3. The price elasticity of demand for wine is estimated to be 1 at all possible quantities. Currently, 200 million gallons of wine are sold per year, and the price averages $6 per bottle. Assuming that the price elasticity of supply of wine is 1 and the current tax rate is $1 per bottle, calculate the current excess burden of the tax on wine. Suppose the tax per bottle is increased to $2 per bottle. What will happen to the excess burden of the tax as a result of the tax increase
Answer:
The excess burden would quadruple to $33,333
Explanation:
In order to calculate the excess burden as a result of the tax increase, we first calculate the excess burden at current tax rate which is $1 per bottle. Excess burden is calculated using the following formulae:
W = 1/2(T)²(Q/P) x (Es x Ed / (Es - Ed))
where:
T = Tax per unit
Q = Total Quantity
P = Price per unit
Es = Elasticity of Supply
Ed = Elasticity of Demand
W = 1/2(1)² (200,000/6) x (1 x 1 / (1 - (-1)))
W = 1/2 (33.333) x (1/2)
W = $8,333
Now after-tax rate goes up to $2, the excess burden would as follow:
W = 1/2(2)² (200,000/6) x (1 x 1 / (1 - (-1)))
W = 2 (33.333) x (1/2)
W = $33,333 per year
Hence, the excess burden is $33,333 after the increase in tax.

Paint brushes 100 4.00 4.50 4.00 400
Inventory amount (LCNRV rule applied to individual products) $5,800
Inventory amount (LCNRV rule applied to product categories)
Tools: Cost value = (100 * $5) + (200 * $10) + (300 * $2) = $3,100
NRV value = (100 * $5.50) + (200 * $9) + (300 * $2.60) = $3,130
LCNRV = $3,100 for tools
Paint products: Cost value = (500 * $6) + (100 * $4) = $3,400
NRV value = (500 * $5) + (100 * $4.50) = $2,950
LCNRV = $2,950 for paint products
Total LCNRV = $6,050 ($3,100 + $2,950)
Inventory amount (LCNRV rule applied to total inventory):
Cost value = (100 * $5) + (200 * $10) + (300 * $2) + (500 * $6) + (100 * $4)

