Answer:
Farmers will not try to reduce the supply.
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand is the responsiveness of demand against the change in the price of the good.
As per the given data
Elasticity of demand = 0.7
Change in price = $2
It is assumed that the Price was $10
Change in price = $2 / $10 = 0.20
Use the following formula to calculate the change in quatity demand
Elasticity of demand = Change in quantity demand / Change in price
Placing values in the formula
0.7 = Change in quantity demand / 0.2
Change in quantity demand = 0.7 x 0.2 = 0.14 = 14%
As the price of the wheat increased by 20% the demand is decreased by 14%.
In this situation reducing the supply to increase the supply is not feasible because with the increase in price the demand for the wheat will fall which will conflict with their objective. It will reduce the revenue of the farmer's supply, in this case, the farmers try to reduce the supply more than will reduce their revenue more and it will make a loss for the farmers.
A professional who searches for mispriced securities in specific areas such as merger-target stocks, rather than one who seeks strict (risk-free) arbitrage opportunities is engaged in
Answer:
Risk arbitrage.
Explanation:
This strategy in business dealings is seen to be forced up when a form of security is been sold from a firm to another. This is done with its value been raised very high; not minding the risk been involved. It can also be described as a form of exploitation of the market especially when seen to be imbalanced. Especially in the trade of stocks; here, these stocks are been bought during these imbalance period and been given out for sale at high and outrageous prices.
You purchase 150 shares for $70 a share ($10,500), and after a year the price rises to $80. Calculate the percentage return on your investment if you bought the stock on margin and the margin requirement was (ignore commissions, dividends, and interest expense):
Answer:
57.14%
Explanation:
Missing word "25 percent."
Gain on the stock = (150*$80) - $10,500
Gain on the stock = $ 12,000 - $10,500
Gain on the stock = $1,500
If Margin requirement is 25%, The Margin = 10,500*25% = $2,625
Return on Investment = $1,500/$2,625 * 100 = 0.571429 * 100 = 57.1429% = 57.14%

In general, the production and use of capital ________ the productivity of labor and normally ________ wages. A) enhances; drives up B) enhances; drives down C) diminishes; drives down D) has no effect on; has no effect on
Answer: B. enhances; drives down
Explanation:
Capital are the resources that are used by an organization which can bring about an increase in the production of such organization. Organizations undertake capital investment in order to enhance productivity and also increase revenue.
In such cases, this helps in driving down wages. This is because when an organization uses more of capital in its productive activities, less of labor is required which can help drive down wages.

OUTPUTS
Completed and transferred 15,600 $302,952
Ending Work in Process 5,300 $90,185
Total 20,900 $393,137
Explanation:
Note : I will use the FIFO method for this question since the information given is only suitable for this method.
Assembly Department
First, calculate the equivalent units of production with respect to materials and conversion costs :
1.Materials
To finish Opening Work In Process (4,100x0%) = 0
Started and Completed ((15,600 - 4,100) x100%) = 11,500
Ending Work In Process (5,300x 100%) = 5,300
Equivalent units with respect to materials = 16,800
2.Conversion costs
To finish Opening Work In Process (4,100x60%) = 2,460
Started and Completed ((15,600 - 4,100) x100%) = 11,500
Ending Work In Process (5,300x 80%) = 4,240
Equivalent units with respect to conversion costs = 19,840
Next, calculate the total costs with respect to materials and conversion costs :
1. Materials
FIFO method only accounts for costs incurred during the period
Costs Incurred during the period = $124,320
Total Material costs = $124,320
2. Conversion Costs
FIFO method only accounts for costs incurred during the period
Costs Incurred during the period ($140,000 + $98,420) = $238,420
Total Conversion costs = $238,420
Next, calculate the cost per equivalent unit of materials, conversion costs and in total
1. Materials
Cost per equivalent = Total Costs / Total Equivalent Units
Therefore,
Cost per equivalent = $124,320/ 16,800
= $7.40
2. Conversion Costs
Cost per equivalent = Total Costs / Total Equivalent Units
Therefore,
Cost per equivalent = $238,420/ 19,840
= $12.02
3. Total
Total unit cost = materials unit cost + Conversion unit cost
= $7.40 + $12.02
= $19.42
Finally, calculate the total cost of units completed and transferred out and units still in process
1. units completed and transferred out
Total cost = units completed and transferred out x total unit cost
= 15,600 units x $19.42
= $302,952
2. units still in process
Total cost = material costs + conversion costs
= 5,300 x $7.40 + 4,240 x $12.02
= $90,184.80

