Answer:
Product XYZ should not be dropped. Because it is bringing a profit contribution of $5,000 towards fixed costs.
Explanation:
Calculating the Profit Contribution of Product XYZ
Sales revenue $60,000
Less Cost of Goods Sold ($40,000)
Contribution Margin $20,000
Less Traceable Fixed Costs ($30,000 - $15,000) ($15,000)
Profit Contribution $5,000
Hint : Remove the fixed cost element centrally controlled from Product XYZ fixed costs.
Since Product XYZ is bringing a profit contribution of $5,000 towards the fixed costs, it should not be dropped.
During 2020, Stellar Furniture Company purchases a carload of wicker chairs. The manufacturer sells the chairs to Stellar for a lump sum of $137,655 because it is discontinuing manufacturing operations and wishes to dispose of its entire stock. Three types of chairs are included in the carload. The three types and the estimated selling price for each are listed below. Type No. of Chairs Estimated Selling Price Each Lounge chairs 920 $90 Armchairs 690 80 Straight chairs 1,610 50 During 2020, Stellar sells 460 lounge chairs, 230 armchairs, and 276 straight chairs. What is the amount of gross profit realized during 2020? What is the amount of inventory of unsold straight chairs on December 31, 2020? (Round cost per chair to 2 decimal places, e.g. 78.25 and final answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,845.) Gross profit realized during 2020 $enter a dollar amount 27,232 Amount of inventory of unsold straight chairs $enter a dollar amount 42,021
Answer:
What is the amount of gross profit realized during 2020?
(460 x $33.30) + (230 x $29.60) + (276 x $18.50) = $27,232
What is the amount of inventory of unsold straight chairs on December 31, 2020?
[(920 - 460) x $56.70] + [(690 - 230) x $50.40] + [(1,610 - 276) x $31.50] = $26,082 + $23,184 + $42,021 = $91,287
Explanation:
lump sum cost of chairs = $137,655
Type Chairs Selling Price Each Total
Lounge chairs 920 $90 $82,800
Armchairs 690 $80 $55,20
Straight chairs 1,610 $50 $80,500
total 3,220 $218,500
if we allocate costs based on resale, then each chair should cost:
Lounge chairs $90 x ($137,655 / $218,500) = $56.70
Armchairs $80 x ($137,655 / $218,500) = $50.40
Straight chairs $50 x ($137,655 / $218,500) = $31.50
contribution margin per chair:
Lounge chairs $90 - $56.70 = $33.30
Armchairs $80 - $50.40 = $29.60
Straight chairs $50 - $31.50 = $18.50
Andrew plans to retire in 40 years. He plans to invest part of his retirement funds in stocks, so he seeks out information on past returns. He learns that over the entire 20th century, the real (that is, adjusted for inflation) annual returns on U.S. common stocks had mean 8.7% and standard deviation 20.2%. The distribution of annual returns on common stocks is roughly symmetric, so the mean return over even a moderate number of years is close to Normal. What is the probability (assuming that the past pattern of variation continues) that the mean annual return on common stocks over the next 40 years will exceed 10%
Answer:
26%
Explanation:
Given that Mean, μ = 8.7% = 0.087
Standard Deviation, σ = 20.2% = 0.202
Normal distribution, n = 40
Notice that the distribution annual returns of stocks are a bell-shaped distribution.
hence, using the formula
Zscore = (x - μ ) / σ
= where we have P(return greater than 10%)
= P(x > 0.10)
= P(x > 0.10) = P [z > (0.10 - 0.087)/0.202]
= P (z > 0.0643)
= 1 - P (z > 0.0643)
= Using the value from standard normal z table,
= P (x > 610) = 1 - 0.740 =0.26 = 26%
Hence, the correct answer is 26%.

Answer:
An integrated feedback system between the individual/organization making a decision, and the broader environment’s reactions to those decisions. This type of decision-making process involves iterative cycles and constant assessment of the reactions and impacts of the decision.
Explanation:
As the name implies, cognition requires the use of the senses to acquire information and process that information so as to enable better decision making. Individuals and organizations make use of the cognitive style of decision-making when they obtain information and process them to see how they affect others. The effects of the decisions should be properly observed and analyzed.
The method follows a circle. So, when one aim is reached, the decision-maker can evaluate whether it is satisfactory or whether more efforts should be made.

