Answer:
Note: The correct option is a. Increase Net Cash from operations.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete as the options are omitted. The options are therefore provided to complete the question before answering the question as follows:
a. Increase Net Cash from operations
b. Decrease Net Cash from operations on the Cash Flow Statement
c. No impact on Net Cash from operations
d. Just impact the Balance Sheet
The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:
Since the assets was purchased early in the year, depreciation will be charged on it in the income statement for the year at the end of the year. Since depreciation is a non-cash item, it will added back to the net income in the indirect Cash Flow Statement method as one of the adjustments to the net income under the Cash from operations. This adding back of the depreciation will therefore lead to an Increase Net Cash from operations.
Therefore, the correct option is a. Increase Net Cash from operations.

A physical count of merchandise inventory on July 30 reveals that there are 48 units on hand. Using the LIFO inventory method, the amount allocated to cost of goods sold for July is
The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:
Last in, first out (LIFO) inventory method refers to a method under which the costs of the costs of the most recent goods purchased or manufactured are expensed first.
Thereforee, the amount allocated to cost of goods sold for July can be calculated as follows:
Total units available for sales = 30 + 105 + 15 = 150 units
Units sold = Total units available for sales - Units on hand on July 30 = 150 - 48 = 102 units
Cost of goods sold for July = Value of 15 units July 22 purchases + (87 units * Cost per units of purchases on July 7) = $330 + (87 * $20) = $330 + $1,740 = $2,070
Therefore, the amount allocated to cost of goods sold for July is $2,070.
Nathan and Diana are married and have three married children and seven minor grandchildren. For tax year 2020, what is the maximum amount they can give to the family (including the sons- and daughters-in-law) without using any of their unified transfer tax credit
Answer:
Maximum amount that can be given to family (including the sons- and daughters-in-law) without using unified transfer tax credit is $390,000.
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
Nathan and Diana are married and they have 3 married children, meaning Nathan and Diana also have 3 daughters/sons in law married to their children. In addition, they have 7 minor grand children.
Number of donees will be ⇒ 3 + 3 + 7 = 13
Now, we know that; The annual gift tax exclusion for 2019-2020 is $15,000 per donee or individual for every tax payer while that of married couple is $30,000.
Meaning Nathan and Diana can give $30,000as a gift to each of their family members without using any of their unified transfer tax credit.
Hence,
Maximum amount that can be given to family (including the sons- and daughters-in-law) without using unified transfer tax credit will be;
⇒ 13 × $30,000
= $390,000.
Margas Framing's cost formula for its supplies cost is $2,240 per month plus $6 per frame. For the month of May, the company planned for activity of 808 frames, but the actual level of activity was 810 frames. The actual supplies cost for the month was $7,090. The supplies cost in the flexible budget for May would be closest to:_____.a. $7,106.
b. $7,088.
c. $7,100.
d. $7,090.
Answer: c. $7,100
Explanation:
Supplies cost according to the flexible budget is to be calculated based on the actual level of activity.
The cost is:
= Fixed cost + (Variable cost * actual level of activity)
= 2,240 + (6 * 810)
= 2,240 + 4,860
= $7,100
Along any downward sloping straight-line demand curve: Group of answer choices both the price elasticity and slope are constant. both the price elasticity and slope vary. the price elasticity varies, but the slope is constant. the slope varies, but the price elasticity is constant.
Answer:
the price elasticity varies, but the slope is constant
Explanation:
The demand curve is a curve that shows the relationship between price and quantity demanded. The demand curve is negatively sloped because the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded. This is in line with the law of demand.
According to the law of demand, the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.
At the midpoint of the demand curve, demand is usually unit elastic. Above the midpoint of the demand curve, demand is elastic and blow the midpoint, demand is inelastic
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.
A stock will pay no dividends for the next 5 years. Then it will pay a dividend of $5 growing at 2%. The discount rate is 10%. What should be the current stock price?
