Answer:

C. The firms in this industry have diseconomies of scale.

Explanation:

Diseconomy of scale occurs when the cost with the factors of production grows more than the output resulting from the investment, resulting in an increase in the average cost per unit produced.

In the case in question, the factor of production works. Investment is the cost of the total manpower of managers and employees. If after this investment the final production decreased (-14.4% and -3.1% respectively), this means that these firms had diseconomies of scale. Because they are firms of the same nature, it is pertinent to affirm that the sector of these firms presented diseconomies of scale.

Answer:

C. The firms in this industry have diseconomies of scale.

Explanation:

The firms in this industry have diseconomies of scale. Diseconomies of scale occur when a company or a business grows very large, and with this new size, the costs per unit increase. While economies of scale see decreasing costs and increasing output as it grows, diseconomies of scale see increase in costs when output is increased.

Answer:

Depreciation for second year = $34,875

Explanation:

Total amount of depreciation to be charged in useful life = Cost of machine - Residual Value

= $248,170 - $13,500 = $234,670

Total expected units to be produced during the life of machine = 757,000 bolts

Depreciation per unit bolt = $234,670/757,000 = $0.31

When depreciation is based on units of production method, it will be charged based on units of production.

Depreciation for second year = Units produced in second year X Rate of depreciation per unit of production

= 112,500 X $0.31 = $34,875

$34,875

To calculate the depreciation expense for the second year using the units-of-production method, we can multiply the depreciation per unit by the number of units produced in the second year.

To calculate the depreciation expense using the units-of-production method, we need to determine the depreciation per unit of production.

Depreciation per unit = (Cost - Residual Value) / Total Units of Production

Depreciation Expense for the second year = Depreciation per unit * Number of Units Produced in the second year.

In this case, the depreciation per unit would be (248170 - 13500) / 757000 = $0.318 per bolt of woven fabric. Therefore, the depreciation expense for the second year would be 0.318 * 112500 = $35,925.

The first Step is calculate the dividends:

[tex]dividends \times growth \: rate = next\: perdiod \: dividends[/tex]

We multiply 1.15 today dividends by the growth rate of 18% to get year 1

then year 1 by this growth rate to get year 2 and finally

year 2 times growth rate to get year 3 Dividends

Then on year 3 we apply the Dividends growth model

[tex]\frac{divends}{return-growth} = Intrinsic \: Value[/tex]

[tex]\frac{Year3 }{0.095-0.06} = Intrinsic \: Value[/tex]

Third, we need to bring this values to present

Answer:

The amount that will recognize under amortization expenses is $2600.

Explanation:

The first step here would be to calculate the amortization expenses for the first 4 years of the patent, here will use straight line depreciation method,

Formula - original value of asset / useful life in years

              - $26,400 / 12

             - $2200

Now for the 4 years this amount would become $2200 x 4 = $8800

The amount of amortization for the first half of 2017 ( up to 30 June ) would be-

= half of full year expenses

= $2200 / 2

= $1100

So up to 30 June 2017, the expenses are $9900 ( $8800+$1100), So the new book value would be = $26,400 - $9900

            = $16,500

In this $16,500 we will add the amount of legal fees, so the total would be -

$16,500 + $6000

= $22,500

The next step is to divide this value by remaining useful; years which is 7.5,

$22,500 / 7.5

= $3000

Now we will divide this amount by 2 because we have to take out expense for remaining last 6 months of 2017

$3000 / 2

= $1500

Adding the expenses for first and second half of 2017 to take out total amortization expense of 2017 -

$1100 + $1500

= $2600

The budgeted cash payments for materials in January are $12,520.

To calculate the budgeted cash payments for materials in January for Fortune Company, we need to consider both the payments made in January for purchases made in December and the payments made in January for purchases made in January itself.

1. Payments for December Purchases:

  - December Accounts Payable: $6,500

  - Since payments are made 50% in the month of purchase and 50% in the following month, we assume that the $6,500 is the amount to be paid in January for purchases made in December.

