Answer:
1. 52.17%
2. 50.41%
3. a. The inflation rate in 2018 is not the same using the two methods
Explanation:
1.
We are to calculate the % change in overall price level
Market basket:
Year 2017 = (30x2) + (8x4)
= 60 +32
= $92
Year 2018 = (50x2) + (10x4)
= 100+40
= $140
Cpi in 2017 = market basket in this year/market basket in base year x 100
= 92/92 x 100
= 100
Cpi in 2018
= 140/92 x 100
= 152.17
% change = 152.17 - 100 / 100
= 0.5217 x100
= 52.17%
2.
Nominal gdp in year 2017 = (20x30) +(40x8)
= 920 dollars
Real gdp in same year = 920 dollars
Gdp deflator (2018) = nominal/real x 100
= 920/920 x 100
= 100
Real gdp (2018) = (25*30) + (60x8)
= $1230
Nominal gdp(2018) = 25x50 + 60x10
= $1850
Gdp deflator = 1850/1230 x 100
= 150.41
% change in overall price level = 150.41-100/100
= 0.5041 x 100
= 50.41%
3. Using the 2 methods inflation rate in 2018 is not the same. The cpi's rate of inflation holds basket of goods to be fixed. Gdp deflator allows a fluctuation (it changes)
In 2018 the NFL football team, the Carolina Panthers, have an owner accused of sexual harassment. The fans’ demand for team jerseys has dropped with the scandal this year. At about the same time the cost to manufacture the jerseys in China increased by 20%. Describe what the new equilibrium price and quantity is like compared with the prior year’s Panthers’ jersey market before the scandal and increased manufacturing costs?
Question Completion with Options:
1. The demand curve shifted to the right, the supply curve shifted to the left, the equilibrium price and quantity increased from 2017
2. Supply and demand curves have shifted to the left and the equilibrium quantity has decreased from 2017 but it is impossible to determine the effect on the equilibrium price.
3. The demand curve shifted to the left, the supply curve shifted to the right, the equilibrium price and quantity increased from 2017 Od.
4. Supply and demand curves have shifted to the left and the equilibrium price and quantity for Panthers' jersey market has decreased since 2017.
Answer:
This is how the new equilibrium price and quantity are like compared with the prior year’s Panthers’ jersey market before the scandal and increased manufacturing costs:
2. Supply and demand curves have shifted to the left and the equilibrium quantity has decreased from 2017 but it is impossible to determine the effect on the equilibrium price.
Explanation:
The scenario presents a decrease in supply of the jersey caused by the increase in the cost of production by 20%. This is why supply shifted to the left. Based on this factor, price is supposed to increase but this does not reflect on the data because the scandal also dampened demand. No wonder demand also shifted to the left, resulting in further decrease. These two leftward shifts caused the equilibrium quantity to decrease. However, we cannot establish whether the price decreased as well because it is supposed to increase due to the increased production cost in China.

How would the discount effect on marginal revenue differ for a seller increasing sales from 100 units to 101 units compared to an increase in sales from 1,000 units to 1,001 units
Answer:
the discount effect should be smaller for a change between 100 to 101, than for 1,000 to 1,001
Explanation:
The discount effect is basically how much do you need to lower your price (offer a discount) in order to sell one more unit. Generally, companies that sell larger amounts of units must offer larger discounts in order to sell additional units. That is why the discount effect should be larger if the total output is larger.
Based on the information given, the discount effect will be smaller for a change from 100 to 101 units than 1000 to 1001 units.
It should be noted that business mostly prefer to give discount when there's an increase in sales. In such a case, a higher quantity of products will command a higher discount then a lower quantity of product.
Therefire, the discount effect will be smaller for a change from 100 to 101 units than 1000 to 1001 units. The business will give a small discount for a small quantity of goods and vice versa.

