Economic cost of production differ from accounting costs in that A. accounting cost includes expenditures for hired resources while economic cost does not. B. economic cost includes expenditures for hired resources while accounting cost does not. C. accounting costs are always larger than economic cost. D. economic cost adds the opportunity cost of a firm using its own resources while accounting cost does not.
Answer:
D. economic cost adds the opportunity cost of a firm using its own resources while accounting cost does not.
Explanation:
Accounting cost is equal to total explicit Cost. It is the actual cost expended in carrying out a project.
Economic cost is explicit cost plus opportunity cost.
Opportunity cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives.
Economic cost is usually larger than accounting cost.

Net Sales $36,000 12% $19,000 5.7%
Cost of Goods Sold $20,000 10.8% $19,000 9.2%
Gross Profit $16,000 8.6% $11,000 5.3%
Explanation:
Net Sales:
2016: Net Sales of 2017 - Net Sales of 2016 = $336,000 - $300,000 =$36,000
2017: Net Sales of 2018 - Net Sales of 2017 = $355,000 - $336,000 = $19,000
Percentage Change in Net Sales:
2016: ($336,000 - $300,000) / $300,000 = 12%
2017: ($355,000 - $336,000) / $336,000 = 5.7%
Cost of Goods Sold:
2016: COGS of 2017 - COGS of 2016 = $206,000 - $186,000 =$20,000
2017: COGS of 2018 - COGS of 2017 = $214,000 - $206,000 = $19,000
Percentage Change in Cost of Goods Sold:
2016: $20,000 / $186,000 = 10.8%
2017: $19,000 / $206,000 = 9.2%
Gross Profit:
2016: Gross Profit of 2017 - Gross Profit of 2016 = $130,000 - $114,000 =$16,000
2017: Gross Profit of 2018 - Gross Profit of 2017 = $141,000 - $130,000 = $11,000
Percentage Change in Gross Profit:
2016: $16,000 / $186,000 = 8.6%
2017: $11,000 / $206,000 = 5.3%
Under its executive stock option plan, B Corporation granted options on January 1, 2021, that permit executives to purchase 24 million of the company's $1 par common shares within the next eight years, but not before December 31, 2023 (the vesting date). The exercise price is the market price of the shares on the date of grant, $18 per share. The fair value of the options, estimated by an appropriate option pricing model, is $4 per option. No forfeitures were anticipated; however, unexpected turnover during 2022 caused the forfeiture of 5% of the stock options. Ignoring taxes, what is the effect on earnings in 2022? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar amount.)
Answer:
Explanation:
Total compensation Cost = Number of shares X Fair value per share
= 24 million X $4
= $ 96 million
Year 2021:
Effect on earnings = Total compensation Cost / Termination period
= $ 96 million / 3 years
= $ 32 million
Year 2022:
Effect on earnings = [24 million X $4 X 95% X 2/3] - $32 million
= $ 29 million
The Refining Department of SweetBeet, Inc. had 79,000 tons of sugar to account for in July. Of the 79,000 tons, 49,000 tons were completed and transferred to the Boiling Department, and the remaining 30,000 tons were 50% complete. The materials required for production are added at the beginning of the process. Conversion costs are added evenly throughout the refining process. The weighted-average method is used. Calculate the total equivalent units of production for direct materials.
Answer:
79,000 tons
Explanation:
When you use the weighted average method for determining equivalent units, the total number of equivalent units = units completed and transferred out + equivalent units in ending inventory.
In this case, since the materials are added at the beginning of the production process, all the units are 100% complete regarding direct materials.
Scenario 28-1 Suppose that the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the entire adult population of Mankiwland can be categorized as follows: 25 million people employed, 3 million people unemployed, 1 million discouraged workers, and 1 million people who are either students, homemakers, retirees, or other people not seeking employment. Refer to Scenario 28-1. How many people are unemployed
Answer: 3 million.
Explanation:
Unemployment is defined as when a member of a Country's labor force is jobless but actively looking for work.
In the Scenario 28-1, the discouraged people are not counted as they are discouraged and not looking for work and 1 million other people being students and retirees amongst others are not looking for work either.
The unemployed section of Mankiwland is therefore the 3 million unemployed people.
Steve Company purchased a tractor at a cost of $180,000. The tractor has an estimated salvage value of $20,000 and an estimated life of 8 years, or 10,000 hours of operation. The tractor was purchased on January 1, 2019 and was used 2,400 hours in 2019 and 2,100 hours in 2020. On January 1, 2021, the company decided to sell the tractor for $70,000. Steve uses the units-of-production method to account for the depreciation on the tractor. Based on this information, the entry to record the sale of the tractor will show:
Answer:
Loss on sale = $38,000
Explanation:
The computation of sale of tractor is shown below:-
Total depreciation = ($180,000 - $20,000) × (2,400 + 2,100) ÷ 10000
= $72,000
Net book value on January 1, 2021 = Tractor cost - Total depreciation
= $180,000 - $72,000
= $108,000
Loss on sale = Total depreciation - Net book value on January 1, 2021
= $70,000 - $108,000
= $38,000
Therefore for computing the sale of tractor we simply applied the above formula.
The entry to record the sale of the tractor will show the loss of $38,000.
Here, we are going to calculate the loss or gain on the sale of the tractor.
Depreciation rate per hour = (Cost - Salvage value) / Total estimated hours
Depreciation rate per hour = ($180,000 - $20,000) / 10,000
Depreciation rate per hour = $160,000 / 10,000
Depreciation rate per hour = $16
Depreciation amount = Hours * Depreciation rate per hourDepreciation in 2019 = 2,400 hours * $16 per hour
Depreciation in 2019 = $38,400
Depreciation in 2020 = 2,100 hours * $16 per hour
Depreciation in 2020 = $33,600
Accumulated depreciation = Depreciation in 2019 +
Depreciation in 2020
Accumulated depreciation = $38,400 + $33,600
Accumulated depreciation = $72,000
Carrying value = Cost - Accumulated depreciation
Carrying value = $180,000 - $72,000
Carrying value = $108,000
Gain / (loss) = Sale price - Carrying value
Gain / (loss) = $70,000 - $108,000
Loss = $38,000
Therefore, the entry to record the sale of the tractor will show the loss of $38,000.