Step-By Step Explanation:
Nation Furniture is a furniture manufacturing facility. Its workers just signed a two-year contract. The price level in the economy has increased. Answer the following set of questions based on the short run:
a. if the price level increases, input prices will: ______
1. increase.
2. remain constant.
3. decrease.
b. if the price level increases, output prices will:_________
1. decrease.
2. remain constant.
3. increase.
c. in the short run, the firm will experience a(n): _________
1. increase in economic profits.
2. decrease in economic profits.
3. increase in economic losses.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. Remain constant
From the question, we are informed that Nation Furniture workers just signed a two-year contract. This then means that even though there is an increase in price level, it doesn't affect the prices of inputs as they still remain constant.
b. Increase
We should note that when there is a rise in the price level, this will also bring about an increase in the prices of the output.
c. Increase in economic profit
The firm will have a rise in the economic profit in the short run. There'll be an increase in revenue which ultimately increase economic profit as well since input prices remain the same.

Carlin Company, which uses net present value to analyze Investments, requires a 10% minimum rate of return. A staff assistant recently calculated a $500,000 machine's net present value to be $86,400, excluding the impact of straight-line depreciation
6.105 FV of 1 (i = 100,-5): 1.611
TV of a series of $i cash flows ( - 108, n. 5):
PV of $1 (1 - 108; n = 5) 0.621
PV of a series of $1 cash flown (1 101, n = 5) 3.791 #
If Carlin Ignores income taxes and the machine is expected to have a five-year service life, the correct net present value of the machine would be:
a) $292,700
b) $186,400
c) $86,400
Answer: c) $86,400
Explanation:
Depreciation on an asset reduces the amount of taxes that need to be paid and this is the main reason assets are depreciated.
If Carlin is going to ignore income taxes then there is no need to account for the impact of depreciation on the asset when calculating its present value.
The present value will therefore be the same as the amount calculated by the assistant at $86,400.

Houston-based Advanced Electronics manufactures audio speakers for desktop computers. The following data relate to the period just ended when the company produced and sold 41,000 speaker sets:
Sales $3,362,000
Variable costs 840,500
Fixed costs 2,310,000
Management is considering relocating its manufacturing facilities to northern Mexico to reduce costs. Variable costs are expected to average $20.00 per set; annual fixed costs are anticipated to be $1,986,000.
Required:
1. Calculate the company’s current income and determine the level of dollar sales needed to double that figure, assuming that manufacturing operations remain in the United States.
2. Determine the break-even point in speaker sets if operations are shifted to Mexico.
3. Assume that management desires to achieve the Mexican break-even point; however, operations will remain in the United States.

