Answer:
In 1993, the government increased the tax on gasoline producers from 14.1 cents per gallon to 18.4 cents per gallon. Our model of supply and demand predicts that
both the supply and demand for gasoline decreased.
Explanation:
The reason why both supply and demand will be decreased is a result in the increase of tax which will have direct effect on the price i.e the price will increase as result of tax increment and this will affect the rate at which the gasoline will be demanded for, hence; affects the supply rate as little quantity will be made available for sales.
Sensitivity analysis is conducted by_________________.
A. holding all variables at their base level and changing the required rate of return assigned to a project.
B. changing the value of two variables to determine their interdependency.
C. changing the value of a single variable and computing the resulting change in the current value of a project.
D. assigning either the best or the worst possible value to every variable and comparing the results to those achieved by the base case.
E. managers after a project has been implemented to determine how each variable relates to the level of output realized.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "C": changing the value of a single variable and computing the resulting change in the current value of a project.
Explanation:
Sensitivity Analysis is used in financial modeling to determine how one variable (the target variable) may be affected by changes in another variable (the input variable). It is used to find out what variables affect a publicly-traded company's stock price. Input variables include the company's earnings, number of shares outstanding, debt to equity ratio, and the number of competitors in the industry.
Accounts Receivable As of December 31, 2016, Nala Incorporated reported accounts receivable for $275,000 less allowance for doubtful accounts of $27,000 on their balance sheet. During 2017, Nala Incorporated had the following transactions related to their receivables balance: 1. Sales on account $180,000 2. Collections of accounts receivable 125,000 3. Sales returns 20,000 4. Write-offs of accounts receivable deemed uncollectible 35,000 5. Recovery of bad debts previously written off 2,500 a) Prepare the journal entries for each of these five transactions b) Prepare the journal entry to record bad debt expense for 2017, assuming that the aging of accounts receivable indicates that estimated bad debts are 10% of accounts receivable.
Answer:
A.
1. Dr Accounts receivable $180,000
Cr Sales $180,000
2. Dr Cash $125,000
Cr Accounts receivable $125,000
3. Dr Sales returns and allowances $20,000
Cr Accounts receivable $20,000
4. Dr Allowance for doubtful accounts $35,000
Cr Accounts receivable $35,000
5. Dr Accounts receivable $2,500
Cr Allowance for doubtful accounts $2,500
Dr Cash $2,500
Cr Accounts receivable $2,500
B. Dr Bad debt expense $27,500
Cr Allowance for doubtful accounts $27,500
Explanation:
A1. To record the sale on account we will debit accounts receivable as our collectible to customer and credit sales in the amount of $180,000
A2. To record the collection, we will recognize the receipt of cash so we have to debit cash and credit accounts receivable to deduct the collectible balance in the amount of $125,000
A3. When the company receives returns from the customers, it will be charged to sales returns and allowances account so we have to debit it and credit accounts receivables in the amount of $20,000 to deduct collectibles to suppliers. Said, sales returns and allowances account is a contra account of sales. Thus, any amount recorded under it will be charged against (deduction) our sales.
A4. During the write off, we will debit allowance for doubtful accounts and credit accounts receivables to reduce its amount from the worthless receivables that is deemed to be uncollectible.
A5. Collection of previously written off receivables will resort to 2 entries. First, reversal of the original entry we made during the write off. So we debit Accounts receivable and credit allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $2,500. Next is to record the cash we received from the customer. So debit cash and credit accounts receivable in the same amount of $2,500.
B. To record the bad debt expense, we need to compute first the ending balance of the accounts receivable.
Beg $275,000 plus sales on account of $180,000 less collection $125,000, sales return of $20,000 and write off $35,000 = $275,000.
Bad debts is 10% of the Accounts receivable, so $275,000 x 10% = $27,500
Entry:
Dr bad debt expense $27,500
Cr allowance for doubtful accounts $27,500
The stock of Top of the Muffin currently pays a dividend of $2.85. The dividend is expected to grow by 30% per year for the next three years. In year 4 it will increase by $2.40 over the previous year, and after that point it will grow at 2% per year for the foreseeable future. If you require an 10.8% return for investing in this stock, what is a share of the stock worth to you today?
