Answer:Price elasticity of demand = -0.05
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand using the midpoint method= [tex]\frac{(Q2- Q1)/(Q2+Q1)/2}{(P2- P1)/(P2+P1)/2}[/tex]
where Q =Quantity demanded
P = Price
Price elasticity of demand = ([tex]\frac{(210-190/210+190)/2}{0.90-1.10/ 0.90+1.10)/2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{20/400)/2 }{ -0.2/2)/2}[/tex]
0.025/ -0.05 = -0.05
Price elasticity of demand = -0.05
The Price elasticity of demand tells us how much quantity demanded changes in response to a change in price. Here the Demand for a good is inelastic because the PED coefficient is less than one -0.05
Answer:
Elasticity = 0.5
Explanation:
Elasticity is defined as the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price. One of the methods used to calculate it is the midpoint method.
Midpoint method uses average values to calculate the elasticity of demand of a good.
Elasticity = {(Q2 - Q1) ÷ (Q1 + Q2)/2} ÷ {(P2 - P1) ÷ (P1 + P2)/2}
Elasticity = {(210 - 190) ÷ (210 + 190)/2} ÷ {(0.9 - 1.10) ÷ (0.9 + 1.10)/2}
Elasticity = 0.1 ÷ 0.2
Elasticity = 0.5
On December 31, 2021, the end of the fiscal year, California Microtech Corporation completed the sale of its semiconductor business for $15 million. The semiconductor business segment qualifies as a component of the entity according to GAAP. The book value of the assets of the segment was $13 million. The loss from operations of the segment during 2021 was $4.8 million. Pretax income from continuing operations for the year totaled $7.8 million. The income tax rate is 25%.
Prepare the lower portion of the 2021 income statement beginning with income from continuing operations before income taxes. Ignore EPS disclosures. (Amounts to be deducted and negative amounts should be indicated with a minus sign. Enter your answers in whole dollars and not in millions.)
Answer:
Income from continuing operations before income taxes 7,800,000
Less Income tax expenses (7,800,000*25%) (1,950,000)
Income from continuing operations 5,850,000
Discontinued operations:
Loss from operations of discontinued component (2,800,000)
Income tax benefit 700,000
Loss on discontinued operations (2,100,000)
Net Income (loss) 3,750,000
Working
Loss from operations of discontinued component
= Gain from sale of semiconductor business - loss from operations of the segment
= (15 - 13 ) - 4.8
= -$2.8 million
Income tax benefit
= 2,800,000 * 25%
= $700,000

Bernie and Phil's Great American Surplus store placed an ad in the Sunday Times stating, "Next Saturday at 8:00 A.M. sharp 3 brand new mink coats worth $5,000 each will be sold for $500 each! First come, First served." Marsha LufMin was first in line when the store opened and went directly to the coat department, but the coats identified in the ad were not available for sale. She identified herself to the manager and pointed out that she was first in line in conformity with the store's advertised offer and that she was ready to pay the $500 price set forth in the store's offer. The manager responded that a newspaper ad is just an invitation to negotiate and that the store decided to withdraw "the mink coat promotion." Review the text on unilateral contracts in Section 12(b) of Chapter 12. Decide.
Answer:
Bennie and Phil broke their unilateral contract by not having the coats available for sale.
Explanation:
Unilateral contracts are defined as one in which the party making an offer are the only ones that obligation to pay for specific performance of an action from the offeree.
For example if a person offers to pay anyone to mow their lawn. Any person that agrees to the job does not have a commitment to perform it.
The only commitment is that the offeror will pay once the lawn is mowed.
In the scenario above Bernie and Phil’s Great American Surplus store placed an ad in the Sunday Timesstating, “Next Saturday at 8:00 A.M. sharp 3 brand new mink coats worth $5,000 eachwill be sold for $500 each! First come, first served.” They are the offerors
Marsha now did her part by being first in line to buy the coat.
By not having the coat available for sale Bernie and Phil have broken their unilateral contract
On January 1, 2021, Nath-Langstrom Services, Inc., a computer software training firm, leased several computers under a two-year operating lease agreement from ComputerWorld Leasing, which routinely finances equipment for other firms at an annual interest rate of 4%. The contract calls for four rent payments of $17,500 each, payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31 each year. The computers were acquired by Computer World at a cost of $105,000 and were expected to have a useful life of six years with no residual value. Both firms record amortization and depreciation semi-annually.
Required:
1. Prepare appropriate journal entries recorded by Nath-Langstrom Services for the first year of the lease.
2. Prepare appropriate journal entries recorded by ComputerWorld Leasing for the first year of the lease.
• 1 Record the beginning of the lease for Nath-Langstrom Services.
• 2 Record the lease payment and interest expense for Nath-Langstrom Services.
• 3 Record the amortization expense for Nath-Langstrom Services.
• 4 Record the lease payment and interest expense for Nath-Langstrom Services.
• 5 Record the amortization expense for Nath-Langstrom Services.
• 6 Record the lease revenue received by ComputerWorld Leasing.
• 7 Record the Depreciation expense for ComputerWorld Leasing.
• 8 Record the lease revenue received by ComputerWorld Leasing.
• 9 Record the Depreciation expense for ComputerWorld Leasing.
Answer:
Lessee journal entries:

--to record lease payment Dec 31st, 2021--
The lessee does not depreciate the equipment as it is not part of their company.
Lessor journal entries:
cash 17,500 debit
lease revenue 17,500 credit
--to record cash collection on Nath-Langstrom June 30th--
depreciation expense 8,750 debit

--to record cash collection on Nath-Langstrom Dec 31st--
depreciation expense 8,750 debit
acc depreciation- equip 8,750 credit
--to record depreciation on leased equipment Dec 31st--
Explanation:
This is an operating lease as the equipment returns to the firm at the end of the contract and it is below 75% of the useful life (2 years / 6 years = 33%)
amortization on the equipment:
(cost - salvage value ) / useful life
(105,000 - 0 ) / 6 = 17,500 per year
semiannual depreciation: 17,500 / 2 = 8,750

Alan inherited $100,000 with the stipulation that he "invest it to financially benefit his family." Alan and his wife Alice decided they would invest the inheritance to help them accomplish two financial goals: purchasing a Park City vacation home and saving for their son Cooper’s education.
Vacation Home Cooper’s Education
Initial investment $50,000 $50,000
Investment horizon 5 years 18 years
Alan and Alice have a marginal income tax rate of 32 percent (capital gains rate of 15 percent) and have decided to investigate the following investment opportunities.
Required:
Determine the two annual after-tax rate of return.
Answer:
the question is missing the information about potential investments, so I looked for a similar one:
5 Years 18 Years
Corporate bonds 5.75% 4.75%
(ordinary interest taxed annually)
Dividend-paying stock 3.50% 3.50%
(no appreciation and dividends are taxed at 15%)
Growth stock FV $65,000 FV $140,000
Municipal bond (tax-exempt) 3.20% 3.10%
Alan and Alice should invest in growth stocks since they yield the highest after tax return:
5 years:
FV of growth stocks = $65,000
taxable gain = $65,000 -$50,000 = $15,000 x 15% = $2,250
net gain = $15,000 - $2,250 = $12,750
to determine the yield rate we can use the future value formula:
62,750 = 50,000 x (1 + r)⁵
(1 + r)⁵ = 62,750 / 50,000 = 1.255
⁵√(1 + r)⁵ = ⁵√1.255
1 + r = 1.046
r = 4.6% after tax yield per year
18 years:
FV of growth stocks = $140,000
taxable gain = $140,000 -$50,000 = $90,000 x 15% = $13,500
net gain = $90,000 - $13,500 = $76,500
to determine the yield rate we can use the future value formula:
126,500 = 50,000 x (1 + r)¹⁸
(1 + r)¹⁸ = 126,500 / 50,000 = 2.53
¹⁸√(1 + r)¹⁸ = ¹⁸√2.53
1 + r = 1.053
r = 5.3% after tax yield per year
Cascade Company was started on January 1, 2016, when it acquired $60,000 cash from the owners. During 2016, the company earned cash revenues of $35,000 and incurred cash expenses of $18,100. The company also paid cash distributions of $4,000.

