Answer:
a. Groupon presented the Adjusted Consolidated Segment Operating Income (ACSOI) because it shows a higher amount than EBITDA. The reason is simple, Groupon wanted to show higher revenues and earnings, and the way they thought that they could do it was to use what I call "creative accounting". If the numbers do not match your expectations, play with them and change them until they do. That is exactly what Groupon did.
ACSOI increases EBITDA (which is a non-GAAP metric but it is accepted as valid by all companies) because it excludes certain expenses, e.g. marketing expenses, stock compensations, etc. It is irrational to believe that marketing expenses in a company like Groupon were irrelevant. Just a few years ago Groupon was the fastest-growing internet services company, and online marketing was essential for that type of growth rate.
b. We can just compare EBITDA and ACSOI, both are non-GAAP metrics, but one is properly designed, useful and actually shows how a company's cost structure works. But ACSOI is deliberately used to fool investors.
Some non-GAAP metrics are very useful, such as managerial accounting. Financial reports are tools and how helpful or useful they are depends on people. If you try to fool investors and trick them, eventually they will realize it.
X Manufacturing uses a normal cost system and had the following data available for 20x8: Direct materials purchased on account $148,000 Direct materials requisitioned 98,000 Direct labor cost incurred 127,000 Factory overhead budgeted 155760 Factory overhead incurred 137,800 Cost of goods sold 260,000 Beginning direct materials inventory 34,000 Beginning WIP inventory 70,000 Beginning finished goods inventory 55,000 Ending finished goods inventory 104,000 Overhead application rate, as a percent of direct-labor costs 118% Round your answers to the nearest dollar. Fill in the blank without $ or comma or period, e.g., 12345 What is the adjusted cost of goods sold assuming the over/under applied overhead is immaterial?
Answer:
Adjusted cost of goods sold = $247,940
Explanation:
Under / Over-applied overhead = Factory overhead incurred - Factory overhead applied
Under / Over-applied overhead = Factory overhead incurred - (Direct labor cost*Overhead application rate)
= $137,800 - ($127,000*118%)
Over-applied overhead = $137,800 - $149,860
Over-applied overhead = ($12,060)
Adjusted cost of goods sold = Unadjusted cost of goods sold - Over-applied overhead
Adjusted cost of goods sold = $260,000 - $12,060
Adjusted cost of goods sold = $247,940
Meyer & Smith is a full-service technology company. They provide equipment, installation services as well as training. Customers can purchase any product or service separately or as a bundled package. Container Corporation purchased computer equipment, installation and training for a total cost of $144,000 on March 15, 2021. Estimated standalone fair values of the equipment, installation, and training are $90,000, $60,000, and $30,000 respectively. Determine The transaction price allocated to equipment is The transaction price allocated to installation is The transaction price allocated to training is Express your answer as an integer without $ sign (Round all computations to the nearest dollar. For example, input "100,000" if your answer is $100,000.22).
Answer & Explanation:
If the services were sold separately, their total cost would be;
= 90,000 + 60,000 + 30,000
= $180,000
They were instead bundled together and sold for $144,000
The cost of the individual services will therefore be a proportion of this bundled price based on their proportion were they sold alone.
The transaction price allocated to equipment;
= (90,000/180,000) * 144,000
= $72,000
The transaction price allocated to installation;
= (60,000/180,000) * 144,000
= $48,000
The transaction price allocated to training;
= (30,000/180,000) * 144,000
= $24,000

Use the following information to answer the question below:
Acquirer purchases 100% of target by issuing $100 million in new debt to purchase target shares, carrying an interest rate of 10%
Excess cash is used to help pay for the acquisition
Acquirer expects to be able to close down several of the target company’s old manufacturing facilities and save an estimated $2 million in the first year
Target PP&E is written up by $25 million to fair market value
Investment bankers, accountants, and consultants on the deal earned $30 million in fees
Which of the following adjustments would be made to the pro forma income statement?
a) Advisory fee expense of $30 million
b) Depreciation expense increase due to PP&E write-up
c) Pre-tax synergies of $2 million
d) All of the above
Answer:
d) All of the above
Explanation:
Pro forma income statements are basically estimated or expected income statements which do not necessarily comply with US GAAP norms (are not useful in legal terms), but should reflect future outcomes.
In this case, Acquirer didn't simply decide to purchase Target and carried the operation immediately. The process is long and complicated and many times companies negotiate fair values and future cash flows. If you analyze the acquisition process of Whole Foods by Amazon it is very interesting. After negotiations Amazon paid 4 times the capitalization value of Whole Foods.
Before the actual process ends, Acquirer should present a pro forma statement and it must include all the relevant issues about the merger. They already know how much the transaction will cost, what actions will be taken to increase profits and any other major event.

