In what way did Henry Ford’s use of the assembly-line method of production represent an advance in technology in automobile manufacturing?

Answers

Answer: a. It allowed workers to specialize on specific tasks and become more productive.

Explanation:

The Assembly line method of production that Henry Ford initiated at his plant was a technological game changer as it enabled workers to assemble cars faster and this mass produce Ford cars at a cheaper rate for the masses.

The Assembly line worked by putting workers at various stages of the assembly line where they would focus on installing only one or a few parts into the prospective vehicle. This way they were able to focus on that specific task, become more adept at it and thus become more productive.

Total cost___________

Answers

Answer:

Total cost= $123,525

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed costs: supervisor's salary $1,200; factory rent $2,900

Mixed costs: utilities $1,700+ $5.75 per unit

Variable costs per unit manufacturing labor wages $21.00; supplies used in production $9.00; packaging cost $2.75, warranty cost $4

We need to determine the total cost of 2,770 units:

Total variable cost= 5.75*2,770 + 21*2,770 + 9*2,770 + 2.75*2,770 + 4*2,770

Total variable cost= $117,725

Total fixed costs= 1,200 + 2,900 + 1,700= $5,800

Total cost= 117,725 + 5,800= $123,525

Unemployment numbers drop as more jobless Americans find positions in local businesses. Which determinant of aggregate demand causes the change

Answers

Answer: Consumer Spending

Explanation:

As more Americans find jobs, they will be able to earn an income. As they do so they will be able to spend more on goods and services in the economy thereby increasing Consumption spending which is the largest determinant of Aggregate Demand.

As a result of this increase in Consumption, Aggregate demand will change by increasing as well.

What is the yield to maturity of a bond that pays a 6% coupon rate with semiannual coupon payments, has a par value of $1,000, matures in 15 years, and is currently selling for $803

Answers

Answer:

Yield to Maturity = 8.11 %  

Explanation:

The Yield to maturity is the discount rate that equates then price of the bonds to the present of cash inflows expected from the bond

The yield on the bond can be determined as follows using the formula below:

YTM = C + F-P/n) ÷ 1/2 (F+P)

YTM-Yield to maturity-  

C- annual coupon

F- Face Value

P- Current Price

n- years to maturity

YTM-?, C- 6%× 1000 =60, Face Value - 1,000, P-803, n- 15

YTM = (60 + (1000-803)/15) ÷ ( 1/2× (1000 + 803) )

YTM = 0.0811  × 100 = 8.11 %

Yield to Maturity = 8.11 %

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Unit produced 11,000

Variable cost per unit:

Direct materials $150

Direct labor $450

Variable manufacturing overhead $47

Fixed costs:

Fixed manufacturing overhead $790,000

The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.

The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).

Variable costing:

Unitary cost= 150 + 450 + 47= $647

Absorption costing:

Unitary fixed overhead= 790,000/11,000= $71.82

Unitary cost= 647 + 71.82= $718.82

Explain how a high tariff on steel imports can harm steel users.
When a high tariff is placed on steel imports, U.S. steel producers produce______steel and they pay a ________price.
A. less; higher
B. more; lower
C. less; lower
D. more; higher

Answers

Answer:

Steel industry in the United States of America has had its up and down over the years. this is especially going by the fact that it is cheaper to import steel from outside America than to buy those produced in U.S. However, high tariff on steel import would enable the domestic steel producers to meet their obligation as well as recoup their investments in the steel industry in U.S.

For example, most construction based organisation would prefer to buy from domestic steel producer if the price and tariff of imported ones makes it extremely difficult to purchase.

On the other-hand, the high tariff placed on steel import could also harm steel users due to the fact that, the quality of steel which they buy from outside U.S would no longer be available to them.

Also, they would be forced to buy at whatever price from domestic producers whether they had need for the steel or not due to high tariff on imported ones.

When a high tariff is placed on steel imports, U.S. steel producers produce more steel and they pay a higher price.

Explanation:

Last year, you purchased a stock at a price of $78.00 a share. Over the course of the year, you received $2.70 per share in dividends and inflation averaged 3.2 percent. Today, you sold your shares for $82.20 a share. What is your approximate real rate of return on this investment?

