a. Using the starting point formula, what is the price elasticity of demand for going from a price of $160 per unit to a price of $140 per unit
Answer:
Price Elasticity of Demand is -4
Explanation:
We can see the graph and easily calculate the Q1 which is 120 units at P1 $140 and Q2 which is 80 units at P2 $160 price.
The starting point formula for calculating price elasticity of demand is given as under:
Price Elasticity of Demand = (ΔQ / Q2) / (ΔP / P2)
Here
ΔQ = Q1 - Q2 = 120 - 80 = 40 units
ΔP = P1 - P2 = 140 - 160 = - $20
By putting value in the above equation, we have:
Price Elasticity of Demand = (40 Units / 80 Units) / (-$20 / $160)
Price Elasticity of Demand = -4
Price Elasticity of Demand is -4
Calculation of the price elasticity of demand:Since in the graph it is mentioned that Q1 which is 120 units at P1 $140 and Q2 which is 80 units at P2 $160 price.
So we know that
Price Elasticity of Demand = (ΔQ / Q2) / (ΔP / P2)
where
ΔQ = Q1 - Q2 = 120 - 80 = 40 units
ΔP = P1 - P2 = 140 - 160 = - $20
Now
Price Elasticity of Demand
= (40 Units / 80 Units) / (-$20 / $160)
= -4

Sleep Tight, Inc. manufactures bedding sets. The budgeted production is for 49,700 comforters this year. Each comforter requires 1.5 hours to cut and sew the material. The cost of cutting and sewing labor is $19.70 per hour. Determine the direct labor budget for this year.
Answer:
Total direct labor hours= 74,550
Total direct labor cost= $1,468,635
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production= 49,700 units
Each comforter requires 1.5 hours to cut and sew the material.
The cost of cutting and sewing labor is $19.70 per hour.
We need to determine the direct labor budget:
Direct labor budget:
Total direct labor hours= 49,700*1.5= 74,550
Total direct labor cost= 74,550*19.7= $1,468,635
Kunkel Company makes two products and uses a conventional costing system in which a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate is computed based on direct labor-hours. Data for the two products for the upcoming year follow:
Mercon Wurcon
Direct materials cost per unit $ 9.00 $ 7.00
Direct labor cost per unit $15.00 $ 17.00
Direct labor-hours per unit 0.40 4.80
Number of units produced 4,000 8,000
These products are customized to some degree for specific customers.
Required:
1. The company's manufacturing overhead costs for the year are expected to be $1,600,000. Using the company's conventional costing system, compute the unit product costs for the two products.
2. Management is considering an activity-based costing system in which half of the overhead would continue to be allocated on the basis of direct labor-hours and half would be allocated on the basis of engineering design time. This time is expected to be distributed as follows during the upcoming year:
Mercon Wurcon Total
Engineering design time (in hours) 8,000 8,000 16,000
Compute the unit product costs for the two products using the proposed ABC system.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Mercon Wurcon
Direct materials cost per unit $ 9.00 $ 7.00
Direct labor cost per unit $15.00 $ 17.00
Direct labor-hours per unit 0.40 4.80
Number of units produced 4,000 8,000
A. First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Total direct labor hours= 0.4*4,000 + 4.8*8,000= 40,000
Overhead= 1,600,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 1,600,000/40,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $40 per direct labor hour
Now, we can determine the unitary product cost.
Mercon= 9 + 15 + 40*0.4= $37
Wurcon= 7 + 17 + 4.8*40= $216
B.
Mercon Wurcon Total
Engineering design time (in hours) 8,000 8,000 16,000
Now, we have two different allocation rates:
Direct-labor hours= 800,000/40,000= $20 per direct labor hour
Engineer desing= 800,000/16,000= $50 per engineer desing hour
Finally, we can determine the unitary product cost:
Engineer design per unit:
Mercon= 8,000/4,000= 2
Wurcon= 8,000/8,000= 1
Mercon= 9 + 15 + (20*0.4 + 50*2) = $132
Wurcon= 7 + 17 + (20*4.8 + 50*1)= $170

Stan Slickum has a used car that can be bought for $8 comma 500 cash or for a $1 comma 000 down payment and $770 per month for 12 months. What is the effective annual interest rate on the monthly payment plan?
