F. , & Houston, J. F. (2016). Fundamentals of financial management (14th ed.). Boston, MA: Cengage Learning. Chapter 9, “Stocks and Their Valuation” (pp. 303-326) My company; I am self employed, I own a marketing company Crisena, LLC, revenue is $50,000/year (no current stock options). I hold a 100% equity in the company. Answer can be creative when drawing a comparison based on this information. Application: Stock Valuation As a manager, it is important to understand how decisions can be analyzed in terms of alternative courses of action and their likely impact on a firm’s value. Thus, it is necessary to know how stock prices can be estimated before attempting to measure how a particular decision might affect a firm’s market value. To prepare for this Assignment, choose a publicly-traded company, and then estimate your company’s common stock price, using one of the valuation models presented in the assigned readings or outside readings. (If you want to analyze a dividend paying company, you can find a robust list at http://www.dividenddetective.com/bigdividendlist.htm.) In addition, here is a template you will find to be useful for the assignment. It matches the examples given in the textbook on stock valuation models in Chapter 9: Stock Models (Excel workbook) See Attachment Defend your choice of model, and explain why it is appropriate to use for your company’s stock. Be sure to explain how you arrived at any assumptions regarding values used in the model. Determine whether your company appears to be correctly valued, overvalued, or undervalued based on your company’s stock current price and model result. Check Yahoo Finance for current stock prices. Finally, explain why your company’s stock appears to be over-, under-, or correctly valued. Submit your Assignment by Day 7.

Use the Internet to research two (2) of the leading competitors in the low-calorie frozen, microwavable food industry, and take note of their pricing strategies, profitability, and their relationships within the industry (worldwide). Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you: Outline a plan that will assess the effectiveness of the market structure for the company’s operations. Note: In Assignment 1, the assumption was that the market structure [or selling environment] was perfectly competitive and that the equilibrium price was to be determined by setting QD equal to QS. You are now aware of recent changes in the selling environment that suggest an imperfectly competitive market where your firm now has substantial market power in setting its own “optimal” price. Given that business operations have changed from the market structure specified in the original scenario in Assignment 1, determine two (2) likely factors that might have caused the change. Predict the primary manner in which this change would likely impact business operations in the new market environment. Analyze the major short run and long cost functions for the low-calorie, frozen microwaveable food company given the cost functions below. Suggest substantive ways in which the low-calorie food company may use this information in order to make decisions in both the short-run and the long-run. TC = 160,000,000 + 100Q + 0.0063212Q2 VC = 100Q + 0.0063212Q2 MC= 100 + 0.0126424Q Determine the possible circumstances under which the company should discontinue operations. Suggest key actions that management should take in order to confront these circumstances. Provide a rationale for your response. (Hint: Your firm’s price must cover average variable costs in the short run and average total costs in the long run to continue operations.) Suggest one (1) pricing policy that will enable your low-calorie, frozen microwavable food company to maximize profits. Provide a rationale for your suggestion. (Hints: In Assignment 1, you determined your firm’s market demand equation. Now you need to find the inverse demand equation. Having found that, find the Total Revenue function for your firm (TR is P x Q). From your firm’s Total Revenue function, then find your Marginal Revenue (MR) function. Use the profit maximization rule MR = MC to determine your optimal price and optimal output level now that you have market power. Compare these values with the values you generated in Assignment 1. Determine whether your price higher is or lower.) Outline a plan, based on the information provided in the scenario, which the company could use in order to evaluate its financial performance. Consider all the key drivers of performance, such as company profit or loss for both the short term and long term, and the fundamental manner in which each factor influences managerial decisions. (Hints: Calculate profit in the short run by using the price and output levels you generated in part 5. Optional: You may want to compare this to what profit would have been in Assignment 1 using the cost function provided here. Calculate profit in the long run by using the output level you generated in part 5 and cost data in part 3 and assuming that the selling environment will likely be very competitive. Determine why this would be a valid assumption.) Recommend two (2) actions that the company could take in order to improve its profitability and deliver more value to its stakeholders.

Programs to upgrade maths, science and social science education, state accountability plans, new approaches to administration, and other ideas are initiated by teachers, administrators, interest groups, reformers, and state regulators. In a school district, the superintendent is the key leader, in an individual school, the Principal is the key leader. In the AVS District, Superintendent William has responsibility for 11 schools – 8 elementary, 2 Junior high and 1 high school. After attending a management summer course, William sent an email to Principals stating that every teacher in their building was required to develop a set of performance objectives for each class they taught. These objectives were to be submitted within 1 month after the school opened, and copies were to be forwarded to the superintendent’s office. William also wrote that he has hired the consultant who taught the management course to help teachers write objectives during their annual opening in-service day of orientation work. Mr. Xavier, Principal of Mitran Academy School, sent his teachers the following memo: “Friends – Superintendant William, has asked me to inform you that written performance objectives for your courses must be handed in 1 month from today. This afternoon at the in-service meeting, you will receive instruction in composing these objectives.” In response, one teacher Mr. Pandya sent a note asking, “Is anything wrong with our teaching? Is this the reason we have to spend hours writing objectives?” Xavier heard Mr. Raina tell Mr. Dhawan in the corridor, “I don’t see how all this objectives business will improve my classroom. It sounds like an empty exercise. In fact, because of the time it will take me to write objectives, it will hurt my teaching. I should be reading on new developments and working on lesson plans.” Sensing a repulsion from the teachers, Principal Xavier contacts you his good old friend for advice on how to communicate in order to motivate the teachers to adapt to the change in the process. What would you do differently as a leader, if you were in William’s place before introducing the change? How should Xavier present staff concerns to William? How should Xavier try to help the staff to adapt to the process change? ———————————————— Finance Question: How do you calculate the value of stock?

A recent study found that the world’s 80 wealthiest individuals own as much as the entire world’s poorest 3.5 billion people. The richest 1 percent of the world’s population control half of the world’s total wealth. [Footnote] Many individuals, corporations, charities, and government agencies have projects and programs in place to attempt to tackle this and other important global issues such as sustainability, but there are many opportunities to do more. A grassroots group of college students has decided to work together to do their part in making the world a better place. The students are from many different countries, and several of them met at global conferences, through study abroad experiences, or on various Internet groups. Strategic goals of this group include developing skills for both college students and for needy populations, sharing information on existing products and services that promote economic growth and sustainability, and promoting entrepreneurship. Leaders of this group were reviewing some ideas for projects (all with a significant IT component) that they could do to support their strategic goals: Global Treps : Many people are familiar with the television show called Shark Tank where entrepreneurs (sometimes called “ treps ”) present their business ideas to a group of investors or sharks. Several colleges, high schools, and even elementary schools throughout the world hold unique versions of a shark tank like event. You believe that creating a non-profit organization with one central mobile-friendly website/application to assist groups in organizing these types of events would spark even more entrepreneurs throughout the world. You would plan to hold several shark tank like events during the term of the project and create a site and applications to help continue developing more global treps . This site/application would include the following capabilities: Provide guidelines and templates for running a shark tank type of event Accept donations from potential investors targeted toward specific schools or organizations wishing to host an event (similar to the popular DonorsChoose . org site where people can fund teacher’s requests) Accept ideas for needed new products or services Provide the ability for organizations to create their own custom site to solicit local participants and sharks, accept applications, and promote the winners as well as losers Research ideas for a mechanism where a certain percentage of all donations and profits earned by contestants are donated back to the Global Treps organization Provide an online version of the events by showing videos of contestants and live reactions of the sharks while also getting live inputs and donations from viewers Change the Laws Campaign: Launch a global campaign to change laws to reduce further income inequality and promote social responsibility. This project would also involve creating a mobile-friendly website/application that would include information about current and proposed laws, allow discussions of potential ideas to change laws, organize people to contact appropriate lawmakers, etc. Wealthy Unite: Develop a system to enable the richest people in the world to provide their input on how they can make the world a better place. Provide information on what several people are currently doing (i.e., Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, famous celebrities, etc.) to promote philanthropy. Allow others to donate to suggested causes and recommend other ways to reduce economic inequality. Global Smart Shoppers: Develop a mobile app and website that recommends products and services produced by organizations that promote social responsibility. Customize the app so it works in any country in the user’s desired language. Work with large companies that do not currently sell products or services in certain countries to expand to regions in need. Allow small companies to easily add their products and services to the shopping network. Complete the FollowingTasks : Summarize each of the proposed projects using a simple table format suitable for presentation to top management. Include the name of each project, identify how each one supports business strategies, assess the potential financial benefits and other benefits of each project, and provide your initial assessment of the value of each project. Write your results in a one- to two-page memo to top management, including appropriate back-up information and calculations. Prepare a business case for the Global Treps project. Assume that the project will take six months to complete, use many volunteer hours, and cost about $120,000 for hardware, software, travel, and labor. Use the attached business case template provided. Be sure to research information on the television show and events held by colleges and other groups, which have been sparked by the need for more successful entrepreneurs. Also visit DonorsChoose . org to see how that site operates and look into steps for forming a non-profit organization. Prepare a change request for the Global Treps project, using the attached template provided. Assume that you have decided not to provide an online version of the show as it would be too much work for the initial project. Be creative when making up information. Be sure to save your files with an appropriate name and include your first and last name in the file name. Example: Memo- FirstName – LastName . docx This assignment requires you to submit 3 documents: Memo, Business Case and Change Request Save and submit your files using the Module 1 CPL Assignment link above. ———————————————— Accounting Question: When must a company recognize an asset retirement obligation? ———————————————— Economics Question: who does the screening and evaluation of product phases in production? economics ———————————————— Accounting Question: Topic: Consolidation in subsequent years, noncontrolling interest LO 2 (All dollar amount are in thousands) Panerai acquired 65% of Stefanel’s voting stock for $31,550 in cash on January 1, 2015, when Stefanel’s book value was $5,000.

Its Work in Process Inventory account on March 31 appeared as follows: Work in Process Inventory Direct material 554,400 Cost of completed jobs ?? Direct labor 384,000 Applied overhead 345,600 The company applies overhead on the basis of direct labor cost. Only one job was still in process on March 31. That job had $132,600 in direct material and $93,600 in direct labor cost assigned to it. a. What was the predetermined overhead application rate? b. How much cost was transferred out for jobs completed during March? Problem 2 NOTE: On this exercise, you need to calculate: (a) Manufacturing Overhead applied and (b) Actual Manufacturing Overhead. Remember, Normal costing means the cost assigned using the predetermined overhead rate the company calculated at the beginning of the year. Actual Costing, is that, the cost that the company actually incurred. 27.

A business entity may take the form of a sole proprietorship, partnership, or corporation. Regardless of the business form, the accounting equation shows the relationship among the entity’s assets, liabilities, and stockholders’ equity. The Accounting Equation The details of the activities of a company, or transactions, are recorded in a company’s accounting system. These transactions are summarized in a set of reports known as the financial statements. The foundation for the accounting system and the financial statements is the accounting equation. Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity The left side of the accounting equation shows the economic resources of the company = The right side of the accounting equation summarizes who provided those assets: Creditors or the stockholders’. As transactions occur, they affect the accounting equation, but the accounting equation must always stay in balance. A transaction can increase both sides or decrease both sides. A transaction could also affect only one side by increasing one account and decreasing another on the same side of the accounting equation. APPLYING THE CONCEPTS: Analyzing Changes to Assets, Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity Thomas Company: The table below demonstrates the effect of the first three transactions for Thomas Company. Review the details of each transaction and determine the effect on the accounting equation.

Transaction Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity Beginning $0 = $0 + $0 Invest in the Business The company issues stock in exchange for $23,000. This increases the assets of the business. The owners (stockholders) have a claim on the assets, so stockholders’ equity also increases. $ = $ + $ Borrow Cash The company borrows $11,500 cash from the local bank. This transaction also increases assets. The company now owes the bank; therefore, the bank has a claim on the assets. Thus, liabilities increase.

I can’t seem to find the answers anywhere. ———————————————— Accounting Question: Carrot Corp, Inc. owns and operates a carrot farm. Shawn formed Carrot Corp by contributing farmland with an adjusted basis of $95,000 in exchange for 100 shares of stock in 1980. Shawn owns the only stock in Carrot Corp. Shawn made this transaction pursuant to Section 1244. At the time of the transaction, the farm was worth $140,000. In 1990, Shawn gave 20 shares to his son Andrew, and 20 shares to his son Brian. Brian and Andrew both worked in the management of Carrot Corp. At that time, the value of the gifts were $27,000 each. Shawn correctly did not pay a gift tax on the shares. His main reason for the gift was to reward his sons with equity in the company for their great work. In addition, he also wanted to place some of the taxes from Carrot Corp dividends on his sons. In 2005, Andrew and Brian got into a fight over diversifying the farmland to make additional variations in produce. The fights became so tense that they all decided to buy out Brian’s stock in Carrot Corp. Thus, Carrot Corp purchased Brian’s stock in exchange for one of the smaller fields that Brian could run by himself. Brian is no longer involved in Carrot Corp. The field given to Brian was originally purchased for $10,000. The present value of the shrubbery and entire field is $12,000. Brian’s 20 shares were also worth $12,000 at the time of the transfer.

He has arrived with a stack of paperwork in his hands and a befuddled look on his face. You ask what’s going on and he responds as follows. “Last year, as you know, we purchased a bankrupt, closed down bottling facility in The Ukraine. I don’t know if you know this but in countries other than Canada they are using somewhat different accounting policies than we do, and the reports I have for the first few months of operations for that location look nothing like anything I have seen before. I’m aware that the company made no money this month as it’s had no sales or operations, but I cannot understand our capital position. I’m leaving you with a new project. I know you’ve been learning accounting so I want you to take the opening information for the business from the date of purchase and come up with the balance sheet as it should appear to me as a Canadian Reader.” You are somewhat puzzled with this new challenge, yet flattered at the same time, and agree to take it on.

Wages due of $15,000 were paid out in cash. $175,000 in Equipment was purchased on credit ($100 was due on delivery and was paid in cash). Their land was appraised and found to be worth $560,000. A stakeholder, Bruce Wayne, provided the company with equipment and in return received $65,000 in shares. $300,000 in shares was retired for bonds payable on December 15, 2025. Bottle Processing Patent Fees were paid completely out on Credit. $175,000 in Old Bottles was returned to the former supplier for their cash value. A bank loan for $65,000 was taken out.

