Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Part 1 : -7.6

Part 2: 15.2%

Part 3: Orange County

Explanation:

Part 1. Price Elasticity:

The formula for Price Elasticity is:

Price Elasticity = Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded divided by the percentage change in price.

So,

We need percentage change in price and percentage change in quantity demanded in order to solve for price elasticity of demand in San Bernardino County.

So,

As we know that,

In San Bernardino County, the median price rose 1.5% to $340,000 and sales fell 11.4%.

Hence,

The Percentage Change in Price = 1.5

The Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded = -11.4

Just Plugging in these values in the Price Elasticity formula, we get:

Price Elasticity of Demand = -11.4 / 1.5

Price Elasticity of Demand =  -7.6

Part 2: Condition Given: If Price increased by 2%

So,

In this we are asked to find the percentage change in quantity demanded.

Therefore, we will use the same formula of Plasticity of demand.

Price Elasticity of Demand = Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded divided by the percentage change in price.

Making Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded as subject:

Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded = Price Elasticity multiplied by the percentage change in price.

Here,

Percentage Change in price = 2%

Price Elasticity of Demand =  -7.6

Just plugging in these values in to the formula:

Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded = -7.6 x  2

Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded = -15.2

Therefore, Holding the price elasticity of demand constant, sales in San Bernardino County would fall by _15.2_% if prices increased by 2%.

Part 3:

To solve this part, first we need to understand the law of demands:

Law of demands says that the relationship of change in price and change in quantity demanded is inversely proportional keeping all other factors constant. So, if price goes high, quantity demanded will go down and vice versa.

And here,

In _Orange__ County, the law of demand appears to be violated.

Required:
Determine the amount of depreciation expense for the three years ending December 31, by:
(a) the straight-line method,
(b) the units-of-activity method, and
(c) the double-declining-balance method. Also determine the total depreciation expense for the three years by each method. Round the final answers for each year to the nearest whole dollar.

Answers

Answer:

a.

Year 1 = $34,200

Year 2 = $34,200

Year 3 = $34,200

Total   = $102,600

b.

Year 1 =  $41,040

Year 2 = $30,780

Year 3 = $30,780

Total   = $102,600

c.

Year 1 = $71,993

Year 2 = $24,002

Year 3 = $6,605

Total = $102,600

Explanation:

Straight Line Method

Depreciation Expense = Cost - Residual amount ÷ Estimated useful life

therefore,

Depreciation Expense = ($108,000 - $5,400) ÷ 3 = $34,200

This charge will be the same from Year 1 through Year 3 because its straight line !

Units-of-activity method

Depreciation Charge = Activity rate x activity during the period

where,

Activity rate = Cost - Residual amount ÷ Estimated operating hours

                    = ($108,000 - $5,400) ÷ 27,000 hours

                    = $3.80

Year 1

Depreciation Charge = $3.80 x 10,800 hours = $41,040

Year 2

Depreciation Charge = $3.80 x 8,100 hours = $30,780

Year 3

Depreciation Charge = $3.80 x 8,100 hours = $30,780

Double Declining Balance Method

Depreciation Charge = 2 x SLDP X BVSLDP

where,

SLDP = 100 ÷ number of years

         = 100 ÷ 3

         = 33.33 %

Year 1

Depreciation Charge = 2 x 33.33 % x $108,000

                                    = $71,992.80

Year 2

Depreciation Charge = 2 x 33.33 % x ($108,000 - $71,992.80)

                                   = $24,002

Year 3

Depreciation Charge = 2 x 33.33 % x ($108,000 - $71,992.80 - $24,002)

                                   = $8,002.67

However

In Year 3 depreciation will decrease the book value of the asset below its salvage value :

Do the Test :

Year 2 Book Value              $12,005

Less Year 3 Depreciation   ($8,003)

Year 3 Book Value               $4,002

With double-declining-balance method, Depreciation will only be allowed to the point where :

                                       Book Value = Salvage amount

Therefore, Depreciation for year 3 will be :

Year 2 Book Value              $12,005

Less Salvage amount          ($5,400)

Year 3 Depreciation             $6,605

(c) Compute the overhead cost per unit for each product. (Round to nearest cent.)
(d) Comment on the comparative overhead cost per product.

