Kent's counteroffer of $60,000 had rendered the offer for $65,000 invalid
Reason- Whenever a counteroffer is made, it voids the earlier offers That's because real estate laws in all 50 states say that a seller who makes a written counteroffer automatically renders the buyer's original offer null and void.
Suppose that Brazil imports semiconductors from the United States. The free market price is $23.00 per semiconductor. If the tariff on imports in Brazil is initially 12%, Brazilians pay $_____per semiconductor. One of the accomplishments of the Uruguay Round that took place between 1986 and 1993 was significant across-the-board tariff cuts for industrial countries, as well as many developing countries. Suppose that as a result of the Uruguay Round, Brazil reduces its import tariffs to 6%.
Assuming the price of semiconductors is still $23.00 per semiconductor, consumers now pay the price of $_____per semiconductor. Based on the calculations and the scenarios presented, the Uruguay Round most likely_____in Brazil and______in the United States.
Answer:
Suppose that Brazil imports semiconductors from the United States. The free market price is $23.00 per semiconductor. If the tariff on imports in Brazil is initially 12%, Brazilians pay $25.76 per semiconductor.
= 23 * ( 1 + 12%) = $25.76
One of the accomplishments of the Uruguay Round that took place between 1986 and 1993 was significant across-the-board tariff cuts for industrial countries, as well as many developing countries.
Suppose that as a result of the Uruguay Round, Brazil reduces its import tariffs to 6%.
Assuming the price of semiconductors is still $23.00 per semiconductor, consumers now pay the price of $24.38 per semiconductor.
= 23 * ( 1 + 6%) = $24.38
Based on the calculations and the scenarios presented, the Uruguay Round most likely hurts Producers in Brazil and benefits producers in the United States.
The Uruguay Round reduced the tariff and made the semiconductor cheaper for Brazilians which means they will now import more. This will benefit producers in the US who will now be able to sell more but will hurt producers in Brazil who will sell less if their prices are higher than $24.38.

