The reason that we want to develop a confidence interval for the population mean is because:_____.
1. the sample mean is an efficient estimate of the population mean.
2. the chance that the sample mean is equal to the population mean is zero.
3. the sampling distribution of the sample mean is normally distributed.
4. the standard error of the sample mean is an efficient estimate of the population error.
5. the value of the sample mean varies from sample to sample.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

3. the sampling distribution of the sample mean is normally distributed.

5. the value of the sample mean varies from sample to sample.

Explanation:

We develop confidence interval for population mean because

a. the sampling distribution of the sampling mean is normally distributed. For us to do this we must first ensure that the sample mean is large enough

B. The value of the sample mean is not the same for all samples it varies from sample to sample. Therefore it it is better that an internal is given with the probability that the parameter falls into it.

H. Cochran, Inc., is considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2.15 million. The fixed asset qualifies for 100 percent bonus depreciation. The project is estimated to generate $2.23 million in annual sales, with costs of $1.25 million. The project requires an initial investment in net working capital of $150,000, and the fixed asset will have a market value of $185,000 at the end of the project. Assume that the tax rate is 23 percent and the required return on the project is 14 percent.
What is the project’s NPV?

Answers

Answer:

The net present value (NPV) of the project is $2,266,552.

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the NPV of this project.

The following explanation and the formula are employed in the attached excel file.

Net present value (NPV) is calculated by deducting the present value of cash outflows from the present value of inflows of cash over a certain time period.

Also, present value (PV) can be described as the current value of a future sum of money or stream of cash flows given a specific return rate.

The following is the formula for calculating the PV:

PV = FV / (1 + r)^n

Where,

FV = Future value = Total future cash flow for each year ascalculated in the excel file

r = required return rate = 14%

n = Each relevant year

Five hundred small almond growers operate in areas with plentiful rainfall. The marginal cost of producing almonds in these locations is given by MC = .02Q, where Q is the number of crates produced in a growing season. Three hundred almond growers operate in drier areas where costly irrigation is required. The marginal cost of growing almonds in these locations is given by MC = .04Q.
A. What is the individual supply curve for each type of almond grower?
B. "Add up" the individual supply curves to derive the market supply curve.
C. If the market demand for almonds is Qa = 105,000 – 2,500P, what will the equilibrium price of almonds be?
D. How many almonds will each type of almond grower produce at that price?
E. Find producer surplus by each type of grower.
F. Find producer surplus by the entire market.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Where Price equals marginal cost ( MC ) , supply will be made .

A ) Supply curve for rainfed area  almond growers

P = .02 Q

Q = 50 P

Supply curve for drier area growers

P = .04 Q

Q = 25 P

B ) No of growers of rainfed area = 500

no of growers of dry area = 300

Total supply = Qs = 50 P x 500 + 25 P x 300

= 25000 P + 7500 P = 32500 P

C )

Market demand Qa = 105000 - 2500 P

For equilibrium Qa = Qs

32500 P = 105000 - 2500 P

35000 P = 105000

P = 3

D ) Qs = 32500 x 3 = 97500 .

E ) amount by rainfed growers

= 500 x 50 x 3 = 75000

amount by dry area growers = 300 x 25 x 3 = 22500

In 1990, Ivanhoe Company completed the construction of a building at a cost of $800,000 and first occupied it in January 1991. It was estimated that the building would have a useful life of 40 years and a salvage value of $24,000 at the end of that time. Early in 2001, an addition to the building was constructed at a cost of $200,000. At that time, it was estimated that the remaining life of the building would be, as originally estimated, an additional 30 years, and that the addition would have a life of 30 years and a salvage value of $8,000.

In 2019, it is determined that the probable life of the building and addition will extend to the end of 2050, or 20 years beyond the original estimate.

Required:
a. Using the straight-line method, compute the annual depreciation that would have been charged from 1991 through 2000:
b. Compute the annual depreciation that would have been charged from 2001 through 2018.
c. Prepare the entry, if necessary, to adjust the account balances because of the revision of the estimated life in 2019.

