Explanation:
Mary makes 10 pies and 20 cakes a day and her opportunity cost of producing a cake is 2 pies. Tim makes 20 pies and 10 cakes a day and his opportunity cost of producing a cake is 4 pies. If Mary and Tim specialize in the good in which they have a comparative advantage, ______.
Answer:
If Mary and Tim specialize in the good in which they have a comparative advantage, ______.
Mary would specialize in making cakes while Tim would specialize in making pies.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Mary's opportunity cost of making a cake = 2 pies
She can make additional 5 (10/2) cakes instead of making pies
This will increase her cakes to 25 a day (20 + 5)
Tim's opportunity cost of making a cake = 4 pies
She can make additional 40 pies (10 * 4) instead of making cakes
This will increase her pies to 60 pies a day (20 + 40)
When they specialize there will be 25 cakes and 60 pies produced in a day instead of 30 cakes and 30 pies.
It takes Suzi 6 hours to sew a shirt and 4 hours to bake a cake. Anna can sew a shirt in 3 hours and bake a cake in 1 hour. If Anna and Suzi decide to specialize and trade, who should make shirts?
Answer:
Suzi
Explanation:
Comparative advantage is the relative edge that a person has over another in the production of a product. They use less resources to produce the product than others.
When two parties corporate in production the good to produce can be shared base on who has comparative advantage or the person that loses less in a production process.
In the give instance
Suzi can produce a shirt in 6 hours while Anna produces it in 3 hours. Anna is twice as fast as Suzi.
Suzi can bake a cake in 4 hours while Anna can do so in 1 hour. So Anna is 4 times faster than Suzi in baking cakes.
It will be best for Suzi to make shirts since she is only twice as slow as Anna.
Anna will be better off baking cakes as she is four times as fast here.
Finerly Corporation sells cosmetics through a network of independent distributors. Finerly shipped cosmetics to its distributors and is considering whether it should record $300,000 of revenue upon shipment of a new line of cosmetics. Finerly expects the distributors to be able to sell the cosmetics, but is uncertain because it has little experience with selling cosmetics of this type. Finerly is committed to accepting the cosmetics back from the distributors if the cosmetics are not sold. How much revenue should Finerly recognize upon delivery to its distributors?
Answer: $0
Explanation:
When there is an expectation of reversal of the goods back to the company due to factors arising from a delay in the delivery of the goods or other factors that could not be controlled, the revenue recognized should be $0.
In this scenario, Finerly is uncertain about the ability of the goods to be sold by the distributors and is committed to accepting the cosmetics should they not sell.
As they have little experience which means that they will be unable to control much unforeseen factors, there is an expectation of reversal so revenue should be recognized at $0 on delivery. Revenue will only be recognized after sales.
Suppose you bought a bond with a coupon rate of 5.2 percent paid annually one year ago for $920. The bond sells for $970 today. a.Assuming a $1,000 face value, what was your total dollar return on this investment over the past year
Answer:
$102
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what was your total dollar return on this investment over the past year
Using this formula
Total dollar return =Change in price + Coupon payment
Let plug in the formula
Total dollar return = $970 - $920 + (5.2÷100*$1000)
Total dollar return = $970 - $920+$52
Total dollar return=$102
Therefore what was your total dollar return on this investment over the past year is $102

On June 1, 2021, Dirty Harry Co. borrowed cash by issuing a 6-month noninterest-bearing note with a maturity value of $420,000 and a discount rate of 10%. Assuming straight-line amortization of the discount, what is the carrying value of the note as of September 30, 2021
Answer:
$413,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the carrying value of the note as of September 30, 2021
Carrying value=[$420,000 - ($420,000 .010*6/12)]+ [($420,000 .010*6/12)*4/6]
Carrying value=[$420,000-$21,000]+ ($21,000*4/6)
Carrying value=[$420,000-$21,000]+ $14,000
Carrying value=$399,000+ 14,000
Carrying value=$413,000
Therefore the carrying value of the note as of September 30, 2021 is $413,000
Isaac Inc. began operations in January 2021. For some property sales, Isaac recognizes income in the period of sale for financial reporting purposes. However, for income tax purposes, Isaac recognizes income when it collects cash from the buyer's installment payments. In 2021, Isaac had $676 million in sales of this type. Scheduled collections for these sales are as follows:
2021 $83 million
2022 137 million
2023 129 million
2024 162 million
2025 165 million
$676 million
Assume that Isaac has a 25% income tax rate and that there were no other differences in income for financial statement and tax purposes.
Required:
What deferred tax liability would Isaac report in its year-end 2021 balance sheet?
Answer:
$148.3 million
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the deferred tax liability that Isaac would report in its year-end 2021 balance sheet
Using this formula
Deferred tax liability=Total future taxable income × Tax rate
Let plug in the formula
Deferred tax liability=(2022 137 million+2023 129 million+2024 162 million+2025 165 million)*25%
Deferred tax liability=$593 million*25%
Deferred tax liability=$148.3 million
Therefore the deferred tax liability that Isaac would report in its year-end 2021 balance sheet is $148.3 million
Mesa County contracts with New Construct Inc. to build a courthouse. New Construct hires Odell to excavate the site. Odell’s work damages adjacent properties. Mesa files a suit against the excavator, who argues that the county is not named in his contract with New Construct. Most likely, the court will hold that Odell is:_________
a. not liable because Mesa is not named in Odell’s contract.
b. liable on the ground that Mesa is an incidental third-party beneficiary.
c. liable on the ground that Mesa is an intended third-party beneficiary.
d. not liable because Odell’s contract was with New Construct, not Mesa.
Answer:
c. liable on the ground that Mesa is an intended third-party beneficiary
Explanation:
In a contract, the third-party beneficiary is a business or a person that benefits from the agreement and the terms of the contract that is made between the two other parties. According to law, third-party beneficiary have certain rights which they can enforced if the contract is not fulfilled.
In the context, Mesa is a third party beneficiary. The Mesa County enters into a contract with New Construct Inc. to construct a court house. Now New Construct Inc. again hires the firm Odell to excavate the land site.
While excavating Odell damages few nearby properties, so Mesa County files a law suit against Odell. But Odell argues that Odell is not in agreement with Mesa County or have not entered into with any contract with the County, so Mesa cannot sue the excavator.
But the court hold that as Mesa County is the third party beneficiary of the contract and have certain rights, Odell is held liable for the loss and should compensate for the loss to the County.

