Answer:
45,600 units
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How many units were in ending work in process inventory at the end of the month
Using this formula
Units in ending work in process = Units in beginning work in process + Units started into production – Units transferred to the next department
Let plug in the formula
Units in ending work in process= 23,500 units + 216,000 units – 193,900 units
Units in ending work in process= 45,600 units
Therefore the number of units that were in ending work in process inventory at the end of the month is 45,600 units

Assume banks are required to hold reserves equal to 20 percent of deposits. Instructions: Enter your responses as a whole number. a. How much excess reserves does the bank hold
Answer: $100
Explanation:
If the reserve requirement is 20% then the required reserves being held by the company is:
= Total deposits * reserve requirement
= 8,000 * 20%
= $1,600
The reserves held by the company of $1,700 comprise of both the required reserves and the excess reserves. The excess reserves will therefore be calculated as:
Excess reserves = Reserves - Required reserves
= 1,700 - 1,600
= $100
Kamal made a scale drawing of a house. The scale of the drawing was 7 inches : 3 feet. A rug in the hallway is 6 feet long in real life. How long is the rug in the drawing?
Answer:
14 inches
Explanation:
Given that :
Scale drawing ; 7 inches = 3 feets ;
This means that 7 inches on the drawing equals 3 feets in real life
With this, we can calculate the length of scale drawing for 1 feet long object.
7 inches = 3 feets
x = 1 feet
Cross multiply :
3x = 7
x = 7/3 inches
Therefore, for a 6 feet long rug in real life, the length of drawing will be :
1 Feet = 7/3 inches
6 feets = (7/3 * 6) inches
(7/3 * 6) = 42 / 3 = 14 inches
L. Bowers and V. Lipscomb are partners in Elegant Event Consultants. Bowers and Lipscomb share income equally. M. Ortiz will be admitted to the partnership. Prior to the admission, equipment was revalued downward by $8,000. The capital balances of each partner are $96,000 and $40,000, respectively, prior to the revaluation.
a. Provide the journal entry for the asset revaluation.
b. Provide the journal entry for Ortiz’s admission under the following independent situations:
1. Ortiz purchased a 20% interest for $20,000.
2. Ortiz purchased a 30% interest for $60,000.
Answer: See attachment and explanation
Explanation:
1. Ortiz purchased a 20% interest for $20,000.
Total capital after the admission of the partner will be:
= ($96000 - $4000) + ($40000 - $4000) + $20000
= $92000 + $36000 + $20000
= $148000
The share of new partner in the capital structure will be:
= Total capital × Interest of new partner
= $148000 × 20%
= $29600
There'll be a deficiency in the profit which the existing partner contributes to and this will be:
= $29600 - $20000
= $9600
Then each partner shares =$9600/2 = $4800
2. Ortiz purchased a 30% interest for $60,000.
Total capital after the admission of the partner will be:
= ($96000 - $4000) + ($40000 - $4000) + $60000
= $92000 + $36000 + $60000
= $188000
The share of new partner in the capital structure will be:
= Total capital × Interest of new partner
= $188000 × 30%
= $56400
Since the share is less than the amount of $60000 bought in, the existing partner will be compensated in the amount of ($60000 - $56400) = $3600. Therefore each partner gets $3600/2 = $1800

Harvey quit his job at State University where he earned $45,000 a year. He figures his entrepreneurial talent or forgone entrepreneurial income to be $5,000 a year. To start the business, be cashed in $100,000 in bonds that earned 10% interest annually to buy a software company, Extreme Gaming. In the first year, the firm sold 11,000 units of software at $75 each. Of the $75, $55 goes for the costs of production, packaging, marketing, employee wages and benefits, and rent on a building.
Required:
What's the economic profit generated by Extreme Gaming in the first year?
Answer:
$160,000
Explanation:
Economic profit = accounting profit - implicit cost
Accounting profit= total revenue - explicit cost
Total revenue =price x quantity sold
total revenue = 75 x 11,000 = 825,000
Explicit cost includes the amount expended in running the business.
explicit cost = 55 x 11,000 = 605,000
Accounting profit = 825,000 - 605,000 = 220,000
Implicit cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives
Harvey's implicit costs = amount he would have earned in the university + income from entrepreneurial talent + interest income
Interest income = 0.1 x 100,000 = 10,000
10,000 + 45,000 + 5,000 = 60,000
Economic profit =220,000 - 60,000 = 160,000

