Answer:
Mark-up =22.64%
Explanation:
Profit = Return on Investment (%) × assets\
Profit = 25% × 700,000 = 175,000
Total variable cost = (4.60+ 1.88+ 1.13+ 4.50 )× 60,000= 726600
Total cost = Total variable cost + total fixed cost
= 726600 + 38,700+ 7,500= 772800
Mark-up = profit/cost × 100
= 175,000/726,600 × 100 = 22.64%
Mark-up =22.64%

Answer: problem-solution
Explanation:
Here is the complete question:
Elisha Levi believes that a flexible, customized approach to selling is best when dealing with highly complex products or services. She typically performs an in-depth study of a prospect's needs before developing a well-planned presentation. Levi obviously favors the ___________ presentation method.
a. Memorized
b. Stimulus response
c. Problem-solution
d. Need satisfaction
e. Formula
The problem-solution presentation is a form of presentation that is flexible and also a customized approach whereby the presenter will give an in-depth analysis of the needs of the prospect. It should also be noted that the problem solution presentation requires a presentation that has been well-planned. This method is good for negotiations and complex products.
A man works for a marketing firm that has just landed a contract with Run-of-the-Mills to help them promote three of their products: splishy splashies, frizzles, and kipples. All of these products have been on the market for some time, but, to entice better sales, Run-of-the-Mills wants to try a new advertisement that will market two of the products that consumers will likely consume together. As a former economics student, a man knows that complements are typically consumed together while substitutes can take the place of other goods.
Run-of-the-Mills provides man's marketing firm with the following data: When the price of splishy splashies decreases by 5%, the quantity of frizzles sold increases by 4% and the quantity of kipples sold decreases by 6%. A man's job is to use the cross-price elasticity between splishy splashies and the other goods to determine which goods to a man marketing firm should advertise together.
Complete the first column of the following table by computing the cross-price elasticity between splishy splashies and frizzles, and then between splishy splashies and kipples. In the second column, determine if splishy splashies are a complement to or a substitute for each of the goods listed. Finally, complete the final column by indicating should be recommended marketing with splishy splashies.Relative to Splishy Splashies Recommend Marketing with Splishy Splashies
Cross-Price Elasticity of Demand Complement or Substitute
Frizzles _____ _____ _____
Kipples _____ _____ _____
Answer and Explanation:
According to the given situation, when the amount of splishy splashies decrease by 5%, quantity of frizzles increases by 4%.
So, The cross price elasticity of frizzles relative to splishy splashies = Percentage change in quantity demand for frizzles ÷ Percentage change in price for splishy splashies
= 4 ÷ -5
= -0.80
Now,
Cross-price elasticity between splishy splashies and kipples = Percentage change in quantity demand for Kipples ÷ Percentage change in price for splishy splashies
= -6% ÷ -5%
= 1.20
b. Since there is negative cross-price elasticity between splishy splashies and frizzles, these products are complementary.
The elasticity of the cross-price between splendid splashies and kipples is positive, these goods being substitutes.
c. Here, I would therefore recommend Raskels marketing, since these two are used together.
The required Table are as shown below:-
Particulars Cross-Price Elasticity Complements Recommended
of Demand or Substitute Marketing with
splishy splashies
Frizzles 0.80 Complements Yes
Kipples 1.20 Substitute No

You buy a share of The Ludwig Corporation stock for $21.40. You expect it to pay dividends of $1.07, $1.1449, and $1.2250 in Years 1, 2, and 3, respectively, and you expect to sell it at a price of $26.22 at the end of 3 years.
A. Calculate the growth rate in dividends.
B. Calculate the expected dividend yield .
C. Assuming the calculated growth rate is expected to continue, you can add the dividend yield to the expected growth rate to get the expected total rate of return. What is the stock
Answer:
A. the growth rate in dividends = 7.00%
B. Expected dividend yield = 4.67%
C. Stock's xpected total rate of return = 11.67%
Explanation:
A. Calculate the growth rate in dividends
Current dividend growth rate = (Current year dividend - Previous year dividend) / Previous year dividend
Therefore,
Year 2 dividend growth rate = ($1.1449 - $1.07) / $1.07 = 0.0700, or 7.00%
Year 3 dividend growth rate = ($1.2250 - $1.1449) / $1.1449 = 0.0700, or 7.00%
This shows that;
Year 2 dividend growth rate = Year 3 dividend growth rate = 7.00%
B. Calculate the expected dividend yield
Dividend yield = Dividend per share / Market price per share
Therefore,
Expected dividend yield = Expected dividend per share in year 3 / Expected market price per share in year 3 = $1.2250 / $26.22 = 0.0467, or 4.67%
C. Assuming the calculated growth rate is expected to continue, you can add the dividend yield to the expected growth rate to get the expected total rate of return. What is the stock
Note: The complete statement is "What is this stock’s expected total rate of return?"
