If Karen took 4 hours off from her job to attend the concert, what was her opportunity cost of attending the concert

Answers

Answer:

$25

Explanation:

it said her and her friend.

The opportunity cost for attending the concert is $90. Thus, option (D) is correct.

What is opportunity cost?

Opportunity cost refers to the loss of value or benefit that would result from engaging in a certain activity option in comparison to engaging in an alternative activity that offers a higher return on value or benefit. It gives the value of the best alternative chosen in the process of decision-making.

According to the given question, Karen gets paid $10 per hour for her part-time job. She wanted to attend the concert and price of the concert ticket after getting the discount is $50.

The four hours off from the job will cost = $10 × 4 hours

                                                              = $40

The opportunity cost for attending the concert = $50+$40

                                                                          = $90

Therefore, it can be concluded that opportunity cost will be $90. Hence, option (D) is correct.

Answer:

B.Lodging and Recreation and Amusement.

Explanation:

Consider a second-price, sealed-bid auction with a seller who has one unit of the object which he values at s and two buyers 1, 2 who have values of v1 and v2 for the object. The values s, v1, v2 are all independent, private values. Suppose that both buyers know that the seller will submit his own sealed bid of s (and will keep the item if bid s wins), but they do not know the value of s. The buyers know that the seller must submit his bid before seeing the buyer’s bids and they know that the seller will actually run a second price auction with the three bids he has: his own bid and the two buyer’s bids. Each buyer knows his own value but not the other buyer’s value.

Now suppose that the seller opens the bids from the buyers and then submits his own bid after seeing the bids from the two buyers. The seller runs a second price auction with these bids in the sense that the object is awarded to the highests bidder (one of the two buyers or the seller) and that bidder pays the second highest bid. Now is it optimal for the buyers to bid truthfully; that is, should they each bid their true value? Give a brief explanation for your answer.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Given that this is a second price bid auction whereby the second highest bid is the price that the highest bidder pays for the item up for auction sale, so that b1>b2 then b1 gets item for the price of b2.

Truthfulness of true value is the dominant strategy here which means each player should aim to be truthful with their bid regarding their true value regardless of what other bidders are bidding. Therefore truthfulness of value is the optimal strategy with the best payoff for bidders

Answers

Answer:

Foreign direct investment.

Explanation:

BMW’s vehicle-assembly facility in South Carolina represents a direct investment inside the United States by the German manufacturer. This facility is an example of foreign direct investment.

A foreign direct investment (FDI) can be defined as an investment made by an individual or business entity (investor) into an investment market (industry) located in another country. The investor here, shares a different country of origin from the country where his investment is located.

In a foreign direct investment (FDI), an investor must establish his business, factory and operations in a foreign country or acquire assets in a business that is being operated in a foreign country.

Additionally, foreign direct investment (FDI) are categorized into three (3) main types and these are;

1. Vertical FDI: it involves establishing a different business that is however similar to the main business owned by the investor.

2. Horizontal FDI: it involves establishing the same type of business in a foreign country as owned in the investor's country.

3. Conglomerate FDI: it involves establishing a business that is completely different in another (foreign) country.

Explanation:

Calculation of Equivalent units of Production in respect with Raw Materials and Conversion Costs

1. Materials

Ending Work In Process (5,200 × 100%)                                         5,200

Completed and Transferred Out (15,300 × 100%)                         15,300

Equivalent units of Production in respect with Raw Materials     30,500

2. Conversion Costs

Ending Work In Process (5,200 × 30%)                                            1,560

Completed and Transferred Out (15,300 × 100%)                         15,300

Equivalent units of Production in respect with Conversion Cost 16,860

Calculation of Cost per Equivalent unit of production  in respect with Raw Materials and Conversion Costs

Unit Cost = Total Cost ÷ Total Equivalent units

1. Materials

Unit Cost =  $4,305 ÷ 30,500

                = $0.14

2. Conversion Costs

Unit Cost =  ($3,320 + $1,738) ÷ 16,860

                = $0.30

3. Total unit cost

Total unit cost = Material Cost + Conversion Cost

                        = $0.14 + $0.30

                        = $0.44

Calculation of costs assigned to (a) units completed and transferred to Finished Goods and (b) units still in process at June 30.

