What matters more to Larry and Megan?
The relative price of rice and beans
The overall inflation rate

Answers

Answer:

a.  

Inflation = (2017 price of basket - 2016 price of basket) / 2016 price of basket

2016 price of basket = 1 + 4 = $5

2017  price of basket = 2 + 8 = 10

Inflation

= (10 - 5) / 5

= 100%

Both Megan and Larry would be unaffected by the changes in prices because the prices doubled for both of them.

__________________________________________________________

b. Now suppose that in 2017 the price of beans was $2 and the price of rice was $4.80.  

Market basket in 2017 = 2 + 4.8 = $6.80  

Inflation

= (6.8 - 5) / 5

= 36%

Larry will be better off because the price of beans increased by 100% which is more than the inflation rate of 36%.

Megan's price increase = (4.8 - 4)/4 = 20%.

Inflation is 36%.

Megan will be worse off as inflation is higher than the increase in price of rice.

__________________________________________________________

c. Now suppose that in 2017, the price of beans was $2 and the price of rice was $1.60.  

Market Basket in 2017 = 2 + 1.6 = $3.60  

Inflation = (3.6 - 5)/5 = -28%

Larry will be better off because his prices have risen while general inflation has fallen.  

Megan's price decrease = ( 1.6 - 4)/4 = -60%. Inflation was -28%.

Megan will be worse off because inflation decreased less than her prices did.

__________________________________________________________

d. What matters more to Larry and Megan?

The relative price of rice and beans

This matters more to them because a change in prices of the commodities they sell could either benefit them or give them a loss regardless of the inflation rate.

You are the VP of Marketing at Stauffer Foods and you learn that the puddings packaged desserts line from General Foods (GF) is available for acquisition. This division produces successful products like Pudding Pops, Instant Pudding, and Pudding in a Cup. You make some of assumptions about this line. Which assumption would you not make

Answers

Answer: purchasing the line would bring immediate cash flow for Stauffer Foods

Explanation:

The options include:

a. purchasing the line would bring established distribution for Stauffer Foods.

b. purchasing the line would add equity value to Stauffer Foods.

c. All would be reasonable assumptions to make.

d. purchasing the line would bring immediate cash flow for Stauffer Foods

e. purchasing the line could create some difficulties in dealing with debt load.

The assumption that shouldn't be made is that purchasing the line would bring immediate cash flow for Stauffer Foods.

When a product is acquired, one should not expect immediate profit or cash flow instantly. Purchasing the line would not bring immediate cash flow for Stauffer Foods because it's a gradual process even though there may eventually be cash flow and profit in the long run.

All the other options that re given are correct, therefore the correct option is D.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Beginning Inventory= 81,000

Ending Inventory= 51,000

Sales= 485,000

To calculate the production required for the period, we need to use the following formula:

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Production= 485,000 + 51,000 - 81,000

Production= 455,000 units

Assume the MPC has not changed. $ An increase in government transfers or taxes, as opposed to an increase in government purchases of goods and services, will result in

Answers

Answer:

a. The real GDP increases by $200,000.

a. The real GDP increases by $150,000.

Explanation:

a. What is the eventual effect on real GDP if the government increases its purchases of goods and services by $50,000?

Eventual effect on real GDP = Amount of increase in government spending * (1 /(1 - MPC)) = $50,000 * (1 / (1 – 0.75)) = $200,000

Therefore, the real GDP increases by $200,000.

a. What is the eventual effect on real GDP if the government, instead of changing its spending, increases transfers by $50,000?

Eventual effect on real GDP = (Amount of increase in government transfers * (1 /(1 - MPC))) - Amount of increase in government transfers = ($50,000 * (1 / (1 – 0.75))) - $50,000 = $150,000

Therefore, the real GDP increases by $150,000.

A manager hires labor and rents capital equipment in a very competitive market. Currently the wage rate is $9 per hour and capital is rented at $10 per hour. If the marginal product of labor is 45 units of output per hour and the marginal product of capital is 60 units of output per hour, should the firm increase, decrease, or leave unchanged the amount of capital used in its production process

Answers

Answer: Capital should be increased in the production process.

Explanation:

We should note that based on rule of cost minimization, the quantity of capital and labor that's employee by a firm should be one where the MRTS i.e marginal rate of technical substitution between the capital and labor is equal to the wage rental ratio. Therefore,

MRTS = w/r

MPl/MPk = w/r

MPl/w = MPk/r

45/9 < 60/10

5 < 6

Since the ratio isn't equal, it simply means that the firm isn't using optimum mix of inputs. Based on the above, capital should be increased.

