Suppose Rebecca needs a dog sitter so that she can travel to her sister’s wedding. Rebecca values dog sitting for the weekend at $200. Susan is willing to dog sit for Rebecca so long as she receives at least $175. Rebecca and Susan agree on a price of $185. Suppose the government imposes a tax of $30 on dog sitting. What is the deadweight loss of the tax?
Answer:
The deadweight loss of the tax is $25
Explanation:
In order to calculate the deadweight loss of the tax we would have to make the following calculation:
deadweight loss of the tax=maximum willingness to pay - minimum willingness to accept
maximum willingness to pay=$200
minimum willingness to accept =$175
deadweight loss of the tax=$200-$175
deadweight loss of the tax=$25
The deadweight loss of the tax is $25
Answer: $25
Explanation:
Given Data:
Rebecca value for dog sitting = $200
Susan’s minimum agreed price = $175
Rebecca and Susan agreed price = $185
Government tax on dog sitting = $30
Dead weight loss = Rebecca value - Susan list price
= $200 - $175
= $25
The dead weight loss of tax is $25
Johnson Company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts receivable. Bad debt expense is established as a percentage of credit sales. For 2018, net credit sales totaled $5,800,000, and the estimated bad debt percentage is 1.40%. The allowance for uncollectible accounts had a credit balance of $55,000 at the beginning of 2018 and $46,500, after adjusting entries, at the end of 2018. Required: 1. What is bad debt expense for 2018 as a percent of net credit sales
Answer:
Bad debt expense for 2018 is $81,200
Explanation:
2018 net credit sales = $5,800,000

No effect? Amount of deduction? Amount of income ?
Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
a. No Effect on Taxable Income.
First off Joe's income is only dependent on if the test is successful. Even if it were, the test would only be conducted in year 1 March not in year 0 which is the focus of this question. Taxes are only paid when cash is received.
b. No Effect on Taxable Income.
Had there been a business discussion, Joe would have been able to claim a 50% deduction in Tax. However since there was none, there is no effect on Tax.
c. No effect on Taxable Income
The insurance is not tax deductible.
d. $12,750 in taxable income.
Even Joe believes that $2,750 of income might not be collected, he cannot deduct this from taxes until it actually happens therefore his increase in income is $12,750.
e. $2,250 reduction in taxable income
The $6,750 was paid for 3 months. Joe uses Accrual accounting however meaning that expenses have to be recorded for the period they are incurred. $2,250 was incurred for December and so that is the amount that will be deducted as an expense for the year.
f. $1,600 reduction in Taxable income.
If the representative brings back receipts that are in order, Joe can be able to reimburse her for $1,600 in expenses. This includes $550 for airfare, $600 for lodging and for food and entertainment, the maximum he can claim as deductible in tax is 50% of each which means $250 for meals and $200 for entertainment. Adding all that up will give $1,600.
g. $139.15 reduction in Taxable income
Joe drove 96 miles to and fro the factory to his house. This is not tax deductible and considered personal. He however drove 245 miles visiting company sites. This is tax deductible.
The standard rate for 2020 according to the IRS is 57.5 cents per mile so 245 * 57.5 cents per mile will give $139.15.
h. $345 reduction in taxable income
Joe spent $175 to attend to symposium. He also paid $95 in taxi fare to get to the symposium. He ate meals worth $150 during the symposium not which 50% is deductible. 50% being $75. Adding all these together is,
= 175 + 95 + 75
= $345.
This is the taxable reduction.

A food truck operator originally produced hamburgers and hotdogs. To serve the tastes of their various customers, the hot dog vendor decides to start producing turkey dogs and ham sandwiches as well. Since the new products were introduced, average costs rose dramatically. The vendor is experiencing:________.
A. Economies of scope.
B. Diseconomies of scope.
C. Economies of scale.
D. Diseconomies of scale.
The correct answer is B. Diseconomies of scope
Explanation:
In businesses, diseconomies of scope occur when costs increase when two or more products are produced by the same business. This means it is cheaper and more efficient for a business to specialize in a few products rather than focusing on diverse products. This occurs in the case presented because the production of turkey dogs and ham sandwiches increased the costs, which shows it is more efficient for the business to specialize in a few products. Thus, this vendor is experiencing diseconomies of scope.

