Question options:
a.
overvalued; surplus of dollars
b.
undervalued; shortage of pesos
c.
overvalued; shortage of dollars
d.
undervalued; surplus of pesos
Answer:
Overvalued and there is a shortage of dollars
Explanation:
An increase in dollar price to buy peso means that dollar here is overvalued as it is above the equilibrium price(E2),and therefore it would be expensive to buy goods that are sold for a certain amount of dollars or in dollar currency with the Mexican pesos. This is because the fixed exchange rate system tries to ensure smooth and inexpensive trade between countries as it has to do with currency trading barriers by pegging a currency to another(in this case dollars) but here the dollar price increase for peso makes it more expensive to buy dollar products with pesos. Also this is caused here by the shortage of dollars.
The_____ will solve for the expected return measured in an investor’s domestic currency for a foreign asset denominated its own currency.
Answer:
The Intertemporal Capital Asset Pricing Model (ICAPM)
Explanation:
The Intertemporal Capital Asset Pricing Model (ICAPM) is an useful way to calculate investor returns.
This method which involves predicting model allows an investor to measure their expected return in his own domestic currency. In a sense, It tells the investors the risk to profit gain of an investment.
If two firms producing substitutes agree to fix prices, then their prices will 1.____________ . If two firms producing complements agree to fix prices, then their prices will 2.____________ .
Answer: increase; decrease.
Explanation:
Price fixing is a situation that occurs when two companies come together and form an agreement whereby the price of a particular goods or services will not be sold below that particular price.
When two firms producing substitutes agree to fix prices, then their prices will increase and when two firms that are producing complements fix prices, then their prices will reduce.
How could managers use increased worker flexibility and diligence to increase the competitiveness of their manufacturing sites
Explanation:
In order to increase the flexibility and diligence of workers in order to increase the competitiveness of their manufacturing sites, it is ideal for management to offer working conditions that allow employees greater benefits, such as greater mobility, with a layout that includes the correct flow between people, products and materials.
It is also ideal to implement technologies that reduce the bureaucracy both at work and facilitate communication and carrying out tasks.
Mobility also includes remote work using technology.
These are strategies that help to make work more flexible and, consequently, increase innovation in work and worker motivation.
The correct way in which the flexibility of the workers in an organization can be increased is by adapting to suitable principles of business management as per the size and scale of the business.
This will also help the manager to increase the competitiveness in the market and also beat the need for optimum level of production in the organization.
Principles of Business Management. The principles of business management as given by economist Henry Fayol are a great source for how the business can be run efficiently and effectively using the resources available.There can be chain level management that can be followed to achieve specialization of work and bring in additional capital or workforce to divide the work uniformly. Manufacturing can also be increased by doing departmentalization in management to save up costs and achieve optimum utilization of resources.Hence, a manager may adapt to different principles of management to increase competitiveness and effectiveness in the level of manufacturing.

Equivalent Units and Cost per Equivalent Unit-Weighted-Average Method [LO5-2, LO5-3]
Pureform, Inc., uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. It manufactures a product that passes through two departments. Data for a recent month for the first department follow:
Units Materials Labor Overhead
Work in process inventory, beginning 58,000 $ 56,200 19,700 $24,100
Units started in process 549,000
Units transferred out 570,000
Work in process inventory, ending 37,000
Cost added during the month $ 743,270 $ 243,460 $297,540
The beginning work in process inventory was 80% complete with respect to materials and 65% complete with respect to labor and overhead. The ending work in process inventory was 60% complete with respect to materials and 40 % complete with respect to labor and overhead.
Required:
1. Compute the first department's equivalent units of production for materials, labor, and overhead for the month.
2. Determine the first department's cost per equivalent unit for materials, labor, and overhead for the month. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Overhead Labor Materials
1. Equivalent units of production
2. Cost per equivalent unit
Answer:
Material Labour Overhead
1) Total equivalent unit 607,000 584,800 584,800
2) Cost per equivalent unit (a/b) 1.32 0.45 0.55
Explanation:
Under the weighted average method of valuation, to account for completed units, it is assumed that the entire degree of work required is done in the period under consideration. So there is no separation of the completed units into opening inventory and fully worked.
Cost per equivalent unit = cost / total equivalent units
1) Equivalent units of production
Material Labour Overhead

