Westside Plumbing and Heating Company is offered a contract for$100,000 to provide plumbing for a new building. The labor and equip-ment costs are calculated to be $60,000 for fulfilling the contract. West-side has materials in its inventory to complete the job. The raw ma-terials initially cost the firm $50,000; however the material prices havedeclined in the interim and now cost only $37,500. Thus if thefirmchose not to accept the contract and sells the materials, they wouldincur a loss of $12,500. Material prices are not expected to go up inthe future. Should Westside accept the contract. Explain your answer.
Answer:
Westside Plumbing and Heating Company
Westside should accept the contract.
By accepting the contract at the price of $100,000, Westside incurs a total cost of $97,500 and makes a little profit of $2,500 ($100,000 - $97,500). The contract enables Westside to utilize the materials that it has in inventory instead of allowing it to deteriorate further in value.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Contract price = $100,000
Labor and equipment costs = $60,000
Original cost of materials = $50,000
Materials market price = $37,500
Total costs to be incurred = $97,500 ($60,000 + $37,500)
Profit to be earned = $2,500 ($100,000 - $97,500)

Correlation is a statistical measure used to measure the relationship that exists between two variables.
1. Positive correlation : it mean that the two variables move in the same direction. If one variable increases, the other variable also increases. It increases the risk of the portfolio
For example, there should be a positive correlation between quantity supplied and price
When there is a positive correlation, the graph of the variables is upward sloping
2. Negative correlation : it mean that the two variables move in different direction. If one variable increases, the other variable decreases. It decreases the risk of the portfolio
For example, there should be a negative correlation between quantity demanded and price
When there is a negative correlation, the graph of the variables is downward sloping
3. Zero correlation : there is no relationship between the variables. It decreases the risk of the portfolio

Last year the company had net operating income of $430,000 on sales of $1,300,000. The companyâs average operating assets for the year were $1,500,000 and its minimum required rate of return was 10%.
Required:Compute the companyâs residual income for the year.Average Operating Assets-Net Operating Income-Minimum required return-Residual income-
Answer: $280,000
Explanation:
Residual income can be calculated by the formula:
= Net operating income - (Average operating asset * Minimum required rate)
= 430,000 - (1,500,000 * 10%)
= 430,000 - 150,000
= $280,000
The Richmond Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The company has only a single processing department. The company's ending work in process inventory on August 31 consisted of 18,600 units. The units in the ending work in process inventory were 100% complete with respect to materials and 60% complete with respect to labor and overhead. If the cost per equivalent unit for August was $2.90 for materials and $4.40 for labor and overhead, the total cost assigned to the ending work in process inventory was: Multiple Choice $103,044 $81,468 $135,780 $86,676
Answer:
A. $103,044
Explanation:
Ending work in progress inventory = 18,600 units
Cost of equivalent unit for material = $2.90 per unit
Ending work in progress inventory i= 100% complete for material
Total cost of inventory for material = 18,600 units * $2.90 per unit
Total cost of inventory for material = $53,940
Cost of equivalent unit for labor = $4.40
Ending work in progress = 60% complete for labor
Cost of ending work in progress = $4.40 * 60% * 18,600
Cost of ending work in progress = $49,104
Total cost of ending work in progress inventory = $53,940 + $49,104
Total cost of ending work in progress inventory = $103,044
A risky fund has an expected return of 17% and standard deviation of 25%. The risk-free rate is 9%. The expected return of the optimal complete portfolio is 12%. The Sharpe ratio of the optimal complete portfolio is:
Answer:
the Sharpe ratio of the optimal complete portfolio is 0.32
Explanation:
The computation of the sharpe ratio is shown below:
= (Return of portfolio - risk free asset) ÷ Standard deviation
= (17% - 9%) ÷ 25%
= 8% ÷ 25%
= 0.32
Hence, the Sharpe ratio of the optimal complete portfolio is 0.32

