Answer:
$40,700
Explanation:
To determine Taio's cost of going to college you need to find the economic cost that involves all the costs that you need to cover to receive a benefit and the opportunity costs that refer to what you would have received if you had chosen a different alternative. According to this, Taio's cost is equal to all the acounting costs related to going to college plus the opportunity costs that are the benefits lost from the other option which was not going to college.
Accounting costs= $22,000+$11,000+$1,700= $34,700
Opportunity costs= $12,000-$6,000= $6,000
Taio's cost of going to college is equal to the acount costs plus the opportunity costs:
$34,700+$6,000= $40,700
The following items are reported on a company's balance sheet: Cash $510,000 Marketable securities 398,500 Accounts receivable (net) 338,900 Inventory 346,500 Accounts payable 693,000 Determine (a) the current ratio and (b) the quick ratio. Round to one decimal place. a. Current ratio b. Quick ratio
Answer:
Current ratio= 2.3
Quick ratio= 1.8
Explanation:
Cash=$510,000
Marketable securities= $398,000
Account receivables= $338,900
Inventory= $346,000
Account payable = $693,000
Curent ratio= current assets/current liability
Current assets= cash+ marketable securities+ Account receivables+inventory
Current liability= Account payable
($510,000+$398,000+$338,900+$346,000)/$693,000
= $1,592,900/$693,000
= 2.29
Current ratio = 2.3 ( to 1 decimal place)
ii) Quick ratio= ( cash+ marketable securities+ Account receivable)/Current liability
=$510,000+$398,000+$338,900/$693,000
= $1,246,900/$693,000
= 1.79.
Quick ratio = 1.8 ( to 1 decimal place)
Answer: Current ratio 2.3
Quick ratio 1.8
Explanation:
Given Data:
Cash = $510,000
Marketable securities = $398,500
Account receivable ( net) = $338,900
Inventory = $346,500
Accounts payable = $693,000
( a.) The current ratio : this helps to determine the relationship between current assets and current liabilities
= current assets / current liabilities
Currents assets = ( cash + marketable securities + inventory + account receivable )
= $( 510,000 + 398,500 + 338,900 + 346,500)
= $1,593,900
Current liabilities = $693,000
Current ratio = $1,593,900 / $693,000
= 2.3
(b) Quick ratio is the ratio of quick asset against current liabilities.
Quick assets ( cash + marketable securities + accounts receivable)
= $( 510,000 + 398,500 + 338,900)
= $1,247,400
Quick ratio = $1,247,400 / $693,000
= 1.8

Describe a problem you face in your everyday life or at work. How might you use hypothesis testing to find a solution or improvement to that problem? Would you conduct a one-sample or two-sample test? What would be your null and alternative hypotheses?
Answer:
The common problem i encounter mostly is the statistical modelling problem.
In this scenario we choose best combination of independent variables for the hypothesis testing. the independent variable shows the significant effect on dependent variable so we keep it in modelling.
My null hypothesis would be that there is no significant effect of independent variable on dependent variable. for my alternative hypothesis there exist is significant effect of independent variable on dependent variable.
Explanation:
The common problem I face daily is the statistical modelling problem which is the selection of relevant independent variable for prediction modelling.
In this example to select the best combination of independent variables we use hypothesis testing. if the independent variable has significant effect on dependent variable then the independent variable shows the significant effect on dependent variable so we keep it in modelling. In this way the model gets improved.
Since there are always two variables or two categories. hence it has a two sample test.
The Hypothesis can be shown below:
Null hypothesis:
H0: There is no significant effect of independent variable on dependent variable.
Alternative hypothesis:
Ha: There is significant effect of independent variable on dependent variable.

On January 1, Year 1, the Accounts Receivable balance was $21,000 and the balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts was $1,900. On January 15, Year 1, an $530 uncollectible account was written-off. What is the net realizable value of accounts receivable immediately after the write-off
Answer:
$19,100
Explanation:
Accounts receivable represents amount owed to a business by its customers for products or services offered. It is payable in the future.
When collection is uncertain the amount is put in doubtful account.
