Answer:
no, since other things are not held constant, including her income
Explanation:
The law of demand states that price has an inverse relationship with quantity demanded of a good. As price increases the demand reduces, and as price decreases quantity demanded increases.
However this is true when all other factors reman constant.
In the given scenario the price of hamburger has fallen but Hilary buys less of it. This looks like a violation of the law of demand, but her income has changed so the law of demand may not hold here.
All factors do not remain constant.
Hilary's behaviour can be explained by the concept income effect. Where an increase in income leads to the consumer buying more of expensive goods than cheaper ones.
Assume you gave up a $60,000 per year job at an accounting firm to start your own tax preparation business. To simplify, assume your tax personal obligations are the same whether you run your own firm or work for another firm. If your revenue during the first year of business is $75,000, and you incurred $5,000 in expenses for equipment and supplies, how much is your accounting profit
Answer:
Accounting profit= $70,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
If your revenue during the first year of business is $75,000, and you incurred $5,000 in expenses for equipment and supplies, how much is your accounting profit
The accounting profit does not include the opportunity cost of leaving the accounting job. In this case, the accounting profit is:
Accounting profit= revenue - costs
Accounting profit= 75,000 - 5,000
Accounting profit= $70,000
Supposed that the daily wage for miners is $110 and that of the muckers is $90 per day. Find the long run cost function for US Iron & Steel Co. (x teams produce 10x tons of iron ore per day.)
Answer:
$200 to produce 10x ton of iron ore
Explanation:
The cost for one day to produce 10x tons of iron ore is calculated as follows.
1 miner and 1 mucker work together to make 10x ton of iron ore where,
1 miners wage = $110
1 mucker wage = $90
This makes a total of $200 to produce 10x ton of iron ore.
The costs in the long run will remain same because the wages are fixed if the wages are negotiable or varies then in the long run the cost function can differ.
A firm can lease a truck for 5 years at a cost of $49,000 annually. It can instead buy a truck at a cost of $99,000, with annual maintenance expenses of $29,000. The truck will be sold at the end of 5 years for $39,000. a. What is the equivalent annual cost of buying and maintaining the truck if the discount rate is 12%
Answer:
Leasing or Buying a Truck:
The equivalent annual cost of buying and maintaining the truck (if the discount rate is 12%) is:
= $50,328
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Interest rate = 6% per year
Lease Purchase
Initial Cost $99,000
Annual Cost $49,000 $29,000
Salvage Value $39,000
Useful Life (years) 5 5
Annuity factor = 3.605 for 5 years at 12%.
Present value factor = 0.567 for 5 years at 12%.
Lease Purchase
Present value of costs:
Initial cost $99,000 (1 * $99,000)
Annuity costs $176,645 104,545 (3.605 * $29,000)
PV of salvage value (22,113) (0.567 * $39,000)
NPV cost $176,645 $181,432
The equivalent annual cost:
= Total NPV cost/PV annuity factor
($176,645/3.605) ($181,432/3.605)
Equivalent annual cost $49,000 $50,328
Difference:
Purchase = $50,328
Lease = $49,000
Difference = $1,328

Answer:
C. Interest Expense 805
Bond discount 42
Cash 847
Explanation:
The interest expense is calculated based on effective interest rate. The issue price is 10,018 which is the actual price and with effective interest rate interest amount is determined. The interest expense has cash value and bond discount.
10,018 * 8% = 804.45 approximately 805.
As a result of a thorough physical inventory, Sheridan Company determined that it had inventory worth $320800 at December 31, 2020. This count did not take into consideration the following facts: Herschel Consignment currently has goods worth $46300 on its sales floor that belong to Sheridan but are being sold on consignment by Herschel. The selling price of these goods is $74900. Sheridan purchased $22000 of goods that were shipped on December 27, FOB destination, that will be received by Sheridan on January 3. Determine the correct amount of inventory that Sheridan should report.
