An unexpected decrease in oil prices increases aggregate supply by shifting the aggregate supply curve to the right, while a mandated increase in health insurance contributions by producers leads to a decrease in aggregate supply, shifting the curve to the left.
For each of the following scenarios, the effect on aggregate supply can be determined based on the changes in production costs and other relevant factors:
a. There is an unexpected decrease in oil prices.The rationale behind these effects is that a decrease in oil prices reduces production costs, allowing firms to supply more at the same price levels, thereby shifting the curve to the right. Conversely, an increase in mandatory health insurance contributions raises production costs, leading to a reduced quantity of goods and services supplied at the same price levels, which shifts the aggregate supply curve to the left.

Ziegler Corporation reports net income of $380,000 and a weighted-average of 200,000 shares of common stock outstanding for the year. Compute the earnings per share of common stock
Answer:
$1.90 per share
Explanation:
The computation of the earning per share is shown below:
Earning per share = (Net income - preference dividend) ÷ (weighted-average of shares of common stock)
= ($380,000 - $0) ÷ (200,000 shares)
= $1.90 per share
By dividing the net income with the weighted average number of shares of common stock we can get the earning per share
Final answer:
To calculate the earnings per share for Ziegler Corporation, divide the net income of $380,000 by the 200,000 shares outstanding, giving an EPS of $1.90 per share. This figure aids investors in evaluating the company's per-share profitability and contributes to the P/E Ratio's determination.
Explanation:
To compute the earnings per share (EPS) for Ziegler Corporation, you divide the company's net income by the weighted-average number of common stock shares outstanding. According to the information provided, Ziegler Corporation reports a net income of $380,000 and there are 200,000 shares of common stock outstanding. Therefore, the EPS calculation is as follows:
Earnings Per Share = Net Income / Weighted-Average Shares Outstanding:
$380,000 / 200,000 shares$1.90 per shareThis EPS figure is a significant indicator used by investors to assess the company's profitability on a per-share basis and is often factored into the Price to Earnings (P/E) Ratio, which helps determine the value and investment potential of a stock.
Valuing Trading Securities at Fair Value On January 1, Valuation Allowance for Trading Investments had a zero balance. On December 31, the cost of the trading securities portfolio was $41,500, and the fair value was $46,300. Prepare the December 31 adjusting journal entry to record the unrealized gain or loss on trading investments.
Answer:
Dr. Trading securities $4,800
Cr. Unrealized gain on trading securities $4,800
Explanation:
Trading securities are recorded reported on the fair market value. The gain or loss arise from the increase or decrease in the value of trading securities. There is a gain if the price of trading security increases and loss when the price of the trading security decreases. Unrealized gains are reported in the separate section of stockholders equity.
Gain on Trading securities = Fair value of security portfolio - Cost of security portfolio = $46,300 - $41,500 = $4,800

Explanation:
September Payments for Purchases include
40% of September Sales60% of August SalesSchedule of Cash Payments for Purchases For the Month Ending September
September Sales ($36,000×40%) = $14,400
August Sales ($40,000×60%) = $24,000
Total = $38,400
Answer:
Th e cash payments in the month of September is $38,400
Explanation:
August September
Cash payment $16,000 $14,400
balance of August purchases $24,000
September total payments $38,400
In August 40% of $40,000 would be paid since $40,000 was the worth of the purchases in August i,e $40000*40%=$16,000
In September the remaining 60% of $40,000 is due for payment i.e $40,000*60%=$24,000
In September 40% of the month purchases is due for payment,that is $36,000*40%=$14,400
The balance of 60% of $36,000 would be paid in October.
Suppose a bank enters a repurchase agreement in which it agrees to buy Treasury securities from a correspondent bank at a price of $33,950,000, with the promise to buy them back at a price of $34,000,000. a. Calculate the yield on the repo if it has a 5-day maturity. b. Calculate the yield on the repo if it has a 15-day maturity.
Answer:
a. 10.60%
b. 3.53%
Explanation:
a. Calculate the yield on the repo if it has a 5-day maturity.
