Answer:
a. Decrease by 15%
b. decrease by 16%
Explanation:
a. As we know that
Camaro and ford mustangs would be considered as a substitute goods as the cross price elasticity of demand comes in positive so in the case when the price of camaro decrease so the quantity of Mustang would also decreased by 1.5 ×10% = 15%
b. As we know that Gasoline and mustang would be considered as complementary goods so if the price of gasoline would increase by 20% so the quantity of mustang be decreased by 0.80 × 20% = 16%
The before-trade domestic price of tomatoes in the United States is $500 per ton. The world price of tomatoes is $400 per ton. The U.S. is a price-taker in the tomatoes market. If trade in tomatoes is not allowed, the price of tomatoes in the United States:______
a. could increase or decrease or be unaffected; this cannot be determined.
b. will increase, and this will cause consumer surplus to decrease.
c. will be unaffected, and consumer surplus will be unaffected as well.
d. will decrease, and this will cause consumer surplus to increase.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
The US does not produce tomatoes efficiently. This is because the price of tomatoes in the US is higher when compared with the rest of the world.
The best option for US is to import tomatoes.
If trade is not allowed, the price of tomatoes would increase and consumer surplus would decrease
Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.
Consumer surplus = willingness to pay – price of the good
If trade is allowed price would decrease and consumer surplus would increase

Net profit margin = $16,060/$32,000 * 100 = 50.19%
4b. The net profit margin is better than the 30.0% earned by a close competitor.
Explanation:
The adjustment for Electric Utility does not form part of the adjusted trial balance. If we assume that the payment was eventually made on April 30, the Cash Balance will reduce by $1,560 and the total expenses will increase by the same amount with an equal reduction in the net income to $14,500. This will also reduce the net profit margin to 45.31%.

