Imposing a minimum wage of $15 in this labor market will lead to a net gain of $360 in wages paid to labor.
Explanation:Imposing a minimum wage of $15 in this labor market will lead to an increase in wages paid to labor in this market. The minimum wage of $15 will be above the equilibrium wage, causing a surplus of labor as the quantity supplied exceeds the quantity demanded. At the minimum wage, the quantity demanded will be 12 units (200-10*15) and the quantity supplied will be 130 (10*15-20), resulting in a surplus of 118 units. Therefore, the net effect on wages paid to labor in this market will be a $360 gain.

Accounting Fundamentals of Healthcare ManagementWorking capital techniques focus specifically on what aspects of an organization’s finances?What specific task does a manager undertake when handling working capital issues?What are the three primary reasons an organization holds cash or cash equivalents?What is the accounts receivable cycle? Why is this task especially important for health care organizations?What is the goal of the EOQ? How does it differ from JIT inventory?What are the steps in managing the revenue cycle?Should an organization take a discount of 1.5/10 N/ 30 on a $9,000 invoice or simply pay the bill when due?
Answer:
Check the following calculations
Explanation:
1. Working capital techniques focuses on short term borrowings of an organisation. An organisations meet its working capital needs by borrowing the funds for short term and meet the funds it requires to manage the operational requirements. This is the reason why short term borrowing limits of any organisation is linked directly to the value of its working capital ie., Inventories, receivables etc.,
2. A manager typically focusses on reducing the receivables by improving the collections from overdue debtors and on evaluating whether the inventories are procured optimally or purchased in bulk more than the requirement and negotiates with vendors for increased credit terms. He also works on ensuring that the short term borrowings are represented by the drawing power available from its current assets. If there is any gap, he would work on borrowing long term funds and utilise it to meet the shortfall in working capital with necessary approvals.
3.Accounts receivable cycle represents the no of days between the date of invoicing to a customer to the date of realisation of billed amount from the customer. In health care industry, most of the revenues are settled through insurance claim process. Insurance companies typically delay the settlement stating deficiencies in the documents submitted. This would result in increased ageing of receivables. Unless closely monitored and followed up, the realisation of dues would be a concern in this industry.
4. Goal of Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is to minimise the inventory holding costs and the costs of ordering a product by optimally assessing the quantity to order .Here , the key assumption is the demand quantity would be certain and constant throughout the period. Just in Time (JIT) inventory is a manufacturing system which focuses to produce or procure products only when the demand arise. Hence, the focus is mainly on time reduction between the time of order and time of sourcing the material. JIT doesnt assume any static demand.
5. Revenue cycle in a Health care industry represents the difference between the date of admission of a patient and the date of receipt of fees . Steps involved in managing revenue cycle in a health care industry are provided below:
- Developing a robust system to track and monitor the revenue cycle for each patient
- Agreeing on a clear SOP (Standard operating procedure) with Insurance companies in submission and settlement of claims
- Review of revenue cycle by Top management team and raising relevant queries and actionable points to improve the status