Garner created the concept of “Ages” promotion—a three fight series of boxing matches in Las Vegas, Nevada, pitting an older fighter (George Foreman) against a younger fighter. The concept had titles for each of the three fights, including “Battle of the Ages.” Garner contacted Foreman and his manager, who both reside in Texas, to sell the idea, and they arranged a meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada. During negotiations, Foreman’s manager signed a nondisclosure agreement prohibiting him from disclosing Garner’s promotional concepts unless the parties signed a contract. Nevertheless, after negotiations fell through, Foreman used Garner’s “Battle of the Ages” concept to promote a subsequent fight. Garner and SuperSports filed a suit against Forman and his manager in a federal district court located in Illinois, alleging breach of contract. On the basis of these fact, answer the following questions: [10 points] a. On what basis might the federal district court in Illinois exercise jurisdiction in this case? b. Does the federal district court have original or appellate jurisdiction? c. Suppose Garner had filed his action in an Illinois state court. Could an Illinois state court exercise personal jurisdiction over Foreman or his manager? Explain. d. Suppose Garner had filed his action in a Nevada state court. Would that court have had personal jurisdiction over Foreman or his manager? Explain e. Should a dispute involving medical malpractice be forced into arbitration?

What will happen to the stock returns required by investors according to the CAPM model? 1.

Because most rational investors hold diversified portfolios, they are automatically protected against the inflation risk and thus there should be no relation between CAPM returns and expected inflation. 3. The CAPM would indicate that the returns on every stock fall by the amont of inflation differential (i.e., parallel downward shift in SML). 4. The CAPM would predict that the returns on every stock rise as expected inflation falls. ———————————————— Management Question: Using asingletraining program or course,provide two relevant examples of eachof Gagne’s five categories of learning.

An LP program has been established to maximize profits for the production of the three types of oil: Ahalf = half aviation, A = Aviation, and H = heating oil.The LP is shown below: OBJECTIVE: Maximize $50 Ahalf + $85 A + $43 H CONSTRAINTS (non-negativity assumed) Ahalf + A + H <= 8000 Ahalf + 1.55*A + 0.7*H <= 5000 Ahalf + A = 4000 Ahalf <= 3000 (a) Choose two of the constraints and translate how the constraint is being used when maximizing profit.Put the constraint into your own words. (b) Use software to compute the maximum profit for the LP above. How much of each of the three types of oil should be created to maximize profits?

PHASE II: ACTIVITY-BASED COSTING Greg charges the project team to begin work on the second phase of the project, which is to use the expense allocation process to begin to develop activity-based costs. As an initial step, the team reviews the information provided on the activities performed by each of the functions as shown in Table 2, Panel D, and categorizes the activities as unit, batch, product, and facility. 7.

As its next step, the team gathers information in Table 5 and calculates a rate for each of the functions based on the associated volumes. Use the information in Table 5 to calculate cost rates for the functions identified. Is this information sufficient for decision making? Why or why not? Referring back to his discussion with the chief actuary, Greg identifies two activities to begin developing activity- based costs: the cost to issue life insurance products and the cost to service them. The project team defines the activities encompassing the cost to issue a policy as the cost to receive and process applications, underwrite policies and print, and collate and mail policies (termed “issuance”). The cost to maintain policies is defined as the cost of storing policy information, updating policy information as needed, responding to requests for service on insurance policies, the payment of claims and benefits, and the associated computer costs. 9. As its first step, the team is going to focus on developing the costs to receive life insurance applications manually and issue a life insurance policy. During July 2012, the company received 11,489 applications and issued 9,385 life insurance policies. Not all applications are issued policies, thus the team must calculate the cost to receive and process the applications and adjust those costs to reflect that approximately one out of five applications does not result in a policy being issued. 9.

Greg has confirmed that all expenses were allocated. Review the expense allocations used in the first test and discuss the functional centers in which the expense allocation bases have been improved and those that still may need improvement. 5.

Interact’s Application Integration Server (AIS) provides a two-way interface between central reservations systems (CRS) and property management systems (PMS).At least two important trends in the hotel industry are relevant. First, hotels are shifting away from the manual booking of room reservations and electronic bookings will continue to increase as more bookings are made over the Internet. Second, competitive pressures are forcing hotels to implement yield management programs and to increase customer service. By integrating the CRS and PMS through Interact’s AIS, inventories can be better managed, yields improved, and customer service enhanced.All reservation traffic is routed from the CRS to individual hotel properties. This allows Interact Systems to create a database that can be used to track customers and to facilitate marketing programs, such as frequent stay or VIP programs, as a way of increasing customer satisfaction. Interact forecasts application integration expenditures in the hospitality industry toexceed $1 billion by 2012.Greg Thomas founded Interact Systems in 2006 and developed the firm’s middlewaresoftware and hospitality applications. He has 12 years of systems applications experience and currently is Interact’s Chief Technology Officer. Eric Westskow joined Interact in early 2009 as President and CEO. Prior to that time, he worked in sales and marketing in the software industry for over 20 years. Interact Systems’ AIS software development which began in 2006 went through several design changes in 2007. The first product was sold and installed in 2005. Sales were only$500,000 in 2006. However, now that the firm has dependable market tested AIS products ready to be shipped, revenues are expected to reach $20.8 million in 2012.Greg Thomas founded Interact Systems with $50,000 of his own savings plus $50,000 from friends. Two private investors provided an additional $200,000 in 2007. In addition, $1million was obtained from a venture capital firm, Katile Capital Partners, in early 2009 in exchange for an equity position in Interact. The firm currently is seeking an additional $5 million to finance sales growth.

Lately, Matt has been unpleased with the owner. He is convinced he could run a business that does a better work at a lower cost. Matt decided to go into business for himself and opened Design’s by Matt. To get the business going, Matt decided to invest heavily in advertising. He spent $7,500 on advertising aimed at homeowners and another $1,500 on advertising aimed at getting work from other contractors. Matt also purchased construction equipment costing $5,000 and other tools and equipment costing $4,500. He estimated that the construction equipment can be used for about 5 years, before maintenance costs will be too high and the equipment will need to be replaced. The other tools and equipment are not as durable and will have to be replaced in 3 years. At the end of the first year of business, Matt received $86,000 in cash from customers for work performed. Matt was owed another $4,500 from customers who are not required to pay cash, but are billed every 30 days. A review of Matt’s checkbook shows he paid the following expenses (in addition to those mentioned previously) during the first year of business: Materials $42,000 Other supplies 11,000 Wages–part-time assistant 9,500 Rent 6,000 Insurance (2-year policy) 2,400 Utilities 2,100 Miscellaneous expenses 1,700 Matt’s utility bill for the last month of the year has not yet arrived. He estimated that the bill will be approximately $325. Matt keeps some stock of materials on hand for customers who need work completed immediately.

He has been approached by a representative of Garfield Engineering regarding the possible replacement of a large piece of manufacturing equipment that George uses in its process with a more efficient model. While the representative made some compelling arguments in favour of replacing the 3-year-old equipment, Bob is hesitant. He is hoping to be promoted next year to manager of the larger New South Wales plant, and he knows that the accrual-basis net operating income of the Victorian plant will be evaluated closely as part of the promotion decision. The following information is available concerning the equipment replacement decision: The historical cost of the old machine is $300,000. It has a current carrying amount of $120,000, two remaining years of useful life and a market value of $72,000. Annual depreciation expense is $60,000. It is expected to have a salvage value of $0 at the end of its useful life. The new equipment will cost $180,000. It will have a two-year useful life and a $0 salvage value. George uses straight-line depreciation on all equipment. The new equipment will reduce electricity costs by $35,000 per year and will reduce direct manufacturing labour costs by $30,000 per year. For simplicity, ignore income taxes and the time value of money. Required: 1. Assume that Bob Marsden’s priority is to receive the promotion, and he makes the equipment replacement decision based on next year’s accrual-based net operating income. Which alternative would he choose? Show your calculations. (4 marks) 2. What are the relevant factors in the decision?

Use the Internet to research two (2) of the leading competitors in the low-calorie frozen, microwavable food industry, and take note of their pricing strategies, profitability, and their relationships within the industry (worldwide). Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you: Outline a plan that will assess the effectiveness of the market structure for the company’s operations. Note: In Assignment 1, the assumption was that the market structure [or selling environment] was perfectly competitive and that the equilibrium price was to be determined by setting QD equal to QS. You are now aware of recent changes in the selling environment that suggest an imperfectly competitive market where your firm now has substantial market power in setting its own “optimal” price. Given that business operations have changed from the market structure specified in the original scenario in Assignment 1, determine two (2) likely factors that might have caused the change. Predict the primary manner in which this change would likely impact business operations in the new market environment. Analyze the major short run and long cost functions for the low-calorie, frozen microwaveable food company given the cost functions below. Suggest substantive ways in which the low-calorie food company may use this information in order to make decisions in both the short-run and the long-run. TC = 160,000,000 + 100Q + 0.0063212Q2 VC = 100Q + 0.0063212Q2 MC= 100 + 0.0126424Q Determine the possible circumstances under which the company should discontinue operations. Suggest key actions that management should take in order to confront these circumstances. Provide a rationale for your response. (Hint: Your firm’s price must cover average variable costs in the short run and average total costs in the long run to continue operations.) Suggest one (1) pricing policy that will enable your low-calorie, frozen microwavable food company to maximize profits. Provide a rationale for your suggestion. (Hints: In Assignment 1, you determined your firm’s market demand equation. Now you need to find the inverse demand equation. Having found that, find the Total Revenue function for your firm (TR is P x Q). From your firm’s Total Revenue function, then find your Marginal Revenue (MR) function. Use the profit maximization rule MR = MC to determine your optimal price and optimal output level now that you have market power. Compare these values with the values you generated in Assignment 1. Determine whether your price higher is or lower.) Outline a plan, based on the information provided in the scenario, which the company could use in order to evaluate its financial performance. Consider all the key drivers of performance, such as company profit or loss for both the short term and long term, and the fundamental manner in which each factor influences managerial decisions. (Hints: Calculate profit in the short run by using the price and output levels you generated in part 5. Optional: You may want to compare this to what profit would have been in Assignment 1 using the cost function provided here. Calculate profit in the long run by using the output level you generated in part 5 and cost data in part 3 and assuming that the selling environment will likely be very competitive. Determine why this would be a valid assumption.) Recommend two (2) actions that the company could take in order to improve its profitability and deliver more value to its stakeholders. Outline, in brief, a plan to implement your recommendations. ———————————————— Economics Question: An investor bought 15,000 Ordinary Shares (nominal value £4.50) at 480 pence each.

For purposes of this HW, a CMBS is like a RMBS, except that all loans have a prepayment lock-out (assume for the entire term), but default occurs according to the standard SDA function. Additionally, since the loans do not fully amortize, there is generally a balloon loss – quoted as a fraction of the outstanding balance at mortgage maturity. To simplify, assume that there is no recovery (unrealistic, of course). Assume that the CMBS is sold at par (again, unrealistic). b. Now introduce credit risk by allowing for loans to default at the PSA’s SDA CDR, and allow for balloon risk. The current (corresponding maturity) Treasury yield is 5%. Create a table and graph of the spread (in bps) of cash flow yield to Treasury versus SDA, for 0% and 10% balloon loss. In the spreadsheet that you hand-in, show the situation for 100SDA and 10% balloon loss. Use par pricing. See notes below for further assumptions and hints. Notes: Note that there is no messy tranching going on here. Allow for a general SDA; see the graph and spreadsheet in your lecture notes. Here is one way to get the CDR (as there are better versions, feel free to use your own, extra points if you can show me that the formula below is wrong); “A13” refers to the month and “SDA” to the SDA factor: =(IF(A13<=30,A13*0.006/30,0)+IF(AND(A13>30,A13<=60),0.006,0)+IF(AND(A13>60,A13<=120),0.006-(0.006-0.0003)/(120-60)*(A1360),0)+IF(A13>120,0.0003,0))*SDA/100 Assume that loss recovery is zero – any loan that defaults is a completely written down. Defaults work much like prepayment, with one exception: the monthly default happens just before the payment (why pay interest and principal if you are defaulting anyway). So take default = beginning balance × MDR and then apply the appropriate pool survival factor to get the realized “mortgage payment.” Make sure you create a column of the PT cash flows, including the initial investment at par, so that you can calculate the CF yield. Balloon losses are quoted as a fraction of the final outstanding principal. In your graph, show a range of SDA’s of 0 to 1,000. You will find that you do not have to compute very many values in that range. Display all cash flows to the nearest dollar (use format Õ cell). ———————————————— Finance Question: Hello, I had to choose a publicly traded company to complete my finance homework.

One of the reasons accountants have to pay close attention to information is because the information presented by accountants will be used by management for making crucial decisions. Also, accountants must have the correct skills in order to perform this and other key functions. Your response will address this in these areas Part I – Information Management Today Roughly 50 years ago, Russell Ackoff wrote about the importance, or lack of importance, of information that management needs in “Ackoff’s Management Information System” (see attachment). You will read this article and answer the following: – Does each of the assumptions (individually) apply today? Whether you agree or disagree, you will need to explain why and provide examples to support your stance. Part II – Ackoff Revisited – Since this the article was written over 50 years ago, the assumptions should be updated to reflect today. Revise each of the 5 assumptions to reflect a global, digital society and provide a quick summary of each summary. Part III – Framework for Information Management – CPA Vision Project – Now, do some research on the CPA Vision Project of 2025 (http://www.aicpa.org/Research/CPAHorizons2025/CPAvisionProject/Pages/CPAVisionProject .aspx). Explain how the framework can help accountants to provide their managers with the right information at the right time in the right format. Part IV – Skills Needed for Accountants to Produce the Right Information – Identify the necessary skills that an accountant should have that will allow them to provide their managers with the right information at the right time in the right format.

