Answer:
C. Both of the above
Explanation:
Insurance policy and repair order are both contracts.
The insurance policy is an agreement between the insurer (person or company) and the policyholder (the person who takes the cover). On the other hand, the repair order is also a contract because it is an agreement between the company who will provide the service repair and the customer who will receive the service.
As long as both parties consent to the agreement, are capable of doing what is asked in the agreement and that the agreement is legal, then it is considered a contract.
The controller of Fortnight Co. has requested a quick estimate of the manufacturing supplies needed for the Cleveland Plant for the month of July, when production is expected to be 470,000 units to meet the ending inventory requirements and sales of 475,000 units. Fortnight Co.'s budget analyst has the following actual data for the last three months. Month Production in Units Manufacturing Supplies March 450,000 $723,060 April 540,000 853,560 May 480,000 766,560Using the high-low method to develop a cost estimating equation, the estimate of needed manufacturing supplies for July would be: (CMA adapted)
Answer:
Total cost= $752,060
Explanation:
To calculate the fixed and variable cost under the high-low method, we need to use the following formulas:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (853,560 - 723,060) / (540,000 - 450,000)
Variable cost per unit= $1.45
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 853,560 - (1.45*540,000)
Fixed costs= $70,560
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 723,060 - (1.45*450,000)
Fixed costs= $70,560
Now, the total cost for 470,000 units:
Total cost= 70,560 + 1.45*470,000
Total cost= $752,060

Corporation, a manufacturing company, is analyzing its cost structure in a project to achieve some cost savings. Which of the following statements is/are correct? I. The cost of the direct materials in 's products is considered a variable cost. II. The cost of the depreciation of 's plant machinery is considered a variable cost because uses an accelerated depreciation method for both book and income tax purposes. III. The cost of electricity for 's manufacturing facility is considered a fixed cost, even if the cost of the electricity has both variable and fixed components.
Answer:
The cost of the depreciation of plant's machinery is considered a variable cost because machinery uses an accelerated depreciation method for book and income tax purposes
Explanation:
A variable cost is an expense that is proportional to the production output. That is variable costs increase or decrease with respect to a company's production. This cost rise as production rises and falls as production falls. Costs of raw materials and packaging are examples of variable costs.

A business has fixed costs of $45,000 per month and a variable costs of $32,000 per month . What is the average total cost of 7,700 units
Answer:
$10 per unit
Explanation:
The average total cost (AC) is the estimated per-unit cost in a given output. The formula for calculating the average cost
=(Total fixed costs + total variable costs) / number of units produced = average total cost.
Adding Total fixed cost to total variable cost equal to Total cost (TC)
For this business, the average total costs
=$45,000 + $32,000 /7,700
=$77,000/7700
=$10
AC= $10 per unit

