Answer:
Fixed Cost = $10,000
Variable Costs = $90,000
Explanation:
Variable Cost per unit = $72,000 ÷ 12,000
= $6
Variable Costs at 15,000 units = $6 x 15,000
= $90,000
Fixed Cost (given) = $10,000

Answer:
The federal government reserves the power to print money. By printing money to pay its debts, the government decreases the value of money and causes the inflation tax.Explanation:
As per the Constitution, the Federal government reserves the sole right to print currency. This ensures that all the states have a stable medium of exchange thereby allowing goods and services to flow across states undisturbed.
When the government prints money to enable it pay off its debt, the value of the currency decreases because the supply of money has increased relative to its demand. As a result, the currency will only be able to buy less than it was able to buy before thereby creating a sort of inflation tax because people would be paying an extra amount in order to purchase goods and services

Suppose a basketball player has made 294 out of 359 free throws. If the player makes the next 3 free throws, I will pay you $20. Otherwise you pay me $26. Step 1 of 2 : Find the expected value of the proposition. Round your answer to two decimal places. Losses must be expressed as negative values.
Answer: -$0.74
Explanation:
Expected value of the proposition is:
= (Probability that player makes next 3 free throws * 20) - (Probability that player does not make the next 3 free throws * 26)
Probability that player does not make the next 3 free throws = 294/359 * 294/359 * 294/359
= 0.549235557
Expected value of proposition:
= (0.549235557 * 20) - ( (1 - 0.549235557) * 26)
= 10.98471114 - 11.719875518
= -$0.74
Joe quits his computer programming job, where he was earning a salary of $ per year, to start his own computer software business in a building that he owns and was previously renting out for $ per year. In his first year of business he has the following expenses: salary paid to himself, $; rent, $0; and other expenses, $. Find the accounting cost and the economic cost associated with Joe's computer software business. (Enter numeric responses using an integer.) The accounting cost of Joe's business is $ 107000- nothing. (Enter your response as an integer.)
Answer:
accounting cost = $65,000
economic cost = $74,000
Explanation:
Here is the complete question
Joe quits his computer programming job, where he was earning a salary of $50,000year, to start his own computer software business in a building that he owns and was previously renting out for $24,000/year. In his first year of business he has the following expenses: salary to himself, $40,000; rent, $0; other expenses, $25,000.
Find the accounting cost and economic cost associated with Joe's computer software business.
There are two types of costs
1. Economic cost or Implicit cost or opportunity cost : Implicit cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives. It is used in calculating economic profit
By starting his business, joe is forgoing his income and the rent he could have earned on his building
$50,000+ $24,000 = 74,000
2. Explicit cost : It includes the amount expended in running the business. It is used in calculating accounting profit
They include rent , salary and cost of raw materials
40,000+ 25,000 = 65,000
Suppose that Jeremiah was unfairly terminated before his employment contract expired, and he had to spend $500 to find another job. His job search expenditures would be considered _____ damages.
Answer:
Incidental damages
Explanation:
In a situation where an employer doesn't fulfill a contract agreement with an employee, just like in the question above, where Jeremiah was unfairly terminated before his employment contract expired, he has the right to collect "damages" which is legal compensation for financial losses caused by the termination of his employment contract before it expired. Incidental damage is the answer because Jeremiah incurred expenses where he had to spend $500 to find another job as a result of the employer's breach of the contract.
Kremena's bank account earns 4.5% simple interest. How much must she deposit in the account today if she wants it to be worth $1,250 in 3 years
Answer:
$1,101.32
Explanation:
Simple interest accounts balances are calculated using the following formula
A = P ( 1 + rt)
where:
A = final account balance
P = starting balance
r = interest rate (annually) percentage divided by 100
t = years
Therefore, we can plug in the values provided in this formula and solve for P which would be the amount that Kremena needs to deposit.
1,250 = P ( 1 + (0.045 * 3))
1,250 = P * 1.135 ... divide both sides by 1.135
1,101.32 = P
Finally, we can see that Kremena would need to deposit a total of $1,101.32 to have the amount that she wants after 3 years.

The Best Company is reviewing two options for replacing a piece of machinery. The first machine costs $100,230 and has a four-year life. The second machine costs $155,000 and has a six-year life. Neither machine will have a salvage value. The machines will be replaced at the end of their life. What method should be used to determine which machine to purchase?
Answer:
Equivalent annual cost method
Explanation:
Equivalent annual cost method is a method used to choose between two projects with an unequal life span
The decision rule is to choose the product with the higher Equivalent annual cost
Equivalent annual cost method is better for making this decision because if net present value is used, the project with the higher useful life would be chosen. this does not mean it is more profitable
Hanna, Marnie, and Jessa have operated a partnership as filmmakers for a number of years. At the end of the year, before any allocation of profits, the partners have the following capital account balances:
Hanna $25.000
Marnie 15.000
Jessa 10.000
The partnership agreement states that profits should be allocated in proportion to the capital account balances. If the partnership earns $600,000 in the current year, how much of the profit will be allocated to Marnie?
a. $600,000.
b. $180,000.
c. $200,000.
d. $150,000.
Answer: b. $180,000
Explanation:
Profit should be allocated according to capital account balances. Marnie's capital account proportion is:
= 15,000 / (25,000 + 15,000 + 10,000)
= 15,000 / 50,000
= 30%
If the profit is $600,000, Marnie's share is:
= 30% * 600,000
= $180,000