Ending Work in Process 5,300 $90,185
Total 20,900 $393,137
Explanation:
Note : I will use the FIFO method for this question since the information given is only suitable for this method.
Assembly Department
First, calculate the equivalent units of production with respect to materials and conversion costs :
1.Materials
To finish Opening Work In Process (4,100x0%) = 0
Started and Completed ((15,600 - 4,100) x100%) = 11,500
Ending Work In Process (5,300x 100%) = 5,300
Equivalent units with respect to materials = 16,800
2.Conversion costs
To finish Opening Work In Process (4,100x60%) = 2,460
Started and Completed ((15,600 - 4,100) x100%) = 11,500
Ending Work In Process (5,300x 80%) = 4,240
Equivalent units with respect to conversion costs = 19,840
Next, calculate the total costs with respect to materials and conversion costs :
1. Materials
FIFO method only accounts for costs incurred during the period
Costs Incurred during the period = $124,320
Total Material costs = $124,320
2. Conversion Costs
FIFO method only accounts for costs incurred during the period
Costs Incurred during the period ($140,000 + $98,420) = $238,420
Total Conversion costs = $238,420
Next, calculate the cost per equivalent unit of materials, conversion costs and in total
1. Materials
Cost per equivalent = Total Costs / Total Equivalent Units
Therefore,
Cost per equivalent = $124,320/ 16,800
= $7.40
2. Conversion Costs
Cost per equivalent = Total Costs / Total Equivalent Units
Therefore,
Cost per equivalent = $238,420/ 19,840
= $12.02
3. Total
Total unit cost = materials unit cost + Conversion unit cost
= $7.40 + $12.02
= $19.42
Finally, calculate the total cost of units completed and transferred out and units still in process
1. units completed and transferred out
Total cost = units completed and transferred out x total unit cost
= 15,600 units x $19.42
= $302,952
2. units still in process
Total cost = material costs + conversion costs
= 5,300 x $7.40 + 4,240 x $12.02
= $90,184.80

Skolits Corp. issued 10-year bonds 2 years ago at a coupon rate of 8.7 percent. The bonds make semiannual payments. If these bonds currently sell for 108 percent of par value, what is the YTM
Answer:
7.36%
Explanation:
Nper = (10-2)*2 = 16
Pmt = 1000*8.7%/2 = 43.5
Pv = -108%*1000 = -1080
Fv = 1000
YTM = Rate(Nper, pmt, -Pv, Fv)*2
YTM = Rate(16, 43.5, -1080, 1000)*2
YTM = 0.036795696 * 2
YTM = 0.073591392
YTM = 7.3591392%
YTM = 7.36%
Swann Company sold a delivery truck on April 1, 2016. Swann had acquired the truck on January 1, 2012, for $45,500. At acquisition, Swann had estimated that the truck would have an estimated life of 5 years and a residual value of $3,000. At December 31, 2015, the truck had a book value of $11,500. Required: 1. Prepare any necessary journal entries to record the sale of the truck, assuming it sold for: a. $11,125 b. $7,525 2. How should the gain or loss on disposal be reported on the income statement
Answer:
1.

Dr. Cash_________________$11,125
Dr. Accumulated Depreciation $36,125
Cr. Truck ________________ $45,500
Cr. Gain on Disposal ________$1,750
b.
Dr. Cash_________________$7,525
Dr. Loss on Disposal ________$1,850
Dr. Accumulated Depreciation $36,125

2.
a.
The gain is reported as a realized gain in the income statement after operating income for the period.
b.
The loss is reported as a realized loss in the income statement after operating income for the period.
Explanation:
1.
We need to calculate the depreciation for the 3 months of 2016.
Depreciation for the period = ( ( Initial cost -Residual Value ) / Useful life ) x Time Fraction = ( ( $45,500 -$3,000 ) / 5 ) x 3/12 = $2,125
Book Value on April 1, 2016 = Book Value on December 31, 2015 - Depreciation for 2016 = $11,500 - $2,125 = $9,375
Accumulated Depreciation = Initial cost - Book value = $45,500 - $9,375 = $36,125
Now compare The bok value o sale price to calculate the gain or losss
a.
Gain = Sale Value - Book value = $11,125 - $9,375 = $1,750
b.
Loss = Book Value - Sale value = $9,375 - $7,525 = $1,850

Explain how changes in interest rates and rates of return on various investment options will affect the amount of money that businesses are willing to invest to increase output.
Answer:
Interest rates represent the opportunity costs of investors. If the interest rates are too high, then the opportunity cost of making an investment increases, since the investor could simply decide to purchase Treasury Bonds, corporate bonds, or put the money on a CD. As interest rates increase, total output decreases since investment in new projects decreases.
On the other hand, if interest rates lower, the opportunity cost of investors decrease. Investors will be willing to invest in new projects instead of purchasing Treasury Bonds, corporate bonds, or put the money on a CD. As interest rates decrease, total output increases since investment in new projects increases.

