The language of price controls
Suppose that, in a competitive market without government regulations, the equilibrium price of milk is $2.50 per gallon.
Complete the following table by indicating whether each of the statements is an example of a price ceiling or a price floor and whether it is binding or non-binding.
Statement Price Control Binding or Not
The government prohibits grocery stores from selling
milk for more than $2.30 per gallon.
The government has instituted a legal minimum price
of $2.30 per gallon for milk.
Due to new regulations, grocery stores that would like
to pay better wages in order to hire more workers are
prohibited from doing so.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Price ceiling binding

price floor non binding

price ceiling binding

Explanation:

A price floor is when the government or an agency of the government sets the minimum price of a product. A price floor is binding if it is set above equilibrium price.

The minimum price is $2.30 which is less than the equilibrium price of $2.50. Thus, its a non binding price floor

Price ceiling is when the government or an agency of the government sets the maximum price for a product. It is binding when it is set below equilibrium price.

Effects of a binding price ceiling

1. It leads to shortages

2. it leads to the development of black markets

3. it prevents producers from raising price beyond a certain price

4. It lowers the price consumers pay for a product. This increases consumer surplus

the maximum price is 2.30 which is less than the equilibrium price of $2.50. Thus, its a binding price ceiling

If a company spends $80 million to build facility space sufficient to hold 5 million pairs of footwear-making equipment at a site in Latin America, then the company's annual depreciation costs for this facility space will be

Answers

Answer: $8,000,000

Explanation:

From the question given, the cost of the building facility is $80 million. Also, it should be noted that the default rate for depreciation is given as 10%, therefore, the company's annual depreciation costs for this facility space will be:

= Depreciation rate × Cost of building

= 10% × $80,000,000

= 0.1 × $80,000,000

= $8,000,000

Firm A has a 21 percent marginal tax rate, and Firm Z has a 28 percent marginal tax rate. Firm A owns a controlling interest in Firm Z. The owners of Firm A decide to incur a $9,500 deductible expense that will benefit both firms.

Required:
Compute the after-tax cost of the expense assuming that:
a. Firm A incurs the expense
b. Firm Z incurs the expense

Answers

Answer:

a. $7,505

b.$6,840

Explanation:

a. Computation for the after-tax cost of the expense assuming that Firm A incurs the expense

Using this formula

After-tax cost = Deductible Expense - (Firm A Marginal tax rate* Deductible Expense)

Let plug in the formula

After-tax cost = ($9,500 - ($21%*9500)

After-tax cost = ($9,500 - $1,995)

After-tax cost=$7,505

Therefore the after-tax cost of the expense assuming that Firm A incurs the expense is $7,505

B. Computation for the after-tax cost of the expense assuming that Firm Z incurs the expense

Using this formula

After-tax cost = Deductible Expense - (Firm Z Marginal tax rate*Deductible Expense)

Let plug in the formula

After-tax cost =$9,500 -(28%*$9500)

After-tax cost =($9,500 - $2,660 )

After-tax cost=$6,840

Therefore the after-tax cost of the expense assuming that Firm Z incurs the expense is $6,840

Your grandfather put some money in an account for you on the day you were born. You are now years old and are allowed to withdraw the money for the first time. The account currently has in it and pays an interest rate.

Required:
a. How much money would be in the account if you left the money there until your twenty-fifth birthday?
b. What if you left the money until your sixty-fifth birthday?
c. How much money did your grandfather originally put in the account?

Answers

Answer:

Missing word "You are now 18 years old and are allowed to withdraw the money for the first time. The account currently has $3996 in it and pays an 8% interest rate."

a.  At 18 years, future value of current amount (compounded for another 7 years at 8%)

= $3,996 * (1.08)^7

= $3,996 * 1.7138

= $6,848.34

b. At age 65, future value of this amount (compounded for another 40 years at 8%)

