Answer:
1. $2,200 Favorable ; $4,600 Unfavorable
2. $1,500 Unfavorable ; $2,500 Favorable
Explanation:
1. Material price variance:
= Actual quantity × Standard cost per unit-Actual cost
= (11,000 × $2.30) - ($2.10 × 11,000 )
= $2,200 Favorable
Material quantity variance:
= (Standard quantity × Standard cost per unit) - (Actual quantity × Standard cost per unit )
= (1,500 × 6 × $2.30) - (11,000 × $2.30)
= $4,600 Unfavorable
2. Labor rate variance:
= (Actual hours × Standard rate) - Actual labor paid
= (500 × $10) - $6,500
= $1,500 Unfavorable
Labor efficiency variance:
= (Standard hours × Standard rate) - (Actual hours × Standard rate )
= (1,500 × 0.50 × $10) - (500 × $10)
= $2,500 Favorable
ABC and XYZ are all-equity firms. ABC has 1,750 shares outstanding at a market price of $20 a share. XYZ has 2,500 shares outstanding at a price of $28 a share. XYZ is acquiring ABC for $36,000 in cash. The incremental value of the acquisition is $3,000. What is the net present value of acquiring ABC to XYZ?
Answer:
$2,000
Explanation:
The computation of the net present value is shown below:
= Number of outstanding shares × market price per share + incremental value of the acquisition - acquired value in cash
= 1,750 shares × $20 + $3,000 - $36,000
= $35,000 + $3,000 - $36,000
= $2,000

At December 31, 2012 and 2013, Plank Corp. had outstanding 3,000 shares of $100 par value 8% cumulative preferred stock and 15,000 shares of $10 par value common stock. At December 31, 2012, dividends in arrears on the preferred stock were $12,000. Cash dividends declared in 2013 totaled $45,000. What amounts were payable on each class of stock?Preferred Stock Common Stock
Answer:
Preference shareholders = $36,000
Equity shareholders = $9,000
Explanation:
As provided the outstanding preference dividend at end of 2012 = $12,000
Total cash dividends declared = $45,000 in the year 2013
Regular preference dividends = $100 [tex]\times[/tex] 3,000 [tex]\times[/tex] 8% = $24,000
Thus, when dividends will be paid in 2013 then firstly they will be used for payment to preference shareholders.
Thus, the company shall pay:
$12,000 + $24,000 = $36,000 to preference shareholders.
Further the balance will be paid to equity shareholders.
= $45,000 - $36,000 = $9,000
Connors Corporation acquired manufacturing equipment for use in its assembly line. Below are four independent situations relating to the acquisition of the equipment.
"A. The equipment was purchased on account for $40,000. Credit terms were 2/10, n/30. Payment was made within the discount period and the company records the purchases of equipment net of discounts.
B. Connors gave the seller a noninterest-bearing note. The note required payment of $42,000 one year from date of purchase. The fair value of the equipment is not determinable. An interest rate of 12% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation.
C. Connors traded in old equipment that had a book value of $13,500 (original cost of $29,000 and accumulated depreciation of $15,500) and paid cash of $37,000. The old equipment had a fair value of $8,500 on the date of the exchange. The exchange has commercial substance.
D. Connors issued 2,500 shares of its no-par common stock in exchange for the equipment. The market value of the common stock was not determinable. The equipment could have been purchased for $40,000 in cash."
Answer:
A: we reocrd at cost, which is the discounted price:
40,000 x (1 - 2%) = 39,200
Equipment 39,200 debit
Cash 39,200 credit
B: we discount the note implicit interest:
42,000 / 1.12 = 37,500
Equipment 37,500 debit
Note payables 37,500 credit
C: Because; there is commercial substance we recognize the loss on the old equipment as the book value is 13,500 while it is being traded at 8,500
We write off, post the cash used and the loss. The new equipment enter the accounting for the difference to blaance the entry:
equipment 45,500 debit
acc depreciation 15,500 debit
loss at disposal 5,000 debit
cash 37,000 credit
equipment 29,000 credit
D: we evaluate the equipment at fair value
Equipment 40,000 debit
common stock 2,500 credit
additional paid-in 37,500 credit

Both assets A and B plot on the SML. Asset A has an expected return of 15% and a beta of 1.7, and asset B has an expected return of 12% and a beta of 1.1. What is the risk-free rate of return?
