Answer:
Declining unit manufacturing costs while prices can remain high.
Explanation:
A product life cycle can be defined as the stages or phases that a particular product passes through, from the period it was introduced into the market to the period when it is eventually removed from the market.
Generally, there are four (4) stages in the product-life cycle;
1. Introduction.
2. Growth.
3. Maturity.
4. Decline.
Generally, the growth stage is the stage where the product gains acceptance from the consumer and there is a significant increase in demand and sales.
Profit margins tend to peak during the growth stage of the Product Life Cycle. This is due to declining unit manufacturing costs while prices can remain high because the product has been accepted in the market and its unit cost of production is lesser i.e they are manufactured in bulk.

Huron Company produces a commercial cleaning compound known as Zoom. The direct materials and direct labor standards for one unit of Zoom are given below:
Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost
Direct materials 4.6 pounds $2.50 per pound $11.50
Direct labor 0.2 hours $18.00 per hour $3.60
During the most recent month, the following activity was recorded:
a. Twenty thousand pounds of material were purchased at a cost of $2.35 per pound.
b. All of the material purchased was used to produce 4,000 units of Zoom.
c. 750 hours of direct labor time were recorded at a total labor cost of $14,925.
Required:
Compute the materials price and quantity variances for the month.
Answer:
AQ = Actual quantity = 20,000 pounds
AP = Actual price = $2.35 per pound.
SQ = Standard quantity = 4,000 units*4.6 pounds per unit = 18,400 pounds
SP = Standard price = $2.50 per unit
AH = Actual hours = 750 hours.
AR = Actual rate = Total actual cost/Actual hours = $14,925/750 hours = $19.90.
SH= Standard hours = 0.2 hours per unit*4,000 units = 800 hours.
SR = Standard rate = $18 per hour
Materials price variance = (AQ *AP) - (AQ *SP) =
Materials price variance = (20,000*$2.35) - (20,000 *$2.50)
Materials price variance = $47,000 - $50,000
Materials price variance = $3,000 (F)
Material quantity variance = (AQ*SP) - (SQ*SP)
Material quantity variance = (20,000*$2.50) - (18,400*$2.50)
Material quantity variance = $50,000 - $46,000
Material quantity variance = $4,000 (U)

The Sunland Inc., a manufacturer of low-sugar, low-sodium, low-cholesterol TV dinners, would like to increase its market share in the Sunbelt. In order to do so, Sunland has decided to locate a new factory in the Panama City area. Sunland will either buy or lease a site depending upon which is more advantageous. The site location committee has narrowed down the available sites to the following three very similar buildings that will meet their needs. Building A: Purchase for a cash price of $612,100, useful life 26 years. Building B: Lease for 26 years with annual lease payments of $71,490 being made at the beginning of the year. Building C: Purchase for $655,200 cash. This building is larger than needed; however, the excess space can be sublet for 26 years at a net annual rental of $6,850. Rental payments will be received at the end of each year. The Sunland Inc. has no aversion to being a landlord.
Instructions:
In which building would you recommend that Brubaker Inc. locate, assuming a 12% cost of funds?
Answer:
Building C
Explanation:
To solve this, we find the present value of each of the buildings.
Building A: We are told that it is to be Purchased for a cash price of $612,100, useful life 26 years. Thus;
PV = $612000
Building B: PV = 71490 + (71490 × ((1+r)ⁿ - 1)/(r(1+r)ⁿ)
Where,
r = 12% = 0.12
n = 26 - 1 = 25
Thus;
PV = 71490 + (71490 × (1 + 0.12)^(25) -1)/(0.12(1 + 0.12)^25)
PV = = $632196
Building C:
PV = 655200 - 6850 × ((1+r)ⁿ - 1)/(r(1+r)ⁿ)
Where;
r = 12% = 0.12
n=26
Thus;
PV = 655200 - (6850 × (1 + 0.12)^(25) -1)/(0.12(1 + 0.12)^25)
PV = $601474
Thus, the minimum PV is building C and therefore it is the one I will recommend that Brubaker Inc. locate

