Explanation:
The residents of cities A, B, C, D and E consume wi-fi routers, with consumption in each city is 150 routers (see the map below). The firm that produces routers must decide how to set-up production. It could set up five factories, dispersed across each city, with each factory producing 150 routers and supplying to its own local city market. In this case, the firm incurs no cost for shipping output. Alternatively, the firm could locate its factory at centrally located city C, and supply routers to the entire region. The single factory in city C must then produce 750 routers, 600 of which are shipped to the cities A, B, D and E for a shipping cost of $6 per router.
A E
C
B D
(a) Suppose the average cost of producing a router is AC (Q) = 1500/Q, where Q is the number of routers produced in a factory. Calculate AC with Q = 150 and Q = 750, respectively. Note and explain how this production process exhibit economies of scale.
(b) Based on the AC function from part (a), find the optimal arrangement of production for the firm (one central factory or five dispersed factories). The optimal arrangement minimizes total cost for the firm, where total cost is the sum of production cost and shipping cost. Clearly write down all your calculations.
(c) Now suppose the average cost of producing a router is AC = 14000/(Q+1250). Now, repeat the calculation of AC with Q = 150 and Q = 750.
(d) Based on the AC function from part (c), now repeat your calculations to find the cost-minimizing arrangement of production in the case. (e) Explain intuitively the difference is results between responses to part (b) and (d).
(f) Suppose now production costs are those given in part (a) but let shipping cost per router be given by t (in the preceding discussion, we had t = 6, now we assume we don’t know the cost of shipping). What value of t would make the two arrangements for production (centralized versus separate factories) equivalent in terms of cost? i.e. what value of t would make the firm indifferent between a centralized versus a dispersed set-up?
Answer:
a. The production process shows that the more the quantity produced, the less the average cost of production. It proves that there are advantages arising from economies of scale.
AC with Q = 150 = $10 ($1,500/150) and
AC with Q = 750 = $2 ($1,500/750)
b. The optimal arrangement is (centralized production) to produce the 750 routers at city C and ship to the 4 other cities.
c. AC with Q = 150 = $10 (14000/(150+1250) and
AC with Q = 750 = $7 (14000/(750+1250)
d. The cost-minimizing arrangement of production in this case is decentralized production.
e. The average cost of producing 150 units at the various cities has remained unchanged while the average cost of producing the 750 units at city C has increased from $2 to $7.
f. Suppose now production costs are those given in part (a) but let shipping cost per router be given by t (in the preceding discussion, we had t = 6, now we assume we don’t know the cost of shipping).
The value of t that would make the two arrangements for production (centralized versus separate factories) equivalent in terms of cost is:
t = $10 per router
Therefore, centralized production cost will be equal to $7,500 ($1,500 + ($10 * 600), and decentralized production cost will remain at $7,500 (750 * $10).
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cities with consumers of wi-fi routers = A, B, C, D and E
Demand for routers by each city = 150
Total number of routers required = 750 (150 * 5)
b) Suppose the average cost of producing a router is AC (Q) = 1500/Q, where Q is the number of routers produced in a factory:
Therefore AC with Q = 150 = $10 ($1,500/150) and
AC with Q = 750 = $2 ($1,500/750)
Cost of Production of routers in city C:
cost of producing 750 routers at $2 per router = $1,500
Shipping cost of 600 routers to 4 cities at $6 per router = $3,600
Total cost of producing at city C = $5,100 ($1,500 + $3,600)
Total cost of producing 750 routers at 5 cities = $7,500 ($1,500/150 * 750)
c) Suppose the average cost of producing a router is AC = 14000/(Q+1250):
Therefore, AC with Q = 150 = $10 (14000/(150+1250) and
AC with Q = 750 = $7 (14000/(750+1250)
Cost of Production of routers in city C:
cost of producing 750 routers at $7 per router = $5,250
Shipping cost of 600 routers to 4 cities at $6 per router = $3,600
Total cost of producing at city C = $8,850 ($5,250 + $3,600)
Total cost of producing 750 routers at 5 cities = $7,500 ($1,500/150 * 750)
d) $7,500 = $1,500 + tQ
where Q = 600 (150 * 4)
Therefore, $7,500 - $1,500 = t600
simplifying
t600 = $6,000
t = $6,000/600 = $10
Following is financial information for three ventures:
VENTURE XX VENTURE YY VENTURE ZZ
After-tax profit margins 5% 25% 15%
Asset turnover 2.0 times 3.0 times 1.0 times
a. Calculate the return on assets (ROA) for each firm.
b. Which venture is indicative of a strong entrepreneurial venture opportunity?
c. Which venture seems to be more of a commodity type business?