Every year, management and labor renegotiate a new employment contract by sending their proposals to an arbitrator, who chooses the best proposal (effectively giving one side or the other $3 million). Each side can choose to hire, or not hire, an expensive labor lawyer (at a cost of $300,000) who is effective at preparing the proposal in the best light. If neither hires a lawyer or if both hire lawyers, each side can expect to win about half the time. If only one side hires a lawyer, it can expect to win nine tenths, or 0.9, of the time. Use the given information to fit in the expected payoff, in dollars, for each cell in the matrix.
Management (M)
No Lawyer Lawyer
No Lawyer L: M: S L: S M: S
Labor (L) Lawyer L: M: S L: S M: S
The Nash equilibrium for this game is for Management to_____a lawyer, and for Labor to_____a lawyer.
Answer: hire; hire
Explanation:
The Nash equilibrium for this game is for Management to hire a lawyer, and for Labor to hire a lawyer.
At the Nash Equilibrium, there is no incentive for either player to deviate from the strategy they are pursuing as it is the best(most beneficial) one given the strategy of the other player and a situation where there is no cooperation.
If management decides not to hire a lawyer and labor does, management will lose 0.9 of the time, this applies to labor as well. Neither of them will agree to having no lawyer as there is no cooperation and if one does so, the other will seize the opportunity to hire a lawyer and make more.
In both the United States and France, the demand for haircuts is given by QD=300−10P . However, in the United States, the supply is given by QS=−300+20P , while in France, the supply is given by QS=−33.33+6.67P .
Required:
a. What are the equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries?
b. What are the new equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries?
Answer:
a. P = 20 and Q = 100 in the United States; and also P = 20 and Q = 100 in France.
b. P = 23.33 and Q = 166.70 in the United States; and P = 26 and Q = 140 in France.
Explanation:
Note: The part b of the requirement is not complete. The entire question is therefore represented with the complete pat b before answering the question as follows:
In both the United States and France, the demand for haircuts is given by QD=300−10P . However, in the United States, the supply is given by QS=−300+20P , while in France, the supply is given by QS=−33.33+6.67P .
Required:
a. What are the equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries?
b. Suppose that the demand for haircuts in both countries increases by 100 units at each price, so that the new demand is QD = 400 - 10P. What are the new equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries?
The explanation to the answers is now provided as follows:
a. What are the equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries?
In economics, an equilibrium occurs at point where the quantities demanded is equal to the quantities supplied.
Let Q denotes equilibrium quantity and P denotes equilibrium price, the equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries can therefore be calculated as follows:
In the United States
QD =300 − 10P
QS= −300 + 20P
Since at equilibrium, QD = QS, we can therefore solve for P by equating the two equations above as follows:
300 - 10P = −300 + 20P
300 + 300 = 20P + 10P
600 = 30P
P = 600 / 30
P = 20
To obtain equilibrium quantity, we substitute P = 20 into any QD and QS since at equilibrium QD = QS. Using QD, we have:
Q = 300 – 10(20)
Q = 300 – 200
Q = 100
Therefore, P = 20 and Q = 100 in the United States.
In France
QD = 300 − 10P
QS= −33.33 + 6.67P
Since at equilibrium, QD = QS, we can therefore solve for P by equating the two equations above as follows:
300 - 10P = −33.33 + 6.67P
300 + 33.33 = 6.67P + 10P
333.33 = 16.67P
P = 333.33 / 16.67
P = 20
To obtain equilibrium quantity, we substitute P = 20 into any QD and QS since at equilibrium QD = QS. Using QD, we have:
Q = 300 – 10(20)
Q = 300 – 200
Q = 100
Therefore, P = 20 and Q = 100 also in France.
b. Suppose that the demand for haircuts in both countries increases by 100 units at each price, so that the new demand is QD = 400 - 10P. What are the new equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries?
In the United States
QD = 400 − 10P
QS= −300 + 20P
Since at equilibrium, QD = QS, we can therefore solve for P by equating the two equations above as follows:
400 - 10P = −300 + 20P
400 + 300 = 20P + 10P
700 = 30P
P = 700 / 30
P = 23.33
To obtain equilibrium quantity, we substitute P = 20 into any QD and QS since at equilibrium QD = QS. Using QD, we have:
Q = 400 – 10(23.33)
Q = 400 – 233.30
Q = 166.70
Therefore, P = 23.33 and Q = 166.70 in the United States.
In France
QD = 400 − 10P
QS= −33.33 + 6.67P
Since at equilibrium, QD = QS, we can therefore solve for P by equating the two equations above as follows:
400 - 10P = −33.33 + 6.67P
400 + 33.33 = 6.67P + 10P
433.33 = 16.67P
P = 433.33 / 16.67
P = 25.99 = 26
To obtain equilibrium quantity, we substitute P = 20 into any QD and QS since at equilibrium QD = QS. Using QD, we have:
Q = 400 – 10(26)
Q = 400 – 260
Q = 140
Therefore, P = 26 and Q = 140 in France.

If overhead is applied using traditional costing based on direct labor hours, the overhead application rate is:
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Explanation:
If overhead is applied using traditional costing based on direct labor hours, the overhead application rate is:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
For example:
Total estimated overhead= $150,000
Allocation base= direct labor hours
Estimated Total number of direct labor hours= 10,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 150,000/10,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $15 per direct labor hour