Due to the adoption of a just in time assembly line system, NWC is expected to decrease. Inventory is expected to decrease from $254600 to $143072 while accounts payable will also decrease by $26648. What is the cash flow impact for the change in net working capital to be included in the initial investment
Answer:
$84,880
Explanation:
Since there is a decrease in inventory from $254,600 to $143,072 i.e $111,528 and the account payable is also decreased by $26,648
So, there is an increase in cash flow due to the change in net working capital of
= Decrease in inventory - decrease in account payable
= $111,528 - $26,648
= $84,880
Hence, the cash flow impact is of $84,880 i.e to be included in the initial investment
If the Fed carries out an open market operation and sells U.S. government securities, as long as the federal funds interest rate remains within the corridor the federal funds rate ________ and the quantity of reserves ________. Group of answer choices rises; decreases falls; increases falls; decreases rises; increases
Answer:
rises; decreases
Explanation:
When the Fed sells US securities, it is engaging in a contractionary monetary policy. This means that they are trying to cool down the economy and lower inflation rate by reducing the money supply. This will lead to an increase in the federal funds rate and the whole economy's interest rates.
Since the Fed absorbs money from the banks and other investors, the quantity of banks' reserves decreases, which leads to less loans and higher interest rates charged.

Assuming no employees are subject to ceilings for their earnings, Harris Company has the following information for the pay period of January 15 - 31.
Gross payroll $19,676
Federal income tax withheld $3,438
Social security rate 6%
Federal unemployment tax rate 0.8%
Medicare rate 1.5%
State unemployment tax rate 5.4%
Salaries Payable would be recorded in the amount of
a) $15,018.09
b) $13,542.39
c) $14,762.30
d) $19,676.00
Answer:
The correct answer is B. Salaries Payable would be recorded in the amount of 13,542.39.
Explanation:
Given that the company's gross payroll is $19,676, and that a discount of $3,438 must be applied by the Federal Income Tax, a 6% social security rate, a 0.8% federal unemployment rate, a 1.5% rate Medicare and 5.4% state unemployment rate, the following gross discounts must be made to gross payroll to determine wages to be paid after taxes:
3,438 (Federal Income Tax)
19,676 x 0.06 = 1,180.56 (social security rate)
19,676 x 0.008 = 157.408 (federal unemployment rate)
19,676 x 0.015 = 295.14 (Medicare rate)
19,676 x 0.054 = 1,062.5 (state unemployment rate)
Therefore, those discounts should be subtracted from the gross payroll in order to get the Salaries Payable:
19,676 - 3,438 - 1,180.56 - 157.4 - 295.14 - 1,062.5 = 13,542.39.
If Home Depot was correct in that it was not discriminating, but simply filling positions consistent with those who applied for them (and very few women were applying for customer service positions), given your reading of this chapter, was the firm guilty of discrimination? If so, under what theory?
Answer:
Yes and the theory is stereotyping
Explanation:
In a workplace women are subjected to gender stereotyping.
Stereotyping is when there is a wrong belief or idea about people based on they look on the outside.
Most times this is a wrong belief or partially true. It is a form of prejudice because how the person is on the outside is not a true definition of who they are.
In this scenario women are made to feel they were not on the same level as male counterparts during promotions, hiring, and payment.
This prejudice was explained by home Depot to be based on experience. They said most women had experience as cashiers so the could only fill roles like cashier, customer care, and clerk
At March 31, Cummins Co. had an unadjusted balance in its cash account of $9,700. At the end of March, the company determined that it had outstanding checks of $950, deposits in transit of $620, a bank service charge of $25, and an NSF check from a customer for $210. What is the true cash balance at March 31
Answer:
$9,465
Explanation:
The computation of the true cash balance as on March 31 is shown below:
= Unadjusted cash balance as on March 31 - bank service charges - NSF check from a customer
= $9,700 - $25 - $210
= $9,465
These above two items are to be deducted
The other two items i.e outstanding checks and the deposit in transit are related to the bank balance and the same is not considered
The four conditions (mutual exclusion, hold and wait, no preemption and circular wait) are necessary for a resource deadlock to occur. Give an example to show that these conditions are not sufficient for a resource deadlock to occur. When are these conditions sufficient for a resource deadlock to occur
Explanation:
The conditions sufficient for a resource deadlock to occur is when a deadlock will prevail for process A, B, and C when two resources R and S; if only one instance of each resources is allowed.
