Answer:
Wagner Enterprises and Stone Services
Disposal of old asset:
It could be that Stone Services exchanged its old asset with a new one with a company. In that situation, the debit goes to New Equipment, while the credit is to the old Equipment. Another reason could be that Stone Services sold the old asset on account. In this situation, the debit goes to the Accounts Receivable account, while the old asset is credited accordingly.
Explanation:
When a company disposes of an old asset, it credits the asset account and transfers the amount to the Sale of Asset account. The same is done for the accumulated depreciation, in reverse. When cash is realized from the disposal, the Sale of Asset account is credited, while Cash account is debited. Then, the difference in the Sale of Asset account will be a gain or a loss, depending on the net book value and the cash realized from the sale.
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
Your Competitive Intelligence team is predicting that the Chester Company will invest in adding capacity to their Cute product this year. Assume Chester's product Cute invests in increasing its capacity by 10% this year. Because of this new information, your company anticipates all other products in the Core segment will increase their capacity by the same amount. How much can the industry produce in the Core segment the next year? Consider only products primarily in the Core segment last year. Ignore current inventories. Figures in thousands (000).
Answer:
HELLO SOME PARTS OF THE QUESTION IS MISSING ATTACHED BELOW IS THE MISSING PARTS
answer : 13156
Explanation:
Considering only products primarily in the core segment last year.
they are : Ant, cone, cute,Drat and Daze
From the question it is assumed that Chester's product Cute and other products in its Core segment will be increased by 10% this year hence we will calculate the 10% increase of each core product and add it to its initial value
For ANT (1550)
will become = 1550 + ( 10% * 1550 ) = 1705
For CONE ( 1050 )
will become = 1050 + ( 10% * 1050 ) = 1155
For Cute ( 1300 )
will become = 1300 + (10% * 1300 ) = 1430
For Drat ( 1040 )
will become = 1040 + ( 10% * 1040 ) = 1144
For DAZE ( 1040 )
will become = 1040 + ( 10% * 1040 ) = 1144
The total capacity of the current year = 1705 + 1155 + 1430 + 1144 + 1144 = 6578
Hence the Total capacity the Industry will produce in the core next year still applying the 10% increment will be = 2 * 6578 = 13156
Jasper makes a $25,000, 90-day, 7% cash loan to Clayborn Co. Jasper's entry to record the collection of the note and interest at maturity should be: (Use 360 days a year.)
Answer: B) Debit Cash $25,437.50, credit Interest Revenue $437.50; credit Notes Receivable $25,000.
Explanation:
The interest revenue for the period of 90 days will be;
= 25,000 * 7% * [tex]\frac{90}{360}[/tex]
= $437.50
Total to be received
= 25,000 + 437.50
= $25,437.50
The entry to record will therefore be;
DR Cash $25,437.50
CR Interest Revenue $437.50
CR Notes Receivable $25,000
A large open economy has desired national saving of Sd = 1200 + 1000rw, and desired national investment of Id = 1000 - 500rw. The foreign economy has desired national saving of = 1300 + 1000rw, and desired national investment of = 1800 - 500rw. The equilibrium world real interest rate equal to:________.
Answer: 10%
Explanation:
The Equilibrium real interest rate would be the interest rate that equates the Desired savings to the desired investment for both the National and foreign economy.
Desired national saving + Foreign desired national saving = Desired national investment + Foreign desired national investment
1,200 + 1,000rw + 1,300 + 1,000rw = (1,000 - 500rw) + (1,800 - 500rw)
2,500 + 2,000rw = 2,800 - 1,000rw
2,000rw + 1,000rw = 2,800 - 2,500
3,000rw = 300
rw = 0.1
rw = 10%

year 5 = 1/15 x $30,000 = $2,000
3. Double declining balance
year 1 = 2 x 1/5 x $33,000 = $13,200
year 2 = 2 x 1/5 x $19,800 = $7,920
year 3 = 2 x 1/5 x $11,880 = $4,752
year 4 = 2 x 1/5 x $7,128 = $2,851.20 ≈ $2,852
year 5 = $4,276 - $3,000 = $1,276
4, Units of production using miles driven
depreciation expense per mile = ($33,000 - $3,000) / 100,000 = $0.30
Year Miles
2016 22,000 x $0.30 = $6,600
2017 24,000 x $0.30 = $7,200
2018 15,000 x $0.30 = $4,500
2019 20,000 x $0.30 = $6,000
2020 (21,000 - 2,000) x $0.30 = $5,700

Correct answer. Your answer is correct. Determine the company’s break-even point in number of lawns serviced per month. Break-even point Entry field with correct answer 110 lawns LINK TO TEXT LINK TO TEXT Incorrect answer. Your answer is incorrect. Try again. Determine the company’s break-even point in dollars.
