Answer:
a. Allocating cost using direct advertising costs
We have:
Cost allocated to New Cars = $60,000
Cost allocated to Used Cars = $48,000
Cost allocated to Parts and Service = $12,000
b. Allocating cost using Newspaper ad space
We have:
Cost allocated to New Cars = $72,000
Cost allocated to Used Cars = $36,000
Cost allocated to Parts and Service = $12,000
c. Allocating cost using Sales
We have:
Cost allocated to New Cars = $60,000
Cost allocated to Used Cars = $48,000
Cost allocated to Parts and Service = $12,000
Explanation:
Given:
New Cars Used Cars Parts and Service
Direct advertising costs $30,000 $24,000 $6,000
Newspaper ad space 60% 30% 10%
Sales $250,000 $200,000 $50,000
The costs allocated to each department can now be calculated as follows:
a. Allocating cost using direct advertising costs
The indirect advertising costs can be allocated using the following formula:
Cost allocated to a department = (Direct advertising costs of the department / Sum of direct advertising costs of the 3 departments) * Indirect advertising costs ................... (1)
Using equation (1), we have:
Cost allocated to New Cars = ($30,000 / ($30,000 + $24,000 +$6,000)) * $120,000 = $60,000
Cost allocated to Used Cars = ($24,000 / ($30,000 + $24,000 +$6,000)) * $120,000 = $48,000
Cost allocated to Parts and Service = ($6,000 / ($30,000 + $24,000 +$6,000)) * $120,000 = $12,000
b. Allocating cost using Newspaper ad space
The indirect advertising costs can be allocated using the following formula:
Cost allocated to a department = Percentage of Newspaper ad space of the department * Indirect advertising costs ................... (2)
Using equation (2), we have:
Cost allocated to New Cars = 60% * $120,000 = $72,000
Cost allocated to Used Cars = 30% * $120,000 = $36,000
Cost allocated to Parts and Service = 10% * $120,000 = $12,000
c. Allocating cost using Sales
The indirect advertising costs can be allocated using the following formula:
Cost allocated to a department = (Sales of the department / Sum of Sales of the 3 departments) * Indirect advertising costs ................... (3)
Using equation (3), we have:
Cost allocated to New Cars = ($250,000 / ($250,000 + $200,000 + $50,000)) * $120,000 = $60,000
Cost allocated to Used Cars = ($200,000 / ($250,000 + $200,000 + $50,000)) * $120,000 * $120,000 = $48,000
Cost allocated to Parts and Service = ($50,000 / ($250,000 + $200,000 + $50,000)) * $120,000 * $120,000 = $12,000

Heidi is having trouble understanding the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement and why her workplace sent out an email affirming the company's commitment to diversity and inclusion. This is probably because as a white woman from a small town with little exposure to diversity efforts, Heidi has not had much education about what BLM is trying to accomplish. She is wrestling with this new information about systemic racism and ultimately dismisses it as unfounded because it is contrary to her past experiences. This is an illustration of which of the following?
a. Stereotyping
b. An entrenched mental model
c. Leader-Member Exchange Theory
d. Ethnocentrism
e. Social Identity Theory
Answer:
e. Social Identity Theory
Explanation:
It is correct to state that the scenario in the question above refers to the theory of social identity, which is a theory that seeks to explain how the categorization of groups such as those based on culture, social class, race, age, directly impact the life of an individual and their perception of the world. Psychology seeks to analyze how important it is for an individual to belong to a group and to form an identity based on the collective of that group, that is, to form a society.
Therefore, the theory of social identity suggests that there is an inclination for individuals to overestimate the characteristics of the group to which they belong and to minimize the characteristics of other groups, which can generate prejudice, racism and apathy, which is what happened with Heidi, who considered information about systemic racism unfounded by the fact that they are contrary to their previous experiences.