Solution
Deadlock conditions
A deadlock is a situation where two or more processes request for same critical resource at the same time.
The mutual exclusion applies a restriction to a resource when the resource is used by any process, it should become unavailable for the other resources
The hold and wait allocations explains that any process which is allocate resources must hold them; till all needed resources are nor sure.
In the meantime, if any other processes need a resource which is held by another process, then the latter will release the resource to prevent deadlock.
No pre-emption states that the operating system can grant access to resources to another process while it is in use by another process; depending on the priority , to prevent deadlock.
Circular wait should not be implemented so that resources being requested by process are allocated when they get free.
Now,
Three processes A, B, and C functions on a system, having two distinct resources R and S.
The resource R has one instant active while resource S has two instances available.
The instance of R is allocated to a process A after request. first instance of resource S is allocated to process B, and second instance of resource S is allocated to process C.
When a request is placed by process B for resource R, then the resource is not available for execution. the process A request for resource S which is used by both C and B.
All the four conditions prevail in this situation; yet deadlock does not occur.
The resource S is released by process C and is allocated to process A. when process A finishes, it releases resources and resources R is allocate d to process B.
Hence all three processes end without a deadlock.
However, the deadlock will prevail for process A, B, and C when two resources R and S; if only one instance of each resources is allowed.

j. The equity multiplier. (Thetotal stockholdersâ equity at the beginning of last year totaled$1,679,000.) (Round your answers to 2 decimalplaces.)
Answer:
e. The average sales period = (average balance inventory / COGS) x 365 days = {[($1,065,000 + $715,000)/2] / $3,995,000} x 365 days = 81.3 days
f. The operating cycle = average sales period + (average accounts receivable / total credit sales) x 365 days = 81.3 + {[($633,000 + $420,000)/2] / $5,600,000} x 365 days = 81.3 + 34.3 = 115.6 days
g. The total asset turnover = total sales / average assets = $5,600,000 / [($3,815,200 + $2,959,000)/2 = 1.66 times
h. The debt-to-equity ratio = total liabilities / total equity = $1,670,000 / $2,145,200 = 0.778 or 77.8%
i. The times interest earned ratio = EBIT / interest expense = $928,000 / $102,000 = 9.1
j. The equity multiplier = total assets / total equity = $3,815,200 / $2,145,200 = 1.78
Logan Company can sell all of the standard and premier products they can produce, but it has limited production capacity. It can produce 8 standard units per hour or 4 premier units per hour, and it has 36,600 production hours available. Contribution margin per unit is $20.00 for the standard product and $23.00 for the premier product. What is the total contribution margin if Logan chooses the most profitable sales mix
Answer:
The most profitable sales mix is 288,000 standard units and 0 premier units.
Explanation:
8 standard units per hour
4 premier units per hour
36,600 production hours available
For standard units, contribution margin per hour = 8 x $20 = $160
For premier units, contribution margin per hour = 4 x $23 = $92
Therefore, most profitable sales mix = 36,000 hours x 8 units per hour of standard product
= 288,000 standard units and 0 premier units.
Bond X is noncallable and has 20 years to maturity, a 9% annual coupon, and a $1,000 par value. Your required return on Bond X is 8%; if you buy it, you plan to hold it for 5 years. You (and the market) have expectations that in 5 years, the yield to maturity on a 15-year bond with similar risk will be 8.5%. How much should you be willing to pay for Bond X today
Answer:
$954.54
Explanation:
The price of the bond today is the present value of the promised cash inflows of coupon payment and repayment of face value which is computed using fv formula in excel below:
Price in 5 years time:
=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
rate is 8.5% in 5 years' time
nper is 15 years in 5 years' time
pmt is the annual coupon=$1000*9%=$$90
fv is the face value of $1000
=-pv(8.5%,15,90,1000)=$ 1,041.52
Price today:
=-pv(8%,20,90,1,041.52)=$954.54

The "Investment in Buisson, S.A.," on the balance sheet represents an investment in the stock of another company. The company's minimum required rate of return of 15%
Required:
1. Compute the company's average operating assets for last year
2. Compute the company's margin, turnover, and return on investment (ROl) for last year. (Round "Margin", "Turnover" and "ROI" to 2 decimal places.)