So you want to finance a car for $4,840. Let’s say we offer you a 4.5% interest rate on a 2-year loan and 6% on a 5-year loan. Enter this info into the calculator to see your monthly and total cost by loan term.
Financing Amount
$4840
Correct
Interest Rate on 2-Year Loan
Interest Rate on 5-Year Loan
Answer:
Interest Rate on 2-Year Loan...$435.6
Interest Rate on 5-Year Loan...$1,452
Explanation:
The formula for calculating simple interest is as follows.
I = P x R x T,
where I = interest
P= Principal
R= interest rate
T= time
For the loan at 4.5 percent for 2 years, the interest will be
= $4,840 x 4.5/100 x 2
= $4,840 x 0.045 x 2
= $435.6
Total cost of the loan will principal plus interest
=$435.6 + $4,840
=$5,275.6
Monthly loan cost
= $5,275.6/24
=$219.81
Total loan cost..$5,275.6
Monthly loan cost ...$219.81
For the Loan at 6 percent for 5 years, the interest will be
= $4,840 x 6/100 x 5
= $4,840 x 0.06 x 5
=$1,452
Total cost of the loan will be principal plus interest
=$ 4,840 + $1,452
=$6,292
Monthly costs will be
=$6,292/60
=$104.87
Total loan cost... $6,292
Monthly loan costs... $104.87
Department Alpha had no beginning inventory. The department added direct materials costing $55,040 and conversion costs of $88,660 during the month of July. Materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversion costs are added evenly throughout the process in this department. During the month, 40,000 units were completed. At the end of July, 3,000 units remained which were 10% complete with respect to conversion costs. What is the correct cost per equivalent unit for materials for July?
Answer:
Cost per equivalent unit of materials = $1.28
Explanation:
Materials Cost = $55,040
Number of completed units = 40,000
Total units for material = 40,000 + 3,000 = 43,000 units
Cost per equivalent unit of materials = $55,040 / 43,000
Cost per equivalent unit of materials = $1.28
The December 31, 2018, balance sheet of Whelan, Inc., showed long-term debt of $1,420,000, $144,000 in the common stock account, and $2,690,000 in the additional paid-in surplus account. The December 31, 2019, balance sheet showed long-term debt of $1,620,000, $154,000 in the common stock account and $2,990,000 in the additional paid-in surplus account. The 2019 income statement showed an interest expense of $96,000 and the company paid out $149,000 in cash dividends during 2019. The firm’s net capital spending for 2019 was $1,000,000, and the firm reduced its net working capital investment by $129,000.
Required:
What was the firm's 2019 operating cash flow, or OCF?
Answer:
606,000
Explanation:
Operating cash flow (OCF) is a measure of the amount of cash generated by a company's normal business operations. Operating cash flow indicates whether a company can generate sufficient positive cash flow to maintain and grow its operations, otherwise, it may require external financing for capital expansion
Operating Cashflow = Cashflow from assets + Net capital spending + Change in Net working capital
Operating Cashflow =(-265,000) + (1,000,000) + (-129,000)
Operating Cashflow = 606,000
Working
New borrowings = Long term borrowings (2019) - Long term borrowings (2018)
New borrowings = 1,620,000 - 1,420,000
New borrowings = 200,000
Cash flow to creditors = Interest expense - new borrowings
Cash flow to creditors = 96,000 - 200,000
Cash flow to creditors = 104,000
New equity = ((Common stock(2019) + additional paid in surplus(2019)) - (Common stock(2018) + additional paid in surplus(2018))
New equity = ($154,000 + $2,990,000) - ($144,000 + $2,690,000)
New equity = 3,144,000 - 2,834,000
New equity = 310,000
Cashflow to stockholders = Dividend (2019) - new equity
Cashflow to stockholders = 149,000 - 310,000
Cashflow to stockholder = -161,000
Cashflow from assets = Cashflow to creditors + cashflow to stockolders
Cashflow from assets = (-104,000) + ( - 161,000)
Cashflow from assets = -265,000
Federated Fabrications leased a tooling machine on January 1, 2021, for a three-year period ending December 31, 2023. The lease agreement specified annual payments of $48,000 beginning with the first payment at the beginning of the lease, and each December 31 through 2022. The company had the option to purchase the machine on December 30, 2023, for $57,000 when its fair value was expected to be $72,000, a sufficient difference that exercise seems reasonably certain. The machine's estimated useful life was six years with no salvage value. Federated was aware that the lessor’s implicit rate of return was 10%.
Required:
a. Calculate the amount Federated should record as a right-of-use asset and lease liability for this finance lease.
b. Prepare an amortization schedule that describes the pattern of interest expense for Federated over the lease term.
c. Prepare the appropriate entries for Federated from the beginning of the lease through the end of the lease term.
Answer:
All requirements solved
Explanation:
we can calculate the right of use asset and lease liability by determining the present value of all future cash flows and after calculating present values sum them up
Requirement 1: Right of use asset and lease liability
Present value (year 0) = 48,000 / (1+10%)^0 = 48,000
Present value (year 1) = 48,000 x 1/(1+10%)^1
Present value (year 1) = 48,000 x 0.909 = 43,636
Present value (year 2) = 48,000 x 1/(1+10%)^2
Present value (year 2) = 48,000 x 0.826 = 39,670
Present value (year 3) = 57,000 x 1/(1+10%)^3
Present value (year 3) = 57,000 x 0.751 = 42,825
Total present value = 48,000 + 43,636 + 39,670 + 42,825
Total present value = 174,131
Right of use asset and lease liability = 174,131
Requirement 2: Amortization schedule

Shenandoah Skies is the name of an oil painting by artist Kara Lee. In each of the following cases, determine the amount and character of the taxpayer’s gain or loss on sale of the painting.
A. The taxpayer is Kara Lee, who sold her painting to the Reller Gallery for $6,000.
B. The taxpayer is the Reller Gallery, who sold the painting purchased from Kara to a regular customer for $10,000.
C. The taxpayer is Lollard Inc., the regular customer that purchased the painting from the Reller Gallery. Lollard displayed the painting in the lobby of its corporate headquarters until it sold Shenandoah Skies to a collector from Dallas. The collector paid $45,000 for the painting.
Answer:
a. Kara Lee is the painter so the painting is simply part of her normal business operations in selling it.
Amount is $6,000 and this is a sale.
b. Taxpayer is Reller Gallery who sold the painting as part of their normal business operations.
Profit on Sale = Amount sold - Amount purchased
= 10,000 - 6,000
= $4,000
Amount is $4,000 and the nature is ordinary business income.
c. Lollard Inc sold this painting even though it is not part of their normal operations.
This is therefore a gain.
Gain = 45,000 - 10,000
= $35,000
Amount is $35,000 and is a Capital Gain.

