Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The price elasticity of demand is -9.00.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

The table below shows the weekly demand for machine screws at the local hardware store.

Price (dollars per pack of 100 screws)   Quantity (packs of 100 screws)

                     $5.00                                                              0

                       4.50                                                              60

                       4.00                                                              120

                      3.50                                                               180

                      3.00                                                              240

                      2.50                                                               300

                      2.00                                                               360

                       1.50                                                               420

                       1.00                                                               480

                       0.50                                                              540

                        0.0                                                               600

Using the starting point method, what is the price elasticity of demand from a price of $4.50 to a price of $4.00 per pack of 100 screws:

The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:

New quantity = 120

Old quantity = 60

New price = $4.00

Old price = $4.50

Using the formula for calculating the starting point method for elasticity of demand, we have:

Price elasticity of demand = ((New quantity - Old quantity) / (New price - Old price)) * (Old price / Old quantity) = ((120 - 60) / (4.00 - 4.50)) * (4.50 / 60) = -9.00

Therefore, the price elasticity of demand is -9.00.

Answer 2

The price elasticity of demand is -9.00.

Given information

New quantity = 120

Old quantity = 60

New price = $4.00

Old price = $4.50

Now, we will use the formula below for calculating the starting point method for elasticity of demand.

Price elasticity of demand = ((New quantity - Old quantity) / (New price - Old price)) * (Old price / Old quantity)

Price elasticity of demand = ((120 - 60) / (4.00 - 4.50)) * (4.50 / 60)

Price elasticity of demand = -9.00

In conclusion, the price elasticity of demand is -9.00.

The company produced 20,000 units, and sold 15,000 units, leaving 5,000 units in inventory at year-end. What is the value of ending inventory under absorption costing

Answers

Answer: $85,000

Explanation:

Find out the cost of per unit of inventory under absorption costing:

= Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable overhead + Fixed overhead per unit

= 4 + 2 + 3 + 160,000 / 20,000 units

= 4 + 2 + 3 + 8

= $17 per unit

If 5,000 units are left, the value of those units are:

= 5,000 * 17

= $85,000

According to the authors, price controls on water, designed to ensure that lower income people can afford water, have resulted in

Answers

Answer: a. a reduced supply of usable water

Explanation:

I am unsure as to the text being referred to but this should be the correct answer.

The market allocates resources efficiently based on price. This means that it sets the price such that people who can afford the goods are able to buy them. This ensures that not everybody gets the good and the good can be sustainably used.

If the government imposes price controls on a good as they did here. The market would be unable to efficiently allocate the water so more people than before would be able to access it. This would lead to the supply being used up so there will be a reduced supply of the good which in this case is water.

Andrews Corporation has income from operations of $240,000. In addition, it received interest income of $24,000 and received dividend income of $29,500 from another corporation. Finally, it paid $11,800 of interest income to its bondholders and paid $45,000 of dividends to its common stockholders. The firm's federal tax rate is 21%. What is the firm's federal income tax

Answers

Answer: $54,820.50

Explanation:

Federal income tax = Taxable income * tax rate

Taxable income = Income from operations + Interest income received + Dividend income received - Interest income paid

= 240,000 + 24,000 + (30% * 29,500) - 11,800

= $261,050

Federal income tax = 261,050 * 21%

= $54,820.50

Note: Only 30% of Dividends received are taxable

Freddy offers to supply water bottles to Jerry’s Gym at a cost of $40a case. The signed contract says that Jerry’s Gym will buy one case of water a month for 12 months. Three months into the contract, Freddy calls Jerry And tells Jerry that the price has gone up to $70a month because Freddy’s product is in such high demand. Jerry refuses to pay. Jerry finds a new supplier, Wally, who will provide one case of water for 9 months at a cost of $50a case. Jerry sues Freddy for breach of contract. What type of damages is Jerry’s Gym entitled to and how much money does Freddy have to pay Jerry’s Gym

Answers

Answer:

-jerry is entitled to monetary damages compensations due to a contract breach.