Answer:
$38.81
Explanation:
The value of the stock is the present value of its future divided payments, bearing in mind that the first dividend is payable six years from,hence, the present value of dividend in year 5( a year before its payment) is then computed thus:
PV of dividend at the end of year 5=expected dividend/discount rate-growth rate
expected dividend in year 6=$5
discount rate=10%
growth rate=2%
PV of dividend at the end of year 5=$5/(10%-2%)
PV of dividend at the end of year 5=$62.50
We need to discount the PV backward by 5 years to show the stock value today
the current stock price=$62.50/(1+10%)^5
the current stock price= $38.81
Consider a Cournot duopoly with the following inverse demand function: P = 96 - 2Q1 - 2Q2, where Q1 and Q2 are quantities produced by firms 1 and 2, respectively. The firms' marginal cost are identical and given by MCi(Qi) = 2Qi, where i is either firm 1 or firm 2. Based on this information firm 1 and 2's reaction functions are:_____.
a. MR1(Q1, Q2) = 100-2Q1-Q2 and MR2(Q1, Q2) 100-Q1-2Q2.
b. MR1(Q1, Q2) = 100-4Q1-2Q2 and MR2(Q1, Q2) = 100 - 2Q1 - 402.
c. MR1(Q1, Q2) = 100 - 2Q1 - 4Q2 and MR2(Q1, Q2) = 100 - 4Q1 - 2Q2.
d. MR1(Q1, Q2) = 24.5 - 0.5Q2 and MR2(Q1, Q2) = 24.5 - 0.5Q1.
Two identical firms compete as a Cournot duopoly. The demand they face is P = 90-Q. The cost function for each firm is C(Q_i) = 6Qi. Each firm earns equilibrium profits of:_____.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
The revenue - firm 1 will be:
= P x Q1
= 100Q1 - 2Q1² -2Q1Q2
Then, marginal revenue MR1 will be:
= dR1/dQ1
= 100 - 4Q1 -2Q2
Similarly, the revenue for firm 2 will be:
= P x Q2
= 100Q2 - 2Q2² -2Q1Q2
Then, MR2 will be:
= 100 - 4Q2 - 2Q1
Therefore, MR1(Q1, Q2) = 100-4Q1-2Q2 and MR2(Q1, Q2) = 100 - 2Q1 - 402.
Option B is the correct answer.
P = 90 - Q
Q = Q1 + Q2
The revenue for firm 1 (R1) will be:
= PQ1
= 90Q1 - Q1² - Q2Q1
The marginal revenue MR1 will be:
= 90 - 2Q1 - Q2
The marginal cost MC is:
= dC/dQ
= 6
Since profit is maximized when MR = MC, this will be:
90 - 2Q1 - Q2 = 6
- 2Q1 - Q2 = 6 - 90
- 2Q1 - Q2 = - 84
2Q1 + Q2 = 84
3Q = 84
Q1 = Q2 = 28
Therefore,
P = 90-Q.
P = 90 - (Q1 + Q2)
P = 90 - (28 + 28)
P = 90 - 56
P = 34
Then, the equilibrium profit will be:
= Total revenue - Total cost
= (34 × 28) - (6 × 28)
= 952 - 168
= 784

A company uses the weighted average method for inventory costing. During a period, Department B finished and transferred 62,000 units to Department C. Also in Department B during the period, 16,000 units were started but brought only to a stage of being 60% completed. The number of equivalent units produced by Department B during the period was:_____.a. 60,000 units.
b. 55,000 units.
c. 62,500 units.
d. 67,500 units.
e. 47,500 units.
Answer:
Total Equivalent units of production= 71,600 units
Explanation:
The weighted average method blends the costs and units of the previous period with the costs and units of the current period.
Units completed in the period + Equivalent units in ending inventory WIP (units*%completion) = Equivalent units of production
Equivalent units of production:
Units completed in the period= 62,000
Equivalent units in ending inventory WIP= (16,000*0.6)= 9,600
Total Equivalent units of production= 71,600 units
