Answer:
explains most of the differences in the standard of living across countries.
Explanation:
Gross Domestic Products (GDP) is a measure of the total market value of all finished goods and services made within a country during a specific period.
Simply stated, GDP is a measure of the total income of all individuals in an economy and the total expenses incurred on the economy's output of goods and services in a particular country.
Basically, the four (4) major expenditure categories of GDP are consumption (C), investment (I), government purchases (G), and net exports (N).
Productivity is a measure of how efficient is the manufacturing of finished goods and services in a country. Thus, it's a measure of total output with respect to input such as capital, labour, and other resources.
Generally, productivity is a ratio of output (product) to the resources (input) that is required to produce the product and as such determines the economic output of a particular country, as well as the standard of living of its population.
Hence, productivity explains most of the differences in the standard of living across countries based on the value of output generated with a unit of input.
Rickett Corporation had a favorable direct-labor efficiency variance of $6,000 for the period just ended. The actual wage rate was $0.50 more than the standard rate of $12.00. If the company's standard hours allowed for actual production totaled 9,500, how many hours did the firm actually work
Answer:
Actual Quantity= 9,000 hours
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct-labor efficiency variance= $6,000 favorable
Standard rate= $12.00.
Standard quantity= 9,500
To calculate the actual hours worked, we need to use the following formula.
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
6,000 = (9,500 - Actual Quantity)*12
6,000= 114,000 - 12Actual Quantity
12Actual Quantity = 108,000
Actual Quantity= 9,000 hours

Explanation:
In a pizza industry, the cost of the factory is a (fixed cost) only in the short run but not in the long run.
(Average fixed cost) is always falling as the quantity of output increases.
A cost that depends on the quantity produced is a (variable cost).
The term (opportunity cost) refers to all the things you must give up for taking some action.
The term (explicit cost) refers to costs that involve direct monetary payment by the firm.
(Average variable cost) is falling when marginal cost is below it and rising when marginal cost is above it.
The balance sheets of Davidson Corporation reported net fixed assets of $340,000 at the end of 2016. The fixed-asset turnover ratio for 2016 was 3.0, and sales for the year totaled $1,440,000. Net fixed assets at the end of 2015 were:_________
a) $760,000.
b) $480,000.
c) $620,000.
d) None of these answer choices are correct.
Answer:
$620,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what Net fixed assets at the end of 2015 were:
$1,440,000 / Average fixed assets
$1,440,000 / $480,000=3.0
Net fixed assets =[(340,000 + x) / 2] = $480,000
Solve for x
Net fixed assets= $620,000
Therefore Net fixed assets at the end of 2015 were:$620,000
a. By how much would government spending have to rise to shift the aggregate demand curve rightward by $25 billion
Answer: $2.5 billion
Explanation:
You need to first calculate the multiplier.
The multiplier is the amount that shows the effect of an increase in government spending on the aggregate demand of a country.
It is calculated as:
= 1 / ( 1 - MPC)
= 1 / ( 1 - 0.9)
= 10
Increase in aggregate demand = Government spending * multiplier
25 billion = G * 10
G = 25 billion / 10
= $2.5 billion
Minden Company introduced a new product last year for which it is trying to find an optimal selling price. Marketing studies suggest that the company can increase sales by 5,000 units for each $2 reduction in the selling price. The company’s present selling price is $93 per unit, and variable expenses are $63 per unit. Fixed expenses are $830,700 per year. The present annual sales volume (at the $93 selling price) is 25,500 units.
Required:
1. What is the present yearly net operating income or loss?
2. What is the present break-even point in unit sales and in dollar sales?
3. Assuming that the marketing studies are correct, what is the maximum annual profit that the company can earn? At how many units and at what selling price per unit would the company generate this profit?
Answer:
1. The present yearly net operating loss is $65,700
2. Break even point in unit sales is 27,690 units, in dollars sales $2,575,170.00
3. The maximum annual profit that the company can earn is $23,300, at 30,500 units with a selling price per unit of $91
Explanation:
At breakeven point, the cost and revenue of the company are same such that the company neither a profit nor a loss. Operating profit or loss is the difference between the revenue and the cost of the company.
The cost of the company usually consist of the fixed and variable elements.
Given that the company’s present selling price is $93 per unit, and variable expenses are $63 per unit. Fixed expenses are $830,700 per year with present annual sales volume (at the $93 selling price) is 25,500 units
Hence the operating profit or (loss)
= $93 * 25,500 - ($63 * 25,500 + $830,700)
= $765,000 - $830,700
= ($65,700)
A loss of $65,700
Break even point in unit sales = Fixed costs / (Selling price per unit – Variable cost per unit)
= $830,700 / ($93 - $63)
= $830,700 / $30
= 27,690 units
In dollar sales
= $93 * 27,690
= $2,575,170.00
if the marketing studies are correct then the new selling price per unit will be
= $93 - $2
= $91
The units sold will be
= 5000 + 25,500
= 30,500 units
The maximum profit to be made
= $91 * 30,500 - ($63 * 30,500 + $830,700)
= $854,000 - $830,700
= $23,300
Collingsworth, Inc. produces 3 products: AKM, BWT, and CPQ. Product AKM requires 700 purchase orders, Product BWT requires 1,080 purchase orders, and Product CPQ requires 1,720 purchase orders. The company has identified an ordering and receiving activity cost pool with allocated overhead of $504,000 for which the cost driver is purchase orders. How much ordering and receiving overhead is assigned to Product AKM
Answer:
Allocated MOH= $100,800
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined allocation rate for ordering and receiving:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Ordering and receiving= 504,000 / (700 + 1,080 + 1,720)
Ordering and receiving= $144 per order
Now, we allocate to product AKM:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 144*700
Allocated MOH= $100,800

