Answer:
D. Owns what it retrieves in space.
Explanation:
This explains the right of an american that entails that anybody that retrieves minerals or other useful resources own or has control over what it retrieves in space.
Americans however should have the right to engage in commercial exploration, recovery, and use of resources in outer space, consistent with applicable law. Outer space is a legally and physically unique domain of human activity, and the United States does not view it as a global commons. Accordingly, it shall be the policy of the United States to encourage international support for the public and private recovery and use of resources in outer space, consistent with applicable law.
Suppose the market for widgets can be described by the following equations: Demand: P equals 14minus2.00Q Supply: P equals 2.00Qminus4, where P is the price in dollars per unit and Q is the quantity in thousands of units. What is the equilibrium price and quantity? The equilibrium quantity is 4.5 thousand units and the equilibrium price is $ 5. (Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places.) Suppose the government imposes a tax of $1 per unit to reduce widget consumption and raise government revenues. What will be the new equilibrium quantity? What price will the buyer pay? What amount per unit will the seller receive? The new equilibrium quantity will be 4.25 thousand units. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.) The price paid by buyers will be $ 5.5. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.) The amount kept by sellers will be $ 4.5. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
Answer:
Explanation:
Demand P = 14 - 2Q
Supply P = 2Q - 4
Since Demand = Supply
14 - 2Q = 2Q - 4
Collect the like terms on either side
-2Q - 2Q = -4 - 14
-4Q = -18
Dividing both sides by -4, we will have
Q = -18/-4
Q = 4.50 units
P = 14 - 2Q
P = 14 - 2(4.5)
P = 14 - 9
P = $5.00
Therefore Equilibrium price is $5.00 and Equilibrium unit is 4.50
If the government impose a tax of $1 per unit. If price paid but buyer is P, then price received by seller will be (P - 1)
for demand
P = 14 - 2Q
2Q = 14 - P
Q = 7 - 0.5P
For supply
P = 2Q - 4
Q = 2 + 0.5P
Q = 2+ 0.5(P - 1)
Q = 2 + 0.5P - 0.5
Q = 2-0.5 + 0.5P
Q = 1.5 + 0.5P
if Demand = Supply
7 - 0.5P = 1.5 + 0.5P
Collect the like terms on either sides
-0.5P - 0.5P = 1.5 - 7
-1P = -5.5
Dividing both sides by -1, we will have
P = -5.5/-1
P = $5.50
Q = 1.5 + 0.5P
If we substitute 5.5 for P in the above eqn, we will have
Q = 1.5 + 0.5(5.5)
Q = 1.5 + 2.75
Q = 4.25 units

Granite Enterprises acquired a patent from Southern Research Corporation on January 1, 2021, for $3.4 million. The patent will be used for five years, even though its legal life is 20 years. Rocky Corporation has made a commitment to purchase the patent from Granite for $110,000 at the end of five years. Compute Granite's patent amortization for 2021, assuming the straight-line method is used
Answer:
$658,000
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:
Granite Enterprises Patent acquired = $3.4 million
Used years = 5 years
Rocky corporation purchase after 5 years = $110,000
So, we can calculate the Granite's patent amortisation by using following formula:
Granite's patent amortisation = ($3,400,000 - $110,000) ÷ 5
= $3,290,000 ÷ 5
= $658,000

Vaughn Manufacturing expects to purchase $180000 of materials in July and $170000 of materials in August. Three-fourths of all purchases are paid for in the month of purchase, and the other one-fourth are paid for in the month following the month of purchase. How much will August's cash disbursements for materials purchases be?
Answer:
The August's cash disbursements for materials purchases would be
$172,500.00 for Vaughn Manufacturing
Explanation:
The cash disbursements in the month of August consist of the three-fourth cost of the August purchases and the one-fourth of the July purchases since the 3/4 of the cost of materials purchased is paid in the same month as purchases and the balance of 1/4 of purchase cost in the succeeding month
Cash disbursements in August=($170,000*3/4)+($180,000*1/4)=$127500 +$45,000=$172,500.00

Stellar Plastics is analyzing a proposed project with annual depreciation of $19,500 and a tax rate of 34 percent. The company expects to sell 12,000 units, plus or minus 5 percent. The expected variable cost per unit is $3.20 plus or minus 4 percent, and the expected fixed costs are $30,000 plus of minus 2 percent. The sales price is estimated at $7.50 a unit, plus or minus 4 percent. What is the operating cash flow for a sensitivity analysis using total fixed costs of $31,000
Answer:
$20,226
Explanation:
expected sales = 11,400 - 12,000 - 12,600
expected sales price = $7.20 - $7.50 - $7.80
expected variable cost = $3.072 - $3.20 - $3.328
total fixed costs = $31,000
if you use an excel spreadsheet you can calculate all the different possible simulations and combine all the expected sales x 3 different price levels x 3 different variable costs and 1 fixed cost. Once you get all the 27 possible solutions, you just get the average.

