Rina builds her portfolio with an index fund based on the belief that the stock market exhibits informational efficiency, suggesting that all known information is already reflected in stock prices, making it difficult to outperform the market consistently.
Explanation:Musashi and Rina are exploring different strategies in building their investment portfolios. Musashi opts for a mutual fund with active portfolio management, hoping to capitalize on undervalued stocks that will grow in value. Rina, on the other hand, chooses an index fund, a type of mutual fund that mirrors the performance of a specific stock index, such as the S&P 500. Rina's decision is based on her belief in the stock market's informational efficiency, which suggests that all available information about investment securities, such as stocks, is already reflected in their prices, making it difficult for any investor or fund manager to consistently outperform the market.
The contrast between Musashi's and Rina's choices highlights two fundamental approaches to investing: active management and passive management. Active management, as chosen by Musashi, involves selecting stocks in an attempt to beat market returns. Passive management, exemplified by Rina's choice, is based on the assumption that it's difficult to beat the market, so it's better to match market returns at a lower cost. This debate touches on key concepts in investment strategies, including diversification, risk, and the costs of transacting. Both investors seek to create diversified portfolios to minimize risk, but they diverge in their beliefs about market efficiency and the ability of active management to add value over time.
Pablo Management has ten part-time employees, each of whom earns $135 per day. They are paid on Fridays for work completed Monday through Friday of the same week. Near year-end, the ten employees worked Monday, December 31, and Wednesday through Friday, January 2, 3, and 4. New Year's Day. (January 1) was an unpaid holiday.
A) Prepare the adjusting entry that would be recorded on Monday, Dec 31.
B) Prepare the journal entry that would be made to record payment of the eployees' wages on Friday Jan 4.
Final answer:
The adjusting entry on December 31st for Pablo Management would be a debit to Wage Expense for $1,350 and a credit to Wages Payable for $1,350 to account for one day's wages. The journal entry on January 4th would include a debit to Wage Expense for $4,050 and Wages Payable for $1,350, with a credit to Cash for $5,400 to cover the wages for the four days worked, excluding the unpaid holiday.
Explanation:
To answer the student's question regarding the adjusting and journal entries to be made for Pablo Management's employee wages, we must consider the following:
Adjusting Entry on December 31
An adjusting entry is recorded to recognize expenses incurred but not yet paid. Since the employees worked on Monday, December 31st, but not on New Year's Day, we record the wages for one day.
The adjusting entry on December 31 would be:
This reflects the expense incurred for the day worked in December.
Journal Entry on January 4
The journal entry to record the payment of the employees' wages on Friday, January 4th, must account for the four days worked in the week after excluding the unpaid holiday on January 1st.
The total wages paid on January 4 account for both the payable recognized on December 31 and the wages earned from January 2 to January 4.
Suppose your company needs $13 million to build a new assembly line. Your target debt-equity ratio is .55. The flotation cost for new equity is 6 percent, but the flotation cost for debt is only 3 percent. Your boss has decided to fund the project by borrowing money because the flotation costs are lower and the needed funds are relatively small. a. What is your company’s weighted average flotation cost, assuming all equity is raised externally? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What is the true cost of building the new assembly line after taking flotation costs into account? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions, rounded to the nearest whole dollar amount, e.g., 1,234,5667.)
Answer:True cost = [tex]\frac{cost of assembly}{1-weighted flotation cost }[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{13,000,000}{1- 0.049}[/tex]
= $ 13,669,821.2
Explanation:
Given :
Debt-Equity ratio = 0.55
Flotation cost for new equity = 6%
Flotation cost for debt = 3 %
∴ To compute the weighted flotation cost , we'll use the following formula:
Weighted Flotation cost =[tex]\left [ \frac{1}{1+Debt-Equity ratio}\times Flotation cost of equity \right ] + \left [ \frac{Debt-Equity ratio}{1+Debt-Equity ratio}\times Flotation cost of debt \right ][/tex]
= [tex]\left [ \frac{1}{1+0.55}\times 0.06 \right ] + \left [ \frac{0.55}{1+0.55}\times 0.03 \right ][/tex]
= 0.0387 + 0.0106
= 0.04934 or 4.93%
The true cost of building the new assembly line after taking flotation costs into account is evaluated using the following formula :
True cost = [tex]\frac{cost of assembly}{1-weighted flotation cost }[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{13,000,000}{1- 0.049}[/tex]
= $ 13,669,821.2
Exercise 24-5 Bruno Corporation is involved in the business of injection molding of plastics. It is considering the purchase of a new computer-aided design and manufacturing machine for $436,900. The company believes that with this new machine it will improve productivity and increase quality, resulting in an increase in net annual cash flows of $103,273 for the next 6 years. Management requires a 10% rate of return on all new investments. (a) Calculate the internal rate of return on this new machine. Should the investment be accepted? (b) Calculate cash payback period, internal rate of return, and apply decision rules.
