Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. to gain a comparative advantage

2. to increase efficiency

Explanation:

Specialization involves concentrating on producing a few items that once can produce better than others.

Specializing in producing a  few preferred goods and services makes a person, company, or country more efficient in resource usage. They consume fewer inputs, such as labor, while making the goods and services. The use of fewer inputs is increasing efficiently, which makes their products cost less compared to competitors.

Specialization makes a company or individual an expert in what they do. Experts make quality products. High quality at competitive prices gains a country or company comparative advantage over the others.

The City of Clear Lake signed a lease agreement with Mountainside Builders whereby Mountainside will construct a new office building for city administrative use and lease it to the City for 30 years. The fair market value of the building is $12 million. The City has agreed to make an initial payment of $822,441 and annual payments in the same amount for the next 29 years. (This assumes a 6 percent discount rate.) The lease includes a funding clause, which allows Clear Lake to terminate the lease agreement if the government does not appropriate funds for the lease payments. Clear Lake does not intend to exercise this option unless there is a financial emergency. Upon completion, the building had an appraised value of $13 million and an estimated useful life of 40 years.

Required:
Provide journal entries the city should make for both the capital projects fund and governmental activities at the government-wide level to record the lease at the date of inception.

Answers

Answer:

2. Increase = Increase + No effect

3. Increase = No effect + Increase

4. Decrease = No effect + Decrease

5. Decrease = No effect + Decrease

6. No effect = No effect + No effect

Explanation:

2. Purchase equipment by signing a note payable.

The double entry to record the purchase of equipment on credit will be as under:

Dr Equipment-Asset XX

Cr Note Payables-Liabilities         XX

Hence the Asset will increase and the liabilities will also increase

2. Increase = Increase + No effect

3. Provide services to customers on account.

The double entry to record the provision of services to customers on account will be as under:

Dr Accounts Receivables-Asset XX

Cr Revenue -Stockholder's Equilty          XX

Hence the Assets and Stockholder's Equilty of the company will be increased.

3. Increase = No effect + Increase

4. Pay rent for the current month.

The double entry would be:

Dr Rent Expense -Stockholder's Equilty          XX

Cr Cash account - Assets                                        XX

Both Assets account and Stockholder's Equilty will be decreased.

4. Decrease = No effect + Decrease

5. Pay insurance for the current month.

The double entry would be as under:

Dr Insurance Expense -Stockholder's Equilty XX

Cr Cash account - Assets                                        XX

Both Assets account and Stockholder's Equilty will be decreased.

5. Decrease = No effect + Decrease

6. Collect cash from customers on account.

The double entry would be as under:

Dr  Cash -Assets XX

Cr Accounts Receivables - Assets  XX

The net difference is zero hence there will be no difference.

6. No effect = No effect + No effect

Answer:

A specific trade agreement would be the US - Colombia trade agreement, which was signed on 2006.

Explanation:

This trade agreement reduced 80% of tariffs that used to applied to goods exported from the U.S. to Colombia, and from Colombia to the U.S.

The agreement benefits consumers in both countries because it allows each country to specialize in the production of those goods that they do best, for example, coffee in the case of Colombia, and industrial goods in the case of the United States.

However, because the United States is a much more powerful country, with a higher level of development, consumers in the US have benefited more than Colombian consumers.

c. Calculate Steelcase's accounts receivable turnover for 2014. (Use Accounts receivable, net for the calculation.) Round answer to one decimal place times
d. How much cash did Steelcase receive from customers in 2014? 3,005 million

Answers

Answer:

b. Gross Receivable = Net receivable +Allowance

2014 = $306.8 + $13 = $319.80

2013 = $287.3 + $14.5 = $301.8

Allowance as a % of Gross receivable = Allowance / Gross receivable

2014 = $13/319.80 = 0.041 =  4.1%

2013 = $14.5/301.8 = 0.015 = 1.5%

c. Average Net Accounts receivable = (Accounts receivable, net 2014 + Accounts receivable, net 2013) / 2 = ($306.8 + $287.3] / 2 = $297.05

Receivable Turnover = Net credit sales / Average Net Accounts receivable

Receivable Turnover = $2,989 / $297.05

Receivable Turnover = 10.06 Times

d) Cash received in 2014 = Beginning Gross receivables + Net sales - Ending Gross receivables-Adjustment in allowance (Write-off 2014)

Cash received in 2014 = $301.8 + $2,989 - $319.8 - $4.3

Cash received in 2014 = $2,966.7

Increase in customer deposits = $16 - 13.5 = $2.5

Total Cash received from customers in 2014 = Cash received in 2014 + Increase in customer deposits

