Answer:
D. demand is unitary elastic.
Explanation:
A unitary elastic demand means that the quantity demanded will change proportionally to any change in the price of the product or service. E.g. price decreases by 10%, then quantity demanded will increase by 10%.
The marginal revenue curve represents the additional revenue generated by selling one more unit. As the marginal revenue curve approaches 0, it means that selling one additional unit generates lower revenues.
Suppose that your retirement benefits during your first year of retirement are $60,000 per year which is just enough to meet your cost of living during the first year. However, your cost of living is expected to increase at an annual rate of 5% due to inflation. If there is no cost-of-living adjustment in your retirement pension, then some of your future living cost has to come from savings other than retirement pension. If your saving account earns 7% interest a year, how much should you set aside in order to meet this future increase in the cost of living for 25 years
Answer:
The money side aside in order to meet this future increase in the cost of living for 25 years is $429,060
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
The first year retirement benefit is = $60,000
Expected increase of cost of living at an annual rate = 5%
Savings earn account = 7%
Now,
We find the the pension current worth
P₁ = $60,000 (P/A, i, n)
= $60,000 (P/A 7%, 25)
$60,000 (11.654)
= 699, 254
Thus,
we compute the current worth of cost of living by applying the factor of geometric series.
P₂ = $60,000 (P/A, g,i, n)
= $60,000 (P/A, 5% 7%, 25)
= $60,000 [ 1-(1+0.05)^25 + (1+0.07)^-25/0.07 -0.05]
= $60,000 (1 - 0.6239/0.02)
=$60,000 (0.3761/0.02)
= $22,566/0.02 =$1,128,300
Now, we calculate the money that will be saved
Which is $1,128,300 - $699,254
= $429,060
Inventory Valuation under Absorption CostingDuring the most recent year, Judson Company had the following data associated with the product it makes:Units in beginning inventory 300Units produced 14,200Units sold ($300 per unit) 12,700Variable costs per unit: Direct materials $20Direct labor $60Variable overhead $13Fixed costs: Fixed overhead per unit produced $30Fixed selling and administrative $140,000Required:1. How many units are in ending inventory?2. Using absorption costing, calculate the per-unit product cost.3. What is the value of ending inventory under absorption costing?
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Units in beginning inventory 300
Units produced 14,200
Units sold ($300 per unit) 12,700
Variable costs per unit:
Direct materials $20
Direct labor $60
Variable overhead $13
Fixed costs:
Fixed overhead per unit produced $30
Fixed selling and administrative $140,000
1) Ending inventory= units produced + beginning inventory - units sold
Ending inventory= 14,200 + 300 - 12,700
Ending inventory= 1,800
2) The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
Unit product cost= 20 + 60 + 13 + 30
Unit product cost= $123
3) Ending inventory= 1,800*123= $221,400

You are thinking about renting a room in a house next year with three of your friends. For each month's rent, you are willing to pay $435, your first friend is willing to pay $400, your second friend is willing to pay $560, and your third friend is willing to pay $460. The landlord agrees to offer each of you separate leases but will charge you all the same price: $400. You decide this is a good deal, so you and your friends move in. A couple of months later, you learn from someone who knows the landlord that he would have been willing to rent each room for $350 per month. 1. What is the amount of producer surplus per month?$ 2. What is the amount of total consumer surplus per month? $ 3. What is the amount of total surplus each month? $
Answer:
1. $200
2. $255
3. $455
Explanation:
Producer surplus is the difference between the least price a producer is willing to sell his product and the price of the good.
Producer surplus = price - least price of the product
$400 - $350 = $50
$50 × 4 = $200
Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.
Consumer surplus = highest amount a consumer would be willing to pay - price
Consumer surplus for me = $435 - $400 = $35
Consumer surplus for the first friend = $400 - $400 = 0
Consumer surplus for the second friend = $560 - $400 = $160
Consumer surplus for the third friend = $460 - $400 = $60
Total surplus = consumer surplus + producer surplus
Total consumer surplus = $60 + $160 + 0 + $35 = $255
Total surplus = $255 + $200 = $455

Assume yourself as a Marketing Specialist of a Company and Determine the New Product Development Process by manufacturing a New Product for your company.
