Answer:
Relative-price changes, like inflation, can cause price pressure in an economy. Relative-price changes are not a monetary phenomenon. They arise in market economies as individual prices adjust to the ebb and flow of the supply and demand for various goods. Relative-price movements convey important information about the scarcity of particular goods and services. A rising relative price indicates that demand is outstripping supply (or that supply is falling behind demand), while a falling relative price denotes just the opposite. A rising relative price induces consumers to conserve on the good in question and to look for substitutes. A rising relative price also, by increasing profit opportunities, entices producers to bring more of the good in question to market.
In this way, relative-price changes—no matter how uncomfortable they are for consumers or producers—transmit vital information necessary for the efficient allocation of resources throughout any market economy. Inflation, by contrast, contributes no information useful to our consumption, production, or labor choices. If anything, inflation can temporarily distort vital relative-price signals, leading people to make unsound economic choices. It can even cause people to shift their time and resources away from activities that foster production and long-term economic growth to activities intended to protect their wealth rather than expand it.
Dawson Toys, Ltd., produces a toy called the Maze. The company has recently created a standard cost system to help control costs and has established the following standards for the Maze toy: Direct materials: 7 microns per toy at $0.32 per micron Direct labor: 1.2 hours per toy at $7.20 per hour During July, the company produced 4,600 Maze toys. The toy's production data for the month are as follows: Direct materials: 80,000 microns were purchased at a cost of $0.30 per micron. 39,750 of these microns were still in inventory at the end of the month. Direct labor: 5,920 direct labor-hours were worked at a cost of $46,768.
Required:
1. Compute the following variances for July:
a. The materials price and quantity variances
Material price variance ______
Material quantity variance ______
b. The labor rate and efficiency variances.
Labor rate variance _____
Labor efficiency variance ______
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the direct material rate and quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (0.32 - 0.3)*80,000
Direct material price variance= $1,600 favorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (7*4,600 - 40,250)*0.32
Direct material quantity variance= $2,576 unfavorable
To calculate the direct labor efficiency and rate variances, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (1.2*4,600 - 5,920)*7.2
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $2,880 unfavorable
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (7.2 - 7.9)*5,920
Direct labor rate variance= $4,144 unfavorable
Actual rate= 46,768/5,920= $7.9
If x follows a normal distribution with a mean of 10 and
standard deviation of 3; find out the following
A) Find the value of x = xº such that P(x 5 xº) = 5%
B) Find the value of x = xº such that P(x 2 x°) = 1%
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
The z score is used to determine by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. The z score is given by:
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\\\where\ x=raw\ score, \mu=mean,\ \sigma=standard\ deviation[/tex]
a) P(x ≥ x⁰) = P(z ≥ z⁰) = 1 - P(z < z⁰)
1 - P(z < z⁰) = 1%
P(z < z⁰) = 99%
z⁰ = 2.33
