Your bagel shop uses both capital and labor in the production of bagels. In this production process capital and labor are substitutes. If you install a new oven and the marginal product of capital increases, you will:
a. reduce the number of workers you employ
b. increase the number of workers you employ
c. reduce the amount of capital you are using not make any changes since you are already maximizing profit
Answer:
The answer is option A) reduce the number of workers you employ
Explanation:
Installing a new oven is capital intensive. So, for a business person to incur an additional capital cost to aid the efficiency of production, something has to give.
In this case, where capital and labor are substitutes, installing a new oven will drastically reduce the workload thereby necessitating a reduction in the number of workers.
By implication, the cost of paying wages which is a recurrent expenditure will reduce. In the long run and if the oven is maintained, it will e a very cost effective option.
Installing a new oven also suggests a marginal increment in capital.
The Converting Department of Hopkinsville Company had 1,200 units in work in process at the beginning of the period, which were 75% complete. During the period, 25,200 units were completed and transferred to the Packing Department. There were 1,360 units in process at the end of the period, which were 25% complete. Direct materials are placed into the process at the beginning of production. Determine the number of equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials and conversion costs. If an amount is zero, enter in "0".
Answer:
Equivalent Units
Material cost = 26,560
Conversion Cost= 25,540
Explanation:
We would assume the company uses weighted average method of valuation.
Under the weighted average method of valuation, to account for completed units, it is assumed that the entire degree of work required is done in the period under consideration. So there is no separation of the completed units into opening inventory and fully worked.
Equivalent units = Degree of completion (%) × Number of units
Material cost
Item Unit Equivalent unit
Completed 25,200 100% ×25200 = 25,200
Closing WIP 1,360 100%× 1,360 1360
Total equivalent units 26,560
Conversion Cost
Item Unit Equivalent unit
Completed 25,200 100% ×25200 = 25,200
Closing WIP 1,360 25%× 1,360 340
Total equivalent units 25,540
Assume the following: WIP, beginning 2 comma 500 units (100% complete as to direct materials, 50% complete as to conversion costs) Started 10 comma 500 units during the period Total spoilage is 700 with normal spoilage is calculated to be 550 units Completed and transferred out during the period 6 comma 000 units WIP, ending 6 comma 300 units (100% complete as to direct materials, 60% complete as to conversion costs) Spoiled units 700 and inspection happens when the process is 20% complete All materials are added at the start of the process Under the weighted average method, would would be the equivalent units of work done for the period? A. 9 comma 920 B. 10 comma 190 C. 6 comma 000 D. 6 comma 300
Answer:
B. 10 comma 190
Or none of the given
Explanation:
Particulars Units % of Completion Equivalent Units
Materials Conversion Materials Conversion
Transferred 6000 100 100 6000 6000
+Ending WIP 6300 100 60 6300 3780
+Normal Spoilage 550 100 60 550 330
+Abnormal
Spoilage 150 100 60 150 90
Total 13000 10200
As we see the total weighted Equivalent units for materials are 13000
and for conversion are 10200 . So the correct choice would be 10190 that is choice B which the nearest answer of the choices given to the answer calculated .
Under weighted method the Transferred out units are added to the ending work in process and the normal and abnormal spoilage is also added to find the equivalent units of production.

