ANSWER: The data collected is NOT an appropriate representation that can be used to determine how much you should sell your house.
EXPLANATION: A house is evaluated by the contents which were used to build it. For instance a house built with a bricks can not be of the same value with a wood or block house, even though they have the same pattern.
Because the data does not show the values of the contents of the house, which are: walls, pattern, designs, how many stirs, roof, and interior quality, it cannot be used to determine the price you should sell your house.
Also, looking at the data gotten, you can understand that this houses has been sold according to the contents that made up the building, because some old builder were sold more costlier than some new buildings, and some building with a much bigger square feet were sold in a lower price when compared to some buildings with a smaller square feet

A manufacturer produces 1,000 basketballs each day, which it sells to customers for $30 each. All costs associated with production and sales total $10,000; however, if the manufacturer were to produce one additional basketball per day, total costs would increase to $10,100. From these amounts, we can tell that:________
a. the firm has negative profit.
b. marginal cost equals $100.
c. marginal cost equals $150.
d. marginal cost equals marginal revenue.
Answer:
b. marginal cost equals $100.
Explanation:
Marginal Cost is the cost of one extra unit produced.
Marginal Cost = $10,100 - $10,000 = $100
Marginal revenue is revenue earned per extra j
Unit sold. Marginal revenue equals price. $30
Marginal cost is greater than marginal revenue
Profit = Total revenue - Total cost = (1,000 × $30) - $10,000 = $20,000

Walter, a single taxpayer, purchased a limited partnership interest in a tax shelter in 1993. He also acquired a rental house in 2019, which he actively manages. During 2019, Walter's share of the partnership's losses was $30,000, and his rental house generated $20,000 in losses. Walter's modified adjusted gross income before passive losses is $130,000.
A. Calculate the amount of Walter's allowable deduction for rental house activities for 2017.B. Calculate the amount of Walter's allowable deduction for the partnership losses for 2017.C. What may be done with the unused losses, if anything?
1. The unused losses may be carried.
2. tax years to reduce.
3. income in those years.
Answer:
A. $10,000
B. $0
C. The unused losses may be carried forward to future tax years to reduce passive income in those years.
Explanation:
A. Calculate the amount of Walter's allowable deduction for rental house activities for 2017.
Excess of Walter's modified adjusted gross income before passive losses over $100,000 = $130,00 - $100,000 = $30,000
Allowable deductions = $25,000 - ($30,000 * 50%) = $10,000.
It should be noted that 50 cents, used as 50% above, for each dollar the tax payers modified adjusted gross income exceeds $100,000 is deducted from$25,000 to arrive at allowable deductions. However, there will not be allowable deduction in the case that the modified adjusted gross income is greater $150,000.
B. Calculate the amount of Walter's allowable deduction for the partnership losses for 2017.
Walter is eligible for allowable deduction for the partnership losses for 2017. Therefore, Walter's allowable deduction for the partnership losses for 2017 is $0.
C. What may be done with the unused losses, if anything?
1. The unused losses may be carried forward to future
2. tax years to reduce passive
3. income in those years.
Therefore, this can be joined together as follows:
The unused losses may be carried forward to future tax years to reduce passive income in those years.
Ida Sidha Karya Company is a family-owned company located in the village of Gianyar on the island of Bali in Indonesia. The company produces a handcrafted Balinese musical instrument called a gamelan that is similar to a xylophone. The gamelans are sold for $880. Selected data for the company’s operations last year follow:Units in beginning inventory 0Units produced 280Units sold 240Units in ending inventory 40Variable costs per unit: Direct materials $ 115 Direct labor $ 335 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 35 Variable selling and administrative $ 25 Fixed costs: Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 63,000 Fixed selling and administrative $ 23,000 The absorption costing income statement prepared by the company’s accountant for last year appears below:Sales $ 211,200Cost of goods sold 170,400Gross margin 40,800Selling and administrative expense 29,000Net operating income $ 11,800Required:Determine how much of the ending inventory consists of fixed manufacturing overhead cost deferred in inventory to the next period.