Today you are feeling bullish on UPP stock. You decide the best way to play that opinion is to purchase 5 call options that expire in 4 months with a strike price of 70.00. To lower your risk and your cost basis you simultaneously sell 3 call options that also expire in 4 months with a strike price of 77.50. The current stock price is 70.80. The price of the 70-strike call is 5.50 and the price of the 77.50 strike call is 2.40. The current continuously compounded risk free rate is 3% (annual). 3.
a. Calculate your profit/loss if the ending price of one share of UPP stock is 80.00.
b. Calculate your profit/loss if the ending price of one share of UPP stock is 65.00.
Answer:
a. Total profit = $22.2
b. Total profit = -$20.3 / Loss of $20.3.
Explanation:
a) If ending price is $80
Profit of long call = No. of contracts * [max(St - X,0) - premium paid]
Long call profit = 5 * [max(80 - 70,0) - 5.5]
Long call profit = 5 * [10 - 5.5]
Long call profit = $22.5
Profit of short call = No. of contracts * [-max(St - X, 0) + Premium received]
Profit of short call = 3 * [-max(80 - 77.5, 0) + 2.4]
Profit of short call = 3 * [-2.5 + 2.4]
Profit of short call = -$0.3
Total profit = Long call profit - Profit of short call
Total profit = 22.5 - 0.3
Total profit = $22.2
b) If ending price is $65
Profit of long call = No. of contracts * [max(St - X,0) - premium paid]
Profit of long call = 5 * [max(65 - 70, 0) - 5.5]
Profit of long call = 5 * [0 - 5.5]
Profit of long call = -$27.5
Profit of short call = No. of contracts * [-max(St - X, 0) + Premium received]
Profit of short call = 3 * [-max(65 - 77.5, 0) + 2.4]
Profit of short call = 3 * [0 + 2.4]
Profit of short call = $7.2
Total profit = Long call profit - Profit of short call
Total profit = -27.5 + 7.2
Total profit = -$20.3 / Loss of $20.3.

NU YU announced today that it will begin paying annual dividends. The first dividend will be paid next year in the amount of $.53 a share. The following dividends will be $.58, $.73, and $1.03 a share annually for the following three years, respectively. After that, dividends are projected to increase by 3.6 percent per year. How much are you willing to pay today to buy one share of this stock if your desired rate of return is 10 percent? Multiple Choice $16.67 $17.27 $3.40 $17.20 $13.60
Answer:
The current stock price is $13.60
Explanation:
D1 = $0.53
D2 = $0.58
D3 = $0.73
D4 = $1.03
Growth rate, g = 3.60%
Required return, r = 10.00%
D5 = D4 * (1 + g)
D5 = $1.03 * 1.036
D5 = $1.06708
P4 = D5 / (r - g)
P4 = $1.06708 / (0.10 - 0.036)
P4 = $16.673125
P0 = $0.53/1.10 + $0.58/1.10^2 + $0.73/1.10^3 + $1.03/1.10^4 + $16.673125/1.10^4
P0 = $13.60
So, current stock price is $13.60
Calculating the Predetermined Overhead Rate, Applying Overhead to Production, Reconciling Overhead at the End of the Year, Adjusting Cost of Goods Sold for Under- and Overapplied Overhead At the beginning of the year, Han Company estimated the following: Overhead $582,400 Direct labor hours 80,000 Han uses normal costing and applies overhead on the basis of direct labor hours. For the month of January, direct labor hours were 6,950. By the end of the year, Han showed the following actual amounts: Overhead $613,320 Direct labor hours 84,100 Assume that unadjusted Cost of Goods Sold for Han was $927,000.
Required:
1. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate for Han. Round your answer to the nearest cent. $ per direct labor hour
2. Calculate the overhead applied to production in January. (Note: Round to the nearest dollar.) $
3. Calculate the total applied overhead for the year. $ Was overhead over- or underapplied? By how much? overhead $
4. Calculate adjusted Cost of Goods Sold after adjusting for the overhead variance.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 582,400/80,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $7.28 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead based on actual hours:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
January:
Allocated MOH= 7.28*6,950= $50,596
Year:
Allocated MOH= 7.28*84,100= $612,248
Now, we can determine the under/over allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 613,320 - 612,248
Under/over applied overhead= $1,072 underallocated
If overhead is underallocated, the cost of goods sold should increase:
Adjusted COGS= 927,000 + 1,072= $928,072
Garvey's Fine Furnishings manufactures upscale custom furniture. currently uses a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor hours to allocate its of manufacturing overhead to individual jobs. However, , owner and CEO, is considering refining the company's costing system by using departmental overhead rates. Currently, the Machining Department incurs of manufacturing overhead while the Finishing Department incurs of manufacturing overhead. has identified machine hours (MH) as the primary manufacturing overhead cost driver in the Machining Department and direct labor (DL) hours as the primary cost driver in the Finishing Department.
