Answer:
Mistake of ignoring secondary effects
Explanation:
Whenever there arises an adverse impact of a policy and it's implementation, owing to ignorance of secondary consequences, it is termed as ignoring secondary effects.
In short, it refers to assessing and viewing only the positive aspects of a policy or a move, meanwhile not taking into consideration the other adverse consequences which are also associated with the same policy.
In the given case, the environmentalists have only considered the generation of alternative sources of energy via windmills which will lead to preservation of fossil fuels. The proposed policy has been implemented without taking into account it's flip side i.e the harm it causes to bat population and migratory birds.
Thus, it can be stated that the environmentalists herein only considered the favorable outcome of a policy implementation and ignored the adverse effect of the same. Hence, they are said to have committed the mistake of ignoring the secondary effects.
To raise revenues, the City of St. Cloud required restaurants to purchase a special permit if they wanted to serve food in an open-air patio. While at Hola Taco, a restaurant in St. Cloud, a customer notices that Hola Taco’s permit expired. Consequently, the customer refused to pay for her food. Because Hola’s Taco’s permit expired, the customer is not legally required to pay for her food.
a) true
b) false
Answer: B. False
Explanation: Even when Hola's Taco's permit has expired a customer does not have the right to refused payment for consuming its goods and services. It is only the authority, a constituted body that regulate and grant permit can sanction Hola's Taco.
So therefore, the customer is legally required to pay for his food, even though Hola's Taco have expired permit.
The expiration of a restaurant's open-air patio permit does not absolve the customer from the legal obligation to pay for the food consumed. Payment is for food and service received, not the status of the restaurant's permit.
Explanation:The issue presented is whether the expiration of a restaurant's special permit to serve food in an open-air patio impacts the legal obligation of a customer to pay for their food. The answer is b) false. Customers are legally obliged to pay for the food and services they have received, irrespective of the restaurant's permit status.
The permit is an agreement between the restaurant and the city, and its expiration does not constitute a defense for non-payment for a customer. The customer benefits from the food and service, not the permit. And, unless the law specifically provides for such an exception, which is unlikely, the customer's legal obligation to pay remains intact.
As a business owner, you find that your resource prices are increasing often. Because these costs are rising, you find it necessary to change your prices frequently. This best describes: Group of answer choices money illusion. menu costs. hyperinflation. a price confusion problem. future price uncertainty.
Answer:
B. MENU COST
Explanation:
Menu cost refers is the cost incured due to rapid changes in prices. When changing prices of products or services, firms and organizations incur additional cost, this cost is what we refer to as menu cost. With continuous changes, the cost adds up in term of money and time. This is why firms aren't encouraged to changing prices indiscriminately. However in situations like the one presented in the question, with constant changes in the price of inputs used, business owner must also change prices of outputs produced.

Zino Company determines that a customer balance of $200,from Hollis Co. is uncollectible. Zino uses the allowance method to account for bad debts. The entry to write off the uncollectible balance will include a: debit to Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and a credit to Accounts Receivable. debit to Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and a credit to Bad Debts Expense. debit to Bad Debts Expense and a credit to Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. debit to Accounts Receivable and a credit to Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.
Answer:
The correct answer is A
Explanation:
The journal entry to be posted to write off the balance of uncollectible is as:
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts A/c..........................Dr $200
Accounts Receivable A/c.......................................Cr $200
As the allowance method is used so the accounts receivable account will be credited and the allowance for doubtful accounts is debited with the amount which is recovered that is $200.
Allowance method is generally refer to one of the ways for reporting the uncollectible or bad debt expense which results from a company selling the goods on credit.
The correct answer is: debit to Bad Debts Expense and a credit to Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.
When a company uses the allowance method to account for bad debts, it records an estimate of uncollectible accounts as an expense on the income statement and as a contra-asset on the balance sheet. This is done to match the bad debt expense with the revenue earned in the same period.
In this scenario, Zino Company has determined that a specific customer balance of [tex]$200[/tex] from Hollis Co. is uncollectible. Since the allowance method was used, the company would have already estimated and recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts. When it is determined that a specific account is uncollectible, the entry to write off this uncollectible balance involves the following:
1. Debit the Bad Debts Expense account for the amount of the uncollectible balance. This increases the Bad Debts Expense, which is reported on the income statement and reflects the cost of the uncollectible account in the period in which it was determined to be uncollectible.
2. Credit the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for the same amount. This decreases the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, which is a contra-asset account on the balance sheet, reducing the net value of the accounts receivable.
The entry does not involve a debit to the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts because this account is being used to offset the Accounts Receivable. Nor does it involve a credit directly to Accounts Receivable, as the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts serves as a buffer for the write-off of specific uncollectible accounts.
Therefore, the correct journal entry to write off the [tex]$200[/tex] uncollectible balance would be:
Debit to Bad Debts Expense: [tex]$200[/tex]
Credit to Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: [tex]$200[/tex]
This entry ensures that both the income statement and the balance sheet reflect the correct financial position of the company after accounting for the bad debt.
Fall is approaching, and Angelina wants to sell the remaining summer items that remain in stock so that she can reinvest the cash generated from those sales in fresh fall merchandise. She plans to offer a discount that declines over time (for example, 30 percent off on day 1, 20 percent off on day 2, and 10 percent off on day 3). What type of discount is she planning to use?
Answer:
Angelina plans to use steadily decreasing discount.
Explanation:
Steadily decreasing discount refers to the strategy in which a retailer slowly or steadily reduces his/her discounts on a commodity rather than just moving the commodity back to its original price immediately after the sale period ends. This is an effective strategy because it makes the consumers know that the prices are likely to increase in the future and this will prompt them to make purchases today.
Therefore, in the scenario given above, Angelina hopes to make customers purchase her merchandise today by using the steadily decreasing discount strategy.

