Workers do not like to work in a lean production environment because there are fewer opportunities for an employee to advancement within the company. Pursuant to a leaner production line, more workers become stress due to higher levels of responsibility.
Explanation:
Mortgage originators issued mortgages to home buyers and sold these mortgages to securitizing firms. These firms bundled these mortgages into pools and created securities that were backed by the mortgage payments. A portion of these pools were called tranches. Groups of tranches were further combined and then divided again into more complex securities called collateralized debt obligations (CDOs). These securities were redivided and recombined to create even more complex securities called CDOs-squared.
This process had important implications: (1) The total risk embedded in the mortgages did not change; (2) since the risk was spread amongst several CDOs, it was difficult to assess the risk in each CDO; and (3) during the process of securitization and resecuritization, financial institutions earned fees and were thus encouraged to continue this process.
These securities were sold to investors across the world. If all went well, home buyers would make their payments and investors would earn their returns. However, a series of mortgage defaults led to the meltdown. Investors who were the indirect lenders to the home buyers didn't receive the expected cash flows, and on top of that, financial institutions skimmed fees during the process.
A. Mortgages were accessible for borrowers who did not meet income and minimum down payment requirements. Moreover, the Fed kept interest rates really low to prevent a recession. This led to a decrease in the demand for homes and a further decline in housing prices.
B. The total amount of risk embedded in the securities created by bundling mortgages did not change. The securitization and resecuritization processes led to a distribution of total risk among different types of collateralized securities.
C. Mortgage payments based on short-term interest rates-called adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs)—were preferred by subprime borrowers.
D. Rating agencies, such as Moody's and Standard & Poor's, earned fees from securitizing agencies for providing ratings for CDOs. The securitizing agencies were looking for higher ratings for their CDOs, and the rating agencies were earning fees. This led to a conflict of interest; thus, ratings did not reflect the true risk involved in the CDOs, which were backed by mortgages.
Factors that caused the financial crisis
Analysts and theorists have debated over the different factors that caused the subprime mortgage meltdown. According to your understanding of the crisis, which of the following factors led to the financial crisis?
A. Real estate appraisers and rating agencies were lax.
B. Regulations were relaxed, leading to non-qualifying mortgages getting approved for loans.
C. Investors were fully aware of the risks involved, yet still settled with low returns.
D. Home buyers opted for traditional fixed-rate mortgages to avoid any payment delinquency.
Answer:
B. Regulations were relaxed, leading to non-qualifying mortgages getting approved for loans.
Explanation:
Hedge funds, banks, and insurance companies were instrumental to the subprime mortgage meltdown while regulators looked the other way. They were given free rein to construct so many complex securities which somehow contributed to the mortgage defaults with financial institutions skimming fees during the securitization processes, and mortgages were made accessible for borrowers who did not meet the income and minimum down payment requirements.
Compute and select the correct common-size percent for each account title.Total Assets is $700,000 Accounts Payable is $75,000 Bonds Payable is $225,000 Common Stock is $300,000 Retained Earnings is $100,000
Answer and Explanation:
The computation for each corrected common-size percent for each account is shown below:
Particulars Amount Percentage
Total assets $700,000 100%
Accounts payable $75,000 10.71%
($75,000 ÷ $700,000)
Bonds payable $225,000 32.14%
($225,000 ÷ $700,000)
Common stock $300,000 42.86%
($300,000 ÷ $700,000)
Retained earnings $100,000 14.29%
($100,000 ÷ $700,000)
Therefore each one of assetm liabilities and stockholder equity is presented as a percentage of total assets and the same is to be considered
Sweeten Company had no jobs in progress at the beginning of March and no beginning inventories. The company has two manufacturing departments--Molding and Fabrication. It started, completed, and sold only two jobs during March-Job P and Job Q. The following additional information is available for the company as a whole and for Jobs P and Q (all data and questions relate to the month of March): Molding Fabrication Total Estimated total machine-hours used 2,500 1,500 $ 4000Estimated total fixed 15,000 $10,000 25000manufacturing overhead Estimated variable manufacturing 1.40 2.20overhead per machine-hour Job P Job Q Direct materials $13,000 $8,000 Direct labor cost $21,000 $7,500 Actual machine-hours used: 1,700 800Molding Fabrication 600 900 Total 2,300 1,700 Sweeten Company had no underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead costs during the month. Required:If Job Q included 30 units, what was its unit product cost? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to nearest whole dollar.)
Answer:
Job Q's unit cost = $1,026.67
Explanation:
Job Q
actual machine hours used
molding 800:
allocated fixed overhead = (800/2,500) x $10,000 = $3,200
variable overhead = 800 x $1.40 = $1,120
sub-total = $4,320
fabrication 900:
allocated fixed overhead = (900/1,500) x $15,000 = $9,000
variable overhead = 900 x $2.20 = $1,980
sub-total = $$10,980
total overhead = $15,300
direct labor = $7,500
direct materials = $8,000
total costs for Job Q = $30,800
Job Q's unit cost = $30,800 / 30 units = $1,026.67

