Answer:
1st scenario shows the GDP deflator and second shows the CPI.
Explanation:
The consumer price index (CPI) is determined by dividing the market price of commodities (basket) with the base year prices of that basket or commodity and then multiply with a hundred. The CPI reflects only the price of goods and services brought by the consumer.
Therefore, the first scenario price of a treewood is the GDP deflator and the second scenario is CPI.
Sufra Corporation is planning to sell 150,000 units for $2.90 per unit and will break even at this level of sales. Fixed expenses will be $93,000. What are the company's variable expenses per unit
Answer:
$2.28
Explanation:
Breakeven point is the number of units produced and sold at which net income is equal to zero.
Breakeven = F / P - V
F = fixed
P = price
V = variable cost
150,000 = $93,000 / $2.90 - V
Multiply both sides of the equation by $2.90 - V
= ($2.90 - V)150,000 = $93,000
$435,000 - 150,000V = $93,000
V = $2.28

1. Perpetual preferred stock.
2. Exchangeable preferred stock.
3. Convertible preferred stock.
4. Cumulative preferred stock.
Tracy Company, a manufacturer of air conditioners, sold 190 units to Thomas Company on November 17, 2021. The units have a list price of $300 each, but Thomas was given a 20% trade discount. The terms of the sale were 4/10, n/30. Thomas uses a perpetual inventory system. 3. Prepare the journal entries to record the purchase by Thomas on November 17 and payment on November 26, 2021 and December 15, 2021 using the net method of accounting for purchase discounts.
Answer:Please see explanation column for answer.
Explanation:
Net purchase per unit = List price per unit - Trade discount
$300 - ( 300 x 20 %) = 300- (300 x 0.2)= 300 -60= $240
Total purchase amount = Number of units x Net purchase per unit
190 x 240= $45,600
Discount from purchase = Total purchase amount x discount percentage/ 100
=45,600 x 4/100= $1,824
Cash = $45,600
Discount = $1,824
Accounts payable = $43,776

The net account payable by Thomas on November 17, 2021, is $43,776. The journal entries to record the purchase by Thomas is attached in the image.
Net purchase per unit = List price per unit - Trade discount
$300 - ( 300 × 20 %) = 300- (300 × 0.2)
= 300 -60
= $240
Total purchase amount = Number of units x Net purchase per unit
190 × 240= $45,600
Discount from purchase = Total purchase amount x discount percentage/ 100
=45,600 × 4/100
= $1,824
Cash = $45,600
Discount = $1,824

The cost of an asset is $ 1 comma 050 comma 000, and its residual value is $ 130 comma 000. Estimated useful life of the asset is ten years. Calculate depreciation for the second year using the doubleminusdecliningminusbalance method of depreciation. (Do not round any intermediate calculations, and round your final answer to the nearest dollar.)
Answer:
$168,000
Explanation:
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life)
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/10) = 0.2
depreciation expense in year 1 = 0.2 x $1,050,000 =$210,000
book value at the beginning of year 2 = $1,050,000 - $210,000 = $840,000
depreciation expense in year 2 = 0.2 x $840,000 = $168,000
An investor who was not as astute as he believed invested $264,500 into an account 12 years ago. Today, that account is worth $204,000. What was the annual rate of return on this account
Answer:
-19.061%
Explanation:
interest earned= principal x time x interest rate
Interest earned = $264,500 - $204,000 = $-60,500
$-60,500 = $264,500 x 12 x interest rate
interest rate = -0.19061 = -19.061%

