Answer:
Explanation:
According to the rule of cost minimization, a firm should should employ that quantity f labor and capital for which the marginal rate of technical substitution between capital and labor (MRTSkl) equals the wage rental ratio (w/r). Hence, the cost minimization rules becomes:
(MRTSkl) = w/r
MPl / MPk = w / r
MPl / w = MPk / r
In the case given, substitute the values of the variables and find that
MPl / w = MPk / r
60 / 12 < 45 / 8
5 < 5.625
Since the ratio is not equal, the firm is not using the optimum mix of inputs. On last dollar spent basis, capital is a better deal than labor, and the firm should use less labor and increase the amount of capital in order to minimize costs.

The bonds in our model have a maturity close to zero; they just pay the current interest rate, i, as a flow over time. We could consider, instead, a discount bond, such as a U.S. Treasury Bill. This type of asset has no explicit interest payments (called coupons) but pays a principal of, say, $1000 at a fixed date in the future. A Bill with one- year maturity pays off one year from the issue date, and similarly for 3-month or 6-month Bills. Let PB be the price of a discount bond with one-year maturity and principal of $1000. a. Is PB greater than or less than $1000.
a. Is P^B greater than or less than $1000?
b. What is the one-year interest rate on these discount bonds?
c. If prises, what happens to the interest rate on these bonds?
d. Suppose that, instead of paying $1000 in one year, the bond pays $1000 in two years. What is the interest rate per year on this two-year discount bond?
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Part a.
[tex]P^{B}[/tex] will be less than $1000.
Reason: [tex]P^{B}[/tex] + interest = $1000, since interest >0 (Cannot be negative)
Hence,
[tex]P^{B}[/tex] < $1000
Part b.
Assuming the amount of interest to be i, [tex]P^{B}[/tex] would be $1000 - I
Rate of interest would be:
($1000 - ($1000-i)) / ($1000 - i) = i / ($1000 - i)
Rate of interest = i / ($1000 - i)
Part c.
If [tex]P^{B}[/tex] rises, the interest rate on these bonds would come down. Going back to a. [tex]P^{B}[/tex] = $1000 - i, and if [tex]P^{B}[/tex] rises, it implies that i reduces, which means that rate of interest will be reduced.
Part d.
If $1000 is a payment two years later, it implies that i (refer to b.) is the interest for two years. Assuming annual compounding, let's calculate rate of interest as follows:
Interest for two year (i) = $1000 - [tex]P^{B}[/tex] at the rate of i per year
= [tex]P^{B}[/tex] X i / 100 + ([tex]P^{B}[/tex] X (1+i/100))X i/100
We can solve for i to get annual rate of interest.
When developing baseline standards, it is vital to use industry best practices. Industry best practices standards enable one to justify choices being made to regulators. Furthermore, there is increased efficiency to be gained by modifying an existing standard as opposed to creating one from the ground up.
A. True
B. False
Answer:
A. True
Explanation:
A baseline may be defined as the minimum amount of security that a network, a device or a system must adhere to. They are generally mapped to the industry standards. It is applied to the several layers of the IT infrastructure of an organization.
When developing them, it is very important to make use of the industry best practices. It enables to justify the choices that are being made to the regulators.
Hence the answer is true.
On December 1st, the company pays a local radio station $200,000 for 4 months of radio ads that are to be aired equally throughout December through March. Prepaid Advertising was debited on December 1st and no other entries regarding this transaction were made since then.
15. $ After the adjusting entry has been recorded on December 31", determine the amount of advertising expense for the year ended December 314 16. S After the adjusting entry has been recorded on December 31%, determine the ending balance in the prepaid advertising account that should be recorded on the December 31" Balance Sheet. Use the following transactions to answer questions
17-19 Determine the amount of revenue or expense that would be reported at the time of the transaction under the two methods. An example transaction has been completed for you.
Question Completion:
Journalize the adjusting entry.
