g If oil executives read in the newspaper that massive new oil supplies have been discovered under the Pacific Ocean but will likely only be useful in 10 years, what is likely to happen to the supply of oil today? What is the likely equilibrium impact on the price and quantity of oil today?
Answer:
a. What is likely to happen to the supply of oil today?
The supply of oil will increase today because the oil executives will no longer be worried about limiting supply on account of the current reserves running out because the oil reserves discovered that will be ready in 10 years will become the new supply source when the current reserves run out.
b. What is the likely equilibrium impact on the price and quantity of oil today?
As the supply oil will increase in the present, the Equilibrium quantity will increase.
With an increase in the equilibrium quantity, prices will decrease as oil will no longer be as scarce.
Cvs purchase of Aetna represents what type of fundamental strategy
Answer:
growth strategy
Explanation:
the options were missing:
defensive global growth divisional stabilityBy acquiring Aetna, CVS entered the health insurance industry. CVS was already one of the largest players in the health care industry since it owned one of the largest chain of pharmacies in the US and due to its size was able to negotiate discounts and other services with health care providers and drug producers.
The fact that one of the largest chain of pharmacies and retail health centers merges with one of the largest health insurers will give them competitive advantages, e.g. being capable of offering lower prices or earning higher higher profits (or both even).
Another important factor in this equation is consumer data, and that is going to be significant and the more information a company possesses and uses correctly, it can target more profitable consumer segments.
There are many other advantages including cutting costs, better customer service, etc.
During the current year, Elk Company incurred the following direct labor costs: January $40,000 and February $60,000. Elk uses a predetermined overhead rate of 120% of direct labor cost. Estimated overhead for the 2 months, respectively, totaled $39,000 and $71,400. Actual overhead for the 2 months, respectively, totaled $50,000 and $67,000. Was overhead under- or overapplied during January and by how much?
Answer:
January Overheads are under-applied by $2,000.
Explanation:
When,
Actual overheads > Applied overheads we say overheads are under-applied.
Actual overheads < Applied overheads we say overheads are over-applied.
Where,
Applied overheads = Predetermined overhead rate × Actual Activity
Therefore,
Applied overheads (January) = 120% × $40,000
= $48,000
Actual overheads (January) = $50,000.
Conclusion
It can be seen that from the above : Actual overheads : $50,000 > Applied overhead : $48,000, therefore overheads were under-applied.
Amount of under-applied overheads = $50,000 - $48,000
= $2,000
Annuities are a series of constant cash flows that have been received over a certain period of time. However, not all annuities are created equal. Some annuities adjust the payments based on certain macroeconomic factors. Growing annuities are a series of payments that grow at aconstant rate. You invested in an aggressive growth fund and expect to earn 14.84% annually over the next five years. However, due to strong growth, inflation is expected to be 7.35%. What should be your expected real rate of return
Answer:
Real interest rate= 0.0749= 7.49%
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
You invested in an aggressive growth fund and expect to earn 14.84% annually over the next five years. However, due to strong growth, inflation is expected to be 7.35%.
The inflation rate provokes the opposite effect than the interest rate. It decreases the value of money through time, reducing the purchasing price of the nominal value of money.
Real interest rate= nominal interest rate - inflation rate
Real interest rate= 0.1484 - 0.0735
Real interest rate= 0.0749= 7.49%

