Answer:
B. Euro appreciated against the dollar
Explanation:
Depreciated means a decrease in value. Therefore, option A is incorrect. Since the exchange rate of Euro increases, the dollar cannot be appreciated at the same time. So, C cannot be the answer. If "C" is incorrect, both "B" and "C"; it means "D" is incorrect.
Hence, option "B" is correct because the foreign exchange rate of Euro increases relative to the exchange rate of the dollar in 2002. If there is an increase of a currency relative to others, the increased currency is said to be appreciated.
Before-tax cost of debt and after-tax cost of debt David Abbot is buying a new house, and he is taking out a 3030-year mortgage. David will borrow $199 comma 000199,000 from a bank, and to repay the loan he will make 360360 monthly payments (principal and interest) of $1 comma 117.451,117.45 per month over the next 3030 years. David can deduct interest payments on his mortgage from his taxable income, and based on his income, David is in the 3030% tax bracket.
a. What is the before-tax interest rate (per year) on David's loan?
b. What is the after-tax interest rate that David is paying?
Answer:
Before-tax interest rate = 6.738%
After-tax interest rate = 4.7169%
Explanation:
Before we determine before and after tax interest rate per year, we need to understand the tax consequences arising from raising debt finance. Normally debt finance is considered a cheaper source of finance than other long term sources of finance due to two main reasons, 1st, debt providers require greater security (i.e assets being secured/charged) and 2nd, interest on debt is tax-deductible which means companies raising debt finance will benefit by paying lower taxes due to the interest being paid before taxes, hence, reducing the taxable income and tax liability. Therefore, an entity's after-tax interest rate will always be lower than before-tax interest rate. This will be proved as follows:
The formula used to compute before-tax interest rate/cost of debt is as follows;
kd = (i÷ market value of debt)×100
i = yearly interest
yearly interest= 1117.451×12= $13409.412
kd = ($13409.412÷$199000)×100
kd= 6.738%
The formula for after-tax interest rate is same except for the inclusion of tax consequences, as follows:
kd = {i(1-t) ÷ market value of debt} ×100
As we know the after-tax interest is interest paid on debt less any income tax savings due to deductible interest expense, that's why the (1-t).
kd = {$13409.412(1-0.30)÷199000}×100
kd= $9386.588 ÷$199000×100
kd= 4.7169%
In the basic economic order quantity (EOQ) model, at Q* the estimated total annual holding cost:
a. is less than the estimated total annual ordering cost.
b. equals the estimated total annual ordering cost.
c. is greater then the estimated total annual ordering cost.
d. bears no necessary relationship to estimated total annual ordering cost.
e. None of the above
Answer:
In the basic EOQ model, the estimated annual holding cost equals the estimated total annual ordering cost. The correct answer is B.
Explanation:
In the basic EOQ model, the estimated annual holding cost is calculated as QH/2, where Q = EOQ and H = Holding cost per item per annum.
Estimated total annual ordering cost is calculated as DCo/Q, where D = Annual demand, Co = ordering cost and Q = EOQ.
The estimation of annual holding cost and annual ordering cost gives the same answer.
Answer: d
Explanation: there is no necessary fixed relationship between the holding cost and the ordering cost apart from the fact that they are inversely related. The EOQ is set out to reduce the costs of both. But mind you that there is an inverse relationship between the holding cost and the ordering cost
the cost of inventory under the EOQ model involves a tradeoff between inventory holding costs (the cost of storage, as well as the cost of tying up capital in inventory rather than investing it or using it for other purposes) and order costs (any fees associated with placing orders, such as delivery charges).

