Suppose that output (Y ) in an economy is given by the following aggregate production function: Yt = Kt + Nt where Kt is capital and Nt is the population. Furthermore, assume that capital depreciates at rate δ and that savings is a constant proportion s of income. You may assume that δ > s. 1. Suppose that the population remains constant. Solve for the steady-state level of capital per worker. 2. Now suppose that the population grows at rate n. Solve for the steady-state level of capital per worker. 3. Based on your answer to part 2) above, solve for the steady-state growth rates (in terms of n) of the following: (a) capital per worker (b) output per worker (c) capital (d) output

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Yt = Kt + Nt

Taking output per worker, we divide by Nt

Yt/Nt = Kt/Nt + 1

yt = kt + 1

where yt is output per worker and kt is capital per worker.

a) With population being constant, savings rate s and depreciation rate δ.

ΔKt = It - δKt

dividing by Nt, we get

ΔKt/Nt = It/Nt - δKt/Nt ..... [1]

for kt = Kt/Nt, taking derivative

d(kt)/dt = d(Kt/Nt)/dt ... since Nt is a constant, we have

d(kt)/dt = d(Kt/Nt)/dt = (dKt/dt)/Nt = ΔKt/Nt = It/Nt - δKt/Nt = it - δkt

thus, Capital accumulation Δkt = i – δkt

In steady state, Δkt = 0

That is I – δkt = 0

S = I means that I = s.yt

Thus, s.yt – δkt = 0

Then kt* = s/δ(yt) = s(kt+1)/(δ )

kt*= skt/(δ) + s/(δ)

kt* - skt*/(δ) = s/(δ)

kt*(1- s/(δ) = s/(δ)

kt*((δ - s)/(δ) = s/(δ)

kt*(δ-s)) = s

kt* = s/(δ -s)

capital per worker is given by kt*

b) with population growth rate of n,

d(kt)/dt = d(Kt/Nt)/dt =

= [tex]\frac{\frac{dKt}{dt}Nt - \frac{dNt}{dt}Kt}{N^{2}t}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{dKt/dt}{Nt} - \frac{dNt/dt}{Nt}.\frac{Kt}{Nt}[/tex]

= ΔKt/Nt - n.kt

because (dNt/dt)/Nt = growth rate of population = n and Kt/Nt = kt (capital per worker)

so, d(kt)/dt = ΔKt/Nt - n.kt

Δkt = ΔKt/Nt - n.kt = It/Nt - δKt/Nt - n.kt ......(from [1])

Δkt = it - δkt - n.kt

at steady state Δkt = it - δkt - n.kt = 0

s.yt - (δ + n)kt = 0........... since it = s.yt

kt* = s.yt/(δ + n) =s(kt+1)/(δ + n)

kt*= skt/(δ + n) + s/(δ + n)

kt* - skt*/(δ + n) = s/(δ + n)

kt*(1- s/(δ + n)) = s/(δ + n)

kt*((δ + n - s)/(δ + n)) = s/(δ + n)

kt*(δ + n -s)) = s

kt* = s/(δ + n -s)

.... is the steady state level of capital per worker with population growth rate of n.

3. a) capital per worker. in steady state Δkt = 0 therefore, growth rate of kt is zero

b) output per worker, yt = kt + 1

g(yt) = g(kt) = 0

since capital per worker is not growing, output per worker also does not grow.

c)capital.

kt* = s/(δ + n -s)

Kt*/Nt = s/(δ + n -s)

Kt* = sNt/(δ + n -s)

taking derivative with respect to t.

d(Kt*)/dt = s/(δ + n -s). dNt/dt

(dNt/dt)/N =n (population growth rate)

so dNt/dt = n.Nt

d(Kt*)/dt = s/(δ + n -s).n.Nt

dividing by Kt*

(d(Kt*)/dt)/Kt* = s/(δ + n -s).n.Nt/Kt* = sn/(δ + n -s). (Nt/Kt)

