Answer:
Divorce after 2020 = Alimony is $0Divorce before 2020 = Alimony is $12,000Explanation:
If the divorce occurred before 2020 then the spouse paying the alimony can deduct it from their taxes and the person receiving it has to include it in their income. If the divorce of Jake and his spouse was before 2020, he will be able to include the full $12,000 as a deduction.
In 2020, new regulation came into effect that meant that couples divorcing from thence will not be able to deduct alimony so Jake's deduction would be $0 if they divorced in 2020 and onwards.
In long-run equilibrium, all firms in the industry earn zero economic profit. Why is this true? All firms in perfectly competitive industries earn zero economic profit in the long run because A. barriers to entry and exit prevent firms from earning positive or negative economic profit. B. a positive profit would induce firms to produce more , increasing price and profit, and a negative profit would induce firms to produce less , decreasing price and profit. C. firms are price takers, maximizing profit by producing where price equals average cost . D. a positive profit would induce firms to enter, decreasing price and profit, and a negative profit would induce firms to exit, increasing price and profit. E. firms are price takers, maximizing profit by producing where price equals marginal cost.
Answer: D. a positive profit would induce firms to enter, decreasing price and profit, and a negative profit would induce firms to exit, increasing price and profit.
Explanation:
In the long run in a competitive market, companies will enter if they find that the market is making positive economic profits. This will increase the number of supplies in the market which would then lead a to a reduction in price and by extension a reduction in profit.
If the profit that firms begin to make after these new companies come into the market, falls below 0, then firms will leave the market so as not to make losses. This would reduce supply and lead to prices rising which would pull profits up as well till they are positive again then the first instance would repeat itself.
This goes on repeatedly and therefor keeps long run economic profit at 0.

Question: MRP II did not replace or improve MRP. Rather, it expanded the scope of materials planning to include
capacity requirements planning, and to involve other functional areas of the organization.” Compare and
contrast MRP and MRP II.
Answer:
MRP and MRP II
MRP (materials requirement planning) and MRP II (materials requirement planning II) are information management systems for scheduling and billing materials required in production.
MRP is the first generation information system for materials planning, while MRP is a more advanced software that has added functional features.
MRP manages inventory, reduces cost, and optimizes production activities with increased efficiency. These benefits are also obtained with MRP II. In addition, MRP II offers Master Production Scheduling (MPS) that eliminates production bottlenecks. MRP II also features Purchasing Management to ensure steady flow of materials. Finally, MRP II incorporates capacity planning in order to meet customer demand.
Therefore, MRP II can be said to be more strategic and shows advanced features than MRP.
Explanation:
MRP and MRP II have both eased the tasks of production managers, enabling them to efficiently manage production materials. They have also made it easier for production managers to organize materials before the actual production takes place. However, the two materials requirement planning softwares can be integrated with Advanced Planning and Scheduling Software to increase production efficiencies.
10 percent decrease in consumer incomes leads to a 20 percent decrease in the quantity demanded of good D. Instructions: Round your answer to one decimal place. If you are entering a negative number be sure to include a negative sign (-) in front of that number. The income elasticity of this good is: . This good can best be described as (Click to select) .
Answer:
Income elasticity = 2
Normal good
Explanation:
Below is the given values:
Percentage decrease in consumers income = 10%
Percentage decrease in quantity demanded = 20%
Use the below formula to find the income elasticity:
Income elasticity = % change in quantity demanded / % in income
Income elasticity = -20/-10
Income elasticity = 2
Since the elasticity is 2 that means good is normal good.

Maham Corporation's budget calls for the following production:
Quarter 1 = 22,500 units
Quarter 2 = 19,000 units
Quarter 3 = 17,000 units
Quarter 4 = 24,000 units
Each unit of product requires three pounds of direct material. The company's policy is to begin each quarter with 30% of that quarter's direct materials requirements. What would be the budgeted direct materials purchases in the second quarter?
Answer: 55,200 pounds
Explanation:
The required direct material for the second quarter is:
= 19,000 * 3
= 57,000 pounds
The Beginning inventory for the second quarter is 30% of what is required:
= 30% * 57,000
= 17,100
The ending inventory is 30% of the next quarter's requirement:
= 30% * (17,000 * 3)
= 15,300
Purchases for the second quarter = Direct materials required for production in Quarter 2 + Desired ending inventory for Quarter 2 - Beginning inventory for Quarter 2
= 57,000 + 15,300 - 17,100
= 55,200 pounds