Alaboratory scale is known to have a standard deviation of σ = 0.001 gram in repeated weighings. Scale readings in repeated weighings are Normally distributed, with mean equal to the true weight of the specimen. Three weighings of a specimen on this scale give 1.4131, 1.4167, and 1.4101 grams. A 95% confidence interval for the true weight of this specimen is
With a standard deviation of 0.001 grams from repeated weighings, three measurements (1.4131, 1.4167, 1.4101 grams) yield a 95% confidence interval for the true weight of approximately (1.4122, 1.4144) grams.
To calculate the 95% confidence interval for the true weight of the specimen, you can use the formula for the confidence interval for the mean:
[tex]\[ \text{Confidence Interval} = \text{Mean} \pm \text{Margin of Error} \][/tex]
The margin of error is determined by the critical value for a 95% confidence interval and the standard error of the mean. The critical value for a 95% confidence interval in a normal distribution is approximately 1.96.
The standard error of the mean (SE) is given by the formula:
[tex]\[ SE = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} \][/tex]
where:
- [tex]\(\sigma\)[/tex] is the standard deviation of the scale (0.001 gram),
- (n) is the number of weighings (3 in this case).
Now, calculate the standard error:
[tex]\[ SE = \frac{0.001}{\sqrt{3}} \][/tex]
Next, calculate the margin of error:
[tex]\[ \text{Margin of Error} = 1.96 \times SE \][/tex]
Finally, calculate the confidence interval:
[tex]\[ \text{Confidence Interval} = \text{Mean} \pm \text{Margin of Error} \][/tex]
Substitute the values (mean = average of weighings) to get the interval.
Now, let's proceed with the calculations:
1. Calculate the standard error (SE):
[tex]\[ SE = \frac{0.001}{\sqrt{3}} \approx 0.000577 \][/tex]
2. Calculate the mean:
[tex]\[ \text{Mean} = \frac{1.4131 + 1.4167 + 1.4101}{3} \approx 1.4133 \][/tex]
3. Calculate the margin of error:
[tex]\[ \text{Margin of Error} = 1.96 \times 0.000577 \approx 0.00113 \][/tex]
4. Calculate the confidence interval:
[tex]\[ \text{Confidence Interval} = 1.4133 \pm 0.00113 \][/tex]
Therefore, the 95% confidence interval for the true weight of the specimen is approximately (1.4122, 1.4144) grams.
Warren Company began the accounting period with a $38,000 debit balance in its accounts receivable account. During the accounting period, the company recorded revenue on account amounting to $88,000. The accounts receivable account at the end of the accounting period contained a $19,000 debit balance. Based on this information, what is the amount of cash collected from customers during the period?
a. $75,000
b. $95,000
c. $107,000
d. $31,000
Answer:
c. $107,000
Explanation:
We can calculate cash collected from the customers by following calculations
Accounts receivable op balance $38,000
Add : Sales on account during year $88,000
Less Closing Balance on Receivables - $19,000
Cash Collected from Customers $107,000
This is the net amount collected on behalf of customers while $19,000 is still recoverable in consequent accounting cycle.
Hope that helps.
Final answer:
The cash collected from customers by Warren Company during the accounting period is $107,000. This figure is calculated by adding the revenue on account to the beginning Accounts Receivable balance and then subtracting the ending Accounts Receivable balance.
Explanation:
The amount of cash collected from customers during the period can be determined by analyzing the changes in the Accounts Receivable balance. Warren Company began the period with a $38,000 debit balance in Accounts Receivable and ended the period with a $19,000 debit balance while recording $88,000 in revenue on account. The calculation is as follows:
Beginning Accounts Receivable + Revenue on Account - Ending Accounts Receivable = Cash Collected from Customers
$38,000 + $88,000 - $19,000 = $107,000
Therefore, the amount of cash collected from customers is $107,000, making option c) the correct answer.

