For each hypothetical scenario, indicate whether the tariff described is more likely a protective tariff or a revenue tariff.
a. In response to concerns from business leaders, a legislator has designed a new tariff on raw materials used by many manufacturing firms. The legislator felt the new tariff was necessary based on input from the private sector that new discoveries of natural re
sources abroad would threaten to put domestic producers of raw materials out of business. To meet this goal, this tariff will charge $1,500 on every crate of the imported goods plus an additional 6% of the total value of the imported goods.
b. In an effort to balance next year's budget, a senator has proposed a new tariff. She proposed the new tariff with a goal of raising a total of $100 million, To meet this goal, this tariff will charge $2,000 on every ton that is imported.

protective tariff since it is designed to protect domestic industries from competition of out of state producers. It is designed to increase the price of imported goods.b. In an effort to balance next year's budget, a senator has proposed a new tariff. She proposed the new tariff with a goal of raising a total of $100 million, To meet this goal, this tariff will charge $2,000 on every ton that is imported.
revenue tariff since its main purpose is to increase government revenue, not to protect domestic industries.The first scenario describes protective tariff whereas the second scenario explains revenue tariff.
What is protective and revenue tariff?In international trade, protective tariffs are applied on the imported goods to protect and prevent the domestic industries from competition.
In scenario a, a tariff of $1,500 and additional of 6% was charged on imported goods to protect the domestic producers. Therefore the first scenario describes protective tariff.
The revenue tariff on the other hand refers to a tariff that is designed with an intention to increase revenues.
The scenario b describes a tariff that was applied to reach the target revenue of $100 million. Therefore it is a revenue tariff.

Adams Company manufactures two products. The budgeted per-unit contribution margin for each product follows: Super Supreme Sales price $ 95 $ 124 Variable cost per unit (58 ) (74 ) Contribution margin per unit $ 37 $ 50 Adams expects to incur annual fixed costs of $227,880. The relative sales mix of the products is 60 percent for Super and 40 percent for Supreme. Required Determine the total number of products (units of Super and Supreme combined) Adams must sell to break even. How many units each of Super and Supreme must Adams sell to break even
Answer:
Expected contribution as per sales mix = $37*0.60 + $50*0.40
= $22.20 + $20
= $42.20 per unit
Total number of products in total at break even point = Total fixed cost / Contribution per unit
= $227,880 / $42.20 per unit
= 5,400 units
How many units each of Super and Supreme must Adams sell to break even?
According to sales mix:
Super = 5,400 * 60% = 3,240 units
Supreme = 5,400 * 40% = 2,160 units.
Rusty has been experiencing serious financial problems. His annual salary was $100,000, but a creditor garnished his salary for $20,000; so the employer paid the creditor (rather than Rusty) the $20,000. To prevent creditors from attaching his investments, Rusty gave his investments to his 21-year-old daughter, Rebecca. Rebecca received $5,000 in dividends and interest from the investments during the year. Rusty transferred some cash to a Swiss bank account that paid him $6,000 interest during the year. Rusty did not withdraw the interest from the Swiss bank account. Rusty also hid some of his assets in his wholly owned corporation that received $150,000 rent income but had $160,000 in related expenses, including a $20,000 salary paid to Rusty. Rusty reasons that his gross income should be computed as follows:
Salary received $80,000
Loss from rental property ($150,000-$160,000) (10,000)
Gross income $70,000
Compute rustys correct gross income for the year, and explain any differences between your calculation and rusty
Answer:
Rusty annual salary was $100,000.
Rusty will not be taxed on the interest and dividend amount of $5,000 as Rebecca is the owner of the assets that is producing this income.
Secondly, Rusty will also need to report the $6,000 interest income. This has to be reported even though it has not been withdrawn.
Thirdly, he received $20,000 as salary from his wholly owned corporation.
Salary from employer $100,000
Salary from wholly owned corporation $20,000
Dividends and interest from the investments $0
Interest from Swiss bank account $6,000
Rental loss incurred $0
Gross income $126,000

The journal entry that Vander makes on September 18 is:
Answer:
Date Account Debit Credit
September 18 Cash $3,537.80
Sales discount $ 72.20
Accounts Receivable $3,610
Explanation:
Net merchandise sold = 3,950 - 340
= $3,610
Sales discount is 2% if paid in 10 days which Jepson did.
= 2% * 3,610
= $72.20
Cash = Net sales - discount
= 3,610 - 72.20

