Joey's Lawn cutting Service rents office space from Joey's dad for $300 per month. Joey's dad is thinking of increasing the rent to $400 per month (but will not change the cost of mowing an additional lawn). As a result, after the rent hike, Joey's marginal cost of cutting grass will a. increase by $100 divided by the amount of grass cut. b. increase by $100. c. decrease by $100. d. not change.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

not change

Explanation:

marginal cost is the change in cost by increasing production by one unit. Joey's marginal cost would be unaffected by the increase in rent because Joey has not increased the amount of grass he cuts.

the rents constitutes a fixed cost. Fixed cost is cost that does not vary with production

Exercise D Viking Corporation is operating at 80% of capacity, which means it produces 8,000 units. Variable cost is $100 per unit. Wholesaler Y offers to buy 2,000 additional units at $120 per unit. Wholesaler Z proposes to buy 1,500 additional units at $140 per unit. Which offer, if either, should Viking Corporation accept

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The variable cost is $100 per unit.

Wholesaler Y offers to buy 2,000 additional units at $120 per unit.

Wholesaler Z proposes to buy 1,500 additional units at $140 per unit.

We need to choose the best alternative, in this case, the one with the higher increase in income:

Effect on income= total contribution margin

Wholesaler Y:

Effect on income= 2,000*(120 - 100)= $40,000 increase

Wholesaler Z:

Effect on income= 1,500*(140 - 100)= $60,000 increase

The best option is to sell the units to Wholesaler Z. If Wholesaler Y accepts, you can still sell 500 more units.

SilverFinn makes high-end jewelry for women. This jewelry is manufactured and patented in Italy. Manufacturers in Argentina create counterfeit SilverFinn jewelry and sell it in local markets at nearly similar prices to the original SilverFinn jewelry sold in other countries. This lack of intellectual property protection is like to result in

Answers

Answer: a. reduction in export opportunities from Argentina to other countries.

Explanation:

SilverFinn jewellery probably has intellectual property protection in other countries so when Argentinian producers make those counterfeits, they will be unable to sell it outside Argentina where it would not be allowed to be sold. This will reduce the export opportunities from Argentina to other countries.

It may also reduce the export opportunities of other goods from Argentina because other countries might be slow to trust that what Argentina is sending are indeed genuine goods because they have been known to counterfeit SilverFinn jewelry.

Centore Inc. has provided the following data for the month of June. There were no beginning inventories; consequently, the direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead applied listed below are all for the current month. Work In Process Finished Goods Cost of Goods Sold Total Direct materials $ 650 $ 7,590 $ 24,860 $ 33,100 Direct labor 2,180 20,700 67,800 90,680 Manufacturing overhead applied 930 7,130 22,940 31,000 Total $ 3,760 $ 35,420 $ 115,600 $ 154,780 Manufacturing overhead for the month was underapplied by $3,000. The company allocates any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead among work in process, finished goods, and cost of goods sold at the end of the month on the basis of the overhead applied during the month in those accounts. The work in process inventory at the end of June after allocation of any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead for the month is closest to:

Answers

Answer:

$3,833

Explanation:

The computation of the work in process inventory after allocating the underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead for the month is shown below:

But before that we need to compute the amount i.e added which is given below

Amount added is

= Total work in process × manufacturing overhead underapplied ÷ total cost

= $3,760 × $3,000 ÷$154,780

= $72.88

Now the amount of work in process inventory at the end of June is

= $3,760 + $72.88

= $3,833

A monopolist has four distinct groups of customers. Group A has an elasticity of demand of​ 0.2, B has an elasticity of demand of​ 0.8, C has an elasticity of demand of​ 1.0, and D has an elasticity of demand of 2.0. The group paying the highest price for the product will be

Answers

Answer:  Group A

Explanation:

Price Elasticity of demand refers to the sensitivity of quantity demanded given a change in price. In other words, how much will quantity demanded change if price changes. Higher elastcities mean that when prices change, their quantity demanded changes more. For instance, an elasticity of demand of 2 means that when prices rise by 2%, demand will decrease by 4%.

The group that will be paying the most therefore will have to be the group that is least sensitive to paying that high price. That would be Group A. As they are not very sensitive to price changes with an elasticity of 0.2, the Monopoly can increase their price to a higher point than others knowing that they won't demand less goods.

a friend wants to borrow money from you. He states that he will pay you $3000 every 6 months for 12 years with the first payment exactly 3 years and six months from today. The interest rate is an APR of 5.3 percent with semiannual compounding. What is the value of the payments today?

