Answer:
6.12 times
Explanation:
Cost of Goods Sold = $84,000 + $660,000 - $120,000
Cost of Goods Sold = $624,000
Average inventory = ($84,000 + $120,000) / 2
Average inventory = $102,000
Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold / Average inventory
Inventory Turnover = $624,000 / $102,000
Inventory Turnover = 6.117647059
Inventory Turnover = 6.12 times
Poorer developing countries which often produce and export primary commodities tend to face unfair _____________________ in relationship to rich countries that produce manufactured (capital) goods. Question 15 options:
Answer:
Poorer developing countries which often produce and export primary commodities tend to face unfair _______exchange values______________ in relationship to rich countries that produce manufactured (capital) goods.
Explanation:
Unfair exchange value means that rich countries that use the primary commodities of poorer developing countries to produce manufactured goods, especially capital goods, sell the manufactured goods at values that are not real or too exorbitant. This practice contributes to the unfairness of international trade. It also means that the prices at which the primary commodities are bought form the poorer countries are too low when compared with the prices of the manufactured capital goods sold by rich countries to poorer countries.
A company just starting business made the following four inventory purchases in June:
June 1 150 units $ 390

A physical count of merchandise inventory on June 30 reveals that there are 250 units on hand. Using the FIFO inventory method, the amount allocated to cost of goods sold for June is:________
a. $683.
b. $825.
c. $1,290.
d. $1,432.
Answer:
c. $1,290
Explanation:
FIFO assumes that the units to arrive first are the first to be sold. This means that the cost of sales is based earlier prices.
Step 1 : Units Sold
Units Sold =Units available for sale - Units in Inventory
= 700 - 250
= 450
Step 2 : Cost of Sales
Cost of Sales = $390 + $585 + 100/200 x $630
= $390 + $585 + $315
= $1,290
Using the FIFO inventory method, the amount allocated to cost of goods sold for June is $1,290
A 30-year $185,000 amortized mortgage loan has a fixed interest rate of 4.375% and fixed monthly payments. The monthly payment is $923.68. The beginning balance of the loan in the 30th month is $177,391.93. Calculate the ending balance of the loan at the end of the 30th month after this month's payment.
Answer:
$177,114.99
Explanation:
The ending balance of the loan at the end of the 30th month after the monthly payment is the beginning balance at the beginning of the month plus the interest for the month minus the monthly payment.
Note that the interest expense for the month increases the loan balance while the monthly payment reduces the balance.
interest expense for 30th month=beginning balance*fixed interest rate/2
interest expense for 30th month=$177,391.93*4.375%/12
interest expense for 30th month=$646.74
monthly payment =$923.68
The ending balance of the loan=$177,391.93+$646.74-$923.68
The ending balance of the loan=$177,114.99

