Answer: $300,000
Explanation:
Opportunity cost is the value of the best available to you .An opportunity cost is mostly equal to the current market value.Given, original cost of $200,000, market value of $300,000, net book value of $200,000, a recent offer to purchase for $250,000.
Highest value = market value = $300,000
Hence, the opportunity cost of land that should be considered as $300,000.
When the number of units in work in process and finished goods inventories decrease, absorption costing net operating income will typically be greater than variable costing net operating income.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
b. False
Explanation:
The difference between absorption costing net operating income and variable costing net operating income lies in the fixed costs deferred in closing inventory.
If Production is greater than Sales - Increase in Finished Goods Inventory, Absorption costing net operating income will typically be greater than Variable costing net operating income.
However, If Production is less than Sales - Decrease in Finished Goods Inventory, Absorption costing net operating income will typically be less than Variable costing net operating income.

Dervish Company uses LIFO for all of its inventories. During its second quarter of 2009, Dervish experienced a LIFO liquidation. Dervish fully expects to replace the liquidated inventory in the early part of the third quarter. How should Dervish report the inventory temporarily liquidated on its income statement for the second quarter
Answer: The cost of the goods that are sold for the second quarter should consist of the expected replacement cost of the goods that are temporarily liquidated.
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Dervish Company uses LIFO for all of its inventories and that during its second quarter of 2009, Dervish experienced a LIFO liquidation. We are further told that Dervish fully expects to replace the liquidated inventory in the early part of the third quarter.

Studies on a machine that molds plastic water pipe indicate that when it is injecting 1-inch-diameter pipe, the process standard deviation is 0.05 inches. The 1-inch pipe has a specification of 1 inch plus or minus 0.10 inch. What is the process capability index ( Cpk) if the long-run process mean is 1 inch?
Answer:
0.67
Explanation:
Given the following :
Process standard deviation(sd) = 0.05
Mean (m) = 1
specification of 1 inch plus or minus 0.10 inch
Upper specification limit(USL) = 1 + 0.1 = 1.1
Lower specification limit (LSL) = 1 - 0.1 =. 0.9
Cpk = min [[(m - USL) / 3(sd)], [(m - LSL) / 3(sd)]]
Cpk = min [[(1 - 1.1)/3(0.05)], [(1-0.9)/3(0.05)]]
Cpk = min[ -0.1/0.15], [ 0.1 / 0.15]
Cpk = min(-0.67, 0.67)

Explain why the following are examples of monopolistic competition.
a) There are a number of fast-food restaurants in town, and they compete fiercely. Some restaurants cook their hamburgers over open flames. Others fry their hamburgers. In addition, some serve broiled fish sandwiches, while others serve fried fish sandwiches. A few serve ice cream cones for dessert, while others offer frozen ice cream pies.
b) There are a vast number of colleges and universities across the country. Each competes for top students. All offer similar courses and programs, but some have better programs in business, while others have stronger programs in the arts and humanities. Still others are academically stronger in the sciences.
Answer: In both situations, several companies are offering similar but not identical products, which means there is an imperfect competition.
Explanation:
In businesses, monopolistic competition occurs if different businesses offer differentiated products. This means that even when products are similar they have unique characteristics that cause one product cannot replace others. This occurs in the two examples presented because features such as different methods to cook hamburgers, or products such as fish sandwiches or ice cones in the first example make each of the restaurants to have differentiated products. This also applies to the second example, as some colleges are better in business, others in arts, others in science, etc.
Moreover, in monopolistic competition, there is imperfect competition because due to the differences in products the product of one business cannot directly compete or replace the products of another. Also, this causes the prices can be increased.

Suppose when a monopolist produces 50 units its average revenue is $8 per unit, its marginal revenue is $4 per unit, its marginal cost is $4 per unit, and its average total cost is $3 per unit. What can we conclude about this monopolist? a. The monopolist is currently maximizing profits, and its total profits are $200. b. The monopolist is currently maximizing profits, and its total profits are $250. c. The monopolist is not currently maximizing its profits; it should produce more units and charge a lower price to maximize profit. d. The monopolist is not currently maximizing its profits; it should produce fewer units and charger a higher price to maximize profit.
Answer:
b. The monopolist is currently maximizing profits, and its total profits are $250
Explanation:
The computation of monopolist is shown below:-
The monopolist is producing 50 units ate which are
MR = $4
Price = $8
MC = $4
ATC = $3
This applies that
MR = MC
while
P > ATC
So the monopolist is making a profit by making profit-maximizing quantity.
Total profits are (P - ATC) × Q
= (8 - 3) × 50
= $250
Hence, b option is correct

D) XYZ Dry Cleaners, Inc., whose shareholders all work on the premises and also offer financial advice to customers who request it.
Answer:
C) A child prodigy for whom his mother, as custodian, opened an account at a major securities firm.
Explanation:
The Uniform Securities Act is statute that guides state on how they design their securities laws. The Security and Exchange Commission set up these guides to protect investors from securities fraud at the state level
According to the Uniform Securities Act a person is an individual, trust, corporation, unincorporated company, government, or a division of government that enters into a legal contract.

