Answer:
1. y = $255 + $0.15 X
2. Examples of costs that would be included in a and in b.
a - Fixed Cost
Example : Maintenance Cost over the period
b - Variable Cost
Example : Maintenance Cost after every flight
3. $435
Explanation:
linear relationship
Fist determine the high point and the low point
High : 2,300 round-trips
Low : 1,300 round-trips
Then determine the variable cost
Variable Cost = Difference between Overheads ÷ Deference in Independent variables
= ($600 - $450) ÷ (2,300 - 1,300)
= $0.15 per round-trip
Determine the fixed cost element
Fixed Cost = Total Overheads - Variable cost at a point
Choosing the Highest point this will be :
Fixed Cost = $600 - $0.15 × 2,300
= $255
Then the linear relationship y =a + bX will be : y = $255 + $0.15 X
Examples of costs that would be included in a and in b.
a - Fixed Cost
Maintenance Cost over the period
b - Variable Cost
Maintenance Cost after every flight
Operating budget for the helicopter fleet with 1,200 round-trips in the coming year
y = $255 + $0.15 X
= $255 + $0.15 × (1,200)
= $435
Using CPM, when activity times are not known with certainty, we still can determine how long it will actually take to complete the project.A. TrueB. False
Answer: False
Explanation:
Corporate performance management (CPM) refers to the various methods including metrics, processes and systems that are used in the management of business performance.
When determining how long it will take to complete a project, CPM assumes that the Activity times estimated are known with certainty. If this is not the case then under CPM, we cannot determine how long it will actually take to complete a project.

A company purchased $9,700 of merchandise on June 15 with terms of 3/10, n/45. On June 20, it returned $485 of that merchandise. On June 24, it paid the balance owed for the merchandise taking any discount it was entitled to. The cash paid on June 24 equals:______.
a. $7,968.
b. $8,342.
c. $7,925.
d. $8,170.
e. $8,600.
Answer: answer is not in the option.
The cash paid on June 24 equals $8,939
Explanation:
Amount due to be paid = Cost of Goods purchased - Cost of goods returned on June 20
= 9,700 - 485
= $ 9,215
Discount 0f 3% in 10 days = amount due x Discount percentage
= 9,215 x 3% ( 0.03)
= $ 276.45
Payment to be made on June 24 = Cash amount due - Discount amount
= 9,215 - 276.45
= $ 8938.55 ≈$8,939
The amortization of bond premium on long-term debt should be presented in a statement of cash flows (using indirect approach for operating activities) as a(n):________.
A. Deduction from net income.
B. Addition to net income.
C. Financing activity.
D. Investing activity.
Answer:
Option A: deduction from net income
Explanation:
Bonds are usually known as loans and most times also as IOUs.
Most times, bonds when they are been sold at a discount or premium, the interest expense for that duration/ period will not be the same as it differ from the change in cash resulting from payment of interest expense.
And also, If premium is amortized, the interest expense that is been included in income determination is not that big like the interest paid or becoming payable in the period. Due to the cash outflow is larger than the deduction in arriving at net income, a deduction from net income is necessary to know cash provided by operating activities usually when using the indirect approach of presenting cash flows from operating activities.

