Answer:
more
less
more
Explanation:
The limit on unemployment benefits would increase the incentives to find a job because after the 2 years period is over, those without jobs would get no benefits from the government.
Income distribution becomes more unequal because those who don't find jobs after the 2 year period would have no income
The economy would become more efficient because there would be an increase in the number of people employed as a result of the policy and output would increase.

Daphne Inc., a steel manufacturing company, is planning to buy a new plant at $1,090,000. The life of the plant is estimated to be 5 years and has cash flows of $109,000, $218,000, $327,000, $436,000, and $545,000. Calculate the payback period for the new plant.
a. 5 years
b. 2 years
c. 4 years
d. 3 years
Answer:
The payback period is exactly 4 years.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment= $1,090,000
Cf1= 109,000
Cf2= 218,000
Cf3= 327,000
Cf4= 436,000
Cf5= 545,000
The payback period is the time required to cover the initial investment:
Year 1= 109,000 - 1,090,000= -981,000
Year 2= 218,000 - 981,000= -763,000
Year 3= 327,000 - 763,000= 436,000
Year 4= 436,000 - 436,000= 0
The payback period is exactly 4 years.
The strategy underlying price discrimination is Group of answer choices to charge higher prices to customers who have good substitutes available to them and lower prices to customers without many substitutes available to them.. to charge everyone the same price but limit the quantity they are allowed to buy. to increase total revenue by charging higher prices to those with the most inelastic demand for the product and lower prices to those with the most elastic demand. to reduce per-unit cost by charging higher prices to those with the most inelastic demand and lower prices to those with the most elastic demand.
Answer:
to increase total revenue by charging higher prices to those with the most inelastic demand for the product and lower prices to those with the most elastic demand.
Explanation:
Price discrimination is when the same product is sold at different prices to customers in different markets
types of price discrimination
1. first degree price discrimination : here sellers charge each consumer at their willingness to pay in order to eliminate consumer surplus.
2. second degree price discrimination : here firms offer different prices depending on the quantity purchased. e.g. giving discounts for bulk purchases.
3, third degree price discrimination : firms charge different prices to different groups of customers. e.g. having a certain price for senior citizens, students
Requirements to practice successful price discrimination
1. The firm must have market power. If the firm does not have market power and attempts to price discriminate they would lose customers
2. The firm must have different elasticities of demand for their product in different markets. the firm should charge the higher price in the market with the less elastic demand.
3. The firm must be able to segment the market for their products
4. the firm's product should have a lot of close substitutes.

Front Company had net income of $73,500 based on variable costing. Beginning and ending inventories were 900 units and 1,400 units, respectively. Assume the fixed overhead per unit was $7.95 for both the beginning and ending inventory. What is net income under absorption costing
Answer:
$77,475
Explanation:
Calculation to determine net income under absorption costing
Using this formula
Net income=Net income+(Ending inventories×fixed overhead per unit)- (Beginning Inventories × Fixed overhead per unit)
Let plug in the formula
Net income=$73,500 + (1,400 units x $7.95) - (900 x $7.95)
Net income=$73,500+$11,130-$7,155
Net income=$77,475
Therefore net income under absorption costing is $77,475

