Answer:
The marginal propensity to consume = 0.25
Explanation:
Given:
Planned expenditure = 14,000
Consumption expenditure = 450
New consumption expenditure = 400
New planned expenditure = 13,800
Find:
The marginal propensity to consume
Computation:
The marginal propensity to consume = [Consumption expenditure - New consumption expenditure] / [Planned expenditure - New planned expenditure]
The marginal propensity to consume = [450 - 400] / [14,000 - 13,800]
The marginal propensity to consume = 50 / 200
The marginal propensity to consume = 0.25
A production process has six subsequent stages, each with their own specific resources and performing crucial tasks. Four of these stages have a capacity of 20 units per hour, while the other two stages have a capacity of 10 units per hour. What is the best conclusion?
Answer: Both stages with a capacity of 10 units per hour can be considered bottlenecks.
Explanation:
From the information given in the question, the best conclusion is that both stages with a capacity of 10 units per hour can be considered the bottlenecks.
It should be noted that the bottleneck in the chain of processes, is the one that has the limited capacity and this then reduces the capacity of the whole chain and slows down production.
What is the loan amount if the interest rate is 7.5% per year and the monthly interest payment is $1,250?
Answer:
The amount of the loan was $ 13,953.48.
Explanation:
To determine what is the loan amount if the interest rate is 7.5% per year and the monthly interest payment is $ 1,250, the following calculation must be performed:
1250 x 12 = 15,000
1,075X = 15,000
X = 15,000 / 1,075
X = 13,953.48
Therefore, the amount of the loan was $ 13,953.48.
The parts can be purchased from an outside supplier for only $28 each. The space in which the parts are now produced would be idle and fixed production costs would be reduced by one-fourth. If the parts are purchased from the outside supplier, the annual impact on the company's operating income will be:________
a) $24,000 increase
b) $24,000 decrease
c) $56,000 increase
d) $56,000 decrease
Answer:
d) $56,000 decrease
Explanation:
In the case when parts are produced by sharp corporation
Given that
Total cost per unit = $36
Total cost = Total cost per unit × parts
= $36 × 8,000
= $288,000
Now
If the parts are Purchased by the outside supplier, fixed costs decreased by one-fourth.
So, three-fourth fixed costs should be incurred.
Now
Total cost per unit = Purchase Price + three - fourth fixed costs
= $28 + (3 ÷4) × $20
= $28 + $15
= $43
Now
Total cost = $43 × 8,000
= $344,000
So, the operating income is
= $288,000 - $344,000
= $56,000 decrease
Suppose a mutual fund qualifies as having moderate risk if the standard deviation of its monthly rate of return is less than 5%. A mutual-fund rating agency randomly selects 24 months and determines the rate of return for a certain fund. The standard deviation of the rate of return is computed to be 4.54%. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the fund has moderate risk at the α=0.05 level of significance? A normal probability plot indicates that the monthly rates of return are normally distributed. What are the correct hypotheses for this test? The null hypothesis is H0
Answer:
H0 : σ = 5
H1 : σ < 5
there is no sufficient evidence to conclude that fund has moderate risk.
Explanation:
The hypothesis :
H0 : σ = 5
H1 : σ < 5
The test statistic using the Chisquare variance test :
χ² = (n-1)*s²/σ²
The sample size, s = 4.54
The sample size, n = 24
α = 0.05
Test statistic ;
χ² = [(24 - 1) * 4.54²] / 5²
χ² = (23 * 20.6116) / 25
χ² = 18.962
The Pvalue :
df = n - 1 = 24 - 1 = 23
Pvalue(0.05, 23) = 0.7034
Since Pvalue > α ; we fail to reject the Null ;
Hence, there is no sufficient evidence to conclude that fund has moderate risk.
Mississippi River Shipyards is considering the replacement of an 8-year-old riveting machine with a new one that will increase earnings before depreciation from $27,000 to $54,000 per year. The new machine will cost $82,500, and it will have an estimated life of 8 years and no salvage value. The new machine will be depreciated over its 5-year MACRS recovery period; so the applicable depreciation rates are 20%, 32%, 19%, 12%, 11%, and 6%. The applicable corporate tax rate is 40%, and the firm's WACC is 12%. The old machine has been fully depreciated and has no salvage value.

