Answer:
Cross-price elasticity of demand between printed and digital magazine subscriptions is 8.91.
Explanation:
Percentage change in price of Printed Magazine Subscription = ((Printed Magazine Subscription Price1 - Printed Magazine Subscription Price0) / Printed Magazine Subscription Price0) * 100 = (($13.40 - $20) / $20) * 100 = -33%
Percentage change in quantity of Digital Magazine Subscription Quantity = ((Digital Magazine Subscription Quantity1 - Digital Magazine Subscription Quantity0) / Digital Magazine Subscription Quantity0) * 100 = ((208 - 216) / 216) * 100 = -3.7037037037037%
Cross-price elasticity of demand between printed and digital magazine subscriptions = Percentage change in price of Printed Magazine Subscription / Percentage change in quantity of Digital Magazine Subscription Quantity = -33% / -3.7037037037037% = 8.91
Note: The relationship between printed and digital magazine subscriptions is that they are substitutes because the cross-price elasticity between them is positive. That is, an increase in the price of printed digital magazine makes consumer to switch to and buy more of digital magazine which is a substitute.
ABC Industries is a division of a major corporation. Data concerning the most recent year appears below:
Sales $18,080,000
Net operating income $940,160

Hence, the return on investment is 19.55%
On December 31, 2016, Bart Inc. purchased a machine from Fell Corp. in exchange for a noninterest-bearing note requiring eight payments of $20,000. The first payment was made on December 31, 2016, and the remaining seven payments are due annually on each December 31, beginning in 2017. At the date of the transaction, the prevailing rate of interest for this type of note was 11%. Present value factors are as follows: Period Present value of ordinary annuity of 1 at 11% Present value of an annuity due of 1 at 11% 7 4.712 5.231 8 5.146 5.712 The initial value of the machine is
Answer:
Bart Inc.
The initial value of the machine is:
= $114,240.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Date of purchase of machine from Fell Corp. = December 31, 2016
Annual payments for a non-interest-bearing note = $20,000
Appropriate present value of the annuity due = 5.712
PV of the annual payments for 8 years = $114,240 ($20,000 * 5.712)
First payment date = December 31, 2016
Period of payments = 8 years
Prevailing interest rate for this type of note = 11%
Check from an online financial calculator:
N (# of periods) 8
I/Y (Interest per year) 11
PMT (Periodic Payment) 20000
FV (Future Value) 0
Results
PV = $114,243.93
Sum of all periodic payments = $160,000.00
Total Interest = $45,756.07

The income from operations and the amount of invested assets in each division of Beck Industries are as follows: Income from Operations Invested Assets Retail Division $5,400,000 $30,000,000 Commercial Division 6,250,000 25,000,000 Internet Division 1,800,000 12,000,000 a. Compute the return on investment for each division.
Answer:
Retail Division = 18 %
Commercial Division = 25 %
Internet Division = 15 %
Explanation:
Return on Investment = Net Income / Assets employed x 100
therefore,
Retail Division = $5,400,000 / $30,000,000 x 100
= 18 %
Commercial Division = $6,250,000 / $25,000,000 x 100
= 25 %
Internet Division = $1,800,000 / $12,000,000 x 100
= 15 %
Suppose your client wishes to purchase an annuity that pays $50,000 each year for 5 years, with the first payment 4 years from now. At an interest rate of 10%, how much would the client need to invest now
Answer:
The amount the client would need to invest now is $182,143.58.
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the following two steps:
Step 1: Calculate the present value (PV) of the amount invested 4 years from now
This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV4 = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV4 = Present value of the amount invested 4 years from now = ?
P = Annual payment = $50,000
r = Interest rate = 10%, or 0.10
n = number of years the annual payment will be received = 5
Substitute the values into equation (1), we have:
PV4 = $50,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.10))^5) / 0.10)
PV4 = $189,539.34
Step 2: Calculate the amount the client would need to invest now
This can be calculated using the present value formula as follows:
PV = PV4 / (1 + r)^n …………………………. (2)
Where:
PV = Present value or the amount the client would need to invest now = ?
PV4 = Present value of the amount invested 4 years from now = $189,539.34
r = Interest rate = 10%, or 0.10
n = number of years of PV4 from now = 4
Substituting the relevant values into equation one, we have:
PV = $189,539.34 / (1 + 0.01)^4
PV = $182,143.58
Therefore, the amount the client would need to invest now is $182,143.58.

