Answer:
Price elasticity of demand = Percentage in quantity demanded / Percentage change in price
We already have the percentage change in quantity demanded as -4.3%.
We need to find the percentage change in price using the midpoint method.
= (New price - Old price) ÷ ((New Price + Old price) / 2)
Old price = 1.50 - 0.25 = $1.25
Percentage change in price = (1.50 - 1.25) ÷ ((1.50 + 1.25) / 2)
= 18.18%
Price elasticity of demand = -4.3% / 18.18%
= -0.24
According to your estimate, the Transit Authority's revenue rises when the fare increases. TRUE.
The statement is true because the price elasticity of demand here is Inelastic and when this is the case, revenue rises when the price of the good or service increases.
The price elasticity of demand is inelastic when it is less than 1 which is the case here.

Assume that a $1,00,000 par value, semiannual coupon U.S. Treasury note with five years to maturity (YTM) has a coupon rate of 5%. The yield to maturity of the bond is 11.00%. Using ths information and ignoring the other costs involved, the value of the T-note is calculated as $773,871.23
Based on this calculation and an understanding of semiannual coupon bonds, complete the following statements:
1. Assuming the interest rates remain constant, the T-notes price is expected to _____________. (Increase or Decrease) Please Explain Why.
2. The T-note described is selling at a ________________. (Premium or Discount) Please Explain Why.
3. When valuing a semiannual coupon bond, the time period N in the present value formula used to calculate the price of the bond is treated in terms of ____________ periods. (Annual, 6 month, 4 month, 12 month)
Answer:
Completing the following statements based on the calculations and an understanding of semiannual coupon bonds:
1. Assuming the interest rates remain constant, the T-notes price is expected to _____________. (Increase or Decrease).
The reason for the increase in the T-notes price is the addition of the amortization for the 6-month period of $17,563.
2. The T-note described is selling at a ________________. (Premium or Discount)
The T-note sells at a discount because the face value is greater than the price. This implies that at the end of the maturity period of 5 years, the amount that will be received or paid is $1,000,000 and not the price that was initially received or paid.
3. When valuing a semiannual coupon bond, the time period N in the present value formula used to calculate the price of the bond is treated in terms of ____________ periods. (Annual, 6 month, 4 month, 12 month)
Semiannual = 6 months (12/2).
Explanation:
a) Data anc Calculations:
Face value of semiannual coupon U.S. Treasury note = $1,000,000
T-note price = $773,871.23
Discount on the note = $226,128.77 ($1,000,000 - $773,871.23)
Maturity period = 5 years
Coupon rate = 5%
Yield rate = 11%
Semiannual coupon payment = $25,000 ($1,000,000 * 2.5%)
Semiannual interest expense = $42,563 ($773,871.23 * 5.5%)
Amortization of discount = $17,563 ($42,563 - $25,000)
A physical count of merchandise inventory on November 30 reveals that there are 96 units on hand. Cost of goods sold (rounded) under FIFO is
Answer: $1,712
Explanation:
If the company uses FIFO it means that they sell their earlier inventory first. If there are 96 units on hand, it means that these 96 units would be the latest inventory.
That means that these 96 units comprise of:
86 units purchased on November 25 at $6.30 each and,10 units from the November 17 purchase of 58 units at $6.05 each which means 48 units were sold from this purchase.The units sold were therefore:
= (29 * 5.80) + (115 * 6.20) + (48 * 6.05)
= 168.20 + 713 + 290.40
= $1,171.60
= $1,712
ABC and XYZ are all-equity firms. ABC has 1,750 shares outstanding at a market price of $20 a share while XYZ has 2,500 shares outstanding at a price of $28 a share. ABC is acquiring XYZ for $75,000 in cash. The incremental value of the acquisition is $8,000. What is the net present value of acquiring XYZ to ABC
Answer:
the net present value is -$32,000
Explanation:
The computation of the net present value is shown below;
= (Number of oustanding shares × market price per share) + incremental value of acquisition - acquiring value in cash
= (1,750 × $20) + $8,000 - $75,000
= $43,000 - $75,000
= -$32,000
Hence, the net present value is -$32,000
10. Which of the following is NOT a reason that real GDP is a poor measure of a nation's
economic welfare?
A)Real GDP omits measures of political freedom.
b) Real GDP does not consider the value of people's leisure time.
c) Real GDP does not include the underground economy.
D) Real GDP omits household production.
Answer:
A)Real GDP omits measures of political freedom.
Explanation:
The Real Gross Domestic Product is a measure of all the goods produced in an economy within a year but with changes in price levels triggered by inflation factored in. Political freedom does not affect economic freedom. People may be restricted politically but still, go about their normal economic activities.
