Dehner Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. The company based its predetermined overhead rate for the current year on the following data: Total direct labor-hours 47,000 Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 202,100 Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour $ 2.00 Recently, Job P951 was completed with the following characteristics: Number of units in the job 50 Total direct labor-hours 100 Direct materials $ 850 Direct labor cost $ 4,700 The total job cost for Job P951 is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Total cost= $6,180
Explanation:
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= (202,100/47,000) + 2
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $6.3 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 6.3*100
Allocated MOH= 630
Finally, the total cost:
Total cost= 850 + 4,700 + 630
Total cost= $6,180
Trade credit and discounts are important strategies used by firms in the daily operations of their business. Calculate the cost of a firm's trade credit in each of the following situations (answers should be carried out to 2 decimal points, e.g. 35.78%, not 35% or 36% !) a) 2/12, Net 32 b) 3/15, Net 36 c) 2.5/18, Net 35 d) 2.25/20, Net 38
Answer:
When a discount is given as 2/12, Net 32, it means that the customer is allowed a 2% discount if they pay off their purchase in 12 days. If they don't, they would have to pay off the full amount in 32 days.
The Cost of a firm's credit is calculated by the formula:
= Discount %/ ( 100% - Discount %) * (360/Allowed payment days - Discount days)
a. 2 / 12, Net 32
= (2%/ (100 - 2% )) * (360 / (32 - 12))
= 36.73%
b) 3/15, Net 36
= (3%/ (100 - 3% )) * (360 / (36 - 15))
= 53.02%
c) 2.5/18, Net 35
= (2.5%/ (100 - 2.5% )) * (360 / (35 - 18))
= 54.30%
d) 2.25/20, Net 38
= (2.25%/ (100 - 2.25% )) * (360 / (38 - 20))
= 46.04%

Required: a. Adams Company's production cycle starts in Department A. The following information is available for July: Units Work in process, July 1 (60% complete) 71,000 Started in July 360,000 Work in process, July 31 (20% complete) 39,000 Materials are added at the beginning of the process in Department A. Using the weighted-average method, what are the equivalent units of production for materials and conversion costs for the month of July, respectively
Answer:
materials = 431,000 units and
conversion = 399,800 units
Explanation:
Note that Adams Company uses weighted-average method. This means we calculate equivalent units of production on the number of physical units completed and transferred and units in ending inventory.
Step 1 : Determine units completed and transferred
Units completed and transferred = Opening Inventory + Units Started - Ending Inventory
= 71,000 + 360,000 - 39,000
= 392,000
Step 2 : Determine equivalent units of production
Materials
Units completed and transferred (392,000 x 100%) = 392,000
Units in ending inventory (39,000 x 100%) = 39,000
Total equivalent units of production = 431,000
Conversion
Units completed and transferred (392,000 x 100%) = 392,000
Units in ending inventory (39,000 x 20%) = 7,800
Total equivalent units of production = 399,800

You just got a job and plan to save for the college expenses for your kids. You have a son and a daughter. Your son is 4 years old, and your daughter is only 1 year old. Both of them plan to go to a four-year college at the age of 18. The estimated college expense is about $40,000 per year. Assume you plan to invest into a portfolio that offers you return about 6% per year until your daughter is graduated from college. How much money do you need to save every year if your first saving is in one year
Answer:
$11,508.25
Explanation:
your son will start college in 14 years, and the present value of his college tuition = $40,000 x 3.4651 (PVIFA, 6%, 4 periods) = $138,604
your daughter will start college in 17 years, so you need in today's dollars $138,604
you will need to save enough money to cover both tuitions;
money required to cover your son's tuition = $138,604 / 21.015 (FVIFA, 6%, 14 periods) = $6,595.48
money required to cover your daughter's tuition = $138,604 / 28.213 (FVIFA, 6%, 14 periods) = $4,912.77
total annual savings = $11,508.25

