What matters more to Larry and Megan?
The relative price of rice and beans
The overall inflation rate

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a.  

Inflation = (2017 price of basket - 2016 price of basket) / 2016 price of basket

2016 price of basket = 1 + 4 = $5

2017  price of basket = 2 + 8 = 10

Inflation

= (10 - 5) / 5

= 100%

Both Megan and Larry would be unaffected by the changes in prices because the prices doubled for both of them.

__________________________________________________________

b. Now suppose that in 2017 the price of beans was $2 and the price of rice was $4.80.  

Market basket in 2017 = 2 + 4.8 = $6.80  

Inflation

= (6.8 - 5) / 5

= 36%

Larry will be better off because the price of beans increased by 100% which is more than the inflation rate of 36%.

Megan's price increase = (4.8 - 4)/4 = 20%.

Inflation is 36%.

Megan will be worse off as inflation is higher than the increase in price of rice.

__________________________________________________________

c. Now suppose that in 2017, the price of beans was $2 and the price of rice was $1.60.  

Market Basket in 2017 = 2 + 1.6 = $3.60  

Inflation = (3.6 - 5)/5 = -28%

Larry will be better off because his prices have risen while general inflation has fallen.  

Megan's price decrease = ( 1.6 - 4)/4 = -60%. Inflation was -28%.

Megan will be worse off because inflation decreased less than her prices did.

__________________________________________________________

d. What matters more to Larry and Megan?

The relative price of rice and beans

This matters more to them because a change in prices of the commodities they sell could either benefit them or give them a loss regardless of the inflation rate.

Answers

Answer:

a. Michelle moves her food truck between various locations on a daily rotation. Last week, Michelle was stopped for speeding. She paid a fine of $215 for speeding plus $170 for legal advice in connection with the ticket.

Speeding tickets and fines cannot be deducted as business expenses. But Michelle can deduct all legal expenses.

b. Michelle paid $865 to reserve a parking place for her food truck for the fall football season outside the local football arena. Michelle also paid $210 for tickets to a game for her children.

Michelle can deduct the $865 paid for the space outside the football field, but she cannot deduct the tickets (personal expenses).

Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. More of Project A's cash flows occur in the later years. b. We must have information on the cost of capital in order to determine which project has the larger early cash flows. c. The crossover rate, i.e., the rate at which Projects A and B have the same NPV, is greater than either project's IRR. d. The NPV profile graph is inconsistent with the statement made in the problem. e. More of Project B's cash flows occur in the later years.

Answers

Answer: a. More of Project A's cash flows occur in the later years.

Explanation:

When a project has its cashflows occurring in later years, the NPV will be less because the discount rate would have a greater period to discount it in as opposed to cashflows that occur more recently which would receive less discounting from the discount rate.

As a result of Project A having more distant cashflows, the discount rate discounted its cash flows more which is why higher rates led to its NPV being zero because those higher rates got to discount it over a longer period.

9. Stabilization Suppose the US educational system improves, making workers more productive. If the federal reserve is trying to stabilize the price level in response, they should A. do nothing, because prices will not change anyhow. B. do nothing, because prices cannot be prevented from changing in the long run C. sell bonds in open market operations. D. lower the reserve requirement. E. increase the discount rate F. Raise taxes. G. Increase government spending.

Answers

Answer:

d

Explanation:

If workers become more productive, the supply curve shifts rightward. As a result prices would fall. In a bid to stabilise price, the federal reserve would conduct an expansionary monetary policy to increase money supply in the economy

Expansionary monetary policy : these are polices taken in order to increase money supply. When money supply increases, aggregate demand increases. reducing reserve requirement and open market purchase are ways of carrying out expansionary monetary policy

Increasing discount rate and selling bonds are examples of contractionary monetary policies. Contractionary monetary policy : these are policies taken to reduce money supply.

Raising tax is an example of contractionary fiscal policy

Increasing government spending is an example of expansionary fiscal policy

According to the theory of liquidity preferences, expanding the money supply will _____ nominal interest rates in the short run, and, according to the Fischer effect, expanding the money supply will _____ nominal interest rates in the long run. Group of answer choices increase; increase; increase; decrease decrease; increase decrease; decrease

Answers

Answer: decrease; increase

Explanation:

According to the Liquidity Preference theory, in the short run, increasing money supply will mean that there is more money in the economy which translates to more money for investment. This will lead to a decrease in interest rates as there are more sources of investment.

