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.
How can we calculate IRR ?
Consider Amanda and Zelda. They both will save $6,000 per year until they retire at age 70. Amanda and Zelda, however, will start saving at different ages. Amanda will start saving when she is 30 years old. Zelda will start saving when she is 50 years old. Assuming the interest rate each year is 8%, how much money will the first year of savings amount to when they retire
Answer:
Total FV= $1,828,910.9
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Amanda:
Annual deposit= $6,000
Number of periods= 40 years
Interest rate= 8%
Zelda:
Annual deposit= $6,000
Number of periods= 20 years
Interest rate= 8%
To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
Amanda:
FV= {6,000*[(1.08^40) - 1]} / 0.08
FV= $1,554,339.11
Zelda:
FV= {6,000*[(1.08^20) - 1]} / 0.08
FV= $274,571.79
Total FV= $1,828,910.9
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.
A job was budgeted to require 3 hours of labor per unit at $8.00 per hour. The job consisted of 7,100 units and was completed in 19,300 hours at a total labor cost of $172,800. What is the total labor cost variance?
Answer:
$2,400 unfavorable
Explanation:
Given that;
Time = 3 hours
Cost of labor = $8 per hour
Number of units = 7,100
Total actual labor cost = $172,800
Standard labor cost = 7,100 × 3 × $8 = $170,400
Total labor cost variance = Standard labor cost - Actual labor cost variance
Total labor cost variance = $170,400 - $172,800
Total labor cost variance = -$2,400
The negative sign here means that it is unfavorable, hence total labor cost variance is $2,400 unfavorable
From 2006 to 2010, per capita real gross domestic product (GDP) in Japan grew an average of 0.46 percent per year. At that rate, according to the Rule of 70, in roughly how many years will the Japanese economy double in size?
Answer:
152.17 years
Explanation:
The rule of 70 is used to calculate how long it would take the GDP of a country to double given its growth rate
Number of years it would take GDP to double = 70 / average annual growth rate
70 / 0.46% = 152.17 years
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.
Claire Corporation is planning to issue bonds with a face value of $240,000 and a coupon rate of 8 percent. The bonds mature in two years and pay interest quarterly every March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31. All of the bonds were sold on January 1 of this year. Claire uses the effective-interest amortization method and also uses a discount account. Assume an annual market rate of interest of 12 percent.
Required:
a. Provide the journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds.
b. Provide the journal entry to record the interest payment on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 of this year.
c. What bonds payable amount will Claire report on this year’s December 31 balance sheet?
Answer:
a) issue price
PV of face value = $240,000 / (1 + 3%)⁸ = $189,458
PV of coupon payments = $4,800 x 7.0197 (PV annuity factor, 3%, 8 periods) = $33,695
market price = $223,153
January 1, bonds issued at a discount
Dr Cash 223,153
Dr Discount on bonds payable 16,847
Cr Bonds payable 240,000
b) discount amortization = ($223,153 x 3%) - $4,800 = $1,895
discount amortization = ($225,048 x 3%) - $4,800 = $1,951
discount amortization = ($226,999 x 3%) - $4,800 = $2,010
discount amortization = ($229,009 x 3%) - $4,800 = $2,070

Moss exchanges a warehouse for a building he will use as an office building. The adjusted basis of the warehouse is $ 600,000 and the fair market value of the office building is $360,000. In addition, Moss receives cash of $ 150,000. What is the recognized gain or loss and the basis of the office building
Answer:
Moss
The recognized loss and the basis of the office building are:
Recognized loss = $90,000
Basis of office building = $360,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Adjusted basis of warehouse = $600,000
Fair market value of the office building = $360,000
Cash received in exchange = $150,000
Total value of assets received in exchange of the warehouse = $510,000 ($360,000 + $150,000)
Recognized loss = $90,000 ($600,000 - $510,000).
b) From the above transactions, Moss will recognize a loss of $90,000. This is the difference between the adjusted basis of the warehouse and the fair market value of the office building and the cash that Moss received in exchange for the warehouse.
Premium priced products like those offered by Louis Vuitton are not likely to be distributed _______.
Answer:
b. intensively
Explanation:
Louis Vuitton products mostly deal with the suitcases, shoes, watches, jewelleries, sunglasses, etc. Their products would be sold via departments i.e. rental, online websites, stores, etc
So as per the given situation, their premium and pricing products could not be allocated intensively as for many people it cant be afforded due to the high prices.
So the correct option is b.
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.
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
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.

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 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.
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
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 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
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

Suppose the economy starts off producing Natural Real GDP. Next, aggregate supply rises, ceteris paribus. As a result, the price level falls in the short run. In the long run, when the economy has moved back to producing Natural Real GDP, the price level will be Question 4 options:
Answer:
The price level will be equal to what it was before there was a rise in the aggregate supply.
Explanation:
In economics, natural gross domestic product (Natural Real GDP) can be described as the maximum level of real GDP that can be sustained by an economy over the long term. The Natural Real GDP is also known as the potential output.
From the question, since the economy has moved back to producing Natural Real GDP which is the maximum real GDP sustainable, the price level will be equal to what it was before there was a rise in the aggregate supply.
Therefore, the price level will be equal to what it was before there was a rise in the aggregate supply.

What are dividends?
A dividend or dividends can be define as a distribution of profits by a corporation to its shareholders. When a corporation earns a profit or surplus, it is able to pay a portion of the profit as a dividend to shareholders. Any amount not distributed is taken to be re-invested in the business which is called retained earnings.
The current year profit as well as the retained earnings of previous years are available for distribution and a corporation is usually prohibited from paying a dividend out of its capital. Distribution to shareholders may be in cash which is usually a deposit into a bank account or, if the corporation has a dividend reinvestment plan, the amount can be paid by the issue of further shares or by share repurchase. In some cases, the distribution may be of assets.
The dividend received by a shareholder is income of the shareholder and may be subject to income tax. The tax treatment of this income varies considerably between jurisdictions.
The corporation does not receive a tax deduction for the dividends it pays.

A real estate agent would like to predict the selling price of a single-family house by predicting the price (in thousands of dollars) based on the square footage (in 100 square feet). Predict the price of a 3000 square foot house (in thousands of dollars).
Answer: 134.7088 (thousands of dollars)
Explanation:
This can be solved with a regression equation based on the details in the question.
y being the price of the house.
x as the independent variable is given as 3.8785
c as the intercept is given as 18.3538
The equation s;
y = 3.8785x + 18.3538
x will be 30 because the variables are based on 100 square feet so, 3,000/100 = 30
y = 3.8785 *(30) + 18.3538
= $134.7088 (thousands of dollars)
= $134,708.80
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