Answers

Answer:

$45,111.41

Explanation:

For calculation of value of the payments today first we need to find out the value at 3 years which is shown below:-

Value at 3 years = PMT × (1 - (1 ÷ (1 + r^n))) ÷ r

= $3,000 × (1 - (1 ÷ (1.0265 ^24))) ÷ 0.0265

= $52,776.45

Now, The value of the payment today = Value at 3 year ÷ (1 + r^n)

= $52,776.45 ÷ (1.0265^6)

= $45,111.41

Therefore we have applied the above formula.

Cammie received 100 NQOs (each option provides a right to purchase 10 shares of MNL stock for $10 per share) at the time she started working for MNL Corporation (5/1/Y1) four years ago when MNL’s stock price was $8 per share. Now that MNL’s stock price is $40 per share (8/15/Y5), she intends to exercise all of her options. After acquiring the 1,000 MNL shares with her options, she held the shares for over one year (10/1/Y6) and sold them at $60 per share.

b. What are MNL Corporation’s tax savings on the grant date (5/1/Y1), exercise date (8/15/Y5), and sale date (10/1/Y6)?

Answers

Answer:

b. What are MNL Corporation’s tax savings on the grant date (5/1/Y1), exercise date (8/15/Y5), and sale date (10/1/Y6)?

MNL Corporation will have no tax effects on the grant date and (5/1/Y1) and the date that Cammie sold the stocks (10/1/Y6).

The only tax effect results from the exercise date (8/15/Y5). Tax savings = (total amount of stocks exercised x market price at the time) x marginal tax rate = (1,000 stocks x $40) x tax rate = $40,000 x tax rate

Since no marginal tax rate is given in the question, we can calculate it for different options:

if tax rate = 21%, then tax savings = $40,000 x 21% = $8,400if tax rate = 35%, then tax savings = $40,000 x 35% = $14,000

Barbara Hastings has no children of her own, but she does have a beloved niece named Ellen Laughridge. Attentive to the future financial needs of Ellen, Barbara secures a $500,000 life insurance contract from Chameleon Insurance Company, listing Ellen as the sole beneficiary. Barbara has every intention to inform Ellen of her new life insurance policy, but "life gets in the way," and she neglects to do so. Hastings dies on January 15, 2005. As part of her estate distribution, Ellen receives a chest-of-drawers from her dear aunt. On August 29, 2007, while rearranging her clothing in the chest-of-drawers, Ellen comes upon a secret compartment. In the secret compartment is an original copy of the life insurance contract. Ellen is overjoyed to see her name listed as beneficiary, and she contacts Chameleon Insurance Company immediately. Upon review of the policy, Chameleon denies coverage. Chameleon’s claims representative points to Section 15(b) of the policy, which specifically requires notification of the insured’s death no later than one year after death. It has been over two years and seven months since Barbara Hastings died. 1. Will Ellen recover the $500,000 in insurance proceeds? 2. Is it ethical for an insurance company to deny a claim on the basis of a "technicality?"

Answers

Answer:

1. Ellen would only be able to recover the $500,000 insurance proceed if she should be able to find a technicality in the insurance company's rules and regulation. This is because, strictly following the rules, there is nothing she can do regarding to the claim.

2. It is not ethical for the insurance company to deny the claim of Ellen on the basis of technicality but when viewed from another perspective, they are strictly following the rules of the insurance organization and applying it to the later. It is now left for the claimant to find another technicality on why he or she must be paid the insurance claim.

Then again, are they both true or both false? Statement 1: People decide to have fewer children. The demand curve for minivans will shift to the right. Statement 2: The stock market crashes lowering people’s wealth (Hint: Minivan would be considered a normal good). The demand curve for minivans will shift to the right.

Answers

Answer:

both statements are false

Explanation:

if People decide to have fewer children, there would be less demand for minivans as a result the demand curve would shift to the left.

also, if The stock market crashes lowering people’s wealth and minivans are normal goods, the demand for minivans would fall and the demand curve would shift to the left.

A leftward shift signifies a fall in demand while a rightward shift signals a rise in demand

Normal goods are goods that are goods whose demand increases when income increases and falls when income falls

Wagner Enterprises and Stone Services both disposed of an old asset. When completing the journal entry, Wagner Enterprises included a debit to Cash, but Stone Services did not. Why would the companies have this difference in the journal entry

Answers

Answer:

Wagner Enterprises and Stone Services

Disposal of old asset:

It could be that Stone Services exchanged its old asset with a new one with a company.  In that situation, the debit goes to New Equipment, while the credit is to the old Equipment.  Another reason could be that Stone Services sold the old asset on account.  In this situation, the debit goes to the Accounts Receivable account, while the old asset is credited accordingly.

