Efficient private provision of pure public goods is difficult because too much will be demanded as each consumer is forced to buy his or her own units of the public good too little will be demanded because private provision leads to higher marginal costs than public provision. too much will be produced as fi rms compete with each other for the public’s dollars. too little will be demanded as, individually, consumers choose not to pay the full cost of units of the good.
Answer:
too little will be demanded as, individually, consumers choose not to pay the full cost of units of the good.
Explanation:
Factors of production can be defined as the fundamental building blocks used by individuals or business firms for the manufacturing of finished goods and services in order to meet the unending needs and requirements of their customers.
The four factors of production are;
I. Land: this refers to the natural resources and raw materials extracted from the ground or grown in the soil e.g oil, gold, rubber, cocoa, etc.
II. Labor (working): this is the human capital or workers who are saddled with the responsibility of overseeing and managing all the aspects of production.
III. Capital resources: it includes the physical assets used for production of goods and services such as equipment, money, plant, etc.
IV. Entrepreneurship: it is intellectual capacity required to drive a business and the skills to develop an idea into a money making venture (business).
These four (4) factors of production when combined effectively and efficiently are used for the manufacturing or production of goods and services that meets the unending requirements or needs of the consumers.
Circular flow model is an economic model that is used by economists to show or demonstrate how money, goods and services move from one economic agent to another such as producer, workers, wholesaler, retailer and consumers (households).
An efficient private provision of pure public goods is difficult because too little will be demanded as, individually, consumers choose not to pay the full cost of units of the good.
Haver Company currently produces component RX5 for its sole product. The current cost per unit to manufacture the required 69,000 units of RX5 follows. Direct materials $ 5.00 Direct labor 9.00 Overhead 10.00 Total costs per unit $ 24.00 Direct materials and direct labor are 100% variable. Overhead is 80% fixed. An outside supplier has offered to supply the 69,000 units of RX5 for $19.00 per unit. Required: 1. Determine the total incremental cost of making 69,000 units of RX5. 2. Determine the total incremental cost of buying 69,000 units of RX5. 3. Should the company make or buy RX5
Answer:
It is cheaper to make the units in-house. The company will save $207,000.
Explanation:
Giving the following formula:
Production:
Direct materials $ 5.00
Direct labor 9.00
Varaible overhead= 10 - 8= $2
Total fixed overhead= (10*0.8)*69,000= $621,000
Direct materials and direct labor are 100% variable.
Overhead is 80% fixed.
An outside supplier has offered to supply the 69,000 units of RX5 for $19.00 per unit.
I will assume that none of the fixed overhead is avoidable.
First, we need to calculate the incremental cost of making 69,000 units. As it is incremental, we will take into account only the variable costs:
Make in-house:
Total variable cost= 69,000*(5 + 9 + 2)= $1,104,000
Now, the total cost of buying:
Buy:
Total cost= 69,000*19= $1,311,000
It is cheaper to make the units in-house. The company will save $207,000.
The selling price per unit is $3,500. The budgeted level of production used to calculate the budgeted fixed manufacturing cost per unit is 1,400 units. There are no price, efficiency, or spending variances. Any pro- duction-volume variance is written off to cost of goods sold in the month in which it occurs. 360 CHAPTER 9 INVENTORY COSTING AND CAPACITY ANALYSIS 1.

Net operating income $1,797,500 $1,899,875 $2,036,310
2. The difference in the operating incomes for January, February, and March under variable costing and absorption costing is due to the way the fixed cost per month is accounted for in cost of goods sold and ending inventory. With variable costing, all variable costs are included, while absorption includes both variable and fixed manufacturing costs. This makes the ending inventory of variable costing to be carried forward to the next period while absorption costing includes every fixed cost as period costs.

A new minor league baseball stadium is opening soon and the owner is only allowing local, family-owned restaurants to sell within the park. Two hotdog vendors are set to sell within the stadium: (i) The HOT Dog and (ii) Ballpark Frankies. The Baseball park necessitates that the vendors set their prices at the beginning of each season and then hold the price constant during the games that occur that season. The fans are not sensitive to the quality of the hotdog, just the price. The two vendors have every inclination to stay in the ballpark for the life of their firms, so imagine that this will be an infinitely repeated game. Based on relative prices, the potential payoffs for the season are listed below: The HOT Dog Ballpark Frankies Low Price High Price Low Price $10,000 , $10,000 $90,000 , -$3,000 High Price -$3,000 , $90,000 $20,000 , $20,000 Given the high current interest rate of 10%, The HOT Dog is considering to post a high price in the inaugural season and hope that Ballpark Frankies follows as well with a high price of their own. Evaluate if this is a risky strategy for The HOT Dog.
Answer:
This is a very risky strategy for The HOT Dog.
Explanation:
Seeing as how they must keep the price continuously throughout the season, if Frankies' sets a low price, The HOT Dog will lose almost all of their business.

