01) A firm faces the following relationship between the real wage it pays and the effort exerted by its workers. The marginal product of labor for this firm is given by MPN = E (100 - N)/9. How many workers will the firm employ? A) 96 B) 92 C) 88 D) 80

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Marigold Company estimates that annual manufacturing overhead costs will be $865,920. Estimated annual operating activity bases are direct labor cost $492,000, direct labor hours 49,200, and machine hours 98,400.

To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Direct labor cost:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 865,920/492,000= $1.76 per direct labor dollar

Direct labor hour:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 865,920/49,200= $17.6 per direct labor hour

Machine-hours:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 865,920/98,400=$8.8 per machine hour

Answer:

80%

Explanation:

For computing the return on investment first we have to need the following calculations

New contribution margin = Old contribution margin + increase  in contribution margin

= $260,000 + $30,000

= $290,000

And,

Net Income = Contribution margin - Total direct fixed costs

= $290,000 - $90,000

= $200,000

ROI = Net income ÷  average operating assets

= $200,000 ÷ $250,000

= 80%

Answer:

s3

Explanation:

Adopting s1 will result in delivery time of 8 weeks when Creative Robotics is busy as per maximin criteria and maximax criteria.

Adopting s3 will result in delivery time of 6 weeks when Creative Robotics is busy as per minimax criteria.

In this scenario, minimax criteria must be used to make decision as worst loss is to be estimated.

Answer:

Excess of investment center income over the minimum return set by the management.

Explanation:

Residual income can be defined as the continuous flow of cash after a particular work/task has been completed. This means an individual continuous to get payment after a work is done. This includes the amount of money that is acquired from business investments, royalties gotten from a published article or book, renting of an apartment, creating an application, working with different affiliates.

Residual income enables an individual to work on other business opportunities while still earning money from the previous efforts.

Answer:$27.78

Explanation:

Expected value of debt after one year = (40* .60)+(15*.40)

= 24 + 6

=$ 30

Current value of debt = Value at 1year / (1+r)^n

= 30/ (1+.08)^1

= 30 / 1.08

=$ 27.78

The current value of the TL Company's outstanding debt, with an 8 percent market interest rate, is calculated to be approximately $27.78, based on expected payoffs and individual probabilities.

The current value of the outstanding debt can be calculated using the expected payoff and the market interest rate. The calculation method involves deriving the expected payoff by multiplying each scenario's payoff by the probability, then adding these up, and finally dividing by the interest rate. The expected payout on the debt that the TL Company has is $40*0.6 (probability firm does well) + $15*0.4 (probability firm does poorly) = $24 + $6 = $30. Given an interest rate of 8 percent, the current value of the debt would be $30 divided by 1.08 (the interest rate expressed as a decimal plus 1), Equalling approximately $27.78.

Answer:

Detailed workings are in the explanations.

Explanation:

August 1

On August 1, Ling Harvey entered into a forward contract to purchase 400000 ringgits in 3 months at a forward rate of $0.60.

If Ling Harvey has to pay 400000 ringgits now, total outflow would be $ 240000 (400000*0.60) and in forward contract it has to pay $ 240000 also (400000*0.60), so ling harvey has not incurred any loss

So, there is a firm commitment to pay $ 240000 on October, 31

For entering into a forward contract, there will be no entry.

On September, 30

Forward contract rate has increased to 0.66 from 0.60 (august, 1), so there is a increase in the fair value of the Forward Contract. Earlier its value was $240,000 on Aug,1 but now its value is $ 264,000, so there is a increase in fair value by $24,000

Since this $24000 will be realized on Oct, 31, we will book it today at present value

Present value = $24000*0.9901= $23,762.4

Journal entry would be  as follows:

Debit: Forward Contract a/c  $23,762.4

Credit: Gain on Forward Contract $23,762.4

Now, the spot rate determines the fair value of Commitment, so there is an increase in fair value of firm commitment by (0.63 - 0.60) * $400,000 =$12,000.

