Answer:
c. liable on the ground that Mesa is an intended third-party beneficiary
Explanation:
In a contract, the third-party beneficiary is a business or a person that benefits from the agreement and the terms of the contract that is made between the two other parties. According to law, third-party beneficiary have certain rights which they can enforced if the contract is not fulfilled.
In the context, Mesa is a third party beneficiary. The Mesa County enters into a contract with New Construct Inc. to construct a court house. Now New Construct Inc. again hires the firm Odell to excavate the land site.
While excavating Odell damages few nearby properties, so Mesa County files a law suit against Odell. But Odell argues that Odell is not in agreement with Mesa County or have not entered into with any contract with the County, so Mesa cannot sue the excavator.
But the court hold that as Mesa County is the third party beneficiary of the contract and have certain rights, Odell is held liable for the loss and should compensate for the loss to the County.

Since 0 units delivered in the march month and if we multiplied the price per unit with the march units i.e. 0 so the answer should be zero only
Fothergill Company makes 40,000 units per year of a part it uses in the products it manufactures. The unit product cost of this part is computed as follows:
Direct materials $23.40
Direct labor 22.30
Variable manufacturing overhead 1.40
Fixed manufacturing overhead 24.60
Unit product cost $71.70
An outside supplier has offered to sell the company all of these parts it needs for $59.10 a unit. If the company accepts this offer, the facilities now being used to make the part could be used to make more units of a product that is in high demand. The additional contribution margin on this other product would be $390,000 per year. If the part were purchased from the outside supplier, all of the direct labor, direct materials and variable manufacturing overhead costs of the part would be avoided. However, $21.90 of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost being applied to the part would continue even if the part were purchased from the outside supplier. This fixed manufacturing overhead cost would be applied to the company's remaining products.
Required:
a. How much of the unit product cost of $71.70 is relevant in the decision of whether to make or buy the part?
b. What is the net total dollar advantage or (disadvantage) of purchasing the part rather than making it? (remember that the facility could be used to produce a different product if we purchased the parts from the outside).
c. What is the maximum amount the company should be willing to pay an outside supplier per unit for the part if the supplier commits to supplying all 40,000 units required each year?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a)
cost per unit
= direct materials + direct labor + variable manufacturing overheard + fixed manufacturing over eard
= $23.40 + $22.30 + $1.40 + ($24.60 - $21.90)
= $49.80
b)
The net advantage is
= manufacturing cost savings + addition contribution margin - cost of purchase of part
= $1,992,000 (40,000 ×$49.80) + $390,000 - $2,364,000 (40,000 × $59.10)
= $18,000
c)
total benefit is
= $1,992,000 + $390,000
= $2,382,000
Now
maximum amount per unit is
= $2,382,000 ÷ 40000
= $59.55

Gross domestic product understates the total production of final goods and services because of the omission of inflation. intermediate goods. exports. the underground economy.
Answer:
the underground economy
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is defined as the monetary value of all goods and services that a country produces within a given period.
It is estimated by using income, expenditure, and production in markets.

In effect these are not reported in GDP so GDP is understated.
According to Gordon Tullock monopoly:_________
a. profits or rents are subject to rent seeking the welfare cost triangle
b. is subject to rent seeking X-inefficiency
c. is something that differentiates government monopolies from private monopolies
d. the theory of monopoly is superior to the theory of perfect competition
Answer:
a. profits or rents are subject to rent seeking the welfare cost triangle
Explanation:
Monopolies are businesses that have sole control of the supply and pricing of a product. Dead weight loss used to be regarded as consumer surplus that does not affect the amount of product that a monopolist can provide.
Gordon Tullock however argued that loss also occurs when businesses are seeking to be a monopoly. There is an associated cost on obtaining and maintaining a monopoly called rent seeking.
Also an additional cost as result of dead weight loss due to payment of tarrif. This can result from net welfare benefit or loss as a result of government policy change (this is referred to as welfare triangle).

