8. Problems and Applications Q8 The city government is considering two tax proposals: • A lump-sum tax of $300 on each producer of hamburgers. • A tax of $1 per burger, paid by producers of hamburgers. Which of the following statements is true as a result of the lump-sum tax? Check all that apply. Average fixed cost will increase. Average variable cost will remain unchanged. Average total cost will increase. Marginal cost will increase. Which of the following statements is true as a result of the per-burger tax? Check all that apply. Average fixed cost will remain unchanged. Average total cost will increase. Average variable cost will increase. Marginal cost will remain unchanged.
Answer:
Which of the following statements is true as a result of the lump-sum tax?
Average fixed cost will increase.
Average total cost will increase.
The lump-sum tax of $300 is a one time payment that does not depend on the amount of output, for this reason, it is a fixed cost that is spread over the total quantity of burgers that are produced, and that also affect average total cost.
Which of the following statements is true as a result of the per-burger tax?
Average fixed cost will remain unchanged.
Average total cost will increase.
Average variable cost will increase.
The per-burger tax depends on the quanityt of burgers produced, therefore, it is another variable cost. It affects average total cost, and average variable cost, while average fixed cost remains unchaged precisely because it is not a fixed cost.
The average cost of production is computed by dividing the number cost (TC) by the output produced (TO) (Q). When we say "per unit cost of production," we mean that all fixed and variable costs are taken into account when calculating the average cost.
As a result, it's also known as Per Unit Total Cost.
The answers to the above questions are:
1) The $300 lump-sum tax is a one-time contribution that is not based on the amount of output; as a result, it is a fixed cost that is distributed across the total quantity of burgers produced, affecting the average total cost.
So, Option A and C are correct.
2) The per-burger tax is a variable expense that is determined by the number of burgers consumed. It has an effect on average total cost and average variable cost, but it has no effect on average fixed cost because it is not a fixed cost.
So, Option A, B, and C are correct.
Thus these Options are correct for the following question.

A company received a bank statement showing a balance of $78,000. Reconciling items included outstanding checks of $2,400 and a deposit in transit of $9,400. What is the company's adjusted bank balance
Answer:
Adjusted Bank Balance = $85,000
Explanation:
Adjustment of bank balance is a bank reconciliation procedure, that is used to match the amount in the bank statement with the amount in the company's balance sheet.
To adjust the bank balance, particulars that need to be subtracted or added to the bank statement balance has to be identified and treated accordingly.
For this example, the adjusted balance is calculated thus:
Adjusted bank balance = (Bank statement balance) - (outstanding checks) +(deposit in transit)
Adjusted Bank Balance = 78,000 - 2,400 + 9,400 = $85,000
Note:
outstanding checks are subtracted because they are payments to be made made by the company, representing a liability to the company (payer)
deposit in transit is an income to the company that has not been credited yet, but that will be credited.
Your uncle lends you $2,000 less $100 (interest at 5 percent), and you receive $1,900. Use the APR formula to find the true annual percentage rate. Assume you repay the entire loan in one year
Answer:
APR =5.263%
Explanation:
Computation of the true annual percentage rate
Using the APR formula to find the true annual percentage rate
APR=(2 × n × I) / [P × (N + 1)]
Hence;
APR= (2 × 1 × $100) / [$1,900 × (1 + 1)]
APR=$200/($1,900×2)
APR=$200/$3,800
APR= 0.05263 ×100
APR =5.263%
Therefore the true annual percentage rate using the APR formula will be 5.263%

Review the "Types of Distribution Channels" study material. Explain why the selection of distribution channels is essential to a successful marketing strategy. Provide an example of a well-known company's distribution channels and defend their choices. In replies to peers, agree or disagree with their assessment and justify your response.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although the question does not provide a specific text, we can say that the selection of distribution channels is essential to a successful marketing strategy because that is how companies deliver their products to consumers. This is of key importance due to the fact that there are numerous competitors selling the same or similar products so the company has to be precise and effective in delivering the product to match the client's expectations.
One good example of a successful company would be Underarmour. This Maryland company sells its products through direct distribution, uses intermediaries and brokers, has open many outlets where the company sells direct to the consumer, and also sells products through e-commerce portals. You can find Underarmour apparel in big chain stores, fashion stores, the internet, and sports stores.
Joe has just moved to a small town with only one golf course, the Northlands Golf Club. His inverse demand function is pequals 160minus2 q, where q is the number of rounds of golf that he plays per year. The manager of the Northlands Club negotiates separately with each person who joins the club and can therefore charge individual prices. This manager has a good idea of what Joe's demand curve is and offers Joe a special deal, where Joe pays an annual membership fee and can play as many rounds as he wants at $20 , which is the marginal cost his round imposes on the Club. What membership fee would maximize profit for the Club? The manager could have charged Joe a single price per round. How much extra profit does the Club earn by using two-part pricing? The profit-maximizing membership fee (F) is $nothing . (Enter your response as a whole number.)
Answer:
Club membership fee of $60 would maximize profit.
If the club charges tow part pricing the maximum revenue can be $3500.
Explanation:
Joe has entered into a monopoly because he is owner of single golf course in the Northlands.
Demand function for Joe's golf course is:
P = 160 - 2q
P = $20 , q = 50
160 - 2 (50) = 60
Consumer surplus = 0.5 * equilibrium quantity
Consumer Surplus for Joe is ; 0.5 * 50 (160 - 20) = $3500
If MR = MC then demand function will become :
160 - 4q
If q = 25 then
160 - 4 * 25 = 60
Six years ago, James Corporation sold a $100 million bond issue to expand its facilities. Each debenture has a $1,000 par value, an original maturity of 20 years (there are now 14 years left to maturity), and an annual coupon rate of 11.5% with semiannual payments. If you require a 14% return, what price would you pay today for a James bond?
Answer:
Price of Bonds=$848.286
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value (PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV) discounted at the yield rate
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of bond for James Corporation can be worked out as follows:
Step 1
PV of interest payments
PV = A × (1+r)^(-n)/r
A- semiannual interest payment, n-number of periods, r- semi annul yield
A-semi- annul interest payment:
=11.5%× 1,000× 1/2 = 75
r-semi-Annual yield = 14%/2 = 7%
n-Maturity period =1 4 × 2= 28
PV of interest payment:
=57.5 × (1- (1+0.07)^(-28)/0.07)
= 697.88
Step 2
PV of Redemption Value
= 1,000 × (1.07)^(-28) = 150.40
Step 3
Price of bond
=697.88 + 150.40
=$848.286

