Answer:
a. 4. a nonrival
b. 1. a. No, they will not support the tax.
2. b. This outcome is socially efficient.
Explanation:
When the services provided by a good to one person does not diminish the good's ability to provide those same services for another, the good is said to be non-rival in nature.
If an equal tax is proposed, not everyone would be in support of it because some would be paying more than they value the policeman. An equal tax would be:
= 900 salary / 3 = $300
This is more than the value that both Kris($230) and Kelly ($150) value the police officer at.
This outcome however, is socially efficient because when costs are split evenly, a socially optimal and efficient outcome often results.

A company is considering the purchase of new equipment for $480,000. The projected after-tax net income is $80,000 per year after deducting $160,000 of annual depreciation expense. The equipment has a useful life of 3 years and no salvage value. What is the payback period for the new equipment?
a. 2 years.
b. 3 years.
c. 4 years.
d. 5 years.
e. 6 years.
Answer:
a. 2 years.
Explanation:
Annual cash flow = After-tax net income + Depreciation
Annual cash flow = $80,000 + $160,000
Annual cash flow = $240,000
Payback Period = Cost of Project / Annual cash Flow
Payback Period = $480,000 / $240,000
Payback Period = 2 years
So, the payback period for the new equipment is 2 years.
On January 1, 2019, Woodstock, Inc. purchased a machine costing $40,600. Woodstock also paid $1,300 for transportation and installation. The expected useful life of the machine is 6 years and the residual value is $5,300. If Woodstock uses the straight-line depreciation method, which of the following statements is incorrect?
a. The annual depreciation expense is $6.100.
b. The December 31, 2019 book value is $35,800
c. The December 31, 2020 book value is $24,400
d. The December 31, 2021 accumulated depreciation balance is $18,300
Answer:
Book value (2020)= $29,700
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total purchase price= 40,600 +´1,300= $41,900
Useful life= 6 years
Residual value= $5,300
To determine which option is incorrect, we are going to calculate the annual depreciation, book value, and accumulated depreciation:
Annual depreciation= (Total purchase price - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (41,900 - 5,300) / 6
Annual depreciation= $6,100
Accumulated depreciation (2021)= 6,100*3= $18,300
Book value (2019)= 41,900 - 6,100= $35,800
Book value (2020)= 35,800 - 6,100= $29,700
The Varone Company makes a single product called a Hom. The company has the capacity to produce 40,000 Homs per year. Per unit costs to produce and sell one Hom at that activity level are: Direct materials $20 Direct labor $10 Variable manufacturing overhead $5 Fixed manufacturing overhead $7 Variable selling expense $8 Fixed selling expense $2 The regular selling price for one Hom is $60. A special order has been received at Varone from the Fairview Company to purchase 8,000 Homs next year at 15% off the regular selling price. If this special order were accepted, the variable selling expense would be reduced by 25%. However, Varone would have to purchase a specialized machine to engrave the Fairview name on each Hom in the special order. This machine would cost $10,800 and it would have no use after the special order was filled. The total fixed costs, both manufacturing and selling, are constant within the relevant range of 30,000 to 40,000 Homs per year. Assume direct labor is a variable cost. If Varone has an opportunity to sell 37,960 Homs next year through regular channels and the special order is accepted for 20% off the regular selling price, the effect on net operating income next year due to accepting this order would be:________
a. $33,320 decrease
b. $35,480 decrease
c. $33,320 increase
d. $35,480 increase
Answer:
$69,200 Increase
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what the effect on net operating income next year due to accepting this order would be:
Incremental revenue $408,000
(8,000 units × $51 per unit)
[$60 × (1 − 15%) = $51]
Less incremental costs:
Direct materials $160,000
(8,000 units × $20 per unit)
Direct labor $80,000
(8,000 unit × $10 per unit)
Variable manufacturing overhead $40,000
(8,000 units × $5per unit)
Variable selling expense $48,000
[$8 × (1 − 25%) = $6]
(8,000 units × $6 per unit)
Special machine $10,800
Total incremental cost $338,800
Incremental net operating income$69,200
($408,000-$338,800)
Therefore the effect on net operating income next year due to accepting this order would be:
$69,200 Increase

