Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Market: gasoline (monopolistic competition with few sellers and many buyers)

a. Large number of buyers

b. Standardized good

c. Full information (not all participants know all the information, but most is available if they search for it)

d. No transaction cost

e. Participants are price takers

Market: barbershop haircuts (monopolistic competition with a lot of sellers and many buyers, but differentiated service)

a. Large number of buyers

d. No transaction cost

e. Participants are price takers

Market: bicycles (resembles a perfect competition market)

a. Large number of buyers

b. Standardized good

c. Full information (not all participants know all the information, but most is available if they search for it)

d. No transaction cost

e. Participants are price takers

Explanation:

No market provides full information to all participants. The closest you can get are some markets where commodities are traded and the price is set be certain exchange institutions. E.g. the Chicago Mercantile Exchange sets the price of agricultural commodities in the US, and most trading companies follow that price but variations still exist (even though they are minimum).

It is not possible for all the consumers of gasoline, haircuts or bicycles to know the exact price of all the goods the services since the price varies from one seller to another. Even if they are part of a retail chain, the price varies. Full information only exists in theoretical models, it doesn't exist in the real world.

March 9 purchase  2 *  $250 =  500

March 22 purchase 2 * $260 = 520

March 30   Purchase 8 * $280 =2,240

Total value of inventory 13 units = $3,490

Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available for sale Minus Ending Inventory

= $11,940 - $3,490

= $8,450

b. FIFO:

March 22   Purchase     5   260     1,300

March 30   Purchase     8   280    2,240

Ending Inventory          13           $3,540

Cost of goods sold = Goods available for sale Minus Ending Inventory

= $11,940 - $3,540

= $8,400

c. LIFO:

Ending Inventory:

March 1  Inventory     13    $230         $2,990

Consider a second-price, sealed-bid auction with a seller who has one unit of the object which he values at s and two buyers 1, 2 who have values of v1 and v2 for the object. The values s, v1, v2 are all independent, private values. Suppose that both buyers know that the seller will submit his own sealed bid of s (and will keep the item if bid s wins), but they do not know the value of s. The buyers know that the seller must submit his bid before seeing the buyer’s bids and they know that the seller will actually run a second price auction with the three bids he has: his own bid and the two buyer’s bids. Each buyer knows his own value but not the other buyer’s value.

Now suppose that the seller opens the bids from the buyers and then submits his own bid after seeing the bids from the two buyers. The seller runs a second price auction with these bids in the sense that the object is awarded to the highests bidder (one of the two buyers or the seller) and that bidder pays the second highest bid. Now is it optimal for the buyers to bid truthfully; that is, should they each bid their true value? Give a brief explanation for your answer.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Given that this is a second price bid auction whereby the second highest bid is the price that the highest bidder pays for the item up for auction sale, so that b1>b2 then b1 gets item for the price of b2.

Truthfulness of true value is the dominant strategy here which means each player should aim to be truthful with their bid regarding their true value regardless of what other bidders are bidding. Therefore truthfulness of value is the optimal strategy with the best payoff for bidders

Explanation:

In the attachment, note that:

On July 14:

Account payable was calculated as:

= $4400 - $300

= $4100

Merchandise Inventory = $4100 × 2%

= $4100 × 2/100

= $4100 × 0.02

= $82

Cash = $4100 - $82 = $4018.

A company reports accounting data in its financial statements. This data is used for financial analyses that provide insights into a company’s strengths, weaknesses, performance in specific areas, and trends in performance. These analyses are often used to compare a company’s performance to that of its competitors, or to its past or expected future performance. Such insight helps managers and analysts improve their decision making. Most decision makers and analysts use five groups of ratios to examine the different aspects of a company’s performance. Indicate whether each of the following statements regarding financial ratios are true or false?
a. The ratios provide an accurate and thorough representation of the Chinese company’s performance.b. The analysis likely includes incorrect and misleading conclusions.

Answers

Answer:

a. False

b. True

Explanation:

Ratio analysis is a very useful method of analyzing a company however it is not necessarily very in-depth. If a company seems to be performing below the industrial average, it would be prudent to check the reasons why the company is doing so.

