On September 25, 2018 Colson Corp. sold 200,000 widgetrons to Cavanaugh Corp at $5 per unit. Half of the units were delivered on November 15, 2018, and the remaining 100,000 units were delivered on January 20, 2019. At the time of sale Cavanaugh paid 40% of the contract price and agreed to pay the rest in equal installments on the two delivery dates. What amount of revenue should Colson recognize from this sale in 2018?

A. $0
B. $500,000
C. $700,000
D. $1,000,000
Answer:
C. $700,000
Explanation:
Note only payments made on this sale that fall under the year 2018 is accounted for. Hence, we can make the following conclusions:
Total payment due: $5 per unit x 200,000 = $1,000,000.Cavanaugh paid 40% of the contract price on September 25, 2018 = $400,000 (40% or 0.4 x $1,000,000).Also since half of the units were delivered on November 15, 2018, and he agreed to pay the rest in equal installments, we expect him to pay half the $600,000 left:
units were delivered on November 15, 2018 = $300,000 paid.Total payments in the year:
September 25, 2018; $400,000 + $300,000; November 15, 2018 = $700,000.

For each of the following products, indicate whether you believe demand will be relatively price elastic or relatively price inelastic. Give economic reasons for each reply. Remember that high demand does NOT imply high elasticity. High elasticity occurs if a change in quantity demanded is relatively large compared to the associated change in price regardless of how high the quantity demanded is to begin with. a. Mayonnaise in general b. A specific brand of mayonnaise c. Chevrolet automobiles d. Tesla automobiles e. Washing machines f. Beer
Answer:
Note that goods that are considered in general have a broad demand and goods with broad demand are inelastic as there are no substitutes for them. Goods that are specific by nature have narrow demand and have elastic demand because consumers can switch to others if the price is increased slightly.
Hence, Mayonnaise in general, Washing machines and beer have inelastic demand as there are no close substitutes. The remaining three, namely, specific brand of mayonnaise, Chevrolet automobiles and Tesla automobiles have elastic demand as there are substitutes and consumers/users will switch to others if the price is no more favorable.

Martin Company applies manufacturing overhead based on direct labor hours. Information concerning manufacturing overhead and labor for the year follows.
Actual manufacturing overhead = $150,000
Estimated manufacturing overhead = $145,000
Direct labor hours incurred = 4,800
Direct labor hours estimated = 5,000
Compute the predetermined overhead rate.
Answer:
the predetermined overhead rate is $29 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
The computation of the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated manufacturing overhead ÷ estimated direct labor hours
= $145,000 ÷ 5,000 direct labor hours
= $29 per direct labor hour
Hence, the predetermined overhead rate is $29 per direct labor hour
Suppose a company is financed with $20 million of equity and $60 million of debt. That is, the company obtained $20 million from shareholders and $40 million from debtholders to finance its operations. Its capital structure is, therefore, 25% (=$20million/ ($20 million+$60 million) ) equity and 75% (=$60million/ ($20 million+$60 million) ) debt. Please provide the solutions to the following questions (a, b) in the box below.
If company issues $30 million new equity in order to retire some of its debt, what would be its new capital structure?
How do you think market would react on the announcement about the new equity issue? Why? Explain.
Answer:
Existing Equity = 20 million
Existing debt = 60 million
Total capital = 20 million + 60 million = 80 million
a. Given company issued 30 million of equity to retire debt
Equity after raise = $20 million + $30 million = $50 million
Debt = $60 million - $30 million = $30 million
Total capital size remain at $80 million
Capital structure, Equity = $50 million/$80 million = 0.625 = 62.50%
Debt = (1-0.625) = 0.375 = 37.50%
b. The market would welcome the new issue as the risk of the firm would be reduced.

