Answer:
Ending inventor cost= $124,200
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning inventory= 7,100 units that cost $12.00 each.
Purchases:
2,800 units at $13.00 each
12,000 units at $13.50 each
Units sold= 12,700
To calculate the ending inventory under the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method, we need to use the cost of the lasts units incorporated into inventory:
Ending inventory in units= 9,200
Ending inventor cost= 9,200*13.5
Ending inventor cost= $124,200
Laura goes to a bank and opens a new account.
• She deposits $5,500.
• The bank pays 1.6% interest compounded annually on this account.
• Laura makes no additional deposits or withdrawals.
Which amount is the closest to the account balance at the end of 4 years?
A) $5,852.00
B) $5.860.53
C)$5.940.00
D)$5.954.31

The interest rate effect of a decrease in the aggregate price level will increase which of the following?
Answer:
Investment spending.
Explanation:
Rate of return can be defined as the percentage of interest or dividends earned on money that is invested.
In Financial accounting, a return refers to the amount of profit generated by an investor on an investment over a specific period of time.
Basically, the rate of return which is typically expressed as a percentage of the initial costs of an investment can either be a gain or a loss on an investment. Therefore, a positive rate of return on an investment over a specific period of time, simply means that an investor is making a profit (gains) while a negative rate of return on an investment over a specific period of time, indicates that the investor is running at a loss.
The interest rate effect of a decrease in the aggregate price level will increase investment spending.
Galen started a new job by showing up fifteen minutes before the official start time, taking a short lunch, and leaving approximately fifteen minutes after the official quitting time. During the first week Galen's supervisor takes him aside and tells him that he is really impressed with the fact that Galen is so punctual and dedicated to the work. The next week Galen supervisor once again compliments Galen on his punctuality and hard work. Galen continues this behavior while he works under this supervisor.
Required:
What type of conditioning has occurred here?
Answer:
Operant conditioning
Explanation:
Operant conditioning is a form of learning wherein consequences or rewards are attached to behaviors. When an individual demonstrates positive behavior, he is rewarded for such an action. Displaying bad behavior also results in punishments or negative consequences.
This type of learning is evident in the compliment Galen received from her supervisor because of her punctuality. Here a positive reward is attached to the good behavior and this will encourage Galen to keep displaying the good behavior. This type of conditioning is also known as instrumental conditioning.

