Answer: c. the agreement among the three is a novation.
Explanation:
A novation refers to a situation whereby a party to a contract is replaced by another party. That means that the duties and benefits of the party being replaced will be passed on to the new party to the contract.
In this scenario, Brian was replaced in the mortgage contract by Pierce and Pierce assumed all liability related to the land in question. This is therefore a novation.
Cardinal Company manufactures vitamin capsules. For the month of June, Cardinal's encapsulating department had 18,000 tons in beginning inventory (with transferred-in costs of $4,400) and 81,000 tons completed inventory during the month. Further, the mixing department completed and transferred out 72,000 tons at a cost of $22,300 in June. Calculate unit cost for the transferred-in category. (Note: Round answer to two decimal places.)
Answer: $0.30 per unit
Explanation:
The unit cost for the transferred-in category is calculated as:
= (Transfer cost of beginning inventory + transfer cost of transferred out inventory) / (Beginning inventory + Inventory transferred out)
= (4,400 + 22,300) / (18,000 + 72,000)
= 26,700 / 90,000
= 0.2967
= $0.30 per unit
If a nation has a comparative disadvantage in the production of some commodity: Group of answer choices it cannot gain from international trade unless it has an absolute advantage in every other commodity. it can gain from international trade in that commodity only if it has an absolute advantage in that commodity. it cannot gain from international trade in the commodity. it can still gain from international trade in that commodity, by getting it at a lower opportunity cost than if it produced it domestically.
Answer:
it can still gain from international trade in that commodity, by getting it at a lower opportunity cost than if it produced it domestically.
Explanation:
A country has comparative disadvantage in production if it produces at a higher opportunity cost when compared to other countries.
The country with a comparative disadvantage can gain from trade by trading the good with a country that has comparative advantage in the production of that good. i.e. the country produces at a lower opportunity cost
For example, country A produces 10kg of beans and 5kg of rice. Country B produces 5kg of beans and 10kg of rice.
for country A,
opportunity cost of producing beans = 5/10 = 0.5
opportunity cost of producing rice = 10/5 = 2
for country B,
opportunity cost of producing rice = 5/10 = 0.5
opportunity cost of producing beans = 10/5 = 2
Country B has a comparative disadvantage in the production of beans and country A has a comparative disadvantage in the production of rice
Country B should buy beans from A and A should buy rice from B

Smith, an individual calendar-year taxpayer, purchased 100 shares of Core Co. common stock for $15,000 on December 15, Year 1, and an additional 100 shares for $13,000 on December 30, Year 1. On January 3, Year 2, Smith sold the shares purchased on December 15, Year 1, for $13,000. What amount of loss from the sale of Core's stock is deductible on Smith's Year 1 and Year 2 income tax returns
Answer:
Year 1 = $0Year 2 = $0Explanation:
Stock was sold in year 2 so there is no loss that would be deductible from Smith's Year 1 income tax returns.
In year 2, the stock was sold for $13,000 even though it was bought for $15,000. There is therefore a loss of $2,000.
This $2,000 results from a wash sale however so it will not be deductible. A wash sale is used to describe a scenario where stock from one transaction is sold but was the investor buys that same stock in another transaction 30 days before or after they sold the former.
As Smith purchased another $13,000 worth of stock merely 16 days before he sold the first batch, this is a wash sale and its loss is not deductible.
Azure, a C corporation, reports the following: Pretax book income is $543,000. Depreciation on the tax return is $20,000 greater than depreciation on the financial statements. Rent income reportable on the tax return is $36,000 greater than rent income per the financial statements. Fines for pollution appear as a $10,000 expense in the financial statements. Interest earned on municipal bonds is $25,000. What is Azure's taxable income
Answer:
Azure's taxable income is $544,000.
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Taxable income = Pretax book income - Excess depreciation + Prepaid rental income + Fines for pollution - Municipal interest income ………………… (1)
Substituting all the relevant values into equation (1), we have:
Taxable income = $543,000 - $20,000 + $36,000 + $10,000 - $25,000 = $544,000
Therefore, Azure's taxable income is $544,000.

