Assume that Number of Us Out Diminishing marginal returns become evident with the addition of the:________,
A) sixth worker.
B) fourth worker.
C) third worker.
D) second worker
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Dinmishing marginal returns occurs when as more units of labour is added, marginal output declines.
marginal output is change in total output as more units of labour are employed.
Marginal output = total output 2 - total output 1
total output = number of workers x units of output
Santana Mortgage Company uses a process cost system to accumulate costs in its Application Department. When an application is completed, it is forwarded to the Loan Department for final processing. The following processing and cost data pertain to September.
1. Applications in process on September 1, 170
2. Applications started in September, 930
3. Completed applications during September, 660
4. Applications still in process at September 30 were 100% complete as to materials (forms) and 60% complete as to conversion costs.
Beginning WIP:
Direct materials $1,310
Conversion costs 4,140
September costs:
Direct materials $5,114
Direct labor 12,820
Overhead 7,581
Materials are the forms used in the application process, and these costs are incurred at the beginning of the process. Conversion costs are incurred uniformly during the process.
Required:
a. Determine the equivalent units of service (production) for materials and conversion costs.
b. Compute the unit costs and prepare a cost reconciliation schedule.
Answer: a) The equivalent units for material = 1,100
The equivalent units for conversion cost = 924.
b) The unit cost for material and conversion cost is $5.84 and $26.56 respectively.
c) cost reconciliation schedule is in the explanation column
Explanation:
first , we calculate units in process
Units in Process = Units of applications Opened + units of application started - units of application completed
= 170 + 930 - 660 = 440 units
Equivalent units of production for materials =application units completed + Application units in process x its percentage complete
660 + (440 x 100%)=660+440= 1,100
Equivalent units of production for conversion = application units completed + Application units in process x its percentage complete
660 + (440 x 60%)=660+264=924
Computing the unit costs
Units of cost as per material
Number of application units during the month = 660units
Wor in process unit = 440units
Material cost during ,month -=$5,114
Beginning work in progress cost for materials =$1,310
Equivalent unts of production for materials = 1,100
Unit cost for material = Material cost during the month +Begining work in progress cost for materials/Equivalent units of production for materials = $5,114 + $1,310=$6,424/ 1100= $5.84
Units of cost as per conversion
Number of application units during the month = 660units
Work in progess unit = 440units
conversion cost during ,month -= direct labour + overhead = $12,820 + $7,581= $20, 401
Beginning work in progress cost for materials =$4,140
Equivalent unts of production for materials = 924
Unit cost = Material cost during the month +Beginning work in progress cost for materials/Equivalent units of production for materials = $20,401 + 4,140=$24,541 / 924= $26.56

On December 31, 2021, Larry's Used Cars had balances in Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts of $66,000 and $900, respectively. During 2022, Larry's wrote off $2,275 in accounts receivable and determined that there should be an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $5,500 at December 31, 2022. Bad debt expense for 2022 would be:
Answer:Bad debts expense = $6,875
Explanation:
A bad debt expense is recognized when a customer cannot pay its financial obligations therefore the account receivable will no longer be collectible
Beginning uncollectible accounts= $900
Ending allowance for uncollectible accounts = $5,500
Amounts written off = $2,275
Ending allowance for uncollectible accounts =Begining uncollectible accounts + current bad debts expense - amounts written off in 2022
$5,500= $900 + bad debts expense - $2,275
current bad debts expense for 2022= $5,500 - $900 + $2,275 = $6,875
Can also be illustrated as
ACCOUNTS
Begining uncollectible accounts $900
Amounts written off (less) - $2,275
Bad debts expense(add) + $6,875
Ending allowance for uncollectible accounts $5,500
Paulo owns a few shares of stock in a large and diversified firm. He realizes that the CEO of the company is responsible for a multi-billion dollar business, but is upset with what he feels is excessive compensation for the chief executive officer, particularly since the firm has reported losses for the past two years. Paulo's concerns are:
Answer: likely to be well-founded since CEO compensation at many U.S. companies has actually increased even when the company performed poorly
Explanation:
The options to the question are:
A. unfounded, since laws in the United States prevent firms from paying large salaries or bonuses to executives when a firm reports a loss.
B. based on an erroneous conclusion, because CEO pay is always based on a formula tied to the company's profits and losses.
C.likely to be well-founded since CEO compensation at many U.S. companies has actually increased even when the company performed poorly.
D. not entirely unfounded, but he needs to realize that the pay received by most chief executives must be reinvested in the company if it's unprofitable for three years in a row.
From the question, we are informed that Paulo owns a few shares of stock in a large and diversified firm na that he noticed that the CEO of the company is responsible for a multi-billion dollar business, but is upset with what he feels is excessive compensation for the CEO particularly since the firm has reported losses for the past two years.
Paulo's concerns are likely to be well-founded since CEO compensation at many U.S. companies has actually increased even when the company performed poorly.

