Total revenue is defined as a. price minus quantity sold. b. price divided by quantity sold. c. price multiplied by quantity sold. d. quantity divided by price sold. e. price plus quantity sold.
Answer:
c. price multiplied by quantity sold
Explanation:
The total revenue is the amount of money that a company earns from selling products and services. As it is the quantity that a business received from its sales, it is calculated by multiplying the price of a product for the number of units sold. According to this, the answer is that the total revenue is defined as price multiplied by quantity sold.
Ivanna, who has three children under age 13, worked full-time while her spouse, Sergio, was attending college for nine months during the year. Ivanna earned $28,000 and incurred $9,100 of child care expenses. Ivanna and Sergio's credit for child and dependent care expenses is?
Answer:
$1,260
Explanation:
Remember, we are dealing with a case of a married couple. Therefore, we apply the tax credit rule patterning to legally married couples.
Note that the rule is restricted to the lesser of
- real expenses,
- $6,000 (in this case they have three children which implies they have more than two qualifying children),
- the total earned income of the lowest taxpayer in the family.
Since the rule gives an exception for students. We could assumed that Sergio earned $500 for each month he was attending college. That is 9 * $500 = $4,500; the Credit = $4,500 * 28%= 1,260
Based on the period Sergio attended college and the relevant tax laws, Sergio's credit is $1,260.
When a person is going to college, they are assumed to make $500 per month. Sergio's earnings are therefore:
= 500 x 9 months
= $4,500
With a joint Adjusted Gross Income of $28,000 for the both of them, they can get a tax credit of 28% of their earnings.
As Sergio is assumed to have made $4,500, the tax credit is:
= 28% x 4,500
= $1,260
In conclusion, Sergio's credit is $1,260.

Timm Inc., a calendar year, accrual basis taxpayer, is being sued by a customer who was injured when she tripped over a loose carpet in Timm's retail store. Timm's auditors required the corporation to accrue a $500,000 contingent liability and current year expense. Which of the following statements is true?
a. Timm can deduct the $500,000 accrued expense.
b. Timm can never deduct the $500,000 expense.
c. Timm can deduct the expense in the year in which the liability becomes fixed and determinable.
d. Timm can deduct the expense in the year of payment.
Answer: d. Timm can deduct the expense in the year of payment.
Explanation:
A Contingent Liability refers to a liability that a company MIGHT incur if a future event happens. It is mostly often used for law suits in case a company has to pay damages. They will thus accrue the expense in readiness to pay it off should the need ever arise.
While Timm will record it in the books, there is no need to deduct it from the income yet. Timm should wait until the year they will have to pay to deduct it. That way the expense will be correctly apportioned to it's corresponding period.
Ajax, Inc., issued callable bonds with a par value of $1,000,000 that require the payment of a call premium of $10,000. The bonds have a carrying value of $990,000. We call these bonds prior to maturity on September 30. Complete the necessary journal entry by selecting the account names and dollar amounts from the drop-down menus.

Within the relevant range, the variable cost per unit: remains constant as activity changes. increases as activity increases. decreases as activity increases. can increase or decrease as the activity changes.
Answer:
remains constant as activity changes.
Explanation:
The Variable Cost per unit is the actual production cost that is incurred in order to produce each unit that is affected by changes in the company's output or activity level. Within the relevant range, the variable cost per unit remains constant as activity changes, even though the total dollar amount varies in accordance to the various changes in the company's activity, the variable cost will stay constant on a per unit basis.
The bond has a coupon rate of 6.83 percent, it makes semiannual payments, and there are 4 months to the next coupon payment. A clean price of $1,049 and the par value is $1,000. What is the invoice price
Answer:
The invoice price for the bond is $1,060.38
Explanation:
Given the following:
PV= Par value = $1,000 ,
CV= Clean Price = $1,049
Coupon Rate per annum = 6.83%
To calculate the Semiannual Coupon Rate= Coupon Rate per annum/2= 3.415%
To calculate Semiannual Coupon= Semiannual Coupon Rate*PV
= 3.415% * $1,000 = $34.15
With an interest accured over 2 months, we calculate it thus:
Accrued Interest = $34.15 * 2/6 = $11.38
To calculate Invoice price:
Invoice Price = CP + Accrued Interest
Invoice Price = $1,049.00 + $11.38
Invoice Price = $1,060.38