Malee Traisawasdichai finds that fairways make good business but bad neighbours. ‘My wife was a caddie. She is dead.’ So spoke 27-year-old Pong Kheungkham, father of a little boy and a poor farmer from Baan Thung Yang – a small village in Chiang Rai Province, Thailand. Janpeng, his wife, was two months pregnant when she miscarried on the 17th hole at the Santiburi Private Community. A month later she was dead. Her caddie friends witnessed the incident. ‘She might have thought she could manage to complete the 18-hole course distance,’ said one. ‘We caddies know how difficult it is to get our wage. Sometimes we have to wait for a week or two to get a round of work. So she might have tried to finish.’ Perhaps it was because she had carried the heavy bag over such a long course, or because of daily exposure to the chemical pesticides used to keep the greens – but the cause of Janpeng’s death was never clearly established. Her story shows how rich golfers’ élitist passion is satisfied at the expense of the poor. Golf constitutes an arrogant ‘power sport’ for the privileged few. Around Asia the advent of the golf course means disruption of ecology and the human community. Japan, Asia’s most golf-crazy country, has at least 2,016 golf courses covering 2,227.7 square kilometres of land. The area exceeds that of Tokyo.1 In Thailand – the centre of ‘golf mania’ in South-East Asia – 200 golf courses have depleted the country’s limited water supply that is vital for rice farmers. In Malaysia over 160 golf courses have swallowed up tracts of rainforest. In Indonesia 91 golf courses have bitten a big chunk out of traditional farming wetlands and nature reserves, in one case expelling nearly 1,000 families. China, Burma and Indochina are the new frontier of the corporate golf industry. A ‘golf-resortplus-casino’ package is being introduced to Burma, Laos and Cambodia. In Laos, Thai developer Sompot Piyaoui’s plans for the Kon Phapheng Resort Development include two casinos and two courses, a 1,200-room hotel, an international airport and a power station. The complex will be built in the middle of the Khon Phapheng Fall, an area known as ‘the Niagara of Asia’. Thai journalist Ing K warns: ‘Setting up a resort complex in the middle of the Khon Phapheng Fall, which is ecologically sensitive and the habitat of unique fauna like the Irrawaddy dolphins, is in itself unacceptable. It is a black and white issue. It’s like you were going to poison the Mekong River right into Cambodia and Vietnam.’ Cheap land, weak regulations and feeble local opposition in South-East Asia – particularly Indochina – are a strong draw for Japanese developers. Back home in Japan strong local opposition has managed to halt the construction of 720 golf courses since 1988. For Asia’s poorest countries golf resorts provide a lure to draw easy money from wealthy tourists, expatriates and the local nouveaux riches. But golf is an expensive game for poor countries. Gen Morita of the Global Anti-Golf Movement (GAG’M) notes: ‘Golf means using very large amounts of land. The average golf course uses about 100 hectares, whereas a football pitch is only one hectare. So for just one 18-hole golf course you could have 100 football pitches.’ How many ‘golf dollars’ stay in the host country is also a matter of debate. ‘When a tourist starts his journey he buys a Nikon camera and then flies with Japan Airlines,’ says Thai antigolf activist Chyant Pholpoke. ‘Arriving in, say, the Philippines for golfing, he takes a Toyota limousine and checks in at a Japanese-owned hotel. He goes up to his room in a Hitachi lift where he takes a drink from a Toshiba fridge, turns on a Sharp air conditioner and a National TV.’ The golfing craze and its jetset lifestyle raise crucial questions: how are limited natural resources to be used and for whom? One Vietnamese entrepreneur has his doubts about whether exclusive new clubs can attract enough members to be viable. ‘Golf is a completely new thing in Vietnam,’ he says. ‘There’s still no middle class… We won’t see big numbers of expatriates living here in the next five years.’ The Japanese-owned Song Be Golf Resort in Ho Chi Minh City is expected to charge a fee of $30,000 for corporate memberships. The average Vietnamese would have to work 100 years to join.2 Golf is the sport of the powerful and influential. In Indonesia half the existing golf courses are owned by President Suharto and his family3. Bruce Bennett exposed this closely-knit world in his award-winning documentary The Green Menace: The Untold Story of Golf. The film notes that golf is the preferred sport of the Thai officer corps. ‘The Thai military takes after the American model. The US armed forces have 300 golf courses, maintained at a cost of $60 million a year to the American taxpayers.’ According to Thai Lieutenant General Sanan Kajornglam: ‘Most generals have to play golf because it’s a high-society game. Golf is expensive. If you are known to be good at golf and you play with the right clans, then let your superiors win, you can curry favour and get promoted.’ A few years ago the Bangkok Nation published a photo showing golf superstar Jack Nicklaus hitching a ride on a Thai Air Force helicopter to survey the site of the Nicklaus-designed Golden Valley project. This misuse of public funds started a scandal which escalated when course-construction crews blew up a state-owned mountain and encroached upon the KhaoYai National Park. The Green Menace film caught Jack Nicklaus in a particularly expansive mood in Thailand: ‘You’ve got great land. You’ve got plenty of water, with the amount of rain that you have. Certainly, you don’t have problems from our standpoint.’ Thai farmers are not so sure. In 1994 Thailand experienced its worst-ever drought year. The Royal Irrigation Department (RID) discovered 13 golf courses illegally diverting water from irrigation canals. The Government, however, prohibited farmers from growing a second rice crop while golf courses went on pumping water from the reservoirs. It’s a delicious irony that Army Chief General Wimol Wongwanich held the ‘Thai Golf Day’ in April to raise funds for drought-ridden farmers. An independent survey conducted by Bangkok’s Mahidol University confirmed that an average course consumes 6,500 cubic metres of water per day – enough to satisfy the domestic needs of 60,000 rural villagers. Suradej Vongsinlang – a water-resource engineer who quit his golf-course job – is candid about water-theft tactics: ‘Some golf courses near rivers dump rocks and sand into the river to make the water level rise, so it will flow into their golf course.’ Caddies and course workers also fall victim to pesticide poisoning. Caddies interviewed at Santiburi golf course in Chiang Rai said they all suffered skin disease, dizziness and kidney problems after just a year’s work. Dead birds are found almost every morning after greenkeepers have sprayed pesticide at night. In the US a Golf Course Superintendent Association’s study confirmed that: ‘Among golf-course superintendents there is more lung cancer, more brain cancer, and prostate. Especially lung cancer.’ The image of Thai women is often used to sell the country to tourists – golf tourism is no different. One promotion leaflet entitled ‘Thailand Paradise Golf Plus’ pulls few punches: ‘The splendour of the courses and club houses is unrivalled in Europe. And the service offered by the caddies, who are young, friendly, knowledgeable – and usually female – is unparalleled in the world.’ A receptionist at the Santiburi golf course revealed: ‘I have been approached by golfers many times to go out. Once a Malaysian pro told me if I went with him he would give me all the money he won from the game. But I managed to refuse his offer gently.’ Amid uncontrolled proliferation of golf courses worldwide, GAG’M has been formed by networks from 16 countries to deflate the pro-golf rhetoric. They declared 1994 ‘No Golf Year’, calling for a world-wide moratorium on golf-course construction, a ban on introducing golf as an Olympic sport and a halt to the heavy promotion of golf-related tourism. GAG’M’s spokesperson Gen Morita draws lessons from his native Japan: ‘Our job is to let people – particularly those in the Third World – know about the destruction golf courses cause… In Japan we have experienced all these mistakes… and suffered and lost so much; the river, the wetlands, the forest and the whole social atmosphere.’ It remains to be seen whether the ‘nature-loving’ golfer can be convinced.

FOR EXAMPLE: Joe went to the bank. (The financial institution or the slope bordering a river?) **Syntactical ambiguity: Results because of faulty grammar or word order. FOR EXAMPLE: One morning he hugged his dog in his pajamas. (Who was wearing the pajamas? The man? The dog?) Example Expected Response 1: Example: Margie sold out. Response: This is an example of semantical ambiguity. The words ‘sold out’ are ambiguous. Does it mean that Margie sold all of her inventory or does it mean that Margie sold out in the sense that she surrendered her ideals? Example Expected Response 2: Example: Headline: Advice to Teachers and Parents on Drugs. Response: This is an example of syntactical ambiguity. One might ask: Are they giving advice to parents and teachers about drugs? Or, is the advice intended for teachers and parents who are on drugs? Based on the sentence structure, it can be interpreted differently. Example Expected Response 3 Example: Ava told Noah she was hot. Response: The word ‘hot’ is vague. How hot is hot? Hot for me may be different that it is for you; therefore, it is subjective and vague. NOTE: There are 5 examples of vagueness and 5 examples of ambiguity. For each example you will identify if it vagueness, semantic ambiguity or syntactical ambiguity. This component is worth five points. You will earn five points for your explanation.

According to “Ideals of Human Excellence and Preserving Natural Environments,” Thomas Hill would claim that a failure to appreciate the aesthetic value of the environment (Points : 1) might indicate that the person simply has a different set of subjective tastes. might indicate that one lacks a precise philosophical account of the beautiful. might indicate an inability to appreciate the true value of things in general. might indicate an inability to express proper self-deception. Question 3. 3. In his discussion of virtue and honor in the military, what does Robinson consider to be the relation between integrity and magnanimity? (Points : 1) They both should be pursued to the greatest extent possible. The inner honor of integrity should always take priority over the outer honors associated with magnanimity. Finding a suitable balance between the two helps prevent the excesses of each on its own. The prospect of honors from one’s peers is the only realistic motivation for a soldier to act virtuously. Question 4. 4. Aristotle conceives of a virtue as: (Points : 1) a rule that tells you what the right action is. a positive self-image. a state of character that enables practically wise choices. conformity to society’s standards. Question 5. 5. In The Emperor’s Club, what best describes the teacher’s (Kevin Kline) response to his student’s (Emile Hirsch) admission of cheating? (Points : 1) He hugged him and thanked him for being honest. He threatened to turn him in and have him punished. d. He reminded him that it is against school policy to cheat, and thus that he erred by breaking the school’s rules. He challenged him to regard virtue and character as more important than success alone. Question 6. 6. According to Thomas Hill’s account of environmental ethics, a person might show a lack of virtue when they: (Points : 1) fail to find any aesthetic value in nature. fail to realize that human needs and interests are worthless and unimportant. fail to recognize the equal rights of nonsentient beings like plants and rocks. All of the above. Question 7. 7. Aristotle states that if we ask what the highest good is: (Points : 1) there is no agreement about the answer. there is no objective answer to this question. most people agree that it is wealth. nearly everyone agrees that it is happiness. Question 8. 8. According to Robinson’s article “Magnanimity and Integrity as Military Virtues”, a person who has integrity is someone who: (Points : 1) Does what is right, even when it is disapproved of by others Does what is right, only if it is approved of by others Does what is right, only when commanded to do so Does what is right, unless they are commanded to do otherwise Question 9. 9. Aristotle regards passions and feelings, such as anger, as: (Points : 1) capable of excess, defect, or the intermediate state characteristic of virtue. good when directed by reason toward the right objects and the right amounts. always either an excess or a defect in one’s character. Both (a) and (b). Question 10. 10. According to Aristotle, happiness is: (Points : 1) a life that is lived well. satisfying as many desires and goals as possible. pleasure and the absence of pain. constant feelings of euphoric bliss and joy. Question 11. 11. Aristotle describes each virtue as: (Points : 1) a maximum of some character trait. a minimum of some character trait. an intermediate between excess and defect of some character trait. none of the above Question 12. 12. In the article “Magnanimity and Integrity as Military Virtues,” Robinson describes magnanimity and integrity as both primarily concerned with what? (Points : 1) Honor Wealth Courage Generosity Question 13. 13. In the article “Magnanimity and Integrity as Military Virtues,” Robinson suggests that the more closely one associates with one’s identity with a certain group, the more one will (Points : 1) Associate one’s own honor with rejecting the honor of the group Associate one’s own honor with the honor of the group Associate one’s own honor with that of the enemy group Associate one’s own honor with the virtue of prudence Question 14. 14. What would best express Colonel Nicholson’s (Alec Guinness) view regarding what makes a good soldier, as expressed in the The Bridge on the River Kwai clip? (Points : 1) The virtues of a good soldier are consistent no matter the circumstance. A good solider acts virtuously even when it may not directly benefit himself and his country. The good soldier maintains his or her integrity even if the enemy does not. All of the above. Question 15. 15. In the article “Magnanimity and Integrity as Military Virtues,” Robinson agrees with Aquinas’ idea that (Points : 1) Honor is unimportant Honor is unrelated to integrity Honor must be displayed in action Honor is a subjective state of mind Question 16. 16. Which of the following would be an idea shared both by the teacher (Kevin Kline) from the clip of The Emperor’s Club, and by Aristotle? (Points : 1) If you act dishonestly, you are bound to eventually get caught, and that is why you should always be honest. Cheating might lead to external success, but at the cost of internal failure. If one exercises the virtues like honesty, one is bound to achieve greater wealth, success, and honor. Watch what you say because you never know who might be listening. Question 17. 17. In what way would Thomas Hill’s notion of “self-acceptance”, as described in “Ideals of Human Excellence and Preserving Natural Environments”, correspond to Aristotle’s conception of eudaimonia? (Points : 1) They both are inherently immoral and contrary to virtue. They both require the total rejection of standards outside the self. They both have nothing to do with ethics. They both involve acknowledging and respecting the kinds of creatures that we are. Question 18. 18. According to Aristotle, we should begin ethical inquiry by specifying: (Points : 1) the ultimate aim of all that we do. what our fundamental duties are. what constraints on behavior it would be reasonable to agree to. the will of God. Question 19. 19. In the article “Magnanimity and Integrity as Military Virtues,” Robinson describes “magnanimity” as the mean between the extremes of: (Points : 1) Vanity and pusillanimity Vanity and vice Generosity and selfishness Generosity and greed Question 20. 20. In the article “Magnanimity and Integrity as Military Virtues,” Robinson argues that honor can: (Points : 1) Encourage restraint in warfare Encourage heroism in warfare Encourage abuse in warfare All of the above Time Remaining: ———————————————— [supanova_blog_name_sc] OR D ER PL AGIAR ISM-FR EE AN SWER Posted in College Assignment Help, College Homework helpTagged college essay help, this Finance Homework Help Asked on October 13, 2016 Finance Question: FINANCE HOMEWORK 1.

