Answer:
$8
b
Explanation:
Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.
Consumer surplus = willingness to pay – price of the good
Consumer surplus = willingness to pay per scarf - price per scarf
willingness to pay per scarf = $200 / 10 = $20
price per scarf = 12
$20 - $12 = $8
A rational consumer would stop purchasing at the point where marginal benefit is less than marginal cost .
Because he has 10 friends he wants to give the gift to, buying an extra scarf would yield no benefit to him
Nancy, the owner of a very successful hotel chain in the Southeast, is exploring the possibility of expanding the chain into a city in the Northeast. She incurs $35,000 of expenses associated with this investigation. Based on the regulatory environment for hotels in the city, she decides not to expand. During the year, she also investigates opening a restaurant that will be part of a national restaurant chain. Her expenses for this are $53,000. The restaurant begins operations on September 1.
Determine the amount Nancy can deduct in the current year for investigating these two businesses.
Answer:
$3,133.
As regard to opening a restaurant, investigation expense = 53,000 - 2000 = $51,000.
Explanation:
Before diving straight into the solution to this problem, let's take out some of the parameters given in the question above.
=> Nancy incurs $35,000 of expenses associated with the investigation of the possibility of expanding the chain into a city in the Northeast.
=> Nancy expenses for investigates opening a restaurant that will be part of a national restaurant chain are $53,000.
The first thing to do right now is to determine the value for the investigation as regard to the opening of a restaurant = [ 2000 × (51,000/180 months) × 4] = $3,133.
The next thing is to determine the value for the deduction which is available. This can be done below as:
The amount Nancy can deduct in the current year for investigating these two businesses = 5000 - [ 53000 - 50000] = $2, 000
As regard to opening a restaurant, investigation expense = 53,000 - 2000 = $51,000.

Statute of frauds is used as a defense to a lawsuit and not as an offense. For example, S owns a lot that B wishes to purchase. They enter into a verbal contract whereby B will deliver $6,000 at noon on Friday to S, and S will provide B with the deed to the property. If either party breaches the contract for the sale of the real estate lot and is sued by the other party, the defendant may raise statute of frauds as a defense, saying that there is nothing in writing or signed by the defendant.
Required:
What is the result?
Answer:
Since both parties can breach the contract without fearing any penalty as a result of doing it, its execution will depend on the good will of both parties. It will also require a coordinated action where B hands out the money at the same time they are receiving the deed. If both things do not occur simultaneously, for example, S promises to deliver the deed the next day or B promises to pay the next day, they will not do it. For example, B pays the $5,000 and S decides to increase the price to $10,000. Or S gives the deed and B says that the agreed price was $1,000.
Windsor, Inc. just began business and made the following four inventory purchases in June:
June 1 129 units $890 June 10 172 units 1340 June 15 172 units 1440 June 28 129 units 1140 $4810
A physical count of merchandise inventory (rounded to whole dollar) on June 30 reveals that there are 180 units on hand. The inventory method which results in the highest gross profit for June is:_______.
a. the FIFO method.
b. the LIFO method.
c. the average cost method.
d. not determinable.
Answer:
c. the average cost method.
Explanation:
Windsor INC. purchased inventory during the month of June as follows:
June 1 129 units at $890
June 10 172 units at $1340
June 15 172 units at $1440
June 28 129 units at $ 1140
and at the end of the period, there are 180 units on hand.
In order to get highest gross profit the closing sock should be the highest, accordingly the value of inventory at hand should as as follows under different method explain below:
Under FIFO method the inventory first enter into the enterprise is available for sale at first so the inventory of 180 units at end should be values at the last price mentioned in the question i.e $1140, therefore the value amounts to $1140*180 units=$205200
Under LIFO method, likewise the last entered inventory will be available for sale and the inventory at the end of period will be valued at the price at which the inventory first bought i.e $890, therefore the value amounts to 180 units*$890=$160200
Under Average cost method the effect of differential price is distributed over the quantity bough during a period so that the company remains in ineffective condition during the period from the price change
Average cost per unit= (129*$890 +172*$1340+ 172*$1440+129*$1140)/602 units
=$1229.29
and for the 180 units the value amounts to 180*$122.29=$221271.429
so, as per explanation given above, it is certain that the highest value will be in average cost method.
The correct option is - c. the average cost method.

