Answer: $2,673
Explanation:
The amounts to be paid are constant so this is an annuity. The present value will therefore be the present value of an annuity.
Present value of annuity = Annuity * Present value interest factor of annuity, 3 periods, 6%
= 1,000 * 2.6730
= $2,673
A company uses the weighted average method for inventory costing. During a period, Department B finished and transferred 62,000 units to Department C. Also in Department B during the period, 16,000 units were started but brought only to a stage of being 60% completed. The number of equivalent units produced by Department B during the period was:_____.a. 60,000 units.
b. 55,000 units.
c. 62,500 units.
d. 67,500 units.
e. 47,500 units.
Answer:
Total Equivalent units of production= 71,600 units
Explanation:
The weighted average method blends the costs and units of the previous period with the costs and units of the current period.
Units completed in the period + Equivalent units in ending inventory WIP (units*%completion) = Equivalent units of production
Equivalent units of production:
Units completed in the period= 62,000
Equivalent units in ending inventory WIP= (16,000*0.6)= 9,600
Total Equivalent units of production= 71,600 units
Suppose a stock had an initial price of $56 per share, paid a dividend of $1.60 per share during the year, and had an ending share price of $66. Compute the percentage total return. (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer: 20.71%
Explanation:
The percentage total return will be calculated as follows:
= (Ending price + Dividend - Initial price) / Initial price
= ($66 + $1.60 - $56) / $56
= $11.60 / $56
= 0.2071
= 20.71%
Therefore, the percentage total return is 20.71%
Along any downward sloping straight-line demand curve: Group of answer choices both the price elasticity and slope are constant. both the price elasticity and slope vary. the price elasticity varies, but the slope is constant. the slope varies, but the price elasticity is constant.
Answer:
the price elasticity varies, but the slope is constant
Explanation:
The demand curve is a curve that shows the relationship between price and quantity demanded. The demand curve is negatively sloped because the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded. This is in line with the law of demand.
According to the law of demand, the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.
At the midpoint of the demand curve, demand is usually unit elastic. Above the midpoint of the demand curve, demand is elastic and blow the midpoint, demand is inelastic
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
Price elasticity of demand = midpoint change in quantity demanded / midpoint change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.
Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases
Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.

The price elasticity of demand for a popular sporting event is 1.5. If the price of a ticket to this event increases by 10%, the quantity of tickets demanded will decrease by
Answer: Quantity demanded will decrease by 15%
Explanation:
The price elasticity of demand shows how much the quantity demanded of a good or service will change in response to a change in the price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = Percentage change in quantity / Percentage change in price
1.5 = % change in quantity demanded / 10%
% change in quantity demanded = 1.5 * 10%
% change in quantity demanded = 15%
Quantity demanded will decrease by 15%

Suppose that the airline industry is in long-run equilibrium when the price of gasoline increases, raising the cost of operating airplanes. In the long run, the number of airlines in business should:________a. remain constant with lower profits.b. increase.c. decrease.d. remain constant with constant profits.
Answer: c. decrease.
Explanation:
If the cost of operating airplanes increases on account of gasoline prices rising, it means that running an airline service would be more expensive.
In the long-run, there is zero economic profit as companies keep entering and exiting the market. If costs increase as they have done here, there will be an economic loss. Several firms will therefore exit in order to avoid these costs which would lead to the number of airlines decreasing.
When they decrease, prices will then go up till the economic profit is zero once more.

Tuscany Company estimated the following costs at the beginning of a particular year: Overhead $5,340,000 Direct labor cost $890,000 Tuscany uses normal costing and applies overhead on the basis of direct labor cost. (Direct labor cost equals total direct labor hours worked multiplied by the wage rate.) The direct labor cost was $50,000 for the month of January. Determine the overhead applied for the month of January.
Answer: $300,000
Explanation:
As overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor cost, the overhead rate for the period is:
= Overhead / Direct labor cost * 100%
= 5,340,000 / 890,000 * 100%
= 600%
If direct labor cost is $50,000 then overhead applied will be:
= Direct labor cost * Overhead rate
= 50,000 * 600%
= $300,000
Two towns, each with three members, are deciding whether to put on a fireworks display to celebrate the New Year. Fireworks cost $360. In each town, some people enjoy fireworks more than others. In the town of Bayport, each of the residents values the public good as follows:
Resident Value (Dollars)
Musashi 50
Rina 100
Sean 300
he total benefit of the fireworks display to the town of Bayport is $: ___________
Answer:
$450
Explanation:
The benefit an individual derives from an activity can be described as the total satisfaction or utility that individual derives from carrying out a particular activity. It is the value an individual derives from a particular activity
Benefit can be measured in dollars or in utils
the higher the value of the dollar or util, the higher the benefit the consumer derives from an activity
A rational person would weigh the cost of an activity to the benefit that would be derived from the activity. The individual would carry out the activity only if benefit outweigh the cost.
For example, in this question, the total benefit of fireworks display is 450. this is greater than the cost. So, the town would carry out the firework display
Total benefit is the sum of individual value individuals would derive from an activity.
total benefit = $50 + $100 + $300 = $450

Klingon Widgets, Inc., purchased new cloaking machinery four years ago for $8 million. The machinery can be sold to the Romulans today for $7.3 million. Klingonâs current balance sheet shows net fixed assets of $6 million, current liabilities of $760,000, and net working capital of $219,000. If all the current assets were liquidated today, the company would receive $1.01 million cash.
1. What is the book value of Klingonâs total assets today? (Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567.)
2. What is the sum of net working capital and the market value of fixed assets? (Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567.)
Answer:
Net working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities
$219,000 = Current assets - $760,000
Current assets = $219,000 + $760,000
Current assets = $979,000
1. Total assets = Current assets + Net fixed assets
Total assets = $979,000 + $6,000,000
Total assets = $6,979,000
So, the book value of Klingonâs total assets today is $6,979,000.
2. Sum of net working capital and the market value of fixed assets:
= Market value of current assets + Market value of fixed assets
= $1,010,000 + $7,300,000
= $8,310,000