Becton Labs, Inc., produces various chemical compounds for industrial use. One compound, called Fludex, is prepared using an elaborate distilling process. The company has developed standard costs for one unit of Fludex, as follows:
Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost
Direct materials 2.40 ounces $27.00 per ounce $64.80
Direct labor 0.60 hours $12.00 per hour 7.20
Variable manufacturing overhead 0.60 hours $3.50 per hour 2.10
Total standard cost per unit $74.10
During November, the following activity was recorded related to the production of Fludex
a. Materials purchased, 13,000 ounces at a cost of $330,200
b. There was no beginning inventory of materials; however, at the end of the month, 2,850 ounces of material remained in ending inventory
c. The company employs 20 lab technicians to work on the production of Fludex. During November, they each worked an average 160 hours at an average pay rate of $11.00 per hour
d. Variable manufacturing overhead is assigned to Fludex on the basis of direct labor-hours. Variable manufacturing overhead during November totaled $6,000
e. During November, the company produced 4,200 units of Fludex.
Required
1. For direct materials:
a. Compute the price and quantity variances
b. The materials were purchased from a new supplier who is anxious to enter into a long-term purchase contract. Would you recommend that the company sign the contract?
2. For direct labor:
a. Compute the rate and efficiency variances
b. In the past, the 20 technicians employed in the production of Fludex consisted of 7 senior technicians and 13 assistants. Durin November, the company experimented with fewer senior technicians and more assistants in order to reduce labor costs. Woulc recommend that the new labor mix be continued?
3. Compute the variable overhead rate and efficiency variances
Answer:
Becton Labs, Inc.
1. Direct materials:
a. Price variance
= $20,600 Favorable
Quantity variance
= $1,890 Unfavorable
b. The company can sign the contract provided it is made clear to the new supplier that price variations would not be welcome shortly after signing the contract, but will depend on the market realities.
2. Direct labor:
a. Direct labor rate and efficiency variances:
Direct labor rate variance
= $3,200 Favorable
Efficiency variance
= $8,160 Unfavorable
b. I would not recommend that the new labor mix be continued. The old mix may be working better because the labor efficiency cost increased with the new mix labor mix.
3. The variable overhead rate and efficiency variances:
Variable overhead rate variance
= $5,200 Favorable
Variable overhead efficiency variance
= $2,380 Unfavorable
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Standard Costs for 1 Unit of Fludex:
Standard Standard Standard Cost
Quantity or Hours Price or Rate
Direct materials 2.40 ounces $27.00 per ounce $64.80
Direct labor 0.60 hours $12.00 per hour 7.20
Variable manufacturing
overhead 0.60 hours $3.50 per hour 2.10
Total standard cost per unit $74.10
Activities recorded during November:
a. Materials purchased = 13,000 ounces at $330,300
Each ounce = $25.41 (330,300/13,000)
b. Materials used for production = 10,150 ounces (13,000 - 2,850)
Standard materials = 4,200 * 2.40 = 10,080 ounces
c. Direct labor hours = 20 * 160 = 3,200 hours
Standard labor hours = 0.60 * 4,200 = 2,520
Average labor rate = $11.00 per hour
Direct labor costs = $35,200 ($11.00 * 3,200)
d. Standard variable overhead = $11,200 (3,200 *$3.50)
Actual overhead incurred = $6,000
Actual overhead rate = $1.43 ($6,000/4,200)
e. Units produced = 4,200
1. Direct materials:
a. Price variance = (Actual price - standard price)* Actual units
= ($25.41 - $27.00)13,000 = $20,600 F
Quantity variance = (Actual quantity - Standard quantity) Standard Cost
= (10,150 - 10,080) * $27.00
= $1,890 U
b. The company can sign the contract provided it is made clear to the new supplier that price variations would not be welcome shortly after signing the contract, but will depend on the market realities.
2. Direct labor:
a. Direct labor rate and efficiency variances:
Direct labor rate variance = (Actual rate - Standard rate) * Actual hours
= ($11 - $12) * 3,200 = $3,200 Favorable
Efficiency variance = (Actual hours - Standard hours) * Standard rate
= (3,200 - 2,520) * $12
= $8,160 Unfavorable
b. I would not recommend that the new labor mix be continued. The old may be working better because the labor efficiency cost increased.
3. The variable overhead rate and efficiency variances:
Variable overhead rate variance = Actual costs − (AH × SR)
= $6,000 - (3,200 * $3.50)
= $6,000 - $11,200
= $5,200 Favorable
Variable overhead efficiency variance = (AH − SH) × SR
= (3,200 - 2,520) * $3.50
= $2,380 Unfavorable

g The effect on revenue due to a marginal increase in the input is called the marginal revenue product. Match the statements below with the appropriate type of market structure a firm operates in. The marginal revenue product of the input x is lower than the value of the marginal product of that input (price times marginal product). This statement is true for a
Answer:
Statement true for Imperfect Competition Markets
Explanation:
Marginal Revenue Product is additional revenue due to hiring of additional input, it is product of marginal product & marginal revenue = MP x MR
Value Marginal Product is money value of additional production with additional input, product of marginal product (MP) & price (AR), = MP x AR
Input demand curves are derived demand curves, derived from demand of final goods. In perfect competition, demand is perfectly inelastic & horizontal, AR = MR, so MRP = VMP in this case. In imperfect competition market (oligopoly, monopoly etc) - MR < AR, so MRP < VMP in this case.
Parker Company pays each member of its sales staff a salary as well as a commission on
each unit sold. For the coming year, Parker plans to increase all salaries by 5% and to keep
unchanged the commission paid on each unit sold. Because of increased demand, Parker
expects the volume of sales to increase by 10%. How will the total cost of sales salaries and
commissions change for the coming year?
A. Increase by 5% or less.
B. Increase by more than 5% but less than 10%.
Answer: B is correct
Explanation:
Sales salaries will increase by exactly 5%. The per-unit commission amount will remain constant, but sales commissions in total are expected to increase by 10%. Thus, total sales salaries and commissions will increase somewhere between 5% and 10%.

