Consider the Great Woman who is stuck on an island in the Pacific Ocean. The open markets on the island provide many goods that the Great Woman can purchase, such as beef and coconut water. Suppose that the Great Woman’s preferences are such that coconut water is a neuter good and beef is an economic good. Draw the Great Woman’s indifference mapping for beef and coconut water. Place coconut water on the horizontal axis and beef on the vertical axis.
Answer:
attached below is the indifference curve
Explanation:
The indifference map attached shows the Great woman's preference for coconut water as a neuter good and beef as an economic good
as per instruction given in the question the Y axis represents the preference for beef, since coconut being a neuter good, the indifference curve will be a straight line .
note : movement along the y axis is in the upward direction.
A water bottle manufacturer plant uses a three-step procedure to produce each unit of bottled water. The first step, casting, which uses 35 labor hours to operate the furnace. The second step, quenching, which uses 35 labor hours, and the final step, dispatch, uses 70 labor hours. If the factory produces 14,000 bottles, than the productivity of labor is equal to:
Answer: 100 bottles per labor hour
Explanation:
To solve this question, we need to first calculate the number of labor hours used. This will be:
= 35 + 35 + 70
= 140 labor hours
Since the total number of bottles produced by the factory is 14000 bottles, then the productivity of labor will be equal to:
= Total production / Total labor hours .
= 14000 / 140
= 100 bottles per labor hour

In the market for pickled herring there are two competing producers: Abbas and Taste of Base. Both herring manufacturers have fixed cost of $240,000 a year and a constant marginal cost (AVC) of $1.80 per jar. In the current year, Abbas produced and sold 125,000 jars of herring while Taste of Base produced and sold 150,000 jars. Based on this information, we can expect Taste of Base's quantity sold to _____________ and its ________ in the future.
Answer: a. increase; average fixed cost to decrease.
Explanation:
Taste of Base produced and sold 150,000 jars of herring which was more than that of Abbas. As far as competition goes, Base is ahead of Abbas and this will only increase in future as they have the same cost yet are ahead. This efficiency will ensure that their quantity sold will increase.
Their average fixed cost will therefore decrease because average fixed cost is total fixed cost divided by the number of units produced so with a higher production level, there will be less average fixed cost.

Smith Company makes jars of homemade strawberry jam. Each jar is priced at $6.00 per unit. The costs of the ingredients to make each jar are $2.00. The containing jar itself costs $1.00. The company has monthly expenses of $2,000 for rent and insurance, $300 for heat and electricity, and $5,000 in monthly salary expenses. Last month the company sold 3,000 jars. What is the UNIT VARIABLE COST per jar
Answer:
Total variable cost= $1.97
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The cost of the ingredients to make each jar is $2.00.
The containing jar itself costs $1.00.
$300 for heat and electricity
$5,000 in monthly salary expenses.
Generally, the salary expense and electricity are mixed costs (fixed and variable components). In this case, we will treat them as a full variable cost.
Unitary Electricity= 300 / 3,000= $0.1
Unitary direct labor= 5,000 / 3,000= $1.67
Now, the total variable cost:
Total variable cost= 2 + 1 + 0.1 + 1.67
Total variable cost= $1.97

Question Completion
A manufacturer of mountain bikes has the following marginal cost function:
C(q)=600/(0.7q+5)
Answer:
a. The total cost = $3,492.40
b. The profit on the first 30 bikes is:
= $2,507.60
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Fixed cost for producing the bicycles = $2,800
Number of bicycles produced = 30
Selling price per bike = $200
Marginal cost (C(q)) =600/(0.7q+5)
= 600/ (0.7*30 + 5)
= 600/ (21 + 5)
= 600/26
= $23.08
Total cost = Fixed cost + (C(q))
= $2,800 + $23.08 * 30
= $2,800 + $692.40
= $3,492.40
Profit:
Sales revenue $6,000 ($200 * 30)
Less Total cost 3,492.40
Profit = $2,507.60

A sporting goods manufacturer budgets production of 59,000 pairs of ski boots in the first quarter and 50,000 pairs in the second quarter of the upcoming year. Each pair of boots requires 2 kilograms (kg) of a key raw material. The company aims to end each quarter with ending raw materials inventory equal to 20% of the following quarter's material needs. Beginning inventory for this material is 23,600 kg and the cost per kg is $8. What is the budgeted materials purchases cost for the first quarter?