Requirement 1. Compute the plantwide overhead rate assuming that Garvey's expects to incur 30,000 total DL hours during the year First identify the formula, then compute the rate.
Total manufacturing overhead / Cost allocation base = Plantwide overhead
(estimated) rate
$1,290,000 / 30,000 = 43
Requirement 2. Compute departmental overhead rates assuming that Garvey's expects to incur 14,500 MH in the Machining Department and 17,500 DL hours in the Finishing Department during the year. First identify the formula, then compute the rate for each department.
Total department / Cost allocation base = Departmental
overhead (estimated) overhead rate
Machining 870,000 / 14,500 = 60 per mach hour
Finishing 420,000 / 17,500 = 24 per DL hour
Requirement 3. If Garvey's continues to use the plantwide overhead rate, how much manufacturing overhead would be allocated to Job 450 and Job 455? Identify th formula, then calculate the amount of manufacturing overhead that would be allocated to the jobs if the plantwide overhead rate is used.
Actual use of Manufacturing overhead
Plantwide overhead rate x allocation base = allocated
Job 450 43 x 5 = 215
Job 455 43 x 5 = 215
Requirement 4. Based on your answers to Requirements 2 and 3, does the plantwide overhead rate overcost or undercost either job? Explain. If Garvey's sells its furniture at 125% of cost, will its choice of allocation systems affect product pricing? Explain.
The single plantwide rate undercosts Job 450 by $1 and undercosts Job 455 by $216.
Answer and Explanation:
1. Plantwide overhead rate =Total manufacturing cost divided cost allocation base= 1290000/30000= $43
2. Departmental overhead rate=
Total department / Cost allocation base =
For Machining
870,000 / 14,500 = 60 per machine hour
For Finishing
420,000 / 17,500 = 24 per DL hour
3.
=Plantwide overhead rate(see above) x allocation base
For Job 450 =
43*5=$215
For Job 455 =
43*5=$215
4. Add up machining and finishing for each job
Job 450= (2*60)+(4*24)=216
Job 455= (7*60)+(3*24)= 492
Total overhead allocation for job 450 = 216
Total overhead allocation for job 455=
492
Job 450 plant wide overhead rate under costs it by 216-215=$1
Job 455 plant wide overhead rate undercosts it by 492-215=$277
5. The price is set at 125% of cost and is therefore based on cost which is affected by the cost allocation system used here. Hence choice of allocation system affects price
upo Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. The company based its predetermined overhead rate for the current year on the following data: Total machine-hours32,800 Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost$164,000 Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour$ 5 Recently, Job T687 was completed with the following characteristics: Number of units in the job10 Total machine-hours30 Direct materials$ 745 Direct labor cost$1,490 The unit product cost for Job T687 is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
Answer: $253.50 per unit
Explanation:
Total Overhead = Fixed manufacturing Overhead + Variable Manufacturing Overhead
= 164,000 + ($5 * 32,800)
= $328,000
Manufacturing overhead rate per hour = Total Overhead/ Machine hours
= 328,000/32,800
= $10 per hour
Job T687 used 30 machine hours so its manufacturing overhead is;
= 10 * 30
= $300
Job T687 cost = Direct materials + Direct labor cost + Manufacturing overhead
= 745 + 1,490 + 300
= $2,535
There were 10 units in the Job so unit product cost is;
= 2,535/10
= $253.50 per unit
Kevin Hall is saving for an Australian vacation in three years. He estimates that he will need $5,920 to cover his airfare and all other expenses for a week-long holiday in Australia. If he can invest his money in an S&P 500 equity index fund that is expected to earn an average annual return of 10.5 percent over the next three years, how much will he have to save every year if he starts saving at the end of this year? (Round factor values to 4 decimal places, e.g. 1.5212 and final answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25.)
Answer:
$1,779.90
Explanation:
Formula for finding the amount he has to save, this formula would be used :
Amount = FV / annuity factor
Annuity factor = [(1 + r)^n - 1 / r]
FV = Future value = $5920
n = number of years = 3
i = interest rate = 10.5
Annuity factor = (1.105^3 - 1 ) / 0.105 = 3.326025
$5920 / 3.326025 = $1,779.90

What is business profit?A product's selling price less all manufacturing and selling costs, including taxes, or the difference between a company's revenue and costs. But generally speaking, a small business's healthy profit margin falls between 7 and 10 percent. But keep in mind that other industries, like retail or the food industry, can have reduced margins. They frequently have larger overhead expenditures, which explains this.
