An outside supplier has offered to sell the component for $17. If Damon purchases the component from the outside supplier, the manufacturing facilities would be unused and could be rented out for $10,000. If Damon purchases the component from the supplier instead of manufacturing it, the effect on income would be:
Answer:
C. a $10,000 decrease.
Explanation:
Calculation for what the effect on income would be
First step is to calculate Make
Make=$100,000 + $160,000 + $60,000
Make = $320,000
Second step is to calculate Buy
Buy= $20,000 × $17 = $340,000 – $10,000
Buy = $330,000
Now let calculate the effect on income
Effect on income = $320,000 – $330,00
Effect on income = –$10,000 decrease
Therefore the effect on income would be –$10,000 decrease
A purchase of a pair of Italian designer jeans by a resident of Japan would be considered an_____when counting GDP in Japan. As a result, this purchase would be_____Japanese GDP. A purchase of a light pickup truck made in Japan and sold in Canada would be considered an_____for Japanese GDP, which would be_____Japanese GDP.
Answer and Explanation:
In the case when the purchase of Italian jeans made by the Japan resident so it would be considered an import at the time of counting GDP in Japan. So the purchase would be deducted or excluded from Japanese GDP
In the case when the purchase of truck would be made in Japan and then sold it in Canada so it would be considered as an export so the same would be included or added in Japanese GDP.
Tammy, a resident of Virginia, is considering purchasing a $100,000 North Carolina bond that yields 4.6% before tax. She is in the 35% Federal marginal tax bracket and the 5% state marginal tax bracket. She is aware that State of Virginia bonds of comparable risk are yielding 4.5%. However, the Virginia bonds are exempt from Virginia tax, but the North Carolina bond interest is taxable in Virginia. Tammy can deduct any state taxes paid on her Federal income tax return. In your analysis, assume that the bond amount is $100,000.
The question is incomplete. The complete question is :
Tammy, a resident of Virginia, is considering whether to purchase a $100, 000 North Carolina bond that yields 4.6% before tax. She is in the 35% Federal marginal tax bracket and the 5% state marginal tax bracket. Tammy is aware that State of Virginia bonds of comparable risk are yielding 4.5%. Virginia bonds are exempt from Virginia tax, but the North Carolina bond interest is taxable in Virginia. Tammy can deduct all state taxes paid on her Federal income tax return. In your analysis, assume that the bond amount is $100,000.If required, round your computations and answers to the nearest dollar. Determine the after tax income from each bond. Virginia Bond: $ 4, 600 North Carolina Bond: $ 4, 451 Which of the two options will provide the greater after-tax return to Tammy? Virginia bond
Solution :
Assuming that the bond amount is $100,000.
After the tax income from the Virginia bond is given by:
= 100,000 x 4.5%
= $ 4500
After the income tax from the North Carolina bond :
= (100,000 x 4.6%) x (1-5%) + (100,000 x 4.6% x 5% x 0.35)
= $ 4451
Therefore the Virginia bond will give an after tax higher return.
Washtenaw Corporation uses a job-order costing system. The following data are for last year: Estimated Direct Labor Hours 14,000 Estimated Machine Hours 12,000 Estimated Manufacturing Overhead Cost $42,600 Actual Direct Labor Hours 11,000 Actual Machine Hours 13,000 Actual Manufacturing Overhead Cost $39,000 Washtenaw applies overhead using a predetermined rate based on direct labor-hours. What predetermined overhead rate was used last year
Answer:
$3.25 per direct labor-hour
Explanation:
Calculation for predetermined overhead rate was used last year
Predetermined overhead rate = $39,000 ÷ 12,000 direct labor-hours
Predetermined overhead rate= $3.25 per direct labor-hour
Therefore the predetermined overhead rate was used last year was $3.25 per direct labor-hour
An economic profit includes implicit costs and accounting profit does not. A distinction between them is important because an accounting profit is a relative amount of money. Some amount of accounting profit may or may not be a sufficient amount of profit to keep an entrepreneur in:________
Answer:
his/ her present line of business
Explanation:
Economic profit is accounting profit less implicit cost
Accounting cost is total revenue less explicit cost
Implicit cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives
Explicit cost is the actual cost incurred in carrying out an activity.
In determining profit, it is essential to consider implicit cost to determine if the business is earning economic profit

