Answer:
1) c. the total setup cost should be allocated equally between the red and blue ink.
Setup costs depend on the number of production batches, since one production batch was made for each color of ink, then the costs should be allocated equally.
2. Which of the following is an activity-based cost driver?
A. Number of machine setups
Other examples include production orders, quality inspections, maintenance orders, etc.
3. What is the principal reason that direct labor hours is no longer an effective base for allocating indirect costs in many modern manufacturing companies?
B. Automation
The main reason why so many manufacturing jobs have been lost in recent years is not because of China or Mexico (or other countries with cheap labor), it is automation. Most modern companies are replacing workers with robots.
Explanation:
setup costs $2,000 per batch
one red and one blue
Demand for blue ink is significantly stronger than for red ink
1 hour of labor per gallon of ink
300 gallons of blue produced
100 gallons of red produced
You are considering investing $1,000 in a complete portfolio. The complete portfolio is composed of Treasury bills that pay 5% and a risky portfolio, P, constructed with two risky securities, X and Y. The optimal weights of X and Y in P are 60% and 40%, respectively. X has an expected rate of return of 14%, and Y has an expected rate of return of 10%. If you decide to hold 25% of your complete portfolio in the risky portfolio and 75% in the Treasury bills, then the dollar values of your positions in X and Y, respectively, would be __________ and _________.
Answer:
For X $150
For Y $100
Explanation:
The computation of optimal weight of X and Y in risky portfolio is shown below:-
Risk portfolio = Complete portfolio × Weight of risky portfolio
= $1,000 × 25%
= $250
So, Optimal weight of X and Y in risky portfolio will be
For X in dollars = Risk portfolio × Optimal weight percentage of X
= $250 × 60%
= $150
For Y in dollars = Risk portfolio × Optimal weight percentage of Y
= $250 × 40%
= $100
Therefore for computing the Optimal weight of X and Y in risky portfolio we simply multiply the risk portfolio with optimal percentage of X and in the similar way of Y.
Spiffy Sandals (Scenario) Spiffy Sandals is a Canadian footwear firm. Spiffy is planning to enter into a contract with an international producer to lower costs of production. On paper the figures look very good. However, Spiffy management has learned that the producer's factories are sweatshop conditions. Benito is the key Spiffy executive involved in the contract. He adheres to the relativist view regarding ethical standards and in meetings often says "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." Which of the following do you think Benito agrees with most strongly?
a. Freedom should not partner with foreign business entities.
b. Freedom should passively accept the practices that prevail in countries where it does business.
c. Freedom should not hire foreign managers.
d. Freedom should institute a single global code of conduct for all its employees and suppliers.
Answer:
Option B. Freedom should passively accept the practices that prevail in countries where it does business.
Explanation:
The Spiffy Executive knows that the a norm or ritual or common practice can be ethical in one country whereas not acceptable in the other one. So when he says that "when in Rome, do as the Romans do", so he literally means that we are going to accept the cultural diffences and get maximum out of it. This means he is not concerned about the sweatshop conditions as it is acceptable in that country.
5-BB. A large lithium-ion phosphate battery pack for an industrial application is expected to save $20,000 in annual energy expenses over its six-year life. For a three-year simple payback period, the permissible capital investment is $60,000. What is the internal rate of return on this $60,000 battery pack if it has a residual value of $10,000 at the end of six years
Answer:
26.14%
Explanation:
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 using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-60,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 5 = $20,000
Cash flow in year 6 = $20,000 + $10,000 = $30,000
IRR = 26.14%
To find the IRR using a financial calacutor:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.

