When Chernobyl melted down in the Soviet Union, the: a. price of U.S. basketballs increased. b. prices of assets reacted slowly to the information. c. price of U.S. potatoes increased. d. stock prices of U.S. nuclear plants increased.
Answer: d. stock prices of U.S. nuclear plants increased.
Explanation:
Chernobyl was a nuclear power plant in the former Soviet Union that was being used to produce electricity until it suffered a meltdown that effectively rendered the surrounding areas unlivable.
In response to this disaster, the stock prices of U.S. nuclear power plants went up because the Soviet meltdown not only reduced the supply of nuclear powered electricity but also showed that American engineering was superior and so people bought more American nuclear plant shares which took its price up.

An educational institution has total direct labor and material costs of $1964 per student. Its fixed costs are $352,800. Total revenues for the year were $1,800,000. It had 800 students in the past year. How many students should they accept in the next year to break even assuming the variable cost margins are equal to this year, and assuming fixed costs are to increase by $19,000 due to increased rent for expansion? (round to the nearest whole number).
Answer:
1300 students
Explanation:
The computation of the no of students to be accepted for break even is given below:
Fixed cost is
= $352,800 + $19,000
= $371,800
Revenue per student is
= $1,800,000 ÷ 800
= 2250
And,
Variable cost per student = 1964
So,
Contribution margin = Revenue - Variable cost
= $2,250 - $1,964
= $286
Break even point is
= Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= 371800÷ 286
= 1300 students

The Abner Corporation, a retail seller of television sets, wants to determine how many television sets it must sell to earn a profit of $10,000 per month. The price of each television set is $300, and the average variable cost is $100. What is the required sales volume if the Abner Corporation’s monthly fixed costs are $5,000 per month?
Answer: 75
Explanation:
The required sales volume if the Abner Corporation’s monthly fixed costs are $5,000 per month will be:
Required sales = (Fixed cost + target profit) / (Selling price - AVC)
= (5,000 + 10,000) / (300 - 100)
= 15,000 / 200
= 75
Therefore, the required sales volume is 75.

Avery Company has two divisions, Polk and Bishop. Polk produces an item that Bishop could use in its production. Bishop currently is purchasing 26,000 units from an outside supplier for $16 per unit. Polk is currently operating at less than its full capacity of 630,000 units and has variable costs of $9 per unit. The full cost to manufacture the unit is $12. Polk currently sells 460,000 units at a selling price of $18 per unit.
a. What will be the effect on Avery Company’s operating profit if the transfer is made internally?
b. What is the minimum transfer price from Polk’s perspective?
c. What is the maximum transfer price from Bishop’s perspective?
Answer:
a. The effect is that Avery Company’s operating profit will increase by $182,000 if the transfer is made internally.
b. Minimum transfer price = $9
c. Maximum transfer price from Bishop’s perspective = $16.
Explanation:
a. What will be the effect on Avery Company’s operating profit if the transfer is made internally?
To determine this, fixed cost is ignored because it considered irrelevant. Therefore, we have:
Profit per unit = Purchase price from outside - Variable cost of production internally = $16 - $9 = $7
Total increment in operating profit = Current purchase unit of Bishop * Profit per unit = 26,000 * $7 = $182,000
Therefore, Avery Company’s operating profit will increase by $182,000 if the transfer is made internally.
b. What is the minimum transfer price from Polk’s perspective?
Since Polk is currently operating at less than its full capacity, this implies that it will not incur additional fixed cost to produce current purchase units of Bishop. Therefore, only its variable cost of $9 will have to recovered. By implication, we have:
Minimum transfer price = Variable cost = $9
c. What is the maximum transfer price from Bishop’s perspective?
Any price that is higher than $16 at which Bishop is currently purchasing from an outside supplier will result in a loss for Bishop and the increment profit of $182,000 will be lost by Avery Company. This therefore implies that:
Maximum transfer price from Bishop’s perspective = Price at which Bishop is currently purchasing from an outside supplier = $16
Suppose a chair manufacturer finds that the marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) of capital for labor in her production process is substantially than the ratio of the wage rate for assembly-line labor (w) to the rental rate on machinery (r). How should she alter her use of labor and capital to minimize the cost of production? Holding output constant, the chair manufacturer should use ▼ less more labor and ▼ more less capital.
Answer:
The chair manufacturer should use less labor and more capital.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete because the important word less is omitted. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Suppose a chair manufacturer finds that the marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) of capital for labor in her production process is substantially less than the ratio of the wage rate for assembly-line labor (w) to the rental rate on machinery (r). How should she alter her use of labor and capital to minimize the cost of production? Holding output constant, the chair manufacturer should use [less/more] labor and [more/less] capital.
Explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
The marginal rate of technical substitution (MRST) is the amount by which the quantity of one input must be reduced when one more unit of another input is used to keep output constant.
In order to minimize cost of production while holding output constant, when the MRTS of capital for labor is substantially greater than the ratio of w to r, it implies that less capital and more labor should be used; but when the MRTS of capital for labor is substantially less than the ratio of w to r, it implies that more capital and less labor should be used.
Based on the above explanation, the chair manufacturer should use less labor and more capital.
Betty Vinson improperly capitalized line costs at her boss's direction. Which company did she work for
Answer: WorldCom
Explanation:
The WorldCom scandal of 2002 was the worst one in U.S. history and led to shareholders losing over $30 billion as a result of share prices falling drastically when it was revealed that the company had been making fraudulent accounting entries to look successful when it fact it had been losing money.
Betty Vinson was the company's Director of Corporate Reporting and her boss, CEO Bernie Ebbers, pressured her into making fraudulent entries because it was said that he "didn't want to disappoint Wall Street". This scandal was one of those that directly led to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act being passed.
Winner Corporation acquired 80 percent of the common shares and 70 percent of the preferred shares of First Corporation at underlying book value on January 1, 20X9. At that date, the fair value of the noncontrolling interest in First's common stock was equal to 20 percent of the book value of its common stock. First's balance sheet at the time of acquisition contained the following balances:
Total Assets $600,000 Total Liabilities $90,000
Preferred Stock 100,000
Common Stock 150,000
Retained Earnings 260,000
Total Assets $600,000 Total Liabilities and
Equities $600,000
The preferred shares are cumulative and have a 10 percent annual dividend rate and are four years in arrears on January 1, 20X9. All of the $5 par value preferred shares are callable at $6 per share. During 20X9, Shovel reported net income of $100,000 and paid no dividends.