Assume also that 2016 is the base year and the real GDP will be calculated using 2016 prices. What is the real GDP 2017? Hot Dogs Buns Quantity Price Quantity Price Year 2016 (base year) 6 million $2 4 million $1 Year 2017 8 million $3 6 million $2 a. $22 million. b. $26 million c. $16 million. d. $36 million.
Answer:
Option (a).
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
Real GDP = Base Year Price × Current Year Quantity
Real GDP in 2016= $2 × 6 million + $1 × 4 million
= $12 million + $4 million = $16 million
Real GDP in 2017 = $2 × 8 million + $1 × 6 million
= $16 million + $6 million = $22 million
According to the analysis, the real GDP in 2017 is $22 million. So (a) option is correct.

A law firm received $1600 cash for legal services to be rendered in the future. The full amount was credited to the liability account Unearned Service Revenue. If the legal services have been rendered at the end of the accounting period and no adjusting entry is made, this would cause:
Answer and Explanation:
In the first situation, the journal entry is
Cash Dr $1,600
To Unearned revenue $1,600
(Being the unearned revenue is recorded)
For this we debited the cash as it increased the assets and credited the unearned revenue as it also increased the liabilities
The adjusting entry is
Unearned Service Revenue XXXXX
To Service Revenue XXXXX
(Being the adjusting entry is recorded)
If this entry is not recorded than it would leads to understated of revenue and overstated of liabilities
Your staff uses expense accounts for job-related travel. The accounting department has changed the way such expenses are handled. You need to inform your staff about the new process for reimbursement. How can you explain the new process in a way they will be able to refer to later
Answer: A memo
Explanation:
Of all the possible ways listed, a Memorandum would be the best way to go.
In businesses, Memos are considered a way to send information within the company about any changes or other happenings within a company. Memos can be sent to every individual or hung around the business. This way everybody can see it and be able to refer back to it. Memos also have proven overtime in the business world that they work for this purpose so using it would be best.
Face to face meetings would have helped explain the changes better but then people would not really be able to refer back to it.
Present value of bonds payable; discount Pinder Co. produces and sells high-quality video equipment. To finance its operations, Pinder Co. issued $25,000,000 of five-year, 7% bonds, with interest payable semiannually, at a market (effective) interest rate of 9%. Determine the present value of the bonds payable, using the present value tables in Exhibits 8 and 10. Round to the nearest dollar.
Answer:
$23,021,880.00
Explanation:
The present value of the bond consists of the present value of semiannual coupon payment and present value of face value discounted using the market interest rate of 9% per year(but 4.5% semiannually)
present of face value=face value*discount factor
discount factor=1/(1+4.5%)^10=0.64393
present value of face value=$25,000,000*0.64393 =$16,098,250.00
Present value of semiannual coupon=coupon payment*discount factor
The discount factor is the present value of annuity of 4.5% for ten periods i.e 7.91272
coupon payment=$25,000,000*7%*6/12=$875000
present of coupon=7.91272 *$875000 =$6,923,630.00
total present value=$6,923,630.00+$16,098,250.00=$23,021,880.00
The required reserve ratio is 0.05. If the Federal Reserve buys $1,000,000 worth of bonds from a bond dealer who has her account at Bank XYZ above and she deposits the entire $1,000,000 into a checking account at Bank XYZ, what will be the new required and excess reserves for this bank (assume no new loans are made)? (Remember that required reserves are found by applying the required reserve ratio to the amount of total checkable deposits.)
