What profit can be anticipated with a demand of 3,400 copies?
With a demand of 3,400 copies, what is the access price per copy that the publisher must charge to break even?
Answer:
Eastman Publishing Company
a) A loss of $7,200 can be anticipated with a demand of 3,400.
b) The access price per copy with a demand of 3,400 copies should be $51.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Fixed cost = $150,000
Variable costs per book = $7
Selling price of single-user access per book = $49
Demand = 3,400 copies
Profit based on a demand of 3,400 copies:
Income Statement:
Sales Revenue ($49 *3,400) $166,600
Variable costs ($7 * 3,400) 23,400
Contribution margin $142,800
Fixed cost 150,000
Net loss $7,200
To break-even, the total sales revenue should be equal to the total costs. Therefore, the access price should be:
Total costs:
Fixed cost $150,000
Variable 23,400
Total costs $173,400
Sales unit 3,400
Access price = $51.00 ($173,400/3,400)
A researcher sets up an experiment involving the use of some sophisticated equipment. The research proposal is approved by the IRB and a grant to cover the cost of the equipment is received from a funding agency. The researcher does not mention that he owns stock in the company he chooses to supply the equipment. The same type of equipment is available from other companies, of comparable quality and price. Is this ethical or unethical
Answer:
This is unethical
Explanation:
Unethical behaviour is defined as a behaviour that is considered o be morally wrong for a group of people or in a given industry.
In the given scenario the researcher is using sophisticated equipment for an experiment.
He chose a company that he has shares in to supply the equipment.
This can be seen as a use of his influence for financial gain that is outside the normal compensation he is receiving

If business property or property held for the production of income is destroyed, the loss is equal to the adjusted basis of the property at the time of destruction.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
A) true
Explanation:
Business property could be of different types such as Real property(real estate) which comprises building as well as land. As regards to business real property could be property such as warehouses, offices as well as factories which is been owned by the business. If these properties are been held for income production, the loss can be attributed to adjusted basis during the destruction of the property. It should be noted If business property or property held for the production of income is completely destroyed, the loss is equal to the adjusted basis of the property at the time of destruction.
A sales representative lives in Bloomington and must be in Indianapolis next Thursday. On each of the days Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, he can sell his wares in Indianapolis, Bloomington, or Chicago. From past experience, he believes that he can earn $12 from spending a day in Indianapolis, $16 from spending a day in Bloomington, and $17 from spending a day in Chicago. Where should he spend the first three days
Answer:
Bloomington.
Explanation:
Since a sales representative lives in Bloomington and must be in Indianapolis next Thursday, and on each of the days Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, he can sell his wares in Indianapolis, Bloomington, or Chicago, and from past experience, he believes that he can earn $ 12 from spending a day in Indianapolis, $ 16 from spending a day in Bloomington, and $ 17 from spending a day in Chicago, to determine where he should spend the first three days, the following calculation must be performed:
Indianapolis: 12 x 3 = 36
Bloomington: 16 x 3 = 48
Chicago: 17 x 3 = 51
Thus, in principle, the representative should spend his 3 days in Chicago, but if the cost of travel is discounted, he should spend those 3 days in Bloomington, since he will earn more money than if he moves in advance to Indianapolis.
Three identical units of merchandise were purchased during July, as follows: Date Product T Units Cost July 3 Purchase 1 $31 10 Purchase 1 34 24 Purchase 1 37 Total 3 $102 Average cost per unit $34 Assume one unit sells on July 28 for $48. Determine the gross profit, cost of goods sold, and ending inventory on July 31 using (a) first-in, first-out, (b) last-in, first-out, and (c) average cost flow methods.
Answer:
(a) first-in, first-out,
Cost of Sales = $31
Ending Inventory = $71
Gross Profit = $17
(b) last-in, first-out,
Cost of Sales = $37
Ending Inventory = $65
Gross Profit = $17
(c) average cost flow methods.
Cost of Sales = $48
Ending Inventory = $96
Gross Profit = $0
Explanation:
(a) first-in, first-out,
FIFO method assumes that the units to arrive first, will be sold first. This means cost of sales will be based on earlier (old) prices whilst inventory valuation will be on recent (new) prices.
Cost of Sales = 1 x $31 = $31
Ending Inventory = 1 x $34 + 1 x $37 = $71
Gross Profit = $48 - $31 = $17
(b) last-in, first-out,
LIFO method assumes that the units to arrive last will be sold first. This means cost of sales will be based on recent (new) prices whilst inventory valuation will be on earlier (old) prices.