The following information is available for Trailblazer, a manufacturer of four-wheel all-terrain vehicles for its first two years of operation: 2020 2021 Vehicles produced 1,000 1,400 Vehicles sold 900 1,200 Selling price per unit $1,200 $1,200 Direct material per unit $350 $350 Direct labor per unit $220 $220 Variable manufacturing overhead per unit $40 $40 Fixed manufacturing overhead per year $112,000 $112,000 Variable selling and administrative expense per unit $20 $20 Fixed selling and administrative expense per year $35,000 $35,000 Calculate net income for 2021 using full costing. Net income $enter a net income in dollars 523000
Answer:
$537,000
Explanation:
The computation of net income for 2021 using full costing is shown below:-
Net income = Sales - Cost of goods sold - Selling and administrative expenses
= (1,200 × 1,200) - (((1,200 × (350 + 220 + 20)) + 112,000) - ((1,200 × 20) + 35,000)
= $1,440,000 - $844,000 - $59,000
= $537,000
So, for computing the net income we simply applied the above formula.
By observing an individual’s behavior in the situations outlined below, determine therelevant income elasticities of demand for each good (i.e., whether the good is normal orinferior). If you cannot determine the income elasticity, what additional informationmight you need?
a. Bill spends all his income on books and coffee. He finds $20 while rummagingthrough a used paperback bin at the bookstore. He immediately buys a newhardcover book of poetry.
b. Bill loses $10 he was going to use to buy a double espresso. He decides to sell hisnew book at a discount to his friend and use the money to buy coffee.
c. Being bohemian becomes the latest teen fad. As a result, coffee and book pricesrise by 25 percent. Bill lowers his consumption of both goods by the same percentage.
d. Bill drops out of art school and gets an M.B.A. instead. He stops reading books anddrinking coffee. Now he reads The Wall Street Journal and drinks bottled mineralwater
Answer:
Normal goods are those goods which see their demand rise when income rises and fall when income falls. Inferior goods on the other hand will see their demand fall when income rises and vice versa.
a. Book = Normal Good
Coffee = Neutral good
The demand for Books increased when Bill had more money which makes it a normal good.
The demand for coffee did not change when new income came thereby making it a neutral good.
b. Book = Normal Good
Coffee = Inferior good
The demand for Books decreased when Bill had less money which makes it a normal good.
The demand for coffee increased when Bill's income reduced thereby making it an inferior good.
c. Book = Normal Good = Coffee
Both coffee and books are normal goods because Bill is buying less of them when their prices increase because it means that Bill has less income to spend on them.
d. More information needed.
We are unable to tell which goods are normal or inferior as we are not given information on the relative changes in demand as a result of income changing.
Use the following data to compute total manufacturing costs for the month:
Sales commissions $ 11,800
Direct labor 40,600
Indirect materials 16,200
Factory manager salaries 8,200
Factory supplies 10,000
Indirect labor 7,300
Depreciation—office equipment 6,000
Direct materials 41,500
Corporate office salaries 43,500

b) $132,300.
c) $50,200.
d) $90,800.
e) $61,300.
Answer:
$132,300
Explanation:
The total manufacturing costs for the month can be calculated as follows
Direct labor + indirect materials + factory manager salary + indirect labour + direct materials + depreciation on factory equipment
= 40,600 + 16,200 + 8,200 + 10,000 + 7,300 + 41,500 + 8,500
= $132,300
Hence the total manufacturing costs if $132,300
QUESTIONS: What is the state’s role in enforcing federal drug laws? Even in states where marijuana is legal, many large employers have company-wide policies that prohibit the hiring of anyone who tests positive for recent marijuana use. How do you think Congress should respond to protect the rights of citizens to sell and use marijuana in states where it is legalized while protecting the interests of employers? Given this complex dynamic and the legal theory of preemption, do you think marijuana is really legal in the states in which it is legalized? Why or why not
Answer:
States have a high duty to adhere to the federal laws and state rule as well, wherever it is applicable. But in case the state has unique requirement, it may enact and enforce its own law which suits the local population rather than use of federal law. When it comes to federal drug laws, the states have a responsibility to work along with the federal authorities and government to make sure that the laws are in place. This includes not bringing about conflicting laws.
Congress should allow the employers to set their own rules. For example, if an employer does not allow employees to drink during working hours, there is no problem with it. Similarly if an employer chooses not to hire anyone with visible tattoo on their body, then that is completely employers’ discretion. Similarly if the employers have company wide policy to avoid marijuana, then that is employers’ business. There are many NGOs where the employers do not allow smoking or recruit smokers. There is nothing wrong with it. Now, unless an employee has medical justification for consuming marijuana, the employer should be within their right to decide on action on the employee. This is why Congress should not interfere in the employer-employee relationship.
Given that in absolute conflict, the federal laws trump the state laws, marijuana is not legal in any of the states even if the state law permits it. The only reason the US Government is not taking action against recreational marijuana in the mentioned states is because it is too cumbersome and the outcome is not that significant. There is not a great deal of state benefit by arresting the farmers growing marijuana or the people distributing it. Thus it is still illegal but the government is not acting upon it.

