= $28 per lawn
We also need to compute the contribution margin ratio
= Sales per unit - Variable cost per unit / Sales per unit
= (70 - 28) / 70
= 0.6
= 60%
Therefore;

At July 31, Farmer Company has this bank information: cash balance per bank $8,344; outstanding checks $804; deposits in transit $1,383; and a bank service charge $58.
Determine the adjusted cash balance per bank at July 31.
The adjusted cash balance per bank at July 31:___________.
Answer:
The adjusted balance per bank is $8923
Explanation:
Adjusted cash balance per bank
Cash balance per bank (unadjusted) 8344
(+) Deposits in transit 1383
(-) Outstanding checks (804)
Cash balance per bank (adjusted) 8923
The adjusted cash balance per bank is calculated by adjusting the transactions that do not appear on the current bank statement.
The deposits in transit is the amount of cash deposited in the bank, that will increase the bank balance, which is still in process and has not been added to the bank account as of now. Thus, we will add this amount to calculate the adjusted bank balance.
The outstanding checks amount is the amount of checks that have been issued by the business but which are yet to be presented by the recipients of checks and will result in a reduction in the bank balance. Thus, we deduct them to calculate the adjusted balance.
The bank charge is deducted by the bank itself thus we assume that it has already been deducted. So, no adjustment is made for this.

Bogart Company is considering two alternatives. Alternative A will have revenues of $147,400 and costs of $103,400. Alternative B will have revenues of $188,200 and costs of $121,600. Compare Alternative A to Alternative B showing incremental revenues, costs, and net income.
Answer:
B is better than A
Explanation:
Here, we want to compare “A” to “B”. It means if B’s amount is higher than A’s amount, it should be positive; If B’s amount is lower than A’s amount, it should be negative.
Net income for each alternative = Revenues – Costs
Since the net income is positive, B is better than A.

