An automatic stabilizer:________
a) increases inflationary pressure during expansions.
b) increases the drop in disposable income during recessions and increases the jump in disposable income during expansions.
c) increases tax revenue relative to government spending throughout the business cycle.
d) decreases tax revenue relative to government spending throughout the business cycle.
e) reduces the drop in disposable income during recessions and reduces the jump in disposable income during expansions.
Answer:
E
Explanation:
Automatic stabilizers are stabilizers that adjust the economy automatically without the intervention of external agents . examples include progressive tax and transfer payments
In an expansion, progressive tax increases the tax paid and this reduces disposable income
In a contraction, tax paid is reduced and this increases disposable income
Automatic stabilizers contrasts with discretionary fiscal policies.
Discretionary fiscal policies are deliberate steps taken by the government to stimulate the economy in order to cause the economy to move to full employment and price stability more quickly than it might otherwise.
Discretionary fiscal policies can either be expansionary or contractionary
Expansionary fiscal policy is when the government increases the money supply in the economy either by increasing spending or cutting taxes.
Contractionary fiscal policies is when the government reduces the money supply in the economy either by reducing spending or increasing taxes
Pharmaceutical companies are sometimes perceived as profiting unfairly from drugs they sell. Suppose that a new law shortens the time during which the manufacturer has exclusive use of the drug formula. Place the events in sequence to illustrate how restricting profits by pharmaceutical companies will affect innovation.
a. Pharmaceutical companies reduce their estimate of the profitability of new drug research.
b. Fewer new drugs are brought to market.
c. Pharmaceutical companies are less willing, to invest in drug development.
Answer:
1. Pharmaceutical companies reduce their estimate of the profitability of new drug research.
2. Pharmaceutical companies are less willing to invest in drug development.
3. Fewer new drugs are brought to market.
Explanation:
Given that the pharmaceutical companies are recognized as making profits in an unfair way by selling drugs. Now there is a new law which shortens the duration of time of the use of the drug formula by the manufacturer.
Thus the events in a sequence order which shows how the restricting profits by the pharmaceutical companies affects the innovation are :
The companies tries to reduce their estimate of profitability of the new drug research.The pharmaceutical research does not want to invest their money in the research and development of the drugs.Only few drugs are put in the market.đối với những sản phẩm thuộc ô ngôi sao trong ma trận BCG thì lời khuyên dành cho nhà quản trị học là nên tiếp tục hi sinh lợi nhuận ngắn hạn để gia tăng thị phần trong tương lại. đúng hay sai giải thích

Explanation:
A company purchased property for $100,000. The property included a building, a parking lot, and land. The building was appraised at $60,000; the land at $46,600, and the parking lot at $18,400. Land should be recorded in the accounting records with an allocated cost of
Answer:
$37,280
Explanation:
We use the appraised values to apportion the Purchase Cost of the Property to determine the Cost of Land as follows :
Land Cost = $46,600 / $125,000 x $100,000
= $37,280
Land should be recorded in the accounting records with an allocated cost of $37,280.
Please solve for the value of the following bonds and briefly explain your results:
A) A U.S. Government Treasury Strip is quoted in the Wall Street Journal at a market price of 87:19 (87 and 19/32). If the strip is scheduled to mature in May 2025, what is the annual interest rate for this bond?
B) Xenor Corporation introduced a bond in 2001 that offered a coupon rate of 8 1/2%, resulting in coupon payments of $8.50. The bond is scheduled to mature in 2031. If the current going interest rate in the market is 6 3/4%, what is the market price (please calculate the interest and the principal due to get this value) of this bond today?
C) A bond offers a coupon that makes annual payments of $87.50. The bond was originally set to mature in 17 years. A quote for this bond, obtained 15 years after the original issue date, listed the market price as $1,070.00. What is the YTM for this bond?