Baxter Co. wants to issue new 20-year bonds for some much-needed expansion projects. The company currently has 5.6 percent coupon bonds on the market that sell for $1,094.30,page 160 make semiannual payments, and mature in 20 years. What coupon rate should the company set on its new bonds if it wants them to sell at par
Answer:
The coupon rate the company should set on its new bonds if it wants them to sell at par is 4.86%.
Explanation:
The coupon rate can be determined by calculating the yield to maturity (YTM) using the following RATE function in Excel:
YTM = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv) * Number of semiannuals in a year = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)*2 .............(1)
Where;
YTM = yield to maturity = ?
nper = number of periods = number of years to maturity * number of semiannuals in a year = 20 * 2 = 40
pmt = semiannual coupon payment = face value * (annual coupon rate / number of semiannuals in a year) = 1000 * (5.6% / 2) = 28
pv = present value = current bond price = $1,094.30 = 1094.30
fv = face value of the bond = 1000
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
YTM = RATE(40,28,-1094.30,1000)*2
Inputting =RATE(40,28,-1094.30,1000)*2 into excel (Note: as done in the attached excel file), we have
YTM = 4.86%
Therefore, the coupon rate the company should set on its new bonds if it wants them to sell at par is 4.86%.
Find the intrinsic value of XYZ Inc. The DPS at the end of year 1 is $2.00; at the end of year 2 is $2.40; at the end of year 3 is $2.70. After the third year, the DPS grows at a constant rate of 5%. The required rate of return is 12%.
Answer: 34.33
Explanation:
Firstly, we'll calculate the terminal value
which willl be:
= 2.70 × (1+5%)/(12% - 5%)
= 2.70 x 1.05/(0.12 - 0.05)
= 40.5
Then, the intrinsic value will be:
= 2/1.12 + 2.4/1.12² + (2.7 + 40.5)/1.12³
= 34.33
Therefore, the the intrinsic value of XYZ Inc is 34.33
MLX has annual sales of $320 million per year and has calculated the collection float to be 12 days. If MLX is currently paying 9.35% on its line of credit, what amount of interest expense could be saved if the collection float is reduced by 3 days? (Assume 365 days per year.
Answer: $245918
Explanation:
Following the information given in the question, the amount of interest expense that could be saved if the collection float is reduced by 3 days will be calculated thus:
= Sales × Interest × Sales reduction/365
= $320 million × 9.35% × 3/365
= $245918
Therefore, the interest expense that can be saved is $245918.
Aaron Company estimates direct labor costs and manufacturing overhead costs for the coming year to be $800,000 and $500,000, respectively. Aaron allocates overhead costs based on machine hours. The estimated total labor hours and machine hours for the coming year are 16,000 hours and 10,000 hours, respectively. What is the predetermined overhead allocation rate?
a. $0.00 per machine hour
b. $81.25 per labor hour
c. $50.00 per machine hour
d. $51.25 per labor hour
Answer:
c. $50.00 per machine hour
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the predetermined overhead allocation rate
Using this formula
Predetermined overhead allocation rate=Manufacturing overhead costs/Machine hours
Let plug in the formula
Predetermined overhead allocation rate=$500,000/10,000
Predetermined overhead allocation rate=$50.00 per machine hour
Therefore Predetermined overhead allocation rate is $50.00 per machine hour
ohn and Lisa form a partnership to operate a restaurant. Lisa signs a two-year lease on a space for the restaurant without consulting John. Under the legal concept of ________, John and the partnership are responsible for this lease, although it was only signed by Lisa.
Answer:
General Partnership
Explanation:
The legal concept of General Partnership obliges two or more signing partners -Lisa and John in this case- to share all assets, all liabilities, and to be responsible for all matters related to the business, regardless of who signs a contract, or contracts new debt, or acquires a new asset, and so on.
So under this legal concept, even if John did not sign the lease, he is still legally responsible for it.
Later, the teaching assistant in Yvette’s economics course gives her some advice. "Based on past experience," the teaching assistant says, "working on 30 problems raises a student’s exam score by about the same amount as reading the textbook for 1 hour." For simplicity, assume students always cover the same number of pages during each hour they spend reading. Given this information, in order to use her 4 hours of study time to get the best exam score possible, how many hours should she have spent working on problems, and how many should she have spent reading?
Answer:
Yvette
To get the best exam score possible, Yvette should spend 2 hours working on problems and 2 hours reading.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Total study time = 4 hours
Number of problems solved = 30
Hours reading textbook = 1 hour
Score obtained from problem solving = 50%
Score obtained from reading textbook = 50%
Therefore, number of hours to spend working on problems = 2 (4 * 50%)
Number of hours to spend reading - 2 (4 * 50%)
Roosevelt Corporation has a weighted-average unit contribution margin of $30 for its two products, Standard and Supreme. Expected sales for Roosevelt are 40,000 Standard and 60,000 Supreme. Fixed expenses are $1,800,000. How many Standards would Roosevelt sell at the break-even point?
A. 36,000
B. 40,000
C. 60,000
D. 24,000
Answer:
D. 24,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How many Standards would Roosevelt sell at the break-even point
First step
Total sales = 40000 + 60000
Total sales= 100000 units
Second step
Standard = 40000 / 100000
Standard= 0.4
Third step
Supreme = 60000 / 100000
Supreme= 0.6
Fourth step
Overall break even in units = 1800000 / 30
Overall break even in units= 60000 units
Now let calculate the Standards sales at break even point
Standards sales at break even point = 60000 *
0.4
Standards sales at break even point =24000 units
Therefore the Standards sales at break even point is 24000 units
g An increase in the interest rate: has no effect on investment. may be caused by a drop in investment demand. increases planned investment because people who make money from interest have more money to invest. reduces planned investment because the interest rate is the cost of borrowing to finance investment projects.
Answer:
reduces planned investment because the interest rate is the cost of borrowing to finance investment projects.
Explanation:
There is an inverse relationship between interest rate and planned investment.
The higher interest rate is, the lower planned investment. This is because interest rate is the cost of borrowing. An higher interest rate means the cost of borrowing would increase.
On the other hand, a lower interest rate increases planned investment. This is because a lower interest rate means that the cost of borrowing would reduce.
What is the present value of an investment that will pay $2,000 at the end of the year when interest is compounded annually at 5.10%
Answer:
the present value of an investment is $1,902.94
Explanation:
The computation of the present value of an investment is given below:
present value
= Future value ÷ (1 + rate of interest)^time period
=$2,000 ÷ (1+.051)^1
= $2,000 ÷ 1.051
= $1902.94
Hence, the present value of an investment is $1,902.94

