Answer:
Because fixed costs will not change, the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income will be equal to the contribution margin of the product once the new component is added.
Explanation:
The contribution margin is equal to: Revenue - Variable Costs.
We already know that the variable cost will be increased by $50 once new component is added, and that monthly sales are expected to increase by 500 units after that.
Depending on the price of the product, the amount sold, and the variable costs, we get the contribution margin, and this contribution margin will be exactly the same as the overall effect on the net operating income.
A firm buys on terms of 3/15, net 45. It does not take the discount, and it generally pays after 85 days. What is the nominal annual percentage cost of its non-free trade credit, based on a 365-day year? The firm's APR of not taking the trade credit is ____. (If you use percent, then do not use the percent sign. Go two places to the right of the decimal point (XX.XX). If you use decimal places, then go four places to the right of the decimal place. 0.XXXX). 0.1613
Answer:
What is the nominal annual percentage cost of its non-free trade credit, based on a 365-day year? The firm's APR of not taking the trade credit is 0.1613.
Explanation:
The nominal cost of its non-free trade credit = the discounts lost for paying late.
In this case, the seller offers a 3% discount if the firm pays within 15 days.
annual financial cost = [discount / (100% - discount)] x [365 / (repayment time - discount period)]
annual financial cost = [3% / (100% - 3%)] x [365 / (85 - 15)] = (3% / 97%) x (365 / 70) = 0.1613 or 16.13%

Suppose that the government spending multiplier is 3.2 and the tax multiplier is 2.9. This means that, if prices are constant, a $200 billion rise in government spending will __________________, and a $200 billion cut in taxes will _____________________.
Answer:
At constant prices, a $200 billion rise in government spending will increase Real GDP by 640 billion
and;
A $200 billion cut in taxes will increase real GDP by 580 billion
Explanation:
Government spending multiplier = 3.2
Tax multiplier = 2.9
Mathematically;
ΔY/ΔG = 3.2
ΔY/200 = 3.2
ΔY = 200 * 3.2
ΔY = 640 billion
Cut in taxes;
Tax multiplier = 2.9
ΔY/ΔT = 2.9
ΔY/200 = 2.9
ΔY = 2.9 * 200
ΔY = 580 billion
Homeowners enjoy many benefits, including a federal tax deduction for state and local property taxes paid. Fishers, Indiana, was voted one of the top 100 best places to live in 2017 by Money magazine. With population of 86,357, a median home price of $236,167, and estimated property taxes at 10.6 mills, how much does the average homeowner pay in property taxes?
Answer:
The average homeowner pay $2,503.37 in property taxes
Explanation:
Population = 86,357
Median home price = $236,167
Estimated property taxes = 10.6 mills
Property Tax 1 Mills equals to 1/1000 Units . That Means Property tax Need to pay $1 For $1000 Assets able value .
Average homeowner pay in property taxes = Home Price × (Mills ÷ 1000)
= $236,167 × (10.6 ÷ 1000)
= $236,167 × 0.0106
=$2,503.37
A company had the following partial list of account balances at year-end: Sales Returns and Allowances $ 1,000 Accounts Receivable 38,000 Sales Discounts 2,100 Sales Revenue 95,000 Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 1,200 How much is net sales revenue
Answer:
$91,900
Explanation:
The computation of net sales revenue is shown below:-
Here, for reaching the net sales revenue we add the sales revenue and deduct the sales return and allowances with sales discounts
Net sales revenue = Sales Revenue - Sales Returns and Allowances - Sales Discounts
= $95,000 - $1,000 - $2,100
= $91,900
Therefore we have applied the above formula.

Shulman Inc. has the following data, in thousands. Assuming a 365-day year, what is the firm's cash conversion cycle? Annual sales = $45,000 Annual cost of goods sold = $30,000 Inventory = $4,500 Accounts receivable = $1,800 Accounts payable = $2,500
Answer:
38.93
Explanation:
Firm Cash Conversion Cycle = Inventory Conversion Period + Average Collection Period - Payable Deferral Period
Inventory Conversion Period = 365 * Inventory / Annual cost of goods sold
365 days * 4500 / 30000 = 54.75
Average Collection Period = 365 days * Account receivable / sales
= 365 * 1800 / 45000 = 14.60
Payable Deferral Period = 365 days * Account payable / sales = 365 * 2500 / 30000 = 30.42
Hence, Firm Cash Conversion Cycle = 54.75 + 14.60 - 30.42 = 38.93
The firm Cash Conversion Cycle is 38.93

Suppose that the world price of oil is $70 per barrel and that the United States can buy all the oil it wants at this price. Suppose also that the demand and supply schedules for oil in the United States are as follows:Price ($ Per Barrel) U.S. Quantity Demanded) U.S. Quantity Supplied68 16 470 15 672 14 874 13 1076 12 12a) Draw the supply and demand curve for the United Statesb) With free trade in oil, what price will Americans pay for their oil? What quantity will Americans buy? How much of this will be supplied by American producers? How much will be imported?
