Explanation:

As with the threat of takeover, there comes the risk of losing control, power, monetary benefits, the stockholder's tend to agree with managers, and the manager's tend to agree with stockholders.

Therefore, correct answer is:

D. The threat of takeovers tends to reduce potential conflicts between stockholders and managers.

If a gain of $221000 is realized in the cash sale of a building having a book value of $882000, the total amount reported in the

djyliett [7]

Answer:

$1,103,000

Explanation:

The cash flow statement categories the company's transactions in a financial period into 3 groups; these are operating, investing and financing.

The net profit/loss, depreciation, changes in current assets (other than cash) and liabilities are considered as operating activities including income taxes.

The sale of assets, interest received, purchase of investments are examples of investing activities while the issuance of stocks, debt principal deduction (loan settlement), issuance of debt securities etc are examples of financing activities.

For assets disposed, the amount received from the disposal is the amount recorded as an investing activity.

Amount received - Book value of asset = Gain on disposal

Amount received = $221000 + $882000

= $1,103,000

In a discussion of economics, which of the following would exert the most influence on an individual firm's decision to hire wor

9966 [12]

Answer:

(B) the macroeconomy

Explanation:

The condition of the macroeconomy would exert the most influence of a firm's decision to hire more workers. As economic growth increases and demand grows, the firm is likely to hire more workers to meet increasing demand for its goods. On the other hand, in an economic recession, the firm is likely to hire less and even lay off its existing workers as demand for its goods reduces.

Option A is incorrect as a firm would not hire more workers even at low wage levels if the economy is in a recession. Option C is incorrect as the level of a firm's income would likely not be considered in its hiring decision if demand for its goods was very high. Option D is incorrect as the household income would likely not be considered by the firm in its hiring decision.

12345 [234]

Answer:

Part 1.

Plantwide overhead rate for Laval using direct labor hours as a base. is $1.60 per Direct Labor Hour

Part 2.

Total manufacturing cost per unit for the aluminum desk lamp using the plantwide overhead rate is $78.76

Part 3. Compute departmental overhead rates based on machine hours in the fabricating department and direct labor hours in the assembly department.

Fabricating Assembly

Overheads (R) 390000 410000

Department Cost Driver 152000 290000

Overhead Rate 2.57 1.41

Therefore Overhead Rates are :

Fabricating Department $ 2.57 per Machine Hour

Assembly Department $1.41 per Labor Hour

Part 4. Use departmental overhead rates from requirement 3 to determine the total manufacturing cost per unit for the aluminum desk lamps.

Direct materials ($270000/21000) 12.86

Direct labor:

Fabricating department(6500/21000×$29) 8.98

Assembly department(15200/21000×$26) 18.82

Overheads:

Fabricating department(152000/21000×$2.57) 18.60

Assembly department (290000/21000×$1.41) 19.47

Total manufacturing cost per unit 78.73

Explanation:

Part 1. Plantwide overhead rate for Laval using direct labor hours as a base.

Overhead Rate = Total Overheads/Total Direct Labor Hours

= $1.60 per Direct Labor Hour

Fabricating Assembly Total

Overheads (R) 390000 410000 800000

Direct Labor Hrs 210000 290000 500000

Overhead Rate 1.60

Part 2. Total manufacturing cost per unit for the aluminum desk lamp using the plantwide overhead rate

Direct materials ($270000/21000) 12.86

Direct labor:

Fabricating department(6500/21000×$29) 8.98

Assembly department(15200/21000×$26) 18.82

Overheads:

Fabricating department(210000/21000×$1.60) 16.00

Assembly department (290000/21000×$1.60) 22.10

Total manufacturing cost per unit 78.76

Part 3. Compute departmental overhead rates based on machine hours in the fabricating department and direct labor hours in the assembly department.

Part 4. Use departmental overhead rates from requirement 3 to determine the total manufacturing cost per unit for the aluminum desk lamps.

The owner of Grandma's Applesauce is planning to retire after the coming year. She has to repay a loan of $50,000 plus 8 percent

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Option (B) $5,000

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Repayment of Loan = $50,000

Interest = 8%

Cash flow Probability

$65,000 70%

$45,000 30%

Tax rate = 0%

Now,

Interest on loan = 8% of $50,000

= $4,000

Expected value of cash flow = ∑[cash flow × Probability ]

= ( 0.7 × $65,000 ) + ( 0.3 × $45,000 )

= $45,500 + $13,500

= $59,000

The owner's expected cash flow after debt service

= Expected value of cash flow - Interest on loan - Repayment of Loan

= $59,000 - $4,000 - $50,000

= $5,000

Hence,

Option (B) $5,000
