Once a firm reaches the lowest point on the Long Run Average Total Cost Curve then the firm will automatically charge a lower prices for their product or service. The cost analysis model that we studied in Chapter 9 said that this is always the best strategy to effectively capture the maximum market share.
A- True
B- False
Answer:
B. False
Explanation:
As it is mentioned in the question that When a firm reaches a lowest point on the Long Run Average Total Cost Curve then it automatically charged a less price for the product and services they are rendering to the customer. But this lowest point deals in the only perfect competition also it would not capture the maximum market share but it would result into optimum production and goods supply at minimum price
Green Inc. made no adjusting entry for accrued and unpaid employee wages of $38,000 on December 31. This error would Multiple Choice Understate assets by $38,000. Overstate net income by $38,000. Understate net income by $38,000. Have no effect on net income.
Answer:
The answer is B. Overstate net income by $38,000.
Explanation:
Accrued expense is an expense that has been enjoyed or incurred but has been paid for. Examples of an accrued expense are unpaid wages/salary, unpaid electricity bill etc.
Usually, the adjusting entry for accrued expense is to debit the expense and debit increases expense while credit decreases it. Since there is no adjusting entry, that means no expense is being recognized on the income statement for this transaction. Hence, the net income increases (overstated). because ordinarily expense reduces net income.

Assuming that the firm is maximizing profits, the marginal cost of the last unit produced equals:________
Price Quantity Total cost
10 10 80
9 20 100
8 30 130
7 40 170
6 50 230
5 60 300
4 70 380
a. $4
b. $40
c. $5
d. $50
e. $6
Answer: b. $40
Explanation:
A firm maximises its profits where Marginal Revenue equals marginal cost.
Marginal revenue is the additional revenue gained by selling one more unit of production.
At 40 units, the marginal revenue is equal to;
= Total revenue at 40 units - total revenue at 30 units
= ( 7 * 40) - ( 8 * 30)
= 280 - 240
= $40
At 40 units the marginal cost is;
= total cost at 40 units - total cost at 30 units
= 170 - 130
= $40
MR=MC which is $40.

The company is now in the process of preparing a production budget for the second quarter. Past experience has shown that end-of-month inventory levels must equal 15% of the following month’s sales. The inventory at the end of March was 10,500 units.
Required:
Prepare a production budget for the second quarter; in your budget, show the number of units to be produced each month and for the quarter in total.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales in Units
April 70,000
May 85,000
June 110,000
July 90,000
Desired ending inventory= 15% of the following month’s sales.
The inventory at the end of March was 10,500 units.
To calculate the production required for each month, we need to use the following formula:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
April:
Sales= 70,000
Desired ending inventory= 85,000*0.15= 12,750
Beginning inventory= (10,500)
Total production= 72,250
May:
Sales= 85,000
Desired ending inventory= 110,000*0.15= 16,500
Beginning inventory= (12,750)
Total production= 88,750
June:
Sales= 110,000
Desired ending inventory= 90,000*0.15= 13,500
Beginning inventory= (16,500)
Total production= 107,000
Total quarter= 268,000
Costs that are capitalized because they are expected to have future value are called product costs; costs that are expensed are called period costs. This classification is important because it affects the amount of costs expensed in the income statement and the amount of costs assigned to inventory on the balance sheet. Product costs are commonly made up of direct materials, direct labor, and overhead. Period costs include selling and administrative expenses.
A service company has which of the following costs
a. Direct Material
b. Overhead Costs
c. Product Costs
d. Expensed in the period incurred
Answer:
b. Overhead Costs
d. Expensed in the period incurred
Explanation:
-Direct material refers to the cost of the material used to manufacture a product.
-Overhead costs are the costs related to the operation of the business and they can't be assigned to a good or service.
-Product Costs are the costs to manufacture a product.
-Expensed in the period incurred are the period costs which are costs not related to the production of a good.
According to these definitions, a service company has the following costs: overhead costs and expensed in the period incurred because these are costs that are not related to the creation of a product.
On the other hand, the other options direct material and product costs are not right because these costs are directly related to products.

