Consider the market for caramel and butterscotch ice cream toppings. For each price change, identify the likely effect on the demand curve for caramel topping.

a. The price of caramel topping decreases
b. The price of ice cream increases
c. The price of butterscotch topping increases

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a, a downward movement along the demand curve

b. a leftward shift in the demand curve

c. a rightward shift in the demand curve

Explanation:

If the price of caramel topping decreases, there would be an increase in the quantity demanded of the topping. so there would be a downward movement along the demand curve for caramel topping

Icecream and caramel toppings can be regarded as complement goods

Complementary goods are goods that are consumed together

If the price of icecream increase, the quantity demanded of icecream would decrease. because of the decrease in the quantity demanded of caramel toppings, there would be a decrease in the demand for caramel toppings. the demand curve for caramel toppings would shift inwards reflecting the decrease in demand.

caramel and butterscotch ice cream toppings are substitutes goods

Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of each other.

If the price of butterscotch topping increases, butterscotch topping becomes more expensive and there would be a decrease in the quantity demand for butterscotch topping. consumers would shift to caramel topping. as a result there would be an increase in demand for caramel topping and the demand curve would shift outward.

There are basically five categories of adopters namely (in no particular order):

Early adopters (EA);

Late majority(LM);

Early majority (EM);

Innovators (I);

Laggards (L).

The early adopters can be said to be trend setters. Their opinions are taken by others as they are quite young and have enough social contacts. They tend to adopt to new technologies easily, but not as apt as the innovators. The early adopters tend to show off  their choice of fashion and trends and even suggest to others to buy similar products.

All the characteristics of Brandon listed in this case falls in the early adopters perfectly. Therefore we can say that brandon is an early adopter(EA).

a. $293,000
b. $270,000
c. $268,000
d. $272,000

Answer:

COGS= $288,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Inventories January 1 January 31

Finished goods 14,000 16,000

Bryant transferred $290,000 of completed goods out of work in the process during January.

To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to use the following formula:

COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory

COGS= 14,000 + 290,000 - 16,000

COGS= 288,000

Consider the following data for a closed economy:
Y = $11 Trillion
C = $8 Trillion
I = $2 Trillion
TR = $1 Trillion
T= $3 Trillion
Use these data to calculate the following:
a. Private saving
b. Public saving
c. Goverment purchases
d. The goverment budget deficit or budget surplus

Answers

Answer: The answer is given below

Explanation:

a. . Private saving

Private saving=Y+TR-C-T

= $11t + $1t - $8t - $3t

= $12 trillion - $11 trillion

= $1 trillion

b. Public saving

Public Saving= T-G-TR

Since G is not given, we can use:

I = public saving + private saving

$2t = public savings + $1t

Public saving= $2 trillion - $1 trillion

Public savings = $1 trillion

c. Goverment purchases

Since public savings = T - G - TR

$1t = $3t - G - $1t

G = $3t - $1t - $1t

G = $3 trillion - $2 trillion

G = $1 trillion

d. The goverment budget deficit or budget surplus.

There is a budget surplus of $1 trillion which has been calculated in the public savings.

what is the producers surplus when barylia engages in trade and the government imposes a tariff of $1

Answers

Answer: $20

Explanation:

When the Government introduces a tariff, it will have the effect of reducing competition for the local producers because import prices will now be higher.

The Producer surplus before the tariff was G because they were forced to sell at the global price. With the imposition of the tariff, the price went to $4 or rather P2. This then increased Producer Surplus to include area F as well.

The total Producer Surplus is therefore, F + G.

This is a triangle so it will be solved for the area by the formula;

= [tex]\frac{1}{2} * base * height[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] * 20 * ( 4 -2)

= 10 * 2

= $20

Suppose a business takes out a $7,000, five-year loan at 6 percent that will be paid annually with a single, fixed payment each period. How much will be the annual payment?

Answers

Answer: $1,662

Explanation:

The question is asking for the annual payment that will result in a present value of $7,000 given 6% and 5 years. This payment is constant so is an annuity.

