Complement goods are goods that can be used together. If the price of one Dvd payers falls, the demand for DVDs would increase. This would lead to a rightward shift of the demand curve. Equilibrium price and quantity would increase
b. As a result of the report, the demand for chocolate candy bars increases. This would lead to a rightward shift of the demand curve. Equilibrium price and quantity would increase
c. As a result of the policies, the demand for cigarettes would fall. This would lead to a leftward shift of the demand curve. Equilibrium price and quantity would fall.
d. As a result of the automation, there would be less need for unskilled labour. As a result, the demand for unskilled labour would fall. This would lead to a leftward shift of the demand curve. Equilibrium price and quantity would fall.
e. increase in interest rate increases the demand for bonds. This would lead to a rightward shift of the demand curve. Equilibrium price and quantity would increase
f. as a result of the flooding, there would be a reduction in supply. The supply curve would shift leftward. Equilibrium price would rise and equilibrium quantity would fall
Larner Corporation is a diversified manufacturer of industrial goods. The company's activity-based costing system contains the following six activity cost pools and activity rates:
Activity Cost Pool Activity Rates
Labor-related $7.00 per direct labor-hour
Machine-related $3.00 per machine-hour
Machine setups $40.00 per setup
Production orders $160.00 per order
Shipments $120.00 per shipment
General factory $4.00 per direct labor-hour
Cost and activity data have been supplied for the following products:
J78 B52
Direct materials cost per unit $6.50 $31.00
Direct labor cost per unit $3.75 $6.00
Number of units produced per year 4,000 100
Total Expected Activity J78 B52 Direct labor-hours 1,000 40
Machine-hours 3,200 30
Machine setups 5 1
Production orders 5 1
Shipments 10 1
Required:
Compute the unit product cost of each product listed above.
First, The unitary production cost J78 is = $15.95
Second The unitary production costB52 is = $45.4
How to Compute the unit Product Cost?Firstly, we need to allocate overhead to each product that is:
Then Allocated MOH is = Estimated manufacturing overhead rate × Actual amount of allocation base
The cost and activity data of J78:
The Labor-related is = 7.00×1,000= 7,000
Then Machine-related is = 3.00×3,200= 9,600
After that Machine setups is = 40.00×5= 200
Then Production orders is = 160.00×5= 800
Then Shipments is = 120.00×10= 1,200
The General factory is = 4.00×1,000= 4,000
Therefore, The Total overhead is = $22,800
Then the Unitary overhead is = 22,800/4,000= $5.7
The cost and activity data of B52:
The Labor-related is = 7.00×40= 280
Then Machine-related is = 3.00×30= 90
After that Machine setups is = 40.00×1= 40
Then Production orders is = 160.00×1= 160
Then Shipments is = 120.00×1= 120
After that General factory is = 4.00×40= 160
Therefore The Total overhead is = $850
Then Unitary overhead is = 850/100= $8.5
Now, we calculate the unitary production cost is:
The unitary production cost J78= 6.5 + 3.75 + 5.7= $15.95
The unitary production cost B52= 31 + 6 + 8.5= $45.4

If there are external or spillover benefits associated with consumption and production of a product, it can be said that the:
Answer:
supply curve for the product lies too far to the right to provide an efficient allocation of resources
Explanation:
Please find attached an image of the full question
A good has positive externality if the benefits to third parties not involved in production is greater than the cost. an example of an activity that generates positive externality is research and development. Due to the high cost of R & D, they are usually under-produced. Government can encourage the production of activities that generate positive externality by granting subsidies.
Goods that generate spill over benefits are usually underproduced and the supply curve lies too far to the right to provide an efficient allocation of resources
You purchased a bond at a price of $13,100. In 15 years when the bond matures, the bond will be worth $30,000. It is exactly 7 years after you purchased the bond and you can sell the bond today for $21,300. If you hold the bond until it matures, what annual rate of return will you earn from today
Answer:
The annual rate of return is 2.10%
Explanation:
The computation of the annual rate of return is shown below:
Let us assume the annual rate of return be K
K is
= {Worth of the bond - selling price of the bond today)^(1 ÷ remaining time period) - 1
= [$30,000 ÷ $21,300]^(1 ÷ 8) - 1
= 2.10%
Hence, the annual rate of return is 2.10%
The same is to be considered
Fidelity Stereo Company has provided the following information regarding its activity-based costing system:Purchasing department costs are allocated based on purchase orders, and the predetermined overhead allocation rate is $77 per purchase order.Assembly department costs are allocated based on the number of parts used, and the predetermined overhead allocation rate is $5 per part.Packaging department costs are allocated based on the number of units produced, and the predetermined overhead allocation rate is $4 per unit produced.Each stereo produced has 50 parts, and the direct materials cost per unit is $70. There are no direct labor costs. Fidelity Stereo has an order for 1200 stereos, which will require 45 purchase orders in all. What is the total cost for the 1200 stereos?a. $392,265b. $303,465c. $388,800d. $307,950
Answer:
a. $392, 265
Explanation:
Given that:
i. Purchasing department, overhead allocation rate is $77 per purchase order.
ii. Assembly department, overhead allocation rate is $5 per part.
iii. Packaging department, overhead allocation rate is $4 per unit.
iv. Direct material cost is $70 per unit.
v. Each stereo has 50 parts.
Total parts required = 1200 x 50
= 60000
vi. 45 purchase order was required for 1200 stereos.
Thus:
i. $77 x 45 = $3465
ii. $5 x 60000 = $300000
iii. $4 x 1200 = $4800
iv. $70 x 1200 = $84000
Therefore,
total cost for 1200 stereos = $3465 + $300000 + $4800 + $84000
= $392, 265

