Answer:
supply curve for electric and hybrid autos will shift rightward.
Explanation:
In Economics, there are primarily two (2) factors which affect the availability and the price at which goods and services are sold or provided, these are demand and supply.
The law of demand states that, the higher the demand for goods and services, the higher the price it would be sold all things being equal. On the other hand, law of supply states that the higher the price of goods and services, the lower the supply.
In order to understand both short-run economic fluctuations and how the economy move from short to long run, we need the aggregate supply and aggregate demand model.
In this scenario, the battery packs used in electric and hybrid automobiles are one of the largest cost components for manufacturing these cars. As the price of these batteries decline, we expect that the supply curve for electric and hybrid autos will shift rightward i.e it would increase.
In the short-run, a rightward shift in the aggregate supply (AS) curve causes output to increase and result in a price fall (lower price).
Eastman Publishing Company is considering publishing an electronic textbook about spreadsheet applications for business. The fixed cost of manuscript preparation, textbook design, and web-site construction is estimated to be $150,000. Variable processing costs are estimated to be $7 per book. The publisher plans to sell single-user access to the book for $49. Through a series of web-based experiments, Eastman has created a predictive model that estimates demand as a function of price. The predictive model is demand
Question Completion:
What profit can be anticipated with a demand of 3,400 copies?
With a demand of 3,400 copies, what is the access price per copy that the publisher must charge to break even?
Answer:
Eastman Publishing Company
a) A loss of $7,200 can be anticipated with a demand of 3,400.
b) The access price per copy with a demand of 3,400 copies should be $51.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Fixed cost = $150,000
Variable costs per book = $7
Selling price of single-user access per book = $49
Demand = 3,400 copies
Profit based on a demand of 3,400 copies:
Income Statement:
Sales Revenue ($49 *3,400) $166,600
Variable costs ($7 * 3,400) 23,400
Contribution margin $142,800
Fixed cost 150,000
Net loss $7,200
To break-even, the total sales revenue should be equal to the total costs. Therefore, the access price should be:
Total costs:
Fixed cost $150,000
Variable 23,400
Total costs $173,400
Sales unit 3,400
Access price = $51.00 ($173,400/3,400)
Synder Company uses a standard cost system for its production process and applies overhead based on direct labor hours. The following information is available for May when Synder produced 4,500 units: Standard: DLH per unit 2.50 Variable overhead per DLH $1.75 Fixed overhead per DLH $3.10 Budgeted variable overhead $21,875 Budgeted fixed overhead $38,750 Actual: Direct labor hours 10,000 Variable overhead $26,250 Fixed overhead $38,000 Refer to Synder Company. Using the two-variance approach, what is the noncontrollable variance
Answer:
Fixed overhead volume variance =$3,875 adverse
Explanation:
The non-controllable variance is the fixed overhead volume variance. It is the sum of the fixed overhead efficiency variance and the fixed overhead capacity variance
The efficiency variance is the difference between the standard hours of actual production and the actual hours multiplied by the fixed overhead absorption rate
Capacity variance is the difference budgeted hours and actual hours multiplied by the Fixed overhead absorption rate
Efficiency variance $
4500 units should have taken (4500×2.50) 11,250
but did take 10,000
variance in hours 1250
Standard Fixed overhead absorption rate× $3.10
Efficiency variance 3,875 favorable
capacity variance $
Budgeted hours (38750/3.10) 12,500
Actual hours 10,000
Variance 2,500 adverse
Standard rate × $3.10
Capacity variance 7,750 adverse
Volume variance = 7750 adverse + 3,875 favorable =$3875 adverse
Fixed overhead volume variance =$3,875 adverse