Joe is currently selling 873 hamburgers per month at $5 per hamburger for total monthly sales of $4,365. The restaurant manager feels that a $1,000 monthly advertising budget would increase monthly sales by $3,000 to a total of 1,473 hamburgers. Should Joe add advertising
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Yes, as long as Joe is able to recover the money that he has spent on advertising and still increase his profit, then he should advertise. In this scenario, he wants to spend a fixed $1000 monthly on ads. If these ads generate an increase monthly sales of $3,000 as expected, then this means that Joe's restaurant will increase their total profits by $2,000 after recovering what they spent on the ads. This is what ads are for.
Agreement and disagreement among economists
Suppose that Raphael, an economist from an AM talk radio program, and Susan, an economist from a nonprofit organization on the West Coast, are arguing over saving incentives. The following dialogue shows an excerpt from their debate:
Yvette: 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 the improvement of living standards.
Sean: I think a switch from the income tax to a consumption tax would bring growth in living standards.
Yvette: You really think households would change their saving behavior enough in response to this to make a difference? Because I don't.
1. The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to (differences in values, differences in perception versus reality, differences in scientific judgments) .
2. Despite their differences, with which proposition are two economists chosen at random most likely to agree?
A. Lawyers make up an excessive percentage of elected officials.
B. Minimum wage laws do more to harm low-skilled workers than help them.
C. Tariffs and import quotas generally reduce economic welfare.
Answer:
Differences in values C. Tariffs and import quotas generally reduce economic welfare.Explanation:
Yvette and Sean most likely have a difference in values because they believe that one thing is better for the economy than the other. This means that when it comes down to the economy, they value a certain approach over other approaches.
Economist don't usually find common ground on many things but there are some things where they have a general consensus and one of them is that tariffs and import quotas are bad for the economy. They believe that people stand more to gain from free trade than restricted trade.
At December 31, 2020, Suffolk Corporation had an estimated warranty liability of $105,000 for accounting purposes and $0 for tax purposes. (The warranty costs are not deductible until paid.) The effective tax rate is 20%. Compute the amount Suffolk should report as a deferred tax asset at December 31, 2020.
Answer:
Deferred tax asset = $21000
Explanation:
Given the warranty liability = $105000
Effective tax rate = 20%
The deferred tax asset can be calculated by calculating the effective tax from the warranty liability. Therefore, just multiply the effective tax rate to the warranty liability.
Deferred tax asset = Effective tax rate x Warranty liability
Deferred tax asset = 20% x $105000
Deferred tax asset = $21000

In preparing a company's statement of cash flows for the most recent year using the indirect method, the following information is available:
Net income for the year was $58,000
Accounts payable increased by $18,600
Accounts receivable decreased by $25,600
Inventories increased by $6,200
Depreciation expense was $31,800
Net cash provided by operating activities was:_________.
Answer:
Net cash provided by operating activities was $127,800.
Explanation:
Net cash provided by operating activities can be calculated as follows:
Net cash provided by operating activities = Net income for the year + Increase in accounts payable + Decrease in accounts receivable - Increase in inventories increased + Depreciation expense = $58,000 + $18,600 + $25,600 - $6,200 + $31,800 = $127,800
Therefore, net cash provided by operating activities was $127,800.

A. quick ratio.
B. inventory turnover ratio.
C. gross profit margin.
Answer:
B. inventory turnover ratio.
Explanation:
My best guess is that the inventory turnover ratio will be greater when LIFO is used during rising price environment because COGS will be higher and the inventory costs will be lower under LIFO than under FIFO.

