Answer:
a)
the hybrid model initially costs $5,200 more than the regular model, plus you have another $330 in extra ownership costs per year. If you plan to own the hybrid car for 6 years, then you must recoup $5,200 / 6 = $866.67 + $330 = $1,196.67 per year.
the cost of driving 1 mile with the hybrid car = $3.60 / 27 = $0.1333
the cost of driving 1 mile with the regular model = $3.60 / 19 = $0.1895
you will save = $0.0562 per mile driven
you would need to drive $1,196.67 / $0.0562 = 21,293 miles per year to make the decision worth it
b)
if you only drive 15,500 miles per year, then you would need to save $0.0772 per mile
that would only result if gasoline's price was:
x/19 - x/27 = 0.0772
0.0526x - 0.037x = 0.0772
0.0156x = 0.0772
x = 0.0772 / 0.0156 = $4.95 per gallon
c)
you must first determine the present value of all additional expenses related to purchasing a hybrid:
year cash flow
0 -5,200
1 -330
2 -330
3 -330
4 -330
5 -330
6 -330
Using a financial calculator, the PV = -$6,637.24
now we must use an annuity formula to determine the annual savings required using a 10% discount rate and 6 periods:
annual savings = $6,637.24 / 4.3553 (PV annuity factor, 10%, 6 periods) = $1,523.95
so you must save $1,523.95 per year and that is equivalent to $1,523.95 / $0.0562 = 27,116.47 = 27,116 miles
d)
you also need to save $1,523.95, but you only drive 15,500 miles, so the savings per mile = $0.0983
x/19 - x/27 = 0.0983
0.0526x - 0.037x = 0.0983
0.0156x = 0.0983
x = 0.0983 / 0.0156 = $6.30 per gallon
If there were 50000 pounds of raw materials on hand on January 1, 140000 pounds are desired for inventory at January 31, and 530000 pounds are required for January production, how many pounds of raw materials should be purchased in January?
Answer:
620,000 pounds
Explanation:
The computation of the number of pounds required raw material purchased in Jan is shown below:
Pounds of raw materials purchased is
= Pounds of material required for production + Desired Ending Inventory - Beginning Inventory
= 530,000 pounds + 140,000 pounds - 50,000 pounds
= 620,000 pounds
Hence, the number of pounds to be purchased is 620,000 pounds

Successful advertising can increase demand across a wide spectrum of consumers, but it happens unevenly. Some consumers respond more dramatically than others to advertising. This explains the change in ________ of the demand curve that occurs after an advertising campaign.
Answer:
Elasticity.
Explanation:
Successful advertising can increase demand across a wide spectrum of consumers, but it happens unevenly. Some consumers respond more dramatically than others to advertising. This explains the change in elasticity of the demand curve that occurs after an advertising campaign. Thus, the more responsive consumers are to an advert, the more elastic the consumer demand is for the successful advertising technique used by the firm.
Jack's Toys sells kites for $35 each. Variable costs are per kite. Fixed costs are per month. What is the contribution margin ratio for the kites?
Answer:
contribution margin ratio= (selling price - unitary variable cost) / selling price
Explanation:
We weren't provided with enough information to calculate the contribution margin ratio, but, I will provide the formula and an example to guide an answer.
To calculate the contribution margin ratio, we need to use the following formula:
contribution margin ratio= (selling price - unitary variable cost) / selling price
For example:
Selling price= $35
Unitary variable cost= 23
contribution margin ratio= (35 - 23)/35
contribution margin ratio= 0.34
The cash cycle measures the days required to produce finished goods or delivered services. true/false
Answer: False
Explanation:
The cash cycle is also referred to as the cash conversion cycle and it is used to know the number of days it'll take companies to turn raw materials into making money.
It is the timeframe from buying raw materials for production purpose till the moment the product that was made is being sold and money gotten from the sale.
Suppose that the dollar cost of producing x radios is c(x) = 800 + 40x - 0.2x2. Find the marginal cost when radios are produced.
Answer:
MC = 40 – 0.4x
Explanation:
Given the cost of producing the radio, C(X) = 800 + 40x – 0.2x^2
Now we have to find the marginal cost from the total cost. Since we know that the marginal cost can be derived from the total cost by taking the differentiation of total cost function with respect to x. therefore, below is the calculation of marginal cost.
C(X) = 800 + 40x – 0.2x^2
MC = d(c)/dx = 40 – 0.4x
MC = 40 – 0.4x
Suppose that the risk-free rate is 5% and that the market risk premium is 7%. What is the required return on (1) the market, (2) a stock with a beta of 1.0, and (3) a stock with a beta of 1.7? Ehrhardt, Michael C.. Corporate Finance: A Focused Approach (p. 286). Cengage Learning. Kindle Edition.
Answer:
1.
r market = 0.12 or 12%
2.
r stock = 0.12 or 12%
3.
r Stock = 0.169 or 16.9%
Explanation:
The required rate of return can be calculated using the CAPM or Capital asset pricing model equation. The formula for required rate of return under this model is,
r = rRF + Beta * rpM
Where,
rRF is the risk free raterpM is the risk premium on marketr represents the required rate of return1.
The beta of the market is always considered to be 1. Thus, the required rate of return on market would be,
r market = 0.05 + 1 * 0.07
r market = 0.12 or 12%
2.
For a stock whose beta is 1.0, the required rate of return would be same as that for market. So, the required rate of return for a stock with a beta of 1.0 is,
r Stock = 0.05 + 1 * 0.07
r Stock = 0.12 or 12%
3.
The required rate of return for a stock with a beta of 1.7 is,
r Stock = 0.05 + 1.7 * 0.07
r Stock = 0.169 or 16.9%

