You are a management consultant with McKenzie and Company. You specialize in helping companies accurately identify and acquire the appropriate production inputs for their operations. Based on your extensive experience, you know that most production inputs fall into one or more of the following categories: materials and labor resources or information resources. However, the degree to which of these resources will be the dominant input depends on the type of business. In order to streamline your future projects, you have decided to put together a list of business types and their dominant category of production inputs. For each of the business types listed below, indicate which of the two production input categories would be most dominant for that business type.
a. Gold mining company
b. An online news publisher
c. Commercial bank
d. Automobile manufacturer
e. Accounting and bookkeeping firm
f. Food processing company
Answer:
a. Gold mining company - Materials and Labor resources
Gold mining company would need miners and mining equipment to to get to the gold so would fall under Materials and labor resources.
b. An online news publisher - Information resources
News is information on the current affairs of the world so the input here would fall under Online news publisher.
c. Commercial bank - Information resources
Banks need to know who they are giving loans to and this involves a lot of risk assessment which is information so this falls under information resources.
d. Automobile manufacturer - Materials and Labor resources
In an automobile manufacturer, the inputs would be the people assembling the cars and the materials needed to build the cars so this is under Materials and Labor.
e. Accounting and bookkeeping firm - Information resources
Accounting firms compile information they are given to make coherent reports of financial activity in a period so the input is informational.
f. Food processing company - Materials and Labor
Food processing requires inputs of food materials for processing and will need labor to do so. They can therefore be classified under Materials and Labor.

The CIS Department at Tiny College maintains the Free Access to Current Technology (FACT) library of e-books. FACT is a collection of current technology e-books for use by faculty and students. Agreements with the publishers allow patrons to electronically check out a book, which gives them exclusive access to the book online through the FACT website, but only one patron at a time can have access to a book. A book must have at least one author but can have many. An author must have written at least one book to be included in the system but may have written many. A book may have never been checked out but can be checked out many times by the same patron or different patrons over time. Because all faculty and staff in the department are given accounts at the online library, a patron may have never checked out a book or they may have checked out many books over time. To simplify determining which patron currently has a given book checked out, a redundant relationship between BOOK and PATRON is maintained.

An error understated Power Corporation's December 31, 2018, ending inventory by $54,000. What effect will this error have on total assets and net income for 2018?
Answer:
•The total Assets will be under stated by $54,000 in 2018.
•The Net income will also be understated by $54,000 in 2018.
Explanation:
In computing income statement, beginning inventory is usually added to net purchases, then minus ending inventory to arrive at cost of goods sold.
The cost of goods sold can also be computed as ;
Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + Net purchases - Ending inventory. What the above means is that if ending inventory is understated, then the cost of goods sold will be overstated.
The gross profit is arrived at by deducting cost of goods sold from net sales. So, if cost of goods sold is overstated, then the gross profit will be understated by same amount, whereas an overstated gross profit , will also over state net profit.
Inventory is an asset. When an inventory is understated, then the overall asset would also be understated by same amount.

On June 30, 2021, Georgia-Atlantic, Inc. leased a warehouse equipment from IC Leasing Corporation. The lease agreement calls for Georgia-Atlantic to make semiannual lease payments of $464,149 over a four-year lease term, payable each June 30 and December 31, with the first payment at June 30, 2021. Georgia-Atlantic's incremental borrowing rate is 8%, the same rate IC uses to calculate lease payment amounts. Amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis at the end of each fiscal year. The fair value of the equipment is $3.2 million. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)Required:1. Determine the present value of the lease payments at June 30, 2021 that Georgia-Atlantic uses to record the right-of-use asset and lease liability.2. What pretax amounts related to the lease would Georgia-Atlantic report in its balance sheet at December 31, 2021?3. What pretax amounts related to the lease would Georgia-Atlantic report in its income statement for the year ended December 31, 2021?(For all requirements, enter your answers in whole dollars and not in millions. Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.)
Answer:
A) = $3,249,995
B) pretax amount for for liability = $2,433,131
Depreciation amount for right of use = = $406,249
C) pretax amount for interest expense = $111,434
pretax amount for amortization expense = $406,249
Explanation:
1) Determining the present value of the lease payments at June 30 2021
semi-annual payments = $464149 for 4 - year lease term
total payments = 2 * 4 = 8
Yearly incremental borrowing = 8%
semi-annual incremental borrowing = 8/2 = 4%
hence present value of the lease payments
= semi annual lease payments * cumulative PV factor of annuity for the period
= $464149 * 7.00205 = $3,249,995
2) Determining The pretax amounts related to the lease would Georgia-Atlantic report in its balance sheet at December 31 2021
first we calculate the pretax amount of liability on 30.06.2021
= present value of lease payments - semi annual lease payments
= $3,249,995 - $464,149 = $2,785,846
next we calculate the Interest expense for 31.12.2021
= pretax amount * semi-annual incremental borrowing
= $2,785,846 * 4% = $111,434
Semiannual lease payment on 31.12.2021 = semiannual lease payment on 30.06.2021 which is = $464,149
Pre tax amount for liability for 31.12.2021
= pretax amount of liability + interest expense - semi annual lease payment
= $2,785,846 + $111,434 - $464,149 = $2,433,131
Depreciation on right to use assets for 2021
= present value of lease payments / 4 * ( 6/12 )
= ($3,249,995 / 4) * (6/12) = $406,249
Pre tax amount of right to use asset to be reported for 2021
= (present value of lease payments) - (depreciation on right to use assets)
= $3,249,995 - $406,249 = $2,843,746
3) Determine pretax amounts related to the lease would Georgia-Atlantic report in its income statement for the year ended December 31, 2021
Pre tax amount of interest expense Georgia Atlantic Inc. reports in its income statement will be
semi-annual lease payments * semi-annual incremental borrowing
= $2,785,846 * 4% = $111,434
Pre tax amount of amortization expenses Georgia Atlantic Inc. reports in its income statement will be
= (present value of lease payments / 4) * (6/12)
= $3,249,995 / 4 * 6/12 = $406,249

