Complete question :

Your company has sales of $101,500 this year and cost of goods sold of $66,300. You forecast sales to increase to $118,900 next year. Using the percent of sales method, forecast next year's cost of goods sold. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 temporarily allows 100% bonus depreciation (effectively expensing capital expenditures). However, we will still include depreciation forecasting in this chapter and in these problems in anticipation of the return of standard depreciation practices during your career The forecasted cost of goods sold (COGS) is $ ___________ (Round to the nearest dollar.)

Answer:

$77,666

Explanation:

Given the following :

Sales for the year = $101,500

Cost of goods sold =$66,300

Forecasted increase in sales for next year = $118,900

Forecasted cost of goods sold for next year =?

Percentage cost of goods sold for this year:

Cost of goods sold / sales for this year

$66300/$101500

= 0.6532019

Forecasted cost of goods sold for next year:

(Forecasted increase in next year's sale * % cost of goods sold for this year)

= 118,900 * 0.6532019

= $77665.714

= $77666 ( nearest dollar)

All of the following are forms of cognitive bias except:_____.
A. Confirmation bias: This bias occurs when decision makers seek out evidence that confirms their previously held beliefs, while discounting or diminishing the impact of evidence in support of differing conclusions.
B. Anchoring: This is the overreliance on an initial single piece of information or experience to make subsequent judgments. Once an anchor is set, other judgments are made by adjusting away from that anchor, which can limit one’s ability to accurately interpret new, potentially relevant information.
C. Shifting: This is the bias involved in shifting perspectives too rapidly, thereby forgoing objectivity and sound reasoning.
D. Halo effect: This is an observer’s overall impression of a person, company, brand, or product, and it influences the observer’s feelings and thoughts about that entity’s overall character or properties. It is the perception, for example, that if someone does well in a certain area, then they will automatically perform well at something else regardless of whether those tasks are related.
E. Overconfidence bias: This bias occurs when a person overestimates the reliability of their judgments. This can include the certainty one feels in her own ability, performance, level of control, or chance of success.

The following model is a simplified version of the multiple regression model used by Biddle and Hamermesh (1990) to study the tradeoff between time spent sleeping and working and to look at other factors affecting sleep:

sleep = β0 + β1totwrk + β2educ + β3age + u,

where sleep and totwrk (total work) are measured in minutes per week and educ and age are measured in years. (See also Computer Exercise.)

(i) If adults trade off sleep for work, what is the sign of β1?

(ii) What signs do you think β2 and β3 will have?

(iii) Using the data in SLEEP75.RAW, the estimated equation is

= 3,638.25 - .148 totwrk - 11.13 educ + 2.20 age n = 706, R2 = .113.

If someone works five more hours per week, by how many minutes is sleep predicted to fall? Is this a large tradeoff?

(iv) Discuss the sign and magnitude of the estimated coefficient on educ.

(v) Would you say totwrk, educ, and age explain much of the variation in sleep? What other factors might affect the time spent sleeping? Are these likely to be correlated with totwrk?

Use the data in SLEEP75.RAW from Biddle and Hamermesh (1990) to study whether there is a tradeoff between the time spent sleeping per week and the time spent in paid work. We could use either variable as the dependent variable. For concreteness, estimate the model

sleep =β0+ β1totwrk+u, where sleep is minutes spent sleeping at night per week and totwrk is total minutes worked during the week.

(i) Report your results in equation form along with the number of observations and R2. What does the intercept in this equation mean?

(ii) If totwrk increases by 2 hours, by how much is sleep estimated to fall? Do you find this to be a large effect?

Elaine Sweeney went to Ragged Mountain Ski Resort in New Hampshire with a friend. Elaine went snow tubing down a run designed exclusively for snow tubers. There were no Ragged Mountain employees present in the snow-tube area to instruct Elaine on the proper use of a snow tube. On her fourth run down the trail, Elaine crossed over the center line between snow-tube lanes, collided with another snow tuber, and was injured. Elaine filed a negligence action against Ragged Mountain seeking compensation for the injuries that she sustained. Two years earlier, the New Hampshire state legislature had enacted a statute that prohibited a person who participates in the sport of skiing from suing a ski-area operator for injuries caused by the risks inherent in skiing. Using the information to answer the following questions.

a. What defense will Ragged Mountain probably assert?
b. The central question in this case is whether the state statute establishing that skiers assume the risks inherent in the sport bars Elaine's suit. What would your decision be on this issue? Why?
c. Suppose that the court concludes that the statute applies only to skiing and not to snow tubing. Will Elaine's lawsuit be successful? Explain.
d. Now suppose that the jury concludes that Elaine was partly at fault for the accident. Under what theory might her damages be reduced in proportion to the degree to which her actions contributed to the accident and her resulting injuries?