Answers

Answer:

(a) 19,400 dep expense for building 1991-2000 period

(b) 25,800 dep expense for building 2001-2018 period

(c) no entry required as this additional information arises during this year and wasn't available in the previous year. It wasn't a lack of sufficient information or accoutning mistake that produced.

Explanation:

(a)

cost - salvage value / useful life = depreication per year

(800,000 - 24,000) / 40 = depreciation expense per year

dep expense 19,400

(b)

building book value:

cost - accumulated depreciation

800,000 - 19,400 x 10 years = 606,000

addtional construction              200,000

total value                                 806,000

salvage value: 24,000 + 8,000= 38,000

useful life      30 years

deprecation expense betwene 2001 and 2018 related to building

(806,000 - 32,000 ) / 30 years = 25,800

Trade Theories, a Historical Approach
Read the overview below and complete the activities that follow.
Free trade refers to a situation where a government does not attempt to influence through quotas or duties what its citizens can buy from another country, or what they can produce and sell to another country. The economic arguments surrounding the benefits and costs of free trade in goods and services are not abstract academic ones. International trade theory has shaped the economic policy of many nations for the past 50 years.
The textbook reviews six main trade theories: Adam Smith's theory of absolute advantage; David Ricardo's theory of comparative advantage; the Heckscher-Ohlin theory and the product life-cycle theory, which extend various aspects of Ricardo's theory; the new trade theory explaining the benefits from trade without national differences in resource endowments or technology; and Michael Porter's theory of national competitive advantage that draws attention to an international success in a particular industry. All these theories identify the specific benefits of international trade, help to explain the patterns of international trade, and government trade.
Match the correct theory with its corresponding description and time period in the evolution of international trade theory.1.

D. National competitive advantage theory.

Explanation:

These various trade theories show where the world trade is coming from and where it is now.   Indeed, it has come from a long place.  Adam Smith commenced discussions on economic theories by first discussing the wealth of the nation.  Currently, international trade is deviled by many national intrigues hindering free trade, including the threats posed by growing Chinese hegemony and national fears triggered by that country's unconventional trade practices.

The gain on the disposal of equipment is recognized when: Multiple Choice The book value of the equipment is greater than the value received. The book value of the equipment is less than the value received. A salvage value exists. A gain should not be recognized on the disposal of an asset.

Answers

Answer:

The correct option:The book value of the equipment is less than the value received

Explanation:

The gain on the disposal of an equipment will be recognized when the book value of the equipment which is the amount in which the equipment was bought is LESS or lower than the value received. Example if the book value of an equipment before disposal is $150,000 in which the equipment was later dispose off at the value of $200,000 which means that the amount of $200,000 will be the value or the amount that will be recognized because the book value amount of $150,000 is less than the value received which is $200,000 making us to have a gain of $50,000 on the Equipment which is calculated as:

Gain on disposal= Book value -Value received

Gain on disposal =$150,000-$200,000

Gain on disposal =$50,000 will be recognized

Two alternatives are under consideration. The first alternative will cost $100,000, require $20,000 in maintenance and operation costs each year, and a life cycle of 4 years. The second alternative will cost $300,000, require $5,000 in maintenance and operation costs each year and a life of 6 years. Neither option will have a salvage value. In order to compute the present worth or future worth, how many years of each alternative should I use to accurately compare the two alternatives.

Answers

Answer:

12 years

Explanation:

Since the life of two alternatives are unequal, for comparison using present or future worth method, we have to take Least Common Multiple(LCM) of the life of the alternatives. Here, the LCM of 4 and 6 = 12 years.  Thus, in order to compute the present worth or future worth, 12 years of each alternative I should use to accurately compare the two alternatives.

Lupo Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. The company based its predetermined overhead rate for the current year on the following data:_______. Total machine-hours 30,300 Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $575,700 Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour $ 4.00 Recently, Job T687 was completed with the following characteristics:_______. Number of units in the job 10 Total machine-hours 30 Direct materials $ 730 Direct labor cost $1,460 If the company marks up its unit product costs by 40% then the selling price for a unit in Job T687 is closest to:_______.