Ann lives in Princeton, New Jersey, and commutes by train each day to her job in New York City (20 round trips per month). When the price of a round trip goes up from $10 to $20, she responds by consuming exactly the same number of trips as before, while spending $200 per month less on restaurant meals. Does the fact that her quantity of train travel is completely unresponsive to the price increase imply that Ann is not a rational consumer
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
makes a product with the following standards for direct labor and variable overhead: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Per Unit Direct labor 0.20 hours $ 26.00 per hour $ 5.20 Variable overhead 0.20 hours $ 6.20 per hour $ 1.24 In November the company's budgeted production was 6500 units, but the actual production was 6300 units. The company used 1550 direct labor-hours to produce this output. The actual variable overhead cost was $8990. The company applies variable overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The variable overhead rate variance for November is:
Answer:
See
Explanation:
Given that;
Direct labor hours used to produce this output = 1,550
Actual variable overhead cost = $8,990
Variable overhead per hour = $6.2
The variable overhead rate variance for July is;
= Direct labor hours used to produce this out put × (Actual variable overhead rate per hour - Variable overhead per hour)
= 1,550 × ($8,990/1,550 - $6.2)
= 1,550 × ($5.8 - $6.2)
= 1,550 × (-$0.4)
= $620 favorable

Explanation:
A management stock option gives enable managers to have legal right in order to purchase some certain number of shares with the fixed price during some time in future time. Though there are some condition that are needed to be satisfied such as continued employment. It should be noted that drawback to using stock options as part of manager compensation is that it can create an incentive for mangers to manipulate information to prop up a stock price
temporarily, giving them a chance to cash out before the price returns to a level reflective of the firm's true prospects.
While implementing an affirmative action plan, an employer is expected to do all of the following except:establish objectives that can be met by applying good faith efforts.set quotas for the underrepresented groups, and ensure they are met even if it is necessary to hire a less qualified candidate.make all employment decisions in a nondiscriminatory manner.ensure that hiring objectives do not establish a floor or a ceiling for employment of certain groups.
Answer:
set quotas for the underrepresented groups, and ensure they are met even if it is necessary to hire a less qualified candidate.
Explanation:
Business strategy sets the overall direction for the business because it focuses on defining how a business would achieve its goals, objectives, and mission; as well as the funds and material resources required to implement or execute the business plan.
Planning is a term used to describe the process of developing the organization's objectives and translating those into courses of action.
This ultimately implies that, planning is a strategic technique used by organizations to make an aggregate plan for its manufacturing (production) process typically ahead of time, in order to have an idea of the level of goods that are to be produced and what resources are required so as to reduce the total cost of production to its barest minimum.
While implementing an affirmative action plan, an employer is expected to do all of the following;
I. Establish objectives that can be met by applying good faith efforts.
II. Make all employment decisions in a nondiscriminatory manner.
III. Ensure that hiring objectives do not establish a floor or a ceiling for employment of certain groups.
Before preparing financial statements for the current year, the chief accountant for Oriole Company discovered the following errors in the accounts.
1. The declaration and payment of $47,000 cash dividend was recorded as a debit to Interest Expense $47,000 and a credit to Cash $47,000.
2. A 10% stock dividend (1,100 shares) was declared on the $10 par value stock when the market price per share was $19. The only entry made was Stock Dividends (Dr.) $11,000 and Dividend Payable (Cr.) $11,000. The shares have not been issued.
3. A 4-for-1 stock split involving the issue of 354,000 shares of $5 par value common stock for 91,750 shares of $20 par value common stock was recorded as a debit to Retained Earnings $1,835,000 and a credit to Common Stock $1,835,000.

