Janet enjoys eating jelly sandwiches and drinking milk. She is particular about proportions, though: For every jelly sandwich she eats, she must drink exactly one glass of milk, and vice versa. Janet can purchase the jelly for her sandwiches in two jar sizes: 20 ounces and 40 ounces. Janet cares only about the total amount of jelly she has available and not at all about the jar size. In other words, she's just as happy with two 20-ounce jars as she is with one 40-ounce jar.
In this scenario, jelly sandwiches and glasses of soda are:___________
a. perfect complements
b. perfect substitutes
c. neither complements or susitutes)

Answers

The correct answer is A. Perfect complements

Explanation:

Janet eats jelly sandwiches and milk together; in this context, jelly and milk are complements because these are consumed together. Indeed, every time Janet consumes jelly she consumes milk. Moreover, these are perfect complements because the demand and consumption of both increases or decreases together proportionally. This is because if Janet eats 2 sandwiches this also duplicates the amount of milk she consumes (two glasses of milk). In the same way, this affects the demand for jelly and milk because if Janet drinks more milk she will need to buy more jelly.

If a particular good or product is consumed togetherly is said to be the perfect counterpart. Economically also the consumer uses products in a fixed proportion like cereal and milk are the perfect complementary example.

The correct answer is:

Option A. perfect complements

This can be explained as:

Jelly and milk are paired as they both are utilised togetherly in a combination.

Whenever Janet will eat jelly she will drink milk too.

The demand is proportionate to each other as jelly in the sandwich will be eaten whenever she will have milk and vice versa.

Therefore, this scenario shows perfect complements.

a. What is the total cash outflow for buying and for leasing a motor vehicle with a cash price of $33,000

Answers

Answer:

For buying = $32,640

For leasing = $31,800

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

For buying

Total cash outflow = Down payment + Loan repayment - Value of vehicle at the end of loan

= $5,600 + (780 × 48) - $10,400

= $32,640

For Leasing

Total cash outflow = Down payment + Loan repayment - Value of vehicle at the end of loan

= $2,000 + (600 × 48) - $1,000

= $31,800

In respect to organizational structure and decision making, a "Flat Structure" is best characterized as:___________
a) A management structure characterized by an overall narrow span of management, a relatively large number of hierarchical levels, tight control, and reduced communication overhead. Decision-making can be quite rapid, if it occurs from the top down.
b) A management structure characterized by a wide span of control and relatively few hierarchical levels, loose control, and ease of delegation. Decision-making is often slower, as it involves a high degree of integration across the company.
c) The location of decision making authority near top organizational levels.

Answers

Answer:

A management structure characterized by a wide span of control and relatively few hierarchical levels, loose control, and ease of delegation. Decision-making is often slower, as it involves a high degree of integration across the company.

Explanation:

A flat structure in organisations are characteristized by few or no levels of management between the top management and employees.

This results in less supervision of employees (that is less control). Staff have a higher control over their jobs and have some freedom on how they execute tasks.

Employees are also more involved in decision making. Although there needs to be integrated or involve a large number of people agreeing.

So decision making is relatively slow.

Apply What You’ve Learned - Managing Credit Cards and ConsumerLoans

Answers

Answer:

1) In general, is it a good idea to make only minimum payments on your credit cards?

No, the small payment requirement is mathematically guaranteed to keep you in debt for many years.

All you have to do is analyze the interest rates charged by the credit card companies and it is really difficult for any investment to match those interest rates.

2) Assuming you have $1,500 in your budget this month with which to pay down your credit cards, how much should you pay on each card?

I would start with the cards that charge the highest interest rates. I would pay the full balance of the department store card and the gasoline card = $600 + $300 = $900

Since I have $600 left, I would then pay the minimum payments for the cards that charge the least interest rates. I would pay $40 to Discover card and $60 to VISA.

The remaining $500 would be used to pay MasterCard 1 card and lower its balance.

