Answer:
d.
Explanation:
From the given information;
the quarter average sale = expected total sales ÷ number of quarter
= 14800 ÷ 4
= 3700
The forecast for the first quarter = average quarter sale × seasonal factor
= 3700 × 0.70
= 2590
Thus, the expected sales is more than 2500 but lesser than 3000

When shares are sold or issued, they increase the stockholders equity as people buy these shares. They also increase assets because cash comes into the company when the shares are sold. This is why the Issuing of preference and common stock as well as the sale of Treasury shares had the same effects.
When cash dividends are declared, they become a liability that is owed to equity holders.
When these dividends are then paid, they remove the liability but reduce assets as cash is used to pay the dividends.
100% stock dividend reduces retained earnings but increases equity so stockholders equity does not change.

If x follows a normal distribution with a mean of 10 and
standard deviation of 3; find out the following
A) Find the value of x = xº such that P(x 5 xº) = 5%
B) Find the value of x = xº such that P(x 2 x°) = 1%
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
The z score is used to determine by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. The z score is given by:
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\\\where\ x=raw\ score, \mu=mean,\ \sigma=standard\ deviation[/tex]
a) P(x ≥ x⁰) = P(z ≥ z⁰) = 1 - P(z < z⁰)
1 - P(z < z⁰) = 1%
P(z < z⁰) = 99%
z⁰ = 2.33
z° = (x° - μ)/σ
2.33 = (x° - 10)/3
x⁰ = 16.99
b) P(x ≥ x⁰) = P(z ≥ z⁰) = 1 - P(z < z⁰)
1 - P(z < z⁰) = 10%
P(z < z⁰) = 90%
z⁰ = 1.28
z° = (x° - μ)/σ
1.28 = (x° - 10)/3
x⁰ = 13.84
c) P(x ≥ x⁰) = P(z ≥ z⁰) = 1 - P(z < z⁰)
1 - P(z < z⁰) = 5%
P(z < z⁰) = 95%
z⁰ = 1.65
z° = (x° - μ)/σ
1.65 = (x° - 10)/3
x⁰ = 14.95

Using cost behavior patterns MFG Company experiences the following cost behavior patterns each week: Fixed costs: supervisor’s salary $1,600; factory rent $3,700 Mixed costs: utilities $2,100 + $6.75 per unit Variable costs per unit: manufacturing labor wages $23.00; supplies used in production $10.00; packaging cost $3.75; warranty cost $4Required:Compute total costs to be incurred for a week with 2,750 units of activity.
Answer:
Total cost= $138,025
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed costs:
supervisor’s salary $1,600
factory rent $3,700
Mixed costs:
utilities $2,100 + $6.75 per unit
Variable costs per unit:
manufacturing labor wages $23.00
supplies used in production $10.00
packaging cost $3.75
warranty cost $4
Units produced= 2,750
First, we need to calculate the total variable cost:
Total variable cost= 2,750*(6.75 + 23 + 10 + 3.75 + 4)
Total variable cost= $130,625
Now, the total fixed cost:
Total fixed cost= 1,600 + 3,700 + 2,100
Total fixed cost= $7,400
Finally, the total cost:
Total cost= 130,625 + 7,400
Total cost= $138,025
Bell Corporation reports that at an activity level of 8,700 units, its total variable cost is $653,109, and its total fixed cost is $658,416.
Required: For the activity level of 8,800 units, assume this level is within the relevant range. Compute: the total variable cost, the total fixed cost, the total cost, the average variable cost per unit, the average fixed cost per unit, and the average total cost per unit.
There is not a word length requirement for this question; however, you must show your work.
Answer:
Bell Corporation
The total variable cost is = $660,616
The total fixed cost is = $658,416
The total cost is = $1,319,032
The average variable cost per unit is = $75.07
The average total cost per unit is = $149.89
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Current activity level = 8,700 units
Variable cost based on the current activity level = $653,109
Unit variable cost = $75.07 ($653,109/8,700)
Fixed cost = $658,416
At activity level of 8,800 units, since 8,800 units are within the relevant range:
The total variable cost = $660,616 (8,800 * $75.07)
The total fixed cost = $658,416 (same as at 8,700 units)
The total cost = $1,319,032 ($660,616 + $658,416)
The average variable cost per unit = $75.07 ($653,109/8,700)
The average total cost per unit = $149.89 ($1,319,032/8,800)

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
If Verslas is producing at a profit maximising point, it means that marginal revenue equal marginal revenue and the firm is earning a normal profit

California wildfires destroy vineyards across the Napa Valley. This is during the season when wine festivals occur most often all over the country. Demonstrate the effect of these events on the equilibrium price and quantity of wine.
Answer:
As a result of the wildfire, supply would fall. there would be a leftward shift of the supply curve. the quantity supplied of wine would reduce and price would increase
as a result of the festival, there would be an increase in demand. this would lead to an outward shift of the demand curve. Thus, the quantity demanded would increase and price would increase
taking these two effects together, there would be an indeterminate change in equilibrium quantity and equilibrium price would increase

Come and Go Bank offers your firm a discount interest loan with an interest rate of 9 percent for up to $21 million, and in addition requires you to maintain a 2 percent compensating balance against the face amount borrowed.
What is the effective annual interest rate on this lending arrangement? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Effective annual rate= %
Answer: 10.11%
Explanation:
The effective annual interest rate on this lending arrangement will be calculated thus:
Interest Paid will be:
= 9% × $21 million
= 0.09 × $21 million
= $1.89 million
Amount Received will then be:
= (21million - 1.89million) - (21million)(0.02)
= $19.11 million - $0.42 million
= $18.69 million
Then, the effective annual rate will be:
= 1.89/18.69
= 10.11%
Therefore, the effective annual interest rate on this lending arrangement is 10.11%.