Match each of the following definitions of costs to the cost classifications.
1. This cost is the combined amount of all the other costs.
2. This cost remains constant over a limited range of volume; when it reaches the end of its limited range, it changes by a lump sum and remains at that level until it exceeds another limited range.
3. This cost has a component that remains the same over all volume levels and another component that increases in direct proportion to increases in volume.
4. This cost increases when volume increases, but the increase is not constant for each unit produced.
5. This cost remains constant over all volume levels within the productive capacity for the planning period.
6. This cost increases in direct proportion to increases in volume; its amount is constant for each unit produced.
Answer:
1. This cost is the combined amount of all the other costs. ⇒ TOTAL COST.
2. This cost remains constant over a limited range of volume; when it reaches the end of its limited range, it changes by a lump sum and remains at that level until it exceeds another limited range. ⇒ STEP-WISE COST.
3. This cost has a component that remains the same over all volume levels and another component that increases in direct proportion to increases in volume. ⇒ MIXED COST
4. This cost increases when volume increases, but the increase is not constant for each unit produced. ⇒ CURVELINEAR COST.
5. This cost remains constant over all volume levels within the productive capacity for the planning period.⇒ FIXED COST.
6. This cost increases in direct proportion to increases in volume; its amount is constant for each unit produced. ⇒ VARIABLE COST.
How does the current organizational and operational structure, including the system of corporate governance, benefit the firm
Answer:
The organizational and operational structure of a company must be aligned with the core values and objectives of the business, as it impacts and determines the relationships and culture in the organizational environment.
Therefore, when there is an organizational structure where the hierarchical positions and the decision-making system match the way the company operates in the market, it is correct to say that such organization has a culture that enables its development and the correct progress of the business. Combined with corporate governance, which is a system of inspection, control and incentive to interested parties, the company will benefit from being well structured, positioned and oriented to achieve quality and continuous process improvement.
Consider using income approach to compute US GDP. Suppose there is a Mexican citizen working at a US firrm located in US, and earned wages of $500. There is also a US citizen that earns wages of $800 in a Mexican firm located in Mexico. If US GNP is $3000, what is US GDP?
Answer:
According to the information in the text, the US GDP would be $500, because GDP only accounts for all the goods and services produced within the country, or under the income approach, for all the forms of income (rent, dividends, wages) earned by nationals or foreigners in domestic soil.
In this case, the Mexican citizen working in the US and earning $500 adds the same amount to US GDP of that year regardless of his nationality.
Suppose you invest every quarter, for 20 years, in an annuity that pays 5% interest, compounded quarterly. At the end of the 20 years, you have $100,000. How much of this total is interest
Answer: $41,228
Explanation:
The first step is to determine the amount that was being invested, in other words, the annuity.
First find the future value of annuity factor:
= 1 * Future value of annuity formula
= 1 * ( ( 1 + rate)^ number of periods) - 1) / rate
Rate = 5% / 4 = 1.25%
Number of periods = 20 * 4 quarters = 80 quarters
Annuity factor = 1 * ( ( 1 + 1.25%) ⁸⁰ - 1) / 1.25%
= 136.118795
The annuity is:
Future value of annuity = Annuity * Future value of annuity factor, 80 years, 1.25%
100,000 = Annuity * 136.118795
Annuity = 100,000 / 136.118795
= $734.65
The interest is:
= Future value of annuity - (Annuity * number of periods)
= 100,000 - (734.65 * 80)
= $41,228
A company has an overhead application rate of 124% of direct labor costs. How much overhead would be allocated to a job if it required total labor costing $24,000?
Answer:
$29,760
Explanation:
Overhead application rate = 124% of direct labor cost
The required total labor costing = $24,000
Total overhead applied = Overhead application rate * $24,000
Total overhead applied = 124% * $24000
Total overhead applied = $29,760
Suppose that $1 lottery tickets have the following probabilities and values: 1 in 5 to win a free ticket (worth $1), 1 in 100 to win $5, 1 in 100,000 to win $1000, and 1 in 10 million to win $1 million. What is the expected value of a lottery ticket to the consumer
Answer:
$0.36
Explanation:
Expected value of the lottery ticket = (p1 x a1) + (p2 x a2) + (p3 x a3) + (p4 x a4)
p1 = probability of winning $1 = 1/5 = 0.2
a1 = $1
p2 = probability of winning $5 = 1/100 = 0.01
a2 = $5
p3 = probability of winning $1000 = 1/100,000 = 0.00001
a3 = $1000
p4 = probability of winning $1 million = 1/10,000,000 = 0.0000001
a4 = $1 million
(0.2 x 1) + (0.01 x 5) + (0.00001 x 1000) + (1,000,000 x 0.00001) = $0.36
According to the authors, price controls on water, designed to ensure that lower income people can afford water, have resulted in
Answer: a. a reduced supply of usable water
Explanation:
I am unsure as to the text being referred to but this should be the correct answer.
The market allocates resources efficiently based on price. This means that it sets the price such that people who can afford the goods are able to buy them. This ensures that not everybody gets the good and the good can be sustainably used.
If the government imposes price controls on a good as they did here. The market would be unable to efficiently allocate the water so more people than before would be able to access it. This would lead to the supply being used up so there will be a reduced supply of the good which in this case is water.
1. Sharon, a newly engaged woman, saw an advertisement in a bridal magazine for a beautiful pearl necklace priced at $69.99 from Precious Jewelry. She thought the necklace would be a wonderful present for her bridesmaids, so she ordered 5 necklaces from Precious Jewelry. After a few weeks, Sharon received a letter, along with her returned check from Precious Jewelry. The letter stated that the jeweler was sorry they could not fill her order because they had been overwhelmed with so many requests that their supply of necklaces ran out very quickly
Question Completion:
a. List the 3 elements of an offer and describe each (in your own words).
b. Did Precious Jewelry make an offer when they placed the ad in the magazine? Did Sharon make an offer when she placed the order? Why or why not?
c. What will be the likely outcome if Sharon sues Precious Jewelry to force them to fill her order? Explain your answer.
Answer:
a. The three elements of a valid offer are Communication, Commitment, and Definite Terms. Communication of an offer should be between the offeror and the offeree and not with the general public. Commitment in an offer requires that the two parties are identified and are committed to the exchange of offer and acceptance. Definite terms means that the terms of the offer must be clear and well-understood by the involved parties.
b. Precious Jewelry did not make an offer when it placed the ad in the magazine. The ad was an invitation to offer. Sharon was the party that made the offer when she ordered for the jewelries. It was then left for Precious Jewelry to accept or reject the offer.
c. If Sharon sues Precious Jewelry to force them to fill her order, she does not have the locus standi because there is no basis for the existence of a contract between Sharon and Precious Jewelry since Sharon's offer was not accepted by Precious Jewelry and there was no consideration.
Explanation:
For a valid contract to exist between Sharon and Precious Jewelry, the five elements of a contract must be present. They include valid offer, acceptance, mutual consent (or assent), consideration, and legality (including capacity).
When using the Time-Cost Critical Path Method (CPM) Scheduling Model to "crash" a project, you know when you have arrived at the optimal solution when _____.
a) You have found the critical path
b) You have run out of crash time
c) You no longer have a linear relationship with costs
d) You have reached the minimum total cost
e) You have run out of crash costs
Answer:
a) You have found the critical path
Explanation:
The Time Cost Critical Path Method(CPM) in project management works by adding up/calculating duration of all tasks/activities in the project in order to find the longest time possible to complete the project. It is a method to estimate project duration using a flow chart that shows a network of tasks and estimated duration(start and finish times). The critical path is reached when project time is at the maximum/longest time of completion.