Minstrel Manufacturing uses a job order costing system. During one month, Minstrel purchased $212,400 of raw materials on credit; issued materials to production of $207,000 of which $33,600 were indirect. Minstrel incurred a factory payroll of $157,200, of which $43,600 was indirect labor. Minstrel uses a predetermined overhead application rate of 150% of direct labor cost. Minstrel's beginning and ending Work in Process Inventory are $16,700 and $29,400 respectively. Compute the cost of jobs transferred to Finished Goods Inventory.
Answer:
$444,700
Explanation:
Use the following formula to calculate the cost of products transferred to finished goods
Cost of products transferred to finished goods = Beginning inventory + direct materials + Direct labor + Applied OH 150% - Ending Inventory
Placing values in the formula
Cost of products transferred to finished goods = 16,700 + ( $207,000 - $33,600 ) + ( $157,200 - $43,600 ) + ( ( $157,200 - $43,600 ) x 150% ) - $29,400
Cost of products transferred to finished goods = 16,700 + 173,400 + 113,600 + 170,400 - $29,400
Cost of products transferred to finished goods = $444,700

What is the opportunity cost in this scenario?
Mikael has saved $4,000 for his trip to Brazil. He has calculated that his total transportation expenses will be $1,000. The hotel will cost him
another $1,500. He will spend about $500 on food. He plans on spending the remaining $1,000 for sightseeing and buying souvenirs.
While booking his plane ticket, he realizes that the price has gone up. His total transportation expenses will go up by $200. He realizes that he
cannot cancel his hotel reservation. He also doesn't want to go cheap on food. Finally, he decides to give up visiting the popular Ouro Preto

In this case, due to the increase in the price of the plane ticket, Mikael decides to give up visiting the popular Ouro Preto during his stay in Brazil even though it was earlier planned. Therefore, it can be infered that sightseeing is the opportunity cost as that is what he forgoes in order to choose a different alternative.

Economists generally argue that:
A. costs of moderate inflation are nearly zero whereas high inflation is quite costly.
B. high inflation is costly, but costs of moderate inflation are not nearly as large as the public believes.
C. costs of both high and moderate inflation are quite large.
D. neither high inflation nor moderate inflation is very costly.
Answer: A. costs of moderate inflation are nearly zero whereas high inflation is quite costly.
Explanation:
Economists generally believe that moderate inflation is actually good for the economy as prices need to increase in a healthy manner overtime in order to drive consumption. This means that to them, the cost of moderate inflation is nearly zero.
This is a sharp contrast to high inflation which most economists generally believe to be costly as it reduces the savings of people as well as their real wages and welfare.
Roger Company sold machinery for a total price of $20,000 to be paid in four equal installments, plus interest. The first payment was made in the current year. The original cost of the machinery was $12,000 and $8,000 of depreciation had been taken on it. Ignoring interest income, what amount of income must Roger Company recognize in the current year under the installment method for this sale
Answer:
$8,000 ordinary income and $2,000 capital gain.
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what amount must Roger recognize in the current year
Since total gain is $16,000 calculated using this formula
Total gain=Selling price-Basis
Total gain=$20,000-$4,000
Total gain=16,000
Which means that he must recognize the complete $8,000 . Hence, the revised gain of $8,000 will be the ORDINARY INCOME in the current year which is calculated as:
Ordinary Income=Selling price-Adjusted basis
Ordinary Income=$20,000-$12,000
Ordinary Income=$8,000
Lastly is to determine The gross profit percentage of which will be applied to each using this formula
Gross profit percentage=Gross profit ÷Contract price
Gross profit percentage=$8,000 ÷ $20,000
Gross profit percentage=40%
Hence, the CAPITAL GAIN for the current year will be:
Capital gain = [($20,000 ÷ 4) × 40%]
Capital gain=$2,000
Therefore the amount that Roger must recognize in the current year is $8,000 ordinary income and $2,000 capital gain.