2. Compute the cost of ending inventory and cost of goods sold under (a) FIFO, (b) LIFO, and (c) weighted average cost.
3. Prepare an Income Statement that shows the FIFO method, LIFO method, and weighted average method.

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the number and cost of goods available for sale:

Number of units= 300 + 900 + 800= 2,000

Cost of goods available for sale= (300*19) + (900*17) + (800*20)

cost of goods available for sale= $37,000

FIFO:

Under the FIFO (first-in, first-out), the cost of goods sold is calculated using the cost of the firsts units incorporated into inventory.

COGS= 300*19 + 680*17= $17,260

Ending inventory= 37,000 - 17,260= $19,740

LIFO:

Under the LIFO (last-in, first-out), the cost of goods sold is calculated using the cost of the lasts units incorporated into inventory.

COGS= 800*20 + 180*17= $19,060

Ending inventory= 37,000 - 19,060= $17,940

Weighted-average:

Weighted-average cost= 37,000/2,000= $18.5 per unit

COGS= 980*18.5= $18,130

Ending inventory= 1,020*18.5= $18,870

Finally, the income statements for each method:

FIFO:

sales= (980*47)= 46,060

COGS= (17,260)

Gross profit= 28,800

Operating expenses= (18,700)

Net operating income= 10,100

LIFO:

sales= (980*47)= 46,060

COGS= (19,060)

Gross profit= 27,000

Operating expenses= (18,700)

Net operating income= 8,300

Weighted-average:

sales= (980*47)= 46,060

COGS= (18,130)

Gross profit= 27,930

Operating expenses= (18,700)

Net operating income= 9,230

Convertible securities are bonds or preferred stock that, under specified terms and conditions, can be exchanged for common stock at the option of the holder. Conversion of these securities does not provide new capital; debt (or preferred stock) is simply replaced on the balance sheet by common stock. However, reducing the debt or preferred stock will improve the firm’s financial position and make it easier to raise additional capital, but raising additional capital requires a separate action.

The conversion ratio ( ) is the number of shares of common stock that are obtained by converting a convertible bond or share of convertible preferred stock. The conversion price ( ) is the effective price paid for common stock obtained by converting a convertible security. From the standpoint of the issuer, which of the following statements is a disadvantage of convertibles?

a. Because convertibles have low coupon rates, they require the firm to sell common stock at discount prices relative to prices that are currently prevailing.
b. Convertibles typically have a low coupon interest rate, and the advantage of this low-cost debt will be lost when conversion occurs.
c. If the company truly wants to raise equity capital and if the stock price does not rise sufficiently after the bond is issued, then the company will be stuck with debt rather than the desired equity. ___________ is/are correct.

Answers

Answer:

Statement B and Statement C are Correct. And Statement A is not Correct.

Explanation:

Solution:

In this question, statement B and Statement C are correct and Statement A is incorrect. Because:

From the standpoint of the issuer, both Statements B and C are a disadvantages of convertibles. So, statement B and B are correct.

The reason why Statement A is not correct is because convertibles tend to provide an opportunity to the person who is issuer of the convertibles to in order to sell common stock at premium or higher prices with respect to or relative to the prices that are currently prevailing prices.

Hence, Statement A is not correct.

Jim is a lawyer who requires that his clients pay him in advance of legal services rendered. Jim routinely credits Legal Service Revenue when his clients pay him in advance. In June Jim collected $12,000 in advance fees and completed 75% of the work related to these fees. What adjusting entry is required by Jim's firm at the end of June

Answers

Answer:

Legal Service Revenue Dr $3000

Unearned Revenue Cr $3000

This is due to the fact that the amount of 25% of the work is undone. Hence, it is recorded as a liability and since it is earned, it is shown as unearned revenue.

The adjusting entry required as a result of Jim collecting money in advance is:

Date                 Account Title                                   Debit              Credit

                        Unearned Revenue                                               $3,000

Revenue should only be recognized when the work related to it has been done. Jim only managed to do 75% of the work which means that revenue cannot be recognized on 25%.

This 25% is:

= 25% x 12,000

= $3,000

This amount will be credited to the Unearned Revenue account until Jim completes the work.

Answer: fully integrate minority group members both formally and informally.

Explanation:

The options are:

a. Encourage monitory group members to adopt the norms of the majority.

b. fully integrate minority group members both formally and informally.

c. strive to build a more homogeneous employee population.

d. focus primarily upon employees visible differences like race or sex.

e. encourage more intergroup productive conflict.

Diversity simply refers to when people from different social, ethnic backgrounds or people from different races, religions, genders, etc are involved in a company or a particular thing.

Since the CEO calls for diversity to exist and be valued, the best option will be to fully integrate minority group members both formally and informally. This will help in making the minority group valued and also bring about diversity.

