Answer: When total surplus gets maximized, then economy meet economic efficiency.
Explanation:
Economic efficiency is described as a thinking that there is one possible way to make situation better by imposing a cost on another.
Total surplus is described as the sum of producer and consumer surplus.
It gets maximized in a perfect competition (hit free-market equilibrium).
i.e. It gets maximized when both consumer and producer surplus is maximum, and then the economy meet economic efficiency.
The following information pertains to Hopson Co.'s pension plan: Actuarial estimate of projected benefit obligation at 1/1/13 $72,000 Assumed discount rate 10% Service costs for 2013 $28,000 Pension benefits paid during 2013 $15,000 If no change in actuarial estimates occurred during 2013, Hopson's projected benefit obligation at December 31, 2013 was
Answer:
$92,200
Explanation:
Calculation for Hopson's projected benefit obligation at December 31, 2015
Using this formula
Projected benefit obligation=Actuarial estimate of projected benefit obligation + Service costs +(Actuarial estimate of projected benefit obligation × Discount rate)- Pension benefit
Let plug in the formula
Projected benefit obligation= $72,000 + $28,000 + ($72,000 × .10) -$15,000
Projected benefit obligation=$72,000 + $28,000 + $7,200-$15,000
Projected benefit obligation= $107,200-$15,000
Projected benefit obligation=$92,200
Therefore Hopson's projected benefit obligation at December 31, 2015 will be $92,200

Estimated sales volume and the unit selling price of the valve for the next 4 years is given below: Year Sales volume (units) Unit selling price Year 1 40,000 $80.00 Year 2 50,000 $75.00 Year 3 35,000 $50.00 Year 4 25,000 $45.00 What is the allowable unit cost of a hydraulic valve using the target costing model
Answer:
Allowable unit cost of a hydraulic valve using the target costing model = 52.4
Explanation:
Given that:
Simon Corporation manufactures hydraulic valves. The product life of a valve is 4 years.
Target average profit margin for Simon 20.00%
The company does not expect the manufacturing cost to vary over the next 4 years
Estimated sales volume and the unit selling price of the valve for the next 4 years is given below:
Year Sales volume (units) Unit selling price
Year 1 40,000 $80.00
Year 2 50,000 $75.00
Year 3 35,000 $50.00
Year 4 25,000 $45.00
The objective is to determine the allowable unit cost of a hydraulic valve using the target costing model.
The Cost for each unit selling price can be calculated as:
= unit selling price - (Target average profit margin × unit selling price)
For Year 1
= $80.00- (0.2 × $80.00)
= $80.00 - $16.00
= $64.00
For Year 2
= $75.00 - ( 0.2 × $75.00)
= $75.00 - ( $15.00)
= $60.00
Year 3
= $50.00 - (0.2× $50.00)
= $50.00 - $10.00
= $40.00
Year 4
= $45.00 - (0.2 × $45.00)
=$45.00 - $9.00
= $36.00
Year Sales volume Unit Cost Cost per Unit
(units) selling price
Year 1 40,000 $80.00 $64.00 $2560000
Year 2 50,000 $75.00 $60.00 $3000000
Year 3 35,000 $50.00 $40.00 $1400000
Year 4 25,000 $45.00 $36.00 $900000
Total: 150000 $7860000
Allowable unit cost = Total cost/Total number of unit cost
Allowable unit cost = $7860000/150000
Allowable unit cost = 52.4

Jerry, a partner with 30 percent capital and profits interest, received his Schedule K-1 from Plush Pillows, LP. At the beginning of the year, Jerry's tax basis in his partnership interest was $44,000. His current-year Schedule K-1 reported an ordinary loss of $9,000, long-term capital gain of $4,600, qualified dividends of $3,600, $2,100 of non-deductible expenses, a $26,000 cash contribution, and a reduction of $5,600 in his share of partnership debt. What is Jerry's adjusted basis in his partnership interest (outside basis) at the end of the year
Answer: $61,500
Explanation:
Jerry's adjusted basis in his partnership interest at the end of the year is determined by adding his cash contributions, long-term capital gain, and qualified dividends to the original tax basis.
There will also be deductions of the non-deductible expenses, ordinary loss and his share of the reduction in partnership debt.
Jerry's adjusted basis at the end of the year = ( 44,000 + 26,000 + 3,600 4,600) - ( 2,100 + 9,000 + 5,600)
= 78,200 - 16,700
= $61,500
What is the expected return if a firm has a payout ratio of 0.4, a return on equity of 25%, and a dividend yield of 15%
Answer:
The expected return on stock is 30%
Explanation:
Growth rate = Return on Equity * Retention ratio
Growth rate = Return on Equity * (1- Payout ratio)
Growth rate = 25% * (1 - 0.40)
Growth rate = 0.25 * 0.60
Growth rate = 0.15
Growth rate = 15%
Hence, Expected return = Dividend return + Growth rate
Expected return = 15% + 15%
Expected return = 30%
Therefore, the expected return on stock is 30%

Radison Enterprises sells a product for $102 per unit. The variable cost is $58 per unit, while fixed costs are $758,912. Determine (a) the break-even point in sales units and (b) the break-even point if the selling price were increased to $107 per unit.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Radison Enterprises sells a product for $102 per unit.
The variable cost is $58 per unit, while fixed costs are $758,912.
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 758,912 / (102 - 58)
Break-even point in units= 17,248 units
Now, the selling price is $107:
Break-even point in units= 758,912 / (107 - 58)
Break-even point in units= 15,488 units

Suppose that a worker in Boatland can produce either 5 units of wheat or 25 units of fish per year, and a worker in Farmland can produce either 25 units of wheat or 5 units of fish per year. There are 30 workers in each country. No trade occurs between the two countries. Boatland produces and consumes 75 units of wheat and 375 units of fish per year while Farmland produces and consumes 375 units of wheat and 75 units of fish per year. If trade were to occur, Boatland would trade 90 units of fish to Farmland in exchange for 80 units of wheat. If Boatland now completely specializes in fish production, how many units of fish could it now consume along with the 80 units of imported wheat?
Answer:
660 units of fish
Explanation:
Boatland's production = 150 units of wheat or 750 units of fish
opportunity cost of producing fish = 150/750 = 0.2 units of wheat
opportunity cost of producing wheat = 750/150 = 5 units of fish
Farmland's production = 750 units of wheat or 150 units of fish
opportunity cost of producing fish = 750/150 = 5 units of wheat
opportunity cost of producing wheat = 150/750 = 0.2 units of fish
If Boatland trades 90 units of fish in exchange for 80 units of wheat, its remaining production will be = 750 (maximum possible production of fish) - 90 (units traded) = 660 units of fish

Discuss the negative consequences that arise when auditors fail to identify and report going-concern problems.
Answer:
Consequences arising when auditors fail to identify and report on going-concern problems:
1. The purpose of the audit is defeated.
2. Credibility in the audit process and opinion is eroded.
3. Confidence in the efficiency of market information is shattered.
4. Investors and the general public are misinformed and misled.
5. More governmental oversight and regulations will be required.
6. The auditors involved may have their licenses withdrawn and the audit firm could be closed like Arthur Andersen.
Explanation:
For instance, Company A's auditors are always expected to identify and report on going-concern issues of the company. Failure to identify and report on problems affecting going-concern means that Company A could be at the risk of liquidation and auditors still report it as if it were continuing in business for the next foreseeable future. That means that Company A's assets and liabilities are reported in the Balance Sheet as if the business could continue indefinitely, whereas the assets and liabilities should have been reported on a sale-out basis.
The auditors involved in making the wrong conclusion about Company A will be sued with huge damages and their license may be withdrawn, assuming that Company A is unable to survive the next 12 months after being reported on by the auditors.
Norwood, Inc. signs a , %, sixmonth note dated November 1, 2018. The interest expense recorded for this note in 2018 will be ________. (Do not round any intermediate calculations, and round your final answer to the nearest dollar.)
Answer:
Norwood Company
Norwood Company signs a $11,000, 8.5%, six-month note dated November 1, 2018. The interest expense recorded for this note in 2018 will be ___$156_____. (Do not round any intermediate calculations, and round your final answer to the nearest dollar.)
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Note Payable = $11,000
Interest rate = 8.5%
Interest expense for a year = 8.5% of $11,000 = $935
Interest expense for 2 months (from November to December) = $935/12 * 2 = $156
b) Interest expense represents the annual expense that must be incurred for the use of resources which the Norwood, Inc. obtained through the signing of the six month note. Interest on notes are computed based on an annual basis unless otherwise stated. The 8.5% is per annum. So, when the interest and principal are being repaid in six month's time, Norwood, Inc. should have accrued interest for six months, which will amount to $467.

