Borges Machine Shop, Inc., has a 1-year contract for the production of gear housings for a new off-road vehicle. Owner Luis Borges hopes the contract will be extended and the volume increased next year. Borges has developed costs for three alternatives. They are general-purpose equipment (GPE), flexible manufacturing system (FMS), and expensive, but efficient, dedicated machine (DM). The cost data follow: General-Purpose Equipment (GPE) Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) Dedicated Machine (DM) Annual contracted units Annual fixed cost Per unit variable cost Based on the cost, the process that is best suited for the current contracted volume is __________.
Answer:
All the numbers are missing, so I looked for a similar question.
The contract includes the production of 225,000 gear housings during 1 year.
We are also given the estimated costs of each alternative. We must choose the alternative that minimizes our total costs.
total costs for general purpose equipment (GPE) = $125,000 + (225,000 x $15) = $3,500,000total costs for flexible manufacturing system (FMS) = $200,000 + (225,000 x $14.50) = $3,462,500total costs for dedicated machine (DM) = $525,000 + (225,000 x $13.50) = $3,562,500For the current volume, the best option is flexible manufacturing system with a total cost of $3,462,500.
As total volume increases, the DM option becomes more attractive, but in order for it to cost less than FMS, total output should be higher than 325,000 units per year.
525,000 + 13.5x = 200,000 + 14.5x
x = 325,000 units
GPE is only attractive when the total units are lower (below 150,000 units per year):
125,000 + 15x = 200,000 + 14.5x
0.5x = 75,000
x = 150,000
Both friends agree that the demand and supply for hybrid cars will increase. For each of the following situations, determine whether the demand curve or the supply curve increases by dragging the item to the appropriate category.
a. The government gives consumers a subsidy to buy hybrid cars.
b. More automobile producers start producing hybrids.
c. The price of non-hybrid cars falls.
d. The price of batteries for hybrid cars rises.
e. Gasoline prices rise.
Answer:
1. The subsidy will work as a motivating factor for the consumers as the product will be purchased at a lower cost. Thus. it will increase the demand curve.
2. This will increase the supply curve due to increase in the suppliers throughout the market.
3. It will increase the demand curve as the consumers will face lower pressure on their pocket while purchasing cars.
4. This will decrease demand as the price of cars rises due to increase in the cost of production.
5. Increase in price of gasoline will decrease demand for cars as the consumers have to face high pressure on their pockets for using he cars.
The explanation to each part should be explained below:
The following information should be considered:
A) A government subsidy is equal to a reduction in price for consumers. A decline in prices increases demand. The demand curve increase.
b)More producers result in more output, which is an increase in supply. The supply curve increases.
c). Non-hybrid cars should be the substitutes goods for hybrid vehicles. In the case the price of non-hybrid cars falls, their demand will increases. Consequently, the demand for hybrid cars reduces. Both The demand curve and supply curve will not increase.
d). An increase in production cost results in a price rise. Consequently, it reduces the demand for hybrid cars. Both the demand and curve curves will not increase.
e). An increase in gasoline price will make non-hybrid cars less desirable however will increase the demand for hybrid cars. The demand curve for hybrid cars increases.

b. What is the sum of the market value of NWC and the market value of fixed assets? (Do not round Intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to the nearest whole number, e.g., 1,234,567.)
a. Book value of total assets
b. Sum of market value of NWC and fixed assets
Answer:
a. $5,194,000
b. $7,715,000
Explanation:
a. Book Value of assets = Book value of fixed assets + book value of current assets
Book Value of assets = Book value of fixed assets + (Current Liabilities + Net working capital)
Book Value of assets = $4,200,000 + ($850,000 + $144,000)
Book Value of assets = $5,194,000
b. Sum of market value = $7,600,000 + ($965,000 - $850,000)
Sum of market value = $$7,600,000 + $115,000
Sum of market value = $7,715,000

