Trace the history of the business
Explanation:
Business history is a historiographical field which examines the history of firms, business methods, government regulation and the effects of business on society. It also includes biographies of individual firms, executives, and entrepreneurs. It is related to economic history.[1] It is distinct from "company history" which refers to official histories, usually funded by the company itself.
At the end of December 2013, Rosenfeld Co. had $10,000 of Deferred Tax Assets related to its Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. In response to low public approval ratings (and after a particularly boisterous holiday party), the US Congress passed a law to reduce the Federal Statutory Tax Rate from 35% to 20% on December 31, 2013. As a US company, Rosenfeld had to immediately adjust the balance of its DTAs based on the new law. Which of the following items would be decreased by the entry to adjust the balance in Deferred Tax Assets?
a. Income Tax Payable.b. Income Tax Expense.c. Net Income.d. Deferred Tax Assets.e. Cash from Operating Activities.
Answer:
Rosenfeld Co.
The item decreased by the entry to adjust the balance in Deferred Tax Assets is:
d. Deferred Tax Assets.
Explanation:
Deferred Tax Assets on December 31 = $10,000
Federal Statutory Tax Rate = 35%
New Federal Statutory Tax Rate = 20%
The balance in the Deferred Tax Assets will be reduced to $5,714 ($10,000/35% * 20%)
This means that the Deferred tax assets will be decreased by $4,286 while the net income will be increased by $4,286.
Which of the following statements are TRUE? A firm's entry/exit decision is about: I. whether profits are positive or negative now. II. whether the stream of future profits is positive or negative. III. government regulations.
Answer: Whether profits are positive or negative now
II. Whether the stream of future profits is positive or negative
Explanation:
It should be noted that In a perfectly competitive industry in the long run, there'll be new firms that will enter the market when the already existing firms are making profit.
In the case of a loss, there'll be an exit. Therefore, the true is that a firm's entry or exit decision is about whether profits are positive or negative now and also whether the stream of future profits is positive or negative.
Therefore, the correct option is and II
Last year "ABC" Company had $121646 of assets, $76058 of sales, $19170 of net income, and an equity multiplier of 1.81369. The new CFO believes the firm has excessive fixed assets and inventory that could be sold, enabling it to reduce its total assets to $99391, Sales, costs and net income would not be affected, and the firm would maintain the equity multiplier at the same level (1.81369). By how much would the reduction in assets will change the ROE value?
Answer:
ABC Company
The reduction in assets will change the ROE value by 6% increase, from 29% to 35%.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Equity multiplier = total assets divided by stockholders equity
Last year's figures:
Assets = $121,646
Sales = $76,058
Net income = $19,170
Equity multiplier = 1.81369
Equity = Assets/Equity multiplier
= $67,071 ($121,646/1.81369)
Return on equity = $19,170/$67,071 * 100
= 28.6%
= 29%
New figures:
Assets reduced to $99,391
Sales = $76,058
Net income = $19,170
Equity multiplier = 1.81369
Equity = $54,800 ($99,391/1.81369)
Return on equity = $19,170/$54,800 * 100
= 35%
b) The reduction in assets changes the ROE value from 29% to 35%.
Informal peacemaking and mediation are characterized on the continuum as having __________ personal control by disputants, whereas arbitration and litigation have ________ personal control by the disputants.
Answer:
high; low.
Explanation:
A conflict can be defined as any form of disagreement that arises between two or more parties due to opposing views, opinions, or incompatibility.
CALM is a 4-step process for addressing and defusing conflict.
These four step process for conflict resolution or defusing conflicts includes;
I. Clarify (C): this involves finding out more information about what caused the conflict.
II. Ask (A): you should ask the opposing party about the issues while being polite.
III. Listen (L): listen attentively to get more information.
IV. Move forward (M): do not dwell on the past issue after they have been resolved.
Mediation can be defined as an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) approach which involves an impartial and neutral third party who is saddled with the responsibility of proposing a solution to conflict between two or more parties.
Basically, a mediator is a professional trained in conflict or dispute resolution through the use of effective negotiation techniques and communication strategies. Thus, a neutral third party such as a mediator or negotiator from outside an organization or group, who will hear a conflict case via a nonbinding process should be availed the opportunity to make peace between two or more disagreeing parties.
Generally, the disputants (disagreeing parties) generally have a low personal control over an arbitration and litigation while during an informal peacemaking and mediation process, there is a high level of personal control by disputants on the continuum.