b. $311,600
c. $319,200
d. $66,674
Answer:
b. $311,600
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what total contribution margin should be closest to:
Using this formula
Contribution margin per unit=Current contribution margin ÷ Current sales in units
Where,
Contribution margin per unit
=$319,200 ÷ 8,400
Contribution margin per unit= $38
Now let determine the total contribution margin
Total contribution margin= 8,200 × $38
Total contribution margin=$311,600
Therefore total contribution margin should be closest to:$311,600
The cost to produce was $20 per unit in 2019. During 2020, it has increased to $23 per unit. In 2020, Supplier Company has offered to supply for $18 per unit. For the make-or-buy decision:_____.a. incremental costs are $2 per unit.
b. differential costs are $7 per unit.
c. net relevant costs are $2 per unit.
d. incremental revenues are $7 per unit.
Answer: Differential cost is $5 per unit
Explanation:
Differential cost is the extra cost that the company would incur if they made the product themselves versus if they bought it from an outside supplier.
Differential cost is therefore:
= Cost to produce internally - Cost from supplier
= 23 - 18
= $5

B. Net income for merchandise company $1650
Net income for service company $15600
Explanation:
A.Compution for gross profit, the goods available for sale, and the cost of goods sold for the merchandiser.
a. Good Available For Sale
Using this formula
Good available fro sale = Beginning inventory + Net purchase
Let plug in the formula
Good available fro sale = $10,000 + $11,900
Good available fro sale = $21,900
b. COST OF GOODS SOLD
Using this formula
Cost of goods sold = Goods available for sale - Ending inventory
Let plug in the formula
Cost of goods sold= $21,900 - $6000 =
Cost of goods sold= $15,900
c. GROSS PROFIT
Using this formula
Gross profit= Sales - COGS
Let plug in the formula
Gross profit = $19,500 - $15,900
Gross profit= $3,600
b.Computation for net income
Net income for merchandise company = Gross profit - Expenses = $3,600 - $1,950 = $1,650
Net income for service company = Revenue - Expenses = $24,000 - $8,400 = $15,600
A monopolist desiring to increase its profit has just discovered that lowering its price and selling more output yielded the desired result. Profit increased. Based on this, one can conclude that the marginal cost of production is _____ the marginal revenue from production.
Answer:
Less than
Explanation:
The marginal cost of production is that change in the total production cost when an extra unit is produced. While the Marginal revenue from production is the additional profit realized from production due to the sale of an extra unit.
Generally, When, the marginal cost is less than the marginal revenue, the company's production is low and should increase its output to maximize profit.
A monopolist has to its price in order to sell due to marginal revenue not equalling to price, the monopolist maximizes profits by ensuring its marginal revenue and its marginal cost are the same. Producing when Price is greater than marginal cost makes a monopolist realize profits.
You wish to sell short 100 shares of XYZ corporation stock. If the last two transactions were at $34.10 followed by $34.15, you only can sell short on teh next transaction at a price of
Answer: b. 34.15 or higher
Explanation:
Short sales refer to the sale of borrowed stocks in anticipation that the stock price of the underlying stock will fall. This will then enable you to make a profit by buying the cheaper shares and giving it back to the entity you borrowed from thereby making a profit.
With short sales, the price is usually upward trending so will normally increase from the last price. As the last price here was $34.15, that would be the likely minimum for the next sale.
This means that the next sale will either be at a price of $34.15 or a price higher than that.

g A monopoly is a market that has Group of answer choices Only one buyer. Only one seller. Many sellers who sell differentiated products. Many sellers who sell identical products.
Answer:
Only one seller.
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.
Also, a monopolist refers to any individual that deals with the sales of unique products in a monopolistic market.
For example, a public power supply company is an example of a monopoly because it serve as the only source of power supply to the general public in a society.
A public power company refers to a company that provides power (electricity) utility to the general public of a society.
In conclusion, a monopoly is a market that has only one seller.
The model of aggregate demand and aggregate supply a. is a straightforward extension of the model of supply and demand for a particular market, in which substitution of resources between markets is highlighted. b. is different from the model of supply and demand for a particular market, in that we cannot focus on the substitution of resources between markets to explain aggregate relationships. c. is different from the model of supply and demand for a particular market, in that we have to separate real and nominal variables in the aggregate model. d. is a straightforward extension of the model of supply and demand for a particular market, in which the interaction between real and nominal variables is highlighted.

In order to split the cost in a way that ensures that everyone benefits, the cost could be divided up based on the benefits each roommate receives. The practical problem with this solution is that each roommates has an incentive to____the value of the movies to him. Suppose they agree in advance to choose the efficient number and to split the cost of the movies equally.
Answer:
See the five answers below.
Explanation:
The roommates are debating how many movies they should watch.
This is the constraint; given that they have to pay to rent each movie.
PART (A)
Since their dormitory room is the 'cinema', meaning that it's just going to be 4 of them and a private good that they'll pay for; then the showing of a movie is not a public good!
Public goods are those general utilities usually provided by governments, for their citizens; e.g. public defense, clean drinking water, good roads, etcetera.
PART (B)
Given the 'willingness to pay' constraint, we need to find the optimal number of movies they can watch. It costs $8 to rent a movie, no matter how interesting it is or how much satisfaction the viewers derive from it. So the cost of the 1st film = the cost of the 2nd film = the cost of the 3rd film = the cost of the 4th film = the cost of the 5th film.
To get the total amount they're willing to pay for all 5 movies, sum up!
(10+9+6+3) + (9+7+4+2) + (8+5+2+1) + (7+3+0+0) + (6+1+0+0)
KEY: This arrangement should remind you of the law of diminishing marginal utility. The more movies they watch in one sitting or over a weekend, the less satisfaction they derive from the intangible commodity. Hence, the less they are willing to pay for more of the commodity.
So the sum is 28 + 22 + 16 + 10 + 7 = 83
Now to get the number of movies they should rent if they wish to maximize their total spending, divide the total willingness to pay by the cost for a movie:
83/8 = 10.375
Rounding up to the nearest whole number or in reality, that's 10 movies.
PART (C)
Suppose the roommates choose to rent this optimal number of movies - which is higher than the intended number of movies - and then split the cost equally, what will each roommate pay?
Here, we will use the approximated value 10.
10movies x $8 = $80
Splitting the cost equally, divide by 4
$80 ÷ 4 = $20
This figure is just in obedience to the question's requirements which says the bill must be shared equally. In actual fact, some of the four roommates don't have a purchasing power or willingness that is up to $20! That's Felix and Larry.
PART (D)
Complete the given table by inputing each roommate's total willingness to pay for the 5 movies and the surplus each person obtains from watching the movies. Remember to assume that Van is the same person as Raphael.
Also, total cost for 5 movies is 8 x 5 = $40
Dividing this by 4, you have $10 per roommate. So a surplus would be the excess of each roommate's TWTP over $10.
TWTP($) CS($)
VAN 40 30
CARLOS 25 15
FELIX 12 2
LARRY 6 -4
PART (E)
If the cost is divided up based on the benefits (remember how the price for movie was static despite the movie and satisfaction received by each viewer? That's about to change) or satisfaction each roommate receives, the practical problem with this 'solution' is that each roommate has an incentive to reduce the value of the movies to him; and this can only be measured by the efficient number (the number that rates the value each roommate derives from each movie). In this case, the incentive is the window given to each roommate to 'not tell the truth' about their level of satisfaction from watching each movie, because that would mean a higher bill for the individual.

Tomlinson Packaging Corporation began business in 2018 by issuing 30,000 shares of $5 par common stock for $8 per share and 5,000 shares of 6%, $10 par preferred stock for par. At year end, the common stock had a market value of $10. On its December 31, 2019 balance sheet, Tomlinson Packaging would report:___________
a. Common Stock of $100,000
b. Paid-In Capital of $150,000
c. Common Stock of $200,000
d. Common Stock of $160,000
Answer:
d. common stock of $150,000.
Explanation:
First and foremost, upon issuance of stocks, the common stock account would be credited with the total par value of the shares issued as shown below:
total par value=par value per share*shares issued
total par value=$5*30,000
total par value=$150,000
The paid-in capital would be credited with the total amount the cash proceeds from the share issue exceeds the total par value
total cash proceeds=$8*30,000
total cash proceeds=$240,000
paid-in capital=$240,000-$150,000
paid-in capital=$90,000
The correct option is the common stock of $150,00, except that the number of shares issued is 20,000,hence, the common stock of $100,000 would be correct

= (Nominal GDP / Real GDP) × 100
Let's assume that the nominal GDP and the real GDP is $100 million. Then if they drop by 10%, they will both be $90 million, then the deflator will be:
= (90m / 90m) × 100
= 100
Therefore, the GDP deflator will be unchanged.
