Answer:
C. Price =AFC (average fixed cost)
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
In the long run, price = marginal cost = average total cost
if price = average fixed cost in the long run, the firm would be earning a loss and should exit the market
If Galaxia has a GDP that is 10 times larger than Myopia, which country would likely have greater marginal returns to capital based on the law of diminishing returns to capital
Answer:
Myopia
Explanation:
The law of marginal returns states that as the total amount of any production factor increases, the output per unit of that factor will start to decrease. In other words, the marginal output or return from that factor will decrease. E.g. if you invest $100 in a small business, you will require a very high rate of return. If instead, you invest $1,000 in corporate bonds, you will only obtain moderate to low yields.
In this case, $1,000 invested in Myopia (smaller economy) should return a higher yield than $1,000 invested in Galaxia. Also, the $1,000 invested in Myopia will have a larger economic effect than the $1,000 invested in Galaxia.

Clayborn Company deposits all cash receipts on the day they are received and makes all cash payments by check. At the close of business on May 31, its Cash account shows a debit balance of $28,525. Clayborn's May bank statement shows $25,000 on deposit in the bank. Determine the adjusted cash balance using the following information:Deposit in transit $5,200Outstanding checks $4,600Bank service fees, not yet recorded by company $25A NSF check from a customer, not yet recorded by the company $600Required:What should be the adjusted cash balance?
Answer:
$27,900
Explanation:
The computation of adjusted cash balance is shown below:-
Adjusted cash balance = Balance at May 31 - bank service fees - NSF check
= $28,525 - $25 - $600
= $27,900
Therefore for computing the adjusted cash balance we simply deduct the bank service fee and NSF check from balance at may 31
Hence, the adjusted cash balance is $27,900

Explanation:
Giving the following information:
January 520 $ 4,470
February 490 4,260
March 300 2,820
April 500 4,350
May 310 2,960

September 470 4,050
October 350 3,300
November 340 3,160
December 320 3,030
A) To calculate the fixed and variable costs, we need to use the following formulas:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (4,470 - 2,820) / (520 - 300)
Variable cost per unit= $7.5
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 4,470 - (7.5*520)
Fixed costs= $570
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 2,820 - (7.5*300)
Fixed costs= $570
B)
Total cost= 570 + 7.5x
x= hours of mantainance
C) x= 590
Total cost= 570 + 7.5*590
TC= $4,995
D) x= 600
Total cost= 570 + 7.5*600
TC= $5,070

During the period, labor costs incurred on account amounted to $175,000, including $150,000 for production orders and $25,000 for general factory use (indirect labor). In addition, factory overhead charged to production was $32,000. The journal entry to record the direct labor costs is a. Wages Payable 150,000 Work in Process 150,000 b. Wages Payable 175,000 Work in Process 175,000 c. Work in Process 150,000 Wages Payable 150,000 d. Work in Process 175,000 Wages Payable 175,000
Answer:
c. Work in Process 150,000 Wages Payable 150,000
Explanation:
The direct labor costs are $ 150,000 which are debited to work in process and credited by wages payable.
The indirect Labor costs are $ 125,000 which are debited to factory overhead and credited by payroll.
The $32,000 are factory overhead expenses which are charged to factory overhead control account.
Analysis :
a: The first entry is wrong because the work in process must be debited and wages payable credited.
b: The second entry is wrong because the work in process must be debited and wages payable credited. Also the indirect labor is included in the direct labor amount.
c: This entry is correct.
d: The indirect labor is included in the direct labor amount which is again wrong.

Burt has come across an excellent recipe for a new beer, and he and 20 college friends decide to go into business. They form a corporation named New Brew Inc., issuing stock only to the 21 of them and not selling any stock outside the group. The beer is a huge success, and they soon need to expand. They decide to sell stock to members of the public to raise capital. What type of corporation is New Brew before the sale of stock to the public
Answer: Private Limited Company
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Burt has come across an excellent recipe for a new beer, and he and 20 college friends decide to go into business and they form a corporation named New Brew Inc., issuing stock only to the 21 of them and not selling any stock outside the group.
We are further told that the beer is a huge success, and they soon need to expand and decide to sell stock to members of the public to raise capital.
Before the sale of stock to the public, the corporation is a private limited company. The limited number of shareholders in this type of business is 50 and it does not trade its shares publicly.
A bond par value is $1,000 and the coupon rate is 4.3 percent. The bond price was $945.46 at the beginning of the year and $976.26 at the end of the year. The inflation rate for the year was 2.2 percent. What was the bond's real return for the year
Answer:
The bond's real return for the year was 5.49%
Explanation:
In order to calculate the bond's real return for the year we would have to calculate the following formula:
bond's real return for the year=(1+Nominal rate of return)/(1+Inflation) -1
According to the given data Inflation=2.2 percent
To calculate the Nominal rate of return we would have to calculate the following:
Nominal rate of return=(Selling price + Interest coupon - Purchase price)/Purchase price
According to the given data:
Selling price=$976.26
Interest coupon=$43
Purchase price=$945.46
Therefore, Nominal rate of return=($976.26 + $43 - $945.46)/ $945.46
Nominal rate of return=7.81%
Therefore, bond's real return for the year= (1+7.81%)/(1+2.2%) -1
bond's real return for the year=5.49%
The bond's real return for the year was 5.49%
During a Value-Added Flow Analysis, the team studied a process step where they checked the customer's credit. What is the best label for this step?
Answer:
Non-Value-Adding but required.
Explanation:
A Value-Added flow analysis is a graphical visualization tool that is used for identifying non-essential activities or steps within a process. It basically, allows individuals or team to analyze, identify and separate value-adding activities from non-value-adding activities or steps in an organization. This simply means that, it avails an organization or business the ability to separate activities that add value for the user from the activities that are non-value-adding.
The value-adding activities are the steps that adds value to an organization's product or project while the non-value-adding activities are those steps which do not add any value to the organization's product.
In this scenario, during a value-added flow analysis, the team studied a process step where they checked the customer's credit. The best label for this step is Non-value-adding but required.
The process of checking a customer's credit is a necessary task or a required step but in the real sense of lean, it is considered as a non-value-adding activity. This is simply because, it is required to check the customer's credit in order to update the balance sheet and to know the amount that is granted to these customers.
However, it does not add any value to the organization.