Answer:
Fixed manufacturing cost allocated to inventory= $9,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Units in beginning inventory 0
Units produced 280
Units sold 240
Units in ending inventory 40
Fixed manufacturing overhead $63,000
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable.
First, we need to calculate the unitary fixed manufacturing cost:
unitary fixed manufacturing cost= 63,000/280= $225
Fixed manufacturing cost allocated to inventory= 40*225=$9,000
Sean is a baseball player who earns $890,000 per year playing for team X. If he weren't playing baseball for team X, he would be playing baseball for team Y and earning $660,000 per year. If he weren't playing baseball at all, he would be working as an accountant earning $90,000 per year. What is his economic rent as a baseball player?
Answer: The answer is given below
Explanation:
Economic rent is a payment to a factor of production that is in excess of the costs which are needed to bring the factor into production. It is the payment in excess of the opportunity cost.
Economic rent = Present opportunity - opportunity cost.
Sean is a baseball player who earns $890,000 per year playing for team X. If he weren't playing baseball for team X, he would be playing baseball for team Y and earning $660,000 per year. His economic rent in this case will be:
Economic rent = Present opportunity - opportunity cost.
= $890,000 - $660,000
= $230,000
If he weren't playing baseball at all, he would be working as an accountant earning $90,000 per year. His economic rent in this case will be:
Economic rent = Present opportunity - opportunity cost.
= $890,000 - $90,000
= $800,000
Leona Figueroa is a new employee in the payroll department of Octolium Computers. After working at the company for one week, she asks you why it is so important to submit new hire documentation. What guidance will you offer her
Answer:
The hiring documents of an employee are very important because they allow to legalize and consider as approved the function or work that a worker is going to perform.
Explanation:
The new employee recruitment documentation allows us to check if it is really possible to carry out the hiring for that the documents must be complete as for example there must be a support of the identity document of the employee, a support of the social security as well as the number of affiliation, and a home support. After verification and compliance with these requirements, we proceed to contract.
Suppose subway ridership in New York City declined by 10 percent after a fare increase of 25 cents to $2.75. Using the midpoint method, an estimate of the price elasticity of demand for subway rides is . True or False: According to your estimate, the Transit Authority's revenue rises when the fare increases. True False
Answer: Elasticity is 1.05
False
Explanation:
The Price Elasticity of Demand which measures how demand for goods change in relation to a change in price is calculated by the following formula,
Elasticity of demand = % change in Quantity ÷ % change in Prices
The Midpoint method is a method of estimating price percentage change by dividing the change in price by the AVERAGE of the new price and the old price.
The average of the changes are,
= (2.75 + (2.75 - 0.25))/2
= (2.75 + 2.5)/2
= 2.625
The Midpoint method gives a chance in price of,
= (2.75 - 2.65 )/ 2.625
= 9.5%
The Elasticity is therefore,
= Elasticity of demand = % change in Quantity ÷ % change in Prices
= 10% / 9.5%
= 1.05
According to this, the Transit Authority's revenue will not rise when Fair increases because the Elasticity is quite close to 1. An elasticity of 1 means that when fares increase, people using trains decrease by almost the same amount so revenue remains the same.
