Answers

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The computations are given below:

1) This 4 is chosen because the marginal benefit will be less than the marginal cost and if it wants to go above that, the price of the drink is greater than the willingness to pay

2) The consumer surplus is  

= (5 - 1.5) + (4 - 1.5) + (3 - 1.5) + (2 - 1.5)

= 8

3) Total surplus decreases to

As we know that

= Consumer surplus - external cost

= 8 - 4

= 4

4) Now Cindy's Consumer surplus is  

= (5 - 1.5) + (4 - 1.5) + (3 - 1.5)

= 7.5

5) Increases

6) 8 - 7.5 = 0.5

7) Consumption = 3 bottles

8) Consumer surplus is

= (5 - 2.5) + (4 - 2.5) + (3 - 2.5)

= 4.5

9) External cost = 3  × 1 = 3 bottle

10) Government revenue  = 3  × 1 = 3 bottle

11) Total surplus is

As we know that

= Consumer surplus - external cost of pollution + government revenue

= 4.5 - 3 + 3

= 4.5

12) would

13) increases

Answers

Answer:

Average investment(denominator) = $113,000

Explanation:

Annual rate of return is the average annual income as a percentage of average investment . It is the proportion of the average investment that is earned, on the average, as annual income.

Annual rate of return = annual net income/ average investment

Average investment =( Initial,cost + scrap value)/2

Average investment = (220,000 + 6,000)/2= $113,000

Average investment(denominator) = $113,000

2. To the extent the data permit, comment on the significant relationships revealed by the horizontal analysis prepared in (1).

Answers

Answer: The answers have been provided below

Explanation:

a. A comparative income statement with horizontal analysis for the two-year period, while using 20Y1 as the base year have been analysed and attached. In the picture attached, the increase or decrease in the amount was gotten from the year 20Y2 and 20Y1.

For example for sales,

Sales 20Y2 = $16,800,000.00

Sales 20Y1 = $15,000,000.00

Amount = $16,800,000.00 - $15,000,000.00 = $1,800,000

Percentage increase = ($1,800,000 ÷ $15,000,000)× 100 = 12%

The same method was applicable to every other figures.

b. We can see that the sales for year 20y2 rose by 12% even though the net income has a negative value of -5.8%.

We can see that there is also a rise in operating expenses of the firm at a higher rate than the increase in the sales rate of the company. The income from operation also reduced by 7.6%. These are some of the reasons which led to the negative net income.

Setrakian Industries needs to raise $71.8 million to fund a new project. The company will sell bonds that have a coupon rate of 5.78 percent paid semiannually and that mature in 25 years. The bonds will be sold at an initial YTM of 6.46 percent and have a par value of $2,000. How many bonds must be sold to raise the necessary funds

Answers

Answer:

39,183  bonds

Explanation:

In order to determine the number of bonds that must be sold to realize cash of $71.8 million,the price per bond needs to be established using pv formula in excel as found below:

=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

rate is yield to maturity of  6.46% divided by 2

nper is the number of coupon payments which is 25 years multiplied by 2 i.e 50

pmt is the amount of semiannual coupon  i.e $2000*5.78%*6/12=$57.8

fv is the face value of $2000 per bond

=-pv(6.46%/2,50,57.8,2000)=$ 1,832.43  

number of bonds to be issued=$71,800,000/$ 1,832.43  = 39,183  bonds

What would be the value of the bond described in Part d if, just after it had been issued, the expected inflation rate rose by 3 percentage points, causing investors to require a 13% return? Would we now have a discount or a premium bond?

Answers

Answer:

The value of bond is $837.213, the bond is a discount bond

Explanation:

Solution

Given that

The Rate of return is 13% which is higher than the  coupon rate.

What this suggest is that the investors anticipates a return that is higher when compared to return supplied by bonds. thus, the bond value we decrease and it becomes a discount bond.

