Answer:
c: 2.0 years
Explanation:
The computation of the payback period is shown below:
Since initial investment is $14,000
And, if we add the first two cash inflows i.e.
= $8,000 + $6,000
= $14,000
So, it is equivalent to the initial investment made
So, this means the investment amount payback in 2 years
Therefore the option c is correct
Barraza Corporation uses a weighted-average process costing system. Barraza has two direct materials. One of these materials is added at the beginning of the production process. The other material is added when processing is 50% complete. When will the equivalent units of production for these two materials be equal?
A. when processing on beginning work in process is less than 50% complete at the start of the period.B. when processing on beginning work in process is more than 50% complete at the start of the period.C. when processing on ending work in process is over 50% complete.D. when processing on ending work in process is less than 50% complete.
Answer:
Barraza Corporation
The equivalent units of production for these two materials will be equal when:
C. when processing on ending work in process is over 50% complete.
Explanation:
The reason for this option is that one of the two materials is added at the beginning of the production process, and the other is added when processing has reached 50% completion. Therefore, their equivalent units will become equal when processing on ending work in process is over 50% complete. By that time, 100% of each material would have been added.

This year Andrews achieved an ROE of 10.7%. Suppose management takes measures that decrease Asset turnover (Sales/Total Assets) next year. Assuming Sales, Profits, and financial leverage remain the same, what effect would you expect this action to have on Andrews's ROE
Answer:
Andrews's ROE would decrease
Explanation:
Return on equity is an example of a profitability ratio.
Profitability ratios measure the ability of a firm to generate profits from its asset
Return on equity = net income / average total equity
Using the Dupont formula, ROE can be determined using:
ROE = Net profit margin x asset turnover x financial leverage
ROE = (Net income / Sales) x (Sales/Total Assets) x (total asset / common equity)
If asset turnover decreases and other ratios remain constant, ROE declines

Each scenario below gives some information about price elasticity of demand for a firm. Use this information to answer the questions.
Honest Abe's Used Cars estimates the price elasticity of demand for their cars to be 5.10. Last month, Abe tried a new marketing scheme which decreased the number of cars sold by 57%.
Abe must have___prices. Abe's prices must have changed by___. Therefore, Abe's total revenue____.
At Webs-R-Us, a website design company, the new manager has decided to increase the price of Webs-R-Us services by 45%. If Webs-R-Us has a price elasticity of demand at 0.70, we can expected the number of websites designed to____. Therefore, Webs-R-Us's total revenue will The number of websites will change by_____.
Answer:
Increased
2.907%
decreased
decrease
increase
0.64
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
Abe's elasticity of demand is elastic because it has a value greater than 1.
if quantity demanded decreases, it means that price must have been increased. this would lead to a decrease in total revenue
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.

If the price of an airline ticket from SFO to LAS were to increase by 10%, from $100 to $110 roundtrip, while all other demand factors remain at their initial values, the quantity of rooms demanded at the Triple Sevens from rooms per night to rooms per night. Because the cross-price elasticity of demand is
Answer:
Quantity demanded declined to 250 rooms per night from 300 rooms per night.
Cross price elasticity of demand is negative.
Explanation:
Cross price Elasticity of demand = [change in quantity demand/ current demand] / [ % change in price]
Cross price elasticity of demand = {[300 - 250] / 300 } / 10
Cross price elasticity of demand is = -1.6
You are the manager of a local sporting goods store and recently purchased ashipment of 60 sets of skis and ski bindings at a total cost of $30,000 (yourwholesale supplier would not let you purchase the skis and bindings separately,nor would it let you purchase fewer than 60 sets). The community in whichyour store is located consists of many different types of skiers, ranging fromadvanced to beginners. From experience, you know that different skiers valueskis and bindings differently. However, you cannot profitably price discrimi-nate because you cannot prevent resale. There are about 20 advanced skierswho value skis at $350 and ski bindings at $250; 20 intermediate skiers whovalue skis at $250 and ski bindings at $375; and 20 beginning skiers who valueskis at $175 and ski bindings at $325. Determine your optimal pricing strateg
Answer:
Optimal price is $575 which includes skis and ski binding.
Explanation:
Skiers who value skis at
Advance 20 * [$350 + $250] = $12,000
Intermediate 20 * [$250 + $375] = $12,500
beginners 20 * [$175 + $325] = $10,000

