Answer:
$130,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the opportunity cost for four years of college
The first step is to calculate for the cost of education per year
Using this formula
Cost of education per year =Tuition+Text book +Room and board
Let plug in the formula
Cost of education per year =$10,000+$2,500+$12,000
=$24,500
Second step is to calculate the return in a situation were we decided not to go to college
$20,000-$12,000=$8,000
The last step is to calculate for the opportunity cost for 4 years of college:
Using this formula
Opportunity cost =Cost of education per year+ Return * Numbers of year
Where,
Cost of education per year=$24,500
Return =$8,000
Numbers of years =4
Let plug in the Formula
Opportunity cost =($24,500+$8,000)*4
Opportunity cost =$32,500*4
Opportunity cost =$130,000
Therefore the opportunity cost for four years of college will be $130,000
Danaher Woodworking Corporation produces fine furniture. The company uses a job-order costing system in which its predetermined overhead rate is based on capacity. The capacity of the factory is determined by the capacity of its constraint, which is an automated lathe. Additional information is provided below for the most recent month: Estimates at the beginning of the month: Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead $ 36,400 Capacity of the lathe 400 hours Actual results: Actual total fixed manufacturing overhead $ 36,400 Actual hours of lathe use 380 hours Required: a. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate based on capacity. b. Calculate the manufacturing overhead applied. c. Calculate the cost of unused capacity.
Answer:
a. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate based on capacity.
$91 per lathe hourb. Calculate the manufacturing overhead applied.
$34,580c. Calculate the cost of unused capacity.
$1,820Explanation:
Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead $36,400
Capacity of the lathe 400 hours
predetermined overhead rate per lathe hour = $36,400 / 400 = $91
actual results:
Actual total fixed manufacturing overhead $36,400
Actual hours of lathe use 380 hours
applied overhead = $91 x 380 lathe hours = $34,580
cost of unused capacity = $36,400 - $34,580 = $1,820
The potential benefits lost by taking a specific action when two or more alternative choices are available is known as a(n):
Answer:
Opportunity costs
Explanation:
The potential benefits lost by taking a specific action when two or more alternative choices are available is known as opportunity costs.
Opportunity cost has to do with losing other alternatives by chosing to go with one alternative. Hence it is also called foregone alternative. It has to do with making a decision or choice to give up something in order to get something else which may be of more value.

A buyer and a seller enter into a real estate sales contract. Under the contract's terms, the buyer will pay the seller $500 a month for 10 years. The seller will continue to hold legal title, while the buyer will live in the home and pay all real estate taxes, insurance premiums, and regular upkeep costs. What kind of contract do the buyer and seller have
Answer: Land Sales Contract
Explanation:
Land Sales contract are a way to buy a property for people who would otherwise be unable to buy one because they were unable to get a mortgage or are running low in funds.
It works by the buyer paying the seller a certain amount of money for a period of time according to an agreement. During this period of payment, the seller continues to hold the legal rights to the property and then passes it to the buyer when they are finished paying. In this scenario therefore, the seller effectively plays the role of a mortgage bank.
Bendel Incorporated has an operating leverage of 7.3. If the company's sales volume increases by 3%, its net operating income should increase by about:
Answer:
21.9%
Explanation:
Given that
Operating leverage = 7.3
Increase in sales = 3%
According to the given situation, the computation of net operating income is shown below:-
Increase in operating income = Operating leverage × Increase in sales
= 7.3 × 3 %
= 21.9%
Therefore for computing the increase in operating income we simply applied the above formula.

Suppose the price level and value of the U.S. Dollar in year 1 are 1 and $1, respectively. Instructions: Round your answers to 2 decimal places. a. If the price level rises to 1.55 in year 2, what is the new value of the dollar
Answer: $0.65
Explanation:
The Price Level and the value of a currency are inversely related because inflation erodes the value of the currency. Therefore if the price level increases, the value of the currency drops. The reverse is true.
The formula therefore is is;
New Value = [tex]\frac{1}{Price Level}[/tex]
New Value = [tex]\frac{1}{1.55}[/tex]
New Value = 0.6452
New Value = $0.65
g Profit maximazation for a monopolist and a perfect competitor occurs where marginal revenue equals marginal cost. At this profit-maximizing output, the monopolist will charge a price ________ marginal revenue and a perfect competitor will charge a price ________ marginal revenue.
Answer: Higher than; Equal to
Explanation:
Profit maximazation for a monopolist and a perfect competitor occurs where marginal revenue equals marginal cost.
The Marginal Revenue curves are different for either of them though and this impacts what price they sell at. This is because the price the good will be sold at depends on where the maximising output touches the demand curve.