If an amount is confirmed to be uncollectible it is written off as a loss
In this scenario we are calculating realisable value after write-off
Account receivable after write-off = Account receivable balance - Uncollectible amount
Account receivable after write-off= 21,000 - 530= $20,470
Allowance balance after write-off= Doubtful account - Uncollectible account
Allowance balance after write-off= 1,900 - 530 = $1,370
Net realisable value after write-off= 20,470 - 1,370= $19,100
When a central bank increases bank reserves by $1, the money supply rises by more than $1. The amount of extra money created when the central bank increases bank reserves by $1 is called the money multiplier.
a. The money multiplier is generally greater than 1 because:
1. in a fractional-reserve banking system, each dollar bill is spent more than once (velocity is larger than 1), thereby increasing the money supply by more than $1.
2. in a fractional-reserve banking system, each dollar of reserves can support more than one dollar of deposits, thereby increasing the money supply by more than $1.
3. in a 100 percent reserve banking system, each dollar of reserves supports exactly one hundred dollars of deposits, thereby increasing the money supply by $100.
4. when a central bank increases bank reserves by $1, deposits are automatically increased by $1 as well, thereby increasing the money supply by $2.
The money multiplier is equal to 1 when:
1. reserves < deposits.
2. reserves > deposits.
3. reserves = deposits.
b. The initial money supply is $1,500, of which $700 is currency held by the public. The desired reserve-deposit ratio is 0.1. Calculate the increase in the money supply associated with increases in bank reserves of $10. What is the money multiplier in this economy? Assume that individuals do not change their currency holdings.
c. A general rule for calculating the money multiplier is:
1. 1/(deposit ratio-desired reserve).
2. 1/deposit ratio.
3. 1/desired reserve.
4. 1/(desired reserve-deposit ratio).
d. Suppose the Fed wanted to reduce the money multiplier, perhaps because it believes that change would give it more precise control over the money supply. In order to achieve its goal, the Fed would:
1. decrease the ratio of reserves to deposits.
2. increase reserve requirements.
3. increase the money supply.
4. decrease reserve requirements.
Answer: a. 2. in a fractional-reserve banking system, each dollar of reserves can support more than one dollar of deposits, thereby increasing the money supply by more than $1.
3. reserves = deposits.
b. $900.
Multiplier is 10
c. 4. 1/(desired reserve-deposit ratio).
d. 2. increase reserve requirements.
Explanation:
a. In fractional-reserve banking system, $1 of deposits can be used to create more than $1 in money supply as the money is continuously deposited into other bank accounts. This enables the money to keep increasing until it theoretically reaches a certain amount determined by the money Multiplier.
If the money Multiplier is equal to 1 which is a very rare occasion, this means that the amount required in reserves is equal to the deposits. $1 of deposits will yield a $1 in money supply increase.
b. The desired reserve-deposit ratio is 0.1. For every $1, 0.1 goes to reserves.
If bank reserves have increased by $10 then that means that deposits are,
0.1x = 10
x = $100
Deposits not in reserve are,
= 0.9 * 100
= $90
The money Multiplier can be calculated with the formula,
= 1/(desired reserve-deposit ratio)
= 1/0.1
= 10
Increase in money supply is therefore,
= $90 * 10
= $900
c. As earlier mentioned, option D is the general rule for calculating the money Multiplier.
= 1/(desired reserve-deposit ratio)
d. If the Fed increases the reserve requirement, the effect would be a reduction in the money supply because the denominator is now higher.
For instance, reserve requirement of 0.1 vs 0.2.
At 0.1, the money supply would be,
= 1/0.1
= 10
At 0.2, the money supply would be,
= 1/0.2
= 5
The higher the reserve requirement, the lower the Multiplier.
Felinas Inc. produces floor mats for cars and trucks. The owner, Kenneth Felinas, asked you to assist him in estimating his maintenance costs. Together, Mr. Felinas and you determined that the single best cost driver for maintenance costs was machine hours. Below are data from the previous fiscal year for maintenance expense and machine hours:

a. $296.
b. $224.
c. $460.
d. $162.
e. $552.