Answers

Answer: $316.80

Explanation:

First the total cost for the product = Direct material + Direct labor + Total overhead

Total Overhead;

Estimated Variable Overhead = 4 * 30,300 =  $‭121,200‬

Total Overhead = Estimated Variable Overhead + Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost

= ‭121,200‬ + 575,700

= $‭696,900‬

Predetermined Overhead rate = Total Overhead/ Machine hours = ‭696,900‬/30,300

= $23 per hour

Overhead for Job T687 = 23 * 30 = $‭690‬

Total cost = 730 + 1,460 + 690

= $‭2,880‬

Sales price with 40% markup = 2,880 * (1 + 40%)

= $‭3,168‬

Selling price per unit in Job T687;

= ‭3,168‬/10

= $316.80

Emily Lim owns and runs an ice cream parlor in San Diego. Last year, she had sales of $490,000 and an average tax rate of 32%. She spent $49,000 on ingredients, $24,500 on utilities, and $88,200 to rent the premises. Emily has a few employees and paid them $98,000 in wages in total. She also paid herself a salary of $73,500 and spent $49,000 to pay for employee benefits. A few years ago, Emily borrowed money to buy the ice making equipment. Last year, she paid $24,500 in interest on that loan. Depreciation for the equipment was $14,700.

Required:
a. What was operating income (EBIT) for the year?
b. What was net income for the year?

Answers

Answer:

1). EBIT = Sales - Expenses - Depreciation

= $490,000 -($49,000 - $24,500 - $73,500 - $98,000 - $73,500 - $49,000) - $14,700

= $490,000 - $367,500 - $14,700

= $107,800

2. Net Income = [EBIT - Interest] x [1 - t]

= ($107,800 - $24,500) *(1 - 32%)

= $83,300 * 0.68

A.​ 62.03%.B.​ 45.79%.C.​ 50.74%.D. ​71.98%.

Answers

Answer: 61.84%

Explanation:

The Return on Assets is a ratio that measures how effectively assets are being utilized to earn revenue.

The formula is;

Return on total Asset = Operating Income /Average Total assets

Operating Income = Net Income + Interest expense = 181,000 + 24,000 = $205,000

Average Total Assets = (Beginning Assets + Ending Assets) / 2 = (406,000 + 257,000) / 2 = $331,500

Return on Assets = 205,000/331,500 = 61.84%

Reese, a calendar-year taxpayer, uses the cash method of accounting for her sole proprietorship. In late December, she received a $17,000 bill from her accountant for consulting services related to her small business. Reese can pay the $17,000 bill anytime before January 30 of next year without penalty. Assume Reese’s marginal tax rate is 32% this year and will be 37% next year, and that she can earn an after-tax rate of return of 11% on her investments.
A. What is the after-tax cost if she pays the $31,000 bill in December?
B. What is the after-tax cost if she pays the $31,000 bill in January?

Answers

Answer:

$11,560

$5666.661

Explanation:

Given the following :

Bill received from accountant = $17,000

This year's marginal tax rate = 32%

Next year's marginal tax rate = 37%

After tax return on investment = 11%

After tax cost of bill is paid in December :

Billed amount * this year's tax rate

$17,000 * ( 1 - 0.32)

= $17,000 * 0.68

= $11,560

B) After tax cost of bill was paid in January:

Billed amount * next year's tax rate * PV factor

From the present value factor table;

PV factor (1 years, 11%) = 0.9009

Hence,

$17,000 * 0.37 * 0.9009 = $5666.661

If it goes with a low-liquidity plan for the assets, it can earn a return of 14 percent, but with a high-liquidity plan the return will be 11 percent. If the firm goes with a short-term financing plan, the financing costs on the $1,040,000 will be 8 percent, and with a long-term financing plan the financing costs on the $1,040,000 will be 9 percent.