There are some excellent free personal finance apps available: Mint, GoodBudget, Mvelopes, BillGuard, PocketExpense, HomeBudget, and Expensify. After using Mint, you realize you need to pay off one of your high interest loans to reduce your interest expense. You decide to discount a $5,250, 345-day note at 3% to your bank at a discount rate of 4.5% on day 210. What are your proceeds
Answer: $5309.86
Explanation:
The proceeds will be calculated as:
Face value of note = $5250
Interest rate = 3%
Note tenure = 345
Number of days used = 360
Outstanding interest on note = $5250 × 3% × 345/360 = $150.94
Gross Proceeds = $5250 + $150.94 = $5400.94
Bank Discount rate = 4.5%
Discounting days = 210
Time if maturity left = 345 - 210 = 135
Discount rate for 135 days = 4.5%/360 × 135 = 1.69%
Discount value = $5400 × 1.69% = $91.14
Net proceeds after discount = $5400 - $91.14 = $5309.86
Frasquita acquired equipment from the manufacturer on 6/30/2021 and gave a noninterest-bearing note in exchange. Frasquita is obligated to pay $550,000 on 4/30/2022 to satisfy the obligation in full. If Frasquita accrued interest of $15,000 on the note in its 2021 year-end financial statements, what amount would it have recorded the equipment for on 6/30/2021
Answer:
$525,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what amount would it have recorded the equipment for on 6/30/2021
First step is to calculate the total interest for 10 months;
Based on the information given since the amount of $15,000 was the interest for 6 months in the year 2021 in which the note lasted for 10 months the total interest will be:
Total Interest = 10months/6months x $15,000 Total Interest=$25,000
Now let calculate 6/30/2021 Equipment
6/30/2021 Equipment=$550,000-$25,000
6/30/2021 Equipment=$525,000
Therefore what amount would it have recorded the equipment for on 6/30/2021 is $525,000
Larry estimates that the costs of insurance, license, and depreciation to operate his car total $320 per month and that the gas, oil, and maintenance costs are 14 cents per mile. Larry also estimates that, on average, he drives his car 1,400 miles per month. Required: a. How much cost would Larry expect to incur during April if he drove the car 1,529 miles
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
The question above is incomplete. The concluding part is
b. Would it be meaningful for Larry to calculate an estimated average cost per mile for a typical 1,400 mile month. Yes or No
Given the above information,
a. Total number of miles driven = 1.529 miles
Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost × Number of miles driven
= $320 + $0.14 × 1,529
= $320 + $214.06
= $534.06
b. Since $320 per month is the fixed, the fixed cost per mile will decrease with the increase in number of miles driven . It means that if he drives less than 1,400 miles , the actual cost will be more than the cost based on predetermined overhead rate of the cost.
No. It would not be meaningful for Larry to calculate an estimated average cost per mile for a typical 1,400 mile month.

Assuming that the underlying demand relation is a linear function of price and income, use your spreadsheet program to obtain least squares estimates of Ohio’s demand for KBC microbrews. Instruction:
If the estimate is negative, enter a negative number (-) in the equation.
Answer:
The least squares estimates of Ohio’s demand for KBC microbrews is Quantity = 1.57Price + 14.00Income.
Explanation:
Note: See Sheet1 of the attached excel for the replication of the data given in the question and Sheet2 for the regression analysis output.
In the third table in the Sheet2, the second column is for the coefficients where, by rounding to 2 decimal places, we have:
Price = 1.57
Income = 14.00
Note: The intercept is 0 because a zero intercept was chosen in the analysi.

Are monopolistically competitive firms efficient in long-run equilibrium? Monopolistically competitive firms A. are productively efficient because they produce at minimum average total cost and they are not allocatively efficient because they produce where price is equal to marginal revenue. B. are not productively efficient because they do not produce at minimum marginal cost and they are allocatively efficient because they produce where price is equal to marginal revenue. C. are not productively efficient because they do not produce at minimum marginal cost and they are allocatively efficient because they produce where marginal cost equals marginal revenue. D. are not productively efficient because they do not produce at minimum average total cost and they are not allocatively efficient because they produce where price is greater than marginal cost. E. are not productively efficient because they do not produce at minimum average total cost and they are not allocatively efficient because they produce where price is less than marginal cost.
