Suppose that the owner of Boyer Construction is feeling the pinch of increased premiums associated with workersâ compensation and has decided to cut the wages of its two employees (Albert and Sid) from $25 per hour to $21 per hour. Assume that Albert and Sid view income and leisure as "goods," that both experience a diminishing rate of marginal substitution between income and leisure, and that the workers have the same before- and after-tax budget constraints at each wage. Albert and Sid's opportunity set is presented below:What is the value of A when the wage is $25?What is the value of A when the wage is $21?At the wage of $25 per hour, both Albert and Sid are observed to consume 14 hours of leisure (and equivalently supply 10 hours of labor). After wages were cut to $21, Albert consumes 12 hours of leisure and Sid consumes 16 hours of leisure. Determine the number of hours of labor each worker supplies at a wage of $21 per hour:Albert's supply of labor = _______Sid's supply of labor = ________How can you explain the seemingly contradictory result that the workers supply a different number of labor hours?A. Albert has no income effect, and Sid has no substitution effect when the wage declines to $21.B. Albert's substitution effect dominates his income effect when the wage declines to $21, and vice versa for Sid.C. Albert has no substitution effect, and Sid has no income effect when the wage declines to $21.D. Albert's income effect dominates his substitution effect when the wage declines to $21, and vice versa for Sid.
epartments have estimated annual factory overhead costs of $256,000 and $480,000, respectively. The Fabrication Dept. expects 25,000 machine hours this year. The Assembly Dept. expects $592,000 DL cost this year. Calculate the factory overhead cost that will be charged to each unit of the two products using multiple production dept. factory overhead rates (round to nearest $0.00).
Answer:
Factory overhead cost charged to each unit:
Fabrication Assembly
Factory overhead rates $10.24 $0.81
Machine hours per unit 5
Direct labor cost per unit $118.40
Factory overhead cost per unit $51.20 $95.90
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Fabrication Assembly
Annual overhead costs $256,000 $480,000
Expected machine hours 25,000 0
Expected direct labor costs 0 $592,000
Overhead rates $10.24 $0.81
($256,000/25,000) ($480,000/$592,000)
Assuming number of units produced = 5,000
Each unit will consume 5 (25,000/5,000) $118.40 ($592,000/5,000)
machine hours direct labor cost
Overhead cost per unit = $51.20 $95.90

Discretionary fiscal policy will stabilize the economy most when Group of answer choices deficits are incurred during recessions and surpluses during inflations. deficits are incurred during inflations and surpluses during recessions budget surpluses are continuously incurred. the budget is balanced each year.
Answer:
deficits are incurred during recessions and surpluses during inflations
Explanation:
Discretionary fiscal policies are deliberate steps taken by the government to stimulate the economy in order to cause the economy to move to full employment and price stability more quickly than it might otherwise.
Discretionary fiscal policies can either be expansionary or contractionary
Expansionary fiscal policy is when the government increases the money supply in the economy either by increasing spending or cutting taxes. These policies are carried out in a recession when the government wants to increase total spending
Contractionary fiscal policies is when the government reduces the money supply in the economy either by reducing spending or increasing taxes . These policies are carried out in periods of inflation when the government wants to reduce money supply in the economy
Based upon the following data for a business with a periodic inventory system, determine the cost of merchandise sold for August. Merchandise inventory, August 1 $ 96,610 Merchandise inventory, August 31 100,530 Purchases 254,660 Purchases returns and allowances 13,340 Purchases discounts 6,320 Freight in 4,070Cost of Merchandise Sold for August = ______.

Molly sells bracelets to Jean's Place, a boutique store. Molly is scheduled to deliver 100 bracelets on July 1. On June 15, Jean, the owner of Jean's Place calls Molly and says "I might not be able to pay for your bracelets." Molly does not deliver the bracelets on July 1. Jean can probably recover from Molly for breach of contract. Group of answer choices True False
Answer: False
Explanation:
The contract is such that Molly agreed to bring bracelets if Jean would pay for said bracelets.
The terms of the contract therefore are that Jean would pay and Molly would deliver. Jean then calls Molly and says that they will be unable to pay which means that they are not going to be able to hold up their responsibilities in the contract.
Molly has the right to then cancel the contract because the other party will not be able to perform their obligations and face no repercussion for it.