a. 5.0%
b. 6.5%
c. 11.5%
d. It cannot be determined from this information
Final answer:
By setting up two equations based on the CAPM formula and the provided expected returns and betas for assets A and B, we solve for the risk-free rate of return, which is found to be 5.0%. The correct answer is option (A)
Explanation:
The Security Market Line (SML) depicts the relationship between an asset's expected return and its beta with respect to the market. It is based on the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), which is defined as:
Expected Return = Risk-Free Rate + Beta x (Market Return - Risk-Free Rate)
Based on the information given for assets A and B, we can set up two equations using their expected returns and betas:
1. 0.15 = Risk-Free Rate + 1.7 x (Market Return - Risk-Free Rate) for Asset A
2. 0.12 = Risk-Free Rate + 1.1 x (Market Return - Risk-Free Rate) for Asset B
To find the Risk-Free Rate, we have a system of two equations with two unknowns (Risk-Free Rate and Market Return). Solving this system algebraically:
Isolate the Risk-Free Rate terms on one side and simplify the equations.Find the value of Market Return by solving any of the equations.Substitute the value of Market Return back into either equation to find the Risk-Free Rate.After solving, we find that the risk-free rate of return is 5.0% (Option a).
Cameron Company had 10,000 shares of common stock authorized and 9,500 shares issued and outstanding at the beginning of the year. There were no stock transactions during the year. During the year, the company reported net income of $30,000. Cameron Company has no preferred stock authorized. The company's basic earnings per share (rounded to two decimal points) is
Answer:
The basic earnings per share of the company is $3.16.
Explanation:
The formula to compute the basic earnings per share is as:
Basic earnings per share = (Net Income - Preferred dividends) / Weighted average common shares outstanding
where
Net Income is $30,000
Preferred dividends is $0
Weighted average common shares outstanding is 9,500
Putting the values in the above formula:
= ($30,000 - $0) / 9,500
= $30,000 / 9,500
= $3.16 per share
An owner lists his home and agrees to pay a 6% commission provided he nets $10,000 after paying the commission and the balance of his mortgage, which is $75,000. To the nearest dollar, what should the selling price be to net the owner his $10,000?
Answer:
selling price is $90425.53
Explanation:
GIVEN DATA:
Commission 6%
net funds $10,000
mortgage is $75,000
Required selling price is given as
[tex]= \frac{Net\ funds\ required}{1 - commission}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{10,000 + 75000}{1 - 0.06}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{85000}{0.94}[/tex]
=$90425.53
selling price is $90425.53
To find the selling price that will net the owner $10,000, subtract the commission and mortgage balance from the selling price and solve for x. The selling price should be $90,425.
Explanation:To find the selling price that will net the owner $10,000, we need to take into account the 6% commission and the balance of the mortgage. Let's represent the selling price as x. The commission would be 0.06x, and the balance of the mortgage is $75,000. So, the equation we can set up is:
x - 0.06x - $75,000 = $10,000
To solve for x, we can combine like terms:
0.94x - $75,000 = $10,000
Then, we can isolate x by adding $75,000 to both sides:
0.94x = $85,000
Dividing both sides by 0.94:
x = $90,425
Therefore, the selling price should be $90,425 to net the owner $10,000.
Matthew's Fish Fry has a monthly target operating income of $6,600. Variable expenses are 80% of sales and monthly fixed expenses are $840. What is the monthly margin of safety in dollars if the business achieves its operating income goal?