Profit = $34,000,000 − $33,950,000 = $50,000
Using 360 days a year, we have:
Yield on the repo = ($50,000/$33,950,000)*(360/5) = 0.1060, or 10.60%
b. Calculate the yield on the repo if it has a 15-day maturity.
Using 360 days a year also, we have:
Yield on the repo = ($50,000/$33,950,000)*(360/15) = 0.0353, or 3.53%
An economy is operating with output $300 billion above its natural level, and fiscal policymakers want to close this expansionary gap. The central bank agrees to adjust the money supply to hold the interest rate constant, so there is no crowding out. The marginal propensity to consume is 3/5, and the price level is completely fixed in the short run.
Required:
1. To close the expansionary gap, the government would need ____________.
Answer:
$120 billion
Explanation:
Economy operating at $300 billion above its natural level of output.
Marginal propensity to consume, MPC = 3/5 = 0.6
For closing this expansionary gap, the government have to decrease its spending by the amount calculated as follows:
Spending multiplier:
= 1/ (1 - MPC)
= 1/ (1 - 0.6)
= 1/ 0.4
= 2.5
Hence, the government spending reduces by
= Expansionary gap ÷ Spending multiplier
= $300 ÷ 2.5
= $120 billion

Using your answer from part (c), calculate the expected return of the portfolio and verify that it matches your answer to part (b). a. Compute the beta and expected return of each stock. (Round to two decimal places.) Portfolio Weight (A) Volatility (B) Correlation (C) Beta (D) Expected Return (E) HEC Corp 0.28 10 % 0.48 nothing nothing% Green Widget 0.34 30 % 0.58 nothing nothing% Alive And Well 0.38 11 % 0.59 nothing nothing%
Answer:
Explanation:
Portfolio Weight Volatility Correlation and Market Portfolio
HEC Corp 0.28 10% 0.48
Green Widget 0.34 30% 0.58
Alive And Well 0.38 11% 0.59
a. (i) Calculation of Beta
Coefficient of correlation = Covariance / (SD security*SD market)
HEC Corp: 0.28 = Covariance / (0.10*0.10)
Covariance = 0.0028
Beta of HEC Corp = Covariance / Market variance
= 0.0028 / 0.12² = 0.1944
Beta of HEC Corp = 0.19
Green Widget: 0.34 = Covariance / (0.30*0.10)
Covariance = 0.0102
Beta of Green Widget = Covariance / Market variance
= 0.0102 / 0.30² = 0.113
Beta of Green Widget= 0.11
Alive And Well: 0.38 = Covariance / (0.11*0.10)
Covariance = 0.00418
Beta of Alive And Well = Covariance / Market variance
= 0.00418 / 0.11² = 0.345
Beta of Alive And Well = 0.35
(ii) Calculation of expected return
Expected return = Risk free rate + Beta(Expected return of market - Risk free rate)
HEC Corp = 3 + 0.19 (8-3) = 3.95%
Green Widget = 3 + 0.11 (8-3) = 4=3.55%
Alive And Well = 3 + 0.35 (8-3) = 4.75%
b. Expected return of Portfolio = (3.95 x 0.28) + (3.55 x 0.34) + (4.75 x 0.38) = 4.118%
Expected return of Portfolio = 4.12
c. Beta of portfolio = (0.19 x 0.28) + (0.11 x 0.34) + (0.35 x 0.38) = 0.2236
Beta of portfolio = 0.2236
d. Expected return of portfolio = Risk free rate + Portfolio Beta(Expected return of market - Risk free rate)
= 3 + 0.2236 (8-3) = 4.118%
Expected return of portfolio = 4.12%
The regular selling price per chaise lounge is $290. The company is analyzing the opportunity to accept a special sales order for 1200 chaise lounge at a price of $210 per unit. Fixed costs would remain unchanged. The company has the capacity to produce 55,000 chaise lounges per year, but is currently producing and selling 9000 chaise lounges per year.

Returns and Actions Kunal Nayyar from London, had $60,000 in investments in the USA at the beginning of the year that consisted of a diversified portfolio of stocks (40 percent), bonds (40 percent), and cash equivalents (20 percent). His returns over the past 12 months were 14 percent on stocks, 5 percent on bonds, and 1 percent on cash equivalents. What is Kunal's average return for the year? Round your answer to one decimal place. % If Kunal wanted to rebalance his portfolio to its original position, what specific actions should he take?