Answer:
The objective function is:
Minimization (Z) = 0.53Xae + 0.21Xaf + 0.52Xag + 0.41Xah + 0.31Xbe + 0.37Xbf + 0.41Xbg + 0.28Xbh + 0.56Xce + 0.32Xcf + 0.56Xcg + 0.33Xch + 0.41Xde + 0.54Xdf + 0.34Xdg + 0.52Xdh
Explanation:
Solution:
We are asked to find the value of the objective function in this data given.
So,
Let Xae be the number of units shipping from warehouse A to city E.
Similarly, we have Xaf, Xag, Xah
Let Xbe be the number of units shipping from warehouse B to city E .
Similarly, we have Xbf, Xbg, Xbh
Let Xce be the number of units shipping from warehouse C to city E .
Similarly, we have Xcf, Xcg, Xch
Let Xde be the number of units shipping from warehouse D to city E .
Similarly, we have Xdf, Xdg, Xdh
Furthermore,
0.53 is the shipping cost of 1 unit from warehouse A to City E.
So, the shipping cost of Xae units from warehouse A to City E is 0.53Xae.
Similarly, we have other corresponding costs.
Hence,
The objective function is:
Minimization (Z) = 0.53Xae + 0.21Xaf + 0.52Xag + 0.41Xah + 0.31Xbe + 0.37Xbf + 0.41Xbg + 0.28Xbh + 0.56Xce + 0.32Xcf + 0.56Xcg + 0.33Xch + 0.41Xde + 0.54Xdf + 0.34Xdg + 0.52Xdh

a. The summary of significant accounting policies is located in note 2 to the financial statements. Locate the section on property and equipment. What depreciation method does American Eagle use
Answer:
American Eagle uses the straight-line depreciation method in depreciating its property, plant, and equipment.
Explanation:
The straight-line depreciation method involves applying the same rate on the initial depreciable amount or the same amount of depreciation expense throughout the asset's useful life. For American Eagle, this method involves the estimation of the useful life of each property, plant, and equipment class. The company has established that its buildings have 25 years useful life, leasehold improvements 10 years, fixtures and equipment 5 years, while information technology assets have 3 to 5 years. This implies that after deducting any estimated salvage value, the depreciable amount (basis) of the asset is divided by the number of estimated useful life. For building, this can also be expressed in percentage terms as 4% (100/25); for leasehold improvements as 10% (100/10); for fixtures and equipment as 20% (100/5); and same for information technology.

