Andy and Kim live together. Andy may invest $14 comma 000 (possibly by taking on an extra job to earn the additional money) in Kim's education this year. This investment will raise Kim's future earnings by $20 comma 000 (in present valueLOADING... terms). If they stay together, they will share the benefit from the additional earnings. However, the probability is 20% that they will split up in the future. If they were married (or in a civil union) and then split, Andy would get half of Kim's additional earnings. If they were living together without any legal ties and they split, then Andy would get nothing. Suppose that Andy is risk neutral. Will Andy invest in Kim's education? Does your answer depend on the couple's legal status? A. Andy will invest in Kim's education only if they have legal ties. B. Andy will not invest in Kim's education regardless of legal ties. C. Andy will invest in Kim's education regardless of legal ties. D. Andy will invest in Kim's education only if they do not have legal ties. E. Andy will be indifferent about investing in Kim's education regardless of legal ties.
Answer:
Will Andy invest in Kim's education?
Yes, he should. The expected benefits from investing in Kim's education are higher than the costs regardless of their legal status.Does your answer depend on the couple's legal status?
C. Andy will invest in Kim's education regardless of legal ties.Explanation:
if Andy and Kim are not married:
initial investment $14,000
expected benefits $20,000 x (1 - 20%) = $16,000
expected gain = $16,000 - $14,000 = $2,000
If Andy and Kim are married:
expected benefits [$20,000 x (1 - 20%)] + ($20,000 x 20% x 1/2) = $16,000 + $2,000 = $18,000
expected gain = $18,000 - $14,000 = $4,000
Indicate how each of the following would shift the (1) marginal-cost curve, (2) average-variable-cost curve, (3) average-fixed-cost curve, and (4) average-total-cost curve of a manufacturing firm. In each case specify the direction of the shift.
a. A reduction in business property taxes.b. An increase in the nominal wages of production workers.c. A decrease in the price of electricity.d. An increase in insurance rates on plant and equipment.e. An increase in transportation costs.
Answer:
a. A reduction in business property taxes: MC-No change; AVC-No change; AFC-Shift down; ATC-Shift down. (Fixed cost)
b. An increase in the nominal wages of production workers: MC-Shift up; AVC-Shift up; AFC-No change; ATC- Shift up. (Variable cost)
c. A decrease in the price of electricity: MC-Shift down; AVC-Shift down; AFC-No change; ATC-Shift down. (Variable cost)
d. An increase in insurance rates on plant and equipment: MC-No change; AVC-No change; AFC-Shift up; ATC-Shift up. (Fixed cost)
e. An increase in transportation costs: MC-Shift up; AVC-Shift up; AFC-No change; ATC-Shift up. (Variable cost)
Explanation:
Where;
MC is the Marginal Cost.
AVC is the Average Variable Cost.
AFC is the Average Fixed Cost.
ATC is the Average Total Cost.
1. Marginal Cost (MC) can be defined as the cost incurred in the production of one unit of a product.
2. Average Variable Cost (AVC) can be defined as the total variable cost per unit of production. It is calculated by dividing total variable cost (TVC) by total output of production (Q);
AVC = \frac{TVC}{Q}
3. Average Fixed Cost can be defined as the fixed cost per unit of production. It is calculated by dividing fixed cost (FC) by total output of production (Q);
AFC = \frac{FC}{Q}
4. Average Total Cost (ATC) can be defined as the overall cost of production divided by total output of production. It is calculated by dividing total cost by total output of production or by adding TVC and TFC.
[tex]ATC = TVC + TFC[/tex]
One year ago, you purchased a newly-issued TIPS bond that has a 6% coupon rate, five years to maturity, and a par value of $1,000. The average inflation rate over the year was 4.2%. What is the amount of the coupon payment you will receive, and what is the current face value of the bond
Answer:
Amount of the coupon payment $62.52
Current face value of the bond $1,042
Explanation:
The bond price, which will be indexed to the inflation rate will be:
$1,000*1.042
= $1,042
The coupon interest payment will be based on the coupon rate as well as the new face value.
Therefore the interest amount will be:
$1,042*.06
= $62.52
Direct Materials Variances The following data relate to the direct materials cost for the production of 10,000 automobile tires: Actual: 145,000 lbs. at $2.80 per lb. Standard: 150,000 lbs. at $2.75 per lb. a. Determine the direct materials price variance, direct materials quantity variance, and total direct materials cost variance. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number. Direct Materials Price Variance $ Direct Materials Quantity Variance $ Total Direct Materials Cost Variance $ b. The direct materials price variance should normally be reported to the . If lower amounts of direct materials had been used because of production efficiencies, the variance would be reported to the . If the favorable use of raw materials had been caused by the purchase of higher-quality raw materials, the variance should be reported to the .