Profit is what remains after all costs have been deducted from a company's revenue, also known as income. In small firms, the owner or owners typically receive the entire profit. Publicly traded companies distribute dividends to stockholders from their profits.

Explanation:
EcoFabrics has budgeted overhead costs of $945,000. It has allocated overhead on a plantwide basis to its two products (wool and cotton) using direct labor hours which are estimated to be 450,000 for the current year. The company has decided to experiment with activity-based costing and has created two activity cost pools and related activity cost drivers. These two cost pools are cutting (cost driver is machine hours) and design (cost driver is number of setups). Overhead allocated to the cutting cost pool is $360,000, and $585,000 is allocated to the design cost pool.Additional information related to these pools is as follows:Machine hours wool: 100,000Number of set ups wool: 1,000Machine hours cotton: 100,000Number of set ups cotton: 500Machine hours total: 200,000Number of setups total: 1,500The amount of overhead allocated to the wool product line and the cotton product line using activity-based costing & traditional approach is as follows:ABC wool: $570,000Traditional wool: $472,500ABC cotton: $375,000Traditional cotton: $472,500Required:How does allocation using the traditional approach compare with the amount allocated using ABC?
Answer:
The main advantage of using ABC costing method is that it is more exact than traditional costing, and overhead costs are generally allocated on different basis (cost drivers) which results in a more fair distribution.
In this case, overhead costs allocated based solely on direct labor hours might be over or under stated since certain manufacturing procedures might require a lot of labor but few machines, while others might require few labor and a lot of machines.
Cutting is done mostly by machines while design is done mostly by employees. Allocating cutting overhead costs based on machine hours makes sense. Since both wool and cotton require the same amount of machine hours, cutting costs are allocated equally between them.
On the other hand, design is carried out by employees, so allocating design costs based on set ups (which is also carried out by employees) makes sense. That is why most of design costs are allocated to wool (wool requires 67% of setups).
Before under the traditional method, overhead costs were allocated evenly, but once we start allocating them based on more real cost drivers, the total amounts change.

What percentage of the variation in overhead costs is explained by the independent variable? 92.10% 45.00% 84.80% 8.48% None of the above
Answer:
84.80%
Explanation:
According to the given situation, the computation of the percentage of the variation is shown below:-
The Percentage of the variation is
= R^2 × Percentage
= 0.848 × 100
= 84.80%
Therefore for computing the percentage of the variation we simply applied the above formula.
hence, the percentage of variation is 84.80%
Middle management is the intermediate management level accountable to top management and responsible for leading lower level managers. Which of the following is not a typical function of middle management? Middle management is at the center of a hierarchical organization, subordinate to the senior management but above the lowest levels of operational staff. Middle managers are accountable to top management for their department’s function. They provide guidance to lower-level managers and inspire them to perform better. Middle managers balance a functional or technical understanding of those who report to them with the interpersonal skills of a manager. This form of leadership requires a strong ability to communicate, mentor, train, hire, organize, optimize processes, and prioritize. Middle-management functions generally revolve around enabling teams of workers to perform effectively and efficiently and reporting these performance indicators to upper management. Middle management may be reduced in organizations as a result of reorganization. Such changes can take the form of downsizing," delayering," and outsourcing.
Answer:
Middle Management
Which is not a typical function:
Middle management may be reduced in organizations as a result of reorganization. Such changes can take the form of downsizing," delayering," and outsourcing.
Explanation:
Options:
1. Middle management is at the center of a hierarchical organization, subordinate to the senior management but above the lowest levels of operational staff.
2. Middle managers are accountable to top management for their department’s function. They provide guidance to lower-level managers and inspire them to perform better.
3. Middle managers balance a functional or technical understanding of those who report to them with the interpersonal skills of a manager. This form of leadership requires a strong ability to communicate, mentor, train, hire, organize, optimize processes, and prioritize.
4. Middle-management functions generally revolve around enabling teams of workers to perform effectively and efficiently and reporting these performance indicators to upper management.
5. Middle management may be reduced in organizations as a result of reorganization. Such changes can take the form of downsizing," delayering," and outsourcing.
The last option (No. 5) is certainly not a function of middle management. It is what happens to middle management during reorganization.
