Bridges and Lloyd, an accounting firm, provides consulting and tax planning services. For many years, the firm's total administrative cost (currently $250,000) has been allocated to services on the basis of billable hours to clients. A recent analysis found that 65% of the firm's billable hours to clients resulted from tax planning services, while 35% resulted from consulting services. The firm, contemplating a change to activity-based costing, has identified three components of administrative cost, as follows:
Staff Support $ 180,000
In-house computing charges 50,000
Miscellaneous office costs 20,000
Total $ 250,000
A recent analysis of staff support found a strong correlation between the number of staff personnel and the number of clients served (consulting, 20; tax planning, 60). In contrast, in-house computing and miscellaneous office cost varied directly with the number of computer hours logged and number of client transactions, respectively. Consulting consumed 30% of the firm's computer hours and had 20% of the total client transactions.
If Bridges and Lloyd switched from its current accounting method to an activity-based costing system, the amount of administrative cost chargeable to consulting services would:________.
a. decrease by $23,500.
b. change, but the amount cannot be determined based on the information presented.
c. increase by $23,500.
d. decrease by $32,500.
e. change by an amount other than those listed.

If the technology, the nature of competition, or the regulatory environment changes in an industry, then: Question 2 options: organizations are created by random events, just like markets. the appropriate organizational architecture will change too. a good organizational architecture is always able to cope with changes. organizational architecture is able to restore the former market environment.
Answer:
the appropriate organizational architecture will change too.
Explanation:
Technology can be defined as a branch of knowledge which typically involves the process of applying, creating and managing practical or scientific knowledge to solve problems and improve human life. Technologies are applied to many fields in the world such as medicine, information technology, cybersecurity, engineering, environmental etc.
If the technology, the nature of competition, or the regulatory environment changes in an industry, then the appropriate organizational architecture will change too. This is so because the organizational architecture is required to be flexible and adaptive to most external and internal factors that affects the organization.
Hence, an organizational architecture that isn't adaptive to changes wouldn't be able to compete with other rival organizations in the same industry and as such would be running at a loss and subsequently, go bankrupt.
Peggy is an executive for the Tan Furniture Manufacturing Company. She purchased furniture from the company for $9,500, the price Tan ordinarily would charge a wholesaler for the same items. The retail price of the furniture was $12,500, and Tan's cost was $9,000. The company also paid for Peggy's parking space in a garage near the office. The parking fee was $600 for the year.

The US Government is forecasting that the nominal risk-free rate of return on Treasury Notes maturing in 7 years is 2.5% and is expected to be constant for the foreseeable future. Apple Computer's Treasury department is considering issuing a 7 year corporate bond and they know that Apple's corporate bonds generally yield investors 100 basis points or 1% over the nominal risk free rate at the time of issuance. The bonds will be issued at par value. What is the coupon percentage and total yield expected on these new 7 year bonds?
a. 3.5%
b. 10%
c. 2.5
d. Cannot determine
Answer:
a. 3.5%
Explanation:
If the nominal interest rate of the Treasury bonds is 2.5%, and Apple's corporate bonds yield 1%, just add 2.5% + 1% = 3.5%.
when you are talking about bonds, 100 points = 1%. This many times confuses people that are not aware of this since you hear that a bond will pay 50 points more and you imagine a really high interest rate.