Answer:
The supply and demand curves for the United States are shown in the graphs attached.
Explanation:
Free trade in oil implies that a country in the international oil market can import as much oil as it wants and export as much oil as it wants.
The costs of demand and the revenues obtained in each case are given below:
QD1 cost = 68 × 70 = $4,760
QS1 revenue = 16 × 70 = $1,120
QD2 cost = 470 × 70 = $32,900
QS2 revenue = 15 × 70 = $1,050
QD3 cost = 672 × 70 = $47,040
QS3 revenue = 14 × 70 = $980
QD4 cost = 874 × 70 = $61,180
QS4 revenue = 13 × 70 = $910
QD5 cost = 1076 × 70 = $75,320
QS5 revenue = 12 × 70 = $840

"Cincinnati Supply, Co. is a local supplier to the Kraft Heinz Company, which is the third-largest food and beverage company in North America and the fifth-largest food and beverage company in the world. Cincinnati Supply, Co. purchased new furniture at a cost of $33,000 on January 1. The furniture is estimated to have a useful life of 6 years and a $3,000 salvage value. The company uses the straight-line method of depreciation. What is the amount of depreciation expense reported on December 31
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $5,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchasing price= $33,000
Salvage value= $3,000
Useful life= 6 years
To calculate the depreciation expense under the straight-line method, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (33,000 - 3,000)/6
Annual depreciation= $5,000
Managers can use CSR and sustainability information as important feedback to guide decision making in a variety of areas. Which of the following areas is least likely to be impacted by this feedback?
a. cost control decisions
b. FASB compliance with U.S. GAAP
c. strategic and operational areas
d. resource allocation decisions
Answer:
Option B. FASB compliance with U.S. GAAP
Explanation:
Because FASB is an independent body and publishes amendmends in Accounting standards which are internationally accepted so it has nothing to do with the US GAAP. Our decision making impact can be seen on the matters that are dependent on us not on the things we don't have control of or if they independent body. So the least impacted would be FASB compliance with US GAAP.
Whereas the rest of options are controlled by the managers so they can be easily influenced by the decision making power of the managers.
Causwell Company began 2018 with 11,000 units of inventory on hand. The cost of each unit was $4.00. During 2018 an additional 35,000 units were purchased at a single unit cost, and 21,000 units remained on hand at the end of 2018 (25,000 units therefore were sold during 2018). Causwell uses a periodic inventory system. Cost of goods sold for 2018, applying the average cost method, is $108,750. The company is interested in determining what cost of goods sold would have been if the FIFO or LIFO methods were used. Required: 1. Determine the cost of goods sold for 2018 using the FIFO method. [Hint: Determine the cost per unit of 2018 purchases.] 2. Determine the cost of goods sold for 2018 using the LIFO method.
Answer and Explanation:
For computing the cost of goods sold under two method first we have to determine the cost per unit which is shown below:
The average cost per unit is
= $108,750 ÷ 25,000 units
= $4.35
Now the cost per unit is
Total cost (11,000 units + 35,000 units) × $4.35 $200,100
Beginning units (11,000 units × $4) $44,000
The Remaining cost for 35000 units ($200,100 - $44,000) $156,100
Divide by Purchase cost per unit of 35000 units $4.46
Now the cost of goods sold are as follows
1. Under the FIFO method
Beginning 11,000 × $4.00 $44,000
Purchased 14,000 × $4.46 $62,440
Total 25,000 $1,06,440
2. Under the LIFO method
Purchased 25,000 × $4.46 $1,11,500

In March of 2019, Thomas makes a $5,000 cash contribution to a public university. In that month, he also donates $20,000 to an organization subject to the 30 percent limitation. Thomas has adjusted gross income for 2019 of $30,000. What is the amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction?