The demand curve for the product of a firm in a competitive market is ________, and the demand curve for the product of a monopolist is ________. Group of answer choices
Answer: Perfectly elastic; Downward sloping
Explanation:
The demand curve for the product of a firm in a competitive market is Perfectly elastic, and the demand curve for the product of a monopolist is Downward sloping.
The demand curve for products in a perfectly competitive market is a horizontal line indicating that it is perfectly elastic. The reason for this being that the demand curve is also the price that the market has decided to sell a product at and if any seller was to deviate from this price, their demand would drop.
In a Monopoly however, the demand curve to downward sloping to indicate that customers will demand more products if prices are lower. This is why monopolies usually have to reduce prices to make more revenue.
Wyly Inc. produces and sells a single product. The selling price of the product is $215.00 per unit and its variable cost is $66.65 per unit. The fixed expense is $405,099 per month. The break-even in monthly dollar sales is closest to:______.
a. $1,306,771.
b. $901,672.
c. $587,100.
d. $405,099.
Answer:
c. $587,100.
Explanation:
The computation of the break even sales in dollars is shown below:
Break Even Sales = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio
where,
Fixed cost is $405,099
And, the contribution margin ratio is
= (sales price - variable cost) ÷ sales price
= ($215 - $66.65) ÷ $215
= 69%
Now placing these above formulae to the given formula
= $405,099 ÷ 0.69
= $587,100
Hene, the correct option is c. $587,100
Palmer Company has $5,000,000 of 15-year maturity bonds outstanding. Each bond has a maturity value of $1,000, an annual coupon of 12.0%. The bonds can be called at any time with a premium of $50 per bond. If the bonds are called, the company must pay flotation costs of $10 per new refunding bond. Ignore tax considerations ⎯assume that the firm's tax rate is zero.The company's decision of whether to call the bonds depends critically on the current interest rate on newly issued bonds. What is the breakeven interest rate, the rate below which it would be profitable to call in the bonds?
Answer:
11.6%
Explanation:
the total cost of calling the bonds = ($50 + $10) x ($5,000,000 / $1,000) = $300,000
the bonds' coupon payment = $5,000,000 x 12% = $600,000
the company should call the bonds only if it is profitable, and the savings are equal or higher than the costs
cost of calling the bonds ≤ number of years x (coupon - rate) x total bonds
$300,000 = 15 x [$600,000 - (rate x $5,000,000)]
$300,000 / 15 = $600,000 - (rate x $5,000,000)
$20,000 = $600,000 - (rate x $5,000,000)
rate x $5,000,000 = $580,000
rate = $580,000 / $5,000,000 = 0.116 = 11.6%
A worker-machine chart determines whether worker and machine tasks are conducted effectively.

Real GDP refers to _____. rev: 04_09_2018 Multiple Choice GDP data that embodies changes in the price level but not changes in physical output GDP data that does not reflect changes in both physical output and the price level GDP data that has been adjusted for changes in the price level the value of the domestic output after adjustments have been made for environmental pollution and changes in the distribution of income
Answer: GDP data that has been adjusted for changes in the price level
Explanation:
Real GDP refers to the Nominal GDP adjusted for inflation. Nominal GDP calculates the value of final goods and services in the Economy by using the price levels of that year so if inflation has occurred, comparing it to previous years would be inaccurate.
The Real GDP would use the price levels of a base year to calculate the GDP of the current year so that the effect of inflation may be negated and the real growth of the economy can be seen.
The last four years of returns for a stock are as follows: Year 1 2 3 4 Return −4.5% 28.1% 12.2% 3.7% a. What is the average annual return? b. What is the variance of the stock's returns? c. What is the standard deviation of the stock's returns?
Answer:
a. What is the average annual return?
average annual return (mean) = (-4.5% + 28.1% + 12.2% + 3.7%) / 4 = 9.875%
b. What is the variance of the stock's returns?
variance = [(-4.5% - 9.875%)² + (28.1% - 9.875%)² + (12.2% - 9.875%)²) + (3.7% - 9.875%)²] / 4 = (206.64 + 332.15 + 5.41 + 38.13) / 4 = 582.33 / 4 = 145.5825
c. What is the standard deviation of the stock's returns?
standard deviation = √145.5825 = 12.06%
A correlation coefficient of zero indicates Question 38 options: a) there is no correlation and no risk reduction when the projects are combined. b) the projects have the same expected value. c) there is no correlation, but there is some risk reduction when the projects are combined. d) the projects have the same standard deviation.
Answer: c) there is no correlation, but there is some risk reduction when the projects are combined.
Explanation:
The correlation coefficient measures the relationship between the movement of two assets. If they are positively correlated, the assets will move in the same direction. If they are negatively correlated, the assets will move in opposite directions.
When the correlation is zero though then there will be no correlation. That does not mean that there will be no risk attached however because investing in both can still lead to a loss if both assets are affected by the same event.
The only riskless investment would be those that are perfectly negatively correlated because then you would be sure that when one makes a loss in one, a gain will definitely be made in the other.