Explanation:
Out of the options that are given, the ones that are likely to be considered a managerial accounting report are a report to analyze potential efficiencies and savings for the purchase of new production equipment, a schedule of total manufacturing costs incurred and a statement of cost of goods manufactured.
Therefore, the least likely to be considered will be a statement of stockholders’ equity.
If you can buy a single paper towel roll for $1.99 or 24 rolls of paper towels for $12.99, what is this an example of?
Answer: c) Second Degree Price Discrimination
Explanation:
The company selling the paper towels is reducing the price per quantity as more quantities are added.
This is an example of Second Degree Price Discrimination . Here the seller sells different quantities at different prices with higher quantities usually getting lower prices as a result of trade discounts the goal of which is to encourage more sales as opposed to less.
For instance, you could pay $50 a month for gym but be charged $7 if you just want to use it for a day.

If the Open Market Purchase is $1 billion by approximately how much will the supply of Money increase
Answer: $10 billion
Explanation:
Increase in the money supply can be calculated by multiplying the injection of cash into the economy by the Money Multiplier which is calculated as;
= 1/ reserve ratio
Reserve ratio = 10%
Money Multiplier = 1 / 10%
= 10
The money supply will therefore increase by;
= 1,000,000,000 * 10
= $10,000,000,000
= $10 billion
What is NOT a major purpose of orientation and socialization? Reducing stress and anxiety Reducing employee benefits Reducing start-up costs Reducing employee turnover
Answer: Reducing employee benefits
Explanation:
When a new employee is added to the company, it is best to give them and orientation as well as to encourage other employees who have been there longer to talk to them. This can be beneficial to the employee because it will help them settle into the job faster, thus giving them more confidence to be able to overcome the stress an anxiety that may come with starting a new job.
It is also beneficial to the company as the employee will learn skills needed to survive in the job. This will reduce wastage that may accrue due to a lack of knowledge on the part of the employee of job procedure.
With the above two contributing to making the employee feel more comfortable as well as able to do their jobs, employees will have less reason to leave the job thereby reducing employee turnover.
Orientation and Socialization will not reduce employee benefits and so it is not a major purpose of the activity.
Gardiner, Inc. reported a retained earnings balance of $190,000 at December 31, 2024. In June 2025, Gardiner discovered that merchandise costing $20,000 had not been included as ending inventory in its 2024 financial statements. Also, a $50,000 accrued revenue was omitted on 12/31/24. Gardiner has a 20% tax rate. Assuming the correcting journal entry net of tax was recorded, what amount should Gardiner report as adjusted beginning retained earnings in its statement of retained earnings for year ended December 31, 2025?
Answer: $246,000
Explanation:
Merchandise costing $20,000 had been omitted from the Ending Inventory.
Ending inventory is deducted from Cost of Goods sold which means that the Cost of Goods sold was overstated by $20,000.
Cost of Goods sold are subtracted from sales to find Gross Income so if it was overstated then Income was understated by $20,000.
Accrued Revenue is to be added to Income so if it was omitted then income was understated by $50,000.
Income in total was therefore understated by = 20,000 + 50,000
= $70,000
The correcting entry is net of tax so;
= 70,000 * ( 1 - 20%)
= $56,000
Retained earnings will therefore be;
= 190,000 + 56,000
= $246,000
A team integrates and tests the Stories on the last day of the Iteration. This has become a pattern for the last three Iterations. Why is this considered an anti-pattern? g
Answer: Because the team is waterfalling the iteration
Explanation:
The options to the question are:
a. Because the team consistently meets their commitments, and the Product Owner accepts the stories
b. Because the team is waterfalling the iteration
c. Because the team demonstrates the full stories to the product owner during the iteration review.
d. Because it is difficult to manage dependencies with other teams.
An anti-pattern is a pattern that show that a particular idea will be ineffective, risky and can create further havoc.
Therefore, based on the scenario that a team integrates and tests the stories on the last day of the Iteration which has become a pattern for the last three Iterations.
This is an anti pattern because the team is waterfalling the iteration since the stories are tested on the last day therefore it'll be hard for any adjustments to be made.
Employees in engineering and marketing divisions often disagree with each other about how to achieve targets mainly because they have unique backgrounds, experiences, and training. The most apparent source of conflict here is
Answer: differentiation
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that employees in engineering and marketing divisions often disagree with each other about how to achieve targets mainly because they have unique backgrounds, experiences, and training.
The above source of conflict is due to differentiation. The differentiation is as a result of them not working in thesame divisions hence, they see things differently and not in the same way.
The stock of Big Joe's has a beta of 1.40 and an expected return of 12.10 percent. The risk-free rate of return is 4.6 percent. What is the expected return on the market?
Answer:
5.403%
Explanation:
Calculation for the expected return on the market
Using this formula
Expected return =(Expected return-Risk-free rate of return)/Stock beta +Risk-free rate of return
Where,
Expected return=12.10%
Risk-free rate of return=4.6%
Stock beta =1.40%
Let plug in the formula
Expected return =(0.121-0.046)/0.014+0.046
Expected return =0.075/0.014+0.046
Expected return=5.357+0.046
Expected return =5.403%
Therefore the expected return on the market will be =5.403