New Zealand and Spain each produce apples and plums. New Zealand can produce a maximum of 60 apples or 15 plums or some combination of both. Spain can produce a maximum of 60 apples or 60 plums or some combination of both. If they decide to specialize and trade, the trade rate is 25 apples for 17 plums.a. Which nation should specialize in plums and which should specialize in apples
Answer:
New Zealand should specialize in apples.
Spain should specialize in plums.
Explanation:
As per the given production possibility tables, New Zealand must produce maximum apples in the available resources while Spain is able to produce maximum plums with the given resources. To produce 1 plum, New Zealand requires resources equivalent to 4 apples. This shows that New Zealand needs to specialize in apples for efficient utilization of resources. Although the cost of producing plum and apple is almost equivalent for Spain since, New Zealand is already involved in producing apples, It must go for Plums.
Palpatine runs a facial cream business. He can make 100,000 bottles of facial cream per year and sell them for $3.50 each. It costs Palpatine $250,000 for the raw materials to produce the facial cream. Additionally, he must pay $30,000 annually to rent the factory needed to produce his cream. In order to start his business Palpatine withdrew $200,000 from his own savings account. The bank is currently paying a 3% interest rate on saving accounts. Before Palpatine opened his business he worked as a political consultant where he earned $80,000 per year.
What is the total revenue Palpatine earns in a year?
What are the explicit costs Palpatine incurs while producing bottles of facial cream? [2 Points]
(c) What are the implicit costs Palpatine incurs while producing bottles of facial cream? [2 Points]
(d) What is the amount of Palpatine’s accounting profit? [2 Points]
(e) What is the amount of Palpatine’s economic profit?
Answer:
a. Total revenue:
= Bottles produced * selling price
= 100,000 * 3.50
= $350,000
b. Explicit costs:
Actual costs incurred.
= Raw materials + Rent + investment
= 250,000 + 30,000 + 200,000
= $480,000
c. Implicit costs:
Opportunity costs of going into the facial cream business.
= Amount he would have earned as interest + political consultant salary
= (3% * 200,000) + 80,000
= 6,000 + 80,000
= $86,000
d. Accounting profit:
= Revenue - explicit costs
= 350,000 - 480,000
= -$130,000
e. Economic profit
= Revenue - explicit costs - implicit costs
= 350,000 - 480,000 - 86,000
= -$216,000

Hence, the second option is correct
Aggie Corporation made a distribution of $571,000 to Rusty Cedar in partial liquidation of the company on December 31 of this year. Rusty, an individual, owns 100 shares (100 percent) of Aggie Corporation. The distribution was in exchange for 50 percent of Rusty’s stock in the company. At the time of the distribution, the shares had a fair market value of $150 per share. Rusty’s income tax basis in the shares was $37 per share. Aggie had total E&P of $8,275,000 at the time of the distribution.
a. What is the amount and character (capital gain or dividend) of any income or gain recognized per share by Rusty as a result of the partial liquidation?
b. Assuming Aggie made no other distributions to Rusty during the year, by what amount does Aggie reduce its total E&P as a result of the partial liquidation?
Answer:
A. $113
B. $571,000
Explanation:
A. Calculation for What is the amount and character (capital gain or dividend)
Using this formula
Capital gain or dividend=Fair market value -Income tax basis
Let plug in the formula
Capital gain or dividend=$150 per share-$37 per share
Capital gain or dividend=$113
Therefore the amount and character (capital gain or dividend) of any income or gain recognized per share by Rusty as a result of the partial liquidation is $113
B. Calculation for the amount that Aggie reduce its total E&P as a result of the partial liquidation
Based on the information given in a situation where the liquidation is been treated as an exchange, it means that Aggie will either lower its E&P by the amount of ($571,000) or by the pro-rata amount of the E&P which is calculated as (50% × $8,275,000 = $4,137,5000).
Therefore the amount that Aggie will reduce its total E&P as a result of the partial liquidation will be the amount of $571,000.

According to the theory of comparative advantage, consumers in all nations can consume more if there are
Answer:
no restrictions on trade
Explanation:
Comparative advantage in economics is the ability of an individual or country to produce a specific good or service at a lower opportunity cost better than another individual or country.
The comparative advantage gives a country a stronger sales margin than their competitors as they are able to sell their specific products or render their peculiar services at a lower opportunity cost.
In 1817, David Ricardo who is an english political economist talked about the law of comparative advantage in his book “On the Principles of Political Economy and Taxation." where he asserted that countries can become better off by specializing in what they do or produce best and eliminate trade barriers (restrictions).
This simply means that, any country applying the principle of comparative advantage, would enjoy an increase in output and consequently, a boost in their Gross Domestic Products (GDP).
Hence, according to the theory of comparative advantage, consumers in all nations can consume more if there are no restrictions on trade.

Activity-Based Costing for a Service Business Sterling Hotel uses activity-based costing to determine the cost of servicing customers. There are three activity pools: guest check-in, room cleaning, and meal service. The activity rates associated with each activity pool are $8.40 per guest check-in, $21.00 per room cleaning, and $4.00 per served meal (not including food). Julie Stone visited the hotel for a 6-night stay. Julie had 3 meals in the hotel during the visit. Determine the total monthly activity-based cost for Washington during the month.
Answer:
Total allocated cost= $146.4
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Julie Stone visited the hotel for a 6-night stay.
Julie had 3 meals in the hotel during the visit.
guest check-in= $8.40 per guest check-in
room cleaning= $21.00 per room cleaning
meal service= $4.00 per served meal
To allocate costs based on the activity, we need to use the following formula:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
guest check-in= 8.40*1= 8.4
room cleaning= 21.00*6= 126
meal service= 4.00*3= 12
Total allocated cost= $146.4