Total equivalent unit 607,000 584,800 584,800
% of work done on WIP 60% 40% 40%
Note the equivalent unit for WIP is computed by multiplying the degree of work done (in %) by the units of WIP for each of the element of cost.
For example, the EU of material for WIP = 60% × 37,000 = 22,200
2. Cost per equivalent unit

Kunkel Company makes two products and uses a conventional costing system in which a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate is computed based on direct labor-hours. Data for the two products for the upcoming year follow:
Mercon Wurcon
Direct materials cost per unit $ 9.00 $ 7.00
Direct labor cost per unit $15.00 $ 17.00
Direct labor-hours per unit 0.40 4.80
Number of units produced 4,000 8,000
These products are customized to some degree for specific customers.
Required:
1. The company's manufacturing overhead costs for the year are expected to be $1,600,000. Using the company's conventional costing system, compute the unit product costs for the two products.
2. Management is considering an activity-based costing system in which half of the overhead would continue to be allocated on the basis of direct labor-hours and half would be allocated on the basis of engineering design time. This time is expected to be distributed as follows during the upcoming year:
Mercon Wurcon Total
Engineering design time (in hours) 8,000 8,000 16,000
Compute the unit product costs for the two products using the proposed ABC system.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Mercon Wurcon
Direct materials cost per unit $ 9.00 $ 7.00
Direct labor cost per unit $15.00 $ 17.00
Direct labor-hours per unit 0.40 4.80
Number of units produced 4,000 8,000
A. First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Total direct labor hours= 0.4*4,000 + 4.8*8,000= 40,000
Overhead= 1,600,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 1,600,000/40,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $40 per direct labor hour
Now, we can determine the unitary product cost.
Mercon= 9 + 15 + 40*0.4= $37
Wurcon= 7 + 17 + 4.8*40= $216
B.
Mercon Wurcon Total
Engineering design time (in hours) 8,000 8,000 16,000
Now, we have two different allocation rates:
Direct-labor hours= 800,000/40,000= $20 per direct labor hour
Engineer desing= 800,000/16,000= $50 per engineer desing hour
Finally, we can determine the unitary product cost:
Engineer design per unit:
Mercon= 8,000/4,000= 2
Wurcon= 8,000/8,000= 1
Mercon= 9 + 15 + (20*0.4 + 50*2) = $132
Wurcon= 7 + 17 + (20*4.8 + 50*1)= $170

The bonds of CYTK, Inc. carry a 12% annual coupon, have a $1,000 face value, and mature in 5 years. Bonds of equivalent risk yield 9%. What is the market value of CYTK bonds
Answer:
The market value of CYTK bonds is $1,116.69.
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Annual coupon = $1000 × 12% = $120
Annual coupon discount factor based ordinary annuity = ((1-(1/(1 + r))^n)/r)
Where;
r = rate of return of equivalent bond = 9%, or 0.09
n = number of years to maturity = 5
Therefore, we have
Annual coupon discount factor = ((1-(1/(1.09))^5)/0.09) = 3.88965126335172
PV of coupon = $120 × 3.88965126335172 = $466.76
PV of the face value of the bond = Face value ÷ (1 + r)^n = 1,000 ÷ (1 + 0.09)^5 = $649.93
Therefore, we have:
Market value of CYTK bonds = PV of coupon + PV of the face value of the bond = $466.76 + $649.93 = $1,116.69
Therefore, the market value of CYTK bonds is $1,116.69.
If portfolio weights are positive: 1) Can the return on a portfolio ever be less than the smallest return on an individual security in the portfolio? 2) Can the variance of a portfolio ever be less than the smallest variance of an individual security in the portfolio? A) 1) yes; 2) no B) 1) no; 2) yes C) 1) no; 2) no D) 1) maybe; 2) no E) 1) yes; 2) yes
Answer: B) 1) no; 2) yes
Explanation:
The return on a portfolio when the portfolio weights are positive will be between the highest return and the lowest return. It cannot exceed these limits.
With Variance however, the variance of a portfolio can be less than the smallest variance of an individual security in the portfolio because in the calculation of portfolio variance, the correlation is used in the calculation (refer to formula below). As a result, if the securities are negatively correlated, it could lead to a lower value than the smallest variance in the portfolio.
Variance of Portfolio = (w(1)^2 * o(1)^2) + (w(2)^2 * o(2)^2) + (2 * (w(1)*o(1)*w(2)*o(2)*q(1,2)))
Highlighted portion is the correlation. If this is negative, Portfolio variance will reduce to a point lower than the lowest individual variance.
Based on the information given, the correct option will be B. 1) no; 2) yes
It should be noted that the return on a portfolio when the portfolio weights are positive will be calculated as the value that is between the highest return and the lowest return.
In such a case, the return on a portfolio can never be less than the smallest return on the individual security in the portfolio. Also, the variance of a portfolio can be less than the smallest variance of the individual security in the portfolio.

