Answer:
"A wolf in sheep's clothing" refers to a situation where something that in first glance seems to be good or helpful, ends being bad.
Dutch disease refers to the pernicious effects caused by a significant increase in a country's foreign exchange earnings.
For example, suppose that there is good news like the finding of a lot of a given resource (like gold). Now, if the country's economy depends largely on the trade of gold, the news that a large reserve of gold has been found will likely decrease the price of gold, affecting in this way the economics of that country.
Then, something that at first glance looked nice (finding large quantities of the resource) ended being harmful to the country's economics.
This why there is a parallelism between the Dutch disease and the phrase "a wolf in sheep's clothing"
Western Electric has 28,000 shares of common stock outstanding at a price per share of $71 and a rate of return of 13.40 percent. The firm has 6,900 shares of 7.00 percent preferred stock outstanding at a price of $91.00 per share. The preferred stock has a par value of $100. The outstanding debt has a total face value of $380,000 and currently sells for 107 percent of face. The yield to maturity on the debt is 7.84 percent. What is the firm's weighted average cost of capital if the tax rate is 39 percent
Answer: 11.05%
Explanation:
The weighted average cost of capital is calculated as follows:
= (Weight of debt * after tax cost of debt) + (weight of equity * cost of equity) + (weight of preferred stock * cost of preferred stock)
Total equity = 28,000 * 71 = $1,988,000
Total preferred stock = 6,900 * 91 = $627,900
Total debt = 380,000 * 107 = $406,600
Total = 1,988,000 + 627,900 + 406,600
= $3,022,500
Cost of preferred stock = Dividend / Current price = 7 / 91 = 7.69%
After tax cost of debt = 7.84% * (1 - 39%) = 4.78%
WACC = (406,000 / 3,022,500 * 4.78%) + (1,988,000 / 3,022,500 * 13.40%) + (627,900 / 3,022,500 * 7.69%)
= 11.05%

Fuente, Inc., has identified an investment project with the following cash flows. Year Cash Flow 1 $ 1,070 2 1,300 3 1,520 4 2,260 a. If the discount rate is 8 percent, what is the future value of these cash flows in Year 4
Answer:
Total FV= $6,765.82
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Year Cash Flow 1 $ 1,070 2 1,300 3 1,520 4 2,260
Discount rate= 8%
To calculate the total future value, we need to use the following formula on each cash flow:
FV= Cf*(1 + i)^n
FV1= 1,070*(1.08^3)= 1,347.9
FV2= 1,300*(1.08^2)= 1,516.32
FV3= 1,520*1.08= 1,641.6
FV4= 2,260
Total FV= $6,765.82

If demand increased by 100 units at each price level, and the government set a price ceiling of $40, then there will be
Answer:
no surplus or shortage
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
If demamd increases by 100, new equilibrium is 40
Thus, ceiling price equal equilibrium
Price ceiling is when the government or an agency of the government sets the maximum price for a product. It is binding when it is set below equilibrium price.
Effects of a binding price ceiling
It leads to shortages
it leads to the development of black markets
it prevents producers from raising price beyond a certain price
It lowers the price consumers pay for a product. This increases consumer surplus

The FICA tax for social security is 6.2% of the first $128,400 earned each calendar year, and the FICA tax rate for Medicare is 1.45% of all earnings for both the employee and the employer. The amount of federal income tax withheld from his earnings was $680.70. His net pay for the month is:_________
A) $3,857.30
B) $3,510.14
C) $4,538.00
D) $3,162.98
E) $4,190.84
Answer: $3,510.14
Explanation:
Trey Morgan's net pay will be amount remaining after deducting the FICA taxes for Social security and Medicare and the Federal income tax withheld.
The net pay is therefore:
= 4,538 - (4,538 * 6.2%) - (4,538 * 1.45%) - 680.70
= 4,538 - 281.356 - 65.801 - 680.70
= $3,510.14

