a. Students believe that if the initiative does not happen, the funds for the initiative Will not be spent elsewhere.
Explanation:
A public good is a good that is non excludable and non rivalrous.
Because a student is enjoying the visual appearance of the campus, another student is not prevented from enjoying the visual appearance of the campus. This means that the beautification initiative is non rivalrous
There is no way to prevent any student from viewing the initiative. This means it is non excludable
Benefit can be calculated using the willingness to pay of student
the price a student is willing to pay would be dependent on the amount of benefit she expects to derive from the project
benefit = 420 x $12 = $5040
The beautification initiative generates a positive externality
A good or initiative has positive externality if the benefits to third parties not involved in production is greater than the cost
Because the good generates positive externality, the initiative should be carried out
If . Students believe that if the initiative does not happen, the funds for the initiative Will not be spent elsewhere, they would quote a lower willingess to pay

The current price of the Volkswagen ADR (VWAGY) is 35.50. You purchase 50 shares on margin. You finance half of the purchase yourself and borrow the other half from your broker at an annual interest rate of 6.0%. Assume that the ADR pays an annual dividend of 0.56 per share. If the price in one year is 42, what is the return on your investment (keep in mind that you need to pay interest on the loan)
Answer:
33.77%
Explanation:
In one year, you are going to receive ($42 x 100) + ($0.56 x 100) = $4,256
you must return ($35.50 x 50) = $1,775
plus interests = $1,775 x 6% = $106.50
total return = $4,256 - $1,775 - $106.50 = $2,374.50
you invested $1,775
return on your investment = ($2,374.50 / $1,775) - 1 = 33.77%
The Filling Department received 52,900 ounces from the Blending Department. During the period, the Filling Department completed 67,000 ounces, including 16,700 ounces of work in process at the beginning of the period. The ending work in process inventory was 2,600 ounces.
Required:
How many ounces were started and completed during the period?b
Answer: 50,300 ounces
Explanation:
Ounces started would exclude the beginning ounces while ounces completed would include the beginning ounces.
Ounces started and completed during the period are:
= Ounces completed - Beginning Work in process ounces
= 67,000 - 16,700
= 50,300 ounces
Rockwood Industries has 100 million shares outstanding, a current share price of $25, and no debt. Rockwood's management believes that the shares are under-priced, and that the true value is $30 per share. Rockwood plans to pay $250 million in cash to its shareholders by repurchasing shares. Management expects that very soon new information will come out that will cause investors to revise their opinion of the firm and agree with Rockwood's assessment of the firm's true value. Assume that Rockwood is not able to repurchase shares prior to the market becoming aware of the new information regarding Rockwood's true value. If Rockwood repurchases the shares following the release of the new information, then the number of shares outstanding following the repurchase is closest to:_______
A. $30.00
B. $31.50
C. 28.75
D. $30.60
Answer:
D. $30.60
Explanation:
A step by step approach is provided below to determine the shares value after repurchase.
Number of Shares Repurchased = $250 million / $25 per share
Number of Shares Repurchased = 10 million shares
The total number of shares outstanding after repurchase are 90 Million (100 million - 10 million).
Value of the firm before repurchase = $30 x 100 million shares = $3,000 million
Value of the firm after repurchase = $3,000 million - $250 million = $2,750 million
Price per share after repurchase = $2,750 million / 90 million shares = $30.56 per share
Looking back over the last ten years or so, what was changed in your workplace? What do you think will happen next in your work place 5 years from now?
As 2020 draws near, it’s hard not to reflect on the past decade- so much has changed in the 10 years that flew by. In 2010, those who even had a smartphone were carrying around an iPhone 4 or a BlackBerry OS 6.0 version.
While the illustrious BlackBerry has all but disappeared from the workplace of 2019, there has been plenty of technologies in its wake to replace it. Let’s take a look at how the workplace has changed, communication tools and otherwise, in the past decade.
1. Collaboration over competition
“So many things have happened in the last decade that have really accelerated this change from competition to collaboration,” said Ann Shoket, workplace thought leader and former Editor-In-Chief of Seventeen Magazine.
“So first of all this old idea that there was room at the table for one woman, and you would fight tooth or nail for that spot, so obviously there was a lot of competition, particularly among women.