Answer:
Adjusting Journal Entry:
December 31:
Debit Advertising Expense $50,000
Credit Prepaid Advertising $50,000
To record the advertising expense for the year (1 month's).
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
December 1: Prepaid Advertising for 4 months = $200,000
Advertising expense for the year (1 month) = $50,000 ($200,000/4 months)
Balance of Prepaid Advertising for 3 months = $150,000 ($200,000 *3/4)
b) The Adjusting Journal entry recognizes the advertising expense that relates to the year and carry forward the prepaid balance to the next accounting year. Expenses and revenue are recorded when the services are consumed or rendered and not when cash is exchanged. In this case, the $200,000 is not recognized as advertising expense for the current year. Instead, only $50,000 is recorded as expense. The balance of $150,000 is carried forward to the next year when the service will be consumed.

According to the parallel coordinates plot, how are online customers differentiated from in-store customers?
Question Completion:
Choose the correct answer below
(1) in-store customers appear to be middle aged, have higher annual income and live further distance away from a store
(2) in-store customers appear to be generally younger, have lower annual income and live near a store
(3) Online customers appear to be generally younger, have higher annual income and live further distance away from a store
(4) Online customers appear to be middle aged, have lower annual income and live near a store
Answer:
Zeitler's Department Stores
Online and In-store Customers:
According to the parallel coordinates plot, online customers are differentiated from in-store customers in the following ways:
(3) Online customers appear to be generally younger, have higher annual income and live further distance away from a store
Explanation:
Younger persons tend to embrace technology more than their older counterparts. Based on this, they also engage on online purchasing of goods and services instead of visiting the traditional brick-and-mortar stores. With online purchase, a customer is in better control because she can search for the best deals from any location.
An outside supplier has offered to sell the component for $17. If Damon purchases the component from the outside supplier, the manufacturing facilities would be unused and could be rented out for $10,000. If Damon purchases the component from the supplier instead of manufacturing it, the effect on income would be:
Answer:
C. a $10,000 decrease.
Explanation:
Calculation for what the effect on income would be
First step is to calculate Make
Make=$100,000 + $160,000 + $60,000
Make = $320,000
Second step is to calculate Buy
Buy= $20,000 × $17 = $340,000 – $10,000
Buy = $330,000
Now let calculate the effect on income
Effect on income = $320,000 – $330,00
Effect on income = –$10,000 decrease
Therefore the effect on income would be –$10,000 decrease
An economic profit includes implicit costs and accounting profit does not. A distinction between them is important because an accounting profit is a relative amount of money. Some amount of accounting profit may or may not be a sufficient amount of profit to keep an entrepreneur in:________
Answer:
his/ her present line of business
Explanation:
Economic profit is accounting profit less implicit cost
Accounting cost is total revenue less explicit cost
Implicit cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives
Explicit cost is the actual cost incurred in carrying out an activity.
In determining profit, it is essential to consider implicit cost to determine if the business is earning economic profit
A purchase of a pair of Italian designer jeans by a resident of Japan would be considered an_____when counting GDP in Japan. As a result, this purchase would be_____Japanese GDP. A purchase of a light pickup truck made in Japan and sold in Canada would be considered an_____for Japanese GDP, which would be_____Japanese GDP.
Answer and Explanation:
In the case when the purchase of Italian jeans made by the Japan resident so it would be considered an import at the time of counting GDP in Japan. So the purchase would be deducted or excluded from Japanese GDP
In the case when the purchase of truck would be made in Japan and then sold it in Canada so it would be considered as an export so the same would be included or added in Japanese GDP.
Based on Jacobs (1954). The Carter Caterer Company must have the following number of clean napkins available at the beginning of each of the next four days: day 1, 1500; day 2, 1200; day 3, 1800; day 4, 600. After being used, a napkin can be cleaned by one of two methods: fast service or slow service. Fast service costs 50 cents per napkin, and a napkin cleaned via fast service is available for use the day after it is last used. Slow service costs 30 cents per napkin, and these napkins can be reused two days after they are last used. New napkins can be purchased for a cost of 95 cents per napkin. Determine how to minimize the cost of meeting the demand for napkins during the next four days. (Note: There are at least two possible modeling approaches, one network and one nonnetwork. See if you can model it each way.)