The advantage of ratio analysis in this instance is that it would help point you in the right direction to know what accounts to analyze more intensely to find out why the Chinese company is not performing up to standard.

Ratio analysis are good but they do not always provide an accurate and thorough representation of a company’s performance therefore relying solely on ratios will lead to an analysis that likely includes incorrect and misleading conclusions.

The Wod Chemical Company produces a chemical compound that is used as a lawn fertilizer. The compound can be produced at a rate of 10,000 pounds per day. Annual demand for the compound is 0.6 million pounds per year. The fixed cost of setting up for a production run of the chemical is $1,500, and the variable cost of production is $3.50 per pound. The company uses an interest rate of 22 percent to account for the cost of capital, and the costs of storage and handling of the chemical amount to 12 percent of the value. Assume that there are 250 working days in a year.
A. What is the optimal size of the production run for this particular compound?
B. What proportion of each production cycle consists of uptime and what proportion consists of downtime?
C. What is the average annual cost of holding and setup attributed to this item? If the compound sells for $3.90 per pound, what is the annual profit the company is realizing from this item?

Answers

Answer:

A. What is the optimal size of the production run for this particular compound?

first we have to determine the holding cost per unit = h = (22% + 012%) x ($3.5) = $1.19 per unit, per year

then we have to calculate the modified holding cost per year = h' = h x [1 / (D/P)] = $1.19 x [1 / (600,000/2,500,000)] = $0.9044 per unit, per year

now we have to substitute h for h' in the EOQ formula:

Q' = √ [(2 x S x D) / h'] = √ [(2 x $1,500 x 600,000) / $0.9044] = 44,612.44 ≈ 44,612 units

B. What proportion of each production cycle consists of uptime and what proportion consists of downtime?

Time between production runs = Q' / D = 44,612 / 600,000 = 0.07435333

Uptime = Q' / P = 44,612 / 2,500,000 = 0.0178448

Downtime = total time - uptime = 0.07435333 - 0.0178448 = 0.05650853

uptime = 0.0178448 / 0.07435333 = 24% of total time

downtime = 0.05650853 / 0.07435333 = 76% of total time

C. What is the average annual cost of holding and setup attributed to this item? If the compound sells for $3.90 per pound, what is the annual profit the company is realizing from this item?

average annual holding cost and setup costs = (AD/Q') + (h'Q'/2) = [($1,500 x 600,000) / 44,612] + [($0.9044 x 44,612) / 2] = $40,144

profit per unit = $3.90 - $3.50 = $0.40 per pound

total annual profit = ($0.40 x 600,000) - $40,144 = $199,856

Calloway Company recorded a right-of-use asset of $790,000 in a 10-year finance lease. The interest rate charged by the lessor was 10%. The balance in the right-of-use asset after two years will be:

Answers

Answer:

$632,000

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of balance in the right of use asset after two years is shown below:

Balance in right of use asset after 2 years is

= Recorded value - ((Recorded value × rate of interest) × number of years)

= $790,000 - (($790,000 × 10%) × 2)

= $790,000 - ($79,000 × 2)

= $790,000 - $158,000

= $632,000

hence, the balance is $632,000

g you are eligible for a 30 year fixed rate home mortgage with 3.6% interest rate what is the maximum loan you can get

Answers

Answer:

the maximum loan is $379,417

Explanation:

The computation of the maximum loan is shown below:

As we know that

Maximum Loan = Present Value of all monthly Payments

=  $1,725 × PVAF(0.3%,360 months)

= $1,725 × [1- (1+0.003)^-360] ÷ 0.003

= $1,725 × 219.9517

=  $379,417

hence, the maximum loan is $379,417

Here the interest rate is divided by 12 and the months should be multiplied by 12 as this is the case of monthly basis

Question 6 of 10
Which economic tool would most likely be used as part of a contractionary
monetary policy?
A. Lowering interest on reserves
B. Reducing the discount rate
C. Raising the reserve requirement
D. Buying treasury securities

Answers

Answer:

C. Raising the reserve requirement

Explanation:

Contractionary monetary policy refers to the Fed's action of reducing money supply in the economy. Reducing the money supply slows down the economy, thereby countering expansion and inflationary pressures. Raising the reserve requirement is one tool that the Fed uses as a contractionary monetary policy.