b. Which of the following would be the most likely cause of the change in the amount of acreage used in corn production?
A. The higher price signals suppliers that corn is becoming more valuable.
B. Consumers directly inform suppliers of the increased demand for corn.
C. The government mandates that U.S. corn producers increase the acreage they devote to corn production to keep up with demand.
D. Economists publish reports in trade magazines informing farmers of the increased demand for corn.
Answer:
a. As a result of the price increase in corn, the supply of corn would increase. At the same time, the amount of acreage used in corn production would increase.
b. The most likely cause of the change in the amount of acreage used in corn production is:
A. The higher price signals suppliers that corn is becoming more valuable.
Explanation:
With corn as the major ingredient for the production of ethanol biofuel the demand and supply of corn increase to match with the increasing price. Suppliers, on their part, increase production by utilizing more acreage of land devoted for corn production. This is the typical interplay between the market forces that drive market equilibrium.
Answer:
a. As a result of the price increase in corn, the quantity supplied of corn would increase. At the same time, the amount of acreage used in corn production would increase.
The most likely cause of the change in the amount of acreage used in corn production is the higher price signals suppliers that corn is becoming more valuable.
Explanation:
Corn is an input for ethanol biofuel. An increase in demand for ethanol biofuel results in an increase in the demand for corn. As more ethanol is being produced, more corn is used in the production process.
The increase in the demand for corn increases the price of corn. As the price of corn increases, there is an increase in the quantity supplied of corn. Farmers are growing larger quantities of corn, which results in an increase in the acreage used for corn production.
An increase in price causes a movement along the supply curve. It does not cause a shift of the supply curve.
Consumers do not directly inform farmers of their increase in the demand for corn. Price serves as the market signal. Consumers are willing to pay a higher price for corn, showing that they value corn more.
The government does not generally regulate what specific crop is grown on private farmland. Furthermore, economists may publish predictions, but farmers are most responsive to changes in market price.

Joint products Alpha and Beta emerge from common processing that costs $200,000 and yields 9,000 units of Product Alpha and 5,600 units of Product Beta. Product Alpha can be sold for $150 per unit. Product Beta can be sold for $90 per unit. What amount of the joint costs will be assigned to Product Beta if joint costs are allocated on the basis of number of units produced
Answer:
the amount of the joint cost allocated is $76,712.32
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of the joint cost allocated is shown below"
= Processing cost × beta units ÷ (alpha units + beta units)
= $200,000 × 5,600 units ÷ (9,000 units + 5,600 units)
= $76,712.32
Hence, the amount of the joint cost allocated is $76,712.32
Woolsey Corporation, a U.S. company, expects to sell goods to a British customer at a price of 250,000 pounds, with delivery and payment to be made on October 24. On July 24, Woolsey purchased a three-month put option for 250,000 British pounds and designated this option as a cash flow hedge of a forecasted foreign currency transaction expected to be completed in late October. The following exchange rates apply:
Option Strike Price = $2.17
Option Cost : $4,000
July 24th Spot Rate : $2.17
October 24th Spot Rate :$2.13
October 24th Option Premium : $.04
What amount will Woolsey include as Adjustment to Net Income for the period ended October 31?
A. $6,000 positive.
B. $6,000 negative.
C. $10,000 positive.
D. $10,000 negative.
E. $14,000 positive.
Answer:
C. $10,000 positive.
Explanation:
The computation of the amount that should be included is shown below:
= (Option strike price - spot rate) × purchased put options
= ($2.17 - $2.13) × 250,000
= $10,000
As the spot rate is less than the strike price so automatically there is a gain of $10,000
Hence, the option c is correct

A policy maker argues that congestion on the roads can be solved by private ownership of the roads. He argues that if the roads were privately owned, then the externality of congestion would be fully internalized and solved by the market. Discuss this by first explaining the externality problem that leads to congestion, and then explain whether the private market would deliver the efficient level of roads.
Answer:
Externalities can be defined as those activities that incurs cost on another party.
Road congestion creates externalities such as increased time for travel, more pollution in a city, more likelihood of accidents, more stress for road users.
This externaliity is caused because road users think of the private benefits that they can get from using the road but they do not take the social cost into account. We have lots of drivers on the road and non of these drivers takes cognizance of the cost that other drivers get because of this.
If road are private, congestion is going to fall and there would be excludability. But this is a public good, turning it to a private good would cause issues. Private markets benefits out is positive externalities.
The term "externality" refers to elements and situations that occur off-road and cause congestion.
In this regard, we can say that:
The externality of congestion is created by the lack of urban infrastructure, the excess of vehicles on the streets, the lack of traffic inspection, and the lack of road maintenance.All of this allows for an accumulation of vehicles on urban roads, generating congestion, which affects the city in an imposing way.These problems have been treated as public order problems as roads are a public asset managed by the government. Many people believe that government management is the main problem and that if the roads were managed by private companies, these problems would be eliminated.
Although we can recognize that many of these externalities would be solved by private companies, treating the use of roads as a private asset would not solve the problem of congestion, as it would create other externalities, especially about the freedom to use roads.
With this, we can conclude that the externality of congestion would not be reduced with the use of private companies, but maintained with other factors.

