Explanation:
The accounting equation states that total assets are equal to total liabilities and stockholders' equity. This equation gives accounting two sides to every transaction. This is known as the double-entry system of accounting. And the two sides are always in agreement before and after each transaction. The equation also implies that an entity's assets are funded by the creditors and the owners (stockholders).

Suppose the United States is currently producing 100tons of hamburgers and 45tons of tacos and Mexico is currently producing 20tons of hamburgers and 25tons of tacos. If the United States and Mexico each specialize in producing only one good (the good for which each has a comparative advantage), then a total of nothingadditional ton(s) of hamburgers can be produced for the two countries combined (enter a numeric response using an integer)
Answer: 50 additional tons of hamburgers
Explanation:
United States opportunity costs:
Hamburger opportunity cost = 45/100 = 0.45 tons of tacos
Taco opportunity cost = 100/45 = 2.22 tones of hamburgers
Mexico opportunity cost:
Hamburger opportunity cost = 25/20 = 1.25 tons of tacos
Taco opportunity cost = 20/25 = 0.8 tones of hamburgers
US should specialize in Hamburger production because they have a lower opportunity cost.
If both countries combined production of hamburgers then the total would be:
= 100 + 20
= 120 tons of hamburgers
There is missing information on this question which is the US production of hamburgers when it produces 0 tacos. We shall assume that number to be 170 tons of hamburgers.
The total additional tons produced would be:
= US tons when producing only hamburgers - Combined hamburger production
= 170 - 120
= 50 additional tons of hamburgers
What happens to your employer-sponsored retirement plan if you decide to change employers?
Answer:
Most 401 (k) or IRA accounts allow employees to roll-over their accounts from the old employer to the new employer. Depending on the account and how much time you have been making contributions, you could also cash your retirement account, but that would mean starting from zero with the new employer.
Answer:
a). You may roll your money over to a new plan through your new employer.
b) You can withdraw the money from your plan in one lump sum and pay income taxes and likely a penalty as well.
c) You can leave the money in the plan with your former employer.

A country has constant opportunity cost of production. If they devote all of their resources to the production of blankets they can produce a total of 284 per week. If they devote all of their resources to the production of t-shirts they can produce a total of 612 shirts per week. What is the opportunity cost of producing 1 blanket
Answer:
2.15 shirts
Explanation:
Opportunity cost or implicit is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives
By producing one more blanket, the country would be forgoing the opportunity to produce one more shirt.
opportunity cost of producing 1 blanket = 612 shirts / 284 = 2.15 shirts
Taveras Corporation is currently operating at 50% of its available manufacturing capacity. It uses a job-order costing system with a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates: Machine-hours required to support estimated production 215,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 3,655,000 Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour $ 2.00 Required: 1. Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate. 2. During the year, Job P90 was started, completed, and sold to the customer for $3,500. The following information was available with respect to this job: Direct materials $ 1,610 Direct labor cost $ 1,155 Machine-hours used 82 Compute the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job P90.
Answer:
1. Plant wide predetermined overhead rate is $19 per hour
2. Manufacturing cost assigned to job P90 is $4,323
Explanation:
1. In order to calculate the predetermined overhead rate based on machine hours expended, the fixed overhead cost would have to be divided by the machine hours and then add up variable overhead cost per machine hour