Suppose two factors are identified for the U.S. economy: the growth rate of industrial production, IP, and the inflation rate, IR. IP is expected to be 4% and IR 5%. A stock with a beta of 1 on IP and 0.6 on IR currently is expected to provide a rate of return of 16%. If industrial production actually grows by 5%, while the inflation rate turns out to be 6%, what is your best guess for the rate of return on the stock? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
Answer:
17.6%
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
We can calculate the rate of return on the stock by using following formula:-
Expected Provide Rate of Return = Estimate Rate of Return on the Stock + (Expected IP × Stock with a Beta on IP) + (Expected IR × Stock with a Beta on IR)
Before estimate rate of return on the stock
= 16% = α + (4% × 1) + (5% × 0.6)
= 16% = α + (0.04 × 1) + (0.05 × 0.6)
= 0.16 = α + 0.04 + 0.03
= 0.16 - 0.04 - 0.03 = α
α = 0.09 =9%
Rate of return after the changes
= 9% + (5% × 1) + (6% × 0.6)
= 0.09 + 0.05 + 0.036
= 0.176
= 17.6%
According to the analysis, New rate of return on the stock is 17.6%

Question I - Debbie Debtor borrowed $1,000.00 from First Big Bank. Debbie Debtor agreed to repay the $1,000.00 over eight months plus interest. Debbie Debtor loses her job and stops making payments to First Big Bank after two months. What is the source of law that governs the subsequent remedies that may be available to First Big Bank? Question II - Eddie Embezzler has worked for Betty Boss for many years as an accountant. During his employment, Eddie has taken thousands of dollars from Betty’s business. As a result, Betty has suffered. Did Eddie violate a criminal law, a civil law, or both? Explain.
Answer:
(1). Check Explanation.
(2). Under both laws.
Explanation:
(1). Many times, things do not go as one wishes as this is the case of Debbie Debtor in the question above. Debbie Debtor is unable to repay her debt and no matter what the First Big Bank must collect their money back. The ways in which First Big Bank will collect their money back is governed by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).
The money can be collected ( if the loan is secured) from the the guarantors or if the bank has taken a mortgage on the loan, the property can be collected by the bank.
(II). Eddie violated both the criminal law and the civil law because embezzlement( a statutory offence) is different from theft(so, we can't really say that it is a criminal case or it violates the criminal law).
Embezzlement is about converting another's person properties into your own. The judgement depends on the kind of property or the situation in which the fund or the properties are embezzled.
You are reviewing the accounting records of Cathy's Antiques, Inc. owned by Cathy Miller. You have uncovered the following situations. Compose a memo to Ms. Miller that cites the appropriate accounting principle and the suggested action for each separate situation.
1.In August, a check for $500 was written to Wee Day Care Center. This amount represents child care for her son Brandon.
2.Cathy plans a Going out of Business Sale for May, since she will be closing her business for a month-long vacation in June. She plans to reopen July 1 and will continue operating Cathy's Antiques indefinitely.
3.Cathy received a shipment of pine furniture from Quebec, Canada. The invoice was stated in Canadian dollars.
4. Joseph Clark paid $1,500 for a dining table. The amount was recorded as revenue. The table will be delivered to Mr. Clark in six weeks.
Answer and Explanation:
The accounting principles and the suggestions are shown below:
a. Business Entity Concept:
In this given situation, the amount of $500 should be refunded to the business or it can be recognized as the withdrawal amount by Cathy Miller. The suggestion is that She should use a personal check for paying daycare in the future for her son
b. Going Concern Concept:
Since the business is closed for month-long vacation in the month of June. As Cathy's Antiques is not closing the business for permanent. As she plans for reopening on July 1. The suggestion is that she should hold an inventory decline sale or for other relevant sales.
c. Monetary Unit Concept:
The invoice should be restated in the united states for the purpose of accounting
d. Revenue Recognition Concept:
The revenue should be recognized when it is realized or earned. As the table is not delivered so the revenue should not be recognized.
The amount of $1,500 should be recorded for an account like deposits received from the customers until the delivering of the table is not done
For a certain good we have LaTeX: q=f\left(p\right)=200e^{-0.4p}q = f ( p ) = 200 e − 0.4 p. a) Find the elasticity of demand at price p = $50. b) At p = $50, is the demand elastic, inelastic, or does it have unit elasticity? Explain what this means for this product. c) Find the elasticity of demand at price p = $20. d) At p = $20, is the demand elastic, inelastic, o
Answer:
a) 20
b) elastic
c) 8
d) elastic
Explanation:
Given that q = f ( p ) = [tex]200e^{-0.4p}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{dq}{dp} = -80e^{-0.4p}[/tex]
a) The elasticity of demand is given as:
Elasticity of demand = [tex]\frac{dq}{dp}*\frac{p}{q}[/tex]
At p =$50, [tex]\frac{dq}{dp} = -80e^{-0.4p}=-80e^{-0.4*50}=-1.65*10^{-7}[/tex]
q = f ( p ) = [tex]200e^{-0.4p}[/tex] = [tex]200e^{-0.4*50}=-4.12*10^{-7}[/tex]
Elasticity of demand = [tex]\frac{dq}{dp}*\frac{p}{q}[/tex] = [tex]-1.65*10^{-7}*\frac{50}{-4.12*10^{-7}}=20[/tex]
b) At p = $50, it is elastic Since Elasticity of demand is greater than 1 it is elastic. That is the price have a big effect on the quantity
c) The elasticity of demand is given as:
Elasticity of demand = [tex]\frac{dq}{dp}*\frac{p}{q}[/tex]
At p =$20, [tex]\frac{dq}{dp} = -80e^{-0.4p}=-80e^{-0.4*20}=-0.027}[/tex]
q = f ( p ) = [tex]200e^{-0.4p}[/tex] = [tex]200e^{-0.4*20}=-0.067[/tex]
Elasticity of demand = [tex]\frac{dq}{dp}*\frac{p}{q}[/tex] = [tex]-0.027*\frac{20}{-0.067}=8.0[/tex]
d) At p = $20, it is elastic Since Elasticity of demand is greater than 1 it is elastic
During the past year, the high and low use of three different resources for Fly High Airlines occurred in July and April. The resources are airplane depreciation, fuel, and airplane maintenance.