-Freddy has to pay Jerry $90

Explanation:

the damage that the gym is entitled to would be that of a contract breach. Freddy wanted to earn more money so he breached the contract. Now given that Jerry had to go with another supplier of water at a greater cost of 50 dollars for 9 months, just to satisfy his requirements. Freddy has to pay him monetary damages for this breach in contract.  he has to pay the difference that exists between the price in the contract they had and what jerry now has to pay due to the breach. The difference is 10 dollars, which is to be paid every month for 9 months

= (50 - 40)*9

= 10 * 9 = $90

g If there is a breach of contract, the objective of the remedy in the breach contract case will be to: Question 21 options: place the parties back into the position that they would have been in had there been no contract punish the party that committed breach of contract provide both parties relief place the non breaching party into the position that they would have been had the contract not been breached

Answers

Answer: place the non breaching party into the position that they would have been had the contract not been breached

Explanation:

A contract is meant to satisfy the reasons for which the contract was gone into for both parties. If one party breaches the contract, the party that did not breach should still have their reason for entering the contract satisfied because they did what they were supposed to do according to the contract.

This is why the purpose of a breach of contract remedy is to ensure that this non-breaching party does indeed get what was supposed to come to them by the contract.

There is a proverb​ "anything worth doing is worth doing​ well."   Do you think an economist would agree with this​ proverb? A. ​No, because doing something well has no next best alternatives with which to compare. B. ​Yes, because the marginal of extra effort is typically as effort increases. C. ​Yes, because doing something to the best of your ability is optimizing behavior. D. ​No, because the marginal cost of extra effort may be greater than the marginal benefit. E. ​, because the total net benefit of extra effort is by definition.

Answers

Answer:

D. ​No, because the marginal cost of extra effort may be greater than the marginal benefit.

Explanation:

Marginal cost can be defined as the additional or extra cost that is being incurred by a company as a result of the production of an additional unit of a product or service.

Generally, marginal cost can be calculated by dividing the change in production costs by the change in level of output or quantity.

Utility can be defined as any satisfaction or benefits a customer derives from the use of a product or service.

This ultimately implies that, any satisfaction or benefits a customer derives from the use of a product or service is generally referred to as a utility.

Furthermore, the marginal utility of goods and services is the additional satisfaction that a consumer derives from consuming or buying an additional unit of a good or service.

Hence, an economist wouldn't agree with the proverb (anything worth doing is worth doing well.) because the marginal cost of extra effort may be greater than the marginal benefit.

This ultimately implies that, the satisfaction that an individual such as an entrepreneur would derive from putting in more efforts into a business would be lesser than the cost incurred. As a result, he would not benefit anything or generate profit from his efforts.

Moonbeam Company manufactures toasters. For the first 8-months of 2017, the company reported the following operating results while operating at 75% of plant capacity:

Vaughn Manufacturing is unsure of whether to sell its product assembled or unassembled. The unit cost of the unassembled product is $24 and Vaughn would sell it for $51. The cost to assemble the product is estimated at $14 per unit and the company believes the market would support a price of $61 on the assembled unit. What decision should Vaughn make?

Answers

Answer:

Sell before assembly, The company will be better off by $4 Per Unit

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what decision should Vaughn make

PROFIT BEFORE ASSEMBLY

Profit = Sale price - Cost price

Profit= $51 - $24

Profit= $27 Per Unit

PROFIT AFTER ASSEMBLY

First step is calculate the Cost of Assembled Product

Cost of Assembled Product =$24 + $14

Cost of Assembled Product= $38 Per Unit

Now let determine the profit

Profit = Sale price - Cost price

Profit= $61 - $38

Profit = $23 Per Unit

Now let Determine what decision should Vaughn make

Hence, the Profit by selling assembled product is LOWER than selling the Unassembled product by :

$27 Per Unit - $23 Per Unit

= $4 Per Unit

Therefore the decision that Vaughn should make is: Sell before assembly, The company will be better off by $4 Per Unit

Answers

Answer:

1. Net present value of Project A = -41,449.96

2. Net present value of Project B = $143,746.85

3. I would recommend that company accept Project B.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete as the requirement are omitted. The requirements are therefore provided to complete the question before answering it as follows:

Perit Industries has $135,000 to invest. The company is trying to decide between two alternative uses of the funds. The alternatives are:

                                                                       Project A           Project B

Cost of equipment required                         $ 135,000                $ 0

Working capital investment required                 $ 0               $ 135,000

Annual cash inflows                                       $ 25,000           $ 63,000

Salvage value of equipment in six years        $ 9,800                $ 0

Life of the project 6 years 6 years

The working capital needed for project B will be released at the end of six years for investment elsewhere. Perit Industries’ discount rate is 17%.