Answer: December 31
Explanation:
Granite Slab should adopt the year-end of its principal partners.
A principal partner is one who owns 5% or more of a company's stock.
There are therefore two (2) principal partners here: Nelson Black and Brittany Jones as they own 22% and 24% respectively.
Both of these partners have December 31 as their year end so Granite Slab should adopt this date as well.
The Sunland Inc., a manufacturer of low-sugar, low-sodium, low-cholesterol TV dinners, would like to increase its market share in the Sunbelt. In order to do so, Sunland has decided to locate a new factory in the Panama City area. Sunland will either buy or lease a site depending upon which is more advantageous. The site location committee has narrowed down the available sites to the following three very similar buildings that will meet their needs. Building A: Purchase for a cash price of $612,100, useful life 26 years. Building B: Lease for 26 years with annual lease payments of $71,490 being made at the beginning of the year. Building C: Purchase for $655,200 cash. This building is larger than needed; however, the excess space can be sublet for 26 years at a net annual rental of $6,850. Rental payments will be received at the end of each year. The Sunland Inc. has no aversion to being a landlord.
Instructions:
In which building would you recommend that Brubaker Inc. locate, assuming a 12% cost of funds?
Answer:
Building C
Explanation:
To solve this, we find the present value of each of the buildings.
Building A: We are told that it is to be Purchased for a cash price of $612,100, useful life 26 years. Thus;
PV = $612000
Building B: PV = 71490 + (71490 × ((1+r)ⁿ - 1)/(r(1+r)ⁿ)
Where,
r = 12% = 0.12
n = 26 - 1 = 25
Thus;
PV = 71490 + (71490 × (1 + 0.12)^(25) -1)/(0.12(1 + 0.12)^25)
PV = = $632196
Building C:
PV = 655200 - 6850 × ((1+r)ⁿ - 1)/(r(1+r)ⁿ)
Where;
r = 12% = 0.12
n=26
Thus;
PV = 655200 - (6850 × (1 + 0.12)^(25) -1)/(0.12(1 + 0.12)^25)
PV = $601474
Thus, the minimum PV is building C and therefore it is the one I will recommend that Brubaker Inc. locate
Suppose you win on a scratch‑off lottery ticket and you decide to put all of your $3,500 winnings in the bank. The reserve requirement is 10%. What is the maximum possible increase in the money supply as a result of your bank deposit? Which events could cause the increase in the money supply to be less than its potential?
A. Banks decide to keep some excess reserves on hand.
B. Banks choose to loan out all excess reserves.
C. All money loaned out is deposited back into the banking system.
D. Some loan recipients choose to hold some cash instead of depositing all of it in banks.
Answer:
35000
A, d
Explanation:
Reserve requirement is the portion of deposit received by banks that the central bank requires to be kept as deposit.
If $3500 is deposited and reserve requirement is 10%
reserves would increase by $3500 x 0.10 = $350
Increase in the total value of checkable deposit is determined by the money multiplier
Money multiplier = amount deposited / reserve requirement
3500 / 0.1 = 35000
If the banks keep excess reserves, the amount of money available to be loaned out would reduce and this would reduce the increase in money supply.
Also, if individuals keep the money at home, it would reduce the amount of money that can be loaned out by banks
Following up on Question 1: During the month of April, 2017, Bloomfield sells 24 rulers, 15 mechanical pencils, and 35 notebooks. Using the full cost values you calculated above (i.e., including the additional expenditures), compute the cost per unit of inventory, in dollar and cents, but without a $ sign, e.g., xx.xx.
1. Rulers:
2. Pencils:
3. Notebooks:
Now calculate the cost of goods sold for the items sold during April. Enter your results in dollars and cents, without a $ sign, e.g., xx.xx. We’ll do this in steps:
1. Rulers:
2. Pencils:
3. Notebooks:
4. Total COGS:
Finally, calculate the carrying value of the inventory that remains after the April sales. Note: as an intermediate step, you’ll need to compute the number of units remaining in inventory for each category. But provide your answers below in dollars and cents without a $ sign, e.g., xx.xx.
1. Rulers:
2. Pencils:
3. Notebooks:
4. Total:
Answer:
Cost per Unit:
Ruler $6
Pencil $8
Notebook $7
Cost of goods sold during April:
Ruler $147.60
Pencils $127.50
Notebooks $252
Carrying value of ending inventory:
Ruler $467.40
Pencils $467.50
Notebook $612
Explanation:
Total Value of the goods manufactured is;
Ruler [$6 * 100 units] + $15 shipment fee = $615
Pencils [ $8 * 70 units] + [70 units * $0.50 import duty] = $595
Notebooks [ $7 * 120 units ] + $12 shipment fee + [ 120 units * $0.10 fee] = $864
Per units price for the inventory is :
Ruler [$615 / 100] = $6.15 per unit
Pencils [ $595 / 70 units] = $8.50 per unit
Notebooks [$864 / 120 units] = $7.20 per unit
The company sells :
24 rules , 15 mechanical pencils and 35 notebooks
Cost of Sales :
Ruler [24 units * $6.15 / unit] = $147.60
Pencil [15 units * $8.50 / unit] = $127.50
Notebooks [ 35 units * $7.20 / unit] = $252
Ending Inventory :
Ruler [$615 - $147.60] = $467.40
Pencil [$595 - $127.50] = $467.50
Notebooks [ $864 - $252] = $612

Profitability Analysis Kolby Enterprises reports the following information on its income statement: L04 Net sales ......... . ......... . $250,000 150,000 50,000 Administrative expenses ...... . . $10,000 15,000 10,000 Cost of goods sold .. . . .. . . .. . . Other income .. . . .. . . .. . .. . . . Selling expenses ............ . Other expense .............. . Required Calculate Kolby 's gross profit percentage and return on sales ratio. Explain what each ratio tells us about Kolby 's performance. Kolby is planning to add a new product and expects net sales to be $45,000 and cost of goods to be $38,000. No other income or expenses are expected to change. How will this affect Kolby 's gross profit percentage and return on sales ratio
Answer:
Gross profit percentage = Gross profit / Net sales
= (Net sales - COGS) / Net sales
= (250,000 - 150,000) / 250,000
= 40%
Return on sales ratio = EBIT / Net sales
= (Gross profit + other income - Administrative expenses - Other expense - Selling expenses) / Net sales
= (250,000 - 150,000 + 15,000 - 10,000 - 10,000 - 50,000) / 250,000
= 18%
With new product:
Gross profit percentage = Gross profit / Net sales
= (Net sales - COGS) / Net sales
= (250,000 + 45,000 - 150,000 - 38,000) / (250,000 + 45,000)
= 36.3%
Return on sales ratio = EBIT / Net sales
= (Gross profit + other income - Administrative expenses - Other expense - Selling expenses) / Net sales
= (250,000 + 45,000 - 150,000 - 38,000 + 15,000 - 10,000 - 10,000 - 50,000) / (250,000 + 45,000)
= 52,000 / 295,000
= 17.6%