Answer:
The internal rate of return is 11%, the investment will be accepted.
Payback Period is 5
Explanation:
We use excel or a spreadsheet to calculate this ratio. See document attached.
We must use a cash flow to solve this problem.
At moment 0 we have the investment cost , in this case $436,900. From period 1 to period 6, we have incomes o benefits of $103,273. Then, we calculate the Net cash flow that is the difference between benefits and cost.
We use all the result (positive and negative) in Net cash flow to get the IRR.
The decision rules are 3:
Net Present Value (NPV)
Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
Payback Period
A company has a beginning inventory of $ 60,000 and purchases during the year of $ 90,000. The beginning inventory consisted of 4,000 units and 9,000 units were purchased during the year. The company has 5,000 units left at yearminusend. Under averageminuscost, what is Cost of Goods Sold? (Round any intermediary calculations to two decimal places and your final answer to the nearest dollar.)
Answer:
Cost of goods sold 103,860
Explanation:
beginning 4,000 units at $60,000
purchases 9,000 units at $90,000
Cost of goods available 13,000 units at $150,000
average cost 11.54 (rounded to two decimal places)
13,000 units of goods for sale - 5,000 ending inventory = 9,000 units sold
cost of goods sold 9,000 x 11.54 = 103,860
The Cost of Goods Sold (COGS), under the average cost method, is calculated by finding the average cost per unit and multiplying by the number of units sold. In this case, the COGS is $80,000.
Explanation:First, let's calculate the average cost per unit by adding the beginning inventory and purchases and dividing by the total number of units (the sum of the beginning inventory units and purchased units). In this case, ($60,000 + $90,000) / (4,000 + 9,000) = $10 / unit. Then, we multiply this average cost per unit by the number of units sold, which is the difference between the total number of units and the ending inventory. Hence, (13,000 units - 5,000 units) * $10 / unit gives us a Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) of $80,000.

if the total cost for producing widgets can be represented by TC = 8,000 + 0.75X, where X is the number of widgets produced and total revenue can be represented by TR = 4X, what is the breakeven value for number of widgets produced?
Answer: The breakeven value for the number of widgets produced is 2462.
Explanation:
The Breakeven point is the point where the total revenue of a particular firm is equal to the total cost of that firm,
TR = TC
4X = 8000 + 0.75X, where X is number of widgets produced
3.25X = 8000
X = [tex]\frac{800000}{325}[/tex]
X = 2462
So, this is the breakeven value for the number of widgets produced.
Adamson Company manufactures four lines of garden tools. As a result of an activity analysis, the accounting department has identified eight activity cost pools. Each of the product lines is produced in large batches, with the whole plant devoted to one product at a time. Classify each of the following activities or costs as either unit-level, batch-level, product-level, or facility-level. Activities (a) Machining parts. (b) Product design. (c) Plant maintenance. (d) Machine setup. (e) Assembling parts. (f) Purchasing raw materials. (g) Property taxes. (h) Painting.
Answer:
(a) unit level activity
(b) Product level activity
(c)Facility level activity
(d) Batch level activity
(e) unit level activity
(f) batch level activity
(g) facility level activity
(h) unit level activity
Explanation:
Unit level activity : It is that type of activity which is deals with only unit of product whether it is a selling unit, variable cost unit , direct material unit, direct labor unit or fixed cost unit.
Batch level activity: It is that type of activity which focuses on batches or bulk goods so that good discount to be provided due to which customers are happy that results in increase in sales.