Answer:
Explanation:
To start with, we need to get the value for total fixed cost and total variable cost
Total fixed costs = Depreciation + Advertising + Insurance
= $1,500 + $350 + $2,770
= $4,620
Total variable costs per unit = Weed and feed materials + Direct labor + Lawn Fuel
= $17 + $9 + $2
= $28 per lawn
We also need to compute the contribution margin ratio
= Sales per unit - Variable cost per unit / Sales per unit
= (70 - 28) / 70
= 0.6
= 60%
Therefore;
1. Break even sales
Consider the market for meekers in the imaginary economy of Meekertown. In the absence of international trade, the domestic price of a meeker is $23. Suppose that the world price for a meeker is $24. Assume that Meekertown is too small to influence the world price for meekers once they enter meeker the international market. If Meekertown allows free trade, then it will _______________ meeker.
When a country is too small affect the world price, allowing for free trade will always increase total surplus in that country, regardless of whether it imports or exports as a result of international trade.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
Export
true
Explanation:
Because the price of meekers in meekertown is lower than the world price for meekers, meekers from meekertown are cheaper. so if free trade is allowed, other countries would want to purchase meekers from meekertown because it is cheaper.
So, meekertown would export meekers if free trade is allowed.
When a country is too small affect the world price, allowing for free trade will always increase total surplus in that country, regardless of whether it imports or exports as a result of international trade.
this is so because if the country is efficient in production of a good (producing at a lower price when compared to the world price), export of the good would increase thus increasing producer surplus. if on the other hand, the country is inefficient in producing a good and the country allows for free trade, the country can import the good. this would increase consumer surplus.
Consider a fast food café of your choice. Apply 4 V’s of Operation. Describe each V as ‘High’, ‘Low’ or ‘Moderate’ with one liner reason.
Answer:
4 V's of Operation
The 4 V's of operation are Volume, Variety, Variation, and Visibility. Let us take Mrs. Happy Food Cafe with over 100 outlets in Fiacton Town, as an example to illustrate the 4 V's of operation.
Volume: As a food cafe, the volume of production that will be required for some foods and drinks is so high that their provision requires repetitive tasks. Based on this, procedures are normally standardized in order to achieve low cost for foods and drinks. However, it is harder to standardize services, since personal touches are added by the servers based on their individual perceptions and abilities.
Variety: Mrs. Happy Food Cafe tries to bring some variety in her offerings to satisfy the various needs of her customers. While variety is naturally low in the Food Cafe sector, some cafes like Mrs. Happy Good Cafe, try to satisfy customers' demands by varying the foods with Continental, African, Latino cuisines and dishes.
Variation: At Mrs Happy Food cafes, the food and drinks do not vary much as customers expect to be served the same quality of services at any of their cafes. This is because the processes are standardized to achieve low cost. So, the variation is moderate.
Visibility: Customers of Mrs Happy Food cafes are not able to see and track their experiences of the the processes for the food preparation that they order. But, they can track the processes for the services because services are consumed as they are offered. So, visibility is 'Moderate," as it is divided between the hard goods and the soft goods. With respect to goods visibility is 'Low.' However, with respect to the services the customers' visibility of processes is high.
Explanation:
The 4 V's of operation describe the different characteristics of the processes that various entities use to transform their inputs into outputs of goods and services. They may be high, low, or moderate. They include, volume, variety, variation, and visibility.
While examining cash receipts information, the accounting department determined the following information: opening cash balance $180, cash on hand $1,350.89, and cash sales per register tape $1,186.34. Prepare the required journal entry based upon the cash count sheet.
Answer:
Cash $1,170.89
Cash Over/Short $15.45
To Sales Revenue $1,186.34
(Beingthe cash is recorded)
Explanation:
Before passing the journal entry first we have to determine the ending cash balance which is shown below:
Ending Cash Balance is
= Opening Cash Balance + Sales
= $180 + $1,186.34
= $1,366.34
Short cash is
= Ending cash balance - cash on hand
= $1,366.34 - $1,350.89
= $15.45
And, the actual cash is
= Cash on hand - opening cash balance
= $1,350.89 - $180
= $1,170.89
Now the journal entry is
Cash $1,170.89
Cash Over/Short $15.45
To Sales Revenue $1,186.34
(Being the cash is recorded)
WinterDreams operates a Rocky Mountain ski resort. The company is planning its lift ticket pricing for the coming ski season. Investors would like to earn a 16 % return on the company's $ 115 million of assets. The company incurs primarily fixed costs to groom the runs and operate the lifts. WinterDreams projects fixed costs to be $ 35 comma 600 comma 000 for the ski season. The resort serves 800 comma 000 skiers and snowboarders each season. Variable costs are $ 8 per guest. Currently, the resort has such a favorable reputation among skiers and snowboarders that it has some control over the lift ticket prices.