Answer:
48.8%
Explanation:
We can use the rate formula to determine the monthly rate as follows:
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
nper is the number of monthly payments which is 12
pmt is the amount of monthly payment which is $770
pv is the cash price of the minus downpayment i.e $8500-$1000=$7500
fv is the balance after all payments have been made i.e $0
=rate(12,770,-7500,0)=3.37%
effective monthly rate=(1+3.37% )^12-1=48.8%

Service Revenue 10900 Cr
March 20
Cash 10573 Dr
Service discount 327 Dr
Accounts Receivable 10900 Cr
Explanation:
March 12
The provision of services on account is recorded by a debit ot the asset account in form of accounts receivable and a credit to the service revenue. The full amount/ gross amount of service revenue is recorded as we assume that we use the gross method to record the service revenue.
March 20
The terms of credit which are 3/10 means that a 3% discount is allowed by Medical Waste Services if the Grace Hospital pays within the 10 days of the service provided on account. As the Grace Hospital pays within this period, a service discount of 10900 * 0.03 = 327 is allowed.
The remaining cash to be collected is 10900- 327 = 10573
A company that makes shopping carts for supermarkets and other stores recently purchased some new equipment that reduces the labor content of the jobs needed to produce the shopping carts. Prior to buying the new equipment, the company used five workers, who produced an average of 77 carts per hour. Workers receive $11/hour and machine cost was $47 per hour. With the new equipment, it was possible to transfer one of the workers to another department, and equipment cost increased by $14 per hour while output increased by four carts per hour.
a. Compute the multifactor productivity(MFP) (labor plus equipment) under the Prior to buying the new equipment. (Round to 4 decimal places)
b. Compute the % growth in productivity between the Prior and after buying the new equipment. (Round to 2 decimal places
Answer:
Multifactor productivity MFP before buying new equipment = 0.7549 carts/dollar cost
Growth in productivity between the Prior and after buying the new equipment. = 31.49%
Explanation:
Given that:
the number of workers before buying new equipment = 5
average cart production per hour = 77
worker's wage = $11
Cost of the machine = $47
After buying the new equipment;
number of worker is now = 4 since it is possible to transfer one of their worker to another department
average cart production per hour = $(77 +4) = $81
worker's wage = $11
Cost of the machine = $(47+14) = $61
The objective of this question is to "
a. Compute the multifactor productivity(MFP) (labor plus equipment) under the Prior to buying the new equipment.
Multifactor productivity MFP= Carts produced / (Labor cost + Equipment cost)
where;
Labor Cost = (Number of workers × Worker wage)
Multifactor productivity MFP = Carts produced / ((Number of workers × Worker wage) + Equipment cost)
We are to find just only the multifactor productivity(MFP) (labor plus equipment) under the Prior to buying the new equipment.
i.e before buying the new equipment.
Multifactor productivity MFP = 77/ (5 × 11) + 47)
Multifactor productivity MFP = 77/ (55+ 47)
Multifactor productivity MFP = 77/ (102)
Multifactor productivity MFP = 77/ (102)
Multifactor productivity MFP = 0.7549 carts/dollar cost
b. Compute the % growth in productivity between the Prior and after buying the new equipment. (Round to 2 decimal places
Growth in productivity = (Labor New productivity - Labor Old productivity) / Labor Old productivity] × 100
where;
Labor Productivity = Number of carts produced per hour / Number of workers
Labor Productivity (before buying new equipment) = 77/5
Labor Productivity (before buying new equipment) = 15.4 carts/worker/hour
Labor Productivity ( after buying the new equipment) = 81/4
Labor Productivity ( after buying the new equipment) = 20.25 carts/worker/hour
Growth in productivity = (20.25 - 15.40 /15.40) × 100
Growth in productivity = (4.85 / 15.40 )× 100
Growth in productivity = 0.3149 × 100
Growth in productivity = 31.49%
On January 1, Boston Enterprises issues bonds that have a $3,400,000 par value, mature in 20 years, and pay 9% interest semiannually on June 30 and December 31. The bonds are sold at par. 1. How much interest will Boston pay (in cash) to the bondholders every six months
Answer:
interest expense per coupon payment (every 6 months) = $153,000
Explanation:
In this case, since the bonds were sold at par, the interest expense and the actual cash payments are the same (no premium or discount would be amortized). To calculate the interest payment we just multiply the bonds' face value x annual interest rate x 1/2 (semiannual coupons) = $3,400,000 x 9% x 1/2 = $153,000
If investors receive a 6% interest rate on their bank deposits, what real interest rate will they earn if the inflation rate over the year is:
Question
The complete question is given as follows:
if investors receive a 6% interest rate on their bank deposits, what real interest rate will they earn if the inflation rate over the year is:
a) 3%
b) 6%
Answer:
a) Real rate = 2.91%
b) Real rate = 0%
Explanation:
Inflation is the increase in the price level.It erodes the value of money.
