Answer:
A. How much time would it take the two students to complete the project if they divide the two tasks equally?
James needs 10 hours to complete half the task and Jane needs 16 hours to do her part = total work 26 hoursB. How much time would it take the two students to complete the project if they use comparative advantage and specialize in calculating or preparing slides?
If they specialize, then Jane should do the calculations (12 hours) and James should prepare the slides (10 hours) = total work 22 hoursC. If James and Jane have the same opportunity cost of $5 per hour, is there a better solution than for each to specialize in calculating or preparing slides?
Yes, Jane should pay James so that he does the whole work all by himself. Since James opportunity cost is $5 per hour, his total economic cost of doing the work is $100, and half of that is $50. Jane's economic cost of doing her part is $60 (= 12 x $5), so if she pays any amount lower than $60 and equal or higher than $50 to James, then they would both win.Explanation:
50 powerpoint slides
James needs 10 hours to do the calculations and 10 hours to prepare the slides = 20 hours total / 2 = 10 hours
Jane needs 12 hours to do the calculations and 20 hours to prepare the slides = 32 hours total / 2 = 16 hours
James's opportunity cost of doing the calculations or preparing the slides is 10 / 10 = 1
Jane's opportunity cost of doing one hour of calculations is 20 / 12 = 1.67 hours of preparing slides.
Jane's opportunity cost of doing one hour of preparing slides is 12 / 20 = 0.6 hours of calculations.
Marshall Company purchases a machine for $200,000. The machine has an estimated residual value of $80,000. The company expects the machine to produce four million units. The machine is used to make 440,000 units during the current period. If the units-of-production method is used, the depreciation expense for this period is:
Answer:
The depreciation expense for this period is: $13,200
Explanation:
The depreciation charge using units of production is calculated as follows :
Depreciation Expense = (Cost - Salvage Value) × (Period`s Production / Total Expected Production)
= ($200,000 - $80,000) × 440,000 units / 4,000,000 units
= $13,200
Conclusion:
The depreciation expense for this period is: $13,200
Assume the profit margin and dividend payout ratio are constant. By what amount will retained earnings increase if sales are projected to increase by 11 percent? Currently, the firm’s sales =$4,700, net income is $420, total assets=7890, dividends=125, A/P =790, LTD= 3130, and common stock=2780, and retained earnings =1190.
Answer:
The amount will retained earnings increase if sales are projected to increase by 11 percent is $327,45
Explanation:
In order to calculate the amount will retained earnings increase if sales are projected to increase by 11 percent we would have to make the following calculation:
amount will retained earnings increase=(net income-dividends)*increase percentage
amount will retained earnings increase= ($420-$125)*1.11
amount will retained earnings increase= $ 327.45
The amount will retained earnings increase if sales are projected to increase by 11 percent is $327,45
You and your new spouse each bring home $1400 each month after taxes and other payroll deductions. By living frugally, you intend to live on just one paycheck and save the other in a mutual fund yielding 7.83% compounded monthly. How long will it take to have enough for a 20% down payment on a $165,000 condo in the city? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:
22 months
Explanation:
The 20% down payment which is target savings =$165,000*20%=$33,000
The are two paychecks which is $1,400 each
monthly savings is one paycheck=$1,400
rate of compounding is 7.83% yearly=7.83%/12=0.006525 monthly
The number of months the savings will reach $33,000 can be computed using the nper formula in excel as shown below:
=nper(rate,pmt,-pv,fv)
rate is the monthly rate i,e 0.006525
pmt is the monthly savings of $1,400
pv is the present worth of the savings which is unknown
fv is the future value of target savings which is $33,000
=nper(0.006525,-1400,0,33000)=22 months approximately
Chico’s Clockworks uses job order costing for its custom clock-making business. Job GF1260 is a custom-made grandfather clock. Chico’s job cost sheet for Job GF1260 shows a total cost of $4,265, including direct labor of 50 hours at $20 per hour. Overhead is applied at 100% of direct labor cost. What is the direct materials cost for Job GF1260? A : $3,455 B : $1,000 C : $2,265 D : $2,895
Answer:
Option C,$2,265 , is correct
Explanation:
Labor cost =direct labor hours*rate per hour
direct labor hours is 50 hours
direct labor cost per hour is $20
labor cost=50*$20=$1,000
Overhead was applied as 100% of direct labor cost
overhead=100%*$1000=$1000
Total cost of job=direct material cost+direct labor+overhead
direct material cost=total cost-direct labor-overhead
direct material cost=$4,265-$1000-$1000=$2,265
The correct option is C,$2,265

This year, Druehl, Inc., will produce 57 comma 60057,600 hot water heaters at its plant in Delaware, in order to meet expected global demand. To accomplish this, each laborer at the plant will work 160160 hours per month. If the labor productivity at the plant is 0.250.25 hot water heaters per labor hour, how many laborers are employed at the plant
Answer:
The number of laborers employed by the plant is 120 laborers
Explanation:
According to given data Annual output = 57600 water heaters.