Missing information:
total deposits in bank XYZ = $4,000,000
total reserves = $3,800,000
Answer:
the required reserve = $250,000
excess reserves = $4,550,000
Explanation:
required reserve ratio = 5%
the Fed buys $1,000,000 worth of bonds
the $1,000,000 are deposited entirely in bank XYZ
total checkable deposits will increase to $5,000,000
the required reserve = $5,000,000 x 5% = $250,000
excess reserves = total checkable deposits - total loans - required reserves = $5,000,000 - $200,000 - $250,000 = $4,550,000
Assume Digby expands operations in Asia Pacific in the coming year. In doing so, they have added capacity to fill all demand in-house and have increased automation to reduce labor cost by 10%. For clarity, assume the following are true: Daze material cost is still $12.75. Daze labor cost last year was $9.00. Daze will be priced at $32.50 per unit, in American dollars. Shipping costs from the Americas to Asia Pacific are $2.50 per unit. What will Daze's contribution margin be in Asia Pacific for the coming year
Answer:
$9.15
Explanation:
Contribution margin is the net value of sales and variable cost of a product. We need to deduct variable cost from selling price of a product to calculate the contribution margin .
First we need to determine the total variable cost.
Labor Cost ( $9 x ( 1 - 0.1 ) ) $8.1
Material cost $12.75
Shipping cost $2.50
Total Variable cost $23.35
Price = $32.50
Contribution Margin = Selling price - Variable cost
Contribution Margin = $32.50 - $23.35 = $9.15
Bonnie Jo purchased a used camera (five-year property) for use in her sole proprietorship. The basis of the camera was $3,000. Bonnie Jo used the camera in her business 60 percent of the time and used it for personal purposes the rest of the time during the first year. Calculate Bonnie Jo's depreciation deduction during the first year, assuming the sole proprietorship had a loss during the year. (Bonnie did not place the property in service in the last quarter.)
Answer:
$360
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation deduction during the first year is shown below:
= Basis of the camera × given percentage × weightage
= $3,000 × 60% × 20%
= $360
Since the 60% is used for business and 40% used for personal
And there is a recovery period of assets of 5 years so half year convention period applies
The Edwards Construction Supply Company is adopting a just-in-time inventory system. Jim Edwards, the president, has decided that restocking only when the inventory falls below a specific level will save the company thousands of dollars. Many of Edwards’ employees have been with the company for 30 years or more, and change like this might be unsettling for them. Edwards knows that his employees will be more comfortable with the system if their supervisors understand it fully. What purpose will this meeting serve?
Answer: To Provide a Smooth Transition
Explanation:
As the text mentions, many of Edwards’ employees who have been with the company for 30 years or more, might find change unsettling. However, they trust their supervisors enough to be comfortable if the Supervisors understand the new system.
For this reason, this meeting is very important as it is a chance to get the supervisors on board. Here the Edwards Company can explain in detail the new system so that the Supervisors can understand it thoroughly so that the employees might be able to follow them. Any questions or concerns can be dealt with which would make the transition smoother for the company and it's employees.