After graduating from college, you are hired by the Ford automobile company as an economic analyst. For your first project, you are asked to estimate what would happen to the sales of Ford Mustangs as a result of a change in (i) the price of a Chevrolet Camaro, (ii) the price of gasoline, and (iii) consumer incomes. You are given the following elasticities:
price elasticity Of demand for Ford Mustangs= -2.5
Cross-price elasticity between Ford Mustangs and Camaros =1.5
Cross-price elasticity between Ford Mustangs and gasoline= -0.80
Income elasticity of demand for Ford Mustangs= 3.00
a. Suppose the price Of a Camaro falls by 10%. With all else being equal, sales of Ford Mustangs would______ by_______%
b. If the price of gasoline increases by 20%, the quantity of Ford Mustangs would _________by_______%
Answer:
a. Decrease by 15%
b. decrease by 16%
Explanation:
a. As we know that
Camaro and ford mustangs would be considered as a substitute goods as the cross price elasticity of demand comes in positive so in the case when the price of camaro decrease so the quantity of Mustang would also decreased by 1.5 ×10% = 15%
b. As we know that Gasoline and mustang would be considered as complementary goods so if the price of gasoline would increase by 20% so the quantity of mustang be decreased by 0.80 × 20% = 16%
The following information is available for the adjusting entries. Accrued interest on the notes payable at year-end amounted to $4,000 and will be paid January 1, 2022. Accrued salaries at year-end amounted to $3,000 and will be paid on January 5, 2022. Supplies remaining on hand at the end of the year equal $3,800. Problem 3-9B Part 9 9. Record closing entries.
Question Completion:
Assume that Supplies were purchased during the year worth $13,000.
Record the adjusting entries.
Answer:
Adjusting Journal Entries on December 31, 2021:
Debit Interest Expense $4,000
Credit Interest payable $4,000
To record the accrued interest on the notes payable.
Debit Salaries Expense $3,000
Credit Salaries payable $3,000
To record the accrued salaries at year end.
Debit Supplies Expense $9,200
Credit Supplies $9,200
To record supplies expense for the year.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Supplies purchased = $13,000
Supplies at year-end = 3,800
Supplies consumed = $9,200 ($13,000 - $3,800)
b) Adjusting entries are journal entries done at the end of a financial period to ensure that expenses and revenues are matched to the period they occur instead of when cash is exchanged. This accords with the accrual concept and the matching principle of accounting.

Distributors of cigarettes earn some monopoly profits in their local markets but see them slowly erode as substitutes enter the market. Suppose Nebraska has scheduled a vote on the legalization of marijuana. Additionally, suppose that marijuana and cigarettes are substitutes and that the legalization of marijuana would lead to a decrease in the price of marijuana.
Given the relationship between marijuana and cigarettes, the legalization of marijuana would lead to_______in demand for cigarettes. Thus, distributors of cigarettes would likely____the legalization of marijuana.
Answer:
The question is incomplete, the options are missing. The options are the following:
For the first gap: increase/decrease.
For the second gap: support/oppose.
And the correct answers are: Decrease/oppose.
Explanation:
To begin with, in the microeconomics theory when it comes to concept of substitutes it refers to the relationship that exists between two goods that are similar in characteristics and therefore that they are probably to substitue one for the other in the market in the case when one's price is higher that the other. That is why that in this case presented, the legalization of the marijuana would obviously lead to a decrease in the demand of the cigarattes due to the fact that now the consumers will start to consume more of the other, letting the cigarette fall. And therefore that the distributors of cigarattes would likely be oppose to the legalization because it will affect their business.
