Answer:
1. Amount required to fund the plan = % of injured*Total employees* Annual salary
Amount required to fund the plan = 4%*200 people* $600
Amount required to fund the plan = $4800
2. Amount contributed by each employee = Amount required to fund the plan / Number of employees
Amount contributed by each employee = $4800/200
Amount contributed by each employee = $24
3. Percentage of salary = Amount contributed by each employee / Salary
Percentage of salary = 24/600
Percentage of salary = 0.04

CVP, Not for profit Monroe Classical Music Society is a not-for-profit organization that brings guest artists to the community’s greater metropolitan area. The Music Society just bought a small concert hall in the center of town to house its performances. The mortgage payments on the concert hall are expected to be $2,000 per month. The organization pays its guest performers $1,000 per concert and anticipates corresponding ticket sales to be $2,500 per event. The Music Society also incurs costs of approximately $500 per concert for marketing and advertising. The organization pays its artistic director $50,000 per year and expects to receive $40,000 in donations in addition to its ticket sales.Required1. If the Monroe Classical Music Society just breaks even, how many concerts does it hold?2. In addition to the organization’s artistic director, the Music Society would like to hire a marketing director for $40,000 per year. What is the breakeven point? The Music Society anticipates that the addition of a marketing director would allow the organization to increase the number of concerts to 60 per year. What is the Music Society’s operating income/(loss) if it hires the new marketing director?3. The Music Society expects to receive a grant that would provide the organization with an additional $20,000 toward the payment of the marketing director’s salary. What is the breakeven point if the Music Society hires the marketing director and receives the grant?
Answer:
1. If the Monroe Classical Music Society just breaks even, how many concerts does it hold?
break even = $34,000 / $1,000 = 34 concerts per year
2. In addition to the organization’s artistic director, the Music Society would like to hire a marketing director for $40,000 per year. What is the break even point?
break even = $74,000 / $1,000 = 74 concerts per year
The Music Society anticipates that the addition of a marketing director would allow the organization to increase the number of concerts to 60 per year. What is the Music Society’s operating income/(loss) if it hires the new marketing director?
loss = (60 x $1,000) - $74,000 = $60,000 - $74,000 = -$14,000
3. The Music Society expects to receive a grant that would provide the organization with an additional $20,000 toward the payment of the marketing director’s salary. What is the break even point if the Music Society hires the marketing director and receives the grant?
break even = $54,000 / $1,000 = 54 concerts per year
Explanation:
fixed costs = $24,000 (mortgage) + $50,000 (artistic director) = $74,000
variable costs per concert = $1,000 (artist) - $500 (marketing) = $1,500
revenue = $2,500 per concert
contribution margin per concert = $2,500 - $1,500 = $1,000
other revenues = $40,000 per year
net fixed costs = $74,000 - $40,000 = $34,000

Jupiter Explorers has $8,800 in sales. The profit margin is 4 percent. There are 5,300 shares of stock outstanding. The market price per share is $1.60. What is the price-earnings ratio
Answer:
Price earnings ratio = 24.09 (Approx)
Explanation:
Given:
Sale = $8,800
Profit margin = 4% = 0.04
Number of share = 5,300
Market price per share = $1.60
Find:
Price-earnings ratio
Computation:
Earnings Per share = Profit / Number of shares
Earnings Per share = [8,800 x 0.04] / 5300
Earnings Per share = $0.0664
Price earnings ratio = Market price per share / Earnings Per share
Price earnings ratio = 1.60/0.0664
Price earnings ratio = 24.09 (Approx)
Shenandoah Skies is the name of an oil painting by artist Kara Lee. In each of the following cases, determine the amount and character of the taxpayer’s gain or loss on sale of the painting.
A. The taxpayer is Kara Lee, who sold her painting to the Reller Gallery for $6,000.
B. The taxpayer is the Reller Gallery, who sold the painting purchased from Kara to a regular customer for $10,000.
C. The taxpayer is Lollard Inc., the regular customer that purchased the painting from the Reller Gallery. Lollard displayed the painting in the lobby of its corporate headquarters until it sold Shenandoah Skies to a collector from Dallas. The collector paid $45,000 for the painting.
Answer:
a. Kara Lee is the painter so the painting is simply part of her normal business operations in selling it.
Amount is $6,000 and this is a sale.
b. Taxpayer is Reller Gallery who sold the painting as part of their normal business operations.
Profit on Sale = Amount sold - Amount purchased
= 10,000 - 6,000
= $4,000
Amount is $4,000 and the nature is ordinary business income.
c. Lollard Inc sold this painting even though it is not part of their normal operations.
This is therefore a gain.
Gain = 45,000 - 10,000
= $35,000
Amount is $35,000 and is a Capital Gain.
At a local business school, there is a toasted submarine sandwich process that uses a conveyor-fed oven. ( See picture below) Alice is the sole operator of the sub making process. In the first step of the process, she spends 2 minutes putting various ingredients in the sub. Then, she puts the sub on a conveyor belt and, over a period of 12 minutes, the conveyor moves the sub from the beginning of the oven to the end of the oven, fully toasting it. After the sub comes out of the oven, Alice spends 1 minute slicing the sandwich and putting it in a box. At most, 5 subs can fit in the oven at once. The toasting time in the oven does not depend on the number of subs in the oven.
Required:
a. Draw a process-flow chart for the sandwich-making process.
b. Calculate the hourly capacity of this sandwich-making process.
c. Suppose another employee is hired to do the slicing and boxing, and Zeynep now only loads the sandwiches with the right ingredients. What is the hourly capacity of this process with the additional employee?
Answer:
b. 20 sandwiches
c. 25 sandwiches
Explanation:
1. I added this diagram of the flow chart as an attachment
2.
Hourly capacity of sandwich making process:
Time it makes to 1 sandwich: 2 + 12 + 1 = 15
The time alice spends when making one sandwich = 2 + 1 = 3
oven uses 12 minutes to process one sandwich, so in 12 minutes, alice can can make 12/3 sandwiches = 4
The Oven can take 5 subs at a time,
So in one hour, the making process
= 60/3 = 20 sandwiches
3.
To calculate Hourly capacity with additional employee:
Alice takes 2 minutes
Additional employees takes 1 minute
Oven uses 12 minutes to make one sandwich
It's only after every 2 minutes Alice can put one sandwich. The oven can take only 5 sandwiches.
So in an hour:
Since oven can take 5
Sandwiches at a time, therefore one sandwich takes,
12 / 5 = 2.4 minutes.
In 1 hour number we have number of processed sandwich as
60 / 2.4 = 25
At hourly capacity with additional employees we have 25 sandwiches