Linden, Inc. uses a 6,900 square foot factory space that it rents for $3,500 a month for all its manufacturing activities. Linden has decided to switch to an activity-based costing system, and has identified its activities as follows: Preparation and Setup, Machining, Finishing, and Quality Control. 3,100 square feet of the factory are used for machining, while 1,400 square feet (each) are used for Preparation and Setup and Quality Control. Finishing uses 1,000 square feet. When assigning indirect costs to each activity, how much factory rent should be assigned to the Preparation and Setup cost pool
Answer: $710.14
Explanation:
Out of the total space of 6,900 square foot, Preparation and Setup uses 1,400 out of this.
Rent is $3,500
The total rent to be apportioned to it will therefore be;
= 1,400/6,900 * 3,500
= $710.14

The Federal Reserve has currently set the reserve requirement at 5 percent of transaction deposits. Assume U.S. banks withdraw all excess reserves and give out loans. a. Assume also that borrowers eventually return all of these funds to their banks in the form of transaction deposits. What is the full effect of this purchase on bank deposits and the money supply? b. What is the full effect of this purchase on bank deposits and the money supply if borrowers return only 95 percent of these funds to their banks in the form of transaction deposits? (For all requirements, enter your answers in billions. Round your final answers to 2 decimal places. (i.e., 5,500,000,000 should be entered as 5.50).)
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. . Assume also that borrowers eventually return all of these funds to their banks in the form of transaction deposits. What is the full effect of this purchase on bank deposits and the money supply?
Based on the above scenario, there'll be an increase in bank deposits and money supply by $16.4 billion.
= (1/5%) × $820 million
= (1/0.05) × $820 million
= 20 × $820 million
= 16,400,000,000
= 16.4 billion
b.What is the full effect of this purchase on bank deposits and the money supply if borrowersreturn only 95 percent of these funds to their banks in the form of transaction deposits?
This will lead to an increase in the bank deposits and money supply by $8.2 billion
= [1/(0.05+(1-0.95)] × $820 million
= [1/0.05+0.05] × $820 million
= (1/0.1) × $820 million
= 10 × $820 million
= $8.2 billion

Jamie's Motor Home Sales currently sells 1,100 Class A motor homes, 2,200 Class C motor homes, and 2,800 pop-up trailers each year. Jamie is considering adding a mid-range camper and expects that if she does so she can sell 1,500 of them. However, if the new camper is added, Jamie expects that her Class A sales will decline to 850 units while the Class C camper sales decline to 2,000. The sales of pop-ups will not be affected. Class A motor homes sell for an average of $140,000 each. Class C homes are priced at $59,500 and the pop-ups sell for $5,000 each. The new mid-range camper will sell for $42,900. What is the erosion cost of adding the mid-range camper
Answer:
$46,900,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the erosion cost of adding the mid-range camper
Erosion cost = [(1,100 - 850) × $140,000] + [(2,200 -2,000) × $59,500]
Erosion cost =(250×$140,000)+(200×$59,500)
Erosion cost =$35,000,000+$11,900,000
Erosion cost = $46,900,000
Therefore the erosion cost of adding the mid-range camper will be $46,900,000
The equity is owned by LP investors and MP in a ratio of 5 to 1. The total invested equity is $120. The outstanding mortgage balance at the end of 2019 is $240. The property sells for $400 net of all expenses at the end of 2019. The rules established for sales proceeds are, first pay the mortgage off, next return capital to equity partners and finally split all remaining proceeds 70 LP/30 MP. How much cash flow will the MP get from the sales transaction (do not put the $ sign in the answer)
Answer:
MP will get a cash flow of:
$128
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Equity shares
LP = 5
MP = 1
Ratio of equity = 5 : 1
Invested equity = $120
Share of invested equity:
LP = 5/6 * $120 = $100
MP = 1/6 * $120 = $20
Mortgage = $240
Property Sales = $400