Cost of Sales = 1 x $37 = $37
Ending Inventory = 1 x $34 + 1 x $31 = $65
Gross Profit = $48 - $37 = $17
(c) average cost flow methods.
This method calculates a new average unit cost with each and every purchase made. This unit cost is used to determine the cost of sales and inventory value.
Cost of Sales = 1 x $48 = $48
Ending Inventory = 2 x $48 = $96
Gross Profit = $48 - $48 = $0

Explanation:
Variable Costing Calculations
Unit Product Cost = Variable Manufacturing Costs
= $ 42 + $ 26 + $ 2
= $ 70
Cost of Goods Manufactured = 6,600 x $ 70 = $462,000
Opening Inventory = 290 x $ 70 = $20,300
Ending Inventory = 300 x $70 = $21,000
Absorption Costing Calculations
Unit Product Cost = Variable Manufacturing Costs
= $ 42 + $ 26 + $ 2 + ($ 151,800 ÷ 6,600)
= $ 42 + $ 26 + $ 2 + $23
= $93
Cost of Goods Manufactured = 6,600 x $93 = $613,800
Opening Inventory = 290 x $93 = $26,970
Ending Inventory = 300 x $93 = $27,900
Explain what boundaries are and why they are important in decision-making.
Answer:
boundaries are that invisible line in social structure that people try not to cross lest by accident.
Explanation:
When you are making decisions you always have to think of the outcome or else you could end up doing something bad or wrong. Boundaries in decisions making are so you don't just go and do whatever without thinking. we as humans subconsciously try not to cross other people's boundaries for mainly two reasons. The first is it makes people feel uncomfortable. The second is that it brings out our inner guilt. if you cross someone's boundaries you will most likely realize it imededietly and to to back off instinctively.

Ace Company purchased 10,000 bonds issued by Jack Company in 2018 for $53 per bond and classified the investment as securities available-for-sale. The value of the Jack investment was $83 per bond on December 31, 2019, and $100 per bond on December 31, 2020. During 2021, Ace sold all of its Jack investment at $148 per bond. In its 2021 income statement, Ace would report: Multiple Choice A gain of $950,000. A gain of $480,000. A gain of $470,000. A gain of $1,420,000.
Answer:
A gain of $950,000
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
= ($83 - $53) × 10,000 bonds + ($100 - $83) × 10,000 bonds + ($148 - $100) × 10,000 bonds
= $300,000 + $170,000 + $480,000
= $950,000
Hence, the first option is correct
Before year-end adjusting entries, Dunn Company's account balances at December 31, 2010, for accounts receivable and the related allowance for uncollectible accounts were $600,000 and $45,000, respectively. An aging of accounts receivable indicated that $62,500 of the December 31 receivables are expected to be uncollectible. The net realizable value of accounts receivable after adjustment is
Answer: $537500
Explanation:
The net realizable value of accounts receivable after adjustment will be the difference between the account receivable at December 31st and the expected uncollectible. This will be:
= $600,000 - $62,500
= $537500
Therefore, the answer is $537500
Vince says that the present value of $500 to be received one year from today if the interest rate is 8 percent is more than the present value of $500 to be received two years from today if the interest rate is 4 percent. Terri says that $500 saved for two years at an interest rate of 3 percent has a larger future value than $500 saved for one years at an interest rate of 6 percent. a. Both Vince and Terri are correct. b. Only Vince is correct. c. Only Terri is correct. d. Neither Vince nor Terri is correct.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
To determine if Vince is right, we have to determine the present value of the amounts
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value of $500 to be received one year from today500 / 1.08 = $462.96
Present value of $500 to be received two years from today500 / (1.04^2) = $462.28
$462.96 > $462.28 Vince is right
To determine if Terri is right, we have to determine the future value of the amounts
The formula for calculating future value:
FV = P (1 + r)^n
FV = Future value
P = Present value
R = interest rate
N = number of years
500 x (1.03)^2 = $530.45
500 x (1.06) = $530
$530.45 > $530 Terri is right
they are both correct
Nemo Gill was hired by the Spectacular Tropical Aquarium and agreed to submit any disputes arising out of his employment to binding arbitration. Nemo was fired when he became a Rastafarian and urged his coworkers to become vegetarians and smoke ganja. Without waiting for the results of the arbitration, Nemo filed a complaint alleging religious discrimination with the EEOC. The EEOC quickly filed a lawsuit on his behalf. Spectacular moved to have the EEOC's lawsuit dismissed on the grounds that Nemo signed a valid arbitration agreement.
a. The EEOC cannot bring a lawsuit enforcement action against Spectacular because Nemo signed the mandatory arbitration agreement.
b. The EEOC can bring a lawsuit enforcement action against Spectacular despite Nemo's agreeing to arbitration.
c. The EEOC cannot bring a lawsuit enforcement action against Spectacular because Nemo did not wait for the results of the arbitration.
d. The EEOC cannot bring a lawsuit enforcement action against Spectacular because Nemo's urging his co-workers to smoke ganja and become vegetarians had nothing to do with his job.