Explanation:
Assuming my company produces body care products and decides to introduce a new product–a toothbrush, the development process would involve:
1. Idea Generation:
It smbegins with an idea or imagination of what the ideal toothbrush would be, what problem would it solve for consumers. The idea could be random or it could be as a result of an identified need.
2. Idea Evaluation:
Remember, it is one thing to have an idea but another to have an idea that would work. Therefore, quality time would be taken to separate workable ideas about the ideal toothbrush from bad ones. This idea evaluation process is a very useful stage in the product development process.
3. Concept Development and Testing:
Remember, testing the concept about the new toothbrush allows for an expanded idea. The prototype of the toothbrush would be tested with consumers to find out whether the idea is worth the effort. Their feedback would be noted to improve the product further.
4. Marketing strategy
5. Final Product development

Emperial Jewelers manufactures and sells a gold bracelet for $403.00. The company’s accounting system says that the unit product cost for this bracelet is $264.00 as shown below:
Direct materials $ 143
Direct labor 90
Manufacturing overhead 31
Unit product cost $ 264
The members of a wedding party have approached Imperial Jewelers about buying 28 of these gold bracelets for the discounted price of $370.00 each. The members of the wedding party would like special filigree applied to the bracelets that would require Imperial Jewelers to buy a special tool for $456 and that would increase the direct materials cost per bracelet by $11. The special tool would have no other use once the special order is completed.
To analyze this special order opportunity, Imperial Jewelers has determined that most of its manufacturing overhead is fixed and unaffected by variations in how much jewelry is produced in any given period. However, $7.00 of the overhead is variable with respect to the number of bracelets produced. The company also believes that accepting this order would have no effect on its ability to produce and sell jewelry to other customers. Furthermore, the company could fulfill the wedding party’s order using its existing manufacturing capacity.
Required:
1. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the special order from the wedding party?
2. Should the company accept the special order?
Answer and Explanation:
1. The computation of the financial advantage or disadvantage is shown below:
Estimated demand 28 units
Particulars Per unit Total
Sales revenue $370 $10,360
Less: Variable cost
Direct material
($143 + $11) $154 -$4,312
Direct labor $90 -$2,520
Variable Manufacturing
overhead $7 -$196
Total variable cost $251 ($7,028)
Contribution margin $119 $3,332
Less: Additional cost -$456
Net income or loss $2,876
2. Since there is a net income of $2,876 so the special order should be accepted.

Pearson Motors has a target capital structure of 30% debt and 70% common equity, with no preferred stock. The yield to maturity on the company's outstanding bonds is 12%, and its tax rate is 40%. Pearson's CFO estimates that the company's WACC is 13.70%. What is Pearson's cost of common equity
Answer:
Cost of common equity is 16.49%
Explanation:
The WACC of weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure. The capital structure of the firm can comprise of the following components namely debt, preferred stock and common stock.
For a firm which has only debt and equity, the WACC is calculated as follows,
WACC = wD * rD * (1 - tax rate) + wE * rE
Where,
w represents the weight of each componentr represents the cost of each componentwe multiply the cost of debt (rD) by (1 - tax rate) to calculate the after tax cost of debtPlugging in the values of the available components, we can calculate the cost of common equity to be,
0.1370 = 0.3 * 0.12 * (1 - 0.4) + 0.7 * rE
0.1370 = 0.0216 + 0.7 * rE
0.1370 - 0.0216 = 0.7 * rE
0.1154 / 0.7 = rE
rE = 0.164857 or 16.4857% rounded off to 16.49%
ThreePoint Sports Inc. manufactures basketballs for the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA). For the first 6 months of 2020, the company reported the following operating results while operating at 80% of plant capacity and producing 120,300 units.
Amount Sales $4,571,400
Cost of goods sold 3,713,667
Selling and administrative expenses 534,893
Net income $322,840
Fixed costs for the period were cost of goods sold $960,000, and selling and administrative expenses $257,000.
