Answer:
A specific trade agreement would be the US - Colombia trade agreement, which was signed on 2006.
Explanation:
This trade agreement reduced 80% of tariffs that used to applied to goods exported from the U.S. to Colombia, and from Colombia to the U.S.
The agreement benefits consumers in both countries because it allows each country to specialize in the production of those goods that they do best, for example, coffee in the case of Colombia, and industrial goods in the case of the United States.
However, because the United States is a much more powerful country, with a higher level of development, consumers in the US have benefited more than Colombian consumers.
Assume that in the short run a firm is producing 500 units of output, has average total costs of $300, and has average variable costs of $220. The firm's total fixed costs are. Select one: a. $40,000. b. $6.25. c. $0.16. d. $80.
Answer:
Total fixed costs= $40,000
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the total variable cost and total cost:
Total cost= 500*300= $150,000
Total variable cost= 500*220= $110,000
Now, we can calculate the total fixed costs:
Total fixed costs= total cost - total variable cost
Total fixed costs= 150,000 - 110,000
Total fixed costs= $40,000
Following is information about consulting jobs for a company that is increasing in sales, but has not yet become profitable. The owner keeps financial records on yellow sticky notes stuck to the wall behind his desk. He has asked you to help him set up a costing system so that he can better understand his costs. The owner said that job 140 was completed, job 141 was started and completed, and job 142 was started this month. Professional labour hours for contracts in process consist of job 140 with 129 hours, job 141 with 258 hours, and job 142 with 137 hours. Professional labour was paid $23,580 for the month, and the professional employees are all paid the same rate per hour. Overhead is allocated using an estimated rate based on professional labour hours. The total cost for job 141 is $32,766. Actual overhead cost for the month was $53,448. What is labour paid per hour? Labour per hour. What is the estimated rate per labour hour used to allocate overhead? per hour. Overhead rate What are the total costs (before adjusting for overapplied or underapplied overhead) for Jobs 141, 142, and 143? Total cost Job 140 Job 141 Job 142 What are the amounts in cost of goods sold and work-in-process at the end of the month? Cost of goods sold Work-in-process What amount of overhead was overapplied or underapplied this month? Overhead If this month is typical, what is a reasonable overhead rate? Reasonable overhead rate per hour
Answer:
Part 1
$82 per professional labor hour
Part 2
Job 141 = $16,383 ,Job 142 = $32,766 , and Job 143 = $17,399
Part 3
Cost of Goods Sold = $49,149
Ending Work In Process Inventory = $17,399
Part 4
Overheads Under- applied = $10,480
Part 5
$102.00 per professional labor hour
Explanation:
Labor Cost per hour = Total Cost ÷ Total hours
= $23,580 ÷ ( 129 + 258 + 137)
= $45.00 per hour
We know that,
Overhead allocation rate = Estimated Overhead Costs ÷ Estimated Professional labor hours
But using Job 141 we can solve as,
Total for Job 141 = $32,766
Less Labor Cost (258 hours × $45.00) = $11,610
Overheads allocated to Job 141 = $21,156
Then,
Overhead allocation rate = $21,156 ÷ 258
= $82 per professional labor hour
Total Costs
Job 140 Job 141 Job 142
Direct Labor $5,805 $11,610 $6,165
Overheads $10,578 $21,156 $11,234
Total Cost $16,383 $32,766 $17,399
Cost of Goods Sold
Note : Only Finished Jobs are accounted in this figure
Total Cost of Job 140 $16,383
Total Cost of Job 141 $32,766
Cost of Goods Sold $49,149
Work In Process Inventory
Note : Only Incomplete Jobs are accounted in this figure
Total Cost of Job 142 $17,399
Application of Overheads
Actual Overheads (given) = $53,448
Applied Overheads ($82 × ( 129 + 258 + 137)) = $42,968
Actual Overheads > Applied Overheads therefore we have an Under-applied situation.
Overheads Under- applied = $10,480 ($53,448 - $42,968)
Reasonable Overhead Rate.
Rate that does not produce variances is reasonable !
Reasonable Overhead Rate. = Actual Overheads ÷ Total Professional Hours
= $53,448 ÷ 524 hours
= $102.00 per professional labor hour

