Answer: 56.25%
Explanation:
The labor force participation rate refers to the active workforce of a country. The following information can be derived from the question:
Adult population = 3200
Number of employed = 1600
Number of unemployed = 200
The labor-force participation rate of Aridia in 2012 will be:
= {(Number of employed + Number of unemployed) / Adult population} × 100
= (1600 + 200) / 3200 × 100
= 1800/3200 × 100
= 0.5625 × 100
= 56.25%

Suppose a firm produces with a technology that exhibits constant returns to scale at all levels of production. The firm's inputs are workers and laptops. The firm sells its output in a perfectly competitive market. It also hires its inputs (hires workers and rents laptops) in perfectly competitive markets. Assume that in the long run the firm produces y units of output using x1 workers and x2 laptops. If the firm doubles the amount of workers and laptops (using 2x1 and 2x2), we would expect the firm's long-run profits to
Answers
Answer:
Not change
Explanation:
In the long run we expect firms to earn zero profits. With competitive markets for both inputs and output, and with constant returns to scale, a doubling of all inputs would lead to twice as much output, twice as much revenue, and twice as much cost.
Jane Industries manufactures plastic toys. During October, Jane's Fabrication Department started work on 10,400 models. During the month, the company completed 11,200 models, and transferred them to the Distribution Department. The company ended the month with 2200 models in ending inventory. There were 3000 models in beginning inventory. All direct materials costs are added at the beginning of the production cycle and conversion costs are added uniformly throughout the production process. The FIFO method of process costing is being followed. Beginning work in process was 30% complete as to conversion costs, while ending work in process was 55% complete as to conversion costs.
Beginning inventory​:
Direct materials costs $20,000
Conversion costs $11,100
Manufacturing costs added during the accounting period​:
Direct materials costs $70,700
Conversion costs $240,500
What is the amount of direct materials cost assigned to ending work-in-process inventory at the end of October?
a. $19,783
b. $20,337
c. $10,923
d. $14,916
Answers
Answer:
d. $14,916
Explanation:
Note that Jane Industries uses FIFO method of process costing.
Step 1 : Equivalent Units in respect of materials
Materials = 3,000 x 0 % + 8,200 x 100% + 2,200 x 100%
= 10,400 units
Step 2 : Cost per Equivalent unit in respect of materials
Cost per Equivalent = $70,700 ÷ 10,400 units
= $6.80
Step 3 : direct materials cost assigned to ending work-in-process
Ending work-in-process (Materials Cost) = 2,200 x $6.80
= $14,960
13. Suppose we can postpone investment three years and, with the new improved technology, the project will have similar risk but for an investment of $5 million will generate perpetual cash flows (beginning exactly one year after the investment) of $500,000. Would you recommend that we invest in the original project or wait three years to invest in the new project
Answers
Answer:
Invest in the original project.
Explanation:
It is better for the company to invest in the current project rather than waiting for three year. The project after three years will require initial investment of $5 million and will provide returns of $500,000. These cash flows needs to be discounted at a discount factor to determine the present value of the cash flow. The value of money three years later will be lower than the current value.

Explanation:
This is the remaining part of the question :
Required: Calculate depreciation expense of the equipment for the first year, using each of the following methods
1. Straight-line.
2.Double Declining Method
3.Activity Based
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
(43,000 - 4000) / 10 = $3900
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2/10 = 0.2
Depreciation expense = 0.2 x $43,000 = $8600
Activity method based on hours worked = (hours worked that year / total hours of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
(1200 / 13,000) x (43,000 - 4000) = $3600
Calgary Manufacturing company makes chairs and desks. The following costs were incurred in making its products during its first year of operation. Chairs Desks Total Direct Materials $ 8,500 $ 10,500 $ 19,000 Direct Labor 16,500 12,500 29,000 Also the company incurred $22,910 of employee benefits cost. Since these overhead costs are driven by the use of labor they are allocated to the products based on the direct labor dollars. Based on this information alone the total cost of making chairs is. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answers
Answer: $38035
Explanation:
Firstly, the allocation rate per labor will be: = Allocated cost / Allocation base
= $22910 / $29000
= $0.79 per labor
Overhead cost allocated to chairs will be:
= $16500 x 0.79 = $13035
Overhead cost allocated to Desks will be:
= $12500 × 0.79 = $9875
The total cost of making chairs will then be:
= Material cost + Labor cost + Overhead cost
= $8500 + $16500 + $13035
= $38035
Consider the economy of Citronia, where citizens consume only oranges. Assume that oranges cost $1 each, and each person can buy at most 5,000 oranges. The government has devised the following tax plans:
Plan A Plan B
Consumption up to 1,000 oranges is taxed at 20%. Consumption up to 2,000 oranges is taxed at 30%.
Consumption higher than 1,000 oranges is taxed at 80%. Consumption higher than 2,000 oranges is taxed at 10%.
Required:
Derive the marginal and average tax rates under each tax plan at the consumption levels of 500 oranges.
Answers
Explanation:
We are to find marginal tax and average tax rate at a consumption level of 500 oranges for plan A and plan B
Plan A
Consumption level = 500 oranges
Tax = 20%
Tax payable on this = 500 x 20% = 500 x 0.2 = 100
Marginal tax rate = 20 %
Average tax return = 100/500 = 0.2x100 = 20%
Plan B
At tax rate = 30%
Same consumption level
Tax payable = 500 x 30% = 500 x 0.3 = 150
Marginal tax rate = 30%
Average tax rate = 150/500 = 0.3 x 100 = 30%

