Answer: $53,600
Explanation:
Credit sales increase the balance on Accounts Receivables because they represent that people owe the business.
It is therefore included in the formula for calculating the ending balance of Accounts Receivables:
Ending accounts receivables = Beginning accounts receivable + Credit sales in May - Customer payments during May
19,000 = 24,600 + Credit Sales in May - 59,200
Credit Sales in May = 19,000 + 59,200 - 24,600
= $53,600
Your income is $10,000 over the cutoff for the next lowest tax bracket. Your average tax rate is 10%. Your marginal tax rate is 25%. You contribute $3,000 to a traditional IRA and your contribution is fully deductible, should you decide to go that way. You decide, in fact, to make this a traditional IRA. How much did your contribution actually cost you, in after-tax dollars
Answer:
"$2,250" is the appropriate answer.
Explanation:
Given values are:
Before tax cost,
= $3000
Marginal tax rate,
= 25%
or,
= 0.25
The after tax cost of contribution will be:
= [tex]Before \ tax \ cost\times (1-Marginal \ tax \ rate)[/tex]
By putting the values, we get
= [tex]3000(1-25 \ percent)[/tex]
= [tex]3000(1-0.25)[/tex]
= [tex]3000\times 0.75[/tex]
= [tex]2250[/tex] ($)

Find the lump sum deposited today that will yield the same total amount as this yearly payment (made at the end of each year for 20 years at the given interest rate, compounded annually).
Answer:
$129,108.10
Explanation:
Missing word "$9500 at 4%"
Present Value of the amount to be deposited P = ?
Annual Year end payment A = $9,500
Rate of interest r = 4% compounded annually
Period of payment n = 20 years
P = A * [1- (1/(1+r)^n)] / r
P = $9500 * [1 - (1/(1+0.04)^20)] / 0.04
P = $9500 * [1-(1/(1.04)^20)] / 0.04
P = $9500 * [1 - (1/2.191123143)] / 0.04
P = $9500 [1 - 0.45638695] / 0.04
P = $9500 * 0.5436131 / 0.04
P = $9500 * 13.590326
P = $129,108.1003
P = $129,108.10
So, the lump sum deposited today is $129,108.10.
The ABC Corporation makes collections on sales according to the following schedule: 45% in month of sale 50% in month following sale 5% in second month following sale The following sales have been budgeted: Sales April $ 160,000 May $ 180,000 June $ 170,000 Budgeted cash collections in June would be:
Answer: $170500
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the budgeted cash collections in June would be calculated thus:
= (45% × $160000) + (50% × $180000) + (5% × $170000)
= $72000 + $90000 + $8500
= $170500
Therefore, the budgeted cash collections in June would be $170500
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
Tuscany Company estimated the following costs at the beginning of a particular year: Overhead $5,340,000 Direct labor cost $890,000 Tuscany uses normal costing and applies overhead on the basis of direct labor cost. (Direct labor cost equals total direct labor hours worked multiplied by the wage rate.) The direct labor cost was $50,000 for the month of January. Determine the overhead applied for the month of January.
Answer: $300,000
Explanation:
As overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor cost, the overhead rate for the period is:
= Overhead / Direct labor cost * 100%
= 5,340,000 / 890,000 * 100%
= 600%
If direct labor cost is $50,000 then overhead applied will be:
= Direct labor cost * Overhead rate
= 50,000 * 600%
= $300,000

Carmel Corporation is considering the purchase of a machine costing $47,000 with a 7-year useful life and no salvage value. Carmel uses straight-line depreciation and assumes that the annual cash inflow from the machine will be received uniformly throughout each year. In calculating the accounting rate of return, what is Carmel's average investment
Answer:
$23,500
Explanation:
The average accounting rate of return is the rate of return on the investment in the project considering the average annual net income and the average amount of investment made in the project.
In other words, it is the average annual net income expressed as a percentage of the average investment as shown below
average accounting rate of return =average annual net income / average investment.
average investment=(initial capital outlay+book value of the project at end of useful life)/2
initial capital outlay=$47,000
book value of the project at end of useful life=$0
average investment=($47,000+$0)/2
average investment=$23,500
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

Suppose a stock had an initial price of $56 per share, paid a dividend of $1.60 per share during the year, and had an ending share price of $66. Compute the percentage total return. (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer: 20.71%
Explanation:
The percentage total return will be calculated as follows:
= (Ending price + Dividend - Initial price) / Initial price
= ($66 + $1.60 - $56) / $56
= $11.60 / $56
= 0.2071
= 20.71%
Therefore, the percentage total return is 20.71%
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
The price elasticity of demand for a popular sporting event is 1.5. If the price of a ticket to this event increases by 10%, the quantity of tickets demanded will decrease by
Answer: Quantity demanded will decrease by 15%
Explanation:
The price elasticity of demand shows how much the quantity demanded of a good or service will change in response to a change in the price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = Percentage change in quantity / Percentage change in price
1.5 = % change in quantity demanded / 10%
% change in quantity demanded = 1.5 * 10%
% change in quantity demanded = 15%
Quantity demanded will decrease by 15%
To balance the trade-off between speed and distance in ADSL, most ADSL service providers have chosen a T1 level of ADSL, and offer it under the trademarked name of _________ ADSL
Incomplete question. The missing option read;
a. CA*net 3
b. DOCSIS
c. G.Lite
d. OE
e. UCAID
Answer:
c. G.Lite
Explanation:
Remember, the term ADSL stands for, Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL), a telco-enabled service for digital communication.
Indeed, because of the shortcomings of a normal ADSL connection, ADSL service providers often chose to use G.Lite since it does not require a voice-data splitter to split the voice and data signals coming from a communication line, by so doing they are able to balance the trade-off between speed and distance in ADSL.

Answer:
< Bestiary of Behavioral Economics. Overconfidence is a common tendency to overestimate one's ability to predict and control future outcomes. It is recognized in psychology as well as economics and has been blamed for countless counterintuitive economic outcomes.
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.

Suppose that the airline industry is in long-run equilibrium when the price of gasoline increases, raising the cost of operating airplanes. In the long run, the number of airlines in business should:________a. remain constant with lower profits.b. increase.c. decrease.d. remain constant with constant profits.
Answer: c. decrease.
Explanation:
If the cost of operating airplanes increases on account of gasoline prices rising, it means that running an airline service would be more expensive.
In the long-run, there is zero economic profit as companies keep entering and exiting the market. If costs increase as they have done here, there will be an economic loss. Several firms will therefore exit in order to avoid these costs which would lead to the number of airlines decreasing.
When they decrease, prices will then go up till the economic profit is zero once more.
