Marigold Corp. took a physical inventory on December 31 and determined that goods costing $155,000 were on hand. Not included in the physical count were $28,000 of goods purchased from Pelzer Corporation, FOB shipping point, and $21,800 of goods sold to Alvarez Company for $30,400, FOB destination. Both the Pelzer purchase and the Alvarez sale were in transit at year-end. What amount should Marigold report as its December 31 inventory
Answer: $204,800
Explanation:
When a good is shipped FOB shipping point, it means that the buyer assumes responsibility for the goods as soon as the goods reach the place they will be shipped from. The purchase from Pelzer should therefore be included in inventory because it has already been shipped.
A good shipped FOB Destination means that the buyer only assumes responsibility after the goods have been delivered to them. As the sale to Alvarez was still in transit, it is still the responsibility of Marigold and should be included in inventory.
Inventory is therefore:
= 155,000 + 28,000 + 21,800
= $204,800

The United States is said to have an absolute advantage in producing food compared with Japan. What does that mean?
It must import most of its food from Japan.
It produces food more efficiently than Japan.
It produces food at a higher cost than Japan.
It must export most of its food to Japan.
Answer:
It produces food more efficiently than Japan.
Explanation:
Given that an ABSOLUTE ADVANTAGE is when a country or company can produce the same quantity of goods more efficiently than another country or company with lesser input or produce more quantities of goods with more efficiently with the same input.
Hence, in this case, when it is said that the United States has an absolute advantage in producing food compared with Japan, it means that "It produces food more efficiently than Japan."
The correct answer would be B: It produces food more efficiently than Japan
2. A welder and a carpenter decided to get out of the construction industry and build farm trailers instead. From building a few trailers on weekends, they estimated that the first trailer would take about $700 of their own labor to build and that an 85 percent learning rate can be anticipated on the cumulative average time as each trailer is built. (Note: They decided that their hourly wages should be no less than those they received in the construction trades.) The material costs for each trailer will be about $500, and the craftsmen do not see any way that this can be reduced. They estimate that each trailer can be sold for $1,000. In addition to making their wages on labor, they want to make 15 percent profit on the trailer materials. How many trailers must be built before this rate of profit can be realized
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Data Given:
Material Cost Per Trailer = $500
Material Cost plus Profit Per Trailer (15%) = $500 + 75 = $575
Selling Price = $1000
Labor Cost Remaining Per Trailer = $425
Formula to Calculate the number of Trailers:
X = X1 ([tex]N^{S}[/tex])
Where,
N = number of Trailers
S = Slope Parameter
X = $425
X1 = $700
So, First we need to find the slope parameter, in order to calculate the number of trailers to be built.
S = [tex]\frac{log \alpha }{log 2}[/tex]
where, α = 0.85 rate of improvement.
Plugging in the values into the formula, we get:
S = [tex]\frac{log (0.85) }{log 2}[/tex]
S = -0.234
Now, we can easily find the number of trailers.
X = X1 ([tex]N^{S}[/tex])
Plugging in the values,
425 = 700 x ([tex]N^{-0.234}[/tex])
Solving For N, we get:
N = 8.4 Trailers
N = 9 Trailers.
Hence, 9 Trailers must be built in order to realize this rate of profit.

Theory Enterprises uses a standard cost system and prepared the following budget for May when 24,000 machine hours of activity were anticipated: variable overhead, $48,000; fixed overhead: $240,000. Actual data for May were: Standard machine hours allowed for output attained: 25,000 Actual machine hours worked: 24,000 Variable overhead incurred: $50,000 Fixed overhead incurred: $250,000 The variable-overhead spending and efficiency variances for Theory are: Variable-Overhead Spending Variance Variable-Overhead Efficiency Variance A. $ 0 $ 0 B. $ 0 $ 2,000 unfavorable C. $ 2,000 unfavorable $ 0 D. $ 2,000 favorable $ 2,000 unfavorable E. $ 2,000 unfavorable $ 2,000 favorable
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
a. Variable overhead spending variance
= AH × ( AR - SR)
Where
AH = Actual Hours worked = 24,000
AR = Actual variable overhead rate = $50,000
SR = Standard variable overhead rate = $48,000
Therefore,
Variable overhead spending variance
= 24,000 × ($50,000 - $48,000)
= $48,000

