Answer: 1/2 lemonade for each popcorn
Explanation:
Price of lemonade = $1.50
Price of popcorn = $0.75
Let good 1 = popcorn
Let good 2 = lemonade
MRS = MU1/MU2 = P1/P2
= 0.75/1.50
= 1/2
Therefore, the marginal rate of substitution will be 1/2 lemonade for each popcorn.

Dallas Products is a division of a major corporation. The following data are for the most recent year of operations: Sales $ 37,080,000 Net operating income $ 3,108,960 Average operating assets $ 8,600,000 The company's minimum required rate of return 16 % The division's residual income is closest to:______
Answer:
1,732,960
Explanation:
The sales is $37,080,000
The net operating income is $3,108,960
The average operationg assets is $8,600,000
The required rate of return is 16%
The divisional residual income can be calculated as follows

= 3,108,960 - (0.16×8,600,000)
= 3,108,960-1,376,000
= 1,732,960
Hence the residual income is closest to $1,732,960

Answer:
b.$12,990
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the amount debited to Work in Process for factory overhead in August, assuming a factory overhead rate of 30% of direct labor costs
Using this formula
Overhead applied = Direct labor cost * Predetermined overhead rate
Let plug in the formula
Overhead applied= 43,300 * 30%
Overhead applied= $12,990
Therefore the amount debited to Work in Process for factory overhead in August, assuming a factory overhead rate of 30% of direct labor costs is $12,990

You are going to retire in 43 years. After retirement, you need $80,000 at the end of year for 25 years. How much do you have to save for your retirement every month
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
I will assume an interest rate of 8% per year.
First, we need to calculate the amount required at the moment of retirement:
PV= A*{(1/i) - 1/[i*(1 + i)^n]}
PV= 80,000 * {(1/0.08) - 1/[0.08*(1.08^25)]}
PV= $853,982.1
Now, the monthly deposit required:
i= 0.08/12= 0.0067
n= 43*12= 516
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (853,982.1*0.0067) / [(1.0067^516) - 1]
A= $188.43

b) 15%.
c) 16%.
d) 19%.
Your company is estimated to make dividends payments of $2.2 next year, $3.9 the year after, and $4.8 in the year after that. The dividends will then grow at a constant rate of 2% per year. If the discount rate is 9% then what is the current stock price?
Answer:
$63.01
Explanation:
The share price today is the present value of expected future cash flows which in this case are the expected future dividends and the terminal value of dividends beyond the 3rd year.
Year 1 dividend =$2.2
Year 2 dividend =$3.9
Year 3 dividend =$4.8
Terminal value=Year 3 dividend*(1+constant growth rate)/(required rate of return-constant growth rate)
constant growth rate=2%
the required rate of return=9%
Terminal value=$4.80*(1+2%)/(9%-2%)
Terminal value=$69.94
Present value of a future cash flow=cash flow/(1+required rate of return)^n
n is 1 for year 1 dividend, 2 for year 2 dividend , 3 for year 3 dividend, and terminal value(terminal value is stated in year 3 terms)
stock price=$2.2/(1+9%)^1+$3.9/(1+9%)^2+$4.8/(1+9%)^3+$69.94/(1+9%)^3
stock price=$63.01
n Office Manager uses a Periodic Review Inventory System: they check the inventory in their Office Supply Closet once every 10 days, placing an order with their supplier depending on the inventory level of the office supplies. The manager has set a restocking level of 300 post it notes for their closet. This week, the manager has counted 140 post it notes in the closet. How many post it notes will the manager order from their supplier? In other words, what is the Order Quantity?
Answer: 160
Explanation:
The number of post it notes that the manager will order from their supplier will be the difference between the restocking level and the inventory at the time of review. This will be:
= Restocking level - Inventory at the time of review
= 300 - 140
= 160
Therefore, the order quantity is 160.
Wilturner Company incurs $80,000 of labor related directly to the product in the Assembly Department, and $29,000 of labor related to the Assembly Department as a whole, and $16,000 of labor for services that help production in both the Assembly and Finishing departments. The amount of direct labor and factory overhead respectively are:________
Answer:
Direct labor = $80,000Factory Overhead = $29,000Explanation:
Direct labor is the cost of labor that was involved in the actual production process.
Factory overhead is the labor that was involved in the production but not directly involved.
Direct labor here is therefore the $80,000 that was directly related to the product.
Factory overhead is the $29,000 that was related to the Assembly department as a whole.

