Answer: Yes it does
Explanation:
The investment advisors say that the market rarely declines three years in a row.
Since 1872, it has declined two years in a row 8 times and three years in a row, only twice.
This means out of 8 times, it declined twice. Percentage of times it declined was:
= 2 / 8 * 100%
= 25%
25% while not rare, is a good enough percentage to trust the advice of the investment advisors.
Background information: In 2012, President Obama and Congress debated the issue of taxes and tax cuts.
In this speech, President Obama is discussing the effects of a potential tax increase.
A typical middle-class family of four would see its income taxes go up by $2,200. That's $2,200 out of people's pockets. That means less money for buying groceries, less money for filling prescriptions, less money for buying diapers. . . .
. . . Businesses can't afford it either. . . . Economists predict that if taxes go up on the middle class next year, consumers will spend nearly $200 billion less on things like cars and clothes and furniture - and that obviously means fewer customers. That cuts into business profits.That makes businesses less likely to invest and hire, which means fewer jobs.And that can drag our entire economy down.
—President Barack Obama,
November 28, 2012

There is increased time and effort spent looking for trading partners. D. There is a lack of standardization. E. There is difficulty in accumulating wealth. OF. Transactions costs are almost always high.
Answer:
C)There is increased time and effort spent looking for trading partners.
D)There is a lack of standardization.
E)There is difficulty in accumulating wealth.
Explanation:
barter in a trade can be regarded as a system of exchange that involves exchange of goods and services for another without using money as a medium of exchange. Barter is been considered as 'inefficient' as a result of the needs for 'double coincidence of wants'. For instance in a situation whereby someone is buying particular amount of another's goods, but the payment he/she has is for just one indivisible unit of another good, and the worth is higher than what he/she want to obtain, in this case there won't be barter transaction.
It should be noted that the costs and sources of inefficiency in a barter are;
✓There is increased time and effort spent looking for trading partners.
✓There is a lack of standardization.
✓There is difficulty in accumulating
A firm produces truffles by using labor and capital. The price of labor is $10 per unit, and the price of capital is $20 per unit. At current output level, the marginal product of labor is 40 truffles and the marginal product of capital is 60 truffles. To reduce the total cost of producing the current quantity of truffles, how should the firm change its spending on labor and capital
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
With the information given in the question, the firm should change its spending on labor and capital by increasing its labor and at thesame time, also reducing capital.
This is because since the marginal product of labor is 40 truffles and the price of labor is $10 per unit, it means that 4 truffles/dollar is being spent on labor, while for capital, 3 truffles/dollar is being spent.
Sorting forms of payments
Q; Sort the forms of payment into the two categories
Answer down below
Have money at time of purchase
- cash
- debit card
- check
Borrow money to make purchase
- credit card
Answer:
Have money at time of purchase.
Cash
For cash to be used to purchase something, the person must already have the required amount of cash in their possession already.
Debit Card.
Debit cards pay for purchases by using funds in the owner's bank account. This means that for a purchase to be processed, the owner must have funds in their account in the first place.
Check
This works much like the debit card above. If one wants to use a check, their bank account needs to have funds at the time of purchase so that the funds can pay for the purchase.
Borrow money to make a purchase
Credit Card
Credit card represent a debt owed to the issuing company that will need to be paid off eventually. This means therefore that whenever you use a credit card to make a purchase, you are borrowing the money used to fund the purchase.