Answer:
direct materials price variance = $7,250
direct materials quantity variance = - $13,750
total direct materials cost variance = - $6,500
The direct materials price variance should normally be reported to the Purchasing Manager.
Variance in direct materials used would be reported to the Production Manager
The favorable variance caused by purchase of higher-quality raw materials would be reported to Purchasing Manager
Explanation:
direct materials price variance = (Aq × Ap) - (Aq × Sp)
= (145,000 × $2.80) - (145,000 × $2.75)
= $7,250 A
direct materials quantity variance = (Aq - Sp) - (Sq × Sp)
= (145,000 × $2.75) - (150,000 × $2.75)
= $13,750 F
total direct materials cost variance = direct materials price variance + direct materials quantity variance
= $7,250 A + $13,750 F
= $6,500 F
The direct materials price variance should normally be reported to the Purchasing Manager.
Variance in direct materials used would be reported to the Production Manager
The favorable variance caused by purchase of higher-quality raw materials would be reported to Purchasing Manager
Note
Variances are reported to responsible managers.
A corporate bond has a face value of $1,000 and a coupon rate of 9.5%. The bond matures in 12 years and has a current market price of $1,100. If the corporation sells more bonds it will incur flotation costs of $48 per bond. If the corporate tax rate is 35%, what is the after-tax cost of debt capital
Answer:
5.71%
Explanation:
The after tax cost of debt=pretax cost of debt*(1-t)
where t is the tax rate of 35% or 0.35
pretax cost of debt=yield to maturity
The yield to maturity can be determined using rate formula in excel as below:
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
nper is the number of coupon interest payable by the bonds i.e 12 coupons in 12 years
pmt is the annual coupon=$1000*9.5%=$95
pv is the current market price-flotation cost=$1,100-$48=$1052
fv is the face value of $1000
=rate(12,95,-1052,1000)=8.78%
After tax cost of debt=8.78% *(1-0.35)=5.71%
Joe lost a substantial amount gambling at a race track today. On the last race of the day, he decides to make a large enough bet on a longshot so that, if he wins, he will make up for his earlier losses and break even on the day. His friend Sue, who is up for the day, makes just a small final bet so that she will end up ahead for the day even if she loses the last race. This is typical race track behavior for winners and losers. Would you explain this behavior using over-confidence bias, prospect theory, or some other principle of behavioral economics? Joe and Sue's behavior can be explained by A. the gambler's fallacy because they do not believe past events affect current, independent outcomes. B. overconfidence because they are overconfident they will win on the day's last bet. C. the certainty effect because they place too little weight on outcomes that they consider to be certain relative to risky outcomes. D. the reflection effect because their attitudes toward risk are symmetric for gains and losses. E. prospect theory because they are making decisions relative to their wealth at the start of the day.
Answer:
A. the gamblers fallacy
Explanation:
This is because he is down a lot but he is still going to take the shot.

During April, the first production department of a process manufacturing system completed its work on 355,000 units of a product and transferred them to the next department. Of these transferred units, 71,000 were in process in the production department at the beginning of April and 284,000 were started and completed in April. April's beginning inventory units were 65% complete with respect to materials and 35% complete with respect to conversion. At the end of April, 93,000 additional units were in process in the production department and were 90% complete with respect to materials and 40% complete with respect to conversion. The production department had $1,106,991 of direct materials and $800,823 of conversion costs charged to it during April. Also, its beginning inventory of $207,646 consists of $165,239 of direct materials cost and $42,407 of conversion costs.
1. Compute the direct materials cost per equivalent unit for April. (Round "Cost per EUP" to 2 decimal places.)
2. Compute the conversion cost per equivalent unit for April. (Round "Cost per EUP" to 2 decimal places.)
3. Using the FIFO method, assign April's costs to the department's output-specifically, its units transferred to the next department and its ending work in process inventory. (Round "Cost per EUP" to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
1. $3.01
2.$2.20
3.
units transferred to the next department = $1,781,006
ending work in process inventory = $333,777
Explanation:
1. direct materials cost per equivalent unit for April.
