a. At that point, we would describe demand as ________.
b. If the price of backpacks fell by 10%, the quantity demanded would rise by ________and revenue for the backpack industry would ______ .
c. If the price of backpacks rose by 20% the quantity demanded would fall by _______ and revenue for the backpack industry would ________.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

elastic

16%

32%

decrease

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price  

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.  

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.  

Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases  

Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.

Feldpausch Corporation has provided the following data from its activity-based costing system: Activity Cost Pool Total Cost Total Activity Assembly $1,372,578 61,800 machine-hours Processing orders $63,235 2,010 orders Inspection $151,316 2,090 inspection-hours The company makes 600 units of product W26B a year, requiring a total of 1,200 machine-hours, 78 orders, and 34 inspection-hours per year. The product's direct materials cost is $49.55 per unit and its direct labor cost is $12.44 per unit. The product sells for $128.70 per unit. According to the activity-based costing system, the product margin for product W26B is:_____.a. $8,458.52.b. $10,920.12.c. $40,026.00.d. $10,912.40.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the activities rates:

Assembly= 1,372,578/61,800= $22.21 per machine-hour

Processing orders= 63,235/2,010= $31.46 per order

Inspection= 151,316/2,090= $72.4 per inspection-hour

Now, we allocate costs to W26B:

Assembly= 22.21*1,200= 26,652

Processing orders= 31.46*78= 2,453.88

Inspection= 72.4*34= 2,461.6

Total allocated costs= $31,567.48

Finally, the unitary cost and margin for W26B:

Unitary allocated cost= 31,567.48/600= $52.61

Unitary total cost= 49.55 + 12.44 + 52.61= $114.6

Product margin= 128.7*600 - 114.6*600= $8,460

10. Which of the following is NOT a reason that real GDP is a poor measure of a nation's
economic welfare?

A)Real GDP omits measures of political freedom.
b) Real GDP does not consider the value of people's leisure time.
c) Real GDP does not include the underground economy.
D) Real GDP omits household production.

Answers

Answer:

A)Real GDP omits measures of political freedom.

Explanation:

The Real Gross Domestic Product is a measure of all the goods produced in an economy within a year but with changes in price levels triggered by inflation factored in. Political freedom does not affect economic freedom. People may be restricted politically but still, go about their normal economic activities.

Because the Real GDP basically focuses on transactions done in the markets, it might not accurately measure the growth rate because some people conduct illegal businesses underground that are not captured by the government, while some produce their goods at home. Also, leisure time is not factored and it is important because an increase in leisure time will affect time spent in activities that improve the economy.

Answer:

Wages Expense debit $8,000

Explanation:

At the end of December 31, which is a Thursday, workers would have worked 4 days out of a 5-day week, which implies we need to recognize wages for the 4 days because it has been incurred even not yet paid

Wages for 4-days=$10,000*4/5

Wages for 4-days=$8,000

We would debit wages account with $8,000 since an increase in an expense account is a debit entry while wages payable would be credited since it is an increase in liabilities

(Round answer to 2 decimal places e.g. 2.25.)

Answers

Answer:

Variable cost per unit= $0.4

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Month Total Maintenance Costs Total Machine Hours

January $2,880 3,820

February 3,273 4,364

March 3,928 6,546

April 4,632 8,619

d. Compute the percentage error in the EOQ and in the inventory cost.
e. Moral of the story is that incorrect estimation of costs or demand (does or does not) result in substantial deviation from the optimal cost (circle the right answer).

Answers

Answer:

Annual demand 50,000 units

Holding cost $0.25 per year

Ordering Cost $500 per order

EOQ : 14,142

Number of orders per year 4

Average inventory 14,142 units

Maximum inventory 14,500 units

Reorder level 410 units

Length of order cycle 3 days

Annual Holding cost $12,500

Annual ordering cost $2000

Annual affected inventory cost $14,500

Explanation:

EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2 * D * S}{H} }[/tex]

EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2 * 50000 * 500}{0.25} }[/tex]

EOQ = 14,142 units

Number of Order : Annual demand / EOQ

Number of order : 50,000 / 14,142 = 3.53 or approximately 4

Annual Ordering cost : No. of order * cost per order

Annual ordering cost : 4 * $500 = $2,000

Annual Holding Cost : Demand * Holding cost per unit

Annual holding cost = 50,000 * $0.25 per unit = $12,500

Reorder level : Daily demand * lead time

Reorder level : [ 50000 / 365 ] * 3 = 410 units

You want to buy a house and will need to borrow $295,000. The interest rate on your loan is 6.37 percent compounded monthly and the loan is for 30 years. What are your monthly mortgage payments?

Answers

Answer:

$1,839.45

Explanation:

PV =  P * [1-(1+r)^-n / r]

n = 30*12=360 months, r = 6.37%/12 = 0.5308% (monthly)

295,000 = P*[1 - (1+0.005308)^-360 / 0.005308}

295,000 = P * $160.3739

P = $295,000 / $160.3739

P = $1,839.45

So, the monthly mortgage payments is $1,839.45.

