Answer: increasing
Explanation:
Adaptive expectations hypothesis is a theory which states that economic agents such as the individuals, firms and the government will look at past events and experiences to make adjustments on future expectations.
According to the theory, one is likely to underestimate inflation when the price level is increasing at an increasing rate and to overestimate inflation when price level is increasing at an increasing rate.
Tri-coat Paints has a current market value of $50 per share with earnings of $5.97. What is the present value of its growth opportunities (PVGO) if the required return is 12%?
Answer: $0.25
Explanation:
Fron the question, we are informed that Tri-coat Paints has a current market value of $50 per share with earnings of $5.97. We are further told that the required return is 12%.
The present value of its growth opportunities (PVGO) will be:
= $50 - ($5.97/12%)
= $50 - ($5.97/0.12)
= $50 - $49.75
= $0.25
Therefore, the present value of its growth opportunities (PVGO) if the required return is 12% is $0.25.
Ecker Company reports $1,925,000 of net income for 2017 and declares $269,500 of cash dividends on its preferred stock for 2017. At the end of 2017, the company had 300,000 weighted-average shares of common stock.
1. What amount of net income is available to common stockholders for 2017?
2. What is the company's basic EPS for 2017?
Answer:
(A) $1,655,500
(B) $5.52 per share
Explanation:
Ecker company announced a net income of $1,925,000
They also declare a cash dividend of $269,500
The company has 300,000 weighted average shares of common stock
(A) The amount of net income available to common stockhloders for 2017 can be calculated as follows
Net income available to common stockhloders= Net income- Preferred Cash dividend
= $1,925,000-$269,500
= $1,655,500
(B) The common basic EPS for 2017 can be calculated as follows
Common basic EPS= Net income available to stockholders/weighted average outstanding shares
= $1,655,500/300,000
= $5.52 per share
Badger Company had $1,060,000 of sales in each of three consecutive years 2012–2014, and it purchased merchandise costing $580,000 in each of those years. It also maintained a $360,000 physical inventory from the beginning to the end of that three-year period. In accounting for inventory, it made an error at the end of year 2012 that caused its year-end 2012 inventory to appear on its statements as $340,000 rather than the correct $360,000.
Prepare comparative income statements to show the effect of this error on the company's cost of goods sold and gross profit for each of the years 2012−2014.
Answer:
COGS more in 2012 less in 2013
Gross Profit Less in 2012 more in 2013

The company's gross profit would be understated in 2012 by $ 20,000 and overstated in 2013 by $ 20,000. This $ 20,000 amount is equal to the the difference in the amount of the wrong inventory entry and the correct ending inventory. However the company will have regular profit in the third year. The wrong entry would have no effect in the third year.
The Cost of Goods Sold would be overstated both in 2012 by $ 20,000 and understated in 2013 by $ 20,000. The Cost of Goods Sold will show no effect of wrong entry in the third year.
Indus Corporation pays $100,000 for the trademark rights to a line of soda equipment. After several years, sales for this line of soda equipment are disappointing, and the company estimates the total future cash flows from sales will be only $110,000. The estimated fair value of the trademark is now $60,000. What is the amount of the impairment loss to be recorded
Answer:
impairment loss = $40,000
Explanation:
In accounting, impairment loss refers to the decrease of an asset's carrying value. In order to calculate the impairment loss, you need to subtract the current market value of the asset from its original carrying value.
impairment loss = carrying value - current market value = $100,000 - $60,000 = $40,000
Troy Engines, Ltd., manufactures a variety of engines for use in heavy equipment. The company has always produced all of the necessary parts for its engines, including all of the carburetors. An outside supplier has offered to sell one type of carburetor to Troy Engines, Ltd., for a cost of $35 per unit. To evaluate this offer, Troy Engines, Ltd., has gathered the following information relating to its own cost of producing the carburetor internally: Per Unit 15,000 Units Per Year Direct materials $ 14 $ 210,000 Direct labor 10 150,000 Variable manufacturing overhead 3 45,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead, traceable 6 * 90,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead, allocated 9 135,000 Total cost $ 42 $ 630,000 *One-third supervisory salaries; two-thirds depreciation of special equipment (no resale value).
