Solution :
According to the theory of demand and supply, the equilibrium price and the quantity is established where both the demand and supply curves intersect.
From the graph, we can see that the point of equilibrium is at the intersection of D and S.
At this point, mathematically, D = S. In order to determine the price and quantity which exists at this point, we need to equate the demand as well as supply functions to calculate the equilibrium values.
∵ D is equal to S, we have
[tex]$240-1.00P=1.00P$[/tex]
[tex]240=2P[/tex]
[tex]120=P[/tex]
Now substituting this value of the equilibrium price in to any of the functions, we get the equilibrium quantity at this price.
[tex]$Q=240-1.00P$[/tex]
[tex]$Q=240-1.00(120)$[/tex]
[tex]$Q=240-120$[/tex]
[tex]$Q=120$[/tex]
This is the equilibrium quantity. At this point, equilibrium price as well as the quantity is the same. Let the price of the golf club increases from $120 to $140. So substituting the value to the function above to determine the new quantity.
[tex]$Q = 240-1.00(140)$[/tex]
= 100
Therefore, when the demanded quantity decreases from 120 thousand clubs to 100 thousand clubs. This increases the price and decreases the quantity as the supply curve moved to the left. The demand remains constant.
The relationship between current assets and current liabilities is called:_______
a) the matching principle.
b) useful in determining income.
c) useful in evaluating a company's liquidity.
d) useful in determining the amount of a company's long-term debt.
Answer:
Option "C" is correct.
Explanation:
Option "C" is correct because the current assets and current liabilitites are used to find the liquidity. The current liabilities are the one that has to pay within the year. Similarly, the current assets are the ones that can be converted into cash within the year. Therefore, the evaluation of both gives the idea of the company's liquidity.

Ellen Co. has offered their customers a 1% discount off the amount owed if they pay within 15 days of receiving their bill. Handler Company owed Ellen Co. $2,185 as of May 1st and paid Ellen Co. on May 7th. How much cash did Handler Company send to Ellen Co. on May 7th?
Answer:
Money send to Ellen = $2163.15
Explanation:
Discount offered by the Ellen Co. = 1%
Owed amount = $2185
Since the amount is repaid within 15 days to the offer of a 1% discount will be applicable. So the Handler will send an amount that is 1% less than the actual amount.
Money send to Ellen = 2185 - (1% x 2185)
Money send to Ellen = $2163.15
A one-year insurance policy was purchased on June 1 for $2,400. The adjusting entry on December 31 would be:____________. (If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.) Dec. 31 i. Accounts Payable ii. Cash iii. Insurance Expense iv. Insurance Payable v. Prepaid Insurance
Answer:
Adjusting Journal Entry:
Debit Insurance Expense $1,400
Credit Prepaid Insurance $1,400
To record the insurance expense for the year (7 months).
Explanation:
This adjustment will cause the Prepaid Insurance account to remain $1,000. This balance represents the insurance cost for 5 months having deducted the insurance cost for 7 months from June 1 to December 31. So, in line with the accrual concept and the matching principle of generally accepted accounting principles, only $1,400 Insurance was incurred for the current year. The balance will be charged to the account when the service is consumed.
In its 2001 annual report, investors of Adelphia Communications were startled to find a footnote to its financial statements that reported the company had guaranteed as much as $2.7 billion in loans to a private entity owned by CEO John Rigas and his family. As a result of the footnote, Adelphia lost more than 50 percent of its market value in little more than a week.
Required:
Explain why you think the market value of Adelphia fell so dramatically with the footnote disclosure that the company had guaranteed loans to an entity owned by the company's CEO and his family
Answer:
Explanation:
The transaction of $2.7 billion as a loan lender to a private corporation controlled by the CEO John Rigas plus his family suggests a significant likelihood of asset theft and fraudulent activity. The misappropriation of assets is a sign of a company's financial instability. It implies that people in charge of administration are not using the firm's profits to maximize shareholders' wealth, but rather are advancing the interests of only one shareholder.
As soon as the news reaches the investors, a reasonable investor would sell his stock holdings and divest from the firm. As a result of the bulk of investors' divestment, stock prices have dropped by more than 50% in a week in Adelphia Communications.
On January 1, 2019, Wasson Company purchased a delivery vehicle costing $36,500. The vehicle has an estimated 6-year life and a $3,500 residual value. What is the vehicle's book value as of December 31, 2020, assuming Wasson uses the straight-line depreciation method
Answer:
Book value= $25,500
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $36,500
Residual value= $3,500
Useful life= 6 years
First, we need to calculate the annual depreciation:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (36,500 - 3,500) / 6
Annual depreciation= $5,500
Now, the accumulated depreciation and book value:
Accumulated depreciation= 5,500*2= $11,000
Book value= 36,500 - 11,000
Book value= $25,500

Iron Man Foundry produces multiple products, one of which is casting a hose nozzle. The daily demand for these nozzles is 1,000 units per day. If Iron Man currently operates one shift of eight hours what would be the Takt time
Answer: 0.48 minutes
Explanation:
Takt time = Net time available / Daily demand
Net time available is number of minutes in a shift so:
= 8 hours * 60 minutes
= 480 minutes
Daily demand = 1,000 units
Takt time = 480 / 1,000
= 0.48 minutes

Problems and Applications Q8 Suppose subway ridership in New York City declined by 4.3 percent after a fare increase of 25 cents to $1.50. Using the midpoint method, an estimate of the price elasticity of demand for subway rides is . True or False: According to your estimate, the Transit Authority's revenue rises when the fare increases. True False
Answer:
Price elasticity of demand = Percentage in quantity demanded / Percentage change in price
We already have the percentage change in quantity demanded as -4.3%.
We need to find the percentage change in price using the midpoint method.
= (New price - Old price) ÷ ((New Price + Old price) / 2)
Old price = 1.50 - 0.25 = $1.25
Percentage change in price = (1.50 - 1.25) ÷ ((1.50 + 1.25) / 2)
= 18.18%
Price elasticity of demand = -4.3% / 18.18%
= -0.24
According to your estimate, the Transit Authority's revenue rises when the fare increases. TRUE.
The statement is true because the price elasticity of demand here is Inelastic and when this is the case, revenue rises when the price of the good or service increases.
The price elasticity of demand is inelastic when it is less than 1 which is the case here.

