Answer and Explanation:
In order to determine the present value we should divide the future value cash flow by (1 + rate of interest)^number of years
And, the value of the today should be
= $42,000 ÷ (1 + 0.07)^17
= $13,296
Hence, the same should be considered and relevant

True or False: The government cannot solve the problem caused by people like Dmitri. True False True or False: The private market can solve this problem by broadcasting Downton Abbey on cable TV, since then the good would be excludable and thus no longer a public good. True False
Suppose the downward sloping labor demand curve shifts rightward in a labor market with a single employer (monopsony). What happens to the equilibrium wage and level of employment in the market
Answer:
Equilibrium wage increaseLevel of employment increaseExplanation:
A shift rightward in the labor market of a single employer would imply that the employer wants more labor. They will therefore increase the wages that they are paying their labor to entice more labor and the level of employment in the industry will increase as the employer hires more people.
Graphically speaking, when the labor demand curve shifts right, it will intersect with the labor supply curve at a higher equilibrium wage. The quantity of labor will also increase as it goes to a new equilibrium point.
Valve is a company that makes world-class computer games such as Half-life, Counter-Strike, Dota 2, Team Fortress and creates world-leading game distributing platform known as Steam. This organization has been working boss-free which translates into “everyone is equal and managers don't exist” for years and still performs excellently on the digital game market. Here are some insights from its employees:
- “We're free to choose to work on whatever we think is interesting.”
- “We form into teams based on need to complete a feature or complete a game, and then we disperse into new teams.”
- “People ask you questions about what you are working on. And the response is not to get defensive but to have that conversation and make sure that we're all invested in each other.”
- “I think the fact that we're not managed by people and we're not managing people and you're able to formulate your own ideas and work with whoever it is to come up with a project or feature - that's empowering”
- “It's a community of respect and the best idea wins no matter who it comes from, whether they've been at Valve for a year or founded Valve.”
Use the knowledge you have earned to identify the type of organizational design of Valve. Explain how Departmentalization, Chain of command, Span of control and Formalization works in this organization
Answer:
Valve has a flat organizational structure. As a result, the following features of a hierarchical organization are turned upside down:
1. Departmentalization: Valve is not organized in departments but has dispersed teams that are freely formed based on need. Employees are free to choose the jobs that they do and the teams that they join based on their personal interests.
2. Chain of command: Valve lacks the strict chain of command that is visible in hierarchical organizations where instructions are issued from the top and reports are sent from the lower cadre to the upper echelon. Therefore, employees are not managed by others.
3. Span of control: Valve is recognized as a community of respect where the best idea wins without the observance of seniority.
4. Formalization: The working culture is informal and casual. This has enabled people at Valve to be invested in each other. Questions are freely asked to solicit and share ideas. There is self-discipline.
Explanation:
Valve, owned by CEO Gabe Newell, has created a model flat organization where managers are not prominent. There are no formal positions and no centralized plans. Even the CEO does not interfere in the daily management of the organization. Thus, decision-making is improved, and there is a high sense of personal responsibility by employees.
. Problems and Applications Q4 Many observers believe that the levels of pollution in our society are too high. True or False: If society wishes to reduce overall pollution by a certain amount, it is efficient to have firms with highest profit bearing the largest burden of reducing pollution and firms with lowest profit bearing the least burden. True False Why are command-and-control approaches generally unable to target the firms that should undertake bigger reductions
Answer:
If society wishes to reduce overall pollution by a certain amount, it is efficient to have firms with highest profit bearing the largest burden of reducing pollution and firms with lowest profit bearing the least burden. FALSE.
If society wishes to reduce pollution then the companies that are more efficient at reducing pollution should be the ones that reduce more. In other words, the companies that incur less cost when reducing pollution should reduce more pollution and those that incur more cost should reduce less.
Why are command-and-control approaches generally unable to target the firms that should undertake bigger reductions?
b. Command-and-control approaches often rely on uniform reductions among firms.
c. There is no incentive to reduce pollution beyond the mandated amount.
Command and control approaches usually use uniform reductions across firms so the firms that need to reduce more pollution are not targeted and end up reducing the same amount of pollution as others.
This problem can be surmounted by offering incentives to the companies that should reduce more pollution so that they reduce more than they are meant to but since no incentives are offered, these companies simply reduce what they are told to reduce and nothing more.
MC Qu. 123 The ending inventory of finished... The ending inventory of finished goods has a total cost of $9,800 and consists of 700 units. If the overhead applied to these goods is $3,726, and the overhead rate is 81% of direct labor, how much direct materials cost was incurred in producing these units
Answer:
$5,200
Explanation:
Given the above information,
Direct labor = $3,726 / 0.81 = $4,600
But,
Total cost = Direct material + Direct labor + Overhead
Fixing the values, we'll have
$9,800 = Direct materials + $4,600 + $3,726
Direct materials = $9,800 - $4,600
Direct materials = $5,200
Therefore $5,200 raw materials cost was incurred in producing these units.