Product level activity: It is that type of activity which deals in a single product or we can say finished product which is ready to sale.
Facility level activity: It is that type of activity which aims in giving the facilities relating to the product or charges some taxes.
BY going through the meaning of each one of the activity level, we get to know that (a) unit level activity
(b) Product level activity
(c)Facility level activity
(d) Batch level activity
(e) unit level activity
(f) batch level activity
(g) facility level activity
(h) unit level activity
Activities or costs at Adamson Company are classified into unit-level, batch-level, product-level, or facility-level categories to manage expenses more effectively through activity-based costing.
We need to classify each of the activities or costs Adamson Company incurs into one of four levels: unit-level, batch-level, product-level, or facility-level. Here is how each activity could be categorized:
(a) Machining parts: Unit-level, as this is likely a cost that varies with the production of each individual unit.(b) Product design: Product-level, since the design is specific to each product line and doesn't change with every batch or unit.(c) Plant maintenance: Facility-level, because it's a cost necessary for keeping the plant operational, regardless of the number of units or batches produced.(d) Machine setup: Batch-level, since this occurs every time a new batch of products begins production.(e) Assembling parts: Unit-level, as it is an activity that happens for each individual unit.(f) Purchasing raw materials: This could be at the batch or product-level, depending on whether raw materials vary by batch or by product line.(g) Property taxes: Facility-level, these are costs associated with the facility and do not vary with production volume.(h) Painting: This could be seen as batch-level if multiple units are painted at a time, or unit-level if painting happens per unit produced. The exact categorization may depend on the details of the production process.Activity-based costing groups expenses into various categories to better understand and manage the costs associated with different activities.

The stock of North American Dandruff Company is selling at $80 per share. The firm pays a dividend of $2.50 per share. (a) What is the dividend yield? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places. Omit the "%" sign in your response.) (b) If the firm has a payout rate of 50 percent, what is the firm’s P/E ratio? (Enter numeric value only.)
Answer:
(a) Dividend Yield = 3.125 percent
(b) P/E Ratio = 16 times
Explanation:
(a) Dividend yield = [tex]\frac{Current year dividend}{Price of the share}[/tex] X 100
Current year dividend = $2.5
Company's selling price of share = $80
Dividend yield = [tex]\frac{2.5}{80} X100[/tex] = 3.125 percent
(b) Given payout ratio is 50 percent that means earnings X 50% = $2.5
Earnings = [tex]\frac{2.5}{0.5}[/tex] = $5
P/E ratio = Price / Earnings = $80/$5 = 16 times.
Dividend Yield = 3.125 percent
P/E Ratio = 16 times
Yard Tools manufactures lawnmowers, weed-trimmers, and chainsaws. Its sales mix and unit contribution margin are as follows.
Sales Mix
Unit Contribution
Margin
Lawnmowers 20 % $30
Weed-trimmers 50 % $20
Chainsaws 30 % $40
Yard Tools has fixed costs of $4,200,000.
Compute the number of units of each product that Yard Tools must sell in order to break even under this product mix.
Answer:
45,000 Chainsaws
75,000 Weed-trimmers
30,000 Lawnmowers
Explanation:
Contribution Margin Mix
We are going to multiply the contribution margin of the product, by their sales proportion. The we add the mix contribution of each product to get the contribution margin for the mix.
Lawnmowers 20 % $30 = 6
Weed-trimmers 50 % $20 = 10
Chainsaws 30 % $40 = 12
Total Mix Contribution 28
Next we calculate the BEP in units as usual
[tex]\frac{Fixed\:Cost}{Contribution \:Margin} = Break\: Even\: Point_{units}[/tex]
4,200,000/ 28 = 150,000 Mix units
Now we multiply the mix units by each product weight to get the sales for each product.
150,000 x 20% = 30,000 Lawnmowers
150,000 x 50% = 75,000 Weed-trimmers
150,000 x 30% = 45,000 Chainsaws
Yard Tools must sell a total of 150,000 units to break even. This translates into 30,000 lawnmowers, 75,000 weed-trimmers, and 45,000 chainsaws, according to their sales mix.