You are in the business of producing and selling snow shovels, and you need to determine how many shovels should be produced during each of the next four quarters to meet the following demands: 11,000 shovels in quarter 1; 48,000 shovels in quarter 2; 64,000 shovels in quarter 3; and 15,000 shovels in quarter 4.

Due to labor limitations, at most 65,000 shovels can be produced in any one quarter at a cost of $5/shovel. Additionally, a fixed cost of $30,000 must be paid for any quarter in which shovels are produced. You may assume that any shovels produced during a quarter can be used to satisfy demand for that quarter. At the end of the quarter, a holding cost of $0.50 per shovel in inventory is incurred. Currently, you have no shovels in inventory.

Required:
Formulate an integer-linear program to determine a production schedule that minimizes the sum of production and inventory costs over the next four quarters.

Answers

Answer:

Quarter Production

Q1 11000

Q2 62000

Q3 65000

Q4 0

This will generate lower production and inventory cost as it savesthe fixed cost of 30,000 if we produce in the fourth quarter.

Explanation:

First, we construct the formula for the relevant cost:

Holding Cost: $0.50 per shovel

$0.50 x 2 x (Q2-48,000) + $0.50 x (Q1-11,000) = Holding Cost Q2

$0.50 x 1 x (Q3-64,000) = Holding Cost Q3

First, the restrictions:

P1 P2 P3 P4 are Integer

P1  < 65,000

P2 < 65,000

P3 < 65,000

P4 < 65,000

Then, we have the inventory formulas:

I1  = P1 - S1

I2 = P2 + I1  -S2

I3 = P3 + I2 - S3

I4 = P4 + I3 - S4

The holding cost

H1  = I1  x 0.50

H2 = I2 x 0.50

H3 = I3 x 0.50

H4 = I4 x 0.50

The fixed cost

if P1> 0 then FC1 = 30,000

if P2> 0 then FC2 = 30,000

if P3> 0 then FC3 = 30,000

if P4> 0 then FC4 = 30,000

And last,the total cost:

FC1 + H1 +FC2 + H2 +FC3 + H3 +FC4 + H4 = Total Cost

This is the formula we want to minimize

Analyzing Unearned Revenue Disclosures
The following disclosures (excerpted) are from the August 28, 2016, annual report of Costco Wholesale Corporation.
Revenue Recognition: We generally recognize sales, net of estimated returns, at the time the member takes possession of merchandise or receives services. When we collect payment from customers prior to the transfer of ownership of merchandise or the performance of services, the amount recieved is generally recorded as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets until the sales or service is completed. Membership fee revenue represents annual membership fees paid by our memberships.

When it receives cash, the company records it as a current liability. Then, it recognizes revenue evenly over the year.
The company records revenue when the cash is received.
Because Costco has a refund policy, the company records revenue when the cash is received, less an allowance for expected membership terminations.

Answer:

(a) Which of the following statements best explains in layman terms how Costco accounts for the cash received for its membership fees?

When it receives cash, the company records it as a current liability. Then, it recognizes revenue evenly over the year.

(b) Use the balance sheet information on Costco's Deferred Membership Fees liability account and its income statement revenues related to Membership Fees earned during 2016 to compute the cash that Costco received during 2016 for membership fees.

beginning membership fees + cash received - membership fee revenue = ending membership fee balance

$1,269 + cash received - $2,646 = $1,362

cash received = $1,362 + $2,646 - $1,269 = $2,739 million

(c) Use the financial statement effects template to show the effect of the cash Costco received during 2016 for membership fees and the recognition of membership fees revenue for 2016.

Use negative signs with answers, when appropriate.