On December 31, 2020, Flounder Company signed a $1,278,400 note to Culver Bank. The market interest rate at that time was 10%. The stated interest rate on the note was 8%, payable annually. The note matures in 5 years. Unfortunately, because of lower sales, Flounder’s financial situation worsened. On December 31, 2022, Culver Bank determined that it was probable that the company would pay back only $767,040 of the principal at maturity. However, it was considered likely that interest would continue to be paid, based on the $1,278,400 loan.
Required:
a. Determine the amount of cash Flounder received from the loan on December 31, 2020.
b. Prepare a note amortization schedule for Culver Bank up to December 31, 2022.
c. Determine the loss on impairment that Culver Bank should recognize on December 31, 2022.

At January 1, 2021, Cafe Med leased restaurant equipment from Crescent Corporation under a nine-year lease agreement. The lease agreement specifies annual payments of $29,000 beginning January 1, 2021, the beginning of the lease, and at each December 31 thereafter through 2028. The equipment was acquired recently by Crescent at a cost of $207,000 (its fair value) and was expected to have a useful life of 13 years with no salvage value at the end of its life. (Because the lease term is only 9 years, the asset does have an expected residual value at the end of the lease term of $94,113.) Crescent seeks a 12% return on its lease investments. By this arrangement, the lease is deemed to be an operating lease.
Required:
a. What will be the effect of the lease on Cafe Med's earnings for the first year (ignore taxes)?
b. What will be the balances in the balance sheet accounts related to the lease at the end of the first year for Café Med (ignore taxes)?
Answer:
Café Med
a. Café Med's earnings for the first year will be reduced by $58,000 (Operating lease expense for January 1 and December 31, 2021).
b. In Café Med's Balance Sheet, at the end of the first year, there will be a liability balance or Lease Expense Payable of $29,000 for the balance due to be paid on December 31, 2021.
Explanation:
Lease annual payments = $29,000
First payment date = January 1, 2021
Subsequent payment dates = December 31, 2021 to 2028.
Period of lease agreement = 9 years < 75% (9/13)
Cost of equipment to Crescent = $207,000
Lifespan of equipment = 13 years
Residual value at end of the lease term = $94,113
b) Café Med will recognize this lease arrangement as an operating lease. This is based on periodic rental payment on a straight-line basis, which is recorded as an operating lease expense. The liability arising will be for unpaid rentals at the end of the accounting period.
King Costume uses a periodic inventory system. The company started the month with 6 masks in its beginning inventory that cost $8 each.

If the tariff on imports in Brazil is initially 12%, Brazilians pay $_____per semiconductor. One of the accomplishments of the Uruguay Round that took place between 1986 and 1993 was significant across-the-board tariff cuts for industrial countries, as well as many developing countries. Suppose that as a result of the Uruguay Round, Brazil reduces its import tariffs to 6%.
Assuming the price of semiconductors is still $23.00 per semiconductor, consumers now pay the price of $_____per semiconductor. Based on the calculations and the scenarios presented, the Uruguay Round most likely_____in Brazil and______in the United States.
Answer:
Suppose that Brazil imports semiconductors from the United States. The free market price is $23.00 per semiconductor. If the tariff on imports in Brazil is initially 12%, Brazilians pay $25.76 per semiconductor.
= 23 * ( 1 + 12%) = $25.76
One of the accomplishments of the Uruguay Round that took place between 1986 and 1993 was significant across-the-board tariff cuts for industrial countries, as well as many developing countries.
Suppose that as a result of the Uruguay Round, Brazil reduces its import tariffs to 6%.
Assuming the price of semiconductors is still $23.00 per semiconductor, consumers now pay the price of $24.38 per semiconductor.
= 23 * ( 1 + 6%) = $24.38
Based on the calculations and the scenarios presented, the Uruguay Round most likely hurts Producers in Brazil and benefits producers in the United States.
The Uruguay Round reduced the tariff and made the semiconductor cheaper for Brazilians which means they will now import more. This will benefit producers in the US who will now be able to sell more but will hurt producers in Brazil who will sell less if their prices are higher than $24.38.

