​Source: The Wall Street Journal​, July​ 1, 2016
The rise in the minimum wage​ _______.
A. increases aggregate supply because when workers receive a higher wage​ rate, they work harder
B. decreases aggregate supply because​ firms' costs increase
C. creates a movement up along the aggregate supply curve because the price level rises
D. does not change aggregate supply because most people earn more than the minimum wage

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:  B. decreases aggregate supply because​ firms' costs increase

Explanation:

The rise in the the minimum wage rate raise the production cost .

This tends to shift the aggregate supply curve leftwards because the profit margins of firm will decrease and that tends to decrease the production.( at each unite of production.)

Hence, the rise in the minimum wage​ decreases aggregate supply because​ firms' costs increase .

Therefore , the correct option is 'B'.

The estimated inventory loss due to Hurricane Fred would be:

Answers

Answer:

58,500

Explanation:

Given the information above, the formula for Inventory loss is

Inventory loss = Opening inventory + Purchases - Cost of sales

Where,

Cost of sales = $432,000 × 100 ÷ 160

=$270,000

Since opening inventory = $153,000

Purchases = $175,500

Therefore,

Inventory loss = $153,000 + $175,500 - $270,000

= $58,500

A monopolist that practices perfect price discrimination has the same deadweight loss triangle as the single-price monopolist.
a) true
b) false

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is the option B: False.

Explanation:

To begin with, the price discrimination strategy refers to a technique used by the companies in order to charge different prices to the different consumers regarding the fact of how much would they be able to pay for the product. When it comes to monopolies, a perfect price discrimination strategy would try as best as possible to capture the majority of the zone known as the "consumer surplus". And that is why that a company with a perfect price discrimination would face a small deadweight loss area due to the fact that with that strategy of price the monopolist will absorve as much as possible of that area becuase the triangle is half consumer surplus and half producer surplus.

2. At an oral auction for used car, half of all bidders have a value of $1,500 and half have a value of $1,900. What is the expected winning bid if there are three bidders

Answers

Answer:  $1,700

Explanation:

The expected winning bid is the weighted average of the 2 different bids.

Half of the bids are for $1,500 so weight of $1,500 is 0.5.

Half of the bids are for $1,900 so weight of $1,900 is 0.5.

Expected Winning bid = (1,500 * 0.5) + ( 1,900 * 0.5)

= 750 + 950

= $1,700

Answers

Answer:

The real exchange rates that would result from the two nominal exchange rates are:

For the first row in the table RER is 6.

For the second row in the table RER is 9.

Note: See the attached excel file for the table.

Explanation:

Note: The table in the question is merged together. It is therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached excel file for the sorted table.

The answer to the explanation to the answer is now provided as follows:

The real exchange rate (RER) between the the currencies of two counties can be described as the multiplication of the nominal exchange and the ratio of baskets of goods between these two countries.

RER can can therefore be calculated using the following formula:

RER = (e * P*) / P ................................. (1)

Where, from the question;

e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar

P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars)  

P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan)

For the first row in the table:

e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar = 7

P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars)  = $90

P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan) = 105

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

RER = (7 * 90) / 105

RER = 630 / 105

RER = 6

For the second row in the table:

e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar = 10.50

P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars)  = $90

P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan) = 105

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

RER = (10.50 * 90) / 105

RER = 945 / 105

RER = 9

The real exchange rates that should lead from the two nominal exchange rates should be 6 and 9.

Calculation of the real exchange rate:

RER = (e * P*) / P ................................. (1)

Here,

e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar

P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars)  

P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan)

So,

e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar = 7

P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars)  = $90

P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan) = 105

Now

RER = (7 * 90) / 105

RER = 630 / 105

RER = 6

Now

e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar = 10.50

P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars)  = $90

P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan) = 105

So,

RER = (10.50 * 90) / 105

RER = 945 / 105

RER = 9

Answers

Answer:

a-1. Calculate the new book value per share.

current book value = stocks outstanding x book value = 5,000,000 x $10 = $50,000,000

new book value = $50,000,000 + $50,000,000 = $100,000,000

new stocks issued = $50,000,000 / $40 = 1,250,000

total stocks outstanding = 5,000,000 + 1,250,000 = 6,250,000

new book value per stock = $100,000,000 / 6,250,000 = $16

a-2. Calculate the new EPS.

old EPS = $4,000,000 / 5,000,000 = $0.80 per stock

new EPS = $4,850,000 / 6,250,000 = $0.776 per stock

a-3. Calculate the new stock price.

price to earnings ratio = $40 / $0.80 = 50

new stock price:

50 = new stock price / $0.776

new stock price = 50 x $0.776 = $38.80

a-4. Calculate the new market-to-book ratio.

market to book ratio = market capitalization / book value = $242,500,000 / $100,000,000 = 2.425

b. What would the new net income for the company have to be for the stock price to remain unchanged?

