Answer:
Nash equilibrium will occur at the following conditions P1 = P2 = 10 and x1 = x2 = 0.
Explanation:
The term or concept known as the Nash equilibria is very important and it is often used in the determination of the kind of price strategies companies that are competing against one another will use in order to acquire more customers than the others.
So, in this question/problem we are given that there are two manufacturer that is manufacturer 1 and manufacturer 2. Also, the total number of customers both manufacturers are competing for is equal to 100.
Kindly note that we are given from the question that ''Each manufacturer chooses both the price and quality of its product, where each variable can take any non-negative real number''
If each of the manufacturer has 50 customers each that is symmetric condition.
Assuming we have a condition or situation where p1 is less than p2 for manufacturer 1, it means that manufacture 1 lessens its price, therefore manufacturer 1 will have all all the profit = 100(p1 - 10 - 5x1).
Assuming manufacturer 1 reduces both the quality and the price this time around to the point that it is justifiable to lower the price because of the quality , it means that we will have 1000 + (x1 = 0) + (p1 - compensation m).
For any of the manufacturer, If m> x' and we have that x1 = x'>0[ which is for the quality], then, the profit will be 100(10 + 5x'- m -10).
Also, For any of the manufacturer, if we have x'<m<5x' and x1 for the representation of quality, then, Customers will buy from both manufacturer making m<5x'.
Therefore, Nash equilibrium will occur at the following conditions: P1 = P2 = 10 and x1 = x2 = 0.
Financial Assertions and Audit Objectives. You are engaged to examine the financial statements of Spillane Company for the year ended December 31. Assume that on November 1, Spillane borrowed $500,000 from Second National Bank to finance plant expansion. The long-term note agreement provided for the annual payment of principal and interest over five years. The existing plant was pledged as security for the loan. Due to the unexpected difficulties in acquiring the building site, the plant expansion did not begin on time. To use the borrowed funds, management decided to invest in stocks and bonds and on November 16, invested the $500,000 in publicly traded securities
Required:
Develop specific assertions (audit objectives) related to securities (assets) based on management’s five (PCAOB) general assertions.
Answer:
Assertion 1) Existence or occurrence: the company must provide the loan documents along with proof that they actually purchased the stocks and bonds using the loan money. It would also help to have a document explaining why the building site couldn't be acquired as planned.
Assertion 2) Rights and obligations: all the legal paperwork regarding the loan, the mortgage on the existing plant and the stocks and bond paperwork must be presented.
Assertion 3) Completeness: all the relevant information must be readily available including building titles, inventories, equipment, cash receipts, etc. The auditor should be allowed to physically visit the plant and confirm the documents.
Assertion 4) Valuation and allocation: information regarding the current market values of the building, inventories and equipment should be given. The auditor should be able to confirm if the depreciation values and market values are consistent. Also, the auditor must have access to accounts receivables and should be able to analyze them to check for any inconsistencies.
Assertion 5) Presentation and disclosure: the auditor should be able to check expense accounts and capitalization accounts, and analyze them. E.g. equipment or machinery repairs must be treated as expenses and not capitalized.
Tom and Betsy, who are married filing jointly, reported a standard deduction of $24,000 on their 2018 tax return. They paid $500 to the state for income taxes in 2018. In 2019, they received a $125 refund of state taxes paid in 2018. What is the amount that Tom and Betsy need to report on their 2019 tax return?
Answer:
$0
Explanation:
Since Tom and Betsy didn't itemize their deductions in 2018 (they chose the standard deduction), they didn't include the state taxes in their tax filing. Since the state taxes were not used by Tom and Betsy to reduce their federal income taxes, then any refund will not be included in their current income. Only if state taxes are used to lower federal taxes, do taxpayers need to include any refund.

