Answer: d. have an unpredictable effect on inflation.
Explanation:
Changes in money supply affect inflation with an increase in money supply causing inflation to rise and a decrease calling inflation to fall. Real GDP is supposed to be independent of the money supply as it is not meant to be affected by inflation.
If a situation arises where real GDP is not actually independent of the money supply then that means that it is not independent of inflation either. Should the money supply therefore rise, the effect on the prices of goods and services (real GDP) in the economy will be unpredictable as it might go either way.
International Data Systems' information on revenue and costs is relevant only up to a sales volume of 121,000 units. After 121,000 units, the market becomes saturated and the price per unit falls from $10.00 to $6.80. Also, there are cost overruns at a production volume of over 121,000 units, and variable cost per unit goes up from $5.00 to $5.25. Fixed costs remain the same at $71,000.
Required:
a. Compute operating income at 121,000 units.
b. Compute operating income at 221,000 units.
Answer:
a. $534,000
b. $271,550
Explanation:
a. Compute operating income at 121,000 units
Using this formula
Operating Income = (Price per unit - Variable cost per unit)*Units - Fixed costs
Let plug in the formula
Operating Income = ($10.00 - $5.00)*121,000 - $71,000
Operating Income = ($5.00)*121,000 - $71,000
Operating Income =$605,000-$71,000
Operating Income = $534,000
Therefore operating income at 121,000 units is $534,000
b. Compute operating income at 221,000 units
Using this formula
Operating Income = (Price per unit - Variable cost per unit)*Units - Fixed costs
Let plug in the formula
Operating Income = ($6.80 - $5.25)*221,000 - $71,000
Operating Income = $1.55*221,000-$71,000
Operating Income = $342,550-$71,000
Operating Income = $271,550
Therefore operating income at 121,000 units at 221,000 units is $271,550

Heath loves candy bars and gummy bears. After using his entire $30 budget at the local supermarket he finds that the marginal utility from the last candy bar he consumed was 30 and the last bag of gummy bears was 60. Assuming he has maximized his utility, what could be true about the prices of gummy bears and candy bars?
Answer:
Bag of gummy bears must cost twice as that of candy bar.
Explanation:
The cost of candy bar should be less than gummy bear because marginal utility of candy bar is lower than gummy bear. The candy bar will be consumed more therefore its price should be lower. When the price of good will be lower, it will be consumed more.
A company estimates that the appropriate discount rate (i.e., the cost of capital) for Project A, Project B, Project C and Project D described below is 10 percent. Assuming that the projects are independent, which project(s) should the company accept?
a. Project A requires an up-front expenditure of $1,000,000 and generates a net present value of $3,200.
b. Project B has an internal rate of return of 9.5 percent.
c. Project C requires an up-front expenditure of $1,000,000 and has a profitability index of 0.85
d. Project D requires an up-front expenditure of $200,000 and generates a net present value of negative $200
e. None of the projects above should be accepted.
Answer:
a. Project A requires an up-front expenditure of $1,000,000 and generates a net present value of $3,200.
Explanation:
a.
The company should accept project A because it provides a positive net present value of $3,200 that is the highest among all the projects.
b.
When the IRR of a project is lower than the required rate of return of the project, it will generate the negative net present value because at IRR the net present value of the project will be zero and at a higher rate than IRR it will be negative.
c.
The project with a profitability index of less than 1 generates a negative NPV because the present value of future cash flows is less than the initial cash outflow.
d.
Project D also generates a positive net present value but it is lower than project A. So, after comparing the results we will choose the project with higher NPV.