Answer:
Average rate of return is 7.8% , and total amount is $4,680
If Kunal wanted to rebalance his portfolio to its original position, he needs to transfer $672 (= $25,872 - $25,200) from stock account to bond account and $816 ( = $12,936 - $12,120) from stock account to cash.
Explanation:
Total return for year = 14% * (40% of $60,000) + 5% * (40% of $60,000+ 1% *(20% of $60,000) = $4,680
Average rate of return = $4,680/ $60,000 = 7.8%
At beginning, the amount in per diversified portfolio is as below:
Amount invested in stock = 40% * $60,000 = $24,000 Amount invested in bond = 40% * $60,000 = $24,000 Amount in cash = 20% *$60,000 = $12,000
After receiving return, the amount in per diversified portfolio is as below:
Amount invested in stock = $24,000 *(1+14%) = $27,360
Amount invested in bond = $24,000 *(1+5%) = $25,200 Amount in cash = $12,000 * (1 + 1%) = $12,120
And amount in Kunal’s investment fund = $27,360 + $25,200 + $12,120 = $64,680
If Kunal wanted to rebalance his portfolio to its original position, the amount in per diversified portfolio is as below:
Amount invested in stock = 40% * $64,680 = $25,872
Amount invested in bond = 40% * $64,680 = $25,872 Amount in cash = 20% * $64,680 = $12,936
⇒ Kunal needs to transfer $672 (= $25,872 - $25,200) from stock account to bond account and $816 ( = $12,936 - $12,120) from stock account to cash.
Georgia Meadows Company uses the high-low method to analyze production costs. The following information relates to the production data for the first six months of the year. Month Cost(Y) Hours(H) January $ 8,542 6,530 February $ 7,750 5,950 March $ 9,700 7,500 April $ 7,435 5,700 May $ 7,200 5,500 June $ 9,263 6,750 What is the estimated total cost at an operating level of 8,000 hours?
Answer:
Total cost= $10,325
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Month Cost(Y) Hours(H)
January: $8,542 - 6,530
February: $7,750 - 5,950
March: $9,700 - 7,500
April: $7,435 - 5,700
May: $7,200 - 5,500
June: $9,263 - 6,750
To calculate the total cost under the high-low method, we need to use the following formulas:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (9,700 - 7,200) / (7,500 - 5,500)
Variable cost per unit= $1.25 per hour
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 9,700 - (1.25*7,500)= $325
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 7,200 - (1.25*5,500)= $325
Now, for 8,000 hours:
Total cost= 325 + 1.25*8,000= $10,325

STOCKHOLDERS'S EQUITY
Contributed Capital
Common Stock (29000 shares x $ 1 par) $29,000
Preferred Stock (19500 shares x $ 10 par) $195,000
Paid in Capital in excess of Common Stock at par ($841000 - $29000) $812,000
Paid in Capital in excess of Preferred Stock at par (19500 shares x ($39 - $10)) $565,500
Total Contributed Capital (sum of all of the above) $1,601,500
Retained Earnings ( $59,000 - $10,000) $49,000
Total Stockholder's Equity (Retained Earnings to contributed cap) $1,650,500
If you need any clarification do comment.
The total stockholder's equity will be $1650500.
The total stockholder's equity will be calculated thus:
Contributed Capital
Common Stock = 29000 x $1 = $29,000
Preferred Stock = 19500 x $10 par = $195,000
Paid in Capital in excess of Common Stock at par = $841000 - $29000 = $812,000
Paid in Capital in excess of Preferred Stock at par = $19500 shares x ($39 - $10) = $565,500
Total Contributed Capital = $1,601,500
Retained Earnings = $59,000 - $10,000 = $49,000
Therefore, the total stockholder's equity will be:
= $1,601,500 + $49,000
= $1,650,500

In July, direct labor cost was $32,300. August direct labor cost was $35,400. The company finds that typically 90% of direct labor cost is paid in cash during the month, with the remainder paid in the following month. August overhead amounted to $71,200, including $6,350 of depreciation. Fein had taken out a 4-month loan of $15,000 on May 1. Interest, due with payment of principal, accrued at the rate of 9% per year. The loan and all interest were repaid on August 31. (Note: Use whole months to compute interest payment.)
