If growers of tomatoes experience a good season, it means that there will be more tomatoes to harvest. This will increase the supply of tomatoes.
c. New medical evidence reports that consumption of organic products reduces the incidence of cancer. - Supply Increase.
Supply of organic products will increase as a result of an anticipated and an actual increase in the demand for organic products as more people will buy them to avoid getting cancer.
d. The wages of low-skill workers, a resource used to help produce clothing, increase. - Supply Decrease
When inputs into the production process increase, producers will tend to cut down production to enable them save cost and maintain profitability. If the wages of low-skill workers increase, it will mean that an input is now more expensive so production of clothing will reduce thereby reducing its supply.
A firm only has current assets and fixed assets. Its current assets are $100,000 and total assets are $300,000. The firm's sales are $900,000. The firm's fixed asset turnover is
Answer:
Firm's fixed asset turnover = 4.5
Explanation:
Given:
Current assets = $100,000
Total assets = $300,000
Firm's sales = $900,000
Find:
Firm's fixed asset turnover
Computation:
Fixed assets = Total assets - Current assets
Fixed assets = $300,000 - $100,000
Fixed assets = $200,000
Fixed asset turnover = Sales / Fixed asset
Firm's fixed asset turnover = $900,000 / $200,000
Firm's fixed asset turnover = 4.5
Lincoln Park Co. has a bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 5.66 percent and semiannual payments. The yield to maturity is 6.3 percent and the bond matures in 16 years. What is the market price if the bond has a par value of $2,000?
Answer:
Market price of Bond = $1872.135629 rounded off to $1872.14
Explanation:
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to first calculate the coupon payment per period. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,
Coupon Payment (C) = 2000 * 0.0566 * 1/2 = $56.6
Total periods (n)= 16 * 2 = 32
r = 6.3% * 1/2 = 3.15% or 0.0315
The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.
Bond Price = 56.6 * [( 1 - (1+0.0315)^-32) / 0.0315] + 2000 / (1+0.0315)^32
Bond Price = $1872.135629 rounded off to $1872.14

Units Unit Cost Total Cost April 1 inventory330$22$ 7,260 April 15 purchase380269,880 April 23 purchase 290 29 8,410 1,000 $25,550 Compute the April 30 inventory and the April cost of goods sold using the FIFO method. Ending inventory $ Cost of goods sold
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Units sold= 450 units
Units Unit Cost Total Cost
April 1 inventory= 330 units at $22
April 15 purchase= 380 units art $26
April 23 purchase= 290 units at $29
To calculate the ending inventory, first, we need to determine the number of units in ending inventory:
Ending inventory in units= 330 + 380 + 290 - 450= 550 units
Ending inventory FIFO= 290*29 + 260*26= $15,170
COGS= 330*22 + 120*26= $10,380
The graphical probability distribution of ROE for a firm that uses financial leverage would tend to be more peaked than the distribution if the firm used no leverage, other things held constant.
A. True
B. False
Answer: False
Explanation:
The return on equity is used to know how profitable a business is when it's being compared to its equity.
The sentence in the question that the graphical probability distribution of ROE for a firm that uses financial leverage would tend to be more peaked than the distribution if the firm used no leverage, other things held constant is false.
The statement is not true because in such scenario, the graphical probability distribution will be less peaked than the distribution.
Jack and Jill need to save $6100 toward a new car. How long will it take them if they save $200 a month earning interest at 4.7% per year
Answer:
2 years 5 months.
Explanation:
Use the Time Value of Money techniques to find n (period it takes to save for required amount)
Using a financial calculator enter the following data
Fv = $6,100
Pmt = - $ 200 × 12 = - $2,400
P/y = 1
r = 4.7 %
Pv = 0
n = 2.4569
Thus it takes 2 years 5 months to save $6100 toward a new car under the given circumstances.