Required:
a. Would Mountain Point emphasize target pricing or cost-plus pricing? Why?
b. If other resorts in the area charge $66 per day, what price should Mount Snow charge?
Answer:
a. Would Mountain Point emphasize target pricing or cost-plus pricing? Why?
They emphasize cost plus pricing because the investors are seeking a desired rate of return on their investment and they do it by adding the desired profit margin to their costs.b. If other resorts in the area charge $66 per day, what price should Mount Snow charge?
$75.50 in order for them to generate the required ROI. Since the resort has a very good reputation, it can charge a higher price than its competitors.Explanation:
company's assets = $115,000,000
expected return on investment = 16%
fixed costs = $35,600,000
number of customers = 800,000
variable costs = $8 per customer x 800,000 = $6,400,000
total costs = $42,000,000
total cost per client = $42,000,000 / 800,000 = $52.50
desired profit = $115,000,000 x 16% = $18,400,000
desired profit per client = $18,400,000 / 800,000 = $23
price per ticket = $75.50
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.
A country in South America is experiencing high inflation, around 15% annually, and high unemployment, around 25%. According to the AD/AS model, which of the following is most likely to explain this outcome?
a. A positive real shock
b. A positive aggregate demand shock
c. A negative aggregate demand shock
d. A negative real shock
Answer:
The correct answer is the option D: A negative real shock
Explanation:
To begin with, in the case presented where the economy has suffered from high inflation and unemployment rates then the most likely situation that could have happened before to explain this outcome is that the country and its economy were harmed badly by a negative real shock. This tend to happen when the aggregate supply is low and this one tends to decline rapidly affecting the economy in its whole due to the fact that the sellers are now producing less of the products and services and therefore the consumption and the real GDP decreases dramastically.

Would this change your answer? -Select- Rather than build a new manufacturing facility, the company plans to install the equipment in a building it owns but is not now using. The building could be sold for $1.5 million after taxes and real estate commissions. How would this affect your answer? The project's cost will -Select- .
Answer:
What is the initial investment outlay?
initial investment = $17 million (manufacturing equipment) + $3 (increase in net working capital) = $20,000,000The company spent and expensed $150,000 on research related to the new project last year. Would this change your answer?
No, this will not change the answer because that was a sunk cost that doesn't affect the project's initial outlay.Rather than build a new manufacturing facility, the company plans to install the equipment in a building it owns but is not now using. The building could be sold for $1.5 million after taxes and real estate commissions. How would this affect your answer?
If the company decides to do this, it will increase the project's initial outlay by $1,500,000 which is the opportunity cost of selling the building.Travers Company is contemplating the acceptance of a special order has the following unit cost behavior, based on 10,000 units (the total capacity of their factory). Travers Company is presently manufacturing 7000 units in their factory.

Poppins Company wants to purchase 2,000 units at a special unit price of $36. The normal price per unit is $40. In addition, a special stamping machine will have to be purchased for $6250 in order to stamp the company’s logo on the product.
Required:
What is the amount of the incremental income (loss) from accepting the order?
Answer:
The amount of the incremental income from accepting the order is $21,750 .
Explanation:
Incremental analysis of Accepting Special Order
Hint : Consider Incremental Amounts Only
Sales (2,000 units × $36) $72,000
Less Expenses
Direct Materials ($5 × 2,000) ($10,000)
Direct Labor ($10 × 2,000) ($20,000)
Variable Overhead ($7 × 2,000) ($14,000)
Special stamping machine ($6250)
Incremental income/ (loss) $21,750
Note : There is excess capacity of 3,000 units (10,000 units - 7,000 units) to meet the Special Order. Hence
Fixed Overheads will be the same whether or not the special order is accepted, hence they are not included in the analysis.
Conclusion :
The amount of the incremental income from accepting the order is $21,750 .