The price elasticity of demand for a good is likely to be elastic __________.
A. the budget share spent on the good.
B. the number of close substitutes for the good.
C. the available time during which consumers can adjust.
D. all of the above.
Answer:
The price elasticity of demand for a good is likely to be elastic :
A. the greater the proportion of budget share spent on the good.
B. the greater the number of close substitutes for the good.
C. the longer the available time during which consumers can adjust.
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.
Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases
Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.
Price is more elastic in the long run than in the short run because consumers have more time to search for suitable alternatives
The more close substitutes a good has, the more elastic its demand. This is because if price is increased, consumers can easily shift to the consumption of an alternative product
the greater the proportion of budget share spent on the good, the more elastic the demand for the good
) An organization that evaluates the performance of automobiles wants to predict the performance of used cars (cars that are more than one year old). The objective is to predict COST, the maintenance cost (in dollars) of used cars for the first year after they are purchased by a new owner. The explanatory variable is:
Answer:
The explanatory variable is:
period of usage.
Explanation:
As the explanatory variable, the period of usage of the car does not depend on the maintenance cost or its performance. Instead, the maintenance cost and the performance of the automobile, which are response or dependent variables, depend on the period of usage. Period of usage (time) is always an independent or explanatory variable. In this organization, the performance of the automobile does not depend on the maintenance cost, but the two dependent variables (performance and maintenance cost) depend on the period of usage.
January 400 $ 31,000 February 800 $ 37,000 March 1,600 $ 49,000 April 2,400 $ 61,000 Using the high-low method, the estimated total fixed cost is
Answer:
$25,000
Explanation:
The computation of the estimated total fixed cost is shown below:
But before that the variable cost per unit is
= ($61,000 - $31,000) ÷ (2,400 - 400)
= $30,000 ÷ 2,000
= $15
Now the estimated fixed cost is
= $61,000 - $15 × 2,400
= $61,000 - $36,000
= $25,000

Ending Work in Process inventory:
Physical units 4000
% complete for materials 40%
% complete for conversion costs 10%
Manufacturing costs for June:
Materials 96975
Conversion costs 79470
Compute equivalent units for direct materials for June.
Answer:
the equivalent units for direct material is 43,100 units
Explanation:
The computation of the equivalent units for direct material is shown below:
= Ending work in process units + units started and completed + opening work in process units
= 40% of 4,000 units + (44,000 - 4,000) + 30% of 5,000
= 1,600 units + 40,000 units + 1,500 units
= 43,100 units
hence, the equivalent units for direct material is 43,100 units

Answer:
"Correct Correct" is the right answer.
Explanation:
Overall inventory will be calculated by means including its physical computing mechanism at either the conclusion of each accountability conscious cognitive mostly on periodical inventory or purchasing department.Excessive conclusion or termination creates excessive starting inventory thresholds or their levels.When an organization assigns a new employee a mentor and takes an employee out to lunch to meet other members of the organization during their first week on the job, this would most strongly be an example of:
Answer:
Connection.
Explanation:
An employee can be defined as an individual who is employed by an employer of labor to perform specific tasks, duties or functions in an organization.
Basically, an employee is saddled with the responsibility of providing specific services to the organization or company where he is currently employed while being paid a certain amount of money hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly depending on the contractual agreement between the two parties (employer and employee).
Generally, when a new employee working for an organization is assigned a mentor and given the opportunity to go out on a lunch to meet other members working in the organization during their first week on the job, this would most strongly be an example of connection.
Connection simply means creating a favorable and mutually beneficial meetings between two or more individuals such as the employees working in an organization. Thus, it avails the employees the opportunity to socialize and know each other better while stimulating a good work relationship.

Douglas owns rental property that he bought several years ago for $250,000. He has taken depreciation on the house in the amount of $35,000 since buying it. He sells it in 2020 for $290,000. His selling expenses are $12,000 for the year. What was Bob's realized gain on the sale?
a. $77,000.
b. $63,000.
c. $18,000.
d. $53,000.
Answer:
Gain= $63,000
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the book value:
Book value= purchase price - accumulated depreciation
Book value= 250,000 - 35,000
Book value= 215,000
Now, the gain or loss from the sale:
Gain/loss= selling price - book value - selling expense
Gain/loss= 290,000 - 215,000 - 12,000
Gain= $63,000