2. Using the three annual cost formulas that you developed, predict the cost of each resource in a year with 480,000 airplane flight hours.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Airplane depreciation:
High 44,000 $ 18,000,000
Low 28,000 $18,000,000
Fuel:
High 44,000 $445,896,000
Low 28,000 $283,752,000
Airplane maintenance:
High 44,000 $15,792,000
Low 28,000 $11,504,000
Required:
1.
A) Depreciation expense remains constant on both flight hours. Therefore, the depreciation expense is calculated using the straight-line method. In this method, depreciation is constant.
Depreciation expense= $18,000,000
B) To calculate the fuel cost, we need to use the high low method:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (445,896,000 - 283,752,000) / (44,000 - 28,000)
Variable cost per unit= $10,134 per hour of flight.
Fuel is a variable cost.
C) We need to calculate the variable and fixed component of maintenance.
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (15,792,000 - 11,504,000) / (44,000 - 28,000)
Variable cost per unit= $268
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 15,792,000 - (268*44,000)
Fixed costs= $4,000,000
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 11,504,000 - (268*28,000)
Fixed costs= $4,000,000
2. Hours= 480,000
Depreciation= 18,000,000
Fuel= 10,134*480,000= $4,864,320,000
Maintenance= 268*480,000 + 4,000,000= $132,640,000
Total= $5,014,960,000

