Regulatory focus theory suggests that consumers will react differently depending on which broad set of motives is more salient. Name and describe the two prominent sets of motives and describe how consumers will react when each set of motives is more noticeable. Use a specific product or service to explain your answer.
Two prominent sets of motives under regulatory focus theory are termed Promotion and prevention.
What is regulatory focus theory?According to the regulatory focus hypothesis, people can work toward objectives with either a promotion or a preventive emphasis. People who aim for advancement interpret pleasure as the accomplishment of their aims, ambitions, and aspirations, and interpret suffering as their absence.
Motives assume that emotional trade-offs between both the coexisting motivational systems on promotion and prevention will always happen. Promotion-oriented people are opportunistic and look for real experiences as motivation to develop action-oriented objectives, which are necessary to getting outcomes.
People who have a prevention orientation are extremely optimistic and see keeping things as they are and preventing bad things from happening as their defining and overriding motives.

There are some government programs that pay farmers not to plant wheat on part of their land.
This would help farmers:
A) by increasing total revenue but it hurts consumers.
B) by increasing prices for wheat by increasing total revenue and it also helps consumers by lowering the price of wheat.
C) since the government payment will reduce the costs of production and increase the supply of wheat.
D) since the government payment will increase income to farmers and it helps consumers too by lowering the price of wheat.
Answer:
Option D
Explanation:
In simple words, the payment by government will work as a subsidy for the lost profits of the farmers and their income will be ineffective. Also, by not using that land the farmers can grow any other crop which can provide them higher income as compared to crops.
Such step will result in higher total revenue as wheat would not get wasted due to extra production, thus consumers will also not get hurt.
Answer:
Answer is A
Explanation:
I vividly remember taking this in college last year for econ. I even pulled out my old paper work for the quiz (I snuck a copy home). It is A, don't listen to this "expert answer" person.
Porter Resources Company acquired a tract of land containing an extractable natural resource. Porter is required by its purchase contract to restore the land to a condition suitable for recreational use after it has extracted the natural resource. Geological surveys estimate that the recoverable reserves will be 2,000,000 tons, and that the land will have a value of $1,000,000 after restoration. Relevant cost information follows:
Land $7,500,000
Estimated restoration costs 1,500,000
If Porter maintains no inventories of extracted material, what should be the charge to depletion expense per ton of extracted material?
Answer:
A. $4
Explanation:
The computation of amount of depletion per ton is shown below:-
Depletion per ton = (Acquisition cost of land + Estimated restoration costs- Salvage value) ÷ Tons of recoverable reserves
= ($7,500,000 + $1,500,000 - $1,000,000) ÷ 2,000,000 tons
= (9,000,000 - $1,000,000) ÷ 2,000,000 tons
= $8,000,000 ÷ 2,000,000 tons
= $4
Therefore for computing the depletion per ton we simply applied the above formula.
Use the following to answer question 80: Gross Corporation adopted the dollar-value LIFO method of inventory valuation on December 31, 2011. Its inventory at that date was $440,000 and the relevant price index was 100. Information regarding inventory for subsequent years is as follows: Inventory at Current Current Prices Price Index December 31, 2012 $513,600 107 December 31, 2013 580,000 125 December 31, 2014 650,000 130 80. What is the cost of the ending inventory at December 31, 2013 under dollar value LIFO
Answer:
$465680
Explanation:
For calculating the ending inventory under the dollar value LIFO method we will follow the 2 steps given as under:
Step1:
Y = Current Price at year end / Price Index at that time
Step2:
Ending Inventory = Opening Inventory value + (Y - Opening Inventory Value) * Index Value
For the Year 2012
Step 1:
Y = 513,600 / 1.07 = $480,000
Step 2:
Ending Inventory = $440,000 + ($480,000 - 440,000) * 1.07 = $482,800
Similarly for the year 2013
Step 1:
Y = 580000 / 1.25 = $464,000
Step 2:
Ending Inventory = $440,000 + ($464,000 - $440,000) * 1.07 = $465,680
The answer is $465680.

