Explanation:
Competitive Behaviors:
Cartel: A cartel is an organization of many independent suppliers who agree to set minimum prices for their products and services for the purpose of reducing competition.
Collusion occurs when some organizations stick to some informally-established prices for their products and services without actually formalizing their agreements, unlike a cartel.
Competition enable organizations to outperform one another with low prices and other competitive measures.

Ziva is an organic lettuce farmer, but she also spends part of her day as a professional organizing consultant. As a consultant, Ziva helps people organize their houses. Due to the popularity of her home-organization services, Farmer Ziva has more clients requesting her services than she has time to help if she maintains her farming business. Farmer Ziva charges $25 an hour for her home-organization services. One spring day, Ziva spends 10 hours in her fields planting $130 worth of seeds on her farm. She expects that the seeds she planted will yield $300 worth of lettuce.
Reqired:
What is the total opportunity cost (implicit plus explicit costs) of the day that Farmer Ziva spent in the field planting lettuce?
Answer: $380
Explanation:
Implicit costs are the opportunity costs or rather the benefits foregone by picking the current alternative.
For Ziva this is:
= 25 * 10
= $250 she would have made doing home organization
Explicit cost is the expense incurred:
= $130 worth of seed
Total opportunity cost = 250 + 130
= $380

Suppose that a candy maker owns a building and is renting part of the building's space to a library. Further suppose that because the candy maker is the owner, he has the right to make noise during the day while he makes candy. While the library cannot insist on a quiet environment, it could move to a quieter building. However, rent in the next best building is $300/month more than rent in the noisy building. The candy maker can adopt a new technology that eliminates the noise for $225/month. Given this situation, can the library find a private solution with the candy maker that will make both better off

Congress adopted a law to provide insurance to protect wheat farmers. The agency in charge of the program adopted regulations to govern applications for this insurance. These regulations were published in the Federal Register. Mary applied for insurance but his application did not comply with the regulations. She claimed she was not bound by the regulations because she never knew they had been adopted. Is she bound by the regulations?
Answer:
She is bound by the regulations.
Explanation:
It is Mary's duty to know if the insurance regulations published in the Federal Register have been adopted by Congress. The purpose of using the Federal Register is to inform US citizens of all pending legislations. The publication in the Federal Register is, therefore, considered as a sufficient legal requirement for compliance with public notices.
Ordinary simple interest brings increased revenue to the lender. The general practice
in the United States and in international business transactions is to use ordinary simple
interest; it is employed throughout this Outline, unless specified otherwise.
SOLVED PROBLEMS
3.1 Find (a) the ordinary and (b) the exact simple interest, on a 60-day loan of $1500
at 14%
We have P = 1500 and r = .0145.
Answer:
Exact = $34.5
Ordinary = $35
Explanation:
Given that :
Principal, P = $1500
Interest rate = 14% = 0.14
Number of days = 60
For exact :
Exact simple interest uses 365 days :
Simple interest = principal * rate * time
Simple interest = $1500 * 0.14 * 60 / 365 = 34.520547 = $34.5
For ordinary simple interest :
Simple interest = principal * rate * time
Simple interest = $1500 * 0.14 * 60 / 360 = $35
Alliance Manufacturing Company has two support departments, Maintenance Department and Personnel Department, and two producing departments, X and Y. The Maintenance Department costs of $90,000 are allocated on the basis of standard service hours used. The Personnel Department costs of $13,500 are allocated on the basis of number of employees. The direct costs of Departments X and Y are $27,000 and $45,000, respectively.
Data on standard service hours and number of employees are as follows:
Maint. Person. Dept. Dept.
Dept. Dept. X Y
Standard service hours used 200 150 1,200 600
Number of employees 25 50 75 75
Direct labor hours 250 250 1,000 500
Predetermined overhead rates for Departments X and Y, respectively, are based on direct labor hours. What is the overhead rate for Department X assuming the direct method is used?
a. $27.00
b. $81.00
c. $46.88
d. $93.75
Answer: d. $93.75
Explanation:
First find the total cost of Department X:
= Direct cost + Maintenance cost + Personnel costs
Maintenance cost for Dep. X:
= Standard hours for Maintenance / Total hours * Maintenance costs
= 1,200 / (1,200 + 600) * 90,000
= $60,000
Personnel costs:
= Number of employees in X / Total employees * Personnel costs
= 75 / (75 + 75) * 13,500
= $6,750
Total cost:
= 27,000 + 60,000 + 6,750
= $93,750
Predetermined overhead rates:
= Cost / Direct labor hours
= 93,750 / 1,000 hours
= $93.75
Select the statement that best describes the recommended approach for developing team goals. The highest performing team member develops goals for the team, which the team leader then approves. Individual team members should contribute to and have input over the common team goals. The team leader should determine all goals independently for efficiency, and then share the goals with the team for approval. Long term team goals should be developed by members of the highest level of organizational leadership, while short term goals are usually developed by lower level leaders.
Answer:
Individual team members should contribute to and have input over the common team goals.
Explanation:
A team can be defined as a group of people or set of individuals with various skill set, knowledge and experience coming together to work on a project or task in order to successfully achieve a set goal and objective.
This ultimately implies that, a team comprises of individuals, workers or employees having complementary skills, knowledge and experience needed to execute a project or task successfully. Therefore, workers working as a team usually interact with the other team members and as a result, this enhances performance and strengthen the level of relationship they share.
Hence, the statement that best describes the recommended approach for developing team goals is that individual team members should contribute to and have input over the common team goals, so as to ensure they are all invested in the set goals.
Team goals shouldn't be created at the organizational level but instead it should be at the team level while being approved by the team leader.
In conclusion, team goals shouldn't be developed by any single team member.
A civil engineer who owns his own design/build/operate company purchased a small crane 3 years ago at a cost of $65,000. At that time, it was expected to be used for 10 years and then traded in for its salvage value of $10,000. Due to increased construction activities, the company would prefer to trade for a new, larger crane now, which will cost $80,000. The company estimates that the old crane can be used, if necessary, for another 3 years, at which time it would have a $18,000 estimated market value. Its current market value is estimated to be $31,000, and if it is used for another 3 years, it will have M&O costs (exclusive of operator costs) of $21,000 per year. Determine the values of P, n, S and AOC that should be used for the existing crane in a replacement analysis.
a. The value of P is $_________
b. The value of n is_________
c. The value of S is $__________
d. The AOC value is $ __________per year.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The value of P is $31,000 i.e. equivalent to the estimated value of the current market value
b. The value of n is 3 years
c, The value of S is $18,000 i.e. equivalent to the estimated value of the market
d. The AOC value is $21,000 per year i.e. equivalent to the M&O cost

