Answer:
the economic order quantity is 313 units
Explanation:
The computation of the economic order quantity is shown below:
= sqrt( 2 ×annual demand × ordering cost) (carrying cost)
= sqrt(2 × 95,30 × $72) ÷ $14
= 313 units
hence, the economic order quantity is 313 units
The same should be considered and relevant
Productivity Question 3 options: is nearly the same across countries, and so provides no help explaining differences in the standard of living across countries. explains very little of the differences in the standard of living across countries. explains some, but not most of the differences in the standard of living across countries. explains most of the differences in the standard of living across countries.
Answer:
explains most of the differences in the standard of living across countries.
Explanation:
Gross Domestic Products (GDP) is a measure of the total market value of all finished goods and services made within a country during a specific period.
Simply stated, GDP is a measure of the total income of all individuals in an economy and the total expenses incurred on the economy's output of goods and services in a particular country.
Basically, the four (4) major expenditure categories of GDP are consumption (C), investment (I), government purchases (G), and net exports (N).
Productivity is a measure of how efficient is the manufacturing of finished goods and services in a country. Thus, it's a measure of total output with respect to input such as capital, labour, and other resources.
Generally, productivity is a ratio of output (product) to the resources (input) that is required to produce the product and as such determines the economic output of a particular country, as well as the standard of living of its population.
Hence, productivity explains most of the differences in the standard of living across countries based on the value of output generated with a unit of input.
The RRR Company has a target current ratio of 3.2. Presently, the current ratio is 4.1 based on current assets of $12,956,000. If RRR expands its fixed assets using short-term liabilities (maturities less than one year), how much additional funding can it obtain before its target current ratio is reached
Answer:
$888,750
Explanation:
The amount of additional funding required is the excess of revised current liabilities based on the current ratio is 3.2 compared with the current liabilities based on the current ratio of 4.1(the one we have currently).
Current ratio=current assets/current liabilities
Current situation:
current ratio=4.1
current assets=$12,956,000
current liabilities=unknown(let us assume it is X)
4.1=$12,956,000/X
4.1*X=$12,956,000
X=$12,956,000/4.1
X=$3,160,000
Revised situation:
target current ratio=3.2
current assets=$12,956,000
current liabilities=unknown(let us assume it is Y)
3.2=$12,956,000/Y
3.2*Y=$12,956,000
Y=$12,956,000/3.2
Y=$4,048,750
additional funding=$4,048,750-$3,160,000
additional funding increase=$888,750
Identify the following is structural, frictional, cyclical and seasonal employment.
a. Andrew recently lost his job as an accountant for a large firm because he only knows how to perform the job using a general ledger (paper and pencil), and has been unwilling to learn how to use newly invented accounting software provided by the company.
b. Sam recently lost his job as an accountant for a large firm because he only knows how to perform the job a using a general ledger and has been unwilling to learn how to use newly invented accounting software provided by the company.
c. Teresa just graduated from college and is looking for a full time position with an investment banking firm.
d. A recent recession has reduced the number visitors to a local theme park. The park has had to lay off many of its employee, including Beth.
Answer:
Frictional unemployment occurs when people decided to leave their jobs and look for another or people join the labor force for the first time.
Structural unemployment arises from a situation where there is a mismatch between the skills needed in an economy and the skills possessed by people. Happens a lot when employees need to adapt to new technology.
Cyclical unemployment happens as a result of the economy either growing or shrinking.
a. Andrew recently lost his job as an accountant for a large firm because he only knows how to perform the job using a general ledger (paper and pencil), and has been unwilling to learn how to use newly invented accounting software provided by the company. ⇒ STRUCTURAL UNEMPLOYMENT.
b. Sam recently lost his job as an accountant for a large firm because he only knows how to perform the job a using a general ledger and has been unwilling to learn how to use newly invented accounting software provided by the company. ⇒ STRUCTURAL UNEMPLOYMENT.
c. Teresa just graduated from college and is looking for a full time position with an investment banking firm. ⇒ FRICTIONAL UNEMPLOYMENT.

