1. Initial valuation of each asset:

Land = $3,526,460

Building = $1,511,340

2. The initial valuation of land = $5,449,800

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of purchased land and building = $5 million

Additional expenditures:

Title insurance $ 24,000

Legal fees for drawing the contract 9,000

Prorated property taxes for the period after acquisition 44,000

State transfer fees 4,800

Allowed additional costs:

Title insurance            $ 24,000

Legal fees for

drawing the contract      9,000

State transfer fees          4,800

Total additional costs $37,800

Total expenditure on the land and building = $5.037.8 million

Initial valuation of each asset:

Land = $3,526,460 ($5,037,800 * $4,200,000/$6,000,000)

Building = $1,511,340 ($5,037,800 * $1,800,000/$6,000,000)

Cost of land after the demolition of the building:

Initial purchase cost of land and building = $5 million

Additional cost = $37,800

Demolition costs = $330,000

Salvage of materials ($5,000)

Clearing and grading land = $87,000

Total cost of land = $5,449,800

The computation of the effective annual rate in each of the following cases is shown below;

a. For quarterly

Effective annual rate = (1+0.094 ÷ 4)^4 - 1

= 9.74%

b. For monthly

Effective annual rate = (1+0.184 ÷ 12)^12 - 1

= 20.03%

c. For daily

Effective annual rate = (1+0.144 ÷ 365)^365 - 1

= 15.49%

In this way it should be calculated and measured

Explanation:

LIFO means last in first out. It means that it is the last purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.

FIFO means first in, first out. It means that it is the first purchased inventory that is the first to be sold

Weighted average cost method calculates the cost of goods sold as the weighted average of cost of inventory

In periods of rising prices, later purchased goods would have a higher price. As a result, LIFO would report a lower net income while companies using FIFO would report the highest gross profit and net income.

Because of the high net income reported under FIFO, tax paid would be the highest too

The return on investment of the Gamma stock is:

a) 7%

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

January 1, 20X1 Purchase of common stock of Gamma Corporation = $100,000

Dividend received from Gamma Corporation stock = $3,000

December 31, 20X1, Sale of Gamma Corporation stock = $104,000

Capital gains from the sale of Gamma stock = $4,000 ($104,000 - $100,000)

Total returns from the Gamma stock = Dividend Plus Capital Gains

= $7,000 ($3,000 + $4,000)

Return on investment of the Gamma stock = 7% ($7,000/$100,000 * 100)

Answer: $800 less than standard for the achieved level of activity

Explanation:

A flexible budget variance refers to the difference that occurs between the results that are gotten by a flexible budget model and the actual results gotten.

Since the flexible-budget variance is $800 favorable for unit-related costs, this indicates that costs were $800 less than standard for the achieved level of activity.

Therefore, the correct option is D.

Answer:

For Capital Incentive manufacturing method = 26,623 Units

For Labor Incentive manufacturing method = 10,714 Units

Explanation:

We are asked to find out the annual break - even point in units if Sharpie uses the Capital Intensive Method and Labour intensive Method.

Solution:

1. For Capital Intensive Method:

Direct Materials = 10

Direct Labor  = 4

Variable MOH  = 5

Variable Selling =  4

Total Variable Cost = T = 23  

Selling Price = P = 100

Contribution Margin = M = P-T = 77

Fixed Overhead:

Fixed MOH = 1800000

Fixed Selling costs = 250000

Total Fixed Costs  = 2050000

Break Even Point in Units = Total Fixed Cost / M  = 26623

2. For Labor Intensive Method:

Direct Materials = 12

Direct Labor  = 12

Variable MOH  = 2

Variable Selling =  4

Total Variable Cost = T = 30

Selling Price = P = 100

Contribution Margin = M = P-T = 70

Fixed Overhead:

Fixed MOH = 500000

Fixed Selling costs = 250000

Total Fixed Costs  = 750000

Break Even Point in Units = Total Fixed Cost / M  = 10714

Answer: 770,000

Explanation:

Assuming materials are entered at the beginning of the process, the equivalent units materials will be:

Beginning work process = 40,000 units

Then equivalent units materials will be:

= 40000 + 730000

= 770000

Answer:

This action may be effective because commodity demand tends to be inelastic, so the higher prices may result in higher income for commodity producers, at least in the short term.

Explanation:

Essential commodities such as basic food items, gasoline, electricity, water, and other utilities, tend to have an inelastic demand simply because consumers cannot go without them, and they tend to prioritize these commodities over other goods and services.

This means that the higher prices caused by government intervention do not necessarily result in less demand, and the same amount of people buying the same amount of commodities at a higher price simply means a higher sales revenue for commodity producers.

Answer:

C. Responsiveness of quantity demanded to a percentage change in income.

Explanation:

Income elasticity is defined as the responsiveness of the quantity of a good demanded by an individual as his income changes, all other factors being constant.

Mathematically it is calculated as percentage change in quantity demanded divided by percentage change in income.

Income elasticity is used to find out if a good is a necessity or a luxury good.

The demand for goods that are a necessity does not change with a change in income.

However demand for a luxury good increases as income increases and vice versa

Answer:

only if we include environmental and social goals in the planning.

Explanation:

An economy is a function of how money, means of production and resources (raw materials) are carefully used to facilitate the demands and supply of goods and services to meet the unending needs or requirements of the consumers.

Hence, a region's or country's economy is largely dependent on how resources are being allocated and utilized, how many goods and services are to be produced, what should be produced, for whom they are to be produced for and how much money are to be spent by the consumers to acquire these goods and services.

Sustainable development can be defined as an idea or development model that is typically aimed at providing basic human needs such as food, fiber, textiles, etc., without compromising or jeopardizing the ability of future generations to create agricultural solutions to their own basic needs.

Generally, economic goals for sustainable development and growth of a country can be formulated only if environmental and social goals are included in the planning.

Answer:

c

Explanation:

Answer:

Year 1

b. Cost of goods sold

= Sales revenue - Gross profit

= 76,050 - 32,700

= $43,350

d. Operating expenses:

= Gross profit - Net income

= 32,700 - 14,130

= $18,570

Year 2

c. Gross Profit

= Sales revenue - Cost of goods sold

= 111,100 - 74,400

= $36,700

e. Operating expenses:

= Gross profit - Net income

= 36,700 - 30,070

= $6,630

a. Sales revenue

= Cost of goods sold + Gross profit

= 74,970 + 111,190

= $186,160

f. Net income

= Gross profit - Operating expense

= 111,190 - 49,980

= $61,210