J has a whole life policy with a return of premium rider. Which of the following would best describe this rider?
A term rider on a permanent policy
Answer:
The correct answer is:
A term rider on a permanent policy.
Explanation:
A return of premium rider refers to the case when the insured adds some additional clauses to the normal policy for an extra cost. A rider is obtained considering a specific period of time in which the policy would be paid to the beneficiaries in case of death, sickness or disability of the insured person. In case that the insured subject lives more than the pre-established period of time the amount that he paid for the return of premium rider would be given back to him. For example if J pays $50 monthly for a 30 years life term policy and he lives after that period of time, he will receive $18.000 at the end of the contract as a premium return.
Among the tax proposals regularly considered by Congress is an additional tax on distilled liquors. The tax would not apply to beer. The price elasticity of supply of liquor is 3.5, and the price elasticity of demand is −0.4. The cross-elasticity of demand for beer with respect to the price of liquor is 0.1. If the new tax is imposed, who will bear the greater burden long —liquor suppliers or liquor consumers?
Answer:
Liquor consumers
Explanation:
Price elasticity measures the degree of responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price. Demand is elastic if a small change in price has a great effect on quantity demanded. The coefficient of elasticity is usually greater than 1.
Demand is inelastic if changes in price has little or no impact on the quantity demanded. Coefficient of elasticity is usually less than 1.
The elasticity of demand for liquor is -0.4 while the elasticity of supply for liquor is 3.5. Therefore the demand for liquor is inelastic while the supply of liquor is elastic.
If taxes are imposed on consumers, the quantity demanded wouldn't change or change a little.
If taxes are imposed on suppliers, the quantity supplied would fall more.
Therefore , the burden of tax can be passed on more to consumers.
I hope my answer helps you.
Given the high price elasticity of supply for liquor (3.5) and the low price elasticity of demand (-0.4), the tax incidence indicates that liquor consumers would bear the greater economic burden of the additional tax on distilled liquors, as they are less responsive to price changes.
Explanation:When analyzing the tax incidence of a proposed additional tax on distilled liquors, it's crucial to understand the concepts of price elasticity of supply and price elasticity of demand. In this case, the price elasticity of supply for liquor is given as 3.5, indicating that liquor suppliers are highly responsive to price changes. In contrast, the price elasticity of demand is -0.4, suggesting that liquor consumers are not as responsive to price changes.
According to economic principles, when the supply is more elastic than the demand, as in this liquor market scenario, consumers will bear the greater burden of the tax because they have a more inelastic demand. Suppliers can more easily adjust the quantity supplied or move their resources to different markets in response to tax changes. Additionally, the cross-elasticity of demand for beer concerning the price of liquor is 0.1, which is relatively low, indicating that a change in the price of liquor due to the new tax would not significantly influence the demand for beer.
Therefore, upon imposition of the new tax on liquor, liquor consumers would experience a greater economic burden, since they are less responsive to price changes compared to the producers.
Selected information from the accounting records of Ellison Manufacturing Company follows:
Net sales ............................................ P3,600,000
Cost of goods sold ................................... 2,400,000
Inventories at January 1 ............................. 672,000
Inventories at December 31 ........................... 576,000
What is the number of days' sales in average inventories for the year?
a. 102.2
b. 94.9
c. 87.6
d. 68.1
Answer:
b. 94.9
Explanation:
The computation of the number of days' sales in average inventories is shown below:
Day inventory outstanding = (Beginning inventory + ending inventory) ÷ 2 ÷ cost of goods sold × total number of days in a year
= ($672,000 + $576,000) ÷ 2 ÷ $2,400,000 × 365 days
= ($624,000 ÷ $2,400,000 ) × 365 days
= 94.90 days
Simply we take the average of inventory and divide from the costs of goods sold

Alan (27) and Kara (26) are married and filing a joint return. Both Alan and Kara were full-time students all year at State College, located at 11100 College Boulevard, Your City, Your State. During the year, Alan paid $5,000 in tuition and fees, substantiated with Form 1098-T. Kara paid $3,900 in tuition and fees, also substantiated with Form 1098-I. Both Alan and Kara have part-time jobs outside of school. They did not receive any scholarships during the year. Their adjusted gross income is $45,000. Their total tax on line 11 of their federal Form 1040 is $2,142. They had no additional taxes. Both Alan and Kara meet all the requirements to qualify for the American Opportunity Tax Credit.
Complete Form 8863, Education Credits (American Opportunity and Lifetime Learning Credits) for Alan and Kara.
Answer:
AOLC_{Allan}=$2750
AOLC_{Kara}=$2475
AOLC_{Allan}=$1000
AOLC_{Kara}=$780
Explanation:
American Opportunity Learning credit.
First, assuming Allan and Kara are eligible, we must know how the two forms of credit work. For the American Opportunity Learning credit (AOLC), it is possible to receive 100% of the tax deduction for the first 2000 and then 25% of the deduction up to a maximum of 2500. So, the amount of the opportunity credit for Allan and Kara is given by:
[tex]AOLC_{Allan}=2000+(5000-2000)*0.25=2750[/tex]
[tex]AOLC_{Kara}=2000+(3900-2000)*0.25=2475[/tex]
Now, for the American Lifetime Learning credit (ALLC), we have to allow 20% deduction of taxes up to $2000 if the person meets the requirement of not earning more than 68000, then:
[tex]AOLC_{Allan}=5000*0.2=1000[/tex]
[tex]AOLC_{Kara}=3900*0.2=780[/tex]

