Consider the effects of inflation in an economy composed of only two people: Larry, a bean farmer, and Megan, a rice farmer. Larry and Megan both always consume equal amounts of rice and beans. In 2016 the price of beans was $1, and the price of rice was $4.
Suppose that in 2017 the price of beans was $2 and the price of rice was $8.
Inflation was.
Indicate whether Larry and Megan were better off, worse off, or unaffected by the changes in prices.
Better Off
Worse Off
Unaffected
Larry
Megan
Now suppose that in 2017 the price of beans was $2 and the price of rice was $4.80.
In this case, inflation was.
Indicate whether Larry and Megan were better off, worse off, or unaffected by the changes in prices.
Better Off
Worse Off
Unaffected
Larry
Megan
Now suppose that in 2017, the price of beans was $2 and the price of rice was $1.60.
In this case, inflation was.
Indicate whether Larry and Megan were better off, worse off, or unaffected by the changes in prices.
Better Off
Worse Off
Unaffected
Larry
Megan
What matters more to Larry and Megan?
The relative price of rice and beans
The overall inflation rate
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.
(Last Word) Fixed costs for a firm are analogous to: Group of answer choices starting out in a hole that represents economic losses if the firm produces nothing. digging a deeper financial hole by producing when prices are too low. the cost of the shovel needed to fill the financial hole. the dirt that fills up the financial hole.
Answer:
starting out in a hole that represents economic losses if the firm produces nothing.
Explanation:
Cost-volume-profit analysis is also known as the break even analysis, it is an important tool in predicting the volume of activity, the costs to be incurred, the sales to be made, and the profit to be earned is. It is used to determine how changes in differing levels of activities such as costs and volume affect a company's operating income and net income.
Fixed costs can be defined as predetermined expenses in a business that remain constant for a specific period of time regardless of the quantity of production or level of outputs. Thus, they are the costs which are not directly related to the level of production or not affected by the quantity of output in an organization. Some examples of fixed costs in business are loan payments, employee salary, depreciation, marketing costs, rent, insurance, lease, utilities, administrative cost, research and development costs, etc.
Furthermore, fixed costs may be relevant in a decision because it affects the amount of future cash-flow of a business entity.
Hence, the fixed costs for a firm are analogous to starting out in a hole that represents economic losses if the firm produces nothing. This simply means that, the firm is only using it money to fund the all of the necessary items or utilities required for the operation of its business but do not produce any goods or services. Simply stated, the firm is not generating any revenue as its produces nothing.
Suppose the production of long-distance airline flights is described by a fixed proportion production process in which three crew members (i.e., labor) are required for each aircraft (i.e., capital). If the airline operates with four crew members per plane, then we know that: A. the production process violates diminishing margin returns. B. production at this point is technically inefficient. C. the isoquants for this production process are upward sloping. D. the airline will have negative profits.
Answer:
production at this point is technically inefficient.
Explanation:
The Factors of Production are simply the inputs in the production process such as labor, capital, materials.
The production function shows the various materials or recipes for producing a given level of output. It shows the output that can be produced if the firm is technically efficient.
Production at point of technically inefficient are said to be points in the production set but not on the production function.
Fixed Proportion Production Function is simply a Production function with L-shaped isoquants that is only one combination of labor and capital can be used to produce each level of output. It describes situations in which methods of production are limited.

The correct option is A. Income would increase by $40,000.
Explanation:
Note: There are some errors in the data provided in this question. The errors are threfore fixed by providing the complete question again before answering the question as follows:
Vaughn Manufacturing manufactures a product with a unit variable cost of $100 and a unit sales price of $176. Fixed manufacturing costs were $480000 when 10000 units were produced and sold. The company has a one-time opportunity to sell an additional 1000 units at $140 each in a foreign market which would not affect its present sales. If the company has sufficient capacity to produce the additional units, acceptance of the special order would affect net income as follows:______.
A. Income would increase by $40,000.
B. Income would increase by $8,000.
C. Income would decrease by $8,000
D. Income would increase by $140,000
The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:
Additional units to be sold = 1000
Selling price per unit of additional units to be sold = $140
Unit variable cost = $100
Expected change in income if the special order is accepted = (Selling price per unit of additional units to be sold - Unit variable cost) * Additional units to be sold = ($140 - $100) * 1000 = $40,000
Therefore, the correct option is A. Income would increase by $40,000.

Explanation:
Ornaments, Inc.,is an all-equity firm with a total market value of $520,000 and 18,500 shares of stock outstanding. Management believes the earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) will be $73,000 if the economy is normal. If there is a recession, EBIT will be 10 percent lower, and if there is a boom, EBIT will be 20 percent higher. The tax rate is 40 percent. What is the EPS in a recession?
Answer:
2.1308
Explanation:
EPS recession = (EBIT normal * (1 - Reduction in recession) * (1 - Tax rate)/shares
EPS recession = ($73,000 * (1 - 0.1)) * (1 - 0.40)/18,500
EPS recession = $65,700 * 0.6 / 18,500
EPS recession = 2.130810810810811
EPS recession = 2.1308

