Answer:
Option a and b
Option C
Explanation:
A . In simple words, price control refers to the limits on the rates that can be paid for good and services produced in a marketplace that are set up and imposed by central govt.
The purpose behind these restrictions may derive from the need to preserve the availability of products even through skills shortages, and to further delay inflation, or, instead, to help ensure a guaranteed minimum income as well for manufacturers of such products or to seek to obtain a decent living wage.
B. In simple words, due to printing of new currency the supply of money ion the market would increase which will lead to inflation in the economy which will further lead to loss in value of the existing money in hand on the individuals.
Which of the following would shift the long-run aggregate supply curve right? a. both an increase in the capital stock and an increase in the price level b. an increase in the capital stock, but not an increase in the price level c. an increase in the money supply, but not an increase in the capital stock d. neither an increase in the money supply nor an increase in the capital stock
Answer:
b. an increase in the capital stock, but not an increase in the price level.
Explanation:
In order to understand both short-run economic fluctuations and how the economy movement from short to long run, we need the aggregate supply and aggregate demand model.
An increase in the capital stock, but not an increase in the price level would shift the long-run aggregate supply curve right.
The long-run aggregate supply curve would shift rightward when immigration from foreign countries rises or technology improves.
When the price level rises, the wealth effect and the interest-rate effect provide incentives for consumers to spend less. The price level of goods and services in an economy influences the exchange rate, imports and exports
Brownley Company has two service departments and two operating (production) departments. The Payroll Department services all three of the other departments in proportion to the number of employees in each. The Maintenance Department costs are allocated to the two operating departments in proportion to the floor space used by each. Listed below are the operating data for the current period: Service Depts. Production Depts. Payroll Maintenance Cutting Assembly Direct costs $ 20,400 $ 25,500 $ 76,500 $ 105,400 No. of personnel 15 15 45 Sq. ft. of space 10,000 15,000 The total cost of operating the Maintenance Department for the current period is:
Answer:
The total cost of operating the Maintenance Department for the current period is $29,580
Explanation:
In order to calculate The total cost of operating the Maintenance Department for the current period we would have to calculate first the Overhead allocated to Maintenance from Payroll department as follows:
Overhead allocated=Payroll overhead×(Maintenance payroll personnel/Total personnel)
Overhead allocated=$ 20,400×(15/15+15+45)
Overhead allocated=$4,080
Therefore, to calculate the The total cost of operating the Maintenance Department for the current period we would have to use the following formula:
Total cost of operating Maintenance Department=Overhead allocated+Direct overhead incurred
Total cost of operating Maintenance Department=$4,080+$25,500
Total cost of operating Maintenance Department=$29,580
The total cost of operating the Maintenance Department for the current period is $29,580
Scenario 28-1 Suppose that the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the entire adult population of Mankiwland can be categorized as follows: 25 million people employed, 3 million people unemployed, 1 million discouraged workers, and 1 million people who are either students, homemakers, retirees, or other people not seeking employment. Refer to Scenario 28-1. How many people are unemployed
Answer: 3 million.
Explanation:
Unemployment is defined as when a member of a Country's labor force is jobless but actively looking for work.
In the Scenario 28-1, the discouraged people are not counted as they are discouraged and not looking for work and 1 million other people being students and retirees amongst others are not looking for work either.
The unemployed section of Mankiwland is therefore the 3 million unemployed people.

Cully Furniture buys two products for resale: king beds (K) and queen beds (Q). Each king bed costs $500 and requires 100 cubic feet of storage space, and each queen bed costs $250 and requires 80 cubic feet of storage space. The company has $80,000 to invest in shelves this week, and the warehouse has 30,000 cubic feet available for storage. Profit for each king bed is $400 and for each queen bed is $200. 1). (10’) Please set up the LP model for the above situation.2). (20’) How many king beds (K) and how many queen bed (Q) should be purchased at optimal? 3). (10’) Whether we have slack or surplus variable applicable in this question? If we do, what is the value of slack (or/and surplus) variable? What is the meaning behind it?4). (10’) If the furniture company purchases no king beds and 300 queen beds, which resources will be completely used (at capacity)?
Answer:
1) 500K + 250Q ≤ 80,000
100K+80Q≤ 30,000
K≥0
Q≥0
P= 400K + 200Q
2) zero king beds and 320 queen beds
or zero queen beds and 160 king beds
3) surplus variable
surplus variable is storage space
values of surplus variable is 14,000 cubic feet if zero queen beds and 160 king beds
value of surplus variable is 4,400 cubic feet if zero king beds and 320 queen beds.
surplus is the extra amount available after all resources have been utilized to theri maximum.
4) none of the resources will be completely used. There will be surplus of both
Explanation:
1) Implicit variables: K≥0 ; Q ≥ 0
Explicit variables:
500K + 250Q ≤ 80,000-------------------------- from investment constraint
100K+80Q≤ 30,000 ---------------------- from storage space constraint
LP: P= 400K + 200Q
2) See the attachment for profit maximization graph
3) From graph in the attachment, it can be inferred that storage space is the surplus variable since graph of that equation lies completely outside of optimal area.
Also,
if K=160 and Q=0, the inequality of investment gives
500(160) + 250(0)= 80,000
if K=0 and Q=320, the inequality of investment gives
500(0)+ 250(320) =80,000
if K=0 and Q = 320, the inequality of space gives
100(0) + 80(320)= 25,600
surplus= 30,000- 25,600= 4,400
if K=160 and Q=0, the inequality of space gives
100(160) +250(0)= 16000
surplus= 30000-16000= 14000
4) K=0 and Q=300
investment inequality gives
500(0) + 250(300) ≤ 80,000
75,000≤ 80,000
space inequality gives
100(0) + 80(300) ≤ 30,000
24,000≤ 30,000
Both space and investment are in surplus