You are considering buying bonds in ACBB, Inc. The bonds have a par value of $1,000 and mature in 35 years. The annual coupon rate is 20.0% and the coupon payments are annual. If you believe that the appropriate discount rate for the bonds is 17.0%, what is the value of the bonds to you
Answer:
Bond Price= $121.27
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Face value= $1,000
Coupon= 0.2*1,000= $20
Maturity= 35 years
Discount rate= 17%
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to use the following formula:
Bond Price= cupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]
Bond Price= 20*{[1 - (1.17^-35)] / 0.17} + [1,000/(1.17^35)]
Bond Price= 117.16 + 4.11
Bond Price= $121.27

Economic life of equipment: 5 years. Implicit interest rate and lessee's incremental borrowing rate: 9% semiannually. Fair value of the computers at January 1, 2021: $23 million. What is the interest revenue that Technoid would report for this lease in its 2021 income statement
Answer:
$3,411,922.19
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the interest revenue that Technoid would report for this lease in its 2021 income statement
First step is calculate interest for the first six months
Interest for the first six months=[$23,000,000-lease payment of 3,287,947) × 9%]
Interest for the first six months=$19,712,053×9%
Interest for the first six months=$1,774,084.77
Interest for the first six months=$1,774,085 (Approximately)
Second step is to calculate the interest for the second six months
Interest for the second six months=[$23,000,000 - lease payment of 3,287,947 - ($3,287,947 - $1,774,085)] × 9%
Interest for the second six months=($19,712,053-$1,513,862)×9%
Interest for the second six months=$18,198,191×9%
Interest for the second six months=$1,637,837.19
Now let determie the interest revenue using this formula
Interest revenue=Interest for the first six months+Interest for the second six months
Let plug in the formula
Interest revenue=$1,774,085+$1,637,837.19
Interest revenue=$3,411,922.19
Therefore the interest revenue that Technoid would report for this lease in its 2021 income statement is $3,411,922.19.
San Antonio Chair Inc. has direct labor cost standard of $14 per direct labor hour and an efficiency standard of 6 hours per chair. The actual results for the period when 30 chairs were built were 130 direct labor hours at an actual cost of $1,560. What is the direct labor cost variance
Answer:
Total direct labor variance= $960 favorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
We will separate the direct labor cost variance in rate and quantity variance. To calculate the direct labor rate and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (30*6 - 130)*14
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $700 favorable
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (14 - 12)*130
Direct labor rate variance= $260 favorable
Actual rate= 1,560/130= $12
Total direct labor variance= 700 + 260
Total direct labor variance= $960 favorable

8. Based on the data given (1 - 6), would you recommend accepting the proposal?
In favor of the proposal because of the possibility of increasing income from operations.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Sales units = 1,000,000
Selling price = $188
Total
Sales $188,000,000
Cost of goods sold (100,000,000)
Variable cost of goods sold = $70,000,000
Fixed cost of goods sold = $30,000,000
Gross profit $88,000,000
Expenses:
Selling expenses $16,000,000
Variable selling expenses $12,000,000
Fixed selling expense = $4,000,000
Administrative expenses 12,000,000
Variable administrative expenses = $6,000,000
Fixed administrative expenses = $6,000,000
Total expenses (28,000,000)
Operating income $60,000,000
The division of costs between variable and fixed is as follows:
Variable Fixed
Cost of goods sold 70% 30%
Selling expenses 75% 25%
Administrative expenses 50% 50%
Total Unit Cost
Variable cost of goods sold = $70,000,000 $70
Variable selling expenses 12,000,000 12
Variable administrative expenses 6,000,000 6
Total variable costs = $88,000,000 $88
Contribution margin = $100 ($188 - $88)
Fixed cost of goods sold = $30,000,000
Fixed selling expense = 4,000,000
Fixed administrative expenses = 6,000,000
Total fixed costs = $40,000,000
Break-even sales units = $40,000,000/$100 = 400,000 units
Proposal:
Sales revenue increase = $11,280,000
Fixed costs by $5,000,000 to $45,000,000 ($40 million + $5 million)
Sales units increase = 60,000 ($11,280,000/$188)
Break-even sales units = 450,000 ($45,000,000/$100)
Units to realize target profit of $60,000,000:
= ($45,000,000 + $60,000,000)/$100
= $105,000,000/$100
= 1,050,000,000 units
Profit with the expanded plan
= Total contribution - Fixed Costs
= $100 * 1,060,000 - $45,000,000
= $106,000,000 - $45,000,000
= $61,000,000
With sales at current level of 1,000,000 units
Sales revenue = $188,000,000
Variable costs 88,000,000
Contribution $100,000,000
Fixed costs 45,000,000
Operating income $55,000,000
How does the devaluation and appreciation of the local currency effect to balance of payment, analyze for each component
Answer: Balance of payment will worsen due to devaluation.