Equivalent units:
Whole units material conversion
Beginning units 2,400 0 1,800(75%)
Units started and complete 10,900 10,900 10,900
(13,300-2,400)
Total transferred 13,300 10,900 $ 12,700
Ending units 20,00 2,000 400(20%)
Equivalent units 15,300 12,900 13,100
Equivalent cost per unit:
Material conversion
Cost incurred this period $116,100 $100,000
÷ equivalent units ×12,900 ÷13,100
Cost per equivalent unit $9 $7.6336
Therefore, the total cost of the units started and completed during the period =10,900 units×($9+7.6336)
=$181,306

At the beginning of 2020, Vaughn Company acquired a mine for $1,965,400. Of this amount, $115,000 was ascribed to the land value and the remaining portion to the minerals in the mine. Surveys conducted by geologists have indicated that approximately 11,010,000 units of ore appear to be in the mine. Vaughn incurred $195,500 of development costs associated with this mine prior to any extraction of minerals. It also determined that the fair value of its obligation to prepare the land for an alternative use when all of the mineral has been removed was $46,000. During 2020, 2,433,000 units of ore were extracted and 2,081,000 of these units were sold.
Compute the total amount of depletion for 2020.
Answer:
$462,270.00
Explanation:
The first task is to determine the depletion rate per unit of ore extracted from the mine.
depletion rate=total cost the mine/total units of ore extract
total cost of mine=acquisition cost-land value+development costs+removal cost
total cost of mine=$1,965,400-$115,000+$195,500+$46,000=$2,091,900.00
total units of ore extract is 11,010,000 units
depletion rate= 2,091,900.00/11,010,000=$0.19 per unit of ore
depletion amount in 2020=depletion rate*ore extracted in 2020=2,433,000*$0.19 =$462,270.00
Answer:
$408,903
Explanation:
Depletion is an estimated cost of a natural resource that is extracted. This resource is expensed as the extraction is made.
As per given data
Total Payment = $1,965,400
Land Value = $115,000
Value of Rights = $1,965,400 - $115,000 = $1,850,400
Estimated resources = 11,010,000 units
Resources extracted in the period = 2,433,000 units
Depletion expense is based on ratio of the amount of extraction in period to the total expected resource.
Depletion Expense = $1,850,400 x 2,433,000 / 11,010,000 units = $408,903
Bentley Enterprises uses process costing to control costs in the manufacture of Dust Sensors for the mining industry. The following information pertains to operations for November. (CMA Exam adapted) Units Work in process, November 1st 16,000 Started in production during November 100,000 Work in process, November 30th 24,000 The beginning inventory was 60% complete as to materials and 20% complete as to conversion costs. The ending inventory was 90% complete as to materials and 40% complete as to conversion costs. Costs pertaining to November are as follows: Beginning inventory: direct materials, $54,560; direct labor, $20,320; manufacturing overhead, $15,240. Costs incurred during the month: direct materials, $468,000; direct labor, $182,880; manufacturing overhead, $391,160. What is the equivalent unit cost for materials assuming Bentley uses first-in, first-out (FIFO) process costing?
Answer:
Material Cost per equivalent unit =$4.87
Explanation:
First in First out (FIFO)methods separates completed units into fully worked and opening inventory
Fully worked units: These represent units of inventory that were started in a current period and completed that same period. The fully worked units are calculated in order to separate the opening inventory from the the newly introduced when accounting for completed units under the FIFO.
For Bentley , fully worked units is
Fully worked = Newly introduced - closing work in progress
= 100,000- 24,000 = 76,000 .
Opening inventory = 16,000
Item Units Equivalent Units
Opening inventory 16,000 × 40%= 9,600
Completed unit 76,000 × 100% = 480,000
Closing inventory 24,000 × 90% = 21,600
Total equivalent units 107,200
Cost per equivalent unit = Total cost/ equivalent inits
= 54560 +468,000/ 107,200 = $4.87
Material Cost per equivalent unit =$4.87
The equivalent unit cost for materials assuming Bentley uses first-in and first-out (FIFO) process costing:
For Bentley , fully worked units is
Fully worked = Newly introduced - closing work in progressFully worked= 100,000- 24,000 = 76,000 .Opening inventory = 16,000
Item Units Equivalent Units
Opening inventory 16,000 × 40%= 9,600
Completed unit 76,000 × 100% = 480,000
Closing inventory 24,000 × 90% = 21,600
Total equivalent units 107,200
Cost per equivalent unit = Total cost/ equivalent inits
Cost per equivalent unit= 54560 +468,000/ 107,200 = $4.87
The Material Cost per equivalent unit =$4.87.