Bradford Services Inc. (BSI) is considering a project that has a cost of $10 million and an expected life of 3 years. There is a 30 percent probability of good conditions, in which case the project will provide a cash flow of $9 million at the end of each year for 3 years. There is a 40 percent probability of medium conditions, in which case the annual cash flows will be $4 million, and there is a 30 percent probability of bad conditions and a cash flow of -$1 million per year. BSI uses a 12 percent cost of capital to evaluate projects like this.
Required:
a. Find the project's expected cash flows and NPV.
b. Now suppose the BSI can abandon the project at the end of the first year by selling it for $6 million. BSI will still receive the Year 1 cash flows, but will receive no cash flows in subsequent years. Assume the salvage value is risky and should be discounted at the WACC.
Answer:
a) expected cash flow per year (same for all 3 years) = (30% x $9 million) + (40% x $4 million) + (30% x -$1 million) = $4 million
initial outlay = $10 million
discount rate = 12%
NPV = -$10 + $4/1.12 + $4/1.12² + $4/1.12³ = -$0.39 million
b) assuming that the project is abandoned at the end of year 1:
NPV = -$10 + $4/1.12 + $6/1.12 = -$1.07 million
Actually things get worse if you decide to sell the project after year 1. The present value of the expected cash flows is higher than the present value of the salvage value.

Inputs :
Opening Balance $127,300
Costs added during the year :
Materials $1,592,280
Labor $225,100
Overhead $ 339,064
Total Costs $2,283,744
Outputs :
Completed and Transferred Out $2,213,640
Ending Work In Process $70,104
Total Costs $2,283,744
Explanation:
First, calculated the number of units completed and transferred to finished goods.
Number of units completed and transferred = Beginning Inventory Units + Units Started during the period - Ending Inventory Units
Number of units completed and transferred = 35,200 units + 661,000 units - 25,400 units
= 670,800 units
Calculation of Equivalent Units of Production with Respect to Raw Materials and Conversion Costs.
1. Materials
Ending Work In Process (25,400 × 100%) = 25,400
Completed and Transferred (670,800 × 100%) = 670,800
Equivalent Units of Production with Respect to Raw Materials = 696,200
2. Conversion Costs
Ending Work In Process (25,400 × 40%) = 10,160
Completed and Transferred (670,800 × 100%) = 670,800
Equivalent Units of Production in Conversion Costs = 680,960
Calculation of Total Unit Cost
Unit Cost = Total Costs ÷ Total Equivalent Units
1. Materials
Unit Cost = ($78,600 + $1,592,280) ÷ 696,200
= $2.40
2. Conversion Costs
Unit Cost = ($48,700 + $225,100 + $339,064 ) ÷ 680,960
= $0.90
3. Total Unit Cost
Total Unit Cost = Materials + Conversion Costs
= $2.40 + $0.90
= $3.30
Calculation of costs assigned to goods transferred out and in process.
Goods transferred out = Units completed and transferred × total unit cost
= 670,800 × $3.30
= $2,213,640
Units in Process = Material Costs + Conversion Cost
= (25,400 × $2.40) + (10,160 × $0.90)
= $70,104
Blossom Corp is issuing a 10-year bond with a coupon rate of 11 percent. The interest rate for similar bonds is currently 7 percent. Assuming annual payments, what is the value of the bond
Answer:
$1,280.94

What liabilities does the business have after all transactions have been recorded?
Liabilities
Answer:
It is very difficult to record T accounts since there is not a lot of room here and things get complicated very easily. So I used an excel spreadsheet to post the accounts on an accounting equation format.
Assets increase when they are debited and they decrease when they are credited. The opposite happens to liabilities and equity, they increase when they are credited and decrease when they are debited. Service revenue is credited, while all expenses are debited.
The reason why the drawings account has a negative balance is that even though it is an equity account, it has a debit balance since it decreases capital.
In order for the equation to balance, you have to close the accounts, but that was not a requirement of the question.
What liabilities does the business have after all transactions have been recorded?
the only liability account is accounts payable with a credit balance of $24,700

Indicate which activities of Stockton Corporation violated the rights of a stockholder who owned one share of common stock.
a. Paid the stockholder a smaller dividend per share than another common stockholder.
b. Did not allow the stockholder to make decisions regarding hiring and firing employees.
c. Rejected the stockholder's request to vote via proxy because she was home sick.
d. The company did not provide all stockholders with timely financial reports.
e. In liquidation, paid the common shareholder after preferred stockholders were already paid.
Answer:
a. Paid the stockholder a smaller dividend per share than another common stockholder.
c. Rejected the stockholder's request to vote via proxy because she was home sick.
d. The company did not provide all stockholders with timely financial reports.
Explanation:
A shareholder is a person that has contributed to the equity of a company and holds shares as evidence of ownership.
Shareholders have right to recieve equal dividend as other common shareholders. There can only be a difference in dividend payouts when the other person has more shares.
They also have the right to vote via proxy in cases where they are not available. The proxy is duly appointed by the shareholder.
The company is also mandated to provide timely financial reports to all stockholders.
Shareholders however are not involved in daily running of the business. So they have no say in hiring and firing of employees.
Also common shareholders are paid dividend after preference share holders have been settled by the company.

