Answer:
12.00%
Explanation:
As per the given question the solution of standard deviation of a portfolio is provided below:-
Standard deviation of a portfolio = √(Standard deviation of Product 1)^2 × (Weight 1)^2 + Standard deviation of Product 2)^2 × (Weight 2)^2 + 2 × Standard deviation of product 1 × Standard deviation of product 2 × Weight 1 × Weight 2 × Correlation
= √(0.165^2 × 0.6^2) + (0.068^2 × 0.4^2) + (2 × 0.6 × 0.4 × 0.165 × 0.068 × 0.7)
= √0.009801 + 0.0007398 + 0.00376992
= √0.01431076
= 0.119628592
or
= 12.00%
So, we have calculated the standard deviation of a portfolio by using the above formula.
Use the following to answer the next 4 questions Suppose gold mining in the US was a perfectly competitive industry with N = 40 firms. Over the years Mr. Barrick purchased the all individual gold mines. The industry is now a monopoly owned by Mr. Barrick $ 70 60 40 30 MC = AC 10 20 30 40 50 60 Q MR 32) The profit Mr. Barrick earns as a monopolist is a. $700 b. $600 c. $900 d. $1000 e. none of the above 33) Before Mr. Barrick monopolized the industry, the total industry output of N = 40 competitive firms was Q = a. 20 b. 30 c. 40 d. 60 e. none of the above 34) After monopolization price per unit increased by a. 20 b. 30 c. 40 d. 60 e. none of the above 35) What is the extent of inefficiency (DWL = loss of total surplus) as a result of monopolization of what used to be a competitive industry? a. 450 b. 400 c. 500 d. 350 e. none of the above
Answer:
32) - Option c i.e., $900.
33) - Option d i.e., 60.
34) - Option d i.e., 60.
35) - Option a i.e., $450.
Explanation:
32) - Mr. Barrick 's income as a corporation is $900.
Then, we apply the formula of profit maximization that is :
[tex]Profit = quantity \times (price - AC)[/tex]
[tex]=30\times(60-30)[/tex]
[tex]=30\times30=900[/tex]
[tex]Profit=\$900[/tex]
33) - While Mr. Barrick controlled the market, the total manufacturing production of N = 40 competitive companies was Q = 60.
In a reasonably marketplace, companies can sell where the marginal cost remains equivalent to the demand curve or that MC remains equivalent to the demand curve at 60.
34) - After the monopoly cost per unit raised by $60.
Price as well as quantity shall be determined by the monopoly where MR = MC. Price is determined mostly on demand curve relating to that same points where MR = MC has been 60 as well and the quantities are determined also on the y-axis that is 30.
35) - [tex]DWL(Dead\;Weight\;Loss) =\frac{1}{2} \times(60-30)\times(60-30)[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{1}{2} \times30\times30[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{1}{2} \times900=450[/tex]
[tex]DWL=\$450[/tex]
During 2022 Concord Corporation had sales on account of $596000, cash sales of $235000, and collections on account of $342000. In addition, they collected $9200 which had been written off as uncollectible in 2021. As a result of these transactions the change in the accounts receivable balance from the beginning of the year to the end of the year indicates a:_______
Answer:
$254,000
Explanation:
First and foremost,the cash of $9,200 collected in respect of debt already written off as uncollectible would not affect the balance in accounts receivable since the debt would reinstated and also taken out of accounts receivable simultaneously.
The change in accounts is the difference between the sales on account of $596,000 and collections in respect of accounts receivable of $342,000
change in accounts receivable=$596,000-$342,000=$254,000
A company uses the percent of sales method to determine its bad debts expense. At the end of the current year, the company's unadjusted trial balance reported the following selected amounts: All sales are made on credit. Based on past experience, the company estimates 0.6% of credit sales to be uncollectible. What adjusting entry should the company make at the end of the current year to record its estimated bad debts expense
The complete question is:
A company uses the percent of sales method to determine its bad debts expense. At the end of the current year, the company's unadjusted trial balance reported the following selected amounts:
Accounts receivable $349,000 debit
Allowance for uncollectible accounts 660 debit
Net Sales 794,000 credit
All sales are made on credit. Based on past experience, the company estimates that 0.6% of net credit sales are uncollectible. What amount should be debited to Bad Debts Expense when the year-end adjusting entry is prepared?