When a transfer has no effect on fixed costs, to be acceptable to the selling division, the transfer price must ______. Multiple select question. cover any opportunity cost from lost sales cover a reasonable portion of the selling division's fixed costs cover any lost contribution margin due to the transfer equal the product's normal selling price cover the variable costs per unit
Answer:
• cover any opportunity cost from lost sales
• cover any lost contribution margin due to the transfer
• cover the variable costs per unit
Explanation:
A transfer is done from one division in a company to another.
When such is done, the transfer price should cover any opportunity costs that the division doing the transferring would be incurring to do so that way they would not make an economic loss.
Lost contribution margin should be covered as well for the same reason which is avoidance of cost.
Variable costs have to at least be covered so that the division does not make an accounting loss.

Charley spends all of his income on soft drinks and pizza. Suppose he is currently buying these products in amounts such that his marginal benefit from an additional soft drink is and his marginal benefit from an additional slice of pizza is . If the price of a soft drink is and the price of a slice of pizza is , is Charley maximizing his total benefits? A. No, he should increase his consumption of both goods. B. No, he should shift consumption toward and away from to maximize total benefits. C. Yes, there is no other consumption choice that will make his total benefits greater. D. No, he should shift consumption toward and away from to maximize total benefits.'
Answer:
The correct option is B. No, he should shift consumption toward soft drinks and away from pizza to maximize total benefits.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete because some important figures and points are missing in it. These figures and points are therefore provided to complete the question before answering it as follows:
Charley spends all of his income on soft drinks and pizza. Suppose he is currently buying these products in amounts such that his marginal benefit from an additional soft drink is $100 and his marginal benefit from an additional slice of pizza is $110. If the price of a soft drink is $2 and the price of a slice of pizza is $3, is Charley maximizing his total benefits?
A. No, he should increase his consumption of both goods.
B. No, he should shift consumption toward soft drinks and away from pizza to maximize total benefits.
C. Yes, there is no other consumption choice that will make his total benefits greater.
D. No, he should shift consumption toward pizza and away from soft drinks to maximize total benefits.'
The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
Under utility maximization theory, the condition for the utility or benefit maximization for two goods is as follows:
MBs / Ps = MBp / Pp ……………………………. (1)
Where:
MBs = Marginal benefit from an additional soft drink = $100
MBp = Marginal benefit from an additional slice of pizza =$110
Ps = Price of a soft drink = $2
Pp = Price of a slice of pizza = $3
Subtitling the relevant values, we have:
MBs / Ps = Marginal utility per dollar spent on soft drinks = $100 / $2 = 50
MBp / Pp = Marginal utility per dollar spent on soft pizza = $110 / $3 = 36.67
This implies that 50 = MBs / Ps > MBp / Pp = 36.67
The decision rule is that the limited money income should be spent by a consumer on the good which gives the higher marginal utility per dollar in order to maximize marginal benefit.
Since 50 = MBs / Ps > MBp / Pp = 36.67 above, this implies that Charley is NOT maximizing his total benefits. To maximize his total benefits, Charley should consume more of soft drinks and less of pizza until the condition is consistent with equation (1).
Therefore, the correct option is B. No, he should shift consumption toward soft drinks and away from pizza to maximize total benefits.
The government has adopted an emissions tax if it: Group of answer choices specifies the type of catalytic converter that must be used to reduce automobile emissions. pays automobile drivers 10 cents for each 10% reduction in automobile emissions. charges automobile drivers 10 cents for each unit of automobile emissions. transfers the ownership of city air to a private firm that charges automobile drivers a profit-maximizing price, based in part on the pollution capacity of the atmosphere.
Answer:
charges automobile drivers 10 cents for each unit of automobile emissions.
Explanation:
Pollution can be defined as the physical degradation or contamination of the environment through an emission of harmful, poisonous and toxic chemical substances.
Taxation can be defined as the involuntary or compulsory fees levied on individuals or business entities by the government to generate revenues used for funding public institutions and activities.