Litton Company estimates that the factory overhead for the following year will be $1,250,000. The company has decided that the basis for applying factory overhead should be machine hours, which is estimated to be 40,000 hours. The machine hours for the month of April for all of the jobs were 4,780. If the actual factory overhead totaled $141,800, determine the over- or underapplied amount for the month.
Answer:
Overapplied overhead= $7,575
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= 1,250,000 / 40,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $31.25 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 31.25*4,780
Allocated MOH= $149,375
Finally, the over/under allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 141,800 - 149,375
Overapplied overhead= $7,575
Find the sum of the series 2 + 5 + 8 + ... + 182
Answer:
first term(a)=2
common diff.(d)=5-2=3
lqst term(l)=182
sum of terms (sn)=?
Explanation:
we have,
l=a+(n-1)d
182=2+(n-1)×3
182-2=3n-3
180=3n-3
180-3=3n
177=3n
177÷3=n
59=n
n=59

Answer the below case problem, giving the legal issue, the governing law and the rationale in support of your conclusion.
Arthur Jensen, Inc., was a corporation engaged in the housing construction business.
Arthur Jensen set up and was the sole owner and president of the corporation. Alaska Valuation Service [AVS] conducted housing appraisals for Jensen on numerous occasions over the years. When AVS took the orders for appraisals, it was not aware that it was dealing with a corporation. It believed that it was dealing directly with Jensen [i.e., as a sole proprietor]. Jensen never specifically informed AVS of his status as the president of Arthur Jensen, Inc. When AVS was not paid for appraisal services that it had performed, AVS sued Arthur Jensen, attempting to hold him personally liable for the unpaid appraisals.
Arthur Jensen argued that he could not be personally liable because he had acted on behalf of his corporation.
1. Decide the case based on the above stated facts.
2. Assuming Arthur Jensen could be held personally liable, how could Arthur
Jensen have better protected himself? [we discussed this in class]
Answer:
1. Decide the case based on the above stated facts.
Corporations provide limited liability to their owners, and one person corporations are legal in all states. Depending on how Arthur handled his business, the corporate veil might or not be lifted. If he separated the corporate account and managed the corporation separately for his other assets, then he is not liable.
On the other hand, if he paid the bills using his personal account, or used the corporation's assets as his own, then the outcome might change. We are not given enough details.
2. Assuming Arthur Jensen could be held personally liable, how could Arthur Jensen have better protected himself?
Simple, he should sign as the president of the corporation and pay using the corporation's account.

LUVFINANCE, Inc. is estimating its WACC. It is operating at its optimal capital structure. Its outstanding bonds have a 12 percent coupon, paid semiannually, a current maturity of 17 years, and sell for $1,162. It has 100,000 bonds outstanding. The firm can issue new 20-year maturity semiannual bonds at par but will incur flotation costs of $50 per bond. The firm could sell, at par, $100 preferred stock that pays a 12 percent annual dividend that is currently selling for $120. The firm currently has 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding. Rollins' beta is 0.94, the risk-free rate is 3.72 percent, and the market risk premium is 6 percent. The common stock currently sells for $100 a share and there are 5,000,000 shares outstanding. The firm's marginal tax rate is 40 percent.
Required:
What is the WACC?
Solution :
Given :
The cost of the debt is yield to the maturity of the bonds.
The yield on the bond is 10%
The tax rate is 40%
After the tax cost of the debt = 10 ( 1- 0.4 )
= 6 %
Add floatation cost at the rate of 5% = 11%
Cost of the preferred stock = [tex]$\frac{\text{dividend}}{\text{price}}$[/tex]
= [tex]$\frac{120}{12}$[/tex] = 10%
The cost of equity = risk free rate + β x market risk premium
= 3.72 + 0.94 x 6
= 9.36%
WACC is weighted average of the individual securities :
Particulars Value per No. of Market value Weight Cost of Product
security securities security
Bonds 1162 100,000 116,200,000 0.1578 11 1.73621298