A producer of fixed proportion goods X and Y (Q = Qx = Qy) has marginal costs and revenues of MC = 10 Q, MRX = 150 - 6 QX, MRy = 30 - 4 Qy. The producer should produce how many units?
a. Qx =9, Qy=9
b. Qx = 9, Qy = 7.5
c. Qx = 10, Qy = 10
d. Qx = 9, Qy=0
Answer:
a. Qx =9, Qy=9
Explanation:
As per the given data
Q = QX = QY
MRX = 150 - 6QX = 150 - 6Q
MRY = 30 - 4QY = 30 - 4Q
MC = 10Q
Now calculate the Marginal revenue as follow
MR = MRX + MRY
MR = 150 - 6Q + 30 - 4Q
MR = 150 + 30 - 6Q - 4Q
MR = 180 - 10Q
The Equilibrium of the producer will be
MR = MC
180 - 10Q = 10Q
180 = 10Q + 10Q
180 = 20Q
Q = 180 / 20
Q = 9
As we know
Q = Qx = QY
Hence, the value of Qx and QY is 9

The members of a wedding party have approached Imperial Jewelers about buying 14 of these gold bracelets for the discounted price of $363.00 each. The members of the wedding party would like special filigree applied to the bracelets that would increase the direct materials cost per bracelet by $8. Imperial Jewelers would also have to buy a special tool for $461 to apply the filigree to the bracelets. The special tool would have no other use once the special order is completed. To analyze this special order opportunity, Imperial Jewelers has determined that most of its manufacturing overhead is fixed and unaffected by variations in how much jewelry is produced in any given period. However, $12.00 of the overhead is variable with respect to the number of bracelets produced. The company also believes that accepting this order would have no effect on its ability to produce and sell jewelry to other customers. Furthermore, the company could fulfill the wedding partyâs order using its existing manufacturing capacity.
Required:
a. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the special order from the wedding party?
b. Should the company accept the special order?
answers:
the financial advantage = 4,341 dollars
given that there is an advantage, then the project has to be accepted.
Explanation:
total incremental revenue from the 14 bracelets = 14 x 363 = $5082
direct material = 8 x 14 = 112
overhead = 12 x 14 = 168
we have the additional expense for this tool to be 461 dollars
for the special filigree that is to be attached to this bracelet e have
112 + 168 + 461 = $741
a. the financial advantage of accepting this = 5082 - 741 = 4341 dollars
b. given that there is a financial advantage then it is better that this order is accepted.
Blazing Woman, a large music festival wants to secure a venue for its show coming up in two years. 19 months before the festival it enters into an agreement with Stonestock Farms.

In addition to this, jobs are very less physical demanding because of their ages
Therefore the option c is correct
The straight-line depreciation method: A. reports an equal amount of depreciation expense each year. B. can be used only by small companies. C. reports a higher amount of depreciation expense in the early years of an asset's use. D. reports more depreciation expense in a year when an asset is heavily used and less in a year when the asset is hardly used at all.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Depreciation is a method used in expensing the cost of an asset
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
The straight line depreciation method reports an equal amount of depreciation expense each year.
An example of the straight line depreciation method
cost of asset = 10,000
salvage value = 0
useful life = 5
straight line depreciation = (10,000 - 0) / 5 = 2000
depreciation expense each year would be 2000
A manager spent 5 hours of his day in meetings. If he said that he spent 70% of his day, how many total hours did he work?
Answer:
The total hours the manager worked
= 7.14 hours
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Time spent by a manager in meetings per day = 5 hours
Percentage of time spent in meetings = 70%
Total hours the manager worked per day = 5/70% = 7.14 hours
b) The total hours that the manager worked per day = 7.14 hours or 7 hours 9 minutes (approximately). This is obtained by dividing the hours spent in meetings by the equivalent proportion that meetings consumed per day.
Describe the events that occur in an efficient market in response to new information that causes the expected return to exceed the required return. What happens to the market value
Answer:
The efficient market hypothesis tells, in an equilibrium, the price of stocks or security is an unbiased estimate of the true values.
Explanation:
Thus, in the equilibrium, of security prices are neither an overvalued nor are undervalued. Suppose the investors learn new information about the company that suggests there stock is worth more than the current price. The security gets undervalued expected return exceeds the required return. Increased in demand for security from the investors with this new information will thus bid up the market value plus reduce its expected return until they are equal.Precision Corporation used a predetermined overhead rate last year of $3 per direct labor-hour, based on an estimate of 24,000 direct labor-hours to be worked during the year. Actual costs and activity during the year were: Actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred $84,000 Actual direct labor-hours worked 27,000 The overapplied or underapplied manufacturing overhead for the year was:
Answer:
$12,000 Overhead Underapplied
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what The overapplied or underapplied manufacturing overhead for the year was:
Total pre-determined manufacturing overhead $72,000
($3*24,000)
Less Actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred ($84,000)
Overhead Underapplied $12,000
Therefore The overapplied or underapplied manufacturing overhead for the year was:$12,000 Overhead Underapplied

