Answer: All of the above
Explanation:
The Long run is a period of time where all the factors of production of a firm are variable. For example, a firm can establish a bigger factory. It takes a longer period of time than the short run.
John Maynard Keynes also believed that in the long run, we are all dead. Also, an economy will self-correct because shocks matter in the short run and not the long run. The self-correction mechanism talks about price adjustment. When there is a shock, prices will adjust and the economy will be brought back to the long-run equilibrium.
Answer:
All of the above.
Explanation:
Activism is used in both politically and also in academic research. Its usage academically means only the willingness of a judge to strike down the action of a certain branch of government or to overturn a judicial precedent, with no implied judgment as to whether the activist decision is correct or not.
Therefore in the scenario above, activism totally believes that it takes a very long time to reach the long run. Their research also welcomes that frictions to the self-correcting mechanism of markets prevent prices and wages from being very flexible. And aslo that Keynes was right with his statement "in the long-run, we are all dead".

a. Inventory, December 31, 2011 500 $ 10
For the year 2012:
b. Purchase, April 11 800 8
c. Purchase, June 1 700 12
d. Sale, May 1 (sold for $38 per unit) 500
e. Sale, July 3 (sold for $38 per unit) 520
f. Operating expenses (excluding income tax expense), $19,000
Required:
1. Calculate the number and cost of goods available for sale.
2. Calculate the number of units in ending inventory.
3. Compute the cost of ending inventory and cost of goods sold under (a) FIFO, (b) LIFO, and (c) weighted average cost. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to the nearest dollar amount.)
4. Prepare an Income Statement that shows 2012 amounts under the FIFO method, LIFO method and weighted average method.
Answer:
Explanation:
Sales Purchase
Transaction unit Unit Unit cost Total
Opening inventory 500 10 5000
April 11 800 8 6,400
June 1 700 12 8,400
May 1 500 38
July 3 520 38
Operating expenses = $19,000
1)Number of goods available = 2000
Cost of goods available = $19,800
2) Number of units in ending inventory
= Opening inventory + purchase - sales
1500-1020= 480
3) COST(FIFO)
Ending inventory Goods sold
May 1 500*10 = 5000
July 3 520* 8 = 4,160
280 * 8 = 2240
700*12 = 8,400
Total 10,640 9,160
COST (LIFO)
May 1 500 * 12 = 6000
July 3 200*12 = 2400
320* 8 = 2560
480*8 = 3,840
500*10 = 5000
Total 8,840 10,960
Weighted average cost
19800/2000 =9.9 480*9.9 = 4,752 1020*9.9=10,098

Chuck Olson, age 16, buys a used car from Bobby Duncan Used Cars Center on September 15, 2006. Olson agrees to pay $200 a month for 12 months. A month after the purchase, Olson is involved in an accident that wrecks the car. He immediately calls Duncan Cars and informs them that he is disaffirming the contract. According to traditional common laws, which of the following is most likely to be true?
a. Olson does not have a duty to place Duncan in status quo ante
b. Olson can ask Duncan to pay for the damages as he hasn't made the full payment for the car.
c. Olson has to pay for the damages and then return the car to Duncan.
d. Olson can successfully press charges and force Duncan to take care of the damages caused to the car.
Answer:
Olson can successfully press charges and force Duncan to take care of the damages caused to the car ( D )
Explanation:
Chuck Olson age 16 ( a minor ) can successfully press charges and request/force Bobby Duncan used cars center to take care of the damages caused to the car. this is because according to traditional common laws a contract entered by a minor is considered null and void hence Olson can successfully disaffirm the contract and Bobby Duncan would have to accept the damages and take care of them.
A minor is not required by traditional common law to entered into any form of obligatory contract.
Ridiculousness, Inc., has sales of $44,000, costs of $20,600, depreciation expense of $1,700, and interest expense of $1,000. If the tax rate is 35 percent, what is the operating cash flow, or OCF
Answer:
Operating cash flow= 15,155
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Ridiculousness, Inc., has sales of $44,000, costs of $20,600, depreciation expense of $1,700, and interest expense of $1,000.
Tax rate= 35%
To calculate the operating cash flow, we need to use the following structure:
Sales= 44,000
COGS= (20,600)
Gross profit= 23,400
Depreciation= (1,700)
Interest= (1,000)
EBT= 20,700
Tax= 20,700*0.35= (7,245)
Depreciation= 1,700
Operating cash flow= 15,155
An investor must decide between putting $2,000 into a regular retirement plan or putting $1,440 into a Roth retirement plan. If the investor's tax rate is 28% now and in retirement, and she expects to earn 12% per year over the next 20 years, which will produce more cash in the end?
Answer:
They both produced the same cash amount
Explanation:
The regular retirement would have its deducted after withdrawal from the plan while Roth retirement plan's tax would have been deducted prior to investing funds in the plan
The future value of the $2000 is computed thus:
FV=PV*(1+r)^n
PV is the amount saved in the plan which is $2000
r is the growth rate of the funds in the plan which is 12%
n is the number of years the amount would be left in the plan
FV=$2000*(1+12%)^20=$ 19,292.59
After tax amount=$ 19,292.59*(1-28%)=$ 13,890.66
The future value of the $1,440 is computed thus:
FV=$1,440*(1+12%)^20=$ 13,890.66
The Roth plan has not tax implication thereafter as tax was paid before savings.
Calip Corporation, a merchandising company, reported the following results for October: Sales $413,000 Cost of goods sold (all variable) $169,100 Total variable selling expense $20,700 Total fixed selling expense $17,900 Total variable administrative expense $13,100 Total fixed administrative expense $30,400 The contribution margin for October is:_________.
a) $210,100
b) $364,700
c) $161,800
d) $243,900
Answer:
$243,900
Explanation:
Calip corporation reported the following results for the month of October
Sales= $413,000
Cost of goods sold= $169,100
Total variable sling expenditure= $20,700
Total fixed selling expense= $17,900
Total variable administrative expense= $13,100
Total fixed administrative expense= $30,400
The contribution margin can be calculated by subtracting the total cost of goods sold from the sales
= $413,000-$169,100
= $243,900
Hence the contribution margin for October is $243,900

