The journal entries post debits to Construction in Progress for each year until the job's completion in 2023. The partial balance sheets for 2021 and 2022 show Construction in Progress, Billings on Construction Contract, and Deferred Revenue.
Explanation:The construction contract between Westgate Construction Company and Santa Clara County is recognized as a point in time recognition contract, meaning that revenue and gross profit are recognized upon the completion of the contract - not gradually during the construction.
For the revenue and gross profit recognition in each of the three years:2021, 2022, no revenue or gross profit is recognized as the project is ongoing.2023, revenue is recognized at $10,000,000 (the contract value), and gross profit is recognized at the revenue value subtracts the total costs of $8,200,000 (=$2,400,000+$3,600,000+$2,200,000), which equals $1,800,000.
For the journal entries:2021: Debit Construction in Progress $2,400,000, Credit Various accounts $2,400,000.2022: Debit Construction in Progress $3,600,000, Credit Various accounts $3,600,000.2023: Debit Cost of Goods Sold $2,200,000 and Accounts Receivable $4,000,000, Credit Construction in Progress $8,200,000, Revenue $10,000,000 and Various accounts $2,200,000.

2021:If the incentive to take advantage of a conflict of interest is high Question 3 options: A) removing the economies of scope that created the conflict may induce higher costs because of the decrease in the flow of reliable information. B) firms will always step in and work to remove the conflict. C) then the government must step in to remove the conflict. D) the costs of non-action in removing the conflict will always be higher than the cost of removing the conflict.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "D": the costs of non-action in removing the conflict will always be higher than the cost of removing the conflict.
Explanation:
Conflicts of interest arise in organizations when the personal interest of a representative contrasts the interest of the company typically resulting in an unethical action. An example of a conflict of interest is influencing the recruitment of an applicant because the representative knows that person.
In case the cost of conflict is high, even higher will be the cost of non-action in removing the conflict since it will be detrimental for the company's interest over the long run.
b. An economy produces only two goods, hot dogs and hamburgers. Both goods are produced efficiently. If a discovery is made of the remarkable health benefits of hot dogs were to change consumers’ preferences, i. Use the productions possibilities frontier to explain what would happen.
Answer:
This will result in move of the economy along the production possibilities frontier.
Explanation:
The production possibility frontier shows the various combinations of resources that can be used to produce two goods in an economy.
For example if hot dogs and hamburgers can be produced and if resources are used equally between them we can get 5:5 ratio of hotdogs to hamburgers.
If a discovery is made of the remarkable health benefits of hot dogs and there is change in consumer preferences, more of available resources will be used to produce hotdogs and less will be dedicated to hamburger production. The ratio of hotdogs to hamburgers may now be 8:2.
Below is an illustration of movement along the production possibility frontier.
Activity Base Data Estimated number of DLH for the year 6,250 Estimated number of MH for the year 4,375 Compute the predetermined factory overhead rate for the current year.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated Direct labor hours= 6,250
Estimated Machine hours= 4,375
We weren't provided with the estimated manufacturing overhead for the period. But, with an example, I can guide the answer.
To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
For example:
Estimated overhead for the period= $275,000
For Direct labor hours:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 275,000/6,250= $44 per direct labor hours
For Machine-hours:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 275,000/4,375= $62.86 per machine hour
You recently interviewed a candidate for a position in your sales department. However, another candidate was more qualified. You want to soften the bad news of rejection for the candidate.
What techniques should you use to cushion the bad news? Check all that apply.
A. Say whatever makes you appear as the "good guy."
B. Invite further correspondence.
C. Close with good wishes.
D. Buffer the opening.
You left work on Thursday evening and forgot to turn in a report that was due that day to your manager. You decide you need to compose an apology.