Testbank Multiple Choice Question 81 At the beginning of 2020, Sunland Company issued 8% bonds with a face value of $5700000. These bonds mature in the five years, and interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. The bonds were sold for $5259870 to yield 10%. Sunland uses a calendar-year reporting period. Using the effective-interest method of amortization, what amount of interest expense should be reported for 2020
Answer:
$527,737
Explanation:
The Bond Payment or Coupon always includes the Interest Portion and the the Capital Potion. The question only requires the Interest Portion of the Bond.
The Bond Parameters can be set as :
PV = - $5,259,870
FV = $5,700,000
PMT = ($5,700,000 x 8%) ÷ 2 = $228,000
N = 5 x 2 = 10
YTM = 10 %
P/YR = 2
Constructing an amortization schedule for 2020 gives :
Date Capital Portion Interest Balance
June 30 $34,994 $262,994 $5,294,864
Dec 30 $36,743 $264,743 $5,331,607
Total $71,737 $527,737 $5,331,607
therefore,
The amount of interest expense to be reported for 2020 is $527,737

A note payable was executed by Sterling Inc. to Miami Finance Company. Sterling Inc. used $768,000 of its accounts receivable as collateral for the loan. The contract provided that Miami would advance 85% of the gross amount of the receivables. Sterling Inc. continues to collect payments for the receivables and the cash from customers is then remitted to the finance company. The cash remitted is first applied to the finance charges, with the remainder applied to principal.
During the first month, customers owing $524,800 paid cash, less sales returns and allowances of $20,480, originally recorded as a refund liability. The finance charge at the end of the first month was $4,480. During the second month, the remaining receivables were collected in full, except for $5,120 off as uncollectible. Final settlement was effected with the finance company, including payment of an additional finance charge of $1,920.
Required:
a. Record the entry for Sterling to record the secured borrowing.

Explanation:
The following steps would be taken to determine the answer
Calculate depreciation expense given the initial information calculate the accumulated depreciation by the third year. Accumulated depreciation is sum of depreciation expensesubtract the accumulated depreciation from the cost price of the asset. This would give the book value calculate the depreciation expense using the new information and the book valueStraight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
($100,000 - $10,000) / 12 = $7500
Depreciation expense each year is $7500
Accumulated depreciation = $7500 x 2 = $15,000
Book value at the beginning of year 3 = $100,000 - $15,000 = $85,000
($85,000 - $2800) / 4 = $20,550

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?

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

a company acquired a truck for 130,000 residual value was estimated to be $20,000 the truck can be driven for 50,000 miles or a useful life of four years. Actual usage of the truck was recorded as 10,000 miles for the first year. What is the amount of depreciation expesne for the first year calculated by the double
Answer:
$65,000
Explanation:
Depreciation Expense = 2 x SLDP x BVSLDP
where,
SLDP = 100 ÷ 4 = 25 %
BVSLDP = $130,000 (FIRST YEAR)
therefore,
Depreciation Expense = 2 x 25 % x $130,000 = $65,000

One reason critics think advertising is wasteful is that: a. advertising is silent about things like product quality. b. businesses use deceptive methods of advertising which is harmful for consumers. c. large sums of money are spent on advertising that produces no consumer benefit. d. most ads are distasteful and send the wrong messages to consumers.
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.
Two alternatives, code-named X and Y, are under consideration at Guyer Corporation. Costs associated with the alternatives are listed below. Alternative X Alternative Y Materials costs $ 41,000 $ 59,000 Processing costs $ 45,000 $ 45,000 Equipment rental $ 17,000 $ 17,000 Occupancy costs $ 16,000 $ 24,000 Are the materials costs and processing costs relevant in the choice between alternatives X and Y
Answer: Only Material costs are relevant
Explanation:
The material cost under alternative X is given as $41000 while under alternative Y is given as $59000.
The processing cost under alternative X is given as $45000 while under alternative Y, the processing cost is given as $45000 as well.
Then, we can deduce that only the materials costs are relevant since the processing costs are thesame.

Faux Trees Company produces artificial Christmas trees. A local shopping mall recently made a special order offer; the shopping mall would like to purchase 230 extra-large white trees. Faux Trees Company is currently producing and selling 20,000 trees; the company has the excess capacity to handle this special order. The shopping mall has offered to pay $160 for each tree. An accountant at Faux Trees Company provides an estimate of the unit product cost as follows:
Direct materials $51.61
Direct labor​ (variable) $3.80
Variable manufacturing overhead $1.00
Fixed manufacturing overhead ​$4.00
Total unit cost $60.41
This special order would require an investment of $5,000 for the molds required for the extra−large trees. These molds would have no other purpose and would have no salvage value. The special order trees would also have an additional variable cost of $8.26 per unit associated with having a white tree. This special order would not have any effect on the​ company's other sales. If the special order is​ accepted, the​ company's operating income would increase​ (decrease) by:_______
a. $15679 decrease.
b. $15,679 increase.
c. $16,708 decrease.
d. $10,679 increase.
Answer: $16,925.90 increase
Explanation:
Company already has the excess capacity to handle this order so the fixed costs will not be included as they would have already been incurred.
Cost of manufacturing the trees would be:
= Variable cost + Fixed cost
= ((51.61 + 3.80 + 1.00 + 8.26 for white tree) * 230 trees) + 5,000 for molds
= (64.67 * 230) + 5,000
= $19,874.10
Incremental revenue = 230 trees * 160
= $36,800
Incremental operating income = 36,800 - 19,874.1
= $16,925.90 increase