Malee Traisawasdichai finds that fairways make good business but bad neighbours. ‘My wife was a caddie. She is dead.’ So spoke 27-year-old Pong Kheungkham, father of a little boy and a poor farmer from Baan Thung Yang – a small village in Chiang Rai Province, Thailand. Janpeng, his wife, was two months pregnant when she miscarried on the 17th hole at the Santiburi Private Community. A month later she was dead. Her caddie friends witnessed the incident. ‘She might have thought she could manage to complete the 18-hole course distance,’ said one. ‘We caddies know how difficult it is to get our wage. Sometimes we have to wait for a week or two to get a round of work. So she might have tried to finish.’ Perhaps it was because she had carried the heavy bag over such a long course, or because of daily exposure to the chemical pesticides used to keep the greens – but the cause of Janpeng’s death was never clearly established. Her story shows how rich golfers’ élitist passion is satisfied at the expense of the poor. Golf constitutes an arrogant ‘power sport’ for the privileged few. Around Asia the advent of the golf course means disruption of ecology and the human community. Japan, Asia’s most golf-crazy country, has at least 2,016 golf courses covering 2,227.7 square kilometres of land. The area exceeds that of Tokyo.1 In Thailand – the centre of ‘golf mania’ in South-East Asia – 200 golf courses have depleted the country’s limited water supply that is vital for rice farmers. In Malaysia over 160 golf courses have swallowed up tracts of rainforest. In Indonesia 91 golf courses have bitten a big chunk out of traditional farming wetlands and nature reserves, in one case expelling nearly 1,000 families. China, Burma and Indochina are the new frontier of the corporate golf industry. A ‘golf-resortplus-casino’ package is being introduced to Burma, Laos and Cambodia. In Laos, Thai developer Sompot Piyaoui’s plans for the Kon Phapheng Resort Development include two casinos and two courses, a 1,200-room hotel, an international airport and a power station. The complex will be built in the middle of the Khon Phapheng Fall, an area known as ‘the Niagara of Asia’. Thai journalist Ing K warns: ‘Setting up a resort complex in the middle of the Khon Phapheng Fall, which is ecologically sensitive and the habitat of unique fauna like the Irrawaddy dolphins, is in itself unacceptable. It is a black and white issue. It’s like you were going to poison the Mekong River right into Cambodia and Vietnam.’ Cheap land, weak regulations and feeble local opposition in South-East Asia – particularly Indochina – are a strong draw for Japanese developers. Back home in Japan strong local opposition has managed to halt the construction of 720 golf courses since 1988. For Asia’s poorest countries golf resorts provide a lure to draw easy money from wealthy tourists, expatriates and the local nouveaux riches. But golf is an expensive game for poor countries. Gen Morita of the Global Anti-Golf Movement (GAG’M) notes: ‘Golf means using very large amounts of land. The average golf course uses about 100 hectares, whereas a football pitch is only one hectare. So for just one 18-hole golf course you could have 100 football pitches.’ How many ‘golf dollars’ stay in the host country is also a matter of debate. ‘When a tourist starts his journey he buys a Nikon camera and then flies with Japan Airlines,’ says Thai antigolf activist Chyant Pholpoke. ‘Arriving in, say, the Philippines for golfing, he takes a Toyota limousine and checks in at a Japanese-owned hotel. He goes up to his room in a Hitachi lift where he takes a drink from a Toshiba fridge, turns on a Sharp air conditioner and a National TV.’ The golfing craze and its jetset lifestyle raise crucial questions: how are limited natural resources to be used and for whom? One Vietnamese entrepreneur has his doubts about whether exclusive new clubs can attract enough members to be viable. ‘Golf is a completely new thing in Vietnam,’ he says. ‘There’s still no middle class… We won’t see big numbers of expatriates living here in the next five years.’ The Japanese-owned Song Be Golf Resort in Ho Chi Minh City is expected to charge a fee of $30,000 for corporate memberships. The average Vietnamese would have to work 100 years to join.2 Golf is the sport of the powerful and influential. In Indonesia half the existing golf courses are owned by President Suharto and his family3. Bruce Bennett exposed this closely-knit world in his award-winning documentary The Green Menace: The Untold Story of Golf. The film notes that golf is the preferred sport of the Thai officer corps. ‘The Thai military takes after the American model. The US armed forces have 300 golf courses, maintained at a cost of $60 million a year to the American taxpayers.’ According to Thai Lieutenant General Sanan Kajornglam: ‘Most generals have to play golf because it’s a high-society game. Golf is expensive. If you are known to be good at golf and you play with the right clans, then let your superiors win, you can curry favour and get promoted.’ A few years ago the Bangkok Nation published a photo showing golf superstar Jack Nicklaus hitching a ride on a Thai Air Force helicopter to survey the site of the Nicklaus-designed Golden Valley project. This misuse of public funds started a scandal which escalated when course-construction crews blew up a state-owned mountain and encroached upon the KhaoYai National Park. The Green Menace film caught Jack Nicklaus in a particularly expansive mood in Thailand: ‘You’ve got great land. You’ve got plenty of water, with the amount of rain that you have. Certainly, you don’t have problems from our standpoint.’ Thai farmers are not so sure. In 1994 Thailand experienced its worst-ever drought year. The Royal Irrigation Department (RID) discovered 13 golf courses illegally diverting water from irrigation canals. The Government, however, prohibited farmers from growing a second rice crop while golf courses went on pumping water from the reservoirs. It’s a delicious irony that Army Chief General Wimol Wongwanich held the ‘Thai Golf Day’ in April to raise funds for drought-ridden farmers. An independent survey conducted by Bangkok’s Mahidol University confirmed that an average course consumes 6,500 cubic metres of water per day – enough to satisfy the domestic needs of 60,000 rural villagers. Suradej Vongsinlang – a water-resource engineer who quit his golf-course job – is candid about water-theft tactics: ‘Some golf courses near rivers dump rocks and sand into the river to make the water level rise, so it will flow into their golf course.’ Caddies and course workers also fall victim to pesticide poisoning. Caddies interviewed at Santiburi golf course in Chiang Rai said they all suffered skin disease, dizziness and kidney problems after just a year’s work. Dead birds are found almost every morning after greenkeepers have sprayed pesticide at night. In the US a Golf Course Superintendent Association’s study confirmed that: ‘Among golf-course superintendents there is more lung cancer, more brain cancer, and prostate. Especially lung cancer.’ The image of Thai women is often used to sell the country to tourists – golf tourism is no different. One promotion leaflet entitled ‘Thailand Paradise Golf Plus’ pulls few punches: ‘The splendour of the courses and club houses is unrivalled in Europe. And the service offered by the caddies, who are young, friendly, knowledgeable – and usually female – is unparalleled in the world.’ A receptionist at the Santiburi golf course revealed: ‘I have been approached by golfers many times to go out. Once a Malaysian pro told me if I went with him he would give me all the money he won from the game. But I managed to refuse his offer gently.’ Amid uncontrolled proliferation of golf courses worldwide, GAG’M has been formed by networks from 16 countries to deflate the pro-golf rhetoric. They declared 1994 ‘No Golf Year’, calling for a world-wide moratorium on golf-course construction, a ban on introducing golf as an Olympic sport and a halt to the heavy promotion of golf-related tourism. GAG’M’s spokesperson Gen Morita draws lessons from his native Japan: ‘Our job is to let people – particularly those in the Third World – know about the destruction golf courses cause… In Japan we have experienced all these mistakes… and suffered and lost so much; the river, the wetlands, the forest and the whole social atmosphere.’ It remains to be seen whether the ‘nature-loving’ golfer can be convinced.

The following is discovered during the evaluation of his performance. The project managers first project had an ending cost variance of-500, used two critical resources, needed to rework the project charter during project executing, and was ranked 14th in priority within the company. The second project finished with a schedule variance of+100, was completed with a vastly compressed schedule, and received a letter of recommendation from the sponsor, but the product of the project was not used. The third project had 23 percent more changes than expected, had an SPI of 0.90, and 25 open items in the issue log when the project was completed. Each of these projects had a cost budget of $10,000 and 20 to 28 percent more changes than others of its size. The project management office decided not to add this project manager to the team. Which of the following BEST describes why this might have happened? A. The project manager has only managed low-priority projects, and he had to compress the schedule, showing that he does not have the skill to work in the project management office. B. Issue logs should not be used on projects of this size, showing that the project manager does not have the knowledge to work in the project management office. C. The project manager did not effectively involve the stakeholders, showing that he does not have the knowledge to work in the project management office. D. The project manager had two critical resources on his team and still needed to rework the project charter, showing that he does not have the discipline to work in the project management office. ———————————————— Finance Question: The money a bank or other lending institution is willing to lend you is called the amount of credit extended or the ______ of the loan. ———————————————— Management Question: Distinguish the problem below……………………………….. ———————————————— Accounting Question: Do it on my behalf…………………………………….. ———————————————— Managerial Accounting Question: Nokia’s managers rely on reports of variable costs.

According to “Ideals of Human Excellence and Preserving Natural Environments,” Thomas Hill would claim that a failure to appreciate the aesthetic value of the environment (Points : 1) might indicate that the person simply has a different set of subjective tastes. might indicate that one lacks a precise philosophical account of the beautiful. might indicate an inability to appreciate the true value of things in general. might indicate an inability to express proper self-deception. Question 3. 3. In his discussion of virtue and honor in the military, what does Robinson consider to be the relation between integrity and magnanimity? (Points : 1) They both should be pursued to the greatest extent possible. The inner honor of integrity should always take priority over the outer honors associated with magnanimity. Finding a suitable balance between the two helps prevent the excesses of each on its own. The prospect of honors from one’s peers is the only realistic motivation for a soldier to act virtuously. Question 4. 4. Aristotle conceives of a virtue as: (Points : 1) a rule that tells you what the right action is. a positive self-image. a state of character that enables practically wise choices. conformity to society’s standards. Question 5. 5. In The Emperor’s Club, what best describes the teacher’s (Kevin Kline) response to his student’s (Emile Hirsch) admission of cheating? (Points : 1) He hugged him and thanked him for being honest. He threatened to turn him in and have him punished. d. He reminded him that it is against school policy to cheat, and thus that he erred by breaking the school’s rules. He challenged him to regard virtue and character as more important than success alone. Question 6. 6. According to Thomas Hill’s account of environmental ethics, a person might show a lack of virtue when they: (Points : 1) fail to find any aesthetic value in nature. fail to realize that human needs and interests are worthless and unimportant. fail to recognize the equal rights of nonsentient beings like plants and rocks. All of the above. Question 7. 7. Aristotle states that if we ask what the highest good is: (Points : 1) there is no agreement about the answer. there is no objective answer to this question. most people agree that it is wealth. nearly everyone agrees that it is happiness. Question 8. 8. According to Robinson’s article “Magnanimity and Integrity as Military Virtues”, a person who has integrity is someone who: (Points : 1) Does what is right, even when it is disapproved of by others Does what is right, only if it is approved of by others Does what is right, only when commanded to do so Does what is right, unless they are commanded to do otherwise Question 9. 9. Aristotle regards passions and feelings, such as anger, as: (Points : 1) capable of excess, defect, or the intermediate state characteristic of virtue. good when directed by reason toward the right objects and the right amounts. always either an excess or a defect in one’s character. Both (a) and (b). Question 10. 10. According to Aristotle, happiness is: (Points : 1) a life that is lived well. satisfying as many desires and goals as possible. pleasure and the absence of pain. constant feelings of euphoric bliss and joy. Question 11. 11. Aristotle describes each virtue as: (Points : 1) a maximum of some character trait. a minimum of some character trait. an intermediate between excess and defect of some character trait. none of the above Question 12. 12. In the article “Magnanimity and Integrity as Military Virtues,” Robinson describes magnanimity and integrity as both primarily concerned with what? (Points : 1) Honor Wealth Courage Generosity Question 13. 13. In the article “Magnanimity and Integrity as Military Virtues,” Robinson suggests that the more closely one associates with one’s identity with a certain group, the more one will (Points : 1) Associate one’s own honor with rejecting the honor of the group Associate one’s own honor with the honor of the group Associate one’s own honor with that of the enemy group Associate one’s own honor with the virtue of prudence Question 14. 14. What would best express Colonel Nicholson’s (Alec Guinness) view regarding what makes a good soldier, as expressed in the The Bridge on the River Kwai clip? (Points : 1) The virtues of a good soldier are consistent no matter the circumstance. A good solider acts virtuously even when it may not directly benefit himself and his country. The good soldier maintains his or her integrity even if the enemy does not. All of the above. Question 15. 15. In the article “Magnanimity and Integrity as Military Virtues,” Robinson agrees with Aquinas’ idea that (Points : 1) Honor is unimportant Honor is unrelated to integrity Honor must be displayed in action Honor is a subjective state of mind Question 16. 16. Which of the following would be an idea shared both by the teacher (Kevin Kline) from the clip of The Emperor’s Club, and by Aristotle? (Points : 1) If you act dishonestly, you are bound to eventually get caught, and that is why you should always be honest. Cheating might lead to external success, but at the cost of internal failure. If one exercises the virtues like honesty, one is bound to achieve greater wealth, success, and honor. Watch what you say because you never know who might be listening. Question 17. 17. In what way would Thomas Hill’s notion of “self-acceptance”, as described in “Ideals of Human Excellence and Preserving Natural Environments”, correspond to Aristotle’s conception of eudaimonia? (Points : 1) They both are inherently immoral and contrary to virtue. They both require the total rejection of standards outside the self. They both have nothing to do with ethics. They both involve acknowledging and respecting the kinds of creatures that we are. Question 18. 18. According to Aristotle, we should begin ethical inquiry by specifying: (Points : 1) the ultimate aim of all that we do. what our fundamental duties are. what constraints on behavior it would be reasonable to agree to. the will of God. Question 19. 19. In the article “Magnanimity and Integrity as Military Virtues,” Robinson describes “magnanimity” as the mean between the extremes of: (Points : 1) Vanity and pusillanimity Vanity and vice Generosity and selfishness Generosity and greed Question 20. 20. In the article “Magnanimity and Integrity as Military Virtues,” Robinson argues that honor can: (Points : 1) Encourage restraint in warfare Encourage heroism in warfare Encourage abuse in warfare All of the above Time Remaining: ———————————————— [supanova_blog_name_sc] OR D ER PL AGIAR ISM-FR EE AN SWER Posted in College Assignment Help, College Homework helpTagged college essay help, this Business Homework Help Asked on October 13, 2016 Business Question: MM255 assignment Please use a in text citation to complete this assignment, We have to show the work for each question problem ———————————————— Management Question: Please help with answering all of the questions in this assignment.