= $6,848.44 * (1.08)^40

= $6,848.44 * 21.7245

= $148,779.93

c. Future Value = Present Value * (1 + Interest Rate)^n

So, let initial the money deposited be represented by Y

=> $3,996 = Y * (1.08)^18

=> $3,996 = Y * 3.996

Y = $3,996 / 3.996

Y = $1,000

Concord Company has recently tried to improve its analysis for its manufacturing process. Units started into production equaled 18900 and ending work in process equaled 1000 units. Concord had no beginning work in process inventory. Conversion costs are applied uniformly throughout production, and all materials are applied at the beginning of the process. How much is the materials cost per unit if ending work in process was 30% complete and total materials costs equaled $86940

Answers

Answer:

the material cost per unit is $4.60 per unit

Explanation:

The computation of the material cost per unit is shown below:

= Total material cost ÷ equivalent units of material

= $86,940 ÷ (18,900 - 1,000) × 100% + 1,000 × 100%

= $86,940 ÷ (17,900 + 1,000)

= $86,940 ÷ 18,900

= $4.60 per unit

Hence, the material cost per unit is $4.60 per unit

g Find the monthly payment and estimate the remaining balance (to the nearest dollar). Assume interest is on the unpaid balance. 5-year car loan for $9700 at 5%; remaining balance after 4 years.

Answers

Answer:

Monthly payment $102.88

Outstanding balance after year 4 $1,201.76

Explanation:

First and foremost, the car loan amount of $9,700 is the present value of all monthly payments for 5 years as shown below:

PV=monthly payment*(1-(1+r)^-n/r

PV=car loan amount=$9,700

monthly payment=unknown

r=monthly interest rate=5%/12=0.004166667

n=number of monthly payments in 5 years=5*12=60

$9700=monthly payment*(1-(1+0.004166667)^-120/0.004166667

$9700=monthly payment*(1-(1.004166667)^-120/0.004166667

$9700=monthly payment*(1-0.607161016 )/0.004166667

$9700=monthly payment*0.392838984 /0.004166667

$9700=monthly payment*94.28134862

monthly payment=$9700/94.28134862

monthly payment=$102.88  

The outstanding balance after year 4 is the present value of monthly payments for the remaining 1 year(12 months)

PV=$102.88*(1-(1+0.004166667)^-12/0.004166667

PV=$102.88*(1-(1.004166667)^-12/0.004166667

PV=$102.88*(1-0.951328238 )/0.004166667

PV=$102.88*0.048671762 /0.004166667

PV=$1,201.76

How long will it take to achieve payback on the initial $2,000,000 TQM investment, rounded to the nearest

Answers

Answer:

the payback period is 14 months

Explanation:

The computation of the payback period is shown below:

Profit is

= $2,000,000 - $1,669,426

= $330,574

Now payback period is

= 1 + $330,574 ÷ $1,669,426

= 1 +0.198 years

= 1.198 years

= 14.37 months

= 14 months

Hence, the payback period is 14 months

The current asset section of the Excalibur Tire Company’s balance sheet consists of cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable, and inventory. The December 31, 2021, balance sheet revealed the following:

Inventories $840,000
Total assets $2,800,000
Current ratio 2.25
Acid-test ratio 1.2
Debt to equity ratio 1.8

Determine the following 2021 balance sheet items:

a. Current assets
b. Shareholders' equity
c. Noncurrent assets
d. Long-term liabilities

Answers

Answer:

a. Current assets = $1,800,000

b. Shareholders' equity = $1,000,000

c. Noncurrent assets = $1,000,000

d. Long-term liabilities = $1,000,000

Explanation:

a. Current assets

Current liabilities = Inventories / (Current ratio - Acid-test ratio) = $840,000 / (2.25 - 1.2) = $800,000

Since Current assets / Current liabilities = 2.25 = Current ratio, therefore, we have:

Current assets = Current ratio * Current liabilities = 2.25 * $800,000 = $1,800,000

b. Shareholders' equity

Debt to equity ratio = Total liabilities / Shareholders' equity = 1.8

Total liabilities = (1.8 * Shareholders' equity)

Total assets = $2,800,000

Total assets = Total liabilities + Shareholders' equity ………….. (1)

Substituting all the relevant values into equation (1) and solve for Shareholders' equity, we have:

$2,800,000 = (1.8 * Shareholders' equity) + Shareholders' equity

$2,800,000 = (1.8 + 1) * Shareholders' equity

$2,800,000 = 2.8 * Shareholders' equity

Shareholders' equity = $2,800,000 / 2.8 = $1,000,000

c. Noncurrent assets

Noncurrent assets = Total assets - Current assets = $2,800,000 - $1,800,000 = $1,000,000

d. Long-term liabilities

Long-term liabilities = Total assets -  Current liabilities - Shareholders' equity = $2,800,000 - $800,000 - $1,000,000 = $1,000,000

The country of Bolivia had a Gross Domestic Product of $79 billion in 2016 and a population of 11 million people, the GDP per capita would be ________.

Answers

Answer:

The GDP per capita of country of Bolivia would be $7,181.82.

Explanation:

GDP Per capita refers to a measure that calculates a country's economic output per person by dividing its GDP by its population.

Therefore, we have:

GDP per capita = GDP / Population = $79 billion / 11 million = $79,000,000,000 / $11,000,000 = $7,181.82

Therefore, the GDP per capita of country of Bolivia would be $7,181.82.

Faughn Corporation has provided the following data concerning manufacturing overhead for July:
Actual manufacturing overhead incurred $ 79,000
Manufacturing overhead applied to Work in Process $ 69,000
The company's Cost of Goods Sold was $243,000 prior to closing out its Manufacturing Overhead account. The company closes out its Manufacturing Overhead account to Cost of Goods Sold. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Manufacturing overhead was underapplied by $10,000; Cost of Goods Sold after closing out the Manufacturing Overhead account is $233,000
B. Manufacturing overhead was overapplied by $10,000; Cost of Goods Sold after closing out the Manufacturing Overhead account is $233,000
C. Manufacturing overhead was overapplied by $10,000; Cost of Goods Sold after closing out the Manufacturing Overhead account is $253,000
D. Manufacturing overhead was underapplied by $10,000; Cost of Goods Sold after closing out the Manufacturing Overhead account is $253,000

Answers

Answer: D. Manufacturing overhead was underapplied by $10,000; Cost of Goods Sold after closing out the Manufacturing Overhead account is $253,000

Explanation:

The Manufacturing overhead applied is less than the actual manufacturing overhead incurred by:

= 79,000 - 69,000

= $10,000

Manufacturing overhead is therefore underapplied as the amount applied is too low to cover the amount incurred.

The Cost of Goods sold after closing out is:

= Cost of goods sold before closing out + Underapplied manufacturing overhead

= 243,000 + 10,000

= $253,000

Answers

Answer:

$100,000

Explanation:

The breakeven sales revenue is the annual fixed cost divided by the contribution margin ratio of the product, which is the amount of sales revenue that the Bialy company needs to achieve in order to make a zero profit.

operating income=sales revenue-variable cost-fixed cost

operating income=$12,000

sales revenue=$120,0000

variable cost=$48,000

fixed cost=unknown

$12,000=$120,000-$48,000-fixed cost

fixed cost=$120,000-$48,000-$12,000

fixed cost=$60,000

total contribution=sales revenue-variable cost

total contribution=$120,000-$48,000

total contribution=$72,000

contribution margin ratio=total contribution margin/sales revenue

contribution margin ratio=$72,000/$120,000

contribution margin ratio=60%

breakeven sales revenue=$60,000/60%

breakeven sales revenue=$100,000

Answers

Answer: Theoretical velocity = 5 units per hour.

Actual velocity = 4 units per hour.

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the theoretical velocity will be:

Firstly, we'll calculate the theoretical cycle time which will be:

= (50,000 hours x 60 minutes per hour) / 250,000 units

= 12 minutes per unit

Actual cycle time will be:

= (50,000 hours x 60 minutes per hour) / 200,000 units

= 15 minutes per unit

The theoretical velocity:

= 60 minutes / 12 minutes

= 5 units per hour.