At the present time, Tamin Co. does not have any preferred stock outstanding but is looking to include preferred stock un its capital structure in the future. Tamin has found some institutional investors that are willing to purchase its preferred stock issue provided that it pays a perpetual dividend of $13 per share. If the investors pay $130.45 per share, Taemin's cost of preferred stock will _____.
a. 11.5%
b. 10.0%
c. 9.5%
d. 9.0%
Answer:
Dividends are fixed. ⇒ Consistent with Debt
Fixed dividends makes preferred shares consistent with debt because debt repayments are made in equal payments as well.
Usually has no specified maturity date ⇒ Consistent with Equity.
Equity has no set maturity date unlike debt and preferred stock has no maturity date either so is much like equity in this regard.
Cost of preferred stock.
Preferred stock is like a perpetuity. The cost of preferred stock is therefore:
= Constant dividend / Price of stock
= 13 / 130.45
= 9.97%
= 10%

a. $240.00
b. $154.50
c. $48.00
d. $338.40
Answer:
a. $240.00
Explanation:
Total variable overhead estimated = $3 * 30,900
Total variable overhead estimated = $92,700
Total overhead estimated = Total variable overhead estimated + Total fixed overhead estimated
Total overhead estimated = $92,700 + $154,500
Total overhead estimated = $247,200
Predetermined overhead rate = $247,200 / 30,900
Predetermined overhead rate = $8
Total machine-hours = 30
Amount of overhead applied to Job T687:
= $8 * 30 hours
= $240.00

g Taraj is considering changing careers. She has heard about opportunities with supply chain, but is unsure what the industry really is. How would you describe a supply chain?
Answer:
A supply chain refers to a network that involves the production and delivery of goods or services from the manufacturer to the end user (consumer).
Explanation:
Supply chain management can be defined as the effective and efficient management of the flow of goods and services as well as all of the production processes involved in the transformation of raw materials into finished products that meet the insatiable want and need of the consumers. Generally, the supply chain management involves all the activities associated with planning, execution and supply of finished goods and services to the consumers.
The key principle of supply chain management can be best summed up as collaboration between multiple firms. These multiple firms include a company that is saddled with the responsibility of manufacturing, a wholesaler, and a retailer who typically sells the products to the customers or consumers.
Basically, these three (3) firms or individuals are required to collaborate with each other so as to meet the needs of the customers in a timely manner or fashion and at a fair price too.
Generally, the four (4) stages of a supply chain include the following;

Alliances are often used to pursue business-level goals, but they may be managed at the corporate level. Explain why this portfolio approach to alliance management would make sense.
Answer:
mainly because of information
Explanation:
This approach makes sense mainly because of information. Business-level goals are all about performance and profit. Corporate is made up of individuals that are invested in the company itself. They have all the information on what the company wants to accomplish, long-term strategies being used, available resources, etc. Most of this information is closed off to the rest of the company and only available to those in Corporate. This information is what leads to informed decisions which allow for the best, most efficient, and most profitable choices to be made.