In order to obtain an accurate understanding, a meeting with the Chief Financial Officer was requested. With the meeting set for Monday morning (plan on 45 minutes), there are a number of items that will need to be considered as you reflect on the experiences learned at your previous employer. Prior to giving notice and submitting your letter of resignation with your previous employer, the outside auditors as part of their standard procedures were in the process of issuing a letter to management regarding their findings and concerns on the monthly closing process and production of the monthly interim financial statements. According to the draft of the letter, the auditor’s concerns focused on the accuracy of the monthly financial statements, lack of internal control and ethical conduct in the office. Because of the restriction placed on the scope of the audit, incomplete documentation, missed closing entries not revealed to the auditors, and the general climate of disorder among the accounting staff that a qualified opinion along with a going concern comment was recorded in the draft letter. This letter in final form untimely led to the dismissal of the Chief Financial Officer and the resignation of the Treasurer of the Board of Directors. Question: Develop an interview agenda for the meeting with the Chief Financial Officer. Be certain to consider not only your prior experience as you make a list of your questions (10) relating to the accounting cycle at the organization but also a careful ear and eye for hints of the type of problems present with your new employer as they affect the accounting cycle process. Also, develop for each question the Chief Financial Officer’s response and appropriate reference citations in APA format. In addition to the standard approach to agenda development (list of topics, estimate of time for each item to be discussed, and any written material that you would like to have the Chief Financial Officer review prior to the meeting) be aware of the meeting time and the politics of the office. ———————————————— Finance Question: An investor has two bonds in her portfolio, Bond C and Bond Z.

(GBI) If anybody already has an instant solution, i wont mind as i need this solution ASAP. Financial Accounting Review Practice Set Assignment Overview This assignment is a review of general financial accounting principles and procedures. In this assignment you will create general journal entries for a series of transactions. You may optionally show the impact of these transactions on a set of t-accounts and you must create a trial balance and adjusted trial balance. You will then close out the income statement accounts as you would at year end. Detailed Assignment Requirements The next few pages show the balances in GBI accounts as of December 31st and then the descriptions of events occurring during January for which you are to make general journal entries in a manual accounting system. Your manual accounting system needs to include a general journal, t-accounts, and a trial balance, all of which will be generated in Excel, (see the sample problem for the format). Don’t forget to include your beginning and ending balances in your t-accounts Assignment Steps 1. Record the daily transactions if appropriate, (some events presented may not involve journal entries), as general journal entries into Excel. ii. You must use Excel formulas as much as possible in this assignment. For example, you should design your Journal Entry worksheet so that by entering the account number, the proper account title is automatically filled in the adjacent column. iii. The use of t-accounts is not required (nor recommended) though you may use them if you desire. Doing so will take quite a bit longer than using SUMIF formulas on your trial balance worksheet to reference the journal entries. iv. If done correctly, changing the account number on a journal entry should result in related changes to the numbers on your trial balance worksheet. As much as possible, you should create links between your spreadsheets and complete formulas to expedite this process and minimize the risk of an error in data entry. 2. The next step is to record the adjusting entries into the general journal and then link them into the trial balance. 3. Record closing entries in your trial balance as if this were a year-end close. Closing entries must consist only of Excel formulas on your trial balance worksheet (i.e. nothing on the journal entries worksheet). 4. A PDF version of the completed, month-end trial balance is provided for you to check your work. Matching your Excel file with the trial balance is no guarantee that you will earn 100% of the points on this assignment. In addition to some other things, I will do one or more of the following to further test your work: i. Delete one or more journal entries (for example, for the last 10 days of the month). ii. Change some account numbers and/or values on journal entries. iii. Change beginning balances from debits to credits or vice versa. In all cases your Excel file should be designed in such a way to appropriately recalculate the trial balance worksheet to reflect the kinds of data changes made above. In no case should you “hard code” values on your trial balance that will prevent this from happening (or you will lose points). Changes should also not result in negative values appearing on your trial balance worksheet (a negative debit should really be a positive number in the credit column or vice versa). Save your Excel workbook with all four spreadsheets: General Journal, Trial Balance, Beginning Balances, and Chart of Accounts. ———————————————— Economics Question: Graphically, expansionary fiscal policy is displayed by a shift to the _____ in aggregate ______. ———————————————— Accounting Question: Distribution of Various Types of Property. During the current year, Zeta Corporation distributes the assets listed below to its sole shareholder, Susan. For each asset listed, determine the gross income recognized by Susan, her basis in the asset, the amount of gain or loss recognized by Zeta, and the effect of the distribution on Zeta’s E&P. Assume that Zeta has an E&P balance exceeding the amount distributed and is subject to a 34% marginal tax rate. Unless stated otherwise, adjusted bases for taxable income and E&P purposes are the same. A parcel of land used in Zeta’s business that has a $200,000 FMV and a $125,000 adjusted basis. Assume the same facts as in Part a except that the land is subject to a $140,000 mortgage. FIFO inventory having a $25,000 FMV and an $18,000 adjusted basis. A building used in Zeta’s business having an original cost of $225,000, a $450,000 FMV, and a $150,000 adjusted basis for taxable income purposes. Zeta has claimed $75,000 of depreciation for taxable income purposes under the straight-line method. Depreciation for E&P purposes is $60,000. An automobile used in Zeta’s business having an original cost of $12,000, an $8,000 FMV, and a $5,760 adjusted basis, on which Zeta has claimed $6,240 of MACRS depreciation for taxable income purposes.

The estimated selling price and variable cost for each type of boat are summarized in the following table: Boat Variable Cost Selling Price Bass $12,500 $23,000 Ski $8,500 $18,000 Speed $13,700 $26,000 The company has incurred fixed costs of $2,800,000 to set up its manufacturing operation and begin production. Lakeside has also entered into agreements with several boat dealers in the region to provide a minimum of 70 bass boats, 50 ski boats, and 50 speedboats. Alternatively, the company is unsure of what actual demand will be, so it has decided to limit production to no more than 120 of any one boat. The company wants to determine the number of boats that it must sell to break even while minimizing its total variable cost. Formulate a linear programming model for this problem. Solve the model by using the computer. x = bass boat; boat; z= speed boat 23,000x + 18,000y + 26,000z = 12,500x + 8,500y + 13,700z + 2,800,000 10,500x+ 9,500y + 12,300z = 2, 800, 000 Minimize Z= 12,500x + 8,500y + 13,700z Subject to 10,500x + 9,500y + 12,300z = 2,800,000 X=> 70 X< Y=>50 Y< Z=>50 Z< X, y, z =>0 TC=$2,925,284.55 Can you have me understand how to get the total cost , break the problem down ———————————————— Business Question: TC = 100 + 60Q – 3Q 2 + 0.1Q 3 TC = 100 + 60Q + 3Q 2 TC = 100 + 60Q a.

Conrad Moffat Black (Black) was born into a life of privilege in Montreal in 1944. His father, George Montegue Black, was a wealthy brewery executive. Black received part of his education at Toronto’s most prestigious boys’ school, Upper Canada College. But, he was expelled from UCC for selling exam papers to other students3. He went on to Carlton University where he majored in History, then Laval for Law, and finally McGill for a MA in history. After graduating from Carlton, he immediately began acquiring newspapers publishers. In 1978 Black, took over control of Argus which held a controlling block of Hollinger Inc.4 When acquired, Argus was a giant holding company, but over the years Black has divested the assets of Argus piecemeal for profit. It was these profits that provided the capital to focus on newspaper acquisitions. While Hollinger Inc. has been in existence in one form or another since 1909, it was only after 1985 that the company focused on newspapers. At one time Black controlled the third largest newspaper publisher in the world with revenue of $2 billion in 1999. As a newspaper owner, he had a reputation for making deep cuts in costs in order to turn a profit5. Black’s views of journalists are well known. He has described journalists as “ignorant, lazy, opinionated, intellectually dishonest and inadequately supervised hacks”6. Black is a hands-on owner who is known to routinely intervene in editorial policy-making7. Radler explained the Hollinger’s editorial policy as “if editors disagree with us they should disagree with us when they are no longer in our employ8…” Black holds extremely right-wing political views. Among his well-publicised opinions is that Canada should become part of the USA. Black is famous for his clever use of the English language and his aggressive wit. He has written three books including biographies on: Franklin D. Roosevelt, 2003; Maurice Duplessis, 1976 and an autobiography, 1993. Black surrendered his Canadian citizenship to accept his peerage. On October 30, 2001 he was inducted into the House of Lords under the sponsorship of Margaret Thatcher and Lord Carrington, former Secretary General of NATO. Black was given the title Lord Black of Crossharbour. Since mid-2003 Black has had a rapid descent from grace. He has been accused of using HII as a personal bank account at minority shareholders’ expense. He claims his friends have abandoned him and that he has become a pariah of his society. Black not only faces personal bankruptcy if unsuccessful in defending a $1.25 billion lawsuit files against him by HII12 but also could end up in jail if found guilty of all the misdealing he has been accused of by the SEC as discussed below. SEC Complaint On January 16, 2004, the SEC filed a complaint13 against HII alleging among other things that: § From at least 1999 and continuing through at least 2001, HII failed to disclose material information in required filings with the SEC regarding the transfer of corporate assets14 § In order to cause some of the transfer of corporate assets, HII personnel falsified corporate books and records; § HII failed to keep books, records and accounts which accurately reflect transactions; § HII failed to devise and maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that transactions were recorded in such a way to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP; and § At least US$32 million was transferred to the benefit of insiders and related entities to the detriment of other shareholders. The SEC cited a specific example of their allegations, which involved the 1998 sale of assets, including the publication American Trucker, to Intertec Publishing Corporation Hollinger case V10.doc Page 6 of 13 with Intertec. Approximately $2 million of the purchase price was allocated as a noncompetition payment. In 1999 the approximately $2 million was transferred to Hollinger Inc. Therefore, although the non-competition agreement was between Intertec and HII, the payment was made to Hollinger Inc. even though there was no signed non-competition agreement between Intertec and Hollinger Inc. As a result, the shareholders of HII did not benefit from this payment; rather it was Hollinger Inc. that benefited. As well, HII did not disclose the approximately $2 million payment to Hollinger Inc. made in connection with the sale of American Trucker in their filings with the SEC until November 2003 divesting itself of many of its subsidiaries as a means of reducing its crippling debt load and service obligations, which it had accumulated as a consequence of earlier acquisitions. Based on the 2002 10K HII had $510 million of debt classified as current. When many assets were sold to reduce the debt, a portion of the proceeds was set-aside as “non-competition” payments owing to Hollinger Inc. or senior executives of HII personally. As a result of these payments the minority shareholders of HII suffered. As an example of a transaction, if the sale proceeds from the sale of a subsidiary publishing company were $100 million with a carrying value of $90 million, normally the gain for HII would be $10 million. But, a portion of the gain, say $2 million, was allocated to a non-competition expense to be paid to Hollinger Inc. Thus, the actual gain for HII was only $8 million. Consequently, the minority shareholders would benefit from only a portion of the gain. ———————————————— Economics Question: 1. Suppose that investment is not responsive to the interest rate. a.

In 2004, Katherine English died, and her son, Mark, took control of the business. By 2009, the company was facing stiff competition from national snack-food companies. Mark was advised that the company’s plants needed to gain better control over production costs. To achieve this objective, he hired a consultant to install a standard costing system. To help the consultant in establishing the necessary standards, Mark sent her the following memo: MEMO To:Darlene Swasey, CMA From:Mark English, President, Tasty Apple Subject:Description and Data Relating to the Production of Our Cinnamon Apple Chips Date:November 28, 2009 The manufacturing process for our chips begins when the apples are placed into a large vat in which they are automatically washed. After washing, the apples flow directly to equipment that automatically peels and removes the apple’s core. The peeled and de-cored apples then pass by inspectors who manually cut out deep bruises or other blemishes. After inspection, the apples are automatically sliced and dropped into the cooking oil. The frying process is closely monitored by an employee. After they are cooked, the chips pass by more inspectors, who sort out the unacceptable finished chips (those that are discolored or too small). The chips then continue on the conveyor belt to a bagging machine that bags them in one-pound bags. The bags are then placed in a box and shipped. Each box holds 16 bags. The raw apple pieces (bruised and blemished), peelings, and rejected finished chips are sold to animal feed producers for $0.08 per pound. The cores are sold to a juice producer for $0.16 per pound. The company uses this revenue to reduce the cost of apples; we would like this fact reflected in the price standard relating to apples. Tasty Apple purchases high-quality apples at a cost of $0.256 per pound. Each apple averages 4.25 ounces. Under efficient operating conditions, it takes four apples to produce one 16-ounce bag of chips. Although we label bags as containing 16 ounces, we actually place 16.2 ounces in each bag. We plan to continue this policy to ensure customer satisfaction. In addition to apples, other raw materials are the cooking oil, cinnamon, bags, and boxes. Cooking oil costs $0.04 per ounce, and we use 3.3 ounces of oil per bag of chips. The cost of cinnamon is so small that we add it to overhead. Bags cost $0.12 each and boxes $0.62. Our plant produces 9.2 million bags of chips per year. A recent engineering study revealed that we would need the following direct labor hours to produce this quantity if our plant operates at peak efficiency: I’m not sure that we can achieve the level of efficiency advocated by the study. In my opinion, the plant is operating efficiently for the level of output indicated if the hours allowed are about 10 percent higher. The hourly labor rates agreed upon with the union are as follows: Overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor dollars. We have found that variable overhead averages about 112 percent of our direct labor cost. Our fixed overhead is budgeted at $2,419,026 for the coming year. Required: 1.Discuss the benefits of a standard costing system for Tasty Apple. 2.Discuss the president’s concern about using the result of the engineering study to set the labor standards. What standard would you recommend? 3.Develop a standard cost sheet for Tasty Apple’s cinnamon apple chips. 4.Suppose that the level of production was 9.2 million bags of apple chips for the year as planned. Assuming that 9.8 million pounds of apples were used, compute the direct materials usage variance for apples. ———————————————— Economics Question: The mean is 177.