A television manufacturer would like to reduce its inventory. To this end, you are asked by the operations manager to assess its inventory level. You have the following information on average inventories from last year's financial statement: Raw materials $1,500,000 Work-in-process $1,200,000 Finished goods $800,000 In addition, the cost of goods sold last year (50 weeks) was $20 million. What is its total inventory (measured as weeks of supply) Answer
Answer:
A.8.75 weeks
B.5.71
Explanation:
a.
Weeks of supply = average aggregate inventory value/weekly sales at cost
=(1,500,000 + 1,200,000 + 800,000)/(20,000,000/50)
=3,500,000/400,000
= 8.75 weeks
b.Inventory turnover = annual sales (at cost)/average aggregate inventory value
=20 million/3.5 million
= 5.71
Answer:
Weeks Of Supply = 27.82 weeks
Explanation:
Weeks of Supply tells us that on average how long an inventory will last based on current demand.
The formula to calculate it is given below
Weeks Of Supply = Average Aggregate Inventory Value/ Weekly Cost of Sales
Weeks Of Supply = Raw Materials + Work In Process + Finished Goods/ Weekly Cost of Sales
Weeks Of Supply =$1,500,000+ $1,200,000+ $800,000/$ 20,000,000/52
Weeks Of Supply = 10,700,000/384615.385= 27.82 weeks
If the weeks of supply is lower it is better.
Inventory Turnover= $ 20,000,000/10,700,000=1.87 turns
Sports Bar and Tasty Bakery are adjacent businesses with adjoining parking lots. Sports Bar offers Tasty a discount on purchases if the bakery will not tow the cars of Sports Bar's patrons who park in the bakery's lot. The discount is legally sufficient consideration