In the long run however, the Fischer effect shows interest will move with inflation. If money supply is expanded, it will lead to inflation in the long run because there will be more demand. This rise in inflation will cause interest rates to rise as well.

Answers

Answer:

$75

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what selling price will the company be indifferent between accepting and rejecting the special order

Using this formula

Selling price between accepting and rejecting the special order= ( Additional cost ÷ Units sold number) + Unit level Cost

Let plug in the formula

Selling price between accepting and rejecting the special order= ( $15,000 ÷ 500 ) + $45

Selling price between accepting and rejecting the special order= $30 + $45

Selling price between accepting and rejecting the special order= $75

Therefore The selling price that the company will be indifferent between accepting and rejecting the special order is $75

Direct labor 59,000

Factory overhead 37,000

Work in process inventory, April 1 40,000

Work in process inventory, April 30 40,000

To calculate the cost of goods manufactured, we need to use the following formula:

cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP

cost of goods manufactured= 40,000 + 48,000 + 59,000 + 37,000 - 40,000

Supposed that the daily wage for miners is $110 and that of the muckers is $90 per day. Find the long run cost function for US Iron & Steel Co. (x teams produce 10x tons of iron ore per day.)

Answers

Answer:

$200 to produce 10x ton of iron ore

Explanation:

The cost for one day to produce 10x tons of iron ore is calculated as follows.

1 miner and 1 mucker work together to make 10x ton of iron ore where,

1 miners wage = $110

1 mucker wage = $90

This makes a total of $200 to produce 10x ton of iron ore.

The costs in the long run will remain same because the wages are fixed if the wages are negotiable or varies then in the long run the cost function can differ.

c. Compare your answers in Requirement 1 and Requirement 2 and then record any necessary adjustment to write down inventory from cost to market value.
d. Discuss the financial statement effects of using lower-of-cost-or-market to report inventory.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the table doesn't show up correctly, the first dollar value is the Cost per Unit of the vehicle, while the second dollar value is the Market Cost per Vehicle.

a. If we compute the cost using the Cost per Unit then they would be the following.

Vans:   3 * $22,000 = $66,000Trucks: 6 * $17,000 = $102,0002-Door Sedans: 2 * $12,000 = $24,0004-Door Sedans: 7 * $16,000 = $112,000Sports Cars: 3 * $32,000 = $96,000SUV's: 5 * $28,000 = $140,000Total Inventory: $504,000

b. The "Lower-of-Cost-or-Market" basically states that whatever of the two prices is lower is ultimately the one that is recorded as the cost. Therefore, under this method the costs would be the following...(Purchase Cost or Market Cost)

Vans:   3 * $20,000 = $60,000 MarketTrucks: 6 * $16,000 = $96,000 Market2-Door Sedans: 2 * $12,000 = $24,000 Purchase Cost4-Door Sedans: 7 * $16,000 = $112,000 Purchase CostSports Cars: 3 * $32,000 = $96,000 Purchase CostSUV's: 5 * $23,000 = $115,000 MarketTotal Inventory: $504,000 Purchase Cost

c. There were only 3 changes made from from requirement 1 and 2 these were the changes in total cost...

Vans: $60,000 - $66,000 =  - $6000Trucks: $96,000 - $102,000 = - $6000SUV's: $115,000 - $140,000 = - $25,000

d. This allows companies to report losses at a much more reasonable and consistent way. Thus allowing profits to be more predictable.

a. Total inventory cost: $504,000

b. Total inventory at lower-of-cost-or-market: $503,000

c. Adjustment to write down inventory: -$37,000

d. Using lower-of-cost-or-market to report inventory allows for more realistic and conservative reporting, reflecting the decrease in market value.

a. If we compute the cost using the Cost per Unit then they would be the following.

Vans:   3 * $22,000 = $66,000

Trucks: 6 * $17,000 = $102,000

2-Door Sedans: 2 * $12,000 = $24,000

4-Door Sedans: 7 * $16,000 = $112,000

Sports Cars: 3 * $32,000 = $96,000

SUV's: 5 * $28,000 = $140,000

Total Inventory: $504,000

b. The "Lower-of-Cost-or-Market" basically states that whatever of the two prices is lower is ultimately the one that is recorded as the cost. Therefore, under this method the costs would be the following...(Purchase Cost or Market Cost)

Vans: 3 * $20,000 = $60,000 (reported at market)

Trucks: 6 * $16,000 = $96,000 (reported at market)

