Answer:
b. Has a discrimination claim under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 because color discriminate can occur between members of the same race.
Explanation:
Discrimination is prohibited under the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which states that it is illegal to discriminate against a party based on the color of their skin, country of origin, or racial composition.
Same race discrimination is when the perpetrator is also from the Sam race as the victim.
For example on September 11, 2000, Zeke Wilson a black boxing promoter brought racism charges against a chairman of the state sports commission who was also black. For failing to provide promoter protection when William Pender a white boxing commisioner performed discriminatory acts against Zeke.
Dena is performing same race discrimination by passing over Indigo because of her skin colour.
Final answer:
Color discrimination can occur b. between members of the same race, making Indigo eligible to file a claim under Title VII.
Explanation:
The answer to this question is has a discrimination claim under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 because color discrimination can occur between members of the same race. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employment discrimination based on race, including color discrimination. Even though Deana is also African American, her preference for lighter-skinned cosmetic consultants can still be considered color discrimination.
Thus, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 forbids discrimination, stating that it is unlawful to treat a person unfairly on the basis of their race, national origin, or skin colour. Same-race discrimination occurs when the victim and the offender are members of the same racial group.
You wish to purchase a $1,000 bond from a friend who needs the money. There are 7 years remaining until the bond matures, and interest payments are quarterly. You decide to offer $750.08 for the bond because you want to earn exactly 16% per year compounded quarterly on the investment. What is the annual bond rate of interest?
Answer:
The annual bond rate of interest = 9.8%
Explanation:
A denotes the annual coupon:
750.08 = A(P/A, 16%, 7) + ([tex]\frac{1,000}{(1+0.16)}[/tex]⁷
Annuity factor at 16% at 7 years = 4.039 (By cumulative present value table)
750.08 = 4.039 A + 353.83
4.039 A = 396.25
A = (396.25 ÷ 4.039)
A = 98.11
Calculating annual bond rate:
r = (98.11 ÷ 1,000) × 100
r = 9.811%
The annual bond rate being rounded off is 9.8% (answer).
Agri Farm Ventures produces cases of food products. Each case contains an assortment of fruits, vegetables, and other fresh produce. Each case costs $5 and sells for $15. If there are any cases not sold by the end of the day, these are sold to another company for $3 a case to process. The probability that the daily demand will be 100 cases is 0.3, the probability that daily demand will be 200 cases is 0.4, and the probability that daily demand will be 300 cases is 0.3. Agri Farm Ventures has a policy of making sure customers are always satisfied. Hence, if its own supply of cases of food products is less than the demand, it buys the necessary products from a competitor. The estimated cost of doing this is $16 per case. Question 1 1 pts Refer to the Agri Farm Ventures problem. What are the decision alternatives
Answer:(1) They should be producing 300 cases each day because it result in the highest EMV of $1,800 (2) The cases that are not sold by the end of the day should be sold to another company to process in order to reduce their loss (3) When their own supply is less than demand they should buy necessary products from a competitor in order to ensure that they do not lose their customers.