Answer:
Marketing Research Process
The correct sequence is:
1. defining the problem, analyzing the situation, getting problem-specific data, interpreting the data, solving the problem
Explanation:
A good market research process requires a clear definition of the research problem. This definition is required to focus the research efforts on the identified problem.
Secondly, the situation must be analyzed to enable the development of a good marketing plan, which is the fulcrum of the research.
The third stage is the collection of relevant data that are problem-specific because only relevant data can solve the research questions.
At the fourth stage, the carefully selected and collected data are then analyzed and interpreted in order to create understanding of the issues and help point to solutions based on findings.
Finally, the need to put the identified solutions into action becomes imperative. Information discovered during the research must be put into action to resolve the problem.
Lovely Company offers a 2-year warranty on its product and as of 1/1/2018 Lovely’s warranty liability had an overall balance of $415. During 2018 Lovely sold 1,600 units of inventory at a selling price of $125 per unit and repaired 62 units under warranty at a total repair cost to Lovely of $740. When accounting for warranty cost, Lovely studies prior year customer claims as well as projected labor and material costs and for 2018, Lovely estimated that 4% of the units sold in 2018 would break over the 2-year warranty period at an estimated repair cost of $12.50 per unit. What amount should Lovely report at 12/31/2018 as warranty liability
Answer:
$475
Explanation:
the summary journal entry to record sales revenue and warranty expense during 2018:
Dr Cash 200,000
Cr Sales revenue 200,000
Dr Warranty expense 800
Cr Warranty liability 800
The journal entry to account for actual warranty costs:
Dr Warranty liability 740
Cr Cash (or wages payable or inventory) 740
the December 31, 2018 balance of warranty liability = initial balance + warranty liability associated to 2018 sales - incurred warranty costs = $415 + $800 - $740 = $475

Complete the letter to Tanya advising her of the tax consequences of this exchange.
Answer:
Following are the solution to the given point:
Explanation:
In point a:
Sum of:
= ($89,000 + $3,000)
= $92,000
Modified foundation= -$80,000
A real profit= $12,000
Gain (boot received) recognised = $3,000
Tanya's West Coast Changed Base:
Fair Market = $89,000
Posted benefit:
= ($ 12,000- $ 3,000)
= $ 9,000
Adjusted Base =$80,000
In part b:
Realized benefit calculation:
Sum of = $92,000
Modified Base =$72,000 + $3,000 = $75,000
A real profit= $17,000
gain was accepted = $0
Changed base of Martin to the West Coast:
Fair Market = $92,000
Gain deferred = ($17,000-$0) = $ 17,000
Adjusted Base = $75,000
In point c:
Recognized benefit from Martin:
Value = $1,20,000
Base adjusted= $ 75,000
actual gain = $45,000
Gain Recognized= $45,000
In point d:
Tanya has little effect mostly on selling by Lisa of an eastern seaboard ground. There is no supposed selling care among Lauren and Tanya after selling property on the eastern seaboard since they are unrelated parties.
In point e:
sum of = $92,000.
Tanya 's acceptable basis is $80,000 ($89,000-($12,000-$3,000)).
actual benefit = $ 12,000
gain benefit = $3,000
Since the trade is deemed a non-taxable trade, $3,000 is recognized of the total $12,000 benefit. Its ground earned is $80,000 adjusted.

You receive a credit card application from Shady Banks Savings and Loan offering an introductory rate of .6 percent per year, compounded monthly for the first six months, increasing thereafter to 17.5 percent compounded monthly. Assume you transfer the $6,500 balance from your existing credit card and make no subsequent payments. How much interest will you owe at the end of the first year? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
Total interest paid = $606.63
Explanation:
First calculate the monthly payment for first six months
Monthly interest for first 6 months =.006/12=.0005
= 6500*(1.0005)^6
=6519.52
Interest rate for next six months
=17.37%/12=1.45%
(1.0145)^6=1.090054
=6519.52*(1+.0145)^6
=7106.63
Total interest paid = 7106.63-6500
Total interest paid = 606.63