The first step is to calculate the Total Equivalent units for Direct Materials
To finish opening work in progress ( 71,000 units × 0% ) = 0
Started and Completed during the period ( 284,000 × 100%) = 284,000
Closing Work In Process ( 93,000 × 90%) = 83,700
Total Equivalent units for Direct Materials = 367,700
Then Calculate the cost cost per equivalent unit
Cost per equivalent unit = Current Period Cost / Total Equivalent units
= $1,106,991 / 367,700
= $3.01058
= $3.01
2. conversion cost per equivalent unit for April.
The first step is to calculate the Total Equivalent units for Conversion
To finish opening work in progress ( 71,000 units × 60% ) = 42,600
Started and Completed during the period ( 284,000 × 100%) = 284,000
Closing Work In Process ( 93,000 × 40%) = 37,200
Total Equivalent units for Direct Materials = 363,800
Then Calculate the cost cost per equivalent unit
Cost per equivalent unit = Current Period Cost / Total Equivalent units
= $800,823 / 363,800
= $2.20127
= $2.20
3.assign April's costs to the department's output
Completed and Transferred
Opening Work In Process Cost $207,646
Add To finish Opening Work In Process :
Direct Materials ( 0 × $3.01) $0
Conversion Costs ( 42,600 × $2.20) $93,720
Add Started and Completed Costs (284,000 × $5.21) $1,479,640
Total Cost transferred $1,781,006
Ending Work In Process
Direct Materials ( 83,700 × $3.01) = $251,937
Conversion ( 37,200 × $2.20) = $81,840
Total Cost = $333,777

Paul Company had 100,000 shares of common stock outstanding on January 1, 2016. On September 30, 2016, Paul sold 50,000 shares of common stock for cash. Paul also had 11,000 shares of convertible preferred stock outstanding throughout 2016. The preferred stock is $100 par, 5%, and is convertible into 3 shares of common for each share of preferred. Paul also had 520, 8%, convertible bonds outstanding throughout 2016. Each $1,000 bond is convertible into 30 shares of common stock. The bonds sold originally at face value. Reported net income for 2016 was $320,000 with a 40% tax rate. Common shareholders received $2.20 per share dividends after preferred dividends were paid in 2016. RequiredCompute basic and diluted earnings per share for 2016. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
basic earnings per share (EPS) = $2.36
diluted EPS = $1.64
Explanation:
weighted average common stocks:
January 1: 100,000 shares x 12/12 = 100,000
September 30: sold 50,000 shares x 3/12 = 12,500
total 112,500
net income = $320,000
preferred dividends = $100 x 5% x 11,000 = $55,000
diluted shares:
preferred stocks = 11,000 x 3 = 33,000
convertible bonds = 520 x 30 = 15,600
total 48,600
basic earnings per share (EPS) = (net income - preferred dividends) / weighted average shares = ($320,000 - $55,000) / 112,500 = $2.36
diluted EPS = (net income - preferred dividends )/ (weighted average shares + convertible preferred stocks + convertible bonds) = ($320,000 - $55,000) / (112,500 + 48,600) = $1.64

d) $726 loss.
Answer:
$1,650.
Note: The correct asnwer is $1,650 based on the information provided in the question but it is not included in the option. Kindly confirm this from your teacher.
Explanation:
Stockholders' Equity at January 1, 2020 can be obtained using the accounting equation stated as follows:
Assets = Stockholders' Equity + Liabilities
Since on January 1, 2020, we have:
Assets = $4,220
Stockholders' Equity = ?
Liabilities = $2,570
Substituting the values into the accounting equation above, we have:
$4,220 = Stockholders' Equity + $2,570
Rearranging, we have:
Stockholders' Equity = $4,220 - $2,570 = $1,650
Therefore, Stockholders' Equity at January 1, 2020 is $1,650.
Duck Company produces a product which sells for $40. Variable manufacturing costs are $18 per unit. Fixed manufacturing costs are $5 per unit based on the current level of activity, and fixed selling and administrative costs are $4 per unit. A selling commission of 15% of the selling price is paid on each unit sold. The contribution margin per unit is:Multiple Choice$22$16$7$17
Answer:
Contribution margin = $16
Explanation:
Contribution is the difference between the selling price and the variable cost.
Contribution margin = (Sales - variable cost )
Variable cost = Variable manufacturing + Variable selling cost
Variable cost = 18 + (15%× 40) = 24
Contribution margin = 40 - 24 = $16
Contribution margin = $16

Current assets for Bush Corporation are $260,000.00 and total assets are $600,000.00. Current liabilities are $170,000.00 and total liabilities are $300,000.00. Included in the current assets are merchandise inventory and prepaid expenses of $25,000.00 and $15,000.00, respectively. What is the acid-test ratio? A. 1.56 B. 0.87
Answer:
The acid test ratio is 1.38
Explanation:
The acid test ratio gives an indication of how easy it is for the company to pay back its short term obligations without considering inventory.