Explanation:

When a company disposes of an old asset, it credits the asset account and transfers the amount to the Sale of Asset account.  The same is done for the accumulated depreciation, in reverse.  When cash is realized from the disposal, the Sale of Asset account is credited, while Cash account is debited.  Then, the difference in the Sale of Asset account will be a gain or a loss, depending on the net book value and the cash realized from the sale.

The Grondas, who owned a party store along with land, fixtures, equipment, and a liquor license, entered into a contract to sell their liquor license and fixtures to Harbor Park Market in an agreement that was expressly conditioned on approval by the Grondas' attorney. The Grondas submitted the contract to their attorney but before the attorney had approved it, they received a second, better offer and submitted that contract to the attorney as well. The attorney reviewed both agreements and approved the second one. Harbor Park Market sued the Grondas for breach of contract. Will their suit succeed?

Answers

Answer:

No the suit will not succeed as their is no agreement

Explanation:

The contract was conditional contract. As the condition explicitly said that, the right to agree on terms and conditions is explicitly attorney's right. When the attorney has not agreed on the terms and conditions of Harbor Park, the company hasn't formed any contract. Furthermore, there is no limitation on Grondas to consider other available options and attorney is also not obliged to agree to Harbor's offer.

Thus the suit that says Grondas has breached the contract is meaningless and will not succeed in the court.

Cheryl's marginal rate of substitution between apples and bananas is four apples for one banana. If apples are on the vertical axis and bananas are on the horizontal axis, the slope of Cheryl's indifference curve is

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is: -4 (minus four).

Explanation:

To begin with, the concept of "Marginal Rate of Substitution" indicates how much of a good a consumer is willing to sacrifice to obtain a unit more of another good without changing the total satisfaction of the consumer. Therefore that this term is explained as the difference between one good and the other and that is why that the concept comprehends the slope of the indifference curve. That is why that if Cheryl's MRS of apples for banas is four then she is willing to sacrifice four apples for one banana and that indicates that the slope of the indiference curve is minus four (-4) because the result is always negative because it shows the sacrifice.

Calculate the forecasted cost at completion if the total budgeted cost is $15,000, the cumulative actual cost is $10,000, and the cumulative earned value is $12,000.

Answers

Answer:

$13,000

Explanation:

The total budgeted cost is $15,000

The cumulative actual cost is $10,000

The cumulative earned value is $12,000

Therefore, the forecasted cost at completion can be calculated as follows

= Cumulative actual cost + ( Budgeted cost-Cumulative earned value)

= $10,000 + ($15,000-$12,000)

= $10,000 + $3,000

= $13,000

Hence the forecasted cost at completion is $13,000

B                $40.50                  $32.40

C               $54.00                  $64.80

Explanation:

a) Data:

Normal rate per hour: Rs. 5.40

Standard time per unit: 1 minute

Output per day is as follows.

Worker A – 390 units  

Worker B – 450 units

Worker C – 600 units

Working hours per day are 8

b) Calculations:

i) Standard units per day = 8 x 60 minutes = 480 units

ii) Earnings per day is as follows.

Worker A – 390 units :

Straight piece Wages = 390 / 60 x $5.40 = $35.10

Merrick's Earnings = 390/60 x $5.40 x 0.8 = $28.08

Worker B – 450 units :

Straight piece Wages = 450 / 60 x $5.40 = $40.50

Merrick's Earnings = 450/60 x $5.40 x 0.8 = $32.40

Worker C – 600 units:

Straight piece Earnings = 600 / 60 x $5.40 = $54

Merrick's Earnings = 600/60 x $5.40 x 1.2 = $64.80

c) The factor for multiplying the rate is obtained by dividing the units produced by the number of minutes in an hour, in order to convert output to a rate based on the hour.

d) The standard output per day helps Merrick in calculating the weights to be assigned to each worker and differentiate the slow worker from the superior worker (hence, the name: Merrick's Differential Piece Rate).  The slow workers (those who produce below the standard output) are paid a rate lower than the standard rate by adding a weight of 0.8  as a punishment while the superior worker is assigned a weight of 1.20 as a reward for good performance.  Meanwhile, a standard performer who produced 480 units will be paid the normal rate or weighed as 1.0.