A problem of interest to health officials (and others) is to determine the effects of smoking during pregnancy on infant health. One measure of infant health is birth weight; a birth weight that is too low can put an infant at risk for contracting various illnesses. Since factors other than cigarette smoking that affect birth weight are likely to be correlated with smoking, we should take those factors into account. For example, higher income generally results in access to better prenatal care, as well as better nutrition for the mother. An equation that recognizes this is bwght 5 b0 1 b1cigs 1 b2 faminc 1 u. (i) What is the most likely sign for b2
Answer:
β2 should have a positive sign
Explanation:
The regression equation is:
βwght = β0+β1cigs+β2faminc+μ
The equation tells us that the birth weight of a child is dependent on factors like cigarette consumption and family income.
β1 should have a negative sign because smoking during pregnancy has an adverse effect on birth weight. So there would be a negative correlation between birth weight and cigarette consumption.
β2 should have a positive sign. This is because while pregnant, a family with more income has the ability to provide better prenatal care and also better nutrition to the expectant mother. Therefore we have a positive correlation.
Alameda Tile sells products to many people remodeling their homes and thinks that it could profitably offer courses on tile installation, which might also increase the demand for its products. The basic installation course has the following (tentative) price and cost characteristics. Tuition $ 800 per student Variable costs (tiles, supplies, and so on) 480 per student Fixed costs (advertising, salaries, and so on) 160,000 per year Required: a. What enrollment will enable Alameda Tile to break even? b. How many students will enable Alameda Tile to make an operating profit of $80,000 for the year? c. Assume that the projected enrollment for the year is 800 students for each of the following (considered independently): 1. What will be the operating profit (for 800 students)? 2. What would be the operating profit if the tuition per student (that is, sales price) decreased by 10 percent? Increased by 20 percent? 3. What would be the operating profit if variable costs per student decreased by 10 percent? Increased by 20 percent? 4. Suppose that fixed costs for the year are 10 percent lower than projected, whereas variable costs per student are 10 percent higher than projected. What would be the operating profit for the year?
Answer:
Alameda Tile
a. The enrollment to enable Alameda Tile to break even = 500 students.
b. To make an operating profit of $80,000, number of students
= 750 students
c. With projected enrollment for the year of 800 students:
1. Operating profit = Total Contribution - Fixed Costs
= ($320 * 800) - $160,000
= $96,000
2. a) Operating Profit, if the tuition per student decreased by 10%.
New selling price = $720 which is $800 * (1 - 10%)
Variable cost 480
Contribution $240
Operating profit = Total Contribution - Fixed Costs
= ($240 * 800) - $160,000
= $32,000
2. b) Operating Profit, if the tuition per student increased by 20%.
New selling price = $960 which is $800 * (1 + 20%)
Variable cost 480
Contribution $480
Operating profit = Total Contribution - Fixed Costs
= ($480 * 800) - $160,000
= $224,000
3. a) Operating Profit, if variable costs per student decreased by 10%.
Selling price = $800
Variable cost 432 $480 * (1 - 10%)
Contribution $368
Operating profit = Total Contribution - Fixed Costs
= ($368 * 800) - $160,000
= $134,400
3. b) Operating Profit, if variable costs per student increased by 20%.
Selling price = $800
Variable cost 576 $480 * (1 + 20%)
Contribution $224
Operating profit = Total Contribution - Fixed Costs
= ($224 * 800) - $160,000
= $19,200
4. Operating profit, if fixed costs reduced by 10% and variable cost increased by 10%:
Selling price = $800
Variable cost 528 $480 * (1 + 10%)
Contribution $272
Operating profit = Total Contribution - Fixed Costs
= ($272 * 800) - $144,000 ($160,000 * (1 - 10%)
= $73,600
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Tentative Price and Cost Characteristics:
Tuition $ 800 per student
Variable costs (tiles, supplies, and so on) 480 per student
Fixed costs (advertising, salaries, and so on) 160,000 per year
Per unit Tentative
Selling price = $800
Variable cost 480
Contribution $320
b) Computation of break-even point:
To break-even with fixed cost of $160,000, sales unit will be equal to:
Fixed cost/Contribution per unit = $160,000/$320 = 500 students
c) Fixed cost + Target Profit /Contribution per unit:
= ($160,000 + $80,000)/$320
= $240,000/320
= 750 students
