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%
Kyoko is training for a triathlon, a timed race that combines swimming, biking, and running. Consider the following sentence: In order to swim for an hour, Kyoko must take time away from work, where she earns $11 per hour. This is in addition to paying a $4 entrance fee for the pool. Which basic principle of individual choice do these statements best illustrate?
1) The cost of something is what you give up to get it
2) Markets are usually a good way to organize economic activity
3) People usually exploit opportunities to make themselves better off.

Marquis is interested in the relationship between drinking coffee and esophageal cancer. He decides to look at surveys for the Lehman College Class of 2019 as a source of data. He tabulates the total cases of esophageal cancer that were reported as well as those members of the class who did not report esophageal cancer. He then calls all of those people and asks them if they can remember drinking coffee in 2010 and, if yes, about how much coffee did they drink daily, among other questions related to potential exposures, i.e. exercise, BMI, stress, etc. Which form of bias is likely to impact the measure of association reported in Marquis’s study?
a. sampling bias
b. recall bias
c. interviewer bias
Answer:
Option B
Explanation:
In simple words, Recall bias can be understood as the systematic mistake that happens when individuals do not properly recall or omit information from past events or situations. The reliability and quantity of recollections can be impacted by future activities and situations.
In the given case, the interview asking the sample something that is not easy to remember. Drinking coffee and how much did they drink is not a valid question as this is too fragile to remember.

As in the case of Ian, who was perceived by many members as a person with a lively sense of humor, as someone who would do a good job.
Assume each firm within an industry has similar operations and financial structures as the industry as a whole. Which one of these statements related to beta is correct given this assumption?
a. Industry betas are less reliable than firm betas.
b. Firms should use their own betas rather than the industry beta.
c. Betas should be computed on an annual basis.
d. The error in beta estimation for a single security exceeds the error for a portfolio of securities.
e. All firms in the industry will have the same beta.
Answer: D. The error in beta estimation for a single security exceeds the error for a portfolio of securities.
Explanation:
If each firm within an industry has identical operations and thesame financial structures as the industry as a whole, then the error in beta estimation for a single security exceeds the error for a portfolio of securities.
It should be noted that all the firms in the industry will not have the same beta. Also, betas should not be computed on an annual basis. Therefore, the correct option is D.
An investor enters into a short oil futures contract when the futures price is $15.5 per barrel. The contract size of 100 barrels of oil. How much does the investor gain or lose if the oil price at the end of the contract equals $14.0
Answer:
$150
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How much does the investor gain or lose if the oil price at the end of the contract equals $14.0
Using this formula
Gain or Loss =(Futures price- Ending contract)*Contract size
Let plug in the formula
Gain or Loss=$15.5 per barrel- $14.0* 100 barrels
Gain or Loss=$1.5*100
Gain or Loss=$150
Therefore How much does the investor gain or lose if the oil price at the end of the contract equals $14.0 will be $150
For each of the following characteristics, indicate whether it describes a perfectly competitive firm, a monopolistically competitive firm, both, or neither. (Note: If the characteristic describes neither, leave the entire row unchecked.)
Characteristic Perfectly Competitive Monopolistically Competitive
Sells a product differentiated from those of its competitors
Has marginal revenue less than price
Earns economic profit in the long run
Produces at the minimum average total cost in the long run
Equates marginal revenue and marginal cost
Charges a price above marginal cost
Answer:
Monopolistically Competitive
Monopolistically Competitive
Neither
Perfectly Competitive
both
Monopolistically Competitive
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopolistic competition has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants
When firms are earning positive economic profit, in the long run, firms enter into the industry. This drives economic profit to zero
If firms are earning negative economic profit, in the long run, firms leave the industry. This drives economic profit to zero
in the long run, only normal profit is earned
In a monopolistic competitive market, firms always set the price higher than their marginal costs. As a result, the market cannot be productively efficient.
A company's gross profit (or gross margin) was $110,180 and its net sales were $439,300. Its gross margin ratio is: A. 74.9%. B. 8.4%. C. $110,180.00 D. 25.1%. E. $329,120.00
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Gross profit margin is an example of a profitability ratio.
profitability ratios measures the efficiency with which a company generates profit from its asset
Gross profit margin measures the return on sales
Gross profit margin = gross profit / net sales
$110,180 / $439,300 = 25.1%
Inflation affects the real value of future dollars and can therefore make signing long-term wage and loan agreements seem risky. This illustrates the issue of
Answer:
future price uncertainty
Explanation:
Inflation is a persistent rise in the general price levels
Types of inflation
demand pull inflation – this occurs when demand exceeds supply. When demand exceeds supply, prices rise
cost push inflation – this occurs when the cost of production increases. This leads to a reduction in supply. Higher prices are the resultant effect
Shoe leather cost is when people try to spend money immediately so they would not be holding money for a long time. This is because money loses its value in an inflation.
Menu costs are the costs of changing price constantly as a result of inflation, When there is inflation, prices increases regularly. As a result prices needs to be updated regularly.