Answer: $191,590
Explanation:
August Payments on accounts payable:
From JULY PURCHASES - $77,000 x 80%
$77,000 × 0.8 = $61,600
From August purchases - $73,000 x 20% $73,000 × 0.2 = $14,600

Option A: The entry provided debits the vacation benefits expenses and credits the prepaid vacation benefits. The liability for the vacation credit earned by the employees during the month needs to be recorded so this is not an adjustment of an advance vacation benefit.
Option C: The required entry has nothing to do with taxes so not relevant.
Option D: The entry is to record the liability for vacations earned by the employees so an expenses has to be recorded.
Option E: The option reduces the liability and reduces the expenses which is against the requirement of the question
What are corrective actions, how does the project manager know that corrective action is needed, how are the root causes of corrective actions determined, how is the effectiveness of a corrective action measured, and what happens if the necessary corrective action is not performed in a timely fashion
Answer:
1. Corrective actions are actions executed to prevent occurrences of an identified hazard or to prevent the recurrence of an issue. Corrective actions may also question and seek proper handling of a weakness identified in a safety management system.
2. Project managers employ corrective actions when a specific task or project may have lost focus or somehow deviated form the pre-specified direction it was intended to take.
3. The root causes of corrective actions are determined by confirming the identified root cause causes. Basically, a corrective action should correspond to the root cause identified earlier in order to eliminate the real root cause and prevent recurrence of the problem.
4. Verifying the effectiveness of corrective and preventive actions (CAPAs) closes the gap between identifying a problem and completing the actions to solve it. It is reasonable to assume that if a problem is worth solving, it's also worth verifying that the solution worked.
5. It could result to total loss in product or a ruin in the normal sequence of an existing system

The accounting for asset exchanges depends on whether the exchange has commercial substance or not. With commercial substance, the entry involves recording the new asset at its full value, and recognizing gains or losses. Without commercial substance, the entry usually involves recording the new asset at the book value of the old asset plus any cash paid.
Explanation:The question involves journal entries associated with the exchange of assets in accounting, specifically related to Skysong Company's purchase of a new electric wax melter.
First, let's look at the situation when the exchange has commercial substance:Debit Equipment ($17,380: list price of new melter) Credit Accumulated Depreciation ($6,930: accumulated depreciation of old melter) Credit Equipment ($12,320: cost of old melter) Credit Cash ($11,000: cash paid) Now, for the situation where the exchange lacks commercial substance: The calculations might become complex and may require additional data. Usually, the entry would involve recording the new asset at the book value of the old asset (cost - accumulated depreciation), plus cash paid. The gain or loss would then be deferred or recognized depending on the specific circumstances.This type of transactions are guided by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 845, which relates to nonmonetary transactions.

A textbook publisher produces a textbook for $25 per book and sells a lot of 160 to the Campus Bookstore for $50 per unit. The bookstore sells the textbook new for $75 and used for $60. This edition of the book is used for 2 years (4 semesters). The bookstore sells all textbooks that it has at the beginning each semester, and it repurchases 50% of those at the end of each semester for $30. What is the net profit for the publisher (sales - costs) over the life of this 160-unit lot of textbooks
Answer:
$4,000
Explanation:
The net profit of the publisher over the useful life of the 160-unit lot of textbooks is the difference between his selling price to the bookstore and the cost incurred multiplied by the number of unit.
Hence the net profit of the publisher
= 160( $50 - $25)
= 160 * $25
= $4,000
Final answer:
The net profit for the publisher is $4,000.
Explanation:
To calculate the net profit for the publisher over the life of a 160-unit lot of textbooks, we first determine the revenue generated from selling these books to the Campus Bookstore and then subtract the costs incurred in producing them. The publisher sells each textbook for $50 and incurs a production cost of $25 per textbook.