2-Door Sedans: 2 * $12,000 = $24,000 (reported at cost)

4-Door Sedans: 7 * $16,000 = $112,000 (reported at cost)

Sports Cars: 3 * $32,000 = $96,000 (reported at cost)

SUVs: 5 * $23,000 = $115,000 (reported at market)

Total for "Lower-of-Cost-or-Market" column: $60,000 + $96,000 + $24,000 + $112,000 + $96,000 + $115,000 = $503,000

c. The necessary adjustment to write down inventory from cost to market value is as follows:

Vans: -$6,000

Trucks: -$6,000

SUVs: -$25,000

d. Using the lower-of-cost-or-market method to report inventory allows companies to recognize and account for potential declines in the market value of their inventory.

By valuing inventory at the lower cost or market value, it ensures a conservative approach and provides a more accurate representation of the company's financial position.

This approach helps in reflecting the true economic value of inventory and potential losses associated with declines in market value.

g = salary growth rate = 6%, or 0.06

n = number of years = 40 years

Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:

FV = $1,740 * (((1 + 0.11)^40 - (1 + 0.06)^40) / (0.11 - 0.06))

FV = $1,740 * 1,094.30298736951

FV = $1,904,087.20

Therefore, the amount you will have on the date of your retirement 40 years from today is $1,904,087.20.

Chen Company's Small Motor Division manufactures a number of small motors used in household and office appliances. The Household Division of Chen then assembles and packages such items as blenders and juicers. Both divisions are free to buy and sell any of their components internally or externally. The following costs relate to small motor LN233 on a per unit basis.
Fixed cost per unit $5.20
Variable cost per unit $10.81
Selling price per unit $34.55
Assuming that the Small Motor Division has excess capacity, compute the minimum acceptable price for the transfer of small motor LN233 to the Household Division. (Round answer to 2 decimal places.)
Minimum transfer price $ per unit
Assuming that the Small Motor Division does not have excess capacity, compute the minimum acceptable price for the transfer of the small motor to the Household Division. (Round answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

1. If the small motor division has excess capacity,

Minimum transfer price = Variable cost + Opportunity cost

Variable cost per unit = $10.81

Add:

Opportunity cost per unit = $0.00 (Because the company has sufficient excess capacity)

Minimum transfer price = $10.81

2. If the small motor division has excess capacity,

Minimum transfer price = Variable cost + Opportunity cost

Variable cost per unit = $10.81

Add:

Opportunity cost per unit = $23.74 (As the company has no excess capacity, contribution lost is the opportunity cost)

Minimum transfer price = $34.55

N.B

Contribution lost = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit

= $34,55 - $10.8 = $23.74

Parent Co. purchased the entire business of Subsidiary Co. including all its assets and liabilities for $600,000. Below is information related to the two companies: Parent Subsidiary Fair value of assets $1,050,000 $800,000 Fair value of liabilities 575,000 300,000 Reported assets 800,000 650,000 Reported liabilities 500,000 250,000 Net Income for the year 60,000 50,000 How much goodwill did Parent pay for acquiring Subsidiary

Answers

Answer:

$100,000

Explanation:

Calculation of Net amount payable:

Net Amount Payable = Fair Value of asset - Fair Value of liabilities = $800,000 - $300,000 = $500,000

Calculation of Goodwill that Parent pays to Subsidiary:

Goodwill = Actually paid amount - Net amount payable = $600,000 - $500,000 = $100,000

Swifty Enterprises reported cost of goods sold for 2020 of $1,453,700 and retained earnings of $5,392,600 at December 31, 2020. Swifty later discovered that its ending inventories at December 31, 2019 and 2020, were overstated by $102,820 and $37,880, respectively. Determine the corrected amounts for 2020 cost of goods sold and December 31, 2020, retained earnings.

Answers

Answer:

Corrected cost of goods sold $1,388,760

Corrected retained earnings $5,354,720

Explanation:

First, we need to determine corrected cost of goods sold

Corrected cost of goods sold at December 31, 2020

= Beginning inventory - Purchases - Ending inventory

= $1,453,700 - [$102,820 - $37,880]

= $1,453,700 - $64,930

= $1,388,760

The December 31,2020 corrected retained earnings would be computed as;

= Ending retained earnings - Overstated ending inventories at December 31, 2020

= $5,392,600 - $37,880

= $5,354,720

Ronnie operates a lawn-care service. On each day, the cost of mowing the first lawn is $15, the cost of mowing the second lawn is $25, and the cost of mowing the third lawn is $40. His producer surplus on the first three lawns of the day is $100. If Ronnie charges all customers the same price for lawn mowing, that price is a. $20. b. $60. c. $80. d. $180.

