In the short run, open-market purchases a. increase investment and real GDP, and decrease interest rates. b. increase real GDP and interest rates, and decrease investment. c. increase investment and interest rates, and decrease real GDP. d. decrease investment, interest rates, and real GDP.
Answer: a. increase investment and real GDP, and decrease interest rates.
Explanation:
During an Open Market Purchase, the central bank of the country would be buying back securities from the public which means that it would be infusing money into the economic system.
With an increased amount of money in the economy, people will be able to save more which means that interests rate will drop because there are now more loanable funds. This drop in interest rates will encourage more companies and people to borrow cash for investment which will then lead to a higher GDP.
In the short run, in the open-market purchase, there has been an increase in investment and real GDP and decreased interest rates. Thus option A is correct.
The interest rate has been the amount of interest lent onto the principal sum. The GDP has been the gross domestic product that has been the market value of the final products.
In the open-market purchase, there has been an increase in the amount of money in the market. The government has been buying the securities and results in the market flow of money. The market flow will eventually result in an increase in the GDP with the decreased interest rates.
Thus in the short run, in the open-market purchase, there has been an increase in investment and real GDP and decreased interest rates. Thus option A is correct.

A logical way to allocate building maintenance costs to departments would be based on: Select one: A. Machine hours B. Number of employees C. Labor hours D. Square feet of floor space
Answer: D. Square feet of floor space
Explanation:
The building maintenance cost should be based on a measure that takes into account the size of the building so that the maintenance cost can be apportioned based on how much space needs to be maintained.
The best measure to do so would therefore be the square feet of floor space. If maintenance cost is assigned per square feet, it would take into account how much expenses are being incurred to maintain the entire size of the building.
On October 1, 2020 Sheffield Corp. issued 5%, 10-year bonds with a face value of $6140000 at 104. Interest is paid on October 1 and April 1, with any premiums or discounts amortized on a straight-line basis. Bond interest expense reported on the December 31, 2020 income statement of Sheffield Corp. would be:_________
Answer: $70610
Explanation:
Following the information given, the issue price of the bond will be:
= $6,140,000 × 1.04
= $6,385,600
The premium on bonds payables will be:
= $6,385,600 - $6,140,000
= $245,600
Cash interest Payables will be:
= 6,140,000 × 5% × 3/12
= $76,750
Bond Premium amortization for Each Year will be:
= 245,600 / 10
= $24,560
Then, the premium amortized will be:
= $24,560 × 3/12
= $6,140
Therefore, the interest expenses on Dec 31 will be:
= Cash interset Payables - Premium amortized
= $76,750 - $6,140
= $70,610
solve the equation
(2x-5x)(4y-6x)
[tex] \sf \: (2x - 5x)(4y - 6x)[/tex]
Use distributive property.
[tex] \sf \: 2x(4y - 6x) - 5x(4y - 6x) \\ \sf \: = 8xy - 12 {x}^{2} - 20xy + 30 {x}^{2} \\ \sf \: = 8xy - 20xy - 12 {x}^{2} + 30 {x}^{2} \\ = \boxed{ \bf \: - 12xy + 18x ^{2} }[/tex]
The solution for the equation is - 12xy + 18x².
You can further simplify the equation formed as - 6x (2y - 3x).

K Company estimates that overhead costs for the next year will be $2,967,000 for indirect labor and $860,000 for factory utilities. The company uses direct labor hours as its overhead allocation base. If 86,000 direct labor hours are planned for this next year, how much overhead would be assigned to a product requiring 6 direct labor hours
Answer:
$267.00
Explanation:
First and foremost, it should be borne in mind that the overhead per direct labor hour is the total forecast overhead costs for next year divided by the planned direct labor hours, in essence, we simply determine plantwide overhead allocation rate, which is the basis for determining the amount of direct to be assigned to 6 direct labor hours
plantwide overhead allocation rate=(indirect labor overhead+factory utilities)/planned direct labor
indirect labor overhead cost=$2,967,000
factory utilities=$860,000
planned direct labor hours=86,000
plantwide overhead allocation rate=($2,967,000+$860,000)/86000
plantwide overhead allocation rate=$44.50
overhead allocation to a product requiring 6 direct labor hours=6*$44.50
overhead allocation to a product requiring 6 direct labor hours=$267.00

Corporation produces a single product. The cost of producing and selling a single unit of this product at the company's normal activity level of 46,000 units per month is as follows:
Per Unit Direct materials $45.60
Direct labor $8.70
Variable manufacturing overhead $1.70
Fixed manufacturing overhead $18.50
Variable selling & administrative expense $3.00
Fixed selling & administrative expense $14.00
The normal selling price of the product is $98.10 per unit.
An order has been received from an overseas customer for 2,600 units to be delivered this month at a special discounted price. This order would not change the total amount of the company's fixed costs. The variable selling and administrative expense would be $1.80 less per unit on this order than on normal sales.
Direct labor is a variable cost in this company.
Suppose there is not enough idle capacity to produce all of the units for the overseas customer and accepting the special order would require cutting back on production of 1,000 units for regular customers. The minimum acceptable price per unit for the special order is closest to: __________
Answer:
Ash Corporation
The minimum acceptable price per unit for the special order is closest to:
= $94.93.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Normal production capacity per month = 46,000 units
Per Unit
Direct materials $45.60
Direct labor $8.70
Variable manufacturing overhead $1.70
Fixed manufacturing overhead $18.50
Variable selling & administrative expense $3.00
Fixed selling & administrative expense $14.00
The normal selling price of the product = $98.10 per unit.
Special order = 2,600 units
Relevant costs:
Direct materials $45.60
Direct labor $8.70
Variable manufacturing overhead $1.70
Variable selling & administrative expense $1.20
Total relevant costs per unit $57.20
Total variable cost for the special order = $148,720 ($57.20 * 2,600)
Loss sales revenue (1,000 * $98.10) 98,100
Total cost for the special order = $246,820
Minimum acceptable price per unit = $94.93 ($246,820/2,600)

Standish Company manufactures consumer products and provided the following information for the month of February:
Units produced 131,000
Standard direct labor hours per unit 0.20
Standard fixed overhead rate (per direct labor hour) $2.50
Budgeted fixed overhead $65,000
Actual fixed overhead costs $68,300
Actual hours worked 26,350
Required:
a. Calculate the fixed overhead spending variance using the formula approach.
b. Calculate the volume variance using the formula approach.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. Fixed overhead Spending Variance is
= Budgeted Fixed Overhead - Actual Fixed overhead
= $65000 - $68300
= - $3300 (unfavorable)
b.
Fixed Overhead Volume Variance is
= (131000 × 0.20 × $2.50) - $65000
=$65500 - $65000
= $500 Favorable
In this way these can be determined

A company has two segments with total sales of $500,000 and total variable costs of $343,750. Traceable fixed expenses are $50,000 and common fixed expenses are $80,000. The break even in dollars for the company as a whole equals $ _______. (Enter your answer as a whole number.)
Answer:
$416,000
Explanation:
The computation of the break even in dollars for the company is given below:
Total fixed expenses = Traceable fixed expenses + Common fixed expenses
= $50,000 + $80,000
= $130,000
Now
Contribution margin ratio = (Sales - Variable costs) ÷Sales × 100
= ($500,000 - $343,750) ÷ $500,000 × 100
= 31.25%
Now
Break-eve dollars = Fixed expenses ÷ Contribution margin ratio
= $130,000 ÷ 31.25%
= $416,000