Discuss economic theory related to the quote above. Be sure to include a definition of Labor Force Participation Rate (LFPR) within your discussion. Locate and incorporate outside research that gives evidence and explanation as to the possible causes of these declines in the Labor Force Participation rate. Integrate biblical insights into your discussion board thread. In what way does scripture influence our decision to work
Answer:
The labor force is the group of individuals for employment. The labor force investment rate is the proportion of labor force partitioned by all out populace of the applicable age. As per month to month work survey, the labor force support rate keeps on falling. As indicated by different market analysts, this wonder is because of the blend of segment, basic, and repetitive elements. Also, due to LFPR , the support of youth and the primary age bunch is required to decay. Likewise, the investment paces of laborers of more seasoned age are additionally anticipated to increment, yet remain essentially lower than those of the prime age group. These aspects have applied descending weight on the general labor force support proportion over the 2012–2022 time period and the proportion is relied upon to decrease further, to 61.6% in 2022.
The drawn out issue of joblessness is because of repetitive and auxiliary reasons, when numerous individuals the segment organization of a nation mirrors the portions of men, ladies, and the distinctive age, race, and ethnic gatherings inside that populace. The case of the time of increased birth rates age in segment change influences the labor force investment rate. Consistently after 2000, the portion of the time of increased birth rates populace has moved into the 55-years-and-more seasoned age bunch which transfers from the principal age gathering to one with considerable lesser investment proportions, origins the general cooperation of the labor force to decay.
Which of the following is the most likely negative consequence of excessive change in an organization? Group of answer choices Staff being asked to do too much Staff being restricted to a single activity The operation of the organization at less than capacity The establishment of a system for prioritizing projects

and incompetence.
The lower level staffs and middle managers are most likely to experience, the negative consequence of excessive change in an organization because they're being asked to do too much.
Suppose that the standard deviation of monthly changes in the price of commodity A is $2. The standard deviation of monthly changes in a futures price for a contract on commodity B (which is similar to commodity A) is $3. The correlation between the futures price and the commodity price is 0.9. What hedge ratio should be used when hedging a one month exposure to the price of commodity A
Answer:
0.6
Explanation:
Correlation r = 0.9,
Standard deviation of monthly change in price of commodity A, σA = 2,
Standard deviation of monthly change in price of commodity B, σB = 3
The hedge ratio will be calculated using the formula
Hedge ratio=r×σA÷σB
Hedge ratio=0.9×2÷3
Hedge ratio = 0.6
Therefore, the hedge ratio used when hedging a one month exposure to the price of commodity A is 0.6.

Additionally, Blackstone paid a real estate brokerâs commission of $36,000, legal fees of $6,000, and title insurance of $18,000. The closing statement indicated that the land value was $500,000 and the building value was $100,000. Shortly after acquisition, the building was razed at a cost of $75,000.
Blackstone entered into a $3,000,000 fixed-price contract with Barnett Builders, Inc., on March 1, 2021, for the construction of an office building on land site 11. The building was completed and occupied on September 30, 2022. Additional construction costs were incurred as follows:
Plans, specifications, and blueprints .....................$ 12,000
Architectsâ fees for design and supervision ............95,000
To finance the construction cost, Blackstone borrowed $3,000,000 on March 1, 2021. The loan is payable in 10 annual installments of $300,000 plus interest at the rate of 14%. Blackstoneâs average amounts of accumulated building construction expenditures were as follows:
For the period March 1 to December 31, 2021 ...........$ 900,000
For the period January 1 to September 30, 2022 .......2,300,000
Required:
1. Prepare a schedule that discloses the individual costs making up the balance in the land account in respect of land site 11 as of September 30, 2022.
2. Prepare a schedule that discloses the individual costs that should be capitalized in the office building account as of September 30, 2022.
Answer:
Blackstone Corporation
1. A schedule that discloses the individual costs making up the balance in the land account in respect of land site 11 as of September 30, 2022:
Cost of Land = $600,000
Broker's Commission = $36,000
Legal Fees = $6,000
Title Insurance = $18,000
Razing of old building = $75,000
Total = $735,000
2. A schedule that discloses the individual costs that should be capitalized in the office building account as of September 30, 2022:
Payment to contractor for building = $3,000,000
Plans, specifications, and blueprints = $12,000
Architect's fees (design & supervision = $95,000
Capitalized Interest ($3m x14%/10 x 2) = $84,000
Total = $3,191,000
Explanation:
a) The cost of land to recognize includes the actual cost for the parcel of land, including the building which was razed. All other expenses incurred ordinarily and necessarily in order to put the land to its intended use are also capitalized. The costs for the broker's commission, legal fees, title insurance, and razing of old building were incurred ordinarily and necessarily for the land and are therefore capitalized in determining the value of the land.
b) The capitalized interest portion for the building is the interests paid to date. The contractor's fee, payments for plans, architect's fee, and interests are included as costs of the building.