Required:
1. Assuming the company has no alternative use for the facilities that are now being used to produce the carburetors, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 15,000 carburetors from the outside supplier?
2. Should the outside supplier’s offer be accepted?
3. Suppose that if the carburetors were purchased, Troy Engines, Ltd., could use the freed capacity to launch a new product. The segment margin of the new product would be $150,000 per year. Given this new assumption, what would be financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 15,000 carburetors from the outside supplier?
4. Given the new assumption in requirement 3, should the outside supplier’s offer be accepted?
Answer:
1. Assuming the company has no alternative use for the facilities that are now being used to produce the carburetors, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 15,000 carburetors from the outside supplier?
financial disadvantage = $525,000 - $435,000 = $90,0002. Should the outside supplier’s offer be accepted?
No, it shouldn't be accepted3. Suppose that if the carburetors were purchased, Troy Engines, Ltd., could use the freed capacity to launch a new product. The segment margin of the new product would be $150,000 per year. Given this new assumption, what would be financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 15,000 carburetors from the outside supplier?
financial advantage = -$90,000 + $150,000 = $60,0004. Given the new assumption in requirement 3, should the outside supplier’s offer be accepted?
Yes, it should be acceptedExplanation:
outside vendor offer: cost per unit $35 x 15,000 = $525,000
production costs:
direct materials $14 x 15,000 = $210,000
Direct labor $10 x 15,000 = $150,000
Variable manufacturing overhead $3 x 15,000 = $45,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead, traceable $6 x 15,000 = $90,000 ($60,000 are non-avoidable)
Fixed manufacturing overhead, allocated $9 x 15,000 = $135,000 (all are non-avoidable)
Total cost $42 x 15,000 = $630,000
avoidable production costs = $435,000
The requirements are detailed as follows:
1. Make Buy Difference
Direct materials $ 210,000
Direct labor 150,000
Variable manufacturing overhead 45,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead, traceable 60,000
Total cost $465,000 $525,000 $60,000
Thus, the financial disadvantage of buying 15,000 carburetors from the outside supplier is $60,000.
2. The outside supplier's offer should not be accepted as it costs more.
3. Based on the new assumption of obtaining segment margin of $150,000 from alternative use of capacity, the financial advantage of buying 15,000 carburetors from the outside supplier is $90,000.
4. Based on the new assumption, the outside supplier's offer should be accepted.
Data and Calculations:
Outside supplier's price per unit = $35
Per Unit 15,000 Units Per Year
Direct materials $ 14 $ 210,000
Direct labor 10 150,000
Variable manufacturing overhead 3 45,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead, traceable 6 90,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead, allocated 9 135,000
Total cost $ 42 $ 630,000
Supervisory salaries = $30,000 ($90,000 x 1/3)
Depreciation of special equipment = $60,000 ($90,000 x 2/3)
Outside supplier's cost = $525,000 ($35 x 15,000)

Starbucks (Croatia). Starbucks opened its first store in Zagreb, Croatia, in October 2010. In Zagreb, the price of a tall vanilla latte is 25.70 Croatian kunas (kn or HRK). In New York City, the price of a tall vanilla latte is $2.65. The exchange rate between Croatian kunas and U.S. dollars is kn5.6288.
(a) According to purchasing power parity, is the Croatian kuna overvalued or undervalued?
(b) By what percent is the kuna overvalued or undervalued?
Answer:
a. Overvalued
b. 72.3% overvalued
Explanation:
a. Purchasing power parity when held, shows that prices of a specific good is the same across the world.
