Answer:
The effect is a decrease in the use of land line phones, so there is a decrease in demand for land line phones and an increase in demand for cellular phones.
Explanation:
With the popularization of the cell phone, there was an economic effect caused by the increase in demand for cell phones and the decrease in demand for landlines, which means that the landline sector was affected by changes in consumer taste and preferences, which led to many fixed-line operators migrate to a focus on mobile telephony.
With the popularization of cell phones, it is also possible to notice the increase in industries that produce increasingly technological and differentiated devices to meet this constantly growing demand.
Mr. Meyers wishes to know how many shares are necessary to elect 6 directors out of 14 directors up for election in the Austin Power Company. There are 74,000 shares outstanding.
Answer: 29,601 shares
Explanation:
When calculating the number of shares required to elect a certain number of directors given the shares outstanding, use the formula;
Shares required = ((Number of directors required)*(Total number of shares outstanding) / (Total number of directors + 1)) + 1
= (6 * 74,000) / ( 14 + 1) + 1
=( 444,000/15) + 1
= 29,600 + 1
= 29,601 shares are needed to elect 6 directors

Radovilsky Manufacturing Company, in Hayward, California, makes flashing lights for toys. The company operates its production facility 300 days per year. It has orders for about 9,000 flashing lights per year and has the capacity of producing 60 per day. Setting up the light production costs $49. The holding cost is $0.10 per light per year.
a. What is the optimal size of the production run?
b. What is the average holding cost per year?
c. What is the average setup cost per year?
d. What is the total cost per year, including the cost of the lights?
Answer:
a. 2,970
b. $148.50
c. $148.50
d. $297.00
Explanation:
Optimal size of the production run is the size of the Production run that minimizes set -up costs and holding costs.
Optimal size of the production run = √ (2 × Annual Production Demand × Set-up Cost) / Holding Cost per unit
= √(2 × 9,000 × $49) / $0.10
= 2,969.85 or 2,970 flashing lights
Average holding cost = Optimal size of the production run /2 × Holding Cost per unit
= 2,970/2 × $0.10
= $148.50
Average setup cost = Annual Production Demand / Optimal size of the production run × Cost per set -up
= 9,000 / 2,970 × $49
= $148.50
Total Cost = Average holding cost + Average setup cost
= $148.50 + $148.50
= $297.00

The common belief among economists is that it is better to embrace _____________, and then deal with the costs and trade offs with other policy tools, than it is to engage in _______________.
Answer: the gains from trade; protectionism
Explanation:
The common belief among economists is that it is better to embrace the gains from trade, and then deal with the costs and trade offs with other policy tools, than it is to engage in protectionism.
Economists believe that when countries engage in trade together, it brings about increase in the world's output, better innovation and better product quality hence, they do not really support protectionism.

Selling price per unit is $54
Variable manufacturing costs per unit manufactured includes direct materials DM, direct labor DL, and variable MOH $27.
Variable operating expenses per unit sold $4
Fixed manufacturing overhead (MOH) in total for the year $120,000
Fixed operating expenses in total for the year $92,000
Units manufactured and sold for the year 12,000 units
Required:
a. Prepare an income statement for the upcoming year using variable costing.
b. Prepare an income statement for the upcoming year using absorption costing.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).
Absorption costing income statement:
Sales= 12,000*54= 648,000
COGS= (12,000*27) + 120,000= (444,000)
Gross profit= 204,000
Total operating expenses= (12,000*4) + 92,000= (140,000)
Net operating income= 64,000
Variable costing income statement:
Sales= 648,000
Total variable cost= 12,000*(27 + 4)= (372,000)
Total contribution margin= 276,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead= (120,000)
Fixed operating expenses= (92,000)
Net operating income= 64,000

Determine the amount of money that must be invested now (time 0) at 10% nominal interest, compounded monthly, to provide an annuity of $7 comma 000 per year for 12 years, starting eight years from now. The interest rate remains constant over this entire period of time.
Answer:
the amount of money that must be invested now is $21068.87
Explanation:
Given that:
Nominal interest = 10%
Annuity = 7000
n = 8 years
The Effective interest rate is calculated by using the formula:
Effective interest rate = [tex]( 1 + \dfrac{r}{100 \times n})^n-1[/tex]
Effective interest rate = [tex]( 1 + \dfrac{10}{100 \times 8})^8-1[/tex]
Effective interest rate = 0.1045
Effective interest rate = 10.45 %
Thus ; the the amount of money that must be invested now is the present value with the annuity of $7, 000 per year for 12 years, starting eight years from now.
[tex]PV = 7000(\dfrac{(1+ 0.1045)^{12}-1}{0.1045(1 + 0.1045)^{12}})( \dfrac{1}{(1+ 0.1045)^8})[/tex]
PV = 7000 × 6.666056912 × 0.4515171371
PV = $21068.87
Thus; the amount of money that must be invested now is $21068.87
It is better to evaluate economic decisions at the marginal, where the decision has to be made as long as its marginal benefit exceeds its marginal cost, if not equal to its marginal cost.
A. True
B. False
Answer: True
Explanation:
Output is always maximised where Marginal Benefit is above Marginal Cost. Ideally speaking, Marginal Benefits should be equal to Marginal Costs but Marginal Benefits being greater than cost is still a good thing because it means that there is still room for expansion until such a point as the MB = MC.
However, if it starts costing more per unit to gain a benefit per unit MB < MC, the decision makers can know to limit the activity because this will cause losses. This is why it is better to make decisions at a Marginal level so that one may know when output is maximised as well as when to rein in production.