Barrington Industries anticipated selling 29,000 units of a major product and paying sales commissions of $6 per unit. Actual sales and sales commissions totaled 31,500 units and $182,700, respectively. If the company used a static budget for performance evaluations, Barrington would report a cost variance of: Multiple Choice $6,300U. $6,300F. $8,700U. $8,700F. None of the answers is correct.
Answers
Answer:
Barrington would report $8,700U cost variance.
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Actual sales commissions = $182,700
Budgeted sales commissions = Anticipated sales units * commissions of per unit = 29,000 * $6 = $174,000
Sales commission cost variance = Actual sales commissions - Budgeted sales commissions = $182,700 - $174,000 = $8,700U
Since the Actual sales commissions is greater than Budgeted sales commissions, the cost variance is unfavourable and Barrington would report $8,700U cost variance.

The Jamison Company's inventory was destroyed on July 4, 2016, when its warehouse caught on fire early in the morning. Inventory was totally destroyed. The accounting records, which were located in a fireproof vault, contained the following information: Sales (1/1/16 through 7/3/16)$240,000 Purchases (1/1/16 through 7/3/16)180,000 Inventory (1/1/16)45,000 Gross profit ratio25% of cost Using the gross profit method, what is the estimated cost of the inventory that was destroyed by the fire
Answers
Answer:
$15,000
Explanation:
With regards to the above information, the estimated cost of inventory that was destroyed by fire is computed as
= [Sales - (Purchases + Inventory)]
Given that;
Sales 1/1/16 through 7/3/16 = $240,000
Purchases 1/1/16 through 7/3/16 = $180,000
Inventory 1/1/16 = $45,000
= [$240,000 - ($180,000 + $45,000)]
= $240,000 - $225,000
= $15,000

Answer:
$809,000
Explanation:
Bliss madison offers $2,000,000 new stocks
He pays $291,000 in cash dividend
The company took advantage of the falling interest rate to borrow $1,600,000
They paid off bonds with an existing face value of $2,500,000
Therefore the net cash flow can be calculated as follows
= 2,000,000-291,000+1,600,000-2,500,000
= 809,000
Hence the net cash flow is $809,000
Ingersoll Company has a bond currently outstanding. The bond has a face value of $1,000 and matures in 10 years. The bond makes no coupon payments for the first three years, then pays $45 every six months over the subsequent four years, and finally pays $100 every six months over the last three years. If the required return on these bonds is 5.8% percent compounded semiannually, what is the current price of the bond
Answers
Answer:
$1,196.01
Explanation:
What is the current price of the bond
Face value of Bond = $1000
Term (maturity time) = 10 years
periods = 10 *2 = 20 ( semiannual compound of interest )
Yield = 5.8%. semiannual yield = 5.8% / 2 = 2.9% = 0.029
Next : calculate the value of bond using the relationship below
Discounting factor = 1/(1 + r)^n
n = number of payments
note : payments are made semiannually
attached below is a Table showing the discounting factor and present value starting from the 4th year ( Biannually )i.e. when payment commenced