Total Cash received from customers in 2014 = $2,966.7 + $2.5

Total Cash received from customers in 2014 = $2969.20

On September 1 of the current year,Scots Company experienced a flood that destroyed the company's entire inventory.Because the company had not completed its month end reporting for August,it must estimate the amount of inventory lost using the gross profit method.At the beginning of August,the company reported beginning inventory of $215,450.Inventory purchased during August was $192,530.Sales for the month of August were $542,500.Assuming the company's typical gross profit ratio is 40%,estimate the amount of inventory destroyed in the flood.A) $87,480B) $134,520C) $109,980D) $82,480E) $81,480

Answers

Answer:

D) $82,480

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of inventory destroyed is shown below:-

Cost of Goods available for sale

= Beginning Inventory + Inventory purchased

= $215,450 + $192,530

= $407,980

Cost of Goods Sold = Sales - Gross profit

= $542,500 - ($542,500 × 40%)

= $325,500

The Estimated amount of inventory destroyed

= Cost of Goods available for sale  - Cost of goods sold

= $407,980 - $325,500

= $82,480

Job 114 Job 115 Job 116
Direct materials $2,360 $2,647 $3,807
Direct labor 1,780 1,540 4,120
Applied overhead 1,157 1,001 2,678

During April, Sangvikar experienced the transactions listed below. Materials purchased on account, $28,520. Materials requisitioned: Job 114, $16,190; Job 115, $12,340; and Job 116, $4,850. Job tickets were collected and summarized: Job 114, 170 hours at $11 per hour; Job 115, 210 hours at $14 per hour; and Job 116, 90 hours at $17 per hour. Overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor cost. Actual overhead was $4,590. Job 115 was completed and transferred to the finished goods warehouse. Job 115 was shipped, and the customer was billed for 125 percent of the cost.

Required:

a. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor cost.
b. Calculate the ending balance for each job as of April 30.

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor cost.

Job 114:

Predetermined overhead rate = Overhead cost/Direct labor cost

= 1157/1780

= 65%

Job 115:

Predetermined overhead rate = Overhead cost/Direct labor cost

= 1001/1540

= 65%

Job 116:

Predetermined overhead rate = Overhead cost/Direct labor cost

= 2678/4120

= 65%

b. Calculate the ending balance for each job as of April 30

Job 114:

Beginning balance= 2360+1780+1157 = 5297

Material = 16190

Direct labor = 170 × 11 = 1870

Overhead = 1870 × 0.7 = 1309

Ending balance = 24666

Job 115:

Beginning balance= 2647+1540+1001 = 5188

Material = 12340

Direct labor = 210 × 14 = 2940

Overhead = 2940 × 0.7 = 2058

Ending balance = 22526

Less: Finished goods = 22526

Balance = 0

Job 116:

Beginning balance= 3807+4120+2678= 10605

Material = 4850

Direct labor = 90 × 17 = 1530

Overhead = 1530 × 0.7 = 1071

Answer:

1. Calculate the income elasticities of demand for the following:

A. Income rises by 20%; demand increases by 10%.

income elasticity of demand = % change in quantity demanded / % change in income

income elasticity of demand = 10% / 20% = 0.5, normal good

B. Income rises from $30,000 to $40,000; demand increases (at a constant price) from 16 to 19.

income elasticity of demand = 18.75% / 33.33% = 0.56, normal good

3 and 8. One football season Domino’s Pizza, a corporate sponsor of the Washington Redskins (a football team), offered to reduce the price of its $8 medium-size pizza by $1 for every touchdown scored by the Redskins during the previous week. Until that year, the Redskins weren’t scoring many touchdowns. Much to the surprise of Domino’s, in one week in 1999, the Redskins scored 1 touchdown. (Maybe they like pizza.) Domino’s pizzas were selling for $7 a pie! The quantity of pizzas demanded soared the following week from 50 pies an hour to 60 pies an hour. What was price elasticity of demand for Domino’s pizza?

price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity demanded / % change in price = 20% / -12.5% = -1.6 or |1.6| in absolute terms, price elastic

4. When tolls on the Dulles Airport Greenway were reduced from $2.00 to $0.75, traffic increased from 12,000 to 34,000 trips a day. Assuming all changes in quantity were due to the change in price, what is the price elasticity of demand for the Dulles Airport Greenway?

price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity demanded / % change in price = 183.33% / -62.5% = -2.93 or |2.93| in absolute terms, price elastic

5. Determine the price elasticity of demand if, in response to an increase in price of 20%, quantity demanded decreases by 25%.

price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity demanded / % change in price = -25% / 20% = -1.25 or |1.25| in absolute terms, price elastic

6. When the price of ketchup falls by 17%, the demand for hot dogs rises by 4%

cross price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity demanded of good A / % change of price of good B = 4% / -17% = -0.24, complements

C. In the original scenario, what would have to happen to the demand for hot dogs for us to conclude that hot dogs and ketchup are substitutes?