An American worker is hired by a German consulting firm operating in New York. They pay him $50,000 in wages. The new worker's contribution is to bring a new client to the firm that buys consulting services for $70,000 . Assume no other new cost was involved in this other than the wage. The client is a Mexican firm located in Mexico City. Which of the following is correct
a. National income increases by $50,000 and factor payments to abroad increase by $20,000, so US GDP increases by $70,000
b. Consumption increases by $70,000 and imports increase by $70,000,50 US GDP remains unchanged
c. Consumption increases by $50,000 and exports increase by $20,000, so US GDP increases by $70,000
d. National income increases by $50,000 and factor payments from abroad increase by $50,000, so US GDP remains unchanged
Answer:
a. National income increases by $50,000 and factor payments to abroad increase by $20,000, so US GDP increases by $70,000
Explanation:
The German firm hired an American worker and paid him $50,000. That means that American national income will increase by $50,000.
Since the company is German, that would increase factor payments ot abroad by the difference = $70,000 - $50,000 = $20,000.
Total GDP increases by the amount of $50,000 + $20,000 = $70,000
Why is keeping a journal about what is good and bad regarding your summer or part-time work a good idea to help you choose a career path
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Keeping a journal about what is good and bad regarding my summer or part-time work is a good idea to help me choose a career path because writing down what I like and what I dislike, I can get a pretty close idea of the things I enjoy and have more skills to perform, compared to the things I do not like or I have no abilities at all.
If a clearly identify my skills and abilities in the workplace during the summer, it will be easier for me to identify what could be the profession I love or at least, what I am attracted to.
As it is difficult to remember all the work experience by memory, writing the journal will help me to remember exact dates, specific activities that I enjoyed or were interesting, and what was not.

Juniper Company uses a perpetual inventory system and the gross method of accounting for purchases. The company purchased $9,750 of merchandise on August 7 with terms 1/10, n/30. On August 11, it returned $1,500 worth of merchandise. On August 16, it paid the full amount due. The amount of the cash paid on August 16 equals:___.
A. $8, 167.50.
B. $9, 652.50.
C. $9, 750.00.
D. $8, 250.00.
E. $8, 152.50.
Answer:
A. $8, 167.50
Explanation:
The fact Juniper company returned $1,500 worth of merchandise, means that it is only obliged to pay the amount of $8,250($9,750-$1,500).
However, the payment was made on 16th August, which is the discount period of 10 days, hence, the cash paid on August 16 is computed thus:
cash paid=amount of merchandise owed*(1-discount rate)
discount rate=1%(1% discount if payment is made within 10 days of the purchase date)
cash paid=$8,250*(1-1%)
cash paid=$ 8,167.50
During June, Cisco Company produced 12,000 chainsaw blades. The standard quantity of material allowed per unit was 1.5 pounds of steel per blade at a standard cost of $8 per pound. The actual cost was $7 per pound. The actual pounds of steel that Cisco purchased were 19,500 pounds. All materials purchased were used. Calculate Cisco's materials usage variance.
Answer:
Direct material quantity variance= $12,000 unfavorable
Explanation:
To calculate the direct material quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (1.5*12,000 - 19,500)*8
Direct material quantity variance= (18,000 - 19,500)*8
Direct material quantity variance= $12,000 unfavorable
Expando, Inc., is considering the possibility of building an additional factory that would produce a new addition to its product line. The company is currently considering two options. The first is a small facility that it could build at a cost of $7 million. If demand for new products is low, the company expects to receive $9 million in discounted revenues (present value of future revenues) with the small facility. On the other hand, if demand is high, it expects $14 million in discounted revenues using the small facility. The second option is to build a large factory at a cost of $8 million. Were demand to be low, the company would expect $9 million in discounted revenues with the large plant. If demand is high, the company estimates that the discounted revenues would be $13 million. In either case, the probability of demand being high is .30, and the probability of it being low is .70. Not constructing a new factory would result in no additional revenue being generated because the current factories cannot produce these new products.

Bonita Industries purchased machinery for $1030000 on January 1, 2017. Straight-line depreciation has been recorded based on a $82000 salvage value and a 5-year useful life. The machinery was sold on May 1, 2021 at a gain of $27500. How much cash did Bonita receive from the sale of the machinery?
a. $138,000
b. $162,000
c. $198,000
d. $258,000
Answer:
$235,900
Explanation:
Depreciation p.a. = ($1030000 - $82,000) / 5 years
Depreciation p.a. = $189,600
Depreciation charged till the Jan 1 ,2021 (4 years)
= $189,600 * 4 years
= $758,400
Depreciation charged till May 1, 2021 (4 month)
= $189,600 * 4 months/12 months
= $63,200
Value of the asset = $1030000 - $758,400 - $63,200
Value of the asset = $208,400
Cash received from sale of machinery = $208,400 + $27,500 (gain)
Cash received from sale of machinery = $235,900