Vaughn’s standard quantities for 1 unit of product include 5 pounds of materials and 1.0 labor hours. The standard rates are $4 per pound and $5 per hour. The standard overhead rate is $6 per direct labor hour. The total standard cost of Vaughn’s product is $31.00. $25.00. $15.00. $11.00.
Answer:
$31.00
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what The total standard cost of Vaughn's product is
Using this formula
Total standard cost of product=(Material Standard rate per pound × pounds of material) + (Labor standard rate per hour × labor hours) + (Standard overhead rate x labor hours)
Let plug in the formula
Total standard cost of product=[($4 × 5) + ($5 × 1.0)]+ ($6 × 1.0)
Total standard cost of product=($20+$5)+$6
Total standard cost of product= $25.00 +$6
Total standard cost of product= $31.00
Therefore The total standard cost of Vaughn's product is $31.00
Account verification accounts 5,000 accounts 3,000 accounts Correspondence letters 1,000 letters 1,400 letters How much of the account billing cost will be assigned to Department B
Answer:
$24,750
Explanation:
The computation of the account billing cost assigned to department B is shown below;
Computation of the activity rate of account billing cost pool
Activity rate = Account billing cost ÷ Expected account billing lines
= $220,000 ÷ 4,000,000
= $0.055 per line
Now Calculation for account billing cost assigned to department B is
Cost assigned = Activity rate × Activity of Department B
= $0.055 × 450,000
= $24,750
An individual wishes to deposit an amount of money now and $100 every year so that at the end of 10 years $1,500 will have been accumulated. With interest at 2% per year, how much should be deposited now
Answer:
$332.26
Explanation:
The amount to be invested today is known as the Principle Value. We discount the future cash flows using the effective interest rate to arrive at the Principle Value.
Using a financial calculator, we can determine the Principle Value (PV) simply as follows :
PV = ??
PMT = - $100
P/YR = 1
I = 2 %
FV = $1,500
N = 10
This gives a PV of ($332.26)
therefore,
$332.26 should be deposited now to meet the goals.

assume that a compan operates a fleet of limousines if a limo is driven 80,000 miles during a year its average is 25 cents per mile. driven only 60,000 miles operating cost is 30 cents per mile high low method, what is the estimated fixed cost per year
Answer:
The answer is "$12000".
Explanation:
Calculating the total cost:
when 80,000 miles[tex]=(80,000\times 0.25)=\$20,000[/tex]
when 60,000 miles[tex]=(60,000\times 0.3)=\$18000[/tex]
[tex]\text{Calculating the per mile variable cost} =\frac{[\text{Total cost of highest level-Total cost of lowest level}]}{(Highest \ level-Lowest \ level)}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{(20,000-18000)}{(80,000-60,000)}\\\\=\frac{(2,000)}{(20,000)}\\\\=\frac{(1,000)}{(10,000)}\\\\=\frac{(1)}{(10)}\\\\=$0.1 / mile[/tex]
So, the total fixed cost:
[tex]=20,000-(80,000\times 0.1)\\\\=20,000-8,000\\\\=\$12,000[/tex]
A potential complication for successful price discrimination is a. multiple demand elasticities among consumers. b. the presence of a price maker in a market full of price takers. c. a product or service for which consumers value differently. d. other industry firms also practicing price discrimination. e. the potential for consumers to resell a product or service.
Answer: e. the potential for consumers to resell a product or service
Explanation:
Price discrimination refers to a practice by a producer/seller where they sell the same goods at different prices to different markets in order to make more profit.
Problems can arise if customers begin to resell these goods because some customers could buy it from markets where the producer charges less and sell it in markets where the producer charges more which would allow them to make profit at the producer's expense because they would be competing with the producer with the producer's own goods.

