Answer:
increasing returns to scale.
Explanation:
The returns to scale mean the rate at which there is change in the output when the inputs are changed by a similar factor
While on the other hand, an increasing return to scale refers that if there is an increase in input so by a larger proportion, the output is also increased as compared with the input
Therefore according to the given situation, since by adding the third roommate, it declines the amount of money by each one in respect to rent, utilities so it describes the increasing return to scale

Explanation:
The accounting equation indicates the balance that exists between the basic elements of accounting. It states that Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity. For every transaction, this equation holds true, because by the double entry system of bookkeeping, two or more accounts are always involved in every business transaction.
Centore Inc. has provided the following data for the month of June. There were no beginning inventories; consequently, the direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead applied listed below are all for the current month. Work In Process Finished Goods Cost of Goods Sold Total Direct materials $ 650 $ 7,590 $ 24,860 $ 33,100 Direct labor 2,180 20,700 67,800 90,680 Manufacturing overhead applied 930 7,130 22,940 31,000 Total $ 3,760 $ 35,420 $ 115,600 $ 154,780 Manufacturing overhead for the month was underapplied by $3,000. The company allocates any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead among work in process, finished goods, and cost of goods sold at the end of the month on the basis of the overhead applied during the month in those accounts. The work in process inventory at the end of June after allocation of any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead for the month is closest to:
Answer:
$3,833
Explanation:
The computation of the work in process inventory after allocating the underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead for the month is shown below:
But before that we need to compute the amount i.e added which is given below
Amount added is
= Total work in process × manufacturing overhead underapplied ÷ total cost
= $3,760 × $3,000 ÷$154,780
= $72.88
Now the amount of work in process inventory at the end of June is
= $3,760 + $72.88
= $3,833

On November 1, Alan Company signed a 120-day, 10% note payable, with a face value of $27,000. What is the maturity value of the note on March 1
Answer: $27,900
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that on November 1, Alan Company signed a 120-day, 10% note payable, with a face value of $27,000.
The maturity value of the note on the note on March 1 will be the face value plus the interest. This will be:
= $27,000 + [($27,000 × 10%)/360 × 120]
= $27,000 + [($2700/360) × 120]
= $27,000 + ($7.5 × 120)
= $27,000 + $900
= $27,900
A firm currently sells $1,750,000 annually of an expensive product line. That firm is considering a similar, less expensive, discount line, and projects sales of $380,000. The discount line is expected to reduce sales of the expensive product line to $1,575,000. What is the incremental revenue associated with the discount product line?
Answer:
$175,000
Explanation:
A firm currently makes an amount of $1,750,000 annually from an expensive product line
The firm projects a sales of $380,000
The discount line is expected to cause a reduction in the sales of the expensive product line to $1,575,000
Therefore, the incremental revenue associated with the discount product line can be calculated as follows
= $1,750,000-$1,575,000
= $175,000
Hence the incremental revenue associated with the discount product line is $175,000
A stock has an expected return of 13 percent, the risk-free rate is 4.1 percent, and the market risk premium is 5.3 percent. What is the stock's beta?
Answer:
Stock Beta = 1.68
Explanation:
The expected return on stock can be estimate using te capital asset pricing model (CAPM).
The capital pricing model establishes the relationship between expected return from a stock and its systematic risk . The systematic risk is that which affects all players (businesses and firms) in the entire market, such risks are occasioned by changes in interest rate, exchange rate e.t.c
According to the model , the expected return is computed as follows
E(r) = Rf + β(Rm-Rf)
Rf- risk -free rate, Rm-Rf - market premium , β- beta
DATA:
E(r) = 13%, Rm-Rf = 5.3 , risk-free rate- 4.1%, β?