Because the Real GDP basically focuses on transactions done in the markets, it might not accurately measure the growth rate because some people conduct illegal businesses underground that are not captured by the government, while some produce their goods at home. Also, leisure time is not factored and it is important because an increase in leisure time will affect time spent in activities that improve the economy.

Feldpausch Corporation has provided the following data from its activity-based costing system: Activity Cost Pool Total Cost Total Activity Assembly $1,372,578 61,800 machine-hours Processing orders $63,235 2,010 orders Inspection $151,316 2,090 inspection-hours The company makes 600 units of product W26B a year, requiring a total of 1,200 machine-hours, 78 orders, and 34 inspection-hours per year. The product's direct materials cost is $49.55 per unit and its direct labor cost is $12.44 per unit. The product sells for $128.70 per unit. According to the activity-based costing system, the product margin for product W26B is:_____.a. $8,458.52.b. $10,920.12.c. $40,026.00.d. $10,912.40.
Answer:
The correct answer is A.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the activities rates:
Assembly= 1,372,578/61,800= $22.21 per machine-hour
Processing orders= 63,235/2,010= $31.46 per order
Inspection= 151,316/2,090= $72.4 per inspection-hour
Now, we allocate costs to W26B:
Assembly= 22.21*1,200= 26,652
Processing orders= 31.46*78= 2,453.88
Inspection= 72.4*34= 2,461.6
Total allocated costs= $31,567.48
Finally, the unitary cost and margin for W26B:
Unitary allocated cost= 31,567.48/600= $52.61
Unitary total cost= 49.55 + 12.44 + 52.61= $114.6
Product margin= 128.7*600 - 114.6*600= $8,460
Suppose that Dmitri, an economist from a research institute in Texas, and Frances, an economist from a public television program, are arguing over saving incentives. The following dialogue shows an excerpt from their debate: Frances: I think it's safe to say that, in general, the savings rate of households in today's economy is much lower than it really needs to be to sustain an improvement in living standards. Dmitri: I think a switch from the income tax to a consumption tax would bring growth in living standards. Frances: You really think households would change their saving behavior enough in response to this to make a difference.Because I don't. The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to _____. Depite their differences, with which proposition are two economists chosen at random most likely to agree? A. Employers should not be restricted from outsourcing work to foreign nations. B. Central banks should focus more on maintaining low unemployment than on maintaining low inflation. C. Business managers can raise profit more easily by reducing costs than by raising revenue.
Answer:
Difference in scientific judgementsA. Employers should not be restricted from outsourcing work to foreign nations.Explanation:
The difference in opinion between these two is based on a difference between in scientific judgments because they believe that different things will happen in response to implementing a different form of taxes.
Regardless of what they think in the above regard, these economists are most likely to support the outsourcing of work if it is cheaper to do so because economists generally believe that the most efficient method of production should be undertaken.

Snack food vendors and beer distributors earn some monopoly profits in their local markets but see them slowly erode from various new substitutes. When California voted on legalizing marijuana, which side would you think that California beer distributors were on
Answer: Opposing side
Explanation:
Substitutes to the products offered by monopolies are frowned upon by monopolies because it means that they cannot raise prices whenever they want anymore because people could simply switch to the substitutes.
Substitutes therefore reduce the power of monopolies. Marijuana is a substitute to beer as a recreational product so beer companies would be opposed to it being legalized as it would pose a threat to whatever dominance they have in the recreational sector.

A successful lease agreement is created so that both the lessee and lessor reap some benefits. Tax and depreciation write-offs are some critical reasons for leasing, but there are several other qualitative reasons for leasing. Below are two situations in which a firm must decide whether to lease or to buy a particular asset. Based on your understanding of the advantages to leasing from a qualitative perspective, what is the firm likely to do in each situation—lease or buy? Assume all other quantitative factors remain constant.
Compnay #1:
Win Jet Corp. is a private-jet charter company. Due to increased demand during the summer, it needs to add three more jets to its fleet. Win Jet is more likely to ___________
Compnay #2:
Kiran owns a medium-sized printing business. She owns three one-color (black) printers and needs a color printer for volume print production. She wants to keep the operating expenses related to the color printer low, so she should ____________ a color printer.
Answer:
Company 1 : Lease new jets.
Company 2 : Buy a color printer.
Explanation:
Lease and buy are both options available to a business for acquiring an equipment. Lease option is best suited to company 1 where the demand for private jet charter has increased in summer. The demand will not remain constant in other seasons so leasing the jets for summer season is best and less costly than buying them.