im Marlow, the owner of The Clock Works, wanted to know how many clocks he must sell in order to cover his fixed cost at a given price. Tim knew that he had a fixed cost of $20,000 for equipment, taxes, and a bank loan. He also had a unit variable cost of $20 per clock for labor, materials, and promotional costs. If the price Tim charges for each of his clocks is $40, what is his break-even point quantity? Group of answer choices
Answer:
Break even point will be 2000
Explanation:
We have given fixed cost = $20000
Variable cost = $20 per clock
And Tim charges $40 for each clock
So sales cost = $40
So contribution margin per units = $40 - $20 = $20
We have to find the break even point
Break even point is given by
Break even point =\frac{fixed\ cost}{contribution\ margin\ per\ unit}=\frac{$20000}{$20}=2000
Suppose you plan on eating 50 potato chips. As you start consuming potato chips, your marginal utility is very high, but it begins to fall slowly until you’ve eaten 10 chips. After you have eaten 10 chips, your marginal utility decreases even faster with each additional chip. Marginal utility continues to decline until you’ve eaten 49 chips. The fiftieth chip does not give you any additional utility. After 50 chips, your mouth gets so salty that it is unpleasant to eat any more, so marginal utility is actually negative for those chips. How many chips should you eat in order to maximize your total utility?
a.1
b. 10
c. 49
d. 51
Answer:
correct option is c. 49
Explanation:
given data
plan eating = 50 potato chips
begins eaten = 10 chips
Marginal utility continues eaten = 49 chips
to find out
How many chips should you eat in order to maximize your total utility
solution
we can say that here consumer will consume only 49 chips to maximize utility because till 49th chip utility is increasing but at a decreasing rate
and 50th chip provides no additional utility
so utility is maximize at 49 chips
correct option is c. 49
Final answer:
To maximize total utility, the student should eat c. 49 potato chips because at that point, the marginal utility decreases to zero and eating more would lead to negative marginal utility.
Explanation:
To maximize total utility, you should continue to consume potato chips until the marginal utility becomes zero or negative. According to the description given, you start to enjoy less utility from each additional chip after eating 10 chips. This marginal utility keeps declining but is still positive until you consume the 49th chip. The 50th chip gives you no additional utility—indicating that your total utility is maximized at 49 chips. Therefore, consuming beyond this point would lead to negative marginal utility as the experience becomes unpleasant.

Discuss the role of the FOMC and the three major policies it implements to help regulate banks. Briefly describe the equation used to measure bank reserves and the definition of the federal funds rate and their role as operating targets of the Federal Reserve as part of the FOMC directive.
Answer and Explanation:
Role of FOMC:
it takes the responsibility of open market operation which is the important tool to control the manetary policy in the economy.
three major policies of FOMC:
- open market operations
- discount rate
- reserve requirement
open market operations is the tool of manetary policy through open market operations, government will buy and sale the government securities and bonds in the market to control the inflation and deflation in the economy.
discount rate is the interest rate where the reserve bank charges on borrowing funds from the financial institutions at short term basis.
reserve requirement is the percentage of deposits, where the banks should hold some amount as reserves.
equation used to measure the bank reserves is given by:
bank reserves = bank's deposit at central bank + vault cash
bank reserves = required reserves + excess reserves
federal funds rate is the interest rate which is charged by the banks to lend the reserves to other banks overnight.
federal funds rate as a part of open market operation to operate the target of the federal reserves:
in order to operate the open market operation, federal open market committee uses the tool of federal funds rate. by changing the federal funds rate, it will influence the short term interest rates, long term interest rates, foreign exchange rates etc.
Some of Alpha’s Board members are worried that shareholders are expecting a dividend next year and that announcing plans to skip next year’s dividend will lower the stock price today. Suppose Alpha were to announce instead that it plans to pay its usual dividend one year from now and that it has no plans for any new investment at T = 1. What will happen to the stock price today?
Answer:
It depends but is highly probable that the stock price goes down either way
Explanation:
Explanation: A listed company that does not invest at least to keep the market growing pace, could be seen as company without ambition, therefore, more likely to lose market share against competitors, therefore to lose revenue, to lose present value and the stock price falls. Since the stock price of a company is based entirely on the value expectation of the company in the future, informing to the market that Alpha is not going to make any investment next year is the same that declaring company is expected to remain at the same size and operation levels than the current year. This view of stagnation is against the common belief that the market is growing naturally by population growth and the increasing capacities of the technology to unlock a new source of market growth (new product categories, geographies, needs).