In 2016, the Allen Corporation had sales of $ 68 million, total assets of $ 50 million, and total liabilities of $ 18 million. The interest rate on the company's debt is 5.8 percent, and its tax rate is 35 percent. The operating profit margin is 13 percent. a. Compute the firm's 2016 net operating income and net income. b. Calculate the firm's operating return on assets and return on equity. (Hint: You can assume that interest must be paid on all of the firm's liabilities.) a. Compute the firm's 2016 net operating income and net income. The firm's 2016 net operating income is $ nothing million. (Round to two decimal places.)
Answer:
Explanation:
Sales - $68,000,000
Total assets - $50,000,000
Total Liabilities - $18,000,000
Interest rate - 5.8%
Tax rate - 35%
Profit margin - 13%
a)
1)Net operating income = Sales * Operating profit margin
68,000,000*13%= $8,840,000
2)Net Income = Operating income - 8,840,000
Interest expense (5.8%* 18,000,000) (1,044,000)
Income before tax 7,796,000
Income tax (30%) (2,338,000)
5,458,000
b)
1)Operating return on assets = net operating income /assets *100
= 8,840,000/50,000,000*100= 17.68%
2)Return on equity.
Net income / Equity * 100
Equity = 50,000,000 - 18,000,000 = 32,000,000
5,458,000/32,000,000*100= 17.06%
g Based on the Keynesian model, one reason to support government spending increases over tax cuts as a tool for stimulating the economy is: Group of answer choices the government-spending multiplier is smaller than the tax multiplier. the government-spending multiplier is larger than the tax multiplier. tax cuts do not cause the budget deficit to increase. increases in government spending do not cause the budget deficit to increase.
Answer:
The answer is: The multiplier of public spending is greater than the tax multiplier.
Explanation:
Unemployment is caused by insufficient global demand. Therefore, to combat unemployment, aggregate demand (Da) will have to be increased, and for this, according to Keynes' formula, the following components must be acted on:
-Increase demand for consumer goods (C)
To stimulate consumption, taxes will have to be reduced, thus causing an increase in the disposable income of families.
-Increase the demand for investment goods (I)
This increase will be achieved by reducing the cost of money; in other words, lowering interest rates, thus encouraging companies to invest.
-Increase public sector demand (G)
It comes from the increase in public spending by the State (more roads, more hospitals).
-Increase the demand of international markets (X-M)
To promote exports, the exchange rate will have to be reduced. Increasing exports boosts domestic production.

What will NOT cause a shortage?
A.) war
B.) scarcity of resources
C.) extreme weather
D.) increase in prices
An increase in prices will reduce demand, and not supply. You could have an increase in prices due to a shortage, but price increases could also be from a number of other factors, one of which is demand increasing.
Meanwhile, war, scarcity and extreme weather all are possible factors of a shortage. So we can cross choices A,B,C off the list.
A company determined that the budgeted cost of producing a product is $30 per unit. On June 1, there were 86000 units on hand, the sales department budgeted sales of 370000 units in June, and the company desires to have 160000 units on hand on June 30. The budgeted cost of goods sold for June would be
Answer:
The budgeted cost of goods sold for June would be $ 13,320,000
Explanation:
Budgeted cost per unit = $30
Sales budget = 370,000 units
Less: Beginning inventory = 86,000 units
Add: Ending inventory = 160,000 units
Therefore budgeted cost of goods sold for June = (370,000 - 86,000 + 160,000) × $30
= 444,000 × $30
= $13,320,000

On January 1, a company issued and sold a $408,000, 9%, 10-year bond payable, and received proceeds of $403,000. Interest is payable each June 30 and December 31. The company uses the straight-line method to amortize the discount. The journal entry to record the first interest payment is:
Answer and Explanation:
The Journal entry is shown below:-
Bond interest expense Dr, $18,610
To Cash $18360
To Discount on bonds $250
(Being first interest payment is recorded)
For recording the first interest payment we simply debited the bond interest expenses as it increased the expenses and we credited cash and discount on bonds as it reduced the assets and the discount should be credited
Working Note
Total discount on bonds issued = Sold bonds - Received proceeds
= $408,000 - $403,000
= $5,000
Amortization of Semi Annual Discount = Total discount on bonds issued ÷ Number of periods
= $5,000 ÷ 20
= $250
Cash interest paid = Sold bonds × Interest rate × From Jan to June ÷ Total number of months in a year
= $408,000 × 9% × 6 ÷ 12
= $18,360
Total Interest expense = Cash interest paid + Amortization of Semi Annual Discount
= $18,360 + $250
= $18,610

In the long run, increases in the money supply increase prices, but not output. c. Recessions are associated with decreases in consumption, investment, and employment. d. Government should use fiscal policy to try to stabilize the economy.

d. Government should use fiscal policy to try to stabilize the economy.

The benefits of fiscal policy is that investments, savings and growth is usually influenced in the long-run while it basically influences aggregate demand for goods and services in the short-run.
