Answer:
A. 15 per min or 900 bottles per hour
B. Station 4
C. No increase
Explanation:
a) Calculation to determine the processing capacity (bottles/hr) for the machine paced line
Output of station 1 = 60 /1
Output of station 1 = 60 per minutes
Output of station 2 = 60/3
Output of station 2 =20 per minute
Output of station 3 = 2x 60/5
Output of station 3 =24per minute
Output of station 4 = 60/4
Output of station 4=15 per minute
Based on the above calculation the PROCESS CAPACITY of the machine paced line will either be 15 per minute or 900 bottles per hour (15minx60)
b)The BOTTLENECK in the process will be STATION 4
c) In a situation were an identical labelling machine is been added to the process there won't be any increase in the processing capacity in terms of bottles/hr reason been that the bottleneck is not the labelling machine.

Hamlet has monotonic, strictly convex, quasilinear preferences over widgets,x, and money to spend on other goods,m, wheremis the linear term. Consider a $1 increase in the price of widgets. Hamlet knows that he if he were given $20 after the price change, his new optimal bundle would give him exactly the same utility that he had before the price change. Which of the following can be concluded from this information? (You may assume that Hamlet's income is large enough that however many widgets he might want to buy, he'll still have money left over for other goods.)
A) Hamlet's compensating variation is $20.
B) Hamlet's equivalent variation is $20.
C) Hamlet's (net) consumer surplus falls by $20 due to the price change.
D) All of the above are true.
E) None of the above are true.
Answer:
A) Hamlet's compensating variation is $20.
Explanation:
Hamlet is expecting pay rise of $20 but he thinks that his utility will remain the same. Hamlet is not getting any extra benefit due to his pay rise and his utility is same, this is compensating variation because his initial utility is not changed. Compensating variation is the extra amount of money which is needed to reach to initial utility.

Answer:
a) The equilibrium value of Y is 41,180.
b) The value of autonomous consumption (c0) is 12557.
c) The value of MPC is 0.5.
d) The value of MPS is 0.5.
e) The value of APC is 0.70
f) The value of APS is 0.30
g) Private saving is 32286; Public saving is -1305; and National saving is 30981
h) Multiplier = 2
i) The equilibrium value of Y increases by $300.
j) The equilibrium value of Y decreases by $150.
k) The equilibrium value of Y increases by $150.
Explanation:
Note: The model is not complete as the figures in it are omitted. The complete model of the economy is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
C = 12557 + 0.5YD
I = 2281
G = 10199
T = 8894
The explanation of the answers is now given as follows:
a) What is the equilibrium value of Y?
YD = Y - T .............. (1)
Equilibrium value of Y can be obtained using the following formula:
Y = C + G + I ............................ (2)
Substituting all the values into equation (2), we have:
Y = 12557 + 0.5YD + 2281 + 10199 ………………….. (3)
Substituting equation (1) into equation (3), we have:
Y = 12557 + 0.5(Y – T) + 2281 + 10199 ……………… (4)
Substitute T = 8894 into equation (4) and solve for Y, we have:
Y = 12557 + 0.5(Y – 8894) + 2281 + 10199
Y = 12557 + 0.5Y – (0.5 * 8894) + 2281 + 10199
Y – 0.5Y = 12557 – (0.5 * 8894) + 2281 + 10199
(1 - 0.5)Y = 20590
0.5Y = 20590
Y = 20590/0.5
Y = 41,180
b) What is the value of autonomous consumption (c0)?
From C = 12557 + 0.5YD, the value of autonomous consumption (c0) is 12557.
c) What is the value of MPC?
From C = 12557 + 0.5YD, the value of MPC is 0.5.
d) What is the value of MPS?
MPS = 1 – MPC = 1 – 0.5 = 0.5
e) What is the value of APC?
YD = Y – T = 41180 – 8894 = 32286
C = 12557 + 0.5YD = C = 12557 + (0.5 * 32286) = 28,700
APC = C / Y = 28700 / 41,180 = 0.70
Note: This is not part of the answer but just additional information. Sometimes, YD is used. Then, we have:
APC = C / YD = 28700 / 32286 = 0.89
f) What is the value of APS?
APS = 1 – APC = 1 – 0.70 = 0.30
Note: This is not part of the answer but just additional information. If YD is used to calculate APC as it can be done sometimes, then we have:
APC = C / YD = 28700 / 32286 = 0.89
APS = 1 – APC = 1 – 0.89 = 0.11
g) Calculate private saving, public saving and national saving.
Private saving = Y – T = 41180 – 8894 = 32286
Public saving = T – G = 8894 – 10199 = -1305
National saving = Private saving + Public saving = 32286 -1305 = 30981
h) Calculate the multiplier.
Multiplier = 1 / MPS = 1 / 0.5 = 2
i) What happens to the equilibrium value of Y if G increases by $150?
Change in Y = Increase in G * Multiplier = $150 * 2 = $300
Since it is positive, it implies that the equilibrium value of Y increases by $300
j) What happens to the equilibrium value of Y if T increases by $150, and G remains at its original value of ?
Tax multiplier = - MPC/MPS =-0.5/0.5 = -1.0
Change in Y = Increase in T * Tax multiplier = $150 * (-1.0) = -$150
Since it is negative, it implies that the equilibrium value of Y decreases by $150.
k) What happens to the equilibrium value of Y if both G & T increase by $150 from their original amounts?
Change in Y = Change in Y as a result of change in G + Change Y as a result change in T = $300 + (-$150) = $300 - $150 = $150
Since it is positive, it implies that the equilibrium value of Y increases by $150.
Pearsall Company has a defined benefit pension plan. On December 31 (the end of the fiscal year), the company received the PBO report from the actuary. The following information was included in the report: ending PBO, $113,000; benefits paid to retirees, $14,500; interest cost, $7,500. The discount rate applied by the actuary was 10%. What was the service cost for the year
Answer:
$45,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the service cost for the year
PBO, $113,000
Add benefits paid to retirees, $14,500
Less interest cost ($7,500)
Less Beginning PBO ($75,000)
($7,500/0.1)
Service cost $45,000
($113,000+$14,500-$7,500-$75,000)
Therefore the service cost for the year will be $45,000