A. $29,760
B. $41,400
C. $33,000
D. $37,200
Answer:
The correct answer is C
Explanation:
Break even Sales is computed as:
Contribution margin ratio = Fixed Cost / Break even Sales
where
Contribution margin ratio = 1 - Variable expense of 80%
= 20%
Fixed Cost is $840
30% = $840 / Break even Sales
Break even Sales = $840 / 20%
= $4,200
The actual sales is computed as:
Actual Sales = (Fixed Cost + Desired Profit) / Contribution margin ratio
= ($840 + $6,600) / 20%
= $7,440 / 0.2
= $37,200
The margin of safety is computed as:
Margin of Safety = Actual Sales - Break even sales
= $37,200 - $4,200
= $33,000
Consider the following statement: "The Fed has an easy job. Say it wants to increase real GDP by $200 billion. All it has to do is increase the money supply by that amount." The statement is ▼ correct incorrect because an increase in the money supply ▼ does does not affect real GDP directly.
Answer:
The statement is incorrect
Explanation:
As the statement correctly describes, the money supply does not directly affect real GDP, what it affects directly is the interest rate, and the inflation rate, which are monetary variables, while GDP is a variable that measures output.
When the Fed increases the money supply, it may be doing so with the hope of stimulating economic activity, and thus, increasing GDP, but the Fed knows that any effect will be indirect. What will happen under this expansionary monetary policy is that the interest rate will fall, and as it falls, the supply of loans will grow, investment will become cheaper, and more investment means more factors of production, or more productivity, which in turn, increase the real GDP, but as it can be seen, the effect is indirect.
In fact, if the FED goes overboard with increasing the money supply, it may cause high inflation or even hyperinflation, and these events actually lead to less investment, less saving, and less economic activity, resulting in a probable stagnation or contraction of GDP.
What is credit??????
Answer:
Credit is the provision of money or bills, based on a loan agreement between the bank and another party that requires the borrower to carry out the amount of interest in return
Note :

Credit:
Credit is the customer's ability to obtain services or goods before payment, based on the confidence that money to be paid will be made by him/her in the future.
In accounts, credit in an entry recording is a sum received listed on the right-hand side or column of an account.
Your financial power is part of the credit. You get what you need today, such as a car loan or a credit card, depending on the assurance that you can pay later. Planning to strengthen your mortgage helps ensure that you apply for credit if you need it.
Your statement is the basis for determining your credit score by the various financial reporting agencies that the borrowers use to assess your value of loan.

Two economists estimate the government expenditure multiplier and come up with different results. One estimates the multiplier at 0.75, while the other comes up with an estimate of 1.25. Explain why these estimates are different in terms of the assumptions that each economist is making.
A. Compared to the first economist, the second economist is assuming a longer time frame for the effects of the increased expenditure to be observed.
B. Compared to the first economist, the second economist must be assuming either a smaller induced increase in consumption, a larger crowding out effect, or both.
C.Compared to the first economist, the second economist must be assuming either a larger induced increase in consumption, a smaller crowding out
D. Unlike the first economist, the second economist miust be assuming that the government expenditure is devoted to useful projects.
If the current value of GDP is $14.42 trillion and the government is planning to increase spending by $900 billion (all in one year), the percentage increase in GDP using the multiplier estimate of the first economist is 4.68 percent. (Round your response to two decimal places) Using the multiplier estimate of the second economist and the same current value of GDP, the percentage increase in GDP is percent. (Round your response effect, or both. to two decimal places.)
Answer: (B)
Compared to the first economist, the second economist must be assuming either a smaller induced increase in consumption, a larger crowding out effect, or both.
Explanation:
First of all, I'll like to explain some terms:
- Government Expenditure Multiplier is an index or figure showing the percentage by which Gross domestic product (GDP) will increase, when Government Expenditure increases; all other kinds of expenditure held constant
- the GDP equation is
GDP= C + I + G + (X-M)
Where C = consumption expenditure (by individuals)
I = investment expenditure (by firms)
G = government expenditure
(X-M) = international trade (export-import) expenditure
- If we hold other independent variables constant and measure the government expenditure multiplier, we will derive the index that shows the amount by which an increase in G will increase GDP.