Answer:
US Treasury Strip Price of the strip, P = $87 and 19/32 = $87.59375 Face Value of the strip = $100 Maturity, N = 5 years (assuming the quoted price is the current price, i.e., in November 2020, the time to maturity in November 2025 will be 5 years
Skyline Florists uses an activity-based costing system to compute the cost of making floral bouquets and delivering the bouquets to its commercial customers. Company personnel who earn $180,000 typically perform both tasks; other firm-wide overhead is expected to total $70,000. These costs are allocated as follows:
Bouquet Production Delivery Other
Wages and salaries 60% 30% 10%
Other overhead 50% 35% 15%
Riverside anticipates making 20,000 bouquets and 4,000 deliveries in the upcoming year. The cost of wages and salaries and other overhead that would be charged to each bouquet made is closest to:
a. $12.50.
b. $7.15.
c. some other amount.
d. $8.75.
e. $13.75.
Answer:
b. $7.15
Explanation:
Cost of wages & salaries per bouquet = [($180,000*60%) + ($70,000*50%)] / 20,000
Cost of wages & salaries per bouquet = ($108,000 + $35,000) / 20,000
Cost of wages & salaries per bouquet = $143,000 / 20,000
Cost of wages & salaries per bouquet = $7.15
So, the cost of wages and salaries and other overhead that would be charged to each bouquet made will be $7.15.

Answer:
the Projected net operating profit after tax (NOPAT) is $10,788
Explanation:
The computation of the Projected net operating profit after tax (NOPAT) is given below:
= Total revenue × (1 + growth rate) × net operating profit margin
= $59,387 × (1 + 0.05) × 17.3%
= $62,356.35 × 17.3%
= $10,788
Hence, the Projected net operating profit after tax (NOPAT) is $10,788
If the efficient market hypothesis is true, price changes are independent and biased. Group of answer choices
Answer:
Price changes are independent but not biased in efficient market hypothesis.
Explanation:
In simple words, the efficient-market hypothesis asserts that asset prices represent all relevant knowledge. Because market rates must only respond to fresh knowledge it is difficult to continuously "beat the market" on something like a risk-adjusted approach.
Thus the given statement is partially true.

Explanation:
Strack Houseware Supplies Inc. has $889 million in total assets. The other side of its balance sheet consists of $142.24 million in current liabilities, $257.81 million in long-term debt, and $488.95 million in common equity. The company has 29,400,000 shares of common stock outstanding, and its stock price is $88 per share. What is Strack's market-to-book ratio
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the above information,
Market value = Common stock outstanding × Stock price
Market value = 29,400,000 × $88
Market value = $2,587,200,000
Common equity = $488.95 million
Then,
Market to book ratio = $2,587,200,000 / $488,095,000
Market to book ratio = 5.30
Therefore, Strack's market to book ratio is 5.30
In a closed economy, saving and investment must be equal, but this is not the case in an open economy. In the following problem, you will explore how saving and investment are connected to the international flow of capital and goods in an economy. Before delving into the relationship between these various components of an economy, you will be asked to recall some relationships between aggregate variables that will be useful in your analysis.
Recall the components that make up GDP. National income (Y) equals total expenditure on the economy's output of goods and services. Thus, where C = consumption, I = investment, G = government purchases, X = exports, M = imports, and NX = net exports:
Y =
Also, national saving is the income of the nation that is left after paying for Therefore, national saving (S) is defined as: S =
Rearranging the previous equation and solving for Y yields Y = . Plugging this into the original equation showing the various components of GDP results in the following relationship:
S =
This is equivalent to S =, since net exports must equal net capital outflow (NCO, also known as net foreign investment).
Now suppose that a country is experiencing a trade surplus. Determine the relationships between the entries in the following table, and enter these relationships using the following symbols: > (greater than), < (less than), or = (equal to).
