During the past year, the high and low use of three different resources for Fly High Airlines occurred in July and April. The resources are airplane depreciation, fuel, and airplane maintenance. The number of airplane flight hours is the driver. The total costs of the three resources and the related number of airplane flight hours are as follows:
Resource Airplane Flight Hours Total Cost
Airplane depreciation:
High 44,000 $ 18,000,000
Low 28,000 18,000,000
Fuel:
High 44,000 445,896,000
Low 28,000 283,752,000
Airplane maintenance:
High 44,000 15,792,000
Low 28,000 11,504,000
Required:
1. Develop an annual cost formula for airplane depreciation.
Total annual cost of airplane depreciation = ________ x $________
Develop an annual cost formula for fuel.
Total annual cost of fuel = $________ x (Select: Airplane depreciation, Fuel, or Annual number of airplane flights))
Develop an annual cost formula for airplane maintenance.
Total annual cost of airplane maintenance = $________ + ($_____ x (Select: Airplane depreciation, Fuel, or Annual number of airplane flights))
2. Using the three annual cost formulas that you developed, predict the cost of each resource in a year with 480,000 airplane flight hours.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Airplane depreciation:
High 44,000 $ 18,000,000
Low 28,000 $18,000,000
Fuel:
High 44,000 $445,896,000
Low 28,000 $283,752,000
Airplane maintenance:
High 44,000 $15,792,000
Low 28,000 $11,504,000
Required:
1.
A) Depreciation expense remains constant on both flight hours. Therefore, the depreciation expense is calculated using the straight-line method. In this method, depreciation is constant.
Depreciation expense= $18,000,000
B) To calculate the fuel cost, we need to use the high low method:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (445,896,000 - 283,752,000) / (44,000 - 28,000)
Variable cost per unit= $10,134 per hour of flight.
Fuel is a variable cost.
C) We need to calculate the variable and fixed component of maintenance.
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (15,792,000 - 11,504,000) / (44,000 - 28,000)
Variable cost per unit= $268
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 15,792,000 - (268*44,000)
Fixed costs= $4,000,000
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 11,504,000 - (268*28,000)
Fixed costs= $4,000,000
2. Hours= 480,000
Depreciation= 18,000,000
Fuel= 10,134*480,000= $4,864,320,000
Maintenance= 268*480,000 + 4,000,000= $132,640,000
Total= $5,014,960,000

Ben attended a workshop hosted by SCORE, a SBA organization that counsels small-business owners on developing a good vision statement. In that workshop the speakers discussed how an organization's vision needs to describe ________.
Answer:
what the company wants to become, and its long-term direction and strategic intent
Explanation:
Vision statement is a long term road map of the direction a business needs to take in order to achieve its set goals and objectives. It usually undergoes little revision.
However the short term operational processes are constantly reviewed to make the business better align with long term goals as stated in the vision statement.
In this scenario where the vision statement of small businesses are being formulated the speakers will discuss what the company wants to become, and its long-term direction and strategic intent
Suppose that on Valentine's Day, the demand for both roses and greeting cards increases by the same percentage amount. However, the price of roses increases by more than the price of greeting cards. Based on this information, you can conclude that the supply of Valentine's cards is sensitive to price than the supply of roses?
Answer:
Based on the information supply of cards is more elastic (price sensitive) than that of roses
Explanation:
Price elasticity of supply is defined as the sensitivity of quantity supplied to changes in price.
The formula is given below
Price elasticity of supply= Change in quantity supplied ÷ Change in price
In this scenario the demand for both roses and cards increases, however the price of roses increases more.
This implies that the denominator in the formula is higher in roses resulting in smaller price elasticity of supply.
The elasticity of supply for cards is higher than that of roses, so it is more sensitive to changes in price.
Cards can be stored from year to year so the labour for maintaining a stock of cards is low with resultant low price.
On the other hand roses require care to grow. It requires watering, application of chemicals to treat infestation and so on. So suppliers tend to push the extra cost of growing roses to the buyers
Answer:
Yes , Valentine cards are more price sensitive.
Explanation:
When Demand exceeds supply, prices rise. As a result of the increase in price, supply increases.
The increase in supply is in line with the law of supply which says, the higher the price, the higher the quantity supplied and the lower the price, the lower the quantity supplied.
