Answer:
After E makes this investment, the individual capital balances are:
A = $29,073
B = $87,218
C = $58,145
D = $116,291
E = $82,000
Total = $327,727
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
E's capital contribution = $82,000 for 22%
Total capital after E's admission = $372,727 ($82,000/22%)
Old profits and losses sharing ratio:
A, 10 percent; B, 30 percent; C, 20 percent; and D, 40
New profits and losses sharing ratio and new capital balances
A = 10% of 78% = 7.8% 7.8% of $372,727 = $29,073
B = 30% of 78% = 23.4% 23.4% of $372,727 = $87,218
C = 20% of 78% = 15.6% 15.6% of $372,727 = $58,145
D = 40% of 78% = 31.2% 31.2% of $372,727 = $116,291
E = 22% 22% of $372,727 = $82,000
Total = 100% $327,727
b) The capital of the partnership will total $327,727 while individual partnerships will have their capital accounts adjusted in line with the new profit sharing ratio and capital.

in 2001 an outbreak of hoof-and-mouth disease in europe led to the burning of millions of cattle carcasses. discuss the demand and supply implication caused by the outbreak, for an in-depth analysis of the discussion topic you may use all of the resources available to you. what impact would you expect on the supply of cattle hides, hide prices, the supply of leather goods, and the price of leather goods
Answer:
High demand
Low supply
High prices
Explanation:
The demand and supply of products, goods and services is heavily dependent on several factors ranging from economic, health and social factors. Disease and viral outbreaks have devastating effects on the market forces of demand and supply which in most cases will impact the market negatively with characteristically high prices and scarcity of products. The mouth and hoof outbreak in Europe was one which impacted the economy including farmers, leather and hides workers and all whose businesses and sustainability depends on cattles and its products. Due to the contagious nature of the disease and the ease at which it could spread if curtailment isn't effected on time, millions of cattles were slaughtered on sighting the symptoms and it's products including skins are burnt leading to losses in billions on the path of cattle rearers, shortage of lather, hides and skins, restriction in international product trade in other to avoid its spread to other parts of the world. These resulted in low supply and high demand of cattles and its products including leather goods meaning High prices for little available.
A firm produces truffles by using labor and capital. The price of labor is $10 per unit, and the price of capital is $20 per unit. At current output level, the marginal product of labor is 40 truffles and the marginal product of capital is 60 truffles. To reduce the total cost of producing the current quantity of truffles, how should the firm change its spending on labor and capital
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
With the information given in the question, the firm should change its spending on labor and capital by increasing its labor and at thesame time, also reducing capital.
This is because since the marginal product of labor is 40 truffles and the price of labor is $10 per unit, it means that 4 truffles/dollar is being spent on labor, while for capital, 3 truffles/dollar is being spent.
In a month, Carlos can produce a maximum of either 30 bushels of pears or 15 bushels of apples, or any linear combination in between. Similarly, Donna can produce a maximum of either 20 bushels of pears or 5 bushels of apples, or any linear combination in between.
a. What is the opportunity cost for Carlos to produce one more bushel of apples in terms of pears?
b. What is the opportunity cost for Donna to produce one more bushel of apples in terms of pears?
c. What would Donna and Carlos agree to as acceptable terms of trade?
Answer:
a. What is the opportunity cost for Carlos to produce one more bushel of apples in terms of pears?
opportunity cost to produce 1 more bushel of apples = 30 / 15 = 2 bushels of pears
b. What is the opportunity cost for Donna to produce one more bushel of apples in terms of pears?
opportunity cost to produce 1 more bushel of apples = 20 / 5 = 4 bushels of pears
c. What would Donna and Carlos agree to as acceptable terms of trade?
Donna has a comparative advantage in the production of pears, so she should produce pears and exchange them for apples produced by Carlos.
Any range between 1-2 pears (higher than 1, but lower than 2) exchanged for every apple would result in mutually beneficial trade.