Because testing of nuclear bombs was halted internationally in 1992, the Department of Energy has developed a laser system that allows engineers to simulate (in a laboratory) conditions in a thermo-nuclear reaction. Due to soaring cost overruns, a congressional committee undertook an investigation and discovered that the estimated development cost of the project increased at an average rate of 2% per six-months over a 5-year period. If the original cost was estimated to be $3.1 billion 5 years ago, what is the expected cost today?
Answer:
The estimated development cost of the project will increase from the original cost of $3.1 billion 5 years ago to $3.7727 billion today.
Explanation:
Data and Calculations:
Original estimated development cost = $3.1 billion
Average rate of interest = 2% per six months or 4% per year (2 * 2%)
Period of project = 5 years using 4% or 10 using 2%
Using a future value factor of 1.217 from a future value table at 4% per year for 5 years:
The expected cost today = $3.1 billion * 1.217 = $3.7727 billion

Digital Prosper, a web services firm, has experienced a 7 percent decline in revenues in consecutive quarters. In an effort to reduce operating costs, managers reduced the customer service staff from 12 employees to 6. Management also enlisted the remaining employees to help produce a new company vision: to give customers of all budgets a customizable, stress-free web hosting experience. What is wrong with this scenario
Answer: c. Digital Prosper's organizational structures do not align with the vision.
Explanation:
Digital Prosper have reduced their staff by 50% and yet go on to advertise through their vision, that they are able to cater for all types of customers regardless of their budgets.
This purpose of this vision is to bring in more customers and if it succeeds, the remaining employees in customer service will be swamped with work. This might lead to the employees being inefficient thereby creating stress for the customers.
The organizational structure of Digital Prosper therefore does not align with the vision.
Answer:
Marigold's organizational structures do not align with the vision
Explanation:
The internal stakeholders would be designers, manufacturing, assembly, etc here the internal stockholder would be invested that defines the vision so here the organizational structure would not be aligned with the vision as they attempt to provide the better service for the customer as half the originial staff
is it possible for a company to be too liquid
Answer:
yes it is possible ......
Answer:
A company can have too much liquidity, which may be a sign that it's holding onto cash that could be invested. In a sense, even borrowing money is another typical source of liquidity for businesses. To meet its obligations, the ability to take out loans will be a factor in its liquidity.
Explanation:
Suppose that Perry and Taimur both produce poems and novels. Perry’s productive capabilities are as follows. He can produce 12 poems if he spends all of his time writing poems or he can write 2 novels if he spends all of his time writing novels. He can also produce any linear combination in between. Taimur’s productive capabilities are as follows. He can produce 12 poems if he spends all of his time writing poems or he can write 4 novels if he spends all of his time writing novels. He can also produce any linear combination in between.
A. Which person can produce poems at lower opportunity cost? Explain. Which person can produce novels at a lower opportunity cost? Explain.
B. Suppose that Perry and Taimur make the following deal. Perry will spend all of his time making poems and Taimur will spend all of his time making novels. Taimur will then send 1 novel to Perry and in return Perry will send Taimur 4 poems. How many poems and novels will Perry have after this trade? How may poems and novels will Taimur have after this trade?
C. I claim that after trading with Taimur, Perry can now consume a combination of poems and novels that he never could have produced for himself. Likewise, Taimur can now consume a combination of poems and novels that he never could have produced for himself after trading with Perry. Use equations and a couple of simple calculations to demonstrate that I am correct.
D. What do you think is going on here? Why can both Perry and Taimur now consume a quantity of goods that they never could have produced for themselves?
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Solution:
a.
Perry poems = 12
Taimur Poems = 12
Perry Novels = 2
Taimur Novels = 4
Opportunity cost of Poems for Perry = 2/12 = 1/6
Opportunity cost of Poems for Taimur = 4/12 = 1/3
Opportunity cost of Novels for Perry = 12/2 = 6
Opportunity cost of Novels for Taimur = 12/4 = 3
As opportunity cost of poems for Perry < Opportunity Cost of Poems for Taimur
So,
Perry can produce poems at lower opportunity cost.
And,
Opportunity cost of Novels for Taimur < Opportunity cost of Novels for Perry
SO,
Taimur can produce novels at lower opportunity cost.
b.
Perry spend all time in making poems = 12 poems
Taimur Spend all time in novel making = 4 novels
Trade ---> Taimur send 1 novel, So, he will left with 3 novels, in exchange he will get 4 poems.
