Answer:
There is not enough information in this question, but I can explain the concept using an example. Good A sells for $150. Producer surplus = $50 and consumer surplus = $40.
The minimum selling price in this example would be $100, where producer surplus = $0.
Explanation:
Producer surplus refers to the difference between the minimum price that a supplier is willing to sell its goods or services versus the actual selling price of the goods or services. E.g. a producer could be willing to sell its goods at $100, but the selling price is $150, so producer surplus = $50
Consumer surplus refers to the difference between the maximum price a consumer is willing to pay for a good or service and the actual price of the good or service. E.g. a consumer is willing to pay $190 for a good but its selling price is $150, so consumer surplus = $40.

Answer the question on the basis of the given consolidated balance sheet of the commercial banking system. Assume that the reserve requirement is 20 percent. All figures are in billions.
Assets Liabilities & Net Worth
Reserves $200 Checkable Deposits $1,000
Securities 300 Stock Shares 400
Loans 500
Property 400
If the Fed increased the reserve requirement from 20 percent to 25 percent, a deficiency of reserves in the commercial banking system of _____ would occur and the monetary multiplier would fall to ____.
a. $50 billion; 5
b. $10 billion; 4
c. $50 billion; 4
d. $10 billion; 8
Answer:
If the Fed increased the reserve requirement from 20 percent to 25 percent, a deficiency of reserves in the commercial banking system of $50 billion would occur and the monetary multiplier would fall to 4. The right answer is c
Explanation:
In order to calculate the deficiency of reserves in the commercial banking system we would have to make the following calculation:
deficiency of reserves in the commercial banking system=New Reserves- Reserves
Reserves=Checkable Deposits*reserve requirement
Reserves=$1,000*20%
Reserves=$200 billion
New Reserves=Checkable Deposits*reserve requirement increase
New Reserves=$1,000*25%
New Reserves=$250 billion
Therefore, deficiency of reserves in the commercial banking system=$250 billion-$200 billion
deficiency of reserves in the commercial banking system= $50 billion
To calculate the monetary multiplier we would have to make the following calculation:
monetary multiplier=1/new reserve ratio
monetary multiplier=1/0.25
monetary multiplier=4
Therefore, If the Fed increased the reserve requirement from 20 percent to 25 percent, a deficiency of reserves in the commercial banking system of $50 billion would occur and the monetary multiplier would fall to 4