0.8 = net income / 6,250,000

net income = 6,250,000 x 0.8 = $5,000,000

Direct materials $44.60
Direct labor $8.50
Variable manufacturing overhead $1.50
Fixed manufacturing overhead $18.10
Variable selling & administrative expense $2.60
Fixed selling & administrative expense $12.00

The normal selling price of the product is $94.10 per unit. An order has been received from an overseas customer for 2,400 units to be delivered this month at a special discounted price. This order would not change the total amount of the company's fixed costs. The variable selling and administrative expense would be $1.60 less per unit on this order than on normal sales.

Purchases were all made f.o.b. shipping point. Northwest paid freight charges of $8,900. Merchandise with an invoice amount of $3,700 was returned for credit. Cost of goods sold for the year was $362,000. Northwest uses a perpetual inventory system. What is ending inventory assuming Northwest uses the gross method to record purchases

Answers

Answer:

The ending inventory by using the gross method is $243,011

Explanation:

Purchases = Net purchases + Freight inwards

Purchases = 491,111 + 8,900

Purchases = 500,011

When Net purchase = Gross Purchase - Purchase return - Discount

Net purchase = 510,000 - 3,700- 15,189

Net purchase = 491,111

Working

Discount = (Purchases - Purchase return) × Discount rate

Discount = (510,000 - 3,700) * 3%

Discount = 15,189

Ending inventory = Beginning inventory + Purchases− Cost of good sold

Ending inventory = (105,000 + 500,011) - 362,000

Ending inventory = $243,011

The CFO is contemplating a recapitalization where it will issue debt at a cost of 10% and use the proceeds to buy back shares of the company's common stock, paying book value. If the company proceeds with the recapitalization, its operating income, total assets, and tax rate will remain unchanged. Which of the following is most likely to occur as a result of the recapitalization? a) The ROA would remain unchanged b) The basic earning power ratio would decline c) The basic earning power ratio would increase d) The ROE would increase e) The ROA would increase

Answers

Answer:

d) The ROE would increase

Explanation:

Since the company's operating income will remain unchanged, net income will decrease due to interest expense, but the total number of shares outstanding will decrease. This will result in a higher EPS (earnings per share), and a higher ROE (return on equity), but it would also make the company's risk increase and Re (cost of equity) increase.

Direct Labor Variances Glacier Bicycle Company manufactures commuter bicycles from recycled materials. The following data for October are available: Quantity of direct labor used 5,000 hrs. Actual rate for direct labor $22.75 per hr. Bicycles completed in October 800 bicycles Standard direct labor per bicycle 6.0 hrs. Standard rate for direct labor $24.00 per hr. a. Determine for October the direct labor rate variance, direct labor time variance, and total direct labor cost variance. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.

Answers

Answer:

a) i. Direct labor rate variance = Quantity of direct labor used * (Actual rate for direct labor - Standard rate for direct labor)

= 5,000*(22.75-24)

= -6,250 (Favorable)

ii. Direct labor time variance =  Standard rate for direct labor * (Quantity of direct labor used - Bicycles completed in October * Standard direct labor per bicycle)

= 24 * (5000 - 800 * 6)

= 4,800 (Unfavorable)

iii. Total Direct labor cost variance =  (Quantity of direct labor used * Actual rate for direct labor) - (Bicycles completed in October * Standard direct labor per bicycle * Standard rate for direct labor)

= (5000 * 22.75) - (800 * 6 * 24)

= -1450 (Favorable)

Answer:

The total cost variance of labor will be "-1,450 (favorable)". The further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

According the question,

Direct labor rate variance will be:

⇒  [tex]5000\times (22.75-24)[/tex]

⇒  [tex]5000\times (-1.25)[/tex]

⇒  [tex]-6,250 \ (favorable)[/tex]

Direct labor time variance will be:

⇒  [tex]24\times (5000-800\times 6)[/tex]

⇒  [tex]24\times 200[/tex]

⇒  [tex]4,800 \ (unfavorable)[/tex]

Now,

The Total Direct labor cost variance will be:

⇒  [tex](5000\times 22.75)-(800\times 6\times 24)[/tex]

⇒  [tex](113,750)-(115,200)[/tex]

⇒  [tex]-1,450 \ (favorable)[/tex]

A newly formed firm must decide on a plant location. There are two alternatives under consideration: locate near the major raw materials or locate near the major customers. Locating near the raw materials will result in lower fixed and variable costs than locating near the market, but the owners believe there would be a loss in sales volume because customers tend to favor local suppliers. Revenue per unit will be $172 in either case.

Omaha Kansas City
Annual fixed costs ($ millions) $1.0 $1.1
Variable cost per unit $30 $45
Expected annual demand (units) 9800 11,625

What is your standard deviation of demand during lead time if your average lead time = 5 days, standard deviation of demand = 4, average demand is 12, and standard deviation of lead time is 1.2 days.

Answers

Answer:

4.47

Explanation:

The computation of the standard deviation of lead time is shown below:

= √lead time × standard deviation of demand

= √ 5 days × 4

= √20

= 4.47

We simply applied the above formula to determine the standard deviation of demand during lead time

What is the payback period for each project?