Price in New York = $2.65
Price in Zagreb = kn25.70
$1 = 25.70/2.65
$1 = kn9.6981
According to PPP, Croatian Kuna is Overvalued as the exchange rate per the Vanilla Latte is higher than the official exchange rate.
b. = [tex]\frac{9.6981 - 5.6288}{5.6288.}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{4.0693}{5.6288}[/tex]
= 72.3% overvalued

A company needs to locate three departments X, Y, and Z in the three areas I, II, and III of a new facility. They want to minimize interdepartmental transportation costs, which are expected to be $.50 per load meter moved. An analyst has prepared the following flow and distance matrices:
Distances meters Flows Loads per week
From / To I II III From / To X Y Z
I - 10 20 X - 0 80
II - - 10 Y 30 - 150
III - Z 100 130 -
If the company were to locate departments X, Y, and Z in areas 1, 2, and 3, respectively, what would be the total distance (in meters) loads would be moved each week?
A. 3,100
B. 3,600
C. 6,200
D. 7,200
E. 8,200
Answer: A. 3,100
the total distance (in meters) loads that would be moved each week is 3,100
Explanation:
First we arrange the workflow of the departments in descending order while the distance will be in ascending order.
TRIPS DISTANCE(metres)

11 - 111 10
1 - 111 20
DEPARTMENTAL PAIR WORKFLOW
Y-Z 150
Z-Y 130
Z-X 100
X-Z 80
Y-X 30
Given that question provided to allocate departments X, Y, and Z in areas 1, 2, and 3 respectively.
So, having that in mind, allocate the distance for each suitable departmental pair;
DEPARTMENTAL PAIR WORKFLOW DISTANCE TOTAL DISTANCE
(meter loads)
Y-Z 150 10 1500
Z-Y 130 -
Z-X 100 10 1000
X-Z 80 -

The Green Balloon just paid its first annual dividend of $0.49 a share. The firm plans to increase the dividend by 3.7 percent per year indefinitely. What is the firm's cost of equity if the current stock price is $17.2 a share
Answer:
3.80%
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of equity is shown below:
Cost of equity is
= Annual dividend paid × (1 + growth rate) ÷ Stock price + Growth rate
where,
Annual dividend paid is $0.49
Growth rate is 3.7%
And, the stock price is $17.2
Now placing these values to the above formula
So, the cost of equity is
= $0.49 × (1 + 0.037) ÷ $17.20 + 0.037
= 0.00105 + 0.037
= 3.80%
Lane Inc. just reported net income of $2,800,000, and its current stock price is $33 per share. Lane is forecasting $4,000,000 in net income next year, but it also expects it will have to issue 500,000 new shares of stock (raising its shares outstanding from 1,500,000 to 2,000,000). If Lane's forecast turns out to be right, and its price/earnings (P/E) ratio does not change, what does Lane expect its stock price to be one year from now?
Answer:
Price per share Year 1= $35.36
Explanation:
The P/E ratio or the price earnings ratio is an indicator that calculates the dollar amount that an investor is willing to invest in a company for each 1 dollar of that company's earnings. It is calculated as follows,
P/E = Price per share / Earnings per share
The first thing we do is to determine the earnings per share today.
Earnings per share = Net Income / No. of shares outstanding
Earnings per share = 2800000 / 1500000
Earnings per share = $1.867
We need to determine the P/E ratio today which is expected to remain the same for next year also.
P/E ratio = 33 / 1.867
P/E Ratio = 17.675 rounded off to 17.68
The earnings next year will be,
Earnings per share year 1 = 4000000 / 2000000
Earnings per share Year 1 = $2
Taking the constant P/E and year 1's earnings per share, we calculate the price in year 1 to be,
17.68 = Price per share / 2
17.68 * 2 = Price per share
Price per share Year 1= $35.36

Cheetah Copy purchased a new copy machine. The new machine cost $140,000 including installation. The company estimates the equipment will have a residual value of $35,000. Cheetah Copy also estimates it will use the machine for four years or about 8,000 total hours. Actual use per year was as follows: Year Hours Used 1 3,000 2 2,000 3 2,000 4 2,000 Required: 1. Prepare a depreciation schedule for four years using the straight-line method. (Do not round your intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
Depreciation expense in year 1 = $26,250
Depreciation expense in year 2 = $26,250
Depreciation expense in year 3 = $26,250
Depreciation expense in year 4 = $26,250
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
($140,000 - $35,000) / 4 = $26,250
Suppose that Second Republic Bank currently has $150,000 in demand deposits and $97,500 in outstanding loans. The Federal Reserve has set the reserve requirement at 10%.