Answer:
E)are not productively efficient because they do not produce at minimum average total cost and they are not allocatively efficient because they produce where price is greater than marginal cost.
Explanation:
Monopolistic competition can be regarded as imperfect competition whereby many producers that are competing against each other exist in the market, though they are selling products which can be differentiated from one another. Monopolistically competitive firms do
maximize their profit if their production is at a level where marginal costs as well as its marginal revenues equals. Hence, monopolistically competitive firms are not productively efficient because they do not produce at minimum average total cost and they are not allocatively efficient because they produce where price is greater than marginal cost.
8. A relatively small grocery store chain operates 35 stores in three New England states. Recently, the organization has been facing intensified competition from resource-rich dominant players like Kroger and Walmart, new players with innovative services like Amazon, and new low-cost leaders like Aldi. This small chain is seeing declining sales because it cannot offer consumers the same or better products, services, or prices as any of these competitors. Which type of interorganizational relationship does this describe
Answer:
- Population ecology.
Explanation:
'Population ecology' is characterized as the kind of inter-organizational association in which asserts that the dynamic changes takes places in the level of population as an outcome of the selection of their organization and its failure to replace with the evolution/change in the environment. As per Hannan & Freeman's theory of organizational ecology, an organization(like the grocery store in the given situation) faces decline in sales due to their selection of the orgnaization as the structural inertia of the orgnaization does not allow it to adapt the environmental changes and the changes in demands of the population.
Explain why the U.S. demand for Mexican pesos is downsloping and the supply of pesos to Americans is upsloping. Assuming a system of flexible exchange rates between Mexico and the United States, indicate whether each of the following would cause the Mexican peso to appreciate or depreciate, other things equal: LO3 a. The United States unilaterally reduces tariffs on Mexican products. b. Mexico encounters severe inflation. c. Deteriorating political relations reduce American tourism in Mexico. d. The U.S. economy moves into a severe recession. e. The United States engages in a high-interest-rate monetary policy. f. Mexican products become more fashionable to U.S. consumers. g. The Mexican government encourages U.S. firms to invest in Mexican oil fields. h. The rate of productivity growth in the United States diminishes sharply.
Answer:
A. Appreciate - Mexican goods cheaper, US demand increase
B. Depreciate - high inflation raises price Mexican goods and US demand falls. Supply increases due to cheaper US goods
C. Depreciate - reduction of tourism reduces demand for peso
D. Depreciation - recession reduces imports from ME and decreases demand
E. Depreciate - high interest rate attract ME investors. Increase demand for US dollar and supply peso
F. Appreciate - US purchase pesos to invest in ME. Demand increases
H. Appreciate - decline in productivity reduces US investment. Decrease supply of pesos
Explanation:
The U.S demand for Mexican pesos is downward sloping which implies negative relation between exchange rate (price of per unit mexican pesos in terms of dollars) and demand for mexican pesos. When this price increases (U.S currency depreciates) the import from Mexico becomes expensive by U.S residents, therefore they would import less and hence lower demand of mexican pesos. Similarly the import from Mexico increases this implies more demand of mexican pesos when price of mexican pesos falls (U.S currency appreciates).
The supply of Mexican pesos to Americans is upward sloping because of positive relationship between price of mexican pesos in terms of U.S dollars and supply of mexican peso. when this price increases (U.S currency depriciates) the mexican people would demand more of U.S goods, therefore export of U.S to Mexico increases that means more supply of mexican pesos to Americans. Similarly, when this price falls (U.S currency appreciates) the U.S goods to Mexico becomes more expensive, this causes fall in the export and therefore supply of...