Maricopa's Success scholarship fund receives a gift of $ 160000. The money is invested in stocks, bonds, and CDs. CDs pay 4.5 % interest, bonds pay 5.8 % interest, and stocks pay 8.4 % interest. Maricopa Success invests $ 15000 more in bonds than in CDs. If the annual income from the investments is $ 10450 , how much was invested in each account
Answer:
Maricopa's Success invested $40,000 in CDs, $55,000 in bonds and $65,000 in stocks.
Explanation:
Since Maricopa's Success scholarship fund receives a gift of $ 160,000, and the money is invested in stocks, bonds, and CDs, and CDs pay 4.5% interest, bonds pay 5.8% interest, and stocks pay 8.4% interest, and Maricopa Success invests $ 15000 more in bonds than in CDs, if the annual income from the investments is $ 10,450, to determine how much was invested in each account, the following calculation must be performed:
15,000 x 0.045 + 30,000 x 0.058 + 115,000 x 0.084 = 675 + 1740 + 9660 = 12,075
30,000 x 0.045 + 45,000 x 0.058 + 85,000 x 0.084 = 1350 + 2610 + 7140 = 11,100
37,500 x 0.045 + 52,500 x 0.058 + 70,000 x 0.084 = 1687.5 + 3045 + 5880 = 10,612.5
40,000 x 0.045 + 55,000 x 0.058 + 65,000 x 0.084 = 1800 + 3190 + 5460 = 10,450
Therefore, Maricopa's Success invested $ 40,000 in CDs, $ 55,000 in bonds and $ 65,000 in stocks.

Cycle counting ______.
a. is used to determine average cycle service level
b. is used to identify shelves needing repair
c. has a lower tolerance level for slower-moving items
d. follows a schedule such that the quantity of every SKU in inventory is counted at least once a year
Answer:
d. follows a schedule such that the quantity of every SKU in inventory is counted at least once a year
Explanation:
An inventory is a term used to describe a list of finished goods, goods still in the production line and raw materials that would be used for the manufacturing of more goods in a bid to meet the unending consumer demands.
Basically, an inventory can be classified into three (3) main categories;
I. Finished goods.
II. Work in progress (WIP).
III. Raw materials.
An inventory is recorded as a current asset on the balance sheet because it's primarily the most important source of revenue for a business entity.
Generally, it's important for a business to have a good idea of how many inventory it has at a specific period of time. In order to determine this, a process referred to as cycle counting can be used.
Cycle counting is a process that typically involves counting all stock keeping units (SKUs) for a specific period of time (in years), following a schedule that requires counting all items (every SKU in inventory) at least once a year.
Hence, a count of the stock keeping units (SKUs) simply means that you're physically counting how many units of each stock keeping unit (SKU) is carried at a particular point in time.
Furthermore, employees who are referred to as cycle counters are saddled with the responsibility of counting the stock keeping units (SKUs) and recording the information.
In cycle counting, the important items are counted more frequently by the cycle counters.
Cox Engineering performs cement core tests in its laboratory. The following standards have been set for each core test performed:Standard Hours or Quantity or Rate Standard PriceDirect materials 3 pounds $0.75 per poundDirect labor 0.4 hours $12 per hourVariable manufacturing overhead 0.4 hours $9 per hourDuring March, the laboratory performed 2,000 core tests. On March 1 no direct materials (sand) were on hand. Variable manufacturing overhead is assigned to core tests on the basis of standard direct labor-hours.The following events occurred during March:[1] 8,600 pounds of sand were purchased at a cost of $7,310.[2] 7,200 pounds of sand were used for core tests.[3] 840 actual direct labor-hours were worked at a cost of $8,610.[4] Actual variable manufacturing overhead incurred was $3,200.REQUIRED: (NOTE: You must show your computations)(a) The materials price variance for March is:(b) The materials quantity variance for March is:(c) The labor rate variance for March is:(d) The labor efficiency variance for March is:(e) The variable overhead efficiency variance for March is:
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
(a) The materials price variance for March is:
Actual cost of materials purchased = $7310
Less: Standard cost of actual quantity = 0.75 × $8600 = ($6450)
Direct material price variance = $860 Unfavorable
(b) The materials quantity variance for March is:
Standard cost of actual quantity = 0.75 × $7200 = $5400
Less: Standard cost of standard quantity = 3 × 2000 × $0.75 = $4500
Direct material quantity variance = $900 Unfavorable
(c) The labor rate variance for March is:
Actual cost of direct labor = $8610
Less: Standard cost of actual hours = 840 × $12 = $10080
Direct labor rate variance = $1470 favorable
(d) The labor efficiency variance for March is:
Standard cost of actual hours = 840 × $12 = $10080
Less: Standard cost of standard hours = 2000 × 0.4 × $0.12 = $9600
Direct labor efficiency variance = $480 Unfavorable