Answer:
A debit of $4,764 to Bad Debt Expense
Explanation:
When a company uses the percentage of sales approach to determine its bad debt expense, it uses an estimated percentage of net sales made to calculate it's debt expense.
In this case there was a net sales of $794,000.
Based on experience about 0.6% of sales are usually uncollectible
Estimated debt expense= Percentage loss * Net sales
Estimated debt expense= 0.006 * 794,000
Estimated debt expense= $4,764
The adjusting entry at year end will involve a debit of $4,764 to Bad Debt Expense
Fast Photo operates four film developing labs in upstate New York. The four labs are identical: They employ the same production technology, process the same mix of films, and buy raw materials from the same companies at the same prices. Wage rates are also the same at the four plants. In reviewing operating results for November, the newly hired assistant controller, Matt Paige, became quite confused over the numbers:
Plant A

Upon further study, Matt learned that each plant had fixed overhead of $300,000. Matt remembered from his managerial accounting class that as volume increases, average fixed cost per unit falls. Because Plant D had much lower average fixed costs per roll than Plants A and B, Matt expected Plant D to be more profitable than Plants A and B. But the numbers show just the opposite. Write a concise but clear memo to Matt that will resolve his confusion.
Answer:
Fast Photo
Memo to Matt:
From: Financial Controller
To: Matt Paige (Asst Controller)
Subject: Fixed Overhead and Plant D's Profit
Date: June 5, 2020
The above subject refers.
I wish to clarify the issue of fixed cost per unit. It is true that fixed cost per unit decreases with increased volume. It is also true that Plant D had much lower average fixed costs per roll $4.62 ($300,000/65,000) than Plants A's $6 ($300,000/50,000), B's $5.45 ($300,000/55,000) and even C's $5 ($300,000/60,000).
However, the issue of profit is not dependent on the fixed cost per unit alone. There are other variables. Profit is also determined by the variable cost per unit and the selling price. Since the four plants have the same selling price, we shall not consider selling price as a factor hence.
Therefore, note the variable cost per unit for each plant stated as follows: A = $3.90, B = $4.40, C= $4.97, and D = $5.42. This shows that it costs more per unit of variable cost to produce in Plant D. The difference will be explained by efficiencies in technology use, processing, quantity of materials used and wasted, and the number of labor hours spent in Plant D vis-a-vis other plants.
It is then necessary to review these variances as stated in order to explain why Plant D recorded a net loss of $2,000.
I hope that this issue has been clarified.
Regards,
FC

The common stock of the P.U.T.T. Corporation has been trading in a narrow price range for the past month, and you are convinced it is going to break far out of that range in the next 3 months. You do not know whether it will go up or down, however. The current price of the stock is $110 per share, and the price of a 3-month call option at an exercise price of $110 is $6.53. a. If the risk-free interest rate is 8% per year, what must be the price of a 3-month put option on P.U.T.T. stock at an exercise price of $110? (The stock pays no dividends.) (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
$3.86
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
Current price of stock (S0) = $110
Call option at exercise price X is $110
Three month call option price (C) = $6.53
Risk free interest rate = 8%
Price of the three month P.U.T.T option (P) = C - S0 + PV (X)
= $6.53 - $140 + $140 ÷ (1+8%)^(3÷12 )
= $6.53 - $140 + $140 ÷ (1+8%)^.25
= $6.53 - $140 + $140 ÷ 1.019427
= $6.53 - $140 + $137.33
= $3.86
A banana costs $0.50 and a piece of candy costs $0.25 at the local cafeteria. You have $1.25 in your pocket and you value money. The money-equivalent value (payoff ) you get from eating your first banana is $1.20, and that of each additional banana is half the previous one (the second banana gives you a value of $0.60, the third $0.30, and so on). Similarly the payoff you get from eating your first piece of candy is $0.40, and that of each additional piece is half the previous one ($0.20, $0.10, and so on). Your value from eating bananas is not affected by how many pieces of candy you eat and vice versa.