2. Beachcomer, a coin dealer, sues to rescind a purchase by Boskett, who paid $50 for a dime both parties thought was minted in San Francisco. In fact, it was a very valuable dime minted in Denver. Beachcomer asserts a mutual mistake of fact regarding the genuineness of the coin as San Francisco-minted. Boskett contends that the mistake was as to value only. Explain who should win.
Answer and Explanation:
Beachcomer will withdraw its complaint (university of technology Legal Proceedings) to eliminate the deal, as Boskett acknowledges the poor interest. In actuality, Beachcomer claims that there is a consensual error in trying to measure the dime significance. Sue to revoke was the method used mostly by Beachcomer could assert the quality of Dime.As well as, if Beachcomer brings the suit back but rather resolves the deal with each other, all of them seem to be in a win-win situation. When Beachcomer decides to withdraw and Boskett can pay for its true worth, therefore Boskett will win, because the deal has indeed actually occurred.So that the above seems to be the right answer.
Suppose that the total benefit to any one person (all people are identical) of a fireworks display is , where g is the dollar amount of fireworks(thus the marginal cost of $1 worth of fireworks is $1). Also suppose that each person in a town pays an equal share of the cost of the display. Does adding more people to the town make each person better off(in terms of net benefits derived from fireworks displays)? If so, by exactly how much?
Answer: The answer is provided below
Explanation:
As g is a constant, the addition of more people to the town will decrease per person cost of firework display. Therefore, adding more people to the town will make each person better off.
The net benefit is also equal to the total benefit each person gets (2√g) minus cost of per person of the firework display which is (g/h), where h is the number of people that are in the town.
Net benefits =2√g-(g/h)
Therefore, as h increases, "g/h" decreases and net benefits will increase.
If we then derivative net benefits with its respect to h ,we then get how much the net benefit will change.
∆net benefits/∆h=+g/h²
The Porter Beverage Factory owns a building for its operations. Porter uses only half of th ebuilding and is considering two options for the unused space. The Popcorn Store would like to purchase the half of the building that is not being used for $390,000. A 9% commission would have to be paid at the time of purchase. Salty Snacks would like to lease the half of the building for the next 5 years at $103,000 each year. Stewart would have to continue paying $38,600 of property taxes each year and $7,400 of yearly insurance on the property, according to the proposed lease agreement.

Considerable research has documented that in many product categories, consumers are unable to distinguish among brands when given blind tests (i.e. taste or use of the products without labels). Such products include cigarettes, beer, liquors, and cosmetics. Nonetheless, even when prices are similar, consumers have strong preferences for specific brands of these products. This strong brand preference is characteristic of:
Answer:
brand loyalty
Explanation:
Brand loyalty: The term "brand loyalty" is determined as the propensity of specific consumers to "continuously purchase" a particular brand's products over some other brand's products.

At December 31, 2021 and 2020, Sheridan Company had 171000 shares of common stock and 12000 shares of 7%, $100 par value cumulative preferred stock outstanding. No dividends were declared on either the preferred or common stock in 2021 or 2020. Net income for 2021 was $442000. For 2021, earnings per common share amounted to (rounded to the nearest penny)
Answer:
The earnings per common share amounted to $2.53
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
The Net Income for 2021= $442000
Thus,
The Dividend to be accrued on Preference shares for 2021 = 1200 *7% * 100
= $8400
The Earnings available to common share-holders for 2021 =$442000-$8400
= $433600
The number of common shares outstanding is = 171000 shares
So,
The Basic Earnings per share = 433600/171000
= $2.53

Prepare an amortization schedule for the four-year period.
Answer: Please see below
Explanation: Amortization for the four year period is given as
FOR 2018
Principal Balance = $100,000
cash payment for dec 31st= #30,182
Applied to interest== 8% of 100000= 0.08 x100,000=8000
Applied to Principal = cash payment -interest= 30192-8000= $22, 192
Principal balance at end of period=Principal Balance--applied to Principal
= 100,000 - 22,192=$ 77, 808
FOR 2019
Principal Balance = $77,808
cash payment for dec 31st= $30,182
Applied to interest== 8% of 77,808= 0.08 x77,808 =$6225
Applied to Principal = cash payment -interest= 30192-6225= $23,967
Principal balance at end of period=Principal Balance--applied to Principal
= 77,808 - 23,967=$ 53,841
FOR 2020
Principal Balance = $53,841
cash payment for dec 31st= $30,182
Applied to interest== 8% of 53,841= 0.08 x53,841 =$4307
Applied to Principal = cash payment -inbterst= 30192-4307= $25,885
Principal balance at end of period=Principal Balance--applied to Principal
= 53,841- 25,885= $27,956
FOR 2021
Principal Balance = $27,956
cash payment for dec 31st= $30,182
Applied to interest== 8% of 27,956= 0.08 x27,956 =$2236
Applied to Principal = cash payment -interest= 30192-2236= $27,956
Principal balance at end of period=Principal Balance--applied to Principal= 27,956- 27,956=0