Since the company was incorporated, it has sold a total of 145,000 shares (at $16 per share) to the public. It has bought back a total of 15,000. The par value of the stock is $6. When the stock was bought back from the public, the market price was $23.
Required:
1. Determine the authorized shares.
2. Determine the issued shares.
3. Determine the outstanding shares.

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

1. Determine the authorized shares.

The authorized share simply refers to the maximum number of shares that can be issued by a particular company. In this case, the authorised share is 212000.

2. Determine the issued shares.

The issued share simply means the shares sold. In this case, the answer is 145000 shares.

3. Determine the outstanding shares.

The outstanding shares will be:

= 145000 - 15000

= 130000

The management of Wheeler Company has decided to develop cost formulas for its major overhead activities. Wheeler uses a highly automated manufacturing process, and power costs are a significant manufacturing cost. Cost analysts have decided that power costs are mixed. The costs must be broken into their fixed and variable elements so that the cost behavior of the power usage activity can be properly described. Machine hours have been selected as the activity driver for power costs. The following data for the past eight quarters have been collected:
Quarter Machine Hours Power cost
1 20000 26000
2 25000 38000
3 30000 42500
4 22000 37000
5 21000 34000
6 18000 29000
7 24000 36000
8 28000 40000
1. Prepare a scattergraph by plotting power costs against machine hours. Does the scattergraph show a near relationship between machine hours and power cost?
2. Using the high and low points (i.e., the high-low method), compute a power cost formula.
3. Use the method of least squares to compute a power cost formula. Evaluate the coefficient of determination.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

1-a See the attached photo for the a scattergraph.

1-b. Yes, the scattergraph show a near relationship between machine hours and power cost.

2. The power cost formula using the high and low points is as follows:

Total power cost = -7000 + (1.65 * Machine hours)

3-a. The power cost formula using the method of least squares is as follows:

Total power cost = 6454 + (1.21 * Machine hours)

3-b. R² = Coefficient of determination = 0.8969, or 89.69%

Explanation

1-a. Prepare a scattergraph by plotting power costs against machine hours.

Note: See the attached photo for the a scattergraph by plotting power costs against machine hours.

1-b. Does the scattergraph show a near relationship between machine hours and power cost?

Note that Scattergraph is interpreted by looking by looking for trends in the data as there is movement from left to right.

From the attached a scattergraph, it can be observed that there is an uphill pattern as there is a movement from left to right. This indicates that there a near positive relationship between power costs against machine hours.

Therefore, the scattergraph show a near relationship between machine hours and power cost.

2. Using the high and low points (i.e., the high-low method), compute a power cost formula.

2-a. Calculation of variable cost elements

Variable cost per machine hour = (Highest Power Costs - Lowest Power Costs) / (Highest machine hours – Lowest machine hours) = (42500 - 26000) / (30000 - 20000) = 1.65 per hour

2-b. Calculation of fixed cost elements

Total power cost = Total Fixed Cost + Total Variable Cost ................. (1)

Where;

Total Variable Cost = Variable cost per machine hour * Machine hours ……….. (2)

Substitute equation (2) into equation (1), we have:

Total power cost = Total Fixed Cost + (Variable cost per machine hour * Machine hours) ……………………. (3)

Using highest machine hours and substitute relevant values into equation (3), we have:

42500 = Total Fixed Cost + (1.65 * 3000)

42500 = Total Fixed Cost + 49,500

Total Fixed Cost = 42500 - 49,500

Total Fixed Cost = -7000

2-c Computation of a power cost formula

Substituting Variable cost per machine hour = 1.65 and Total Fixed Cost = -7000 into equation (3), we can compute the power cost formula as follows:

Total power cost = -7000 + (1.65 * Machine hours) ………………. (4)

Equation is the power cost formula.

3. Use the method of least squares to compute a power cost formula. Evaluate the coefficient of determination.

Note: See the attached excel file for the calculations of Total of Machine Hours (x), Power cost (y), xy, x^2, and y^2.

Since Σ = Total of or summation of, we can therefore obtain the following from the attached excel file:

Σx = 190,800    

Σy = 282,500

Σxy = 6,878,400,000

Σx² = 4,666,540,000

Σy² = 10,188,250,000

N = Number of quarters = 8

3-a. Use the method of least squares to compute a power cost formula

Step 1: Calculation of variable cost per rental return

To calculate the variable power cost per machine hour, the following formula is used:

Variable power cost per machine hour = (NΣxy − ΣxΣy) /((NΣx²) − (Σx)²) ……………… (5)

= (Σxy – (1/8)ΣxΣy) /((Σx²) – (1/8)(Σx)²)

=(6,878,400,000 – ((1/8) * 190,800 * 282,500)) / (4,666,540,000 – ((1/8) * 190,800²))

