Pilgrim Corporation acquires all of the stock of Sonic Company for $5,000,000 in cash. Sonic's net assets had a book value of $3,000,000 at the date of acquisition. The book values of Sonic's assets and liabilities approximate fair values, except that Sonic reports inventories at $900,000 more than fair value and plant assets at $2,000,000 more than fair value. In addition, Sonic has unrecorded identifiable intangible assets with an estimated fair value of $5,000,000, appropriately capitalized according to GAAP. When recording its investment in Sonic, Pilgrim reports:________.
A. $0. No gain or goodwill resulting from the acquisition
B.$100,000 Gain resulting from the acquisition
C. $1,000,000 Goodwill resulting from the acquisition
D. $3,900,000 Gain resulting from the acquisition
E. $3,900,000 Goodwill resulting from the acquisition
Answer: $100,000
Explanation:
Firstly, we determine the fair value of net asset which will be:
= $3,000,000 - $900,000 - $200,000
= $100,000
The gain that will be gotten from the acquisition and reported by Pilgrim when recording its investment will be:
= Fair value of net asset + Intangible assets unrecorded - Cash paid
= $100,000 + $5,000,000 - $5,000,000
= $100,000

An externality is an (1 point) a intended consequence for a third-party b unintended consequence for a third-party c intended consequence for a second-party d unintended consequence for a second-party
Answer:
unintended consequence for a third-party
Explanation:
Externality is an unintended consequence for a third-party not involved in production or consumption activity
types of externality
A good has positive externality if the benefits to third parties not involved in production is greater than the cost. an example of an activity that generates positive externality is research and development. Due to the high cost of R & D, they are usually under-produced. Government can encourage the production of activities that generate positive externality by granting subsidies.
A good has negative externality if the costs to third parties not involved in production is greater than the benefits. an example of an activity that generates negative externality is pollution. Pollution can be generated at little or no cost, so they are usually overproduced. Government can discourage the production of activities that generate negative externality by taxation. Taxation increases the cost of production and therefore discourages overproduction. Tax levied on externality is known as Pigouvian tax.
Government can regulate the amount of externality produced by placing an upper limit on the amount of negative externality permissible

Madzinga's Draperies manufactures curtains. A certain window requires the following: Direct materials standard 9 square yards at $5 per yard Direct manufacturing labor standard 5 hours at $10 During the second quarter, the company made 1,500 curtains and used 14,000 square yards of fabric costing $69,300. Direct labor totaled 7,600 hours for $80,560.
Required:
a. Compute the direct materials price and efficiency variances for the quarter.
b. Compute the direct manufacturing labor price and efficiency variances for the quarter.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (5 - 4.95)*14,000
Direct material price variance= $700 favorable
Actual price= 69,300 / 14,000= $4.95
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (9*1,500 - 14,000)*5
Direct material quantity variance= $2,500 unfavorable
To calculate the direct labor rate and efficiency variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (5*1,500 - 7,600)*10
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $1,000 unfavorable
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (10 - 10.6)*7,600
Direct labor rate variance= $4,560 unfavorable
Actual rate= 80,560 / 7,600= $10.6

a. Determine the simple price indexes.
b. Determine the simple aggregate price index for the two years.
c. Determine Laspeyres' price index.
d. Determine the Paasche price index.
Answer:
a. We have:
Toothpaste simple price index = 134.54
Shampoo simple price index = 136.47
Cough drops = 263.52
Antiperspirant = 139.11
b. Simple aggregate price index = 158.52
c. Laspeyres’ price Index = 147.09
d. Paasche price index = 150.23
Explanation:
a. Determine the simple price indexes.
Simple price index = (Price of a good in the current / Price of the good in the base year) * 100 ……. (1)
Using equation (1), we have:
Item August 2000 August 2017
Price Quantity Price Quantity
Toothpaste simple price index = ($3.35 / $2.49) * 100 = 134.54
Shampoo simple price index = ($4.49 / 3.29) * 100 = 136.47
Cough drops = ($4.19 / 1.59) * 100 = 263.52
Antiperspirant = ($2.49 / $1.79) * 100 = 139.11
b. Determine the simple aggregate price index for the two years.
Simple aggregate price index = (Total of the current year’s prices of the four commodities / Total of the base year’s prices of the four commodities) * 100 = (($3.35 + $4.49 + $4.19 + $2.49) / ($2.49 + $3.29 + $1.59 + $1.79)) * 100 = 158.52
c. Determine Laspeyres' price index.
Laspeyres’ price Index = Cost of the base quantities of the four commodities at current prices / (Cost of the base quantities of the four commodities at base period prices) * 100 = ((($3.35 * 6) + ($4.49 * 4) + ($4.19 * 2) + ($2.49 * 3)) / (($2.49 * 6) + ($3.29 * 4) + ($1.59 * 2) + (1.79 * 3))) * 100 = 147.09
d. Determine the Paasche price index.
Paasche price index = Cost of the current quantities of the four commodities at current prices / (Cost of the current quantities of the four commodities at base period prices) * 100 = ((($3.35 * 6) + ($4.49 * 5) + ($4.19 * 3) + ($2.49 * 4)) / (($2.49 * 6) + ($3.29 * 5) + ($1.59 * 3) + ($1.79 * 4))) * 100 = 150.23