3. Show the assignment of costs to units transferred out and in process.
Units transferred out $
Units in ending work in process
Answer:
1. Compute equivalent units of production for materials and for conversion costs
Equivalent units of Materials: (Units in Beginning Work in process + Units started into production - Units in ending work in process) + Units in ending work in process
= (0 + 37,300 - 8,200) + 8,200
= 37,300
Equivalent units of conversion costs : (Units in Beginning Work in process + Units started into production - Units in ending work in process) + (Units in ending work in process * 40%)
= (0 + 37,300 - 8,200) + (8,200 * 40%)
=29,100 + 3,280
= 32,380
2. Determine the unit costs of production
Unit costs of materials = Direct materials / Equivalent units of Materials
= $78,330 / 37,300
= $2.1
Unit costs of conversion costs = (Direct labor + Overhead) / Equivalent units of conversion costs
= ($66,500 + $105,114) / 32,380
= $171,614 / 32,380
= $5.3
3. Show the assignment of costs to units transferred out and in process
Units ending work in process = Materials + Conversion costs
where, Materials = 8,200 * $2.1 = $8,202
Conversion costs = 3,281 * $5.3 = $17,389
( 8,200 * 40%)
Units ending work in process = $8,202 + $17,389

b. Journalize the adjusting entry on December 31 to recognize the depletion expense.
Answer:
a. Determine the amount of depletion expense for the current year.
$39,780,000
b. Journalize the adjusting entry on December 31 to recognize the depletion expense.
Dr Depletion expense 39,780,000
Cr Accumulated depletion: Mine 39,780,000
Explanation:
depletion expense per ton mined = $153,000,000 / 90,000,000 = $1.70 per ton
depletion expense for current year = $1.70 x 23,400,000 = $39,780,000
Depletion expense is similar to depreciation expense since the carrying value of the asset decreases as minerals are being mined.
Game theory is useful for understanding oligopoly behavior because: there are so many firms in an oligopoly that all are price takers. firms must differentiate their products if they are to remain in business. firms recognize that because there are only a few firms mutual interdependence is important. without it firms would not be able to maintain cartel agreements. it allows firms to develop greater monopoly power.
Answer:
firms recognize that because there are only a few firms mutual interdependence is important.
Explanation:
Game theory is useful for understanding oligopoly behavior because firms recognize that because there are only a few firms mutual interdependence is important.
An oligopoly can be defined as a market structure comprising of a small number of firms (sellers) offering identical or similar products, wherein none can limit the significant influence of others.
Hence, under the game theory, when firms makes a decision about their business, it is expected that they consider how the other firms would react to such decisions.
The Atlantic Company sells a product for $150 per unit. The variable cost is $60 per unit, and fixed costs are $270,000. What is the break-even point in sales units?_____________________________________ What is the break-even points in sales units if the company desires a target profit of $36,000?
Answer:
The break even units are 3000 units and when it desires the profit of $36000 then sales unit is 3400 units.
Explanation:
The selling price of a product (SP) = $150 per unit.
Variable cost (VC) = $60 per unit.
Fixed cost of the company = $270000
Break-even units can be calculated by dividing the fixed cost from the difference in selling price and variable cost.
Break even Units = (fixed cost) / ( SP – VC)
= 270000 / (150-60)
= 3000 units.
Break-even units when a company desires a profit of $36000.
Desired units for sales = (Fixed Cost + Profit)/ Contribution per unit
= (270,000 + 36,000) / (150 - 60)
= 3,400 units