Kentucky Lumber and MillWork Company contracted to supply Rommell Company millwork for use in the construction of a school building. While the work was in progress the Kentucky Lumber mill was destroyed by fire. For two months thereafter, Kentucky Lumber and Millwork Company supplied Rommell with mill work purchased by it from a third party. The Kentucky Lumber mill did not wish to continue this plan and declared that the contract was ended. Rommell Company brought an action against Kentucky Lumber to enforce the contract. How will the court decide?
Answer:
Kentucky can gain advantage since it has not breached any terms of the contract.
Explanation:
Kentucky Lumber will be beneficiary of the decision since it is Rommel company who is ending up the contract but Kentucky Lumber is willing to continue the service according to the terms of the contract. Kentucky mill work was destroyed but it bought the equipment from a third party to continue providing the service according to the contract terms.
Answer:
Kentucky Lumber and MillWork Company Vs Rommell Company
Most likely, the court will decide that Kentucky should continue to perform its contract obligations. We note that following the destruction of the mill by fire, Kentucky never invoked the clause of force majeure. It continued to fulfill its obligations for a period of two months.
Before the case comes to the court, Kentucky should have requested for a renegotiation of the contract price with Rommell if it had discovered that the cost of buying from third-party suppliers could prevent it from continuing with the contract. Note that the fulfilment of a contract is not based on mere wishes but on facts, supported by the prevailing circumstances.
Explanation:
The court will decide to answer Rommell's prayers for an equitable relief by forcing Kentucky Mill to continue with the specific performance of the contract or to pay damages to Rommell for losses arising from the failure of Kentucky to fulfil the contract.
Brown Cow Dairy uses the aging approach to estimate bad debt expense. The ending balance of each account receivable is aged on the basis of three time periods as follows:
(1) not yet due, $13,000;
(2) up to 120 days past due, $6,000; and
(3) more than 120 days past due, $5,500. Experience has shown that for each age group, the average loss rate on the amount of the receivables at year-end due to uncollectibility is
(1) 2 percent,
(2) 12 percent, and
(3) 30 percent, respectively.
At December 31 (end of the current year), the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance is $710 (credit) before the end-of-period adjusting entry is made. Data during the current year follow:
a. During December, an Account Receivable (Patty's Bake Shop) of $660 from a prior sale was determined to be uncollectible; therefore, it was written off immediately as a bad debt.
b. On December 31, the appropriate adjusting entry for the year was recorded.
Required:
1. Give the required journal entries for the two items listed above.
2. Show how the amounts related to Accounts Receivable and Bad Debt Expense would be reported on the income statement and balance sheet for the current year. Disregard income tax considerations.
Answer:
1. Journal Entries :
a. Bad Debt Expense (Dr.) $660
Accounts Receivable (Cr.) $660
2. Accounts receivable Ending Balance :
Not yet due $13,000 * 98% = 12,740
Up to 120 days $6000 * 88% = 5280
More than 120 days $5500 * 70% = 3850
Totals = 21,870
Bad debt expense Ending balance :
Not yet due $13,000 * 2% = $260
Up to 120 days $6000 * 12% = $720
More than 120 days $5500 * 30% = $1,650
Totals = 2630
Explanation:
Bad debt expense is the expected uncollectible amount from accounts receivable. Usually company maintains an allowance for doubtful debt. Brown cow dairy uses aging approach for estimating bad debts of the company. The uncollectible amount is expensed out in Income Statement and asset is decreased in Balance Sheet.
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
B/C ratio = $202,331.70 / $283,401.55 = 0.71
To find the PV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

