The market for agricultural products is perfectly competitive
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
Consumers demand in perfect competition is elastic
If prices increases, the demand curve shifts downward by exactly the increase in price

• After government intervention, default decreases, yield decreases, price of AIG increases

On November 12, 2013, Berube Co. repurchased 10,000 shares of its own stock at a price of $20 per share. Berube had originally issued the stock in 2010 at a price of $15 per share.Which of the following items would be decreased by the stock repurchase transaction? (check all that apply)a. Total Shareholders Equity.b. Total Assets.c. Cash from Financing Activities.d. Total Liabilities.e. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.
Answer:
Berube Co.
The items that would be decreased by the stock repurchase transaction are:
b. Total Assets.
c. Cash from Financing Activities.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
November 12, 2013: Repurchase of 10,000 shares at a price of $20 per share = $200,000 (10,000 * $20)
b) The treasury stock repurchase decreases the cash from financing activities by $200,000. This also reduces the Total Assets in the form of cash used in the repurchase. The opposite becomes the case when treasury stock is sold. Cash from financing activities is increased just as the Total Assets are increased.

2.0 Points
Income earned by the business from activities unrelated to its primary operations would be
classified as........ in the statement that measures its performance for a particular period.
Answer:
This type of income is known as non-operating income in the financial statements
Explanation:
Non-operating income, as the world implies, is the income that a firm earns from activities that are not related to its main economic activity. An example would be a mall, whose main activity is the rental and management of commercial real estate, earning some income from short-term investments in the secondary market. This interest would be reported as non-operating income, and would be treated as such for financial, accounting, and tax purposes.

Julie evaluated her spending and found that she was spending about $75 more per month on transportation than she has bodgeted She can transfer money from other categories to increase transportation budget to $250 per month If her total monthly income S1,900 , to the nearest percent, what percent of her monthly income will be budgeted for transportation
Answer:
Julie
The percent of her monthly income that will be budgeted for transportation is:
= 13%.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Amount budgeted for transportation = $175
Amount being spent on transportation = $250
Total monthly income = $1,900
Percentage of monthly income that will be budgeted for transportation = $250/$1,900 * 100
= 13.16%
= 13.2%
= 13%
Percentage of monthly income earlier budgeted for transportation = 9% ($175/$1,900 * 100)
The additional spending on transportation represents 4% ($75/$1,900 * 100)
New percentage spending on transportation = 13% (9% + 4%)

A company has two departments, Y and Z that incur wage expenses. An analysis of the total wage expense of $43,000 indicates that Dept. Y had a direct wage expense of $6,800 and Dept. Z had a direct wage expense of $10,700. The remaining expenses are indirect and analysis indicates they should be allocated evenly between the two departments. Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Y and Dept. Z, respectively, are:
Answer:
$19,550 and $10,250
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Y and Dept. Z, respectively, are:
First step is to calculate the Indirect wages
Indirect wages = [43,000 - (6800+10700)]/2
Indirect wages= 43,000-17500/2
Indirect wages=24,500/2
Indirect wages = 12,750
Now let calculate Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Y and Dept. Z,
Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Y
=6800 + 12,750
Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Y = $19,550
Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Z=10,700 + 12,750
Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Z= 23450
Therefore Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Y and Dept. Z, respectively, are:$19,550 and $10,250

Problem: Show the effects of the events on the fianncial statements using a horizontal statement model.
Answer:
The accounting equation therefore holds as follows:
Total assets = Total liabilities + Total Stockholders’ Equity = $51,800
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the horizontal statement model showing the effects of the events on the financial statements.
The following calculations are made in the attached excel:
For Event 7, we have:
Office supplies = Amount of office supplies purchased - Office supplies remained on hand = $2,800 - $200 = $2,600
For Event 8, we have:
Amount of revenue that is recognized = Number of months from April 1 to December 31 * (Amount accepted on April 1 / Number of months in year) = 9 * ($36,000 /12) = 9 * $3,000 = $27,000
Also, the following can be obtained from the attached excel file:
Total assets = $51,600 + $200 = $51,800
Total liabilities = $400 + $9,000 = $9,400
Total Stockholders’ Equity = $42,400
Total liabilities + Total Stockholders’ Equity = $9,400 + $42,400 = $51,800
The accounting equation therefore holds as follows:
Total assets = Total liabilities + Total Stockholders’ Equity = $51,800
Holo Company reported the following financial numbers for one of its divisions for the year; average total assets of $5,800,000; sales of $5,375,000; cost of goods sold of $3,225,000; and operating expenses of $1,147,000. Compute the division's return on investment:
Answer:
17.30%
Explanation:
The computation of the return on investment is shown below
But before that the net income is
Sales $5,375,000
Less: COGS -$3,225,000
Less: Operating Expenses -$1,147,000
Net Income $1,003,000
Now
Return on Investment is
= Net Income × 100 ÷ Average Assets
= $1,003,000 × 100 ÷ $5,800,000
= 17.30%

Consider two firms producing smartphones. Firm A uses a highly automated robotics process, while Firm B uses human workers on an assembly line and pays overtime when there is heavy production demand. Firm A and B have a similar amount of financial leverage. Which firm will have a higher beta
Answer:
The firm that will have a higher beta is:
Firm B.
Explanation:
The question here is which firm is more volatile. Since they have a similar amount of financial leverage, Firm B which uses more human workers on its assembly line and pays overtime will appear to be more volatile than Firm A with a highly automated robotics process. Firm B faces risks of labor strikes and other vagaries associated with the use of more labor than the market.
