Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales proportion:
Regulas= 1/3= 0.33
Ultra= 2/3= 0.67
Fixed costs= $1,612,000.
Product Unit Sales Price Variable Cost Per Unit
Regular $20 $8
Ultra 24 4
To calculate the contribution margin per composite unit, we need to use the following formula:
Weighted average contribution margin= (weighted average selling price - weighted average unitary variable cost)
weighted average selling price= (0.33*20) + (0.67*24)
weighted average selling price= $22.68
weighted average unitary variable cost= (0.33*8) + (0.67*4)
weighted average unitary variable cost= $5.32
Weighted average contribution margin= 22.68 - 5.32
Weighted average contribution margin= $17.36
Now, we can calculate the break-even point for the company as a whole:
Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin
Break-even point (units)= 1,612,000/17.36= 92,857
Finally, for each product:
Regular= 92,857*0.33= 30,643
Ultra= 92,857*0.67= 62,214

Answer:
20%
Explanation:
Gross profit is the net of sales and cost of sales. Gross Profit percentage is the ratio of gross profit to sales expressed as percentage.
Product Units Produced Final Sales Value per Unit Separate Costs
A 10,000 $25 $125,000
B 15,000 $30 $250,000
C 12,500 $24 $125,000
Total 37,500 $500,000
Sales Value
A (10,000 x $25) $250,000
B (15,000 x $30) $450,000
C (12,500 x $24) $300,000
Total Sales Value $1,000,000
Less
Joint Cost ($300,000)
Separable cost ($500,000)
Gross Profit $200,000
Gross Profit Percentage = ( $200,000 / $1,000,000 ) x 100 = 20%
Module 2 Assignment By using 2-dimension graphs (in MS WORD) for PRICE and QUANTITY, demonstrate the effect that each of the following will have on the demand for gasoline in a competitive market? State what happens to demand. Explain your reasoning in each case and relate it to a demand determinant. If you are not able to use MS-WORD, just draw on a piece of paper, take a picture, and submit it as a PDF file. If you cannot use MS Word tools, just use your pen and paper and upload images or screenshots. (a) an increase in the number of cars (25 points) (b) the economy moves into a recession (25 points) (c) an increase in the price of car insurance, taxes, maintenance (25 points) (d) consumer expectations of substantial price increases in gasoline (25 points) Total == 100 points.
Answer: The answer is provided below
Explanation:
a. An increase in the number of cars will lead to an increase in demand as more people will demand for gasoline. This will lead to a rightward shift of the demand curve from D1 to D2. The increase in demand will also lead to the rise in price of gasoline from P1 to P2.
b. When the economy moves into a recession, people will purchase less cars because of the recession, as the income level of the consumers will have fallen. Due to the decrease in the number of cars, the demand for gasoline also reduces. This is denoted by the leftward shift in the demand curve in the attached diagram from D1 to D2.
c. The increase in the price of car insurance, taxes, maintenance will also lead to a reduction in the demand for cars which will in turn, reduce the demand for gasoline. Thereby the demand curve shifts from from D1 to D2 leftward.
d. The expectations of substantial increase in the price of gasoline, will lead to a higher demand for gasoline in the present period because due to the expectation of a higher price, the consumers will go and buy more gasoline and keep for future use. As the demand for gasoline rises, this will lead to the demand curve for gasoline to shift rightward and also the price will increase from P1 to P2.

