Answer:
A. long-term ability to generate sufficient cash to satisfy plant capacity needs, fuel growth, and to repay debt when due.
Explanation:
Solvency is defined as the long-term ability of a business the generate enough cash flow that will allow it to continue its operations and also to pay of its debt when due.
It is used as a measure of the financial health of the business.
A business with good solvency has a high probability of remaining in operation for the foreseeable future.
Division A offers its product to outside markets for $30. It incurs variable costs of $11 per unit and fixed costs of $75,000 per month based on monthly production of 4,000 units. Division B can acquire the product from an alternate supplier for $31 per unit or from Division A for $30 plus $2 per unit in transportation costs in addition to the transfer price charged by Division A.Required:a. What are the costs and benefits of the alternatives available to Division A and Division B with respect to the transfer of Division A's product? Assume that Division A can market all that it can produce.b. How would your answer change if Division A had idle capacity sufficient to cover all of Division B's needs?
Answer:
a. See part a below for the analysis.
b. We have:
1. Division A total cost = $1,131,000
2. Division A total profit or benefit = $1,509,000
3. Division B total cost = $1,320,000
4. Division A total profit or benefit = $44,000
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of calculation of costs and benefits of options available to Divisions A and B.
a. What are the costs and benefits of the alternatives available to Division A and Division B with respect to the transfer of Division A's product? Assume that Division A can market all that it can produce.
Under this condition, each analysis is based on the condition that either Division A or Division B will pay for the transportation cost.
From part a the attached excel file, we have:
1. Division A will incur a total cost of of $559,000 and gets a profit or benefit of $761,000 if it sells to the outside market.
2. Division A will incur a total cost of of $647,000 and gets a profit or benefit of $673,000 if it sells to Division B.
3. Division B will incur a total cost of $1,408,000 if it buys from Division A.
4. Division B will incur a total cost of $1,364,000 if it buys alternate supplier. It thereby saves the transportation cost of $88,000 of buying from A as a benefit.
b. How would your answer change if Division A had idle capacity sufficient to cover all of Division B's needs?
Under this condition, it is assumed that Division A will pay for the transportation cost. Therefore, Division A will sell to both the outside market and Division B.
From part b of the attached excel file, we will have the following based on this condition:
1. Division A total cost = Total cost of selling to the outside market + Total cost of selling to Division B = $559,000 + $572,000 = $1,131,000
2. Division A profit or benefit cost = Total profit or benefits of selling to the outside market + Total profit or benefits of selling to Division B = $761,000 + $748,000 = $1,509,000
3. Division B will incur a total cost of $1,320,000 by buying from Division A. It thereby saves $44,000 (i.e. $1,364,000 - $1,320,000 = $44,000) as a benefit for not buying from alternate supplier.
A policy maker argues that congestion on the roads can be solved by private ownership of the roads. He argues that if the roads were privately owned, then the externality of congestion would be fully internalized and solved by the market. Discuss this by first explaining the externality problem that leads to congestion, and then explain whether the private market would deliver the efficient level of roads.
Answer:
Externalities can be defined as those activities that incurs cost on another party.
Road congestion creates externalities such as increased time for travel, more pollution in a city, more likelihood of accidents, more stress for road users.
This externaliity is caused because road users think of the private benefits that they can get from using the road but they do not take the social cost into account. We have lots of drivers on the road and non of these drivers takes cognizance of the cost that other drivers get because of this.
If road are private, congestion is going to fall and there would be excludability. But this is a public good, turning it to a private good would cause issues. Private markets benefits out is positive externalities.
The term "externality" refers to elements and situations that occur off-road and cause congestion.
In this regard, we can say that:
The externality of congestion is created by the lack of urban infrastructure, the excess of vehicles on the streets, the lack of traffic inspection, and the lack of road maintenance.All of this allows for an accumulation of vehicles on urban roads, generating congestion, which affects the city in an imposing way.These problems have been treated as public order problems as roads are a public asset managed by the government. Many people believe that government management is the main problem and that if the roads were managed by private companies, these problems would be eliminated.
Although we can recognize that many of these externalities would be solved by private companies, treating the use of roads as a private asset would not solve the problem of congestion, as it would create other externalities, especially about the freedom to use roads.
With this, we can conclude that the externality of congestion would not be reduced with the use of private companies, but maintained with other factors.