6. Limitations of GDP Although GDP is a reasonably good measure of a nation's output, it does not necessarily include all transactions and production for that nation. Which of the following scenarios are either not accounted for or measured inaccurately by either the income or the expenditure methods of calculating GDP for the United States? Check all that apply. The quality of goods available to consumers The costs of air and water pollution Expenditures on federal highways The value of babysitting services, when the babysitter is paid in cash and the transaction isn't reported to the government When a U.S. company purchases and imports wood from Brazil to use to build new houses within the United States, this purchase increases the component of GDP while also net exports by the same amount. Therefore, the purchase of wood from Brazil causes in US GDP. g
Answer:
a.
The quality of goods available to consumers The costs of air and water pollution The value of babysitting services, when the babysitter is paid in cash and the transaction isn't reported to the governmentb. investment; decreases; no overall change
Explanation:
a. GDP only measures goods that have monetary value so when a good cannot be properly quantified in terms of cash, it is difficult to account for it in GDP. Also, even if the good has monetary value for the Government was unaware of it, they will be unable to use it in the calculation of GDP.
For these reasons, the quality of goods available to consumers, the costs of air and water pollution and the value of babysitting services, when the babysitter is paid in cash and the transaction isn't reported to the government will not be a part of GDP calculation.
b. When a U.S. company purchases and imports wood from Brazil to use to build new houses within the United States, this purchase increases the investment component of GDP while also decreasing net exports by the same amount. Therefore, the purchase of wood from Brazil causes no overall change in US GDP.
Purchasing raw materials for use in production is considered Investment by GDP. However, since it was imported it will reduce Net Exports which means that the transaction would cancel itself out in the GDP calculation as it would both increase investment and decrease Net exports by the same amounts.
If Rina's boss is interested in a graphical representation of the relationship between the price and quantity of televisions demanded, you would advise your coworker to construct _________ using the data provided. However, if Rina's boss is more interested in the detailed numbers used to construct this visual representation, you would instead advise your coworker that ________ would be more appropriate.
Answer: a demand curve
Demand schedule
Explanation:
If Rina's boss is interested in a graphical representation of the relationship between the price and quantity of televisions demanded, you would advise your coworker to construct "a demand curve" using the data provided.
It should be noted that a demand curve is simply a graph that helps in showing the relationship that exists between the price of a particular good or service and the quantity that is being demanded for that particular good. In the graph, on the left vertical axis.is where the price will appear, and on the horizontal axis is where the quantity that is demanded will appear.
However, if Rina's boss is more interested in the detailed numbers used to construct this visual representation, you would instead advise your coworker that data schedule would be more appropriate.
A demand schedule is a simply a table which will help in showing how many of a particular good are being demanded at different prices.
The number of cases of merlot wine sold by the Connor Owen winery in an eight-year period is as follows:
YEAR CASES OF MERLOT WINE
2005 281
2006 367
2007 409
2008 467
2009 369
2010 511

Using an exponential smoothing model with an alpha value of 0.20, estimate the smoothed value calculated as of the end of 2012. Use the average demand for 2005 through 2007 as your initial forecast for 2008, and then smooth the forecast forward to 2012. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to the nearest whole number.)
Answer:
The forecast for the year 2012 with an alpha value of 0.20 = 366.04.
Explanation:
The first step in order to solve this question/problem is to calculate or determine the Exponentially smoothed forecast for a period of time, t using the values of average demand for 2005 through 2007, that is to say;
Exponentially smoothed forecast for a period of time, t using the values of average demand for 2005 through 2007 = [actual sales in 2005 + actual sales in 2006 + actual sales in 2007]/ 3.
Therefore, Exponentially smoothed forecast for a period of time, t using the values of average demand for 2005 through 2007 =[ 281 + 367 + 409]/3 = 1057/3 = 352.3.
Since we are asked to use the smoothed value calculated as of the end of 2012. Use the average demand for 2005 through 2007 as your initial forecast for 2008, then, we have that for 2008 the forecast = 352.3.
Therefore, the forecast from the year 2009 through to the year 2012 can be calculated as given below;
The forecast for the year 2009 with an alpha value of 0.20 = 0.2 × 467 + [1 - 0.2] × 352.3 = 375.24.
The forecast for the year 2010 with an alpha value of 0.20 = 0.2 × 369 + [1 - 0.2] × 352.3 = 355.64.
The forecast for the year 2011 with an alpha value of 0.20 = 0.2 × 511 + [1 - 0.2] × 352.3 = 384.04.