An emission tax can be defined as tax levied on manufacturers or road users such as drivers for the amount of pollution dispersed into the environment.
Hence, the government has adopted an emissions tax if it charges automobile drivers 10 cents for each unit of automobile emissions.
During the Great Depression, a. the pineapple industry finally became highly profitable as world demand for fruits rose. b. Latin America developed a mature regional economy, which exported large quantities of manufactured goods and imported most of its foodstuffs and raw materials. c. revolutions occurred all over Latin America. d. Latin American economies boomed, in contrast to those of the United States and Europe. e. domestic instability led to the creation of dictatorships.
Answer:
e. domestic instability led to the creation of dictatorships.
Explanation:
The Great Depression was a period of severe economic meltdown or downturn (crisis) of the industrialized world and it started from the United States of America, typically lasting for about ten years (1929-139).
Basically, the Great Depression started in America on the 4th of September, 1929 as a result of a major fall in the prices of stocks and consequently, leading to a stock market crash on the 29th of October, 1929.
Hence, the negative effects of the Great Depression includes a decline in investments, tax revenues, market price, personal income level, consumer spending, profits and a general rise in unemployment rate.
During the Great Depression, domestic instability led to the creation of dictatorships and autocratic leaderships (government) across many countries.
Generally, dictatorship is characterized by a single leader (dictator) having absolute power and as such he or she makes all the rules, policies and decisions without consulting or taking suggestions from anyone else.
A builder and a wealthy landowner entered into a written contract whereby the builder would build on the grounds of the landowner's estate a mausoleum, using imported Italian granite, to hold the remains of the landowner's recently deceased wife. The cost of the mausoleum was set at $100,000. After the contract was signed but before construction began, the builder learned that an unforeseen embargo prevented him from getting the granite he planned to use to build the mausoleum. He could get the granite from another source, but it would cost an additional $25,000. The builder explained the situation to the landowner, who agreed to pay $125,000 to have the mausoleum built. The builder prepared a writing stating that the price for the mausoleum was now $125,000. Both the builder and the landowner signed the writing. After the work was completed, the landowner gave the builder a certified check for $100,000 and refused to pay one penny more.If the builder brings suit against the landowner to recover the additional $25,000, will the builder likely prevail?A Yes, because the modification was fair and equitable in view of the unanticipated increase in the cost of granite.B Yes, because the later agreement was in writing and signed by the parties.C No, because the builder had a preexisting duty to do the work for $100,000.D No, because the 25% increase in price that the builder was trying to force on the landowner is unconscionable.
Answer:
If the builder brings suit against the landowner to recover the additional $25,000, the builder will likely prevail:
A Yes, because the modification was fair and equitable in view of the unanticipated increase in the cost of granite.
Explanation:
When the parties signed the original contract, the embargo on the importation of granite was not fully anticipated. When the builder brought the modification to the landowner's attention, the landowner did not object. Instead, he gladly and understandably signed the modified terms. It was based on his modified agreement that the builder was able to perform his own side of the contract. Therefore, the landowner should be honorable enough to abide by the modified contract price, which is, overall, not unconscionable.

In strategic management, both the short-term and long-term perspectives need to be considered because a. the creative tension between the two forces managers to develop more successful strategy. b. shareholders only care about long-term returns c. shareholder value is only measured by short-term returns. d. long-term vision precludes the analysis of present operating needs.
Answer:
a. the creative tension between the two forces managers to develop more successful strategy.
Explanation:
It is correct to say that short-term and long-term strategies must be designed individually as the creative tension between the two forces managers to develop more successful strategies.
It is essential that in strategic planning the short-term and long-term action plans are well specified, so that the strategic development understands the organizational whole and the strategies are aligned, since the short-term actions will consequently impact those of long term.
