Answer:
A. I would be willing to lend at average rate of 10%
B-1. No, this market will not function well.
B-2. This example illustrates an adverse selection problem.
Explanation:
A. At what interest rate would you be willing to lend if the risk-free rate were 6%?
Appropriate interest rate for type A firm bond = Premium over the risk-free rate of Type A firm + Risk-free rate = 2% + 6% = 8%
Appropriate interest rate for type B firm bond = Premium over the risk-free rate of Type B firm + Risk-free rate = 6% + 6% = 12%
Average rate = (Appropriate interest rate for type A firm bond + Appropriate interest rate for type B firm bond) / 2 = (8% + 12%) / 2 = 10%
Since the probability of any of the two firms is equal and I do not have the knowledge of which type of firm they are dealing with, I would be willing to lend at average rate of 10%.
B-1. Would this market function well?
No, this market will not function well.
The reason is that the average rate of 10% is higher than the Appropriate interest rate for type A firm bond of 8%. This would make the type A firm to withdraw from the market and only type B firm will be left in the market.
B-2. What type of asymmetric information problem does this example illustrate?
This example illustrates an adverse selection problem. This is because after type A firm which is a desirable leaves the market, only type B firm which is the less desirable firms will be willing to borrow. This makes the quality of the market to detoriorate.
Berry Bloom Co is getting ready for Mother's Day and needs to purchase bouquets of flowers which will be sold prior to the holiday. Due to the high demand leading up to Mother's Day, the bouquets of flowers are sold at $20/bouquet. However, after the holiday, the bouquets can only be sold at $10/bouquet. The bouquets of flowers are purchased at $15/bouquet. Berry Bloom Co wants to perform an analysis to determine how many bouquets should be procured in preparation for Mother's Day. This type of problem is called the Group of answer choices Economic Order Quantity Problem Nonlinear Optimization Problem Newsvendor Problem Discriminant Analysis Problem
Answer:
Berry Bloom Co.
This type of problem that requires Berry to perform an analysis to determine how many bouquets of flowers to procure in preparation for Mother's Day is a:
Newsvendor Problem.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Selling price of bouquets of flowers = $20/bouquet
Cost price of bouquets of flowers = $15/bouquet
Profit per bouquet during Mother's Day = $5 ($20 - $15)
After-holiday selling price of the bouquets of flowers = $10/bouquet
Loss per bouquet of flower after the holiday = $5 ($15 - $10)
b) The Newsvendor model describes the challenges facing Berry Bloom as it gets ready for the Mother's Day holiday. The company must decide the volume of bouquets of flowers to procure prior to the holiday. The purchase decision becomes a problem because the demand for flowers is not certain, and the company is aware that unsold bouquets will be sold at a loss of $5 per bouquet after the holiday.

2. Using ABC, overhead cost assigned to Job #971 for machine repair is:____.
a. $2,300.
b. $990.
c. $6,500.
d. $690.
e. $1,020.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the allocation rates:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Machine setup= 21,600/540= $40 per setup
Machine repair= 1,260/31,500= $0.04 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate costs to Job 971:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Machine setup= 40*30= $1,200
Machine repair= 0.04*15,000= $600