Now to the question;
Crowding out effect means an act by the government to purchase so much more domestic goods and services than they previously purchased.
This is done deliberately by the government for various reasons: to boost the economy, to provide social welfare goods, and to kick-start national projects.
It is called "crowding out" because these huge government purchases limit private sector purchases.
If the 2nd economist assumes a larger crowding out effect, that means greater government expenditure, then this rhymes with the higher GM (government expenditure multiplier) that his estimate produces. GM of 1.25 means that a percent increase in G will increase GDP by 25%.
On the other hand, Economist 1's estimate of 0.75 implies a 25% decrease in GDP (coming from a decrease in G), which explains his part of option B. He (economist 1) is assuming a lesser crowding out effect.
If we add the assumption of Economist 2 that there'll be smaller induced increase in consumption, it follows that C will have a less positive impact on GDP.
If we combine both changes in C and G, we also have G producing more increase in GDP.
You are welcome.
Answer:
the correct answer is B
"Compared to the first economist, the second economist must be assuming either a smaller induced increase in consumption, a larger crowding out effect, or both".
Explanation:
Government use multiplier used to show increment in level of GDP when government use increment other than consistent of other consumption.
Gross domestic product = c+I+g + ( x-m)
In the event that we steady all use or free factors expected g which is meant government consumption at that point to compute government multiplier the expansion in g consequently increment in GDP.
Swarming impact:- under this administration buy all the more increasingly residential merchandise and ventures which limits private division buy and this circumstance is gotten swarming out.
So if financial specialist second have bigger swarming exertion implies government use increment and this lead higher government multiplier . Gm of 1.25 implies that percent expansion in g lead GDP increment by 25% .
Financial specialist second gauge 0.75 methods 25% abatement in GDP .
Why, with the monetary policy tools it had used prior to the financial crisis, could the Fed not control the federal funds rate?
(A) The Fed would have needed to conduct a massive open market purchase of government securities.
(B) Investor and consumer behavior was not conforming to normal patterns.
(C) Using the tools the Fed had available would have disrupted the financial system.
(D) Reserves would have needed to be increased by too large an amount.
Answer:
(C) Using the tools the Fed had available would have disrupted the financial system.
Explanation:
Every time the solution of any problem is not available with the resources we have, rather the available resources might add up to the cost of damage.
In the given case also, this general phenomenon is applicable.
As the Fed had monetary policy tools, which it even used earlier are not good for the problem of financial crisis. That the policies could even turn the situation worse as the country is already facing the crisis, and the policies would not contribute to the well being.

Current operating income for Bay Area Cycles Co. is $74,000. Selling price per unit is $120, the contribution margin ratio is 30%, and fixed expense is $250,000. Required: 1. Calculate Bay Area Cycle’s breakeven point in units and total sales dollars. (Round your Unit answer to nearest whole units and other answer to the nearest whole dollar.) 2. Calculate Bay Area Cycle’s margin of safety and margin of safety ratio. (Do not round your intermediate answers and Round your percentage answer to the 1 decimal place and other answer to nearest whole dollar)
Answer:
1. 6,944 units and $833,333.33
2. $1,080,000 and 22.83%
Explanation:
The computations are shown below:
1. Break-even point in units
= (Fixed expenses ) ÷ (Contribution margin per unit)
where,
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit × contribution margin ratio
= $250,000 ÷ $36
= 6,944 units
Break-even point in sales
= (Fixed expenses ) ÷ (Contribution margin ratio)
= $250,000 ÷ 30%
= $833,333.33
2. For margin of safety and margin of safety ratio:
Margin of safety = Expected sales - break even sales
where,
Expected sales = (Operating income + fixed expense) ÷ (contribution margin ratio)
= ($74,000 + $250,000)
= ($324,000) ÷ (30%)
= $1,080,000
So, the margin of safety would be
= $1,080,000 - $833,333.33
= $246,667
Margin of safety ratio = Margin of safety ÷ total sales
= $246,667 ÷ $1,080,000
= 22.83%
Bay Area Cycles Co.'s breakeven point is approximately 6945 units or $833,400 in total sales dollars. Its margin of safety is -$586,733 with a margin of safety ratio of -238%.