The Monopolist has a Marginal Revenue curve that is lower than the Demand Curve. Therefore the point where Marginal Revenue and Marginal Cost intersect, will not be on the demand curve but lower than it. The price charged will therefore be the point where the maximising output touches the Demand Curve.
The Perfectly Competitive Firm however is in a market where Price is equal to the Demand curve and equal to the Marginal Revenue curve as well. The point where the Marginal Cost intersects with Marginal Revenue will also be the point where the maximising output touches the Demand curve so the price will be the same as the Marginal Revenue.
Consider a risky portfolio. The end-of-year cash flow derived from the portfolio will be either $70,000 or $200,000 with equal probabilities of .5. The alternative risk-free investment in T-bills pays 6% per year. a. If you require a risk premium of 8%, how much will you be willing to pay for the portfolio?
Answer:
$118,421
Explanation:
first we must calculate the expected value of the risky portfolio = ($70,000 x 0.5) + ($200,000 x 0.5) = $135,000
since your risk premium is 8% and the risk free rate is 6%m then you should discount the expected value by 8% + 6% = 14% to determine its current market price
= $135,000 / (1 + 14%) = $118,421
calculate the net present value of a business deal that cost $2500 today and will return $1500 at the end of this year. use interest rate of 13%
Answer:
NPV= -$1,172.57
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment= $2,500
Cash flow= $1,500
Discount rate= 13%
To calculate the net present value (NPV), we need to use the following formula:
NPV= -Io + ∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]
NPV= -2,500 + (1,500/1.13)
NPV= -1,172.57
Maria, the landlord, refuses to fix a small leak in the roof that was there prior to the current tenant. Juan, the current tenant, has just discovered the leak after a heavy rain. The consequence is that black mold has been forming in the attic for quite some time. Juan still has significant time remaining on his lease. Juan has notified Maria in writing of the mold and leak issue but has received no response. He is concerned about the premises becoming unsafe to live in. It has been 14 days since he emailed her his notification. What are all of Juan’s options if Maria declines to do the repairs? Please discuss all remedies Juan may seek. Please remember to reference the contract and text to support your analysis.
Answer:
Please see answers below
Explanation:
Joan may as well put a call through to Maria in addition to his previous mail. Several remedial options are available to Juan and each has its own merits and demerits. It is proper for the tenant to consider each options carefully and seek legal opinion where necessary. However, if Maria declines to do the repairs, Juan may seek the following remedies
• Repair and deduct remedy . In this type of remedy, a tenant may deduct money that is equivalent of a month's rent to cover the cost of the repair or defect. Rental unit 156 covers a condition whether faulty or substandard rented unit could affect the tenant's health and safety. Since the landlord has refused to do the repair, she is guilty of implied warranty of habitability which includes leak in the roof, gas leak, no running water etc. Also, the tenant may not have to file a lawsuit against the landlord since this type of remedy has legal aid. Other conditions attached in addition to the above are ; the repairs cannot cost more than a month's rent, the tenant cannot use the repair and deduct remedy more that twice in any 12 month period, tenant must have informed the landlord in writing and through calls of the faulty area that requires repair. His family or pets must not be the cause of the faulty area that needed to be repaired etc.
• The abandonment remedy . Here, the tenant could move out of the faulty unit or defective rental unit due to its substandard condition which could affect his health and safety. Where the tenant uses the abandonment remedy judiciously, he is not liable to pay any other rent once he has abandoned or moved out of the defective rental unit. The conditions attached are that; the defects must be serious and directly related to the tenant's health and safety, the tenant or his family must not be the cause of the faulty space that requires repair. Moreover, the tenant must have informed the landlord whether in writing or orally telephone calls of the defects that requires repair.
• The rent withholding remedy. Legally, a tenant could withhold house rent if the landlord fails to take care of serious defects that negates the implied warranty of habitability. Conditions attached to this type of remedy are; the defects to be repaired must have threatened the tenant's safety and wellbeing. Again, the faulty or defective unit must be such that it becomes uninhabitable for the tenant . The tenant, his family or pets must not be the cause of the defects that requires repairs. The tenant must have also notified the landlord either through phone calls on in writing, amongst others.
• The tenant could also file a lawsuit against the landlord to recover the cost expended to fixing the faulty repairs where the landlord was not willing to do so. Conditions that must be met before this option could stand in the court of law are; the rental unit has serious defect that is not safe for living. A housing inspector has inspected the house and found to be short of minimum requirements for habitable place etc. A tenant may seek this type of redress where the option for out of court settlement has failed with the landlord.
you have just deposited $11000 in to an account that promises to pay you an annual interest rate of 6.5 percent each year for the next 6 years. You will leave the money invested in the account and 10 years from today. you need to have $26300 in the account. What annual interest rate must you earn over the last 4 years to accomplish this goal
Answer:
Over the last 4 years to accomplish this goal the annual interest rate must be 13.14 %.