$43,000
Explanation:
The gross domestic product (GDP) of the United States is defined as the market value of allfinal goods and services produced within the United States in a given period of time. Based on this definition, indicate which of the following transactions will be included in (that is, directly increase) the GDP of the United States in 2018.
a. An accountant starts a client's 2018 tax return on April 14, 2019, finishing it just before midnight on April 15, 2019. Chocolate Express, a Swiss chocolate company, produces a chocolate bar at a plant in Illinois on December 5, 2018.
b. An elementary school student buys the chocolate bar on December 24. Rotato, a U.S. tire company, produces a set of tires at a plant in Michigan on September 13, 2018. It sells the set of tires to Speedmaster for use in the production of a two-door coupe that will be made in the United States in 2018. (Note: Focus exclusively on whether production of the set of tires increases GDP directly, and ignore the effect of production of the two-door coupe on GDP.)
c. Zippycar, a U.S. automobile company, produces a convertible at a manufacturing plant in Minneapolis on January 9, 2018. It sells the car at a dealership in San Diego on February 24, 2018.
d. Athleticus, a U.S. shoe company, produces a pair of sneakers at a plant in Vietnam on March 17, 2018. Athleticus imports the pair of sneakers into the United States on May 21, 2018.
Answer:
Chocolate Express, a Swiss chocolate company, produces a chocolate bar at a plant in Illinois on December 5, 2018.
b. An elementary school student buys the chocolate bar on December 24..
c. Zippycar, a U.S. automobile company, produces a convertible at a manufacturing plant in Minneapolis on January 9, 2018. It sells the car at a dealership in San Diego on February 24, 2018.
d. Athleticus, a U.S. shoe company, produces a pair of sneakers at a plant in Vietnam on March 17, 2018. Athleticus imports the pair of sneakers into the United States on May 21, 2018.
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Net export = exports – imports
When exports exceed import there is a trade deficit and when import exceeds import, there is a trade surplus.
Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:
1. services not rendered to oneself
2. Activities not reported to the government
3. illegal activities
4. sale or purchase of used products
5. sale or purchase of intermediate products
The accountant's work would be included in 2019's GDP
The chocolate purchase would be included in GDP as part of consumption expenditure
Tire is an intermediate good in this question and would not be included in GDP
The purchase of the shoe from Vietnam would have no effect on GDP because it decreases net export
(b) The citizens of this country are in general very clever people, but they are not good at multiplying by 2. This made shopping for potatoes excruciatingly difficult for many citizens. Therefore it was decided to introduce a new unit of currency, such that potatoes would be the numeraire. A sack of potatoes costs one unit of the new currency while the same relative prices apply as in the past. In terms of the new currency, what is the price of meatballs
Answer: 2 sacks of potatoes
Explanation:
In the past, meatballs cost 4 crowns per crock which was twice the price of Potatoes at 2 crowns per sack.
Now that potatoes were are the new currency but relative prices apply, the same notion above applies too.
If meatballs are twice the price of potatoes and potatoes are now the currency, then meatballs which are still twice the price of potatoes must be:
= 2 * 1 sack of potatoes
= 2 sacks of potatoes
If producing 200 buttons and 200 safety pins
daily is a 50% split of resources, where do we
see the opportunity cost if you decide to
produce 300 buttons and 100 safety pins?
A. The opportunity cost is still at 50%.
B. The opportunity cost is in producing fewer safety pins.
C. The opportunity cost is in the inefficiency of producing to
products.
D. The opportunity cost is in the market share for buttons.
Answer:
The correct option is - B. The opportunity cost is in producing fewer safety pins.
Explanation:
The correct option is - B. The opportunity cost is in producing fewer safety pins.
Reason -
Initially we produce 200 buttons and 200 safety pins and there are 50% split of resources.
Now, If we produce 300 buttons and 100 safety pins and there is no change in the split of resources, then
The opportunity cost of extra 100 buttons is sale amount we would have been getting if we make that 100 safety pins.

When developing baseline standards, it is vital to use industry best practices. Industry best practices standards enable one to justify choices being made to regulators. Furthermore, there is increased efficiency to be gained by modifying an existing standard as opposed to creating one from the ground up.
A. True
B. False
Answer:
A. True
Explanation:
A baseline may be defined as the minimum amount of security that a network, a device or a system must adhere to. They are generally mapped to the industry standards. It is applied to the several layers of the IT infrastructure of an organization.
When developing them, it is very important to make use of the industry best practices. It enables to justify the choices that are being made to the regulators.