0.63 is the spot rate on September, 30

Since our Firm commitment value increased by $12,000, we need to book it at present value .

Present Value = $12,000*0.9901=$11,881.2

Journal Entry is as follows:

Debit: Loss on Firm Commitment a/c $11,881.2

Credit: Firm Commitment $11,881.2

So its effect on Net income is as follows:

Debit: Gain on Forward Contract a/c $23,762.4

Credit: Loss on Firm Commitment $11,881.2

Credit: Retained Earnings $11,881.2

On October 31

Today spot rate is 0.68, so the value of the forward contract when compared to its value on Aug 1

= (0.68 - 0.60) *$400,000

= $32,000

So there is an increase in Forward Contract Value by $32,000, since we have already booked $23,762.4, we will book the additional value $82,37.6 as follows:

Debit: Forward Contract a/c $8,237.6

Credit: Gain on Forward Contact $8,237.6

So, the Firm Commitment value has also increased from 0.60(Aug 1) to 0.68

Increase in value = (0.68-0.60) *$400,000 = $32,000

As we have already booked a liability of $11,881.2, we will be book the additional increase in value of $20,118.8 as follows

Debit: Loss on Firm Commitment a/c $20,118.8

Credit: Firm Commitment $20,118.8

So, its effect on Net Income is as follows

Debit: Gain on Forward Contract a/c $8,237.6

Debit: Retained Earnings a/c $11,881.2

Credit: Loss on Firm Commitment $20,118.8

So the total effect on Net income is 0, as on Sept 30 retained earnings has been credited by $11881.2 and on Oct 31, it has been debited by $11881.2... This is due to as there was no difference between spot rate & forward rate on August 1

As on 31st October, there is a debit balance of $32,000 in Forward Contract & credit balance of $32000 in Firm commitment.

Entry for Goods received & payment to foreign supplier is as follows

Debit: Inventory (At spot rate on Aug 1) $240,000

Debit: Firm Commitment (offset) $32,000

Credit: Forward contract (offset) $32,000

Credit: Cash (At forward rate on Aug 1) $240,000

The net cash outflow to foreign supplier is $240,000.

Most loan agreements include a clause that the lender shall have the power to make the loan due and payable immediately if a covenant is violated.

Answer:

9.25 years

Explanation:

Price of the bond is the present value of all cash flows of the bond. These cash flows include the coupon payment and the maturity payment of the bond. Price of the bond is calculated by following formula:

According to given data

Assuming the Face value of the bond is $1,000

Coupon payment = C = $1,000 x 6.3 = $63 annually = $31.5 semiannually

Current Yield = r = 8.49% / 2  = 4.245% semiannually

Market value = $767.50

Market Value of the Bond = $31.5 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 4.425% )^-n ) / 4.425% ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 4.425% )^n ]

Market Value of the Bond = $31.5 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 4.425% )^-n ) / 4.425% ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 4.425% )^n ]

n = 18.53 / 2

n = 9.25 years

Answer:

27.85years

Explanation:

Nper = ? (indicates the period)

PV = 767.50 (indicates the price)

FV = 1000 (indicates the face value)

Rate = 8.49%/2 (indicates semi-annual YTM)

PMT = 1000 x 6.30% x 1/2 = 31.50 (indicates the amount of interest payment)

Period = Nper(Rate,PMT,PV,FV)/2 = Nper(8.49%/2,31.50,-767.50,1000)/2 = 27.85 Years

Answer:

Record of transaction is given below

Explanation:

given data

Selling price of goods =  $900

Cost of goods sold = $590

solution

we get here Record of transaction in Rita Company that is

Inventory accounts   Dr   $900

Account payable    Cr      $900

and

Record of transaction in Linus Company is

Account receive able  Dr  $900

Sales revenue              Cr  $900

and

Cost of goods sold    Dr   $590

Inventory                    Cr    $590

To record the purchase and sale in Rita Company’s ledger using a perpetual inventory system, two transactions are made. First is the purchase of merchandise on account from Linus Company, second is the sale of the merchandise to Ellis for cash. This results in a gross profit of $310 for Rita Company.