Arlington Company is constructing a building. Construction began on January 1 and was completed on December 31. Expenditures were $4,000,000 on March 1, $3,300,000 on June 1, and $5,000,000 on December 31. Arlington Company borrowed $2,000,000 on January 1 on a 5- year, 12% note to help finance construction of the building. In addition, the company had outstanding all year a 10%, 3-year, $4,000,000 note payable and an 11%, 4-year, $7,500,000 note payable. 96. What are the weighted-average accumulated expenditures

Proposal #2 would establish local collection centers throughout the region to decrease the time it takes to convert credit payments that are mailed in by check to cash. It is estimated that establishing these collection centers would reduce the average collection time by 2 days.If the company currently averages $60,000 in collections per day, how many dollars will this suggested cash management system free up?If all freed up dollars would be used to pay down debt that has an interest rate of 5%, how much money could be saved each year in interest expense?Do the numbers suggest that this new system should be implemented if its total annual cost is $5200? Explain.
Answer: a. $120,000
b. $6,000
c. Yes
Explanation:
a. It is said that the collection centres would help reduce the collection time by 2 days and that every day $60,000 comes in.
If the proposal will reduce the amount of time taken to collect by 2 days then that means that the amount freed up is the amount that they would have collected in two days had it not been for the system.
That amount would be,
= $60,000 * 2
= $120,000
b. If they used this free up cash to pay off a debt that was accumulating 5% per year then the 5% will be saved.
The amount saved therefore is,
= 120,000 * 5%
= $6,000
By retiring a $120,000 that was accruing $6,000 a year, the proposal has enabled that $6,000 to be saved instead.
c. The cost of implementing this proposal is $5,200 per year and yet the savings it gives in interest is $6,000.
As the savings are higher than the cost, the number definitely suggest that the project should be implemented because it is more beneficial than it costs.
Mary offered to sell Mike several pieces of rare Chinese art at a very good price because they were duplicates in her own collection. Mike could not accept the offer at that time, but he did give Mary $500 in return for her promise to keep her offer open for three (3) weeks. Mike returned with the agreed-upon balance two weeks later to find that Mary already had sold the pieces she had offered to sell to him. Mary explained that she had been able to get a better price from another buyer. She offered to return Mike's $500 and insisted that this was all she was obligated to do. Is Mary right?
Answer: She is not.
Explanation:
It would seem as though that Mary got into a type of contract known as an Option Contract or more precisely, a Call Option Contract simply called a Call.
In this type on contract, a seller gives a buyer the right to buy a good or service at a certain price within a set period.
Mary agreed to sell the rare Chinese Art for a certain amount which Mike could not pay but she promised to give him 3 weeks to take it within which he can pay and collect the item.
Mike returned in 2 weeks which was within the range of time allowed and so she should have kept the offer open for the time she said she would.
She is wrong to believe that all she owes him is his down payment. She broke a contract.

Answer:
Data on U.S. GDP
a) The growth rate of nominal GDP between 1996 and 2016 was 131.72%, calculated as follows:
= (2016 nominal GDP - 2009 nominal GDP) / 2009 nominal GDP x 100
= (18,707 - 8,073)/ 8,073 x 100
= 131.72%
b) The growth rate of the GDP deflator between 1996 and 2016 was 44.75%, calculated as follows:
= (2016 GDP deflator - 1996 GDP deflator)/ 1996 GDP deflator x 100
= (105.93 - 73.18)/73.18 x 100
= 44.75%

Should the home country be "large" relative to the world, its imposition of a tariff on imports would lead to an increase in domestic welfare if the terms-of-trade effect exceeds the sum of the:_________
a. revenue effect plus redistribution effect.
b. protective effect plus revenue effect.
c. consumption effect plus redistribution effect.
d. production distortion effect plus consumption distortion effect.
e. None of the above.
Answer:
Option e. is correct
Explanation:
The Terms of Trade is equal to the average price of exports / by the average price of imports. The terms-of-trade refers to the relative price of exports in terms of imports.
Protective effect refers to the wasted resources due to production of good at a higher cost. Consumption effect refers to the loss to consumer due to higher price that leads to less consumption.
Should the home country be "large" relative to the world, its imposition of a tariff on imports would lead to an increase in domestic welfare if the terms-of-trade effect exceeds the sum of the protective effect plus consumption effect