Liam is willing to buy the last ticket to the avant premier of Star Wars for $15, while Alexander is willing to pay $20. Liam is first in line and buys a ticket for $15. Liam could sell his ticket to Alexander for $18, but he can't because of government regulation preventing the reselling of tickets. The regulation, then, is causing:
Answer:
Potential total surplus to increase.
Explanation:
As we know that:
Producer Surplus = Market value - Minimum price to sell
This means that for Liam:
Market value at which he can sell the ticket was $18 and the minimum price was $15
By putting values, we have:
Liam's surplus = $18 - $15 = $3
Now
Consumer Surplus = Consumer willing to Pay - Consumer Paid
For Alexander, the amount he was willing to pay was $20 and what he actually paid was $18 if the regulation hasn't intervened.
Alexander's surplus = $20 - $18 = $2
This means that the regulation prevents the increase in the potential total surplus and this has increased the dead weight loss of $5.

There are 120 mangoes in a basket and 168 mangoes in another basket.
Find the greatest number of mangoes which are to be taken out at a time
from each basket so that both of them will be emptied simultaneously.
Answer:
The greatest number of mangoes which are to be taken out at a time from each basket so that both of them emptied simultaneously is the number of mangoes in each basket which is 120 mangoes for one basket and 168 mangoes for the other basket
Explanation:
Given that the number of mangoes in one basket = 120 mangoes
Also, the number of mangoes in another basket = 168 mangoes
The greatest number of mangoes, X and Y that are to taken out from each basket so that both of them will empty simultaneously is found as follows;
We note that the ratio of the number of mangoes in both baskets are;
120:168 = 5:7
Therefore, we have;
5 × Y = 120
Y = 20/5 = 24
Similarly, we have;
7 × X = 168
X = 168/7 = 24
We can take 5 mangoes from one basket and 7 mangoes from the other basket 24 times, for both mangoes to empty the same time
We can also take 5×12 = 60 mangoes twice from one basket and 7 × 12 = 84 mangoes twice from the other basket to empty the baskets
We can also take 120 mangoes one from one basket and 168 mangoes one from the other basket to empty the baskets.
Therefore, the greatest number of mangoes which are to be taken out at a time from each basket so that both of them emptied simultaneously is the number of mangoes in each basket which is 120 mangoes for one basket and 168 mangoes for the other basket.

Which of the following is a true statement? A. Adverse selection occurs after a transaction has taken place in insurance markets. B. The FDIC has reduced the problem of moral hazard but not the problem of adverse selection. C. The FDIC has reduced the number of depositors who have lost savings, but in doing so, has inadvertently encouraged banks to make riskier loans. D. Moral hazard is a problem that occurs before a transaction takes place when asymmetric information is a problem.

A real estate office handles a 80-unit apartment complex. When the rent is $550 per month, all units are occupied. For each $25 increase in rent, however, an average of one unit becomes vacant. Each occupied unit requires an average of $50 per month for service and repairs. What rent should be charged to obtain a maximum profit
Answer:
The real estate should charge $1,300 to obtain maximum profit.
Explanation:
We can make K to represent the number of unit apartment occupied.
This means that the total rent the real estate office is getting can be denoted by;
{(550 + 25(80 - K)} K - 50K
Maximizing the above equation, we have;
y = 550K + 2,000K - 25K^2 - 50K
Collect like terms
= 2,500K - 25K^2
y' = (2,500K - 25K^2)' = 2,500 - 50K
y = 0
2,500 - 50K = 0
2,500 = 50K
K= 50
Rent is therefore;
Rent = 550 + (80 - K)25, where K is 50
= 550 + (80 - 50)25
= 550 + (30)25
= 550 + 750
= $1,300

Bonnie's Ice Cream is expecting its ice cream sales to decline due to the increased interest in healthy eating. Thus, the company has announced that it will be reducing its annual dividend by 2 percent a year for the next five years. After that, it will maintain a constant dividend of $2 a share. Last year, the company paid $2.35 per share. What is this stock worth to you if you require a 9.5 percent rate of return
Answer:
the stock worth is $21.90
Explanation:
Given that;
A company announced that it will be reducing its annual dividend by 2 percent a year for the next five years.
and after that it will maintain a constant dividend of $2 a share.
Also last year, the company paid $2.35 per share.
The objective is to determine the stock worth if there is a requirement of 9.5 percent rate of return.
The price of the stock = $2/0.095
The price of the stock =21.0526
The stock worth is the present value of the price which can be expressed as:
[tex]P = (2.35 \times (1 - 0.02)) \begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{1 - (\dfrac{1 + (-0.02) }{1+0.095})^5 }{0.095-(-0.02)} \end {pmatrix}+ \dfrac{21.0526}{(1+0.095)^5}[/tex]
[tex]P = (2.35 \times (0.98)) \begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{1 - (\dfrac{0.98}{1.095})^5 }{0.115} \end {pmatrix}+ \dfrac{21.0526}{(1.095)^5}[/tex]
[tex]P = (2.303) \begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{1 - (0.894977)^5 }{0.115} \end {pmatrix}+ \dfrac{21.0526}{1.574}[/tex]
[tex]P = (2.303) \begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{1 -0.574195 }{0.115} \end {pmatrix}+ \dfrac{21.0526}{1.574}[/tex]
[tex]P = (2.303) \begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{0.425805 }{0.115} \end {pmatrix}+ \dfrac{21.0526}{1.574}[/tex]
[tex]P = (2.303) (3.702652174)+ \dfrac{21.0526}{1.574}[/tex]
[tex]P = 8.5272+ \dfrac{21.0526}{1.574}[/tex]
P = $21.90
Therefore , the stock worth is $21.90