Answers

Answer:

b. $60

Explanation:

Produced surplus = Price producer is able to sell - Price producer would be willing to sell

Price the producer is able to sell = Producer surplus + Price producer would be willing to sell

= $100 + ($15 + $25 + $40)

= $180 for 3 lawn

Therefore, if Ronnie charges are customers the same price for lawn mowing, that price is

= $180 / 3

= $60

Assume that a state government currently provides no child-care subsidies to working single parents, but it now wants to adopt a plan that will encourage labor force participation among single parents. Suppose that child-care costs are hourly, and suppose the government adopts a child-care subsidy that pays $3 per hour for each hour the parent works, up to 8 hours per day. Draw a current budget constraint (net of child-care costs) for an assumed single mother and then draw in the new constraint. Discuss the likely effects on labor force participation and hours of work.

Answers

Answer:

The line on the graph will be parallel to the pre-subsidy line and the new constraint will then be equal to the points connecting the two lines.

Explanation:

The subsidy by government to single parents is $3 per hour for up to 8 hours. The total of subsidy will be $16 for each day. The labor force who were not receiving the subsidy before had steep indifference curve but now few workers will find utility maximization with flatter indifference curve so the workers will join the subsidy program.

Capalbo Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on the estimated labor-hours for the upcoming year. At the beginning of the most recently completed year, the company estimated the laborhours for the upcoming year at 52,000 labor-hours. The estimated variable manufacturing overhead was $2.78 per labor-hour and the estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead was $1,192,360. The actual labor-hours for the year turned out to be 52,600 labor-hours. The predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year was closest to: A. $2.78. B. $25.45. C. $25.71. D. $22.93.

Answers

Answer:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $25.71 per direct labor hour

Explanation:

To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (1,192,360 / 52,000) + 2.78

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 22.93 + 2.78

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $25.71 per direct labor hour

Fossils can be molds, or imprints left from something buried. The actual structure decomposes, but the shape is left behind. A shell imprint in a rock is an example. Fossils can also be casts. Casts are molds that fill in over time. They show a three-dimensional shape of the structure that used to be there. A walnut mold that fills in with minerals is an example. Plants and animals can also be preserved when they are trapped in certain circumstances. Tar, ice and amber have all trapped animals for thousands of years. Amber comes from tree resin, or sap, which hardens. Insects from long ago have been found preserved in it. In California, tar pits preserved many animals, including a mastodon and a saber-toothed cat. What is the difference between a mold and a cast? A Molds are body fossils, and casts are trace fossils. B A mold is an imprint, and a cast is a filled-in imprint. C Molds are made of amber, and casts are made of tar. D Molds come from plants, and casts come from animals. Generating Win-Win SolutionsPurpose: In any interpersonal conflict, you have a choice. You can look for solutions in which one person wins, usually you, and one person loses, usually the other person (win-lose solutions). Or you can look for solutions in which you and the other person both win (win-win solutions). Although, win-win solutions are obviously the more desirable, people often fail to even consider if there are possible win-win solutions and what these might be. This exercise will help you in developing conflict management skills and how to resolve interpersonal differences.Directions: To get into the habit of looking for win-win solutions, consider the following conflict situations. For each situation, generate as many possible win-win solutions that you feel the individuals involved in the conflict could reasonably accept. Give yourself a few minutes for each case. Write down all win-win solutions that you think of; don't censor yourself. Please make sure to provide a response to the question at the end of the exercise.1. Pat and Mark plan to take a two week vacation in August. Pat wants to go to the shore and relax by the water. Mark wants to go the mountains, hiking and camping.2. Pat recently got a $3000 totally unexpected bonus. Pat wants to buy a new computer and printer to augment the office; Mark wants to take a much needed vacation.3. Pat leaves clothes all around the house and they sometimes sit there for days. Mark really hates this and they argue about it almost daily.4. Workers at the local bottling plant want a 20% raise to bring them into line with the salaries of similar workers at other plants. Management has repeatedly turned down their requests.From this experience it should be clear that win-win solutions exist for most conflict situations but not necessarily all. And, of course, some situations will allow for the easy generation of a lot more win-win solutions than others. Not all conflicts are equal.How might you incorporate win-win strategies into your own conflict management behavior?