The Howland Carpet Company has grown rapidly during the past 5 years. Recently, its commercial bank urged the company to consider increasing its permanent financing. Its bank loan under a line of credit has risen to $250,000 carrying an 8% interest rate. Howland has been 30 to 60 days late in paying trade creditors.
Discussions with an investment banker have resulted in the decision to raise $500,000 at this time. Investment bankers have assured the firm that the following alternatives are feasible (flotation costs will be ignored).
* Alternative 1: Sell common stock at $8
* Alternative 2: Sell convertible bonds at an 8% coupon, convertible into 100 shares of common stock for each $1,000 bond (i.e., the conversion price is $10 per share).
* Alternative 3: Sell debentures at an 8% coupon, each $1,000 bond carrying 100 warrants to buy common stock at $10.
John L. Howland, the president, owns 80% of the common stock and wishes to maintain control of the company. There are 100,000 shares outstanding. The following are extracts of Howland
Answers
Answer:
Alternative 3 ( Sell debentures at an 8% coupon, each $1,000 bond carrying 100 warrants to buy common stock at $10) is the best alternative if Mr. John is to maintain control of the company
Explanation:
Given data :
Bank loan under a line of credit = $250,000
interest rate on bank loan = 8%
lateness = 30 to 60 days
Action : To raise $500,000
Question : Determine the best Alternative for John Howland if he wants to maintain control of the company
Considering alternative 1 ( sell common stock at $8 )
Current liabilities = $150,000
Common stock, par $1 = $600,000
retained earnings = $50,000
Total claims / Total assets = $800,000
next determine Mr. John Howland control here
no of shares issued = 62500 ( 500000/8)
Total shares outstanding = 100,000 + 62500 = 162500
shares owned by Howland = 80% * 100,000 = 80,000
percentage of Howland's share =( 80,000 / 162500 ) * 100 = 49.23%
Next show the effect of earnings per share ( EPS )
EBIT = 20% * 800,000 = $160,000
interest = $0
EBT = $160,000 - $0 = $160,000
Taxes = 40% * 160,000 = $64,000
net income = 160,000 - 64,000 = $96,000
outstanding shares = 162,500
EPS = $0.59
Next determine the debt ratio ( TL / TA )
= current liabilities / Total claims
= 150,000 / 800,000 = 18.75%
Note : After repeating the same processes for Alternative 2 and 3
Alternative 2 ( Sell convertible bonds at an 8% coupon, convertible into 100 shares of common stock for each $1,000 bond (i.e., the conversion price is $10 per share).
Total assets / Total claims = $800,000
Mr. Howland control in Alternative 2 = 53.33%
EPS = $0.64
Debt ratio ( TL/TA ) = 18.75%
Alternative 3 ( Sell debentures at an 8% coupon, each $1,000 bond carrying 100 warrants to buy common stock at $10.
Total assets / Total claims = $1300000
Mr. Howland control in Alternative 3 = 53.33 %
EPS = $0.88
Debit ratio ( TL / TA ) = 50.0%
For John L Howland to maintain control of the company we have to choose an alternative with the Highest EPS value and exerts the highest control in percentage for John Howland and that Alternative is Alternative 3
Both you and your older brother would like to have $28,000 in 13 in years. Because of your success in this class, you feel that you are a more savvy investor than your brother and will be able to earn an annual return of 11.2 percent compared to your brother's 10.4 percent. How much less than your brother will you have to deposit today
Answers
Answer:
$693.16
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How much less than your brother will you have to deposit today
Using this formula
FV= Present value × (1 + interest rate)^number of years
Let plug in the formula
First step
$28,000 = Present value × (1 + 0.112)^13
PV= $28,000 ÷ 1.112^13
PV= $28,000 ÷ 3.97522975235
PV= $7,043.618
Second step
$28,000 = Present value × (1 + 0.104)^13
PV= $28,000 ÷ 1.104^13
PV= $28,000 ÷ 3.61907808993
PV= $7,736.777
Now let calculate how much less than your brother will you have to deposit today
Deposit today= $7,736.777-$7,043.618
Deposit today= $693.159
Deposit today=$693.16 (Approximately)
Therefore How much less than your brother will you have to deposit today will be $693.16
Leading up to the signing of a contract with an integration clause, a buyer sent an e-mail to the seller of a beautiful, new $45,000 boat asking, "You provide financing, right?" The seller responded, "Yes, of course." The contract, which the parties signed yesterday, said nothing about financing. Right after signing, the seller said, "OK, let's get you set up with financing!" He then ran the buyer's credit, which was not good. The buyer was not approved for financing through the seller's only source. The buyer believes that he, therefore, is not liable for the cost of the boat. Is the buyer correct?
Answers
Answer: No, because of the integration clause
Explanation:
Based on the information given, the buyer isn't correct as a result of the integration clause.
The integration clause, is a clause in a written contract that stipulates that a particular contract is complete and that the parties involved agreed to the contract and it's final.
This contract supersedes every other informal understandings and all other oral agreements relating as well. Therefore, the buyer is liable for the cost of the boat.
Imagine a hypothetical economy with a population of 100 people, 80 of which over sixteen. Forty eight of these people who are working and twelve people who are willing, able and looking for work cannot find jobs. The unemployment rate in this economy is____________ % (enter percentage as a whole number, not a decimal, no percentage sign). S
Suppose that 10 of those unemployed people get discouraged and give up looking for work. Now, the unemployment rate is __________% (enter percentage as a whole number, not a decimal, no percentage sign).
Answers
Answer:
a) unemployment rate = 15
b) unemployment rate = 2.5
Explanation:
unemployed people are those who are willing and available to work and have actively been seeking a job in the past four weeks. This accurately describes the 12 people who are willing, able and looking for work but cannot find jobs. To calculate the unemployment rate in percentage, the following formula is used:
[tex]unemployment\ rate = \frac{number\ of\ unemployed}{labour\ force} \times 100\\[/tex]
Where:
a) Number of unemployed = 12
Labour force = 80 (number of people over 16 years of age)
[tex]\therefore unemployment\ rate = \frac{12}{80} \times 100 = 0.15 \times 100 = 15\\[/tex]
b) if 10 of the unemployed people get discouraged and give up looking for work, the number of unemployed becomes 2 persons, (12 - 10 = 2).
[tex]\therefore unemployment\ rate = \frac{2}{80} \times 100 = \frac{200}{80} = 2.5[/tex]