Answer:
B. Invite further correspondence.
C. Close with good wishes.
D. Buffer the opening.
Explanation:
These are all strategies that can be used to soften the bad news of rejection for a candidate that is not going to be hired. When you buffer the opening of your correspondence, you contribute to making the reader feel less negative about the news. Moreover, by inviting further correspondence, you demonstrate that the rejection is nothing personal and should not be taken as such. Finally, by closing with good wishes, you end on a positive note that is reassuring to the candidate.
Answer:
Explanation:
When employers do send out rejections, they tend to be impersonal and non-specific, either through a lack of time or from fearof causing offence. Failing to give feedback is one of the most common mistakes employers make.
The rule of thumb is to make feedback as constructive and personalized as possible. A standard email may be acceptable for candidates rejected prior to the interview process, but more detailed feedback is important for interviewees. So the time they have taken to give an interview is well paid
Saying whatever makes you appear as the "good guy" wont help either as interviewer needs to care about company's brand name.
Buffer the opening with the appreciation and thank you note. When you’re giving constructive criticism to a candidate, whether on the phone or by mail, it’s always a good idea to start off with the positives and give them some compliments before you tackle the areas where they fell down.
Wherever possible, tell them exactly which areas of the interview they could have handled better - most will already have a good idea of where they struggled. Make sure your reasons are concrete, not subjective like “I didn’t feel your personality would fit with the rest of the team”. You also need to avoid any comments that could be misinterpreted, like “I didn’t feel you could handle the workload” that could leave you open to potential charges of discrimination.
To make the feedback process feel less one-sided and more of a conversation, why not ask the candidate to supply their own comments on the interview. This can help head off problems with your recruitment process and gives you the chance to improve your interview technique.
Invite further correspondence.
To make the feedback process feel less one-sided and more of a conversation, why not ask the candidate to supply their own comments on the interview. This can help head off problems with your recruitment process and gives you the chance to improve your interview technique.
If you are likely to consider the candidate for future opportunities, letting them know you’ll keep their details on file will help soften the blow of the rejection.
Close with good wishes.
You can wish them luck for future opportunities as well invite them for future job posts. This is how interviewee will know the company is welcoming and rejecting for right reasons.
"Please do apply again in the future should you see a job posting for which you qualify. Again, thank you for applying. We wish you all the best. "

Honesty: Since i had the estimate, which i could have shared with the other party but i did not because it would have harmed my profits so, I wasn't honest and violated this clause at first.
We do not deceive or mislead: Once again, I had an information which if shared could have changed the contract but since it was harmful to my business I didn't and I deceived the other party into believing that the contract is done fairly but later on the other party finds out about it they will go to court over this.
We negotiate in good faith: The purpose of this clause is to make sure that all parties involved want something better for everyone. No party is looking for win-lose situation. But the action I as a manager did, also violated this clause, for which the other party can sue me in the court.

One day, Barry the Barber, Inc., collects $450 for haircuts. Over this day, his equipment depreciates in value by $30. Of the remaining $420, Barry sends $40 to the government in sales taxes, takes home $270 in wages, and retains $110 in his business to add new equipment in the future. From the $270 that Barry takes home, he pays $80 in income taxes.Based on this information, complete the following table by computing Barry's contribution to the measures of income listed. "Barry's Contribution (Dollars)", "Measure of Income "Gross Domestic Product_____, Net National Product______, National Income______, Personal Income__________, Disposable Personal Income_________.
Explanation:
Data given in the question
Collection made for haircuts = $450
Equipment Depreciates value = $30
Sales taxes = $40
Wages = $270
New equipment = $110
Home collection = $270
Income taxes = $80
So by considering the above information, the calculation is as follows
Gross domestic product is $450
Net national product is
= Gross domestic product - depreciation
= $450 - $30
= $420
National income is the same as net national product so it is also $420
Personal income is
= National income - new equipment - sales taxes
= $420 - $110 - $40
= $270
And, the disposal personal income is
= Personal income - income tax
= $270 - $80
= $190
Final answer:
Barry the Barber's activities result in $450 for GDP, $420 for NNP, $380 for NI, $350 for PI, and $270 for DPI. These figures are based on his daily earnings, equipment depreciation, taxes, and personal income.