Answer:
Consider the following calculation
Explanation:
Year 1 dividend = 2.85 (1 + 30%) = 3.705
Year 2 dividend = 3.705 (1 + 30%) = 4.8165
Year 3 dividend = 4.8165 (1 + 30%) = 6.26145
Year 4 dividend = 6.26145 + 2.4 = 8.66145
Year 5 dividend = 8.66145 (1 + 2%) = 8.834679
Value at year 4 = D5 / required rate - growth rate
Value at year 4 = 8.834679 / 0.108 - 0.02
Value at year 4 = 8.834679 / 0.088
Value at year 4 = 100.39408
Share price = Present value of cash inflows
Share price = 3.705 / (1 + 0.108)1 + 4.8165 / (1 + 0.108)2 + 6.26145 / (1 + 0.108)3 + 8.66145 / (1 + 0.108)4 + 100.39408 / (1 + 0.108)4
Share price = $84.23
The table below shows some hypothetical data on the costs associated with the use of a liter of gasoline in a European country.
Refining, distributing, and selling of gasoline all take place within this European country.
1. In euros, what is the private cost for an individual of a liter of gasoline in Europe (Ex: If your answer is 3.25 Euros then enter 3.25)?
2. What is the social cost, in euros, of a liter of gasoline?
Cost Euros
Cost of imported oil................................................ 0.5
Cost of refining oil to gasoline............................... 1
Cost of distributing and selling gasoline............... 0.75
Government tax....................................................... 2.5
Cost of pollution from one liter of gasoline........... 2
Answer:
1. 4.75
2. 4.25
Explanation:
1. Private cost is a supplier's or producer's cost of providing goods and services without any external cost.
Private cost:
= Cost of imported oil + Cost of refining oil to gasoline + Cost of distributing and selling gasoline + Government tax
= 0.50 + 1 + 0.75 + 2.50
= 4.75
2. Social cost is private cost plus external cost.
Social cost:
= Cost of imported oil + Cost of refining oil to gasoline + Cost of distributing and selling gasoline + Cost of pollution from one liter of gasoline
= 0.5 + 1 + 0.75 + 2
= 4.25

D. supply chain management.
Answer:
B. value-chain analysis.
Explanation:
According to the given situation, the most appropriate option is B. value chain analysis as the value chain analysis represent the activities that adds the value to the business organization. This concept is developed by Michael Porter in his book "Competitive advantage".
The value chain analysis comprises of the two activities
1. Primary activities: It includes activities like - inbound and outbound logistics, marketing sales and services, etc
2. Support activities: It includes those activities which helps in procurement, managing human resource, etc.
The resource view measures the efficiency and effectiveness of the available resources that helps the organization to assess competitive advantage
The five forces model shows the weakness and strengthens of the business organization
And, the supply chain management deals with transforming the raw material into the finished products
Multiple Choice Question 91 Equipment was purchased for $147000. Freight charges amounted to $4000 and there was a cost of $19000 for building a foundation and installing the equipment. It is estimated that the equipment will have a $34000 salvage value at the end of its 5-year useful life. Depreciation Expense each year using the straight-line method will be ____ .