Pharmaceutical companies are sometimes perceived as profiting unfairly from drugs they sell. Suppose that a new law shortens the time during which the manufacturer has exclusive use of the drug formula. Place the events in sequence to illustrate how restricting profits by pharmaceutical companies will affect innovation.
a. Pharmaceutical companies reduce their estimate of the profitability of new drug research.
b. Fewer new drugs are brought to market.
c. Pharmaceutical companies are less willing, to invest in drug development.
Answer:
1. Pharmaceutical companies reduce their estimate of the profitability of new drug research.
2. Pharmaceutical companies are less willing to invest in drug development.
3. Fewer new drugs are brought to market.
Explanation:
Given that the pharmaceutical companies are recognized as making profits in an unfair way by selling drugs. Now there is a new law which shortens the duration of time of the use of the drug formula by the manufacturer.
Thus the events in a sequence order which shows how the restricting profits by the pharmaceutical companies affects the innovation are :
The companies tries to reduce their estimate of profitability of the new drug research.The pharmaceutical research does not want to invest their money in the research and development of the drugs.Only few drugs are put in the market.In most situations, asset values do not equal the amount of money that could be realized if the assets were sold.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
The answer to this question is true. The recording of assets is usually done at cost. This is equivalent to the value that was exchanged when the asset was sold. In a country like the United States for example, if an asset such as a land or machine gets to appreciate in value after a period of time, it is not usually revalued. Therefore the answer to this question is true.

I don't know
but I will check out it later
The common stock of Alpha Manufacturers has a beta of 1.14 and an actual expected return of 15.26 percent. The risk-free rate of return is 4.3 percent and the market rate of return is 12.01 percent. Which one of the following statements is true given this information? To be correctly priced according to CAPM, the stock should have an expected return of 21.95 percent.
a. The actual expected return will graph below the Security Market Line.
b. The stock has less systematic risk than the overall market.
c. The stock is overpriced.
d. The actual expected stock return indicates the stock is currently underpriced.
Answer: d. The actual expected stock return indicates the stock is currently underpriced.
Explanation:
According to CAPM, the expected return is:
= Risk free rate + beta * (market return - risk free rate)
= 4.3% + 1.14 * (12.01% - 4.3%)
= 13.09%
The actual expected return is greater than the CAPM expected return.
This stock is underpriced because it is bringing in a higher return than CAPM predicted based on the market.

Identify each of the following features as applying more to job order operations, process operations or both job order and process operations.1. Cost object is a process. 2. Measures unit costs only at period-end. 3. Uses indirect costs. 4. Transfers costs between Work in Process Inventory accounts. 5. Uses only one Work in Process account. 6. Uses materials, labor, and overhead costs.
Answer:
Identification of Features Applying More to Job Order Operations, Process Operations, or Both:
Features
1. Cost object is a process. Process Operations
2. Measures unit costs only at period-end. Process Operations
3. Uses indirect costs. Both
4. Transfers costs between Work in
Process Inventory accounts. Process Operations
5. Uses only one Work in Process account. Job Operations
6. Uses materials, labor, and overhead costs. Both
Explanation:
The main difference between the two operations is the manner costs are accumulated. Job operations accumulate costs for different jobs that are not similar. Process operations accumulate costs to show the process a product passes through. The product of a process operation is not unique like the product of a job operation.

Opening Finished goods inventory $32,400
Add cost of goods manufactured $122,900
Less Closing Finished goods inventory ($26,400)
Cost of goods sold $128,900
therefore,
The cost of goods sold for the year is $128,900.
Song, Inc., uses the high-low method to analyze cost behavior. The company observed that at 22,000 machine hours of activity, total maintenance costs averaged $33.40 per hour. When activity jumped to 25,000 machine hours, which was still within the relevant range, the average total cost per machine hour was $30.40.On the basis of this information, the variable cost per machine hour was:___________A. $8.40.B. $22.00.C. $25.00.D. $30.40.E. $33.40.
Answer:
Variable cost per unit= $8.4
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the total cost for each level of machine hours:
Low activity level:
Total cost= 22,000*33.4= $734,800
High activity level:
Total cost= 25,000*30.4= $760,000
Now, we can determine the variable and fixed costs:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (760,000 - 734,800) / (25,000 - 22,000)
Variable cost per unit= $8.4
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 760,000 - (8.4*25,000)
Fixed costs= $550,000
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 734,800 - (8.4*22,000)
Fixed costs= $550,000
Marquis Company uses a weighted-average perpetual inventory system.
August 2 10 units were purchased at $12 per unit.
August 18 15 units were purchased at $14 per unit.
August 29 12 units were sold.
What is the amount of the cost of goods sold for this sale?
a. $121.38.b. $106.00.c. $160.00.
Answer:
The correct answer is "$136.44"
Explanation:
According to the question,
Total units will be:
= [tex]10 \ unit+15 \ unit[/tex]
= [tex]25 \ unit[/tex]
Average cost will be:
= [tex]\frac{[(10\times 12)+(15\times 14)]}{29}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{120+210}{29}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{330}{29}[/tex]
= [tex]11.38[/tex] ($)
hence,
The cost of sale will be:
= [tex]Units \ sold\times Average \ cost[/tex]
= [tex]12\times 11.38[/tex]
= [tex]136.44[/tex] ($)