Now,

The bond value is given below:

Bond value = [Coupon rate in year 1 / ( 1 + Investor return )1 + Coupon rate in year 2 / ( 1 + Investor return )2 + Coupon rate in year n / ( 1 + Investor return )n ] +  Par value / ( 1 + investor return )n

Thus,

= [ $100 / (1 + 0.13)1 + $100 / ( 1 + 0.13)2... $100 / ( 1 + 0.13)10 ] + $1000 / ( 1 + 0.13 )10

= $542.62 + 294.58

= $837.21

Value of bond will be = $837.213

Acting as a cartel, the owners of Mystic Energy and E-Storm agree to evenly split the market output. In this case, each firm produces ____.

Answers

Answer:

The amount each firm produces would be 2,500 units per month

Explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

demand curve for hydrogen fuel cells= P = 1,300 – 0.08Q

marginal cost=$500

Therefore, in order to calculate the amount each firm produces we would have to use the following formula:

MR = MC

This gives 1300 - 0.16Q = 500 or Q = 5000 units

Therefore, The amount Each of them would be producing= 5,000/2 = 2500 amount Each of them would be producing=2,500 units per month

The amount each firm produces would be 2,500 units per month

C. Selling expenses only affect the net profit​ margin, but the increase in such expenses will not affect the other margins.
D. Selling expenses do not affect the gross​ margin, but the increase in such expenses will decrease the other margins.

Answers

Answer:

D. Selling expenses do not affect the gross​ margin, but the increase in such expenses will decrease the other margins.

Explanation:

As Selling expenses are charged after gross Income or profit. So, it will not effect the gross income / profit. Other margin are calculated after adjusting the selling expenses, so that will be effected. Operating Margin and Net profit margin are both effected by change in the selling expenses.

Following is the Format of income statement

Sales

Less: Cost of Sales

Gross income / Profit

Less: Operating expenses

Admin Expenses

Selling Expenses

Other Expense

Operating Income / Profit

Less: Interest expense

Less: Tax

Net Income / Profit

When there is an increase in selling expenses, we can expect that D. Selling expenses do not affect the gross​ margin, but the increase in such expenses will decrease the other margins.

Gross margins are calculated by deducting the cost of production or purchasing from the revenue made by the company and not selling expenses.

Gross margins are therefore not affected by selling expenses but other margins such as net margins incorporate selling expenses and so will be affected by them.

Fashion Jewellers sold goods for $14,000.

Out of this $14,000, damaged goods were returned which caused Fashion Jewellers to reduce the figure by $2,000 by way of a sales allowance.

The figure is now,

= 14,000 - 2,000

= $12,000

This $12,000 is subject to a trade term of 4/15, n30 which means that as long as the amount is paid in 15 days, a 4% discount is applicable. If the balance is not paid in 15 days however, it should be paid in 30 days.

Fashion house received the payment within the discount period so the good is liable to a 4% reduction.

= 12,000 * 4%

= $480

That means that only,

= 12,000 - 480

= $11,520 was paid as balance in cash

The proper entry on April 10 is therefore,

DR Cash $11,520

DR Sales Discount $480

CR Accounts Receivable $12,000

Sales discount is an expense and Expenses are debited when they increase.

The options do not have this answer but it is correct.

At the annual meeting of the HR division at a consumer products company, the vice president of HR noted that pay compression was a problematic phenomenon for certain jobs for which there was high demand, but low supply. This problem was especially acute for jobs in information technology and software engineering. The vice president of HR has hired you as a compensation consultant to help the company formulate an action plan for dealing with this situation. What would you say in this situation about potential solutions to the problem?

Answers

Answer:

Provide equity adjustments for employees hardest hit by pay compression

Explanation:

Pay compression is defined as a situation where employees earn similar salary regardless of their skills and experience.

In this situation pay compression will cause employee attrition because they are not satisfied with the compensation that is uniform to all employees.

To remedy this equity adjustments can be introduced for those hardest hit by the pay compression.

For example an information technology expert with 10 years experience will feel undervalued if he is on the same pay level as a new hire.

Equity adjustment is a salary change that is outside normal salary program based on promotion, reclassification, and merit.

This is used as a solution where retention of high demand staff required. A staff can be offered higher compensation to ensure they do not leave the organisation.