ABC Appliance offers a warranty requiring an annual fee. The warranty may be purchased at the time of sale or at any time within the first year after the appliance was purchased. The warranty fee after the date of purchase is twice the time-of-purchase fee. When asked why the fee was higher after the date of purchase, ABC's president said, "Buying a warranty is voluntary. We've noted that those who buy the warranty after the purchase date have a greater need for service." Charging the same rate or a lower rate after the date of purchase would expose ABC to what problem that also impacts private insurers?
Answer: adverse selection
Explanation:
Adverse selection is a situation whereby the sellers possesses information that the buyers do not have. It may also be the other way round whereby the buyers have information which the sellers don't have regarding the quality of a product.
There is information failure between both parties; typically, it's usually the sellers who has more information. Therefore, base on the scenario above, charging same rate or lower rate after the date of the purchase would expose ABC to adverse selection problems.

What did Jacob record as Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) on its 2012 income statement
Answer:
$2,857
Explanation:
Cost of goods sold (COGS) refers to the relevant cost incurred to acquire or produce the products being sold a company during a particular period.
The formula for calculating the COGS is as follows:
COGS = Beginning inventories + Purchases - Ending inventories
From the question, we have the following for 2012:
Beginning stock = $590
Purchases = $2,770
Ending inventory = 503
Therefore, we have:
COGS for 2012 = $590 + $2,770 - $503 = $2,857
Therefore, Jacob should record $2,857 as Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) on its 2012 income statement.

Photo Framing's cost formula for its supplies cost is $1,200 per month plus $20 per frame. For the month of November, the company planned for activity of 618 frames, but the actual level of activity was 610 frames. The actual supplies cost for the month was $13,850. The spending variance for supplies cost in November would be closest to:
Answer:
Direct material spending variance= $451.4 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Photo Framing's cost formula for its supplies cost is $1,200 per month plus $20 per frame.
Actual level of activity was 610 frames. The actual supplies cost for the month was $13,850.
To calculate the spending variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Actual price= (13,850 - 1,200)/610= $20.74
Direct material price variance= (20 - 20.74)*610
Direct material price variance= $451.4 unfavorable
Increased Efficiency, Inc. is looking for ways to shorten its cash conversion cycle. It has annual sales of $36,500,000, or $100,000 a day on a 365-day basis. The firm's cost of goods sold is 65% of sales. On average, the company has $9,000,000 in inventory and $8,000,000 in accounts receivable. Its CFO has proposed new policies that would result in a 20% reduction in both average inventories and accounts receivable. She also anticipates that these policies would reduce sales by 10%, while the payables deferral period would remain unchanged at 40 days. What effect would these policies have on the company's cash conversion cycle
Answer and Explanation:
The cash conversion cycle refers to the cycle which includes the days inventory outstanding and days sales outstanding and deduct the days payable outstanding
The cash cycle = Days inventory outstanding + days sale outstanding - days payable outstanding
The computation is shown in the attachment below:
As we can see in the attachment the new proposed policy i.e 234.19 days would decrease the cash conversion cycle by 24.27 days as compared with the current proposal policy i.e 258.46 days
There is often litter along highways but rarely in people's yards. Which of the following statements help explain this observation?
a. Littering on the highway generates a positive externality.
b. The private cost of littering on the highway is low.
c. The private cost of littering on your own yard exceeds the social cost.
Answer:
The answer is A and C
Explanation:
Solution
Social costs refers to the total cost of an activity incurred by society.
Private costs are direct costs incurred by an individual
Frequently there is liter along the high ways but rarely in people's yards because the social cost of littering is more than private cost. since the society must bear the negative externality, the social cost is more and the private cost is less.
The private cost is higher when one liters on his own yard as the cost is only borne or carried by the owner and not the society.