Answer:
a. Y = C + I + G + NX
b. National saving is the income of the nation that is left after paying for current consumption (C) and government purchases (G).
c. S = Y - C - G
d. Y = S + C + G
e. S = I + NX
f. S = I + NCO
g. Outcomes of a Trade Surplus
Exports > Imports
Net Exports > 0
C + I + G < Y
Saving > Investment
Net Capital Outflow > 0
Explanation:
a. Y = C + I + G + X - M …………………. (1)
If we assumed X is greater than M, we have:
NX = X - M
Substituting NX = X - M into equation (1), we have:
Y = C + I + G + NX
b. Also, national saving is the income of the nation that is left after paying for current consumption (C) and government purchases (G).
c. Therefore, national saving (S) is defined as: S = Y - C - G.
d. Rearranging the previous equation and solving for Y yields Y = S + C + G.
e. Plugging this into the original equation showing the various components of GDP results in the following relationship:
S + C + G = C + I + G + NX
S = C + I + G + NX - C - G
S = I + NX
f. This is equivalent to S = I + NCO, since net exports must equal net capital outflow (NCO, also known as net foreign investment).
g. Now suppose that a country is experiencing a trade surplus. Determine the relationships between the entries in the following table, and enter these relationships using the following symbols: > (greater than), < (less than), or = (equal to).
Note: The omitted table in the question given as follows:
Outcomes of a Trade Surplus
Exports ____ Imports
Net Exports _____ 0
C + I + G _____ Y
Saving ____ Investment
Net Capital Outflow ___ 0
Therefore, the answer is given as follows:
Outcomes of a Trade Surplus
Exports > Imports
Net Exports > 0
C + I + G < Y
Saving > Investment
Net Capital Outflow > 0
Find the next year's net income for XYZ Inc. Next year, the sales grow by 25%. The current sales $300 million, and the current profit margin is 10% and you expect it to remain constant.
Answer: $37.5 million
Explanation:
The next year's net income for XYZ will be calculated as follows:
Current sales = $300 million
Current Profit margin = 10%
Sales Growth rate = 25%
The next year's sales will be:
= Current Year's Sales × (1 + Sales Growth rate)
= $300 million × (1 + 0.25)
= $300 million × 1.25
= $375 million
Next Year's Net Income will then be:
= $375 million × 10%
= $37.5 million
Sheridan, Inc., has issued a three-year bond that pays a coupon rate of 7.0 percent. Coupon payments are made semiannually. Given the market rate of interest of 4.6 percent, what is the market value of the bond
Answer:
$1,066.54
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the market value of the bond
Using this formula
Market value of bond = Coupon payment per period * [1-(1+i)^-n]/i + par value/(1+i)^n
Where,
i = interest rate per period
n = number of periods
Let plug in the formula
Market value of bond = 7%/2 * [1-(1+0.046/2)^-3*2]/(0.046/2) + 1000/(1+0.046/2)^3.2
Market value of bond = 3.5% * [1-(1+0.023)^-6]/(0.023) + 1000/(1+0.023)^6
Market value of bond=$1,066.54
Therefore the market value of the bond will be $1,066.54
All of the following questions are open-ended problems. You must compute an answer for every problem. For percentage answers, calculate your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. For example, you would record ROA = .1263974 as 12.64% (note that on D2L you will enter 12.64 without the percent sign). For dollar answers, round to the nearest dollar. For example, you would record $12,345.83943 as $12,346 (note that on D2L you will enter 12346 without a comma and without the dollar sign).13. Felton Farm Supplies, Inc. has an ROA (return on assets) of 12 percent, total assets of $1,000,000 and a net profit margin of 4.25 percent. What are Felton Farm Supplies annual sales?14. Krisle and Kringle's debt ratio = 72.0%. What is the company’s debt-to-equity ratio? (Enter answer as a ratio rounded to 2 decimal places – that is, do not convert to a percent; for example, enter 80/35 = 2.2857 as 2.29).15. Philips, Inc has a debt ratio of 42.5% and ROE = 15%. What is Phillips’ ROA? (Enter answer as a percent).16. A firm has an ROA of 16% and a debt/equity ratio of 1.45. The firm's ROE is _________. (Enter answer as a percent).17. Assume that XYZ, Inc. has:Debt ratio = 70% Net profit margin = 15% Return on assets (ROA) = 7.5% Find XYZ’s Total Asset Turnover ratio. (Enter answer as a ratio – that is, do not convert to a percent).
