Select the statement that best describes money's function as a standard of deferred payment.
a. The purchasing power of a currency is relatively stable over time
b. A currency is widely accepted in exchange for goods and services and therefore makes economic transactions easier.
c. A currency can be used to express the value goods and services that are both relatively expensive and goods and services that are relatively cheap.
d. People are willing to accept a currency in the future as compensation for debts accrued earlier
Answer:
d. People are willing to accept a currency in the future as compensation for debts accrued earlier
Explanation:
Money can be used to pay your current debts at a later date since $100 will still be $100 in the future. They might lose some of its value due to inflation, but they do not spoil or rot, and will probably be accepted in the future. imagine trying to pay an old debt with rotten tomatoes or an old cow.
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.

Determine the likely impact of a 3 percent decline in global income on the overall demand of your product.
a. Demand will decline by approximately 0.1%, but since income elasticity isn't significantly different from zero, it likely won't fall at all.
b. Demand will fall by nearly 10%, and income elasticity is significantly less than zero.
c. Demand will fall by nearly 1%, and income elasticity is significantly less than zero.
d. Demand will decline by approximately 3%, but since income elasticity isn't significantly different from zero, it likely won't fall at all.
Answer:
lnQ=C 1.29 + -0.07 lnP + -0.03 lnM
c. Demand will fall by nearly 1% and income elasticity is significantly less than zero.
Explanation:
Income elasticity is a major factor which impact the demand of a product. It measures the change in quantity demanded due to change in income. In the given scenario the demand for product will decline due to change in income. The income elasticity is smaller there will not be major change in demand but there will be some impact observed on the quantity demanded.
North Pole Toys needs to decide on their newest product line for Christmas. They narrowed their options to two possibilities: Product A would incur a fixed cost of $3,000 and a variable cost of $6 per unit and sells for $7.50; Product B would incur a fixed cost of $1,200 and a variable cost of $9 per unit and sells for $10.
A. What is the break-even point for each of the two products?
B. What is the point of indifference between the two products?
Answer:
A-1. Product A break-even point = 2,000 units
A.2. Product A break-even point = 1,200 units
B. Point of indifference between the two products = 600 units
Explanation:
A. What is the break-even point for each of the two products?
Break-even point which is the point at which the total cost of production of a product is equal to the total revenue of the product can be calculated using the following formula:
Break-even point = Fixed cost / (Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit) ........ (1)
Using equation (1), we have:
A-1. Product A break-even point = $3,000 / ($7.50 - $6) = 2,000 units
A.2. Product A break-even point = $1,200 / ($10 - $9) = 1,200 units
B. What is the point of indifference between the two products?
Point of indifference between the two products which is the point at which the total costs of the two products are the same can be calculated as follows:
Differential fixed cost = Product A fixed cost - Product B fixed cost = $3,000 - $1,200 = $1,800
Differential variable cost per unit = Product B fixed cost variable cost per unit - Product A variable cost per unit = $9 - $6 = $3
Point of indifference between the two products = Differential fixed cost / Differential variable cost per unit = $1,800 / $3 = 600 units
Note: To obtain any of the two differentials, the lower must be deducted from the higher as done above.
The Allied Corporation analyzes a project that requires an immediate investment of $440. Allied estimates that at the end of the first year the project will generate a cash flow of $660, but that at the end of the second year, when the project ends, it will generate a negative cash flow of $85. The project's required rate of return is estimated to be 7.50%. Calculate the NPV of Allied's project.
Answer:
NPV = $100.4002 rounded off to $100.40
Explanation:
The NPV or net present value is the present value of a project or business's cash flows which are calculated by deducting the cash outflows from the cash inflows. NPV is a tool or criteria used for investment and project appraisal. The NPV can be calculated as follows,
NPV = CF1 / (1+r) + CF2 / (1+r)^2 + .... + CFn / (1+r)^n - Initial Outlay
Where,
CF1, CF2, ... represents the cash flows in Year 1, Year 2 and so on.r represents the discount rateNPV = 660 / (1+0.075) + [ -85 / (1+0.075)^2] - 440
NPV = $100.4002 rounded off to $100.40
You are considering a project in Honduras that would generate 1.5 million dollars in cash flows per year going forever. The cost of the project is 8 million dollars. The discount rate for the project is 12%. You believe that there is some probability of expropriation prior to the 4th year (after the 3rd cash flow). Which of the following fully describes when this is a good project?
a. This is a good project if the probability of expropriation is larger than 0.33
b. This is a good project if the probability of expropriation is smaller than 0.33
c. This is a good project if the probability of expropriation is smaller than 0.5
d. This is a good project if the probability of expropriation is smaller than 0.66 7.
Answer:
c. This is a good project if the probability of expropriation is smaller than 0.5
Explanation:
initial outlay = $8,000,000
if no expropriation, NPV = -$8,000,000 + $1,500,000/0.12 = $4,500,000
if the risk of expropriation is 0.33:
NPV = $925,211
if the risk of expropriation is 0.5:
NPV = -$425,265
the breakeven risk = 44.6%
iRobot Company is analyzing two machines to determine which one it should purchase. Whichever machine is purchased will be replaced at the end of its useful life. The company requires a 14 percent rate of return and uses straight-line depreciation to a zero book value over the life of the machine. Machine A has a cost of $487,000, annual operating costs of $29,000, and a 6-year life. Machine B costs $315,000, has annual operating costs of $51,200, and a 4-year life. The firm currently pays no taxes. Which machine should be purchased and why
Answer:
Machine A should be purchased because it has a lower equivalent annual cost . Hence, it is cheaper.
Explanation:
Equivalent Annual cost is the Present Value of the total cost over the investment period divided by the appropriate annuity factor.
Step 1 : Equivalent Annual cost of Machine A
PV of cash flows
PV of purchase cost = 487,000
PV of annual operating cost of $29,000
= 29,000× (1-(1+0.14)^(-6))/0.14
= 112,771.35
Total PV = 487,000 + 112,771.35= 599,771.35
Equivalent annual cost = 599,771.35 /3.889
Equivalent annual cost = 154,235.70
Step 2: Equivalent Annual cost of Machine B
PV of purchase cost = 315,000
PV of annual operating cost of $51,200
= 51,200× (1-(1+0.14)^(-4))/0.14
= 149,182.07
Total PV = 315,000+ 149,182.07
= 464,182.07
Equivalent annual cost = 464,182.07/2.9137
Equivalent annual cost = 159,309.51
Step 3: Compare equivalent Annual cost
Comparing the two equivalent costs, we conclude that Machine A should be purchased because it has a lower equivalent annual cost and therefore it is cheaper.
Corruptco is a large machine shop that fabricates metals. Corruptco maximizes profits and shareholder value by polluting the local river, where fish are often killed off due to the pollution, rather than installing a pollution abatement device. While this is not specifically in violation of the law, it does put burdens on the local community. Which theory of corporate social responsibility is Corruptco exhibiting
Answer: a. the narrow view, or invisible hand theory
Explanation:
When it comes to the narrow view theory of corporate social responsibility, companies put one thing above all else, the maximisation of shareholder wealth.
Any activity that would help them do so - legally - is considered fair game even if it leads to adverse effects. Corruptco is therefore adhering to this theory because they are polluting the the local river to maximize shareholder value.