An acquisition premium gives the difference between the actual amount of money paid in acquiring a target firm and the estimated real value of obtaining the firm before the acquisition.
Acquisition premium are usually recorded on the balance sheet as "goodwill."
Assume that, on January 1, 2021, Sosa Enterprises paid $2,240,000 for its investment in 30,000 shares of Orioles Co. Further, assume that Orioles has 100,000 total shares of stock issued and estimates an eight-year remaining useful life and straight-line depreciation with no residual value for its depreciable assets.
At January 1, 2021, the book value of Orioles' identifiable net assets was $7,260,000, and the fair value of Orioles was $10,000,000. The difference between Orioles' fair value and the book value of its identifiable net assets is attributable to $1,950,000 of land and the remainder to depreciable assets. Goodwill was not part of this transaction. The following information pertains to Orioles during 2021:
Net Income $ 500,000 Dividends declared and paid $ 300,000 Market price of common stock on 12/31/2021 $ 80 /shareWhat amount would Sosa Enterprises report in its year-end 2021 balance sheet for its investment in Orioles Co.?
Answer:
Amount reported in the year-end 2021 is $2,270,375
Explanation:
[tex]\text{The percentage of investment in Orioles} = \frac{30000 \ shares }{100000 \ shares} = 30 \ percent.[/tex]
The difference between fair value and the book value attributable to depreciable assets = $10,000,000 -$7,260,000 -$1,950,000
=$790,000
Attributable to depreciation assets:
[tex]= \frac{790000}{8 \ years} \times 30 percent \\[/tex]
[tex]= 29625 dollars.[/tex]
Balance sheet for its investment in Orioles:
Particulars Amount
Cash paid to Orioles = $2,240,000

d. acknowledges that when retained earnings are used up as a source of equity, the cost of capital rises as new common stock is sold to support more growth.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option B: recognizes that the return from the last dollar of funds generated should be greater than or equal to the cost of the last dollar of funds raised.
Explanation:
To begin with, the concept of ''marginal cost of capital'' refers to the composite rate of return that is required by the shareholders and the debt-holders in order to establish a new investment in the actual company. Moreover, this type of cost relates to the weighted average cost of the last dollar of new capital raised by the company and is has the necessity of being greater than or at least equal to the cost of the last dollar of funds raised due to the fact that only in that way the investors will consider to invest again in a new project for the company.

Mills Corporation's balance sheet included the following information: Accounts Receivable $ 580,000 Less: Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 73,000 Accounts Receivable, Net of Allowance $ 507,000 If the Allowance account had a credit balance of $31,500 immediately before the year-end adjustment for bad debts and no accounts were written-off or allowed for during the year, what was the amount of Bad Debt Expense recognized during the year
Answer:
The amount of Bad Debt Expense recognized during the year is $41,500.
Explanation:
Bad debt expense is an estimate of the accounts receivable that is deemed uncollectible. At times, it is determined by percentage of credit method or aging method.
If the allowance account had an opening balance of $31,500 before adjustment and there was no rite-off during the period, with a closing balance of $73,000, the bad debt expense is simply the difference between the closing balance and the opening balance, that is , $73,000 - $31,500 = $41,500.
Blue Sky Company’s 12/31/15 balance sheet reports assets of $6,000,000 and liabilities of $2,400,000. All of Blue Sky’s assets’ book values approximate their fair value, except for land, which has a fair value that is $360,000 greater than its book value. On 12/31/15, Horace Wimp Corporation paid $6,120,000 to acquire Blue Sky. What amount of goodwill should Horace Wimp record as a result of this purchase?
Answer:
$2,160,000
Explanation:
Goodwill is the amount of excess consideration payment over net asset value of acquiring company. It is the net value of consideration payment and Fair value of net assets.
To calculate goodwill first we need to determine fair value of assets and Liabilities.
Total Fair value of Assets = $6,000,000 + $360,000 = $6,360,000
Liabilities = $2,400,000
Net Asset value = Assets - Liability = $6,360,000 - $2,400,000 = $3,960,000
Goodwill = Consideration - Net Asset Value = $6,120,000 - $3,960,000 = $2,160,000

