Answer: B. Single member districts and majority winners.
Explanation:
This is a Single member district majoritarian system because that is the only way that Vegetable party would have some seats in the legislature and the Meat party would have none.
In a Single member district majoritarian system, only 1 member will be chosen per district and this would be the person with the majority of votes in the first election process.
In this case therefore, Vegetable party won the majority in some districts that it ran in and Meat did not win the majority in any.
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.
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

Explanation:
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:_______.
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
= $316.80Your company is estimated to make dividends payments of $2.2 next year, $3.8 the year after, and $4.8 in the year after that. The dividends will then grow at a constant rate of 6% per year. If the discount rate is 13% then what is the current stock price
Answer: $58.62
Explanation:
Current stock price = Present value of dividends + Present value of stock with constant dividend
Present value of stock with constant dividend = (Dividend in year 3 * (1 + Growth rate)) / (Discount rate - Growth rate)
= (4.8 * (1 + 6%)) / (13% - 6%)
= $72.6857142857
Current Stock Price = (2.2 / (1 + 13%)) +(3.8 / (1 + 13%)^2) + (4.8 / (1 + 13%)^3) + (72.6857142857/(1 + 13%) ^ 3)
= $58.62
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?
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

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.
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.
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.
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

Calculate the return on total assets for the year 2015.
A. 62.03%.B. 45.79%.C. 50.74%.D. 71.98%.
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%

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.

6. The most current theory was developed by Michael Porter and states that four broad attributes of a nation shape the environment in which local firms compete, and these attributes promote or impede the creation of competitive advantage.
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.

Assume that Atlas Sporting Goods Inc. has $1,040,000 in assets. 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.
a. Compute the anticipated return after financing costs with the most aggressive asset-financing mix.
Anticipated return $
b. Compute the anticipated return after financing costs with the most conservative asset-financing mix.
Anticipated return $
c. Compute the anticipated return after financing costs with the two moderate approaches to the asset-financing mix.
Anticipated Return
Low liquidity $
High liquidity $
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
As energy costs continue to rise, power efficiency is increasingly important. Acme Chemical is evaluating 2 different electric motors to drive a mixing motor and needs to perform a present economy study. The motor will produce 75 hp and will be operated 8 hours per day, 365 days for one year (maintenance will be performed on second shift—assume no down time during operation), after which time the motor will have no value. Select the most economical motor. Assume Acme’ s electric power costs $0.16 per kWh. (1 hp = 0.746 kW).
Motor A Motor B
Purchase price $3,200 $5,900
Annual maintenance cost $250 $450
Efficiency 75% 85%
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
For motor A, efficiency = 75%= 0.75 hence:
[tex]Operating\ cost\ of\ motor\ A=\frac{75\ hp}{0.75} *\frac{0.746\ kW}{hp}*\frac{\$0.16}{kWh} *\frac{8\ hr}{day}*\frac{365\ days}{year} \\\\Operating\ cost\ of\ motor\ A=\$34853[/tex]
Total cost for motor A = operating cost + purchase cost = $34853 + $3200
Total cost for motor A = $38053
For motor B, efficiency = 85% = 0.85
[tex]Operating\ cost\ of\ motor\ B=\frac{75\ hp}{0.85} *\frac{0.746\ kW}{hp}*\frac{\$0.16}{kWh} *\frac{8\ hr}{day}*\frac{365\ days}{year} \\\\Operating\ cost\ of\ motor\ B=\$30753[/tex]
Total cost for motor B = operating cost + purchase cost = $30753 + $5900
Total cost for motor B = $36653
Therefore motor B is more economical since it has a lesser total cost

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.
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.

What is the short-run price elasticity of supply?
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
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.
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

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?
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 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?
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.

To record the purchase of goods on account.
Aug. 30:
Debit Accounts Receivable $2,100
Credit Sales Revenue $2,100
To record the sale of goods on account.
Explanation:
The LIFO inventory costing method determines the cost of goods sold by using the latest units in inventory. This is because the LIFO method assumes that the newest units of goods are sold first. This means that the ending inventory will include the costs of goods purchased earlier than the sales date.