Amy and Mitchell share equally in the profits, losses, and capital of the accrual basis AM Products LLC. The LLC does not need to report financial information to any third parties, so capital accounts are determined using tax rules (rather than GAAP). Amy is a managing member of the LLC (treated as a general partner) and is a U.S. person. At the beginning of the current tax year, Amy's capital account has a balance of $960,000, and the LLC has debts of $624,000 payable to unrelated parties. The debts are recourse to the LLC, but neither of the LLC members has personally guaranteed them. Assume that all LLC debt is shared equally between the partners. The following information about AM's operations for the current year is obtained from the LLC's records.
Ordinary income $900,000
W-2 wages to employees 200,000
Depreciation expense 300,000
Interest income from bond 4,000
Long-term capital loss 6,000
Short-term capital gain 12,000
Charitable contribution 4,000
Cash distribution to Amy 20,000
Unadjusted basis of partnership depreciable property 1,600,000
Year-end LLC debt payable to unrelated parties is $140,000.
Required:
What income, gains, losses, and deductions does Amy report on her income tax return?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Share of ordinary income:
= (Ordinary income - Wages - Depreciation)/2
= (900,000 - 200,000 - 300,000)/2
= 400,000/2
= 200,000
Share of net short term capital gain
= (12,000 - 6,000) × 50%
= 6,000 × 0.5
= 3,000
Share of interest income
= 4000 × 50%
= 4000 × 0.5
= 2000
Share of charitable contribution deduction
= 4000 × 50%
= 4000 × 0.5
= 2000

You have just been hired as a financial analyst for Barrington Industries. Unfortunately, company headquarters (where all of the firm's records are kept) has been destroyed by fire. So, your first job will be to recreate the firm's cash flow statement for the year just ended. The firm had $100,000 in the bank at the end of the prior year, and its working capital accounts except cash remained constant during the year. It earned $5 million in net income during the year but paid $750,000 in dividends to common shareholders. Throughout the year, the firm purchased $5.4 million of machinery that was needed for a new project. You have just spoken to the firm's accountants and learned that annual depreciation expense for the year is $450,000; however, the purchase price for the machinery represents additions to property, plant, and equipment before depreciation. Finally, you have determined that the only financing done by the firm was to issue long-term debt of $1 million at a 5% interest rate. The data has been collected in the Microsoft Excel Online file below. Open the spreadsheet and perform the required analysis to answer the question below.
What was the firm's end-of-year cash balance? Recreate the firm's cash flow statement to arrive at your answer. Write out your answer completely. For example, 5 million should be entered as 5,000,000. Round your answer to the nearest dollar, if necessary.
Answer:

Assume that on January 1, 2012, a parent company acquired a 70% interest in a subsidiary's voting common stock. On the date of acquisition, the fair value of the subsidiary's net assets equaled their reported book values except for machinery and equipment, which had a fair value of $480,000 and a reported book value of $250,000. The machinery and equipment had a 5 year remaining useful life and no salvage value. The following are the highly summarized pre-consolidation income statements of the parent and subsidiary for the year ended December 31 , 2013:
Income Statement Parent Subsidiary
Revenues $2,160,000 $288,000
Equity income 60,200
Expenses 1440000 144,000
Net income $780,200 144,000

At the beginning of the month, the Forming Department of Martin Manufacturing had 17,000 units in inventory, 30% complete as to materials, and 15% complete as to conversion. During the month the department started 67,000 units and transferred 72,500 units to the next manufacturing department. At the end of the month, the department had 11,500 units in inventory, 85% complete as to materials and 60% complete as to conversion. If Martin Manufacturing uses the weighted average method of process costing, compute the equivalent units for materials and conversion respectively for the Forming Department.
A) 82,275 materials; 79,400 conversion
B) 65,275 materials; 62,400 conversion
C) 64,450 materials; 69,550 conversion
D) 77,175 materials; 79,400 conversion
E) 77,175 materials; 76,850 conversion
Answer:
A) 82,275 materials; 79,400 conversion
Explanation:
Calculation of the Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Raw Materials and Conversion Costs
1. Raw Materials
Ending Work In Process (11,500 × 85%) = 9,775
Completed and Transferred (72,500 × 100%) = 72,500
Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Materials = 82,275
2. Conversion Costs
Ending Work In Process (11,500 × 60%) = 6,900
Completed and Transferred (72,500 × 100%) = 72,500
Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Materials = 79,400
A company reports accounting data in its financial statements. This data is used for financial analyses that provide insights into a company’s strengths, weaknesses, performance in specific areas, and trends in performance. These analyses are often used to compare a company’s performance to that of its competitors, or to its past or expected future performance. Such insight helps managers and analysts improve their decision making. Most decision makers and analysts use five groups of ratios to examine the different aspects of a company’s performance. Indicate whether each of the following statements regarding financial ratios are true or false?
a. The ratios provide an accurate and thorough representation of the Chinese company’s performance.b. The analysis likely includes incorrect and misleading conclusions.
Answer:
a. False
b. True
Explanation:
Ratio analysis is a very useful method of analyzing a company however it is not necessarily very in-depth. If a company seems to be performing below the industrial average, it would be prudent to check the reasons why the company is doing so.
The advantage of ratio analysis in this instance is that it would help point you in the right direction to know what accounts to analyze more intensely to find out why the Chinese company is not performing up to standard.
Ratio analysis are good but they do not always provide an accurate and thorough representation of a company’s performance therefore relying solely on ratios will lead to an analysis that likely includes incorrect and misleading conclusions.

