Answer:

Positive

b. Positive

c. Normative

d. Normative

e. Positive

Explanation:

Positive Economics is objective and statements are usually based on facts and economic theory. They can be tested.  

For example, there is a theory known as Phillips curve. It is when society faces a short-run trade-off between inflation and unemployment. Also it is known that lower tax increases disposable income which increases savings or consumption.

Normative economics is based value judgements, opinions and perspectives. For example, the statement - The Federal Reserve should reduce the rate of money growth is an opinion

Answers

Answer:

$5,095.10

Explanation:

The computation of the total monthly fixed overhead cost using the high-low method is given below:

But before that the variable cost per unit is

Variable cost per unit is

= [Total cost at highest level - Total cost at lowest level] ÷ [Highest level - Lowest level]

= ($8,921 - $7,841) ÷ (2,834 - 2,034)

= $1.35

Now

The total fixed cost for the month is

Lloyd is the CFO for a firm that uses ISOs as part of its executive compensation plan. He receives $150,000 annually, paid semimonthly, in base salary plus 25 shares of the firm's stock per month. The stock is omitted from gross pay calculations and is valued at $52.50 per share and he may exercise his option within five years at $0.10 per share. What is Lloyd's gross pay for mid-October

Answers

Answer:

Lloyd

Gross pay for mid-October is $6,250.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Annual base salary = $150,000

Bi-weekly base salary = $6,250 ($150,000/24)

ISO = 25 shares per month valued at $52.50 per share = $1,312.50

Bi-weekly ISO = $656.25 ($1,212.50/2)

Option exercise price = $0.10 per share

b) ISOs mean incentive stock options, which are performance-based compensations to company executives in the form of shares.

c) The calculation of the mid-October gross pay is based on the division of Lloyd's annual base salary by 12 months * 2 (24 mid-months).

Two different suppliers are competing to supply a particular part for a new Boeing airliner. The Japanese supplier charges J(n) dollars for n parts whereas the Italian supplier charges I(n) dollars for n parts. (a) Which supplier should be used to supply a large number of parts if

Answers

Answer:

Italian Supplier will be chosen to supply a Large number of parts.

Explanation:

Note: This question is incomplete and lacks necessary data to solve. However I have found the missing part of this question and will be using that to solve for the sake of understanding and concept.

Data Missing:

Which supplier should be used to supply a large number of parts if:

Lim (n--> infinity) [tex]\frac{J(n)}{I(n)} = 0?[/tex] Now, this condition was missing in the question, now we can solve this question.

Solution:

Here, we can see that, the limit of function is approaching to infinity, which indicates (n--> infinity) we want to make larger number of parts. So, we also know that Limit value of this function = 0.

It means that, numerator must be smallest  and the denominator must be largest to get the value = 0. And, here denominator = I(n) means Italian Supplier.

Otherwise, if we put larger values of numerator then, it is not possible to get the value of 0.

So, if we choose Italian supplier for a large number of parts, then the value of the Limit Function will be zero for it is approaching infinity.

Hence,

Italian Supplier will be chosen to supply a Large number of parts.

Martha is a regional supervisor who earns a base salary of $34,400 per year plus a 1% commission on all service contracts that she sells to existing customers. The company pays salaries on a semi monthly basis and contract commissions on a quarterly basis. As of September 30, Martha had made $38,200 in contract sales for the third quarter. What will be her gross pay on her next pay date

Answers

Answer:

Martha gross pay on her next pay date is $1,815.33.

Explanation:

This can be calculated as follows:

Number of semi months in a year = 24

Semi monthly salary = Salary per year / Number of semi months in a year = $34,400 / 24 = $1,433.33

Commission from contract sales for the third quarter = Contract sales for the third quarter * Commission percentage = $38,200 * 1% = $382

Martha gross pay on her next pay date = Semi monthly salary + Commission from contract sales for the third quarter = $1,433.33 + $382 = $1,815.33

Therefore, Martha gross pay on her next pay date is $1,815.33.

c. Assume Erwin and Eleanor have adjusted gross income of $85,000, no tax-exempt interest, and $15,000 of Social Security benefits. As a result, $ of the Social Security benefits are taxable.

Answers

Answer:

a. Erwin and Eleanor are married and file a joint tax return. They have adjusted gross income of $36,000, no tax-exempt interest, and $12,400 of Social Security benefits. As a result, $ of the Social Security benefits are taxable.

Since their income is between $32,000 to $44,000, they have to pay income for 50% of their social security benefits = $12,400 x 50% = $6,200

b. Assume Erwin and Eleanor have adjusted gross income of $12,000, no tax-exempt interest, and $16,000 of Social Security benefits. As a result, $ of the Social Security benefits are taxable.

Since their income is below $32,000, their social security benefits will not be taxed.

c. Assume Erwin and Eleanor have adjusted gross income of $85,000, no tax-exempt interest, and $15,000 of Social Security benefits. As a result, $ of the Social Security benefits are taxable.

