With a negative GDP gap of $10 billion and an actual GDP of $500 billion, the potential GDP is $510 billion.
What percentage of the actual GDP falls short of the potential GDP?The discrepancy between the real GDP level as it is today and its potential level is known as the output gap. Inflation is likely to occur when the output gap is positive or when GDP exceeds potential because the economy is operating above its sustainable capacity. If GDP is below potential, the production gap is negative.
What exactly is a negative GDP gap?As a result of insufficient demand, a negative gap means that the economy has excess capacity. When there is an output gap, resources are either being employed inefficiently or insufficiently in the economy.

b. Variable cost volume variance is:
= $1,440 U
c. Fixed cost in the flexible budget = $4,800
d. Fixed cost per unit:
1. Planned activity = $2.40
2. Actual activity = $2.18
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Standard price and cost data:
Sales price $ 12.00 per unit
Variable manufacturing cost $ 7.20 per unit
Fixed manufacturing cost $ 3,600 total
Fixed selling and administrative cost $ 1,200 total
Planned production and sales = 2,000 units

Sales volume variance = Actual sales - Standard sales multiplied by Standard price
= 2,200 - 2,000 * $12
= 200 * $12
= $2,400 F
Variable cost volume = Actual production - Standard production multiplied by Standard Variable Cost
= 200 * $7.20
= $1,440 U
Flexible fixed costs:
Fixed manufacturing cost = $ 3,600 total
Fixed selling and administrative cost = $ 1,200 total
Total fixed costs = $4,800
Fixed cost per unit:
Planned activity = $2.40 ($4,800/2,000)
Actual activity = $2.18 ($4,800/2,200)

Rent =Area used by Assembly department / Total Area used by Manufacturing Departments x Total Rent paid
Let plug in the formula
Rent =36,850/ (36,850+30,150) x $736,000
Rent=36,850/67,000*$738,000
Rent=0.55*$736,000
Rent= $404,800
Therefore How much rent is allocable to the assembly department using the direct method of allocation is $404,800
Colonnade Corporation purchased a machine for use in the firm's manufacturing process. The original cost of the machine was $1,800,000. The machine has a class life of 15 years, but after 13 years, the firm has decided to sell the machine for $320,000. If Colonnade has a marginal tax rate of 34%, what is the tax effect associated with the decision
Answer: $27,200
Explanation:
Machine depreciation:
There is no salvage value so depreciation is:
= 1,800,000 / 15
= $120,000
Gain on the machine when sold was:
= Selling price - Book Value of asset
= Selling price - (Cost price - Accumulated depreciation for 13 years)
= 320,000 - (1,800,000 - (120,000 * 13))
= $80,000
Tax on gain:
= 80,000 * 34%
= $27,200

But before that equivalent units should be
= 3,000 ×0%+ (11,500 - 3,000) ×100% + 1,500 × 100%
= 0 + 8,500+ 1,500
= 10,000 units
Now the material cost per equivalent cost is
= $30,000 ÷ 10,000 units
= $3
Hence, the first option is correct

The Allied Corporation analyzes a project that requires an immediate investment of $440. Allied estimates that at the end of the first year the project will generate a cash flow of $660, but that at the end of the second year, when the project ends, it will generate a negative cash flow of $85. The project's required rate of return is estimated to be 7.50%. Calculate the NPV of Allied's project.
Answer:
NPV = $100.4002 rounded off to $100.40
Explanation:
The NPV or net present value is the present value of a project or business's cash flows which are calculated by deducting the cash outflows from the cash inflows. NPV is a tool or criteria used for investment and project appraisal. The NPV can be calculated as follows,
NPV = CF1 / (1+r) + CF2 / (1+r)^2 + .... + CFn / (1+r)^n - Initial Outlay
Where,
CF1, CF2, ... represents the cash flows in Year 1, Year 2 and so on.r represents the discount rateNPV = 660 / (1+0.075) + [ -85 / (1+0.075)^2] - 440
NPV = $100.4002 rounded off to $100.40