z° = (x° - μ)/σ
2.33 = (x° - 10)/3
x⁰ = 16.99
b) P(x ≥ x⁰) = P(z ≥ z⁰) = 1 - P(z < z⁰)
1 - P(z < z⁰) = 10%
P(z < z⁰) = 90%
z⁰ = 1.28
z° = (x° - μ)/σ
1.28 = (x° - 10)/3
x⁰ = 13.84
c) P(x ≥ x⁰) = P(z ≥ z⁰) = 1 - P(z < z⁰)
1 - P(z < z⁰) = 5%
P(z < z⁰) = 95%
z⁰ = 1.65
z° = (x° - μ)/σ
1.65 = (x° - 10)/3
x⁰ = 14.95
Maxim Corp. has provided the following information about one of its products:Date Transaction Number of Units Cost per Unit1/1 Beginning Inventory 285 $ 157 6/5 Purchase 485 $ 177 11/10 Purchase 185 $ 217 During the year, Maxim sold 570 units.What is cost of goods sold using the average cost method? (Do not round intermediate computations.)
Answer:
$101,904.6
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of goods sold using the average cost method is shown below:
Beginnig Inventory 285 at $157 = $44,745
Purchases 485 at $177 = $85,845
Purchases 185 at $217 = $40,145
Total cost = $170,735
Now
Total number of units is
= 285 + 485 + 185
= 955
Now
Average Cost per unit is
= $170,735 ÷ 955
=$ 178.78
And, finally
Cost of goods Sold is
= 570 × $178.78
= $101,904.6
Lee Ann, Inc., has declared a $5.70 per-share dividend. Suppose capital gains are not taxed, but dividends are taxed at 20 percent. New IRS regulations require that taxes be withheld when the dividend is paid. The company's stock sells for $94.15 per share and is about to go ex-dividend.
Required:
What do you think the ex-dividend price will be?
Answer:
$89.59
Explanation:
After tax dividend = Dividend * (1-Tax)
After tax dividend = $5.70 * (1-20%)
After tax dividend = $5.70 * 0.8
After tax dividend = $4.56
Ex-Dividend price = Share price - After tax dividend
Ex-Dividend price = $94.15 - $4.56
Ex-Dividend price = $89.59
Comparing medieval Japan, Rorea, and Vieta Imagine that you are a graduate student working with the diary of a twelfth-century merchant from Song China. In this diary, the merchant recorded his impressions of his first visits to Korea, Japan, and Vietnam. After carefully translating the diary, you hand it to your professor, who slips and throws all the papers into the air. It is now your job to organize the diary correctly. Read the following descriptions and select whether they apply to Korea, Japan, or Vietnam.
Description 1
The people here were among the first to adopt an innovation called woodblock printing. Artisans carve characters onto woodblocks, which can be rearranged to print papers, pamphlets, and even books quickly and easily. Their cartographers have created regional and world maps based on our models.
Description 2
The people from this southern kingdom have created an adaptation of Chinese characters. This is a written system to represent the spoken language, but also used to compose essays and poetry.
Description 3 The people seem to have copied our building techniques and architecture, but they do so artfully. Centuries ago, Buddhists from all across Asia traveled to this land to visit the Todaiji temple.
Answer:
Comparing Medieval Japan, Korea, and Vietnam
Description 1 applies to Korea.
Description 2 applies to Vietnam.
Description 3 applies to Japan.
Explanation:
The Todaiji Temple is located in Japan. This sets description 3 apart for Japan. The southern kingdom refers to Vietnam located in the South-east Asia. Vietnam is known to have been ruled by China for over a thousand years, and the Vietnamese language is written based on Chinese characters. This matches with description 2. Korea, which is located in the Northeast Asia, matches description 1. Moreover, the Korean language is a multisyllabic language, unlike the Chinese that is monosyllabic.