Spotify just paid a cash dividend of $1 per share. Investors require a 16% return from investments such as this. If the dividend is expected to grow at a steady 6 percent per year, what is the current value of the stock
Answer:
$10.60
Explanation:
according to the constant dividend growth model
price = d1 / (r - g)
d1 = next dividend to be paid
r = cost of equity
g = growth rate
1(1.06) / 0.16 - 0.06
1.06/0.10 = 10.60

Forte Co., had 5,900 units of work in process on April 1 that were 70% complete. During April, 18,000 units were started and as of April 30, 5,400 units that were 40% complete remained in production. How many units were completed during April
Answer:
18,500 units
Explanation:
We simply use the physical units to determine the units completed
Units completed = Units in opening inventory + units started - units in ending inventory
therefore,
Units completed = 5,900 + 18,000 - 5,400 = 18,500
therefore,
Units completed during April amount to 18,500
Find the EAR in each of the following cases (Use 365 days a year. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.): 9%
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the effective annual rate in each of the following cases are
1.
Effective annual rate = [(1+annual percentage rate ÷ period)^period]- 1
= (1 +0 .09 ÷ 4)^4 - 1
= 9.31%
2.
Effective annual rate = [(1+annual percentage rate ÷ period)^period]- 1
= (1 + 0.16 ÷ 12)^12-1
= 17.23%
3.
Effective annual rate = [(1+annual percentage rate ÷ period)^period]- 1
= (1 + 0.12 ÷ 365)^365-1
= 12.75%
4 .
Effective annual rate = [(e)^Annual percentage rate]-1
e=2.71828
So,
=[(2.71828)^0.11]-1
= 11.63%
A nonprofit organization aids the unemployed by supplementing their incomes by $5,000 annually, while they seek new employment skills. The organization has fixed costs of $200,000 and the budgeted appropriation for the year totals $700,000. How many individuals can receive financial assistance this year
Answer:
100
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How many individuals can receive financial assistance this year
Using this formula
Numbers of individuals=Total budgeted appropriation-Fixed costs/Incomes
Let plug in the formula
Numbers of individuals=700,000-200,000/5000
Numbers of individuals=500,000/5000
Numbers of individuals=100
Therefore How many individuals can receive financial assistance this year will be 100

On December 1, 20X4, Line Corp. received a donation of 2,000 shares of its $5 par value common stock from a stockholder. On that date, the stock's market value was $35 per share. The stock was originally issued for $25 per share. By what amount would this donation cause total stockholders' equity to decrease
Answer:
$0
Explanation:
The shares that are donated is treated as the treasury shares. The treasury stock and the gain or the revneue account rise the stock market value. If there is an increase in the treasury stock so it reduced the stockholder equity but on the other hand the gain or revenue increase the owner equity
So overall there is no net effect
hence, the amount should be $0
On the product continuum, a system falls in the area of low volume and low standardization, but it is NOT at the extreme left (lowest) point. Based on this, which process is recommended for producing the system
Answer: Batch
Explanation:
Batch processing refers to the method whereby high-volume, and repetitive data jobs are being run. The batch method enables the users to be able to process data when there's availability of computing resources and there's minimal user interaction.
From the question, since the system falls in the area of low volume and low standardization, but isn't at the extreme left (lowest) point, then the batch processing is recommended.
When technology is progressing rapidly, firms are more likely to Group of answer choices commit themselves to fixed assets. focus on developing the necessary skills in-house. use linkages with other specialized firms to access resources they do not possess. focus on broadening their capabilities.
Answer: use linkages with other specialized firms to access resources they do not possess.
Explanation:
When technology progresses, firms can benefit by having access to better processes that they may not have by reaching out to other firms that are able to produce those resources.
They will then use the acquired resources to become even more efficient in their own production and produce resources that other companies will then seek which would have the effect of moving the entire economy forward.
Goose Corporation, a C corporation, incurs a net capital loss of $12,000 for 2020. It also has ordinary income of $10,000 in 2020. Goose had net capital gains of $2,500 in 2016 and $5,000 in 2019.
a. Determine the amount, if any, of the net capital loss of $12,000 that is deductible in 2020.
b. Determine the amount, if any, of the net capital loss of $12,000 that is carried forward to 2017.
Answer:
a. The amount of the net capital loss of $12,000 that is deductible in 2020 is zero.
b. The amount of the net capital loss of $12,000 that is carried forward to 2021 is $7,000.
Explanation:
Sections 1211 and 1212 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) address capital losses of corporations and declare that:
Corporation capital losses are not allowed to be deducted from ordinary income.For that year, corporations can only deduct capital losses up to the amount of capital profits from other assets.Any capital losses that haven't been deducted because there aren't any more capital gains can be carried back three years and forward five years.As a result of the foregoing, we have:
a. Determine the amount, if any, of the net capital loss of $12,000 that is deductible in 2020.
Because there are no capital gains in 2020, no portion of the $12,000 net capital loss is deductible in 2020. It cannot be deducted from ordinary income in 2020.
Therefore, the amount of the net capital loss of $12,000 that is deductible in 2020 is zero.
b. Determine the amount, if any, of the net capital loss of $12,000 that is carried forward to 2017.
Note: This question b is not correct because the 2017 is used instead of 2021 as the year. It therefore correctly stated before answering the question as follows:
Determine the amount, if any, of the net capital loss of $12,000 that is carried forward to 2021.
The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:
Because businesses can carry back three years and forward five years, the amount to carry forward to 2021 will be the difference of $12,000 in capital losses for 2020 and $5,000 in capital gains for 2019, which is $7,000 (i.e. $12,000 - $5,000 = $7,000).
Therefore, the amount of the net capital loss of $12,000 that is carried forward to 2021 is $7,000.

