In this activity, you’ll research incidents in which employers disciplined employees for not using social media responsibly. You’ll study why employers disciplined these employees and how company social media policies influenced the action taken against them. You’ll also create a list of five social media usage rules that you think all workers must follow. Finally, you’ll write about how you’ll avoid risky behaviors when using social media. Part A Conduct an Internet search and research at least three instances in which employers disciplined (or fired) employees (who were not at work during the time of posting) for an inappropriate social media posting. Briefly discuss the three instances and explain why the employer fired or punished the employee and how the social media post was inappropriate.

The projected capital budget of Kandell Corporation is $500,000, its target capital structure is 60% debt and 40% equity, and its forecasted net income is $500,000. If the company follows a residual dividend policy, what total dividends, if any, will it pay out

Answers

Answer:

the  total dividend pay out in the case when the residual dividend policy followed is $300,000

Explanation:

The computation of the total dividend pay out is given below:

= Net income - (equity × capital budget)

= $500,000 - (0.40 × $500,000)

= $500,000 - $200,000

= $300,000

Hence, the  total dividend pay out in the case when the residual dividend policy followed is $300,000

Consider the baggage check-in process of a small airline. Check-in data indicates that from 9am to 10am, 190 passengers checked in. Moreover, based on counting the number of passengers waiting in line, airport management found that the average number of passengers waiting for check-in was 56.

Required:
How long did the average passenger have to wait in line?

Answers

Answer:

17.68 minutes

Explanation:i

In order to calculate the average time passenger had to wait in line, we would first divide the average number of passengers check-in in with the passengers checked in from 9 am to 10 am (which was the highest number of check-ins of the day). Then we would multiply that number by 60 minutes. As shown below:

First,

= 56 average number of passengers checked-in / 190 passengers checked-in from 9 to 10 am

= 0.2947

Then

= 0.2947 x 60 minutes

= 17.68 minutes

Hence, 17.68 minutes did the average passenger wait in line.

Calculate gross profit for the following situation: National Storage Company had sales of $1,000,000, sales discounts of $2,500, sales returns and allowances of $15,000, and a cost of goods sold of $525,000.

Answers

Answer:

$475,500

Explanation:

Sales is $1,000The discountscount is $2500

Sales return and allowances are $15,000

The cost of goods sold is $525,000

Therefore the gross profit can be calculated as follows

= 1,000,000-2,500-15,000-525,000

= 457,500

Hence the gross profit is $475,500

K Company estimates that overhead costs for the next year will be $2,967,000 for indirect labor and $860,000 for factory utilities. The company uses direct labor hours as its overhead allocation base. If 86,000 direct labor hours are planned for this next year, how much overhead would be assigned to a product requiring 6 direct labor hours

Answers

Answer:

$267.00

Explanation:

First and foremost, it should be borne in mind that the overhead per direct labor hour is the total forecast overhead costs for next year divided by the planned direct labor hours, in essence, we simply determine plantwide overhead allocation rate, which is the basis for determining the amount of direct to be assigned to 6 direct labor hours

plantwide overhead allocation rate=(indirect labor overhead+factory utilities)/planned direct labor

indirect labor overhead cost=$2,967,000

factory utilities=$860,000

planned direct labor hours=86,000

plantwide overhead allocation rate=($2,967,000+$860,000)/86000

plantwide overhead allocation rate=$44.50

overhead allocation to a product requiring 6 direct labor hours=6*$44.50

overhead allocation to a product requiring 6 direct labor hours=$267.00

g A company has beginning inventory of 16 units at a cost of $24 each on February 1. On February 3, it purchases 34 units at $26 each. 22 units are sold on February 5. Using the FIFO periodic inventory method, what is the cost of the 22 units that are sold

Answers

Answer:

$188

Explanation:

FIFO method assumes that the units to arrive first will be sold first. Hence the cost of sales will be valued using the prices of earlier or older units.

Cost of Sales = 16 units x $24  + 6 units x $26

                      = $188

Thus,  the cost of the 22 units that are sold is $188.

Which of the following statements accurately describe the effect of the increase in government borrowing?

a. National saving decreases by less than $20 billion.
b. Investment increases by less than $20 billion.
c. Public saving decreases by exactly $20 billion.
d. Private saving increases by less than $20 billion.

Answers

Answer:

d. Private saving increases by less than $20 billion.

Explanation:

Because the interest rate has increased, investment and national saving decline and private saving increases. The increase in government borrowing reduces public saving. From the figure you can see that total loanable funds (and thus both investment and national saving) decline by less than $20 billion, while public saving declines by $20 billion and private saving rises by less than $20 billion.

The records of Pippins, Inc., included the following information: Net sales $ 1,000,000 Gross margin 475,000 Interest expense 50,000 Income tax expense 80,000 Net income 240,000 Compute the times interest earned ratio, rounded to the nearest decimal.

Answers

Answer:

the times interest earned ratio is 7.4 times

Explanation:

The computation of the times interest earned ratio is given below/;

Times interest earned ratio is

= EBIT ÷ interest expense

where

EBIT = Net Income + Interest Expense + Income tax Expense

= 240,000 + 50,000 + 80,000

= 370,000

Now the times interest earned ratio is

= $370,000 ÷ $50,000

= 7.4 times

Hence, the times interest earned ratio is 7.4 times

A bond has a coupon rate of 8% and matures in 10 years. What are its expected cash flows if this bonds have a principal amount of $1000 and pay interest semi-annually

Answers

Answer:

$1080

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the expected cash flows

Since the bonds have a principal amount of the amount of $1000 first step is to calculate the Cash flow CO1

CO1=$1000(.08)/2

CO1=$80/2

CO1= $40

Second step is to calculate the Frequency of PMT

Frequency of PMT= 10 years x 2 (semi-anually)

Frequency of PMT= 20

Now let determine the Cash Flow CO10

Cash Flow CO10=1000+80

Cash Flow CO10=$1080

Therefore the expected cash flows is $1080

A loan officer states, "Thousands of dollars can be saved by switching to a 15-year mortgage from a 30-year mortgage." Calculate the difference in payments on a 30-year mortgage at an interest rate of .75% a month versus a 15-year mortgage with an interest rate of .7% a month. Both mortgages are for $100,000 and have monthly payments. What is the difference in total dollars that will be paid to the lender under each loan?

Answers

Answer:

$113,465

Explanation:

Calculation to determine difference in total dollars that will be paid to the lender under each loan

First step is to Calculate the difference in payments on a 30-year mortgage at an interest rate of .75% a month

$100,000 = PMT([1 / (0.0075)] − 1 / {(0.0075)[(1.0075)]^30 × 12})

PMT = $804.62

Second step is to Calculate the difference in payments on a 15-year mortgage at an interest rate of .7% a month

$100,000 = PMT([1 / (0.007)] − 1 / {(0.007 )[ 1.007)]^15 × 12})

PMT = $ 978.87

Now let determine the Total difference

Total difference = ($804.62 × 12 × 30) − ($978.87 × 12 × 15)

Total difference= $113,465

Therefore difference in total dollars that will be paid to the lender under each loan is $113,465
