Explanation:
Below is the production possibilities frontier for the United States. It shows that the United States is able to produce either 100 barrels of oil or 25 bushels of corn using all of its available resources. Also suppose that the United States decides to produce at point A : 60 barrels of oil and 10 bushels of corn. If the United States engages in international trade and trades 20 barrels of oil for 20 bushels of corn with another country, it will be able to consume outside of its production possibilities frontier. How many bushels of corn will it have at the end of the exchange
Answer:
30 bushels of corn
Explanation:
opportunity cost of producing 1 barrel of oil = 25/100 = 0.25 bushels of corn
opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of corn = 100/25 = 4 barrels of oil
current production:
60 barrels of oil
10 bushels of corn
if it trades 20 barrels of oil in exchange for 20 bushels of corn, it will be gaining 20 - (20 x 0.25) = 15 bushels of corn
after the exchange, the US will have 30 bushels of corn and 40 barrels of oil
this level is outside the PPF curve because if the US produced 40 barrels of oil, its maximum production of corn would have been 15 bushels (remember the 15 bushels of corn gained).
upo Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. The company based its predetermined overhead rate for the current year on the following data: Total machine-hours32,800 Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost$164,000 Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour$ 5 Recently, Job T687 was completed with the following characteristics: Number of units in the job10 Total machine-hours30 Direct materials$ 745 Direct labor cost$1,490 The unit product cost for Job T687 is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
Answer: $253.50 per unit
Explanation:
Total Overhead = Fixed manufacturing Overhead + Variable Manufacturing Overhead
= 164,000 + ($5 * 32,800)
= $328,000
Manufacturing overhead rate per hour = Total Overhead/ Machine hours
= 328,000/32,800
= $10 per hour
Job T687 used 30 machine hours so its manufacturing overhead is;
= 10 * 30
= $300
Job T687 cost = Direct materials + Direct labor cost + Manufacturing overhead
= 745 + 1,490 + 300
= $2,535
There were 10 units in the Job so unit product cost is;
= 2,535/10
= $253.50 per unit
onald owns a two-family home. He rents out the first floor and resides on the second floor. The following expenses attributable to the total building were incurred by Donald for the year ended December 31, 2019: Real estate taxes $1,800 Mortgage interest 1,600 Utilities 1,200 Repairs (first floor) 1,400 Painting (second floor) 400 In addition, the depreciation attributable to the entire building would be $2,000. What is the total amount of the expenses that Donald can deduct on Schedule E of Form 1040 (before any limitations)
Answer:
$3,300
Explanation:
The computation of the total amount of the expenses is shown below:-
Total amount of the expense = Real estate taxes + Mortgage interest + Utilities + Repairs + Paintings + Repairing
= ($1,800 ÷ 2) + ($1,600 ÷ 2) + ($1,200 ÷ 2) + 0 + ($2,000 ÷ 2)
= $900 + $800 + $600 + $0 + $1,000
= $3,300
So, we have applied the above formula.

6. Limitations of GDP Although GDP is a reasonably good measure of a nation's output, it does not necessarily include all transactions and production for that nation. Which of the following scenarios are either not accounted for or measured inaccurately by either the income or the expenditure methods of calculating GDP for the United States? Check all that apply. The quality of goods available to consumers The costs of air and water pollution Expenditures on federal highways The value of babysitting services, when the babysitter is paid in cash and the transaction isn't reported to the government When a U.S. company purchases and imports wood from Brazil to use to build new houses within the United States, this purchase increases the component of GDP while also net exports by the same amount. Therefore, the purchase of wood from Brazil causes in US GDP. g
Answer:
a.
The quality of goods available to consumers The costs of air and water pollution The value of babysitting services, when the babysitter is paid in cash and the transaction isn't reported to the governmentb. investment; decreases; no overall change
Explanation:
a. GDP only measures goods that have monetary value so when a good cannot be properly quantified in terms of cash, it is difficult to account for it in GDP. Also, even if the good has monetary value for the Government was unaware of it, they will be unable to use it in the calculation of GDP.
For these reasons, the quality of goods available to consumers, the costs of air and water pollution and the value of babysitting services, when the babysitter is paid in cash and the transaction isn't reported to the government will not be a part of GDP calculation.
b. When a U.S. company purchases and imports wood from Brazil to use to build new houses within the United States, this purchase increases the investment component of GDP while also decreasing net exports by the same amount. Therefore, the purchase of wood from Brazil causes no overall change in US GDP.