Spaceley’s Sprockets has just developed a new product. George Jetson, the Head of Product Development, feels that the product is a winner, but he also feels it would be an even better product if waited six more months for further development before launching. Unfortunately, Spaceley’s closest competitor, Cogsley Cogs, has a similar product in the development pipeline. George feels that if he launches the product now to get a head start on Cogsley, he has a 50% chance of achieving a high level of sales, a 30% chance of a medium level of sales, and a 20% chance of a low level of sales. If he waits, he has a 30% chance of a high level of sales, and a 70% chance of a medium level of sales, with no chance of a low level of sales. High sales represents 100,000 units, medium sales represents 65,000 units, and low sales represents 10,000 units. If his objective is to maximize his expected number of units sold, what should George do and how many units would he be expected to sell
Answer:
George should wait for six more months for further development before launching.
Total units expected to be sold by this time is 75500 units
Explanation:
when launched early
Spaceley has : 50% of high level sale, 30% chance of medium level sale
20% chance of low level sale
When launched late
Spaceley has : 30% of high level sale, 70% of medium level sale, o% of low level sale
while
High sales = 100000
Medium sale = 65000
low level sale = 10000
A) when launched early
50% * 100000 = 50000
30% * 65000 = 19500
20% * 10000 = 2000
Total sales = 71500 units
B) when launched after 6 months
30% * 100000 = 30000
70% * 65000 = 45500
Total sales = 75500 units
George should wait for six more months for further development before launching.
Total units expected to be sold by this time is 75500 units

Hudek Inc., a manufacturing Corporation, has provided the following data for the month of July. The balance in the Work in Process inventory account was $20,000 at the beginning of the month and $10,000 at the end of the month. During the month, the Corporation incurred direct materials cost of $50,000 and direct labor cost of $22,000. The actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred was $58,000. The manufacturing overhead cost applied to Work in Process was $56,000. The cost of goods manufactured for July was:
Answer:
$138,000
Explanation:
The computation of cost of goods manufactured for July is shown below:-
Cost of goods manufactured for July = Opening work in progress + Direct material + Direct labor + Manufacturing cost - Closing work in progress
= $20,000 + $50,000 + $22,000 + $56,000 - $10,000
= $148,000 - $10,000
= $138,000
Therefore for computing the cost of goods manufactured for July we simply applied the formula.
Economic Order Quantity computes:
A: Cost of an order
B: Re-order level
C: Cost of stock
D: Optimum Order size
Answer:
D: Optimum Order size
Explanation:
Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is a formula applied in logistic and supply chain management to calculate a business's ideal order size. As the name suggests, the order EOQ provides an order quantity that makes economic sense.
Economies of scale suggest that a bigger order size is better because the business will save transport costs. However, ordering in large quantities increases the cost of holding stock. The economic order quantity strikes a balance between these two important factors.

Your company has a line of credit through a local bank. The bank requires a 6% compensating balance and charges 12% on the amount borrowed against the line. If the company needs $100,000 to purchase inventory, find the amount it should borrow, and calculate the effective annual rate on the loan (b) You’ve worked out a line of credit arrangement that allows you to borrow up to $100 million at any time. The interest rate is 0.4 percent per month. In addition, 5% of the amount that you borrow must be deposited in a non-interest bearing account (i.e. a compensating balance). Assume that your bank uses compound interest on its line of credit loans. What is the effective annual rate (EAR) on the loan? W
Answer:
A) 19.15%
B) 68.53%
Explanation:
as it requires 6% of compensating balance the company you ask for:
$100,000 / (1 - 6%) = 106.382,98
Now we solve for the effective rate.
106,382.98 x (1 + 0,12) = 100,000 x (1 + r)
r = 119.148,93/100,000 - 1 = 0,1914893
B) we do the same procedure as the previous one
[tex]1/(0,95) (1+0.04)^{12} = 1+r_e[/tex]