The total revenue from selling 160 textbooks to the Campus Bookstore is 160 books × $50/book = $8,000.
The total cost of producing these textbooks is 160 books × $25/book = $4,000.
Therefore, the net profit for the publisher over the life of this 160-unit lot of textbooks is $8,000 - $4,000 = $4,000.
Job A3B was ordered by a customer on September 25. During the month of September, Jaycee Corporation requisitioned $3,300 of direct materials and used $4,800 of direct labor. The job was not finished by the end of September, but needed an additional $3,800 of direct materials and additional direct labor of $7,300 to finish the job in October. The company applies overhead at the end of each month at a rate of 100% of the direct labor cost incurred. What is the total cost of the job when it is completed in October?
Answer:
$35,300
Explanation:
At the end of September total cost =
Material=$3,300
Labour=4800
Overheads(100% ×4800)=4800
Total=12,900
At the end of October total cost=
Material=3800
Labour=9300
Overheads(100% of 9300)=9300
Total=$22400
Total cost of the job at the end of October when it is completed
=$22,400$+$12,900
=$35,300
Therefore the total cost of the job when it is completed in October is $35,300
Final answer:
The total cost of Job A3B is calculated by summing the direct materials, direct labor, and applied overhead for both September and October, resulting in a total cost of $31,300.
Explanation:
The total cost of Job A3B when it is completed in October is calculated by adding the cost of direct materials, direct labor, and applied overhead for both months.
Direct materials: $3,300 (September) + $3,800 (October) = $7,100
Direct labor: $4,800 (September) + $7,300 (October) = $12,100
Applied overhead: Since overhead is applied at a rate of 100% of direct labor cost, it will be equal to the total direct labor cost. Therefore, applied overhead = $12,100.
Now, add up all the costs to find the total production cost:
Total cost = Direct materials + Direct labor + Applied overhead
Total cost = $7,100 + $12,100 + $12,100 = $31,300
Therefore, the total cost of Job A3B is $31,300.
A DI has two assets: 50 percent in one-month T-bills and 50 percent in real estate loans. If the DI must liquidate its T-bills today, it receives $98 per $100 of face value; if it can wait to liquidate them on maturity (in one month's time), it will receive $100 per $100 of face value. If the DI has to liquidate its real estate loans today, it receives $90 per $100 of face value. However, liquidation of real estate loans at the end of one month will produce $92 per $100 of face value. The one-month liquidity index value for this DI's asset portfolio is:
Answer:
Explanation:
The one-month liquidity index value for this DI's asset portfolio
= weight of T-bills * (value of T-bill today / value of T-bills after one month) + weight of real estate loan * (value of real estate loan today / value of real estate loan after one month)
= 50% * ($97 / $ 100) + 50% ($93/ $94)
= 0.5 * 0.97 + 0.5 *0.9894 = 0.9797
Therefore one-month liquidity index value for this DI's asset portfolio is 0.98.
Final answer:
The one-month liquidity index value of a depository institution's asset portfolio with 50% in T-bills and 50% in real estate loans is 0.97915.
Explanation:
The question asks about computing the one-month liquidity index value of a depository institution's (DI) asset portfolio, which comprises 50 percent in one-month T-bills and 50 percent in real estate loans. The liquidity index is a measure of how much less the DI would obtain if it had to liquidate assets today compared to their value at maturity in one month. To calculate this, we must compare the liquidation values (immediate cash received) for each asset type against their face value if held to maturity.
For the T-bills:
Immediate liquidation: $98 per $100 of face value
Value at maturity: $100 per $100 of face value
For the real estate loans:
Immediate liquidation: $90 per $100 of face value
Value at maturity: $92 per $100 of face value
The liquidity index for each asset type is calculated by dividing the immediate liquidation value by the value at maturity:
T-bills liquidity index = $98 / $100 = 0.98
Real estate loans liquidity index = $90 / $92 = 0.9783
As the portfolio is evenly split between the two assets, the overall liquidity index value of the asset portfolio is the average of the two individual indices:
Overall liquidity index = (0.98 + 0.9783) / 2 = 0.97915
Blue Split sells ice cream cones in a variety of flavours. The following are data for a recent week: Revenue (1,000 cones at $1.85 each) $1,850 Cost of ingredients $660 Rent 540 Store attendant 640 1,840 Pretax income $10 The manager estimates that if she were to increase the price of cones from $1.85 to $2.02 each, weekly volume would be cut to 850 cones due to competition from other nearby ice cream shops. Estimate the profit-maximizing price per cone.
