Answer:
The correct option is c. $8.
Explanation:
Ken will maximize utility where the following equation holds:
MU of Sprite / Price of Sprite = MU of potato chips / Price of potato chips ................. (1)
Where;
MU of Sprite = Marginal utility of Sprite = 3
Price of Sprite = $1 per can
From the table in the question, equation (1) holds at the point where Marginal utility of potato chips is 6 since the Potato chips cost $2 per bag.
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
MU of Sprite / Price of Sprite = MU of potato chips / Price of potato chips => 3 / 1 = 6 / 2 = 3
Since when the marginal utility of potato chips that maximizes utility is 6, Ken consumes 4 Bags of Potato chips monthly and pays $2 per bag at this point, the amount he spends on potato chips each month can be calculated as follows:
Amount spent on potato monthly = Number of bags of Potato chips consumed monthly * Cost of potato chips per bag = 4 * $2 = $8
Therefore, the correct option is c. $8.
Melinda signs a three year contract for employment as a legal studies lecturer. Does this type of contract fall within the scope of the statute of frauds
Answer: Yes, because it is a contract whose terms prevent possible performance within one year
Explanation:
The Statute of Fraud mandates that certain contracts need to be written down. These contracts include the sale of land, amounts involving more than $500 and contracts that have a timeframe of over a year.
Melinda entered into a contract with terms that have to be fulfilled in more than a year. It is therefore under the Statute of Frauds.
Koovuq131 is a division of a large corporation. Data concerning the most recent period appears below:
Sales $18,120,000
Net operating income $1,177,800
Average operating assets $4,450,000
What is Koovuq131's margin (closest to)?
Answer:
0.065
Explanation:
Koovuq131 has sales of $18,120,000
The net operating income is $1,177,800
The average operating assets is $4,450,000
Therefore the margin can be calculated as follows
= Net operating income/sales
= 1,177,800/18,120,000
= 0.065
Hence the margin is closest to 0.065
Suppose that the market for painting services is perfectly competitive. Painting companies are identical; their long-run cost functions are given by: Market demand is: The long-run equilibrium price in this industry is $____. 173.5 162.5 194.5 155.5
Answer:
b. 162.5
Explanation:
Missing question "long-run cost functions are given by TC(Q)= 6Q^3-30Q^2+200Q"
TC(Q)= 6Q^3-30Q^2+200Q"
Marginal cost = 18Q^2 - 60Q + 200
Average Total Cost = 6Q^2 - 30Q + 200
ЭATC / ЭQ = 0
12Q - 30 = 0
Q = 2.5
ATC = 6Q^2 - 30Q + 200
ATC = 6*(2.5)^2 - 30(2.5) + 200
ATC = 37.5 - 75 + 200
ATC = 162.5
Thus, P = 162.5

Suppose a food pantry received a donation and allowed volunteers to vote on how the funds were to be spent. Three options were provided, with the donation only covering the cost of one project. The projects included improvements to the building, additional purchases of food, and purchasing a vehicle for food delivery. The majority of volunteers voted for purchasing a vehicle for food delivery with building improvements coming in second. Since only one project could be funded, what is the opportunity cost of the decision to purchase a vehicle
Answer:
improvements to the building,
Explanation:
Opportunity cost is the foregone advantage of not setting certain options in decision making. When a particular option is preferred over others, then benefit from the other options not selected are forfeited. The forfeited benefits represent the opportunity cost.
The value of opportunity cost is equated to the value of the next best alternative. Where there were more than two alternatives available, the next best alternative from the chosen option becomes the opportunity cost. In this case, improvement to the building was voted the second preferred option; hence it becomes the opportunity cost.
Corporation has 400 obsolete TV monitors that they carry in their inventory at a total cost of $576,000. If these monitors are upgraded at a total cost of $150,000, they can be sold for a total of $210,000. As an alternative, the calculators can be sold in their present condition for $11,200. Assume that Tolar decides to upgrade the calculators. At what selling price per unit would the company be as well off as if it just sold the calculators in their present condition?
a. $8 per calculator
b. $30 per calculator
c. $53 per calculator
d. $67 dollar per calculator
Answer: $403 per calculator
Explanation:
Assume the selling price is x.
400 calculators.
Upgrading them would cost $150,000 but if sold in present condition would fetch $11,200.