Aliyah is preparing to expand her IT consulting company. The current market rate for IT professionals is $58,000 per year. Each employee she hires will also require a computer and equipment that costs $6,000 per employee annually. Hiring more employees means that Aliyah can provide consulting services to more clients each year. Each client Aliyah has will pay her $10,000 per year.The number of clients Aliyah can take on is dependent on the number of workers she hires and is depicted in the accompanying table.Use this information to calculate the marginal cost and the marginal benefit of hiring each worker.Number of workers Clients per year0 01 112 203 274 32a. The first worker's marginal cost is $__________.b. The first worker's marginal benefit is $__________.c. The second worker's marginal cost is $__________.d. The second worker's marginal benefit is $__________.e. The third worker's marginal cost is $__________.f. The third worker's marginal benefit is $__________.g. The fourth worker's marginal cost is $__________.h. The fourth worker's marginal benefit is $__________.i. Using the rational rule to maximize her economic surplus, Aliyah should hire _________ workers.
Answer and Explanation:
a. The first worker marginal cost is
= The current market rate for IT professional + computer and equipment costing
= $58,000 + $6,000
= $64,000 per year
b.The marginal benefit per worker for hiring first worker is
= Pay each client × number of clients
= $10,000 × 11 clients
= $110,000
c . The second worker marginal cost is
= The current market rate for IT professional + computer and equipment costing
= $58,000 + $6,000
= $64,000 per year
d The second worker marginal benefit is
= Pay each client × number of clients
= $10,000 × (20 clients - 11 clients)
= $90,000
e The third worker marginal cost is
= The current market rate for IT professional + computer and equipment costing
= $58,000 + $6,000
= $64,000 per year
f. The third worker marginal benefit is
= Pay each client × number of clients
= $10,000 × (27 clients - 20 clients)
= $70,000
g. The fourth worker marginal cost is
= The current market rate for IT professional + computer and equipment costing
= $58,000 + $6,000
= $64,000 per year
h. The fourth worker marginal benefit is
= Pay each client × number of clients
= $10,000 × (32 clients - 27 clients)
= $50,000
I. Aliyah will employ 3 workers, because the extra marginal gain to the worker is greater than the marginal cost. It implies the hiring worker's cost is less than the benefits they receive.
In economics terms, the marginal cost is the cost that is caused by a change in the total cost that arises because of the increase in the quantity produced, and the cost of producing the additional quantity. It is calculated as the change in the cost is divided by the change in quantity.
a. The first worker marginal cost is
= The current market rate for IT professionals + computer and equipment cost
= $58,000 + $6,000
= $64,000 per year
b.The marginal benefit per worker for hiring the first worker is
[tex]= \text{Pay each client} \times \text{number of clients}&= \$10,000 \times 11 \:clients\\&= \$110,000[/tex]
c . The second worker marginal cost is
= The current market rate for IT professionals + computer and equipment cost
= $58,000 + $6,000
= $64,000 per year
d The second worker marginal benefit is
[tex]= \text{Pay each client}\times \text{ number of clients} = \$10,000 \times (20 \:clients - 11\: clients)= \$90,000[/tex]
e The third worker marginal cost is

g. The fourth worker marginal cost is
= The current market rate for IT professionals + computer and equipment cost
= $58,000 + $6,000
= $64,000 per year
h. The fourth worker marginal benefit is
[tex]= \text{Pay each client} \times \text{number of clients} = \$10,000 \times (32\: clients - 27 \:clients)= \$50,000[/tex]

How do Keynesians and classicals differ in their beliefs about how long it takes the economy to reach long-run equilibrium? What implications do these differences in beliefs have for Keynesian and classical views about the usefulness of antirecessionary policies? Classical economists think prices adjust _____ and that antirecessionary policies are _____, whereas Keynesian economists think the opposite.
Answer: Rapidly; Not Necessary
Explanation:
Keynesian Economists are of the believe that the Economy takes a fairly long time to reach a long run Equilibrium while Classical economists believe that it takes a shorter period of time. This has led to both classes of Economists having varying opinions when it comes to the need for Anti-recessionary Policies.
Anti-recessionary policies are implemented by the Government to try to get the economy back to the long run equilibrium as soon as possible and Keynesian Economists support this because the believe that if help is not given, the economy will take too long to adjust on its own. Classical Economists are against this and see no need for such policies because they maintain that the economy adjusts and reaches the Long run equilibrium rapidly meaning that such policies are not necessary and would just be a waste of resources as well as a way for the government to exert more influence on the economy which is another thing they are against as well.