Hughes Co. is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 22 percent for the next three years, with the growth rate falling off to a constant 5 percent thereafter. If the required return is 12 percent and the company just paid a $2.35 dividend, what is the current share price? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))
Answer: $53.94
Explanation:
Current share price is the present value of the dividends for the next 3 years and the terminal value in year 3.
Terminal value = D₄ / ( required return - growth rate)
= (2.35 * 1.22³ * 1.05) / (12 % - 5%)
= $64
D₁ = 2.35 * 1.22 = $2.867
D₂ = 2.867 * 1.22 = $3.49774
D₃ = 3.49774 * 1.22 = $4.2672428
Share price = (2.867 / (1 + 12%)) + (3.49774 / 1.12²) + (4.2672428 / 1.12³) + (64/1.12³)
= $53.94
Suppose Dan’s cost of making pizzas is C(Q) = 4Q + (Q2/40), and his marginal cost is MC = 4 + (Q/20). Dan is a price taker. (a) What is Dan’s supply function? (b) What is Dan’s supply function if he has an avoidable fixed cost of $10? [HINT: Recall that Dan will not supply anything unless P > min AC(Q). So, as a first step, you need to find AC(Q) from C(Q). In part (a), finding min AC(Q) is easy and you should be able to do so just by looking at the formula for AC (Q). For part (b), you can find the minimum of AC by using the fact that AC(Q) = MC(Q) at the minimum point of AC.]
Answer:
(a) Dan’s supply function S(P) can be stated as follows:
S(P)= 0 If P<4.
And S(P) = 20P- 80 If P≥4
(b) Dan’s supply function S(P) can be stated as follows:
S(P)= 0 If P<5.
And S(P) = 20P- 80 If P≥5.
Explanation:
Note that the equations given in the question can be correctly stated as follows:
C(Q) = 4Q + (Q^2/40) .................. (1)
MC = 4 + (Q/20) ............................ (2)
Therefore, we can now proceed as follows:
(a) What is Dan’s supply function?
The upward portion of the MC curve is the supply function of Dan.
Equating equation (2) to P, we have:
P = 4+ (Q/20)
P- 4 = Q/20
Q = 20P -80
The shutdown rule is that P > AVCmin
AVC = C(Q) / Q .................. (3)
Substituting equation (1) into (3), we have:
AVC = ( 4Q + Q^2/40)/ Q
AVC = 4 + (Q/40) ............... (4)
Since MC cuts the AVC at its minimum, equations (2) and (4) are then equated to solve Q which is the output level at which AVC is minimum as follows:
4 + (Q/20) = 4 + (Q/40)
(Q/20) - (Q/40) = 4 - 4
(Q/20) - (Q/40) = 0
Q = 0
Substituting Q = 0 into equation (4), we have:
AVCmin = 4+ (0/40)
AVCmin = 4
This implies that Dan will produce at any price ≥ $4.
Therefore, Dan’s supply function S(P) can be stated as follows:
S(P)= 0 If P<4.
And S(P) = 20P- 80 If P≥ 4.
(b) What is Dan’s supply function if he has an avoidable fixed cost of $10?
Since there is now a fixed cost, equation (1) becomes:
C(Q) = 4Q + (Q^2/40) + 10 ................. (5)
And the average cost (AC) will be as follows:
AC = (4Q + (Q2/40) + 10)/Q
AC = 4 + (Q/40) + (10/Q) .................... (6)
Since AC = MC when AC at its minimum, equations (2) and (6) are therefore equated to solve for Q as follows:
4 + (Q/40) + (10/Q) = 4 + (Q/20)
(Q/40) + (10/Q) = (Q/20)
Q = 20
Divide through by Q, we have:
(1/40) + (10/Q^2) = (1/20)
10/Q^2 = (1/20) - (1/40)
10/Q^2 = 0.05 - 0.025
10/Q^2 = 0.025
Q^2 = 10 / 0.025
Q^2 = 400
Q = [tex]\sqrt{400}[/tex]
Q = 20
Substituting Q = 20 into equation (6), we have:
AC = 4 + (20/40) + (10/20)
AC = $5
This implies that Dan will produce at any price ≥ $5.
Therefore, Dan’s supply function S(P) can be stated as follows:
S(P)= 0 If P<5.
And S(P) = 20P- 80 If P≥ 5
A small town is considering paving paradise hotel to put up a parking lot. The land will cost $25,000 and the construction of the lot is estimated to be $150,000. Each year, costs associated with the parking lot are estimated to be $17,500. The income from the lot is expected to be $18,000 the first year and increase by $3,500 each year for the 12 year life of the lot. Determine the B/C ratio if interest rate is 12%. [4 points]
Answer:
0.71
Explanation:
The benefit cost ratio is used to determine the profitability of an investor. It is determined by dividing the present value of benefit by the present value of cost
Benefit cost ratio (BC) = present value of benefits / present value of costs
if BC is greater than 1, the project is profitable
If BC is less than 1, the project is not profitable
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator
Present value of the benefits
Cash flow in year 1 = $18,000
Cash flow in year 2 = $18,000 + 3500 = $21500
Cash flow in year 3 = $18,000 + (3500 x 2) = $25,000
Cash flow in year 4 = $18,000 + (3500 x 3) = $28500
Cash flow in year 5 = $18,000 + (3500 x 4) = $32,000
Cash flow in year 6 = $18,000 + (3500 x 5) = $35,500
Cash flow in year 7 = $18,000 + (3500 x 6) = $39,000
Cash flow in year 8 = $18,000 + (3500 x 7) = $42,500
Cash flow in year 9 = $18,000 + (3500 x 8) = $46,000
Cash flow in year 10 = $18,000 + (3500 x 9) = $49500
Cash flow in year 11 = $18,000 + (3500 x 10) = $53,000
Cash flow in year 12 = $18,000 + (3500 x 11) = $56,500
I = 12 %
PV = $202,331.70
Present value of the cost
Cash flow in year 0 = $25,000 + $150,000 = $175,000
Cash flow in year 1 to 12 = $17,500.
I = 12 %
PV = $283,401.55