Answers

Answer:

5.65%

Explanation:

Last year a stock of $78.00 was bought

During the period of one year $2.70 was received in dividend and inflation averaged 3.2%

Today the shares was sold for $82.20

The first step is to calculate the nominal return

= ($82.20-$78.00+$2.70)/$78.00

= 6.9/78

= 0.0885×100

= 8.85%

Therefore, the approximate real rate can be calculated as follows

= 8.85%-3.2%

= 5.65%

Hence the approximate real rate of return on this investment is 5.65%

The 7 percent bonds issued by Modern Kitchens pay interest semiannually, mature in eight years, and have a $1,000 face value. Currently, the bonds sell for $987. What is the yield to maturity? B) 6.92 percent D) 7.22 percent A) 6.97 percent C) 6.88 percent E) 7.43 percent

Answers

Answer:

The answer is D. 7.22 percent

Explanation:

Interest payments are being made semiannually, this means it is being paid twice in a year

N(Number of periods) = 16 periods ( 8 years x 2)

I/Y(Yield to maturity) = ?

PV(present value or market price) = $987

PMT( coupon payment) = $35 ( [7 percent÷ 2] x $1,000)

FV( Future value or par value) = $1,000.

We are using a Financial calculator for this.

N= 16; PV = -987 ; PMT = 35; FV= $1,000; CPT I/Y= 3.61

3.61 percent is the Yield-to-maturity for semiannual

Therefore, the Yield-to-maturity of the bond annually is 7.22 percent (3.61 percent x 2)

Answers

Answer:

The Present Value of the bond at the market rate = $90,438.36  

Explanation:

The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).  

Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV  

The value of bond can be worked out as follows:  

Step 1  

PV of interest payments  

Semi annul interest payment  

= 10% × 81000 × 1/2 = 4050

Semi-annual yield = 8%/2= 4 % per six months  

Total period to maturity (in months)  

= (2 × 8) = 16 periods (Note the bond term is 8 yeras)  

PV of interest = 4050 × (1-1.04^(-16))/0.04 = 47,191.79

Step 2  

PV of Redemption Value  

Assuming a redemption value equals to the nominal value =

PV of RV = 81,000 × 1.04^-16 =  43,246.56  

Step 3 :Total Present Value

Total prent value =  43,246.56  + 47,191.79721  =  90,438.36

The Present Value of the bond at the market rate = $90,438.36

Identifying the accounting treatment for each claim as either (a) a liability that is recorded or (b) an item described in notes to its financial statements:

1. Huprey (defendant) estimates that a pending lawsuit could result in damages of $1,550,000; it is unlikely that the plaintiff will win the case.a. A liability that is recorded.

b. An item described in notes to its financial statements.

2. Huprey faces a loss on a pending lawsuit that it is unlikely to lose; the amount is reasonably estimable.

a. An item described in notes to its financial statements. b. A liability that is recorded.

3. Huprey faces a probable loss on a pending lawsuit; the amount is reasonably estimable.a. An item described in notes to its financial statements.

b. A liability that is recorded.

Explanation:

Huprey Co. will recognize and record contingent liabilities in its accounts when it can be reasonably established that the future event will occur and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. The implication is that Huprey Co. must establish two things before a contingent liability is recognized and recorded.  One is that the probability or the likelihood or the chance that the event will happen exists and can be estimated.  With the probability estimate, it becomes possible for Huprey Co. to also estimate the amount that the happening of the event will cost it.

Explanation:

DATA

Machine cost = 510,000

Salvage value = $60,000

Useful life = 6 years

Depreciation = $60,000/6years

Depreciation = $10,000

It means that we have overstated depreciation expense for the year with the amount of $10,000.

Retained earnings will be credited by $10,000 As the depreciation expense was overstated mistakenly by $10,000

Nature's Garden, a new restaurant situated on a busy highway in Pomona, California, specializes in a chef's salad selling for $7. Daily fixed costs are $1,710, and variable costs are $4 per meal. With a capacity of 950 meals per day, the restaurant serves an average of 900 meals each day.Requried:a. Determine the current average cost per meal.b. A busload of 30 Girl Scouts stops on its way home from the San Bernardino National Forest. The leader offers to bring them in if the scouts can all be served a meal for a total of $150. The owner refuses, saying he would lose $0.60 per meal if he accepted this offer. How do you think the owner arrived at the $0.60 figure? Comment on the owner's reasoning.c. A local businessman on a break overhears the conversation with the leader and offers the owner a one-year contract to feed 300 of the businessman's employees one meal each day at a special price of $4.50 per meal. Should the restaurant owner accept this offer? Why or why not?

