Consider a specific example of the special-interest effect. In 2012, it was estimated that the total value of all corn-production subsidies in the United States was about $3 billion. The population of the United States was approximately 300 million people that year.
A. On average, how much did corn subsidies cost per person in the United States in 2012?
B. If each person in the United States is willing to spend only $0.50 to support efforts to overturn the corn subsidy, and if antisubsidy advocates can only raise funds from 10% of the population, how much money will they be able to raise for their lobbying efforts?
C. If the recipients of corn subsidies donate just 1% of the total amount that they receive in subsidies, how much could they raise to support lobbying efforts to continue the corn subsidy?
D. By how many dollars does the amount raised by the recipients of the corn subsidy exceed the amount raised by the opponents of the corn subsidy?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A) $10 per person

B) $15000000

C) $30000000

D) $15000000

Explanation:

A) Cost of corn subsidies per person in the United States in 2012 = 3 billion/300 million = 3000000000/300000000 = $10 per person

B) We are told that 10 percent of 300 million population are those willing to provide funding. Thus;

Number of people providing funding = 10% × 300 million = 30,000,000

Each of these 30,000,000 people are willing to only provide $0.50.

Thus;

total funding raised for their lobbying efforts = $0.50 × 30,000,000

total funding raised for their lobbying efforts = $15000000

C) We are told that the recipients of corn subsidies donated just 1% of the total amount which they received via subsidies. Thus;

Amount raise to support lobbying efforts to continue the corn subsidy =

1% × $3 billion = $30000000

D). the difference between which the amount raised by the recipients of the corn subsidy exceeds that of the amount raised by the opponents of the corn subsidy = $30000000 - $15000000 = $15000000

Cordova, Inc., reported the following receivables in its December 31, 2020, year-end balance sheet: Current assets: Accounts receivable, net of $48,000 in allowance for uncollectible accounts $ 380,000 Interest receivable 21,100 Notes receivable 380,000 Additional information: The notes receivable account consists of two notes, a $120,000 note and a $260,000 note. The $120,000 note is dated October 31, 2020, with principal and interest payable on October 31, 2021. The $260,000 note is dated March 31, 2020, with principal and 10% interest payable on March 31, 2021. During 2021, sales revenue totaled $2,080,000, $1,940,000 cash was collected from customers, and $37,000 in accounts receivable were written off. All sales are made on a credit basis. Bad debt expense is recorded at year-end by adjusting the allowance account to an amount equal to 10% of year-end gross accounts receivable.
Required:
1. In addition to sales revenue, what revenue and expense amounts related to receivables will appear in Cordova’s 2021 income statement?
2. Calculate the receivables turnover ratio for 2021. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)?

Answers

Answer:

1) interest on $110,000 note = $21,000 - ($260,000 x 10% x 9/12) = $1,500

interest per month = $1,500 / 2 = $750

interest revenue = ($260,000 x 10% x 3/12) + ($750 x 10) = $14,000

ending gross accounts receivable = $380,000 + $2,080,000 - $1,940,000 = $520,000

bad debt expense = $520,000 x 10% = $52,000

interest revenue = $14,000

bad debt expense = $52,000

2) receivables turnover = sales / average accounts receivables = $2,080,000 / [($380,000 + $468,000)/2] = $2,080,000 / $424,000 = 4.91

Explanation:

The Field Detergent Company sold merchandise to the Abel Company on June 30, 2016. Payment was made in the form of a noninterest-bearing note requiring Abel to pay $85,000 on June 30, 2018. Assume that a 10% interest rate properly reflects the time value of money in this situation.
Required: Calculate the amount at which Field should record the note receivable and corresponding sales revenue on June 30, 2016.