[tex]\frac{sn}{\delta +n-s}.\frac{Nt}{Kt}[/tex]

using K/N = k

[tex]\frac{s}{\delta +n-s}.\frac{n}{kt}[/tex]

plugging the value of kt*

[tex]\frac{sn}{\delta +n-s}.\frac{(\delta + n -s)}{s}[/tex]

n

thus, Capital K grows at rate n

d) Yt = Kt + Nt

dYt/dt = dKt/dt + dNt/dt = s/(δ + n -s).n.Nt + n.Nt

using d(Kt*)/dt = s/(δ + n -s).n.Nt from previous part and that (dNt/dt)/N =n

dYt/dt = n.Nt(s/(δ + n -s) + 1) = n.Nt(s+ δ + n -s)/(δ + n -s) = n.Nt((δ + n)/(δ + n -s)

dYt/dt = n.Nt((δ + n)/(δ + n -s)

dividing by Yt

g(Yt) = n.(δ + n)/(δ + n -s).Nt/Yt

since Yt/Nt = yt

g(Yt) = n.(δ + n)/(δ + n -s) (1/yt)

at kt* = s/(δ + n -s), yt* = kt* + 1

so yt* = s/(δ + n -s) + 1 = (s + δ + n -s)/(δ + n -s) = (δ + n)/(δ + n -s)

thus, g(Yt) = n.(δ + n)/(δ + n -s) (1/yt) =  n.(δ + n)/(δ + n -s) ((δ + n -s)/(δ + n)) = n

therefore, in steady state Yt grows at rate n.

Thus, AD will shift from point AD0 to the point AD1.  The fresh short time equilibrium is placed at point B (wherein AD1 is conneting to SRAS0).  Longer run accostoming will move SRAS curve from point SRAS0 to the pint SRAS1.  Hence, the New longer run equilibrium has been placed at point C.

Haylock Inc. bases its manufacturing overhead budget on budgeted direct labor-hours. The direct labor budget indicates that 7,800 direct labor-hours will be required in August. The variable overhead rate is $1.20 per direct labor-hour. The company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $100,560 per month, which includes depreciation of $8,790. All other fixed manufacturing overhead costs represent current cash flows. The August cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget should be:

Answers

Answer:

Total cash= $101,130

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated direct labor hours=  7,800

The variable overhead rate is $1.20 per direct labor-hour.

The company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $100,560 per month, which includes depreciation of $8,790.

We need to deduct the depreciation expense because it is not a cash disbursement.

Cash disbursement:

Variable overhead= 7,800*1.2= $9,360

Fixed overhead= (100,560 - 8,790)= $91,770

Total cash= $101,130

GE buys back 300,000 shares of its stock from investors at $45 a share. Two years later it reissues this stock for $65 a share. The stock reissue would be recorded with a debit to Cash for:__________

b) $13.5 million, a debit to Additional Paid-in Capital for $6 million, a credit to Treasury Stock for $13.5 million, and a credit to Stockholders' Equity for $6 million.
c) $19.5 million, a credit to Treasury Stock for $13.5 million, and a credit to Gain on Sale of Treasury Stock for $6 million.
d) $19.5 million and a credit to Treasury Stock for $19.5 million.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is Option A.

Explanation:

Treasury stocks are simply company's own stock repurchased by the company. When this happens, there is cash outflow in order to increase the stock.

When GE bought back 300,000 shares of its stock from investors at $45 a share, the value of the treasury stock was 300,000 shares x $45 = $13.5m. However, the stock was reissued for $65 a share, translating to 300,000 shares x $65 = $19.5m cash receipt.

The appropriate entries to raise would be a debit to cash for $19.5 million, a credit to Treasury Stock for $13.5 million, and a credit to Additional Paid-in Capital for $6 million.

Southern Rim Parts estimates its manufacturing overhead to be $318,000 and its direct labor costs to be $1,060,000 for year 1. The first three jobs that Southern Rim worked on had actual direct labor costs of $65,000 for Job 301, $90,000 for Job 302, and $175,000 for Job 303. For the year, actual manufacturing overhead was $399,000 and total direct labor cost was $834,000. Manufacturing overhead is applied to jobs on the basis of direct labor costs using predetermined rates.Required:a. How much overhead was assigned to each of the three jobs, 301, 302, and 303?b. What was the over- or underapplied manufacturing overhead for year 1?