usiness Solutions sells upscale modular desk units and office chairs in the ratio of 3:2 (desk unit:chair). The selling prices are $1,250 per desk unit and $500 per chair. The variable costs are $750 per desk unit and $250 per chair. Fixed costs are $120,000. Required: 1. Compute the selling price per composite unit. 2. Compute the variable costs per composite unit. 3. Compute the break-even point in composite units. 4. Compute the number of units of each product that w
Answer:
1. Selling price per composite unit = Price of desk unit * (Ratio of desk unit) + Price of chair * (Ratio of chair)
= $1250*(3) + $500*(2)
= $3,750 + $1,000
= $4,750
2. Variable costs per composite unit = Variable cost per desk unit * (Ratio of desk unit) + Variable cost per chair * (Ratio of chair)
= $750*(3) + $250*(2)
= $2,250 + $500
= $2,750
3. Break even point in composite units = Fixed costs / (Composite selling price - Composite variable cost)
= $120,000 / ($4750 - $2750)
= $120,000 / $2000
= 60 units
4. Number desk units sold at break even point = 60 composite units* 3 per composite unit = 180 units
Number of chairs sold at break even point = 60 composite units * 2 per composite unit = 120 units

According to the theory of comparative advantage, consumers in all nations can consume more if there are
Answer:
no restrictions on trade
Explanation:
Comparative advantage in economics is the ability of an individual or country to produce a specific good or service at a lower opportunity cost better than another individual or country.
The comparative advantage gives a country a stronger sales margin than their competitors as they are able to sell their specific products or render their peculiar services at a lower opportunity cost.
In 1817, David Ricardo who is an english political economist talked about the law of comparative advantage in his book “On the Principles of Political Economy and Taxation." where he asserted that countries can become better off by specializing in what they do or produce best and eliminate trade barriers (restrictions).
This simply means that, any country applying the principle of comparative advantage, would enjoy an increase in output and consequently, a boost in their Gross Domestic Products (GDP).
Hence, according to the theory of comparative advantage, consumers in all nations can consume more if there are no restrictions on trade.

Suppose that an initial $10 billion increase in investment spending expands GDP by $10 billion in the first round of the multiplier process. Also suppose that GDP and consumption both rise by $6 billion in the second round of the process. Instructions: In parts a and b, round your answers to 1 decimal place. In part c, enter your answer as a whole number. a. What is the MPC in this economy
Answer: 0.6
Explanation:
The Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) measures how much of an additional dollar of income is spent on consumption.
When the GDP which is aggregate income rose by $10 billion, consumption rose by $6 billion.
MPC = Change in Consumption / Change in GDP
= 6 billion / 10 billion
= 0.6

