Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the total unitary variable cost:
Total unitary variable cost=2.5 + 1.5 + 0.25 + 1.5
Total unitary variable cost= $5.75
Now, the variable costing income statement:
Sales= 33,000*12= 396,000
Total variable cost= (33,000*5.75)= (189,750)
Total contribution margin= 206,250
Fixed Manufacturing Expenses= (117,000)
Fixed Selling and Administration Expenses= (21,000)
Net operating income= 68,250

In order to devote all her efforts to college, she did not hold a job. She is going to cruise around the country on her motorcycle for a month before she starts looking for work. Other things the same, the unemployment rate ____________ and the labor force participation rate ______________.
Answer:
Remain the same; remain the same.
Explanation:
Unemployment rate refers to the percentage of the total labor force in an economy, who are unemployed but seeking to be gainfully employed. The unemployment rate is divided into various types, these include;
I. Natural Rate of Unemployment (NU).
II. Frictional unemployment rate (FU).
III. Structural unemployment rate (SU).
IV. Actual unemployment rate (AU).
V. Cyclical unemployment rate (CU).
There are different measures used in the measurement of the unemployment rate in a country's economy and these includes;
A. U-1: this is the percentage of people that are unemployed for at least 15 weeks or more.
B. U-2: this is the percentage of the people who have lost their job or the people that finished a temporary job.
C. U-3: this is the percentage of the population that is unemployed but actively seeking employment.
All things being equal (ceteris paribus), the unemployment rate would remain the same and the labor force participation rate remain the same because Matilda has decided to cruise around the country on her motorcycle for a month before she starts looking for work.
Once international trade occurs, a country with a comparative advantage in the production of a good will ________ production of the good and ________. Question 3 options: not change; import the good decrease; export the good increase; export the good increase; import the good decrease; import the good
Answer:
increase; export the good.
Explanation:
Globalization can be defined as the strategic process which involves the integration of various markets across the world to form a large global marketplace. Basically, globalization makes it possible for various organizations to produce goods and services that is used by consumers across the world.
Trade can be defined as a process which typically involves the buying and selling of goods and services between a producer and the customers (consumers) at a specific period of time.
Once international trade occurs, a country with a comparative advantage in the production of a good will increase production of the good and export the good.
Comparative advantage in economics is the ability of an individual or country to produce a specific good or service at a lower opportunity cost better than another individual or country.
The comparative advantage gives a country a stronger sales margin than their competitors as they are able to sell their specific products or render their peculiar services at a lower opportunity cost.
A company had stock outstanding as follows during each of its first three years of operations: 2,500 shares of 10%, $100 par, cumulative preferred stock and 50,000 shares of $10 par common stock. The amounts distributed as dividends follow. Determine the total and per-share dividends for each class of stock for each year by completing the schedule. Preferred Common Year Dividends Total Per Share Total Per Share1 $10,000 2 25,000 3 60,000
Answer:
See the attached photo for the completed the schedule.
Explanation:
Note: See the attached photo for the completed the schedule.
In the attach excel file, the following formulae and calculations are used:
Peferred stock dividend per share = Total cumulative preferred stock dividend paid in a year / Number of cumulative preferred shares
Common stock dividend per share = Total common stock dividend paid in a year / Number of common shares
Total cumulative preferred stock dividend = Number of cumulative preferred stock * Par value * Dividend rate = 2,500 * $100 * 10% = 2,500 * $100 * 10% = $25,000
Outstanding cumulative preferred stock dividend in Year 1 = Total cumulative preferred stock dividend - Total cumulative preferred stock dividend paid in Year 1 = $25,000 - $10,000 = $15,000
Outstanding cumulative preferred stock dividend in Year 2 = Outstanding cumulative preferred stock dividend in Year 1 = $15,000
Total cumulative preferred stock dividend paid in Year 3 = Total cumulative preferred stock dividend + Outstanding cumulative preferred stock dividend in Year 2 = $25,000 + $15,000 = $40,000
Total common stock dividend paid in Year 3 = Dividend distributed in Year 3 - Total cumulative preferred stock dividend paid in Year 3 = $60,000 - $40,000 = $20,000