Explanation:
We compute a decision table to solve the question as follows
When demand is 100 cases
At decision table
100 =( 100 × 15)- (100 ×5)
=1,500 - 500
=1,000
At decision table
200 = (100×15)- (100×5)-(100×16)-(100×15)
=(1,500 - 500 )-( 1,600 - 1,500)
=1,000 - 100
=900
At decision table
300= (100 × 15) - (100 × 5) - (200 × 16) - (200 × 15)
= (1,500 - 500) - (3,200 - 3,000)
= 1,000 - 200
=800
EMV when demand is 100 cases
= 0.3 (1000) + 0.4 (900) + 0.3 (800)
=300 + 360 + 240
=900
When demand is 200 cases
At decision table
100 = (100 × 15) - (200 × 5 ) + (100 × 3)
= (1,500 -1000) + 300
=500 + 300
= 800
At decision table
200 = (200 ×15) - (200 × 5)
= 3,000 - 1,000
= 2,000
At decision table
300 = (200 × 15) - (200 × 5) - (100 × 16)- (100 × 15)
= (3,000 - 1,000) - (1,600 - 1,500)
= 2,000 - 100
= 1,900
EMV when demand is 200 cases
0.3 (800) + 0.4 (2,000) + 0.3 (1,900)
=240 + 800 + 570
= 1,610
When demand is 300 cases
At decision table
100 = (100 × 15) - (300 × 5) + (200 × 3)
= (1,500 - 1,500) + (600)
= 0 + 600
= 600
At decision table
200= (200 × 15) - ( 300 × 5) + (100 × 3)
= (3,000 - 1,500) + (300)
= 1,500 + 300
= 1,800
At decision table
300 = (300 × 15) - (300 × 5)
= (4,500 - 1,500)
= 3,000
EMV when demand is 300
0.3 ( 600) + 0.4 (1,800) + 0.3 (3,000)
= 180 + 720 + 900
=1,800
The decision alternatives based on the decision table is that
(1) They should be producing 300 cases each day because it result in the highest EMV of $1,800
(2) The cases that are not sold by the end of the day should be sold to another company to process in order to reduce their loss
(3) When their own supply is less than demand they should buy from competitors in order to ensure that they do not lose their customers
Answer:
Explanation:
We need to calculated the expected return for each scenario
Probability of 100 cases sold
(100*15)-(100*5)=$1000
200 cases there is also a possibility that supply will be greater than the demand so the case will be sold to competitor so 100 cases bought from competitor at $16 cost and sold for $15
[(100*$15)-(100*$5) ] +[(100*$16)-(100*$15)=$900
300 cases there is also a possibility that supply will be greater than the demand so the case will be sold to competitor so 200 cases bought from competitor at $16 cost and sold for $15
[(100*$15)-(100*$5)]+[(200*$16)-(200*$15)]=$800
Then calculate the probabilites of each to see the decisions
$1000*0.3=$300
$900*0.4=$360
$800*0.3=$240
Mandalay had cash flow from operations (in millions) of $358, cash flows from investments of -$160, cash flows from financing of -$198, and net income of $53. Mandalay had free cash flow of: a. $160 b. $0 c. $198 d. $251
Answer:
The correct answer is:
$0 (b.)
Explanation:
Free cash flow refers to the cash a company generates after the cash that goes out to support operations and maintain capital asset have been made up for. It refers essentially to all the cash available to the owners of a business after all the operation expenses and investment capital has been accounted for. It is worthy of note that Free Cash Flows (FCFs) are different from net income.
In order to calculate the free cash flow, we have to identify all the cash inflows and the cash outflows, and subtract the cash outflows from the cash inflow.
Cash inflow = Cash flow from operations = $358 million
Cash outflow = cash flow from investment + cash flow from financing (They are denoted by the negative (-) sign)
Cash outflows (millions)= -$160 + (-$198) = -$358 million.
Therefore Free cash flow (million)= 358 - 358 = $0
Concord Industries collected $105,000 from customers in 2019. Of the amount collected, $25,300 was for services performed in 2018. In addition, Concord performed services worth $39,000 in 2019, which will not be collected until 2020. Concord Industries also paid $73,800 for expenses in 2019. Of the amount paid, $29,800 was for expenses incurred on account in 2018. In addition, Concord incurred $42,100 of expenses in 2019, which will not be paid until 2020. (a) Compute 2019 cash-basis net income. Cash-basis net income $enter the cash-basis net income
Answer:
$31,200
Explanation:
Cash basis income recognition records transactions as per receipts and payments in cash and ignores the period they relate to. Cash basis of accounting is not in accordance with matching principle of accounting.
Cash basis of accounting is not recommended by either IFRS or US GAAPs since it overlooks the incomes earned and expenses incurred during a period.