Reserves=__________
Required Reserves=___________
Excess Reserves=__________
Answer:
Reserves= $52,500
Required reserves= $15,000
Excess reserves= $37,500
Explanation:
The Second republic bank has $150,000 in demand deposits
They also have $97,500 in outstanding loans
The reserves can be calculated as follows
Reserves= deposits-loans
= $150,000-$97,500
= $52,500
The required reserves can be calculated as follows
Required reserves= deposits × reserve ratio
= $150,000×10/100
= $150,000×0.1
= $15,000
The excess reserves can be calculated as follows
Excess reserves= reserves-required reserves
= $52,500-$15,000
= $37,500
Hence the reserves, required reserves and excess reserves are $52,500, $15,000 and $37,500 respectively
Mary, a merchant, was in the business of selling flowers to local florists. Melissa was the owner of Little Flower, Inc. and she regularly purchased her flowers from Mary. One day, Melissa called Mary and ordered 20 dozen roses, 15 dozen carnations, 10 dozen daisies, baby breaths, 6 dozen tulips, and some plants. Everything totaled $1,200, and was to be delivered in 14 days. After the two ended their call, Mary sent Melissa an e-mail detailing the order and her acceptance. Melissa never responded to the e-mail. Eleven days later, Mary delivered the merchandise to Melissa, but she refused shipment. Mary sued Melissa for breach of contract. What is the likely result?
Answer:
Generally UCC rules establish that contracts involving the sale of goods worth more than $500 must be in writing and signed. But this rule doesn't apply to merchants that are involved in routine buy/sell activities. In this case, both Mary and Melissa are considered merchants and the phone call and the email are enough proof against Melissa for breach of contract. In my opinion, Mary would win the lawsuit.
A bakery works out a demand function for its chocolate chip cookies and finds it to be q = D(x)= 760-13x, where q is the quantity of cookies sold when the price per cookie, in cents, is x.
Required:
a. Find the elasticity.
b. At what price is the elasticity of demand equal to 1?
c. At what prices is the elasticity of demand elastic?
d. At what prices is the elasticity of demand inelastic?
Answer:
Please refer to the below for explanation.
Explanation:
From the above, the demand function is given as ;
D(x)=760-13x
a) Find the elasticity
It means finding the derivative of the function
D'(X)=-13, hence elasticity is expressed as
xD'(x) / D'(x)
= x(-13) / 760 - 13x
= 13x / 760 - 13x
The elasticity expression is thus ; E(x)= 13x / 760 - 13x
b) At what price is the elasticity demand equal to 1.
The above means that E(X) = 1
Putting 1 for E(X) in the elasticity equation,
E(x) = 13x / 760 - 13x
1 = 13x / 760 - 13x
When you cross multiply, you'll have
760 - 13x = 13x
Collecting like terms, you'll have
760 = 13x + 13x
760 = 26x
Dividing both sides by 26, you'll have
x = 760 /26
x = 29.23
It means that the elasticity at the price of demand = 1 is 29.23
c) At what price is the elasticity of demand elastic.