Substituting the relevant values into equation (5), we have:

Variable cost per rental return = ((8 * 6,878,400,000) - (190,800 * 282,500)) /((8 * 4,666,540,000) - 190,800²)

Variable power cost per machine hour = 1.21

Step 2: Calculation of quarterly fixed power cost

This can be calculated using the following formula:

Fixed Cost per quarter = {Σy - (Variable power cost per machine hour * Σx) / N ....... (6)

Substituting the relevant values into equation (6), we have:

Fixed Cost per quarter = (282,500 - (1.21 * 190,800)) / 8

Fixed Cost per quarter = 6,454

Step 3: Computation of the power cost formula

Substituting Variable cost per machine hour = 1.21 and Total Fixed Cost = 6,454 into equation (3) in part 2 above, we can compute the power cost formula as follows:

Total power cost = 6454 + (1.21 * Machine hours) ………………. (4)

Equation (4) is the power cost formula.

3-b. Evaluate the coefficient of determination.

This can be evaluated using the following formula:

R² = Coefficient of determination = (NΣxy – ΣxΣy) / ((NΣx² - (Σx)²) * (NΣy² - (Σy)²))^0.5 ……….. (5)

Substituting the relevant values into equation (5) we have:

R² = ((8 * 6,878,400,000) – (190,800 * 282,500)) / (((8 * 4,666,540,000) – 190.800²) * ((8 * 10,188,250,000) – 282,500²))^0.5

R² = 0.8969, or 89.69%

Greene, Inc. uses the LIFO inventory method for external reporting and for income tax purposes but maintains its internal records using FIFO. The following disclosure note was included in a recent annual report:

Inventories ($ in millions):
2021 2020
Total inventories $600 $580
LIFO reserve (75) (50)

The company's income statement reported cost of goods sold of $2,750 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Required:
a. Drew adjusts the LIFO reserve (Allowance to Reduce Inventory to LIFO) at the end of its fiscal year. Prepare the December 31, 2021, adjusting entry to record the cost of goods sold adjustment.
b. If Drew had used FIFO to value its inventories, what would cost of goods sold have been for the 2021 fiscal year?

Answers

Answer:

a. Debit Cost of goods sold for $25; and Credit LIFO Reserve for $25.

b. Cost of goods sold in 2021 if FIFO is used would have been $2,775.

Explanation:

a. Greene adjusts the LIFO reserve (Allowance to Reduce Inventory to LIFO) at the end of its fiscal year. Prepare the December 31, 2021, adjusting entry to record the cost of goods sold adjustment.

Change in LIFO reserve =  Current year LIFO reserve = LIFO Reserve balance in 2021 - LIFO Reserve balance in 2020 = $75 - $50 = $25

The adjusting entry will therefore look as follows:

Date                   General Journal                Debit ($'m)       Credit ($'m)    

31 Dec 2021      Cost of goods sold               25

                             LIFO Reserve                                           25

                          (To record the cost of goods sold adjustment.)            

b. If Green had used FIFO to value its inventories, what would cost of goods sold have been for the 2021 fiscal year?

This can be calculated as follows:

Cost of goods sold in 2021 if FIFO is used = Cost of goods sold reported in the income statement + Change in LIFO reserve = $2,750 + $25 = $2,775

Answers

Answer:

c. large sums of money are spent on advertising that produces no consumer benefit

Explanation:

Critics consider advertising to be a waste because they believe that there is a large amount of financial resources being spent on advertising that will not be converted into benefits for the consumer, that is, they believe that it is a lot of money spent on communication marketing that it should be spent on product development, for example, in the form of converting investments into physical benefits that add greater value to the product and greater satisfaction for the consumer.

But a company that wants to become competitive and well positioned in the market, must allocate financial resources so that both things can be carried out, because advertising is extremely necessary to attract and retain potential consumers, since there is currently a great offer of them products available on the market and the company needs to develop a strategy that attracts consumers to its product, which can occur through well-developed advertising that generates consumer engagement and identification with the offered product.

Deborah's Performance Pizza is a small restaurant in San Francisco that sells gluten-free pizzas. Deborah's very tiny kitchen has barely enough room for the two ovens in which her workers bake the pizzas. Deborah signed a lease obligating her to pay the rent for the two ovens for the next year. Because of this, and because Deborah's kitchen cannot fit more than two ovens, Deborah cannot change the number of ovens she uses in her production of pizzas in the short run.

However, Deborah's decision regarding how many workers to use can vary from week to week because her workers tend to be students. Each Monday, Deborah lets them know how many workers she needs for each day of the week. In the short run, these workers are__________ inputs, and the ovens are__________ inputs.
