The standard deviation of monthly changes in the spot price of live cattle is (in cents per pound) 1.2. The standard deviation of monthly changes in the futures price of live cattle for the closest contract is 1.4. The correlation between the futures price changes and the spot price changes is 0.7. It is now October 15. A beef producer is committed to purchasing 200,000 pounds of live cattle on November 15. The producer wants to use the December live cattle futures contracts to hedge its risk. Each contract is for the delivery of 40,000 pounds of cattle. What strategy should the beef producer follow?
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
The optimal hedge ratio shows the degree of correlation between an asset or liability and the final product.
The optimal hedge ratio = correlation * (standard deviation of monthly changes in the spot price) / (standard deviation of monthly changes in the futures price)
The optimal hedge ratio = 0.7 * (1.2/1.4) = 0.6
The beef producer requires a long position = 0.6 * 200000 lbs = 120000 lbs of cattle.
The beef producer should take a long position in 3 December contracts closing out the position on November 15.

Summit Record Company is negotiating with two banks for a $150,000 loan. Fidelity Bank requires a compensating balance of 26 percent, discounts the loan, and wants to be paid back in four quarterly payments. Southwest Bank requires a compensating balance of 13 percent, does not discount the loan, but wants to be paid back in 12 monthly installments. The stated rate for both banks is 12 percent. Compensating balances will be subtracted from the $150,000 in determining the available funds in part a. a-1. Calculate the effective interest rate for Fidelity Bank and Southwest Bank.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the effective interest rate is shown below:
For Fidelity bank
= (2 × 4 × $150,000 × 0.12) ÷ (4 +1 )× ($150,000 - $18,000 - ($150,000 × 26%)
= 30.97%
For southwest bank
= (2 × 12 × $150,000 × 0.12) ÷ (12+1 )× ($150,000 - ($150,000 × 13%)
= 25.46%

Wang Company accumulates the following adjustment data at December 31.
For each item, indicate the (1) type of adjustment (prepaid expense, unearned revenue, accrued revenue, or accrued expense) and (2) the status of the accounts before adjustment (overstated or understated). (Enter your answers in alphabetical order.)
(1)Type of Adjustment (2) Accounts Before Adjustment
(a) Services performed but unbilled totals $600.
(b) Store supplies of $160 are on hand. The supplies account shows a $1,900 balance.
(c) Utility expenses of $275 are unpaid.
(d) Service performed of $490 collected in advance.
(e) Salaries of $620 are unpaid.
(f) Prepaid insurance totaling $400 has expired.
Answer:
(a)Type of adjustment is accrued revenue. The account was understated before adjustment.
(b) The type of adjustment is prepaid expense. The account was overstated.
(c) The type of adjustment is accrued expense which has been understated.
(d) Adjustment type is unearned revenue. The account was understated.
(e) Salaries of $620 are unpaid. - Adjustment type is accrued expense and the account was understated.
(f) Prepaid expense which was overstated before adjustment.
Explanation:
(a) Services performed but unbilled totals $600 - Since the service has been provided, revenue has been earned and should have been recognized with the corresponding debit to the accrued revenue account. Before adjustment, the accrued revenue account would have been understated.
(b) Store supplies of $160 are on hand. The supplies account shows a $1,900 balance. - This shows that stores supplies of $1,740 (the difference between $1,900 and $160) had been used up and should have been recognized as expense. As such, the type of adjustment is to prepaid expense. The account was overstated before adjustment as the balance should be $160 and not $1,900.
(c) Utility expenses of $275 are unpaid - The adjustment should have been posted to expense and accrued expense. Hence the type of adjustment is accrued expense which has been understated before adjustments.
(d) Service performed of $490 collected in advance - When the advance was collected, unearned revenue should have been recognized. Since it was not recognized before adjustment, the account was understated.
(e) Salaries of $620 are unpaid. - This is an accrued expense as the expense has been incurred but is yet to be paid. A non recognition before adjustment means the account was understated.
(f) Prepaid insurance totaling $400 has expired - This means that the prepaid insurance should have been derecognized since it has expired. As such, the account was overstated before adjustment.