Paul Company had 100,000 shares of common stock outstanding on January 1, 2021. On September 30, 2021, Paul sold 40,000 shares of common stock for cash. Paul also had 6,000 shares of convertible preferred stock outstanding throughout 2021. The preferred stock is $100 par, 6%, and is convertible into 3 shares of common for each share of preferred. Paul also had 420, 8%, convertible bonds outstanding throughout 2021. Each $1,000 bond is convertible into 30 shares of common stock. The bonds sold originally at face value. Reported net income for 2021 was $270,000 with a 40% tax rate. Common shareholders received $1.20 per share dividends after preferred dividends were paid in 2021.
Required: Compute basic and diluted earnings per share for 2021. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Basic EPS = [$270,000 - (6% * $100 * 6,000)] / [100,000 + 40,000 * 3/12]
Basic EPS = [$270,000 - $36,000] / 35,000
Basic EPS = $234,000 / 35,000
Basic EPS = 6.685714285714286
Basic EPS = 6.69
Diluted EPS = [$270,000 + ($420,00*8%*60%)] / [100000 + 40,000 * 3/12 + (420*30) + (6,000*3)]
Diluted EPS = [$270,000 + $2,016] / [35,000 + 12600 + 18,000]
Diluted EPS = $272,016 / 65,600
Diluted EPS = 4.146585365853659
Diluted EPS = $4.15

b) A positive speech is one whose intention is to motivate, give praise, offer positive feedback, etc. Therefore, in responses, messages of goodwill, direct claims, positive speech will help in better understanding of the sender and in the positive positioning of the company.
c) A negative discourse occurs when there is bad news to be shared, it is necessary that this message is written in a soft way, with damping words and indirectly, because this way the acceptability can be greater.
Which of the following statements about real and nominal interest rates is correct? A. An increase in the real interest rate is necessarily accompanied by either an increase in the nominal interest rate, an increase in the inflation rate, or both. B. When the inflation rate is positive, the nominal interest rate is necessarily greater than the real interest rate. C. When the nominal interest rate is rising, the real interest rate is necessarily rising; when the nominal interest rate is falling, the real interest rate is necessarily falling. D. If the nominal interest rate is 4 percent and the inflation rate is 3 percent, then the real interest rate is 7 percent.
Answer:
B. When the inflation rate is positive, the nominal interest rate is necessarily greater than the real interest rate.
Explanation:
A real interest rate can be regarded as
an interest rate that adjustment has been made on in order to remove the effects of inflation so that the real cost of funds to the borrower as well as real yield to the lender can be reflected. A nominal interest rate on the other hand can be regarded as interest rates calculated before consideration of inflation. It should be noted that When the inflation rate is positive, the nominal interest rate is necessarily greater than the real interest rate.

A Giffen good is a good for which price and quantity demanded are positively related. A Giffen good arises when:_______.
a. the income effect and the substitution effect move quantity demanded in opposite directions, with the income effect outweighing the substitution effect.
b. the income effect and the substitution effect move quantity demanded in opposite directions, with the substitution effect outweighing the income effect.
c. the income effect and the substitution effect move quantity demanded in the same direction, with the income effect outweighing the substitution effect.
d. the income effect and the substitution effect move quantity demanded in the same direction, with the substitution effect outweighing the income effect.
Answer:
a
Explanation:
A giffen good is a good whose quantity demanded increases with price increase and reduces with price decreases. This leads to an upward sloping demand curve which is not in line with the law of demand
Example of a giffen good is bread.
For a giffen good there would a negative income effect and a positive substitution effect but the income effect would outweigh the substitution effect

Maxim Corp. has provided the following information about one of its products: Date Transaction Number of Units Cost per Unit 1/1 Beginning Inventory 200 $ 140 6/5 Purchase 400 $ 160 11/10 Purchase 100 $ 200 During the year, Maxim sold 400 units. What is cost of goods sold using the average cost method
Answer:
$64,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the cost of goods sold using the average cost method
First step is to calculate the Average cost
Average cost = [(200 × $140) + (400 × $160) + (100 × $200)] ÷ 700 units
Average cost= $160
Now let calculate the Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold = $160 × 400 units
Cost of goods sold = $64,000
Therefore the cost of goods sold using the average cost method will be $64,000
Compute cost of goods sold for the period using the following information. Finished goods inventory, beginning $ 354,000 Work in process inventory, beginning 83,000 Work in process inventory, ending 77,100 Cost of goods manufactured 944,200 Finished goods inventory, ending 292,000
Answer:
the cost of goods sold is $1,006,200
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of goods sold is shown below:
As we know that
Cost of goods sold = Opening finished goods + cost of goods manufactured - closing finished goods
= $354,000 + $944,200 - $292,000
= $1,006,200