Explanation:To solve this problem, we need to calculate the weighted average contribution margin per unit (WACM), and then divide the fixed costs by this figure. The percentage of sales mix is the 'weight' of each product, and the unit contribution margin is the 'value'.
So, to calculate the WACM:
For Lawnmowers that's 0.20 (or 20%) times $30, which gives us $6.For Weed-trimmers it's 0.50 times $20, which gives us $10.And for Chainsaws it's 0.30 times $40, which gives us $12.Summing these up, we get a total WACM of $28. Then, we must divide the fixed costs by the WACM to calculate the total number of units Yard Tools must sell to break even.
That is $4,200,000 divided by $28, which equals 150,000 units in total. Given the mix, Yard Tools must sell 30,000 Lawnmowers (20% of 150,000) , 75,000 Weed-trimmers (50%), and 45,000 Chainsaws (30%) to break even.

Answer:
5
Explanation:
5?? okay I'm not sure here but if shes getting all 3 for 2 dollars a piece then she only spent $6 dollars. 5+4+2 is 11. 11-6 is 5
Final answer:
Kim's total consumer surplus for purchasing three ice cream sundaes is $5, calculated by summing up the savings on each sundae compared to what she was initially willing to pay.
Explanation:
If Kim is willing to pay $5 for her first ice cream sundae, $4 for a second, and $2 for a third, and she buys all three at $2 each, her consumer surplus is the total amount she saved compared to what she was willing to pay. For the first sundae, she saves $3 ($5 - $2), for the second she saves $2 ($4 - $2), and for the third, she saves nothing ($2 - $2) since it's the same as her willingness to pay. Therefore, Kim's total consumer surplus is $5 ($3 for the first sundae + $2 for the second).
Lewis Brown bought four lots of land for $100,000. On the date of purchase, the lots had the following fair market values:Lot #1$25,000Lot #2$31,250Lot #3$20,625Lot #4$48,125What is the basis to Lewis of Lot #3?
Answer:
Basis of Lewis of Lot #3 = $16,500
Explanation:
Total of all the lots = $25,000 + $31,250 + $20,625 + $48,125 = $125,000
Since the land is purchased for $100,000
The basis for each dollar = $100,000/$125,000 = $0.8 for each dollar
Thus for Lot #3 basis = $0.8 X $20,625 = $16,500
Note: The basis is calculated so that directly the lot value is not considered as the total cost is only 80% of total lot value.
Basis of Lewis of Lot #3 = $16,500
Which of the following is an advantage of flexible manufacturing technologies? They have reduced the importance of technological innovation in industries. They have made shorter production runs economical. They have increased the importance of production economies of scale. They eliminate the need for differentiation from competitors.
Answer:
They have increased the importance of production economies of scale.
Explanation:
Flexible production allows the manufacture of different types of products in the same industrial production line. This makes companies lower costs by avoiding tool change, time savings, and industry structure.
This type of economy fits into the description of economies of scale. Economies of scale are those where the increase in production results in a decrease in the average cost of the product. Increasing production - by including more products on the production line - without a proportional increase in the factory's installed capacity leads to a reduction in the average cost of production, ie it is an economy of scale.

For the employees who left the company before 3 years, what is an appropriate test of hypothesis to determine if the mean tenure of such employees equals 18 months in the population? One sample t test Paired samples t test Independent samples t test None of the above
Answer:
Here one sample t test would be the appropriate test of hypothesis to determine if the mean tenure of employees equals 18 months in the population.
Explanation:
Here we will use one sample t test because in this situation we are comparing a single sample mean to a determined constant and through this we are trying to find out whether there is any statistical difference between sample mean and a know population mean.
Final answer:
The appropriate test to determine if the mean tenure of employees who left the company before 3 years equals 18 months is the one sample t-test. This test compares the sample mean to a known value when the population standard deviation is unknown, and it is suitable for small samples or normally distributed populations.
Explanation:
To determine if the mean tenure of employees who left the company before 3 years equals 18 months, the appropriate test of hypothesis is the one sample t-test. This is because we are comparing the mean tenure of a single sample of employees to a known value (18 months) without comparing it to another sample. The one-sample t-test is especially useful when the population standard deviation is unknown the sample size is relatively small or the population is assumed to be normally distributed.