Answer:
Sheridan Company
The correct amount of inventory that Sheridan should report is:
= $367,100
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
December 31 Inventory based on physical inventory = $320,800
Goods held on consignment by Herschel = 46,300
December 27, FOB destination goods ($22,000) 0
Correct amount of inventory that Sheridan should report $367,100
b) Goods on consignment are generally the property of the consignor (supplier) and not the consignee's (retailer's). Therefore, they must appear in the balance sheet of the consignor. Goods on FOB destination remain the property of the supplier until they reach the buyer's destination. This is why it is not included above.

An investor thought that market interest rates were going to decline. He paid $19,000 for a corporate bond with a face value of $20,000. The bond has an interest rate of 10% per year payable annually. If the investor plans to sell the bond immediately after receiving the 4th interest payment, how much will he have to receive in order to make a return of 14% per year? Solve using:
a. tabulated factors
b. the GOAL SEEK tool on a spreadsheet.
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
a. In this part, we need to calculate the present worth using the formula to calculate the sale price of the bond.
As the coupon rate = 10% per year
So,
The Annual dividend will = 2000 = 10% x 20,000
19000 = 2000 (P/A, 14%,4) + B(P/F,14%,4)
19000 = 2000 (2.9137) + B (0.592)
Solving for B = Desired sales price of the bond
B = [tex]\frac{19000 - 5827.4}{0.592}[/tex]
B = 22251
b. Part b of this question is to solve using GOAL SEEK feature of a spreadsheet so, I have attached it in the attachment. Please refer to the attachment for the solution of part b.
You and your friends want to buy a condo at the beach to time share. Each of you has single peaked preferences with a most preferred value that you are willing to spend. These values are: Mabel, $10,000; Gertrude, $20,000; Myron, $30,000; Wilber, $40,000; and you, $50,000. The condo costs $150,000. Explain how to implement a uniform rule mechanism to allocate costs and shares.
Answer:
Individual Cost Shares to be enjoyed
Mabel $10,000 10000 / 150000 = 6.67%
Gertrude $20000 20000 / 150000 = 13.3%
Myron $30000 30000 / 150000 = 20%
Wilber $40000 40000 / 150000 = 26.6%
You $50000 50000 / 150000 = 33.3%
Explanation:
peaked preferences
Most preferred value to spend :
Mabel = $10,000
Gertrude = $20,000
Myron = $30,000
Wilber = $40,000
you = $50,000
cost of Condo = $150,000
Implementing a Uniform rule mechanism to allocate costs and shares
The uniform rule ; ∑ j∈I Uj (p) = Ω.
where Ω = fixed amount of resource
hence the summation of all allotment should = Ω ( $150,000 )
Number of friends = 5
cost of condo = $150,000
If divide equally each person will have to pay ; $150,000 / 5 = $30,000
Total money to be spent by friends = 10,000 + 20,000 + 30,000 + 40,000 + 50,000 = $150,000
Individual Cost shares to be enjoyed
Mabel $10,000 10000 / 150000 = 6.67∑%
Gertrude $20000 20000 / 150000 = 13.3%
Myron $30000 30000 / 150000 = 20%
Wilber $40000 40000 / 150000 = 26.6%
You $50000 50000 / 150000 = 33.3%
∑shares ≈ 100% ( 150,000 )

Mt Kinley is a strategy consulting firm that divides its consultants into three classes, associates, managers, and partners. The firm has been stable in size for the last 20 years, ignoring growth opportunities in the 90s, but also not suffering from a need to down-size in the recession. Specifically, there have been – and are expected to be – 200 associates, 60 managers, and 20 partners. The work environment at Mt Kinley is rather competitive. After 4 years of working as an associate, a consultant goes "either up or out", i.e. becomes a manager or is dismissed from the company. Similarly, after 6 years a manager either becomes a partner or is dismissed. The company recruits MBAs as associate consultants, no hires are made at the manager or partner level. A partner stays with the company for another 10 years (total of 20 years with the company). How many new MBA graduates does Mt Kinley have to hire every year? What is the probability that an incoming MBA graduate would make partner at Mt Kinley?