McQuilkin and Copan adopt different positions toward capitalism and socialism. Which author is more favorable to free market capitalism
Answer:
Paul Copan
Explanation:
Dr. Robertson McQuilkin can be considered a very biblical man, and as such, would always favor socialism more than free market capitalism. His phrase "Capitalism is for freedom, socialism is for equality" and the fact that he believed in a strict following of the Bible, you make him a more socialist person.
Dr. Paul Copan is also a very religious man, but his views are less extreme than Dr. McQuilkin's. He is more pragmatic and argues in favor of religion from a more neutral or agnostic point of view. He even argues that religious beliefs and economics are not mutually exclusive.

(Round the answer to two decimal places. )
A) 30.81
B) 11.54
C) 13.85
D) 16.22
Answer: D) 16.22
Explanation:
Price Earnings ratio = Market Value per share / Earnings per share
Earnings Per Share
[tex]\frac{Net Income - Preferred Dividend}{Average Common Stock} \\= \frac{104,000 - 30,000}{\frac{32,000 + 48,000}{2} } \\= \frac{74,000}{40,000} \\= 1.85[/tex]
Price Earnings ratio = Market Value per share / Earnings per share

"A couple wants to invest for the college education of their 2 children, currently ages 1 and 3. They estimate they will need to start using the funds to pay for college in 15 years. The BEST recommendation is to invest in:"
Answer: b. 10 year treasury notes
Explanation:
All options listed are backed by the US Government so the couple will not have to worry about any of these options not paying them in time for their kids to go for college.
The best option would be the 10 year Treasury notes because the other options either mature way sooner than the 15 required years ( treasury bills mature in a year) or after the required 15 years ( 20 and 30 year treasury bonds).
When the 10 year note matures in 10 years, the proceeds if not enough, can be further invested in a 5 year note thereby ensuring that the payment for college will be received in 15 years.
For each of the following, indicate whether the idea is most closely associated with the first industrial revolution, the second industrial revolution, neither, or both. Mechanization The possibility of traveling from coast to coast in the US in under a week Feedback loops
1. First Industrial Revolution The internet
2. Second Industrial Revolution The flying shuttle
3. Neither The steam engine
4. Both Railroads Telegraph A technological (as opposed to political) revolution
Answer:
The possibility of traveling from coast to coast in the US in under a week ⇒ SECOND INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTIONFeedback loops ⇒ BOTHThe internet ⇒ NEITHERThe flying shuttle ⇒ NEITHERThe steam engine ⇒ FIRST INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTIONRailroads ⇒ BOTHTelegraph ⇒ SECOND INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION A technological (as opposed to political) revolution ⇒ SECOND INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTIONExplanation:
The first industrial revolution took place between 1760-1830 (roughly) and its main characteristics were the industrialization of production processes using stream power.
The second industrial revolution took place between 1870-1914 (beginning of WWI). Production processes were enhanced as well as the production of steel. Even though some systems were invented much earlier, during the second industrial revolution they became "popular" and were adopted in many places and became common things, e.g. railroad networks, telegraph and telephone, water systems, sewage, electricity, and even pencils.
Which of the following accurately represents the "split cost" for analyzing the direct materials flexible budget variance?
A) Actual Quantity x Actual Price
B) Actual Quantity x Standard Price
C) Standard Quantity x Actual Price
D) Standard Quantity x Standard Price
E) None of the above
Answer: B. Actual Quantity x Standard Price
Explanation:
The split cost" for analyzing the direct materials flexible budget variance is represented by the actual quantity multiplied by the standard price.
It should be noted that the flexible budget variance is denoted as the difference that occurs between the results which are gotten through the model of the flexible budget and the actual results.
Tennill Incorporated has a $1,400,000 investment opportunity with the following characteristics: Sales $ 4,480,000 Contribution margin ratio 40% of sales Fixed expenses $ 1,657,600 The return on investment (ROI) for this year's investment opportunity considered alone is closest to:
Answer:
9.6%
Explanation:
Tennill incorporation has an investment of $1,400,000
Sales is $4,480,000
Fixed expenses is $1,657,600
The first step is to calculate the contribution margin ratio
= 40/100×4,480,000
= 0.4×4,480,000
= 1,792,000
The variable cost can be calculated as follows
=Sales-CM
= 4,480,000-1,792,000
= 2,688,000
Net profit = Sales-Fixed cost-Variable cost
= 4,480,000-(1,657,600+2,688,000)
= 4,480,000-4,345,600
= 134,400
Therefore the ROI can be calculated as follows
= Net profit/investment × 100
= 134,400/1,400,000 × 100
=0.096×100
= 9.6%
Hence the return on investment for this year's investment opportunity considered alone is closest to 9.6%
Minor Electric has received a special one-time order for 600 light fixtures (units) at $8 per unit. Minor currently produces and sells 3,000 units at $9.00 each. This level represents 75% of its capacity. Production costs for these units are $9.00 per unit, which includes $6.00 variable cost and $3.00 fixed cost. To produce the special order, a new machine needs to be purchased at a cost of $550 with a zero salvage value. Management expects no other changes in costs as a result of the additional production. If Minor wishes to earn $850 on the special order, the size of the order would need to be:
Answer:
700 units
Explanation:
Calculation for the what the size of the order will be.
Using this formula
Unit to sell= Total additional fixed costs + desired profit / Contribution margin per unit=
Let plug in the formula
Units to sell=$550 + $850 / (8-6)
Units to sell= $1,400/2
Units to sell=700 units
Therefore the size of the order will be 700 units

