Answer:
are added; will decline eventually
Explanation:
the point of diminishing returns sets in when the optimum capacity has been attained. at this level, increasing production by any extra unit would only bring about little or Fall in output.
if we hold the other factors of production constant/fixed while increasing one input, we will get toa stage where more additions of this input by one unit would only bring about decrease in output or cause output to fall.
therefore in summary this law States that as more increments are added, marginal benefit from increments declines eventually.
Suppose your salary in 2016 is $30,000. Assuming an annual inflation rate of 3%, what salary do you need to earn in 2022 in order to have the same purchasing power
Answer:
$35821.5
Explanation:
Using compound formula
A= P( 1+ r/ n)^ nt
A= amount
t= time period
n=Number of years
2016----2022= 6years
Substitute for the values we have
A= $30,000[ 1+ (3/100)/1]^ (6)
A= $35821.5
Hence, salary you need to earn in 2022 in order to have the same purchasing power is $35821.5

Show how International Machines determined the $18,200 quarterly lease payments. 2. Prepare appropriate entries for International Machines to record the lease at its beginning, January 1, 2021, and the second lease payment on April 1, 2021.
Answer:
1. $18,200 per quarter
2. 1-Jan-21
Dr Lease Receivable $138,287
Dr Cost of Goods Sold $94, 000
Cr Inventory of Equipment $94,000
Cr Sales Revenue $138,287
Dr Cash $18,200
Cr Lease Receivable $18,200
1-Apr-21
Dr Cash $18,200
Cr Lease Revenue $1,801
Cr Lease Receivable $16,399
Explanation:
1. Calculation to Show how International Machines determined the $18,200 quarterly lease payments
First step is to find the Present value of annuity at period start
Lease term=n = 2 x 4 quarters
Lease term=n= 8 periods
Fair value of asset = $138,287
Implicit interest rate, i = 6%, quarterly rate = 6%/4 Implicit interest rate= 1.5%
Present value of annuity at period start at 1.5%, 8 periods
Present value of annuity at period start = 7.5982
Now let determine the quarterly payments
Quarterly payments= $138,287/7.5982
Quarterly payments = $18,200 per quarter
Therefore the quarterly lease payments is $18,200
2) Preparation of the appropriate entries for International Machines to record the lease at its beginning, January 1, 2021, and the second lease payment on April 1, 2021.
1-Jan-21
Dr Lease Receivable $138,287
Dr Cost of Goods Sold $94, 000
Cr Inventory of Equipment $94,000
Cr Sales Revenue $138,287
(To record lease at its beginning)
Dr Cash $18,200
Cr Lease Receivable $18,200
(To record lease at its beginning)
1-Apr-21
Dr Cash $18,200
Cr Lease Revenue $1,801
Cr Lease Receivable $16,399
(To record second lease payment)
Calculation of lease revenue as on April 1, 2021
Lease revenue = ($138,287 – $18,200) x 1.5%
Lease revenue= $120,087×1.5%
Lease revenue= $1,801
Lease receivable = $18,200 – $1,801
Lease receivable = $16,399
North Pole Toys needs to decide on their newest product line for Christmas. They narrowed their options to two possibilities: Product A would incur a fixed cost of $3,000 and a variable cost of $6 per unit and sells for $7.50; Product B would incur a fixed cost of $1,200 and a variable cost of $9 per unit and sells for $10.
A. What is the break-even point for each of the two products?
B. What is the point of indifference between the two products?
Answer:
A-1. Product A break-even point = 2,000 units
A.2. Product A break-even point = 1,200 units
B. Point of indifference between the two products = 600 units
Explanation:
A. What is the break-even point for each of the two products?
Break-even point which is the point at which the total cost of production of a product is equal to the total revenue of the product can be calculated using the following formula:
Break-even point = Fixed cost / (Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit) ........ (1)
Using equation (1), we have:
A-1. Product A break-even point = $3,000 / ($7.50 - $6) = 2,000 units
A.2. Product A break-even point = $1,200 / ($10 - $9) = 1,200 units
B. What is the point of indifference between the two products?
Point of indifference between the two products which is the point at which the total costs of the two products are the same can be calculated as follows:
Differential fixed cost = Product A fixed cost - Product B fixed cost = $3,000 - $1,200 = $1,800
Differential variable cost per unit = Product B fixed cost variable cost per unit - Product A variable cost per unit = $9 - $6 = $3
Point of indifference between the two products = Differential fixed cost / Differential variable cost per unit = $1,800 / $3 = 600 units
Note: To obtain any of the two differentials, the lower must be deducted from the higher as done above.
In January of the current year, Dora made a gift of stock to her granddaughter. At the time of the gift, the stock was worth $15,000. Several months later in the same year after the gift, a $500 dividend was declared on the stock and paid to Dora's granddaughter. What amount must Dora's granddaughter include in her gross income for the current year
Answer:
$500
Explanation:
Based on the information given we were told that the DIVIDEND of the amount of $500 which was declared on the stock was paid to Dora's granddaughter Several months later, which means that the amount that Dora's granddaughter must include in her GROSS INCOME for the current year will be the dividend amount of $500 that was paid to Dora's granddaughter.
Therefore the amount that Dora's granddaughter must include in her gross income for the current year is $500

