Answer:
Multifactor productivity MFP before buying new equipment = 0.7549 carts/dollar cost
Growth in productivity between the Prior and after buying the new equipment. = 31.49%
Explanation:
Given that:
the number of workers before buying new equipment = 5
average cart production per hour = 77
worker's wage = $11
Cost of the machine = $47
After buying the new equipment;
number of worker is now = 4 since it is possible to transfer one of their worker to another department
average cart production per hour = $(77 +4) = $81
worker's wage = $11
Cost of the machine = $(47+14) = $61
The objective of this question is to "
a. Compute the multifactor productivity(MFP) (labor plus equipment) under the Prior to buying the new equipment.
Multifactor productivity MFP= Carts produced / (Labor cost + Equipment cost)
where;
Labor Cost = (Number of workers × Worker wage)
Multifactor productivity MFP = Carts produced / ((Number of workers × Worker wage) + Equipment cost)
We are to find just only the multifactor productivity(MFP) (labor plus equipment) under the Prior to buying the new equipment.
i.e before buying the new equipment.
Multifactor productivity MFP = 77/ (5 × 11) + 47)
Multifactor productivity MFP = 77/ (55+ 47)
Multifactor productivity MFP = 77/ (102)
Multifactor productivity MFP = 77/ (102)
Multifactor productivity MFP = 0.7549 carts/dollar cost
b. Compute the % growth in productivity between the Prior and after buying the new equipment. (Round to 2 decimal places
Growth in productivity = (Labor New productivity - Labor Old productivity) / Labor Old productivity] × 100
where;
Labor Productivity = Number of carts produced per hour / Number of workers
Labor Productivity (before buying new equipment) = 77/5
Labor Productivity (before buying new equipment) = 15.4 carts/worker/hour
Labor Productivity ( after buying the new equipment) = 81/4
Labor Productivity ( after buying the new equipment) = 20.25 carts/worker/hour
Growth in productivity = (20.25 - 15.40 /15.40) × 100
Growth in productivity = (4.85 / 15.40 )× 100
Growth in productivity = 0.3149 × 100
Growth in productivity = 31.49%
The city of New Orleans has 200 advertising companies, 199 of which employ designers of normal ability at a salary of $100,000 a year. The companies that employ normal designers each collect $500,000 in revenue a year, which is just enough to ensure that each earns exactly a normal profit. The 200th company, however, employs Janus Jacobs, an unusually talented designer. Because of Jacobs's talent, this company collects $1,000,000 in revenue a year.
Required:
a. How much will Jacobs earn?
b. What proportion of his annual salary will be economic rent?
c. Will the advertising company for which Jacobs works be able to earn an economic profit?
Answer:
a. Jacob should earn= $100,000 + ($1,000,000 - $500,000)
= $100,000 + $500,000
=$600,000
Hence, Jacob earns $600,000
b. The economic rent is the amount by which payment of Jacob(600,000) exceed the reservation price of the supplier(100,000)
Thus, the economic rent = 600,000 - 100,000 = $500,000
Proportion of Economic rent = Economy rent / Salary of jacob
= $500,000 / $600,000
= 5/6
Hence, the proportion of the economic rent of Jacob is salary is 5/6
c. The advertising company will not be able to make an economic profit because if they withhold some additional revenue made because of hiring Jacob, then he will switch to another advertising company at a higher salary and that company keep on making profit. The company should bid for Jacob until firm are indifferent on paying $600,000 or hiring someone else for $100,000 . Thus, the bidding of Jacob will continue until the salary of Jacob has bid up to a level where no company can make economic profits