Todd Mountain Development Corporation is expected to pay a dividend of $3 in the upcoming year. Dividends are expected to grow at the rate of 10% per year. The risk-free rate of return is 8%, and the expected return on the market portfolio is 18%. The stock of Todd Mountain Development Corporation has a beta of 0.60. Using the constant-growth DDM, the intrinsic value of the stock is _________.
Answer:
$75
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
Ke = risk free rate of return + beta×(market portfolio - risk free rate of return)
= 8% + 0.60 × (18% - 8%)
= 8% + 6%
= 14%
= 0.14
Now using the constant-growth DDM model :
Intrinsic value of the stock = Dividend ÷ (Ke - expected growing rate)
= $3 ÷ (0.14-0.10)
= $75
Hence, Intrinsic value of the stock is $75.
Differential Analysis for a Lease or Buy Decision Sloan Corporation is considering new equipment. The equipment can be purchased from an overseas supplier for $125,500. The freight and installation costs for the equipment are $1,600. If purchased, annual repairs and maintenance are estimated to be $2,500 per year over the five-year useful life of the equipment. Alternatively, Sloan can lease the equipment from a domestic supplier for $30,000 per year for five years, with no additional costs. Prepare a differential analysis dated December 3 to determine whether Sloan should lease (Alternative 1) or purchase (Alternative 2) the equipment. Hint: This is a "lease or buy" decision, which must be analyzed from the perspective of the equipment user, as opposed to the equipment owner. If an amount is zero, enter "0". Use a minus sign to indicate a loss.

