Kearney Inc. has a factory with the following characteristics: direct labor of $82056, direct materials of $52432 fixed overhead
frutty [35]

Answer:

The amount of cost from Pool A that is allocated to LQ6 is $7,802.

Explanation:

Since Pool A includes all variable overhead and uses direct labor as the allocation base, we can obtain the following from the question:

Direct labor = $82,056

Variable overhead = $146,362

Number of labor hours used by LQ6 = 162

Factory's labor costs per hour = $27

Therefore, we have:

Factory's labor cost of LQ6 = Number of labor hours used by LQ6 * Factory's labor costs per hour = 162 * $27 = $4,374

Variable over allocated to LQ6 from Pool A = (Factory's labor cost of LQ6 / Direct labor) * Variable overhead = ($4,374 / $82,056) * $146,362 = $7,801.83518572682

Rounding to whole number of $ as required, we have:

Variable over allocated to LQ6 from Pool A = $7,802

Therefore, the amount of cost from Pool A that is allocated to LQ6 is $7,802.

If management wants to maximize its stock price, and if it believes that the dividend irrelevance theory is correct, then it mus
kupik [55]

Answer:

The correct answer is False.

Explanation:

This statement is false, since the residual theory of dividends argues that these are irrelevant, that is, that the value of the company is not affected by its dividend policy. The main drivers of this theory are Modigliani and Miller. Both authors affirm that the value of the company is determined solely by the profitability and the degree of risk of its assets (investments), and that the way in which the organization divides its income between dividends and reinvestment does not have a direct effect on its value .

However, some studies show that significant changes in dividends affect the price of shares in the same direction, that is, increases in dividends translate into increases in stock prices, and vice versa. In response, M and M propose that the positive effects of dividend increases be attributed, not to the dividend itself, but to the informational content of dividends with respect to future income. Thus, any increase in dividends would cause investors to raise the price of the shares, while a decrease would cause a corresponding decrease in the price of the shares.

1. Jones files a lawsuit against BigMoney, LLC, a brokerage firm registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the
tester [92]

Answer:

Jones is right in this lawsuit

Explanation:

Arbitration is the process by which disputes are settled between parties. When there is a disagreement between parties an arbitrator comes in to give a fair and unbiased view of the situation.

A solution that is agreed to by all parties is agreed upon to settle.

In this scenario where Jones is filing a lawsuit against BigMoney LLC for violating the Securities Exchange Act by engaging in fraudulent excessive trading, this is a violation of the law and not a dispute between parties.

So the arbitration clause is is not binding and the arbitration clause should be nullified.