1. A company sells a plant asset that originally cost $375,000 for $125,000 on December 31, 2017. The accumulated depreciation account had a balance of $150,000 after the current year's depreciation of $37,500 had been recorded. The company should recognize a
Answer:
The company should recognize a loss on sale of plant asset of $100,00.
Explanation:
The cost = $375,000
Accumulated Depreciation = $150,000
Therefore, book value = $225,000
This book value is compared with the sales value of $125,000.
There is a difference of $100,000 ($225,000 - $125,000).
Since the book value is greater than the sales value, it means that the plant asset was sold at a loss.
The cost is the amount at which the plant asset was purchased. The accumulated depreciation represents the cost that has been expensed so far. The sales value is the amount at which the plant asset was sold.

Total $5,610 $42,730 $112,550 $160,890
Manufacturing overhead for the month was underapplied by $1,000. The company allocates any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead among work in process, finished goods, and cost of goods sold at the end of the month on the basis of the overhead applied during the month in those accounts. The work in process inventory at the end of June after allocation of any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead for the month is closest to:
a. $5,570
b. $5,575
c. $5,645
d.$5,650
Answer:

Jayne Butterfield, a single mother with three children, lived in Sacramento, California. Sarah Huckleberry also lived in California until she moved to New York City to open and operate an art gallery. Huckleberry asked Butterfield to manage the gallery under a one-year contract for an annual salary of $90,000. To begin work, Butterfield relocated to New York. As part of the move, Butterfield transferred custody of her children to her husband, who lived in London, England. In accepting the job, Butterfield also forfeited her husband's alimony and child-support payments, including unpaid amounts of nearly $45,000. Before Butterfield started work, Huckleberry repudiated the contract. Unable to find employment for more than an annual salary of $30,000, Butterfield moved to London to be near her children. She filed a suit in an California state court against Huckleberry, seeking damages for breach of contract. Should the court hold, as Huckleberry argued, that Butterfield did not take reasonable steps to mitigate her damages? Why or why not?
Answer:
No, the court should not hold in favor of Huckleberry.
Explanation:
The rule of mitigation that Huckleberry tries to use in her favor states that the non-breaching party (Butterfield) should have taken all the necessary steps to reduce her loss, e.g. take a job in New York. She probably argued that Butterfield leaving for England to meet with her children made things worse.
But in this case, Butterfield relied on Huckleberry's promise to organize her life and the well being of her children. Butterfield made a lot of changes and sacrifices in her life because of this, e.g. forfeiting unpaid alimony, transferring custody of her children , etc.
Moving to a different city or country requires a lot of work, expat life is not easy and not everyone can handle it. Butterfield took decisions that affected the lives of many people and she is not responsible for Huckleberry's breaching, the only party responsible for all this mess is Huckleberry and it is normal that Butterfield would want to go to where her children are.
Collins Company borrowed $1,250,000 from BankTwo on January 1, 2016 in order to expand its mining capabilities. The five-year note required annual payments of $325,545 and carried an annual interest rate of 9.5%. What is the amount of expense Collins must recognize on its 2017 income statement
Answer:
Collins Company must recognize $118,750 (which is annual interest paid on the capital) in its 2017 income statement as an expense item if the method of computing the interest is the flat rate method.
If it is reducing balance rate, then the amount deducted will equal $ 87,823
Explanation:
According to the principles of Financial Accounting, the interest portion of any loan must be entered as an expense item. The portion of the principal being paid back is recorded as part of the liability of the company in the period under consideration. It often goes by the term Loan Payable or Notes Payable.
Hence to arrive at the answers given above, you must note that the year in question is 2017 and that the loan took effect from January 2016.
When computing for interest payable, two methods may be used:
Flat rate method: which requires that the interest rate applicable is computed on the capital and multiplied by the number of years the loan will run.That is, $1,250,000 x 9.5% x 5 = Total Interest Rate Applicable.
= $593,750 so going by this method, the interest rate to be entered is
= $593, 750/5
= $118,750
2. Reducing balance rate method: This requires the rate of interest to be applied each year succesievely having taken into account the capital which way paid in the previous year.
That is, [Initial Capital-Annual Payments] *9.5%
For year 2016, annual payment will be Zero. Given that the loan started in that year. In 2017 however, the annual payment will apply as shown below:
= [$1,250,000-$325,545] *9.5%
= $924, 455 * 9.5%
= $87,823 (approximately)

Production estimates for July are as follows:
Estimated inventory (units), July 1 725
Desired inventory (units), July 31 1, 200
Expected sales volume (units), July 7,500
For each unit produced four hours of direct labor is required. The labor rate per hour is $15. The number of direct labor hours required for July production is:_________
Answer:
31,900
Explanation:
For the computation of the number of direct labor hours required for July production first we need to find out the production in units which is shown below:-
Production in units = Expected sales in Units + Ending Inventory - Beginning inventory
= 7,500 + 1,200 - 725
= 7,975
Total direct labor hours required = Production in units × Hours per unit
= 7,975 × 4
= 31,900
We simply applied the above formulas