Explanation:To determine the breakeven point in units for Bay Area Cycles Co., we use the formula: Fixed Costs / Contribution Margin per Unit. Contribution margin per unit can be calculated as 30% of $120 (selling price per unit), which is $36. Hence, the breakeven point in units would be $250,000 / $36 = approximately 6944.44 units, rounded up to 6945 units as units cannot be fractional. The breakeven point in sales dollars would be 6945 units * $120 = $833,400.
To calculate the margin of safety, we subtract the breakeven revenue from the actual revenue. The actual revenue is $74,000 (operating income) / 30% (contribution margin ratio) = $246,667 (round to the nearest dollar). Hence, the margin of safety is $246,667 - $833,400 = -$586,733. The negative value suggests the company is not breaking even yet. The margin of safety ratio would be the margin of safety / actual sales = -$586,733 / $246,667 = -238 %.

Required information The Foundational 15 [LO9-1, LO9-2, LO9-4, LO9-5, LO9-6] [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Preble Company manufactures one product. Its variable manufacturing overhead is applied to production based on direct labor-hours and its standard cost card per unit is as follows: Direct material: 5 pounds at $8.00 per pound $ 40.00 Direct labor: 2 hours at $14 per hour 28.00 Variable overhead: 2 hours at $5 per hour 10.00 Total standard variable cost per unit $ 78.00 The company also established the following cost formulas for its selling expenses: Fixed Cost per Month Variable Cost per Unit Sold Advertising $ 200,000 Sales salaries and commissions $ 100,000 $ 12.00 Shipping expenses $ 3.00 The planning budget for March was based on producing and selling 25,000 units. However, during March the company actually produced and sold 30,000 units and incurred the following costs: Purchased 160,000 pounds of raw materials at a cost of $7.50 per pound. All of this material was used in production. Direct-laborers worked 55,000 hours at a rate of $15.00 per hour. Total variable manufacturing overhead for the month was $280,500. Total advertising, sales salaries and commissions, and shipping expenses were $210,000, $455,000, and $115,000, respectively. Foundational 9-12 12. What amounts of advertising, sales salaries and commissions, and shipping expenses would be included in the company’s flexible budget for March?
Answer:
Consider the following calculations
Explanation:
The amounts of advertising, sales salaries and commissions, and shipping expenses would be included in the company’s flexible budget for March are calculated below.
Flexible budgetAdvertising = 200.000
Sales salaries and commissions [100.000 + (12.00 * 30.000 )] = 460.000
Shipping expenses [(3.00 * 30.000)]= 90.000
The flexible budget for March for Preble Company would account for $200,000 in advertising, $360,000 in sales salaries and commissions and $90,000 in shipping expenses.
Explanation:The flexible budget adjusts with the level of activity and in this case, it's based on the number of units being produced and sold.
In Preble Company, the advertising expense is fixed at $200,000, so in calculating the flexible budget for March, the advertising cost will still be $200,000.
The variable costs such as sales salaries, commissions and shipping expenses change with the level of activity. Since these costs are $12 per unit sold, the sales salaries and commissions for March will amount to $12 * 30,000 units = $360,000.

2. You have just completed an analysis of Rodriguez Manufacturing. You used the Capital Asset Pricing Model to determine that the required rate of return is 13%. The last dividend paid was $1.80, and the current price is $25. Based on new manufacturing processes that the company recently adopted and the company’s history of consistently paying dividends, you believe the company’s dividends will grow at a constant growth rate of 6%.
Answer:
You didn´t post the question complete. So I found the expected rate of return. Hope be useful.
Explanation:
Required rate of return on stock = 13%
Expected rate of return is calcualted below Using DDM model:
Expected rate of return = [$1.80 × (1 + 6%) / ($25)] + 6%
= ($1.908 / $25) + 6%
= 7.632% + 6%
= 13.632%
Expected rate of return is 13.632%.