Answers

Answer:

Nature's Garden

a. Determination of the current average cost per meal:

Variable cost per meal = $3,800 ($4 x 950) based on full capacity

Fixed costs per day =        $1,710

Total costs =                     $5,510

Average cost per meal = $5,510/950 = $5.80

b. Girl Scouts' offer of $150 for 30 girls:

Offered price per person = $5 ($150/30)

Projecting a loss of $0.60 per meal, this gives a total loss of $18 ($0.60 x 30)

Projected revenue from the offer = $150 + $18 = $168

Projected revenue per meal = $168/30 = $5.60

Actual revenue to be received per meal = $5.00

Loss of $0.60

The owner arrived at the $0.60 loss because his total costs per meal was $5.60.

c. Since the variable cost per meal is $4, the restaurant owner could accept the offer if the additional 300 meals will not increase his daily fixed costs due to lack of capacity.  If the fixed costs increase with this addition, then it may not be reasonable to accept the offer.  Based on this offer, the contribution to defraying fixed costs, given present capacity, is only $0.50 ($4.50 - $4) per meal.

Explanation:

Selling price of chef's salad = $7

Daily fixed costs = $1,710

Variable costs per meal = $4

Meals capacity per day = 950

Average meals = 900

Nature's Garden has a fixed cost of $1,710 based on current capacity of 950 meals per day.  The fixed cost may increase with increasing capacity.  This fact must be borne in mind when making decisions.

On July 1, 2017, Lopez Company paid $1,400 for six months of insurance coverage. No adjustments have been made to the Prepaid Insurance account, and it is now December 31, 2017. Zim Company has a Supplies account balance of $5,400 on January 1, 2017. During 2017, it purchased $2,200 of supplies. As of December 31, 2017, a supplies inventory shows $900 of supplies available. Prepare the journal entries to reflect expiration of the insurance and correctly report the balance of the Supplies account and the Supplies Expense account as of December 31, 2017.

Craig's Car Wash Inc. is considering a project that has the following cash flow and WACC data. What is the project's discounted payback?
WACC: 10.00%
Year : Cash flows
0 : -$900
1 : $500
2 : $500
3 : $500

Answers

Answer:

Discounted payback period= 2 years 1 month

Explanation:

The discounted payback period is the estimated length of time in years it takes  the present value of net cash inflow from a project to equate the net cash the initial cost  

To work out the discounted payback period, we will compute present value of the cash inflow and then determine how long it will take for the sum to be equal to the initial cost. This is done as follows:

Year          Cash flow    DF             Present value                

0              900    ×          1        =     900                

1               500     ×      1.1^(-1)   =     454.55

2             500     ×      1.1^(-2)    =    413.22

2             500     ×      1.1^(-3)   =      375.66

Total PV for 2 years = 454.55  +  413.22 = 867.77

Balance of cash flow remaining to equal 900 = 900 -867.77  = 32.23

Discounted payback period = 32.23 /375.66 × 12 months

                                               = 2 years 1 month

Discounted payback period= 2 years 1 month

             

How much will be in the Prepaid Insurance account at the end of the year, after the adjusting entries have been prepared and posted

Answers

Answer: $8,400

Explanation:

The $9,600 is for 2 years in advance. This can be apportioned per month at a rate of;

= 9,600/24

= $400 per month.

October to the end of the year is 3 months so;

= 400 * 3

= $1,200 will be recorded for the year.

Prepaid Insurance will therefore reduce to;

= 9,600 - 1,200

= $8,400

Labor productivity growth can be attributed to: a. improvement in technology. b. a decline in university attendance. c. an increase in population growth. d. a decline in the physical capital per worker.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is A. improvement in technology

Explanation:

Labor productivity growth is not relevant to a decline in university attendance.

Applying the Malthusianism theory, an increase in population growth can't lead to labor productivity growth because while that population growth is potentially exponential, the growth of resources is linear.

Finally, the physical capital per worker is the quantity of equipment and input resources that are used to produce output goods and services. It has no direct influence to the labor productivity growth.

The ______ rate of interest is the actual rate charged by the supplier and paid by the demander of fund

Answers

Answer:

nominal

Explanation:

There is a nominal rate that is the interest rate stated on a loan without taking into account the inflation or the compounding of interests and a real rate that is the one that is adjusted to reflect the real cost of the loan to the borrower. According to this, the answer is that the nominal rate of interest is the actual rate charged by the supplier and paid by the demander of fund because this is the rate that is stated when taking a loan.