Solution :
13. Net income = total assets x ROA
= $ 1,000,000 x 12%
= $ 120,000
Net Income for company is $120,000.
Net Profit margin = 4.25%
Total sales = net income / net profit margin
= $ 120,000 / 4.25%
= $ 2,823,529
Total sales for company is $ 2,823,529
14. Debt ratio = 72%
So weight of debt = 72%
Weight of equity = 1 - 72%
= 28%
Debt equity ratio [tex]$=\frac{72 \%}{28 \%}$[/tex]
= 2.57
Debt equity ratio is 2.57
15. Debt ratio = 42.50%
So, weight of debt = 42.50%
Weight of equity = 1 - 42.50%
= 57.50%
Weight of equity is 57.50%.
Return on equity = 15%.
Return on assets = 57.50% × 15%
= 8.625%
Return on assets is 8.625%.
16.
Debt Equity ratio = 1.45
Weight of debt = 59.18%
Weight of equity = 40.82%
Return on assets = 16%
Return on equity = 16% / 40.82%
= 39.20%
Return on equity is 39.20%.
17.
Total Assets turnover = Sales / Total Assets
= (Net Income / Total Assets) / (Net Income / Sales)
= ROA / Net Profit margin
= 7.50% / 15%
= 0.50
Total Assets turnover is 0.50.
If a bank has a required reserve ratio of 25 percent and there is $10,000 in deposits, what is the maximum amount of loans that can be made by this bank
Answer: $40,000
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the maximum amount of loans that can be made by this bank will be calculated as:
= Deposit × 1/Reserve ratio
= $10000 × 1/25%
= $10000 × 1/0.25
= $10000 × 4
= $40000
Therefore, the maximum increase in money supply is $40000.
A corporate bond with a 6% coupon (paid semiannually) has a yield to maturity of 7.5%. The bond matures in 20 years but is callable at $1050 in ten years. The maturity value is par. Calculate the bond’s yield to call. % terms w/o $ sign. (HINT: Find the current price and then solve for YTC.)
Answer:
Yield to Call = 8.66%
Explanation:
The computation of the yield to call is shown below:
First determine Current Price of Bond,
PV = [FV = 1,000, PMT = 30, N = 40, I = 0.075 ÷2]
PV = $845.87
Callable Price = $1,050
Now
Calculating Yield to Call,
I = [PV = -845.87, FV = 1,050, N = 20, PMT = 30]
I = 8.66%
Yield to Call = 8.66%
Refer to the following information about the Finishing Department in the Gallagher Factory for the month of June. Gallagher Factory uses the FIFO method of inventory costing.
Beginning Work in Process inventory:
Physical units..... 5000
% complete for materials 70%
% complete for conversion costs 25%
Materials cost from May 7350
Conversion costs from May 3125
Product started:
Physical units 44000
Ending Work in Process inventory:
Physical units 4000
% complete for materials 40%
% complete for conversion costs 10%
Manufacturing costs for June:
Materials 96975
Conversion costs 79470
Compute equivalent units for direct materials for June.
Answer:
the equivalent units for direct material is 43,100 units
Explanation:
The computation of the equivalent units for direct material is shown below:
= Ending work in process units + units started and completed + opening work in process units
= 40% of 4,000 units + (44,000 - 4,000) + 30% of 5,000
= 1,600 units + 40,000 units + 1,500 units
= 43,100 units
hence, the equivalent units for direct material is 43,100 units
When you show property: Ask questions that will sell the home’s specific features. Never show more than 4 homes in one day. Never cancel a scheduled appointment. Be sure to show the prospects at least one home beyond their means to peak their interest.