A small firm intends to increase the capacity of a bottleneck operation by adding a new machine. Two alternatives, A and B, have been identified, and the associated costs and revenues have been estimated. Annual fixed costs would be $38,000 for A and $31,000 for B; variable costs per unit would be $7 for A and $11 for B; and revenue per unit would be $19.
a. Determine each alternative’s break-even point in units. (Round your answer to the nearest whole amount.)
QBEP,A units
QBEP,B units
b. At what volume of output would the two alternatives yield the same profit? (Round your answer to the nearest whole amount.)
c. If expected annual demand is 10,000 units, which alternative would yield the higher profit?
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Machine A:
Fixed costs= $38,000
Unitary cost= $7
Machine B:
Fixed costs= $31,000
Unitary cost= $11
Revenue per unit= $19
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Machine A:
Break-even point in units= 38,000 / (19 - 7)
Break-even point in units= 3,167
Machine B:
Break-even point in units= 31,000 / (19 - 11)
Break-even point in units= 3,875
Now, we need to determine the indifference point:
Machine A= 38,000 + 7x
Machine B= 31,000 + 11x
x= number of units
We will equal both formulas and isolate x:
38,000 + 7x = 31,000 + 11x
7,000 = 4x
1,750=x
Indifference point= 1,750 units
Finally, the total cost for 10,000 units:
Machine A= 38,000 + 7*10,000= $108,000
Machine B= 31,000 + 11*10,000= $141,000

A company releases a? five-year bond with a face value of? $1000 and coupons paid semiannually. If market interest rates imply a YTM of 8%, which of the following coupon rates will cause the bond to be issued at a? premium?
A. 6%
B.10%
C. 8%
D. 5%
Answer: B.10%
Explanation:
For a bond to be issued at a premium, the Coupon rate needs to be higher than the current Market Yield to Maturity as this will cause the price of the bond to be higher than Par signifying that the bond is an attractive one.
If the Coupon rate is equal to the YTM then the bond will trade at Par.
If the Coupon rate is less than the YTM then the bond will trade at a discount.
Only 10% of the coupon rate will allow the bond by issued at a premium.
The coupon rate of a a bond refers to the amount of interest income earned each year based on the face value.
The yield to maturity of a band refers to the total estimated return if the bond is held until maturity.
When coupon rate is equal to YTM at issue, then, bond is issued at par value.When coupon rate is lower than YTM at issue, then, bond is issued at a discount.When coupon rate is higher than YTM at issue, then, bond is issued at a premium.
Therefore, the Option B is correct because only 10% of the coupon rate will allow the bond by issued at a premium

Ink Inc. has a capital structure consisting of 25 percent debt and 75 percent common equity financing. The company has $800 million in net income and plans to pay out 40 percent of their earnings as dividends. What is the maximum amount of new financing that the company can raise without selling new common stock?
Answer:
$640 million
Explanation:
The computation of maximum amount of new financing is shown below:-
New financing from equity = $800 million × (1 - 40%)
= $480 million
New financing from debt = $480 million ÷ 75% × 25%
= $160 million
Now the maximum amount of new financing is
= $480 million + $160 million
= $640 million
Hence, the maximum amount of new financing is $640 million
The price of oil in the United States has been very volatile over the last 50 years, with the real price of oil showing a few dramatic swings. When did these swings occur, and what can explain them?

