Answer:
C. promoting a new product.
Explanation:
A foreign direct investment (FDI) can be defined as an investment made by an individual or business entity (investor) into an investment market (industry) located in another country. The investor here, shares a different country of origin from the country where his investment is located.
When establishing a foreign direct investment, investors are required to consider some basic entry decisions such as free market, political stability, low inflation rates, pioneering costs etc.
In a foreign investment, pioneering cost arises because the business investment differs from that in the firm's domestic market and such it is necessary that, the firm dedicate a good deal of time, money (expenses) and efforts to learning and adapting to the market rules, policies and processes.
Hence, an example of a pioneering cost is the cost of promoting a new product, cost of enlightening and education of customers etc.

Broussard is already at full capacity, so its assets must grow at the same rate as projected sales. At the end of 2019, current liabilities were $1.4 million, consisting of $450,000 of accounts payable, $500,000 of notes payable, and $450,000 of accruals. The after-tax profit margin is forecasted to be 4%, and the forecasted payout ratio is 45%. Use the AFN equation to forecast Broussard's additional funds needed for the coming year. Enter your answer in dollars. For example, an answer of $1.2 million should be entered as $1,200,000.
Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
Answer: $412,600
Explanation:
AFN = Increase in assets - Increase in Liabilities - Addition to Retained Earnings
Increase in Assets
= 5,000,000 * 15%
= $750,000
Increase in Liabilities
For liabilities use only the Accounts payable and Accruals.
= (450,000 + 450,000) * 15%
= $135,000
Additional to Retained Earnings
= After tax Profit * ( 1 - Payout ratio)
= (9,200,000 * 4%) * ( 1 - 45%)
= $202,400
= 750,000 - 135,000 - 202,400
= $412,600

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%

A company reports accounting data in its financial statements. This data is used for financial analyses that provide insights into a company’s strengths, weaknesses, performance in specific areas, and trends in performance. These analyses are often used to compare a company’s performance to that of its competitors, or to its past or expected future performance. Such insight helps managers and analysts improve their decision making. Most decision makers and analysts use five groups of ratios to examine the different aspects of a company’s performance. Indicate whether each of the following statements regarding financial ratios are true or false?
a. The ratios provide an accurate and thorough representation of the Chinese company’s performance.b. The analysis likely includes incorrect and misleading conclusions.
Answer:
a. False
b. True
Explanation:
Ratio analysis is a very useful method of analyzing a company however it is not necessarily very in-depth. If a company seems to be performing below the industrial average, it would be prudent to check the reasons why the company is doing so.
The advantage of ratio analysis in this instance is that it would help point you in the right direction to know what accounts to analyze more intensely to find out why the Chinese company is not performing up to standard.
Ratio analysis are good but they do not always provide an accurate and thorough representation of a company’s performance therefore relying solely on ratios will lead to an analysis that likely includes incorrect and misleading conclusions.

Amy and Mitchell share equally in the profits, losses, and capital of the accrual basis AM Products LLC. The LLC does not need to report financial information to any third parties, so capital accounts are determined using tax rules (rather than GAAP). Amy is a managing member of the LLC (treated as a general partner) and is a U.S. person. At the beginning of the current tax year, Amy's capital account has a balance of $960,000, and the LLC has debts of $624,000 payable to unrelated parties. The debts are recourse to the LLC, but neither of the LLC members has personally guaranteed them. Assume that all LLC debt is shared equally between the partners. The following information about AM's operations for the current year is obtained from the LLC's records.
Ordinary income $900,000
W-2 wages to employees 200,000
Depreciation expense 300,000
Interest income from bond 4,000
Long-term capital loss 6,000
Short-term capital gain 12,000
Charitable contribution 4,000
Cash distribution to Amy 20,000
Unadjusted basis of partnership depreciable property 1,600,000
Year-end LLC debt payable to unrelated parties is $140,000.
Required:
What income, gains, losses, and deductions does Amy report on her income tax return?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Share of ordinary income:
= (Ordinary income - Wages - Depreciation)/2
= (900,000 - 200,000 - 300,000)/2
= 400,000/2
= 200,000
Share of net short term capital gain
= (12,000 - 6,000) × 50%
= 6,000 × 0.5
= 3,000
Share of interest income
= 4000 × 50%
= 4000 × 0.5
= 2000
Share of charitable contribution deduction
= 4000 × 50%
= 4000 × 0.5
= 2000
You are considering starting a company that manufactures racing bicycles. You are planning on financing your firm 40% equity and 60% debt. You estimate that your upfront costs will be $5M, and that you will earn an EBIT of $1M per year for the next 12 years. Lightning Bolt Bikes makes racing bicycles similar to the ones that you wish to manufacture. They have a CAPM equity beta of 1.9 and a debt to equity ratio of 0.7. The tax rate for both firms is 35%, the riskless rate is 3%, and the expected return on the S&P500 is 15%. Cost of Debt is 6%
Part A (5 points). What is the asset beta of Lightning Bolt Bikes?