An individual has $2000 in physical assets, and $600 in cash initially. This person faces the following loss distribution to the wealth. Full insurance is available at $600
Probability Loss
0.5 0
0.1 200
0.2 400
0.1 1000
0.1 2000
The Individual can also buy partial insurance with i. a $200 deductible, or ii. 75% coinsurance, or iii. Upper limit on coverage, with the limit being $1000. The premium on each partial coverage policy is $450.
Required:
Provide a ranking of the four types of policies for the individual, in terms of preference if the preference function is given by U(FW) = LN(1+FW), where FW is final wealth of the individual.
Answer with Explanation:
Probability Expected Loss Loss Forecast
0.5 0 0
0.1 200 20
0.2 400 80
0.1 1000 100
0.1 2000 200
1.00 Total 400
Now,
A. Final Wealth with no Insurance = Physical Assets of the person + Cash Assets - Total Loss Forecast
By putting values, we have:
Final Wealth with no Insurance = $2,000 + $600 - $400 = $2,200
B. For Full insurance, we will not consider expected loss because we will receive Insurance Premium instead:
Final Wealth with Full Insurance = Physical Assets + Cash Assets - Insurance Premium
By putting values, we have:
Final Wealth with Full Insurance = $2,000 + $600 - $600 = $2,000
C. Final Wealth with Partial Insurance and $200 deductibles = Physical Assets + Cash Assets - Insurance Premium For Partial Coverage - Deductible
By putting values, we have:
Final Wealth with Partial Insurance and $200 deductibles = $2,000 + $600 - $450 - $200 = $1,950
D. Final Wealth with 75% Co-insurance = Physical Assets + Cash Assets - Insurance Premium - Co-payment
By putting values, we have:
Final Wealth with 75% Co-Insurance = $2,000 + $600 - $450 - (75% * $400)
= $1,850
E. Final Wealth with Partial Insurance and $1,000 Upper Limit = Physical Assets + Cash Assets - Insurance Premium - Maximum Loss Expected
By putting values, we have:
= $2,000 + $600 - $450 - (Probability 0.1 * $2,000) = $1950
From the above, we can say that the best option here in descending order is as under:
1. A. Final Wealth with no Insurance
2. B. With Full insurance
3. C. Final Wealth with Partial Insurance and $200 deductibles & E. Final Wealth with Partial Insurance and $1,000 Upper Limit
4. E. Final Wealth with Partial Insurance and $1,000 Upper Limit
The company evaluates all projects by applying the IRR Rule. If the appropriate interest rate is 9%, should the company accept this project?
Answer: The project should be accepted.
Explanation:
The Internal Rate of Revenue is used to evaluate projects before they are accepted. It is a rate that equates the Net Present Value of cashflows to zero.
If the IRR is higher than the Required return then the Project will be accepted because it means that NPV will be higher than zero. The reverse is true.
Given the cashflows in the question, the IRR is;
= 18.8% according to Excel.
With the IRR higher than the required return of 8%, the project should be accepted.

To allocate overhead, we need to use the following formula:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Setting up= 38.5*83= 3,195.5
Processing= 86.62*74= 6,409.88
Assembling products= 7.33*702= 5,145.66
Total allocated overhead= $14,751.04
Composing powerful paragraphs is essential when striving for clear communication. Familiarize yourself with basic paragraph elements, various paragraph patterns, and strategies for building coherence.
Use the following paragraphs to answer the questions that follow.
Paragraph A: Last week, three of our Xcite executives closed a lucrative merger deal with Editionplus. The merger will add more than 500 accounts to our business and will increase our profits by 39 percent in less than a year. Additionally, the executives met with several Editionplus product designers and agreed on three new computer prototypes that we will produce during the next five years. This means we will expand our business to both Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
Paragraph B: Employee reaction has been mixed about our recent plans to expand to Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Many Xcite employees are concerned that the Los Angeles site will not have the same relaxed corporate environment as the current site. However, this is not the case: The relaxed corporate environment at the San Francisco site will be replicated in Los Angeles. The culture we have developed works for the company and our employees, and we don't plan to change it. Human resources executives are already interviewing San Francisco employees so they can capture and replicate the culture with ease.
Paragraph C: The leadership at the Xcite San Francisco site has been phenomenal during the last ten years. Everyone in senior-level positions has worked his or her way up the corporate ladder and has contributed greatly to the company's success. This team has increased our profits by 6 percent, expanded office space, hired additional IT support, and strengthened our IT infrastructure. These are just a few of this leadership team's many accomplishments. In the next two months, a new leadership team will be formed for the Los Angeles site. This team will consist of transferred employees from the San Francisco site. We will be offering many of you a chance to be part of this move. Additional training will be required for all who are transferring, and moving costs will not be covered. Xcite looks forward to opening another location with excellent products, high profits, and 100 percent employee and customer satisfaction.