Required:
a. What is the set of possible actions you can take given your budget of $1.25?
b. Draw the decision tree that is associated with this decision problem.
c. Should you spend all your money at the cafeteria? Justify your answer with a rational choice argument.
Answer:
a. What is the set of possible actions you can take given your budget of $1.25?
bananas candies total utils
0 5 $0.78
1 3 $1.90
2 1 $2.20
b. Draw the decision tree that is associated with this decision problem.
I attached a decision tree on PDF
c. Should you spend all your money at the cafeteria? Justify your answer with a rational choice argument.
Yes, since you can obtain more benefits from purchasing 2 bananas and 1 candy than the money that you have (total benefits $2.20 vs $1.25 in cash).
Explanation:
utility obtained from first banana $1.20, payoff per $ spent = 2.4
utility obtained from second banana $0.60, payoff per $ spent = 1.2
utility obtained from third banana $0.30, payoff per $ spent = 0.6
utility obtained from first candy $0.40, payoff per $ spent = 1.6
utility obtained from second banana $0.20, payoff per $ spent = 0.8
utility obtained from third banana $0.10, payoff per $ spent = 0.4

Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard:
Direct materials 2.0 plates $2.75 per plate
Direct labor 0.2 hours $15.00 per hour
Variable manufacturing overhead 0.2 hours $7.00 per hour
Actual:
1,500 blood tests.
3,600 plates were purchased for $9,540
3,200 plates were used for blood tests
340 actual direct labor-hours were worked for $5,550
1)The materials price variance:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (2.75 - 2.65)*3,600= $360 favorable
2) The materials quantity variance:
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (2*1,500 - 3,200)*2.75
Direct material quantity variance= $550 unfavorable
3) The labor rate variance:
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (15 - 16.32)*340= $448.8 unfavorable
4) The labor efficiency variance:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (1,500*0.2 - 340)*15
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $600 unfavorable
5) The variable overhead efficiency variance:
Variable overhead efficiency variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*Standard rate
Variable overhead efficiency variance= (1,500*0.2 - 340)*7

Explanation:
The Camera Shop sells two popular models of digital SLR cameras (Camera A Price: 200, Camera A Price: 300). The sales of these products are not independent of each other, but rather if the price of one increase, the sales of the other will increase. In economics, these two camera models are called substitutable products. The store wishes to establish a pricing policy to maximize revenue from these products. A study of price and sales data shows the following relationships between the quantity sold (N) and prices (P) of each model:
NA = 195 - 0.5PA + 0.35PB
NB = 300 + 0.06PA - 0.5PB
Construct a model for the total revenue and implement it on a spreadsheet. Develop two-way data table to estimate the optimal prices for each product in order to maximize the total revenue. Vary each price from $250 to $500 in increments of $10.
Max profit occurs at Camera A price of $ .
Max profit occurs at Camera B price of $
Answer:
Max Revenue (not necessarily profit) occurs at Camera A price of $380
Max Revenue (not necessarily profit) occurs at Camera B price of $460
Explanation:
Assuming prices varying between $250 to $500 with $10 intervals, the total revenues of camera A are shown below:

In 2010, many high-income countries will be focused on the short-term economic horizon due to aggressive and often controversial steps governments took to jump-start these economies out of severe recession. Considering the economic challenges that result from these policies, which of the following actions would be most advisable?
A. extricate themselves from the recession and the policies adopted in fighting that recessionB. to continue to temporarily disregard the foundations for future long-term growthC. find niches that they are well-suited to fill in the global networks of economic productionD. build upon or copy technologies and industries developed by other technology leaders
Answer:
A. extricate themselves from the recession and the policies adopted in fighting that recession
Explanation:
The United States, Western Europe, and Japan had great financial crisis and deep recession, and suffered from the after-effects of the recession. These effects included increased unemployment rates which could linger for several years. These countries had to focus on the short term rather than the long term. Some of the economies took aggressive and controversial steps by running very big deficit budget as part of expansionary fiscal policy. The countries adopted combination of lower government spending and higher taxes.
