Answer: 5,950 people
Explanation:
The labor force in a country refers to the number of both employed and unemployed in an economy. Unemployed people by definition are those actively seeking employment which means that discouraged workers and those who are not seeking employment are not included.
Labor force = Working full time + Part time workers + Unemployed
= 3,150 + 2,400 + 400
= 5,950 people

Based on the above calculation the city does NOT have a competitive advantage in this industry.
Tammy, a resident of Virginia, is considering purchasing a $100,000 North Carolina bond that yields 4.6% before tax. She is in the 35% Federal marginal tax bracket and the 5% state marginal tax bracket. She is aware that State of Virginia bonds of comparable risk are yielding 4.5%. However, the Virginia bonds are exempt from Virginia tax, but the North Carolina bond interest is taxable in Virginia. Tammy can deduct any state taxes paid on her Federal income tax return. In your analysis, assume that the bond amount is $100,000.
The question is incomplete. The complete question is :
Tammy, a resident of Virginia, is considering whether to purchase a $100, 000 North Carolina bond that yields 4.6% before tax. She is in the 35% Federal marginal tax bracket and the 5% state marginal tax bracket. Tammy is aware that State of Virginia bonds of comparable risk are yielding 4.5%. Virginia bonds are exempt from Virginia tax, but the North Carolina bond interest is taxable in Virginia. Tammy can deduct all state taxes paid on her Federal income tax return. In your analysis, assume that the bond amount is $100,000.If required, round your computations and answers to the nearest dollar. Determine the after tax income from each bond. Virginia Bond: $ 4, 600 North Carolina Bond: $ 4, 451 Which of the two options will provide the greater after-tax return to Tammy? Virginia bond
Solution :
Assuming that the bond amount is $100,000.
After the tax income from the Virginia bond is given by:
= 100,000 x 4.5%
= $ 4500
After the income tax from the North Carolina bond :
= (100,000 x 4.6%) x (1-5%) + (100,000 x 4.6% x 5% x 0.35)
= $ 4451
Therefore the Virginia bond will give an after tax higher return.

Work in process inventory was $14,500 at January 1 and $16,800 at December 31. Finished goods inventory was $69,500 at January 1 and $46,000 at December 31.Compute cost of goods manufactured.
Answer:
$347,400
Explanation:
Cost of goods manufactured = Material used in product + Labor costs of assembly line workers + Factory overheads (ie Depreciation on plant+ Property taxes on plant + Factory supplies used) + Opening WIP - Closing WIP
Cost of goods manufactured = $129,100 + $111,300 + $64,600 + $16,000 + $28,700 + $14,500 - $16,800
Cost of goods manufactured = $347,400
On September 30, 2012, Wildhorse Company issued 9% bonds with a par value of $580,000 due in 20 years. They were issued at 97 and were callable at 103 at any date after September 30, 2017. Because Wildhorse Company was able to obtain financing at lower rates, it decided to call the entire issue on September 30, 2018, and to issue new bonds. New 7% bonds were sold in the amount of $700,000 at 104; they mature in 20 years. Wildhorse Company uses straight-line amortization. Interest payment dates are March 31 and September 30.

To record the sale of 7% Bonds Payable at 104.
Explanation:
a) Dat and Calculations:
9% bonds payable at par value = $580,000
Issued at a discount of $17,400 ($580,000 * 97/100) - $580,000
Redeemed at a premium of $17,400 ($580,000 * 103/100) - $580,000
7% bonds payable at par value = $700,000
Issued at a premium of $28,000 ($700,000 * 104/100) - $700,000

