During December, Krause Chemical Company had the following selected data concerning the manufacture of Xyzine, an industrial cleaner: Production Flow Physical Units
Completed and transferred to the next department 100
Add: Ending work in process inventory 10(40% complete as to conversion)
Total units to account for 110
Less: Beginning work in process Inventory 20(60% complete as to conversion)
Units started during 90

All materials are added at the beginning of processing in this department, and conversion costs are added uniformly during the process. The beginning work in process inventory had $120 of raw materials and $180 of conversion costs incurred. Materials added during December were $540, and conversion costs of $1,484 were incurred. Krause uses the first-in, first-out (FIFO) process cost method. The equivalent units of production used to compute conversion costs for December were:

a. 110 units.
b. 104 units.
c. 100 units.
d. 92 units.

Acompany using the perpetual inventory system purchased inventory worth $540,000 on account with credit terms of 2/15, n/45. defective inventory of $40,000 was returned 2 days later, and the accounts were appropriately adjusted. if the company paid the invoice 20 days later, the journal entry to record the payment would be

Suppose you win a small lottery and have the choice of two ways to be paid: you can accept the money in a lump sum or in a series of payments over time. if you pick the lump sum, you get $2,950 today. if you pick payments over time, you get three payments: $1,000 today, $1,000 1 year from today, and $1,000 2 years from today. 1) at an interest rate of 6% per year, the winner would be better off accepting the (lump sum / payments over time), since it has the greater present value. 2) at an interest rate of 9% per year, the winner would be better off accepting the (lump sum / payments over time), since it has the greater present value. 3) years after you win the lottery, a friend in another country calls to ask your advice. by wild coincidence, she has just won another lottery with the same payout schemes. she must make a quick decision about whether to collect her money under the lump sum or the payments over time. what is the best advice to give your friend? a) the lump sum is always better. b) the payments over time are always better. c) it will depend on the interest rate; advise her to get a calculator. d) none of these answers is good advice.

There are three factors that can affect the shape of the treasury yield curve (r* t , ip t , and mrp t ) and five factors that can affect the shape of the corporate yield curve (r* t , ip t , mrp t , drp t , and lp t ). the yield curve reflects the aggregation of the impacts from these factors. suppose the real risk-free rate and inflation rate are expected to remain at their current levels throughout the foreseeable future. consider all factors that affect the yield curve. then identify which of the following shapes that the us treasury yield curve can take. check all that apply.a. downward-sloping yield curveb. upward-sloping yield curvec. inverted yield curve