Answer:
Fixed costs= 510
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Month Maintenance Expense Machine Hours
1 $ 3,480 2,380
2 3,670 2,480
3 3,850 2,580
4 3,980 2,610

10 3,120 2,260
11 2,960 1,650
12 3,240 2,250
To calculate the fixed costs, we need to use the following formulas:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (4,400 - 2,960) / (2,620 - 1,650)
Variable cost per unit= $1.484536
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 4,400 - (1.484536*2,620)
Fixed costs= $510
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 2,960 - (1.484536*1,650)
Fixed costs= 510
Jones, CPA, is auditing the financial statements of XYZ Retailing, Inc. What assurance does Jones provide that direct effect noncompliance that is material to XYZ’s financial statements and noncompliance that has a material but indirect effect on the financial statements will be detected?
A. Direct effect noncompliance: Reasonable; indirect effect noncompliance: none.
B. Direct effect noncompliance: Reasonable; indirect effect noncompliance: reasonable.
C. Direct effect noncompliance: Limited; indirect effect noncompliance: none.
D. Direct effect noncompliance: Limited; indirect effect noncompliance: reasonable.
Answer:
Direct effect noncompliance: Reasonable; indirect effect noncompliance: none.
Explanation:
Direct-effect noncompliance is a noncompiance that has a direct and material effects on financial statement amounts. Examples of direct-effect noncompliance include the violations of tax laws.
Indirect-effect noncompliance is a violation of laws that do not have direct relationships with the financial statements. Example of indirect-effect noncompliance include violations that have to do with environmental protection, occupational health and safety, etc.
Reasonable assurance can be described as a high level of assurance that is not an absolute one but it is however related to material misstatements.
Therefore, an assurance that Jones provide that direct effect noncompliance that is material to XYZ’s financial statements and noncompliance that has a material but indirect effect on the financial statements will be detected is direct effect noncompliance: Reasonable; indirect effect noncompliance: none.

Explanation:
Brazil is almost self-sufficient in ethanol. Brazilian ethanol is made from sugar and costs 83cents per gallon whereas U.S. ethanol, made from corn, costs $1.14 per gallon. The United States has set a zero quota on imports of ethanol, so it does not import ethanol. Source: The New York Times, April 12, 2006 Which country has a comparative advantage in producing ethanol? Explain why both the United States and Brazil can gain from specialization and trade.
Answer:
Brazil has comparative advantage in Ethanol.
Both US & Ethanol can gain from trade, if they specialise in their good of comparative advantage & import the other at lower opportunity cost.
Explanation:
Comparative advantage is when an economy can produce a good with lesser opportunity cost than other economy.
Brazil can produce ethanol at lower opportunity cost, as it uses lesser resources to produce Ethanol, compared to US.
So, Brazil has comparative advantage in producing ethanol. Both US & Brazil can gain from specialisation : As, US can get more ethanol at lesser than domestic opportunity cost. And, Brazil can also gain from trade by importing the good in which US has better opportunity cost & comparative advantage, in exchange of exported ethanol. It would imply Brazil would get more of the other good at lesser than domestic opportunity cost.
At the current year-end, Simply Company found that its overhead was underapplied by $2,500, and this amount was not considered material. Based on this information, Simply should: Multiple Choice Close the $2,500 to Cost of Goods Sold. Close the $2,500 to Finished Goods Inventory. Do nothing about the $2,500, since it is not material, and it is likely that overhead will be overapplied by the same amount next year. Carry the $2,500 to the income statement as "Other Expense". Carry the $2,500 to the next period.
Answer:
Close the $2,500 to Cost of Goods Sold
Explanation:
The under applied overhead is added to the Cost of Goods Sold amount.
The same amount would be debited to the cost of goods sold and the manufacturing overhead would be credited with the same amount that is $ 2500.
Under applied overhead means that the overhead actually incurred is more than the overhead planned of to be incurred. So we add back the amount by which it is less.