a. $80,000
b. $100,000
c. $90,000
d. $50,000
Answer:
b. $100,000
Explanation:
Based on the information given , the FIRST'S CONTRIBUTION TO CONSOLIDATED NET INCOME for 20X9 will be NET INCOME amount of $100,000 because During the year 20X9, the company reported NET INCOME of $100,000 in which they paid no dividends.
Therefore First's contribution to consolidated net income for 20X9 is $100,000
The quantity demanded x for a product is inversely proportional to the cube of the price p for p > 1. When the price is $10 per unit, the quantity demanded is 64 units. The initial cost is $140 and the cost per unit is $4. What price will yield a maximum profit? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
$______
Answer:
$6.00
Explanation:
Given data
quantity demanded ( x ) ∝ 1 / p^3 for p > 1
when p = $10/unit , x = 64
initial cost = $140, cost per unit = $4
Determine the price that will yield a maximum profit
x = k/p^3 ----- ( 1 ). when x = 64 , p = $10 , k = constant
64 = k/10^3
k = 64 * ( 10^3 )
= 64000
back to equation 1
x = 64000 / p^3
∴ p = 40 / ∛x
next calculate the value of revenue generated
Revenue(Rx) = P(price ) * x ( quantity )
= 40 / ∛x * x = 40 x^2/3
next calculate Total cost of product
C(x) = 140 + 4x
Maximum Profit generated = R(x) - C(x) = 0
= 40x^2/3 - 140 + 4x = 0
= 40(2/3) x^(2/3 -1) - 0 - 4 = 0
∴ ∛x = 20/3 ∴ x = (20/3 ) ^3 = 296
profit is maximum at x(quantity demanded ) = 296 units
hence the price that will yield a maximum profit
P = 40 / ∛x
= ( 40 / (20/3) ) = $6
Alpha Moose Transporters has a current stock price of $33.35 per share, and is expected to pay a per-share dividend of $1.36 at the end of next year. The company’s earnings’ and dividends’ growth rate are expected to grow at the constant rate of 8.70% into the foreseeable future. If Alpha Moose expects to incur flotation costs of 5.00% of the value of its newly-raised equity funds, then the flotation-adjusted (net) cost of its new common stock (rounded to two decimal places) should be
Answer:
Alpha Moose Transporters
If Alpha Moose expects to incur flotation costs of 5.00% of the value of its newly-raised equity funds, then the flotation-adjusted (net) cost of its new common stock (rounded to two decimal places) should be:
= $30.84.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Current stock price = $33.35 per share
Dividend per share = $1.36
Flotation costs = 5.00%
Flotation-adjusted stock price = $31.68 ($33.35 * 0.95)
Expected dividend growth rate = 8.70%
Expected rate of returns = 4.29% ($1.36/$31.68 * 100)
Cost of new common stock = Dividend per share/(Expected rate of returns - Dividend growth rate)
= $1.36/(0.0429 - 0.087)
= $1.36/0.0441
= $30.84