In the given case, Net Income based upon cash basis would be computed as follows:
All cash receipts during the year 2019 - All expenses paid during the year 2019
= 105,000 - 73,800
= $31,200
The 2019 cash-basis net income for Concord Industries is calculated by subtracting the cash payments for expenses ($73,800) from the cash collected from customers ($105,000), resulting in a cash-basis net income of $31,200.
To compute the 2019 cash-basis net income for Concord Industries, we need to consider only the cash transactions that occurred during the year.
Therefore, we will include cash collected from customers and cash paid for expenses in 2019, ignoring any services performed or expenses incurred in different years that were not paid or collected in 2019.
The cash collected from customers in 2019 is $105,000. However, of this amount, $25,300 was for services performed in 2018, which means this amount is not considered for the 2019 cash-basis net income.
The cash paid for expenses in 2019 is $73,800, and this entire amount is relevant as it represents cash outflows for the year. Therefore, the 2019 cash-basis net income is calculated as follows:
2019 Cash Collections - 2019 Cash Payments = Cash-basis Net Income
$105,000 (cash collected) - $73,800 (cash paid for expenses) = $31,200
The cash-basis net income for Concord Industries in 2019 is $31,200.
Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. Corporations and partnerships have an advantage over proprietorships because a sole proprietor is exposed to unlimited liability, but the liability of all investors in the other types of businesses is more limited. b. Because most stock ownership is concentrated in the hands of a relatively small segment of society, firms' actions to maximize their stock prices have little benefit to society. c. Most business in the U.S. is conducted by corporations, and corporations' popularity results primarily from their favorable tax treatment. d. The potential exists for agency conflicts between stockholders and managers. e. A good goal for a firm's management is maximization of expected EPS. 1 points
Answer:
d. The potential exists for agency conflicts between stockholders and managers.
Explanation:
In a company the shareholders are the owners of the company who own shares and have stake in the company. They employ managers to take care of the daily running of the company.
There is the potential of conflict between the shareholders and the management of the company because shareholders just want to make short term profit, whole the management of the company may want to take initiatives that will lead to future gains.
Management will need to communicate effectively reason for temporary slump in profits, and emphasise future gains the company stands to get.
a retirement plan guarantees to pay you a fixed amount for 25 years. at the time of retirement, you will have $100,000 to your credit in the plan. the plan anticipates earning 7% interest annually over the period you receive benefits. assume the first payment occurs one year from your retirement date, how much will your annual benefits be
Answer:
The annual benefits will be$8,581.05
Explanation:
The applicable formula is the present value of an ordinary annuity,which is given as;
PV=A*(1-(1+r)^-N)/r
PV is the amount that would be in the plan at retirement which is $100,000
A is the annual benefits which is unknown
n is the number of years the investment would take which is 25 years
r is the rate of return on investment which is 7%
A=PV/(1-(1+r)^-N)/r
A=100000/(1-(1+7%)^-25/7%
A=100000/1-(1.07)^-25/0.07
A=100000/(1-0.184249178 )/0.07
A=100000/11.65358317
A=$8581.05
Final answer:
To calculate the annual benefits from the retirement plan, the present value of an annuity formula is used with a known present value of $100,000, interest rate of 7%, and duration of 25 years to find the fixed annual benefit amount.
Explanation:
The question involves calculating the annual benefits a retiree would receive from a retirement plan that guarantees a fixed amount for 25 years with an initial credit of $100,000 anticipating a 7% annual interest rate. To find the annual benefits, we need to use the formula for the present value of an annuity. The formula can be described as PV = PMT imes rac{1 - (1 + r)^{-n}}{r} where PV is the present value, PMT is the annuity payment, r is the interest rate per period, and n is the number of periods.
Since we know the present value (PV = $100,000), the interest rate (r = 7% or 0.07), and the number of periods (n = 25 years), we can rearrange the formula to solve for PMT, which represents the annual benefits. The calculation will give us the fixed amount the retiree can expect to receive annually for the next 25 years.