Suppose Kevin and Maria are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action Left or Right. The payoff matrix that follows shows the payoff each person will earn as a function of both of their choices. For example, the lower-right cell shows that if Kevin chooses Right and Maria chooses Right, Kevin will receive a payoff of 7 and Maria will receive a payoff of 6.
Maria
Left Right
Kevin Left 4, 3 6, 4
Right 6, 7 7, 6
The only dominant strategy in this game is for ___________ to choose ______________ The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Kevin chooses _______________ and Maria chooses _____________
Answer:
The only dominant strategy in this game is for Kelvin to choose right. The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Kevin chooses right and Maria chooses left.
Explanation:
A dominant strategy can described as a strategy that makes a player better off no matter his or her opponent in a game chooses.
In the game in the question, when Kelvin plays left, it best for Maria to play right because 4 > 3. But when Kelvin plays right, Maria will play left because 7 > 6. Therefore, there is no particular strategy that will make Maria better off. This implies Maria has no dominant strategy.
On the other hand, when Maria plays left, Kelvin will play right because 6 > 4. And when Maria plays right, Kelvin will still also play right because 7 > 6. This implies that no matter what Maria plays, Kelvin will always be better off by playing right. Therefore, the dominant strategy for Kelvin is right.
The implication of the above analysis in that the only dominant strategy in this game is for Kelvin to choose Right.
The only dominant strategy in this game is for Kelvin to choose right. The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Kevin chooses right and Maria chooses left.
emiannual coupon bonds with the same risk (Aaa) and maturity (20 years) as your company's bonds have a nominal (not EAR) yield to maturity of 9%. Your company's treasurer is thinking of issuing, at par, some $1,000 par value, 20-year, quarterly payment bonds. She has asked you to determine what quarterly interest payment, in dollars, the company would have to set in order to provide the same effective annual rate (EAR) as those on the 20-year, semiannual payment bonds. What would the quarterly, dollar interest payment be
Answer:
quarterly coupon payment = $22.25
Explanation:
effective annual interest rate of current bonds = (1 + 9%/2)² - 1 = 9.2025%
if the new bonds will have quarterly payments, then the nominal interest rate should be:
1.092025 = (1 + r/4)⁴
⁴√1.092025 = ⁴√(1 + r/4)⁴
1.02225 = 1 + r/4
0.02225 = r/4
r = 8.9% annual
quarterly rate = 2.225%
quarterly coupon payment = $22.25

Tax laws permit installment sales, which are recognized in the year of sale for financial reporting purposes, to be reported in the tax return later when cash is received. This results in a deferred tax liability because taxable income is _______ than financial income in the year of sale, and _______ than financial income in later years when collected. Multiple choice question. higher; lower higher; higher lower; lower lower; higher
Answer:
lower; higher.
Explanation:
Taxation can be defined as the involuntary or compulsory fees levied on individuals or business entities by the government to generate revenues used for funding public institutions and activities.
The different types of tax include the following;
1. Income tax: a tax on the money made by workers in the state. This type of tax is paid by employees with respect to the amount of money they receive as their wages or salary.
2. Property tax: a tax based on the value of a person's home or business. It is mainly taxed on physical assets or properties such as land, building, cars, business, etc.
3. Sales tax: a tax that is a percent of the price of goods sold in retail stores. It is being paid by the consumers (buyers) of finished goods and services and then, transfered to the appropriate authorities by the seller.
Generally, installment sales are permitted or allowed by the tax laws in a country. Typically, they are recognized in the year of sale for the purpose of financial reporting. Also, installment sales for any goods or services are to be reported in the tax return, at a later time when cash is received from the customer (buyer).
This results in a deferred tax liability because taxable income is lower than financial income in the year of sale, and higher than financial income in later years when collected.

Machine A could be purchased for $27,000. It will last 10 years with annual maintenance costs of $900 per year. After 10 years the machine can be sold for $2,835.
Machine B could be purchased for $22,500. It also will last 10 years and will require maintenance costs of $3,600 in year three, $4,500 in year six, and $5,400 in year eight. After 10 years, the machine will have no salvage value.
Required: Assume an interest rate of 8% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that maintenance costs are paid at the end of each year. Calculate the present value of Machine A & Machine B. Which machine Esquire should purchase?
Answer: Esquire should purchase Machine B because it has a lower present value.
Explanation:
Present value cost of Machine A:
= Initial investment + Present value of costs - Present value of sales amount
Present value of cost = 900 * Present value annuity factor, 10 years, 8%
= 900 * 6.7101
= $6,039
Present value of sales amount = 2,835 / (1 + 8%)¹⁰
= $1,313.15
Present value cost = 27,000 + 6,039 - 1,313.15
= $31,725.85
Present value of Machine B:
= 22,500 + 3,600 / 1.08³ + 4,500 / 1.08⁶ + 5,400 / 1.08⁸
= 30,198.18
Esquire should purchase Machine B