Wings Co. budgeted $572,000 manufacturing direct wages, 2,500 direct labor hours, and had the following manufacturing overhead: Overhead Cost Pool Budgeted Overhead Cost Budgeted Level for Cost Driver Overhead Cost Driver Materials handling $ 196,000 4,900 pounds Weight of materials Machine setup 19,600 560 setups Number of setups Machine repair 1,600 32,000 machine hours Machine hours Inspections 16,500 330 inspections Number of inspections Requirements for Job #971 which manufactured 4 units of product: Direct labor 20 hours Direct materials 220 pounds Machine setup 30 setups Machine hours 16,700 machine hours Inspections 15 inspections The total overhead of Job #971 under the ABC costing is:
Answer:
Total allocated overhead= $11,435
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Materials handling $196,000 4,900 pounds
Machine setup $19,600 560 setups
Machine repair $1,600 32,000 machine hours
Inspections $16,500 330 inspections
Job 971
Direct labor 20 hours
Direct materials 220 pounds
Machine setup 30 setups
Machine hours 16,700 machine hours
Inspections 15 inspections
First, we need to calculate the estimated overhead rate for each activity:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Materials handling= 196,000/4,900= $40 per pound
Machine setup= 19,600/560= $35 per setup
Machine repair= 1,600/32,000= $0.05 per machine hour
Inspections= 16,500/330= $50 per inspection
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Materials handling= 40*220= 8,800
Machine setup= 35*30= 1,050
Machine repair= 0.05*16,700=835
Inspections= 50*15= 750
Total allocated overhead= $11,435

Can an object accelerate if it's moving with constant speed? Yup! Many people find this counter-intuitive at first because they forget that changes in the direction of motion of an object—even if the object is maintaining a constant speed—still count as acceleration.Acceleration is a change in velocity, either in its magnitude—i.e., speed—or in its direction, or both. In uniform circular motion, the direction of the velocity changes constantly, so there is always an associated acceleration, even though the speed might be constant. You experience this acceleration yourself when you turn a corner in your car—if you hold the wheel steady during a turn and move at constant speed, you are in uniform circular motion. What you notice is a sideways acceleration because you and the car are changing direction. The sharper the curve and the greater your speed, the more noticeable this acceleration will become. In this section we'll examine the direction and magnitude of that acceleration.The figure below shows an object moving in a circular path at constant speed. The direction of the instantaneous velocity is shown at two points along the path. Acceleration is in the direction of the change in velocity, which points directly toward the center of rotation—the center of the circular path. This direction is shown with the vector diagram in the figure. We call the acceleration of an object moving in uniform circular motion—resulting from a net external force—the centripetal acceleration

The Ramapo Company produces two products, Blinks and Dinks. They are manufactured in two departments, Fabrication and Assembly. Data for the products and departments are listed below. Product Number of units Labor hrs per unit Machine hours per unit Blinks 1,000 4 5 Dinks 2,000 2 8 All of the machine hours take place in the Fabrication department, which has an estimated overhead of $84,000. All of the labor hours take place in the Assembly department, which has an estimated total overhead of $72,000. The Ramapo Company uses a single overhead rate to apply all overhead costs based on labor hours. What is the Single Plantwide Factory Overhead Rate for Blinks? Group of answer choices $19.50 $37.45 $78.00 $56.00
Answer:
Single Overhead Absorption rate = $19.5 per hour
Explanation:
Overhead absorption rate = Estimate overhead /Estimated labor hours
Estimated overhead = $84,000 + $72,000= 156 000
Estimated labour hours= ( 1000×4) + (2000× 2)=8,000 hours
Overhead absorption rate = 156,000/8,000 hours =$19.5 per hour
Single Overhead Absorption rate = $19.5 per hour
Evans Ltd. is now considering the possibility of offering a lifetime membership option to its subscribers. Under this proposal, subscribers could receive the monthly newsletter throughout their lives by paying a flat fee of $480. The one-year subscription rate of $40 would continue to apply to new and existing subscribers who choose to subscribe on an annual basis. Assume that the average age of Evans Ltd.'s current subscribers is 38 and their average life expectancy is 78 years. Evans Ltd.'s average interest rate on long-term debt is 12%.
Using the information given, calculate the present value of a lifetime membership for an average. (Round PV factors to 4 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer: $329.75
Explanation:
The one year subscription is $40 per year. It is estimated that the average age of current subscribers is 38 and they will leave on average to 78. This means that they will leave for,
= 78 - 38
= 40 years
Evans Ltd average interest rate on long-term debt is 12% so this means that we can use that 12% as a discount rate for the cash-flow expected.
I have attached a Present Value Interest Factor of an Annuity table to this question. It helps calculate annuities faster.
