Answer:
a) the central bank would have to decrease the money supply which would decrease output.
Explanation:
In the case when the long run price would fall due to the reduction in the aggregate demand and there is a rise of short run aggregate supply so the central bank would have to reduce the money supply due to this it automatically reduced the output as it shows the direct relation between the money supply and the output
Therefore the correct option is a.
ABC issued callable bonds on January 1, 2018. ABC's accountant has projected the following amortization schedule from issuance until maturity: Date Cash Paid Interest Expense Increase in Carrying Value Carrying Value 1/1/2018 $194,758 6/30/2018 $7,000 $7,790 $790 195,548 12/31/2018 7,000 7,822 822 196,370 6/30/2019 7,000 7,855 855 197,225 12/31/2019 7,000 7,889 889 198,114 6/30/2020 7,000 7,925 925 199,039 12/31/2020 7,000 7,961 961 200,000 What is the annual stated interest rate on the bonds
Answer:
7%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the annual stated interest rate on the bonds
Using this formula
Bonds annual stated interest rate=Cash paid/Ending carrying value*2 payments per year
Let plug in the formula
Bonds annual stated interest rate=$7,000 / $200,000 × 2 payments per year
Bonds annual stated interest rate=0.07*100
Bonds annual stated interest rate= 7%
Therefore the annual stated interest rate on the bonds is 7%
Beloved Baby Company manufactures and sells children's strollers. Each stroller requires eight screws. For September, Beloved Baby Company will begin September with 360 screws in its beginning inventory. Beloved Baby Company has budgeted stroller sales of 560 strollers, while 590 strollers are scheduled to be produced. How many screws should Beloved Baby Company purchase in September
Answer:
4,360
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How many screws should Beloved Baby Company purchase in September
Using this formula
Screws to purchased in September=(Production* per screws required)- Beginning Inventory
Let plug in the formula
Screws to purchased in September=(590 × 8)-360
Screws to purchased in September= 4,720 - 360 Screws to purchased in September= 4,360
Therefore The numbers of screws that Beloved Baby Company should purchase in September is 4,360

Copper Hill Inc. manufactures laser printers within a relevant range of production of 70,000 to 100,000 printers per year. The following partially completed manufacturing cost schedule has been prepared:
Complete the following cost schedule: Round your answers to two decimal places.
Number of Printers Produced 70,000 90,000 100,000 Total costs: Total variable costs $350,000 $fill in the blank 1 $fill in the blank 2 Total fixed costs 630,000 $fill in the blank 3 $fill in the blank 4 Total costs $980,000 $fill in the blank 5 $fill in the blank 6 Cost per unit: Variable cost per unit $fill in the blank 7 $fill in the blank 8 $fill in the blank 9 Fixed cost per unit $fill in the blank 10 $fill in the blank 11 $fill in the blank 12 Total cost per unit $fill in the blank 13 $fill in the blank 14 $fill in the blank 15
Answer:
70,000 90,000 100,000
Total variable costs $350,000 $450,000 $500,000
Total fixed costs $630,000 $630,000 $630,000
Total Costs $980,000 $1,080,000 $1,130,000
variable costs per unit $5 $5 $5
fixed cost costs per unit $9 $7 $6.30
total cost per unit $14 $12 $11.30
Explanation:
Fixed costs are costs that do not vary with output. e,g, rent, mortgage payments
If production is zero or if production is a million, Mortgage payments do not change - it remains the same no matter the level of output.
Hourly wage costs and payments for production inputs are variable costs
Variable costs are costs that vary with production
If a producer decides not to produce any output, there would be no need to hire labour and thus no need to pay hourly wages.
fixed cost would remain the same regardless of the number of output. Fixed cost would be $630,000 for 90,000 and 10,000 unit of output
fixed cost per unit = total fixed cost / output
$630,000 / 70,000 = $9
$630,000 / 90,000 = $7
$630,000 / 100,000 = $6.30
to determine the total variable cost for quantities, 90,000 and 10,000, the average variable cost has to be determined
Average variable cost = total variable cost / output
$350,000 / 70,000 = $5
Average total cost = average fixed cost + average variable cost
total variable cost for output 90,000 = $5 x 90,000 = $450,000
total variable cost for output 100,000 = $5 x 100,000 = $500,000
total cost = total fixed cost + total variable cost
total cost for output 90,000 = $450,000 + $630,000 = $1,080,000
total cost for output 100,000 = $500,000 + $630,000 = $1,130,000
Machinery purchased for $150,000 by Tom Brady Co. in 2010 was originally estimated to have a life of 12 years with a salvage value of $24,000 at the end of that time. Depreciation has been recorded for 7 years on this basis. In 2017, it is determined that the total estimated life should be 15 years with a salvage value of $18,000 at the end of that time. Assume straight-line depreciation.