Answer:
The amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction is $14,000
Explanation:
In order to calculate the amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction we would have to calculate the following:
amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction =Cash contribution + [30% of adjusted gross income or actual property ,whichever is lower]
amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction = $5,000+ [(30%* $30,000) or $20,000 ,whichever is lower]
amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction =$5,000 [ $9,000 or $20,000]
amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction= $5,000 + $9,000
amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction= $14,000
On July 1, Year 1, Danzer Industries Inc. issued $40,000,000 of 10-year, 7% bonds at a market (effective) interest rate of 8%, receiving cash of $37,282,062. Interest on the bonds is payable semiannually on December 31 and June 30. The fiscal year of the company is the calendar year.
Required:1. Journalize the entry to record the amount of cash proceeds from the issuance of the bonds on July 1, Year 1.2. Journalize the entries to record the following:*A. The first semiannual interest payment on December 31, Year 1, and the amortization of the bond discount, using the straight-line method.
B. The interest payment on June 30, Year 2, and the amortization of the bond discount, using the straight-line method.
3. Determine the total interest expense for Year 1.4. Will the bond proceeds always be less than the face amount of the bonds when the contract rate is less than the market rate of interest?5. Compute the price of $37,282,062 received for the bonds by using the present value tables
Answer:
1. Journalize the entry to record the amount of cash proceeds from the issuance of the bonds on July 1, Year 1.
Dr Cash 37,282,062
Dr Discount on bonds payable 2,717,938
Cr Bonds payable 40,000,000
2. Journalize the entries to record the following:*A. The first semiannual interest payment on December 31, Year 1, and the amortization of the bond discount, using the straight-line method.
Dr Interest expense 1,535,897
Cr Cash 1,400,000
Cr Discount on bonds payable 135,897
B. The interest payment on June 30, Year 2, and the amortization of the bond discount, using the straight-line method.
Dr Interest expense 1,535,897
Cr Cash 1,400,000
Cr Discount on bonds payable 135,897
3. Determine the total interest expense for Year 1.
Interest expense 1,535,897
4. Will the bond proceeds always be less than the face amount of the bonds when the contract rate is less than the market rate of interest?
Yes, when the bond's interest rate is lower than the market rate, the bonds will be sold at a discount (less than face value). The market rate applicable to this bond issuance is the one used for similar bonds, so the market rate can change depending on the bond.
5. Compute the price of $37,282,062 received for the bonds by using the present value tables
the value of the bonds = PV of face value + PV of coupons
PV of face value = $40,000,000 / (1 + 4%)²⁰ = $18,255,478PV of annuity = $1,400,000 x PV annuity 4% for 20 periods = $1,400,000 x 13.59033 = $19,026,462total value = $18,255,478 + $19,026,462 = $37,281,940
There is a small difference, $122, due to rounding errors from the annuity table. But the error is not significant, it represents only 0.0003% of the bonds' price.
Explanation:
issued $40,000,000 of 10-year, 7% bonds at a market (effective) interest rate of 8%, receiving cash of $37,282,062
coupon payment = $40,000,000 x 7% x 1/2 = $1,400,000
semiannual coupon paid December 31 and June 30
Discount on bonds payable $2,717,938 / 20 coupons = $135,896.90 ≈ $135,897 per coupon payment
1. Which of the following is an example of the resource-based view of the firm? a. Philip Morris diversified by purchasing Kraft foods, because they did not want to put money back in the high-risk cigarette business. b. Google hires employees by asking them to fill out a 200-item questionnaire; many of the questions have nothing to do with computers. c. Halliburton takes advantage of the US war budget to bill the government at over $5 per gallon of gasoline. d. Canon manufactures scanners, printers, copiers and cameras, all using its capability in imaging.
Answer:
An example of the resource-based view of the firm is:
d. Canon manufactures scanners, printers, copiers and cameras, all using its capability in imaging.
Explanation:
The resource-based view is a model or framework for examining the potentials an organization possesses to develop a competitive advantage over other competitors. By applying this model, management sees resources as key to superior firm performance. It therefore focuses its attention on internal resources in an effort to identify those assets, capabilities, and competencies with the potential to deliver superior competitive advantages.
The other approaches mentioned do not consider the firm's internal capabilities as a means of competitive advantage.

B)it takes a long time to work whereas other tools are much quicker.
