Answer:
General Partnership
Explanation:
The legal concept of General Partnership obliges two or more signing partners -Lisa and John in this case- to share all assets, all liabilities, and to be responsible for all matters related to the business, regardless of who signs a contract, or contracts new debt, or acquires a new asset, and so on.
So under this legal concept, even if John did not sign the lease, he is still legally responsible for it.

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
Westside Plumbing and Heating Company is offered a contract for$100,000 to provide plumbing for a new building. The labor and equip-ment costs are calculated to be $60,000 for fulfilling the contract. West-side has materials in its inventory to complete the job. The raw ma-terials initially cost the firm $50,000; however the material prices havedeclined in the interim and now cost only $37,500. Thus if thefirmchose not to accept the contract and sells the materials, they wouldincur a loss of $12,500. Material prices are not expected to go up inthe future. Should Westside accept the contract. Explain your answer.
Answer:
Westside Plumbing and Heating Company
Westside should accept the contract.
By accepting the contract at the price of $100,000, Westside incurs a total cost of $97,500 and makes a little profit of $2,500 ($100,000 - $97,500). The contract enables Westside to utilize the materials that it has in inventory instead of allowing it to deteriorate further in value.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Contract price = $100,000
Labor and equipment costs = $60,000
Original cost of materials = $50,000
Materials market price = $37,500
Total costs to be incurred = $97,500 ($60,000 + $37,500)
Profit to be earned = $2,500 ($100,000 - $97,500)
MC Qu. 152 Adams Manufacturing allocates... Adams Manufacturing allocates overhead to production on the basis of direct labor costs. At the beginning of the year, Adams estimated total overhead of $364,800; materials of $418,000 and direct labor of $228,000. During the year Adams incurred $426,000 in materials costs, $415,400 in overhead costs and $232,000 in direct labor costs. Compute the overhead application rate.
Answer:
$1.60 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
Overhead application rate = Budgeted Overheads ÷ Budgeted Activity
hence,
Overhead application rate = $364,800 ÷ $228,000
= $1.60 per direct labor hour

Ajax Inc. was formed on April 25 and elected a calendar year for tax purposes. Ajax paid $13,200 to the attorney who drew up the articles of incorporation and $7,100 to the CPA who advised the corporation concerning the accounting and tax implications of its organization. Ajax began business operations on July 15. To what extent can Ajax deduct its $20,300 organizational costs on its first tax return
Answer: $5510
Explanation:
For organizations cost up to $50,000, there'll be a deduction of $5000. The remaining non deductible expense will then be spread out for 180 months. Here, the non deductible cost will be:
= ($13200 + $7100) - $5000
= $20300 - $5000
= $15300
The capitalized cost will then be:
= $15300 / 180
= $85 per month.
Since there's an ammortization of 6 months from July, then the capitalized cost will be:
= $85 × 6
= $510
Therefore, the amount that should be deducted on its first tax return will be:
= $5000 + $510
= $5510

Changes in the products for which a nation has a comparative advantage create sectoral shocks leading to an increase in frictional unemployment. a. True b. False
Answer: False
Explanation:
Frictional unemployment is a natural unemployment that results when people enter the labor force for the first time and when people move from one job to another. It is therefore not caused by sectoral shocks and every economy, even the best performing ones, will have frictional unemployment.
The unemployment that results from sectoral shocks is cyclical unemployment. This one is not natural and results from the business cycle and shocks to the economy.
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
So the same should be considered and relevant
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

It's time to buy pet food again and Lisa heads to the grocery store with $40 in her purse, leaving her four hungry dogs and seven hungry cats at home. Dog food costs $1 per can and cat food costs $0.50 per can. Lisa wants to minimize her pet food cost. What is an appropriate objective function for this scenario?
Answer: Min Z = X1 + 0.50X2
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the appropriate objective function for this scenario will be explained this:
Let X1 be the number of dog food cans which will be bought
Let X2 be the number of cat food cans which will be bought

You run a hospital with 100 rooms. Fixed daily cost is $935.00 which includes staff salary, property charges, maintenance etc. Variable cost per room is $10.00 which includes cleaning, equipment rentals, utility cost etc. which is incurred only when the room is full. You charge $77.00 per room per day. You sold 40.00 rooms today, how much profit/loss did you earn for today.
Answer: $1,745
Explanation:
Profit ( loss) = Sales - Fixed costs - Variable costs
Sales = Rate per room * number of rooms rented
= 77 * 40
= $3,080
Variable costs = 40 * 10 per room
= $400
Profit (loss) = 3,080 - 935 - 400
= $1,745
A company has an overhead application rate of 124% of direct labor costs. How much overhead would be allocated to a job if it required total labor costing $24,000?
Answer:
$29,760
Explanation:
Overhead application rate = 124% of direct labor cost
The required total labor costing = $24,000
Total overhead applied = Overhead application rate * $24,000
Total overhead applied = 124% * $24000
Total overhead applied = $29,760
A justification for job training programs is that they improve worker productivity. Suppose that you are asked to evaluate whether more job training makes workers more productive. However, rather than having data on individual workers, you have access to data on manufacturing firms in Ohio. In particular, for each firm, you have information on hours of job training per worker (training) and number of non-defective items produced per worker (output).
Required:
a. Carefully state the ceteris paribus thought experiment underlying this policy question.
b. Does it seem likely that a firm’s decision to train its workers will be independent ofworker characteristics? What are some of those measurable and unmeasurable workercharacteristics?
c. Name a factor other than worker characteristics that can affect worker productivity.
d. If you find a positive correlation between output and training, would you haveconvincingly established that job training makes workers more productive? Explain.
Solution :
a). There is a way to state the question :
If there are two firms, firm A and firm B. Both the forms are same in all the respects but differ in only one thing, that firm A provides job training 1 hour per worker more than the number of hours of training of firm B, by how much the output of firm A would differ than the output from firm B?
b). The manufacturing firms that are located in Ohio will provide the job training based on the characteristics of workers. Some of the determining factors includes years of schooling, experience in a particular job, etc. The firms can even consider the worker's age, race or gender. The training will be provided to the less efficient workers based on their ability.
c). The amount of the capital as well as the technology that is available to the workers would affect the output of the firm. Thus the firms having the same kind of employees would have different outputs when the firms used different technology or different amount of capital.
d). No, unless the training is randomly assigned. The factors are listed above which can contribute to the finding of a positive correlation between the output and the training even when the job training does not improve the productivity of the worker.

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.