Answer:
$27,200
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Purchasing cost = $147,000
Freight charges = $4,000
Foundation and installation charges = $19,000
Salvage value = $34,000
Useful life = 5 years
Now,
Total cost of the equipment
= Purchasing cost + Freight charges + Foundation and installation charges
= $147,000 + $4,000 + $19,000
= $170,000
using the straight line method of depreciation,
we have
Annual depreciation = [ Cost - Salvage value ] ÷ Useful life
= [ $170,000 - $34,000 ] ÷ 5
= $27,200
In a status report, executives want to know not only where we are today, but also where we will end up. Calculating where we will end up financially is not as easy as it sounds. Selecting the wrong formula can leave the executives and customers with a faulty impression. There are several formulas available for the calculation of the estimated cost at completion (EAC). For simplicity, consider the following three formulas:
EAC = (ACWP/BCWP) x (budget at completion)
EAC = ((ACWP/BCWP) x (BCWS for work completed and in progress)) +
(planned or revised planned costs of work packages not yet begun)
EAC = (actual to date) + (all remaining work, including work in progress,
to be completed at the planned or budgeted costs)
a. Using the table below, determine the value of EAC for each of the three formulas. Assume that A, B, and C are the only work packages in the project, and BCWS(Total) is the total value for PV for each work package rather than PV for the reporting period. Use the following formula for calculating EV:
EV = (% Complete) x BCWS(Total)
Activity % Complete BCWS(Total) ACWP
A 100 1000 1100
B 50 1000 800
C 0 1000 0

Rhonda is single and receives the following income during the year: $30,000 taxable pension, $6,000 in social security payments, and $1,000 of interest on State of Iowa bonds. What is Rhonda's adjusted gross income based on the above information?a. $36,000b. $34,500c. $33,000d. $30,000e. None of the above
Answer:
Rhonda's adjusted gross income = $33,000
so correct option is c. $33,000
Explanation:
given data
taxable pension = $30,000
social security payments = $6,000
interest on State of Iowa bonds = $1,000
to find out
Rhonda's adjusted gross income
solution
we get here Rhonda's adjusted gross income that is express as
adjusted gross income = Taxable pension + Social security ....................1
here we know If income is between $25,000 and $34,000 than there is up to 50 % of your benefits may be subject to tax
so here Social security = 50% × $6,000 = $3000
so total adjusted gross income will be
Rhonda's adjusted gross income = $30,000 + $3,000
Rhonda's adjusted gross income = $33,000
so correct option is c. $33,000

There are no potential common shares outstanding. 2018 Feb. 28 Purchased 24,000 shares of treasury stock. Oct. 31 Sold the treasury shares purchased on February 28. Nov. 30 Issued 96,000 new shares. Dec. 31 Net income for 2018 is $1,590,000. 2019 Jan. 15 Declared and issued a 2-for-1 stock split. Dec. 31 Net income for 2019 is $1,590,000.
Answer:
Consider the following calculation
Explanation:
1. Determine the 2018 EPS.
EPS = Net Income / Weighted Average number of shares
Numerator
Net Income = $15,90
Denominator
Weighted Average number of shares = 2,20 – (24x10/12) + (24x2/12) + (96x1/12)
= 2,52 Shares
EPS 2018 = $15,90 / 2,52 Shares
= $6.31 per share
2. Determine the 2019 EPS.
Numerator
Net Income = $15,90
Denominator
Weighted Average number of shares
=[ 2,20 – 24 + 24 + 96 ] x 2 Stock Split
= 6,32 Shares
EPS 2019 = $15,90 / 6,32 Shares
= $2.52 per share
3. At what amount will the 2018 EPS be presented in the 2019 comparative financial statements?
Numerator
Net Income = $15,90
Denominator
Weighted Average number of shares
= 2,520 x 2 Stock split
= 5,04 Shares
EPS = $15,90 / 5,04
= $3.15 per share

Use the information below to answer question Balance Sheet 2014 2015 2014 2015 Current assets 200 250 Current liabilities 300 250 Net fixed assets 2,775 3,535 Long-term debt 1,250 2,135 2015 Income Statement Sales 5,436 Costs 2,245 Depreciation 448 Interest expense 123 1. What is the operating cash flow (OCF) for 2015? Assume the tax rate is 35 percent. A. 5,436 B. 2,274 C. 3,191 D. 2,743 E. 6,007
Answer:
B. 2,274
Explanation:
The operating cash flow is shown below:
= EBIT + Depreciation - Income tax expense
where,
EBIT = Sales - cost of good sold - depreciation expense
= $5,436 - $2,245 - $448
= $2,743
Income tax expense would be
= (Sales - cost of good sold - depreciation expense - interest expense) × tax rate
= ($5,436 - $2,245 - $448 - $123) × 35%
= $917
And all other items would remain same
Now put these values to the above formula
So, the value would equal to
= $2,743 + $448 - $917
= $2,274

Explanation:
Bello, Inc., has a total debt ratio of .31.
a. What is its debt-equity ratio? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
b. What is its equity multiplier? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
The debt-equity ratio and equity multiplier can be calculated using the given debt ratio of Bello, Inc.
Explanation:The debt ratio is a financial ratio that measures the proportion of a company's total assets that are financed by debt. It is calculated by dividing total debt by total assets. In this case, Bello, Inc. has a total debt ratio of 0.31.