Corporation produces a single product. The cost of producing and selling a single unit of this product at the company's normal activity level of 46,000 units per month is as follows:
Per Unit Direct materials $45.60
Direct labor $8.70
Variable manufacturing overhead $1.70
Fixed manufacturing overhead $18.50
Variable selling & administrative expense $3.00
Fixed selling & administrative expense $14.00
The normal selling price of the product is $98.10 per unit.
An order has been received from an overseas customer for 2,600 units to be delivered this month at a special discounted price. This order would not change the total amount of the company's fixed costs. The variable selling and administrative expense would be $1.80 less per unit on this order than on normal sales.
Direct labor is a variable cost in this company.
Suppose there is not enough idle capacity to produce all of the units for the overseas customer and accepting the special order would require cutting back on production of 1,000 units for regular customers. The minimum acceptable price per unit for the special order is closest to: __________
Answer:
Ash Corporation
The minimum acceptable price per unit for the special order is closest to:
= $94.93.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Normal production capacity per month = 46,000 units
Per Unit
Direct materials $45.60
Direct labor $8.70
Variable manufacturing overhead $1.70
Fixed manufacturing overhead $18.50
Variable selling & administrative expense $3.00
Fixed selling & administrative expense $14.00
The normal selling price of the product = $98.10 per unit.
Special order = 2,600 units
Relevant costs:
Direct materials $45.60
Direct labor $8.70
Variable manufacturing overhead $1.70
Variable selling & administrative expense $1.20
Total relevant costs per unit $57.20
Total variable cost for the special order = $148,720 ($57.20 * 2,600)
Loss sales revenue (1,000 * $98.10) 98,100
Total cost for the special order = $246,820
Minimum acceptable price per unit = $94.93 ($246,820/2,600)

Suppose that the tax on interest income is levied on the nominal interest rate, the tax rate is 20 percent, and the real interest rate is 4 percent a year. There is no inflation.
Calculate the after-tax real interest rate and the true tax rate on interest income.
Answer:
After-tax interest rate ⇒ 3.2%True tax on interest income ⇒ 20%Explanation:
After-tax real interest rate:
= Real interest rate * (1 - tax rate)
= 4% * (1 - 20%)
= 4% * 80%
= 3.2%
True tax on interest income:
= 20%
True tax on interest income is the tax rate levied on the nominal interest rate which is 20%.
On its December 31, 2017, balance sheet, Calgary Industries reports equipment of $470,000 and accumulated depreciation of $94,000. During 2018, the company plans to purchase additional equipment costing $100,000 and expects depreciation expense of $40,000. Additionally, it plans to dispose of equipment that originally cost $52,000 and had accumulated depreciation of $7,600. The balances for equipment and accumulated depreciation, respectively, on the December 31, 2018 budgeted balance sheet are:
Answer:
The cost balance on 31 December 2018 is $518,000 while that of accumulated depreciation is $126,400
Explanation:
The balance of fixed assets is computed as
Opening balance - accumulated depreciation - depreciation + Addition - Disposal
Hence given that on December 31, 2017, Calgary Industries reports equipment of $470,000 and accumulated depreciation of $94,000. During 2018, the company plans to purchase additional equipment costing $100,000 and expects depreciation expense of $40,000, Additionally, it plans to dispose of equipment that originally cost $52,000 and had accumulated depreciation of $7,600 the balance then
= $470,000 + $100,000 - $52,000
= $518,000
The accumulated depreciation
= $94,000 + $40,000 - $7,600
= $126,400