Houston-based Advanced Electronics manufactures audio speakers for desktop computers. The following data relate to the period just ended when the company produced and sold 41,000 speaker sets:
Sales $3,362,000
Variable costs 840,500
Fixed costs 2,310,000
Management is considering relocating its manufacturing facilities to northern Mexico to reduce costs. Variable costs are expected to average $20.00 per set; annual fixed costs are anticipated to be $1,986,000.
Required:
1. Calculate the company’s current income and determine the level of dollar sales needed to double that figure, assuming that manufacturing operations remain in the United States.
2. Determine the break-even point in speaker sets if operations are shifted to Mexico.
3. Assume that management desires to achieve the Mexican break-even point; however, operations will remain in the United States.
4. If variable costs remain constant, by how much must fixed costs change?
5. If fixed costs remain constant, by how much must unit variable cost change?
6. Determine the impact (increase, decrease, or no effect) of the following operating changes.
A) Effect of an increase in direct material costs on the break-even point.
B) Effect of an increase in fixed administration costs on the unit contribution margin.
C) Effect of an increase in the unit contribution margin on net income.
D) Effect of a decrease in the number of units sold on the breakeven point.
Answer:
1. $211,500 and $3,644,000
2. 32,033 speaker sets (Mexican)
3. 32,033 speaker sets (Mexican required Break even)
4. $323,954 decrease
5. $11,11 decrease
6. Determining Effects :
A. decrease
B. no effect
C. increase
D. no effect
Explanation:
Part 1
a
Income = Contribution (Sales - Variable Costs) - Fixed Costs
therefore,
Income = $3,362,000 - $840,500 - $2,310,000 = $211,500
b
Double the figure of income = $211,500 x 2 = $423,000
Sales to achieve target profit = Target Profit + Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution Margin
where,
Contribution Margin = Contribution (Sales - Variable Costs) ÷ Sales
= ($3,362,000 - $840,500) ÷ $3,362,000
= 0.75
therefore,
Sales to achieve $423,000 profit = ($423,000 + $2,310,000) ÷ 0.75
= $3,644,000
Part 2
Break even point (speaker sets) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit
where,
Fixed Cost = $1,986,000
Contribution per unit = ($3,362,000 / 41,000) - $20.00 = $62.00
therefore,
Break even point (speaker sets) = $1,986,000 ÷ $62.00
= 32,033 speaker sets
Part 3
Mexico :
Break even point (speaker sets) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit
where,
Fixed Cost = $1,986,000
Contribution per unit = ($3,362,000 / 41,000) - $20.00 = $62.00
therefore,
Break even point (speaker sets) = $1,986,000 ÷ $62.00
= 32,033 speaker sets
United States :
Break even point (speaker sets) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit
where,
Fixed Cost = $2,310,000
Contribution per unit = ($3,362,000 / 41,000) - ($840,500 / 41,000) = $61.50
therefore,
Break even point (speaker sets) = $2,310,000 ÷ $61.50
= 37,561 speaker sets
Part 4
Break even point (speaker sets) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit
where,
US Fixed Cost = $2,310,000
Fixed Cost Required = Unknown
Contribution per unit = $82.00 - $20.00 = $62.00
therefore,
Fixed Cost = Breakeven Point x Contribution per unit
= 32,033 speaker sets x $62.00
= $1,986,046
Change in Fixed Costs = $323,954 decrease ($2,310,000 - $1,986,046)
Part 5
Break even point (speaker sets) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit
where,
US Fixed Cost = $2,310,000
US Contribution per unit = $82.00 - $20.00 = $62.00
Contribution per unit = $82.00 - V = Unknown
therefore,
Contribution per unit = Fixed Costs ÷ Breakeven point
= $2,310,000 ÷ 32,033 speaker sets
= $73.11
Variable Cost = Selling Price - Contribution per unit
= $82.00 - $73.11
= $8.89
Change in Variable Cost = $11,11 decrease ($20.00 - $8.89)
The amount of money you will still need after subtracting scholarships, grants, and work study will help determine the amount of money _____.
A.You need to borrow in loans or pay out of pocket
B.to accept in grants and scholarships
C.to set aside in savings
D.to use for room and board,books and other expenses
Answer:
A.
Explanation:
The amount of money needed after receiving some from scholarships, grants, and work study is the amount A. You need to borrow ..
A student's total amount needed after subtracting the amount received from scholarships, etc. is either funded through borrowings or from the student's own savings (pocket).
The total amount needed is not the amount from grants, for savings, or for other expenses.
It is the amount that the student still requires to cover all expenses which can be sourced from loans or own savings.
Thus, statement A is correct.

Jetison Industries makes batches of custom novelty items for companies to give away at career fairs. Job X24 for Xcel Corporation consists of 2,000 pens that light up inside the pen base when you write. In addition, the name and address of Xcel Corp. is printed on the pens. Direct material for these pens amount to $1,500; direct labor is $2,800; and manufacturing overhead is $1,600. Based on this information, what is the cost per pen for Job X24
Answer:
$2.95
Explanation:
The cost per pen for job X24 is computed as;
= Total cost of pen / Total output
Total cost of pen = Direct material + Direct labor + Manufacturing over head
Given that;
Direct material = $1,500
Direct labor = $2,800
Manufacturing over head = $1,600
Total output = 2,000 pen
= $1,500 + $2,800 + $1,600
= $5,900 / 2,000
= $2.95
Based on the various costs incurred to make the pen, the cost of a single pen is $2.95.
First find the total cost of producing all those pens:
= Direct material + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead
= 1,500 + 2,800 + 1,600
= $5,900
The cost per pen is:
= Overall cost of production / Number of pens produced
= 5,900 / 2,000
= $2.95
In conclusion, the cost per pen is $2.95.