The unit production costs for July are:
Materials Conversion Costs
a. $1.79 $1.60
b. $1.79 $1.49
c. $2.00 $1.49
d. $2.00 $1.60
Answer:
d. $2.00 $1.60
Explanation:
The unit production costs for July are calculated as
Total Cost Calculation
Materials = $6400 + $54000 = $60,400
Conversion Costs = $2600 + $35000 = $37,600
Cost per equivalent unit
Materials = $60,400 ÷ 30,200 units =$2.00
Conversion Costs = $37,600 ÷ 23500 units =$1.60
For centuries, Alaskans relied on salmon and other freshwater fish for protein, oil, and other nutrients. But when jetliners began flying tourists who love fishing from Seattle to Anchorage in the 1950s, the stock of Alaskan salmon began falling. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game had concerns about the high fraction of young salmon caught before they could reproduce. Following the advice of environmental scientists and economists, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game introduced restrictions on the minimum size (28 inches) and the number of salmon caught (5 per day). Among their concerns was the high fraction of young salmon caught before they could reproduce.
a. Alaskan salmon are a ____________.
b. In addition to restricting the number of salmon caught and imposing minimum size limits, which of following are suitable policy interventions to deal with this market failure?
The government could :________.
i. allow only Alaska residents to purchase fishing permits.
ii. increase the cost of fishing permits for sport fishers.
iii. decrease the number of fish allowed for commercial fishers.
iv. limit the fishing season to only certain times of the year, i.e., prohibit fishing during spawning.
Answer:
a. Rivalrous and Non-excludable good.
When a good is said to be rivalrous, it means that consuming them reduces the supply left for others. When salmon, especially the younger ones, are fished, it will reduce the supply of salmon remaining which makes salmon a rivalrous good.
Salmon is also a non-excludable good which means that everyone has access to it which is why people could fly in from Seattle and still be able to fish salmon in Alaska.
b. The government could do all of the options listed in b.
Allowing only Alaska residents to fish would keep salmon stock healthy as Alaskan residents have managed to do so for centuries.
People who fish just for sport should be made to pay more for fishing permits to discourage them from reducing salmon stock for sport.
Commercial fishers should be limited in the number they can fish.
The fishing season should not be all year round but rather only in certain periods, especially after the salmon has had time to repopulate.

The direct-material quantity variance is:
Answer:
Usage variance=$750
Explanation:
A material usage variance occurs when the standard quantity required to active a particular level of production is higher or lower than than the actual actual quantity used. A favorable variance would mean than less quantity of materials were used than the standard to achieve a given output level. And an adverse variance would mean the opposite
Pounds
7,800 units should have used ( 7,800× 3) 23,400
but did use 23,100
Usage variance 300
× standard price $2.50
Usage variance $750 favorable
Usage variance =$750

When the original poverty line was created, even some people living above the poverty line did not have access to a phone or running water in their homes.
Today, running water is expected. Beyond that, the norm for our contemporary society includes having cell phones and internet access. In fact, the U.S. government provides grants to bring high-speed in-home internet access to underserved rural areas.
Consider both the benefits and the shortcomings of the U.S. poverty line as a means of assessing poverty today.
The U.S. poverty line was originally set at
a. an income level of $1.90 per day.
b. sufficient income to provide for a family of four.
c. one-third of the median income in the United States.
d. three times the cost of a low-cost food plan.
Answer:
d. three times the cost of a low-cost food plan.
Explanation:
The U.S. poverty line is measured based on three times the cost of low-cost food plan. The people in the rural areas are considered more poor and they are provided with basic necessities. The U.S. government takes initiatives to encourage rural population to contribute their expertise and strengths in some projects. They provide welfare benefit to those who are needy and can not survive on their earnings.

