__________This import tax was meant to replace the earlier "Tariff of Abominations", but it was widely disliked by southern merc

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Tariff of 1832

Explanation:

The Tariff of 1832 was enacted to replace the 1828 import tariffs commonly known as Tariffs of Abomination. Most southern states did not like it, but its greatest opposition came from South Carolina since its economy depended greatly in foreign trade. Back then America's largest export was cotton produced by southern states.

Due to South Carolina's extreme opposition, it was replaced by the Compromise Tariff of 1833. This last tariff would gradually decrease the tax rates until they fell back to 1816 levels, which was approximately 20%.

The Nullification Crisis refers to a legal process carried out in South Carolina that determined that federal taxes, specifically import tariffs were unconstitutional and shouldn't apply to them. The problem is that the Supreme Court decides what is unconstitutional or not, not a state court.

Suppose your employer offers you a choice between a $ 4 comma 600 bonus and 200 shares of the company stock. Whichever one you c

Virty [35]

Answer:

a. Suppose that if you receive the stock bonus, you are free to trade it. Which form of the bonus should you choose? What is its value?

I would choose the stock bonus because the current market price = 200 x $64 = $12,800 which is much higher than $4,600 (cash bonus)

b. Suppose that if you receive the stock bonus, you are required to hold it for at least one year. What can you say about the value of the stock bonus now? What will your decision depend on?

Even if you are required to hold the stock for one year, the price difference with the cash bonus is too great = ($12,800 - $4,600) / $4,600 = 178% higher. Since you are employed by the company, you should know if the company is doing well or not, and the probable future stock price.

Only if something catastrophic happened to the company would make the cash bonus more attractive.

The projected benefit obligation was $80 million at the beginning of the year. Service cost for the year was $10 million. At the

irinina [24]

Answer:

$87 million

Explanation:

The projected benefit obligation (PBO) is a measurement of the present amount of money needed by a company to cover future pension liabilities. PBO uses how long the employee will work and any increased future obligations to the employee's pension.

Given that:

PBO at the beginning of the year = $80 million

Service cost for the year = $10 million

Interest = Discount rate × PBO at beginning of the year = 5% × $80 million = 0.05 × $80 million = $4 million

Actuarial (gain) Loss = Amount paid - Expected money = $5 million - $4 million = $1 million

Benefits paid paid by trustees = $6 million

The total pension expense for the year = PBO at year beginning + Service cost + interest - Actuarial (gain) Loss - benefits = $80 million + $10 million + $4 million - $1 million - $6 million = $87 million

The Brite Beverage Company bottles soft drinks into aluminum cans. The manufacturing process consists of three activities:

Leokris [45]

Answer:

A. $0.1 per can

B. $3,315

C. 0.098 per packaged can

Explanation:

a) Calculation to Determine the total activity cost per packaged can under present operations.

Using this formula

Total activity cost per packaged = Total activity cost under present operations ÷ total cans packaged

Let plug in the formula

Total activity cost per packaged= $650,000 ÷ 6,500,000

Total activity cost per packaged= $0.1 per can

Therefore the total activity cost per packaged can under present operations is $0.1 per can

b) Calculation to Determine the amount of increased packaging activity costs from the expected improvements.

First step is to calculate the Packaging cost per bottle =

Using this formula

Packaging cost per bottle = Current packaging cost ÷ total cans packaged

Let plug in the formula

Packaging cost per bottle = 110,500 ÷ 6,500,000

Packaging cost per bottle = $0.017 per bottle

Second step is to calculate the Total packaging cost

Using this formula

Total packaging cost = Total bottle × cost per bottle

Let plug in the formula

Total packaging cost= 6,695,000 × $0.017

Total packaging cost= $113,815

Now let determine the amount of increased packaging activity costs from the expected improvements.

Using this formula

Amount of increased packaging activity costs = total packaging cost - current packaging cost

Let plug in the formula

Amount of increased packaging activity costs= $113,815 - 110,500

Amount of increased packaging activity costs= $3,315

Therefore the amount of increased packaging activity costs from the expected improvements is $3,315

c) Calculation to Determine the expected total activity cost per packaged can after improvements

First step is to calculate Total activity cost using this formula

Total activity cost = Mixing cost + filling cost + packaging cost

Let plug in the formula

Total activity cost == $286,000 + $253,500 + $113,815

Total activity cost == $653,315

Now let determine the Expected total activity cost per packaged can

Using this formula

Expected total activity cost per packaged can = Total activity cost ÷ no. of bottles

Let plug in the formula

Expected total activity cost per packaged can= $653,315 ÷ 6,695,000

Expected total activity cost per packaged can=0.098 per packaged can

Therefore the expected total activity cost per packaged can after improvements is 0.098 per packaged can