Explanation:
Compuvac Company has just completed its first pass forecast using the projected balance sheet method. need a total of 13,050,00 The firm has determined that it needs $4 million in new debt which can be sold at par with a 10% annual coupon. Additionally, the firm will sell 500,000 shares of new common equity at $18.10 per share. Next year's expected dividend is $0.24 per share. 40% tax rate. Given this information, what is the incremental change in AFN for Compuvac going from the first pass to the second pass?
Answer:
Incremental change in AFB would be $ 480,000
Explanation:
(a) Debt = $ 4,000,000
Interest on debt = 10%
Therefore, Interest outgo on debt = 10% of Debt
=10% of $4,000,000
=$ 400,000
(b) Dividend payable = $0.48 per share(given)
No of shares = 500,000 (given)
Therefore, Outgo on account of dividend = $ 0.48 /share * no of shares
=$0.48 * 500,000
=$240,000
(c) Given, that tax in second would be $160,000 lesser. i.e., outgo would actually be lesser to that extent
Therefore, incremental AFN = (a)+(b)-(c) = $ 400,000 + $ 240,000 - $160,000 = $480,000
Incremental change in AFB would be $480,000

Suppose that Paolo, an economist from a university in Arizona, and Sharon, an economist from a university in Massachusetts, are arguing over government bailouts. The following dialogue shows an excerpt from their debate:
Sharon: Thanks to recent financial crises, the concept of bailouts is a hot topic for debate among everyone these days.
Paolo: Indeed, it's gotten crazy! A government bailout of severely distressed financial firms is unnecessary because free markets will properly price assets.
Sharon: I don't know about that. Without a bailout of severely distressed financial firms, the economy will experience a deep recession.
The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to _____________________. Despite their differences, with which proposition are two economists chosen at random most likely to agree?
a. Lawyers make up an excessive percentage of elected officials
b. Minimum wage laws do more to harm low-skilled workers than help them.
c. Tariffs and import quotas generally reduce economic welfare.
Answer: 1. Differences in scientific judgements.
2. c. Tariffs and import quotas generally reduce economic welfare.
Explanation:
1. Economists tend to have very varying opinions and this is a well known fact. So much so that even former President Ronald Reagan made jokes about their difference in opinions.
The two Economists in the scenario above, Paolo and Sharon both seem to disagree with each other because they believe that bailouts affect the Economy in different ways. This is most likely due to the scientific judgement that they reached after researching or thinking about the problem from different angles.
2. Despite the differences that Economists have with each other, it is a general belief that Tariffs and Quotas and indeed any hindrance to free trade between countries reduces economic welfare. In the case of Tariffs and Quotas, that reduction in welfare is called a Deadweight loss. You would be hard pressed to find an Economist that supports Quotas and Tariffs.
The Thomlin Company forecasts that total overhead for the current year will be $11,485,000 with 176,000 total machine hours. Year to date, the actual overhead is $7,979,000 and the actual machine hours are 89,000 hours. If the Thomlin Company uses a predetermined overhead rate based on machine hours for applying overhead, as of this point in time (year to date), the overhead is Round the factory overhead rate to the nearest dollar before multiplying by the number of hours. a.$3,071,600 underapplied b.$2,194,000 overapplied c.$3,071,600 overapplied d.$2,194,000 underapplied
Answer:
Under/over applied overhead= $2,171,244 underallocated
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The estimated total overhead= $11,485,000
Estimated machine hours= 176,000
Year to date, the actual overhead is $7,979,000 and the actual machine hours are 89,000 hours.
First, we need to calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 11,485,000/176,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $65.25568 per machine-hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 65.25568*89,000= $5,807,756
Finally, we determine the under/over allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 7,979,000 - 5,807,756= $2,171,244 underallocated

