Explanation:
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.

Last year Kruse Corp had $410,000 of assets (which is equal to its total invested capital), $403,000 of sales, $28,250 of net income, and a debt-to-total-capital ratio of 39%. The new CFO believes the firm has excessive fixed assets and inventory that could be sold, enabling it to reduce its total assets and total invested capital to $252,500. The firm finances using only debt and common equity. Sales, costs, and net income would not be affected, and the firm would maintain the same capital structure (but with less total debt). By how much would the reduction in assets improve the ROE? Do not round your intermediate calculations. Question 2 options: 7.05% 6.69% 6.41% 7.26% 7.82%
Answer:
a. 7.05%
Explanation:
ROE before reduction in assets:
Total assets = $410,000
Debt to total capital ratio = 39%
Equity to total capital ratio = 1 - 39% = 61%
Equity = 410000 * 61% = $250,100
Net Income = $28,250
ROE = Net Income / Equity = 28250 / 250100 = 11.2955%
After reduction in assets:
Total assets = $252,500
Net Income is not affected and is same at = $28,250
Capital structure is same.
New Equity = 252500 * 61% = $154,025
New ROE = 28250 / 154025 = 18.3412%
Improvement in ROE = 18.3412% - 11.2955%
Improvement in ROE = 7.05%
The Coyote Watershed has two large reservoirs built and operating on-stream to capture storm runoff in the upper watershed. They are named Coyote and Anderson Reservoirs. The capacities of these two reservoirs are 23,244 ac-ft and 90,373 ac-ft, respectively. Coyote Reservoir is approximately five miles upstream from the high water line of Anderson Reservoir and is regulated by releasing water downstream into Anderson Reservoir.
In January, 2017, storms added considerable volume of water to this set of reservoirs, approximately 20,000 ac-ft of runoff were captured. Assuming the upper watershed is 200 square miles and is saturated (100% runoff), calculate the total inches of rain needed to add this amount of runoff to yield this net increase in the two reservoirs combined. Hint: 1 sq. mi. = 640 acres 1 acre-ft= 12 acre inches
Answer:
The answer is "1.875 in of rain"
Explanation:
The reservoir size is negligible. It's just a problem how often rain is required for 20000 acre-feet across an area of 200 square miles.
Calculating the area in acre:
[tex]= 200 \ mi^{2} \times 640 \frac{acre}{mi^2}\\\\= 128,000 \ acres[/tex]
calculating the value of the rainfall in feet:
[tex]= \frac{20,000 \ acre\-feet}{128,000 \ acres}\\\\= 0.15625 \ ft[/tex]
calculating the value of Rainfall in inches:
[tex]= 0.15625 \ ft \times 12 \frac{in}{ft}\\\\= 1.875 \ \text{in of rain}[/tex]