Smith & Sons uses the allowance method of handling its credit losses. It estimates credit losses at two percent of credit sales, which were $2,000,000 during the year. On December 31, the Accounts Receivable balance was $300,000 and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts had a credit balance of $21,400 before adjustments.
Show how accounts receivable and the allowance for doubltful accounts would appear in the December 31 Balance Sheet.
Answer:
$238,600
Explanation:
Firstly, we need to compute the amount of bad debt
= Credit sale × Bad debt expense
= $2,000,000 × 2%
= $40,000
The adjusted balance of allowance will be the addition of unadjusted balance of allowance account and the bad debt expense
= $21,400 + $40,000
= $61,400
The , the balance will be :
Accounts receivables = $300,000
Less: Allowance for doubtful account = ($61,400)
Net realizable value of account receivable = $238,600

Dawson Toys, Ltd., produces a toy called the Maze. The company has recently established a standard cost system to help control costs and has established the following standards for the Maze toy:Direct materials: 6 microns per toy at $1.50 per micron Direct labor: 1.3 hours per toy at $21 per hourDuring July, the company produced 3,000 Maze toys. Production data for the month on the toy follow:Direct materials: 25,000 microns were purchased at a cost of $1.48 per micron. 5,000 of these microns were still in inventory at the end of the month.Direct labor: 4,000 direct labor-hours were worked at a cost of $88,000.Required: 1. Compute the following variances for July:a. The materials price and quantity variances.b. The labor rate and efficiency variances.
Answer:
1. a. The materials price and quantity variances
Material price variance: Standard cost per micron is $1.50 and actual cost per micron is $1.48. So, price variance is 1.48 - 1.5 = $(0.02) per micron
Quantity variance: Based on standard bill of material, Dawson Toys need 3,000 x 6 = 18,000 microns to produce 3,000 Maze toys. Actual consumption volume is 25,000 - 5,000 = 20,000 microns. So, quantity variance is 20,000 - 18,000 = 2,000 microns.
1. b. The labor rate and efficiency variances
Actual labor rate = Actual labor cost / Actual hour = 88,000/4,000 = $22 per hour.
Efficiency variance = Actual labor rate - Standard labor rate = 22 - 21 = $1 per hour.
2. Prepare a brief explanation of the possible causes of each variance.
Direct material cost variance: Total actual material cost is 20,000 x 1.48 = $29,600, higher than standard material cost of 18,000 x 1.5 = $27,000. This is mainly due to higher production waste as compared to standards.
Direct labor cost variance: Total actual labor cost is $88,000, higher than standard labor cost of 4,000 x 21 = $84,000. This is mainly due to lower labor rate per hour than expected.

Assume you are the internal controls expert for your company. Your boss has read about Madoff’s Ponzi scheme described in our textbook. Your boss is now worried that your own company, which invests a significant amount of retirement funds for its employees, could fall victim to a similar scheme. He has just sent you a memo asking: "Which specific internal controls should our company adopt to avoid falling for a scheme like this?" Respond with a memo to your boss detailing at least three internal controls that you would recommend implementing at your company, assuming none are in place right now, to minimize the risk of becoming the victim of an investment fraud. For each internal control you recommend provide: A detailed description of the policy or procedure to be implemented. An explanation of how specifically it would mitigate the risk of being defrauded. A description of any disadvantages the internal control may have. After submitting your own initial post, change hats! Now assume you are the boss; read your classmates recommendations and question/challenge them as an effective boss would.
Answer:
There are many measures a company can undertake to uplift the standards of internal controls, however few of those are enumerated as under -
1. Due Diligence - almost everyone would suggest it but the implementation differs from company to company. The term encompasses wide activities i.e. from improving quality of internal audit to upkeeping of financial records etc. Keeping a check on existing & old investment pattern would certainly help in analyzing the response of investments as per prevailing market condition. Disadvantages of the process include involvment of additional manpower and cost.
2. Choosing right Investment firms and/or Fund Manager - In the complex business market which prevails today, finding the right guy seems to be a difficult job. It is important that we carefully study not only the investment patterns and subsequent returns of the Investment firms / Fund Manager but also background, qualifications and previous legal records to arrive at suitable guy for suitable job. Sometimes we choose a skeptical but a honest guy, which may lead to sacrifice in short term gains but particulary in retirement funds with long term goals, security of funds assume priority.
3. Selecting the financial products - Today there are numerous financial products available in the market, many of them offer fancy returns but the goals of such financial products must be re-aligned to the goals of the company and its employees. For the company a decent return over long run with high degree of security is the objective when it comes to retirement funds. The financial product must have an appropriate mix of debt, equity and liquid funds and particularly the component of debt must increase with the age of an employee which will ensure security of funds by the time he attains superannuation. Disadvantage majorly includes loss of returns due to less investment in equity during the final stages of career.
Explanation:
Kayak Co. budgeted the following cash receipts (excluding cash receipts from loans received) and cash payments (excluding cash payments for loan principal and interest payments) for the first three months of next year. Cash Receipts Cash payments January $ 518,000 $ 461,500 February 403,000 346,500 March 467,000 523,000 According to a credit agreement with its bank, Kayak requires a minimum cash balance of $50,000 at each month-end. In return, the bank has agreed that the company can borrow up to $150,000 at a monthly interest rate of 1%, paid on the last day of each month. The interest is computed based on the beginning balance of the loan for the month. The company repays loan principal with any cash in excess of $50,000 on the last day of each month. The company has a cash balance of $50,000 and a loan balance of $100,000 at January 1. Prepare monthly cash budgets for January, February, and March. (Negative balances and Loan repayment amounts (if any) should be indicated with minus sign.)