Instructions:
Determine the depreciation expense for 2017.
Answer:
$7,312.50
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense for 2017 is shown below:
Book Value is
= Cost - Accumulated Depreciation
= $150,000 - {[($150,000 - $24,000) ÷ 12 ] × 7y}
= $150,000 - [($126,000 ÷ 12 ) × 7]
= $150,000 - ($10,500 × 7)
= $150,000 - $73,500
= $76,500
Now the depreciation expense for 2017 :
= ($76,500 - $18,000) ÷ (15 - 7) years
= $58,500 ÷ 8 years
= $7,312.50
The Ring Division of A1d-Y6z Company reported the following information for May: selling price per unit .................... $35 variable costs per unit ................... $12 turnover .................................. 2.50 residual income ........................... $229,600 margin .................................... 22% units sold ................................ 40,000 Calculate the number of units the Ring Division needed to sell in May in order for the residual income in May to be $505,600.
Answer:
52,000 units
Explanation:
Selling price = $35*40,000 = $1,400,000
Variable cost = $12 * 40,000 = $480,000
Contribution margin = $1,400,000 - $480,000 = $920,000
Fixed cost = Residual income + Contribution
Fixed cost = $920,000 - $229,600
Fixed cost = $690,400
Sales to earn residual income = [Fixed cost + Desired profit] / Contribution per unit
Sales to earn residual income = [$690,400 + $505,600] / $35 - $12
Sales to earn residual income = $1,196,000 / $23
Sales to earn residual income = 52,000 units
Finerly Corporation sells cosmetics through a network of independent distributors. Finerly shipped cosmetics to its distributors and is considering whether it should record $220,000 of revenue upon shipment of a new line of cosmetics. Finerly expects the distributors to be able to sell the cosmetics, but is uncertain because it has little experience with selling cosmetics of this type. Finerly is committed to accepting the cosmetics back from the distributors if the cosmetics are not sold. How much revenue should Finerly recognize upon delivery to its distributors
Answer:
The amount of revenue Finerly should recognize upon delivery to its distributors is $0.
Explanation:
From the question, the following two very important points can be observed:
1. Finerly expects the distributors to be able to sell the cosmetics, but is uncertain because it has little experience with selling cosmetics of this type.
2. Finerly is committed to accepting the cosmetics back from the distributors if the cosmetics are not sold.
Since there is an uncertainty that the the distributors will be able to sell the cosmetics and Finerly is committed to accepting them back from the distributors if they are not sold, these imply that the amount of sales revenue cannot be known or reasonably estimated until when the distributors actually sell the cosmetics.
Therefore, the amount of revenue Finerly should recognize upon delivery to its distributors is $0.
Forever Ready Company expects to operate at 88% of productive capacity during May. The total manufacturing costs for May for the production of 29,040 batteries are budgeted as follows:
Direct materials $225,100

On January 8, 2012, Speedway Delivery Service purchased a truck at a cost of $65,000. Before placing the truck in service, Speedway spent $4,000 painting it, $2,500 replacing tires, and $8,000 overhauling the engine. The truck should remain in service for five years and have a residual value of $6,000. The truck’s annual mileage is expected to be 22,000 miles in each of the first four years and 12,000 miles in the fifth year—100,000 miles in total. In deciding which depreciation method to use, David Greer, the general manager, requests a depreciation schedule for each of the depreciation methods (straight-line, units-of-production, and double-declining-balance).
Requirements
1. Prepare a depreciation schedule for each depreciation method, showing asset cost, depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and asset book value.
2. Speedway prepares financial statements using the depreciation method that reports the highest net income in the early years of asset use. For income tax purposes, the company uses the depreciation method that minimizes income taxes in the early years. Consider the first year that Speedway uses the truck. Identify the depreciation methods that meet the general manager’s objectives, assuming the income tax authorities permit the use of any of the methods.