7,000 = Payment * Present value Interest factor of an Annuity, 6%, 5 periods)

7,000 = Payment * 4.212

Payment = 7,000/4.212

= $1,661.92

Answers

Answer:

The amount that should be deposited today is $33254.58

Explanation:

The deposit should be such that the future value of the deposit made today and at the end of year 2 should be equal to $50000 after 5 years. Let the deposit made today be x. The equation for the future value will be,

50000 = x * (1+0.045)^5  +  7500 * (1+0.045)^3

50000 = x *  (1.045)^5  +  8558.745938

50000 - 8558.745938  =  x * (1.045)^5

41441.25406 / (1.045)^5  =  x

x = $33254.57769 rounded off to $33254.58

Provide two sets of figures: units per labor hour, and dollar of output per dollar of labor expense. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information; we have:

                          QUANTITY                         $ / UNIT

Deluxe car        4,000 units sold                  $ 8,000 /car

Limited car       6,000 units sold                   $ 9,500 /car

Labor, Deluxe   20,000 hours                       $ 12 /hour

Labor, Limited    30,000 hours                      $ 14 /hour

The objective is to determine:

                               LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY

                  units per labor hour       dollar of output  per dollar of labor

                                                           expense

Deluxe car

Limited car

Firstly; let's us find the Labor productivity in unit/hour For the two cars;

For Deluxe car;

Labor productivity in unit/hour = Output(units)/Input ( Hours)

Labor productivity in unit/hour =  [tex]\dfrac{4000 \ Units }{20000\ Hour} = 0.20 \ Units/Hour[/tex]

For Limited car;

Labor productivity in unit/hour =  [tex]\dfrac{6000 \ Units }{30000\ Hour} = 0.20 \ Units/Hour[/tex]

Similarly; Labor productivity in dollar of output  per dollar of labor expense is:

output in dollars/input in dollars

For Deluxe Car;

output in dollars = 4000×8000  = 32000000

input in dollars = 20000×12 = 240000

Labor productivity in dollar of output  per dollar of labor expense is=

output in dollars/input in dollars

Labor productivity in dollar of output  per dollar of labor expense:

Ms. Johnson invested $10,000 in a 10-year zero coupon bond and $20,000 in a 3-year semiannual coupon bond that has a duration of 2.5 years. Her portfolio is immunized from interest rate risk if ______.

Answers

Answer:

Her investment horizon is 5 years

Explanation:

If investment = $10,000

10-year zero coupon bond

$20,000 in a 3-year semiannual duration = 2.5 years.

Duration = (1/3 )*10 + (2/3)*2.5

= 5 years

Explanation:

Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year

GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export

Net export = exports – imports

When exports exceeds import there is a trade deficit and when import exceeds import, there is a trade surplus.  

Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:  

1. services not rendered to oneself

2. Activities not reported to the government  

3. illegal activities

4. sale or purchase of used products

5. sale or purchase of intermediate products

the following items aren't included in the calculation of GDP because they are used items and were included in the year they were produced. adding them to GDP would be regarded as double counting

a. a used skateboard you buy for your brother

d. used copy of the tony hawk video game

e. previously owned collectors skateboard

h. Wheels used to produce a skateboard that will be sold new aren't included in the calculation of GDP because it an intermediate product used in the production of skateboards.

ticket for the X games bought from a person on a street corner aren't included in the calculation of GDP because they have already been paid for.

The cost of direct materials transferred into the Bottling Department of Mountain Springs Water Company is $538,900. The conversion cost for the period in the Bottling Department is $592,000. The total equivalent units for direct materials and conversion are 31,700 and 7,400, respectively. Determine the direct materials and conversion cost per equivalent unit.

Answers

Answer: 17 per unit; 80 per unit

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the cost of direct materials transferred into the Bottling Department of Mountain Springs Water Company is $538,900 and that the conversion cost for the period in the Bottling Department is $592,000 while the total equivalent units for direct materials and conversion are 31,700 and 7,400, respectively.

The direct materials cost per equivalent unit will be the cost of direct materials that is transferred into the Bottling Department of Mountain Springs Water Company which is $538,900 divided by the total equivalent units for direct materials which is 31700. This will be:

= $538,900/31700

= 17 per unit

The conversion cost per equivalent unit will be the conversion cost for the period in the Bottling Department which is $592,000 divided by the total equivalent units for conversion which is 7,400. This will be:

= $59200/7400

= 80 per unit

If some of the products developed by I'mASoftwareCo. must face market competition that can very quickly produce either an identical product or a close substitute for it, then
a) it may decide against R&D projects of this sort.
b) it will have to figure out innovative ways to prevent adaptation and copying of its products.
c) the other firms will all save on their R&D costs.
d) it must charge more for its products to quickly compensate for the research and development costs.