The Bloomfield Corporation sells three items of inventory: rulers, mechanical pencils, and notebooks. The company begins operations on April 1, 2017 by purchasing 100 rulers at $6 each; 70 mechanical pencils at $8 each; and 120 notebooks at $7 each. Using the information above, calculate the book value (i.e., balance sheet value) of the three categories of inventory that Bloomfield would report as of April 1, 2017. Rulers: Pencils: Notebooks: Total: Now assume that Bloomfield incurs the following additional expenditures to acquire the inventory on April 1, 2017: The 100 rulers have a flat shipping fee of $15. The mechanical pencils are imported; each unit is subject to an import duty of $0.50. The notebooks ship with a flat fee of $12 plus $0.10 per unit. Re-calculate the book value of the three inventory categories as of April 1, 2017, taking into account the additional expenditures noted above.
Answer:
Value of inventories
1. Rulers = 100*$6 = $600
2. Pencils = 70*$8 = $560
3. Notebooks = 120*$7 = $840
Total $2,000
Value of inventories after additional information
1. Rulers = [(100*$6) + $15] = $615
2. Pencils = (70*$8) + (70*$0.50) = $595
3. Notebooks= (120*$7) + $12 + (120*$0.10) $864
Total $2,074
The value carried by the inventories would be as follows:
1. Rulers [tex]= 100[/tex] × $[tex]6[/tex] [tex]=[/tex] $[tex]600[/tex]
2. Pencils [tex]= 70[/tex] × $[tex]8[/tex] [tex]=[/tex] $[tex]560[/tex]
3. Notebooks [tex]= 120[/tex] × $[tex]7[/tex] [tex]=[/tex] $[tex]840[/tex]
Total $[tex]2,000[/tex]
What is a Balance Sheet?A Balance sheet is described as the sum up of the equity, assets, as well as liabilities held by an organization at the end of a year.
The valuation or the cost of inventories post the addition would be as follows:
1. Rulers [tex]= 100[/tex] × $[tex]6[/tex] + $[tex]15[/tex] [tex]=[/tex] $[tex]615[/tex]

An investor, such as a bank, may prefer to invest in securities backed by a pool of mortgages purchased in the secondary market rather than in an equal dollar amount of mortgage loans because:_________
a. mortgage backed securities eliminate prepayment risk for the investor.
b. mortgage backed securities diversify credit risk for the investor.
c. mortgage backed securities offer higher yields than individual mortgages.
d. mortgage backed securities returns are tax-exempt.
Answer:
b. mortgage backed securities diversify credit risk for the investor.

Amount paid in full=$3,566
B. Amount paid in full=(3,250-1,000)*(100%-2%) +400
Amount paid in full=(3,250-1,000)*98% +400
Amount paid in full=2,250*98%+400
Amount paid in full=$2,605
Therefore the amount to be paid in full settlement of each of two invoices, (a) and (b) will be :

The retained earnings statement is the statement of owner's equity that outlines details of changes in the amount of retained earnings (profits) over a specified period in an organization.
Hence, the two main sources of stockholders' equity are investments by stockholders and net income retained in the business.

3. Year 2 ending inventoryunanswered
4. Year 2 beginning inventory
Answer:
1. Year 1 cost of goods sold
2. Year 2 cost of goods sold
4. Year 2 beginning inventory
Explanation:
If year 1's ending inventory is wrong, the beginning inventory of year 2 will also be wrong (they are the same).
Cost of goods sold = cost of goods available for sale - ending inventory, so COGS for year 1 will be affected since ending inventory is wrong
Cost of goods available for sale = beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory. Since beginning inventory year 2 is wrong, the cost of goods available for sale will also be wrong, as well as COGS