Answer:
a. The ROA:
Venture XX = After tax profit margin * Asset turnover = 5% * 2 = 10%
Venture YY = 25% * 3 = 75%
Venture ZZ = 15% * 1 = 15%
B) The strong entrepreneurial venture opportunity is Venture YY being havibg higher ROA at 75%.
C) The Venture ZZ seems to be more of a commodity-type business because the return on sales and asset turnover is moderate one.
Find the present values of the following cash flow streams. The appropriate interest rate is 10%. (Hint: It is fairly easy to work this problem dealing with the individual cash flows. However, if you have a financial calculator, read the section of the manual that describes how to enter cash flows such as the ones in this problem. This will take a little time, but the investment will pay huge dividends throughout the course.
Year    Cash Stream A Cash Stream B
1 $100 $300
2 400 400
3 400 400
4 400 400
5 300 100
   Â
Required:
What is the value of each cash flow stream at a 0 percent interest rate?
Answer:
a. The present value of Cash flow stream A at 10% interest rate is $1,181.50; while the present value of Cash flow streams B at 10% interest rate is $1,239.13.
b. Present value of Cash flow streams A and B at 0% interest rate are both equal to $1,600.
Explanation:
a. Calculations of the present values of Cash Flow Stream A and B at 10% interest rate
The present value (PV) for a particular year can be calculated using the following formula:
PV = FV / (1 + r)^n
Where:
PV = present value of a particular year
FV = Future value or cash stream of a particular year
r = interest rate = 10%
n = The particular year in focus
The present value of cash flow streams at a particular interest rate is the sum of the present values of Cash Stream for all years, and this can be calculated as follows:
Present value of Cash flow stream A at 10% interest rate = (100 / (1 + 10%)^1) + (400 / (1 + 10%)^2) + (400 / (1 + 10%)^3) + (400 / (1 + 10%)^4) + (300 / (1 + 10%)^5) = $1,181.50
Present value of Cash flow streams B at 10% interest rate = (300 / (1 + 10%)^1) + (400 / (1 + 10%)^2) + (400 / (1 + 10%)^3) + (400 / (1 + 10%)^4) + (100 / (1 + 10%)^5) = $1,239.13
b. Calculations of the present values of Cash Flow Stream A and B at 0% interest rate
The present value of cash flow streams at a 0% is simply the sum of Cash Flow Stream for all years, and this can be calculated as follows:
Present value of Cash flow stream A at 0% interest rate = $100 + $400 + $400 + $400 + $300 = $1,600
Present value of Cash flow streams B at 0% interest rate = $300 + $400 + $400 + $400 + $100 = $1,600
Staley Co. manufactures computer monitors. The following is a summary of its basic cost and revenue data: Per Unit Percent Sales price $480 100 Variable costs 312 65 Unit contribution margin $168 35 Assume that Staley Co. is currently selling 600 computer monitors per month and monthly fixed costs are $80,000. Staley Co.'s margin of safety ratio (MOS%) if 600 units are sold would be (round intermediate calculation up to nearest whole number of units): 79.5%. 19.5%. 33.4%. 17.7%. 20.5%.
Answer:
20.5%
Explanation:
Calculation for what Staley Co.'s margin of safety ratio (MOS%) if 600 units are sold would be
First step is to calculate Break-even amount
Break-even = $80,000/($480-$312)
Break-even= 476.19
Break-even= 477 approximately
Second step is to calculate the Margin of Safety
Margin of Safety = 600-477
Margin of Safety= 123
Now let calculate the margin of safety ratio
Margin of safety ratio=123/600
Margin of safety ratio=20.5%
Therefore Staley Co.'s margin of safety ratio (MOS%) if 600 units are sold would be 20.5%
Derek will deposit $9,359.00 per year for 18.00 years into an account that earns 4.00%, The first deposit is made next year. He has $18,418.00 in his account today. How much will be in the account 49.00 years from today
Answer:
FV= $904,322.05
Explanation:
First, we will calculate the future value of the 18 deposits 19 years from now. Also the value of the $18,418 19 years from now.
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit= 9,359
n= 18
i= 0.04
FV= {9,359*[(1.04^18) - 1]} / 0.04
FV= $240,015.42
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 18,418*(1.04^19)
FV= $38,803.95
Total FV= 240,015.42 + 38,803.95= $278,819.37
Finally, the value of the account for the remaining 30 years:
FV= 278,819.37*(1.04^30)
FV= $904,322.05

Self-employed HI: 2.9% No limit No maximum
*Employee HI: Plus an additional 0.9% on wages over $200,000. Also applicable to self-employed.