The loss of benefits after two years will result in the distribution of income becoming _______ equal.
Answer:
more
less
more
Explanation:
The limit on unemployment benefits would increase the incentives to find a job because after the 2 years period is over, those without jobs would get no benefits from the government.
Income distribution becomes more unequal because those who don't find jobs after the 2 year period would have no income
The economy would become more efficient because there would be an increase in the number of people employed as a result of the policy and output would increase.

Layton Corp. has a $2,000 par value bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 4.6 percent paid semiannually and 13 years to maturity. The yield to maturity of the bond is 3.8 percent. What is the dollar price of the bond
Answer:
Bond Price= $2,162.94
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Par value= $2,000
YTM= 0.038/2= 0.019
Coupon= (0.046/2)*2,000= $46
Years to maturity= 13*2= 26
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to use the following formula:
Bond Price= cupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]
Bond Price= 46*{[1 - (1.019^-26)] / 0.019} + [2,000 / (1.019^26)]
Bond Price= 936.91 + 1,226.03
Bond Price= $2,162.94

Corporate social responsibility occurs when organizations contribute to societal goals by supporting practices that are ethically oriented and have a positive effect on the economy.
Since Patagonia donates at least 1% of profits to support environmental causes and is contributing positively to the economy, then Patagonia is practicing corporate social responsibility practices.
Jensen Company purchased a new machine on January 1, 2018, at a cost of $104,000. The company estimated that the machine has a salvage value of $8,000. The machine is expected to be used for 80,000 working hours during its 8-year life.
Compute depreciation using the Double-declining method for 2018:
Straight-line for 2018 and 2019, assuming a December 31 year-end.
unit of activity
depriciation
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $80,000
Salvage value= $8,000
Useful life= 8 years
To calculate the annual depreciation under the double-declining balance method, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]
2018:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(80,000 - 8,000) / 8]
Annual depreciation= $18,000
Now, the straight-line method:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (80,000 - 72,000) / 8
Annual depreciation= $9,000
It remains constant during useful life.
Finally, the units-of-activity method (suppose 15,000 hours):
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in hours]*hours operated
Annual depreciation= [(80,000 - 8,000) / 80,000]*15,000
Annual depreciation= $13,500
Depreciation refers to the reduction in the value of asset over time and such valued reduction are reflected in the Balance sheet at year ended.
Machine usage period is 3 month (1st October 2017 - 31st December 2017)Computing the Straight-line depreciation for 2017 and 2018
Depreciation for 2017 = (Cost - Salvage value) / Useful Life
Depreciation for 2017 = (104,000 - 8,000) /8
Depreciation for 2017 = $96,000 / 8
Depreciation for 2017 = $12,000 per year
For the 3 month, Depreciation for 2017 = $12,000*3/12 = $3,000
Depreciation for 2018 = (Cost - Salvage) / Useful Life
Depreciation for 2018 = ($104,000 - $8,000) /8
Depreciation for 2018= $96,00 ) /8
Depreciation for 2018 = 12000
Computing the Declining-balance using double the straight-line rate for 2017 and 2018
Useful life = 8 Year
Straight line Depreciation % = 1/8
Straight line Depreciation = 0.125
Straight line Depreciation = 12.50%
Depreciation Rate = 2 * 12.50
Depreciation Rate = 25%
Depreciation for Year 2017 = $104,000*25%*3/12
Depreciation Rate = $6,500
Depreciation for Year 2018 = ($104,000 - $6,500)*20%
Depreciation for Year 2018 = $24,375