In its first year of operations Acme Corp. had income before tax of $400,000. Acme made income tax payments totaling $150,000 during the year and has an income tax rate of 40%. What is the balance in income tax payable at the end of the year?
Answer:
$10,000 (Credit balance)
Explanation:
Given that,
Income before tax = $400,000
Income tax payments during the year = $150,000
Income tax rate = 40 percent
Therefore,
The balance in income tax payable at the end of the year:
= Tax liability - Income tax paid
= ($400,000 × 40%) - $150,000
= $160,000 - $150,000
= $10,000 (Credit balance)
When institutions and policies provide secure property rights, a fair and balanced judicial system, monetary stability, and effective limits on the power of government, which of the following is most likely to be encouraged?
(A) Rent-seeking.
(B) Actions that reduce the value of resources.
(C) Productive activities.
(D) Destructive activities.
Answer:
(C) Productive activities.
Explanation:
All the actions detailed are traits of a public power that respect the free market as a system that allocates resources as efficiently as possible. In this case, the public system works for the mechanism of prices functions based on private decisions and firms can rely upon that none public disturbance arises in the future. The other 3 options used to occur when public institutions intervene in the free market.
Automobiles arrive at the drive-through window at the downtown Baton Rouge, Louisiana. post office at the rate of 4every 10 minutes. The average service time is 2 minutes. The Poisson distribution is appropriate for the arrival rate andservice times are exponentially distributed.a) What is the average time a car is in the system?b) What is the average number of cars in the system?c) What is the average number of cars waiting to receive service?d) What is the average time a car is in the queue?e) What is the probability that there are no cars at the window?f) What percentage of the time is the postal clerk busy?9) What is the probability that there are exactly 2 cars in the system?h) By how much would your answer to part (a) be reduced if a second drive-through window, with its own server, wereadded?
The average time a car spends in the system is 10 minutes, and the average number of cars in the system is 4. The average number of cars in the queue is approximately 3.2, and the probability that there are no cars at the window is 20%. A clerk is busy 80% of the time, and the probability of exactly 2 cars in the system is approximately 20.5%. If a second drive-through window is added, the average time a car is in the system would reduce significantly.
Explanation:In order to solve these questions, we must first understand the concepts of the Poisson distribution and the exponential distribution. The Poisson distribution is used to model the number of events happening in a fixed interval of time if these events occur at a known average rate and independently of the time since the last event. Exponential distribution is concerned with the amount of time until a specific event occurs.
For this case the arrival rate of cars (λ) is 4 every 10 minutes or 0.4 cars per minute, and the service rate (μ) is 1 car every 2 minutes or 0.5 cars per minute. Then we apply these rates to the formulas associated with Queuing Theory. Traffic intensity (ρ): λ/μ = 0.4/0.5 = 0.8. The average number of cars in the system (L): ρ/(1-ρ) = 0.8/(1-0.8) = 4.
The average time a car is the system (W): 1/(μ-λ) = 1/(0.5-0.4) = 10 minutes. The average number of cars in the queue (Lq): ρ²/(1-ρ) = 0.64/(1-0.8) = 3.2 cars. The probability of zero cars at the window (P0): 1-ρ = 1-0.8 = 0.2 or 20%. The percent of time the postal clerk is busy is equal to the traffic intensity, thus 80% of the time. For the probability of exactly 2 cars in the system, we use the Erlang's formula which gives approximately 0.205 or 20.5%.
If a second drive-through window is added, the system then becomes a multi-server model (M/M/2) and the calculations become more complex. But, the effect is to substantially reduce the average time a car is in the system, as the service capacity has been doubled.