In the attached excel file, the following calculations are made:
January loan repayment = January Preliminary cash balance - Minimum required cash balance = $105,500 - $50,000 = $55,500
March Additional loan = Minimum required cash balance - March Preliminary cash balance = $50,000 - $5,555 = $44,445
From the attached excel file, we have:
a. Ending Cash Balance:
January = 50,000
February = 61,555
March = 50,000
b. Loan Balance End of Month:
January = 44,500
February = $0
March = $44,445
The aggregate demand curve is downward sloping because production costs decline as real GDP increases. is upward sloping because a higher price level is necessary to make production profitable as production costs rise. shows the amount of expenditures required to induce the production of each possible level of real GDP. shows the amount of real GDP that will be demanded at each possible price level. g
Answer: shows the amount of real GDP that will be demanded at each possible price level.
Explanation:
The Aggregate Demand curve shows how much of real GDP is demanded at each possible price level which means that is shows the effect of the price level on real GDP.
If the price level rises, real GDP will decrease and if the price level falls, real GDP rises. This is why the aggregate demand curve is downward sloping, to reflect this inverse relationship between real GDP and price level.

h. Inventory management
i. Scheduling
j. Maintenance
Answer:
Lego
The two types of operations management decisions that were addressed by Lego's decision to end production in the US are:
d. Location strategy
g. Supply chain management
Explanation:
Lego decided to close its production facilities in the U.S.A because of the shifting customer demand. There has been a growing demand for electronics by children as against plastic toys. This is why it was able to contract out its production activities to a Singapore-based manufacturer with factories in Mexico and eastern Europe. So the company is strategically moving its production to countries that have high demand for its products and, at the same time, enjoying some tax benefits.