Nominal interest is that quoted for investment or loan transactions. It has not been been adjusted for inflation.
Real interest rate is the amount of interest in terms of the the quantity of good and services that can be purchased. It is the nominal interest rate adjusted for inflation.
The relationship between inflation, real interest and nominal interest rate is given using the Fishers Effect;
R = (1+N)/(1+F) - 1=
N- Nominal interest rate
R- Real interest rate
F- Inflation rate
a) Where inflation rate is 3%
Real rate = (1.06/1.03 - 1)× 100 = 2.91%
b) Where inflation rate is 6%
Real rate = (1.06/1.06 - 1)× 100 = 0%
a) Real rate = 2.91%
b) Real rate = 0%
A bond that pays interest annually yielded 6.01 percent last year. The inflation rate for the same period was 3 percent. Given that information, the actual real rate of return on this bond for last year was _____percent.
Answer:
2.3%
Explanation:
The computation of the actual real rate of return is shown below:-
Actual real rate of return on this bond for last year = ((1 + Nominal rate of interest ) ÷ (1 + Inflation rate of return)) - 1
= ((1 + 0.0601) ÷ (1 + 0.03)) - 1
= 1.0601 ÷ 1.03 - 1
= 1.023 - 1
= 0.023
or
= 2.3%
Therefore for computing the actual rate of return we simply applied the above formula.
Would you expect a brick-and-mortar retailer or an online retailer to have a higher asset turnover? Why or why not? Which supply chain drivers impact asset turnover?
Answer:
An online retailer would on a balance of probability have a higher asset turnover than a brick-and-mortar retailer.
Explanation:
The reason is not farfetched. If done properly, an online retailer is most likely to succeed at reaching more customers and penetrating more markets.
The total population of active internet users is currently estimated at 4.5 Billion. For truly global products or retail outlets such as Amazon and Alibaba, this figure is staggering. It is impossible to compare a truly successful online retailer to a brick-and-mortar retailer whose market, at its best, covers only those within its locality.
So using online retail store such as Amazon as an example, they might have significant investment in online platforms, dedicated servers and warehouses, their turnover which as at 2019 stood at 4.5x is relatively strong.
The supply chain drivers which impact asset turnover are inventory, accounts receivables and facilities.

orrugated Company currently produces cardboard boxes in an automated process. Expected production per month is 40,000 units. The required direct materials cost $0.30 per unit. Manufacturing fixed overhead costs are $24,000 per month. Manufacturing overhead is allocated based on units of production. ___________ is the flexible budget for 40,000 and 20,000 units, respectively.
