Answer:
C. Cellular telephones outnumbered landline telephones
Explanation:
The cordless or portable phones as a handset that could be used as a landline were made popular. The cellular industry was one of the fastest growing industry in the market and still maintains a strong global position.When a company assigns the costs of direct materials, direct labor, and both variable and fixed manufacturing overhead to products that company is using
Answer: Absorption costing
Explanation:
Absorption costing believes that all costs that went into the production of a good or service should be absorbed by/ apportioned to those same goods and services regardless of if the costs are direct or indirect.
It works by first assigning the direct costs such as labor and material and then it apportions the indirect costs such as the variable and fixed manufacturing overhead costs. Absorption costing is the preferred costing method for presenting financial statements outside the company by both IFRS and U.S. GAAP.

Jammer Company uses a weighted average perpetual inventory system and reports the following:
August 2 Purchase 24 units at $18.50 per unit. August 18 Purchase 26 units at $20.00 per unit. August 29 Sale 48 units. August 31 Purchase 29 units at $21.50 per unit.
What is the per-unit value of ending inventory on August 31? (Round your per unit answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer: $21.36
Explanation:
Weighted average inventory system works by taking the average of the inventory prices on the different days.
Price on August 29 which is date of sale:
= {(Units purchased on August 2 * Unit cost on August 2) + ( Units purchased on August 18 * Unit cost on August 18)] / (Units purchased on August 2 + Units purchased on August 18)
= [ ( 24 * 18.50) + (26 * 20) ] / (24 + 26)
= $19.28 per unit
48 units were sold so the number of units left are:
= 24 + 26 - 48
= 2 units
Price on August 31
= [ (Units remaining on August 29 * Unit cost on August 29) + ( Units purchased on August 31 * Unit cost on August 31)] / (Units remaining on August 29 + Units purchased on August 31)
= [ (2 * 19.28) + (29 * 21.50) ] / ( 2 + 29)
= $21.36