Explanation:
To complete the requested table, we need to understand various economic concepts that Barry the Barber's activities affect: Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Net National Product (NNP), National Income (NI), Personal Income (PI), and Disposable Personal Income (DPI).
Here are the calculations based on the provided information:
Gross Domestic Product (GDP): This includes total income from services provided which is $450.
Net National Product (NNP): This is calculated by subtracting the depreciation of equipment from GDP, which results in $450 - $30 = $420.
National Income (NI): This includes what's left of NNP after paying sales taxes: $420 - $40 = $380.
Personal Income (PI): Barry takes home $270, but we also add back in the income taxes he pays since PI includes all income before taxes, so PI is $270 + $80 = $350.
Disposable Personal Income (DPI): From Barry's PI, we subtract the income taxes he pays, so DPI is $350 - $80 = $270.

Suppose your company imports computer motherboards from Singapore. The exchange rate is currently 1.2871 S$/US$. You have just placed an order for 34,000 motherboards at a cost to you of 233.50 Singapore dollars each. You will pay for the shipment when it arrives in 90 days. You can sell the motherboards for $194 each.
What is your profit at the current exchange rate? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
Explanation:
the value of 1 Singapore dollar = 1/1.2871 = US$0.776940409 this is called direct quotation
or
Value of US$1 = 1.2871 this is called direct quotation
In the question we have indirect quotation
First we need to calculate Singapore dollar For purchases = 34000*233.5
= 7939000
Sale proceeds in US$ =34000*194 = $US 6596000
Using the direct quotation method to convered the USD in to Sigapore $
$1usd = 1.2871
Sale proceeds in Singapore dollar =6596000*1.2871 = 8489711.6
Using the indirect quotation method to convered the USD in to Sigapore $
6596000/0.77694 =8489711.6 indirect Calculation
Gain = Sale - purchase =7939000-8489711.6
Gain =550711.6

Cash flows from financing activities
$ ...... ......
....... ....
......... .....
....... ........
Net cash financing activities $......
Answer:
(-$158,000)
Explanation:
Given that,
Net income = $480,000.
Issued common stock for cash = $77,000
Paid cash dividend = $14,000.
Cash paid to settle a notes payable = $105,000
Cash paid to acquire its treasury stock = $116,000
Net cash flows from financing activities:
= Common stock issuance - Cash dividends paid - Payment of note payable - Purchase of treasury stock
= $77,000 - $14,000 - $105,000 - $116,000
= (-$158,000)
Lindor and Sons purchased an available-for-sale investment for $800,000. The fair value of that investment is $750,000 at the end of the current fiscal year. The company’s total net income for the year is approximately $2,500,000.
Based on this information, which of the following statements is accurate?
a. The company will recognize an unrealized holding loss.
b. The company will need to report their investment at an amortized cost.
c. The company will be unable to include the unrealized gain or loss in their comprehensive income.
d. The company will not recognize their dividends as revenue.
Answer:
a. The company will recognize an unrealized holding loss.
Explanation:
An unrealised loss is defined as a decline in an asset theta is held by a business. The asset can be held until it's value appreciates to cancel out the unrealised loss. If such an asset is sold, it will now be a realised loss.
The unrealized loss of (800,000-750,000= $50,000) will be recorded in the accumulated other comprehensive income account under the equity section of the balance sheet.
Unrealised loss is also called paper loss because the loss is only recorded on paper and is not yet realised.
The company will recognize an unrealized holding loss because the value of the investment fell below its purchase price. This unrealized loss is accounted for in the income statement and affects the net income of the company.
Explanation:Based on the information given, Lindor and Sons purchased an available-for-sale investment for $800,000 but by the end of the fiscal year the investment's fair value dropped to $750,000. As a result, the accurate statement would be 'a. The company will recognize an unrealized holding loss'.
