Alpha and Beta, two tiny islands in the Pacific, produce pearls and pineapples. The following production possibilities schedules describe their potential output in tons per year:
ATTACHMENT IS BELOW
Suppose Alpha and Beta agree that the terms of trade will be one for one and exchange 10 pearls for 10 pineapples.
a. If Alpha produced 6 pearls and 15 pineapples while Beta produced 30 pearls and 8 pineapples before they decided to trade, how many pearls would each be producing after trade? Assume that the two countries specialize according to their comparative advantage.
(i) Alpha: _____ pearls
(ii) Beta: _____ pearls
b. How much would the combined production of pineapples increase for the two islands due to specialization?
_____ pineapples
c. How much would the combined production of pearls increase?
_____ pearls
d. What is the post-trade consumption for each island?
Alpha consumes _____ pearls and ______ pineapples.
Beta consumes ______ pearls and ______pineapples.
Answers
Answer:
The opportunity cost of pearls for A is 2.5 pineapples and the opportunity cost of pearls for A is 0.27.
Explanation:
If Alpha produced 6 pearls and 15 pineapples, while B produced 30 pearls and 8 pineapples before the trade, we can calculate the opportunity cost for each island. For island Alpha, their opportunity cost will be:
6 pearls = 15 pineapples
1 pearl = 15/6 pineapples
1 pearl = 2.5 pineapples
Therefore, the opportunity cost of pearls for A is 2.5 pineapples
For island Beta, their opportunity cost will be:
30 pearls = 8 pineapples
1 pearl = 8/30 pineapples
1 pearl = 0.27 pineapples
Therefore, the opportunity cost of pearls for A is 0.27 pineapples
b)
It appears that A will increase production of pineapples from 15 pineapples to 25 pineapples, and due to their opportunity cost, will decrease pearl production from 6 pearls to 2 pearls
It appears that B will increase the production of pearls from 30 pearls to 40 pearls, and due to their opportunity cost, will decrease pineapple production from 8 pineapples to 4 pineapples.

Using Payment 1 information, we have:
Effective semiannual interest rate = 409 / 9,080 = 0.0450, or 4.50%
Effective annual interest rate = Effective semiannual interest rate * Number of semiannuals in a year = 4.50% * 2 = 9.0%
Therefore, the correct option a. 9.0%.
Project Management Practice ProblemBragg’s Bakery is building a new automated bakery downtown Sandusky. Here are the activities that need to be completed to get the new bakery built and the equipment installed.
ACTIVITYPREDECESSORNORMAL TIME (WEEK)CRASH TIME (WEEK)EXPEDITING COST/WEEKA-963000BA853500CA15104000DB,C532000EC1062500FD,E215000
Hint: I have directly provided the crashing cost per unit time.
a. What is the normal project length?
b. What is the critical path in this project?
c. Which activity will you choose to crash first to reduce the duration of the project by one week?
d. What is the project length if all activities are crashed to their minimum?
e. What is the slack for activity D?
Answers
Answer:
a. The normal project length is 36 weeks.
b. The critical path in this project is A-C-E-F.
c. The activity that you choose to crash first to reduce the duration of the project by one week is E because it has the least expediting cost/week amongst A, C, E, F.
d. The project length if all activities are crashed to their minimum is 23 weeks.
e. The slack for activity D is 5 weeks.
Explanation:
a) The normal length of the project = completion time of last activity = 36 weeks.
b) The criteria for critical activity:
[tex]LC_{i} = ES_{i} ,\\LC_{j} = ES_{j} ,\\[/tex]
[tex]ES_j - ES_i = LF_j - LF_{i} =[/tex] duration of the activity
where ES = Earliest start time, EF = Earliest finish time , LC = latest completion time, LF = latest finish time ,
The suffix- i refers to the preceding node, suffix-j refers to the succeeding node.
activities satisfying above all criteria are A, C, E, F
therefore critical path is A-C-E-F.
c) To reduce the project duration by 1 week. we should choose to crash among critical activities A, C, E, F. thus we choose to crash activity E because it has the least expediting cost/week amongst A, C, E, F.
d) if we crash all the activities to their minimum, then the project length = sum of crash time of all critical activities
= [6 + 10 + 6 + 1]
= 23 weeks.
e) The slack of activity d = LS - ES = 34 - 29
= 5 weeks
The critical path is given in the diagram,
Five individuals organized Miami Music Corporation on January 1. At the end of January 31, the following monthly financial data are available:
Total Revenues…………………………....... $131,000
Operating Expenses………………………… 90,500
Cash…………………………………………...........30,800
Accounts Receivable……………………… .25,300
Supplies……………………………………..........40,700
Accounts Payable…………………………... 25,700
Common Stock………………………………...30,600
Required:
a. Did Miami Music Corporation generate a profit? Which financial statement indicates this?
c. Does Miami Music Corporation have sufficient resources to pay its liabilities? Which financial statement indicates this?
Answers
Answer:
a. Profit(loss) = Total revenue - Total expenses
= 131,000 - 90,500
= $41,000
The company did in fact generate profit of $41,000 and this can be shown from the Income Statement which is where profit or loss is calculated.
b. A company uses its assets to pay off its liabilities so if the liabilities are less than the assets then the company is capable of paying off its liabilities:
Assets = Cash + Accounts Receivable + Supplies
= 30,800 + 25,300 + 40,700
= $96,800
Liabilities are just the Accounts Payable of $25,700.
Liabilities are less than Assets so Miami Music does indeed have sufficient resources to pay its liabilities.
This information comes from the Balance Sheet which is where assets and liabilities are shown.