Explanation:
First find the Future value (FV) of $11,000 at the end of the 6th year as follows :
PV = -$11,000
r = 6.50%
p/yr = 1
n = 6
Pmt = $0
FV = ?
Using a financial calculator, the Future Value (FV) is $16,050.57
Therefore, the amount invested will amount to $16,050.57 in 6 year.
Next we then calculate the interest rate that will give us $26300 in the next four years (remainder of the 10 years)
PV = -$16,050.57
FV = $26,300
P/yr = 1
n = 4
Pmt = $0
r = ?
Using a financial calculator, the Interest rate (r) is 13.14 %
Conclusion :
Over the last 4 years to accomplish this goal the annual interest rate must be 13.14 %.

An investment earns 35% the first year, earns 40% the second year, and loses 37% the third year. The total compound return over the 3 years was ______. Multiple Choice 158.93% 19.07% 38.00% 6.36%
Answer:
19.07%
Explanation:
The computation of the total compound return over the 3 years is shown below:
= (1 + investment percentage earned in first year) × (1 + investment percentage earned in second year) × (1 + investment percentage loss in second year)
= (1 + 0.35) × (1 + 0.40) × (1 - 0.37)
= 1.35 × 1.40 × 0.63
= 1.1907
= 19.07%
Larry Jones gifts land to a school district, but the deed states "for so long as the land is used for a school." Jones owns a(n):
Answer:
Reversionary interest
Explanation:
If Larry Jones gifts land to a school district, but the deed states "for so long as the land is used for a school." Jones owns a reversionary interest.
A reversionary interest can be defined as a property law (deed) which states that when a property such as a land transfer is used on a clause; “for so long as” or “on condition that."
Hence, once the interest of the benefactor comes to an end, the property reverts back to its original owner (grantor). It also gives the grantor's next of kin, successor or heir the power or right to take the property back in the future if promises are broken or the agreement comes to an end.
This ultimately implies that, if a property stated in the deed is not used or used, for certain purposes.
In this scenario, Larry owns a reversionary interest because he gifts a land to the school district, but in the deed he stated "for so long as the land is used for a school."
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
Gullett Corporation had $26,000 of raw materials on hand on November 1. During the month, the Corporation purchased an additional $75,000 of raw materials. The journal entry to record the purchase of raw materials would include a:
Answer:
debit to Raw Materials of $75,000
Explanation:
In this scenario, the journal entry to record the purchase of raw materials would include a debit to Raw Materials of $75,000. A debit is an entry recording a sum owed, listed on the left-hand side or column of an account. Therefore in accounting, since Gullet Corporation's purchase was for an "additional" $75,000 worth of raw material, they owe that money to the company and must make it up through sales that those materials should generate in the future. That is why it is recorded as a debit.
Jackpot Mining Company operates a copper mine in central Montana. The company paid $1,150,000 in 2021 for the mining site and spent an additional $630,000 to prepare the mine for extraction of the copper. After the copper is extracted in approximately four years, the company is required to restore the land to its original condition, including repaving of roads and replacing a greenbelt. The company has provided the following three cash flow possibilities for the restoration costs: (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1)
Cash flow Probability
1 $330,000 25%
2 430,000 40%
3 630,000 35%
To aid extraction, Jackpot purchased some new equipment on July 1, 2021, for $150,000. After the copper is removed from this mine, the equipment will be sold. The credit-adjusted, risk-free rate of interest is 10%.
Required:
a. Determine the cost of the copper mine.
b. Prepare the journal entries to record the acquisition costs.
Answer:
a. Determine the cost of the copper mine.
$2,104,430b. Prepare the journal entries to record the acquisition costs.
Date X, 2021, acquisition of copper mine
Dr Copper mine 2,104,430
Cr Cash 1,780,000
Cr Asset retirement liability 324,430
July 1, 2021, acquisition of mining equipment
Dr Equipment 150,000
Cr Cash 150,000
Explanation:
estimated restoration costs = ($330,000 x .25) + ($430,000 x .4) + ($630,000 x .35) = $475,000
now we must adjust the restoration cost and determine its present value = $475,000 x 0.68301 (present value factor, 10%, 4 periods) = $324,430
total cost of copper mine = purchase cost + preparation costs + restoration costs = $1,150,000 + $630,000 + $324,430 = $2,104,430

"An economy is based on three sectorsdashagriculture, manufacturing, and services. For each unit of output, agriculture requires inputs of 0.20 unit from agriculture, 0.40 unit from manufacturing, and 0.20 unit from services. For each unit of output, manufacturing requires inputs of 0.30 unit from agriculture, 0.20 unit from manufacturing, and 0.20 unit from services. For each unit of output, services requires 0.20 unit from agriculture, 0.30 unit from manufacturing, and 0.30 unit from services. Determine the production levels needed to satisfy a final demand of 0 units for agriculture, 40 units for manufacturing, and 0 units for services. The production level needed from the agricultural sector is 40.00 units."