c. Warranty Expense reported for January 2013 = $900
d. Balance of the Estimated Warranty Liability account as of December 31, 2012 = $1,050
Explanation:
a. Prepare journal entries to record these transactions and adjustments for 2012 and 2013.
Note: See the attached excel file for the journal entries for 2012 and 2013.
In the attached excel, the following workings are used:
w.1: Cost of Goods Sold = Units sold * Cost per unit = 105 * $20 = $2,100
w.2: Warranty Expense = Sales * 8% = $7,875 * 8% = $630
w.3: Estimated Warranty Liability = Units replaced * Cost per unit = 15 * $20 = $300
w.4: Cost of Goods Sold = Units sold * Cost per unit = 220 * $20 = $4,400
w.5: Estimated Warranty Liability = Units replaced * Cost per unit = 30 * $20 = $600
w.6: Warranty Expense = Sales * 8% = $16,500 * 8% = $1,320
w.7: Cost of Goods Sold = Units sold * Cost per unit = 150 * $20 = $3,000
w.8: Estimated Warranty Liability = Units replaced * Cost per unit = 50 * $20 = $1,000
w.9: Warranty Expense = Sales * 8% = $11,250 * 8% = $900
b. How much warranty expense is reported for November 2012 and for December 2012?
Warranty Expense reported for November 2012 = Sales for November 2012 * 8% = $7,875 * 8% = $630
Warranty Expense reported for December 2012 = Sales for December 2012 * 8% = $16,500 * 8% = $1,320
Total Warranty Expense reported for 2012 = Reported Warranty Expense for November 2012 + Reported Warranty Expense for December 2012 = $630 + $1,320 = $1,950
c. How much warranty expense is reported for January 2013?
Warranty Expense reported for January 2013 = Sales for January 2013 * 8% = $11,250 * 8% = $900
d. What is the balance of the Estimated Warranty Liability account as of December 31, 2012?
Total Warranty Expense reported for 2012 = $1,950
Value of returned 15 razors replaced on Dec. 9, 2012 = Units replaced * Cost per unit = 15 * $20 = $300
Value of returned 30 razors replaced on Dec. 29, 2012 = Units replaced * Cost per unit = 30 * $20 = $600
Total value of returned razors replaced in 2012 = Value of returned 15 razors replaced on Dec. 9, 2012 + Value of returned 30 razors replaced on Dec. 29, 2012 = $300 + $600 = $900
Therefore, we have:
Balance of the Estimated Warranty Liability account as of December 31, 2012 = Total Warranty Expense reported for 2012 - Total value of returned razors replaced in 2012 = $1,950 - $900 = $1,050
You want to save at least $10,000 for a down payment on a new car. In cell B6, enter a formula to calculate how much you will have saved by putting away $500 per month for 24 months at a 1.5% annual interest rate. Use the appropriate cell references. Remember to use a negative value for the Pmt argument. There is no money in the account yet and payments are applied at the end of every month, so omit both the Pv and Type arguments. (Hint: Use the FV function.)
Answer:
$14,316.76
Explanation:
How much you will have saved?
Using MS Excel to calculate the FV function
= FV(Rate, Nper, Pmt)
= FV(1,5%, 24, 500)
= 14316.7604
= $14,316.76
So, the total amount you will have saved by putting away $500 per month for 24 months at a 1.5% annual interest rate is $14,316.76

Fair value of liabilities 23,000
Net value of assets = $75,000
Goodwill = $5,000 ($80,000 - $75,000)
b) Acquired Goodwill is the difference between the cost of purchasing Boston Company ($80,000) and the net identifiable assets of Boston Company ($75,000). The net identifiable assets are calculated by subtracting the fair value of the liabilities from the fair value of the assets.
Mortensen Industries, which uses a process-costing system, adds material at the beginning of production and incurs conversion cost evenly throughout manufacturing. The following selected information was taken from the company's accounting records:
Total equivalent units of materials: 5,000
Total equivalent units of conversion: 4,400
Units started and completed during the period: 3,500
On the basis of this information, the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion is:_____.
a. 80%.b. 70%.c. 60%.d. 40%.
Answer:
c. 60%.
Explanation:
Calculation for what the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion is:
First step is to calculate the Ending WIP
Ending WIP = 5,000 - 3,500
Ending WIP = 1,500 units
Now let calculate the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion using this formula
Ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completio
4,400 = 3,500 + (x% * 1,500)
4,400 = 3,500 + 15x
15x = 4,400 - 3,500
15x = 900
x = 900/15
x = 60%
Therefore the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion is:60%