At a local business school, there is a toasted submarine sandwich process that uses a conveyor-fed oven. ( See picture below) Alice is the sole operator of the sub making process. In the first step of the process, she spends 2 minutes putting various ingredients in the sub. Then, she puts the sub on a conveyor belt and, over a period of 12 minutes, the conveyor moves the sub from the beginning of the oven to the end of the oven, fully toasting it. After the sub comes out of the oven, Alice spends 1 minute slicing the sandwich and putting it in a box. At most, 5 subs can fit in the oven at once. The toasting time in the oven does not depend on the number of subs in the oven.
Required:
a. Draw a process-flow chart for the sandwich-making process.
b. Calculate the hourly capacity of this sandwich-making process.
c. Suppose another employee is hired to do the slicing and boxing, and Zeynep now only loads the sandwiches with the right ingredients. What is the hourly capacity of this process with the additional employee?
Answer:
b. 20 sandwiches
c. 25 sandwiches
Explanation:
1. I added this diagram of the flow chart as an attachment
2.
Hourly capacity of sandwich making process:
Time it makes to 1 sandwich: 2 + 12 + 1 = 15
The time alice spends when making one sandwich = 2 + 1 = 3
oven uses 12 minutes to process one sandwich, so in 12 minutes, alice can can make 12/3 sandwiches = 4
The Oven can take 5 subs at a time,
So in one hour, the making process
= 60/3 = 20 sandwiches
3.
To calculate Hourly capacity with additional employee:
Alice takes 2 minutes
Additional employees takes 1 minute
Oven uses 12 minutes to make one sandwich
It's only after every 2 minutes Alice can put one sandwich. The oven can take only 5 sandwiches.
So in an hour:
Since oven can take 5
Sandwiches at a time, therefore one sandwich takes,
12 / 5 = 2.4 minutes.
In 1 hour number we have number of processed sandwich as
60 / 2.4 = 25
At hourly capacity with additional employees we have 25 sandwiches

University Printers has two service departments Maintenance and Personnel and two operating departments Printing and Developing. Management has decided to allocate maintenance costs on the basis of machine-hours in each department and personnel costs on the basis of labor-hours worked by the employees in each.
The following data appear in the company records for the current period:
Maintenance Personnel Printing Developing
Machine-hours ? 455 455 2,590
Labor-hours 315 ? 294 1,491
Department direct cost 11,000 $23,000 $25,000 $23,000
Required: Allocate the service department costs using the reciprocal method. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations.
Answer:
Machine hour percentages -Allocation of Maintenance Costs
455 + 455 + 2,590 = 3,500 total machine hrs
Personnel = 455 / 3,500 = 13%
Printing = 455 / 3,500 = 13%
Developing = 2,590 / 3,500 = 74%
Labor hr. percentages--Allocation of Personnel costs
315 + 294 + 1,491 = 2,100 total labor hrs.
Maintenance = 315 / 2,100 = 15%
Printing = 294 / 2,100 = 14%
Developing = 1,491 / 2,100 = 71%

A financial instrument just paid the investor $100 last year. If the cash flow is expected to last forever and increase each year at 3%, and with a discount rate of 8%, what should be the price that you are willing to pay for this instrument
Answer:
Price willing to pay = $2,060
Explanation:
Given:
Cash flow paid = $100
Growth rate (g) = 3% = 0.03
Discount rate (d) = 8% = 0.08
Find:
Price willing to pay
Computation:
Price willing to pay = [(100)(1+0.03)] / [0.08-0.03]
Price willing to pay = 103 / 0.05
Price willing to pay = $2,060

The owner of a greenhouse and nursery is considering whether to spend $6,000 to acquire the licensing rights to grow a new variety of rosebush, which she could then sell for $6 each. Per-unit variable cost would be $3. How many rosebushes would she have to produce and sell in order to break even
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 2,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed costs= $6,000
Selling price= $6 each
Unitary variable cost= $3
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 6,000 / 3
Break-even point in units= 2,000