Part B (5 points). What is your unlevered cost of equity?
Part C (5 points). What is your firm’s equity beta?
Part D (10 points). What is your firm’s weighted average cost of capital?
Part E (5 points). What is the NPV of your proposed bicycle company using the WACC method?
Answer and Explanation:
1. Asset beta measures company's risk or volatility of return in assets without the effect of leverage financing or debt.
Asset beta= Equity beta / 1+(1-tax rate) *debt / equity
2. Unlevered cost of equity measures the returns on assets without the effect of debt
Unlevered cost of equity = Risk free return + Asset Beta * (Expected market return - Risk free return)
3. Equity beta measures security prices' volatility to change in the market
4. Weighted average cost of capital is the weighted average cost or average cost of all capital sources employed by the company in financing it's assets
Weighted Average cost of capital = Cost of Equity * proportion of equity + Cost of debt after tax rate * proportion of debt
Expected return in CAPM= Risk free return +asset beta *market return -risk free return
The following data pertain to the Oneida Restaurant Supply Company for the year just ended.
Budgeted sales revenue $205,000
Actual manufacturing overhead 336,000
Budgeted machine hours (based on practical capacity) 8,000
Budgeted direct-labor hours (based on practical capacity) 20,000
Budgeted direct-labor rate $14
Budgeted manufacturing overhead $364,000
Actual machine hours 11,000
Actual direct-labor hours 18,000
Actual direct-labor rate $15
Required:
a. Compute the firm's predetermined overhead rate for the year using each of the following common cost drivers: (a) machine hours, (b) direct-labor hours, and (c) direct-labor dollars.
b. Calculate the over-applied or under-applied overhead for the year using each of the cost drivers listed above.
Answer:
Predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted manufacturing rate/Allocation base
a. Machine hours
= 364,000 / 8,000
= $45.5
Predetermined overhead rate = $45.5
Direct-labor hours
= 364,000 / 20,000
= $18.2
Predetermined overhead rate = $18.2
Direct-labor dollars
Budgeted labor hours = 20,000 * $14 = $280,000
Predetermined overhead rate = 364,000 / $280,000 = $1.3
b. Machine hours
Manufacturing overhead applied = Actual machine hours * Predetermined overhead rate = $45.5 * 11,000 = $500,500
Over/Under applied overhead = 336,000 - 500,500
Over-applied overhead = $164,500
Direct-labor hours
Manufacturing overhead applied = Actual direct-labor hours * Predetermined overhead rate = $18.2 * 18,000 = $327,600
Over/Under applied overhead = 336,000 - 327,600
Under-applied overhead = $8400
Direct-labor dollars
Manufacturing overhead applied = Actual direct-labor hours * Actual direct-labor rate * Predetermined overhead rate
Manufacturing overhead applied = 18,000 * $15 * $1.3 = 351,000
Over/Under applied overhead = 336,000 - 351,000
Over-applied overhead = $15,000
we know that
Predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted manufacturing rate ÷ Allocation base
a. Machine hours
= 364,000 ÷8,000
= $45.5
Predetermined overhead rate = $45.5
Direct-labor hours
= 364,000 ÷ 20,000
= $18.2
Predetermined overhead rate = $18.2
Direct-labor dollars
Budgeted labor hours = 20,000 × $14 = $280,000
Predetermined overhead rate = 364,000 ÷ $280,000 = $1.3
b. Machine hours
Manufacturing overhead applied = Actual machine hours × Predetermined overhead rate
= $45.5 × 11,000
= $500,500
So,
Over/Under applied overhead = 336,000 - 500,500
Over-applied overhead = $164,500
Direct-labor hours
Manufacturing overhead applied = Actual direct-labor hours × Predetermined overhead rate
= $18.2 × 18,000
= $327,600
Over/Under applied overhead = 336,000 - 327,600
Under-applied overhead = $8400
Direct-labor dollars
Manufacturing overhead applied = Actual direct-labor hours × Actual direct-labor rate × Predetermined overhead rate
= 18,000 × $15 × $1.3
= 351,000
Over/Under applied overhead = 336,000 - 351,000
Over-applied overhead = $15,000

Rachel pushed very hard to go with Project A rather than Project B. There have been several cost overruns, the project is two weeks beyond its projected finish date, and the technology just isn't working out as planned. Rachel increases the funding for the third time and hires three new designers to help revamp the look of the product. Rachel is engaging in _____.