Even though I was willing to pay up to $49 for a jersey sweater, I bought a jersey sweater for only $39.
I sold a used laptop for $106, even though I was willing to go as low as $100 in order to sell it.
I sold a watch for $52 on eBay last week. This week, someone offered me $110 for
Answer:
Consumer surplus
Producer surplus
Neither
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
I was willing to pay $49 for the sweater but paid $39, thus the consumer surplus is $10
Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least price the seller is willing to sell the product
Producer surplus = price – least price the seller is willing to accept
The least amount i was willing to sell my laptop is $100 but i was paid $106 for it. The producer surplus is $6
The third statement is not about consumer or producer surplus. There is no information on the least amount the seller was willing to accept or the highest amount the consumer was willing to sell
The cost of direct materials transferred into the Filling Department of Eve Cosmetics Company is $194,560. The conversion cost for the period in the Filling Department is $98,340. The total equivalent units for direct materials and conversion are 25,600 ounces and 29,800 ounces, respectively. Determine the direct materials and conversion costs per equivalent unit. If required, round to the nearest cent.
Direct materials cost per equivalent unit: $ per ounce
Conversion costs per equivalent unit: $ per ounce
The costs per equivalent unit of direct materials and conversion in the Filling Department of Eve Cosmetics Company are $2.20 and $0.65, respectively. The equivalent units to be assigned costs are as follows:
Equivalent Units
Direct Materials Conversion
Inventory in process, beginning of period 0 3,600
Started and completed during the period 45,000 45,000
Transferred out of Filling (completed) 45,000 48,600
Inventory in process, end of period 3,000 1,500
Total units to be assigned costs 48,000 50,100
The beginning work in process inventory had a cost of $2,380. Determine the cost of completed and transferred-out production and the ending work in process inventory. If required, round to the nearest dollar.
Completed and transferred-out production $
Inventory in process, ending $
Answer:
Part 1
Direct material cost per equivalent units = $194,560 / 25,600 ounces
Direct material cost per equivalent units = $ 7.60 per ounce
Conversion Cost per equivalent units = $98,340 / 29,800 ounce
Conversion Cost per equivalent units = $3.30 per ounce
Part 2
Completed and Transferred out of production = $2380 + (45,000* $2.20) + (3,600 * $0.65) + (45,000 * $0.65)
= $2,380 + $99,000 + $2,340 + $29,250
= $132,970
Inventory in process, ending = (3000 * $2.20) + (1500 * $0.65)
= $6,600 + $975
= $7,575
A manufacturing company applies factory overhead based on direct labor hours. At the beginning of the year, it estimated that factory overhead costs would be $348,400 and direct labor hours would be 47,000. Actual manufacturing overhead costs incurred were $304,000, and actual direct labor hours were 52,400. The journal entry to apply the factory overhead costs for the year would include a
Answer:
Journal Entry
Debit Work-in-Process $388,284
Credit Manufacturing Overhead $388,284
To record the application of factory overhead costs for the year.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Estimated factory overhead costs = $348,400
Estimated direct labor hours = 47,000
Predetermined overhead rate = $7.41 ($348,400/47,000)
Actual overhead costs = $304,000
Actual direct labor hours = 52,400
Applied overhead costs = $388,284 (52,400 * $7.41)
b) The overhead applied to the production for the year will be the actual direct labor hours by the predetermined overhead rate. This yields a cost that is greater than the actual overhead costs, which means that the manufacturing overhead was overapplied. The cause of this situation is the number of actual direct labor hours worked vis-a-vis the actual overhead costs and the predetermined rate.
Novak Corp. bought equipment on January 1, 2022. The equipment cost $390000 and had an expected salvage value of $35000. The life of the equipment was estimated to be 5 years. The company uses the straight-line method of depreciation. The book value of the equipment at the beginning of the third year would be
Answer:
$177,000
Explanation:
In order to find the book value of the equipment we need to find the amount of depreciation per year. To do this we need to subtract the salvage value from the initial cost and then simply divide by 5 which is the life span of the equipment...
(390,000 - 35,000) / 5 = x
355,000 / 5 = x
71,000 = x
Now we see that the equipment will depreciate by $71,000 per year. In three years the depreciation would be
71,000 * 3 = 213,000
Now we simply subtract this value from the initial cost to get the book value in the third year
390,000 - 213,000 = 177,000

Claremore Industries uses a weighted-average process-costing system. All materials are added at the beginning of the process; conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout production. The company finished 40,000 units during the period and had 15,000 units in progress at year-end, the latter at the 40% stage of completion. Total material costs amounted to $220,000; conversion costs were $414,000. The cost of the ending work in process is:
Answer: $78000
Explanation:
First, we have to calculate the total.costnoer equivalent unit which will be the addition of the material cost per unit and the conversion cost per unit. This will be:
Material cost per unit = $220,000 / (40,000+15,000)
= $220,000 / 55000
= $4
Conversion cost per unit= $414,000 / (40,000 + (15,000*40%)
= $414000 / 46000
= $9
Therefore, total cost per equivalent unit will be: $4 + $9 = $13
Then, the equivlant unit of the ending work in process would be calculated as:
= 15,000 × 40%
= 15000 × 40/100
= 15000 × 0.4
= 6,000
The cost of the ending work in process will then be:
= 6,000 × $13
= $78,000
Which categories of goods used by ordinary people are most affected by scarcity? Use examples from two of these categories and explain how the scarcity of these goods might arise and how this scarcity would affect most people.
Answer:
nondurable and consumer goods
Explanation:
Nondurable goods are affected by scarcity because their time life is limited. For example, if the capital goods required for its transportation or conservation of ice cream broke down, the product would ruin very easily.
Consumer goods are generally mass consumed. For example clothes are consumed by most of us during the year, but most of them are imported nowadays. Any trade barrier that delayed their supply would cause a rapid shortage.

An entrepreneur recently purchased Cocoon's, a local deli, on the beach. To operate the business, she estimates that selling and administrative expenses will be $98,510.00 per year and that depreciation will be $20,000.00 per year. As part of her purchase, she took out a bank loan that will require $76,265.00 per year in interest. She anticipates paying a 32.00% tax rate on income. She estimates that the deli will attract 200.00 customers per day. Each customer will spend $12.00 on average. The cost of goods per customer will be $4.50. She will operate the deli 350.00 days per year. What is the projected net profit margin for the deli
Answer:
27%
Explanation:
The computation of the net profit margin is shown below;
As we know that
net profit margin = Net profit ÷ sales
where
net profit is
Particulars Amount
Sales (200 customers × $12 × 350 days) $840,000
Less: cost of goods sold (200 customers × $4.50 × 350 days) -$315,000
Gross profit $525,000
Less:
Selling and admin expense -$98,510
Depreciation expense - $20,000
Bank loan interest -$76,265
Net income before tax $330,225
Less tax at 32% -$105,672
Net income after tax $224,553
Now the net profit margin is
= $224,553 ÷ $840,000
= 27%