The Blooming Flower Co. has earnings of $3.68 per share. a. If the benchmark PE for the company is 18, how much will you pay for the stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. If the benchmark PE for the company is 21, how much will you pay for the stock?
Answer:
a) $66.24
b) $77.28
Explanation:
The price to earnings ratio (PE ratio) is a valuation used by investors to determine if a stock is overvalued or undervalued.
Payment for stock is the product of Benchmark PR ratio and earnings per share.
Given that the earnings per share is $3.68 per share
a) If the benchmark PE for the company is 18
Payment for stock = Benchmark PR ratio × earnings per share = 18 × $3.68 per share = $66.24
a) If the benchmark PE for the company is 21
Payment for stock = Benchmark PR ratio × earnings per share = 21 × $3.68 per share = $77.28
a. You would pay $66.24 for the stock if the benchmark PE for the company is 18. b. You would pay $77.28 for the stock if the benchmark PE for the company is 21.
a. Calculate the stock price with a benchmark PE of 18:
Stock Price = Earnings per share × PE ratio
Stock Price = $3.68 × 18 = $66.24
b. Calculate the stock price with a benchmark PE of 21:
Stock Price = Earnings per share × PE ratio
Stock Price = $3.68 × 21 = $77.28
Therefore, if the benchmark PE for the company is 18, you would pay $66.24 for the stock, and if the benchmark PE is 21, you would pay $77.28.
A company is trying to decide whether to sell partially completed goods in their current state or incur additional costs to finish the goods and sell them as complete units. Which of the following is not relevant to the decision?

Answer:
b-the costs incurred to process the units to this point
Explanation:
Since in the question it is given that the company want to decide whether to sell partially completed goods or should incurred extra cost in order to finished the goods and sells them as a completed unit
So there should be the decision regarding selling price for the units that are completed, the selling price for the units that are partially completed and the cost i.e to be incurred for finishing the units
A firm in a perfectly competitive market has a fixed cost of $1,000 and a variable cost of $500 while it is earning the revenue of $510. In such a situation, the firm ________ shut down in the short run because _______________________________.
Answer:
Firm should not shut down, as it is able to cover its Average Variable Cost
Explanation:
Perfect Competition firms in Short Run : The firms produce even if their average revenue (price) < their average total costs (AC). They continue production until Average variable cost (AVC) ≥ per unit price (P) i.e average revenue (AR). This is called Shut Down Point. P lower beyond AVC implies that firm won't continue even in short run.
Given : Variable Cost (VC) = 500 ; Revenue (R) = 510
Average Variable Costs & Average Revenue are variable costs & revenue, per unit quantity. AVC = VC / Q ; AR (P) = R / Q
R i.e 510 > VC i.e 500
So, R/ Q i.e AR is also > VC / Q i.e AVC
Since AVC > AR (P), firm should not shut down
If a governmental entity issued $3,000,000 in bonds, received a $500,000 federal capital grant, and transferred $750,000 to a Capital Projects Fund from the General Fund, the Capital Projects Fund financial statements should report Other Financing Sources (OFS) of:_______. a. $500,000 b. $750,000 c. $3,750,000 d. $4,250,000
Answer:
Option "D" is the correct answer to the following question.
Explanation:

A sales associate employs a licensed personal assistant. The assistant will prepare CMAs, design property flyers, hold open houses, and prospect for listing appointments. The assistant will be paid a salary of $12 per hour and 20% of the commissions received by the sales associate. Which method of payment will satisfy all legal requirements?
Answer:
A) the associate may pay the salary and withhold taxes, but the broker must pay commissions.
Explanation:
The sales associate works for the broker and his/her assistant works for him. Therefore the sales associate is responsible for paying the assistant's salary and withhold taxes since he is the employer. But since the assistant will also earn 20 percent of the sales associate's commissions, that should be paid by the broker directly (80% to the sales associate and 20% to the assistant).
Funn Company's account balances at December 31, 2020, for accounts receivable and the related allowance for uncollectible accounts were $1,500,000 and $90,000, respectively.

Therefore the accounts receivable amount expected to be collected after adjustment is $1,375,000.
Answer:
D. $1,375,000.
Explanation:
Funn Company's
Account balances
At December 31, 2020,
Accounts receivable $1,500,000
Allowance for uncollectible accounts $90,000
Bad Debts December 31 $125,000
When the allowance for uncollectible method is used only the allowance for uncollectibles is deducted for the accounts receivable for financial statements
$1,500,000 - $90,000=$ 1410,000
But as the Bad debts ( uncollectibles) is higher than the allowance for uncollectibles the bad debts will be deducted from the accounts receivables.
The allowance of uncollectibles will be raised to the amount of bad debts.
so the the accounts receivable amount expected to be collected after adjustment is $1,500,000 - $125,000=$ 1375,000
Suppose a monopoly concrete contractor builds 20 driveways per month for $10,000 each. In order to increase sales to 21 driveways, the contractor must lower the price of driveways to $9,500. The marginal revenue of the 21st driveway is:_________.
a. $500.
b. $199,500.
c. -$500.
d. $9,500.
Answer:
The marginal revenue of the 21st driveway is: -$500. The right answer is C.
Explanation:
In order to calculate the the marginal revenue of the 21st driveway, we have to calculate first the total revenue from 20 driveways.
Total revenue from 20 driveways = 20×$10,000= $200,000
Next, we calculate the Revenue from 21 driveways = 21×$9,500 = $199,500
Therefore, The Marginal revenue from 21th driveways = =$199,500-$200,000 =-$500
A 22-year-old college graduate just got a job in Nashville. She is considering buying a house with a $200,000 mortgage. The APR is 4% compounded monthly for her monthly mortgage payments on a 30-year fixed rate loan. If she can get her FICO score up to 750, the APR drops to 3.6%. How much in interest cost will she save over the life of the loan assuming she can increase her FICO score to 750?
By improving her FICO score to 750 and lowering the APR from 4% to 3.6% on a $200,000 mortgage over 30 years, the 22-year-old college graduate will save approximately $16,392 in interest costs.
Explanation:The question asks how much interest cost a 22-year-old college graduate will save on a $200,000 mortgage if the APR drops from 4% to 3.6% by increasing her FICO score to 750, with a 30-year fixed-rate loan compounded monthly. To calculate the savings in interest, we first need to determine the monthly payment for both interest rates using the formula for a fixed-rate mortgage, then calculate the total cost over 30 years for both scenarios and subtract the totals to find the savings.
Using the formula M = P[r(1+r)^n]/[(1+r)^n - 1], where:
M is the monthly payment,P is the principal loan amount,r is the monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12 months),n is the number of payments (loan term in years multiplied by 12).For an APR of 4%, r = 0.04/12. For 3.6%, r = 0.036/12. Calculating each scenario:
At 4% APR, the monthly payment ends up being approximately $954.83.At 3.6% APR, the monthly payment is approximately $909.29.The total cost of the loan can then be calculated by multiplying the monthly payment by the total number of payments (360).
The total interest paid over the life of the loan thus is:
For the 4% APR: approximately $343,738.For the 3.6% APR: approximately $327,346.Therefore, the savings in interest cost by improving the FICO score to 750 and securing an APR of 3.6% would be approximately $16,392.
If the individual can increase her FICO score to 750 and qualify for the lower APR of 3.6%, she would save approximately $26,898.48 in interest costs over the life of the loan.
To calculate the interest cost savings over the life of the loan, we'll first find the total interest paid for each scenario: one with an APR of 4% and the other with an APR of 3.6%. Then, we'll subtract the total interest paid with the lower APR from the total interest paid with the higher APR to find the savings.
Given:
- Principal amount (mortgage): $200,000
- Loan term: 30 years
- Compounding frequency: monthly
Step 1: Calculate the monthly interest rate for both APRs.
[tex]\[ \text{Monthly Interest Rate (APR 1)} = \frac{4\%}{12} = 0.04 \times \frac{1}{12} = 0.00333 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Monthly Interest Rate (APR 2)} = \frac{3.6\%}{12} = 0.036 \times \frac{1}{12} = 0.003 \][/tex]
Step 2: Calculate the number of monthly payments over the loan term.
[tex]\[ \text{Number of Payments} = \text{Loan Term} \times \text{Compounding Frequency} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Number of Payments} = 30 \times 12 = 360 \][/tex]
Step 3: Calculate the monthly payment using the formula for the monthly payment of an amortizing loan:
[tex]\[ \text{Monthly Payment} = \frac{P \cdot r}{1 - (1 + r)^{-n}} \][/tex]
Where:
- ( P ) = principal amount (mortgage)
- ( r ) = monthly interest rate
- ( n ) = number of payments
For APR 1:
[tex]\[ \text{Monthly Payment (APR 1)} = \frac{200,000 \times 0.00333}{1 - (1 + 0.00333)^{-360}} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Monthly Payment (APR 1)} ≈ \frac{666}{0.44832} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Monthly Payment (APR 1)} ≈ 1486.68 \][/tex]
For APR 2:
[tex]\[ \text{Monthly Payment (APR 2)} = \frac{200,000 \times 0.003}{1 - (1 + 0.003)^{-360}} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Monthly Payment (APR 2)} ≈ \frac{600}{0.42594} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Monthly Payment (APR 2)} ≈ 1408.63 \][/tex]
Step 4: Calculate the total payments over the loan term:
[tex]\[ \text{Total Payments (APR 1)} = \text{Monthly Payment (APR 1)} \times \text{Number of Payments} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Total Payments (APR 1)} ≈ 1486.68 \times 360 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Total Payments (APR 1)} ≈ 534,805.28 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Total Payments (APR 2)} = \text{Monthly Payment (APR 2)} \times \text{Number of Payments} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Total Payments (APR 2)} ≈ 1408.63 \times 360 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Total Payments (APR 2)} ≈ 507,906.8 \][/tex]
Step 5: Calculate the total interest paid:
[tex]\[ \text{Total Interest (APR 1)} = \text{Total Payments (APR 1)} - \text{Principal Amount} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Total Interest (APR 1)} ≈ 534,805.28 - 200,000 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Total Interest (APR 1)} ≈ 334,805.28 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Total Interest (APR 2)} = \text{Total Payments (APR 2)} - \text{Principal Amount} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Total Interest (APR 2)} ≈ 507,906.8 - 200,000 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Total Interest (APR 2)} ≈ 307,906.8 \][/tex]
Step 6: Calculate the interest cost savings:
[tex]\[ \text{Interest Cost Savings} = \text{Total Interest (APR 1)} - \text{Total Interest (APR 2)} \][/tex]