The above means that E(X) > 1
Thus;
13x / 760 - 13x > 1
When you cross multiply, you'll have
13x > 760 - 13x
Collecting like terms, you'll have
13x + 13x > 760
26x > 760
Dividing both sides by 26, you'll have
x > 760/26
x > 29.23
It means that the elasticity of demand is elastic at x > 29.23
d) At what price is the elasticity of demand inelastic
The above means that E(X) < 1
Hence;
13x / 760 - 13x < 1
When you cross multiply, you'll have
13x < 760 - 13x
Collecting like terms, you'll have
13x + 13x < 76
26x < 760
Dividing both sides by 26, you'll have
x < 760/26
x < 29.23
It means that the elasticity of demand is inelastic at x < 29.23
Skysong, Inc. reports the following for the month of June. Units Unit Cost Total Cost June 1 Inventory 250 $5 $ 1,250 12 Purchase 500 9 4,500 23 Purchase 375 11 4,125 30 Inventory 125 Calculate Weighted Average Unit Cost
Answer:
Weighted average unit cost = $8.78
Explanation:
The weighted average method of inventory determines the average cost per unit of inventory each time a new batch is received. or every new batch received the average cost per unit is re-computed by dividing the total value of stock by the outstanding number of units.
The explanation is completed using calculation below:
Total value of stock = (250× $5) + (500×$9) + (375 × 11) = $9,875
Total units of stock = 250 + 500 + 375 = 1,125 units
Weighted average unit cost = Total value of stock / total units of stock
= $9875 / 1125 units = $8.78
Weighted average unit cost = $8.78
g The Federal Reserve can lower short-run output by Group of answer choices lowering the real interest rate. increasing the money supply. decreasing the money supply. lowering the nominal interest rate. None of these answers is correct
Answer: Decreasing the money supply
Explanation:
When the Fed reduces money supply, it will remove the amount of excess money that people have to spend in the economy. This will lead to prices reducing because people no longer have a lot of money to spend on products therefore they will demand less goods. This will lead to the Aggregate demand curve shifting to the left. The new intersection with the Aggregate Supply curve will be at a point where prices will be lower and less quantity will be demanded which will signify a drop in the short-run output of the economy.
Bonita Industries applies overhead to production at a predetermined rate of 80% based on direct labor cost. Job No. 130, the only job still in process at the end of August, has been charged with manufacturing overhead of $5100. What was the amount of direct materials charged to Job 130 assuming the balance in Work in Process inventory is 45000?
Answer:
Direct Materials $ 33525
Explanation:
Bonita Industries
Job No. 130,
Manufacturing overhead $5100.
Direct Labor = $ 6375
5100 80
x 100
Using cross product direct labor = 5100 *100/80= 6375.
We have
Work in Process inventory $ 45000
Less
Manufacturing overhead $5100.
Direct Labor $ 6375
Direct Materials $ 33525
The Work in Process is debited with Direct Materials, Direct Labor and Manufacturing Overheads.
As we know the Direct Labor and Manufacturing Overheads we can find out the Direct Materials by subtracting the Direct Labor and Manufacturing Overheads from the Work In Process Inventory balance.

EPS $
c. What will EPS be if it borrows $420,000? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
EPS $
Answer:
Buhao Construction
a) Debt-to-Equity Ratio if it borrows $220,000
= Debit/Equity
= $220,000/$1,700,000
= 12.94%
b. EPS = $195,800/17,000
= $11.52
c. EPS = $173,800/17,000
= $10.22
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Outstanding Equity = 17,000 shares x $100 = $1,700,000
Interest rate = 11%
It is assumed that Buhao Construction pays no taxes
EBIT = $130,000
Debit = $220,000
Interest Expense = $24,200
Net Income = $195,800 ($220,000 - 24,200)
Debit = $420,000
Interest Expense = $46,200
Net Income = $173,800 ($220,000 - 46,200)
b) Debt-to-Equity Ratio of Buhao Construction is the relationship in ratio terms between debts and equity of the company. It shows the percentage of debts over the stockholders' equity.
c) EPS or Earnings per share shows the net income of Buhao Construction that can be attributed to each share. Stockholders use this measure to learn the profits that are generated for each share by the company during the period. A high EPS indicates that the business is profitable for stockholders.