In conducting the one sample t-test, the null hypothesis (H0) posits that the mean tenure (µ) of employees equals 18 months, whereas the alternative hypothesis (Ha) suggests that the mean tenure is different from 18 months. This constitutes a two-tailed test because the alternative hypothesis does not specify whether the mean tenure is less than or greater than 18 months; it only states that it is not equal to 18 months.
Case A. Kapono Farms exchanged an old tractor for a newer model. The old tractor had a book value of $13,500 (original cost of $31,000 less accumulated depreciation of $17,500) and a fair value of $9,300. Kapono paid $23,000 cash to complete the exchange. The exchange has commercial substance. Required: 1. What is the amount of gain or loss that Kapono would recognize on the exchange? What is the initial value of the new tractor? 2. Assume the fair value of the old tractor is $17,000 instead of $9,300. What is the amount of gain or loss that Kapono would recognize on the exchange? What is the initial value of the new tractor?
Answer:
1. Gain or loss on exchange = $4,200 (Loss)
Initial value of the new tractor = $32,300
2. In case the fair value of old tractor = $17,000
Gain or loss on exchange = $3,500 Gain
Initial value of the new tractor = $40,000
Explanation:
Note: When a transaction has commercial substance, it means it is marketable and can be sold at fair value provided, in that case book value of old asset to be sold is not considered for calculating initial cost of new asset.
Since the transaction has commercial substance
Fair value of the old tractor will be considered.
Cost of new tractor = Cash paid + Fair value of old tractor
= $23,000 + $9,300 = $32,300
1. Gain or loss on exchange = Exchange value of old tractor - Book value of old tractor
Exchange value of old tractor = Fair value of old tractor as transaction had commercial substance = $9,300
Gain or loss on exchange = $9,300 - $13,500 = -$4,200 (Loss)
Initial value of the new tractor = Cost of new tractor as computed above = $32,300
2. In case the fair value of old tractor = $17,000
Then
Gain or loss on exchange = Exchange value of old tractor - Book value of old tractor = $17,000 - $13,500 = $3,500 Gain
because exchange value of old tractor = Fair value of old tractor as transaction had commercial substance
Initial value of the new tractor = Cost of new tractor = $23,000 + $17,000 = $40,000
Final Answer is as follows:
1. Gain or loss on exchange = $4,200 (Loss)
Initial value of the new tractor = $32,300
2. In case the fair value of old tractor = $17,000
Gain or loss on exchange = $3,500 Gain
Initial value of the new tractor = $40,000
Kapono Farms would recognize a loss of $4,200 with the new tractor valued at $32,300 in the first scenario and a gain of $3,500 with the new tractor valued at $40,000 in the second scenario.
Explanation:1. For the first scenario, Kapono Farms would recognize a loss on the exchange since the fair value of the old tractor ($9,300) is less than its book value ($13,500). The loss would be $4,200 ($13,500 - $9,300). The initial value of the new tractor would be the sum of the fair value of the old tractor and the additional cash paid, i.e. $9,300 + $23,000 = $32,300.
2. For the second scenario, where the fair value of the old tractor is deemed to be $17,000, Kapono Farms would recognize a gain on the exchange as the fair value exceeds the book value. The gain would be $3,500 ($17,000 - $13,500). The initial value of the new tractor would be the sum of the fair value of the old tractor and the additional cash paid, i.e. $17,000 + $23,000 = $40,000.

8,900 + 53,300 = 14,900 + supplies expense
8,900 + 53,300 - 14,900 = supplies expense
supplies expense = 47,300
Beginning and Purchase will be the supplies available during the period.
this supplies can be used or stored.
if the stored are 14,900 then the diference was used.
Final answer:
The required adjusting entry at the end of year 3 would include a debit to the Supplies Expense account for $47,300, which is the calculated value of supplies used during the year (beginning balance plus purchases minus the ending physical count).
Explanation:
The subject of this question is accounting, specifically related to the adjusting entries at year-end for the supplies account balance. When a physical count reveals that the supplies on hand at the end of the year cost $14,900, and the company had a beginning balance of supplies of $8,900, we need to account for the supplies used during the year. During year 3, payments for purchases of supplies amounted to $53,300 and were recorded as an expense. However, we need to adjust the expense to reflect the actual supplies used.
