Answer:
assuming that this month was extraordinarily long, and had more days than any other month in history, you worked a total of 5 x 40 = 200 hours
Also, due to length of the month, you will earn 200 hours x $13 = $2,600
Generally months tend to have between 20-23 labor days
Suppose there are 500 identical vendors selling T-shirts at an Ozzie Osborneconcert in State College. All vendors pay $5 dollars per T-shirt to their supplierand $20 for the right to sell at the concert. Vendors have no other costs. Atthe end of the day, you (the concert organizer) observe that each vendor sold20 T-shirts and that the price of a T-shirt was $6.00. Is this a perfectly competitive market? Explain
Answer:
yes
It is a perfect competition for the following reasons
It is a perfect competition because there are many sellers
Each seller sells at identical prices
The goods sold is homogenous . All the shirts are the same
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
Consider an economy in which every inhabitant described is unique; no one fits into more than one category. All inhabitants are working-age adults. 3150 people work full-time 2400 people work part-time 400 people aren't working, but are actively looking for jobs on a weekly basis 220 people aren't working, nor are they looking (140 of these used to look, but gave up over a year ago) Calculate the labor force for this economy. Be sure to follow all formatting instructions from the assignment directions.
Answer: 5,950 people
Explanation:
The labor force in a country refers to the number of both employed and unemployed in an economy. Unemployed people by definition are those actively seeking employment which means that discouraged workers and those who are not seeking employment are not included.
Labor force = Working full time + Part time workers + Unemployed
= 3,150 + 2,400 + 400
= 5,950 people
If a government wants to efficiently reduce a widespread negative externality like air pollution, it must know the costs of pollution abatement of the individual polluters. However, this information is difficult to obtain directly. Tradeable emissions permits are one way to solve the asymmetric information problem affecting pollution abatement efforts.
a. Because the permits are tradeable, firms with ___ abatement costs will sell some of their permits to firms with ___ abatement costs.
b. Now consider that even after a firm has sold its permits, it must still reduce its pollution output.
Since those who sell their permits would have ___ abatement costs, the negative externality is reduced at ___ possible cost to society.
Answer:
a). lower, higher
b). lower, lower
Explanation:
The abatement costs may be defined as the cost that is borne by a firm or an organization when it is necessary to remove any undesirable nuisances or any negative byproducts of the process that is created during the production process. It is cost incurred in eliminating a negative externality such as environmental externality like pollution.
In the context, for solving the pollution abatement cost, the tradeable emissions permits as they are tradebale, an organization with a lower abatement cost sells the permits to the higher abatement cost firms.
Even after selling, the firm still have to reduce the pollution output, then the firm that sold the permit would have lower abatement cost and the negative externality is also reduced at the lower possible cost.
I have a group of friends. One thing we have in common is that we all want a Tesla Model 3. We can all afford to buy a Tesla Model 3. However, we are all unwilling to pay the current price for a Tesla Model 3. Thus, my group of friends are not this:_______.