In 1933, U.S. manufacturers, which used to enjoy steady relationships with their foreign distributors and export nearly 30% of their output, realized that their exports had fallen to only 10% of total output. Which of the following is the most likely reason for this decrease in exports?
a. The low quality of U.S. products
b. Retaliatory tariffs by trading partners
c. War between the United States and Mexico
Answer: b. Retaliatory tariffs by trading partners
Explanation:
In the 20s, the United States instituted a series of tariffs on imports that culminated with the Smoot-Hawley tariff of 1930 as they hoped to protect the local industry and to increase government revenue.
Some countries replied with their own tariffs on American exports such that American exports to these countries fell significantly and world trade reached a new low as well.

a. $2,300.
b. $990.
c. $6,500.
d. $690.
e. $1,020 .
2. Using ABC, overhead cost assigned to Job #971 for machine repair is:____.
a. $2,300.
b. $990.
c. $6,500.
d. $690.
e. $1,020.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the allocation rates:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Machine setup= 21,600/540= $40 per setup
Machine repair= 1,260/31,500= $0.04 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate costs to Job 971:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Machine setup= 40*30= $1,200
Machine repair= 0.04*15,000= $600
Irving Corporation makes a product with the following standards for direct labor and variable overhead: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Per Unit Direct labor 0.20 hours $ 34.00 per hour $ 6.80 Variable overhead 0.20 hours $ 7.00 per hour $ 1.40 In November the company's budgeted production was 7,300 units, but the actual production was 7,100 units. The company used 1,490 direct labor-hours to produce this output. The actual variable overhead cost was $9,834. The company applies variable overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The variable overhead rate variance for November is: Multiple Choice $568 U $596 F $596 U $568 F
Answer:
the variable overhead rate variance is $596 favorable
Explanation:
The computation of the variable overhead rate variance is shown below:
= Standard overhead rate × actual direct labor hour - actual overhead
= $7 × 1,490 direct labor hours - $9,834
= $10,430 - $9,834
= $596 favorable
hence, the variable overhead rate variance is $596 favorable
You are considering a project in Honduras that would generate 1.5 million dollars in cash flows per year going forever. The cost of the project is 8 million dollars. The discount rate for the project is 12%. You believe that there is some probability of expropriation prior to the 4th year (after the 3rd cash flow). Which of the following fully describes when this is a good project?
a. This is a good project if the probability of expropriation is larger than 0.33
b. This is a good project if the probability of expropriation is smaller than 0.33
c. This is a good project if the probability of expropriation is smaller than 0.5
d. This is a good project if the probability of expropriation is smaller than 0.66 7.
Answer:
c. This is a good project if the probability of expropriation is smaller than 0.5
Explanation:
initial outlay = $8,000,000
if no expropriation, NPV = -$8,000,000 + $1,500,000/0.12 = $4,500,000
if the risk of expropriation is 0.33:
NPV = $925,211
if the risk of expropriation is 0.5:
NPV = -$425,265
the breakeven risk = 44.6%
The Bell Weather Co. is a new firm in a rapidly growing industry. The company is planning on increasing its annual dividend by 15 percent a year for the next 4 years and then decreasing the growth rate to 6 percent per year. The company just paid its annual dividend in the amount of $2.90 per share. What is the current value of one share of this stock if the required rate of return is 8.40 percent
Answer:
$130.97
Explanation:
The value of the firm can be determined by finding the present value of the dividend payments using the two stage dividend growth model
In the 2 stage dividend growth model, dividend is characterised by a fast growth. After this stage , growth in dividend becomes stable
Present value in the first year = (2.90 x 1.15) / 1.084 = $3.08
Present value in the second year = (2.90 x 1.15²) / 1.084² = $3.26
Present value in the third year = (2.90 x 1.15³) / 1.084³ = $3.46
Present value in the fourth year = (2.90 x [tex]1.15^{4}[/tex]) / [tex]1.084^{4}[/tex] = $3.67
Present value in the second stage = ($3.67 x 1.06) / (0.084 - 0.06) = $162.24
$162.24 / [tex]1.084^{4}[/tex] = $117.50
The value of the stock = sum of present values in the first stage of growth + present value in the second stage of growth
$3.08 + $3.26 + $3.46 + $3.67 + $117.50 = $130.97