The forecast for the year 2012 with an alpha value of 0.20 = 0.2 × 421 + [1 - 0.2] × 352.3 = 366.04.
A company will pay a $2 per share dividend in 1 year. The dividend in 2 years will be $4 per share, and it is expected that dividends will grow at 2% per year thereafter. The expected rate of return on the stock is 12%. a. What is the current price of the stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. What is the expected price of the stock in a year? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
(a) $ 46.43
(b) $ 50.00
Explanation:
In 1 year the dividend is:
D1 = $2
In 2 years, the dividend is:
D2 = $4
(a)
Now,
⇒ [tex]D3=D2\times (1+g)[/tex]
[tex]=4\times (1+4 \ percent)[/tex]
[tex]=4.16[/tex] ($)
In 2 years, the price will be:
⇒ [tex]P2=\frac{D3}{(r-g)}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{4.16}{12 -14}[/tex]
[tex]=52.00[/tex] ($)
Today's price will be:
⇒ [tex]P0=\frac{D1}{(r-g)}+\frac{D2+P2}{(1+r)^2}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{2}{1.12}+\frac{(4+52) }{1.12^2}[/tex]
[tex]=46.43[/tex] ($)
(b)
In 1 year, the price will be:
⇒ [tex]P1=\frac{(D2+P2)}{(1+r)}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{4+52}{1.12}[/tex]
[tex]=50.00[/tex] ($)
How can social media endanger the safety of military service members and journalists?
Hackers may install spyware on government computers.
GPS technology may accidentally leak confidential information about location.
Communicating with friends and family while overseas leads to danger.
Terrorist groups may use social media to recruit new members.
Answer:
"GPS technology may accidentally leak confidential information about the location."
Explanation:
A good case in point was a watch tracking service that leaked classified GPS coordinates of our military servicemen and women's location. It jeopardized our ability to effectively operate in a foreign land without notice of occupied territory.
In this question, it places our military and journalists at risk because they know where they are at and so forth.
Jim wants to start his own business and needs $10,000 for working capital. He applies for a business loan at FirstBank. The banker tells Jim that the Bank will make the loan if Jim's father will personally guarantee repayment of the loan. Jim assures the banker that his father will do this. The banker calls Jim's father to confirm that he will guarantee Jim's $10,000 loan. Jim's father says: "Sure thing, I'd do anything for that boy." The bank makes the loan to Jim. Jim's new business is not successful and Jim is unable to repay the loan. Jim has no money. Jim's father has buckets of money. The bank sues Jim's father to recover the unpaid amount of the loan plus interest plus attorneys' fees and costs of collecting the debt.
Which of the following is true?
A. Jim's father can make a strong argument that he is not liable to pay his son's debt because the Bank did not have him sign a written guaranty agreement.
B.The oral agreement to guaranty the loan is not enforceable because it is contrary to public policy.
C.Jim’s father is liable to pay his son’s debt because the Bank partially performed under the loan agreement.
D.If it can be proven in a court of law that Jim's father orally agreed to guarantee the loan, Jim's father will be held liable for the repayment of the loanbecause 'a deal is a deal'.
Answer:
D. If it can be proven in a court of law that Jim's father orally agreed to guarantee the loan, Jim's father will be held liable for the repayment of the loan because 'a deal is a deal'.
Explanation:
In this case, an offer was made by the bank to Jim with his father as a third party, of which his father agreed to the terms and conditions of the loan through an oral channel. An oral channel is an acceptable means of communication of agreement. It could be through a phone call or fax. So, a contract has been consented to by Jim's father.
Jim's father is thus liable for the repayment of the loan.

Southwest Airlines is able to keep fares low, in part because of relatively low maintenance costs on its airplanes. One of the main reasons for the low maintenance costs is that Southwest flies only one type of aircraft: the Boeing 737. However, Southwest flies three different versions of the 737. Suppose Southwest decides to conduct a study to determine whether there is a significant difference in the average annual maintenance costs for the three types of 737s used. a. State a measurable dependent variable for such a study. b. State a factor that might affect the independent variable, and list at least three levels.
:
.
Explanation:
the reason maintenance cost are low is because the airline has just one type of aircraft which is boeing 737.
a. the measurable dependent variable for the study is the fares of the southwast airlines.
b. a factor that might affect the independent variable is the three versions that are being used by the southwest airlines. the independent variable here is the maintenance cost of the airlines. the factor has 3 different levels which are boeing -700, -800, -900ER
