Suppose that supply changes such that at each price, 20 fewer towels are offered for sale. In other words, the new supply is now ????S=10P−20QS=10P−20 . Derive and plot the new inverse supply curve by moving the endpoints of the line labeled Supply 2. d. Find the new equilibrium price and quantity using Demand 1 and Supply 2. Equilibrium price: $ Equilibrium quantity: towels
Answer:
1) Correct supply function according to the state information
S=10P−20
Slope 10
2)
Equilibrium
Q = 60
P = $8
missing information:
Demand QD = 100 − 5P
Explanation:
The supply is variable for price and we are given the information that for each price there are 20 fewer towels thus, there is a constant decreased of 20 at each level of the curve.
S' = 10P
S'' = 10
The slope of the curve is 10
Equilibrium of D1 and S2
100 - 5P = 10P - 20
120 = 15P
8 = P
Supplu Quantity = 10 x 8 - 10 = 60
Demand Quantity = 100 - 5 x 8 = 100 - 40 = 60
"Some companies, such as Heinz, can forecast revenues well using pure time series analysis (that is, by extrapolation of prior data, accounting for seasonal effects). Other companies, such as FedEx (which makes money by shipping packages), or Sony (which sells consumer electronics) find that they cannot rely on pure time series analysis for reliable forecasting. They are strongly affected by recessions and need to use theory-based methods, including such explanatory variables as income in their forecasting models. Why are they different from Heinz?"
Answer:
Heinz sells ketchup and other sauces and condiments. Their demand is relatively stable and doesn't change that much year after year. The demand for their products is not that seriously affected by economic recessions or expansions.
On the other hand, Sony is a consumer electronics company and the demand for their products can vary drastically from one year to another. It depends on trends and innovations, and their total sales are affected by disposable income (expansions increase disposable income while recessions decrease it).
FedEx is also affected severely by economic recessions or expansions. Since FedEx ships and transports goods, when the economy is booming, FedEx is doing excellent. But if the economy starts to cool down or enters a recession, the amount of goods transported falls.
Alexis want to buy a house in 5 years. She wants to save $75,000 over the next five years for a down payment. If she can earn an annual rate of 9% on her savings, how much must she deposit in equal payments at the end of each month for the next five years to reach her goal
Answer:
the monthly payment is $994.38
Explanation:
For computing the deposit amount made in equal payment for the next five years we need to apply the PMT formula i.e. to be shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Present value = $0
Future value or Face value = $75,000
RATE = 9% ÷ 12 = 0.75%
NPER = 5 years × 12 = 60 years
The formula is shown below:
= PMT(RATE;NPER;PV;-FV;type)
The future value come in negative
So, after applying the above formula, the monthly payment is $994.38
Tech Solutions is a consulting firm that uses a job-order costing system. Its direct materials consist of hardware and software that it purchases and installs on behalf of its clients. The firm's direct labor includes salaries of consultants that work at the client's job site, and its overhead consists of costs such as depreciation, utilities, and insurance related to the office headquarters as well as the office supplies that are consumed serving clients. Tech Solutions computes its predetermined overhead rate annually on the basis of direct labor- hours. At the beginning of the year, it estimated that 80,000 direct labor-hours would be required for the period's estimated level of client service. The company also estimated $680,000 of fixed overhead cost for the coming period and variable overhead of $0.50 per direct labor-hour. The firms actual overhead cost for the year was $692,000 and its actual total direct labor was 83,000 hours.Required: a. Compute the predetermined overhead rate. b. During the year, Tech Solutions started and completed the Xavier Company engagement. The following information was available with respect to this job:Direct Material $38,000Direct Labour Cost $21,000Direct Labour hours worked 280Compute the total job cost for the Xavier Company engagement.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (680,000/80,000) + 0.5
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $9 per direct labor hour
Now, the total cost for Xavier:
Direct Material $38,000
Direct Labour Cost $21,000
Direct Labour hours worked 280
Total cost= direct material + direct labor + allocated overhead
Total cost= 38,000 + 21,000 + 280*9
Total cost= $61,520
The predetermined overhead rate is $9
And, the total cost is $61,520
The calculation is as follows:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period ÷ total amount of allocation base
= (680,000 ÷ 80,000) + 0.5
= $9 per direct labor hour
Now, the total cost for Xavier:
Total cost= direct material + direct labor + allocated overhead
Total cost= 38,000 + 21,000 + 280(9)
Total cost= $61,520