c. Changes in consumption can be predicted by multiplying the change in by the If the MPC ___________
Answer:
A. Disposable income
B. Marginal Propensity to Consume
C. Change in Disposable Income by the Marginal Propensity to Consume.
Explanation:
The consumption will increase by $800
Explanation:
The consumption function shows the relationship between consumption spending and disposable income.
The slope of the consumption function is the marginal propensity to consume.
Changes in consumption can be predicted by multiplying the change in disposable income by the marginal propensity to consume.
GIVEN that: MPC = 0.60
Disposable income increases by $1,500
consumption increase = 0.60*$1500
= $900
Therefore, The consumption will increase by $900.

Joyce Murphy runs a courier service in downtown Seattle. She charges clients $0.50 per mile driven. Joyce has determined that if she drives 3,300 miles in a month, her total operating cost is $875. If she drives 4,400 miles in a month, her total operating cost is $1,095.
Required:
1. Using the high-low method, determine Joyce's variable and fixed operating cost components.
2. Complete the contribution margin income statement for Joyce's service assuming she drove 3,700 miles last month. (Assume this falls within the relevant range of operations).
Answer:
Variable operating cost per mile = $0.2
Fixed operating cost = $215
Income at 3,700 miles = $895
Explanation:
The variable cost per mile =
(cost at high activity - cost at low activity)/(high activity - low activity)
Fixed operating cost = cost at high activity - (VC/mile × high activity)
So we can apply the formulae as follows:
The variable cost per mile = (1,095 - 875)/(4,400-3,300)= $0.2 per mile
Fixed cost = $1,095 - (0.2×4,400)=$215
Variable operating cost per mile = $0.2
Fixed operating cost = $215
Contribution margin income statement
$
Sales value = (3,700 miles × $0.50 per mile) 1,850
Variable cost (3,700× $0.2) (740)
Contribution 1,110
Less Fixed cost (215)
Income 895

Cash
Accumulated Depreciation-Equipment
Equipment
Gain on Sale of Equipment
Answer:
a. Cost of Equipment = $401300
Residual value = $25100
Useful life = 18 years
Depreciation expense = (Purchase cost - Residual value) / Useful life
Depreciation expense = ($401,300 - $25,100) / 18 years
Depreciation expense = $20,900
b. Book value of equipment on January 1 of year 4 = Purchase cost -(Depreciation expense * 3 years)
= $401300 - ($20900*3 years)
= $401300 - $62700
= $338,600
c. Accumulated Depreciation = Depreciation expense * 3 years
Accumulated Depreciation = $20,900*3
Accumulated Depreciation = $62,700
Gain/ loss on sale = Cash received for sale of asset - Book value of asset at jan 1 of year 4
Loss on sale = $315000 - $338600
Loss on sale = $23600

Start Inc. has 5,000 shares of 6%, $100 par value, cumulative preferred stock and 50,000 shares of $1 par value common stock outstanding at December 31, 2012. What is the annual dividend on the preferred stock? Group of answer choices $60 per share $30,000 in total $50,000 in total $0.60 per share
Answer:
$30,000 in total
Explanation:
The annual dividend on preferred stock can be determined based on the dividend rate, in other words, the annual dividend is the dividend rate multiplied by the face value of the preferred stock as shown thus:
annual dividend on preferred stock=number of preferred shares outstanding*par value per share*dividend rate
number of preferred shares outstanding=5,000
par value per share=$100
dividend rate=6%
50,000 shares refer to the number of common stocks outstanding
annual dividend on preferred stock=5000*$100*6%
annual dividend on preferred stock=$30,000
dividend per share=$30000/5000=$6
During 2004, Thor Lab supplied hospitals with a comprehensive diagnostic kit for $120. At a volume of 80,000 kits, Thor had fixed costs of $1,000,000 and a profit before income taxes of $200,000. Due to an adverse legal decision, Thor’s 2005 liability insurance increased by $1,200,000 over 2004. Assuming the volume and other costs are unchanged, what should the 2005 price be if Thor is to make the same $200,000 profit before income taxes?
a. $120.00
b. $135.00
c. $150.00
d. $240.00
Answer:
d. $240.00
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what should the 2005 price be if Thor is to make the same $200,000 profit before income taxes?
2004 CM% = 12.5% ($15/$120)
2005 CM = $2,400,000 ($1,000,000 + $200,000)
2005 CM per unit = $2,400,000/80,000 units
2005 CM per unit= $30 CM per unit;
2005 selling price per unit = $30/.125
2005 selling price per unit= $240
Therefore what should the 2005 price be if Thor is to make the same $200,000 profit before income taxes is $240

GAAP refers to the industry standard and it gives a clear view of the operations of a business from a financial point of view. On the other hand, the non-GAAP disclosure deviates from the industry standard and in such case, adjustments are made to show company's operations.
The non-GAAP disclosures which is least likely to create variance between GAAP and non-GAAP operating income is the currency loss from closing of a foreign subsidiary.