a5: % change in cash and cash equivalents in 2016 28.61%
% change in cash and cash equivalents in 2015 -10.68%
Explanation:
a1. Computation for Current ratio using this formula
Current ratio = current assets/current liabilities.
Let plug in the formula
Ratio for fiscal year ending January 31, 2016 = 16993/12526
Ratio for fiscal year ending January 31, 2016 = = 1.357
Ratio for the fiscal year ending February 1, 2015 = 15302/11269
Ratio for the fiscal year ending February 1, 2015 = 1.358
a2. Computation for Quick ratio using this formula
Quick ratio = (Total current assets – inventory – prepaid expenses)/current liabilities.
Let plug in the formula
Ratio for fiscal year ending January 31, 2016 = (16993-11809)/12526
Ratio for fiscal year ending January 31, 2016= 0.414
Ratio for the fiscal year ending February 1, 2015 = (15302-11079)/11269
Ratio for the fiscal year ending February 1, 2015 = 0.375
a3. Computation for Working capital using this formula
Working capital = current assets – current liabilities
Let plug in the formula
Working capital for fiscal year ending January 31, 2016 = 16993-12526
Working capital for fiscal year ending January 31, 2016= 4,467.
Working capital for the fiscal year ending February 1, 2015 = 15302-11269
Working capital for the fiscal year ending February 1, 2015= 4,033.
a4. Computation for % change in working capital in 2016 from prior year
% change in working capital in 2016 from prior year = (4467-4033)/4033
% change in working capital in 2016 from prior year = 10.76%
% change in working capital in 2015 from prior year = (4033-4530)/4530
% change in working capital in 2015 from prior year = -10.97%
a5. Computation for % change in cash and cash equivalents in 2016 from prior year
% change in cash and cash equivalents in 2016 from prior year= (2216-1723)/1723
% change in cash and cash equivalents in 2016 from prior year= 28.61%
% change in cash and cash equivalents in 2015 from prior year = (1723-1929)/1929
% change in cash and cash equivalents in 2015 from prior year= -10.68%
"Which of the following is true? Airfreight A. has lower transporting rates than trucks. B. efficiently delivers all types of goods. C. serves many more locations than trucks. D. is best for goods that are heavy relative to their sales value, such as iron ore. E. can help reduce inventory costs."
Answer:
E. can help reduce inventory costs.
Explanation:
Airfreight can be defined as the transportation or movement of goods from one location to another through the air and use of shipping containers.
A shipping container refers to a metal container made from steel and having the ability or strength to withstand all external factors during shipment or storage of materials. It is an essential part of transportation of goods or materials from one location to another, thereby boosting trade between countries.
The various types of shipping containers are, dry storage container, open-side storage container, ISO Reefer container, flat rack container, tunnel container, open top container, double doors container, thermal containers, intermodal freight container etc.
An inventory cost can be defined as all costs such as carrying cost, stock out (shortage) cost and ordering cost that are associated with the procurement, holding (storage) and management (handling) of inventory.
Generally, airfreight can help to reduce the total logistics cost or inventory cost since it's faster, large and devoid of various impediments when compared with other forms of transportation.
Hence, the true statement about airfreight is that it can help reduce inventory costs.
Allocating Liquidation Between Common Stockholders and Preferred Stockholders The Arcadia Company is liquidating. After paying off all of its creditors, the company has $2 million to distribute between its preferred stockholders and its common stockholders. The aggregate par value of the preferred stock is $1.8 million and the aggregate par value of its common stock is $4 million. How much of the remaining $2 million assets should be distributed to the preferred stockholders and how much should be distributed to the common stockholders
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
The amount that should be distributed to the preferred stockholder would be equivalent to the aggregate par value of the preferred stock i.e. $1.8 million and the remaining value would be distributed to the common stockholders i.e.
= $2 million - $1.8 million
= $0.2 million
Hence, the same would be considered