So, after trade, we have:
Perry = 8 novels and 1 Poem
Taimur = 4 poems and 3 novels.
c.
The claim is correct.
This is because, Perry makes 8 poems, he is left with with only 4 novels of productivity and as his opportunity cost of novel is 6, he won't be able to produce even 1 novel, if he doesn't trade.
Let's assume Perry and Taimur both have 12 hours of time each.
Productivity of Perry ---> Poems: 12 hours/12 units = 1 Novels: 12/2 = 6
i.e. Perry need 1 hour to produce 1 poem
and 6 hours to produce 1 novel .
So, when Perry produce 8 poems, he exhaust his 8 hours. Now, he is left with 4 hours. So he cannot produce 1 novel, which require 6 hours to complete. So, after trade, he is better off.
d.
As both Perry and Taimur, produce the good, in which they have comparative advantage it lead to specialization. And when they trade the good, in which they have specialization which will lead them expand this consumption possibilities.
The foreign exchange market is a market for converting the currency of one country into that of another country.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
The foreign exchange market is a market for converting the currency of one country into that of another country.
For example, the conversion of dollars of the United States of America can be converted into naira (Nigeria) at the foreign exchange market.
Efficient market school is the market school which argues that forward exchange rates do the best possible job for forecasting future spot exchange rates, so investing in exchange rate forecasting services would be a waste of time because it is impossible to have a consistent alpha generation on a risk adjusted excess returns basis as market prices are only affected by new informations.
The efficient market school also known as the efficient market hypothesis (EMH) is a hypothesis that states that asset (share) prices reflect all information and it is very much impossible to consistently beat the market.
Also, forward exchange rates are exchange rates controlling foreign exchange transactions at a specific future date or time.
Tambe Electric entered into a written agreement with Home Depot to provide copper wire to Tambe at a price set forth in the writing, and allowed the contractor the option of paying for the wire over a period of time. Tambe later tried to purchase such wire on a payment plan but Home Depot refused. As Home Depot did not fulfill this written agreement, Tambe sued for $68,000, the additional cost it had to subsequently pay to obtain copper wire for its work. Home Depot defended that it had made an oral condition precedent requiring payment in full by Tambe at the time it accepted the price quote in the written agreement. The result is that:_________
Answer:
Tambe will win.
Explanation:
The Statue of Frauds requires that contracts over $500 are written, and both companies had a written contract. Home Depot later argues that they had orally agreed to modify the written contract. That modification will not hold since it cannot contradict the written contract. In order to legally modify a written contract, you must do it in writing, not orally.
Suppose that a hot dog vendor uses a cart (K) and his time (L) to make and sell hot dogs. The vendor's production function is , where Q is the number of hot dogs per day. Suppose that the rental on hot dog carts is $50 per day and that the vendor wants to produce 500 hot dogs per day. The demand for labor is ____.
Answer:
L = 2084.75 W^-0.3
Explanation:
The computation of the demand of the labor is shown below:
At the optimum input
As we know that
MRTS = MPL ÷ MPK = w ÷ r
0.7(K ÷ L)^0.3 ÷ 0.3(L ÷ K)^0.7 = w ÷ 50
7K ÷ 3L = w ÷ 50
K = (3 ÷ 350)wL
Now apply the production function
Q = K^0.3L^0.7
500 = ((3 ÷ 350)wL)^0.3 L^0.7
500 = (3 ÷ 350)^0.3 × w^0.3 × L
L = 2084.75 × w^-0.3.
TVLand sells home entertainment systems and also offers a complementary installation service. The same service is offered by other vendors for $50 on average, and TVLand typically charges approximately 40% more than other vendors for similar services on a stand-alone basis. Using the adjusted market assessment approach, the stand-alone selling price of the installation service is:
Answer:
$70
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what the stand-alone selling price of the installation service is:
Stand-alone selling price= $50 + (40%*$50)
Stand-alone selling price=$50+$20
Stand-alone selling price= $70
Therefore the stand-alone selling price of the installation service is:$70

Manson Industries incurs unit costs of $6 ($4 variable and $2 fixed) in making an assembly part for its finished product. A supplier offers to make 15,000 of the assembly part at $5 per unit. If the offer is accepted, Manson will save all variable costs but no fixed costs. Prepare an analysis showing the total cost saving, if any, Manson will realize by buying the part.
Answer:
The decision should be to make the part
Explanation:
Variable cost of manufacturing = 15000x4 = 60000
Fixed cost of manufacturing = 15000 x 2 = 30000
Purchase cost = 15000x5 = 75000
Total annual cost of making = 60000 + 30000 = $90000
Total annual cost of buying is 30000 + 75000 = $105000
90000 - 105,000 = -15000

