Answer:
b. ignore the price increases of rivals
Explanation:
Surplus is the amount by which the quantity supplied of a good exceeds the quantity demanded of the good.
Producer surplus is the amount a buyer is willing to pay for a good minus the cost of producing the good.
Consumer surplus is the amount a buyer is willing to pay for a good minus the amount the buyer actually pays for it.
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

Palmer Corp. is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment. The cost savings from the equipment would result in an annual increase in net income after tax of $179,850. The equipment will have an initial cost of $545,000 and have a 7 year life. If the salvage value of the equipment is estimated to be $34,000, what is the accounting rate of return
Answer:
So, accounting rate of return = 33 %
Explanation:
given data
net income after tax = $179,850
initial cost = $545,000
time = 7 year
salvage value = $34,000
we will get here the accounting rate of return
solution
as we know that accounting rate of return is express as
accounting rate of return = Net income ÷ initial investment .................1
put here value and we get
accounting rate of return = [tex]\frac{179850}{545000}[/tex]
So, accounting rate of return = 33 %
Assume that interest rate parity (IRP) exists. You expect that the one-year nominal interest rate in the U.S. is 7%, while the one-year nominal interest rate in Australia is 11%. The spot rate of the Australian dollar is $0.60. You will need 10 million Australian dollars in one year. Today, you purchase a one-year forward contract in Australian dollars. How many U.S. dollars will you need in one year to fulfill your forward contract
Answer:
US $5,784,000
Explanation:
As per interest rate parity, forward rate = Spot rate*(1+Interest rate U.S.)/(1+interest rate Australia)
= 0.60*(1.07)/(1.11)
= 0.5784 /A$
Australian Dollars required in one year = 10,000,000
U.S. Dollars required = 10,000,000 * 0.5784 /A$
U.S. Dollars required = $5,784,000
So, the number of U.S. dollars you will need in one year to fulfill the forward contract is 5,784,000.
Hillary considers herself a shrewd commodities investor. She bought a May cotton contract (50,000 pounds) at a pound, and later sold it at a pound. What were her profit and her return on invested capital if her initial margin was and the size of a cotton futures contract is 50,000 pounds of cotton?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the profit will be calculated as:
Profit = (Selling price - Buying Price) × Size
= ($0.6485 - $0.6264)*50,000
= $0.0221 × 5000
= $1,105
Then, the return on the invested capital will be:
= Profit/Initial Margin
= 1105/1060
= 1.0425
= 104.25%
Consumers know that some fraction x of all new cars produced and sold in the market are defective. The defective ones cannot be identified except by those who own them. Cars do not depreciate with use. Consumers are risk-neutral and value nondefective cars at $10,000 each. New cars sell for $8,000 and used ones for $2,000. (Note that since buyers are risk-neutral, the price of a new car reflects the expected value of purchasing a car that may or may not be defective.)What is the fraction x?Instructions: Enter x as a number rounded to two decimal places. For example, if x = 1/3 enter 0.33.
Answer:
0.25
Explanation:
Given :
The [tex]$\text{consumers value}$[/tex] the non defective cars = [tex]$\$ 10,000$[/tex]
We will consider all the defective [tex]$\text{ cars are used cars}$[/tex] only. This is only because the value of the used car is $ 2000 and it is lower than the price of a good car that is $10,000. Thus only defective cars are being sold as the old cars.
For a risk neutral customer, the price that he is ready to give for the new car is the reservation price of a non defective car. It means that (the amount of $ 8000 is the value of the good car x chances of getting a good car) +( the value of the bad car x chances of getting a bad car).
Since we know that x is the fraction of all the cars sold in the market are defective, it means that the fraction of the good cars is 1 - x. Thus putting the values,
[tex]$x\times 2000+(1-x)\times 10000=8000$[/tex]
[tex]$10000-8000x=80000$[/tex]
[tex]$8000x=2000$[/tex]
[tex]$x=\frac{2}{8}$[/tex]
= 0.25
Thus the value of :
[tex]$x=\frac{2}{8} = 0.25$[/tex]
Diego owns 1,000 shares of Carmen. If Carmen Company issues an additional 100,000 shares of common stock, how many additional shares does Diego have the opportunity to buy
Answer:
Number of additional shares Diego has the opportunity to buy is 500 shares.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Carmen Company has the following equity amounts and no dividends in arrears.
Preferred stock, $1,000 par $24 million
Common stock, $100 par $20 million
Paid-in capital in excess of par $36 million
Retained earnings $18 million
Diego owns 1,000 shares of Carmen. If Carmen Company issues an additional 100,000 shares of common stock, how many additional shares does Diego have the opportunity to buy?
a. 500 b. 1,000 c. 2,000 d. 3,000
The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:
Current number of Carmen's Common stock shares outstanding = Common stock value / Common stock par value = $20,000,000 / $100 = 200,000 shares
Current percentage of Diego ownership in Carmen = Current number of Diego;s shares / Current number of Carmen's Common stock shares outstanding = 1,000 / 200,000 = 0.005, or 0.50%
Number of additional shares Diego has the opportunity to buy = Number of additional shares Camen wants to issue * Current percentage of Diego ownership in Carmen = 100,000 * 0.50% = 500 shares