Balance Sheet

Cash Asset + Noncash Assets = Liabilities + Contributed Capital + Earned Capital

Receive cash in advance for membership fees ⇒ $2,739 + na = $2,739 + na + na

Recognized membership fees earned ⇒ na + na = -$2,646 + na + $2,646

Answers

Answer: Check explanation

Explanation:

a. Sales tax payable

Amount = $120,000 × 5%

= $120,000 × 0.05

= $6000

b. Notes payable, short term

Amount = $85000

Interest payable = $85000 × 4% × 4/12

= $1133.3

c. Unearned revenue

Amount: $2400 × 2/6

= $800

d. Accrued Warranty Payable

Amount = $11600 + $34000 - $34800

= $10800

e. Current portion of long term note payable

Amount = $35,000

Interest payable

Amount = $70000 × 12%

On January 1, 2020 Herald acquires 100% of Tribune and will operate Tribune as a wholly owned subsidiary. Herald's purchase price was less than the fair value of the net assets of Tribune. How is this handled

Answers

Answer:

When the purchase price is lower than the fair market value, accountants generally refer to this as negative goodwill. All negative goodwill must be reported as a gain.  

Another way to refer to this type of situation is a bargain purchase (lower price than FMV).

The following expenditures were incurred by Tamarisk, Inc. in purchasing land: cash price $74,000, accrued taxes $4,400, attorneys’ fees $4,300, real estate broker’s commission $1,500, and clearing and grading $3,600. What is the cost of the land?

Answers

Answer:

$87,800

Explanation:

The following expenditures were incurred by Tamerisk incorporation when purchasing a land

Cash price = $74,000

Accured taxes = $4,400

Attorneys fee= $4,300

Real estate brokers commission = $1,500

Clearing and grading = $3,600

Therefore the cost of the land can be calculated as follows

= $74,000 + $4,400 + $4,300 + $1,500 + $3,600

= $87,800

Hence the cost of the land is $87,800

Consider an economy described by the following equations:

Y=C+I+G
C=120+0.8×(Y−T)
I=500−50×r G=150
T=125

where Y is GDP, C is consumption, I is investment, G is government purchases, T is taxes, and r is the interest rate. If the economy were at full employment (that is, at the natural rate of output), GDP would be $2,850.

Identify the equation(s) each of the following statements describes.

a. It is a function of disposable income.
b. It depends on the interest rate.

The marginal propensity to consume in this economy is:____________ .

Suppose the central bank's policy is to adjust the money supply to maintain the interest rate at 3%, so r = 3. When the interest rate is 3%, GDP is __________$ .

GDP at an interest rate of 3% is the full-employment level.
a. True
b. False

Assuming no change in monetary policy, (a decrease, an increase) in government purchases by ____ would restore GDP to the full-employment level. (Note: Assume that such change in fiscal policy has no crowding-out effect.) Assuming no change in fiscal policy, (a decrease. an increase) in the interest rate by ___ would restore GDP to the full-employment level.

Answers

Answer:

Consumption c is a function of disposable income

Investment I is a function of interest rate

Marginal propensity to consume equals 0.8

If this 3, I = investment

= 500-(3*50)

= 500-150

= 350

We have Y= C+I+G

Y = 120+0.8(Y-125)+350+150

Y = 120+0.8Y-100+350+150

Y-0.8Y = 120-100+350+150

0.2Y = 520

Y = 520/0.2

Y = 2600

GDP and interest rate falls below full employment

If there is no change in monetary policy an increase in government purchases by 50dollars takes gdp back to full employment

If no change in fiscal policy when interest rate decreases by 1.4% God goes back to full employment.

Sara purchased a life insurance policy as an investment from her neighbor, Angela. Angela, the original policy holder had paid premiums of $12,000 before the sale. Sara paid Angela $16,500 to acquire the life insurance policy. Sara made additional payments of $5,000. When Angela died, Sara collected $50,000. How much of the policy proceeds is taxable to Sara

Answers

Answer:

$16,500

Explanation:

She invested = $12,000

Total money spent to acquire the policy = ($16,500 + $5000) = $21,500

Total money invested on policy = $21500 + $12000

Total money invested on policy = $33500

Money that sara got after angela died = $50,000

Therefore, the taxable proceed will be = $50,000 - $33,500 = $16,500

The Pritzker Music Pavilion in downtown Chicago is a technologically sophisticated and uniquely designed performing arts venue that hosts live concerts attended by over half a million patrons a year. A group of local organizers, led by a prominent local businesswoman, would like to use the pavilion for a concert to benefit a non-profit, national network of investors and environmental organizations working with companies and investors to address sustainability challenges such as global climate change. If the pavilion management agrees to host the concert, the organizers will donate all profits to Ceres (or absorb any losses).