To do this, we would calculate the supplies used as follows:
Beginning balance of supplies: $8,900
Add: Purchases of supplies during the year: $53,300
Less: Ending balance of supplies: $14,900 (physical count)
Equals: Supplies expense for the year (supplies used): $47,300
The required adjusting entry at the end of year 3 would therefore include a debit to Supplies Expense for the value of supplies used ($47,300) and a credit to the Supplies account for the same amount, assuming the company had initially debited Supplies Expense when the supplies were purchased.
The reversing entry, typically done at the beginning of the new year, would reverse this process, making the books ready for the new year's transactions.
House Loan. Suppose you take out a home mortgage for $180,000 at a monthly interest rate of 0.5%. If you make payments of $1000/month, after how many months will the loan balance be zero?
Answer:
It will be after 462 months
Explanation:
We use the annuity formula for present value
[tex]C * \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\[/tex]
We post our know values and start solving for time:
[tex]1000 * \frac{1-(1+0.005)^{-time} }{0.005} = 180,000[/tex]
First we clear the dividend:
[tex]1-(1+0.005)^{-time} = 180,000/1000\times 0.005[/tex]
Then we clear for the power
[tex](1.005)^{-time} = 1-0.9[/tex]
We set up the formula using logarithmic
[tex]log_{1.005}\: 0.1 = -time[/tex]
And use logarithmic properties to solve for time:
[tex]\frac{log\:0.1}{log\:1.005} = -time[/tex]
[tex]-461.6673541 = -time[/tex]
time 462 months

To calculate the break-even point in units and dollars for Mauro Products, one can use the formulas considering fixed costs, selling price, and variable cost per unit. For Doggies Paradise Inc., a table reflecting the relation between total revenue, marginal revenue, total cost, and marginal cost is created to determine the profit-maximizing quantity where MR equals MC.
Explanation:The student's question involves calculating the break-even point in unit and dollar sales for Mauro Products, and analyzing the impact of increased fixed expenses on this break-even point. Furthermore, the student seeks assistance with understanding profit maximization in the context of Doggies Paradise Inc. and WipeOut Ski Company, using concepts such as total revenue, marginal revenue, total cost, and marginal cost.
Calculation for Mauro Products:To calculate the break-even point in units, we use the formula: Break-Even Point (units) = Fixed Costs / (Selling Price per Unit - Variable Expense per Unit). With a selling price of $21, variable expense of $18 per unit, and fixed expenses of $8,100, the break-even point in units would be 8,100 / (21 - 18), which is 2,700 units.To find the break-even point in dollar sales, multiply the break-even point in units by the selling price per unit. So, the break-even point in dollar sales is 2,700 units * $21 = $56,700.With an increase in fixed expenses by $600, the new fixed expenses become $8,100 + $600 = $8,700. The new break-even point in unit sales becomes 8,700 / (21 - 18), which is 2,900 units.Profit Maximization for Doggies Paradise Inc:Profit maximization occurs where marginal revenue (MR) equals marginal cost (MC). To find this, we need a table of output levels 1 to 5, calculating total revenue (number of units * selling price), marginal revenue (change in total revenue / change in quantity), total cost (fixed cost + total variable cost), and marginal cost (change in total cost / change in quantity). For Doggies Paradise Inc., the total revenue at each output level is $72, $144, $216, $288, and $360 respectively, since each coat sells for $72. The marginal revenue is constant at each level ($72) due to the nature of a perfectly competitive market. Total cost at each output level is the fixed cost ($100) added to the corresponding total variable cost, and the marginal cost can be calculated for each incremental unit. The profit-maximizing quantity is where MR equals MC, before MC starts to exceed MR.

Which one of the government actions would most enhance efficiency in a free market, according to most economists? regulating profits to prevent extreme disparities in wealth placing limits on the amount that landlords can increase rent to protect renters identifying and helping industries that are the most important to the ruling party's policies protecting private property Per most economists, which of the possible government activities would not enhance the operation of a free market? defining property rights clearly creating an independent judiciary establishing a minimum wage to guarantee minimum incomes for unskilled workers issuing a patent for a water purifier that prevents anyone but the inventor from producing it
Final answer:
Protecting private property enhances efficiency in a free market by providing security for investments, whereas establishing a minimum wage might not enhance market operation as it can lead to unemployment and distort labor market signals.