Davenport Inc. has a target capital structure of 35% debt, and 65% of common equity. The current price of the firm's 7% coupon, semiannual payment, non-callable bonds with 10 years remaining maturity is $1,100. New bonds would be privately placed with a flotation cost equally to 4% of the proceeds on a new issue of bond. The firm's cost of common equity is estimated to be 12%. The corporate tax rate is 40%.
Required:
a. What is the firm’s before-tax cost of debt financing?
b. What is the firm’s WACC?
Answer:
a.
6.24%
b.
9.11%
Explanation:
a.
P = [ C x ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n ) / r ] + [ F / ( 1 + r )^n ]
Where
F = Face value = $1,000
P = Price = Price x ( 1 - Floatation cost rate ) = $1,100 x ( 1 - 4% ) = $1,056
C = Coupon payment = Face value x Coupon rate x semiannual fraction = $1,000 x 7% x 6/12 = $35
n = numbers of periods = Numbers of years to maturity x coupon payment per year = 10 years x 2 periods per year = 20 periods
r = YTM x 6/12 = r/2
Placing values in the formula
$1,056 = [ $35 x ( 1 - ( 1 + r/2 )^-20 ) / r/2 ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + r/2 )^20 ]
r = 3.1194% x 2 = 6.23885% = 6.24%
b.
Now use the following formula to calculate WACC
WACC = ( Cost of Equity x Wight of equity ) + ( After tax Cost of debt x Weight of debt )
WACC = ( 12% x 65% ) + ( 6.24% x ( 1 - 40% ) x 35% )
WACC = 7.80% + 1.31%
WACC = 9.11%

XYZ Corporation manufactures two models of office chairs, a standard and a deluxe model. The overhead costs for setups and components pools are $60,000 and $58,900, respectively. The following activity has been compiled:
Number of Number of Number of
Setups Components Direct Labor Hours
Standard 11 6 295
Deluxe 29 13 205
Overhead costs $63,600 $102.600
Number of setups and number of components are identified as activity-cost drivers for overhead. Assuming an activity based costing system is used, what is the total amount of overhead costs assigned to the standard model?
A. $109,200
B. $57,000
C. $83,000
D. $83,100
Answer:
$49,890
Explanation:
The computation of the total amount of overhead costs assigned to the standard model is given below
The cost driver rate is
For setup
= $63,600 ÷ (11 + 29)
= 1,590
For component
= $102,600 ÷ (6 + 13)
= 5,400
Now the total amount of overhead for the standard model is
= 11 × 1,590 + 6 × 5,400
= $17,490 + $32,400
= $49,890

Great American Oilchange (GAO) sells a combined oil change service and parts package for $30. A customer who supplies the parts (oil and filter) is charged $20 for only the service, whereas a customer who buys only the oil and filter for do-it-yourself use) is charged $20 for the parts. The parts cost GAO $14
Required:
Determine the dollar amount of revenue from the oil change service versus the sale of parts for each combined oil change package.
Answer:
Oil change Service $15
Sales of Parts $15
Explanation:
Calculation to Determine the dollar amount of revenue from the oil change service versus the sale of parts for each combined oil change packages
First step
Oil change service= $20
Selling price of parts = $20
Total $40
Second step is to calculate the Percentage of each activity in total Revenue
Oil change service = $20
Oil change service=20/40*100
Oil change service=50%
Sale of parts= $20
Sale of parts=20/40*100
Sale of parts=50%
Third step is to calculate the Allocated Transaction Price for both parts and service
Combine oil change service and part package = $30
Oil change service= $30 * 20/40
Oil change service=$15
Sale of parts = $30 * 20/40
Sale of parts= $15
Therefore the dollar amount of revenue from the oil change service versus the sale of parts for each combined oil change packages will be:
Oil change Service $15
Sales of Parts $15
Activity-based costing is preferable in a system:
a. when multiple products have similar product volumes and costs
b. with a large direct labor cost as a percentage of the total product cost
c. with multiple, diverse products
d. where management needs to support an increase in sales price
Answer:
c. with multiple, diverse products
Explanation:
Activity based costing is a method that is used to share overhead and indirect costs among various products and services offered by a company.
So products that are produced in larger volume will receive more cost allocation.
The cost driver rate is used in this allocation and is calculated by dividing total pool cost by the cost driver.
So cost is allocated based on units of goods produced.
Examples of indirect cost shared are salaries and utilities.
Activity based costing is best for multiple diverse products. So that cost can effectively be allocated based on the amount of activity attributed to a particular product.