The Wall Street Journal reports that the rate on three-year Treasury securities is 4.75 percent and the rate on four-year Treasury securities is 5.00 percent. The one-year interest rate expected in three years is E(4r1), 5.25 percent. According to the liquidity premium theory, what is the liquidity premium on the four-year Treasury security, L4?
0.0375 percent0.504 percent5.01 percent5.04 percent
Answer:
L4= 0.504%
Explanation:
1 +1R4= {(1 +1R3)(1 + E(4r1) +L4)}1/4
1.0500 = {(1.0475)^3(1 + 0.0525 +L4)}1/4
(1.0500)^4= (1.0475)3^(1 + 0.0525 +L4)
(1.0500)^4/(1.0475)^3= 1 + 0.0525 + L4
(1.0500)4/(1.0475)^3-1.0525
L4= .0050358564 = 0.504%
Marigold Company estimates that 2017 sales will be $42,500 in quarter 1, $53,700 in quarter 2, and $65,700 in quarter 3. Cost of goods sold is 50% of sales. Management desires to have ending finished goods inventory equal to 22% of the next quarter’s expected cost of goods sold. Prepare a merchandise purchases budget by quarter for the first 6 months of 2017.
Answer:
Prepare a merchandise purchases budget by quarter for the first 6 months of 2017.$ 50.652
Explanation:
Each month the company has to purchase the inventory to the next quarter and cover the cost of goods of the current quarter which is the costo of good of the months minus the initial inventory.
Quarter 1 - Quarter 2 - Quarter 3
$42,500 - $53,700 - $65,700 - Sales
$21,250 - $26,850 - $32,850 - Cost of Goods
$4,675 - $5,907 - $7,227 - Initial Inventory
$22,482 - $28,170 - ------------- Merchandises Purchases
Total Merchandise purchases for the first two quarters :
$50,562 = $22,482 + $28,170
$22,482 = $21,250 - $4,675 + $5,907
$28,170 = $26,850 - $5,907 + $7,227
Kincaid Company's Retained Earnings balance on January 1 was $9,000. During the current year, Kincaid earned $3,100 in revenues and incurred $4,300 in expenses. Kincaid declared and paid $3,000 in dividends, all in cash. After the closing entries are made, Kincaid's Retained Earnings balance on December 31 will be:
A) $7,800.
B) $9,100.
C) $9,000.
D) $4,800.
Answer:
D) $4,800
Explanation:
Previous Retained Earnings + Revenue - Expenses - Dividends = Current Retained Earnings
Old Retained Earnings - $9,000
Revenue - $3,100
Expenses - ($4,300)
Dividends - ($3,000)
Current Retained Earnings = $4,800
Final answer:
Kincaid's Retained Earnings balance on December 31 will be $4,800 after accounting for the year's net loss and dividends paid.
Explanation:
After the closing entries are made, Kincaid's Retained Earnings balance on December 31 will be calculated based on the beginning balance, plus net income, and minus dividends paid. We start with the beginning balance of retained earnings on January 1, which was $9,000. During the year, Kincaid earned revenues of $3,100 and incurred expenses of $4,300, leaving us with a net loss of $1,200 ($3,100 - $4,300). This net loss will decrease retained earnings. Moreover, Kincaid declared and paid $3,000 in dividends, which will further decrease retained earnings.
To find the ending Retained Earnings balance, we subtract both the net loss and dividends from the beginning balance:
Beginning Retained Earnings: $9,000
Net Loss: -$1,200
Dividends Paid: -$3,000
Ending Retained Earnings: $9,000 - $1,200 - $3,000 = $4,800
Therefore, the answer is D) $4,800.
Waymire Company sells a motor that carries a 60-day unconditional warranty against product failure. From prior years' experience, Waymire estimates that 3% of units sold each period will require repair at an average cost of $100 per unit. During the current period, Waymire sold 73,000 units and repaired 1,000 units.
(a) How much warranty expense must Waymire report in its current period income statement?(b) What warranty liability related to current period sales will Waymire report on its current period-end balance sheet?
Answer: Income statement $100,000
Balance sheet warranty liability $Nill
Explanation:
Since we are at the end of the period and all activities has been concluded with no expectation of claim of repairs. The firm will only record the cost incurred for current period on repairs which is $100,00 ( $100*1000) . The liability will be zero since the company has taken care of all repairs for the period.
Final answer:
Waymire must report a warranty expense of $219,000 on its income statement. The warranty liability related to current period sales to be reported on the balance sheet is $216,000, covering the estimated repairs for units still under warranty.
Explanation:
Waymire Company Warranty Expenses and Liabilities
To calculate the warranty expense Waymire must report in its current period income statement, we will use the information that Waymire estimates a 3% failure rate with an average repair cost of $100 per unit. Waymire sold 73,000 units during the current period. Therefore, the estimated warranty expense is 73,000 units imes 3% imes $100 = $219,000. This is the amount that should be recognized in the income statement as an expense.
As for the warranty liability, Waymire repaired 1,000 units. The cost for these repairs would already have been accounted for, so we need to determine the liability for units sold that have not yet failed but are still under warranty. Since 1,000 repairs have already been made, the remaining estimated repairs are for the units sold minus those repaired: 73,000 units - 1,000 repaired units = 72,000 units. The liability for these remaining units is 72,000 units imes 3% imes $100 = $216,000. This is the amount that Waymire should report on its balance sheet as a liability related to the current period sales.
A major DVD rental chain is considering opening a new store in an area that currently does not have any such stores. The chain will open if there is evidence that more than 5,000 of the 20,000 households in the area are equipped with DVD players. It conducts a telephone poll of 300 randomly selected households in the area and finds that 96 have DVD players. The decision on the hypothesis test using a 3% level of significance is