a. By how much would government spending have to rise to shift the aggregate demand curve rightward by $25 billion
Answer: $2.5 billion
Explanation:
You need to first calculate the multiplier.
The multiplier is the amount that shows the effect of an increase in government spending on the aggregate demand of a country.
It is calculated as:
= 1 / ( 1 - MPC)
= 1 / ( 1 - 0.9)
= 10
Increase in aggregate demand = Government spending * multiplier
25 billion = G * 10
G = 25 billion / 10
= $2.5 billion
Sebastian received a raise this year so his income climbed from $45,000 to $52,000. Last year Sebastian purchased 2 sunglasses. This year he has purchased 7 sunglasses. Assuming that all of the other things remain constant, what type of a good are sunglasses and what type of income elasticity of demand does Sebastian have
Answer:
normal good
elastic demand
Explanation:
Income elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in income.
Income elasticity = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in income
percentage change in quantity demanded = (7/2) - 1 = 250%
percentage change in income = (52,000 / 45,000) - 1 = 15.6%
250 / 15.6 = 16.07
If the absolute value of income elasticity of demand is greater than one, it means demand is elastic.
Normal goods are goods that are goods whose demand increases when income increases and falls when income falls
Inferior goods are goods whose demand falls when income rises and increases when income falls.
Suppose that a Country Club is considering what price to charge for adults. They know that if they charge a price of $100 then 70 adults will join and if they charge a price of $120 then 50 adults will join. What is the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand for adults at this Country Club
Answer:
1.43
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
Price =120 /100 - 1 = 0.2
Quantity = 50/ 70 - 1 = 0.2857
0.2857 / 0.2 = 1.43
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.
Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases
Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price
p = 0,2
=0.2857
Identify the two events from the following that cause a Petty Cash account to be credited in a journal entry. (Single click the box with the question mark to produce a check mark for a correct answer and double click the box with the question mark to empty the box for a wrong answer.) check all that apply Fund amount is being reduced.unanswered Fund amount is being increased.unanswered Fund is being eliminated.unanswered Fund is being established.
Answer:
Fund amount is being reduced.
Fund is being eliminated.
Explanation:
For example, when you are recording the expenses paid using the petty cash fund, you debit the expenses and credit the petty cash fund account. This also applies when the petty cash fund is too large and the company wants to reduce it; cash will be debited and the petty cash fund account will be credited.
Agreement and disagreement among economists
Suppose that Yakov, an economist from a business school in Georgia, and Ana, an economist from a public television program, are arguing over budget deficits. The following dialogue shows an excerpt from their debate:
Ana: Most people recognize that the budget deficit has been rising considerably over the last century. We need to find the best course of action to remedy this situation.
Yakov: I believe that a cut in income tax rates would boost economic growth and raise tax revenue enough to reduce budget deficits.
Ana: I actually feel that raising the top income tax rate would reduce the budget deficit more effectively.
The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to ___.
Despite their differences, with which proposition are two economists chosen at random most likely to agree?
A. Rent cellings reduce the quantity and quality of available housing.
B. Immigrants receive more in government benefits than they contribute in taxes.
C. Having a single income tax rate would improve economic performance.
Answer:
differing opinions on the point we are on the Laffer Curve
A
Explanation:
The Laffer Curve is a supply side economic theory developed by Arthur Laffer in 1974.
The curve depicts the relationship between tax rates and tax revenue
According to this theory, higher income tax rate reduces the incentive of labour to work and invest due to the fact that labour would have to pay higher tax. This means that at some point, increase in the tax rate would decrease government revenue rather than increase it.
The theory submits that there is an optimal tax rate at which tax income is maximised. Once this point is surpassed, increase in tax rate would reduce government revenue
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
1. It leads to shortages
2. it leads to the development of black markets
3. it prevents producers from raising price beyond a certain price
4. It lowers the price consumers pay for a product. This increases consumer surplus
A rent ceiling would lead to shortage of houses and a reduction of the quality of available housing.
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
Under variable costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is: Multiple Choice applied directly to Work-in-Process Inventory. expensed immediately when incurred. never expensed. treated in the same manner as variable manufacturing overhead.
Answer: expensed immediately when incurred.
Explanation:
Under variable costing, only variable costs can be apportioned to the product as product costs. This means that fixed costs have to be expensed immediately they are incurred so that they do not feature in the product costs.
It is not a widely used principle as both U.S. GAAP and IFRS don't allow for its use in financial statements. They prefer absorption costing where fixed costs are apportioned to the products created.
In the 1990s there was tremendous interest by government officials in breaking up Microsoft into two companies. One of the companies would have produced operating systems for computers, like Microsoft Windows. The other company would have produced software for this operating system, like Microsoft Excel. Which concept from class could Microsoft use to argue that this breakup would increase total costs
Answer: Economies of scope
Explanation:
Economies of scope refers to the
proportionate saving that's gained when a company produces two or more goods, such that the cost of producing the goods is less than the cost incurred when each good is separately produced.
In such case, the average total cost of production will reduce as a result of the rise in the number of different goods that are produced.
Therefore, the concept that Microsoft use to argue that this breakup would increase total costs is Economies of scope

Jack asked Jill to marry him, and she has accepted under one condition: Jack must buy her a new $ Rolls-Royce Phantom. Jack currently has $ that he may invest. He has found a mutual fund with an expected annual return of % in which he will place the money. How long will it take Jack to win Jill's hand in marriage?
Answer: 47.8 years
Explanation:
Jack is trying to make up to $330,000 from $50,680 at a rate of 4%.
The relevant formula is the future value formula as Jack is trying to get to a certain amount in future:
330,000 = 50,680 * ( 1 + 4%) ^ number of years
1.04 ^ number of years = 330,000 / 50,680
1.04 ^ N = 6.51144435674822
Use the natural logarithm:
N * In (1.04) = In (6.51144435674822)
N * 0.039220713153281 = 1.873561299007586979
N = 1.873561299007586979 / 0.039220713153281
= 47.8 years