The Assembly Department produced 1,000 units of product during March. Each unit required 1.25 standard direct labor hours. There were 1,300 actual hours used in the Assembly Department during March at an actual rate of $12 per hour. The standard direct labor rate is $12.5 per hour.
Required:
Assuming direct labor for a month is paid on the fifth day of the following month, journalize the direct labor in the Assembly Department on March 31.
Answer:
Debit Work in process for $15,625
Debit Direct labor time variance for $625
Credit Direct labor rate variance for $650
Credit Wage payable for $15,600
Explanation:
Before preparing the journal, the following calculations are done first:
Wage payable = Actual hours * Actual rate per hour = 1,300 * $12 = $15,600
Direct labor time variance = (Actual hours - Standard hours) * Standard direct labor rate = (1,300 - (1,000 * 1.25)) * $12.50 = $625 Unfavorable
Note: Direct labor time variance is Unfavorable because Actual hours is greater than Standard hours.
Direct labor rate variance = (Actual rate - Standard rate) * Actual hours = ($12 - $12.50) * 1,300 = -$650 Favorable
Note: Direct labor rate variance if Favorable because Actual rate is lower than the Standard rate.
Work in process = Wage payable + Absolute value of direct labor rate variance - Direct labor time variance = $15,600 + $650 - $625 = $15,625
The journal entries will now look as follows:
Date Particulars Debit ($) Credit ($)
Mar. 31 Work in process 15,625
Direct labor time variance 625
Direct labor rate variance 650
Wage payable 15,600
(To record the direct labor in the Assembly Department.)
High-Low Method
The manufacturing costs of Ackerman Industries for the first three months of the year follow:
Total Costs Units Produced
January $1,900,000 20,000 units
February 2,250,000 27,000
March 2,400,000 30,000
Using the high-low method, determine (a) the variable cost per unit and (b) the total fixed cost.
a. Variable cost per unit $
b. Total fixed cost $
Answer:
Variable cost per unit= $50
Fixed costs= $900,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total Costs Units Produced
January $1,900,000 20,000 units
February 2,250,000 27,000
March 2,400,000 30,000
To calculate the unitary variable cost and the fixed cost under the high-low method, we need to use the following formulas:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (2,400,000 - 1,900,000) / (30,000 - 20,000)
Variable cost per unit= $50
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 2,400,000 - (50*30,000)
Fixed costs= $900,000
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 1,900,000 - (50*20,000)
Fixed costs= $900,000
Using the reciprocal services method, which of the following equations represents the algebraic expressions for the two equations needed to capture the total costs of a Janitorial Department (J) that includes not only $500,000 of direct costs but also 20% of the Maintenance Department (M) cost and a Maintenance Department that includes not only $250,000 of direct costs but also 40% of the Janitorial Department? (Hint: This equation is derived from the two separate equations representing each department's costs.)
a. J = ($500,000 × 0.20) + [($250,000 × 0.20) + J]
b. J = $500,000 – (0.20 × $250,000) – (0.20 × J)
c. J = $500,000 + [(0.20 ÷ $250,000) + (0.40 ÷ J)]
d. J = $500,000 + {0.20 × [$250,000 + (0.40 × J)]}
Answer:
The equation that represents the algebraic expressions for the two equations needed to capture the total costs of the Janitorial Department is:
d. J = $500,000 + {0.20 × [$250,000 + (0.40 × J)]}
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Direct costs Percent of Service Dept.
Janitorial Department (J) $500,000 20% of M
Maintenance Department (M) $250,000 40% of J
b) The reciprocal services method reapportions the costs of the service departments to other service departments using a system of simultaneous equations. With its complications, the reciprocal method is the most accurate and equitable method for apportioning service departments' costs to production departments.
Bow-Wow Company manufactures a product with a unit variable cost of $50 and a unit sales price of $88. Fixed manufacturing costs were $240,000 when 10,000 units were produced and sold. The company has a one-time opportunity to sell an additional 1,000 units at $70 each in a foreign market which would not affect its present sales. If the company has sufficient (excess) capacity to produce the additional units, acceptance of the special order would affect net income as follows:
a. Income would decrease by $4,000.
b. Income would increase by $4,000.
c. Income would increase by $70,000.
d. Income would increase by $20,000.
Crawley, Inc. has a line of credit with HNC Bank that allows the company to borrow up to $800,000 at an interest rate of 12 percent. However, Crawley, Inc. must keep a compensating balance of 18 percent of any amount borrowed on deposit at the bank. Crawley, Inc. does not normally keep a cash balance account with HNC Bank. What is the effective annual cost of credit?
Answer: 14.63%
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the effective annual cost of credit will be calculated as:
Effective annual cost of credit = [Interest rate/ (100 - Deposit Rate)] x 100
= [12 /(100 - 18)] x 100
= (12 / 82) × 100
= 0.1463 × 100
= 14.63%
The effective annual cost of credit is 14.63%.
Joss is a marketing consultant. Iris and Daphne are potential customers interested in commissioning Joss to undertake a market survey and compile the findings in a report. Iris is willing to pay $500 for the service while Daphne is willing to pay $800. Suppose that the opportunity cost of Joss's time is $1,200. Assume that Iris and Daphne do not know each other. Which of the following statements is true?
a. only Iris will purchase Joss's services and Joss will undertake the job for her.
b. only Daphne will purchase Joss's services and Joss will undertake the job for her.
c. both Iris and Daphne will purchase Joss's services and Joss will undertake the job.
d. both Iris and Daphne will want to purchase Joss's services but Joss will not be willing to undertake the job.
Answer: d. both Iris and Daphne will want to purchase Joss's services but Joss will not be willing to undertake the job.
Explanation:
Iris will want Joss's services but they will be unable to afford them as Iris is only willing to pay $500 whereas Joss wants $1,200 for the job.
The same goes for Daphne who is only willing to pay $800.
Both of them will therefore want to hire Joss but will be unable to.
Joss could however charge both of them their willingness to pay and then sum the cash up and give them both the research whilst still making a profit.