Final answer:
The student's question involves performing a hypothesis test to determine if more than 5,000 of the 20,000 households in the area have DVD players, using a sample of 300 households where 96 have DVD players and a significance level of 3%. A z-test will be used to compare the sample proportion to the hypothesized population proportion.
Explanation:
The question asks us to decide whether to open a new DVD rental store based on the evidence obtained from a sample. A chain will open a new store if more than 5,000 out of 20,000 households have DVD players. In the sample of 300 households, 96 have DVD players. We need to perform a hypothesis test to make this decision.
To test the hypothesis, define the null hypothesis (H0) as the proportion of households with DVD players being 5,000 out of 20,000, which is 0.25. The alternative hypothesis (H1) is that the proportion is greater than 0.25. The sample proportion with DVD players is 96/300, which is 0.32. We can use a z-test to compare the sample proportion to the population proportion.
The level of significance is given as 3%. This is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis if it is actually true. After calculating the z-score for the sample proportion, we would compare it to the critical value from the z-table that corresponds to 3% significance level. If the calculated z-score is greater than the critical value, we reject the null hypothesis.

Donna's property is appraised at $1,000,000 and is subject to a $100,000 liability. Lindsey assumes the liability. If no cash is exchanged, what is the amount of gain recognized by Lindsey?
Answer:
$500,000
Explanation:
For Lindsey, the cost incurred in the acquisition of Donna's property via the exchange is
= $400,000 + $200,000
= $600,000
For Donna, the cost incurred in the acquisition of Lindsey's property via the exchange is
= $1,000,000 + $100,000
= $1,100,000
If no cash is exchanged, amount of gain recognized by Lindsey
= $1,100,000 - $600,000
= $500,000

Paul, the HR manager, works in the Townsville plant and reports to the plant manager there, but he also reports to the corporate HR director in Cityburg. This reporting structure violates the principle of ________.
A. unity of purpose
B. unity of command
C. chain of command
D. division of authority
Answer:
Letter B is correct. Unity of command.
Explanation:
Unity of command is defined as the importance of respecting hierarchy within an organization. The orders are given by the superiors and the subordinates must comply with them, that is, the orders of those who are at the top of the hierarchy must always be respected and only the superiors are allowed to change them.
When there is a violation of the command unit, several related conflicts can arise, such as lack of consensus among teams, disorganization, failure in the communication process, which negatively impact organizational effectiveness.
You purchased 1,000 shares of the New Fund at a price of $23 per share at the beginning of the year. You paid a front-end load of 2.5%. The securities in which the fund invests increase in value by 9% during the year. The fund's expense ratio is 1.3%.
What is your rate of return on the fund if you sell your shares at the end of the year?
Answer:
5%
Explanation:
Front-end load = 2.5%
The cost of 1,000 shares:
= (1,000 × $23) ÷ (1 - 0.025)
= $23,590
NAV at the end of the year = NAV in the beginning × (1 + r - expense ratio)
= $23 × (1 + 0.09 - 0.013)
= $23 × 1.077
= $24.771
Value of 1,000 shares at the end of the year:
= NAV at the end of the year × 1,000 shares
= $24.771 × 1,000
= $24,771
Rate of return:
= (Value of shares at the end ÷ Value of shares in the beginning) - 1
= ($24,771 ÷ $23,590) - 1
= 0.05006 or 5%