C)this tool is powerful and makes it difficult for bank managers to plan for the future and manage funds as they like.
D)the United States is too large of a country to use this tool.
Answer: this tool is powerful and makes it difficult for bank managers to plan for the future and manage funds as they like.
Explanation:
Reserve requirements are the amount of money that a bank holds in its reserve to ensure that it can meet liabilities in the case of sudden withdrawals. The reserve requirement is a tool that is used by the central bank of a country to either increase or decrease the money supply in the economy and also influence interest rates.
The changes in reserve requirements to conduct monetary policy is not a good idea for the United States because it is a powerful tool which makes it hard for bank managers to make future plans and manage funds as they want. In a situation whereby small variation in the reserve ratio brings about huge changes in an economy, the changes are positive and okay but in a situation whereby they bring about negative effect, it will be hard to face such scenarios.
A firm is about to undertake the manufacture of a product, and is weighing the process configuration options. There are two intermittent processes under consideration, as well as a repetitive focus. The smaller intermittent process has fixed costs of $3,000 per month, and variable costs of $10 per unit. The larger intermittent process has fixed costs of $12,000 and variable costs of $2 per unit. A repetitive focus plant has fixed costs of $50,000 and variable costs of $1 per unit.a. At what output does the large intermittent process become cheaper than the small one?b. At what output does the repetitive process become cheaper than the larger intermittent process?
Answer:
A.$1,125
B.$38,000
Explanation:
Using this formula:
Fixed Cost of Process B- Fixed Cost of Process A ÷Unit Variable cost of Process A – Unit Variable Cost of Process B
a.
Where:
Fixed Cost =$12,000
Fixed Cost =$3,000
Unit Variable =10
Unit Variable =2
Hence:
(12,000-3,000)/ (10-2)
=$9,000/8
= $1,125
This means that large intermittent process become cheaper than the small one by $1,125
b.
Fixed Cost =$50,000
Fixed Cost =$12,000
Unit Variable =2
Unit Variable =1
(50,000-12,000)/ (2-1)
=$38,000/1
= 38,000
This means that repetitive process become cheaper than the larger intermittent process by $38,000
Bob's lawn-mowing service is a profit-maximizing, competitive firm. Bob mows lawns for $30 each. His total cost each day is $320, of which $70 is a fixed cost. He mows 10 lawns a day. In the short run, Bob should____________ . In the long run, Bob should__________ the industry.
Answer:
In the short run, as long as the contribution margin is positive he should continue in the industry. In the long run, if the company keeps losing money, he should leave the industry.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Bob mows lawns for $30 each. His total cost each day is $320, of which $70 is a fixed cost. He mows 10 lawns a day.
First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost:
Total variable cost= 320 - 70= 250
Unitary varaible cost= 250/10= $25
Contribution margin= 30 - 25= $5
In the short run, as long as the contribution margin is positive he should continue in the industry. In the long run, if the company keeps losing money, he should leave the industry.
According to the Marketing Concept, a. Companies produce only what customers want. b. A company should produce only basic products. c. Managements primary task is to convince buyers to purchase what we produce. d. Management’s most important task is to keep production costs low. e. ALL OF THE ABOVE. f. NONE OF THE ABOVE
Answer:
The answer is A
Explanation:
Companies should produce what customers want based on the marketing concept. Companies and customers are dependent on each other. Companies should focus on producing goods which consumers/customers want. These companies should think of what consumers want and the prices they would pay since it is the consumer that creates demand for goods and services that are produced by the company.
Therefore companies should produce only what consumers want else they would produce goods and services with little demand.
On January 1, Year 1, the Accounts Receivable balance was $21,000 and the balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts was $1,900. On January 15, Year 1, an $530 uncollectible account was written-off. What is the net realizable value of accounts receivable immediately after the write-off
Answer:
$19,100
Explanation:
Accounts receivable represents amount owed to a business by its customers for products or services offered. It is payable in the future.
When collection is uncertain the amount is put in doubtful account.
If an amount is confirmed to be uncollectible it is written off as a loss
In this scenario we are calculating realisable value after write-off
Account receivable after write-off = Account receivable balance - Uncollectible amount
Account receivable after write-off= 21,000 - 530= $20,470
Allowance balance after write-off= Doubtful account - Uncollectible account
Allowance balance after write-off= 1,900 - 530 = $1,370
Net realisable value after write-off= 20,470 - 1,370= $19,100