So the output per month = 57,600 / 12 months = 4,800 water heaters
Each labor works 160 hours per month
Suppose ,there are x number of laborers employed by the plant. So,x number of laborer will work 160x hours per month. So the labor input = 160x per month
Labor productivity = 0.25
Labor productivity = Output / Labor input
0.25 = 4800 / 160x
25/100 = 4800/160x
160x = (4800 X 100) / 25
160x = 19200
x = 19200/160
x = 120
Therefore, the number of laborers employed by the plant is 120 laborers
Consider three imaginary countries. In Aire, saving amounts to $4,000 and consumption amounts to $12,000; in Bovina, saving amounts to $3,000 and consumption amounts to $24,000; and in Cartar, saving amounts to $10,000 and consumption amounts to $50,000. The saving rate is
Answer:
The savings rate is higher in Aire than in Carttar and it is higher in cartar than in Bolivia.
Explanation:
To calculate savings rate:
[(Total income - consumption)/total income] x 100
Where total income = consumption + savings.
The savings rates are as follows
Aires: [(16000 -12,000)/16000] x 100
= 400/16
= 25%
Bovina: [(27000 - 24000)/27000] x 100
= 300/27
= 11.11%
Cartar: [(60000 - 50000)/60000] x 100
= 100/6
= 16.67%
Handel Company uses the allowance method for estimating uncollectible accounts.
January 5 Sold merchandise to Terry Richman for $2,000, terms n/15.
April 15 Received $600 from Terry Richman on account.
August 21 Wrote off as uncollectible the balance of the Terry Richman account when she declared bankruptcy.
October 5 Unexpectedly received a check for $300 from Terry Richman. It is not felt any more will be received from Richman.
Prepare journal entries to record the above transactions.
Answer: Please refer to Explanation.
Explanation:
January 2
DR Accounts Receivable - Terry Richman $2,000
CR Sales $2,000
(To record sale of goods to Terry Richman on Account)
April 15
DR Cash $600
CR Accounts Receivable - Terry Richman $600
(To record cash received from Terry Richman)
August 21
DR Allowance for Doubtful Debt $1,400
CR Accounts Receivable - Terry Richman $1,400
(To record write off of Terry Richman Account)
October 5
DR Accounts Receivable - Terry Richman $300
CR Allowance for Doubtful Debt $300
October 5
DR Cash $300
CR Accounts Receivable $300
(To record Cash Received from Terry Richman)
Workings and Notes.
Terry Richman paid $600 out of their $2,000 debt before declaring bankruptcy.
= 2,000 - 600
= $1,400.
This is why $1,400 was the written off figure.
When an Receivables account is written off, it is debited to the Allowance for Doubtful Debt Account.
When money is unexpectedly received after a write off, the amount first has to be retrieved from the Allowance for Doubtful Debt and taken back to the Accounts Receivables and then it can be recorded as Cash received.
Darian and Ivan have been friends since college. They started a limousine rental business from scratch in Philadelphia. They are now contemplating opening an additional location for their business in Baltimore. They have crunched the numbers and discover it would mean adding $2 million more in expenses, and their profit would increase by $250,000 each year for the next 5 years (all other things equal). Darian and Ivan decide
Answer: c) to not open in a new city because the marginal costs prove to be too high.
Explanation:
This decision depends on if the new location will be worth the investment of $2,000,000 put into it. To check whether it will be worth it, the total Revenue expected over the amount of time that the location would be making revenue should be added up. If the sum is greater than $2 million then it is a viable Investment. If it is not, it should not be picked.