b. a market of potential Tesla customers
Explanation:
As given all friend afford to buy a Tesla Model 3 and unwilling to pay the current price so group of friends is a market of potential Tesla customersA potential market is a group of people from the entire population who show some interest in buying a particular product or service. so correct option is b. a market of potential Tesla customersOn January 1 , 1980 , Jack deposited $ 1 , 000 into bank X to earn interest at a nominal annual rate of j compounded semiannually. On January 1 , 1985 , he transferred his account to bank Y to earn interest at a nominal annual rate of k compounded quarterly. On January 1 , 1988 , the balance at bank Y is $ 1 , 990.76 . If Jack could have earned interest at nominal annual rate of k compounded quarterly from January 1 , 1980 through January 1 , 1988 , his balance would have been $ 2 , 203.76 . Calculate the ratio of k to j .
Answer:
1.25
Explanation:
1000*(1+x)^8 = 2203.76
(1+x)^8 = 2203.76/1000
(1+x)^8 = 2.20376
Taking root of both side
(1+x)^8^(1/8) = 2.20376^(1/8)
1 + x = 1.10381308235
x = 1.10381308235 - 1
x = 0.10381308235
x = 10.38%..............(Equ 1)
1000*((1+y)^5)*((1+x)^3) = 1990.76
1000*((1+y)^5)*1.344889 = 1990.76
((1+y)^5) = 1.48024
Taking root of both side
((1+y)^5)^(1/5) = 1.48024^(1/5)
1+y = 1.08159937381
y = 1.08159937381 - 1
y = 0.08159937381
y = 18.15995%...........(Equ ii)
J = (((1+y)^1/2)-1)*2
J = (((1+0.08159937381)^1/2) - 1)*2
J = (1.039999698947072 - 1)*2
J = .039999698947072 * 2
J = 0.079999397894144
J = 7.9999%
J = 8%
K = (((1+x)^1/4)-1)*4
K = (((1+0.10381308235 )^1/4)-1)*4
K = 10%
So K/J = 10/8 = 1.25

Thad Morgan, a motorcycle enthusiast, has been exploring the possibility of relaunching the Western Hombre brand of cycle that was popular in the 1930s. The retro-look cycle would be sold for $12,000 and at that price, Thad estimates 400 units would be sold each year. The variable cost to produce and sell the cycles would be $9,000 per unit. The annual fixed cost would be $960,000.

a. What is the break-even in unit sales?
Break-even in unit sales _____
b. What is the margin of safety in dollars?
Margin of safety in dollars _____
c. What is the degree of operating leverage? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Degree of operating leverage _____
Answer:
a. Break even in unit sales = $960,000 / $12,000 - $9,000 = $960,000 / $3,000 = 320
b. Margin of safety = ($12,000*400) - ($12,000*320) = $4800000 - $3840000 = $960,000
c. Degree of operating leverage = Contribution / PBIT
Contribution = ($12,000*400) - ($9,000*320) = 4800000 - 2880000 = 1920000
PBIT = 1920000/960,000 = 2
Degree of operating leverage = 1920000/2
Degree of operating leverage = 960,000

The earned rental income would be debited to unearned rent and credit to rental income
A manager hires labor and rents capital equipment in a very competitive market. Currently the wage rate is $12 per hour and capital is rented at $8 per hour. Currently, the marginal product of labor is 60 units of output per hour and the marginal product of capital is 45 units of output per hour is the firm using the cost minimizing combination of labor and capital? If not, should the firm increase or decrease the amount of capital used in its production process?
Answer:
Explanation:
According to the rule of cost minimization, a firm should should employ that quantity f labor and capital for which the marginal rate of technical substitution between capital and labor (MRTSkl) equals the wage rental ratio (w/r). Hence, the cost minimization rules becomes:
(MRTSkl) = w/r
MPl / MPk = w / r
MPl / w = MPk / r
In the case given, substitute the values of the variables and find that
MPl / w = MPk / r
60 / 12 < 45 / 8
5 < 5.625
Since the ratio is not equal, the firm is not using the optimum mix of inputs. On last dollar spent basis, capital is a better deal than labor, and the firm should use less labor and increase the amount of capital in order to minimize costs.
The next dividend payment by Zone, Inc., will be $2.08 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a growth rate of 6 percent forever. If the stock currently sells for $42 per share, what is the required return
Answer:
10.95%
Explanation:
According to the gordon growth model,
the value of stock (price) = dividend / required return - growth rate
42 = 2.08/ r - 0.06
42(r-0.06) = 2.08
2.08/42 = r - 0.06
r = 10.95%

