Answer:
The correct option is a. $61.25.
Explanation:
Note: The correct cost function of the farmer is as follows:
C(Q) = 0.05Q^2 ……………….. (1)
Differentiating equation
MC = C’(Q) = 0.1Q
P = Expected price = (25% * $3) + (50% * $3.50) + (25% * $4) = $3.50 ……. (2)
Since profit is maximized when MC = P, we equate equations (1) and solve for Q which is the expected profit-maximizing quantity as follows:
0.1Q = 3.50
Q = 3.50 / 0.1 = 35
Substituting Q = 35 into equation (1), we have:
C(Q) = 0.05 * 35^2 = $61.25
R(Q) = Maximum expected revenue = P * Q = $3.50 * 350 = $122.50
The farmer's maximum expected profit = R(Q) - C(Q) = $122.50 - $61.25 = $61.25
Therefore, the correct option is a. $61.25.
The farmer's maximum expected profit is d. None of the answers are correct.
Data and Calculations:
The Probability that the world price will be $3 = 25%
The Probability that the world price will be $3.50 = 50%
The Probability that the world price will be $4 = 25%
Therefore, the expected world price = $3.50 ($3 x 25% + $3.50 x 50% = $4 x 25%)
Sales Revenue = S(Q) $3.50Q
Cost function = C(Q) = 0.05Q²
The farmer's Maximum Profit is given by the profit function, P(Q) = 3.50Q - 0.05Q²
Thus, the farmer's maximum expected profit is d. None of the answers are correct.

Maverick law office currently orders ink refills 120 units at a time. The firm estimates that carrying cost is 40% of the $10 unit cost and that annual demand is about 480 units per year. The assumptions of the basic EOQ model are thought to apply. For what value of ordering cost would its current action (order quantity) be optimal
Answer:
Economic order quantity (EOQ)= 49 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Demand= 480 units per year
Order cost= $10
Holding cost= 10*0.4= $4
Economic order quantity (EOQ) is the ideal order quantity a company should purchase to minimize inventory costs such as holding costs, shortage costs, and order costs.
Economic order quantity (EOQ)= √[(2*D*S)/H]
D= Demand in units
S= Order cost
H= Holding cost
Economic order quantity (EOQ)= √[(2*480*10) / 4]
Economic order quantity (EOQ)= √(2,400)
Economic order quantity (EOQ)= 49 units

,Answer: $147,599.30
Explanation:
Lease payment = Interest component + Principal component
Year 1:
Interest = 10% * 170,000
= $17,000
Principal component = 27,667 - 17,000
= $10,667
Lease payable will drop to:
= Lease balance - Principal component
= 170,000 - 10,667
= $159,333
Year 2:
Interest = 10% * 159,333
= $15,933.30
Principal component = 27,667 - 15,933.30
= $11,733.70
Lease payable balance will drop to:
= 159,333 -11,733.70
= $147,599.30
True or false: Interest expense and income tax expense are considered general and administrative expenses and, therefore, are included on the general and administrative expense budget. True false question. True False
Answer: True
Explanation:
Interest expense and income tax expenses generally are stand-alone expenses but they fall under general and administrative expenses required to run the business.
Interest expense is charged on debt that was taken to run the company so will be an admin expense and tax is part of the expenses that a company has to take care of in order to run the company so it is an admin expense as well.

15 = 1.5 + Average Variable Cost
Average Variable Cost =15 - 1.5 = 13.50
If the U.S. economy is producing at a level that is substantially less than potential GDP and the government's budget deficits are increasing aggregate demand, then ____________________________ is not much of a danger.
Answer:
an inflationary increase in the price level.
Explanation:
Monetary policy can be defined as the actions (macroeconomic policies) adopted and undertaken by the central bank of a particular country to control the money supply and interest rates so as to boost or enhance economic growth. The central bank uses monetary policies to manage inflation, economic growth through long-term interest rates and level of unemployment in a country.
In order to boost economic growth, a monetary policy is implemented to increase money supply (liquidity). Also, it is used to prevent inflation by reducing money supply.
An inflationary gap, also referred to as an expansionary gap in economics, is typically used for measuring the difference between the gross domestic product (GDP) and the current level of Real Gross Domestic Products that exists when a country's economy is gauged at a full employment rate. Consequently, this situation causes the price of goods and services to go up with a low income level among the people living in the country.
A budget deficit is the amount by which spending exceeds income.
All other factors held constant or all things being equal (ceteris paribus), an increase in government's budget deficit drives the interest rate up.
Generally, when there's a deficit in government budget, they resort to issuing more bonds or borrowing money from creditors. These creditors are likely to be sceptical about the government's ability to repay the debt and as such would increase the interest rate.
Hence, an inflationary increase in the price level of goods and services is not much of a danger if the U.S. economy is producing at a level that is substantially less than potential gross domestic product (GDP) and the aggregate demand is being increased by government's budget deficits.