B. Portfolio B with E(R)=13% and STD=18% c. Portfolio
C with E(R)=10% and STD=10% d. Portfolio
D with E(R)=5.5% and STD=1%
E. None of the above.
Answer:
B. Portfolio B with E(R)=13% and STD=18%

The computation is shown below;
Reward to risk ratio = (15% - 5%) ÷ 20% = 0.5
The porfolio should be in line i.e.
= 0.05 + 0.5 × standard deviation
For portfolio A
= 0.05 + 0.5 × 25
= 17.5%
For portfolio C
= 0.05 + 0.5 × 1
= 5.5%
Portfolio B, the std is 18%
So,
= 0.05 + 0.5 × 18%
= 14%

Eight hundred LCD displays were purchased for July production at a cost of $9,400. Determine the price variance, quantity variance, and total direct materials cost variance for July. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number. Price variance$fill in the blank 1 Quantity variance$fill in the blank 3 Total direct materials cost variance$fill in the blank 5
Answer:
Please see below
Explanation:
1. In order to calculate the Direct material price variance , we would have to use the formula below ;
Direct material price variance
= (Standard price - Actual price) × Actual quantity purchased
= ($12.5 - Actual cost) × 800
= $12.5 × 800 - $9,400
= $10,000 - $9,400
= $600 favourable
2. In order to calculate the direct material quantity variance, we would make use of the formulae below
Direct material quantity variance
= (Standard quantity - Actual quantity) × Standard price
= (770 - 800) × $12.5
= $375 unfavorable
3. The total direct material cost variance for July
= Direct material price variance + Direct material quantity variance
= $600 - $375
= $225 favourable

why microeconomics is useful in business decision making? Explain
Answer:
The study of microeconomics helps the decision makers to analyze and determine how the productive resources are allocated for various goods and services. It also helps in solving the producers' dilemma of what to produce, how much to produce and for whom to produce.
Explanation:
With the help of microeconomic analysis, business firms can forecast their level of demand within the certain time interval. The demand for a commodity fluctuates depending upon various factors affecting it. Thus, business firms and decision makers can determine the level of demand for the commodity.
Microeconomic theories explain various conditions of cost like fixed cost, variable cost, average cost, and marginal cost. Along with this, it also provides an analysis of the short run and long run costs that help the business decision makers determine the cost of production and other related costs, so they can implement policies to cut down cost and increase their level of profit.Microeconomics explains the operating of a free market economy where, an individual producer has the freedom to take economic decisions like what to produce, how to produce, or for whom to produce. Allocation of resources is determined by price or market mechanism i.e. interaction between demand and supply.
Thomas’ family also runs a gourmet food store that sells two main products: Premium Caviar and Goose Foie Gras. They import the Premium Caviar from Russia, and purchase Goose Foie Gras from Upstate New York. The two products are sold in boxes. Thomas gathers the following information:
When Thomas took accounting courses at college, he knows how to do cost-volume-profit analysis pretty well. However, he just remembers how to do the analysis for those companies with only one product. Therefore, he needs your help to calculate the following:
a. What is the business’ weighted-average contribution margin per unit? (show your computation)
b. Calculate the business’ break-even point in units assuming the current sales mix. (show your computation)
c. What will be the number of Premium Caviar and Goose Foie Gras boxes at the break-even level of sales? (show your computation)
d. What is the business’ weighted average contribution margin ratio? (show your computation)
I have it completed... just need to check my work. I would appreciate a response as soon as possible.
a.
Premium Caviar:
Selling price per unit: $50
Variable cost per unit: $25
Contribution margin per unit: $50 - $25 = $25
Goose Foie Gras:
Selling price per unit: $30
Variable cost per unit: $15
Contribution margin per unit: $30 - $15 = $15
How to determine the weighted-average contribution?To determine the weighted-average contribution margin per unit, we need to know the sales mix (the proportion of total sales for each product). Let's assume that the sales mix for Premium Caviar and Goose Foie Gras is 50:50, so half of total sales are for Premium Caviar and the other half for Goose Foie Gras.
The weighted-average contribution margin per unit is calculated by multiplying the contribution margin per unit for each product by the proportion of sales for that product, and then summing those values.
Weighted-average contribution margin per unit = (Contribution margin per unit for Premium Caviar x Proportion of sales for Premium Caviar) + (Contribution margin per unit for Goose Foie Gras x Proportion of sales for Goose Foie Gras)
= ($25 x 0.50) + ($15 x 0.50) = $20
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to know the total fixed costs of the business. Let's assume that the total fixed costs are $100,000.
The break-even point in units is calculated using the following formula:
Break-even point in units = Total fixed costs / Contribution margin per unit
= $100,000 / $20 = 5000 units
c. To calculate the number of Premium Caviar and Goose Foie Gras boxes at the break-even level of sales, we need to know the sales mix. We can use the sales mix we assumed earlier (50:50) and multiply it by the break-even point in units:
Premium Caviar boxes = (Break-even point in units x Proportion of sales for Premium Caviar) = (5000 x 0.50) = 2500 boxes
Goose Foie Gras boxes = (Break-even point in units x Proportion of sales for Goose Foie Gras) = (5000 x 0.50) = 2500 boxes
To calculate the weighted average contribution margin ratio, we need to divide the weighted-average contribution margin per unit by the weighted-average selling price per unit.
Weighted-average selling price per unit = (Selling price per unit for Premium Caviar x Proportion of sales for Premium Caviar) + (Selling price per unit for Goose Foie Gras x Proportion of sales for Goose Foie Gras)
= ($50 x 0.50) + ($30 x 0.50) = $40
Weighted-average contribution margin ratio = Weighted-average contribution margin per unit / Weighted-average selling price per unit
= $20 / $40 = 0.50 or 50%.

