A
Explanation:
A monopoly is when there are two firms operating in an industry.

A home mortgage loan closed on July 1 for $765,000 at 5.5% interest amortized over 25 years at $4,697.77 per month. Using a 360-day year, what would the principal amount be after the monthly payment was made August 1?
Answer:
$763,808.48
Explanation:
The computation of the principal amount after considering the monthly payment is shown below:
But before that first we have to determine the annual interest i.e
= $765,000 × 5.5%
= $42075
Now the one month interest rate which is
= $42,075 ÷ 12 months
= $3506.25
And, the given interest rate per month is $4,697.77
So, now the principal amount is
= $765,000 - ($4,697.77 - $3506.25)
= $765,000 - $1,191.52
= $763,808.48

An appraiser used the cost approach to estimate a property’s value at $220,000. The site value was $50,000, and the total depreciation estimate was $4,000. What was the estimated cost of improvements?
Answer:
$174,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the estimated cost of improvements
Using this formula
Estimated cost= Property’s value -Site value + Total depreciation
Let plug in the formula
Estimated cost=$220,000-$50,000+$4,000
Estimated cost=$174,000
Therefore the Estimated cost of improvements will be $174,000

The management of Fannin Corporation is considering dropping product H58S. Data from the company's accounting system, appear below: Sales $ 950,000 Variable expenses $ 380,000 Fixed manufacturing expenses $ 362,000 Fixed selling and administrative expenses $ 242,000 In the company's accounting system, all fixed expenses of the company are fully allocated to products. Further investigation has revealed that $217,000 of the fixed manufacturing expenses and $178,000 of the fixed selling and administrative expenses are avoidable if product H58S is discontinued. What would be the effect on the company's overall net operating income if product H58S were dropped
Answer:
Net operating profit will decrease by $175,000 if product H58S is dropped.
Explanation:
Sales $950,000
Variable expenses $380,000
Fixed manufacturing expenses $362,000
Fixed selling and administrative expenses $242,000
net loss -$34,000
non-avoidable manufacturing expenses = $362,000 - $217,000 = $145,000
non-avoidable S&A expenses = $242,000 - $178,000 = $64,000
total non-avoidable expenses = $209,000
Net operating profit will decrease by $209,000 - $34,000 = $175,000 if product H58S is dropped. Non-avoidable expenses will have to be allocated to other product lines, therefore, they will reduce the company's operating profit even if this product line is dropped.

The future value of a loan is the A. compounded value of the interest payments. B. value of the profits the firm will earn from investing the loan. C. present value plus the interest rate. D. amount of money the firm pays.
Answer:
A. compounded value of the interest payments.
Explanation:
let's assume you take out a loan of $50,000 at an interest rate of 5% annually for 2 years, the future value of the loan :
The formula for calculating future value:
FV = P (1 + r)^n
FV = Future value
P = Present value
R = interest rate
N = number of years
$50,000(1.05)^2 = $55,125
We can see that the future value of the loan was determined by (1 + r)^n which is the compounded value of interest payments
A company issued rights to its existing shareholders without consideration. The rights allowed the recipients to purchase unissued common stock for an amount in excess of par value. When the rights are issued, which of the following accounts will be increased?

One of the great dangers in allocating common fixed Blank 1 of 1 costs is that such allocations can make a product line look less profitable than it really is.
Answer:
One of the great dangers in allocating common fixed corporate costs is that such allocations can make a product line look less profitable than it really is.
Explanation:
Therefore, care must be exercised so that a product line is not eliminated because the common fixed costs have been allocated to it such that it becomes unprofitable. This is why it is necessary to identify activity cost pools into which such fixed costs can be accumulated and from which they can be allocated to product lines. Using ABC costing approach, for instance, offers a means of escape because the system tries to allocate costs based on the level of usage or consumption of such common costs by each product line instead of using arbitrary allocation formulas.

Ira Company, a retailer, had cost of goods sold of $160,000 last year. The beginning inventory balance was $26,000 and the ending inventory balance was $24,000. The company's average sale period was closest to: Select one: a. 114.06 days b. 54.75 days c. 59.31 days d. 57.03 days
Answer:
The company's average sale period was closest to: b. 54.75 days
Explanation:
The average sale period measures the length of time that it takes to sell the inventory.

= 54.75 days
if the cross price elasticity between goods b and a is -2 and the price of good b increases by 5 percent the quantity demanded of good a will
Answer:
lead to a fall in quantity demanded by 10%
Explanation:
The cross price elasticity of demand measures the effect of the percentage in price of one good on the quantity demanded of another good.
Cross price elasticity = percentage change in quantity demanded of good A / percentage change in price of good B
2 = percentage change in quantity demanded of good A / 5%
percentage change in quantity demanded of good A = 10%
Because demand is elastic, the quantity demanded would fall by 10%
Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes. A small change in price would lead to a greater change in quantity demanded

Deltra was willing to purchase a dozen cookies for $60 that Deirdre was willing to sell for anything more than $32. If they agreed on a price of $36, how much total value was created in this exchange?
Answer:
$28
Explanation:
The computation of the total value that would be created in the exchange is shown below;
The Deltra surplus is
= Purchase value - agreed price
= $60 - $36
= $24
And, the Deirdre surplus is
= Agreed price - willing to sell
= $36 - $32
= $4
Now the total value created is
= Deltra surplus + Deirdre surplus
= $24 + $4
= $28
Based on the information given the total value that was created in this exchange is $28.
First step is tom calculate Deltra value
Deltra value=$60-$36
Deltra value=$24
Second step is to calculate Deirdre value
Deirdre value=$36-$32
Deirdre value=$4
Third step is to calculate the total value
Total value=$24-$4
Total value=$28
Inconclusion the total value that was created in this exchange is $28.