In July, normally a slack manufacturing month, ThreePoint Sports receives a special order for 10,000 basketballs at $28 each from the Greek Basketball Association (GBA). Acceptance of the order would increase variable selling and administrative expenses $0.75 per unit because of shipping costs but would not increase fixed costs and expenses.
Prepare an incremental analysis for the special order. (Round all per unit computations to 2 decimal places
Answer:
Incremental profit is $120,500
Explanation:
First and foremost, it is noteworthy that accepting the new order would increase revenue, cost of goods sold as well as the variable selling and administrative expenses.
Selling price per unit=$4,571,400/120,300=$38
variable cost of goods sold per unit=($3,713,667-$960,000)/120,300=$22.89
increase in selling and administrative expenses by unit is $0.75
initial variable selling and administrative expenses per unit=($534,893- $257,000)/120,300=$2.31
revised variable selling and administrative expenses per unit=$2.31 +$0.75=$3.06
Incremental analysis
Increase in revenue($38*10,000) $380,000
increase in cost of goods sold($22.89*10,000) ($228,900)
increase in selling & admin. exp.($3.06*10,000) ($30,600)
incremental profit $120,500
The beginning cash balance is $15,000. Sales are forecasted at $800,000 of which 80% will be on credit. 70% of credit sales are expected to be collected in the year of sale, 28% in the year thereafter. Cash expenditures for the year are forecasted at $475,000. Accounts Receivable from previous accounting periods totaling $9,000 and will all be collected in the current year. The company is required to make a $15,000 loan payment on the last day of every year.. Compute the excess of cash receipts over cash disbursements during the current year.
Answer:
$127,000
Explanation:
Cash sales=1-80%=20%*$800,000=$160,000.00
Credit sales collection=($800,000-$160,000)*70%=$448,000.00
Accounts receivable from previous year=$9,000
Total cash receipts=$160,000+$448,000+$9,000=$ 617,000.00
Total cash payments= cash expenditure+loan payment
cash expenditures is $475,000
loan payment is $15,000
total cash payments=$475,000+$15,000=$490,000
excess of cash receipts over cash disbursements=$617,000-$490,000=$127,000
Heather Hudson makes stuffed teddy bears. Recent information for her business follows: Selling price per bear$35.00 Total fixed cost per month 1,500.00 Variable cost per bear 24.00 Determine the degree of operating leverage if she sells 350 bears this month. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) 35.00
Answer:
1.64
Explanation:
Heather Hudson degree of operating leverage
Formula for degree of operating leverage will be:
Degree of Operating Leverage = Total Contribution Margin / Net Operating Income
Total CM = (35-24) * 350
= 3,850
Formula for Net operating income
Net Operating income = Contribution Margin – Fixed Costs
= 3,850 – 1,500 =2,350
Therefore:
Operating Leverage =
3,850/2,350
= 1.64
Answer:
1.64
Explanation:
Heather Hudson is a manufacturer of stuffed teddy bears, the following are the current information gotten from her business
Selling price of the bear= $35
Total fixed cost per month= 1,500
Variable cost for one near= 24
The formular used to calculate the degree of operating leverage is
= Total contribution margin/ Net operating income
First of all we have to find the Total contribution margin
= (35-24)×350
= 11×350
= 3,850
Total contribution cost = 3,850
The next step is to find the Net operating income
= Contribution margin-fixed costs
= 3,850-1,500
= 2,350
Therefore the degree of operating leverage is
= 3,850/2350
= 1.64
Hence Heather Hudson degree of operating leverage if she sells 350 bears for a month is 1.64

You are the manager of a retail store. You believe the economy is in a recession and that sales for the month will be unusually slow. Since you have complete discretion over the pricing at your location, you decide to have a store-wide sale and offer ten percent off all merchandise for a three-day period. You don't expect your superiors to criticize this decision as you believe they, along with the majority of the other store managers, feel the same way about the economy as you do. Which one of the following applies to you?