The ultimate goal of contract damages is: Multiple Choice Put the nonbreaching party where it was before the contract was formed. Return any costs incurred by the nonbreaching party. Put the nonbreaching party where it was prior to breach. Put the nonbreaching party in the best position possible. Give the nonbreaching party the benefit of its bargain.
Answer:
Give the nonbreaching party the benefit of its bargain.
Explanation:
A contract can be defined as an agreement between two or more parties (group of people) which gives rise to a mutual legal obligation or enforceable by law.
There are different types of contract in business and these includes: fixed-price contract, cost-plus contract, bilateral contract, implies contract, unilateral contract, adhesion contract, unconscionable contract, option contract, express contract, executory contract, etc.
Mutual assent is a legal term which represents an agreement by both parties to a contract. When two parties to a contract both have an understanding of the parameters, terms and conditions surrounding a contract, it ultimately implies that they are in agreement; this is generally referred to as mutual assent.
In contract law, damages can be defined as an amount of money that is paid to a claimant (innocent party) as a compensation for a breach of contractual agreement and it's based on the amount of interest he or she has vested in the contract. Thus, it covers the incurred by the nonbreaching party (claimant or innocent party) due to a breach of contract by the other party.
Hence, the ultimate goal of contract damages is to give the nonbreaching party the benefit of its bargain.

A company buys equipment for $48,000, expects to use it for ten years, and then sell it for $6,000. Using the straight-line method, the company should report annual depreciation for the equipment of: A. $4,200. B. $8,400. C. $4,800. D. $9,600.
Answer:
A $4,200
Explanation:
Given the following information, a company buys equipment for $48,000 expects to use it for ten years, and then sell it for $6,000
We need to use the formula below
Annual depreciation = (Original cost - Salvage value) / Estimated life(years)
Annual depreciation = ($48,000 - $6,000) / 10
Annual depreciation = $4,200
Fiat announces its intention to build an all-electric car plant in Belvidere, Illinois. Fiat also announces it intends to sell one million vehicles per year. It hires 3000 additional workers - enough to keep the plant operating at full capacity. Fiat also signs contracts with its unions committing to pay all of its workers at this plant for 2 full years whether or not the production at the plant reaches capacity. Is this a strong strategic commitment by Fiat?
Answer:
Yes, this is Fiat's strong strategic commitment, as a company's strategy corresponds to the set of actions that a company plans to achieve its long-term goals and objectives.
When the company then announces to stakeholders its intention to build an electric car plant in Illinois, as well as its plans to sell one million vehicles a year, hire 3,000 additional workers, and sign workers' pay contracts for 2 full years, it is assuming to its target audience a commitment to comply with their declarations, which means that the new investments and launching of new products will impact the company as a whole, its profitability, market value and competitiveness, which can then be understood. as a strong strategic commitment by Fiat.

Botosan Factory has budgeted factory overhead for the year at $468,602, and budgeted direct labor hours for the year are 280,600. If the actual direct labor hours for the month of May are 255,300, the overhead allocated for May is
Answer:
$426,351
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what the overhead allocated for May is
Using this formula
Overhead allocated for May=(Estimated overhead/Estimated total DLHs)*Overhead rate per DLHs
Let plug in the formula
Overhead allocated for May=($468,602/ 280,600)*255,300
Overhead allocated for May=$1.67*255,300
Overhead allocated for May=$426,351
Therefore the overhead allocated for May is $426,351