For company 2, it is better to purchase color printer rather than leasing it as the demand for volume print stays throughout the year and she wants to keep her cost at minimum. Leasing the printer will be an additional monthly expense while buying the printer is one time expense.
Truck-Or-Treat specializes in leasing trucks to delivery companies. It is considering adding 25 more trucks to its available stock. Doing so will not change the risk of the company's business. The trucks depreciate over five years under the straight-line depreciation method, all the way to zero. Truck-Or-Treat believes that these newly added trucks would be able to bring the company $220,000 in annual earnings before taxes and depreciation (i.e., sales revenue minus costs of goods sold) for five years. The company is unlevered. It is in 21 percent tax rate bracket. The required annual rate of return on Truck-Or-Treat's unlevered equity is 15 percent. The risk-free rate, e.g., the Treasury bill rate, is 6 percent per year.
Required:
Calculate the maximum price that Truck-or-Treat should be willing to pay for the purchase of the new trucks if it remains an unlevered company. (In other words, what should be the "initial investment" of this unlevered truck project such that the project's NPV equals $0?
Answer:
The maximum price that Truck-or-Treat should be willing to pay for the purchase of the new trucks if it remains an unlevered company is $510,702.49.
Explanation:
Let:
x = Maximum price for the new truck = initial investment = ?
AEBTD = Annual earnings before taxes and depreciation = $220,000
T = Tax rate = 21%, or 0.21
n = Number of years = 5
Since the it is assumed that Truck-or-Treat remains an unlevered company, this implies the required annual rate of return on Truck-Or-Treat's unlevered equity of 15 percent is the relevant rate of return to use.
Therefore, we have:
r = required annual rate of return = 15%, or 0.15
D = Annual depreciation = Maximum price for the new truck / Number of useful years = x / 5 = 0.2x
P = Annual cash flow = ((AEDTD - D) * (1 - T)) + D = ((220000 - 0.2x) * (1 - 0.21)) + 0.2x = ((220000 - 0.2x) * 0.79) + 0.2x = 173,800 - 0.158x + 0.2x = 173,800 - 0.042x
Using the formula for calculating the present value (PV) of an ordinary annuity, we have:
PVP = Present value of annual cash flow = P * ((1 - (1/(1 + r))^n) / r) = (173,800 - 0.042x) * ((1 - (1/(1 + 0.15))^5) / 0.15) = (173,800 - 0.042x) * 3.3521550980114 = 582,604.56 - 0.140790514116479x
For the NPV of this unlevered truck project to be equal to $0, we must have:
x = PVP
That is:
x = 582,604.56 - 0.140790514116479x
Solving for x, we have:
x + 0.140790514116479x = 582,604.56
x(1 + 0.140790514116479) = 582,604.56
x1.140790514116479 = 582,604.56
x = 582,604.56 / 1.140790514116479 = $510,702.49
Therefore, the maximum price that Truck-or-Treat should be willing to pay for the purchase of the new trucks if it remains an unlevered company is $510,702.49.

A five-year note payable would appear on the balance sheet as a(n) a.disclosure in the notes only. b.long-term liability for the entire amount owed. c.current liability for any portion due within one year. d.intangible asset.
Answer: current liability for any portion due within one year
Explanation:
Notes payable are referred to as the written agreements whereby one party agrees to pay the other party a certain amount of money.
It should be noted that on the balance sheet, notes payable will appear as liabilities. In a situation when the amount is due within a year, then it's considered to be current liabilities while it's regarded as a long-term liability when it's more than a year,
It should be noted that a five-year note payable would appear on the balance sheet as current liability for any portion due within one year.

8760 14016
So total depreciation is
= $8,760 + $14,016
= $22,776
Now
Book Value of the company is
= oriignal value - depreication
= $43,800 - $22,776
= $21,024
And,
Sale price = 32500
So,
Gain is
= $32,500 - $21,024
= $11,476
So,
Tax = 0.35% of 11476
= $4,016
And, finally
Net cashflows is
= Sale price - tax
= $28,483.4
Answer:
The correct solution is "28483".
Explanation:
According to the question,
Given:
Sales price,
= 32500
MARCS rates,
= [tex]43800\times 0.2[/tex]
= [tex]8760[/tex]
Or,
= [tex]43800\times 0.32[/tex]
= [tex]14016[/tex]
Now,
The total depreciation will be:
= [tex]8760+14016[/tex]
= [tex]22776[/tex]
The company's book value will be:
= [tex]Original \ value-Depreciation[/tex]
= [tex]43800-22776[/tex]
= [tex]21024[/tex]
Gain will be:
= [tex]32500-21024[/tex]
= [tex]11476[/tex]
Tax,
= [tex]35\times 11476[/tex]
= [tex]4016[/tex]
hence,
The net cashflows will be:
= [tex]Sale \ price-Tax[/tex]
= [tex]32500-4016[/tex]
= [tex]28483[/tex]
Flexible Budgeting
At the beginning of the period, the Fabricating Department budgeted direct labor of $9,280 and equipment depreciation of $2,300 for 640 hours of production. The department actually completed 600 hours of production. Determine the budget for the department, assuming that it uses flexible budgeting.