Answer:
Materials price variance $5,100 F
Materials quantity variance $4,075 U
Total labor variance $2,500 U
Labor price variance $620 F
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Actual Standard
Labor rate per hour $16 $15.50
Material price per ton $160 $163
Labor hours 5,000 5,040
Materials 1,700 1,675
a) Total price variance for materials = Standard price per ton - Actual price per ton * Actual materials
= $163 - $160 * 1,700
= $5,100 F
b) Total quantity variance for materials = Standard quantity - Actual quantity * Standard price
= 1,675 - 1,700 * $163
= 25 * $163
= $4,075 U
c) Total price variance for labor = Standard rate per hour - Actual rate per hour * Actual labor hours
= $15.50 - $16 * 5,000
= -$0.50 * 5,000
= $2,500 U
d) Total quantity variance for labor = Standard labor hours - Actual labor hours * Standard rate
= 5,040 - 5,000 * $15.50

What is the importance of computer applications in the business domain? How Computer applications support businesses to work ubiquitously? Give valid reasoning with examples.
Answer:
Explanation:
The importance of computer applications in the business domain is that it allows for the automatization of daily tasks. This is also the reason why businesses that implement such applications are able to work ubiquitously. The software applications are designed to automate all of the tasks that the business needs and perform them quickly and efficiently, if a certain task is not able to be automated then the software still makes completing the task by only requiring user input for the absolutely necessary parts of the task. One example of this would be a logistics application for businesses where inventory is automatically calculated as sales go through and automatically replenished by sending inventory requests to suppliers.
Assume the following sales data for a company: 2018 $980,000 2017 875,000 2016 700,000 If you are conducting a horizontal analysis and using 2016 as the base year, what is the percentage increase in sales from 2016 to 2017
Answer:
25%
Explanation:
The percentage increase in sales from 2016 to 2017:
= Increase in sales / Base year * 100
= (875,000-700,000) / 700,000 * 100
= $175,000/700,000 *100
= 0.25 * 100
= 25%