Paula Brock wants to purchase a four-year-old V6 sedan 4-door, which is advertised at $11,925. The car has no air-conditioning and no power seats. It has been driven 49,000 miles. The used-vehicle guide does not indicate any adjustment for this car’s mileage. What is the average retail price for this vehicle?
Answer: $10975
Explanation:
Your question isn't complete as I got more information online.
With regards to the question, since the vehicle has no air-conditioning and no power seats, we are going to deduct their value from the amount that the vehicle is being advertised and thus will be:
Cost of vehicle = $11925
Less: No air conditioning = $800
Less: No power seats = $150
Average retail price = $10975
The average retail price for this vehicle is $10975.
Under normal conditions (60% probability), Financing Plan A will produce a $30,000 higher return than Plan B. Under tight money conditions (40% probability), Plan A will produce $40,000 less than Plan B. What is the expected value of return
Answer:
the expected value of return is $2,000
Explanation:
The computation of the expected value of return is shown below:
= Given percentage of amount + (given percentage of amount)
= 60% of $30,000 + (40% of -$40,000)
= $18,000 - $16,000
= $2,000
hence, the expected value of return is $2,000
The same should be considered and relevant
Presented below are incomplete manufacturing cost data.
Determine the missing amounts for three different situations.
Direct Materials Used Direct Labor Used Factory Overhead Total Manufacturing Costs
(1) $42,700 $64,200 $52,500 $enter a dollar amount
(2) $enter a dollar amount $78,100 $144,000 $298,000
(3) $57,400 $enter a dollar amount $113,000 $314,000
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the missing amount is as follows:
As we know that
The total manufacturing cost = Direct Materials Used + Direct Labor Used + Factory Overhead
So,
(1)
= $42,700 + $64,200 + $52500
= $159,400
(2)
= $298,000 - $78,100 - $144,000
= $75,900
(3)
= $314,000 - $57,400 - $113,000
= $143,600