During Year 3, Rex Co. introduced a new product carrying a 2-year assurance-type warranty against defects. The estimated warranty costs related to dollar sales are 2% within 12 months following sale and 4% in the second 12 months following sale. Sales and actual warranty expenditures for year ended December 31, Year 3 and Year 4, are as follows:
Year Sales Actual Warranty Expenditures
2008 $250,000 $2,250
2009 250,000 7,500
Total $500,000 $9,750
What amount should Gum report as estimated warranty liability on its December 31, 2009 balance sheet?
Answer:
the amount that should reported as the estimated liability is $20,250
Explanation:
The computation of the amount that should reported as the estimated liability is as follows:
= Total sales × total percentage - total actual warranty expenditure
= $500,000 × 6% - $9,750
= $30,000 - $9,750
= $20,250
Hence, the amount that should reported as the estimated liability is $20,250
Parks Corporation is considering an investment proposal in which a working capital investment of $10,000 would be required. The investment would provide cash inflows of $2,000 per year for six years. The working capital would be released for use elsewhere when the project is completed. If the company's discount rate is 10%, the investment's net present value is closest to (Ignore income taxes.): Click here to view Exhibit 13B-1 and Exhibit 13B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using the tables provided.
Answer:
$4,355.26
Explanation:
The net present value is the present value of future cash flows expected from the project minus the initial investment outlay
initial investment outlay=working capital investment = -$10,000
Years 1-5 cash inflow=$2,000
Year 6 cash inflow=normal cash inflows+release of working capital
Year 6 cash inflow=$2,000+$10,000=$12,000
the present value of a future cash flow=cash flow/(1+r)^n
n is 1 for year cash inflow 2 for year 2 cash inflow, 3 for year 3 cash inflow and so on
NPV=-$10,000+$2,000/(1+10%)^1+$2,000/(1+10%)^2+$2,000/(1+10%)^3+$2,000/(1+10%)^4+$2,000/(1+10%)^5+$12,000/(1+10%)^6

An insurance company accepts an obligation to pay 10,000 at the end of each year for 2 years. The insurance company purchases a combination of the following two bonds at a total cost of X in order to exactly match its obligation: 1-year 4% annual coupon bond with a yield rate of 5% 2-year 6% annual coupon bond with a yield rate of 5% Calculate X.
Answer:
$18,594.10
Explanation:
Insurance company has to pay $10,000 for two year with rate of 5% since market rate remain same in both the bond.
X = PV (PMT, N, I/Y)
X = PV(10000, 2, 5)
X = 18594.1043
X = $18,594.10
Consider Pacific Energy Company and U.S. Bluechips, Inc., both of which reported earnings of $967,000. Without new projects, both firms will continue to generate earnings of $967,000 in perpetuity. Assume that all earnings are paid as dividends and that both firms require a return of 13%.
A. What is the current PE ratio for each company?
B. Pacific Energy Company has a new project that will generate additional earnings of $117,000 each year in perpetuity. Calculate the new PE ratio of the company.
C. Atlantic Energy has a new project that will increase earnings by $217,000 in perpetuity. Calculate the new PE ratio of the firm.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. Current PE ratio is
For Pacific energy company
= Price ÷ Earnings
= ($967,000 ÷ 0.13) ÷ ($967,000)
= 7.69 times
For U.S Bluechips
= Price ÷ Earnings
= ($967,000 ÷ 0.13) ÷ ($967,000)
= 7.69 times
b. The new PE ratio is
= Price ÷ Earnings
= (($967,000 + $117,000) ÷ 0.13) ÷ ($967,000)
= 8.62 times
c. The new PE ratio is
= Price ÷ Earnings
= (($967,000 + $217,000) ÷ 0.13) ÷ ($967,000)
= 9.42 times
Lupo Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. The company based its predetermined overhead rate for the current year on the following data: Total machine-hours 31,500 Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 220,500 Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour $ 6.00 Recently, Job T687 was completed with the following characteristics: Number of units in the job 10 Total machine-hours 40 Direct materials $ 685 Direct labor cost $ 1,370 If the company marks up its unit product costs by 40% then the selling price for a unit in Job T687 is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
$2575
Explanation:
Total variable overhead estimated=(6*31,500)= $189,000
Hence total overhead estimated=Total variable overhead estimated+Total fixed overhead estimated = $189,000 + $220,500 = $409,500
Hence, predetermined overhead rate = $409,500 / 31,500 = $13 per machine hour
Hence, total overhead applied=(13*400) = $520
Hence, total job cost=Direct material+Direct labor+Total overhead = $685 + $1,370 + $520 = $2575
Analyze the role individual team members and leaders play in ensuring or detracting from team success. In the analysis, considering the advantages and disadvantages of the team effectiveness model (Exhibit 7.2). For example, what would be some of the effective and ineffective individual and leadership behaviors regarding team environmental, design, process, and effectiveness practices
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Unfortunately, you did not attach the team effectiveness model (Exhibit 7.2). You did not a link or picture of it.
However, trying to help you, we can comment on the following model.
We are going to use the Katzenbach and Smith Team Model.
This team effectiveness model has three important components at the base of the pyramid: collective work product, commitment, and personal growth.
From there, the next level indicates the specific goals of the team, the ground rules, the common approach, and the meaningful purpose of the team.
Going up the pyramid we have the Skills and Accountability.
In the Skills, the authors include interpersonal skills, technical skills, and problem-solving abilities. Regarding Accountability, the authors include mutual and personal accountability.
At the very top of the pyramid, we have the performance results.
This model helps to establish the foundation of the role individual team members and leaders play in ensuring team success.
For this to happen, leaders have to set the example of the n¿behavior they like to observe on team members. On the other hand, setting that example, team members are expected to follow through with the goals and expectations, following high standards of performance to accomplish goals.