You are planning to save for retirement over the next 25 years. To do this, you will invest $1,000 a month in a stock account and $700 a month in a bond account. The return of the stock account is expected to be 9 percent, and the bond account will pay 6 percent. When you retire, you will combine your money into an account with a return of 7 percent. How much can you withdraw each month from your account assuming a 20-year withdrawal period
Answers
Answer:
Monthly withdraw= $12,452.6
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the total accumulated at the moment of retirement. We will use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
Stock:
Monthly investment= $1,000
Interest rate= 0.09/12= 0.0075
Number of periods= 25*12= 300 months
FV= {1,000*[(1.0075^300) - 1]} / 0.0075
FV= $1,121,121.94
Bond:
Monthly investment= $700
Interest rate= 0.06/12= 0.005
Number of periods= 25*12= 300 months
FV= {700*[(1.005^300) - 1]} / 0.005
FV= 485,095.77
Total FV= 1,121,121.94 + 485,095.77
Total FV= $1,606,217.71
Now, the annual withdrawal:
Interest rate= 0.07/12= 0.005833
Number of months= 12*20= 240
Monthly withdraw= (FV*i) / [1 - (1+i)^(-n)]
Monthly withdraw= (1,606,217.71*0.005833) / [1 - (1.005833^-240)]
Monthly withdraw= $12,452.6

Menning Inc. uses a job-order costing system in which any underapplied or overapplied overhead is closed out to cost of goods sold at the end of the month. The company has provided the following data for June:
Direct materials $78,750
Direct labor cost $94,000
Manufacturing overhead cost incurred $61,275
Manufacturing overhead cost applied $65,800
Inventories: Beginning Ending
Work in process $17,500 $19,850
Finished goods $61,500 $38,250
The cost of goods sold that appears on the income statement for August and that has been adjusted for any underapplied or overapplied overhead is closest to: __________
a. $254,925
b. $263,975
c. $236,200
d. $259,450
Answers
Answer:
Adjusted COGS= $254,925
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the cost of goods manufactured:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 17,500 + 78,750 + 94,000 + 65,800 - 19,850
cost of goods manufactured= $236,200
Now, the COGS:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory
COGS= 61,500 + 236,200 - 38,250
COGS= $259,450
Finally, the over/under applied overhead and the adjustment:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 61,275 - 65,800
Overapplied overhead= $4,525
As overhead was overapplied, COGS must be reduced:
Adjusted COGS= 259,450 - 4,525
Adjusted COGS= $254,925