Exhibit 15.1 Zorn Corporation is deciding whether to pursue a restricted or relaxed working capital investment policy. The firm's annual sales are expected to total $4,400,000, its fixed assets turnover ratio equals 4.0, and its debt and common equity are each 50% of total assets. EBIT is $150,000, the interest rate on the firm's debt is 10%, and the tax rate is 40%. If the company follows a restricted policy, its total assets turnover will be 2.5. Under a relaxed policy its total assets turnover will be 2.2. Refer to Exhibit 15.1. Assume now that the company believes that if it adopts a restricted policy, its sales will fall by 15% and EBIT will fall by 10%, but its total assets turnover, debt ratio, interest rate, and tax rate will all remain the same. In this situation, what's the difference between the projected ROEs under the restricted and relaxed policies
Answer:
difference between ROEs = 10.83% (restricted) - 9% (relaxed) = 1.83%
Explanation:
total annual sales = $4,400,000
EBIT = $150,000
net income = $150,000 x (1 - 40%) = $90,000
restricted policy:
asset turnover = 2.5
sales = $3,740,000
EBIT = $135,000
net income = $81,000
assets = $3,740,000 / 2.5 = $1,496,000
equity = $1,496,000 x 50% = $748,000
ROE = $81,000 / $748,000 = 10.83%
relaxed policy:
asset turnover = 2.2
sales = $4,400,000
EBIT = $150,000
net income = $90,000
assets = $4,400,000 / 2.2 = $2,000,000
equity = $2,000,000 x 50% = $1,000,000
ROE = $90,000 / $1,000,000 = 9%
difference between ROEs = 10.83% - 9% = 1.83%
The CAL formed from the optimal risky portfolio will be __________ to the efficient frontier of risky assets.
Answer:
tangent
Explanation:
The Capital Allocation Line refers to a line that measures the assets profile with respect to risk plus reward and can be applied to determine the optimal portfolio.
The optimal portfolio involves both risk-free assets and an efficient portfolio of assets i.e to be riskier.
The optimal portfolio of risky assets should be at that point at which the capital allocation line is tangent to the efficient frontier.
This portfolio is desirable since CAL 's slope is the maximum, implying we get the maximum return for the additional unit added with respect to risk.
Assume that there is an autonomous increase in investment spending of $20 billion and the MPC is given as 0.4, and assuming taxes, imports, and savings are all equal and no leakages:
Answer:
a. 1.67
b. $33.4 billion
c. A larger MPC
Explanation:
a. The Spending Multiplier is used to calculate how much an Economy increases as a result of an extra dollar being put into it and can be calculated by using the following formula;
= 1 / ( 1 - MPC)
= 1/ ( 1 - 0.4
= 1.67
b. Total Change in GDP = Amount invested * Spending Multiplier
= 20 * 1.67
= $33.4 billion.
c. An Economy is helped when it's GDP increases. A higher Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) will help it more in that case because from the formula, a larger MPC would reduce the divisor of 1 resulting in a larger Spending Multiplier which will increase the GDP more per dollar.
To explain further, the MPC measures how much of an extra dollar that people in the Economy spend, if the MPC is higher it means they spend more which will contribute to a rise in Consumption which is part of GDP.

The company has provided the following data concerning its costs: Wages and salaries Depreciation $420,000 170,000 190,000 Occupancy $780,000 Total The distribution of resource consumption across activity cost pools is given below:
Activity Cost Pools Order Processing Fabrication other Total Wages and salaries Depreciation 30% 25% 45% 100% 20% 50% 30% 100% 40% 35% 100% 25% Occupancy
The activity rate for the Order Processing activity cost pool is closest to:
The activity rate for the Order Processing activity cost pool is closest to:
a) $633 per order
b) $1,745 per order
c) $855 per order
d) $572 per order
Answer:
Order processing= $846.67 per order
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Activity costs:
Wages and salaries= 420,000
Depreciation= $170,000
Occupancy= $190,000
Activity Cost Pools:
Order Processing:
Wages and salaries= 0.3
Depreciation= 0.25
Occupancy= 0.45
Order processing 300 orders
First, we need to calculate the total overhead cost for order processing:
Wages and salaries= 0.3*420,000= 126,000
Depreciation= 0.25*170,000= 42,500
Occupancy= 0.45*190,000= 85,500
Total= $254,000
Now, using the following formula, we can determine the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Order processing= 254,000/300= $846.67 per order

Answer:
The ending inventory for the month of May using the LIFO inventory cost method is $324.
Explanation:
LIFO
LIFO method assumes that the last goods purchased are the first ones to be issued to the final customer.
This means valuation of inventory will use the value of the earliest goods purchased.
Ending Inventory : 2 units × $14 = $28
5 units × $16 = $80
12 units × $18 = $216
Total = $324
Conclusion :
The ending inventory for the month of May using the LIFO inventory cost method is $324.