Should the firms' overseas operations be judged by the standards (legal, economic, cultural, and moral) of the country in which it is operating or should they be judged by the standards of the U.S. market?
Answer: Standards of the country they operate in
Explanation:
Various countries have differing norms on what is legally, socially, morally and culturally acceptable. In order to be able to operate in those countries, companies would have to adapt to these requirements in order to maximize business operations.
It would therefore be illogical to judge these overseas operations in terms of the U.S. market which would be different from them. They should be judged on their own merit and then a standardizing factor can be used to relate them to the U.S. market to see whether they are performing well given their unique circumstances.

The demand curve for gasoline slopes downward and the supply curve for gasoline slopes upward. The production of the 200th gallon of gasoline entails the following:
• a private cost of $3.03;
• a social cost of $3.23;
• a value to consumers of $3.39.
Refer to Scenario 10-1. Suppose the equilibrium quantity of gasoline is 220 gallons; that is, Q MARKET = 220. Then the equilibrium price of a gallon could be:________
a. $3.08.
b.$2.77.
c. $2.45.
d. $3.69.
Answer:
a. $3.08
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what the equilibrium price of a gallon could be:
Based on the information given the Private cost is $3.03 while the Social cost is $3.23 which indicates that Social cost lies ABOVE the private cost and since The MARKET EQUILIBRIUM tend to occurs when Private value=Private cost which means that the EQUILIBRIUM PRICE lies between $3.03 and $3.23, Therefore the EQUILIBRIUM PRICE of a gallon would be $3.08 because it lies between $3.03 and $3.23.
Assume the following information: Selling price per unit $200 Contribution margin ratio 50% Total fixed costs $275,000 How many units must be sold to generate a profit of $50,000
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price per unit $200
Contribution margin ratio 50%
Total fixed costs $275,000
Desired profit= $50,000
First, we need to calculate the sales required to obtain the desired profit:
Break-even point (dollars)= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= (275,000 + 50,000) / 0.5
Break-even point (dollars)= $650,000
Now, the number of units:
Number of units= 650,000 / 200= 3,250
Or, you can use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (275,000 + 50,000) / (0.5*200)
Break-even point in units= 3,250

Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Prior Year Current Year Changes
Accounts receivable 1,725 1,825 $100
Inventories 1,535 1,785 $250
Accounts payable 1,325 1,475 $150
b) Accounts receivable increased by $100, thereby reducing cash inflows. Inventories increased by $250, thereby reducing cash inflows. Accounts payable increased by $150, thereby increasing cash inflows. The net effect or impact is a reduction of $200 in the cash from operations.
The cost components of a heater include $38 for the compressor, $14 for the sheet molded compound frame, and $70 per unit for assembly. The factory machines and tools cost is $53,000. The company expects to produce 1,400 heaters in the coming year. What cost function best represents these costs
Answer: y = 122x + 53,000
Explanation:
The cost function takes the form, y = mx + c
Y = total cost
m would be the variable cost because it is the increase in x
x = total number of units to be produced
c = fixed cost because this is the y intercept and represents an amount that will not change regardless of the change in x
Variable cost = compressor + compound frame + assembly
= 38 + 14 + 70
= $122
Fixed cost = $53,000
Cost function is:
y = 122x + 53,000
Given the following information, calculate the funds from operation (FFO).
Net income: $1,200,000
Gain/losses from infrequent and unusual events: $0
Amortization of tenant improvements: $120,000
Amortization of leasing expenses: $75,000
Depreciation (real property): $2,675,000.
a. $195,000
b. $1,395,000
c. $2,870,000
d. $4,070,000
Answer:
Funds from Operations = 4070000
Explanation:
Use the below formula to find the fund from operations:
Funds from Operations = Net Income + Depreciation + Amortization - Gains on Sales of Property
Funds from Operations = 1200000 + 2675000 + 75000 + 120000
Funds from Operations = 4070000
MC Qu. 116 CWN Company uses a job order costing... CWN Company uses a job order costing system and last period incurred $70,000 of actual overhead and $100,000 of direct labor. CWN estimates that its overhead next period will be $85,000. It also expects to incur $100,000 of direct labor. If CWN bases applied overhead on direct labor cost, its predetermined overhead rate for the next period should be:
Answer:
85%
Explanation:
With regards to the information above, predetermined overhead will be computed as;
Predetermined overhead = (Estimated overhead / Expected labor cost) × 100
Estimated overhead = $85,000
Expected labor cost = $100,000
Then,
Predetermined overhead = ($85,000 / $100,000) × 100
Predetermined overhead = 85%
Therefore, its predetermined overhead rate for the next period should be 85%
D.Now, if the inflation rate is 18%, the nominal rate of interest on the CD is 24%, and the interest is not taxable, what is the real interest rate on the CD
Answer: 6%
Explanation:
Inflation increases prices in an economy and therefore makes a currency weaker because the currency will only be able to buy less than what it was able to.
Inflation therefore affects returns which is why the real returns are the more relevant measure.
The real interest rate accounts for inflation by using the formula:
= Nominal rate - Inflation rate
= 24% - 18%
= 6%