1. Write about whether or not you believe productivity would go up, down, or stay the same in an enterprise where the workers are owners versus a traditional workplace. How would this affect GDP, inflation, and other macroeconomic variables
Answer:
Productivy would go up only as long as some of the workers can become competent managers.
Explanation:
The problem with worker ownership of the means of production (the firm), which is what socialism is about, is that workers do not necessarily have managerial skill, and as result, are likely to be unable to run the company efficiently.
In case this does not happen, and the workers manage to run the company well, GDP would increase because productivity in the firm would rise. Inflation would likely fall down because more productivity means more output of goods and services, and inflation tends to have a inverse relationship with output (although it also depends on other variables like the rate of growth of the money supply).
Finally, another macroeconomic variable that would positively affected is employment rate, because a more efficient company would likely require new workers.

Explain how the Federal Reserve Board can increase or decrease the money supply using each of the following tools: reserve requirements, open-market activities, and discount rates
Answer:
Reserve requirements – Reserve requirement increases to decrease the money supply or vice versa.
Open-market activities – the Fed sell the securities to reduce money supply or purchase it to increase the money supply.
Discount rates – Decrease the discount rate to increase the money supply or vice versa.
Explanation:
The Federal Reserve increases or decreases the money supply by using various tools. So in the case of the reserve requirement, the bank increases the percentage of reserve requirement if the Fed wants to decrease the money supply and to increase the money supply it reduces the reserve requirements. In the case of open market operations, the Fed sells securities and bonds in the market in order to reduce the supply of money or to decrease the supply of money it buys the securities from the market.
In the case of a discount rate, the Fed reduces the discount rate to increase the money supply because reducing the discount rate will induce the banks to give more loans. But to decrease the money supply, the Fed increases the discount rate because an increase in the discount rate reduces the ability of banks to give loans.

"An order for a New York Stock Exchange listed issue is routed by the member firm to a Third Market Maker rather than to the exchange floor. This practice is:"

Income
Required:
A. What vołume of snowboards must be sold to ean pretax profits of $30,000?
B. Snowbird's supplier of snowboards is unable to ship more than 500 boards for the upcoming season. Snowbird has been paying the supplier $85 for each snowboard. (The cost of the snowboards is incłuded in variable production costs). More expensive snowboards are available from other manufacturers for conversion. If Snowbird's managers expect to sell more than 500 converted snowboards in the upcoming season, what is the most they would be willing to pay outside suppliers for each additional snowboard?
C. Suppose Snowbird pays the price you calculated in part (B) and sells an additional 200 snowboards. What is the commany's incremental profit on the 200 snowboards?
Answer:
A. 563 snowboards
B. $120
C. Incremental Profit:$32,000
Explanation:
Volume to meet target profit = (Target Profit + Fixed Cost) / Contribution per unit
Calculation of Contribution per unit
Revenue $150,000
Less Variable Costs ;
Variable production costs ($60,000)
Variable selling and administration ($10,000)
Contribution $80,000
Contribution per unit = $80,000 / 500 snowboards
= $160
Volume to meet target profit = ($30,000 + $25,000 + $35,000) / $160
= 562.50 or 563 snowboards
For the Additional Snowboats,Snowbird's managers are willing to pay a price close to cost of making the regular snowboards internally.
Cost of Making :
Variable production costs ($60,000 / 500) = $120
Total Cost = $120
Therefore, Snowbird's managers are willing to pay $120
For Incremental Profit or Loss, prepare a differential analysis for the additional 200 snowboards.
Differential analysis for the additional 200 snowboards
Sales (200 snowboards × $300) $60,000
Less Incremental Production Costs ( 200 × $120) ($24,000)
Less Incremental selling and administration (200 × $20) ($4,000)
Incremental Profit $32,000

Cash $7,954
Merchandise Inventory $246
Calculation =
Nov 5 - Cost of merchandise purchased = No of units x unit price = 850 x 10 =$8500
Nov 7 - Cost of merchandise returned = No of units returned x unt price = 30 x 10 = $300
discount received = Balance from accounts payable x discount rate = (8,500- 300) x 3%= 8200 x 0.03= $246
Cash = Accounts payable - Merchandise Inventory = $8200 - 246 =$7984.