the total cost to be assigned to the ending work in process is $3,450.
Luzadis Company makes furniture using the latest automated technology. The company uses a job-order costing system and applies manufacturing overhead cost to products on the basis of machine-hours. The predetermined overhead rate was based on a cost formula that estimates $1,152,000 of total manufacturing overhead for an estimated activity level of 72,000 machine-hours.During the year, a large quantity of furniture on the market resulted in cutting back production and a buildup of furniture in the company's warehouse. The company's cost records revealed the following actual cost and operating data for the year:,Machine-hours 67,000Manufacturing overhead cost $551,000 Inventories at year-end: Raw materials $13,000 Work in process (includes overhead applied of $37,520) $139,300 Finished goods (includes overhead applied of $101,840) $378,100 Cost of goods sold (includes overhead applied of $396, 640) $1,472,600Required: 1. Compute the underapplied or overapplied overhead. 2. Assume that the company closes any underapplied or overapplied overhead to Cost of Goods Sold. Prepare the appropriate journal entry. 3. Assume that the company allocates any underapplied or over appliedoverhead proportionally to Work in Process, Finished Goods, and Cost of Goods Sold. Prepare the appropriate journal entry. 4. How much higher or lower will net operating income be if the underapplied or overapplied overhead is allocated to Work in Process, Finished Goods, and Cost of Goods Sold rather than being closed to Cost of Goods Sold?
Answer:
Answer:
1. Overhead over applied= $521,000
2. Factory Overhead Dr. $ 521,000
Cost Of Goods Sold Cr. $ 521,000
3. Work in Process, (ratio) $521,000 * 7%= 36,470
Finished Goods, $521,000 * 19%= 98,990
Cost of Goods Sold $521,000 * 74%= 385,540
Total $521,000 100%
4. Difference between the two CGS= $ 136,060
Explanation:
Predetermined Overhead Costs $1,152,000
Estimated activity level of 72,000 machine-hours
Overhead rate= $ 1152,000/ 72,000= $ 16 per hour
Manufacturing overhead cost $551,000
Actual hours = 67,000
Overhead applied to WIP = 67,000 * 16= $ 1072,000
Overhead over applied= $ 1072,000 - $551000= $521,000
Part 2:
Factory Overhead Dr. $ 521,000
Cost Of Goods Sold Cr. $ 521,000
The Cost of Goods Sold is credited and Factory overhead is debited.
Part 3:
Suppose the overhead is applied in the following ratio
Work in Process, (ratio) $37,520 7% (37520/536,00*100%)
Finished Goods, $101,840 19% (101840/536,00*100%)
Cost of Goods Sold $396, 640 74% (396,640/536,00*100%)
Total $536,000 100%
The overhead over applied would be allocated in the following way applying the same ratio as determined above.
Work in Process, (ratio) $521,000 * 7%= 36,470
Finished Goods, $521,000 * 19%= 98,990
Cost of Goods Sold $521,000 * 74%= 385,540
Total $521,000 100%
Part 4:
Cost of Goods Sold ( overhead applied of $396, 640) $1,472,600
Less Overhead overapplied $ 521,000
CGS = $ 951,000
Cost of Goods Sold (overhead applied to WIP & FG) $1,472,600
Less Overapplied Overhead $ 385,540
CGS= $ 1087,060
Difference between the two CGS = $ 1087,060- $ 951,000= $ 136,060
Three identical units of merchandise were purchased during July, as follows: Date Product T Units Cost July 3 Purchase 1 $31 10 Purchase 1 34 24 Purchase 1 37 Total 3 $102 Average cost per unit $34 Assume one unit sells on July 28 for $48. Determine the gross profit, cost of goods sold, and ending inventory on July 31 using (a) first-in, first-out, (b) last-in, first-out, and (c) average cost flow methods.
Answer:
(a) first-in, first-out,
Cost of Sales = $31
Ending Inventory = $71
Gross Profit = $17
(b) last-in, first-out,
Cost of Sales = $37
Ending Inventory = $65
Gross Profit = $17
(c) average cost flow methods.
Cost of Sales = $48
Ending Inventory = $96
Gross Profit = $0
Explanation:
(a) first-in, first-out,
FIFO method assumes that the units to arrive first, will be sold first. This means cost of sales will be based on earlier (old) prices whilst inventory valuation will be on recent (new) prices.
Cost of Sales = 1 x $31 = $31
Ending Inventory = 1 x $34 + 1 x $37 = $71
Gross Profit = $48 - $31 = $17
(b) last-in, first-out,
LIFO method assumes that the units to arrive last will be sold first. This means cost of sales will be based on recent (new) prices whilst inventory valuation will be on earlier (old) prices.
Cost of Sales = 1 x $37 = $37
Ending Inventory = 1 x $34 + 1 x $31 = $65
Gross Profit = $48 - $37 = $17
(c) average cost flow methods.
This method calculates a new average unit cost with each and every purchase made. This unit cost is used to determine the cost of sales and inventory value.
Cost of Sales = 1 x $48 = $48
Ending Inventory = 2 x $48 = $96
Gross Profit = $48 - $48 = $0
A researcher sets up an experiment involving the use of some sophisticated equipment. The research proposal is approved by the IRB and a grant to cover the cost of the equipment is received from a funding agency. The researcher does not mention that he owns stock in the company he chooses to supply the equipment. The same type of equipment is available from other companies, of comparable quality and price. Is this ethical or unethical
Answer:
This is unethical
Explanation:
Unethical behaviour is defined as a behaviour that is considered o be morally wrong for a group of people or in a given industry.
In the given scenario the researcher is using sophisticated equipment for an experiment.
He chose a company that he has shares in to supply the equipment.
This can be seen as a use of his influence for financial gain that is outside the normal compensation he is receiving
Luebke Inc. has provided the following data for the month of November. The balance in the Finished Goods inventory account at the beginning of the month was $53,000 and at the end of the month was $30,100. The cost of goods manufactured for the month was $212,500. The actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred was $55,300 and the manufacturing overhead cost applied to Work in Process was $58,400. The company closes out any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead to cost of goods sold. The adjusted cost of goods sold that would appear on the income statement for November is:
Answer:
$232,300
Explanation:
With regards to the above information, and given that;
Actual overhead = $55,300
Applied overhead = $58,400
Over applied overhead = $58,400 - $55,300 = $3,100
Unadjusted cost of goods sold
= $53,000 + $212,500 - $30,100
= $235,400
Therefore, the adjusted cost of goods sold
= $235,400 - $3,100
= $232,300
A sales representative lives in Bloomington and must be in Indianapolis next Thursday. On each of the days Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, he can sell his wares in Indianapolis, Bloomington, or Chicago. From past experience, he believes that he can earn $12 from spending a day in Indianapolis, $16 from spending a day in Bloomington, and $17 from spending a day in Chicago. Where should he spend the first three days
Answer:
Bloomington.
Explanation:
Since a sales representative lives in Bloomington and must be in Indianapolis next Thursday, and on each of the days Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, he can sell his wares in Indianapolis, Bloomington, or Chicago, and from past experience, he believes that he can earn $ 12 from spending a day in Indianapolis, $ 16 from spending a day in Bloomington, and $ 17 from spending a day in Chicago, to determine where he should spend the first three days, the following calculation must be performed:
Indianapolis: 12 x 3 = 36
Bloomington: 16 x 3 = 48
Chicago: 17 x 3 = 51
Thus, in principle, the representative should spend his 3 days in Chicago, but if the cost of travel is discounted, he should spend those 3 days in Bloomington, since he will earn more money than if he moves in advance to Indianapolis.