In 2019, Teller Company sold 3,000 units at $600 each. Variable expenses were $420 per unit, and fixed expenses were $270,000. The same selling price, variable expenses, and fixed expenses are expected for 2020. What is Teller’s break-even point in units for 2020? g
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 1,500
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $600
Unitary variable cost= $420
Fixed cost= $270,000
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
Break-even point in units= 270,000 / (600 - 420)
Break-even point in units= 1,500
process which is followed to monitor the movement of stock in a company
Answer:
it known as stock control
The quantity demanded for money is higher in Japan than in the United States because: telecommunications and information technology is more advanced in the United States than in Japan. Japanese interest rates are higher than those in the United States. Japanese interest rates are lower than those in the United States. Japanese consumers use credit cards more than people in the United States.
Answer:
Japanese interest rates are lower than those in the United States.
Explanation:
The demand for money (the decision to hold money) is inversely related to interest rate. if interest rate is high, individuals would prefer to hold bonds and the demand for money would fall. if interest rate is low, individuals would prefer to hold money.
the opportunity cost of holding money is what would have been earned if money was invested. if interest rate is low, individuals would prefer to hold more money because the amount that would be earned if money was invested in bonds would be low, so the opportunity cost of holding money would be low
If the demand for money is higher in Japan than in the United States, it is because interest rates are lower in Japan
Which one of the following affects cash during a period?
a. Recording depreciation expense
b. Declaration of a cash dividend
c. Write-off of an uncollectible account receivable
d. Payment of an accounts payable
Answer: d. Payment of an accounts payable
Explanation:
The payment of an accounts payable affects cash because it means that cash was used to pay off the payable in question and therefore the cash that the company holds has now reduced.
In the Statement of Cashflows, this is accounted for under the Operating Activities of the business. A decrease in accounts payable is subtracted from the net income to show that cash has reduced.
Two athletes of equal ability are competing for a prize of $10,000. Each is deciding whether to take a dangerous performance-enhancing drug. If one athlete takes the drug, and the other does not, the one who takes the drug wins the prize. If both or neither take the drug, they tie and split the prize. Taking the drug imposes health risks that are equivalent to a loss of X dollars
Required:
a. Draw a $2 payoff matrix describing the decisions the athletes face.
b. For what X is taking the drug the Nash equilibrium?
c. Does making the drug safer (that is, lowering X) make the athletes better or worse off? Explain.
Answer:
a) attached below.
b) for $x < $5000 will cause taking the drug to be part of the Nash equilibrium
c) will make the athletes feel better because the value their payoff will increase
Explanation:
a) 2 * 2 payoff matrix describing the decision faced by the athletes
attached below
when both players take the drug the payoff for each player = $5000 - x
when neither player takes the drug the payoff for each player = $5000
When only one player takes the drug his payoff = $10000 - x
b) If we consider the value of $x to be involved in the Nash equilibrium then
; $5000 - $x > 0 becomes the best response
hence for $x < $5000 will cause taking the drug to be part of the Nash equilibrium
c) Lowering the negative effect of the drug ( i.e. when the value of x is reduced )
will make the athletes feel better because the value their payoff will increase
Assume that a hypothetical economy with an MPC of 0.75 is experiencing severe recession. Instructions: In part a, round your answers to 2 decimal places. Enter positive numbers. In part b, enter your answers as whole numbers. a. By how much would government spending have to rise to shift the aggregate demand curve rightward by $25 billion? $ billion. How large a tax cut would be needed to achieve the same increase in aggregate demand? $ billion. b. Determine one possible combination of government spending increases and tax increases that would accomplish the same goal without changing the amount of outstanding debt (because it maintains a balanced budget, G = T).
Answer:
a-1. Amount of rise in government expenditure required = $6.25 billion
a-2. Tax multiplier = -3
b. The combination is as follows:
Increase in spending = $25 billion
increase in taxes = $25 billion
Explanation:
a-1. By how much would government spending have to rise to shift the aggregate demand curve rightward by $25 billion? $ billion.
Spending multiplier = 1 / (1 - MPC) = 1 / (1 - 0.75) = 4
Amount of rise in government expenditure required = Change in aggregate demand / Spending multiplier = $25 / 4 = $6.25 billion
a-2. How large a tax cut would be needed to achieve the same increase in aggregate demand? $ billion.
Tax multiplier = - MPC / (1 - MPC) = - 0.75 / (1 - 0.75) = -3
Amount of tax cut required = Change in aggregate demand / Tax multiplier = $25 / (-3) = $8.33 billion
b. Determine one possible combination of government spending increases and tax increases that would accomplish the same goal without changing the amount of outstanding debt (because it maintains a balanced budget, G = T).
The amount is the amount of the balanced budget, which has a multiplier of one. This indicates that spending and taxes need be increased by $25 billion each to boost GDP by $125 billion. Therefore, the combination is as follows:
Increase in spending = $25 billion
increase in taxes = $25 billion
Stock Rit Rmt ai Beta
A 10.6 15Â Â Â 0 0.8
Z Â 9.8 8 0 1.1
Rit = return for stock i during period t
Rmt = return for the aggregate market during period t
What is the abnormal rate of return for Stock Z during period t using only the aggregate market return (ignore differential systematic risk)?
a. 3.40
b. 4.40
c. 1.80
d. -4.40
E.
-1.70
Answer:
1.8 option c
Explanation:
this question has a very simple solution
the following definitions
Rit = return for stock i during period t
Rmt = return for the aggregate market during period t
The abnormal rate of return for stock z is = Rit - Rmt
Rit = 9.8
Rmt = 8
9.8 - 8 = 1.8
therefore the abnormal rte of return for stock z is = 1.8, which is option c
Countess Corp. is expected to pay an annual dividend of $4.81 on its common stock in one year. The current stock price is $75.67 per share. The company announced that it will increase its dividend by 3.80 percent annually. What is the company's cost of equity
Answer:
10.40 %
Explanation:
Use the Dividend Growth Model to calculate the Cost of Equity since the information provided allows for this method.
Cost of equity = Expected Dividend / Market Price + Growth rate
therefore,
Cost of equity = ($4.81 x 1.038) / $75.67 + 3.80
= 10.40 %