(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Assume you can invest money at a 14 percent rate of return. How much money must be invested now to be able to withdraw $5,000 from this investment at the end of each year for eight years, the first withdrawal occurring one year from now
Answer:
the original amount invested = $285,714.29
Explanation:
Let original amount invested be x
Amount to be withdrawn per year = $5,000
Total number of years = 8
Total amount to be withdrawn = 5,000 × 8 = $40,000
Next, we are told that 14% return on x is realized,
∴ 14% return on x = $40,000
0.14 × x = 40,000
x = 40,000 ÷ 0.14 = $285,714.29
Therefore, the original amount invested = $285,714.29

Which of the following statements generates the greatest amount of disagreement among economists? a. Increases in the money supply shift aggregate demand to the right. b. In the long run, increases in the money supply increase prices, but not output. c. Recessions are associated with decreases in consumption, investment, and employment. d. Government should use fiscal policy to try to stabilize the economy.
Answer:
d. Government should use fiscal policy to try to stabilize the economy.
Explanation:
Suggesting that the government should use fiscal policy to try to stabilize the economy generates the greatest amount of disagreement among economists because the process of implementing fiscal policy usually experiences lag as it is being slowed down by the political system (bureaucracy) of checks and balances.
Fiscal policy is the use of government expenditures, revenues and tax policies to influence macroeconomic conditions such as employment, inflation and Aggregate Demand (ADl in a specific country.
The benefits of fiscal policy is that investments, savings and growth is usually influenced in the long-run while it basically influences aggregate demand for goods and services in the short-run.
Hancock Medical Supply Co., earned $90,500 of revenue on account during Year 1, its first year of operation. During Year 1, Hancock collected $71,400 of cash from its receivables accounts. The company did not write-off any uncollectible accounts. It estimates that it will be unable to collect 1% of revenue on account. What is the net realizable value of receivables that will be reported on the balance sheet at December 31, Year 1
Answer:
$18,195
Explanation:
The computation of the net realizable value is shown below:
As we know that
Net Realizable Value of Receivables = Ending Accounts Receivable - Estimated Uncollectibles amount
where,
Ending balance of Accounts Receivable is
= Revenue on Account - Accounts collected
= $90,500 - $71,400
= $191,00
And,
Estimated Uncollectibles i.e Bad debt Expense is
= Revenue on Account × given percentage
= $90,500 × 1%
= $905
So, the net realizable value is
= $19,100 - $905
= $18,195
We simply applied the above formula

Used to repurchased for common stock (b) 30,750 shares (41,000 shares × $9 ÷ $12)
Number of shares for exercised (c) 41,000 shares
Less: repurchased shares (d) -30,750 shares
Diluted common shares {e = c - d} 10,250 shares
Add: Common shares (f) 164,000 shares
Total number of shares for diluted earning per share 174,250 shares
We ignored the market price of common stock as it is not relevant.
Milton Friedman argues that __________.
O corporations today should adopt a broader view of their social responsibilities than they have in the past.
O corporate officials have a social responsibility that goes beyond serving the interests of their stockholders.
O strict governmental controls are necessary if society is to maximize its overall economic well-being.
O a business's only social responsibility is to maximize profits within the rules of the game.