The amount of joint costs allocated to product DBB-1 using the sales value at split-off method is (calculate all ratios and percentages to 2 decimal places, for example 33.33%, and round all dollar amounts to the nearest whole dollar): $2,213,640. $939,240. $216,870. $757,800. $447,120.
Answer:
$2,213,640
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount of joint costs allocated to product DBB-1 using the sales value at split-off method
First step is to calculate the total amount
DBB-1= 16,000 units *$25
DBB-1= 400,000
DBB-2= 24,000 units *$35
DBB-2= 840,000
DBB-2= 36,000 units *$55
DBB-2= 1,980,000
Total =3,220,000
(400,000+840,000+1,980,000)
Second step is to calculate the Weight for DBB-3
Weight for DBB-3= 1,980,000 / 3,220,000 Weight for DBB-3=61.49%
Now let calculate the Joint cost for DBB-3
Joint cost for DBB-3=$36,00,000*61.49%
Joint cost for DBB-3=$2,213,640
Therefore The amount of joint costs allocated to product DBB-1 using the sales value at split-off method is $2,213,640

Over the past decade, many American candy companies have opened factories in Mexico and Canada to produce candy. The companies, including Hershey Company, Brach's Confections, and Ferrara Pan, then ship candy back to the United States for sale. Although lower wages in Mexico might explain part of this move, wages in Canada are comparable to U.S. wages. Price floors (price supports) for the sugar industry encouraged American candy companies to move production out of the United States. Describe how the enactment of a sugar price floor impacted the market for candy in the United States, resulting in the movement of manufacturing.
Answer:
The sugar industry in the US is very powerful and has been able to establish trade barriers and import quotas that affect domestic prices. Sugar prices in the US are extremely high compared to prices in any other country, including Canada, Mexico, China, European nation, i.e. American sugar is the most expensive in the world.
Besides imposing trade barriers, the government also imposes a binding price floor. Binding price floors always result in deadweight losses since the quantity demanded is lower than equilibrium. This is why American candy manufacturers move their production overseas. the highest cost in the candy industry is actually sugar, and wherever they decide to relocate their factories it will always be cheaper.

Determine Danielson's postretirement benefit expense for the current year.
Answer: $207,00
Explanation:
Postretirement benefit for the year is:
= Service cost + Interest cost + Amortization of prior service cost - Return on plant assets - Amortization of net gain
Interest cost = Discount rate * Actual Projected benefit obligation (APBO)
= 8% * 800,000
= $64,000
Return on plant assets = Return on plan assets (actual and expected)* Plan assets
= 10% * 80,000
= $8,000
Postretirement benefit = 150,000 + 64,000 + 2,000 - 8,000 - 1,000
= $207,000

Stevens Company's inventory on March 1 and the costs charged to Work in Process—Department B during March are as follows:
Beginning work in process, 12,000 units, 60% completed $62,400
From Department A, 55,000 units started this period
Direct materials added 115,500
Direct labor incurred 384,916
Factory overhead incurred 138,000
During March, all direct materials were transferred from Department A, the units in process at March 1 were completed, and of the 55,000 units entering the department, all were completed except 6,000 units that were 70% completed. Inventories are costed by the first-in, first-out method.
Required:
Prepare a cost of production report for March.
Solution :
Particulars Direct materials Conversions
Cost per equivalent unit
Total costs for month March in Department B 115500 522915
Total equivalent units 55000 58000
Cost per equivalent unit 2.10 9.0158
So, total conversion cost for March in the Department B
= 384915 + 138000
= $ 522915
Costs charged to production:
Direct Materials Conversion Total cost
Costs costs
Inventory in process, March 1 62400
Cost incurred in March 638415
Total costs accounted by the department 700815
Therefore, the cost incurred in March = 115500 + 384915 + 138000
= $ 638415
In a month, Carlos can produce a maximum of either 30 bushels of pears or 15 bushels of apples, or any linear combination in between. Similarly, Donna can produce a maximum of either 20 bushels of pears or 5 bushels of apples, or any linear combination in between.
a. What is the opportunity cost for Carlos to produce one more bushel of apples in terms of pears?
b. What is the opportunity cost for Donna to produce one more bushel of apples in terms of pears?
c. What would Donna and Carlos agree to as acceptable terms of trade?
Answer:
a. What is the opportunity cost for Carlos to produce one more bushel of apples in terms of pears?
opportunity cost to produce 1 more bushel of apples = 30 / 15 = 2 bushels of pears
b. What is the opportunity cost for Donna to produce one more bushel of apples in terms of pears?
opportunity cost to produce 1 more bushel of apples = 20 / 5 = 4 bushels of pears
c. What would Donna and Carlos agree to as acceptable terms of trade?
Donna has a comparative advantage in the production of pears, so she should produce pears and exchange them for apples produced by Carlos.
Any range between 1-2 pears (higher than 1, but lower than 2) exchanged for every apple would result in mutually beneficial trade.