Answer: escalation of commitment
Explanation:
Escalation of commitment is when an individual or firm chooses an option which tends to be unsuccessful but the individual or firm still continues with the project because there has been investment which has already been made on it.
From the question, we are told that Rachel pushed very hard to go with Project A rather than Project B. From the information given, despite the fact that project A has been unsuccessful, Rachel continued with it and invested more in it rather than changing or leaving it for project B. This shows that Rachel is engaging in escalation of commitment.
Sparky Corporation uses the weighted-average method of process costing. The following information is available for February in its Molding Department:
Units:
Beginning Inventory: 30,000 units, 100% complete as to materials and 55% complete as to conversion.
Units started and completed: 120,000.
Units completed and transferred out: 150,000.
Ending Inventory: 32,500 units, 100% complete as to materials and 30% complete as to conversion.
Costs:
Costs in beginning Work in Process - Direct Materials: $48,000.
Costs in beginning Work in Process - Conversion: $53,850.
Costs incurred in February - Direct Materials: $328,050.
Costs incurred in February - Conversion: $604,150.
Required:
Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of materials.
Answer:
Cost per equivalent unit of material = $2.06
Explanation:
Total cost of material= Cost of material in beginning WIP + Cost of material incurred in February
= $48,000 + $328,050
= $376,050
Equivalent units = Number of units completed and transferred+ Ending inventory
= 150,000 units + 32,500 units
= 182,500 units
Cost per equivalent unit of material = Total cost of direct material / Equivalent units
= $376,050 / 182,500 units
= $2.06
At $0.31 per bushel, the daily supply for wheat is 306 bushels, and the daily demand is 459 bushels. When the price is raised to $0.79 per bushel, the daily supply increases to 546 bushels, and the daily demand decreases to 439 bushels. Assume that the price-supply and price-demand equations are linear. a. Find the price-supply equation.
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
a) Find the price supply equation. b) Find the price demand equation. c) Find the equilibrium price and quantity.
Solution:
a) A linear equation is in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope, y is a dependent variable, x is an independent variable, b is value of y at x = 0.
Let p represent the price and q represent the quantity. Hence we have the points (306, 0.31), (546, 0.79)
Using the formula:
[tex]p-p_1=\frac{p_2-p_1}{q_2-q_1}(q-q_1)\\ \\p-0.31=\frac{0.79-0.31}{546-306} (q-306)\\\\p=0.002q-0.302[/tex]
b) Let p represent the price and q represent the demand. Hence we have the points (459, 0.31), (439, 0.79)
Using the formula:
[tex]p-p_1=\frac{p_2-p_1}{q_2-q_1}(q-q_1)\\ \\p-0.31=\frac{0.79-0.31}{439-459} (q-459)\\\\p=-0.024q+11.326[/tex]
c) At equilibrium, price supply equation = price supply equation
0.002q - 0.302 = -0.024q + 11.326
0.002q + 0.024q = 11.326 + 0.302
0.026q = 11.628
q = 447.23 bushels
p = 0.002q - 0.302 = 0.002(447.23) - 0.302
p = $1.2
If there is a technological advance that lowers the cost of producing x-ray machines, then we can say that the
Answer:
C) quantity supplied of those machines will go up.
Explanation:
the options are missing:
A ) quantity demanded for those machines will increase.
B) demand for those machines will shift right.
C) quantity supplied of those machines will go up.
D) quantity supplied of those machines will decrease.
If production costs decrease, the supply curve will shift to the right, increasing the total quantity supplied while decreasing the sales price. Advances in technology increase productivity, which allows companies to supply a higher amount of goods at lower prices, which in turn increases the total quantity demanded for these goods.

5. Property tax payments are typically_numerous_____in number.
Explanation:
Even Federal and State governments and business organizations apply the matching principle of the generally accepted accounting principles. The principle requires that revenues are matched to the expenses that are incurred in generating them and vice versa. The purpose is to present a balance view of financial performance and position of the reporting entity. For this reason, who expenses may not be actually paid for and they are recognized while some that have been paid for are not. The same rule applies to the revenue side.