The above can be treated as an annuity because the $40 is constant every year.
The present value of the $40 over 40 years can be calculated by,
= $40 * present value Interest Factor of an Annuity for 40 years at 12% (look at the table for where 40 years on the y axis intersects with 12% on the x axis)
= $40 * 8.2438 (this is the figure when it is not rounded off to 3 dp)
= $329.752
= $329.75
This shows that the lifetime flat fee of $480 is more profitable for Evans Ltd as opposed to the yearly subscription. They should therefore try to sell more of the lifetime contract with the flat fee.
In January 2017, Crane Company, a newly formed company, issued 9500 shares of its $8 par common stock for $13 per share. On July 1, 2017, Crane Company reacquired 950 shares of its outstanding stock for $10 per share. The acquisition of these treasury sharesa. increased total stockholders' equity.b. decreased the number of issued shares.c. decreased total stockholders' equity.d. did not change total stockholders' equity.
Answer:
The correct option is C, decreased total stockholders' equity
Explanation:
By reacquiring 950 shares out of the issued shares of 9,500 shares ,the company takes possession of the 950 shares and give cash to stockholders in return for the shares repossessed.
As a result the total stockholders' equity would reduce, this is usually accounted for by deducting the cost of such repurchase from total stockholders' equity in the equity section of the balance sheet

Victory Company uses weighted-average process costing to account for its production costs.
Conversion costs are added evenly throughout the process.
Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process.
During November, the company transferred 800,000 units of product to finished goods.
At the end of November, the work in process inventory consists of 187,000 units that are 60% complete with respect to conversion.
Beginning inventory had $192,465 of direct materials and $159,635 of conversion cost.
The direct material cost added in November is $1,288,035 and the conversion cost added is $3,033,065.
Beginning work in process consisted of 74,000 units that were 100% complete with respect to direct materials and 80% complete with respect to conversion.
Of the units completed, 74,000 were from beginning work in process and 726,000 units were started and completed during the period.
Required:1. Determine the equivalent units of production with respect to direct labor and direct materials.2. Compute both the direct labor cost and the direct materials cost per equivalent unit. (Round "Cost per EUP" to 2 decimal places.)3. Compute both direct labor cost and direct materials cost assigned to units completed and transferred out and ending goods in process inventory. (Round "Cost per EUP" to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
1. Direct Materials = 987,000 units , Direct Labor = 912,200 units
2.Direct Materials = $1.50 , Direct Labor = $3.50
3.
Units Completed and Transferred Costs
Direct Materials = $ 1,200,000
Direct Labor = $ 2,800,000
Ending goods in process inventory cost
Direct Materials = $ 280,500
Direct Labor = $ 392,700
Explanation:
First step is to determine the equivalent units of production with respect to direct labor and direct materials
Direct Materials
Note : Materials are added at beginning of the process hence, they are 100 % complete for both units categories
Units Completed and Transferred (800,000 × 100%) = 800,000
Units of Ending Work In Process (187,000 × 100%) = 187,000
Equivalent units of production = 987,000
Direct Labor
Note : Conversion costs are added evenly throughout the process, hence we need to establish units to the extent of work done.
Units Completed and Transferred (800,000 × 100%) = 800,000
Units of Ending Work In Process (187,000 × 60%) = 112,200
Equivalent units of production = 912,200
The next step is to Calculate the Total Cost of Production with respect to direct labor and direct materials incurred during the period.
Direct Materials
Cost in Opening Work In Process = $192,465
Cost added during the period = $1,288,035
Total Costs = $1,480,500
Conversion
Cost in Opening Work In Process = $159,635
Cost added during the period = $3,033,065
Total Costs = $3,192,700
Then use the above data to calculate the cost per equivalent unit for direct labor and direct materials.
