Answer:The marginal cost of fourth unit is $589
Explanation:The marginal cost of a good is defined as the cost of producing an additional one unit which increases the total cost of such good. Therefore we can say that;
Marginal cost=Total cost at 4 units - total cost at (4-1) units
=total cost of the 4 units - total cost of the three units
=3,087 -2,498
=$589
Also using the formulae;
Marginal cost = Change in cost / change in quantity
= 3,087 -2,498/4-3 =589/1= $589
The marginal cost of fourth unit is $589
Throughout the entire semester, you were trained to relate expenses to the revenues generated in the same accounting period. Differently put, the Income Statement must show the revenues and relevant expenses that took place in the same period. Which principle is related to this practice

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the CPI stood at 215.9 in December 2009, while one year earlier it was 210.2. Suppose Janice's nominal income rose by 4% from December 2008 to December 2009 while Jeff's increased by only 2%. By what percentage did each of their real incomes change?
Answer:
Annual rate of inflation = [(215.9 - 210.2) / 210.2] * 100
Annual rate of inflation = 2.7%
Real income change = Nominal income change - inflation rate
Janice Real income change = 4% – 2.7%
Janice Real income change = 1.3%
This means Janice's real income did increase by 1.3%.
Jeff Real income change = 2% – 2.7%
Jeff Real income change = -0.7%
This means Jeff's real income did decrease by 0.7%.
Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. The specific risk premium used in the CAPM is the same as the risk premium used in the bond-yield-plus-risk-premium approach. b. Beta measures market risk, which is, theoretically, the most relevant risk measure for a publicly-owned firm that seeks to maximize its intrinsic value. This is true even if not all of the firm's stockholders are well diversified. c. An advantage shared by both the DCF and CAPM methods when they are used to estimate the cost of equity is that they are both "objective" as opposed to "subjective," hence little or no judgment is required. d. The discounted cash flow method of estimating the cost of equity cannot be used unless the growth rate, g, is expected to be constant forever. e. If the calculated beta underestimates the firm's true investment risk—i.e., if the forward-looking beta that investors think exists exceeds the historical beta—then the CAPM method based on the historical beta will produce an estimate of rs and thus WACC that is too high.
Answer:
Correct Answer:
b. Beta measures market risk, which is, theoretically, the most relevant risk measure for a publicly-owned firm that seeks to maximize its intrinsic value. This is true even if not all of the firm's stockholders are well diversified.

There is a significant increase in the price of downloading movies on the Internet.
Answer:
a. price falls, the demand curve moves inward
b. price falls, the demand curve moves inward
c, price rises, the demand curve moves outward
a. A change in people's taste for going to cinema would reduce the number of people going to movie rentals. As a result, the demand for movie rentals would reduce and move inward or leftward. As a result of the inward movement of the demand curve, supply would outstrip demand and prices would fall below $3.50
b. If a National DVD-rental chains opens nationwide, there would be a decrease in demand for DVD movie rentals. As a result, the demand for movie rentals would reduce and move inward or leftward and price falls
A rise in the price of downloading movies on the Internet would increase the cost of downloading movies. This would make people less interested in downloading movies. As a result, the demand for DVD movie rentals would increase. The demand curve would shift outward and price would rise as a result.

Leaf Co. purchased from Oak Co. a $20,000, 8%, 5-year note that required five equal annual year-end payments of $5,009. The note was discounted to yield a 9% rate to Leaf. At the date of purchase, Leaf recorded the note at its present value of $19,485. What should be the total interest revenue earned by Leaf over the life of this note
Answer:
$5,560

Becker Industries is considering an all equity capital structure against one with both debt and equity. The all equity capital structure would consist of 30,000 shares of stock. The debt and equity option would consist of 15,000 shares of stock plus $255,000 of debt with an interest rate of 8 percent. What is the break-even level of earnings before interest and taxes between these two options
Answer:
The break-even level of earnings before interest and taxes is $47,200
Explanation:
EBIT = Earnings before interest and taxes
EPS = Earnings per share
I = interest
n = number of equity shares
n1, n2 = number of equity shares outstanding after adopting financing plans 1 and 2
n1=30,000
n2= 15,000
Break-even EBIT level is the indifferent point where EPS under alternative financing plan is the same.
Mathematically, the break-even EBIT level is: EBIT/ n1 = (EBIT - I ) / n2
EBIT/30,000 =(EBIT -295,000 x 8%/ 15,000)
EBIT/2 = EBIT - 23,600
2*EBIT - 23,600 x 2 = EBIT
2EBIT - EBIT= 47,200
EBIT= $47,200

John takes $100 of currency from his wallet and deposits it into his checking account. If the bank adds the entire $100 to reserves, the money supply _____, but if the bank lends out some of the $100, the money supply _____.
Answer:
John takes $100 of currency from his wallet and deposits it into his checking account. If the bank adds the entire $100 to reserves, the money supply WILL NOT CHANGE, but if the bank lends out some of the $100, the money supply WILL INCREASE.
Explanation:
Any monetary injection to the banking system will increase the money supply only if the banking system (the whole set of banks) lends the money. The total effect is calculated by the increase in money x the money multiplier. The money multiplier = 1 / required reserves.
If the bank does not lend the money, then the money supply will not change.

Mason Company paid its annual property taxes of $240,000 on February 15, 20X9. Mason also anticipates that its annual repairs expense for 20X9 will be $1,200,000. This amount is usually incurred and paid in July and August when operations are shut down so that machinery and equipment can be repaired. What amount should Mason deduct for property taxes and repairs in each quarter for 20X9?
Answer:
$360,000 per quarter
Explanation:
we must allocate both property taxes and annual repairs expenses equally to each quarter:
total payments = property taxes + annual repairs = $240,000 + $1,200,000 = $1,440,000
allocation to each quarter = $1,440,000 / 4 quarters = $360,000 per quarter
Accrual accounting states that expenses must be recorded when they occur and not necessarily when they are associated with a cash outflow. Since both payments involve the whole year, they must be distributed equally in all 4 quarters.