(a) Determine the overhead rates for each activity Expected Use Estimatedof Cost Driver/Activity-Based
Activity Cost Pools Overhead Activity OH Rates
Materials Handling/ requisition
Machine Setups/setup
Quality inspections/ inspection
(b) Assign the manufacturing overhead costs for April to the two products using activity-based costing, and calculate a per unit OH cost.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the activity rates using the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Materials handling= 40,000 / 1,000= $40 per requisition
Machine setups= 21,500 /500= $43 per setup
Quality inspection= 33,000 / 600= $55 per inspections
Now, we can allocate overhead to each product:
Missile range instruments:
Materials handling= 40*400= $16,000
Machine setups= 43*200= $8,600
Quality inspection= 55*200= $11,000
Total allocated overhead= $35,600
Space pressure gauges:
Materials handling= 40*600= $24,000
Machine setups= 43*300= $12,900
Quality inspection= 55*400= $22,000
Total allocated overhead= $58,900
Finally, the unitary overhead cost:
Missile range instruments:
Unitary allocated overhead= 35,600/50= $712
Space pressure gauges:
Unitary allocated overhead= 58,900/300= $196.33
Which of the following is an example of frictional unemployment? A former mayor doing volunteer work A former mayor doing volunteer work A factory worker who loses her job because of recession A factory worker who loses her job because of recession A college student working part-time at the campus bookstore A college student working part-time at the campus bookstore A college graduate interviewing for two available positions A college graduate interviewing for two available positions An architect whose job is replaced by computer software that designs buildings
Answer:
A college graduate interviewing for two available positions
Explanation:
Frictional unemployment . the period of time a person is unemployed from the period he leaves his current job and the time he gets another job. Eg. when a real estate agent who leaves a job in Texas and searches for a similar, higher-paying job in California.
An architect whose job is replaced by computer software that designs buildings is an example of structural unemployment. Structural unemployment i is an unemployment that occurs as a result of changes in the economy. These changes can be as a result of changes in technology, polices or competition . Structural unemployment tends to be permanent.
A factory worker who loses her job because of recession is an example of cyclical recession. Cyclical unemployment occurs as a result of fluctuations in the economy.
A company begins a review of ordering policies for its continuous review system by checking the current policies for a sample of SKUs. Following are the characteristics of one item:
Demand (D) = 72 units/week (Assume 48 weeks per year)
Ordering and setup cost (S) = $55 /order
Holding cost (H) = $18 /unit/year
Lead time (L) = 3 week(s)
Standard deviation of weekly demand = 18 units
Cycle-service level = 90 percent
EOQ = 145 units
Under the same information as above, develop the best policies for a periodic review system.
1. The value of P that gives the same approximate number of orders per year as the EOQ is weeks (Hint: please round your answer to the nearest positive integer number).
2. The target inventory level that provides an 88 percent cycle-service level is units (Hint: please round your answer to the nearest positive integer number).
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that:
weekly demand = 72 units
no of weeks in 1 year = 48
Then; total demand = 72 × 48 = 3456 units
No of orders = [tex]\dfrac{\text{total demand }}{EOQ}[/tex]
= [tex]\dfrac{\text{3456}}{145}[/tex]
∴
The periodic review (P) = [tex]\dfrac{1}{no \ of \ orders}[/tex]
= [tex]\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{3456}{145}}[/tex]
[tex]= \dfrac{145}{3456}[/tex]
= 0.041956 year
≅ 2 weeks
Z score based on 88 percent service level = NORMSINV(0.88) = 1.18
Here;
Lead time = 3 wks
P = 2 weeks
Thus protection interval = ( 3+2) weeks
= 5 weeks
Safety stock = z-score × std dev. of demand at (P+L) days
std dev = [tex]\sqrt{5 } \times 18[/tex] = 2.236 × 18
std dev = 40.248 units
Safety stock = 1.18 × 40.248
safety stock = 47.49 units
Safety stock ≅ 48 units
Average demand during(P + L) = 5 × 72 units
= 360 units
Target inventory level = average demand + safety stock
= 360 units + 48 units
= 408 units
John is 63 years old, owns his house, and is a little bit anxious about whether
he has enough money for retirement. He is considering borrowing $20,000
against his home to invest in a series of aggressive growth sock mutual funds.
The track record for these funds over the last three years has been an average
growth rate of 21.2%. The interest rate on the loan would only be 7.5%. Should
john do this to help with his retirement?
Answer:
yes
Explanation:
John makes more money per year with the growth stock mutal funds
It will be an wise decision to borrow $20,000 against his home to invest in a series of aggressive growth sock mutual funds.
What is a wise investment decision?This involve making decision that seems abnormal but are quite effective in the long-run.
Hence, it is a wise decision for John for his retirement if he $20,000 against his home to invest in a series of aggressive growth sock mutual funds because the high rate of the mutual fund will offset the loan interest rate.