An unrealized holding loss occurs when a company has an investment that decreases in value but is not yet sold. In this case, all unrealized losses need to be recognized in the income statement, which will indirectly reduce the company's net income.
It's important to note that this is different from an amortized cost, which is used for loans and held-to-maturity investments, not for available-for-sale investments. Also, unrealized gain or loss can be included in comprehensive income according to the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).

A stock has a beta of 1.24, the expected return on the market is 11.8 percent, and the risk-free rate is 4.55 percent. What must the expected return on this stock be? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Expected return %
Answer:
The expected return on this stock must be 13.54%
Explanation:
We use the Capital asset pricing model to calculate the expected return on the stock.
ERi = Rf +βi (ERm − Rf )
Where,
ERi = Expected return on investment
Rf = Risk-free rate = 4.55%
βi = Beta of the investment = 1.24
ERm = Expected return on the market = 11.8%
ERi = Rf +βi (ERm − Rf )
ERi = 4.55 + 1.24 ( 11.8% - 4.55% )
ERi = 13.54%
5. Describe a firm you think has been highly innovative. Which of the four types of innovation—radical, incremental, disruptive, or architectural—did it use? Did the firm use different types over time?
Answer:
Apple is the most innovative brand on the face of this earth. It has created iPhone, Mac-book, iPod, iTunes etc. Steve Jobs made it one of the most innovative brand in the world, when he was alive Apple was using disruptive innovation, they were creating totally new and innovative products which the world had never seen before. The way they changed the cell phone industry was simply phenomenal. They came up with iPhone when there was no concept of doing all of your computing works on the phone. But after Steve Jobs, company has almost lost its innovative charm, they could not come up with a disruptive innovation, they have just kept on changing the size, price and features of their iPhone which means they are involved in incremental innovation since after the death of Steve Jobs.
Apple Inc has demonstrated radical innovation with the creation of the first iPhone, and disruptive innovation with the introduction of the Apple Store.
Over time, Apple also used incremental and architectural innovations to maintain a balance of exploring and exploiting ideas.
Explanation:One firm that I believe demonstrates high levels of innovation is Apple Inc. Over the years, Apple has exemplified multiple types of innovation, but notably, they have made significant strides through radical and disruptive innovation.
Radical innovation was evident in the creation of the first iPhone in 2007. This completely transformed the notion of cell phones and made a significant leap in technological progress.
The iPhone integrated an internet communicator, a mobile phone, and a music player into one device, something unprecedented at the time.
Disruptive innovation was observed when Apple introduced the Apple Store.
This step disrupted the traditional software distribution channels and enabled developers to directly distribute their applications to users.
Consumers benefited from a variety of high-quality applications, altering market dynamics.
Over time, Apple has also used incremental and architectural innovations, ensuring a balance between exploring new ideas and exploiting existing ones.

What is the benefit of "mixing and matching" financial institutions and their services?
Answer and explanation:
"Mixing and Matching" financial institutions are those that take their customers' money and link different investment vehicles with the customer's expectations, diversifying risk compared to having the money in only one asset. The benefit of using financial institutions as middlemen relies on the cost of accessing the securities since they are much lower for individual investors. Besides, customers receive an assessment from professionals on what to invest in but sometimes this implies paying an additional fee.

Paradise, Inc., has identified an investment project with the following cash flows. Year Cash Flow 1 $625 2 875 3 1,150 4 1,250 Required: (a) If the discount rate is 11 percent, what is the future value of these cash flows in year 4? (b) What is the future value at a discount rate of 18 percent? (c) What is the future value at discount rate of 30 percent?
Answer:
(a) If the discount rate is 11 percent, what is the future value of these cash flows in year 4?
To solve this problem, we must find the FV of each cash flow and add them.
To find the FV of a lump sum, we use:
FV = PV(1 + r)^t
FV@11% = $625(1.11)^3 + $875(1.11)^2+ $1,150(1.11) + $1,250 = $4459
(b) What is the future value at a discount rate of 18 percent?