3. What was the company's residual income last year?
Answer:
1. $1,930,000
2. Margin = 15%
Turnover = $2.8
Return on investment = 42%
3. $521,100
Explanation:
1. The computation of average operating assets for last year is shown below:-
Average operating assets = (Beginning operating assets + Ending operating assets) ÷ 2
= ($2,562,000 - $399,000 - $253,000) + ($2,634,000 - $434,000 - $250,000) ÷ 2
= ($1,910,000 + $1,950,000) ÷ 2
= $3,860,000 ÷ 2
= $1,930,000
2. The computation of company's margin, turnover, and return on investment is shown below:-
Margin = Net operating income ÷ Sales
= $810,600 ÷ $5,404,000
= 15%
Turnover = Sales ÷ Average operating assets
= $5,404,000 ÷ $1,930,000
= $2.8
Return on investment = Margin × Turnover
= 15% × $2.8
= 42%
3. The computation of residual income last year is shown below:-
Residual income last year = Net operating income - Minimum required return
= $810,600 - ($1,930,000 × 15%)
= $810,600 - $289,500
= $521,100
So, we have applied the above formula.

Determine the following amounts before the stock dividend was dedared: (1) total paid-in capital, (2) total and retained earning (3) total stockholders' equity. Total paid-in capital 828,000Total retained earnings 6,000,000 Total stockholders' equity 6,828,000C. Determine the following amounts after the stock dividend was dedlared and closing entries were recorded at the end of the year:Total paid-in capitalTotal retained earningsTotal stockholders' equity
Answer:
common stock = 6,000 at $75 par = $450,000
additional paid in capital = $48,000
retained earnings = $4,500,000
market price per stock $95
since the stock dividend is 2% (= 6,000 x 2% = , then we must use the market price to calculate it:
A1. Journalize the entry to record the declaration of the dividend, capitalizing an amount equal to market value.
Dr Retained earnings 11,400
Cr Common stock dividend distributable 9,000
Cr Additional paid in capital 2,400
A2. Journalize the entry to record the issuance of the stock certificates.
Dr Common stock dividend distributable 9,000
Cr Common stock 9,000
B. Determine the following amounts before the stock dividend was declared:
(1) total paid-in capital = $48,000
(2) total retained earning = $4,500,000
(3) total stockholders' equity = $4,998,000
C. Determine the following amounts after the stock dividend was declared and closing entries were recorded at the end of the year:
(1) total paid-in capital = $50,400
(2) total retained earning = $4,488,600
(3) total stockholders' equity = $4,998,000
The rate of economic growth per capita in france from 1996 to 2000 was 1.9% per year, while in korea over the same period it was 4.2%. Per capita real GDP was $28,900 in france in 2003, and $12,700 in korea. Assume the growth rates for each country remain the same.