Answers

Answer:

a. Job 301 = $19,500

Job 302 = $27,000

Job 303 = $52,500

b. Overhead applied for the year = $250,200

Under-applied overhead = $148,800

Explanation:

a. The computation of overhead was assigned to each of the three jobs, 301, 302, and 303 is shown below:-

Overhead application rate = Budgeted Overhead ÷ Application Base

Application base = Budgeted Overhead ÷ Budgeted Direct Labor costs

= $318,000 ÷ $1,060,000

= 0.3

Overhead assignment to jobs = Budgeted rate × Labor Cost

Job 301

= 0.3 × $65,000

= $19,500

Job 302

= 0.3 × $90,000

= $27,000

Job 303

= 0.3 × $175,000

= $52,500

b. The computation of over- or underapplied manufacturing overhead for year 1 is shown below:-

Overhead applied for the year = Total direct labor cost × Overhead rate

= $834,000 × 0.3

= $250,200

Under-applied overhead = Actual overhead - Applied overhead

= $399,000 - $250,200

= $148,800

Mauro Products distributes a single product, a woven basket whose selling price is $16 per unit and whose variable expense is $12 per unit. The company’s monthly fixed expense is $9,200. Required: 1. Calculate the company’s break-even point in unit sales. 2. Calculate the company’s break-even point in dollar sales. (Do not round intermediate calculations.) 3. If the company's fixed expenses increase by $600, what would become the new break-even point in unit sales? In dollar sales?

Answers

Answer:

1. 2,300 units

2. $36,800

3. $39,200

Explanation:

The computation of company’s break-even point in unit sales is shown below:-

Break Even Point (Unit Sales) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution Margin Per Unit

= Fixed Cost ÷ (Sales Price Per Unit - Variable Expense Per Unit)

= $9,200 ÷ ($16 - $12)

= $9,200 ÷ $4

= 2,300 units

2. The computation of  break-even point in dollar sales is shown below:-

Break Even Point (Dollar Sales) = Break Even Units × Selling Price Per Unit

= $2,300 × $16

= $36,800

Contribution Margin Ratio = (Sales Price Per Unit - Variable Expense Per Unit ) ÷ Sales Per Unit × 100)

= ($16 - $12) ÷ $16 × 100

= $4 ÷ $16 × 100

= 25%

Break Even Sales = Fixed Expenses ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio

= $9,200 ÷ 25%

= $36,800

3. The computation of new break-even point in unit sales is shown below:-

Break Even Point (Unit Sales) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution Margin Per Unit

= Fixed Cost ÷ (Sales Price Per Unit - Variable Expense Per Unit)

= ($9,200 + $600) ÷ ($16 - $12)

= $9,800 ÷ $4

= 2,450 units

Break Even Point (Dollar Sales) = Break Even Units × Selling Price Per Unit

= 2,450 units × $16

= $39,200

SQ-AQ = 1440/SP

1440/SP + AQ = SQ

1440/1.8 + 6400 = SQ

SQ = 7200

[10 points] Suppose Wilwaukee Telecom offers its users the option of paying either (a) $2.00 per minute for telephone service or (b) a $125 flat charge for a year of unlimited toll-free calls. Consider a customer with an annual demand for telephone service of P = 11 – 0.1Q, where P is the price per minute and Q is the number of minutes of calls made per year. Calculate the consumer surplus for each of the plans (a) and (b).

Answers

Answer:

For plan A, P = 2.

Then from demand curve, 2 = 11-.1Q

So .1Q = 9

Q* = 90

B) under plan b, P = zero

So make 11 = .1Q

Q* = 110

Now Consumer surplus from a)

CS = .5*(11-2)*90 = ∆ABC

= .5*9*90 = 405

From b)

CS = .5*11*110 - 125 = ∆ ADE - fixed fee

= 605-125 = 480

TechSolvers produces 8-foot USB cables. During the past year, the company purchased 500,000 feet of plastic-coated wire at a price of $0.25 per foot. The direct materials standard for the cables allows 8.5 feet of wire at a standard price of $0.23. During the year, the company used a total of 535,000 feet of wire to produce 63,000 8-foot cables. Calculate TechSolvers’ direct materials quantity variance for the year. (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125. If variance is zero, select "Not Applicable" and enter 0 for the amounts.)

Answers

Answer:

$8050

Explanation:

The direct materials quantity variance is the difference between the standard cost and the actual quantity at standard price. This variance in quantity is as a result of the difference between the actual and expected quantity of materials used. The formula for direct materials quantity variance is given as:

Direct materials quantity variance = Standard Price x (Standard Quantity – Actual Quantity)

Given that: Standard Price = $0.23, Standard Quantity = 535000, Actual Quantity = 500000.