The following cost behavior patterns describe anticipated manufacturing costs for 2019: raw material, $7.50/unit; direct labor, $10.50/unit; and manufacturing overhead, $297,500 $8.50/unit. Required: If anticipated production for 2019 is 35,000 units, calculate the unit cost using variable costing and absorption costing. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Unit cost
$
Variable costing 18
Absorption costing 26.5
Explanation:
Variable costing values every unit produced at the marginal cost. Marginal cost is the sum of direct material, direct labor and variable overhead.
Marginal cost = 7.50 + 10.50 =$18
Absorption costing values every unit at full cost. Full cost is the sum of marginal and fixed overhead cost per unit,
Fixed overhead cost per unit = $297,500/35,000=8.5
Full cost = 7.50 + 10.50 + 8.50= $26.5
Unit cost

Suppose your salary in 2016 is $30,000. Assuming an annual inflation rate of 3%, what salary do you need to earn in 2022 in order to have the same purchasing power
Answer:
$35821.5
Explanation:
Using compound formula
A= P( 1+ r/ n)^ nt
A= amount
t= time period
n=Number of years
2016----2022= 6years
Substitute for the values we have
A= $30,000[ 1+ (3/100)/1]^ (6)
A= $35821.5
Hence, salary you need to earn in 2022 in order to have the same purchasing power is $35821.5