D. aggregate demand curve will shift right. The new equilibrium will be A. where the original aggregate demand curve intersects the original short-run aggregate supply curve. B. where the new aggregate demand curve intersects the original short-run aggregate supply curve. C. where the new aggregate demand curve intersects the original aggregate demand curve.
Answer:
As a result of higher interest rates, the
B. aggregate demand curve will shift left.The new equilibrium will be
B. where the new aggregate demand curve intersects the original short-run aggregate supply curve.Explanation:
A contractionary monetary policy will increase the interest rates, lowering investment and consumption. This will result in a leftward shift of the aggregate demand curve.
The new equilibrium (E1) will be at the point where the new aggregate demand curve (AD1) intersects the original short run aggregate supply curve (SRAS) and the long run aggregate supply curve (LRAS).
Consider two independent firms, BU1 and BU2, which transact with each other through spot market transactions in a competitive market. In a typical year, BU1 incurs total costs of $2 million in producing goods that BU2 buys. BU2 would be willing to pay up to $7.5 million for these goods, but because of the competitive market, ends up paying $5 million. What is the value captured by BU1 from these transactions?
Answer:
Value captured by BU1 = $5.5 million
Explanation:
Given:
Two firm = BU1 , BU2
BU1 cost of production = $2 million
BU2 will able to pay up-to = $7.5 million
BU2 will pay = $5 million:
Find:
Value captured by BU1 = ?
Computation:
⇒ Value captured by BU1 = BU2 will able to pay up-to - BU1 cost of production
⇒ Value captured by BU1 = $7.5 million - $2 million
⇒ Value captured by BU1 = $5.5 million
Based on the information given the value captured by BU1 from these transactions is $3 million.
The value captured by the seller (BU1)
Seller value =Value BU1 is willing to sell -Value at which he sold
Where:
Value BU1 is willing to sell=$5 million
Value at which he sold=$2 million
Let plug in the formula

On January 1, 2011, G Corp. granted stock options to key employees for the purchase of 80,000 shares of the company's common stock at $25 per share. The options are intended to compensate employees for the next two years. The options are exercisable within a four-year period beginning January 1, 2013, by the grantees still in the employ of the company. No options were terminated during 2011, but the company does have an experience of 20% forfeitures over the life of the stock options. The market price of the common stock was $31 per share at the date of the grant. G Corp. used the Binomial pricing model and estimated the fair value of each of the options at $10. What amount should G charge to compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2011
Answer:
The amount should G charge to compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 is $320,000
Explanation:
In order to calculate the amount should G charge to compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 we would have to calculate the following formula:
amount should G charge to compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2011=Total compensation/2
Note: company does have an experience of 20% forfeitures over the life of the stock options, therefore, 100%-20%=80%
Total compensation= 80,000 options × $10 × 80%
Total compensation= $640,000
amount should G charge to compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2011=$640,000/2
amount should G charge to compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2011=$320,000
Brooke and John formed a partnership. Brooke received a 40% interest in partnership capital and profits in exchange for contributing land (basis of $30,000 and fair market value of $120,000). John received a 60% interest in partnership capital and profits in exchange for contributing $180,000 of cash. Three years after the contribution date, the land contributed by Brooke is sold by the partnership to a third party for $150,000. What gain must Brooke recognize on the land contribution when establishing the partnership
Answer:
$102,000
Explanation:
According to 26 US code Section 704(c) - Partner's distributive share :
Taxable gain to be recognized from sale = Sale value - ( Partner's share * Fair market value )
Brooke contributed the land, the gain realized before the land was contributed = $120,000 - $90,000 will be allocated entirely to her. She will also be allocated 40% of the gain after the contribution was made = ($150,000 - $120,000) x 40% = $30,000 x 40% = $12,000.
So the total gain recognized by Brooke will be $90,000 + $12,000 = $102,000.
Partnerships are pass through entities, the partners are taxed, not the partnership itself.