Which is what Karen is doing by using her stock market knowledge to solve problems in her job.
Given the following information, calculate the total annual tax liability of the homeowner market value of property: $537,500; assessed value of property: 60% of the market value, exemptions: $2,500; school district millage rate: 29.25 mills; county and township millage rate: 5.75 mills. a.$7,437.50 b.$11,287.50 c. $11,200.00 d.$188,125.00
Answer:
The total annual tax liability of the homeowner market value of property is $11,200.00 . The right answer is c
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
Market value of property= $5,37,500
Assessed value of property= 60% of the market value
Hence, Assessed value of property =$5,37,500*60% =$3,22,500
Exemption: $2500
Therefore,Assessed value =$3,22,500-$2,500 =$3,20,000
Schol district milleage rate= 29.25Mills
County and township milleage =5.75 Mills
Total rate of Mills =29.25+5.75=35 mills
Therefore, to calculate the total annual tax liability of the homeowner market value of property we would have to use the following formula:
Property tax amount= (Assessed value* Rate of mills/1,000,000)*1,000
Property tax amount= ($320,000*35/1,000,000)*1,000
Property tax amount= $11,200.00
The total annual tax liability of the homeowner market value of property is $11,200.00
In September 2008, the IRS changed tax laws to allow banks to utilize the tax loss carryforwards of banks they acquire to shield their future income from taxes (prior law restricted the ability of acquirers to use these credits). Suppose Fargo Bank acquires Covia Bank and with it acquires $ 74$74 billion in tax loss carryforwards. If Fargo Bank is expected to generate taxable income of $ 10$10 billion per year in the future, and its tax rate is 30 %30%, what is the present value of these acquired tax loss carryforwards given a cost of capital of 8 %8%?
Answer:
The present value of these acquired tax loss is $15.81 billion
Explanation:
We can shield $ 10 billion for the next 7 years and $4 billion in the 8th year
Given the tax rate = 30%
Years 1 - 7, tax savings = $ 3 billion
Year 8, tax savings = $1.2 billion
Present value (PV) = 3 × [tex]\frac{1}{0.08} \{1-\frac{1}{1.08^7} \}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1.2}{1.08^8}[/tex]
= 3 × 12.5(1-0.58) + 0.648
= 3 × 5.25 + 0.648
= 15.75 + 0.648
= $ 15.81 billion
Therefore, the present value of these acquired tax loss is $15.81 billion

Ben & Jerry’s Homemade, Inc., the Vermont-based manufacturer of ice cream, frozen yogurt, and sorbet, was known for having a rule that the compensation for the highest paid employee (i.e., the CEO) could not be more than seven times the pay of the lowest paid employee. Applying Hofstede’s model of cultural influence, which of the five cultural dimensions is most closely related to this rule?
Answer:
Five Cultural Dimension are discussed as under:
Explanation:
Geert Hofstede's five cultural dimensions standard is used for understanding cultural differences and highly valued because it provides the understanding of the culture of a particular market and these are as under:
Number 1. Power Distance
The Power Distance talks about how much inequality is accepted in the culture by the dominant players of the society. The way the society handles the issues tells about how they handle inequalities.
Number 2. Individualism versus collectivism
The individualism dimension is talks about how much an individual interest are important as opposed to the group interests. The higher value of individual as opposed to the group interest is Individualism and lower value of individual as opposed to the group interest is Collectivism. It basically represents how much the individual values the interest of a group when these interest are in conflict with their interest. Similarly it also tells how much the group values the interest of an individual when these interest are in conflict with their interest.
Number 3. Masculinity
The masculinity dimension is all about the things and values in a culture that are considered very important and has greater influence of masculine side. The dimension basically considers the preference of values in the society which includes social work, heroism, Patriotism, etc.
Number 4. Uncertainty Avoidance
The uncertain avoidance dimension tells about the risks and uncertainty that the dominant players of the society considers in policy reforms and are concerned with the issues mitigation.
Number 5. Indulgence
The indulgence dimension means how much an individual or the society as a whole are are capable to control their desires and impulses. This also means how much their desires are valuable than others and how they are going to achieve it in practical life.
The five cultural dimensions closely related to this rule include:
Power DistanceIndividualism v. collectivismMasculinityUncertainty AvoidanceIndulgenceThe cultural dimensions model was established in 1970s based on a decade of research and has been an internationally recognized standard for understanding cultural differences.
Hence, while applying the Hofstede’s model of cultural influence, the five cultural dimensions that is most closely related to this rule includes Power Distance, Individualism v. collectivism, Masculinity, Uncertainty Avoidance and Indulgence.