Question 3: Cost terminology in manufacturing firms a) Direct materials include all materials and components only raw materials such as steel and glass only major materials and components Correct: Your answer is correct. Direct labor includes all production labor including supervisors and maintenance staff only managers who directly supervise the production process only hourly production workers (aka assembly workers) Correct: Your answer is correct. Manufacturing overhead includes only big items that cannot be traced (e.g., factory rent) only non-manufacturing costs only small items that are not worth tracing (e.g., glue, grease) both big items that cannot be traced (e.g., factory rent) and small items that are not worth tracing (e.g., glue, grease) Correct: Your answer is correct. b) Classify the following items as direct materials (DM), direct labor (DL), or manufacturing overhead (OH) for a car assembly plant: Rent for the factory building DL DM OH Correct: Your answer is correct. Cost of engines used in production DL DM OH Correct: Your answer is correct. Depreciation on production equipment DL DM OH Correct: Your answer is correct. Cost of lubricant used in production DL DM OH Correct: Your answer is correct. Production supervisor's salary DL DM OH Correct: Your answer is correct. Assembly workers' wages DL DM OH Correct: Your answer is correct.
Answer:
1. a. Only major materials and components.
Only the major materials and components are include as direct materials because these are the materials that directly needed for production.
b. Only hourly production workers (aka assembly workers).
The direct labor has to be those people who are directly involved in production which in this case is the assembly workers. Managers and Supervisors are not integral so are not direct labor.
c. Both big items that cannot be traced (e.g., factory rent) and small items that are not worth tracing (e.g., glue, grease).
All other items involved in production should be included as manufacturing overheads including big items and small items that cannot be traced.
2.
Rent for the factory building ⇒ Manufacturing Overhead (OH).
Cost of engines used in production ⇒ Direct materials (DM).
Depreciation on production equipment ⇒ Manufacturing Overhead (OH).
Cost of lubricant used in production. ⇒ Manufacturing Overhead (OH).
Production supervisor's salary. ⇒ Manufacturing Overhead (OH).
Assembly workers' wages. ⇒ Direct Labor.
In Los Angeles County, the median price rose 0.5% to $618,000 in June and sales fell 12.1%.
In Orange County, the median price slipped 0.3% to $738,000 and sales fell 9.4%.
In Riverside County, the median price climbed 5.3% to $399,000 and sales fell 4%.
In San Bernardino County, the median price rose 1.5% to $340,000 and sales fell 11.4%.
In Ventura County, the median price dropped 5.7% to $580,000 and sales rose 1.6%.
In San Diego County, the median price rose 2.6% to $590,000 and sales fell 7.4%.
1. The price elasticity of demand in San Bernardino County is ____. Give your answer in two decimals.
2. Holding the price elasticity of demand constant, sales in San Bernardino County would fall by __% if prices increased by 2%. Give your answer to two decimals.
3. Assume that no other factors influence the demand or supply of housing. In ___ County, the law of demand appears to be violated. Choices: San Diego, Riverside, Orange and Los Angeles
Answer:
Part 1 : -7.6
Part 2: 15.2%
Part 3: Orange County
Explanation:
Part 1. Price Elasticity:
The formula for Price Elasticity is:
Price Elasticity = Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded divided by the percentage change in price.
So,
We need percentage change in price and percentage change in quantity demanded in order to solve for price elasticity of demand in San Bernardino County.
So,
As we know that,
In San Bernardino County, the median price rose 1.5% to $340,000 and sales fell 11.4%.
Hence,
The Percentage Change in Price = 1.5
The Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded = -11.4
Just Plugging in these values in the Price Elasticity formula, we get:
Price Elasticity of Demand = -11.4 / 1.5
Price Elasticity of Demand = -7.6
Part 2: Condition Given: If Price increased by 2%
So,
In this we are asked to find the percentage change in quantity demanded.
Therefore, we will use the same formula of Plasticity of demand.
Price Elasticity of Demand = Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded divided by the percentage change in price.
Making Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded as subject:
Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded = Price Elasticity multiplied by the percentage change in price.
Here,
Percentage Change in price = 2%
Price Elasticity of Demand = -7.6
Just plugging in these values in to the formula:
Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded = -7.6 x 2
Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded = -15.2
Therefore, Holding the price elasticity of demand constant, sales in San Bernardino County would fall by _15.2_% if prices increased by 2%.
Part 3:
To solve this part, first we need to understand the law of demands:
Law of demands says that the relationship of change in price and change in quantity demanded is inversely proportional keeping all other factors constant. So, if price goes high, quantity demanded will go down and vice versa.
And here,
In _Orange__ County, the law of demand appears to be violated.
On January 1, Gucci Brothers Inc. started the year with a $696,000 balance in Retained Earnings and a $602,000 balance in common stock. During the year, the company reported net income of $109,000, paid a dividend of $14,400, and issued more common stock for $30,000. What is total stockholders' equity at the end of the year?
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the above information, we will first calculate the common stock
Common stock = Balance in common stock + Common stock issued
= $602,000 + $30,000
= $632,000
Retained earnings
= Balance in retained earning + Net income - dividend paid
= $696,000 + $109,000 - $14,400
= $790,600
Total stockholder equity
= Common stock + retained earning
= $632,000 + $790,600
= $1,422,600
Tardis Intertemporal(TI) has 16,800,000 shares issued and outstanding and is trading at $83.20 per share. The company issues 2,400,000 new shares with a subscription price of $52.00. Under the terms of the offering, 7 rights are required to subscribe to one new share at the subscription price, and each shareholder is issued one right for each share owned.
If all the shares offered are taken up then Tardis Intertemporal(TI) will raise _____________
and, after the capital infusion, the market capitalization of the company will be ______________
After the new shares are issued the market price should be ______________
The fair market value of the right should thus be __________
Answer:
If all the shares offered are taken up then Tardis Intertemporal(TI) will raise = $52 x 2,400,000 = $124,800,000
and, after the capital infusion, the market capitalization of the company will be = ($83.20 x 16,800,000) + $124,800,000 = $1,397,760,000 + $124,800,000 = $ 1,522,560,000
After the new shares are issued the market price should be = $1,522,560,000 / (16,800,000 + 2,400,000) = $1,522,560,000 / 19,200,000 = $79.30
The fair market value of the right should thus be = ($83.20 - $52) / (7 + 1) = $31.20 / 8 = $3.90

