If demand increased by 100 units at each price level, and the government set a price ceiling of $40, then there will be
Answer:
no surplus or shortage
Explanation:
Equilibrium price is the price at which quantity demand equal quantity supplied. Above equilibrium price there is a surplus - quantity supplied exceeds quantity demanded.
Below equilibrium price there is a shortage - quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied
If demamd increases by 100, new equilibrium is 40
Thus, ceiling price equal equilibrium
Price ceiling is when the government or an agency of the government sets the maximum price for a product. It is binding when it is set below equilibrium price.
Effects of a binding price ceiling
It leads to shortages
it leads to the development of black markets
it prevents producers from raising price beyond a certain price
It lowers the price consumers pay for a product. This increases consumer surplus

Grays Company uses a perpetual inventory system. On May 1, the company had inventory of 20 units at a cost of $8 each. On May 3, it purchased 30 units at $10 each. 22 units are sold on May 6. Under the weighted average inventory costing method, what amount will be reported as cost of goods sold for the 22 units that were sold
Answer: $9.20
Explanation:
Using the weighted average inventory costing method, the price is abased on the number of units and their price.
The above inventory cost would be calculated as follows:
= [ (Opening units * Cost of units) + (Units purchased * Cost of purchase) ] / Total units in inventory
= [ (20 * 8) + (30 * 10) ] / (20 units + 30 units)
= [ 160 + 300 ] / 50
= $9.20

Explanation:
Shortages are avoided by producers as much as possible in order not to cause disequilibrium in the market. Shortages are not the same as scarcity. They are temporary setbacks when the quantity demanded outstrips the quantity supplied at the equilibrium market price. The backlashes result in lost sales and revenue for suppliers. Shortages may clear ways for competitors to enter the market to meet the unsatisfied demand.

A proposed nuclear power plant will cost $2.2 billion to build and then will produce cash flows of $300 million a year for 15 years. After that period (in year 15), it must be decommissioned at a cost of $900 million. What is project NPV if the discount rate is 5%? What if it is 18%?
Answer:
Project NPV at 5% discount rate = $1346 .78
Project NPV at 18% discount rate = -597.4
Explanation:
Below is the given values:
Initial cost = $2.2 billion
Yearly cash inflow, A = $300 million
Time = 15 years
Salvage value, S = $900
Project NPV at 5% discount rate = A (P/A, 5%, 15) + S (P/F, 5%, 15) - Initial cost
Project NPV at 5% discount rate = 300 (P/A, 5%, 15) + 900 (P/F, 5%, 15) - $2.2 billion
Project NPV at 5% discount rate = 300 (10.3796) + 900 (0.4810) - $2.2 billion or 2200 million
Project NPV at 5% discount rate = $1346 .78
Now,
Project NPV at 18% discount rate = 300 (5.0915) + 900 (0.0835) - $2.2 billion or 2200 million
Project NPV at 18% discount rate = -597.4

As a result of an injury settlement with your insurance you have the choice between (1) receiving $5,000 today OR (2) $6,500 in three years. If you could invest your money at 8% compounded annually, which option should you pick
Answer:
option 2
Explanation:
to determine the better option, calculate the present value of option 2. The more suitable option is the option with the higher present value
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value = future value / ( 1 + r)^n
r = interest rate
n = number of years
6500 / ( 1.08^3) = 5159.91
the present value of option 2 is higher than that of option 1,, so pick option 2
Bellingham Company produces a product that requires 6 standard pounds per unit. The standard price is $3 per pound. If 4,800 units required 29,700 pounds, which were purchased at $2.88 per pound, what is the direct materials (a) price variance, (b) quantity variance, and (c) total direct materials cost variance? Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number. a. Direct materials price variance $fill in the blank 1 b. Direct materials quantity variance $fill in the blank 3 c. Total direct materials cost variance $fill in the blank 5
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (3 - 2.88)*29,700
Direct material price variance= $3,564 favorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (6*4,800 - 29,700)*3
Direct material quantity variance= (28,800 - 29,700)*3
Direct material quantity variance= $2,700 unfavorable
Now, the total direct material variation:
total direct material variation= 3,564 - 2,700
total direct material variation= $864 favorable