Stock's xpected total rate of return = Growth rate + Expected dividend yield in 3 = 7.00% + 4.67% = 11.67%.
4. You may think of your college or university as an organization that offers a line of different educational products. Assume that you have been hired as a marketing consultant by your university to examine and make recommendations for extending its product line. Develop alternatives that the university might consider: a. Upward line stretch b. Downward line stretch c. Two-way stretch d. Filling-out strategy
Answer:
c. Two-way stretch
Explanation:
For the extension of the product line, the marketing consultant will consider the upwards line stretch as to being In the new products and raise the competition. The two-way stretch can be considered as it allows for the price flexibility to meet both the lower and higher ends customers. A product line extension is a process by which the companies can go beyond their lengths to satisfy the refined segment of the market. It may be done horizontally and vertically.Division A does not have excess capacity to produce Product XX. The division can sell Product XX for $10 per unit outside the company. Variable costs are $6 per unit. Division B wants to purchase Product XX from Division A to use in Product ZZ. The selling price of Product ZZ is $25 per unit and variable costs to finish the product after the transfer are $12 per unit. An outside supplier will sell Product XX for $12 per unit. What is the minimum transfer price for Division A
Answer:
Minimum transfer price = $10
Explanation:
The Division A is operating at full capacity, hence it has no excess capacity
This implies that it can not produce enough to meet both the internal demand (from Division B) and external buyers.
Hence, it implies that Division A can not accommodate the demands of the Division B at a price lower than the external price of $10. Any price lower than $10 would result into a loss in contribution.
To maximize and optimize the group profit
Minimum transfer price = External selling price at which Division A can sell product XX
Minimum transfer price = $10

Atkinson Construction assembles residential houses. It uses a job-costing system with two direct-cost categories (direct materials and direct labor) and one indirect-cost pool (assembly support). Direct labor-hours is the allocation base for assembly support costs. In December 2016, Atkinson budgets 2017 assembly-support costs to be $8,800,000 and 2017 direct labor-hours to be 220,000.At the end of 2017, Atkinson is comparing the costs of several jobs that were started and completed in 2017.Laguna Model Mission ModelConstruction period Feb-June 2017 May-0ct 2017Direct material costs $106,550 $127,450Direct labor costs $ 36,250 $41,130Direct labor-hours 970 1,000Direct materials and direct labor are paid for on a contract basis. The costs of each are known when direct materials are used or when direct labor-hours are worked. The 2017 actual assembly-support costs were $8,400,000, and the actual direct labor-hours were 200,000.Required:1. Compute the (a) budgeted indirect-cost rate and (b) actual indirect-cost rate. Why do they differ?2. What are the job costs of the Laguna Model and the Mission Model using (a) normal costing and (b) actual costing?3. Why might Atkinson Construction prefer normal costing over actual costing?
Answer:
1. Compute the
(a) budgeted indirect-cost rate
$40 per labor hour
and (b) actual indirect-cost rate.
$42 per labor hour
Why do they differ?
Because total assembly support costs and labor hours were different.They both were actually lower than expected, but the labor hours were 9% lower while the costs were around 5% lower. That is why the actual rate increased (denominator decreased more than numerator).
2. What are the job costs of the Laguna Model and the Mission Model using (a) normal costing
Laguna Model Mission Model
assembly-support cost $38,800 $40,000
and (b) actual costing?
Laguna Model Mission Model
assembly-support cost $40,7400 $42,000
3. Why might Atkinson Construction prefer normal costing over actual costing?
The problem with actual costing is that they cannot be budgeted, you can only budget normal costing. Any business has to prepare budgets in order to control how their operations are being carried out and then they need to adjust them to the actual costs incurred.
Explanation:
Laguna Model Mission Model

You purchase both potatoes and gasoline regularly. Your income decreases, and you purchase less gasoline. This means that: Gasoline is a normal good. Potatoes are inferior goods. Gasoline has a negative substitution effect. Gasoline is an inferior good.