Answer:
Speedway Delivery Service

2. The straight-line method reports the highest net income in the early years while the double-declining-balance method minimizes the income taxes in the early years.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
January 8, 2012:
Purchase of a delivery truck = $65,000
Cost of painting the truck = 4,000
Cost of replacing the tires = 2,500
Cost of overhauling the engine 8,000
Total costs = $79,500
Residual value = 6,000
Depreciable amount = $73,500
Estimated useful life = 5 years
Straight-line depreciation Method:
Annual depreciation expense = $14,700 ($73,500/5)
Units-of-production Method:
Depreciation rate per mile = $0.735 ($73,500/100,000)
For 22,000 miles, depreciation expense = $16,170 ($0.735 * 22,000)
For 12 ,000 miles, depreciation expense = $8,820 ($0.735 * 12,000)
Double-declining-balance method:
Depreciation rate = 100/5 * 2 = 40%
First year's depreciation expense = $31,800 ($79,500 * 40%)
Declined balance = $47,700 ($79,500 - $31,800)
Second year's depreciation expense = $19,080 ($47,700 * 40%)
Declined balance = $28,620 ($47,700 - $19,080)
Third year's depreciation expense = $11,448 ($28,620 * 40%)
Declined balance = $17,172 ($28,620 - $11,448)
Fourth year's depreciation expense = $6,869 ($17,172 * 40%)
Declined balance = $10,303 ($17,172 - $6,869)
Fifth year's depreciation expense = $4,303 ($10,303 - $6,000)

A male worker meets and regularly exceeds the work standards in the coding unit while the female workers in the unit usually, but not always, meet basic work standards. Based upon this information, the supervisor did not recommend a merit increase for the male worker since this increase would result in him receiving a higher wage than the female workers in the same unit. Given the scenario, determine which (if any) federal regulatory requirement has been violated
Answer:
The Federal regulatory requirement here which has been breached is Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Explanation:
Acording to SEC. 2000e-2. [Section 703]
"(a) Employer practices
It shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employer -
(1) to fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of such individual's race, color, religion, sex, or national origin; or
(2) to limit, segregate, or classify his employees or applicants for employment in any way which would deprive or tend to deprive any individual of employment opportunities or otherwise adversely affect his status as an employee, because of such individual's race, color, religion, sex, or national origin."
The supervisor might have been attempting to create equality. However, the results of the work stand out. By refusing to reward the male worker, the supervisor has discriminated against him on the basis of his gender. His work deserves merit. The work of the female worker does not.
Hence the supervisor is in violation of the statue refered above.

A continuous (rolling) budget A. presents the plan for a range of activity so that the plan can be adjusted for changes in activity levels. B. presents a statement of expectations for a period of time but does not present a firm commitment. C. presents the plan for only one level of activity and does not adjust to changes in the level of activity. D.drops the current month or quarter and adds a future month or quarter as the current month or quarter is completed. E. classifies budget requests by activity and estimates the benefits arising from each activity. A continuous budget has a constant time horizon and always looks ahead the same number of periods.
Answer:
D.drops the current month or quarter and adds a future month or quarter as the current month or quarter is completed.
Explanation:
A continuous (rolling) budget is one that varies over time. It attach another month to the end of the budget as one month expires. for example, If initial budget covers the months of January to December 2018, then you may add January 2019 after January 2018 has ended.
Hence, option D is the correct answer.

You have $12,000 to invest in a stock portfolio. Your choices are Stock X with an expected return of 14 percent and Stock Y with an expected return of 10 percent. Assume your goal is to create a portfolio with an expected return of 12.30 percent. How much money will you invest in Stock X and Stock Y? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)You have $12,000 to invest in a stock portfolio. Your choices are Stock X with an expected return of 14 percent and Stock Y with an expected return of 10 percent. Assume your goal is to create a portfolio with an expected return of 12.30 percent. How much money will you invest in Stock X and Stock Y? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
Investment in Stock X will be = $6900
Investment in Stock Y will be = $5100
Explanation:
The expected return of a portfolio is the function of the weighted average of the individual stocks' returns that form up the portfolio. The expected return of portfolio can be calculated as follows,
Portfolio Expected Return = wA * rA + wB * rB + ... + wN * rN
Where,
w represents the weight of each stock in the portfolior represents the return of each stock in the portfolioWe know the target return for our portfolio and the individual stock's returns. To calculate the investment in each stock, we need to calculate the weightage.