Higher compensation can be given based on tenure in a particular position

Suppose the government imposes a tax on cheese. The deadweight loss from this tax will likely be greater in the:a) first year after it is imposed than in the eighth year after it is imposed because demand and supply will be less elastic in the first year than in the eighth year. b) first year after it is imposed than in the eighth year after it is imposed because demand and supply will be more elastic in the first year than in the eighth year. c) eighth year after it is imposed than in the first year after it is imposed because demand and supply will be less elastic in the first year than in the eighth year. d) eighth year after it is imposed than in the first year after it is imposed because demand and supply will be more elastic in the first year than in the eighth year.

Answers

Answer:

 c) eighth year after it is imposed than in the first year after it is imposed because demand and supply will be less elastic in the first year than in the eighth year.

Explanation:

Tax increases the price of a good.

Dead weight loss is reduction in efficiency as a result of taxation.

Demand and supply is usually less elastic in the short run when compared to the long run. I the short run, consumers and producers don't have enough time to search for suitable substitutes.

So in the short run, there would be little or no change in demand or supply but in the long run, consumers would be able to search for more subsituites so the deadweight loss would be greater.

Retired $400,000 of bonds, on which there was $3,000 of unamortized discount, for $411,000.

Answers

Answer:

Find explanations below:

Explanation:

It must be understood that cash flow does not necessarily imply profit or loss.

A company may have been experiencing positive cash flows due selling mostly on a cash basis,  whereas the price charged is lower than cost of per unit,hence it would have high amount of cash, whereas the bottom-line is nothing to write home about.

The cash paid on retirement which is $411,000 would impact financing activities as an outflow.

The $3000 unamortized discount would be deducted from net income

The loss associated with the fact that at the profitminusmaximizing quantity consumers value the goods more than it cost to produce them is called A. Lerner Loss. B. comparative loss. C. deadweight loss. D. Consumer Value Loss.

Answers

Answer:

deadweight loss.

Explanation:

Deadweight loss can also be referred to excess burden. Deadweight loss occurs when there is an inefficiency in the market as a result of reduction in optimal production of goods and services, in this situation the equilibrium of demand and supply is distorted.

For example, deadweight loss can result from raise in price of goods and services as a result of tax. When price is raised as a result of tax, buyers tend to reduce consumption and this can reduce the production of goods. The reduced production of goods and the reduced consumption can reduce the size of the market less than optimum equilibrium.

The following events occurred for Favata Company: a. Received $13,000 cash from owners and issued stock to them. b. Borrowed $10,000 cash from a bank and signed a note due later this year. c. Bought and received $1,100 of equipment on account. d. Purchased land for $18,000; paid $1,600 in cash and signed a long-term note for $16,400. e. Purchased $6,000 of equipment, paid $1,600 in cash and charged the rest on account. Required: For each of the events (a) through (e), perform transaction analysis and indicate the account, amount, and direction of the effect (+ for increase and - for decrease) on the accounting equation. (Enter any decreases to account balances with a minus sign.)

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The indication of the account, amount and the direction of the effect are as follows

As we know that

Accounting equation is

Total assets = Total liabilities + stockholder equity

Based on this, the indication and the direction aare as follows

        Assets                  =              Liabilities            +            Stockholders' Equity

A)        $13,000              =                   0                    +                 $13,000

It increased both the assets and the stockholder equity i.e capital

B)        $10,000                 =                $10,000        +                     0

It increased both the assets and the liabilities

C)       $1,100                   =                $1,100                +                     0

It increased both the assets and the liabilities

D)    +$18,000 -$1,600       =             $16,400            +                     0

It increased the land by $18,000 and decreased the cash by $1,600 and at the same time it increased the liabilities by $16,400

E)      +$6,000 -$1,600      =                  $4,400              +                    0          

It increased the equipment by $6,000 and decreased the cash by $1,600 and at the same time it also increased the liabilities by $4,400

Total   $44,900                 =                  $31,900              +                 $13,000

