Answer:
$300 debit balance
Explanation:
In business debit entries mean that the money is being added to the account, while credit entries means that the money is owed and is therefore being deducted from the account. Therefore, in this scenario the cash account has a $300 debit balance. This is because the credit entries are being subtracted from the debit entries (assuming that the account had a $0 initial balance). If we do the math we are left with $300 of debit.
$900 - $600 = $300
You want to take out a $125,000 mortgage. The interest rate on the mortgage is 5%, and the loan is for 30 years. How much will your monthly payments be
Answer: $671.03
Explanation:
The monthly payment will be an annuity because it will be constant. The loan amount will be the present value of the loan.
Periodic interest rate of loan = 5%/12 = 5/12%
Loan period = 30 * 12 months = 360 months
Present value of annuity = Annuity * ( 1 - ( 1 + rate) ^ -number of periods) / rate
125,000 = Annuity * ( 1 - ( 1 + 5/12%)⁻³⁶⁰) / 5/12%
125,000 = Annuity * 186.2816170
Annuity = 125,000 / 186.2816170
= $671.03

Poorer developing countries which often produce and export primary commodities tend to face unfair _____________________ in relationship to rich countries that produce manufactured (capital) goods. Question 15 options:
Answer:
Poorer developing countries which often produce and export primary commodities tend to face unfair _______exchange values______________ in relationship to rich countries that produce manufactured (capital) goods.
Explanation:
Unfair exchange value means that rich countries that use the primary commodities of poorer developing countries to produce manufactured goods, especially capital goods, sell the manufactured goods at values that are not real or too exorbitant. This practice contributes to the unfairness of international trade. It also means that the prices at which the primary commodities are bought form the poorer countries are too low when compared with the prices of the manufactured capital goods sold by rich countries to poorer countries.
For each of the regions, use the midpoint method to identify whether the supply of this good is elastic or inelastic. Region Elastic Inelastic Between W and X Between Y and Z True or False: For high levels of quantity supplied where firms have reached near maximum capacity, supply becomes less elastic because firms may need to invest in additional capital in order to increase production further.
Answer:
a-1. Elasticity of supply between W and X is elastic.
a-1. elasticity of supply between Y and Z is inelastic.
b. The statement is true.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question.
The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:
a. For each of the regions, use the midpoint method to identify whether the supply of this good is elastic or inelastic.
The midpoint formula is as follows:
Elasticity of supply = ((Q2 - Q1)/ (Q2 + Q1) /2) / ((P2 - P1) / (P1 + P2) /2) ……… (1)
Using equation (1), we have:
a-1. Between W and X
Q2 = 25
Q1 = 10
P2 = 20
P1 = 15
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Elasticity of supply between W and X = ((25 - 10)/ (25 + 10) /2) / ((20 - 15) / (15 + 20) /2) = 3
Since 3 which is the calculated elasticity of supply between W and X is greater than 1, this implies that elasticity of supply between W and X is elastic.
a-2. Between Y and Z
Q2 = 90
Q1 = 80
P2 = 180
P1 = 90
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Elasticity of supply between Y and Z = ((90 - 80)/ (90 + 80) /2) / ((180 - 90) / (180 + 90) /2) = 0.18
Since 0.18 which is the calculated elasticity of supply between Y and Z is less than 1, this implies that elasticity of supply between Y and Z is inelastic.
b. True or False: For high levels of quantity supplied where firms have reached near maximum capacity, supply becomes less elastic because firms may need to invest in additional capital in order to increase production further.
This statement is true.
This is because, from part a above, it can be observed that elasticity of supply between W and X when quantity is low is elastic but the elasticity of supply between Y and Z when the quantity is high is inelastic. Therefore, it is true that for high levels of quantity supplied where firms have reached near maximum capacity, supply becomes less elastic because firms may need to invest in additional capital in order to increase production further.

Strack Houseware Supplies Inc. has $889 million in total assets. The other side of its balance sheet consists of $142.24 million in current liabilities, $257.81 million in long-term debt, and $488.95 million in common equity. The company has 29,400,000 shares of common stock outstanding, and its stock price is $88 per share. What is Strack's market-to-book ratio
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the above information,
Market value = Common stock outstanding × Stock price
Market value = 29,400,000 × $88
Market value = $2,587,200,000
Common equity = $488.95 million
Then,
Market to book ratio = $2,587,200,000 / $488,095,000
Market to book ratio = 5.30
Therefore, Strack's market to book ratio is 5.30
15) A factory manager can improve EVA by A) increasing earnings and increasing capital employed. B) increasing capital employed and reducing earnings. C) reducing earnings and reducing capital employed. D) increasing earnings and reducing capital employed.
Answer: D) increasing earnings and reducing capital employed.
Explanation:
Economic Value Added (EVA) shows how much residual income that a company has after it subtracts the cost of the capital invested from the operating profit that the company got.
If a manager wants to increase EVA therefore, they need to reduce the capital used so that the cost of capital will be less. This should be done while earnings are increased for an even higher increase in EVA.
As discussed in the lecture video, Crocs’ plastic molding and sandal design capabilities have provided the firm with only a temporary competitive advantage, as incumbent firms began selling sandals that were very similar to the Crocs’ clogs. Crocs lost its competitive advantage primarily because of ___________
Answer: c. competitor imitation
Explanation:
When a company makes a good product that people like and therefore brings in profit, other companies will copy that product if it is not protected by law so that they too can make profit as well.
This is what happened to the Crocs' clogs. Other companies imitated them and so Crocs lost their competitive advantage. This led to prices falling for such footwear as the supply increased. It is for this reason that companies try to get patents when they make a product.

