Answer:
Use the high-low method to determine Flower Paradise's cost equation for van operating costs.
y = $ 0.20x + $1,800
Use your results to predict van operating costs at a volume of 15,000 miles.
y = ($0.20 x 15,000) + $1,800 = $4,800
Explanation:
Month Miles Driven Van Operating Costs
January 15,500 $5,390
February 17,400 $5,280
March 15,400 $4,960
April 16,300 $5,340
May 16,500 $5,450
June 15,200 $5,230
July 14,400 $4,680
In order to calculate the fixed and variable costs using the high-low method, we must take the month with the highest activity (February) and the month with the lowest activity (July):
variable costs = ($5,280 - $4,680) / (17,400 - 14,400) = $600 / 3,000 = $0.20 per mile driven
fixed costs = $4,680 - (14,400 x $0.20) = $4,680 - $2,880 = $1,800
Select one of the government functions and describe in a brief summary whether it has seen an increase or decrease in government spending over the past 10 to 15 years. For the function you have selected, is it related to the problem of addressing externalities, providing public goods or dealing with other market failures. Does it appear to be related to political functions instead of economic functions?
Answer:
The government function selected is protection and regulation of the enviroment.
This government function is mainly carried out by the Enviromental Protection Agency (EPA).
Over the past fifteen years, the EPA annual budget has averaged at around 8 billion dollars. In this time frame, it had its highest budget in 2010, with over 10 billion dollars.
The EPA essentially deals with market failures. Externalities like pollution or over exploitation of natural resources (tragedy of the commons) are some of the most commonly issues that the EPA has to solve.
Evaluate the following statement using economic reasoning “a monopolist can charge whatever she wants because she is the only source available”
Answer:
The question is kind of self explanatory. The monopolist controls a monopoly. A monopoly is the exclusive control of supplies or trade for services. If the monopolist is the only source for a product, she can charge whatever she wants. There is a demand for the product and she is the only source, therefore she will charge what she wants.
Explanation:
The statement "a monopolist could charge whatever she wants as she is the only available source" should be evaluated below:
The following information related to the monopoly is to be considered:
It is a single seller marketOnly one seller is available in the market.Substitutes of the goods are not available in the market.Having strong barriers to entry.Do not enter other firms.Therefore we can conclude that as a monopolist they have full control over the price as they are price maker.

A buyer and a seller enter into a real estate sales contract. Under the contract's terms, the buyer will pay the seller $500 a month for 10 years. The seller will continue to hold legal title, while the buyer will live in the home and pay all real estate taxes, insurance premiums, and regular upkeep costs. What kind of contract do the buyer and seller have
Answer: Land Sales Contract
Explanation:
Land Sales contract are a way to buy a property for people who would otherwise be unable to buy one because they were unable to get a mortgage or are running low in funds.
It works by the buyer paying the seller a certain amount of money for a period of time according to an agreement. During this period of payment, the seller continues to hold the legal rights to the property and then passes it to the buyer when they are finished paying. In this scenario therefore, the seller effectively plays the role of a mortgage bank.

In early January, Burger Mania acquired 100% of the common stock of the Crispy Taco restaurant chain. The purchase price allocation included the following items: $7 million, patent; $5 million, trademark considered to have an indefinite useful life; and $9 million, goodwill. Burger Mania's policy is to amortize intangible assets with finite useful lives using the straight-line method, no residual value, and a five-year service life.
Required:
What is the total amount of amortization expense that would appear in Burger Mania's income statement for the first year ended December 31 related to these items?
Answer:
$1,400,000 per year
Explanation:
DATA
Patent = 7 million with 5years useful life
Trademark = 5 million with an indefinite life
Goodwill = 9million
Amortization =?
Solution
Amortization of patent = Patent Value/ Useful life
Amortization of patent = $7,000,000/5
Amortization of patent = $1,400,000 per year
NOTE: Trademark and goodwill will not be amortized as they have an indefinite useful life. Both Intangible assets will be tested for impairment instead.

Nana Kay Ltd is a multiproduct firm. The revenues of a single product, Germ-D, are GH¢200,000 when 10,000 units are sold. Variable costs are GH¢16 per unit. Direct fixed expenses of GH¢25,000 consists primarily of depreciation on equipment specialised to the product. By what amount will Nana Kay Ltd' cash flow change if the product is dropped? Would you advise Nana Kay Ltd to drop Germ-D
Answer:
Nana Kay Ltd' cash flow will change by GH¢160,000 if the product is dropped.
Explanation:
Variable costs are cost that change as the level of output change. Therefore, no variable cost will be incurred when there is no sales or production. The variable cost of Nana Kay Ltd can be calculate as follows:
Total variable costs = Units sold * Variable cost per unit = 10,000 * GH¢16 = GH¢160,000
Fixed expenses are expenses that remains the same when there is a change in the level of output. Therefore, fixed expenses will still be incurred whether or not there is a sale or production. The direct fixed expenses of Nana Kay Ltd is GH¢25,000.
From the explanation above, it can be seen that only the variable cost will change, will not be incurred or will become zero when Nana Kay Ltd dropped the product. Therefore, Nana Kay Ltd' cash flow will change by GH¢160,000 if the product is dropped.