If 41,920 pounds of raw materials are required for production in September, then the budgeted raw material purchases for August is closest to:__________
A. 57,056 pounds
B. 44,480 pounds
C. 43,712 pounds
D. 70,400 pounds
If 41,920 pounds of raw materials are required for production in September, then the budgeted cost of raw material purchases for August is closest to:__________
A. $57,056
B. $43,712
C. $44,480
D. $70,400
The estimated direct labor cost for August is closest to:____________
A. $465,000
B. $684,992
C. $31,136
D. $244,640
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Production Unit For August
= 11300 + (10400 × 20%) - (11300 × 20%)
= 11120 Units
Now Raw material purchase is
= (11120 × 4) + (41920 × 30%) - (11120 × 4*30%)
= 43712 Pounds
Raw material purchase Cost is
= 43712 × 1
= $43,712
The Direct labor cost is
= 11120 × 2.8 × 22
= $684,992
Mirabile Corporation uses activity-based costing to compute product margins. Overhead costs have already been allocated to the company's three activity cost pools--Processing, Supervising, and Other. The costs in those activity cost pools appear below:
Processing $ 5,945
Supervising $ 19,680
Other $ 11,300
Processing costs are assigned to products using machine-hours (MHs) and Supervising costs are assigned to products using the number of batches. The costs in the Other activity cost pool are not assigned to products. Activity data appear below:
MHs (Processing) Batches (Supervising)
Product M0 13,700 400
Product M5 800 400
Total 14,500 800
Finally, sales and direct cost data are combined with Processing and Supervising costs to determine product margins.
Product M0 Product M5
Sales (total) $ 81,800 $ 94,400
Direct materials (total)$ 29,400 $ 32,300
Direct labor (total) $ 28,700 $ 42,600
What is the product margin for Product M5 under activity-based costing?
Answer:
Product margin= $9,332
Explanation:
First, we need to allocate the activity cost to product M5:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Processing= 5,945/14,500= $0.41 per machine hour
Supervising= 19,680/800= $24.6 per batch
Product M5:
Processing= 0.41*800= $328
Supervising= 24.6*400= $9,840
Finally, the total cost and the product margin:
Total cost= 32,300 + 42,600 + (328 + 9,840)
Total cost= $85,068
Product margin= 94,400 - 85,068
Product margin= $9,332
The bonds in our model have a maturity close to zero; they just pay the current interest rate, i, as a flow over time. We could consider, instead, a discount bond, such as a U.S. Treasury Bill. This type of asset has no explicit interest payments (called coupons) but pays a principal of, say, $1000 at a fixed date in the future. A Bill with one- year maturity pays off one year from the issue date, and similarly for 3-month or 6-month Bills. Let PB be the price of a discount bond with one-year maturity and principal of $1000. a. Is PB greater than or less than $1000.
a. Is P^B greater than or less than $1000?
b. What is the one-year interest rate on these discount bonds?
c. If prises, what happens to the interest rate on these bonds?
d. Suppose that, instead of paying $1000 in one year, the bond pays $1000 in two years. What is the interest rate per year on this two-year discount bond?
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Part a.
[tex]P^{B}[/tex] will be less than $1000.
Reason: [tex]P^{B}[/tex] + interest = $1000, since interest >0 (Cannot be negative)
Hence,
[tex]P^{B}[/tex] < $1000
Part b.
Assuming the amount of interest to be i, [tex]P^{B}[/tex] would be $1000 - I
Rate of interest would be:
($1000 - ($1000-i)) / ($1000 - i) = i / ($1000 - i)
Rate of interest = i / ($1000 - i)
Part c.
If [tex]P^{B}[/tex] rises, the interest rate on these bonds would come down. Going back to a. [tex]P^{B}[/tex] = $1000 - i, and if [tex]P^{B}[/tex] rises, it implies that i reduces, which means that rate of interest will be reduced.
Part d.
If $1000 is a payment two years later, it implies that i (refer to b.) is the interest for two years. Assuming annual compounding, let's calculate rate of interest as follows:
Interest for two year (i) = $1000 - [tex]P^{B}[/tex] at the rate of i per year
= [tex]P^{B}[/tex] X i / 100 + ([tex]P^{B}[/tex] X (1+i/100))X i/100
We can solve for i to get annual rate of interest.

Skysong, Inc. compiled the following financial information as of December 31, 2022:
Service revenue $827000
Common stock 181000
Equipment 232000
Operating expenses 748000
Cash 202000
Dividends 64000
Supplies 38000
Accounts payable 113000
Accounts receivable 95000
Retained earnings, 1/1/22 444000
Skysong's retained earnings on December 31, 2022 are:_________
Answer:
$459,000
Explanation:
The computation of the ending retained earning balance is shown below:
Ending retained earning balance is
= Opening retained earning balance + net income - dividend
where
Net income
= Service revenue - operating expenses
= $827,000 - $748,000
= $79,000
Now the ending retained earnings balance is
= $444,000 + $79,000 - $64,000
= $459,000
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
A 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
Stephen is a new insurance agent with an established company.He is nervous at the idea of making cold calls on the telephone to prospective clients.After thinking through the problem,Stephen decides to ask his supervisor if he can host a small introductory meeting,inviting local business in for coffee and cake to introduce himself.Stephen is exhibiting a high level of hope.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
It is correct to say that Stephen is exhibiting a high level of hope because he had the idea of organizing a small introductory meeting in order to introduce himself to local companies and thus break the initial nervousness that could occur if he did not previously know his potential client. With this introductory meeting for greater integration between him, who is the new insurance agent and the companies that are his potential clients, there may be greater interaction, greater possibility of closing deals and greater customer satisfaction, lessening insecurity, etc.