BBQ Corporation has a target capital structure that is 70 percent equity, 30 percent debt. The flotation costs for equity issues are 15 percent of the amount raised; the flotation costs for debt are 8 percent. If BBQ needs $150 million for a new manufacturing facility, what is the cost when flotation costs are considered
Answer:
$172,215,844 is the cost when flotation costs are considered
Explanation:
flotation
Weighted average flotation cost = {(Flotation cost debt * Weight debt) + (Flotation cost equity * Weight equity)
= (8% * 0.30) + (15% * 0.70)
=0.024 + 0.105
= 0.129
= 12.9%
Calculation of the cost of funds
Cost of funds = Amount raised / (1 - Weighted average floatation cost)
= $150,000,000 / (1-0.129)
= $150,000,000 / (0.871)
=$172,215,844
Therefore, the cost of raising fund is $172,215,844
Sager Industries is considering an investment in equipment that will replace direct labor. The equipment has a cost of $86,000 with a $7,000 residual value and a 10-year life. The equipment will replace three employees who has an average total wages of $15,810 per year. In addition, the equipment will have operating and energy costs of $4,190 per year. Determine the average rate of return on the equipment, giving effect to straight-line depreciation on the investment.
Answer:
130.77%
Explanation:
depreciation expense per year using straight method = (purchase cost - salvage value) / useful life = ($86,000 - $7,000) / 10 = $7,900
total costs = depreciation expense + operating and energy costs = $7,900 + $4,190 = $12,090
average rate of return = total savings / total costs = $15,810 / $12,090 = 1.30769 = 130.77%
ABG Corporation has the following dividend forecasts for the next three years: Year Expected Dividend 1 $ .25 2 $ .50 3 $ 1.25 After the third year, the dividend will grow at a constant rate of 5% per year. The required return is 10%. What is the price of the stock today?
Answer:
Price of share today = $21.302
Explanation:
The price of a share can be calculated using the dividend valuation model
According to this model the value of share is equal to the sum of the present values of its future cash dividends discounted at the required rate of return.
If dividend is expected to grow at a given rate , the value of a share is calculated using the formula below:
Price=Do (1+g)/(k-g)
Do - dividend in the following year, K- requited rate of return , g- growth rate
Step 1 : PV of dividend from year 1 to 3
Year PV of Dividend
1 0.25 × 1.1^(-1) = 0.227
2 0.50 × 1.1^(-2) = 0.413
3 1.25 × 1.1^(-3) = 0.939
Strep 2 : PV of dividend from year 4 to infinity
PV (in year 3 terms) of dividend= 1.25 × 1.05/(0.1-0.05) = 26.25
PV in year 0 terms = 26.25 × 1.1^(-3) = 19.72

A metal fabricator produces connecting rods with an outer diameter that has a 1 ± .01 inch specification. A machine operator takes several sample measurements over time and determines the sample mean outer diameter to be 1.002 inches with a standard deviation of .003 inch.
a. Calculate the Cp of the process. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
Cp =
b. Calculate the Cpk of the process. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
Cpk =
Answer:
A) 1.111
B) 0.889
Explanation:
given data :
outer diameter of connecting rods = 1 ± 0.01 inch
sample mean outer diameter = 1.002 inches
standard deviation = 0.003 inches
A) Calculating the Cp of the process
mean = 1.002
Standard deviation = 0.003
LSL = 1 - 0.01 = 0.99
USL = 1 + 0.01 = 1.01
[tex]Cp = \frac{USL - LSL}{6 * STANDARD DEVIATION}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1.01-0.99}{6*0.003}[/tex] = 1.111
B) calculate Cpk
mean = 1.002, LSL = 0.99, USL = 1.01 , deviation = 0.003
[tex]Cpk = min[\frac{mean-LSL}{3* deviation} , \frac{USL- mean}{3*deviation} ][/tex]
= min [(0.012/0.009) , (0.008/0.009) ]
= min [ 1.333, 0.889 ]
hence Cpk = 0.889
The crowding-out effect refers to the possibility that:
a. a deficit, financed by borrowing in the capital markets, will increase the interest rate and reduce investment in the private sector.
b. an increase in the supply of money will induce a decline in real spending.
c. when used simultaneously, expansionary fiscal and monetary policies are counter-productive.
d. the speculative demand for money varies inversely with the interest rate.
Answer:
a. a deficit, financed by borrowing in the capital markets, will increase the interest rate and reduce investment in the private sector.
Explanation:
Crowding out effect is when government borrowing from the capital markets leads to an increase in interest rate. this makes it more expensive for private sector to borrow and this reduces investment by private sector
g The Fed makes an open market operation purchase of $200,000. The currency drain ratio is 33.33 percent and the desired reserve ratio is 10 percent. By how much does the quantity of money increase?
Answer: $618,000
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that the Fed makes an open market operation purchase of $200,000 and that the currency drain ratio is 33.33 percent and the desired reserve ratio is 10 percent.