If a firm has retained earnings of $2.7 million, a common shares account of $4.7 million, and additional paid-in capital of $9.4 million, how would these accounts change in response to a 10 percent stock dividend? Assume market value of equity is equal to book value of equity.
Answer:
Change in retained earnings = $1.02 million (Decrease)
Change in common shares account = $5.17 million (Increase)
Change in additional paid-in capital = $10.61 million (Increase)
Explanation:
Given:
Retained earnings = $2.7 million
Common shares account = $4.7 million
Additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million
Stock dividend = 10%
Find:
Changes in account.
Computation:
1. Change in retained earnings
Change in retained earnings = Retained earnings - (Retained earnings - Common shares account - Additional paid-in capital)Stock dividend
Change in retained earnings = $2.7 million - ($2.7 million - $4.7 million - $9.4 million)10%
Change in retained earnings = $2.7 million - 1.68 million
Change in retained earnings = $1.02 million (Decrease)
2. Change in common shares account
Change in common shares account = Common shares account (1+Stock dividend)
Change in common shares account = $4.7 million (1+10%)
Change in common shares account = $5.17 million (Increase)
3. Change in additional paid-in capital
Change in additional paid-in capital = Additional paid-in capital + (Additional paid-in capital + Retained earnings)Stock dividend
Change in additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million + ($9.4 million + $2.7 million)10%
Change in additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million + 1.21 million
Change in additional paid-in capital = $10.61 million (Increase)

Cost of Buying Product
Component can be bought for $3.90 per unit. 50,000 units to be bought gives,
= 50,000 * 3.9
= $195,000
Cost of buying is $195,000
Decision
Company should buy the component as it spends less in buying it than I making it.
Note - Allocated fixed costs were not included in calculation because they will be there regardless of the decision. Hence the term, incremental costs.
Answer:
elb Company
a) Incremental Cost of making 50,000 units:
Variable costs = $2.95 x 50,000 = $147,500
Avoidable fixed costs = $67,000
Total = $214,500
b) Incremental Cost of buying 50,000
Buy-in costs =- $3.90 x 50,000 = $195,000
c) The company should buy this component from the outside supplier.
Explanation:
In make or buy decisions, only variable and avoidable costs are taken into consideration. Unavoidable fixed costs are sunk costs which must be incurred irrespective of the choice made.
Therefore, the unavoidable allocated fixed costs of $61,500 should not be taken into consideration. Afterall, no matter the decision, it would still be incurred and allocated.

For the current year ended December 31, the partnership has book income of $80,000, which includes the following deductions: (1) guaranteed payments (salaries) to partners: Matt, $35,000; and Joel, $25,000; and (2) charitable contributions, $6,000. The book income amount does not include any sales of capital assets or Sec. 1231 assets or any taxminusexempt income. Based on the above information, what amount should be reported as ordinary income on the partnership return?
Answer:
$86,000
Explanation:
A partnership is a pass through entity that is not taxed directly, but instead its partners are taxed. Even the partners' salaries are recorded as drawings, not salary expense.
The partnership's total ordinary income = book income + any donations or contributions to charities = $80,000 + $6,000 = $86,000
Scenario 28-1 Suppose that the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the entire adult population of Mankiwland can be categorized as follows: 25 million people employed, 3 million people unemployed, 1 million discouraged workers, and 1 million people who are either students, homemakers, retirees, or other people not seeking employment. Refer to Scenario 28-1. What is the unemployment rate?
Answer:
10.7%
Explanation:
Solution:
Recall that:
The Reports from Bureau of labor statistics is shown as follows:
Employed people = 25 million
Unemployed people = 3 million
Discouraged workers = 1 million
Workers or Homemakers or retirees, or students = 1 million
The next step from this scenario is to find out the unemployment rate
Now,
The rate of unemployed = (unemployed x 100 ) / labor force
= 300/28
=10.7%

Hardware is adding a new product line that will require an investment of $ 1 comma 476 comma 000. Managers estimate that this investment will have a 10-year life and generate net cash inflows of $ 300 comma 000 the first year, $ 290 comma 000 the second year, and $ 240 comma 000 each year thereafter for eight years. Assume the project has no residual value. Compute the ARR for the investment. Round to two places
Answer:
42,51%
Explanation:
Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) = Average Profits / Average Investment
Calculation of Average Profits
Average Profit = Sum of Profits / Number of Years
= (300,000+290,000+240,000×8)/10
= $2,510,000 / 8
= $313,750
Calculation of Average Investment
Average Investment = Initial Investment + Scrape Value / 2
= $1,476,000/2
= $738,000
Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) = $313,750/$738,000×100
= 42,51%