c. A currency can be used to express the value goods and services that are both relatively expensive and goods and services that are relatively cheap.
d. People are willing to accept a currency in the future as compensation for debts accrued earlier
Answer:
d. People are willing to accept a currency in the future as compensation for debts accrued earlier
Explanation:
Money can be used to pay your current debts at a later date since $100 will still be $100 in the future. They might lose some of its value due to inflation, but they do not spoil or rot, and will probably be accepted in the future. imagine trying to pay an old debt with rotten tomatoes or an old cow.
Junko's car dealership has been suffering from dust on the cars in its lot ever since Mak opened his bakery nearby. The bakery's flour deliveries send waves of dust down the block. Junko offers to cover half of the cost of Mak adding a shelter for his delivery area to reduce the blowing of flour dust toward the dealership. This is an example of reducing a negative externality through:
Answer:
"Private bargaining" seems to the appropriate response.
Explanation:
An accidental result of such an operation obtained by a corporate system as well as the agent isn't a respondent to this product or group of products, is termed as Externality.Factory pollution would be a detrimental externality as well as the costs are paid by local people. Correspondingly, thick planting supplies the locality with natural ventilation, which is a good externality.The groups remain private or third-party support until they reached a compromise. Thus the solution seems to be the right one.
Corruptco is a large machine shop that fabricates metals. Corruptco maximizes profits and shareholder value by polluting the local river, where fish are often killed off due to the pollution, rather than installing a pollution abatement device. While this is not specifically in violation of the law, it does put burdens on the local community. Which theory of corporate social responsibility is Corruptco exhibiting
Answer: a. the narrow view, or invisible hand theory
Explanation:
When it comes to the narrow view theory of corporate social responsibility, companies put one thing above all else, the maximisation of shareholder wealth.
Any activity that would help them do so - legally - is considered fair game even if it leads to adverse effects. Corruptco is therefore adhering to this theory because they are polluting the the local river to maximize shareholder value.
You expect to receive a payout from a trust fund in 3 years. The payout will be for $10,200. You plan to invest the money at an annual rate of 6.2 percent until the account is worth $17,800. How many years do you have to wait from today
Answer:
n= 12.25 years
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Present value= $10,200
Future value= $17,800
Interest rate= 6.2%
First, we need to calculate the number of years it will take the investment to reach $17,80. We need to use the following formula:
n= ln(FV/PV) / ln(1+i)
n= ln(17,800/10,200) / ln(1.062)
n= 9.25 years
Now, the total number of years:
n= 9.25 + 3
n= 12.25 years
With perfect price discrimination, the marginal revenue curve
A) is equal to the demand curve.
B) is below the demand curve. C) is above the demand curve.
D) is horizontal.
Answer: b
Explanation: Because the monopolist must lower the price on all units in order to sell additional units, marginal revenue is less than price. Because marginal revenue is less than price, the marginal revenue curve will lie below the demand curve.

Adkins Bakery uses the modified half-month convention to calculate depreciation expense in the year an asset is purchased or sold. Adkins has a calendar year accounting period and uses the straight-line method to compute depreciation expense. On March 17, 2018, Adkins acquired equipment at a cost of $220,000. The equipment has a residual value of $43,000 and an estimated useful life of 4 years. What amount of depreciation expense will be recorded for the year ending December 31, 2018
Answer:
Depreciation expense= $36,875
Explanation:
Under the straight line method of depreciation, the cost of an asset less the salvage value is spread equally over the expected useful life.
An equal amount is charged as annual depreciation over the life of the asset. The annual depreciation is calculated as follows:
Annual depreciation:
= (cost of assets - salvage value)/ Estimated useful life
Cost - 220,000
Residual value = 43,000
Estimated useful life = 4 years
Annual depreciation = (220,000- 43,000)/4 =44,250
Annual depreciation = 44,250.
Under the half-month convention, a full month depreciation is charged where an asset is first put to at the middle month of the month.
Thus March 17, 2018 to December 2018 is taken to be 10 full months
Depreciation expense = 44,250.× 10/12 = 36,875
Depreciation expense= $36,875
Troy Engines, Ltd., manufactures a variety of engines for use in heavy equipment. The company has always produced all of the necessary parts for its engines, including all of the carburetors. An outside supplier has offered to sell one type of carburetor to Troy Engines, Ltd., for a cost of $34 per unit. To evaluate this offer, Troy Engines, Ltd., has gathered the following information relating to its own cost of producing the carburetor internally:
Per Unit 21,000 Units
Per Year
Direct materials $ 14 $ 294,000
Direct labor 12 252,000
Variable manufacturing overhead 2 42,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead, traceable 9 * 189,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead, allocated 12 252,000
Total cost $ 49 $ 1,029,000
Required:
1. Assuming the company has no alternative use for the facilities that are now being used to produce the carburetors, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 17,000 carburetors from the outside supplier?
2. Should the outside supplier’s offer be accepted?
3. Suppose that if the carburetors were purchased, Troy Engines, Ltd., could use the freed capacity to launch a new product. The segment margin of the new product would be $170,000 per year. Given this new assumption, what would be financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 17,000 carburetors from the outside supplier?
4. Given the new assumption in requirement 3, should the outside supplier’s offer be accepted?
Answer:
Troy Engines, Ltd.
1. Financial advantage of buying from outside supplier = $51,000 ($629,000 - $578,000)
2. The outside supplier's offer should be accepted.
3. The financial advantage would increase by $170,000 to $221,000.
4. The outside supplier's offer should still be accepted.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Outside supplier's selling price = $34 per unit
Costs of producing in-house:
Per Unit 21,000 Units Per Year
Direct materials $ 14 $ 294,000
Direct labor 12 252,000
Variable manufacturing overhead 2 42,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead, traceable 9 * 189,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead, allocated 12 252,000
Total cost $ 49 $ 1,029,000
Cost of buying 17,000 carburetors from the outside supplier at $34 per unit = $578,000
Relevant cost of making 17,000 carburetors in-house ($37 * 17,000) = $629,000
1. Financial advantage of buying from outside supplier = $51,000 ($629,000 - $578,000)
2. The outside supplier's offer should be accepted.
3. The financial advantage would increase by $170,000 to $221,000.
4. The outside supplier's offer should still be accepted.
Suppose your salary in 2016 is $30,000. Assuming an annual inflation rate of 3%, what salary do you need to earn in 2022 in order to have the same purchasing power
Answer:
$35821.5
Explanation:
Using compound formula
A= P( 1+ r/ n)^ nt
A= amount
t= time period
n=Number of years
2016----2022= 6years
Substitute for the values we have
A= $30,000[ 1+ (3/100)/1]^ (6)
A= $35821.5
Hence, salary you need to earn in 2022 in order to have the same purchasing power is $35821.5