Steven Washington's weekly gross earnings for the week ending March 9 were $3,340, and her federal income tax withholding was $567.80. Assuming the social security tax rate is 6% and Medicare tax is 1.5% of all earnings, what is Washington's net pay?
Answers
Answer:
Washington's net pay was $ 2,564.28.
Explanation:
Given that Steven Washington's weekly gross earnings for the week ending March 9 were $ 3,340, and her federal income tax withholding was $ 567.80, assuming the social security tax rate is 6% and Medicare tax is 1.5% of all earnings, to determine what is Washington's net pay the following calculation must be performed:
(3,340 - 567.80) x (1 - 0.06 - 0.015) = X
2,772.2 x 0.925 = X
2,564.28 = X
Therefore, Washington's net pay was $ 2,564.28.
Benny is the manager of an office-support business that supplies copying, binding, and other services for local companies. He must replace a worn-out copy machine that is used for black-and-white copying. He is considering two machines, and each of these has a monthly lease cost plus a cost for each page that is copied. Machine 1 has a monthly lease cost of $619, and there is a cost of $0.030 per page copied. Machine 2 has a monthly lease cost of $675, and there is a cost of $0.028 per page copied. Customers are charged $.16 per page copied. If Benny expects to make 105,000 copies per month, what would be the monthly cost for each machine
Answers
Answer:
Machine one cost:
= Fixed cost + Variable cost
The Fixed cost is the lease cost and the variable cost is the cost per page copied. The number of pages is 105,000 and the cost per page for machine 1 is $0.030
= 619 + (0.030 * 105,000)
= $3,769 monthly
Machine two cost:
= 675 + (0.028 * 105,000)
= $3,615 monthly
Diamond Boot Factory normally sells its specialty boots for $22 a pair. An offer to buy 100 boots for $15 per pair was made by an organization hosting a national event in Norfolk. The variable cost per boot is $9, and special stitching will add another $1 per pair to the cost.
Determine the differential income or loss per pair of boots from selling to the organization.
Answers
Answer: $5.00
Explanation:
Differential income per pair is:
= Revenue per pair - Total cost per pair
= Selling price of pair - (Variable cost + Additional stitching cost)

A company has 1000000 shares outstanding trading at $15 a piece. Managers believe that the discount rate appropriate for the risk borne is 15% and total cash flows, expected to be $1 million next year, will rise by 5% per year indefinitely. Discuss a strategy that is beneficial to the current shareholders.
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Knowing the value of the equity and establishing the intrinsic worth of the share may help you develop a perfect strategy that will benefit the current shareholders.
Value of the equity = Cashflow÷(discount rate - growth rate)
= $1,000,000 ÷ (15%-5%)
= $1,000,000 ÷ (10%)
= $10,000,000
Intrinsic value per share = Value of the equity ÷ Shares outstanding
= $10,000,000 ÷ 1,000,000
= $10
For the share, The intrinsic value = $10
However, since the current trading share price is $15, then we can posit that the share price is over-valued.
As a result, the perfect strategy that will be beneficial to the shareholders is for the current shareholders to sell the shares (short selling at a high price and purchasing at a low price).
Summer 20 Corp estimates overhead based on direct labor hours and has given you the following information:
Estimated Manufacturing Overhead Costs 2020 $405,000
Estimated Direct Labor Hours for 2020 220,000
Actual Direct Labor Hours for 2020 202,000
Manufacturing Overhead Account Debit Entries total $380,000
1. Determine the predetermined overhead allocation rate stated with cents.
2. Determine the amount of manufacturing overhead that was allocated.
3. Calculate the amount Summer 20 Corp is over or under allocated during the year.
Answers
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
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 405,000 / 220,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.841 per DLH
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 1.841*202,000
Allocated MOH= $371,882
Finally, the over/under allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 380,000 - 371,882
Underapplied overhead= $8,118