B) Effect of an increase in fixed administration costs on the unit contribution margin.
C) Effect of an increase in the unit contribution margin on net income.
D) Effect of a decrease in the number of units sold on the breakeven point.
Answer:
1. $211,500 and $3,644,000
2. 32,033 speaker sets (Mexican)
3. 32,033 speaker sets (Mexican required Break even)
4. $323,954 decrease
5. $11,11 decrease
6. Determining Effects :
A. decrease
B. no effect
C. increase
D. no effect
Explanation:
Part 1
a
Income = Contribution (Sales - Variable Costs) - Fixed Costs
therefore,
Income = $3,362,000 - $840,500 - $2,310,000 = $211,500
b
Double the figure of income = $211,500 x 2 = $423,000
Sales to achieve target profit = Target Profit + Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution Margin
where,
Contribution Margin = Contribution (Sales - Variable Costs) ÷ Sales
= ($3,362,000 - $840,500) ÷ $3,362,000
= 0.75
therefore,
Sales to achieve $423,000 profit = ($423,000 + $2,310,000) ÷ 0.75
= $3,644,000
Part 2
Break even point (speaker sets) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit
where,
Fixed Cost = $1,986,000
Contribution per unit = ($3,362,000 / 41,000) - $20.00 = $62.00
therefore,
Break even point (speaker sets) = $1,986,000 ÷ $62.00
= 32,033 speaker sets
Part 3
Mexico :
Break even point (speaker sets) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit
where,
Fixed Cost = $1,986,000
Contribution per unit = ($3,362,000 / 41,000) - $20.00 = $62.00
therefore,
Break even point (speaker sets) = $1,986,000 ÷ $62.00
= 32,033 speaker sets
United States :
Break even point (speaker sets) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit
where,
Fixed Cost = $2,310,000
Contribution per unit = ($3,362,000 / 41,000) - ($840,500 / 41,000) = $61.50
therefore,
Break even point (speaker sets) = $2,310,000 ÷ $61.50
= 37,561 speaker sets
Part 4
Break even point (speaker sets) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit
where,
US Fixed Cost = $2,310,000
Fixed Cost Required = Unknown
Contribution per unit = $82.00 - $20.00 = $62.00
therefore,
Fixed Cost = Breakeven Point x Contribution per unit
= 32,033 speaker sets x $62.00
= $1,986,046
Change in Fixed Costs = $323,954 decrease ($2,310,000 - $1,986,046)
Part 5
Break even point (speaker sets) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit
where,
US Fixed Cost = $2,310,000
US Contribution per unit = $82.00 - $20.00 = $62.00
Contribution per unit = $82.00 - V = Unknown
therefore,
Contribution per unit = Fixed Costs ÷ Breakeven point
= $2,310,000 ÷ 32,033 speaker sets
= $73.11
Variable Cost = Selling Price - Contribution per unit
= $82.00 - $73.11
= $8.89
Change in Variable Cost = $11,11 decrease ($20.00 - $8.89)

Answer:
The objective function is:
Minimization (Z) = 0.53Xae + 0.21Xaf + 0.52Xag + 0.41Xah + 0.31Xbe + 0.37Xbf + 0.41Xbg + 0.28Xbh + 0.56Xce + 0.32Xcf + 0.56Xcg + 0.33Xch + 0.41Xde + 0.54Xdf + 0.34Xdg + 0.52Xdh
Explanation:
Solution:
We are asked to find the value of the objective function in this data given.
So,
Let Xae be the number of units shipping from warehouse A to city E.
Similarly, we have Xaf, Xag, Xah
Let Xbe be the number of units shipping from warehouse B to city E .
Similarly, we have Xbf, Xbg, Xbh
Let Xce be the number of units shipping from warehouse C to city E .
Similarly, we have Xcf, Xcg, Xch
Let Xde be the number of units shipping from warehouse D to city E .
Similarly, we have Xdf, Xdg, Xdh
Furthermore,
0.53 is the shipping cost of 1 unit from warehouse A to City E.
So, the shipping cost of Xae units from warehouse A to City E is 0.53Xae.
Similarly, we have other corresponding costs.
Hence,
The objective function is:
Minimization (Z) = 0.53Xae + 0.21Xaf + 0.52Xag + 0.41Xah + 0.31Xbe + 0.37Xbf + 0.41Xbg + 0.28Xbh + 0.56Xce + 0.32Xcf + 0.56Xcg + 0.33Xch + 0.41Xde + 0.54Xdf + 0.34Xdg + 0.52Xdh

a. The summary of significant accounting policies is located in note 2 to the financial statements. Locate the section on property and equipment. What depreciation method does American Eagle use
Answer:
American Eagle uses the straight-line depreciation method in depreciating its property, plant, and equipment.
Explanation:
The straight-line depreciation method involves applying the same rate on the initial depreciable amount or the same amount of depreciation expense throughout the asset's useful life. For American Eagle, this method involves the estimation of the useful life of each property, plant, and equipment class. The company has established that its buildings have 25 years useful life, leasehold improvements 10 years, fixtures and equipment 5 years, while information technology assets have 3 to 5 years. This implies that after deducting any estimated salvage value, the depreciable amount (basis) of the asset is divided by the number of estimated useful life. For building, this can also be expressed in percentage terms as 4% (100/25); for leasehold improvements as 10% (100/10); for fixtures and equipment as 20% (100/5); and same for information technology.