Using FIFO for Multiproduct Inventory Transactions (Chapters 6 and 7) [LO 6-3, LO 6-4, LO 7-3] Skip to question [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] FindMe Inc., (FI) has developed a coin-sized tracking tag that attaches to key rings, wallets, and other items and can be prompted to emit a signal using a smartphone app. FI sells these tags, as well as water-resistant cases for the tags, with terms FOB shipping point. Assume FI has no inventory at the beginning of the month, and it has outsourced the production of its tags and cases. FI uses FIFO and has entered into the following transactions:
Jan. 2: FI purchased and received 260 tags from Xioasi Manufacturing (XM) at a cost of $7 per tag, n/15.
Jan. 4: FI purchased and received 60 cases from Bachittar Products (BP) at a cost of $2 per case, n/20.
Jan. 6: FI paid cash for the tags purchased from XM on Jan. 2.
Jan. 8: FI mailed 160 tags via the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to customers at a price of $30 per tag, on account.
Jan. 11: FI purchased and received 360 tags from XM at a cost of $10 per tag, n/15.
Jan. 14: FI purchased and received 160 cases from BP at a cost of $3 per case, n/20.
Jan. 16: FI paid cash for the cases purchased from BP on Jan. 4.
Jan. 19: FI mailed 120 cases via the USPS to customers at a price of $15 per case, on account.
Jan. 21: FI mailed 260 tags to customers at a price of $30 per tag.
1. Calculate the dollars of gross profit and the gross profit percentage from selling tags and cases.
2. Which product line yields more dollars of profit? - Which product line yields more profit per dollar of sales?
3. Calculate the dollars of gross profit and the gross profit percentage from selling tags and cases. (Round your "Gross Profit Percentage" answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
1-a. Dollars of gross profit from selling tags = $9,180
1-b. Dollars of gross profit from selling cases = $1,500
1-c. Gross profit percentage from selling tags = 72.86%
1.d. Gross profit percentage from selling cases = 83.33%
2-a. Tag yields more dollars of profit.
2-b. Tag yields more profit per dollar of sales.
Explanation:
Note: The requirements for this question are two not three as erroneously stated. This is because, the first and the third question are the same. Therefore, the two relevant requirements of the question are:
1. Calculate the dollars of gross profit and the gross profit percentage from selling tags and cases.
2. Which product line yields more dollars of profit? - Which product line yields more profit per dollar of sales?
The explanation of the answers is now given as follows:
1. Calculate the dollars of gross profit and the gross profit percentage from selling tags and cases.
Sales revenue from tags = Sales value of 160 tags mailed to customers on Jan. 8 at a price of $30 per tag + Sales value of 260 tags mailed to customers on Jan. 21 at a price of $30 per tag = (160 * $30) + (260 * $30) = $12,600
Sales revenue from cases = Sales value of 120 cases mailed to customers on Jan. 19 at a price of $15 per case = 120 * $15 = $1,800
Total number of tags sold = 160 tags mailed to customers + 260 tags mailed to customers on Jan. 21 = 420
Total number of cases sold = 120 cases mailed to customers on Jan. 19 at a price of $15 per case = 120
Using FIFO, we have:
Cost of tags sold = Value of 260 tags purchased on Jan.2 from Xioasi Manufacturing (XM) at a cost of $7 per tag + Value of the remaining 160 (i.e. 420 – 260 = 160) tags sold based on the 360 tags purchased on Jan. 11 from XM at a cost of $10 per tag = (260 * $7) + (160 * $10) = $3,420
Cost of cases sold = Value of 60 cases purchased on Jan.4 from Bachittar Products (BP) at a cost of $2 per case + Value of the remaining 60 cases sold based on the 160 cases purchased on Jan. 14 from BP at a cost of $3 per case = (60 * $2) + (60 * $3) = $300
Therefore, we have:
1-a. Dollars of gross profit from selling tags = Sales revenue from tags - Cost of tags sold = $12,600 - $3,420 = $9,180
1-b. Dollars of gross profit from selling cases = Sales revenue from cases - Cost of cases sold = $1,800 - $300 = $1,500
1-c. Gross profit percentage from selling tags = (Dollars of gross profit from selling tags / Sales revenue from tags) * 100 = ($9,180 / $12,600) * 100 = 72.86%
1.d. Gross profit percentage from selling cases = (Dollars of gross profit from selling cases / Sales revenue from cases) * 100 = 83.33%
2. Which product line yields more dollars of profit? - Which product line yields more profit per dollar of sales?
2-a. Which product line yields more dollars of profit?
From part 1 above, we have:
Dollars of gross profit from selling tags = $9,180
Dollars of gross profit from selling cases = $1,500
Since the dollars of gross profit from selling tags of $9,180 is greater than the dollars of gross profit from selling cases of $1,500, this implies that Tag yields more dollars of profit.
2-b. Which product line yields more profit per dollar of sales?
From part 1 above, we have:
Total number of tags sold = 420
Total number of cases sold = 120
Therefore, we have:
Tag's profit per dollar of sales = Dollars of gross profit from selling tags / Total number of tags sold = $9,180 / 420 = $21.86
Case's profit per dollar of sales = Dollars of gross profit from selling cases / Total number of cases sold = $1,500 / 120 = $12.50
Since Tag's profit per dollar of sales of $21.86 is greater than Case's profit per dollar of sales of $12.50, this implies that Tag yields more profit per dollar of sales.
Ignacio and Perla are married and both are government employees. They contribute 22) money to various organizations each year and file a joint return. Their adjusted gross income for 2018 is $100,000. They contributed to the following organizations in 2018:

$10,000 to the Salvation Army
$2,000 to a local city council candidate
$11,000 to a breast cancer research hospital
Donated clothing to Goodwill. (Ignacio purchased the items for $375, but the thrift shop value of the same items at a local second-hand store is equal to S60.)
How much can Ignacio and Perla deduct as charitable contributions for the year 2018?
A) $26,560.
B) $25,710
C) $26,500.
D) S24,560.
Answer: D. $24,560
Explanation:
The contributions to charity and the clothing to Goodwill can be considered charitable deductions but the goodwill clothing must be value at second-hand value.
= Donation to WWF + Salvation Army + Breast Cancer research + Goodwill
= 3,500 + 10,000 + 11,000 + 60
= $24,560
Suppose you win on a scratch‑off lottery ticket and you decide to put all of your $3,500 winnings in the bank. The reserve requirement is 10%. What is the maximum possible increase in the money supply as a result of your bank deposit? Which events could cause the increase in the money supply to be less than its potential?
A. Banks decide to keep some excess reserves on hand.
B. Banks choose to loan out all excess reserves.
C. All money loaned out is deposited back into the banking system.
D. Some loan recipients choose to hold some cash instead of depositing all of it in banks.
Answer:
35000
A, d
Explanation:
Reserve requirement is the portion of deposit received by banks that the central bank requires to be kept as deposit.
If $3500 is deposited and reserve requirement is 10%
reserves would increase by $3500 x 0.10 = $350
Increase in the total value of checkable deposit is determined by the money multiplier
Money multiplier = amount deposited / reserve requirement
3500 / 0.1 = 35000
If the banks keep excess reserves, the amount of money available to be loaned out would reduce and this would reduce the increase in money supply.
Also, if individuals keep the money at home, it would reduce the amount of money that can be loaned out by banks

A labor crew for placing concrete consists of one labor foreman at $26.09 per hour, one cement finisher at $29.30 per hour, 6 laborers at $24.45 per hour each, and one equipment operator at $34.5 per hour. Such a crew, called a C20 crew, can place 178 cubic yards of concrete per 8-hour day. Determine the cost per day of labor for the C20 crew. The cost per day is determined to be $ _______.
Answer:
Total cost per day= $1,892.72
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Foreman= 26.09 per hour
Cement finisher= 29.3 per hour
Labor= 24.45 per hour
Equipment operator= 34.5 per hour
To calculate the total cost for one day of work, we need to multiply the hourly rate by the total number of hours.
Total cost per day= 26.09*8 + 29.3*8 + (24.45*6)*8 + 34.5*8
Total cost per day= $1,892.72
usiness Solutions sells upscale modular desk units and office chairs in the ratio of 3:2 (desk unit:chair). The selling prices are $1,250 per desk unit and $500 per chair. The variable costs are $750 per desk unit and $250 per chair. Fixed costs are $120,000. Required: 1. Compute the selling price per composite unit. 2. Compute the variable costs per composite unit. 3. Compute the break-even point in composite units. 4. Compute the number of units of each product that w
Answer:
1. Selling price per composite unit = Price of desk unit * (Ratio of desk unit) + Price of chair * (Ratio of chair)
= $1250*(3) + $500*(2)
= $3,750 + $1,000
= $4,750
2. Variable costs per composite unit = Variable cost per desk unit * (Ratio of desk unit) + Variable cost per chair * (Ratio of chair)
= $750*(3) + $250*(2)
= $2,250 + $500
= $2,750
3. Break even point in composite units = Fixed costs / (Composite selling price - Composite variable cost)
= $120,000 / ($4750 - $2750)
= $120,000 / $2000
= 60 units
4. Number desk units sold at break even point = 60 composite units* 3 per composite unit = 180 units
Number of chairs sold at break even point = 60 composite units * 2 per composite unit = 120 units