Answer:
Number of Firms - many
Type of Product - differentiated
Market Model - monopolistic competition
Number of Firms - many
Type of Product - standardised
Market Model - perfect competition
Number of Firms - few
Type of Product - standardised
Market Model - oligopoly
Number of Firms - one
Type of Product - unique
Market Model - monopoly
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.
A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopoly has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants
A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry. there are usually high barriers to entry of firms. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
An example of a monopoly is a utility company
An Oligopoly is when there are few large firms operating in an industry. While, a monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry.
Oligopolies are characterised by:
price setting firms profit maximisation high barriers to entry or exit of firms downward sloping demand curve7200 shares of treasury stock of Coronado, Inc., previously acquired at $13 per share, are sold at $19 per share.

Behavioral economists have discovered that people view a 2% decrease in their income without inflation as unfair but a 3% increase in their income in the presence of 5% inflation as fair. a. What are the nominal and real rates of change in their incomes? Nominal change in income = % Real change in income = % b. What tendency is leading people to feel like the pay decrease is unfair? The cost-benefit principle The opportunity cost principle Shoe-leather costs Money illusion
Answer: See Explanation
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, we should note that the real interest rate is calculated as:
= Nominal interest rate - inflation rate
In this case, the real interest rate will then be:
= 3% - 5%
= -2%
Real change in income = -2%
Nominal change in income = 3%
The tendency that is leading people to feel like the pay decrease is unfair is the money illusion. This simply means that rather than thinking of money based on its purchasing power, that is in real terms, one thinks of it in nominal term which is in its far value form.

Answer:
Ordinary loss = $50,000
Short-term capital loss = $0
Long-term capital loss = $22,990
Explanation:
a. Computation of total loss
Total loss = Acquisition cost - Sales proceeds = $81,100 - $8,110 = $72,990
b. Determination of ordinary loss
Ordinary loss = $50,000
This is because for a single, ordinary loss is limited to $50,000 for stock classified as 1244.
c. Determination of short-term capital loss
Short-term capital loss = $0
Short-term capital loss is $0 because the share was held for more than one year before it was resold.
d. Computation of long-term capital loss
Long-term capital loss = Total loss - Ordinary loss = $72,990 - $50,000 = $22,990

Noncash investing and financing activities refer to transactions that do not involve the direct use or receipt of cash but have significant financial implications for a company.
This statement of cash flows itself typically segregates cash flow information into three sections: operating activities, investing activities and financing activities.
While the noncash activities are not part of the operating, investing or financing activities sections, they are important to provide a comprehensive view of a company's financial health.
It can be included in a separate note or schedule to ensure transparency and proper understanding by stakeholders.
Therefore, the correct option is A.