Acid test ratio=current assets-merchandise inventory/current liabilities
current assets is $260,000
current liabilities is $170,000
merchandise inventory is $25,000
acid test ratio=($260,000-$25,000)/$170,000= 1.38

A company is set to launch a new product line. At first, only the brand's logo is displayed in various media, without any explanation of what the brand is or what the brand does. Greater familiarity with the logo, in and of itself, tends to make consumers like the brand more. This strategy is known as:
Answer:
Mere exposure effect.
Explanation:
Just as the name sounds "mere exposure", this is explained to be a phenomenon where trust is build on familiarity. Constant usage, constant familiarizing with a particular person, object or product makes a person trust it more than others or its substitutes. This effect according to research and natural order is seen to be psychological that is why the company in the case above used only their logo in all media sampling and other adverts first just to trap the minds of those familiar with their brands before the advert. Simply here, a user can easily trust to buy the new product based on the older products.

Jetz is the leading manufacturer of personal computers. In a recent year, it reported the following in dollars in millions: Net sales revenue $ 76,131 Cost of sales 59,344 Beginning inventory 1,760 Ending inventory 1,860 Required: Determine the inventory turnover ratio and average days to sell inventory for the current year. (Use 365 days a year. Round your intermediate calculations and final answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Net sales revenue $ 76,131
Cost of sales 59,344
Beginning inventory 1,760
Ending inventory 1,860
First, we need to calculate the average inventory:
Average inventory= (beginning inventory + ending inventory)/2
Average inventory= (1,760 + 1,860)/2
Average inventory= 1,810
Now, the inventory turnover ratio:
inventory turnover ratio= cost of goods sold/ average inventory
inventory turnover ratio= 59,344/1,810
inventory turnover ratio= 32.79
Finally, the average days to sell inventory:
average days to sell inventory= 365/inventory turnover
average days to sell inventory= 365/32.79
average days to sell inventory= 332.21 days

Storytime Park competes with Splash World by providing a variety of rides. Storytime sells tickets at $ 100 per person as a one-day entrance fee. Variable costs are $ 60 per person, and fixed costs are $ 254 comma 000 per month. Compute Storytime Park's contribution margin ratio. Carry your computation to two decimal places. Use the contribution margin ratio approach to determine the sales revenue Storytime Park needs to break even.
Answer:
contribution margin ratio= 0.4
Break-even point (dollars)= $635,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Storytime sells tickets at $ 100 per person as a one-day entrance fee.
Variable costs are $ 60 per person, and fixed costs are $254,000 per month.
To calculate the contribution margin ratio, we need to use the following formula:
contribution margin ratio= contribution margin/selling price
contribution margin ratio= (100 - 60)/100
contribution margin ratio= 0.4
To calculate the sales required to break even, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 254,000/0.4
Break-even point (dollars)= $635,000
An insurer wishes to compare the information given in an insurance application with previous insurance applications by the same applicant but for different companies. What organization can help the insurer accomplish this?
Answer:
The Medical Information Bureau
Explanation:
The Medical Information Bureau, established in 1902 has the responsibility of holding in their database, and crosschecking the past information records of applicants and determining if there are any errors or irregularities in documentation. They make this information available through a code so as to ensure the maintenance of privacy.
So, when an Insurer wants to crosscheck the information given in an insurance application, with previous insurance applications by the same applicant, the right place to go to would be the Medical Information Bureau, because they have the database.
Northwest Fur Co. started the year with $92,000 of merchandise inventory on hand. During the year, $425,000 in merchandise was purchased on account with credit terms of 1/15, n/45. All discounts were taken. Northwest paid freight-in charges of $7,000. Merchandise with an invoice amount of $5,000 was returned for credit. Cost of goods sold for the year was $372,000. What is ending inventory
Answer:
$ 142,800.00
Explanation:
The ending inventory can be computed by rearranging the cost of goods sold formula:
cost of goods sold=Beginning inventory+net purchases-ending inventory
ending inventory=beginning inventory+net purchases-cost of goods sold
beginning inventory is $92,000
Net purchases=purchases-discount+freight-in charges-purchase return
net purchases=$425,000-($425,000*1%)+$7000-($5000*99%)=$422,800.00
cost of goods sold is $372,000
ending inventory=$92,000+$422,800-$372,000=$ 142,800.00
During 2016, the Tastee Partnership reported income before guaranteed payments of $92,000. Stella owns a 90% profits interest and works 1,600 hours per year in the business. Euclid owns a 10% profits interest and performs no services for the partnership during the year. For services performed in 2016, Stella receives a "salary" of $6,000 per month. Euclid withdrew $10,000 from the partnership during the year.