Automobiles are often leased, and there are several terms unique to auto leases. Suppose you are considering leasing a car. The price you and the dealer agree on for the car is $27,600. This is the base capitalized cost. Other costs that may be added to the capitalized cost price include the acquisition (bank) fee, insurance, or extended warranty. Assume these costs are $1,050. Capitalized cost reductions include any down payment, credit for a trade-in, or dealer rebate. Assume you make a down payment of $3,000 and there is no trade-in or rebate. If you drive 12,000 miles per year, the lease-end residual value for this car will be $17,000 after three years.The lease or "money" factor, which is the interest rate on the loan, is the APR of the loan divided by 2,400. The lease factor the dealer quotes you is .00265. The monthly lease payment consists of three parts: A depreciation fee, a finance fee, and sales tax. The depreciation fee is the net capitalization cost minus the residual value, divided by the term of the lease. The net capitalization cost is the cost of the car minus any cost reductions plus any additional costs. The finance fee is the net capitalization cost plus the residual, times the money factor, and the monthly sales tax is the depreciation payment plus the finance fee, times the tax rate.
a. What APR is the dealer quoting you? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
b. What is your monthly lease payment for a 36-month lease if the sales tax is 7 percent? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

a. 6.36%

b. $378.02

Explanation:

a. The computation of Annual percentage rate is shown below:-

Annual percentage rate = Lease factor × 2,400

= 0.00265 × 2,400

= 6.36%

b. For computation of monthly lease payment first we need to find out the depreciation charge, finance charge and tax which is shown below:-

Depreciation charge = (Base cost + Other cost - Down payment - Residual value) ÷ Number of lease payment

= ($27,600 + $1,050 - $3,000 - $17,000) ÷ 36

= $8,650 ÷ 36

= $240.27

Finance charge = (Base cost + Other cost - Down payment - Residual value) × Lease factor

= ($27,600 + $1,050 - $3,000 - $17,000) × 0.00265

= $42,650 × 0.00265

= $113.0225

now,

Tax = (Depreciation charge + Finance charge) × Tax rate

= ($240.27 + $113.0225) × 7%

= $353.2925 × 7%

= $24.73

Monthly Lease payment = Depreciation charge + Finance charge + Tax

= $240.27 + $113.0225 + $24.73

= $378.02

Brian lives in Denver and runs a business that sells pianos. In an average year, he receives $704,000 from selling pianos. Of this sales revenue, he must pay the manufacturer a wholesale cost of $404,000. He also pays wages and utility bills totaling $286,000. He owns his showroom; if he chooses to rent it out, he will receive $3,000 in rent per year. Assume that the value of this showroom does not depreciate over the year. Also, if Brian does not operate this piano business, he can work as an accountant and receive an annual salary of $20,000 with no additional monetary costs. No other costs are incurred in running this piano business.

1. Identify each of Brian's costs in the following table as either an implicit cost or an explicit cost of selling pianos:

Implicit Cost Explicit Cost
The wholesale cost for the pianos that Brian pays the manufacturer
The salary Brian could earn if he worked as an accountant
The wages and utility bills that Brian pays
The rental income Brian could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom
2. Complete the following table by determining Brian's accounting and economic profit of his piano business.

Profit $
Accounting Profit
Economic Profit
If Brian's goal is to maximize his economic profit, should he stay in the piano business or rather work as an accountant?

Answers

Answer:

Explicit cost :

The wholesale cost for the pianos that Brian pays the manufacturer

The wages and utility bills that Brian pays

Implicit cost:

The salary Brian could earn if he worked as an accountant

The rental income Brian could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom

Accounting profit = $14,000

Economic profit = $-9,000

He should stop selling painos. He should work as an accountant

Explanation:

Explicit cost is total actual cost incurred in running a business.

Implicit cost is the opportunity cost of running the piano business. It is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives.

Accounting profit = Total revenue - Total explicit cost

Total revenue = $704,000

Total explicit cost = $404,000 + $286,000 = $690,000

Accounting profit = $704,000 - $690,000 = $14,000

Economic profit is accounting profit less implicit cost or opportunity cost.

Economic profit = Accounting profit - Opportunity cost

Opportunity cost = $20,000 + $3,000 = $23,000

Economic profit = $14,000 - $23,000 = $-9,000

He should work as an accountant instead since his economic profit is negative. He would earn more working as an accountant than selling pianos
