Suppose the economy was experiencing a negative real shock and high unemployment and high inflation at the same time. Furthermore suppose the Federal Reserve decided to address the problem by decreasing the money supply money. Assuming the policy is effective what can we expect to occur as a result (in the short run)
Answer: b. We should expect less inflation but more unemployment
Explanation:
A high supply of money leads to higher inflation. This is because the citizens will have more money to spend on goods and services and so will demand more of them. As a result, the increased demand pulls prices upward. Reducing the money supply therefore will have the effect of reducing the amount of money that people have on hand. This will reduce their demand for goods and services which will then see their prices decrease as a result.
High money supply in the market however means that loans are easier to get because there is more money to give. This means that companies can embark on more projects. With a lower money supply, companies as well as individuals will reduce their borrowing. This will mean less capital projects which create employment. Lowering the money supply will therefore lead to higher unemployment.
Incremental costs are the additional costs incurred if a company pursues a certain course of action. true or false
Answer:
The correct answer is the first option: True.
Explanation:
To begin with, the term of "Incremental Costs" is understood as the costs that are added to the total manufactured costs during the production when the company decides to produce one more unit and that action will cause that the whole costs increase a bit more and the complete sum of all the new costs that were aggregate due to that decision make are called incremental costs because as they name indicates, they increment the costs of production of the goods.
Bee Inc. is working on its cash budget for March. The budgeted beginning cash balance is $55,000. Budgeted cash receipts total $139,000 and budgeted cash disbursements total $134,000. The desired ending cash balance is $80,000. To attain its desired ending cash balance for March, the company needs to borrow:
Answer:
$20,000
Explanation:
The computation of the borrowed amount is shown below:
As we know that
Ending cash balance = beginning cash balance + cash receipts - cash disbursements + cash borrowings
$80,000 = $55,000 + $139,000 - $134,000 +cash borrowings
$80,000 = $194,000 - $134,000 + cash borrowings
So, the borrowing is $20,000
Foyle Corp. prepared the following reconciliation of income per books with income per tax return for the year ended December 31, 2008: Book income before income taxes $1,200,000 Add temporary difference Construction contract revenue which will reverse in 2009 160,000 Deduct temporary difference Depreciation expense which will reverse in equal amounts in each of the next four years (640,000) Taxable income $720,000 Foyle's effective income tax rate is 34% for 2008. What amount should Foyle report in its 2008 income statement as the current provision for income taxes
Answer:
$244,800
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount that Foyle should report in its 2008 income statement as the current provision for income taxes
Using this formula
Amount to reported =Taxable income*Effective income tax rate
Let plug in the formula
Amount to be reported=($720,000 × 34%)
Amount to be reported = $244,800
Therefore the amount that Foyle should report in its 2008 income statement as the current provision for income taxes should be $244,800
Preston Inc.'s stock has a 25% chance of producing a 30% return, a 50% chance of producing a 12% return, and a 25% chance of producing a -18% return. What is the firm's expected rate of return
Answer:
Expected return = 9%
Explanation:
A portfolio is a collection of assets/ investment. The expected return on the stock would be the weighted average of all the return of the possible return weighted according to their probability.
Expected return on portfolio:
E(R) =( Wa*Ra) + (Wb*Rb) + (Wc*Rc)
R- possible return,W- probability
E(R) = (30%× 0.25) + (12%× 0.5) + (-18%× 0.25) = 9 %
Expected return = 9%
Note that the negative sign in the last possible return implies a loss.

You are considering the purchase of a small income-producing property for $150000 that is expected to produce the following net cash flows
End of year cash flow
1 $50000
2 $50000
3 $50000
4 $50000
Answer : a) $5122.28 (b) 12.59% (c) You should make the investment
Explanation:
Internal rate of return = 11 %
initial cash flows = $150000
period = 4 years
Find the NPV (net present value )( using present value tables)
= preset value of cash flows - initial cash flows
= ∑ present cash flows for 4 years - $150000
= $155122.28 - $150000 = $5122.28
The going-in internal rate of return on investment
N (number of years ) = 4
pv ( present value ) = $150000
PMT = -$50000
Fv ( future value ) = 0
IRR = 12.59% ( making use of the cash flow list in our financial calculator )
With an increase in product advertising of $50 million you expect to increase sales by 10,000 units. If unit grow margin is $4,800, will the additional advertising increase product contribution?
Answer:
Income will decrease by $2,000,000.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Advertising increase= $50,000,000
Units increase= 10,000 units
Unit contribution margin= $4,800
To calculate the total effect on income, we need to use the following formula:
Effect on income= total contribution margin - increase in fixed costs
Effect on income= 10,000*4,800 - 50,000,000
Effect on income= $2,000,000 decrease
Income will decrease by $2,000,000.
Pendleton Company, a merchandising company, is developing its master budget for 2015. The income statement for 2014 is as follows:

Prepare a budgeted functional income statement for 2015.
Answer:
Budgeted functional income statement for 2015
Gross sales ($2,000,000 × 1.04 × 1.06) $2,204,800
Less: Estimated uncollectible accounts ($2,204,800 × 2 %) ($44,096)
Net sales $2,160,704
Cost of goods sold (1,100,000 × 1.03) ($1,133,000)
Gross profit $1,027,704
Operating expenses (475,000 × 1.10) ($522,500)
Depreciation ($25,000)
Net income $480,204
Explanation:
Make the adjustments stated on the 2014 Income Statement.
For Operating Expenses, it is wise to first remove the depreciation expense and apply the increment of 10% to reflect Operating Costs for 2015.
Treat Depreciation Expense separately and at the same amount as for 2014, since depreciation is calculated on straight line method.
Arbitration may be used when: A. The parties submit to it. B. The contract calls for it instead of litigation. C. When a statute requires it. D. All of the above.
Answer:
D. All of the above.
Explanation:
Arbitration refers to a process where a legal dispute is solved by using an impartial third party called the arbitrator (or arbitrators) that acts like a judge that will decide which party is correct. Since the arbitration process is generally voluntary, all the parties involve must agree to follow and respect the arbitrator's decision.
In order for an arbitration process to take place, the contract between the parties must include the arbitration clause and all the parties involved must have agreed to it by signing the contract. Rarely, arbitration can be mandatory because certain legal statues require it.
Teller Co. is planning to sell 900 boxes of ceramic tile, with production estimated at 870 boxes during May. Each box of tile requires 44 pounds of clay mix and a quarter hour of direct labor. Clay mix costs $0.40 per pound and employees of the company are paid $12.00 per hour. Manufacturing overhead is applied at a rate of 110% of direct labor costs. Teller has 3,900 pounds of clay mix in beginning inventory and wants to have 4,500 pounds in ending inventory.
Required:
What is the total amount to be budgeted for manufacturing overhead for the month?
Answer:
Budgeted overhead= $2,877.6
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct labor required:
Production= 870 units
Direct labor hours= 870*0.25= 218 hours
Direct labor cost= $12 an hour
Manufacturing overhead is applied at a rate of 110% of direct labor costs.
To calculate the allocated overhead for the period, we need to use the following formula:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Direct labor cost= 218*12= $2,616
Allocated MOH= 1.1*2,616= $2,877.6
g Aggregate demand A. increases if the expected inflation rate increases. B. increases if aggregate supply increases. C. increases if the exchange rate rises. D. decreases if expected future income rises. E. increases if government expenditures decrease.
Answer:
A. increases if the expected inflation rate increases.
Explanation:
if it is expected that inflation would increase, consumers would want to buy goods at a cheaper rate, thus, they would increase demand now and a result aggregate demand would rise.
for example, if the price of bread is $10 dollars now and it is expected that price would increase to $12 next month. the demand for bread would increase now
The Botosan Factory has determined that its budgeted factory overhead budget for the year is $601,880 and budgeted direct labor hours are 367,000. If the actual direct labor hours for the period are 334,000, how much overhead would be allocated to the period
Answer:
Allocated MOH= $541,200
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated overhead= $601,880
Budgeted direct labor hours= 367,000
The actual direct labor hours for the period are 334,000
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 601,880/367,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.64 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 1.64*334,000
Allocated MOH= $541,200
Based on the HEADLINE article titled "Inflation and the Weimar Republic," which of the following is the best illustration of the wealth effect of inflation?