Consider a fast food café of your choice. Apply 4 V’s of Operation. Describe each V as ‘High’, ‘Low’ or ‘Moderate’ with one liner reason.
Answer:
4 V's of Operation
The 4 V's of operation are Volume, Variety, Variation, and Visibility. Let us take Mrs. Happy Food Cafe with over 100 outlets in Fiacton Town, as an example to illustrate the 4 V's of operation.
Volume: As a food cafe, the volume of production that will be required for some foods and drinks is so high that their provision requires repetitive tasks. Based on this, procedures are normally standardized in order to achieve low cost for foods and drinks. However, it is harder to standardize services, since personal touches are added by the servers based on their individual perceptions and abilities.
Variety: Mrs. Happy Food Cafe tries to bring some variety in her offerings to satisfy the various needs of her customers. While variety is naturally low in the Food Cafe sector, some cafes like Mrs. Happy Good Cafe, try to satisfy customers' demands by varying the foods with Continental, African, Latino cuisines and dishes.
Variation: At Mrs Happy Food cafes, the food and drinks do not vary much as customers expect to be served the same quality of services at any of their cafes. This is because the processes are standardized to achieve low cost. So, the variation is moderate.
Visibility: Customers of Mrs Happy Food cafes are not able to see and track their experiences of the the processes for the food preparation that they order. But, they can track the processes for the services because services are consumed as they are offered. So, visibility is 'Moderate," as it is divided between the hard goods and the soft goods. With respect to goods visibility is 'Low.' However, with respect to the services the customers' visibility of processes is high.
Explanation:
The 4 V's of operation describe the different characteristics of the processes that various entities use to transform their inputs into outputs of goods and services. They may be high, low, or moderate. They include, volume, variety, variation, and visibility.
Scenario 9-1 For a small country called Boxland, the equation of the domestic demand curve for cardboard is Q D = 200 − 2P , where Q D represents the domestic quantity of cardboard demanded, in tons, and P represents the price of a ton of cardboard. For Boxland, the equation of the domestic supply curve for cardboard is Q S = -60 + 3P , where Q S represents the domestic quantity of cardboard supplied, in tons, and P again represents the price of a ton of cardboard. Refer to Scenario 9-1. Suppose the world price of cardboard is $45. Then, relative to the no-trade situation, international trade in cardboard a. benefits Boxlandian consumers by $672 and harms Boxlandian producers by $598.50. b. benefits Boxlandian consumers by $721 and harms Boxlandian producers by $598.50. c. harms Boxlandian consumers by $336 and harms Boxlandian producers by $525.00. d. benefits Boxlandian consumers by $721 and harms Boxlandian producers by $525.00.
Answer: a. benefits Boxlandian consumers by $672 and harms Boxlandian producers by $598.50.
Explanation:
Equilibrium price will be at level where quantity demanded equals quantity supplied.
200 − 2P = -60 + 3P
200+60 = 5P
5P = 260
P = $52
Equilibrium Quantity Demanded = 200 − 2P = 200 - 2 * 52 = 96 units
In a no-trade situation the demand in Boxland is 96 units at a price of $52. If they were to buy at the world price of $45, they would benefit;
= (96 * 52) - (96 * 45)
= 4,992 - 4,320
= $672
Producers however would produce the following at a price of $45;
Q S = -60 + 3P
= -60 + 3(45)
= 75 units
They would be supplying less units and be hurt.
The purchase price of a natural gas-fired commercial boiler (capacity X) was $181,000 eight years ago. Another boiler of the same basic design, except with capacity 1.42X, is currently being considered for purchase. If it is purchased, some optional features presently costing $28,000 would be added for your application. If the cost index was 162 for this type of equipment when the capacity X boiler was purchased and is 221 now, and the applicable cost capacity factor is 0.8, what is your estimate of the purchase price for the new boiler
Answer:
$308,500.85
Explanation:
$181,000 eight years ago in real dollars was $181,000 / 162 = $111,728.40
new boiler with a 1.42X capacity x capacity factor = 1.42 x 0.8 = 1.136 (the price of the new boiler is 1.136 times the old boiler)
current price of the new boiler in real dollars = 1.136 x $111,728.40 = $126,923.46
real dollars converted to current nominal dollars = $126,923.46 x 2.21 = $280,500.85
price of the new boiler + additional optional features = $280,500.85 + $28,000 = $308,500.85
g The aggregate supply curve shifts A. rightward if the money wage rate falls. B. leftward if the aggregate demand curve shifts leftward. C. rightward if potential GDP decreases. D. leftward if potential GDP increases. E. rightward if the money wage rate rises.
Answer:
The correct option to the question above is option A "rightward if the money wage rate falls."
Explanation:
The aggregate supply curve is a graphical illustration of how the total quantity of goods and services is available for a given price and time.
When the aggregate supply curve shifts to the right, it increases. While, when the aggregate supply curve shifts to the left, it decreases.
An increase in the aggregate supply curve shows a fall in price, which makes a high price level resulting in a greater supply of real GDP.
Money wages is the amount of money paid in wages. Money wages is indirectly proportional to real wages. The aggregate supply curve decreases if the money wage rate increases and the aggregate supply curve increases when the money wage rate falls.
Aggregate supply is affected by GDP. When A GDP decreases, it also decreases aggregate supply.
A company earned $7,605 in net income for October. Its net sales for October were $19,500. Its profit margin is:
Answer: 39%

Joe wants to start an SEP-IRA that will have $460,000 in it when he retires in 15 years. How much should he invest semiannually in his IRA to do this if the interest is 15% compounded semiannually?
Answer:
$4,448.77
Explanation:
time until retirement = 15 years x 2 semiannual contributions = 30 payments
interest rate =15% / 2 = 7.5%
future value = $460,000
we can use the future value of an annuity formula:
future value = payment x annuity factor
FV annuity factor 7.5%, 30 periods = 103.3994
payment = future value / annuity factor
payment = $460,000 / 103.3994 = $4,448.77
The amount that should be invested is $4,448.77.
Calculation of the amount:Since
time until retirement = 15 years x 2
= 30 payments
And,
interest rate =15% / 2 = 7.5%
Also,
future value = $460,000
Now we can use the future value of an annuity formula:
Here,
future value = payment x annuity factor
where,
FV annuity factor 7.5%, 30 periods = 103.3994
So,
payment = future value / annuity factor
= $460,000 / 103.3994
= $4,448.77
hence, The amount that should be invested is $4,448.77.

