true or false: a supply curve describes how much a producer of services are willing to sell at different prices

Answer:

5 fishermen will choose to operate their boats as each of them will earn a profit of $150

Explanation:

Per boat operating cost = $500 per month.

Price of fish = $5 per pound.

There are 5 fishermen and each fishermen has 1 boat.

For 1 boat

Total revenue = Price * quantity = $5 * 200 = $1,000

Cost = $500

Profit = Total revenue - Cost = 1000 - 500

Profit = $500.

For 2 boats

Total Revenue of each boat = $5 * 190 = $950

Cost of each boat = $500

Profit of each boat = Total revenue - Cost = 950 - 500

Profit of each boat = $450.

For 3 boats

Total Revenue of each boat = 5 * 175 = $875

Cost of each boat = $500

Profit of each boat = TR - Cost = 875 - 500

Profit of each boat = $375

For 4 boats

Total Revenue of each boat = 5 * 155 = $775

Cost of each boat = $500

Profit of each boat = TR - Cost = 775 - 500

Profit of each boat = $275

For 5 boats

Total Revenue of each boat = 5 * 130 = $650

Cost of each boat = $500

Profit of each boat = TR - Cost = 650 - 500

Profit of each boat = $150.

Conclusion: As there are 5 fishermen and if all of them out on the river at the same time then each fisherman earns profit of $150. As all fishermen earns profit hence all of them will choose to operate their boats. Therefore, 5 fishermen will be ready to operate their boats.

Some information was missing, so i looked it up:

State of               Prob. of the state          Sunglasses            Umbrella

the economy      of the economy             Company               Corporation

Sunny                          .50                              25%                          0%

Rainy                           .50                               0%                          25%

expected returns:

Sunglasses Company = 0.5 x 25% = 12.5%

Umbrella Corporation = 0.5 x 25% = 12.5%,

so the expected return of the portfolio = (12.5% x 0.50) + (12.5% x 0.50) = 12.5%

standard deviation:

Sunglasses Company = √{[(0% - 12.5%)² + (25% - 12.5%)²] / 2} = √156.25 = 12.5%

Umbrella Corporation = √{[(0% - 12.5%)² + (25% - 12.5%)²] / 2} = √156.25 = 12.5%

so the standard deviation of the portfolio = 12.5%

Answer:

See the answer and explanation below

Explanation:

A price-taking firm is a firm in a perfectly competitive market where all firms are price takers. That is, no firm in a perfectly competitive can influence the price as only the market determines the price.

The short run supply curve for a price-taking firm refers to the short marginal cost (SMC) curve at and above the shutdown point.

Note: See the attached graph for the shut run supply curve. Also note that point E in the attached graph is the shutdown point.

The shutdown point is the point where the short run marginal cost (SMC) is equal to the average variable cost (AVC) (i.e. where MC = AVC = Shutdown point).

This indicates that the short-run supply curve for a price-taking firm is the part of the SMC curve that lies above AVC curve.

The part of the SMC curve that lies below the AVC or the shutdown point is not part of the short run supply curve of a price-taking firm, because the firm is not engaging in any production at that point.

Therefore, the short run supply curve of a price-taking firm is the increasing portion of the short run MC curve above the shutdown point.

This follows the law of supply which states that more quantity of the product of a firm will be supplied when there is a rise in the market price.

In summary, the short run supply curve of a price-taking firm is the positively-sloped portion of the short-run marginal cost curve

Answer:

Total department cost of 70,000 units = $856,500

Total department cost of 80,000 units = $940,000

Total department cost of 90,000 units = $1,024,500

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the flexible budget.

A flexible budget is a budget that changes, flexes or adjusts as the volume, activity or unit of production changes.

For this question, the direct labor cost for each unit can be calculated as follows:

Direct labor time per filing cabinet in minutes = 18

Number of minutes in one hour = 60

Direct labor rate per minute = Direct labor rate per hour / Number minutes in one hour = $28 / 60 = $0.466666666666667

Direct labor cost per filing cabinet = Direct labor time per filing cabinet in minutes * Direct labor rate per minute = 18 * $0.466666666666667 = $8.40

Direct labor cost of a particular units of production = Direct labor cost per filing cabinet * Number of units of production ................... (1)

Using equation (1), the Direct labor cost of different units of production used in the attached excel file is calculated as follows:

Direct labor cost of 70,000 units = $8.40 * 70,000 = $588,000

Direct labor cost of 80,000 units = $8.40 * 80,000 = $672,000

Direct labor cost of 90,000 units = $8.40 * 90,000 = $756,000

Explanation:

The aim of the business is to ideally make a profit. As a result, Additional business should only be accepted if the incremental cost of doing so is less than the incremental revenue accrued from doing so.