The amount of joint costs allocated to product DBB-1 using the sales value at split-off method is (calculate all ratios and percentages to 2 decimal places, for example 33.33%, and round all dollar amounts to the nearest whole dollar): $2,213,640. $939,240. $216,870. $757,800. $447,120.
Answer:
$2,213,640
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount of joint costs allocated to product DBB-1 using the sales value at split-off method
First step is to calculate the total amount
DBB-1= 16,000 units *$25
DBB-1= 400,000
DBB-2= 24,000 units *$35
DBB-2= 840,000
DBB-2= 36,000 units *$55
DBB-2= 1,980,000
Total =3,220,000
(400,000+840,000+1,980,000)
Second step is to calculate the Weight for DBB-3
Weight for DBB-3= 1,980,000 / 3,220,000 Weight for DBB-3=61.49%
Now let calculate the Joint cost for DBB-3
Joint cost for DBB-3=$36,00,000*61.49%
Joint cost for DBB-3=$2,213,640
Therefore The amount of joint costs allocated to product DBB-1 using the sales value at split-off method is $2,213,640
As a developing nation, India has relied on assistance for building roads, power plants, schools, and hospitals. In order to receive assistance, the government of India has lower trade barriers and fosters private business. Many high-tech start-ups and call centers are now located in India. This example illustrates the function of the _______.
Answer:
international monetary fund (IMF)
Explanation:
This example illustrates the function of the international monetary fund (IMF). This fund is what helps India build all the infrastructure that they need in order to maintain its financial stability and allows it to improve its international trade and relationships. Since India is a member of the International monetary fund and contributes to it they are able to receive assistance for such expenses from the fund itself. All country members contribute to the fund and mutually benefit from doing so.
Suppose that Harry drinks one cup of coffee with his preferred three packs of creamer every day for seven days. What is his utility for that week
Answer:
21
Explanation:
The computation of the utility for that week is as follows:
Given that
There are three packs
Also it is for seven days
u(x,y) = min(3x,y)
C = 1
x = 1
y = 3
So,
u = min(3,3)
= 3
For 7 days it would be
= 7 × 3
= 21
Hence, the utility for that week is 21

1. Friedman distinguishes between the two concepts that (a) businesses really do act in ways to maximize profit and (b) businesses have a moral responsibility (or, as he puts it, a social responsibility) to act to maximize profit. How does he defend the latter position? (See both the Friedman and Sandbu readings)
Explanation:
Friedman defends the position that companies have a social responsibility to act to maximize profit, in the sense that, the primary function of companies is to generate profit. The author goes against the growing opinions in society that companies must have social responsibility, that is, they need to create a positive and sensitive corporate image to please political and society interests and counter or even soften the words and actions its central purpose, which is profit generation. For him, social responsibility cannot be politicized in order to be an obligation of companies, as it limits freedom and interests arising from the business.
England and Scotland both produce scones and sweaters. Suppose that an English worker can produce 50 scones per hour or 1 sweater per hour. Suppose that a Scottish worker can produce 40 scones per hour or 2 sweaters per hour.
If free trade exists between the countries, then each country will benefit if
a. England exports scones, Scotland exports sweaters.
b. England exports sweaters, Scotland exports scones.
c. both countries export scones.
d. given the production possibilities, both countries will not benefit from trade.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
The country with a comparative advantage in the production of a good should export the good
A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other countries.