2. The e actual velocity in units per hour:

= 60 minutes per hour / 15 minutes per unit

= 4 units per hour

Answer:

Job-Order Costing versus Process Costing

Types of businesses using job order costing:

a. Hospital services

b. Custom cabinet making

e. Airplane manufacturing (e.g., 767s)

h. Custom furniture making

i. Dental services

l. Auto repair

m. Architectural services

n. Landscape design services

Types of businesses using processing costing:

c. Toy manufacturing

d. Soft-drink bottling

f. Personal computer assembly

g. Furniture making (e.g., computer desks sold at discount stores)

j. Paper manufacturing

k. Nut and bolt manufacturing

o. Flashlight manufacturing

Explanation:

In job order costing, the manufacturer tracks its prime costs to individual products or jobs.  This means that the costs of each job can be computed separately because costs are traced to each job.  Under process costing, the prime costs are tracked to the department, process or batch, and not to individual products or jobs.

Hettrick International Corporation's only product sells for $120.00 per unit and its variable expense is $52.80. The company's monthly fixed expense is $396,480 per month. The unit sales to attain the company's monthly target profit of $13,000 is closest to

Answers

Answer:

Number of units to be sold= 6,093

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $120

Unitary variable cost= $52.8

Fixed cost= $396,480

Desired profit= $13,000

To calculate the number of units to obtain the desired profit, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= (396,480 + 13,000) / (120 - 52.8)

Break-even point in units= 6,093.4 = 6,093

Which of the following is a major difference between a budget constraint and production possibilities frontier?

a. A production possibilities frontier conveys the relative prices of the two goods, whereas a budget constraint accounts for diminishing returns.
b. A production possibilities frontier is usually straight, whereas a budget constraint is typically curved.
c. A budget constraint typically has a constant slope, whereas the slope of a production possibilities frontier is usually different at various points.
d. There is no difference. They convey the same information.

Answers

Answer:

c

Explanation:

The Production possibilities frontiers is a curve that shows the various combination of two goods a company can produce when all its resources are fully utilised.  

The PPF is concave to the origin. This means that as more quantities of a product is produced, the fewer resources it has available to produce another good. As a result, less of the other product would be produced. So, the opportunity cost of producing a good increase as more and more of that good is produced.  

So, the PPF exhibits diminishing return. The slope of the PPF is different at different points. this makes the PPF a curve

the budget constraint is a straight line that shows the various combinations of goods a consumer can consume given her income. the budget constraint is a straight line because the slope is constant at each point on the curve

Also, the slope of the budget constraint is the relative prices of the two goods

Starbucks' capital structure has been restructured from a primarily equity-financed company to a primarily debt-financed company, for example, via share repurchases, in order to leverage returns to investors.A. Yes.B. No.

Answers

Answer:

Starbucks

Starbucks' Capital Structure

Restructured from a primarily equity-financed company to a primarily debt-financed company:

A. Yes.

Explanation:

Starbucks' assets are more than 60% financed by long-term debts, with less than 40% financed by equity.  The advantage of having a higher debt leverage is to optimize the returns to the stockholders.  This is because interest expenses arising from the debts are tax-deductible.  The ROE (return on equity) is always higher for a debt-leveraged firm than an equity-financed firm because more of the net income will be available for distribution to stockholders, given the tax benefits of having more debts.

The FIFO (first-in, first-out) method, allocates costs to the cost of goods sold using the purchase price of the firsts units incorporated into inventory. On the contrary, the ending inventory cost is calculated with the costs of the lasts units incorporated.

Assume that the company sells the number of units equivalent to the first lot. Then, the cost of goods sold will be $20; and the ending inventory $40 (15+25).

Chicotti Company has 6,000 units in beginning work in process, 30% complete as to conversion costs, 75,000 units transferred out to finished goods, and 2,000 units in ending work in process 20% complete as to conversion costs. The beginning and ending inventory is fully complete as to materials costs. How much are equivalent units for materials if the FIFO method is used

Answers

Answer:

71,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine How much are equivalent units for materials if the FIFO method is used

Using this formula

Equivalent units for materials=(Units transferred out to Finished goods + Units in ending work in process – Units in beginning work in process)

Let plug in the formula

Equivalent units for materials=75,000 + 2,000 – 6,000

Equivalent units for materials= 71,000

Therefore the equivalent units for materials if the FIFO method is used will be 71,000
