Suppose a city block was going to be used for a parking lot in both New York City and a small town. The opportunity cost would be multiple choice 2 lower in New York City because the alternative uses of the city block are more varied. lower in a small city because the alternative uses of the city block are more varied. greater in New York City because the alternative uses of the city block are more valuable. greater in a small city because the alternative uses of the city block are more valuable.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

c. The opportunity cost would be greater in New York City because the alternative uses of the block are more valuable.

Explanation:

Value of piece of land would be much higher in New York City in comparison to a small town.

This means that if a piece of land is used for parking lot in the New York City then the alternative use of such land would be more valuable in comparison to the utilization of similar piece of land in a small town.

Higher the value of alternative uses, higher would be the opportunity cost. So, the opportunity cost would be greater in New York City because the alternative uses of the block are more valuable.

Suppose the United States is currently producing 100tons of hamburgers and 45tons of tacos and Mexico is currently producing 20tons of hamburgers and 25tons of tacos. If the United States and Mexico each specialize in producing only one good​ (the good for which each has a comparative​ advantage), then a total of nothingadditional​ ton(s) of hamburgers can be produced for the two countries combined ​(enter a numeric response using an​ integer)

Answers

Answer: 50 additional tons of hamburgers

Explanation:

United States opportunity costs:

Hamburger opportunity cost = 45/100 = 0.45 tons of tacos

Taco opportunity cost = 100/45 = 2.22 tones of hamburgers

Mexico opportunity cost:

Hamburger opportunity cost = 25/20 = 1.25 tons of tacos

Taco opportunity cost = 20/25 = 0.8 tones of hamburgers

US should specialize in Hamburger production because they have a lower opportunity cost.

If both countries combined production of hamburgers then the total would be:

= 100 + 20

= 120 tons of hamburgers

There is missing information on this question which is the US production of hamburgers when it produces 0 tacos. We shall assume that number to be 170 tons of hamburgers.

The total additional tons produced would be:

= US tons when producing only hamburgers - Combined hamburger production

= 170 - 120

= 50 additional tons of hamburgers

how to journalize this?

Answers

When a business transaction requires a journal entry, we must follow these rules:

The entry must have at least 2 accounts with 1 DEBIT amount and at least 1 CREDIT amount.

The DEBITS are listed first and then the CREDITS.

The DEBIT amounts will always equal the CREDIT amounts.

For another example, let’s look at the transaction analysis we did in the previous chapter for Metro Courier (click Transaction analysis):

1. The owner invested $30,000 cash in the corporation. We analyzed this transaction by increasing both cash (an asset) and common stock (an equity) for $30,000. We learned you increase an asset with a DEBIT and increase an equity with a CREDIT. The journal entry would look like this:

2. Purchased $5,500 of equipment with cash. We analyzed this transaction as increasing the asset Equipment and decreasing the asset Cash. To increase an asset, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit. This journal entry would be:

plz follow me

one thanks give me motivation for answering

plz mark me brainliest

Answer:

All the journal entries illustrated so far have involved one debit and one credit; these journal entries are called simple journal entries. Many business transactions, however, affect more than two accounts. The journal entry for these transactions involves more than one debit and/or credit. Such journal entries are called compound journal entries.

Explanation:

1.  The owner invested $30,000 cash in the corporation.  We analyzed this transaction by increasing both cash (an asset) and common stock (an equity) for $30,000. We learned you increase an asset with a DEBIT and increase an equity with a CREDIT

2.  Purchased $5,500 of equipment with cash.  We analyzed this transaction as increasing the asset Equipment and decreasing the asset Cash.  To increase an asset, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.

3. Purchased a new truck for $8,500 cash.   We analyzed this transaction as increasing the asset Truck and decreasing the asset Cash.  To increase an asset, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.

4.  Purchased $500 in supplies on account.  We analyzed this transaction as increasing the asset Supplies and the liability Accounts Payable.  To increase an asset, we debit and to increase a liability, use credit.

5.  Paid $300 for supplies previously purchased.  Since we previously purchased the supplies and are not buying any new ones, we analyzed this to decrease the liability accounts payable and the asset cash.  To decrease a liability, use debit and to decrease and asset, use debit.

6.  Paid February and March Rent in advance for $1,800.  When we pay for an expense in advance, it is an asset.  We want to increase the asset Prepaid Rent and decrease Cash.  To increase an asset, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.

