Answer:
Cross-price elasticity of demand for fax machine with respect to the price of phone service is 0.412
Explanation:
+ If the cost of a phone call is $10, according to the equation, fax machines demand would be: 1000 - 400 + 40 * 10 = 1,000
+ If the cost of the call is to be increase by 10% which is 10 x 1.1 = $11, fax machines demand would be : 1000 - 400 + 40 *1.1 = 1,040
+ Cross-price elasticity of demand for fax machine with respect to the price of the phone services is calculated as: % change in demand / % change in price; in which:
% change in price = (change in price) / [( original price + price after change)/2] = 1 / [(10+11)/2] = 9.52%
% change in quantity = (change in quantity) / [ (original quantity + quantity after change)/2] = 40 / [ (1000 +1040) /2 ] = 3.92%
So, cross price elasticity = 3.92% / 9.52% = 0.412.
incurred $10,000 of portfolio income. Its corporate trustee paid fiduciary fees of $1,000 therefrom, and also paid $1,000 in premiums for a life insurance policy on Marcia, the grantor of the trust. How much gross income does Marcia include with respect to these trust activities
Answer:
$1000
Explanation:
Portfolio income = $10,000
Fiduciary fees = $1,000
premiums paid for life insurance on Marcia = $1000
Fiduciary fees are fees charged by trustees and executors for services that they rendered
Therefore The amount of gross income Marcia will include being the grantor of the trust = $1000 ( 10% of portfolio income )
Freedom Co. purchased a new machine on July 2, 2019, at a total installed cost of $49,000. The machine has an estimated life of five years and an estimated salvage value of $6,600. Required: Calculate the depreciation expense for each year of the asset's life using: Straight-line depreciation. Double-declining-balance depreciation. How much depreciation expense should be recorded by Freedom Co. for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, under each method
Answer:. See explanation
Explanation:
1. The depreciation under the straight line method will be calculated as:
= ( cost - salvage value)/no of years
= (49000 - 6600)/5
= $42400/5
= $8480 per year
2. Using the Double-declining-balance depreciation, the depreciation will be calculated thus:
Double declining rate = 8480/42400 × 2 = 40%
Yr 1: beginning book value = $49000
Depreciation rate = 40%
Depreciation = $49000 × 0.4 = $19600
Ending book value = $29400
Yr 2: beginning book value = $29400
Depreciation rate = 40%
Depreciation = $29400 × 0.4 = $11760
Ending book value = $17640
Yr3: beginning book value = $17640
Depreciation rate = 40%
Depreciation = $17640 × 0.4 = $7056
Ending book value = $10584
Yr4: beginning book value = $10584
Depreciation rate = 40%
Depreciation = $3884 Savage value
Ending book value = $6700
A machine operates with the following production cycle: 34 minutes of setup, 70 minutes of production. While in production, the machine produces 3 parts per minute. What is the capacity of the machine in parts per minute
Answer:
The capacity of the machine is 3 parts per minunte
Explanation:
First calculate the total time
Total time = Setup time + Production time
Total time = 34 minutes + 70 minutes
Total time = 104 minutes
Calculate the total units
Total Units = Production per minute x Total Time
Total Units = 3 parts per minutes x 104 minutes
Total Units = 312 parts
Now calculate the parts per minute
Parts per minute = Total Units / Total Time
Parts per minute = 312 parts / 104 minutes
Parts per minute = 3 parts per minunte
In order to present an accurate picture of the financial health of his company, Bob reported all of the expenses that had been incurred, even if they had not been paid yet. Bob is practicing the __________ principle.