Lot’s Wife Manufacturing produces rear-view video systems for buses. The firm’s cost function is TC = 2,000 + 120 Q. If the systems sell for $145, what is the break-even rate of production?
Answer:
80
Explanation:
in this question we have the cost function to be
TC = 2,000 + 120 Q.
breakeven point is at total cost = total revenue
total revenue = p*q
= 145 *Q= 145Q
tc = total cost = 145Q
145Q = 2000 + 120Q
We collect like terms from this equation above
145Q-120Q= 2000
25Q = 2000
divide through by 25
Q = 2000/25
q = 80
the breakeven rate of production is 80 quantities.
To what extent are moral ideas reflect society around us, and to what extent are we free to think for ourselves about moral matters?
Answer:
Moral ideas reflect society through collective behaviors that are presented by a large part of the population. These behaviors determine how far we are free to think about moral issues, as there is a social pressure that we associate our thoughts within this collective behavior.
Explanation:
Moral ideas determine what is right and wrong within society. This makes the population organize to act and behave in accordance with these oral ideas, collectively, always encouraging what is considered correct, good and progressive. This type of concept limits the freedom of individuals to think for themselves and reach their own conclusions about moral issues and social behavior, because there is pressure for the moral ideas accepted by most members of the population to be accepted without debate. For this reason, issues such as homosexuality, abortion, euthanasia, among others, are sources of criticism for a social minority, which decides to take a stand on these issues in a way contrary to the positing revealed as a moral idea by the majority of society.
WoodCore Inc. produces an entire line of office furniture at its manufacturing facility in the United States and then ships its products for sale to various companies in Europe. WoodCore Inc. is involved in A. outsourcing. B. licensing. C. franchising. D. exporting. E. diversifying.
Answer: D. exporting
Explanation:
Exporting is the sale of goods to other countries apart from your own even though the goods being sold were produced in your own country.
Exporting works best when the country doing the exporting is capable of producing the goods being exported at a lower price than the country that it is sending to, that way the people in that country have an incentive to buy it over locally made products. WoodCore is producing in the U.S. and selling elsewhere. This is exporting.

K Company estimates that overhead costs...
K Company estimates that overhead costs for the next year will be $3,700,000 for indirect labor and $890,000 for factory utilities. The company uses direct labor hours as its overhead allocation base. Of 125,000 direct labor hours are planned for this next year, what is the company's plantwide overhead rate?
a. $0.03 per direct labor hour
b. $36.72 per direct labor hour.
c. $2960 per direct labor hour
d. $712 per direct labor hour
e. $0.14 per direct labor hour
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $36.72 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (3,700,000 + 890,000) / 125,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 4,590,000 / 125,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $36.72 per direct labor hour
g dividends paid 13500. what was the net income for the past year of the firm faces a tax rate of 30%
Answer:
A.) £27,214.29
B.) £19,250
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Andy £13500
Bevan £27500
Cheryl £13250
Deva £75000
Elliott £18750
Frankie £27500
Grace £15000
Mean income = (total sum of salaries / number of workers)
Mean income = £(13500 + 27500 + 13250 + 75000 + 18750 + 27500 + 15000) / 7
Mean income = (£190,500 / 7) = £27,214.286
B.) mean income excluding Deva's salary:
Mean income = Mean income = £(13500 + 27500 + 13250 + 18750 + 27500 + 15000) / 7
Mean income = £115,500 / 6
Mean income = £19,250
Big Chill, Inc. sells portable dehumidifier units at the current price of $184. Unit variable costs are $85. Fixed costs, made up primarily of salaries, rent, insurance and advertising, are $3,236,000. Calculate breakeven sales for Big Chill, Inc. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
Answer:
$6,014,384
Explanation:
Break even point is the level at which a firm makes neither profit nor a loss. This is the point where Profit = $0.
Break even units = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit
therefore,
Break even units = $3,236,000 ÷ ($184 x $85)
= 32,687 units
thus,
Breakeven Sales = 32,687 units x $184 = $6,014,384
The Cavendish Company is considering a project with an initial investment of $8 million that has an accounting rate of return of 25%. The project will generate an annual net cash flow of $1.75 million and annual net operating income of $2 million. What is the project's payback period?
Answer:
4 years and 2 months
Explanation:
The project's payback period is the length of time that the future cash flows take to equal the initial investment of the project.
Initial Investment = $8 million
Annual cash flows = $1.75 million
It will take 4 years and 2 months ($1 million /$8 million x 12) for annual cashflows to equal the Initial Investment of $8 million.