Applying this model, we have
13% = 4.1% + β× (5.3%)
0.13 = 0.041 + 0.053β
Collecting like terms
0.053β= 0.13 - 0.041
divide both sides by 0.053
β= (0.13 - 0.041)/0.053
β = 1.679
Stock Beta = 1.68
A mutual fund sponsor has three different income funds, holding AAA rated debt securities with similar maturities. Assuming that the expense ratios for the funds are identical, which fund would have the lowest yield from investment income?
Answer: C. Municipal Bond Fund
Explanation:
Municipal Bonds would be the fund with the lowest yield from investment income. This is assuming they are all AAA rated debt securities with similar maturities. This is because Municipal bonds are tax exempt and not very risky so their yields will be quoted as less as they do not have to compensate investors on tax losses.
Corporate Bonds are the riskiest of the options given so they will have the highest yield as they have to compensate for both risk and taxes.
Government Bonds are considered very low when it comes to risk but they are taxed by the Federal Government so have higher yields to compensate for tax.

For much of the 1990s, the U.S. economy was experiencing long-run economic growth, low unemployment, and a stable inflation rate. Which of the following would give rise to these outcomes?
A. an increase in aggregate demand and short-run aggregate supply
B. a decrease in aggregate demand and short-run aggregate supply
C. a decrease in aggregate demand and an increase in short-run aggregate supply
D. an increase in aggregate demand and a decrease in short-run ag
Answer: . an increase in aggregate demand and short-run aggregate supply
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that during the 1990s, the economy of the United States was experiencing long-run economic growth, low unemployment, and a stable inflation rate.
The reason for this is due to an increase in aggregate demand and short-run aggregate supply. This two factors will lead to the long run economic growth which the United States experienced.
The city of New Orleans has 200 advertising companies, 199 of which employ designers of normal ability at a salary of $100,000 a year. The firms that employ designers of normal ability each collect $400,000 in revenue a year, which is just enough to ensure that each earns exactly a normal profit. However, the 200th company employs Janus Jacobs, an unusually talented designer. Because of Jacobs's talent, this company collects $1,000,000 in revenue a year.
Required:
a. How much will Jacobs earn?
b. What proportion of his annual salary will be economic rent?
c. Will the advertising company for which Jacobs works be able to earn an economic profit?
Answer:
a. $700,000
b. 6/7 or 85.7%
c. No they will not.
Explanation:
a. Jacobs will earn the normal salary that the other designers in the other companies are getting in addition to the incremental income he brings to the company as a result of his talents.
Incremental income = Revenue with Jacobs - Revenue without Jacobs
= 1,000,000 - 400,000
= $600,000
Jacobs earnings = Normal designer earnings + incremental income
= 100,000 + 600,000
= $700,000
b. Economic rent is the excess amount that the company is paying Jacobs over what it should normally cost to get a designer.
Normal cost of designer is $100,000. Company is therefore paying an economic rent of $600,000.
Proportion of Jacobs salary that is economic rent = [tex]\frac{Economic rent}{Jacobs annual earning}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{600,000}{700,000}[/tex]
= 6/7 or 85.7%
c. The company hiring Jacobs will not be making an economic profit because for them to make an economic profit they would have to be making more than the $400,000 that the other firms make. They cannot make this amount because for them to do so they would have to reduce the amount they pay Jacobs. If they do so, Jacobs would leave for greener pastures and then they would be making the same $400,000 that the rest are making.

Polly Smith, a supervisor at Kroger's, was recently evaluated by her subordinates. Their responses indicated that Polly uses Theory X assumptions when dealing with employees. For example, one of the comments indicated that she treats employees as if they:_______.
a. naturally like work.
b. will work toward goals they are committed to.
c. have little ambition.
d. have the potential to accomplish the organization's goals.
e. seek out and accept responsibility.
Answer:
c. have little ambition.
Explanation:
Theory X is a theory that refers to people's behavior at work and suggests that managers tend to think that people are not motivated and don't like to work, avoid responsibility, don't have ambition and because of that, they have to be rewarded or punished to complete their job. According to that, the answer is that for example, one of the comments indicated that she treats employees as if they have little ambition because theory X says that managers have a negative opinion of people.
