Answer:
true
Explanation:
Sheila and Jim live in an island where they are the only two workers. Sheila can either catch 10 fish or gather 40 pounds of berries each day, and Jim can either catch 8 fish or gather 24 pounds of berries each day. Both of them work 200 days per year. At current world prices 1 fish trades for 3.5 pounds of berries. Who has the comparative advantage in producing berries
Answer:
SHEILA
Explanation:
A person has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other people.
Sheila's opportunity cost in producing berries = 10/40 = 0.25
Jim's opportunity cost in producing berries = 8/24 = 0.33
Sheila has a lower opportunity cost in the production of berries and thus has a comparative advantage in the production of berries
Cora purchased a hotel building on May 17, 2020, for $3,000,000. Determine the cost recovery deduction for 2021. a.$76,920 b.$69,000 c.$48,150 d.$59,520
Answer: $76920
Explanation:
Firstly, we should note that the hotel building is simply non residential and then qualifies to be part of 39 year property.
Then, the cost of recovery will be:
= 1/39 × Cost of the hotel
= 1/39 × $3,000,000
= $76,920
Therefore, the cost recovery deduction for 2021 is $76,920

Explanation:
Bodin Company budgets on an annual basis. The following beginning and ending inventory levels (in units) are plannned for the year 20x1. Five units of raw material are required to produce each unit of finished product. January 1 December 31 Raw material 42,000 49,000 Work in process 19,000 19,000 Finished goods 92,000 75,000 Required: 1. If Bodin Company plans to sell 476,000 units during the year, compute the number of units the firm would have to manufacture during the year. 2. If 508,000 finished units were to be manufactured by Bodin Company during the year, determine the amount of raw material to be purchased.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1. The number of units to be manufactured during the year is
= Selling units + ending finished goods - opening finished goods
= 476,000 units + 75,000 units - 92,000 units
= 459,000 units
2. The raw material purchased amount is
= (508,000 × 5) + 49,000 - 42,000
= $2,547,000
The same would be relevant

