Explanation:
Question 1 (14 points)
Imagine that you own your business. You are producing a product (it could be a service). You would like to differentiate your product.
a. (6 points) Why would you want to differentiate your product?
b. (8 points) How would you do it? How would your product differ? Please provide a specific product: a detailed explanation of your original product and how you would differentiate it. Please do not use the examples covered in class.
Question 2 (15 points)
Imagine that you own your business. It does not need to be the same as in other questions, you are allowed to pick a different firm or product. Imagine further that you or your consumers face an asymmetric information problem.
a. (5 points) Please explain in detail what this asymmetric information problem, and who is facing it (your firm or your consumers).
b. (10 points) Please explain how you solved this problem.
Question 3 (11 points)
Imagine that you own your business. It does not need to be the same as in other questions, you are allowed to pick a different firm or product.
a. (3 points) Think about your production process. Please explain the technology that you use in the production process.
b. (8 points) How do you think the technology that you use, affects the market structure and/or the demand of your product? Note that this question is NOT about how technology affects your production process, therefore, NOT about productivity, NOT about the cost structure.
Answer:
a. (6 points) Why would you want to differentiate your product?
Because differentiating your product is one of the two basic business strategies, the other one being reducing the price of the product. Differentiating your product allows you to gain competitiveness in a contested market.
b. (8 points) How would you do it? How would your product differ?
An product that can be differentiated is a yogurt. The market for yogurt is very competitive so differentiation is necessary. The yogurt could be flavored in less common ways: like saffron, kiwi or cucumber, and the technique could be adapted from Greek Yogurt to give a healthier style.
a. (5 points) Please explain in detail what this asymmetric information problem, and who is facing it (your firm or your consumers).
The problem of asymmetric information occurs when one party of the transaction has more information than the other party. In a typical business transaction, the managers of the firm have more information than consumers, so consumers would be facing the problem of asymmetric information.
b. (8 points) How do you think the technology that you use, affects the market structure and/or the demand of your product?
Technology can make the market structure more competitive or less, but it usually makes it more competitive. Technology also improves the productiviy and efficiency of the production process, which leads to costs reductions than pass through price. This in turn raises demands for the product.

Using a method similar to that used to calculate the consumer price index, the percentage change in the overall price level is__________
Using a method similar to that used to calculate the GDP deflator, the percentage change of the overall price level is ____________ Which of the following statements is correct? Check all that apply.
a. The inflation rate in 2018 is not the same using the two methods.
b. The CPI allows the basket of goods and services to change.
c. The GDP deflator holds the basket of goods and services constant.
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.

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)
As she prepared financial documents to be discussed at her company's

What is the value of the objective function
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

Locate the website of any company that publishes a corporate social responisbility report (also referred to as a sustainability report). Describe three nonfinancial performance measures included in the report. Why do you think the company publishes this report
Answer:
Employee turnover
Customer complains
Repairs and warranty claims
Explanation:
Corporate social responsibility is an important part which is included in financial statements. The companies report their attitude towards the betterment of society and ensure that there is no harm to the society and environment by the business activities. Non financial measures are important as they are contributors to business success. Employees turnover should not be high as it indicates the customers that business is not motivating its employees and retaining skilled employee is difficult for the business.
Cullumber Corp. had total variable costs of $247,500, total fixed costs of $193,500, and total revenues of $450,000. Compute the required sales in dollars to break even.
Answer:
$430,000
Explanation:
The first step is to calculate the contribution margin
= revenues-variable cost
= $450,000-$247,500
= $202,500
The contribution margin ratio can be calculated as follows
= 202,500/450,000
= 0.45×100
= 45%
Therefore the required sales to break even in dollars can be calculated as follows
= 193,500/45
= 4300×100
= $430,000

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

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

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.

Perrette Motor Company rebuilds automobile engines that have been damaged or are in need of extensive repair. The rebuilt engine has a 100,000-mile warranty and is purchased by auto shops, large motor pools in companies and governmental units, and some individual auto owners. The plant at Dayton, Ohio, specializes in the Ford V6 engine. Approximately 630 to 830 engines are rebuilt each month, and the costs of the plant are assigned to monthly production using weighted-average process costing. The current month began with a work-in-process inventory of 120 engines which were 50% complete for materials and 50% complete for conversion costs. The materials cost in beginning work-in-process was $68,000, while the conversion cost was $73,200. A total of 530 engines were completed and shipped out during the month, and total materials cost of $636,000 and conversion cost of $731,400 were incurred during the month. The ending work-in-process of 220 units was 50% complete for materials and 30% complete for conversion costs.

The Kreidler Kids company can produce swing sets for $1,000. Kendra wants a new swing set for her children and will pay $1,500 for it. Kendra finds the swing set she wants and pays $1,500 for it from the Kreidler Kids company. The Kreidler Kids company has
Answer:
The Kreidler Kids company has a producer surplus of $500.
Explanation:
Producer surplus can be described or calculated as the amount a producer is willing to supply or sell goods and the actual amount the supplier received.
For this question, the producer surplus can therefore be calculated as follows:
The amount Kreidler Kids company can produce swing sets = $1,000
The amount paid by Kendra for the the swing set = $1,500
Producer surplus = The amount paid by Kendra for the the swing set - The amount Kreidler Kids company can produce swing sets = $1,500 - $1,000 = $500
Therfore, the Kreidler Kids company has a producer surplus of $500.