Albert and his family sell beverages outside the stadium during local football matches. Local football matches take place every day because they are the main form of entertainment in the town. Albert knows that demand for beverages will depend on whom the local team is playing against. Albert has a large amount of beverages stored at home, and whatever does not get sold one day, will be stored for the next day. Based on the expected demand, Albert determines how many coolers will be needed for that day and rents the appropriate number of coolers from a local supplier (the only local supplier of coolers in town). The local supplier of coolers is an avid football fan and therefore opens the store only for a few hours early in the morning before the game. Once Albert has rented the coolers, the store closes until the next day. Which of the following statements are correct about Albert's business?A. For Georgina's business, the number of beverages is always a variable factor and the number of coolers is always a fixed factor. B. Before deciding how many coolers to rent, as long as the supply store is still open, Georgina is facing a long- run decision. C. Once Georgina has rented the coolers and the supplier has closed the store, Georgina is facing a long-run decision. D. Specifically for this problem, the long run could be described as roughly 24 hours. E. The long run is never less than 1 year.
Answer:
The correct statements about Albert's business:
C. Once Georgina has rented the coolers and the supplier has closed the store, Georgina is facing a long-run decision.
D. Specifically for this problem, the long run could be described as roughly 24 hours.
Explanation:
From the scenario, the variable factors are the number of beverages and the number of coolers for Albert's business. This is because the number of beverages and the number of coolers depend on demand. This eliminates option A. Option B is not a long-run decision but a short-run one. The long-run is a time period when the decision-maker cannot change her decisions to meet the prevailing demands.

Nemo Gill was hired by the Spectacular Tropical Aquarium and agreed to submit any disputes arising out of his employment to binding arbitration. Nemo was fired when he became a Rastafarian and urged his coworkers to become vegetarians and smoke ganja. Without waiting for the results of the arbitration, Nemo filed a complaint alleging religious discrimination with the EEOC. The EEOC quickly filed a lawsuit on his behalf. Spectacular moved to have the EEOC's lawsuit dismissed on the grounds that Nemo signed a valid arbitration agreement.
a. The EEOC cannot bring a lawsuit enforcement action against Spectacular because Nemo signed the mandatory arbitration agreement.
b. The EEOC can bring a lawsuit enforcement action against Spectacular despite Nemo's agreeing to arbitration.
c. The EEOC cannot bring a lawsuit enforcement action against Spectacular because Nemo did not wait for the results of the arbitration.
d. The EEOC cannot bring a lawsuit enforcement action against Spectacular because Nemo's urging his co-workers to smoke ganja and become vegetarians had nothing to do with his job.
Answer:
The correct answer to the question above is OPTION B (The EEOC can bring a lawsuit enforcement action against Spectacular despite Nemo's agreeing to arbitration).
Explanation:
Companies (mostly private) usually desire their employees to sign an arbitration agreement giving the fact that it removes the power of an employee to take the employer to court on certain claims instead the claims go through an arbitration proceeding that happens outside of court.
EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) enforces the laws of the state that prohibits discrimination against employees by their employers because of where they come from, their religion, their marital status, sex, their citizenship, and a whole lot more.
So, the EEOC can bring a lawsuit enforcement action against Spectacular despite Nemo's agreeing to arbitration because the EEOC itself was not a party to the arbitration agreement between Spectacular and Nemo, and the U. S. Supreme Court gave EEOC the power to exercise its enforcement powers.