Suppose the government passes a law that reduces unemployment benefits in a way that causes unemployed workers to seek out new jobs more quickly. The policy will cause the natural rate of unemployment to
Options:
a. Fall
b. Shift the long-run aggregate supply curve to the right
Answer:
b. Shift the long-run aggregate supply curve to the right
Explanation:
Indeed, in the long run the aggregate supply or the number of available unemployed workers in the economy would increase, due to an increase in the number of those looking for jobs, since they stand to get reduced unemployment benefits.
This change would be clearly visible if plotted on a labor supply graph. In a sense, the unemployed no longer want to remain unemployed because of reduced unemployment benefits.
Interviewers believe that when a candidate says negative things about their current employer, it shows the candidate is emotionally ready to switch to a new company.
a) Mostly true
b) Mostly false
Answer:
b) Mostly false
Explanation:
An Interview is the most essential part for the interviewer or an interviewee. The Interview is a part of a formal meeting where two or more people engage for evaluating, consulting etc. so that both the parties can determine their requirement.
Therefore according to the given situation, it is false to think that interviewer can judge that when the interviewee says the bad things for this current organization or their profile, this does not mean that the employee is ready to switch the job.
So, the right answer is b.

Classify each statement about types of market structure as either true or false. Monopolies produce differentiated products.
Answer: False
Explanation:
Monopolies do not produce differentiated products, they produce unique products. This is because they are the only supplier of the goods in question and as such do not need to differentiate their goods to have a sales advantage.
Variable Overhead Spending and Efficiency Variances, Columnar and Formula Approaches Aretha Company provided the following information: Standard variable overhead rate (SVOR) per direct labor hour $4.70 Actual variable overhead costs $335,750 Actual direct labor hours worked (AH) 69,200 Actual production in units 14,000 Standard hours (SH) allowed for actual units produced 70,000 Required: 1. Using the columnar approach, calculate the variable overhead spending and efficiency variances. Enter amounts as positive numbers and select Favorable (F) or Unfavorable (U).
Answer:
Variable overhead spending variance $10,380 U
Variable efficiency variances $ 3,760.00 F
Total variable overhead variance $ 6,620.00 U
Explanation:
1. Calculation for the variable overhead spending and efficiency variances
AH * AH
69,200*4.85=335,620.00
AH* SR
69,200 * 4.7=325,240.00
SH * SR
70,000*4.7= 329,000.00
Hence, the variable overhead spending will be:
AH * AH- AH* SR
=335,620.00-325,240.00= $10,380 U
The efficiency variances will be:
AH* SR- SH * SR =325,240.00- $329,000.00 =$ 3,760.00 F
2.Calculation for the variable overhead spending variance.
Using this formula
Variable overhead efficiency variance = SR × (AH – SH)
Let plug in the formula
SR = Standard variable manufacturing overhead rate = $4.70
AH = Actual hours worked during the period = 69,200
SH = Standard hours allowed for actual output or production = 70,000
Variable overhead efficiency variance = SR × (AH – SH) = 4.70 (69,200 -70000)
= 4.70* 800 =3,760.00 F
3.
Using this formula
Variable Overhead Spending variance = (Actual Rate * Actual Hour - Standard Rate * Actual Hour )
= AH (AR - SR)
Let plug in the formula
AR = 33,5750/69200
= $ 4.8
AH = Actual hours worked during the period = 69,200
SR = Standard variable manufacturing overhead rate = $4.70
Variable overhead spending variance = 69200 ( 4.85 - 4.70)
$ 10,380.00 U
4. Calculation for total variable overhead variance
Using this formula
Total Variable Overhead variance = (Actual Hour * Actual Rate - Standard Hour * Standard Rate)
Let plug in the formula
AH = Actual hours worked during the period = 69,200
SH = Standard hours allowed for actual output or production = 70,000
AR = 335750/69200 = $ 4.85
SR = Standard variable manufacturing overhead rate = $4.70
Total Variable Overhead variance = (69200*4.85) - (70000*4.7)
=$ 6,620.00 U