Brent is a full-time exempt employee in Clark County, Indiana. He earns an annual salary of $39,360 and is paid semimonthly. He is married with 3 withholding allowances. His state income tax is $52.97, and Clark County income tax is $29.52 per pay period. What is the total of FICA, Federal, state, and local deductions per pay period, assuming no Pre-Tax Deductions
Answer:
Federal Income tax ⇒ $80FICA ⇒ $125.46 State income tax ⇒ $52.97Local deduction - Clark County Income tax ⇒ $29.52Explanation:
Brent gets paid semi-monthly so his pay per period is:
= 39,360 / (12 months *2)
= $1,640
Based on the table therefore, his federal tax is:
= $80
This figure is based on the intersection between income of $1,640 and 3 withholding allowances.
FICA tax rate is 7.65% so his FICA tax is:
= 1,640 * 7.65%
= $125.46
State income tax = $52.97
Local deduction - Clark County Income tax = $29.52
Total deductions:
= Federal tax + FICA + State income tax + Clark County income tax
= 80 + 125.46 + 52.97 + 29.52
= $287.95

Dr Cash $18,200
Cr Lease Revenue $1,801
Cr Lease Receivable $16,399
Explanation:
1. Calculation to Show how International Machines determined the $18,200 quarterly lease payments
First step is to find the Present value of annuity at period start
Lease term=n = 2 x 4 quarters
Lease term=n= 8 periods
Fair value of asset = $138,287
Implicit interest rate, i = 6%, quarterly rate = 6%/4 Implicit interest rate= 1.5%
Present value of annuity at period start at 1.5%, 8 periods
Present value of annuity at period start = 7.5982
Now let determine the quarterly payments
Quarterly payments= $138,287/7.5982
Quarterly payments = $18,200 per quarter
Therefore the quarterly lease payments is $18,200
2) Preparation of the appropriate entries for International Machines to record the lease at its beginning, January 1, 2021, and the second lease payment on April 1, 2021.

(To record lease at its beginning)
1-Apr-21
Dr Cash $18,200
Cr Lease Revenue $1,801
Cr Lease Receivable $16,399
(To record second lease payment)
Calculation of lease revenue as on April 1, 2021
Lease revenue = ($138,287 – $18,200) x 1.5%
Lease revenue= $120,087×1.5%
Lease revenue= $1,801
Lease receivable = $18,200 – $1,801
Lease receivable = $16,399

a. $2,300.
b. $990.
c. $6,500.
d. $690.
e. $1,020 .
2. Using ABC, overhead cost assigned to Job #971 for machine repair is:____.
a. $2,300.
b. $990.
c. $6,500.
d. $690.
e. $1,020.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the allocation rates:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Machine setup= 21,600/540= $40 per setup
Machine repair= 1,260/31,500= $0.04 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate costs to Job 971:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Ms. T. Potts, the treasurer of Ideal China, has a problem. The company has just ordered a new kiln for $464,000. Of this sum, $58,000 is described by the supplier as an installation cost. Ms. Potts does not know whether the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will permit the company to treat this cost as a tax-deductible current expense or as a capital investment. In the latter case, the company could depreciate the $58,000 straight-line over 5 years. The tax rate is 30% and the opportunity cost of capital is 5%.
a. What is the present value of the cost of the kiln if the installation cost is treated as a separate current expense?
b. What is the present value of the cost of the kiln if the installation cost is treated as a part of the capital investment?
Answer:
Ideal China
a) The present value of the cost of the kiln if the installation cost is treated as a separate current expense is:
= $318,304.
b) The present value of the cost of the kiln if the installation cost is treated as a part of the capital investment is:
= $363,776.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Present value factor for 5 years at 5% = 0.784
Cost of new kiln = $464,000
Installation cost = $58,000
Present value of the cost of the kiln if the installation cost is treated as a separate current expense = $406,000 * 0.784 = $318,304
Present value of the cost of the kiln if the installation cost is treated as a part of the capital investment = $464,000 * 0.784 = $363,776

