c. The quantity of fast food consumed will always be high
d. fast food is really not quality food
Answers
Answer:
b. product A and B are subtitutes
a. the quantity of fast food consumed decreases as income increases
Explanation:
Cross price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded of good A to changes in price of good B.
Cross price elasticity = percentage change in quantity demanded of good A / percentage change in price of good B.
The cross price elasticity of substitute goods are always positive because if the price of good B increases, the Quanitity demanded of good A rises.
Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of another good.
Complement goods are goods that are used together. E.g. car and gas
Inferior goods are goods whose demand increases when income falls and whose demand falls when income rises.

Answers
Answer:
Hawke Company
1. Adjusting Journal Entries to record bad debts under:
a) Bad debts are estimated to be 3% of credit sales:
Debit Bad Debts Expense $135,380
Credit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $135,380
To record the bad debt expense for the period.
b) Bad debts are estimated to be 2% of total sales:
Debit Bad Debts Expense $121,645
Credit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $121,645
To record the bad debt expense for the period.
c) An ageing analysis estimates that 6% of year-end accounts receivable are uncollectible:
Debit Bad Debts Expense $89,128
Credit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $89,128
To record bad debt expense for the period.
Explanation:
a) Allowance for doubtful accounts should have a credit balance of $117,390 ($3,913,000 * 3%). Since there was a debit balance in the unadjusted trial balance of $17,990, the two are added to arrive at what should be expensed.
b) Allowance for doubtful accounts will have a credit balance of $103,655 ($5,182,730 * 2%). With a debit balance in the unadjusted trial balance of $17,990, the sum of $121,645 (amount expensed) will bring the balance to a credit balance of $103,655.
c) Allowance for doubtful accounts will have a credit balance of $71,138 ($ 1,185,639 * 6%). With a debit balance in the unadjusted trial balance of $17,990, the sum of $89,128 will be expensed to bring the balance to a credit balance of $71,138.
Oriole Company had sales of $392000, variable costs of $192000, and direct fixed costs totaling $97000. The company’s operating assets total $809000, and its required return is 10%. How much is the residual income?
Answers
Answer:
Residual Income = $ 22,100
Explanation:
Residual income is the excess of the controllable profit over the opportunity cost of capital invested.
It is computed as follows:
Residual income = Controllable profit - (cost of capital× operating assets)
Controllable profit = 392,000 - 192,000- 97,000 = $103,000
Residual income = 103,000 - (10%× 809,000)= 22,100
Residual Income = $ 22,100

1. At year-end, Harris Co. had shipped $12,500 of merchandise FOB destination to Harlow Co. Which company should include the $12,500 of merchandise in transit as part of its year-end inventory?
2. Harris Company has shipped $20,000 of goods to Harlow Co., and Harlow Co. has arranged to sell the goods for Harris. Identify the consignor and the consignee. Which company should include any unsold goods as part of its inventory?
Answers
Answer:
1. Harris company
2. The Consignor should be Harris Company
The Consignee should be Harlow Company
Explanation:
1.Harris company should include the amount of $12,500 as part of their year end inventory because based on the information given we were told that Harris Company was the company which at year-end shipped $12,500 of merchandise FOB destination to Harlow Co.
2.
The Consignor should be Harris Company
The Consignee should be Harlow Company
Because Harris Company was the company which shipped the goods worth $20,000 to Harlow Co Which means HARRIS COMPANY is the CONSIGNOR in which Harlow Co. has as well arranged to sell the goods for Harris which means HARLOW COMPANY is the CONSIGNEE because they are the buyer of the goods
Therefore Harris company should tend to include any goods which are unsold as part of the inventory.
Company expects to sell 500 units during the second quarter and 550 units in the third quarter. Currently, during the second quarter, they have 46 units on hand. If they desire safety stock of 10% of the next quarter's sales, ________ units will need to be produced in the second quarter.
Answers
Answer:
509 units
Explanation:
The expected sales in the present quarter is 500 units (for second quarter) and we have 46 units on hand.
We want a reserve of 10% during the next quarter.
The expected sales in next quarter is 550 units so reserve of 10% is
Reserve = 0.10 * 550= 55 units
Balance to produce this quarter= 500 - 46= 454 units
Total to produce= Balance produced + Reserve
Total to produce= 454 + 55= 509 units