Huron Company produces a commercial cleaning compound known as Zoom. The direct materials and direct labor standards for one unit of Zoom are given below:
Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price
or Rate Standard Cost
Direct materials 5.6 pounds $ 3.00 per pound $ 16.80
Direct labor 0.4 hours $ 7.00 per hour $ 2.80
During the most recent month, the following activity was recorded:
a. Ten thousand eight hundred pounds of material were purchased at a cost of $2.90 per pound.
b.
The company produced only 1,080 units, using 9,720 pounds of material. (The rest of the material purchased remained in raw materials inventory.)
c. Five hundred and thirty two hours of direct labor time were recorded at a total labor cost of $6,384.
Required:
Compute the materials price and quantity variances for the month. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Direct materials price variance F
Direct materials quantity variance U
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard:
Direct materials 5.6 pounds $ 3.00 per pound
Actual:
10,800 pounds were purchased at a cost of $2.90 per pound.
The company produced only 1,080 units, using 9,720 pounds of material.
To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (3 - 2.9)*10,800
Direct material price variance= $1,080 favorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (5.6*1,080 - 9,720)*3
Direct material quantity variance= $11,016 unfavorable
Consider the hypothetical example of Dominion Island that has firms producing only two goods, gold and cotton, the
proceeds of which it uses to purchase other goods and services from neighbouring islands through its banks. Assuming
that all other required institutions in an economy are prevalent in this island, discuss the circular flow of income and
spending in Dominion Island. No diagram is required.
Answer:
Circular Flow of Income simply refers to how money moves from one point to another through an economy.
Explanation:
Inflow
In every economy, the household sector must engage in spending. This is referred to as Consumption (C).
When injects money via public projects, and other forms of spending, it is referred to as Government Spending (G).
In the case above, the money flows from those who produce the gold and the cotton.
The two firms producing goods (gold and cotton) also inject money into the economy when they invest and expand their operations. This is referred to as (I).
As the produce gold and cotton and export to other neighbouring Islands, more money flows into the economy. This is typified by (X).
From the monies they receive, they pay their workers the banks make money from the transactions and also pay their workers, hence the Consumption loop is completed.
Outflow
Both the bank and the companies producing gold and cotton and the workers who have received payment all pay taxes (T) to the government. This reduces the flow of money in circulation but also enables Government Spending. Hence the Government Spending loop is completed.
The household and businesses also keep monies aside. This is called savings (S) and also has a way of reducing money from the economy when it increases.
Another leakage happens when the two firms import raw materials and labour for their production. Let's call this (M). When importation happens, money leaves the economy and the Import-Export loop is completed.
Let's examine the Inflow-Outflow factors
All the income (inflow) into Dominion Island are captured as C + G + X + I while
all the expenditure/outflows of Dominion Island are captured as T + S + M.
The relationship between the inflow and the outflow also helps us to understand the Gross Domestic Product of Dominion Island.
"GDP of Dominion Island is defined as the value (in monetary terms) of all finished goods and services made within it in a given period." It can also be summarised as "the sum of monies spent by consumers, the government, monies invested by the firms in Dominion Island, and the income from exports minus the total value of imports into Dominion Island.
Put in the form of an equation GDP for Dominion Island therefore
= C + G + I + (X – M).
Cheers!
Explanation:
The groups in this island of Dominion are;
1. the firm
2. the banks
3. the workers
4. neigboring islands
For the firms, they have:
1. In one case cash outflows to labourers who work to produce the two products gold and cotton.
2. And in another case, the firms are consumers since they pay for other products available in neighbouring islands.
For the banks, they get cash inflows since they receive payments from the two firms.
For workers, who receive their wages from the firms take this wages to their individual households as cash inflows which they spend in the economy making them Consumers and they may likely save some part of their wages.
For the neighbouring islands, they receive cash inflows from Dominion island as exports.

Explanation:
Cumulative, Preferred Stock attracts fixed dividend every year, whether profit is made or not, and whether dividend is declared or not. In any year when there is no dividend declared, the dividend due to cumulative preferred stock is accumulated and paid whenever dividend is declared. And the holders of cumulative prefered stock take precedence in receiving dividends.
Preferred Stock is a class of stock that attracts fixed dividend based on percentage. They have preference with respect to dividend before the Common Stock and in the sharing of company resources. There are many variants. Some are cumulative and others are non-cumulative. Some are participatory while others are not.

d. All of these.
e. only the borrower's incentive to undertake highly risky investments and the owners' inability to ensure that managers will act in the owners' interest of these.
Assume that $4.4 million is deposited into a bank with a reserve requirement of 16 percent. Instructions: Round your answer to two decimal places. a. What is the money supply as a result
Answer:
$3696000
Explanation:
Given:
Amount deposited into a bank is $4.4 million with a reserve requirement of 16 percent.
To find: money supply
Solution:
Amount deposited into a bank = $4.4 million = $4400000
Amount of reserve = [tex]\frac{16}{100}[/tex] × 4400000 = $704000
Money supply = Amount deposited into a bank - Amount of reserve
= $4400000 - $704000
=$3696000
Suppose Antonio and Caroline are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action Left or Right. The payoff matrix that follows shows the payoff each person will earn as a function of both of their choices. For example, the lower-right cell shows that if Antonio chooses Right and Caroline chooses Right, Antonio will receive a payoff of 3 and Caroline will receive a payoff of 7.
Caroline
Left Right
Antonio Left 4, 6 6, 8
Right 7, 5 3, 7
The only dominant strategy in this game is for_________ to choose________ . The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Antonio chooses_________ and Caroline chooses_________ .
Answer:
Caroline to choose right
Antonio chooses left and Caroline chooses right.
Explanation:
Interpreting the payoff matrix:
Both choose right:
Antonio receives 3, Caroline receives 7
Both choose left:
Antonio receives 4, Carolina receives 6
Caroline chooses left, Antonio chooses right:
Antonio receives 7, Caroline receives 5
Caroline chooses right, Antonio chooses left:
Antonio receives 6, Caroline receives 8
As we can see, Antonio only has a better payoff then Caroline if she chooses left and he chooses right. Therefore, the dominant strategy is for Caroline to choose right, this way she will always have the greater payoff.
If Antonio chooses right, the outcome may alter depending on the outcome, therefore it is not a Nash Equilibrium. However, if Antonio chooses left, no matter what Caroline chooses, she will have the greater payoff. At the same time, if Caroline chooses right, Antonio cannot change the outcome by changing his strategy. Therefore, the outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Antonio chooses left and Caroline chooses right.