Expression would be;
400x - 150,000 = 11,200
400x = 161,200
x = 161,200/400
x = $403 per calculator
In 2020, Cullumber Company reported net income of $585000. It declared and paid preferred stock dividends of $111000 and common stock dividends of $54000. During 2020, Cullumber had a weighted average of 300000 common shares outstanding. Compute Cullumber's 2020 earnings per share.
Answer: $1.58
Explanation:
Earnings per share is the amount of a company's earnings that is available to the common shareholders.
Formula is;
Earnings per share = (Net Income - Preferred dividends) / Weighted average common share outstanding
= (585,000 - 111,000) / 300,000
= $1.58
On July 1, 2011, Hale Kennels sells equipment for $66,000. The equipment was originally purchased on July 1, 2007 at a cost $180,000, had an estimated 5-year life and an expected salvage value of $30,000. The company books depreciation annually. What is the balance in Accumulated Depreciation as of December 31, 2010? What is the journal entry to update depreciation as of July 1, 2011? What is the journal entry to record the sale of the equipment?
Answer:
journal entry to update depreciation as of July 1, 2011
Depreciation Expense $16,000 (debit)
Accumulated Depreciation $16,000 (credit)
journal entry to record the sale of the equipment
Cash $66,000 (debit)
Accumulated Depreciation $128,000 (debit)
Equipment $180,000 (credit)
Profit and Loss $14,000 (credit)
Explanation:
If Hale Kennels uses the straight line method then the calculations will be as follows :
Annual Depreciation Charge = (Cost - Residual Value) ÷ Estimated Useful Life
= ($180,000 - $30,000) ÷ 5
= $32,000
Therefore,
Depreciation Charges for the period in use will be as follows :
2007 = $16,000 ($32,000 × 1/2)
2008 = $32,000
2009 = $32,000
2010 = $32,000
2011 = $16,000 ($32,000 × 1/2)
Total Accumulated depreciation = $128,000
Explaining journal entry to record the sale of the equipment
1. Derecognize the Cost of the Asset
2. Derecognize the Accumulated depreciation
3. Recognize the Cash Proceeds
4. Recognize the Profit or Loss arising from the sale
Novak Corp. had accounts receivable of $140,000 on January 1, 2022. The only transactions that affected accounts receivable during 2022 were net credit sales of $3,795,000, cash collections of $3,725,000, and accounts written off of $20,000.
Required:
a. Compute the ending balance of accounts receivable.
b. Compute the accounts receivable turnover for 2016.
c. Compute the average collection period in days.
Answer:
a $210,000
b 21.69 times
c 16.83 average days
Explanation:
a. The ending balance of accounts receivable
= Accounts receivables at the beginning - Cash collections + Net Credit sales
Given that;
Accounts receivables at the beginning = $140,000
Cash collections = $3,725,000
Net Credit sales = $3,795,000
Ending balance of accounts receivable
= $140,000 + $3,795,000 - $3,725,000
= $210,000
b. Compute the accounts receivable turnover
= Net credit sales + [(Beginning account receivable + Ending account receivable) / 2]
= $3,795,000 ÷ [ ($140,000 + $210,000)/2]
= $3,795,000 ÷ $175,000
= 21.69 times
c. Compute the average collection period
= Average accounts receivable ÷ [Annual sales ÷ 365]
= $175,000 ÷ ($3,795,000 ÷ 365)
= $175,000 ÷ $10,397
= 16.83 average days to collect receivables
Carlos bought a building (AB) for $113,000 in 2014. He added an leasehold improvements addition to the building for $26,000. In 2018, he sold (SP) it for $212,000. What was his long-term capital gain (LTCG) (ignore depreciation
Answer:
Long-term capital gain = $73,000
Explanation:
The long-term capital gain (LTCG) can be calculated using the following formula:
Long-term capital gain = Selling price - Cost of acquisition - Cost of improvement .............. (1)
Where;
Selling price = $212,000
Cost of acquisition = $113,000
Cost of improvement = $26,000
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Long-term capital gain = $212,000 - $113,000 - $26,000 = $73,000
Note:
Since no information on cost inflation index is given in the question, that implies that there is no need to use indexed cost of acquisition and indexed cost of improvement in our calculation. Therefore, the Cost of acquisition and Cost of improvement has to be used as given in the question.