Ms. T. Potts, the treasurer of Ideal China, has a problem. The company has just ordered a new kiln for $464,000. Of this sum, $58,000 is described by the supplier as an installation cost. Ms. Potts does not know whether the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will permit the company to treat this cost as a tax-deductible current expense or as a capital investment. In the latter case, the company could depreciate the $58,000 straight-line over 5 years. The tax rate is 30% and the opportunity cost of capital is 5%.
a. What is the present value of the cost of the kiln if the installation cost is treated as a separate current expense?
b. What is the present value of the cost of the kiln if the installation cost is treated as a part of the capital investment?
Answer:
Ideal China
a) The present value of the cost of the kiln if the installation cost is treated as a separate current expense is:
= $318,304.
b) The present value of the cost of the kiln if the installation cost is treated as a part of the capital investment is:
= $363,776.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Present value factor for 5 years at 5% = 0.784
Cost of new kiln = $464,000
Installation cost = $58,000
Present value of the cost of the kiln if the installation cost is treated as a separate current expense = $406,000 * 0.784 = $318,304
Present value of the cost of the kiln if the installation cost is treated as a part of the capital investment = $464,000 * 0.784 = $363,776

(e) Prepare an abbreviated contribution income statement to verify that the solution to requirement (d) will provide the desired after-tax income.
Answer:
Cliff Consulting
a) Annual Break-even point in sales revenue is:
= $800,000
b) Annual margin of safety is:
= $400,000
c) If fixed costs increases by $80,000, the break-even point in sales revenue
= $945,455
d) Dollar Sales Revenue required to provide an after-tax net income of $250,000 is:
= $1,375,375
e) Abbreviated Contribution Income Statement

Variable costs = 618,919
Contribution = $756,456
Fixed costs 440,000
Before tax income 316,456
Income tax (21%) 66,458
After-tax income $249,998
equivalent to $250,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
CLIFF CONSULTING
Contribution Income Statement
For the Year Ended September 30
Sales revenue $ 1,200,000
Variable costs
Cost of services $ 480,000
Selling and administrative 60,000 540,000
Contribution margin 660,000
Fixed Costs -selling and administrative 440,000
Before-tax profit 220,000
Income taxes (21%) 46,200
After-tax profit $ 173,800
Break-even point in sales revenue = Fixed costs/Contribution margin ratio
= $440,000/0.55
= $800,000
Annual margin of safety = normal sales revenue minus break-even sales revenue
= $1,200,000 - $800,000
= $400,000
Contribution margin ratio = contribution margin/sales revenue * 100
= $660,000/$1,200,000 * 100 = 55%
If fixed costs increases by $80,000, the break-even point in sales revenue
= ($440,000 + $80,000)/0.55 = $520,000/0.55 = $945,455
To achieve after-tax net income of $250,000, the required dollar sales revenue:
Net income after-tax = $250,000
Tax rate = 21%
Net income before tax = $250,000/1-21%
= $250,000/0.79 = $316,456
Sales dollars to achieve target profit = (Fixed costs + Target Profit/1 - 0.21)/Contribution margin
= ($440,000 + ($250,000/0.79))/0-55
= ($440,000 + $316,456)/0.55
= $756,456/0.55
= $1,375,375
Abbreviated Contribution Income Statement
Sales revenue $1,375,375
Variable costs = 618,919
Contribution = $756,456
Fixed costs 440,000
Before tax income 316,456
Income tax (21%) 66,458
After-tax income $249,998
After-tax income is equivalent to $250,000