Explanation:
One of two methods must be used to produce expansion anchors. Method A costs $80,000 initially and will have a $15,000 salvage value after 3 years. The operating cost with this method will be $30,000 per year. Method B will have a first cost of $120,000, an operating cost of $8,000 per year, and a $40,000 salvage value after its 3-year life. At an interest rate of 8% per year, the present worth of Method B is closest to:
Answer:
At an interest rate of 8% per year, the present worth of Method B is closest to:
= $108,856.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Method A Method B
Initial investment $80,000 $120,000
Salvage value 15,000 40,000
Period of investment 3 years 3 years
Annual operating costs $30,000 $8,000
Interest rate per year 8% 8%
Present value annuity factor = 2.577
Discounted present value factor = 0.794
Present worth:
Method B Method A
Initial investment cost ($120,000 * 1) $120,000 $80,000
Operating costs = ($8,000 * 2.577) = 20,616 77,310
Salvage value = $40,000 * 0.794 = (31,760) (11,910)
Present worth = $108,856 $145,400
b) Using the present worth analysis technique, Method B should be used to produce the expansion anchors, as it costs less than Method A. The present worth analysis method is an equivalence method of discounting a project's cash flows to a single present value. With this analysis, it becomes easier to determine the project that should be accepted or rejected based on their economic realities.

Assume the following: The standard price per pound is $2.00. The standard quantity of pounds allowed per unit of finished goods is 4 pounds. The actual quantity of materials purchased and used in production is 50,800 pounds. The actual purchase price per pound of materials was $2.20. The company produced 13,000 units of finished goods during the period. What is the materials price variance
Answer:
Direct material price variance =$10,160 unfavorable
Explanation:
Direct material price variance occurs when the actual quantity of materials are purchased at an actual price per unit higher or lower than the standard price.
Direct material price variance $
50,800 pounds should have cost (50,800× $2) = 101,600
but did cost (50,800× $2.20) = 111,760
Direct material price variance 10,160 unfavorable
Direct material price variance =$10,160 unfavorable
The materials price variance is $10,160 Unfavorable.
The difference between the standard cost and actual cost for the purchased actual quantity of material is the direct material price variance
The formulae for the direct Materials price variance is (Standard price – Actual price) * Actual quantity purchasedDirect Materials price variance = ($2.00 per pound – $2.20per pound) * 50800 pounds
Direct Materials price variance = ($0.20 * 50,800 pounds) Unfavorable
Direct Materials price variance = $10,160 Unfavorable

Rusty Hardware makes only cash sales. It began 2021 with a credit balance of $33,400 in the refund liability account. Sales during 2021 were $740,000. Rusty estimates that 7% of all sales will be returned. During 2021, customers returned merchandise for credit of $30,800 to their accounts. What is the balance in the refund liability account at the end of 2021
Answer:
$54,400
Explanation:
The balance in the refund liability account would be calculated as;
Ending balance of sales return allowance = Opening balance of allowance + Expected sales return - Actual sales return
Given that;
Opening balance = $33,400
Expected return = $740,000 × 7% = $51,800
Actual return = $30,800
Therefore,
Ending balance of sales returns = $33,400 +$51,800 - $30,800 = $54,400
The balance in the refund liability account at the end of 2021 is $54,400

Crane Sporting Goods expects to have earnings per share of $6 in the coming year. Rather than reinvest these earnings and grow, the firm plans to pay out all of its earnings as a dividend. With these expectations of no growth, Crane's current share price is $60 and the cost of equity capital is 10%. Suppose Crane could cut its divident payout rate to 75% for the foreseeable future and use the retained earnings to open new stores. The return on investment in these stores is expected to be 12%. if we assume that the risk of these new investments is the same as the risk of its existing investments, then the firm's equity cost of capital is unchanged. What effect would this new policy have on Crane's stock price
Answer:
Stock price increases
Explanation:
We need to determine the stock price with the new policy
Stock price can be determined using the constant growth dividend model
according to the constant dividend growth model
price = d1 / (r - g)
d1 = next dividend to be paid
r = cost of equity
g = growth rate
growth rate = retention rate x Return on investment
Retention rate = 1 - payout ratio = 1 - 0.75 = 0.25
growth rate = 0.25 x 12 = 3%
Stock price = 6/(0.10 - 0.03) = $85.71
Under the new policy, stock price increases