Lassen bought the machine for $68,000 and has claimed $22,500 of depreciation expense on the machine. What gain or loss does Lassen realize on the transaction
Answer:
Loss of $8,250
Explanation:
Lassen corporation sold a machine to a machine dealer at a price of $37,250
Lassen bought the machine for $68,000
He claimed $22,500 of depreciated expenses on the machine
Therefore, the gain or loss realized on the transaction can be calculated as follows
Gain/loss= Cash received-book value
Book value= Original basis-accumulated depreciation
= $68,000-$22,500
= $45,500
Gain/loss= $37,250-$45,500
= $8,250
Hence Lassen realized a loss of $8,250 on the transaction

Elmhurst Corporation is considering changes to its responsibility accounting system. Which of the following statements is/are correct for a responsibility accounting system.
i. In a cost center, managers are responsible for controlling costs but not revenue.
ii. The idea behind responsibility accounting is that a manager should be held responsible for those items that the manager can control to a significant extent.
iii. To be effective, a good responsibility accounting system must help managers to plan and to control.
iv. Costs that are allocated to a responsibility center are normally controllable by the responsibility center manager.
1. I and II only are correct.
2. II and III only are correct.
3. I, II, and III are correct.
4. I, II and IV are correct.
Answer:
The correct answer is:
I, II, and III are correct (3.)
Explanation:
A Responsibility Accounting System (RAS) is an accounting program that is used to estimate how well departments are managing expenses and controlling costs with the most minimal day-to-day involvement of the executive or the central department. This system puts the departmental manager in charge of the day-to-day control and allocation of expenses and costs. This does not mean the total control of costs by the departmental managers, but controllable costs. Hence, from the lists in the question, the correct attributes associated with RAS are:
i. In a cost center, managers are responsible for controlling costs but not revenue: revenue control is an exclusive reserve of the executive or central department.
ii. The idea behind responsibility accounting is that a manager should be held responsible for those items that the manager can control to a significant extent
iii. To be effective, a good responsibility accounting system must help managers to plan and to control: this emphasises that the RAS doesn't spell complete independence from the executive.
statement iv. (Costs that are allocated to a responsibility center are normally controllable by the responsibility center manager.) is incorrect because costs assigned to a responsibility center is not controlled by the responsibility center manager, but by the departmental manager.
Mighty Manny, Incorporated, manufactures ice scrapers and distributes them across the midwestern United States. Mighty Manny is incorporated and headquartered in Michigan. It has product sales to customers in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. It has sales personnel only in the states discussed and all these states have adopted Wayfair legislation. Determine the state in which Mighty Manny does not have sales tax nexus given the following scenarios:
A. Mighty Manny has sales personnel that visit Minnesota. These sales employees follow procedures that comply with Public Law 86-272. The orders are received and sent to Michigan for acceptance. The goods are shipped by FedEx into Minnesota.
B. Mighty Manny provides design services to another manufacturer located in Wisconsin. While the services are performed in Michigan, Mighty Manny's designers visit Wisconsin at least quarterly to deliver the new designs and receive feedback.
C. Mighty Manny receives online orders from its Illinois client. Because the orders are so large, the goods are delivered weekly on Mighty Manny's trucks.
D. Mighty Manny's trucks drive through Nebraska to deliver goods to Mighty Manny's customers in other states, but the company has no Nebraska sales.
Answer:
Determination of the state in which Mighty Manny does not have sales tax nexus:
A. No sales tax nexus in Minnesota, under given scenario.
B. No sales tax nexus in Wisconsin, under given scenario.
C. Sales tax nexus may exist because of the large orders. It may approach the sales threshold of more than $100,000 worth.
D. No sales tax nexus in Nebraska, with trucks driving through to other sales.
Explanation:
Might Manny is incorporated and headquartered in Michigan, according to this case. So, it has sales tax nexus in Michigan for its physical presence and sales.
Sales tax nexus describes the factors that can make a state to impose sales taxes on a business. The factors that establish sales tax nexus are a) certain business activities, b) physical presence, and c) approaching a certain sales threshold of either 200 transactions or $100,000.
Some states that have adopted the Wayfair legislation determine sales tax nexus with the above mentioned sales threshold of 200 transactions or $100,000. California's sales threshold is $500,000.
However, Public Law 86-272 or Interstate Income Act of 1959 forbids states from imposing unnecessary sales tax burdens on businesses soliciting for sales in their states without physical presence, provided the orders are filled or shipped from outside the said state. But, some of them rely on the Wayfair legislation, as it allows them some leverage to impose sales tax without physical presence of the business.
Gerritt wants to buy a car that costs $31,000. The interest rate on his loan is 5.67 percent compounded monthly and the loan is for 5 years. What are his monthly payments?
Answer:
$594.57
Explanation:
For computing the monthly payment we need to apply the PMT formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Present value = $31,000
Future value or Face value = 0
Rate = 5.67% ÷ 12 months = 0.4725
NPER = 5 years × 12 = 60 years
The formula is shown below:
= PMT(RATE;NPER;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying the formula, the monthly payment is $594.57