Answer:
1. 50 consultants per year
2. 4%
Explanation:
1. Calculation to determine How many new MBA graduates does Mt Kinley have to hire every year
Using this formula
Flow Rate of associates= Inventory / Flow Time
Let plug in the formula
Flow Rate of associates = 200 consultants / 4 years
Flow Rate of associates= 50 consultants per year
Therefore the numbers of MBA graduates that Mt Kinley have to hire every year is 50 consultants per year
2. Calculation to determine the probability that an incoming MBA graduate would make partner at Mt Kinley
First step is to calculate the Flow Rate of managers using this formula
Flow Rate of manager= Inventory / Flow Time
Let plug in the formula
Flow Rate of manager = 60 consultants / 6 years
Flow Rate of manager =10 consultants per year
Second step is to calculate the flow rate of partner using this formula
Flow rate of partner = Inventory/ Flow time
Let plug in the formula
Flow rate of partner = 20/10
Flow rate of partner = 2 partners per year
Third step is to calculate the probability of becoming a manager
Probability (Manager) = 10/50
Probability (Manager) = 20%
Fourth step is to calculate Probability of becoming a partner
Probability (Partner) = 2/10
Probability (Partner) = 20%
Now let calculate the probability that an incoming MBA graduate would make partner at Mt Kinley
Probability of MBA graduate becoming a partner = 20% x 20%
Probability of MBA graduate becoming a partner = 4%
Therefore the probability that an incoming MBA graduate would make partner at Mt Kinley is 4%

Crane Company took a physical inventory on December 31 and determined that goods costing $180,000 were on hand. Not included in the physical count were $20,000 of goods purchased from Nash's Trading Post, LLC, FOB, shipping point, and $20,000 of goods sold to Swifty Corporation for $30,000, FOB destination. Both the Nash purchase and the Swifty sale were in transit at year-end.
Required:
What amount should Crane report as its December 31 inventory?
Answer:
$220,000
Explanation:
Calculation for What amount should Crane report as its December 31 inventory
Using this formula
Ending inventory =Goods costing on hand+Physical count of goods purchased+Goods sold
Let plug in the formula
Ending inventory = $180,000 + $20,000 + $20,000
Ending inventory = $220,000
Therefore the amount that Crane should report as its December 31 inventory is $220,000
Anthony Thomas Candies (ATC) reported the following financial data for 2021 and 2020:
2021 2020
Sales $ 314,000 $ 290,000

Cost of goods sold 140,000 98,000
Gross profit $ 166,000 $ 187,300
The average days inventory for ATC (rounded) for 2021 is: (Round your intermediate calculations to two decimal places. Round your final answer to the nearest whole number.)
A. 171 days.
B. 222 days.
C. 231 days
D. Less than 100 days.
Answer:
D. Less than 100 days
Explanation:
Average days inventory = 365 / Inventory turnover rate
But
Inventory turnover rate = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory
Also,
Average inventory = (Beginning inventory + Ending inventory) / 2
= ($62,000 + $18,000) / 2
= $40,000
Inventory turnover rate = $201,000 / $40,000 = 5.025
Average days inventory = 365 / 5.025 = 72.64 days

A municipal power plant uses natural gas from an existing pipeline at an annual cost of $10,000 per year. A new pipeline would initially cost $35,000, but it would reduce the annual cost to $4000 per year. Assume an analysis period of 20 years and no salvage value for either pipeline. The interest rate is 7%. Using the equivalent uniform annual cost (EUAC), should the new pipeline be built
Answer: EUAC of new pipeline of $7,303.75 is less than the $10,000 of old pipeline so new pipeline should be built.
Explanation:
Equivalent Uniform Annual cost can be calculated as:
= Reduction in annual cost + (Initial Cost/ Present value interest factor of annuity, 7%, 20 years)
= 4,000 + (35,000 / 10.5940)
= 4,000 + 3,303.75
= $7,303.75
Chen Company's Small Motor Division manufactures a number of small motors used in household and office appliances. The Household Division of Chen then assembles and packages such items as blenders and juicers. Both divisions are free to buy and sell any of their components internally or externally. The following costs relate to small motor LN233 on a per unit basis.