Your firm has total sales of $22,980, costs of $14,715, and depreciation of $6,045. The tax rate is 34 percent. There are no interest expenses or other income. What is the operating cash flow?
Answer:
Thus, Operating cash flow for company is $7,510.20.
Explanation:
Total Sales = $22,980
Cost of goods sold = $14,715
Depreciation = $6,045
Profit before tax = Total Sales – Cost of goods sold – Depreciation
= $22,980 – $14,715 – $6,045
=$2,220
Profit before tax is $2,220
Tax rate = 34%
Net profit = profit before tax × (1 – 34%)
= $1,465.20
Net profit for company is $1,465.20.
Operating cash flow = Net profit + Depreciation
= $1,465.20 + $6,045
= $7,510.20
Thus, Operating cash flow for company is $7,510.20.

Fiat money is a type of money or currency that is used as money because it is issued and backed by the government but it does not have any intrinsic value.
It has no intrinsic value which means that it does not have any value of its own and it is maintained by the government. Therefore, If people lost confidence in the government the kind of money that would have the least value is fiat money
Abburi Company's manufacturing overhead is 55% of its total conversion costs. If direct labor is $45,900 and if direct materials are $27,200, the manufacturing overhead is:
Answer:
Manufacturing Overheads = $56100
Explanation:
The conversion cost defined simply is the cost involved in turning the raw material or direct material into the finished products. Conversion cost is calculated by adding the direct labor cost and the manufacturing overhead cost.
Conversion cost = Direct labor + Manufacturing overheads
As we know that the manufacturing overhead is 55% of conversion cost, then the direct labor cost is 45% of conversion cost.
If 45% of conversion cost is $45900, then the total conversion cost will be,
Conversion cost = 45900 * 100/45 = $102000
Manufacturing Overheads = 102000 - 45900 = $56100

James just received an $8,000 inheritance check from the estate of his deceased rich uncle. James wants to set aside enough money to pay for a trip in five years. If the trip is expected to cost $5,000, how much of the $8,000 must James deposit now if the rate of return is 12% per year in order to have the $5,000 in five years
Answer:
$2831.13
Explanation:
The computation of the present value of 5,000 in five years is shown below:-
Present Value of 5,000 in five years = Expected cost ÷ (1 + Rate of return)^Number of years
= $5,000 ÷ (1 + 12%)^5
= $
5,000 ÷ (1.12)^5
= $2831.13
Therefore for computing the present value of 5,000 in five years we simply applied the above formula.

Answer:
B. 29.2%, 12.5%, 10.0%
Explanation:
Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of goods sold / Sales
Gross Profit = $1,200 - $850 / $1,200
Gross Profit = $350 / $1,200
Gross Profit = 0.2917
Gross Profit = 29.17%
Operating profit = Sales - Cost of goods sold - Operating Expenses / Sales
Operating profit = $1,200 - $850 - $200 / $1,200
Operating profit = $150 / $1,200
Operating profit = 0.125
Operating profit = 12.5%
Net profit margin = Sales - Cost of goods sold - Income Taxes / Sales
Net profit margin= $1,200 - $850 - $200 - $30 / $1,200
Net profit margin $120 / $1,200
Net profit margin= 0.1
Net profit margin= 10%