Agreement and disagreement among economists Suppose that Yakov, an economist from a research institute in Texas, and Ana, an economist from a school of industrial relations, are arguing over health insurance. The following dialogue shows an excerpt from their debate:
Ana: A popular topic for debate among politicians as well as economists is the idea of providing government assistance for health benefits.
Yakov: I think it is oppressive for the government to tax people who take care of themselves in order to pay for health insurance for those who are obese.
Ana: I disagree. I think government funding of health insurance is useful to ensure basic fairness. The disagreement between these economists is most likely due todifferences in values.
Despite their differences, with which proposition are two economists chosen at random most likely to agree?
A. Immigrants receive more in government benefits than they contribute in taxes.
B. Having a single income tax rate would improve economic performance.
C. Rent ceilings reduce the quantity and quality of available housing.
Answer: C. Rent ceilings reduce the quantity and quality of available housing.
Explanation:
Economists for all their differences will most likely agree that Rent Ceilings reduce the quality and quantity of available housing.
This is because it lowers the incentive for landlords to improve their housing if they know that they cannot charge enough to benefit from this improvement.
Landlords will also build lower quality housing or not go into housing construction at all because the rent ceiling might mean that they are not making enough return to pay for the construction of the house.
McNulty, Inc., produces desks and chairs. A new CFO has just been hired and announces a new policy that if a product cannot earn a margin of at least 30 percent, it will be dropped. The margin is computed as product gross profit divided by reported product cost.Manufacturing overhead for year 1 totaled $799,000. Overhead is allocated to products based on direct labor cost. Data for year 1 show the following:

Regardless of your answer in requirement (a), the CFO decides at the beginning of year 2 to drop the chair product. The company cost analyst estimates that overhead without the chair line will be $680,000. The revenue and costs for desks are expected to be the same as last year. What is the estimated margin for desks in year 2? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 1 decimal place.)Estimated margin for desks- Year 2 ?%
Answer:
McNulty, Inc.
Chairs Desks
1. Margin on cost 25% 35%
2. Chairs should be dropped.
3. Margin for desks in Year 2 = 25%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Expected margin = 30% = Gross profit/Product cost
Manufacturing overhead $799,000
Chairs Desks
Sales revenue $1,240,000 $2,286,900
Direct materials 587,000 830,000
Direct labor 150,000 320,000
Overhead 255,000 544,000
Product costs $992,000 $1,694,000
Gross profit $248,000 $592,900
Margin on cost 25% 35%
Expected margin 30% 30%
Expected Margin for desks in Year 2:
Desks
Sales revenue $2,286,900
Direct materials 830,000
Direct labor 320,000
Overhead 680,000
Product costs $1,830,000
Gross profit $456,900
Margin on cost 25%
Expected margin 30%
McNulty's new CFO has made a bad decision. Should the desks be eliminated also? Decisions involving overhead costs should not be made lightly. Detailed and precise information about the overhead costs should be obtained before a decision is taken on product elimination. This case demonstrates the reason for not taking a hasty decision on an issue like this.
ClevelandInc. leased a new crane to Abriendo Construction under a 5-year, non-cancelable contract starting January 1, 2020. Terms of the lease require payments of $48,555 each January 1, starting January 1, 2020. The crane has an estimated life of 7 years, a fair value of $240,000, and a cost to Cleveland of $240,000. The estimated fair value of the crane is expected to be $45,000 (unguaranteed) at the end of the lease term. No bargain purchase or renewal options are included in the contract, and it is not a specialized asset. Both Cleveland and Abriendo adjust and close books annually at December 31. Collectibility of the lease payments is probable. Abriendo’s incremental borrowing rate is 8%, and Cleveland’s implicit interest rate of 8% is known to Abriendo. Discuss what should be presented in the balance sheet, the income statement, and the related notes of both the lessee and the lessor at December 31, 2020.