The other options are not right because they all refer to theory Y in which managers tend to have a positive view of their workers and think that they like their work, are motivated and are willing to take responsibility.
On January 1, you sold short one round lot (that is, 100 shares) of Four Sisters stock at $21 per share. On March 1, a dividend of $2 per share was paid. On April 1, you covered the short sale by buying the stock at a price of $15 per share. You paid 50 cents per share in commissions for each transaction. What is the value of your account on April 1?
Answer:
The value of your account on April 1 is $300
Explanation:
Proceed from short sales
Sales proceed = $2,100 ($21 * 100 shares)
Less Commission= $50 ($0.50 * 100 shares)
Proceeds = $2,050
Dividend payment
= 100 shares * $2
=$200
Total Cost of buy back
Buy back= $1,500 ($15 * 100 shares)
Add commission= $50 ($0.50 * 100 shares)
Total cost = $1,550
Value of Account on April 1
Proceed = $2,050
Less Dividend payment = $200
Less Total cost of buy back= $1,550
Value of Account = $300
Therefore, the value of your account on April 1 is $300

In private markets, decisions to provide goods or services to the market are generally made if marginal benefits ________ marginal costs. in comparison, the decisions to provide goods and services by governments are made through _______. as a result, governments may approve projects whose costs _________ their benefits.
Answer:
1. a. Average Tax rate = 130/2,000 = 6.5%
Marginal Tax Rate = (130 - 0)/ (2,000 - 0) = 6.5%
b. Average Tax rate = 650/10,000 = 6.5%
Marginal Tax Rate = [tex]\frac{650-130}{10,000-2,000}[/tex] = 6.5%
c. Average Tax rate = 1,300/20,000 = 6.5%
Marginal Tax Rate = [tex]\frac{1,300-650}{20,000-10,000}[/tex] = 6.5%
d. Average Tax rate = 6,500/100,000 = 6.5%
Marginal Tax Rate = [tex]\frac{6,500-1,300}{100,000-20,000}[/tex] = 6.5%

d. will only increase if conversion costs increase as well.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option C: May increase or decrease between periods, depending on the fluctuation of the cost of the direct materials.
Explanation:
To begin with, in the field of business a manager or an account would perfectly know that when using the cost of production report with the purpose to analyze the change in direct materials costs per equivalent unit compared to conversion cost per unit the investigation will reveal that the direct material costs may increase or decrease between periods, depending on the fluctuation of the cost of those materials due to the fact that the fluctuation mentioned will arise if the company starts using more direct material in the production so that means that the volumen will increase as well as the costs of it
At the beginning of June, Bezco Toy Company budgeted 24,000 toy action figures to be manufactured in June at standard direct materials and direct labor costs as follows: Direct materials $36,000 Direct labor 8,640 Total $44,640 The standard materials price is $0.6 per pound. The standard direct labor rate is $9 per hour. At the end of June, the actual direct materials and direct labor costs were as follows: Actual direct materials $33,400 Actual direct labor 8,000 Total $41,400 There were no direct materials price or direct labor rate variances for June. In addition, assume no changes in the direct materials inventory balances in June. Bezco Toy Company actually produced 21,600 units during June. Determine the direct materials quantity and direct labor time variances. Round your per unit computations to two decimal places, if required. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number. Direct materials quantity variance $ -3,600 Unfavorable Direct labor time variance $ -864 Unfavorable Feedback
Answer:
Direct material quantity variance = $1,000
Direct labor time variance = $224
Explanation:
Calculation of the direct materials quantity
Direct material quantity variance = Actual quantity at standard price - Standard Quantity at standard price
Direct material quantity variance = $33,400 - (($36,000/24,000) * 21,600
Direct material quantity variance = $$33,400 - ($1.5 * $21,600)
Direct material quantity variance = $33,400 - $32,400
Direct material quantity variance = $1,000
Calculation of direct labor time variances
Direct labor time variance = Actual labor time at standard cost - Standard labor time at standard cost
Direct labor time variance = $8,000- (($8,640/24,000) * $21,600
Direct labor time variance = $8,000 - (0.36) * $21,600
Direct labor time variance = $8,000 - $7,776
Direct labor time variance = $224
Sharon transfers to Russ a life insurance policy with a cash surrender value of $30,000 and a face value of $100,000 in exchange for real estate. Russ continues to pay the premiums on the policy until Sharon dies 7 years later. At that time, Russ has paid $14,000 in premiums, and he collects the $100,000 face value. How much of the proceeds, if any, are taxable to Russ?