An author has signed a contract in which the publisher promises to pay her $10,000 plus 20 percent of gross receipts from the sale of her book. True or false: If both the publisher and the author care only about their own financial return from the project, then the author will prefer a higher book price than will the publisher.
Answer:
False. The author will NOT prefer a higher book price than will the publisher.
Explanation:
It is evident from the diagram -please check the attached image to the exercise- that the author wants to set a lower price than the publisher (to sell the higher quantity) .
A contract can be said as an agreement that derives its enforceability by law.
The statement "If both the publisher and the author care only about their own financial return from the project, then the author will prefer a higher book price than will the publisher" is FALSE.
What is a promise in a contract?When one party signifies its assent to the other party to perform the obligation it is said to be a promise. However, when two persons or two parties agree to perform the obligations for consideration then it becomes an agreement.
What is the financial return?The financial return is nothing but the profits generated in terms of money by selling a product or by rendering a service.
Here, if the author and publisher only care about their individual financial return, in that case, the author will never agree to the deal of $10,000 and 20% of the sale proceeds.
The author has done all the hard work and any rational person will never settle just for a 20% share of the sales proceeds of their own creation.
Therefore, the statement "If both the publisher and the author care only about their own financial return from the project, then the author will prefer a higher book price than will the publisher" is FALSE.

Dividends Paid and Dividends in Arrears The Glendora Company has 200,000 shares of cumulative, five percent, $100 par value preferred stock outstanding. Last year the company failed to pay its regular dividend, but the board of directors would like to resume paying its regular dividend this year. Calculate the dividends in arrears and the total dividend that must be paid this year. Dividend in arrears $Answer Total dividend $Answer
Answer:
Dividend in arrears $ 1,000,000
Total Dividend $ 2,000,000
Explanation:
The dividend at 5% of $100 par value is $5 per unit of shares. Recall, each unit of the preference shares has a par value of $100
Dividend calculation = $5 multiplied by the total unit of shares
previous year shares dividend is 5 x 200, 000 unit of shares = $ 1,000,000
This year total dividend payout will be current year of $1,000,000 plus previous year of $1,000,000 = $2,000,000
Answer:
Dividend in arrears $1,000,000
Total dividend $2,000,000
Explanation:
Where there is a cumulative preferred stock, any unpaid dividend on such stock must be accrued for and paid when management determined to pay them as such divided is more of a liability than equity.
In the case of Glendora Company, as the management did not pay the cumulative preferred dividend last year, such amount must be provided for and paid together with current year dividend. The amount of dividend payable on the preferred stock each year is (200,000 units x $100 each x 5%) = $1,000,000 per annum.
The amount will double the following year thereby making the divided payable to $2,000,000 as follows:
Accrued dividend $1,000,000
Current year dividend $1,000,000
Total amount due $2,000,000
Katzev Company manufactures a personal computer designed for use in schools and markets it under its own label. Katzev has the capacity to produce 40,000 units a year but is currently producing and selling only 32,000 units a year. The computer’s normal selling price is $750 per unit with no volume discounts. The unit-level costs of the computer’s production are $250 for direct materials, $225 for direct labor, and $62.50 for indirect unit-level manufacturing costs. The total product- and facility-level costs incurred by Katzev during the year are expected to be $2,000,000 and $500,000, respectively. Assume that Katzev receives a special order to produce and sell 6,000 computers at $562.50 each.
Should katzev accept or reject the special order?
Answer:
Accept the special order.
Explanation:
To accept a special order, the price of the special order should be lower than the making price.
If Katzev accepts the special order,
the revenue ($562.50 x 6,000 computers) = $3,375,000
Less: Avoidable costs (Unit-level costs)
Materials ($250 x 6,000) 1,500,000
Direct labor ($225 x 6,000) 1,350,000
Manufacturing costs 375,000
($62.5 x 6,000)
Total Avoidable costs $3,225,000
Profit if accepts the special order $ 150,000
As the company will receive profit, the company should accept the order.
