Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. It is an input problem (time).

2. Bob's opportunity cost of producing 1 pizza:

= 6 (12/2) burgers that it could have produced using 12 minutes it used to produce 1 pizza.

3. Frank's opportunity cost of producing 1 burger:

= 0.25 (3.75/15) pizzas that it could have produced using 3.75 minutes to produce 1 burger.

4. Bob's opportunity cost of producing 1 burger:

= 0.17 (2/12) pizzas that it could have produced using 2 minutes to produce 1 burger.

5. Frank's opportunity cost of producing 1 pizza:

= 4 burgers (15/3.75) that it could have produced using 15 minutes to produce 1 pizza.

6. Bob has the absolute advantage in producing burgers.  It produces 30 burgers in 1 hour than Frank.

7. Bob has the absolute advantage in producing pizzas.  It produces 5 pizzas in 1 hour than Frank.

8. Bob has the comparative advantage in producing burgers.  It uses 2 minutes to produce 1 burger instead of Frank's 3.75 minutes.

9. Bob has the comparative advantage in producing pizzas.  It uses 12 minutes to produce 1 pizza instead of Frank's 15 minutes.

10.  The acceptable terms of trade would be for Bob to devote 2 hours in producing 60 burgers and selling to Frank while Frank produces 8 pizzas using 2 hours and selling to Bob.  But, since Bob has absolute and comparable advantage over Frank in the production of the two items, it seems that Frank should allow Bob to produce them, while it devotes its hours in producing another product or service where it has comparative advantage.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Units produced per hour

                       Burgers    Pizzas

Bob                      30           5

Procedure details described below:

Explanation:

Opened a business bank account for Jones, Inc., with an initial deposit of $45,000 in exchange for common stock.

The cash is an asset for the company And Jones Is the Owner thus, asset and equity increase by 45,000

Paid rent on the office building for the month, $2,000.

The rent is an expense is an incurred cost to continue the operations of the business It decreases the equity and asset (cash used to pay the rent)

Received cash for fees earned of $5,000.

The fees are revenue from the business operations this is a realized gain, therefore, increases equity. Also, Assets increase as cash is an asset.

Purchased equipment, $7,000.

There is no change in the quantities but, the composition of the asset did change. Cash decrease while equipment increase.

Borrowed $20,000 by issuing a note payable.

The note payable is a future obligation to pay. It is a liability for the company assumed in exchange for an asset (cash)

Paid salaries for the month, $1,000.

Like rent, this is an incurred cost(expense) It decreases Equity also, assets as we use cash to pay it.

Received cash for fees earned of $8,000.

Exactly like the previous time, a realized gain generates an increase in equity and assets.

Paid dividends, $3,000.

The dividends are paid to the company's owners thus, the cash leaves the company into the owner's pocket. Both, assets and equity decrease (as there are fewer assets available for the owners to take)

Paid interest on the note, $100.

The interest also is an incurred cost thus, like salaries and rent expense we decrease equity and assets.

Gibson Company makes a product that sells for $33 per unit. The company pays $24 per unit for the variable costs of the product and incurs annual fixed costs of $84,600. Gibson expects to sell 21,600 units of product. Required Determine Gibson’s margin of safety expressed as a percentage.

Answers

Answer:

Margin of safety ratio= 0.5648= 56.48%

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $33

Unitary variable cost= $24

Fixed costs= $84,600

Units sold= 21,600

First, we need to calculate the break-even point in units:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 84,600 / (33 - 24)

Break-even point in units= 9,400 units

Now, the margin of safety:

Margin of safety ratio= (current sales level - break-even point)/current sales level

Margin of safety ratio= (21,600 - 9,400)/21,600

Margin of safety ratio= 0.5648= 56.48%

Stephan is the plaintiff in a negligence action against Viola. The jury determines that Stephan has suffered $250,000 in damages, but that he is 20% responsible for his own injuries. Under comparative negligence, how much money would Viola have to pay Stephan in damages? What if the jury determines that Stephan is 60% responsible? Explain the different results under pure and mixed comparative negligence rules.

Answers

Answer:

a. Under comparative negligence, the amount Viola have to pay Stephan in damages is $200,000.

b(i). Under pure comparative negligence, the amount Viola have to pay Stephan in damages is $100,000.

b(ii). Under mixed comparative negligence, the amount Viola have to pay Stephan in damages can be $100,000 or $0.