Mark and Lucy owned two stocks, Tinker Inc., and Chance Inc., that became worthless during year 8. The adjusted basis in Tinker was $300,000. Tinker was incorporated in year 2, and Mark and Lucy purchased their stock in year 4. Their adjusted basis in Chance was $200,000. Chance was incorporated in year 2, and Mark and Lucy were original stockholders. Both stocks were purchased for cash, and each corporation had total capital of $500,000. How much ordinary loss can Mark and Lucy deduct on their joint year 8 tax return as a result of these transactions
Answer:
$20,000
Explanation:
Adjusted basis in Tinker = $300,000
Tinker was incorporated in year 2 and Mark and Lucy purchased their stock in Year 4
adjusted basis in chance was $200,000, each corporation had total capital of $500,000
Determine how much ordinary loss can mark and Lucy deduct on their joint year 8 tax return
If your value of share falls and you suffer loss, due to section 1244 stock the taxpayer is allowed to deduct loss as an ordinary loss up to maximum of $50,000 for single and $100,000 if MFJ
Hence the loss to be calculated
sales consideration $---

based on section 1244 mark and Lucy loss of complete $20,000 will be allowed since it is below $100,000
On January 1, 2021, the Montgomery Company agreed to purchase a building by making six payments. The first three are to be $37,000 each, and will be paid on December 31, 2021, 2022, and 2023. The last three are to be $52,000 each and will be paid on December 31, 2024, 2025, and 2026. Montgomery borrowed other money at a 11% annual rate. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Required: 1. At what amount should Montgomery record the note payable and corresponding cost of the building on January 1, 2021
Answer:
cost of the building = $183,331.14
Explanation:
we have to calculate the present value of all the future annual payments using the 11% discount rate:
$37,000 x 2.4437 (PVIFA, 11%, 3 periods) = $90,416.90
($52,000 x 2.4437) / (1 + 11%)³ = $92,914.24
total present value = $183,331.14