P Company owns 90% of the outstanding common stock of S Company. On January 1, 2015, S Company sold land to P Company for $578,000. S Company originally purchased the land for $427,400. On January 1, 2016, P Company sold the land purchased from S Company to a company outside the affiliated group for $676,100. Calculate the amount of gain on the sale of the land that is recognized on the books of P Company in 2016.

= 676,100 - 578,000
= $98,100
When you were born, your dear old Aunt Minnie promised to deposit $1,000 into a savings account, bearing a 5% effective annual rate, on each birthday, beginning with your first. You have just turned 22 and want the dough. However, it turns out that dear old (forgetful) aunt Minnie made no deposits on your fifth and eleventh birthdays. How much is in the account right now?
Answer: $34,502.85
Explanation:
The constant deposits are considered annuities.
The value at the end of 22 years is the future value of the annuity.
Future value of annuity = Annuity * ( (1 + rate)^number of years - 1 ) / rate
= 1,000 * ( ( 1 + 5%) ²² - 1) / 5%
= $38,505.21
Then subtract the future values of the deposits that your grandmother missed.
For the fifth birthday, the future value term will be 22 - 5 = 17 years
For the eleventh, the future value term will be 22 - 11 = 11 years
The amount in the account is:
= 38,505.21 - (1,000 * 1.05¹⁷) + (1,000 * 1.05¹¹)
= $34,502.85

he primary functions of management are... Group of answer choices Producing change and movement Producing a creative vision Producing positive leadership outcomes Producing order and consistency PreviousNext
Answer:
Producing order and consistency
Explanation:
Management involves the control, planning and organization of the affairs of a business firm.
Basically, the management of an organization is saddled with the responsibility of planning, organizing, controlling and staffing within the organization.
Hence, we can safely deduce that the primary functions of management are producing order and consistency within an organization, so as to meet their set goals, aims and objectives.
This ultimately implies that, the management of a business firm or an organization's with respect to its direction, objectives, and strategy are never final because an effective management strategy is a continuum or an on-going, dynamic process. Thus, it is never a now and then task.

Clannad currently produces and sells 4,000 units per year, and has a capacity of 5,000 units. Enya, Inc. has offered a one-year contract to supply parts at a cost of $30.00/unit. If Clannad accepts, it will reduce fixed costs by 50% and will be able to rent unused space to another company for $18,000 per year. What is the impact on Clannad's profits if it accepts the offer.
Answer: Increase of $20,000
Explanation:
The cost of making a unit is:
= Direct material + Direct labor + Variable overhead + Fixed overhead
= 10 + 14 + 5 + 3
= $32
For 4,000 units that would be:
= 4,000 * 32
= $128,000
Cost of buying 4,000 units :
= Cost of buying + Fixed cost
= (4,000 * 30) + (3 / 2 * 4,000)
= $126,000
This cost is further reduced by the renting of the unused space:
= 126,000 - 18,000
= $108,000
Impact on profit:
= Cost of making - Cost of buying
= 128,000 - 108,000
= $20,000
Increase of $20,000
Nungesser Corporation has an EPS of $1.96, a cash flow per share of $3.15, and a price/cash flow ratio of 7.76×. What is its P/E ratio?
Answer:
12.47
Explanation:
Given :
Earning per share, EPS = $1.96
Cashflow per share = $3.15
Price / Cash flow ratio = 7.76
The P/E ratio = share price / Earning per share
The Share price is given by :
Cashflow per share * price to cash flow ratio
Share price = $3.15 * 7.76 = $24.444
Now ;
P/E ratio = Share price / Earning per share = $24.444 / $1.96
P/E ratio = 12.4714
P/E ratio = 12.47
Janet and Megan are debating the use of student discounts by local stores near school. Janet argues, "When stores offer discounts to students with valid identification, it is price discrimination, because they are attempting to separate the market into two groups—each with different demands for that particular good." Megan responds with, "This is not a form of price discrimination, because there is no age restriction for students. Economists generally agree with :
a. Dina
b. Antonio
Answer:
Antonio
Explanation:
In simple words, Antonio has a lot of support among economists. Price discrimination occurs when a vendor is able to split clients into groupings or segregate a marketplace into two categories so that they may charge varying charges to that same two groups. It has hardly anything to deal with the customers' age.
Thus, Antonio is correct with his views.