7.  Performed work for customers and received $50,000 cash.  We analyzed this transaction to increase the asset cash and increase the revenue Service Revenue.  To increase an asset, use debit and to increase a revenue, use credit.

8.  Performed work for customers and billed them $10,000.  We analyzed this transaction to increase the asset accounts receivable (since we have not gotten paid but will receive it later) and increase revenue.  To increase an asset, use debit and to increase a revenue, use credit.

9.  Received $5,000 from customers from work previously billed.  We analyzed this transaction to increase cash since we are receiving cash and we want to decrease accounts receivable since we are receiving money from customers who we billed previously and not new work we are doing.  To increase an asset, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.

10 Paid office salaries $900.  We analyzed this transaction to increase salaries expense and decrease cash since we paid cash.  To increase an expense, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.

11. Paid utility bill $1,200.  We analyzed this transaction to increase utilities expense and decrease cash since we paid cash.  To increase an expense, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.

Emilio’s accountant told him that if he continues to pay $50 a month on his credit card, it will take him 42 years to pay off his current balance (assuming the interest rate doesn’t change and assuming he doesn’t charge anything else on that card). His credit card interest rate is 18.99%. What is his balance?

Answers

Answer:

$3,158.40  

Explanation:

The current balance on his credit card is the present value of $50 payable per month over 42-year period as shown below:

PV=monthly payment*(1-(1+r)^-n/r

PV=the unknown

montly paymet=$50

r=monthly interest rate= 18.99%/12=0.015825

n=number of monthly payments=42*12=504

PV=$50*(1-(1+0.015825)^-504/0.015825

PV=$50*(1-(1.015825)^-504/0.015825

PV=$50*(1-0.000365827)/0.015825

PV=$50*0.999634173/0.015825

PV=$3,158.40

2000 nominal GDP = $_________
2001 nominal GDP = $_________
2000 real GDP = $_________
2001 real GDP = $_________

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

Nominal GDP = Sum of (Present Year Price × Present Year Quantity)

And,  

Real GDP = Sum of (Base Year Price × Present Year Quantity)

Now

(a) Nominal GDP, 2000 is

= $[(7 × 600) + (70 × 20) + (300 × 5)]

= $4,200 + $1,400 + $1,500

= $7,100

(b) Nominal GDP, 2001 is

= $[(3 × 400) + (20 × 90) + (300 × 5)]

= ($1,200 + $1,800 + $1,500)

= $4,500

(c) Real GDP, 2000 is

= $[(3 × 600) + (20 × 20) + (300 × 5)]

= $1,800 + $400 + 1,500

= $3,700

(d) Real GDP, 2001 is

= $[(3 × 400) + (20 × 90) + (300 × 5)]

= $1,200 + $1,800 + $1,500

= $4,500

In 2008, Betserai was a 10-year-old quintrillionaire living in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. He was literally rolling in money. In fact, Betserai has so much money that he decided to make kites out of billion dollar bills instead of putting the money into the bank to earn interest. None of Betserai's friends bothered to save their money, either. Rupert was Betserai's American pen pal and heard of Betserai's story and was extremely confused. He was taught that Zimbabwe was one of the poorer countries in the world, or at the least substantially poorer than the United States. Which statement best explains this phenomenon?
A. A country's wealth is based on the amount of money in circulation.
B. Zimbabwe was in the midst of an incredible economic boom, substantially increasing the wealth of all its citizens.

The interest rate is 11% simple annual rate. c) Calculate the PV of a perpetuity with a cash flow of $333,333 received every third year. The first cash flow occurs in year 3. The interest rate is 11% simple annual rate.

Answers

Answer:

a) Calculate the PV of a perpetuity with a cash flow of $111,111 received every year. The first cash flow occurs in year 1. The interest rate is 11% simple annual rate.

PV of a perpetuity = annual payment / interest rate = $111,111 / 11% = $1,010,100

b) Calculate the PV of a perpetuity with a cash flow of $222,222 received every second year. The first cash flow occurs in year 2. The interest rate is 11% simple annual rate.

PV of a perpetuity = annual payment / interest rate = $222,222 / (11% x 2) = $1,010,100

c) Calculate the PV of a perpetuity with a cash flow of $333,333 received every third year. The first cash flow occurs in year 3. The interest rate is 11% simple annual rate.