g For a period during which the quantity of inventory at the end was smaller than that at the beginning, income from operations reported under variable costing will be smaller than income from operations reported under absorption costing. Group of answer choices False True
Answer: True
Explanation:
Variable costing is a method which is used to assign the variable costs to the inventory. In this approach, all the overhead costs will be charged to expense during the period that they were incurred, while the direct materials and the variable overhead costs will be assigned to the inventory.
In this scenario, for a period whereby the quantity of inventory at the end was smaller than the quantity of inventory at the beginning, the income from operations that is reported under the variable costing will be smaller than the income from the operations that is reported under absorption costing. This is because the beginning inventory inventory has been released at a rate that is higher at than the ending inventory thereby making the income under the absorption costing to be smaller.
Suppose that the government implements expansionary fiscal policy that raises aggregate demand, but the policy is unanticipated. According to new classical theory, in the short run the price level would ____________ and Real GDP would ______________. In the long run, new classical theory would predict that the price level would ______________ compared to its original long-run equilibrium level and that Real GDP would ____________.
Answer:
Rise;rise;rise;remain unchanged.
Explanation:
The new classical theory also known as the neoclassical economic theory is one that repudiates and tends to restructure the John M. Keynes theory of macroeconomics, popularly referred to as the Keynesian Macroeconomics theory.
The new classical theory argues that efficient demand and supply is the most important feature or key behind the level of output, pricing, and consumption of goods and services by the people at a specific period of time in a country. Also, the new classical theory assumes that the wages of the employees in a country is flexible in contrast to the Keynesian macroeconomic theory.
Suppose that the government implements expansionary fiscal policy that raises aggregate demand, but the policy is unanticipated. According to new classical theory, in the short run the price level would rise and Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) would rise. In the long run, new classical theory would predict that the price level would rise compared to its original long-run equilibrium level and that Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) would remain unchanged.
Exercise 11-6 Net present value LO P3 A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $520,000 and have a useful life of six years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $150,000 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $10,000. A machine costs $380,000, has a $20,000 salvage value, is expected to last eight years, and will generate an after-tax income of $60,000 per year after straight-line depreciation. Assume the company requires a 10% rate of return on its investments. Compute the net present value of each potential investment. (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
Answer:
NPV of investment 1: $509,131
NPV of investment 2: $269,513
Explanation:
initial investment -$520,000
6 year useful life, depreciation per year = ($520,000 - $10,000) / 6 = $85,000
free cash flow per year = $150,000 + $85,000 = $235,000
free cash flow last year = $235,00 + $10,000 = $245,000
NPV = -$520,000 + $235,000/1.1 + $235,000/1.1² + $235,000/1.1³ + $235,000/1.1⁴ + $235,000/1.1⁵ + $245,000/1.1⁶ = -$520,000 + $213,636 + $194,215 + $176,559 + $160,508 + $145,917 + $138,296 = $509,131
initial investment -$380,000
8 year useful life, depreciation per year = ($380,000 - $20,000) / 6 = $60,000
free cash flow per year = $60,000 + $60,000 = $120,000
free cash flow last year = $120,00 + $20,000 = $140,000
NPV = -$380,000 + $120,000/1.1 + $120,000/1.1² + $120,000/1.1³ + $120,000/1.1⁴ + $120,000/1.1⁵ + $120,000/1.1⁶ + $120,000/1.1⁷ + $140,000/1.1⁸= -$380,000 + $109,091 + $99,174 + $90,158 + $81,962 + $74,501 + $67,737 + $61,579 + $65,311 = $269,513
Describe other options teachers and their union have in resolving the impasse before opting for a strike? For each point illustrate your discussion with examples from Pacific island countries (PICs)
Answer: The other options include; dialogue; notification; peaceful protest and ultimatum.
Explanation: 1) Dialogue: Dialogue refers to a discussion between the two opposing parties. The teachers or their union may opt for a round table discussion to negotiate on the issue and its possible resolution.
2) Peaceful protest: A protest is an expression of strong opposition or disapproval of something. This is an option that can be exercised in a peaceful way by demonstration the grievance.