The theory which states that problems arise in corporations because top management no longer is willing to bear the brunt of their decisions unless they own a substantial amount of stock in the corporation is called
Answer:
Agency theory.
Explanation:
A corporation can be defined as a corporate organization that has facilities and owns or controls assets used for the production of goods and services in at least one country other than its headquarter (home office) located in its home country.
This ultimately implies that, a corporation is a corporate organization that owns or controls its business in two or more countries.
Typically, it is considered to be one of the most complicated and expensive type of organization. Generally, a corporation is considered to be perpetual in nature and it is a body that comprises of a group of people such as directors, shareholders etc., who act as a single entity.
One of the advantage of a corporation is that, owners have limited liability for debt to the extent to which they have invested and as such are not personally liable for some of debt owed by corporation.
The theory which states that problems arise in corporations because top management no longer is willing to bear the brunt of their decisions unless they own a substantial amount of stock in the corporation is called agency theory.

Gravity, Inc., needs to raise $53 million to fund its expansion plans. The company will sell shares at a price of $29.00 in a general cash offer and the company's underwriters will charge a spread of 7.5 percent. How many shares need to be sold?a- 1,975,769b- 1,827,586c- 1,457,212d- 2,195,299e- 1,700,080
Answer:
a. 1,975,769
Explanation:
Underwriter's commission per share = 7.5% * $29
Underwriter's commission per share = $2.175
Amount received by company per share = Price per share in general cash offer - Underwriter's commission per share
Amount received by company per share = $29 - $2.175
Amount received by company per share = $26.825
Amount that company wants to raise = Number of shares sold * Amount received by company per share
53,000,000 = Number of shares sold * $26.825
Number of shares sold = 53,000,000 / $26.825
Number of shares sold = 1975768.87
No of shares to be sold = 1,975,768

Russell Preston delivers parts for several local auto parts stores. He charges clients $0.75 per mile driven. Russell has determined that if he drives 3,000 miles in a month, his average operating cost is $0.55 per mile. If he drives 4,000 miles in a month, his average operating cost is $0.50 per mile. Russell has used the high-low method to determine that his monthly cost equation is total cost = $600 + $0.35 per mile.
Answer:
1. 1,500 miles
2. Profit
3.4,000 miles
Explanation:
1. Calculation to Determine how many miles Russell needs to drive to break even k-Even Miles
First step is to calculate the Unit contribution margin
Using this formula
Let plug in the formula
Unit contribution margin = Sales price – Variable cost per unit
Unit contribution margin= $0.75 per mile – $0.35 per mile
Unit contribution margin= $0.40 per mile
Now let determine the Break-even units using this formula
Break-even units = Total fixed cost / Unit contribution margin
Let plug in the formula
Break-even units= $600 / $0.40
Break-even units= 1,500 miles
Therefore how many miles Russell needs to drive to break even k-Even Miles will be 1,500 miles
2. Calculation to determine whether he earned a profit or a loss last month Assume Russell drove 1,800 miles last month
Profit=1,800 miles – 1,500 miles
Profit=300 miles
Therefore Assume Russell drove 1,800 miles last month he will EARNED A PROFIT last month
3. Calculation to determine how many miles Russell must drive to earn $1,000 in profit.
Using this formula
Target units = (Fixed cost + Target Profit) / Unit contribution margin
Let plug in the formula
Target units = ($600 + $1,000) / $0.40
Target units = 4,000 miles
Therefore how many miles Russell must drive to earn $1,000 in profit will be 4,000 miles

a. Develop a probability distribution for x
b. Compute the expected value of x
c. Compute the variance and standard deviation for x
d. Comment on what your results imply about wind conditions during boating accidents
a. Answer:The corresponding probabilities are obtained by converting the percentages into probabilities. That is, by dividing each value with 100.
F/N (where F =percentage of accidents and N =100)
Explanation:
X 0 1 2 3 4
f(X) 0.096 0.57 0.238 0.077 0.019
b. The formula for the expected value of a discrete random variable is E(x)= µ=∑xf(x)
X F(X) X.f(X)
0 0.096 0
1 0.57 0.57
2 0.238 0.476
3 0.077 0.231
4 0.019 0.076
Total 1 1.353
Hence, the value for expected value of X is 1.353
The formula for the variance of the discrete random variables is Var(x)= σ² =∑(x-µ)²f(x)
X F(X) (x-µ) (x-µ)² (x-µ)².f(x)
0 0.096 -1.353 1.8306 0.1757
1 0.57 -0.353 0.1246 0.0710
2 0.238 0.647 0.4186 0.0996
3 0.077 1.647 2.7126 0.2089
4 0.019 2.647 7.0066 0.1331
Total 1 3.235 12.0930 0.6884
Hence, the variance of the random variable x is 0.6884
The formula for the standard deviation of the discrete random variables is
σ=√(∑[(x-µ)².f(x)] )
Thus, the standard deviation is σ= √0.6884
=0.8297
Hence, the standard deviation of the random variable x is 0.8297