The County legislature approved its 2020 budget. Revenues from property taxes are estimated to be $800,000. The assessed value of all the property in the county is $40 million. The County has received certificates for property tax exemption of consisting of $3 million for homestead exemptions, $1.3 million for veterans, $700,000 for old age, and $5 million for nonprofits. In addition, the County believes all property taxes will be collectible. What property tax rate per $1,000 of net assessed value must the County charge to collect sufficient property taxes to meet its $800,000 estimate?
A. $16 for each $1,000 of net assessed value.
B. $2.67 for each $1,000 of net assessed value
C. $20 for $1,000 of net assessed value
D. $26.67 for each $1,000 of net assessed value
Answer:
The County
The property tax rate per $1,000 of net assessed value that the County must charge to collect sufficient property taxes to meet its $800,000 estimate is:
D. $26.67 for each $1,000 of net assessed value.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Estimated Revenues from Property Taxes = $800,000
Assessed value of property in the county = $40 million
Exempted property in the county:
Homestead = $3.0 million
Veterans = 1.3 million
Old age = 0.7 million
Nonprofits = 5.0 million
Total exemptions = $10 million
Therefore, net assessed value = $30 million ($40 - 10 million)
Chargeable Rate per $1,000 = $800,000/$30,000,000 * 1,000 = $26.67
If social returns to the production of a good are less than private returns, then we can conclude that relative to the social optimum, the good will be Group of answer choices overproduced and overpriced. overproduced and underpriced. underproduced and underpriced. None of these answers are correct underproduced and overpriced.
Answer:
overproduced and under-priced.
Explanation:
If social returns to the production of a good are less than private returns, the good generates negative externality
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.
During April, the production department of a process manufacturing system completed a number of units of a product and transferred them to finished goods. Of these transferred units, 65,000 were in process in the production department at the beginning of April and 260,000 were started and completed in April. April's beginning inventory units were 60% complete with respect to materials and 40% complete with respect to conversion. At the end of April, 87,000 additional units were in process in the production department and were 90% complete with respect to materials and 40% complete with respect to conversion.
Required:
a. Compute the number of units transferred to finished goods.
b. Compute the number of equivalent units with respect to both materials used and conversion used in the production department for April using the weighted-average method.
Answer:
a. 238,000 units
b. Materials = 316,300 units, Conversion Costs = 272,800 units
Explanation:
Units transferred to finished goods = Beginning WIP units + Units Stared - Ending WIP units
therefore,
Units transferred to finished goods = 65,000 + 260,000 - 87,000 = 238,000 units
Calculation of Equivalent units of production in respect to material and conversion costs :
Note : Weighted Average Method is used. This focuses on the extent of work done on the physical units of outputs (Completed units and Ending WIP).
Materials : 238,000 x 100% + 87,000 x 90% = 316,300 units
Conversion : 238,000 x 100% + 87,000 x 40% = 272,800 units

Activity-Based Costing for a Service Business Sterling Hotel uses activity-based costing to determine the cost of servicing customers. There are three activity pools: guest check-in, room cleaning, and meal service. The activity rates associated with each activity pool are $8 per guest check-in, $25 per room cleaning, and $4 per served meal (not including food). Ginny Campbell visited the hotel for a three-night stay. Campbell had three meals in the hotel during her visit. Determine the total activity-based cost for Campbell's visit. $
Answer:
Total allocated costs= $95
Explanation:
To allocate costs to the Campbell visit, we need to use the following formula:
Allocated costs= Estimated activity rate * Actual amount of allocation base
guest check-in= 8
room cleaning= 25*3= 75
served meal= 4*3= 12
Total allocated costs= $95