Ben attended a workshop hosted by SCORE, a SBA organization that counsels small-business owners on developing a good vision statement. In that workshop the speakers discussed how an organization's vision needs to describe ________.
Answer:
what the company wants to become, and its long-term direction and strategic intent
Explanation:
Vision statement is a long term road map of the direction a business needs to take in order to achieve its set goals and objectives. It usually undergoes little revision.
However the short term operational processes are constantly reviewed to make the business better align with long term goals as stated in the vision statement.
In this scenario where the vision statement of small businesses are being formulated the speakers will discuss what the company wants to become, and its long-term direction and strategic intent

Suppose that on Valentine's Day, the demand for both roses and greeting cards increases by the same percentage amount. However, the price of roses increases by more than the price of greeting cards. Based on this information, you can conclude that the supply of Valentine's cards is sensitive to price than the supply of roses?
Answer:
Based on the information supply of cards is more elastic (price sensitive) than that of roses
Explanation:
Price elasticity of supply is defined as the sensitivity of quantity supplied to changes in price.
The formula is given below
Price elasticity of supply= Change in quantity supplied ÷ Change in price
In this scenario the demand for both roses and cards increases, however the price of roses increases more.
This implies that the denominator in the formula is higher in roses resulting in smaller price elasticity of supply.
The elasticity of supply for cards is higher than that of roses, so it is more sensitive to changes in price.
Cards can be stored from year to year so the labour for maintaining a stock of cards is low with resultant low price.
On the other hand roses require care to grow. It requires watering, application of chemicals to treat infestation and so on. So suppliers tend to push the extra cost of growing roses to the buyers
Answer:
Yes , Valentine cards are more price sensitive.
Explanation:
When Demand exceeds supply, prices rise. As a result of the increase in price, supply increases.
The increase in supply is in line with the law of supply which says, the higher the price, the higher the quantity supplied and the lower the price, the lower the quantity supplied.
If there's an increase in the demand for roses and cards, it is expected that prices would rise. However, if supply for these items increases, prices would fall and if supply doesn't increase, price would not decrease.
So if the price of roses increases by more than the price of greeting cards it indicates that the supply of rose didn't increase as much as the increase in supply of cards.
This means that the supply of roses is less price sensitive when compared to greeting cards.
A German worker takes 400 hours to produce a car and 2 hours to produce a case of wine. A French worker takes 600 hours to produce a car and X hours to produce a case of wine. For what values of X will gains from trade be possible
Answer and Explanation:
Given that
Number of hours taken to produced a car by German worker is 400 hours
In case of wine he takes 2 hours
And, the Number of hours taken to produced a car by French worker is 600 hours
In case of wine he takes X hours
Based on the above information, the values of X gains from trade is based on the opportunity cost so in this there is a competitive advantage occurs so in this case the values should be other than 3 as 600 hours ÷ hours = 300 hours
Hence, the values should be other than 3

You are a new summer intern working for a major professional services firm. during your lunch break each day, you and a fellow intern, bob, eat at a local sandwich shop. one day, bob’s girlfriend joins you for lunch. when the bill arrives, bob pays with a company credit card and writes the meal off as a business expense. bob and his girlfriend continue to be "treated" to lunch for a number of days. you know bob is well aware of a recent memo that came down from management stating casual lunches are not valid business expenses. when you ask bob about the charges, he replies, "hey, we’re interns. those memos don’t apply to us. we can expense anything we want. does bob really believe that what he is doing is not wrong? does it matter? what are you going to do about it?
Answer:
1. Bob is aware of what he is doing. He knows it is wrong.
2. It matters.
Explanation:
Bob is committing fraud against the firm. Because he received the memo from the business organization that casual lunches are not business expenses.. Bob acted on purpose as he and his girlfriend who is not an employee are enjoying benefit from the firm by making the meals to be business expenses, when he is aware that they are not. Thus, it can be said that Bob is committing fraud against the business.
2. Yes it matters and as an employee of the business, I'm going to speak to Bob and explain to him that he is going against company policy. And it could constitute as employee embezzlement.
Since the expenses that he is writing off as business expenses is completely invalid. The fraud would be reported to the management because failure to might put me at risk by making me an accomplise to the fraud.