You manage an equity fund with an expected risk premium of 10% and a standard deviation of 14%. The rate on Treasury bills is 6%. Your client chooses to invest $60,000 of her portfolio in your equity fund and $40,000 in a T-bill money market fund. What is the reward-to-volatility (Sharpe) ratio for the equity fund
Answer: 0.71
Explanation:
The following can be deduced from the question:
Expected risk premium = 10%
Standard deviation = 14%.
Treasury bills rate = 6%.
The expected return of equity will be:
= 10% + 6%
= 16%
The reward to voltality ratio is calculated as:
(expected return - risk free rate )/standard deviation
= (16% -6%)/14%
= 10%/14%
=0.1/0.14
= 0.71
Last year there was no change in either the raw materials or the work in process beginning and ending inventories. However, finished goods, which had a beginning balance of $25,000, increased by $15,000. If the manufacturing costs incurred totaled $600,000 during the year, the cost of goods available for sale must have been:
Answer:
cost of goods available for sale= $625,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Finished goods beginning balance= $25,000
Total manufacturing costs= $600,000
To calculate the cost of goods available for sale, we need to use the following formula:
cost of goods available for sale= finished goods beginning balance + total manufacturing goods
cost of goods available for sale= 25,000 + 600,000
cost of goods available for sale= $625,000
One of the most important assumptions behind the calculation of quick ratio is that: The firm’s accounts receivables can be collected and converted into cash within the time period for which credit was granted The firm’s inventories are highly liquid and can be sold quickly with minimal loss of value to assist in the settlement of the firm’s financial obligations The firm’s accounts receivables will be collected late (after the expiration of the credit period) or are uncollectible
Answer:
The firm’s accounts receivables can be collected and converted into cash within the time period for which credit was granted
Explanation:
The calculation of the Quick Ratio is done with this formula:
Quick Ratio = ( Current Assets - Inventories ) / Current liabilities.
As we can see, inventories are substracted from the calculation, because, despite being classified as a current asset, they are not so easy to sell off (in other words, inventories are not that liquid).
Accounts receivable are included in the calculation. This is because the formula assumes that receivables can be collected in the same period that the liabilities are due.
The quick ratio is also known as the Acid Test.
amilton Company applies manufacturing overhead costs to products based on direct labor hours. The company estimates manufacturing overhead cost for the year to be $252,000 and direct labor hours to be 20,000. Actual overhead and actual direct labor hours for the year were $265,000 and 22,200 hours, respectively. Required: 1. Compute over- or underapplied overhead. 2a. Which accounts will be affected by the over- or underapplied manufacturing overhead
Answer:
a) $ 13000 under applied
b) Cost of goods sold $ 13,000 Debit
Factory Overhead $ 13000 Credit
Explanation:
Estimated Manufacturing overhead $252,000
Actual overhead $265,000
Estimated Direct labor hours 20,000
Actual direct labor hours 22,200
Actual overhead-Estimated Manufacturing overhead= $265,000 -$252,000
= $ 13000 under applied
When actual overhead is greater than estimated overhead then it under applied and if estimated overhead is greater than actual it is over applied.
Accounts affected by over and under applied overhead are cost of goods sold and work in process accounts.
The under applied overhead is debited to cost of goods sold account and Factory Overhead is credited to ensure the transfer of the remaining part of the factory overhead.
Similarly over applied overhead is credited to cost of goods sold account and Factory Overhead is debited to ensure the removal of the additional part of the factory overhead from cost of goods sold.
The entry in the above example would be
Cost of goods sold $ 13,000 Debit
Factory Overhead $ 13000 Credit
Which of the following can be filed by the defendant of a lawsuit?A) InjunctionB) ReplyC) ComplaintD) Answer
Answer:
D) Answer
Explanation:
Answer can be filed by the defendant of a lawsuit. This is basically a pleading or response that is filed by the defendant in order to respond to a complaint made by a plaintiff. So when a defendant files an answer, he pleads and presents the defenses or counter arguments by addressing the allegations or claims made by the plaintiff in the complaint. So this way the defendant defends himself/herself against the accusations that are made against the defendant.
Injunction is not valid here because it is a court order which requires an individual to take a particular action or stop doing a particular action.
Reply is also not a valid option because it is a pleading or response of a plaintiff to the defendant's demand for relief which the defendant appeals through the filed answer.
Complaint is also not a valid option because it is a pleading which is filed by the plaintiff. This pleading is filed in order to start a case or a civil action and this is presented in a form of a document.
You want to accumulate $1 million by your retirement date, which is 25 years from now. You will make 25 deposits in your bank, with the first occurring today. The bank pays 7% interest, compounded annually. You expect to receive annual raise of 3%, which will offset inflation, and you will let the amount you deposit each year also grow by 3% (i.e., your second deposit will be 3% greater than your first, the third will be 3% greater than the second, etc.). How much must your first deposit be if you are to meet your goal
Answer:
First deposit will be $11,213.87
Explanation:
To derive how much the first deposit must be, the deposit can be derived by using payment formula for growing annuity
P = FV x (r - g) / [(1 + r)^n - (1 + g)^n]
When FV = $1,000,000
r = 7%
g = 3%
n = 25
Hence, First payment will be:
P = 1,000,000 * (7% - 3%) / (1.07^25 - 1.03^25)
P = 1,000,000 * 4% / 5.427433 - 2.093778
P = 40,000 / 3.333655
P = 11998.842
P = $11,998.84
However, this formula is applicable when the payments are made at the end of the year. In this case the payments are upfront, occurring today. We need to adjust this first payment to reflect the early payment.
Hence, first payment = $11,998.84 / (1 + 7%)
First payment = $11,998.84 / (1 + 0.07)
First payment = $11,998.84 / 1.07
First payment = 11213.8691588785
First payment = $11,213.87