McDonald’s pressed on with the strategic plan of offering all-day breakfast in spite of initial struggles because strategic decisions require long-term commitment.a. Trueb. False
Answer: True
Explanation:
Strategic decisions do indeed take long-term commitment because they are meant to help the company in the long term not the short.
Strategic decisions usually set goals and achieve results in the long term. They are not expected to yield results in the short terms which is why MacDonald's pressed on with the all-day breakfast despite initial challenges.
What was the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job P? (Do not round intermediate calculations.) Total manufacturing cost_________.
Answer:
$52,285
Explanation:
The computation of the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job P is shown below:-
Total manufacturing cost = Direct material + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead applied
= $13,000 + $21,000 + (2,300 × $7.95)
= $13,000 + $21,000 + $18,285
= $52,285
Therefore for computing the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job P we simply applied the above formula.
In the following examples, state how you would use the principle of marginal analysis to make a decision.
a. Deciding how many days to wait before doing your laundry
b. Deciding how much library research to do before writing your term paper
c. Deciding how many bags of chips to eat
d. Deciding how many lectures of a class to skip
Answer:
Human beings make decisions at the margin which means that they make decisions depending on if the marginal benefits outweigh the marginal cost.
a. Deciding how many days to wait before doing your laundry.
Here the marginal benefit of waiting before you do your laundry is that you will have extra time to do other things you want to do. The marginal cost however would be that you will keep having less and less clothes to be able to choose from. Therefore the amount of time that you will take before doing your laundry depends on whether you value your free time over the amount of clothes you have to choose from.
b. Deciding how much library research to do before writing your term paper.
The marginal benefit here would be that if you use a lot of research your work will be more in-depth as you will find more information ( past or present) that will help you do the research. The marginal cost however is that you will have less time to do other things such as going to classes. Your decision would depend on if you think the research is more important than time for those other things or vice versa.
c. Deciding how many bags of chips to eat
Marginal benefit would be satiating your hunger. Marginal cost would be the calories you might gain as well as the cost of the chips. You will make a decision depending on if you believe the hunger being satiated is more beneficial than the calories gained and the money spent.
d. Deciding how many lectures of a class to skip
Like the first decision, the marginal benefit here would be the extra time you would gain to do other things. The marginal cost however, would be the risk of falling behind on material. Your decision will depend on if you value your extra time more than falling behind. If you do, you will miss more lectures. If you don't you will miss less lectures.

Answer:ungesoma bana
Explanation:
Wims, Inc., has sales of $18.4 million, total assets of $13.4 million and total debt of $4.2 million. The profit margin is 12 percent. a. What is the company's net income? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to the nearest whole number, e.g., 1,234,567.) b. What is the company's ROA? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) c. What is the company's ROE? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
(A) $2,208,000
(B) 16.48%
(C) 24%
Explanation:
Wims incorporation has a sales of $18.4 million
Total assets of $13.4 million and total debt of $4.2 million
The profit margin is 12%
(A) The net income can be calculated as follows
= profit margin × sales
= 12/100 × 18,400,000
= 0.12 × 18,400,000
= $2,208,000
(B) The ROA can be calculated as follows
= Net income/Average assets × 100
= 2,208,000/ 13,400,000
= 0.16477 ×100
= 16.48%
(C) The ROE can be calculated as follows
= Net income / Total equity
Total equity= 13,400,000-4,200,000
= $9,200,000
= $2,208,000/9,200,000 × 100
= 0.24 × 100
= 24%
An asset source transaction increases a business's assets and the claims to assets.a) trueb) false
Answer: True
Explanation:
An Asset source transaction is one where a company gains an asset by using funds from equity, liabilities or earnings from business operations (which is still equity).
As a result of such a transaction, the company gains an asset but as the asset was financed by liabilities or equity, the claims on assets increases as the holders of these liabilities and equity now have more interest in the company.

For example, ending inventory at the end of October should be equal to forecasted raw materials needs for November production plus forecasted raw materials needs for December production.Five pounds of raw materials are needed in the production of one finished unit.Forecasted PRODUCTION for the months October, Year 1 through December, Year 1 is as follows.October 4,500 unitsNovember 6,000 units December 2,000 unitsWhat is the amount of budgeted RAW MATERIALS PURCHASES for October?A- 40,000 poundsB- 52,500 poundsC- 57,500 poundsD- 62,500 poundsE- 67,500 pounds
Answer:
Purchases= 57,500 pounds
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning inventory= 5,000 pounds
Production:
October= 4,500 units
November= 6,000 units
December= 2,000 units
Each unit requires 5 pounds of direct materials.
To calculate the purchase of direct material required, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Desired ending inventory= 6,000*5 + 2,000*5= 40,000 pounds
Purchases= 4,500*5 + 40,000 - 5,000
Purchases= 57,500 pounds

Given the situation of a simultaneous decrease in demand and increase in supply, what is the net effect on equilibrium price?
a) Equilibrium price will always go up
b) Equilibrium price will always go down
c) Equilibrium price could go up or down
Answer:
b) Equilibrium price will always go down
Explanation:
Remember, the equilibrium price refers to the price where the quantity demanded is equal to the quantity supplied.
Thus, given the situation of a simultaneous decrease in demand and increase in supply note that;
1. A decrease in demand will result in a reduction in the equilibrium price (let's say of apples) because with less demand there will be an excess in supply.
2. An increase in supply will cause a reduction in the equilibrium price of apples because there will be an excess supply of apples at the initial price.