Reserve requirements refer to the percentage of customer deposits that the Fed requires commercial banks to maintain at all times. An increase in reserve requirement decreases the money available for banks to lend out. Reduced lending means a decrease in the money supply, which results in a decline in the inflation rate.

B.Reducing the discount rate

Explanation:

Calculation of Equivalent units of Production in respect with Raw Materials and Conversion Costs

1. Materials

Ending Work In Process (5,200 × 100%)                                         5,200

Completed and Transferred Out (15,300 × 100%)                         15,300

Equivalent units of Production in respect with Raw Materials     30,500

2. Conversion Costs

Ending Work In Process (5,200 × 30%)                                            1,560

Completed and Transferred Out (15,300 × 100%)                         15,300

Equivalent units of Production in respect with Conversion Cost 16,860

Calculation of Cost per Equivalent unit of production  in respect with Raw Materials and Conversion Costs

Unit Cost = Total Cost ÷ Total Equivalent units

1. Materials

Unit Cost =  $4,305 ÷ 30,500

                = $0.14

2. Conversion Costs

Unit Cost =  ($3,320 + $1,738) ÷ 16,860

                = $0.30

3. Total unit cost

Total unit cost = Material Cost + Conversion Cost

                        = $0.14 + $0.30

                        = $0.44

Calculation of costs assigned to (a) units completed and transferred to Finished Goods and (b) units still in process at June 30.

(a) units completed and transferred to Finished Goods

Total Cost = units completed and transferred out × total unit cost

                 = 15,300 × $0.44

                 = $6,732

(b) units still in process at June 30.

Total Cost = Materials Cost + Conversion Cost

                 = $0.14 × 5,200 + $0.30 × 1,560

                 = $1,196

Fields Company has two manufacturing departments, forming and painting. The company uses the weighted-average method of process costing. At the beginning of the month, the forming department has 36,000 units in inventory, 70% complete as to materials and 30% complete as to conversion costs. The beginning inventory cost of $82,100 consisted of $58,000 of direct materials costs and $24,100 of conversion costs.
During the month, the forming department started 520,000 units. At the end of the month, the forming department had 40,000 units in ending inventory, 85% complete as to materials and 35% complete as to conversion. Units completed in the forming department are transferred to the painting department. Cost information for the forming department is as follows:
Beginning work in process inventory $82,100
Direct materials added during the month 1,942,930
Conversion added during the month 1,359,730
1A. Calculate the equivalent units of production for the forming department.
1B. Calculate the costs per equivalent unit of production for the forming department.
1C. Using the weighted-average method, assign costs to the forming department’s output—specifically, its units transferred to painting and its ending work in process inventory.

Answers

Answer:

beginning WIP 36,000

$58,000 of direct materials costs

$24,100 of conversion costs

units started 520,000

units finished 516,000

materials added during the month $1,942,930

conversion added during the month $1,359,730

ending WIP 40,000

materials 85% complete, EU = 34,000

conversion 35%, EU = 14,000

total equivalent units

materials = 516,000 + 34,000 = 550,000

conversion = 516,000 + 14,000 = 530,000

cost per equivalent unit

materials = ($58,000 + $1,942,930) / 550,000 = $3.63805

conversion = ($24,100 + $1,359,730) / 530,000 = $2.611

total = $6.24905

costs assigned to

units transferred out = $6.24905 x 516,000 = $3,224,511

ending WIP = (34,000 x $3.63805) + (14,000 x $2.611) = $160,249

Based on the above items, please compare and contrast the ratios between the company and the industry.

Required:
Analyze reasons why there could be differences and the overall financial position of the company. Also, what of the ways the company could finance the company without significant negative changes to the above financial metrics (ratios)?