England
Comparative advantage in the production of scones = 1/50 = 0.02
Comparative advantage in the production of sweater = 50/1 = 50
Scotland
Comparative advantage in the production of scones = 2/40 = 0.05
Comparative advantage in the production of sweater = 40/2 = 20
England has a comparative advantage in the production of scones and should export scones
Scotland has a comparative advantage in the production of sweaters and should export sweaters
Uncle Fred recently died and left $280,000 to his 45-year-old favorite niece. She immediately spent $80,000 on a town home but decided to invest the balance for her retirement at age 65. What rate of return must she earn on her investment over the next 20 years to permit her to withdraw $75,000 at the end of each year through age 80 if her funds earn 10 percent annually during retirement
Answer:
6.06%
Explanation:
The computation of the rate of return is shown below:
Given that
NPER = 20 years
PV = ($280,000 - $80,000) = $200,000
PMT = $0
FV = $75,000 × PVIFA factor at 10% for 21 years
= $75,000 × 8.6487
= $648,652.50
The following formula should be applied
= RATE(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;TYPE)
The present value comes in negative
After applying the above formula, the rate of return is 6.06%

Sorting forms of payments
Q; Sort the forms of payment into the two categories
Answer down below
Have money at time of purchase
- cash
- debit card
- check
Borrow money to make purchase
- credit card
Answer:
Have money at time of purchase.
Cash
For cash to be used to purchase something, the person must already have the required amount of cash in their possession already.
Debit Card.
Debit cards pay for purchases by using funds in the owner's bank account. This means that for a purchase to be processed, the owner must have funds in their account in the first place.
Check
This works much like the debit card above. If one wants to use a check, their bank account needs to have funds at the time of purchase so that the funds can pay for the purchase.
Borrow money to make a purchase
Credit Card
Credit card represent a debt owed to the issuing company that will need to be paid off eventually. This means therefore that whenever you use a credit card to make a purchase, you are borrowing the money used to fund the purchase.
The balanced scorecard: Multiple Choice Fails to reflect environmental and social effects of the firm's operations. Helps focus managers' attention to bottom line profits. Is not comprehensive, since it doesn't include all the critical success factors which contribute to competitive success. Is forward looking, stressing nonfinancial measures that can lead to benefits in the future. Is heavily weighted toward the financial critical success factors.
Answer:
Is forward looking, stressing nonfinancial measures that can lead to benefits in the future.
Explanation:
Financial statements can be defined as a document used for the formal communication or disclosure of financial information and statements to present and potential users such as investors and creditors. These includes balance sheet, statement of retained earnings and income statement.
In Financial accounting, Horizontal analysis can be defined as an analysis and evaluation of a financial statement which illustrates or gives information about changes in the amount of corresponding financial statement items, benchmarks or financial ratio over a specific period of time. It is one of the most important technique that is used to measure how a business is doing financially.
Hence, the balanced scorecard is forward looking, stressing nonfinancial measures that can lead to benefits in the future and as such it is a strategic management planning technique.
Sheffield Corp. applies overhead to production at a predetermined rate of 90% based on direct labor cost. Job No. 250, the only job still in process at the end of August, has been charged with manufacturing overhead of $11700. What was the amount of direct materials charged to Job 250 assuming the balance in Work in Process inventory is $45000
Answer:
$20,300
Explanation:
Calculation for What was the amount of direct materials charged to Job 250 assuming the balance in Work in Process inventory is $45000
Direct materials charged to Job 250=$45,000 - ($11,700 / .90) - $11,700
Direct materials charged to Job 250=$45,000 - $13,000- $11,700
Direct materials charged to Job 250= $20,300
Therefore the amount of direct materials charged to Job 250 assuming the balance in Work in Process inventory is $45000 will be $20,300

The Beckham Company has the following information about their activity cost pools: Activity Cost Pools Total Overhead Cost Total Activity Machine Setups $ 125,000 5,000 setups Customer Orders $ 200,000 1,250 orders Product Design $ 300,000 2,500 product design hours The activity rate for machine setups is ________. multiple choice $125,000 $0.04 per setup $10 per setup $25 per setup
Answer:
$25 per setup
Explanation:
With regards to the above, activity rate is computed as;
= Activity cost pool resources / Activity driver
Activity cost pool resources = $125,000