A company manufactures and sells two products: Product A1 and Product C4. Data concerning the expected production of each product and the expected total direct labor-hours (DLHs) required to produce that output appear below:
Expected Production Direct Labor-Hours Per Unit Total Direct Labor-Hours
Product A1 500 2.0 1,000
Product C4 200 1.0 200
Total direct labor-hours 1,200
The direct labor rate is $27.40 per DLH. The direct materials cost per unit is $281 for Product A1 and $267 for Product C4. The company is considering adopting an activity-based costing system with the following activity cost pools, activity measures, and expected activity:
Estimated Expected
Activity Cost Pools Activity Measures Overhead Cost Product C1 Product M2 Total
Labor-related DLHs $558,452 7,200 7,700 14,900
Production orders Orders 75,240 500 600 1,100
General factory MHs 886,410 4,400 4,600 9,000
$1,520,102
The total cost per unit of Product C4 under activity-based costing is closest to: ____________
Answer:
Unitary cost= $4,207.85
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Product C4:
Production= 200 units
Direct labor hours per unit= 1
Total DLH= 200
The direct labor rate is $27.40 per DLH.
The direct materials cost per unit is $267
Activity Cost Pools - Overhead Cost - Product C4 - Total
Labor-related DLHs $558,452 - 7,700 - 14,900
Production orders Orders $75,240 - 600 - 1,100
General factory MHs $886,410 - 4,600 - 9,000
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate for each activity:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Labor-related= 558,452/14,900= $37.48 per DLH
Production orders= 75,240/1,100= $68.4 per order
General factory= 886,410/9,000= $98.49 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate overhead to C4 as a whole:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Labor-related= 37.48*7,700= $288,596
Production orders= 68.4*600= $41,040
General factory= 98.49*4,600= $453,054
Total= $782,690
Finally, the total cost and cost per unit:
Total cost= 200*267 + 200*27.4 + 782,690
Total cost= $841,570
Unitary cost= 841,570/200= $4,207.85

Milani, Inc., acquired 10 percent of Seida Corporation on January 1, 2017, for $197,000 and appropriately accounted for the investment using the fair-value method. On January 1, 2018, Milani purchased an additional 30 percent of Seida for $600,000 which resulted in significant influence over Seida. On that date, the fair value of Seida's common stock was $2,000,000 in total. Seida's January 1, 2018 book value equaled $1,850,000, although land was undervalued by $120,000. Any additional excess fair value over Seida's book value was attributable to a trademark with an 8-year remaining life. During 2018, Seida reported income of $300,000 and declared and paid dividends of $110,000. Prepare the 2018 journal entries for Milani related to its investment in Seida.

Scenario: Your direct supervisor is interested in a project you are currently working on, and they have asked to increase the scope to increase the department's goals. How would you respond if your supervisor was not the project sponsor?
Scenario: Your direct supervisor is interested in a project you are currently working on, and they have asked to increase the scope to increase the department's goals. How would you respond if your supervisor was not the project sponsor?
ANSWER:
Take down his/her suggestions. The first thing is to show respect. Accept thoughts and contributions towards that project. Most times a project "sponsor" is not someone who is a professional in the field or discipline that the project is about.
If your direct supervisor has the idea of increasing the scope of the project, take note of his/her reasons and if they will truly bring the achievement of more departmental goals, then relay the idea of expansion to the project sponsor.
Answer:
At this point, the important thing is to remain calm and in control. Your supervisor, like everyone else, is likely to get confused and blame people for things that are not their fault, or even find fault that does not exist.
In that case, you should wait for him to finish speaking, ask for permission to speak and explain how you did your job and show how your supervisor is wrong about the conclusion he made. This must be done calmly and politely, always maintaining respect.
Explanation:
A copy machine acquired on July 1 with a cost of $1,450 has an estimated useful life of four years. Assuming that it will have a residual value of $250, determine the depreciation for the first year by the double-declining-balance method.
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $300
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchasing price= $1,450
Salvage value= $250
Useful life= 4 years
First, we need to determine the annual depreciation for the whole year using the following formula:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]
Annual depreciation= 2*[(1,450 - 250) / 4]
Annual depreciation= $600
Now, for 6 months:
Annual depreciation= (600/12)*6= $300
You purchase a bond with an invoice price of $1,410. The bond has a coupon rate of 6.8 percent, and there are 3 months to the next semiannual coupon date. What is the clean price of the bond? Assume a par value of $1,000.
Answer:
clean price = $1,393
Explanation:
The clean price of the bond does not include any accrued interests. The invoice price = clean price + accrued interests
invoice price = $1,410accrued interests = $1,000 x 0.068 x 3/12 = $17clean price = invoice price - accrued interests = $1,410 - $17 = $1,393
International trade promotes economic growth when it allows any two countries to grow (in their combined production) beyond (above) their pre-trade production possibilities curve (PPC).
a. True
b. False
Answer: True
Explanation:
The Production Possibilities Curve (PPC) is meant to illustrate how a country produces goods and services given the limited resources it has. The curve represents the various amounts that have to be traded off of 2 goods to produce more or less of one good.
The Curve shows that it is best that a country produces those goods that is good at producing so that it can produce more of it and then trade with the rest of the world for the goods it isn't too efficient at producing. If both countries involved in the trade are able to grow beyond (above) their pre-trade production possibilities curve then the trade would have promoted economic growth.