Explanation:
Among the government actions that would most enhance efficiency in a free market, according to most economists, is protecting private property. This action provides a foundational element for market activities because it ensures that individuals can securely own and invest in assets, which in turn, solidifies the incentives to engage in economic activities. Conversely, of the options listed, establishing a minimum wage is the action that might not enhance the operation of a free market, as it can create a price floor above the equilibrium wage, potentially leading to a surplus of labor (unemployment), and distortion of market signals for labor.
Skelton Brush Company sells standard hair brushes. The following information summarizes Skelton's operating activities for 2017. Selling and Administrative Expenses $44,000 Purchases 89,500 Net Sales Revenue 142,300 Merchandise Inventory, January 1, 2017 11,650 Merchandise Inventory, December 31, 2017 14,400 Calculate the operating income for 2017.
Answer:
The operating income for 2017 is $11,550
Explanation:
For computing the net income, first we have to calculate the cost of goods sold which is shown below:
Cost of goods sold = Opening merchandise inventory + Purchase - Closing inventory
= $11,650 + $89,500 - $14,400
= $86,750
Now, we know that if we deduct the cost of goods sold from sales, than gross profit is come.
So, Sales - Cost of goods sold = Gross profit
$142,300 - $86,750 = Gross Profit
Gross Profit = $55,550
Now deduct the Selling and Administrative Expenses from gross profit, so that net income can computed
So, Gross profit - Selling and Administrative Expenses = Net income
$55,550 - $44,000 = Net income
Net income = $11,550
Hence, the operating income for 2017 is $11,550
Tyson is a 25% partner in the KT Partnership. On January 1, KT makes a proportionate distribution of $16,000 cash, inventory with a $16,000 fair value (inside basis $8,000), and land with a fair value of $8,000 (inside basis of $12,000) to Tyson. KT has no liabilities at the date of the distribution. Tyson's basis in his KT partnership interest is $24,000. What is Tyson's basis in the distributed inventory and land?
Answer:
Tyson's basis in the distributed inventory = $8,000 and land = $12,000
Explanation:
Total basis value of assets received by Tyson = Cash + Inventory + Land
= $16,000 + $8,000 + $12,000 = $36,000
For this Tyson's basis of interest in partnership = $24,000
Thus Tyson's Basis in Inventory = $8,000
Tyson's basis for Land = $12,000
Note: the basis is book value and not the market value even in case it is less than book value.
Tyson's basis in the distributed inventory = $8,000 and land = $12,000
Tyson's basis in the distributed inventory and land from KT Partnership is respectively $2,000 and $3,000, computed by taking his 25% ownership of the inside basis.
Explanation:In this business scenario involving partnership distribution, Tyson's basis in the distributed inventory and land can be calculated based on the inside basis. For the inventory, Tyson would take his ownership percentage (25%) of the inside basis which results in $2,000 ($8,000 * 0.25). Similarly, for the land, he would take 25% of the inside basis, amounting to $3,000 ($12,000 * 0.25). Therefore, Tyson's basis in the distributed inventory is $2,000 and $3,000 in the land.

Abby purchased 100 shares of her dad’s favorite stock for $25.80 per share exactly 1 year ago, commission free. She sold it today for a total amount of $2865. She plans to invest the entire amount in a different corporation’s stock today, but must now pay a $50 commission fee. If she plans to sell this new stock exactly 1 year from now and realize the same return as she has just made, what must be the total amount she receives next year? Include the commission fee as a part of the purchase price, but neglect any tax effects.
Abby made a return of $285 on the first stock and then reinvested $2815 after taking a commission fee into account. To realize the same return, she needs to receive $3100 next year.
Explanation:Let's start by calculating the return Abby made on the first stock. She bought the stock for $25.80 per share, buying a total of 100 shares which leads to an investment of $25.80 * 100 = $2580. She then sold the stocks for a total of $2865, resulting in a return of $2865 - $2580 = $285.