The prospective location is estimated to be able to add $250,000 per year in revenue over 5 years.
In 5 years that means
= 250,000 * 5
= $1,250,000 would be made in revenue.
This Revenue of $1,250,000 is far short of the $2 million that will be added in Expenses and so the Investment is not viable.
Darian and Ivan should not open in the new city because the Marginal Cost of Investment is too high to be covered by the Marginal Revenue.
Suppose you deposited $27,000 in a bank account that pays 5.25% with daily compounding based on a 360-day year. How much would be in the account after 8 months, assuming each month has 30 days
Answer:
FV= $27,962.78
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Suppose you deposited $27,000 in a bank account that pays 5.25% with daily compounding based on a 360-day year.
First, we need to calculate the daily interest:
Interest rate= 0.0525/360= 0.000146
Now, using the following formula, we can determine the final value:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 27,000*(1.000146^240)
FV= $27,962.78

What is the purpose of a labor union?
In large high rise condominiums, each unit is owned by individual owners. The elevators, parking garage, and swimming pool are called: A. proprietary elements B. common area elements C. separate property D. community property
Answer:
B. common area elements
Explanation:
Common Area elements are those spaces in real estate that are meant for general use. They are not owned exclusively by one person but are rather shared by the people who live within the area. The people pay some maintenance fee to keep the common area elements in good conditions.
In condominiums, the elevators, parking garage, and swimming pools are collectively shared by residents, and they all pay for the maintenance of these properties. Therefore, they can be said to be Common Area elements. Common Area elements can be found in residential, business and Government-owned properties.
Answer:
B. common area elements
Explanation:
-Proprietary elements refer to something that has a trademark or it is protected by property rights and can only be used or sold by the owner.
-Common area elements refer to the parts of a condominium that can be used by all the people living there and that belong to all the owners.
-Separate property refers to a property that people get before marriage and doesn't count as part of the marital property.
-Community property refers to property purchased during marriage that is considered marital property.
According to this, the answer is that the elevators, parking garage, and swimming pool are called common area elements.
Mary Willis is the advertising manager for Flint Shoe Store. She is currently working on a major promotional campaign. Her ideas include the installation of a new lighting system and increased display space that will add $30,400 in fixed costs to the $272,000 currently spent. In addition, Mary is proposing that a 5% price decrease ($40 to $38) will produce a 20% increase in sales volume (20,000 to 24,000). Variable costs will remain at $24 per pair of shoes. Management is impressed with Mary’s ideas but concerned about the effects that these changes will have on the break-even point and the margin of safety.
A: Compute the current break-even point in units, and compare it to the break-even point in units if Mary’s ideas are used. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 1,225.)B: Compute the margin of safety ratio for current operations and after Mary’s changes are introduced. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 15%.)C: Prepare a CVP income statement for current operations and after Mary’s changes are introduced. Would you make the changes suggested?
Answer:
A. Current = 17,000, After Mary Ideas = 21,600
B. Current = 15% After Mary Ideas = 10%
C.
Current After Mary Ideas
Sales 800,000 912,000
Less Variable Costs (480,000) (576,000)
Contribution 320,000 336,000
Less Fixed Costs (272,000) (302,400)
Net Income/(Loss) 48,000 33,600
Conclusion :
No will not make the changes
Because they result in decrease in net income by $14,400
Explanation:
A: Compute the current break-even point in units
Current
break-even point in units = Fixed Costs / Contribution per unit
= $272,000 / ($40 - $24)
= 17,000 pairs of shoes
Mary ideas
break-even point in units = Fixed Costs / Contribution per unit
= ($272,000 + $30,400) / ($38 - $24)
= 21,600 pairs of shoes
B: Compute the margin of safety ratio
Current
margin of safety ratio = Expected Sales - Break even Sales / (Expected Sales)
= (20,000 - 17,000) / 20,000
= 15%
Mary Ideas
margin of safety ratio = Expected Sales - Break even Sales / (Expected Sales)
= (24,000 - 21,600) / 24,000
= 10%

A Canadian subsidiary of a U.S. parent firm is instructed to bill an export to the parent in U.S. dollars. The Canadian subsidiary records the accounts receivable in Canadian dollars and notes a profit on the sale of goods. Later, when the U.S. parent pays the subsidiary the contracted U.S. dollar amount, the Canadian dollar has appreciated 10% against the U.S. dollar. In this example, the Canadian subsidiary will record a
Answer:
10% foreign exchange loss on the U.S. dollar accounts receivable
Explanation:
Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that in this example the Canadian subsidiary will record a 10% foreign exchange loss on the U.S. dollar accounts receivable. That is because as the Canadian dollar has appreciated 10% against the U.S. dollar, it means that it has lost 10% of it's buying power due to its foreign exchange price change, thus resulting in a loss which needs to be recorded.
