Meyer Company reported the following for its recent year of operation:

From Income Statement:

Depreciation Expense $1,000
Loss on the Sale of Equipment (3,000)

From the comparative balance sheet:
Beginning balance, equipment $12,500
Ending balance, equipment 8,000
Beginning balance, accumulated depreciation 2,000
Ending balance, accumulated depreciation 2,600

No new equipment was purchased during the year. What was the selling price of the equipment?

Answers

Answer:

$900

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the selling price of the equipment

First step

Cost of equipment sold = Beginning balance - Ending balance

Cost of equipment sold=$12,500-$8,000

Cost of equipment sold=$4,500

Second step

Ending balance= Beginning balance + Depreciation expense - Accumulated depreciation on equipment sold

Ending balance=$2,000+$1,000-$600

Ending balance=$2,400

Third step

Book value = Cost of equipment sold - Accumulated depreciation on equipment sold

Book value=$4,500-$600

Book value=$3,900

Now let determine the selling price of the equipment

Selling price=$3,000-$3,900

Selling price=$900

Therefore the selling price of the equipment.is $900

Assume Sheryl Jenkins wants to accumulate $ 13,241.39 in two years. She currently has $ 10,621.36 to invest. What interest rate must she earn on her investment (that is, if she deposits $ 10,621.36 today) to have $ 13,241.39 exactly two years from today?

Answers

Answer: 11.65%

Explanation:

The $13,241.39 is a future value amount as it is what is to be accumulated in 2 years.

Future value formula therefore applies:

Future value = Current value * ( 1 + interest rate) ^ no. of years

13,241.39 = 10,621.36 * ( 1 + i) ²

(1 + i)² = 13,241.39 / 10,621.36

(1 + i)² = 1.24667556697

1 + i = √1.24667556697

i = 1.116546267 - 1

i = 11.65%

Answers

Answer:

The GDP per capita of country of Bolivia would be $7,181.82.

Explanation:

GDP Per capita refers to a measure that calculates a country's economic output per person by dividing its GDP by its population.

Therefore, we have:

GDP per capita = GDP / Population = $79 billion / 11 million = $79,000,000,000 / $11,000,000 = $7,181.82

Therefore, the GDP per capita of country of Bolivia would be $7,181.82.

Along any downward sloping straight-line demand curve: Group of answer choices both the price elasticity and slope are constant. both the price elasticity and slope vary. the price elasticity varies, but the slope is constant. the slope varies, but the price elasticity is constant.

Answers

Answer:

the price elasticity varies, but the slope is constant

Explanation:

The demand curve is a curve that shows the relationship between price and quantity demanded. The demand curve is negatively sloped because the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded. This is in line with the law of demand.

According to the law of demand, the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.

At the midpoint of the demand curve, demand is usually unit elastic. Above the midpoint of the demand curve, demand is elastic and blow the midpoint, demand is inelastic

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  

Price elasticity of demand = midpoint change in quantity demanded / midpoint 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.

Equivalent Units of Materials Cost The Filling Department of Eve Cosmetics Company had 4,500 ounces in beginning work in process inventory (90% complete). During the period, 74,900 ounces were completed. The ending work in process inventory was 3,700 ounces (40% complete). What are the total equivalent units for direct materials if materials are added at the beginning of the process? fill in the blank 1 units

Answers

Answer: 74,100 units

Explanation:

If the materials are added at the beginning of the process then the opening work in process inventory would need to be deducted from the completed inventory for the period. Also there would be no need to multiply the units by their completion level because they are assumed to be at 100% completion because materials were added at the very beginning.

Total equivalent units for direct materials is:

= (Completed units - Opening inventory) + Closing work in process

= (74,900 - 4,500) + 3,700

= 74,100 units

In Washburn's factory, what is the break-even point for the new line of guitars if the retail price is (a) $349, (b) $389, and (c) $309? Also, (d) if Washburn achieves the sales target of 2,000 units at the $349 retail price, what will its profit be?

Answers

Answer:

a. 186 units

b. 156 units

c. 232 units

d. $370,000

Explanation:

a. Calculation to determine the break-even point for the new line of guitars if the retail price is $349

Using this formula

Break-even point quantity = Fixed cost / Unit price – Unit variable cost

Let plug in the formula

Break-even point quantity = ($14,000 + $4,000 + $20,000) / $349 – ($25 + $120)

Break-even point quantity= $38,000 / $349 - $145

Break-even point quantity= $38,000 / $204

Break-even point quantity= 186.27

Break-even point quantity= 186 units

Therefore the break-even point for the new line of guitars if the retail price is $349 will be 186 units

b. Calculation to determine the break-even point for the new line of guitars if the retail price is $389

Break-even point quantity = ($14,000 + $4,000 + $20,000) / $389 – ($25 + $120)