Residual income
Answer:
a) ROI = Net operating income / Operating assets
Computation of ROI of each division
Division Working ROI
Trucking ROI $116,000 / $600,000 0.1933 or 19.33 %
Seafood ROI $66,000 / $250,000 0.264 or 26.40 %
Construction ROI $63,000 / $350,000 0.18 or 18 %
b) Residual Income = Net operating Income - ( Operating Asssts * Desired ROI )
Where , Minimum level = ( Operating Asssts * Desired ROI )
Minimum level for Trucking = ($600,000*10 %) = $60,000
Minimum level for Seafood = ($250,000*10 %) = $25,000
Minimum level for Construction = ($350,000 * 10 %) = $35,000

Furniture costing $61,700 is sold at its book value in 2017. Acquisitions of furniture total $50,000 cash, on which no depreciation is necessary because it is acquired at year-end. What is the cash inflow related to the sale of furniture
Answer:
cash inflow = $32,100
Explanation:
there is some information missing:
accumulated depreciation 2016 (furniture) = $9,000depreciation expense 2017 (furniture) = $37,600accumulated depreciation 2017 (furniture) = $17,000we must first determine the book value of the furniture which was sold:
total depreciation related to the sold furniture = $9,000 + $37,600 - $17,000 = $29,600
book value = $61,700 - $29,600 = $32,100
since the furniture was sold at book value, then the cash inflow = $32,100
Cash inflow refers to money being received or earned by the company, while cash outflows refer to money being paid by the company.
If an investment center has a $90,000 controllable margin and $1,200,000 of sales, what average operating assets are needed to have a return on investment of 10%
Answer:
Average operating assets is $900,000
Explanation:
The formula for return on investment stated below is the starting for solving this question:
return on investment= Net operating income / Average operating assets
return on investment is 10%
net operating income is the same as controllable margin of $90,000
Average operating assets is the unknown
10%=90000/average operating assets
average operating assets=90000/10%
average operating assets=$900,000
Elmo Johnson was late on his property tax payment to the county. He owed $7,500 and paid the tax four months late. The county charges an annual penalty of 10%. Find the amount of the penalty for the four-month period.
Answer: $250
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that Elmo Johnson was late on his property tax payment to the county and that he owed $7,500 and paid the tax four months late.
We are further told that the county charges an annual penalty of 10%. The amount of the penalty for the four-month period goes thus:
Annual penalty = 10% × $7500
= 0.1 × $7500
= $750
Since he is four months late and there are twelve months in a year, this will be:
= $750 × 4/12
= $750 × 1/3
= $750/3
= $250
A job was timed for 60 cycles and had an average of 1.2 minutes per piece. The performance rating was 95%, and workday allowances are 10 percent. Determine each of the following:
a. Observed time.
b. Normal time.
c. Standard time.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a) Observation time is
= Average time
= 1.2 minutes
b) The Normal time is
= Observation time × performance rating
= 1.2 minutes × 0.95
= 1.14 minutes
3. The standard time is
= normal time × Allowance factor
where,
Normal time is 1.14 minutes
And, the Allowance factor is
= 1 ÷ (1- A)
= 1 ÷ (1- 0.1)
= 1.11
So, the standard time is
= 1.14 × 1.11
= 1.265 minutes.
"A higher price level will increase the demand for money, but expectations of a rise in the price level will reduce the demand for money." Is this statement true or false according to the monetary approach? Why?"
Answer:
The statement is True
Explanation:
A higher price level is a term that describes an economic condition in which more money is required to purchase a given amount of goods and services, at a given period, tland this leads to inflation overtime.
However, with a higher expected price level, it implies that a decline in the real value of a constant nominal amount of money balances is expected. Thus, there is an high tendency among people to substitute away from holding money and toward holding non-liquid assets whose prices may rise with the in the foreseeable future.

D 75,000 0.20 1.20 0.24
Total 375,000 1.00 1.174
Hence, the portfolio's beta = 1.174
Peyton sells an office building and the associated land on May 1 of the current year. Under the terms of the sales contract, Peyton is to receive $1,763,800 in cash. The purchaser is to assume Peyton's mortgage of $1,058,280 on the property. To enable the purchaser to obtain adequate financing, Peyton is to pay the $105,828 in points charged by the lender. The broker's commission on the sale is $70,552. What is Peyton's amount realized? The amount realized by Peyton is $ .
Answer:
$2,645,700
Explanation:
realized amount = cash received + assumed mortgage - points paid by seller - broker's commission = $1,763,800 + $1,058,280 - $105,828 - $70,552 = $2,645,700
The amount realized includes all the money received and any debts assumed by the buyer, minus any expenses paid by the seller that are related to the transaction.