Based on the following revenue and cost information, the organizers would like answers to several questions.

1. There are three sources of revenue for the concert:
2. Tickets will be sold for $15.50 each.
3. A large multinational corporation headquartered in Chicago will donate $2.00 per ticket sold.
4. Each concert attendee is expected to spend an average of $17.00 for parking, food, and merchandise.
5. On the expense side, there are also three components:

A popular national group has agreed to perform at the concert. Normally, the group demands a significant fixed fee to perform, but to reduce the risk for the organizers, the group has agreed to perform for $6.00 per ticket sold. The organizers will pay several companies to operate the parking, food, and merchandise concessions. They will pay $21,000 plus 15% of all parking, food, and merchandise revenue. The organizers will pay the pavilion $85,000 plus $7.00 per person attending to cover its operating expenses (production, maintenance, advertising, etc.)

Required:
a. What is the estimated contribution margin per ticket sold for the benefit concert?
b. What are the estimated total fixed costs for the benefit concert?
c. What is the estimated profit from the benefit concert if 10,500 tickets are sold?
d. How many tickets must be sold in order for concert profit to be $100,000?
e. Assuming a tax rate of 31% on profits from the concert, what must dollar ticket sales be in order for after-tax concert profits to be $100,000?
f. Assume that the organizers can negotiate the fixed payment for the pavilion's operating expenses. If the organizers expect to sell 10,500 tickets, how much can they afford to pay and still earn a profit of $100,000 (ignore taxes)?

Answers

Answer:

a. What is the estimated contribution margin per ticket sold for the benefit concert?

contribution margin per ticket = ($15.50 + $2 + $17) - ($6 + $2.55 + $7) = $34.50 - $15.55 = $18.95

b. What are the estimated total fixed costs for the benefit concert?

total fixed costs = $21,000 + $85,000 = $106,000

c. What is the estimated profit from the benefit concert if 10,500 tickets are sold?

estimated profit = (10,500 x $18.95) - $106,000 = $92,975

d. How many tickets must be sold in order for concert profit to be $100,000?

number of tickets sold = ($106,000 + $100,000) / $18.95 = 10,870.71 ≈ 10,871 tickets sold

e. Assuming a tax rate of 31% on profits from the concert, what must dollar ticket sales be in order for after-tax concert profits to be $100,000?

$100,000 / (1 - 31%) = $144,927.54

number of tickets sold = ($106,000 + $144,927.54) / $18.95 = 13,241.56 ≈ 13,241.56 tickets sold

f. Assume that the organizers can negotiate the fixed payment for the pavilion's operating expenses. If the organizers expect to sell 10,500 tickets, how much can they afford to pay and still earn a profit of $100,000 (ignore taxes)?

contribution margin increases to $18.95 + $7 = $25.95

10,500 = ($21,000 + $100,000 + ?) / $25.95

$272,475 = $121,000 + ?

? = $151,475

you can pay up to $151,475 in fixed expenses to the pavilion

When a famous painting becomes available for sale, it is often known which museum or collector will be the likely winner. Yet, the auctioneer actively woos representatives of other museums that have no chance of winning to attend anyway.

Suppose a piece of art has recently become available for sale and will be auctioned off to the highest bidder, with the winner paying an amount equal to the second highest bid. Assume that most collectors know that Janet places a value of $125,000 on the art piece and that she values this art piece more than any other collector. Suppose that if no one else shows up, Janet simply bids $125,000/2 = $5,000 and wins the piece of art.

The expected price paid by Kenji, with no other bidders present, is $:_________