Explanation:

a. The jury determines that Stephan has suffered $250,000 in damages, but that he is 20% responsible for his own injuries. Under comparative negligence, how much money would Viola have to pay Stephan in damages?

Under a comparative negligence, the amount of damages that the plaintiff will receive is reduced to the percentage of fault of the defendant.

Based on this, the amount Viola have to pay Stephan in damages is 80% (i.e. 100% - 20%) of $250,000. Therefore, we have:

Amount Viola have to pay Stephan in damages = 80% * $250,000 = $200,000

b. What if the jury determines that Stephan is 60% responsible? Explain the different results under pure and mixed comparative negligence rules.

b(i) Pure Comparative Negligence is a rule that gives the plaintiff the opportunity to recover damages that is exactly equal to the percentage of fault of the defendant whether or not the fault of the plaintiff is greater than the fault of the defendant.

Under pure comparative negligence rule, the amount Viola have to pay Stephan in damages is therefore 40% (i.e. 100% - 40%) of $250,000. Therefore, we have:

Amount Viola have to pay Stephan in damages under pure comparative negligence rule = 40% * $250,000 = $100,000

b(ii) Mixed Comparative Negligence is a rule under which the plaintiff may receive only a percentage of damages of the defendant, or none at all if the percentage of fault of the plaintiff is 50% or more than 50% of the total fault.

Thereforem, if it is determined that the amount Viola have to pay Stephan in damages is exactly equal to the percentage of fault of the defendant,  the amount Viola have to pay Stephan in damages is therefore 40% (i.e. 100% - 40%) of $250,000. Therefore, we have:

Amount Viola have to pay Stephan in damages under pure comparative negligence rule = 40% * $250,000 = $100,000.

However, it it determined the plaintiff should be paid not damages,  Viola have to pay Stephan $0 amoun in damages.

Therefore, under mixed comparative negligence, the amount Viola have to pay Stephan in damages can be $100,000 or $0.

The cash flows have a present value of 0. Compute the value of n, assuming a 10% interest rate compounded annually?Year Cash Flow Amount 0 0 1 1 2 1 --- 1 n-2 1 n-1 1 n 1 n -35.95

Answers

Answer:

The value of n is 16

Explanation:

Note: Organized table is as attached

Present Worth of Cash-inflow = Present worth of Cash Outflow

$1 [(1+i)^n -1 / i(1+i)^N] = $35.95[1 / (1+i)^n]

$1 [ (1+0.10)^n - 1/ 0.10(1+0.10)^n] = $35.95[ 1 / (1+0.10)^n]

$1 [ (1.1)^n - 1 / 0.10(1.1)^n] = $35.95 [1/(1.1)^n]

Let (1.1)n be x

[x-1/x] = [$35.95 * 0.10 / $1] * [1/x]

[x-1/x] = 3.595[1/x]

x - 1 = 3.595

x = 3.595 + 1

x = 4.595

(1.1)^n = 4.595

Take log on both side

nlog (1.1) = log (4.595)

n(0.041392685) = 0.662285515

n = 0.662285515 / 0.041392685

n = 16.000062

n = 16

Thus, the value of n is 16

Bloomington Brewery produces beer and ale. Beer sells for $5 per barrel, and ale sells for $2 per barrel. Producing a barrel of beer requires 5 lb of corn and 2 lb of hops. Producing a barrel of ale requires 2 lb of corn and 1 lb of hops. 60 lb of corn and 25 lb of hops are available. Formulate an LP that can be used to maximize revenue. Solve the LP graphically.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Let x represent the amount of beer sold and y represent the amount of ale sold. The revenue of selling x barrels of beer is 5x and selling y barrels of ale is 2y hence the total revenue = 5x + 2y. If z represent the maximum revenue then:

z = 5x + 2y

Since 60 lb of corn is available and beer requires 5 lb of corn while ale require 2 lb of corn hence:

5x + 2y ≤ 60

Also, 25 lb of hops is available and beer requires 2 lb of hops while ale require 1 lb of hops hence:

2x + y ≤ 25

Also x > 0 and y > 0

The LP is:

z = 5x + 2y

5x + 2y ≤ 60

2x + y ≤ 25

x > 0 and y > 0

Using geogebra graphing, the maximum revenue is at (0, 30)

Hence:

z = 5x + 2y = 5(0) + 2(30) = 60

The maximum revenue is 60

Wadding Corporation applies manufacturing overhead to products on the basis of standard machine-hours. For the most recent month, the company based its budget on 4,500 machine-hours. Budgeted and actual overhead costs for the month appear below: Original Budget Based on 4,500 Machine-Hours Actual Costs Variable overhead costs: Supplies $ 12,000 $ 12,730 Indirect labor 38,400 38,700 Fixed overhead costs: Supervision 20,600 20,240 Utilities 6,800 6,760 Factory depreciation 7,800 8,110 Total overhead cost $ 85,600 $ 86,540 The company actually worked 4,520 machine-hours during the month. The standard hours allowed for the actual output were 4,510 machine-hours for the month. What was the overall variable overhead efficiency variance for the month

Answers

Answer:

Variable overhead efficiency variance= $112 unfavorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated budget:

4,500 Machine-Hours

Supplies $ 12,000

Indirect labor 38,400

Total= $50,400

The company worked 4,520 machine-hours during the month.

The standard hours allowed for the actual output were 4,510 machine-hours for the month.

First, we need to calculate the predetermined variable overhead rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 50,400/4,500

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $11.2 per machine hour

Now, to calculate the variable overhead efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:

Variable overhead efficiency variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*Standard rate

Variable overhead efficiency variance= (4,510 - 4,520)*11.2

Variable overhead efficiency variance= $112 unfavorable

As winner of a breakfast cereal competition, you can choose one of the following prizes: a. $180,000 at the end of five years. b. $11,400 a year forever. c. $19,000 for each of 10 years. d. $6,500 next year and increasing thereafter by 5% a year forever. Assume that discount rate is 12%. i. (20 pts) Write down the discounted cash flow equation for each option. ii. (10 pts) Decide which prize you should choose and why?

Answers

Answer:

i. Discounted cashflow equations.

a.  $180,000 at the end of five years.

This is a lump sum present value/ discounted cashflow which can be calculated as;

Formula = 180,000 / ( 1 + r)^n

= 180,000/ ( 1 + 12%)^5

= $102,136.83

b. $11,400 a year forever

This is a perpetuity. The present value/ discounted cashflow of a perpetuity is calculated as;

Formula = Amount/rate

= 11,400/12%

= $95,000

c. $19,000 for each of 10 years.

This is an annuity. The formula for calculating the Present value/ discounted cashflow of an annuity is;

[tex]Formula = Annuity * [\frac{( 1 - (1 + i)^{-n} )}{i} ][/tex] where i is interest rate and n is number of periods

[tex]= 19,000 * [\frac{( 1 - (1 + 0.12)^{-10} )}{0.12} ][/tex]

= $107,354.24

d. $6,500 next year and increasing thereafter by 5% a year forever.

This is a growing perpetuity. The present value/ discounted cashflow formula is;

= Amount / ( discount rate - growth rate)

= 6,500 / ( 12% - 5%)

= $92,857.14

ii. Choose $19,000 for each of 10 years as it has the highest present value.

Tuition= $15,000

Room and board= $10,500

Books= $1,500

Let plug in the formula

Qualified higher education expense=$15,000+$10,500+$1500

Qualified higher education expense=$27,000

Therefore how much of the above that is a qualified higher education expense for purposes of his Qualified Tuition Program will be $27,000.

A company has a factory that is designed so that it is most efficient (average unit cost is minimized) when producing 21,200 units of output each month. However, it has an absolute maximum output capability of 26,000 units per month, and can produce as little as 7,000 units per month without corporate headquarters shifting production to another plant. If the factory produces 14,360 units in October, what is the capacity utilization rate in October for this factory

Answers

Answer:

Capacity utilization rate in October for this factory is 67.74%

Explanation:

Units produced in October = 14,360 units

Units production in most efficient way =  21,200 units

Capacity utilization rate in October = 14,360 / 21,200

Capacity utilization rate in October = 0.677359

Capacity utilization rate in October = 67.74%.

Answers

Answer:

Predetermined OH rate is $37.09

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to get the value for predetermined Fixed OH rate.

Predetermined Fixed OH rate = Estimated Fixed overhead / Estimated machine hours

= $2,347,090 / 79,000

= $29.71 per machine hour

Predetermined OH rate = Predetermined Fixed OH rate + Predetermined Variable OH rate

= $29.71 + $7.38

= $37.09

Therefore, the predetermined OH rate is $37.09

Which of the following theorems explains the relationship between interest rates and bond prices? For a given change in interest rates, the prices of higher-coupon bonds will change more drastically than the prices of lower-coupon bonds. For a given change in interest rates, the prices of long-term bonds will change more drastically than the prices of short-term bonds. Bond prices are directly related to interest rate movements. For a given change in interest rates, the prices of short-term bonds will change more drastically than the prices of long-term bonds.