You have just been hired as a financial analyst for Barrington Industries. Unfortunately, company headquarters (where all of the firm's records are kept) has been destroyed by fire. So, your first job will be to recreate the firm's cash flow statement for the year just ended. The firm had $100,000 in the bank at the end of the prior year, and its working capital accounts except cash remained constant during the year. It earned $5 million in net income during the year but paid $750,000 in dividends to common shareholders. Throughout the year, the firm purchased $5.4 million of machinery that was needed for a new project. You have just spoken to the firm's accountants and learned that annual depreciation expense for the year is $450,000; however, the purchase price for the machinery represents additions to property, plant, and equipment before depreciation. Finally, you have determined that the only financing done by the firm was to issue long-term debt of $1 million at a 5% interest rate. The data has been collected in the Microsoft Excel Online file below. Open the spreadsheet and perform the required analysis to answer the question below.
What was the firm's end-of-year cash balance? Recreate the firm's cash flow statement to arrive at your answer. Write out your answer completely. For example, 5 million should be entered as 5,000,000. Round your answer to the nearest dollar, if necessary.
Answer:
200,000
Explanation:
A cash flow statement is a financial statement that summarizes the amount of cash and cash equivalents entering and leaving a company. The cash flow statement measures how well a company manages its cash position, meaning how well the company generates cash to pay its debt obligations and fund its operating expenses.
Cash flow from operating activities
Net Income 5,000,000
Less Depreciation (450,000)
Cashflow from operations 5,450,000
Cash flow from investing activities
Purchase of Fixed assets 5,400,,000
Cash flow from investing activities
Issue of long term debt 1,000,000
Dividend paid (750,000)
Cash generated from investing activities 250,000
Change in cash 300,000
Beginning balance 100,000
Closing balance 200,000
The premium on a three-year insurance policy expiring on December 31, 20x11, was paid in total on January 1, 20x9. The original payment was initially debited to a prepaid asset account. The appropriate journal entry has been recorded on December 31, 20x9. The balance in the prepaid asset account on December 31, 20x9 should be Select one: a. The same as the original payment b. The same as it would have been if the original payment had been debited initially to an expense account c. Higher than if the original payment had been debited initially to an expense account d. Zero Check
Answer:
b. The same as it would have been if the original payment had been debited initially to an expense account
Explanation:
We can use an example to explain this:
original journal entry to record a 3 year insurance policy on January 1 is:
Dr Prepaid insurance 3,600
Cr Cash 3,600
Adjusting entry on December 31
Dr Insurance expense 1,200
Cr Prepaid insurance 1,200
balance of prepaid insurance = $3,600 - $1,200 = $2,400
If instead of recording prepaid insurance on January 1, you recorded insurance expense:
Dr Insurance expense 3,600
Cr Cash 3,600
Adjusting entry on December 31
Dr Prepaid insurance 2,400
Cr Insurance expense 2,400
balance of prepaid insurance = $2,400
Pooling has been used for a long time by businesses as a way to reduce risk. Imagine that years ago a small paint factory employed 200 people, each with an annual salary of $600/year. The factory owner knew from experience that 4 percent of workers were being injured each year, becoming unable to work. The factory owner decided to set up a fund to pay injured workers three months of salary to help their families and build good will with employees. The owner did not contribute to the injury fund. The workers themselves contributed a fixed amount each year to fund the plan. Answer the following questions (1 point each):_____.
1. How much did the owner need to collect from employees in total to fully fund the plan each year?
2. How much did each employee have to contribute each year to fully fund the plan?
3. What percentage of salary did each employee contribute to have an injury fund like this?
Answer:
1. Amount required to fund the plan = % of injured*Total employees* Annual salary
Amount required to fund the plan = 4%*200 people* $600
Amount required to fund the plan = $4800
2. Amount contributed by each employee = Amount required to fund the plan / Number of employees
Amount contributed by each employee = $4800/200
Amount contributed by each employee = $24
3. Percentage of salary = Amount contributed by each employee / Salary
Percentage of salary = 24/600
Percentage of salary = 0.04
Percentage of salary = 4%
The partnership of Angel Investor Associates began operations on January 1, 20Y5, with contributions from two partners as follows:
Dennis Overton $180,000
Ben Testerman 120,000
The following additional partner transactions took place during the year:
1. In early January, Randy Campbell is admitted to the partnership by contributing $75,000 cash for a 20% interest.
2. Net income of $150,000 was earned in 20Y5. In addition, Dennis Overton received a salary allowance of $40,000 for the year. The three partners agree to an income-sharing ratio equal to their capital balances after admitting Campbell.