e. $327,539
Answer:
The correct option is 306,102 (i.e. the second option in the attached pdf file.). That is, the margin of safety is $306,102.
Explanation:
Note: This question contains some errors and its data are merged together. The original sorted question is therefor provided before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete sorted question.
The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:
Actual dollar sales = $1,020,000
Variable cost = Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable factory overhead + Variable marketing costs = $278,800 + $240,100 + $150,100 + $50,100 = $719,100
Contribution margin = Actual dollar Sales - Variable cost = $1,020,000 - $719,100 = $300,900
Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Actual dollar sales = $300,900 / $1,020,000 = 0.295, or 29.50%
Fixed Cost = Fixed factory overhead + Fixed marketing costs = $100,500 + $110,100 = $210,600
Breakeven point in dollar dales = Fixed Cost / Contribution margin ratio = $210,600 / 29.50% = $713,898
Margin of safety = Actual dollar sales - Breakeven point in dollar dales = $1,020,000 - $713,898 = $306,102
From the attached pdf file, the correct option is 306,102 (i.e. the second option in the attached pdf file.). That is, the margin of safety is $306,102.
On December 31, 2020, Brisbane Company had 100,000 shares of common stock outstanding and 32,000 shares of 7%, $50 par, cumulative preferred stock outstanding. On February 28, 2021, Brisbane purchased 26,000 shares of common stock on the open market as treasury stock paying $42 per share. Brisbane sold 6,200 treasury shares on September 30, 2021, for $47 per share. Net income for 2021 was $182,905. Also outstanding during the year were fully vested incentive stock options giving key officers the option to buy 52,000 common shares at $42. The market price of the common shares averaged $52 during 2021.
Required:
Compute Brisbane's basic and diluted earnings per share for 2021. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the basic and diluted earning per share is given below:
For Basic EPS
Given that
Income for 2016 = 182,905
Income after 7% dividend on cumulatie peference share is
= 182,905 - ( 7% × 1,600,000)
= $ 70,905
And,
Outstanding shares is
= 100,000 - (26,000 × 10 ÷ 12) + ( 6,200 × 3 ÷12 )
= 79,884
So,
Basic earning per share is
= $70,905 ÷ 79,884
= $0.89 per share
For Diluted EPS
Outstanding shares is
= 79,884 + 10,000
= 89,884
So,
Diluted EPS is
= $70,905 ÷ 89,884
= $0.79 per share
Working note
Option to be exercised = 52,000 shares
So,
shares to be bought back with proceeds = (52,000 × 42) ÷ 52 = 42,000 shares
so difference should be of 10,000 shares

Geoffrey is looking for a safe investment for $3,000 he received as a bonus. He is looking for an investment that will also help him deal with the effects of inflation. Which of the following options would you recommend that Geoffrey invest in?
a. Series EE bonds.
b. Series I bonds.
c. Commercial paper.
d. Junk bonds.
Answer:
Hence the correct option is option b. Series I bonds.
Explanation:
Series I bonds are going to be completing a fixed-rate Plus and adjustable-rate which can be adjusted with the inflation so if he's trying to find investment into a bond he should be choosing with series I Bonds, which can be adjusted with inflation effect.
The correct option is b) Series I bonds.
Series I bonds will have a fixed interest rate plus an interest on the outstanding that will be adjusted without inflation, thus if he is searching for a bond to participate in, he will have to go with series I bonds, which will then be modified with inflation.
All of the other possibilities are untrue.
Alternative (B) Series I bonds is the correct answer.

b. 1472.01
c. 2051.28
d. 4116.11
e. None of the above
Answer:
e. None of the above
Explanation:
Annual demand, D = 600 units
Ordering cost, S = $400
Holding cost, H = $50
Economic order quantity without stock-out = SQRT(2*D*S/H)
Economic order quantity without stock-out = SQRT(2*600*400/50)
Economic order quantity without stock-out = 98
Total annual ordering cost = (D/Q)*S + (Q/2)*H
Total annual ordering cost = (600/98)*$400 + (98/2)*$50
Total annual ordering cost = $2,448.97 + $2,450
Total annual ordering cost = $4,898.97

In a board of directors election for five directors and straight voting, a majority group of shareholders will elect a. four directors. b. five directors. c. four or five depending on how the cumulative voters vote. d. the same proportional share of directors as their ownership share.
Answer: b. five directors
Explanation:
Straight voting refers to a voting convention where shareholders are allowed to cast a single vote towards each director seat for each share they own. This is in contrast to cumulative voting where a single shareholder can decide to cast all their votes to one director.
In such a convention therefore, the majority will elect all five seats because the majority that voted for each seat will decide which director will be elected.

How large will Jesse's monthly car loan payment be if he can get a -year ( equal monthly payments) car loan from the university's credit union at an APR of percent compounded monthly?
Answer:
Monthly car loan payment = $414 (Approx.)
Explanation:
Missing information;
Amount borrow = $29,000
NUmber of payment = 7 year x 12 = 84
Rate = 5.3% yearly = 0.053 / 12 monthly
Find:
Monthly car loan payment
Computation:
PV = $29,000
N = 84
r = 0.053/12
FV = 0
PV = (PMT/r)[1 – 1/(1 + r)ⁿ] + FV/(1 + r)ⁿ
29,000 = [PMT/(0.053/12)][1 – 1/(1 + 0.053/12)^84] + 0
PMT = 413.98
Monthly car loan payment = $414 (Approx.)
To assign overhead costs to each product, the company:_____.
a. multiplies the activity-based overhead rates per cost driver by the number of cost drivers expected to be used per product.
b. assigns the cost of each activity cost pool in total to one product line.
c. multiplies the overhead rate by the number of direct labor hours used on each product.
d. multiplies the rate of cost drivers per estimated cost for the cost pool by the estimated cost for each cost pool.
Answer:
a. multiplies the activity-based overhead rates per cost driver by the number of cost drivers expected to be used per product.
Explanation:
Costing is the measurement of the cost of production of goods and services by assessing the fixed costs and variable costs associated with each step of production.
Generally, an activity-based costing uses multiple cost pools such as manufacturing cost or customer services and multiple cost drivers such as direct labor hours worked, number of changes used in engineering department, etc.
Cost pool is simply the amount of money spent by a firm on a particular activity.
Hence, to assign overhead costs to each product, the company multiplies the activity-based overhead rates per cost driver by the number of cost drivers expected to be used per product.
In activity-based costing, the activity rate for an activity cost pool is calculated by using the following formula;
Activity rate = total overhead cost/activity for the activity cost pool.