Answers

Answer:

A. Anticipated return= $62,400

B. Anticipated return= $20,800

C. Low liquidity Anticipated return=$52,000

High liquidity Anticipated return=$31,200

Explanation:

a. Computation for the anticipated return after financing costs with the most aggressive asset-financing mix.

Anticipated return=($1,040,000*14%)-($1,040,000*8%)

Anticipated return= $145,600-$83,200

Anticipated return= $62,400

b. Computation for the anticipated return after financing costs with the most conservative asset-financing mix.

Anticipated return=($1,040,000*11%)-($1,040,000*9%)

Anticipated return= $114,400-$93,600

Anticipated return= $20,800

c. Computation for the anticipated return after financing costs with the two moderate approaches to the asset-financing mix.

Anticipated Return

Low liquidity =($1,040,000*14%)-($1,040,000*9%)

Low liquidity =$145,600-$93,600

Low liquidity =$52,000

High liquidity =($1,040,000*11%)-($1,040,000*8%)

High liquidity =$114,400-$83,200

High liquidity =$31,200

Five years ago, Diane secured a bank loan of $310,000 to help finance the purchase of a loft in the San Francisco Bay area. The term of the mortgage was 30 years, and the interest rate was 8%/year compounded monthly on the unpaid balance. Because the interest rate for a conventional 30-year home mortgage has now dropped to 6.5%/year compounded monthly, Diane is thinking of refinancing her property.

Required:
a. What is Diane's current monthly mortgage payment?
b. What is Diane's current outstanding principal?
c. If Diane decides to refinance her property by securing a 30-year home mortgage loan in the amount of the current outstanding principal at the prevailing interest rate of 6.5%/year compounded monthly, what will be her monthly mortgage payment?
d. How much less will Diane's monthly mortgage payment be if she refinances?

Answers

Answer:

a. Mortgage amount = Present value of annuity of monthly payment

Present Value of annuity = P*PVAF(rate,time)      

where P = monthly payment=?

t = time in months=30*12=360 months

r = interest rate = r= 0.08/12=0.006667

Calculation of PVAF(0.6667%,360)        

PVAF(rate,time) =  1-(1+r)^-n]/r      

PVAF(0.6667%,360) = [1-(1+0.006667)^-360]/0.006667    

= [1-(1.006667)^-360]/0.006667      

= [1-0.0.908568]/0.006667      

= 0.908568/0.006667      

= 136.2784    

$310,000 = P*136.2784

$310000/136.2784 = P

$2,274.76 = P(monthly payment)        

Monthly payment on existing loan = $2,274.76

b. Outstanding principle = Present value annuity of monthly payment for 25 years(300 months)

= $2274.76*PVAF(0.6667%,300months)    

= $2274.76*129.5601      

= $ 294,718.13        

PVAF (0.6667%,300) can be calculated as above has been calculated      

c) If Diane refinances, New monthly mortgage for new 30 year(360 month) loan on outstanding balance at 6.5% per year or 6.5%/12 =0.5417%

$294,718.13 = P*PVAF(0.5147%,360)

$294,718.13 = P*163.6826

$294718.13/163.6826 = P

$1,800.55 = P(monthly payment)

The new monthly payment will be $1800.55

 

d) Difference in monthly payment = Old monthly payment-new monthly payment

= $2274.76 - $1800.55      

= $474.21        

However the new mortgage is for 30 years from today.

What is the short-run price elasticity of supply?

Answers

Answer :

Meaning & formula of short run price elasticity of supply,  its numerical example as per given case

Explanation:

Short Run Price Elasticity of Supply denotes the proportionate change in quantity supplied due change in price. Price & quantity supplied  change in same directions, as per law of supply.

In given case, increase in price of haircut increases the quantity supplied of the service of haircut, by more per labour service rate or more labour.

Short Run price elasticity of supply = percentage change in quantity supply/  percentage change in price =

Eg : If price increases from 5 to 10, & 5 workers' haircut increase from 4 to 6 haircuts for each worker, then total haircuts increase from 4 x 5 = 20 to 6 x 5 = 30

Short Run Price Elasticity of supply = 100/50 = 2