To find the debt-equity ratio, we can subtract the debt ratio from 1. The debt-equity ratio is a measure of the proportion of a company's financing that comes from debt compared to equity. Therefore, the debt-equity ratio for Bello, Inc. is 1 - 0.31 = 0.69.
The equity multiplier is another measure of leverage and is calculated by dividing total assets by total equity. To find the equity multiplier for Bello, Inc., we can divide 1 by the debt ratio (1/0.31 = 3.23).

Which employee labor rate is typically used to produce a project budget?Select an answer:A. salariesB. billable ratesC. burdened ratesD. salaries plus bonus
The correct answer is C. burdened rates, which include salaries and additional costs such as benefits and taxes, providing a comprehensive view of employee costs for accurate project budgeting.
Explanation:The question asks which employee labor rate is typically used to produce a project budget. The correct answer is C. burdened rates. Burdened rates include not only the salaries of employees but also additional costs associated with employment, such as benefits, taxes, and other overhead expenses. When budgeting for a project, it's critical to consider these complete costs to ensure the budget accurately reflects the true cost of utilizing labor.
This is because the burdened rate gives a more comprehensive picture of what an employee costs an organization beyond just their salary or hourly wage. Including these costs in project budgets helps businesses understand the full financial impact of their labor force on specific projects, ensuring more accurate planning and resource allocation.
Tyrone, a project manager at a computer firm, needs to monitor the schedule of a critical project. What should Tyrone do first?
A. Develop a schedule baseline
B. Calculate all schedule variances
C. Identify major scope creep
D. Analyze the completion status of activities
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "C": Identify major scope creep.
Explanation:
Scope creep in project management refers to those uncontrolled changes in the scope of a plan. This can be caused when the scope of the project is not defined or controlled correctly. It may cause schedule variances so it is important to deal with it during the first steps of monitoring a critical project.
Your firm is considering a project that will cost $ 4.548 million up front, generate cash flows of $ 3.50 million per year for 3 years, and then have a cleanup and shutdown cost of $ 6.00 million in the fourth year.
a. How many IRRs does this projecthave?
b. Given a cost of capital of 10.0 % should this project be accepted?
Answer:
(a) It will have multiple IRRs
(b) The MIRR calculated is 10.18% . Going by MIRR result , this project will only generate returns that is equal to cost of capital(10%) .If there are other avaible more viable projects, it should be rejected ( Please see attached computation).
Explanation:
(a) The multiple IRRs occurs when cash flows change sign and result in more than one value for the IRR.
Application of IRR to value an investment is only suitable when the project has normal cash flows, i.e a negative initial cash flow (i.e initial investment) followed by a series of positive cash flows.
In this scenario, we have negative cash flow of $6m in year 4 which occured after positive cash flow of $3.5m per year from year 1 to 3. This typically make IRR unreliable. To overcome this limitation , we can use Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR)
(b) Please see attached for more details.
Final answer:
To calculate the number of IRRs, sign changes in the project's cash flow must be analyzed, potentially leading to multiple IRRs. The project should only be accepted if the IRR exceeds the firm's 10% cost of capital. For multiple IRRs, additional analysis is needed.
Explanation:
The question from your firm concerns the evaluation of a project with specific cash flows, costs, and a cleanup at the end of the project. The Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and the appropriateness of the project given a cost of capital are in question.
To determine how many IRRs this project has, we would need to look at the sign changes in the cash flow. However, this scenario has two changes in cash flow sign (initial outflow to inflows to a final outflow), which can result in multiple IRRs. A more thorough evaluation using a financial calculator or IRR software may be necessary to find the exact number.
For the second part, assessing whether the project should be accepted, we compare the project's IRR to the firm's cost of capital. Assuming the cost of capital is 10%, if the single IRR (if there is only one) is above 10%, the project should be accepted, as it would offer a return greater than the cost of capital. Otherwise, it is to be rejected. If there are multiple IRRs, the decision is more complex and requires additional analysis.
You are a consulting firm intern and your job is to help a client choose investment projects. Your client, RealEstate, is a young and growing commercial and residential real estate firm. After reading through all the related information of those projects, you have compiled the following cash flow projections:
Col1 CF0 CF1 CF2 CF3
Col2 project 1 100 50 50 50
Col3 project 2 -80 40 45 50
Col4 project 3 -70 30 40 50
Col5 project 4 -60 30 40 60
Col6 project 5 -50 25 30 70
CF0 denotes the initial investment. CF1 is the cash flow at the end of the first year. CF2 is the cash flow at the end of the second year, and so on. The units are millions of dollars.