If the government set a price ceiling of $40, there would be: Group of answer choices a shortage (or excess supply) of about 8 units a shortage (or excess supply) of about 12 units a surplus (or excess demand) of about 8 units a surplus (or excess demand) of about 12 units
Answer:
A surplus (or excess demand) of about 8 units
Explanation:
The picture attached shows the diagram necessary for the question which is part of the question. Solution is given below;
At the above ceiling at price of 40$
Quantity supplied will be 16
Quantity demanded will be 24
So when demand is more than supply than there will be a shortage in quantity by (24-16) 8 units.
When there is demand more than supply than it is an excess demand.
So surplus or excess demand by 8 units.
JB Instruments is analyzing a proposed project. The company expects to sell 1,600 units, ±3 percent. The expected variable cost per unit is $220 and the expected fixed costs are $438,000. Cost estimates are considered accurate within a ±2 percent range. The depreciation expense is $64,000. The sales price is estimated at $647 per unit, ±2 percent. What is the sales revenue under the worst-case scenario?
Answer:
$984,061.12
Explanation:
The computation of sales revenue under the worst-case scenario is shown below:-
Sales revenue under the worst-case scenario = Quantity sold × Price
= (1,600 - 1,600 × 3%) × ($647 - $647 × 2%)
= (1,600 - 48) × ($647 - 12.94)
= 1,552 × 634.06
= $984,061.12
Therefore for computing the sales revenue under the worst-case scenario we simply applied the above formula.
The 2016 financial statement of Willamette Valley Vineyards reported Cost of goods sold of $7,204,884. Note 3 to the financial statements reported that Inventories consisted of: 2016 2015 Winemaking and packaging materials $ 817,836 $ 690,292 Work-in-process 6,634,014 6,058,701 Finished goods 4,518,806 3,883,469 Total inventories $11,970,656 $10,632,462 The inventory turnover for 2016 was:__________
a, 0.57
b. 0.64
c. 0.59
d. 1.71
Answer:
b. 0.64
Explanation:
The computation of the inventory turnover for the year 2016 is shown below:
Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold ÷ Average inventories
where,
Average inventories is
= ($11,970,656 + $10,632,462) ÷ 2
= $11,301,559
And the cost of goods sold is $7,204,884
So, the Inventory turnover is
= $7,204,884 ÷ $11,301,559
= 0.64 times
We simply applied the above formula