Purchasing raw materials for use in production is considered Investment by GDP. However, since it was imported it will reduce Net Exports which means that the transaction would cancel itself out in the GDP calculation as it would both increase investment and decrease Net exports by the same amounts.

What is business profit?A product's selling price less all manufacturing and selling costs, including taxes, or the difference between a company's revenue and costs. But generally speaking, a small business's healthy profit margin falls between 7 and 10 percent. But keep in mind that other industries, like retail or the food industry, can have reduced margins. They frequently have larger overhead expenditures, which explains this.
Profit is what remains after all costs have been deducted from a company's revenue, also known as income. In small firms, the owner or owners typically receive the entire profit. Publicly traded companies distribute dividends to stockholders from their profits.

A production department's output for the most recent month consisted of 12,500 units completed and transferred to the next stage of production and 12,500 units in ending Work in Process inventory. The units in ending Work in Process inventory were 65% complete with respect to both direct materials and conversion costs. There were 1,500 units in beginning Work in Process inventory, and they were 85% complete with respect to both direct materials and conversion costs. Calculate the equivalent units of production for the month, assuming the company uses the weighted average method.
Answer:
20,625 units
Explanation:
Calculation for the equivalent units of production
Using this formula
Equivalent units of production=Units completed+Ending work in process inventory
Let plug in the formula
Equivalent units of production=12,500+(12,500×65%)
Equivalent units of production=12,500+8,125
Equivalent units of production=20,625 units
Therefore the equivalent units of production for the month is 20,625 units.

Because if you have 24 cups of milk and need 1.25 cups to make 1 serving we would have to divide.
24 cups of milk - 1.25 cups of milk per serving = 19.2
Andrew plans to retire in 40 years. He plans to invest part of his retirement funds in stocks, so he seeks out information on past returns. He learns that over the entire 20th century, the real (that is, adjusted for inflation) annual returns on U.S. common stocks had mean 8.7% and standard deviation 20.2%. The distribution of annual returns on common stocks is roughly symmetric, so the mean return over even a moderate number of years is close to Normal. What is the probability (assuming that the past pattern of variation continues) that the mean annual return on common stocks over the next 40 years will exceed 10%
Answer:
26%
Explanation:
Given that Mean, μ = 8.7% = 0.087
Standard Deviation, σ = 20.2% = 0.202
Normal distribution, n = 40
Notice that the distribution annual returns of stocks are a bell-shaped distribution.
hence, using the formula
Zscore = (x - μ ) / σ
= where we have P(return greater than 10%)
= P(x > 0.10)
= P(x > 0.10) = P [z > (0.10 - 0.087)/0.202]
= P (z > 0.0643)
= 1 - P (z > 0.0643)
= Using the value from standard normal z table,
= P (x > 610) = 1 - 0.740 =0.26 = 26%
Hence, the correct answer is 26%.
Cortez Company is planning to introduce a new product that will sell for $96 per unit. The following manufacturing cost estimates have been made on 20,000 units to be produced the first year: Direct materials $ 800,000 Direct labor 640,000 (= $16 per hour × 40,000 hours) Manufacturing overhead costs have not yet been estimated for the new product, but monthly data on total production and overhead costs for the past 24 months have been analyzed using simple linear regression. The following results were derived from the simple regression and provide the basis for overhead cost estimates for the new product. Simple Regression Analysis Results Dependent variable—Factory overhead costs Independent variable—Direct labor-hours Computed values Intercept $ 120,000 Coefficient on independent variable $ 5.00 Coefficient of correlation 0.921 R2 0.848 Required: a. What percentage of the variation in overhead costs is explained by the independent variable? 92.10% 45.00% 84.80% 8.48% None of the above
Answer:
84.80%
Explanation:
According to the given situation, the computation of the percentage of the variation is shown below:-
The Percentage of the variation is
= R^2 × Percentage
= 0.848 × 100
= 84.80%
Therefore for computing the percentage of the variation we simply applied the above formula.
hence, the percentage of variation is 84.80%
GDP is calculated as the total market value of all final goods and services produced in a country during a year. (1) Suppose that in 2019, geologists discover large reserves of oil in Alaska which have a market value estimated at $50 billion at current oil prices. (2) Oil companies rush in and spend $1 billion to hire workers and position equipment to begin exploratory pumping during the same year. (3) One company accidentally spills some oil into a bay and by the end of the year pays $1 billion to other companies to clean it up. (4) The oil spill kills thousands of birds, seals, and other wildlife. What would be the effect of each of these 4 events on the US GDP for 2019 and why
Answer:
$2 billion
The amounts that would be included in GDP include the cost of hiring workers and the cost of cleaning up the spill.