Answers

Answer:

$70,248

Explanation:

Calculation for the amount at which Field should record the note receivable and corresponding sales revenue on June 30, 2016

Using financial calculator to determine the PV of Note

Using this formula

PV of Note = Future value x PVF (i%, n)

Where,

Future value=85,000

n=2 year(2016-2018)

i= 10%

Let plug in the formula

PV Note= 85,000 x PVF (10%, 2)

PV Note= 85,000 x 0.82645

PV Note= $70,248

Therefore the amount at which Field should record the note receivable and corresponding sales revenue on June 30, 2016 is $70,248

VI. Here we consider the paradox of saving one last time in the context of the AS-AD model. Suppose the economy begins with output equal to its natural level. Then there is a decrease in consumer confidence, as households attempt to increase their saving, for a given level of disposable income. a. In AS-AD and IS-LM diagrams, show the effects of the decline in consumer confidence in the short run and the medium run. Explain why curves shift in your diagrams. b. What happens to output, the interest rate, and the price level in the short run

Answers

Answer:

The solution to this question can be defined as follows:

Explanation:

In point a:

When consumer interest decreases, => consumers begin and save less and more, => MPC decreases; => the "IS" curve becomes flatter; => "IS" turns inside. Currently, 'AD' shows together all the goods and financial sector, => as the 'IS' curve adjusts inside the industry, => the 'AD' would also change to the left.

In point b:

Take into account the SR models of "IS-LM" and "AD-AS." 

Therefore there is the case of a full job only at the beginning; => its optimum between "IS1" and "LM" in the "IS-LM" model; as well as the main equilibrium among "AD1" and "AS" in the "AD-AS" model "E1'," => the original equilibrium among "Y=Yf," "r=r1" and "P=P1." That now the consumer is reducing the confidence, => the 'IS' curve becomes shifting IMEI 'IS2,' => provided the 'LM' curve, that new balance is 'E2.' That's why the price in the SR is calculated, the AS will change =>, however, the AD also will shift the "AD2" side and "E2'" will become the equilibrium point in the "AD-AS" system, "r=r2 <r1" and "P=P1" throughout the new "Y=Y2 <Yf" balance.

Plant-wide, department, and activity-cost rates. Acclaim Inc. makes two styles of trophies, basic and deluxe, and operates at capacity. Acclaim does large custom orders. Acclaim budgets to produce 10,000 basic trophies and 5,000 deluxe trophies. Manufacturing takes place in two production departments: forming and assembly. In the forming department, indirect manufacturing costs are accumulated in two cost pools, setup and general overhead. In the assembly department, all indirect manufacturing costs are accumulated in one general overhead cost pool. The basic trophies are formed in batches of 200 but be-cause of the more intricate detail of the deluxe trophies, they are formed in batches of 50.

The controller has asked you to compare plant-wide, department, and activity-based cost allocation.

Forming Department Basic Delux Total

Required:
a. Calculate the budgeted unit cost of basic and deluxe trophies based on a single plant-wide overhead rate, if total overhead is allocated based on total direct (Don't forget to include direct material and direct manufacturing labor cost in your unit cost calculation.)
b. Calculate the budgeted unit cost of basic and deluxe trophies based on departmental overhead rates, where forming department overhead costs are allocated based on direct manufacturing labor costs of the forming department and assembly department overhead costs are allocated based on total direct manufacturing labor costs of the assembly department
c. Calculate the budgeted unit cost of basic and deluxe trophies if Acclaim allocates overhead costs in each department using activity-based costing, where setup costs are allocated based on number of batches and general overhead costs for each department are allocated based on direct manufacturing labor costs of each department.
d. Explain briefly why plant-wide, department, and activity-based costing systems show different costs for the basic and deluxe trophies. Which system would you recommend and why?

During the course of a year, the labor force consists of the same 6,000 people. Employers have chosen not to hire 420 of these people in the face of government regulation making it too costly to employ them. Hence, they remain unemployed throughout the year. At the same time, 300 different people are always unemployed due to job changes each month during the year. There is no seasonal employment.
A. What is the frictional unemployment rate?
B. What is the overall unemployment rate?