Question 9 (2 points) If the management decides to order 2,000 units (instead of the EOQ quantity obtained above) per order, the total annual inventory cost (excluding the purchase cost) = $ A Round the final answer (if it is not an integer) to the nearest integer.
Answer:
2. holding cost is $2
3. EOQ = 500 units
4. Average inventory = 250units
5. total annual hoding cost = $500
6. number of orders is 4
7. total annual inventory = $1000
8. reorder point = 48
9. $2125
Explanation:
2. holding cost = 20% * $10
the holding cost is 20 percent of the purchase price for each unit
= 0.2*10
= $2.00
3. the EOQ
= 2*2000*$125/$2
= 250000
[tex]EOQ=\sqrt{250000}[/tex]
= 500 units
4.average inventory = EOQ/2
= 500/2 = 250 units
5. total annual hoding cost = average inventory * holding cost
= 250*2
= $500
6. number of orders= 2000 units/EOQ
= 2000/500
= 4 0rders
7. total annual inventory cost = ordering cost annual + holding cost annual
ordering annual cost = 2000/500*125
= 500
total annual inventory cost = 500 + 500 = $1000
8. reorder point
wwe first calculate the daily demand; = 2000/250 = 8
ROP = 8*6 = 48
9. annual ordring = 2000/2000 * 125
= $125
annual holding = 2000/2 * holding cost of $2
= $2000
total annual inventory = 125 + 2000
= $2125
Give an example of a successful or unsuccessful transformational leader. What if anything about the context (e.g., industry, marketplace, competition, time in history, etc.) do you believe assisted or hindered the person in their efforts to be successful
Answer:
Explanation:
One transformational leader that we can talk about was Martin Luther King Jr. who was an Activist and Minister who fought for American Civil Rights in the United States in the early 1950s. MLK jr. was both assisted and hindered by the time in history in which his efforts took place. This is because at the time African American Rights were almost non-existant and the Civil Rights movements were at an all time high. This means that MLK jr. was able to amass many followers as he was fighting to make the world a more equal place for everyone, but at the same time it was a time in history where racism was at an all time high as well. This hindered his efforts greatly and ultimately led to his death in 1968. Regardless, Martin Luther King Jr. made one of the biggest impacts in the Civil Rights movements in history as a transformational leader.
a) Take a real time example of a company of your own choice working in Pakistan and then discuss the factors that lead to pressure for local responsiveness. Discuss it in detail. Draw diagram to show the effect.
Answer:
This responsiveness also promotes the local market orientation of a subsidiary and therefore the strength of its existing network with the businessmen and government authorities.
Explanation:
Usually, firms working within the global market confront two sorts of competitive pressure. They face pressure to scale back costs and pressure to react locally. These competing forces throw a corporation into conflict. It's going to also need a corporation to supply a consistent product on the international market to downstream the experience curve as soon as feasible. In response to local pressures, however, it's necessary for a firm to differentiate its product offering and marketing strategy from one country to a different in an effort to satisfy the various demands arising from domestic consumer preferences, business practices, channels of distribution, competitive conditions and public policies. Because it's going to entail substantial redundancy and a scarcity of product standards to adapt products to varied domestic needs, the result could also be a rise in prices.
While some organizations, like Company A, face a high to scale back cost and low for the reaction of locally, while others, like Company B, face low to scale back costs and high for local reaction, many companies are within the situation of Company C. It suggests and supports three layers of variables, including environmental, structural, and organizational responsiveness. The analysis of 168 MNE companies within the People's Republic of China shows that environmental complexity and therefore the uniqueness of business culture increase local reaction. Structural variables like the intensity of competition, heterogeneity of demand and localisation of components increase local reaction.