Answer:
Expected Return Boom = 0.29(0.353) + 0.42(0.453) + 0.29(0.333)
Expected Return Boom = 0.3892
Expected Return Boom = 38.92%
Expected Return Good= 0.29(0.123) + 0.42(0.103) + 0.29(0.173)
Expected Return Good = 0.1291
Expected Return Good = 12.91%
Expected Return Poor = 0.29(0.013) + 0.42(0.023) + 0.29(-0.053)
Expected Return Poor = - 0.00194
Expected Return Poor = - 0.194%
Expected Return Bust = 0.29(-0.113) + 0.42(-0.253) + 0.29(-0.093)
Expected Return Bust= - 0.166
Expected Return Bust= - 16.6%
a. Expected return portfolio = 0.3892*0.18 + 0.1291*0.42 + 0.32*- 0.00194 + 0.08*- 0.166
Expected return portfolio = 0.1104
Expected return portfolio = 11.04%
b. Variance = 0.18*(0.3892-0.1104)^2 + 0.42*(0.1291-0.1104)^2 + 0.32*(- 0.00194-0.1104)^2 + 0.08*(- 0.166-0.1104)^2
Variance = 0.02429
c. Standard Deviation = (0.02429)^(0.5)
Standard Deviation = 0.1558
Standard Deviation = 15.58%
Huron Company produces a commercial cleaning compound known as Zoom. The direct materials and direct labor standards for one unit of Zoom are given below:
Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost
Direct materials 4.6 pounds $2.50 per pound $11.50
Direct labor 0.2 hours $18.00 per hour $3.60
During the most recent month, the following activity was recorded:
a. Twenty thousand pounds of material were purchased at a cost of $2.35 per pound.
b. All of the material purchased was used to produce 4,000 units of Zoom.
c. 750 hours of direct labor time were recorded at a total labor cost of $14,925.
Required:
Compute the materials price and quantity variances for the month.
Answer:
AQ = Actual quantity = 20,000 pounds
AP = Actual price = $2.35 per pound.
SQ = Standard quantity = 4,000 units*4.6 pounds per unit = 18,400 pounds
SP = Standard price = $2.50 per unit
AH = Actual hours = 750 hours.
AR = Actual rate = Total actual cost/Actual hours = $14,925/750 hours = $19.90.
SH= Standard hours = 0.2 hours per unit*4,000 units = 800 hours.
SR = Standard rate = $18 per hour
Materials price variance = (AQ *AP) - (AQ *SP) =
Materials price variance = (20,000*$2.35) - (20,000 *$2.50)
Materials price variance = $47,000 - $50,000
Materials price variance = $3,000 (F)
Material quantity variance = (AQ*SP) - (SQ*SP)
Material quantity variance = (20,000*$2.50) - (18,400*$2.50)
Material quantity variance = $50,000 - $46,000
Material quantity variance = $4,000 (U)
Using FIFO for Multiproduct Inventory Transactions (Chapters 6 and 7) [LO 6-3, LO 6-4, LO 7-3] Skip to question [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] FindMe Inc., (FI) has developed a coin-sized tracking tag that attaches to key rings, wallets, and other items and can be prompted to emit a signal using a smartphone app. FI sells these tags, as well as water-resistant cases for the tags, with terms FOB shipping point. Assume FI has no inventory at the beginning of the month, and it has outsourced the production of its tags and cases. FI uses FIFO and has entered into the following transactions:
Jan. 2: FI purchased and received 260 tags from Xioasi Manufacturing (XM) at a cost of $7 per tag, n/15.
Jan. 4: FI purchased and received 60 cases from Bachittar Products (BP) at a cost of $2 per case, n/20.
Jan. 6: FI paid cash for the tags purchased from XM on Jan. 2.
Jan. 8: FI mailed 160 tags via the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to customers at a price of $30 per tag, on account.
Jan. 11: FI purchased and received 360 tags from XM at a cost of $10 per tag, n/15.
Jan. 14: FI purchased and received 160 cases from BP at a cost of $3 per case, n/20.
Jan. 16: FI paid cash for the cases purchased from BP on Jan. 4.