Break-even point quantity= $38,000 / $389 - $145

Break-even point quantity= $38,000 / $244= 155.74

Break-even point quantity = 156 units (Approximately)

Therefore Therefore the break-even point for the new line of guitars if the retail price is $389 will be 156 units

c. Calculation to determine the break-even point for the new line of guitars if the retail price is $309

Break-even point quantity=($14,000+$4,000+$20,000)/$309 – ($25 + $120)

Break-even point quantity= $38,000 / $309 - $145

Break-even point quantity= $38,000 / $164

Break-even point quantity= 231.71

Break-even point quantity = 232 units (Approximately)

Therefore the break-even point for the new line of guitars if the retail price is $309 will be 232 units

d. Calculation to determine what will its profit be

if Washburn achieves the sales target of 2,000 units at the $349 retail price

Using this formula

Profit = Total revenue – Total cost

Profit= (P x Q) – [FC + (UVC x Q)]

Let plug in the formula

Profit= ($349 x 2000) – [$38,000 + ($145 x 2,000)]

Profit= $698,000 – $328,000

Profit= $370,000

Therefore the profit will be $370,000

Milltown Company specializes in selling used cars. During the month, the dealership sold 32 cars at an average price of $16,000 each. The budget for the month was to sell 30 cars at an average price of $17,000. Compute the dealership's sales price variance for the month.

Answers

Answer:

-$32,000

Explanation:

The sales price variance is a measure used determine the difference between an entity's expected price of a product or service and its actual sales price. It may be favorable or unfavourable to the company and may be calculated as

Sales price variance =  Actual quantity sold * (actual selling price - budgeted selling price)

Hence given that  the dealership sold 32 cars at an average price of $16,000 each while the budget was to sell 30 cars at an average price of $17,000,

Sales price variance = 32 ($16,000 - $17,000)

= -$32,000

The minus indicates unfavourable sales price variance

Half of the new graduates believe there is no chance of finding a job and return home to live with their parents. Ceteris Paribus, what would the new unemployment rate be in Economerica?
A. 14.29%
B. 20.00%
C. 25.00%
D. 45.45%

Answers

Answer: B. 20.00%

Explanation:

Unemployment rate does not include those who have given up on finding a job.

Unemployment rate = Unemployed people / Labor force

Unemployed people:

= Original unemployed + half the new graduates

= 1,000 + (1,000 / 2)

= 1,500 people

Labor force:

= Unemployed + employed people

= 1,500 + 6,000

= 7,500 people

Unemployment rate:

= 1,500 / 7,500

= 20%

When the interest rate in an economy decreases, it is likely the result of either a/an ________ or a/an ________.

Answers

Answer:

expansionary practice; open market purchase of securities by the Fed.

Explanation:

Fiscal policy in economics refers to the use of government expenditures (spending) and revenues (taxation) in order to influence macroeconomic conditions such as Aggregate Demand (AD), inflation, and employment within a country. Fiscal policy is in relation to the Keynesian macroeconomic theory by John Maynard Keynes.

A fiscal policy affects combined demand through changes in government policies, spending and taxation which eventually impacts employment and standard of living plus consumer spending and investment.

Basically, an expansionary fiscal policy will cause the total increase in aggregate demand to be greater than the initial increase in aggregate demand due to the multiplier process.

Hence, when the interest rate in an economy decreases, it is likely the result of either an expansionary practice or an open market purchase of securities by the Federal Reserve System (Fed).

According to the Keynesian theory, government spending or expenditures should be increased and taxes should be lowered when faced with a recession, in order to create employment and boost the buying power of consumers

                                  Before Change   After Change

Sales revenue                $150,000       $178,000 ($168,000 + $10,000)

Variable costs                   110,000         120,000

Fixed costs                        32,000           48,000

Total costs                     $142,000       $168,000

Operating income            $8,000          $10,000 ($8,000 * 1.25)

The sales price level that would give the desired results is $356 ($178,000/500).  This represents an increase of 18.7% ($56/$300 * 100).

NEED THIS ASAP!Read this passage from chapter 5 of The Prince.There are, for example, the Spartans and the Romans. The Spartans held Athens and Thebes, establishing there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. The Romans, in order to hold Capua, Carthage, and Numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. They wished to hold Greece as the Spartans held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. So to hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain them otherwise than by ruining them. And he who becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it, for in rebellion it has always the watchword of liberty and its ancient privileges as a rallying point, which neither time nor benefits will ever cause it to forget. And whatever you may do or provide against, they never forget that name or their privileges unless they are disunited or dispersed, but at every chance they immediately rally to them, as Pisa after the hundred years she had been held in bondage by the Florentines.What text evidence supports Machiavellis primary purpose to persuade readers that a conquering prince must destroy a former republic if he hopes to hold it?