1 billion + 1 billion = $2 billion
The negative effects of the oil spill would not be included in GDP because effects of population is not included in GDP.
Also, the value of the oil discovered would not be included in GDP because it was not sold in the current year.
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Net export = exports imports
When exports exceed import there is a trade deficit and when import exceeds import, there is a trade surplus.
Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:
services not rendered to oneself
Activities not reported to the government
illegal activities
sale or purchase of used products
sale or purchase of intermediate products
Nominal GDP is GDP calculated using current year prices while Real GDP is GDP calculated using base year prices. Real GDP has been adjusted for inflation.
An informal trade barrier is created by government actions.

Bosques Corporation has in stock 35,800 kilograms of material L that it bought fiveyears ago for $5.55 per kilogram. This raw material was purchased to use in a productline that has been discontinued. Material L can be sold as is for scrap for $1.67 perkilogram. An alternative would be to use material L in one of the company's currentproducts, Q08C, which currently requires 2 kilograms of a raw material that isavailable for $9.15 per kilogram. Material L can be modified at a cost of $0.78 perkilogram so that it can be used as a substitute for this material in the production ofproduct Q08C. However, after modification, 4 kilograms of material L is required forevery unit of product Q08C that is produced. Bosques Corporation has now received arequest from a company that could use material L in its production process. Assumingthat Bosques Corporation could use all of its stock of material L to make productQ08C or the company could sell all of its stock of the material at the current scrapprice of $1.67 per kilogram, what is the minimum acceptable selling price of materialL to the company that could use material L in its own production process
Answer:
material L should be sold for at least $3.80 per kg
Explanation:
alternative 1, sell material L at scrap value:
35,800 kg x $1.67 = $59,786
alternative 2, process material L and use it to produce Q08C:
processing costs = 35,800 x $0.78 = $27,924
modified L will replace 17,900 of another material that is worth 17,900 x $9.15 = $163,785
net additional income = $163,785 - $27,924 = $135,861
alternative 2 generates the highest additional income = $135,861 / 35,800 = $3.795 per kg.
the minimum acceptable price ≥ to the additional revenue generated by alternative 2, therefore, material L should be sold for at least $3.80 per kg
On December 31, 2022, Monty Company prepared an income statement and balance sheet and failed to take into account three adjusting entries. The incorrect income statement showed net income of $44,000. The balance sheet showed total assets, $166,400; total liabilities, $66,000; and stockholders’ equity, $100,400. The data for the three adjusting entries were: (1) Depreciation of $9,720 was not recorded on equipment. (2) Salaries and wages amounting to $10,720 for the last two days in December were not paid and not recorded. The next payroll will be in January. (3) Rent of $7,520 was paid for two months in advance on December 1. The entire amount was debited to Prepaid Rent when paid.
Answer:
Salaries and Wages are owed so they are now liabilities. They are also expenses and will reduce the Net Income.
Rent Revenue was in advance for 2 months meaning one of those months will be December which is in the current period so;
= 7,520/2
= $3,760 will be added to net income for the year
The same amount will be removed from Liabilities as the revenue has now been recognized.
Depreciation reduces the value of Fixed assets so will be deducted from Assets.
It is also an expense so it will reduce Net Income.
Whatever happens to Net Income will happen to Stockholders' equity as well because Net Income is an Equity account.

Exponentially smoothed forecast for a period of time, t using the values of average demand for 2005 through 2007 = [actual sales in 2005 + actual sales in 2006 + actual sales in 2007]/ 3.
Therefore, Exponentially smoothed forecast for a period of time, t using the values of average demand for 2005 through 2007 =[ 281 + 367 + 409]/3 = 1057/3 = 352.3.
Since we are asked to use the smoothed value calculated as of the end of 2012. Use the average demand for 2005 through 2007 as your initial forecast for 2008, then, we have that for 2008 the forecast = 352.3.