1. Compute the doubling time for France’s per capita real GDP.
2. Compute the doubling time for Korea’s per capita real GDP.
3. What will France’s per capita real GDP be in 2045?
4. What will Korea’s per capita real GDP be in 2045?
Answer:
36.83 years
16.85 years
$63,710.88
$ 71,490.43
Explanation:
We can use the nper formula in excel to compute the doubling time for the capital real GDP of both countries
=nper(rate,pmt,-pv,fv)
FV is the future real GDP which $28,900*2=$57,800 for France while that of Korea is $25,400 ($12,700*2)
PV is the present real GDP
rate is the economic growth rate of 4.2% in Korea and 1.9% in France
France=nper(1.9%,0,-28900,57800)= 36.83
Korea=nper(4.2%,0,-12700,25400)= 16.85
In 2045 ,which is 42 years from now the real GDP are shown thus:
=fv(rate,nper,pmt,-pv)=fv(1.9%,42,0,-28900)=$63,710.88
=fv(rate,nper,pmt,-pv)=fv(4.2%,42,0,-12700)=$ 71,490.43
Light-emitting diode (LED) light bulbs have become required in recent years, but do they make financial sense? Suppose a typical 60-watt incandescent light bulb costs $.45 and lasts for 1,000 hours. A 7-watt LED, which provides the same light, costs $2.25 and lasts for 40,000 hours. A kilowatt-hour of electricity costs $.121, which is about the national average. A kilowatt-hour is 1,000 watts for 1 hour. However, electricity costs actually vary quite a bit depending on location and user type (you can get information on your rates from your local power company). An industrial user in West Virginia might pay $.04 per kilowatt-hour whereas a residential user in Hawaii might pay $.25. You require a 10 percent return and use a light fixture 500 hours per year. What is the break-even cost per kilowatt-hour?
Answer:
(A) For incandescent bulb, your break even cost is $32.67
(B) With LED bulb, your break even cost is $3.8115
Conclusion: It makes financial sense to use LED bulbs.
Explanation:
We start by checking the cost of your electricity bill when you use incandescent bulb and when you use LED bulb.
Since your answers are to be in kilowatt hour, we transform the watt measurement of the bulbs into kilowatt thus:
60watt incandescent bulb = 0.06kw
7watt led bulb = 0.007kw
National average cost of electricity per kilowatt hour is $1.21
Cost per kWh using incandescent bulb is 1.21 × 0.06 = $0.0726
Cost per kWh using led bulb is 1.21 × 0.007 = $0.00847
(A) WITH INCANDESCENT
0.06kw × 500hrs/year = 30kwhrs/year
Cost of electricity bill = 1.21 × 30 =$36.3
Your 10% return = $3.63
Break even cost per year, in kWh is = 36.3 - 3.63 = $32.67
(B) WITH LED
0.007kw × 500hrs/year = 3.5kwhrs/year
Cost of electricity bill = 1.21 × 3.5 = $4.235
Your 10% return = $0.4235
Break even cost per year in kWh is = 4.235 - 0.4235
(C) The incandescent bulb costs $0.45 but draws you a bill of $32.67 a year WHILE the led bulb costs $2.25 but draws you a bill of $3.8115
We conclude hence, that light-emitting diode bulbs make financial sense. Overlook the cost of purchasing the bulb because it uses less kilowatts per hour and draws you a very low bill, compared to the incandescent bulb!
Many large, packaged goods marketers like Procter & Gamble, Kraft, and Pillsbury have used the product manager (or brand manager) system of marketing organization and implementation. Which of the following is the key advantage of this system?
A. Product managers have relatively little authority
B. Product managers are short-term in their orientation
C. Product managers have direct responsibility for research and development of new products
D. Product managers can assume profit-and-loss responsibility for the performance of the product line
E. Product managers have line responsibility over sales managers
Answer:
C. Product managers have direct responsibility for research and development of new products
Explanation:
The position of Product manager is an all-encompassing role. He is tasked with the job of ensuring the members of the team are up and doing; he ensures each member of the team supplies considerable input to the end that the team effort can be evidently seen. The Product manager is also saddled with the responsibility of ensuring swift communication amidst all parties; he splits complex tasks into easily understandable processes. He sets the target and goal for each team member; he is the one who accesses and optimizes team members' performances.
Despite and inspite of these varying responsibilities, the biggest and most vital task of the Product manager is to research products, assess the market (customers), create services/products which are innovative and solve critical problems thereby, adding value to the customer base. The more information he has about the market and need of the customers, the better he is able to tailor the products and services rendered to address those needs. Overall, the Product manager due to his extensive involvement and oversight, he ensures that the chances of product failure is significantly reduced.
In the light of the explanation above, Option C. (Product managers have direct responsibility for research and development of new products) is the correct answer.