Answer: $56,000
Explanation:
When a life insurance policy is transferred the taxable amount at death is the value of proceeds that the policy gives less the Cash surrender value and the premiums that have already been paid by the formula;
Taxable Proceeds = Total Proceeds received - (Cash Surrender Value + Premiums paid)
Taxable Proceeds = 100,000 - (30,000 + 14,000)
Taxable Proceeds = $56,000
A 20-year maturity bond with par value $1,000 makes semiannual coupon payments at a coupon rate of 8%. Find the bond equivalent and effective annual yield to maturity of the bond if the bond price is $950. (Round your intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
The bond equivalent yield to maturity = 8.52%
The effective annual yield to maturity of the bond = 8.71%
Explanation:
Here, we start with calculating the yield to maturity YTM using the financial calculator
To find the YTM, we need to put the following values in the financial calculator:
N = 20*2 = 40;
PV = -950;
PMT = [8%/2]*1000 = 40;
FV = 1000;
Press CPT, then I/Y, which gives us 4.26
So, Periodic Rate = 4.26%
Bond equivalent yield = Periodic Rate * No. of compounding periods in a year
= 4.26% * 2 = 8.52%
effective annual yield rate = [1 + Periodic Rate]^(No. of compounding periods in a year) - 1
= [1 + 0.0426]^2 - 1 = 1.0871 - 1 = 0.0871, or 8.71%
If the Fed lowers the interest rate, then A. only consumption expenditure decreases. B. only investment decreases. C. consumption expenditure decreases and investment increases. D. net exports will increase. E. both consumption expenditure and investment decrease.
Answer: D. net exports will increase.
Explanation:
Lower interest rates decrease the value of a currency because less investors will invest in it. This reduced currency value will mean that exports will become cheaper as they are quoted in the domestic currency. As the exports are cheaper, more countries will buy them leading to an increase in Net exports.
Steve goes to Tri-State University and pays $40,000 in tuition. Steve works a part-time job to pay for his schooling and has an AGI of $17,000. How much is his American Opportunity Credit? Group of answer choices

Exercise D Viking Corporation is operating at 80% of capacity, which means it produces 8,000 units. Variable cost is $100 per unit. Wholesaler Y offers to buy 2,000 additional units at $120 per unit. Wholesaler Z proposes to buy 1,500 additional units at $140 per unit. Which offer, if either, should Viking Corporation accept
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The variable cost is $100 per unit.
Wholesaler Y offers to buy 2,000 additional units at $120 per unit.
Wholesaler Z proposes to buy 1,500 additional units at $140 per unit.
We need to choose the best alternative, in this case, the one with the higher increase in income:
Effect on income= total contribution margin
Wholesaler Y:
Effect on income= 2,000*(120 - 100)= $40,000 increase
Wholesaler Z:
Effect on income= 1,500*(140 - 100)= $60,000 increase
The best option is to sell the units to Wholesaler Z. If Wholesaler Y accepts, you can still sell 500 more units.