(Round any intermediate calculations and your final answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:
1.51%
Explanation:
The computation of the accounting rate of return is shown below:
Accounting rate of return = Average annual profit ÷ average investment
where,
Average annual profit is
= Estimated annual net cash inflows for 5 years - annual depreciation
= $95,000 - ($480,000 - $24,000) ÷ 5 years
= $95,000 - $91,200
= $3,800
And, the average annual investment is
= (Initial Investment + Scrap Value) ÷ 2
= ($480,000 + $24,000) ÷ 2
= $252,000
Now placing these values to the above formula
So, the accounting rate of return is
= $3,800 ÷ $252,000
= 1.51%

At the beginning of 2021, Brad's Heating & Air (BHA) has a balance of $25,900 in accounts receivable. Because BHA is a privately owned company, the company has used only the direct write-off method to account for uncollectible accounts. However, at the end of 2021, BHA wishes to obtain a loan at the local bank, which requires the preparation of proper financial statements. This means that BHA now will need to use the allowance method. The following transactions occur during 2021 and 2022.
1. During 2021, install air conditioning systems on account, $189,000.
2. During 2021, collect $184,000 from customers on account.
3. At the end of 2021, estimate that uncollectible accounts total 20% of ending accounts receivable.
4. In 2022, customers' accounts totaling $7,900 are written off as uncollectible.
Required:
Record each transaction using the allowance method.
Answer and Explanation:
The Journal entries are shown below:-
a. Accounts receivable Dr, $189,000
To service revenue $189,000
(Being service provided on the account is recorded)
Here we debited the accounts receivable as it increased the assets and we credited the service revenue as it increased the revenue
b. Cash Dr, $184,000
To Accounts receivable $184,000
(Being collection on accounts is recorded)
Here we debited the cash as it increased the assets and we credited accounts receivable as it decreased the assets
c. Bad debt expenses Dr, $6,180
To Allowance for uncollectible accounts $6,180
(Being estimated uncollectible accounts is recorded)
Here we debited the bad debt expenses as it increased the expense and we credited the allowance for uncollectible accounts as it decreased the asset
Working note
Uncollectible accounts = (Total account - Cash collected) × 20%
= ($25,900 + $189,000) - $184,000 × 20%
= $30,900 × 20%
= $6,180
d. Allowance for uncollectible accounts Dr, $7,900
To Accounts receivable $7,900
(Being write off of actual bad debt is recorded)
Here we debited the allowance for uncollectible accounts as it increase the allowance and we credited the accounts receivable as it decreased the asset
Chuck, a single taxpayer, earns $69,000 in taxable income and $27,100 in interest from an investment in City of Heflin bonds. (Use the U.S tax rate schedule.) Required: How much federal tax will he owe
Answer: $10,970
Explanation:
I have attached the US Tax rate Schedule to this question.
Note that the Interest Earned from the investment are Tax Free because it is from an Municipal bond and those are tax free.
The only figure to calculate tax on is therefore the income of $69,000.
According to the Schedule. If an individual makes between $40,126 and $85,525, they are to pay $4,617.50 plus 22% of the income over $40,125.
That means then that Chuck's tax rate is,
= 4,617.50 + 22% * ( 69,000 - 40,125)
= 4,617.50 + 22% * 28,875
= $10,970
He owes $10,970 in Federal Taxes