Rounding Rules: Unless instructed otherwise compute hourly rate and overtime rates as follows:
Carry the hourly rate and the overtime rate to 3 decimal places and then round off to 2 decimal places (round the hourly rate to 2 decimal places before multiplying by one and one-half to determine the overtime rate).
If the third decimal place is 5 or more, round to the next higher cent.
If the third decimal place is less than 5, drop the third decimal place.
Also, use the minimum hourly wage of $7.25 in solving these problems and all that follow.
Jax Company's (a monthly depositor) tax liability (amount withheld from employees' wages for federal income tax and FICA tax plus the company's portion of the FICA tax) for July was $1,210. No deposit was made by the company until August 24, 20--. Determine the following:
Note: Round your answers to the nearest cent and assume 365 days in a year.
a. The date by which the deposit should have been made August 25
b. The penalty for failure to make timely deposit $________
c. The penalty for failure to fully pay tax when due $________
d. The interest on taxes due and unpaid (assume a 4% interest rate) $________
Answer:
A. 15th August
B. 60.5
C. 6.05
D. 1.19
Explanation:
Let assume that during the lookback period, you reported a tax rate of $50000 or less. It implies that you're a monthly depositor(based on schedule) and all taxes much be deposited on or before the 15th day of the next month.
Inability to meet up with the timely deposit has penalty based on their tiers.
For 1 - 5 days late = 2% of upaod depsot
6 - 15 late = 5% on tax payment
15 days late = 10% on deposits
10 days late of IRS = 15% on deposit
Since no deposits were made till Aug 24, then deposit has been delayed by 9 days (i.e. Aug 15 - 24)
Thus, the penalty for making timely deposit = 1210 × 0.05 = 60.5
Inability to pay the penalty = 0.5 percent per month ( for unpaid taxes).
So, the penalty for failure of fully paid tax = 120 × 0.5% = 6.05
Assuming a 4% interest rate; the interest on taxes due & unpaid is
= 1210 × 0.04 × 9/365
= 1.19
Therefore, the total penalty imposed = 60.5 + 6.05 + 1.19 = 67.74
Lucky Strike Mine (LLC) purchased a silver deposit for $1,500,000. It estimated it would extract 500,000 ounces of silver from the deposit. Lucky Strike mined the silver and sold it, reporting gross receipts of $1.8 million, $2.5 million, and $2 million for Years 1 through 3, respectively. During Years 1 through 3, Lucky Strike reported net income (loss) from the silver deposit activity in the amount of ($100,000), $400,000, and $100,000, respectively. In Years 1 through 3, Lucky Strike actually extracted 300,000 ounces of silver as follows: Ounces extracted per year Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 50,000 150,000 100,000 What is Lucky Strike's depletion deduction for Year 2 if the applicable percentage depletion for silver is 15 percent
Answer:
$375,000
Explanation:
depletion rate musts equal the lesser between:
net income = $400,000
or
15% of gross revenues = $2,500,000 x 15% = $375,000
in this case, $375,000 is the smallest amount.
The percentage of depletion is used by extraction companies, e.g. oil & gas companies or mining companies.

For each of the following transactions that occur in their lives, identify whether it is included in the calculation of U.S. GDP as part of consumption (C), investment (I), government purchases (G), exports (X), or imports (M). Check all that apply.
a. Hubert buys a sweater made in Guatemala.
b. Kate's father in Sweden orders a bottle Of Vermont maple syrup from the producer's website.
c. The State of Pennsylvania repaves highway PA 320, Which goes through the center Of Swarthmore.
d. Kate gets a new refrigerator made in the United States.
e. Hubert's employer upgrades all of its computer systems using U.S.-made parts.
Answer:
GDP is the total market value of all the goods and services produced in a country at a given period of time. The five components of GDP are:
Explanation:
1. Consumption (C) : This involves all the private consumption spending or consumer spendings on goods and services such as on groceries, jewelry and clothing.
Kyoko gets a new refrigerator made in the United States - This is a form of consumption because the commodity is produced, bought and also consumed within domestic boundaries. Consumption includes durable goods, non-durable goods as well as services.
2. Investment (I) : This involves the private domestic investment and/or capital expenditure. This is incurred when businesses spend money to invest in their business activities.