The company evaluates all projects by applying the IRR Rule. If the appropriate interest rate is 9%, should the company accept this project?
Answer: The project should be accepted.
Explanation:
The Internal Rate of Revenue is used to evaluate projects before they are accepted. It is a rate that equates the Net Present Value of cashflows to zero.
If the IRR is higher than the Required return then the Project will be accepted because it means that NPV will be higher than zero. The reverse is true.
Given the cashflows in the question, the IRR is;
= 18.8% according to Excel.
With the IRR higher than the required return of 8%, the project should be accepted.
Composing powerful paragraphs is essential when striving for clear communication. Familiarize yourself with basic paragraph elements, various paragraph patterns, and strategies for building coherence.
Use the following paragraphs to answer the questions that follow.
Paragraph A: Last week, three of our Xcite executives closed a lucrative merger deal with Editionplus. The merger will add more than 500 accounts to our business and will increase our profits by 39 percent in less than a year. Additionally, the executives met with several Editionplus product designers and agreed on three new computer prototypes that we will produce during the next five years. This means we will expand our business to both Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
Paragraph B: Employee reaction has been mixed about our recent plans to expand to Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Many Xcite employees are concerned that the Los Angeles site will not have the same relaxed corporate environment as the current site. However, this is not the case: The relaxed corporate environment at the San Francisco site will be replicated in Los Angeles. The culture we have developed works for the company and our employees, and we don't plan to change it. Human resources executives are already interviewing San Francisco employees so they can capture and replicate the culture with ease.
Paragraph C: The leadership at the Xcite San Francisco site has been phenomenal during the last ten years. Everyone in senior-level positions has worked his or her way up the corporate ladder and has contributed greatly to the company's success. This team has increased our profits by 6 percent, expanded office space, hired additional IT support, and strengthened our IT infrastructure. These are just a few of this leadership team's many accomplishments. In the next two months, a new leadership team will be formed for the Los Angeles site. This team will consist of transferred employees from the San Francisco site. We will be offering many of you a chance to be part of this move. Additional training will be required for all who are transferring, and moving costs will not be covered. Xcite looks forward to opening another location with excellent products, high profits, and 100 percent employee and customer satisfaction.

The December 31, 2018, balance sheet of Whelan, Inc., showed long-term debt of $1,420,000, $144,000 in the common stock account, and $2,690,000 in the additional paid-in surplus account. The December 31, 2019, balance sheet showed long-term debt of $1,620,000, $154,000 in the common stock account and $2,990,000 in the additional paid-in surplus account. The 2019 income statement showed an interest expense of $96,000 and the company paid out $149,000 in cash dividends during 2019. The firm’s net capital spending for 2019 was $1,000,000, and the firm reduced its net working capital investment by $129,000.
Required:
What was the firm's 2019 operating cash flow, or OCF?
Answer:
606,000
Explanation:
Operating cash flow (OCF) is a measure of the amount of cash generated by a company's normal business operations. Operating cash flow indicates whether a company can generate sufficient positive cash flow to maintain and grow its operations, otherwise, it may require external financing for capital expansion
Operating Cashflow = Cashflow from assets + Net capital spending + Change in Net working capital
Operating Cashflow =(-265,000) + (1,000,000) + (-129,000)
Operating Cashflow = 606,000
Working
New borrowings = Long term borrowings (2019) - Long term borrowings (2018)
New borrowings = 1,620,000 - 1,420,000
New borrowings = 200,000
Cash flow to creditors = Interest expense - new borrowings
Cash flow to creditors = 96,000 - 200,000
Cash flow to creditors = 104,000
New equity = ((Common stock(2019) + additional paid in surplus(2019)) - (Common stock(2018) + additional paid in surplus(2018))
New equity = ($154,000 + $2,990,000) - ($144,000 + $2,690,000)
New equity = 3,144,000 - 2,834,000
New equity = 310,000
Cashflow to stockholders = Dividend (2019) - new equity
Cashflow to stockholders = 149,000 - 310,000
Cashflow to stockholder = -161,000
Cashflow from assets = Cashflow to creditors + cashflow to stockolders
Cashflow from assets = (-104,000) + ( - 161,000)
Cashflow from assets = -265,000