The subject of the student's question involves recording business transactions using a perpetual inventory system for Rita Company. The example provided to help the student understand how to record transactions is:

Rita Company buys merchandise on account from Linus Company for $590. Then, Rita sells the goods to Ellis for $900 cash. The tabular summary to record these transactions would involve two components: the purchase transaction and the sales transaction.

Transaction 1 (purchase on account):

- Inventory $590

- Accounts Payable $590

Transaction 2 (sale for cash):

- Cash $900

- Sales Revenue $900

- Cost of Goods Sold $590

- Inventory $590

After these entries, Rita Company would see an increase in cash by $900, an increase in cost of goods sold by $590, and a decrease in inventory by $590, resulting in a gross profit of $310 from the sale ($900 - $590).

Answer:

First one

Explanation:

1) $1100

2) 0.5(1000) + 0.5(1200)

= $1100

3) 0.5(200) + 0.5(2000)

= $1100

Since all expected values are equal.

He should go for the first one, to avoid risks

Answer:

Dwight Eisenhower sending federal troops to escort African American students to their new schools

Explanation:

Based on an 1879 law, the board of Education in Topeka, Kansas operated separate elementary schools for white and African-American students in Communities with more than 15,000 residents.

The Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United states  constitution prohibits states from segregation public school students on the basis of race.

This marked a reversal of the "separate but equal" doctrine from Plessy v, Fergusson that had permitted separate schools for white and coloured children provided that the facilities were equal.

Answer:

The answer is option B. Dwight Eisenhower sending federal troops to escort African American students to their new schools was the action that lead to the eventual implementation of Brown vs. Board of Education in the South.

Explanation:

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously that racial segregation in public schools violated the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which prohibits the states from denying equal protection of the laws to any person within their jurisdictions on may 17, 1954.

But this decision was not implemented. Over three years later on on September 4, 1957,  the Arkansas National Guard was directed by Governor Orval Faubus to block the black students' entry into the high school.

Then, Eisenhower sent in federal troops to escort the Little Rock Nine into the school ans it drew national attention to the civil rights movement which eventually led to the implementation of  Brown vs. Board of Education in the South?

Answer:

B. $12,000

Explanation:

Since it is given that

The invoice received for $12,000 with terms of 2/10, n/30 i.e 2 % discount is given if payment is made within 10 days and the net credit period allowed is 30 days

Plus if there is any delay then it would charge 1.5% per month

Now if Sarah pays this bill on June 15, so she sends the check for $12,000 as neither she is eligible for a discount as the payment is 5 days exceeded nor she paid any charged as she paid within 30 days  

Therefore, she sends the check for $12,000 only

Answer:

The price per ticket should be $37.5

Explanation:

First we need to determine the change in demand (attendance) as a result of every $1 increase in the price of ticket.

The ticket price increased by $4 (from 50 to 54) and the demand fell by 400 (from 2500 to 2100). The change per dollar is,  400 / 4 = 100.

So, for every $1 increase in price, demand falls by 100.

The revenue is calculated by multiplying price by quantity demanded. Revenue equation will be,

Let x be the change in price from $50.

Revenue = (50 + x)  * (2500 - 100x)

Revenue = 125000 - 5000x + 2500x - 100x²

Revenue = 125000 - 2500x - 100x²

To calculate the price that maximizes the revenue, we need to take the derivative of this equation.

d/dx = 0 - 1 * 2500x° - 2 * 100x

0 = -2500  -  200x

2500 = -200x

2500 / -200 = x

-12.5 = x

Price should be 50 - 12.5 = 37.5

At price $37.5 the revenue of the Opera House is maximized.

Answer:

[tex] STC = 20K + 25L = 20*5 + 25*[\frac{Q^2}{25}] = 100 + Q^2 [/tex]

Explanation:

We are given:

K units of capital and L units of labor.

•Each unit of capital cost = 20

• Each unit of labor cost =25

• Level K is fixed at 5 units

We are told production function Q = K√L

Using the production functions and the values given, we can get that Q=5√L.