Two methods can be used for producing solar panels for electric power generation. Method 1 will have an initial cost of $550,000, an annual operating cost of $160,000 per year, and $125,000 salvage value after its three-year life. Method 2 will cost $830,000 with an annual operating cost of $120,000. and a $240,000 salvage value after its five-year life. The company has asked you to determine which method is better, but it Wants the analysis done over a three-year planning period. The salvage value of Method 2 will be 35% higher after three years than it is after five years. If the company's minimum attractive rate of return is 10% per year, which method should the company select?
Answer:
the company should choose method 1
Explanation:
Method 1 Method 2
Initial outlay $550,000 $830,000
operating costs (years 1,2,3) $160,000 $120,000
salvage value $125,000 $324,000
we must determine which alternative has the lowest present value:
method 1 = $550,000 + $160,000/1.1 + $160,000/1.1² + $160,000/1.1³ - $125,000/1.1³ = $550,000 + $145,455 + $132,231 + $120,210 - $93,914 = $853,982
method 2 = $830,000 + $120,000/1.1 + $120,000/1.1² + $120,000/1.1³ - $324,000/1.1³ = $830,000 + $109,091 + $99,174 + $90,158 - $243,426 = $884,996
Rachel pushed very hard to go with Project A rather than Project B. There have been several cost overruns, the project is two weeks beyond its projected finish date, and the technology just isn't working out as planned. Rachel increases the funding for the third time and hires three new designers to help revamp the look of the product. Rachel is engaging in _____.
Answer: escalation of commitment
Explanation:
Escalation of commitment is when an individual or firm chooses an option which tends to be unsuccessful but the individual or firm still continues with the project because there has been investment which has already been made on it.
From the question, we are told that Rachel pushed very hard to go with Project A rather than Project B. From the information given, despite the fact that project A has been unsuccessful, Rachel continued with it and invested more in it rather than changing or leaving it for project B. This shows that Rachel is engaging in escalation of commitment.