East Valve Distributors distributes industrial valves and control devices. The Eastern control device has an annual demand of 9,375 units and sells for $100 per unit. The cost of ordering is $40 per order and the average carrying cost per unit per year is $0.75. Determine the economic order quantity.
Answer:
1000
Explanation:
Given:
Annual DEMAND, D = 9375
Holding cost, H = 0.75
Cost per order, S = 40
The Economic order quantity :
EOQ = √[(2 * D * S) / H]
EOQ = √[(2 * 9375 * 40) / 0.75]
EOQ = √[(750000) / 0.75]
EOQ = √1000000
EOQ = 1000

If a rise in incomes for both low-income and high-income workers is higher for the high- income workers, Group of answer choices then poverty will fall and inequality will rise. then poverty will rise and inequality will rise. then poverty will fall and inequality will fall. then poverty will rise and inequality will rise.
Answer:
Poverty will fall and inequality will rise.
Explanation:
Poverty will fall and inequality will rise is the correct answer because there is a rise in income for both category workers that is low income and higher income. Therefore, many low income workers may cross the poverty line due to an increase in pay so poverty will decrease. But, the income has increased for both the groups so higher income group worker will become richer so inequality will rise.
Economic growth and public policy
Suppose an American buys stock issued by an Argentinian corporation. The Argentinian firm uses the proceeds from the sale to build a new office complex. This is an example of foreign investment in Argentina. Which of the following policies are consistent with the goal of increasing productivity and growth in developing countries?
a. Provide tax breaks and patents for firms that pursue research and development in health and sciences.
b. Give families cash payments on the condition that their children show up for school and medical exams.
c. Increase taxes on income from savings.
d. Protect property rights and enforce contracts.
Answer:
a. Foreign Portfolio Investment
b. a. Provide tax breaks and patents for firms that pursue research and development in health and sciences.
d. Protect property rights and enforce contracts.
Explanation:
This is an example of Foreign Portfolio Investment (FPI). Foreign portfolio investment is when an entity from a foreign country invests in another country by buying the shares of a company in the local country. The American company bought shares in Argentina so the qualifies as FPI.
To increase productivity companies that are pursuing research should be given patents and tax breaks. The tax breaks will enable them have more money to reinvest into the research and the patent will provide incentive to them to continue the research knowing full well that they will be compensated by being the only ones to be able to use the technology invented for some time.
Also protecting property rights and enforcing contracts encourages investment in a country because people will be more trusting of making a return from business dealings. Higher investment leads to more productivity and growth.
bartleby Clayborn Corporation's net cash provided by operating activities was $118,800; its net income was $106,100; its income taxes were $46,900; its capital expenditures were $96,300; and its cash dividends were $30,200. Required: Determine the company's free cash flow. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)
Answer: -$7,700
Explanation:
The Free Cash Flow is the amount of after tax income that a company has that can go to both its shareholders and debt holders.
When using cash from operating activities, taxes have already been accounted for so it is calculated as:
= Net cash provided by operating activities - Capital expenditure - Cash Dividends
= 118,800 - 96,300 - 30,200
= -$7,700
A tremendous flood along the Mississippi River destroys thousands of factories, reducing the nation's capital stock by 5%. What happens to current employment and the real wage rate
Answer:
Both employment and the real wage rate would decrease
Explanation:
Given that the capital stock of a nation or country jas a direct impact on such country in terms of savings and investments which directly translates to additional.economic development.
Hence, in this case, when a tremendous flood along the Mississippi River destroys thousands of factories, reducing the nation's capital stock by 5%. What happens to current employment and the real wage rate is that "Both employment and the real wage rate would decrease"
This because there won't be adequate money available to create more employment. And with lease employment opportunities than the available labor, the real wage rate tends to decrease over time.
Waiting period. Upstate University currently has a 6 comma 000 -car parking capacity for faculty, staff, and students. This year, the university issued 4 comma 356 parking passes. The number of parking passes issued has been growing at a rate of 6 % per year. How long will it be before the university will need to add parking spaces?
Answer: 5.5 years
Explanation:
The 6,000 parking capacity is the future value of the number of parking passes and the 4,356 is the present value.
Using the future value formula, you can find the number of periods it would take:
Future value = Present value * (1 + rate) ^ n
(1 + rate)^ n = Future value / Present value
n = In (Future value / Present value) / In ( 1 + r)
= In (6,000 / 4,356) / In ( 1 + 6%)
= 5.495 years
= 5.5 years