You learned in problem 6 (on the liquidity trap) in Chapter 5 that money demand becomes very flat at low interest rates. For this problem, consider the money demand function to be horizontal at a zero nominal interest rate. a. Draw the LM curve. How does the slope of the curve change when the interest rate rises above zero? When the interest rate increases above zero, the slope of the LM curve also increases above zero. As the interest rate increases, the slope of the LM curve will increase, but at zero or below people would hold cash instead of bonds, so the interest rate is zero.The LM has a flat segment at i=0 and then slopes up b. Draw the IS curve. Does the shape of the curve change (necessarily) when the interest rate falls below zero? There is no reason why the slope of the IS curve needs to change when the interest rate is zero. In theory, if the interest rate is zero, output could not increase any further. The IS slopes down as before. There is no flat segment at i=0. Arguably, the IS curve is undefined for nominal interest rates below zero. c. Draw the AD curve? (Hint: From the IS-LM diagram, think about the price level at which the interest rate is zero. How does the AD curve look above this price level? How does the AD curve look below this price level?) As P falls, M/P rises, and the nominal interest rate falls. Eventually, when P falls far enough, the nominal interest reaches zero. The AD curve slopes down until P reaches the level consistent with i=0. For levels of P below this threshold, the AD curve is vertical. d. Draw the AD and AS curves and assume that equilibrium is at a point where output is below the natural level of output and where the interest rate is zero. Suppose the central bank increases the money supply. What will be the effects on output in the short run and in the medium run? Explain in words. There is no effect on output in the short run or the medium run. Since the money stock does not affect the interest rate, it does not affect output. Essentially, when the output is below the natural level of output, the actual price level is lower than the expected price level.

In order to obtain an accurate understanding, a meeting with the Chief Financial Officer was requested. With the meeting set for Monday morning (plan on 45 minutes), there are a number of items that will need to be considered as you reflect on the experiences learned at your previous employer. Prior to giving notice and submitting your letter of resignation with your previous employer, the outside auditors as part of their standard procedures were in the process of issuing a letter to management regarding their findings and concerns on the monthly closing process and production of the monthly interim financial statements. According to the draft of the letter, the auditor’s concerns focused on the accuracy of the monthly financial statements, lack of internal control and ethical conduct in the office. Because of the restriction placed on the scope of the audit, incomplete documentation, missed closing entries not revealed to the auditors, and the general climate of disorder among the accounting staff that a qualified opinion along with a going concern comment was recorded in the draft letter. This letter in final form untimely led to the dismissal of the Chief Financial Officer and the resignation of the Treasurer of the Board of Directors. Question: Develop an interview agenda for the meeting with the Chief Financial Officer. Be certain to consider not only your prior experience as you make a list of your questions (10) relating to the accounting cycle at the organization but also a careful ear and eye for hints of the type of problems present with your new employer as they affect the accounting cycle process. Also, develop for each question the Chief Financial Officer’s response and appropriate reference citations in APA format. In addition to the standard approach to agenda development (list of topics, estimate of time for each item to be discussed, and any written material that you would like to have the Chief Financial Officer review prior to the meeting) be aware of the meeting time and the politics of the office. ———————————————— Finance Question: An investor has two bonds in her portfolio, Bond C and Bond Z.

Your manual accounting system needs to include a general journal, t-accounts, and a trial balance, all of which will be generated in Excel, (see the sample problem for the format). Don’t forget to include your beginning and ending balances in your t-accounts Assignment Steps 1. Record the daily transactions if appropriate, (some events presented may not involve journal entries), as general journal entries into Excel. ii. You must use Excel formulas as much as possible in this assignment. For example, you should design your Journal Entry worksheet so that by entering the account number, the proper account title is automatically filled in the adjacent column. iii. The use of t-accounts is not required (nor recommended) though you may use them if you desire. Doing so will take quite a bit longer than using SUMIF formulas on your trial balance worksheet to reference the journal entries. iv. If done correctly, changing the account number on a journal entry should result in related changes to the numbers on your trial balance worksheet. As much as possible, you should create links between your spreadsheets and complete formulas to expedite this process and minimize the risk of an error in data entry. 2. The next step is to record the adjusting entries into the general journal and then link them into the trial balance. 3. Record closing entries in your trial balance as if this were a year-end close. Closing entries must consist only of Excel formulas on your trial balance worksheet (i.e. nothing on the journal entries worksheet). 4. A PDF version of the completed, month-end trial balance is provided for you to check your work. Matching your Excel file with the trial balance is no guarantee that you will earn 100% of the points on this assignment. In addition to some other things, I will do one or more of the following to further test your work: i. Delete one or more journal entries (for example, for the last 10 days of the month). ii. Change some account numbers and/or values on journal entries. iii. Change beginning balances from debits to credits or vice versa. In all cases your Excel file should be designed in such a way to appropriately recalculate the trial balance worksheet to reflect the kinds of data changes made above. In no case should you “hard code” values on your trial balance that will prevent this from happening (or you will lose points). Changes should also not result in negative values appearing on your trial balance worksheet (a negative debit should really be a positive number in the credit column or vice versa). Save your Excel workbook with all four spreadsheets: General Journal, Trial Balance, Beginning Balances, and Chart of Accounts. ———————————————— Economics Question: Graphically, expansionary fiscal policy is displayed by a shift to the _____ in aggregate ______. ———————————————— Accounting Question: Distribution of Various Types of Property. During the current year, Zeta Corporation distributes the assets listed below to its sole shareholder, Susan. For each asset listed, determine the gross income recognized by Susan, her basis in the asset, the amount of gain or loss recognized by Zeta, and the effect of the distribution on Zeta’s E&P.

The estimated selling price and variable cost for each type of boat are summarized in the following table: Boat Variable Cost Selling Price Bass $12,500 $23,000 Ski $8,500 $18,000 Speed $13,700 $26,000 The company has incurred fixed costs of $2,800,000 to set up its manufacturing operation and begin production. Lakeside has also entered into agreements with several boat dealers in the region to provide a minimum of 70 bass boats, 50 ski boats, and 50 speedboats. Alternatively, the company is unsure of what actual demand will be, so it has decided to limit production to no more than 120 of any one boat. The company wants to determine the number of boats that it must sell to break even while minimizing its total variable cost. Formulate a linear programming model for this problem. Solve the model by using the computer. x = bass boat; boat; z= speed boat 23,000x + 18,000y + 26,000z = 12,500x + 8,500y + 13,700z + 2,800,000 10,500x+ 9,500y + 12,300z = 2, 800, 000 Minimize Z= 12,500x + 8,500y + 13,700z Subject to 10,500x + 9,500y + 12,300z = 2,800,000 X=> 70 X< Y=>50 Y< Z=>50 Z< X, y, z =>0 TC=$2,925,284.55 Can you have me understand how to get the total cost , break the problem down ———————————————— Business Question: TC = 100 + 60Q – 3Q 2 + 0.1Q 3 TC = 100 + 60Q + 3Q 2 TC = 100 + 60Q a.

Conrad Moffat Black (Black) was born into a life of privilege in Montreal in 1944. His father, George Montegue Black, was a wealthy brewery executive. Black received part of his education at Toronto’s most prestigious boys’ school, Upper Canada College. But, he was expelled from UCC for selling exam papers to other students3. He went on to Carlton University where he majored in History, then Laval for Law, and finally McGill for a MA in history. After graduating from Carlton, he immediately began acquiring newspapers publishers. In 1978 Black, took over control of Argus which held a controlling block of Hollinger Inc.4 When acquired, Argus was a giant holding company, but over the years Black has divested the assets of Argus piecemeal for profit. It was these profits that provided the capital to focus on newspaper acquisitions. While Hollinger Inc. has been in existence in one form or another since 1909, it was only after 1985 that the company focused on newspapers. At one time Black controlled the third largest newspaper publisher in the world with revenue of $2 billion in 1999. As a newspaper owner, he had a reputation for making deep cuts in costs in order to turn a profit5. Black’s views of journalists are well known. He has described journalists as “ignorant, lazy, opinionated, intellectually dishonest and inadequately supervised hacks”6. Black is a hands-on owner who is known to routinely intervene in editorial policy-making7. Radler explained the Hollinger’s editorial policy as “if editors disagree with us they should disagree with us when they are no longer in our employ8…” Black holds extremely right-wing political views. Among his well-publicised opinions is that Canada should become part of the USA. Black is famous for his clever use of the English language and his aggressive wit. He has written three books including biographies on: Franklin D. Roosevelt, 2003; Maurice Duplessis, 1976 and an autobiography, 1993. Black surrendered his Canadian citizenship to accept his peerage. On October 30, 2001 he was inducted into the House of Lords under the sponsorship of Margaret Thatcher and Lord Carrington, former Secretary General of NATO. Black was given the title Lord Black of Crossharbour. Since mid-2003 Black has had a rapid descent from grace. He has been accused of using HII as a personal bank account at minority shareholders’ expense. He claims his friends have abandoned him and that he has become a pariah of his society. Black not only faces personal bankruptcy if unsuccessful in defending a $1.25 billion lawsuit files against him by HII12 but also could end up in jail if found guilty of all the misdealing he has been accused of by the SEC as discussed below. SEC Complaint On January 16, 2004, the SEC filed a complaint13 against HII alleging among other things that: § From at least 1999 and continuing through at least 2001, HII failed to disclose material information in required filings with the SEC regarding the transfer of corporate assets14 § In order to cause some of the transfer of corporate assets, HII personnel falsified corporate books and records; § HII failed to keep books, records and accounts which accurately reflect transactions; § HII failed to devise and maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that transactions were recorded in such a way to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP; and § At least US$32 million was transferred to the benefit of insiders and related entities to the detriment of other shareholders. The SEC cited a specific example of their allegations, which involved the 1998 sale of assets, including the publication American Trucker, to Intertec Publishing Corporation Hollinger case V10.doc Page 6 of 13 with Intertec. Approximately $2 million of the purchase price was allocated as a noncompetition payment. In 1999 the approximately $2 million was transferred to Hollinger Inc. Therefore, although the non-competition agreement was between Intertec and HII, the payment was made to Hollinger Inc. even though there was no signed non-competition agreement between Intertec and Hollinger Inc. As a result, the shareholders of HII did not benefit from this payment; rather it was Hollinger Inc. that benefited. As well, HII did not disclose the approximately $2 million payment to Hollinger Inc. made in connection with the sale of American Trucker in their filings with the SEC until November 2003 divesting itself of many of its subsidiaries as a means of reducing its crippling debt load and service obligations, which it had accumulated as a consequence of earlier acquisitions. Based on the 2002 10K HII had $510 million of debt classified as current. When many assets were sold to reduce the debt, a portion of the proceeds was set-aside as “non-competition” payments owing to Hollinger Inc. or senior executives of HII personally. As a result of these payments the minority shareholders of HII suffered. As an example of a transaction, if the sale proceeds from the sale of a subsidiary publishing company were $100 million with a carrying value of $90 million, normally the gain for HII would be $10 million. But, a portion of the gain, say $2 million, was allocated to a non-competition expense to be paid to Hollinger Inc. Thus, the actual gain for HII was only $8 million. Consequently, the minority shareholders would benefit from only a portion of the gain. ———————————————— Economics Question: 1. Suppose that investment is not responsive to the interest rate. a.

In 2004, Katherine English died, and her son, Mark, took control of the business. By 2009, the company was facing stiff competition from national snack-food companies. Mark was advised that the company’s plants needed to gain better control over production costs. To achieve this objective, he hired a consultant to install a standard costing system. To help the consultant in establishing the necessary standards, Mark sent her the following memo: MEMO To:Darlene Swasey, CMA From:Mark English, President, Tasty Apple Subject:Description and Data Relating to the Production of Our Cinnamon Apple Chips Date:November 28, 2009 The manufacturing process for our chips begins when the apples are placed into a large vat in which they are automatically washed. After washing, the apples flow directly to equipment that automatically peels and removes the apple’s core. The peeled and de-cored apples then pass by inspectors who manually cut out deep bruises or other blemishes. After inspection, the apples are automatically sliced and dropped into the cooking oil. The frying process is closely monitored by an employee. After they are cooked, the chips pass by more inspectors, who sort out the unacceptable finished chips (those that are discolored or too small). The chips then continue on the conveyor belt to a bagging machine that bags them in one-pound bags. The bags are then placed in a box and shipped. Each box holds 16 bags. The raw apple pieces (bruised and blemished), peelings, and rejected finished chips are sold to animal feed producers for $0.08 per pound. The cores are sold to a juice producer for $0.16 per pound. The company uses this revenue to reduce the cost of apples; we would like this fact reflected in the price standard relating to apples. Tasty Apple purchases high-quality apples at a cost of $0.256 per pound. Each apple averages 4.25 ounces. Under efficient operating conditions, it takes four apples to produce one 16-ounce bag of chips. Although we label bags as containing 16 ounces, we actually place 16.2 ounces in each bag. We plan to continue this policy to ensure customer satisfaction. In addition to apples, other raw materials are the cooking oil, cinnamon, bags, and boxes. Cooking oil costs $0.04 per ounce, and we use 3.3 ounces of oil per bag of chips. The cost of cinnamon is so small that we add it to overhead. Bags cost $0.12 each and boxes $0.62. Our plant produces 9.2 million bags of chips per year. A recent engineering study revealed that we would need the following direct labor hours to produce this quantity if our plant operates at peak efficiency: I’m not sure that we can achieve the level of efficiency advocated by the study. In my opinion, the plant is operating efficiently for the level of output indicated if the hours allowed are about 10 percent higher. The hourly labor rates agreed upon with the union are as follows: Overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor dollars. We have found that variable overhead averages about 112 percent of our direct labor cost. Our fixed overhead is budgeted at $2,419,026 for the coming year. Required: 1.Discuss the benefits of a standard costing system for Tasty Apple. 2.Discuss the president’s concern about using the result of the engineering study to set the labor standards. What standard would you recommend? 3.Develop a standard cost sheet for Tasty Apple’s cinnamon apple chips. 4.Suppose that the level of production was 9.2 million bags of apple chips for the year as planned. Assuming that 9.8 million pounds of apples were used, compute the direct materials usage variance for apples. ———————————————— Economics Question: The mean is 177.