Rita is working in the job of her dreams.
Answer:
Lisa cannot find the job she wants so she has stopped looking. Penny has a college degree in nursing, but currently has to work as a store clerk as it is the only available job in her small town.Explanation:
Hidden Unemployment also known as Disguised Unemployment in simple terms refers to the following people; people who are not working and have given up on looking for work because they could not find any, people who have the skillset and determination to work full-time working only part time and people who are underemployed meaning that they are working a job that they are overqualified for.
Hidden Unemployment is considered hidden as it is not reflected in employment statistics.
Lisa could not find a job so she stopped looking. This is Hidden Unemployment and official figures will not even count her as unemployed because you need to be actively looking for work to be classified unemployed.
Penny is overqualified for the store clerk position she holds or rather she is qualified for a different profession. Employment statistics will however show her as employed.
Data collected from the economy of Pokerville reveals that a 16% increase in income leads to the following changes:
• A 12% increase in the quantity of horses demanded.
• A 14% decrease in the quantity of clubs demanded.
• A 28% increase in the quantity of diamonds demanded.
Compute the income elasticity of demand for each good and use the dropdown menus to complete the first column in the following table.
Good Income Elasticity of Demand Normal or Inferior Good
Horses
Spades
Aces
Which of the following three goods is most likely to be classified as a luxury good?
a. Aces
b. Spades
c. Horses
Answer:
Horses - 0.75 - normal
Clubs- 0.875 - inferior
Diamonds - 1.75 - normal
Diamond is a luxury good
Explanation:
Income elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in income of the consumer.
Income elasticity of demand = percentage change in demand / percentage change in income
Income elascitiy for horses = 12% / 16% =
Income elasticity of demand for spades = 14% / 16% = 0.875
Income elasticity of demand for diamonds 28% / 16% = 1.75
A normal good is a whose demand increases when income increases and falls when income falls.
An inferior good is a good whose demand increases when income falls and whose demand falls when income increases.
Horses and diamonds are normal goods because the demand for the goods increases with income while clubs are inferior goods because the demand for the goods falls when income rises.
A luxury good is a good whose demand rises more than the rise in income. The demands for diamonds increase more than the increase in income, so diamonds are luxury goods.

Units started into production during the year totaled 150,000 units. A total of 140,000 units were completed during the year. The ending work in process, 25% complete, was comprised of 20,000 units. What was the number of equivalent units using the FIFO method
Answer:
Equivalent units= 145,000 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The beginning work in process, 70% complete, was comprised of 10,000 units. Units started into production during the year totaled 150,000 units. A total of 140,000 units were completed during the year. The ending work in process, 25% complete, was comprised of 20,000 units.
We need to use the following structure:
Beginning work in process = beginning inventory* %incompleted
Units started and completed = units completed - beginning WIP
Ending work in process completed= Ending WIP* %completed
=Number of equivalent units
Beginning work in process = 10,000*0.3= 3,000
Units started and completed = 140,000 - 3,000= 137,000
Ending work in process completed= 20,000*0.25= 5,000