Within the dorm room, the showing of a movie ( IS OR IS NOT ) a public good.
If it costs $8 to rent a movie, the roommates should rent__________movies in order to maximize the total surplus.
Suppose the roommates choose to rent the optimal number of movies you just indicated and then split the cost of renting equally.
This means that each roommate will pay $__________.
Answers
Answer:
1. Inside the dorm room, the movies are Non-Rival which means that one person can watch the movie and it will not diminish the ability of others to watch as well.
Also as they are all in the same dorm, the showing of the movie is Non-Excludable as well because no one can stop the other from watching.
Public good is both Non-Rival and Non-Excludable so the showing of a movie IS a public good.
2.

10 9 8 3 30
8 7 6 2 23
6 5 4 1 16
4 3 2 0 9
2 1 0 0 3
The optimal number of movies that can be rented is dependent on their total willingness to pay. If their Total willingness to pay for the movie is above $8 which is the cost of a movie, then they will get it. From the table, the fifth movie is below the price of $8 so they should rent 4 movies.
3. If they rent 4 movies and there are 4 of them then the cost per person is;
= (8 *4)/4 people
= 24/4
= $8
This means that each roommate will pay $8.

Jackson Manufacturing Company had a beginning inventory of $30,000. During the year, the company recorded inventory purchases of $90,000 and cost of goods sold of $100,000. The ending inventory must equal:
Answers
Answer:
The answer is $20,000
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Jackson Manufacturing Beginning inventory = 30,000
Inventory purchases recorded = $90,000
Cost of goods sold = $100,000
Then
We find the ending inventory which is given below:
Now
The inventory (ending) is = beginning inventory + purchases - cost of goods sold
= $30,000 + $90,000 - $100,000
=$20,000
Hence, the ending inventory must equal the amount of $20,000
Black Cable Company, an accrual basis taxpayer, allows its customers to pay by the year in advance ($600 per year) or two years in advance ($960). In September 2019, the company collected the following amounts applicable to future services: October 2019 - September 2021 services (200 two-year contracts) $192,000 October 2019 - September 2020 services (200 one-year contracts) 120,000 Total $312,000As a result of this, Black Cable should report gross income for 2020:a. $54,000 b. $78,000 c. $258,000 d. $312.000
Answers
Answer:
c. $258,000
Black cable should report $258,000 as gross income for 2020
Explanation:
One-eighth (3/24) of the payments on the two-year contracts were earned (1/8 of $192,000 =24,000)
One-fourth (1/4 of $120,000 = $30,000) of the payment on the one-year contracts were earned in 2019 and is included in 2019 gross income.
The balance of the payment = $312,000 - $24,000-$30,000 = $258,000. $258,000 must be included in 2020 Black Cable gross income