(a) units completed and transferred to Finished Goods

Total Cost = units completed and transferred out × total unit cost

                 = 15,300 × $0.44

                 = $6,732

(b) units still in process at June 30.

Total Cost = Materials Cost + Conversion Cost

                 = $0.14 × 5,200 + $0.30 × 1,560

                 = $1,196

Analyze reasons why there could be differences and the overall financial position of the company. Also, what of the ways the company could finance the company without significant negative changes to the above financial metrics (ratios)?

Answers

Answer:

The company has current ratio almost half than the industry average. This is an indication that the company has lesser current assets than industry average. The ability of the company to meet its short term obligations is not suitable as the other companies in the industry are maintaining double current ratio. The ratio should never go below 1 as if it does the company may face its operational financing and working capital management issues.

The debt to equity ratio is significantly higher than the other companies of the same industry. The industry average is 4 whereas the company has ratio 20. This is significantly higher which indicates that there is heavy burden of debt on the company.  High debt/ equity ratio indicates high risks. Investors avoid investing in such companies which have high debt/ equity ratio.

Explanation:

The company can go for equity financing as it will also help reduce its debt / equity ratio. The company will become less riskier and financing will be divided in debt and equity. The debt burden on assets will be reduced. There can be reduction in certain debt covenants. The company can use equity financing to fund its operations as well as purchase of non current assets to increase production and ultimately profitability of the company could rise.

Variable overhead $214,000

Nanjones’ variable overhead spending variance for November was:

a. $6,000 favorable.
b. $2,000 favorable.
c. $14,000 unfavorable.
d. $6,000 unfavorable.

Answers

Answer:

Variable manufacturing overhead spending variance= $2,000 favorable

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 2,400,000 / 240,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $10 per machine hour

To calculate the variable overhead spending variance, we need to use the following formula:

Variable manufacturing overhead spending variance= (standard rate - actual rate)* actual quantity

Variable manufacturing overhead spending variance= (15 - 214,000/21,600)*21,600

Variable manufacturing overhead spending variance= $2,000 favorable

The Nanjones' variable overhead spending variance for November is a. $6,000 favorable.

Data and Calculations:

                                            Planning Data                Actual Data    Variances

                                       Annual          November     November  

Fixed overhead          $1,200,000     $100,000          $101,200       $1,200 U

Variable overhead    $2,400,000    $220,000         $214,000      $6,000  F

Direct labor hours             48,000          4,000               4,200            200  U

Machine hours               240,000        22,000             21,600             400  F

Thus, the Nanjones' variable overhead spending variance for November is the difference between planned expenses and actual expenses, which is $6,000 ($214,000 - $220,000) favorable.

The Wod Chemical Company produces a chemical compound that is used as a lawn fertilizer. The compound can be produced at a rate of 10,000 pounds per day. Annual demand for the compound is 0.6 million pounds per year. The fixed cost of setting up for a production run of the chemical is $1,500, and the variable cost of production is $3.50 per pound. The company uses an interest rate of 22 percent to account for the cost of capital, and the costs of storage and handling of the chemical amount to 12 percent of the value. Assume that there are 250 working days in a year.
A. What is the optimal size of the production run for this particular compound?
B. What proportion of each production cycle consists of uptime and what proportion consists of downtime?
C. What is the average annual cost of holding and setup attributed to this item? If the compound sells for $3.90 per pound, what is the annual profit the company is realizing from this item?