The action most advisable would be to
extricate themselves from the recession and the policies adopted in fighting that recession

The balance sheet of the central bank is
Assets Liabilities
Gov't bonds $5000 Currency $2100
Gold $500 Reserves of commercial banks $3400
The consolidated balance sheet of commercial banks is
Assets Liabilities
Reserves at the central bank $3400 Deposits $14400
Loans $12000 Commercial bonds issued by banks $1000
If the required reserve-deposit ratio is 15%, can commercial banks increase the amount of loans by at least $1000?
A. Yes, by buying back the bonds and depositing the proceeds into the reserve account at the central bank.
B. Yes, by lowering reserves by $1000.
C. No, because the amount of deposits exceeds the amount of loans.
D. Yes, but only if some of the newly issued loans are redeposited to the banks.
E. No, because then the reserve-deposit ratio will fall below 15%.
Answer:
Option (B) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Reserves of commercial banks = $3,400
Required reserve-deposit ratio = 15%
Deposits = $14,400
Required reserve = 15% of Deposits
= 0.15 × $14,400
= $2,160
Excess reserves is the difference between total reserves and required reserves.
Excess reserves = Total reserves - Required reserves
= $3,400 - $2,160
= $1,240
Therefore, the commercial banks can increase the amount of loans by $1,240. So, they can increase the loan amount by at least $1,000 by reducing its reserves by $1,000.

Consider the following situations for Shocker:
a, On November 28, 2021, Shocker receives a $3,150 payment from a customer for services to be rendered evenly over the next three months. Deferred Revenue is credited.
b. On December 1, 2021, the company pays a local radio station $2,430 for 30 radio ads that were to be aired, 10 per month, throughout December, January, and February. Prepaid Advertising is debited.
c. Employee salaries for the month of December totaling $7,100 will be paid on January 7, 2022.
d. On August 31, 2021, Shocker borrows $61,000 from a local bank. A note is signed with principal and 9% interest to be paid on August 31, 2022.
Required:
1. Record the necessary adjusting entries for Shocker at December 31, 2021. No adjusting entries were made during the year.
Answer:
a.
Dec 31, 2021 Deferred Revenue 1050 Dr
Revenue 1050 Cr
b.
Dec 31, 2021 Advertising Expense 810 Dr
Prepaid Advertising 810 Cr
c.
Dec 31, 2021 Salaries Expense 7100 Dr
Salaries Payable 7100 Cr
d.
Dec 31, 2021 Interest Expense 1830 Dr
Interest Payable 1830 Cr
Explanation:
a.
The revenue is received in advance for December 2021, January and February 2022. At the end of the year, the revenue for December has been earned and will be recorded as revenue and a decrease in liability of deferred revenue.
Revenue December = 3150 / 3 = 1050
b.
The advertisement expenses were paid in advance. On 31 December, the ads for december has been consumed and the expense will be recorded.
Advertising expense december = (2430 / 30) * 10 = 810
c.
The salaries relating to december are accrued and will be paid in January. Thus, an accrual will be recorded against the salaries expense.
d.
The note carries interest that becomes due over the lifetime of the note. The accrual principle matches the revenues and expenses of a particular period. Thus, interest relating to 4 months from September 2021 to December 2021 will be recorded as an expense and a liability in adjusting entry made on 31 december 2021.
Interest expense 2021 = 61000 * 0.09 * 4/12 = 1830
Amazon Appliance Company has three installers. Larry earns $355 per week, Curly earns $430 per week, and Moe earns $560 per week. The company's SUTA rate is 5.4%, and the FUTA rate is 6% minus the SUTA. As usual, these taxes are paid on the first $7,000 of each employee's earnings.
A. How much SUTA and FUTA tax does Amazon owe for the first quarter of the year?
B. How much SUTA and FUTA tax does Amazon owe for the second quarter of the year?
Answer:
A. SUTA = $929.07
FUTA = $103.23
B. SUTA = $204.93
FUTA = $22.77
Explanation:
A. First Quarter
52 weeks in a year.