Henry Crouch's law office has traditionally ordered ink refills 65 units at a time. The firm estimates that carrying cost is 40% of the $11 unit cost and that annual demand is about 245 units per year. The assumptions of the basic EOQ model are thought to apply. For what value of ordering cost would its action be optimal?
Answer:
The answer is: the ordering cost will be $38
Explanation:
We have the formula for economic order quantity is:
EOQ = Square root of ( 2 x S x D / H)
in which: S ordering cost;
D: Quantity demand
H: carrying cost
For the law office to act at optimal level by ordering EOQ at 65 units a time, The ordering cost will be found be the equation:
65 = square root of ( 2 x S x 245 / 4.4) <=> 4,225 = (2 x S x 245) / 4.4 <=> 4,225 = 1225S/ 11 <=> S = $38
Thus, the ordering cost will be $38.
Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A) On average, smaller stocks have lower volatility than Treasury bills.
B) Portfolios of smaller stocks are typically less volatile than individual small stocks.
C) On average, smaller stocks have lower returns than larger stocks.
D) On average, Treasury bills have higher returns than stocks.
Answer:B. The portfolio of smaller stock are typically less volatile than individual small stock.
C. On average smaller stock have lower return than larger stock.
Explanation:
The larger stock most times have a higher volatility than smaller stock and usually have better records of performance, this therefore makes their returns higher than lower stock.
On an average the volatility of a smaller stock is greater than that of a portfolio of smaller stock for the portfolio stock will compensate for one another to limit the volatility.
A treasury bill has a government guarantee, their return is therefore lower and same applies to their volatility when compared to smaller stock.

Suppose a banking system receives a new deposit of $1,000. If the reserve requirement is 20%, by how much can the total volume of deposits in that banking system ultimately rise as a result, assuming all excess reserves are loaned out and all loan proceeds are re-deposited?
Answer:
Increase in initial deposit will be $4000
Explanation:
We have given initial deposit = $1000
Required reserve ratio = 20 % = 0.2
We have to find the total increase in deposit
We know that total increase in deposit = [tex]\frac{intial\ deposit}{required\ reserve\ ratio}-initial\ deposit[/tex]
So We know that total increase in deposit = [tex]\frac{1000}{0.2}-1000=$4000[/tex]
So increase in initial deposit will be $4000

All individuals with an odd hospital admission number are assigned to the second group. The main purpose of this procedure is to:a. ensure a double-blind study.b. prevent observer bias with respect to the factor.c. prevent observer bias with respect to the outcome.d. improve the likelihood that the two groups will be comparable with regard to known and unknown confounding factors.e. guarantee comparability of the two groups with regard to other relevant factors.
Answer:
d. improve the likelihood that the two groups will be comparable with regard to known and unknown confounding factors.
Explanation:
Epidemiology is the term that is used to define a study in which the study is done on a defined population for the health related issues, that is about answering the who, when and where related to this study.

Lars runs a cookie factory. His cookies are made with sugar, peanut oil, and soybean oil. The number of boxes of cookies that he produces is y = min{su, po+2so}, where su is the number of bags of sugar, po the number of canisters of peanut oil, and so the number of canisters of soybean oil that he uses. The price of a bag of sugar is $5. The price of a canister of peanut oil is $9. The price of a canister of soybean oil is $19. (a) If Lars makes 24 boxes of cookies, how many bags of sugar will he use? Will he use peanut or soybean oil? How many canisters? Calculate the minimum cost of producing 24 boxes of cookies. (b) Suppose the price of soybean oil decreases by $1 and the price of peanut oil increases by $1. How will these changes affect the minimum cost of producing 24 boxes of cookies?
Answer:
Check the following calculations
Explanation:
If Lars makes 24 boxes of cookies,
how many bags of sugar will he use? Answer- Lars will use 24 bags of of suger.
Will he use peanut or soybean oil ? Answer - Yes. He will use peanut & soybean oil
How many canisters - 24 number of canisters of peanut oil & 48 number of canisters of soybean oil
The minimum cost of producing 24 boxes of cookies. = 24(5+9+2x19) = 24(52) = $1,248
(b) Suppose the price of soybean oil decreases by $1 and the price of peanut oil increases by $1. How will these changes affect the ?
minimum cost of producing 24 boxes of cookies = 24[5+(9+1)+2x(19-1)] = 24 [51]= $ 1,224.
Lars's cookie production employs a mathematical model to determine the number of ingredients needed to make 24 boxes of cookies, considering the costs of sugar, peanut oil, and soybean oil. A price change in peanut and soybean oil will impact the minimum cost of production. The calculation involves finding the minimum of two functions and adjusting for price changes.
Explanation:To solve Lars's cookie production cost, we must find the minimum of two expressions: su (bags of sugar), and po + 2so (canisters of peanut oil and twice the canisters of soybean oil). Given that Lars wants to make 24 boxes of cookies, we have y = min{su, po + 2so} = 24. Assuming he uses only one type of oil for simplicity, and that oil is either peanut oil (po) or soybean oil (so), we can write two separate equations: su = 24 and po + 2so = 24.
We then calculate the minimum cost of producing 24 boxes of cookies using the given ingredient prices: $5 per bag of sugar, $9 per canister of peanut oil, and $19 per canister of soybean oil.
If the price of soybean oil decreases by $1 (to $18) and the price of peanut oil increases by $1 (to $10), these changes will affect the minimum cost of producing 24 boxes of cookies. The new costs for oils will potentially make soybean oil a more attractive option, depending on the quantities needed, hence, adjusting the formula for calculating the minimum cost.
Calculating Economic Value Added East Mullett Manufacturing earned operating income last year as shown in the following income statement: Sales $630,000 Cost of goods sold 380,000 Gross margin $250,000 Selling and administrative expense 174,400 Operating income $ 75,600 Less: Income taxes (@ 40%) 30,240 Net income $ 45,360 Total capital employed equaled $381,000. East Mullett's actual cost of capital is 8 percent. Required: Calculate the EVA for East Mullett Manufacturing. $
Answer:
$14,880
Explanation:
The formula to compute EVA is shown below:
= Net operating income or earnings after taxes - (Total capital employed × cost)
= $45,360 - ($381,000 × 8%)
= $45,360 - $30,480
= $14,880
We simply applied the economic value added formula so that the accurate value can come.