The full "accounting cycle" which culminates in closing the books and producing financial statements. Discuss the differences between Permanent "real" accounts and Temporary ¨nominal¨ accounts:
1. What type of information is contained in nominal accounts, and what type of information is contained in real accounts?
2. Which financial statement contains the information from nominal accounts and which contains the information from real accounts?
3. Provide an example of real accounts and an example of nominal accounts.
Answer:
The Accounting Cycle: Permanent and Temporary Accounts
1. The information that is contained in the nominal accounts is revenues and expenses, incomes, and losses. The information that is contained in the real accounts is assets, liabilities, and equity.
2. Income Statement and Statement of Retained Earnings contain the information from nominal accounts. Balance Sheet contains information from real accounts.
3. An example of a real account is Accounts Receivable. An example of a nominal account is Service Revenue.
Explanation:
The differences between real or permanent accounts and nominal or temporary accounts are that permanent accounts include assets, liabilities, and equity accounts while temporary accounts include revenues and expenses. Permanent accounts are not closed to a financial period but rolled over from one accounting period to the next. Temporary accounts, on the other hand, are closed in the financial period. They do not roll over to the next period because their net effects are closed to a permanent account (equity).
Break-Even Sales Under Present and Proposed Conditions
Portmann Company, operating at full capacity, sold 1,000,000 units at a price of $189 per unit during the current year. Its income statement is as follows:
Sales $189,000,000
Cost of goods sold (101,000,000)
Gross profit $88,000,000
Expenses:
Selling expenses $16,000,000
Administrative expenses 12,600,000
Total expenses (28,600,000)
Operating income $59,400,000
The division of costs between Costs that vary in total dollar amount as the level of activity changes.variable and Costs that tend to remain the same in amount, regardless of variations in the level of activity.fixed is as follows:
Variable Fixed
Cost of goods sold 70% 30%
Selling expenses 75% 25%
Administrative expenses 50% 50%
Management is considering a plant expansion program for the following year that will permit an increase of $13,230,000 in yearly sales. The expansion will increase fixed costs by $4,500,000 but will not affect the relationship between sales and variable costs.
Required:
1. Determine the total variable costs and the total fixed costs for the current year.

Answer:
Portmann Company1. Total variable costs = $89,000,000
Total fixed costs = $40,600,000
2. a Unit variable cost = $89
b. Unit contribution margin = $100
3. Break-even sales (units) = Fixed cost/Contribution margin per unit
= $40,600,000/$100
= 406,000 units
4. Break-even sales (units) = Fixed cost/Contribution margin per unit
= $45,100,000/$100
= 451,000 units
5. Break-even sales (units) to achieve target profit = (Fixed cost + Target Profit)/Contribution margin per unit
= ($45,100,000 + $59,400,000)/$100
= 1,045,000 units
6. Maximum operating income possible with the expanded plant is:
= $61,900,000
7. Operating income if the proposal is accepted and sales remain at the current level is:
= $54,900,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Sales volume during current year = 1,000,000
Sales price per unit during current year = $189
Income statement is as follows:
Sales $189,000,000
Cost of goods sold (101,000,000)
Gross profit $88,000,000
Expenses:
Selling expenses $16,000,000
Administrative expenses 12,600,000
Total expenses (28,600,000)
Operating income $59,400,000
Variable Fixed
Cost of goods sold 70% 30%
Selling expenses 75% 25%
Administrative expenses 50% 50%
Total variable costs for the current year:
Variable
Cost of goods sold 70% * $101,000,000 = $70,700,000
Selling expenses 75% * $16,000,000 = 12,000,000
Administrative expenses 50% * $12,600,000 = 6,300,000
Total variable costs = $89,000,000
Variable unit cost = $89 ($89,000,000/1,000,000)
Contribution per unit = $100 ($189 - $89)
Total fixed costs for the current year:
Fixed
Cost of goods sold 30% * $101,000,000 = $30,300,000
Selling expenses 25% * $16,000,000 = 4,000,000
Administrative expenses 50% * $12,600,000 = 6,300,000
Total fixed costs = $40,600,000
Projected sales for the next year = $202,230,000 ($189,000,000 + $13,230,000)
Percentage Increase in sales for the next year = $13,250,000/$189,000,000 * 100 = 7%
Fixed costs caused by expansion = $4,500,000
Total fixed costs = $45,100,000 ($40,600,000 + $4,500,000)
Variable costs = $95,230,000 ($89,000,000 * 1.07)
Contribution margin:
Sales $202,230,000
Variable costs 95,230,000
Contribution margin $107,000,000
Expenses:
Fixed costs 45,100,000
Operating income $61,900,000
Sales volume = 1,070,000 units (1,000,000 * 1.07)
Contribution per unit = $107,000,000/1,070,000 = $100
Sales at current level:
Sales $189,000,000
Variable costs 89,000,000