Answer:
Purchases= 114,400 kg
Total purchase cost= $915,200
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning inventory= 23,600 kg
Cost per kg= $8
Production= 59,000 pairs
Desired ending inventory= (50,000*0.2)*2= 20,000 kg
To calculate the purchases, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Purchases= 59,000*2 + 20,000 - 23,600
Purchases= 114,400 kg
Total purchase cost= 114,400*8= $915,200

Explanation:
Marshall Welding Company has two service departments (Cafeteria and Human Resources) and two production departments (Machining and Assembly). The number of employees in each department follows. Cafeteria 20 Human Resources 30 Machining 100 Assembly 150 Marshall Welding uses the step-down method of cost allocation and allocates cost on the basis of employees. Human Resources cost amounts to $1,200,000, and the department provides more service to the firm than Cafeteria. How much Human Resources cost would be allocated to Machining
Answer:
the cost of Human Resources would be allocated to Machining is $480,000
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of Human Resources would be allocated to Machining is given below:
= Cost of the human resource × machining department ÷ (machining department + assembly department)
= $1,200,000 × 100 ÷ (100 + 150)
= $480,000
hence, the cost of Human Resources would be allocated to Machining is $480,000
There is an investment with the discount rate of 6 %. What should be the present value of the investment if we want to get a net cash flow of $17500;
a) After 1 year
b) After 2 years
c) After 3 years
Answer:
a. $16,509.434
b. $15,574.94
c. $14,693.34
Explanation:
The calculation of the present value for the following cases is
we know that
Present Value = Future Value ÷ (1+ rate of interest)^number of years
a. After one year
= $17,500 ÷ (1 + 0.06)^1
= $16,509.434
b. After 2 years
= $17,500 ÷ (1 + 0.06)^2
= $17,500 ÷ 1.1236
= $15,574.94
c. After 3 years
= $17,500 ÷ (1 + 0.06)^3
= $17,500 ÷ 1.191016
= $14,693.34
Therefore, the present value after one year, 2 years and third year is $16,509.434 ,$15,574.94 and $14,693.34 respectively
Suppose a drop in the compensating wage differential between risky jobs and safe jobs has been observed. Two explanations have been put forward: • Engineering advances have made it less costly to create a safe working environment. • The phenomenal success of a new reality show Die on the Job! has imbued millions of viewers with a romantic perception of work-related fatal risks. Using demand and supply diagrams of risky jobs, show how each of the two developments can explain the drop in the compensating wage differential. Can information on the number of workers employed in the risky occupation help determine which explanation is more plausible?
Answer and Explanation:
As shown in the question above, the advancement of engineering has allowed it to be cheaper for a company to promote a safe environment for professionals than to pay a higher salary for the risk they run within the work environment. This causes companies to modify the offer of risky jobs, as a way of reducing expenses. However, due to wage compensation, the demand for these jobs remains high, because professionals are attracted to compensation. To stop this demand, companies promote a compensation differential, which modifies the demand curve by decreasing it, which means that fewer people will look for these jobs.
Income from installment sales of properties included in pretax accounting income in 2021 exceeded that reported for tax purposes by $7 million. The installment receivable account at year-end 2021 had a balance of $8 million (representing portions of 2020 and 2021 installment sales), expected to be collected equally in 2022 and 2023. Sherrod was assessed a penalty of $2 million by the Environmental Protection Agency for violation of a federal law in 2021. The fine is to be paid in equal amounts in 2021 and 2022. Sherrod rents its operating facilities but owns one asset acquired in 2020 at a cost of $112 million. Depreciation is reported by the straight-line method, assuming a four-year useful life. On the tax return, deductions for depreciation will be more than straight-line depreciation the first two years but less than straight-line depreciation the next two years ($ in millions):
Answer:
1. Taxable income = $76 million
2. Net income = $65.25 million
3-a. Net current Deferred Tax Asset = $1.95 million
3-b. Net current Deferred Tax Liability = $6.25 million
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question.
The explanation of the answers I now provided as follows:
1. Determine the amounts necessary to record income taxes for 2021, and prepare the appropriate journal entry.
1-a. Note: See the attached excel file for the determination of the amounts necessary to record income taxes for 2021 and the taxable income.
From the attached excel file, we have:
Taxable income = $76 million
1-b. The journal entries will look as follows:
Details Debit ($'m) Credit ($'m)
Tax expense (6.75 + 19 - 3) 22.75
Deferred tax asset (25% * (1 + 13 - 2)) 3.00
Deferred tax liability (25% * (7 + 20)) 6.75
Tax payable (25% * 76) 19.00
(To record tax expense.)