Answers

Answer:

End inventory = $4,730

Cost of goods sold = $10,310

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided in the attached Microsoft word document before answering the question as follows:

a. Calculation of ending inventory

Number of units of Beginning inventory remaining unsold = 16 - 11 - 3 - 1 = 1 unit

Value of number of units Beginning inventory remaining unsold = 1 * $340 = $340

Number of units June 12 Purchase remaining unsold = 10 - 9 = 1 unit

Value of number of units June 12 Purchase remaining unsold = 1 * $330 = $330

Number of units of June 24 Purchase remaining unsold = 10 - 7 = 3 units

Value of number of June 24 Purchase remaining unsold = 3 * $320 = $960

Value of number of June 29 Purchase remaining unsold = 10 * $310 = $3,100

Therefore, End inventory is the addition of all the values of units remaining unsold as follows:

End inventory = $340 + $330 + $960 + $3,100 = $4,730

b. Calculation of cost of goods sold

June 7 cost of goods sold = 11 * $340 = $3,740

June 15 cost of goods sold = (3 * $340) + (9 * $330) = $3,990

June 27 cost of goods sold = (1 * $340) + (7 * $320) = $2,580

Cost of goods sold can therefore be calculated as follows:

Cost of goods sold = June 7 cost of goods sold + June 15 cost of goods sold + June 27 cost of goods sold = $3,740 + $3,990 + $2,580 = $10,310

A stock has an expected return of 13 percent, the risk-free rate is 4.1 percent, and the market risk premium is 5.3 percent. What is the stock's beta?

Answers

Answer:

Stock Beta = 1.68

Explanation:

The expected return on stock can be estimate using te capital asset pricing model (CAPM).

The capital pricing model establishes the relationship between expected return from a stock and its systematic risk . The systematic risk is that which affects all players (businesses and firms) in the entire market, such risks are occasioned by changes in interest rate, exchange rate e.t.c

According to the model , the expected return is computed as follows

E(r) = Rf + β(Rm-Rf)

Rf- risk -free rate, Rm-Rf - market premium ,  β- beta

DATA:

E(r) = 13%, Rm-Rf = 5.3 , risk-free rate- 4.1%, β?

Applying this model, we have

13% = 4.1% + β× (5.3%)

0.13 = 0.041 + 0.053β

Collecting like terms

0.053β= 0.13 - 0.041

divide both sides by 0.053

β=  (0.13 - 0.041)/0.053

β = 1.679

Stock Beta = 1.68

fabrication= 448,000/28,000= $16 per direct labor hour

assembly= 180,000/30,000= $6 per direct labor hour

setup= 222,600/420= $530 per setup

inspection= 189,000/700= $270 per inspection

Now, we can allocate overhead to each product line:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Speed boat:

Allocated MOH= 7,000*16 + 22,500*6 + 50*530 + 88*270= $297,260

Bass boat:

Allocated MOH= 21,000*16 + 7,500*6 + 370*530 + 612*270= $742,340

Finally, the unitary overhead cost:

Speed boat= 297,260/5,000= $59.45

Bass boat= 742,340/5,000= $148.47

Johnson Trucking Company wants to determine a fuel surcharge to add to its customers' bills based on the number of miles driven to each area It wants to separate the fixed and variable portion of the truck's operating costs so it has a better idea of how distance affects these costs.

May 17400 23550
June 15300 21850
The variable cost per mile using the high-low method is:___________.
A. $1.16
B. $138
C. $1 66
D. $1.43

Answers

Answer:

Variable cost per unit= $1.16 per mile

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

January 16,200 $22,650

February 17000 $23,250

March 18400 $25,450

Apri 16500 $22,875

May 17400 $23,550

June 15300 $21,850

To calculate the variable cost per mile under the high-low method, we need to use the following formula:

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (25,450 - 21,850) / (18,400 - 15,300)

Variable cost per unit= $1.16 per mile

Answers

Answer:

Tiger Company

1. Accounts, Amounts, and Effects on the Accounting Equation:

Date        Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity

Jan. 3      Inventory $31,000 increased = Accounts Payable $31,000 increased + Stockholders' Equity

Jan. 27    Cash $31,000 decreased = Accounts Payable $31,000 decreased + Stockholders' Equity.

Apr. 1      Cash $87,000 increased = Notes Payable $87,000 increased + Stockholders' Equity

June 13   Inventory $9,400 increased = Accounts Payable $9,400 increased + Stockholders' Equity

July 25   Cash $9,400 decreased = Accounts Payable $9,400 decreased + Stockholders' Equity.