Quarterly therefore there are,
= 52/4
= 13 weeks in a quarter.
In a quarter the employees makes the following,
Larry
= 355 * 13
= $4,615
Curly
= 430 * 13
= $5,590
Moe
= 560 * 13
= $7,280
SUTA Taxes are on first $7,000 so Moe will not pay full 5.4%.
SUTA Taxes
Larry
= 4,615 * 5.4%
= $249.21
Curly
= 5,590 * 5.4%
= $301.86
Moe
= 7,000 * 5.4%
= $378
In total for SUTA,
= 249.21 + 301.86 + 378
= $929.07
For FUTA
Tax is 6% - SUTA so,
= 6% - 5.4%
= 0.6%
Larry
= 4,615 * 0.6%
= $27.69
Curly
= 5,590 * 0.6%
= $33.54
Moe
= 7,000 * 0.6%
= $42
In total for FUTA,
= 27.69 + 33.54 + 42
= $103.23
B. Second Quarter.
Here bear in mind that Moe no longer has to be paid for as he has earned $7,000 in the first quarter.
This leaves just Larry and Curly who have already earned something in the first quarter which should be removed from $7,000 to find out how much they are to pay taxes on.
SUTA Taxes
First $7,000.
Larry has already been paid 4,615 leaving,
= 7,000 - 4,615
= $2,385 is the figure that SUTA and FUTA should be based on.
For Curly
= 7,000 - 5,590
= $1,410 is the figure that SUTA and FUTA should be based on.
Larry SUTA
= 2,385 * 5.4%
= $128.79
Curly SUTA
= 1,410 * 5.4%
= 76.14
Total for SUTA is,
= 128.79 + 76.14
= $204.93
Then FUTA using the same figures.
Larry FUTA
= 2,385 * 0.6%
= $14.31
Curly SUTA
= 1,410 * 0.6%
= $8.46
Total for FUTA is,
= 14.31 + 8.46
= $22.77
Hair Zone manufactures a brand of hair styling gel. It is considering adding a modified version of the product-a foam that provides stronger hold. Hair Zone's variable costs and prices to wholesalers are: Current hair gel New foam product Unit selling price 2.00 2.25 Unit variable costs 85 1.25 Hair Zone expects to sell 1 million units of the new styling foam in the first year after introduction, but it expects that 60% of those sales will come from buyers who normally purchase Hair Zone's styling gel. Hair Zone estimates that it would sell 1.5 million units of the gel if it did not introduce the foam. If the fixed cost of launching the new foam will be $100,000 d the first year, should Hair Zone add the new product to its line? Why or why not?
Answer:
Should Hair Zone add the new product to its line? Why or why not?
Yes they should, since it would increase their total net income by $210,000.Explanation:
Current hair gel New foam product
Unit selling price $2.00 $2.25
Unit variable costs $0.85 $1.25
expected sales for new foam product 1,000,000 units, but 600,000 units would replace sales from current hair gel
expected sales for current hair gel if new foam is introduced 900,000 units (1,500,000 if no new product is introduced)
Alternative 1 Alternative 2 Differential
no new foam new foam income
total sales revenue $3,000,000 $4,050,000 $1,050,000
total variable costs ($1,275,000) ($2,015,000) ($740,000)
additional fixed costs $0 ($100,000) ($100,000)
total $1,725,000 $1,935,000 $210,000
On October 15, 2020, the board of directors of Ensor Materials Corporation approved a stock option plan for key executives. On January 1, 2021, 32 million stock options were granted, exercisable for 32 million shares of Ensor's $1 par common stock. The options are exercisable between January 1, 2024, and December 31, 2026, at 80% of the quoted market price on January 1, 2021, which was $30. The fair value of the 32 million options, estimated by an appropriate option pricing model, is $6 per option. Ensor chooses the option to recognize forfeitures only when they occur.
Ten percent (2.6 million) of the options were forfeited when an executive resigned in 2022. All other options were exercised on July 12, 2025, when the stock’s price jumped unexpectedly to $25 per share.Required:1. When is Ensor’s stock option measurement date?2. Determine the compensation expense for the stock option plan in 2021. (Ignore taxes.)3. Prepare the journal entries to reflect the effect of forfeiture of the stock options on Ensor’s financial statements for 2022 and 2023.5. Prepare the journal entry to account for the exercise of the options in 2025.