UPS $65 0.7 billion $ 5 billion
FedEx $55 250 million $ 3 billion
We also have the following data on the securities of these firms:_______.
Beta E Beta D
UPS 0.8 0
FedEx 1.1 0.1
Assume that our firm has risk-free debt with market value $20 million and equity with market value $450 million. Assume that taxes are not relevant. Please estimate our firm’s equity beta
Answer:
The answer is "0.85 "
Explanation:
In order to locate a beta of the company, we must find the average beta of unlevered UPS and FedEx and find a levered beta of the company.
Price Outstanding shares(Billion) Market valu of equity(Billion) Market value of debt(billions) D/E Ratio
UPS 65 0.7 45.5 5 0.1099
FedEx 55 0.25 13.75 3 0.2182
[tex]Unlevered \ beta= \frac{levered \ beta}{(1+((1- tax rate)\times(\frac{Debt}{Equity})))}[/tex]
taxes desn't matter , given in the question so, assumed to be 0
[tex]Unlevered \ beta \ for \ UPS= \frac{0.8}{1+(1-0)\times (0.1099)}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{0.8}{1+(1)\times (0.1099)}\\\\= \frac{0.8}{1+(0.1099)}\\\\= \frac{0.8}{1.1099}\\\\=0.72[/tex]
[tex]Unlevered \ beta \ for \ FedEx= \frac{1.1}{1+(1-0)\times (0.2182)}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{1.1}{1+(1)\times (0.2182)}\\\\= \frac{1.1}{1+(0.2182)}\\\\= \frac{1.1}{1.2182}\\\\=0.90[/tex]
[tex]Average \ Unlevered \ beta = \frac{0.72+0.90}{2}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{1.62}{2}\\\\=0.81[/tex]
[tex]\text{levered beta of the delivery service firm }= unlevered \ beta \times(1+(1-taxes) \times (\frac{debt}{equity}))[/tex]
[tex]= 0.81 \times (1+(1-0)\times (\frac{20}{450})\\\\= 0.81 \times (1+(1)\times (0.04)\\\\= 0.81 \times (1+(0.04)\\\\= 0.81 \times (1.04)\\\\=0.85[/tex]
The following data pertain to the Oneida Restaurant Supply Company for the year just ended.
Budgeted sales revenue $205,000
Actual manufacturing overhead 336,000
Budgeted machine hours (based on practical capacity) 8,000
Budgeted direct-labor hours (based on practical capacity) 20,000
Budgeted direct-labor rate $14
Budgeted manufacturing overhead $364,000
Actual machine hours 11,000
Actual direct-labor hours 18,000
Actual direct-labor rate $15
Required:
a. Compute the firm's predetermined overhead rate for the year using each of the following common cost drivers: (a) machine hours, (b) direct-labor hours, and (c) direct-labor dollars.
b. Calculate the over-applied or under-applied overhead for the year using each of the cost drivers listed above.
Answer:
Predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted manufacturing rate/Allocation base
a. Machine hours
= 364,000 / 8,000
= $45.5
Predetermined overhead rate = $45.5
Direct-labor hours
= 364,000 / 20,000
= $18.2
Predetermined overhead rate = $18.2
Direct-labor dollars
Budgeted labor hours = 20,000 * $14 = $280,000
Predetermined overhead rate = 364,000 / $280,000 = $1.3
b. Machine hours
Manufacturing overhead applied = Actual machine hours * Predetermined overhead rate = $45.5 * 11,000 = $500,500
Over/Under applied overhead = 336,000 - 500,500
Over-applied overhead = $164,500
Direct-labor hours
Manufacturing overhead applied = Actual direct-labor hours * Predetermined overhead rate = $18.2 * 18,000 = $327,600
Over/Under applied overhead = 336,000 - 327,600
Under-applied overhead = $8400
Direct-labor dollars
Manufacturing overhead applied = Actual direct-labor hours * Actual direct-labor rate * Predetermined overhead rate
Manufacturing overhead applied = 18,000 * $15 * $1.3 = 351,000
Over/Under applied overhead = 336,000 - 351,000
Over-applied overhead = $15,000
we know that
Predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted manufacturing rate ÷ Allocation base
a. Machine hours
= 364,000 ÷8,000
= $45.5
Predetermined overhead rate = $45.5
Direct-labor hours
= 364,000 ÷ 20,000
= $18.2
Predetermined overhead rate = $18.2
Direct-labor dollars
Budgeted labor hours = 20,000 × $14 = $280,000
Predetermined overhead rate = 364,000 ÷ $280,000 = $1.3
b. Machine hours
Manufacturing overhead applied = Actual machine hours × Predetermined overhead rate
= $45.5 × 11,000
= $500,500
So,
Over/Under applied overhead = 336,000 - 500,500
Over-applied overhead = $164,500
Direct-labor hours
Manufacturing overhead applied = Actual direct-labor hours × Predetermined overhead rate
= $18.2 × 18,000
= $327,600
Over/Under applied overhead = 336,000 - 327,600
Under-applied overhead = $8400
Direct-labor dollars
Manufacturing overhead applied = Actual direct-labor hours × Actual direct-labor rate × Predetermined overhead rate
= 18,000 × $15 × $1.3
= 351,000
Over/Under applied overhead = 336,000 - 351,000
Over-applied overhead = $15,000