“Then the next generation, Millennial women, came in and made more room at the table and brought their friends along with them. That was the shift toward collaboration.”
2. It’s an employee market, not an employer market
“Reflecting back on 2010 and what the economic circumstances were versus where we are at today, the competition for talent was very different in 2010 than as we enter 2020,” said Rhiannon Staples, the Chief Marketing Officer at Hibob.
Low unemployment rates today mean that job seekers have more options, and employees have more leverage in terms of what they can expect of their company due to the competition for top talent.
“It really is on businesses to help develop an environment, a culture, and perks that really draw the best talent in the market,” Staples said. “That’s really very different from where we were just 10 years ago.”
3. Push towards a more remote workforce
Anyone in the workforce 10 years ago won’t be shocked that the change in when and where we work made this list. Whereas in the past remote work was reserved for special situations, that kind of idea is now replaced by a lot more freedom of where you work and when you work, and that’s not just people who are entrepreneurs. This idea is something that everybody wants out of work, to have a more flexible time frame to be free from the office. This idea of freedom is such an important piece of where we are going at work.
“That kind of idea is now replaced by a lot more freedom of where you work and when you work, and that’s not just people who are entrepreneurs,” Shoket said. “This idea is something that everybody wants out of work, to have a more flexible time frame to be free from the office. This idea of freedom is such an important piece of where we are going at work.”
On November 1, Year One, a company is paid $12,000 in advance to do a job for a customer. The job has ten separate steps. The first four steps were completed in Year One and the remaining six steps were completed in Year Two. The accountant mistakenly believed that this was just one big job and recorded it in that fashion. However, each of the ten steps was really an individual job and should have been accounted for in that way. Which of the following statements is true?
a. At the end of Year One, the company's liabilities are understated.
b. At the end of Year Two, the company's assets are overstated.
c. At the end of Year Two, the company's retained earnings are overstated.
d. At the end of Year One, the company's retained earnings are understated.
e. At the end of Year Two, the company's net income is understated.
Answer: a. At the end of Year One, the company's liabilities are understated.
Explanation:
Under the Accrual basis of Accounting, revenue should be recorded for only jobs that have been completed. In other words, only earned revenue should be recorded. Revenue that has not been earned but yet received, is to be termed Deferred revenue and should be treated as a current liability.
In this scenario, there are steps that have not been completed so some of the revenue received should be termed deferred revenue. These should therefore be in current liabilities and because they were not, the liabilities for the end of year 1 will be understated.
Direct materials and direct labor are 100% variable. Overhead is 70% fixed. An outside supplier has offered to supply the 70,000 units of RX5 for $20.00 per unit. Required: 1. Determine the total incremental cost of making 70,000 units of RX5. 2. Determine the total incremental cost of buying 70,000 units of RX5. 3. Should the company make or buy RX5
Question Completion:
Haver Company currently produces component RX5 for its sole product. The current cost per unit to manufacture the required 70,000 units of RX5 follows.
Direct materials $4.00
Direct labor 8.00
Overhead 9.00
Total costs per unit $21.00
Answer:
Haver Company1. The total incremental cost of making 70,000 units of RX5 is:
= $1,029,000.
2. The total incremental cost of buying 70,000 units of RX5 is:
= $1,400,000.
3. The company should make RX5. Buying 70,000 units of RX5 will cost the company $371,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Variability of costs: 100%
Direct materials $4.00 100% = $4.00
Direct labor 8.00 100% = 8.00
Overhead 9.00 30% = 2.70
Total costs per unit $21.00 $14.70
Fixed cost:
Overhead = $6.30 ($9.00 * 70%)
Offer from an outside supplier to supply 70,000 units of RX5 at $20.00 per unit
Total incremental cost of making 70,000 units of RX5 = $1,029,000 (70,000 * $14.70)
The total incremental cost of buying 70,000 units of RX5 at $20,000 is:
= $1,400,000 (70,000 * $20.00)
Difference = $371,000 ($140,000 - $1,029,000)
Residents of poor countries tend to have fewer automobiles per capita because Group of answer choices lower per capita real gross domestic product (GDP) growth rates allow for less spending on automobiles. residents of poor countries generally prefer to walk. tax rates are higher in poor countries, which leaves less money to spend on cars. residents of poor countries tend to live on farms, where cars are unnecessary. residents of wealthy countries have automobiles provided to them by the government.
