Julius Smith is a purchasing agent for a Louisiana state agency. He has a project budgeted for $24,000 that he would like to hir

e RGS Consultants to handle. Unfortunately for Julius and RGS Consultants, the state has a requirement that all projects over $10,000 must be sent out for competitive bids. In order to avoid the bidding process, Julius breaks the project into three component projects worth $8,000 each. RGS Consultants is subsequently awarded the contracts for all three projects. What type of bid-rigging scheme is this?

Answer:

Bid splitting

Explanation:

In essence the project is one but, to avoid the legal requirement and process they divide the project into smaller part to avoid other potencial candidates.

This is a bad practice and it is fraud as the parts agree each to represent reaity (a project of 24,000) in a way to avoid the legal treatment( 3 smaller project of 8,000)

Sergio039 [100]

(a) $33750000 (b) $11250000 (c) $22500000

Explanation:

Solution

(a) How much would Ziegler Inc. total income of operating  increase.

Now,

Units * (Cost of purchased from outside supplier - Variable cost)

Thus,

75000 * ($1350 - $900) = $33750000

(b) How much would the Instrument Division's operating income increase

Now,

The Units * (Cost of purchased from outside supplier - Transfer Price)

So,

75000 units * ($1350 - $1200) = $11250000

(C) How much would the Components Division's operating income increase?

Now,

Units * (Transfer Price - Variable cost)

75000 units * ($1200 - $900) = $22500000

You want to buy a car, and a local bank will lend you $25,000. The loan will be fully amortized over 5 years (60 months), and th
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Monthly payment: 460.41 dollars

Effective rate:  4.07%

Explanation:

we will calculate the PTM of an annuity of 25,000 over 5 year at 4%

PV \div \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = C\\

PV  $25,000.00

time 60

rate 0.003333333

25000 \div \frac{1-(1+0.003333)^{-60} }{0.003333} = C\\

C  $ 460.413

Now we need to know the effective rate, which is the same as 4% compounding monthly:

(1+0.04/12)^{60} = (1+ r_e)^{5}\\r_e = \sqrt[5]{(1+0.04/12)^{60}} - 1

effective  rate = 0.040741543 = 4.07%

oronado Company has the following account balances: Purchases $95600 Sales Returns and Allowances 12600 Purchase Discounts 8300
Vladimir79 [104]

The cost of goods purchased for the period is $90,000 having the required account balances .

<h3>Account balances </h3>

An account balance is the amount of money present in a financial repository, such as a savings or checking account, at any given moment. The account balance is always the net amount after factoring in all debits and credits. An account balance that falls below zero represents a net debt—for example, when there is an overdraft on a checking account. For financial accounts that have recurring bills, such as an electric bill or a mortgage, an account balance may also reflect an amount owed.

Compute conversion costs given the following data: direct materials, $361,300; direct labor, $195,300; factory overhead, $216,70
Radda [10]

Answer:

a. $412,000

Explanation:

Conversion cost is the combination of direct labor and manufacturing overhead which directly or indirectly are necessary to produce a product other than the direct raw materials.

We know,

<em>Conversion costs = Direct Labor + Manufacturing Overhead</em>

Here,

Manufacturing overhead = Indirect material + Indirect Labor + Indirect overhead (including variable and fixed overhead)

Given,

Direct labor = $195,300

Manufacturing overhead = Factory overhead = $216,700

Selling expenses will not be included because it is not a direct or indirect overhead expense.

Therefore,

<em>Conversion costs = </em>$195,300 + $216,700

<em>Conversion costs = </em>$412,000