If a perfectly competitive firm is producing a quantity where MC > MR, then profit: Group of answer choices is maximized. can be increased by increasing production. can be increased by decreasing production. can be increased by decreasing the price.
Answer:
The answer is "Option C".
Explanation:
Please find the complete question in the attached file.
A fully competing company can enhance profits by increasing production levels when marginal income is more than marginal cost. If MR > MC It means the company produces too little by generating an additional amount of good, which can generate income, to increase its output, and produce MR = MC only at the point when it produces and as in competition with perfect MR = price level. The business is going to increase production until MR = MC = price and revenue is optimum.

Consider the following information from the records of Bennington Corporation. The company uses the weighted-average method. Brining Department Materials Conversion Equivalent units of production 1,670 1,660 Costs of beginning work in process $ 250 $ 350Costs added during the period $ 2,255 $ 3,385 i. When computing the cost per equivalent unit for conversion, what is the total cost that will be included in the numerator of that calculation? a. $3,735 b. $2,255 c. $5,640 d. $6,240 ii. What is the cost per equivalent unit for conversion? a. $1.50 b. $1.67 c. $2.20 d. $2.25
Answer:
1. a) $3735
2. d) $2.25
Explanation:
1. Computation of total cost that will be included in the numerator of that calculation
Total Conversion cost = 350+3385
Total Conversion cost= 3735
Therefore the total cost that will be included in the numerator of that calculation is 3735
2. Computation for Cost per equivalent unit of conversion cost
Cost per equivalent unit of conversion cost = 3735/1660
Cost per equivalent unit of conversion cost = 2.25
Therefore Cost per equivalent unit of conversion cost is $2.25
Given the following data, compute overhead applied and the under- or overapplication of overhead for the period:
Estimated annual overhead cost $1700000
Actual annual overhead cost $1675000
Estimated machine hours 200000
Actual machine hours 190000
Answer:
Underapplied overhead= $60,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated annual overhead cost $1700000
Actual annual overhead cost $1675000
Estimated machine hours 200000
Actual machine hours 190000
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 1,700,000 / 200,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $8.5 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 8.5*190,000
Allocated MOH= $1,615,000
Finally, the over/under allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 1,675,000 - 1,615,000
Underapplied overhead= $60,000
Assume the MPC is 0.625. Assuming only the multiplier effect matters, a decrease in government purchases of $10 billion will shift the aggregate demand curve to the a. left by about $13.3 billion. b. left by about $26.7 billion. c. right by about $36.7 billion. d. None of the above is correct.
Answer: b. left by about $26.7 billion.
Explanation:
The multiplier determines how much government spending affects the aggregagte demand.
Multiplier is:
= 1 / ( 1 - MPC)
= 1 / (1 - 0.625)
= 2.67
The effect on Aggregate demand is:
= Government spending * Multiplier
= -10 billion * 2.67
= -$26.7 billion
Aggregate demand will shift left by $26.7 billion to show that aggregate demand is decreasing.