To find Q, the amount of labor will be given as:

[tex]L = \frac{Q^2}{25} [/tex]

Therefore, the Short run total cost function (STC) will be:

[tex] 20K + 25L = 20*5 + 25[\frac{Q^2}{25}] = 100 + Q^2 [/tex]

The short-run total cost curve of a firm with a fixed capital of 5 units and variable labor is given by[tex]TC = 100 + 5Q^2.[/tex]

When a firm utilizes a production function Q = K√L, where K units of capital are fixed, and L units of labor are variable, we can determine the short-run total cost curve by incorporating the cost of labor and capital. Given that the firm has fixed capital at 5 units, with each unit of capital costing 20, and each unit of labor costing 25, the short-run total cost (TC) of producing Q units of output can be expressed as:

TC = Cost of Capital (K) + Cost of Labor (L)

Since capital is fixed, the cost of capital is constant at 5 units * 20 cost/unit = 100. The firm will alter L, depending on the output level desired. Since Q = 5√L, to find the cost as a function of Q, we solve for L: [tex]L = (Q/5)^2[/tex]. The cost for labor will then be 25 * L.

Substituting L into the total cost equation we get:

[tex]TC = 100 + 25 * (Q/5)^2[/tex]

[tex]TC = 100 + 5Q^2[/tex]

This equation represents the short-run total cost curve for the firm with a fixed capital level and variable labor costs.

Seneca Hill Winery must decide on grape varieties to plant based on probability assessments of future demand. A decision tree and expected value calculations can aid in making a profit-maximizing decision. Changes in probabilities and profit projections affect the decision, as seen with adjustments to the likelihood of demand scenarios and revenue from Chardonnay.

Decision Making, Chance Events, and Consequences

The decision to be made by Seneca Hill Winery involves choosing which variety or combination of grape varieties to plant: Chardonnay only, Riesling only, or both. The chance event is the future market demand for each type of wine, which could be strong or weak. The consequences are the financial outcomes or annual profits that result from the combination of these decisions and chance events.

Decision Tree Development

A decision tree is a visual representation that starts with the decision node (the choice of grape variety), followed by chance nodes (representing the strong or weak demand for each wine), and the ends with terminal nodes indicating the profits.

Expected Value Analysis

To maximize expected annual profit, we calculate the expected value for each strategy:

Both grapes offer the highest expected annual profit, so Seneca should plant both Chardonnay and Riesling grapes.

Revised Probabilities and Profit Projections

Changing the probability assessments affects the expected value calculations. With a higher likelihood of strong demand for both varieties when Chardonnay demand is strong, the expected profit changes, potentially altering the optimal decision. If Chardonnay profits decrease to $50,000 under strong demand, this also affects the expected values and might influence Seneca to reconsider the decision to plant Chardonnay only.

Answer:

I) The difference between the option's price and the value it would have if it were expiring immediately

Explanation:

Time value in options trading simply refers to the part of an option's premium (cost or price) which is attributed to the amount of the time remaining until expiration.

An addition of the option's time value and intrinsic value equals the total premium of an option.

Therefore, we can mathematically state that:

Time Value = Option Premuim(Price) - Intrinsic Value.

The Option Premuim is an amount of money known as the price or cost.

In an exchange for the right granted by the option, an option buyer pays for the premium to an option seller.

Generally, it is seen that the more time that remains until the expiration, the greater the time value of the option. This happens as a result of investors willing to pay a higher premium for more time since the longer time taken to execute contract will be profitable due to a favorable move in the underlying asset.

Also, the lesser time remaining on an option will result in lesser willingness of investors to pay because the probability for profitability is slim.

Answer:

I) The difference between the option's price and the value it would have if it were expiring immediately

Explanation:

Time value simply means the option's premium portion that is accountable to the amount of time remaining until the option contract expires.

These is the difference between the option's price and the value it would have if it were expiring immediately.

Time value is the premium amount that the those investing is desire to pay more than the intrinsic value.