Answer:
$1.40
Explanation:
Per cent change in price = ($2.02– $1.85)/$1.85 = +9%
Per cent change in demand = (1000 – 850)/1000 = –15%
The elasticity is = ln(1 + per cent change in quantity sold)/ln(1 + per cent change in price)
= ln(1 – 0.15)/ln(1 + 0.09)
= –0.16252/0.08618
= –1.886
Variable cost = $660/1000
Profit-maximising price = [–1.886/(–1.886+1)]*$0.66 = $1.40
Listed below are various transactions that a company incurred during the current year. Select the impact on total stockholders’ equity for each scenario. Specifically state whether stockholders’ equity would increase (I), decrease (D), or have no effect (NE) as a result of each transaction listed below. Consider each transaction independently.
1. No par common stock is issued.
2. Treasury stock is sold at cost for cash (assume the cost method).
3. Treasury shares of preferred stock are purchased (assume the cost method).
4. A payment date occurs for a cash dividend.
Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
1. No par common stock is issued. NO EFFECT (NE)
There is no effect because this neither increases nor does it reduce Equity.
2. Treasury stock is sold at cost for cash (assume the cost method). INCREASE (I).
This transaction increases equity as Treasury stock is being put into the market. Treasury stock is equity in the company that the company had repurchased.
3. Treasury shares of preferred stock are purchased (assume the cost method). DECREASE (I)
Buying Treasury whether Preferred or Ordinary reduces equity in the company as the company is essentially taking back ownership from owners.
4. A payment date occurs for a cash dividend. DECREASE (D)
Paying out dividends to shareholders has the effect of reducing equity.
Answer:
1.No par issue of common stock -stockholders' equity increases(I)
2.Sale of treasury stock at cost-stockholders' equity increases(I)
3.Purchase of preferred shares-reduces stockholders' equity(D)
4.Payment of cash dividend-no impact on stockholders' equity(NE)
Explanation:
Considering the first transaction of no par common stock issuance,this would increase the value of common stock ,hence stockholders' equity would increase.
Treasury stock sale would increase the stockholders' equity since the company has to receive cash consideration from the affected investors and also reduce treasury stock and concurrently increase total paid-in capital.
Purchase of treasury stock implies reduction in cash and also increase in treasury stock of prefered stock which is negative adjustment to total paid-in capital and retained earnings.
A payment of cash dividend dividend does any affect shareholders' equity since the retained earnings would have been debited at declaration date and dividend payable credited.
Capital budgeting is: the process of finding the cost to start a new project. the process of deciding which project to do to increase the firm’s value. the process of budgeting companies monthly revenue and cost. the process of estimating how long the life of a new project. None of the above.
Answer:
the process of deciding which project to do to increase the firm’s value.
Explanation:
Some of the Capital budgeting methods include:
1. internal rate of return- internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.
2. Cash pay back period- it is the period it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from its cummulative cash flows.
3. Net present value: net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

Capital budgeting is the process by which firms decide which long-term investments will maximize their value, involving the analysis of potential earnings and the source of capital required for these investments.
Capital budgeting is the process of deciding which project to do to increase the firm’s value. It involves evaluating the long-term profitability and financial impact of potential investments and projects. Firms raise financial capital to fund these projects, which can come from early-stage investors, reinvesting profits, borrowing, or selling stock.
Capital budgets differ from operating budgets in that they are used for long-term investments in assets like buildings and machinery, and are part of a capital improvement plan identifying long-term spending needs.
