The market price of cheeseburgers in a college town decreased recently, and the students in an economics class are debating the cause of the price decrease. Some students suggest that the price decreased because the price of beef, an important ingredient for making cheeseburgers, has decreased. Other students attribute the decrease in the price of cheeseburgers to a recent increase in the price of french fries. Everyone agrees that the increase in the price of french fries was caused by a recent increase in the price of potatoes, which are not generally used in making cheeseburgers.

The second group of students attributes the decrease in the price of cheeseburgers to the decrease in the price of calzones at local pizza parlors.

Suppose that both of the events you have just analyzed are partly responsible for the decrease in the price of cheeseburgers. Based on your analsis of the explanations offered by the two groups of students, how would you figure out which of the possible causes was the dominant cause of the decrease in the price of cheeseburgers?

a. If the equilibrium quantity of cheeseburgers increases, then the demand shift in the market for cheeseburgers must have been larger than the supply shift.
b. Whichever change occurred first must have been the primary cause of the change in the price of cheeseburgers.
c. If the equilibrium quantity of cheeseburgers increases, then the supply shift in the market for cheeseburgers must have been larger than the demand shift.
d. If the price decrease was small, then the supply shift in the market for cheeseburgers must have been larger than the demand shift.

Anita and Barry were negotiating, and Anita's attorney prepared a long and carefully drawn contract, which was given to Barry for examination. Five days later and prior to its execution, Barry's eyes became so infected that it was impossible for him to read. Ten days thereafter and during the continuance of the illness, Anita called upon Barry and urged him to sign the contract, telling him that time was running out. Barry signed the contract despite the fact he was unable to read it. In a subsequent action by Anita, Barry claimed that the contract was not binding upon him because it was impossible for him to read and he did not know what it contained prior to his signing it. Should Barry be held to the contract?

Causwell Company began 2021 with 18,000 units of inventory on hand. The cost of each unit was $5.00. During 2021 an additional 38,000 units were purchased at a single unit cost, and 28,000 units remained on hand at the end of 2021 (28,000 units therefore were sold during 2021).

The company is interested in determining what cost of goods sold would have been if the FIFO or LIFO methods were used.

Required:
a. Determine the cost of goods sold for 2018 using the FIFO method. [Hint: Determine the cost per unit of 2018 purchases.]
b. Determine the cost of goods sold for 2018 using the LIFO method. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Calculate the cost per equivalent unit for a. Direct materials b. Conversion costs 3. Calculate the direct materials and conversion costs assigned to units that were completed and transferred out in August, and those in ending WIP. 4. Tony Stark, a cost accountant in the company, has raised the concern that the FIFO method of process costing is not as informative about the changes in product costs as the weighted average method. Is Tony correct? Explain.

Johnstone Company is facing several decisions regarding investing and financing activities. Address each decision independently.

a. On June 30, 2021, the Johnstone Company purchased equipment from Genovese Corp. Johnstone agreed to pay Genovese $22,000 on the purchase date and the balance in five annual installments of $5,000 on each June 30 beginning June 30, 2022. Assuming that an interest rate of 11% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation, at what amount should Johnstone value the equipment.

b. Johnstone needs to accumulate sufficient funds to pay a S400,000 debt that comes due on December 31, 2023. The company will accumulate the funds by making five equal annual deposits to an account paying 6% interest compounded annually. Determine the required annual deposit if the first deposit is made on December 31, 2018.
c. On January 1, 2018, Johnstone leased an office building. Terms of the lease require Johnstone to make 20 annual lease payments of $120,000 beginning on January 1, 2018. A 10% interest rate is implicit in the lease agreement. At what amount should Johnstone record the lease liability on January 1, 2018, before any lease payments are made?

The business world is becoming increasingly global due to advances in technology and travel.