Answer:
The correct answer to the question above is OPTION B (The EEOC can bring a lawsuit enforcement action against Spectacular despite Nemo's agreeing to arbitration).
Explanation:
Companies (mostly private) usually desire their employees to sign an arbitration agreement giving the fact that it removes the power of an employee to take the employer to court on certain claims instead the claims go through an arbitration proceeding that happens outside of court.
EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) enforces the laws of the state that prohibits discrimination against employees by their employers because of where they come from, their religion, their marital status, sex, their citizenship, and a whole lot more.
So, the EEOC can bring a lawsuit enforcement action against Spectacular despite Nemo's agreeing to arbitration because the EEOC itself was not a party to the arbitration agreement between Spectacular and Nemo, and the U. S. Supreme Court gave EEOC the power to exercise its enforcement powers.
The Change Corporation has two different bonds currently outstanding. Bond M has a face value of $30,000 and matures in 20 years. The bond makes no payments for the first six years, then pays $3,100 every six months over the subsequent eight years, and finally pays $3,400 every six months over the last six years. Bond N also has a face value of $30,000 and a maturity of 20 years; it makes no coupon payments over the life of the bond. The required return on both these bonds is 12% compounded semi-annually. What is the current price of Bond M and Bond N?
Answer:
a. Current price of Bond M = $24,062.31
b. Current price of Bond N = $2,916.67
Explanation:
a. Calculation of current price of Bond M
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of current price of Bond M (in bold red color).
In the attached excel file, the following are used:
r = required return = 12%
s = number of semiannuals in a year = 2
From the attached excel file, we have:
Current price of Bond M = $24,062.31
b. Calculation of current price of Bond N
This can be calculated using the following formula:
Current price of Bond N = Face value of bond N / (100% + Semiannual required return)^n ............................ (1)
Where;
Face value of bond N = $30,000
Semiannual required return = Required return / Number of semiannual in a year = 12% / 2 = 6%
n = Number of semiannuals = Number of years of maturity * Number of semiannual in a year = 20 * 2 = 40
Substituting the above into equation (1), we have:
Current price of Bond N = $30,000 / (100% + 6%)^40 = $2,916.67
When the original poverty line was created, even some people living above the poverty line did not have access to a phone or running water in their homes.
Today, running water is expected. Beyond that, the norm for our contemporary society includes having cell phones and internet access. In fact, the U.S. government provides grants to bring high-speed in-home internet access to underserved rural areas.
Consider both the benefits and the shortcomings of the U.S. poverty line as a means of assessing poverty today.
The U.S. poverty line was originally set at
a. an income level of $1.90 per day.
b. sufficient income to provide for a family of four.
c. one-third of the median income in the United States.
d. three times the cost of a low-cost food plan.
Answer:
d. three times the cost of a low-cost food plan.
Explanation:
The U.S. poverty line is measured based on three times the cost of low-cost food plan. The people in the rural areas are considered more poor and they are provided with basic necessities. The U.S. government takes initiatives to encourage rural population to contribute their expertise and strengths in some projects. They provide welfare benefit to those who are needy and can not survive on their earnings.

Poehling Medical Center has a single operating room that is used by local physicians to perform surgical procedures. The cost of using the operating room is accumulated by each patient procedure and includes the direct materials costs (drugs and medical devices), physician surgical time, and operating room overhead. On January 1 of the current year, the annual operating room overhead is estimated to be: Disposable supplies $278,900 Depreciation expense 69,800 Utilities 29,800 Nurse salaries 259,300 Technician wages 118,200 Total operating room overhead $756,000 The overhead costs will be assigned to procedures, based on the number of surgical room hours. Poehling Medical Center expects to use the operating room an average of eight hours per day, seven days per week. In addition, the operating room will be shut down two weeks per year for general repairs. This information has been collected in the Microsoft Excel Online file. Open the spreadsheet, perform the required analysis, and input your answers in the questions below.1. Determine the predetermined operating room overhead rate for the year.