The December 31, 2015, balance sheet of Schism, Inc., showed long-term debt of $1,405,000, $141,000 in the common stock account, and $2,660,000 in the additional paid-in surplus account. The December 31, 2016, balance sheet showed long-term debt of $1,590,000, $151,000 in the common stock account, and $2,960,000 in the additional paid-in surplus account. The 2016 income statement showed an interest expense of $94,500 and the company paid out $146,000 in cash dividends during 2016. The firm’s net capital spending for 2016 was $970,000, and the firm reduced its net working capital investment by $126,000.
What was the firm's 2016 operating cash flow, or OCF? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.)
Answer: $589,500
Explanation:
The cash flow to the creditors in 2016 will be calculated as:
= $94,500 – ($1,590,000 - $1,405,000)
= $94,500 – $1,590,000 + $1,405,000
= -$90,500
For the shareholders, the cash flow in 2016 will be:
= $146,000 – [($151,000 + $2,960,000) – ($141,000 + $2,660,000)]
= -$164,000
Capital spending = $970,000
Cash flow due to the net working capital investment = -$126,000
OCF
= -$90,500 + (-$164,000) + $970,000 + (-$126,000)
= $589,500
Oriole Products manufactures two component parts: AJ40 and AJ60. AJ40 components are being introduced currently, and AJ60 parts have been in production for several years. For the upcoming period, 1,500 units of each product are planned for manufacturing. Assume that the only relevant overhead cost is for engineering change orders (any requested changes in product design or the manufacturing process). AJ40 components are expected to require 4 change orders and AJ60 only 2. Each AJ40 requires 1 machine hour, and each AJ60 requires 1.5 machine hours. The cost of a change order is $420.
Required:
Estimate the cost of engineering change orders for AJ40 and AJ60 components if Blue uses a traditional costing method and machine hours as the allocation base.
Answer:
Total allocated cost for AJ40 $189,000
Total allocated cost for AJ60 $283,500
Total $472,500
Explanation:
Calculation to Estimate the cost of engineering change orders for AJ40 and AJ60
First step is to calculate for the Total number of change orders
AJ40 AJ60
Units planned 1,500 1,500
÷No. of change orders 4 2
=Total number of change orders 375 +750=1,125
Second step is to for the Total cost of change order
AJ40 AJ60
Units planned 1,500 1,500
×Machine hours per unit 1 1.5
=Total machine hours required 1,500 + 2,250 =3,750
Third step is to find the Total cost of change order
AJ40 AJ60
Total number of change orders 375 750
× Cost of a change order $420 $420
=Total cost of change order $157,500 $315,00
Total cost of change order=$157,500 +$315,000
=Total cost of change order = $472,500
Now let Estimate the cost of engineering change orders for AJ40 and AJ60 using Traditional system
TRADITIONAL SYSTEM
Total allocated cost for AJ40 $189,000 (472,500*1,500/3,750)
Total allocated cost for AJ60 $283,500 (472,500*2,250/3,750)
Hence,
Total allocated cost for AJ40 $189,000+Total allocated cost for AJ60 $283,500
=$472,500
Indicate which activities of Stockton Corporation violated the rights of a stockholder who owned one share of common stock.
a. Paid the stockholder a smaller dividend per share than another common stockholder.
b. Did not allow the stockholder to make decisions regarding hiring and firing employees.
c. Rejected the stockholder's request to vote via proxy because she was home sick.
d. The company did not provide all stockholders with timely financial reports.
e. In liquidation, paid the common shareholder after preferred stockholders were already paid.
Answer:
a. Paid the stockholder a smaller dividend per share than another common stockholder.
c. Rejected the stockholder's request to vote via proxy because she was home sick.
d. The company did not provide all stockholders with timely financial reports.
Explanation:
A shareholder is a person that has contributed to the equity of a company and holds shares as evidence of ownership.
Shareholders have right to recieve equal dividend as other common shareholders. There can only be a difference in dividend payouts when the other person has more shares.
They also have the right to vote via proxy in cases where they are not available. The proxy is duly appointed by the shareholder.
The company is also mandated to provide timely financial reports to all stockholders.
Shareholders however are not involved in daily running of the business. So they have no say in hiring and firing of employees.
Also common shareholders are paid dividend after preference share holders have been settled by the company.
For each of the following incidents, determine whether the individuals will be motivated to behave as desired.
Frank Edwards is head basketball coach at a small regional state university, a campus of the state’s main university system. He has just had a visit with Walter Johnson, a local high school athlete who is clearly one of the state’s blue chip basketball prospects. Frank desperately needs a player of Walter’s potential to turn his mediocre team around, but he realizes that it won’t be easy to sign him. He is confident that he made it clear to Walter that there is a scholarship available for Walter if he wants it. He also knows that Walter needs a scholarship to be able to go to college. However, an article in the Sunday Sports section reports that two of the major state university coaches (larger schools upstate, with nationally known basketball programs) also intend to actively recruit Walter. Coach Edwards should take which of the following actions?
A. Send Walter a written and notarized offer of the scholarship.B. Write Walter's parents, stressing that the scholarship will cover all of his tuition, room and board, and book expenses.C. Write a letter to Walter stressing to him the value of a college education.D. Talk to Walter again, stressing the likelihood that he would make the starting five in his freshman year.E. Do nothing. Walter will probably sign with him anyway.
Answer:
C). Write a letter to Walter stressing to him the value of a college education.
Explanation:
The most ethical and moral action that Coach Edward should take in the given situation would be to 'write a letter to Walter stressing to him the value/significance of college education.' It would not only educate Walter regarding the crucial role that college education plays in defining the success and personality of an individual but also emphasize the benefits of joining the college team which would be vital to his overall career and give a direction to his skills. Thus, this would serve Coach Edwards' purpose ethically by making Walter understand the idea logically and convince him. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