On January 1, 2016, Piper Co., purchased a machine (its only depreciable asset) for $900,000. The machine has a five-year life, and no salvage value. Sum-of-the-years'-digits depreciation has been used for financial statement reporting and the elective straight-line method for income tax reporting. Effective January 1, 2019, for financial statement reporting, Piper decided to change to the straight-line method for depreciation of the machine. Assume that Piper can justify the change. Piper's income before depreciation, before income taxes, and before the cumulative effect of the accounting change (if any), for the year ended December 31, 2019, is $750,000. The income tax rate for 2019, as well as for the years 2016-2018, is 30%. What amount should Piper report as net income for the year ended December 31, 2019
Answer:
$462,000
Explanation:
Computing the Sum-of-the-years'-digits depreciation
Accumulated Depreciation till 2018 = $900,000*(5+4+3)/15
Accumulated Depreciation till 2018 = $900,000*12/15
Accumulated Depreciation till 2018 = $720,000
Book Value at beginning 2019 = $900,000 - $720,000 = $180,000
Depreciation Expense in 2019 = $180,000/2 = $90,000
Net Income before depreciation & taxes = $750,000
Depreciation = $90,000
EBT = Net Income before depreciation & taxes - Depreciation = $750,000 - $90,000 = $660,000
Tax Expenses = EBT * Tax rate = $660,000*30% = $198,000
Net Income = EBT - Tax Expenses
Net Income = $660,000 - $198,000
Net Income = $462,000
So therefore, Piper should report $462,000 as net income for the year ended December 31, 2019

Required information Skip to question [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Victory Company uses weighted-average process costing to account for its production costs. Conversion cost is added evenly throughout the process. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the first process. During November, the first process transferred 780,000 units of product to the second process. Additional information for the first process follows. At the end of November, work in process inventory consists of 185,000 units that are 50% complete with respect to conversion. Beginning work in process inventory had $188,175 of direct materials and $196,313 of conversion cost. The direct material cost added in November is $1,259,325, and the conversion cost added is $3,729,937. Beginning work in process consisted of 76,000 units that were 100% complete with respect to direct materials and 80% complete with respect to conversion. Of the units completed, 76,000 were from beginning work in process and 704,000 units were started and completed during the period. Required: For the first process: 1. Determine the equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials and conversion.
Answer:
Direct materials = 965,000 units Conversion = 872,500 units
Explanation:
a. Direct materials
Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process so ending EUP is 100% in respect to EUP.
EUP Direct materials = Finished goods + Closing EUP
= 780,000 + 185,000
= 965,000 units
b. Conversion
= Finished goods + Closing EUP
= 780,000 + (0.50 * 185,000)
= 780,000 + 92,500
= 872,500 units
The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development was originally founded with the purpose of:_________
Answer:
Explanation:
This banks original purpose for being founded was to provide money and help pay for the reconstruction of European nations that suffered great losses during the second World War.

Jim recently joined the Austin Barter Club, an organization that facilitates the exchange of services between its members. This year Jim provided lawn-mowing services to other club members. Jim received the following from the barter club. Determine the amount, if any, Jim should include in his gross income in each of the following situations: (Leave no answers blank. Enter zero if applicable.)
a. Jim received $275 of car repair services from another member of the club.
b. Jim received a S150 credit that gave him the option of receiving a season pass at a local ski resort from another member of the club. However, he forgot to request the pass by the end of the ski season and his credit expired.
c. Jim received a S450 credit that can only be applied for goods or services from club members next year.
Solution :
a). In the context, Jim received $ 275 for the car repairing services form some member from the club. In this exchange of the services, an income is been received in amount of a value of the services received ( the gross income includes receipt of the services and also the money and goods). Therefore, Jim is being taxed on an amount of $275 for the car repair services.
b). The issue in this case is whether a "credit" represents the valuable right. As the right can be redeemed for the that is property worth of $150, then under the constructive receipt, Jim must recognize an income of $150.
c). Jim received an credit of $450 to be applied for the next year. If the credit can be redeemed or used for any future services, the taxpayer then can argue that the realization has not yet occurred. But, it has be included in Jim's gross income for the next year when his credit amount becomes the valuable right.
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

A product priced at $5 has annual sales of 1,000 units. When price is reduced to $4, quantity increases to 1,250 units. Other things unchanged, the price elasticity of demand for the product is:
Answer:
Unitary
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand is demand is defined as a measure of how sensitive quantity of a product demanded is sensitive to changes in price.
Usually an increase in price results in a reduction in quantity demanded, and reduction in price results in an increase in quantity demanded.
Using the midpoint method of calculating price elasticity
Price elasticity = (change in quantity demanded) ÷ (change in price)
Change in quantity demanded = (1000-1250)/(100+1250)/2
Change in quantity demanded = -0.2222
Change in price = (5-4) / (5+4)/2
Change in price = 0.2222
Price elasticity = -0.2222 ÷ 0.2222 = -1
Therefore price elasticity is unitary.
Unitary elasticity means that a a percentage change in price results in equal percentage change in quantity demanded