Clemmens Company applies overhead based on direct labor cost. Estimated overhead and direct labor costs for the year were $112,500 and $125,000, respectively. During the year, actual overhead was $107,400 and actual direct labor cost was $120,000. The entry to close the over- or underapplied overhead at year-end, assuming an immaterial amount, would include:
Answers
Answer:
Estimated Over head applied = ($112500 / $125000) *100 = 90% of Direct labor cost.
Thus, Actual Over Head applied = 90% of $120000 = $108000
Moreover, Actual Over Head incurred = $107400
Therefore, Overhead Over-applied is to be applied as the Actual Overhead applied is higher than the Actual Overhead Incurred
Overhead Over-applied = $108000 - $107400
Overhead Over-applied = $600
The entry to close the over-applied overhead at year-end would include:
i. Over-head A/c will be debited for $600
ii. Cost of goods sold will to be credited for $600
Ajax common stock is expected to return 17 percent in a boom economy, 11 percent in a normal economy, and 2 percent in a recession. The probability of a boom is 25 percent, of a normal economy is 70 percent, and of a recession is 5 percent. What is the expected return on this stock?
Answers
Answer:
Expected Value of the return = 12.1%
Explanation:
The expected rate of return is the weighted average of all the possible returns associated with an investment decision. The returns are weighted using the probability associated with their outcomes.
Expected return = WaRa + Wb+Rb + Wn+Rn
W- weight of the outcome, R - return of the outcome
W- Probability of the expected outcome, R- expected return under a circumstance
Expected Value of the return
(0.25× 17%) + (0.7× 11%) + (0.05 × 2%) = 0.1205
=0.1205 × 100
= 12.1%
Expected Value of the return = 12.1%
The total cost schedule for a competitive firm is given by: OutputTotal Cost 0$10 160 280 3110 4165 5245 If market price is $60, how many units of output will the firm produce
Answers
Answer: 4 units.
Explanation:
A firm should produce at the rate where Marginal Cost is equal to Marginal Revenue or at a point where they are at their closest.
From the above question, the Marginal Revenue is the Market Price of $60 because that is the extra amount made per sale.
The closest Marginal Cost to $60 is at 4 units. Here the cost of producing is $165 and the cost of producing 3 units is $110. The cost of producing the 4th unit,
= 165 - 110
= $55
The marginal cost of the 5th unit is $80 so it cannot be here.
At the 4th unit the profit made is,
= (Selling price * units) - cost
= (60 * 4) - 165
= $75
This will be the highest profit the company can make.
The food and beverage manager should always expect that the fresh produce delivered to his or her establishment will be the same quality and degree of ripeness that they were when first harvested in the field. True or False
Answers
Answer:
False.
Explanation:
The food and beverage manager shouldn't always expect that the fresh produce delivered to his or her establishment will be the same quality and degree of ripeness that they were when first harvested in the field.
The produce delivered wouldn't be as fresh, same quality and degree of ripeness that they were when first harvested because of changes in environmental conditions such as temperature and relative humidity. Also, a change in its biochemical composition would go a long way to affect the quality of fresh produce.
Hence, this would result in a change in taste, texture, degree of ripeness, nutritional value, smell etc.
However, the farmer or supplier of this food products could mitigate the change in quality by transporting them as soon as possible after harvesting, transporting at a required cold temperature, humidity and ensuring they're well packaged in a safe container during shipment.

Greenville Cabinets received a contract to produce speaker cabinets for a major speaker manufacturer. The contract calls for the production of "4,700" bookshelf speakers and "5,500" floor speakers over the next two months, with the following delivery schedule:
Model Month 1 Month 2
Bookshelf 2,800 1,900
Floor 2,200 3,300
Greenville estimates that the production time for each bookshelf model is 0.8 hour and the production time for each floor model is 1 hour. The raw material costs are $17 for each bookshelf model and $19 for each floor model. Labor costs are $29 per hour using regular production time and $40 using overtime. Greenville has up to 3,100 hours of regular production time available each month and up to 1,700 additional hours of overtime available each month. If production for either cabinet exceeds demand in month 1, the cabinets can be stored at a cost of $12 per cabinet.
Required:
For each product, determine the number of units that should be manufactured each month on regular time and on overtime to minimize total production and storage costs. If required, round your answers to the nearest whole number.
Answers
Answer:
see attached
Explanation:
The total hours required to produce each month's order are ...
Month 1: 0.8(2800) +1(2200) = 4440
Month 2: 0.8(1900) +1(3300) = 4820
That is, orders for Month 2 require 20 more hours than are available. Both months require significant overtime.
__
From this brief analysis, we learn that we must store a minimum of 20 hours worth of labor. We can minimize the storage cost by maximizing the hours of labor in each item stored. Floor models require 1 hour each, which is more than the labor requirement of a Bookshelf model. So, we should store 20 Floor models.
__
Overtime is required in both months to fulfill the orders, so it doesn't really matter how the regular hours are spent. We can, for example, produce one entire order on regular time, and the other on overtime; or, we can split the hours so the product mix approximates the order mix. Either way, the labor cost will be the same.
We choose to spend the 3100 regular hours producing 1575 Bookshelf models, and 1840 Floor models.
Then the overtime hours can be spent making up the difference from the total for the month.
The attachment shows the allocation of quantities, hours, and labor dollars. The total (minimized) production and storage cost is shown at lower right.

