Answer:
gain surplus from paying a lower price
Explanation:
An effective price ceiling will cause consumers to "gain surplus from paying a lower price."
This is based on the idea that an effective price ceiling usually leads to prices being below the equilibrium price or equates to a lower price.
At this point, the buyers demand more of the products, while the sellers have a lower incentive to produce more. And therefore, the quantity demanded will exceed the quantity supplied.
Hence, consumers gain excess (more demands) by paying a lower price.
Several years ago, Alcoa was effectively the sole seller of aluminum because the firm owned nearly all of the aluminum ore reserves in the world. This market was not perfectly competitive because this situation violated the:
Answer:
price-taking assumption.
free entry assumption.
Explanation:
A perfectly competitive market is one in which different firms compete for consumers of their products. The characteristics of the perfectly competitive market are:
- products are nearly identical
- all the firms are price takers. That is they are not able to determine price independently
- buyer knowledge of information about products is perfect and available to all
- free entry and exit to the market
- resources are perfectly mobile
In the given scenario above two of these rules are not obeyed.
Alcoa was effectively the sole seller of aluminum because the firm owned nearly all of the aluminum ore reserves in the world.
So they determine the price ( they are not price takers)
Also since they own nearly all the aluminium reserves there is no free entry for new firms

Pettygrove Company had 800,000 shares of $10 par value common stock outstanding. The amount of additional paid-in capital is $4,000,000, and Retained Earnings is $1,200,000. The company issues a 2-for-1 stock split. The market price of the stock is $14. What is the balance in the Common Stock account after this issuance
Answer:
$8,000,000
Explanation:
Balance in the Common Stock account = Number of hare after split * Par value of share
Balance in the Common Stock account = 800,000 * 2 * $10/2
Balance in the Common Stock account = $8,000,000
So, the balance in the Common Stock account after share split will be $8,000,000.
The following data relate to product no. 33 of La Quinta Corporation: Direct labor standard: 5 hours at $14 per hour Direct labor used in production: 45,000 hours at a cost of $639,000 Manufacturing activity: 8,900 units completed The direct-labor rate/price variance is:
Answer:
$9,000 (Unfavorable)
Explanation:
The computation of the direct-labor rate/price variance is given below:
Given that
Actual time used = 45,000 hours
Actual cost of labor used = $639,000
Now
Actual rate = Actual cost of labor used ÷ Actual time used
= $639,000 ÷ 45,000
= $14.2 per hour
And,
Standard rate = $14 per hour
Standard time = 5 hours per unit
Actual output = 8,900 units
So, standard time for actual output = 8,900 × 5
= 44,500
Now
Direct labor rate variance = Actual time × (Standard rate - Actual rate)
= 45,000 × (14 - 14.2)
= $9,000 (Unfavorable)

U.S. Steel is considering a plant expansion to produce austenitic, precipitation hardened, duplex, and martensitic stainless steel round bars that is expected to cost $13 million now and another $10 million 1 year from now. If total operating costs will be $1.2 million per year starting 1 year from now, and the estimated salvage value of the plant is virtually zero, how much must the company make annually in years 1 through 10 to recover its investment plus a return of 15% per year
Answer:
$5.5228 million
Or
$5,522,800
Explanation:
First, calculate the present value of all cash outflows
Present value of cash outflow = Initial Cost + ( Year 1 cost x Discount factor 15%, 1 year ) + ( Annual Cost x Annuity factor 15%, 10 years )
Where
Initial cost = $13 million
Year 1 cost = $10 million
Discount factor 15%, 1 year = 1 / ( 1 + 15% )^1 = 0.8696
Annual Cost = $1.2 million
Annuity factor 15%, 10 years = 1 - ( 1 + 15% )^-10 / 15% = 5.019
Placing value sin the formula
Present value of cash outflow = $13 million + ( $10 million x 0.8696 ) + ( $1.2 million x 5.019 )
Present value of cash outflow = $13 million + $8.696 million + $6.0228 million
Present value of cash outflow = $27.7188 million
Now use the following formula to calculate the annual revenue required to recover its investment plus a return of 15% per year
Present value of Annual revenue = Annual Revenue x Annuity factor 15%, 10 years
Annual Revenue = Present value of Annual revenue / Annuity factor 15%, 10 years
Where
Present value of Annual revenue = $27.7188 million
Annuity factor 15%, 10 years = 1 - ( 1 + 15% )^-10 / 15% = 5.019
Placing value sin the formula
Annual Revenue = $27.7188 million / 5.019
Annual Revenue = $5.5228 million
Annual Revenue = $5,522,800