We first have to calculate the money multiplier which will be:
= (1 + the currency drain ratio)/( the currency drain ratio + the reserve ratio)
= (1 + 33.33%)/(33.33% + 10%)
= ( 1 + 0.33)/(0.33 + 0.1)
= 1.33/0.43
= 3.09
The quantity of money increase will be:
= 3.09 × $200,000
= $618,000
Indicate whether the following changes would cause a shift in the demand curve for Product A and, if so, the direction of the shift.
Change Demand curve shift? Direction of shift?
Increase in price of complementary product Yes or No Increase, decrease or N/A
Increase in the price of the Product A Yes or No Increase, decrease or N/A
Launch of effective advertising campaign for Product Yes or No Increase, decrease or N/A
Answer:
yes decrease
No N/A
Yes, Increase
Explanation:
A complementary good is a good that is consumed together. If the price of the complementary good increases, the quantity demanded of the good would decrease. this would lead to a decrease in demand for product A.
an increase in the price of product A, would increase the quantity demanded. an increase in quantity demanded leads to a movement along the demand curve and not a shift of the demand curve
An effective advertising campaign would increase the visibility of the product and increase the demand for the product. an increase in demand leads to an outward shift of the demand curve.
What is the forecasted value of property, plan and equipment (PP&E) based on the following information: Capital asset turnover ratio: 2.5 Forecasted revenues: $120 Forecasted costs of goods sold: $80
Answer:
Forecasted value of property, plan and equipment (PP&E) is $48.
Explanation:
First note that Capital asset is the same thing as property, plan and equipment (PP&E).
In order to calculate this, we therefore use the formula for calculating the Capital asset turnover ratio which is the ratio of forecasted revenues to forecasted value of property, plan and equipment (PP&E) as follows:
Capital asset turnover = Forecasted revenues / Forecasted value of PP&E
Substituting for the values in the question into the equation above and solve for Forecasted value of PP&E, we have:
2.5 = 120 / Forecasted value of PP&E
Forecasted value of PP&E = 120 / 2.5 = $48
Therefore, the forecasted value of property, plan and equipment (PP&E) is $48.
The forecasted value of property, plan and equipment for the period for the statement quoted above is $48. The calculations can be implied by using the values given in the formula.
The value of the property, plan and equipment is important for estimating the current, short run and long run capital requirements of the firm for a given period using the ratios.
The values given to us are as the capital assets turnover ratio is 2.5 and the forecasted costs of goods sold is $80 whereas the forecasted revenues of the firm is $120.The calculation of estimated property, plan and equipment of a firm can be calculated by using the formula as given below by putting the available values.[tex]\rm Forecasted\ PP\&E= \dfrac {Forecasted\ Revenues}{Capital\ Assets\ Turnover\ Ratio}\\\\\\\\\rm Forecasted\ PP\&E= \dfrac {\$120}{2.5}[/tex]We get the forecasted PP&E of the firm as below, [tex]\rm Forecasted\ PP\&E= \$48[/tex]Therefore the value obtained for the forecasted PP&E of the firm is $48.Hence, the correct statement of the forecasted PP&E of the firm is $48 when the forecasted revenues are $120 and the assets turnover ratio stands at 2.5.

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
A monopoly's cost function is CQ and its the demand for its product is pQ where Q is output, p is price, and C is the total cost of production. Determine the profit-maximizingLOADING... price and output for a monopoly.
Answer:
The answer is "70 units".
Explanation:
In the given question some equation is missing which can be defined as follows:
[tex]C = 1.5Q^2+40Q\\\\P=320-0.5Q[/tex]
Monopolistic functions are used where Marginal Profit = Marginal Cost where marginal revenue and marginal cost stand for the MR and MC.
Finding the value of MR :
[tex]\ MR = \frac{\partial TR}{\partial Q} \\\\[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{\partial PQ}{\partial Q} \\\\= \frac{\partial (320-0.5Q)Q}{\partial Q}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{\partial (320Q -0.5Q^2)}{\partial Q}\\\\ = \frac{\partial Q (320 -0.5Q)}{\partial Q}\\\\ \ by \ solving \ we \ get \\\\ = 320 - Q...(1)[/tex]
Calculating the value of the MC:
[tex]MC = \frac{\partial TC}{\partial Q} \\[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{\partial (1.5Q^2 + 40Q)}{\partial Q} \\\\=\frac{\partial Q (1.5Q + 40)}{\partial Q}\\\\ \ by \ solve \ value \\\\ = 3Q + 40....(2)[/tex]
compare the above equation (i) and (ii):
[tex]\to 320 -Q = 3Q+40\\\\\to 320 -40 = 3Q+ Q\\\\\to 280 = 4Q\\\\\to 4Q =280 \\\\\to Q= \frac{280}{4}\\\\\to Q= 70 \\[/tex]