Next, Abby plans to reinvest the total amount but now there is a $50 commission fee. So, the amount she actually invests is $2865 - $50 = $2815. To realize the same return as her first investment, she should add the return of $285 to her invested amount so the total amount she needs to receive next year would be $2815 + $285 = $3100.

Bonita Industries has gathered the following information concerning one model of shoe: Variable manufacturing costs $28000 Variable selling and administrative costs $12000 Fixed manufacturing costs $160000 Fixed selling and administrative costs $120000 Investment $1600000 ROI 30% Planned production and sales 5000 pairs What is the markup percentage?
Answer:
Markup percentage = 150%
Explanation:
Markup = Selling Price - Cost
Total Cost = Variable + Fixed
Variable Costs = Manufacturing + Selling and Administrative
= $28,000 + $12,000 = $40,000
Fixed Costs = Manufacturing + Selling and Administrative
= $160,000 + $120,000 = $280,000
Total Cost = $40,000 + $280,000 = $320,000
Cost per unit = $320,000/ 5,000 = $64 per unit
Return on Investment = $1,600,000 X 30% = $480,000
Selling Value = Total Cost + Profit or Return = $320,000 + $480,000 = $800,000
Selling Price per unit = $800,000/5,000 = $160
Markup Percentage = [tex]\frac{Selling price - Cost per unit}{Cost per unit} X 100[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{160-64}{64} X 100 = 150[/tex] percent

Harding, Jones, and Sandy, a partnership, is in the process of liquidating. The partners have the following capital account balances; $24,000, $24,000, and ($9,000) respectively. The partners share all profits and losses 16%, 48%, and 36%, respectively. Sandy has indicated that the ($9,000) deficit will be covered with a forthcoming contribution. The remaining partners have requested an immediate distribution of $20,000 in cash that is available. How should this cash be distributed?
Answer: Cash to be distributed to Harding = $ 17000, Jones = $ 3000
Explanation:
It has been indicated that the ($9,000) deficit will be covered with a forthcoming contribution
∴ The Remaining Capital Balance is = (24000 + 24000) = $48000
∵Total cash Available = $20000
Loss = 48000 - 20000 = $ 28000
Loss will be shared between Harding & Jones in ratio = 16:48
∴ Harding Capital balance = [tex]\frac{(24000 - 28000)\times16}{16+48}[/tex] = $ 17000
∴ Jones Capital balance = [tex]\frac{(24000 - 28000)\times48}{16+48}[/tex] = $ 3000
Cash will be Distributed in their capital balance ratio
Therefore,
Cash to be distributed to Harding = $ 17000, Jones = $ 3000
Answer: Cash to be distributed to Harding = $17,000, Jones = $3,000
Explanation:
24,000+24,000+20,000=68,000
16%/(16%+48%)=25%
48%/(16%+48%)=75%
68,000*25%=17,000
68,000*75%=51,000
24,000+24,000=48,000
51,000-48,000=3,000

Inventory Valuation under Absorption Costing During the most recent year, Judson Company had the following data associated with the product it makes: Units in beginning inventory 300 Units produced 15,000 Units sold ($300 per unit) 12,700 Variable costs per unit: Direct materials $20 Direct labor $60 Variable overhead $12 Fixed costs: Fixed overhead per unit produced $30 Fixed selling and administrative $140,000 How many units are in ending inventory?
Answer:
Value(ending inventory) = Units (ending inventory) × Cost per unit
= (2600 × 122)
= $ 317,200
Explanation:
Given :
Beginning inventory = 300
Units produced = 15,000
Units sold ($300 per unit) = 12,700
Variable costs per unit:
Direct materials = $20
Direct labor = $60
Variable overhead = $12
Fixed costs:
Fixed overhead per unit produced = $30
Fixed selling and administrative = $140,000
Units in ending inventory = Units in beginning inventory + Units produced - Units sold ($300 per unit)
= $300 + $15000 - $12700
= $2600
Cost per unit = Variable costs per unit + Fixed costs
= (Direct material + Direct labor + Variable overhead) + Fixed overhead per unit produced
= ($20 + $60 + $12) + $30
= $122
Value of ending inventory = Units in ending inventory × Cost per unit
= (2600 × 122)
= $ 317,200