PV of a perpetuity = annual payment / interest rate = $333,333 / (11% x 3) = $1,010,100

5          $200,000                $228,836.80     $28,837.00   $2,000,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

10% Bonds' maturity value = $2,000,000

Bonds sales value = $1,855,816

Total discount = $144,184

Annual Interest = $200,000 ($2,000,000 * 10%)

Maturity period = 5 years (January 1, 2020 to January 1, 2025)

Annual amortization of discount = $28,836.80 ($144,184/5)

Total interest cost with amortized discount each year = $228,836.80

b) Under the straight line method, the premium or discount on the bond is amortized in equal amounts over the life of the bond, as demonstrated above.

Based on the information given, it should be noted that the Cash Interest, Discount amortized and Interest Expenses will be  $20,000, $28836.80, and $228836.80 respectively.

Interest expense

From the information given, the following can be calculated:

Discount on issue = $2000000 - $1855816 = $144184

Discount to be amortized on each interest date = $144184 / 5 = $28836.80

Cash interest annual = $2000000 * 10% = $200000

Therefore, the Cash Interest, Discount amortized and Interest Expenses from 2020 to 2025 will be  $20,000, $28836.80, and $228836.80 respectively.

First, we will calculate the future value of the 18 deposits 19 years from now. Also the value of the $18,418 19 years from now.

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit= 9,359

n= 18

i= 0.04

FV= {9,359*[(1.04^18) - 1]} / 0.04

FV= $240,015.42

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV= 18,418*(1.04^19)

FV= $38,803.95

Total FV= 240,015.42 + 38,803.95= $278,819.37

Finally, the value of the account for the remaining 30 years:

FV= 278,819.37*(1.04^30)

FV= $904,322.05

There is increased time and effort spent looking for trading partners. D. There is a lack of standardization. E. There is difficulty in accumulating wealth. OF. Transactions costs are almost always high.

Answers

Answer:

C)There is increased time and effort spent looking for trading partners.

D)There is a lack of standardization.

E)There is difficulty in accumulating wealth.

Explanation:

barter in a trade can be regarded as a system of exchange that involves exchange of goods and services for another without using money as a medium of exchange. Barter is been considered as 'inefficient' as a result of the needs for 'double coincidence of wants'. For instance in a situation whereby someone is buying particular amount of another's goods, but the payment he/she has is for just one indivisible unit of another good, and the worth is higher than what he/she want to obtain, in this case there won't be barter transaction.

It should be noted that the costs and sources of inefficiency in a barter are;

✓There is increased time and effort spent looking for trading partners.

✓There is a lack of standardization.

✓There is difficulty in accumulating

On January 1, 2020, Marigold Corp. purchased a machine costing $355000. The machine is in the MACRS 5-year recovery class for tax purposes and has an estimated $74000 salvage value at the end of its economic life. It's based on half year convention. Assuming the company uses the general MACRS approach, the amount of MACRS deduction for tax purposes for the year 2020 is

Answers

Answer:

$71,000

Explanation:

Note: The MARCS Table is attached below

Depreciation for 2020 = Cost*Rate%

Depreciation for 2020 = $355000*20%

Depreciation for 2020 = $71,000.

Note: MACRS depreciation disregards the salvage value and depreciates the asset to zero over the life of the asset.

Answers

Answer:

The taxes owed (or saved in the case of losses) in the current tax year for each of the following situations) are:

     Taxes owed     Taxes saved

a.       $1,590              $0

b.       $0                     $1,000

c.       $150                 $0

f.       $0                   $2,500

g.      $0                  $5,000

Explanation:

a) Data:

Investor's tax bracket = 33% (same as the short-term capital gains taxes)

Long-term capital gains taxes = 15%

b) Events and Calculations:

a) Net short-term capital gains of $3,000; net long-term capital gains of $4,000

Short-term tax = $990 ($3,000*33%)

Long-term tax = $600 ($4,000*15%)

Total taxes =    $1,590

b) Net short-term capital gains of $3,000; net long-term capital losses of $4,000

Long-term capital losses = $4,000

Short-term capital gains =   (3,000)

Savings =                             $1,000

c) Net short-term capital losses of $3,000; net long-term capital gains of $4,000

Long-term capital gains = $4,000

Short-term capital losses  (3,000)