ohn and Lisa form a partnership to operate a restaurant. Lisa signs a two-year lease on a space for the restaurant without consulting John. Under the legal concept of ________, John and the partnership are responsible for this lease, although it was only signed by Lisa.
Answer:
General Partnership
Explanation:
The legal concept of General Partnership obliges two or more signing partners -Lisa and John in this case- to share all assets, all liabilities, and to be responsible for all matters related to the business, regardless of who signs a contract, or contracts new debt, or acquires a new asset, and so on.
So under this legal concept, even if John did not sign the lease, he is still legally responsible for it.
Changes in the products for which a nation has a comparative advantage create sectoral shocks leading to an increase in frictional unemployment. a. True b. False
Answer: False
Explanation:
Frictional unemployment is a natural unemployment that results when people enter the labor force for the first time and when people move from one job to another. It is therefore not caused by sectoral shocks and every economy, even the best performing ones, will have frictional unemployment.
The unemployment that results from sectoral shocks is cyclical unemployment. This one is not natural and results from the business cycle and shocks to the economy.
The Omega started the year with $650,000 in the common stock account and $1,318,407 in the additional paid-in surplus account. The end-of-year balance sheet showed $720,000 and $1,299,310 in the same two accounts, respectively. What is the cash flow to stockholders if the firm paid $68,500 in dividends
Answer:
$17,597
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the cash flow to stockholders
Using this formula
Cash flow to stockholders = Dividends paid - Common stock issued
Let plug in the formula
Cash flow to stockholders= Dividends 68,500 - (1299,310+ 720,000)- (1318407+ 650000)
Cash flow to stockholders= Dividends 68,500 - (2,019,310-1,968,407)
Cash flow to stockholders= 68,500-50,903
Cash flow to stockholders= $17,597
Therefore the cash flow to stockholders if the firm paid $68,500 in dividends is $17,597

b. It should not be considered as the meaningful as the fixed cost would remains the fixed i.e. $460 also the 0.33 per mile should be considered as the variable cost that change with the change in the no of miles covered
Therefore the same should be considered
Lupo Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. The company based its predetermined overhead rate for the current year on the following data:
Total machine-hours
Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost
Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour 31,400 $219,800 4
Recently. Job T687 was completed with the following characteristics:
Number of units in the job 10
Total machine-hours
Direct materials
Direct labor cost $ 580 $1,160
The total job cost for Job T687 is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculation to 2 decimal places)
Answer:
$1960
Explanation:
The computation of the total cost is shown below:
Total variable overhead estimated is
= (4 × 31400)
= $125600
Now
total overhead estimated is
= Total variable overhead estimated + Total fixed overhead estimated
= $125600 + 219800
= $345400
Now predetermined overhead rate is
= $345400 ÷ 31400
= $11 per machine hour
Now total overhead applied is
= (11 × 20)
= $220
So, total job cost is
= Direct material + Direct labor + Total overhead
= (580+1160+220)
= $1960
In a sandwich shop, 3 workers are able to make 45 sandwiches in an hour during the lunch rush. When a 4th worker is added, the team is able to make 57 sandwiches. Calculate the marginal product of adding the 4th worker.
Answer:
12
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the marginal product of adding the 4th worker
Using this formula
MP=ΔTPΔL
Let plug in the formula
ΔTP=57−45
ΔTP=12
Therefore The marginal product of adding the 4th worker is 12 sandwiches.

Sayid is the sole shareholder of an S corporation in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. At a time when his stock basis is $20,000, the corporation distributes appreciated property worth $40,000 (basis of $20,000). There is no built-in gain. Sayid's taxable gain is:
Answer:
$20,000
Explanation:
The computation of the taxable gain is shown below:
The corporate gain is
= $40,000 - $20,000
= $20,000
Now the stock basis is increased i.e.
= $20,000 + $20,000
= $40.000
Now the stock basis decreased to zero i.e.
= $40,000 - $40,000
= $0
So, here the taxable gain is of $20,000
A justification for job training programs is that they improve worker productivity. Suppose that you are asked to evaluate whether more job training makes workers more productive. However, rather than having data on individual workers, you have access to data on manufacturing firms in Ohio. In particular, for each firm, you have information on hours of job training per worker (training) and number of non-defective items produced per worker (output).
Required:
a. Carefully state the ceteris paribus thought experiment underlying this policy question.
b. Does it seem likely that a firm’s decision to train its workers will be independent ofworker characteristics? What are some of those measurable and unmeasurable workercharacteristics?
c. Name a factor other than worker characteristics that can affect worker productivity.
d. If you find a positive correlation between output and training, would you haveconvincingly established that job training makes workers more productive? Explain.
Solution :
a). There is a way to state the question :
If there are two firms, firm A and firm B. Both the forms are same in all the respects but differ in only one thing, that firm A provides job training 1 hour per worker more than the number of hours of training of firm B, by how much the output of firm A would differ than the output from firm B?
b). The manufacturing firms that are located in Ohio will provide the job training based on the characteristics of workers. Some of the determining factors includes years of schooling, experience in a particular job, etc. The firms can even consider the worker's age, race or gender. The training will be provided to the less efficient workers based on their ability.
c). The amount of the capital as well as the technology that is available to the workers would affect the output of the firm. Thus the firms having the same kind of employees would have different outputs when the firms used different technology or different amount of capital.
d). No, unless the training is randomly assigned. The factors are listed above which can contribute to the finding of a positive correlation between the output and the training even when the job training does not improve the productivity of the worker.