Explanation:
These journal entries record the cash receipt transactions which the company has witnessed as they occur on a daily basis. The procedure is to first identify the two accounts involved in each transaction. Since the Cash account is always receiving the values, and is debited, the accounts giving the values are credited. The general journal records all kinds of business transactions. It is distinguishable from more specialized journals like the cash receipts journal, used for accumulating cash receipts for a particular period, say a day, before the total is posted to the general ledger while the individual accounts are posted to the affected accounts.
Calculate working capital and current ratio Firm O has accounts receivable of $31,000, cash of $14,600, property, plant, and equipment of $320,000, merchandise inventory of $43,200, accounts payable of $22,100, other accrued liabilities of $7,500, common stock of $250,000, and retained earnings of $129,200.
Required:
Calculate Firm Nâs working capital and current ratio.
Answer:
Working capital=$59,200
Current ratio= 3 :1
Explanation:
Current ratio = current assets/ current liabilities
Current ratio = 31000+ 14600+432000 =88800
Current liabilities = 22,100+7,500 = 29600
Working capital = Current asset - current liabilities
= 88800 - 29600=59200
Working capital=$59,200
Current ratio = Current asset /current liabilities
= 88800 /29600 = 3 :1
Current ratio= 3 :1
T-mobile would like to increase spending to acquire customers. Jessica, the head of marketing department, knows that 20% of customers leave company every year based on data and simulation. She does not want to overspend so she decide to acquire customers whose CLV equals or exceeds $5000. If Karly is expected to bring $2000 annual margin, the company should not spend more than ___________________ to acquire her as a new customer. Assume that the company's discount rate is 20% per year. Group of answer choices A. $500 B. $800 C. $1000 D. $1200 E. $1500
Answer:
C. $1000
Explanation:
Given that;
20% of customers leave company every year
Jessica decide to acquire customers whose CLV equals or exceeds $5000
If Karly is expected to bring $2000 annual margin
assuming that the company's discount rate is 20% /year =0.2/ year
The objective is to determine the amount the company will spend to acquire her (i,e Karly) as a new customer.
The amount the company will spend to acquire her as a new customer is :
= amount of CLV × discount rate
= $5000 × 0.2
= $1000
Thus, the company should not spend more than $1000 to acquire her as a new customer
When the end-of-period spreadsheet is complete, the adjustment columns should have:_________. a) total debits greater than total credits if a net income was earned b) total debits greater than total credits if a net loss was incurred c) total debits are equal to total credits d) total credits greater than total debits if a net income was earned
Answer:
C. Total debits are equal to total credits
Explanation:
When the end-of-period spreadsheet is complete, the adjustment columns should have:
Total debits equal to total credits.
When this happens, the trial balance is considered to be balanced.
If revenues are greater than expenses, then income statement will give a credit balance. If expenses are bigger than revenues, your income statement will show a debit balance.
9) A firm is evaluating an investment proposal which has an initial investment of $5,000 and cash flows presently valued at $4,000. The net present value of the investment is __________.
Answer:
-$1,000
Explanation:
A firm has an initial investment of $5,000 when evaluating an investment proposal
The cash flow is presently valued at $4,000
Therefore, the net present value can be calculated as follows
Net present value= present value of cash flow-initial investment
= $4,000-$5,000
= -$1,000
Hence the net present value of the investment is -$1,000
If marginal cost is constant, what happens to a market if it alters from perfect competition to monopoly without any change in the position of the market demand curve or any variation in costs? Select one: a. Consumer surplus increases, producer surplus decreases and a deadweight loss is created. b. Consumer surplus decreases, producer surplus decreases and a deadweight loss is created. c. Consumer surplus increases, producer surplus increases and a deadweight loss is created. d. Consumer surplus decreases, producer surplus increases and a deadweight loss is created.
Answer:
Consumer surplus decreases, producer surplus increases and a deadweight loss is created.
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogeneous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply.
price = marginal cost = marginal revenue
a monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry.
in a monopoly, price is greater than marginal cost
consumer surplus is the difference between the highest amount a consumer is willing to pay for the good and the price of the good
producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least amount the seller is willing to sell the good.
as a result of the transition, prices would rise. this would lead to a decrease in consumer surplus and an increase in producer surplus. deadweight loss is created.
The credit purchase of a new oven for $5,100 was posted to Kitchen Equipment as a $5,100 debit and to Accounts Payable as a $5,100 debit. What effect would this error have on the trial balance
Answer:
The answer is:
The effect on the trial balance is that the total Debit side will be higher the total of the Credit side of the trial balance by $10,200
Explanation:
The effect on the trial balance is that the total Debit side will be higher the total of the Credit side of the trial balance by $10,200.
Two entries of $5,100 each have been entered on the debit column of the trial balance instead of one $5,100 in debit column and the other $5,100 in the credit column. This means the debit side would have $10,200 higher than the credit side since nothing was recorded there.