During 2018, Colorado Company stock was sold for $9,400. The fair value of the stock on December 31, 2018, was Clemson Corp. stock—$19,100; Buffaloes Co. stock—$20,500. None of the equity investments result in significant influence. (a) Prepare the adjusting journal entry needed on December 31, 2017. (b) Prepare the journal entry to record the sale of the Colorado Co. stock during 2018. (c) Prepare the adjusting journal entry needed on December 31, 2018.
Explanation:
The journal entries are as follows
a. Unrealized Holding Gain or Loss Dr $1,310
To Fair value Adjustment $1,310
(Being the unrealized gain or loss is recorded)
2. Cash $9,410
Loss on Sale of Investment $490 ($9,900 - $9,410)
To Equity Investment $9,900
(Being the sale of the stock is recorded)
3. Fair value Adjustment $1,020
To Unrealized Holding Gain or Loss $1,020
(Being the fair value adjustment is recorded)
The computation is shown below:
Stock Cost Fair Value Unrealized Gain(Loss)
Clemson Corp. Stock $20,200 $19,410 -$790
Buffaloes Co. stock $20,200 $20,700 $500
Net unrealized gain (loss) -$290
2017 -$1,310
Fair value adjustment -$1,020
In a random sample of 651 computer scientists who subscribed to a web-based daily news update, it was found that the average salary was $46,816 with a population standard deviation of $12,557. Calculate a 91 percent confidence interval for the mean salary of computer scientists.
Answer:
[tex]46816-1.70\frac{12557}{\sqrt{651}}=45979.35[/tex]
[tex]46816+1.70\frac{12557}{\sqrt{651}}=47652.65[/tex]
So on this case the 91% confidence interval would be given by (45979.35;47652.65)
Explanation:
Previous concepts
A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".
The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".
[tex]\bar X=46816[/tex] represent the sample mean for the sample
[tex]\mu[/tex] population mean (variable of interest)
[tex]\sigma=12557[/tex] represent the population standard deviation
n=651 represent the sample size
Solution to the problem
The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:
[tex]\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex] (1)
Since the Confidence is 0.91 or 91%, the value of [tex]\alpha=0.09[/tex] and [tex]\alpha/2 =0.045[/tex], and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.045,0,1)".And we see that [tex]z_{\alpha/2}=1.70[/tex]
Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):
[tex]46816-1.70\frac{12557}{\sqrt{651}}=45979.35[/tex]
[tex]46816+1.70\frac{12557}{\sqrt{651}}=47652.65[/tex]
So on this case the 91% confidence interval would be given by (45979.35;47652.65)

What factors are important for the MIG owners to consider before making a decision on whether or not they should sell the restaurant to AECB? Why are these factors important?
There are varying basic criterias to evaluate when selling a company that an individual began from the scratch.
The number one criteria is mainly the monetary side of selling. Did the individual make high profit to be appreciated for all the individual time and effort.
Another basic criteria is how an individual is going to feel after selling to another person his/her hard thought and drafted organization, (business). When an individual establish something from the start up it gradually turns into a part of the individual in some aspect, how the individual identify himself/herself.
These criterias are necessary due to the fact that it is a long lasting decision that will influence not only the individual but the entirety of the staff and the individual family members that are yet to work at the restaurant even for a time in their life.

Grady is a member of a large family and received the following payments this year.
For each payment, determine whether the payment constitutes realized income and determine the amount of each payment Grady must include in his gross income. (Leave no answer blank. Enter zero if applicable.)
a) A gift of $30,600 from Grady’s grandfather.
b) 680 shares of GM stock worth $282 per share inherited from Grady’s uncle. The uncle purchased the shares for $82 each, and the shares are worth $287 at year-end.
c) A gift of $53,000 of Ford Motor Bonds. Grady received the bonds on October 31, and he received $1,590 of semiannual interest from the bonds on December 31.
d) A loan of $7,200 for school expenses from Grady’s aunt.