Jupiter Satellite Corporation earned $29 million for the fiscal year ending yesterday. The firm also paid out 30 percent of its earnings as dividends yesterday. The firm will continue to pay out 30 percent of its earnings as annual, end-of-year dividends. The remaining 70 percent of earnings is retained by the company for use in projects. The company has 2.6 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current stock price is $105. The historical return on equity (ROE) of 11 percent is expected to continue in the future. What is the required rate of return on the stock
Answer:
11.13%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the required rate of return on the stock
Using this formula
Required rate of return=Last EPS*Payout*(1+RoE*(1-payout rate))/Current Price+RoE*(1-payout rate)
Let plug in the formula
Required rate of return=29/2.6*30%*(1+11%*(1-30%))/105+11%*(1-30%)
Required rate of return=11.13%
Therefore the required rate of return on the stock will be 11.13%

The welding department supplies parts to the final assembly line. Management decides to implement a kanban system and has collected the following data: The daily demand is 2500 units. The production lead time is 3 days (this includes processing time, transport time, and waiting time). Management has decided to have 1.5 days of safety stock. One container fits 250 units.How many kanban containers will be needed to support this system?
Answer: 45 containers
Explanation:
The number of containers needed is calculated by:
= (Expected demand during Lead time + Safety Stock) / Container Capacity
Expected demand during Lead time = Daily demand * Lead time
= 2,500 * 3
= 7,500 units
Safety stock = 1.5 days * 2,500
= 3,750 units
Number of containers needed:
= (7,500 + 3,750) / 250
= 45 containers
Jamison Company purchased the assets of Booker Company at an auction for $5,600,000. An independent appraisal of the fair value of the assets is listed below: Land $1,900,000 Building 2,800,000 Equipment 2,100,000 Trucks 3,400,000 Assuming Jamison allocates the purchase price on the basis of the relative fair values, what amount would be allocated to the Trucks?
Answer:
$1,866,667
Explanation:
Express the Fair Value of Truck as a parentage of Total Fair Value and multiply by Total Purchase Price
Fair Value of Truck = $3,400,000
Total Fair Value = $1,900,000 + $2,800,000 + $2,100,000 + $3,400,000 = $10,200,000
Cost of Truck = $3,400,000 / $10,200,000 x $5,600,000 = $1,866,667
The amount that would be allocated to the Trucks is $1,866,667

Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Recorded Goodwill = $330,000
Book value of net assets = $400,000
Book value of all assets = $730,000 ($400,000 + $330,000)
Estimated fair value of company = $600,000
Goodwill impairment = $130,000 ($730,000 - $600,000)
b) The Goodwill impairment of $130,000 arose when the book value or the carrying amount exceeded the estimated fair value.

He is in the process of buying 1,000 shares of Syngine Corp at $10 a share and adding it to his portfolio. Syngine has an expected return of 13.0% and a beta of 1.50. The total value of Ivan's current portfolio is $90,000. What will the expected return and beta on the portfolio be after the purchase of the Syngine stock? a. 11.76%; 1.29 b. 10.64%; 1.17 c. 12.97%; 1.42 d. 12.35%; 1.36 e. 11.20%; 1.23
Answer:
e. 11.20%; 1.23
Explanation:
The computation of the expected return and the beta is shown below
For expected return
= ($10,000 ÷ ($10,000 + $90,000) × 13%) + (0.9 × 11%)
= ($10,000 ÷ $100,000 × 13%) + (0.9 × 11%)
= (0.1 × 13%) + (0.9 × 11%)
= 11.20%
And, the beta is
= ($10,000 ÷ 100,000 × 1.50) + ($90,000 ÷ 100,000 × 1.20 )
= 1.23
A company has bonds on the market with 13 years to maturity, a YTM of 7.6 percent, and a current price of $1,000. The bonds make semiannual payments and have a face value of $1,000. What is the dollar value of each coupon
Answer:
$38.00
Explanation:
The dollar value of each coupon of each coupon is also known as the PMT of the Bond and this is made twice in a year for this question.
The Bond elements can now be established as :
N = 13 x 2 = 26
YTM = 7.6 %
PV = ($1,000)
FV = $1,000
P/YR = 2
PMT = ?
Using a Financial calculator the PMT is $38.00
Thus, the dollar value of each coupon is $38.00