In addition to cost, what factors should be considered in selecting a building contractor? What can go wrong if the lowest bid is selected and nothing else is considered?
Answer:
The proper answer about what the question asked is explained below.
Explanation:
To begin with, when it comes to the construction area there are a lot of factors to consider at the time of selecting a building constructor. It is not just about the cost, but most importantly of all about the level of quality and recognition the constructor has in its business area. As well as the knowledge that will come all in the same package because the person that is in charge of constructing a building must be a professional in that. So eventhough the cost is important for the business the quality of the service hired is further more important. That is because in the case the lowest bid is selected and it turns out that it is not a very good one then future trouble can come with that decision, like piping problems or gas problems or structures problems, etc. And that will not only led to more future expenses but also to possible damage to some lives.
If contribution margin is $220000, sales is $400000, and net income is $180000, then variable and fixed expenses are:________
Answer:
Total variable cost= $180,000
Fixed costs= $40,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Contribution margin= $220,000
Sales= $400,000
Net income= $180,000
The contribution margin formula is as follow:
Total Contribution margin= sales - total variable cost
Therefore, we need to isolate the total variable cost and replace the variable with the data:
Total variable cost= sales - total contribution margin
Total variable cost= 400,000 - 220,000
Total variable cost= $180,000
Finally, the fixed costs:
Fixed costs= total contribution margin - net income
Fixed costs= 220,000 - 180,000
Fixed costs= $40,000
A granary allocates the cost of unprocessed wheat to the production of feed, flour, and starch. For the current period, unprocessed wheat was purchased for $120,000, and the following quantities of product and sales revenues were produced.
Product Pounds Price per Pound
Feed 100,000 $ 0.70
Flour 50,000 2.20
Starch 20,000 1.00
How much of the $120,000 cost should be allocated to flour if the value basis is used?
a) $24,500.
b) $84,000.
c) $66,000.
d) $70,000.
e) $200,000.
Answer:
c) $66,000.
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
The value allocated is as follows:
Feed (100,000 × 0.7)=70,000
Flour (50,000 × 2.2)=110,000
Starch (20,000 × 1)=20,000
Total 200,000
Now allocation to the flour is
= (110,000 ÷ 200,000 × 120,000)
= $66,000
hence, the option c is correct

O 5%; lender
O 8%; lender
Answer:
The new real interest rate is 15%
and the lender was hurt.
O 15%; lender
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Fixed nominal interest rate = 13%
Real interest rate for the bank's profit margin = 10%
Inflation rate = 3% (13% - 10%)
Unanticipated inflation rate = 7%
Nominal interest rate = 17% (10% + 7%)
But the bank could not increase its fixed nominal interest rate to match the nominal interest rate.