The most recent swing happened in 2008 when there was a sharp ▼ rise drop in the real price of oil caused by
Answer:
The first dramatic swing happened in the 1970s when there was a sharp rise in the real price of oil caused by the formation of OPEC.
In 1973, the World saw it's first oil spike when members of the Organization of Oil Exporting Countries (OPEC) being mostly Muslims, decided to punish the Western World for their perceived support of the Israelis in the Yom Kippur War. They placed an embargo on the sale of oil to the West and because they controlled 56% of the then World supply, this was enough to force the price of oil up due to the reduction in demand.
The second swing happened in the 2000s when there was a sharp rise in the real price of oil caused by increased demand from emerging economies.
From the early 2000s to 2008, the price of oil kept rising steadily till it reached around $147.30 in July 2008. This rise in prices was due to increased demand from newly industrialized and emerging nations like China that needed the oil to maintain their rapid growth.
The most recent swing happened in 2008 when there was a sharp drop in the real price of oil caused by a large financial crisis.
By December 2008, the price of oil had fallen to $32 and this was down to the global recession that was ravaging the World known as the Great Recession. As the world saw economic output fall, demand for oil decreased sharply thereby forcing the price of oil to fall dramatically.
Systemic barriers to change occur because of conflicts between departments, conflicts arising from power relationships, and refusal to share information.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
This statement is true, as systemic barriers can occur in an organization whose information flow does not occur efficiently and effectively, which causes information noises that prevent departments or teams from receiving organizational information.
This barrier can be eliminated by establishing a more direct and integrated communication with all organizational sectors, in the form of announcements, murals, e-mail, etc.
Another way to solve this problem is by analyzing the design of the organizational structure and making adjustments if it is found that there are flaws that prevent the flow of information to flow normally.
Torrid Romance Publishers has total receivables of $3,000, which represents 20 days’ sales. Total assets are $75,000. The firm’s operating profit margin is 5%. Find the firm's ROA and asset turnover ratio.
Answer:
Assets turnover ratio= 0.73
ROA= 3.65%
Explanation:
Torrid romance publishers have a total receivables of $3,000, it represents a 20 days sales
The total assets is $75,000
The operating profit margin is 5%
= 5/100
= 0.05
The first step is to calculate the total sales
= $3,000×365/20
= $3,000×18.25
= $54,750
The asset turnover ratio can be calculated as follows
= Total sales/Total assets
= $54,750/$75,000
= 0.73
The ROA can be calculated as follows
= Assets turnover ratio×operating profit margin
= 0.73×0.05
= 0.0365×100
= 3.65%
Hence the assets turnover ratio and ROA is 0.73 and 3.65% respectively.
Internal rate of return method The internal rate of return method is used by Testerman Construction Co. in analyzing a capital expenditure proposal that involves an investment of $149,630 and annual net cash flows of $45,000 for each of the six years of its useful life. This information has been collected in the Microsoft Excel Online file. Open the spreadsheet, perform the required analysis, and input your answers in the question below. Open spreadsheet Determine the internal rate of return for the proposal.
Answer:
Testerman Construction Co.
Internal rate of return method in analyzing capital expenditure:
Present value of expenditure = $149,630
Present of cash inflows annuity = $149,630 (using 20% discount rate and present value annuity factor of 3.3251 x $45,000)
NPV = $0 (PV of cash outflow - PV of cash inflow)
Therefore, the IRR = 20%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Investment cost = $149,630
Annual net cash flows = $45,000
Investment period = 6 years
Annuity of future cash flows = 3.3251
b) Testerman’s IRR (Internal Rate of Return) is a capital budgeting and analysis tool which determines the discount rate that makes the present value of future inflows equal to the present value of outflows from a project. This IRR helps the managers to determine the projects that add value and are worth undertaking. IRR is based on assumptions. Similar projects with the same IRR will differ in returns due to the differences in timing and the size of the cash, the amount of debts and equity used to generate the returns, and the assumption of a constant reinvestment may which IRR makes.

