Answer: brecognizing the difference between producers and consumers
Explanation:
Economics is the part of social studies that helps us for knowing the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services to the targeted customers. it mainly focuses upon the environmental and market factor that helps in the marketing and production of goods and services.
One of the main objectives for the study of economics is to recognize the difference between the producer and the consumers.
Reason:
The main objective of economics is to determine and bifurcate the producer and consumer as they are both different.
The producer is the person who is making the finished goods from the raw materials. The producer takes the raw materials either from the market or from the farmer. The entire cost of goods is determined by the producer by the name of the direct cost of goods.
While the consumer is the final user of the produced items. The consumer is the last person in the product cycle. The consumer has to pay the entire cost and expenses being added by various parties of the product cycle.

The cost C and the revenue R for a brokerage firm depend on the number T of transactions executed. (Both C and R are measured in dollars.) It costs $730 per day to keep the office open, and brokers are paid an average of $25 per transaction. Also, $35 in fees are collected for each transaction. (a) Find a formula that gives C as a function of T. C(T) = (b) Find a formula that gives R as a function of T. R(T) = (c) Find the number of daily transactions that are needed to make the revenue $1200 more than the cost. 33 daily transactions
Answer:
C(T) = $730 + $25T
R(T) = $35T
T = 193 transactions
Explanation:
Given that:
C = cost ; R = revenue ; T = number of transactions
Amount paid per transaction = $25
Cost keeping office open = $730
Amount collected on each transaction = $35
(a) Find a formula that gives C as a function of T.
C(T) = Cost of keeping office open + (cost per transaction × number of transactions)
C(T) = $730 + $25T
(b) Find a formula that gives R as a function of T.
R(T) = (Amount collected per transaction * number of transactions)
R(T) = $35T
(c) Find the number of daily transactions that are needed to make the revenue $1200 more than the cost.
R = C + 1200
Substitute the value of R and C into the equation:
35T = 730 + 25T + 1200
35T - 25T = 730 + 1200
10T = 1930
T = 1930 / 10
T = 193 transactions

Exercise 10-19 (LO. 4) Candlewood LLC started business on September 1, and it adopted a calendar tax year. During the year, Candlewood incurred $6,500 in legal fees for drafting the LLC's operating agreement and $3,000 in accounting fees for tax advice of an organizational nature, for a total of $9,500 of organizational costs. Candlewood also incurred $30,000 of preopening advertising expenses and $24,500 of salaries and training costs for new employees before opening for business, for a total of $54,500 of startup costs. The LLC wants to take the largest deduction available for these costs. If required, round any division to six decimal places and use in subsequent computations. Round your final answers to the nearest dollar. How much can Candlewood deduct as organizational expenses
Answer:
deduction for organizational expenses = $5,000
Explanation:
Since the total startup costs are over $50,000 then the company's deduction will be lower. Generally speaking, a company can deduct up to $5,000 in organizational an startup costs ($5,000 each). But if the costs are over $50,000, then your deduction will be reduced by $1 for each dollar over that threshold.
In this case, organizational costs were $9,500, so they can deduct $5,000 during the first year and $4,500 will be amortized over the next 15 years. Startup costs are $54,500, which means that they can only deduct $5,000 - ($54,500 - $50,000) = $500 during the first year. The remaining $54,000 must be amortized over a 15 year period. Total deduction during the first year = $5,000 + $500 = $5,500

Jason sell appliances at Best Buy. He earns 12% on his total sales for the
week. Last week he made $690.48, what were his total sales for the week?
$3246.38
$1380.96
$5754
$7234.98
Answer:
$5754
Explanation:
Jason earns a 12% commission on total sales.
If he earned $690.48 last week, it means that 690.48 was equivalent to 12% of total sales.
i.e., 690.48 = 12% of total sales
Total sales = 100%
If 12% = 690.48
100% =690.48/12 x 100
=57.54 x 100
=$ 5,754

On January 1, Year 1, the City Taxi Company purchased a new taxi cab for $39,000. The cab has an expected salvage value of $4,000. The company estimates that the cab will be driven 200,000 miles over its life. It uses the units-of-production method to determine depreciation expense. The cab was driven 48,000 miles the first year and 51,000 the second year. What would be the depreciation expense reported on the Year 2 income statement and the book value of the taxi, respectively, at the end of Year 2
Answer:
depreciation expense year 2 = $8,925
book value end of year 2 = $21,675
Explanation:
depreciable value = $39,000 - $4,000 = $35,000
total miles driven = 200,000
depreciation expense per mile driven = $35,000 / 200,000 miles = $0.175 per mile driven
depreciation expense year 1 = 48,000 x $0.175 = $8,400
book value end of year 1 = $39,000 - $8,400 = $30,600
depreciation expense year 2 = 51,000 x $0.175 = $8,925
book value end of year 2 = $30,600 - $8,925 = $21,675

$537,000
Explanation:
The computation of net income for 2021 using full costing is shown below:-
Net income = Sales - Cost of goods sold - Selling and administrative expenses
= (1,200 × 1,200) - (((1,200 × (350 + 220 + 20)) + 112,000) - ((1,200 × 20) + 35,000)
= $1,440,000 - $844,000 - $59,000
= $537,000
So, for computing the net income we simply applied the above formula.

(Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. Use 365 days in a year.) c. How much will you have in the account in 24 years? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. Use 365 days in a year.)
Answer & Explanation:
a. How much will you have in the account in 6 years?
The formula for Compound Interest is;
= Amount deposited ( 1 + rate)^no of periods
Rate is a yearly rate so daily rate is;
= 5.4%/365
No. of periods;
= 365 * 6
= 2,190 days
= 5,100 * ( 1 + 5.4%/365)^2,190
= $7,051.33
b. How much will you have in the account in 12 years?
No. of periods = 365 * 12
= 4,380 days
= 5,100 * ( 1 + 5.4%/365)^4,380
= $9,749.27
c. How much will you have in the account in 24 years?
No. of periods = 365 * 24
= 8,760 days
= 5,100 * ( 1 + 5.4%/365)^8,760
= $18,636.92
Sparky Corporation uses the FIFO method of process costing. The following information is available for February in its Molding Department: Units: Beginning Inventory: 38,000 units, 100% complete as to materials and 55% complete as to conversion. Units started and completed: 123,000. Units completed and transferred out: 161,000. Ending Inventory: 36,500 units, 100% complete as to materials and 25% complete as to conversion. Costs: Costs in beginning Work in Process - Direct Materials: $56,000. Costs in beginning Work in Process - Conversion: $61,850. Costs incurred in February - Direct Materials: $375,730. Costs incurred in February - Conversion: $612,150. Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of conversion.
Answer:
cost per equivalent unit of conversion = $4.10
Explanation:
beginning WIP = 38,000
100% complete for materials
55% complete for conversion, 45% remaining to be completed
units started and completed = 123,000
units completed and transferred out = 161,000 (including 38,000 of beginning WIP)
ending WIP = 36,500
100% complete for materials
25% complete for conversion
equivalent units processed during this period:
materials = 123,000 + 36,500 = 159,500 EUP
conversion costs = (38,000 x 0.45) + 123,000 + (36,500 x 025%) = 149,225 EUP
cost per equivalent unit of conversion = $612,150 / 149,225 EUP = $4.102194672 ≈ $4.10

Calculate D5-6b Company's cost of goods manufactured for the most recent year.
Answer:
cost of goods manufactured= $512,000
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the direct materials used, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead:
Direct material= 82,000 + 148,000 - 68,000= $162,000
Direct labor= 138,000
Overhead= Insurance on the factory building + Indirect materials + Factory supervisor's salary + Property tax on the factory building + Wages paid to factory janitors + Utilities on the factory
Overhead= 22,000 + 53,000 + 64,000 + 13,000 + 40,000 + 37,000
Overhead= $229,000
Now, to calculate the cost of goods manufactured, we need to use the following formula:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 27,000 + 162,000 + 138,000 + 229,000 - 44,000
cost of goods manufactured= $512,000

The controller of Fortnight Co. has requested a quick estimate of the manufacturing supplies needed for the Cleveland Plant for the month of July, when production is expected to be 470,000 units to meet the ending inventory requirements and sales of 475,000 units. Fortnight Co.'s budget analyst has the following actual data for the last three months. Month Production in Units Manufacturing Supplies March 450,000 $723,060 April 540,000 853,560 May 480,000 766,560Using the high-low method to develop a cost estimating equation, the estimate of needed manufacturing supplies for July would be: (CMA adapted)
Answer:
Total cost= $752,060
Explanation:
To calculate the fixed and variable cost under the high-low method, we need to use the following formulas:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (853,560 - 723,060) / (540,000 - 450,000)
Variable cost per unit= $1.45
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 853,560 - (1.45*540,000)
Fixed costs= $70,560
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 723,060 - (1.45*450,000)
Fixed costs= $70,560
Now, the total cost for 470,000 units:
Total cost= 70,560 + 1.45*470,000
Total cost= $752,060

