1 pts A $1.50 tax levied on the buyers of pomegranate juice will shift the demand curve Group of answer choices upward by exactly $1.50. upward by less than $1.50. downward by exactly $1.50. downward by less than $1.50.
Answer:
downward by exactly $1.50
Explanation:
The market for agricultural products is perfectly competitive
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
Consumers demand in perfect competition is elastic
If prices increases, the demand curve shifts downward by exactly the increase in price
Describe the organizational structure of your school or company. What difficulties have you encountered working within this structure
Answer:
My company have a centralized structure of management framework. Under this structure all the decisions are made by the executive level managers of the company.

Big Canyon Enterprises has bonds on the market making annual payments, with 16 years to maturity, a par value of $1,000, and a price of $957. At this price, the bonds yield 9 percent. What must the coupon rate be on the bonds
Answer:
8.48%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What must the coupon rate be on the bonds
First step is to find the coupon rate of the bond.
Coupon payment = $957 = C(PVIFA9.0%,16) + $1,000(PVIF9.0%,16)
Solving for the coupon payment will give us C= $84.83
Now let calculate the coupon rate using this formula
Coupon rate= Coupon payment/ Par value
Let plug in the formula
Coupon rate = $84.83 / $1,000
Coupon rate = .0848*100
Coupon rate =8.48%
Therefore the coupon rate on the bonds is 8.48%
Compute the direct materials price variance and the direct materials quantity variance. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting for favorable, unfavorable, and no variance. Round "Cost per unit" answers to 2 decimal places.) AQ = Actual Quantity SQ = Standard Quantity AP = Actual Price SP = Standard Price
Question Completion:
A manufactured product has the following information for June.
Standard Actual
Direct materials 6 lbs. at $8 per lb. 48,500 lbs. at $8.10 per lb.
Direct labor 2 hrs. at $16 per hr. 15,700 hrs. at $16.50 per hr.
Overhead 2 hrs. at $12 per hr. $198,000
Units manufactured 8,000
Answer:
Direct materials price variance = $4,850 U
Direct materials quantity variance = $4,000 U
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Actual Standard
Direct materials price per lbs $8.10 $8.00
Direct labor rate per hour $16.50 $16.00
Quantity:
Direct materials 48,500 48,000 (6 * 8,000)
Direct labor hours 15,700 16,000 (2 * 8,000)
Direct materials price variance = SP - AP * AQ
= $8 - $8.10 * 48,500
= $0.10 * 48,500
= $4,850 U
Direct materials quantity variance = SQ - AQ * SP
= 48,000 - 48,500 * $8
= $4,000 U
Suppose the Chester company shifts focus to only competing in the Thrift and Nano segments, while competing on price by reducing costs and passing the savings to the customers, what strategy would they be implementing
Answer: c. Niche cost leader
Explanation:
Niche marketing is when a company focuses on a particular market or good. It is usually done to become more efficient in that niche such that one can dominate the market and become more profitable.
When Chester focuses on these markets with the aim of reducing costs, they are trying to be a cost leader in this niche which means that they are trying to produce at the least cost so that they can charge cheaper prices and capture more market share in this particular niche.
A department adds all raw materials to a process at the beginning of the process and incurs conversion costs uniformly throughout the process. For the month of January, there were no units in the beginning work in process inventory; 89100 units were started into production in January; and there were 19200 units that were 50% complete in the ending work in process inventory at the end of January. What were the equivalent units of production for materials for the month of January?
Answer:
the equivalent units of production for materials for the month of January is 89,100 units
Explanation:
The computation of the equivalent units of production for materials for the month of January is shown below:
= Units completed + completed units in ending inventory
= (89,100 units - 19,200 units) + 19,200 units
= 69,900 units + 19,200 units
= 89,100 units
hence, the equivalent units of production for materials for the month of January is 89,100 units