Answers

Answer:

The company has current ratio almost half than the industry average. This is an indication that the company has lesser current assets than industry average. The ability of the company to meet its short term obligations is not suitable as the other companies in the industry are maintaining double current ratio. The ratio should never go below 1 as if it does the company may face its operational financing and working capital management issues.

The debt to equity ratio is significantly higher than the other companies of the same industry. The industry average is 4 whereas the company has ratio 20. This is significantly higher which indicates that there is heavy burden of debt on the company.  High debt/ equity ratio indicates high risks. Investors avoid investing in such companies which have high debt/ equity ratio.

Explanation:

The company can go for equity financing as it will also help reduce its debt / equity ratio. The company will become less riskier and financing will be divided in debt and equity. The debt burden on assets will be reduced. There can be reduction in certain debt covenants. The company can use equity financing to fund its operations as well as purchase of non current assets to increase production and ultimately profitability of the company could rise.

Lemon Corporation generated $324,600 of income from ordinary business operations. It also sold several assets during the year. Compute Lemon’s taxable income under each of the following alternative assumptions about the tax consequences of the asset sales.

a. Lemon recognized a $5,500 capital gain and a $7,400 net Section 1231 loss.
b. Lemon recognized a $6,500 capital loss and a $4,700 net Section 1231 gain.
c. Lemon recognized a $2,500 capital gain, a $3,900 capital loss, and a $3,000 net Section 1231 gain.
d.Lemon recognized $4,000 of depreciation recapture, a $2,000 Section 1231 gain, and a $4,200 Section 1231 loss.

Answers

Answer:

a. Lemon’s taxable income = $322,700

b. Lemon’s taxable income = $324,600

c. Lemon’s taxable income = $326,200

d. Lemon’s taxable income = $326,400

Explanation:

Before the questions are answered, the provisions of section 1231 of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules are quoted as follows:

- If you have a net section 1231 loss, it is an ordinary loss.

- If you have a net section 1231 gain, it is ordinary income up to the amount of your unrecaptured section 1231 losses from previous years. The rest, if any, is a long-term capital gain.

Therefore, net section 1231 loss which is an ordinary loss is deducted from ordinary business operations to obtain taxable income.

Also, we describe the following:

Taxable income can be described as the amount of income that is employed to calculated the amount of tax that is payable to the government by an individual or a company in a particular tax year. It is obtained after making all required additions and allowable deductions.

Capital gain can be described as an increase in the value of a capital asset which is realized when the asset is sold. For tax purposes, capital gain is added to the income from ordinary business operations to obtain taxable income.

Capital loss can be described as a decrease in the value of a capital asset which is recognised when the asset is sold. For tax purposes, capital loss is deducted from the income from ordinary business operations to obtain taxable income.

We therefore proceed as follows:

a. Lemon recognized a $5,500 capital gain and a $7,400 net Section 1231 loss.

From the question, we have the following:

Income from ordinary business operations = $324,600

Capital gain recognised = $5,500

Net Section 1231 loss recognised = $7,400

Based on the explanation provided above, Lemon’s taxable income under this scenario is therefore calculated as follows:

Lemon’s taxable income = Income from ordinary business operations + Capital gain recognised - Net Section 1231 loss recognised = $324,600 + $5,500 - $7,400 = $322,700

b. Lemon recognized a $6,500 capital loss and a $4,700 net Section 1231 gain.

From the question, there is nothing related past five years stated and it is therefore assumed that there is no net section 1231 loss in the past five years.

As result, the total of $4,700 net Section 1231 gain is regarded as a capital gain and it is set-off against the $6,500 capital loss as follows to obtain the non-deductible expense as follows:

Non-deductible expense = $6,500 - $4,700 = $1,800

Since there is nothing deductible again, Lemon’s taxable income under this scenario is therefore equal to the income from ordinary business operations of $324,600. That is,

Lemon’s taxable income = $324,600

c. Lemon recognized a $2,500 capital gain, a $3,900 capital loss, and a $3,000 net Section 1231 gain.

Since no net section 1231 loss in the past five years is indicated here, the $3,000 net Section 1231 gain will be treated as a long-term capital gain.