On November 1, Jasper Company loaned another company $100,000 at a 6.0% interest rate. The note receivable plus interest will not be collected until March 1 of the following year. The company's annual accounting period ends on December 31. The amount of interest revenue that should be reported in the first year is:
Answer:
The amount of interest revenue that should be reported in the first year is $1,000
Explanation:
As we know Note receivable is a type of investment on which the Noteholder receives te interest over the note amount.
Value of Note = $100,000
Rate = 6%
until 31 December only two months has been passed and the interest revenue of only 2 months will be recognized as follow
Interst Revenue = $100,000 x 6% x 2/12 = $1,000
So the interest revenue of $1,000 should be reported in the first year.
Danube Corp. purchased a used machine for $21,000. The machine required installation costs of $6000 and insurance while in transit of $1800. At which of the following amounts would the machine be recorded?
A. $28,800
B. $21,000
C. $27,000
D. $22,800
Answer:
$28,800
Explanation:
Danube corporation bought a new machine for $21,000
The machine required $6,000 as installation costs
$1,800 was paid as insurance while in transit
Therefore, the amount at which the machine would be recorded can be calculated as follows
= $21,000+$6,000+$1,800
= $28,800
Hence the machine would be recorded at $28,800
During the last five years, average daily occupancy at Autumn Acres nursing home has slid from 125 to 95 even though Autumn Acres has cut its daily rate from $125 to $115. Do these data suggest that occupancy would have been higher if Autumn Acres had raised its rates? What changes in nonprice demand factors might explain this change? (The supply, or the number of nursing home beds in the area, has not changed during this period.)
Answer:
no
Decline in the number of aged people in the population
The quality of care offered might have declined
Preference to be cared for at home instead of at care home
increase in death rate among the elderly
Explanation:
Even though, there seem to be a positive correlation between the price of daily rates and occupancy. it doesn't imply that increasing the rates would increase occupancy rates. there might be other factors explaining the decline.
some of these factors include :
1. decline in the number of the aged in the population : if the proportion of the aged in the population has reduced, the nursing home would experience a decline in residents
2. if the quality of care received by patients has also reduced, the aged might prefer other nursing homes.
3. there might be a shift in reference. the aged might prefer to be cared for at home by family and friends instead of staying in a nursing home.
Increase in death rate among the elderly : if there is an increase in mortality rate, the care home would experience a decline in occupancy
Which of the following is not considered to be a liability? Answers: a. Wages Payable b. Unearned Revenues c. Accounts Payable d. Accounts Receivable
Answer:
d. Accounts Receivable.

Richman Company purchased $900,000 of 8%, 5-year bonds from Carlin, Inc. on January 1, 2022, with interest payable on July 1 and January 1. The bonds sold for $937,422 at an effective interest rate of 7%. Using the effective interest method, Richman Company decreased the Available-for-Sale Debt Securities account for the Carlin, Inc. bonds on July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022 by the amortized premiums of $3,186 and $3,294, respectively. At December 31, 2022, the fair value of the Carlin, Inc. bonds was $954,000. What should Richman Company report as other comprehensive income in the 2022 Comprehensive Income Statement
Answer:
$23,058
Explanation:
For calculation of Other comprehensive income first we will find out the total amortized premiums which is shown below:-
Total amortized premiums = 3,186 + 3,294
= $6,480
Other comprehensive income = Fair value on December 31, 2022 - (Selling price of bonds - Total amortized premiums)
= $954,000 - ($937,422 - $6,480)
= $954,000 - $930,942
= $23,058
We simply applied the above formula.