2. Bill Harris has a five-hours procedure on Jan 22. How much operating room overhead would be charged to his procedure, using the rate determined in part 1?
3. During January, the operating room was used 240 hours. The actual overhead costs incurred for January were $67,250. Determine the overhead under or over applied for the period.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Total number of surgical room hours= (8*7)*52= 2,912 hours
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 756,000 / 2,912
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $259.61 per surgical room hour
Now, we can allocate costs using the following formula:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 259.61*5
Allocated MOH= $1,298.05
Finally, the under/over allocation for January:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Allocated overhead= 259.61*240= $62,306.4
Under/over applied overhead= 67,250 - 62,306.4
Underapplied overhead= $4,943.6

Air Tampa has just been incorporated, and its board of directors is grappling with the question of optimal capital structure. The company plans to offer commuter air services between Tampa and smaller surrounding cities. Air Tampa believes it would have the same business risk as Jaxair, which is an airline that has been around for a few years and that has had zero growth. Jaxair's market-determined beta is 1.8, and it has a current market value debt ratio (total debt to total assets) of 45% and a federal-plus-state tax rate of 25%. Air Tampa expects to have investment tax credits when it begins business, which reduces its federal-plus-state tax rate to 15%. Air Tampa's owners expect that the total book and market value of the firm's stock, if it uses zero debt, would be $14 million. Air Tampa's CFO believes that the MM and Hamada formulas for the value of a levered firm and the levered firm's cost of capital should be used because zero growth is expected.
Required:
a. Estimate the beta of an unlevered firm in the commuter airline business based on Jaxair's market-determined beta.
b. Now assume that rd= rRF= 10% and that the market risk premium RPM for an unlevered commuter airline. 5%. Find the required rate of return on equity
c. Air Tampa is considering three capital structures: (1) $2 million debt, (2) $4 million debt, and (3) $6 million debt. Estimate Air Tampa's rs for these debt levels.
Answer:
a. Unlevered beta = 1.12
b. Required rate of return on equity = 15.60%
c-1. rs = 16.37%
c-2. rs = 17.40%
c-2. rs = 18.81%
Explanation:
a. Estimate the beta of an unlevered firm in the commuter airline business based on Jaxair's market-determined beta.
Levered beta = Unlevered beta * (1 + (D/S)(1 - T))
Therefore, we have:
Unlevered beta = Levered beta / (1 + (D/S)(1 - T)) .............. (1)
Where:
Levered beta = Jaxair's market-determined beta = 1.8
D = Debt ratio = 45%, or 0.45
S = Equity ratio = 1 - D = 1 - 0.45 = 0.55
T = Federal-plus-state tax rate = 25%, or 0.25
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Unlevered beta = 1.8 / (1 + (0.45/0.55)(1 - 0.25)) = 1.12
b. Now assume that rd= rRF= 10% and that the market risk premium RPM for an unlevered commuter airline. 5%. Find the required rate of return on equity
Required rate of return on equity = ro = Rf + beta(Rm - Rf) .............. (2)
Where;
rd = Rf = 10%, or 0.10
beta = Unlevered beta = 1.12
(Rm - Rf) = market risk premium = RPM for an unlevered commuter airline = 5%, or 0.05
Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:
Required rate of return on equity = ro = 10% + 1.12(5%) = 10% + (1.12 * 5%) = 15.60%
c. Air Tampa is considering three capital structures: (1) $2 million debt, (2) $4 million debt, and (3) $6 million debt. Estimate Air Tampa's rs for these debt levels.