Jacque’s employer upgrades all of his computer systems using U.S made parts - The money spent on upgrading computer systems will help increase the productivity and efficiency of business processes in the long run, hence is a form of investment.
3. Government spending (G) : This relates to government consumption expenditures and gross investment. Involves government spending on equipment, infrastructure and payroll.
The State of Pennsylvania replaces highway PA320, which goes through the center of Swathmore - The government has utilized its fund to construct a highway, which is an example of improving its infrastructure and benefiting the public, hence a form of government spending.
4. Exports (X) : Goods and services produced domestically, that are bought by those in other countries.
Kyoko’s father in Sweden orders a bottle of Vermont maple syrup from the producer’s website - This is a form of an export because the syrup that is produced domestically is being sold to someone in another country.
5. Imports (M) : The goods and services produced by another country which are brought into the domestic country.
Jacques buys a sweater made in Guatemala - This is a form of imports since it is produced outside domestic borders and is being purchased to be consumed within the country.
Mortensen Industries, which uses a process-costing system, adds material at the beginning of production and incurs conversion cost evenly throughout manufacturing. The following selected information was taken from the company's accounting records: Total equivalent units of materials: 8,000 Total equivalent units of conversion: 7,240 Units started and completed during the period: 6,100 On the basis of this information, the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion is:
Answer:
60%
Explanation:
Calculation for what the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion is:
First step is to calculate the Total materials
Total equivalent units of materials + Units started and completed during the period = Total materials or 6,100 + x = 8,000; x = 1,900 (8,100-6,100)
Second step is to calculate Partial units with conversion costs in ending inventory
Using this formula
Partial units with conversion costs in ending inventory= Equivalent units of conversion –
Units started and completed during the period
Let plug in the formula
Partial units with conversion costs in ending inventory= 7,240 – 6,100
Partial units with conversion costs in ending inventory = 1,140 units
Now let calculate the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion
Ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion= 1,140 ÷1,900
Ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion=0.6*100
Ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion= 60%
Therefore the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion is:60%

Michael won the Powerball jackpot of 57 million dollars. He has two options to collect the cash: (a) 30-year annuities (first payment one year from today) which future value equates the jackpot amount given that the prevailing interest rate is 8% per year; (b) a single payment now, corresponding to the present value of those 30-year annuities. Michael has big plans, hence he prefers option (b). Assuming that there are no taxes, how much money will he be able to collect now
Answer:
$5,664,627.53
Explanation:
future value of the annuity = $57 million
interest rate = 8%
number of periods = 30
FV annuity factor, 8%, 30 periods = 113.283
annual payment = future value / FV annuity factor= $57,000,000 / 113.283 = $503,164.64
the present value of an annuity = annual payments x PV annuity factor
PV annuity factor, 30 periods, 8% = 11.258
present value of the annuity = $503,164.64 x 11.258 = $5,664,627.53
She began by asking around for suggestions and by reading through online reviews of different services such as Hulu Plus and Amazon Prime. After considering all her options, Elina decided to subscribe to Netflix for its wide selection of films and television programs, as well as for its popular original programming, which Netflix also made available for streaming. Little by little, Elina and her friends began spending less time at the local movie house where they'd go to watch older films for $6 a film, and more time in her dorm room where they could watch movies of all genres and time periods to their hearts' content. That, accidentally, turned out to be another huge cost-savings measure for Elina. It wasn't long before she recognized that she made the right decision. Elina became a Netflix convert and recommended to others to do the same.

An Argentinian economist pointed out that the inflation rate based on the PCE(personal consumption expenditures) deflator was higher than the inflation rate you calculated in part (b) based on the GDP deflator. Provide two possible explanations for this difference between the inflation rates calculated from the PCE deflatorversus the GDP deflator.
Answer:
Note: The complete question is attached as picture below
Year Nominal GDP Real GDP
2019 100 100
2020 105 99
a) %change in nominal GDP = [(105 - 100) / 100] * 100 = 5%
%change in real GDP = [(99 - 100) / 100] * 100 = -1%
b) GDP deflator is = [Nominal GDP / Real GDP]. %change in GDP deflator = [(106.06 - 100) / 100] * 100 = 6.06%
c) Inflation calculated from GDP deflator and PCE is different because
- GDP deflator does not includes price increase of imported goods while PCE does.
- PCE measures change in price of goods which are generally consumed by consumers while GDP deflator includes all goods produced in an economy.