= 125%
Hence, Predetermined overhead rate is 125% of labor cost.
3)
Total cost :
Direct material $4875 ($800 + $900 + $1600 + $1575)
Direct labor $1,300 ($400 + $300 + $600)
Manufacturing overhead $1,625 ($500 + $375 + $750)
Total cost $7,800 ($4875 + $1300 + $1625)
Now
Unit cost = Total cost ÷ Quantity
=$7,800 ÷ 2,500
= $3.12
4) The journal entry is
Finished goods inventory A/c Dr. $7,800

Explanation:
Note is a promissory note with a written promise made by the borrower to the lender (payee) to pay a certain, definite sum at a specified date.
Interest expense on the notes is calculated as: Principal x Interest Rate x Time
Nov. 1: In this case, the total interest revenue is: $63,600 x 9%/12 x 12 months = $5,724.
Interest expense as at December 31 is therefore $5,724 / 12 x 2 = $954.
Dec. 11: Total interest revenue is: $5,400 x 8%/12 x 3 months = $108.
Interest expense as at December 31 is therefore $108 / 90 days x 19 days = $23.
Dec. 16: Total interest revenue is: $14,400 x 6%/12 x 6 months = $432.
Interest expense as at December 31 is therefore $432 / 180 days x 14 days = $34.

An ordinary annuity selling at $4,947.11 today promises to make equal payments at the end of each year for the next eight years (N). If the annuity’s appropriate interest rate (IN) remains at 6.50% during this time, the annual annuity payment (PMT) will be ________. You just won the lottery. Congratulations! The jackpot is $35,000,000, paid in eight equal annual payments. The first payment on the lottery jackpot will be made today. In present value terms, you really won ________ assuming annual interest rate of 6.50%.
Answer:
$812.49 and $28,369,687.5
Explanation:
Let us assume the annual payments be X
Sale of ordinary annuity = X × PVAF factor
$4,947.11 = X × PVAF(6.5%, 8 years)
$4,947.11 = 6.0888 × X
X = $812.49
And,
The Present value is
Present value = Annual payments + Annual payments × PVAF factor
= $4,375,000 + $4,375,000 × PVAF(6.5%, 7 years)
= $4,375,000 + $4,375,000 × 5.4845
= $28,369,687.5
The $4,375,000 is come from
= $35,000,000 ÷ 8 years

Colgate-Palmolive Company has just paid an annual dividend of $ 1.09. Analysts are predicting dividends to grow by $ 0.19 per year over the next five years. After then, Colgate's earnings are expected to grow 5.3 % per year, and its dividend payout rate will remain constant. If Colgate's equity cost of capital is 7.5 % per year, what price does the dividend-discount model predict Colgate stock should sell for today?
Answer:
$74.62
Explanation:
Div₀ = $1.09
expected growth $0.19 per year
Div₁ = $1.28
Div₂ = $1.47
Div₃ = $1.66
Div₄ = $1.85
Div₅ = $2.04
then constant growth rte of 5.3%
equity cost = 7.5%
first we need to determine the stock price in year 5 using the Gordon growth model:
stock price = [dividend x (1+g)] / (Re - g) = ($2.04 x 1.053) / (7.5% - 5.3%) = $97.64
now we can discount all the future cash flows:
stock price = $1.28/1.075 + $1.47/1.075² + $1.66/1.075³ + $1.85/1.075⁴ + $2.04/1.075⁵ + $97.64/1.075⁵ = $1.19 + $1.27 + $1.34 + $1.39 + $1.42 + $68.01 = $74.62

c. Common Stock $50,000 and Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Value $20,000.
d. Common Stock $50,000 and Retained Earnings $20,000.
Answer:
c. Common Stock $50,000 and Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Value $20,000.
Explanation:
The journal entry is shown below:
Cash $70,000 (5,000 shares × $14)
To Common stock $50,000 (5,000 shares × $10)
To Additional Paid in capital in excess of par value - Common stock $20,000 (5,000 shares × $4)
(Being the issuance of the common stock is recorded)
For recording this we debited the cash as it increased assets and at the same time it also increased the overall stockholder equity so common stock and the additional paid in capital for common stock is credited
Discuss the different roles played by the qualitative and quantitative approaches to managerial decision making. Why is it important for a manager or decision maker to have a good understanding of both of these approaches to decision making? Give an example of when the qualitative approach might be more appropriate and another example of when the quantitative approach might be more appropriate.
Explanation:
Regarding the management decision-making process, there are two different approaches that the manager must know and know how to use in certain situations.
The qualitative approach is one that is based on experimental knowledge of various factors involved in decision making, such as interpersonal connections that occur in the work environment, in this approach it is necessary that the manager has an intuition and accurate perception of the organization as a whole before making an important decision
The quantitative approach is one that uses mathematical statistics for decision making, generally works best for solving measurable problems, and for this reason can be used by a manager without much direct experience.
The qualitative approach may be more appropriate in a situation where a manager needs to solve problems related to situations of conflict between organizational departments, because in this scenario it is necessary to have knowledge of factors that generate the complex interaction between people.
The quantitative approach can be more useful in a scenario where it needs to analyze which are the most profitable departments in the organization and what is the probability of each department generating profits in the company, because in this case accounting data are used to support decision making.