1. Justin’s employer was downsizing and offered employees an amount equal to one year’s salary if the employee would voluntarily retire.
2. Trina contracted a disease and was unable to work for six months. Because of her dire circumstances, her employer paid her one-half of her regular salary while she was away from work.
3. Coral Corporation collected $1,000,000 on a key person life insurance policy when its chief executive died. The corporation had paid the premiums on the policy of $77,000, which were not deductible by the corporation.
4. Juan collected $40,000 on a life insurance policy when his wife, Leona, died in 2020. The insurance policy was provided by Leona’s employer, and the premiums were excluded from Leona’s gross income as group term life insurance. In 2020, Juan also collected the $3,500 accrued salary owed to Leona at the time of her death.
Answer:
1. Justin’s employer was downsizing and offered employees an amount equal to one year’s salary if the employee would voluntarily retire.
the compensation is included in Justin's gross income.
2. Trina contracted a disease and was unable to work for six months. Because of her dire circumstances, her employer paid her one-half of her regular salary while she was away from work.
the compensation is included in Trina's gross income.
3. Coral Corporation collected $1,000,000 on a key person life insurance policy when its chief executive died. The corporation had paid the premiums on the policy of $77,000, which were not deductible by the corporation.
the benefits are included in the company's taxable income, but the premiums paid are deductible
4. Juan collected $40,000 on a life insurance policy when his wife, Leona, died in 2020. The insurance policy was provided by Leona’s employer, and the premiums were excluded from Leona’s gross income as group term life insurance. In 2020, Juan also collected the $3,500 accrued salary owed to Leona at the time of her death.
the life insurance policy proceeds are not taxable, but the accrued salaries are taxedA rational buyer will: buy a product until the marginal benefit of consuming the product is less than the price of the product. buy the product only when the marginal benefit of consuming the product is twice as much as the price of the product. not consider costs versus benefits when purchasing a product. keep buying a product until marginal benefit equals price.
Answer:
keep buying a product until marginal benefit equals price
Explanation:
A rational consumer would continue to consume a product until the marginal benefit of the last unit consumed equal marginal cost. At this point, utility is maximised.
For example, if the price of a bottle of water is $4. The utility you derive from the first bottle is 6. So you consume one more bottle, the utility you derive from the second bottle is 5. you buy a third bottle. The utility you derive from the 3rd bottle is 4. At this point utility is maximised and you should stop consuming more water
If you consume a 4th bottle, the utility you would derive from it would be 3 utils. This doesn't make sense because you are paying more for the bottle when compared to the utility you would derive from it

M Corp. has an employee benefit plan for compensated absences that gives each employee 15 paid vacation days. Vacation days can be carried over indefinitely. Employees can elect to receive payment in lieu of vacation days. At December 31, 2021, M's unadjusted balance of liability for compensated absences was $35,400. M estimated that there were 200 total vacation days available at December 31, 2021. M's employees earn an average of $177 per day. After recording any necessary adjustment, in its December 31, 2021, balance sheet, what amount of liability for compensated absences is M required to report
Answer:
$35,400
Explanation:
Calculation for what amount of liability for compensated absences is M required to report
Using this formula
Liability for compensated absences=Total vacation days available at December 31, 2021 *Average wage per day
Let plug in the formula
Liability for compensated absences=200*$177 per day
Liability for compensated absences=$35,400
Therefore the Liability for compensated absences at December 31, 2021 will be $35,400

What is one of the basic principles of economics?
A.
Society’s resources are unlimited.
B.
People never put their own interests as their first priority.
C.
If people demand a product, then businesses are required to supply it.
D.
Society and its individuals have unlimited wants.
Answer:
D. Society and its individuals have unlimited wants.
Explanation:
Economics can be defined as the study of how to use scarce or limited resources to meet the unending needs and wants of the consumers.
One of the basic principles of economics is that society and its individuals have unlimited wants because humans are generally insatiable. Therefore, we are left with the option of choosing (choices) because we cannot have all that we desire or want and the resources used to meet the demands are scarce or limited.
Generally, Economics can be classified into two (2) categories, namely;
1. Macroeconomics can be defined as the study of behaviors, performance and factors that affect the entire economy. Hence, it focuses on aggregate phenomena such as price level, economic growth, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), inflation, unemployment and national income levels with respect to the central bank, demand or supply shocks, government policies, aggregate spending and savings.
2. Microeconomics can be defined as the study of the effect of price and quantity levels through interactions between individual buyers and sellers in various markets.
Hence, it is focuses on analyzing or evaluating the decisions of consumers (buyers) and those of firms (sellers) such as methods of production, pricing; and the manner in which government policies affect those decisions.