Suppose a farmer is expecting that her crop of oranges will be ready for harvest and sale as 150,000150,000 pounds of orange juice in 33 months time. Suppose each orange juice futures contract is for 15,00015,000 pounds of orange juice, and the current futures price is F_0 = 118.65F 0 =118.65 cents-per-pound. Assuming that the farmer has enough cash liquidity to fund any margin calls, what is the risk-free price that she can guarantee herself. Please submit your answer in cents-per-pound rounded to two decimal places. So for example, if your answer is 123.456123.456, then you should submit an answer of 123.47123.47. 1 point
Answer:
121.30
Explanation:
The future price guarantees the holder of the contract to trade a commodity at a predetermined price at a later date. The farmer has orange crops ready for sale amounting $150,000. The number of contracts required is 150,000 / 15,000 = 10 contracts.
The spot price is 118.65 cents per pound. The risk free price is the value at which farmer has agreed to sell its crops. The risk free future price will be (1 + spot price)^-time * number of contracts / time
= (1 + 118.65)^-33 * 10 / 33
= 121.30
The I-75 Carpet Discount Store in North Georgia stocks carpet in its warehouse and sells it through an adjoining showroom. The store keeps several brands and styles of carpet in stock; however, it s biggest seller is Super Shag carpet. The store wants to determine the optimal order size and total cost for this brand of carpet given an estimated annual demand of 10,000 yards of carpet, an annual carrying cost of $0.75 per yard, and an ordering cost of $150. The store would also like to know the number of orders that will be made annually and the time between orders (i.e, the order cycle) given that the store is open 311 days annually. (a) Calculate the economic order quantity (EOQ) (namely how many orders to place very year in order to minimize total cost?) (b) The total annual inventory cost based on the optimal order quantity calculated from (a), (c) Calculate the number of order per year and the time between orders (i.e., the order cycle.
Answer:
The I-75 Carpet Discount Store
a) Calculation of the economic order quantity (EOQ)
EOQ = the square root of (2 x annual demand x Ordering costs) /Holding cost
EOQ = square root of (2 x 10,000 x $150) / $7,500 = 20
Where Demand (D) = 10,000 yards
Ordering costs (S) = $150
Carrying or Holding cost = $7,500 ($0.75 x 10,000)
Therefore, the EOQ = square root of (2 x 10,000 x $150) / $7,500 = 20
b) The total annual inventory cost based on the optimal order quantity:
=TC = PC + OC + HC
= (10,000 x unit cost (p) + $150 x 10,000/20 + $0.75 x 10,000)
= 10,000p + $75,000 + $7,500
= 10,000p + $82,500
c1) Calculation of the number of order per year:
Number of order per year = Annual Demand / EOQ = 10,000/20 = 500
c2) Calculation of the time between orders or the order cycle
= Annual Demand / EOQ per year = 500/311 = 1.61 days or 2 days.
Explanation:
a) EOQ = the square root of (2 x annual demand x Ordering costs) /Holding cost
EOQ = square root of (2 x 10,000 x $150) / $7,500 = 20
b) The total annual inventory cost based on the optimal order quantity:
=TC = PC + OC + HC,
where TC is the Total Cost;
PC is Purchase Cost;
OC is Ordering Cost; and
HC is Holding Cost
= (10,000 x unit cost (p) + $150 x 10,000/20 + $0.75 x 10,000)
= 10,000p + $75,000 + $7,500
= 10,000p + $82,500
c1) Calculation of the number of order per year:
Number of order per year = Annual Demand / EOQ = 10,000/20 = 500
c2) Calculation of the time between orders or the order cycle = Annual Demand / EOQ per year = 500/311 = 1.61 days or 2 days.
d) The total cost of inventory is the sum of the purchase, ordering and holding costs.
e) Order cycles per year are calculated by dividing the annual demand D by the order quantity Qo. An order cycle is the amount of time between when an order is placed and when the next order after it is placed.
f) EOQ (Economic Order Quantity) calculates the order quantity that minimizes costs. It is also called the optimal order quantity.
The balance in Discount on Bonds Payable
a. would be added to the related bonds payable to determine the carrying amount of the bonds.
b. would be subtracted from the related bonds payable on the balance sheet.
c. should be reported on the balance sheet as an asset because it has a debit balance.
d. should be allocated to the remaining periods for the life of the bonds by the straight-line method, if the results obtained by that method materially differ from the results that would be obtained by the interest method.
Answer:
b. would be subtracted from the related bonds payable on the balance sheet.
Explanation:
A bond is a fixed income instrument that represents the indebtedness of the borrower to the investor or creditor (bond issuer). They're basically loans that are given to large organizations or government.
This ultimately implies that, when an investor or creditor purchases a bond, an agreed amount of money is being borrowed to the issuer as a loan. Consequently, the bond issuer is expected to pay an interest with a return of principal at maturity to the holder (investor or creditor) of the bond.
Hence, bonds payable only arises when a company issues bonds so as to generate cash for its business and plans. Thus, the company is a borrower as the bond issuer while the holder of the bond is a debt-holder (investor or creditor). This further would mean that, the company becomes liable to the investor. Therefore, bonds payable should be recorded on the long-term liability side of the balance sheet being used by the company.
Bonds are issued at par or premium or discount and as such bond issuer records the face value of the bond as bonds payable.
Additionally, the balance in discount on bonds payable would be subtracted from the related bonds payable on the balance sheet because it decreases the value of the bonds.

Answer:
Explanation:
The most likely reason for Walmart to support this technology is that it will allow them to track and process items from their suppliers at a much more efficient rate. Since RFID technology uses radio waves to read and capture information stored on a tag attached to an object, providing a unique identifier for an object. These unique tags allow each individual item to be tracked throughout the whole process from supplier to warehouse to client. Thus preventing losses and reducing costs.

True or false: The plantwide overhead rate method uses multiple rates to allocate overhead costs to products.
Answer:
Flase.
Explanation:
The plantwide overhead rate method uses multiple rates to allocate overhead costs to products.
False.
As the name indicates, the plantwide overhead rate uses a single rate to allocate overhead. When the predetermined overhead rate is calculated using the activity base method, you have as many predetermined rates as activities.
To calculate a plant-wide overhead rate, you need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
The December 31, 2018, balance sheet of Whelan, Inc., showed $136,000 in the common stock account and $2,610,000 in the additional paid-in surplus account. The December 31, 2019, balance sheet showed $146,000 and $2,910,000 in the same two accounts, respectively. The company paid out $141,000 in cash dividends during 2019.
Required:
What was the cash flow to stockholders for the year?
Answer:
$169,000 negative
Explanation:
Equity = Common stock + Additional paid in surplus
Total equity at beginning= Common stock + Additional paid in surplus
=136,000+2,610,000=$2,746,000
Total equity at end= Common stock + Additional paid in surplus
=146,000+2,910,00)=$3,056,000
Hence new equity = Total equity at End - Total equity at beginning
3,056,000-2,746,000=$310,000
Cash flow to stockholders = Dividends paid - New equity
= 141,000-310,000
= -169,000

Based on the above data, which of the following is the times- interest- earned ratio? (round the final answer to two decimal places)
A) 6.61 times
B) 4.15 times
C) 5.02 times
D) 4.02 times
Answer:
The times- interest- earned ratio is 6.61 times. The right answer is A.
Explanation:
In order to calculate the times- interest- earned ratio we would have to make the following calculation:
times- interest- earned ratio=Income before interest and taxes/Interest expense
According to given data
Income before interest and taxes=Net Income+Income tax expense +Interest expense
Income before interest and taxes=$265,000+$105,000+$66,000
Income before interest and taxes=$436,000
Therefore, times- interest- earned ratio=$436,000/$66,000