The average time a car is in the system is 2.8 minutes. The average number of cars in the system is 1.12 cars. The average number of cars waiting to receive service is 0. The average time a car is in the queue is 0.2 minutes. The probability of no cars at the window is approximately 67.03%. The postal clerk is busy 32.97% of the time. The probability of exactly 2 cars in the system is approximately 8.05%. Adding a second drive-through window with its own server would reduce the average time a car is in the system, but the exact reduction depends on various factors.
Explanation:a) To find the average time a car is in the system, we need to calculate the average time a car spends in the queue and the average service time. The average time a car spends in the queue can be found using Little's Law, which states that the average number of customers in a system is equal to the arrival rate multiplied by the average time a customer spends in the system. In this case, the arrival rate is 4 cars every 10 minutes and the average service time is 2 minutes. So, the average time a car spends in the queue is (4/10) * 2 = 0.8 minutes. The average time a car spends in the system is the average time in the queue plus the average service time, which is 0.8 + 2 = 2.8 minutes.
b) The average number of cars in the system can be found using Little's Law. The arrival rate is 4 cars every 10 minutes, so the average number of cars in the system is (4/10) * 2.8 = 1.12 cars.
c) To find the average number of cars waiting to receive service, we subtract the average number of cars in the system from the average number of cars arriving per minute. The arrival rate is 4 cars every 10 minutes, so the average number of cars arriving per minute is 4/10 = 0.4 cars. The average number of cars waiting to receive service is 0.4 - 1.12 = -0.72 cars. Since the number of cars cannot be negative, the average number of cars waiting to receive service is 0.
d) The average time a car is in the queue can be found by dividing the average number of cars in the queue by the arrival rate. Since the average number of cars in the queue is 0.8 and the arrival rate is 4 cars every 10 minutes, the average time a car is in the queue is 0.8 / (4/10) = 0.2 minutes.
e) The probability that there are no cars at the window can be found using the Poisson distribution formula, which is P(X=0) = (e^(-λ) * λ^0) / 0!, where λ is the average arrival rate. In this case, the average arrival rate is 4 cars every 10 minutes, which is equivalent to 0.4 cars per minute. So, the probability that there are no cars at the window is P(X=0) = (e^(-0.4) * 0.4^0) / 0! = (e^(-0.4) * 1) / 1 = e^(-0.4) ≈ 0.6703, or 67.03%.
f) The percentage of the time that the postal clerk is busy can be found by subtracting the probability that there are no cars at the window from 1. So, the percentage of the time that the postal clerk is busy is 1 - 0.6703 = 0.3297, or 32.97%.
g) The probability that there are exactly 2 cars in the system can be found using the Poisson distribution formula, which is P(X=2) = (e^(-λ) * λ^2) / 2!, where λ is the average arrival rate. In this case, the average arrival rate is 4 cars every 10 minutes, which is equivalent to 0.4 cars per minute. So, the probability that there are exactly 2 cars in the system is P(X=2) = (e^(-0.4) * 0.4^2) / 2! = (e^(-0.4) * 0.16) / 2 = e^(-0.4) * 0.08 ≈ 0.0805, or 8.05%.
h) If a second drive-through window with its own server were added, the average time a car is in the system would be reduced. This is because the arrival rate would stay the same, but the number of servers would increase, resulting in a decrease in the time it takes to serve a car. The exact reduction in average time would depend on various factors, such as the efficiency of the second server and the coordination between the two servers.

Restrictions imposed by an entity prohibited the observation of physical inventories, which accounted for 35 percent of total assets. Alternative auditing procedures were not feasible, although the auditors were able to examine satisfactory evidence for all other items in the financial statements. The auditors would most likely express ___.
Answer: disclaimer of opinion on the financial statements
Explanation: Disclaimer of opinion is an auditor's assertion that there is no view on a customer's financial reports. For many purposes, this notice may be given.
The auditor might not have been required or able to finish all proposed audit procedures, for example. Or, with such a degree that perhaps the auditor was also unable to express an opinion, the customer limited the applicability of the investigation.
If the client requires the auditor to perform the scheduled work or corrects an existing irregularity, a safe judgment may be given by the auditor. The warning remains in effect till the auditor gives a substitute judgment.
Harvey Corporation is studying a project that would have a ten-year life and would require a $450,000 investment in equipment which has no salvage value. The project would provide net operating income each year as follows for the life of the project (Ignore income taxes.):
Answer:
3 years
Explanation:
The formula to compute the payback period is shown below:
= Initial investment ÷ Net cash flow
where,
Initial investment is $450,000
And, the net cash flow = annual net operating income + depreciation expenses
= $105,000 + $45,000
= $150,000
Now put these values to the above formula
So, the value would equal to
= ($450,000) ÷ ($150,000)
= 3 years

b. What is the balance in Paid-In Capital from Sale of Treasury Stock on December 31 of the current year?
c. What is the balance in Treasury Stock on December 31 of the current year?
d. How will the balance in Treasury Stock be reported on the balance sheet?
Answer:
treasury stock 382,000 debit
cash 382,000 credit
cash 342,500 debit
treasury stock 274,000 credit
additional paid-in TS 68,500 credit

treasury stock 80,000 credit
additional paid-in TS 4,000 credit
additional paid-in TS 72,500
Treasury Stock 28,000
The Treasury Stock will be reported as a decrease to the equity.
Explanation:
19,100 shares x $20 per share = 382,000
13,700 shares x $20 per share = 274,000
13,700 shares x $25 per share = 342,500
additional paid-in = 68,500
4,000 shares x $21 per share = 84,000
4,000 shares x $20 per share = (80,000)
additional paid-in 4,000
68,500 + 4,000 = 72,500 additional paid-in TS
TS 382,000 - 274,000 - 80,000 = 28,000