A 5-year corporate bond yields 8.00%. A 5-year municipal bond of equal risk yields 6.50%. Assume that the state tax rate is zero. At what federal tax rate are you indifferent between the two bonds? (Round your final answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:
18.75%
Explanation:
Yield on corporate bonds = 8%
Yield on municipal bonds = 6.5%
Let Tax rate = t
To be indifferent between the two bonds:
6.5% = 8% / (1-t)
(1-t) = 6.5%/8%
-t = 0.8125 - 1
-t = -0.1875
t = 0.1875
t = 18.75%
t the end of the current year, the following information is available for both Pulaski Company and Scott Company. Pulaski Company Scott Company Total assets $ 2,276,500 $ 1,145,500 Total liabilities 882,500 576,500 Total equity 1,394,000 569,000 Required: 1. Compute the debt-to-equity ratios for both companies. 2. Which company has the riskier financing structure?
Answer:
0.63
1.01
Scott company
Explanation:
Debt to equity ratio is an example of solvency ratio.
Solvency ratios measure a firms ability to honour its long term financial obligation
The higher the debt to equity ratio, the higher the financial risk and the weaker solvency is
Debt to equity ratio = total liabilities to equity ratio
Pulaski Company : 882,500 / 1,394,000 = 0.63
Scott company : 576,500 / 569,000 = 1.01

How Much Capital Do You Need to Start Investing?
The motivation for making investments is largely driven by the goals you have. These goals could be short-term such as buying a new car, saving for a down payment or save enough to take a year off and travel. In any situation, the first step is to identifying the amount of capital you need and how much risk are you willing to take for the return you expect.
Jake is a 25-year-old financial consultant whose primary long-term financial goal is to save enough money to comfortably retire. Therefore, he wants to begin an investment plan that will make this a reality within 40 years. He currently has $10,000 saved for this purpose, and he wants to determine the appropriate monthly savings amount that will allow him to reach his goal. He estimates that he can earn an average annual return of 10%, and he would like to save a total of $500,000.

If he invests the $10,000 today, the terminal value of this initial investment in 40 years (earning an average 10% return) will be. This means that he must accumulate the remainingthrough his annual savings plan to obtain the full $500,000. Still assuming an average return on investment of 10%, the additional yearly investment required to reach Shen’s targeted financial goal within 40 years is .
Suppose instead that Jake had no capital saved and thus needed to accumulate the entire $500,000 in the next 40 years. In this case, his annual contribution would have to be___.
When Jake starts with an initial investment of $10,000, the total amount that he ends up contributing to accumulate $500,000 is equal to the initial investment plus the additional yearly payments, for a total of____.
When he starts with no initial capital contribution, the amount he ends up contributing is equal to the sum of all annual contributions you calculated in the no-initial-capital scenario, for a total of___
Once Jake has determined the annual amount he needs to save, the next step toward achieving his goal is coming up with an investment plan.
The appropriate investment plan depends on the investment objective.

