You are calculating the volume quantity needed for material that will compact to 95% of its original undisturbed volume. You know that you will need to fill a void with a volume of 1,487 cubic yards. What is the volume of material needed from the borrow pit to equal this amount when fully compacted
Answer:
Volume = 1565.56 cubic yards
Explanation:
The computation of the volume of material required is shown below:
95% × volume = 1,487 cubic yards
Volume = 1565.56 cubic yards
Basically 95% of volume is equivalent to the 1487 cubic yards
So according to this we determined the volume
Hence, the same should be considered

True or false: A traditional costing system uses more cause-and-effect relationships in tracing costs than does an activity-based cost allocation system.
Answer: False
Explanation:
Activity based costing us when the activities of an organisation is classified. After the classification, the costs that are related to those activities will then be traced to the activities.
It should be noted that an activity-based costing system utilizes more cause-and-effect relationships when tracing costs than a traditional cost allocation system.
Therefore, the statement that's givenn in the question is false.
Assume the following information: Selling price per unit $200 Contribution margin ratio 50% Total fixed costs $275,000 How many units must be sold to generate a profit of $50,000
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price per unit $200
Contribution margin ratio 50%
Total fixed costs $275,000
Desired profit= $50,000
First, we need to calculate the sales required to obtain the desired profit:
Break-even point (dollars)= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= (275,000 + 50,000) / 0.5
Break-even point (dollars)= $650,000
Now, the number of units:
Number of units= 650,000 / 200= 3,250
Or, you can use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (275,000 + 50,000) / (0.5*200)
Break-even point in units= 3,250
Bottum Corporation, a manufacturing Corporation, has provided data concerning its operations for May. The beginning balance in the raw materials account was $22,500 and the ending balance was $41,000. Raw materials purchases during the month totaled $68,000. Manufacturing overhead cost incurred during the month was $113,500, of which $2,500 consisted of raw materials classified as indirect materials. The direct materials cost for May was:
Answer:
the direct material cost is $47,000
Explanation:
The computation of the direct material cost is shown below:
= Opening balance + purchase made - indirect material - closing balance
= $22,500 + $68,000 - $2,500 - $41,000
= $47,000
hence, the direct material cost is $47,000
The same should be considered and relevant too

Sebastian received a raise this year so his income climbed from $45,000 to $52,000. Last year Sebastian purchased 2 sunglasses. This year he has purchased 7 sunglasses. Assuming that all of the other things remain constant, what type of a good are sunglasses and what type of income elasticity of demand does Sebastian have
Answer:
normal good
elastic demand
Explanation:
Income elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in income.
Income elasticity = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in income
percentage change in quantity demanded = (7/2) - 1 = 250%
percentage change in income = (52,000 / 45,000) - 1 = 15.6%
250 / 15.6 = 16.07
If the absolute value of income elasticity of demand is greater than one, it means demand is elastic.
Normal goods are goods that are goods whose demand increases when income increases and falls when income falls
Inferior goods are goods whose demand falls when income rises and increases when income falls.

a. By how much would government spending have to rise to shift the aggregate demand curve rightward by $25 billion
Answer: $2.5 billion
Explanation:
You need to first calculate the multiplier.
The multiplier is the amount that shows the effect of an increase in government spending on the aggregate demand of a country.
It is calculated as:
= 1 / ( 1 - MPC)
= 1 / ( 1 - 0.9)
= 10
Increase in aggregate demand = Government spending * multiplier
25 billion = G * 10
G = 25 billion / 10
= $2.5 billion

For each of the following characteristics, indicate whether it describes a perfectly competitive firm, a monopolistically competitive firm, both, or neither. (Note: If the characteristic describes neither, leave the entire row unchecked.)
Characteristic Perfectly Competitive Monopolistically Competitive
Sells a product differentiated from those of its competitors
Has marginal revenue less than price
Earns economic profit in the long run
Produces at the minimum average total cost in the long run
Equates marginal revenue and marginal cost
Charges a price above marginal cost
Answer:
Monopolistically Competitive
Monopolistically Competitive
Neither
Perfectly Competitive
both
Monopolistically Competitive
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopolistic competition has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants
When firms are earning positive economic profit, in the long run, firms enter into the industry. This drives economic profit to zero
If firms are earning negative economic profit, in the long run, firms leave the industry. This drives economic profit to zero
in the long run, only normal profit is earned
In a monopolistic competitive market, firms always set the price higher than their marginal costs. As a result, the market cannot be productively efficient.
Jack asked Jill to marry him, and she has accepted under one condition: Jack must buy her a new $ Rolls-Royce Phantom. Jack currently has $ that he may invest. He has found a mutual fund with an expected annual return of % in which he will place the money. How long will it take Jack to win Jill's hand in marriage?
Answer: 47.8 years
Explanation:
Jack is trying to make up to $330,000 from $50,680 at a rate of 4%.
The relevant formula is the future value formula as Jack is trying to get to a certain amount in future:
330,000 = 50,680 * ( 1 + 4%) ^ number of years
1.04 ^ number of years = 330,000 / 50,680
1.04 ^ N = 6.51144435674822
Use the natural logarithm:
N * In (1.04) = In (6.51144435674822)
N * 0.039220713153281 = 1.873561299007586979
N = 1.873561299007586979 / 0.039220713153281
= 47.8 years
Under variable costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is: Multiple Choice applied directly to Work-in-Process Inventory. expensed immediately when incurred. never expensed. treated in the same manner as variable manufacturing overhead.
Answer: expensed immediately when incurred.
Explanation:
Under variable costing, only variable costs can be apportioned to the product as product costs. This means that fixed costs have to be expensed immediately they are incurred so that they do not feature in the product costs.
It is not a widely used principle as both U.S. GAAP and IFRS don't allow for its use in financial statements. They prefer absorption costing where fixed costs are apportioned to the products created.

Suppose that a Country Club is considering what price to charge for adults. They know that if they charge a price of $100 then 70 adults will join and if they charge a price of $120 then 50 adults will join. What is the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand for adults at this Country Club
Answer:
1.43
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 =120 /100 - 1 = 0.2
Quantity = 50/ 70 - 1 = 0.2857
0.2857 / 0.2 = 1.43
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
p = 0,2
=0.2857
In the 1990s there was tremendous interest by government officials in breaking up Microsoft into two companies. One of the companies would have produced operating systems for computers, like Microsoft Windows. The other company would have produced software for this operating system, like Microsoft Excel. Which concept from class could Microsoft use to argue that this breakup would increase total costs
Answer: Economies of scope
Explanation:
Economies of scope refers to the
proportionate saving that's gained when a company produces two or more goods, such that the cost of producing the goods is less than the cost incurred when each good is separately produced.
In such case, the average total cost of production will reduce as a result of the rise in the number of different goods that are produced.
Therefore, the concept that Microsoft use to argue that this breakup would increase total costs is Economies of scope

CWN estimates that its overhead next period will be $85,000. It also expects to incur $100,000 of direct labor. If CWN bases applied overhead on direct labor cost, its predetermined overhead rate for the next period should be:
Answer:
85%
Explanation:
With regards to the information above, predetermined overhead will be computed as;
Predetermined overhead = (Estimated overhead / Expected labor cost) × 100
Estimated overhead = $85,000
Expected labor cost = $100,000
Then,
Predetermined overhead = ($85,000 / $100,000) × 100
Predetermined overhead = 85%
Therefore, its predetermined overhead rate for the next period should be 85%