What is the weighted average cost of capital if a business has a cost of equity of 11%, a yield on debt of 6%, a tax rate of 30%, 100 million market value of debt, and 250 million market value of equity
Answer:
9.028 %
Explanation:
weighted average cost of capital = cost of equity x weight of equity + cost of debt x weight of debt
where,
cost of equity = 11 %
cost of debt (consider after tax) = 6% x (1 - 0.30) = 4.20 %
weight of equity = 250 million ÷ 350 million = 0.71
weight of debt = 100 million ÷ 350 million = 0.29
therefore,
weighted average cost of capital = 11 % x 0.71 + 4.20 % x 0.29
= 9.028 %
Suppose we have the following information concerning the printed magazine and digital magazine subscription markets:
Printed Magazine Subscription Price0=$20 Digital Magazine Subscription Quantity0=216 Printed Magazine Subscription
Price1=$13.40 Digital Magazine Subscription Quantity1=208 Question:
What is the cross-price elasticity of demand between printed and digital magazine subscriptions?
Answer:
Cross-price elasticity of demand between printed and digital magazine subscriptions is 8.91.
Explanation:
Percentage change in price of Printed Magazine Subscription = ((Printed Magazine Subscription Price1 - Printed Magazine Subscription Price0) / Printed Magazine Subscription Price0) * 100 = (($13.40 - $20) / $20) * 100 = -33%
Percentage change in quantity of Digital Magazine Subscription Quantity = ((Digital Magazine Subscription Quantity1 - Digital Magazine Subscription Quantity0) / Digital Magazine Subscription Quantity0) * 100 = ((208 - 216) / 216) * 100 = -3.7037037037037%
Cross-price elasticity of demand between printed and digital magazine subscriptions = Percentage change in price of Printed Magazine Subscription / Percentage change in quantity of Digital Magazine Subscription Quantity = -33% / -3.7037037037037% = 8.91
Note: The relationship between printed and digital magazine subscriptions is that they are substitutes because the cross-price elasticity between them is positive. That is, an increase in the price of printed digital magazine makes consumer to switch to and buy more of digital magazine which is a substitute.
An investment offers $6,700 per year for 15 years, with the first payment occurring one year from now. a. If the required return is 6 percent, what is the value of the investment today
Answer: $65070
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the value of the investment today will be:
= amount × pvaf , 1/(1+ rate )^t
= 6700 × pvaf (1/1+6%) ^15
= 6700 × pvaf (1/1.06)^15
= 6700 × 9.712
= $65070
Therefore, the value of the investment today is $65070
what is gompertz function
Answer:
The Gompertz curve or Gompertz function is a type of mathematical model for a time series, named after Benjamin Gompertz (1779–1865). It is a sigmoid function which describes growth as being slowest at the start and end of a given time period. ... It is a special case of the generalised logistic function.
A firm's marginal product of labor is 4 and its marginal product of capital is 5. If the firm adds one unit of labor but does not want its output quantity to change, the firm should A. add 1.25 units of capital. B. use 1.25 fewer units of capital. C. use 0.8 fewer units of capital. D. use 5 fewer units of capital.
Answer: C. use 0.8 fewer units of capital.
Explanation:
The Marginal Rate of Technical Substitution (MRTS) shows how much you can decrease capital or labor by in order to keep production constant if you increase either capital or labor.
It is calculated by the formula:
= Marginal product of labor / Marginal product of capital
= 4 / 5
= 0.8
The firm should use 0.8 fewer units of capital in order to maintain the same production level.