Recently, Shandra purchased 5 movie DVDs and 12 three ring binders. What if the price of DVDs rose by $3 and the price of three ring binders declined by $2. With Shandra’s income unchanged and prices for other goods remaining the same, what actions would Shandra most likely take?
Answer:
1. She'll purchase less quantity of movie DVDs
2. She'll purchase more quantity of three-ring binders
Explanation:
INITIAL CASE:
Purchase: 5 DVDs and 12 Binders
Price of DVDs = x Price of Binders = y
NEW CASE:
Price of DVDs = $(x + 3) Price of Binders = $(y - 2)
Shandra's income is unchanged - it doesn't increase or fall in this period.
Prices of "other goods" is also constant - hence the decisions Shandra will make concerning quantity to purchase of DVDs & Binders, will solely be based on the new prices of the two items/commodities.
This clears the "ceteris paribus" assumption of the law of demand! All other things - income & prices of other goods - are already determined to be equal or constant.
In this case, the consumer, Shandra will purchase more of the good whose price has fallen and less of the good whose price has risen. Hence, the actions that Shandra would take are:
1. She'll purchase less quantity of movie DVDs
2. She'll purchase more quantity of three-ring binders
Inflation imposes many costs on the economy: shoe-leather costs, money illusion, menu costs, wealth redistribution, price confusion, future price level uncertainty, and tax distortions.
a. True
b. False
Answer: True
Explanation:
Inflation refers to the decline in the purchasing power of a currency over time. Inflation creates shoe leather cost which refers to the cost of time and.the effort by which individuals spend so as to mitigate the effects of inflation, like holding fewer cash.
Also, inflation creates money illusion as there's reduction in the value of money that one holds. Inflation creates menu costs as prices goes up. It also brings about wealth redistribution, price confusion, future price level uncertainty, and tax distortions.
Therefore, the correct option is True.
Job enlargement tends to deter an employee's development because:_________
a. it is so time-consuming.
b. means adding new challenges and responsibilities to an employee's current job.
c. means moving the position up the organizational hierarchy.
d. refers to hiring more people for the same job category.
Answer:
b. means adding new challenges and responsibilities to an employee's current job.
Explanation:
Job enlargement refers to rise in the scope of the job via extending the range with respective to the duties and responsibilities of the job normally at the similar level. It means it added the different kind of activities at the similar level and the same is to be added in the existing job
So here the fear in the employee development is that they need to add the new challenges and responsibilities
Therefore the option b is correct
A new tool manufacturer opened a plant in town three months ago and hired 3000 new employees. People now have extra cash to spend and are out spending in the town. What is an example of how this extra money may shift the demand curve for goods and services in the town
Answer:
the extra money causes a 50% increase in IPhone sales.
Explanation:
One example would be that the extra money causes a 50% increase in IPhone sales. Therefore this higher income is shifting the demand curve for IPhones upwards due to the number of individuals purchasing the product. If individuals come into more money than they need to survive it is usually spent on luxury goods/services. This creates a demand for these goods and services that did not exist at the same level previously. This increased demand is what curves the demand curve upwards.

Answer:
$6,707
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what Universal Travel Inc. should report interest payable at December 31, 2021,
Interest payable at Dec 31,2021= 503,000 * 8% * 2 months/12 months
Interest payable at Dec 31,2021= $6706.6
Interest payable at Dec 31,2021= $6707 Approximately)
(November 1 - December 31 = 2 months)
Therefore Universal Travel Inc. should report interest payable at December 31, 2021, in the amount of $6,707

Dr. Interst Expense $19,979.32
Dr. Premium on Bond $1,620.68
Cr. Cash $21,600
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the premium on bond amortization as follow
Premium on bond amortization = Coupon Payment - Interest Expense
Premium on bond amortization = ( $480,000 x 8% x 6/12 ) - ( $499,483 x 8% x 6/12 )
Premium on bond amortization = $21,600 - $19,979.32
Premium on bond amortization = $1,620.68
Chico Company paid $950,000 for a basket purchase that included office furniture, a building and land. An appraiser provided the following estimates of the market values of the assets if they had been purchased separately: Office furniture, $190,000; Building, $740,000; and Land, $132,000. Based on this information, what is the cost that should be allocated to the office furniture
Answer:
$171,000
Explanation:
The company psid $950,000 for office furniture, building and land
The market value of the assets is
Office furniture= $190,000
Building= $740,000
Land= $132,000
Therefore the cost that should be allocated to the office furniture can be calculated as follows
= 18/100 × 950,000
= 0.18×950,000
= 171,000
g A company has beginning inventory of 16 units at a cost of $24 each on February 1. On February 3, it purchases 34 units at $26 each. 22 units are sold on February 5. Using the FIFO periodic inventory method, what is the cost of the 22 units that are sold
Answer:
$188
Explanation:
FIFO method assumes that the units to arrive first will be sold first. Hence the cost of sales will be valued using the prices of earlier or older units.
Cost of Sales = 16 units x $24 + 6 units x $26
= $188
Thus, the cost of the 22 units that are sold is $188.