Answer:
Explanation:
a) The gift is realized income and it is completely excluded from gross income
b) Inheritances are realized income but are entirely excluded from gross income. The increase in the value of the shares during the year has not yet been realized. so it is realized income and completely excluded from gross income
c) The gift of the bonds is realized income that is entirely excluded from gross income. The interest accrued up to October 31st and is excluded because it was accrued at the time of the gift. As such, the accrued income was part of the gift. Grady is taxed on $1590/3 = 530 of interest that accrued after the date of the gift (he is taxed on it when he receives the gift)
d) A bona fide loan is not realized income so it is completely excluded from gross income
Grady's gift of $30,600, inheritance of GM stock, and $7,200 loan are not considered taxable and must not be included in his gross income. Only the $1,590 of interest from the Ford Motor Bonds is considered taxable income and should be included in Grady's gross income.
Explanation:When looking at the payments Grady received and determining which constitute realized income and what must be included in his gross income for tax purposes:
a) A gift of $30,600 from Grady's grandfather is not considered realized income for tax purposes because gifts are not taxable to the recipient. Therefore, Grady does not need to include this amount in his gross income. The amount he must include is $0.b) The 680 shares of GM stock inherited from Grady's uncle constitute realized income, but under current tax laws, inheritances are not considered taxable income. Grady would only be taxed on any gains if he were to sell the stocks. Thus, the value of the inherited stock is not included in gross income, and the amount to include is $0. However, the value at year-end is not relevant unless the stock is sold.c) The gift of $53,000 of Ford Motor Bonds is not considered realized income because it is a gift. However, the $1,590 of semiannual interest from the bonds that Grady received is taxable income and must be included in his gross income. Therefore, the amount he must include is $1,590.d) A loan of $7,200 for school expenses from Grady's aunt is not considered realized income, as loans are not taxable and must be repaid. The amount he must include is $0.
Which of the following is a primary characteristic of employing automated equipment in a company with high levels of production? Group of answer choices They help employees to acquire specialized knowledge that helps them complete tasks more efficiently. The general and administrative costs would be high for large companies. They do not help in spreading out the fixed cost of production. Large companies can reduce per-unit cost of production.
Answer: Large companies can reduce per-unit cost of production
Explanation:
A company that is already having high production levels will reduce per-unit cost greatly if they decide to go automated. Since the basic reason for increased automation is to allow for greater efficiency thereby increasing production numbers. This increased productivity which will cause the firm to enjoy greater economies of scale thus lower unit cost. Economies of scale shows the inverse relationship between unit price and quality produced, as quantity increases prices will most likely reduce.
Average fixed costs a. are defined as the change in total costs divided by the change in output. b. will always increase as output increases. c. will always decrease as output expands. d. will remain unchanged as output expands.
Answer:
Option (c) is correct.
Explanation:
Average fixed costs is determined by dividing the total fixed costs by the amount of output produced.
For example:
Total fixed cost = $5,000
Number of units initially produced = 100 units
Therefore, the average fixed cost at 100 units is calculated as follows:
[tex]\frac{Total\ fixed\ cost}{Ot\ produced}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{5,000}{100}[/tex]
= $50 per unit
Now, suppose the number of units produced increases from 100 units to 200 units. Then, the average fixed cost is calculated as follows:[tex]=\frac{Total\ fixed\ cost}{Ot\ produced}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{5,000}{200}[/tex]
= $25 per unit
Therefore, we can conclude that as the output of a particular firm increases, as a result the average fixed cost decreases.
Average fixed costs will remain unchanged as output expands.
Explanation:Average fixed cost is the total fixed cost per unit of output. Average variable cost is the total variable cost per unit of output. Average total cost is the sum of all costs per unit of output.
The average fixed cost must always decline with output because a fixed cost is being spread over more units of output. Hence, when the average total cost curve eventually increases, it is because the increasing variable cost component eventually dominates the declining average fixed cost component.
Therefore, the correct answer is d. will remain unchanged as output expands.