We have a graduated tax system, and the tax brackets are listed in Appendix A. If you are not familiar with the Fair Tax and Flat Tax ideas, do a little research. Share what you think would be best for our country.
Explanation:
i think the graduated tax system is fairest ,it imposes a higher rate on the rich than the poor and all this is done based on the tax payer if this is done it will help the poor to pay for needs such as shelter food and other personal needs it allows the poor to spend most of they money
On January 1, Smith Industries leased equipment to a customer for a four-year period, at which time possession of the leased asset will revert back to Smith. The equipment cost Smith $425,000 and has an expected useful life of six years. Its normal sales price is $425,000. The residual value after four years is $100,000. Lease payments are due on December 31 of each year, beginning with the first payment at the end of the first year. The interest rate is 8%. Calculate the amount of the annual lease payments. (Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.)
Answer:
The amount of the annual lease payments is $98,124.
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the formula for calculating loan amortization as follows:
P = (A * (r * (1 + r)^n)) / (((1+r)^n) - 1) .................................... (1)
Where,
P = Annual lease payments = ?
A = Amount to be recovered through periodic lease payments = Equipment cost - Residual value = $425,000 - $100,000 = $325,000
r = interest rate = 8%, or 0.08
n = Number of years of lease term = 4
Substituting all the figures into equation (1), we have:
P = ($325,000 * (0.08 * (1 + 0.08)^4)) / (((1+0.08)^4) - 1)
P = $98,124.2614475627
Rounding to the nearest whole dollar as required, we have:
P = $98,124
Therefore, the amount of the annual lease payments is $98,124.
The relationship between the type of diversification and overall firm performance Multiple Choice takes on the shape of an inverted U so related diversification has the best performance. is negative, meaning that more diversification always leads to lower firm performance. there is no relationship between the type of diversification and overall firm performance. takes on the shape of a U where modest diversification has the worst performance. is positive, meaning that more diversification always leads to higher firm performance.
Answer:
takes on the shape of an inverted U so related diversification has the best performance.
Explanation:
A portfolio variance is used to determine the overall risk or dispersion of returns of a portfolio and it is the square of the standard deviation associated with the particular portfolio.
The portfolio variance is given by the equation;
[tex]Variance = w^{2}_{1} d^{2}_{1} + w^{2}_{2} d^{2}_{2}+2w_{1}w_{2}C_{OV_{1, 2}}[/tex]
Where;
[tex]w_{n}[/tex] = the weight of the nth security.
[tex]d^{2}_{n}[/tex] = the variance of the nth security.
[tex]C_{OV_{1, 2}}[/tex] = the covariance of the two security.
The relationship between the type of diversification and overall firm performance takes on the shape of an inverted U, so related diversification has the best performance.
A non-current asset was depreciated at the end of the first year of ownership using the straight-line method based on the following information. Cost $20 000 Working life 4 years Residual value $4000 It was then found that the reducing balance method at 30% per annum should have been used. What was the effect on the profit for the year of correcting this error?
A Decrease by $2000
B Increase by $2000
C Decrease by $6000
D Increase by $6000
Answer:
Correcting the error, the residual value of the product would increase by $802.
Explanation:
Since a non-current asset was depreciated at the end of the first year of ownership using the straight-line method based on the following information: Cost $ 20,000 Working life 4 years Residual value $ 4000; and it was then found that the reducing balance method at 30% per annum should have been used, to determine what was the effect on the profit for the year of correcting this error the following calculation should be performed:
100 - 30 = 70
Year 0: 20,000
Year 1: 20,000 x 0.7 = 14,000
Year 2: 14,000 x 0.7 = 9,800
Year 3: 9,800 x 0.7 = 6,860
Year 4: 6,860 x 0.7 = 4,802
Thus, correcting this error, the residual value of the product would increase by $ 802.