In 2008, Betserai was a 10-year-old quintrillionaire living in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. He was literally rolling in money. In fact, Betserai has so much money that he decided to make kites out of billion dollar bills instead of putting the money into the bank to earn interest. None of Betserai's friends bothered to save their money, either. Rupert was Betserai's American pen pal and heard of Betserai's story and was extremely confused. He was taught that Zimbabwe was one of the poorer countries in the world, or at the least substantially poorer than the United States. Which statement best explains this phenomenon?
A. A country's wealth is based on the amount of money in circulation.
B. Zimbabwe was in the midst of an incredible economic boom, substantially increasing the wealth of all its citizens.
C. Rapid rises in price levels made the Zimbabwean dollar near worthless in terms of purchasing power.
D. All of these statements could explain what happened in Zimbabwe in 2008.
Answer:
C. Rapid rises in price levels made the Zimbabwean dollar near worthless in terms of purchasing power.
Explanation:
As in the given situation it is mentioned that 10 year old boy has the bill of billion dollar this represented that the country really printed the bill of billion dollar. It means that the attempt is to be done in order to print a currenct note of higher denomination that also represent that the country would increased such level also at the same time a big amount is required to purchased the goods and services.
Also the high denomination values would not consist of actual value as they have purchasing power i.e. negligible

Data pertaining to the postretirement health care benefit plan of Danielson Delivery Service include the following for the current calendar year: Service cost $ 150,000 APBO, January 1 $ 800,000 Plan assets (fair value), January 1 $ 80,000 Prior service cost (current year amortization, $2,000) $ 90,000 Retiree benefits paid (end of year) $ 90,000 Net gain (current year amortization, $1,000) $ 92,000 Contribution to health care fund (end of year) $ 85,000 Return on plan assets (actual and expected) 10 % Discount rate 8 % Required: 1. Determine Danielson's postretirement benefit expense for the current year.
Answer: $207,00
Explanation:
Postretirement benefit for the year is:
= Service cost + Interest cost + Amortization of prior service cost - Return on plant assets - Amortization of net gain
Interest cost = Discount rate * Actual Projected benefit obligation (APBO)
= 8% * 800,000
= $64,000
Return on plant assets = Return on plan assets (actual and expected)* Plan assets
= 10% * 80,000
= $8,000
Postretirement benefit = 150,000 + 64,000 + 2,000 - 8,000 - 1,000
= $207,000