FV = PV(1 + r)^t
FV@18% = $625(1.18)^3+ $875(1.18)^2+ $1,150(1.18) + $1,250 = $4852
(c) What is the future value at discount rate of 30 percent?
FV = PV(1 + r)^t
FV@30% = $625(1.30)^3+ $875(1.30)^2+ $1,150(1.30) + $1,250 = $5597
The predetermined overhead rate is $50 per machine-hour, under-applied overhead is $5,000, and the actual amount of machine-hours is 2,000. What is the actual amount of total manufacturing overhead incurred during the period?
Solution:
Actual machine hours = 2,000 machine hours
Per-determined overhead rate = $50 per machine hour
Applied manufacturing overhead = Actual machine hour multiply with Predetermined overhead rate
= $50 multiply with 2,000 machine hours = $100,000
Underapplied overhead = $5,000
Thus, in order to calculate manufacturing overhead cost that has been incurred, the following costs will be added
Actual manufacturing overhead incurred = Applied manufacturing overhead + Underapplied overhead = $100,000 + $5,000 = $105,000
Hence, Answer is A.$105,000
Nelson's Landscaping has 1,200 bonds outstanding that are selling for $990 each. The company also has 2,500 shares of preferred stock at a market price of $28 a share. The common stock is priced at $37 a share and there are 28,000 shares outstanding. What is the weight of the common stock as it relates to the firm's weighted average cost of capital?
Answer:
Weight of the common stock = 45%
Explanation:
WACC is the average cost of a company long-term sources of finance. Each source is weighted according to the proportion of its market value to the total market value of the pool of funds.
To calculate the weighted of the common stock , we will follow the steps
below:
Step 1
Calculate the total market value of all the sources of fund
Market value of common stock
Bonds = $990 × 1,200 = $ 1,188,000
Preferred Stock = $28 × 2500 =$70,000
Common stock = $37 × 28,000 =$1,036,000
Total market value = 1,188,000+ 70,000 + 1,036,000
$2,294,000.00
Step 2
Calculate the weight of common stock
Weight of the common stock = ($1,036,000/ $2,294,000.00 ) × 100
= 45%
Weight of the common stock = 45%
When managers employ a profile schema of the characteristics of good, poor, and outstanding employees they are using a(n) ________ schema to compare present employees and job candidates. A. role-based B. person-based C. events-based D. self-based
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "B": person-based.
Explanation:
Schemas are mental constructions that help understanding or classifying certain topics easily. Person-based schemas, then, allow individuals to qualify people. The problem with schemas is that they are limited. Using schemas could represent avoiding information that could be useful to understand one person. Person schemas could include information such as appearance, personality or behavior.
What is an example of a situation in which the cost of capacity is substantially more than the cost of waiting? What would the waiting line look like in that situation?
Answer:
Cost of Capacity, Cost of Waiting and Waiting Lines which are concepts indicated in the question speaks to Queuing Theory under Operations Management.
The goal of studying this theory simply relates to Optimizing Efficiency.
Let's define the concepts highlighted in the question.
Capacity cost is defined as the total amount of expenses incurred by an organization to provide for or increase its ability to conduct business operations. It can also be referred to as the cost of service.
Cost of Waiting on the hand within the context indicated above is how much it costs a business to keep customers waiting.
The more customers leave without making a purchase or do not return because of frustrating wait times, the higher the waiting cost.
Waiting Line - This is simply a line of people waiting to be attended to, or access a product or service. It could also refer to Assembly Line. Or simply, a queue.
Explanation:
Cost of Waiting plus Cost of Service equals Total Cost.
An optimized situation is where the total cost is at it's lowest. Reducing capacity may reduce costs of service, but cause an upward spike loss of sales due to lost customers.
Excessive capacity, on the other hand, will reduce the loss of sales due to the loss of customers but lead to an increase in operating costs.