Note: Fixed costs cannot be avoided irrespective of accepting order or making products. Therefore, total product- and facility-level costs are not deducted.
Considering the incremental cost and revenue, and the company's production capacity, it is beneficial for Katzev to accept the special order as it would result in additional profits.
Explanation:To determine whether Katzev Company should accept the special order, Katzev needs to consider the incremental cost and incremental revenue associated with accepting this order. The unit-level cost of a computer is $250 for direct materials, $225 for direct labor, and $62.50 for indirect unit-level manufacturing costs. So, the total unit-level cost is $537.50 per computer. Multiplying by 6,000 for the special order yields an incremental cost of $3,225,000.
On the revenue side, the special order price is $562.50, so multiplying by 6,000 computers equals $3,375,000. So, the incremental revenue is higher than the incremental cost, meaning the company would make a profit from accepting the special order. Also, it's noted that the company has the capacity to produce 40,000 units but is currently only producing 32,000 units. This means that the company has enough capacity to fill this special order without having to incur additional costs. Therefore, given these considerations, Katzev should accept the special order.

A. imperfect information; thin marketB. adverse information; decline in prices or quantities of products soldC. adverse selection; decline in prices or quality of purchased goodsD. imperfect selection; thick market
Answer:
The answer is letter A.
Explanation:
The presence of ___imperfect information__________________ in transactions involving goods can easily cause a _____thin market_________________ if the result is only a relatively small number of buyer and sellers communicating enough information so that they can agree on a price.
Final answer:
The correct answer to the fill-in-the-blank question is 'imperfect information' and 'thin market'. These terms describe a market situation where few buyers and sellers are active due to uncertainties about product quality, resulting in difficulty determining prices and lower market participation.
Explanation:
The presence of imperfect information in transactions involving goods can easily cause a thin market if the result is only a relatively small number of buyers and sellers communicating enough information so that they can agree on a price. Economists describe a market with few participants as a thin market, which often occurs when imperfect information is present and makes it difficult for consumers to assess the quality of the goods, leading to lower participation from buyers and sellers. This scenario is representative of how market thickness and information quality can influence economic transactions.
A machine that cost $192,000 has an estimated residual value of $24,000 and an estimated useful life of 24,000 machine hours. The company uses units-of-production depreciation and ran the machine 6,000 hours in year 1, 7,000 hours in year 2, and 8,000 hours in year 3.
The book value of the machine at the end of year 3, using the units-of-production depreciation method, is $144,000. This is calculated based on the machine's actual usage of 8,000 hours in year 3.
To calculate the book value at the end of year 3 using the units-of-production depreciation method, we'll follow these steps:
1. Determine the depreciation per machine hour:
[tex]\[\text{Depreciation per Hour} = \frac{\text{Cost} - \text{Residual Value}}{\text{Total Estimated Machine Hours}}\][/tex]
2. Calculate the accumulated depreciation for each year:
[tex]\[\text{Accumulated Depreciation} = \text{Depreciation per Hour} \times \text{Actual Machine Hours}\][/tex]
3. Determine the book value at the end of each year:
[tex]\[\text{Book Value} = \text{Cost} - \text{Accumulated Depreciation}\][/tex]
Let's calculate it:
Given:
- Cost = $192,000
- Residual Value = $24,000
- Estimated Useful Life = 24,000 machine hours
- Actual Machine Hours in Year 1 = 6,000 hours
- Actual Machine Hours in Year 2 = 7,000 hours
- Actual Machine Hours in Year 3 = 8,000 hours
1.
[tex]\[\text{Depreciation per Hour} = \frac{192,000 - 24,000}{24,000 \text{ hours}} = 6[/tex]
2.
[tex]\[\text{Accumulated Depreciation Year 1} = $6 \times 6,000 \text{ hours} = $36,000\\\text{Accumulated Depreciation Year 2} = $6 \times 7,000 \text{ hours} = $42,000\\\text{Accumulated Depreciation Year 3} = $6 \times 8,000 \text{ hours} = $48,000[/tex]
3.