Budgeted Production Materials (80,000 x 2) 160,000
Add Budgeted Closing Materials (90,000 x 2 x 25%) 45,000
Total Materials 205,000
Less Budgeted Opening Materials (80,000 x 2 x 25%) (40,000)
Budgeted Material Purchase (pounds) 165,000
Therefore,
Budgeted purchases of material for the second quarter would be 165,000 pounds
Poehling Medical Center has a single operating room that is used by local physicians to perform surgical procedures. The cost of using the operating room is accumulated by each patient procedure and includes the direct materials costs (drugs and medical devices), physician surgical time, and operating room overhead. On January 1 of the current year, the annual operating room overhead is estimated to be: Disposable supplies $278,900 Depreciation expense 69,800 Utilities 29,800 Nurse salaries 259,300 Technician wages 118,200 Total operating room overhead $756,000 The overhead costs will be assigned to procedures, based on the number of surgical room hours. Poehling Medical Center expects to use the operating room an average of eight hours per day, seven days per week. In addition, the operating room will be shut down two weeks per year for general repairs. This information has been collected in the Microsoft Excel Online file. Open the spreadsheet, perform the required analysis, and input your answers in the questions below.1. Determine the predetermined operating room overhead rate for the year.
2. Bill Harris has a five-hours procedure on Jan 22. How much operating room overhead would be charged to his procedure, using the rate determined in part 1?
3. During January, the operating room was used 240 hours. The actual overhead costs incurred for January were $67,250. Determine the overhead under or over applied for the period.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing 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
Total number of surgical room hours= (8*7)*52= 2,912 hours
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 756,000 / 2,912
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $259.61 per surgical room hour
Now, we can allocate costs using the following formula:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 259.61*5
Allocated MOH= $1,298.05
Finally, the under/over allocation for January:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Allocated overhead= 259.61*240= $62,306.4
Under/over applied overhead= 67,250 - 62,306.4
Underapplied overhead= $4,943.6
Tar Heel Auto Parts owns a manufacturing facility that is currently sitting idle. The facility is located on a piece of land that cost $134,000 at the time Tar Heel Auto Parts bought it (several years ago). The facility itself cost $700,000 to build. The current book values of the land and the facility are $134,000 and $214,000, respectively. Tar Heel Auto Parts received a bid of $640,000 for the land and facility last week. They rejected this bid even though they were told that it is a reasonable offer in today's market. If Tar Heel Auto Parts were to consider using this land and facility in a new project, what cost, if any, should they include in the project analysis?
Answer:
Tar Heel Auto Parts
The cost that Tar Heel Auto Parts should include in their new project analysis for the land and facility should be:
= $640,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Analysis:
Cost Book Value
Cost of a piece of land $134,000 $134,000
Cost of idle manufacturing facility $700,000 $214,000
Current market value of the land and facility = $640,000
b) The current market value of Tar Heel's land and facility is the relevant cost for project analysis. The book value and the cost prices are no longer relevant as they relate to the past and are sunk and historical costs. Sunk and historical costs do not make any difference in decision making. The fair or current market value is a future value that is useful for Tar Heel's project analysis and decision making.

C. correct defective processes or products and services before they are delivered to customers. D. are activities required after defective products or services are delivered to customers.
Answer:
D. are activities required after defective products or services are delivered to customers.
Explanation:
Six Sigma is a quality business management strategy which helps business organizations to improve the quality of processes, products and services by discovering and eliminating defects, variations or errors. It is a strategic business concept that was developed in 1986 by Motorola.
Under the six sigma approach, any process that doesn't provide customer satisfaction or causes challenges in an organisation's process should be eliminated from the system in order to produce quality products and services. It allows only 3.4 defective features for every million opportunities and as such expects processes to be defect free 99.99966 percent of the time.
The following activities are carried out in accordance with the Six Sigma model;
External failure activities are activities required after defective products or services are delivered to customers.
The other terminologies used in the manufacturing process includes;
- Prevention: seek to prevent defects in the products or services being produced.
- Appraisal: inspect inputs and attributes of individual units of products or services to detect whether they conform to specifications or customer expectations.
- Internal failure activities: correct defective processes or products and services before they are delivered to customers.