Trout farming is a perfectly competitive industry and all trout farms have the same cost curves.
When the market price is $25 a fish, farms maximize profit by producing 200 fish a week. At this output, average total cost is $20 a fish and average variable cost is $15 a fish. Minimum average variable cost is $12 a fish.
Required:
i) If the price falls to $20 a fish, will a trout farm produce 200 fish a week. Explain why or why not?
ii) If the price falls to $12 a fish, what will the trout farmer do?
iii) What are two points on a trout farm's supply curve?
Answer:
(i) The farm can cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will continue producing 200 units
(ii) The farm cannot cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will shut down
(iii) The two relevant points on supply curve will be: (Price = $12 & Quantity = 0) and (Price = $25 & Quantity = 200)
Explanation:
(i)According to given data, When output is 200 but price is $20, this price is equal to ATC, so the farm breaks even. But since this price is higher than AVC of $15, the farm can cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will continue producing 200 units.
(ii) When output is 200 but price is $12, this price is equal to ATC, so the farm makes economic loss. Also, this price is lower than AVC of $15, so the farm cannot cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will shut down.
(iii) The farm's supply curve is the portion of its Marginal cost (MC) curve above the minimum point of AVC. Since price equals MC, the two relevant points on supply curve will be: (Price = $12 & Quantity = 0) and (Price = $25 & Quantity = 200).

Sunland Sports sells volleyball kits that it purchases from a sports equipment distributor. The following static budget based on sales of 1,940 kits was prepared for the year. Fixed operating expenses account for 78% of total operating expenses at this level of sales.
Sales $ 97,000
Cost of goods sold (all variable) 58,200
Gross margin 38,800
Operating expenses 33,950
Operating income $ 4,850
Assume that during the year Sunland Sports actually sold 2,037 volleyball kits during the year at a price of $47 per kit.
Required:
1. Calculate the sales price variance.
Answer:
$6,111 unfavorable variance
Explanation:
The budgeted sales price can be determined by dividing budgeted sales of $97,000 by the budgeted sales volume of 1,940 kits i.e $50 ($97,000/1940)
However,2037 volleyball kits were sold for $47 each instead of the planned $50 per kit.
sales price variance=(actual sales volume*actual sales price)*(budgeted sales price*actual sales volume)
actual sales volume is 2037
actual sales price is $47
budgeted sales price is $50
sales price variance=($47*2037)-($50*2037)=$-6111