Answers

Answer:

5%

12%

Explanation:

Unemployment rate is the fraction of the labour force that are unemployed but are actively looking for work

Types of unemployment include:

Frictional unemployment : it is the period of time a person is unemployed from the period he leaves his current job and the time he gets another job. The 300 unemployed people are frictionally unemployed

structural unemployment : it occurs as a result of changes in the economy. These changes can be as a result of changes in technology, polices or competition . Structural unemployment tends to be permanent. The 420 unemployed people are structurally unemployed

Voluntary unemployment : e.g. worker at a fast-food restaurant who quits work and attends college.

Cyclical unemployment : occurs as a result of fluctuations in the economy

Frictional unemployment = (total frictional unemployed people / total labour force ) x 100

(300 / 6000) x 100 = 5%

Total unemployment rate = (total frictional unemployed people + total structural unemployed individuals / total labour force ) x 100

[(300 + 420) / 6000] x 100 = 12%

Answers

Answer:

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

Assume that the marginal propensity to consume is 0.75, net exports decline by $10 billion, and government spending increases by $20 billion. Given that there is no crowding out, the equilibrium gross domestic product can increase by a maximum of:_______

Answers

Answer: $40 billion

Explanation:

The change will be determined by the value of the Multiplier.

The Multiplier shows how much a change in government spending and exports will impart GDP.

Multiplier =  1 / ( 1 - MPC)

= 1 / ( 1 - 0.75)

= 4

Change in GDP = Multiplier * (Government spending + exports)

= 4 * (20 billion -10 billion)

= 4 * 10

= $40 billion

Eileen wanted to rent a share in a ski house for the upcoming winter, a six-month season. The house owner would not allow Eileen to pay the rent in six equal payments over the course of the ski season and, instead, required full payment up front. Eileen found an investment opportunity promising a 7% annual return. She also found a loan with a 4% annual interest rate. She decided to take out the loan to pay the landlord the full amount of the rental. Every month, Eileen planned to deposited one sixth of the loan amount (or what would have been the monthly rental payment) into the investment and take the chance that the investment would return what it promised.

g Financial statements are linked within and across periods in that a) The income statement and the balance sheet are linked via retained earnings b) The statement of cash flows is linked to the income statement as net income is a component of operating cash flows c) The statement of cash flows is linked to the balance sheet as the change in the balance sheet cash account reflects the net cash inflows and outflows for the period d) All of the above e) None of the above

Answers

Answer:

Financial statements are linked within and across periods in that

d) All of the above.

Explanation:

The linkage of all the financial statements can be traced to how they share interconnected information about the financial position and performance of an entity.  The three more prominent financial statements include the income statement for the period, the statement of cash flows, and the balance sheet.  While the income statement shows the financial performance by determining the profitability, the statement of cash flows concentrates on the inflow and outflow of cash, and the balance sheet shows the financial position, disclosing the assets, liabilities, and equity balances.

On February 1, 2020, Bonita Industries factored receivables with a carrying amount of $645000 to Sandhill Co.. Sandhill Co. assesses a finance charge of 3% of the receivables and retains 5% of the receivables. Relative to this transaction, you are to determine the amount of loss on sale to be reported in the income statement of Bonita Industries for February. Assume that Bonita factors the receivables on a without recourse basis. The loss to be reported is

Answers

Answer:

$19,350

Explanation:

The finance charge is 3%. If the 5% retention is a non-refundable security, then the total loss would be 8% (3%+5%).

The nature of the retention is not given, so it is considered that it is refundable, then the total loss would be $19,350 ($645,000*3%).

Thus, the total loss to be reported is $19,350

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))

Answers

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

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

Answers

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.

Answers

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

First, we have to compute the actual price

Actual price = Actual cost of material purchased × Actual material purchased

= $201,500 ÷ 10,200 metres

= $19.75

Therefore,

Material price variance

= Actual quantity × (Actual price - Standard price)

= 10,200 × ($19.75 - $19)

= 10,200 × $0.75

= $7,650 favourable

Prior to May 1, Fortune Company has never had any treasury stock transactions. A company repurchased 130 shares of its common stock on May 1 for $6,500. On July 1, it reissued 65 of these shares at $53 per share. On August 1, it reissued the remaining treasury shares at $48 per share. What is the balance in the Paid-in Capital, Treasury Stock account on August 2

Answers

Answer:

Fortune Company

There is a balance of ($65) in the Paid-in Capital, Treasury Stock account on August 2.