Jan. 21: FI mailed 260 tags to customers at a price of $30 per tag.
1. Calculate the dollars of gross profit and the gross profit percentage from selling tags and cases.
2. Which product line yields more dollars of profit? - Which product line yields more profit per dollar of sales?
3. Calculate the dollars of gross profit and the gross profit percentage from selling tags and cases. (Round your "Gross Profit Percentage" answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
1-a. Dollars of gross profit from selling tags = $9,180
1-b. Dollars of gross profit from selling cases = $1,500
1-c. Gross profit percentage from selling tags = 72.86%
1.d. Gross profit percentage from selling cases = 83.33%
2-a. Tag yields more dollars of profit.
2-b. Tag yields more profit per dollar of sales.
Explanation:
Note: The requirements for this question are two not three as erroneously stated. This is because, the first and the third question are the same. Therefore, the two relevant requirements of the question are:
1. Calculate the dollars of gross profit and the gross profit percentage from selling tags and cases.
2. Which product line yields more dollars of profit? - Which product line yields more profit per dollar of sales?
The explanation of the answers is now given as follows:
1. Calculate the dollars of gross profit and the gross profit percentage from selling tags and cases.
Sales revenue from tags = Sales value of 160 tags mailed to customers on Jan. 8 at a price of $30 per tag + Sales value of 260 tags mailed to customers on Jan. 21 at a price of $30 per tag = (160 * $30) + (260 * $30) = $12,600
Sales revenue from cases = Sales value of 120 cases mailed to customers on Jan. 19 at a price of $15 per case = 120 * $15 = $1,800
Total number of tags sold = 160 tags mailed to customers + 260 tags mailed to customers on Jan. 21 = 420
Total number of cases sold = 120 cases mailed to customers on Jan. 19 at a price of $15 per case = 120
Using FIFO, we have:
Cost of tags sold = Value of 260 tags purchased on Jan.2 from Xioasi Manufacturing (XM) at a cost of $7 per tag + Value of the remaining 160 (i.e. 420 – 260 = 160) tags sold based on the 360 tags purchased on Jan. 11 from XM at a cost of $10 per tag = (260 * $7) + (160 * $10) = $3,420
Cost of cases sold = Value of 60 cases purchased on Jan.4 from Bachittar Products (BP) at a cost of $2 per case + Value of the remaining 60 cases sold based on the 160 cases purchased on Jan. 14 from BP at a cost of $3 per case = (60 * $2) + (60 * $3) = $300
Therefore, we have:
1-a. Dollars of gross profit from selling tags = Sales revenue from tags - Cost of tags sold = $12,600 - $3,420 = $9,180
1-b. Dollars of gross profit from selling cases = Sales revenue from cases - Cost of cases sold = $1,800 - $300 = $1,500
1-c. Gross profit percentage from selling tags = (Dollars of gross profit from selling tags / Sales revenue from tags) * 100 = ($9,180 / $12,600) * 100 = 72.86%
1.d. Gross profit percentage from selling cases = (Dollars of gross profit from selling cases / Sales revenue from cases) * 100 = 83.33%
2. Which product line yields more dollars of profit? - Which product line yields more profit per dollar of sales?
2-a. Which product line yields more dollars of profit?
From part 1 above, we have:
Dollars of gross profit from selling tags = $9,180
Dollars of gross profit from selling cases = $1,500
Since the dollars of gross profit from selling tags of $9,180 is greater than the dollars of gross profit from selling cases of $1,500, this implies that Tag yields more dollars of profit.
2-b. Which product line yields more profit per dollar of sales?
From part 1 above, we have:
Total number of tags sold = 420
Total number of cases sold = 120
Therefore, we have:
Tag's profit per dollar of sales = Dollars of gross profit from selling tags / Total number of tags sold = $9,180 / 420 = $21.86
Case's profit per dollar of sales = Dollars of gross profit from selling cases / Total number of cases sold = $1,500 / 120 = $12.50
Since Tag's profit per dollar of sales of $21.86 is greater than Case's profit per dollar of sales of $12.50, this implies that Tag yields more profit per dollar of sales.

The process of earning compound interest allows a depositor or investor to earn interest on any interest earned in prior periods.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
A) true
Explanation:
Compound interest can be regarded as
adding of interest gotten to the principal sum of a deposit or the principal sum of a loan. It's one that is gotten after reinvesting of ones interest instead of paying it out, as a result of this the interest that comes in
next period will be earned on the principal sum along with those interests accumulated before. It should be noted the process of earning compound interest allows a depositor or investor to earn interest on any interest earned in prior periods.
g Sparky Corporation uses the weighted-average method of process costing. The following information is available for February in its Molding Department: Units: Beginning Inventory: 27,000 units, 100% complete as to materials and 55% complete as to conversion. Units started and completed: 114,000. Units completed and transferred out: 141,000. Ending Inventory: 31,000 units, 100% complete as to materials and 30% complete as to conversion. Costs: Costs in beginning Work in Process - Direct Materials: $45,000. Costs in beginning Work in Process - Conversion: $50,850. Costs incurred in February - Direct Materials: $311,160. Costs incurred in February - Conversion: $601,150. Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of conversion. Group of answer choices $4.76 $3.96 $5.29 $4.34 $5.69
Answer:
Conversion cost per equivalent unit = $4.76
Explanation:
Conversion cost per equivalent unit = Total conversion cost / Equivalent units
Conversion cost is the sum of the direct labour cost and the factory overhead cost.
Equivalent units are notional whole units which represent incomplete work and are used to apportion cost between work progress and completed work. These units are determined as follows:
Equivalent units = Degree of work done(%) × units of inventory
Equivalent units
Item Unit Equivalent unit
Completed unit 140,000 140000× 100% 140,000
Closing inventory 31,000 31,000× 30% 9,300
Total equivalent unit 149,300
Completed units = opening inventory + units started in the period - closing inventory
Completed units = 27000 + 114,000 - 31,000 = 140,000
The conversion cost = 50,850 + 601,150 = 652,000
conversion cost per equivalent unit = 652,000 /140,000 = 4.65
Conversion cost per equivalent unit = $4.76