If incremental revenue equals incremental cost, there is no point in engaging in the additional business as it brings no extra value to the business.  

Answer:

1. This would increase the reserves account and increase the debt account.

Borrowing refers to debt and so it will increase the debt account.

2. This would also bring the leverage ratio from its initial value of 13.33 to a new value of 14.

The bank leverage ratio refers to its Assets divided by Capital (Owners equity).

Before the $100 was borrowed, the leverage ratio was;

= (Reserves + loans + securities)/Capital

= ( 200 + 800 + 1,000) / 150

= 13.33

After the $100 was borrowed

= ( 200 + 800 + 1,000 + 100) /150

= 14.

3. a. The higher the percentage of assets a bank holds as loans, the higher the capital requirement.

The capital requirement is meant to protect depositors in case the loans are defaulted on as the loans are created from the funds depositors bring in. Should the loans be defaulted on, they will be paid from the capital therefore if the bank holds more loans, it will have to hold more capital to ensure it can cover those loans.

Answer:

The balance in the accumulated depreciation account at the end of the second year is $146,000.

Explanation:

Straight line method charges a fixed depreciation charge on the asset during its period of use.

Depreciation Expense (Straight line) = Cost - Residual Amount ÷ Estimated Useful life

                                                             = $778,000 - $48,000 ÷ 10

                                                             = $73,000

Therefore, for each year, a depreciation expense of $73,000 is charged to profit an loss.

Accumulated Depreciation Calculation :

Depreciation Expense : Year 1     $73,000

Depreciation Expense : Year 2    $73,000

Total Expense                              $146,000

Answer:

Answer: 0.8; 5

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that people decide to save 20 percent of their incomes. We should note that the addition of the marginal prospensity to consume(MPC) and the marginal prospensity to save(MPS) will be equal to 1.

Therefore, the value of the marginal propensity to consume will be:

= 1 - 20%

= 1 - 0.2

= 0.8

The value of the spending multiplier will be calculated as:

= 1/MPS

= 1/0.2

= 5

Answer:

Projects Y and Z

b. Projects W and Z

c. Projects W and Y

Explanation:

CAPM equation : Expected return = Risk free rate + Beta x (Expected market return - Risk free rate)

W = 4% + [0.85 x (11% - 4%)] = 9.95%

X = 4% + (0.92 x 7%) = 10.44%

Y = 4% + (1.09 x 7%) = 11.63%

Z = 4% + (1.35 x 7%) = 13.45%

Projects Y and Z have an expected return greater than 11%

b. Projects W and Z should be accepted because its expected return is higher than the IRR

c. Project W would be incorrectly rejected because the expected rate of return is less than the overall cost of capital (i.e. 9.95 is less than 11). But its expected rate of return is greater than the IRR

Y would be incorrectly accepted because its expected rate of return is greater  than the overall cost of capital but its expected rate of return is less than the IRR

Answer:

Division A is doing better and his more profitable because it has a higher ROI than Division B

Explanation:

Return on Investment is the proportion of operating assets that an investment center earned as as net operating income.

ROI is measure of the returned earned by a division relative to the amount invested in the assets used to generate the return.

It is calculated as follows

ROI = operating income/operating assets

Division A

Net operating income = Sales - expenses

Net operating income = 200,000 - 150,000 = 50,000

Operating assets = 950,000

ROI = 50,000/950,000× 100 = 5.26 %

Division B

Net operating income = 45,000 - 35,000 = 10,000

Operating assets = 200,000

ROI = 10,000/ 200,000 × 100 = 5 %

Division A is doing better and his more profitable because it has a higher ROI than Division B

Answer:

b. The competitive pressures associated with rivalry among competing sellers in the industry for buyer patronage.

Explanation:

The Porter’s five forces of competition is a framework developed by Michael E. Porter in 1979, it is used to measure and analyze an organization's competitiveness in a business environment.

The Porter's five forces of competition framework are:

1. The bargaining power of suppliers.

2. The bargaining power of customers.

3. Threat posed by substitute products.

4. Threats posed by new entrants.

5. Threats posed by existing rivals in the industry.

The most powerful of the five competitive forces is usually the competitive pressures associated with rivalry among competing sellers in the industry for buyer patronage. When the amount of competitors (sellers), as well as the quantity of goods and services they provide are large, the lesser their competitive strengths or advantage in the market because the customers have a large pool of finished goods and services to choose from and vice-versa.