On January 1, 2020, Doone Corporation acquired 80 percent of the outstanding voting stock of Rockne Company for $448,000 consideration. At the acquisition date, the fair value of the 20 percent noncontrolling interest was $112,000, and Rockne's assets and liabilities had a collective net fair value of $560,000. Doone uses the equity method in its internal records to account for its investment in Rockne. Rockne reports net income of $170,000 in 2021. Since being acquired, Rockne has regularly supplied inventory to Doone at 25 percent more than cost. Sales to Doone amounted to $230,000 in 2020 and $330,000 in 2021. Approximately 30 percent of the inventory purchased during any one year is not used until the following year.
Requied:
a. What is the noncontrolling interest's share of Rockne's 2021 income?
b. Prepare Doone's 2021 consolidation entries required by the intra-entity inventory transfers
Answer:
(A). $32,800
(B). Entries are shown below.
Explanation:
(A) According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
Net income of Rockne Company in 2021 = $170,000
Unrealized profit 2020 = $230,000 × 30% × 20% = $13,800
Unrealized profit 2021 = $330,000 × 30% × 20% = $19,800
So, Total income = $170,000 + $13,800 - $19,800 = $164,000
Now, noncontrolling interest's share of Rockne's 2021 income can be calculated as follows,
NCI share of Rockne's 2021 income = Total income × 20%
= $164,000 × 20%
= $32,800
(B). Journal entries for the given data are as follows,
1. Retained Earnings A/c Dr. $13,800
To, COG sold A/c. $13,800
( Being event *G entry is recorded)
2. Sales A/c Dr. $330,000
To, COG sold A/c. $330,000
( Being event TI entry is recorded)
3. COG sold A/c Dr. $19,800
To, Inventory A/c. $19,800

A CFO of a start-up company is evaluating the timing of a significant capital expenditure. He was previously at a mature company that used a discount rate of 8% so he used the same rate at the start-up company. Which of the following would be impacted if the discount rate were raised to reflect the risk of the start-up company?
a) Internal rate of return
b) Payback period
c) Return on investment
d) Net present value
Answer:
d) Net present value
Explanation:
The net present value is the value that shows the difference between the initial investment present value and the cash flows present value. If the present value cash flows is more than the initial investment present value so the project should be accepted else rejected
So here in the given situation, the net present value would be effected in the case when the discount rate would be raised in order to present the start up company risk
Hence, the option d is correct
You are the manager of a small pharmaceutical company that received a patent on a new drug three years ago. Despite strong sales ($125 million last year) and a low marginal cost of producing the product ($0.40 per pill), your company has yet to show a profit from selling the drug. This is, in part, due to the fact that the company spent $2 billion developing the drug and obtaining FDA approval. An economist has estimated that, at the current price of $1.20 per pill, the own price elasticity of demand for the drug is -1.5. Based on this information, what can you do to boost profits?
Answer: Reduce the price of the drug
Explanation:
The own price elasticity of a good shows how much its quantity demanded will change as a result of an increase in price.
A -1.5 own price elasticity means that if the price of the drug is reduced by 1%, quantity demanded will increase by 1.5%.
The company is incurring a relatively low marginal cost of $0.40 to produce the pills and charges $1.20. If they can reduce this price by 17% for example, to $1, they would still make a profit and the demand for the pill would increase by 25.5%.
Scenario.
A hundred people were buying the drug at $1.20. Revenue:
= 100 * 1.20
= $120
Reduce price to $1 and 25.5% more people buy:
= 1 * (100 * 1.255)
= $125.50
Profit will increase by $5.50 proving that to boost profits, you should reduce prices.

savings rate - The percentage of disposable income that is kept as personal savings
Savings rate is simply the percentage of income that is left for saving. If a person earns 1,000 and saves 200, the savings rate is 20%.
interest rate - The reward a saver expects on loaned funds
The interest rate is the price of borrowing. The loaner accepts to give temporary control of his or her money to another person, in exchange for an extra payment, the interest rate.
dissaving - The result of consumption exceeding income over a particular period
Dissaving occurs when people spend more than they earn. Dissaving can be very harmful not only for household economies, but also for the economy as a whole, because it does not allow investment to flourish, and could lead to actual destruction of wealth via overconsumption.