You learned in problem 6 (on the liquidity trap) in Chapter 5 that money demand becomes very flat at low interest rates. For this problem, consider the money demand function to be horizontal at a zero nominal interest rate. a. Draw the LM curve. How does the slope of the curve change when the interest rate rises above zero? When the interest rate increases above zero, the slope of the LM curve also increases above zero. As the interest rate increases, the slope of the LM curve will increase, but at zero or below people would hold cash instead of bonds, so the interest rate is zero.The LM has a flat segment at i=0 and then slopes up b. Draw the IS curve. Does the shape of the curve change (necessarily) when the interest rate falls below zero? There is no reason why the slope of the IS curve needs to change when the interest rate is zero. In theory, if the interest rate is zero, output could not increase any further. The IS slopes down as before. There is no flat segment at i=0. Arguably, the IS curve is undefined for nominal interest rates below zero. c. Draw the AD curve? (Hint: From the IS-LM diagram, think about the price level at which the interest rate is zero. How does the AD curve look above this price level? How does the AD curve look below this price level?) As P falls, M/P rises, and the nominal interest rate falls. Eventually, when P falls far enough, the nominal interest reaches zero. The AD curve slopes down until P reaches the level consistent with i=0. For levels of P below this threshold, the AD curve is vertical. d. Draw the AD and AS curves and assume that equilibrium is at a point where output is below the natural level of output and where the interest rate is zero. Suppose the central bank increases the money supply. What will be the effects on output in the short run and in the medium run? Explain in words. There is no effect on output in the short run or the medium run. Since the money stock does not affect the interest rate, it does not affect output. Essentially, when the output is below the natural level of output, the actual price level is lower than the expected price level.

Background 2 19 You decided to start a mobile auto detailing service that will visit customers at their homes or businesses, and use traditional, high-quality hand washing and waxing methods. In addition to retail customers, several auto dealers have expressed interest in your services, and you are eager to get started. You plan to hire college stu· dents as technicians, train and supply them, and offer them a share of the profits as an incentive. Your friend, who is an IT major, offered to help you set up an information system by customizing several Microsoft Office applications to meet your needs. She suggested that you prepare an initial context diagram and a DFD diagram 0, and not to be too concerned about the details – just the main entities, data flows, and data stores. Thinking it over, you know that you will have employees, retail customers, auto dealer accounts, one or more suppliers, and your local bank, where you plan to set up a business checking account to handle the business. You also plan to keep track of customers, employee information, profit-sharing data, and an op· erations log, among other things. Tasks 1. Create a context diagram from the new business. It is okay to use your imagination with respect to data flows that you envision. 2. Create a diagram 0 that includes at least three processes and two data stores that would be typical in a small business of this kind.

Some have suggested that the price be raised and the revenues returned to each citizen in the form of a tax rebate. You will use the economic methods you have learned to evaluate such a policy.The ModelLet’s imagine there are only three people living in California, but that each of them have preferences described by the following utility function: u(x1,x2)= x1^1/10*x2^9/10 In that function, x1 is the quantity of water consumed, and x2 is the quantity of the composite good consumed (where the ‘composite good’ represents ‘all other goods’).The State of California will impose a quantity tax on water (t) but will rebate the revenue to each consumer as a lump-sum. The total revenue generated by the tax (R) will be: R=X^1t Where X^1is the total market demand for water, and t is the quantity tax on water. This revenue will be split between the three consumers equally, so that the rebate (r) will be: r=1/3X^1t The three people in our model all have the same preferences, but each has a different income. One of them has an income of $100, another an income of $1,000, and the third has an income of $10,000. The price of water1is $1 and the price of the composite good is $1. The State of California must reduce the total consumption of water to 300 units. 1. Derive each of the consumer’s demand functions for water with the taxes and rebates 2. Derive the total market demand for water with the taxes and rebates 3. Derive a formula for revenue that is a function of only the tax: R(t) 4. Derive a formula for the rebate that is a function of only the tax: r(t) 5. Determine what the tax must be to reduce total consumption of water to 300 units. 6. What is the rebate at the tax determined in previous question? 7. Calculate the quantities consumed for each individual consumer with that tax and rebate. 8. Calculate the level of utility consumed for each individual consumer at these quantities. 9. Which consumers have been made better off and which have been made worse off. 10. How much would the wealthiest consumer we willing to pay to get rid of the tax (aka calculate their equivalent variation)? 11. Would the other two consumers be willing to accept the wealthiest consumer’s offer (aka calculate their compensating variation)? 12. Suppose that the State placed the same tax on water, but did not offer a rebate. Calculate the income and substitution effects for the poorest consumer. ———————————————— Economics Question: I need help with the following questions anyone Please help me ———————————————— Accounting Question: Hello, I need help creating for an unadjusted misstatement audit schedule with a comment on your judgment of the audit findings based on the following audit results the following misstatements (any amount more than 5% of current assets, total assets, and income before taxes): Understated allowance for uncollectible accounts: $95,000 estimated based on analytical procedures Accounts receivable or sales cutoff misstatements: $60,000 estimated population misstatements based on the sample, including sampling error ($60,000 accounts receivables or sales were not included in the cutoff reporting period.)

Doug Dugan owns and operates Doug’s Dog Houses, a successful small business that produces and sells dog houses to customers across the Great Plains region of North America. Each dog house sells for $200. The unit variable costs to produce each standard dog house are $80, and the annual fixed costs for the operation total $18,000. Part A. How many dog houses must Doug’s business sell each year in order to break even? Part B. How much in terms of annual sales revenue (dollars) must Doug’s business sell in order to break even? Question 2. Referring back to Question 1 above, Doug’s Dog Houses just received a special order from Kenny’s Kennels for 1,000 specially insulated and carpeted dog houses offered at a selling price of $250 each. Doug, the owner of Doug’s Dog Houses, believes that along with his normal business volume for standard dog houses he can probably fill this special order through a bulk purchase of some additional building materials and by hiring some temporary part-time labor in the production area. In other words, with some added variable costs, Doug is sure he has enough capacity in his operation to accept the special order without impacting his regular business volume. To help him ultimately decide whether or not to accept the special order of premium insulated dog houses requested by Kenny’s Kennels, Doug listed the following detailed breakdown of the unit costs associated with this product: direct materials, $40; direct labor, $50; variable manufacturing overhead, $20; fixed manufacturing overhead, $10. Part A. List the relevant costs per unit for Doug’s decision as to whether or not to accept the special order. (Hint: be careful…just because a value is listed does not necessarily mean it’s relevant to this decision.) Part B. What would be the change in net income if Doug decides to accept the special order from Kenny’s Kennels? Part C. Considering the analysis above, should Doug’s Dog Houses accept the special order from Kenny’s Kennels? Why or why not? Cameron’s Camera Company manufactures two product lines: cameras and video recorders. The company’s segment income statement below shows how revenues and expenses are broken out between the two product lines. CamerasVideo RecordersTotal Sales revenue$300,000$100,000$400,000 Cost of goods sold Variable$75,000$49,000$124,000 Fixed$82,000$28,000 $110,000 Total cost of goods sold$157,000 $77,000 $234,000 Gross profit$143,000$23,000 $166,000 Marketing and administrative expenses Variable$25,000$28,000$53,000 Fixed$32,000 $19,000$51,000 Total marketing and administrative expenses$57,000 $47,000$104,000 Net income (loss)$86,000 $(24,000)$62,000 Cameron’s management is considering discontinuing the video recorder product line and will need to complete an analysis to determine if this really makes good business sense. While in many cases dropping a product line will have no impact on a company’s fixed costs, in this specific situation the company’s accountants estimated that discontinuing the video recorder line will enable some savings that will decrease the fixed cost of goods sold by $10,000 and also decrease the fixed marketing and administrative expenses by $4,000. For this problem, you will need to complete the incremental analysis below supporting the decision as to whether or not the video recorder product line should be discontinued. Note that there are various ways we can approach this analysis and reach the same conclusion. One method would be to draft an income statement with the video recorders included (we already have this completed) and also draft a separate income statement with the video recorders removed from the company. We could then compare the bottom-line net income of the two statements to see which alternative produces a higher total net income. However, to establish a common approach for everyone, we’ll apply another efficient and logical method by simply listing each relevant revenue and expense factor – these are the items that would change if the video recorder product line were eliminated – and we’ll note the dollar amount of the changes that would occur. The framework for this analysis has been set up for you below where we’ve already listed only the relevant factors (i.e., the factors that would change if the video recorder line is dropped). You need to complete the incremental analysis by reviewing the given problem data above, carefully looking at the listing below, and then inserting the appropriate dollar amounts into each individual “answer box.” In addition to inserting the dollar amounts, also be very careful to properly specify whether each amount would positive or negative…this makes a big difference! Relevant factor if video recorder line is discontinued:Insert change in $: Lost sales revenue from video recorders: Savings in video recorder variable COGS: Savings due to decreased fixed COGS: Savings in video recorder variable marketing & admin costs: Savings due to decreased fixed marketing & admin costs: Net income difference (calculated from above values): Finally, looking at the numerical result of your incremental analysis above… YesNo Should the company discontinue the video recorder product line? Place an “X” in either the “Yes” or “No” box. ———————————————— Finance Question: Pakistan follows the following budgeting system at Federal level: (a) Zero-Based Budgeting (b) Program Budgeting (c) Responsibility Budgeting (d) Incremental / decremental budgeting ———————————————— Finance Question: Preparation of budget by a company is compulsory under: (a) No Law (b) Several laws (c) Securities & Exchange Ordinance 1969 (d) Companies Ordinance 1984 ———————————————— Accounting Question: An internal auditor wishes to determine whether the finished goods perpetual inventory records are being properlyupdated for completed production.

Trucks bring tomatoes from the fields, dump them into large bins, and return to the fields. Tomatoes flow from the bottom of the bins to a conveyor where they are continuously cleaned and chopped into a slurry. This slurry stream is divided according to a setting controlled by the plant manager into two streams (the proportion chosen according to current market demand), one that feeds the juice processor and one that feeds the paste concentrator. Output from both the juicer and the paste concentrator flow into the canning shed where they are packaged for shipment. In accordance with market demand, the plant manager has ordered that the plant make twice as much paste as juice each day. Due to long setup times in the separator equipment, this product mix must hold every minute of every day. The juicer can produce 100 gallons of juice in 5 minutes and the concentrator can produce 100 gallons of paste in 4 minutes. The cannery can package up to 2500 gallons per hour of product, be it juice or paste. What is the maximum processing rate, in gallons per hour, in the plant?

Determine the ending inventory cost as of May 31, 2014. $ Hide Feedback Partially Correct Check My Work Feedback 1. When the perpetual inventory system is used, revenue is recorded each time a sale is made along with an entry to record the cost of the merchandise sold. LIFO means the last units purchased are assumed to be the first to be sold. Therefore after each sale, the remaining or ending inventory is made up of the first or earliest purchases. Think of your inventory in terms of “layers.” The first sale comes from the most recent purchase layer. When deciding which layer to use for costing of each sale ask yourself: “Is there enough inventory left in the most recent purchase to cover the sale?” If not, the other units sold should be taken from the second most recent purchase layer, which then contains the most recent costs. Continue this process for each transaction. If you have done this problem correctly, the remaining units making up ending inventory will be the March 3 beginning inventory and May 21 unit purchase price. 2. Total sales are obtained by taking the number of units sold times their sale prices for all sales and adding these amounts together. The total cost of merchandise sold can be obtained by adding the LIFO costs in the perpetual inventory record. Sales minus cost of merchandise sold equals gross profit. 3. The ending inventory is what is left after subtracting the cost of goods sold from the goods available for sale. Multiply the units remaining after the last sale by their corresponding earliest layer cost to determine the LIFO cost of the ending inventory.

To start, let the consumer utility function be given by q 1/2 c 1/2 a 1/2 , where c is consumption of “ bread ” (a catch-all commodity), q is real estate (housing), and a is amenities, which are valued by the consumer given that a ’ s exponent is positive. Letting y denote income, it can be shown that the consumer demand functions for bread and housing are given by c = y/ 2 and q = y /(2 p ), where p is the price per unit of real estate. (a) Substitute the above demand functions into the utility function to get what is known as the “ indirect ” utility function, which gives utility as a function of income, prices, and amenities. (b) Using your answer from (a), how does utility change when income y rises? When the real-estate price p rises? How does utility change when amenities increase? With free mobility, everyone must enjoy the same utility level regardless of where they live. Let this constant utility level be denoted by u . (c) Set the utility expression from (a) equal to u . The resulting equation shows how y and p must vary with amenities a in order for everyone to enjoy utility u . To see one implication of the equation, solve it to yield p as a function of the other variables. According to your solution, how must p change when amenities rise, with y held constant? Given an intuitive explanation of your answer. How must p change if y were to rise, with amenities held constant? Again, explain your answer. As was explained in the chapter, another condition is needed to pin down an explicit solution that tells how y and p vary as amenities change. That condition comes from requiring that the production cost of fi rms be constant across locations. To generate this condition, let the production function for bread be given by Dq 1/2 L 1/2 a , where q now represents the fi rm ’ s real-estate input, L is labor input and a again is amenities ( D is a constant). The exponent could be either positive or negative, indicating that an increase in a could either raise or lower output. Recalling that p is the price of real estate and y is the price of labor, it can be shown that the cost per unit of bread output is equal to p 1/2 y 1/2 a – . (d) This function shows that an increase in p or y raises unit cost, but that an increase in a could either raise or lower costs. Give an example for each possibility, identifying an amenity a valued by consumers that could alternatively raise, or lower, production costs for particular goods. (e) The condition ensuring that costs are constant across locations can be written as p 1/2 y 1/2 a – = 1. Suppose that > 0, so that higher amenities reduce costs. What must happen to p as a increases to keep costs constant, with y held fi xed? Give an intuitive explanation for your answer. (f) To generate an explicit solution for y in terms of amenities, take the p solution from (c) and substitute it into the constant-cost condition from (e). The resulting equation just involves y , and use it to solve for y as a function of a . (g) Suppose that is negative. Using your solution from (f), how does y change when a increases? Suppose instead that is positive but that its magnitude is unknown. Can you say how y responds to an increase in a ? How about if is positive and small? How about if is positive and large? How about if is zero? (h) Now take the y solution from (f) and use it to eliminate y from the p solution in (c). Solve the resulting equation for p as a function of a . Suppose that is positive. How does p change when a increases? Suppose instead that is negative but that its magnitude is unknown. Can you say how p responds to an increase in a ? How about if is negative but close to zero? How about if is negative and far from zero? How about if equals zero? (i) Summarize your conclusions about how amenities affect incomes and real-estate prices. Although some conclusions are ambiguous, it is possible to offer a clear-cut statement when the effect of amenities on production is “ small, ” either positive or negative (with close to zero). What conclusion can be stated in this case? (j) Relate your answer from (i) to the diagrammatic analysis from the chapter. Question 2 Joe is graduating from college and is currently faced with a decision of choosing betweentwo competing job offers for the same position from equally reputable companies. The jobs are in two different cities A and B. If he chooses the job in City A then Joe’s monthly salary will be $10,000while the company is City B is offering him a monthly salary of $12,500. Joe looks for the bestavailable rental apartment options in each city (he is not planning to buy a house). For renting similar one-bedroom apartments at a walking distance from his work place, Joe will have to pay a monthlyrent of $6,000 in City A and $5,000 in City B. Though the cities are very similar in almost all crucial characteristics, there is one maindifference. City A is designed to be a bike-friendly city, while City B has no such facilities like bike- paths and bike-racks that are easily available in City A. [Note: For this example let us ignore thepollution-reducing effects of being bike-friendly. Also, Joe walks to work and hence transport forwork is not important to this discussion. We will care only about the pleasure and convenience ofbiking as a leisure activity.] a) Joe indirect utility function is given by V (y, p, a) = y – p + awhere y monthly salary, p is monthly rent, a takes value 100 if the amenity of a “bike-path” isavailable and 0 otherwise. Which city (and, resultantly, which job) will Joe choose for each of the cases listed below. Explain each case. (i) = 0 (ii) = 20 (iii) = 35 (iv) = 40 Now, just consider the case where = 40, to answer the following sub-parts (b) – (d): b) Draw a diagram to show the determination of equilibrium income and rent in the two cities viathe interaction of indifference curves and iso-cost curves. c) Using lessons from the Roback Model, can you comment on the effect of the “bike-path”amenity on consumer utility? Can you intuitively justify why utility is likely to behave in such amanner with respect to the “bike-path” amenity described here? d) Using lessons from the Roback Model, can you comment on the effect of the “bike-path” amenity on firm costs? Can you intuitively justify why a firm’s production costs are likely tobehave in such a manner with respect to the “bike-path” amenity described here? ———————————————— Accounting Question: Harrison Clothiers’ stock currently sells for $32 a share.