When using the formula for calculating the APR, you need to add 1 to one of the values. Which value?
a. the total number of payments
b. amount of loan
c. finance charge
d. number of payment periods in one year
When using the formula for calculating the APR (Annual Percentage Rate), you need to add 1 to the number of payment periods in one year (d).
The APR is a measure of the cost of borrowing money, expressed as a percentage. It takes into account the amount of the loan, the finance charge (the fees associated with borrowing the money), and the number of payments that will be made over the course of the loan.
To calculate the APR, you will need to use the following formula:
APR = (finance charge / loan amount) x (number of payment periods in one year / number of payments) x 100
In this formula, the finance charge is the total amount of money that the borrower will pay to borrow the loan. The loan amount is the principal amount of the loan, or the amount of money being borrowed. The number of payment periods in one year is the number of times that payments will be made over the course of one year, and the number of payments is the total number of payments that will be made over the course of the loan.
By adding 1 to the number of payment periods in one year, you are taking into account the fact that there are typically more than 12 payment periods in a year (for example, if you make monthly payments, there will be 12 payment periods in one year). This ensures that the APR is accurate and reflects the true cost of borrowing the money.
Hope This Helps You!
In calculating the APR, the number to which you add 1 is the number of payment periods in one year, but express as a decimal and not a percent.
Explanation:In the context of calculating the Annual Percentage Rate (APR), you would add 1 to the number of payment periods in one year by converting it from a percent to a decimal. Here is a simple example: If the annual interest rate is 5%, we express it as 0.05, but when we use it to calculate the APR, we add 1 to get 1.05 which is utilized in the formula.

A simple interest calculation provides a useful estimate of what compound interest will be if________. a. the dollar amount is small, b. the dollar amount is large, c. the term is long, d. the term is short
Answer c. the term is long is the wrong answer
A simple interest calculation provides a useful estimate of what compound interest will be if the term is short (option d).
What is simple interest and compound interest?Simple interest is when the amount invested grows at a linear rate. When an amount earns a compound interest, the amount invested grows at an exponential rate. Thus, an account that earns a compound interest grows at a faster rate than an account that earns a simple interest.
The formula that can be used to determine the future value of an account when there is a simple interest is:
Future value = amount invested + interest earned
Interest earned = amount invested x time x interest rate
The formula that can be used to determine the future value of an account when there is a compound interest is:
FV = P(1 + r)^n
Where:
P = amount invested r = interest rate n = number of yearsIt is only in the first year that an account that earns a simple interest and an account that earns a compound interest would have the same value.

The following items are reported on a company's balance sheet: Cash $210,000 Marketable securities 120,000 Accounts receivable (net) 110,000 Inventory 160,000 Accounts payable 200,000 Determine (a) the current ratio and (b) the quick ratio. Round your answers to one decimal place. a. Current ratio fill in the blank 1 b. Quick ratio fill in the blank 2
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
1. Current ration
= Current asset/Current liabilities
Current assets = Cash + Marketable securities + Accounts receivables + Inventory
= $210,000 + $120,000 + $110,000 + $160,000
= $600,000
Current liabilities = Accounts payable = $200,000
Current ratio = $600,000/$200,000
Current ratio = 3:1
2. Quick ratio
= Current assets - Inventory / Current liabilities
= ($600,000 - $160,000) / $200,000
= 2.2 : 1
The following information is taken from the production budget for the first quarter: Beginning inventory in units 1200 Sales budgeted for the quarter 356000 Capacity in units of production facility 402000 How many finished goods units should be produced during the quarter if the company desires 3200 units available to start the next quarter
Answer:
358,000
Explanation:
The number of units to be produced is dependent on the desired closing units, the sales and opening balance
Hence,
Opening balance + Units produced - Sales = Closing balance
Let the goods produced be y
1,200 + y - 356,000 = 3,200
y = 3,200 + 356,000 - 1,200
y = 358,000
The company should produce 358,000 units during the quarter if company desires 3,200 units available to start the next quarter.