Explanation:
In the scenario described above, it can be identified that the behavioral characteristic of the manager is that he is an aggressive person.
This type of behavior has as main characteristics the expression of your ideas, needs and feelings to the detriment of those of other people, this can be seen in the question in the excerpt that says that the manager made an important decision for the business without consulting his superiors because you believe they feel the same way about the economy as you do.
Although this aggressive behavior can sometimes be expressive, it can also lead to hostility.
Games Galore Corp. hires Haley, a minor, to create new customized game software for certain clients. Haley signs a contract that requires her to work for Games Galore for eighteen months. Before beginning work, however, Haley tells Games Galore that she will not create new software for Games Galore and that she is going to work for Ideal Worldcraft, Inc., a Games Galore competitor. Is Games Galore's contract with Haley enforceable? Why or why not?
Explanation:
In the scenario exemplified in the question above, it can be said that because he is a minor, Haley's contract with Games Galore can be canceled.
Therefore, if the case is brought to court, it will likely be determined that Haley will return the valuable work materials provided by Game Galore and any amounts received by Haley that were provided for in the contract.
You are a manager for Herman Millera major manufacturer of office furniture. You recently hired an economist to work with engineering and operations experts to estimate the production function for a particular line of office chairs. The report from these experts indicates that the relevant production function is:Q = 2(K)1/2(L)1/2where K represents capital equipment and L is labor. Your company has already spent a total of $8,000 on the 9 units of capital equipment it owns. Due to current economic conditions, the company does not have the flexibility needed to acquire additional equipment. If workers at the firm are paid a competitive wage of $120 and chairs can be sold for $400 each, what is your profit-maximizing level of output and labor usage?
Answer:
$4000 is the correct answer to the given question .
Explanation:
The marginal cost with compare to the labor can be written as
[tex]MC\ = \frac{dQ}{dL} \\MC =\frac{d\ ( 2(K)1/2(L)1/2\ )}{dL} \\\\MC=\frac{\sqrt{K} }{\sqrt{L} }[/tex]
Here K=9 units putting this value in the previous equation we get
[tex]MC\ = \frac{\sqrt{9} }{\sqrt{L} }[/tex]
[tex]MC=\frac{3}{\sqrt{L} }[/tex]
We can find the value of labor by the given formula that are given below
[tex]V *MC=\ W\\400\ *\frac{3}{\sqrt{L} }\ =120\\ L=10[/tex]
From the given question that are mention in question
Q = 2(K)1/2(L)1/2
Putting the value of K and L in the given equation we get
[tex]Q\ =2 * \sqrt{9} \ * \sqrt{100} \\Q\ = 60[/tex]
So profit maximizing output is =$60 chairs as the chairs can be sold for the $400 each so = $60 * $400 *10=$24000 chairs
As the competitive wage of $120 for 100 units as well as the total of $8,000 on the 9 units of capital equipment
=$20000
Therefore profit-maximizing level of output =$24000-$20000=$4000
Suppose that on March 1, 2014 Cardullo's purchased an order of German chocolate from a supplier for $250, but didn't pay cash for the order until March 31, 2014. How would you record this transaction at the time of the purchase?
Answer:
Dr merchandise inventory $250
Cr accounts payable $250
Explanation:
The appropriate thing to do on the transaction date would be to recognize that $250 is being owed to the supplier from whom the German chocolate was bought by crediting accounts payable with $250 and debiting merchandise inventory with the same amount.
Upon payment on 31 March 2014,the accounts payable amount is reversed by a way of debit and cash account credited accordingly with the $250 to show an outflow of cash from the business.
Consider the following production data for Alternatives A and B in a firm that uses a 10% interest rate. Annual fixed cost per unit Alt A - $ 2 million Alt B - $ 3.5 million Annual variable cost per unit Alt A - $ 850 Alt B - $250 If the company is going to produce 4000 units annually, which alternative should be chosen? a. Alt. A b.Neither alternative should be chosen because the negative cash flows are greater than the positive cash flows for both alternatives. c. This problem cannot be solved because there is not enough data given. d. Alt. B
ANSWER: This problem cannot be solved because there is not enough data given. Option C is the most correct option.