According to new trade theory, trade, through its impact on economies of scale, is most likely to reduce the volume of the goods produced. decrease the variety of goods available to consumers. decrease the average costs of goods. inhibit first-mover advantages in all industries. benefit only nations that differ in resource endowments or technology.
Answer:
Option C (Decrease of the average cost of goods) seems to be the right response to the key statement.
Explanation:
NTT seems to be a compilation of business theories for world commerce, considering the role of size distribution rates of return as well as efficiency gains or effects on the network.And as per this theory, in addition to its effect on the economy of scale, trade or exchange is much more probable to reduce the total amount of goods and services.Other possibilities aren't related to something like the scenario in question. So option C seems to be the perfect solution.
Under _________dividend reinvestment plan, the company gives any cash dividends that investors would have received in a bank, which acts as a trustee. The bank then uses the money to repurchase the company’s existing stock in the stock market. The bank then allocates the shares purchased to the participating stockholders’ accounts on a pro rata basis.
Answer:
Old Stock
Explanation:
The Dividend Reinvestment Plan is a platform where investors or shareholders in a company, reinvest the dividends they gained into more shares sold by the same company, most times without having to pay commissions.
Under the Old stock dividend reinvestment plan, an outside trustee, that is, a member of the board who is not an officer in the company, repurchases the company's existing shares in the stock market and then allocates the shares purchased among the stockholders. They sell the shares at market price. Most times, in order to encourage shareholders participation the company making the repurchase takes care of the commission fees.
Langston Labs has an overall (composite) WACC of 10%, which reflects the cost of capital for its average asset. Its assets vary widely in risk, and Langston evaluates low-risk projects with a WACC of 8%, average-risk projects at 10%, and high-risk projects at 12%. The company is considering the following projects:Project Risk Expected ReturnA High 15%B Average 12%C High 11%D Low 9%E Low 6%Which set of projects would maximize shareholder wealth?1) A, B, C, D, and E2) A, B, and C3) A, B, and D4) A and B5) A, B, C, and D
Answer:
3) A, B, and D
Explanation:
WACC for higher risk projects combined with lower risk project will reduce the overall risk exposure. The projects with high risk might also provide high rate of return but volatility will be high for such projects. Those projects are selected which has rate of return higher than WACC. The project A has high risk but its rate of return is 15% which is 3% higher than in its WACC. The project B has average risk with rate of return 12% while the WACC is 10%. The project D should be selected because it has low risk with rate of return 9% which is 1% higher return than the cost of capital.

On January 1, Year 1, Hart Company issued bonds with a face value of $123,000, a stated rate of interest of 16 percent, and a five-year term to maturity. Interest is payable in cash on December 31 of each year. The effective rate of interest was 15 percent at the time the bonds were issued. The bonds sold for $127,123. Hart used the effective interest rate method to amortize the bond premium.
Prepare an amortization table.
Answer:
Find attached amortization table Hart Company bonds.
Explanation:
The amortization schedule starts with cash proceeds received from bondholders of $127,123,then adds interest expense to the cash proceeds using 15% effective interest rat i.e 15%*$127,123 and thereafter deducts interest payment which is 16% of face value i.e 16% *$123,000.
The premium amortization in each year is interest payment minus the interest expense.
E. Preslay Company prepares monthly financial statements and uses the gross profit method to estimate ending inventories. Historically, the company has had a 40% gross profit rate. During June, net sales amounted to $200,000; the beginning inventory on June 1 was $60,000; and the cost of goods purchased during June amounted to $90,000. The estimated cost of E. Preslay Company's inventory on June 30 is
Answer:
$30,000
Explanation:
The computation of the estimated cost of ending inventory is shown below:
As we know that
Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + Cost of goods purchased - ending inventory
where,
Cost of goods sold is
= Net Sales - gross profit
= $200,000 - $200,000 × 40%
= $200,000 - $80,000
= $120,000
Beginning inventory is $60,000
Cost of goods purchased is $90,000
So, the ending inventory is
$120,000 = $60,000 + $90,000 - ending inventory
Hence, the ending inventory is $30,000
The cost of goods sold refers to the cost which is directly related to the goods sold or created i.e direct material, direct labor, etc

Consider a firm's short-run cost curves. If average total cost is increasing as output rises, then
Select one:
a. total fixed costs must be increasing
b. average variable cost must be increasing,
c. marginal cost must be below average total cost.
d. average fixed costs must be increasing.
e, average total cost is no longer equal to the sum of average variable cost and average fixed cost.
Option (a) total fixed costs must be increasing if the average total cost is increasing as output rises.
What happens to the average fixed cost when production increases in the short term?In the short term, as a company's output increases, its average fixed cost decreases. Fixed costs remain the same regardless of the number of products produced. As performance improves, the fixed cost contribution per unit decreases.
On the short-term curve, much of the initial downslope is due to lower average fixed costs. Increasing the variable input return at low output levels also plays a role, but the slope is due to the decreasing limit variable input return.