YZ Company is rethinking the way it ships to its 62 customers in another city 220 miles away.
Current Shipping/Delivery Method
They currently hire an LTL (less-than-truckload) carrier to pick up and deliver these shipments. Each customer order shipped via LTL carrier costs $147.
Alternate Shipping/Delivery Method
A 3PL (third-party logistics provider) has approached XYZ Company and suggested that they make full truckload (TL) shipments from their facility to the 3PL's warehouse in the customers' city. The 3PL would then break the bulk shipment (TL or truckload shipment) into individual customer orders to be shipped locally by an LTL carrier. The relative data for this alternate shipping method are as follows:
Full TL shipment cost (220 miles) = $675
Average order weight = 750 lbs.
Warehouse break-bulk fee (per 100 lbs., a.k.a. per "hundred weight") = $13
Local LTL delivery fee = $36
1. What is the total cost of delivering to all customers via LTL carrier (current method
R=_______.
2. How much money would XYZ company save by using the alternate shipping/delivery method?
R=______.
3. At what number of customers would the cost of these two methods be the same?
R=______.
Answer:
1. Total cost of customer order shipped via LTL carrier is $9,114.
2. XYZ company would save $162 by using the alternate shipping/delivery method.
3. The cost of these two methods would be the same when the number of customers is approximately 6.
Explanation:
To ease answering the question, let us first the define as follows:
N = Number of customers = Number of Order
A = Each customer order shipped via LTL carrier costs = $147
B = Average order weight = 750
C = Warehouse break-bulk fee per hundred weight = 13
D = Total cost of weight = ((N * B) / 100) * C
E = Local LTL delivery fee = $36
F = Total Local LTL delivery fee = N * E
G = Full TL shipment cost (220 miles) = 675
H = Total cost of shipping using 3PL = D + F + G
I = Total cost of customer order shipped via LTL carrier = N * A
J = Difference between the cost of the two methods = I - H
1. What is the total cost of delivering to all customers via LTL carrier (current method
This can be calculated using E above as follows:
Total cost of customer order shipped via LTL carrier = E = N * A = 62 * $147 = $9,114
2. How much money would XYZ company save by using the alternate shipping/delivery method?
From the definitions above, we have:
N = Number of orders = 62
D = Total cost of weight = ((N * B) / 100) * C = ((62 * 750) / 100) * 13 = $6,045
F = Total Local LTL delivery fee = N * E = 62 * 36 = $2,232
G = Full TL shipment cost (220 miles) = $675
H = Total cost of shipping using 3PL = D + F + G = $6,045 + $2,232 + $675 = $8,952
I = Total cost of customer order shipped via LTL carrier = $9,114
J = Difference between the cost of the two methods = I - H = $9,114 - $8,952 = $162
Therefore, XYZ company would save $162 by using the alternate shipping/delivery method.
3. At what number of customers would the cost of these two methods be the same?
H = Total cost of shipping using 3PL = D + F + G = (((N * B) / 100) * C) + (N * E) + G ............ (1)
Substituting all the relevant value into equation (1), we have:
H = (((N * 750) / 100) * 13) + (N * 36) + 675
I = N * 147
Equating H and I and solve for N, we have:
(((N * 750) / 100) * 13) + (N * 36) + 675 = N * 147
((N0.01 * 7.50) * 13) + 675 = N147 - N36
(N0.075* 13) + 675 = N111
N0.975 + 675 = N111
675 = N111 - N0.975
N110.025 = 675
N = 675 / 110.025
N = 6.13496932515337.
By approximating to a whole number since we are talking about human being, we have:
N = 6
At what number of customers would
Therefore, the cost of these two methods would be the same when the number of customers is approximately 6.
A researcher was interested in the relationship between the number of texts sent in a day and the number of e-mails sent in a day by employees at a certain company. Using 15 data values, a 90 percent confidence interval for the slope of a regression model was found to be (2.31, 3.47). The researcher claims that the interval would have been narrower with a different sample size if all other things remained the same. Which of the following sample sizes would make the researcher's claim NOT true?
A. 14
B. 16
C. 20
D. 30
E. 100
Answer:
A. 14
Explanation:
the researcher claims that the width of the interval would have been smaller if the sample had been different, and in this case different refers to larger. The original sample included only 15 people, so in order to increase the data sample, you must include more than 15 people. That is why 14 doesn't make sense.
PepsiCo, Inc. (PEP), the parent company of Frito-LayTM snack foods and Pepsi beverages, had the following current assets and current liabilities at the end of two recent years: Year 2 (in millions) Year 1 (in millions) Cash and cash equivalents $ 9,096 $ 6,134 Short-term investments, at cost 2,913 2,592 Accounts and notes receivable, net 6,437 6,651 Inventories 2,720 3,143 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 1,865 2,143 Short-term obligations (liabilities) 4,071 5,076 Accounts payable and other current liabilities 13,507 13,016 a. Determine the (1) current ratio and (2) quick ratio for both years. Round to one decimal place.
Answer:
Current ratio
Year 1 = 1.3
Year 2 = 1.1
Quick ratio
Year 1 = 1.0
Year 2 = 0.8
Explanation:
Current ratio is the ration of a company's current assets to the current liabilities while the quick ratio is similar to the current asset except that the prepaid expenses and inventories are excluded from the determination of the assets.
Current assets
Year 1 = 9,096 + 2,913 + 6,437 + 2,720 + 1,865
= $ 23,031.00
Year 2 = 6,134 + 2,592 + 6,651 + 3,143 + 2,143
= $ 20,663.00
Current Liabilities
Year 1 = 4,071 + 13,507
= $ 17,578.00
Year 2 = 5,076 + 13,016
= $ 18,092.00
Current ratio
Year 1 = $ 23,031.00/$ 17,578.00
= 1.3 ( to 1 decimal place)
Year 2 = $ 20,663.00/$ 18,092.00
= 1.1 to 1 decimal place
Quick ratio
Year 1
= (23,031.00 - 2,720 - 1,865)/ 17,578.00
= 1.0 to 1 decimal place
Year 2
= (20,663.00 - 3,143 - 2,143)
= 0.8 to 1 decimal place