The market has an expected rate of return of 11.4 percent. The current nominal expected yield on U.S. Treasury bills is 4.3 percent. The inflation rate is 2.2 percent. What is the market risk premium? (round answer to whole number with two decimal points: i.e., use 1.23 percent instead of 0.0123)
Answer:
7.1%
Explanation:
According to the CAPM,
expected market return = risk free rate + market risk premium
11.4% = 4.3% + market risk premium
market risk premium = 11.4% - 4.3% = 7.1%
Find end inventory and cost of goods
Date Transactions Units Unit Cost Total Cost
June 1 Beginning inventory 16 $ 340 $ 5,440
June 7 Sale 11
June 12 Purchase 10 330 3,300
June 15 Sale 12
June 24 Purchase 10 320 3,200
June 27 Sale 8
June 29 Purchase 10 310 3,100
$ 15,040
Answer:
End inventory = $4,730
Cost of goods sold = $10,310
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided in the attached Microsoft word document before answering the question as follows:
a. Calculation of ending inventory
Number of units of Beginning inventory remaining unsold = 16 - 11 - 3 - 1 = 1 unit
Value of number of units Beginning inventory remaining unsold = 1 * $340 = $340
Number of units June 12 Purchase remaining unsold = 10 - 9 = 1 unit
Value of number of units June 12 Purchase remaining unsold = 1 * $330 = $330
Number of units of June 24 Purchase remaining unsold = 10 - 7 = 3 units
Value of number of June 24 Purchase remaining unsold = 3 * $320 = $960
Value of number of June 29 Purchase remaining unsold = 10 * $310 = $3,100
Therefore, End inventory is the addition of all the values of units remaining unsold as follows:
End inventory = $340 + $330 + $960 + $3,100 = $4,730
b. Calculation of cost of goods sold
June 7 cost of goods sold = 11 * $340 = $3,740
June 15 cost of goods sold = (3 * $340) + (9 * $330) = $3,990
June 27 cost of goods sold = (1 * $340) + (7 * $320) = $2,580
Cost of goods sold can therefore be calculated as follows:
Cost of goods sold = June 7 cost of goods sold + June 15 cost of goods sold + June 27 cost of goods sold = $3,740 + $3,990 + $2,580 = $10,310
Cheryl's marginal rate of substitution between apples and bananas is four apples for one banana. If apples are on the vertical axis and bananas are on the horizontal axis, the slope of Cheryl's indifference curve is
Answer:
The correct answer is: -4 (minus four).
Explanation:
To begin with, the concept of "Marginal Rate of Substitution" indicates how much of a good a consumer is willing to sacrifice to obtain a unit more of another good without changing the total satisfaction of the consumer. Therefore that this term is explained as the difference between one good and the other and that is why that the concept comprehends the slope of the indifference curve. That is why that if Cheryl's MRS of apples for banas is four then she is willing to sacrifice four apples for one banana and that indicates that the slope of the indiference curve is minus four (-4) because the result is always negative because it shows the sacrifice.
Which of the following types of contracts does not fall within the statute of frauds? Select one: A. Contracts not performed within six months B. Contracts for the sale of goods totaling more than $500 C. Contracts for one party to pay the debt of another party if the initial party fails to pay D. Promises made in consideration of marriage E. Agreements related to an interest in land
Answer:
Correct Answer:
C. Contracts for one party to pay the debt of another party if the initial party fails to pay
Explanation:
In a business setting which exist between two parties, when there is a renegation of agreement between the parties involved by one person, then there is consequences. In a situation where the renegation of agreement was deliberate, then, fraud is said to have occurred.
Option C does not fall within the statue of fraud.
The type of contract that does not fall within the statute of fraud is when the one part agrees to pay the debt of another party.
The following are the situations where the fraud could have existed:
Contract not performed for six months. The sale of goods is more than $500.The promise is made for marriage. Agreements are to be done for land.Therefore we can conclude that the type of contract that does not fall within the statute of fraud is when the one part agrees to pay the debt of another party.