Wiemers’s 2017 income statement included net sales of $109,000, cost of goods sold of $59,500, and net income of $14,300. Compute the following ratios for 2017. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.65, or 1.65% .) Current ratio :1 Acid-test ratio :1 Accounts receivable turnover times Inventory turnover times Profit margin % Asset turnover times Return on assets % Return on common stockholders’ equity % Debt to assets ratio %
Answer:
(a) Current ratio = 2.88 : 1
(b) Acid test ratio = 2.03 : 1
(c) Accounts receivable turnover = 4.94 times
(d) Inventory turnover = 6.65 times
(e) Profit margin = 13.12%
(f) Asset turnover = 0.95 times
(g) Return on assets = 12.43%
(h) Return on common stockholders' equity = 14.62%
(i) Debt to assets ratio = 11.17%
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. See the attached pdf file for the complete question.
The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
a. Current ratio
Current assets = Cash + Accounts receivable (net) + Inventory = $4,100 + $20,900 + $10,400 =
Current liabilities = Accounts payable = $12,300
Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities = $35,400 / $12,300 = 2.88 : 1
b. Acid test ratio
Acid test ratio = (Current assets – Inventory) / Current liabilities = ($35,400 - $10,400) / $12,300 = 2.03 : 1
(c) Accounts receivable turnover.
Net sales = $109,000
Average accounts receivable = (20,900 + 23,200) / 2 = $22,050
Accounts receivable turnover = Net sales / Average accounts receivable = $109,000 / $22,050 = 4.94 times
(d) Inventory turnover.
Cost of goods sold = $59,500
Average inventory = (10,400 + 7,500) / 2 = $8,950
Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory = $59,500 / $8,950 = 6.65 times
(e) Profit margin.
Net income = $14,300
Net sales = $109,000
Profit margin = Net income / Net sales = $14,300 / $109,000 = 0.1312, or 13.12%
(f) Asset turnover.
Net sales = $109,000
Average total assets = ($110,100 + $119,900) / 2 = $115,000
Asset turnover = Net sales / Average total assets = $109,000 / $115,000 = 0.95 times
(g) Return on assets.
Net income = $14,300
Average total assets = ($110,100 + $119,900) / 2 = $115,000
Return on assets = Net income / Average total assets = $14,300 / $115,000 = 0.1243, or 12.43%
(h) Return on common stockholders' equity
Net income = $14,300
Common stockholders' equity = Common stock + Retained earnings = $74,500 + $23,300 = $97,800
Return on common stockholders' equity = Net income / Common stockholders' equity = $14,300 / $97,800 = 0.1462 = 14.62%
(i) Debt to assets ratio
Total liabilities = Accounts payable = $12,300
Total assets = $110,100
Debt to assets ratio = Total liabilities / Total assets = $12,300 / $110,100 = 0.1117, or 11.17%
A fast-food restaurant buys hamburger buns from a national bakery supplier. The daily usage of buns at the restaurant is normally distributed with an average of 160 and standard deviation of 10. It takes 4 days for the supplier to deliver. The purchasing agent at the restaurant has established a 99.7% service level.
a) The Safety Stock and Reorder Point for the restaurant (in whole numbers). A fast-food restaurant buys hamburger buns from a local bakery. To estimate its costs, the restaurant assumes now those buns are used at the constant rate of 100 per day and are purchased at $0.025 per bun. It costs $1 for each order placed and the annual inventory holding cost per unit is 25% of the unit purchase cost.
b) How much should be ordered each time to minimize the restaurant’s total annual costs?c) And what is the length of order cycles (i.e. time between orders) in days? Assume the restaurant operates 360 days per year.
Answer:
Thus, from the calculations below;
The safety stock = 55
The reorder point = 695
quantity required to be ordered in order to reduce and minimize total annual cost for the restaurant = 3394 buns
The order cycles length = 34 days
Explanation:
From the given information:
The average demand (d) = 160
The standard deviatiion [tex]\sigma_d[/tex] = 10
Lead time = 4 days
Service level = 99.7% = 0.997
From the Standard Normal Curve; the z value at 99.7% = 2.75
The annual demand (D) = 36000
Ordering cost = $1
Unit purchased Cost = $0.025
The holding cost for the annual inventory = 25% of 0.025 = 0.00625
The reorder point can be determined by using the formula:
[tex]= \bar d \times Lead \ time +z\times \sigma_d \times \sqrt{LT}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{ = 160\ \times4+2.75 \times10 \times\sqrt{4}}[/tex]
= 695
The safety stock SS = [tex]z \times \sigma_d \times \sqrt{LT}[/tex]
[tex]= 2.75 \times 10 \times \sqrt{4}[/tex]
= 55
The economic order quality = [tex]\sqrt{2 \times D \times \dfrac{ordering \ cost }{annua l\ holding \ cost}}[/tex]
[tex]= \sqrt{2 \times 36000 \times \dfrac{1 }{0.00625}}[/tex]
=3394.11
The order cycle length = [tex]\dfrac{EOQ}{D}\times 360[/tex]
[tex]= \dfrac{3394.11}{36000}\times 360[/tex]
= 33.94

