Answer:
lower demand leads to higher long-run equilibrium prices
Explanation:
In a decreasing cost industry, as new firms enter the industry due to increase in demand for goods produced by the industry, long run average cost curve declines and this causes the cost of production declines because
Conversely, a decrease in demand for goods produced by the industry, would make firms leave the industry. As a result, the long run average cost curve increases and this leads to a rise in the cost of production
In a declining cost industry, the supply curve is downward sloping. thus, the law of supply does not hold
according to the law of supply, the higher the price, the higher the quantity supplied and the lower the price, the lower the quantity supplied.
Slavery, as a business practice protected by state laws, provided unfair advantage against those employers not using slaves, and thus the economic incentives supported and sustained slavery within its sealed environment.

B. False
The following data relate to direct materials for the month for the Hodge Wax Company: The standard costs for the work done was 5,900 pounds of wax at $9.50 per pound. The actual costs were 6,300 pounds at $9 per pound. What is the direct materials efficiency variance
Answer: $3800 U
Explanation:
The direct material efficiency variance will be calculated as follows:
Direct material efficiency variance = (Standard quantity - Actual quantity) × Standard price of material
= (5900 - 6300) × 9.50
= 400 × 9.50
= $3800 U
Therefore, the direct material efficiency variance is $3800 Unfavorable.

Green Caterpillar Garden Supplies Inc. is considering a one-year project that requires an initial investment of $600,000; however, in raising this capital, Green Caterpillar will incur an additional flotation cost of 2%. At the end of the year, the project is expected to produce a cash inflow of $840,000. The rate of return that Green Caterpillar expects to earn on the project after its flotation costs are taken into account is:________
a. 29.80
b. 22.35
c. 37.25
d. 33.53
Answer:
c. 37.25%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what Caterpillar expects to earn on the project after its flotation costs are taken into account is
First step
Net investment = Additional investment*(1 + Flotation cost rate)
Net investment= $600,000*(1 + 0.02)
Net investment= $612,000
Now let Compute the rate of return (ROR), using this formula
ROR = (Cash inflows – Net investment)/ Net investment
Let plug in the formula
ROR = ($840,000 - $612,000)/ $612,000
ROR = $228,000/ $612,000
ROR=37.25%
Therefore Caterpillar expects to earn on the project after its flotation costs are taken into account is 37.25%.

firm has 2,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding with a market price of $2 per share. It has 2,000 bonds outstanding, each selling for $1,200. The bonds mature in 25 years, have a coupon rate of 10%, and pay coupons annually. The firm's beta is 1.5, the risk-free rate is 5%, and the market risk premium is 7%. The tax rate is 34%. Calculate the WACC.
Answer:
A Firm
The firm's WACC is:
= 12.16%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Common Bonds
Stock
Outstanding shares/bonds 2,000,000 2,000
Market price per unit $2 $1,200
Total market value $4,000,000 $2,400,000
Total value of debt and equity = $6,400,000
Weight 62.5% 37.5% ($2,400/$6,400*100)
Cost of bonds (coupon rate) = 10%
Tax rate = 34%
Firm's beta = 1.5
Risk-free rate = 5%
Market risk premium = 7%
After-tax cost of bonds = 6.6% (1 - 0.34) * 10%
Cost of common stock =
Risk Free Rate + Beta x (Market Return - Risk Free Rate)
= 5% + 1.5 x (7%)
= 5% + 10.5%
= 15.5%
WACC = 15.5% * 62.5% + 6.6% * 37.5%
= 0.096875 + 0.02475
= 0.1216
= 12.16%
The payback method of project analysis: Multiple Choice considers the time value of money. is, generally speaking, the best method of project analysis. may ignore some project cash flows. is biased towards long-term projects over short-term projects.
Answer:
may ignore some project cash flows.
Explanation:
Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows
Payback period = Amount invested / cash flow
for example, if 100,000 is invested in project. the cash flows is 20,000 for the next five years, payback = 100,000 / 20,000 = 5 years
cash flows after year 5 would be ignored
Also, it can be seen that the time value of money is not considered. the cash flows have equal value regardless of when they occur
the best method is the net present value
Notes Receivable differ from Accounts Receivable in that Notes Receivable: Multiple Choice generally charge interest from the day they are signed to the day they are collected. do not have to be created for every new transaction, so they are used more frequently. are generally considered a weaker legal claim. are noncurrent assets.
Answer: generally charge interest from the day they are signed to the day they are collected.
Explanation:
Accounts Receivable show that a customer is owing a certain amount of money for goods that they took on credit. The customer gets to pay back a maximum of the amount of goods they actually bought because no interest is charged.
This changes with the Notes Receivable. These accrue interest from the day they are signed such that the customer will then pay the value of the notes receivable as well as the interest that it accrues on the day it is collected.
Notes Receivables are usually used by customers who are unable to pay off the accounts receivables within a certain period and so opt for a note receivable avenue instead.
If contribution margin is $220000, sales is $400000, and net income is $180000, then variable and fixed expenses are:________
Answer:
Total variable cost= $180,000
Fixed costs= $40,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Contribution margin= $220,000
Sales= $400,000
Net income= $180,000
The contribution margin formula is as follow:
Total Contribution margin= sales - total variable cost
Therefore, we need to isolate the total variable cost and replace the variable with the data:
Total variable cost= sales - total contribution margin
Total variable cost= 400,000 - 220,000
Total variable cost= $180,000
Finally, the fixed costs:
Fixed costs= total contribution margin - net income
Fixed costs= 220,000 - 180,000
Fixed costs= $40,000