2. Payments for January Purchases:

  - January Material Purchases: $12,040

  - 50% of January purchases will be paid in January: [tex]\( 0.50 \times 12,040 = 6,020 \)[/tex]

Answer:

the correct option is c) change in the money wage and other resource prices does not shift the long run aggregate supply

Explanation:

First of all aggregate supply can be defined as the sum total of all the goods and services that are supplied in the economy during a defined period of time.

In the given question the option C is right because it is assumed that in the case of long run aggregate supply , the supply curve tends to remain static because any kind of change in the aggregate demand causes only temporary changes in the total output of the economy and the slope of the curve remains vertical. It is also assumed that the economy is being used at optimal as only factors like labor, capital, and technology can bring in aggregate supply.

Options a) and b) can't be true because if the supply curve is gonna shift , it is first going to shift in short run aggregate supply then long run aggregate supply , not the other way around.

Answer:

The $384,000 is the amount which will be reported in the balance sheet of Nana Company for the investment in Papa at December 31, 2018

Explanation:

Since in the given question, the Nana company does not have significant influence over Papa company, so the net income, retained earning, paid value would be considered in the calculation part.

The computation of investment reported in the balance sheet of Nana company is shown below:

= Number of shares × fair value per share

= 6,400 shares × $60

= $384,000

Thus, the $384,000 is the amount which will be reported in the balance sheet of Nana Company for the investment in Papa at December 31, 2018

Answer: option C

Explanation: Cash flow can be categorized as inflow and outflow. Inflow can be defined as the money coming in the business like revenue. Cash outflow is money leaving the business like in form of expenditures.

Excess of cash inflow over cash outflow results in positive cash flows and vice- versa.

a. Debt is a source of capital hence its issuance will result in inflow of money.

b. Company will have to spend money for repurchasing the stock therefore it will be a cash outflow.

c. selling of assets will bring money to the firm,hence,cash inflow.

Thus, occurrence of either A or C can result in increase in cash flow.

Aldrin Co.'s increase in cash despite a negative net cash flow can be attributed to either issuing long-term debt or selling assets, which are financing and investing activities respectively.

This scenario can be explained through activities that are not directly related to the company's main business operations. Issuing long-term debt is an example of a financing activity that would increase cash. Alternatively, selling some of its assets can also add cash to the company's balance sheet. Both of these actions could explain why there's more cash even with a negative operational cash flow.

Repurchasing common stock would actually use up cash reserves and therefore, cannot account for an increase in cash if the company is already experiencing a negative operational cash flow. When considering the provided options, the correct explanations are that Aldrin Co. could have either issued long-term debt (which would bring in cash) or sold some assets (which would also result in a cash inflow).

Answer:

(1)

Cash 27,000

   Subscriptions Received in Advance 27,000

(2)

Subscriptions Received in Advance 7,500

                             Subscriptions Received 7,500

(3)

It woulbe be understated. Because the August adjustment recognize revenues. If it wasn't done, then revenues are less than it should be. So net income is understated.

Explanation:

(1)

At the beginning of the year the subscription represent an obligation to the business, it must deliver their magazines, the revenue is not earned.

total amount900 x 0 = 27,000

(2)

beginning + new subcription - ending = earned revenue

40,500 + 27,000 - 60,000 = 7,500

(3)

It woulbe be understated. Because the August adjustment recognize revenues. If it wasn't done, then revenues are less than it should be. So net income is understated.

Final answer:

The sale of 900 subscriptions is recorded by debiting Cash and crediting Subscriptions Received in Advance. An adjusting entry for one month's worth of earned revenue is made by debiting Subscriptions Received in Advance and crediting Subscription Revenue. Forgetting this adjustment would lead to an understatement of net income for August.

Explanation:

Recording and Adjusting Subscription Revenue and Its Impact on Net Income

1) To record the sale of the 900 yearly subscriptions during the month of August, we would perform the following journal entry: Debit Cash for $27,000 (900 subscriptions × $30 each) and Credit Subscriptions Received in Advance for $27,000. This transaction increases both the company's cash and its liability for deferred subscription revenue.