Grant Industries, a manufacturer of electronic parts, has recently received an invitation to bid on a special order for 20,500 units of one of its most popular products. Grant currently manufactures 41,000 units of this product in its Loveland, Ohio, plant. The plant is operating at 50% capacity. There will be no marketing costs on the special order. The sales manager of Grant wants to set the bid at $13 because she is sure that Grant will get the business at that price. Others on the executive committee of the firm object, saying that Grant would lose money on the special order at that price.
Units 41,000 61,500
Manufacturing costs:
Direct materials $123,000 $184,500
Direct labor 164,000 246,000
Factory overhead 328,000 430,500
Total manufacturing costs$615,000 $861,000
Unit cost $15 $14
Required:
1. What is the relevant cost per unit and the bid price?
2. What would the total opportunity cost be if by accepting the special order the company lost sales of 6,500 units to its regular customers?
Answer:
Missing word "What would the total opportunity cost be if by accepting the special order the company lost sales of 6,500 units to its regular customers? Assume the above facts plus a normal selling price of $24 per unit."
Variable factory overhead per unit = (430,500 - 328,000) / 20,500 = $5
Direct materials per unit = $123,000 / 41,000 = $3
Direct labor per unit = 164,000 / 41,000 = $4
1. Relevant cost per unit = Direct materials per unit + Direct labor per unit + Variable factory overhead
Relevant cost per unit = $5 + $4 + $3
Relevant cost per unit = $12
So, the bid price should be above $10 per unit
2. Total opportunity cost would be the total contribution margin lost for the lost sales to the regular customer
Total opportunity cost = Loss of regular sales revenue - Total relevant cost for lost sales
Total opportunity cost = (6,500*$24) - (6,500*$12)
Total opportunity cost = $156,000 - $78,000
Total opportunity cost = $78,000
1. The relevant cost per unit for Grant Industries is $7.00 ($123,000 + $164,000)/41,000 or ($184,500 + $246,000)/61,500.
2. The total opportunity cost of accepting the special order when the company lost sales of 6,500 units from its regular customers is $12,500.
What are the relevant costs and opportunity costs?The relevant costs describe the avoidable costs that could be stopped if a decision is taken.
For example, if Grant Industries decides to take the special order, the relevant decision-making cost is $7 per unit and not $14 per unit.
The opportunity costs are costs that are not incurred based on taking an alternative decision. It also describes the lost revenue when some sales are lost for the special order.
For example, the total opportunity costs incurred by Grant Industries for taking the special order instead of attending to the regular customers with 6,500 units demand is $12,500.
Data and Calculations:Special order = 20,500 units
Current production = 41,000 units
Current operational capacity = 50%
Total capacity = 82,000 (41,000/50%)
Bid price = $13 per unit
New production based on special order = 61,500 (41,000 + 20,500)
Production Data Per Unit Per Bid
Units 41,000 61,500
Manufacturing costs:
Direct materials $123,000 $184,500
Direct labor 164,000 246,000
Factory overhead 328,000 430,500
Total manufacturing costs $615,000 $861,000
Unit cost $15 $14
Question 2 Completion:Assume the above facts plus a normal selling price of $24 per unit."
The opportunity cost of lost sales:Lost sales units = 6,500
Contribution per unit = $17 ($24 - $7)
Total contribution margin = $110,500 ($6,500 x $17)
Contribution margin from special order = $123,000 ($13 - $7 x 20,500)
Thus, the opportunity cost of lost sales is $12,500 ($123,000 - $110,500).

Assume that a company cannot determine the market value of equipment acquired by reference to a similar purchase for cash. Explain how the company determines the cost of equipment purchased by exchanging it for each of the following 3 items: Bonds having an established market price. Bonds that do not have an established market price. Common stock not having an established market price. Similar equipment having a determinable market value.
Solution :
Let us suppose that a company cannot predict the market value of an equipment that acquired by the reference to the similar purchase for the cash. Thus the company finds cost of purchased of the equipment by exchanging :
-- the market price of the bonds when they have an established price in the market.
-- the market price of the bonds when the common stocks does not have a established market price.
-- market price of the equipment when the similar kind of an equipment have a determinable value in the market.