The EZ Lawn Corporation manufactures lawn equipment such as lawn mowers, blowers, and trimmers. The lawn equipment is assembled in the U.S. at a facility in Florida, but the firm outsources inputs from a number of countries, each with varying degrees of economic stability. Given the importance of the firm's sourcing activities, EZ Lawn managers are discussing methods which might reduce the currency risk faced by EZ Lawn. Which of the following would most likely minimize the currency risk of EZ Lawn?
a. Concentrate all of the EZ Lawn outsourcing to one or two neighboring nations.
b. Re-locate a team of EZ Lawn managers overseas to stay abreast of currency changes.
c. List EZ Lawn stock on foreign stock exchanges to offset any currency losses.
d. Assign an EZ Lawn manager the task of monitoring currency fluctuations.
Answer:
c. List EZ Lawn stock on foreign stock exchanges to offset any currency losses.
Many foreign companies do this and list their stocks as ADRs in the US, so this is a method that actually works. The problem is that will listing American stocks in foreign markets help? Probably you could list some stocks in European, Japanese or even Canadian markets. But most foreign exchange markets pose a higher risk than a currency exchange risk.
Explanation:
Currency risk refers to the possibility that a company that engages in international trade losses money due to variations in the exchange rate between their domestic currency and a foreign currency. The best way to protect a company are currency hedged funds that trade currency exchange futures, but this option isn't included in the list.
a. Concentrate all of the EZ Lawn outsourcing to one or two neighboring nations. ⇒ This will increase the risk since it is similar to investing all your money in one single stock, it can be great or it can be a disaster.
b. Re-locate a team of EZ Lawn managers overseas to stay abreast of currency changes. ⇒ You can do this from anywhere in the world, you do not need to relocate someone.
d. Assign an EZ Lawn manager the task of monitoring currency fluctuations. ⇒ Similar to option B, it just takes a few seconds to do it and anyone can do it. It is something so basic that every company should do it. It is like telling someone that they shouldn't forget to keep breathing. It can help you deal with currency fluctuations, but it doesn't protect you from them.

Transaction Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity
1 Assets (Cash +$181,000) = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity (Common Stock +$181,000)
2 Assets (Cash +$54,000) = Liabilities (Bonds Payable +$54,000) + Equity
3 Assets (Delivery Trucks +$60,000, Cash - $60,000) = Liabilities + Equity
4 Assets (Cash + $17,000, Accounts Receivable -$17,000) = Liabilities + Equity
5 Assets (Supplies + $5,800) = Liabilities (Accounts Payable +$5,800) + Equity
6 Assets (Cash - $4,800) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings -$4,800)
7 Assets (Accounts Receivable + $11,000) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings + $11,000)
8 Assets (Cash - $29,300) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings + $29,300)
9 Assets (Cash - $10,700) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings + $10,700)
Explanation:
In accordance with the accounting equation, Assets are always equal to Liabilities + Equity with each given business transaction. The accounting equation reflects the double-entry system of accounting. It shows that two or more accounts are involved in any transaction and each transaction that is properly recorded keeps the equation in balance at all times.

(Use 365 days a year. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)Inventory turnover ratio timesReceivables turnover ratio timesAverage collection period days Asset turnover ratio times
Answer:
Inventory turnover ratio = cost of goods sold / average inventory = $5,500,000 / [($1,250,000 + $1,050,000)/2] = 4.78 times
Receivables turnover ratio = net sales / average accounts receivable = $12,000,000 / [($840,000 + $570,000)/2] = 17.02 times
Average collection period days = 365 / receivables turnover ratio = 365 / 17.02 = 21.45 days
Asset turnover ratio = net sales / average total assets = $12,000,000 / [($5,630,000 + $4,960,000)/2] = 2.27 times