Therefore, the forecast from the year 2009 through to the year 2012 can be calculated as given below;
The forecast for the year 2009 with an alpha value of 0.20 = 0.2 × 467 + [1 - 0.2] × 352.3 = 375.24.
The forecast for the year 2010 with an alpha value of 0.20 = 0.2 × 369 + [1 - 0.2] × 352.3 = 355.64.
The forecast for the year 2011 with an alpha value of 0.20 = 0.2 × 511 + [1 - 0.2] × 352.3 = 384.04.
The forecast for the year 2012 with an alpha value of 0.20 = 0.2 × 421 + [1 - 0.2] × 352.3 = 366.04.
NU YU announced today that it will begin paying annual dividends. The first dividend will be paid next year in the amount of $.53 a share. The following dividends will be $.58, $.73, and $1.03 a share annually for the following three years, respectively. After that, dividends are projected to increase by 3.6 percent per year. How much are you willing to pay today to buy one share of this stock if your desired rate of return is 10 percent? Multiple Choice $16.67 $17.27 $3.40 $17.20 $13.60
Answer:
The current stock price is $13.60
Explanation:
D1 = $0.53
D2 = $0.58
D3 = $0.73
D4 = $1.03
Growth rate, g = 3.60%
Required return, r = 10.00%
D5 = D4 * (1 + g)
D5 = $1.03 * 1.036
D5 = $1.06708
P4 = D5 / (r - g)
P4 = $1.06708 / (0.10 - 0.036)
P4 = $16.673125
P0 = $0.53/1.10 + $0.58/1.10^2 + $0.73/1.10^3 + $1.03/1.10^4 + $16.673125/1.10^4
P0 = $13.60
So, current stock price is $13.60

#2 - You are organizing an exploratory meeting with engineering representatives from a dozen manufacturers from around the world to discuss updates to a technical standard that all the companies' products must adhere to. The representatives have a wide range of firmly held opinions on the subject because the changes could help some companies and hurt others. They can't even agree on what should be addressed in the first meeting, so you need to develop a minimum level of consensus on what should be on the agenda. Which combination of media and channels would you use to move the conversation forward and finalize the agenda? Each company has one representative, and any discussions need to be kept confidential. PreviousNext
Answer:
Written media and digital channel
Explanation:
In the stated problem been faced by the organizing committee or the convener of the meeting, the best combination of media and channel would be the use of written media and Digital channel.
This combination is the best because in the use of written media the ideas about the updates to a technical standards would be better represented and the advantages and disadvantages can also be highlighted clearly for the various representative to study and come to a consensus as well.
The digital channel is the best channel because it provides more security to data and easy access as well.
note : every confidential document must as well be written and stored using a digital channel hence the above choice.
EcoFabrics has budgeted overhead costs of $945,000. It has allocated overhead on a plantwide basis to its two products (wool and cotton) using direct labor hours which are estimated to be 450,000 for the current year. The company has decided to experiment with activity-based costing and has created two activity cost pools and related activity cost drivers. These two cost pools are cutting (cost driver is machine hours) and design (cost driver is number of setups). Overhead allocated to the cutting cost pool is $360,000, and $585,000 is allocated to the design cost pool.Additional information related to these pools is as follows:Machine hours wool: 100,000Number of set ups wool: 1,000Machine hours cotton: 100,000Number of set ups cotton: 500Machine hours total: 200,000Number of setups total: 1,500The amount of overhead allocated to the wool product line and the cotton product line using activity-based costing & traditional approach is as follows:ABC wool: $570,000Traditional wool: $472,500ABC cotton: $375,000Traditional cotton: $472,500Required:How does allocation using the traditional approach compare with the amount allocated using ABC?
Answer:
The main advantage of using ABC costing method is that it is more exact than traditional costing, and overhead costs are generally allocated on different basis (cost drivers) which results in a more fair distribution.
In this case, overhead costs allocated based solely on direct labor hours might be over or under stated since certain manufacturing procedures might require a lot of labor but few machines, while others might require few labor and a lot of machines.
Cutting is done mostly by machines while design is done mostly by employees. Allocating cutting overhead costs based on machine hours makes sense. Since both wool and cotton require the same amount of machine hours, cutting costs are allocated equally between them.