Service cost, 2021 112
Interest cost (w.1) 51
Expected return on plan assets (w.3) (90)
Amortization of prior service cost 8
Amortization of net loss 1
Net pension cost 82
Workings ($ in thousands):
w.1: Interest cost = Projected benefit obligation, January 1, 2021 * Interest rate = $850 * 6% = $51
w.2: Gain from expected return on the plan assets = (Plan assets (fair value), January 1, 2021 * Actual return rate on plan assets) - (Plan assets (fair value), January 1, 2021 * Expected return rate on plan assets) = ($900 * 11%) - ($900 * 10%) = $9
w.3: Expected return on plan assets = (Plan assets (fair value), January 1, 2021 * Actual return rate on plan assets) - Gain from expected return on the plan assets = ($900 * 11%) - $9 = $99 - $9 = $90

In the text, we supposed a college education raised a person's wage by $30,000 per year, from $40,000 to $70,000. Assume the relevant interest rate is 3%, there is no growth in wages, and you are expected to retire at 65 years old after you graduate high-school. (a): Suppose you are a 18 year old graduating high school senior deciding whether or not to go to college. What is the present discounted value of your labor earnings if you chose not to attend college
Answer:
$1,010,668
Explanation:
if you choose not to attend college, you should be working for 65 - 18 = 47 years
your expected annual salary is $40,000
the present value of your future earnings = $40,000 x PV annuity factor
PV annuity factor = = [1 - 1/(1 + i)ⁿ] / i = [1 - 1/(1 + 0.03)⁴⁸] / 0.03 = 25.2667
present value of future earnings = $40,000 x 25.2667 = $1,010,668

Say we change the ceteris paribus assumption to allow each employee to be more productive. For example, we add a zero-cost management technique that allows for the division of labor based on specialization. As a result, each employee's marginal product increases by one. Should the car wash hire more employees
Answer:
The car wash should hire more employees as long as the marginal cost (the extra money that goes to the paying the wage of the new employee) is lower or equal to the marginal benefit (the extra amount of income that the employee will generate for the company).
This is because as long as marginal cost is lower than marginal benefit, hiring an extra worker will produce economic benefits for the firm, and if marginal cost and marginal benefit are equal, the firm at least will break even.
On the other hand, when hiring an extra worker has a marginal cost that is higher than the marginal benefit the worker will produce, the firm will then face economic loss, and should therefore put off hiring any more employees.

B. the government sets the price low enough so that all consumers can afford to purchase as much of the product as they want. C. there is a surplus of the product. D. the price is such that the amount consumers want to buy equals the amount producers want to sell. g
Answer:
D. the price is such that the amount consumers want to buy equals the amount producers want to sell.
Explanation:
A market is in equilibrium when the price is such that the amount consumers want to buy equals the amount producers want to sell.
Generally, a market is considered to be at equilibrium when the quantity of goods and services supplied by the producer is equal to the quantity of goods and services demanded by the consumers.
A direct opposite of this phenomenon is market failure. Market failure is when the market fails to produce the efficient level of output.
This ultimately implies that, a market failure arises when there is inefficiency in the distribution or allocation of goods and services in a free market. Thus, the demand of the consumer of these goods and services are not being met with the level of supply (output) required i.e the forces of demand and supply are not efficient in producing the level of output required by the economy.
Some of the causes of market failure are imperfect information, monopoly, oligopoly, externalities etc.

Metlock Company purchased a computer for $8,800 on January 1, 2019. Straight-line depreciation is used, based on a 5-year life and a $1,100 salvage value. On January 1, 2021, the estimates are revised. Metlock now feels the computer will be used until December 31, 2022, when it can be sold for $550.
Compute the 2021 depreciation. (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 45,892.) Depreciation expense, 2021
Answer:
$2,585
Explanation:
carrying value on December 31, 2020 = $8,800 - [($8,800 - $1,100) x 2/5] = $5,720
new depreciable value = $5,720 - $550 = $5,170
depreciation expense per year = $5,170 / 2 = $2,585
if an asset's useful life changes, the change will only influence future depreciation rates, not past ones.