Private solutions to correct for externalities consider the following scenario:________.
Suppose that a chicken farm uses a nearby stream to dispose of the wastes released by its chickens. These wastes flow downstream into a lake that has become thick with algae and polluted due to the minerals in the waste matter. The local office of a nonprofit environmental organization collects enough donations to stop the farm's pollution.
Which of the following types of private solutions to the externality of pollution has occurred in this case?
A. Integration of different types of businesses
B. Contracts
C. Moral codes and social sanctions
D. Charities
It's important to note that sometimes private solutions to externalities do not work. For example, this occurs when communications barriers or social customs are important enough relative to the potential gains involved that __________
Answer: Charities; coordinating negotiations among all of the parties too costly
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that that a chicken farm uses a nearby stream to dispose of the wastes that is released by its chickens and that the wastes flow downstream into a lake that has become polluted due to the waste matter. The local office of a nonprofit environmental organization then collects enough donations in order to stop the farm's pollution.
The type types of private solutions to the pollution externality which has occured is charity. This is because it is a voluntary activity. The money collected is meant for a specific objective which is to tackle the issue of pollution.
It is also vital to note that sometimes the private solutions to externalities might not work. For example, this occurs when communications barriers or social customs are important enough relative to the potential gains involved that coordinating negotiations among all of the parties too costly.

(Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
a. Working capital.
current assets - current liabilities
current year = 7,800,000 - 3,900,000 = $3,900,000 last year = 5,940,000 - 2,760,000 = $3,180,000b. The current ratio. (Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.)
current year = 7,800,000 / 3,900,000 = 2 last year = 5,940,000 / 2,760,000 = 2.15c. The acid-test ratio. (Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.)
current year = (7,800,000 - 3,900,000) / 3,900,000 = 1 last year = (5,940,000 - 2,400,000) / 2,760,000 = 1.28d. The average collection period. (The accounts receivable at the beginning of last year totaled $1,750,000.) (Use 365 days in a year. Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal place.)
turnover ratio = net sales / average accounts receivable

current year = 365 / 7 = 52.14 days last year = 365 / 7.03 = 51.92 dayse. The average sale period. (The inventory at the beginning of last year totaled $2,110,000.) (Use 365 days in a year. Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal place.)
current year = {[(3,900,000 + 2,400,000) / 2] / $12,600,000} x 365 = 91.25 dayslast year = {[(2,400,000 + $2,110,000) / 2] / $9,900,000} x 365 = 83.14 daysf. The operating cycle. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal place.)
current year = 52.14 + 91.25 = 143.39 days last year = 51.92 + 83.14 = 135.06 daysg. The total asset turnover. (The total assets at the beginning of last year totaled $14,690,000.) (Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.)
current year = 15,750,000 / [(17,100,000 + 14,880,000)/2] = 0.98 last year = 12,480,000 / [(14,880,000 + 14,690,000)/2] = 0.84
Suppose that a company's equity is currently selling for $28.25 per share and that there are 4.7 million shares outstanding and 27 thousand bonds outstanding, which are selling at 100 percent of par. If the firm was considering an active change to their capital structure so that the firm would have a D/E of 1.7, which type of security (stocks or bonds) would they need to sell to accomplish this, and how much would they have to sell
Answer:
Debt would be issued
amount of debt issuance is $ 198,717,500.00
Explanation:
Target capital structure is Debt/Equity=1.7
Current capital structure=debt value/equity value
equity value=$28.25*4,700,000=$132,775,000.00
debt value=27,000*$1000=$27,000,000
Current D/E=$27,000,000/$132,775,000= 0.20
This implies that debt would to be increased
The required amount of debt is computed below which is x
1.7=x/132,775,000.00
x=1.7*132,775,000.00
x=$ 225,717,500.00
Required debt is $225,717,500.00
amount of debt issue=required debt-existing debt= 225,717,500.00-27,000,000=$198,717,500.00
As a company produces more units within the relevant range, the difference between total variable cost and total fixed cost is:___________. A) Total variable cost and total fixed cost bother remain constant B) Total variable cost and total fixed cost both change C) Total variable cost changes and total fixed cost remains constant D) Total variable cost remains constant and total fixed cost changes
Answer:
C.Total variable cost changes and total fixed cost remains constant
Explanation:
The difference between both the total variable cost and total fixed cost is that then total variable cost changes and the total fixed cost remains constant because variable cost changes reason been that it is not constant which means that it is movable while fixed cost remains constant and tend to remain fixed in which case means that it is not movable. Example of fixed cost is Land because land cannot be moved from one location to another location.