Answer:
Select the best description of the incentive for each of the following participants based on the current U.S. health-care system:
Consumers will ______________
c. request as much treatment as possible to maximize healthcare benefits
Producers will _______________
b. prescribe as much treatment as possible to increase profit
Intermediaries will ______________
b. allow as few treatments as possible to maximize profit.
Explanation:
The current US healthcare system is acclaimed worldwide as very expensive. It is controlled by capitalistic tendencies where healthcare providers are more interested in maximising their profits rather than maximizing healthcare benefits. Since the US government does not provide health benefits to citizens or visitors, the costs for rendering healthcare are not being monitored and controlled. Unfortunately, to see your primary care provider (PCP), it may take several days before you are attended to after booking an appointment with the organization. The only rescue available these days is the technological innovation provided by telemedicine.

Collegiate Rings
The actual cost per gram of the special alloy that Collegiate Rings purchased last month is $65.20
Explanation:
Calculations:
Actual Cost per gram of special alloy = Total Actual Cost/Total Actual Quantity
= 567,240/8,700 grams
= $65.2
This value represents the cost of the special alloy per gram. It is obtained as calculated above. Price or cost per unit is always equal to the actual cost divided by the total quantity. The actual cost will be equal to the price charged by the supplier less any discounts or special allowances.
The manufacturing costs of Ackerman Industries for the first three months of the year follow:
Total Costs Units Produced
January $1,900,000 20,000 units
February 2,250,000 27,000
March 2,400,000 30,000
Using the high-low method, determine (a) the variable cost per unit and (b) the total fixed cost. Round all answers to the nearest whole dollar.
a. Variable cost per unit $
b. Total fixed cost $
Answer:
a. $50
b. $500,000
Explanation:
The computation of the fixed cost and the variable cost per unit by using high low method is shown below:
a. Variable cost per unit = (High total cost - low total cost) ÷ (High number of units produced - low number of units produced)
= ($2,400,000 - $1,900,000) ÷ (30,000 units - 20,000 units )
= $500,000 ÷ 10,000 units
= $50
b. Now the fixed cost equal to
= High total cost - (High number of units produced × Variable cost per unit)
= $2,400,000 - (30,000 units × $50)
= $2,400,000 - $1,500,000
= $900,000
