Explanation:
The budgeted direct labor cost for August can be computed by multiplying the labor rate per hour by the labor hours worked in August.
Assume one unit consumes 0.50 labor hours, the labor hours worked in August are;
Labor hours - August = 0.50 × 8,100 = 4,050 labor hours
Therefore, the labor cost for August are budgeted to be;
Direct labor cost - August = 4,050 × $21 = $85,050

A young investment manager tells his client that the probability of making a positive return with his suggested portfolio is 80%. If it is known that returns are normally distributed with a mean of 8%, what is the risk, measured by standard deviation, that this investment manager assumes in his calculation
Answer:
9.5%
Explanation:
we solve for the z value using
z = barX - μ/σ
= 0-0.08/σ
= p(x>0) = 0.80
1-0.80 = 0.20
0-0.08/σ = 0.20
using the z calculator we find the z score using a p value of 0.20
= -0.842
0-0.08/σ = -0.842
-0.08 = -0.842σ
Divide through by -0.842
0.08/0.842 = σ
0.095 = σ
The risk measured by the standard deviation at 80%= 9.5%

The following units of an inventory item were available for sale during the year. Beginning inventory 10 units at $55 First purchase 25 units at $60 Second purchase 30 units at $65 Third purchase 15 units at $70 The firm uses the periodic inventory system. During the year, 60 units of the item were sold. The ending inventory cost using FIFO is
Answer:
$1,375
Explanation:
Given the information above, the Ending inventory = Units available - Units sold
Units available = 10 + 25 + 30 + 70 = 80
Units sold = 60
Ending inventory = 80 - 60
Ending inventory = 20
Cost of ending inventory under FIFO
= (15 × $70) + (20 - 15) × $65
= $1,050 + $325
= $1,375
Therefore, the ending inventory cost using FIFO is $1,375

Bond J has a coupon rate of 3 percent and Bond K has a coupon rate of 9 percent. Both bonds have 13 years to maturity, make semiannual payments, and have a YTM of 6 percent. a. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage price change of these bonds
Solution :
Given :
Coupon rate for Bond J = 3%
Coupon rate for Bond K = 9%
YTM = 6 %
Therefore,
The current price for Bond J = $ 718.54 =PV(6%/2,13x2,30/2,1000)x -1
The current price for Bond K = $ 1281.46 =PV(6%/2,13x2,90/2,1000)x -1
If the interest rate by 2%,
Bond J = $ 583.42 = -18.80% (change in bond price)
Bond K = $ 1083.32 = -15.46% (change in bond price)

In the market for tomatoes, assume the market demand is perfectly inelastic and the market supply is inelastic. If a tax is placed on the suppliers in this market, how will the tax burden be distributed
Answer:
Consumers will bear all the tax
Explanation:
O Consumers will bear a greater burden of the tax, but not all the tax. O Consumers and producers will bear the tax burden equally O Producers will bear all the tax Consumers will bear all the tax O Producers will bear a greater burden of the tax, but not all of the tax.
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
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.
The party with the less elastic demand bears the tax burden

Explanation:
Consider a model in which two products, x and y, are produced. There are 30 pounds of material and 60 hours of labor available. It requires 9 pounds of material and 12 hours of labor to produce a unit of x, and 5 pounds of material and 15 hours of labor to produce a unit of y. The profit for x is $300 per unit, and the profit for y is $250 per unit.
Required:
How many units of x and y to produce to maximize profit, the model is
Answer:
2 units of x and 2 units of y
Explanation:
The model can be represented as:
[tex]\begin{array}{cccc} & {x} & {y} & {} & {Materials} & {9} & {5} & {30} & {Labor} & {12} & {15} & {60} & {} & {300} & {250} \ \end{array}[/tex]
So, we have:
Max [tex]z = 300x + 250y[/tex] --- the objective function
Subject to:
[tex]9x + 5y \le 30[/tex]
[tex]12x + 15y \le 60[/tex]
[tex]x,y > 0[/tex]
Multiply the first equation by 3
[tex]9x + 5y \le 30[/tex] becomes
[tex]27x + 15y \le 90[/tex]
Subtract [tex]12x + 15y \le 60[/tex] from [tex]27x + 15y \le 90[/tex]
[tex]27x - 12x + 15y - 15y \le 90 - 60[/tex]
[tex]15x \le 30[/tex]
Divide by 15
[tex]x \le 2[/tex]
Substitute 2 for x in [tex]9x + 5y \le 30[/tex]
[tex]9 * 2 + 5y \le 30[/tex]
[tex]18 + 5y \le 30[/tex]
Collect like terms
[tex]5y \le 30 - 18[/tex]
[tex]5y \le 12[/tex]
Divide by 5
[tex]y \le 2.4[/tex]
y must be an integer;
So:
[tex]y \le 2[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex](x,y) \le (2,2)[/tex]
Hence, the company must product 2 units of x and 2 units of y
Which firm will have a higher level of economic performance: a) a firm with valuable, rare, and costly-to imitate resources and capabilities operating in a very attractive industry or b) a firm with valuable, rare, costly-to-imitate resources and capabilities operating in a very unattractive industry
Answer: a) a firm with valuable, rare, and costly-to imitate resources and capabilities operating in a very attractive industry.
Explanation:
Companies that have valuable, rare and costly to imitate resources and capabilities will see a better economic performance overall because they are offering the market something that not a lot of companies are offering which gives them the opportunity to increase profitability.
This would be even more effective if the company was in an attractive industry. An attractive industry means that there are a lot of buyers and sellers but because the company has costly to imitate resources, they will worry less about the sellers and gain more buyers thereby helping them to perform better.
AutoEdge hires a new economic analyst who decides to compute marginal profit for each product line. What might cause AutoEdge to stop producing a certain auto part erroneously?
Answer:
AutoEdge will stop producing a certain auto part when its marginal profit becomes zero.
Explanation:
Marginal profit is the difference between the marginal cost of production and marginal revenue earned from the sale of the same. Marginal profit is supposed to occur when an additional unit of product or auto part is sold.
When these increment in profit stops, then the economic analyst at AutoEdge knows that it is time to stop producing additional units of the auto part. This is because increasing output no longer tends towards profit.
The new economic analyst at AutoEdge will advise management to stop increasing production when its marginal cost is equal to its marginal revenue because at that point the profit is maximized. This point where MC=MR is also the point where Marginal Profit equals zero.
This is called Shut Down point. Beyond this point, the marginal profit of the firm becomes negative. Hence any production activity carried out at this point will be termed erroneous.