Compute the 2019 Federal income tax liability and the marginal and effective tax rates in each of the following independent cases. Click here to access the 2019 tax rate schedule. If required, round the tax liability the nearest dollar. When required, round the average rates to four decimal places before converting to a percentage (i.e. .67073 would be rounded to .6707 and entered as 67.07%). a. Chandler is single and reports taxable income of $125,200.
Answer:
Tax liability = $24,222.50Marginal rate = 24%Average rate = 19.35%Explanation:
Question requires that we find the Tax liability, Marginal rate and Average rate.
Tax liability:
Chandler is in the $84,200 to $160,725 bracket.
= 14,382.50 + 24% * (125,200 - 84,200)
= 14,382.50 + 9,840
= $24,222.50
Marginal rate = 24%
Chandler's bracket is the 24% bracket.
Average rate:
= Tax/ Taxable income
= 24,222.50 / 125,200
= 19.35%
Suppose the government imposes a tax on cheese. The deadweight loss from this tax will likely be greater in the a. eighth year after it is imposed than in the first year after it is imposed because demand and supply will be less elastic in the first year than in the eighth year. b. first year after it is imposed than in the eighth year after it is imposed because demand and supply will be less elastic in the first year than in the eighth year. c. first year after it is imposed than in the eighth year after it is imposed because demand and supply will be more elastic in the first year than in the eighth year.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Deadweight loss of tax measures the decrease in demand as a result of an increase in tax
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Price elasticity of supply measures the responsiveness of quantity supplied to changes in price of the good.
Demand is less elastic in the short run because there is no enough time for consumers to find suitable and cheaper substitutes. As time goes on, demand becomes more elastic because consumers would have had enough time to find cheaper substitutes
Supply is also less elastic in the short time and more elastic in the long run

The smallest amount you must pay each month on a loan is called the A. annual percentage rate B. annual fee C. minimum finance charge D. minimum monthly payment SUBMIT
Answer: D. minimum monthly payment
Explanation:
The minimum monthly payment is the lowest that a person should pay per month on a loan, particularly that of a credit card, if they do not want to be ruled as being in default.
The advantage of this is that the person will still be in good standing with the creditor meaning that they have not defaulted (really bad for credit score). Disadvantage is that the loan interest will be higher as it is based on a larger balance than had the person paid more.
Swifty Corporation developed the following data for the current year: Beginning work in process inventory $270000 Direct materials used 164000 Actual overhead 308000 Overhead applied 236000 Cost of goods manufactured 284000 Total manufacturing costs 790000 Swifty Corporation's ending work in process inventory is
Answer:
Ending WIP= 776,000
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the cost of direct labor:
Total manufacturing costs= direct material + direct labor + applied overhead
790,000 = 164,000 + direct labor + 236,000
390,000 = direct labor
To calculate the ending work in process inventory, we need to use the following formula:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
284,000 = 270,000 + 164,000 + 390,000 + 236,000 - Ending WIP
-776,000 = -Ending WIP
Ending WIP= 776,000

Abbey Park was organized on April 1, 2016, by Trudy Crawford. Trudy is a good manager but a poor accountant. From the trial balance prepared by a part-time bookkeeper, Trudy prepared the following income statement for the quarter that ended March 31, 2017.
Abbay Park
Income statement
For the quarter ended March 31,2017
Revenues 83000
Rent Revenue
Operating expenses
Advertising expense 4200
Salaries and wages expense 27600
Utilities expense 1500
Depreciation expense 800
Maintenance expense 2800
Total operating expense 36900
Net income 46100
Trudy knew that something was wrong with the statement because net income had never exceeded $20,000 in any one quarter. Knowing that you are an experienced accountant, she asks you to review the income statement and other data. You first look at the trial balance. In addition to the account balances reported in the income statement, the ledger contains these selected balances at March 31, 2017.
Supplies 4500
Prepaid insurance 7200
Notes payable 20000
You then make inquiries and discover the following.
1. Rent revenue includes advanced rentals for summer-month occupancy, $21,000.
2. There were $600 of supplies on hand at March 31.
3. Prepaid insurance resulted from the payment of a 1-year policy on January 1, 2017.
4. The mail on April 1, 2017, brought the following bills: advertising for week of March 24, $110; repairs made March 10, $1,040; and utilities $240.
5. Wage expense totals $290 per day. At March 31, 3 days’ wages have been incurred but not paid.
6. The note payable is a 3-month, 7% note dated January 1, 2017. Instructions With the class divided into groups, answer the following.
(a) Prepare a correct income statement for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.
(b) Explain to Trudy the generally accepted accounting principles that she did not follow in preparing her income statement and their effect on her results.
Answer:
Abbey Park
a) Correct Income Statement for the quarter ended March 31, 2017:
Abbey Park
Income statement
For the quarter ended March 31,2017
Revenue
Rent Revenue $62,000
Operating expenses
Advertising expense 4,310