a.) matching
Explanation:
Matching principle is the accounting principle in which the expenses incurred should be recorded at the same period when the revenues are earned. Also the business incurred the expenses in order to earn the revenues
So as per the given situation since Bob recognized the expenses but it is not paid so here he is using the matching principle
Therefore the option a is correct
Determine the promotional price of each item at each store. Item Original Price Discount (Dollars) $15.00 Off 40% Off (Dollars) (Dollars) A music box$75 $ $ A faux Ming vase$60.00 $ $ Suppose a friend of yours wants to buy a crystal candlestick. You remember seeing this item at both Annie's Attic and Betty's Breakables, but you do not remember the price. What advice should you give your friend in this situation
Answer:
Go to Betty breakables when the price of the crystal candle is > $37.5
Explanation:
Annie's attic offers $15 off any purchase
Betty breakables offers 40% off any purchase
For both stores
Music box = $75 ( non discounted price )
Faux Ming vase = $60 ( non discounted price )
Discounted prices for Music box
For Annie's attic = 75 - 15 = $60
For Betty breakables = 75 - ( 40% * 75 ) = $45
Discounted prices for Faux Ming vase
For Annie attic = 60 - 15 = $45
For Betty breakables = 60 - ( 40% *60 ) = $36
lets assume the price of the Crystal candle to be x
we will buy from betty breakables If 40% of x > $15 discount offered by Annie's
40/ 100 * x > 15
x > 100/40 * 15
x > 37.5
Go to Betty breakables when the price of the crystal candle is > $37.5

Explanation:
Here is the complete question
Simone founded her company using $200,000 of her own money, issuing herself 200,000 shares of stock. An angel investor bought an additional 100,000 shares for $150,000. She now sells another 500,000 shares of stock to a venture capitalist for $1.5 million. What is the post-money valuation of the company?
A) $1,200,000
B) $1,320,000
C) $2,400,000
D) $3,600,000
company's value = value per share x total shares
Value per share = total purchasing price / total shares sold
$1.5 million / 500,0000 = $3
Total shares = 500,000 + 200,000 + 100,000 = 800,000
company's value = 800,000 x $3 = $2,400,000

2) Excellent Mugs Inc. produced 1,600,000 units in 2017 at a units of output per dollar of input cost was $0.09. Its cost of input at 2017 prices that would have been used in 2016 was $20,000,000. How much did the total factor productivity (TFP) increase as a result of 2017 operations
Answer:
the total factor productivity (TFP) increase as a result of 2017 operations is 12.5%
Explanation:
The computation of the total factor productivity (TFP) increase as a result of 2017 operations is given below;
The Unit produced in 2016 is
= $20,000,000 x $0.09
= 1,800,000
Now
Total factor productivity increase for the year 2017 is
= (1,800,000 - 1,600,000) ÷ 1,600,000
= 12.5%
Hence, the total factor productivity (TFP) increase as a result of 2017 operations is 12.5%

Anthony Finley wishes to become a millionaire. His money market fund has a balance of $287,270 and has a guaranteed interest rate of 10%. How many years must Anthony leave that balance in the fund in order to get his desired $1,200,000
Answer:
15 years
Explanation:
The target accumulated future amount is the future value of the initial investment(present value), hence, using the future value formula provided below we can determine the investment time horizon in years required to accumulate the target amount:
FV=PV*(1+r)^n
FV=$1,200,000
PV=$287,270
r=10%
n=investment period in years=unknown
$1,200,000=$287,270*(1+10%)^n
$1,200,000/$287,270=(1+10%)^n
$1,200,000/$287,270=(1.10)^n
take log of both sides
ln($1,200,000/$287,270)=n ln(1.10)
n=ln($1,200,000/$287,270)/ln(1.10)
n=15.00years

Explanation:
An entrepreneur founded his company using $250,000 of his own money, issuing himself 200,000 shares of stock. An angel investor bought an additional 100,000 shares for $200,000. The entrepreneur now sells another 400,000 shares of stock to a venture capitalist for$2 million. What is the post-money valuation of the company?
Answer:
$3,500,000
Explanation:
the total number of shares
= 200000 + 100000 + 400000
= 700000 shares
value of 400000 shares = 2 million dollars
such that 1 share = 2 million/400000
= 5
total value of the shares = 5 * 700000
= $3,500,000
therefore we conclude that the post money valuation of this company is $3,500,000