For 2021, Rahal's Auto Parts estimates bad debt expense at 1% of credit sales. The company reported accounts receivable and an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $91,000 and $3,000, respectively, at December 31, 2020. During 2021, Rahal's credit sales and collections were $413,000 and $417,000, respectively, and $3,690 in accounts receivable were written off. Rahal's final balance in its allowance for uncollectible accounts at December 31, 2021, is:
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Rahal's final balance in its allowance for uncollectible accounts at December 31, 2021 would be calculated as;
Step 1
= $413,000 × 1%
= $413,000 × 0.01
= $4,130
Step 2
= $3,000 - $3,690
= ($690)
Step 3
= $4,130 + ($690)
= $4,130 - $690
= $3,440
Therefore, Rahal's final balance in its allowance for uncollectible accounts at December 31, 2020 is $3,440

Income tax (21%) 66,458
After-tax income $249,998
equivalent to $250,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
CLIFF CONSULTING
Contribution Income Statement
For the Year Ended September 30
Sales revenue $ 1,200,000
Variable costs
Cost of services $ 480,000
Selling and administrative 60,000 540,000
Contribution margin 660,000
Fixed Costs -selling and administrative 440,000
Before-tax profit 220,000
Income taxes (21%) 46,200
After-tax profit $ 173,800
Break-even point in sales revenue = Fixed costs/Contribution margin ratio
= $440,000/0.55
= $800,000
Annual margin of safety = normal sales revenue minus break-even sales revenue
= $1,200,000 - $800,000
= $400,000
Contribution margin ratio = contribution margin/sales revenue * 100
= $660,000/$1,200,000 * 100 = 55%
If fixed costs increases by $80,000, the break-even point in sales revenue
= ($440,000 + $80,000)/0.55 = $520,000/0.55 = $945,455
To achieve after-tax net income of $250,000, the required dollar sales revenue:
Net income after-tax = $250,000
Tax rate = 21%
Net income before tax = $250,000/1-21%
= $250,000/0.79 = $316,456
Sales dollars to achieve target profit = (Fixed costs + Target Profit/1 - 0.21)/Contribution margin
= ($440,000 + ($250,000/0.79))/0-55
= ($440,000 + $316,456)/0.55
= $756,456/0.55
= $1,375,375
Abbreviated Contribution Income Statement
Sales revenue $1,375,375
Variable costs = 618,919
Contribution = $756,456
Fixed costs 440,000
Before tax income 316,456
Income tax (21%) 66,458
After-tax income $249,998
After-tax income is equivalent to $250,000
Waterway Industries purchased land as a factory site for $1335000. Waterway paid $120000 to tear down two buildings on the land. Salvage was sold for $8300. Legal fees of $5220 were paid for title investigation and making the purchase. Architect's fees were $46000. Title insurance cost $3900, and liability insurance during construction cost $4200. Excavation cost $15280. The contractor was paid $4500000. An assessment made by the city for pavement was $9700. Interest costs during construction were $258000. The cost of the land that should be recorded by Waterway Industries is $1479620. $1465520. $1469920. $1455820.
Answer:
$1,465,520
Explanation:
Calculation of cost of the land that should be recorded by Water ways industries
Cost of land = Purchase price + demolition of building - sales of salvage + legal fees + Title insurance cost + Payment assessment
Cost of land = $1,335,000 + $120,000 - $8,300 + $5,220 + $3,900 + $9,700
Cost of land = $1,465,520
Short Company purchased land by paying $11,000 cash on the purchase date and agreed to pay $11,000 for each of the next six years beginning one-year from the purchase date. Short's incremental borrowing rate is 7%. On the balance sheet as of the purchase date, after the initial $11,000 payment was made, the liability reported is closest to: (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, and PVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
Answer: $52,431.50
Explanation:
The liability reported will be the present value of the six payments of $11,000.
Since this is a constant amount, it will be an annuity:
= 11,000 * Present value interest factor of an annuity, 6 years, 7%
= 11,000 * 4.7665
= $52,431.50
Any difference between this and any options given is down to rounding errors. Pick the closest figure.