2. What is the 2021 net income?
This can be determined as follows:
Net income = Pretax accounting income - Tax expense = $88 million - $ 22.75 million = $65.25 million
3. Show how any deferred tax amounts should be classified and reported in the 2021 balance sheet.
3-a. The deferred tax amounts should be classified as follows.
From installment receivable in point (a) in the question:
Current deferred tax liability in 2022 (25%* ($4 / 2)) = $1
Noncurrent deferred tax liability in 2023 (25%* ($4 / 2)) = $1
From the depreciation in point (c.) in the question:
Noncurrent deferred tax liability (25%* ((24 + 24) - (14 + 7))) = $6.75
From the Warranty Expense/Payable in point (d.) of the question:
Current deferred tax asset (40%* 3) = $1.20
From the Acrrued Expense/Payable in point (e.) of the question:
Current deferred tax asset (25%* 7) = $1.75
Noncurrent deferred tax liability (25% * $6) = $1.50
3-b. These will be reported reported in the 2021 balance sheet as follows:
Sherrod, Inc.,
Balance Sheet (Partial)
As the Year Ended 31 December, 2021
Details $'Million
Assets:
Current Deferred Tax Asset (1.20 + 1.75) 2.95
Current Deferred Tax Liability -1.00
Net current Deferred Tax Asset 1.95
Liabilities:

Leaders at ElectroExpo Inc. want to develop a results-oriented organizational culture. To do this, they devise a new system to maintain project logs in order to record any lags in project execution. They also encourage their employees to work on every alternate Saturday of a month in order to increase productivity in exchange for additional compensation. However, the leaders face stiff resistance from the employees because they are not comfortable with this change. In this case, which of the following steps should the leaders take?
a. The leaders should take legal actions against the employees who oppose the change or who instigate other employees to resist the change.
b. The leaders should find ways to enable the employees to see the value in changes that are needed for the organization to succeed.
c. The leaders should promise to fulfill all the demands of the employees and empower them to make important business decisions.
d. The leaders should lay off the employees who are resisting the changes in the organization.
Answer: b. The leaders should find ways to enable the employees to see the value in changes that are needed for the organization to succeed
Explanation:
With regards to the information given in the question, the best option will be for the leaders to find ways to enable the employees to see the value in changes that are needed for the organization to succeed.
In every organization, communication is key between the management and the employees. In this case, the leaders should inform the employees about the reason that they are taking the decision and how the decision will have an impact on the organization.
Taking legal steps against the employees or laying them off isn't the right thing to do. The employees should be made to see the value in the changes to be made.
Therefore, the correct option is B.
Percent of Sales Method At the end of the current year, Accounts Receivable has a balance of $615,000, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a credit balance of $5,500, and sales for the year total $2,770,000. Bad debt expense is estimated at 1.1% of sales. a. Determine the amount of the adjusting entry for uncollectible accounts. $fill in the blank 1 30,470 b. Determine the adjusted balances of Accounts Receivable, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, and Bad Debt Expense.
Answer:
a. Adjusting entry is the bad debt expense:
= Sales * Percent of sales for bad debt
= 2,770,000 * 1.1%
= $30,470
b.
Accounts Receivable will remain the same as it has already been adjusted for bad debt = $615,000
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
= Bad debt + Credit balance
= 30,470 + 5,500
= $35,970
Bad Debt Expense = $30,470
Utilize the following financial information to answer the question. Current value of land $2,000,000 Cost to rebuild the physical structure $7,500,000 Furniture, fixtures and equipment $ 500,000 Economic deductions $ 800,000 Functional obsolescence $ 200,000 Physical deterioration $1,000,000 Based on the cost replacement approach, how much would be estimated value of the property
Answer: $8,000,000
Explanation:
Based on the cost replacement approach:
Estimated value = Land Value + Replacement Value - Deductions from value
Replacement value = Cost to rebuild physical structures + Furniture
= 7,500,000 + 500,000
= $8,000,000
Economic deductions:
= 800,000 + 200,000 + 1,000,000
= $2,000,000
Estimated value = 2,000,000 + 8,000,000 - 2,000,000
= $8,000,000
Misterio Company uses a standard costing system. During the past quarter, the following variances were computed:
Variable overhead efficiency variance $ 24,000 U
Direct labor efficiency variance 120,000 U
Direct labor rate variance 10,400 U
Misterio applies variable overhead using a standard rate of $2 per direct labor hour allowed. Two direct labor hours are allowed per unit produced. (Only one type of product is manufactured.) During the quarter, Misterio used 30 percent more direct labor hours than should have been used.
