Answer:
-0.20
Explanation:
Cross price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded of good A to changes in price of good B.
If cross price elasticity of demand is positive, it means that the goods are substitute goods.
Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of another good.
If the cross-price elasticity is negative, it means that the goods are complementary goods.
Complementary goods are goods that are consumed together
Cross Price elasticity of demand = midpoint change in quantity demanded / midpoint change in price
Midpoint change in quantity demanded = change in quantity demanded / average of both demands
change in quantity demanded = 16 million - 14 million = 2 million
Average = (16 million + 14 million) / 2 = 15 million
2 / 15 = 0.133
midpoint change in price = change in price / average of both price
change in price = 1 - 2 = - 1
average of price =(2 + 1) / 2 = 1.5
-1/1.5 = -0.67
0.1333 / -0.67

To meet projected annual sales, Bluegill Manufacturers, Inc. needs to produce 75,000 machines for the year. The estimated January 1 inventory is 7,000 units, and the desired December 31 inventory is 12,000 units. What are projected sales units for the year? fill in the blank 1 units
Answer: 70,000 units
Explanation:
You can use the formula for the ending inventory to get this:
Ending inventory = Opening inventory + Production for the year - Projected sales
12,000 = 7,000 + 75,000 - Projected sales
12,000 + Projected sales = 82,000
Projected sales = 82,000 - 12,000
Projected sales = 70,000 units
You made an investment of $15,000 into an account that paid you an annual interest rate of 3.8 percent for the first 8 years and 8.2 percent for the next 10 years. What was your annual rate of return over the entire 18 years

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Machining= 2.5*7.2
Machining= $18
If a fixed asset, such as a computer, were purchased on January 1st for $3,750 with an estimated life of 3 years and a salvage or residual value of $150, the journal entry for monthly expense under straight-line depreciation is: (Note: EOM indicates the last day of each month.)
Answer:
EOM depreciation expense $100
accumulated depreciation $100
Explanation:
Depreciation is a method used in expensing the cost of an asset.
Yearly Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
($3750 - $150) / 3 = $1200
Monthly depreciation = yearly depreciation / 12
1200 /12 = 100
Accumulated depreciation is sum of depreciation expense
An owner can lease her building for $160,000 per year for three years. The explicit cost of maintaining the building is $55,000, and the implicit cost is $70,000. All revenues are received, and costs borne, at the end of each year. If the interest rate is 5 percent, determine the present value of the stream of:_______.
a. Accounting profits.
b. Economic profits.
Answer:
a. Accounting profits.
Account profit = Revenue - explicit cost
= 160,000 - 55,000
= $105,000
Present value of $105,000 per year for 3 years is:
= 105,000 * Present value interest factor of an Annuity, 3 years, 5%
= 105,000 * 2.7232
= $285,936
b. Economic profit
Economic profit = Revenue - explicit cost - implicit cost
= 160,000 - 55,000 - 70,000
= $35,000
Present value of $35,000 per year for 3 years:
= 35,000 * Present value interest factor of an Annuity, 3 years, 5%
= 35,000 * 2.7232
= $95,312
Note: The profits were treated as annuities as they were constant.

XYZ expects to sell 28,000 pools in 2019. It budgets the beginning inventory of Direct Materials, Work-in-process, and Finished goods to be 26,000; 0; 1,300 units; AND ending inventory to be 26,000; 0; 2,800 units. How many pools need to be produced
Answer:
the no of pools need to be produced is 29,500 units
Explanation:
The computation of the no of pools need to be produced is given below:
= Ending finished goods inventory units + number of units sold - beginning finished goods inventory units
= 2800 + 28000 - 1300
= 29500 units.
Hence, the no of pools need to be produced is 29,500 units
Calculate the total Social Security and Medicare tax burden on a sole proprietorship earning 2020 profit of $300,000, assuming a single sole proprietor with no other earned income.
Answer: $25,802.70
Explanation:
Social security
Social security rates in 2020 for a single sole proprietor is 12.40% on the first $137,700:
= 12.40% * 300,000
= $17,074.80
Medicare Tax
First you need to remove a deduction of 7.65% from the income:
= 300,000 * (1 - 7.65%)
= $277,050
Medicare tax is 2.90% of this adjusted amount in addition to 0.9% for any amount above $200,000:
= (2.90% * 277,050) + (0.9% * (277,050 - 200,000))
= 8,034.45 + 693.45
= $8,727.90
Total Social security and Medicare:
= 17,074.80 + 8,727.9
= $25,802.70

Purple Cab Company had 70,000 shares of common stock outstanding on January 1, 2021. On April 1, 2021, the company issued 40,000 shares of common stock. The company had outstanding fully vested incentive stock options for 7,000 shares exercisable at $12 that had not been exercised by its executives. The average market price of common stock was $14. The company reported net income in the amount of $289,915 for 2021. What is the basic earnings per share (rounded)
Answer:
Purple Cab Company
The basic earnings per share is:
= $2.64 per share.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
January 1, 2021, Outstanding common stock shares = 70,000
April 1, 2021, Issue of new common stock shares = 40,000
December, 31, 2021, Outstanding common stock shares = 110,000
Outstanding fully vested incentive stock options = 7,000
Exercise price of options = $12
Common stock market price = $14
Reported net income = $289,915
The basic earnings per share = $ (Net income/Outstanding common stock)
= $289,915/110,000
= $2.64 per share
b) The basic earnings per share does not include the fully vested incentive stock options. It is only when calculating the diluted earnings per share that the stock options will be included.