Answer:
True or False Statements about the conceptual framework:
(a) False: The fundamental qualitative characteristics that make accounting information useful are relevance and faithful representation, which suggest materiality and completeness respectively.
(b) False: Relevant information must also be material in a financial statement user's decision, in addition to having predictive and confirmatory values.
(c) False: It is information that is relevant that is characterized as having predictive or confirmatory value, and not information that shows faithful representation.
(d) False: Comparability also refers to comparisons of a firm over time (which is appropriately described as consistency). This is in addition to the similar reporting of information by different companies.
(e) False: Enhancing characteristics do not relate only to faithful representation but also to relevance.
(f) True.
Explanation:
Faithful representation implies completeness. Relevance means that the disclosure will attract important consideration and is material to the matter. Therefore, users of financial reports base their decisions on relevant information and not irrelevant details.

Assume that you invest 5 percent of your salary and receive the full 5 percent match from East Coast Yachts. What EAR do you earn from the match
Answer:
The EAR you earn from the match is 100%.
Explanation:
Since a full 5 percent match will be received if 5 percent of your salary is invested, this implies that 100% will be earned by you from the match up to 5%.
For example, if 5 percent of your salary that you put in is $200, the East Coast Yachts will match the $200. This indicates that effective annual return (EAR) earned by you from the match is 100%.
Therefore, the EAR you earn from the match is 100%.

Big Canyon Enterprises has bonds on the market making annual payments, with 16 years to maturity, a par value of $1,000, and a price of $957. At this price, the bonds yield 9 percent. What must the coupon rate be on the bonds
Answer:
8.48%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What must the coupon rate be on the bonds
First step is to find the coupon rate of the bond.
Coupon payment = $957 = C(PVIFA9.0%,16) + $1,000(PVIF9.0%,16)
Solving for the coupon payment will give us C= $84.83
Now let calculate the coupon rate using this formula
Coupon rate= Coupon payment/ Par value
Let plug in the formula
Coupon rate = $84.83 / $1,000
Coupon rate = .0848*100
Coupon rate =8.48%
Therefore the coupon rate on the bonds is 8.48%
You have $20,000 to invest in a stock portfolio. Your choices are Stock X with an expected return of 14.3 percent and Stock Y with an expected return of 8.1 percent. Your goal is to create a portfolio with an expected return of 12.5 percent. All money must be invested. How much will you invest in Stock X
Answer:
$14,194
Explanation:
Wy + Wx = 1
Wy*Ry + Wx*Rx = 12.5%
So, let input the values
Wy*8.1% + (1-Wy)*14.3% = 12.5%
Wy*8.1% + 14.3%-14.3%*Wy = 12.5%
14.3%*Wy - Wy*8.1% = 1.8%
Wy*6.2% = 1.8%
Wy = 0.2903
Weight of X in portfolio = 1 - 0.2903
Weight of X in portfolio = 0.7097
Money invested in stock X = $20,000*0.7097
Money invested in stock X = $14,194

Downtown Stores can issue equity at a flotation cost of 8.76 percent and debt at 5.93 percent. The firm currently has a debt-equity ratio of .37 but prefers a ratio of .35. What should this firm use as their weighted average flotation cost
Answer:
8.03%
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
We know that
Total capital = Debt + Equity
= 0.35 + 1
= 1.35
Now
Weight of debt(Wd) = Value of debt ÷ Total capital
= 0.35 ÷ 1.35
Weight of equity(We) = 1 ÷ 1.35
Now Weighted average flotation cost is:
= Flotation cost of equity × weight of equity + Flotation cost of debt × Weight of debt
= (8.76% × 1 ÷ 1.35) + (5.93% × 0.35 ÷ 1.35)
= 8.03%

Bramble Corp. required production for June is 222000 units. To make one unit of finished product, three pounds of direct material Z are required. Actual beginning and desired ending inventories of direct material Z are 390000 and 420000 pounds, respectively. How many pounds of direct material Z must be purchased
Answer:
Purchases= 696,000 pounds
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production= 222,000 units.
To make one unit of a finished product, three pounds of direct material Z are required.
To calculate the purchases of direct material, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Purchases= 222,000*3 + 420,000 - 390,000
Purchases= 696,000 pounds