The purchase price of a natural gas-fired commercial boiler (capacity X) was $181,000 eight years ago. Another boiler of the same basic design, except with capacity 1.42X, is currently being considered for purchase. If it is purchased, some optional features presently costing $28,000 would be added for your application. If the cost index was 162 for this type of equipment when the capacity X boiler was purchased and is 221 now, and the applicable cost capacity factor is 0.8, what is your estimate of the purchase price for the new boiler
Answer:
$308,500.85
Explanation:
$181,000 eight years ago in real dollars was $181,000 / 162 = $111,728.40
new boiler with a 1.42X capacity x capacity factor = 1.42 x 0.8 = 1.136 (the price of the new boiler is 1.136 times the old boiler)
current price of the new boiler in real dollars = 1.136 x $111,728.40 = $126,923.46
real dollars converted to current nominal dollars = $126,923.46 x 2.21 = $280,500.85
price of the new boiler + additional optional features = $280,500.85 + $28,000 = $308,500.85
Suppose you deposit $ cash into your checking account. By how much will the total money supply increase as a result when the required reserve ratio is 0.0?
Answer:
If the required reserve ratio is 0, that means that the money multiplier will be infinite. I guess the question is incomplete.
I looked for similar questions to fill in the blanks:
If you deposit $2,400 and the required reserve ratio is 0.4, then by how much does the money supply increase?
first we must determine the money multiplier = 1 / required reserve ratio = 1 / 0.4 = 2.5
to determine the total effect on the money supply we just multiply the deposit by the multiplier = $2,400 x 2.5 = $6,000 increase.

Our company sells a product for $150 per unit. Variable costs are $90 per unit and fixed costs are $18,000. The company expects to sell 800 units this year. What is the contribution margin in total dollars
Answer:
$48,000
Explanation:
From the question, we are given the following;
Per unit selling price of the product = $150
Variable costs per unit = $90
Fixed costs = $18,000
Expected units to be sold 800
Therefore,
Contribution margin in dollars = Selling price - Variable costs
= ($150 × 800) -($90 × 800)
= $120,000 - $72,000
=$48,000
Suppose that you open your own business and earn an accounting profit of $35,000 per year. When you started your business, you left a job that paid you a $30,000 salary annually. Also, suppose that you invested $70,000 of your own funds to start up your business. If the normal rate of return on capital is 10 percent, your economic profit is
Answer:
$-2000
Explanation:
Economic profit = accounting profit - opportunity cost
Opportunity cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives.
if i hadn't quit my job, i would be earning $30,000. so, $30,000 is one of my opportunity costs.
also, if i hadn't started my business, i would be earning 0.1 x $70,000 = $7,000 on my capital. this is my second opportunity cost.
total opportunity cost = $7,000 + $30,000 = $37,000
economic profit = $35,000 - $37,000 = $-2000

Calvert Corporation expects an EBIT of $25,300 every year forever. The company currently has no debt, and its cost of equity is 15.3 percent. The company can borrow at 10.1 percent and the corporate tax rate is 25 percent. a. What is the current value of the company
Answer:
Value of the company = $124,019.61
Explanation:
The value of then firm is the present value of its expected future cash inflow discounted at its required rate of return.
In this case, the earnings available to ordinary shareholders becomes the annual cash inflow while the appropriate discount rate is the cost of equity.
The absence of debt in the company's capital structure implies that the cost of equity would be the appropriate discount rate.
And the value of the company would be determined as follows
Value of the company = Earnings after tax/Cost of equity
Earnings after tax = EBIT × (1-Tax rate)= 25,300×(1-0.25)=18,975
Cost of equity = 15.3%
Value of the company = 18975 /0.153= 124,019.6078
Value of the company = $124,019.61