Lloyd Inc. has sales of $250,000, a net income of $20,000, and the following balance sheet: Cash $51,000 Accounts payable $63,600 Receivables 118,800 Notes payable to bank 40,800 Inventories 294,000 Total current liabilities $104,400 Total current assets $463,800 Long-term debt 82,800 Net fixed assets 136,200 Common equity 412,800 Total assets $600,000 Total liabilities and equity $600,000 The new owner thinks that inventories are excessive and can be lowered to the point where the current ratio is equal to the industry average, 2.5x, without affecting sales or net income. If inventories are sold and not replaced (thus reducing the current ratio to 2.5x); if the funds generated are used to reduce common equity (stock can be repurchased at book value); and if no other changes occur, by how much will the ROE change? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places. % What will be the firm's new quick ratio? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
If inventories are sold and not replaced (thus reducing the current ratio to 2.5x); if the funds generated are used to reduce common equity (stock can be repurchased at book value); and if no other changes occur The ROE will be of 9.4%
The firm's new quick ratio is 3.95
Explanation:
To calculate how much will the ROE change we have to calculate first the current ratio as follows:
Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities
2.5 times = (Cash + receivables + Inventories ) / (Accounts payable + Other current liabilities)
2.5 = ($51,000 + $118,800 + Inventories) / $104,400
$169,000 + inventories = $261,000
Inventories = $92,000
Therefore, $202,000 worth of inventories were sold off.
If the funds generated are used to reduce the common equity that is by repurchasing the equity at book value.
Hence, the common equity amounts to $210,800
Calculating the ROE before the inventory is sold off:
ROE = Net income / Steockholder's equity
= $20,000 / $412,800
= 0.048 or 4.8%
Calculating the ROE after selling off the inventory:
ROE = $20,000 / $210,800
= 0.094 or 9.4%
If inventories are sold and not replaced (thus reducing the current ratio to 2.5x); if the funds generated are used to reduce common equity (stock can be repurchased at book value); and if no other changes occur The ROE will be of 9.4%
The firm's new quick ratio is
Quick ratio = (Current assets - Inventories) / Current liabilities
= ($463,800 - $92,000) / $104,400
= 3.95

The main cause of downsizing, refocusing, and outsourcing during the latter part of the 20th century was: Group of answer choices (a) Developments in IT—especially the advent of the internet (b) A more turbulent business environment Both (a) and (b) Neither (a) nor (b)
Answer: Both (a) and (b)
Explanation:
Developments in IT—especially the advent of the internet
The latter 20th century saw many technological changes as the world evolved in IT. Markets that were not previously accessible became more accessible and many new products were created and flourished. The internet brought markets and people together and there was an immense opportunity for growth and success. This forced companies to adapt to the new environment because failure to take advantage on the new opportunities that IT offered could spell doom. Companies responded by downsizing to take advantage of better production technologies that required less people, they refocused their strategies to enable higher productivity and with IT making the world so interconnected, they were able to outsource production to cheaper places knowing that they could maintain regular contact with such place. These are but a few reasons why.
A more turbulent business environment.
The latter 20th century also saw a wave of turbulence in the business world. With a rise in nationalistic feelings and conflict that made acquiring raw materials harder such as the oil crises of the '70s and the 80s. This as well as the presence of more companies which led to increased competition forced some companies to engage in actions necessary for survival. They had to downsize, refocus and sometimes outsource to remain profitable.
g Lydia, a citizen of Italy, produces scarves and purses that she sells to department stores in the United States. Other things the same, these sales a. increase U.S. net exports and have no effect on Italian net exports. b. decrease U.S. net exports and have no effect on Italian net exports. c. increase U.S. net exports and decrease Italian net exports. d. decrease U.S. net exports and increase Italian net exports.
Answer:
d. decrease U.S. net exports and increase Italian net exports.
Explanation:
As it is given that
Lydia, who is a citizen of Italy produced scarves and purses in order to sell to the department stores in the united states keeping other things constant. So the sales would reflect an increased in the net exports of Italian as she is a producer and sell its products to the united states and at the same time it decreased or decline the net exports of united states
The net exports is
= Exports - imports
Hence, the correct option is d.