In the given scenario a manufacturer is making a new buy from a seller. This is a risky investment for the buyer because of uncertainty on how the product will perform and lack of technical know-how in operating the product.
The buyer therefore will require the seller to act as a consultant in case of issues arising from the use of the product, buying decision will take a long time because the buyer will want a good fit for their operations, and more work will be done with technical personnel to train them on how to use the product
Assume a Cobb-Douglas production function of the form: q equals 10 Upper L Superscript 0.33 Baseline Upper K Superscript 0.75. What type of returns to scaleLOADING... does this production function exhibit?
Answers
Answer:
Since 0.33 + 0.75 = 1.08 is greater than one, this production function therefore exhibits increasing returns to scale.
Explanation:
From the question, we have the following restated equation:
[tex]q=10L^{0.33} K^{0.75}[/tex]
Where q is the output, and L and K are inputs
To determine the types of returns to scale, we increase each of L and K inputs by constant amount c as follows:
[tex]q = 10(cL)^{0.33}(cK)^{0.75}[/tex]
We can now solve as follows;
[tex]q = 10c^{0.33+0.75} L^{0.33}K^{0.75}[/tex]
[tex]q=c^{1.08} L^{0.33} K^{0.75}[/tex]
Since 0.33 + 0.75 = 1.08 is greater than one, this production function therefore exhibits increasing returns to scale.
What is the age distribution of promotion-sensitive shoppers? A supermarket super shopper is defined as a shopper for whom at least 70% of the items purchased were on sale or purchased with a coupon.
Answers
Answer:
The distribution of probability is valid if sum of all the probabilities equals to 1.
Explanation:
Age Range Midpoint Percent of super shopper
18-28 23 7%
29-39 34 44%
40-50 45 24%
51-61 56 14%
61 and over 67 11%
∑p(x) = P (x1)
The distribution of the shoppers is valid as the sum of all the probabilities equals to 1.
∑p(x) : 0.7 + 0.44 + 0.24 + 0.14 + 0.11 = 1
Hank Itzek manufactures and sells homemade wine, and he wants to develop a standard cost per gallon. The following are required for production of a 50-gallon batch.
2,400 ounces of grape concentrate at $0.01 per ounce
54 pounds of granulated sugar at $0.50 per pound
60 lemons at $0.80 each
100 yeast tablets at $0.21 each
100 nutrient tablets at $0.14 each
3,700 ounces of water at $0.005 per ounce
Hank estimates that 4% of the grape concentrate is wasted, 10% of the sugar is lost, and 25% of the lemons cannot be used.
Compute the standard cost of the ingredients for one gallon of wine.
Answers
Answer:
total $3.36
Explanation:
required for producing 50 gallons of wine:
2,400 ounces of grape concentrate at $0.01 per ounce = $24 / 50 = $0.48 x 1.04 = $0.50
54 pounds of granulated sugar at $0.50 per pound = $27 / 50 = $0.54 x 1.1 = $0.59
60 lemons at $0.80 each = $48 / 50 = $0.96 x 1.25 = $1.20
100 yeast tablets at $0.21 each = $21 / 50 = $0.42
100 nutrient tablets at $0.14 each = $14 / 50 = $0.28
3,700 ounces of water at $0.005 per ounce = $18.50 / 50 = $0.37
Hank estimates that 4% of the grape concentrate is wasted, 10% of the sugar is lost, and 25% of the lemons cannot be used.