1. The demand for hot dogs would have to decline.

The cross price elasticity of demand for substitute goods is positive (-/- = +)

7. Calculate the income elasticities of demand for the following:

A. Income rises by 5%; demand increases by 5%.

income elasticity of demand = % change in quantity demanded / % change in income = 5% / 5% = 1, normal goods

b. Income rises from $75,000 to $90,000; demand increases (at a constant price) from 50 to 55.

income elasticity of demand = 10% / 20% = 0.5, normal good

What are the economic problems
typically facing developing nations
like Malaguena?

Answers

Answer:

Developing countries were hit hard by the financial and economic crisis, although the impact was somewhat delayed. Every country had different challenges to master. The closer the developing countries are interconnected with the world economy, the crasser the effects. And the incipient recovery that is becoming noticeable is, for the time being, restricted to only a few countries and regions.

The crisis was transmitted primarily by trade and financial flows forcing millions back into poverty. Attainment of the Millennium Development Goals is seriously jeopardised in many countries. Many developing countries did not and do not have the resources to stimulate the economy and protect their socially disadvantaged populations to the same extent as the industrialised countries. However, many countries have made considerable efforts to mitigate the effects. Developing countries have also increased their cooperation with one another and are urgently demanding a greater voice in global economic affairs.

Explanation:

Answer:

Economic problems in the developing world include corruption, poor infrastructure, lack of skilled labor, political instability, weak protection of intellectual rights, and the possibility of contacts being canceled on a whim. Relatively few people have reaped the rewards of economic prosperity.

Any questions?

The total tax liability for the year is $26,000. Thus, the correct answer is option d.

What is a tax liability?

Tax liability is the payment owed by an individual, business, or other entity to a federal, state, or local tax authority.

The tax liability for the year is calculated as-

The first quarter payment is $6,500

The total quarter in a year is 4.

Assuming equal quarterly payments, the tax bill for the year :

$6,500× 4 = $26,000

Therefore, the total tax bill for the year if they were equal quarterly payments is $26,000.

If a firm's beta was calculated as 1.6 in a regression equation, a commonly-used adjustment technique incorporating a weighting on long-run beta of 1.0 would provide an adjusted beta of

Answers

Answer: between 1 and 1.6

Explanation:

The Market Beta is 1.0 which is why in the long run, betas will equal 1 and so will move steadily towards 1 overtime.

The adjustment technique will therefore show a beta between 1 and 1.6 because the 1.6 will move on to 1 overtime.

To explain, the adjustment technique is as follows;

Adjusted beta = 2/3(sample beta) + 1/3(1)

= 2/3(1.6) + 1/3

= 1.4

The adjusted beta of 1.4 is between 1 and 1.6.

Answers

Answer:

Change in COGS= $78,000 increase

Explanation:

We know that to calculate the cost of goods sold, we use the following formula:

COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory

If the beginning inventory is understated, it will increase the value of COGS.

If the ending inventory is overstated, the COGS  increase.

Change in COGS= 26,000 + 52,000

Change in COGS= $78,000 increase

Read the following scenario and answer the question in 5 sentences at least.
You are the president of the American Association of Construction Manufacturers (AACM), a trade association that represents seven hundred companies who build and sell heavy construction equipment. Members have proposed a number of initiatives to advance AACM interests. First, some members want an AACM advocacy group to lobby Congress for relaxing trade barriers on importing raw materials and parts. Second, some of the smaller AACM members want an advertising campaign promoting the importance of the AACM in order to increase small firm membership. Third, some members propose to segregate regions of the United States into sales territories, whereby only certain members have access to certain customers within a geographic area. Fourth, a group of socially conscious AACM firms want its members to boycott a large supplier that sources from nations with poor human rights records. Evaluate the business and legal (antitrust) implications of each of these proposals.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

1. Business implication: if there are no trade barriers, it would enable them get better raw materials for their business and increase customer base

Legal anti trust implication: lobbying is illegal in some countries

2. Business implication: this would attract more manufacturers who were not previously members of the association which would in turn promote the goals of the association in improving trade amongst the manufacturers

Legal anti trust implication: associatio may be exposed to legal examination, example increased regulations

3 business implications:sales territories would invariably create a safe and secure investment for manufacturers such that there is less cost of marketing and campaigning as consumers are guaranteed

Legal implications: this is against anti trust laws and goes against free trade policies and illegal monopoly

4 business implications: boycotting this supplier could create an alternative source of raw materials which wouldn't be as efficient and even cost more

Legal implications: boycotting a large supplier such as this who might have a political backing might bring political retaliations from the supplier's political proxies who might create other regulations in the supplier's favour