Long-term capital gains taxes = $150 ($1,000 * 15%)

d) Net short-term capital gains of $3,000; net long-term capital losses of $2,000

Short-term capital gains = $3,000

Long-term capital losses   (2,000)

Savings =                            $1,000

e) Net short-term capital losses of $4,000; net long-term capital gains of $3,000

Short-term capital losses = $4,000

Long-term capital gains       (3,000)

Savings                                $1,000

f) Net short-term capital losses of $1,000; net long-term capital losses of $1,500

Short-term capital losses = $1,000

Long-term capital losses      1,500

Savings =                            $2,500

g) Net short-term capital losses of $3,000; net long-term capital losses of $2,000

Short-term capital losses = $3,000

Long-term capital losses      2,000

Savings =                            $5,000

A review of Parson Corporation's accounting records found that at a volume of 90,000 units, the variable and fixed cost per unit amounted to $8 and $4, respectively. On the basis of this information, what amount of total cost would Parson anticipate at a volume of 85,000 units

Answers

Answer:

Total cost= $1,040,000

Explanation:

For 90,000 units:

Unitary variable cost= $8

Unitary fixed cost= $4

First, we need to calculate the total fixed cost:

Total fixed cost= 4*90,000= $360,000

Now, we can determine the total cost for 85,000 units:

Total cost= 85,000*8 + 360,000

Total cost= $1,040,000

Batch Co. employs knowledge workers and is finding that its employees are retiring closer to age 75 than to age 65. As a result, they recently amended their defined benefit pension plan such that benefits will begin at age 72, with certain exceptions for those employees demonstrating an earlier need, instead of at age 60. Batch Co. has been able to measure the actuarial present value of this amendment, which is the change in the projected benefit obligation (PBO) that results from the change. How will this affect pension expense in current and future periods?

Answers

Answer:

It will decrease prior service cost and, as prior service cost is amortized, will decrease pension expense.

Explanation:

In the given if there is any change in the projected benefit obligation so the pension expense would impact in the present and future period by reducing the service cost that incurred before also the service cost that incurred before would be amortized that ultimately reduce the pension expense

Direct Materials Purchased 171,000
Factory Overhead Applied 112,000
Operating Income 22,000
Direct Materials Inventory, Beginning 18,000
Direct Materials Inventory, Ending 6,000
Cost of Goods Manufactured 340,000
Direct Labor 55,000

The CFO of Stephenson Company has asked you to recalculate the following accounts and report to him by week's end.

What should be the amount of direct materials used?

a. $208,400
b. $405,500
c. $440,800
d. $201,500

Answers

Answer:

Direct material used= $183,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct Materials Purchased 171,000

Direct Materials Inventory, Beginning 18,000

Direct Materials Inventory, Ending 6,000

To calculate the direct material used, we need to use the following formula:

Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory

Direct material used= 18,000 + 171,000 - 6,000

Direct material used= $183,000

Prove:

cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP

cost of goods manufactured= 30,000 + 183,000 + 55,000 + 112,000 - 40,000

cost of goods manufactured= $340,000

Last month, you lent a work colleague $5000 to cover some overdue bills. He agreed to pay you in 1 month with interest at 2% for the month, thus owing you $5100. Today, when the repayment is due, he asked you to extend the loan for another month and he would pay you the $5100 next month. In the meantime, you have had the offer to invest as much as you wish in an oil-well venture that is expected to pay 40% per year and a hot new IT stock that is estimated to return 39% the first year. If you let your colleague have another month, what is the opportunity cost of your decision

Answers

Answer:

The opportunity cost of lending the money to the friend is the largest expected return that could be earned with the money loaned to the friend. From the available opportunity, the investor could earn maximum of 40% by investing in oil well venture. Thus, the opportunity cost to the investor is 40%

The opportunity cost in dollar = Investment * Opportunity cost in %

= $5,000 * 40%

= $2,000

Thus, the opportunity cost in dollar is $2,000

Answers

Answer:

$13.55

Explanation:

The contribution margin per unit is computed as;

= Selling price - (Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead + Sales commission + Variable administrative expense)

= $28.10 - ($7.50 + $3.85 + $1.55 + $1.05 + $0.60)

= $28.10 - $14.55

= $13.55

Therefore , the contribution margin per unit is $13.55