Required:
1. What were the actual direct labor hours worked? The total hours allowed?
2. What is the standard hourly rate for direct labor? The actual hourly rate?
3. How many actual units were produced?
Answer:
1. Total hours allowed = 40,000
Actual direct labour hours worked = 52,000.
2. Standard hourly rate = $10
Actual rate = $10.2
3. Actual output= 20,000 units
Explanation:
The variable overhead efficiency variance in hours= variable overhead efficiency variance in Dollar/Variable overhead standard rate
= $24,000/$2= 12,000 hours unfavorable
Let the actual hours be V
Let the standard hours for the actual output achieved be = V
The actual hours worked = 130% of the standard hours allowed
Actual hours =130% × V = 1.3V
1.3V - V= 12,000
V=12000/0.3=40,000
Total hours allowed = 40,000
Actual labour hours= 130%× 40,000=52,000
Total hours allowed = 40,000
Actual direct labour hours worked = 52,000.
Standard labour rate =
Labour effciency variance in Dollar /Labour efficiency variance in hours
= 120,000/12,000=$10
Standard hourly rate = $10
Rate variance = (Actual rate - standard rate)× Actual hours
Let the actual rate be = Y
10,400 = ( Y - 10) × 52,000
10,400= 52000Y- 520,000
Y= (520,000 + 10,400)/52,000=10.2
Actual rate = $10.2
Standard labour hours for actual output = Actual output × standard hours
Let the actual output be = m
40,000 = m × 2
m= 40,000/2= 20,000 units
Actual output= 20,000 units

Home Inspirations. Hailey works for her father in a family-owned business called Home Inspirations, a bedding company that has been in operation since the 1800s. When her father retires, Hailey plans on taking over the business. Hailey is aware of many things about the company that she likes, and a few things that she does not. She has particularly noted that when the economy has low unemployment and high total income, sales are great. However, at any other time, sales are not so good.
Currently, all of the bedding items are created in one place and everyone works on various tasks every day. Hailey is thinking about streamlining the production process so that individuals would be responsible for only one task. She believes that if production would increases, she could sell her products at a lower price and increase revenue. She knows that most bedding products available in the market are very similar in nature and satisfy the same need. However, if she were able to lower prices, this might give her company the competitive advantage that it needs. She would then be able to invest money in differentiating her products by providing unique features, building the brand name, and offering services such as free delivery. She is also considering selling her products on the Internet. Hailey knows that her father does not like change very much, but she feels these changes are important for the future of the company.
Hailey feels that for productivity to improve, the company must practice: _________.
a. Free enterprise,
b. Work ethics,
c. Specialization,
d. Cultural diversity,
e. Pure competition.
Answer:
c. Specialization,
Explanation:
Since in the question it is mentioned that she selling her product on the internet and she knows her father does not like the changes but she knows that it would be important for the company .
So here if she wants to improve the productivity of the product so she must practice in specialization as if the product is different from the competitor in terms of quality, price, quantity, attractiveness, etc so the chances of increasing the sales would be high
Hence, the option c is correct
Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
a. A 10-year coupon bond would have more price risk than a 5-year coupon bond, but all 10-year coupon bonds have the same amount of price risk.
b. A zero coupon bond of any maturity will have more price risk than any coupon bond, even a perpetuity.
c. If their maturities and other characteristics were the same, a 5% coupon bond would have more price risk than a 10% coupon bond.
d. A 10-year coupon bond would have more reinvestment risk than a 5-year coupon bond, but all 10-year coupon bonds have the same amount of reinvestment risk.
e. If their maturities and other characteristics were the same, a 5% coupon bond would have less price risk than a 10% coupon bond.
Answer: c. If their maturities and other characteristics were the same, a 5% coupon bond would have more price risk than a 10% coupon bond.
Explanation:
Price risk of a bond is the risk that the bond changes price or rather the degree of price volatility. Bond prices change in reaction to market interest rates with higher rates meaning lower prices and lower rates meaning higher prices.
When the market interest rates rise above the Coupon on a bond, the bond price will fall below par and when the interest rates are below the coupon, the bond will be above par.
A 5% coupon bond will be more prone to changes in prices because market interest rates are generally low and fluctuate below 10% which means that they will affect the 5% bond more than the 10% because there are better chances of rates rising above or falling below 5% than there are of 10%.
You got asked to analyze a 5-year project for your firm. The project produces an annual revenue of $28,500, but requires an annual labor and materials cost of $5,000. To initiate the project your firm must invest $20,000. The salvage value of the project is $0 at the end of the 5-year useful life.