Internal Controls are tested by audit team through entering dummy entries and identifying the system restrictions. Observing the management behavior towards controls and investigating any flaw in the internal control.
Explanation:
Audit is a technical process as it involves detailed analysis of the controls that are in place in the organization. The management behavior towards those controls are very important as it is the management responsibility to ensure that all employees follow the internal controls and there is no breach in the control. The financial statements should be prepared in the finance department with only the relevant staff and there should not be access given to employees of other department so that there can be less risk for material misstatement.
Swann Company sold a delivery truck on April 1, 2016. Swann had acquired the truck on January 1, 2012, for $45,500. At acquisition, Swann had estimated that the truck would have an estimated life of 5 years and a residual value of $3,000. At December 31, 2015, the truck had a book value of $11,500. Required: 1. Prepare any necessary journal entries to record the sale of the truck, assuming it sold for: a. $11,125 b. $7,525 2. How should the gain or loss on disposal be reported on the income statement
Answer:
1.
Journal Entries
a.
Dr. Cash_________________$11,125
Dr. Accumulated Depreciation $36,125
Cr. Truck ________________ $45,500
Cr. Gain on Disposal ________$1,750
b.
Dr. Cash_________________$7,525
Dr. Loss on Disposal ________$1,850
Dr. Accumulated Depreciation $36,125
Cr. Truck ________________ $45,500
2.
a.
The gain is reported as a realized gain in the income statement after operating income for the period.
b.
The loss is reported as a realized loss in the income statement after operating income for the period.
Explanation:
1.
We need to calculate the depreciation for the 3 months of 2016.
Depreciation for the period = ( ( Initial cost -Residual Value ) / Useful life ) x Time Fraction = ( ( $45,500 -$3,000 ) / 5 ) x 3/12 = $2,125
Book Value on April 1, 2016 = Book Value on December 31, 2015 - Depreciation for 2016 = $11,500 - $2,125 = $9,375
Accumulated Depreciation = Initial cost - Book value = $45,500 - $9,375 = $36,125
Now compare The bok value o sale price to calculate the gain or losss
a.
Gain = Sale Value - Book value = $11,125 - $9,375 = $1,750
b.
Loss = Book Value - Sale value = $9,375 - $7,525 = $1,850

On average, workers in Australia can produce 3 units of agriculture output or 9 units of manufacturing output per day. In Guyana, workers can produce 4 units of agriculture or 8 units of manufacturing output per day.
1. What is the opportunity cost of agricultural output in Canada? units of manufacturing output?
2. What is the opportunity cost of agricultural output in Guyana? units of manufacturing output?
Answer:
3 UNITS OF MANUFACTURING OUTPUT
2 units of manufacturing output?
Explanation:
Opportunity cost or implicit is the cost of the option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives.
the opportunity cost of agricultural output in Australia = manufacturing output per day / agricultural output
= 9/3 = 3
the opportunity cost of agricultural output in Guyana = manufacturing output per day / agricultural output
= 8/4 = 2
The Kreidler Kids company can produce swing sets for $1,000. Kendra wants a new swing set for her children and will pay $1,500 for it. Kendra finds the swing set she wants and pays $1,500 for it from the Kreidler Kids company. The Kreidler Kids company has
Answer:
The Kreidler Kids company has a producer surplus of $500.
Explanation:
Producer surplus can be described or calculated as the amount a producer is willing to supply or sell goods and the actual amount the supplier received.
For this question, the producer surplus can therefore be calculated as follows:
The amount Kreidler Kids company can produce swing sets = $1,000
The amount paid by Kendra for the the swing set = $1,500
Producer surplus = The amount paid by Kendra for the the swing set - The amount Kreidler Kids company can produce swing sets = $1,500 - $1,000 = $500
Therfore, the Kreidler Kids company has a producer surplus of $500.