Olivia wants to buy some vacant land for investment purposes. She currently cannot afford the full purchase price. Instead, Olivia pays the landowner $8,000 to obtain an option to buy the land for $175,000 anytime in the next four years. Fourteen months after purchasing the option, Olivia sells the option for $10,000. What is the amount and character of Olivia's gain or loss
Answer:
$2,000 gain
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the amount and character of Olivia's gain or loss
Based on the information given we were told that she pays the landowner the amount of $8,000 in order for her to obtain an option to buy a land in which after purchasing the option she sells the option for the amount of $10,000 making her to gain the amount of $2,000.
Olivia's gain =$10,000-$8,000
Olivia's gain =$2,000
Therefore The amount and character of Olivia's gain will be $2,000
Answer: $2000
Explanation:
The amount and character of Olivia's gain or loss will be gotten by calculating the amount that Olivia paid the landowner $8,000 to obtain an option to buy the land and the amount she eventually sold the option. This will be:
= $10000 - $8000
= $2000
Therefore, she had a capital gain of $2000
Surendra’s personal residence originally cost $340,000 (ignore land). After living in the house for five years, he converts it to rental property. At the date of conversion, the fair market value of the house is $320,000. As to the rental property, calculate Surendra’s basis for:________.
a. Loss.
b. Depreciation.
c. Gain.
d. Could Surendra have obtained better tax results if he had sold his personal residence for $320,000 to hold as rental property?
Answer:
a. Loss
The basis for Loss is the lower of the basis after it is adjusted for its new purpose or the fair market value.
Adjusted = $340,000
Fair market value = $320,000
Loss basis will therefore be the lower value of $320,000
b. Depreciation:
This is the same as the loss basis because the residence was converted from personal use to business use.
= $320,000
c. Gain
= Adjusted basis of the property
= $340,000
d. No.
Because he would be converting to rental property which is a business use, the loss that he would have incurred of $20,000 would have been disallowed and he wouldn't be able to deduct it.
Loss = Cost - fair value = 340,000 - 320,000 = $20,000

The Board of Ursinus College in Pennsylvania raised its tuition and fees 17.6 percent to $23,460 in 2000. It subsequently received 200 more applications than the year before. The president of the college surmised that "applicants had apparently concluded that if the college cost more, it must be better." Other colleges that raised tuition to match rival colleges in recent years include University of Notre Dame, Bryn Mawr College, Rice University, and the University of Richmond. They also experienced an increase in applications. In contrast, North Carolina Wesleyan College lowered their tuition and fees about 10 years ago by 22 percent and attracted fewer students. The college president concluded that "it didn't work out the way it had been hoped. People don't want cheap."
You are hired as a consultant to a President of a liberal arts college in the East. You are asked to evaluate a recommendation by the college's Admissions Director. Susan Hansen, to increase tuition and to reduce financial aid to students. Susan argues that the data from competing colleges suggest that the demand curves for colleges slope upward-the quantity demanded increases with price. Susan projects that the increase in tuition and reduction in financial aid will solve the school's financial problems. Last year, the college enrolled 400 new students who each paid an effective tuition of $15,000 (after financial aid), totaling $6,000,000. She projects that with the increased demand from charging an effective tuition of $25,000, the college will be able to enroll 600 new students (of equal or better quality), totaling $15,000,000.
Required:
Evaluate Susan's analysis and recommendation
Solution :
The demand curve : The quantity demanded for each price
[tex]$D=Q(P)$[/tex]
The prices goes up, quantity demanded will decreases.
The price goes up, quantity demanded will increase
Board of the Ursinus College in Pennsylvania raised tuition fees : $ 23,460 which is 17.6 % more to 2000.
The applicants : 200 more from previous year.
Therefore the college cost most, then it must be better.
Other rival competitions have also seen same scenarios. When cost goes down, the demand decreases.
Susan's perceptive :
Demand increases with cost increase and the demand curve slopes upwards.
Our understanding is completely different with the understanding of the college administrative officer, Susan.
Our understanding is negative slope of the demand curve other than change in price of any other parameter will lead to shift in demand curve, either in or out.
If all the tuitions fees are increased, then financial aid needs to be sponsored by the 'state'. That will effect reserves which leads to the failure of the sole purpose of aids.
Our recommendation should be to tell the board members the long term effects of the increase in the tuitions fees and no financial aid will create.