There are many perfumes on the market, but Demeter, a superior brand of perfume, has memorable scents that leads to emotional ties. Which element of the marketing plan is being considered when the marketing manager decided initially to market the perfume in a limited number of very exclusive specialty stores?
Answer:
Place
Explanation:
The four P's of marketing is a number of tactics employed in a marketing plan to achieve better sales of a product. These four P's include; Price, Place, Promotion, and Product. The place factor takes note of the location where the target customers are most likely to be reached. To achieve better sales of a product, it is very important that the right location is chosen so that consumers who are interested in it can access it easily. For example, it would make no sense to sell grocery products in a boutique. That is not where the target customers are.
So, when the marketing manager of Demeter Perfumes decided to market the perfume in a limited number of very exclusive specialty stores, it is because that place is where the target market (most likely, high income earners), can be found easily.
The Talbot Company uses electrical assemblies to produce an array of small appliances. One of the assemblies, the XOminus01, has an estimated annual demand of 12 comma 000 units. The cost to place an order for these assemblies is $650, and the holding cost for each assembly unit is approximately $30 per year. The company has 260 workdays per year.
Required:
What are the annual inventory holding costs if Talbot orders using the EOQ quantity?
Answer:
$1,975 per year
Explanation:
The first step is to calculate Economic order quantity using the following formula:
Economic Order Quantity = √2DO / H
Here
A is Annual Demand which is 12,000 Units.
O is Ordering Cost per order $650 per order.
H is Holding or Carrying Cost per unit per year is $30 per unit per year.
By putting values, we have:
Economic Order Quantity = √(2 * 12,000 * $650) / 30 = 131.66 units
Now annual inventory holding costs can be calculated using the following formula:
Inventory Holding Cost = Average Inventory * Holding Cost
Here,
Average Inventory = EOQ /2 = 131.66 / 2 = 66 units
By putting values we have:
Annual Inventory Holding Cost = 66 * 20 = $1,975 per year
Erosion can best be explained as the:
A. loss of current sales due to a new project being implemented.
B. loss of revenue due to employee theft.
C. additional income generated from the sales of a newly added product.
D. loss of revenue due to customer theft.
Answer:
A. loss of current sales due to a new project being implemented.
Explanation:
In business, erosion takes place when a new product or project competes with another product or project from the came company. This "internal" competition reduces the revenues and benefits from existing products or projects. It is basically a form of business cannibalization, where the left arm takes away from the right arm. E.g. newer smartphone models decrease the sales revenue from existing (older) models.
In no case can "market" in the lower-of-cost-or-market rule be more than:_______.
a. estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business.
b. estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion and disposal, an allowance for an approximately normal profit margin, and an adequate reserve for possible future losses.
c. estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion and disposal.
d. estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion and disposal and an allowance for an approximately normal profit margin.
Answer:
b. estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion and disposal, an allowance for an approximately normal profit margin, and an adequate reserve for possible future losses.
Explanation:
Note that the lower of cost market rule is explicitly encouraging businesses to record the lowest cost of inventory; for example using the original cost or its current market price, whichever is favourable.
Thus, the "market" must not be more than the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, with an allowance for an approximately normal profit margin, and an adequate reserve for possible future losses.
e Department of Traffic Security of a city is considering the purchase of a new drone for aerial surveillance of traffic on its most congested streets. A similar purchase 4 years ago cost $950,000. At an interest rate of 7% per year, what is the equivalent value today of the previous $950,000 expenditure?
Answer:
The equivalent value of the expenditure today is = $1,245,256.21
Explanation:
The equivalent today of the 950,000 would be the future value compounded at 7% per year.
FV = PV × (1+r)^n
FV - ?, PV - value 4 years ago, n- number of years, r- rate of return
PV - 950,000, n- 4, r-7%

A financial advisor offers you two investment opportunities. Both offer a rate of return of 11%. Investment A promises to pay you $450 in 1 year, $650 in 2 years, and $850 in 3 years. Investment B promises to pay you $850 in 1 year, $x in 2 years, and $450 in 3 years. What must x be to make you indifferent between Investing A and B
Answer:
The value of x is 566.36
Explanation:
The value of x should be such that the present value of both Investments is the same when discounted at a rate of 11%. To calculate the present value, we use the following formula,
Present Value = CF 1 / (1+r) + CF 2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + CFn / (1+r)^n
Where,
CF represents Cash flowr represents the discount rateSo, we equate both the present value of Investment A and B to calculate the value of x.
Present Value of A = Present Value of B
450/(1.11) + 650/(1.11)^2 + 850/(1.11)^3 = 850/(1.11) + x/(1.11)^2 + 450/(1.11)^3
1554.472661 = 765.7657658 + x/(1.11)^2 + 329.0361216
1554.472661 - 765.7657658 - 329.0361216 = x/(1.11)^2
459.6707736 * (1.11)^2 = x
x = 566.3603602 rounded off to 566.36
At the beginning of the year, Quaker Company's liabilities equal $78,000. During the year, assets increase by $60,000, and at year-end assets equal $190,000. Liabilities decrease $14,000 during the year. What are the beginning and ending amounts of equity?
Answer:
$52,000 and $126,000
Explanation:
The computation of the beginning and ending amount of equity is as follows
Particulars Assets (A) Liabilities (L) Equity (A - L)
Beginning $130,000 $78,000 $52,000
Add: increase or less decreased
Change $60,000 -$14,000
Ending $190,000 $64,000 $126,000
We simply applied the accounting equation to find out the beginning and ending amounts of equity