If there's an increase in the demand for roses and cards, it is expected that prices would rise. However, if supply for these items increases, prices would fall and if supply doesn't increase, price would not decrease.
So if the price of roses increases by more than the price of greeting cards it indicates that the supply of rose didn't increase as much as the increase in supply of cards.
This means that the supply of roses is less price sensitive when compared to greeting cards.
You are a new summer intern working for a major professional services firm. during your lunch break each day, you and a fellow intern, bob, eat at a local sandwich shop. one day, bob’s girlfriend joins you for lunch. when the bill arrives, bob pays with a company credit card and writes the meal off as a business expense. bob and his girlfriend continue to be "treated" to lunch for a number of days. you know bob is well aware of a recent memo that came down from management stating casual lunches are not valid business expenses. when you ask bob about the charges, he replies, "hey, we’re interns. those memos don’t apply to us. we can expense anything we want. does bob really believe that what he is doing is not wrong? does it matter? what are you going to do about it?
Answer:
1. Bob is aware of what he is doing. He knows it is wrong.
2. It matters.
Explanation:
Bob is committing fraud against the firm. Because he received the memo from the business organization that casual lunches are not business expenses.. Bob acted on purpose as he and his girlfriend who is not an employee are enjoying benefit from the firm by making the meals to be business expenses, when he is aware that they are not. Thus, it can be said that Bob is committing fraud against the business.
2. Yes it matters and as an employee of the business, I'm going to speak to Bob and explain to him that he is going against company policy. And it could constitute as employee embezzlement.
Since the expenses that he is writing off as business expenses is completely invalid. The fraud would be reported to the management because failure to might put me at risk by making me an accomplise to the fraud.
Martinez Company has three cost pools and two doggie products (leashes and collars). The activity cost pool of ordering has the cost driver of purchase orders. The activity cost pool of assembly has a cost driver of parts. The activity cost pool of supervising has the cost driver of labor hours. The accumulated data relative to those cost drivers is as follows: Cost Drivers Total Expected Estimated Leashes Collars Cost Drivers Overhead Purchase Orders 130,000 orders $260,000 70,000 60,000 Parts 800,000 parts 400,000 300,000 500,000 Labor Hours 25,000 hours 300,000 15,000 10,000 $960,000The costs assigned to leashes for supervising are:_______.a. $90.000b. $180.000c. $120.000d. $60.000
Answer:
The cost assigned to leashes for supervising is $180,000
Explanation:
Estimated Overhead Cost Drivers Overhead Rates
$ 260,000.00 130,000 $ 2.00 Per Order
$ 400,000.00 800,000 $ 0.50 per Part
$ 300,000.00 25,000 $ 12.00 Per Hour
Labor hours for the leashes is 15,000 hours

Suppose two factors are identified for the U.S. economy: the growth rate of industrial production, IP, and the inflation rate, IR. IP is expected to be 4% and IR 5%. A stock with a beta of 1 on IP and 0.6 on IR currently is expected to provide a rate of return of 16%. If industrial production actually grows by 5%, while the inflation rate turns out to be 6%, what is your best guess for the rate of return on the stock? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
Answer:
17.6%
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
We can calculate the rate of return on the stock by using following formula:-
Expected Provide Rate of Return = Estimate Rate of Return on the Stock + (Expected IP × Stock with a Beta on IP) + (Expected IR × Stock with a Beta on IR)
Before estimate rate of return on the stock
= 16% = α + (4% × 1) + (5% × 0.6)
= 16% = α + (0.04 × 1) + (0.05 × 0.6)
= 0.16 = α + 0.04 + 0.03
= 0.16 - 0.04 - 0.03 = α
α = 0.09 =9%
Rate of return after the changes
= 9% + (5% × 1) + (6% × 0.6)
= 0.09 + 0.05 + 0.036
= 0.176
= 17.6%
According to the analysis, New rate of return on the stock is 17.6%

Question I - Debbie Debtor borrowed $1,000.00 from First Big Bank. Debbie Debtor agreed to repay the $1,000.00 over eight months plus interest. Debbie Debtor loses her job and stops making payments to First Big Bank after two months. What is the source of law that governs the subsequent remedies that may be available to First Big Bank? Question II - Eddie Embezzler has worked for Betty Boss for many years as an accountant. During his employment, Eddie has taken thousands of dollars from Betty’s business. As a result, Betty has suffered. Did Eddie violate a criminal law, a civil law, or both? Explain.