On the other hand, design is carried out by employees, so allocating design costs based on set ups (which is also carried out by employees) makes sense. That is why most of design costs are allocated to wool (wool requires 67% of setups).
Before under the traditional method, overhead costs were allocated evenly, but once we start allocating them based on more real cost drivers, the total amounts change.
Suppose it is decided that rent control in New York City will be abolished and that market rents will now prevail. Assume that all rental units are identical and so are offered at the same rent. To address the plight of residents who may be unable to pay the market rent, an income supplement will be paid to all low - income households equal to the difference between the old controlled rent and the new market rent. Are tenants better or worse off as a result of these policies?
Answer:
The answer is "Landlords are clearly worse off as a result of these two policies".
Explanation:
As both a consequence of such two policies, homeowners were become obviously better apart: increased owners' rent residences for increased rentals a month. Throughout fact, people who did never receive their benefit supplement who always used to rent reasonable price residences were becoming much worse.
During 2020, Stellar Furniture Company purchases a carload of wicker chairs. The manufacturer sells the chairs to Stellar for a lump sum of $137,655 because it is discontinuing manufacturing operations and wishes to dispose of its entire stock. Three types of chairs are included in the carload. The three types and the estimated selling price for each are listed below. Type No. of Chairs Estimated Selling Price Each Lounge chairs 920 $90 Armchairs 690 80 Straight chairs 1,610 50 During 2020, Stellar sells 460 lounge chairs, 230 armchairs, and 276 straight chairs. What is the amount of gross profit realized during 2020? What is the amount of inventory of unsold straight chairs on December 31, 2020? (Round cost per chair to 2 decimal places, e.g. 78.25 and final answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,845.) Gross profit realized during 2020 $enter a dollar amount 27,232 Amount of inventory of unsold straight chairs $enter a dollar amount 42,021
Answer:
What is the amount of gross profit realized during 2020?
(460 x $33.30) + (230 x $29.60) + (276 x $18.50) = $27,232
What is the amount of inventory of unsold straight chairs on December 31, 2020?
[(920 - 460) x $56.70] + [(690 - 230) x $50.40] + [(1,610 - 276) x $31.50] = $26,082 + $23,184 + $42,021 = $91,287
Explanation:
lump sum cost of chairs = $137,655
Type Chairs Selling Price Each Total
Lounge chairs 920 $90 $82,800
Armchairs 690 $80 $55,20
Straight chairs 1,610 $50 $80,500
total 3,220 $218,500
if we allocate costs based on resale, then each chair should cost:
Lounge chairs $90 x ($137,655 / $218,500) = $56.70
Armchairs $80 x ($137,655 / $218,500) = $50.40
Straight chairs $50 x ($137,655 / $218,500) = $31.50
contribution margin per chair:
Lounge chairs $90 - $56.70 = $33.30
Armchairs $80 - $50.40 = $29.60
Straight chairs $50 - $31.50 = $18.50
During 2021, Erin Corporation had 9,000,000 shares of common stock and 500,000 shares of 6% preferred stock outstanding. The preferred stock does not have cumulative or convertible features. Erin declared and paid cash dividends of $3,000,000 and $1,500,000 to common and preferred shareholders, respectively, during 2021. On January 1, 2020, Erin issued $20,000,000 of convertible 5% bonds at face value. Each $1,000 bond is convertible into five common shares. Erin's net income for the year ended December 31, 2021, was $60 million. The income tax rate is 20%. 20. What is Erin's basic earnings per share for 2021, rounded to the nearest cent
Answer:
Erin's basic earnings per share for 2021 is $6.50 per share.
Explanation:
Basic earnings per share (EPS) refers to a measure that show investors the amount of the net income of a company that is allotted to one share of the common stock of the company.
In the calculation of the basic EPS, the dilutive effects of convertible securities are not to be considered.
Therefore, Erin's basic earnings per share for 2021 can be calculated using the following formula:
Earnings per share (EPS) = (Net income - Preferred dividend) / Number of shares of common stock ...................... (1)
Where;
Net income = $60,000,000
Preferred dividend = $1,500,000
Number of shares of common stock = 9,000,000
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Earnings per share (EPS) = ($60,000,000 - $1,500,000) / 9,000,000 = $58,500,000 / 9,000,000 = $6.50 per share.
Therefore, Erin's basic earnings per share for 2021 is $6.50 per share.