To record the issuance of the bonds at a discount.
2. Total bond interest expense to be recognized over the bonds' life:
= $287,160
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
January 1, 2019
Face value of bonds issued = $640,000
Price of bonds = $570,443
Bonds discount = $69,557 ($640,000 - $570,443)
Coupon interest rate = 8.5%
Market interest rate = 12%
Maturity period = 4 years
Interest payment = semiannual on June 30 and December 31
With straight-line amortization of bonds discount, the semiannual amortization will be = $8,695
Semi-annual interest payment = $27,200 ($640,000 * 4.25%)
Semi-annual interest expense = $35,895 ($27,200 + $8,695)
Annual interest expense = $71,790

Banana Electric is a public company with the following details: Risk free rate 2.0% MRP 5.0% Observed Beta 1.0 Price per share $10.00 Shares outstanding 1,000.0 Debt (market value) 200.0 Cash 1,500.0 Cost of debt 2.0% Tax rate 0.0% Question: Calculate the weighted average cost of capital.
Answer:
6.90 %
Explanation:
The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is the cost of the sources of finance pooled together.
WACC = Cost of equity x Weight of Equity + Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt
where,
Cost of equity = Return from risk free security + Beta x Market Premium
= 2.0% + 1.0 x 5.0%
= 7.0 %
After tax cost of debt = Interest x ( 1 - tax rate)
= 2.0%
Weight of Equity = $10,000 / ($200.0 + $10,000) = 98 %
Weight of Debt = $200.0 / ($200.0 + $10,000) = 1.96 %
therefore,
WACC = 7.0 % x 0.98 + 2.0% x 0.02
= 6.90 %
thus,
The weighted average cost of capital is 6.90 %.
Explain how mixed costs are related to both fixed and variable costs. A. Mixed costs have a fixed portion that is a cost per unit of cost driver activity. Mixed costs also have a variable portion that is usually a cost per time period. B. Mixed costs are the sum of the fixed and variable costs that are related to equipment costs. These mixed costs are a form of committed costs during the production phase. C. A mixed cost is the sum of fixed costs and the portion of variable costs that are related to salaries and wages. These mixed costs are discretionary costs that easily fluctuate and must therefore be kept separate during a production phase. D. A mixed cost has a fixed portion that is usually a cost per time period. A mixed cost also has a variable portion that is a cost per unit of cost driver activity.
Answer:
D. A mixed cost has a fixed portion that is usually a cost per time period. A mixed cost also has a variable portion that is a cost per unit of cost driver activity.
Explanation:
As we know that
The variable cost is the cost that can change when the level of production increase or decrease
The fixed cost is the cost that remains fixed whether the production level increased or not
ANd, the mixed cost includes some part of the variable cost and some part of the fixed cost
So as per the given options, the option D is correct as the mixed cost involved the fixed portion that could be cost per the time. And, it involved the variable portion i.e cost per unit with respect to the cost driver activity

