Answer: 17 months
Explanation:
The number of months it would take to cover these costs is found by:
= Total closing costs/ Saving per month
Savings per month:
= Old monthly payment - New monthly payment
= 1,020 - 949
= $71
Number of months it would take = 1,200 / 71
= 16.90
= 17 months

The burden of a tax is shared by producers and consumers. Under what conditions will consumers pay most of the tax? Under what conditions will producers pay most of it? A. It depends on who is legally obligated to pay the tax. Typically producers are required to pay the tax and therefore bear most of the burden. B. If demand is relatively more elastic than supply, producers will pay more of the tax. C. It depends on who is legally obligated to pay the tax. Typically consumers are required to pay the tax and therefore bear most of the burden. D. If demand is relatively less elastic than supply, producers will pay more of the tax.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
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.
If demand is more elastic than supply, if price is increased as a result of tax, demand would fall more than supply. As a result, producers would bear more tax burden
Perteet Corporation's relevant range of activity is 6,600 units to 13,000 units. When it produces and sells 9,800 units, its average costs per unit are as follows: Average Cost per Unit Direct materials $ 7.30 Direct labor $ 3.70 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.80 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 3.10 Fixed selling expense $ 0.70 Fixed administrative expense $ 0.40 Sales commissions $ 0.50 Variable administrative expense $ 0.55 If 7,300 units are produced, the total amount of manufacturing overhead cost is closest to:
Answer:
Total overhead cost= $43,520
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.80
Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 3.10
First, we need to calculate the total fixed overhead:
Total fixed overhead= 3.1*9,800 = $30,380
Now, the total overhead cost for 7,300 units:
Total variable overhead= 7,300*1.8= 13,140
Total fixed overhead= 30,380
Total overhead cost= $43,520
Your home insurance provides for replacement value for personal property losses. A microwave is stolen. It cost $258 two years ago and has an expected life of six years. A comparable microwave costs $366 today. What amount will the insurance company pay
Answer: $366
Explanation:
Replacement Cost Coverage refers to the valuation methods for the establishment of the value of an insured property which is used in knowing the amount that an insurer will
have to pay in case there is a loss and in such case, the insurance company will have to pay the costs at the present price to replace the damaged product.
Since the comparable microwave costs $366 today, therefore the insurance company will pay $366.
You expect to receive $5,400 two years from now, $6,300 three years from now, and $10,900 six years from now. What is the future value of these cash flows seven years from now if the interest rate is 7.4 percent, compounded annually
Answer:
Total FV= $27,805.2
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
You expect to receive $5,400 two years from now, $6,300 three years from now, and $10,900 six years from now.
Interest rate= 7.4%
To calculate the Future Value, we need to use the following formula:
FV= Cf*(1 + i)^n
Cf1= 5,400*(1.074^5)= 7,716.41
Cf2= 6,300*(1.074^4)= 8,382.19
Cf3= 10,900*1.074= 11,706.6
Total FV= $27,805.2

Synovec Company is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 30 percent for the next three years, with the growth rate falling off to a constant 4 percent thereafter. If the required return is 10 percent, and the company just paid a dividend of $2.65, what is the current share price
Answer:
$87.03
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the current share price
First step is to calculate p1
p1= $2.65(1+.30)^3(1+.04) / (.10 - .04)
p1= $2.65(1.30)^3(1.04) / (.10 - .04)
p1=6.054932/.06
p1=100.92
Now let calculate the Current price
p0= [$2.65(1.30) / 1.10] +[$2.65(1.30)^2 / 1.10^2] + [$2.65(1.30)^3 / 1.10^3] + [$100.92/ 1.10^3]
p0=3.1318+4.4782/1.21+5.82205/1.331+$100.92/1.331+
p0=3.1318+3.700992+4.37419+75.82
p0=$87.03
Therefore the current share price is $87.03

In the United States, if the price of imported oil rises so that the prices of gasoline and heating oil rise, then the a. consumer price index rises much more than does the GDP deflator. b. consumer price index rises slightly more than does the GDP deflator. c. GDP deflator rises much more than does the consumer price index. d. GDP deflator and the consumer price index rise by about the same amount.
Answer: a. consumer price index rises much more than does the GDP deflator.
Explanation:
The Consumer Price Index is a measure of inflation. It shows the change in the prices of a basket of goods over a period of time. If the prices of gasoline and heating oil rise, this basket will be affected and so Consumer Price Index (CPI) will increase.
GDP deflator on the other hand, adjusts the nominal GDP to a Real GDP measure. Not everything will increase in price in the country as a result of oil going up so GDP will not change by much which would limit the increase in the GDP deflator.
The CPI will therefore rise more than the GDP deflator.

Hannah, age 70 and single, is claimed as a dependent by her daughter. During 2020, Hannah had interest income of $2,550 and $850 of earned income from babysitting. Hannah's taxable income is:
Answer: $550
Explanation:
Standard deduction is the greater of $1,050 or the sum of the earned income and $350.
= Earned income + 350 = $1,200
Additional deduction for single seniors in 2020 is $1,650.
Total deduction is:
= 1,200 + 1,650
= $2,850
Hannah's taxable income is:
= 2,550 + 850 - 2,850
= $550

What will most likely occur if a company eliminates an unprofitable segment when a portion of fixed costs are unavoidable?
a. All expenses of the eliminated segment will be eliminated.
b. Net income will decrease.
c. Net income will increase.
d. The company's variable costs will increase.
Answer: b. Net income will decrease.
Explanation:
The unavoidable fixed costs were being covered by the unprofitable segment so if the segment is removed, the unavoidable fixed cost will have to be deducted from the profits of the other segment/s.
When this happens their profit will decrease because those segments will now be covering more fixed costs than before. This is why it is usually better to keep an unprofitable segment going if it incurs unavoidable fixed costs.
Smith Company reports the following information: Cost of goods manufactured $68,250 Direct materials used 27,000 Direct labor incurred 25,000 Work in process inventory, January 1 11,000 Factory overhead is 75% of the cost of direct labor. Work in process inventory on December 31 is a.$8,500 b.$16,250 c.$13,500 d.$18,750
Answer:
Smith Company
Work in process inventory on December 31 is:
= c. $13,500.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Work in process inventory, January 1 11,000
Direct materials used 27,000
Direct labor incurred 25,000
Factory overhead (75% of $25,000) 18,750
Total cost for the year = $ 81,750
Cost of goods manufactured 68,250
Work in process inventory, Dec. 31 $13,500
b) Smith's work in process inventory on December 31 equals its total costs incurred by Smith for production for the year minus its cost of goods manufactured. Conversely, if the work in process inventory on December 31 is known, then its cost of goods manufactured equals its total production costs minus the ending work in process.
MC Qu. 135 Front Company had net income of... Front Company had net income of $86,500 based on variable costing. Beginning and ending inventories were 2,200 units and 4,000 units, respectively. Assume the fixed overhead per unit was $8.60 for both the beginning and ending inventory. What is net income under absorption costing
Answer:
Net income under absorption costing = $101980
Explanation:
Below is the following calculation:
Net income based on variable costing = $86500
Rise in inventory = (4000 - 2200) x 8.60 = $15480
Now find the net income under absorption costing by adding the rise in inventory in the net income based on variable costing.
Net income under absorption costing = $86500 + $15480
Net income under absorption costing = $101980
