Suppose that a haircut will give Dawn 2,000 units of utility and cost her $40, whereas a set of acrylic nails costs $25 and yields 1,000 units of util. Most likely Dawn should:_____.
A. be indifferent between the two choices.
B. choose the haircut because she will receive 50 units of utility per dollar as compared with 45 units of utility per dollar for the nails.
C. choose the haircut because each unit of utility will cost her 2 cents as compared with 2.5 cents for the nails.
D. choose the nails because she will obtain 50 units of utility per dollar as compared with 40 units of utility per dollar for the haircut.
Answer:
b
Explanation:
Marginal utility is the additional utility derived from consuming one more unit of a good
the consumption decision is to consume more units of a good that gives the higher utility per good.
Marginal utility per unit of good = marginal utility / price of the good
haircut = 2000 / 40 = 50
Nails = 1000 /25 = 40
the utility per unit for haircut is greater for haircut than nails, so he would choose haircut
When marginal utility is positive, it means that increasing consumption by one unit increases total utility
When marginal utility is negative, it means that increasing consumption by one unit decreases total utility
When marginal utility is zero, total utility has reached its maximum and no more units of goods would be consumed
If there is a shortage in the market, the market price is too _______________. The quantity demanded will be ________________ the quantity supplied. Thus, the market price must ____________ , which will _____________ the quantity supplied and ____________ the quantity demanded.
Answer:
low
greater
increase
increase
decrease
Explanation:
Equilibrium price is the price at which quantity demand equal quantity supplied. Above equilibrium price there is a surplus - quantity supplied exceeds quantity demanded.
Below equilibrium price there is a shortage - quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied
When there is a shortage in the market, the market price is too low. As a result, quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied. Shortage would lead to an increase in price towards equilibrium. This would lead to an increase in the quantity supplied and a decrease in quantity demanded
ng 40\%; \$4.400 A company is considering the purchase of a new machine for $ 63,000 . Management predicts that the machine can produce sales of $ 17,500 each year for the next 10 years . Expenses are expected to include direct materials , direct labor , and factory overhead totaling 6,500 per year including depreciation of per year . Income tax expense is per year based on a tax rate of What the payback period for the new machine
Answer:
3 years and 8 months
Explanation:
The payback period is the length of time that it takes for the cashflow of a project to equal the initial investment of the project.
Initial investment = $ 63,000
Cash flow :
Sales $ 17,500
Less Expenses ($6,500)
Add Depreciation ($ 63,000 ÷ 10) $6,300
Annual Cash flow $17,300
thus,
It takes 3 years and 8 months ($11,100/$17,300 x 12) for the cashflow of a project to equal the initial investment for the new machine.

= 6,000 machine hours
b. The applied manufacturing overhead is
= 5,900 × $10.10
= $59,590
c. The overhead should be
= $60,600 - $59,590
= $1,010 underapplied
In this way each and every part should be determined

Markung's Co. is 100% equity-financed company (no debt or preferred stock); hence, its WACC equals it cost of common equality. Markung's Co.'s retained earnings will be sufficient to fund its capital budget in the foreseeable future. The company has a beta of 1.50, the risk-free rate is 5.0%, and the market return is 6.5%. What is Markung's Co.'s cost of equity?
Markung's Co. is financed exclusively using equity funding and has a cost of equity of 12.55%. It is considering the following projects for investment next year:
Project Required Investment Expected rate of return
W $22,450 13.10%
X $12,750 10.10%
Y $19,235 13.60%
Z $17,875 14.60%
Each Project has average risk, and Markung’s Co. accepts any project whose expected rate of return exceeds its cost of capital. How large should next year’s capital budget be?
Answer:
Markung Cost of Equity:
For this you should use the Capital Asset Pricing Model:
Cost of equity = Risk free rate + Beta * (Market return - Risk free rate)
= 5% + 1.50 * (6.5% - 5%)
= 7.25%
Total capital budget:
They will only pick projects with a rate of return that is higher than 12.55%:
= Project W + Project Y + Project Z
= 22,450 + 19,235 + 17,875
= $59,560
1. Sharon, a newly engaged woman, saw an advertisement in a bridal magazine for a beautiful pearl necklace priced at $69.99 from Precious Jewelry. She thought the necklace would be a wonderful present for her bridesmaids, so she ordered 5 necklaces from Precious Jewelry. After a few weeks, Sharon received a letter, along with her returned check from Precious Jewelry. The letter stated that the jeweler was sorry they could not fill her order because they had been overwhelmed with so many requests that their supply of necklaces ran out very quickly
Question Completion:
a. List the 3 elements of an offer and describe each (in your own words).
b. Did Precious Jewelry make an offer when they placed the ad in the magazine? Did Sharon make an offer when she placed the order? Why or why not?
c. What will be the likely outcome if Sharon sues Precious Jewelry to force them to fill her order? Explain your answer.
Answer:
a. The three elements of a valid offer are Communication, Commitment, and Definite Terms. Communication of an offer should be between the offeror and the offeree and not with the general public. Commitment in an offer requires that the two parties are identified and are committed to the exchange of offer and acceptance. Definite terms means that the terms of the offer must be clear and well-understood by the involved parties.
b. Precious Jewelry did not make an offer when it placed the ad in the magazine. The ad was an invitation to offer. Sharon was the party that made the offer when she ordered for the jewelries. It was then left for Precious Jewelry to accept or reject the offer.
c. If Sharon sues Precious Jewelry to force them to fill her order, she does not have the locus standi because there is no basis for the existence of a contract between Sharon and Precious Jewelry since Sharon's offer was not accepted by Precious Jewelry and there was no consideration.
Explanation:
For a valid contract to exist between Sharon and Precious Jewelry, the five elements of a contract must be present. They include valid offer, acceptance, mutual consent (or assent), consideration, and legality (including capacity).

On December 31, there were 53 units remaining in ending inventory. These 53 units consisted of 9 from January, 10 from February, 14 from May, 8 from September, and 12 from November. Using the specific identification method, what is the cost of the ending inventory
Answer:
Cost of the ending inventory = $7,108
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
A company had the following purchases during the current year:
January 17 Units at $112
February 37 Units at $123
May 32 Units at $135
September 29 Units at $143
November 27 Units at $153
On December 31, there were 53 units remaining in ending inventory. These 53 units consisted of 9 from January, 10 from February, 14 from May, 8 from September, and 12 from November. Using the specific identification method, what is the cost of the ending inventory?
Explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
Specific identification method is an inventory method under which costs of goods sold and the closing/ending inventory are calculated using the particular cost of each inventory batch at the moment they were received.
Therefore, cost of the ending inventory is calculated as sum of the product of the number of closing units from each month and the cost per unit of purchases in that month.
Therefore, we have:
Cost of the ending inventory = (Number of closing units from January * Cost per unit of January Purchases) + (Number of closing units from February * Cost per unit of February Purchases) + (Number of closing units from May * Cost per unit of May Purchases) + (Number of closing units from September * Cost per unit of September Purchases) + (Number of closing units from November * Cost per unit of November Purchases) ………… (1)
Substituting the relevant values into equation (1), we have:
Cost of the ending inventory = (9 * $112) + (10 * $123) + (14 * $135) + (8 * $143) + (12 * $153) = $7,108
The quantity demanded of cereal increased from 1,350 to 1,700 when the price of milk decreased from $2.05 to $1.65. What is the estimated cross-price elasticity of demand for cereal
Answer:
-1.33
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 = percentage change in quantity demanded of good A / percentage change in price of good B
percentage change in quantity demanded of good = (1700/ 1350) - 1 = 0.259
percentage change in price = (1.65 / 2.05) - 1 = -0.195
0.259 / -0.195 = -1.33
Suppose the price level reflects the number of dollars needed to buy a basket of goods containing one cup of tea, one biscuit, and one magazine. In year one, the basket costs $7.00. In year two, the price of the same basket is $8.00. From year one to year two, there isinflation at an annual rate of_____________ . In year one, $42.00 will buy baskets, and in year two, $42.00 will buy baskets. This example illustrates that, as the price level rises, the value of money___________ .
Answer:
14.3%
6 baskets
5.25
Falls
Explanation:
Inflation is a persistent rise in the general price levels
Types of inflation
1. demand pull inflation – this occurs when demand exceeds supply. When demand exceeds supply, prices rise
2. cost push inflation – this occurs when the cost of production increases. This leads to a reduction in supply. Higher prices are the resultant effect
Costs of inflation
Shoe leather cost is when people try to spend money immediately so they would not be holding money for a long time. This is because money loses its value in an inflation.
Menu costs are the costs of changing price constantly as a result of inflation, When there is inflation, prices increases regularly. As a result prices needs to be updated regularly.
Annual rate of inflation = (0.08/0.07) - 1 = 0.143 = 14.3%
Baskets that can be bought in year 1 = 42 / 7 = 6
Baskets that can be bought in year 2 = 42 / 8 = 5.25
$42 buys less basket of goods in year 2. It means that the value of money has declined
Delta Screen Corporation is currently operating at 60% of capacity and producing 6,000 screens annually. The normal selling price is $750 per screen. They recently received an offer from a company in Germany to purchase 2,000 screens for $500 per unit. Delta has not previously sold products in Germany. Budgeted production costs for 6,000 and 8,000 screens follow:Units Produced 6,000 8,000 Direct Materials Cost $ 750,000 $ 1,000,000Direct Labor Cost 750,000 1,000,000Variable Overhead 900,000 1,200,000 Fixed Overhead 1,200,000 1,200,00 Total Cost 3,600,000 4,400,000Full Cost per Unit 600 550Delta’s marketing manager believes that although the price offered by the German customer is lower than current price, the order should be accepted to gain a foothold in the German market. The production manager, however, believes that the order should be rejected because the unit cost is higher than the price offered.If the president of Delta were to call on you to resolve the difference in opinion, what would you recommend? Explain.What is the minimum price for the special order if Delta is operating at full capacity?
Answer:
a. I would recommend the the special order should be accepted.
b. The minimum price for the special order is the current selling price of $750.
Explanation:
a. If the president of Delta were to call on you to resolve the difference in opinion, what would you recommend?
Because the existing data's format and findings are deceiving, I would suggest to the president to let us perform a differential analysis before making a recommendation.
Note: See the attached excel file for a analysis of accepting the order.
In the attached excel file, the following calculation is done:
Special order revenue = Difference revenue = Units of special order * Special order price per unit = 2,000 * $500 = $1,000,000
Revenue with the special order = Revenue without the special order + Special order revenue = $4,500,000 + $1,000,000 = $4,500,000
From the differential analysis in the attached excel, it can be observed that accepting the order will increase profit by $200,000.
Therefore, I would recommend the the special order should be accepted.
b. What is the minimum price for the special order if Delta is operating at full capacity?
Since other sales opportunities has be forgone if the special order is accepted if Delta is operating at full capacity, the minimum price for the special order must be or is the current selling price of $750.

Assuming that Gantner Company uses the FIFO Cost Method, the total number of equivalent units for materials during May can be determined as follows :
To Complete Opening Work in Process (60000 x 40%) 24,000
Completed and transferred out (180000 - 60,000) x 100% 120,000
Ending Work In Process (50000 x 40%) 20,000
Total equivalent units for materials 164,000
Your friend was injured in an accident, and the insurance company has offered him the choice of $25,000 per year for 15 years, with the first payment being made today, or a lump sum. If a fair return is 7.5%, how large must the lump sum be to leave him as well off financially as with the annuity
Answer:
PV=$237,228.84
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Annual payment= $25,000
Number of periods= 15 years
Interest rate= 7.5%
To calculate the value of the payments today (PV), we need to use the following formula:
PV= A*{(1/i) - 1/[i*(1 + i)^n]} * (1+i)
PV= 25,000*{(1/0.075) - 1/ [0.075*(1.075^15)]} * 1.075
PV=$237,228.84

Rocky Guide Service provides guided 1–5 day hiking tours throughout the Rocky Mountains. Wilderness Tours hires Rocky to lead various tours that Wilderness sells. Rocky receives $1,600 per tour day, and shortly after the end of each month Rocky learns whether it will receive a $160 bonus per tour day it guided during the previous month if its service during that month received an average evaluation of "excellent" by Wilderness customers. The $1,600 per day and any bonus due are paid in one lump payment shortly after the end of each month.
On July 1, based on prior experience, Rocky estimated there is a 40% chance it will earn the bonus for July tours. It guided a total of 10 days from July 1–July 15.
On July 16, based on Rocky’s view that it had provided excellent service during the first part of the month, Rocky revised its estimate to an 90% chance it would earn the bonus for July tours. Rocky also guided customers for 15 days from July 16–July 31.
On August 5 Rocky learned it did not receive an average evaluation of "excellent" for its July tours, so it would not receive any bonus for July, and received all payment due for the July tours.
Rocky bases estimates of variable consideration on the expected value it expects to receive.
Required:
Prepare the journal entries to record the transactions above.
Answer:
Please find the complete question in the attached file.
Explanation:
Rocky believed there would be a [tex]30\%[/tex] possibility of a July bonus for touring, i.e [tex]< 50\%[/tex], from July 1-July 15 (10 days)-. Therefore no bonus can be calculated as [tex]\$2,400[/tex] / day trip \times 10 days =[tex]\$2,400[/tex] throughout this duration.
The expected 15-day revenues from 16th July – 31st July may well be calculated as [tex]\$2,400 \times 15 \ days = \$36.000.[/tex] Rocky calculated that it would get the bonus [tex]80\%[/tex] of the time. Estimates a [tex]\$240/day\ bonus \times (10\ days + 15\ days) = \$6,000[/tex]