Required:
Use straight line depreciation and a 40% income tax rate to compute the:
a. after-tax cash flows
b. the IRR for the ATCF of this project.
Answer:
= 15700
73.5%
Explanation:
Cash flow = (revenue - cost - depreciation) (1 - tax rate) + depreciation = 15700
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
20,000 / 5 = 4,000
($28,500 - $5000 - $4000) x (1-0.4) + 4000 = $15700
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = -20,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 5 = 15,700

Stephen Company had the following partial list of account balances at year-end: Accounts Receivable: $9,000 Cost of Goods Sold: $34,100 Sales Revenue: $57,200 Accounts Payable: $7,500 Sales Discounts: $1,600 Merchandise Inventory: $5,900 Operating Expenses: $8,400 Sales Returns and Allowances: $4,300 The amount of Gross Profit shown on the income statement would be: A) $ 26,200 B) $ 8,800 C) $ 17,200 D) $ 8,200 E) $ 11,300
Answer:
The correct option is C) $17,200.
Explanation:
The amount of Gross Profit shown on the income statement can be calculated as follows:
Net sales revenue = Sales Revenue - Sales Discounts - ales Returns and Allowances = $57,200 - $1,600 - $4,300 = $51,300
Gross profit = Net sales revenue - Cost of Goods Sold = $51,300 - $34,100 = $17,200
Therefore, the correct option is C) $17,200. That is, the amount of Gross Profit shown on the income statement would be $17,200.
emiannual coupon bonds with the same risk (Aaa) and maturity (20 years) as your company's bonds have a nominal (not EAR) yield to maturity of 9%. Your company's treasurer is thinking of issuing, at par, some $1,000 par value, 20-year, quarterly payment bonds. She has asked you to determine what quarterly interest payment, in dollars, the company would have to set in order to provide the same effective annual rate (EAR) as those on the 20-year, semiannual payment bonds. What would the quarterly, dollar interest payment be
Answer:
quarterly coupon payment = $22.25
Explanation:
effective annual interest rate of current bonds = (1 + 9%/2)² - 1 = 9.2025%
if the new bonds will have quarterly payments, then the nominal interest rate should be:
1.092025 = (1 + r/4)⁴
⁴√1.092025 = ⁴√(1 + r/4)⁴
1.02225 = 1 + r/4
0.02225 = r/4
r = 8.9% annual
quarterly rate = 2.225%
quarterly coupon payment = $22.25
Fore Farms reported a pretax operating loss of $210 million for financial reporting purposes in 2021. Contributing to the loss were (a) a penalty of $10 million assessed by the Environmental Protection Agency for violation of a federal law and paid in 2021 and (b) an estimated loss of $20 million from accruing a loss contingency. The loss will be tax deductible when paid in 2022. The enacted tax rate is 25%. There were no temporary differences at the beginning of the year and none originating in 2021 other than those described above. Required: 1. Prepare the journal entry to recognize the income tax benefit of the net operating loss in 2021. 2. What is the net operating loss reported in 2021 income statement
Answer:
Fore Farms
1. Journal Entry
Debit Net operating loss $180 million
Credit Loss Carryforward Relief $180 million
To record the income tax benefit of the net operating loss.
2. The net operating loss reported in 2021 income statement is $180 million.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Enacted tax rate = 25%
2021 Reported pretax operating loss = $210 million
Less:
Penalty for EPA violation = 10 million
Loss contingency accrued
(temporary difference) = 20 million
Net pretax operating loss = $180 million
b) The net operating loss (NOL) suffered by Fore Farms, after adjusting non-allowable penalty for EPA violation and temporary differences, will be used to offset the company's tax payments in subsequent tax periods. This is an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tax provision called a "loss carryforward." It allows some tax relief to Fore Farms for losing money in 2021.
Recently, the management of Carrefour reviewed its situation under conditions of stagnant growth and increasing competition from international rivals like Wal-Mart, Tesco, etc. A team of consultants has been hired to evaluate the retail giant’s performance. As one of case team members, what metrics would you use to evaluate Carrefour’s performance?
Answer:
Market Dominance.
Explanation:
I believe that the best metric to evaluate in such a situation would be Market Dominance. In other words, the percentage of dominance that Carrefour has in its own market, in comparison to the rest of the competition such as Wal-Mart and Tesco. This would allow management to see if they have lost, maintained, or gained market dominance in this period of time which will in term give them an idea of their performance within the market and whether or not they should be worried about the competition.