Answer:
lower per capita real gross domestic product (GDP) growth rates allow for less spending on automobiles.
Explanation:
Gross Domestic Products (GDP) is a measure of the total market value of all finished goods and services made within a country during a specific period.
Simply stated, GDP is a measure of the total income of all individuals in an economy and the total expenses incurred on the economy's output of goods and services in a particular country.
Generally, the Gross Domestic Products (GDP) of a country's economy gives an insight to the social well-being of the country, such as;
Adjusting the Real gross domestic product (Real GDP) for price level changes by using a price index. This simply means, Real GDP is adjusted for inflation to measure the value of goods and services produced by a country in a specific period of time.
Mathematically, [tex]{Real GDP}=\frac{\text{Nominal GDP}}{\text{GDP deflator}}[/tex]
Hence, residents of poor countries tend to have fewer automobiles per capita because lower per capita real gross domestic product (GDP) growth rates allow for less spending on automobiles.
During the middle years of last decade, the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar has declined against the currencies of its major trading partners. You would expect this to result in a corresponding increase in U.S. dollar denominated import prices from those trading partners. U.S. dollar import prices, however, often rise less than the increase in the currency value of the exporter. Why
Answer:
Because there are other factors that influence the weakening or strengthening of the dollar, not just the dollar exchange rate in relation to the exchange rates of other countries' currencies.
Explanation:
Although the United States has registered increases in the trade deficit, that is, when the country imports more goods and services from abroad than it exports, there are other factors that determine whether the country's currency is valued or not. In the case of the dollar, its value has not decreased despite the fall in the exchange rate of the dollar in relation to the currencies of its main trading partners due to the fact that the dollar is the main reserve currency in the world, which means that the dollar is the fashion of commercial transaction in the world, therefore its value is not lost in relation to other currencies, since several important transactions in the world such as gold and oil commodities are traded in dollars.
There is also the fact that the US attracts a lot of international investment for US Treasury bills, which helps to strengthen the dollar.
Cool Compartments Inc. has offered to sell 20,000 ice-makers to Refrigerator Company for $28 per unit. If Refrigerator accepts Cool Compartments' offer, the facilities used to manufacture ice-makers could be used to produce water filtration units.

Carla McFarland was an associate professor of English literature at Highland College. She was the only single person in her department. Consequently, she was frequently assigned classes late in the evening, on weekends, and during the summer semester. She was also called upon to pick up visiting professors and serve as their escort and guide during their stays at the college. She received extra duty as adviser to the The Highland Review, the college’s literary magazine. When McFarland complained about the unequal treatment, she was told that the married professors had family responsibilities that she did not have, which took up much of their time and prevented them from having the flexibility that she had. Thus, she would continue to carry the extra load. McFarland filed a complaint with the EEOC.
Required:
Can discrimination based on an employee’s status as a single person be considered unlawful under the Civil Rights Act? Explain. Is this a case of disparate impact or disparate treatment? Explain.
Answer and Explanation:
The case shown above is an example of discrimination by civil status, however it is not an example of violation of the civil rights law, as it is not prohibited by the Civil Rights Act of 1964. However, some states have their own legislation that prevents this type of discrimination, which makes it a violation of state laws, which can lead the offender to be severely punished.
This is an example of case of disparate treatment, as we can see that there is discriminatory treatment with an employee, where she is treated differently compared to other employees because of a characteristic of her personal life.
This would be a case of disparate impact if there were a group of protected and privileged employees at the expense of the exploitation of other employees.

in your own opinion, what is the advantages and disadvantages of having a business website.
Answer:
There are several advantages and disadvantages to having a website for your business or limited company. In the modern age, more and more businesses are getting online. As I mentioned in a previous post, there were around 227,225,642 websites online in September 2010. If you don’t take your business onto the World Wide Web, you could miss out on potential customers, sales and profits. According to data collected by the Office for National Statistics – internet sales were up to £473million (a week) in August 2010 (Retail Sales Statistical Bulletin – August 2010). So having a website designed for your small business or limited company is just one important step towards getting a slice of the internet pie.