2) At the end of August, an adjusting entry must be made to recognize the subscription revenue that has been earned during the month. Since the subscriptions are for a 12-month period, and one month has passed, 1/12th of the revenue received in advance should be recognized as earned. Therefore, we Debit Subscriptions Received in Advance for the portion earned ($40,500 for the initial balance plus $27,000 from new subscriptions equals $67,500 in total, divided by 12 gives $5,625) and Credit Subscription Revenue for $5,625.

3) If the accountant recorded the sale of the subscriptions but forgot to adjust for revenue recognition on August 31, the net income for August would be understated. This is because the earned revenue for August hasn't been accounted for, leading to a lower net income than should be reported.

Final answer:

Among the given options, the supply of baking cupcakes has the most elasticity in the short term due to the quick production process and the ease of increasing quantity supplied.

Explanation:

In evaluating the elasticity of supply in the short term for different industries, we must consider how quickly producers can respond to a price increase with a higher quantity supplied. When it comes to producing feature movies, building skyscrapers, and providing health care, these require significant time investments, whether for production, construction, or training medical staff, resulting in relatively inelastic supply curves. Conversely, the process of baking cupcakes can be quickly adjusted to changes in demand. Ingredients are readily available, and the production time is short. Therefore, in the short term, the supply for cupcakes would be the most elastic among the listed activities due to its quick reaction to cost changes and the ability to increase quantity supplied (Qs) without significant delays.

Answer:

The cost of goods sold for next month is expected to be $202,500

Explanation:

Given that,

Sales budget = $450,000

Cost of Good sold = 45% of sales

Opening inventory = $20,000

Ending inventory = $24,000

Beginning accounts payable = $206,500

Since, in the given question, it is mentioned that the cost of good sold is 45% of sales.

So,

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) = 0.45 × $450,000

                                              = $202,500

Hence, the cost of goods sold for next month is expected to be $202,500

Note: we don't considered other things which is mentioned in the question.

Answer: If the airline's objective is to increase total revenue, it should decrease the price charged to vacationers and increase the price charged to business travelers.

Explanation:

Here the objective of the airline is to increase total revenue,  therefore airline should practice price discrimination i.e. charge different prices to vacation travelers and business travelers.

Since customers traveling for vacations have elastic demand i.e. ε > 1 , so if airline reduces the price of air ticket for them, then there will be a percentage decrease in the price that will be less then the percentage increase in the number of vacation travelers.

Therefore, total revenue will increase with decreasing price charged to vacationers.

Whereas;

The demand of business travelers is inelastic  i.e. ε < 1, so if airline increases the price of air ticket for business travelers, then there will be a percentage increase in the price that will be more then the percentage decrease in the number of vacation travelers

Therefore, total revenue will increase with increasing price charged to business travelers.

Answer:

1. Preparing Contribution Income statement

Sales = 40,000 units X $42.60 =                                                $1,704,000

Less: Variable Costs

Direct Material = $11 X 40,000 =                                 $440,000

Direct Labor = $3 X 40,000 =                                      $120,000

Variable Manufacturing Overhead = $3 X 40,000 = $120,000

Variable Selling Expenses = $4 X 40,000 =                $160,000

Total Variable Costs =                                                                    ($840,000)

Contribution Margin =                                                                      $864,000

Less: Fixed Costs

Selling & Administrative =                                           $300,000

Manufacturing Overheads =                                       $196,000

Total Fixed Cost =                                                                           ($496,000)

Net Operating Income =                                                                  $368,000

2. Now we have net income as per Contribution statement = $368,000 and net income as per Absorption Costing = $404,000

This difference is because of Fixed Manufacturing Overheads

Under Absorption costing Fixed Manufacturing Overheads charged = $196,000  ÷ 49,000 units = $4 per unit X 40,000 units = $160,000 whereas in contribution statement it is charged fully.