As organizations expand into global markets, business communicators need to become aware of their own culture and how it differs from other cultures. Cultural awareness allows professionals to communicate successfully with other cultures and to navigate the intercultural challenges of a globalized business world. The first step in overcoming intercultural obstacles is understanding the trends that drive globalization.
Identify the trend illustrated by the following example.
A U.S. retailer of high-tech products looks to open stores in Russia where there has been a surge in demand for smartphones and tablet computers.
A) Favorable trade agreements
B) Robust middle-class growth
C) Transportation advancements
Answer:
Option C (Robust middle-class growth) seems to be the correct option.
Explanation:
We will construct a convincing hypothesis of middle-class development by culling through canonical academics as well as contemporary scholars. Stable demand, confidence, political stability, and a collection of respectable, forward-looking liberal as well as proto-capitalist practices are the main structures of middle-class-led growth.Some other possibilities given weren’t connected to the instance given. So, the solution here is the best one.
XYZ Corporation has a 6 1/2% convertible bond outstanding that is convertible into 40 shares of common stock. The bond is currently selling in the market at 85 ($850) and the common stock is selling at 21. The XYZ Corporation is offering its existing bondholders a new straight (nonconvertible) bond paying 6 1/2% that matures at the same time as the convertible bond. The effect of the successful completion of the proposal would be to:_________
a) Reduce interest costs
b) Reduce potential dilution
c) Have no effect on interest costs
d) Increase dilution
Answer:
b) Reduce potential dilution
c) Have no effect on interest costs
Explanation:
Since in the question it is mentioned that the corporation is offering its existing bondholders for paying 6 1/2% this matured at the same time just like the convertible bond.
So here if the proposal is completed so the impact would be reduction in the potential dilution also it would not have impact on the effect on the interest rate and the same is to be considered
Which of the following statements about normal costing is not true? Group of answer choices Manufacturing overhead is allocated using budgeted rate and actual cost allocation base used. Direct costs and indirect costs are traced using an actual rate. Direct costs are traced using an actual rate, and indirect costs are allocated using a budgeted rate. Manufacturing overhead is allocated using budgeted rate and budgeted cost allocation base. Direct costs and indirect costs are traced using budgeted rates. Direct costs are traced using a budgeted rate, and indirect costs are allocated using an actual rate.
Answer:
Direct costs are traced using an actual rate, and indirect costs are allocated using a budgeted rate
Explanation:
Normal costing refers to the actual cost of direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead applied. This cost is calculated by using a predetermined annual overhead rate.
Direct costs are expenses involved in producing goods or providing services and indirect costs are general expenses that are involved in operating.
The statement about normal costing which is not true is ''Direct costs are traced using an actual rate, and indirect costs are allocated using a budgeted rate''
You can buy a property today for $4 million and sell it in 6 years for $5 million. You will not earn any rental income on the property. Answer the following questions. a.) If the interest rate is 5%, what is the present value of the sales price? _____________ (4 pts) b.) Is this a good investment for you? Explain your answer ____________________________ _______________________________________________________________________(4 pts) c.) If the interest rate is 5%, what is the present value of the sales price if you also earned $200,000 in rental income each year? _______________________________________________(4 pts)
Answer:
a. Present value = $3,731,076.98
It is not a good investment because the present value of the sales price is less than the purchase price of the property. This means that purchasing the property would be unprofitable.
c. Present value = $4,746,215.40
Explanation:
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator
a. Cash flow each year from year 1 to 5 = 0
Cash flow in year 6 = $5,000,000
I = 5%
Present value = $3,731,076.98
It is not a good investment because the present value of the sales price is less than the purchase price of the property. This means that purchasing the property would be unprofitable.
c. Cash flow each year from year 1 to 5 = $200,000
cash flow in year 6 = $200,000 + $5,000,000 = $5,200,000
I = 5%
Present value = $4,746,215.40
To find the PV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

Leo Consulting enters into a contract with Highgate University to restructure Highgate’s processes for purchasing goods from suppliers. The contract states that Leo will earn a fixed fee of $25,000 and earn an additional $10,000 if Highgate achieves $100,000 of cost savings. Leo estimates a 50% chance that Highgate will achieve $100,000 of cost savings. Assuming that Leo determines the transaction price as the expected value of expected consideration, what transaction price will Leo estimate for this contract?
Answer:
The transaction price would Leo estimated for this contract is $30,000
Explanation:
The computation of the transaction price is shown below:
= (Fixed fee + additional amount) × chance + fixed fee × chance
= $35,000 × 50% + $25,000 × 50%
= $17,500 + $12,500
= $30,000
hence, the transaction price would Leo estimated for this contract is $30,000

Charles Lackey operates a bakery in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Because of its excellent product and excellent location, demand has increased by 25% in the last year. On far too many occasions, customers have not been able to purchase the bread of their choice. Because of the size of the store, no new ovens can be added. As a staff meeting, one employee suggested ways to load the ovens differently so that more loaves of bread can be baked at one time. This new process will require that the ovens be loaded by hand, requiring additional manpower. This is the only thing to be changed. The bakery makes 1,500 loaves per month with a labor productivity of 2.344 loaves per labor-hour, how many workers will lackey need to add?
Answer:
It would take is one worker to finish it. The further explanation is given below.
Explanation:
The given value are:
Complete loaves for every hour of labor
= 2.244
Each employee who works every month.
= 160 hours
Monthly output of one worker will be:
= [tex]Total \ loaves\times Total \ hours[/tex]
= [tex]2.344\times 160[/tex]
= [tex]375.04 \ loaves[/tex]
The increased competition, as we know, seems to be "25%" of 1,500 loaves every month.
= [tex]1500\times 25 \ percent[/tex]
= [tex]375[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{375}{375.04}[/tex]
= [tex]0.99[/tex]
Throughout preparation around for job to be completed, Lackely would need to employ another worker although one worker's monthly output is equivalent to 375.04 loaves as well as the minimum additional loaves every month becomes 375, so what it would take is one worker to finish it.