Based on the provisions of section 1231 of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules quoted above, non-deductible expense is calculated by deducting the $3,900 capital loss to the extent of the $2,500 capital gain as follows:

Non-deductible expense = $3,900 - $2,500 = $1,400

Since the $3,000 net Section 1231 gain has to be treated as a long-term capital gain, the $1,400 will be deducted from it obtain the net capital gain as follows:

Net capital gain = $3000 - $1400 = $1600

Lemon’s taxable income under this scenario is therefore calculated by adding the $1,600 net capital gain to the $324,600 income from ordinary business operations as follows:

Lemon’s taxable income = $324,600 + $1600 = $326,200

d. Lemon recognized $4,000 of depreciation recapture, a $2,000 Section 1231 gain, and a $4,200 Section 1231 loss.

We have the following:

Section 1231 loss = $4,200

Section 1231 gain = $2,000

Therefore, we have:

Net section 1231 loss = Section 1231 loss - Section 1231 gain = $4,200 - 2,000 = $2,200

This net section 1231 loss of $2,200 is therefore treated as ordinary loss as already stated in the provisions of section 1231 of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules quoted above and deducted from the $324,600 income from ordinary business operations.

In addition, the depreciation recapture of $4,000 will be treated as ordinary income and it will be added to the $324,600 income from ordinary business operations.

Lemon’s taxable income under this scenario is therefore calculated as follows:

Lemon’s taxable income = Income from ordinary business operations + Depreciation recapture - Net section 1231 loss = $324,600 + $4,000 - $2,200 = $326,400

Suppose that Brazil imports semiconductors from the United States. The free market price is $23.00 per semiconductor. If the tariff on imports in Brazil is initially 12%, Brazilians pay $_____per semiconductor. One of the accomplishments of the Uruguay Round that took place between 1986 and 1993 was significant across-the-board tariff cuts for industrial countries, as well as many developing countries. Suppose that as a result of the Uruguay Round, Brazil reduces its import tariffs to 6%.
Assuming the price of semiconductors is still $23.00 per semiconductor, consumers now pay the price of $_____per semiconductor. Based on the calculations and the scenarios presented, the Uruguay Round most likely_____in Brazil and______in the United States.

Answers

Answer:

Suppose that Brazil imports semiconductors from the United States. The free market price is $23.00 per semiconductor. If the tariff on imports in Brazil is initially 12%, Brazilians pay $25.76 per semiconductor.

= 23 * ( 1 + 12%) = $‭25.76‬

One of the accomplishments of the Uruguay Round that took place between 1986 and 1993 was significant across-the-board tariff cuts for industrial countries, as well as many developing countries.

Suppose that as a result of the Uruguay Round, Brazil reduces its import tariffs to 6%.

Assuming the price of semiconductors is still $23.00 per semiconductor, consumers now pay the price of $24.38 per semiconductor.

= 23 * ( 1 + 6%) = $‭24.38‬

Based on the calculations and the scenarios presented, the Uruguay Round most likely hurts Producers in Brazil and benefits producers in the United States.

The Uruguay Round reduced the tariff and made the semiconductor cheaper for Brazilians which means they will now import more. This will benefit producers in the US who will now be able to sell more but will hurt producers in Brazil who will sell less if their prices are higher than $24.38.

Under the current policy of using a network of sales agents, calculate the Bonita Beauty Corporation

Answers

Answer: $56,040,000

Explanation:

Here is the question:

1.Under the current policy of using a network of sales agents, calculate the Bonita Beauty Corporation's break-even point in sales dollars for the year.

Sales = $75,000,000

Less: variable cost = $75,000,000 + ($75,000,000 × 8%) = $31,500,000 + $6,000,000 = $37,500,000

Contribution margin = $37,500,000

Fixed cost = 10,260,000 + 10,260,000 + 7,500,000 = $28,020,000

Operating income = $11,130,000

Contribution margin = 0.5

Break even point in sales will now be:

= Fixed cost/contribution margin ratio

= $28,020,000/0.5

= $56,040,000

You are in the business of producing and selling snow shovels, and you need to determine how many shovels should be produced during each of the next four quarters to meet the following demands: 11,000 shovels in quarter 1; 48,000 shovels in quarter 2; 64,000 shovels in quarter 3; and 15,000 shovels in quarter 4.