Direct materials quantity variance = $0.23 × (535000 - 500000) = $8050

Xerox Corporation is using a predetermined overhead rate of $22.30 per machine-hour that was based on estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead of $446,000 and 20,000 machine-hours for the period. The company incurred actual total fixed manufacturing overhead of $409,000 and 18,200 total machine-hours during the period. The amount of manufacturing overhead that would have been applied to all jobs during the period is closest to:

Answers

Answer:

$405,860

Explanation:

Data given

Predetermined overhead rate = $22.30

Actual machine hours  = $18,200

The computation of manufacturing overhead applied is shown below:-

Manufacturing overhead applied = Predetermined overhead rate × Actual machine hours

= $22.30 × 182,00

= $405,860

Therefore for computing the manufacturing overhead applied we simply multiplied the predetermined overhead rate with actual machine hours.

Royal Dutch Shell(RDS) acquires ethanol fuel from Brazilian Cosan energy company. The Ethanol costs 500 million Brazilian Real(BRL) to grow the corn and convert it to ethanol. RDS doesn't have BRL, so they must use the futures market to acquire the currency. If 1 BRL/USD futures contract is for 100,000 reals What is the optimal number of BRL/USD futures contracts for Shell to take to receive the entire amount of Real at delivery.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 5000 future contracts

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Royal Dutch buys ethanol fuel from Brazilian energy company

Nowm,

The Required coverage = 500,000,000

The BRL/USD futures contract size = 100,000

Number of contracts required = 500,000,000/100,000

So,

= 500,000,000/100,000  = 5000

Therefore, the optimal number of BRL/USD futures contracts for Shell to take to receive the entire amount of Real at delivery is 5000

Axelia Corporation has two​ divisions, Refining and Extraction. The​ company's primary product is Luboil Oil. Each​ division's costs are provided​ below: Extraction​: Variable costs per barrel of oil $ 12 Fixed costs per barrel of oil $ 4 Refining​: Variable costs per barrel of oil $ 27 Fixed costs per barrel of oil $ 30 The Refining Division has been operating at a capacity of 40 comma 200 barrels a day and usually purchases 26 comma 000 barrels of oil from the Extraction Division and 15 comma 900 barrels from other suppliers at $ 57 per barrel. What is the transfer price per barrel from the Extraction Division to the Refining​ Division, assuming the method used to place a value on each barrel of oil is 120​% of full​ costs? A. $ 82.80 B. $ 19.20 C. $ 46.00 D. $ 16.00

Answers

Answer:

Transfer price  = $19.2

Explanation:

The transfer price is the price at which goods are exchanged between the divisions of the same group.

The transfer price is stated to be 120% of the full cost

Full cost of extraction = Variable cost + fixed cost

                                      = $ 12 + $ 4 = $16 per barrel

Transfer price =   120%× $16 = $19.2

The correct answer to the following question will be Option C.

Explanation:

The time value of money seems to be the method used mostly for estimating the current value including all possible retained earnings. Those are classified underneath the strategies of capital budgeting.It's being used to know whether the project is feasible. It measures up the preliminary project expense to future revenues by reducing investment returns.

The other available scenarios have no connection with the particular circumstance. So option C seems to be the correct answer to that.

A Company manufactures coffee tables. The Company has a policy of adding a 20% markup to full costs and currently has excess capacity. The following information pertains to the company's normal operations per month: Output units 30,000 tables Machine-hours 6000 hours Direct manufacturing labor-hours 10,000 hours Direct materials per unit $50 Direct manufacturing labor per hour $12.00 Variable manufacturing overhead costs $322,500 Fixed manufacturing overhead costs $1,200,000 Product and process design costs $600,000 Marketing and distribution costs $1,290,000 For long-run pricing of the coffee tables, what price will most likely be used by the Company

Answers

Answer:

$201.30

Explanation:

Direct materials = $50

Total Direct manufacturing labor =  $12.00 * 10,000 = $120,000

Variable manufacturing overhead costs = $322,500

Fixed manufacturing overhead costs = $1,200,000

Product and process design costs = $600,000

Marketing and distribution costs = $1,290,000

Total cost apart from direct material = $120,000 + $322,500 + $1,200,000 + $600,000 + $1,290,000 = $3,532,500

Cost per unit apart from direct material = $3,532,500 / 30,000 = $117.75

Total cost per unit = $117.75 + $50 = $167.75

Mark up per unit = $167.75 * 20% = $33.55

Price per unit = $167.75 + $33.55 = $201.30

Answer: $201.30

Explanation:

To solve this all the expenses incurred per unit need to be included in the unit.