A new accountant, Costa Goodsold, put together a preliminary version of Medina Co.'s financial statements. Medina's Net Income was $500, its Depreciation Expense was $100, and its Cash Flow from Operations was $70. The CEO found an error that Costa made in computing straight-line Depreciation Expense, which should have been $50. What is Medina's Cash Flow from Operations after fixing this mistake
Answer:
the cash flow from operation after fixing the mistake is $20
Explanation:
The computation of the cash flow from operation after fixing the mistake is as follows;
Cash flow from operations $70
Less; Depreciation expense -$100
Add: Depreciation expense $50
Net Cash flow from operations $20
Hence, the cash flow from operation after fixing the mistake is $20

Sun Co. was constructing fixed assets that qualified for interest capitalization. Sun had the following outstanding debt issuances during the entire year of construction: $6,000,000 face value, 8% interest $8,000,000 face value, 9% interest None of the borrowings were specified for the construction of the qualified fixed asset. Average expenditures for the year were $1,000,000. What interest rate should Sun use to calculate capitalized interest on the construction
Answer:
the interest rate that should be determined the capitalized interest is 8.57%
Explanation:
The computation of the interest rate that should be determined the capitalized interest is shown below;
= $6,000,000 ÷ ($6,000,000 + $8,000,000) × 0.08 + $8,000,000 ÷ ($6,000,000 + $8,000,000) × 0.09
= 0.0857
= 8.57%
Hence, the interest rate that should be determined the capitalized interest is 8.57%

Bethany’s regular hourly wage rate is $12, and she receives an hourly rate of $18 for work in excess of 40 hours. During a January pay period, Bethany works 50 hours. Bethany’s federal income tax withholding is $99, and she has no voluntary deductions. Compute Bethany’s gross earnings and net pay for the pay period. Assume that the FICA tax rate is 7.65%.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the gross earnings and the net pay is shown below;
Gross pay = Regular pay + Overtime pay
= (40 × $12) + (50 - 40) × $18
= $480 + $180
= $660
Net pay = Gross pay - FICA taxes - Federal income taxes withholding
= $660 - ($660 × 7.65%) - $99
= $510.51
Hence, the same is to be considered and relevant