Corruptco is a large machine shop that fabricates metals. Corruptco maximizes profits and shareholder value by polluting the local river, where fish are often killed off due to the pollution, rather than installing a pollution abatement device. While this is not specifically in violation of the law, it does put burdens on the local community. Which theory of corporate social responsibility is Corruptco exhibiting
Answer: a. the narrow view, or invisible hand theory
Explanation:
When it comes to the narrow view theory of corporate social responsibility, companies put one thing above all else, the maximisation of shareholder wealth.
Any activity that would help them do so - legally - is considered fair game even if it leads to adverse effects. Corruptco is therefore adhering to this theory because they are polluting the the local river to maximize shareholder value.
List three pieces of criteria that economists use to determine if someone is employed
Answer:
The summary as per the given query is summarized below.
Explanation:
The criterion used by economists to decide whether the individual was working wasn’t employed.Employees hold down jobs for full as well as part-time pay where they already haven't a job and therefore are provisions of these terms for work even though they are unemployed.The labor force seems to be the number among all jobs working as well as unemployment.Let T1 be the time between a car accident and reporting a claim to the insurance company. Let T2 be the time between the report of the claim and payment of the claim. The joint density function of T1 and T2, f(t1, t2), is constant over the region 0 < t1 < 6, 0 < t2 < 6, t1 t2 < 10, and zero otherwise. Determine E[T1 T2], the expected time between a car accident and payment of the claim.
Answer:
5.7255
Explanation:
From the given information:
[tex]T_1 \to \text{time between car accident \& reporting claim} \\ \\ T_2 \to \text{time between reporting claim and payment of claim}[/tex]
The joint density function of [tex]T_1[/tex] and [tex]T_2[/tex] is:
[tex]f(t_1,t_2) = \left \{ {{c \ \ \ 0<t_1<6, \ \ \ 0<t_2<6, \ \ \ t_1+t_2<10} \atop {0} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ otherwise} \right.[/tex]
Area(A): [tex]= 6\times 6 - \dfrac{1}{2}*2*2[/tex]
= 34
The limits are:
[tex]\text{limits of } \ t_1 \ from \ 0 \ is \ 10 \to t_2 \\ \\ \text{limits of } \ t_2 \ from \ 0 \ is \ 4 \to 6[/tex]
Also;
[tex]\text{limits of } \ t_1 \ is \ 0 \to 6 \\ \\ \text{limits of } \ t_2 \ is \ 0 \to 4[/tex]
∴
[tex]\iint f(t_1,t_2) dt_1dt_2 =1 \\ \\ c \iint 1dt_1dt_2 = 1 \\ \\ cA = 1 \\ \\ \implies c = \dfrac{1}{34}[/tex]
To find;
[tex]E(T_1+T_2) = \iint (t_1+t_2)c \ \ dt_1dt_2 \\ \\ \implies \dfrac{1}{34} \Big[\int \limits^4_0 \int \limits^6_0(t_1+t_2) dt_1 \ dt_2 + \int \limits^6_4 \int \limits^{10-t_2}_0(t_1+t_2) dt_1 dt_2 \Big] \\ \\ \implies \dfrac{1}{34} (120 + \dfrac{224}{3}) \\ \\ = \mathbf{5.7255}[/tex]