he following information relates to a company’s defined benefit pension plan at December 31:
Accumulated benefit obligation: $1,035,000
Projected benefit obligation: 1,250,000
Prior service cost: 113,000
Net gain on plan assets: 167,000
Plan assets (fair value): 737,000
What amount should the company report as its pension liability at December 31?
Final answer:
The company should report a pension liability of $513,000 at December 31, calculated by subtracting the fair value of the plan assets ($737,000) from the Projected Benefit Obligation ($1,250,000).
Explanation:
To calculate the company's pension liability at December 31, we need to look at the Projected Benefit Obligation (PBO) and the fair value of the plan assets. The company's PBO is $1,250,000 and the plan assets are valued at $737,000. The pension liability is simply the PBO minus the fair value of plan assets. Therefore, the pension liability equals $1,250,000 - $737,000 = $513,000.
This means the company should report a pension liability of $513,000 at December 31. This is the amount by which the obligations exceed the plan's assets. Note that neither the accumulated benefit obligation, prior service cost, nor the net gain on plan assets affect the calculation of the pension liability.
A call option with an exercise price of $30 and four months to expiration has a price of $4.10. The stock is currently priced at $29.80, and the risk-free rate is 4 percent per year, compounded continuously. What is the price of a put option with the same exercise price? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
price is $3.90
Explanation:
given data
exercise price = $30
four months to expiration price = $4.10
stock currently priced = $29.80
risk free rate = 4 % per year
to find out
What is the price of a put option with the same exercise price
solution
we know that put call parity that is express as
S + P = C + E × [tex]e^{-rt}[/tex] ........................1
here S is stock price and P is put price and R is risk free rate and C is call price and t is time to maturity and E is exercise price
so put here all these value in equation 1 we get
P = C + E × [tex]e^{-rt}[/tex] - S
P = 4.10 + 30 × [tex]e^{-0.04*\frac{4}{12}}[/tex] - 29.80
P = 3.90
so price is $3.90
The price of a put option with the same exercise price as the call option is $4.30.
Explanation:To find the price of a put option with the same exercise price as the call option, we can use the put-call parity formula. The put-call parity formula states that the price of a call option plus the present value of the exercise price equals the price of a put option plus the current stock price. We can rearrange this formula to solve for the price of the put option:
Put Price = Call Price + Exercise Price - Stock Price
Substituting the given values, we have:
Put Price = $4.10 + $30 - $29.80 = $4.30
Therefore, the price of a put option with the same exercise price is $4.30.