Ortega Company manufactures computer hard drives. The market for hard drives is very competitive. The current market price for a computer hard drive is $54. Ortega would like a profit of $14 per drive. What target cost Ortega should set to accomplish this objective
Answers
Answer:
$40
Explanation:
Target cost is the cost per unit arrived at after having deducted the required profit margin from the competitive market price.
It is a management technique that makes management think about ways to achieve a set target cost rather than forcing their actual cost plus profit margin on customers.
In this case, the competitive market price is $54 per unit of hard drive whereas the company expects to achieve a total profit of $14 per unit
Profit margin per unit=$14
competitive market price=$54
Target cost=competitive market price-profit margin per unit
Target cost=$54-$14
Target cost=$40
Maxim Corp. has provided the following information about one of its products:Date Transaction Number of Units Cost per Unit1/1 Beginning Inventory 285 $ 157 6/5 Purchase 485 $ 177 11/10 Purchase 185 $ 217 During the year, Maxim sold 570 units.What is cost of goods sold using the average cost method? (Do not round intermediate computations.)
Answers
Answer:
$101,904.6
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of goods sold using the average cost method is shown below:
Beginnig Inventory 285 at $157 = $44,745
Purchases 485 at $177 = $85,845
Purchases 185 at $217 = $40,145
Total cost = $170,735
Now
Total number of units is
= 285 + 485 + 185
= 955
Now
Average Cost per unit is
= $170,735 ÷ 955
=$ 178.78
And, finally
Cost of goods Sold is
= 570 × $178.78
= $101,904.6

Answers
Answer:
EOQ= 19 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Demand= 145 units
Order cost= $25 per order
Holding cost= $20.
To calculate the optimal order quantity, we need to use the economic order quantity method:
Economic order quantity (EOQ)= √[(2*D*S)/H]
D= Demand in units
S= Order cost
H= Holding cost
EOQ= √[(2*145*25) / 20]
EOQ= √362.5
EOQ= 19 units

Then I describe the role and responsibilities of each employee so they can do their job without any doubts. And of course, I would delegate so they can do their jobs happily. No unnescesary intromissions. The objective would be to offer the best service possible to our clients.
Given D: Annual use of a particular item, in number of items per year Q: Number of items ordered in one purchase order, in units SS: Safety stock, in units L: Lead time, in fraction of a year I: Current inventory on hand, units Reorder point can be expressed as ______ (x below denotes the multiplication sign).
Answers
Answer:
D×L + SS
Explanation:
The reorder point (ROP) is the inventories or stock level for a certain product that, when attained, initiates the reordering of more inventories. The lead time it will take to refill inventories is taken in when computing the reorder points for different stock holding units. This ensures inventory levels do not approach zero.
Computing reorder points necessitates a thorough understanding of purchase habits over a specific time period. The more ROP you compute for each product, the better you'll be able to anticipate future demand and guarantee you're using the reorder quantity calculation appropriately.
From the given information in the question:
The reorder point can be determined by using the formula:
Reorder point = Demand (D) at the point of leas time (L) with the addition of safety stock (SS)
Reorder point = D×L + SS
Frank Corporation manufactures a single product that has a selling price of $25.00 per unit. Fixed expenses total $64,000 per year, and the company must sell 8,000 units to break even. If the company has a target profit of $19,000, sales in units must be:________.a. 9,648b. 8,760c. 10,375d. 10,560
Answers
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 10,375
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $25
Fixed cost= $64,000
Break-even point in units= 8,000
First, we need to determine the unitary contribution margin:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
8,000 = 64,000 / contribution margin per unit
contribution margin per unit8,000= 64,000
contribution margin per unit= 64,000 / 8,000
contribution margin per unit= $8
Now, the number of units to be sold to make a profit of $19,000:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (64,000 + 19,000) / 8
Break-even point in units= 10,375