Answer:
(1). Check Explanation.
(2). Under both laws.
Explanation:
(1). Many times, things do not go as one wishes as this is the case of Debbie Debtor in the question above. Debbie Debtor is unable to repay her debt and no matter what the First Big Bank must collect their money back. The ways in which First Big Bank will collect their money back is governed by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).
The money can be collected ( if the loan is secured) from the the guarantors or if the bank has taken a mortgage on the loan, the property can be collected by the bank.
(II). Eddie violated both the criminal law and the civil law because embezzlement( a statutory offence) is different from theft(so, we can't really say that it is a criminal case or it violates the criminal law).
Embezzlement is about converting another's person properties into your own. The judgement depends on the kind of property or the situation in which the fund or the properties are embezzled.

For a certain good we have LaTeX: q=f\left(p\right)=200e^{-0.4p}q = f ( p ) = 200 e − 0.4 p. a) Find the elasticity of demand at price p = $50. b) At p = $50, is the demand elastic, inelastic, or does it have unit elasticity? Explain what this means for this product. c) Find the elasticity of demand at price p = $20. d) At p = $20, is the demand elastic, inelastic, o
Answer:
a) 20
b) elastic
c) 8
d) elastic
Explanation:
Given that q = f ( p ) = [tex]200e^{-0.4p}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{dq}{dp} = -80e^{-0.4p}[/tex]
a) The elasticity of demand is given as:
Elasticity of demand = [tex]\frac{dq}{dp}*\frac{p}{q}[/tex]
At p =$50, [tex]\frac{dq}{dp} = -80e^{-0.4p}=-80e^{-0.4*50}=-1.65*10^{-7}[/tex]
q = f ( p ) = [tex]200e^{-0.4p}[/tex] = [tex]200e^{-0.4*50}=-4.12*10^{-7}[/tex]
Elasticity of demand = [tex]\frac{dq}{dp}*\frac{p}{q}[/tex] = [tex]-1.65*10^{-7}*\frac{50}{-4.12*10^{-7}}=20[/tex]
b) At p = $50, it is elastic Since Elasticity of demand is greater than 1 it is elastic. That is the price have a big effect on the quantity
c) The elasticity of demand is given as:
Elasticity of demand = [tex]\frac{dq}{dp}*\frac{p}{q}[/tex]
At p =$20, [tex]\frac{dq}{dp} = -80e^{-0.4p}=-80e^{-0.4*20}=-0.027}[/tex]
q = f ( p ) = [tex]200e^{-0.4p}[/tex] = [tex]200e^{-0.4*20}=-0.067[/tex]
Elasticity of demand = [tex]\frac{dq}{dp}*\frac{p}{q}[/tex] = [tex]-0.027*\frac{20}{-0.067}=8.0[/tex]
d) At p = $20, it is elastic Since Elasticity of demand is greater than 1 it is elastic
Spiffy Sandals (Scenario) Spiffy Sandals is a Canadian footwear firm. Spiffy is planning to enter into a contract with an international producer to lower costs of production. On paper the figures look very good. However, Spiffy management has learned that the producer's factories are sweatshop conditions. Benito is the key Spiffy executive involved in the contract. He adheres to the relativist view regarding ethical standards and in meetings often says "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." Which of the following do you think Benito agrees with most strongly?
a. Freedom should not partner with foreign business entities.
b. Freedom should passively accept the practices that prevail in countries where it does business.
c. Freedom should not hire foreign managers.
d. Freedom should institute a single global code of conduct for all its employees and suppliers.
Answer:
Option B. Freedom should passively accept the practices that prevail in countries where it does business.
Explanation:
The Spiffy Executive knows that the a norm or ritual or common practice can be ethical in one country whereas not acceptable in the other one. So when he says that "when in Rome, do as the Romans do", so he literally means that we are going to accept the cultural diffences and get maximum out of it. This means he is not concerned about the sweatshop conditions as it is acceptable in that country.