A company's operating income was $70,000 using variable costing for a given period. Beginning and ending inventories for that period were 45,000 units and 50,000 units, respectively. Ignoring income taxes, if the fixed factory overhead application rate was $8.00 per unit, what would operating income have been using full costing?
Answer:
Operating Income Using Full Costing $
Operating income based on marginal costing 70,000
Add: Difference in inventory valuation (5,000 x $8) 40,000
Operating income based on absorption costing 110,000
Explanation:
In this case, we need to calculate difference between closing inventory and opening inventory (50,000 - 45,000= 5,000 units). The difference in inventory is valued at fixed factory overhead application rate of $8. The value of difference in inventory is added to the operating income reported by marginal costing.
To calculate operating income using full costing, consider both fixed and variable costs. Use the formula Operating Income = Sales - (Variable Costs + Fixed Costs), where Fixed Costs = Fixed Factory Overhead Application Rate * (Ending Inventory - Beginning Inventory)
Explanation:To calculate the operating income using full costing, we need to consider both fixed and variable costs. The formula for operating income using full costing is:
Operating Income = Sales - (Variable Costs + Fixed Costs)
In this case, the fixed factory overhead application rate is $8.00 per unit, and the beginning and ending inventories are 45,000 units and 50,000 units, respectively. Since the inventories have increased, we can calculate the fixed costs as:
Fixed Costs = Fixed Factory Overhead Application Rate * (Ending Inventory - Beginning Inventory)
Once we have the fixed costs, we can calculate the operating income using the full costing formula mentioned above.

Assume someone organizes all farms in the nation into a singleminusprice monopoly. As a result, the price consumers pay for food A. rises. B. does not change, that is, it remains constant. C. falls. D. might rise or fall depending on whether the demand for food is elastic or inelastic. E. might rise or fall depending on whether the monopoly's marginal revenue curve lies above or below its demand curve.
Answer:
E. might rise or fall depending on whether the monopoly's marginal revenue curve lies above or below its demand curve.
Explanation:
In monopoly, the supply rule is the way how the farm will decide the price to sell the products in the market. This rule is simple, the price will be set where the demand curve cross the marginal revenue function, and not as perfect competition, where demand and supply demand cross. In monopoly the quantities are less thant perfect market situation, and the price is higher.

Big Trail Running Company has started to produce running apparel in addition to the trail running shoes that they have manufactured for years. They feel that a departmental overhead rate would best reflect their overall manufacturing overhead usage. Based on research the following information was gathered for the upcomingyear:
Machining Department Finishing Department
Estimated Manufacturing Overhead by Department $1,000,000 100,000
Trail Running Shoes 130,000 machine hours 9,000 direct labor hours
Running Apparel 70,000 machine hours 71,000 direct labor hours
Manufacturing overhead is driven by machine hours for the machining department and direct labor hours for the finishing department.
1. Based on this information, what is the departmental manufacturing overhead rate for the machining and finishing department, respectively? (Round any intermediary calculations and your final answer to the nearest cent.)
A. $7.69 per machine hour and $1.41 per direct labor hour
B. $14.29 per machine hour and $11.11 per direct labor hour
C. $5.00 per machine hour and $1.25 per direct labor hour
D. $5.50 per machine hour and $13.75 per direct labor hour
Answer:
Option (C) is correct.
Explanation:
For Machining department,
Manufacturing overhead rate:
= Estimated Overhead cost ÷ Amount of allocation base
= [$1,000,000 ÷ (130,000 + 70,000) machine hours]
= $1,000,000 ÷ 200,000 machine hours
= $5.00 per machine hour
For Finishing department,
Manufacturing overhead rate:
= Estimated Overhead cost ÷ Amount of allocation base
= [$100,000 ÷ (9,000 + 71,000) direct labor hours]
= $100,000 ÷ 80,000 direct labor hours
= $1.25 per labor hour