Answers

Answer:

Flynn Industries

a) Schedule of Activity-based Overhead Rates per Cost Driver:

Machine setup   $16,000/40 = $400 per machine setup

Machining      $110,000/5,000 = $22 per machine hour

Packing          $30,000/500 =    $60 per order

b) A Schedule Assigning Activities Overhead Cost to the Products:

                                                               Product                 Product

                                                                BC113                   AD908

Cost Pool            Overhead Rate     Usage  Costs        Usage  Costs

Machine setup   $400/m.setup         25 = $10,000           15 =   $6,000

Machining            $22/mhour       1,000  =  22,000    4,000 =    88,000

Packing                $60/order              150   = 9,000        350 =    21,000

Total overhead allocated                          $41,000                  $115,000

c) Computation of the Overhead Cost per unit:

                                                  Product                 Product

                                                    BC113                   AD908

Below, you are provided with four groups of different goods. These goods are differentiated by the number of likely substitutes that each has, and by the fraction of income that consumers spend on each. You will rank the goods within each group by their expected price elasticities of demand.

Consider the following three goods:
1. a red convertible car
2. a car
3. a convertible car.

Rank the demand of these three goods by their expected price elasticities of demand from most elastic to least elastic.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The red and the convertible cars would be considered similar i.e. they are perfect substitutes also the car and the convertible car would be the substitutes but it is not a perfect as the convertible car would be the subset of the car group plus the expenditure made on the convertible car would be high so here the elasticity is more

In recent years, the world demand curve for copper shifted rightward due to continued economic growth in China and other emerging economies. Also, the costs of extracting the copper increased due to higher energy prices. As a result, we observed:

Answers

Answer:

With this combination of events, we can expect to observe higher equilibrium copper prices.

Explanation:

The reasons is that there are two economic forces pushing the market-clearing price upwards: the economic growth in China shifting the demand curve rightwards, and the higher production costs raising the supply curve.

Because of the higher production costs, firms will have to raise the selling price of copper, and at the same time, the higher demand from China will prevent any fall in demand due to the higher prices, actually driving the price even higher.

Answers

Answer:

$54,775

Explanation:

The computation of the finished goods inventory is shown below:

As we know that

Cost of Goods sold = Cost of goods manufactured + Opening stock of Finished goods - Closing stock of Finished goods

Now

Ending Stock of Finished goods = Cost of goods manufactured + Opening stock of Finished goods - Cost of Goods sold

So,

Ending Stock of Finished goods is

= $107,350 + $35,675 - $88,250

= $54,775

Answers

Answer:

the choice of $98,000 per year for 30 years

Explanation:

To determine the option i would prefer, i have to find the present value of fiest opotion and compare it with the value of the second option.

To find the present value of the first option, the future value has to be determined first.

The formula for determining the future value of an annuity is :

The formula for calculating future value = A (B / r)

A = amount

B = annuity factor

r = interest rate

Annuity factor = {[(1+r)^n] - 1} / r

n = number of years

$98,000 x[ (1.03)^30 - 1 ] / 0.03 = $4,662,390.74

Now we determine the present value

PV = FV x ( 1+r)^-n

$4,662,390.74 x (1.03)^-30 = $1920,843.25

The payoff of the first option is greater than that of the second so i would choose the first