If RealEstate accepts projects with payback periods of 2 years or less, which project should you reject?
(a)Project 1
(b)Project 2
(c)Project 3
(d)Project 4
(e)Project 5
(f)None
Answer:
(f)None
Explanation:
Pay back period is the no of years in which cost of investment is recovered in the form of cash flow.
Project with cash back period of two years is acceptable .
Project 1
initial outlay of fund = 100 million dollar
cash flow in first two years = 50+50 = 100 million dollar
so it is acceptable because it recovers the project cost in first two years .
Project 2
initial outlay of fund = 80 million dollar
cash flow in first two years = 40+45 = 95
so it is acceptable because it recovers the project cost in first two years .
Project 3
initial outlay of fund = 70 million dollar
cash flow in first two years = 30+40 = 70
so it is acceptable because it recovers the project cost in first two years .
Project 4
initial outlay of fund = 60 million dollar
cash flow in first two years = 30+40 = 70
so it is acceptable because it recovers the project cost in first two years .
Project 5
initial outlay of fund = 50 million dollar
cash flow in first two years = 30+25 = 55
so it is acceptable because it recovers the project cost in first two years .
So none will be rejected
Final answer:
Based on the criterion of a two-year payback period, Project 5 should be rejected as it fails to provide a full recovery of the initial investment within this timeframe.
Explanation:
You have asked which investment project RealEstate should reject, if it accepts projects with payback periods of 2 years or less. To evaluate this, we need to calculate the payback period for each project. The payback period is the amount of time it takes for the initial investment to be recovered from the cash flows of the project.
Project 1 has an initial cost of 100 million dollars and provides cash flows of 50 million dollars each year. It takes two years to recover the initial investment, so it meets the criteria.Project 2 starts with a cost of 80 million dollars and generates 40 million dollars in the first year and 45 million dollars in the second year. By the end of the second year, the cumulative cash flow is 85 million dollars, so the initial investment is recovered in less than two years.Project 3 has an upfront cost of 70 million dollars with cash flows of 30 million dollars and 40 million dollars in the first and second years, respectively. The total cash flow after two years is only 70 million dollars, which just breaks even with the initial cost and thus, meets the requirements precisely.Project 4 starts with a cost of 60 million dollars with returns of 30 million dollars in the first year and 40 million dollars in the second. The payback period is less than two years as the cumulative cash flow by the end of the second year is 70 million dollars.Project 5 requires an initial outlay of 50 million dollars and yields 25 million dollars in the first year and 30 million dollars in the second year. With only 55 million dollars of cumulative cash flow after two years, the payback period exceeds two years. Therefore, this project should be rejected.Considering the payback period criterion set by RealEstate, Project 5 should be rejected as it does not provide a full recovery of the initial investment within the two-year period.

Suppose you recently paid $1000 for a new 30-year bond issued by the telecommunications company, Verizon. The interest ("coupon") rate is 6 percent, and for the sake of simplicity, let’s assume that the $60 is paid once a year at the end of the year. Given the 6 percent interest rate, the present value of the bond's face value of $1000 paid thirty years from now is approximately $175. What is the present value of the stream of thirty, annual $60 payments? You can calculate the answer or use a shortcut.
$1,000
$825
$700
$350
$140
Answer:
$825
Explanation:
The computation of the present value of the stream of thirty is shown below:
= Face value of the bond - Present value of maturity value after 30 years
= $1,000 - $175
= $825
Simply we deduct the present value of maturity value after 30 years from the face value of the bond so that the correct amount can come

Expected sales for next year for the Beresford Company is 150,000 units. Curt Planters, manager of the Beresford Division, is under pressure to improve the performance of the Division. As he plans for next year, he has to decide whether to produce 150,000 units or 170,000 units. The Beresford Company will have higher net income if Curt Planters decides to produce
Answer:
The correct answer is A.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The expected sales for next year for the Beresford Company is 150,000 units. Curt Planters, manager of the Beresford Division, is under pressure to improve the performance of the Division. As he plans for next year, he has to decide whether to produce 150,000 units or 170,000 units.