With its current levels of input use, a firm's MRTS is 1/3 (when capital is on the vertical axis and labor is on the horizontal axis). This implies:__________.
A. the firm conld produce 3 more units of output if it increased its use of capital by one unit (holding labor constat).
B. the firm could produce 3 more units of output if it increased its use of labor by one unit (holding capital constant).
C. if the firm reduced its capital stock by one unit, it would have to hire 3 more worlkers to maintain its eurrent level of output.
D. the marginal product of labor is 3 times the marginal product of capital.
Answer: A. the firm could produce 3 more units of output if it increased its use of capital by one unit (holding labor constant).
Explanation:
The Marginal Rate of Technical Substitution(MRTS) is calculated as follows:
= Marginal product of labor / Marginal product of capital
= 1 / 3
Marginal product of labor = 1
Marginal product of capital = 3
This means that if one unit of labor is used, it produces 1 unit of output.
If one unit of capital is used however, it produces 3 units of output.
If a firm therefore used one unit of capital and kept labor constant, it could produce 3 units out output.
Refer to Exhibit 4-3. Suppose that the government imposes a price ceiling at a price of $12. The result would be a ________________ of _____________ units of good Z.
Answer:
The correct option is c. shortage, 70. That is, the result would be a shortage of 70 units of good Z.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Exhibit 4-3
PRICE OF GOOD Z:
$10 // QD: 300 // QS: 160
$12 // QD: 250 // QS: 180
$14 // QD: 200 // QS: 200
$16 // QD: 150 // QS: 220
Refer to Exhibit 4-3. Suppose that the government imposes a price ceiling at a price of $12. The result would be a ________________ of _____________ units of good Z.
a. surplus, 70
b. surplus, 20
c. shortage, 70
d. shortage, 20
The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:
A price ceiling can be described as a maximum price set by the government whereby it is illegal to sell the good above it. A price ceiling will cause a product shortage if it is set below the product's equilibrium price.
Equilibrium price is the price at which quantity demanded (QD) is equal to the quantity supplied (QS).
From Exhibit 4-3, QD is equal to QS is equal to 200 at the price of $14. This implies that the ceiling price of $12 imposed by the government is below the equilibrium price.
Based Exhibit 4-3. the units of shortage of goods Z at $12 can be calculated as follows:
Units of shortage of goods Z at the price of $12 = QD at the price of $12 – QS at the price of $12 = 250 - 180 = 70 units
Therefore, the correct option is c. shortage, 70. That is, the result would be a shortage of 70 units of good Z.

Suppose Brian and Crystal are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action Left or Right. The payoff matrix that follows shows the payoff each person will earn as a function of both of their choices. For example, the lower-right cell shows that if Brian chooses Right and Crystal chooses Right, Brian will receive a payoff of 5 and Crystal will receive a payoff of 6.
Crystal
Left Right
Left 6, 3 6,4
Brian Right 3, 3 7,4
The only dominant strategy in this game is for_____to choose____. The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Brian chooses____and Crystal chooses____.
Answer:
The only dominant strategy in this game is for Crystal to choose Right. The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Brian chooses Right and Crystal chooses Right.
Explanation:
Given:
Crystal
Left Right
Brian Left 6, 3 6, 4
Right 3, 3 7, 4
A dominant strategy refers to a strategy that makes a player being better off regardless of the choice his opponent in a game.
It can be seen from the payoff matrix above that when Brian plays Left, Crystal chooses Right because 4 > 3. Also, when Brian plays Right, Crystal chooses Right because 4 > 3. The indication of this is that Crystal will always choose Right no matter what Brian chooses. This means that the dominant strategy for Crystal is Right.
On the other hand, when Crystal Chooses Left, Brian will also choose Left because 6 > 3. And when Crystal chooses Right, Brian will also play Right because 7 > 6. This is an indication that Brian does not have any specific strategy that makes him better off. Therefore, Brian does not have a dominant strategy.
Based on the analysis above, we have:
The only dominant strategy in this game is for Crystal to choose Right. The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Brian chooses Right and Crystal chooses Right.