3) Notification or Ultimatum: Notification involves an information on when an option either expires or is to be exercised while an ultimatum is a demand that can be followed up with penalty or threat. This is also an option used by Pacific Island Countries in resolving the impasse before resulting to strike.
Assume that Corn Co. sold 7,500 units of Product A and 2,500 units of Product B during the past year. The unit contribution margins for Products A and B are $33 and $56, respectively. Corn has fixed costs of $328,000. The break-even point in units is
Answer:
Break-even point (units)= 8,464 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Assume that Corn Co. sold 7,500 units of Product A and 2,500 units of Product B during the past year. The unit contribution margins for Products A and B are $33 and $56, respectively. Corn has fixed costs of $328,000.
First, we need to calculate the proportion of sales:
Product A= 7,500/10,000= 0.75
Product B= 2,500/10,000= 0.25
Now, using the following formula, we can determine the break-even point in units:
Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin
Break-even point (units)= 328,000/ (0.75*33 + 0.25*56)
Break-even point (units)= 328,000/38.75
Break-even point (units)= 8,464 units
Fremont Computer Company has been purchasing carrying cases for its portable computers at a purchase price of $89 per unit. The company, which is currently operating below full capacity, charges factory overhead to production at the rate of 60% of direct labor cost. The unit costs to produce comparable carrying cases are expected to be as follows:
Direct materials $16
Direct labor 20
Factory overhead (25% of direct labor) 5
Total cost per unit $41
If Fremont Computer Company manufactures the carrying cases, fixed factory overhead costs will not increase and variable factory overhead costs associated with the cases are expected to be 5% of the direct labor costs.
Required:
a. Prepare a differential analysis dated September 30 to determine whether the company should make (Alternative 1) or buy (Alternative 2) the carrying case.
b. Assuming there were no better alternative uses for the spare capacity, it would ______________ to manufacture the carrying cases. Fixed factory overhead is________to this decision.
Answer:
A.Total cost 41 93 (52)
B. It would be much better to manufacture the carrying cases .
While Fixed factory overhead is less important to this decision.
Explanation:
Fremont Computer Company Differential Analysis
Make Alternative 1: Buy Alternative 2:
Differential effect on net income
Alternative 1 : Alternative 2: Differential effect
Purchase Price - 89 (89)
Direct material 16 - 16
Direct labor 20 - 20
Variable 1 - 1
manufacture overhead (20×5%)
Fixed (5-1) 4 4 -
manufacture overhead
Total cost 41 93 (52)
The Company should choose Alternative 1
which is Make carrying case
B. It would be much better to manufacture the carrying cases.
While Fixed factory overhead is less important to this decision.
Therefore in make or buy decision the selling price of the product will be less important because the selling price was not provided which means it does not have effect on the decision of buy or make.

According to WSJ article, companies like Apple, Deere, and Walt Disney recently issued new bonds on the market, totaling $27 billion offering on a single day on Sep. 3. What explains such an increased activity in a corporate bond market
Answer: Fall in Benchmark Interest Rates.
Explanation:
This activity was caused by a Refinancing Drive. Refinancing is when entities get a new loan with a lower interest rate and pay off the older loan with a higher interest rate so that they can pay at the lower rate.
Bond interest rates are usually fixed so when interest rates in a country fall, bond holders don't benefit from that. One option they have to take advantage of that is to go on a Refinancing Drive and issue new bonds at those lower rates and then pay off the older ones.
That is what Apple, Deere, and Walt Disney have done.

Variable costs as a percentage of sales for Lemon Inc. are 62%, current sales are $563,000, and fixed costs are $189,000. How much will operating income change if sales increase by $39,200
Answer:
Effect on income= $14,896 increase
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable costs= 62% of sales
Current sales are $563,000
Fixed costs are $189,000.
Sales increase by $39,200.