To the company's surprise, it found that the France wine distribution channel was difficult to access as an outsider. Based on this, the market must have a(n) _________ distribution channel. fragmented intensive formal exclusive concentrated
Answer:
exclusive
Explanation:
Marketing mix can be defined as the choices about product attributes, pricing, distribution, and communication strategy that a company blends and offer its targeted markets (customers) so as to build and maintain a desired response.
Generally, a marketing mix is made up of the four (4) Ps;
1. Products: this is typically the goods and services that gives satisfaction to the customer's needs and wants. They are either tangible or intangible items.
2. Price: this represents the amount of money a customer buying goods and services are willing to pay for it.
3. Place: this represents the areas of distribution of these goods and services for easier access by the potential customers.
4. Promotions: for a good sales record or in order to increase the number of people buying a product and taking services, it is very important to have a good marketing communication such as advertising, sales promotion, direct marketing etc.
In this scenario, The Hopper Leg Winery from California's Sonoma Valley is trying to enter the wine market in France. To the company's surprise, it found that the France wine distribution channel was difficult to access as an outsider. Based on this, the market must have an exclusive distribution channel i.e the exclusive or unique rights to be a retailer for the supplier or manufacturer of the wine products.
The manager at the Overton Hotel in Lubbock believes that the success of the Texas Tech Red Raider Basketball team has an impact on the occupancy rate at the hotel during the first quarter of every year. Below are the number of victories for the Red Raiders in during the last three seasons and the hotel occupancy rate. This year, (year 4) the Red Raiders Basketball Team is expected to have another phenomenal season and win 31 games and the manager at the Overton has asked you to determine their first quarter occupancy rate for the upcoming year (year 4) using associative forecasting, given that the SLOPE = 0.0474 and the INTERCEPT =0.4743
Year Wins First Quarter Occupancy Rate
1 15 60%
2 28 90%
3 31 93%
a. 93.4%
b. 88.1%
c. 91.7%
d. 36.9%
e. 90.0%
Answer: 99.51%
Explanation:
This is a linear regression problem.
The relationship between the success of the team and the occupancy rate is in the form:
y = mx + c
y = occupancy rate
m = slope
x = number of games
c = slope
Intercept is supposed to be negative in question:
= 0.0474 * 31 + (-0.4743)
= 99.51%
Options are most probably for a variant of this question.
On January 1, 2021, Jasperse Corporation leased equipment under a finance lease designed to earn the lessor a 10% rate of return for providing long-term financing. The lease agreement specified ten annual payments of $90,000 beginning January 1, and each December 31 thereafter through 2029. A 10-year service agreement was scheduled to provide maintenance of the equipment as required for a fee of $8,000 per year. Insurance premiums of $7,000 annually are related to the equipment. Both amounts were to be paid by the lessor and lease payments reflect both expenditures.
Required:
At what amount will Jasperse record a right-of-use asset?
Answer:
$554,320
Explanation:
Annual payment = $90,000
Rate = 10%
Time period = 10 years
Maintenance of equipment = $8,000
PVAD of $1(n = 10, i=11) = 6.76
Lease payment = $90,000 - $8,000 = $82,000
Amount of Right-of-use asset = Lease payment * PVAD of $1
Amount of Right-of-use asset = $82,000 * 6.76
Amount of Right-of-use asset = $554,320
So, Jasperse will record $554,320 as a right-of-use asset amount.

Consider the following information about employment across industries in Chicago.
Number of employees Location Quotient
Manufacturing 58,435 0.559
Finance and insurance 102,751 1.825
Administrative and support 107,618 1.181
Educational services 9,379 1.566
Health care and social assistance 179,570 1.046
Arts, entertainment, and recreation 19,132 0.986
If there were a national downturn in these industries, which is likely to be most closely linked to the residential real estate market in Chicago?
A. Manufacturing
B. Finance and Insurance
C. Administrative and Support
D. Educational services
E. Health care and social assistance
F. Arts, entertainment, and recreation
G. None of the above.
Answer:
B. Finance and Insurance
Explanation:
The Location Quotient (LQ) value of finance and insurance is the highest (1.825) and its employment concentration (102,751) is higighesth as well although not the highest.
We know that when (LQ) is greater that 1, its indicates the high concentration in regional growth and opportunities as finance and insurance is concerned.
On the other hand lowest, (LQ) at manufacturing is less than 1 and the employment is also low (58,435), that indicates that manufacturing employment has less of a share of the total in regional growth and opportunities.
So, if there were a national downturn in these industries, Finance and Isurance is likely to be most closely linked to the residential real estate market in Chicago.