The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to_____________ . Despite their differences, with which proposition are two economists chosen at random most likely to agree?

a. Rent ceilings reduce the quantity and quality of available housing.
b. Immigrants receive more in government benefits than they contribute in taxes.
c. Having a single income tax rate would improve economic performance.

Answers

Answer:

a. Difference in values

b. a. Rent ceilings reduce the quantity and quality of available housing.

Explanation:

The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to difference in values.

Economists are known to disagree a lot with each other and this is down to them having different values and perspectives with regards to several economic decisions. This is why there are different economic theories subscribed to by economists such as Keynesian and New Classical theories.

Despite these disagreements however, there are certain things they would always agree on and one of those is that rent ceilings reduce the quantity and quality of available housing.

The logic behind this is that imposing a rent ceiling would dissuade real estate investors from putting in more money to develop properties because the rent ceiling would limit the returns that they can get.

Supply of real estate would also fall because less investors would go into the market because they would fear being unable to recoup adequate returns on account of the rent ceiling.

US Corp. is charged with determining which small projects should be funded. Along with this assignment, she has been granted the use of $15,000 for a maximum of two years. She is considering three projects. Project A costs $7,500 and has cash flows of $4,000 a year for Years 1 to 3. Project B costs $8,000 and has cash flows of $3,000, $4,000, and $3,000 for Years 1 to 3, respectively. Project C costs $2,000 and has a cash inflow of $2,500 in Year 2. What decisions should she make regarding these projects if she assigns them a mandatory discount rate of 8.5 percent

Answers

Answer:

Project A and C given a budgetary constraint of $15,000.Pick all projects if there was not constraint as they all have positive NPVs.

Explanation:

Find the NPVs of the various projects.

Project A:

= Present value of inflows - Cost

= 4,000 / 1.085 + 4,000 / 1.085² + 4,000 / 1.085³ - 7,500

= $2,716.09

Project B:

= 3,000 / 1.085 + 4,000 / 1.085² + 3,000 / 1.085³ - 8,000

= $511.52

Project C:

= 2,500 / 1.085² - 2,000

= $123.64

Seeing as she has only $15,000 to embark on projects, she should pick projects A and C.

Project A should be picked because it has the highest NPV and Project C should be picked because it can still be invested in after Project A given budgetary constraints.

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The flexible budget is adapting the standard costs to the actual quantity.

Fabricating Department:

Depreciation= $2,300

Standard hourly rate= 2,300/640= $3.594

The department completed 600 hours of production.

Actual budget:

Depreciation= 2,300

Direct labor= 3.594*600= 2,156.4

Total cost= $4,456.4

Grinding Department:

Property tax= $30,000

Standard hourly rate= 55,200/2,400= $23

The department completed 2,900 hours of production.

Actual budget:

Property tax= $30,000

Direct labor= 23*2,900= 66,700

Total cost= $96,700

A physical count of merchandise inventory on November 30 reveals that there are 96 units on hand. Cost of goods sold (rounded) under FIFO is

Answers

Answer: $1,712

Explanation:

If the company uses FIFO it means that they sell their earlier inventory first. If there are 96 units on hand, it means that these 96 units would be the latest inventory.

That means that these 96 units comprise of:

86 units purchased on November 25 at $6.30 each and,10 units from the November 17 purchase of 58 units at $6.05 each which means 48 units were sold from this purchase.

The units sold were therefore:

= (29 * 5.80) + (115 * 6.20) + (48 * 6.05)

= 168.20 + 713 + 290.40

= $1,171.60

= $1,712

1. Assuming the interest rates remain constant, the T-notes price is expected to _____________. (Increase or Decrease).

The reason for the increase in the T-notes price is the addition of the amortization for the 6-month period of $17,563.

2. The T-note described is selling at a ________________. (Premium or Discount)

The T-note sells at a discount because the face value is greater than the price.  This implies that at the end of the maturity period of 5 years, the amount that will be received or paid is $1,000,000 and not the price that was initially received or paid.

3. When valuing a semiannual coupon bond, the time period N in the present value formula used to calculate the price of the bond is treated in terms of ____________ periods. (Annual, 6 month, 4 month, 12 month)

Semiannual = 6 months (12/2).

Explanation:

a) Data anc Calculations:

Face value of semiannual coupon U.S. Treasury note = $1,000,000

T-note price = $773,871.23

Discount on the note = $226,128.77 ($1,000,000 - $773,871.23)

Maturity period = 5 years

Coupon rate = 5%

Yield rate = 11%

Semiannual coupon payment = $25,000 ($1,000,000 * 2.5%)

Semiannual interest expense = $42,563 ($773,871.23 * 5.5%)

Amortization of discount =          $17,563 ($42,563 - $25,000)

Truck-Or-Treat specializes in leasing trucks to delivery companies. It is considering adding 25 more trucks to its available stock. Doing so will not change the risk of the company's business. The trucks depreciate over five years under the straight-line depreciation method, all the way to zero. Truck-Or-Treat believes that these newly added trucks would be able to bring the company $220,000 in annual earnings before taxes and depreciation (i.e., sales revenue minus costs of goods sold) for five years. The company is unlevered. It is in 21 percent tax rate bracket. The required annual rate of return on Truck-Or-Treat's unlevered equity is 15 percent. The risk-free rate, e.g., the Treasury bill rate, is 6 percent per year.