Answer:
Allocated MOH= $236,948
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated manufacturing overhead $236,800
Estimated direct labor cost $320,000
Actual direct labor cost $320,200
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 236,800/320,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $0.74 per direct labor dollar
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 0.74*320,200
Allocated MOH= $236,948

The following information was taken from the accounting records of Light Tool Corporation. Work in process inventory, beginning of the year $ 50,000 Cost of direct materials used 260,000 Direct labor cost applied to production 135,000 Cost of finished goods manufactured 897,750 Overhead assigned to production was $500,000. Compute the amount of the work in process inventory on hand at year-end.
Answer:
47,250
Explanation:
The manufacturing costs in the year is the sum of work in process inventory, at the beginning of the year, the cost of direct materials, the direct cost of labor and the overhead assigned to production as computed thus:
manufacturing costs=50,000+260,000+135,000+500,000
manufacturing costs=945,000
amount of the work in process inventory on hand at year-end=manufacturing costs-cost of finished goods manufactured
amount of the work in process inventory on hand at year-end=945,000-897,750= 47,250

Answer:
8000
$30,000
d.18,000
Explanation:
Breakeven quantity are the number of units produced and sold at which net income is zero
Breakeven quantity = fixed cost / price – variable cost per unit
Fixed costs are costs that do not vary with output. e,g, rent, mortgage payments
Fixed costs = $100,000 + $20,000 = $120,000
Variable costs are costs that vary with production
variable costs per unit = $15 + $10 = $25
Price = $40
Break even quantity = $120,000 / $40 - $25 = 8000
Profit = total revenue - total cost
Total revenue = price x quantity sold
$40 x 10,000 = $400,000
Total cost = fixed cost + total variable cost
total variable cost = variable cost per unit x quantity sold
$25 x 10,000 = $250,000
total cost = $250,000 + $120,000 = $370,000
Profit = $400,000 - $370,000 = $30,000
C.
Price = $35
quantity = x
profit = $60,000
$60,000 = $35x - ($120,000 + $25x)
solving for x
$180,000 = $10x
x = 18,000

Torino Company has 2,700 shares of $10 par value, 6.0% cumulative and nonparticipating preferred stock and 27,000 shares of $10 par value common stock outstanding. The company paid total cash dividends of $1,000 in its first year of operation. The cash dividend that must be paid to preferred stockholders in the second year before any dividend is paid to common stockholders is:
Answer: $2240
Explanation:
Preferred shareholders have priority over the income of a company as they're paid dividends before the common shareholders. The common stockholders are the ones that are paid last after the preferred shareholders and creditors have all been paid.
The dividend on the preferred shares will be calculated as:
= 2700 × 10 × 6%
= 2700 × 10 × 0.06
= 1620
Tge dividend in arrears fir the first year will be calculated as:
= 1620 - 1000
= 620
Dividend for the second year will be:
= 1620
Dividend that'll be paid to preferred shareholders will be:
= $620 + $1620

Oriole’s Electronic Repair Shop started the year with total assets of $300000 and total liabilities of $208000. During the year, the business recorded $523000 in electronic repair revenues, $319000 in expenses, and Oriole withdrew $49300. Oriole's Owner’s Capital balance changed by what amount from the beginning of the year to the end of the year?
Answer:
$154,700
Explanation:
The computation of the change in amount is shown below
But before that first find out the ending capital balance which is
= (Total assets - total liabilities) + (revenues - expenses) - drawings
= ($300,000 - $208,000) + ($523,000 - $319,000) - $49,300
= $92,000 + $204,000 - $49,300
= $92,000 + $154,700
= $246,700
Now the change in capital balance is
= Closing balance - opening balance
= $246,700 - $92,000
= $154,700

Use the following two links to answer the following questions: Nominal Wages (W) Price index CPI (P) a) (5 points) Calculate the real wage (W/P) the first month of the recession 12/07 and compare it to the last month of the recession 6/09. What is the percent change in the real wage during this most recent recession
Answer:
3.45%
Explanation:
the real wage at the beginning of the recession (12/07) = nominal wage / price index Dec. 2007 = $17.70 / 2.1141 = $8.3721
the real wage at the end of the recession (6/09) = nominal wage / price index June 2009 = $18.53 / 2.14527= $8.6609
% change in real wage = [($8.6609 - $8.3721) / $8.3721] x 100 = 3.44955% = 3.45%
Due to the recession, the price index changed less than the nominal wages since the inflation rate was very low. It is normal that during recessions, specially severe ones, the inflation rate decreases or even turns negative (what happened in Europe in those years).