Flexible Budgeting
At the beginning of the period, the Grinding Department budgeted direct labor of $55,200 and property tax of $30,000 for 2,400 hours of production. The department actually completed 2,900 hours of production. Determine the budget for the department, assuming that it uses flexible budget.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The flexible budget is adapting the standard costs to the actual quantity.
Fabricating Department:
Depreciation= $2,300
Standard hourly rate= 2,300/640= $3.594
The department completed 600 hours of production.
Actual budget:
Depreciation= 2,300
Direct labor= 3.594*600= 2,156.4
Total cost= $4,456.4
Grinding Department:
Property tax= $30,000
Standard hourly rate= 55,200/2,400= $23
The department completed 2,900 hours of production.
Actual budget:
Property tax= $30,000
Direct labor= 23*2,900= 66,700
Total cost= $96,700
The controller of Sandhill Industries has collected the following monthly expense data for use in analyzing the cost behavior of maintenance costs. Month Total Maintenance Costs Total Machine Hours January $2,880 3,820 February 3,273 4,364 March 3,928 6,546 April 4,632 8,619 May 3,491 5,455 June 4,844 8,730 (a1) Determine the variable-cost components using the high-low method. (Round answer to 2 decimal places e.g. 2.25.)
Answer:
Variable cost per unit= $0.4
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Month Total Maintenance Costs Total Machine Hours
January $2,880 3,820
February 3,273 4,364
March 3,928 6,546
April 4,632 8,619
May 3,491 5,455
June 4,844 8,730
To calculate the variable component using the high-low method, we need to use the following formula:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (4,844 - 2,880) / (8,730 - 3,820)
Variable cost per unit= $0.4

Suppose that Raphael, an economist from an AM talk radio program, and Susan, an economist from a school of industrial relations, are arguing Over saving incentives. The following dialogue Shows an excerpt from their debate:
Susan: I think it's safe to say that, in general, the savings rate of households in today's economy is much lower than it really needs to be to sustain an improvement in living standards.
Raphael: I think a switch from the income tax to a consumption tax would bring growth in living standards.
Susan: You really think households would change their saving behavior enough in response to this to make a difference? Because I don't.
The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to_____________ . Despite their differences, with which proposition are two economists chosen at random most likely to agree?
a. Rent ceilings reduce the quantity and quality of available housing.
b. Immigrants receive more in government benefits than they contribute in taxes.
c. Having a single income tax rate would improve economic performance.
Answer:
a. Difference in values
b. a. Rent ceilings reduce the quantity and quality of available housing.
Explanation:
The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to difference in values.
Economists are known to disagree a lot with each other and this is down to them having different values and perspectives with regards to several economic decisions. This is why there are different economic theories subscribed to by economists such as Keynesian and New Classical theories.
Despite these disagreements however, there are certain things they would always agree on and one of those is that rent ceilings reduce the quantity and quality of available housing.
The logic behind this is that imposing a rent ceiling would dissuade real estate investors from putting in more money to develop properties because the rent ceiling would limit the returns that they can get.
Supply of real estate would also fall because less investors would go into the market because they would fear being unable to recoup adequate returns on account of the rent ceiling.

Complete the following data taken from the condensed income statements for merchandising Companies X, Y, and Z. For those boxes in which you must enter negative numbers use a minus sign.