Activity driver = 5,000
Activity rate for machine setup = $125,000/5,000 = $25 per setup

Claremore Industries uses a weighted-average process-costing system. All materials are added at the beginning of the process; conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout production. The company finished 40,000 units during the period and had 15,000 units in progress at year-end, the latter at the 40% stage of completion. Total material costs amounted to $220,000; conversion costs were $414,000. The cost of the ending work in process is:
Answer: $78000
Explanation:
First, we have to calculate the total.costnoer equivalent unit which will be the addition of the material cost per unit and the conversion cost per unit. This will be:
Material cost per unit = $220,000 / (40,000+15,000)
= $220,000 / 55000
= $4
Conversion cost per unit= $414,000 / (40,000 + (15,000*40%)
= $414000 / 46000
= $9
Therefore, total cost per equivalent unit will be: $4 + $9 = $13
Then, the equivlant unit of the ending work in process would be calculated as:
= 15,000 × 40%
= 15000 × 40/100
= 15000 × 0.4
= 6,000
The cost of the ending work in process will then be:
= 6,000 × $13
= $78,000
A manufacturing company applies factory overhead based on direct labor hours. At the beginning of the year, it estimated that factory overhead costs would be $348,400 and direct labor hours would be 47,000. Actual manufacturing overhead costs incurred were $304,000, and actual direct labor hours were 52,400. The journal entry to apply the factory overhead costs for the year would include a
Answer:
Journal Entry
Debit Work-in-Process $388,284
Credit Manufacturing Overhead $388,284
To record the application of factory overhead costs for the year.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Estimated factory overhead costs = $348,400
Estimated direct labor hours = 47,000
Predetermined overhead rate = $7.41 ($348,400/47,000)
Actual overhead costs = $304,000
Actual direct labor hours = 52,400
Applied overhead costs = $388,284 (52,400 * $7.41)
b) The overhead applied to the production for the year will be the actual direct labor hours by the predetermined overhead rate. This yields a cost that is greater than the actual overhead costs, which means that the manufacturing overhead was overapplied. The cause of this situation is the number of actual direct labor hours worked vis-a-vis the actual overhead costs and the predetermined rate.
Over the past decade, many American candy companies have opened factories in Mexico and Canada to produce candy. The companies, including Hershey Company, Brach's Confections, and Ferrara Pan, then ship candy back to the United States for sale. Although lower wages in Mexico might explain part of this move, wages in Canada are comparable to U.S. wages. Price floors (price supports) for the sugar industry encouraged American candy companies to move production out of the United States. Describe how the enactment of a sugar price floor impacted the market for candy in the United States, resulting in the movement of manufacturing.
Answer:
The sugar industry in the US is very powerful and has been able to establish trade barriers and import quotas that affect domestic prices. Sugar prices in the US are extremely high compared to prices in any other country, including Canada, Mexico, China, European nation, i.e. American sugar is the most expensive in the world.
Besides imposing trade barriers, the government also imposes a binding price floor. Binding price floors always result in deadweight losses since the quantity demanded is lower than equilibrium. This is why American candy manufacturers move their production overseas. the highest cost in the candy industry is actually sugar, and wherever they decide to relocate their factories it will always be cheaper.
What are the costs and sources of inefficiency in a barter B apply.) A. Productivity is increased by specialization. B. Each good has only one price. C. There is increased time and effort spent looking for trading partners. D. There is a lack of standardization. E. There is difficulty in accumulating wealth. OF. Transactions costs are almost always high.
Answer:
C)There is increased time and effort spent looking for trading partners.
D)There is a lack of standardization.
E)There is difficulty in accumulating wealth.
Explanation:
barter in a trade can be regarded as a system of exchange that involves exchange of goods and services for another without using money as a medium of exchange. Barter is been considered as 'inefficient' as a result of the needs for 'double coincidence of wants'. For instance in a situation whereby someone is buying particular amount of another's goods, but the payment he/she has is for just one indivisible unit of another good, and the worth is higher than what he/she want to obtain, in this case there won't be barter transaction.
It should be noted that the costs and sources of inefficiency in a barter are;
✓There is increased time and effort spent looking for trading partners.
✓There is a lack of standardization.
✓There is difficulty in accumulating