Answer:
Gasoline is a normal good
Explanation:
Normal goods are goods that are goods whose demand increases when income increases and falls when income falls
Inferior goods are goods whose demand falls when income rises and increases when income falls.
Because the demand for gasoline falls when income falls, gasoline is a normal good.

Assume the Macro Islands can produce 25 fishing boats or 150 jars of guava jelly in one hour. The Micro Islands can produce 30 fishing boats or 300 jars of guava jelly in the same time period. This data tells an economist that:________. a. the Macro Islands have an absolute advantage in producing fishing boats and the Micro Islands have an absolute advantage in producing guava jelly. b. the Micro Islands have an absolute advantage in producing fishing boats and the Macro Islands have an absolute advantage in producing guava jelly. c. the Macro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing fishing boats and the Micro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing guava jelly. d. the Micro Islands have a comparative in producing fishing boats and the Macro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing guava jelly. the Micro Islands have a comparative and absolute advantage in producing fishing boats.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option C: the Macro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing fishing boats and the Micro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing guava jelly.
Explanation:
To begin with the term of ''comparative advantage'' is refer to the quality of one country in comparison with another to produce in a better way, a more eficient way, a good. Therefore that when a country has a comparative advantage over another country it means that the first country can produce more of a good with less resources that the second country.
That is why, that the Macro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing fishing boats over the Micro islands due to the fact that there is a very little difference with the other country meanwhile the Micro Islands have a comparative advatange in the production of guava jelly due to the amount of goods that it can produce in the same amount of time with the great amount difference in comparison with the Macro Islands. Therefore that one country chooses to produce the good in which it is better in comparison with the other.

Ma Barker Company has a job-order costing system and uses a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs. Manufacturing overhead cost and direct labor hours were estimated at $100,000 and 40,000 hours, respectively, for the year. In July, Job #334 was completed at a cost of $5,000 in direct materials and $2,400 in direct labor. The labor rate is $6 per hour. If Job #334 contained 200 units, the unit product cost on the completed job cost sheet would be:___________.
a) $42.00
b) $39.50
c) $41.90
d) $37.00
Answer:
The correct answer is option (A) $42.00
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
The established rate is given as = 100,000/40,000
= $2.5 per hour
Thus
The cost of the job is shown is shown below:
The direct material = $5,000
The direct labor = $2400
Then
The manufacturing overheard is = 400 * 2.5 = $1,000
So,
The total cost is = $5,000 + $2400 + $1000 = $8,400
To get our unit cost,
Unit cost = $8400/200 = $42.00
It is important to know that, the number of labor hours used in jobs = Total labor cost/Rate per hour
=2,400/6 = 400 hours
Pickup Company acquired 100 percent of the voting common shares of Sedan Corporation by issuing bonds with a par value and fair value of $200,000. Immediately prior to the acquisition, Pickup reported total assets of $600,000, liabilities of $370,000, and stockholders’ equity of $230,000. At that date, Sedan reported total assets of $500,000, liabilities of $300,000, and stockholders’ equity of $200,000. Included in Sedan’s liabilities was an account payable to Pickup in the amount of $50,000, which Pickup included in its accounts receivable.
Based on the preceding information, what amount of total assets did Pickup report in its balance sheet immediately after the acquisition?
a. 1,100,000
b. 1,000,000
c. 800,000
d. 1,600,000
Answer:
c. $800,000
Explanation:
Relevant data provided
Beta reported total assets = $600,000
Fair value of investment = $200,000
The computation of total assets is shown below:-
Total assets did beta report = Beta reported total assets + Fair value of investment
= $600,000 + $200,000
= $800,000
Therefore for computing the total assets did beta report we simply added the beta reported total assets with fair value of investment.
Some construction company has bought a product for $200,000 with a life of three years, and a salvage value of $10,000. Tabulate depreciation and book value using MACRS, Double Declining Balance and straight-line methods. Which method gives the company the largest depreciation after two years?
Answer:
The method that gives the company the largest depreciation after two years is MACRS.
Explanation:
According to given data Under MACS depreciation would be provided for 4 years and the salvage value of the asset would be reduced to zero .