Applications that integrate business activities across departmental boundaries are often referred to as _____________ planning systems.
Answer:
Enterprise resource.
Explanation:
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is a business strategy process where organizations manage and integrate the main parts of their day-to-day business activities by using software applications.
The ERP software system is used to integrate planning, accounting, finance, marketing and human resources.
For instance, when an organization is replacing a payroll program that it developed in house, with the relevant subsystem of a commercial Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, It should be noted that a faulty migration of historical data from the old system to the new system represent the highest potential risk because you won't be able to measure and analyze performance.
Hence, software applications or programs that integrate all business activities across departmental boundaries such as marketing, procurement, customer relationship, sales, etc., are often referred to as enterprise resource planning systems.
The major advantage of a regular partnership or a corporation as a form of business organization is the fact that both offer their owners limited liability, whereas proprietorships do not. True False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Some owners of a regular partnership (limited liability partnership) or a corporation (S-corporation) enjoy limited liability, unlike the owners of proprietorships, whose business liabilities and solvency are backed with the personal assets of the owners. The owners of a C-corporation enjoy full limited liability unless the corporate veil is lifted by the court, depending on prevailing circumstances. With limited liability also comes limited participation in the management of the entity.

The following standards for variable manufacturing overhead have been established for a company that makes only one product: Standard hours per unit of output 6.4 hours Standard variable overhead rate $12.80 per hour The following data pertain to operations for the last month: Actual hours 2,650 hours Actual total variable manufacturing overhead cost $34,570 Actual output 150 units What is the variable overhead efficiency variance for the month
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the following;
Standard hours per unit of output 6.4 hours
Standard variable overhead rate $12.80 per hour
Actual hours 2,650 hours
Actual output 150 units
To calculate the variable overhead efficiency variance, we will use the formula below;
Variable overhead efficiency variance
= (Standard quantity - Actual quantity) × Standard rate
Standard quantity = 150 units × 6.4 = 960
Variable overhead efficiency variance
= (960 - 2,650) × $12.80
= $21,632 unfavourable
Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Assume that the project being considered has normal cash flows, with one outflow followed by a series of inflows. Group of answer choices To find a project's IRR, we must find a discount rate that is equal to the WACC. A project's IRR is found by discounting the cash inflows at the WACC to find the present value (PV), then compounding this PV to find the IRR. None of these Answers To find a project's MIRR, we must solve for the discount rate that causes the PV of the inflows to equal the PV of the project's costs. A project's MIRR is found by compounding the cash inflows at the WACC to find the terminal value (TV), then discounting this TV at the WACC
Zubin Ltd. had set the transfer price at $40 for the purchase of goods from its U.S. subsidiary. But the IRS audited the transfer price and determined that it should have been using a transfer price of $190. Assuming the adjustment results in an increase in U.S. tax liability of $200,000. Determine the penalty amount.
Answer:
Zubin Ltd.
The Penalty amount is:
Minimum = $10,000
Maximum = $50,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Company set transfer price = $40
IRs determined transfer price = $190
Increase in U.S. tax liability = $200,000
IRS penalty rate = 5% minimum for each month of default and not exceeding 25% maximum
Therefore, the penalty amount:
Minimum = $10,000 (5% of $200,000)
Maximum = $50,000 (25% of $200,000)
A potential complication for successful price discrimination is a. multiple demand elasticities among consumers. b. the presence of a price maker in a market full of price takers. c. a product or service for which consumers value differently. d. other industry firms also practicing price discrimination. e. the potential for consumers to resell a product or service.
Answer: e. the potential for consumers to resell a product or service
Explanation:
Price discrimination refers to a practice by a producer/seller where they sell the same goods at different prices to different markets in order to make more profit.
Problems can arise if customers begin to resell these goods because some customers could buy it from markets where the producer charges less and sell it in markets where the producer charges more which would allow them to make profit at the producer's expense because they would be competing with the producer with the producer's own goods.