A man invests his savings in two accounts, one paying 6 percent and the other paying 10 percent simple interest per year. He puts twice as much in the lower-yielding account because it is less risky. His annual interest is 4202 dollars. How much did he invest at each rate?
Answer:
Amount at 6% = $38,200Amount at 10% = $19,100Explanation:
Assume x is the amount in the 10% account.
The formula to solve would be;
(2x * 6%) + x * 10% = 4,202
0.12x + 0.1x = 4,202
0.22x = 4,202
x = 4,202/0.22
x = $19,100
The amount he invested at 6% is therefore;
= 19,100 * 2
= $38,200
Suppose you decide (as did Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg) to start a company. Your product is a software platform that integrates a wide range of media devices, including laptop computers, desktop computers, digital video recorders, and cell phones. Your initial market is the student body at your university. Once you have established your company and set up procedures for operating it, you plan to expand to other colleges in the area and eventually to go nationwide. At some point, hopefully sooner rather than later, you plan to go public with an IPO and then to buy a yacht and take off for the South Pacific to indulge in your passion for underwater photography.

How does it affect corporate governance?7. Briefly explain how regulatory agencies and legal systems affect corporate governance.
Answer:
The solution can be defined as follows:
Explanation:
In the question, there are multiple choices that are defined, in which except the first three choices other are belong to a different topic, that's why we define only three choices.
In option 1:
There can be relationships between both the organization or managers as leaders assign making decisions with managers. This same relation could lead to conflicts between both the parties concerned. The said conflict is named an issue/confrontation agency. The confrontation between both the supervisors and employees and between owners and creditors may also exist.
There would be no dispute with both the department. Its reason for this is that organization conflict may occur unless the business owner does not hold 100% of the common stock of a corporation.
In that case, they will manage the operations of your company as the sole employee. Users will have the right to obtain all revenue earned from the company. It will keep owning 100% of a greater corporate share because you put the money in the company. There have been no external agencies that borrow. There will be no chance of every confrontation.
In option 2:
Yeah, once you recruit people to take on responsibilities or give them their proper decision-making authority, the conflict and you and your workers will occur. Disagreements may well be caused by differences of opinions or even by the sharing of profits you would have the right to receive when you operated together.
In option 3:
\Yeah, it can result in conflicts with the organization to hold shares out to buyers. Scandals among shareholders and managers and between borrowers and shareholders and between management, shareholders and debt holders may arise as a type of conflict.