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]
You expect to receive a payout from a trust fund in 3 years. The payout will be for $10,200. You plan to invest the money at an annual rate of 6.2 percent until the account is worth $17,800. How many years do you have to wait from today
Answer:
n= 12.25 years
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Present value= $10,200
Future value= $17,800
Interest rate= 6.2%
First, we need to calculate the number of years it will take the investment to reach $17,80. We need to use the following formula:
n= ln(FV/PV) / ln(1+i)
n= ln(17,800/10,200) / ln(1.062)
n= 9.25 years
Now, the total number of years:
n= 9.25 + 3
n= 12.25 years

Bismark Inc, a large manufacturer of heavy equipment components, has determined the following activity cost pools and cost driver levels for the year:
Activity Cost Pool Activity Cost Activity Cost Driver
Machine Setup $600,000 15,000 setup hours
Material handling 90,000 3,000 tons of materials
Machine operation 420,000 12,000 machine hours
The following data are for the production of single batches of two products, Camshafts and Swing Drives during the month of August:
Camshafts Swing Drives
Units produced 1,500 900
Machine hours 4 5
Direct labor hours 300 500
Direct labor cost $7,000 $12,000
Direct materials cost $40,000 $30,000
Tons of materials 10 7
Setup hours 5 8
Determine the unit costs of Camshafts and Swing Drives using ABC. Round answers to the nearest cent.
Camshafts $ _____
Swing Drives $_____
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the activities rates:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Machine Setup= 600,000 / 15,000= $40 per setup hour
Material handling= 90,000 / 3,000= $30 per ton of material
Machine operation= 420,000 / 12,000= $35 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate costs to each product:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Camshafts:
Machine Setup= 40*5= $200
Material handling= 30*10= $300
Machine operation= 35*4= $140
Total allocated costs= $640
Swing Drives:
Machine Setup= 40*8= $320
Material handling= 30*7= $210
Machine operation= 35*5= $175
Total allocated costs= $705
Finally, the unitary cost:
Camshafts:
Total cost= 40,000 + 7,000 + 640= $47,640
Unitary cost= 47,640 / 1,500= $31.76
Swing Drives:
Total cost= 30,000 + 12,000 + 705= $42,705
Unitary cost= 42,705 / 900= $47.45
A $64,000 machine with a 6-year class life was purchased 2 years ago. The machine will now be sold for $50,000 and replaced with a new machine costing $82,000, with a 10-year class life. The new machine will not increase sales, but will decrease operating costs by $9,000 per year. Simplified straight line depreciation is employed for both machines, and the marginal corporate tax rate is 34 percent. What is the incremental annual cash flow associated with the project
Answer:
$6,779
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the incremental annual cash flow associated with the project
First step is to calculate the depreciation
Depreciation=[($64,000/6 years)-($82,000/10 years)
Depreciation=$10,667-$8,200
Depreciation=$2,467
Now let calculate the Incremental annual cash flow
Incremental annual cash flow ={($9,000-$2,467)
-[($9,000-$2,467)*34%]+$2,467}
Incremental annual cash flow =[($6,533-$2,221)+$2,467]
Incremental annual cash flow =$4,312+$2,467

Russell Retail Group begins the year with inventory of $65,000 and ends the year with inventory of $55,000. During the year, the company has four purchases for the following amounts. Purchase on February 17 $ 220,000 Purchase on May 6 140,000 Purchase on September 8 170,000 Purchase on December 4 420,000 Required: Calculate cost of goods sold for the year.
Answer:
COGS= $960,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning inventroy= $65,000
Ending inventory= $55,000
Total Purchase= 220,000 + 140,000 + 170,000+ 420,000= $950,000
To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to use the following formula:
COGS= beginning inventory + cost of goods purchased - ending inventory
COGS= 65,000 + 950,000 - 55,000
COGS= $960,000