Let x be the weightage of investment in Stock X and (1 - x) be the weightage of investment in Stock Y.
0.1230 = x * 0.14 + (1 - x) * 0.1
0.1230 = 0.14x + 0.1 - 0.1x
0.1230 - 0.1 = 0.04x
0.023 / 0.04 = x
x = 0.575 or 57.5%
So, investment in Stock X will be = 0.575 * 12000 = $6900
Investment in Stock Y will be = 12000 - 6900 = $5100
On May 3, 2020, Sweet Company consigned 70 freezers, costing $450 each, to Remmers Company. The cost of shipping the freezers amounted to $890 and was paid by Sweet Company. On December 30, 2020, a report was received from the consignee, indicating that 35 freezers had been sold for $740 each. Remittance was made by the consignee for the amount due after deducting a commission of 6%, advertising of $200, and total installation costs of $330 on the freezers sold.
Required:
a. Compute the inventory value of the units unsold in the hands of the consignee.
b. Compute the profit for the consignor for the units sold.
c. Compute the amount of cash that will be remitted by the consignee.
Answer:
A. $16,195
B. $7,621
C. $23,816
Explanation:
a. Computation for the inventory value of the units unsold in the hands of the consignee.
Inventory value of the units unsold
First step is to calculate the Total inventory value
Inventory cost $31,500
(70 * $450)
Add Freight $890
Total inventory value $32,390
($31,500+$890)
Now let calculate the Inventory value of the units unsold
Inventory value of units unsold =($32,390 / 2)
Inventory value of units unsold =$16,195
Therefore the inventory value of the units unsold in the hands of the consignee is $16,195
b. Computation for the profit for the consignor for the units sold
Sales $25,900
(35 * $740)
Less Cost of unit sold ($16,195)
($32,390 / 2)
Less Commission ($1,554)
($25,900 * 6%)
Less Advertising ($200)
Less Installation cost ($330)
Profit for the consignor $7,621
Therefore the profit for the consignor for the units sold will be $7,621
c. Computation for the amount of cash that will be remitted by the consignee.
Sales $25,900
Less Commission ($1,554)
($25,900 * 6%)
Less Advertising ($200)
Less Installation cost ($330)
Cash remitted $23,816
Therefore the amount of cash that will be remitted by the consignee is $23,816

Overnight Publishing Company (OPC) has $2.5 million in excess cash. The firm plans to use this cash either to retire all of its outstanding debt or to repurchase equity. The firm’s debt is held by one institution that is willing to sell it back to OPC for $2.5 million. The institution will not charge OPC any transaction costs. Once OPC becomes an all-equity firm, it will remain unlevered forever. If OPC does not retire the debt, the company will use the $2.5 million in cash to buy back some of its stock on the open market. Repurchasing stock also has no transaction costs. The company will generate $1,300,000 of annual earnings before interest and taxes in perpetuity regardless of its capital structure. The firm immediately pays out all earnings as dividends at the end of each year. OPC is subject to a corporate tax rate of 35 percent, and the required rate of return on the firm’s unlevered equity is 20 percent. The personal tax rate on interest income is 25 percent, and there are no taxes on equity distribution. Assume there are no bankruptcy costs
a. What is the value of OPC if it chooses to retire all of its debt and become an unlevered firm? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to the nearest whole number, e.g., 1,234,567.)
b. What is the value of OPC if it decides to repurchase stock instead of retiring its debt? (Hint Use the equation for the value of a levered firm with personal tax on interest income i.e., V = V0 + (1 – [(1 – TC)/(1 – TB] * B-CB).) (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to the nearest whole number, e.g., 1,234,567.)
c. What is the value of OPC if the expected bankruptcy costs have a present value of $400,000? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to the nearest whole number, e.g., 1,234,567.)