Apply the revenue recognition principle to determine a. when Seacoast Magazine should record revenue for this situation. b. the amount of revenue Seacoast Magazine should record for five issues.
Answer:
a. Revenue is earned when when service or product are delivered to client. Thus Seacoast Magazine should recognize the revenue when it mails the magazines to its subscribers.
b. Total amount received is $60 for 30 issues.
Amount for 1 issues = Total cost / Number of issues of magazines = $60/30 = $2 per issue
Amount of 5 issues = $2 * 5 = $10
Therefore, Seacoast Magazine should record revenue $10 for 5 issues.

Question 1: TimeValueOfMoneyPro110Alt1 An engineer in a developing country observes that his project bank account has grown from 1400000 to 1558869 (local currency units) in 15 days with no deposits or withdrawals being made. He knows that the account earns interest compounded daily. Question 1 What is the daily compound rate of interest earned on the account
Answer: 0.72%
Explanation:
Using the Present value formula:
Present value = Future value / (1 + r)^n
Making r the subject of the formula makes the equation:
r = (Future value / Present value ) ^ 1/n - 1
= (1,558,869/ 1,400,000)¹/¹⁵ - 1
= 0.72%
You are asked to assess the current service model for a manufacturing line featuring 8 machines. Based on empirical data you have determined that machines have a 23% likelihood of being down and in need of repair. There are currently 2 workers capable of running and repairing machines. Each of the 8 machines can produce 18 units/hour. The overhead for running each of the 8 machines is $713 per day per machine. Each operator is paid at an hourly rate of $15. [You can assume an 8-hour work day]
a. Determine the total amount of lost work time.
b. Should you hire an additional worker to run the 8 machines in this manufacturing line?
Answer:
A) 14.72 hours
B) An additional worker should be hired since the lost work time is 14.72 hours
Explanation:
Number of machines on manufacturing line = 8
percentage of machine been down = 23%
number of workers capable of running and repairing machines = 2
machine productivity ( per machine ) = 18 units/hour
overhead cost / machine = $713
hourly rate paid per worker = $15
Total number of work hours = 8 hour
A) calculate Total amount of lost worktime
= number of machines * Total number of work hours * 23%
= 8 * 8 * 23% = 14.72 hours
B) An additional worker should be hired since the lost work time is 14.72 hours

The accounting staff at Valencia Manufacturing, Incorporated has provided the following data for the month of July. The balance in the Work in Process inventory account was $31,000 at the beginning of the month and $21,500 at the end of the month. During the month, the Corporation incurred direct materials cost of $56,800 and direct labor cost of $30,700. The actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred was $53,900. The manufacturing overhead cost applied to Work in Process was $52,800. The cost of goods manufactured for July was:
Answer:
the cost of goods manufactured is $149,800
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of goods manufactured is given below:
= Opening work in process + total manufacturing cost - ending work in process
= $31,000 + ($56,800 + $30,700 + $52,800) - $21,500
= $31,000 + $140,300 - $21,500
= $149,800
hence, the cost of goods manufactured is $149,800

Assume that the risk-free rate of interest is 3% and the expected rate of return on the market is 14%. I am buying a firm with an expected perpetual cash flow of $1,000 but am unsure of its risk. If I think the beta of the firm is 0.9, when in fact the beta is really 1.8, how much more will I offer for the firm than it is truly worth
Answer: $3,365.98
Explanation:
Value of firm with beta of 0.9.
First use CAPM to find the required return:
= Risk free rate + beta * (Market return - risk free rate)
= 3% + 0.9 * (14% - 3%)
= 12.9%
Firm Value = Perpertual cashflow / Required return
= 1,000 / 12.9%
= $7,751.94
Value of firm with beta of 1.8.
Required return = 3% + 1.8 * (14% - 3%)
= 22.8%
Value of firm = 1,000 / 22.8%
= $4,385.96
Difference = 7,751.94 - 4,385.96
= $3,365.98
You would be paying $3,365.98 than the firm is worth.