Answers

Answer:

A. What is the optimal size of the production run for this particular compound?

first we have to determine the holding cost per unit = h = (22% + 012%) x ($3.5) = $1.19 per unit, per year

then we have to calculate the modified holding cost per year = h' = h x [1 / (D/P)] = $1.19 x [1 / (600,000/2,500,000)] = $0.9044 per unit, per year

now we have to substitute h for h' in the EOQ formula:

Q' = √ [(2 x S x D) / h'] = √ [(2 x $1,500 x 600,000) / $0.9044] = 44,612.44 ≈ 44,612 units

B. What proportion of each production cycle consists of uptime and what proportion consists of downtime?

Time between production runs = Q' / D = 44,612 / 600,000 = 0.07435333

Uptime = Q' / P = 44,612 / 2,500,000 = 0.0178448

Downtime = total time - uptime = 0.07435333 - 0.0178448 = 0.05650853

uptime = 0.0178448 / 0.07435333 = 24% of total time

downtime = 0.05650853 / 0.07435333 = 76% of total time

C. What is the average annual cost of holding and setup attributed to this item? If the compound sells for $3.90 per pound, what is the annual profit the company is realizing from this item?

average annual holding cost and setup costs = (AD/Q') + (h'Q'/2) = [($1,500 x 600,000) / 44,612] + [($0.9044 x 44,612) / 2] = $40,144

profit per unit = $3.90 - $3.50 = $0.40 per pound

total annual profit = ($0.40 x 600,000) - $40,144 = $199,856

The lease agreement specified quarterly payments of $6,500 beginning September 30, 2021, the beginning of the lease, and each quarter (December 31, March 31, and June 30) through June 30, 2024 (three-year lease term). The florist had the option to purchase the truck on September 29, 2023, for $13,000 when it was expected to have a residual value of $19,000. The estimated useful life of the truck is four years. Mid-South Auto Leasing’s quarterly interest rate for determining payments was 3% (approximately 12% annually). Mid-South paid $51,000 for the truck. Both companies use straight-line depreciation or amortization. Anything Grows’ incremental interest rate is 12%.

Required:
a. Calculate the amount of selling profit that Mid-South would recognize in this sales-type lease. (Be careful to note that, although payments occur on the last calendar day of each quarter, since the first payment was at the beginning of the lease, payments represent an annuity due.)
b. Prepare the appropriate entries for Anything Grows and Mid-South on September 30, 2021.
c. Prepare an amortization schedule(s) describing the pattern of interest expense for Anything Grows and interest revenue for Mid- South Auto Leasing over the lease term.
d. Prepare the appropriate entries for Anything Grows and Mid-South Auto Leasing on December 31, 2021.

A worker has two jobs, and they can choose to work any number of hours in a day on each job (up to the upper limit, if any), but can only work on one job at a time. The first job pays $10 per hour and has an upper limit of 6 hours per day. The second job pays $6 per hour and has no upper limit (for example, fixed-contract online freelance work). The worker will always choose the first job if they can. Consider their budget constraint with the amount of daily leisure time on the horizontal axis (from 0 to 24 hours) and their consumption expenditure on the vertical axis (which equals their daily income). Based on this information, which of the following is correct?

a. The workers budget constraint is kinked at 6 hours of free time.
b. The worker will never choose to consume exactly 18 hours of free time.
c. The slope of the budget constraint is -6 when the hours of free time is small, and 10 when the hours of free time is large.
d. For the choice of 8 hours of free time, the maximum expenditure for the day is 96

Answers

Answer:

The slope of the Budget constraint is -6 when the hours of free time is small, and 10 when the hours of free time is large ( C )

Explanation:

The slope of the Budget constraint is -6 when the hours of free time is small, and 10 when the hours of free time is large

This is right, because  whenever the hours of free time is small, This means that he will be under the second job that pays $6 per hour, with no upper limit on work hours, hence he will work more & enjoy less free time.

Hence the slope of BC = 6

a worker produced four components during an 8-hour shift in which he earned $96. What is his labor cost per unit?

Answers

Answer:

$24

Explanation:

Labor cost per unit is the ratio of total labor expense for a period of time divided by the total number of units produced during that period of time. It is given by the formula:

Labor cost per unit = Total money earned during a specified period / number of components produced.

Hence using the formula above, the labor cost per unit of the worker is gotten to be:

Labor cost per unit = $96 / 4 components = $24

Pooling has been used for a long time by businesses as a way to reduce risk. Imagine that years ago a small paint factory employed 200 people, each with an annual salary of $600/year. The factory owner knew from experience that 4 percent of workers were being injured each year, becoming unable to work. The factory owner decided to set up a fund to pay injured workers three months of salary to help their families and build good will with employees. The owner did not contribute to the injury fund. The workers themselves contributed a fixed amount each year to fund the plan. Answer the following questions (1 point each):_____.
1. How much did the owner need to collect from employees in total to fully fund the plan each year?
2. How much did each employee have to contribute each year to fully fund the plan?
3. What percentage of salary did each employee contribute to have an injury fund like this?