Explanation: The balance of payments refers to the balance of supply and demand for a country's currency in the foreign exchange market. Devaluation will make local currency weaker and foreign currency stronger. Therefore less demand for local currency in the foreign market. The imports will become expensive, more amount of local currency will be paid as it is weaker. The exports will become cheaper, more amount of local currency will be received as foreign currency is stronger than it.
Vise Versa for appreciation.

Solving for PMT of an annuity) To pay for your child's education, you wish to have accumulated $ at the end of years. To do this you plan on depositing an equal amount into the bank at the end of each year. If the bank is willing to pay percent compounded annually, how much must you deposit each year to reach your goal?
Answer:
$783.87
Explanation:
Complete question "To pay for your child's education, you wish to have accumulated $10,000 at the end of 8 years. To dothis, you plan to deposit an equal amount into the bank at the end of each year. If the bank is willing to pay 13 percent compoundedannually, how much must you deposit each year to obtain yourgoal?"
NPER = 8
FV = 10,000
Rate = 13%
PV = 0
Future Value of Annuity = PMT(Rate, NPER, PV, FV)
Future Value of Annuity = PMT(13%, 8, 10000, 0)
Future Value of Annuity = 783.8671964727014
Future Value of Annuity = $783.87
So, one must deposit $783.87 each year to reach the goal.
A manager spent 5 hours of his day in meetings. If he said that he spent 70% of his day, how many total hours did he work?
Answer:
The total hours the manager worked
= 7.14 hours
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Time spent by a manager in meetings per day = 5 hours
Percentage of time spent in meetings = 70%
Total hours the manager worked per day = 5/70% = 7.14 hours
b) The total hours that the manager worked per day = 7.14 hours or 7 hours 9 minutes (approximately). This is obtained by dividing the hours spent in meetings by the equivalent proportion that meetings consumed per day.
Allocative efficiency occurs:
a. Anywhere inside or on the production possibilities frontier.
b. When the total cost of production is minimized
c. At all points on the production possibilities frontier.
d. At only one point on the production possibilities frontier.
e. At the points where the production possibilities frontier crosses the horizontal or vertical axis.
Answer:
a. Anywhere inside or on the production possibilities frontier.
Explanation:
In an economy, the allocative efficiency may be defined as the economic state where the production of various goods or services is aligned with the preferences with the consumers.
The allocative efficiency always materializes at the intersection of the supply curves and the demand curves.
On the [tex]\text{equilibrium point,}[/tex] the price for a supply [tex]\text{exactly matches}[/tex] with the demand for the product [tex]\text{for that supply}[/tex] at that price, and thus all the products are sold.
It occurs anywhere on the production possibilities frontier or on the inside of the frontier.
Therefore, the correct option is (a).
What is a market that runs most efficiently when one large firm supplies all of the output referred to as?
a government monopoly
a natural monopoly
a franchise
market power
(Gradpoint)
Answer:
a natural monopoly
Explanation:
A monopoly is a market structure which is typically characterized by a single-seller (one seller) who sells a unique product in the market by dominance. This ultimately implies that, it is a market structure wherein the seller has no competitor because he is solely responsible for the sale of unique products without close substitutes.
A monopolist refers to any individual that deals with the sales of unique products in a monopolistic market.
On a related note, a natural monopoly is a market that runs most efficiently when all of the output is supplied by one large business firm. Thus, a business firm is considered to be a natural monopoly if it's capable of producing the total output of the market at a lower cost than two or more business firms could.