Answer:

Retained earning balance at the end would be = $205,000

Explanation:

Retained earnings at the end = Retained earning at the beginning + Net income - Dividend paid

The net income would increase the balance of the retained earnings hence it is added to it.

The Dividend paid would be a cash outflow which would reduce the balance of the retained earnings, hence it is deducted from it.

So applying this to the question, we have

Retained earning balance at the end would be:

25,000 + 200,000 - 20,000 = $205,000

Retained earning balance at the end would be = $205,000

January 1, 2018, bonds are issued at a discount:

Dr Cash 23,300

Dr Discount on bonds payable 6,700

    Cr Bonds payable 30,000

discount amortization = $6,700 / 16 coupons = $418.75 per coupon payment

First and second coupon payments:

June 30 (or December 31), 2018, coupon payments

Dr Interest expense 3,718.75

    Cr Cash 3,300

    Cr Discount on bonds payable 418.75

Carrying value June 30, 2018 = $23,300 + $418.75 = $23,718.75

Carrying value December 31, 2018 = $23,300 + $418.75 = $24,137.50

Answer:

C. Site B

Explanation:

A benefit-cost (B/C) method is a decision making techi=niques that uses benefit-cost ratio (BCR) to give a summary of overall relationship between the relative benefits and costs and a project being proposed.

To calculated the present values (PV) of Maintenance and Operations (M&O) Cost, Benefits and Disbenefits, we use cumulative discounting factor (CDF) for calculating the present value (PV) of an ordinary annuity as follows:

CDF = [{1 - [1 / (1 + r)]^n} / r] …………………………………. (1)

Where;

r = interest rate = 12%, or 0.12

n = number of years = 5

Substitute the values into equation (1), we have:

CDF = [{1 - [1 / (1 + 0.12)]^5} / 0.12] = 3.60

We can now calculate the B?C of each Site as follows as follows:

a. Calculation of B/C ratio of Site A

Initial cost = $55

PV of M&O Cost = M&O Cost per year * CDF = $3 * 3.60 = $10.80

PV of Benefits = Benefits per year * CDF =$20 * 3.60 = $72.00

PV of Disbenefits = Disbenefits per year * CDF = $0.5 * 3.60 = $1.80

PV of Total Cost = Initial cost + PV of M&O cost + PV of Disbenefits = $55 + $10.80 + $1.80 = $67.60

B/C ratio of Site A = PV of Benefits / PV of tota cost = $72.00 / $67.60 = 1.07

b. Calculation of B/C ratio of Site B

Initial cost = $70

PV of M&O Cost = M&O Cost per year * CDF = $4 * 3.60 = $14.40

PV of Benefits = Benefits per year * CDF =$29 * 3.60 = $104.40

PV of Disbenefits = Disbenefits per year * CDF = $2 * 3.60 = $7.20

PV of Total Cost = Initial cost + PV of M&O cost + PV of Disbenefits = $70 + $14.40 + $7.20 = $91.60

B/C ratio of Site A = PV of Benefits / PV of tota cost = $104.40 / $91.60 = 1.14

b. Calculation of B/C ratio of Site B

Initial cost = $200

PV of M&O Cost = M&O Cost per year * CDF = $6 * 3.60 = $21.60

PV of Benefits = Benefits per year * CDF =$55 * 3.60 = $198.00

PV of Disbenefits = Disbenefits per year * CDF = $2.1 * 3.60 = $7.56

PV of Total Cost = Initial cost + PV of M&O cost + PV of Disbenefits = $200 + $21.60 + $7.56 = $229.16

B/C ratio of Site A = PV of Benefits / PV of tota cost = $198.00 / $229.16 = 0.86

Conclusion

1. Since the B/C ratio of only Site A and Site B are greater than 1, both are acceptable.

2. But since Site B's B/C ratio of 1.14 is greater Site A's B/C ratio of 1.07, Site B is the most acceptable. Therefore, the correct option is C. Site B.

Answer:

Budgeted total cost of Direct Material purchases ($) =$ 157,800

Explanation:

Raw material purchase budget is determined by adjusting the raw material usage budget for opening and closing inventory of materials.

Purchase budget = usage budgeted + closing inventory - Opening inventory

Material purchase budget = 53,000 + 2,700 - 3,100= 52,600  pounds

Note the closing inventory represents the stock of materials needed to be kept, hence it will increase the purchase budget. So we added.

On the other hand hands, the opening inventory represented what already existed , hence we subtracted it as it will reduce what will be required.

Material purchase budget ($) = purchase budget in quantity × standard price per quantity

Material purchase budget = 52,600 × $3 = $ 157,800

Budgeted total cost of Direct Material purchases ($) =$ 157,800