Consider a firm with a marginal cost that initially decreases, but after reaching a minimum then increases with output (that is, the more output is produced, the higher the marginal cost). Suppose the firm is producing in the short run, which implies that there are some fixed costs. Which of the following statements is correct?
a. To produce at the minimum average total cost, the firm must produce more output than it would need to produce at the minimum average variable cost.
b. To produce at the minimum average variable cost, the firm must produce more output than it would need to produce at the minimum average total cost.
c. The level of output that minimizes the average variable cost is also the level of output that minimizes the average total cost.
d. There is no level of output that minimizes the average total cost.
Answer:
a. To produce at minimum average total cost, the firm must produce more output than it would need to produce at the minimum average variable cost.
Explanation:
The total cost of a firm minimizes when a firm produces more units. Variable cost of a firm is lower when there is more output produced. The average total cost includes the average fixed cost also for which output should be more so that total fixed cost is divided to the produced units resulting in lowest possible per unit cost.

15. $ After the adjusting entry has been recorded on December 31", determine the amount of advertising expense for the year ended December 314 16. S After the adjusting entry has been recorded on December 31%, determine the ending balance in the prepaid advertising account that should be recorded on the December 31" Balance Sheet. Use the following transactions to answer questions
17-19 Determine the amount of revenue or expense that would be reported at the time of the transaction under the two methods. An example transaction has been completed for you.
Question Completion:
Journalize the adjusting entry.
Answer:
Adjusting Journal Entry:
December 31:
Debit Advertising Expense $50,000
Credit Prepaid Advertising $50,000
To record the advertising expense for the year (1 month's).
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
December 1: Prepaid Advertising for 4 months = $200,000
Advertising expense for the year (1 month) = $50,000 ($200,000/4 months)
Balance of Prepaid Advertising for 3 months = $150,000 ($200,000 *3/4)
b) The Adjusting Journal entry recognizes the advertising expense that relates to the year and carry forward the prepaid balance to the next accounting year. Expenses and revenue are recorded when the services are consumed or rendered and not when cash is exchanged. In this case, the $200,000 is not recognized as advertising expense for the current year. Instead, only $50,000 is recorded as expense. The balance of $150,000 is carried forward to the next year when the service will be consumed.
Based on Jacobs (1954). The Carter Caterer Company must have the following number of clean napkins available at the beginning of each of the next four days: day 1, 1500; day 2, 1200; day 3, 1800; day 4, 600. After being used, a napkin can be cleaned by one of two methods: fast service or slow service. Fast service costs 50 cents per napkin, and a napkin cleaned via fast service is available for use the day after it is last used. Slow service costs 30 cents per napkin, and these napkins can be reused two days after they are last used. New napkins can be purchased for a cost of 95 cents per napkin. Determine how to minimize the cost of meeting the demand for napkins during the next four days. (Note: There are at least two possible modeling approaches, one network and one nonnetwork. See if you can model it each way.)

What is the total production cost?
Answer:
Total production cost is $43,900.
Explanation:
Total production cost refers to the addition of the direct materials, labor costs, and manufacturing overhead costs that are directly related to the production of a good.
From the question, total production cost can be calculated as follows:
Total production cost = Purchases of merchandise + Freight-in = $40,000 + $3,900 = $43,900
Therefore, total production cost is $43,900.
Madison Inc. stock price moves from $95 to $65 and also pays $7 in dividends at the end of the period. What is the rate of return on Madison Inc. stock over this period as a percent to two places.
Answer:
-24.21%
Explanation:
The rate of return of a stock is the sum of the stock price appreciation and the dividend yield
price appreciation = change in price level = (new price - old price) / old price ($65 - $95) / $95 = -0.3158
dividend yield = dividend / initial price $7/$95 = 0.07368
Rate of return = 0.07368 - 0.3158 = -0.2421 = -24.21%