Parker & Stone, Inc., is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park to produce garden tools. The company bought some land six years ago for $4.3 million in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent these facilities from a competitor instead. If the land were sold today, the company would net $4.6 million. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $11.8 million to build, and the site requires $700,000 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? (Enter your answer as a positive value in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567.)
Answer:
$17.1 million
Explanation:
The proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project can be calculated as follows
DATA
Fair value of land = 4.6 million
Cost to build a plant = 11.8 million
Grading cost = 0.7 million
Solution
Initial investment = Fair value of land + Cost to build a plant + Grading cost
Initial investment = $4.6 million + $11.8 million + $0.7 million
Initial investment = $17.1 million
A company with 99,006 authorized shares of $8 par common stock issued 48,828 shares at $13 per share. Subsequently, the company declared a 2% stock dividend on a date when the market price was $22 a share. What is the amount transferred from the retained earnings account to paid-in capital accounts as a result of the stock dividend?
A. $43,563
B. $21,484
C. $7,812
D. $13,672
Answer:
$21,484
Explanation:
A company has 99,006 authorized shares of $8 par
The common stock was issued at 48,828 shares at the price of $13 for one share
The company made a 2% dividend declaration
= 2/100
= 0.02
The market price is $22 per share
Therefore, the amount that was transferred from the retained earnings account to the paid-in capital accounts can be calculated as follows
= 48,828 shares × 0.02 × $22
= $21,484
Hence the amount that was moved from the retained earnings account to the paid-in capital accounts as a result of stock dividend is $21,484
Based on the following information, calculate the variable overhead rate variance. Actual variable overhead cost $15,500 Actual hours used 4,200 Standard hours allowed 4,000 Standard variable overhead rate $3.75 per hour
Answer:
Rate variance = $250 favorable
Explanation:
The variable overhead rate variance is the difference between the actual variable cost and the standard variable overhead cost the actual actual hours used.
We would compare the actual cost to the standard cost of the actual hours used . This is done below as follows:
$
4,200 hours should have cost (4200 × 3.75 ) 15,750
but did cost 15,500
Rate variance 250 Favorable
Note the actual hours of 4,200 cost $250 less than it should be have cost . Hence the variance is favorable
Rate variance = $250

Petrus Framing's cost formula for its supplies cost is $2,300 per month plus $6 per frame. For the month of March, the company planned for activity of 861 frames, but the actual level of activity was 856 frames. The actual supplies cost for the month was $7,790. The activity variance for supplies cost in March would be closest to:
Answer:
$30 Favorable
Explanation:
Calculation for the activity variance for supplies cost in March
Using this formula
Activity variance = (Actual units - Budgeted units) * Variable cost
Where,
Actual units=856
Budgeted units=861
Variable cost=$6
Let plug in the formula
Activity variance=(856-861) * $6
Activity variance=5*$6
Activity variance=$30 Favorable
Therefore the activity variance for supplies cost in March would be closest to: $30 Favorable
Suppose you have $ cash today and you can invest it to become worth $ in years. What is the present purchasing power equivalent of this $ when the average inflation rate over the first years is % per year, and over the last years it will be % per year?
Answer: $900,599.04
Explanation:
The present purchasing power equivalent is the present worth of this investment.
The investment will earn 5% for the first 7 years and then 9% for the next 10.
As there are different rates, the present worth calculation will have to reflect that.
At the end of the first 7 years, the present worth of the invested amount given 10 more years of investing at 9%. The Present worth is;
= 3,000,000(Present worth factor, 9%, 10 years)
= 3,000,000 * 0.4224
= $1,267,200
Then what is the Present worth of $1,267,200 in the current year given that it will be invested for 7 years at 5% to get to $1,267,200.
= 1,267,200 (Present worth factor, 5%, 7 years)
= 1,267,200 * 0.7107
= $900,599.04

Disturbed Corp. needs to raise $57 million to fund a new project. The company will sell shares at a price of $23.70 in a general cash offer and the company's underwriters will charge a spread of 7.5 percent. The direct flotation costs associated with the issue are $725,000 and the indirect costs are $445,000. How many shares need to be sold?
Answer: 2653438 shares
Explanation:
From the information given in the question, the following can be deduced:
The share price will be:
= $23.70 × (1 - 7.5%)
= $23.70 × (1 - 0.075)
= $23.70 × 0.925
= $21.9225
The money that will be raised will be:
= 57,000,000 + 725,000 + 445,000
= $58,170,000
The number of shares that are needed to be sold will be:
= $58,170,000/$21.9225
= 2653438 shares