Production equipment costing $500,000 has been purchased by a contract manufacturing company to meet the specific needs of a customer (Note: this equipment qualified for a 10% investment tax credit (ITC) at the time of purchase). The contracting award is for a 4-year contract with the possibility of extending the contract for another 4 years. The company plans to use MACRS to depreciate this equipment as a 7-year class property for tax purposes. The income tax rate for the company is 40%, and it expects to have an after-tax rate of return (MARR) of 12% for all its investments. The equipment has generated an annual income of $150,000 for the company for the first four years, however the customer decided not to renew the contract after 4 years. Consequently, the company has decided to sell the equipment for $200,000 at the end of 4 years.
Required:
Use the short-cut method to determine if the company has reached their rate of return (IRR) goal on this contract and investment.
Answer:
Short-cut IRR = 18.75%
The company has not reached their rate of return goal on this contract and investment.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of production equipment = $500,000
Qualified investment tax credit (ITC) = 10% = $50,000 ($500,000 * 10%)
Contract period = 4 years with 4 years extension on renewal
Income tax rate for the company = 40%
Expected after-tax rate of return = 12%
Expected before-tax rate of return = 30% (12%/40%)
Annual income generated by the equipment = $150,000 for 4 years
Salvage value at the end of 4 years = $200,000
Short-cut IRR = 100%, divided by the number of years * about 75-80%
= 100%/4 * 75%
= 18.75%
For a project being considered by a city, the following cost data is available. (a) Determine both the modified and conventional B/C ratios and offer a recommendation, and (b) if you are concerned because the data is not capturing the effects of Estimated annual disbenefits, how large would these have to be in order for you to change your recommendation (if at all) using the conventional B/C ratio
The question is incomplete. The complete question is :
For a project being considered by a city, the following cost data is available. (a) Determine both the modified and conventional B/C ratios and offer a recommendation, and (b) if you are concerned because the data is not capturing the effects of Estimated annual disbenefits, how large would these have to be in order for you to change your recommendation (if at all) using the conventional B/C ratio?
Initial cost = $10,000,000
O & M cost / year = $450,000
Estimated annual benefits = $850,000
Life = 25 Years
Salvage value = $1 million
MARR = 6%
Solution :
Given :
Initial cost = $10,000,000
Salvage, S = $1,000,000
O and M Cost/year = AOM = $450,000
Benefit per year, AWB = $ 850,000
Equivalent initial cost per year = C
Equivalent salvage per year = S x (A/F, 0.06, 25) = 1,000,000 x (A/F, 0.06, 25)
Let us calculate the interest factors,
[tex]$(A/P,i,n)=\frac{i}{1-\frac{1}{(1+i)^n}}$[/tex]
[tex]$(A/P,0.06,25)=\frac{0.06}{1-\frac{1}{(1+0.06)^{25}}}=0.078226718$[/tex]
[tex]$(A/P,i,n)= \frac{i}{(1+i)^n-1}[/tex]
[tex]$(A/P,0.06, 25)= \frac{0.06}{(1+0.06)^{25}-1} = 0.018226718[/tex]
The equivalent initial cost per year = AWC = 10000000 x 0.078226718 = $ 782267.18
Equivalent salvage per year, AWS = 1,000,000 x 0.018226718 = $ 18226.72
Conventional B-C ratio = AWB/(AWC-AWS+AOM)
= 850000/(782267.18-18226.72+450000)
= 0.7001
Modified B-C ratio = (AWB-AOM)/(AWC-AWS)
= (850000-450000)/(782267.18-18226.72)
= 0.5235
In this case. both the conventional B-C ratio and modified B-C ratio are less than 1, the project is not acceptable.
The Riley Company has deposited $3,500 in checks received from customers. It has written $1,400 in checks to its suppliers. The initial bank and book balance was $600. If $1,600 of its customers' checks have cleared, but only $600 of its own, calculate its float
Answer:
$1,100
Explanation:
Calculation to determine its float
First step is to calculate the Bank balance
Bank balance = $600 + $1.600 - $600
Bank balance= $1,600
Second step is to calculate the Book balance
Book balance = $600 + $3,500 - $1,400
Book balance= $2,700
Now let calculate the Float using this formula
Float=Book balance -Bank balance
Let plug in the formula
Float=$2,700-$1,600
Float = $1,100
Therefore the float is $1,100
The federal unemployment tax is levied on a.employers and is deducted from employees' earnings. b.employees and employers. c.employers and is not deducted from employees' earnings. d.employees and is deducted from customer payments.
Answer:
c. employers and is not deducted from employees' earnings.
Explanation:
Taxation can be defined as the involuntary or compulsory fees levied on individuals or business entities by the government to generate revenues used for funding public institutions and activities.
Unemployment rate refers to the percentage of the total labor force in an economy, who are unemployed but seeking to be gainfully employed.
The federal unemployment tax act (FUTA) is reported on Form 940 of the internal revenue service (IRS). It's a federal payroll tax imposed on employers to provide unemployment compensation to employees who have lost their jobs in states.
Basically, the federal unemployment tax act (FUTA) is levied on employers alone i.e it's being paid by the employers only.
This ultimately implies that, the federal unemployment tax is levied on employers and is not deducted from employees' earnings.

A company purchased a new delivery van at a cost of $51,000 on July 1. The delivery van is estimated to have a useful life of 6 years and a salvage value of $3,900. The company uses the straight-line method of depreciation. How much depreciation expense will be recorded for the van during the first year ended December 31
Answer:
Annual depreciation (partial)= $3,925
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the annual depreciation:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (51,000 - 3,900) / 6
Annual depreciation= $7,850
Now, the depreciation for 6 months:
Annual depreciation (partial)= (7,850/12)*6
Annual depreciation (partial)= $3,925