At December 31, 2021 and 2020, Sheridan Company had 171000 shares of common stock and 12000 shares of 7%, $100 par value cumulative preferred stock outstanding. No dividends were declared on either the preferred or common stock in 2021 or 2020. Net income for 2021 was $442000. For 2021, earnings per common share amounted to (rounded to the nearest penny)
Answer:
The earnings per common share amounted to $2.53
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
The Net Income for 2021= $442000
Thus,
The Dividend to be accrued on Preference shares for 2021 = 1200 *7% * 100
= $8400
The Earnings available to common share-holders for 2021 =$442000-$8400
= $433600
The number of common shares outstanding is = 171000 shares
So,
The Basic Earnings per share = 433600/171000
= $2.53
Suppose that the total benefit to any one person (all people are identical) of a fireworks display is , where g is the dollar amount of fireworks(thus the marginal cost of $1 worth of fireworks is $1). Also suppose that each person in a town pays an equal share of the cost of the display. Does adding more people to the town make each person better off(in terms of net benefits derived from fireworks displays)? If so, by exactly how much?
Answer: The answer is provided below
Explanation:
As g is a constant, the addition of more people to the town will decrease per person cost of firework display. Therefore, adding more people to the town will make each person better off.
The net benefit is also equal to the total benefit each person gets (2√g) minus cost of per person of the firework display which is (g/h), where h is the number of people that are in the town.
Net benefits =2√g-(g/h)
Therefore, as h increases, "g/h" decreases and net benefits will increase.
If we then derivative net benefits with its respect to h ,we then get how much the net benefit will change.
∆net benefits/∆h=+g/h²

You are considering investing $1,000 in a complete portfolio. The complete portfolio is composed of Treasury bills that pay 5% and a risky portfolio, P, constructed with two risky securities, X and Y. The optimal weights of X and Y in P are 60% and 40%, respectively. X has an expected rate of return of 14%, and Y has an expected rate of return of 10%. If you decide to hold 25% of your complete portfolio in the risky portfolio and 75% in the Treasury bills, then the dollar values of your positions in X and Y, respectively, would be __________ and _________.
Answer:
For X $150
For Y $100
Explanation:
The computation of optimal weight of X and Y in risky portfolio is shown below:-
Risk portfolio = Complete portfolio × Weight of risky portfolio
= $1,000 × 25%
= $250
So, Optimal weight of X and Y in risky portfolio will be
For X in dollars = Risk portfolio × Optimal weight percentage of X
= $250 × 60%
= $150
For Y in dollars = Risk portfolio × Optimal weight percentage of Y
= $250 × 40%
= $100
Therefore for computing the Optimal weight of X and Y in risky portfolio we simply multiply the risk portfolio with optimal percentage of X and in the similar way of Y.

A German worker takes 400 hours to produce a car and 2 hours to produce a case of wine. A French worker takes 600 hours to produce a car and X hours to produce a case of wine. For what values of X will gains from trade be possible
Answer and Explanation:
Given that
Number of hours taken to produced a car by German worker is 400 hours
In case of wine he takes 2 hours
And, the Number of hours taken to produced a car by French worker is 600 hours
In case of wine he takes X hours
Based on the above information, the values of X gains from trade is based on the opportunity cost so in this there is a competitive advantage occurs so in this case the values should be other than 3 as 600 hours ÷ hours = 300 hours
Hence, the values should be other than 3
2. Beachcomer, a coin dealer, sues to rescind a purchase by Boskett, who paid $50 for a dime both parties thought was minted in San Francisco. In fact, it was a very valuable dime minted in Denver. Beachcomer asserts a mutual mistake of fact regarding the genuineness of the coin as San Francisco-minted. Boskett contends that the mistake was as to value only. Explain who should win.
Answer and Explanation:
Beachcomer will withdraw its complaint (university of technology Legal Proceedings) to eliminate the deal, as Boskett acknowledges the poor interest. In actuality, Beachcomer claims that there is a consensual error in trying to measure the dime significance. Sue to revoke was the method used mostly by Beachcomer could assert the quality of Dime.As well as, if Beachcomer brings the suit back but rather resolves the deal with each other, all of them seem to be in a win-win situation. When Beachcomer decides to withdraw and Boskett can pay for its true worth, therefore Boskett will win, because the deal has indeed actually occurred.So that the above seems to be the right answer.