How and why would the accounting profession use the results of behavioural research in accounting
Answer:
Behavioral accounting is a subset of accounting that, in addition to accounting expertise, is concerned with behavior. It is concerned with people's attitudes and behaviors when confronted with an accounting phenomenon, which defines the actions that they will exhibit in decisionmaking. This accounting specialization addresses issues such as human informationprocessing activity, judgement accuracy, accounting problems caused by accounting information users and suppliers, and accounting information users' and producers' decisionmaking skills.
Behavioral psychology seeks to understand how people make choices, communicate with others, and affect economies and societies. The impact of accounting knowledge on conduct, administrative management (budget engagement, nonfinancial interventions, leadership, and balanced scorecard), auditing (auditorclient negotiations, auditor's judgement, and decisionmaking), and ethics (ethical decisionmaking, ethical orientation, and rationalizations for unethical behavior) are all included under the Behavioral accounting definition.
The accounting profession use the results of behavioural research in accounting so that they can understand the behaviour of different entities like a consumer or a retailer and use that in the accounting so that it can help in making a better conclusion.
What is research ?Research is a defined as the whole process of making hypothesis, collection of data; and analysis and interpretation of that data/information, in accordance with suitable methodologies and drawing the conclusion.
Behavioral research tries to find out how individuals make decisions, interact and influence other individuals, organizations, markets, and society. Behavioral research about individuals like consumers is used in accounting to analyze and study about the outcome or result like profits.
So we can say that behavioural research plays an important role in analyzing the data and for drawing the conclusion in accounting.

The Bell Weather Co. is a new firm in a rapidly growing industry. The company is planning on increasing its annual dividend by 15 percent a year for the next 4 years and then decreasing the growth rate to 6 percent per year. The company just paid its annual dividend in the amount of $2.90 per share. What is the current value of one share of this stock if the required rate of return is 8.40 percent
Answer:
$130.97
Explanation:
The value of the firm can be determined by finding the present value of the dividend payments using the two stage dividend growth model
In the 2 stage dividend growth model, dividend is characterised by a fast growth. After this stage , growth in dividend becomes stable
Present value in the first year = (2.90 x 1.15) / 1.084 = $3.08
Present value in the second year = (2.90 x 1.15²) / 1.084² = $3.26
Present value in the third year = (2.90 x 1.15³) / 1.084³ = $3.46
Present value in the fourth year = (2.90 x [tex]1.15^{4}[/tex]) / [tex]1.084^{4}[/tex] = $3.67
Present value in the second stage = ($3.67 x 1.06) / (0.084 - 0.06) = $162.24
$162.24 / [tex]1.084^{4}[/tex] = $117.50
The value of the stock = sum of present values in the first stage of growth + present value in the second stage of growth
$3.08 + $3.26 + $3.46 + $3.67 + $117.50 = $130.97
For February, sales revenue is $700,000, sales commissions are 5% of sales, the sales manager's salary is $96,000, advertising expenses are $90,000, shipping expenses total 2% of sales, and miscellaneous selling expenses are $2,500 plus 1/2 of 1% of sales.

Salary of sales manager = $96,000
Advertising expenses = $90,000
Shipping expenses = $14,000 (2% of $ 700,000)
Miscellaneous selling expenses = $6,000
($ 2,500 add 1/2 * 1% * $ 700,000)

Income tax (21%) 66,458
After-tax income $249,998
equivalent to $250,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
CLIFF CONSULTING
Contribution Income Statement
For the Year Ended September 30
Sales revenue $ 1,200,000
Variable costs
Cost of services $ 480,000
Selling and administrative 60,000 540,000
Contribution margin 660,000
Fixed Costs -selling and administrative 440,000
Before-tax profit 220,000
Income taxes (21%) 46,200
After-tax profit $ 173,800
Break-even point in sales revenue = Fixed costs/Contribution margin ratio
= $440,000/0.55
= $800,000
Annual margin of safety = normal sales revenue minus break-even sales revenue
= $1,200,000 - $800,000
= $400,000
Contribution margin ratio = contribution margin/sales revenue * 100
= $660,000/$1,200,000 * 100 = 55%
If fixed costs increases by $80,000, the break-even point in sales revenue
= ($440,000 + $80,000)/0.55 = $520,000/0.55 = $945,455
To achieve after-tax net income of $250,000, the required dollar sales revenue:
Net income after-tax = $250,000
Tax rate = 21%
Net income before tax = $250,000/1-21%
= $250,000/0.79 = $316,456
Sales dollars to achieve target profit = (Fixed costs + Target Profit/1 - 0.21)/Contribution margin
= ($440,000 + ($250,000/0.79))/0-55
= ($440,000 + $316,456)/0.55
= $756,456/0.55
= $1,375,375
Abbreviated Contribution Income Statement
Sales revenue $1,375,375
Variable costs = 618,919
Contribution = $756,456
Fixed costs 440,000
Before tax income 316,456
Income tax (21%) 66,458
After-tax income $249,998
After-tax income is equivalent to $250,000