Answers

Answer:

A.It may decide against R & D projects of this sort

Explanation:

Where there is market competition, such can present an avenue for a firm to discover new products/technology. Also, a firm could generate more profit because they are able to produce goods at a cheaper rate or produce products with certain features that suits customers needs. When a firm is innovative, it will have an edge over it's competitors in the mean time hence must have made enough profits before competitors catches up.

However, in a case where competition discourages technology as in the above case i.e a new firm copying the company's idea, the company may decide against R&D projects of this sort because if the research and development effort fails, the company may incur loss which could drive it out of business. Moreover, it means that the R&D on such product has not been successful since an identical product or a close substitute product can quickly be produced by it's competitors hence must be decided against to avoid them making losses.

AB Corporation and YZ Corporation formed a partnership to construct a shopping mall. AB contributed $527,000 cash, and YZ contributed land ($527,000 FMV and $457,000 basis) in exchange for a 50 percent interest in ABYZ Partnership. Immediately after its formation, ABYZ borrowed $263,500 from a local bank. The debt is recourse (unsecured by any specific partnership asset). Compute each partner's initial basis in its partnership interest, assuming that:

a. AB and YX are both general partners.
b. AB is a general partner, and YZ is a limited partner.

Answers

Answer:

a. AB and YX are both general partners.

AB's basis in the partnership's interests = $527,000 + ($263,500/2) = $658,750

YZ's basis in the partnership's interests = $457,000 + ($263,500/2) = $588,750

Each partner share 50% interest in the recourse debt.

b. AB is a general partner, and YZ is a limited partner.

AB's basis in the partnership's interests = $527,000 + $263,500 = $790,500

YZ's basis in the partnership's interests = $457,000

Only AB has a share in the recourse debt, since YZ is a limited partner  it has no recourse debt share.

Below is budgeted production and sales information for Flushing Company for the month of December. Product XXX Product ZZZ Estimated beginning inventory 31,000 units 17,100 units Desired ending inventory 36,400 units 14,300 units Region I, anticipated sales 348,000 units 266,000 units Region II, anticipated sales 189,000 units 140,000 units The unit selling price for product XXX is $6 and for product ZZZ is $15. Budgeted production for product ZZZ during the month is a.604,400 units b.403,200 units c.406,000 units d.420,300 units

Answers

Answer:

Production= 403,200 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Product ZZZ

Estimated beginning inventory= 17,100 units

Desired ending inventory 14,300 units

Sales:

Region I= 266,000 units

Region II= 140,000 units

Total= 406,000

To calculate the production required for the period, we need to use the following formula:

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Production= 406,000 + 14,300 - 17,100

Production= 403,200 units

Coates Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. The company based its predetermined overhead rate for the current year on total fixed manufacturing overhead cost of $249,000, variable manufacturing overhead of $3.80 per machine-hour, and 30,000 machine-hours. The company has provided the following data concerning Job X784 which was recently completed: Number of units in the job 50 Total machine-hours 250 Direct materials $ 470 Direct labor cost $5,500 If the company marks up its unit product costs by 30% then the selling price for a unit in Job X784 is closest to:

Answers

Answer:

Selling price per unit= $233.87

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Overhead:

Estimated overhead= $249,000

Variable manufacturing overhead= $3.80 per machine-hou

Estimated machine-hours= 30,000 machine-hours.

Job X784:

Number of units in the job 50

Total machine-hours 250

Direct materials $ 470

Direct labor cost $5,500

Selling price= 30% mark up

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (249,000/30,000) + 3.8

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $12.1 per machine hour

Now, we can determine the total cost of Job X784:

Total cost= 470 + 5,500 + (12.1*250)

Total cost= $8,995

Finally, the selling price per unit:

Unitary cost= 8,995/50= $179.9

Selling price per unit= 179.9*1.30= $233.87