Answers

Answer:

1. Amount required to fund the plan = % of injured*Total employees* Annual salary

Amount required to fund the plan = 4%*200 people* $600

Amount required to fund the plan = $4800

2. Amount contributed by each employee = Amount required to fund the plan / Number of employees

Amount contributed by each employee = $4800/200

Amount contributed by each employee = $24

3. Percentage of salary = Amount contributed by each employee / Salary

Percentage of salary = 24/600

Percentage of salary =  0.04

Percentage of salary = 4%

- If you have a net section 1231 loss, it is an ordinary loss.

- If you have a net section 1231 gain, it is ordinary income up to the amount of your unrecaptured section 1231 losses from previous years. The rest, if any, is a long-term capital gain.

Therefore, net section 1231 loss which is an ordinary loss is deducted from ordinary business operations to obtain taxable income.

Also, we describe the following:

Taxable income can be described as the amount of income that is employed to calculated the amount of tax that is payable to the government by an individual or a company in a particular tax year. It is obtained after making all required additions and allowable deductions.

Capital gain can be described as an increase in the value of a capital asset which is realized when the asset is sold. For tax purposes, capital gain is added to the income from ordinary business operations to obtain taxable income.

Capital loss can be described as a decrease in the value of a capital asset which is recognised when the asset is sold. For tax purposes, capital loss is deducted from the income from ordinary business operations to obtain taxable income.

We therefore proceed as follows:

a. Lemon recognized a $5,500 capital gain and a $7,400 net Section 1231 loss.

From the question, we have the following:

Income from ordinary business operations = $324,600

Capital gain recognised = $5,500

Net Section 1231 loss recognised = $7,400

Based on the explanation provided above, Lemon’s taxable income under this scenario is therefore calculated as follows:

Lemon’s taxable income = Income from ordinary business operations + Capital gain recognised - Net Section 1231 loss recognised = $324,600 + $5,500 - $7,400 = $322,700

b. Lemon recognized a $6,500 capital loss and a $4,700 net Section 1231 gain.

From the question, there is nothing related past five years stated and it is therefore assumed that there is no net section 1231 loss in the past five years.

As result, the total of $4,700 net Section 1231 gain is regarded as a capital gain and it is set-off against the $6,500 capital loss as follows to obtain the non-deductible expense as follows:

Non-deductible expense = $6,500 - $4,700 = $1,800

Since there is nothing deductible again, Lemon’s taxable income under this scenario is therefore equal to the income from ordinary business operations of $324,600. That is,

Lemon’s taxable income = $324,600

c. Lemon recognized a $2,500 capital gain, a $3,900 capital loss, and a $3,000 net Section 1231 gain.

Since no net section 1231 loss in the past five years is indicated here, the $3,000 net Section 1231 gain will be treated as a long-term capital gain.

Based on the provisions of section 1231 of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules quoted above, non-deductible expense is calculated by deducting the $3,900 capital loss to the extent of the $2,500 capital gain as follows:

Non-deductible expense = $3,900 - $2,500 = $1,400

Since the $3,000 net Section 1231 gain has to be treated as a long-term capital gain, the $1,400 will be deducted from it obtain the net capital gain as follows:

Net capital gain = $3000 - $1400 = $1600

Lemon’s taxable income under this scenario is therefore calculated by adding the $1,600 net capital gain to the $324,600 income from ordinary business operations as follows:

Lemon’s taxable income = $324,600 + $1600 = $326,200

d. Lemon recognized $4,000 of depreciation recapture, a $2,000 Section 1231 gain, and a $4,200 Section 1231 loss.