The next dividend payment by Zone, Inc., will be $2.08 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a growth rate of 6 percent forever. If the stock currently sells for $42 per share, what is the required return
Answer:
10.95%
Explanation:
According to the gordon growth model,
the value of stock (price) = dividend / required return - growth rate
42 = 2.08/ r - 0.06
42(r-0.06) = 2.08
2.08/42 = r - 0.06
r = 10.95%

The distance between defects in an automated weaving process at Craft Mills, Inc. is exponentially distributed. On average there are 0.025 defects per foot. Use the random number 0.749 to simulate the distance between two defects. Give your answer to 3 decimal places. (Note: For this problem, the average (represented by tau) would be the average distance (in feet) between defects.)
Answer:
55.292 feets
Explanation:
Given that :
Average defect per foot, λ = 0.025
Random number generated = 0.791
Distance between two defects :
b(x) = 1 - e^-λx = random number
1 - e^-λx = 0.749
e^-λx = 0.749 - 1
λ = 0.025
e^-0.025x = - 0.251
Take the In of both sides ;
-0.025x = - ln(0.251)
0.025x = In(0.251)
x = In(0.251) / 0.025
x = 1.382302 / 0.025
x = 55.29209
x = 55.292 feets
Hence, distance between two defects is 55.292 feets

The bonds in our model have a maturity close to zero; they just pay the current interest rate, i, as a flow over time. We could consider, instead, a discount bond, such as a U.S. Treasury Bill. This type of asset has no explicit interest payments (called coupons) but pays a principal of, say, $1000 at a fixed date in the future. A Bill with one- year maturity pays off one year from the issue date, and similarly for 3-month or 6-month Bills. Let PB be the price of a discount bond with one-year maturity and principal of $1000. a. Is PB greater than or less than $1000.
a. Is P^B greater than or less than $1000?
b. What is the one-year interest rate on these discount bonds?
c. If prises, what happens to the interest rate on these bonds?
d. Suppose that, instead of paying $1000 in one year, the bond pays $1000 in two years. What is the interest rate per year on this two-year discount bond?
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Part a.
[tex]P^{B}[/tex] will be less than $1000.
Reason: [tex]P^{B}[/tex] + interest = $1000, since interest >0 (Cannot be negative)
Hence,
[tex]P^{B}[/tex] < $1000
Part b.
Assuming the amount of interest to be i, [tex]P^{B}[/tex] would be $1000 - I
Rate of interest would be:
($1000 - ($1000-i)) / ($1000 - i) = i / ($1000 - i)
Rate of interest = i / ($1000 - i)
Part c.
If [tex]P^{B}[/tex] rises, the interest rate on these bonds would come down. Going back to a. [tex]P^{B}[/tex] = $1000 - i, and if [tex]P^{B}[/tex] rises, it implies that i reduces, which means that rate of interest will be reduced.
Part d.
If $1000 is a payment two years later, it implies that i (refer to b.) is the interest for two years. Assuming annual compounding, let's calculate rate of interest as follows:
Interest for two year (i) = $1000 - [tex]P^{B}[/tex] at the rate of i per year
= [tex]P^{B}[/tex] X i / 100 + ([tex]P^{B}[/tex] X (1+i/100))X i/100
We can solve for i to get annual rate of interest.
Magazine sells subscriptions for $60 for 30 issues. The company collects cash in advance and then mails out the magazines to subscribers each month. Apply the revenue recognition principle to determine a. when Seacoast Magazine should record revenue for this situation. b. the amount of revenue Seacoast Magazine should record for five issues.
Answer:
a. Revenue is earned when when service or product are delivered to client. Thus Seacoast Magazine should recognize the revenue when it mails the magazines to its subscribers.
b. Total amount received is $60 for 30 issues.
Amount for 1 issues = Total cost / Number of issues of magazines = $60/30 = $2 per issue
Amount of 5 issues = $2 * 5 = $10
Therefore, Seacoast Magazine should record revenue $10 for 5 issues.
On December 1st, the company pays a local radio station $200,000 for 4 months of radio ads that are to be aired equally throughout December through March. Prepaid Advertising was debited on December 1st and no other entries regarding this transaction were made since then.
15. $ After the adjusting entry has been recorded on December 31", determine the amount of advertising expense for the year ended December 314 16. S After the adjusting entry has been recorded on December 31%, determine the ending balance in the prepaid advertising account that should be recorded on the December 31" Balance Sheet. Use the following transactions to answer questions