Aug. 1     Cash $9,400 increased = Liability + Rent Revenue (Retained Earnings) $9,400 increased.

Dec. 31   Assets = Wages Payable $19,000 increased + Wages Expense (Retained Earnings) $19,000 decreased

Dec. 31   Assets = Interest Payable $1,305 increased + Interest Expense (Retained Earnings) $3,915 decreased

Dec. 31  Assets = Unearned Rent Revenue $3,525 increased + Rent Revenue (Retained Earnings) $3,525 decreased.

2. Indication of whether the debt-to-assets ratio is increased or decreased:

Date Effect Numerator Denominator

Jan. 3 Increased, Debt is increased, Assets are increased

Jan. 27 Decreased, Debt is decreased, and Assets are decreased

Apr. 1  Increased, Debt is increased, Assets are increased

June 13 Increased, Debt is increased, Assets are increased

July 25 Decreased, Debt is decreased, and Assets are decreased

Aug. 1 Increased, Debt is increased, Assets are increased

Dec. 31 Increased, Debt is increased, Assets are not affected.

Dec. 31 Increased, Debt is increased, Assets are not affected.

Dec. 31 Increased, Debt is increased, Assets are not affected.

Explanation:

The accounting equation indicates the balance that exists between the basic elements of accounting.  It states that Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity.  For every transaction, this equation holds true, because by the double entry system of bookkeeping, two or more accounts are always involved in every business transaction.

Talk to a 55-year-old (or older) business professional nearing retirement. This person can be a family member, friend, or mentor. List and describe the savings, investments, and risk management strategies for this phase of life. Describe how financial planning has changed from the earlier phase of life.

Answers

Answer:

The financial planning will differ for the person according to their age. A person who is 50 years older would have money only from his savings. The 55 year old person is retired and would only have money available for living from the saving he had made while he was working. He will not have any other source of income.

Explanation:

The risk management officer should consider the investments by considering his available savings. He should also consider the money required for living as there is no other source of income. The risk appetite for such an old aged individual will be low. He must be risk averse in the situation of retirement. The financial planning strategies changes for the person over the different phases of life. When a person is young and starts the job at age of 25 he might take excessive risks for getting extra returns. He is young and energetic, has ability to work part time along with his routine job to earn extra money.

You have been given this probability distribution for the holding-period return for KMP stock: Stock of the Economy Probability HPR Boom 0.30 18 % Normal growth 0.50 12 % Recession 0.20 – 5 % What is the expected holding-period return for KMP stock?

Answers

Answer:  12.4%

Explanation:

The Expected return for a stock is the summation of all the returns given the probability of all market conditions.

Expected Return = ∑(Probability of return * return)

= (0.30 * 18%) + (0.50 * 12%) + (0.20 * 5%)

= 0.054 + 0.06 + 0.01

= 0.124

= 12.4%

eal per capita GDP in Singapore in 1961 was about $450, but it doubled to about $900.00 by 1978. a. What was the average annual economic growth rate in Singapore over the 17.00 years from 1961 to 1978

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 4.16%

Explanation:

Per capita GDP is the average income earned per person in a given country during a given period of time usually a year.

Per capita GDP in Singapore in 1961 equals $450

Per capita GDP in Singapore in 1978 equals $900

Difference between 1978 and 1961 is 17 years.

The formula for economic growth rate is;

[(End value/beginning value)^1)/17] - 1

[($900/$450)^1/17] - 1

1.041613 - 1

0.0416

Expressed as a percentage:

4.16%

For a stock to be in equilibrium, that is, for there to be no long-term pressure for its price to depart from its current level, then a.the expected future return must be less than the most recent past realized return. b.the past realized return must be equal to the expected return during the same period. c.the expected future returns must be equal to the required return. d.the required return must equal the realized return in all periods. e.the expected return must be equal to both the required future return and the past realized return.

Answers

Answer:

c.the expected future returns must be equal to the required return.

Explanation:

When the stock is at equilibrium than the intrinsic value of the stock is equivalent to the market price of the stock that depicts that the expected returns which held in the future should be equivalent to the required return

Therefore the option c is correct

And, the other options that are mentioned in the question are incorrect

For a stock to be in equilibrium, the expected future returns must be equal to the required return.

The correct answer to this question is answer option c. At the equilibrium position there is a balance between the expected returns and the required returns.

At this point the intrinsic value is the same thing as the market value. Telling us that the rate the investor is expecting is the same as the actual required rate of return.