Widget Co has a market capitalization of $ 100M. It does a 5-for-1 stock split. It then does a 1- for-25 reverse stock split. Finally, it does a 35-for-1 stock split. Nothing else changes. What’s the new market cap?
Answer: $100M
Explanation:
This is a bit of a trick question but when you come into contact with such questions remember this, stock splits do not change the total Market Capitalization. Market Cap is the total cash value of the company's stock in the market. A split would increase the number of shares outstanding but the market cap will remain the same because the shares will decrease in value.
bond j has a coupon rate of 3 percent and bond k has a coupon rate of 9 percent. Both bonds have 13 years to maturity, make semiannual payments, and have a YTM of 6 percent. what if rates suddenly fall by 2 percent instesd?
Answer:
if interest rates fall by 2%
price of bond j will increase to $756.83, price change = $756.83 - $663.28 = $93.55 or 14.1%
price of bond k will increase to $1,317.99, price change = $1,317.99 - $1,224.47 = $93.52 or 7.64%
Explanation:
bond j coupon rate 3%, 13 years to maturity, semiannual payments, YTM 6%
bond k coupon rate 9%, 13 years to maturity, semiannual payments, YTM 6%
current market price of bond j:
YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]
0.03 = {15 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]} / [(1,000 + market value)/2]
0.015(1,000 + market value) = 15 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]
15 + 0.015market value = 15 + 35.46 - 0.038market value
0.05346market value = 35.46
market value = 35.46 / 0.05346 = $663.28
current market price of bond k:
YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]
0.03 = {45 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]} / [(1,000 + market value)/2]
0.015(1,000 + market value) = 45 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]
15 + 0.015market value = 15 + 65.46 - 0.038market value
0.05346market value = 65.46
market value = 65.46 / 0.05346 = $1,224.47
if YTM decrease by 2%, then:
new market price of bond j:
0.02 = {15 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]} / [(1,000 + market value)/2]
0.01(1,000 + market value) = 15 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]
10 + 0.01market value = 15 + 35.46 - 0.038market value
0.05346market value = 40.46
market value = 40.46 / 0.05346 = $756.83
new market price of bond k:
YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]
0.02 = {45 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]} / [(1,000 + market value)/2]
0.01(1,000 + market value) = 45 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]
10 + 0.01market value = 15 + 65.46 - 0.038market value
0.05346market value = 70.46
market value = 70.46 / 0.05346 = $1,317.99
Watson consulting, llc is a consultancy to consultants. They have bonds which have a face value of $1,000. The bonds carry a 3.5 percent semi-annual coupon, and mature in 10 years. What is the current price of these bonds if the yield to maturity (the going market rate, rd) is 5 percent
Answer:
The current market price is $ 883.08

Annuity factor = (1 - (1+r)^(-n))/r
r -monthly rate of interest, n- number of months
First option
monthly interest rate = 5.5% =0.458 %, n- 15×12
Annuity factor= (1-(1+0.055)^(-180 )/0.055 =122.38
Monthly repayment = 220,000/122.386 = 1797.58
Second option
r- 6.5%/12 = 0.542 % n = 15×12 = 180
Annuity factor = ( 1- (1+0.00542)^(-360))/0.005 42= 158.21
Monthly installment = 220,000/1390.549 = 1390.54
Difference in monthly payment = 1,797.583 - 1390.54 = 407.0339
Difference in monthly payment=407.0339

A company manufactures and sells two products: Product A1 and Product C4. Data concerning the expected production of each product and the expected total direct labor-hours (DLHs) required to produce that output appear below:
Expected Production Direct Labor-Hours Per Unit Total Direct Labor-Hours
Product A1 500 2.0 1,000
Product C4 200 1.0 200
Total direct labor-hours 1,200
The direct labor rate is $27.40 per DLH. The direct materials cost per unit is $281 for Product A1 and $267 for Product C4. The company is considering adopting an activity-based costing system with the following activity cost pools, activity measures, and expected activity:
Estimated Expected
Activity Cost Pools Activity Measures Overhead Cost Product C1 Product M2 Total
Labor-related DLHs $558,452 7,200 7,700 14,900
Production orders Orders 75,240 500 600 1,100
General factory MHs 886,410 4,400 4,600 9,000
$1,520,102
The total cost per unit of Product C4 under activity-based costing is closest to: ____________
Answer:
Unitary cost= $4,207.85
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Product C4:
Production= 200 units
Direct labor hours per unit= 1
Total DLH= 200
The direct labor rate is $27.40 per DLH.
The direct materials cost per unit is $267
Activity Cost Pools - Overhead Cost - Product C4 - Total
Labor-related DLHs $558,452 - 7,700 - 14,900
Production orders Orders $75,240 - 600 - 1,100
General factory MHs $886,410 - 4,600 - 9,000
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate for each activity:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Labor-related= 558,452/14,900= $37.48 per DLH
Production orders= 75,240/1,100= $68.4 per order
General factory= 886,410/9,000= $98.49 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate overhead to C4 as a whole:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Labor-related= 37.48*7,700= $288,596
Production orders= 68.4*600= $41,040
General factory= 98.49*4,600= $453,054
Total= $782,690
Finally, the total cost and cost per unit:
Total cost= 200*267 + 200*27.4 + 782,690
Total cost= $841,570
Unitary cost= 841,570/200= $4,207.85