We have the following:

Section 1231 loss = $4,200

Section 1231 gain = $2,000

Therefore, we have:

Net section 1231 loss = Section 1231 loss - Section 1231 gain = $4,200 - 2,000 = $2,200

This net section 1231 loss of $2,200 is therefore treated as ordinary loss as already stated in the provisions of section 1231 of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules quoted above and deducted from the $324,600 income from ordinary business operations.

In addition, the depreciation recapture of $4,000 will be treated as ordinary income and it will be added to the $324,600 income from ordinary business operations.

Lemon’s taxable income under this scenario is therefore calculated as follows:

Lemon’s taxable income = Income from ordinary business operations + Depreciation recapture - Net section 1231 loss = $324,600 + $4,000 - $2,200 = $326,400

Please discuss the following two scenarios: Both scenarios consist of a loan of $1000 on Jan.1 - to be paid back on Dec. 31. A is the lender and B is the debtor.

Scenario 1: On Nov. 7th, A calls B to see how he is doing. B says he is not doing well. A asks if B will be able to pay the $1000 on Dec. 31. B says probably not. A asks how much B will have and B says about $700. A tells B to pay him $700 on Dec. 31 and that he will not owe him the additional $300. A puts it in writing. On Dec. 31, B pays the agreed upon $700. Then on January 15th, A calls B and tells him that he wants the additional $300.

Scenario 2: Same situation, but on the Nov. 7th phone call, A tells B to pay him the $700 now and then he will not owe him the additional $300. It is put in writing. B pays $700 on Nov. 7th. Then on January 15th, A calls B and tells him that he wants to additional $300. In which scenario can A get the additional $300.

In which scenario can A get the additional $300? It could be in both scenarios, neither or one of them. What do you think?

Answers

Answer:

Neither

Explanation:

When A creates a deal of B paying only $700 now or on 31st December with a written commitment that he will not owe $300, it means A has decided to write off the $300. Had A not created any written document and just asked B to pay $700 now and then later on reminded and demanded $300 it would have been fine. A would still be legally right in maintaining that B still owes the balance $300.  

However, giving a written commitment of waving off the $300 on payment of $700 now or by 31st Dec which B accepts and also adheres to by paying means that B has fulfilled the new agreement. As A has only floated the new agreement, he cannot go back from his own statements.

A General Co. bond has a coupon rate of 7 percent and pays interest annually. The face value is $1,000 and the current market price is $1,020.50. The bond matures in 20 years. What is the yield to maturity

Answers

Answer:

6.81 %

Explanation:

The Required Interest Rate (i) is the yield to maturity and this is calculated as :

Pv = - $1,020.50

pmt = $1,000 × 7% = $70

n = 20

p/yr =  1

Fv = $1,000.00

i = ?

Using a Financial Calculator to input the values as shown, the yield to maturity (i) is 6.8094 or 6.81 %.

Under the current policy of using a network of sales agents, calculate the Bonita Beauty Corporation

Answers

Answer: $56,040,000

Explanation:

Here is the question:

1.Under the current policy of using a network of sales agents, calculate the Bonita Beauty Corporation's break-even point in sales dollars for the year.

Sales = $75,000,000

Less: variable cost = $75,000,000 + ($75,000,000 × 8%) = $31,500,000 + $6,000,000 = $37,500,000

Contribution margin = $37,500,000

Fixed cost = 10,260,000 + 10,260,000 + 7,500,000 = $28,020,000

Operating income = $11,130,000

Contribution margin = 0.5

Break even point in sales will now be:

= Fixed cost/contribution margin ratio

= $28,020,000/0.5

= $56,040,000

a. Large number of buyers

b. Standardized good

c. Full information (not all participants know all the information, but most is available if they search for it)

d. No transaction cost

e. Participants are price takers

Explanation:

No market provides full information to all participants. The closest you can get are some markets where commodities are traded and the price is set be certain exchange institutions. E.g. the Chicago Mercantile Exchange sets the price of agricultural commodities in the US, and most trading companies follow that price but variations still exist (even though they are minimum).

It is not possible for all the consumers of gasoline, haircuts or bicycles to know the exact price of all the goods the services since the price varies from one seller to another. Even if they are part of a retail chain, the price varies. Full information only exists in theoretical models, it doesn't exist in the real world.