Since their income is higher than $44,000, they have to pay income for 85% of their social security benefits = $15,000 x 85% = $12,750

Answers

Answer:

$9,156

Explanation:

Income = (Sales-expenses) + $10,000

Income = ($1,670,200 - $1,536,600) + $10,000

Total income = $143,600

Tax = Income * Tax Rate = $143,600 * 0.21 = $30,156

Now, total taxes payable is $30,156,but they estimated that payment to be $21,000, So company C has reserved $21,000 for future tax payments

So, Net deferred tax payable = $30,156 - $21,000 = $9,156. Therefore, ending balance of taxes payable on the 20X1 balance sheet is $9,156.

b.China buys raw materials such as iron ore from Brazil.
c.Brazilian companies invest heavily in the housing industry in the country.
d.Chinese companies invest in Brazilian industry.

Answers

I think it’s B but somebody correct me if I’m
Wrong

A good example of Brazil undertaking importation is A. Brazil buys made-in-China products.

The products are made in China and imported into Brazil by businesses, institutions, and individuals resident in Brazil.

Importation does not involve the following options:

Option b, whereby "China buys raw materials such as iron ore from Brazil."  For Brazil, this is an export.

Option c, whereby "Brazilian companies invest heavily in the housing industry in the country."  This is domestic investment for Brazil.

Option d, whereby "Chinese companies invest in Brazilian industry."  This is known Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).

Thus, when Brazilian persons import products and services from another country, they are classified as imports and not exports or domestic investments.

The company observed that at 20,000 machine hours of activity, total maintenance costs averaged $10.50 per hour. When activity jumped to 24,000 machine hours, which was still within the relevant range, the average total cost per machine hour was $9.75. On the basis of this information, the company's fixed maintenance costs were:

Answers

Answer:

Total fixed cost element = $90000

Explanation:

To calculate the fixed maintenance cost, first we will use the high-low method to calculate the element of average variable maintenance cost per machine hour in the average total maintenance cost.

The value of highest activity = 24000 * 9.75 = $234000

The value of lowest activity = 20000 * 10.5 = $210000

Average VC per MH = (234000 - 210000) / (24000 - 20000)

Average VC per MH = $6 per machine hour

Total Average variable cost (24000 MH) = 6 * 24000 = $144000

Total fixed cost element = 234000 - 144000 = $90000

1. Calculate the cost of goods available for sale and
2. the units available for sale for this four week period.

Answers

Answer:

1. $3,180

2. 50 units

Explanation:

1. Calculation for the cost of goods available for sale

Beginning Inventory 10units *$60= $600

Week 1 purchase 10 units*$61=$ 610

Week 2 purchase 10units* $62=$ 620

Week 3 purchase 10 units*$65= 650

Week 4 purchase 10units*$70= $700

Cost of goods available for sale =$3,180

($600+$610+$620+$650+$700)

Therefore the cost of goods available for sale will be $3,180

2. Calculation for the units available for sale for this four week period.

Units available for sale =10 units+10 units+10 units+10 units+10 units

Units available for sale=50 units

Therefore the units available for sale for this four week period will be 50 units

Green Valley Exporters USA has $100,000 of before tax foreign income. The host country has a corporate income tax rate of 25% and the U.S. has a corporate income tax rate of 35%. If the U.S. has a bilateral trade agreement with the host country that calls for the total tax paid to be equal to the maximum amount that could be paid in the highest taxing country, what is the total amount of income taxes Green Valley Exporters will pay to the host country, and how much will they pay in U.S income taxes on the foreign earned income

Answers

Answer:

Amount paid in host country will be = Income * Tax rate in host country = $100,000*25% = $25,000

Amount paid in US will be Income * Tax rate in US - Tax paid in host country (Since the tax rate in host country is lower than USA) = $100,000*35% - $25,000 = $35,000 - $25,000 = $10,000

A company purchased $10,700 of merchandise on June 15 with terms of 2/10, n/45, and FOB shipping point. The freight charge, $850, was added to the invoice amount. On June 20, it returned $1360 of that merchandise. On June 24, it paid the balance owed for the merchandise taking any discount it is entitled to. The cash paid on June 24 equals:______

a. $10,003.
b. $9,224.
c. $11,550.
d. $11,210.
e. $11,11Ο.

Answers

Answer:

a. $10,003.

Explanation:

The terms of 2/10, n/45 means that there is a 2% discount if the payment is made within 10 days of the sales date and rhe net credit period is 45 days.