Hanna, Marnie, and Jessa have operated a partnership as filmmakers for a number of years. At the end of the year, before any allocation of profits, the partners have the following capital account balances:
Hanna $25.000
Marnie 15.000
Jessa 10.000
The partnership agreement states that profits should be allocated in proportion to the capital account balances. If the partnership earns $600,000 in the current year, how much of the profit will be allocated to Marnie?
a. $600,000.
b. $180,000.
c. $200,000.
d. $150,000.
Answer: b. $180,000
Explanation:
Profit should be allocated according to capital account balances. Marnie's capital account proportion is:
= 15,000 / (25,000 + 15,000 + 10,000)
= 15,000 / 50,000
= 30%
If the profit is $600,000, Marnie's share is:
= 30% * 600,000
= $180,000

WoodCore Inc. produces an entire line of office furniture at its manufacturing facility in the United States and then ships its products for sale to various companies in Europe. WoodCore Inc. is involved in A. outsourcing. B. licensing. C. franchising. D. exporting. E. diversifying.
Answer: D. exporting
Explanation:
Exporting is the sale of goods to other countries apart from your own even though the goods being sold were produced in your own country.
Exporting works best when the country doing the exporting is capable of producing the goods being exported at a lower price than the country that it is sending to, that way the people in that country have an incentive to buy it over locally made products. WoodCore is producing in the U.S. and selling elsewhere. This is exporting.
Assume the equivalent units of production for materials and conversion, when using the weighted-average method, are 5,200 units and 5,000 units, respectively. If the equivalent units in ending work in process inventory for materials and conversion are 400 units and 200 units, respectively, then what is the total cost of ending work in process for the Milling Department
Answer:
$39520
Explanation:
The computation of the total cost of ending work in process for the Milling Department is given below:
But before that the equivalent cost per unit is
Material = $301600 ÷ 5200
= $58 per unit
And,
Conversion = $408000 ÷ 5000
= $81.60 per unit
So,
Ending Work in Process = 400 × $58 + 200 × $81.60
= $39520

1-a. How much will net operating income increase (decrease) per month if the monthly advertising budget increases by $8,400, the monthly sales volume increases by 100 units, and the total monthly sales increase by $9,500? 1-b. Should the advertising budget be increased?
Answer:
a. Income before advertising budget increase:
= Contribution margin - Fixed costs
= (38 * 3,600) - 79,000
= $57,800
Income after advertising budget increases:
= Sales - Variable expenses - Fixed expenses
Sales = (3,600 + 100 units) * 95 per unit
= $351,500
Variable expenses = 60% * 351,500
= $210,900
Fixed expenses = 79,000 + 8,400 advertising
= $87,400
Income = 351,500 - 210,900 - 87,400
= $53,200
b. Income decreased with the increase in advertising so Advertising budget should not be increased.
The weekly total cost of baking pies at Tasty Tortes is given by TC = 0.01 Q 1.5. Tasty’s marginal cost of producing 10,000 pies a week is:
Answer: $1.50
Explanation:
TC = 0.01Q⁰.⁵
You get marginal cost when you differentiate the total cost.
MC = dTC / dQ
= 1.5 * 0.01 * Q¹.⁵ ⁻ ¹
= 0.015 * Q⁰.⁵
When Q is 10,000, the marginal cost is:
