Answer:
Recall, that we represent economic laws and theory using models; in this case we can use a demand schedule or a demand curve to illustrate the Law of Demand. The demand schedule shows the combinations of price and quantity demanded of apples in a table format. The graphical representation of the demand schedule is called the demand curve
When graphing the demand curve, price goes on the vertical axis and quantity demanded goes on the horizontal axis. A helpful hint when labeling the axes is to remember that since P is a tall letter, it goes on the vertical axis. Another hint when graphing the demand curve is to remember that demand descends.
The demand curve reflects our marginal benefit and thus our willingness to pay for additional amounts of a good. It makes sense that our marginal benefit, or willingness to pay for a good, would decline as we consume additional units because we get less additional satisfaction from each successive unit consumed. For example, at lunch time you decide to buy pizza by-the-piece. You'd be willing to pay a lot for that first piece to satisfy your hunger. But what about the second piece? Perhaps a little less. If we keep considering each additional piece, we might ask what the 3rd, 4th or 5th piece is worth to you. By that point, you'd be willing to pay less, perhaps much less. The law of demand and our models illustrate this behavior.
Explanation:
Flesch Corporation produces and sells two products. In the most recent month, Product C90B had sales of $24,000 and variable expenses of $6,480. Product Y45E had sales of $29,000 and variable expenses of $11,010. The fixed expenses of the entire company were $32,280. If the sales mix were to shift toward Product C90B with total dollar sales remaining constant, the overall break-even point for the entire company: Multiple Choice could increase or decrease. would increase. would not change. would decrease.
Answer:
would decrease.
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
As we know that
Contribution = Sales - Variable Expenses
And,
PV Ratio = Contribution margin ÷ Sales
So, PV Ratio of C90B is
= ($24,000 - $6,480) ÷ $24,000
= 73%
And PV Ratio of Y45E is
= ($29,000 - $11,010) ÷ ($29,000)
= 62.03%
It increases in overall PV ratio also overall contribution would be more that reduced the break even point
Tuition of $3400 is due when the spring term begins, in 4 months. What amount should a student deposit today, at 12%, to have enough to pay tuition
Answer: The student should deposit= $3,272.40
Explanation:
The formula we need to use is
FV = P ( 1 + rt )
where:
F V = the future value.
P = the principal amount.
r= the rate of interest. = `12%= 0.12
t= time in years. = 4/12= 1/3 =O.3333
FV = P ( 1 + rt )
$3,400 = P (1 + 0.12 X 0.3333)
$3,400 = P (1 + 0.039)
$3,400 = P (1.039)
P= 3400 /1.039= $3,272.40

On May 1, 2018, Kelalani purchased land for $88,000 for use in her business. She sold it on May 1, 2019, for $82,000. If there are no other sales of business or trade property, how is this loss treated for tax purposes on Kelalani's return?
1. $6,000 Section 1231 loss.
2. $6,000 ordinary loss.
3. $6,000 short-term capital loss.
4. $6,000 long-term capital loss.
Answer: $6000 short term Capital loss
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that on May 1, 2018, Kelalani purchased land for $88,000 for use in her business and that she sold it on May 1, 2019, for $82,000.
We are further told that there are no other sales of business or trade property. Based on this scenario, the loss treated for tax purposes on Kelalani's return will be a short term capital loss of $6000($88,000 - $82,000). It is a short term capital loss because the loss is for a period of a year or less.
The following assets in Jack’s business were sold in 2020: Asset Holding Period Gain/(Loss) Office equipment 6 years $1,100 Automobile 8 months ($ 800) ABC stock (capital asset) 2 years $1,400 Office equipment, purchased for $8,000, had a zero adjusted basis. The automobile was purchased for $2,000 and sold for $1,200. The ABC stock was purchased for $1,800 and sold for $3,200. In 2020 (the year of sale), Jack should report what amount of net capital gain and net ordinary income?
Answer:
Net capital gain = $1,400
Net ordinary income = $300
Explanation:
Long term Capital gain = $1,400 from sale of stock since it was hold for 2 years (more than 1 year)
Ordinary gain = $1,100 - $800 = $300 since automobile was 6 months old and equipment had zero basis
A business buys $5000 worth of resources to produce a good. The business makes 100 units of the good and each of them sells for $65. The value added by the business to these products is:
a. $5,000
b. $6,500
c. $1,500
d. $1,000
Answer:
$1,500
Explanation:
A business buys $5000 worth of resources resources to produce a good
The business makes 100 unit of of the good and sell each for $65
Therefore the value added by the business to the product can be calculated as follows
= $65×100
= $6500
$6,500-$5,000
= $1,500
Hence the value added by the business to the product is $1,500
Joe Jones, Inc. has a beta of .85. The risk-free rate is 5% and the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 10%. a. Compute the required return for Joe Jones using the security market line (SML) equation.
Answer: 9.25%
Explanation:
Risk free rate, Rf = 5% = 0.05
We then subtract the risk free rate of 5% from the expected date of return on market portfolio of 10%. This will be:
= 10% - 5% = 5%
Beta = 0.85
Required return will now be:
= Rf + (Rm-Rf) x Beta
= 5% + (5% × 0.85)
= 5% + 4.25%
= 9.25%
By the end of 2022, Humanity International has the benefit of hindsight to know that estimates of uncollectible accounts in 2021 were too high. How did this overestimation affect the reported amounts of total assets and expenses at the end of 2021
Answer:
Humanity International
The overestimation of the uncollectible accounts in 2021 reduced the reported amount of total assets and increased the total amount of expenses at the end of 2021.
Explanation:
When the uncollectible accounts in 2021 were overestimated, the uncollectible expense for the year was also overestimated. This increased the total amount of expenses for that year. In turn, the total amount of assets was decreased since the uncollectible allowance is usually deducted from an element of the assets (Accounts Receivable).
The Heinlein and Krampf Investment firm has just been instructed by one of its clients to invest $250,000 for her money. The client has a good deal of trust in the investment firm, but she has also her own ideas about the distribution of funds being invested. In particular, she requests the following: - municipal bonds should constitute at least 20% of the investment - at least 40% of the investment should be placed in a combination of electronic firms, aerospace firms, and drug manufacturers. - no more than 50% of the amount invested in municipal bonds should be placed in nursing home stock. Subject to these constraints, the client's goal is to maximize her return on investments. The investment firm has the following estimated rate of returns on investment choices: 5.3% Electronics Investment Estimated rate of return (%) Los Angeles Municipal Bonds Thompson Electronics 6.8% United Aerospace 4.9% Palmer Drugs 8.4% Happy Days Nursing Homes 11.8% What is the optimal rate of return for the client's portfolio