Direct Materials $50

Direct Manufacturing Labour Hours per unit

= (10,000/30,000 units) * 12 (direct Manufacturing Labour per hour)

= $4

Variable Manufacturing Overhead Cost

= 322,500/30,000

= $10.75

Fixed manufacturing overhead costs

= 1,200,000/30,000

= $40

Product and process design costs

= 600,000/30,000

= $20

Marketing and distribution costs

= 1,290,000/30,000

= $43

Adding everything up,

= 50 + 4 + 10.75 + 40 + 20 + 43

= $167.75

Company adds 20% to costs so,

= 167.75 * ( 1 + 20%)

= $201.30

Company will most likely sell at $201.30

Flesch Corporation produces and sells two products. In the most recent month, Product C90B had sales of $24,080 and variable expenses of $6,020. Product Y45E had sales of $26,660 and variable expenses of $13,330. The fixed expenses of the entire company were $23,200. If the sales mix were to shift toward Product C90B with total dollar sales remaining constant, the overall break-even point for the entire company:_________.

a. would not change.

b. would decrease.

c. would increase.

Answers

Answer: c. would increase

Explanation:

Given Data:

Sales of product C90B= $24,080

Variable expense = $6,020

Sales of Product Y45E = $26,660 Variable expenses = $13,330.

Fixed expenses of entire company = $23,200

Therefore:

Contribution Margin: Total Contribution ÷ Total Sales

Product C90B:

= $( 24,080 - 6,020 ) ÷ $24,080 * 100

= 75%

Product Y45E

= $( 26660 - 13330 ) ÷ $26660 * 100

= 50%

Since the contribution margin of product C90B is greater than Y45E, they would be an increase.

Which factors are relevant to the time a consumer spends looking at a product on the shelf prior to selection? The article "Effects of Base Price Upon Search Behavior of Consumers in a Supermarket" (J. Econ. Psycho., 2003: 637-652) reported the following data on elapsed time (sec) for fabric softener purchasers and washing-up liquid purchasers; the former product is significantly more expensive than the latter. These products were chosen because they are similar with respect to allocated shelf space and number of alternative brands. Calculate a 90% confidence interval for the true difference between the means for the two products.

Answers

Answer:

Shown below.

Explanation:

In this case we need to compute a 90% confidence interval for the true difference between the mean elapsed time (sec) for fabric softener purchasers and washing-up liquid purchasers.

It is provided that these products were chosen because they are similar with respect to allocated shelf space and number of alternative brands.

The (1 - α)% confidence interval for the true difference between the means, when the population standard deviations are not known, is given as follows:

[tex]CI=(\bar x_{1}-\bar x_{2})\pm t_{\alpha/2, (n_{1}+n_{2}-2)}\times S_{p}\times\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}}}[/tex]

Here,

[tex]\bar x_{1}=\text{sample mean for fabric softener purchasers}\\\bar x_{2}=\text{sample mean for washing-up liquid purchasers}\\S_{p}=\text{pooled standard deviation}[/tex]

The formula to compute the value of [pooled standard deviation is:

[tex]S_{p}=\sqrt{\frac{(n_{1}-1)s_{1}^{2}+(n_{2}-1)s_{2}^{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}-2}}[/tex]

A transferminuspricing method leads to goal congruence when​ ________.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is the option A: managers act in their own best interest and the decision in in the long-term.

Explanation:

To begin with, a transfer-pricing is a method used in the companies in order to achieve a sale from a product between one subsidiary to another within a company and is commonly used in situations where the subsidiaries of a parent company are measured as separate profit centers. And regarding the price, the manager of the subsidiary treats it the same way as it would be a sale of a product outside of the company. That is why that this method leads to the goal when the managers act in their own best interest.