Due to labor limitations, at most 65,000 shovels can be produced in any one quarter at a cost of $5/shovel. Additionally, a fixed cost of $30,000 must be paid for any quarter in which shovels are produced. You may assume that any shovels produced during a quarter can be used to satisfy demand for that quarter. At the end of the quarter, a holding cost of $0.50 per shovel in inventory is incurred. Currently, you have no shovels in inventory.

Required:
Formulate an integer-linear program to determine a production schedule that minimizes the sum of production and inventory costs over the next four quarters.

Answers

Answer:

Quarter Production

Q1 11000

Q2 62000

Q3 65000

Q4 0

This will generate lower production and inventory cost as it savesthe fixed cost of 30,000 if we produce in the fourth quarter.

Explanation:

First, we construct the formula for the relevant cost:

Holding Cost: $0.50 per shovel

$0.50 x 2 x (Q2-48,000) + $0.50 x (Q1-11,000) = Holding Cost Q2

$0.50 x 1 x (Q3-64,000) = Holding Cost Q3

First, the restrictions:

P1 P2 P3 P4 are Integer

P1  < 65,000

P2 < 65,000

P3 < 65,000

P4 < 65,000

Then, we have the inventory formulas:

I1  = P1 - S1

I2 = P2 + I1  -S2

I3 = P3 + I2 - S3

I4 = P4 + I3 - S4

The holding cost

H1  = I1  x 0.50

H2 = I2 x 0.50

H3 = I3 x 0.50

H4 = I4 x 0.50

The fixed cost

if P1> 0 then FC1 = 30,000

if P2> 0 then FC2 = 30,000

if P3> 0 then FC3 = 30,000

if P4> 0 then FC4 = 30,000

And last,the total cost:

FC1 + H1 +FC2 + H2 +FC3 + H3 +FC4 + H4 = Total Cost

This is the formula we want to minimize

A. expenditures approach and the income approach.

Explanation:

GDP known as gross domestic product, is the dollar value of all final output produced within the borders of the nation during a specific period of time.

Marc and Michelle are married and earned salaries this year of $64,000 and $12,000, respectively. In addition to their salaries, they received interest of $350 from municipal bonds and $500 from corporate bonds. Marc contributed $2,500 to an individual retirement account, and Marc paid alimony to a prior spouse in the amount of $1,500 (under a divorce decree effective June 1, 2005). Marc and Michelle have a 10-year-old son, Matthew, who lived with them throughout the entire year. Thus, Marc and Michelle are allowed to claim a $1,000 child tax credit for Matthew. Marc and Michelle paid $6,000 of expenditures that qualify as itemized deductions and they had a total of $5,500 in federal income taxes withheld from their paychecks during the course of the year. (use the 2016 tax rate schedules).
1. What is the total amount of Marc and Michelle’s deductions from AGI?
2. What is Marc and Michelle’s taxable income?
3. What is Marc and Michelle’s taxable income?

Answers

Answer:

KINDLY CHECK EXPLANATION

Explanation:

Given that :

Marc's salary = 64000

Michelle's salary = 12000

Interest received from municipal bond = $350

Interest received from corporate bond = $500

TOTAL AMOUNT OF DEDUCTION FROM AGI:

ACCORDING TO 2016 TAX RATE : MARRIED FILING JOINTLY STANDARD DEDUCTION = $12,600 (higher than itemized deduction ($6000)

Dependency exemption = $4050 (2016 tax schedule)

Hence, total deduction from AGI = $(12600 + (3 * 4050)) = $24,750

Their Gross Income :

(Salary + interest from municipal and corporate bonds)

$(64000 + 12000 + 500) = $76,500

TAXABLE INCOME = Gross income - total debt deduction on AGI - (contribution to individual retirement + alimony paid to spouse)

TAXABLE INCOME = $(76,500 - 24750 - (2500 +1500))

$(76500 - 24750 - 4000) = $47750