DIP LLC reports ordinary income (before guaranteed payments) of $120,000, rent expense of $40,000, and interest income of $4,000 for the year. In addition, DIP paid guaranteed payments to partner Percy of $20,000. If Percy owns a 40% capital and profits interest, how much income will he report for the year and what is its character?
Answer:
$24,000 ordinary income
$1,600 interest income
$20,000 guaranteed payment.
Explanation:
Calculation for what how much income will Percy report for the year and what is its character
Calculation for Percy Ordinary income: 120,000 - 40,000 - 20,000
= 60,000 x 40%
= 24,000.
Calculation for Percy Interest income:
4,000 x 40%
= 1,600
Guaranteed Payment: 20,000
Therefore what Percy will report will be: $24,000 ordinary income
$1,600 interest income
$20,000 guaranteed payment.
Which of the following is NOT an option for remedying a cost disadvantage associated with activities performed by forward channel allies (wholesale distributors and retail dealers)?
a. Change to a more economical distribution strategy such as putting more emphasis on cheaper distribution channels (perhaps direct sales via the Internet) or perhaps integrating forward into company-owned retail outlets
b. Enhance differentiation through activities such as cooperative advertising) at the forward end of the value chain
c. Pressure distributors/dealers and other forward-channel allies to reduce their costs and markups
d. Insisting on across-the-board cost cuts in all value chain activities—those performed by suppliers, those performed in- house, and those performed by distributors/dealers
e. Collaborate with forward channel allies to identify win-win opportunities to reduce costs
Answer: d. Insisting on across-the-board cost cuts in all value chain activities—those performed by suppliers, those performed in- house, and those performed by distributors/dealers
Explanation:
The cost disadvantage is from the forward channel allies and not an across the board problem which involves all value chain activities. As such, the solution should be garnered towards the forward channel allies.
Insisting on cuts in areas that could be already functioning efficiently could lead to a loss of that efficiency.
Insisting on across-the-board cost cuts in all value chain activities is therefore not an option for remedying a cost disadvantage associated with activities performed by forward channel allies.
Simon recently received a credit card with an 18% nominal interest rate. With the card, he purchased an Amazon Kindle for $350. The minimum payment on the card is only $10 per month
a. If Simon makes the minimum monthly payment and makes no other charges, how many months will it be before he pays off the card. Round to the nearest month.
b. If Simon makes monthly payment of $30, how many months will it be before he pays off the card. Round to the nearest month.
c. How much more in total payments will Simon make under the $10-a-month plan than under the $30-a-month plan? Make sure you use three decimal places for N.
Answer:
A.50 months
B.12.92 months
C.$112.38
Explanation:
a). Using this formula
PV of Annuity = Monthly Payment * [{1 - (1 + r)-n} / r]
Where,
PV of Annuity =$350
Monthly Payment =$10
r=(0.18/12)
Let plug in the formula
$350 = $10 * [{1 - (1 + 0.18/12)-n} / (0.18/12)]
$350 / $10 = {1 - (1.015)-n} / 0.015
35 * 0.015 = 1 - (1.015)-n
(1.015)-n = 1 - 0.525
-n[log(1.015)] = log(0.475)
-n[0.0149] = -0.7444
n = -0.7444 / -0.0149
n= 50 months
b). Using this formula
PV of Annuity = Monthly Payment * [{1 - (1 + r)-n} / r]
Where,
PV of Annuity =$350
Monthly Payment =$30
r=(0.18/12)
Let plug in the formula
$350 = $30 * [{1 - (1 + 0.18/12)-n} / (0.18/12)]
$350 / $30 = {1 - (1.015)-n} / 0.015
11.67 * 0.015 = 1 - (1.015)-n
(1.015)-n = 1 - 0.175
-n[log(1.015)] = log(0.825)
-n[0.0149] = -0.1924
n = -0.1924 / -0.0149 =
n=12.92 months
c). Calculation for the Total Amount Paid under $10-a-month plan
Using this formula
Total Amount Paid under $10-a-month plan = No. of Payments * Monthly Payment
Where,
No.of Payments =50
Monthly Payment=10
Let plug in the formula
Total Amount Paid under $10-a-month plan= 50 * $10 = $500
Calculation for the Total Amount Paid under $30-a-month plan
Using this formula
Total Amount Paid under $30-a-month plan = No. of Payments * Monthly Payment
Where,
No. of Payments =12.92
Monthly Payment=$30
Let plug in the formula
Total Amount Paid under $30-a-month plan= 12.92 * $30 = $387.62
Hence,
Total Amount Paid under $10-a-month plan -Total Amount Paid under $30-a-month plan
= $500 - $387.62
= $112.38
g If the Fed is concerned about a possible recession, it ________ the federal funds rate and, in response, longterm interest rates ________ by a ________ amount than the change in shortterm rates. A. lowers; increase; smaller B. lowers; decrease; smaller C. raises; decrease; larger D. raises; increase; smaller E. raises; increase; larger
Answer:
The Fed
Concern about possible recession:
E. raises; increase; larger
Explanation:
The federal funds rate is a short-term monetary policy tool that the Federal Reserve deploys to control expansionary or recessionary economic conditions. It is the interest rate that Federal Reserve allows banks with excess to charge other banks that need to borrow to shore up their deficits. This interest rate is a short-term rate when compared to the long-term interest rates that banks charge consumers of its products and services. The long-term interest rates are affected by the inflation rates.
A consumer values a car at $30,000 and a producer values the same car at $20,000. What amount of tax will result in unconsummated transaction
The question is incomplete:
A consumer values a car at $30,000 and a producer values the same car at $20,000. If the transaction is completed at $24,000, what level of sales tax will result in unconsummated transaction?
a. 0%
b. 25%
c. 20%
d. 40%
Answer:
d. 40%
Explanation:
The unconsummated transaction would occur when the price that the customer has to pay is higher than the value that he gave to the car. According to that, the answer would be the tax that would increase the final price to more than $30,000:
0%: $24,000
25%: 24,000*1.25= $30,000
20%: 24,000*1.20= $28,800
40%: 24,000*1.40= $33,600
The answer is that the amount of tax will result in an unconsummated transaction is 40%.
The Walthers Company has a semi-annual coupon bond outstanding. An increase in the market rate of interest will have which one of the following effects on this bond?
a. increase the coupon rate.
b. decrease the coupon rate.
c. increase the market price.
d. decrease the market price.
e. increase the time period.
Answer:
The answer is D.
Explanation:
An increase in the market rate of interest of a bond will decrease the market price of the bond. Market rate of interest of a bond is inversely related to the market price of the bond.
For example, A bonds is issued with a higher interest rate, the price of existing bonds will fall because the demand for this bond falls.
The Pennington Corporation issued a new series of bonds on January 1, 1985. The bonds were sold at par ($1,000); had a 12% coupon; and mature in 30 years, on December 31, 2014. Coupon payments are made semiannually (on June 30 and December 31). a. What was the YTM on January 1, 1985?
Answer:
The YTM on January 1, 1985 was 6.00%.
Explanation:
The YTM is the interest rate used to determine the Present Value of Coupons and Principle and can be found as follows :
PV = $1,000
Pmt = ($1,000 × 12 %) / 2 = - $60
P/yr = 1
n = 30 × 2 = 60
Fv = - $1,000
YTM = ?
Using a Financial Calculator, the YTM is 6.00%
Therefore, the YTM on January 1, 1985 was 6.00%.