Informal peacemaking and mediation are characterized on the continuum as having __________ personal control by disputants, whereas arbitration and litigation have ________ personal control by the disputants.
Answer:
high; low.
Explanation:
A conflict can be defined as any form of disagreement that arises between two or more parties due to opposing views, opinions, or incompatibility.
CALM is a 4-step process for addressing and defusing conflict.
These four step process for conflict resolution or defusing conflicts includes;
I. Clarify (C): this involves finding out more information about what caused the conflict.
II. Ask (A): you should ask the opposing party about the issues while being polite.
III. Listen (L): listen attentively to get more information.
IV. Move forward (M): do not dwell on the past issue after they have been resolved.
Mediation can be defined as an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) approach which involves an impartial and neutral third party who is saddled with the responsibility of proposing a solution to conflict between two or more parties.
Basically, a mediator is a professional trained in conflict or dispute resolution through the use of effective negotiation techniques and communication strategies. Thus, a neutral third party such as a mediator or negotiator from outside an organization or group, who will hear a conflict case via a nonbinding process should be availed the opportunity to make peace between two or more disagreeing parties.
Generally, the disputants (disagreeing parties) generally have a low personal control over an arbitration and litigation while during an informal peacemaking and mediation process, there is a high level of personal control by disputants on the continuum.
Vaughn Manufacturing incurred the following costs for 84000 units: Variable costs $504000 Fixed costs 392000 Vaughn has received a special order from a foreign company for 2500 units. There is sufficient capacity to fill the order without jeopardizing regular sales. Filling the order will require spending an additional $4500 for shipping. If Vaughn wants to earn $5000 on the order, what should the unit price be?
Answer: $9.80
Explanation:
The unit price to earn $5000 on the order will be calculated thus:
The variable costs for 2500 units will be:
= 504000/84000 × 2500
= 15000
The unit price will now be:
= (15000+4500+5000) / 2500
= 24500 / 2500
= $9.80
The unit price is $9.80
The government uses taxes and subsidies to guide consumption and production decisions.
a. True
b. False
Answer: True
Explanation:
Tax is the amount of money that's paid by an individual or firm to the government. Subsidies are the funds or other forms of assistance that's given by the government to firms in order to help them increase their production and lower the prices of goods.

The future earnings, dividends, and common stock price of Callahan Technologies Inc. are expected to grow 8% per year. Callahan's common stock currently sells for $25.25 per share; its last dividend was $1.50; and it will pay a $1.62 dividend at the end of the current year.
1. Using the DCF approach, what is its cost of common equity?
2. If the firm's beta is 0.80, the risk-free rate is 3%, and the average return on the market is 14%, what will be the firm's cost of common equity using the CAPM approach?
3. If the firm's bonds earn a return of 12%, based on the bond-yield-plus-risk-premium approach, what will be rs?
4. If you have equal confidence in the inputs used for the three approaches, what is your estimate of Callahan's cost of common equity?
Answer:
Find my detailed explanations and answers below
Explanation:
1.
Based on the dividend discount model, the share price is the present value of the expected dividend as shown by the formula below:
share price=expected dividend/(cost of equity-growth rate)
share price=$25.25
expected dividend=$1.62
cost of equity=unknown(let us assume it is K)
growth rate=8%
$25.25=$1.62/K-8%
$25.25*(K-8%)=$1.62
K-8%=($1.62/$25.25)
K=($1.62/$25.25)+8%
K=14.42%
2.
Using the Capital Asset Pricing Model, the formula for cost of equity is as shown thus:
cost of equity=risk-free rate+beta*(market return-risk-free rate)
risk-free rate=3%
beta=0.80
,market return=14%
cost of equity=3%+0.80*(14%-3%)
cost of equity=11.80%
3.
cost of equity=cost of debt+risk premium
cost of debt=12%
risk premium=market return-risk-free rate=14%-3%=11%
cost of equity=12%+11%=23%
If all of the figures are of equal confidence, our cost of equity should be the average of the three
cost of equity=(14.42%+11.80%+23%)/3=16.41%

Costly Corporation plans a new issue of bonds with a par value of $1000, a maturity of 37 years, and an annual coupon rate of 11.0%. Flotation costs associated with a new debt issue would equal 3.0% of the market value of the bonds. Currently, the appropriate discount rate for bonds of firms similar to Costly is 9.0%. The firm's marginal tax rate is 50%. What will the firm's true cost of debt be for this new bond issue
Answer: hello the options related to your question is missing attached below are the missing options
answer : 4.65% ( option 3 )
Explanation:
par value of bond = $1000
Maturity period = 37 years
Annual coupon rate = 11.0%
Floating costs = 3.0% of market value of bonds
Discount rate for bonds of firms similar = 9.0 %
Marginal tax rate = 50%
Determine the firm's true cost of debt
Nper = 37
coupon rate = 11.0%
PMT = face value * coupon rate = 1000 * 11% = $110
present value ( PV ) = $1,176.67
step 2 ; calculate the value of YTM
YTM = 9.29% using excel function: rate( 37, 110, -1176.67, 1000 )
step 3 : calculate True cost of debt
YTM * ( 1 - marginal tax rate )
= 9.29% * ( 1 - 0.5 )
= 4.65%