On June 15, Oakley Inc. sells inventory on account to Sunglass Hut (SH) for $4,500, terms 4/10, n/30. On June 20, SH returns to Oakley inventory that SH had purchased for $1,000. On June 24, SH completely fulfills its obligation to Oakley by making a cash payment. What is the amount of cash paid by SH to Oakley
Answer: $3360
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the amount of cash paid by SH to Oakley will be calculated as thus:
SH will be entitled to a discount of 4% since the payment was made within the discount period, therefore, the discount that is applicable will be:
= $4500 - $1000
= $3,500
Therefore, the amount of cash payment that is made by SH to Oakley will be:
= $3,500 - (4% × $3,500)
= $3500 - (0.04 × $3500)
= $3500 - $140
= $3360
Therefore, the amount of cash paid by SH to Oakley is $3360.
A trial balance is a(n) (list/balance/chart)
of accounts and their balances at a point in time and is used to confirm that the sum of debit account balances equals the sum of
account balances. Use one word for each blank.
Answer:
- List; credit
"A trial balance is a(n) list of accounts and their balances at a point in time and is used to confirm that the sum of debit account balances equals the sum of credit account balances."
Explanation:
'Trial Balance' is described as the 'statement of the balances of all nominal accounts in a double-entry ledger.' It is primarily made with the aim to examine the equality in the debit, as well as, credit balances. As per the accounting rules, the total value of the debits must be equal to the total of credit values. Any difference or discrepancy in the balance signals that an error has been made in the calculation or making the entries and certain transactions are missed out. Thus, the correct words would be 'list and credit.'

Epsilon Co. can produce a unit of product for the following costs: Direct material $ 8 Direct labor 24 Overhead 40 Total costs per unit $ 72 An outside supplier offers to provide Epsilon with all the units it needs at $60 per unit. If Epsilon buys from the supplier, the company will still incur 40% of its overhead. Epsilon should choose to:
Answer:
If the company produces the units, it will save $4.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the relevant cost of making the units in-house. We will consider only the incremental overhead cost:
Make in-house:
Direct material= 8
Direct labor= 24
Avoidable Overhead= 40*0.6= 24
Total cost= $56
Buying:
Total cost= $60
If the company produces the units, it will save $4.
Travis and Andrea were divorced in 2017. Their only marital property consisted of a personal residence (fair market value of $400,000, cost of $200,000), and publicly traded stocks (fair market value of $800,000, cost basis of $500,000). Under the terms of the divorce agreement, Andrea received the personal residence and Travis received the stocks. In addition, Andrea was to receive $50,000 for eight years. I. If the $50,000 annual payments are to be made to Andrea or her estate (if she dies before the end of the eight years), the payments will qualify as alimony. II. Andrea has a taxable gain from an exchange of her one-half interest in the stocks for Travis' one-half interest in the house and cash. III. If Travis sells the stocks for $900,000, he must recognize a $400,000 gain. a.I, II, and III are true. b.Only III is true. c.Only I and II are true. d.Only I and III are true.
Answer: B. b.Only III is true.
Explanation:
It should be noted that in order to qualify as an alimony, then the cash payments have to stop when the payer dies.
It should be noted that the $50,000 annual payments that are to be made to Andrea or her estate if she dies before the end of the eight years doesn't qualify as alimony.
Therefore, the correct option will be that If Travis sells the stocks for $900,000, he must recognize a $400,000 gain.
Therefore, only III is correct.
Fuente, Inc., has identified an investment project with the following cash flows. Year Cash Flow 1 $ 1,070 2 1,300 3 1,520 4 2,260 a. If the discount rate is 8 percent, what is the future value of these cash flows in Year 4
Answer:
Total FV= $6,765.82
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Year Cash Flow 1 $ 1,070 2 1,300 3 1,520 4 2,260
Discount rate= 8%
To calculate the total future value, we need to use the following formula on each cash flow:
FV= Cf*(1 + i)^n
FV1= 1,070*(1.08^3)= 1,347.9
FV2= 1,300*(1.08^2)= 1,516.32
FV3= 1,520*1.08= 1,641.6
FV4= 2,260
Total FV= $6,765.82
Maricopa's Success scholarship fund receives a gift of $ 160000. The money is invested in stocks, bonds, and CDs. CDs pay 4.5 % interest, bonds pay 5.8 % interest, and stocks pay 8.4 % interest. Maricopa Success invests $ 15000 more in bonds than in CDs. If the annual income from the investments is $ 10450 , how much was invested in each account
Answer:
Maricopa's Success invested $40,000 in CDs, $55,000 in bonds and $65,000 in stocks.
Explanation:
Since Maricopa's Success scholarship fund receives a gift of $ 160,000, and the money is invested in stocks, bonds, and CDs, and CDs pay 4.5% interest, bonds pay 5.8% interest, and stocks pay 8.4% interest, and Maricopa Success invests $ 15000 more in bonds than in CDs, if the annual income from the investments is $ 10,450, to determine how much was invested in each account, the following calculation must be performed:
15,000 x 0.045 + 30,000 x 0.058 + 115,000 x 0.084 = 675 + 1740 + 9660 = 12,075
30,000 x 0.045 + 45,000 x 0.058 + 85,000 x 0.084 = 1350 + 2610 + 7140 = 11,100
37,500 x 0.045 + 52,500 x 0.058 + 70,000 x 0.084 = 1687.5 + 3045 + 5880 = 10,612.5
40,000 x 0.045 + 55,000 x 0.058 + 65,000 x 0.084 = 1800 + 3190 + 5460 = 10,450
Therefore, Maricopa's Success invested $ 40,000 in CDs, $ 55,000 in bonds and $ 65,000 in stocks.