The Nelson Company has $1,196,000 in current assets and $460,000 in current liabilities. Its initial inventory level is $325,000, and it will raise funds as additional notes payable and use them to increase inventory. How much can Nelson's short-term debt (notes payable) increase without pushing its current ratio below 2.0
Answer:
The amount by which Nelson's short-term debt (notes payable) increase without pushing its current ratio below 2.0 is $138,000.
Explanation:
From the question, we have:
Initial current assets = $1,196,000
Initial current liabilities = $460,000
Initial inventory level = $325,000
Targeted current ratio = 2.0
Therefore, we have:
Initial current ratio = Initial current assets / Initial current liabilities = $1,196,000 / $460,000 = 2.60
New current liabilities = Initial current assets / Targeted current ratio = $1,196,000 / 2 = $598,000
Expected amount of increase in short-term debt = New current liabilities - Initial current liabilities = $598,000 - $460,000 = $138,000
By implication, we have:
Expected amount of increase in inventory level = Expected amount of increase in short-term debt = $138,000
New inventory level = Initial inventory level + Expected amount of increase in inventory level = $325,000 + $138,000 = $463,000
New current assets = Initial current assets + Expected amount of increase in inventory level = $1,196,000 +$138,000 = $1,334,000
We can now check as follows:
New current ratio = New current assets / New current liabilities = $1,334,000 / $598,000 = 2.23
Therefore, the amount by which Nelson's short-term debt (notes payable) increase without pushing its current ratio below 2.0 is $138,000.
Nelson's short-term debt can increase up to $276,000
The given information includes:
Current Assets = $1,196,000
Current liabilities = $460,000
So, when x amount is borrowed for short term and invested in inventory, then the Revised Current assets = 1,196,000 + x and Revised Current liabilities = 460,000 + x
Lets understand that Revised Current ratio should be 2.0.
We all know that Current ratio = Current Assets / Current liabilities
Now, we input the values
2.0 = $1,196,000 + x / $460,000 + x
$1,196,000 + x = 2.0x($460,000 + x)
$1,196,000 + x = 920,000 + 2x
2x - x = $1,196,000 - $920,000
x = $276,000
In conclusion, the amount of Nelson Short term debt can increase up to $276,000 without pushing its current ratio below 2.0.

The company reported a $816,000 gross margin on its financial statements. Required Determine the variable cost per unit, the total variable product cost, and the total contribution margin.
Variable cost per unit
Total sales 204,000 x $18 = $3,672,000
Gross margin (given) $816,000
COGS=Total Sales -Gross Margin ($3,672,000-816,000)= $2,856,000
Total Fixed Cost 204,000 x $9 = $1,836,000
COGS Total variable cost + total fixed cost 2,856,000-1,836,000=$1,020,000
variable cost per unit (1020,000/204,000)= $5
Contribution margin $2,652,000
Given:
Number of watch produced = 204,000
Selling price of each watch = $18
Fixed cost = $9 per watch
Gross margin = $816,000
Find:
Variable cost per unit
Total variable product cost
Total contribution margin
Computation:
Total sales Value = 204,000 × $18
Total sales Value = $3,672,000
Cost of goods sold = Total Sales - Gross Margin
Cost of goods sold = $3,672,000 - $816,000
Cost of goods sold = $2,856,000
Total Fixed Cost = 204,000 × $9
Total Fixed Cost = $1,836,000
Cost of goods sold = Total variable cost + Total fixed cost
So,
Total variable cost = $2,856,000 - $1,836,000
Total variable cost = $1,020,000
Variable cost per unit = $1020,000 / 204,000
Total variable cost = $5
Contribution margin = $3,672,000 - $1,020,000

Find the percentage change in price in each of the following examples using the mid-point method.
Instructions: Round your answers to two decimal places. If you are entering a negative number be sure to include a negative sign (-) in front of that number.
a. The price of a $4 sandwich increases to $5: percent
b. A sale discounts the price of a sofa from $750 to $500: percent
Answer:
0.22
-0.40
Explanation:
midpoint change in price = change in price / average of both price
a. change in price = (5 - 4) = 1
average of both prices = 0.5 (4 + 5) = 4.50
midpoint change in price = 1/ 4.5 = 0.22
b. change in price = (500 - 750) = -250
average of both prices = 0.5(750 + 500) = 625
-250 / 625 = -0.4
Jay and Carrie Garrett operate a small retail store in a college town that sells only house plants and accessories, which they named The Plantatarium. Their initial feeling when they went into business was that virtually everyone was a potential customer for house plants. Subsequent market research conducted for them painted a different picture. This research identified three particularly strong market segments. The first was college students ages 18-24. The next segment was retired seniors ages 65-80. The third segment was professional offices for doctors, accountants, and lawyers. The college students liked houseplants because they dressed up their living spaces. The senior liked them because they became the focus of a hobby. The professionals did not buy them for any reason other than décor.
The Plantatarium promotes itself in different media using the phrase "An out-of-this-world selection of unique plants." This phrase is a reflection of the firm's :___________
a. positioning strategy.
b. VALS profile.
c. target market.
d. demographics.
Answer:
a. positioning strategy.
Explanation:
A positioning strategy is about how to position your product or service in your potential customers' minds. In other words, how do you want your customers to see your company?
This particular phrase is meant to make customers think that they can find different and unique plants in the Plantatarium.
You have an opportunity to work three hours of overtime and earn an extra $99 gross income. However, a total of $32 will be taken out for federal, state, and local taxes. You parked in the parking garage and will have to pay $6.50 total to park for the additional hours. You also didn't pack an extra meal, which you already have in the refrigerator at home; so you will have to spend $12 for food. You will also have to pay $55 for additional daycare for your children. According to the marginal principle and everything else equal (ceteris paribus); will you work the overtime? Why or why not? (Show your work) (10 %)
Answer:
no
the marginal benefit of working overtime in terms of income is less than the marginal cost of working overtime
Explanation:
According to the marginal cost principle, i would be willing to work if marginal benefit exceeds marginal cost
Marginal cost = 32 + 6.5 + 12 + 55 = 105.50
Marginal benefit = 99
the marginal benefit of working overtime in terms of income is less than the marginal cost of working overtime. So, i won't work overtime