Total Direct Labor Hours

Flutes 2100 units *0.8 hour per unit= 1,680

Clarinets 800 units *1.4 hours per unit = 1,120

Oboes 1300 units *1.0 hour per unit= 1,300

Total Hours 4,100

Now let calculate the Plantwide overhead rate using this formula

Plantwide overhead rate = Total Overhead Cost / Total labor hours

Let plug in the formula

Plantwide overhead rate=$127,800/4,100

Plantwide overhead rate=$31.2 per hour

Therefore Plantwide overhead rate will be $31.2 per hour

B. Calculation to determine the amount of total and per-unit overhead allocated to each of the three products.

Product Total Labor Hours Total Overhead Overhead Per Unit

Flutes 1,680 52,416 (1,680*31.2) $24.96 (52416/2100)

Clarinets 1,120 34,944(1,120*31.2) $43.68 (34,944/800)

Oboes 1,300 40,560

(1,300*31.2) $32.74 (40,560/1,300)

Total 4,100 127,920 $101.38

Therefore Factory Overhead Cost Per Unit and Factory Overhead Cost Will be:

Factory Overhead Cost Per Unit

Flutes $24.96

Clarinets $43.68

Oboes $32.74

Factory Overhead Cost

Flutes 52,416

Clarinets 34,944

Oboes 40,560

We covered various methods to identify the preferred alternative. For example, the rate-of-return (ROR) method states that the base alternative is the one that instructs us to use incremental analysis to compare the base alternative to the next smallest investment cost alternative. Meaning, if the change in IRR is greater than or equal to MARR, eliminate the base and move on to the next comparison. If the change in IRR is less than MARR, keep the base and move on to the next comparison. Discuss this decision rule.

Answers

Answer:

The rate of return (RoR) of an investment calculates the net gain or loss of the investment over a period of time.  Then this gain or loss is expressed as a percentage of the investment's initial cost.  This return of return can be calculated as either the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) or the Minimum Acceptable Rate of Return.

The decision rule is based on ascertaining the economic attractiveness of a project.  The rule states that if the IRR exceeds the MARR, it shows that the investment is economic and beneficial.  If the IRR is less than the MARR, the investment is not economically beneficial.  When the IRR equals the MARR, it implies that the benefits from the investment equal the costs.

The purpose of this decision rule is to ensure that beneficial economic decisions are during investment planning.

Explanation:

The IRR (internal rate of return) of a project calculates the discount rate at which the net present value (NPV) of all cash flows from a project equals zero. The MARR (minimum acceptable rate of return) or the hurdle rate is the lowest rate of return that the project must earn to offset the investment costs of the project. Therefore, the rate of return is a determination of the percentage change in the value of the investment at the beginning of the period and at the end.

A design engineer wants to construct a sample mean chart for controlling the service life of a halogen headlamp his company produces. He knows from numerous previous samples that this service life is normally distributed with a mean of 500 hours and a standard deviation of 20 hours. On three recent production batches, he tested service life on random samples of four headlamps, with these results: Sample SERVICE LIFE 49 525 470 500 515 480 505 500 505 513 460 470
1. What is the sample mean service life for sample 2?
A) 460 hours
B) 495 hours
C) 515 hours
D) 525 hours
2. What is the mean of the sampling distribution of sample means for whenever service life is in control?
A) 250 hours
B) 470 hours
C) 495 hours
D) 500 hours
E) 515 hours
3. If he uses upper and lower control limits of 520 and 480 hours, on what sample(s) (if any) does service life appear to be out of control?
A) sample 1
B) sample2
C) sample 3
D) both samples 2 and 3
E) all samples are in control

Answers

Answer:

1) 515 hours

2) 495 hours

3) Sample 3

Explanation:

As given,

Sample                                                       Service life

1                                     495               500              505            500

2                                    525                515              505            515

3                                     470                480             460            470

a.)

Sample mean service for sample 2 = [tex]\frac{525+515+505+515}{4} = \frac{2060}{4}[/tex] = 515

Correct option is C.

b.)