$1,000 par value bond pays interest of $35 each quarter and will mature in 10 years. If your nominal annual required rate of return is 12 percent with quarterly compounding, how much should you be willing to pay for this bond
Answer:
$1,115.58
Explanation:
Calculation to determine how much should you be willing to pay for this bond
Using this formula
Bond Price= cupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]
Where,
Par value= $1,000
Cupon= $35
Time= 10*4= 40 quarters
Rate= 0.12/4= 0.03
Let plug in the formula
Bond Price= 35*{[1 - (1.03^-40)] / 0.03} + [1,000/(1.03^40)]
Bond Price= 809.02 + 306.56
Bond Price= $1,115.58
Therefore how much should you be willing to pay for this bond is $1,115.58
Throughout the year an auto parts warehouse places several orders for a high-volume automobile air filter. The demand for this air filter is very stable (flat) and the lead time from the supplier is very reliable (no variation), consequently the warehouse holds virtually no safety stock for this item. When placing orders for this air filter the warehouse uses an order quantity of 170 units and pays an annual holding cost of $2.00 per unit per year.
How much will the warehouse pay in total annual holding costs for this air filter? (Display your answer to the nearest whole number.)
Answer: $170
Explanation:
The amount that the warehouse will pay in total annual holding costs for this air filter will be calculated thus:
Order quantity(Q) = 170 units
Holding cost(H) = $2.00 per unit per year
Total annual holding cost will be:
= (Order quantity/2) × Holding cost
= (170/2) × 2.00

A deposit of $90 is placed into a college fund at the beginning of every week for 5 years. The fund earns 3% annual interest, compounded weekly, and paid at the end of the week. How much is in the account right after the last deposit
Answer:
$25,249.50
Explanation:
Deposit at the beginning of every 6 month (A) = 90
Time period (t) = 5
n = 52
Rate (r) = 3% = 0.03
So, the net amount in the account right after the last deposit is as follows:
= A * [(1+r/n)^(n*t) - 1 / r/n] * (1 + r/n)
= 90 * [(1+0.03/52)^(52*5) - 1 / 0.03/52] * (1 + 0.03/52)
= 90 * [(1.16178399147 - 1 / 0.000577] * (1+0.000577)
= 90 * 280.3882 * 1.000577
= 25249.498559226
= $25,249.50
Answer:
Explanation:
The value of the initial deposit is $90, so a1=90. A total of 260 weekly deposits are made in the 5 years, so n=260. To find r, divide the annual interest rate by 52 to find the weekly interest rate and add 1 to represent the new weekly deposit.
r=1+0.0352=1.00057692308
Substitute a1=90, n=260, and r=1.00057692308 into the formula for the sum of the first n terms of a geometric series and simplify to find the value of the annuity.
S260= 90(1−1.00057692308260) / 1−1.00057692308 ≈25238.31
Therefore, to the nearest dollar, the account has $25,238 after the last deposit is made.

7. Liqin fixes up old cars and sells them to supplement his retirement income. Liqin came across a beat-up 1955 Corvette that she is considering rebuilding and selling. She estimates a 0.2 probability that she will gain 15% on the deal, a 0.2 probability that she will gain 10%, and a 0.6 probability that she will gain 5%. Liqin's expected return for fixing up and selling the Corvette is ____%. a. 8 b. 11 c. 20 d. 30
Answer:
a. 8%
Explanation:
Expected Return = [(Return*Probability)+(Return*Probability)+(Return*Probability) * 100%]
Expected Return = [{(15%*0.2)+(10%*0.2)+(5%*0.6)} * 100]%
Expected Return = [{(0.15*0.2)+(0.1*0.2)+(0.05*0.6)} * 100]%
Expected Return = [{0.03+0.02+0.03} * 100]%
Expected Return = [{0.08 * 100}]%
Expected Return = 8%
So, Liqin's expected return for fixing up and selling the Corvette is 8%.
Shawnee Hospital installs a new parking lot. The paving cost $30,000 and the lights to illuminate the new parking area cost $15,000. Which of the following statements is true with respect to these additions?
a. $30,000 should be debited to the Land account.
b. $15,000 should be debited to Land Improvements.
c. $45,000 should be debited to the Land account.
d. $45,000 should be debited to Land Improvements.
Answer: d. $45,000 should be debited to Land Improvements.
Explanation:
Land improvements records any moderation to land asset that is expected to add to its value and lasts for more than a year.
The paving and lighting of the parking area will add value to the area and will last longer than a year so both should go to the Land improvement account. As this account is an asset account, it will be debited when increased:
= 30,000 + 15,000
= $45,000