You are considering a project which will provide annual cash inflows of $4,921, $5,700, and $8,000 at the end of each year for the next three years, respectively. What is the present value of these cash flows, given a 9 percent discount rate?
Answer:
Total PV= $15,489.73
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flows:
1= $4,921
2= $5,700
3= $8,000
Interest rate= 9%
To calculate the present value, we need to use the following formula on each cash flow:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV1= = 4,921/1.09= 4,514.68
PV2= 5,700/1.09^2= 4,797.58
PV3= 8,000/1.09^3= 6,177.47
Total PV= $15,489.73
What are the economic problems
typically facing developing nations
like Malaguena?
Answer:
Developing countries were hit hard by the financial and economic crisis, although the impact was somewhat delayed. Every country had different challenges to master. The closer the developing countries are interconnected with the world economy, the crasser the effects. And the incipient recovery that is becoming noticeable is, for the time being, restricted to only a few countries and regions.
The crisis was transmitted primarily by trade and financial flows forcing millions back into poverty. Attainment of the Millennium Development Goals is seriously jeopardised in many countries. Many developing countries did not and do not have the resources to stimulate the economy and protect their socially disadvantaged populations to the same extent as the industrialised countries. However, many countries have made considerable efforts to mitigate the effects. Developing countries have also increased their cooperation with one another and are urgently demanding a greater voice in global economic affairs.
Explanation:
Answer:
Economic problems in the developing world include corruption, poor infrastructure, lack of skilled labor, political instability, weak protection of intellectual rights, and the possibility of contacts being canceled on a whim. Relatively few people have reaped the rewards of economic prosperity.Laws governing sales are only enacted when the rights of an organization are infringed upon

Explanation:
Emily Lim owns and runs an ice cream parlor in San Diego. Last year, she had sales of $430,000 and an average tax rate of 34%. She spent $43,000 on ingredients, $21,500 on utilities, and $77,400 to rent the premises Emily has a few employees and paid them $86,000 in wages in total. She also paid herself a salary of $64,500 and spent $43,000 to pay for employee benefits A few years ago, Emily borrowed money to buy the ice making equipment. Last year, she paid $21,500 in interest on that loan. Depreciation for the equipment was $12,900 .
1. What was operating income (EBIT) for the year?
2. What was net income for the year?
Answer:
1). Operating Income (EBIT) = Sales - Expenses - Depreciation
Operating Income (EBIT) = $430,000 - ($43,000 - $21,500 - $77,400 - $86,000 - $64,500 - $43,000) - $12,900
Operating Income (EBIT) = $430,000 - $335,400 - $12,900
Operating Income (EBIT) = $81,700
2). Net Income = (EBIT - Interest)*[1 - t]
Net Income = ($81,700-$21,500)*(1-0.34)
Net Income = $60,200*0.66
Net Income = $39,732

Use the activity rate and usage information to calculate the total activity cost and activity cost per unit for each product.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to allocate overhead to each product:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Elliptical:
Fabrication= 34*663= 22,542
Assembly= 14*180= 2,520
Setup= 46*21= 966
Inspecting= 26*119= 3,094
Production scheduling= 14*16= 224
Purchasing= 8*90= 720
Total allocate cost= $30,066
Unitary cost= 30,066/268= $112.19
Treadmills:
Fabrication= 34*415= 14,110
Assembly= 14*78= 1,092
Setup= 46*9= 414
Inspecting= 26*181= 4,706
Production scheduling= 14*9= 126
Purchasing= 8*50= 400
Total allocate cost= $20,848
Unitary cost= 20,848/134= $155.58

An error understated Power Corporation's December 31, 2018, ending inventory by $54,000. What effect will this error have on total assets and net income for 2018?
Answer:
•The total Assets will be under stated by $54,000 in 2018.
•The Net income will also be understated by $54,000 in 2018.
Explanation:
In computing income statement, beginning inventory is usually added to net purchases, then minus ending inventory to arrive at cost of goods sold.
The cost of goods sold can also be computed as ;
Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + Net purchases - Ending inventory. What the above means is that if ending inventory is understated, then the cost of goods sold will be overstated.
The gross profit is arrived at by deducting cost of goods sold from net sales. So, if cost of goods sold is overstated, then the gross profit will be understated by same amount, whereas an overstated gross profit , will also over state net profit.
Inventory is an asset. When an inventory is understated, then the overall asset would also be understated by same amount.