Year depreciation rate Deprecation Book value at the end of the year
1 33.33% 66660 (33.33 % of 200000) 133340
2 44.45% 88900 (44.45 % of 200000) 44440
3 14.81% 29620 (14.81 % of 200000) 14820
4 7.41% 14820 (7.41 % of 200000) 0
Straight line method
The amount of depreciation remains same for three years. The depreciation amount is calculated as
=Original cost- Salvage value / life
= 200000-10000 /3
= 63333.3 $
Year Depreciation Book value at the end of the year
1 63333.33 136666.7
2 63333.33 73333.34
3 63333.33 10000.01
Double declining balance method

Foundational 10-12
What variable manufacturing overhead cost would be included in the company’s planning budget for March?
Answer:
$540,000
Explanation:
The amount on of variable manufacturing overhead cost to be included in the company's planning budget for March is budgeted production units of 20,000 units multiplied by standard direct labor hours of 3 hours per unit multiplied by cost of direct labor hour used for variable overhead which is $9.
budgeted variable overhead cost for March=20,000*3*$9=$540,000.00
However, the actual cost of variable manufacturing overhead for the month is $612,300,hence an adverse variance of $72,300 is recorded ($612,300-$540,000)
Consider the following scenario:
Suppose that a chicken farm uses a nearby stream to dispose of the wastes released by its chickens. These wastes flow downstream into a lake that has become thick with algae and polluted due to the minerals in the waste matter. The local office of a nonprofit environmental organization successfully lobbies state regulators to stop the farm's pollution.
1. Which of the following types of private solutions to the externality of pollution has occurred in this case?
Integration of different types of businesses
Contracts
Moral codes and social sanctions
Charities
2. It's important to note that sometimes private solutions to externalities do not work. For example, this occurs when communications barriers or social customs are important enough relative to the potential gains involved that -------.
Answer: 1. Charities
2. Government action the only viable solution
Explanation:
Externalities are the resultant additional effects that are experienced by others as a result of actions by an economic agent who does not bear the extra aformentioned cost or benefit that their actions bring about.
1. Private Solutions to Externalities include any solution independent of the government.
The above Private Solution is Charities because it was a Non-profit Environmental Organization that dealt with the lobbying for the reduction to be acted upon by state agents. These types of organisations are usually Charities.
2. If it is shown that the potential gains are viewed to be quite high as in this case then negotiating with the polluters might not work. In this case Government Intervention is needed to force the polluters to adhere to rules and regulations.
Lipman Auto Parts, a family-owned auto parts store, began January with $10,300.00 in cash. Management forecasts that collections from credit customers will be $11,400.00 in January and $14,800.00 in February. The store is scheduled to receive $5,000.00 in cash on a business note receivable in January. Projected cash payments include inventory purchases ($13,000.00 in January and $13,600.00 in February) and operating expenses ($2,700.00 each month). Lipman Auto Parts’ bank requires a $10,000.00 minimum balance in the store’s checking account. At the end of any month when the account balance dips below $10,000.00, the bank automatically extends credit to the store in multiples of $1,000.00. Lipman Auto Parts borrows as little as possible and pays back loans in quarterly installments of $2,000.00, plus 4 percent interest on the entire unpaid principal. The first payment occurs three months after the loan.

A local radio commercial costs $600 and reaches an estimated 10,250 listeners. A local cable commercial costs $1000 and reaches an estimated 18,500 viewers. Which medium provides the lowest CPM?
a. The radio commercial
b. The cable commercial
c. The radio and cable commercials have the same CPM
d. The CPM cannot be calculated given the limited information provided
e. None of the above
Answer:
b. The cable commercial
Explanation:
CPM or cost per mille is a measure used in advertising to determine how effectively a promotional message is getting to its audience. It is the cost of getting an advert in front of 1,000 people.
