Answer:

Answer:

The correct anwer is E) A new CEO is an example of a strategic inflection point.

Explanation:

The statement that "A new CEO is an example of a strategic inflection point" is false since to determine a strategic inflection point we rely on other factors that affect companies such as the power of competitors, the power of customers, the power of potential competitors, the power of suppliers and the power of substitutes.

For example, if my product or service is exceeded 10 times more by the competition in quality or price; we are talking about a strategic inflection point.

Ethical wrong is done either by intending to deceive consumers in order to manipulate their buying behavior, treating them as a mere means to one's own ends (the Kantian approach) or by the harmful consequences for consumers, competitors and overall market efficiency (the utilitarian approach) but not by both. A)TRUE B)FALSE

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": False.

Explanation:

Kantian ethics, named after Immanuel Kant (1724-1804), propose that actions such as theft or lying are absolutely forbidden even when the action brings the individual certain level of happiness. The Utilitarian Approach pursues obtaining maximum satisfaction by minimizing harm. Though, that minimal harm is subjective since it could represent greater harm for the individuals affected.

Thus, in both Kantian and utilitarian approaches ethical wrong is committed by deceiving consumers, producers, and the overall market efficiency.

A. $274,850. B. $238,900. C. $244,100. D. $212,261.

Answers

Answer:

Allocated MOH= $274,850

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated manufacturing overhead cost $238,900

Estimated machine hours 20,000

Actual machine hours 23,000

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 238,900/20,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $11.945 per machine-hour

Now, we can allocate overhead:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 11.95*23,000

Allocated MOH= $274,850

On February 3, Gallatin Repair Service extended an offer of $122,000 for land that had been priced for sale at $140,000. On February 28, Gallatin Repair Service accepted the seller's counter offer or $133,000. On October 23, the land was assessed at a value of $200,000 for property tax purposes. On January 15 of the next year, Gallatin Repair Service was offered $213,000 for the land by a national retail chain. At what value should the land be recorded in Gallatin Repair Services records

Answers

Answer:

$133,000

Explanation:

According to the historical cost principle, the assets should be recorded at the purchase price or the acquisition cost. In this, no other cost should be recorded like assessed value, land improvements, etc

Since in the given question the Gallatin accepted the seller counter offer i.e. $133,000 so the same is to be presented in the financial statements

hence, the land should be recorded at $133,000

= $1,878,700 × 2%

= $37,574

The Work-in-Process inventory account of a manufacturing firm shows a balance of $4,090 at the end of an accounting period. The job cost sheets of two uncompleted jobs show charges of $570 and $370 for materials, and charges of $600 and $800 for direct labor. From this information, it appears that the company is using a predetermined overhead rate, as a percentage of direct labor costs, of: Multiple Choice 43%.

Answers

Answer:

125%

Explanation:

The computation of predetermined overhead rate is shown below:-

Manufacturing overhead = $4,090 - ($570 + $370 + $600 + $800)

= $4,090 - $2,340

= $1,750

Total direct labor = $600 + $800

= $1,400

Manufacturing overhead = Predetermined overhead rate × Direct labor

Predetermined overhead rate = Manufacturing overhead ÷ Direct labor

= $1,750 ÷ $1,400

= 125%

Therefore for computing the predetermined overhead rate we simply divide the manufacturing overhead by direct labor.

Assume that you are given a payoff function that is a straight line with slope 3 and y-intercept $-200. This payoff function is for an expiration in 3 months. Assume that the current price of the underlying stock is $60 and the annual risk free rate is 2%. What is the price of this payoff

Answers

Answer:

price of the payoff is -$19.01

Explanation:

The computation of the price of payoff is shown below:

But before that we have to do the following calculations

Equation of payoff is

= -$200 + 3 × current price

Now

price of payoff is

= -$200 ÷ (1.02)^(3 ÷ 12) + 3 × $60

= -$199.01 + $180

And, finally

The price of the payoff is -$19.01

The same is to be considered