What is the value of total gross investment?
Answer:
$3,521.30
Explanation:
The computation of value of total gross investment is shown below:-
Total gross investment = Business fixed investment + Residential fixed investment + Inventories
= $2,850.0 + $578.0 + $93.3
= $3,521.30
Therefore for computing the total gross investment we simply applied the above formula and ignore all other values as they are not relevant.
Parent Company holds 75 percent of Surrogate Company’s voting common shares. On December 31, 20X8, Parent recorded a loss of $20,000 on the sale of equipment to Surrogate. At the time of the sale, the equipment’s estimated remaining economic life was eight years. Required: a. Will consolidated net income be increased or decreased when consolidation entries associated with the sale of equipment are made at December 31, 20X8? By what amount?
Answer:
Net Increase in Net Income will be $18,125
Explanation:
In simple words, when we consolidate accounts we NEVER take account of inter-company transactions which leads to profits OR losses.
So now we will eliminate the effect of the loss recognized by the parent company and the entry would be as under:
Dr Depreciation for the year At Parent percentage XX
Dr Retained Earnings (Balancing figure) XX
Cr Loss from sale of Equipment XX
The debit balance of depreciation at the parent percentage shows that the equipment is still 75% owned by the parent company. Hence the 75% of the per year depreciation must be recognized for the year.
Increase as the loss is added back to Net Income = $20,000
Less Depreciation for the year At Parent percentage = $20,000/8 * 75%
= ($1,875)
Net Increase in Net Income = $20,000 - $1,875 = $18,125
And Double Entry is as under:
Dr Depreciation for the year At Parent percentage $1,875
Dr Retained Earnings (Balancing Earnings) $18,125
Cr Loss from sale of Equipment $20,000
The depreciation and the loss will be settle in the Cost of Goods Sold in the consolidated income statement.

Assume you are holding a business meeting with five people, each from a different continent (North America, South America, Europe, Africa and Asia), you being one of them. Which steps would you take to ensure that everyone is comfortable and that communication is good between everyone?
Explanation:
Holding a meeting with people from different cultures can be a big challenge, so it is necessary to organize the meeting to ensure that the different approaches and needs of each person are taken into account by the leader who will conduct the business meeting.
It is necessary to think of ideas, decisions and conduct that make all participants comfortable and are not a factor that interferes with the positive flow of the meeting. It is therefore important to develop cultural intelligence, which is an essential skill for leaders of large companies who wish to operate in the globalized market.
Cultural intelligence can be defined as the ability of a person to relate and work between different cultures, adapting and increasingly developing that intelligence (cultural quotient) in motivational, behavioral and metacognitive aspects. Through cultural intelligence it is possible for the individual to get involved efficiently in any environment, in business it is an essential skill for survival in the global market.
Suppose the spot and six-month forward rates on the Norwegian krone are Kr 5.83 and Kr 5.98, respectively. The annual risk-free rate in the United States is 3.63 percent, and the annual risk-free rate in Norway is 5.33 percent.
The six-month forward rate on the Norwegian krone would have to be Kr/$ ........... to prevent arbitrage.
Answer:
The six-month forward rate on the Norwegian krone would have to be Kr/$ 5.93 to prevent arbitrage
Explanation:
In order to calculate the six-month forward rate on the Norwegian krone we would have to calculate the following formula:
six-month forward rate = S (1+id) / (1+if)
According to the given data we have the following:
S=5.83
id=5.33%
if=3.63%
Therefore, six-month forward rate =5.83 (1+5.33%) / (1+3.63%)
six-month forward rate =6.14/1.04 = 5.93
The six-month forward rate on the Norwegian krone would have to be Kr/$ 5.93 to prevent arbitrage
The Dean Company has sales of $500,000, and the break-even point in sales dollars of $300,000. What is the company’s margin of safety percentage? _________________________
Answer:
40%
Explanation:
The Dean company have a sales of $500,000
The break-even point in sales dollar is $300,000
Therefore, the company's margin of safety can be calculated as follows
Margin of safety= Sales-break-even sales/sales
= $500,000-$300,000/$500,000
= $200,000/$500,000
= 0.4×100
= 40%
Hencethe company's margin of safety percentage is 40%
The following data relate to direct labor costs for the current period: Standard costs 7,000 hours at $11.40 Actual costs 6,400 hours at $10.10 What is the direct labor rate variance
Answer:
Direct labor rate variance= $8,320 favorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard costs 7,000 hours at $11.40 Actual costs 6,400 hours at $10.10
To calculate the direct labor rate variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (11.4 - 10.1)*6,400
Direct labor rate variance= $8,320 favorable