Sunrise, Inc., has no debt outstanding and a total market value of $245,000. Earnings before interest and taxes, EBIT, are projected to be $19,000 if economic conditions are normal. If there is strong expansion in the economy, then EBIT will be 25 percent higher. If there is a recession, then EBIT will be 40 percent lower. The company is considering a $58,800 debt issue with an interest rate of 8 percent. The proceeds will be used to repurchase shares of stock. There are currently 5,000 shares outstanding. Ignore taxes for this problem. Assume the stock price is constant under all scenarios.
Required:
a. Calculate earnings per share, EPS, under each of the three economic scenarios before any debt is issued. Also calculate the percentage changes in EPS when the economy expands or enters a recession.
b. Repeat part (a) assuming that the company goes through with recapitalization. What do you observe?
Answer:
Sunrise, Inc.
a. Earnings per share (EPS) under the three economic scenarios before debt is issued:
Scenarios EBIT EPS Percentage Changes
Normal $19,000 $3.80 ($19,000/5,000)
Expansion $23,750 $4.75 ($23,750/5,000) 25% ($0.95/$3.80 * 100)
Recession $11,400 $2.28 ($11,400/5,000) 40% ($1.52/$3.80 * 100)
b. After capitalization, Earnings per share (EPS) under the three economic scenarios:
Repurchase of stock = $58,800/$49 = 1,200 shares
Outstanding shares = 3,800 (5,000 - 1,200)
Interest expense = $4,700 approx.
Net Income (taxes ignored) = $14,300
Scenarios Net income
Normal $14,300 ($19,000 - $4,700 Interest)
Strong Expansion $17,875 ($14,300 * 1.25)
Recession $8,580 ($14,300 * 0.60)
Scenarios Net income EPS Percentage Changes
Normal $14,300 $3.76 ($14,300/3,800)
Expansion $17,875 $4.70 ($17,875/3,800) 25% ($0.94/$3.76 * 100)
Recession $8,580 $2.25 ($8,580/3,800) 40% ($1.51/$3.76 * 100)
Observation:
The EPS changed under each scenario when the debt was issued, but the percentage changes remained similar to the changes before the debt issue. This can be attributed to the change in the outstanding shares from 5,000 to 3,800. With the debt issue, the EBIT is not used in the calculations but the income after taxes.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Total market value = $245,000
Outstanding shares = 5,000
Market price per share = $49 ($245,000/5,000)
EBIT (Earnings before interest and taxes) = $19,000 (normal economic condition)
Scenarios EBIT
Normal $19,000
Strong Expansion $23,750 ($19,000 * 1.25)
Recession $11,400 ($19,000 * 0.60)
Debit issue = $58,800
Interest rate of debt = 8%