The Trailer division of Baxter Bicycles makes bike trailers that attach to bicycles and can carry children or cargo. The trailers have a retail price of $102 each. Each trailer incurs $44 of variable manufacturing costs. The Trailer division has capacity for 26,000 trailers per year and incurs fixed costs of $570,000 per year.
Answer:
The question is centred on transfer price at which the trailer division sells trailers to the bicycle division as contained in the attached
The transfer price is $102,when there is opportunity to sell externally without surplus capacity
However, in the second instance, transfer price would be between $44 and $102
Explanation:
The first question on transfer price requires a transfer that the trailer division should sell to the bicycle division provided all of the its output could be sold externally,that shows the reasonable price in that instance is the variable of the trailer's division plus the contribution lost per unit from not being able to sell to external parties
This is calculated as:
Variable cost $44
lost contribution($102-$44) $58
Transfer price $102
In the second instance the transfer price would be between the lowest possible transfer price and $102 computed above.
From,the question, there is extra capacity that can be used to fulfill the order of the bicycle, the lowest possible transfer price is variable cost to the trailer division
Employees whose values match the values of the organization they work for generally ________________ than employees whose values don't match the organization.
Answer:
Employees whose values match the values of the organization they work for generally SHOW MORE COMMITMENT TO THEIR JOBS than employees whose values don't match the organization.
Explanation:
Workplace values are the guiding principles that are most integral to the way a company works. Simply put, company's values, and the culture they create can spell the difference between success and failure.
The way people behave is deeply rooted in their values, when employees share their company's values, they make more informed decisions and are more committed to their jobs.
Sharing same values with the organization one works with increases the rate of productivity as one tends to be more motivated and dedicated to the job.
Therefore, the answer that best suits the question is that employees whose values match the values of the organization SHOW MORE COMMITMENT TO THEIR JOBS than employees whose values don't match the organization.
Record transactions of purchasing company. On October 5, Splish Brothers Company buys merchandise on account from Bramble Company. The selling price of the goods is $4,700, and the cost to Bramble Company is $2,820. On October 8, Splish Brothers returns defective goods with a selling price of $720 and a fair value of $125.Record the transactions of Splish BrothersCompany, assuming a perpetual approach.
Final answer:
Splish Brothers Company records a debit to Inventory and a credit to Accounts Payable for $4,700 on the purchase date. When returning defective goods, they debit Accounts Payable and credit Inventory for $720.
Explanation:
On October 5, when Splish Brothers Company buys merchandise from Bramble Company on account, the journal entry on Splish Brothers' books, assuming a perpetual inventory system, would be to debit Inventory for $4,700 and credit Accounts Payable for $4,700, reflecting the purchase of merchandise.
On October 8, when Splish Brothers returns defective goods, they would record the return by debiting Accounts Payable for $720 and crediting Inventory for $720, which shows the reduction of obligation to Bramble Company as well as the decrease in inventory due to the return of defective goods. The fair value of the returned goods is not relevant to this entry on Splish Brothers' books as it pertains to the valuation on Bramble Company's side.
In previous years, Cox Transport reacquired 2 million treasury shares at $20 per share and, later, 1 million treasury shares at $26 per share. If Cox now sells 1 million treasury shares at $29 per share and determines cost as the weighted-average cost of treasury shares, by what amount will Cox’s paid-in capital—share repurchase increase? (Enter your answer in millions (i.e., 10,000,000 should be entered as 10).)
Cox’s paid-in capital—share repurchase will increase by $7 million.
Explanation:To calculate the increase in Cox's paid-in capital—share repurchase, we first need to find the weighted-average cost of the treasury shares. Cox reacquired 2 million shares at $20 and 1 million shares at $26. Therefore, the total cost is (2 million * $20) + (1 million * $26) = $40 million + $26 million = $66 million. The total number of shares reacquired is 2 million + 1 million = 3 million shares. The weighted-average cost per share will be the total cost divided by the total number of shares, which is $66 million / 3 million = $22 per share.