Prepare a depreciation schedule for four years using the straight-line method.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $100,000
Salvage value= $25,000
Useful life= 4 years
To calculate the annual depreciation, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (100,000 - 25,000) / 4
Annual depreciation= $18,750
Year 1:
Annual depreciation= 18,750
Accumulated depreciation= 18,750
Book value= 100,000 - 18,750= 81,250
Year 2:
Annual depreciation= 18,750
Accumulated depreciation= 18,750*2= 37,500
Book value= 100,000 - 37,500= 62,500
Year 3:
Annual depreciation= 18,750
Accumulated depreciation= 18,750*3= 56,250
Book value= 100,000 - 56,250= 43,750
Year 4:
Annual depreciation= 18,750
Accumulated depreciation= 18,750*4= 75,000
Book value= 100,000 - 75,000= 25,000

3. The special concept reminded by the phrase "Exchanging Butter Cake for Dates" is:
Trade by barter.
4. The need fulfilled by this business is people's demand for Cake.
The want fulfilled by this business is the organization's supply of dates for its production of cake.
Explanation:
A trade by barter involves the exchange of one good or service by one trading party for another good or service from the coincidental trading party without the use of money or monetary mediums. Trade by barter enables people without money to fulfill their needs. The major problem with trade by barter is that there must be coincidence of wants by the two trading partners. This is not always feasible.

CompuGlobal is an American firm producing computers. CompuGlobal imports computer components from Taiwan and assembles them domestically. Suppose that in the United States, a computer sells for $800 and that 60% of the computer’s value comes from the value of the imported components. The United States imposes a 50% tariff on computers and a 10% tariff on the computer’s components. Assume that costs of producing components are the same in the United States and Taiwan and that transit costs are nonexistent. Based on the information provided, the effective rate of protection that CompuGlobal receives from the tariff is
Answer: 110%
Explanation:
The effective rate of protection is used in measuring the final tariff in a particular sector and it's expressed as:
g = (t -ai,ti) / (1 - ai)
where,
g = effective protection rate
ai = nominal tariff rate = 0.6
t = cost of intermediate input = 0.5
ti = nominal tariff on intermediate input = 0.1
The computer price here is $800 while the input price is 60% of $800 which will be:
= 60% × $800 = $480
nominal tariff rate = 480/800 = 0.6
Nominal tariff on final goods, t = 50% = 0.5
Tariff on imported input, ti = 10% = 0.1
Using the formula:
g = (t -ai,ti) / (1 - ai)
g = [0.5 - (0.6×0.1)] / (1 - 0.6)
g = (0.5 - 0.06) / 0.4
g = 0.44/.0.4
g = 1.10
g = 110%
The effective rate of protection is 110%

the baking department started the month with 23,500 units in its beginning work in process inventory. An additional 216,000 units started into production during the month to begin processing. There were 193,900 units in completed and transferred to the next processing department during the month. How many units were in ending work in process inventory at the end of the month
Answer:
45,600 units
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How many units were in ending work in process inventory at the end of the month
Using this formula
Units in ending work in process = Units in beginning work in process + Units started into production – Units transferred to the next department
Let plug in the formula
Units in ending work in process= 23,500 units + 216,000 units – 193,900 units
Units in ending work in process= 45,600 units
Therefore the number of units that were in ending work in process inventory at the end of the month is 45,600 units

A farmer needs to borrow $1,000. The local PCA will make a 2-year loan fully amortized at 10% (annual rate) with quarterly payments. A $10 loan fee and stock purchase is required. The borrower stock requirement is the lesser of $1,000 or 2% of loan principal. Assume that sufficient money is borrowed to cover the $1,000, the fee and the stock requirement. Also assume that the stock requirement is returned to borrower when the loan is paid off and the last debt payment can be reduced by the stock amount. How much money needs to be borrowed
Answer:
the amount required to be borrowed is $1,030.60
Explanation:
The computation of the amount required to be borrowed is given below:
= (Sufficient money + loan fee) ÷ (1 - given percentage)
= ($1,000 + $10) ÷(1 - 0.02)
= $1,030.60
Hence, the amount required to be borrowed is $1,030.60
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could comes and the same should be relevant

Peterson Company estimates that overhead costs for the next year will be $6,520,000 for indirect labor and $550,000 for factory utilities. The company uses machine hours as its overhead allocation base. If 140,000 machine hours are planned for this next year, what is the company's plantwide overhead rate
Answer:
$50.50 per machine-hour
Explanation:
The computation of the company's plantwide overhead rate is shown below:
Estimated Manufacturing Overhead = Estimated Indirect Labor + Estimated Factory Utilities
= $6,520,000 + $550,000
= $7,070,000
and,
Expected Machine-hours = 140,000
So,
Plantwide Overhear Rate = Estimated Manufacturing Overhead ÷ Expected Machine-hours
= $7,070,000 ÷ 140,000
= $50.50 per machine-hour