Identify the opportunity below that could enable an employee to commit fraud. Group of answer choices An employee's spouse loses her job. The company does not have a clear policies and procedures for the employee to follow. The employee is experiencing financial hardship. An employee is upset that he was passed over for a promotion.
Answer:
The employee is experiencing financial hardship.
Explanation:
Fraud is best understood by the Fraud Triangle: pressure, opportunity and tone. Therefore for fraud to occur there must be pressure felt by employee for lack of funds, where opportunity to commit fraud exists and when the company's tone provides the means to justify employee's fraudulent behaviour.
In the given question, where an employee's spouse loses her job there is neither any opportunity nor tone of the company to commit fraud.
For the issue where company does not have a clear policies and procedures for the employee to follow, there is tone of the company to commit fraud but there is no pressure nor any opportunity to commit fraud.
The employee is experiencing financial hardship, this is a possible opportunity to commit fraud. As there is pressure and opportunity for the employee to go through it.
In the final option, the fact of being upset does creates a reason for fraud but due to lack of any financial pressure the fraud would not occur.
General Motors Corporation reported the following information in its 10-K report:
Inventories at December 31 ($ millions) 2008 2007
Productive material, work in process, and supplies $4,849 $6,267
Finished product, service parts, etc. 9,426 10,095
Total inventories at FIFO 14,275 16,362
Less LIFO allowance (1,233) (1,423)
Total automotive and other inventories, less allowances $13,042 $14,939
The company reports its inventory using the LIFO costing method during 2007 and 2008.
Required:
a. At what dollar amount are inventories reported on its 2008 balance sheet?
b. At what dollar amount would inventories have been reported in 2008 if FIFO inventory costing had been used?
Answer:
General Motors Corporation
a) Inventories are reported on its 2008 balance sheet at $13,042.
b) Inventories would have been reported on its 2008 balance sheet at $14,275 if FIFO inventory costing had been used.
Explanation:
a) Data and Analysis:
Inventories at December 31 ($ millions) 2008 2007
Productive material, work in process, and supplies $4,849 $6,267
Finished product, service parts, etc. 9,426 10,095
Total inventories at FIFO 14,275 16,362
Less LIFO allowance (1,233) (1,423)
Total automotive and other inventories, less allowances $13,042 $14,939
b) LIFO = Last-in, First-out. This inventory method assumes that items that were brought into the store last were the first to be sold. This presupposes that the cost of goods sold will be determined by the most recent items, while the ending inventory will be determined by the latter items.
c) FIFO = First-in, First-out: This is the opposite of LIFO. The inventory method assumes that items that were bought first would be the first to be sold. This method presupposes that the cost of goods sold will be determined by the first items in store, while the ending inventory will be determined by the cost of the most items.

Turnbull Co. is considering a project that requires an initial investment of $1,708,000. The firm will raise the $1,708,000 in capital by issuing $750,000 of debt at a before-tax cost of 11.1%, $78,000 of preferred stock at a cost of 12.2%, and $880,000 of equity at a cost of 14.7%. The firm faces a tax rate of 40%. What will be the WACC for this project
Answer:
11.06%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What will be the WACC for this project
First step is to calculate the Weight of Debt
Weight of Debt = $750,000 / $1,708,000
Weight of Debt = 0.4391
Second step is to calculate the Weight of Preferred Stock
Weight of Preferred Stock = $78,000 / $1,708,000
Weight of Preferred Stock = 0.0457
Third step is to calculate the Weight of Equity
Weight of Equity = $880,000 / $1,708,000
Weight of Equity = 0.5152
Fourth step is to calculate After Tax Cost of Debt
After Tax Cost of Debt = 11.1% * (1 – 0.40)
After Tax Cost of Debt = 6.66%
Now let calculate WACC using this formula
WACC = (Weight of Debt * After Tax Cost of Debt) + (Weight of Preferred Stock * Cost of Preferred Stock) + (Weight of Equity * Cost of Equity)
Let plug in the formula
WACC = (0.4391 * 0.0666) + (0.0457 * 0.1220) + (0.5152 * 0.1470)
WACC = 0.02924406+0.0055754+0.0757344
WACC =0.1106*100
WACC =11.06%