In order to improve its performance based on more production, the company must use an absorption cost method. Absorption cost includes the fixed manufacture cost in the unit product cost. Therefore, by producing more units, the fixed costs spread on more units, decreasing the cost of units sold and increasing gross profit. The fixed costs of the period remain on inventory.
He should produce 180,000 units under absorption cost method.
Global Technology’s capital structure is as follows: Debt 35 % Preferred stock 15 Common equity 50 The aftertax cost of debt is 9.00 percent; the cost of preferred stock is 13.00 percent; and the cost of common equity (in the form of retained earnings) is 16.00 percent. Calculate the Global Technology’s weighted cost of each source of capital and the weighted average cost of capital. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
weighted average cost of capital = 13.10%
Explanation:
given data
Debt = 35%
Preferred stock = 15
Common equity = 50
cost of debt = 9 percent
cost of preferred stock = 13 percent
cost of common equity = 16 percent
to find out
Weighted Average cost of capital
solution
we get here weighted cost of each source of capital that is
Weighted Cost of Debt = 0.35 * 9% = 3.15 % ....................1
Weighted Cost of Preferred Stock = 0.15 * 13% = 1.95% .........2
Weighted Cost of Common Stock = 0.50 * 16% = 8 % ..............3
so
so weighted average cost of capital will be
weighted average cost of capital = 3.15 % + 1.95% + 8 %
weighted average cost of capital = 13.10%
The following information relates to last year's operations at the Legumes Division of Gervani Corporation:
Minimum required rate of return 12 %
Return on investment (ROI) 15 %
Sales $ 900,000
Turnover (on operating assets) 3 times
What was the Legume Division's net operating income last year? Multiple Choice
a. $108,000
b. $135,000
c. $36,000
d. $45,000
Answer:
The Legume Division's net operating income last year was d. $45,000
Explanation:
Turnover (on operating assets) = Total Sales/ Operating assets
From the formula,
Operating assets = Total Sales/Turnover (on operating assets) = $900,000/3 = $300,000
Return on investment (ROI) is calculated by using following formula:
ROI = Net income/Total investment
Net Income = ROI x Total investment
At the Legumes Division of Gervani Corporation, Total investment = Operating assets = $300,000
Net Income = 15% x $300,000 = $45,000
The Legume Division's net operating income last year was $45,000. This was found by using the formula for ROI and rearranging for net operating income, which we determined to be 5% of the total sales ($900,000).
Explanation:To answer the question about the Legume Division's net operating income last year, we need to use the given Return on Investment (ROI) and data about sales and turnover. ROI is calculated as net operating income divided by total assets. However, we also know in this case that turnover (the ratio of sales to operating assets) is 3 times.
Given that
ROI = Net operating income / Total Assets,Turnover = Sales / Total Assets,we can say that ROI = Turnover × Margin, where Margin is the net operating income as a proportion of sales. In this question, we know that ROI = 0.15 and Turnover = 3. So, we can solve for margin:
0.15 = 3 × Margin.
Which shows that Margin = 0.15 / 3 = 0.05. Hence, to find the net operating income, we multiply the Margin by Total Sales:
Net Operating Income = 0.05 × $900,000 = $45,000, which corresponds to answer choice (d).

Prior to 1914, Argentina experienced around fifty years of economic growth. During that time, Argentina was ruled by a small amount of elite that was invested in agricultural exports. Thus, the economy grew by exporting beef and grain during a worldwide economic boom surrounding these commodities. The broadening of the political landscape following WWI and subsequent repeated military coups changed the leaders, but made the economic landscape increasingly unstable.
This period of growth is a classic example of economic growth under what system?
a. Rule by Law
b. Extractive institutions
c. The vicious circle
d. Inclusive Institutions
Answer: Option (B)
Explanation:
The period of growth exhibited by Argentina is referred to as the classic example of their growth under Extractive institutions. Extractive institutions referred to as the means under which a small organization or group of individuals tend do exploit the population of a nation. Under this case the small group of elites that were ruling Argentina and thus further investing in export of agricultural products,thus effecting Argentina and its population.