What has the U.S. government done to create economic growth, stability, full employment, freedom, security, equity, and efficiency? Have these policies been successful in reaching the economic goals of the United States? Address how gross domestic product, inflation, and gross domestic product per capita were affected.
Answer:
The U.S. is a market oriented economy with moderate taxation and regulations.
The measures that the U.S. government has taken to create economic growth, stability, full employment, freedom, security, equity and efficiency are mostly market oriented: lower taxes for corporations and some individuals, less regulations, the signing of free trade agreements, the promotion of applied research with universities in alliances with the private sector, and so on.
These policies have been largely succesful. Gross domestic product has continued to grow at a steady pace ever since the 2007-2008 financial crisis was overcome. Inflation has been in the target that is set by the Federal Reserve, and as for GDP Per Capita, the U.S. has one of the highest GDP Per Capita in the world, with $62,000 USD per person in 2019.
A car dealership spends $700,000 on cars to stock their lot. After a day of sales, they earn a total revenue of $1,500,000. What is the car dealership's profit? g
Answer:
$800,000
Explanation:
The computation of the car dealership profit is shown below:
Car dealership profit is
= Total revenue earned - total cost spent
where,
Total revenue earned is $1,500,000
And, the total cost spent is $700,000
So, the car dealership profit is
= $1,500,000 - $700,000
= $800,000
We simply deduct the total cost spent from the total revenue earned so that we get to know car dealership profit
A company with a decreasing interest expense would see what change to its times interest earned?
a) An increase
b) A decrease
c) No change
d) Cannot be determined
Answer:
a) An increase
Explanation:
The times interest earned ratio is a ratio that measures the portion of the income or earning that can be used to pay for future interest expenses. Times interest earned ratio is also known as the coverage ratio and it can be computed using the following formula:
Times interest earned ratio = EBIT / Interest expense .............. (1)
Where EBIT denotes earning before interest and tax.
From equation, it can be seen that there is a negative relationship between times interest earned and interest expense. That is, as interest expense increases, times interest earned falls. On the other hand, as interest expense falls, times interest earned increases.
Therefore, the correct option is a) An increase, that is a company with a decreasing interest expense would see an increase to its times interest earned.

As the income of bus riders increased, the wages of bus drivers increased simultaneously. How does this affect the market for bus rides (inferior good)?
Answer:
The demand curve and supply curve will shift leftwards.
Explanation:
The increase in the income of riders will decrease the number of bus rides because there is an inverse relationship between income and inferior goods. Therefore, the demand curve for bus rides will shift leftwards. Moreover, the increase in wages is an input cost, therefore, the rise in input cost will shift the supply curve leftwards.
Suppose Hoosiers, a specialty clothing store, rents space at a local mall for one year, paying $13,800 ($1,150/month) in advance on October 1.
Required:
1. Record the adjusting entries on December 31.
2. Record the payment of rent in advance of october 1.
3. Calculate the year-end adjusted balances of prepaid rent and rent expense (assuming the balance of Prepaid Rent at the beginning of the year is $0).
Answer:
1.
Dec 31 Rent expense $3450 Dr
Prepaid Rent $3450 Cr
2.
Oct 1 Prepaid Rent $13800 Dr
Cash $13800 Cr
3.
Year end balances at 31 December:
Rent Expense = $3450
Prepaid Rent = $10350
Explanation:
Assumption: The year end for the business in on 31 December.
1.
The rent is paid in advance thus it is an asset. On 31 December the adjusting entry will be made under the accrual principle to match the current period's rent expense and record it in the period to which it belongs to. Thus we will credit the rent expense for 3 months i.e. October, November and December. We will credit the asset account that is Prepaid Rent.
2.
The prepayment of rent is creating an asset account in the title of prepaid rent. The entry would be to record the asset prepaid rent by the full amount of the rent prepaid and credit the other asset account through which the payment is being made.
3.
The adjusted year end balance for rent expense will be the rent expense paid for this period that is $1150 * 3 = 3450
The balance in the prepaid rent account after adjusting the rent expense will be,
Prepaid rent = 13800 - 3450 = $10350

(Being the bad debt expense is recorded)
For recording this we debited the bad debt expense as it increased the expenses and credited the allowance for doubtful debts as it decreased the assets
Therefore option c is correct
You need to borrow money and you are considering two loans. The terms of the two loans are equivalent with the exception of the interest rates. Loan A offers a stated rate of 3.125% compounded monthly. Loan B offers a stated rate of 3.15% compounded semi-annually. What are the effective annual rates for the loans? Which one do you prefer
Answer:
For Loan A = 3.170%
For Loan B = 3.174%
Loan B has a higher effective annual rate.
Explanation:
The computation of effective annual rates for the loans is shown below:-
For Loan A
We will assume effective annual rate is a
Stated rate(r) = 3.125% compounded monthly
= Number of periods in an year n = 12
So,
(1 + a) = (1 + r ÷ n) × n
= a = (1+0.03125 ÷ 12) × 12 - 1
= 0.03170
or
= 3.170%
For Loan B
We will assume the effective annual rate is b
Stated rate (r) = 3.15% compounded semi annually
= Number of periods in an year n = 2
So
(1 + a) = (1 + r ÷ n) × n
= a = (1 + 0.0315 ÷ 2) × 2 - 1
= 0.03174
or
= 3.174%
From the above calculation we can see that Loan B, is greater than Loan A and has a higher effective annual rate.