a. The manufacturer guarantees a new television against defects for 90 days.
b. The manufacturer guarantees a new set of radial tires against road defects for 50,000 miles.
c. A builder of new homes gives a 10-year guarantee against structural defects in the home.
d. A cosigner of a note agrees to pay the loan balance if the original debtor defaults on the payments.
e. A large group of homeowners agrees to pay for losses to homes that are damaged or destroyed by fire during the year.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Insurance is an arrangement whereby an economic entity like the individual or firm undertakes and agree to provide compensation for losses, damages or death to the insured.
a. The manufacturer guarantees a new television against defects for 90 days.
This is simply a guarantee and it's not an insurance. There are no pooling of losses even though risks are being transferred to the manufacturer.
b. The manufacturer guarantees a new set of radial tires against road defects for 50,000 miles.
This is also a guarantee and it's not an insurance. There are no pooling of losses even though risks are being transferred to the manufacturer. In a scenario whereby the tires are stolen, they won't be replaced.
c) A builder of new homes gives a 10-year guarantee against structural defects in the home.
This is just a guarantee and not an insurance. Even though risk are being transferred to the builder once there are structural defects, the owner of the home will bear the loss in case of fire.
d. A cosigner of a note agrees to pay the loan balance if the original debtor defaults on the payments.
This is not an insurance. This is just explaining that the consigner bears the risk of payment if the original debtor defaults.
e. large group of homeowners agrees to pay for losses to homes that are damaged or destroyed by fire during the year.
This is an insurance as losses are being pooled. The firm of insurance that'll be utilized here is the fire insurance.
Statements a,b,c, and d are guarantees and statement e represents insurance.
What are a guarantee and insurance?Insurance refers to the protection from the financial loss that the insurance holder otherwise would suffer. Insurance is a type of indemnity where one party promises to indemnify the insurer in case of loss.
Whereas gurantee can be defined as contract in which one party agrees to act on behalf of the other party in case of defaults by other party.
Therefore the statement a, b , c, and d are guarantee and the statement e represents insurance.

Kirk, Spock and Bones were partners in a company that sold TV memorabilia, aptly named Memorabilia Partnership. The memorabilia business was not as popular as it had once been, so Kirk decided to withdraw from the partnership and duly notified the other members. Memorabilia Partnership was an at-will partnership and the members agreed to dissolve the partnership and parted amicably. They posted a notice in the local newspaper of the dissolution of Memorabilia Partnership. Ed decided that he would like to host a Star Trek convention. Part of Ed’s idea was to put a piece of TV memorabilia in the hands of the first 500 people at the convention. Ed had, in the past, conducted business with Memorabilia Partnership several times to buy memorabilia for special events. Ed did not see the newspaper notice and was not informed of the dissolution of Memorabilia Partnership. Ed approached Kirk to make a deal. Ed placed an order, gave a substantial down payment to Kirk, and received a receipt on Memorabilia Partnership stationery from him. Kirk left the country with the down payment. Spock and Bones, the other former members of Memorabilia Partnership, failed to honor the contract. Ed sued the other former members of Memorabilia Partnership. Discuss Spock and Bone’s potential liability.
Answer:
In this case, Spock and Bone's potential liability is nothing and they cannot be held responsible for non honoring of contract of Memorabilia Partnership with Ed. This is because, Memorabilia Partnership was dissolved and Spock and Bone's cannot be held responsible for Kirk's actions. Since Kirk fled the country with down payment money, hence he is liable for suitable punishment and fine but since Spock and Bones were not involved in this crime, hence they cannot be held liable for anything.
Bintu has a comparative advantage in the production of:______.
a. bowls and Juba has a comparative advantage in the production of cups.
b. cups and Juba has a comparative advantage in the production of bowls.
c. both goods and Juba has a comparative advantage in the production of neither good.
d. neither good and Juba has a comparative advantage in the production of both goods.
Answer:
b. cups and Juba has a comparative advantage in the production of bowls.
Explanation:
A company or country could said to have a comparative advantage if t produces a good or service with the lowest possible opportunity costs.
Bintu's opportunity cost of 1 unit of Bowls.
Bintu can produce 2 Bowls or 8 cups.
Therefore; 2 Bowls = 8 cups
We need to make it 1 Bowl, so we divide both sides by 2.
2 Bowls / 2 = 1 Bowl
8 cups / 2 = 4 cups
Hence, 1 bowl = 4 cups
Juba's opportunity cost of 1 unit of Bowls.
Juba can produce 4 Bowls or 6 cups.
Therefore; 4 Bowls = 6 cups
We need to make it 1 Bowl, so we divide both sides by 4.
4 Bowls / 4 = 1 Bowl
6 cups / 4 = 1.5 cups
Hence, 1 bowl = 1.5 cups
We now need to calculate the opportunity cost of 1 unit of cups from Bintu and Juba. This is just the same process as before, but with 1 unit of cup instead.
Bintus's opportunity cost of 1 unit of cups
Bintu can produce 8cups or 2 bowl.
Therefore, 8 cups = 2 bowls.
We need to make it 1 cup, so we divide both sides by 8.
8 cups / 8 = 1 cup
2 bowls /8 = 0.25 bowls.
Hence, 1 cup - 0.25 bowls
Juba's opportunity cost of 1 unit of cups.
Juba can produce 6 cups or 4 bowls.
Therefore, 6 cups = 4 bowls.
We need to make it 1 cup, so we divide both sides by 6.
6 cups /6 = 1 cup
4 bowls / 6 =0.67 bowl
Hence, 1 cup = 0.67 bowl
Now comparative advantage is when either of these two can produce a good with the lowest possible opportunity cost.
From the calculation above, the opportunity cost for bowl is 4 in Bintu and 1.5 in Juba. So since Juba has the lowest opportunity cost for bowls, it, therefore, Juba has a comparative advantage in the production of bowls. In the same way, since cost for Cups in Bintu is 0.25 and that of Juba is 0.67, then Bintu has a comparative advantage in the production of cups
You need to save a total of $7,500 in order to buy a new motorcycle. You are starting with savings of $4,000 but will make no additional contributions. How long do you need to wait in order to reach your goal? In excel, compute the number of years required for annual interest rates of 2% to 10%, in two percent increments. What accurately depicts this calculation?
Answer:
You do not need an excel spreadsheet to calculate this, you need to use the the future value formula:
future value = present value x (1 + r)ⁿ
present value = $4,000
future value = $7,500
so, (1 + r)ⁿ = $7,500 / $4,000 = 1.875
now we replace r:
for 2%)
1.02ⁿ = 1.875
n = log 1.875 / log 1.02 = 31.74 years
for 4%)
1.04ⁿ = 1.875
n = log 1.875 / log 1.04 = 16.03 years
for 6%)
1.06ⁿ = 1.875
n = log 1.875 / log 1.06 = 10.79 years
for 8%)
1.08ⁿ = 1.875
n = log 1.875 / log 1.08 = 8.17 years
for 10%)
1.1ⁿ = 1.875
n = log 1.875 / log 1.1 = 6.6 years
The higher the interest rate, the shorter it will take for you account to increase in value and the shorter you will have to wait in order to buy your motorcycle.