Unlike operating budgeting, which includes recurring spending items for day-to-day operations such as salaries and utilities, capital budgeting focuses on investments that will benefit the firm in the future, like purchasing new equipment or building new facilities. These decisions are crucial because they can impact a firm's earnings for years to come. Therefore, capital budgeting often involves cost analysis, comparison with potential revenues, and consideration of the cost of various sources of capital.

Beta Company expects to incur overhead costs of $20,000 per month and direct production costs of $125 per unit. The estimated production activity for the upcoming year is 1,000 units. If the company desires to earn a gross profit of $50 per unit, the sales price per unit would be which of the following amounts
A) $379
B) $187
C) $136
D) $195
Answer:
$415
Explanation:
For computing the sales per unit first we have to determine the total sales value which is shown below:
Direct Production costs (1,000 units × $125) $125,000
Fixed Overhead costs for the year = $20,000 × 12 months = $240,000
Total Costs for the year $365,000
Gross Profit desired (1,000 units × $50) $50,000
Total Sales Value desired = Costs + Profit $415,000
Now
Sales price per unit is
= $415,000 ÷ 1,000 units
= $415
This is the answer but the same is not provided
The sales price per unit needed for Beta Company to achieve a gross profit of $50 per unit is $195, calculated by adding the per-unit production and overhead costs to the desired profit margin.
Explanation:To calculate the sales price per unit that Beta Company needs in order to achieve a gross profit of $50 per unit, we need to consider the given costs and desired profit margin. The company expects overhead costs of $20,000 per month. With an estimated production activity of 1,000 units, these fixed costs become $20 per unit (overhead costs / estimated production). The direct production cost is $125 per unit. Adding these costs together we get the total cost per unit, which is $125 (direct costs) + $20 (overhead per unit) = $145 per unit. To achieve a gross profit of $50, we add this desired profit to the total cost per unit, resulting in a sales price per unit of $195 ($145 + $50).
Ollie Company experienced the following events during its first-year operations: 1. Acquired $72,000 cash from the issue of common stock. 2. Borrowed $26,000 from the First City Bank. 3. Earned $59,000 of cash revenue. 4. Incurred $43,000 of cash expenses. 5. Paid a $7,000 cash dividend. 6. Paid $43,000 to purchase land. Required: Prepare a statement of changes in stockholders' equity.
Answer and Explanation:
The preparation of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity is presented below:
Ollie Company
Statement of changes in stockholders' equity
Beginning common stock $0
Add: Common stock issuance $72,000
Ending common stock $72,000
Beginning retained earning $0
Add: Net income $16,000 ($59,000 - $43,000)
Less: cash Dividend paid -$7,000
Ending retained earning $9,000
Total stockholder equity $81,000 ($72,000 + $9,000)
The ending total stockholders' equity for Ollie Company in its first-year operations would be $81,000. This is after considering the money gained from issuing common stock, net income, and cash dividend paid.
Explanation:The statement of changes in stockholders' equity for Ollie Company for its first-year operations would include the following:
The company acquired $72,000 cash from the issue of common stock. The common stock amount should increase by $72,000.The company did not issue any additional stock nor did it repurchase any stock, hence other factors affecting the common stock remain the same.The company borrowed $26,000. This transaction affects liabilities, not the stockholder's equity. Thus, this event won't be reflected on the statement of changes in stockholders' equity.The company earned $59,000 of cash revenue and incurred $43,000 of cash expenses. The difference becomes net income of $16,000. This amount is added to beginning retained earnings.The company paid a $7,000 cash dividend, which reduces retained earnings by $7,000.So the ending total stockholders' equity for Ollie Company would be the sum total of $72,000 (from issuing common stock), $16,000 (net income), and -$7,000 (cash dividend), which sums to a total of $81,000.