Cost per equivalent unit. = Total Cost / Total Equivalent units
Direct Materials = $1,480,500 / 987,000 = $1.50
Direct Labor = $3,192,700 / 912,200 = $3.50
CONCLUSION :
Units Completed and Transferred Costs
Direct Materials = (800,000 × $1.50) = $ 1,200,000
Direct Labor = (800,000 × $3.50) = $ 2,800,000
Ending goods in process inventory cost
Direct Materials = (187,000 × $1.50) = $ 280,500
Direct Labor = (112,200 × $3.50) = $ 392,700
A country produces melons and wheat. 1.) Using the 3-point curved line drawing tool, draw a representative PPC for this country. Label it 'PPC'. 2.) Using the point drawing tool, show a production point that is efficient. Label it 'A'. 3.) Using the point drawing tool, show a production point that is attainable but not efficient. Label it 'BE'. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects.
Answer:
1.) Using the 3-point curved line drawing tool, draw a representative PPC for this country. Label it 'PPC'.
I have attached a picture below. It shows a simple possibilities frontier for a country that can produce up to 16 units of melons and wheat.
2.) Using the point drawing tool, show a production point that is efficient. Label it 'A'
Producition points that are efficient are any points on the curve. Producing 16 melons and 0 wheat is efficient because all economic resources are being used to produce the maximum amount of a good that is possible. Producing 8 melons, and 8 units of wheat is also efficient for the same reason.
3.) Using the point drawing tool, show a production point that is attainable but not efficient.
Any point inside the curve would be inefficient because resouces would be used to produce less than the maximum amount possible. For example, if 15 units of wheat are produced, but less than one unit of melon is produced, then, there is inefficiency, because 1 unit of melon should be produced in that case.
On February 18, 2021, Union Corporation purchased 600 IBM bonds as a long-term investment at their face value for a total of $600,000. Union will hold the bonds indefinitely, and may sell them if their price increases sufficiently. On December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2022, the market value of the bonds was $580,000 and $610,000, respectively.Required:2. & 3. Prepare the adjusting entry for December 31, 2021 and 2022. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
Answer:
Dr unrealized holding gains and losses—OCI $20,000
Cr investment in bonds fair value adjustment $20,000
Dr investment in bonds fair value adjustment $30,000
Cr unrealized holding gains and losses—OCI $30,000
Explanation:
On 31st December 2021 the adjustment required is the difference between the cost of bond investment of $600,000 and the market value of the bonds which was $580,000, in a nutshell a unrealized loss of $20,000 is recorded.
The excess of fair value of market value of $610,000 over the previous year market value would be debited to fair value adjustment while it is also credited to unrealized holding gains and losses-OCI
You work for a marketing firm that has just landed a contract with Run-of-the-Mills to help them promote three of their products: guppy gummies raskels, and cannies. 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, you know that complements are typically consumed together while substitutes can take the place of other goods. Run-of-the-Mills provides your marketing firm with the following data: When the price of guppy gummies increases by 5%, the quantity of raskels sold decreases by 4% and the quantity of cannes sold increases by 5%. Your job is to use the cross-price elasticity between guppy gummies and the other goods to determine which goods your marketing firm should advertise together Complete the first column of the following table by computing the cross-price elasticity between guppy gummies and raskels, and then between guppy gummies and cannies. In the second column, determine if guppy gummies are a complement to or a substitute for each of the goods listed. Finally, complete the final column by indicating which good you should recommend marketing with guppy gummies. Relative to Guppy Gummies Cross-Price Elasticity of Demand Complement or Substitute Recommend Marketing with Guppy Gummies Raskels Cannies
Answer:
See explanation below
Explanation:
Here, when the price of guppy gummies increases by 5%, the quantity of raskels sold decreases by 4% and the quantity of cannes sold increases by 5%.
i.e, % change in price of guppy grummies = 5%
% change in quantity of raskels = -4%
% change in quantity of cannes = 5%
i) Find the Cross price elasticity of demand between guppy grummies and raskels. Use the expression below.
% change in quantity demanded of raskels / % change in price of guppy gummies
= -4% / 5%
= -0.8
Substitute goods have a negative cross price elasticity of demand. Since, the cross price elasticity of demamd here is negative, the goods are substitute.