To calculate the effect on income, we need to use the following formula:
Effect on income= sales increase*contribution margin ratio
Effect on income= 39,200*(1 - 0.62)
Effect on income= $14,896 increase
Prove:
Actual income= 563,200*0.38 - 189,000= 25,016
New income= 602,400*0.38 - 189,000= 39,912
Difference= $14,896 increase
On April 17, 2021, the Loadstone Mining Company purchased the rights to a coal mine. The purchase price plus additional costs necessary to prepare the mine for extraction of the coal totaled $4,950,000. The company expects to extract 990,000 tons of coal during a four-year period. During 2021, 249,000 tons were extracted and sold immediately.Required:
1. Calculate depletion for 2021.
2. Is depletion considered part of the product cost and included in the cost of inventory?
Answer:
1. Depletion for 2021 will be derived if the "tons which were extracted and sold immediately" is divided by "the Depletion per ton"
Depletion for 2021 = Extracted and sold tons in 2021 / depletion per ton
Depletion for 2021 = 249,000 tons * $5 per tons
Depletion for 2021 = $1,245,000
Where as the depletion per ton is be derived when the purchase price plus additional costs necessary is divided extract of tons of coals during the 4 year period.
Depletion per ton = $4,950,000 / 990000
Depletion per ton = $5 per ton
2. Depletion is not considered as part of product cost. It is shown as expense on income statement and reduced from the value of natural resource. So it is equivalent to depreciation of assets.
The inventory data for an item for November are: Nov. 01 Inventory 16 units at $22 04 Sale 9 units 10 Purchase 29 units at $23 17 Sale 17 units 30 Purchase 24 units at $24 Using a perpetual system, what is the cost of merchandise sold for November if the company uses LIFO? a.$1,013 b.$743 c.$589 d.$582
Answer:
Cost of goods sold $ 589
Explanation:
Under the LIFO inventory system units of inventory are priced using the price of the most recent batch purchased and this continues in turn.
The total value of purchases = (16 × $22) + ( 29 × $2) + (24 × $24)= $1,595
The cost of goods sold can worked out as follows:
Nov 4th - 9 × $22 = 198
Nov 17th - 17× $23 = 391
Cost of goods sold = (198+ 391 )=$ 589
Cost of goods sold $ 589

Which type of investment offers both capital gains and interest income
Answer:
Stocks is the type of investments that offers both capital gains and interest income.
Question:
Compare the capital gains from investing in the three stocks with the interest income on a one-year CD. Which would have been a more profitable investment—the stocks or a one-year CD? Explain your reasoning.
Answer:
The one-year CD rate during the past year ranged from 1 percent to 1.3 percent. This rate of return is much lower than the returns on the J C Penney and Apple stocks. Therefore, these two stocks would have been better investment options than a one-year CD. However, the CD would be a better investment than the Ford Motor Company stock, which gave a negative return over the past year.

Denominator hours for May 15,000 Actual hours worked during May 14,000 Standard hours allowed for May 12,000 Flexible budget fixed overhead cost $45,000 Actual fixed overhead costs for May $48,000 Danske Company had total underapplied overhead of $15,000. Additional information is as follows: Variable Overhead: Applied based on standard direct labor hours allowed $42,000 Budgeted based on standard direct labor hours 38,000 Fixed Overhead: Applied based on standard direct labor hours allowed $30,000 Budgeted based on standard direct labor hours 27,000 What is the actual total overhead for the period?
Answer:
$87,000
Explanation:
As per given data
Actual hours = 15,000 hours
Standard hours = 14,000 hours
Standard hours allowed = 12,000 hours
Flexible budget fixed overhead cost = $45,000
Actual fixed overhead costs = $48,000
Underapplied overhead = $15,000
Variable Overhead:
Applied based on standard direct labor hours allowed = $42,000
Budgeted based on standard direct labor hours = 38,000 hours
Fixed Overhead:
Applied based on standard direct labor hours allowed = $30,000
Budgeted based on standard direct labor hours = 27,000 hours
Total Overhead is the sum of all the variable and fixed overheads applied to the products and under / over applied overheads.
Applied overheads are the amount of overheads applied using actual activity and standard rate.
Actual Overheads = Applied variable overheads + Applied fixed overheads + under applied overheads
Placing values in the formula
Actual Overheads = $42,000 + $30,000 + $15,000
Actual Overheads = $87,000