A used car can be kept for two more years and then sold for an estimated $3000, or it could be sold now for $7500. The average annual maintenance cost over the past 7 years has been $500 per year. However, if the car is kept for two more years this cost is expected to be $1800 the first year and $2000 the second year. As an alternative a new car can be purchased for $22,000 and be used for 4 years, after which it can be sold for $8000. The new car will be under warranty for the first 4 years, and not extra maintenance cost will be incurred during those years. If the MARR is 15% per year what is the better option and why?
a. Keep car, do not buy new one because EUAC Defender is $5111 and EUAC of Challenger is $6104
b. Buy new car because EUAC of challenger is $4904 and EUAC and defender is $5111
c. Buy new car because EUAC of Challenger is -$9308 and EUAC of defender is $498
Final answer:
To determine whether to keep an old car or buy a new one, you calculate and compare the Equivalent Uniform Annual Cost (EUAC) for each, taking into account all costs and the time value of money as per the Minimum Attractive Rate of Return (MARR). The option with the lower EUAC is usually preferred, signaling better economic value over time. Due to discrepancies in the information provided, a precise recommendation cannot be made without accurate data.
Explanation:
Evaluating the Economic Merits of Keeping vs. Buying a Car
To decide between keeping a used car or buying a new one, we need to calculate and compare the Equivalent Uniform Annual Cost (EUAC) for each option. A challenge in this business decision lies in accounting for all associated costs including purchase, maintenance, and sale price, and the time value of money represented by the Minimum Attractive Rate of Return (MARR) over a given period.
For the used car (Defender), we have:
- Future sale price in two years: $3000
- Maintenance costs for the next two years: $1800 and $2000 respectively
- Selling now price: $7500
Calculating the EUAC for the used car incorporates these costs and the MARR of 15%.
The new car (Challenger) would require:
- Initial purchase price: $22,000
- Sale price after 4 years: $8000
- Maintenance costs: $0 (due to warranty)
Again, calculating the EUAC for the new car incorporates the purchase and future sale price and considers the MARR of 15%.
To make an informed decision, we would perform a detailed calculation for each option's EUAC, compare the results, and choose the option with the lower EUAC, indicating a more economical choice over time. However, the information provided appears to contain a discrepancy, and without correct data or further clarification, we cannot provide an exact answer. The concept of EUAC is essential for understanding how to evaluate such financial decisions effectively.
Lyons Company deducts insurance expense of $210,000 for tax purposes in 2018, but the expense is not yet recognized for accounting purposes. In 2019, 2020, and 2021, no insurance expense will be deducted for tax purposes, but $70,000 of insurance expense will be reported for accounting purposes in each of these years. Lyons Company has a tax rate of 40% and income taxes payable of $180,000 at the end of 2018. There were no deferred taxes at the beginning of 2018. What is the amount of the deferred tax liability at the end of 2018?
Answer:
$84,000
Explanation:
Deferred tax liability at the end of 2018 = Amount of insurance expense × Tax rate = $210,000 × $40% = $84,000
Therefore, the amount of the deferred tax liability at the end of 2018 is $84,000.

If businesses are confident about an increase in demand for their products, they will Select the correct answer below: expand production and reduce investment spending expand production and investment spending reduce production and investment spending reduce production and expand investment spending
Answer:
expand production and investment spending
Explanation:
If there is high likelihood of surge in demand, then supply should be such that it should be able to meet those demands. Hence, to increase supply production should be increased .
Second production cost is sum of fixed cost and variable cost. While fixed cost (cost which remains constant such as rent, labor charges and other cost which does not change with unit of production) remains same but variable cost will increase as variable cost is dependent on number of units of goods produced. So, when production increases variable cost will increase and hence investment will increase.
Thus, correct answer will increase production and investment spending.
Suppose you are a manager of a firm that operates in a duopoly. Recently, the state attorney general fined you and your competitor for price fixing. In your market, firms only set prices, not total quantities to sell. From previous experience, you know your competitor has a marginal cost of $ 2.42 . Further, your marginal costs are $ 2.40 . The previous cartel price was $10.00, when you and your competitor were price fixing. What price level do you now choose to maximize profits
Answer:
$2.41
Explanation:
Anytime there is price fixing between two competitors,
if one competitor chooses to fix price it should not exceed competitors marginal cost (price) and should be above his marginal cost (price).
Since, the price fixing of $10 will be fined (previous cartel price). Then, the ideal price to maximize the profit would be below the competitor's price ($2.42) and above his marginal cost ($2.40).
Thus, the ideal price to maximize profits would be $2.41, which is above his marginal cost and below competitor price