A consumer's weekly income is $250, and the consumer buys 12 bars of chocolate per week. When weekly income increases to $280, the consumer buys 13 bars per week. The income elasticity of demand for chocolate by this consumer is about
Answer:
0.69
Explanation:
Given that we have the formula for calculating income elasticity of demand as the percent change in quantity demanded divided by the percent change in income, hence, we have the percent change in quantity demanded => 13 - 12 = 1 ÷ 12 = 0.083
the percent change in income => 280 - 250 = 30 ÷ 250 = 0.12
Therefore we have => 0.083 ÷ 0.12 = 0.69
Hence, the final answer is 0.69

A company had net income of $43,000, net sales of $380,500, and average total assets of $220,000. Its profit margin and total asset turnover were, respectively:
a. 11.3%; 1.73
b. 11.3%; 19.5
c. 1.7%; 19.5
d. 1.7%; 11.3
d. 19.5%; 11.3
Answer:
11.3%, 1.73
Explanation:
Net income= 43,000
Net sales= 380,500
Total assests= 220,000
Therefore profit margin can be calculated as follows=
Net income/sales
= 43000/380,500
= 0.113×100
= 11.3%
Total assets turnover can be calculated as follows
= 380,500/220,000
= 1.73
the Hence profit margin is 11.3% and total assets turnover is 1.73
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. Joyce has used the high-low method to determine that her monthly cost equation is: total monthly cost = $215 + $0.20 per mile driven.
1. Determine how many miles Joyce needs to drive to break even.
2. Calculate Joyce's degree of operating leverage if she drives 4, 200 miles.
3. Suppose Joyce took a week off and her sales for the month decreased by 25 percent. Using the degree of operating leverage, calculate the effect this will have on her profit for that month.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is given below:
1.
Given that
Charges per mile = $0.50
Variable Cost per mile driven = $0.20
Fixed Cost = $215
So,
Contribution Margin per mile = Charges per mile - Variable Cost per mile driven
$0.50 - $0.20
= $0.30
Break-even units (in miles) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution Margin per mile
= $215 ÷ $0.30
= 717 miles
2.
Revenue for 4,200 miles is
= $0.50 × 4,200
= $2,100
And,
Variable Cost = $0.20 × 4,200
= $840
Now
Contribution Margin = Revenue - Variable Cost
= $2,100 - $840
= $1,260
And,
Fixed Cost = $215
So,
Net Income = Revenue - Variable Cost - Fixed Cost
= $2,100 - $840 - $215
= $1,045
So,
Degree of Operating Leverage = Contribution Margin ÷ Net Income
= $1,260 ÷ $1,045
= 1.2057
3.
Degree of Operating Leverage = % Change in Net Income ÷ % Change in Sales
1.2057 = % Change in Net Income ÷ -25%
1.2057 = % Change in Net Income ÷ -0.25
% Change in Net Income = -0.301425
= -30.1425%
Goldfarb Company manufactures and sells toasters. Each toaster sells for $22.95 and the variable cost per unit is $15.85. Goldfarb's total fixed costs are $24,200, and budgeted sales are 7,200 units. What is the contribution margin per unit
Answer: $7.10
Explanation:
The Contribution margin of a good refers to the amount left of the sales after the variable costs have been removed from it. It is useful in calculating the breakeven point as it can divide the fixed costs to find out the number of units needed to breakeven.
It is therefore calculated as:
= Sales - Variable cost
= 22.95 - 15.85
= $7.10
Which of the following is an example of a mixed cost?
a. electricity costs of $3 per kilowatt-hour
b. salary of a factory supervisor
c. rental costs of $10,000 per month plus $0.30 per machine hour of use
d. straight-line depreciation on factory equipment
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Mixed cost is a cost that consists of both fixed cost and variable cost
Fixed costs are costs that do not vary with output. e.g., rent, mortgage payments, depreciation
Variable costs are costs that vary with production
An example of variable cost is electricity costs of $3 per kilowatt-hour. If the factory is locked down, no electricity cost would be incurred.
The rental costs of $10,000 per month plus $0.30 per machine hour of use consists of both a fixed cost and a variable cost
the fixed cost is 10,000
the variable cost is $0.30 per machine hour

In 2012, Wingen Inc. sold 325,000 units at $8 each .Sales volume is expected to increase by 15 percent in 2013 while the price of each unit is expected to decrease by 15 percent. the expected sales revenue for 2013 is a. $373,750 b.$2,541,500 c.$1,878,500 d.$2,990,000
Answer:
$2541500
Explanation:
Given :
2012 :
Units sold = 325,000
Price per unit = $8
2013 :
Projected increase in volume = 15%
Projected decrease in price = 15%
Expected revenue = sales price * volume sold
Volume in 2013:
Projected Unit sold in 2013 = (1 + 0.15) * 325000 = 373750
units
Projected Price in 2013 = (1 - 0.15) * Price in 2012 = (1 - 0.15) * $8 = $6.80
Expected revenue = $6.80 * 373750 = $2541500
The closer the smoothing constant, ALPHA, is to 0 the greater the reaction to the most recent demand the greater the dampening, or smoothing, effect the more accurate the forecast will be the less accurate the forecast will be
Answer: the greater the dampening, or smoothing effect
Explanation:
The smoothing constant determines the level at which a forecast is influenced by previous observations. It simply determine the sensitivity of forecasts with regards to the changes in demand.
It should be noted that large values of α will lead to a scenario whereby forecasts will be more responsive to the more recent levels. On the other hand, the smaller values will result in a damping effect. Therefore, the closer the smoothing constant to α, the greater the dampening, or smoothing effect.