Company X Company Y Company Z
Net income/(net loss) $30 $_____ $(20)
Sales _____ 1,270 970
Gross profit 245 _____ 525
Operating expenses _____ 525 _____
Cost of goods sold 330 790 _____
Answer:
Company X:
Sales :
= Gross Profit + Cost of goods sold
= 245 + 330
= $575
Operating expenses:
= Gross profit - Net income
= 245 - 30
= $215
Company Y
Gross profit:
= Sales - Cost of goods sold
= 1,270 - 790
= $480
Net income:
= Gross profit - Operating expenses
= 480 - 525
= $(45)
Company Z
Operating expenses :
= Gross profit - Net income
= 525 - (-20)
= 525 + 20
= $545
Cost of goods sold:
= Sales - Gross profit
= 970 - 525
= $445
g Determine the amount to be added to Allowance for Doubtful Accounts in each of the following cases and indicate the ending balance in each case. a. Credit balance of $370 in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts just prior to adjustment. Using the aging method, the balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is estimated as
Answer:
Missing word "is estimated as $8,820. Amount added Ending balance b. Credit balance of $450 in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts just prior to adjustment. Bad debt expense is estimated at 2% of credit sales, which totaled $1,111,000 for the year. Amount added Ending balance"
a. Amount added = Balance as per aging method - Credit balance
Amount added = $8,820 - $370
Amount added = $8,450
So, Amount added = $8,450, Ending balance = $8,820
b. Amount added = 2% * Credit sale
Amount added = 2% * $1,111,000
Amount added = $22,220
Ending balance = $22,220 + $370
Ending balance = $21,850
Given the accelerated pace of technological change, in combination with deregulation, globalization, and demographic shifts, a firm will only be successful today if its:
a. resource advantage is maintained for a short period of time.
b. internal strengths change with its external environment in a dynamic fashion.
c. resource advantage is not causally ambiguous or socially complex.
d. competitive advantage is derived from static resource or market advantages.
Answer:
Option b. Internal strengths change with its external environment in a dynamic fashion.
Explanation:
The main forces driving industry evolution all over the world are Technology and demand.
Technological change is a form of social and institutional compiled or embedded process. It is limited by their social and economic views. The choices and technologies used are affected by the drive for profit, capital accumulates and investment etc. has compressed greatly as the pace of technological change has also increased or accelerated.
The accelerated pace of technological change, in combination with deregulation, globalization, and demographic shifts, dynamic markets today are the rule. As response, a firm may create, deploy, modify, reconfigure, or upgrade resources so as to give value to customers and/or lower costs.
Types of technological change
1. Incremental innovations:
2. Radical innovations
3. Changes of technology system
4. Changes in the techno-economic paradigm
Zoey Bella Company has a payroll of $10,000 for a five-day workweek. Its employees are paid each Friday for the five-day workweek. Journalize the adjusting entry required on December 31, assuming the year ends on a Thursday. If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.
Date Description Post. Ref. Debit Credit
Answer:
Wages Expense debit $8,000
Wages Payable credit $8,000
Explanation:
At the end of December 31, which is a Thursday, workers would have worked 4 days out of a 5-day week, which implies we need to recognize wages for the 4 days because it has been incurred even not yet paid
Wages for 4-days=$10,000*4/5
Wages for 4-days=$8,000
We would debit wages account with $8,000 since an increase in an expense account is a debit entry while wages payable would be credited since it is an increase in liabilities
The data is D = 50,000/year, S= $500 per order, H = $0.25 per unit per year. Assume a lead time of 3 days.
Fill in the following table. Write out the formulas you are using.
Annual demand
Holding cost (units per year)
Ordering cost
Ordering quantity (EOQ)
Number of orders per year
Average inventory
Maximum inventory
Reorder level
Length of order cycle
Annual holding cost
Annual ordering cost
Annual Affected Inventory Cost
b. Suppose a mistake was made in the data and the correct data is D = 60,000 per year, S = $400 per order, H = $0.20 per unit per year. Calculate the correct EOQ and affected inventory cost.
c. Now suppose we used the incorrect EOQ (based on the first set of data) instead of the correct EOQ. Calculate the affected inventory cost.
d. Compute the percentage error in the EOQ and in the inventory cost.
e. Moral of the story is that incorrect estimation of costs or demand (does or does not) result in substantial deviation from the optimal cost (circle the right answer).
Answer:
Annual demand 50,000 units
Holding cost $0.25 per year
Ordering Cost $500 per order
EOQ : 14,142
Number of orders per year 4
Average inventory 14,142 units
Maximum inventory 14,500 units
Reorder level 410 units
Length of order cycle 3 days
Annual Holding cost $12,500
Annual ordering cost $2000
Annual affected inventory cost $14,500
Explanation:
EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2 * D * S}{H} }[/tex]
EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2 * 50000 * 500}{0.25} }[/tex]
EOQ = 14,142 units
Number of Order : Annual demand / EOQ
Number of order : 50,000 / 14,142 = 3.53 or approximately 4
Annual Ordering cost : No. of order * cost per order
Annual ordering cost : 4 * $500 = $2,000
Annual Holding Cost : Demand * Holding cost per unit
Annual holding cost = 50,000 * $0.25 per unit = $12,500
Reorder level : Daily demand * lead time
Reorder level : [ 50000 / 365 ] * 3 = 410 units