Next, Cox sold 1 million treasury shares at $29 per share. This sale brought in $29 million. Because these shares were bought at a weighted-average cost of $22 per share, the sale resulted in a gain of $29 - $22 = $7 per share, or $7 million in total. Therefore, Cox’s paid-in capital—share repurchase will increase by $7 million.

Cox Transport's paid-in capital will increase by $7 million due to the sale of 1 million treasury shares at $29 per share. The weighted-average cost per treasury share was calculated to be $22. The profit from this transaction is $29 million in proceeds minus $22 million in costs, resulting in a $7 million increase.
Determining the Increase in Paid-in Capital
To determine the increase in Cox Transport’s paid-in capital from the sale of treasury shares, first, we need to calculate the weighted-average cost per treasury share previously acquired.
Step 1: Calculate the Total Cost of Treasury Shares
2 million shares at $20 per share: 2,000,000 * $20 = $40 million
1 million shares at $26 per share: 1,000,000 * $6 = $26 million
Total cost: $40 million + $26 million = $66 million
Step 2: Calculate the Weighted-Average Cost per Share
Total shares = 2 million + 1 million = 3 million shares
Weighted-average cost per share = $66 million / 3 million shares = $22 per share
Step 3: Determine Proceeds from the Sale
1 million shares sold at $29 per share: 1,000,000 * $29 = $29 million
Step 4: Determine Cost of Shares Sold
Cost of 1 million shares = 1,000,000 * $22 = $22 million
Step 5: Calculate Increase in Paid-in Capital
Increase in paid-in capital = Sale proceeds - Cost of shares sold= $29 million - $22 million = $7 million
Therefore, Cox’s paid-in capital—share repurchase will increase by $7 million.
1. All of the factors below create a change in demand for alcohol except: a. Change in cigarette prices given that cigarettes and alcohol are substitutes b. Rise in anti-drinking sentiments across the country c. Increase in risk of liver cirrhosis associated with alcohol consumption d. Rise in price of alcohol e. Rise in income of alcohol consumers (alcohol is a normal good)
Answer:
d. Rise in price of alcohol
Explanation:
Change in Quantity demanded occurs due to change in Price. Change in Demand happens due to factors other than price - Income, Substitute & Complementary good's price, Taste.
Change in alcohol demand - due to substitute Cigarette price change , Change [Decrease] in alcohol demand - due to change in taste based on anti drinking sentiments, higher risk of alcohol liver cirrhosis , Change [Increase] in alcohol demand - due to change [rise] in Income : These all are due to factors other than price & hence are 'Change in Demand'
Rise in price of Alcohol leads to 'Change [Expansion] in Quantity Demanded' due to price change [rise] .
Joe is buying a laptop computer to take on trips. Although she has looked at several brands, she refuses to buy a computer that weighs more than five pounds. Jordana is basing her decision on
a. a compensatory decision rule.
b. habitual decision making.
c. a noncompensatory decision rule.
d. social factors.
e. temporal factors.
Answer:
c. a non compensatory decision rule.
Explanation:
A non compensatory decision rule refers to the consumer decision wherein positive attributes related to a product do not make up for the negative attributes of the product.
Non compensatory decision rules make the buying process convenient as in such cases, the consumer is particular about a specific attributes he/she desires and is not bothered about the other attributes.
In the given case, Joe's criteria for purchase being the threshold weight limit of the system beyond which, no matter how many other positive attributes the product offers, it will not be purchased.
Similarly, if the product is within the threshold weight limit of 5 pounds, some negative attributes will not deter her from buying the product i.e laptop computer here.
During World War II, both Germany and England had plans for a paper weapon: they each printed the other's currency, with the intention of dropping large quantities by airplane, so as to increase the other's money supply. Select all of the following reasons that might have made this an effective weapon. Support for the opposing country would rise.Relative prices would become more variable.It would create additional seigniorage revenue for the country.Menu and shoeleather costs would rise.The banking system would fail.Hyperinflation could undermine the public's confidence in the economy.\
Answer:
Relative prices would become more variable.