c-1. $2 million debt
D = Debt = $2 million
Value of unlevered firm = $14 million
T = Tax rate at start-up = 15%, or 0.15
Value of lerevered firm = Value of unlevered firm + (Debt * T) = $14 + ($2 * 15%) = $14.30 million
S = Value of equity = Value of lerevered firm - Debt = $14.30 - $2 = $12.30 million
rs = ro + ((ro - rd) * (D / S) * (1 - T)) ................... (3)
Where;
ro = 15.60%
rd = Rf = 10%, or 0.10
D = Debt = $2 million
S = Value of equity = $12.30 million
T = Tax rate at start-up = 15%, or 0.15
Substituting the values into equation (3), we have:
rs = 15.60% + ((15.60% - 10%) * (2 / 12.30) * (1 - 0.15)) = 16.37%
c-2. $4 million debt
D = Debt = $4 million
Value of unlevered firm = $14 million
T = Tax rate at start-up = 15%, or 0.15
Value of lerevered firm = Value of unlevered firm + (Debt * T) = $14 + ($4 * 15%) = $14.60 million
S = Value of equity = Value of lerevered firm - Debt = $14.60 - $4 = $10.60 million
Substituting all the relevant values into equation (3), we have:
rs = 15.60% + ((15.60% - 10%) * (4 / 10.60) * (1 - 0.15)) = 17.40%
c-3. $6 million debt
D = Debt = $6 million
Value of unlevered firm = $14 million
T = Tax rate at start-up = 15%, or 0.15
Value of lerevered firm = Value of unlevered firm + (Debt * T) = $14 + ($6 * 15%) = $14.90 million
S = Value of equity = Value of lerevered firm - Debt = $14.90 - $6 = $8.90 million
Substituting all the relevant values into equation (3), we have:
rs = 15.60% + ((15.60% - 10%) * (6 / 8.90) * (1 - 0.15)) = 18.81%
How did the Internet help give rise to the “sharing economy?”
By the means of internet apps that rent directly to consumers or connect consumer peer to peer access. For an example eBay was one of the first enablers of the sharing economy since it provided a global marketing where anyone could purchase or sell goods.

it takes fena tailoring 2 hr of cutting and 4 hr of sewing to make a tiered silk organza bridal dress. it takes 4 hr of cutting and 2 hr of sewing to make a lace sheath bridal dress. the shop has at most 18 hr per week available for cutting and at most 18 hr per week for sewing. the profit is $318 on an organza dress and $167 on a lace dress. how many of each kind of bridal dress should be made each week in order to maximize profit
Answer:
Fena should make 2 organza bridal dresses and 4 lace dresses which will yield maximum profit of $1,498.
Explanation:
Fena has choice between two types of bridal dresses for stiching. She can make either organza dresses or lace dresses. The combination of both dress will be identified by equation :
P = 318x + 216y
2x + 4y ≤ 18
3x + 2y ≤ 24
solving the equation we will get maximum profit of $1,498.
Paparo Corporation has provided the following data from its activity-based costing system: Activity Cost Pool Total Cost Total Activity Assembly $ 794,300 47,000 machine-hours Processing orders $ 61,280 1,600 orders Inspection $ 109,681 1,430 inspection-hours Data concerning the company's product Q79Y appear below: Annual unit production and sales 500 Annual machine-hours 1,130 Annual number of orders 115 Annual inspection hours 20 Direct materials cost $ 42.00 per unit Direct labor cost $ 41.31 per unit According to the activity-based costing system, the average cost of product Q79Y is closest to:
Answer:
Unitary costs= $133.38
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the activities rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Assembly= 794,300 / 47,000= $16.9 per machine-hour
Processing orders= 61,280 / 1,600= $38.3 per order
Inspection= 109,681 / 1,430= $76.7 per inspection-hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Assembly= 16.9*1,130= 19,097
Processing orders= 38.3*115= 4,404.5
Inspection= 76.7*20= 1,534
Total allocated costs= $25,035.5
Finally, the unitary costs:
Unitary allocated costs= 25,035.5/500= $50.07
Unitary costs= 50.07 + 42 + 41.31
Unitary costs= $133.38

9. Matilda just graduated from college. In order to devote all her efforts to college, she did not hold a job. Matilda just graduated from college. In order to devote all her efforts to college, she did not hold a job. She is going to cruise around the country on her motorcycle for a month before she starts looking for work. Other things the same, the unemployment rate ____________ and the labor force participation rate ______________.
Answer:
Remain the same; remain the same.
Explanation:
Unemployment rate refers to the percentage of the total labor force in an economy, who are unemployed but seeking to be gainfully employed. The unemployment rate is divided into various types, these include;
I. Natural Rate of Unemployment (NU).
II. Frictional unemployment rate (FU).
III. Structural unemployment rate (SU).
IV. Actual unemployment rate (AU).
V. Cyclical unemployment rate (CU).
There are different measures used in the measurement of the unemployment rate in a country's economy and these includes;
A. U-1: this is the percentage of people that are unemployed for at least 15 weeks or more.
B. U-2: this is the percentage of the people who have lost their job or the people that finished a temporary job.
C. U-3: this is the percentage of the population that is unemployed but actively seeking employment.
All things being equal (ceteris paribus), the unemployment rate would remain the same and the labor force participation rate remain the same because Matilda has decided to cruise around the country on her motorcycle for a month before she starts looking for work.