[tex]\text{Book Value Year 1} = $192,000 - $36,000 = $156,000\\\text{Book Value Year 2} = $192,000 - $42,000 = $150,000\\\text{Book Value Year 3} = $192,000 - $48,000 = $144,000[/tex]
Therefore, the book value at the end of year 3 is $144,000.
The complete question is:
A machine that cost $192,000 has an estimated residual value of $24,000 and an estimated useful life of 24,000 machine hours. The company uses units-of-production depreciation and ran the machine 6,000 hours in year 1, 7,000 hours in year 2, and 8,000 hours in year 3.
Calculate its book value at the end of year 3.

Bartran Company assembles ink cartridges. Each finished cartridge has three child items: a plastic case, a label and several ounces of ink. Lead time on assembling a finished cartridge is 2 days, while the lead time for procuring new plastic cases is 1 day, although the lead time is 5 days for procuring new labels and 2 days for procuring more ink. Assuming that all the assumptions of an MRP bill of materials is true, how long would it take Bartran to create at least one finished ink cartridge if it started with nothing in stock?
It would take Bartran Company a minimum of 5 days to create at least one finished ink cartridge if they started with nothing in stock.
Explanation:Using the information given, we can determine the lead times for each component and calculate the total lead time to create a finished ink cartridge. The longest lead time comes from procuring new labels, which is 5 days. Therefore, it would take Bartran Company a minimum of 5 days to create at least one finished ink cartridge if they started with nothing in stock.
Total Lead Time Calculation: Since the longest lead time is 5 days (procuring new labels), it sets the minimum total lead time for creating a finished ink cartridge. This is because all other steps can occur in parallel or have lead times shorter than or equal to 5 days.
Therefore, if Bartran Company started with nothing in stock and initiated the process of creating an ink cartridge, it would take a minimum of 5 days to complete at least one finished ink cartridge.

Suppose there are only two goods produced in an economy: phones and meals. Maria is adept at assembling electronics but has poor skills at preparing food. Mike is an accomplished chef but is not very skilled at assembling electronics.
Currently Mike and Maria each work independently, and they each produce both meals and phones. However, they are considering trading some of their respective output with each other, but only if that would allow each person to become more propserous.
Which statement is not true?
O Mike should produce more food and fewer phones, and Maria should produce more phones and fewer meals.
O Customers will gain if Mike and Maria decide to specialize in what they do best and trade their output.
O Mike and Maria would gain by using their time making only the one good that they are best at producing.
O Mike and Maria will both gain only if they trade the same number of phones for the same number of meals.
Answer:
This statment is not true: O Mike and Maria will both gain only if they trade the same number of phones for the same number of meals.
Explanation:
Mike and Maria agreed to trade part of their results only if that option brought prosperity for both. So we must consider that exchanging the same number of phones and meals would not bring a balance of gain to both, since the financial value of a cell phone is much higher than that of a meal, so Maria would lose.
Compared to the other statements, all are true, because specialization in what they do best would provide added benefits to customers and producers, who would find ways to produce the good more effectively and streamlined processes.
The incorrect statement is that Mike and Maria must trade equal numbers of phones and meals to benefit. They should specialize in the production of goods where they have a comparative advantage, and then trade to improve both of their consumption possibilities.
Explanation:The statement that is not true is that Mike and Maria will both gain only if they trade the same number of phones for the same number of meals. This is based on understanding the principle of comparative advantage and specialization. While Mike should indeed produce more food and fewer phones, and Maria should produce more phones and fewer meals, the key to their gain from trade is that each specializes in producing the good for which they have a comparative advantage. By doing so, both can increase their total output, and through trade, they can improve their consumption possibilities.
Division of labor increases productivity by allowing workers to focus on tasks that make the best use of their abilities and skills. In the case of specialized workers like a baker and a chef, if each specializes in their best task, the kitchen can produce more meals efficiently because each worker's productivity is maximized. This principle extends to economies at the macro level, where countries specialize in producing goods for which they have a comparative advantage and engage in international trade, thereby increasing overall welfare.