The following December 31, 2021, fiscal year-end account balance information is available for the Stonebridge Corporation:
Cash and cash equivalents $5,600
Accounts receivable (net) 26,000
Inventory 66,000
Property, plant, and equipment (net) 150,000
Accounts payable 45,000
Salaries payable 17,000
Paid-in capital 130,000
The only asset not listed is short-term investments. The only liabilities not listed are $36,000 notes payable due in two years and related accrued interest of $1,000 due in four months. The current ratio at year-end is 1.6:1.
Required:
Determine the following at December 31, 2021:
Total current assets
Short-term investments
Retained earnings
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1)
Total current assets of $100,800
2)
Short term investments = Total current assets - Cash and cash equivalents - Accounts receivable - Inventory
= $100,800 - $5,600 - $26,000 - $66,000
= $3,200
3)
Retained earnings = Property plant and equipment + Total current assets - Total liabilities - Paid in capital
where,
Total liabilities = Accounts payable + Salaries payable + Accrued interest + Notes payable
= $45,000 + $17,000 + $1,000 + $36,000
= $99,000
SO,
Retained earnings = $150,000 + $100,800 - $99,000 - $130,000
= $21,800
Kramer Inc. has a materials price standard of $2.00 per pound. Six thousand pounds of materials were purchased at $2.20 a pound. The actual quantity of materials used was 6,000 pounds, although the standard quantity allowed for the output was 5,400 pounds. Kramer Inc.'s total materials variance is Group of answer choices
Answer:
$1,200U
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what the total materials variance is
Using this formula
Total materials variance = [(AQ × AP) - (AQ × SP)]
Where;
AQ represent Actual quantity = 6,000 pounds
AP represent Actual price = $2.20
SP represent Standard price = $2
Let plug in the formula
Total materials variance = [(6,000 × $2.20) - (6,000 × $2)]
Total materials variance = [($13,200) - ($12,000)]
Total materials variance = $1,200U
Therefore the total materials variance is $1,200U

Explanation:
Interest earning of 3% with a $450 minimum balance average monthly balance of $900 monthly service charge of $11 for falling below the minimum balance which occurs five times a year no interest earned in the month. What is the net annual cost
Answer:
$39.25
Explanation:
Given that Interest earning = 3 percent
minimum balance = $450
average monthly balance = $900
monthly service charge = $11
Occurrence period = 5 times
Hence, Net annual cost = Service charges - Interest earnings
=> Service Charge = (5 × $11) - Interest earnings (7 / 12)(0.03 × $900)
= $55 - $15.75
= $39.25
Therefore, the final answer to this question is $39.25

The equilibrium price is: unstable because at this price the quantity demanded is less than the quantity supplied. stable because at this price the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied. stable because at this price all buyers are willing and able to pay. unstable because at this price the quantity demanded exceeds the quantity supplied.
Answer:
stable because at this price the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied.
Explanation:
Price can be defined as the amount of money that is required to be paid by a buyer (customer) to a seller (producer) in order to acquire goods and services. Thus, it refers to the amount of money a customer or consumer buying goods and services are willing to pay for the goods and services being offered. The price of goods and services are primarily being set by the seller or service provider.
In Economics, there are primarily two (2) factors which affect the availability and the price at which goods and services are sold or provided, these are demand and supply.
The law of demand states that, the higher the demand for goods and services, the higher the price it would be sold all things being equal. On the other hand, law of supply states that the higher the price of goods and services, the lower the supply.
Generally, the equilibrium price is generally said to be stable because at this price, the quantity of goods or services demanded is equal to the quantity of goods or services supplied to the consumers.

if a car was driven at 60kmh^-1 continually for two hours yet the average velocity for the journey was zero,explain how this could be so
Answer:
The average velocity of the car was zero because the displacement was zero.
Explanation:
Average velocity is the rate of change of displacement with time. Mathematically, it is calculated as follows;
[tex]v = \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t} = \frac{x_2 - x_1}{t_2 - t_1}[/tex]
where;
x₁ is the initial position or starting point of the car
x₂ is the final position or finishing point of the car
t₁ is the initial time = 0
t₂ is the final time = 2 hours
The average velocity can be zero if the initial position of the car is equal to its final position. In this condition, the displacement of the car is zero.
Therefore, the average velocity was zero because the displacement was zero.