How did the recession influence the drug-naming process?
Answer:
Less economically stable countries implemented more pharmaceutical policy changes during the recession than economically stable countries. Unexpectedly, pharmaceutical sales volumes increased in almost all countries, whereas sales values declined, especially in less stable countries.
Hopefully this is right, there wasn't many articles on this topic.
The recession has caused many medications to be reformulated with cheaper ingredients that make them more affordable for the public. This reformulation forced a new name for medicines.
This happened because:
In times of economic recession, the entire economy of the country is deficient.This affects all industries in a very imposing way, as they can be left with poor economic conditions, which promotes a cost cut.One of the ways to promote this cost cut is with the reformulation of products, which start using alternative and cheaper materials in their compositions.This also makes the price of the product more accessible to consumers, since, in periods of recession, the consumer's purchasing power decreases.This reformulation process is very impactful on the pharmaceutical industry, since, in some cases, the change of materials in the composition of medications, forces the name of these medications to be changed, as the formulation is different.

Calculating costs
Rosa is working for a consulting firm making $50,000 per year but considers starting her own consulting company. Rosa has determined that to launch the business, she needs to invest $80,000 of her own funds. The annual cost of running the business will include $50,000 for the rent of the office space, $180,000 for employee wages, and $8,000 for materials and utilities. Rosa plans to manage the business, which means that she will have to quit her current job. Suppose that the interest rate (or rate of return) on investments in the economy is 5%.
Answer:
a. $238,000
b. $292,000
Explanation:
a. Explicit Costs
These are the accounting costs associated with running the business
= Rent + Employee wages + Materials and Utilities
= 50,000 + 180,000 + 8,000
= $238,000
b. Total Cost = Explicit + Implicit Costs
Implicit Costs = Benefits foregone
= 50,000 + (5% * 80,000 if she invests the money instead)
= $54,000
Total cost = 238,000 + 54,000
= $292,000

Answer:
The full question is "The following three defense stocks are to be combined into a stock index in January 2013 (perhaps a portfolio manager believes these stocks are an appropriate benchmark for his or her performance): Price Shares (millions) 1/1/13 1/1/14 1/1/15 Douglas McDonnell 355 $ 86 $ 91 $ 103 Dynamics General 455 55 52 66 International Rockwell 270 84 73 87 a. Calculate the initial value of the index if a price-weighting scheme is used. (Index value) b. What is the rate of return on this index for the year ending December 31, 2013? For the year ending December 31, 2014?"
a. Initial value for Index = Sum of prices / Number of stocks
Initial value for Index = ($86+$55+$84)/3
Initial value for Index = $225/3
Initial value for Index = $75
b. For the year ending December 31, 2013
Index value at the end of 2013 = ($91+$52+$73)/3
Index value at the end of 2013 = $216/3
Index value at the end of 2013 = 72
Rate of Return = (Ending price - Beginning price) / Beginning price
Rate of Return = (72-75)/75
Rate of Return = -3/75
Rate of Return = -0.04
Rate of Return = -4%
For the year ending December 31, 2014
Index value at the end of 2014 = ($103+$66+$87)/3
Index value at the end of 2014 = $256/3
Index value at the end of 2014 = $85.33
Rate of Return = (Ending price - Beginning price) / Beginning price
Rate of Return = (85.33-72)/72
Rate of Return = 13.33/72
Rate of Return = 0.1851
Rate of Return = 18.51%
The Sheridan Inc., a manufacturer of low-sugar, low-sodium, low-cholesterol TV dinners, would like to increase its market share in the Sunbelt. In order to do so, Sheridan has decided to locate a new factory in the Panama City area. Sheridan will either buy or lease a site depending upon which is more advantageous. The site location committee has narrowed down the available sites to the following three very similar buildings that will meet their needs.
Building A: Purchase for a cash price of $612,100, useful life 26 years.
Building B: Lease for 26 years with annual lease payments of $71,490 being made at the beginning of the year.
Building C: Purchase for $655,200 cash. This building is larger than needed; however, the excess space can be sublet for 26 years at a net annual rental of $6,850. Rental payments will be received at the end of each year. The Sheridan Inc. has no aversion to being a landlord.
In which building would you recommend that The Sheridan Inc. locate, assuming a 11% cost of funds?
Answer:
Present value of Building A = $612,000
Present value of Building B = $71,490 + $71,490*Present value of Annuity for n=25,i=11% = $71,490 + $602,070.53 = $673,560.53
Present value of Building C = $655,200 - $6,850*Present value of Annuity for n=26,i=11% = $655,200 - $58,143.20 = $597,056.80
Net Present Value
Building A $612,000
Building B $673,560.53
Building C $597,056.80
Conclusion: The Sherdian Inc. should locate itself in Building C as it has least Net Present Value