If business property or property held for the production of income is destroyed, the loss is equal to the adjusted basis of the property at the time of destruction.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
A) true
Explanation:
Business property could be of different types such as Real property(real estate) which comprises building as well as land. As regards to business real property could be property such as warehouses, offices as well as factories which is been owned by the business. If these properties are been held for income production, the loss can be attributed to adjusted basis during the destruction of the property. It should be noted If business property or property held for the production of income is completely destroyed, the loss is equal to the adjusted basis of the property at the time of destruction.
Identify which of the following statements is true. Group of answer choices All of the above are false. If a C corporation does not distribute its income to its shareholders annually, double taxation cannot occur. C corporation operating losses are deductible by the individual shareholders. Capital losses incurred by a C corporation can be used to offset the corporation's ordinary income.
Answer:
All of these are false
Explanation:
The c corporation is a corporation that is entered if the investors or shareholders are large. That is they exceed 100. The investors or shareholders pay taxes on dividends. They are subjected to what is called double taxation and are taxed separately from the owners. The obligations of the corporation are not personal to any individual and liability of the owners, workers or shareholders are limited
Nutcracker, Inc has forecast sales for the next three months as follows: July 4,000 units, August 6,000 units, September 7,500 units. Nutcracker's policy is to have an ending inventory of 40% of the next month's sales needs on hand. July 1 inventory is projected to be 1,500 units. Selling and administrative costs are budgeted to be $15,000 per month plus $5 per unit sold. What are budgeted selling and administrative expenses for July
Answer:
$35,000
Explanation:
Use the provided cost formula :
Selling and administrative expense = $15,000 + $5y
where,
y is the number of units sold
Therefore,
Selling and administrative expense = $15,000 + $5 x 4,000 units
= $35,000
plies manufacturing overhead at the rate of $40 per machine hour. Budgeted machine hours for the current period were anticipated to be 120,000; however, a lengthy strike resulted in actual machine hours being worked of only 90,000. Budgeted and actual manufacturing overhead figures for the year were $4,800,000 and $4,180,000, respectively. On the basis of this information, the company's year-end overhead was:
Answer:
$580,000 under applied.
Explanation:
The computation of the company's year end overhead is seen below;
The applied overhead is
= Predetermined overhead rate × actual machine hours
= $40 × 90,000
= $3,600,000
Then, the applied overhead
= $4,180,000 - $3,600,000
= $580,000
Hence, the ending overhead is $580,000 under applied
Davis Company uses a standard cost system for its production process and applies overhead based on direct labor hours. The following information is available for September when Davis produced 5,000 units: Standard: DLH per unit 3.00 Variable overhead per DLH $1.80 Fixed overhead per DLH $3.25 Budgeted variable overhead $27,250 Budgeted fixed overhead $49,500 Actual: Direct labor hours 16,000 Variable overhead $31,325 Fixed overhead $49,750 Refer to Davis Company. Using the four-variance approach, what is the variable overhead efficiency variance
Answer:
$1,800
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the variable overhead efficiency variance
Using this formula
VOH Efficiency Variance = Budgeted VOH based on Actual - Budgeted VOH/Standard Qty
Let plug in the formula
VOH Efficiency Variance = ((16,000 * $1.80/hr) - ((5,000 * 3.00hrs/unit * $1.80/hr))
VOH Efficiency Variance = $(28,800.00 - $27,000.00)
VOH Efficiency Variance = $1.800
Therefore Using the four-variance approach, what is the variable overhead efficiency variance will be $1,800
Hubert lives in New York City and runs a business that sells boats. In an average year, he receives $723,000 from selling boats. Of this sales revenue, he must pay the manufacturer a wholesale cost of $423,000; he also pays wages and utility bills totaling $267,000. He owns his showroom; if he chooses to rent it out, he will receive $2,000 in rent per year. Assume that the value of this showroom does not depreciate over the year.

Which of the statements is true of the prisoner's dilemma? In the game that includes two prisoners, from which this game derives its name, neither prisoner will confess and they will both walk free. The prisoner's dilemma is an example of a cooperative equilibrium. In the prisoner's dilemma, firms could do better if they both did exactly the opposite of what they ultimately choose to do. One player has a dominant strategy and the other has a mixed strategy.
Answer: In the prisoner's dilemma, firms could do better if they both did exactly the opposite of what they ultimately choose to do.
Explanation:
The prisoner's dilemma is simply an analysis in the game theory which reveals the reasons for the lack of cooperation between two rational individuals.
We should note that in the prisoners dilemma, it'll have been in the best interest of the parties to agree and cooperate. The firms choose the strategies which makes them better off at the expense of the other firm who's worse off but they could have been better if they both did exactly the opposite of what they ultimately choose to do.
Its prevailing technique of both the inmates and the Nash equilibrium inside the prisoner's conundrum was (cheat, cheat). Both would be worse off with only one year in prison if they had chosen the opposite conclusion, that is, not confessing.
This prisoner's dilemma was essentially an analysis of game theory, that reveals the reasons for the absence of collaboration among two rational individuals.It mentions a prisoner's dilemma, or how it would've been in the best interests of all parties agreeing and cooperating. Firms choose methods that benefit them at the expense of other firms. It might've been better if they would have done the exact opposite of what they finally opted to do.Therefore, the final answer is "Third choice".

On July 24, Woolsey purchased a three-month put option for 250,000 British pounds and designated this option as a cash flow hedge of a forecasted foreign currency transaction expected to be completed in late October. The following exchange rates apply:
Option Strike Price = $2.17
Option Cost : $4,000
July 24th Spot Rate : $2.17
October 24th Spot Rate :$2.13
October 24th Option Premium : $.04