Calculate the company's WACC. (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) WACC %
Answer:
8.19%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the company's WACC
First step is to calculate the CAPM rate of equity
Using this formula
CAPM rate of equity = Risk free rate + market risk premium * beta
Let plug in the formula
CAPM rate of equity=3.75%+(11.7%-3.75%)*0.93
CAPM rate of equity=11.14%
Second step is to calculate the DDM rate of equity
Using this formula
DDM rate of equity= Expected dividend next year/Price today + Growth rate
Let plug in the formula
DDM rate of equity=3/64.8+5.3%
DDM rate of equity=9.93%
Third step is to calculate the Cost of equity using this formula
Cost of equity = Average of CAPM and DDM
Let plug in the formula
Cost of equity=(11.14%+9.93%)/2
Cost of equity= 10.54%
Fourth Step is to calculate the Cost of debt (after tax)
Cost of debt (after tax) using financial calculator to compute YTM
PV -1047.5
FV 1000
PMT 1000*6.5%/2 32.5
N 22*2 44
Compute I 3.05%
YTM =3.05%*2 6.10%
Tax rate = 23%
Hence,
Rate of debt (after tax) = 6.1%*(1-23%)
Rate of debt (after tax) = 4.70%
Fifth step is to calculate the Rate of preferred stock using this formula
Rate of preferred stock = Annual dividend/Current price
Let plug in the formula
Rate of preferred stock=4.65/94.3
Rate of preferred stock=4.93
Sixth step is to calculate the Weight
Market value
Source
equity 240000*64.8= 15552000
debt 1047.5*9300= 9741750
preferred stock 8300*94.3=782690
Total 26076440
equity 15552000/26076440= 59.64%
debt 9741750/26076440=37.36%
preferred stock 782690/ 26076440=3.00%
Now let calculate compute WACC
WACC= weight * cost
equity 59.64%*10.54%=6.28%
debt 37.36%* 4.70% =1.76%
preferred stock3.00%*4.93%=0.15%
WACC = 8.19%
(6.28%+1.76%+0.15%)
Therefore the company's WACC is 8.19%

Advanced Enterprises reports year−end information from 2019 as follows: Sales (160,250 units) $969,000 Cost of goods sold (641,000) Gross margin 328,000 Operating expenses (268,000) Operating income $60,000 Advanced is developing the 2020 budget. In 2020 the company would like to increase selling prices by 13.5%, and as a result expects a decrease in sales volume of 10%. All other operating expenses are expected to remain constant. Assume that cost of goods sold is a variable cost and that operating expenses are a fixed cost. What is budgeted cost of goods sold
Answer:
Cost of goods sold = $576,900
Explanation:
The budgeted cost of goods sold will be the sales volume in 2020 multiplied by cost per unit .
Sales volume in year 2020= (100-10)% × sales figure for 2019
= 90% × 160,250= 144,225
Cost of goods sold per unit = cost of goods sold in 2019/Sales units in 2019
= 641,000/160250=$4
Cost of goods sold = $4× 144,225 = $576,900
Cost of goods sold = $576,900
A firm is operating in the United States with only two other competitors in the industry. a. It is likely this industry would be characterized as: multiple choice 1 monopolistically competitive. perfectly competitive. oligopoly. pure monopoly. b. Firms in this industry will likely earn: multiple choice 2 a normal profit. an economic profit. an economic loss. c. If foreign firms begin supplying the product, increasing the number of competitors, it is likely that: multiple choice 3 economic profits will fall.
Answer:
a. oligopoly.
b. an economic profit.
c. economic profits will fall.
Explanation:
An oligopoly can be defined as a market structure comprising of a small number of firms (sellers) offering identical or similar products, wherein none can limit the significant influence of others.
Hence, it is a market structure that is distinguished by several characteristics, one of which is either similar or identical products and dominance by few firms.
The characteristics of an oligopolistic market structure are;
I. Mutual interdependence between the firms.
II. Market control by many small firms.
III. Difficult entry to new firms.
Hence, a firm operating in the United States of America with only two other competitors in the industry is likely to be an industry that would be characterized as oligopoly.
Additionally, business firms operating in this industry (oligopolistic market) will likely earn an economic profit. Also, if foreign business firms begin supplying the product, increasing the number of competitors, it is likely that economic profits will fall because the industry is now being competitive and controlled by other business firms.
In economics, market structure refers to how different industries are distinguished depending on the degree and form of product and services rivalry. It's based on the features that influence the outcomes and behaviors of businesses in a given market.
a) An oligopoly is a business that operates in the United States with only two other competitors in the same industry.
Reason:
An oligopoly is a market structure with a small number of enterprises and high entry barriers. A competitive environment in which there are just a few vendors reveals to be Oligopoly because there are only two competitors available in the business.
b) Oligopolistic businesses will almost certainly make an economic profit.
Reason:
In an oligopoly, all firms would have to work together to raise prices and make a bigger profit. The bulk of oligopolies form in industries where goods are essentially homogeneous and give essentially the same advantage to customers.
c) Economic earnings are expected to diminish or fall if international enterprises begin to supply the product, increasing the number of competitors.
Reason:
As the supply curve changes to the right, the market price begins to fall, and as a result, existing and new enterprises' economic earnings fall. Due to the entry of new enterprises, which pulls down the market price, economic profit is zero in the long term.