Answer:
$36,000 and $30,000
Explanation:
Corrugated company deals in the production of cardboard boxes
The expected production for each month is 40,000 units
The direct material cost is $0.30 per unit
The manufacturing fixed overhead costs are $24,000 for each month
Therefore, the flexible budget for the production of 40,000 units and 20,000 units can be calculated as follows
Flexible budget for 40,000 units
= 0.30×40,000+24,000
= 12,000+24,000
= $36,000
Flexible budget for 20,000 units
= 0.30×20,000+24,000
= 6,000+24,000
= $30,000
Hence the flexible budget for 40,000 units and 20,000 units are $36,000 and $30,000 respectively
Product X used the following quantity of activity drivers to produce 100 units of final product: 25 setups, 40 material moves and 75 machine hours What is the total indirect manufacturing cost per unit for product X based on an ABC system? g
Answer:
$137.50 per unit
Explanation:
The computation of the total indirect manufacturing cost per unit is shown below:
Machine setups 15000 ÷ 100 × 25 = $3750
Material moves 22500 ÷ 225 × 40 = $4000
M/c. Operations 14000 ÷ 175 × 75 = $6000
Total Cost for 100 units $13,750
And since there is 100 units
So, the total indirect manufcturing cost per unit is
= $13,750 ÷100 units
= $137.50
Gullett Corporation had $26,000 of raw materials on hand on November 1. During the month, the Corporation purchased an additional $75,000 of raw materials. The journal entry to record the purchase of raw materials would include a:
Answer:
debit to Raw Materials of $75,000
Explanation:
In this scenario, the journal entry to record the purchase of raw materials would include a debit to Raw Materials of $75,000. A debit is an entry recording a sum owed, listed on the left-hand side or column of an account. Therefore in accounting, since Gullet Corporation's purchase was for an "additional" $75,000 worth of raw material, they owe that money to the company and must make it up through sales that those materials should generate in the future. That is why it is recorded as a debit.
Eric deposits 100 into a savings account at time 0, which pays interest at a nominal rate of i, compounded semiannually. Mike deposits 200 into a different savings account at time 0, which pays simple interest at an annual rate of i. Eric and Mike earn the same amount of interest during the last six months of the 8th year. Calculate i.
Answer:
9.46%
Explanation:
Eric gets compounded interest = principal x (1 + interest rate)ⁿ
Mike gets simple interest = principal x [1 + (interest rate x n)]
during the first 7.5 years, Eric will get: 100 x (1 + 0.5i)¹⁵, in order to simplify the calculations we can call this Principal₇.₅
during the last 6 months Eric will earn: [Principal₇.₅ x (1 + 0.5i)] - Principal₇.₅ *WE ONLY WANT TO CALCULATE THE INTEREST, NOT THE PRINCIPAL
Principal₇.₅ + Principal₇.₅ (0.5i) - Principal₇.₅ = Principal₇.₅ (0.5i)
now we replace Principal₇.₅ (0.5i):
100 x (1 + 0.5i)¹⁵ x 0.5i = 50i x (1 + 0.5i)¹⁵
since Mike earns simple interest, during the last 6 months he will earn:
200 x 0.5i = 100i
now we equal both equations:
50i x (1 + 0.5i)¹⁵ = 100i
(1 + 0.5i)¹⁵ = 100i / 50i = 2
(1 + 0.5i)¹⁵ = 2
¹⁵√(1 + 0.5i)¹⁵ = ¹⁵√2
1 + 0.5i = 1.04729
0.5i = 1.04729 - 1 = 0.04729
i = 0.04729 / 0.5 = 0.09458 = 9.46%
"At the market opening, a customer purchases 200 shares of an S&P 500 Inverse ETF (-1x) at $50 per share. At the end of that day, the S&P 500 Index declines by 10%. The next day, the index partially recovers and closes up 5%. What will be the market value of the 200 share position?"
Answer:
Market Value of the 200 share position:= 200 x $47.25
= $9,450
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Purchase of 200 shares of an S&P 500 Inverse ETF (-1x) at $50 per share
= $10,000 at beginning on purchase date.
Value at the end of the day = $9,000 ($10,000 x 0.90)
Value at the end of the next day = $9,450 ($9,000 x 1.05)
Another way to calculate the above is to concentrate on the unit price
Therefore, purchase price = $50 per share
Value on purchase date = 200 x $50 = $10,000
End of the purchase day price = $45 ($50 x 90%)
Value at the end of the day = 200 x $45 = $9,000
Next day price = $47.25 ($45 x 1.05)
Value next day = 200 x $47.25 = $9,450
Jim Keys holds a $200,000 portfolio consisting of the following stocks:_______.
Stock Investment Beta
Alpha $50,000 0.50
Beta $50,000 0.80
Gamma $50,000 1.00
Delta $50,000 1.30
What is the portfolio's beta?