Walbin Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The beginning work in process inventory in a particular department consisted of 15,500 units, 100% complete with respect to materials cost and 20% complete with respect to conversion costs. The total cost in the beginning work in process inventory was $25,200. A total of 53,000 units were transferred out of the department during the month. The costs per equivalent unit were computed to be $1.6 for materials and $3.3 for conversion costs. The total cost of the units completed and transferred out of the department was:
a. $259,700
b. $254,180
c. $189,740
d. $225,380
Answer:
a. $259,700
Explanation:
The computation of the total cost of the units completed and transferred out of the department is given below:
= 53,000 units × $1.6 + 53,000 un$its × $3.3
= $84,800 + $174,900
= $259,700
Hence, the total cost of the units completed and transferred out of the department is $259,700
Taylor's nominal income is $50,000 per year in Acity where the cost-of-living index is 200. Taylor is considering accepting a similar job and relocating to Becity where the cost-of- living index is 210. For Taylor's income to have the same purchasing power in Becity as $50,000 has in Acity, then Taylor's nominal income per year in Becity must equal:
Answer: $52,500
Explanation:
Taylor's real income in Acity is:
= Nominal income / Cost of living index
= 50,000 / 200
= $250
Taylor needs to be paid a nominal amount that when divided by the cost of living index in Bcity, Taylor's real income would be $250.
Real income = Nominal income / Cost of living index
250 = Income / 210
Income = 210 * 250
= $52,500
The Chandler Group wants to set up a private cemetery business. According to the CFO, Barry M. Deep, business is "looking up". As a result, the cemetery project will provide a net cash inflow of $57,000 for the firm during the first year, and the cash flows are projected to grow at a rate of 7 percent per year forever. The project requires an initial investment of $759,000. The firm requires a 14 percent return on such undertakings. The company is somewhat unsure about the assumption of a 7 percent growth rate in its cash flows. At what constant rate of growth would the company just break even?
Answer: 6.49%
Explanation:
The constant rate of growth where the company would break even will be calculated thus:
Initial investment = Net cash inflow / (14% - g)
759000 = 57,000/(0.14 - g)
where g = growth rate
759000 = 57,000/(0.14 - g)
Cross multiply
759000(0.14 - g) = 57000
106260 - 759000g = 57000
759000g = 106260 - 57000
759000g = 49260
g = 49260/759000.
g = 0.0649
g = 6.49%
The growth rate that would lead the business to breakeven is 6.49%.
At breakeven, the growth rate would lead to the cash inflows from the project being just enough to pay back the initial investment put into the catering business.
This growth rate is calculated by the formula:
Growth rate = ( (Investment * return rate) * - First cash inflow) / Investment
= ( (759,000 * 14%) - 57,000) / 759,000
= 6.49%
The growth rate that would lead the business to breakeven is therefore 6.49%.

Cute Camel Woodcraft Company is considering a one-year project that requires an initial investment of $500,000; however, in raising this capital, Cute Camel will incur an additional flotation cost of 6%. At the end of the year, the project is expected to produce a cash inflow of $700,000. The rate of return that Cute Camel expects to earn on the project after its flotation costs are taken into account is
Answer:
The correct answer is "32.076%".
Explanation:
Given:
Initial investment,
= $500,000
Cash inflows,
= $500,000
The floatation cost will be:
= [tex]500,000\times 6 \ percent[/tex]

Front Company had net income of $82,500 based on variable costing. Beginning and ending inventories were 1,800 units and 3,200 units, respectively. Assume the fixed overhead per unit was $8.40 for both the beginning and ending inventory. What is net income under absorption costing
Answer:
$94,260.00
Explanation:
There is no doubt that the difference between net income under absorption costing and variable costing method lies in the treatment of fixed cost, under the former, each product is charged with fixed cost while total fixed cost is charged as a period cost under the latter.
In essence, the fixed cost on ending inventory would have been expensed and deducted in arriving at net income under variable cost, in other words, we simply add to net income under variable costing the fixed cost attributable to an increase in ending inventory
income=$82,500+(3200-1800)*$8.40
net income=$94,260.00

The [tex]\text{aggregate price level}[/tex] is the measure of overall level of the prices in an economy.
When the [tex]\text{aggregate price level}[/tex] increases, it results in inflation. In an economy, when the aggregate price level increases, and the wage rate remains the same due to the downward wage stickiness, it results in an economy which would fire some of the employees as the labor becomes very expensive and the quantity of the real GDP supplied would also decrease.
Suppose the lead time is 3 operating days, and that the superstore wishes to maintain instock probability of 90%. The demand in each day is normal distributed with standard deviation 10, and the demands cross 3 days are independent. What is the re-order point? The z-score for 0.9 is 1.28. (
Answer:
the re-order point is 97.17
Explanation:
The computation of the re-order point is given below:
Re-order point is
= (Daily demand × Lead time) + (Z × Standard deviation × Sqrt(Lead time)
= (25 × 3) + (1.28 × 10 × Sqrt(3))
= 97.17
hence, the re-order point is 97.17
The same is to be considered and relevant too
This past year inflation in Snowdonia has increased to 150%. As an economic analyst, you are charged with identifying those sectors of the population worst affected by this inflation event. Which group of people is likely to be worst affected by inflation
Answer:
disabled veterans living on fixed (non-adjustable) government transfer payments
Explanation:
Here the group income should remains the fixed or same for the time period so at the time when the price of the goods rised up or the value of the money reduced so it would become hard for the inflation event
Therefore the group of people who deals in veterans i.e. disabled and lived on fixed government transfer payment should be worst impacted by the inflation