Answer:
Alberton Electronics
a. Alberton Electronics' predetermined VOH rate = $27.50 ($1,375,000/50,000)
b. The predetermined FOH rate using practical capacity = $17.60 ($3,168,000/180,000)
c. The predetermined FOH rate using expected capacity = $26.40 ($3,168,000/120,000)
d. Variable overhead applied = $3,025,000 (110,000 * $27.50)
Fixed overhead applied using $17.60 FOH rate = $1,936,000 (110,000 * $17.60)
Fixed overhead applied using $26.40 FOB rate = $2,904,000 (110,000 * $26.40)
The Total under-or applied overhead for 2013:
a) Overapplied overhead = $2,251,000 ($4,961,000 - $2,710,000)
b) Overapplied overhead = $3,219,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Variable factory overhead at 100,000 machine hours $2,750,000
Variable factory overhead at 150,000 machine hours 4,125,000
Difference = 50,000 machine hours and $1,375,000
Variable overhead rate = $1,375,000/50,000 = $27.50
Fixed factory overhead between 10,000 and 180,000 machine hours = $3,168,000
Practical capacity = 180,000
Expected capacity = 120,000 (180,000 * 2/3)
a. Alberton Electronics' predetermined VOH rate = $27.50 ($1,375,000/50,000)
b. The predetermined FOH rate using practical capacity = $17.60 ($3,168,000/180,000)
c. The predetermined FOH rate using expected capacity = $26.40 ($3,168,000/120,000)
d. Variable overhead applied = $3,025,000 (110,000 * $27.50)
Fixed overhead applied using $17.60 FOH rate = $1,936,000 (110,000 * $17.60)
Fixed overhead applied using $26.40 FOB rate = $2,904,000 (110,000 * $26.40)
The Total under-or applied overhead for 2013:
a) Total overhead applied = $4,961,000 ($3,025,000 + $1,936,000)
Overapplied overhead = $2,251,000 ($4,961,000 - $2,710,000)
b) Total overhead applied = $5,929,000 ($3,025,000 + $2,904,000)
Overapplied overhead = $3,219,000 ($5,929,000 - $2,710,000)
If markets are in equilibrium, which of the following conditions will exist? a. Each stock's expected return should equal its realized return as seen by the marginal investor. b. Each stock's expected return should equal its required return as seen by the marginal investor. c. All stocks should have the same expected return as seen by the marginal investor. d. The expected and required returns on stocks and bonds should be equal. e. All stocks should have the same realized return during the coming year.
Answer:
a
Explanation:
Equilibrium is a market exists when quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied. At equilibrium, demand equals supply. Above equilibrium there is a surplus and below equilibrium there is scarcity.
When there is equilibrium in the stock market, each stock's expected return should equal its realized return as seen by the marginal investor
If there is a surplus in the stock market, realized return would be greater than expected return
If there is a scarcity in the stock market, expected return would be greater than realized return

(Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.25.) Variable cost per unit
Answer:
A.$1.50 per units
B. $16,080
Explanation:
Computation for the variable cost per unit using the high-low method.
Using this formula
Variable cost per unit= High activity cost -Low Activity cost /High activity cost -Low Activity cost
Let plug in the formula
Variable cost per unit=(82,620-$46,020)/(44,360-19,960)
Variable cost per unit=$36,600/$24,400
Variable cost per unit= $1.5 per units
Therefore the variable cost per unit using the high-low method is $1.50 per units
B. Computation for the fixed cost element unit using the high-low method.
Fixed cost element=82,620-(1.50*44,360)
Fixed cost element=82,620-66,540
Fixed cost element=$16,080
Therefore the fixed cost element unit using the high-low method is $16,080

1) If you believe in the reversal effect, you should buy stocks that performed well last period. (10points) a. True. b. False
Answer:
False.
Explanation:
The reversal effect is a theory in the field of business and investment that establishes that markets move in an oscillating way, that is, with constant ups and downs, which occur in reverse: if a share rises in a day set of days, the most logical and expected thing is that it comes down proportionally.
Thus, according to this theory, the performance of a market instrument is determined by its ability to maintain value at times of decline.

Dean Company has sales of $163,000, and the break-even point in sales dollars is $102,690. Determine the company's margin of safety percentage. Round answer to the nearest whole number. fill in the blank 1 %
Answer:
37%
Explanation:
The Dean company has sales of $163,000
The break even point in sales dollars is $102,690
Therefore, the company's margin of safety can be calculated as follow;
Margin of safety = (Sales - Break even sales ) / Sales
Margin of safety = ($163,000 - $102,690) / $163,000
Margin of safety = $60,310 / $163,000
Margin of safety = 0.37 × 100
Margin of safety = 37%

The amount of the cash dividend was:___________
a) $381000.
b) $781000.
c) $682000.
d) $1280000.
Answer:
C. $682,000
Explanation:
Given the above information, the computation of cash dividend is seen below;
Beginning retained earnings (2020) + net income - Stock dividend - Cash dividend = Retained earnings
$1,440,000 + $1,008,000 - ($499,000 + $99,000) - Cash dividend = $1,168,000
$2,448,000 - $598,000 - Cash dividend = $1,168,000
Cash dividend = $2,448,000 - $598,000 - $1,168,000
Cash dividend = $682,000