Maintenance expense 3,840
Supplies Expense 3,900
Insurance expense 1,800
Interest expense 350
Total operating expense 45,210
Net income $16,790
b) The generally accepted accounting principles that Trudy did not follow in the preparation of her income statement are the accrual concept and the matching principle. Failure to follow these principles means that the net income will be misstated. The accounts were based on the cash basis instead of the accrual basis of generally accepted accounting principles. This means that records for non-cash transactions were not recognized while some others were recognized based on their cash effects.
Explanation:
a) Income Statement for the quarter ended March 31, 2017:

2. Supplies Expenses $3,900 ($4,500 - 600)
Supplies balance = 600
3. Prepaid Insurance = $5,400 ($7,200 - 1,800)
Insurance expense = $1,800 ($7,200/4)
4. Advertising Expense = $4,310 ($4,200 + 110)
Maintenance Expense = $3,840 ($2,800 + 1,040)
Utilities Expense = $1,740 ($1,500 + 240)
Expenses Payable = $1,390
5. Wages Expenses = $28,470 (27,600 + ($290 * 3))
Wages payable $870
6. Interest Expense = $350 ($20,000 * 7% * 3/12)
The deans' suite hoped to cut costs and decided to perform a total cost analysis on its vodka supplier. Consumption was currently 6,000 bottles per semester and this was predicted to maintain that level for the next few years. Their current source, Byron's, charged $9.50 per bottle and packed 288 bottles in a crate. The cost to ship the crate was $15. Another potential source of vodkas was Pancho's, who charged $9.00 per bottle but could ship only 100 bottles in a crate and at a higher price, $20. Assume that a partial crate may be purchased. What is the total annual cost to supply vodka from their current supplier
Answer:
$55,200
Explanation:
Consumption = 6000 bottles
Cost per bottle = $9
Consumption Cost = 6000*$9 = $54,000
No of crates = 6000/100 = 60 crates
Cost pet crate = $20
Crate cost = $1,200
Total annual cost = Consumption Cost + Crate cost
Total annual cost = $54,000 + $1,200
Total annual cost = $55,200
So, the total annual cost to supply vodka from their current supplier is $55,200
The total annual cost to supply vodka from their current supplier is $55,200.
Total annual costConsumption Cost:
Consumption Cost = 6000×$9
Consumption Cost = $54,000
Number of crates:
Number of crates = 6000/100

M. K. Gallant is president of Kranbrack Corporation, a company whose stock is traded on a national exchange. In a meeting with investment analysts at the beginning of the year, Gallant had predicted that the company’s earnings would grow by 20% this year. Unfortunately, sales have been less than expected for the year, and Gallant concluded within two weeks of the end of the fiscal year that it would be impossible to report an increase in earnings as large as predicted unless some drastic action was taken. Accordingly, Gallant has ordered that wherever possible, expenditures should be postponed to the new year—including canceling or postponing orders with suppliers, delaying planned maintenance and training, and cutting back on end-of-year advertising and travel. Additionally, Gallant ordered the company’s controller to carefully scrutinize all costs that are currently classified as period costs and reclassify as many as possible as product costs. The company is expected to have substantial inventories at the end of the year.
1. Why would reclassifying period costs as product costs increase this period’s reported earnings?
2. Do you believe Gallant’s actions are ethical? Why or why not?

Based on Jacobs (1954). The Carter Caterer Company must have the following number of clean napkins available at the beginning of each of the next four days: day 1, 1500; day 2, 1200; day 3, 1800; day 4, 600. After being used, a napkin can be cleaned by one of two methods: fast service or slow service. Fast service costs 50 cents per napkin, and a napkin cleaned via fast service is available for use the day after it is last used. Slow service costs 30 cents per napkin, and these napkins can be reused two days after they are last used. New napkins can be purchased for a cost of 95 cents per napkin. Determine how to minimize the cost of meeting the demand for napkins during the next four days. (Note: There are at least two possible modeling approaches, one network and one nonnetwork. See if you can model it each way.)