A company just starting business made the following four inventory purchases in June: Date Number of Units Purchased Total Cost June 1 100 units $ 360 June 10 150 units 585 June 15 150 units 610 June 28 100 units 520 $2075 A physical count of merchandise inventory on June 30 reveals that there are 240 units on hand. Using the FIFO inventory method, the amount allocated to cost of goods sold for June is
Answer:
COGS= $985.67
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Date Number of Units Purchased
June 1 100 units $360 ($3.6)
June 10 150 units 585 ($3.9)
June 15 150 units 610 ($4.067)
June 28 100 units 520 ($5.2)
A physical count of merchandise inventory on June 30 reveals that there are 240 units on hand.
First, we need to calculate the number of units sold:
Units sold= total units - units in ending inventory
Units sold= 500 - 240= 260
To calculate the cost of goods sold under the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method, we need to use the cost of the firsts units incorporated into inventory.
COGS= 100*3.6 + 150*3.9 + 10*4.067
COGS= $985.67

Problem 5-35 Comparing Cash Flow Streams [LO 1] You’ve just joined the investment banking firm of Dewey, Cheatum, and Howe. They’ve offered you two different salary arrangements. You can have $8,200 per month for the next two years, or you can have $6,900 per month for the next two years, along with a $37,000 signing bonus today. Assume the interest rate is 6 percent compounded monthly. Requirement 1: If you take the first option, $8,200 per month for two years, what is the present value? (Enter rounded answer as directed, but do not use rounded numbers in intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).) Present value $ 139912.93 Requirement 2: What is the present value of the second option?
Answer:
PV of 1st option = $185,015.50
PV of 2nd option = $192,683.78
Explanation:
Computing the present value of the monthly payments, we use the formula [tex]PV = \frac{A(1-(1+r)^{-n}) }{r}[/tex]
Where PV = present value of the monthly payments
A = monthly salary
r = monthly interest rate = 6%/12 = 0.5% = 0.005
n = number of months = 24 months
PV of the 1st option, $8,200 monthly for the next 2 year
[tex]PV = \frac{8,200(1-(1.005)^{-24}) }{0.005}[/tex] = $185,015.50.
PV of the 2ns option, $6,900 monthly + $37,000 signing bonus
[tex]PV = \frac{6,900(1-(1.005)^{-24}) }{0.005}+37,000[/tex] = $155,683.78 + $37,000 = $192,683.78.

Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Tons of cement produced and sold 240,000
Sales revenue $1,008,000
Variable manufacturing expense $439,000
Variable selling and administrative expense $41,000
First, we need to calculate the total contribution margin:
Total contribution margin= 1,008,000 - 439,000 - 41,000
Total contribution margin= $528,000
Now, the unitary contribution margin:
unitary contribution margin= 528,000/240,000
unitary contribution margin= $2.2

Acceptance. Altisource Portfolio Solutions, Inc., is a global corporation that provides real property owners with services, such as property preservation—repairs, debris removal, and so on. Lucas Contracting, Inc., is a small trade contractor in Carrollton, Ohio. On behalf of Altisource, Berghorst Enterprises, LLC, hired Lucas to perform preservation work on certain foreclosed properties in eastern Ohio. When Berghorst did not pay for the work, Lucas filed a suit in an Ohio state court against Altisource. Before the trial, Lucas e-mailed the terms of a settlement. The same day, Altisource e-mailed a response that did not challenge or contradict Lucas’s proposal and indicated agreement to it. Two days later, however, Altisource forwarded a settlement document that contained additional terms. Which proposal most likely satisfies the element of agreement to establish a contract? Explain.
Answer:
Throughout the clarification segment elsewhere here, the definition including its issue is mentioned.
Explanation:
The very first e-mailed submission from Altisource that doesn't even dispute Lucas' suggestion would have been the proposal which most definitely meets the part of the arrangement to create a contract. It is when Altisource's e-mail was approved that they committed to it. Today, if a new arrangement with added provisions is presented two days after ratification, it can not be accepted as an aspect of the binding agreement.If they could have some trouble with the arrangement, they could've just discussed the based distribution and therefore not approved the agreement. It would never be altered until they have approved it but the same could be known as either a contract arrangement.Present value concept

The funded status of Hilton Paneling Inc.'s defined benefit pension plan and the balances in prior service cost and the net gain–pensions, are given below. ($ in 000s) 2021 2021 Beginning Balances Ending Balances Projected benefit obligation $ 2,300 $ 2,501 Plan assets 2,400 2,591 Funded status 100 90 Prior service cost–AOCI 325 300 Net gain–AOCI 330 300 Retirees were paid $270,000, and the employer contribution to the pension fund was $245,000 at the end of 2021. The expected rate of return on plan assets was 10%, and the actuary’s discount rate is 7%. There were no changes in actuarial estimates and assumptions regarding the PBO. Required: 1. Determine the actual return on plan assets of 2021. 2. Determine the loss or gain on plan assets of 2021. 3. Determine the service cost of 2021. 4. Determine the pension expense of 2021. 5. Average remaining service life of active employees (used to determine amortization of the net gain).
Answer:
1. Actual return on Plat assets
= Ending plan assets - beginning assets - employer contribution + retirees payment
= 2,591 - 2,400 - 245 + 270
= $216,000
2. Gain(loss) on plan assets
= Actual return - expected return
= 216,000 - (10% * 2,400,000-beginning assets)
= ($24,000) loss
3. Service cost
= Ending Projected benefit obligation - Beginning Projected benefit obligation - Interest cost + Retiree benefits
= 2,501 - 2,300 - (7% * 2,300) + 264
= $304,000
4. Pension expense
= Interest cost + expected return + Amortization of prior service cost + amortization of net gain + Service cost
= Interest cost + expected return + (beginning prior service cost - ending prior cost) + (Beginning net gain - ending net gain - loss on plan asset) + Service cost
= (7% * 2,300) + 240 + (325 - 300) + (330 - 300 - 24) + 304
= $736,000
5. Average remaining service life of active employees
= (Beginning Net gain - expected return) / Amortization of net gain
= (330 - 300) / (330 - 300 - 24)
= 5 years