However, this balance will be transferred to the Additional Paid-in Capital account at year-end, since there are no outstanding shares for the Treasury Stock account.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

May 1 Repurchase of 130 shares (Treasury Stock) = $6,500

July 1 Reissue of 65 shares at $53 per share =          (3,445)

August 1 Reissue of 65 shares at $48 per share =     (3,120)

August 2, Balance in the Paid-in Capital =                     ($65)

b) The Treasury Stock account is a contra Paid-in Capital account which records transactions involving the repurchase and reissue of treasury shares.  Treasury shares represent the company's own shares which are repurchased from its investors.

Mid-South Auto Leasing leases vehicles to consumers. The attraction to customers is that the company can offer competitive prices due to volume buying and requires an Interest rate Implicit In the lease that is one percent below alternate methods of financing. On September 30, 2018, the company leased a delivery truck to a local florist, Anything Grows.
The lease agreement specified quarterly payments of $7,000 beginning September 30, 2018, the beginning of the lease, and each quarter (December 31, March 31, and June 30) through June 30, 2021 (three-year lease term). The florist had the option to purchase the truck on September 29, 2020, for $14,000 when It was expected to have a residual value of $14,000. The estimated useful life of the truck is four years. Mid-South Auto Leasing's quarterly interest rate for determining payments was 3% (approximately 12% annually). Mid-South paid $56,000 for the truck. Both companies use straight-line depreciation or amortization. Anything Grows' Incremental Interest rate is 12%. int: A leasing term ends for accounting purposes when an option becomes exercisable if It's expected to be exercised (L.e., a BPO). (FV of $1, PV of $1. FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1 (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
Required:
1. Calculate the amount of selling profit that Mid-South would recognize In this sales-type lease. (Be careful to note that, although payments occur on the last calendar day of each quarter since the first payment was at the beginning of the lease, payments represent an annuity due.)
2. Prepare the appropriate entries for Anything Grows and Mid-South on September 30, 2018.
3. Prepare an amortization schedule(s) describing the pattern of Interest expense for Anything Grows and Interest revenue for Mid- South Auto Leasing over the lease term.
4. Prepare the appropriate entries for Anything Grows and Mid-South Auto Leasing on December 31, 2018.
5. Prepare the appropriate entries for Anything Grows and Mid-South on September 29, 2020, assuming the purchase option was exercised on that date.

A-Rod Manufacturing Company is trying to calculate its cost of capital for use in making a capital budgeting decision. Mr. Jeter, the vice-president of finance, has given you the following information and has asked you to compute the weighted average cost of capital.
The company currently has outstanding a bond with a 10.6 percent coupon rate and another bond with an 8.2 percent rate. The firm has been informed by its investment banker that bonds of equal risk and credit rating are now selling to yield 11.5 percent.

The preferred stock is selling at $80 per share and pays a dividend of $7.60 per share. The corporate tax rate is 30 percent. The flotation cost is 2.5 percent of the selling price for preferred stock. The optimum capital structure for the firm is 25 percent debt, 10 percent preferred stock, and 65 percent common equity in the form of retained earnings.

Answers

Answer:

c. there will be a shortage of the good.

Explanation:

The market for apples is in equilibrium at a price of $0.50 per pound. If the government imposes a price ceiling in the market at a price of $0.40 per pound: c. there will be a shortage of the good.

The correct answer is - c. there will be a shortage of the good.

Reason -

At the equilibrium price, the demand = supply

If the price is increased by the equilibrium price then, there are more customers(i.e. quantity demanded is increase ) and there is shortage of goods (i.e quantity supplied will decrease)

So, the correct option is - c. there will be a shortage of the good.