Sales are expected to grow at 15% per year for the next three years. Sales growth has been fueled by aggressive pricing as well as increased use of ceramics in high performance engines. Asset growth has been financed by internal funds as well as the increased use of debt. At the end of 2012, the debt was restructured with a new 10% seven-year loan with principal payments of $1 million per year. In addition a $1.5 million working capital line was negotiated in 2011. It was increased to $2.5 million in 2013 and $3.5 million in 2014. Interest is charged at prime + 1%. (For class, we will use 9%.) Cash balances will be kept around $250,000 and the credit line will average $2 million. 1. Prepare pro-forma statements for Ceramic and determine their need for funds for the years 2015-2017. 2.

Sambonoza Enterprises projects its sales next year to be $4 million and expects to earn 5 percent of that amount after taxes. The firm is currently in the process of projecting its financing needs and has made the following assumptions (projections): Current assets will equal 20 percent of sales while fixed assets will remain at their current level of $1 million. Common equity is currently 0.8 million and the firm pays out half its after-tax earnings in dividends. The firm has short term payables and trade credit that normally equal 10 percent of sales and has no long-term debt outstanding. What are Sambonoza’s financing needs for the coming year? 4-2. Tulley Appliances, Inc., projects next year’s sales to be $20 million. Current sales are at $15 million based on current assets of $5 million and fixed assets of $5 million. The firm’s net profit margin is 5 percent after taxes. Tulley forecasts that current assets will rise in direct proportion to the increase in sales, but fixed assets will increase by only $100,000. Currently Tulley has $1.5 million in accounts payable plus $2 million in long-term debt (due in ten years) outstanding and common equity (including $4 million in retained earnings) totaling $6.5 million. Tulley plans to pay $500,000 in common stock dividends next year. What are Tulley’s total financing needs (i.e. total assets) for the coming year? Given the firm’s projections and dividend payment plans, what are its external financing needs? 4-6. The balance sheet of Thompson Trucking Company (TTC) follows: TTC Balance Sheet, December 31, 2013 ($ millions) Current Assets $10 Accounts payable $5 Net fixed assets 15 Notes payable 0 Total 25 Bonds payable 10 Common Equity 10 Total 25 TTC had sales for the year ended 12/31/2013 of $50 million. The form follows a policy of paying all net earnings out to its common stockholders in cash dividends. Thus, TTC generates no funds from its earnings that can be used to expand its operations. (Assume that depreciation is equal to the cost of replacing worn-out assets.) If TTC anticipates sales of $80 million during the coming year, develop a pro forma balance sheet for the firm for 12/31/14. Assume that current assets vary as a percent of sales, net fixed assets remain unchanged, accounts payable vary as a percent of sales, and use notes payable as a “balancing” entry. How much “new” financing will TTC need next year? 4-7. The most recent balance sheet or the Armadillo Dog Biscuit Company is shown in the table below. The company is about to embark on an advertising campaign which is expected to raise sales from the current level of $5 million to $7 million by the end of next year. The firm is currently operating at full capacity and will have to increase its investment in both current and fixed assets to support the level of new sales. In fact, the firm estimates that both categories will rise in direct proportion to the projected increase in sales. The firm’s net profits were 6 percent of current year’s sales but are expected to rise to 7 percent of next year’s sales. To help support its anticipated growth in asset needs next year, the firm has suspended plans to pay cash dividends to its stockholders. In past years a $1.50 per share dividend has been paid annually. Armadillo Dog Biscuit Company ($ millions) Present Percent Projected Level of Sales Level Current Assets $ 2.0 Net Fixed Assets 3.0 Total $ 5.0 Accounts Payable $ 0.5 Accrued Expenses 0.5 Notes Payable — Current Liabilities $ 1.0 Long-term debt $ 2.0 Common Stock 0.5 Retained Earnings 1.5 Total $ 5.0 Armadillo’s payables and accrued expenses are expected to vary directly with sales. In addition, notes payable will be used to supply the funds that are needed to finance next year’s operations and that are not forthcoming from other sources. Fill in the table and project the firm’s needs for external financing. Use notes payable as the balancing entry for financing needed. ———————————————— Economics Question: inferior goods are referred to in Economics as goods A. Whose quality is low B.

In the long run, farmers can decide whether to plant oranges on their land, to plant something else, or to sell their land altogether. Therefore, the long-run supply of oranges is much more price sensitive than the short-run supply of oranges. Assuming that the long-run demand for oranges is the same as the short-run demand, you would expect a binding price ceiling to result in athat isin the long run than in the short run. ———————————————— Accounting Question: Fixed rate calculation is based on capacity used capacity available capacity utilization downward demand ———————————————— Finance Question: If a cost of equity of 14.8% and a pre-tax cost of debt of 7.5%.

The business generates annual revenues of 27 billion euros and employs 139,000 people in 298 stores and 26 countries. The values and design philosophy of the founder continue to underpin the brand. These values might be summed up as frugal, democratic, environmentally aware, and design oriented. IKEA has become synonymous with Swedish lifestyle. The stores are virtually identical across the globe and sell a range of globally sourced flat-packed furniture products as well as a range of related furnishings for the home—the stores offer customers a Swedish experience by incorporating restaurants and a variety of customer services intended to simplify the shopping process (e.g., childcare). What is interesting about IKEA is that customers have become a significant part of the value creating process—customers play a key role in terms of logistics and in production. By performing the assembly of the flat-packed furniture, customers complete the final stages in the production process. In terms of logistics, the customer “moves” goods from warehouse-style storage through the checkout, and then transports the goods home. The trade-off for the consumer is lower prices and immediate gratification—furniture is typically sold using just in time (JIT) inventory management, which means that once a customer has placed an order, the furniture then goes into production and is delivered to the customer’s home some 3–4 months later. IKEA’s senior management has in the past pursued an aggressive expansion policy, but management is currently changing direction, adopting a slower rate of expansion and investing in existing stores. The company plans to increase sales by 10% a year to 2020, thereby doubling annual sales revenues. Management is concerned about how expansion in the BRIC countries, particularly India and China, is pursued. There are fears about preserving the company’s culture in these huge markets (Milne, 2013). Sources: http://www.ikea.com/ms/en_US/this-is-ikea/company-information/index.html Milne, R. (2013, September 1). Ikea signals slower expansion. Financial Times. What do you think? What would you do? What problems do you foresee and how will this impact IKEA’s Swedish concept? Please recommend a marketing solution that will help IKEA achieve growth in either India or China based on your understanding of the place P and how delivering the value is evolving. Please use the case study guidelines below to perform a brief analysis, identify the problem, suggest alternative solutions, and make recommendations for the implementation of the solution that you believe is the best fit. Case Study Guidelines 1. Analysis of the Current Situation—The proper context must be established for the case analysis. Please provide a SWOT analysis in a SWOT box. · Research: Identify the key environmental factors such as industry trends, level of competitiveness, customer perceptions, legal considerations, and evolving technology at the outset of the analysis. · Summarize the key aspects of the internal environment of the firm in terms of strengths and weaknesses and the external environment in terms of opportunities and threats to the firm in your SWOT box. 2. The Target Market—Identify your target market: Who is your target customer? In terms of demographics and lifestyle, what aspects of consumer behavior provide insights into this group of customers? 3. The Problem—Identification of key problem(s). It is easy to identify symptoms of problems while failing to identify the real problems. For example, declining sales may be identified as a problem, when the decline is only symptomatic of more complex problems that are harder to observe. Make a clear distinction between what is identified as the problem and the symptoms of the problems. 4. Alternative Solutions—Identify and evaluate alternatives. Develop reasonable alternatives and evaluate them in terms of feasibility, projected costs advantages, disadvantages, and potential short-term and long-term consequences. 5. Recommended Course of Action—Select a course of action and provide the appropriate strategies and tactics to accomplish the chosen course. Justify your choice in terms of your analysis. As most practitioners know, charting a course of action can be a difficult job, but implementation is the true challenge. Produce a workable action plan that would have a reasonable probability of success in the implementation phase. This assignment will be a presentation using PowerPoint. Develop a set of at least five (5) PowerPoint slides to present the findings of your analysis. Some additional research is expected. The IKEA website is highly informative. Use APA format and include an additional slide with your sources. Assume that your analysis will be presented to the IKEA senior management team and that your job depends on it! ———————————————— Management Question: A company’s compensation strategy is most effective when it remains in line with the organization’s overall business strategy. While human resources departments must strive to attract and retain the best workers for each position, the incentives needed to engage those workers must be balanced with the costs to the company. Using the Argosy University online library resources and the Internet, research best practices regarding compensation strategies. For this assignment, you are to research compensation strategies and consider general compensation programs for the following two scenarios: Scenario 1: A midsized company with a proven product. Executives are looking to keep labor costs at a minimum. Scenario 2: A small company that is still trying to prove itself in the industry while striving for product leadership and innovation. For each scenario, describe the base pay and major incentives that are included in your benefits package and respond to the following: Does your program include stock options, profit sharing, an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP), healthcare, etc.? Are your specified options provided for employees of all levels or just for certain positions? What are the costs to the company for each added incentive? How do these incentives shape/determine the type of employee you attract? How is employee performance rewarded? Include a strategy for raises and bonuses. How do your strategies differ by job level and function? Why do your packages differ between the two scenarios? What changes do you recommend if each firm moves from a large city to a minimally populated rural area? For base pay, be sure to provide percentile ranges in lieu of hard numbers. For example a firm may target being competitive with the market at the fortieth percentile, the seventy-fifth percentile, or some chosen range (e.g., between the twenty-fifth and fiftieth percentile). ———————————————— Business Question: Discuss the following proposition: “All undergraduate course should be graded on a curve.” Identify all of the interests involved on either side of the proposition.

In order to obtain an accurate understanding, a meeting with the Chief Financial Officer was requested. With the meeting set for Monday morning (plan on 45 minutes), there are a number of items that will need to be considered as you reflect on the experiences learned at your previous employer. Prior to giving notice and submitting your letter of resignation with your previous employer, the outside auditors as part of their standard procedures were in the process of issuing a letter to management regarding their findings and concerns on the monthly closing process and production of the monthly interim financial statements. According to the draft of the letter, the auditor’s concerns focused on the accuracy of the monthly financial statements, lack of internal control and ethical conduct in the office. Because of the restriction placed on the scope of the audit, incomplete documentation, missed closing entries not revealed to the auditors, and the general climate of disorder among the accounting staff that a qualified opinion along with a going concern comment was recorded in the draft letter. This letter in final form untimely led to the dismissal of the Chief Financial Officer and the resignation of the Treasurer of the Board of Directors. Question: Develop an interview agenda for the meeting with the Chief Financial Officer. Be certain to consider not only your prior experience as you make a list of your questions (10) relating to the accounting cycle at the organization but also a careful ear and eye for hints of the type of problems present with your new employer as they affect the accounting cycle process. Also, develop for each question the Chief Financial Officer’s response and appropriate reference citations in APA format. In addition to the standard approach to agenda development (list of topics, estimate of time for each item to be discussed, and any written material that you would like to have the Chief Financial Officer review prior to the meeting) be aware of the meeting time and the politics of the office. ———————————————— Accounting Question: a) Type of approach restating amounts in general ledgers by using actual cost rates is classified as unadjusted cost approach adjusted allocation rate approach unadjusted allocation approach adjusted cost approach b) Direct material cost of goods sold is $7500 throughput contribution is $15650 then revenues are equal to $8,150 $23,150 $33,150 $13,150 ———————————————— Accounting Question: Capacity utilization of business to satisfy average customer demand for current budget period of time is classified as master budget capacity utilization finite cost utilization infinte cost utilization infinite budget capacity utilization ———————————————— Business Question: We have been examining disputes on an interpersonal level.

However, Delaware’s negligence prevented Louisiana from moving in on time—since it failed to clean up the place adequately enough to earn a Certificate of Occupancy from the township.
