Answer:
Total output of all products and services.
Explanation:
Aggregate supply is defined as the total amount of goods and services that firms are willing to sell, at a specific price, within a particular economy.
Aggregate supply is a macroeconomic concept, an aggregate variable, that is used in Keynesian and Neoclassical economics, often in models that put it together with aggregate demand, in what is known as the Aggregate Supply-Aggregate Demand model (AS-AD model).
Sales revenue $350,000 Accounts receivable $280,000 Ending inventory $230,000 Cost of goods sold $180,000 Sales returns $50,000 Sales discount $20,000 What is the gross profit?
Answer:
$100,000
Explanation:
The computation of gross profit is shown below:-
Gross profit = (Sales revenue - Sales return - Sales discount) - Cost of goods sold
= ($350,000 - $50,000 - $20,000) - $180,000
= $280,000 - $180,000
= $100,000
Therefore we simply applied the above formula for determining the gross profit
Total Variable Overhead Variance Mulliner Company showed the following information for the year:
Standard variable overhead rate (SVOR) per direct labor hour $3.50
Standard hours (SH) allowed per unit 3
Actual production in units 20,000
Actual variable overhead costs $220,500
Actual direct labor hours 61,200
Required:
1. Calculate the standard direct labor hours for actual production.
2. Calculate the applied variable overhead.
3. Calculate the total variable overhead variance.
Answer:
1. The standard direct labor hours for actual production
Standard hours per unit: 3 hours
Actual output: 20,000
Standard labour hours for actual production = 20,000 * 3
=60,000 hours
2. Applied variable Overhead
Standard hours allowed per unit = 3
Overhead rate per hour = $3.5
Standard Overhead rate per unit = Standard hours allowed per unit * OH rate per hour =3 hours * $3.5
=10.5
Actual output = 20000
Variable OH applied = Actual output * Standard Overhead rate per unit
= 20,000 * $10.5
= $210,000
3. Total Variable Overhead variance
Actual Oh incurred $220,500
Std variable Overhead to be allowed $210,000
Total Variable OH variance $10,500 (Unfavourable)

This will effect the net income as it will come down and total assets value also come down
If a company is considering optimizing the physical location for every activity in the value chain, which of the following is not a possible strategic advantage for that decision?
A. Performance enhancement
B. Cost reduction
C. Political risk reduction
D. Life-cycle enhancement
Answer:
The correct answer is: D. Life-cycle enhancement
Explanation:
When a company wants to optimize physical locations for all activities in the value chain, it must manage all elements of the value chain to improve processes and increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the value chain. Therefore, some strategic advantages for this decision include the improvement of organizational performance, which would optimize the stages of the value chain, reducing waste, and the failures of the process, which would generate cost reduction. Compliance with legislation would also decrease political risks, being a significant strategic advantage for improving the value chain.
Therefore, the life-cycle enhancement may not constitute a strategic advantage, because this process requires greater capacity for the company to manage and monitor variable resources during the enhancement life cycle, which can generate greater difficulty in managing the value chain. and higher spending.

The price that is acceptable by Small Components Division when transferring to the internal division must cover the variable manufacturing cost (less internal savings) plus opportunity cost incurred.
This price is known as the Minimum Transfer Price for the Transferring Division (Small Components Division) and would never accept a transfer with any price lower than this.
Determine how many of each plant stand Bobby needs to sell to breakeven. Begin by computing the weighted-average contribution margin per unit. First identify the formula labels, then complete the calculations step by step.
Answer:
For twig stands= 24 units.
For oak stand = 6 units.
Explanation:
From the question above we are given that the Sale price for Twig and Oak plant stand are 15.00 and 42.00. We are also given that the Variable cost for Twig and Oak plant stand are 2.00 and 19.00 per unit. Thus, the value for the Contribution Margin per unit can be calculated by just subtracting Variable cost for Twig and Oak plant stand from Sale price for Twig and Oak plant stand, that is;
Contribution Margin per unit = (Sale price for Twig and Oak plant) - (Variable cost for Twig and Oak plant stand).
Contribution Margin per unit for Twig = 15.00 - 2.00 = 13.00 and the Contribution Margin per unit for oak = 42.00 - 19.00 = 23.00.
From the question, we are given that the Sales mix in units is 4(twig) and 1(oak) = 4 + 1 = 5.
Thus, the contribution margin for twig = sales mix for twig × Contribution Margin per unit for Twig = 4 × 13 = 52.
Also, the contribution margin for oak = sales mix for oak × Contribution Margin per unit for oak = 1 × 23 = 23.
Total = 52 + 23 = 75.
Hence, the Weighted Average Contribution per unit = 75 / 5 = 15.
Total Break even Sales = 450/15 = 30 units.
Thus, for twig stand; 30 × 4/5 = 24 units.
For oak = 30 × 1/5 = 6 units.
Suppose the current term structure of interest rates, assuming annual compounding, is as follows: s_1s 1 s_2s 2 s_3s 3 s_4s 4 s_5s 5 s_6s 6 7.0% 7.3% 7.7% 8.1% 8.4% 8.8% What is the discount rate d(0,4)d(0,4)? (Recall that interest rates are always quoted on an annual basis unless stated otherwise.)
Answer: The answer is 7.53%
Explanation:
To calculate for the discount rate of d(0,4)d(0,4)
The discount factor is : d=1/1+i
Provided the interest rates are compounded annually the discount factor will give the present value of the bond when provided with the interest rate and maturity value.
Going with the above, the present value of a bond with a maturity value of 1 will be;
Present value=1 /(1+i1) (1+i) (1+i3) (1+i4)
Present value=1 / (1.07) (1.073) (1.077) (1.081)
Present value=0.748
The present value of a bond with a maturity value of 1 will hence be 0.748.
Therefore, to calculate the discounting factor for the 4 years:
1 (1+d (0,4))‐⁴ =0.748
(1+d(0,4))=0.748‐¹/⁴
1+d (0,4) =1.0753
d (0,4)=0.0753
Finally, the discount rate will be 7.53%