Ornamental sculptures MFG. manufactures garden sculptures. Each sculpture requires 8 pounds of direct materials at a cost of $2 per pound and 0.4 direct labor hours at a rate of $15 per hour. Variable manufacturing overhead is charged at a rate of $3 per direct labor hour. Fixed manufacturing overhead is $3,900 per month. THe company's policy is to maintain direct materials inventory equal to 20% of the next month's materials requirement. At the end of february the company had 6,180 pounds of direct materials in inventory. The company production budget reports the following:
Production Budget March April May
Units to be produced 4,100 4,700 5,500
Required:
Prepare direct materials budgets for March and April.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Each sculpture requires 8 pounds of direct materials for $2 per pound
The company's policy is to maintain direct materials inventory equal to 20% of the next month's materials requirement.
Beginning inventory= 6,180 pounds
To calculate direct material purchases, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
March:
Purchases= 4,100*8 + (4,700*8)*0.2 - 6,180
Purchases= 34,140 pounds
Direct material busget= 34,140*2= $68,280
April:
Purchases= 4,700*8 + (5,500*8)*0.2 - 7,520
Purchases= 38,880
Direct material budget= 38,880*2= $77,760

Project charter consists of a map that contains rules, regulations, policies, procedure and responsibility so it need inputs. It is just like user manual.
WBS is Work Breakdown Structure which is the tool that utilizes the technique and is one of the most important project management documents.
When project starts, eventually it aims for good results.
When some project is not working good, then we have to do that project again with new processes and procedures until we get the desired result.
The master budget of Tenenbaum Ltd. shows that the planned activity level for next year is expected to be 30,000 machine hours. At this level of activity, the following manufacturing overhead costs are expected:
Indirect labor................................................. $720,000
Machine supplies..........................................180,000
Indirect materials..........................................210,000
Depreciation on factory building..................150,000
Total manufacturing overhead.....................$1,260,000
A flexible budget for a level of activity of 40,000 machine hours would show total manufacturing overhead costs of:________
Answer:
$1,630,000
Explanation:
The computation of the flexible budget for a level of activity of 40,000 machine hours would show total manufacturing overhead costs is shown below:-
Variable overhead for 30,000 machine hours
= $1,260,000 - $150,000 = $1,110,000
Variable overhead for 40,000 machine hours
= ($1,110,000 / 30,000) × 40,000 = $1,480,000 (a)
Fixed overhead = Depreciation = $150,000 (b)
Total manufacturing Overhead (a + b)
= $14,80,000 + $150,000
= $1,630,000

Discuss, what international business is, why and how it differs from domestic business, why it is important, and its historical development?
Answer:
An international business can be understood as the expansion of business beyond your country. Organizations look for economic opportunities in other countries, to achieve competitive and profitable advantages, to increase their value and their market strength.
This is a strategy that includes greater responsibilities than managing a national business, due to the fact that an international business includes adapting to a different culture, legislation and preferences, which means greater challenges and greater capacity for the organization to adapt its values, products and services the culture and local rules, in order to be well accepted and well positioned in the international market.
International business was only possible due to new technologies, which allowed individuals to move and communicate more quickly, which enabled this international expansion in a more dynamic way and management in real time, regardless of geographic distance.
Currently we live in the era of globalization, where there is a great economic interaction between the countries of the world, in an ultra-competitive environment where each organization seeks the best way to generate value and economic results.

net cash provided by operating activities is $360,200
Nick and Rosa are going to a music festival and are debating whether they should buy food at the festival or bring sandwiches. They only have $7 each to spend on food but would prefer the convenience of buying sandwiches at the festival to the task of preparing them beforehand. If they bring sandwiches, they will eat them regardless of how much food costs at the festival (having already expended the effort of preparing the sandwiches), and will get a utility of 10. Alternatively, if they don't bring sandwiches and are able to buy food for $7 or less, they will get utility of 20. However, if food at the festival costs more than $7 and they don't get to eat, they will get a utility of 0. The numbers in the following table reflect the utility Nick and Rosa get under each of the described outcomes.
Food Price
Options More than $7 $7 or less
Try to buy food 0 20
Bring sandwithces 10 10
If the probability that food costs more than $7 is 50%, then the expected value of utility from not preparing food is ________ , and the expected
value of utility from bringing sandwiches is___________ .
NoW, suppose Nick and Rosa a third if food at festival Costs more than $7, buy sandwiches less $7 at a deli and bring them back to the festival. If Nia and Rosa Can Choose to try to buy food at the festival, knowing they have the to buy at the deli, they now get either a utility Of 10 (if food costs more than $7 and they have to leave the festival to go to the deli) or a utility of 20 (if costs $7 or less and they can buy it at festival).
Assuming the same probabilities as before, the expected value of utility from not preparing food (with the option to convert to buying sandwiches at the deli) is ____________ therefore, the value Of the real option is ___________
Answer:
1) 10 , 10
2) 15 , 20
Explanation:
1) P( food > $7 ) = 50% = 0.5
P ( food < $7 ) = 0.5
Expected value of utility for not preparing food
= 0.5( 0 ) + 0.5(20 )
= 10
Expected value of utility from bring sandwiches
= 0.5( 10 ) + 0.5(10)
= 5 + 5 = 10
2) Considering the third option
Value of utility from not preparing food with option to convert to buying sandwiches at deli
= 0.5 ( 10 ) + 0.5(20 )
= 5 + 10 = 15
The Value of the real Option = 20
Answer:
10, 10
15, 20
Explanation:
p (food > $7) = 50% = 0.5
p (food < $7) = 0.5
= 0.5 (0) + 0.5 (20)
=10
=0.5 (10) + 0.5(10)
= 5+5=10
2. 0.5 (10) + 0.5 (20)
= 5+10 = 15
=20