Answer:
Ask questions that will sell the home's specific features.
Explanation:
Professionals do not state obvious facts about the property they are showing to buyers. Instead, show property by asking questions about features that will interest the buyer. Leave opinions behind. Personal opinions are not meant for the home buyer. Couch questions so that they will get positive responses and help the buyer to make comparisons. For example, this room with its overview of the greenfield will interest the children, isn't it?
A local car dealer advertised a late model full-size pickup truck which it had taken as a trade-in on a new vehicle purchase in the newspaper for $21,000.00. However, a salesman learned of a man who was seeking that particular model of truck and arranged for him to come and look at the truck the next day. In the meantime, another person, having seen the advertisement came to the dealership and offered to pay the advertised price. The salesman refused to sell the truck for $21,000.00 because he believed that the other person would pay at least $22,000.00. As explained in chapters 11 and 12, legally the dealership could do this because an advertisement is not an offer. Ads sure look like offers. Why do you think the law has the doctrine that ads are not offers
Answer:
In his article Is an ad an Offer? Why it's, and Why It Matters, Jay M. Feinman and Stephen R. Brill straightaway state that a billboard is a suggestion. The writers cite the instance of the Hornbook's law that contends that an ad isn't a suggestion. This law argues that "if goods are advertised purchasable at a particular price, it's not a suggestion, and no contract is made by the statement of an intending purchaser". The courts, generally, don't consider ads as offers.
Explanation:
Rather ads are a call for participation in business negotiations. This makes practical sense. Consider: if advertisements were offers, someone who saw a commercial for "Delicious Apples" could say: "I accept your offer to get delicious apples, and if they are not delicious, I'll sue!" nobody would be ready to conduct business or advertise products. Courts and students justify the rule on two principal grounds: a typical advertisement is just too general to be a suggestion and there no limitation on what percentage people may accept by trying to shop for it.
I think this law should be changed since it misleads people and their expectations. By seeing a billboard I'm going for purchasing the merchandise whose rate was also given, the dealer says that he has already sold to somebody else who more. during this example, the salesperson just refused to sell the truck against the advertised price of $21,000 since he had the offer of $22,000 isn't only unethical but against the business norms. Either the law should be changed in this regard or there should be a stop to such misleading advertisements.

Joseline waited until December 12, 2019, to file her 2018 Form 1040 return. She did not request an extension. Her balance due for 2018 is $461. What is her failure to file penalty
Answer: $207.45
Explanation:
The latest date that Josephine should have filed her taxes by was April 15th 2019.
She instead waited till December 12, 2019.
9 partial and full months have passed since that time so her penalty will be for 9 months.
Penalty is 5% of the balance due:
= 461 * 5% * 9
= $207.45

Required: Monson sells 15 units for $20 each on December 15. Assume the periodic inventory system is used. Determine the costs assigned to ending inventory when costs are assigned based on the weighted average method. (Amounts to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign. Round cost per units to 2 decimals.)
Answer:
The costs assigned to ending inventory are $11.33 per unit and $340 total cost.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Trey Monson starts a merchandising business on December 1 and enters into the following three inventory purchases. Also, on December 15, Monson sells 15 units for $20 each.
Purchases on December 7 10 units at $ 6.00 cost
Purchases on December 14 20 units at $12.00 cost
Purchases on December 21 15 units at $14.00 cost
Required: Monson sells 15 units for $20 each on December 15. Assume the periodic inventory system is used. Determine the costs assigned to ending inventory when costs are assigned based on the weighted average method. (Amounts to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign. Round cost per units to 2 decimals.)
The explanation of the answer is no provided as follows:
Periodic inventory refers to an inventory system that is updated on a periodic basis such as monthly, quarterly, or annually.