Menu and shoeleather costs would rise.
Hyperinflation could undermine the public's confidence in the economy.
Explanation:
The first reason that would make this to be effective is the hyperinflation that it will create and this is very bad for the economy as too much money will be chasing fewer goods.
Examples of what the effect of a paper money would be include: extreme hyperinflation can reduce the confidence of the public in the economy and economic policy; variability of the relative price between the countries will rise; shoeleather and menu costs will rise; it will result in an arbitrary change in tax liability; the level of uncertainty in the economy will rise and there will be an arbitrary wealth redistribution.
it should be noted this action would not deny the government seigniorage revenue from the inflation that would follow as the public will get the money dropped by the foreign airplanes.
World War II was a war that is commonly known in history. During World War II, both Germany and England had plans for a paper weapon. This may might this have been an effective weapon because;
Hyperinflation could undermine the public's confidence in the economy.
A paper weapon might have been effective for all the reasons that hyperinflation is bad. Note that a great increase in the money supply will also increase menu cost and thus making relative prices more variable;
When there is hyperinflation found to be very extreme, it can bring down the people's confidence in the economy of the country and economic policy.
Hyperinflation often takes place in times of war and economic turmoil in the production economy and this can lead to a surge in prices for basic goods

Steamroller Company sells two products—J and B. Steamroller predicts that it will sell 7400 units of J and 6500 units of B in the next period. The unit contribution margins are $2.90 and $6.30 for products J and B, respectively. What is the weighted-average unit contribution margin?
Answer:
The weighted-average unit contribution margin is $4.50 per unit.
Explanation:
Weighted Average contribution margin is the average contribution margin of all products company sells.
Sale
Product J = 7,400
Product B = 6,500
Unit contribution margin
Product J = $2.9
Product B = $6.3
Contribution of Product J = 7,400 x $2.9 = $21,460
Contribution of Product B = 6,500 x $6.3 = $40,950
Total Contribution = $21,460 + 40,950 = $62,410
Total Sales Unit = 7,400 + 6,500 = 13,900 units
Weighted average contribution margin = Total Contribution / Total sales unit
Weighted average contribution margin = $62,410 / 13,900 units
Weighted average contribution margin = $4.49 per unit
Weighted average contribution margin = $4.5 per unit

In the long run, a(n) ______ orientation may be better for companies, perhaps because it increases employees’ awareness of ethics issues at work. a. code b. obedience c. values d. compliance e. individual
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "C": values.
Explanation:
Every company must establish a Code of Ethics. This is a type of handbook that allows employees to know what are the positive behaviors expected from them at work and what type of actions are not desired and can be even penalized. Thus, values keep employees and managers aware of ethical issues that could be taking place which is beneficial for entities in the long term since workers would be likely to avoid them.
Final answer:
The correct answer is 'c. values orientation' which reflects a company culture that promotes ethical behavior and improved awareness of ethical issues at work, influencing ethical decision-making and contributing to long-term organizational success.
Explanation:
In the context of organizational ethics and behavior, the correct answer to the question is c. values orientation. A values orientation within a company emphasizes an ethical culture where values such as integrity, accountability, and a commitment to doing what is right are highly promoted. This type of orientation can improve awareness of ethical issues within the workplace. It potentially leads to better ethical decision-making across the organization, which can contribute to long-term success.
For example, when employees have a clear understanding of the core values and the ethical expectations within their organization, it may influence how they interact with colleagues, make decisions, and serve customers or clients. The impact of a values orientation is substantial because it encourages employees to internalize the principles that guide their behavior rather than simply following rules or directives.
Furthermore, as part of a values-oriented culture, organizational leaders may establish training programs, create forums for ethical discussions, and recognize employees who demonstrate the company's values in action. By doing so, they help ensure that their values orientation translates into everyday practices that support a responsible and ethical business environment.