Explanation:
Calculation for the annual tax liability on the property
Using this formula
Annual tax liability= (Tax rate× Real property )
Where= Tax rate =18 million
Real property=180,000
Let plug in the formula
Annual tax liability=( .018x180000)
Annual tax liability=$3,240
Therefore the annual tax liability on the property is $3,240
Suppose that the government imposes a $2 a cup tax on coffee. The rise in the price of a Starbucks coffee will be ______, coffee. The number of cups of coffee bought in coffee shops will _______.
Answer:
increase, decrease
Explanation:
In simple words, when the tax was imposed on the product the company will ultimately bear it to the final consumer which means the price will rise. However when the price of the product rises the demand for that product decreases due to the fact that many individuals would not be able to buy it now from their limited income, this phenomenon is called price elasticity due to income.
Answer:
increasedecreaseExplanation:
One of your customers is delinquent on his accounts payable balance. You’ve mutually agreed to a repayment schedule of $500 per month. You will charge 1.2 percent per month interest on the overdue balance.
If the current balance is $11,000, how long will it take for the account to be paid off? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
It will take approximately 25.70 months for the the account to be paid off.
Explanation:
Assuming the customer pays at the end of every month, the relevant formula to use is therefore the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV = P * [{1 - [1 / (1 + r)]^n} / r] …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV = Present value or current balance = $11,000
P = Monthly repayment = $500
r = interest rate = 1.2%, or 0.012
n = number of months = ?
Substitute the values into equation (1) and solve for n, we have:
11,000 = 500 * [{1 - [1 / (1 + 0.012)]^n} / 0.012]
11,000 / 500 = {1 - [1 / (1 + 0.012)]^n} / 0.012
22 * 0.012 = 1 - 0.988142292490119^n
0.264 = 1 - 0.988142292490119^n
0.988142292490119^n = 1 - 0.264
0.988142292490119^n = 0.736
Loglinearizing both sides, we have:
n * log (0.988142292490119) = log (0.736)
n = log (0.736) / log (0.988142292490119)
n = -0.133122185662501 / -0.00518051250378013
n = 25.70
Therefore, it will take approximately 25.70 months for the the account to be paid off.

A company discarded a computer system originally purchased for $18,000. The accumulated depreciation was $17,200. The company should recognize a(an):
Answer:
The company should recognize a $800 loss.
Explanation:
Depreciation is the loss of value of an asset over its useful life, and because of the accrual principle, this depreciation is matched, as an expense, with the revenues that the asset produces in a specific period of time.
In this case, the company has expensed $17,200 over the computer system useful life. When the computer system was finally discarded, $800, representing the difference between the accumulated depreciation and the original cost of the system, where not expensed. For this reason, this $800 have to be recognized as a loss.