Time value can be calculated using below formula;

Time Value = Options Premium - Intrinsic Value.

Call options helps to purchase shares of stock at a stable price until the expiration date.

The intrinsic value and the time value are the two areas of call option. These intrinsic value and time value helps to know when to buy the underlying stock.

However time value of the option increases with with the time remains untill expiration

1.Quinlan distribution has realized a loss of

$214,480 of which $0 is recognized.

2. The shareholder received property with a basis of $321,720

Explanation:

1.

When property is been said to be distributed to shareholders the amount of dividend equal to the fair value of the said property which is $321,720 on the date of the distribution. Therefore the amount of taxable dividend is $321,720 which is before the dividends received deduction.

Therefore;

Net loss which shall not be allowed ($536,200-$321,720)

=$214,480

Quinlan distribution has realized a loss of

$214,480 which is not allowed to be recognized

Answer:

Sunderland Company should increase debt investment by $2,685.00  

Explanation:

Sunderland Company needs to increase its debt investments account for Scott Company bonds with the difference between effective interest earned on July 1 2021 minus the actual coupon interest received as shown below:

The actual interest revenue earned = $1122375*12%

                                                           =$ 134,685.00  

The coupon interest received=$1,200,000*11%

                                                 =$ 132,000.00  

In a nutshell,the investment in bonds earned interest of $134,685 but only $132,000 was received in cash,hence the difference of $2,685 is added to the bonds investment figure($134,685-$132,000)

Answer: c. Canned sales presentations

Explanation:

Canned Sales presentations are the "ONE SIZE FITS ALL" of Sales presentations. They are organised and structured to ensure that they can give information to multiple types of people.

Canned Sales Presentations are not very flexible. They are generally used when information has to be repeated over and over to the same.or different types of people and usually already have all information that will be needed.

The Lords' University uses this type of presentations as they used an Automated Presentation that is mostly the same period in, period out but that is built to have all the information that is needed and can be repeated to multiple people (prospective students).

Final answer:

The Lords' University most likely uses canned sales presentations for their automated presentations at education fairs. These are pre-designed to be used repeatedly and fit well with the use of computer-based media like PowerPoint in business settings.

Explanation:

The Lords' University employs automated presentations during education fairs, which are likely to be canned sales presentations. These are pre-recorded or pre-designed presentations that can be used repeatedly without alteration for numerous audiences. Given that these presentations are automated and are not likely to change based on the audience's reactions or questions, they align with the definition of canned sales presentations rather than adaptive sales presentations, which are tailored to the audience's responses.

Computer-based media tools such as PowerPoint are commonly used to create such presentations, making them both accessible and easy to distribute across different settings, from small conference rooms to large amphitheaters. Effective presentation aids are integral to conveying information clearly and keeping the audience engaged, which is crucial in business settings where oral communication is the most common method yet susceptible to listeners' minds wandering.

Answer:

Have little loyalty to their vendors.

Explanation:

Middlemen are intermediaries that buy goods from the producers and sell directly to the consumers. They assist the producers to get different feedbacks about the products from the consumer. Middlemen include wholesalers, retailers, brokers.

In some situations, middlemen increase the prices of various products thereby making it difficult for consumers to purchase, they also have little loyalty to the producers of a particular product they tend to purchase the product when there is high productivity but reject it when productivity reduces.

Answer:

$27,420

Explanation:

The computation of the annual financial advantage or disadvantage for the company is shown below:

Incremental revenue (2,600 units × $31) $80,600

Incremental cost  

Direct material (2,600 units × $6.20) $16,120

Direct labor  (2,600 units × $3) $7,800

Variable manufacturing overhead  (2,600 units × $3.30) $8,580

Additional variable cost  (2,600 units × $1.80) $4,680

Special molds  $16,000

Total incremental cost $53,180

Incremental profit (loss)     $27,420

We simply deduct the all incremental cost from the incremental revenue so that the incremental profit or loss could come

Answer:

Reserves = $70,000

Required reserves = $20,000

Excess Reserves = $50,000

Explanation:

The data given from the question:

Demand deposits = $200,000

Outstanding loans = $130,000

Reserve requirement = 10%

And we are solving for:

Reserves, Required Reserves and Excess Reserves

For these we will look at 3 balance sheet

Assets = Total liabilities + capital

Reserves + Outstanding Loan = Demand Deposits

Reserves + $130,000 = $200,000

Reserves = $70,000

Since reserve ratio =10%, Out of total $200,000 deposits, required reserves = $200,000 x 10% = $20,000

Excess Reserves = Total Reserves - Required Reserves = $(70,000 - 20,000) = $50,000.

Final answer:

Second Republic Bank has total Reserves of $70,000, Required Reserves of $20,000, and Excess Reserves of $50,000, with each calculated based on the given demand deposit of $200,000 and a 10% Federal Reserve requirement.

Explanation:

The question asks us to calculate the Reserves, Required Reserves, and Excess Reserves for Second Republic Bank given its demand deposits and outstanding loans, with the Federal Reserve setting the reserve requirement at 10%. To clarify these terms:

Reserves are the amount of funds a bank has on hand to cover any withdrawals made by clients.

Required Reserves is the amount that a bank must hold by regulation, which in this case is 10% of demand deposits.

Excess Reserves is any amount of money that a bank holds over the required minimum.

Assuming that Second Republic Bank must maintain 10% of demand deposits as reserves, we calculate the Required Reserves as 10% of $200,000, equaling $20,000.

Given that the bank has $130,000 in loans and loans and reserves together should equal total deposits, the total Reserves would equal demand deposits minus outstanding loans, which is $200,000 - $130,000 = $70,000. Therefore, the Excess Reserves would be the total Reserves minus the Required Reserves, which is $70,000 - $20,000 = $50,000.

Answer:

Liquid Sleeve should select the  Type FE because it has a lower Present Value cost of $257,455.62

Explanation:

The preferred metal-based would be the one with owner a present value  cost.

So we will compute the present value of the the cost the two options.

Type FE =

Initiall cost = -150,000

PV of operating cost = -92,000× (1- (1.3)^(-2))/0.3

                                =  92,000 × 1.360946746

                                  = $(125,207.10)

PV of salvage value = 30,000 × (1.3)^(-3)=  17,751.48

Total PV =  (125,207.10) + (150,000) - 17,751.48 = $(257,455.62 )

Type A1

initial cost = -$280,000

PV of operating cost = 74,000 × (1- (1.3)^(-4))/0.3 =  160,301.81

PV of salvage value = 70,000 × (1.3)^(-4)=    24,508.95

Total Cost = (280,000) + -(160,301.81) + 24,508.95 = $(415,792.86)

The forecast for the third quarter of this year (Jul, Aug, Sep) is 193.33 units using a three-quarter moving average.

To forecast the demand for the third quarter of this year using a three-quarter moving average, we'll calculate the average demand for the first and second quarters and use that average as the forecast for the third quarter.

First, calculate the moving averages for the last year's data and this year's data:

For last year (LY), the moving averages are:

- Q1 (Jan, Feb, Mar): (100 + 125 + 135) / 3 = 120

- Q2 (Apr, May, Jun): (175 + 185 + 200) / 3 = 186.67

- Q3 (Jul, Aug, Sep): (150 + 140 + 130) / 3 = 140

- Q4 (Oct, Nov, Dec): (200 + 225 + 250) / 3 = 225

For this year (TY), the moving averages for the available data are:

- Q1 (Jan, Feb, Mar): (125 + 135 + 135) / 3 = 131.67

- Q2 (Apr, May, Jun): (190 + 200 + 190) / 3 = 193.33

Now, we'll use the moving average of this year's Q2 (193.33) as the forecast for Q3 since it's the most recent data available.

So, the forecast for the third quarter (Jul, Aug, Sep) of this year is 193.33 units. This moving average method provides a simple forecast based on historical patterns, assuming that the recent trend in demand will continue into the next quarter.