Agency conflicts between managers and shareholders
Remember, an agency relationship can degenerate into an agency conflict when an agent acts in a manner that is not in the best interest of his or her principal. In large corporations, these conflicts most frequently involve the enrichment of the firm’s executives or managers (in the form of money and perquisites or power and prestige) at the expense of the company’s shareholders. This usurping and reallocation of shareholder wealth is most likely to occur when shareholders do not have sufficient information about the decisions and actions being made by the firm’s management.
Consider the following scenario and determine whether an agency conflict exists:
William and Abigail equally own and manage A New Beginning (ANB), a store that sells preowned clothing and furniture. William is responsible for ANB’s back-office activities, and Abigail staffs the store and makes deliveries to customers. Both have equal decision-making authority and, under the terms of their partnership agreement, both are prohibited from making personal purchases using company funds without prior approval of the other partner. William, without Abigail’s knowledge, used the company’s bank account recently to purchase a new sports car. William has acknowledged that the car will not be used to support the business.
Is this a potential agency conflict between William and Abigail?
No; William and Abigail are both authorized to spend ANB’s money, so no conflict of interest can occur.
No; William and Abigail co-own and co-manage ANB and have a partnership agreement that makes them equal, so an agency conflict cannot exist.
Yes; William is misappropriating some of Abigail’s wealth by unilaterally purchasing a nonbusiness asset using ANB’s funds.
Yes; it should have been Abigail who purchased the car.
Consider the following scenario and determine whether an agency conflict exists:
Five years ago, Caesar created a plant-care business that grew, stocked, and maintained fresh plants in office buildings throughout Raleigh. Over time, The Green Zone Inc. (TGZ) has grown from a proprietorship into a corporation, now reaching far beyond Raleigh. To finance and support this growth, TGZ issued shares that were sold to TGZ employees, Caesar’s family members, and selected outsiders. Caesar is TGZ’s chairman of the board of directors and CEO, but he is no longer the largest shareholder.
At the latest annual meeting, two mutually exclusive proposals were placed on the ballot for discussion and vote. The first was put forth by Caesar and TGZ’s management team, and the second was proposed by a small group of other shareholders. Both groups are adamantly opposed to the other group’s proposal, even though both proposals would likely have the same effect on TGZ’s value and riskiness.
Does an agency conflict exist between TGZ’s management and the small group of opposing shareholders?
No; although an agency relationship exists between TGZ’s management—including Caesar as TGZ’s chairman and CEO and the firm’s shareholders—there is no agency conflict, because no expropriation or wasting of the shareholders’ wealth has occurred.
No; Caesar was the original owner of TGZ, so he would always be sensitive to the concerns of the firm’s current owners (shareholders) and would not engage in an agency conflict.
Yes; any conflict or disagreement between the firm’s managers and its shareholders constitutes an agency conflict.
Yes; an agency relationship exists, and an agency relationship always gives rise to agency conflicts, regardless of the actual behavior of the participants.
Which of the following actions will help ease agency conflicts and better align managers’ objectives with the firm’s shareholder wealth?
Pay the manager a large base salary with a huge stock option package that matures on a single date.
Pay the manager a combination of salary and stock options (phased in over several years) that reward him or her for consistently increasing shareholder wealth.
Great Fortunes Baking Company’s stockholders are mostly individual investors, and there is relatively little institutional ownership. If several pension and mutual funds were to take large positions in Great Fortunes Baking Company’s stock, direct shareholder intervention would be more or less likely to motivate the firm’s management.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Congress passed legislation making it more difficult for outside investors to stage hostile takeovers. This legislation likely reduced or increased conflicts between managers and stockholders.