However, S has a higher IRR than L. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
A. Project S must have a higher NPV than Project L.
B. If Project S has a positive NPV, Project L must also have a positive NPV.
C. If the WACC falls, each project's IRR will increase.
D. If the WACC increases, each project's IRR will decrease.
E. If Projects S and L have the same NPV at the current WACC, 10%, then Project L, the one with the lower IRR, would have a higher NPV if the WACC used to evaluate the projects declined.

Explanation:
The cash flow statement categories the company's transactions in a financial period into 3 groups; these are operating, investing and financing.
The net profit/loss, depreciation, changes in current assets (other than cash) and liabilities are considered as operating activities including income taxes.
The sale of assets, interest received, purchase of investments are examples of investing activities while the issuance of stocks, debt principal deduction (loan settlement), issuance of debt securities etc are examples of financing activities.
An increase in assets other than cash is an outflow while an increase in liabilities is an inflow. Depreciation and other non-cash expenses deducted in the income statements are added back while the non-cash income such gain on asset are deducted from net income.

The net profit/loss, depreciation, changes in current assets (other than cash) and liabilities are considered as operating activities including income taxes.
The sale of assets, interest received, purchase of investments are examples of investing activities while the issuance of stocks, debt principal deduction (loan settlement), issuance of debt securities etc are examples of financing activities.
For assets disposed, the amount received from the disposal is the amount recorded as an investing activity.
Amount received - Book value of asset = Gain on disposal
Amount received = $221000 + $882000
= $1,103,000

Answers
Answer: c. Lower the firm's quick ratio.
d. Lower the firm's current ratio.
Explanation:
Reducing the amount of time that clients have to pay will reduce the amount of Account Receivables as clients will no longer have long outstanding due dates. This reduction in Accounts Receivables will be felt by the Quick and Current ratios.
Quick Ratio formula
= [tex]\frac{Current Assets - Inventory}{Current Liabilities}[/tex]
Current Ratio Formula
= [tex]\frac{Current Assets}{Current Liabilties}[/tex]
As is evident from the formulas, Current Assets are integral to both ratios and as Accounts Receivables is a current asset that will be reduced, the current assets will be reduced and by extension both the Current and Quick Ratios will be reduced as well.
Molen Inc. has an outstanding issue of perpetual preferred stock with an annual dividend yield of 7.50% and a par value of $60. If the market value for the preferred stock is $70, what is the required return on this preferred stock?
Answers
Answer:
10.71%
Explanation:
The computation of the required rate of return on this preferred stock is shown below :
The Required return on preferred stock is
= Dividend ÷ market value of preferred stock
= 7.50 ÷ $70
= 10.71%
By dividing the dividend from the market value of preferred stock we can get the Required return on preferred stock and the same is to be considered
therefore we ignored the par value i.e $60 as this is not relevant

On November 1. Bahama Cruise Lines borrows $2.6 million and issues a six-month. 6% note payable. Interest is payable at maturity. Record the issuance of the note and the appropriate adjustment for interest expense at December 31, the end of the reporting period.
Answers
Answer and Explanation:
The journal entries are shown below:
1. Cash Dr $2,600,000
To Note payable $2,600,000
(Being the issuance of the note is recorded)
For recording this we debited the cash as it increased the assets and credited the note payable as it also increased the liabilities
2. Interest expense $26,000
To interest payable $26,000
(Being the interest expense is recorded)
For recording this we debited the interest expense as it increased the expenses and credited the note payable as it also increased the liabilities
The computation is shown below:
= $2,600,000 × 6% × 2 months ÷ 12 months
= $26,000