The most recent financial statements for Summer Tyme, Inc., are shown here:______.
Income Statement Balance Sheet
Sales $3,700 Current assets $4,200 Current liabilities $970
Costs 1,800 Fixed assets 5,700 Long-term debt 3,500
Taxable
income $1,900 Equity 5,430
Taxes (34%) 646 Total $9,900 Total $9,900
Net income $1,254
Assets, costs, and current liabilities are proportional to sales. Long-term debt and equity are not. The company maintains a constant 50 percent dividend payout ratio. As with every other firm in its industry, next year's sales are projected to increase by exactly 25 percent.
Required:
What is the external financing needed? (Do not round your intermediate calculations.)
EFN = needed new long-term debt and/or external equity
Answer: $1,448.75
Explanation:
Sales are to increase by 25% along with Assets, costs and current liabilities.
Sales (3,700 * 1.25) $4,625
Less: Costs ( 1,800 * 1.25) $2,250
Taxable Income $2,375
Tax (2,375 * 34%) $807.50
Net Income $1,567.50
Addition to retained earnings = Net Income - Dividends
= 1,567.50 - ( 1,567.50 * 50%)
= $783.75
Equity = 5,430 + 783.75 = $6,213.75
Assets = 9,900 * 1.25 = $12,375
Total Liability = Long term debt + Current liability
= 3,500 + (970 * 1.25)
= $4,712.50
Assets = Liability + Equity
12,375 ≠ 4,712.50 + 6,213.75
External financing needed = 12,375 - 4,712.50 - 6,213.75
= $1,448.75