EXPLANATION: when setting up a business, we consider all alternative of production, and determine the one that has a lower cost and still gives the best output, that is optimization.
For the question: it cannot be solved because of the negative sign in the cost, which needs to be explained further in the question. This cost cannot be entered into book keeping unless more explanation is given to the negative sign, as cost is not revenue. It is the money spent already and should have a positive sign.
Daniel deposits $2,000 per year at the end of the year for the next 15 years into an IRA account that currently pays 7%. How much will Daniel have on deposit at the end of the 15 years
Answer:
$50,258.
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
We can calculate the deposit amount at the end of 15 years by using following formula:-
Deposit Amount per year(PMT) = $2,000
Interest rate = 7% = 0.07
Deposit year (n) = 15 years
Future value(FVIFA) = PMT × [{(1 + interest rate)^number of years - 1} ÷ interest rate]
= $2,000 × [{(1 + 0.07)^15 - 1} ÷ 0.07]
= $2,000 × [{2.7590315 - 1} ÷ 0.07]
= $2,000 × [1.7590315/0.07]
= $2,000 × 25.129022
= $50,258
According to the analysis total deposit at the end of the year is $50,258.
The agreed cost of an item to be purchased by a business on credit is 4000. The applicable cost will be debited to advertising expenses. The item is subject to 5% goods and services tax GST and 5% provincial sales tax PST. Nguyen it’s transaction is recorded what amount will be credited to Accounts Payable?
Answer:
$4,400
Explanation:
For calculation of amount that will be credited to Accounts Payable first we need to find out the GST and PST which is shown below:-
Goods and services tax GST = Goods and services percentage × Purchase cost
= 5% × $4,000
= $200
Provisional sales tax PST = Provisional sales tax percentage × Purchase cost
= 5% × $4,000
= $200
Amount that will be credited to accounts payable = Purchase cost + Goods and services tax GST + Provisional sales tax PST
= $4,000 + $200 + $200
= $4,400
Therefore for computing the amount that will be credited to accounts payable we simply added all the taxes value with the purchase cost.

Explanation:
Carol Corp total gain or loss on discontinued operation
Revenues $100,000
Expenses $160,000
Components sold $200,000
Hence:
$100,000-$160,000+$200,000
= $140,000
$140,000 * net of tax 60%
= $84,000 gain
The tax rate of 40%
100%-40%=60% as the net tax rate
Titon Sports, which produces footballs, has two departments: cutting and stitching. Footballs that have undergone the cutting process are immediately transferred to the stitching department. Direct material is added at the end of the stitching process. Conversion costs are added evenly during stitching operations. When those operations are done, the footballs are immediately transferred to Finished Goods. The following is a summary of the March 2019 operations of the stitching department:

Brockman Corporation's earnings per share were $3.50 last year, and its growth rate during the prior 5 years was 9.0% per year. If that growth rate were maintained, how many years would it take for Brockman's EPS to triple
Answer:
12.75 years
Explanation:
Solution
Recall that:
The earnings of Brockman Corporation per share is =$3.50
The growth rate in 5 years = 9.0%
Now,
We apply this formula which is stated below:
A=P(1+r/100)^n
P = present value
n = period of time
r = the rate of interest
Thus,
(3*3.5)=3.5*(1.09)^n
3=(1.09)^n
By applying long on either side we have the following
log 3=n*log (1.09)
n=log 3/log (1.09)
Approximately, this is equal to =12.75 years
Therefore, it will take Brockman's EPS to triple in 12 .75 years.