A freight delivery service is looking at the impact of allowing overtime in their packing-sorting department. For a week they measured the average number of packages sorted during a regular 8-hr shift. The next week they measured the average number of packages sorted during a regular shift with 2 hr of overtime. During the first week (just regular time), the average number of packages sorted was 1,250. During the second week (regular time with overtime), the average number of packages sorted was 1,500.
Required:
a. What was the productivity during the first week?
b. What was the productivity during the second week?
Answer:
a. 31 packages per hour
b. 30 packages per hour
Explanation:
If we consider 5 working days in the week and 8 hours a day in the first week
a. The total hours working in a week = 40
Productivity = 1250/40
Productivity = 31 packages per hour
b. During the second week the hours worked per day = 10
Productivity = 1500/50
Productivity = 30 packages per hour
The total effect of a price change on the amount of a good that a consumer demands can be broken down into two parts: the income effect and the substitution effect. Consider an increase in the price of the good and assume that the good in question is not a perfect substitute or a perfect complement relative to another good. 1st attempt See Hint If the good is normal, then (1) the substitution effect is the demand curve is , (2) the income effect is C , and (3) the slope of If, however, the good is inferior (but not a Giffen good), then (4) the substitution effect is , ,and (6) the slope of the demand curve is D ,(5) the income effect is Finally, if the good is a Giffen good then (7) the substitution effect is (9) the slope of the demand curve is ,(8) the income effect is ______, and (9) the slope of the demand curve is ______.
Answer:
1. negative, 2. negative, 3. negative, 4. negative, 5. positive, 6. negative, 7. negative, 8. positive, 9. positive
Explanation:
In the context, if the given good is normal, then substitution effect effect will be negative as the quantity demanded will decrease with the price for the normal goods. Income effect also becomes negative as the increase in the income will also increase he quantity that is demanded in the case of the normal good. And the demand curve slope will become negative as the substitution effect will overpower the income effect.
However, the substitution effect will be negative when the goods are inferior and the net income will be positive, but the demand curve slope will become negative as the positive income effect is not as large as to outweigh substitution effect.
When the good is Giffen good, the substitution effect will become negative and the income effect becomes positive and the demand curve slope becomes positive.

Explanation:
Neha's opportunity cost to brew a gallon of root beer = 3/2 = 1.5 pizzas
Neha's opportunity cost to make a pizza = 2/3 = 0.67 gallons of root beer
Teresa's opportunity cost to brew a gallon of root beer = 7/5 = 1.4 pizzas
Teresa's opportunity cost to make a pizza = 5/7 = 0.71 gallons of root beer
Opportunity costs are extra costs or benefits lost that result from choosing one activity or investment over another alternative. E.g. in this case, Neha can either make 1.5 pizzas or 1 gallon of root beer during a 3 hour period, but she cannot make both of the together. She must choose one or the other.

Explain which types of market inefficiencies derive from monopolies. Use examples from the textbook to support your claims. Describe the types of inefficiencies that derive from monopolistic competition. Use examples from the textbook to support your claims. How are monopolies and monopolistic competitive firms profitable? Use examples from the textbook to support your analysis.
Answer:
The two types of market structure, monopoly, and monopolistic competition, generate essentially the same two types of market inefficiency:
Charging prices higher than marginal cost, meaning that consumers pay a higher price than they would otherwise in a perfectly competitive market.
Producing a smaller amount of output that in a perfectly competitive market.
The difference is in the degree of the inefficiency: monopolies are more market inefficient, and cause more harm to consumers, while monopolistic competition is a less inefficient market structure, and only causes marginal harm to consumers when compared to the hypothetical results of a perfectly competitive market structure.
The form of market inefficiency that can be derived from monopolies is higher prices.
It should be noted that in a monopoly and a monopolistic firm, consumers pay a higher price for the goods that they purchase. Monopolies cause more harm to the consumers.
Monopolies charge a price that's above the marginal cost. Monopolies and monopolistic competitive firms are profitable since they have the market power to produce few products and charge a higher price.

The gross domestic product (GDP) of the United States is defined as the market value of allfinal goods and services produced within the United States in a given period of time. Based on this definition, indicate which of the following transactions will be included in (that is, directly increase) the GDP of the United States in 2018.
a. An accountant starts a client's 2018 tax return on April 14, 2019, finishing it just before midnight on April 15, 2019. Chocolate Express, a Swiss chocolate company, produces a chocolate bar at a plant in Illinois on December 5, 2018.
b. An elementary school student buys the chocolate bar on December 24. Rotato, a U.S. tire company, produces a set of tires at a plant in Michigan on September 13, 2018. It sells the set of tires to Speedmaster for use in the production of a two-door coupe that will be made in the United States in 2018. (Note: Focus exclusively on whether production of the set of tires increases GDP directly, and ignore the effect of production of the two-door coupe on GDP.)

Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Net export = exports – imports
When exports exceed import there is a trade deficit and when import exceeds import, there is a trade surplus.
Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:
1. services not rendered to oneself
2. Activities not reported to the government
3. illegal activities
4. sale or purchase of used products
5. sale or purchase of intermediate products
The accountant's work would be included in 2019's GDP
The chocolate purchase would be included in GDP as part of consumption expenditure
Tire is an intermediate good in this question and would not be included in GDP
The purchase of the shoe from Vietnam would have no effect on GDP because it decreases net export