The weighted average method is a formula that divides the cost of products offered for sale by the number of units available for sales.
Combining these two methods, we have:
Value of Purchases on December 7 = 10 * $6.00 = $60
Value of Purchases on December 14 = 20 * $12.00 = $240
Value of Purchases on December 21 = 15 * $14.00 = $210
Total value of units available for sale = $60 + $240 + $210 = $510
Total units available for sale = 10 + 20 + 15 = 45
Costs assigned to ending inventory per unit = Weighted average cost per unit = Total value of units available for sale / Total units available for sale $510 / 45 = $11.33
Units of ending inventory = Total units available for sale – Number of units sold = 45 - 15 = 30
Total cost of ending inventory = Units of ending inventory * Weighted average cost per unit = $11.33 * 30 = $340
Therefore, the costs assigned to ending inventory are $11.33 per unit and $340 total cost.
A buyer has decided to offer $335,000 for a home that she really likes. The bank will loan her 80% of the purchase price for 30 years at 5% interest. What will be the amount of her principal and interest payment if the requirement is $5.68 per thousand of the loan amount?
Answer:
We have:
Amount of principal = $268,000
Interest payment = $1,522.24
Explanation:
These can be calculated as follows:
Loan principal = Cost of the home * Percentage to borrow = $335,000 * 80% = $268,000
Interest payment = (Loan principal / $1,000) * $5.68 = ($268,000 / $1,000) * $5.68 = 268 * $5.68 = $1,522.24
Therefore, we have:
Amount of principal = $268,000
Interest payment = $1,522.24
In 2010 the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) reported that nonfinancial companies in the United States had around $2 trillion in cash and short-term liquid assets. As the U.S. economy was still struggling, consumer spending remained low, and companies resisted in investing in new projects that would create value for their stakeholders.
As the economy improves, uncertainty in the markets decreases, and companies will start investing in projects. However, the challenge of analyzing and selecting projects that would generate cash flows and returns and add value to the firm would remain.
The assumptions in the analysis about cost of equity and debt—overall and for projects—have a significant impact on the type and the value of investments that a company makes.
According to the Association of Finance Professionals’ report, published in 2011 on current trends in estimating and applying the cost of capital, companies use a discount rate that is usually above or below 1% of the company’s true rate. Using this information and certain inputs from the Fed, Michael Jacobs and Anil Shivdasani estimated that a 1% drop in the cost of capital leads U.S. companies to increase their investment by about $150 million over three years.
Based on your understanding of the concept of cost of capital, which of the following statements are valid?
a. Companies always use the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) as the discount rate to analyze the financial viability of projects.
b. A company’s estimate of cost of capital impacts its application in the analysis of new investments that, consequently, affects the value of the firm and shareholders’ wealth.
c. Investors care about the incremental value addition that new projects are making; they are least concerned with the discount rates that the company uses.
d. Companies incorporate the required rate of return in the cost of capital to compensate investors for the components’ risks.
Answer:
b. A company’s estimate of cost of capital impacts its application in the analysis of new investments that, consequently, affects the value of the firm and shareholders’ wealth. d. Companies incorporate the required rate of return in the cost of capital to compensate investors for the components’ risks.Explanation:
A company's estimate of cost of capital, is serious because it is used in the calculations of the returns from a new investment which is used to calculate the value of the firm and its shareholders. They therefore need to make these estimates as accurate as possible.
Companies also incorporate the required rate of return in the cost of capital so that the investors who provided this capital, can be ensured of a return on their investment because it would be accounted for in analysis of new investments.
Suppose that the price of labor (PL) is $7 while the price of capital (PK) is $10. Also, suppose that the marginal product of labor (MPL) is 20 while the marginal product of capital (MPK) is 30. What is the best advice for a profit-maximizing firm ?
Answer:
The answer is "use more capital, less labor".