During the next two months an automobile manufacturer must meet (on time) the following demands for trucks and cars: month 1, 400 trucks and 800 cars; month 2, 300 trucks and 300 cars. During each month at most 1000 vehicles can be produced. Each truck uses two tons of steel, and each car uses one ton of steel. During month 1, steel costs $700 per ton; during month 2, steel is projected to cost $800 per ton. At most 2500 tons of steel can be purchased each month. (Steel can be used only during the month in which it is purchased.) At the beginning of month 1, 100 trucks and 200 cars are in the inventory. At the end of each month, a holding cost of $200 per vehicle is assessed. Each car gets 35 miles per gallon (mpg), and each truck gets 15 mpg. During each month, the vehicles produced by the company must average at least 23 mpg.
Required:
a. Determine how to meet the demand and mileage requirements at minimum total cost.
b. Explain intuitively what happens when the requirement is greater than 17 mpg.
Answer:
a. solver found a solution 600C₁ + 400T₁ + 300C₂ + 200 T₂
the company should produce 600 cars and 400 trucks during month 1, and it should produce 300 cars and 200 trucks during month 2
b. here it doesn't really make a lot of difference since a car's mpg is 35 and a truck's is 15. The average between them is 25. You would need to produce more than 9 trucks per car (at least 10) in order for the average to be lower than 17 mpg.
Explanation:
minimization equation = 700S₁ + 800S₂ + 200HC₁ + 200HT₁ + 200HC₂ + 200HC₂
where:
C₁ = cars produced during month 1
T₁ = trucks produced during month 1
C₂ = cars produced during month 1
T₂ = trucks produced during month 2
S₁ = steel used during month 1
S₂ = steel used during month 2
HC₁ = holding cost for a car on month 1
HT₁ = holding cost for a truck on month 1
HC₂ = holding cost for a car on month 2
HT₂ = holding cost for a truck on month 1
constraints:
C₁ + T₁ ≤ 1000
C₂ + T₂ ≤ 1000
-S₁ + C₁ + 2T₁ = 0
-S₂ + C₂ + 2T₂ = 0
-HC₁ + C₁ ≥ 600

Allmond Corporation, organized on January 3, 2021, had pretax accounting income of $23 million and taxable income of $29 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The 2021 tax rate is 25%. The only difference between accounting income and taxable income is estimated product warranty costs. Assume that expected payments and scheduled tax rates (based on recently enacted tax legislation) are as follows:
2022 $4 million 30%
2023 1 million 30%
2024 1 million 30 %
2025 2 million 25%
Required:
a. Determine the amounts necessary to record Allmond’s income taxes for 2021 and prepare the appropriate journal entry.
b. What is Allmond’s 2021 net income?
Answer:
$15.75 million
Explanation:
The Income tax necessary to record in almond's income taxes for 2021 can be calculated by reversing all the warranty cost in 2022 and onwards. The warranty cost will be recorded as a deferred tax asset.
Requirement A
Warranty costs reversing in:
Date Amount Tax rate Tax
2022 $4m x 30% = $1.2 Deferred tax Assets
2023 $1m x 30% = $0.3 Deferred tax Assets
2024 $1m x 30% = $0.3 Deferred tax Assets
2025 $2m x 25% = $0.5 Deferred tax Assets
Total deferred tax amount $2.3 Deferred tax Assets
Income tax Payable = Taxabe income x tax rate
Income tax Payable = $29m x 25%
Income tax Payable = $7.25m
Accounting Entry:
DEBIT CREDIT
Income tax expense $7.25
Deferred tax asset $2.3
Income taxes payable $9.55
Requirement B
Net income for 2021 = Pretax income - Income tax expense
Net income for 2021 = $23M - $7.25
Net income for 2021 = $15.75 million

A. satisfaction when consumers are , while cardinal utility is satisfaction when consumers are .
B. a ranking of market baskets based on , while cardinal utility is a ranking of market baskets based on .
C. a ranking where the intensity of preferences is quantified, while cardinal utility is a number that by itself has no meaning.
D. an interpersonal comparison of satisfaction, while cardinal utility is a ranking of market baskets using arbitrary numerical values.
E. a ranking of market baskets in order of most to least preferred, while cardinal utility indicates how much one market basket is preferred to another.
Answer:
E. a ranking of market baskets in order of most to least preferred, while cardinal utility indicates how much one market basket is preferred to another.
Explanation:
Ordinal utility can be defined as an economic concept in which the consumer chooses a product or service from the market based on preferences in relation to another at a comparative level, but not exactly quantified.
In cardinal utility, on the other hand, the consumer is able to quantify the benefits perceived in a product or service with specific values, and this measure is beneficial to specify, for example, a choice based on price and utility for the consumer, which helps in the purchase decision process .