Clyde operates a sole proprietorship using the cash method. This year Clyde made the following expenditures: $480 to U.S. Bank for 12 months of interest accruing on a business loan from September 1 of this year through August 31 of next year even though only $160 of interest accrued this year. $600 for 12 months of property insurance beginning on July 1 of this year. What is the maximum amount Clyde can deduct this year?
Answer:
$760
Explanation:
Clyde
Interest is been deducted proportionately and the interest of 4 months of this year will be deductible – ($480/12) × 4 months
= $160
12-month rule also applies to insurance and t the full amount of insurance is as well deductible.
Hence:
Maximum deduction
= $160 interest + $600 insurance
= $760
Therefore the maximum amount Clyde can deduct this year is $760
Dexter Industries purchased packaging equipment on January 8 for $116,600. The equipment was expected to have a useful life of three years, or 20,000 operating hours, and a residual value of $6,600. The equipment was used for 8,700 hours during Year 1, 7,380 hours in Year 2, and 3,920 hours in Year 3. Required: 1. Determine the amount of depreciation expense for the three years ended December 31 by (a) the straight-line method, (b) the units-of-activity method, and (c) the double-declining-balance method. Also determine the total depreciation expense for the three years by each method. (Note: For STRAIGHT-LINE ONLY, round the first two years to the nearest whole dollar, then round the third year as necessary. For DECLINING BALANCE ONLY, round the multiplier to five decimal places. Then round the answer for each year to the nearest whole dollar.) 2. What method yields the highest depreciation expense for Year 1
Answer:
Straight-line method: $36,667 yearly depreciation expense for 3 years. Unit-of-production method: Year 1 - $47,850, Year 2 - $40,590, Year 3 - $21,560Double-declining method: Year 1 - $77,737, Year 2 - $25,910, Year 3 - $6,353Total for 3 years is $110,000 for all the depreciation methods.
Explanation:
(A) Under straight-line method, depreciation expense is (cost - residual value) / Estimated useful life = ($116,600 - $6,600) / 3 years = $36,667 yearly depreciation expense.
Accumulated depreciation for 3 years is $36,667 x 3 years is $110,000.
(B) The unit-of-production method is used when the asset value closely relates to the units of output it is able to produce. It is expressed with the formula below:
(Original Cost - Salvage value) / Estimated production capacity x Units/year
At Year 1, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($116,600 - $6,600) / 20,000 operating hours x 8,700 hours = $47,850
At Year 2, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($116,600 - $6,600) / 20,000 operating hours x 7,380 hours = $40,590
At Year 3, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($116,600 - $6,600) / 20,000 operating hours x 3,920 hours = $21,560
Accumulated depreciation for 3 years is $47,850 +$40,590 + $21,560 = $110,000.
Note that this depreciation method results in higher depreciation charge when the asset is heavily used, at this time, it was in Year 1.
(C) The double-declining method is otherwise known as the reducing balance method and is given by the formula below:
Double declining method = 2 X SLDP X BV
SLDP = straight-line depreciation percentage
BV = Book value
SLDP is 100%/3 years = 33.33%, then 33.33% multiplied by 2 to give 66.67% or 2/3
At Year 1, 66.67% X $116,600 = $77,737
At Year 2, 66.67% X $38,863 ($116,600 - $77,737) = $25,910
At Year 3, 66.67% X $12,953 ($38,863 - $25,910) = $8,636. This depreciation will decrease the book value of the asset below its salvage value $12,953 - $8,636 = $4,317 < $6,600. Depreciation will only be allowed up to the point where the book value = salvage value. Consequently the depreciation for Year 3 will be $6,353.
Accumulated depreciation for 3 years is $77,737 + $25,910 + $6,353 = $110,000.
8-27 Basic Flexible Budget The budgeted prices for materials and direct labor per unit of fi nished product are $8 and $7, respectively. The production manager is delighted about the following data: Static Budget Actual Costs Variance Direct materials $59,200 $49,900 $9,300 F Direct labor 51,800 39,200 12,600 F Is the manager’s happiness justifi ed? Prepare a report that might provide a more detailed explanation of why the static budget was not achieved. Good output was 5,300 units.

Flexible Actual Variance
Costs: 5,300 units 5,300 units 0
Direct Materials $42,400 $49,900 $7,500 U
Direct Labor $ 37,100 $39,200 $2,100 U
Total Variable costs $79,500 $89,100 $9,600 U
Explanation:
Using the good output and a flexible budget, the static budget was not achieved favorably as depicted.
A flexible budget varies the budgeted units to agree with the volume of activity. This produces a different result from the static budget, which does not vary the budgeted units according to the volume of activity.
A flexible budget is preferable as it reflects the correct performance given the activity level or volume of production or sales.
Explain how strong enforcement of carefully designed patent laws affects the growth rate of an economy. (5 points) Explain how tax incentives can be used to promote faster economic growth. (5 points) Explain the "infant industry argument" and its relationship to a country’s growth rate. (5 points) Explain what incentives can be used to increase the savings rate in an economy (as another way to promote faster economic growth). (5 points)
Answer:
1.In simple words, strong enforced patent laws will work as a motivation to innovation and innovation always results in better outcomes for thee economy as the output in the economy could be increased dramatically through technology advances.
2. By simply decreasing the tax rates on income from middle class households, Government can increase the demand of goods due to higher income in hand which further results in growth of economy.
3. Such argument states the new industries must be protected from foreign competitors until they are stable on their own. This is completely true as new industrious lead to better employment opportunities which further leads to economic growth.
4. For first tax rates can be decreased for more income in hand and also interest rates on savings could be increased.