The following are Hibiscus Company's cost of making and selling an item:
Description Amount per unit
Direct materials $9
Direct labor $4
Variable manufacturing overhead $2
Fixed manufacturing overhead $5
Variable selling and administrative $2
Fixed selling and administrative $8
A one-time only special order has been received for 600 units. The company has capacity to accept the oder and it would not affect regular sales. The sales price for the special order is 26 per unit. Total fixed costs would not be affected by this order. The variable selling and administrative costs would have to be incurred for this special order. The order would require an additional $3 per unit for specialized materials and a new machine that costs $2,000. What is the financial advantage or disadvantage of accepting the special order?
Answer:
$2,800 financial advantage
Explanation:
We consider incremental costs and revenues in our analysis for the effects of accepting the special order.
Analysis of effects of accepting the special order :
Sales - Incremental (600 units x $26) $15,600
Less Incremental Costs :
Direct materials ($9 x 600 units) ($5,400)
Direct labor ($4 x 600 units) ($2,400)
Variable manufacturing overhead ($2 x 600 units) ($1,200)
Specialized materials ($3 x 600 units) ($1,800)
Machine Cost ($2,000)
Financial Advantage / (Disadvantage) $2,800
therefore,
the financial advantage of accepting the special order is $2,800
Risk and Return. We have seen that over long periods of time, stock investments have tended to substantially outperform bond investments. However, it is not at all uncommon to observe investors with long horizons holding entirely bonds. Are such investors irrational?
Answer:
No they are not irrational. They are risk averse
Explanation:
As a general rule the higher the returns on an investment the higher the risk of losing one's funds invested, and the lower the returns the lower the risk.
Bonds have lower returns than stocks but for investors that have long horizon holdings they would prefer investing in bonds.
This is because they are risk averse and the risk in bonds is low.
They are willing to make low returns over a long time than to risk losing their investment on stocks that are riskier
You want to invest in a riskless project in Sweden. The project has an initial cost of SKr3.86 million and is expected to produce cash Inflows of SKrl.76 million a year for three years. The project will be worthless after three years. The expected inflation rate in Sweden is 3.2 percent while It is 2.8 percent In the U.S. A risk-free security is paying 4.1 percent In the U.S. The current spot rate is $1 = SKr7.7274. What is the net present value of this project in Swedish krona if the International Fisher effect applies?
a. SKr1, 087, 561
b. SKr958, 029
c. SKr701, 458
d. SKr823, 333
e. SKr978, 177
Answer:
The net present value of this project in Swedish krona if the International Fisher effect applies is:
e. SKr978, 177
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Initial project cost = SKr 3.86 million
Annual cash inflows = SKr 1.76 million
Project duration = 3 years
Expected inflation rate in Sweden = 3.2%
Expected inflation rate in the U.S. = 2.8%
Risk-free security interest rate in the U.S. = 4.1%
Interest rate in Sweden = 4.5% (4.1% + 3.2% - 2.8%)
Current spot rate = $1 to SKr 7.7274
The present value of the cash inflows = SKr4,838,177.26
The present value of initial outflows = SKr3,860,000.00
Net present value of the project = SKr978,177.26
From an online financial calculator, the present value of the cash inflows:
N (# of periods) 3
I/Y (Interest per year) 4.5
PMT (Periodic Payment) 1760000
FV (Future Value) 0
Results:
PV = SKr4,838,177.26
Sum of all periodic payments = SKr5,280,000.00
Total Interest = SKr441,822.74