Periodic interest rates. You have a savings account in which you leave the funds for one year without adding to or withdrawing from the account. Which would you rather have: a daily compounded rate of 0.050%, a weekly compounded rate of 0.355%, a monthly compounded rate of 1.15%, a quarterly compounded rater of 4.25%, a semiannually compounded rate of 7.5%, or an annually compounded rate of 18%? What is the effective annual rate (EAR) of a daily compounded rate of 0.050%?
Answer:
Choose an annually compounded rate of 18%
The effective annual rate (EAR) of a daily compounded rate of 0.050% is 0.05001%.
Explanation:
We need to find the effective annual rate of interest for each nominal interest and compare this for the different alternatives.
The effective annual rate of interest is the annual rate that if compounded once a year would give us the same result as the same result as the interest per period compounded a number of times a year.
Conversion of Nominal to Effective Interest Rate.

Roger purchased a stock for $16 a share. The stock paid a $1 annual dividend and increased in price by $2 a year for the following three years. What is the arithmetic average annual capital gain
Answer:
The answer is 11.2%
Explanation:
Cost of acquisition: $16 per share
Annual dividend: $1
The stock increases by $2 every year for 3 years. Therefore, we have:
First year is $16 per share
Second year is $18 per share
Third year is $20 per share.
The arithmetic average annual capital gain will be
($2/$16 + $2/$18 + $2/$20)/3
(0.125 + 0.111 + 0.1) / 3
0.336/3
0.112
Expressed as a percentage:
= 11.2%
Consider Figure 9.2 on page 205 of our textbook. Suppose P0 is $10 and P1 is $11. Suppose a new firm with the same LRAC curve as the incumbent tries to break into the market by selling 4,000 units of output. Estimate from the graph what the new firm's average cost of producing output would be. If the incumbent continues to produce 6,000 units, how much output would be supplied to the market by the two firms? Estimate what would happen to the market price as a result of the supply of both the incumbent firm and the new entrant. Approximately how much profit would each firm earn ?
Answer:
The 10,000 units of output that will be supplied by the two firms to the market.
Profit that each firm would earn will be higher than previous.
Explanation:
The firm selling 4,000 units at the price of $10 per unit. If the output is increased to 6,000 units the price will increase to $11 per unit. If the new 6,000 units are produced along with the previous 4,000 units then the total output supplied by the two firms will be 10,000 units (6,000 + 4,000). The supply of goods in the market will increase so price will fall and the revenue for the firms will decline but they can benefit with sales volume and their profit can increase.
The 10,000 units of output will be supplied by the two firms to the market.
The profit that each firm would earn will be higher than the previous.
Calculation of the number of units and profits:Here the firm sells 4,000 units at the price of $10 per unit. And, in the case when the output is increased to 6,000 units the price will increase to $11 per unit.
And, In the case when the new 6,000 units are produced along with the previous 4,000 units so the total output supplied by the two firms will be 10,000 units.
The supply of goods in the market should increase due to which the price will fall and the revenue for the firms will decline however they can benefit with sales volume and their profit can increase.