If required, round your answers to the nearest dollar.
a. What is the amount of guaranteed payments made by the partnership during 2016?
b. How much is the partnership’s ordinary income after any deduction for guaranteed payments?
c. For 2016, how much income will Stella and Euclid report?
Stella: $___________
Euclid: $___________
Expert Answer
Answer: a. $72,000
b) $20,000
c) Stella $90,000
Euclid $2,000
Explanation:
a) The guaranteed payments in this scenario will be the salary that Stella receives per month. Stella is said to receive $6,000 per month.
The period is determined to be a year so she received $6,000 per month for 12 months.
= 6,000 * 12
= $72,000
b) With an income of $92,000, the partnership made guaranteed payments to Stella to the tune of $72,000. The amount after the payment is,
= 92,000 - 72,000
= $20,000
c) The Income after the Payments is $20,000.
Stella is said to have 90% of that so she gets,
= 20,000 * 90%
= $18,000.
Adding that to the $72,000 she was paid,
= 72,000 + 18,000
= $90,000
Stella will report $90,000 as income.
Euclid with 10% of the profit sharing ratio will report,
= 10% * 20,000
= $2,000
Euclid will report $2,000 as Net Income.
The $10,000 withdrawn by Euclid is not considered income.
Arkansas Corp. is preparing its statement of cash flows using the indirect method. It provides the following information about transactions for the year: Plant assets, netlong dashbeginning balance: $ 110 comma 000 Plant assets, netlong dashending balance: $ 145 comma 000 Equipment was purchased for $ 65 comma 000 with cash. Equipment with a net asset value of $12,000 was sold for $ 17 comma 000. Depreciation Expense of $ 17 comma 000 was recorded during the year. What was the amount of net cash provided by (used for) investing activities?
Answer:
($48,000)
Explanation:
The computation of net cash provided by investing activities is shown below:-
Cash flow from investing activities
Purchase of Equipment ($65,000)
Sale of Existing Equipment $17,000
Net Cash from Investing activities ($48,000)
As the investing activities recorded those cash transactions which are related to the purchase and sale of long term assets. The purchased is cash outflow as cash is gone so it would be shown in a negative sign while the sale is cash inflow as cash is come so it would be shown in a positive sign
Suppose a company, Re-Tire, has come out with a new approach to solve the problems of punctures. Its new wheel, which is made of steel, allows rubber "tread segments" of tire tread to be bolted directly to the wheel (see image; tire not actual size). No air is required, so the tire can’t go flat, and if one of the segments becomes damaged, the operator using basic hand tools can merely replace the segment without removing the wheel and dismounting and reinstalling the reparied tire. With an ordinary tire, the wheel has to be removed and the tire dismounted at a shop using special tools. The benefit is that the operator can be back to work almost immediately.Assume Re-Tire has a patent on the technology to create the wheel and tread segments, which requires extensive computer simulation in the design of the tread segments. Assume as well that because the technology for creating the rubber segments is less complex than that for air-filled tires, the cost of production for Re-Tire is approximately 20% lower than for regular tires. The steel wheels for the segments are roughly equivalent in cost to those used for regular air-filled tires (the wheels are not interchangeable). Around the world there are about 800,000 skid steer loaders in operation in various industries, and 90% of them use one of just two tire sizes. The replacement tire market for the loaders is over $700 million per year. What price should Re-Tire set for its combination wheel/tread segment product? Assume the standard wheel/air tire combination is $250.
Answer:
The description of the given question is described in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Throughout my personal view, the cost including its combination wheel/tread sequence good or service should be set at $200 for Re-Tire. As the conventional wheel/air gear combined effect is $250 as well as the level of manufacture besides Re-Tire is about 20% lower than those for frequent tires.The profit of such a 20% reduction costs should be managed to pass forward with employees to gain the start promoting including the latest design and technical method that used produce such tires, and several other costs associated with that as well.The value proposition and perhaps even the accessibility added benefit will surely make clients consider buying but also setting up such tires, and also becoming frequent or long-term buyers of Re-Tire.