Dapper Corporation had only one job in process on May 1. The job had been charged with $1,010 of direct materials, $3,630 of direct labor, and $5,510 of manufacturing overhead cost. The company assigns overhead cost to jobs using the predetermined overhead rate of $15.70 per direct labor-hour. During May, the following activity was recorded:Raw materials (all direct materials): Beginning balance $9,700Purchased during the month $25,000Used in production $31,400Labor: Direct labor-hours worked during the month 2,160Direct labor cost incurred $29,808Actual manufacturing overhead costs incurred $31,800Inventories: Raw materials, May 30 ?Work in process, May 30 $20,100Work in process inventory on May 30 contains $3,450 of direct labor cost. Raw materials consist solely of items that are classified as direct materials.
Required:
1. The balance in the raw materials inventory account on May 30 was ___________.a) $3,180b) $3,820c) $3,300d) $3,420
Answer:
ending inventory= $3,300
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Raw materials (all direct materials):
Beginning balance $9,700
Purchased during the month $25,000
Used in production $31,400
To calculate the ending balance for Direct materials, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory
31,400= 9,700 + 25,000 - ending inventory
ending inventory= 3,300
The Sanding Department of Quik Furniture Company has the following production and manufacturing cost data for March 2020, the first month of operation. Production: 6,240 units finished and transferred out; 3,000 units started that are 100% complete as to materials and 20% complete as to conversion costs. Manufacturing costs: Materials $36,960; labor $21,400; overhead $30,242. Prepare a production cost report. (Round unit costs to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.25 and other answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125.)
Answer:
Cost of goods transferred out $71,061.012
Value of closing inventory = $17,540.98
Explanation:
Cost per equivalent unit = Cost /total equivalent unit
Material
Equivalent unit = (100%×6,240) +( 100%× 3,000) = 9240
Cost per equivalent unit = $36,960/9,240 units= 4
Labour
Equivalent unit = (100%×6,240) + ( 25%× 3,000)= 6990 units
Cost per equivalent unit = ( 21,400 + 30,242)/6990 = 7.387982833
Cost of goods transferred out= (6,240× 4) + (7.38×6,240)=71,061.012
Value of closing inventory = (3,000× 4) + (7.38× 25%*3000)= 17,540.98
Cost of goods transferred out $71,061.012
Value of closing inventory = $17,540.98
Kiano, a telecommunications equipment manufacturer, manufactures PDAs (P), wireless handsets (H), and blackberrys (B). They have a limited supply of common parts---ethernet card (450 in inventory), antenna (250 in inventory), chipset (800 in inventory), battery/power supply (450 in inventory), LCD screen (600 in inventory)---that these products use. A PDA requites an ethernet card, 2 chipsets, a power supply, and 2 LCD screens. A wireless handset requires an ethernet card, an antenna, 2 chipsets, a power supply, and a LCD screen. A blackberry requires a chipset and a LCD screen. The profit on PDAs is $80, the profit on wireless handsets is $60, and the profit on blackberrys is $35. The following is a linear programming formulation of the problem.
Let
P = Number of PDAs produced
H = Number of wireless handsets produced
B = Number of blackberrys produced
We may write model for this problem as follows.
Maximize 80P + 60H + 35B
subject to:
(ethernet card constraint) P + H ? 450
(antenna constraint constraint) H ? 250
(chipset constraint) 2P + 2H + B ? 800
(power supply constraint) P + H ? 450
(LCD screen constraint) 2P + H + B ? 600
(non-negativity) P, H, B ? 0.
Implement the above model in Solver and make sure to choose Simplex as the solving method and to choose the option "Make Unconstrained Variables non-negative"---do not explicitly put in the non-negativity constraints in the model and using the sensitivity report only
answer the questions below:
a. Does the solution change if only 425 ethernet cards are available?
b. Is it profitable to produce Blackberrys? If not, by how much should the profit margin on Blackberrys be increased to make it profitable to produce Blackberrys?
c. Because of a change in production technology the profit margin on handsets has increased to $70. Should the production plan of Kiano change? What is their new profit?
d. 50 chipsets were found to be defective, making the number of available chipsets 750. What will the profit be in this situation?
e. Another supplier is willing to sell LCD screens to Kiano. However their prices for a LCD screen are $20 higher than what Kiano pays it's regular supplier. Should Kiano go ahead and purchase these electronic units? If yes, at most how many units should they purchase.
f. Kiano is considering introducing a new product (called the Revolutionary Communicator) that combines the wireless handset and PDA. This product uses an ethernet card, an antenna, 2 chipsets, 1 power supply, and 2 LCD screens, and is expected to make a profit of $100. Should Kiano produce the Revolutionary Communicator? Why or Why not?

The entry required to close the revenue and expense accounts at the end of the period includes a:
a) credit to Retained Earnings for $4,780.
b) credit to Retained Earnings for $38,300.
c) debit to Retained Earnings for $4,780.
d) debit to Retained Earnings for $38,300.
Answer:
A) credit to Retained Earnings for $4,780.
Explanation:
Temporary accounts (includes all revenues and expenses) must be closed against the income summary account. Then the income summary account is closed against retained earnings, and depending on whether the company made a profit or not, the retained earnings account will be debited or credited.
In this case, the net income after taxes is $4,780, so that means that retained earnings will increase (should be credited), so the closing journal entry should be:
Dr Income summary 4,780
Cr Retained earnings 4,780
Rental Revenue 37,000
Service Revenue 1,300
Wages Expense (19,000 )
Depreciation Expense (1,800 )
Utilities Expense (320 )
Insurance Expense (700 )
Maintenance Expense (9,000 )
Income Tax Expense (2,700)
net income after taxes $4,780