Based on the readings: match the following business example with its associated product cost term A businessowner pays for rent and equipment at their office An airline considers the costs of serving food and beverages to its passengers A company considers the costs it pays to its employees A clothing manufacturer buys new machines for its factory A. variable costs B. fixed costs C. fixed cost D. variable costs
Answer:
A business owner pays for rent and equipment at their office ⇒ FIXED COSTs since the amount of rent paid should be the same year after year
An airline considers the costs of serving food and beverages to its passengers ⇒ VARIABLE COSTS since the cost of serving food will increase as the number of passengers increase, or will decrease if the number of passengers decrease
A company considers the costs it pays to its employees ⇒ VARIABLE COSTS since the number of employee can vary and the number of hours worked can also vary
A clothing manufacturer buys new machines for its factory ⇒ FIXED COSTS since the machines are depreciated at a predetermined rate that doesn't depend on the factory's output
Brent is a full-time exempt employee in Clark County, Indiana. He earns an annual salary of $39,360 and is paid semimonthly. He is married with 3 withholding allowances. His state income tax is $52.97, and Clark County income tax is $29.52 per pay period. What is the total of FICA, Federal, state, and local deductions per pay period, assuming no Pre-Tax Deductions
Answer:
Federal Income tax ⇒ $80FICA ⇒ $125.46 State income tax ⇒ $52.97Local deduction - Clark County Income tax ⇒ $29.52Explanation:
Brent gets paid semi-monthly so his pay per period is:
= 39,360 / (12 months *2)
= $1,640
Based on the table therefore, his federal tax is:
= $80
This figure is based on the intersection between income of $1,640 and 3 withholding allowances.
FICA tax rate is 7.65% so his FICA tax is:
= 1,640 * 7.65%
= $125.46
State income tax = $52.97
Local deduction - Clark County Income tax = $29.52
Total deductions:
= Federal tax + FICA + State income tax + Clark County income tax
= 80 + 125.46 + 52.97 + 29.52
= $287.95
Following are data for BioBeans and GreenKale, which sell organic produce and are of similar size. BioBeans GreenKale Average total assets $ 215,000 $ 166,500 Net sales 105,000 33,300 Net income 15,050 3,900 Required: 1a. Compute the profit margin for both companies. 1b. Compute the return on total assets for both companies. 2. Based on analysis of these two measures, which company is the preferred investment
Answer:
1a. We have:
BioBeans' profit margin = 14.33%
GreenKale's profit margin = 11.71%
1b. We have:
BioBeans' return on total assets = 7%
GreenKale's return on total assets = 2.34%
2. BioBeans is the preferred investment.
Explanation:
1a. Compute the profit margin for both companies.
Profit margin = Net income / Net sales ........... (1)
Using equation (1), we have:
BioBeans' profit margin = $15,050 / $105,000 = 0.1433, or 14.33%
GreenKale's profit margin = $3,900 / $33,300 = 0.1171, or 11.71%
1b. Compute the return on total assets for both companies.
Return on total assets = Net income / Average total assets ............ (2)
Using equation (1), we have:
BioBeans' return on total assets = $15,050 / $215,000 = 0.07, or 7%
GreenKale's return on total assets = $3,900 / $166,500 = 0.0234, or 2.34%
2. Based on analysis of these two measures, which company is the preferred investment?
Since the profit margin and return on total assets of BioBeans are greater than the profit margin and return on total assets of GreenKale, this indicates that BioBeans is the preferred investment.

Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable manufacturing cost $195
Applied fixed manufacturing cost 105
Variable selling and administrative cost 75
Allocated fixed selling and administrative cost 90
1)
Unitary variable cost= $195
Selling price= 195*2.1
Selling price= $409.5
2)
Total variable cost= 195 + 75= $270
Selling price= 270*1.65
Selling price= $445.5
3)
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
Total absorption cost= 195 + 105= $300
Selling price= 300*1.2
Selling price= $360

Kim works for a clothing manufacturer as a dress designer. During 2020, she travels to New York City to attend five days of fashion shows and then spends three days sightseeing. Her expenses are as follows:
Airfare $1,800
Lodging (8 nights) 2,340
Meals (8 days) 2,160
Airport transportation 115
Assume lodging/meals are the same amount for the business and personal portion of the trip ($293 per day for lodging and $270 per day for meals).
Required:
a. Presuming no reimbursement, how much can kim deduct as to the trip?
b. Would the tax treatment of Kim's deduction differ if she was an independent contractor (rather than an employee)? Explain.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. Presuming no reimbursement, how much can kim deduct as to the trip?
Airfare = $1,800
Add: Lodging = $2340 × 5/8 = $1462.50
Add: Meals = $2160 × 5/8 × 50% = $675
Add: Airport transportation = $115
Total deduction = $4052.50
b. Would the tax treatment of Kim's deduction differ if she was an independent contractor (rather than an employee)? Explain
The tax treatment of Kim's deduction if she was an independent contractor will be:
Airfare = $1,800
Add: Lodging = $2340 × 5/8 = $1462.50
Add: Meals = $2160 × 5/8 × 50% = $675
Add: Airport transportation = $115
Total deduction = $4052.50
Therefore, the tax treatment of Kim's deduction still remains the same.

Answer:
Outsourcing is a cost reduction practice where Company A contracts Company B or another party to carry out services or produce goods that Company A used to produce for itself.
It is done when paying Company B to perform the services, is cheaper than performing it themselves which would enable Company A to cut down on costs.
For example, it costs Company A $5 per customer service call if they do it themselves but it would cost $3 per call if they let Company B handle it. Outsourcing is where they pay Company B that $3 to handle the calls and save $2.