Timeless Corporation issued preferred stock with a par value of $600. The stock promised to pay an annual dividend equal to 20.0% of the par value. If the appropriate discount rate for this stock is 13.0%, what is the value of the stock
Answer:
$923.08
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the value of stock
Annual Dividend = 20%*600 = D = 120
Discount rate = r = 13% = 0.13
Value of the preferred stock can be calculated using the perpetuity formula:
Value of the dividend = P = D/r = 120/0.13 = $923.08
Therefore the value of stock is $923.08
DW has an ending Retained Earnings balance of $51,600. If during the year DW paid dividends of $4,100 and had net income of $21,100, then what was the beginning Retained Earnings balance
Answer:
$34,600
Explanation:
The computation of beginning retained earnings balance is seen below:
But we know that;
Ending balance of retained earnings = Beginning balance of retained earnings + Net income - Dividend paid
$51,600 = Beginning retained earnings + $21,100 - $4,100
Beginning retained earnings = $51,600 - $21,100 + $4,100
Beginning retained earnings = $34,600
Suppose you've just inherited $10,000 from a relative. You're trying to decide whether to put the $10,000 in a non-interest-bearing account so that you can use it whenever you want (that is, hold it as money) or to use it to buy a U.S. Treasury bond.
The opportunity cost of holding the inheritance as money depends on the interest rate on the bond.
For each of the interest rates in the following table, compute the opportunity cost of holding the $10,000 as money.
Interest Rate on Government Bond (Percent) Opportunity Cost (Dollars per year)
8 _____ (10,000.00 / 800.00 / 0.08 / 8.00 / 125,000.00)
10 _____ (10,000.00 / 10.00 / 100,000.00 / 1,000.00 / 0.10)
What does the previous analysis suggest about for money?
a. The quantity of money demanded decreases as the interest rate rises.
b. The quantity of money demanded increases as the interest rate rises.
c. The supply of money is independent of interest rate.
Answer:
A. $800
B. $1,000
C. a. The quantity of money demanded decreases as the interest rate rises
Explanation:
A. Computation for the opportunity cost of holding the $10,000 as money if Interest Rate is 8%
Opportunity Cost for 8% interest rate=$8%*$10,000
Opportunity Cost for 8% interest rate= $800
Therefore the opportunity cost of holding the $10,000 as money if Interest Rate is 8% will be $800
B. Computation for the opportunity cost of holding the $10,000 as money if Interest Rate is 10%
Opportunity Cost for 10% interest rate =10%*$10,000
Opportunity Cost for 10% interest rate = $1,000
Therefore the opportunity cost of holding the $10,000 as money if Interest Rate is 10% will be $1,000
C. Based on the information given the previous analysis suggest about for money: THE QUANTITY OF MONEY DEMANDED DECREASES AS THE INTEREST RATE RISES.
Assume your entry price for both long and short positions is $50 and you would like to set the reward-risk ratio (RRR) at 1.2. Calculate the profit and loss exit points for both long and short positions.
Answer:
Long Position
Profit exit point: sell limit= 8.33
Loss exit point= 41.66
Short Position
Lost exit point: buy stop= 58
Profit exit point:buy limit=40
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the profit and loss exit points for both long and short positions.
LONG POSITION profit and loss exit points
First step is to calculate the Profit exit point: sell limit
Profit exit point: sell limit=( 50x10% )/1.2
Profit exit point: sell limit=$10/1.2
Profit exit point: sell limit= 8.33
Now let calculate the Loss exit point
Loss exit point=50-8.33
Loss exit point= 41.66
SHORT POSITION profit and loss exit points
Lost exit point: buy stop=20%/x=1.2
Lost exit point: buy stop=20%/2
Lost exit point: buy stop=1.6
Lost exit point: buy stop= 50+(50x1.6)
Lost exit point: buy stop= 58
Now let calculate the Profit exit point:buy limit:
Profit exit point:buy limit=50-(50*.20)
Profit exit point:buy limit=40

In 1 to 2 paragraphs, analyze how a person's ethics or values might affect his performance on the job
Answer:
In simple words, Individual workers' ethical convictions have an impact on team and department productivity as well as individual achievement. Being an ethical worker allows you to be a stronger team participant constantly contributing positively in group situations and just never impeding collective success.
Even though all individuals are important in and of themselves, ethical individuals can be more monetarily useful to their companies as well as more respected by their colleagues and competitors. Reflecting on workplace ethics may help you become a better employee, and it's a good thing to begin if you want to do the right thing all of the time.
Answer:
How can poor ethics devalue you as an asset on the team? Well, if you have poor moral standards and beliefs and what not, people can somewhat easily identify your personality as a negative trait. However if you're a good person with good values and spot on ethics, people will quickly realize that you're a good asset to have on the team.
Your energy, work ethic, and values also determine how good or bad your work ethic is.

A perfectly elastic supply curve is: Group of answer choices upward sloping to the right. vertical. horizontal. downward sloping to the left.
Answer:
vertical
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.