17-19 Determine the amount of revenue or expense that would be reported at the time of the transaction under the two methods. An example transaction has been completed for you.
Question Completion:
Journalize the adjusting entry.
Answer:
Adjusting Journal Entry:
December 31:
Debit Advertising Expense $50,000
Credit Prepaid Advertising $50,000
To record the advertising expense for the year (1 month's).
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
December 1: Prepaid Advertising for 4 months = $200,000
Advertising expense for the year (1 month) = $50,000 ($200,000/4 months)
Balance of Prepaid Advertising for 3 months = $150,000 ($200,000 *3/4)
b) The Adjusting Journal entry recognizes the advertising expense that relates to the year and carry forward the prepaid balance to the next accounting year. Expenses and revenue are recorded when the services are consumed or rendered and not when cash is exchanged. In this case, the $200,000 is not recognized as advertising expense for the current year. Instead, only $50,000 is recorded as expense. The balance of $150,000 is carried forward to the next year when the service will be consumed.
Kara files her income tax return 64 days after the due date of the return without obtaining an extension from the IRS. Along with the return, she remits a check for $15,400, which is the balance of the tax she owes. Note: Assume 30 days in a month.
Required:
Disregarding the interest element, enter Kara's penalty amount for each, failure to file and failure to pay.
Failure to pay________$
Failure to file________$
Answer:
failure to file :$2079
failure to pay:$231
Explanation:
given data
remits a check = $15,400
days in a month = 30
return = 64 days
solution
computation of Kara's penalty amount for failure to pay
failure to pay will be
failure to pay = 0.5% of tax owed × number of months .......................1
failure to pay = 0.5% × $15400 × 3
failure to pay = $231
and
Computation of Kara's penalty amount for failure to file
failure to file will be
failure to file = (5% of tax owed × number of months or part thereof) - failure to pay penalty .......................2
failure to file = (5% × $15400 × 3) - $231
failure to file = $2310 - $231
failure to file = $2079
Pack-and-Go, a new competitor to FedEx and UPS, does intra-city package deliveries in seven major metropolitan areas. The performance of Pack-and-Go is measured by management as: (1) delivery time (relative to budgeted delivery time), (2) on-time delivery rates (defined as agreed-upon delivery date/time plus or minus a specified cushion), and (3) percentage of lost or damaged deliveries. In response to competitive pressures, Pack-and-Go is evaluating an investment in new technology that would improve customer service and delivery quality, particularly in terms of items (2) and (3) above. The annual cost of the new technology, for each of the seven metropolitan areas serviced by Pack-and-Go, is expected to be $80,000. You have gathered the following information regarding delivery performance under both existing operations and after implementing the new technology:

Based on a recent marketing study commissioned by Pack-and-Go, the company estimates that each percentage point increase in the on-time performance rate would lead to an annual revenue increase of $10,000. The average contribution margin ratio for packages delivered by Pack-and-Go is estimated as 40%.
Required:
1. From a financial perspective, should pack-and-Go invest in the new technology?
2. Based on the data collected by Pack-and-Go, the company is fairly confident about the reduction in costs associated with lost or damaged packages. However, because of uncertainties in terms of pricing in the markets in which Pack-and-Go operates, it is less sure about the predicted increase in revenues associated with the implementation of the new technology. What is the break-even increase in annual revenue that would justify the investment in the new technology?
Answer:
Pack-and-Go
1. From a financial perspective, Pack-and-Go should invest in the new technology. It will enjoy a contribution margin of 97.5%.
2. The break-even increase in annual revenue that would justify the investment in the new technology is:

damaged packages $12,000 $4,000
Increase in the on-time performance rate = 95% - 80% = 15%
Increase in annual Revenue = $10,000 * 15 = $150,000
Savings from lost or damaged packages = 8,000 ($12,000 - $4,000)
Total savings from new technology = $158,000
Annual cost of new technology = (80,000)
Net savings from new technology = $78,000
Contribution margin based on net savings = $78,000/$80,000 * 100 = 97.5%
Average contribution margin = 40%