Diz Co. is a U.S.-based MNC with net cash inflows of euros and net cash inflows of Swiss francs. These two currencies are highly correlated in their movements against the dollar. Yanta Co. is a U.S.-based MNC that has the same level of net cash flows in these currencies as Diz Co. except that its euros represent net cash outflows. Yanta Co has a higher exposure to exchange rate risk than Diz Co.
Required:
Which firm has a higher exposure to exchange rate risk? Why?
Answer:
Yanta Co. has a higher exposure to exchange rate risk than Diz Co.
The reason is that Yanta Co. does not have net inflows of euros. Instead, its euro transactions yield net outflows.
It will always be in need of euros to settle its foreign debts or obligations, unlike Diz Co. with foreign assets.
Explanation:
a) Data and Analysis:
Diz Co. has net cash inflows of euros and net cash inflows of swiss francs
Yanta Co. has net cash outflows of euros and net cash inflows of swiss francs
b) Exposure to exchange rate risk or currency risk is the financial risk arising from fluctuations in the value of the US dollars against the Euro or Swiss Francs in which Diz Co. has some foreign assets while Yanta Co. has foreign obligations.

Leslie's Unique Clothing Stores offers a common stock that pays an annual dividend of $3.00 a share. The company has promised to maintain a constant dividend. How much are you willing to pay for one share of this stock if you want to earn a return of 15.80 percent on your equity investments
Answer:
You are willing to pay $18.99 for one share of this stock.
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the following formula:
P = d / r .............................. (1)
Where;
P = price per share = ?
d = annual dividend per share = $3.00
r = equity investments return = 15.80%, or 0.1580
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
P = $3.00 / 0.1580
P = $18.99
Therefore, you willing to pay $18.99 for one share of this stock.
Problem 8-15 Nonconstant Growth [LO1] Metallica Bearings, Inc., is a young start-up company. No dividends will be paid on the stock over the next nine years because the firm needs to plow back its earnings to fuel growth. The company will pay a dividend of $15 per share 10 years from today and will increase the dividend by 6 percent per year thereafter. If the required return on this stock is 12 percent, what is the current share price
Answer:
$84.14
Explanation:
P9 = Nest dividend (D10) / Required rate (r) - Growth rate (g)
P9 = $14 / 12% - 6%
P9 = $14 / 0.06
P9 = $233.33
P0 = P9 / (1+Required rate of return)^9
P0 = $233.33/(1+0.12)^9
P0 = $233.33/2.7731
P0 = $84.1404926

Information concerning a product produced by Ender Company appears here: Sales price per unit $ 164 Variable cost per unit $ 94 Total annual fixed manufacturing and operating costs $ 434,000 Required Determine the following: Contribution margin per unit. Number of units that Ender must sell to break even. Sales level in units that Ender must reach to earn a profit of $182,000. Determine the margin of safety in units, sales dollars, and as a percentage.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the unitary contribution margin, we need to use the following formula:
Contribution margin= selling price - unitary variable cost
Contribution margin= 164 - 94
Contribution margin= $70
Now, to determine the break-even point in units and sales dollars, we need to use the following formulas:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 434,000 / 70
Break-even point in units= 6,200
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 434,000 / (70 / 164)
Break-even point (dollars)= $1,016,800
The desired profit is $182,000:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (434,000 + 182,000) / 70
Break-even point in units= 8,800
Finally, the margin of safety in units, sales dollars, and as a percentage:
Margin of safety (units)= (current sales level - break-even point)
Margin of safety (units)= 8,800 - 6,200
Margin of safety (units)= 2,600
Margin of safety (dollars)= (8,800*164) - 1,016,800
Margin of safety (dollars)= $426,400
Margin of safety ratio= (current sales level - break-even point)/current sales level
Margin of safety ratio= 426,400 / 1,443,200
Margin of safety ratio= 0.295

A privately owned summer camp for youngsters has the following data for a 12-week session: Charge per camper Fixed costs Variable cost per camper Capacity $480 per week $192,000 per session $320 per week 200campers (a) Develop the mathematical relationships for total cost and total revenue. (b) What is the total number of campers that will allow the camp to just break even
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed costs= $192,000
Unitary variable cost= $320 per week
Selling price per unit= $480 per week
To calculate the total cost, we need to use the following formula:
Total cost= fixed costs + unitary variable cost*number of units
Total cost= 192,000 + 320*number of weeks
Now, the total revenue:
Total revenue= selling price per week*Number of weeks
Total revenue= 480*x
Finally, the break-even point in units:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 192,000 / (480 - 320)
Break-even point in units= 1,200 campers
