Answer:
$48,200
Explanation:
Given:
Selling price of home = $140,000
Acquisition price = $45,000
Closing cost = $2,000
Cost of fireplace and family room = $35,000
Real estate commission = 0.07 × 140,000 = $9,800
Total adjusted basis = 45,000 + 2,000 + 35,000 + 9,800
= $91,800
Taxable gain = Selling price - adjusted basis
= 140,000 - 91,800

A cabinet shop produces and installs cabinets. Business is good, and the shop has an unlimited number of customers willing to pay $100 for each cabinet in- stalled. However, for the next month, the shop has only 1750 hr of labor and 1032 units of wood that it can commit for cabinet production. Each installed cabinet requires 5 hr of labor, 3 units of wood, and one frame. The frames can be prepared in the shop before installation, with each frame requiring 2 hr of the shop's labor and 1 unit of its wood, or they can be bought ready for instal- lation from the local mill for $27 each. The shop pays $6/hr for labor, $5/unit for wood, and only pays for the labor and wood used. For the next month, how many cabinets should the shop install, and how should the necessary frames be generated so that net income is maximized?
Answer:
He should install 344 cabinets and the frames should be bought for installation from the local mill
Explanation:
Time available for labor = 1750 hr, number of woods available = 1032 units
Requirement for each cabinet installed
5 hr labor, 3 units of wood and 1 frame
Number of cabinets that can be produced is 344
Total expenditure for 344 installed cabinets = (1720 hr of labor×$6) + (1032 units of wood × $5) + (344 frames × $27) = $10,320+$5,160+$9,288 = $24,768
Revenue = 344 × $100 = $34,400
Net income = $34,000 - $24,768 = $9,632
An observer may conclude that the organizational culture of Zappos, an online retailer for shoes and clothing, might be the basis for its competitive advantage. However, reverse social engineering to crack Zappos' code of success might be much more difficult for a company trying to exactly imitate its strategy. Thus, the source of Zappos competitive advantage is said to be ___________.a. non-ambiguous
b. socially complex
c. inexhaustible
d. non-substitutable
Answer:
b. socially complex
Explanation:
When competitive advantage are based on such the source is said to be "socially complex". That is the ability for a firm to imitate another firm because of its resources and capabilities and this advantage might not yield positively in the long run.
Answer:
B) socially complex
Explanation:
When something is said to be socially complex, it means that it involves several aspects of human existence or in this case, corporate existence. As humans we deal with different phenomena in our cultures, e.g. immigration, conflicts, political movements, unions between individuals (formerly marriages), etc.
A socially complex organization has a strong and unique organizational culture, well defined and efficient leadership and strong interpersonal relationships between the internal actors (employees and management) and also with external actors (customers and their relationship with the organization).
That is why Zappo's organizational model is so hard to copy since you cannot replicate an organization's culture, you can only try to imitate it but the results may not necessarily be positive. What works for a society might not work for another, and the same applies to different companies.

Hat's accounting records showed the following:
Inventory, January1 $35,000
Purchases, January 1 through May 1 200,000
Sales, January 1 through May 1 250,000
Inventory not damaged by flood 30,000
Gross profit percentage on sales 40%
What amount of inventory was lost in the flood?
A. $150,000
B. $85,000
C. $105,000
D. $55,000
Answer:
D. $55,000
Explanation:
Sales = 250,000
Gross Profit = 250,000 x 40% = 100,000
Cost of goods sold = 250,000 - 100,000 = 150,000
Cost of good sold = Opening Inventory + Purchases - Closing Inventory
150,000 = 35,000 + 200,000 - Closing Inventory
150,000 = 235,000 - Closing Inventory
Closing Inventory = 235,000 - 150,000
Closing Inventory = 85,000
Inventory damaged by flood = 85,000 - 30,000 = 55,000

Some companies cross-list their shares, meaning that their stock trades on more than one stock exchange. For example, BlackBerry Limited, the maker of BlackBerry mobile devices, trades on both the Toronto Stock Exchange and NASDAQ. If its price in Toronto is 59 Canadian dollars per share and anyone can exchange Canadian dollars for U.S. dollars at the rate of US$ 0.93 per C$ 1.00, what must BBRY's price be on NASDAQ?
Answer:
US$55
Explanation:
An exchange rate is the value of the currency of one country compared to the currency of another country.
In this question, the currency of the US, US dollar, is being compared to the currency of Canada, Canadian dollar. This can be mathematically stated as follows:
USD $/C$ = 0.93/1 ............................................. (1)
Equations implies that Canadian dollars can be exchnaged for U.S. dollars at the rate of US$0.93 per C$1.00.
To calculate the BlackBerry Limited's price on NASDAQ, we simply multiply the its price of C$59 on the Toronto Stock Exchange by the exchange rate of 0.93/1 as follows:
BlackBerry Limited's price on NASDAQ = 59 × (0.93/1)
= 59 × (0.93 ÷ 1)
= 59 × 0.93
= US$54.87
Therefore, BlackBerry Limited's share price on NASDAQ is approximately US$55.

Kevin had $6,270 in his savings account at the beginning of this year. This amount includes both the $6,000 he originally invested at the beginning of last year plus the $270 he earned in interest last year. This year, Kevin earned a total of $282.15 in interest even though the interest rate on the account remained constant. This $282.15 is best described as:A. simple interest.
B. interest on interest.
C. discounted interest.
D. complex interest.
E. compound interest.
Answer:
C. discounted interest
Explanation:
Compound interest increases every year, unlike simple interest, which remains constant. The reason why compound interest amount increase is because the interest earned also earns interest. The term compounding refers to adding interest earned to the principal amount. This makes the interest gained in the subsequent period higher as it will be based on a larger principal amount.
Kevin earned a higher interest in the second year because his principal amount increased in the second year. The interest he earned in the second year was added to the principal amount of $6000. He must have a compound earning interest account
Many states have appointed or elected commissions that oversee the business practices of utilities and other industries that serve the public interest. For a company operating in one of these industries, dealing with this important state-level regulatory commission is an important element of the:
A. legal environment.
B. social environment.
C. monopoly environment.
D. technological environment.
E. corporate environment.
Final answer:
A company in a regulated industry, such as utilities, deals with state-level regulatory commissions as part of its legal environment, ensuring compliance with public interest regulations and monopoly management.

These regulatory commissions ensure the company abides by laws and regulations designed to protect public interests, regulate monopoly powers, and often, manage businesses that are subject to economies of scale. Dealing with these commissions, therefore, becomes vital, as it affects legal operations like requesting rate increases, justifying business practices, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards set by the government.
A title for goods obtained by a seller through fraud, impersonation, or a dishonored check is referred to as a(n. ________.
Answer:
voidable title
Explanation:
A voidable title is considered good and valid title until voided.
For example, I purchase a PS4 from my nephew who is a minor and I sell it to my neighbor, and my neighbor purchased it on good faith. My nephew can decide to void the contract because he was a minor, but since I passed good title to my neighbor while the contract was valid, my neighbor doesn't have to return the PS4.
The difference with a void title is that a void title was never good and valid.
On the other hand, if I had stolen the PS4, I would never have good title over it, and I sell it to my neighbor. The rightful owner of the PS4 can claim it back and my neighbor must return it because the contract was void since I never had good title on the PS4.