In an economy open to international trade ________.
A) saving equals investment in equilibrium
B) saving is the difference between net exports and investment
C) saving equals investment as long as the economy has no exports
D) saving equals investment as long as NX
Answer: D) saving equals investment as long as NX = 0
Explanation:
The last option was incomplete as it should have said ...NX = 0.
The Income/GDP of a country that is open to international trade is calculated as follows:
Income = Consumption + Investment + Government spending + Net exports
Y = C + I + G + NX
If NX = 0 then the formula becomes:
Y = C + I + G
Investment in this scenario is therefore:
I = Y - C - G
This is the same as savings as savings is calculated by subtracting consumption and government spending from the total income. This is because government spending is derived from taxes so the cash that people get to save is their income less than their taxes and consumption expenses.
S = Y - C - G = Y

Alpha and Beta, two tiny islands in the Pacific, produce pearls and pineapples. The following production possibilities schedules describe their potential output in tons per year:
ATTACHMENT IS BELOW
Suppose Alpha and Beta agree that the terms of trade will be one for one and exchange 10 pearls for 10 pineapples.
a. If Alpha produced 6 pearls and 15 pineapples while Beta produced 30 pearls and 8 pineapples before they decided to trade, how many pearls would each be producing after trade? Assume that the two countries specialize according to their comparative advantage.
(i) Alpha: _____ pearls
(ii) Beta: _____ pearls
b. How much would the combined production of pineapples increase for the two islands due to specialization?
_____ pineapples
c. How much would the combined production of pearls increase?
_____ pearls
d. What is the post-trade consumption for each island?
Alpha consumes _____ pearls and ______ pineapples.
Beta consumes ______ pearls and ______pineapples.
Answer:
The opportunity cost of pearls for A is 2.5 pineapples and the opportunity cost of pearls for A is 0.27.
Explanation:
If Alpha produced 6 pearls and 15 pineapples, while B produced 30 pearls and 8 pineapples before the trade, we can calculate the opportunity cost for each island. For island Alpha, their opportunity cost will be:
6 pearls = 15 pineapples
1 pearl = 15/6 pineapples
1 pearl = 2.5 pineapples
Therefore, the opportunity cost of pearls for A is 2.5 pineapples
For island Beta, their opportunity cost will be:
30 pearls = 8 pineapples
1 pearl = 8/30 pineapples
1 pearl = 0.27 pineapples
Therefore, the opportunity cost of pearls for A is 0.27 pineapples
b)
It appears that A will increase production of pineapples from 15 pineapples to 25 pineapples, and due to their opportunity cost, will decrease pearl production from 6 pearls to 2 pearls
It appears that B will increase the production of pearls from 30 pearls to 40 pearls, and due to their opportunity cost, will decrease pineapple production from 8 pineapples to 4 pineapples.

Explanation:
Bond X is a premium bond making semiannual payments. The bond pays a coupon rate of 11 percent, has a YTM of 9 percent, and has 11 years to maturity. Bond Y is a discount bond making semiannual payments. This bond pays a coupon rate of 9 percent, has a YTM of 11 percent, and also has 11 years to maturity. The bonds have a $1,000 par value. What is the price of each bond today
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the price of each bond, we need to use the following formula:
Bond Price= cupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]
Bond X:
Coupon= (0.11/2)*1,000= $55
YTM= 0.09/2= 0.045
Years to maturiy= 11 years
Bond Price= 55*{[1 - (1.045^-11)] / 0.045} + [1,000/(1.045^11)]
Bond Price= 469.1 + 616.2
Bond Price= $1,085.3
Bond Y:
Coupon= (0.09/2)*1,000= $45
YTM= 0.11/2= 0.055
Years to maturiy= 11 years
Bond Price= 45*{[1 - (1.055^-11)] / 0.055} + [1,000/(1.045^11)]5
Bond Price= 364.16 + 554.91
Bond price= $919.07
