Units sold are anticipated as follows: Monthly Unit Sales 4,000 8,000 13,000 11,000 March April May June Total units 36,000 sold If seasonal production is used, it is assumed that inventory will directly match sales for each month and there will be no inventory buildup The production manager thinks the preceding assumption is too optimistic and decides to go with level production to avoid being out of merchandise. He will produce the 36,000 units over four months at a level of 9,000 per month.

Determine the difference in the present worth values of the following two commodity contracts at an interest rate of 8% per year. a. Contract 1 has a cost of $10,000 in year 1; costs will escalate at a rate of 4% per year for 10 years. b. Contract 2 has the same cost in year 1, but costs will escalate at 6% per years for 11 years
Answer:
$14,336
Explanation:
Calculation to Determine the difference in the present worth values
First step is to calculate Contract 1 present worth values
Contract 1 present worth values = 10,000{1 – [(1 + 0.04)/(1 + 0.08)]^10}/(0.08 – 0.04)
Contract 1 present worth values = 10,000{1 – [(1.04)/(1 .08)]^10}/( 0.04)
Contract 1 present worth values = $78,590
Second step is to Contract 2 present worth values
Contract 2 present worth values
= 10,000{1 – [(1 +0.06)/(1 +0.08)]^11}/(0.08 – 0.06)=
Contract 2 present worth values
= 10,000{1 – [(1 .06)/(1 .08)]^11}/( 0.02)
Contract 2 present worth values = $92,926
Now let calculate the difference in the present worth values
Present worth values Difference =$92,926-$78,590
Present worth values Difference =$14,336
Therefore the difference in the present worth values will be $14,336

Typical of price ceilings, the ancient Indian political philosopher known as Kautilya advocated controls to protect against merchant greed, fixing a profit of 5% over the fixed price of local commodities, including textiles. If severe weather were to render the textile market more uncertain (e.g., if transportation routes were damaged), what would reasonably happen
Answer:
Fewer merchants would be willing to supply textiles.
Explanation:
Price ceilings are the maximum price that is set for commodities in a particular market by the government. It is aimed at protecting buyers from excessive price exploitation by sellers.
In the given scenario the price of commodities was set at 5% above fixed price of local communities. This means sellers can make a maximum of 5% on any sale.
However severe weather rendered the textile market more uncertain.
The result will be that sellers will be less willing to provide commodities as they are not able to push the added cost to the buyer.
Bi-Lo Traders is considering a project that will produce sales of $44,800 and have costs of $25,700. Taxes will be $4,500 and the depreciation expense will be $2,650. An initial cash outlay of $2,100 is required for net working capital. What is the project's operating cash flow?
Answer:
$10,700
Explanation:
Operating cash flow is computed as;
= Net income + non cash expenses - outlay in working capital
First, we'll determine the net income
Net income = Sales $44,800 - cost $27,500 depreciation expense $2,650 - Taxes $4,500
Net income = $10,150
Operating cash flow = $10,150 + $2,650 - $2,100 = $10,700
Suppose the current price of a good is $130. At this price, the quantity supplied is 125 units, and the quantity demanded is 165 units. For every $1 increase in price, the quantity supplied increases by 2 units and the quantity demanded decreases by 2 units.At the current price, the quantity demanded isgreater than the quantity supplied. This means that the market is currently experiencing ashortage . In order to adjust, the market price willincrease until the quantity demanded and quantity supplied are equal. The result is an equilibrium quantity of ________ and an equilibrium price of ________
Answer:
Equilibrium quantity: 145
Equilibrium price: $140
Explanation:
In order to find the answer, first we determine the current difference between quantity supplied and quantity demanded.
Quantity supplied - quantity demanded = difference
125 - 165 = -40
So we have a shortage of -40 units.
We have the information that a $1 increase in price increases supply by 2, and decreases demand by 2. Thus, in order to close the shortage, we need a $10 price increase, because this will raise supply by 20 units, and lower demand by 20 units as well, bringing the 40 gap to 0.
For this reason, the equilibrium quantity is 145 units, and the equilibrium price is $140.