From studying Geert Hofstede’s cultural dimensions, what differences exist between the United States and Brazil that may be relevant to your communication? 2. How can you use words to relate to each audience? 3. What images will you use for each audience?
Answer:
what differences exist between the United States and Brazil that may be relevant to your communication?
Using Geert Hofstede's cultural dimensions as a framework, we can determine that the United States is higher on individualism while Brazil is higher on collectivism.
The United States is also higher on restraint, while Brazil is higher on indulgence.
2. How can you use words to relate to each audience?
For the United States, you should use words that motivate individuals. For Brazil, you should words that motivate collective groups.
3. What images will you use for each audience?
Again, for the United States, you should use images that represent individualistic cultural values, while the opposite should be used for Brazil: picture that represent more collectivist cultural values.
The Oriole Acres Inn is trying to determine its break-even point during its off-peak season. The inn has 50 rooms that it rents at $100 a night. Operating costs are as follows:
Salaries $7,500 per month
Utilities $1,500 per month
Depreciation $1,300 per month
Maintenance $1,760 per month
Maid service $24 per room
Other costs $46 per room
Determine the inn’s break-even point in number of rented rooms per month.
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 402 rooms a month
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The inn has 50 rooms that it rents at $100 a night. Operating costs are as follows:
Salaries $7,500 per month
Utilities $1,500 per month
Depreciation $1,300 per month
Maintenance $1,760 per month
Maid service $24 per room
Other costs $46 per room
First, we need to calculate the total fixed costs and the unitary variable cost.
Total fixed costs= salaries + utilities + depreciation + maintenance
Total fixed costs= $12,060
Unitary variable cost= 24 + 46= $70
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 12,060/ (100 - 70)
Break-even point in units= 402 rooms a month
During the last five years, average daily occupancy at Autumn Acres nursing home has slid from 125 to 95 even though Autumn Acres has cut its daily rate from $125 to $115. Do these data suggest that occupancy would have been higher if Autumn Acres had raised its rates? What changes in nonprice demand factors might explain this change? (The supply, or the number of nursing home beds in the area, has not changed during this period.)
Answer:
no
Decline in the number of aged people in the population
The quality of care offered might have declined
Preference to be cared for at home instead of at care home
increase in death rate among the elderly
Explanation:
Even though, there seem to be a positive correlation between the price of daily rates and occupancy. it doesn't imply that increasing the rates would increase occupancy rates. there might be other factors explaining the decline.
some of these factors include :
1. decline in the number of the aged in the population : if the proportion of the aged in the population has reduced, the nursing home would experience a decline in residents
2. if the quality of care received by patients has also reduced, the aged might prefer other nursing homes.
3. there might be a shift in reference. the aged might prefer to be cared for at home by family and friends instead of staying in a nursing home.
Increase in death rate among the elderly : if there is an increase in mortality rate, the care home would experience a decline in occupancy

Bee Inc. is working on its cash budget for March. The budgeted beginning cash balance is $55,000. Budgeted cash receipts total $139,000 and budgeted cash disbursements total $134,000. The desired ending cash balance is $80,000. To attain its desired ending cash balance for March, the company needs to borrow:
Answer:
$20,000
Explanation:
The computation of the borrowed amount is shown below:
As we know that
Ending cash balance = beginning cash balance + cash receipts - cash disbursements + cash borrowings
$80,000 = $55,000 + $139,000 - $134,000 +cash borrowings
$80,000 = $194,000 - $134,000 + cash borrowings
So, the borrowing is $20,000
You are thinking of building a new machine that will sve you 2,000 in the first year the machine will then begin to wear out so that the savings decline at a rate of 4% per year forever. What is the present value of the savings if the interest rate is 5% per year? (Hint: this is a growing perpetuity.)
Answer:
The present value of the savings is $22222.22
Explanation:
A perpetuity is an indefinite series of equal payments made after equal intervals of time and for an unlimited period. A growing perpetuity is a kind of perpetuity whose period payments are not equal and they grow(or decline) at a constant rate each period for an indefinite period of time.
The formula for the present value of a growing perpetuity is attached.
The present value of the savings can be calculated as follows,
Present value = 2000 / (0.05 - (-0.04)
Present value = 2000 / (0.05 + 0.04)
Present value = 2000 / 0.09
Present value = $22222.22

A Quality Analyst wants to construct a control chart for determining whether three machines, all producing the same product, are under control with regard to a particular quality variable. Accordingly, he sampled four units of output from each machine, with the following results:
Machine Measurements
Number1 17 15 15 17
Number2 16 25 18 25
Number3 23 24 23 22
What is the estimate of the process mean for whenever it is under control?
a. 16
b. 19
c. 20
d. 21
e. 23
Answer:
c. 20
Explanation:
The summary of the given information shows that a Quality Analyst sampled four units of output from each machine, with the following results:
Machine Measurements
Number 1 17 15 15 17
Number 2 16 25 18 25
Number 3 23 24 23 22
In order to determine the estimate of the process mean for whenever it is under control, we need to find the mean of each Machine and find the average of the three machines together
i.e
For Machine Number 1 ;
Mean = (17+15+15+17)/4
Mean = 64/4
Mean = 16
For Machine Number 2 ;
Mean = (16+25+18+25)/4
Mean = 84/4
Mean = 21
For Machine Number 3;
Mean = ( 23+24+23+22)/4
Mean = 92/4
Mean = 23
∴
The estimate of the process mean for whenever it is under control
= (16 + 21 + 23)/3
The estimate of the process mean for whenever it is under control = 60/3
The estimate of the process mean for whenever it is under control = 20