Answers

Answer:

Project A 2.22 years

Project B 3.05 years

Explanation:

Calculation for the payback period for each project

Project A

First step is to calculate for the amount received in 2 years

Amount received=$18,500+24,800

Amount received =$43,300

Second step is to calculate for the amount not received

Amount not received =$48,000-$43,300

Amount not received =$4,700

Third step is to find out when the remaining amount will be received.

=$4,700/$20,500

=$0.22 years

Last step

Payback period=2+0.22 years

Payback period =2.22 years

The payback period for project A will be 2.22 years

Project B

First step is to calculate for the amount received in 3 years

Amount received=$20,500+$25,500+$33,500

Amount received =$79,500

Second step is to calculate for the amount not received

Amount not received =$93,000-$79,500

Amount not received =$13,500

Third step is to find out when the remaining amount will be received.

=$13,500/$247,000

=$0.05 years

Last step

Payback period=3+0.05 years

Payback period =3.05years

The payback period for project B will be 3.05 years

Debra and Merina sell electronic equipment and supplies through their partnership. They wish to expand their computer lines and decide to admit Wayne to the partnership. Debra's capital is $200,000, Merina's capital is $160,000, and they share income in a ratio of 3:2, respectively.Required:Record Wayne's admission for each of the following independent situations:a. Wayne directly purchases half of Merina's investment in the partnership for $97,000.b. Wayne invests the amount needed to give him a one-third interest in the partnership's capital if no goodwill or bonus is recorded.

Answers

Answer:

a. Merina's captal is $160,000. Half would be $80,000.

Entry;

DR Merina, Capital ..................................................................$80,000

CR Wayne, Capital ....................................................................................$80,000

(To record purchase of half of Merina Capital)

b.

DR Cash......................................................................$180,000

CR Wayne, Capital.........................................................................$180,000

(To record Wayne investment)

Working

The current Capital amount is;

= 200,000 +160,000

= $360,000

If Wayne joins and adds to this such that he owns 1/3 then;

2/3x = 360,000

x = 360,000/2/3

x = $540,000

Wayne's share would be;

= 1/3 * 540,000

= $180,000

The journal entries that would take place will take effect as A- A debit in Merina's capital amount and Cash account as $17000 and a credit effect in Wayne's capital account. The amount of debit and credit will be $97000.

And for B- There will be Debit in Cash account effecting a credit in The Wayne's capital account. The amount effecting the debit and credit side will be $180,000.

The journal entries are added in the images attached to the answer. The entries would take place in the journal entries on the respective date of their occurrence.( Image attached below).

When Wayne is introduced as partner for one third share the calculation of the amount of his capital would be shown as considering the capital as x. The capital by existing partners is $360000. (Image below).

,[tex]\dfrac{2}{3}x\ = 360000[/tex]

[tex]x= \dfrac {360000}{\dfrac{2}{3}}[/tex]

Now the value of x will be calculated as

[tex]x= \dfrac{540000}{3}[/tex]

[tex]x=180000[/tex]

Therefore Wayne's capital will be calculated as $180,000, so he will be required to bring in additional $180,000 capital in the firm for getting one third share in the profits and losses of the company.

Hence, the correct statements for A will be that Wayne pays $97000 which will be divided in Merina's capital and cash accounts in the proportion of $80000 and $17000 respectively.

Answers

Answer:

$4,000$1,000

Explanation:

1. Financing Cashflows relate to cash spent or received for the capital used in the company. These include Equity, Long term borrowings and dividends. Interest payments go to the Operating Cashflow and investments go to the Investing cashflow.

Financing Cashflow is;

= Inflow - Outflow

= +20,000 - 16,000

= +$4,000

2. Investing Cashflows related to cash spent or received from fixed assets as well as the securities of other companies. Cash collections does not fall here but rather under Operating cashflows along with depreciation.

Investing Cashflow is;

= Inflow - Outflow

= +6,000 - 5,000

= $1,000

NewTech purchases computer equipment for $154,000 to use in operating activities for the next four years. It estimates the equipment’s salvage value at $25,000.Required:Prepare a table showing depreciation and book value for each of the four years assuming double-declining-balance depreciation.

Answers

Answer:

Accumulated depreciation = $129,000

Net book value after years = Salvage value = $25,000

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the table showing depreciation and book value for each of the four years assuming double-declining-balance depreciation.

Double-declining-balance is a depreciation method in which an asset is depreciated at twice the rate of the straight line depreciation method.

For this question, the depreciation rate can be obtained as follows:

Straight line depreciation rate = 1 / Number of years of operating activities = 1 / 4 = 0.25, or 25%

This can be done as follows:

Double-declining depreciation rate = Straight line depreciation rate * 2 = 25% * 2 = 50%

The 50% double-declining depreciation rate is therefore used in the attached excel file table.

Note that there the depreciation expenses in Year 4 is zero because the asset has already been fully depreciated in year 3 since there is a salvage value of $25,000 that must be maintained at the end of Year 4.