The Distance Plus partnership has the following capital balances at the beginning of the current year: Tiger (50% of profits and losses)$70,000Phil (40%) 40,000Ernie (10%) 55,000 Each of the following questions should be viewed independently. If Sergio invests $60,000 in cash in the business for a 25 percent interest, what journal entry is recorded
Answer:
Cash A/c (Dr) $60,000
Sergio Capital A/c (Cr) $41,250
Tiger Capital A/c (Cr) $9,375
Phil Capital A/c (Cr) $7,500
Ernie Capital A/c (Cr) $1,875
(To record admission of new partner)
Explanation:
The total investment by Sergio is $60,000 in cash will be debited in the journal entry recorded. His interest in the business is 25% which would be credited. So, first we calculate the total investment already made by the partners which is $165,000 (70,000 + 40,000 + 55,000).
Now, Sergio's investment is 25% of the total share of investment made by the partners which accounts to $41,250 (165,000 * 25%). This amount will be credited as Sergio Capital A/c.
The difference $18,750 (60,000 - 41,250) will credited in the capital A/c of other partners which would be divided proportionately to their business share. As done below:
Tiger Capital A/c - $9,375 (18,750 * 50%)
Phil Capital A/c - $7,500 (18,750 * 40%)
Ernie Capital A/c - $1,875 (18,750 * 10%)
Geralt of Rivia is an independent contractor who specializes in monster-killing. His unique skills have earned him the bargaining power to sell his services at a high price to those willing to pay for the removal of infestations of fire elementals, rock trolls, royal wyverns, or the like. Geralt specializes only in hard-to-kill monsters, however, leaving the likes of basiliks and harpies, monsters lower on the totem pole, to less sophisticated monster slayers.
Given these facts, based on the Generic Business Strategies framework, we might say that Geralt occupies the_______ (1) quadrant of the framework.
When Geralt takes a contract from a rich village seeking his aid, they represent a/n _______(2)
Geralt often buys potions and elixirs from various alchemists to help his fighting ability. However, he can make these potions and elixirs himself if he has the time. If he were to do this instead of buying from the alchemists, this would constitute a form of________ (3)
When Geralt takes a contract, it usually requires about a week of planning and preparation, which includes trips to the armorer, time spent making alchemical concoctions that protect him during the confrontation with the monster(s), and the staking out of ideal fighting ground when the battle occurs. As such, Geralt ofter has to choose between contracts, sometimes accepting one contract while forgoing the opportunity to pursue another contract. As we have discussed, this decision constitutes a_________ (4).
Now, let's say that Geralt is governed by a neutral "Council of Witchers" that ensure that those who purchase Geralt's services (e.g., rich villages or principalities plagued by monster infestations) are well-served, and that Geralt spends their gold in ways that work toward the removal of the targeted monsters which these clients have paid to have removed.
We might say that this "Council" serves as Geralt's role in this arrangement. Geralt, in turn, serves as the ______(5) and that the purchasers of Geralt's services, such as rich villages, represent the________ (6) in this arrangement. х (1) differentiation (2) buyer х (3) forward integration (4) tradeoff (5) management х (6) party __________(7) agent
Answer: 1. Differentiation focus
2. Buyer
3. Backward Integration
4. Trade off
5. Board of directors
6. Principal
7. Agent
Explanation:
1. Geralt is using Differentiation focus strategy as it gives the customers a product which they believe is superior than other similar products although the price if the product is higher than others. The product is unique from other products.
2. When Geralt takes a contract from a rich village seeking his aid, they represent a buyer.
3. If Geralt makes the potions and elixirs himself if he has the time rather than buying from the alchemists, this would constitute a form of backward integration. This is because he's expanding his role by taking up a task that's being completed previously in the supply chain.
4. Since Geralt has to choose between contracts, this is a trade off. Trade occurs when we've to choose between alternatives. In this case, we forgo some at the expense of others.
5. Based in the information given, Geralt serves as the board of director.
6. Those who buy Geralt's services, such as rich villages, represent the Principal.
7. Geralt serves as the agent. He's the one negotiating contracts and supplying what's needed.
Blue Point Company is formulating its marketing expense budget for the month of September. Sales in units for August amounted to 4,000; sales volume in September is expected to increase by 10%. So far for the current year, fixed marketing expense per month amounted to $5,000 of salaries and $1,500 of depreciation. Variable marketing expense amount to $.15 paid in cash in the month of sale. What is the estimated cash payment for marketing expense in the month of September
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Computation of estimated cash payment expense is seen below
Variable expenses
Sales in unit for August 4,000
Sales in unit September 4,000 × 110% = 4,400
Total variable expense 4,400 × $0.15 = $660
Fixed expense per quarter
Salaries $5,000 × 3 = $15,000
Depreciation $1,500 × 3 = $4,500
Total = $19,500
Budget total = $20,160
Estimated cash payment = $20,160 - $4,500 = $15,660

Which of the following is true? In a one-shot game, a collusive strategy always represents a Nash equilibrium. A subgame perfect equilibrium occurs when each player is doing the best he can regardless of what the other player is doing. Each Nash equilibrium is a subgame perfect equilibrium. Correct! Every subgame perfect equilibrium is a Nash equilibrium.
Answer: Each Nash equilibrium is a subgame perfect equilibrium.
Explanation:
The Nash Equilibrium in a game is the outcome of which neither of the players would want to deviate from because they are making the highest payoff that they can given the other player's possible choice and leaving this outcome would result in a lower payoff.
In every subgame that is based on the original game therefore, the Nash equilibrium represents the perfect equilibrium for the players as it is giving the highest payoff given the circumstances.