To answer the questions, an example of a situation in which the cost of capacity is substantially more than the cost of waiting is given below:
a) If One ATM can serve 3 customer in 2 Minutes, and ATM users arrive the ATM Gallery at the rate of 3 customers every 4 minutes, then haveing 5 ATM Machines installed at such a location would translate to higher cost of capacity in relation to cost of waiting (Assuming that the cost of purchasing the machines and profit accruable from the ATM use charges are not factors under consideration)
b) the waiting line in such a condition would be substantially smaller than an optimised gallery or close to zero

An excerpt from the Fourth Amendment reads: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." Suspecting a Mr. Flammer of running an illegal gambling and loan sharking operation, the FBI obtained a federal search warrant. The FBI entered the residence of Mr. Flammer and searched through various records. Suspecting most of the records were contained on a personal computer, the FBI began attempting to access the computer’s various files. Unable to access the needed files because of password barriers, the FBI installed a system known as a key logger system (KLS). This system was able to determine the keystrokes made on a computer and thus allowed the FBI to discover the password needed to enter the incriminating files. The discovery led to the gathering of evidence linking Mr. Flammer to the suspected illegal operation Question: Were Mr. Flammer’s Fourth Amendment rights violated?
Answer:
No, his Fourth Amendment rights were not violated because the Amendment specifies that "upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation" a person's home, personal property, and documents can be searched and seized by the legal authorities.
In this case, the FBI obtained a federal search warrant before entering Mr. Flammer's house. This federal search warrant is a valid legal document that allowed the FBI officials to seek information in his house, and on his computer. The FBI officials acted in a way that is coherent with the U.S. Constitution.
After preparing and posting the closing entries for revenues and expenses, the income summary account has a debit balance of $36,000. The entry to close the income summary account will be: Multiple Choice Credit Retained earnings $36,000; debit Dividends $36,000. Debit Income Summary $36,000; credit Dividends $36,000. Debit Retained earnings $36,000; credit Income Summary $36,000. Debit Dividends $36,000; credit Income Summary $36,000. Debit Income Summary $36,000; credit Retained earnings $36,000.
Answer:
Debit Retained earnings $36,000; credit Income Summary $36,000
Explanation:
The income statement has its last line as the net income/loss for the period. The income summary account is closed into the retained earnings.
The expense in the income statement is closed by crediting the account and debiting the income summary. For revenue, the account is debited and the income summary is credited.
Hence where the income summary account has a debit balance of $36,000, the entries to close it will be Debit Retained earnings $36,000; credit Income Summary $36,000
Baden Company has gathered the following information. Units in beginning work in process 0 Units started into production 37,700 Units in ending work in process 8,700 Percent complete in ending work in process: Conversion costs 40 % Materials 100 % Costs incurred: Direct materials $81,055 Direct labor $64,400 Overhead $102,872 Compute equivalent units of production for materials and for conversion costs.
Final answer:
To compute the equivalent units of production for materials and conversion costs, consider the units started into production and the units in ending work in process.
Explanation:
To compute the equivalent units of production for materials and conversion costs, we need to consider the units started into production and the units in ending work in process.
For materials, the equivalent units of production would be the sum of units started into production and the percentage of completion of the units in ending work in process multiplied by the number of units in ending work in process.
For conversion costs, the equivalent units of production would be the same as the equivalent units of production for materials.
Hughes Company manufactures harmonicas which it sells for $ 23 each. Variable costs for each unit are $ 10 and total fixed costs are $ 7 comma 900. How many units must be sold to earn income of $ 2 comma 500?
Answer:
800 units
Explanation:
The net income earned is the difference between the total sales and the total cost. The total cost is the sum of the fixed and variable cost. The sales and variable cost are dependent on the level of activities or number of units produced and sold.
The difference between the sales and variable cost gives the contribution margin.
In light of the above,
let the number of units to be sold to achieve targeted income be x
Total sales = $23x
Total variable cost = 10x
2,500 = 23x - 10x - 7,900
13x = 7900 + 2500
13x = 10,400
x = 800 units