Brace Corporation uses direct labor-hours in its predetermined overhead rate. At the beginning of the year, the estimated direct labor-hours were 21,600 hours. At the end of the year, actual direct labor-hours for the year were 20,400 hours, the actual manufacturing overhead for the year was $506,920, and manufacturing overhead for the year was underapplied by $23,440. The estimated manufacturing overhead at the beginning of the year used in the predetermined overhead rate must have been:_________
A. $501,920
B. $531,445
C. $483,480
D. $511,920
Answer:
D. $511,920
Explanation:
For determining the estimated manufaturing overhead first determined the predetermined overhead which is shown below:
= (Actual manufacturing overhead - underapplied overhead) ÷ (actual direct labor hours)
= ($506,920 - $23,440) ÷ (20,400 hours)
= $23.7
Now the estimated manufacturing overhead is
= $23.7 × 21,600 hours
= $511,920
Your firm has taken out a loan with APR (compounded monthly) for some commercial property. As is common in commercial real estate, the loan is a -year loan based on a -year amortization. This means that your loan payments will be calculated as if you will take years to pay off the loan, but you actually must do so in years. To do this, you will make equal payments based on the -year amortization schedule and then make a final 60th payment to pay the remaining balance.
A. What will your monthly payments be?
B. What will your final payment be?
Answer:
Hello some parts of your question is missing below is the complete question
Your firm has taken out a $500000 loan with 9% APR (compounded monthly) for some commercial property. As is common in commercial real estate, the loan is a five-year loan based on a 15-year amortization. This means that your loan payments will be calculated as if you will take 15 years to pay off the loan, but you actually must do so in five years. To do this, you will make 59 equal payments based on the 15 -year amortization schedule and then make a final 60th payment to pay the remaining balance.
answer : A) $5071.33
B ) $405410.94
Explanation:
A )calculate monthly payments
Loan amount = $500000
Rate = 9%
Monthly rate = ( 9% / 12 )= 0.75%
Time / period = (15years* 12 ) = 180 months
calculate the monthly payments =PMT (monthly rate ,period - rate) ( using excel )
= $5071.33
B) Calculate the final payment
PV for 59 payments + PV for 60th payment = loan amount
first we calculate the PV for 59 payments
monthly payments = $5071.33
period = 59 months
monthly rate = 0.75%
PV for 59 payments = PMT( monthly rate, period, - monthly payments ) (using excel )
= $241,064.16
Hence PV for The final payment = loan amount - PV for 59 payments
= 500000 - 241064.16 = $258,935.84
Finally Calculate the Final payment
PV = $258935.84
monthly rate = 0.75%
period = 60 months
Final payment ( future value ) =FV( monthly rate, period,, - PV ) ( using excel)
= $405410.94

Darden Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The first processing department, the Welding Department, started the month with 21,400 units in its beginning work in process inventory that were 10% complete with respect to conversion costs. The conversion cost in this beginning work in process inventory was $24,700. An additional 101,000 units were started into production during the month. There were 34,000 units in the ending work in process inventory of the Welding Department that were 70% complete with respect to conversion costs. A total of $853,880 in conversion costs were incurred in the department during the month. The cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs for the month is closest to:_______
a. $8.486
b. $9.965
c. $8.738
d. $9.200
Answer:
$7.830
Explanation:
Calculation for the cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs for the month
First step is to compute for the Unit transferred out =
Unit transferred out = 21,400+101,000-34,000
Unit transferred out = 88,400
Second step is to compute for the Equivalent unit of conversion
Equivalent unit of conversion = 88,400+(34,000*70%)
Equivalent unit of conversion = 88,400+23,800
Equivalent unit of conversion = 112,200
Last step is to compute for the Cost per equivalent unit of conversion
Cost per equivalent unit of conversion = (24,700+853,880)/112,200 = 7.931
Cost per equivalent unit of conversion = 878,580/112,200
Cost per equivalent unit of conversion = $7.830
Therefore the cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs for the month is closest to $7.830