For the following statement/questions match the assertion that best matches: When auditing the following accounts identify what auditors are primarily concerned with:
a. Revune
b. Assests
c. Liabilities
d. Expenses
1. Overstatments
2. Understatments
Answer:
When auditing the following accounts, auditors are primarily concerned with:
Accounts Assertions
a. Revenue Overstatements
b. Assets Overstatements
c. Liabilities Understatements
d. Expenses Understatements
Explanation:
Auditors are generally concerned about these assertions when auditing financial statements and their related disclosures: accurate recording, completeness, cut-off, existence, rights and obligations, and valuation. For revenue and assets, they want to ensure that these are not overstated. Their overstatement will increase the reported profits of the entity, which is a kind of cooking the books to please analysts. They are also interested in ensuring that liabilities and expenses are not understated for the same purpose.
A store uses the newsvendor model to manage its inventory. Demand for its product is normally distributed with a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 300. Store A purchases the product for $10 each unit and sells each for $25. Inventory is salvaged for $5. What is the optimal quantity the store should order of its product
Answer:
702.20
Explanation:
Optimal order quantity Q = D+ z σ
Where D is the average demand = 500 units
And σ is the standard deviation of demand = 300
Cu = Cost of stock-out (underestimation) = Selling price – unit cost = $25 -$10 = $15
Co = Cost of excess inventory (overestimation) = Unit cost – Salvage Value = $10 – $5 = $5
Therefore Service level = Cu / (Cu + Co)
= $15/ ($15 + $5)
= 0.75 or 75%
For service level 75% the Z value = 0.674
Therefore, Q = 500+0.674*300 = 702.20

Barbara is a single taxpayer who had a 2020 adjusted gross income of $25,000 and contributed $4,000 to her traditional IRA. Assuming she has a $2,000 income tax liability for the year, what is her maximum retirement contribution savings credit
Answer:
$200
Explanation:
The retirement contribution savings credit is designed to benefit low and middle income tax payers that contribute to retirement accounts.
The maximum credit ranges from $200 to $1,000 per taxpayer.
Since Barbara earned below $32,500, she applies for this tax credit.
Since her AGI is over $21,251, she can only deduct 10% of the first $2,000 contributed to her IRA account = $2,000 x 10% = $200
X Corporation and its two divisions, Domestic and Foreign, appear below:
Sales revenues, Domestic $640,000
Variable expenses, Domestic $371,300
Traceable fixed expenses, Domestic $76,500
Sales revenues, Foreign $493,900
Variable expenses, Foreign $281,800
Traceable fixed expenses, Foreign $63,900
In addition, X's common fixed expenses totaled $173,300 and were allocated as follows: $90,000 to the Domestic division and $83,300 to the Foreign division.
What is the segment margin for the Domestic division?
a. $178,700
b. $371,300
c. $102,200
d. $192,200
Answer: $192,200
Explanation:
Based on the information that have been provided in the question, the segment margin for the domestic division will be calculated as:
Segment Margin = Segment Sales Revenue - Segment Variable Expenses - The Traceable Fixed Cost
= $640,000 - $371,300 - $76,500
= $192,200
Suppose Alex and Becky are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action Left or Right. The payoff matrix that follows shows the payoff each person will earn as a function of both of their choices. For example, the lower-right cell shows that if Alex chooses Right and Becky chooses Right, Alex will receive a payoff of 5 and Becky will receive a payoff of 5.
Becky
Left Right
Alex Left 6, 6 6, 3
Right 4, 3 5, 5
The only dominant strategy in this game is for___ to choose_____ .
The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows:
Alex chooses______ and Becky chooses_______ .
Answer:
The only dominant strategy in this game is for__Alex_ to choose__Right___ .
The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows:
Alex chooses__Right____ and Becky chooses__Left_____ .
Explanation:
The game theory of the Nash equilibrium achieves the optimal outcome of a game because Alex and Becky are not incentivized to deviate from their chosen strategies after considering the opponent's choice. Neither of these two players can increase their payoff by choosing an action different from their current strategic action. Thus, this action profile achieves a Nash equilibrium for the two players because there exists randomization in the game.