a. Company value
b. Company value
c. Unlevered value Levered value
Answer:
A. $4,225,000
B. $4,558,333.33
C. $4,158,333.33
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine the value of OPC if it chooses to retire all of its debt and become an unlevered firm
Using this formula
VU= (EBIT)(1 – tC) / R0
Let plug in the formula
VU= ($1,300,000)(1 – .35) / .20
VU= $4,225,000
Therefore the value of OPC if it chooses to retire all of its debt and become an unlevered firm is $4,225,000
b. Calculation to determine the value of OPC if it decides to repurchase stock instead of retiring its debt
Using this formula
VL= VU+ {1 – [(1 – tC) / (1 – tB)}] × B
Let plug in the formula
VL= $4,225,000 + {1 – [(1 – .35) / (1 – .25)]} × $2,500,000
VL= $4,558,333.33
Therefore the value of OPC if it decides to repurchase stock instead of retiring its debt is $4,558,333.33
c. Calculation to determine the value of OPC if the expected bankruptcy costs have a present value of $400,000
Using this formula
VL= VU+ {1 – [(1 – tC) / (1 – tB)}] × B – C(B)
Let plug in the formula
VL= ($4,225,000 + {1 – [(1 – .35) / (1 – .25)]} × $2,500,000) –$400,000
VL= $4,158,333.33
Therefore the value of OPC if the expected bankruptcy costs have a present value of $400,000 is $4,158,333.33
Suppose Abercrombie & Fitch sells clothing in a monopolistically competitive market and that a farmer sells oranges in a perfectly competitive market.
1.) Draw the type of demand curve likely faced by Abercrombie & Fitch. Label this line DAF.
2.) Draw the type of demand curve faced by an individual orange farmer. Label this line DOranges. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects.
Answer:
Please check the attached images for the required demand curves
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopoly has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants
When firms are earning positive economic profit, in the long run, firms enter into the industry. This drives economic profit to zero
If firms are earning negative economic profit, in the long run, firms leave the industry. This drives economic profit to zero
in the long run, only normal profit is earned
Yard Tools manufactures lawnmowers, weed-trimmers, and chainsaws. Its sales mix and unit contribution margin are as follows. Sales Mix Unit Contribution Margin Lawnmowers 20 % $33 Weed-trimmers 50 % $22 Chainsaws 30 % $41 Yard Tools has fixed costs of $4,544,800. Compute the number of units of each product that Yard Tools must sell in order to break even under this product mix. Lawnmowers units Weed-trimmers units Chainsaws units
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin
Weighted average contribution margin= 0.2*33 + 0.5*22 + 0.3*41
Weighted average contribution margin= $29.9
Break-even point (units)= 4,544,800 / 29.9
Break-even point (units)= 152,000 units
Now, for each product:
Lawnmowers= 0.2*152,000=30,400
Weed-trimmers= 0.5*152,000= 76,000
Chainsaws= 0.3*152,000= 45,600
Recently, some college alumni started a moving service for students living on campus. They have 3 employees and are debating hiring one more. The hourly wage for an employee is $30 per hour. An average moving job takes 4 hours. The company currently does 3 moving jobs per week, but with one more employee, the company could manage 5 jobs per week. The company charges $100 for a moving job.
Instructions:
Round your answers to the nearest whole number.
a. The new employee's marginal product of labor is ______.
b. The value of that merginal product is ______.
c. The moving service should moving jobs ______- hire another worker.
Answer: a. 2
b. $200
c. Should not
Explanation:
a. The new employee's marginal product of labor is ______.
This will be:
= 5 - 3
= 2 moving jobs
b. The value of that marginal product is ______..
Since the company charges $100 for a moving job, the value of the marginal product will be:
= 2 × $100
= $200
c. The moving service should moving jobs ______- hire another worker
Marginal cost of moving 2 jobs will be:
= $30 × 4 × 2
= $240
Since the marginal cost is more than the marginal product, the company should not hire another worker.
A growing trend to "Buy American" may encourage law makers to increase political pressure for Washington to pass legislation for more restrictive quotas on Japanese car imports. In addition, a decline in the value of the US dollar would be instrumental in Toyota’s decision to build a manufacturing plant in the United States instead of continuing to export cars from Japan. If Toyota builds a plant, it’s decision would effect...
Answer: positive result from regulatory and economic environmental forces.
Explanation:
Based on the information given, if Toyota builds a plant, then the decision would reflect positive result from the regulatory and economic environmental forces.
The regulatory forces depend impact how an organization will operate. It is part of the external marketing environment of a company whereby the political efforts has an affect on a company's marketing effort.
In this case, since there is a growing trend to "Buy American", if Toyota builds a plant, rather than importing, it'll represent positive result from regulatory and economic environmental forces.