Frente a la competencia en el mercado, cuales son los objetivos que persiguen las empresas multinacionales con la creación del sistema de maquilas en la producción de bienes?
Las multinacionales persiguen abaratar costos con las maquilas. En un entorno competitivo, tener unos costos de producción más bajos es una de las mejores estrategias corporativas ya que esto genera precios más bajos.
Por qué la maquila se convierte en un factor que favorece la capacidad de competencia de las empresas multinacionales en el mercado.
Porque les permite producir bienes a precios más bajos.
Qué ventajas brinda el fenómeno maquilador a los consumidores finales de los bienes.
Los consumidores se benefician de poder comprar productos más baratos, lo que significa que su ingreso rinde más.
Cuales empresas salen perjudicadas en el mercado municipal, por la competencia de la maquila controlada por las multinacionales y las familias ricas de la economía nacional y Por Qué.
Las empresas que salen perjudicadas son aquellas que no pueden competir con los bajos costos y las economías de escala de las compañías multinacionales que tienen maquilas, y que por ésta razón, terminan ofreciendo productos más costosos, lo que repercute de forma negativa en su nivel de ventas.
You will invest $25,000 in an ice cream shop your sister is starting. You expect to triple your investment in six years. What is the rate of return that you have in mind? (Rounded to the nearest percent.)
Answer:
r = 20.09%
Explanation:
we can use the future value formula to calculate the expected rate of return:
future value = present value x (1 + r)ⁿ
future value = $25,000 x 3 = $75,000present value = $25,000n = 6$75,000 = $25,000 x (1 + r)⁶
(1 + r)⁶ = $75,000 / $25,000 = 3
⁶√(1 + r)⁶ = ⁶√3
1 + r = 1.2009
r = 0.2009 = 20.09%
our firm is contemplating the purchase of a new $615,000 computer-based order entry system. The system will be
Answer:
Almost the entire question is missing, so I looked it up:
Your firm is contemplating the purchase of a new $615,000 computer-based order entry system. The system will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its five-year life. It will be worth $67,000 at the end of that time. You will save $245,000 before taxes per year in order processing costs, and you will be able to reduce working capital by $82,000 (this is a one-time reduction). If the tax rate is 30 percent, what is the IRR for this project?
depreciation expense per year = $615,000 / 5 = $123,000
initial outlay = -$615,000 + $82,000 = -$533,000
NCF year 1 = [($245,000 - $123,000) x 70%] + $123,000 = $208,400
NCF year 2 = [($245,000 - $123,000) x 70%] + $123,000 = $208,400
NCF year 3 = [($245,000 - $123,000) x 70%] + $123,000 = $208,400
NCF year 4 = [($245,000 - $123,000) x 70%] + $123,000 = $208,400
NCF year 5 = [($245,000 - $123,000) x 70%] + $123,000 + ($67,000 x 70%) = $255,300
IRR = 28.77%
. Which two of the four basic tax planning variables increase the value of Vern's investment? (Select All That Apply).
Answer and Explanation:
Two tax planning variables that increase investment include:
Time period variable; this variable considers when the transaction occurs during the year and tax is calculated based on this. The present value of tax cost reduces tax cost as tax is not collected immediately but is deferred.
Character variable: this variable considers the nature of the transaction and then taxes based on this, such as income from capital gain when an asset is sold, is taxed differently using a different rate from tax on operating income
Ahmed owns a small motor repair shop that had a cash flow of $297,241 in the current period. If Ahmed expects his business to grow at a constant rate of 8%, what should his cash flow be next period?
Answer: $321,020
Explanation:
The cash flow is expected to grow at a rate of 8%.
This means that in the next year it will be 8% higher than the $297,241 it is in the current period.
= 297,241 * ( 1 + rate)
= 297,241 * ( 1 + 8%)
= $321,020
Each unit requires 4 hours of direct labor at a rate of $13 per hour. Variable factory overhead is budgeted to be 70% of direct labor cost, and fixed factory overhead is $179,000 per month. Prepare a factory overhead budget for August.
Answer:
Some numbers are missing, so I looked for similar questions and found the following:
Miami solar budgets production of 5,300 solar panels for August. Each unit requires 4 hours of direct labor at a rate of $13 per hour. Variable factory overhead is budgeted to be 70% of direct labor cost, and fixed factory overhead is $179,000 per month.
direct labor costs per unit = $13 x 4 = $52
variable overhead costs per unit = $52 x 70% = $36.40

A car dealer carries out the following calculations. List price $ 5,368.00 Options $ 1,625.00 Destination charges $ 200.00 Subtotal $ 7,193.00 Tax $ 431.58 Less trade-in $ 2,932.00 Amount to be financed $ 4,692.58 15% interest for 48 months $ 2,815.55 Total $ 7,508.13 MONTHLY PAYMENT $ 156.42 What is the annual percentage rate
Answer and Explanation:
Given interest rate =10%
Repayment months= 48 months,
Interest rate =10% for 48 monthsv
To calculate annual percentage rate,
The annual percentage rate = 2 * repayment months* interest rate divided by repayment months + 1
Annual percentage rate= 2*48*10%/48+1
=2*48*0.10/49
= 96*0.10/49
= 9.6/49= 0.1959= 19.59%
Therefore annual percentage rate = 19.59%
If the elasticity of demand for college textbooks is -0.1, and the price of textbooks increases by 20%, how much will the quantity demanded change, and in what direction
Answer:
The quantity demanded will decrease by 2%.
Explanation:
This can be determined using the elasticity formula as follows:
e = Percentage change in quantity demanded change / Percentage change in price ........ (1)
Where;
e = elasticity of demand for college textbooks = -0.1
Percentage change in quantity demanded change = ?
Percentage change in price = 20%
Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for Percentage change in quantity demanded change
-0.1 = Percentage change in quantity demanded change / 20%
Percentage change in quantity demanded change = -0.1 * 20% = -0.02, or -2%
Since the Percentage change in quantity demanded change is negative 2%, it implies that the quantity demanded will decrease by 2%.