The next three questions are based on the following information: Demand for an item is 1000 units per year. A processing fee of $10 will be charged for each order placed. The purchasing cost of the item is $20. The annual cost to carry an item in inventory is 20% of the item costs. What is the unit inventory holding cost
Answer:
$4.00
Explanation:
The cost of purchasing 1000 units per year is computed thus:
the annual cost of purchase=annual demand*cost per unit
annual demand=1000
cost per unit=$20
the annual cost of purchase=1,000*$20
the annual cost of purchase=$20,000
The cost of carrying or holding the inventory for one year is 20% of cost of purchase
Annual holding cost=20%*$20,000
Annual holding cost=$4,000
the unit inventory holding cost=annual holding cost/annual demand
the unit inventory holding cost=$4,000/1000
the unit inventory holding cost=$4.00

Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 276,000
Net operating income $ 123,600"
The company's contribution margin ratio is closest to:__________ (Do not round Intermediate calculations. Round your answer to whole percentage)
a) 42%
b) 34%
c) 66%
d) 58%
Answer:
A. 42%
Explanation:
Given the above information,
Contribution margin ratio = (Selling price - Unitary variable cost) / Selling price
Selling price = $2,122,200 / 262,000 = $8.1
Total variable cost = Variable manufacturing expense $975,200 + Variable selling and administrative expense $260,400 = $1,235,600
Unitary variable cost = $1,235,600 / 262,000 = $4.72
Contribution margin ratio = (8.1 - 4.72)/8.1 = 41.73% = 42%
Tierney Construction, Inc. recently lost a portion of its financial records in an office theft. The following accounting information remained in the office files:
Cost of goods sold $88,250
Work in process inventory, January 1, 2016 21,800
Work in process inventory, December 31, 2016 17,250
Selling and Administrative Expenses 20,400
Net Income 35,500
Factory overhead 21,650
Direct materials inventory, January 1, 2016 28,200
Direct materials inventory, December 31, 2016 15,375
Cost of goods manufactured 107,350
Finished goods inventory, January 1, 2016 35,675
Direct labor cost incurred during the period amounted to 2.5 times the factory overhead. The CFO of Tierney Construction, Inc. has asked you to recalculate the following accounts and to report to him by the end of tomorrow.
What should be the amount in the finished goods inventory at December 31, 2016?
Answer:
$54,775
Explanation:
The computation of the finished goods inventory is shown below:
As we know that
Cost of Goods sold = Cost of goods manufactured + Opening stock of Finished goods - Closing stock of Finished goods
Now
Ending Stock of Finished goods = Cost of goods manufactured + Opening stock of Finished goods - Cost of Goods sold
So,
Ending Stock of Finished goods is
= $107,350 + $35,675 - $88,250
= $54,775
On January 1, Year 1, a contractor began work on a $3.2 million construction contract that is expected to be completed in 3 years. The contractor concludes that it is appropriate to recognize revenue over time using the input method based on costs incurred (cost-to-cost method). At the inception date, the estimated cost of construction was $2.4 million. The following data relate to the actual and expected construction costs:
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3
Costs incurred $720,000 $1,170,000 $1,110,000
Expected future costs $1,680,000 $810,000 $0

Pack-and-Go, a new competitor to FedEx and UPS, does intra-city package deliveries in seven major metropolitan areas. The performance of Pack-and-Go is measured by management as: (1) delivery time (relative to budgeted delivery time), (2) on-time delivery rates (defined as agreed-upon delivery date/time plus or minus a specified cushion), and (3) percentage of lost or damaged deliveries. In response to competitive pressures, Pack-and-Go is evaluating an investment in new technology that would improve customer service and delivery quality, particularly in terms of items (2) and (3) above. The annual cost of the new technology, for each of the seven metropolitan areas serviced by Pack-and-Go, is expected to be $80,000. You have gathered the following information regarding delivery performance under both existing operations and after implementing the new technology:

Item Current System New Technology
On-time delivery rate 80% 95%
Variable cost per package lost or damaged $30 $30
Allocated fixed cost per package lost or damaged $10 $10
Annual number of packages lost or damaged 300 100
Based on a recent marketing study commissioned by Pack-and-Go, the company estimates that each percentage point increase in the on-time performance rate would lead to an annual revenue increase of $10,000. The average contribution margin ratio for packages delivered by Pack-and-Go is estimated as 40%.