MullerB Company’s employees earn vacation time at the rate of 1 hour per 40-hour work period. The vacation pay vests immediately, meaning an employee is entitled to the pay even if employment terminates. During 2018, total wages paid to employees equaled $909,000, including $9,000 for vacations actually taken in 2018, but not including vacations related to 2018 that will be taken in 2019. All vacations earned before 2018 were taken before January 1, 2018. No accrual entries have been made for the vacations.
Required:
Prepare the appropriate adjusting entry for vacations earned but not taken in 2018.
Answer and Explanation:
The journal entry is shown below:-
Vacation benefits expense Dr, $13,500
To Vacation benefits payable $13,500
(Being vacation benefits expense is recorded)
Vacation benefits payable = Actual vacation benefit - Vacation actually taken in 2018 but not includes vacation related to 2018
= (($909,000 - $9,000) × (1 ÷ 40)) - $9,000
= ($900,000 × 0.025) - $9,000
= $13,500
5.85 percent coupon bond with 10 years left to maturity is priced to offer a yield to maturity of 6.7 percent. You believe that in one year, the yield to maturity will be 6.0 percent. What is the change in price the bond will experience in dollars
Answer:
$50.92
Explanation:
10 years 9 years
Nper = 10*2 = 20 9*2 = 18
Rate = 6.7%/2 = 0.0335 6%/2 = 0.03
PMT = 1000*5.85%/2 = 29.25 1000*5.85%/2 = 29.25
FV = 1000 1000
PV (Price) = -PV(RATE, NPER, PMT, FV)
Price (10 years) = $938.77
Price (9 years) = $989.68
If interest rate decrease%. Change in price of bond = $989.68 - $938.77 = $50.92
Discuss MSOs corporate governance. Has the company been able to separate the ownership and managerial control
Answer:
The corporate governance of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia MSO has failed.
Explanation:
The reason for failure of corporate governance at MSO was the lack of transparency. The owner of the company was the largest shareholder. There was lack of separation of ownership and control in the company. The management of the company has not been effective in managing the operations and there were lack of internal controls in place.