The common stock of Contemporary Interiors has a beta of 1.13 and a standard deviation of 21.4 percent. The market rate of return is 12.7 percent and the risk-free rate is 4.1 percent. What is the cost of equity for this firm
Answer:
Cost of equity =13.82%
Explanation:
The capital asset pricing model is a risk-based model. Here, the return on equity is dependent on the level of reaction of the the equity to changes in the return on a market portfolio. These changes are captured as systematic risk. The magnitude by which a stock is affected by systematic risk is measured by beta.
Under CAPM, Ke= Rf + β(Rm-Rf)
Rf-risk-free rate (treasury bill rate) - 4.1
β= Beta-1.13
Rm= Return on market- 12.7
Ke= 4.1% + 1.13× (12.7- 4.1 )%
Ke =13.82%

Samson Company reported total manufacturing costs of $320,000, manufacturing overhead totaling $52,000, and direct materials used totaling $64,000. How much is direct labor cost? Cannot be determined from the information provided. $268,000 $256,000 $204,000
Answer:
$204,000
Explanation:
Given that
Total manufacturing costs = $320,000
Manufacturing overhead = $52,000
Direct materials = $64,000
The computation of direct labor cost is shown below:-
Direct labor cost = Total manufacturing costs + Manufacturing overhead + direct materials
= $320,000 - $52,000 - $64,000
= $204,000
Therefore for computing the direct labor cost we simply applied the above formula.
Final answer:
The direct labor cost for Samson Company is calculated by subtracting the manufacturing overhead and direct materials used from the total manufacturing costs, which equals $204,000.