You would like to combine a risky stock with a beta of 1.5 with U.S. Treasury bills in such a way that the risk level of the portfolio is equivalent to the risk level of the overall market. What percentage of the portfolio should be invested in Treasury bills? (Formula: Portfolio beta = w1 * beta 1 + w2 *beta 2; w1+w2 = 1) Round your answer to the integer. Note that the answer needs to be in PERCENTAGE. Weight in stock = Blank 1. Fill in the blank, read surrounding text. 67 % Weight in T-Bill = Blank 2. Fill in the blank, read surrounding text. 33 %
Answer:
33.33%
Explanation:
Let weight of T-bill be x, therefore weight of stock will be 1-x
Portfolio = Weight of stock*Beta of stock + Weight of T-bills*Beta of T-bills
1 = (1-x)*1.5 + x*0
1 = 1.5 - 1.5x
x = 0.5/1.5
x = 0.3333
x = 33.33%
Therefore, the percentage of the portfolio invested in treasury bills is 33.33%.
Paul White, the CFO of Crane Automotive, Inc., is putting together this year's financial statements. He has gathered the following balance sheet information: The firm had a cash balance of $23,015, accounts payable of $163,257, common stock of $313,000, retained earnings of $512,159, inventory of $212,300, goodwill and other assets equal to $78,656, net plant and equipment of $713,500, and short-term notes payable of $21,115. It also had accounts receivable of $141,258 and other current assets of $11,223. How much long-term debt does Crane Automotive have
Answer: $170,421
Explanation:
Using the Accounting equation;
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
Assets = Cash + Inventory + Goodwill and other assets + Net plant and equipment + Accounts receivable + Other current assets
= 23,015 + 212,300 + 78,656 + 713,500 + 141,258 + 11,223
= $1,179,952
Equity
= Common stock + Retained earnings
= 313,000 + 512,159
= $825,159
Liabilities = Assets - Equity
Current Liabilities + Long term debt = Assets - Equity
Long term debt = Assets - Equity - Current Liabilities
= 1,179,952 - 825,159 - (163,257 + 21,115)
= $170,421
Explain the following statement and answer to corresponding question. It is worth 15 points. "In a competitive model without consideration of space (distance) we would expect competition to lead to identical prices but when we include spatial elements we expect competition to lead to different delivered prices." If individuals have to pay a different price for products because they live a different distance from the factory do you think this is an example of discrimination of prices? Why or why not?
Answer:
In marketing, price discrimination refers to selling the same product to different buyers at different prices depending on each buyer's purchasing power or preferences which result in them being able and willing to pay different prices. E.g. a movie theater that charges different prices depending on the age of the movie goers.
In this case, the fact that a factory is located far away from your house might result in a higher price due to delivery costs, but that doesn't meant that it is using price discrimination. E.g. I just purchased a new refrigerator online and I had to pay a delivery fee that increased its price because the seller is from another state. I purchased the refrigerator from that retailer because it lower prices including delivery costs, but someone that purchased it from the same city will probably pay even less than me. But it is just logistics, since I live far away I have to wait 3 days for delivery and pay for it.
Live Forever Life Insurance Co. is selling a perpetuity contract that pays $1,450 monthly. The contract currently sells for $114,000. a. What is the monthly return on this investment vehicle? (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What is the APR? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) c. What is the effective annual return? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
a. 1.27%
b. 15.24%
c. 16.35%
Explanation:
a. What is the monthly return on this investment vehicle?
The formula for the value of a Perpetuity is;
Value = Payment/ rate
Rate = Payment/ Value
Rate = 1,450/114,000
= 0.0127
= 1.27%
b. What is the APR?
APR is the annual rate. The above figure is the monthly rate.
APR = Monthly rate * 12
= 1.27 * 12
= 15.24%
c. What is the effective annual return?
Effective annual return = [1 + (APR/n)]^n – 1
n is the number of compounding periods which is 12 here for monthly compounding.
= [1 + (15.24%/12)]^12– 1
= 16.35%

The CEO would like to see higher sales and a forecasted net income of $1,000,000. Assume that operating costs (excluding depreciation and amortization) are 55% of sales and that depreciation and amortization increase by 6% and interest expenses will increase by 5%. The tax rate, which is 40%, will remain the same. (Note that while the tax rate remains constant, the taxes paid will change.) What level of sales would generate $1,000,000 in net income? If necessary, round your answer to the nearest dollar at the end of the calculations.
Answer:
The numbers are missing, so I looked for a similar question, but the ones I found had different numbers. I hope it can help you understand how to solve this one:
Hermann Industries is forecasting the following income statement:
sales $8,000,000 operating costs excluding depr & amort. 4,400,000 EBITDA $3,600,000 depreciation & amortization 800,000 EBIT 2,800,000 Interest 600,000 EBT 2,200,000 Taxes (40%) 880,000 Net income 1,320,000The CEO would like to see higher sales and a forecasted net income of 2,500,000. Assume that operating costs (excluding depreciation and amortization) are 55% of sales and that depreciation and amortization and interest expenses will increase by 10%. the tax rate, which is 40%, will remain the same. what level of sales would generate 2,500,000 in net income?
We have to first calculate net income before taxes:
net income = net income before taxes x 60%
net income before taxes = $2,500,000 / 0.6 = $4,166,667
now, net income before taxes = EBIT - interests
$4,166,667 = EBIT - ($600,000 x 110%)
EBIT = $4,166,667 + $660,000 = $4,826,667
now it's EBITDA turn:
EBITDA = EBIT + depreciation and amortization
EBITDA = $4,826,667 + ($800,000 x 110%) = $5,706,667
finally:
total sales = EBITDA + operating costs excluding depr & amort., we can replace total sales by X
X = EBITDA + 0.55X
0.45X = $5,706,667
X = $5,706,667 / 0.45 = $12,681,482.22 ≈ $12,681,482
sales level that will result in a $2,500,000 net income = $12,681,482