Answer:
Required Production to fullfil a Demand for 40 industry units
Agriculture 54.4
Industry 83.2
Services 51.2
Explanation:
Input Agricuilture Industrial Service
Agriculture 0.2 0.3 0.2
Industrial 0.4 0.2 0.3
Service 0.2 0.2 0.3
We require X input to generate a demand of 0 agriculture 40 industry and 0 services
The previous matrix will be the input we solve for the output
Output Agricuilture Industrial Service
Agriculture 0.8 -0.7 -0.8
Industrial -0.6 0.8 -0.7
Service -0.8 -0.8 0.7
We now reverse the matrix using excel:
Output Agricuilture Industrial Service
Agriculture 2 1.36 0.96
Industrial 1 2.08 0.88
Service 1 1.28 2.08
Now we multiply this by our desired outcome of
0
40
0
Agriculture 54.4
Industry 83.2

All of the following are assumptions facing opposing forces of reducing costs and adapting to local markets that international business people should be aware of except? Homogenous customer needs worldwide People around the world are willing to sacrifice preferences for lower prices and higher quality Economies of scale can be obtained in production and marketing through supplying worldwide Lowering international synergy and cost via the value chain matrix
Answer: Lowering international synergy and cost via the value chain matrix
Explanation:
Theodore Levitt came up with some assumptions facing opposing forces of reducing costs and adapting to local markets that international business people should be aware of which include;
On a global scale, customer needs are beginning to become homogeneous.People are willing to sacrifice their preferences for better quality products at a cheaper quality which gives Multinational Companies a chance to offer them better products than local producers due to their large sizes and Economies of scale.Having to supply the world can lead to Economies of scale in production and marketing due to the larger market.Lowering international synergy and cost via the value chain matrix is not one of the assumptions espoused by Theodore Levitt and so is the correct answer.
Suppose that the quantity of apples sold increases by 30 percent after the price of pears increases by 15 percent. What is the coefficient of cross elasticity of demand
Mary buys an annuity that promises to pay her $1,500 at the end of each of the next 20 years. The appropriate interest rate is 7.5%. What is the value of this 20-year annuity today?
Answer:
PV= $15,291.74
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Annual cash flow= $1,5000
Number of years= 20
Interest rate= 7.5%
To calculate the present value, first, we need to determine the future value using the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual cash flow
FV= {1,500*[(1.075^20) - 1]} / 0.075
FV= $64,957.02
Now, we can calculate the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 64,957.02/(1.075^20)
PV= $15,291.74
Suppose you have $1,500 and plan to purchase a 5-year certificate of deposit (CD) that pays 3.5% interest, compounded annually. How much will you have when the CD matures
Answer:
$ 1,781.53
Explanation:
The future value of the 5-year CD can be determined by using the future value formula stated below:
FV=PV*(1+r)^n
FV is the future value which is expected future amount after 5 years
PV is the initial amount used in purchasing the CD i.e $1500
r is the rate of return on the CD on an annual basis which is 3.5%
n is the number of years the investment would last which is 5 years
FV=$1500*(1+3.5%)^5
FV=$1500*1.187686306
FV=$ 1,781.53
. Identify each of the following as (i) part of an expansionary fiscal policy, (ii) part of a contractionary fiscal policy, or (iii) not part of fiscal policy. a. The personal income tax rate is lowered. b. Congress cuts spending on defense. c. College students are allowed to deduct tuition costs from their federal income taxes. d. The corporate income tax rate is lowered. e. The state of Nevada builds a new tollway in an attempt to expand employment and ease traffic in Las Vegas.
Answer:
Option, A , D, E = expansionary fiscal policy.
Option B = Contractionary fiscal policy
Option C = not a part of fiscal policy
Explanation:
The expansionary fiscal policy occurred when there is a decrease in taxes and an increase in government expenditure (spendings). While contractionary fiscal policy occurs when taxes are increased by the government and there is a fall or decrease in government spendings. Therefore, Option A, Option D, and Option E are part of the expansionary fiscal policy.
Option B is a contractionary fiscal policy. While option C is not a part of fiscal policy