YZ Company is rethinking the way it ships to its 62 customers in another city 220 miles away.
Current Shipping/Delivery Method
They currently hire an LTL (less-than-truckload) carrier to pick up and deliver these shipments. Each customer order shipped via LTL carrier costs $147.
Alternate Shipping/Delivery Method
A 3PL (third-party logistics provider) has approached XYZ Company and suggested that they make full truckload (TL) shipments from their facility to the 3PL's warehouse in the customers' city. The 3PL would then break the bulk shipment (TL or truckload shipment) into individual customer orders to be shipped locally by an LTL carrier. The relative data for this alternate shipping method are as follows:
Full TL shipment cost (220 miles) = $675
Average order weight = 750 lbs.
Warehouse break-bulk fee (per 100 lbs., a.k.a. per "hundred weight") = $13
Local LTL delivery fee = $36
1. What is the total cost of delivering to all customers via LTL carrier (current method
R=_______.
2. How much money would XYZ company save by using the alternate shipping/delivery method?
R=______.
3. At what number of customers would the cost of these two methods be the same?
R=______.
Answer:
1. Total cost of customer order shipped via LTL carrier is $9,114.
2. XYZ company would save $162 by using the alternate shipping/delivery method.
3. The cost of these two methods would be the same when the number of customers is approximately 6.
Explanation:
To ease answering the question, let us first the define as follows:
N = Number of customers = Number of Order
A = Each customer order shipped via LTL carrier costs = $147
B = Average order weight = 750
C = Warehouse break-bulk fee per hundred weight = 13
D = Total cost of weight = ((N * B) / 100) * C
E = Local LTL delivery fee = $36
F = Total Local LTL delivery fee = N * E
G = Full TL shipment cost (220 miles) = 675
H = Total cost of shipping using 3PL = D + F + G
I = Total cost of customer order shipped via LTL carrier = N * A
J = Difference between the cost of the two methods = I - H
1. What is the total cost of delivering to all customers via LTL carrier (current method
This can be calculated using E above as follows:
Total cost of customer order shipped via LTL carrier = E = N * A = 62 * $147 = $9,114
2. How much money would XYZ company save by using the alternate shipping/delivery method?
From the definitions above, we have:
N = Number of orders = 62
D = Total cost of weight = ((N * B) / 100) * C = ((62 * 750) / 100) * 13 = $6,045
F = Total Local LTL delivery fee = N * E = 62 * 36 = $2,232
G = Full TL shipment cost (220 miles) = $675
H = Total cost of shipping using 3PL = D + F + G = $6,045 + $2,232 + $675 = $8,952
I = Total cost of customer order shipped via LTL carrier = $9,114
J = Difference between the cost of the two methods = I - H = $9,114 - $8,952 = $162
Therefore, XYZ company would save $162 by using the alternate shipping/delivery method.
3. At what number of customers would the cost of these two methods be the same?
H = Total cost of shipping using 3PL = D + F + G = (((N * B) / 100) * C) + (N * E) + G ............ (1)
Substituting all the relevant value into equation (1), we have:
H = (((N * 750) / 100) * 13) + (N * 36) + 675
I = N * 147
Equating H and I and solve for N, we have:
(((N * 750) / 100) * 13) + (N * 36) + 675 = N * 147
((N0.01 * 7.50) * 13) + 675 = N147 - N36
(N0.075* 13) + 675 = N111
N0.975 + 675 = N111
675 = N111 - N0.975
N110.025 = 675
N = 675 / 110.025
N = 6.13496932515337.
By approximating to a whole number since we are talking about human being, we have:
N = 6
At what number of customers would
Therefore, the cost of these two methods would be the same when the number of customers is approximately 6.