In July, one of the processing departments at Okamura Corporation had beginning work in process inventory of $26,000 and ending work in process inventory of $31,000. During the month, the cost of units transferred out from the department was $161,000. In the department's cost reconciliation report for July, the total cost to be accounted for under the weighted-average method would be:
Answer:
$192,000
Explanation:
Using the weighted-average method the Costs to be accounted for will be:
Cost of ending work in process inventory$31,000
Add Cost of units transferred out $161,000
Total cost accounted for$192,000
Therefore using the Weighted average method the cost to be accounted for will be $192,000
Which of these behaviors is BEST for managing an intercultural project team?
a. Enter the situation with no knowledge of the local culture and customs to avoid any appearance of bias.
b. Classify members of the project team in accordance with popular stereotypes.
c. Learn alternative means of exchanging information.
d. Foster an atmosphere of inclusivity by ignoring cultural differences.
Answer:
Foster an atmosphere of inclusivity by ignoring cultural differences.
Explanation:
When we gather a team of individuals from different cultural backgrounds to form a team that undertake tasks to create a unique product or service, its good we acknowledge that differences exist between cultures. We are not expected to assign values to such cultures, terming some as right or wrong, good or bad. Every form of cultural stereotypes or bias much be avoided.
Janice would like to send her parents on a cruise for their 25th wedding anniversary. She has priced the cruise at $15,000 and she has 5 years to accumulate this money. How much must Janice deposit annually in an account paying 10 percent interest in order to have enough money to send her parents on the cruise
Answer:
Annual deposit= $2,456.96
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The number of years= 5 years
Final value= $15,000
Interest rate= 10%
We need to calculate the annual deposit to reach the objective. We will use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (15,000*0.1) / [(1.10^5)-1]
A= $2,456.96
Using benefit-cost ratio analysis, determine which one of the three mutually exclusive alternatives should be selected.
Each alternative has a 10-year useful life. Assume a 20% MARR.
A B C
First cost $560 $340 $120
Uniform annual benefit 140 100 40
Salvage value 40 0 0
Answer:
project C
Explanation:
20% MARR
A B C
First cost $560 $340 $120
Uniform annual benefit $140 $100 $40
Salvage value $40 0 0
yearly cash flows 1 - 9 $140 1 - 10 $100 1 - 10 $40
10 $180
Using an excel spreadsheet I calculated the present value of the project's cash flows: $593.41 $419.25 $167.70
all the NPVs are positive: $33.41 $79.25 $47.70
since we are going to apply a benefit-cost analysis, we must determine the return on investment (ROI) = net profit (or NPV in this case) / investment
ROI A = $33.41 / $560 = 5.97%ROI B = $79.25 / $340 = 23.31%ROI C = $47.70 / $120 = 39.75%Since the return on investment is higher for project C, then that project should be selected.
Midas Corporation is a sporting goods manufacturer. Most of its energies and resources are devoted to manufacturing and selling a line of sports shoes that has been a reasonable hit in the past. The company rarely undertakes any marketing research studies to assess consumer wants and needs and seldom devises new advertising or promotional strategies. Midas Corporation is exhibiting _____. Selected Answer: Correct production orientation Answers: investor orientation market orientation customer orientation
Answer:
Production orientation
Explanation:
When a company engages in production orientation it means that they are producing what they believe their customers will purchase simply because they are offering it. The company does not care about their customers' needs and preferences, and simply believes that because they are good at producing a certain type of product that was successful in the past, it will continue to be successful and its customers will remain loyal to them. This philosophy was very popular during the industrial revolution where companies produced what they could hoping that there would be enough customers to buy their production regardless of what it was.
Suppose that examination of a pro forma reveals that the fifth-year net operating income (NOI) for an income-producing property that you are analyzing is $913,058 (you can assume that this cash flow occurs at the end of the year). If you estimate the projected rental growth rate for the property to be 3% per year, determine the projected sale price of the property at the end of year 5 if the going-out capitalization rate is 8%.
Answer:
The project sale price at the end of year 5 is $ 11,755,622
Explanation:
Solution
Recall that:
Analyzing an income producing property is = $913,058
The rental rate of growth for the property to be is =3%
At the end of the year 5, the projected sale price of the property if going g-out capitalization is = 8%
Then
we find the projected sales price is given below:
= ( $ 913,058 x 1.03 ) / 0.08
= $940,449.74/0.08
= $ 11,755,622