b. The percentage of income spent on lottery tickets by a middle-income family with an income of $60,000 per year is 0.50%.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question. See the attached pdf for the complete question.
Explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:
a. What percentage of income is spent on lottery tickets by a low-income family with an income of $20,000 per year.
From the attached question, we have:
Amount spent by households with less than $25,000 of income a year on lottery tickets = $1,100
Therefore, we have:
Percentage spent by family with $20,000 income per year on lottery tickets = (Amount spent by households with less than $25,000 of income a year on lottery tickets / $20,000) = ($1,100 / $20,000) * 100 = 5.50%
Therefore, the percentage of income spent on lottery tickets by a low-income family with an income of $20,000 per year is 5.50%.
b. What percentage of income is spent on lottery tickets by a middle-income family with an income of $60,000 per year.
From the attached question, we have:
Amount spent by households with more than $50,000 of income a year on lottery tickets = $300
Therefore, we have:
Percentage spent by family with $60,000 income per year on lottery tickets = (Amount spent by households with more than $50,000 of income a year on lottery tickets / $60,000) * 100 = ($300 / $60,000) * 100 = 0.50%
Therefore, the percentage of income spent on lottery tickets by a middle-income family with an income of $60,000 per year is 0.50%.

Parker & Stone, Inc., is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park to produce garden tools. The company bought some land 5 years ago for $9,639,708 in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent these facilities from a competitor instead. If the land were sold today, the company would net $3,650,288. An engineer was hired to study the land at a cost of $810,081, and her conclusion was that the land can support the new manufacturing facility. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $6,880,840 million to build, and the site requires $529,656 worth of grading before it is suitable for construction. What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project?
Answer:
the proper cash flow amount is $11,060,784
Explanation:
The computation of the proper cash flow amount is shown below:
= land value + plant value + grading value
= $3,650,288 + 6,880,840 + $529,656
= $11,060,784
Hence, the proper cash flow amount is $11,060,784

Gary Marks is paid on a monthly basis. For the month of January of the current year, he earned a total of $9,138. FICA tax for Social Security is 6.2% on the first $128,400 of earnings each calendar year and the FICA tax for Medicare is 1.45% of all earnings. The FUTA tax rate is 0.6%, and the SUTA tax rate is 5.4%. Both unemployment taxes are applied to the first $7,000 of an employee's pay. The amount of Federal Income Tax withheld from his earnings was $1,516.27. What is the amount of the employer's payroll taxes expenses for this employee
Answer:
$ 1,119.06
Explanation:
It is given that :
Gary Marks total earning = $ 9,138
The social security tax = 6.2%
The Medicare tax = 1.45%
We known, the FUTA and the SUTA must only be applied to the first $7000 earned from Gary's pay.
So, the employer's payroll taxes expenses = Social security + Medicare + FUTA + SUTA
= ($9,138 x 6.2%) + ($9,138 x 1.45%) + ($7000 x 0.6%) + ($7000 x 5.4%)
= 566.56 + 132.5 + 42 + 378
= $ 1,119.06
Therefore, the amount of the employer's payroll taxes expenses is $1,119.06
Suppose that the price of a rental car (Prc) is $50 while the price of a flight (Pfl) is $85. Also, suppose that the marginal utility of a rental car (MUrc) is 20 utils while the marginal utility of flying (MUfl) is 30 utils. What is the best advice for this consumer?
Answer:
Consumers should choose to take the flight.
Explanation:
The price of a rental car = $50
Marginal utility from the car = 20 utils
Now find the per dollar utility from car = $50 / 20 = 2.5
The price of a flight = $85
Marginal utility from the flight = 30 utils
Now find the per dollar utility from flight = $85 / 30 = 2.83
Since the per dollar, MU is greater in the case of flight so consumers should choose to take the flight.
Suppose that the reason the jewelry was brand new and at such a bargain price online was because the seller actually stole the jewelry. If the jewelry were stolen, what type of title would Hugo hold when he purchased the jewelry
Answer: d. Void.
Explanation:
The seller stole the jewelry and so does not hold any legal title to the jewelry in the first place. The seller cannot therefore pass something that they do not possess which means that Hugo did not get a title.
Hugo's supposed title is therefore void which means that should the real owner of the jewelry ever find out that he has it, they can simply come back and claim it without needing to pay Hugo for it.
What is the present value of an investment that will pay $2,000 at the end of the year when interest is compounded annually at 5.10%
Answer:
the present value of an investment is $1,902.94
Explanation:
The computation of the present value of an investment is given below:
present value
= Future value ÷ (1 + rate of interest)^time period
=$2,000 ÷ (1+.051)^1
= $2,000 ÷ 1.051
= $1902.94
Hence, the present value of an investment is $1,902.94