Break-even point is the level of activity where a firm neither makes a profit nor a loss.
Break-even point (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit
Where,
Contribution per unit = Unit Selling Price less Variable Costs per unit
= $20 - $6 - $2
= $12.00
Therefore,
Break-even point (units) = ($300,000 + $600,000) ÷ $12.00
= 75,000 units
Sales (dollars) to reach target profit = (Fixed Costs + Target Profit) ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio
Where,
Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution ÷ Sales
= $12.00 ÷ $20.00
= 0.60
Therefore,
Sales (dollars) to reach target profit = ($300,000 + $600,000 + 1,200,000) ÷ 0.60
= $1,700,000
Margin of Safety = (Sales level - Break-even Sales level) ÷ Sales level
= ($2,500,000 - $1,500,000) ÷ $2,500,000
= 0.40 or 40 %
Calculation of Incremental Monthly Operating Income
Incremental Sales $100,000
Less Incremental Variable Costs (5,000 × $8) ($40.000)
Incremental Contribution $60,000
Less Incremental Fixed Costs $0
Incremental Operating Income $60,000
McKinney & Co. estimates its uncollectible accounts as a percentage of credit sales. McKinney made credit sales of $1,500,000 in 2019. McKinney estimates 2.5% of its sales will be uncollectible. At the end of the first quarter of 2020, McKinney & Co. reevaluates its receivables. McKinney’s management decides that $8,500 due from Mangold Corporation will not be collectible. This amount was previously included in the allowance account. On April 23, 2020, McKinney & Co. receives a check from Mangold Corporation for $8,500.

Mcmurtry Corporation sells a product for $250 per unit. The product's current sales are 13,600 units and its break-even sales are 10,608 units. The margin of safety as a percentage of sales is closest to:
Answer:
22%
Explanation:
Margin of Safety is the amount by which sales can fall before making a loss.
Margin of Safety = Expected Sales - Break-even Sales ÷ Expected Sales
= (13,600 - 10,608) ÷ 13,600
= 0.22 or 22%

Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Net export = exports imports
When exports exceed import there is a trade deficit and when import exceeds import, there is a trade surplus.
Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:
services not rendered to oneself
Activities not reported to the government
illegal activities
sale or purchase of used products
sale or purchase of intermediate products
Nominal GDP is GDP calculated using current year prices while Real GDP is GDP calculated using base year prices. Real GDP has been adjusted for inflation.
Athleticus shoes produced in Vietnam would not be included because it wasn't produced in the US
b. the work done by the accountant would not be included in 2017 GDP because it wasn't concluded in 2017 but in 2018
c. The corn syrup is an intermediate good and it would not be included in GDP
d. e. The hamburger and chocolate would be included in GDP as part of consumption spending
A diet is to contain at least 3640 mg vitamin C, 2190 mg Calcium, and 2170 calories every day. Two foods, a dairy-based meal and a vegan option are to fulfill these requirements. Each ounce of the dairy-based meal provides 40 mg vitamin C, 30 mg Calcium, and 10 calories. Each ounce of the vegan option provides 60 mg vitamin C, 30 mg Calcium, and 50 calories. If the dairy-based meal costs $0.21 per ounce and the vegan option costs $0.27 per ounce.
Required:
a. How many ounces of each food should be purchased to minimize costs?
b. What is that minimum cost (per day)?
Answer:
(A) 73 ounces of diary-based meal and 28.8 ounces of the vegan option.
(B) The minimum cost per day is [73 × 0.21] + [28.8 × 0.27] = 15.33 + 7.776 = $23.106
Explanation:
First thing to note is that the dairy-based meal costs less than the vegan option. In otherwords, if you're to minimize cost, you should purchase as many ounces of dairy-based meal as possible. This is the first mindset or step.
What the diet should contain everyday:
3640mg - Vitamin C
2190mg - Calcium
2170 - Calories
DAIRY BASED:
(40 × 91 = 3640), (30 × 73 = 2190), (10 × 217 = 2170)
VEGAN OPTION:
(60 × 60.67 = 3640), (30 × 73 = 2190), (50 × 43.4 = 2170)
Getting 73 ounces of dairy-based meal, you have
(40 × 73), (30 × 73), (10 × 73) = 2920mg, 2190mg, 730 calories.
You have left 720mg of Vitamin C and 1440 calories to obtain from the Vegan Option.
(60 × 12 = 720), (30 × 0 = 0), (50 × 28.8 = 1440)
The highest quantity needed here is 28.8 ounces of calories from the vegan option, hence 28.8 ounces of the vegan meal should be purchased. There will be excesses of Vitamin C and Calcium but that is necessary in order to purchase the stipulated minimum amount of each nutrient.
The minimum cost per day will now be [73 × 0.21] + [28.8 × 0.27] = 15.33 + 7.776 = $23.106

Robert needs his daily fix of coffee in the mid-afternoon and visits different coffee shops that will give him as much utility as possible, given his $20/month food budget. On Monday, the Blue Coffee Shop was selling espresso shots for $3 each and Robert added 3 shots to his cappuccino. By Friday, the Purple Coffee Shop offered espresso shots for $2 each, while all other prices remained the same, so Robert was bold and added 4 espresso shots to his hot beverage.
Required:
Given this information, plot Robert's demand curve for espresso shots.
Answer:
I drew Robert's demand curve for espresso shots assuming that it was a linear curve since the information contained in the question is limited to that.
A demand curve generally is downward sloping, since an increase in price will usually result in a higher quantity demanded (at least for normal goods).