Anya owns land with an adjusted basis of $305,000, subject to a mortgage of $175,000. Anya sells her land subject to the mortgage for $325,000 in cash, and a note for $300,000. What is Anya's amount realized on this sale
Answer: $800,000
Explanation:
Alice's realized amount from the sale is a sum of all the amounts that the seller gets it for as well as any mortgages assumed.
Alice therefore realized:
= Mortgage assumed by seller + Cash + Note
= 175,000 + 325,000 + 300,000
= $800,000
ng 40\%; \$4.400 A company is considering the purchase of a new machine for $ 63,000 . Management predicts that the machine can produce sales of $ 17,500 each year for the next 10 years . Expenses are expected to include direct materials , direct labor , and factory overhead totaling 6,500 per year including depreciation of per year . Income tax expense is per year based on a tax rate of What the payback period for the new machine
Answer:
3 years and 8 months
Explanation:
The payback period is the length of time that it takes for the cashflow of a project to equal the initial investment of the project.
Initial investment = $ 63,000
Cash flow :
Sales $ 17,500
Less Expenses ($6,500)
Add Depreciation ($ 63,000 ÷ 10) $6,300
Annual Cash flow $17,300
thus,
It takes 3 years and 8 months ($11,100/$17,300 x 12) for the cashflow of a project to equal the initial investment for the new machine.
Lisa Company had 100 units in beginning inventory at a total cost of $10,000. The company purchased 200 units at a total cost of $26,000. At the end of the year, Lisa had 85 units in ending inventory.

The cost of the ending inventory $11,050 $8,500 $10,200
The cost of goods sold $24,950 $27,500 $25,800
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Beginning inventory 100 units $10,000 $100
Purchase of 200 units 26,000 $130
Total units available for sale = 300 $36,000
Ending inventory - 85 units
Units sold = 215 units
Weighted-average cost per unit = $120 ($36,000/300)
FIFO:
Cost of goods sold = $24,950 ($36,000 - $11,050)
Ending inventory = $11,050 (85 * $130)
LIFO:
Cost of goods sold = $27,500 ($36,000 - $8,500)
Ending inventory = $8,500 (85 * $100)
Weighted-average:
Cost of goods sold = $25,800 (215 * $120)
Ending inventory = $10,200 (85 * $120)
K Company estimates that overhead costs...
K Company estimates that overhead costs for the next year will be $3,700,000 for indirect labor and $890,000 for factory utilities. The company uses direct labor hours as its overhead allocation base. Of 125,000 direct labor hours are planned for this next year, what is the company's plantwide overhead rate?
a. $0.03 per direct labor hour
b. $36.72 per direct labor hour.
c. $2960 per direct labor hour
d. $712 per direct labor hour
e. $0.14 per direct labor hour
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $36.72 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Answer:
A- In some countries, like China and India, it is not customary to publicly disclose company financial information. B- In countries with high power distance, where inequality between managers and employees is expected, companies may have difficulty using open-book management.Explanation:
Using open book management would mean disclosing financial information to ensure that employees know how best to use that information to push the company forward. If this is looked down upon in a country like in China and India, Recology would not be able to properly implement its open-book management style so it should take that into consideration.
This is the same problem as countries with high power distance. Inequality is expected and even encouraged between managers and employees yet Recology practices open-book management which actually tries to reduce this equality so Recology needs to properly consider such countries before they move in.
The managers must take into consideration when deciding where and how to operate is that;
In countries with high power distance, where inequality between managers and employees is expected, companies may have difficulty using open-book management.
When there is high power distances, lower-ranking citizens and employees is prone to accept and expect that power will not be distributed equally, and this also makes politicians and business leaders are distanced or isolated from others.

Managers should boast the morale of employees so as to focus on their individual job performance and reward them for individual result.