Under absorption costing even fixed costs are charged based on the number of units produced, whereas in income statement is it charged completely irrespective of the units produced as that value is fixed and cannot be avoided on per unit basis.

Difference = $404,000 - $368,000 = $36,000

Manufacturing cost for 9,000 units (49,000 - 40,000) = at the rate of $4 = $36,000

In case cost of fixed manufacturing overhead is reduced by $36,000 then profit will be increased to $368,000 + $36,000 = $404,000 same as of absorption costing.

Using variable costing, we compute the variable costs and subtract from sales to get the contribution margin. Fixed costs are then subtracted to get the net operating income. The difference between absorption costing and variable costing net operating income is due to the treatment of fixed manufacturing overhead.

Variable costing distinguishes between fixed and variable costs, and treats only variable costs as product costs. Accordingly, the per-unit product cost under variable costing would be $17 (Direct materials $11 + Direct labor $3 + Variable manufacturing overhead $3).

Next, let's compute the sales, variable costs, and contribution margin:

Subtract fixed costs (Fixed manufacturing overhead of $196,000 and fixed selling/administrative costs of $300,000) from the contribution margin to get the net operating income under variable costing: $368,000.

So, the difference between the net operating income under absorption costing ($404,000) and variable costing ($368,000) is $36,000. The reason for the higher net operating income under absorption costing is because some fixed manufacturing overhead was included in the cost of goods sold, reducing reported cost of goods sold and thereby increasing net operating income.

D. A shopping mall cannot be considered a good. It is a fixed asset to the entity owning it. Hence, not a consumer good.

E. A train will continuously used by the organisation owning it for its business purpose. Hence , not a consumer good.

Answer:

A

Explanation:

the sales price increase and because the variable cost are the same the contribution margin will increase, which lead to think the BEP is lower.

But, because the fixed cost also increase we cannot determinate where the new BEP Will be higher or lower. The fixed cost could increase so much that nulifies the increase in the contribution margin or even be higher enought that the BEP goes higher.

So Option A is the only true statment.

The breakeven point in units increases when both fixed expenses and the selling price per unit increase while variable costs per unit are unchanged. The breakeven point is determined by covering all fixed and variable costs with the revenue generated from sales; thus, more units must be sold to cover higher fixed costs.

If both fixed expenses and the selling price per unit increase while variable costs per unit are unchanged, the correct statement is that the breakeven point in units increases. The breakeven point is where total revenue equals total costs, and fixed expenses make up part of the total costs. When the selling price per unit increases, the revenue per unit also increases, offsetting some of the impact of the increased fixed expenses. However, if the increase in the selling price does not proportionately match the increase in fixed expenses, the number of units needed to break even will still rise. This is because the additional revenue generated by the higher selling price per unit must now cover a higher fixed cost before reaching profitability.

Let us consider an example where the fixed cost is $40,000, the variable cost per unit is $0.30, and the initial selling price is $1.50, leading to a unit contribution margin of $1.20. If the fixed expenses increase, the breakeven in units would be calculated by dividing the new fixed cost by the unit contribution margin. A small price increase would likely result in the breakeven point in units being roughly the same or only slightly adjusted, but a more significant increase in fixed expenses without a proportionate increase in the selling price would mean a higher number of units need to be sold to break even. Hence, the answer is breakeven point in units increases (Option D).

Answer:

marginal analysis

Explanation:

Most real-world choices aren't about getting all of one thing or another, instead, most choices involve marginal analysis, which involves comparing the benefits and costs of choosing a little more or a little less of a good.

Most real-world choices aren't about getting all of one thing or another, instead, most choices involve marginal analysis, which involves comparing the benefits and costs of choosing a little more or a little less of a good. Hence, option D is correct.

Marginal analysis involves dividing a choice into a number of "yes or no" options. More particularly, it contrasts the higher costs that the same activity incurs with the increased benefits that it provides.

For instance, a marginal analysis reveals that hiring a second worker for manufacturing would result in a net marginal advantage if the company has the funds to do so. Or, to put it another way, the potential for producing more things balances out the increase in labour costs.