In 2018 the NFL football team, the Carolina Panthers, have an owner accused of sexual harassment. The fans’ demand for team jerseys has dropped with the scandal this year. At about the same time the cost to manufacture the jerseys in China increased by 20%. Describe what the new equilibrium price and quantity is like compared with the prior year’s Panthers’ jersey market before the scandal and increased manufacturing costs?
Question Completion with Options:
1. The demand curve shifted to the right, the supply curve shifted to the left, the equilibrium price and quantity increased from 2017
2. Supply and demand curves have shifted to the left and the equilibrium quantity has decreased from 2017 but it is impossible to determine the effect on the equilibrium price.
3. The demand curve shifted to the left, the supply curve shifted to the right, the equilibrium price and quantity increased from 2017 Od.
4. Supply and demand curves have shifted to the left and the equilibrium price and quantity for Panthers' jersey market has decreased since 2017.
Answer:
This is how the new equilibrium price and quantity are like compared with the prior year’s Panthers’ jersey market before the scandal and increased manufacturing costs:
2. Supply and demand curves have shifted to the left and the equilibrium quantity has decreased from 2017 but it is impossible to determine the effect on the equilibrium price.
Explanation:
The scenario presents a decrease in supply of the jersey caused by the increase in the cost of production by 20%. This is why supply shifted to the left. Based on this factor, price is supposed to increase but this does not reflect on the data because the scandal also dampened demand. No wonder demand also shifted to the left, resulting in further decrease. These two leftward shifts caused the equilibrium quantity to decrease. However, we cannot establish whether the price decreased as well because it is supposed to increase due to the increased production cost in China.
Johnson Inc. is a job-order manufacturing company that uses a predetermined overhead rate, based on direct labor hours, to apply overhead to individual jobs.
For the current year, estimated direct labor hours are 95,000 and estimated factory overhead is $617,500.
The following information is for September of the current year:
September 1, inventories:
Materials inventory $ 7,500
Work-in-process inventory (All Job A) 31,200
Finished goods inventory 67,000
Material purchases 104,000
Direct materials requisitioned:
Job A 65,000
Job B 33,500
Direct labor hours:
Job A 4,200
Job B 3,500
Labor costs incurred;
Direct labor ($8.50/hour) 65,450
Indirect labor 13,500
Supervisory salaries 6,000
Rental costs:
Factory 7,000
Administrative offices 1,800
Total equipment depreciation costs:
Factory 7,500
Administrative offices 1,600
Indirect materials used 12,000
Job A was completed during September and Job B was started but not finished.
Required:
1. What is the total cost of Job A?
2. What is the total factory overhead applied during September?
3. What is the over-applied or under-applied overhead for September?
Answer:
1. $159,200
2. $50,050
3. $4,050 overapplied
Explanation:
1. Calculation for The total cost of Job A?
TOTAL COST OF JOB A
Direct materials requisitioned $ 65,000
Add Direct labor costs $ 35,700
(4,200 hours * $ 8.50 per hour)
Add Applied overheads $ 27,300
(4,200 hours * $ 6.50 per hour)
($617,500/95,000=$ 6.50 per hour)
Add Work in process $ 31,200
Total Cost of Job A $ 159,200
Therefore Total Cost of Job A will be $ 159,200
2. Calculation for What is the total factory overhead applied during September
First step is to calculate Predetermined Overhead Rate
Predetermined Overhead Rate=$617,500/95,000
Predetermined Overhead Rate=$ 6.50 per hour
Now let calculate the total factory overhead applied
Total factory overhead applied =(Job A 4,200+Job B 3,500) × ($6.50)
Total factory overhead applied =7,700×$6.50
Total factory overhead applied =$50,050
Therefore the total factory overhead applied will be $50,050
3. Calculation for What is the over-applied or under-applied overhead for September
First step is to calculate Actual factory overhead
Actual factory overhead :
Indirect labor 13,500
Supervisory salaries 6,000
Rental costs:Factory 7,000
Factory 7,500
Indirect materials used 12,000
Actual factory overhead =$46,000
Second step is to calculate Predetermined Overhead Rate
Predetermined Overhead Rate=$617,500/95,000
Predetermined Overhead Rate=$ 6.50 per hour
Now let calculate the over-applied or under-applied overhead for September
Over-applied or under-applied overhead =(Job A 4,200+Job B 3,500*$ 6.50 per )-$46,000
Over-applied or under-applied overhead =(7,700*$6.50)-$46,000
Over-applied or under-applied overhead =$50,050-$46,000
Over-applied or under-applied overhead =$4,050 overapplied
Therefore the over-applied for September is $4,050