Fixed cost per unit $5.20
Variable cost per unit $10.81
Selling price per unit $34.55
Assuming that the Small Motor Division has excess capacity, compute the minimum acceptable price for the transfer of small motor LN233 to the Household Division. (Round answer to 2 decimal places.)
Minimum transfer price $ per unit
Assuming that the Small Motor Division does not have excess capacity, compute the minimum acceptable price for the transfer of the small motor to the Household Division. (Round answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
1. If the small motor division has excess capacity,
Minimum transfer price = Variable cost + Opportunity cost
Variable cost per unit = $10.81
Add:
Opportunity cost per unit = $0.00 (Because the company has sufficient excess capacity)
Minimum transfer price = $10.81
2. If the small motor division has excess capacity,
Minimum transfer price = Variable cost + Opportunity cost
Variable cost per unit = $10.81
Add:
Opportunity cost per unit = $23.74 (As the company has no excess capacity, contribution lost is the opportunity cost)
Minimum transfer price = $34.55
N.B
Contribution lost = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
= $34,55 - $10.8 = $23.74
This morning, you purchased a seventeen-year, 6.45% annual coupon bond with face value of $1,000 at a price of $1,030.04. Just after purchasing the bond, the yield to maturity of the bond falls to 5.50 percent and stays at that level throughout your investment period. If you sell your bond after holding it for seven years, what will be your realized rate of return
Answer:
6.73%
Explanation:
the price of the bond in seven years is:
PV = $1,000 / (1 + 5.50%)¹⁰ = $585.43
PV of coupon payments = $64.50 x 7.538 (PVIFA, 5.5%, 10 years) = $486.20
market price = $1,071.63
using an excel spreadsheet of financial calculator, the annual rate of return:
year 0 = -1030.04
year 1 = 64.5
year 2 = 64.5
year 3 = 64.5
year 4 = 64.5
year 5 = 64.5
year 6 = 64.5
year 7 = 1136.13
IRR = 6.73%

Item 5 Required information Skip to question Current Time 0:00 / Duration 6:35 1x The Science Institute has three departments: Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. The institute's controller wants to estimate the cost of operating each department. He has identified several indirect costs that must be allocated to each department including $43,000 of indirect salaries, $4,500 of office supplies, and $36,500 of office rent. There are 500 students in the biology department, 200 in chemistry and 300 in physics (1,000 total students as the allocation base). The amount of cost that should be allocated to the Chemistry Department is
Answer:
$16,800
Explanation:
Calculation to determine The amount of cost that should be allocated to the Chemistry Department is
First step is to calculate the Cost to be allocated
Cost to be allocated = $43,000 + $4,500 + $36,500
Cost to be allocated= $84,000
Second step is to calculate the Allocation base
Allocation base = 500 + 200 + 300
Allocation base = 1,000 total students
Third step is to calculate the Allocation rate using this formula
Allocation rate = Cost to be allocated ÷
Allocation base
Let plug in the formula
Allocation rate= $84,000 ÷ 1,000
Allocation rate = $84 per student
Now let calculate the Allocation to Chemistry Department
Allocation to Chemistry Department = $84 per student x 200
Allocation to Chemistry Department = $16,800
Therefore The amount of cost that should be allocated to the Chemistry Department is $16,800
The management of Wheeler Company has decided to develop cost formulas for its major overhead activities. Wheeler uses a highly automated manufacturing process, and power costs are a significant manufacturing cost. Cost analysts have decided that power costs are mixed. The costs must be broken into their fixed and variable elements so that the cost behavior of the power usage activity can be properly described. Machine hours have been selected as the activity driver for power costs. The following data for the past eight quarters have been collected:
Quarter Machine Hours Power cost
1 20000 26000
2 25000 38000
3 30000 42500
4 22000 37000
5 21000 34000
6 18000 29000
7 24000 36000
8 28000 40000
1. Prepare a scattergraph by plotting power costs against machine hours. Does the scattergraph show a near relationship between machine hours and power cost?