SkyChefs, Inc., prepares in-flight meals for a number of major airlines. One of the company’s products is grilled salmon with new potatoes and mixed vegetables. During the most recent week, the company prepared 4,800 of these meals using 2,350 direct labor-hours. The company paid its direct labor workers a total of $23,500 for this work, or $10.00 per hour. According to the standard cost card for this meal, it should require 0.50 direct labor-hours at a cost of $9.40 per hour. Required: 1. What is the standard labor-hours allowed (SH) to prepare 4,800 meals? 2. What is the standard labor cost allowed (SH × SR) to prepare 4,800 meals? 3. What is the labor spending variance? 4. What is the labor rate variance and the labor efficiency variance?
Answer:Please find answers in the explanation column
Explanation:
a)standard labor-hours allowed (SH) to prepare 4,800 meals
standard labor-hours =Actual output X standard direct labor hours
4,800 X 0.50 = 2,400hours
B) standard labor cost allowed
direct labor-hours per houR = $9.40
standard labor-hours = 2,400
standard labor cost =direct labor-hours per houR xstandard labor hours
= $9.40 x 2,400= $22,560
c) labor spending variance= Actual cost incurred - Standard Labor cost
= 23,500 - 22,560= 940 -- Which is unfavorable because the actual is cost is greater than the standard labor cost
D)the labor rate variance and the labor efficiency variance?
labor rate variance= (Actual rate - standard rate ) X Actual hours
($10.00 -$9.40) X 2,350= $1,410
Labor efficiency variance=(Actual hrs - standard hrs allowed) x standard rate
2,350- 2,400) X $9.40= $470 --- Favourable as the actual hours used is less than the standard hours .
The manager of a savings and loan branch wants to estimate the average amount held in passbook savings accounts by the branch bank depositors. A random sample of 25 depositors is selected, and the results indicate a sample average of $4,750 and a sample standard deviation of $1,200. Given the 95% confidence interval estimates calculated above, if an individual had $4,000 ina passbook savings account, is this considered unusual?
a. Yes
b. Maybe
c. Do not know
d. No
Answer:
Correct answer:
d. No
Explanation:
This is because, from the random sample that was done, it shows that the average money held by customers falls within $3550 - $5950 which averages $4750 (Factoring in the standard deviation of $1200). Therefore, it is not considered unusual if an individual had $4000 since it falls within the range of amount held by most depositors and customers of the said bank.

The United States experiences a trade surplus when its exports to Europe is higher than the imports from Europe, whether it is for goods, services, or investments.
On the other hand, the United States will experience a trade deficit when its imports from Europe are more than its export to Europe.
The US and Europe will have some advantages and disadvantages to having a trade deficit or surplus. When the US experiences a surplus, the exchange rate between the two continents increases in favor of the US. However, there will a reduction of the competitiveness of the US exports as higher prices will be incurred by Europe for US exports.
A person who enters into a contract when he or she is intoxicated can void the contract if the terms are obviously favorable to the other party.
a. true
b. false

A publishing company sells 1,250,000 copies of certain books each year. It costs the company $1 to store each book for a year. Each time it must print additional copies, it costs the company $250 to set up the presses. How many books should the company produce during each printing in order to minimize its total storage and setup costs
Answer:
The Company should produce 25,000 books
Explanation:
The production size that minimizes total storage and setup costs is known as the optimum batch size.
Optimum batch size = √(2 × Annual Production Demand × Set up Cost) / Storage Cost per unit
= √ (2 × 1,250,000 × $250) / $1
= 25,000 books
Conclusion :
The Company should produce 25,000 books during each printing in order to minimize its total storage and setup costs.

Explanation:
A coworker of Connor's recommends that she maximize the shelf space devoted to those drinks with the highest contribution margin per case. Do you agree with this recommendation? Explain briefly.
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Ultimately I agree with the recommendation that has been given by Connor's coworker. By maximizing the shelf space specifically devoted to these drinks it will cause two things to happen. First, customers will mostly notice those drinks which will entice them to buy those drinks instead of the ones they cannot see. The second is that since customers are buying more of these drinks, the increase in sales will also increase profits, but since these items contribution margins are significantly higher than the others, it will cause profits to drastically increase.