Samuel's Dad is looking to deposit a sum of money immediately into an account that pays an annual interest rate of 9.00% so that his first-year college tuition costs are provided for. Currently, the average college tuition cost is $12,000 and is expected to increase by 3.00% per year (the average inflation rate). Samuel just turned 3 and is expected to start college when he turns 18. How much money will Samuel's Dad have to deposit into the account
Answer: $5,132.66
Explanation:
If the current tuition costs are $12,000 but increasing at a rate of 3% every year, the cost of tuition in first year when Samuel will be 18 is;
= 12,000 * ( 1 + r) ^ n
= 12,000 * (1 + 3%) ^ (18 - 3)
= $18,695.61
Assuming that the account will pay 9% per year on an investment now, Samuels's Dad will have to pay the present value of the tuition fee discounted at 9%.
= 18,695.61 / ( 1 + 9%) ^ 15
= $5,132.66
Hula Products has reintroduced the hula hoop to the world and faces a growing demand for its product in two distinct markets: the United States and Europe. Demand in these markets is: United States: PU = 20 - 0.1QU Europe: PE = 10 - 0.05QE where all quantities are expressed in thousands of units (i.e. QU = 10 should be interpreted as 10 thousand hula hoops). The company has a marginal cost of two dollar per unit in the United States (MCU = $2) and four dollars per unit in Europe (MCE= $4). Finally, the firm has a production limitation or constraint of 96 units (96 thousand hula hoops). How many hoops should be sold in the United States?
Answer:
90 units hoops (90 thousand hula hoops) should be sold in the United States.
Explanation:
Demand function given are indirect demand functions. The total revenue can be obtained by multiplying the indirect demand function my the quantity.
Since we wan to calculate the number of hoops that should be sold in the United States, we therefore have:
TRU = QU(20 - 0.1QU)
TRU = 20QU - 0.1QU^2 ......................... (1)
Where TRU denotes the total revenue in the United States.
The marginal revenue in the United States (MRU) can be obtained by differentiating equation (1) with respect to QU as follows:
MRU = dTRU/dQU = 20 - 0.2QU ............ (2)
Note that in the question, the company has a marginal cost of two dollar per unit in the United States given as follows:
MCU = $2
Since profit is maximized at where marginal revenue is equal to the marginal cost, we therefore equate MRU and MCU and solve for QU as follows:
MRU = MCU
This implies;
20 - 0.2QU = 2
-0.2QU = 2 - 20
-0.2QU = -18
QU = -18 / -0.2
QU = 90
This implies that profit is maximized in the US at 90 units hoops (90 thousand hula hoops).
Therefore, 90 units hoops (90 thousand hula hoops) should be sold in the United States.

Calculate partial labor and capital productivity figures for the parent and subsidiary. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
U.S. labor= 5
LDC labor = 1.3
U.S. capital= 1.67
LDC capital = 4
Explanation:
Calculation for both partial labor and capital productivity figures for the parent subsidiary
Calculation for U.S. labor
U.S. labor=100,000/20,000
U.S. labor= 5
Calculation for LDC labor
LDC labor=20,000/15,000
LDC labor = 1.3
Calculation for U.S. capital
U.S. capital=100,000/60,000
U.S. capital= 1.67
Calculation for LDC capital
LDC capital=20,000/5,000
LDC capital = 4
Therefore based on the above calculations we can see that U.S labor productivity is much better because the labor productivity of U.S labor is higher than that of LDC labor and for the capital productivity the LDC is much better because capital productivity of LDC is higher than that of U.S. capital.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture guarantees dairy producers that they will receive at least $1.00 per pound for butter they supply to the market.