b. Debtors sought out creditors to pay them in valueless currency.
c. Profits fell as employees demanded frequent wage adjustments.
d. Businessmen traveling around the country found themselves borrowing funds from their customers each stage of the way. The cash they'd allocated for the entire trip barely sufficed to pay the way to the next stop."
Answer: Businessmen traveling around the country found themselves borrowing funds from their customers each stage of the way. The cash they'd allocated for the entire trip barely sufficed to pay the way to the next stop."
Explanation:
Inflation is when there is a general increase in the prices of goods and services on the economy.
The best illustration of the wealth effect of inflation based on the article titled "Inflation and the Weimar Republic," is that businessmen traveling around the country found themselves borrowing funds from their customers each stage of the way. The cash they'd allocated for the entire trip barely sufficed to pay the way to the next stop."
This is because when there is inflation, theee will be rise in price and hence, the money the businessmen wanted to use won't be enough to get meet their needs hence they'll need more funds.
A product sells for $240 per unit, and its variable costs are 70% of sales. The fixed costs are $318,000. What is the break-even point in sales dollars?
Answer:
The Break-Even Point in Sales Dollars will be $1,060,000
Explanation:
Contribution Margin Ratio = 100% - Variable Cost Ratio
= 100% - 70%
= 30%
Therefore, the Break-Even Point in Sales Dollars = Total Fixed Costs / Contribution Margin Ratio
= $318,000 / 0.30
= $1,060,000
The Break-Even Point in Sales Dollars will be $1,060,000
Jervis sells $3,900 of its accounts receivable to Northern Bank in order to obtain necessary cash. Northern Bank charges a 3% factoring fee. What entry should Jervis make to record the transaction
Answer:
Dr cash $3783
Dr factoring fee expense $177
Cr accounts receivable $3900
Explanation:
The cash proceeds from the factoring arrangement would be 97% of the value of the receivables since 3% is the factoring fees expenses to be incurred.
Cash proceeds=$3900*97%=$ 3,783.00
Factoring fees expense=$3,900.00-$3,783.00=$117
Cash account and factoring fees expense would be debited with $3783 and $117 respectively, while accounts receivable is credited with $3900
Use the following information for Jett Co. to answer the following question: 2015 2014 Sales 1,200 1,000 COGS 850 700 Operating Expenses 200 200 Income Taxes 30 35 Jett Co.'s average tax rates for 2015 and 2014 are: A. 15.5% and 10.0% B. 20.0% and 35.0% C. 25.8% and 35.4%. D. 31.4% and 36.8%.
Answer:
B. 20.0% and 35.0%
Explanation:
Jett Co.'s Average tax rates for 2015 = Income taxes paid / Taxable income
When, Taxable Income = Sales - Cost of goods sold - Operating expenses
= $1,200 - $850 - $200
= $150
Hence, Jett Co.'s Average tax rates for 2015 = $30 / $150
= 20%
Jett Co.'s Average tax rates for 2014 = Income taxes paid / Taxable income
When Taxable Income = Sales - Cost of goods sold - Operating expenses
= $1,000 - $700 - $200
= $100
Hence, Jett Co.'s Average tax rates for 2014 = $35 / $100
= 35%

a. $28.88 per DLH
b. $48.81 per DLH
c. $53.94 per DLH
d. $431.44 per DLH
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $28.88 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Labor-related DLHs $335,018 11,600
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 335,018/11,600
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $28.88 per direct labor hour
The activity rate for the Labor-Related activity cost pool is option A. a. $28.88 per DLH
Calculation of the active rate:We know that
Activity Rate for Labor - Related Activity Cost Pool = Estimated Cost / Expected Activity
= $ 335,018 / 11,600 DLHs
= $ 28.88 per DLH
Hence the option a is correct.
And, the rest of the options are wrong.

Analyze Cityscape Hotels Cityscape Hotels has 200 rooms available in a major metropolitan city. The hotel is able to attract business customers during the weekdays and leisure customers during the weekend. However, the leisure customers on weekends occupy fewer rooms than do business customers on weekdays. Thus, Cityscape plans to provide special weekend pricing to attract additional leisure customers. A hotel room is priced at $180 per room night. The cost of a hotel room night includes the following: Cost Per Room Night (at normal occupancy) Housekeeping service $23 Utilities 7 Amenities 3 Hotel depreciation 55 Hotel staff (excluding housekeeping) 42 Total $130 The special weekend price is proposed for $120 per room night. At this price, it is anticipated that average occupancy for the weekend (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) will increase from 30% to 50% of available rooms. a. What is the contribution margin for a room night under the normal pricing if only the hotel depreciation and hotel staff (excluding housekeeping) are assumed fixed for all occupancy levels
Answer:
$147
Explanation:
For the computation of contribution margin for a room night first we need to find out the variable cost per night which is shown below:-
Variable cost per room night = Housekeeping service + Utilities + Amenities
= $23 + $7 + $3
= $33 per room night
Contribution per room night under normal pricing = Normal price per room night - Variable cost per room night
= $180 - $33
= $147 per room night
Therefore for computing the contribution margin for a room night we simply applied the above formula.

The overhead costs for a company are presently $X per month. The management team of the company in cooperation with the employees is ready to implement a comprehensive improvement program to reduce these costs. If you (a) consider an observation of actual overhead costs for one month analogous to an output unit, (b) estimate the overhead costs for the first month of program implementation to be 1.15X due to extra front-end effort, and (c) consider a 90% improvement curve applicable to the situation, what is your estimate of the percentage reduction in present overhead costs per month after 30 months of program implementation
Answer:
31.42%
Explanation:
The computation of the estimate of the percentage reduction in present overhead costs per month is shown below:-
n = log s ÷ log2
= log 0.90 ÷ log 2
= -0.152
Now we will use the learning curve equation which is here below:
Z30 = 1.15X × 30^(-0.152)
= 0.685765148
So, the cost is reduced by
= 1 - 0.685765148
= 0.314234852
or
= 31.42%