In this scenario when we calculate CPM for the radio station
$600 = 10,250 listeners
x= 1,000 listeners
Cross multiply
x= (600 * 1,000) ÷ 10,250 = $58.54
For the local cable commercial
$1000 = 18,500 viewers
y = 1,000 viewers
Cross multiply
y= (1,000 * 1,000) ÷ 18,500= $54.05
In a closed system one kilogram of carbon dioxide (CO_2) is expanded reversibly from 30 degree C and 200 kPa to 100 kPa pressure. If the expansion is polytropic with n = 1.27, determine the total work, the change in total internal energy, and the total heat transferred in [kJ], Note that for CO_2, R = 188.9 J/kg.K and c_v = 655 J/kg.K. W = -29.05 kJ, DeltaU = -27.19 kJ, Q = 1.860 kJ
Answer:
the total work W = 29.05 kJ
the change in total internal energy is [tex]\mathbf{\Delta U = - 27.19 \ kJ}[/tex]
the total heat transferred in [kJ] is Q = 1.860 kJ
Explanation:
Given that
mass of carbon dioxide in the closed system = 1 kg
Temperature [tex]T_1= 30 ^0 C[/tex] = (273+30 ) K = 303 K
Pressure [tex]P_1 = \ 200 \ kPa[/tex]
Pressure [tex]P_2 = 100 \ kPa[/tex]
polytropic expansion n = 1.27
Note that we are also given the following data set:
R = 188.9 J/kg.K
c_v = 655 J/kg.K
So; for a polytropic process ; [tex]PV^{1.27} = c[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{T_2}{T_1}= ( \dfrac{V_1}{V_2})^{n-1} = (\dfrac{P_2}{P_1})^{\frac{n-1}{n}[/tex]
[tex]T_2 = T_1 [\dfrac{P_2}{P_1}]^{\frac{n-1}{n}[/tex]
[tex]T_2 = 303 [\dfrac{100}{200}]^{\frac{1.27-1}{1.27}[/tex]
[tex]T_2 = 261.48 \ K[/tex]
Since the system does not follow the first order of thermodynamics; To calculate the total work by using the expression:
[tex]W = \dfrac{P_1V_1-P_2V_2}{n-1} = \dfrac{mR(T_1-T_2)}{n-1}[/tex]
[tex]W = \dfrac{1*188.9(303-261.48)}{1.27-1}[/tex]
W = 29048.62222 J
W = 29.05 kJ
Thus, the total work W = 29.05 kJ
The change in internal energy can be expressed by the formula:
[tex]\Delta U = mc_v (T_2-T_1)[/tex]
[tex]\Delta U = 1*655(261.48-303)[/tex]
[tex]\Delta U = -27195.6 \ J[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{\Delta U = - 27.19 \ kJ}[/tex]
Hence; the change in total internal energy is [tex]\mathbf{\Delta U = - 27.19 \ kJ}[/tex]
Finally; to determine the total heat transferred in [kJ]; we go by the expression for the first order of thermodynamics which say:
Total Heat Q = ΔU + W
Q = (-27.19 + 29.05)kJ
Q = 1.860 kJ
Hence; the total heat transferred in [kJ] is Q = 1.860 kJ
An end-of-aisle price promotion changes the price elasticity of a good from −2 to −3. Suppose the normal price is $34, which equates marginal revenue with marginal cost at the initial elasticity of –2. What should the promotional price be when the elasticity changes to –3? (Hint: In other words, what price will equate marginal revenue and marginal cost?)
Answer:
MC = $17
P = $25.5
Explanation:
We proceed as follows;
Firstly calculate MC when e = -2, where MR = MC
(P-MC) / P = 1 / IeI
Here P = $34 and e = -2
(34 - MC) / 34= 1/ I-2I
(34 - MC) / 34= 1 / 2
78-2MC = 34
2MC = 34
MC = 34/2
MC = 17
Now, as we have MC, we will calculate the new price when e = -3
(P-MC) / P = 1 / IeI
(P - 17) / P = 1 / I-3I
(P - 17) / P = 1 / 3
3P -51 = P
2P = 51
P = 51/2
P = 25.5
Charlie the cat stole $20 from his cat mom. He's planning on spending the money he stole on catnip (Q1) and dental treats (Q2). Dental treats are more expensive at $3 per treat, but catnip is pretty cheap at $0.50 per pouch. What will Charlie's budget constraint look like?
Answer:
$ 20= Q1 (0.5 ) + Q3( 3)
Explanation:
Total Amount = $ 20
Dental treats Q2= $ 3
Catnip Q1= $ 0.50
Maximum no of Dental Treats he can get is = $ 20 /$3= 6.66
If he gets maximum dental treats i.e 6 , $18 will be spent (3*6)
He will be left with = $ 20- $ 18= $ 2
The maximum no of catnip he can get after buying 6 dental treats from $ 2= $ 2/$0.5= 4
Let Q1 denote the catnip and Q3 denote the dental treats then the equation would be like
$ 20= Q1 (0.5 ) + Q3( 3)
So putting the values for q1=0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
for values 0-4 Q3 will be $ 18
for values 4-6 Q3 will be $ 15
for values 6-8 Q3 will be $ 12
From values Zero on wards the budget constraint will be a slope but after value 4 the change will be after every two points.
The slope will look like the one given in the diagram.