A company produces 1 comma 0001,000 packages of dog treats per month. The sales price is $ 6.00$6.00 per pack. Variable cost is $ 1.50$1.50 per unit, and fixed costs are $ 1 comma 800$1,800 per month. Management is considering adding a vitamin supplement to improve the value of the product. The variable cost will increase from $ 1.50$1.50 to $ 1.70$1.70 per unit, and fixed costs will increase by 2020%. At what sales price for the new product will the two alternatives (sell as is or process further) produce the same operating income? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
Final answer:
The new sales price that will result in the same operating income after increasing the variable and fixed costs is $6.56 per package, rounded to the nearest cent.
Explanation:
To calculate the new sales price that will yield the same operating income after adding a vitamin supplement to dog treats, we need to consider the change in both variable costs and fixed costs. Currently, the operating income is the difference between the total revenue and total costs (which is the sum of variable and fixed costs).
The company sells 1,000 packages at $6.00 each, so the total revenue is $6,000. The variable costs are $1.50 per unit, amounting to $1,500 in total, and fixed costs are $1,800. After the changes, variable costs will rise to $1.70 per unit, totaling $1,700, and fixed costs will increase by 20%, making the new fixed costs $2,160.
For the two alternatives (original and new products with added vitamins) to yield the same operating income, the increase in total costs (due to increased variable and fixed costs) must be matched by an increase in total revenue, which is achieved by adjusting the sales price accordingly. The formula to find the new sales price is:
New sale price = (Total revenue with original costs + Increase in variable costs + Increase in fixed costs) / Number of units
Substituting the numbers in:
New sale price = ($6,000 + $200 + $360) / 1,000
This results in a new sale price of $6.56 per package, rounded to the nearest cent.

a. Activities estimated in duration scrum
b. Tasks estimated in hours (effort)
c. Tasks estimated in duration
d. Activities estimated in hours (effort)
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "B": Tasks estimated in hours (effort).
Explanation:
Sprint Planning meeting is the first Scrum event where tasks are planned for the ongoing Sprint. In this Sprint, the Scrum master, product owner, and the development team participate to share ideas. The tasks are broken down into small duties that the development team members can select. Those tasks are estimated in hours, being the total amount of hours the total work.
Final answer:
The smaller elements on the Sprint Backlog during a Sprint in Scrum methodology are tasks estimated in hours (effort), which are essential for realistic sprint planning and effective time management. The correct answer is: b. Tasks estimated in hours (effort).
Explanation:
During a Sprint, the smaller elements that features are broken down into are described as tasks estimated in hours (effort). In the context of Scrum, once functions are selected and refined for a Sprint, they are detailed and explained for implementation. The work time for these tasks is estimated, informing how many functions can be included in the sprint which typically lasts two to four weeks. This estimation process is crucial for successful sprint planning and requires the creation of a sprint log. As part of the sprint planning, the sprint backlog contains all the tasks to be implemented in the next stage, with the necessary technical descriptions to guide developers and team members.
The focus during sprint planning is on breaking down the work into manageable tasks and creating realistic time estimates based on effort in hours. This is essential to accommodate the selected functions within the sprint timeframe. This estimation enables effective time management and ensures that the team remains focused on delivering value while staying within the planned duration of the Sprint.

ABC Manufacturing produces a product that includes four tasks: cutting, drilling, sanding and painting. The production supervisor wants to know the cost of each task for this months production run of 1,000 units. She has identified several costs that must be allocated to these tasks including: $50,000 of depreciation on manufacturing equipment, $40,000 of utilities, $30,000 of rent and $2,000 of supplies. She has chosen to distribute all these costs to the four tasks based on machine hours. Cutting these 1,000 units required 900 hours, drilling them required 300 hours, sanding 800 hours and painting 400 hours. What is the weight of base?
Answer:
2400
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Cost allocated to Depreciation on manufacturing equipment = $50,000
Cost allocated to Utilities = $40,000
Cost allocated to Rent = $30,000
Cost allocated to supplies = $2,000
Required machine hours for cutting = 900
Required machine hours for drilling = 300
Required machine hours for sanding = 800
Required machine hours for painting = 400
Now,
Since the distribution is based on the machine hours
Therefore,
Weight of base = Total machine hours required
= 900 + 300 + 800 + 400
= 2400