Required:

1. Compute the net present value of Project A. (Enter negative values with a minus sign. Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

2. Compute the net present value of Project B. (Enter negative values with a minus sign. Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

3. Which investment alternative (if either) would you recommend that the company accept?

The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:

1. Compute the net present value of Project A. (Enter negative values with a minus sign. Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

Cost of equipment required = $135,000

Using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity, the present value (PV) of the annual cash inflows can be calculated as follows:

PV of annual cash inflow = Annual cash inflow * (1 - (1 / (1 + discount rate))^Project life) / discount rate) = $25,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.17))^6) / 0.17) = $89,729.62

The present value (PV) of the salvage value can be calculated as follows:

PV of salvage value = Salvage value / (1 + + discount rate)^Project life = $9,800 / (1 + 0.17)^6 = $3,820.42

Net present value of Project A = PV of annual cash inflow + PV of salvage value - Cost of equipment required = $89,729.62 + $3,820.42 - $135,000 = -41,449.96

2. Compute the net present value of Project B. (Enter negative values with a minus sign. Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

Working capital investment required = $135,000

Using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity, the present value (PV) of the annual cash inflows can be calculated as follows:

PV of annual cash inflow = Annual cash inflow * (1 - (1 / (1 + discount rate))^Project life) / discount rate) = $63,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.17))^6) / 0.17) = $226,118.64

The present value (PV) of the Working capital investment required can be calculated as follows:

PV of Working capital investment required = Working capital investment required / (1 + + discount rate)^Project life = $135,000 / (1 + 0.17)^6 = $52,628.21

Net present value of Project B = PV of annual cash inflow + PV of Working capital investment required - Working capital investment required = = $226,118.64 + $52,628.21 - $135,000 = $143,746.85

3. Which investment alternative (if either) would you recommend that the company accept?

From parts 1 and 2 above, we have:

Net present value of Project A = -41,449.96

Net present value of Project B = $143,746.85

Since the Net present value of Project A is negative, it should be rejected.

Since the Net present value of Project B is positive, it should be accepted.

Therefore, I would recommend that company accept Project B.

Pencils sell for 10 cents and pens sell for 50 cents. Suppose Jae, whose preferences satisfy all of the basic assumptions, is currently spending all his income on both goods. The marginal rate of substitution for pens to pencils is 5. In order to achieve optimum, what should he do

Answers

Answer:

Jae should do nothing and continue purchasing the same amount of pens and pencils.

Explanation:

The current rate of substitution that maximizes Jae's utility is Px / Py = 0.50 / 0.10 = 5. That means that Jae will purchase 5 pencils for every pen that he buys, and that is exactly what he is doing right now.

Dynamic Futon forecasts the following purchases from suppliers:
Jan. Feb. Mar. Apr. May Jun.
Value of goods ($ millions) 37 33 30 27 25 25
a. Sixty percent of goods are supplied cash-on-delivery. The remainder are paid with an average delay of 1 month. If Dynamic Futon starts the year with payables of $27 million, what is the forecasted level of payables for each month?
b. Suppose that, from the start of the year, the company stretches payables by paying 50% after 1 month and 20% after 2 months. (The remainder continue to be paid cash-on-delivery.) Recalculate payables for each month assuming that there are no cash penalties for late payment. Assume that Dynamic Futon didn't have any payable balance at the start of the year.

Explanation:

Travel expenses incurred by the sales department of a manufacturing company would be classified as: a. indirect labor b. manufacturing overhead c. a period cost d. a conversion cost e. a product cost

Answers

Answer:

c. a period cost

Explanation:

Option C, period cos is the correct answer because the period cost is not related to the production and manufacturing of the commodity. Rather it is the cost incurred outside the factory such as marketing expenses, travelling expenses, etc. Therefore, the option "period cost" is the correct answer.  

Travel expenses incurred by the sales department of a manufacturing company would be classified as: c. a period cost

Period costs are indirect costs incurred in the production of goods and services. These costs are not tied directly to production processes.

Unlike product costs that are assigned to one particular product, Period costs are not assigned to one particular product or the cost of inventory.

Period costs are also not included in the inventory valuation hence are treated as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

Other examples of Period costs includes: marketing expenses, indirect labor etc.

On January 1, 20X1 when the effective interest rate was 14%, a company issued bonds with a maturity value of $1,000,000. The stated rate of interest is 12%, the bonds pay interest semi-annually and sold for $893,640. The amount of bond discount amortized on July 1, 20X1 is approximately:__________.

Answers

Answer: $2,555

Explanation:

Bond discount amortization = Interest cost - Coupon payment

Coupon payment = Stated interest * Par value

= 12% * 1,000,000 * 6/12 months

= $60,000

Interest cost = Issue price * effective interest

= 893,640 * 14% * 6/12

= $62,554.80

Amortized amount:

= 62,554.80 - 60,000

= $2,554.80

= $2,555