PV of purchase cost = 487,000
PV of annual operating cost of $29,000
= 29,000× (1-(1+0.14)^(-6))/0.14
= 112,771.35
Total PV = 487,000 + 112,771.35= 599,771.35
Equivalent annual cost = 599,771.35 /3.889
Equivalent annual cost = 154,235.70
Step 2: Equivalent Annual cost of Machine B
PV of purchase cost = 315,000
PV of annual operating cost of $51,200
= 51,200× (1-(1+0.14)^(-4))/0.14
= 149,182.07
Total PV = 315,000+ 149,182.07
= 464,182.07
Equivalent annual cost = 464,182.07/2.9137
Equivalent annual cost = 159,309.51
Step 3: Compare equivalent Annual cost
Comparing the two equivalent costs, we conclude that Machine A should be purchased because it has a lower equivalent annual cost and therefore it is cheaper.
Brent is a full-time exempt employee in Clark County, Indiana. He earns an annual salary of $39,360 and is paid semimonthly. He is married with 3 withholding allowances. His state income tax is $52.97, and Clark County income tax is $29.52 per pay period. What is the total of FICA, Federal, state, and local deductions per pay period, assuming no Pre-Tax Deductions
Answer:
Federal Income tax ⇒ $80FICA ⇒ $125.46 State income tax ⇒ $52.97Local deduction - Clark County Income tax ⇒ $29.52Explanation:
Brent gets paid semi-monthly so his pay per period is:
= 39,360 / (12 months *2)
= $1,640
Based on the table therefore, his federal tax is:
= $80
This figure is based on the intersection between income of $1,640 and 3 withholding allowances.
FICA tax rate is 7.65% so his FICA tax is:
= 1,640 * 7.65%
= $125.46
State income tax = $52.97
Local deduction - Clark County Income tax = $29.52
Total deductions:
= Federal tax + FICA + State income tax + Clark County income tax
= 80 + 125.46 + 52.97 + 29.52
= $287.95
Logistics Solutions provides order fulfillment services for dot merchants. The company maintains warehouses that stock items carried by its dot clients. When a client receives an order from a customer, the order is forwarded to Logistics Solutions, which pulls the item from storage, packs it, and ships it to the customer. The company uses a predetermined variable overhead rate based on direct labor-hours.
In the most recent month, 160000 items were shipped to customers using 6,500 direct labor-hours. The company incurred a total of $20,800 in variable overhead costs. According to the company's standards, 0.03 direct lab0Fhours are required to fulfill an order for one item and the variable overhead
Required:
a. What is the Standard labor-hours allowed (SHI to ship 160,000 terms to customers?
b. What is the standard variable overhead cost allowed (SH SR) to ship 160,000 items to customers?
c. What is the variable overhead spending variance?
4. What is the variable overhead rate variance and the variable Overhead efficiency variance?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. What is the Standard labor-hours allowed (SHI to ship 160,000 terms to customers?
Actual output = 160,000 items
Standard labour hour per time = 0.03 per time
Standard labor hour allowed = 160,000 × 0.03 = 4800 hours
b. What is the standard variable overhead cost allowed (SH SR) to ship 160,000 items to customers?
Standard variable overhead rate per hour = $3.25
Standard variable overhead cost allowed = 4800 × $3.25 = $15600
c. What is the variable overhead spending variance?
= $15600 - $20800
= $5200 Unfavorable
d. What is the variable overhead rate variance and the variable Overhead efficiency variance
Variable overhead rate variance:
= (Actual hours × Standard rate per hour ) - Actual variable overhead
= (6500 hours × 3.25) - $20800
= $21125 - $20800
= $325 F
Variable overhead efficiency variance:
= $3.25 (4800 - 6500)
= $3.25 (-1700)
= $5525 Unfavorable

(b) a $315 debit balance before the adjustment.
Answer:
A. Dr Bad debt expense $2,079
Cr To Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
$2,079
B. Dr Bad debt expense $3,465
Cr To Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $3,465
Explanation:
(a) Preparation of the year-end adjusting entry to record bad debts expense under the assumption that the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has: a $1,071 credit balance before the adjustment
Dr Bad debt expense $2,079
Cr To Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $2,079
(Being bad debt expense recorded)
Bad debt expense= (Outstanding accounts receivable × uncollectible percentage) - Credit balance
Bad debt expense= ($63,000 × 5%) - $1,071
Bad debt expense= $3,150 - $1,071
Bad debt expense= $2,079
(b) Preparation of the year-end adjusting entry to record bad debts expense under the assumption that the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has:a $315 debit balance before the adjustment.
Dr Bad debt expense $3,465
Cr To Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $3,465
(Being bad debt expense recorded)
Bad debt expense= (Outstanding accounts receivable × uncollectible percentage) - Dredit balance
Bad debt expense= ($63,000 × 5%) - $315
Bad debt expense= $3,150 -+ $315
Bad debt expense= $3,465