Required:
Calculate the maximum price that Truck-or-Treat should be willing to pay for the purchase of the new trucks if it remains an unlevered company. (In other words, what should be the "initial investment" of this unlevered truck project such that the project's NPV equals $0?

Answers

Answer:

The maximum price that Truck-or-Treat should be willing to pay for the purchase of the new trucks if it remains an unlevered company is $510,702.49.

Explanation:

Let:

x = Maximum price for the new truck = initial investment = ?

AEBTD = Annual earnings before taxes and depreciation = $220,000

T = Tax rate = 21%, or 0.21

n = Number of years = 5

Since the it is assumed that Truck-or-Treat remains an unlevered company, this implies the required annual rate of return on Truck-Or-Treat's unlevered equity of 15 percent is the relevant rate of return to use.

Therefore, we have:

r = required annual rate of return = 15%, or 0.15

D = Annual depreciation = Maximum price for the new truck / Number of useful years = x / 5 = 0.2x

P = Annual cash flow = ((AEDTD - D) * (1 - T)) + D = ((220000 - 0.2x) * (1 - 0.21)) + 0.2x = ((220000 - 0.2x) * 0.79) + 0.2x = 173,800 - 0.158x + 0.2x = 173,800 - 0.042x

Using the formula for calculating the present value (PV) of an ordinary annuity, we have:

PVP = Present value of annual cash flow = P * ((1 - (1/(1 + r))^n) / r) = (173,800 - 0.042x) * ((1 - (1/(1 + 0.15))^5) / 0.15) = (173,800 - 0.042x) * 3.3521550980114 = 582,604.56 - 0.140790514116479x

For the NPV of this unlevered truck project to be equal to $0, we must have:

x = PVP

That is:

x = 582,604.56 - 0.140790514116479x

Solving for x, we have:

x + 0.140790514116479x = 582,604.56

x(1 + 0.140790514116479) = 582,604.56

x1.140790514116479 = 582,604.56

x = 582,604.56 / 1.140790514116479 = $510,702.49

Therefore, the maximum price that Truck-or-Treat should be willing to pay for the purchase of the new trucks if it remains an unlevered company is $510,702.49.

ABC and XYZ are all-equity firms. ABC has 1,750 shares outstanding at a market price of $20 a share while XYZ has 2,500 shares outstanding at a price of $28 a share. ABC is acquiring XYZ for $75,000 in cash. The incremental value of the acquisition is $8,000. What is the net present value of acquiring XYZ to ABC

Answers

Answer:

the net present value is -$32,000

Explanation:

The computation of the net present value is shown below;

= (Number of oustanding shares × market price per share) + incremental value of acquisition - acquiring value in cash

= (1,750 × $20) + $8,000 - $75,000

= $43,000 - $75,000

= -$32,000

Hence, the net present value is -$32,000

Pet Supply purchased some fixed assets two years ago at a cost of $43,800. It no longer needs these assets so it is going to sell them today for $32,500. The assets are classified as five-year property for MACRS. The MACRS rates are 20%, 32% 19.2%, 11.52%, 11.52%, 5.76%, for years 1 to 6, respectively. What is the net cash flow (A-T Salvage Value) from this sale if the firm's tax rate is 35 percent

Answers

Answer:

$28,483.4

Explanation:

The computation of the net cash flow is shown below;

Asset cost       $43,800

MACRS Rate 0.2 0.32

                     8760 14016

So total depreciation is

= $8,760 + $14,016

= $22,776

Now  

Book Value of the company is

= oriignal value - depreication

= $43,800 - $22,776

= $21,024

And,  

Sale price = 32500

So,  

Gain is

= $32,500 - $21,024

= $11,476

So,  

Tax = 0.35% of 11476

= $4,016

And, finally  

Net cashflows is

= Sale price - tax

= $28,483.4

Answer:

The correct solution is "28483".

Explanation:

According to the question,

Given:

Sales price,

= 32500

MARCS rates,

= [tex]43800\times 0.2[/tex]

= [tex]8760[/tex]

Or,

= [tex]43800\times 0.32[/tex]

= [tex]14016[/tex]

Now,

The total depreciation will be:

= [tex]8760+14016[/tex]

= [tex]22776[/tex]

The company's book value will be:

= [tex]Original \ value-Depreciation[/tex]

= [tex]43800-22776[/tex]

= [tex]21024[/tex]

Gain will be:

= [tex]32500-21024[/tex]

= [tex]11476[/tex]

Tax,

= [tex]35\times 11476[/tex]

= [tex]4016[/tex]

hence,

The net cashflows will be:

= [tex]Sale \ price-Tax[/tex]

= [tex]32500-4016[/tex]

= [tex]28483[/tex]