Answer:
1. The Ensor's stock measurement date is January 01, 2021
2. Compensation expense for the stock option is $50 million
3. Please see journal entry in the explanation below.
Explanation:
1. It was clearly indicated in the question that on January 1, 2021 , 32 million stock options were granted hence measurement date is ; 1st of January, 2021
2. The fair value per stock option is $6
Therefore, total compensation expenses = $6 × 25 million
= $150 million
Since the options are exerciseable between 01/01/2024 and 01/01/2026
The period for vesting will be 3 years from 01/01/2021 - 31/12/2023
Therefore, the compensation expense for the stock option in year 2021 = Total compensation expense/ Vesting period
= $150 million /3
= $50 million
3. Since 2.6 million(10%) were forfeited, 90% represent the remaining unforfeited. I. e (100%-10%)=90%
In 2022, which is the second year of the vesting period, compensation expense would be;
Compensation expense of 2022 = (Total compensation expense * 90% * the order of the period / Number of period - Compensation expense of
2021
= $150 million *90% *2/3 - $50 million
=$40 million.
In 2023,
Dr Cr
Compensation expense. $40 million
Paid in capital stock options. $40 million
Waterway Industries purchased equipment in 2019 at a cost of $906000. Two years later it became apparent to Waterway Industries that this equipment had suffered an impairment of value. In early 2021, the book value of the asset is $583000 and it is estimated that the fair value is now only $359000. The entry to record the impairment is
A. Retained Earnings 224000
Accumulated Depreciation—Equipment 224000
B. Loss on Impairment of Equipment 224000
Accumulated Depreciation—Equipment 224000
C. No entry is necessary as a write-off violates the historical cost principle.
D. Retained Earnings 224000
Reserve for Loss on Impairment of Equipment 224000
Answer:
B. Loss on Impairment of Equipment 224000
Accumulated Depreciation—Equipment 224000
Explanation:
The journal entry to record the impairment is shown below:
Impairment loss ($583,000 - $359,000) $224000
To Accumulated depreciation -Equipment $224000
(Being the impairment loss is recorded)
For recording this we debited the impairment loss as it increased the losses and at the same time it decreased the value of the assets so the accumulated depreciation is credited
Exercise 6A-5 Least-Squares Regression [LO6-11][The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] George Caloz & Frères, located in Grenchen, Switzerland, makes luxury custom watches in small lots. One of the company’s products, a platinum diving watch, goes through an etching process. The company has recorded etching costs as follows over the last six weeks: WeekUnitsTotal Etching Cost1 4 $18 2 3 17 3 8 25 4 6 20 5 7 24 6 2 16 30 $120 For planning purposes, management would like to know the variable etching cost per unit and the total fixed etching cost per week.Exercise 6A-5 Part 33. If the company processes five units next week, what would be the expected total etching cost?
Answer:
George Caloz & Freres
The High - Low method can be used to solve:
The Highest Units and cost = 8 at $25
The Lowest Units and cost = 2 at $16
The difference = 6 units at $9
a) Variable cost = $9/6 = $1.5 per unit
b) Fixed cost at Highest unit produced, is then:
8 x $1.5 + Fixed cost = $25
Fixed cost = $25 = $12 (8 x $1.5) = $13
Check:
At lowest units of production, fixed cost:
Fixed cost = $16 - $3(2x $1.5) = $13
c) If the company processes 5 units next week, the expected total etching costs will be $20.50 (5x $1.5 + $13)
Explanation:
a) Arrangement of the cost data:
Week Units Total Etching Cost
1 4 $18
2 3 $17
3 8 $25
4 6 $20
5 7 $24
6 2 $16
30 $120
b) The High - Low can be used to work out the variable and fixed elements of cost. This method extracts the differences in units and cost to determine the variable cost per unit and the fixed cost.