Determine the likely impact of a 3 percent decline in global income on the overall demand of your product.
a. Demand will decline by approximately 0.1%, but since income elasticity isn't significantly different from zero, it likely won't fall at all.
b. Demand will fall by nearly 10%, and income elasticity is significantly less than zero.
c. Demand will fall by nearly 1%, and income elasticity is significantly less than zero.
d. Demand will decline by approximately 3%, but since income elasticity isn't significantly different from zero, it likely won't fall at all.
Answer:
lnQ=C 1.29 + -0.07 lnP + -0.03 lnM
c. Demand will fall by nearly 1% and income elasticity is significantly less than zero.
Explanation:
Income elasticity is a major factor which impact the demand of a product. It measures the change in quantity demanded due to change in income. In the given scenario the demand for product will decline due to change in income. The income elasticity is smaller there will not be major change in demand but there will be some impact observed on the quantity demanded.
Assigning manufacturing overhead costs and other indirect costs is called a:
Answer:
Cost allocation
Explanation:
Cost allocation means the process where the identification, aggregation, and the allocating of the cost is made to the various cost objects. It plays an important role as the cost i.e. incurred for generating a particular product or rendering a service would be determined
So if the manufacturing overhead cost assigned and the other indirect cost so this we called cost allocation
Ms. T. Potts, the treasurer of Ideal China, has a problem. The company has just ordered a new kiln for $464,000. Of this sum, $58,000 is described by the supplier as an installation cost. Ms. Potts does not know whether the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will permit the company to treat this cost as a tax-deductible current expense or as a capital investment. In the latter case, the company could depreciate the $58,000 straight-line over 5 years. The tax rate is 30% and the opportunity cost of capital is 5%.
a. What is the present value of the cost of the kiln if the installation cost is treated as a separate current expense?
b. What is the present value of the cost of the kiln if the installation cost is treated as a part of the capital investment?
Answer:
Ideal China
a) The present value of the cost of the kiln if the installation cost is treated as a separate current expense is:
= $318,304.
b) The present value of the cost of the kiln if the installation cost is treated as a part of the capital investment is:
= $363,776.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Present value factor for 5 years at 5% = 0.784
Cost of new kiln = $464,000
Installation cost = $58,000
Present value of the cost of the kiln if the installation cost is treated as a separate current expense = $406,000 * 0.784 = $318,304
Present value of the cost of the kiln if the installation cost is treated as a part of the capital investment = $464,000 * 0.784 = $363,776

How much rent is allocable to the assembly department using the direct method of allocation
Answer:
$404,800
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How much rent is allocable to the assembly department using the direct method of allocation
Using this formula
Rent =Area used by Assembly department / Total Area used by Manufacturing Departments x Total Rent paid
Let plug in the formula
Rent =36,850/ (36,850+30,150) x $736,000
Rent=36,850/67,000*$738,000
Rent=0.55*$736,000
Rent= $404,800
Therefore How much rent is allocable to the assembly department using the direct method of allocation is $404,800

A $64,000 machine with a 6-year class life was purchased 2 years ago. The machine will now be sold for $50,000 and replaced with a new machine costing $82,000, with a 10-year class life. The new machine will not increase sales, but will decrease operating costs by $9,000 per year. Simplified straight line depreciation is employed for both machines, and the marginal corporate tax rate is 34 percent. What is the incremental annual cash flow associated with the project
Answer:
$6,779
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the incremental annual cash flow associated with the project
First step is to calculate the depreciation
Depreciation=[($64,000/6 years)-($82,000/10 years)
Depreciation=$10,667-$8,200
Depreciation=$2,467
Now let calculate the Incremental annual cash flow
Incremental annual cash flow ={($9,000-$2,467)
-[($9,000-$2,467)*34%]+$2,467}
Incremental annual cash flow =[($6,533-$2,221)+$2,467]
Incremental annual cash flow =$4,312+$2,467
Incremental annual cash flow=$6,779
Therefore the incremental annual cash flow associated with the project is $6,779