Required:
1. From a financial perspective, should pack-and-Go invest in the new technology?
2. Based on the data collected by Pack-and-Go, the company is fairly confident about the reduction in costs associated with lost or damaged packages. However, because of uncertainties in terms of pricing in the markets in which Pack-and-Go operates, it is less sure about the predicted increase in revenues associated with the implementation of the new technology. What is the break-even increase in annual revenue that would justify the investment in the new technology?
Answer:
Pack-and-Go
1. From a financial perspective, Pack-and-Go should invest in the new technology. It will enjoy a contribution margin of 97.5%.
2. The break-even increase in annual revenue that would justify the investment in the new technology is:
Fixed cost = Contribution
$80,000 = Contribution - $8,000

Klingon Cruisers, Inc., purchased new cloaking machinery three years ago for $12 million. The machinery can be sold to the Romulans today for $10.8 million. Klingon's current balance sheet shows net fixed assets of $10 million, current liabilities of $830,000, long-term debt of $5 million and net working capital of $248,000. If all the current accounts were liquidated today, the company would receive $1.15 million cash. What is the book value of Klingon's equity?
a. $5,248,000.00.
b. $11,078,000.00.
c. $5,000,000.00.
d. $22,800,000.00.
e. $12,000,000.00.
Answer:
a. $5,248,000.00.
Explanation:
Calculation for the book value of Klingon's equity
Book value = $248,000 + $5,000,000
Book value = $5,248,0000
Therefore the book value of Klingon's equity will be $5,248,0000
(b) The citizens of this country are in general very clever people, but they are not good at multiplying by 2. This made shopping for potatoes excruciatingly difficult for many citizens. Therefore it was decided to introduce a new unit of currency, such that potatoes would be the numeraire. A sack of potatoes costs one unit of the new currency while the same relative prices apply as in the past. In terms of the new currency, what is the price of meatballs
Answer: 2 sacks of potatoes
Explanation:
In the past, meatballs cost 4 crowns per crock which was twice the price of Potatoes at 2 crowns per sack.
Now that potatoes were are the new currency but relative prices apply, the same notion above applies too.
If meatballs are twice the price of potatoes and potatoes are now the currency, then meatballs which are still twice the price of potatoes must be:
= 2 * 1 sack of potatoes
= 2 sacks of potatoes
The next dividend payment by Zone, Inc., will be $2.08 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a growth rate of 6 percent forever. If the stock currently sells for $42 per share, what is the required return
Answer:
10.95%
Explanation:
According to the gordon growth model,
the value of stock (price) = dividend / required return - growth rate
42 = 2.08/ r - 0.06
42(r-0.06) = 2.08
2.08/42 = r - 0.06
r = 10.95%
Kara files her income tax return 64 days after the due date of the return without obtaining an extension from the IRS. Along with the return, she remits a check for $15,400, which is the balance of the tax she owes. Note: Assume 30 days in a month.
Required:
Disregarding the interest element, enter Kara's penalty amount for each, failure to file and failure to pay.
Failure to pay________$
Failure to file________$
Answer:
failure to file :$2079
failure to pay:$231
Explanation:
given data
remits a check = $15,400
days in a month = 30
return = 64 days
solution
computation of Kara's penalty amount for failure to pay
failure to pay will be
failure to pay = 0.5% of tax owed × number of months .......................1
failure to pay = 0.5% × $15400 × 3
failure to pay = $231
and
Computation of Kara's penalty amount for failure to file
failure to file will be
failure to file = (5% of tax owed × number of months or part thereof) - failure to pay penalty .......................2
failure to file = (5% × $15400 × 3) - $231
failure to file = $2310 - $231
failure to file = $2079