Four major breakfast cereal companies share a majority of the cereal market: Kellogg, Post, General Mills, and Quaker. This is an example of
Answer:
Oligopoly
Explanation:
An oligopoly can be defined as a market structure comprising of a small number of firms (sellers) offering identical or similar products, wherein none can limit the significant influence of others.
Hence, it is a market structure that is distinguished by several characteristics, one of which is either similar or identical products and dominance by few firms.
The characteristics of an oligopolistic market structure are;
I. Mutual interdependence between the firms.
II. It's a market that is typically controlled by many small firms.
III. Difficult entry to new firms.
In this scenario, four major breakfast cereal companies share a majority of the cereal market (identical or similar products) such as Kellogg, Post, General Mills, and Quaker. Thus, this is an example of an oligopoly.
HealthSouth manipulated their financial statements by making ______________ in false or unsupported entries in the company's accounting systems.
Answer: 2.7 billion
Explanation:
The quantity demanded for money is higher in Japan than in the United States because: telecommunications and information technology is more advanced in the United States than in Japan. Japanese interest rates are higher than those in the United States. Japanese interest rates are lower than those in the United States. Japanese consumers use credit cards more than people in the United States.
Answer:
Japanese interest rates are lower than those in the United States.
Explanation:
The demand for money (the decision to hold money) is inversely related to interest rate. if interest rate is high, individuals would prefer to hold bonds and the demand for money would fall. if interest rate is low, individuals would prefer to hold money.
the opportunity cost of holding money is what would have been earned if money was invested. if interest rate is low, individuals would prefer to hold more money because the amount that would be earned if money was invested in bonds would be low, so the opportunity cost of holding money would be low
If the demand for money is higher in Japan than in the United States, it is because interest rates are lower in Japan
Any effort by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to evaluate expected deceptive marketing practices would be seriously flawed because it would mean punishing business on the basis of what the FTC thinks might happen rather than on what actually does happen.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
This is true because the Federal Trade commission(FTC) analyze and investigate a seller or sellers who may be so cooperative as to make agreements that ensure large amounts of profit for them which is likely harmful and exploitative to consumers . FTC investigates business mergers which may be horizontal or vertical that are likely done for the purpose of increasing market share and fostering a sort of monopoly of the market. However, mergers and cooperation among businesses in the market do not always yield a monopoly and the FTC may be wrong(sometimes) to wave mergers that could increase the quality of goods or services in a market