Consider the following statements when answering this question I. Increases in the demand for a good, which is produced by a competitive industry, will raise the short-run market price. II. Increases in the demand for a good, which is produced by a competitive industry, will raise the long-run market price. I is true, and II is false. I and II are true. I is false, and II is true. I and II are false.
Answer:
I and II are true
Explanation:
I. Increases in the demand for a good, which is produced by a competitive industry, will raise the short-run market price
In the short run of the competitive industry when the market demand for goods rises then the price of these goods will also increase. This is because the price equals marginal revenue. Therefore, when price rises then marginal revenue will increase and as a result, the marginal cost curve moves up and firms produce more quantity of goods. This statement is therefore true.
II. Increases in the demand for a good, which is produced by a competitive industry, will raise the long-run market price
The effect of the increase in goods demand is the same in the long run of the competitive industry as it is in the short run. Therefore, a rise in demand would raise the price of the goods above ATC (Average Total Cost). Hence, the above statement is also true.
The Tradition Corporation is considering a change in its cash-only policy. The new terms would be net one period. The required return is 2.4 percent per period. Based on the following information, what is the break-even price per unit that should be charged under the new credit policy? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Current Policy New Policy ?
Price per unit $ 93 ?
Cost per unit $ 44 $ 44
Unit sales per month 2,675 2,750
X Answer is complete but not entirely correct.
Break-even price $ 92.87 x
Answer: $93.86
Explanation:
The break even price simply refers to the price that's required to make a normal profit. From the information given, the break even price will be:
= [($93-$44) × 2675)/2750) + 44] × ( 1 + 2.3%)
= [$49 × 2675)/2750)+44] × (1+0.024)
= [(49 × 2675)/2750)+44] × 1.024
= [(131075/2750) + 44] × 1.024
= (47.66 + 44) × 1.024
= 91.66 × 1.024
= $93.86
Therefore, the break even price is $93.86

The manager of the Quick Stop Corner convenience store (which is open 360 days per year) sells four cases of Stein soda each day (1440 cases per year). Order costs are $8.00 per order. The lead time for an order is three days. Annual holding costs are equal to $57.60 per case. If the manager orders 16 cases each time she places an order, how many orders would she place in a year
Answer:
90 orders she would place in a year
Explanation:
The total annual cases of Stein soda that the manager buys are 1,440 cases. If she were to place 16 cases in a single order then we would divide the total cases bought in a year by the cases bought in a single order to determine the number of orders the manager would place in a year. As shown below:
No. of orders placed in a year = Annual Total Cases bought / Cases purchased in single order
No. of orders placed in a year = 1,440 / 16
No. of orders placed in a year = 90 orders