Betty Vinson improperly capitalized line costs at her boss's direction. Which company did she work for
Answer: WorldCom
Explanation:
The WorldCom scandal of 2002 was the worst one in U.S. history and led to shareholders losing over $30 billion as a result of share prices falling drastically when it was revealed that the company had been making fraudulent accounting entries to look successful when it fact it had been losing money.
Betty Vinson was the company's Director of Corporate Reporting and her boss, CEO Bernie Ebbers, pressured her into making fraudulent entries because it was said that he "didn't want to disappoint Wall Street". This scandal was one of those that directly led to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act being passed.
Suppose that when the price of hamburgers rises by 7%, the quantity of ketchup demanded at the current price of ketchup falls by 6%. When income rises by 12%, the quantity of ketchup demanded at the current price increases by 5%. Calculate the income elasticity of demand for ketchup.
Answer:
0.42
Explanation:
Income elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in income.
If the absolute value of income elasticity of demand is greater than one, it means demand is elastic.
If the absolute value of income elasticity of demand is less than one, it means demand is inelastic.
Income elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in income
5/12 = 0.42

Which per unit cost does the slope of the total cost line represent? Group of answer choices Fixed Variable. Semivariable Step-variable
Answer: Variable cost
Explanation:
The slope of a regression line is meant to represent the change in the total variable or y, as a result of a change in the number of independent observations or x.
The cost that changes during production as a result of an increase in x which is the volume of products, is the variable cost so it is the slope of the total cost line,
Slope of total cost line:
y = mx + c
y = total cost
m = variable cost. m is also slope.
x = production volume
c = fixed cost

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

Sebastian received a raise this year so his income climbed from $45,000 to $52,000. Last year Sebastian purchased 2 sunglasses. This year he has purchased 7 sunglasses. Assuming that all of the other things remain constant, what type of a good are sunglasses and what type of income elasticity of demand does Sebastian have
Answer:
normal good
elastic demand
Explanation:
Income elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in income.
Income elasticity = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in income
percentage change in quantity demanded = (7/2) - 1 = 250%
percentage change in income = (52,000 / 45,000) - 1 = 15.6%
250 / 15.6 = 16.07
If the absolute value of income elasticity of demand is greater than one, it means demand is elastic.
Normal goods are goods that are goods whose demand increases when income increases and falls when income falls
Inferior goods are goods whose demand falls when income rises and increases when income falls.

4% 1.217 $4,868
5% 1.276 $5,104
6% 1.338 $5,352
Explanation:
Data and Calculations:
Investment = $4,000
Interest rate = 2%
Period of investment = 6 years
Future value factor at 2% for 6 years = 1.126
Value of investment at the end of 6 years = $4,504 ($4,000 * 1.126)
b) Investment = $4,000
Interest rates = from 1% to 6%
Period of investment, t = 5 years
Future value factors are as follows:
Rate per year Future Value Factor Amount
1% 1.051 $4,204 ($4,000 * 1.051)
2% 1.104 $4,416 ($4,000 * 1.104)
3% 1.159 $4,636 ($4,000 * 1.159)
4% 1.217 $4,868 ($4,000 * 1.217)
5% 1.276 $5,104 ($4,000 * 1.276)

A manufacturer reports the following costs to produce 10,000 units in its first year of operations: Direct materials, $10 per unit, Direct labor, $6 per unit, Variable overhead, $70,000, and Fixed overhead, $120,000. The total product cost per unit under absorption costing is
Answer:
Total unitary product cost= $35
Explanation:
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
Unitary overhead= (120,000 + 70,000) / 10,000) $19
Now, the total product cost:
Total unitary product cost= 10 + 6 + 19
Total unitary product cost= $35

Compute the equivalent units for materials costs and for conversion costs using the weighted-average method. b. Compute the equivalent units for materials costs and for conversion costs using the FIFO method. c. The company president has been under considerable pressure to increase income. He tells the controller to change the estimated completion for ending work in process to 60 percent (from 40 percent). c-1. What effect will this change have on the unit costs of units transferred to finished goods in March
Answer:
Aaron Company
a. Weighted-average
Equivalent units of production Units Materials Conversion
Units transferred to Finishing 630,000 630,000 (100%) 630,000 (100%)
Work in process, March 31 120,000 0 (0%) 48,000 (40%)
Equivalent units 630,000 678,000
b. FIFO:
Equivalent units of production Units Materials Conversion
Work in process, March 1 150,000 0 60,000 (40%)
Units started and completed 480,000 480,000 (100%) 480,000 (100%)
Work in process, March 31 120,000 0 (0%) 48,000 (40%)
Equivalent units 480,000 588,000
c. The change will reduce the unit costs of units transferred to finished goods in March.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Work in process, March 1 (60% complete as to conversion costs) 150,000
Units started in March 600,000
Units transferred to Finishing Department in March 630,000
Work in process, March 31 (40% complete as to conversion costs) 120,000
a. Weighted-average
Equivalent units of production Units Materials Conversion
Units transferred to Finishing 630,000 630,000 (100%) 630,000 (100%)
Work in process, March 31 120,000 0 (0%) 48,000 (40%)
Equivalent units 630,000 678,000
b. FIFO:
Equivalent units of production Units Materials Conversion
Work in process, March 1 150,000 0 60,000 (40%)
Units started and completed 480,000 480,000 (100%) 480,000 (100%)
Work in process, March 31 120,000 0 (0%) 48,000 (40%)
Equivalent units 480,000 588,000
c. If the estimated completion for ending work in process is changed to 60% from 40%, the equivalent units of production for materials will increase by 120,000. This increase will also increase the cost of ending work in process and reduce the unit costs transferred to finished goods in March.