Ataxia Fitness Center is considering an investment in some additional weight training equipment. The equipment has an estimated useful life of 10 years with no salvage value at the end of the 10 years. Ataxia's internal rate of return on this equipment is 8%. Ataxia's discount rate is also 8%. The payback period on this equipment is closest to (Ignore income taxes.):
Answer:
6.71 years
Explanation:
we need to determine the PVIFA for 8% and 10 periods:
PVIFA = [1 - 1/(1 + i)n ] / i
PVIFA = [1 - 1/(1 + 0.08)¹⁰ ] / 0.08 = 0.5368 / 0.08 = 6.71
Ataxia's payback period should be 6.71 years or less in order for this project to be feasible and accepted.

The Fabricating Department started the current month with a beginning Work in Process inventory of $11,600. During the month, it was assigned the following costs: direct materials, $77,600; direct labor, $25,600; and factory overhead, 80% of direct labor cost. Also, inventory with a cost of $117,000 was transferred out of the department to the next phase in the process. The ending balance of the Work in Process Inventory account for the Fabricating Department is:
Answer: $18,280
Explanation:
Ending inventory for fabricating department = Beginning Work in Process + Direct materials + Direct labor + Factory overhead - Inventory transferred out of department
= 11,600 + 77,600 + 25,600 + (80% * 25,600) - 117,000
= 11,600 + 77,600 + 25,600 + 20,480 - 117,000
= $18,280
Diving Fiasco. Mike, who owns a dive shop in the United States, decides to take a group of his customers diving in U.S. waters. Mike is aware that sharks occasionally visit the area where the divers will be visiting. He is also aware that while stingrays are usually tame, they can become aggressive when fed. Mike does not reveal that information to the group of divers going with him. The divers go down into the water, and some have squid with which to feed the stingrays. During the dive, one of the stingrays becomes agitated and latches onto diver Susie's arm. Susie is so disconcerted that she drops her regulator (her breathing device) from her mouth and is in considerable difficulty. Another diver, Billy, encounters a shark, which snaps at him. While the shark does not actually bite Billy, the attack results in damage to his diving equipment. Mike, who is in charge of the dive, does nothing to help and leaves the other divers to return to the boat because the dive turned out to be more trouble than expected. Wendy, another diver on the trip, also returns to the boat without doing anything to help the divers in distress. Sam, on the other hand, goes to rescue the divers who are in distress. He manages to do so but in the process he pulls his back and requires medical care. All divers are very unhappy with Mike. Billy and Susie are annoyed that Mike did not come to their assistance. Which is true regarding Mike's duty to provide assistance to them during the dive?
A) Mike had no duty to provide any assistance to them.
B) Mike had a duty to come to their aid because he arranged the dive and was charging them.
C) Mike had a duty to come to their assistance only if he had specifically agreed to do so prior to the dive.
D) Mike had a duty to come to their assistance only if they were minors.
E) Mike had a duty to come to their assistance only if no one else did so.
Answer:
B) Mike had a duty to come to their aid because he arranged the dive and was charging them.
Explanation:
Mike organized the diving trip as part of his business activities. he is making money out of it, he is not doing it for free. He should haver warned the other divers about the risks involved and should also help them in case they are in trouble. When you provide a service, you are responsible for your customers' safety.

This answer is quite sole and can be obtained by simple addition.
The answer to this question can be gotten by adding the MACR property of 8byears that has a cost of $430,000 with the purchases of new machines whose cost is $290000.
= $430000 + $290000
= $720000
Therefore Maple's total MACRs deduction for the year 2020 is equal to
$720000.