Suppose that your state raises its sales tax from 5 percent to 6 percent. The state revenue commissioner forecasts a 20 percent increase in sales tax revenue. Which of the following are plausible as a result of this increase in the sales tax. Is this plausible? Explain.
Answer: No it's not plausible.
Explanation:
Here is the complete question:
Suppose that your state raises its sales tax from 5 percent to 6 percent. The state revenue commissioner forecasts a 20 percent increase in sales tax revenue. Is this plausible? Explain.
From the question, we are told that the state increases its sales tax from 5 percent to 6 percent and the state revenue commissioner predicted that a 20 percent increase in the sales tax revenue due to the increase in sales tax.
This is not plausible, when the sales tax increases from from 5 percent to 6 percent, this will lead to an increase in the prices of the goods. According to the law of demand, the higher the price of goods and services, the lower will be the demand for the good. So, in this case, due to the increase in sales tax, it may prompt the consumers to reduce their spending.
Therefore, a 20 percent increase in the sales tax revenue is not plausible. Even if there will be an increase in the sales tax revenue, it won't be up to 20 percent.
The company's fixed costs that are traceable to the Northern branch is $175,000, while fixed costs that are traceable to the Southern branch is $180,000. The Northern branch is further divided into two segments based on the customer types: the local and the nonlocal. Traceable fixed cost for the local is $68,250, and traceable fixed cost for the nonlocal is $88,700.
How much is the common fixed costs of the two order types for the Northern branch?
Answer:
$18,050
Explanation:
The computation of the common fixed cost of two order types for the northern branch is shown below:
= Company fixed cost traceable to the northern branch - traceable fixed cost for the local - traceable fixed cost for the non local
= $175,000 - $68,250 - $88,700
= $18,050
For computing it we simply deducted the traceable fixed cost from the company fixed cost so that the common fixed cost for the two orders types could come
The common fixed cost is the cost which supports more than the one division in the same business

Top Sound International designs and sells high-end stereo equipment for auto and home use. Engineers notified management in December 2021 of a circuit flaw in an amplifier that poses a potential fire hazard. Further investigation indicates that a product recall is probable, estimated to cost the company $4 million. The fiscal year ends on December 31.Required:Should this contingent liability be reported, disclosed in a note only, or neither.
Answer:
This should be reported
Explanation:
A contingent liability can be described as a liability that likely to be incurred at it depends on the outcome of an uncertain future event.
The condition for reporting a contingent liability is that its contigency must be likely and it is possible to reasonably estimate the amount of the liability.
Since it is indicated in the question that investigation indicates that a product recall is probable, ant it is estimated to cost the company $4 million, it therefore implies that the contigent liability meets the two conditions for it to be reported.
Problems with (or leakages from) the money creation process would include an increase in the reserve requirement. unwillingness of borrowers to obtain loans from banks to invest in factories or expansion of the firm. a decrease in the reserve requirement. an increase in the federal funds rate. a decrease in the federal funds rate.
Answer:
The correct answer is unwillingness of borrowers to obtain loans from banks to invest in factories or expansion of the firm.
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Leakage problem occurs or happens within an economy when the money goes out of the economy, which leads to a loss in the economic value of goods and services, and also leads to loss in profits making.
This would lead to an unwillingness of borrower's to obtain loans from banks in the expansion of the firm or to invest in factories.