3. The partners' withdrawals are equal to half of the increase in their capital balances from salary allowance and income.
Required:
Prepare a statement of partnership equity for the year ended December 31, 20Y5.
Answer:
450000
Explanation:
The statement of partners' capital shows the changes in each partner's capital account for the year or period being reported on. It has the same format as the statement of owner's equity except that it includes a column for each partner and a total column for the company rather than just one column. The statement starts with the beginning capital balance, followed by the amounts of investments made, the share of net income or loss, and withdrawals made during the reporting period to determine the capital balance at the end of the period.

1. Calculate the sales commission per unit sold. If required, round your answers to the nearest dollar. Use rounded answers in subsequent computations.
Answer: $20
Explanation:
The sales commission is 6% and the selling price per unit is $340.
The Sales commission per unit saved therefore is;
= 340 * 6%
= $20.40
= $20
Tom and Betsy, who are married filing jointly, reported a standard deduction of $24,000 on their 2018 tax return. They paid $500 to the state for income taxes in 2018. In 2019, they received a $125 refund of state taxes paid in 2018. What is the amount that Tom and Betsy need to report on their 2019 tax return?
Answer:
$0
Explanation:
Since Tom and Betsy didn't itemize their deductions in 2018 (they chose the standard deduction), they didn't include the state taxes in their tax filing. Since the state taxes were not used by Tom and Betsy to reduce their federal income taxes, then any refund will not be included in their current income. Only if state taxes are used to lower federal taxes, do taxpayers need to include any refund.
If the amount of credit is 300,000 how much is the discount if the debtor is given a credit term of 2/10 N/30?show your
Answer:
6,000
Explanation:
In credit sales, 2/10 Net 30 means that the seller has offered the customer a trade discount. 2/10 net 30 is a conditional discount available if payment is made in 10 days. It's a 2% discount should the customer pay in 10 days, if not so, the full amount is due within 30 days.
The discount amount for 300,000 is 2 percent of 300,000.
=2/100 x 300,000
=0.02 x 300,000
=6,000
a worker produced four components during an 8-hour shift in which he earned $96. What is his labor cost per unit?
Answer:
$24
Explanation:
Labor cost per unit is the ratio of total labor expense for a period of time divided by the total number of units produced during that period of time. It is given by the formula:
Labor cost per unit = Total money earned during a specified period / number of components produced.
Hence using the formula above, the labor cost per unit of the worker is gotten to be:
Labor cost per unit = $96 / 4 components = $24
You work for a marketing firm that has just landed a contract with Run-of-the-Mills to help them promote three of their products: splishy splashies, frizzles, and cannies. All of these products have been on the market for some time, but, to entice better sales, Run-of-the-Mills wants to try a new advertisement that will market two of the products that consumers will likely consume together. As a former economics student, you know that complements are typically consumed together while substitutes can take the place of other goods.
Run-of-the-Mills provides your marketing firm with the following data: When the price of splishy splashies decreases by 5%, the quantity of frizzles sold increases by 4% and the quantity of cannies sold decreases by 5%. Your job is to use the cross-price elasticity between splishy splashies and the other goods to determine which goods your marketing firm should advertise together.
Complete the first column of the following table by computing the cross-price elasticity between splishy splashies and flopsicles, and then between splishy splashies and kipples. In the second column, determine if splishy splashies are a complement to or a substitute for each of the goods listed. Finally, complete the final column by indicating which good you should recommend marketing with splishy splashies.
Relative to Splishy Splashies
Cross-Price Elasticity of Demand Complement or Substitute Recommend Marketing with Splishy Splashies
Flopsicles
Kipples
Answer:
cross-price elasticity formula = % change in quantity demanded of good X / % change in price of good Y
cross-price elasticity of demand between splishy splashies and frizzles (or is it flopsicles?) = 4% / -5% = -0.8, complement goods. When the cross price elasticity is negative, then the goods complement each other.
cross-price elasticity of demand between splishy splashies and cannies (or is it kippies?) = -5% / -5% = 1, substitute goods. When the cross price elasticity is positive, then the goods substitute each other.
If you are about to launch a marketing campaign for splishy splashies, then you should include frizzles in it.