The estimated direct labor cost for February is closest to: Multiple Choice $456,000 $28,652 $253,460 $658,996
This question is incomplete, the complete question is;
Petrini Corporation makes one product and it provided the following information to help prepare the master budget for the next four months of operations: The budgeted selling price per unit is $110. Budgeted unit sales for January, February, March, and April are 7,500, 10,600, 12,000, and 11,700 units, respectively. All sales are on credit. Regarding credit sales, 30% are collected in the month of the sale and 70% in the following month. The ending finished goods inventory equals 30% of the following month's sales. The ending raw materials inventory equals 10% of the following month’s raw materials production needs. Each unit of finished goods requires 5 pounds of raw materials. The raw materials cost $4.00 per pound. Regarding raw materials purchases, 40% are paid for in the month of purchase and 60% in the following month. The direct labor wage rate is $23.00 per hour. Each unit of finished goods requires 2.6 direct labor-hours. Manufacturing overhead is entirely variable and is $8.00 per direct labor-hour. The variable selling and administrative expense per unit sold is $1.70. The fixed selling and administrative expense per month is $70,000.
The estimated direct labor cost for February is closest to: Multiple Choice $456,000 $28,652 $253,460 $658,996
Answer: The estimated direct labor cost for February is closest to D) $658,996.
Explanation:
Estimated direct labor cost for February =
Production units in February × Direct labor hours for each finished goods unit × Direct labor wage rate per hour
Ef = 11020 units × 2.6 labor hours per unit ×$23 per direct labor hour
Ff= $658,996
Also
Where Production units in February = February sales units + Ending finished goods units - Beginning finished goods units
Pf = 10600 units + (12000 units*30%) - (10600 units*30%)
Pf = 10600 units+3600 units-3180 units
Pf = 11020 units

The company has estimated its overhead in the assembling department to be $420000. The company produces 300000 wheels and 600000 seats each year. Each wheel uses 2 parts, and each seat uses 3 parts. How much of the assembly overhead should be allocated to wheels?
Answer:
$41,250
Explanation:
Given the following :
Total estimated overhead = $420,000
Number of wheels produced = 300,000 ; uses 2 Parts
Number of seats produced = 600,000 ; uses 3 parts
Number of wheels * part = (300,000 * 2) = 600,000
Number of seats * part = (600,000 * 3) = 1,800,000
Total = 600,000 + 1,800,000 = 2,400,000
Allocated overhead for wheels :
[wheels total / (wheels total + seat total)] * estimated overhead
(600,000 / 2,400,000) * $165,000
0.25 * $165,000
= $41,250
Given a stock with a beta of 1.2, risk free rate of 4%, and a market return of 10%, calculate the required return.

Porter Inc's stock has an expected return of 10.75%, a beta of 1.25, and is in equilibrium. If the risk-free rate is 5%, what is the expected market risk premium
Answer:
the expected market risk premium is 4.6%
Explanation:
The computation of the expected market risk premium is shown below:
As we know that
Expected rate of return = Risk free rate of return + beta × market risk premium
10.75% = 5% + 1.25 × market risk premium
5.75% = 1.25 × market risk premium
So, the market risk premium is
= 5.75% ÷ 1.25
= 4.6%
hence, the expected market risk premium is 4.6%
we simply applied the above formula
What are the two methods used to translate financial statements and how does the functional currency play a role in determining which method is used? Provide academic support in your response.
Answer:
The two methods of translating financial statements are the current rate method/closing rate method and the temporal method
Explanation:
Functional currency simply means the main currency used by a business. it could also be defined as the primary currency used in the economic environment in which a business operates as in where it generates most of its cash and also spends it
Functional currency determines to a large extent the method used in translation of financial statements. When there is no difference between local currency and foreign currency, current rate method is used and vice versa for temporal rate method

On the income statement of a merchandising company, interest income and interest expense are reported:
Answer: B. As separate items of other income and expense below the net operating income or loss
Explanation:
In a Merchandising company, the main revenue stream is not from interest revenue so when income from interest is received, it is not recorded with the normal revenue so as not to overstate revenue from operations. It will instead be recorded after the net operating income in the other income and expense section.
The same goes for finance costs such interest expenses. Income tax expense is also recorded here.