Mean of the sampling distribution = Average of all the samples

Average of sample 1 = [tex]\frac{495+500+505+500}{4} = \frac{2000}{4}[/tex] = 500

Average of sample 2 =  [tex]\frac{525+515+505+515}{4} = \frac{2060}{4}[/tex] = 515

Average of sample 3 =  [tex]\frac{470+480+460+470}{4} = \frac{1880}{4}[/tex]= 470

Now,

Mean of the sampling distribution = [tex]\frac{500+515+470}{3} = \frac{1485}{3}[/tex] = 495

Correct option is C.

c.)

For the sample to be in control, the Average has to be lie in between the upper and lower control limit

As

470 does not lie between 480 and 520

∴ we get

Sample 3 will be out of control.

Correct option is C.

Answers

Answer: C. Westlake Corporation generated a positive cash flow from operations ​, but an even a greater amount was used to invest in fixed assets ​, resulting in a need to raise funds through financing activities.

Explanation:

From the Cashflows of Westlake shown here, we see that the cashflow from operations is $592. This means that there was a positive cashflow from operations.

$1,066 was however used to invest in fixed assets which is higher than the cash generated from operating cashflow.

As a result, the company did not have enough cash to finance the fixed assets and so they raised money through financing activities by acquiring debt of $643.

Randall Company manufactures products to customer specifications. A job costing system is used to accumulate production costs. Factory overhead cost was applied at 125% of direct labor cost. Selected data concerning the past year's operation of the company are presented below. January 1 December 31 Direct materials $ 84,000 $ 47,000 Work in process 73,000 49,000 Finished goods 122,000 107,000 Other information Direct materials purchases $ 331,000 Cost of goods available for sale 964,000 Actual factory overhead costs 267,000
The amount of underapplied or overapplied overhead is:______.

Answers

Solution :

The cost of the manufactured goods = cost of the available goods for sale - beginning of finished goods

                                                     = 964,000 - 122,000

                                                     = $ 842,000

Total cost of manufacturing = cost of the goods manufactured + ending work in process - beginning work in process

                                           =  842,000 + 49,000 - 73,000

                                          = $ 818,000

The direct material used = 84,000 + 331,000 - 47,000

                                       = $ 368,000

Now, the direct materials used + direct labor cost + factory overhead applied = the total material cost

368,000 + direct labor cost + 125% of direct labor = 818,000

225% of the direct labor cost = 818,000 - 368,000

                                              = $ 450,000

Direct labor = [tex]$\frac{450,000}{225}$[/tex]%   = $ 200,000

Therefore the factory overhead applied =  200,000 x 125%

                                                              = [tex]$\$ 250,000$[/tex]

The underapplied overhead = [tex]$\text{actual overhead} - \text{applied overhead}$[/tex]

                                           = [tex]$\$ \ 260,000 - \$ \ 250,000$[/tex]

                                           = $ 10,000

If Damon purchases the component from the supplier instead of manufacturing it, the effect on income would be:

Answers

Answer:

C. a $10,000 decrease.

Explanation:

Calculation for what the effect on income would be

First step is to calculate Make

Make=$100,000 + $160,000 + $60,000

Make = $320,000

Second step is to calculate Buy

Buy= $20,000 × $17 = $340,000 – $10,000

Buy = $330,000

Now let calculate the effect on income

Effect on income = $320,000 – $330,00

Effect on income = –$10,000 decrease

Therefore the effect on income would be –$10,000 decrease

Answer:

Price ceiling binding

price floor binding

price floor binding

Explanation:

A price floor is when the government or an agency of the government sets the minimum price of a product. A price floor is binding if it is set above equilibrium price. The legal minimum price is above $3. Thus, it is a binding price floor

As a result of the minimum price legislation, labour can't be hired. This is an example of a binding price floor

Price ceiling is when the government or an agency of the government sets the maximum price for a product. It is binding when it is set below equilibrium price. The government sets the maximum price has $2.50. This is below the equilibrium price. thus, it is a binding price ceiling