Imagine you have $25.00. Your best friend’s birthday is coming up, and you’d like to get them a gift. You’ve also been wanting to buy a new backpack since your current one has some holes in it. What do you decide to d with $25.00 and Why
Answer:
buy a new backpack because you need it more
Explanation:
If I had $25.00 and my best friend's birthday was coming up while I also needed a new backpack, I would first prioritize my friend's gift since it's time-sensitive. I would allocate around $15.00 for the gift, leaving me with $10.00 for the backpack.
What is a military-style backpack?Military backpacks are designed to carry all necessary materials for protracted periods of time. Assault packs are typically designed for shorter-duration or even day missions. Assault packs only hold about 20L, compared to a military backpack's capacity of 96L. Throughout the day, they are significantly more compact, lightweight, and portable.
For my friend's gift, I would consider their interests and what they might appreciate. I could buy a small but thoughtful gift such as a personalized card or a small decorative item. Alternatively, I could get something related to their hobbies, such as a book, a piece of jewelry, or a small gadget that they might enjoy.
With the remaining $10.00, I would look for a simple but durable backpack that fits my needs. I would try to find a sale or a clearance item to stretch my budget further.

In the current year, Mitchell Manufacturing expected Job No. 13 to cost $600,000 of overhead, $650,000 of materials, and $400,000 of labor. Mitchell applied overhead based on direct labor cost. Actual production required an overhead cost of $420,000, $750,000 of materials used, and $300,000 of labor. All of the goods were completed. What amount was transferred from Work-In Process to Finished Goods?A. $1,500,000. B. $1,470,000. C. $1,650,000. D. $1,670,000.
Answer:
A. $1,500,000
Explanation:
The overhead is applied on the basis of the direct labor cost
Overhead allocation rate = $600,000/$400,000 = 1.5 times
Materials used
$750,000
Labor cost
$300,000
Prime cost
$1,050,000
Overhead ( direct labor cost × 1.5) = $300,000 × 1.5 = $450,000
The amount of transferred finished goods from WIP is $1500,000 I.e prime (cost $1,050,000 + overhead $450,000)

Although New York State is second only to Washington State in production of​ apples, its production has been declining during the past 20 years. The decline has been particularly steep in counties close to New York City. In​ 1985, there were more than​ 11,000 acres of apple orchards in Ulster​ County, which is 75 miles north of New York City.​ Today, only about​ 6,000 acres remain. As it became difficult for apple growers in the county to compete with​ lower-cost producers​ elsewhere, the resources these entrepreneurs were using to produce applesparticularly landbecame more valuable in other uses. Many farmers sold their land to housing developers. Suppose a revolutionary new diet is developed that involves eating 10 apples per​ day, and the new diet becomes wildly popular. ​Source: Lisa W.​ Foderaro, "Plenty of​ Apples, but a Possible Shortage of Immigrant​ Pickers," New York Times​, August​ 21, 2007. Because of the popularity of the​ diet, the number of apple orchards within 100 miles of New York City will likely increase decrease .
What effect is the new diet likely to have on the number of apple orchards within 100 miles of New York City? What effect is the diet likely to have on housing prices in New York City?
Answer:
1. Increase in number of orchards
2. Increase in housing prices
Explanation:
1. What effect is the new diet likely to have on the number of apple orchards within 100 miles of New York City?
There is going to be increased demand for apples due to this new diet and this increase in demand is going to bring about a hike in the price for apples. This price increase would make business to be viable for these apple farmers. More people would want to own orchards just to make money out of the boom in apples. Because apple farming now seems to be more profitable than other activities. So this would cause the number of apple orchards that are within 100 miles of new york city to increase.
2. What effect is the diet likely to have on housing prices in New York City?
There would be an increase in housing prices in New york city as farmers would rather be planting apples on these lands instead of sellng them to developers for building houses. There would be a decrease in the supply of housing in New york.You want to buy a new sports coupe for $91,500, and the finance office at the dealership has quoted you an APR of 7.3 percent for a 72 month loan to buy the car. a.

Brody Corp uses a process costing system in which direct materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. Beginning inventory for January consisted of 1,300 units that were 40% completed. 13,000 units were started into the process during January. On January 31, the inventory consisted of 650 units that were 70% completed. What would be the equivalent units for conversion cost using the weighted average method?a. 13,000b. 13,585c. 14,105d. 14,300
Answer:
14,105
Explanation:
Calculation for What would be the equivalent units for conversion cost using the weighted average method
Equivalent units for conversion cost=[(1,300 + 13,000 - 650 )×100%]+ (650 × 70%)
Equivalent units for conversion cost=(13,650 × 100%) + (650 × 70%)
Equivalent units for conversion cost=13,650+455
Equivalent units for conversion cost= 14,105
Therefore What would be the equivalent units for conversion cost using the weighted average method will be 14,105