As in the real world, all the background information on each situation will not be available, and assumptions will need to be made.It is recommended that the exercise be completed before reading the following mat e rial, and then revisited after you have completed the chapter.Name:Date:Part ISTEP 1Make decisions in the following situations. You will not have all the background information about each situation; instead you should make whatever assumptions you feel you would make if you were actually confronted with the decision choices described. Select the decision choice that most closely represents the decision you feel you would make personally. You should choose decision choices even though you can envision other creative solutions that were not included in the exercise.Situation 1. You are taking a very difficult chemistry course, which you must pass to maintain your scholarship and to avoid damaging your application for graduate school. Chemistry is not your strong suit, and because of a just-below-failing average in the course, you must receive a grade of 90 or better in the final examination, which is 2 days away. A janitor who is aware of your plight informs you that he found the master copy of the chemistry final in a trash barrel and saved it. He will make it available to you for a price, which is high, but which you could afford. What would you do?(a) I would tell the janitor thanks, but no thanks.(b) I would report the janitor to the proper officials.(c) I would buy the examination and keep it to myself.(d) I would not buy the examination myself, but I would let some of my friends, who are also flunking the course, know that it is available.
Situation 2. You have been working on some complex analytical data for 2 days now. It seems that each time you think you have them completed, your boss shows up with a new assumption or another "what if" question. If you only had a copy of a new software program for your personal computer, you could plug in the new assumptions and revise the estimates with ease.Then a colleague offers to let you make a copy of some software that is copyrighted. What would you do?(a) I would readily accept my friend’s generous offer and make a copy of the software.(b) I would decline to copy it and plug away manually on the numbers.(c) I would decide to go buy a copy of the software myself for $300 and hope I would be reimbursed by the company in a month or two.(d) I would request another extension on an already overdue project date.Situation 3. Your small manufacturing company is in serious financial difficulty. A large order of your products is ready to be delivered to a key customer, when you discover that the product is simply not right. It will not meet all performance specifications, will cause problems for your customer, and will require rework in the field; but this, you know, will not become evident until after the customer has received and paid for the order. If you do not ship the order and receive the payment as expected, your business may be forced into bankruptcy. And if you delay the shipment or inform the customer of these problems, you may lose the order and also go bankrupt. What would you do?(a) I would not ship the order and place my firm in voluntary bankruptcy.(b) I would inform the customer and declare voluntary bankruptcy.
(c) I would ship the order and inform the customer after I received payment.(d) I would ship the order and not inform the customer.
Answer and Explanation:
Situation 1: a) I would tell the janitor thanks, but no thanks. It would be wrong to cheat in the exam.
Situation 2:(c) I would decide to go buy a copy of the software myself for $300 and hope I would be reimbursed by the company in a month or two. Getting a copy of the software for the price would guarantee that are no copyright infringement problems which would affect the company and my job as well. Management would be happy at my dedication as I am willing to go an extra mile for the company and would likely reimburse me for expenses
situation 3: (b) I would inform the customer and declare voluntary bankruptcy. It is important that I inform the customer and let him know why the shipment didn't go through. Customers appreciate honesty and trustworthiness of sellers. He may be willing to help the company not declare bankruptcy by ordering anyways. However it is more important to not cheat the customer than it is for business to go bankrupt.

True Nutri Inc. sells performance enhancing foods and beverages for athletes and health-conscious people. In a recent product development meeting, Mike suggested that True Nutri Inc. should acquire a new technology developed by One Health Corp. for infusing vitamin and mineral blends into food. He believed it would be easier to acquire the technology directly from One Health Corp. Justin felt that the method of infusing blends into food should be developed within True Nutri Inc. itself. He knows it may take longer but feels that the competitive advantage it would provide was worth the wait. Lara suggested that True Nutri Inc. should use its resources and work jointly with One Health Corp. to develop an entirely new product.
Based on the scenario, which method of acquiring technology does Justin favor?
a. internal development
b. licensing
c. contracted development
d. franchising
e. research partnership
Answer: a. internal development
Explanation:
Internal development is a method of growth and development that is done by using the resources of the company instead of relying on takeovers or acquisitions.
Justin wants True Nutri Inc to develop the tech itself without acquiring it from One Health Corp so he has an Internal Development mindset. Benefits of Internal Development include the development of a competitive advantage and increased efficiency which Justin hopes can benefit the company.

Assume the perpetual inventory system is used. Determine the costs assigned to ending inventory when costs are assigned based on the weighted average method. (Round your per unit costs to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
The information about inventory and sales is missing, so I looked for a similar question:
Beginning inventory, January 1: 390 units at $3.80 Purchase January 9: 90 units at $4.00 Purchase January 25: 120 units at $4.10 Sale January 26: 430 units Ending inventory, January 31: 170 unitsBeginning inventory on January 1: 390 $3.80 = $1,482
Purchase on January 9: 90 $4.00 = $360
Purchase on January 25: 120 $4.10 = $492
total number of units = 600
total value = $2,334
average cost per unit = $3.89
cost of goods sold = 430 units x $3.89 = $1,672.70
ending inventory = 170 units x $3.89 = $661.30
which practice would you recommend that an inventory manager use for successful inventory planning?

Franchisors in foreign countries must be aware of
A: Ease of communication
B: Shared currency Values
C. Political Risk
D: shared values and customs
Answer:
I think it's C but I'm not 100% sure.
Explanation:
Franchisors in foreign countries must be aware of political risks. Thus, the correct option is (C).
Economic problems, related legal systems, the lack of corruption, supply chain difficulties, and taxation must all be considered by franchisors.
A franchisor selecting a market in which to expand must have thorough market information as well as undertake a study of existing competitors in that area.
A corporation may choose to employ franchising as a marketing concept for business growth.
The vast majority of courts have ruled that franchisors may be held accountable for the actions of their franchisees and franchisee employees.
Therefore, the correct option is "C".