Answer:
0.9
Explanation:
For the computation of portfolio beta first we need to follow some steps which is shown below:-
Step 1
Total Portfolio value = Value of Alpha + Value of Beta + Value of Gamma + Value of Delta
= $50,000 + $50,000 + $50,000 + $50,000
= $200,000
Step 2
Weight of Alpha = Value of Alpha ÷ Total Portfolio Value
= $50,000 ÷ $200,000
= 0.25
Step 3
Weight of Beta = Value of Beta ÷ Total Portfolio Value
= $50,000 ÷ $200,000
= 0.25
Step 4
Weight of Gamma = Value of Gamma ÷ Total Portfolio Value
= $50,000 ÷ $200,000
= 0.25
Step 5
Weight of Delta = Value of Delta ÷ Total Portfolio Value
= $50,000 ÷ $200,000
= 0.25
and finally
Beta of Portfolio = Weight of Alpha × Beta of Alpha + Weight of Beta × Beta of Beta + Weight of Gamma × Beta of Gamma + Weight of Delta × Beta of Delta
= 0.5 × 0.25 + 0.8 × 0.25 + 1 × 0.25 + 1.3 × 0.25
= 0.9

Answer:
1) a. 0.2 TVs , 5 bottles
b. 0.33 TVs , 3 bottles
2) Coastal realm has a comparative advantage in producing digital TVs.
Border Kingdom has a comparative advantage in producing bottles of wine.
Explanation:
1)
a. In Border Kingdom:
Opportunity cost of producing 300 bottles of wine = production of 60 TVs.
Thus opportunity cost of producing 1 bottle of wine = 60/300 = 0.2 TVs
Opportunity cost of producing 1 TV = 300/60 = 5 bottles.
b. In Coastal realm:
Opportunity cost of producing 1 bottle of wine = 50/150 = 0.33 TVs
Opportunity cost of producing 1 TV= 150/50 = 3 bottles
2)
From the above, it is seen that the opportunity cost of producing 1 wine bottle is lower for Border Kingdom and the opportunity cost of producing TV is lower for Coastal Realm, therefore, the country Border Kingdom should produce wine bottles and Coastal Realm should produce TV's.

"A customer places an order with a registered representative to sell 5,000,000 shares of ABC stock (NYSE listed) "at the market." The registered representative should:"
Answer:
Contact the firm's large block trading desk.
Explanation:
The reason why the registered representative would contact the firm's large block trading desk is because the order is larger than what can be handled normally on the Newyork Stock Exchange (NYSE) floor. Where large order as in the above is to be sold on the stock exchange floor, such would normally be presented to the firm's large block trading desk who will now decide on how best to handle the order; hence not the duty of registered representative.
Based on past experience, the trade desk would likely hand over the order to one of ABC's stock brokers for execution because for example, Super Display Book - NYSE automated system, which is responsible for dealing NYSE listed issues, has certain limited orders they can take.

Pearls, Pearls, Pearls! manufactures and sells jewelry. The total variable cost of goods sold this month is $72,490. Variable selling and administrative cost is $22 per unit sold. If 350 units are produced and 314 units are sold this month, the total variable cost reported on the income statementforthe month is $:___________
Answer:
Total variable cost= $71,940.54
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The total variable cost of goods sold this month is $72,490.
Variable selling and administrative cost is $22 per unit sold.
350 units are produced and 314 units are sold this month.
First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost per unit:
Unitary production cost= 72,490/350= $207.11
Now, we can calculate the total variable cost:
Total variable cost= (207.11 + 22)*314= $71,940.54
When Acme Dynamite produces 250 units of output, its variable cost is $2,000, and its fixed cost is $500. It sells each unit of output for $25. If the price of dynamite drops to $10, should Acme Dynamite continue to operate in the short run?
Answer:
The firm will continue to produce in the short run.
Explanation:
Given the number of units produced by Acme Dynamite = 250 units.
The variable cost of producing the 250 units = $2000
The fixed cost = $500
The selling price = $25 per unit.
The new price after the fall in price = $10
Total revenue from the selling of 250 units = 250 × 10 = $2500
Since the revenue received is covering the variable cost and fixed cost. Thus, the firm will produce or continue to produce in the short run.