B) Materials cost per equivalent unit increased slightly during the period from $8 per EU to $8.05 per EU (0.6% increase). Conversion costs also increased during the period from $5.30 per EU to $5.567528 per EU (5% increase).
Explanation:
beginning WIP 7,000 units
100% completed for materials
70% completed for conversion costs (30% added in this period = 2,100 EU)
beginning WIP costs
materials $81,970
conversion $56,000
units started 108,000
materials added during the period $869,400
conversion costs $551,408
units finished 109,200
units started and finished = 108,000 - 7,000 - 5,800 = 95,200
ending WIP 5,800
100% complete for materials
30% complete for conversion costs (1,740 EU)
total EU:
materials 108,000
conversion 2,100 + 95,200 + 1,740 = 99,040
cost per EU:
materials $869,400 / 108,000 = $8.05
conversion $551,408 / 99,040 = $5.567528
total = $13.617528
ending WIP costs:
5,800 x $8.05 = $46,690
1,740 x $5.567528 = $9,687
total = $56,377
costs of finished units:
(102,200 x $8.05) + $56,000 = $878,710
(95,200 x $5.567528) + (2,100 x $5.567528) + $25,970 = $567,691
total = $1,446,401

Answer and explanation attached
Is cost minimization equivalent or identical the concept of product maximization. True of False. Explain
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Given a certain production level, cost minimization is equal to product maximization. Cost minimization refers to the production level where average total cost per unit is lowest. On the other hand, production maximization refers to maximizing product output given certain restraints, e.g. amount of raw materials, number of labor hours, etc. Product maximization basically refers to the efficiency of production.
If someone can achieve product maximization and cost minimization, they should be maximizing profit.
g Benton, Inc. has decided to discontinue manufacturing its Quantum model personal organizer. Currently the company has a number of partially completed personal organizers on hand. The company has spent $111 per unit to manufacture these organizers. To complete each unit, costs of $14 for material and $15 for direct labor will be incurred. In addition, $9 of variable overhead and $34 of allocated fixed overhead (relating primarily to depreciation of plant and equipment) will be added per unit. If Benton, Inc., completes the organizers, it can sell them for $124 per unit. Another manufacturer is interested in purchasing the partially completed organizers for $107 per unit and converting them into inventory tracking devices. Determine whether Benton should complete the personal organizers or sell them in their current state.
Answer:
Sell them in their current state
Explanation:
Ignore the cost already incurred ($111) since it is a sunk cost (already spent) and should not affect future decision.
1) The incremental cost of completing each unit = material cost ($14) + direct labour cost ($15) + variable overhead cost ($9) = $38 (allocated fixed cost was not included since it is a non-cash item)
With a sale price of $124, the profit per unit = $124 - $38 = $89.
2) Whereas, selling the partially completed unit will earn $107 (without any additional cost).
Since selling the partially completed unit earns higher incremental value than completing manufacture before sale, selling is the optimal decision.
On December 31, 2020, Reagan Inc. signed a lease with Silver Leasing Co. for some equipment having a seven-year useful life. The lease payments are made by Reagan annually, beginning at signing date. Title does not transfer to the lessee, so the equipment will be returned to the lessor on December 31, 2026. There is no purchase option, and Reagan guarantees a residual value to the lessor on termination of the lease. Reagan's lease amortization schedule appears below:
Decrease in Outstanding
Dec. 31 Payments Interest Balance Balance
2020 $410,442
2020 $74,700 $74,700 335,742
2021 $74,700 $20,145 54,555 281,187
2022 $74,700 16,871 57,829 223,358
2023 $74,700 13,401 61,299 162,059
2024 $74,700 9,724 64,976 97,083
2025 $74,700 5,825 68,875 28,208
2026 $29,900 1,692 28,208 0
What is the amount of residual value guaranteed by Reagan to the lessor?
Answer: $29,900
Explanation:
Residual value guaranteed is the amount that the lessee promises to pay in the last year including the repayment and the interest payment.
= $28,208 + 1,692
= $29,900
f the present value of the annuity is $45,000, what should be the size of each payment from the annuity
Answer:
"$571.92" is the correct solution.
Explanation:
The given problem is incomplete. Please find attachment of the complete question.
The given values are:
Payments will be made for
= [tex]8\frac{1}{4} \ years[/tex]
At the rate of:
= [tex]5.75 \ percent[/tex]
= [tex]0.0575 \ per \ year[/tex]
The present value of annuity is:
= [tex]45000[/tex]
Let the size of each payment will be "d".
Now,
⇒ [tex]45000=\frac{1-(1+\frac{0.0575}{12})^{-99}}{\frac{0.0575}{12}}\times d[/tex]
⇒ [tex]d = 571.92[/tex] ($)