Calculate total invoice value

Total Invoice value = Merchandise value + Freight Charges = $10,700 + $850 = $11,550

As the payment is made on June 24 within the discount period, the discount will be availed

Discount = ( Purchases made - Returns ) x 2% = ( $10,700 - $1,360 ) x 2% = $186.80 = $187

Now the Amount paid

Amount Paid = Invoice value - Return - Discount avaialed = $11,550 - $1360 - 187 = $10,003

Over the past decade, many American candy companies have opened factories in Mexico and Canada to produce candy. The companies, including Hershey Company, Brach's Confections, and Ferrara Pan, then ship candy back to the United States for sale. Although lower wages in Mexico might explain part of this move, wages in Canada are comparable to U.S. wages. Price floors (price supports) for the sugar industry encouraged American candy companies to move production out of the United States. Describe how the enactment of a sugar price floor impacted the market for candy in the United States, resulting in the movement of manufacturing.

Answers

Answer:

The sugar industry in the US is very powerful and has been able to establish trade barriers and import quotas that affect domestic prices. Sugar prices in the US are extremely high compared to prices in any other country, including Canada, Mexico, China, European nation, i.e. American sugar is the most expensive in the world.

Besides imposing trade barriers, the government also imposes a binding price floor. Binding price floors always result in deadweight losses since the quantity demanded is lower than equilibrium. This is why American candy manufacturers move their production overseas. the highest cost in the candy industry is actually sugar, and wherever they decide to relocate their factories it will always be cheaper.

Michael won the Powerball jackpot of 57 million dollars. He has two options to collect the cash: (a) 30-year annuities (first payment one year from today) which future value equates the jackpot amount given that the prevailing interest rate is 8% per year; (b) a single payment now, corresponding to the present value of those 30-year annuities. Michael has big plans, hence he prefers option (b). Assuming that there are no taxes, how much money will he be able to collect now

Answers

Answer:

$5,664,627.53

Explanation:

future value of the annuity = $57 million

interest rate = 8%

number of periods = 30

FV annuity factor, 8%, 30 periods = 113.283

annual payment = future value / FV annuity factor= $57,000,000 / 113.283 = $503,164.64

the present value of an annuity = annual payments x PV annuity factor

PV annuity factor, 30 periods, 8% = 11.258

present value of the annuity = $503,164.64 x 11.258 = $5,664,627.53

Alexa and Maya, married and filing joint income tax returns, derive their entire income from the operation of their retail candy shop. Their 2019 adjusted gross income was $50,000. They itemize their deductions on Schedule-A for 2019. The following unreimbursed cash expenditures were among those made by them during 2019: State income tax $1,200 Self-employment tax $7,650 What amount should they deduct for taxes on Schedule-A for 2019

Answers

Answer:

Alexa and Maya

The amount that they should deduct for taxes on Schedule A for 2019 is:

= $5,025.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Adjusted gross income = $50,000

State income tax = $1,200

Self-employment tax = $7,650

Amount they should deduct for taxes on Schedule A for 2019:

State income tax = $1,200

50% of Self-employment tax = $3,825 ($7,650 * 50%)

Total = $5,025

b) Taxpayers who itemize deductions on their federal income tax returns can deduct 50% of self-employment tax and 100% of state and local real estate and personal property taxes, as well as either income taxes or general sales taxes.  Note that state and local taxes have been deductible since the inception of the federal income tax in 1913.

Cost of Units Transferred Out and Ending Work in Process The costs per equivalent unit of direct materials and conversion in the Filling Department of Eve Cosmetics Company are $0.95 and $2.90, respectively. The equivalent units to be assigned costs are as follows: Equivalent Units Direct Materials Conversion Inventory in process, beginning of period 0 5,000 Started and completed during the period 63,000 63,000 Transferred out of Filling (completed) 63,000 68,000 Inventory in process, end of period 4,000 1,200 Total units to be assigned costs 67,000 69,200 The beginning work in process inventory had a cost of $3,250. Determine the cost of completed and transferred-out production and the ending work in process inventory. If required, round to the nearest dollar.

Answers

Answer:

Cost of completed and transferred-out production = $260,300Cost of Ending inventory = $7,280

Explanation:

Costs per equivalent unit of direct materials and conversion are $0.95 and $2.90, respectively.

Cost of completed and transferred-out production:

Units Transferred out of Filling (completed):

Direct materials = 63,000

Conversion = 68,000

= Cost of completed and transferred materials + cost of conversion and transferred + beginning inventory

= (63,000 * 0.95) + (68,000 * 2.90) + 3,250

= ‭59,850‬ + ‭197,200‬ + 3,250

= ‭$‭260,300‬

Cost of Ending inventory:

Inventory in process, end of period

Direct materials = 4,000

Conversion = 1,200

= (4,000 * 0.95) + (1,200 * 2.90)

= $‭7,280‬

E. S190.00

Answers

Answer:

a. $247.50

Explanation:

As bonds are semi annual, every 6 months interest payment will be mad

Face value = 1000

Coupon rate = 8.25%

Number of bonds = 6

Interest payment = 1000 * 8.25% * (6/12) * 6

Interest payment = $247.50

So, the amount i will receive as the next interest payment is $247.50.