Answers

Answer:

For a given change in interest rates, the prices of long-term bonds will change more drastically than the prices of short-term bonds.

Explanation:

A bond can be defined as a fixed income instrument that firms use as a source of longer-term funding or loans.

The par value of a bond is its face value and it comprises of its total dollar amount as well as its maturity value. Also, the par value of a bond gives the basis on which periodic interest is paid. Thus, a bond is issued at par value when the market rate of interest is the same as the contract rate of interest. This simply means that, a bond would be issued at par (face) value when the bond's stated rated is significantly equal to the effective or market interest rate on the specific date it was issued.

In Economics, bonds could either be issued at discount or premium.

Hence, a bond that is being issued at a discount has its stated rate lower than the market interest rate, on the specific date of issuance. Also, a bond that is being issued at a premium, has its stated rate higher than the market interest rate on the specific date of issuance.

Generally, bond price is inversely proportional to its interest rate, thus, when interest rates are high, bond prices would be low and when interest rates are low, bond prices are high.

The theorem that best explains the relationship between interest rates and bond prices is that for a given change in interest rates, the prices of long-term bonds will change more drastically than the prices of short-term bonds because long-term bondholders are liable to higher rate of interest rate risks than the short-term bondholders.

I-The socialism system is the precursor to feudalism II- The invisible hand doctrine suggests that total economic surplus of society is maximized III- The government tax break given when buying an electric car is an example of indicative planning IV- A statement that involves priorities and value judgments is generally regarded as a normative statement

Answers

Answer: II, III, IV

Explanation:

Of the options, the correct statements are:

II- The invisible hand doctrine suggests that total economic surplus of society is maximized

III- The government tax break given when buying an electric car is an example of indicative planning

IV- A statement that involves priorities and value judgments is generally regarded as a normative statement.

Suppose the following information (in millions of dollars) is available for Limited Brands for a recent year: sales revenue $8,780, net income $153, preferred dividend $0, and weighted-average common shares outstanding 300 million. Compute the earnings per share for Limited Brands.

Answers

Answer:

$0.51 million

Explanation:

Earnings per share is calculated as ;

Net income - preferred dividends/ Weighted average common shares outstanding.

Given that;

Net income = $153 m

Preferred dividends = 0$

Weighted average common shares outstanding = $300 m

Therefore,

Earnings per share = $153 - $0 / $300

= $0.51 million

The statement of cash flows cannot help address questions such as: Select one: a. How is the increase in investments financed? b. What is the source of cash for new plant assets? c. How much cash is generated from or used in operations? d. How much of the company's revenues have been retained as profit? e. Why is cash flow from operations different from income?

Answers

Answer: d. How much of the company's revenues have been retained as profit?

Explanation:

The cash flow statement is chiefly concerned with how much actual cash the company has received vs how much that it has spent and it finds this out placing cash transactions under three sections being the Operating, Investing and Financing activities.

The cashflow statement cannot help answer questions such as how much of revenue will be retained as profit because the profit sometimes is not all cash. The statement that will tell how much is retained as profit will be the Income Statement.

Shire Computer’s predetermined overhead rate is based on direct labor cost. Management estimates the company will incur $728,000 of overhead costs and $560,000 of direct labor cost for the year. During March, Shire began and completed Job 13-56. 1. What is the predetermined overhead rate for the year? 2. Use the information on the following job cost sheet to determine the total cost of the job.

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

We weren't provided with information regarding Job 13-56

To calculate the predetermined overhead rate, we need to use the following formula:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 728,000 / 560,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.3 per direct labor dollar

To allocate overhead, we need to use the following formula:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

What is simple interest?

The calculation of a loan's interest rate can be done quickly and simply using simple interest. The daily rate of interest, the principle, and the number of days between payments are multiplied to determine simple interest.

To calculate simple interest, multiply the daily rate of interest by the principle and the number of days between payments. Consumers who pay their loans off on time or ahead of schedule each month benefit from simple interest.

Although some mortgages employ this calculation approach, this kind of interest typically relates to auto loans or short-term loans.