2. Using the high and low points (i.e., the high-low method), compute a power cost formula.
3. Use the method of least squares to compute a power cost formula. Evaluate the coefficient of determination.
Answer:
Explanation:
1-a See the attached photo for the a scattergraph.
1-b. Yes, the scattergraph show a near relationship between machine hours and power cost.
2. The power cost formula using the high and low points is as follows:
Total power cost = -7000 + (1.65 * Machine hours)
3-a. The power cost formula using the method of least squares is as follows:
Total power cost = 6454 + (1.21 * Machine hours)
3-b. R² = Coefficient of determination = 0.8969, or 89.69%
Explanation
1-a. Prepare a scattergraph by plotting power costs against machine hours.
Note: See the attached photo for the a scattergraph by plotting power costs against machine hours.
1-b. Does the scattergraph show a near relationship between machine hours and power cost?
Note that Scattergraph is interpreted by looking by looking for trends in the data as there is movement from left to right.
From the attached a scattergraph, it can be observed that there is an uphill pattern as there is a movement from left to right. This indicates that there a near positive relationship between power costs against machine hours.
Therefore, the scattergraph show a near relationship between machine hours and power cost.
2. Using the high and low points (i.e., the high-low method), compute a power cost formula.
2-a. Calculation of variable cost elements
Variable cost per machine hour = (Highest Power Costs - Lowest Power Costs) / (Highest machine hours – Lowest machine hours) = (42500 - 26000) / (30000 - 20000) = 1.65 per hour
2-b. Calculation of fixed cost elements
Total power cost = Total Fixed Cost + Total Variable Cost ................. (1)
Where;
Total Variable Cost = Variable cost per machine hour * Machine hours ……….. (2)
Substitute equation (2) into equation (1), we have:
Total power cost = Total Fixed Cost + (Variable cost per machine hour * Machine hours) ……………………. (3)
Using highest machine hours and substitute relevant values into equation (3), we have:
42500 = Total Fixed Cost + (1.65 * 3000)
42500 = Total Fixed Cost + 49,500
Total Fixed Cost = 42500 - 49,500
Total Fixed Cost = -7000
2-c Computation of a power cost formula
Substituting Variable cost per machine hour = 1.65 and Total Fixed Cost = -7000 into equation (3), we can compute the power cost formula as follows:
Total power cost = -7000 + (1.65 * Machine hours) ………………. (4)
Equation is the power cost formula.
3. Use the method of least squares to compute a power cost formula. Evaluate the coefficient of determination.
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculations of Total of Machine Hours (x), Power cost (y), xy, x^2, and y^2.
Since Σ = Total of or summation of, we can therefore obtain the following from the attached excel file:
Σx = 190,800
Σy = 282,500
Σxy = 6,878,400,000
Σx² = 4,666,540,000
Σy² = 10,188,250,000
N = Number of quarters = 8
3-a. Use the method of least squares to compute a power cost formula
Step 1: Calculation of variable cost per rental return
To calculate the variable power cost per machine hour, the following formula is used:
Variable power cost per machine hour = (NΣxy − ΣxΣy) /((NΣx²) − (Σx)²) ……………… (5)
= (Σxy – (1/8)ΣxΣy) /((Σx²) – (1/8)(Σx)²)
=(6,878,400,000 – ((1/8) * 190,800 * 282,500)) / (4,666,540,000 – ((1/8) * 190,800²))
Substituting the relevant values into equation (5), we have:
Variable cost per rental return = ((8 * 6,878,400,000) - (190,800 * 282,500)) /((8 * 4,666,540,000) - 190,800²)
Variable power cost per machine hour = 1.21
Step 2: Calculation of quarterly fixed power cost
This can be calculated using the following formula:
Fixed Cost per quarter = {Σy - (Variable power cost per machine hour * Σx) / N ....... (6)
Substituting the relevant values into equation (6), we have:
Fixed Cost per quarter = (282,500 - (1.21 * 190,800)) / 8
Fixed Cost per quarter = 6,454
Step 3: Computation of the power cost formula
Substituting Variable cost per machine hour = 1.21 and Total Fixed Cost = 6,454 into equation (3) in part 2 above, we can compute the power cost formula as follows:
Total power cost = 6454 + (1.21 * Machine hours) ………………. (4)
Equation (4) is the power cost formula.
