Answer:
James will lose money, since his earnings will be lower than the interest that he must pay.
Explanation:
The capitalization (cap) rate is a ratio calculated by dividing the net operating income over the property asset value.
For example, if James is purchasing the property at $100,000, his net earning will be $7,500 per year (cap rate of 7.5%), but he will have to $8,000 in interests for the property. The interests are higher than the earnings, therefore the leverage is negative.
Answer: Polychronic Time
Explanation: A culture that makes use of Polychronic time engages in so many activities at a time, and most times end up not being able to meet up with their main objective.
On the other hand a culture that makes use of monochronic time values doing a thing at a time and find it easier to meet their targets.
The Brazilians are more of a Polychronic time culture as described in the question.
Answer:
Consider the following calculation and analysis
Explanation:
We will analyse from cost perspective, the alternative with lower cost should be selected.
Total no. of doctor visit = 12 monthly visit + 3 times special visit = 15
Cost = 50 * 15 = $750
Under Traditional health checkup plan
Cost of plan = $ 250 + (20% of doctor visiting charges) = 250 + 20% of 750 = $400
Under HMO
Premium = 20 * 12 months = $240
Co payment = 10 * 15 = 150
Total = $ 390
There is a saving of $10 in HMO, so she should opt for this option. Moreover, the benefit of HMO would be the payments are monthly in small installments ,rather than a big outflow as in the case of traditonal plan.
Answer:
a) What is the expected transaction price with variable consideration estimated as the expected value?
- original cost $5,800 if job is finished in one month (15% probability)
- bonus price for finishing 2 weeks earlier $5,800 x 1.25 = $7,250 (25% probability)
- bonus price for finishing 1 week earlier $5,800 x 1.15 = $6,670 (60% probability)
expected transaction price = ($5,800 x 15%) + ($7,250 x 25%) + ($6,670 x 60%) = $6,684.50
b) What is the expected transaction price with variable consideration as the most likely amount?
$6,670, since it has a 60% probability
Answer: The total manufacturing cost variance is made up of direct material cost variance, direct labor cost variance and factory overhead cost variance. (Option C).
Explanation:
Some of the goals of manufacturing companies are to increase company’s revenue and profit. To achieve this, a company needs to know how to manage its costs and these may cause variances in manufacturing.
The total manufacturing cost variance is made up of direct material cost variance, direct labor cost variance and factory overhead cost variance. These costs are the differences between the actual cost incurred and the set cost. These variances help managers to know if the company is meeting up to the required standard.