When a transaction occurs, it is initially recorded in a journal, which serves as the first entry point for documenting transactions. The journal provides a chronological order of transactions. These transactions are then transferred to the ledger, where they are organized by account.
The ledger consists of individual accounts, each assigned an identification number. These accounts represent different categories, such as cash, accounts payable, inventory, sales revenue, etc. Every transaction affecting these accounts is recorded in the ledger, indicating the increases or decreases in their respective balances.
Overall, the ledger provides a comprehensive snapshot of the company's financial position and helps in generating financial statements. It allows businesses to monitor their financial health, track transactions accurately, and prepare financial reports for analysis and decision-making.
Hence the correct option is (a).

The chart below gives prices and output information for the country of Utopia. Use this information to calculate real and nominal GDP for both years. Use 2001 as the base year.
Year 2000 2001
Price Quantity Price Quantity
Ice Cream $7.00 600 $3.00 400
Blue Jeans $70.00 20 $20.00 90
Laptops $300.00 5 $300.00 5
2000 nominal GDP = $_________
2001 nominal GDP = $_________
2000 real GDP = $_________
2001 real GDP = $_________
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
As we know that
Nominal GDP = Sum of (Present Year Price × Present Year Quantity)
And,
Real GDP = Sum of (Base Year Price × Present Year Quantity)
Now
(a) Nominal GDP, 2000 is
= $[(7 × 600) + (70 × 20) + (300 × 5)]
= $4,200 + $1,400 + $1,500
= $7,100
(b) Nominal GDP, 2001 is
= $[(3 × 400) + (20 × 90) + (300 × 5)]
= ($1,200 + $1,800 + $1,500)
= $4,500
(c) Real GDP, 2000 is
= $[(3 × 600) + (20 × 20) + (300 × 5)]
= $1,800 + $400 + 1,500
= $3,700
(d) Real GDP, 2001 is
= $[(3 × 400) + (20 × 90) + (300 × 5)]
= $1,200 + $1,800 + $1,500
= $4,500

A company purchased $10,700 of merchandise on June 15 with terms of 2/10, n/45, and FOB shipping point. The freight charge, $850, was added to the invoice amount. On June 20, it returned $1360 of that merchandise. On June 24, it paid the balance owed for the merchandise taking any discount it is entitled to. The cash paid on June 24 equals:______
a. $10,003.
b. $9,224.
c. $11,550.
d. $11,210.
e. $11,11Ο.
Answer:
a. $10,003.
Explanation:
The terms of 2/10, n/45 means that there is a 2% discount if the payment is made within 10 days of the sales date and rhe net credit period is 45 days.
Calculate total invoice value
Total Invoice value = Merchandise value + Freight Charges = $10,700 + $850 = $11,550
As the payment is made on June 24 within the discount period, the discount will be availed
Discount = ( Purchases made - Returns ) x 2% = ( $10,700 - $1,360 ) x 2% = $186.80 = $187
Now the Amount paid
Amount Paid = Invoice value - Return - Discount avaialed = $11,550 - $1360 - 187 = $10,003
High Desert Pottery works makes a variety of pottery products that it sells to retailers. The company uses a job-order costing system in which departmental predetermined overhead rates are used to apply manufacturing overhead cost to jobs. The predetermined overhead rate in the Molding Department is based on machine-hours, and the rate in the Painting Department is based on direct labor- hours. At the beginning Of the year, the company provided the following estimates:
Direct labor-hours 36,500 50,100
Machine-hours 87,000 32,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead cost $174,000 $445,890
Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour $3.20 -
Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour - $5.20
Job 205 was started on August 1 and completed on August 10. The company's cost records show the following information concerning the job:
Department
Molding Painting
Direct labor-hours 76 132
Machine-hours 350 66
Direct materials $938 $1,220
Direct labor cost $720 $1,020
Required:
a. Compute the predetermined overhead rates used in the Molding Department and the Painting Department.
b. Compute the total overhead cost applied to Job 205.
c. What would be the total manufacturing cost recorded for Job 205?
d. If the job contained 22 units, what would be the unit product cost?
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate for each department:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Molding:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (174,000/87,000) + 3.2
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $5.2 per machine hour
Painting:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 445,890/50,100 + 5.2
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $14.1
Now, we can allocate overhead to Job 205:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 5.2*350 + 14.1*132
Allocated MOH= $3,681.2
Finally, the unitary cost of Job 205:
Total cost= (938 + 1,220) + (720 + 1,020) + 3,681.2
Total cost= $7,579
Unitary cost= 7,579/22
Unitary cost= $344.51