3-b. Evaluate the coefficient of determination.
This can be evaluated using the following formula:
R² = Coefficient of determination = (NΣxy – ΣxΣy) / ((NΣx² - (Σx)²) * (NΣy² - (Σy)²))^0.5 ……….. (5)
Substituting the relevant values into equation (5) we have:
R² = ((8 * 6,878,400,000) – (190,800 * 282,500)) / (((8 * 4,666,540,000) – 190.800²) * ((8 * 10,188,250,000) – 282,500²))^0.5
R² = 0.8969, or 89.69%

Sheffield Corp. thinks machine hours is the best activity base for its manufacturing overhead. The estimate of annual overhead costs for its jobs was $2850000. The company used 1000 hours of processing on Job No. B12 during the period and incurred overhead costs totaling $2900000. The budgeted machine hours for the year totaled 20000. How much overhead should be applied to Job No. B12
Answer:
the overhead applied is $142,500
Explanation:
The computation of the overhead applied is shown below:
= Estimated annual overhead cost ÷ budgeted machine hours × used hours
= $2,850,000 ÷ 20,000 machine hours × 1,000 hours
= $142,500
Hence, the overhead applied is $142,500
We simply applied the above formula
To purchase a used automobile, you borrow $10,000 from Loan Shark Enterprises. They tell you the interest rate is 1% per month for 35 months. They also charge you $200 for a credit investigation, so you leave with $9,800 in your pocket. The monthly payment they calculated for you is $385.71/month.
If you agree to these terms and sign their contract, what is the actual APR (annual percentage rate) that you are paying?
Answer:
The actual APR (annual percentage rate) that you are paying is 12.69%.
Explanation:
The actual annual percentage rate (APR) can be calculated using the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) formula as
follows:
APR = (((Fees + Interest accrued) / Principal / n) * Number of months in a year) * 100 ……………… (1)
Where;
APR = ?
Fees = Credit investigation charged = $200
Principal = Amount borrowed = $10,000
Total accrued amount = Principal * (1 + (Monthly interest rate * Number of months of loan tenure)) = $10,000 * (1 + (1% * 35)) = $13,500
Interest accrued = Total accrued amount - Principal = $13,500 - $10,000 =$3,500
n = Number of months of loan term = 35
Number of months in a year = 12
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
APR = (((200 + 3500) / 10000 / 35) * 12) * 100
APR = 12.69%
Therefore, the actual APR (annual percentage rate) that you are paying is 12.69%.

This year, Amy purchased $1,900 of equipment for use in her business. However, the machine was damaged in a traffic accident while Amy was transporting the equipment to her business. Note that because Amy did not place the equipment into service during the year, she does not claim any depreciation or cost recovery expense for the equipment. Problem 9-57 Part-a (Algo) a. After the accident, Amy had the choice of repairing the equipment for $2,260 or selling the equipment to a junk shop for $620. Amy sold the equipment. What amount can Amy deduct for the loss of the equipment
Answer:
For the complete destruction of a business asset, Amy can claim a casualty loss deduction for the tax basis of the machine less any recovery. Hence, Amy can claim a casualty deduction for $1,700 ($2,000-$300)b.
For partial destruction of a business asset, Amy can claim a casualty loss deduction for the lesser of the economic loss (the cost of repair) or the tax basis of the machine. In this case, Amy can deduct $800