Although the cost-plus method approach to product pricing may be used by management as a general guidance, when are some examples of other factors that managers should also consider in setting product prices?
Answer: value-based pricing.
Explanation:
In its literal sense, value-based pricing means basing pricing on the advantages of the product perceived by the consumer rather than on the exact cost of product creation. A painting, for example, may be priced as much more than canvas and paint prices: in fact, the price depends a lot on who the painter is.
A firm has market power if it can a. maximize profits. b. minimize costs. c. influence the market price of the good it sells. d. hire as many workers as it needs at the prevailing wage rate.
Answer:
Option C: Influence the market price of the good as it sells
Explanation:
Market Power is simply when a firm is able to raise price above the equilibrium level by not and without losing all of its customers. It depends on largely on the closeness of substiutes.
A firm has market power if it can Influence the market price of the good as it sells to its customer and can regulate it when necessary.
Barbara's employer offers health coverage to its employees. However, Barbara feels it is unaffordable and wants to apply for a health insurance premium tax credit. In order for the coverage to be deemed unaffordable in 2020, Barbara's self-only premium must exceed ___% of her household income.
Answer:
9.83%
Explanation:
If the health insurance premium represents 9.83% of Barbara's income or less, it is considered affordable coverage. Only if it exceeds the 9.83% threshold, will Barbara be able to request a health insurance premium tax credit. Theoretically, if Barbara's health insurance was purchased in the Health Insurance Marketplace, the tax credit should be automatic and her premium should be lowered so that it can become affordable.
What type of special title insurance policy covers the possibility of a mechanic's lien have priority over a mortgage or deed of trust
Answer:
Depending on the state this type of coverage is called slightly different names. E.g. in Colorado, this type of coverage in included under Comprehensive Coverage. In other states it is simply called Mechanic's Lien Coverage. Most title insurance companies that are registered in ALTA (American Land Title Association) offer some type of mechanic's lien coverage since it is one of the most common sources of litigation regarding real estate.
Mechanic's liens have priority over other types of liens and they are retroactive to the moment when the construction process began. E.g. the contractor started working on January 2, 2020, and decides to file a claim due to unpaid services on November. So the mechanic's lien is retroactive to January 2, 2020. If a mortgage was recorded on June, the mechanic's lien will have priority even though it was recorded at a later date.

Assume that interest rate parity holds and that 90-day risk-free securities yield a nominal annual rate of 3% in the United States and a nominal annual rate of 3.5% in the United Kingdom. In the spot market, 1 pound 5 $1.29. a. What is the 90-day forward rate
Answer:
$1.55
Explanation:
Interest rate parity = (1+Rh) / (1+Rf) = F1 / S0
Rh = rate on home currency here US is home 3% p.a = 3%/4 = 0.75%
Rf= rate on foreign currency here Germany 3.5% p.a = 3.5%/4 = 0.875
F1 = Forward rate , S0= Spot market rate
So, (1+0.0075) / (1+0.00875) = F1 / 1.56
1.0075/1.00875 = F1 / 1.56
0.998761 = F1 / 1.56
F1 = 0.998761 * 1.56
F1 = 1.55806716
F1 = $1.55
Thus, the 90-day forward rate is $1.55

A-One Auto Sales, Inc., employs Best Collection Company as a collection agent. While repossessing goods from Carl, one of A-One's customers, Best causes an accident in which Carl is injured. Carl can recover from
Answer: c. A-One or Best.
Explanation:
Best Collection Company are the ones who cause the accident and so they can be held liable and have to compensate Carl for injuries and harm caused.
Best however, was acting as an agent on behalf of A-One Auto Sales so A-One can be held liable as well for the incident. Carl can therefore also be compensated by A-One as well.
Carl cannot be compensated by both for the same incident as this amounts to double compensation but can be compensated by either one of them.

Answer:
The notation that is made in a formal business letter that contains additional documents in the envelope is:
“Enc.” or “Att.”
Explanation:
"Enc." means "Enclosures," while "Att." means "Attention." These notations draw the attention of the letter recipient to the fact that there are other documents that may be accompanying the business letter. The plural form of the word "Enclosures" is regularly used with the number of enclosures indicated. But if it is one document, then the word "Enclosure" is preferred, indicating that the document is not more than one. When "Attention" or "Att." is used, the documents are listed.