ent "Flounder" Dorfman is a full-time student at Faber College. He is a senior and a member of Delta Tau Chai fraternity. The Deltas awarded Kent a $35,000 scholarship called "The Dean Wormer Double Secret Probation Memorial Scholarship". Kent pays the following amounts, out of his scholarship, to attend Faber College: Tuition - $26,000; Required lab fees - $300; Required books and supplies - $1,000; Room and board - $7,500. Part 1 of 6: Does the $26,000 of the scholarship that was paid for tuition have to be included in Flounder's taxable income for federal income tax purposes?
Answer:
Kent "Flounder" Dorfman
Scholarship from Delta Tau Chair Fraternity
The $26,000 will not be included in Flounder's taxable income for federal income tax purposes. It is a qualified scholarship expense. It is only the portion of $7,500 used for Room and board that is not a qualified scholarship expense.
Though it is required that the $35,000 be disclosed in form 1040. Qualified expenses like tuition, required lab fee, required books and supplies are tax-exempt, while Room and board and other non-required expenses are not qualified and therefore taxable.
Explanation:
S117(b)(2) of the IRS Code states the expenses that are qualified and tax-exempt if they are tuition-related.
When a qualified student, usually above 18 years and enrolled in post-secondary educational institution, receives a scholarship, the amount she uses to pay for tuition and other required expenses, which are generally payable by other students, are regarded as qualified expenses. Since they are qualified, they are also tax-exempt, meaning that taxes will not be paid on them, instead they will be deducted for tax purposes from the student's income. In the case of Kent, the tuition fee is not included in her taxable income for federal income tax purposes.

Zoom Enterprises expects that one year from now it will pay a total dividend of $5.2 million and repurchase $5.2 million worth of shares. It plans to spend $10.4 million on dividends and repurchases every year after that forever, although it may not always be an even split between dividends and repurchases. If Zoom's equity cost of capital is 13.1% and it has 5.1 million shares outstanding, what is its share price today?
Answer:
The share price today is $15.57
Explanation:
Value of the firm = Cash Flow / Cost of Equity
Value of the firm= $10,400,000 / 13.1%
Value of the firm= $79,389,312.98
If Zoom's equity cost of capital is 13.1% and it has 5.1 million shares outstanding, what is its share price today
Share price today = $79,389,312.98 / 5,100,000 Shares
Share price today = $15.5665
Share price today = $15.57
The share price today is $15.57
Assume that on December 31, 2019, Kimberly-Clark Corp. signs a 10-year, non-cancelable lease agreement to lease a storage building from Sheffield Storage Company. The following information pertains to this lease agreement.
1. The agreement requires equal rental payments of $67,299 beginning on December 31, 2019.
2. The fair value of the building on December 31, 2019 is $492,571.
3. The building has an estimated economic life of 12 years, a guaranteed residual value of $10,500, and an expected residual value of $7,300. Kimberly-Clark depreciates similar buildings on the straight-line method.

Merone Company allocates materials handling cost to the company's two products using the below data: Modular Homes Prefab Barns Total expected units produced 5,000 8,000 Total expected material moves 500 100 Expected direct labor-hours per unit 700 200 The total materials handling cost for the year is expected to be $218,790. If the materials handling cost is allocated on the basis of material moves, the total materials handling cost allocated to the modular homes is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Modular homes= $182,325
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Modular Homes - Prefab Barns
Total expected material moves 500 100
The total materials handling cost for the year is expected to be $218,790.
To calculate the allocated costs to each product line, 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= 218,790/600
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $364.65 per move
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Modular homes= 364.65*500= $182,325
Prefab Barnes= 364.65*100= $36,465

Howard Services, Inc., has $ 8 comma 600 cash on hand on January 1. The company requires a minimum cash balance of $ 7 comma 600. January cash collections are $ 548 comma 570. Total cash payments for January are $ 567 comma 610. Prepare a cash budget for January. How much cash, if any, will Howard need to borrow by the end of January?
Answer:
The amount of cash to be borrowed = $18,040
Explanation:
The cash budget shows the expected cash payments and expected cash receipts and cash balance at the end of a particular period.
Note that in the cash budget only items of the cash are considered, therefore items like depreciation, amortization of intangible assets and apportionment of fixed costs are not included because they are not cash based.
The balance at the end = opening cash balance + cash receipts -cash payment
Applying this to Howard Services, Inc.
The amount of cash to be borrowed = Minimum cash balance required - Net cash balance
DATA
Opening cash balance - 8600
Cash receipts- 548,570
Cash payment - 567,610
Net cash balance = 8600 + 548,570 - 567,610 = (10,440)
The amount of cash to be borrowed = 7,600 - (10,440)
