Answer:
The correct option is d. Increase by $19,500.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Pluto Incorporated provided the following information regarding its single product:
Direct materials used = $240,000
Direct labor incurred = $420,000
Variable manufacturing overhead = $160,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead = $100,000
Variable selling and administrative expenses = $60,000
Fixed selling and administrative expenses = $20,000
The regular selling price for the product is $80. The annual quantity of units produced and sold is 40,000 units (the costs above relate to the 40,000 units production level). The company has excess capacity and regular sales will not be affected by this special order. There was no beginning inventory.
What would be the effect on operating income of accepting a special order for 1,000 units at a sale price of $40 per product? Note: The special order units would not require any variable selling and administrative expenses.
a. Decrease by $19,500
b. Decrease by $18,000
c. Increase by $18,000
d. Increase by $19,500
The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
We first calculate the expected total relevant cost of the special order as follows:
Direct materials cost per unit = Direct materials used / Annual units = $240,000 / 40,000 = $6.00
Direct labor cost per unit = Direct labor incurred / Annual units = $420,000 / 40,000 = $10.50
Variable manufacturing overhead per unit = Variable manufacturing overhead / Annual units = $160,000 / 40,000 = $4.00
Expected special order total relevant cost = (Direct materials cost per unit + Direct labor cost per unit + Variable manufacturing overhead per unit) * Special order units = ($6.00 + $10.50 + $4.00) * 1,000 = $20.50 * 1,000 = $20,500
Expected revenue from the special order = Special order units * Special order selling price per unit = 1,000 * $40 = $40,000
Expected profit from the special order = Expected revenue from the special order - Expected special order total relevant cost = $40,000 - $20,500 = $19,500
Since the expected profit from the special order is $19,500, it therefore implies that accepting it would increase operating income by $19,500.
Therefore, the correct option is d. Increase by $19,500.
for product costs to become expenses under the matching principle, the units to which they attach must be
Answer: Sold

Suppose the demand for apples becomes more elastic. All else equal, this means that the same change in price will result in
Answer:
a greater change in quantity demanded
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
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.
What is the impact of a strong dollar relative to the peso for a U.S. consumer buying a car produced in Mexico
Answer: a. The car should be less expensive for the U.S. consumer.

December 31, 2X12
Dr. Land Account ______50,000 pounds
Cr. Appreciation on Land 50,000 pounds
Explanation:
As Land is recorded at the value of $50,000 and it is needed to be appreciated on December 31,2X12.
The appreciation will increase the value of the land so the land account will be debited as it is a fixed asset account that has debit nature.
On the other hand, the appreciation on the land account will be credit because it is an unrecognized income/gain account that will be reported as other comprehensive income.
Adjustment = Appreciated Value - Carrying Value = 100,000 pounds - 50,000 pounds = 50,000 pounds
Note: As depreciation is not applicable on the land so, the carrying value on December 31, 2X10 will be the same on December 31,2X12 before adjustment.

What is meant when economists say that the US economy has a higher safe speed limit than it had previously
Answer:
When economists say that the US economy has a higher safe speed limit than it had previously, it means that:
Overheating the US economy does not produce high inflation.
Explanation:
The US economy is being overheated through rapid economic expansions. Some of these expansions are engendered by rapid technological changes. The US government also often indulge in aggressive economic expansions by ensuring maximum employment and capacity utilization. But these measures have been found to not distort the economy with high inflation rates. As a result, an economist can conclude that "the US economy has a higher safe speed limit than it had previously."

Jane has $500 a week to spend on clothing and food. The price of clothing is $25 and the price of food is $10. The clothing and food pairs in Jane's choice set include ________ units of clothing and ________ units of food.
Answer:
12
20
Explanation:
Here are the options to this question :
A. 10, 10
B) 25, 5
C) 12; 20
D) 16, 8
If Jane buys 10 units of clothing and 10 units of food : (10 x $25) + (10 x $10) = $350. This doesn't maximise his income
If Jane buys 25 units of clothing and 5 units of food : (25 x $25) + (5 x $10) = $675. This is greater than income
If Jane buys 12 units of clothing and 20 units of food : (12 x $25) + (20 x $10) = $500. This maximises income
If Jane buys 16 units of clothing and 8 units of food : (16 x $25) + (8 x $10) = $480. This doesn't maximise his income
ear, Inc. generates a $100,000 net operating loss in the current year. Plum, Inc. generates $500,000 of taxable income. Compute the current year tax if Pear and Plum do/do not file a consolidated return.
Answer:
Consolidated=$84,000
Not consolidated= $105,000
Explanation:
Computation for the current year tax if Pear and Plum do/do not file a consolidated return.
Computation for Consolidated
Taxable income = ($500,000 - $100,000) x 21%
Taxable income =$400,000×21%
Taxable income = $84,000
Computation for Not consolidated
Not consolidated= $500,000 x 21%
Not consolidated= $105,000
Therefore the current year tax if Pear and Plum do/do not file a consolidated return will be :
Consolidated=$84,000
Not consolidated= $105,000

Marcy Company did not pay any dividends in 2004. In 2005, they declared and paid total dividends of $4,000, and in 2006, they declared total dividends of $20,000. How much dividends will be paid to preferred and common stockholders in 2006
Answer:
Dividends paid to preferred and common stockholders in 2006 will be :
Preferred stockholders get $20,000
Common stockholders get $0
Explanation:
Hie , I have attached the full question as an image below.
Preferred Stockholders received their dividends first before the common stockholders do. This is because the Preferred Equity have first preference when it comes to payments of dividends.
Also, when the dividends are cumulative, it means that the previous amounts of dividends not paid are payable in future when the distribution is made. Preference dividends are payable as a fixed amount of stocks outstanding during the reporting period.
That said, the amounts of dividends to be paid to preferred and common stockholders in 2006 can be calculated as follows :
2004
Dividends Declared = $0
Preference dividends Payable = ($100,000 + $250,000) × 6 % = $21,000
Paid to Common Shareholders = $ 0
2005
Dividends Declared = $4,000
Paid to Preference Shareholders = $4,000
Paid to Common Shareholders = $ 0
Payable to Preference Shareholders = $17,000 (2004) + $21,000 (2005) = $38,000
2006
Dividends Declared = $20,000
Paid to Preference Shareholders = $20,000
Paid to Common Shareholders = $ 0
Payable to Preference Shareholders = $18,000 (2005) + $21,000 (2006) = $39,000
What amount is recorded for a nonmonetary asset acquired in exchange for another nonmonetary asset when the exchange has commercial substance
Answer:
The fair value of the asset given up, with a gain or loss recognized.
Explanation:
In Financial accounting, Accounts Receivable are considered to be a current asset because it is the payment a business firm would receive from its customers for goods purchased or services taken on credit. Also, accounts receivable are recorded in the current assets section of the balance sheet because they add value to a business firm.
Generally, current assets are considered to be liquid because they are listed on the balance sheet in the order (descending) in which they are expected to turn or be converted to cash within a relatively short term period.
The amount recorded for a nonmonetary asset acquired in exchange for another nonmonetary asset when the exchange has commercial substance is the fair value of the asset given up, with a gain or loss recognized.
Additionally, the par value of an asset such as a bond is its face value and it comprises of its total dollar amount as well as its maturity value. Also, the par value of a bond gives the basis on which periodic interest is paid.
A bond is issued at par value when the market rate of interest is the same as the contract rate of interest. This simply means that, a bond would be issued at par (face) value when the bond's stated rated is significantly equal to the effective or market interest rate on the specific date it was issued.