It is recommended not to advertise raskels with guppy grummies
ii) Find the Cross price elasticity of demand between guppy grummies and cannes. Use the expression below.
% change in quantity demanded of cannes / % change in price of guppy gummies
= 5% / 5%
= 1
Complement goods have a positive cross price elasticity of demand. Since, the cross price elasticity of demamd here is positive, the goods complement each other.
It is recommended to advertise cannes with guppy grummies.
Toward the end of the selection process, Eleanor is one of two final candidates. She meets with the company's executive vice-president in her third interview, and they spend most of the time discussing Eleanor's experiences working in different corporate cultures. This interview is likely a structured interview.A. TrueB. False
Answer:
The correct answer is the option A: True.
Explanation:
To begin with, the term of "structured interview" refers to the type of interview that is previously planned in order to already had the questions by the time the person comes to the interview, and therefore that it does not implicates to be doing questions at random. Moreover, it is used in order to gain time and to obtain the major amount of information about the person that the interviewer wants. That is why, that in this case is likely an structured interview due to the fact that the employeer already knew what he wanted to know about the person and therefore he is focus on having that information, in this case, previous experience work.

Answer:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Explanation:
Geoffrey, Suzanne, Jay, and Emma are college roommates. They're trying to decide where the four of them should go for spring break: Las Vegas or Vail. If they order the tickets by 10:00 PM on February 1, the cost will be just $500 per person. If they miss that deadline, the cost rises to $1,200 per person.
The following table shows the benefit (in dollar terms) that each roommate would get from the two trips.
Roommate Benefit from Las Vegas Benefit from Vail
Geoffrey $600 $1,300
Suzanne $850 $850
Jay $900 $700
Emma $1,100 $650
The roommates tend to put off making decisions. So, when February 1 rolls around and they still haven't made a decision, they schedule a vote for 9:00 PM that night. In case of a tie, they will flip a coin between the two vacation destinations.
The roommates will get the most total benefit if they choose to go to .
Given the individual benefits each roommate receives from the two trips, which trip will each roommate vote for? Fill in the table with each roommate's preferred location, assuming that a given roommate will abstain if he or she has no preference.
Roommate Vote
Emma
Jay
Suzanne
Geoffrey
Under majority rule, the roommates will vote to go to . Therefore, majority rule leads to an economically outcome.
Suppose Emma misses the vote, leaving Geoffrey, Suzanne, and Jay to figure out where they're going to go.
Geoffrey and Jay argue for their preferred destinations, but Suzanne offers to vote with Geoffrey if Geoffrey will vote on her side in an upcoming class election. This is an example of:________.
Answer: Please refer to explanation
Explanation:
1. The roommates will get the most total benefit if they choose to go to ________.
To answer this, you add the total benefit they could all get from going to either Las Vegas or Vail.
Las Vegas
= 600 + 850+ 900 + 1,100
= $3,450
Vail
= 1,300 + 850+ 700 + 650
= $3,500
The room mates in total will get a higher benefit if they choose to go to Vail.
2. Which location will each pick based on their benefits.
Emma gets a higher benefit if they go to Las Vegas so they will pick that.
Jay gets a higher benefit if they go to Las Vegas as well so they will pick that.
Suzanne will abstain as both places give them the same benefit.
Geoffrey gets a higher benefit if they go to Vail so they will pick that.
3. Under majority rule, the roommates will vote to go to ________ .
They will vote to go to Las Vegas because Emma and Jay will vote for it, Suzanne will abstain and Geoffrey will vote for Vail meaning 2 votes out of 3 for Las Vegas.
4. Therefore, majority rule leads to an economically _______ outcome.
Inefficient outcome because in total they will get a smaller benefit going to Las Vegas as opposed to Vail.5. This is an example of:________.
Logrolling
Logrolling is a practice by which people promise to mutually support each other at different times. Simply speaking, one will support the other in exchange for the other supporting the one at some later period in time. This is the deal that Suzanne offer Geoffrey.