The division's loss from operations for 2021 was $1,820,000. The division's book value and fair value less cost to sell on December 31 were $3,050,000 and $2,410,000, respectively. What before-tax amount(s) should the company report as loss on discontinued operations in its 2021 income statement
Answer:
$2,460,000 loss
Explanation:
Calculation for What before-tax amount(s) should the company report as loss on discontinued operations in its 2021 income statement
Using this formula
Loss on discontinued operations in its 2021=Division's loss from operations for 2021+ (Division's book value - Fair value )
Let plug in the formula
Loss on discontinued operations in its 2021=$1,820,000+( $3,050,000 -$2,410,000)
Loss on discontinued operations in its 2021=$1,820,000+$640,000
Loss on discontinued operations in its 2021=$2,460,000
Therefore before-tax amount(s) should the company report as loss on discontinued operations in its 2021 income statement is $2,460,000

On January 31, 2020, Astrid Corp. purchased 5,000 shares of Sienna Co. common stock for $15 a share. Astrid accounts for the investment at fair value with adjustments to fair value recorded in net income. On March 15, 2020, Astrid Corp. declared a property dividend of 3,000 shares of Sienna Co. common stock, to be distributed on March 31, 2020. The shares of Sienna Co. were selling at $18 per share on March 15, 2020. The investment has not been adjusted to fair value since its purchase date. On the date of declaration of the property dividend, the Astrid Corp. would:
a. Recognize a liability account of $45,000.
b. Recognize a decrease in assets of $45,000.
c. Recognize an increase in net income of $9,000.
d. Recognize a liability account of $9,000.
Answer:
The correct option is c. Recognize an increase in net income of $9,000.
Explanation:
This can be determined as follows:
Common stock price per share on January 31, 2020 = $15
Common stock price per share on March 31, 2020 = $18
Fair value adjustment per share on March 31, 2020 = Common stock price per share on March 31, 2020 - Common stock price per share on January 31, 2020 = $18 - $15 = $3 gain
Fair value adjustment of declared a property dividend on March 31, 2020 = Number of shares declared as a property dividend on March 31, 2020 * Fair value adjustment per share on March 31, 2020 = $3,000 * $3 = $9,000 gain
Therefore, the correct option is c. Recognize an increase in net income of $9,000.
On September 1, 2020, Coronado Industries issued a note payable to Fidelity Bank in the amount of $2730000, bearing interest at 12%, and payable in three equal annual principal payments of $910000. On this date, the bank's prime rate was 13%. The first payment for interest and principal was made on September 1, 2021. At December 31, 2021, Coronado should record accrued interest payable of
Answer:
$327,600
Explanation:
Time value of Money techniques
We use the borrowing rate instead of the Prime rate to find the accrued interest payable.
PV = $2,730,000
i = 12 %
N = 3
PMT = - $910,000
P/yr = 1
FV = $0
Using the Financial calculator amortization function, interest will be $327,600
therefore,
At December 31, 2021, Coronado should record accrued interest payable of $327,600.

Explanation:
Forrester Company is considering buying new equipment that would increase monthly fixed costs from $360,000 to $445,500 and would decrease the current variable costs of $60 by $15 per unit. The selling price of $100 is not expected to change. Forrester's current break-even sales are $900,000 and current break-even units are 9,000. If Forrester purchases this new equipment, the revised contribution margin ratio would be:
Answer:
Revised contribution margin ratio = 0.55 or 55%
Explanation:
Contribution margin is calculated as the difference between Sales and variable costs. Contribution margin per unit can be calculated by deducting the variable cost per unit from the price per unit. It tells us how much each unit sale is contributing towards covering the overall fixed costs.
Contribution margin = Sales - Variable costs
The contribution margin ratio is when contribution margin is expressed as a percentage of sales. It can be calculated as follows,
Contribution margin ratio = (Selling price per unit - variable cost per unit) / Selling price per unit
Revised variable costs are = 60 - 15 = 45
The revised contribution margin ratio will be,
Revised contribution margin ratio = (100 - 45) / 100
Revised contribution margin ratio = 0.55 or 55%
Suppose the economy of the large country of Hendrix is currently experiencing economic growth and has a trade deficit. Consider the possible effects of this economic growth on the trade balance and place them in the appropriate category. Match the followings.
a. Likely to occur during economic growth and increase the trade deficit.
b. Likely to occur during economic growth and decrease the trade deficit.
c. Not likely to occur during economic growth
1. [imports decrease]
2. [domestic private investment increases]
3. [government borrowing decreases]
4. [government borrowing increases]
5. [private savings decrease]
6. [domestic private investment decreases]
7. [private savings increase]
8. [imports increase]
Answer:
Likely to occur during economic growth and increase the trade deficit.
1. Domestic private investment increases
2. Imports increase
When there is a period of economic growth, people generally have more income in the economy. Their consumption will increase and they will demand more foreign goods as well as domestic. This will lead to imports rising.
Likely to occur during economic growth and decrease the trade deficit.
1. Private saving increase.
2. Government borrowing decrease
With people earning more income, they will be able to save more of that income and because they are not buying with those savings, trade deficit drops.
The government would also not have to borrow as much to prop up the economy as the economy is also doing well. This means less need for foreign funds so a lower trade deficit ensues.
Not likely to occur during economic growth.
1. Imports decrease.
2. Government borrowing increases.
When there is economic growth, it is unusual to see that imports are decreasing.
Government would also not have to borrow as much as the economy is doing well on its own and does not need the government to pump money into it.