B. False
Answer:
How Much Capital Do You Need to Start Investing?
Jake
If he invests the $10,000 today, the terminal value of this initial investment in 40 years (earning an average 10% return) will be $452,580. This means that he must accumulate the remaining through his annual savings plan to obtain the full $500,000. Still assuming an average return on investment of 10%, the additional yearly investment required to reach Shen’s targeted financial goal within 40 years is $107.11.
Suppose instead that Jake had no capital saved and thus needed to accumulate the entire $500,000 in the next 40 years. In this case, his annual contribution would have to be_$1,129.71__.
When Jake starts with an initial investment of $10,000, the total amount that he ends up contributing to accumulate $500,000 is equal to the initial investment plus the additional yearly payments, for a total of_$14,285___.
When he starts with no initial capital contribution, the amount he ends up contributing is equal to the sum of all annual contributions you calculated in the no-initial-capital scenario, for a total of_$45,188__
Once Jake has determined the annual amount he needs to save, the next step toward achieving his goal is coming up with an investment plan.
The appropriate investment plan depends on the investment objective.
A. True
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Age of Jake now = 25
Age of Jake at retirement = 65 (25 + 40)
Retirement savings = $10,000
Expected total savings = $500,000
Period of savings = 40 years
Relevant Future Value Factor = 45.258 (40 years at 10% compounded annually)
With the initial retirement savings of $10,000
Jake must Save Every Year Until 65
Amount to Save Every Year: $107.11
Total Principal: $14,285
Total Interest: $485,715
Without the initial retirement savings of $10,000
Jake must Save Every Year Until 65
Amount to Save Every Year: $1,129.71
Total Principal: $45,188
Total Interest: $454,812
The terminal value of $10,000 in 40 years at 10% interest is:
= $10,000 * 45.258 = $452,580
Balance to save = $500,000 = $452,580 = $47,420
To complete your degree and then go through graduate school, you will need $95,000 at end of each of the next 8 years. Your Aunt offered to put you through school, and she will deposit in a bank paying 4.00% interest a sum of money that is sufficient to provide you with the needed 8 withdrawals of $95,000 each.
Required:
a. How large of a deposit must she make today?
b. How much will be in the account immediately after you make the 3rd $95,000 withdrawal?
c. How much will be in the account immediately after you make all the withdrawals including the last one in 8 years?
d. Now, if you decide to drop out of school today and not make any of the withdrawal, but instead keep your auntâs money, that she deposited today, in the account that is earning 4.00%, how much would you have at the end of 8 years?
Answer:
PMT = $95,000
Rate = 4%
Life = 8 years
a. Amount to be deposited today
= PV(Rate, N, -PMT)
= PV(4%, 8, -95,000)
= $639,610.76
b. Amount in account after 3rd withdrawal
= PV(Rate, N, -PMT)
= PV(4%, 5, -95,000)
= $422,913.12
c. Balance in account after 8th withdrawal
= = PV(Rate, N, -PMT)
= PV(4%, 0, -95,000)
= $0
d. How much would you have at the end of 8 years?
= FV(4%, 8, -639610.76)
= $875,351.49
After graduating from college, you are hired by the Ford automobile company as an economic analyst. For your first project, you are asked to estimate what would happen to the sales of Ford Mustangs as a result of a change in (i) the price of a Chevrolet Camaro, (ii) the price of gasoline, and (iii) consumer incomes. You are given the following elasticities:
price elasticity Of demand for Ford Mustangs= -2.5
Cross-price elasticity between Ford Mustangs and Camaros =1.5
Cross-price elasticity between Ford Mustangs and gasoline= -0.80
Income elasticity of demand for Ford Mustangs= 3.00
a. Suppose the price Of a Camaro falls by 10%. With all else being equal, sales of Ford Mustangs would______ by_______%
b. If the price of gasoline increases by 20%, the quantity of Ford Mustangs would _________by_______%
Answer:
a. Decrease by 15%
b. decrease by 16%
Explanation:
a. As we know that
Camaro and ford mustangs would be considered as a substitute goods as the cross price elasticity of demand comes in positive so in the case when the price of camaro decrease so the quantity of Mustang would also decreased by 1.5 ×10% = 15%
b. As we know that Gasoline and mustang would be considered as complementary goods so if the price of gasoline would increase by 20% so the quantity of mustang be decreased by 0.80 × 20% = 16%