Explanation:
What are the five steps to understanding how foreign born labor impacts native born workers?
Answer:
HOW MUCH DO FOREIGN - BORN WORKERS EARN?
Foreign-born individuals typically earn less than native-born individuals — on average, 83 cents for every dollar earned by their native-born counterparts. That disparity generally holds true across age groups and education levels, with one significant exception. Foreign-born individuals with a bachelor’s degree or more had median weekly earnings of $1,362 per week in 2018, about $53 per week higher than the median for the native-born population with that level of education.
Composing powerful paragraphs is essential when striving for clear communication. Familiarize yourself with basic paragraph elements, various paragraph patterns, and strategies for building coherence.
Use the following paragraphs to answer the questions that follow.
Paragraph A: Last week, three of our Xcite executives closed a lucrative merger deal with Editionplus. The merger will add more than 500 accounts to our business and will increase our profits by 39 percent in less than a year. Additionally, the executives met with several Editionplus product designers and agreed on three new computer prototypes that we will produce during the next five years. This means we will expand our business to both Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
Paragraph B: Employee reaction has been mixed about our recent plans to expand to Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Many Xcite employees are concerned that the Los Angeles site will not have the same relaxed corporate environment as the current site. However, this is not the case: The relaxed corporate environment at the San Francisco site will be replicated in Los Angeles. The culture we have developed works for the company and our employees, and we don't plan to change it. Human resources executives are already interviewing San Francisco employees so they can capture and replicate the culture with ease.
Paragraph C: The leadership at the Xcite San Francisco site has been phenomenal during the last ten years. Everyone in senior-level positions has worked his or her way up the corporate ladder and has contributed greatly to the company's success. This team has increased our profits by 6 percent, expanded office space, hired additional IT support, and strengthened our IT infrastructure. These are just a few of this leadership team's many accomplishments. In the next two months, a new leadership team will be formed for the Los Angeles site. This team will consist of transferred employees from the San Francisco site. We will be offering many of you a chance to be part of this move. Additional training will be required for all who are transferring, and moving costs will not be covered. Xcite looks forward to opening another location with excellent products, high profits, and 100 percent employee and customer satisfaction.

If the amount of credit is 300,000 how much is the discount if the debtor is given a credit term of 2/10 N/30?show your
Answer:
6,000
Explanation:
In credit sales, 2/10 Net 30 means that the seller has offered the customer a trade discount. 2/10 net 30 is a conditional discount available if payment is made in 10 days. It's a 2% discount should the customer pay in 10 days, if not so, the full amount is due within 30 days.
The discount amount for 300,000 is 2 percent of 300,000.
=2/100 x 300,000
=0.02 x 300,000
=6,000
Broussard is already at full capacity, so its assets must grow at the same rate as projected sales. At the end of 2019, current liabilities were $1.4 million, consisting of $450,000 of accounts payable, $500,000 of notes payable, and $450,000 of accruals. The after-tax profit margin is forecasted to be 4%, and the forecasted payout ratio is 45%. Use the AFN equation to forecast Broussard's additional funds needed for the coming year. Enter your answer in dollars. For example, an answer of $1.2 million should be entered as $1,200,000.
Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
Answer: $412,600
Explanation:
AFN = Increase in assets - Increase in Liabilities - Addition to Retained Earnings
Increase in Assets
= 5,000,000 * 15%
= $750,000
Increase in Liabilities
For liabilities use only the Accounts payable and Accruals.
= (450,000 + 450,000) * 15%
= $135,000
Additional to Retained Earnings
= After tax Profit * ( 1 - Payout ratio)
= (9,200,000 * 4%) * ( 1 - 45%)
= $202,400
= 750,000 - 135,000 - 202,400
= $412,600
If there is a technological advance that lowers the cost of producing x-ray machines, then we can say that the
Answer:
C) quantity supplied of those machines will go up.
Explanation:
the options are missing:
A ) quantity demanded for those machines will increase.
B) demand for those machines will shift right.
C) quantity supplied of those machines will go up.
D) quantity supplied of those machines will decrease.
If production costs decrease, the supply curve will shift to the right, increasing the total quantity supplied while decreasing the sales price. Advances in technology increase productivity, which allows companies to supply a higher amount of goods at lower prices, which in turn increases the total quantity demanded for these goods.

Sparky Corporation uses the weighted-average method of process costing. The following information is available for February in its Molding Department:
Units:
Beginning Inventory: 30,000 units, 100% complete as to materials and 55% complete as to conversion.
Units started and completed: 120,000.
Units completed and transferred out: 150,000.
Ending Inventory: 32,500 units, 100% complete as to materials and 30% complete as to conversion.
Costs:
Costs in beginning Work in Process - Direct Materials: $48,000.
Costs in beginning Work in Process - Conversion: $53,850.
Costs incurred in February - Direct Materials: $328,050.
Costs incurred in February - Conversion: $604,150.
Required:
Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of materials.
Answer:
Cost per equivalent unit of material = $2.06
Explanation:
Total cost of material= Cost of material in beginning WIP + Cost of material incurred in February
= $48,000 + $328,050
= $376,050
Equivalent units = Number of units completed and transferred+ Ending inventory
= 150,000 units + 32,500 units
= 182,500 units
Cost per equivalent unit of material = Total cost of direct material / Equivalent units
= $376,050 / 182,500 units
= $2.06