Suppose you inherited $275,000 and invested it at 8.25% per year. How much could you withdraw at the end of each of the next 20 years
Answer:
$28,533.5
Explanation:
Principal value (PV) = $275,000
Time = 20 years
Rate = 8.25%
Present Value = P ((1-(1+R)^-n) / r)
275,000 = P ((1- (1 + 0.0825)^-20) /.0825)
275,000 x .0825 = P (1-(1/1.0825)^20)
22687.5 = P ((1.0825^20 - 1) / (1.0825 ^20))
22687.50 = P (4.8816 - 1 / 4.8816)
22687.5 = P (3.886 / 4.8816)
22687.5 = p(0.7951)
P = 22687.5 / 0.7951
P = $28533.5

Ben has $500 in his savings account and the bank pays an interest rate of 10 percent a year. The inflation rate is 6 percent a year. The government taxes the interest that Ben earns on his deposit at 20 percent. Calculate the nominal after-tax interest rate and the real after-tax interest rate that Ben earns.
Answer:
Nominal after-tax interest rate = 8%Real After-Tax Interest Rate = 2%Explanation:
The Nominal rate is 10%
Inflation rate is 6%
And Tax rate is 20%
Nominal after-tax interest rate
= Nominal rate (1 - tax rate)
= 10% ( 1 - 0.2)
= 8%
Real After-Tax Interest Rate
= Nominal after-tax interest rate - inflation rate
= 8% - 6%
= 2%
Gift property (disregarding any adjustment for gift tax paid by the donor): a.Has the same basis to the donee as the donor's adjusted basis if the donee disposes of the property at a gain. b.Has the same basis to the donee as the donor's adjusted basis if the donee disposes of the property at a loss, and the fair market value on the date of gift was less than the donor's adjusted basis. c.Has a zero basis to the donee if the fair market value on the date of gift is less than the donor's adjusted basis. d.Has no basis to the donee because he or she did not pay anything for the property.
Answer: Has the same basis to the donee as the donor's adjusted basis if the donee disposes of the property at a gain.
Explanation:
For a gifted property, it should be noted that the tax basis for a donee that is, the person who gets the gift will be identical to that of the donor, this is, the person that donates the gift in cases whereby the property is gotten as a gift.
Therefore, a gift property disregarding any adjustment for gift tax paid by the donor will have the same basis to the donee as the donor's adjusted basis if the donee disposes of the property at a gain.
A buyer is getting a fully amortized loan for $220,000. The bank will give the buyer the loan for 15 years at 5 1/2% or for 30 years at 6 1/2%. To the nearest dollar, what is the difference between the monthly payments for these two loans?
Answer:
Difference in monthly payment=$407.0339
Explanation:
Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest.
The monthly installment is computed as follows:
Monthly installment= Loan amount/annuity factor
Loan amount; =220,000
Annuity factor = (1 - (1+r)^(-n))/r
r -monthly rate of interest, n- number of months
First option
monthly interest rate = 5.5% =0.458 %, n- 15×12
Annuity factor= (1-(1+0.055)^(-180 )/0.055 =122.38
Monthly repayment = 220,000/122.386 = 1797.58
Second option
r- 6.5%/12 = 0.542 % n = 15×12 = 180
Annuity factor = ( 1- (1+0.00542)^(-360))/0.005 42= 158.21
Monthly installment = 220,000/1390.549 = 1390.54
Difference in monthly payment = 1,797.583 - 1390.54 = 407.0339
Difference in monthly payment=407.0339
Montel Company’s July sales budget calls for sales of $630,000. The store expects to begin July with $63,000 of inventory and to end the month with $37,000 of inventory. Gross margin is typically 20% of sales. Determine the budgeted cost of merchandise purchases for July.
Answer:
Budgeted cost of merchandise purchases =$499,000
Explanation:
The expected units of a product that a business estimates to purchase given its sales budget and inventory is known as the purchases budget.
The purchases budget can bed determined by adjusting the sales budget for closing and opening inventories.
Purchases budget = Sales budget +closing inventory - opening inventory
Note that the sales was given in selling price terms while the inventories in cost terms, hence there is a need to work out the cost of the sales using the 20% margin
Cost of the sales = 100/120× 630,000 =$ 525000
Opening inventory =63,000
Closing inventory = 37,000
Budgeted cost of merchandise purchases:
= 525000 + 37,000 - 63,000= $499,000
Budgeted cost of merchandise purchases =$499,000