b. Which of the following would be the most likely cause of the change in the amount of acreage used in corn production?
A. The higher price signals suppliers that corn is becoming more valuable.
B. Consumers directly inform suppliers of the increased demand for corn.
C. The government mandates that U.S. corn producers increase the acreage they devote to corn production to keep up with demand.
D. Economists publish reports in trade magazines informing farmers of the increased demand for corn.
Answer:
a. As a result of the price increase in corn, the supply of corn would increase. At the same time, the amount of acreage used in corn production would increase.
b. The most likely cause of the change in the amount of acreage used in corn production is:
A. The higher price signals suppliers that corn is becoming more valuable.
Explanation:
With corn as the major ingredient for the production of ethanol biofuel the demand and supply of corn increase to match with the increasing price. Suppliers, on their part, increase production by utilizing more acreage of land devoted for corn production. This is the typical interplay between the market forces that drive market equilibrium.
Answer:
a. As a result of the price increase in corn, the quantity supplied of corn would increase. At the same time, the amount of acreage used in corn production would increase.
The most likely cause of the change in the amount of acreage used in corn production is the higher price signals suppliers that corn is becoming more valuable.
Explanation:
Corn is an input for ethanol biofuel. An increase in demand for ethanol biofuel results in an increase in the demand for corn. As more ethanol is being produced, more corn is used in the production process.
The increase in the demand for corn increases the price of corn. As the price of corn increases, there is an increase in the quantity supplied of corn. Farmers are growing larger quantities of corn, which results in an increase in the acreage used for corn production.
An increase in price causes a movement along the supply curve. It does not cause a shift of the supply curve.
Consumers do not directly inform farmers of their increase in the demand for corn. Price serves as the market signal. Consumers are willing to pay a higher price for corn, showing that they value corn more.
The government does not generally regulate what specific crop is grown on private farmland. Furthermore, economists may publish predictions, but farmers are most responsive to changes in market price.
When the original poverty line was created, even some people living above the poverty line did not have access to a phone or running water in their homes.
Today, running water is expected. Beyond that, the norm for our contemporary society includes having cell phones and internet access. In fact, the U.S. government provides grants to bring high-speed in-home internet access to underserved rural areas.
Consider both the benefits and the shortcomings of the U.S. poverty line as a means of assessing poverty today.
The U.S. poverty line was originally set at
a. an income level of $1.90 per day.
b. sufficient income to provide for a family of four.
c. one-third of the median income in the United States.
d. three times the cost of a low-cost food plan.
Answer:
d. three times the cost of a low-cost food plan.
Explanation:
The U.S. poverty line is measured based on three times the cost of low-cost food plan. The people in the rural areas are considered more poor and they are provided with basic necessities. The U.S. government takes initiatives to encourage rural population to contribute their expertise and strengths in some projects. They provide welfare benefit to those who are needy and can not survive on their earnings.
Vegas Corp. is a U.S. firm that exports most of its products to Canada. It historically invoiced its products in Canadian dollars to accommodate the importers. However, it was adversely affected when the Canadian dollar weakened against the U.S. dollar. Since Vegas did not hedge, its Canadian dollar receivables were converted into a relatively small amount of U.S. dollars. After a few more years of continual concern about possible exchange rate movements, Vegas called its customers and requested that they pay for future orders with U.S. dollars instead of Canadian dollars. At this time, the Canadian dollar was valued at $.81. The customers decided to oblige, since the number of Canadian dollars to be converted into U.S. dollars when importing the goods from Vegas was still slightly smaller than the number of Canadian dollars that would be needed to buy the product from a Canadian manufacturer. Based on this situation, has transaction exposure changed for Vegas Corp.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Transaction exposure is the uncertainty
which is faced by businesses that are involved in international trade. It occurs when there's fluctuation in the exchange rates after a financial obligation has been done by a firm.
From the question above, we can agree that there will be a change in transaction exposure for the company as there'll be a reduction in the transaction exposure. This is because future orders will be in U.S. dollars instead of Canadian dollars.
A holiday sales flyer advertised a video game system for a significantly reduced price and
video game with purchase. Later that day, the sales associate told you that the store is out of
both items. Instead, you were offered a different system and games at full retail prices. What is this type of fraud called?
Answer: Bait and switch
Explanation:
The type of fraud here is referred to as the bait and switch fraud. This fraud occurs when customers are told about the low prices and quality of a product but aren't available when customers want to purchase such products and they're then given products that are costlier or products that are of lesser quality.
This can be seen in the question when the sales associate advertised the video game system for a reduced price which wasn't available when customers wanted to buy but were offered a game that was costlier.
At the end of April, Cavy Company had completed Jobs 766 and 765.

Determine the balance on the job cost sheets for each job.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
The balance on the job cost sheets for each job will be:
Job 765:
Direct materials = $6160
Direct labor = $1848
Overhead cost = 22 × $107 = $2354
Total job cost = $6160 + $1848 + $2354 = $10362
Job 766:
Direct materials = $13338
Direct labor = $4212
Overhead cost = 78 × $107 = $8346
Total job cost = $13338 + $4212 + $8346 = $25896