At the end of the first year of operations, 21,500 units remained in the finished goods inventory. The unit manufacturing costs during the year were as follows:
Direct materials $30
Direct labor 18
Fixed factory overhead 22
Variable factory overhead 14
Required:
Determine the cost of the finished goods inventory reported on the balance sheet under (a) the absorption costing concept and (b) the variable costing concept.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the cost of the finished goods inventory reported is as follows:
Absorption costing is
= ($30 + $18 + $22 + $14) × 21,500 units
= $1,806,000
And,
Variable costing is
= ($30 + $18 + 14) × 21,500
= $1,333,000
In this way the cost of the finished goods inventory should be determined
When interest is compounded continuously, the amount of money increases at a rate proportional to the amount S present at time t, that is, dS/dt=rS, where r is the annual rate of interest.
a) Find the amount of money accrued at the end of 5 years when $6000 is deposited in a savings account drawing 534% annual interest compounded continuously. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
b) In how many years will the initial sum deposited have doubled? (Round your answer to the nearest year.)
c) Use a calculator to compare the amount obtained in part a) with the amount S=6000(1+14(0.0575))5(4) that is accrued when interest is compounded quarterly. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
Given that;
A = P(1 + r/n)^nt
Where;
P= $6000
r = 5 3/4%
t = 5 years
n= 1
A = 6000(1 + 0.0575)^5
A= $ 7935
b) What time will A become $12,000
12000 = 6000(1 + 0.0575)^t
12000/6000 = (1 + 0.0575)^t
2 = (1 + 0.0575)^t
Take logarithm of both sides
log2 = t log(1 + 0.0575)
t= log2/log(1 + 0.0575)
t= 0.3010/0.0243
t = 12 years
c) when compounded quarterly;
S= 6000(1 + 1/4(0.0575))^(5)(4)
S= $7982
The amount when interest is compounded quarterly is higher than when it is compounded annually because the interest increases as the number of compounding periods increases.

Berkeley Corporation has a policy of furnishing new automobiles to the athletic department of the local university. The automobiles are used for short periods of time by the extremely popular head basketball coach. When the automobiles are returned to Berkeley Corporation, they are sole to regular customers. The owner of Berkeley Corporation maintains that any such cars held for more than one year should qualify as Sec. 1231 property. Do you agree?
Answer:
Berkeley Corporation
No. I do not agree with the owner of Berkeley Corporation.
Vehicles or automobiles are section 1245 property and not section 1231.
Explanation:
The IRS regards Section 1231 properties to include buildings, machinery, land, timber, and other natural resources, unharvested crops, cattle, livestock, and leaseholds that are held in a business or trade for at least one year. They are used in trade and not for sale. On the other hand, Section 1245 properties include all depreciable or amortizable tangible personal property, such as furniture, automobiles, and equipment, or other intangible personal property, such as a patent or license.
Based on the information given, it's not section 1231. Therefore, I do not agree with the owner of Berkeley Corporation.
Section 1231 simply means a term that is used to describe a property relating to the United States Internal Revenue Code. Vehicles or automobiles are section 1245 property and not section 1231.
The Internal Revenue Service regards Section 1231 properties like buildings, machinery, land, timber, and other natural resources, unharvested crops, cattle, livestock, etc. Section 1245 represents properties that are depreciable like furniture, automobiles, equipment, etc.

A company rents a building with a total of 60,000 square feet, which are evenly divided between two floors. The company allocates the rent for space on the first floor at twice the rate of space on the second floor. The total monthly rent for the building is $36,000. How much of the monthly rental expense should be allocated to a department that occupies 12,000 square feet on the second floor
Answer:
Cost allocated= $7,200
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total number of square feet= 60,000
Total estimated costs= $36,000
Department square feet= 12,000
First, we need to calculate the cost allocation for each square foot:
Cost allocation rate= 36,000 / 60,000= $0.6 per square foot
Now, we can allocate costs to the department:
Cost allocated= 0.6*12,000
Cost allocated= $7,200