Thus, option D is correct.

Explanation:

Split off Point: The split off point is that point in which joint products treated separately and sell them as a unique product.

Incremental Cash flow: The incremental cash flow is that cash flow which show  the difference between the split off sales and normal sales.

Here, incremental means that if split off sales is greater than normal sales than firm is earning profit else the firm will suffer loss.

Steps to compute the incremental cash flows for each products:

Step 1: First write Additional selling price of all three products

Step 2: Than write the Split off selling price of all three products

Step 3: Now take the difference of selling price

Step 4: After that, multiply step 3 with split off sales

Step 5: Than write the additional sales

Step 6: Compare the two sales and analyse whether firm earns profits or suffer a loss, and finally the increment cash flows come.

Answer: Increasing opportunity cost

Explanation:

Yes, economic theory suggest that countries producing more of those goods in which they have a comparative advantage then they must have benefit from international trade. But countries rarely specialized in the production of one good and that is because of increasing opportunity cost.

Countries with a constant opportunity cost are completely specialized in the production of one good.

In case of increasing opportunity cost, when a country shift their resources from the production of one good to another, this will lead to an increase in the opportunity cost of producing that good.

This is because of the productivity of the resources. This means that resources that are reallocate from the production of one good to another were better suited for the good whose production decreases.

When a company is producing more goods and services, it becomes a bad move because at this point company's marginal cost starts exceeding the marginal revenue , which means with each additional units a company is producing it is losing profit on that unit, so it is better for a company to produce less and try to find that level of output where its marginal cost and revenue are equal because at that level, company would be able to make optimal profits.

It's generally bad for a company to produce more of a product or service if the marginal cost of making an additional unit surpasses the marginal revenue gained from selling that unit. This is because this would mean the company is using its resources inefficiently, possibly leading to a financial loss.

In economics and business, it's generally not advantageous for a company to produce more of a good or service if certain conditions are present. Specifically, if the marginal cost of producing an additional unit of the product exceeds the marginal revenue gained from selling that unit, the company would lose money on each additional unit produced.

The marginal cost is the increase in total cost that arises from producing one extra unit of a product, while the marginal revenue is the increase in total revenue that results from selling one extra unit. If marginal cost is greater than marginal revenue, the company is not efficiently allocating its resources and may end up with a financial loss.

Therefore, option a. 'marginal cost exceeds marginal revenue' accurately describes a situation where it would be detrimental for a company to produce more of a product or service. The other options, although relevant to different business situations, do not necessarily indicate a bad move in terms of increased production.

Answer:

Ending Inventory 14,000

Explanation:

PURCHASES  

DATE QUANTY PRICE SUBTOTAL

Beginning 3000  $3.90  $14,100.00

Purchase       8000   $4.70     $31,200.00

Total available 11,000

Sales 7,500

Ending Inventory 3,500

Book value (FIFO) 3,500 x 4.7 = 16,450

Cost $4

net realizable $4.90

Lower Cost =$4

Ending Inventory  4$ x 3,500 = $14,000

Loss 2,450

The net carrying amount of Pair's inventory at the end of January is $14,000. This amount was calculated using the Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) method and the lower of cost or market rule.

To calculate the net carrying amount of Pair's inventory at the end of January, we first need to calculate the cost of the goods sold (COGS). Since Pair uses the Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) method, the last units purchased are considered first for the COGS. From the 7,500 units sold, 8,000 units purchased on 1/4 will be considered first. This takes all the 7,500 units sold with a cost of $3.90 each, totaling $29,250. The remaining units, 3,500 (3,000 from beginning inventory and 500 from the purchases), had a cost of $4.70 each, totaling $16,450 (3,500 * $4.7).

According to the lower of cost or market rule, the cost of the inventory must be compared to the market value, which is the replacement cost, and the lowest amount is used. The replacement cost of $4/unit is lower than the original cost of $4.7/unit, so the replacement cost is used. This means the cost of the remaining inventory is $14,000 (3,500 * $4).