Karl Corporation was organized on January 2, 2018. During 2018, Karl issued 40,000 shares at $24 per share, purchased 6,000 shares of treasury stock at $26 per share, and had net income of $600,000. What is the total amount of stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2018?
Answer:
$1,404,000
Explanation:
To calculate the total amount of stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2018 you have to use the following formula:
Stockholder’s equity= Paid-up capital+Retained earnings-Treasury stock
Paid-up capital= $24*40,000= $960,000
Retained earnings= $600,000
Treasury stock= $26*6,000= $156,000
Now, you can replace the values on the formula:
Stockholder’s equity= $960,000+$600,000-$156,000
Stockholder’s equity= $1,404,000
According to this, the total amount of stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2018 is $1,404,000.
As the information technology advances and consumers buy products requiring more and more technology, the wages of people with high level programming and other technical skills would a. increase as the supply of high tech skills increases. b. increase as the demand for high tech skills increases. c. not be affected by consumers’ purchases d. decrease as the supply of high tech skills increases.
Answer:
b. increase as the demand for high tech skills increases.
Explanation:
Due to the fact that the demand for technological products is increasing, the demand for people who possess high tech skills would also increase as firms would want to provide more tech products to satisfy the demand of consumers.
This would lead to an increase the demand for people with high tech skills. When demand exceeds supply, wages would rise.

Mouret Corporation uses the following activity rates from its activity-based costing to assign overhead costs to products.
Activity Cost Pools Activity Rate
Setting up batches $92.68 per batch
Processing customer orders $95.08 per customer order
Assembling products $3.41 per assembly hour
Last year, Product N79A required 28 batches,
6 customer orders, and 712 assembly hours.
Required:
How much total overhead cost would be assigned to Product N79A using the company's activity-based costing system?
Answer:
$5,593.44
Explanation:
The computation of the total overhead cost assigned to Product N79A using the activity based costing is shown below:
Total overhead cost assigned is
= Setting up batches cost + processing customer orders cost + assembly products cost
As we know that
Overhead Cost assigned = Activity Rate × Number of activity
So,
Setting up batches cost = $92.68 × 28 batches = $2,595.04
Processing customer orders cost = $95.08 × 6 customer orders = $570.48
And,
Assembling products cost = $3.41 × 712 assembly hours = $2,427.92
So,
Total overhead cost assigned to Product N79A is

Make-or-Buy Decision Somerset Computer Company has been purchasing carrying cases for its portable computers at a purchase price of $24 per unit. The company, which is currently operating below full capacity, charges factory overhead to production at the rate of 40% of direct labor cost. The unit costs to produce comparable carrying cases are expected to be as follows: Direct materials $8.00 Direct labor 12.00 Factory overhead (40% of direct labor) 4.80 Total cost per unit $24.80 If Somerset Computer Company manufactures the carrying cases, fixed factory overhead costs will not increase and variable factory overhead costs associated with the cases are expected to be 25% of the direct labor costs.
a. Prepare a differential analysis dated April 30 to determine whether the company should make (Alternative 1) or buy (Alternative 2) the carrying case. If an amount is zero, enter "0".
Answer:
Differential analysis as at April 30
Make (Alternative 1) Buy (Alternative 2)
Purchase Price $0.00 $24.00
Direct materials $8.00 $0.00
Direct labor $12.00 $0.00
Variable Costs - Case related $3.00 $0.00
Total Cost $23.00 $24.00
Conclusion
Company should make carrying cases instead of purchasing as this is cheaper by $1.00
Explanation:
There is a choice to be made between Make (Alternative 1) and Buy (Alternative 2). Compute the Total costs for these choices.
Ignore the fixed overheads as they are the same for both alternatives and hence irrelevant.
Choose the alternative with lower costs.