Much of the empirical evidence on the behavior of costs for real-world firms suggests that:
A. there is no relationship between the marginal and average variable costs of production.
B. for many firms, marginal and average variable costs are constant over wide ranges of output.
C. average costs functions are U-shaped as suggested by economic theory.
D. for most firms, marginal costs are declining in the range in which the firms operate.
Answer:
B. for many firms, marginal and average variable costs are constant over wide ranges of output.
Explanation:
Traditional Cost Theory : Marginal & Average Variable Cost are U shaped.
Modern theory of cost behaviour for real world firms suggest - 'short run average variable cost (SAVC)' is saucer shape curve, ie flat (constant) stretch over a wide range of output.
Such shape of SAVC is due to 'reserve capacity' of production by firms, to meet up unexpected demand change due to seasonal or consumer taste changes. This reserve capacity prevents the SAVC to rise immediately after falling (as per U shape) & rather sustains it constant for a wide range of output (as a saucer shape)
The common stock of the C.A.L.L. Corporation has been trading in a narrow range around $95 per share for months, and you believe it is going to stay in that range for the next 3 months. The price of a 3-month put option with an exercise price of $95 is $6.00. a. If the risk-free interest rate is 9% per year, what must be the price of a 3-month call option on C.A.L.L. stock at an exercise price of $95 if it is at the money? (The stock pays no dividends.) (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.).3
Answer:
$ 8.02
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
The trading narrow range of the CALL corporation = $95
The range stay = 3 months
The price of a 3 month put option with a price exercise = $6.00
Risk free interest rate = 9%
Now
Recall the call put parity equation:
C = P + S - K x (1 + r)-T
= 6 + 95 - 95 x (1 + 9%)-3/12 = $ 8.02
Therefore the price he price of a 3-month call option on C.A.L.L. stock at an exercise price of $95 if it is at the money is $ 8.02

In the Heckscher-Ohlin model, when there is international-trade equilibrium:
A. the capital-rich country will charge more for the capital-intensive good than the price paid by the capital-poor country for the capital-intensive good.
B. workers in the capital-rich country will earn more than those in the poor country.
C. the workers in the capital-rich country will earn less than those in the poor country.
D. the capital-rich country will charge less for the capital-intensive good than the price paid by the capital-poor country for the capital-intensive good.
E. the relative price of the capital-intensive good in the capital-rich country will be the same as that in the capital-poor country.
Answer:
E. the relative price of the capital-intensive good in the capital-rich country will be the same as that in the capital-poor country.
Explanation:
Heckscher-Ohlin International Trade theory states that : a country should export the good which uses its abundant resource intensively, & import the good which uses its its scarce resource intensively.
Example : If country 1 is capital abundant, it should export capita intensive good C. And, it should import labour intensive good L from capital abundant country 2.
Implication : Capital abundant (rich) country has low price of capital intensive good, Capital scarce (poor) country has high price of capital intensive good. This provides the rationale of above specialisation export - import benefit
Export of capital intensive good from capital abundant (capital rich) country decreases their domestic supply. This increases their price in exporting country. Import of these goods in capital scarce (capital poor) country increases supply in imported markets. So, it decreases their price in importing country.This happens till relative price of the capital-intensive good in the capital-rich country will be the same as that in the capital-poor country.
On June 15, a US firm is planning to import Mexican caviar worth Pesos 2 million due on July 15 (one month later). The firm decides to hedge its payables position by using September peso futures. The spot rate on June 15 is US$ 0.0630 / peso and the September futures price on June 15 is at $0.0665 per peso. One month late on July 15, the spot rate is $0.0570 / peso while the September futures price is $0.0615 / peso. Assume contract size is 2 million pesos.
Required:
1. What is the gain or loss from the futures hedge?
Answer:
The firm incur a loss of $ 9,000 due to future contract
Explanation:
Let's compute the gain of loss from the future hedge as follows
As the US firm is importing the goods it will have to pay for the value in US dollars
Contract Size = 2,000,000 peso
Spot rate on 15 July = $ 0.0570/ peso
September future price on July 15 = $ 0.0615/ peso
Difference in Spot and Future rate = ( September future price on July 15 - Spot rate on 15 July )
= ( 0.0615 - 0.0570 )
= $ 0.045/ peso
This means that the firm will have to pay additional $ 0.045/ peso for the future contract which is a loss for the US firm
Total Loss = Difference in Spot and Future rate * Contract size
Total loss = 0.045 * 2,000,000
Total loss = $ 9,000
The firm incur a loss of $ 9,000 due to future contract.