Rupesh wants to buy a new BMW priced at $54,000. He makes a down payment of 20% of the original price. He also trades-in his old car for $10,000. (This means he sells the old car to the dealer for $10,000). For the balance, Rupesh takes a 60-month car loan at an interest rate of 3.45%. What will be the approximate payment at the end of every month
Answer:
The approximate payment at the end of every month will be $603.22.
Explanation:
Since the payment is going to be made at the end of every month, this can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV = Present value or the balance = Price of BMW - Down payment - Old car sales amount = $54,000 - ($54,000 * 20%) - $10,000 = $33,200
P = Monthly payment = ?
r = Monthly interest rate = Annual interest rate / 12 = 3.45% / 12 = 0.0345 /
12 = 0.002875
n = number of months = 60
Substitute the values into equation (1) and solve for P, we have:
$33,200 = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.002875))^60) / 0.002875)
$33,200 = P * 55.0377058660197
P = $33,200 / 55.0377058660197
P = $603.22
Therefore, the approximate payment at the end of every month will be $603.22.

Using the appropriate present value table and assuming a 12% annual interest rate, determine the present value on December 31, 2018, of a five-period annual annuity of $5,000 under each of the following situations: (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.)
1. The first payment is received on December 31, 2019, and interest is compounded annually.
2. The first payment is received on December 31, 2018, and interest is compounded annually.
3. The first payment is received on December 31, 2019, and interest is compounded quarterly.
Answer:
1. Present value on December 31, 2018 = $18,023.88
2. Present value on December 31, 2018 = $20,186.75
3. Present value on December 31, 2018 = $17,780.59
Explanation:
1. The first payment is received on December 31, 2019, and interest is compounded annually.
This is an example of ordinary annuity. Therefore, the present value on December 31, 2018 can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV = present value on December 31, 2018 = ?
P = Annual annuity = $5,000
r = Annual interest rate = 12%, or 0.12
n = number of years = 5
Substitute the values into equation (1), we have:
PV = $5,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.12))^5) / 0.12)
PV = $5,000 * 3.60477620234501
PV = $18,023.88
2. The first payment is received on December 31, 2018, and interest is compounded annually.
This is an example of annuity due. Therefore, the present value on December 31, 2018 can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an annuity due as follows:
PV = P * ((1 - [1 / (1+r))^n) / r) * (1+r) .................................. (2)
Where;
Where;
PV = present value on December 31, 2018 = ?
P = Annual annuity = $5,000
r = Annual interest rate = 12%, or 0.12
n = number of years = 5
Substitute the values into equation (1), we have:
PV = $5,000 * ((1 - [1 / (1+0.12))^5) / 0.12) * (1+0.12)
PV = $5,000 * 3.60477620234501 * 1.12
PV = $5,000 * 4.03734934662641
PV = $20,186.75
3. The first payment is received on December 31, 2019, and interest is compounded quarterly.
Note: See the calculation of the present value on December 31, 2018 in the attached excel file.
This is also an example of ordinary annuity.
In the attached excel file, the following formula is used:
Discounting factor = 1 / (1 + r)^n .............. (1)
Where;
r = Quarterly interest rate = Annual interest rate / Number of quarters in a year = 12% / 4 = 0.12 / 4 = 0.03
n = number of quarters = number of years * Number of quarters in a year
From the attached excel file, we have:
Present value on December 31, 2018 = Total present value = $17,780.59

Sheridan Enterprises reported cost of goods sold for 2020 of $1,322,900 and retained earnings of $4,854,000 at December 31, 2020. Sheridan later discovered that its ending inventories at December 31, 2019 and 2020, were overstated by $106,470 and $36,820, respectively. Determine the corrected amounts for 2020 cost of goods sold and December 31, 2020, retained earnings. Corrected cost of goods sold $enter a dollar amount Corrected 12/31/20 retained earnings $enter a dollar amount
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
With regard to the above information,
1. Corrected cost of goods sold is computed as
= Cost of goods sold + Overstated ending inventories 2019 - overstated ending inventories 2020
= $1,322,900 + $106,470 - $36,820
= $1,253,250
2. Corrected 12/31/2020 retained earnings is computed as
= Retained earnings DEC 2020 - overstated ending inventories 2020
= $4,854,000 - $36,820
= $4,817,180
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.

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.
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.