Enter your answers for quantity as a whole number. a. What are the equilibrium price and quantity in the wholesale butter market? P = $ Q = million pounds b. What is the monthly surplus created in the wholesale butter market due to the price support (price floor) program? 22 million pounds Zero 79 million pounds 11 million pounds Suppose that a decrease in the cost of feeding cows shifts the supply schedule to the right by 40 million pounds at every price. c. Fill in the new supply schedule given the change in the cost of feeding cow
Answer:
1. Equilibrium price ,p = $1.20 per pound, equilibrium quantity = 95 million pounds.
2. Surplus = 0
Explanation:
1. From the question,
the equilibrium price = 1.20
The equilibrium quantity = 95 million per pounds.
Equilibrium is gotten when Quantity supplied = quantity demanded.
2. When price floor == $1.00
Quantity demanded = 101
Quantity supplied = 79
Monthly surplus = 79 - 101 = -22
Quantity demanded > quantity surplus.
This implies that there is no surplus.
Surplus = 0
3. If a decrease in cost of feeding cows shift supply by 40 million we will have new supply schedule =
New qs = Qs + 40
63+40 = 103
71+40= 111
79+40 = 119
87+40= 127
95 + 40 = 135
103 + 40 = 143
111+40 = 151
119 + 40 = 159
127 + 40 = 167
135 + 40 = 175
143 + 40 = 183

On January 1, 2011, Deuce Inc. acquired 15% of Wiz Co.'s outstanding common stock for $62,400 and categorized the investment as an available-for-sale security. Wiz earned net income of $96,000 in 2011 and paid dividends of $36,000. On January 1, 2012, Deuce bought an additional 10% of Wiz for $54,000. This second purchase gave Deuce the ability to significantly influence the decision making of Wiz. During 2012, Wiz earned $120,000 and paid $48,000 in dividends. As of December 31, 2012, Wiz reported a net book value of $468,000. For both purchases, Deuce concluded that Wiz Co.'s book values approximated fair values and attributed any excess cost to goodwill. What amount of equity income should Deuce have reported for 2012?
Answer:
$30,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount of equity income to reported
Using this formula
Equity income=[(Amount earned in 2012×(Outstanding common stock percentage +Additional percentage of Wiz)]
Let plug in the formula
Equity income = [($120,000 ×(15%+ 10%)]
Equity income = ($120,000 ×25%)
Equity income= $30,000
Therefore the amount of equity income to reported for 2012 will be $30,000

Broward Manufacturing recently reported the following information: Net income $384,000 ROA 10% Interest expense $126,720 Accounts payable and accruals $1,000,000 Broward's tax rate is 25%. Broward finances with only debt and common equity, so it has no preferred stock. 40% of its total invested capital is debt, and 60% of its total invested capital is common equity. Calculate its basic earning power (BEP), its return on equity (ROE), and its return on invested capital (ROIC). Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.
Answer:
a. Basic earning power (BEP) = 16.63%
b. Return on equity (ROE) = 26.67%
c. Return on invested capital (ROIC) = 16.87%
Explanation:
From the question, we have the following:
Net income = $384,000
ROA = Return on Asset = 10%
Interest expense = $126,720
Accounts payable and accruals = $1,000,000
Tax rate = 25% = 0.25
Common equity finance percentage = 60%
Debt finance percentage = 40%
From the above, we have:
Total assets = Net income / ROA = $384,000 / 10% = $3,840,000
Net total assets = Total assets - Accounts payable and accruals = $3,840,000 - $1,000,000 = $2,840,000
Common equity = Net total assets * Common equity finance percentage = $2,400,000 * 60% = $1,440,000
Debt = Net total assets * Debt finance percentage = $2,400,000 * 40% = $960,000
Earning before tax = Net income / (1 - Tax rate) = $384,000 / (1 - 0.25) = $384,000 / 0.75 = $512,000
Earning before interest and tax = EBIT = Earning before tax + Interest expense = $512,000 + $126,720 = $638,720
We then proceed as follows:
a. Calculation of basic earning power (BEP)
This can be calculated using the following formula:
BEP = EBIT / Total assets = $638,720 / $3,840,000 = 0.166333333333333 = 0.1663, or 16.63%
b. Calculation of return on equity (ROE)
This can be calculated using the following formula:
ROE = Net income / Common equity = $384,000 / $1,440,000 = 0.266666666666667 = 0.2667, or 26.67%.
c. Calculation of return on invested capital (ROIC)
This can be calculated using the following formula:
ROIC = (EBIT * (1 - Tax rate)) / (Common equity + Debt) = ($638,720 * (1 - 0.25)) / ($1,440,000 + $960,000) = ($638,720 * 0.75)) / $2,840,000 = $479,040 / $2,840,000 = 0.168676056338028 = 0.1687, or 16.87%