a. Galaxy Sales has sales of $746,700, cost of goods sold of $603,200, and inventory of $94,300. How long on average does it take the firm to sell its inventory
Answer:
days of inventory on hand if 360 days is used = 360 / 6.396607 = 56.28 days
days of inventory on hand if 365 days is used = 365 / 6.396607 = 57.06 days
Explanation:
We are to determine the days of inventory on hand
days of inventory on hand = number of days in a period / inventory turnover
inventory turnover = cost of goods sold / inventory - $603,200 / $94,300 = 6.396607
days of inventory on hand if 360 days is used = 360 / 6.396607 = 56.28 days
days of inventory on hand if 365 days is used = 365 / 6.396607 = 57.06 days

Answer:
Buhao Construction
a) Debt-to-Equity Ratio if it borrows $220,000
= Debit/Equity
= $220,000/$1,700,000
= 12.94%
b. EPS = $195,800/17,000
= $11.52
c. EPS = $173,800/17,000

Outstanding Equity = 17,000 shares x $100 = $1,700,000
Interest rate = 11%
It is assumed that Buhao Construction pays no taxes
EBIT = $130,000
Debit = $220,000
Interest Expense = $24,200
Net Income = $195,800 ($220,000 - 24,200)
Debit = $420,000
Interest Expense = $46,200
Net Income = $173,800 ($220,000 - 46,200)
b) Debt-to-Equity Ratio of Buhao Construction is the relationship in ratio terms between debts and equity of the company. It shows the percentage of debts over the stockholders' equity.

Suppose a ten firm industry has total sales of $35 million per year. The largest firm have sales of $10 million, the third largest firm has sales of $4 million, and the fourth largest firm has sales of $2 million. If fifth through tenth largest firms combined have annual sales of $12 million, the fourfirm concentration ratio for this industry is
Answer:
0.66
Explanation:
the fourfirm concentration ratio is the sum of the concentration ratio of the four largest firms in the industry.
The sales of the second largest firm = $35 million - ( $10 million + $4 million+ $2 million + $12 million ) = $7 million
concentration ratio of firm 1 = $10 million / $35 million = 0.29
concentration ratio of firm 2 = $7 million / $35 million = 0.2
concentration ratio of firm 3 = $4 million / $35 million = 0.11
concentration ratio of firm 4 = $2 million / $35 million = 0.06
Adding the ratios together = 0.66

Real interest rate is the amount of interest in terms of the the quantity of good and services that can be purchased. It is the nominal interest rate adjusted for inflation.
The relationship between inflation, real interest and nominal interest rate is given using the Fishers Effect;
N = ( (1+R) × (1+F)) - 1
N- nominal rate, R-real rate, F- inflation
real rate - 2.2%, inflation - 4.8%
Nominal rate of return =(1.022)× (1.048) - 1 = 0.071056
Nominal rate of return = 0.071056 × 100 = 7.1056 %

On July 9, Mifflin Company receives a $10,400, 90-day, 8% note from customer Payton Summers as payment on account. What entry should be made on July 9 to record receipt of the note
Answer: Debit Notes Receivable $10,400; credit Accounts Receivable $10,400.

Swing Co. has 9% annual coupon bonds that are callable and have 18 years left until maturity. The bonds have a par value of $1,000, and their current market price is $1,130.35. However, Swing Co. may call the bonds in eight years at a call price of $1,060. What are the YTM and the yield to call (YTC) on Swing Co.’s bonds?
Answer:
YTM = 7.77%
YTC = 7.62%
Explanation:
YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]
YTM = {90 + [(1,000 - 1,130.35)/18]} / [(1,000 + 1,130.35)/2]
YTM = 82.758333 / 1,065.175 = 0.07769 = 7.77%
YTC = {coupon + [(call value - market value)/n]} / [(call value + market value)/2]
YTC = {90 + [(1,060 - 1,130.35)/8]} / [(1,000 + 1,130.35)/2]
YTC = 81.20625 / 1,065.175 = 0.07623 = 7.62%

Toyota will bring hybrid electric automobiles to market next year priced at $27 comma 000 (this includes a $6 comma 750 federal tax credit). At $1.89 per gallon of gasoline, it will take 11 years to recoup the difference in price between a base model Toyota Camry and its four-cylinder gasoline-only counterpart. The price difference is $4 comma 180. If the hybrid vehicle is driven for 15 years, what is the internal rate of return on the extra investment in the hybrid?
Answer:
4.15%
Explanation:
In order to determine the annual saving we must divide the extra cost of the hybrid by the amount of years it takes to recoup our investment.
annual savings = $4,180 / 11 years = $380 per year
our initial investment = -$4,180
since we are going to use the car during 15 years, then we have 15 positive cash flows of $380
using a financial calculator or excel spreadsheet, the internal rate of return (IRR) on our investment = 4.15%