The Park Avenue Corporation currently makes a part required in its finished product. The company uses 2,116 units of this part annually. Park Avenue Corp has been approached by a vendor to provide this part for $13.04 each. The following cost information is provided
Direct Materials per unit $6.34
Direct Labor per unit $7.30
Variable Factory Overhead per unit $2.50
Fixed Factory Overhead per unit $7.50
How much would Park Avenue Corporation save by having the vendor make the part, instead of making it themselves?
Answer:
If the company buys the part, it will save $$6,559.6
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $13.04
The company uses 2,116 units of this part annually.
Production:
Direct Materials per unit $6.34
Direct Labor per unit $7.30
Variable Factory Overhead per unit $2.50
We weren't provided with information regarding the fixed costs. I will assume that non of the fixed overhead costs are avoidable, therefore, they are irrelevant to the decision making process.
Buy:
Total cost= 2,116*13.04= $27,592.64
Production:
Total cost= 2,116*(6.34 + 7.3 + 2.5)= $34,152.24
If the company buys the part, it will save $$6,559.6
In the case when the company buys the part, it will save $6,559.6.
Calculation of the value of part:Since
Purchase price= $13.04
Direct Materials per unit $6.34
Direct Labor per unit $7.30
Variable Factory Overhead per unit $2.50
Now
For Buy:
Total cost= 2,116*13.04= $27,592.64
For Production:
Total cost= 2,116*(6.34 + 7.3 + 2.5)= $34,152.24
So, we can say that In the case when the company buys the part, it will save $6,559.6.

Consider the market for meekers in the imaginary economy of Meekertown. In the absence of international trade, the domestic price of a meeker is $23. Suppose that the world price for a meeker is $24. Assume that Meekertown is too small to influence the world price for meekers once they enter meeker the international market. If Meekertown allows free trade, then it will _______________ meeker.
When a country is too small affect the world price, allowing for free trade will always increase total surplus in that country, regardless of whether it imports or exports as a result of international trade.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
Export
true
Explanation:
Because the price of meekers in meekertown is lower than the world price for meekers, meekers from meekertown are cheaper. so if free trade is allowed, other countries would want to purchase meekers from meekertown because it is cheaper.
So, meekertown would export meekers if free trade is allowed.
When a country is too small affect the world price, allowing for free trade will always increase total surplus in that country, regardless of whether it imports or exports as a result of international trade.
this is so because if the country is efficient in production of a good (producing at a lower price when compared to the world price), export of the good would increase thus increasing producer surplus. if on the other hand, the country is inefficient in producing a good and the country allows for free trade, the country can import the good. this would increase consumer surplus.

Sager Industries is considering an investment in equipment that will replace direct labor. The equipment has a cost of $86,000 with a $7,000 residual value and a 10-year life. The equipment will replace three employees who has an average total wages of $15,810 per year. In addition, the equipment will have operating and energy costs of $4,190 per year. Determine the average rate of return on the equipment, giving effect to straight-line depreciation on the investment.
Answer:
130.77%
Explanation:
depreciation expense per year using straight method = (purchase cost - salvage value) / useful life = ($86,000 - $7,000) / 10 = $7,900
total costs = depreciation expense + operating and energy costs = $7,900 + $4,190 = $12,090
average rate of return = total savings / total costs = $15,810 / $12,090 = 1.30769 = 130.77%

A 30 year $1,000 par 4 3/4% Treasury Bond is quoted at 95-11 - 95-15. The note pays interest on Jan 1st and Jul 1st. A customer buys 1 bond at the ask price. What is the current yield, disregarding commissions
Answer:
4.98%
Explanation:
Calculation for the current yield
First step
Since the the bond was purchased at 95 +15/32nds this means that we have to find the bond percentage.
Calculated as
Bond Percentage = 95 + 15/32nds
Bond percentage =95.46875%
Second step is to multiply the bond percentage by $1,000
95.46875% *$1,000
= $954.6875
The last step is to find the current yield
Current yield=$47.50 /$954.6875

Andy views beer and pizza as complements to one another. If the price of pizza decreases, economists would expect Andy's demand for ____________.
Answer:
Andy's demand for beer will increase.
Explanation:
Andy’s demand for beer will increase because it is given that pizza and beer are complements. Therefore, there is an inverse relationship between the price of one complement goods and the number of other complement goods. Here, we can see that price of one good ( say pizza) decreases so the demand for other goods (say beer) will increase because there is an inverse relationship between these commodities.

1. Do you think that punishments deter crime? Why or why not? Do you think there is a better way to reduce crime than punishment?
Explanation:
In my honest opinion i don not think punishment deter crime, but it does to a great extent reduce the rate of crime, if actually punishment deter crime, then there will not be offenders anymore.
Another possible way to reduce crime than punishment is to place a fine for offender to pay and also place offenders on community service, in this way offenders get to move freely in the society while they get to pay a huge sum for the offence they have committed
Answer:
I really believe that punishments reduce crime, if someone has done something wrong they have to be punished because, if not, how are they going to know that what they have done is wrong? So, in this way, some criminals stop committing crimes because they see that what they have done is not good and has consequences.
Punishment is known to be a bad stimulus to reduce crime; instead, education has been much more effective, because in this way criminals learn what they can do to improve their lives.