Suppose you invest $20,000 by purchasing 200 shares of Abbott Labs (ABT) at $50 per share, 200 shares of Lowes Companies, Inc. (LOW) at $30 per share, and 100 shares of Ball Corporation (BLL) at $40 per share. Suppose over the next year Ball Corporation has a return of 12.5%, Lowes Companies has a return of 20%, and Abbott Labs has a return of -10%. The return on your portfolio over the year is:
Answer:
Portfolio return = 0.035 or 3.5%
Explanation:
The portfolio return is a function of the weighted average of individual stocks' returns that form up the portfolio. The formula to calculate the portfolio return is as follows,
Portfolio return = wA * rA + wB * rB + ... + wN * rN
Where,
w represents the weight of each stock in the portfolior represents the return of each stockFirst we need to calculate the investment of each stock,
Abbott = 200 * 50 = $10000
Lowes = 200 * 30 = $6000
Ball = 100 * 40 = $4000
Portfolio return = (10000 / 20000) * -0.10 + (6000/20000) * 0.20 +
(4000/20000) * 0.125
Portfolio return = 0.035 or 3.5%

During its first year of operations, Silverman Company paid $15,085 for direct materials and $10,200 for production workers' wages. Lease payments and utilities on the production facilities amounted to $9,200 while general, selling, and administrative expenses totaled $4,700. The company produced 6,050 units and sold 3,700 units at a price of $8.20 a unit. What is the amount of finished goods inventory on the balance sheet at year-end
Answer:
$13,395
Explanation:
Finished Goods Inventory = Production Cost x Ending Units / Units Produced
where,
Production Cost is Calculated as :
Consider only production costs.
Production Cost = $15,085 + $10,200 + $9,200 = $34,485
Ending Units = 6,050 units - 3,700 units = 2,350 units
Units Produced = 6,050 units
therefore,
Finished Goods Inventory = $34,485 x 2,350 units/ 6,050 units = $13,395

Blues Inc. manufactures jeans in the cutting and sewing process. Jeans are manufactured in 40-jean batch sizes. The cutting time is 5 minutes per jean. The sewing time is 20 minutes per jean. It takes 2 minutes to move a batch of jeans from cutting to sewing. a. Compute the value-added, non-value-added, and total lead time of this process. Value-added lead time fill in the blank 1 minutes Non-value-added lead time fill in the blank 2 minutes Total lead time fill in the blank 3 minutes b. Compute the value-added ratio. Round to one decimal place.
Answer:
a. Value added time = Cutting time + Sewing time
Value added time = 5 minutes + 20 minutes
Value added time = 25 minutes
Non-value added time = Total within batch wait time + Move time
Non-value added time = [25 minutes * (40 - 1) + 2 minutes
Non-value added time = 977 minutes
Total lead time = Value added time + Non-value added time
Total lead time = 25 minutes + 977 minutes
Total lead time = 1,002 minutes
b. Value added ratio = Value added time / Total lead time
Value added ratio = 25 minutes / 1,002 minutes
Value added ratio = 0.02495
Value added ratio = 2.5%

Gross profit = Net sales revenue - Cost of Goods Sold = $51,300 - $34,100 = $17,200
Therefore, the correct option is C) $17,200. That is, the amount of Gross Profit shown on the income statement would be $17,200.
Identify the type of bond based on each description given below:
a. These bonds are collateralized securities with first claims in the event of bankruptcy.
b. These bonds are not backed by any physical collateral.
c. They are backed by the reputation and creditworthiness of the issuing company.
d. These bonds are considered the riskiest of all corporate bonds and thus offer the highest interest rates.
Answer:
a. These bonds are collateralized securities with first claims in the event of bankruptcy. SENIOR MORTGAGE BONDS.
A senior mortgage bond is one whose collateral is one or more properties. Mortgage bonds generally have priority over other types of bonds and a senior mortgage bond has priority over other mortgage bonds.
b. These bonds are not backed by any physical collateral. They are backed by the reputation and creditworthiness of the issuing company. DEBENTURES
Debentures have no physical collateral backing them and are only back by the reputation of the company. This therefore makes them a bit high risk and so their rates are higher.
d. These bonds are considered the riskiest of all corporate bonds and thus offer the highest interest rates. SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES.
Debentures have higher than normal rates so subordinated debentures will be quite risky. They command the highest rates as a result because in the event of a default, their claim on assets is last.