Direct Materials Inventory, Beginning 18,000
Direct Materials Inventory, Ending 6,000
To calculate the direct material used, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory
Direct material used= 18,000 + 171,000 - 6,000
Direct material used= $183,000
Prove:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 30,000 + 183,000 + 55,000 + 112,000 - 40,000
cost of goods manufactured= $340,000
A T-bill quote sheet has 90-day T-bill quotes with a 5.77 ask and a 5.71 bid. If the bill has a $10,000 face value, an investor could sell this bill for _____.
a. $9,857.25
b. $9,855.75
c. $9,859.21
d. $10,000
Answer:
a. $9,857.25
Explanation:
Price = Face value * (1 - Bid*Days/360)
Price = $10,000 * (1 - 5.71%*90/360)
Price = $10,000 * (1 - 5.71%*0.25)
Price = $10,000 * (1 - 0.014275)
Price = $10,000 * 0.985725
Price = $9,857.25
Kenny, Inc., is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park. The company bought some land six years ago for $7.7 million in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent facilities elsewhere. The land would net $10.5 million if it were sold today. The company now wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $21.7 million to build, and the site requires $920,000 worth of grading before it is suitable for construction. What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project
Answer:
$33,120,000
Explanation:
Calculation for What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project
Using this formula
Proper Cash Flow Amount = (Expected Cost of Selling + Cost of Building Manufacturing Plant + Cost of Grading)
Let plug in the formula
Proper Cash Flow Amount = ($10,500,000 + $21,700,000 + $920,000)
Proper Cash Flow Amount = $33,120,000
Therefore the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project will be $33,120,000
An Argentinian economist pointed out that the inflation rate based on the PCE(personal consumption expenditures) deflator was higher than the inflation rate you calculated in part (b) based on the GDP deflator. Provide two possible explanations for this difference between the inflation rates calculated from the PCE deflatorversus the GDP deflator.
Answer:
Note: The complete question is attached as picture below
Year Nominal GDP Real GDP
2019 100 100
2020 105 99
a) %change in nominal GDP = [(105 - 100) / 100] * 100 = 5%
%change in real GDP = [(99 - 100) / 100] * 100 = -1%
b) GDP deflator is = [Nominal GDP / Real GDP]. %change in GDP deflator = [(106.06 - 100) / 100] * 100 = 6.06%
c) Inflation calculated from GDP deflator and PCE is different because
- GDP deflator does not includes price increase of imported goods while PCE does.
- PCE measures change in price of goods which are generally consumed by consumers while GDP deflator includes all goods produced in an economy.

Ending PBO $39 million
Hence, the amount of projected benefit obligation is on Dec 31 is $39 million
The chart below gives prices and output information for the country of Utopia. Use this information to calculate real and nominal GDP for both years. Use 2001 as the base year.
Year 2000 2001
Price Quantity Price Quantity
Ice Cream $7.00 600 $3.00 400
Blue Jeans $70.00 20 $20.00 90
Laptops $300.00 5 $300.00 5
2000 nominal GDP = $_________
2001 nominal GDP = $_________
2000 real GDP = $_________
2001 real GDP = $_________
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
As we know that
Nominal GDP = Sum of (Present Year Price × Present Year Quantity)
And,
Real GDP = Sum of (Base Year Price × Present Year Quantity)
Now
(a) Nominal GDP, 2000 is
= $[(7 × 600) + (70 × 20) + (300 × 5)]
= $4,200 + $1,400 + $1,500
= $7,100
(b) Nominal GDP, 2001 is
= $[(3 × 400) + (20 × 90) + (300 × 5)]
= ($1,200 + $1,800 + $1,500)
= $4,500
(c) Real GDP, 2000 is
= $[(3 × 600) + (20 × 20) + (300 × 5)]
= $1,800 + $400 + 1,500
= $3,700
(d) Real GDP, 2001 is
= $[(3 × 400) + (20 × 90) + (300 × 5)]
= $1,200 + $1,800 + $1,500
= $4,500