The Campus Collective company, which creates unique apps for colleges, has recently lost three large university clients that made up 40% of its total revenue. This has hit the company hard and management finds it necessary to reduce staff or wages. The economy also appears to be headed toward a recession and gaining more clients will most likely be harder to accomplish. Because it is a smaller company everyone knows each other and knows there are tough choices ahead. Management brings up the idea of an across the board wage reduction so that no one be let go, but some employees don’t believe that a wage cut will be equally applied to all. The employees are also not sure if other people working their same jobs in the economy are getting reduced wages. They start to argue against wage reduction and things get a bit heated. Which theory best illustrate this wage stickiness scenario?
Answer:
Relative wage coordination argument
Explanation:
Relative wage coordination argument states that even though workers are willing to accept wage cuts due to economic hardships. Wide implementation of wage cuts is hard because workers believe that not everyone will experience wage cuts.
So they will will fight against implementation of wage cuts.
In this scenario Campus Collective company has recently lost three large university clients that made up 40% of its total revenue. This has hit the company hard and management finds it necessary to reduce staff or wages.
Although employees are aware of the hardship they still fight against management on wage cuts because employees are also not sure if other people working their same jobs in the economy are getting reduced wages.

In April, one of the processing departments at Terada Corporation had beginning work in process inventory of $29,000 and ending work in process inventory of $35,000. During the month, $252,000 of costs were added to production and the cost of units transferred out from the department was $246,000. In the department's cost reconciliation report for April, the total cost to be accounted for under the weighted-average method would be:
Answer:
$281,000
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
Total Cost Under the Weighted Average Method = Cost of Unit Transferred Out from the Department + Ending Work in Process Inventory
= $246,000 + $35,000
= $281,000
According to the analysis, In April the total cost to be accounted under the weighted-average method is $281,000.
Hoi Chong Transport, Ltd., operates a fleet of delivery trucks in Singapore. The company has determined that if a truck is driven 126,000 kilometers during a year, the average operating cost is 13.3 cents per kilometer. If a truck is driven only 84,000 kilometers during a year, the average operating cost increases to 15.5 cents per kilometer. Required:1. Using the high-low method, estimate the variable operating cost per kilometer and the annual fixed operating cost associated with the fleet of trucks.2. Express the variable and fixed costs in the form Y = a + bX.3. If a truck were driven 105,000 kilometers during a year, what total operating cost would you expect to be incurred?
Answer:
Hoi Chong Transport, Ltd.
1. Using high-low method to estimate the variable operating cost per kilometer and the annual fixed operating cost:
High point 126,000Km, cost = $16,758 (13.3 cents x 126,000)
Low point 84,000km, cost = $13,020 (15.5 cents x 84,000)
Difference 42,000km, cost = $3,738
i) Variable Cost per km = $3,738/42,000 = $0.09
ii) Fixed cost using low point = $13,020 - (84,000 x $0.09) = $5,460
2. Variable and fixed costs in the form of Y = a + bX
where Y = total costs
a = fixed cost
b = variable cost
X = kilometers driven
Y = $5,460 + $0.09X
3. Total operating cost (Y), if truck were driven 105,000
Y = $5,460 + $0.09 x 105,000 = $14,910
Explanation:
The high-low method is a technique for determining the variable and fixed elements of total cost. The techniques uses the highest quantity with its total cost and the lowest quantity with its total cost. The resulting cost is the variable cost. Then the variable cost per unit is determined by dividing the cost with the quantity.
Then, the variable cost per unit is superimposed on the formula, Y = a + bX, where Y is the total cost, a is the fixed cost, b is the variable cost, and X is the quantity. Solving for a or fixed cost, gives a = Y - bX.