Collapse question part (a) Calculate the profit margin. (Round answer to 1 decimal place, e.g. 15.2%.) Profit margin Enter percentages rounded to 1 decimal place %
Answer:
13.5%
Explanation:
Relevant data provided for computing the profit margin which is here below:-
Net Income = $175,000
Net Sales = $1,300,000
The computation of profit margin is shown below:-
Profit Margin = (Net Income ÷ Net Sales) × 100

= 13.5%
Therefore for computing the profit margin we simply applied the above formula.
A well-known financial writer argues that he can earn 148 percent per year buying wine by the case. Specifically, he assumes that he will consume one $12 bottle of fine Bordeaux per week for the next 12 weeks. He can either pay $12 per week or buy a case of 12 bottles today. If he buys the case, he receives a 9 percent discount and, by doing so, earns the 148 percent. Assume he buys the wine and consumes the first bottle today. Calculate the EAR.
Answer:
EAR = 148%
Explanation:
calculating the EAR ( applying the formula for present value of annuity )
cost of case = 12 * 12 * ( 1 - 0.09 ) = 131.04
Pv = 131.04
cost per case = $12
no of weeks = 12 weeks
rate of the wine per ( IRR ) = IRR(57;56;55;;;;1)= 1.76319
rate of the wine per week = 1.76319%
therefore EAR = ( 1 + 0.0176319) ^52 - 1 = 148.15% ≈ 148%

Answer:
For 6,800 units the the manufacturing overheads will be $ 3120
Explanation:
Particulars Average Cost per Unit
Direct materials $ 7.20
Direct labor $ 3.65
Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.70
Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 2.90
Total Manufacturing Costs $ 15.45
The Manufacturing Overheads = Variable manufacturing overhead + Fixed manufacturing overhead = $ 1.70 + $ 2.90 = $ 4.6 per unit
For 6,800 units the the manufacturing overheads will be 4.6 * 6,800=$ 3120
We calculate the manufacturing overheads for 6800 by multiplying it with the
manufacturing overheads per unit.

The Edwards Construction Supply Company is adopting a just-in-time inventory system. Jim Edwards, the president, has decided that restocking only when the inventory falls below a specific level will save the company thousands of dollars. Many of Edwards’ employees have been with the company for 30 years or more, and change like this might be unsettling for them. Edwards knows that his employees will be more comfortable with the system if their supervisors understand it fully. What purpose will this meeting serve?
Answer: To Provide a Smooth Transition
Explanation:
As the text mentions, many of Edwards’ employees who have been with the company for 30 years or more, might find change unsettling. However, they trust their supervisors enough to be comfortable if the Supervisors understand the new system.

Here the Edwards Company can explain in detail the new system so that the Supervisors can understand it thoroughly so that the employees might be able to follow them. Any questions or concerns can be dealt with which would make the transition smoother for the company and it's employees.

Exercise 24-5 Payback period computation; even cash flows LO P1 Compute the payback period for each of these two separate investments: A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $520,000 and have a useful life of six years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $150,000 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $10,000. A machine costs $380,000, has a $20,000 salvage value, is expected to last eight years, and will generate an after-tax income of $60,000 per year after straight-line depreciation.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the payback period is shown below:
1. Payback period = Initial investment ÷ Net cash flow
where,
Initial investment is $520,000
Net cash flow is = incremental after-tax income + depreciation expense
= $150,000 + $85,000
= $235,000
The depreciation expense is
= ($520,000 - $10,000) ÷ (6 years)
= $85,000
Now the payback period is
= $520,000 ÷ $235,000
= 2.21 years
2. Payback period = Initial investment ÷ Net cash flow
where,
Initial investment is $380,000
Net cash flow is = incremental after-tax income + depreciation expense
= $60,000 + $45,000
= $105,000
The depreciation expense is
= ($380,000 - $20,000) ÷ (8 years)
= $45,000
Now the payback period is
= $380,000 ÷ $105,000
= 3.62 years

oel purchased 100 shares of stock for $31 per share. During the year, he received dividend checks amounting to $202. Joel recently sold the stock for $58 per share. Joel is in a 35% tax bracket. He would pay $945 in taxes if he held the stock for less than a year. How much would Joel save in taxes if he held the stock for more than a year, assuming he sold it for the same amount?
Answer:
Joel would save tax of $540 if the stock was held for more than a year
Explanation:
If the stock is held for more than one year and then sold then the gain on sale would be long term capital gain
The long term capital gain would be charged at preferential rate of 15%
Calculate long term capital gain tax on sale
Long term capital gain (Sale price - Purchase price)*No of shares
Long term capital gain (58-31)*100
Long term capital gain $2700
Tax on long term capital gain 2700*15%
Tax on long term capital gain $405
Savings in tax 945 - 405
Savings in tax $540
Thus, Joel would save tax of $540 if the stock was held for more than a year

payroll taxes should be:
social security $110,000 x 6% = $6,600
Medicare $110,000 x 1.5% = $1,650
federal unemployment $25,000 x 0.8% = $200
state unemployment $25,000 x 5.4% = $1,350
total = $9,800
Both employees and employers must pay equal amounts of FICA taxes (social security and medicare), but only employees pay unemployment taxes.