Explanation:
labor price [tex](PL) = \$7\\\\[/tex]
Capital price [tex](PK) = \$10\\\\[/tex]
Marginal product of labor: [tex](MPL) = 20\\\\[/tex]
Marginal product of capital: [tex](MPK) = 30\\\\[/tex]
Calculating the ratio of the product marginal labor and labor price:
[tex]= \frac{MPL}{PL} = \frac{20}{7} = 2.86\\\\[/tex]
Calculating the ratio of the product marginal capital and capital price:
[tex]= \frac{MPK}{PK} = \frac{30}{10} = 3\\\\[/tex]
The company maximises profit using the quantity of work and capital that matches the necessary responsibilities.
[tex]\frac{MPL}{PL} = \frac{MPK}{PK}[/tex]
However, in the given case,
[tex]\frac{MPL}{PL} < \frac{MPK}{PK}[/tex]
In this instance, therefore, the business should raise the quantity of capital and cut the quantity of effort.

Market for Goods and Services:
Caroline spends $10 to get her car washed.
Antonio spends $150 to purchase a necklace from Classy's Jewelry Store.
Which of the elements of this scenario represent a flow from a household to a firm?
The $150 Antonio spends to purchase a necklace from Classy's Jewelry Store
The actual economy is more complicated than the one illustrated in the previous circular-flow diagram of a simple economy - false
The circular flow of income represents the flow of economic exchanges between economic agents in the economy. If a household provides the labor factor of production, it is paid and uses the same money to purchase from the same firms that produce goods and services. This is a cycle and actually doesn't get more complex than this in real life, only involves alot more firms or economic agents.
On August 1, Lola Company’s assets are $30,000 and its liabilities are $10,000. On August 4, Lola issues a sustainability report. On August 5, ownership invests $3,000 cash and $7,000 of equipment in Lola. After the investment, what is the amount of equity for Lola?
Answer: $30,000
Explanation:
Before the investment, Equity was:
= Assets - Liabilities
= 30,000 - 10,000
= $20,000
The owner then invested $3,000 and $7,000 therefore making a total of $10,000.
Equity becomes
= 20,000 + 10,000
= $30,000
The equity is $30,000
Lola's company assets are $30,000
The liabilities are $10,000
Equity= $30,000-$10,000
= $20,000
On August 5, ownership invests $3,000 in cash and $7,000 in equipment
= $3,000+$7,000
= $10,000
The amount of equity for Lola is
= $20,000+$10,000
= $30,000

SureLock Manufacturing Co. makes and sells several models of locks. The cost records for the ZForce lock show that manufacturing costs total $19.62 per lock. An analysis of this amount indicates that $11.90 of the total cost has a variable cost behavior pattern, and the remainder is an allocation of fixed manufacturing overhead. The normal selling price of this model is $29.00 per lock. A chain store has offered to buy 14,000 ZForce locks from SureLock at a price of $15.75 each to sell in a market that would not compete with SureLock’s regular business. SureLock has manufacturing capacity available and could make these locks without incurring additional fixed manufacturing overhead.
Required:
a. Calculate the effect on SureLock’s operating income of accepting the order from the chain store.
b. If SureLock’s costs had not been classified by cost behavior pattern, is it likely that a correct special order analysis would have been made? Explain your answer.
c. Identify the key qualitative factors that SureLock managers should consider with respect to this special order decision.
Answer:
a. $53900
Explanation:
a. the effect on surelocks operating income
$15.75 - $11.9
= $3.85*14000 zforce locks
= $53900
the operating income has risen by 53900 dolars
b. the correct special order analysis can only come in if the the actual cost that was made on the special order was stated. If not the decison cannot be tken rightly given that the total cost and the fixed manufacturing cost is higher than that of the special order price for selling. the special order is not going to be accepted given this reason. So a correct special order analysis would not be made.
c. the key qualitative factors are
selling cost for each lock for this special order and also the variable costs.