Some examples of natural monopoly are the United States Postal Service, electricity grid, water supply, gas network, sewer services, energy distributors, railway service, etc.
On-Time Delivery Company acquired an adjacent lot to construct a new warehouse, paying $31,000 in cash and giving a short-term note for $278,000. Legal fees paid were $2,220, delinquent taxes assumed were $15,700, and fees paid to remove an old building from the land were $20,800. Materials salvaged from the demolition of the building were sold for $4,600. A contractor was paid $939,400 to construct a new warehouse. Determine the cost of the land to be reported on the balance sheet.
Answer:
the cost of the land that should be reported on the balance sheet is $343,120
Explanation:
The calculation of the cost of the land that should be reported on the balance sheet is given below:
= cash payment + Short term note payable + legal fees paid + delinquent taxes + fees paid for removing out the old building - salvage value
= $31,000 + $278,000 + $2,220 + $15,700 + $20,800 - $4,600
= $343,120
hence, the cost of the land that should be reported on the balance sheet is $343,120

Which of the following statements accurately describe the effect of the increase in government borrowing?
a. National saving decreases by less than $20 billion.
b. Investment increases by less than $20 billion.
c. Public saving decreases by exactly $20 billion.
d. Private saving increases by less than $20 billion.
Answer:
d. Private saving increases by less than $20 billion.
Explanation:
Because the interest rate has increased, investment and national saving decline and private saving increases. The increase in government borrowing reduces public saving. From the figure you can see that total loanable funds (and thus both investment and national saving) decline by less than $20 billion, while public saving declines by $20 billion and private saving rises by less than $20 billion.
quizlet
Historical demand for a product is: DEMAND January 13 February 12 March 16 April 13 May 17 June 16 a. Using a weighted moving average with weights of 0.50 (June), 0.30 (May), and 0.20 (April), find the July forecast
Answer: 15.7 units
Explanation:
July forecast = (Weight of June * Demand in June) + (Weight of May * Demand in May) + (Weight of April * Demand in April)
= (0.5 * 16) + (0.3 * 17) + (0.2 * 13)
= 8 + 5.1 + 2.6
= 15.7 units
Flapjack Corporation had 7,736 actual direct labor hours at an actual rate of $12.10 per hour. Original production had been budgeted for 1,100 units, but only 961 units were actually produced. Labor standards were 7.8 hours per completed unit at a standard rate of $13.21 per hour. The direct labor rate variance is:______.
Answer: $8,586.96 Favorable
Explanation:
Direct Labor Rate Variance = Actual Cost - Standard Cost of Actual Hours
Actual cost = Actual direct labor hours * Actual rate
= 7,736 * 12.10
= $93,605.60
Standard cost of actual hours = Actual hours * Standard cost
= 7,736 * 13.21
= $102,192.56
Direct labor rate variance:
= 93,605.60 - 102,192.56
= $8,586.96 Favorable
Favorable because actual cost was less than the budgeted standard cost.
The total factory overhead for Norton Company is budgeted for the year at $300,000, divided into three activities: assembly, $200,000; setup, $50,000; and materials handling, $150,000. Norton manufactures two products: Product A and Product B. The activity-based usage quantities for each product by each activity are estimated as follows:
Assembly Setup Materials Handling
Product A 5,000 dlh 60,setups 25 moves
Product B 15,000 dlh 110 setups 250 moves
Total activity- 20,000 dlh 170setups 275 moves
base usage
Determine the activity rate for the set up activity.
a. $166 per setup
b. $294 per setup
c. $1,764 per setup
d. $118 per setup
Answer:
b. $294 per setup
Explanation:
The computation of the activity rate for the setup activity is given below:
Activity Rate is
= Total Activity Cost ÷ Cost Driver
Activity Rate for Setup Activity is
= $50,000 ÷ 170
= $294 per Setup
hence, the activity rate for the setup activity is $294
Therefore the option b is correct
