Kyoko lives in Detroit and loves to eat desserts. She spends her entire weekly allowance on pudding and pie. A bowl of pudding is priced at $1.00, and a piece of pecan pie is priced at $4.00. At her current consumption point, Kyoko's marginal rate of substitution (MRS) of pudding for pie is 5. This means that Kyoko is willing to trade five bowls of pudding per week for one piece of pie per week.
Does Caroline's current bundle maximize her utility-in other words, make her as well off as possible? If not, how should she change it to maximize her utility?
A. Caroline could increase her utility by buying more jello and less pie per week.
B. Caroline's current bundle maximizes her utility, and she should keep it unchanged.
C. Caroline could increase her utility by buying less jello and more pie per week.
Answer:
C. Caroline (Kyoko) could increase her utility by buying less jello (pudding) and more pie per week.
Explanation:
the rate of exchange = $4 / $1 = 4
marginal rate of substitution = 5
Kyoko can maximize her utility by increasing the consumption of pecan pie. She should increase her consumption of pecan pie until the marginal rate of substitution = 4.

Variable operating expenses $230,000
Greater Energy Systems recently reported $9,250 of sales, $5,750 of operating costs other than depreciation, and $700 of depreciation. The company had no amortization charges, it had $3,200 of outstanding bonds that carry a 5% interest rate, and its federal-plus-state income tax rate was 35%. In order to sustain its operations and thus generate sales and cash flows in the future, the firm was required to make $1,250 of capital expenditures on new fixed assets and to invest $300 in net operating working capital. 8. Refer to the data for Greater Energy Systems. What is the firm's free cash flow
Answer:
$970
Explanation:
The computation of the free cash flow is shown below:
As we know that
Free cash flow is
= EBIT (1 - tax rate) + depreciation expense - capital expenditure - net working capital
where
EBIT is
Sales $9,250.00
Less: Operating costs excluding depreciation $5,750.00
Less: Depreciation $700.00
Operating income (EBIT) $2,800.00
Now the free cash flow is
= $2,800 × (1 - 0.35) + $700 - $1,250 - $300
= $1,820 + $700 - $1,250 - $300
= $970

In addition to considering the competitive advantage, a court will consider whether the information was, readily available and difficult (and/or expensive) to obtain, when determining whether something is a trade secret. Another important consideration is whether the company made reasonable efforts to protect it.
For example, the recipe and ingredients used in the manufacturing of popular soft drinks and alcoholic beverages is a trade secret that isn't known to many people around the world.
Waterway Industries adopted the dollar-value LIFO method of inventory valuation on December 31, 2019. Its inventory at that date was $1080000 and the relevant price index was 100. Information regarding inventory for subsequent years is as follows: Date Inventory at Current Prices Current Price Index December 31, 2020 $1280000 106 December 31, 2021 1453000 124 December 31, 2022 1621000 129 What is the cost of the ending inventory at December 31, 2020 under dollar-value LIFO? (Round intermediate calculations and final answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 10,000.)
Answer:
$1,373,408
Explanation:
Ending inventory in 2019 = $1,080,000 * 100/100 = $1,080,000
Cost of the ending inventory at December 31, 2020 under dollar-value LIFO is:
= $1,080,000 + [($1280000*106/100) - $1,080,000 ] * 106/100
= $1,080,000 + $293,408
= $1,373,408

Answer:
a. Yes. I would propose an audit adjustment to the management estimate.
b. Appropriate Journal Entry:
Debit Cost of goods sold (Inventory Write-down) $28,000
Credit Inventory $28,000
To adjust the inventory to the net realizable value.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Management estimated market value of inventory = $99,000
Record cost of inventory = $120,000
Recognized loss = $21,000
Auditor's estimate of inventory net realizable value = $71,000 ($78,000 - $7,000)
Required adjustment of inventory value = $28,000 ($99,000 - $71,000)

Craigmont uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts. Its year-end unadjusted trial balance shows Accounts Receivable of $134,500, allowance for doubtful accounts of $965 (credit) and sales of $1,075,000. If uncollectible accounts are estimated to be 4% of accounts receivable, what is the amount of the bad debts expense adjusting entry
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Please see the computation below;
Amount uncollectible
= $134,500 × 4%
= $5,380
Then,
Bad debt
= $5,380 - $965
= $4,415
Therefore, the adjusting entry would be;
Bad debt account Dr $4,415
............................To Allowance for doubtful debt Cr $4,415
(Being bad debt expense that is recorded)
We debited bad debt expense here because it increases the expenses, while allowance for doubtful dent is credited because it decreases the assets.
Two years ago, Panera Bread opened a franchise on Plymouth Road. They bake their bread freshevery morning very early before the store opens, and they dont make more throughout the day. Aloaf costs$2 to bake and can be sold to a customer for$5. Any loaves that are leftover at the endof the day can be donated to a local food bank and will have a$0.50 tax benefit. The manager,Ed, has been estimating how much to bake each day based on his expert judgment. However, thestore has also been recording how many loaves of bread are ordered over the past se
Answer: 373 loaves
Explanation:
Here's the remainder of the question:
However, the store has also been recording how many loaves of bread are ordered over the past several months,and he would like to start using this data to determine how much to bake.When Ed looks at the data, he notices that the number of loaves ordered on Tuesdays is uniformly distributed between 300 and 410 loaves. How many loaves should this Panera location bake on Tuesday mornings?
The number of loaves that Panera location should bake on Tuesday mornings will be calculated thus:
First, we should note that the shortage cost, Cu will be:
= Selling price - Cost .
= $5 - $2
= $3
Also, the overage cost, Co will be:
= cost - salvage benefit
= $2 - $0.5
= $ 1.5
We the n calculate the critical ratio which will be:
= Cu/(Cu+Co)
= 3/(3+1.5)
= 3/4.5
= 0.667
The number of loaves that Panera location should bake on Tuesday mornings will be:
= 300 + [0.667 × (410-300)]
= 300 + (0.667 × 110)
= 300 + 73.37
= 373.37
= 373 loaves

FIFO method assumes that the units to arrive first, will be sold first. Also note that the perpetual Inventory method is used. This means the cost of sales and inventory value is calculated after every transaction.
So with FIFO , Cost of Sales will be calculated on earlier prices (old prices) whilst Inventory will be valued at recent (later prices) prices.
A firm' s sales procedure involves preparing sales invoices based on shipping documents; posting the sales amounts to accounts receivable records; and posting quantities billed to the inventory records. Due to control weaknesses in the procedure, certain goods that are shipped may not be reflected in the sales invoices. The exposure from this risk can result in:
Answer: understatement of revenues and receivables and over statement of inventory
Explanation:
Control weakness simply refers to the failure by a company to implement the internal controls. Based on the information given, the exposure from this risk can result in understatement of revenues and receivables and over statement of inventory.
There'll be understatement of revenue and receivables since sales is not recorded while the inventory will be overstated.

9. Calculating the price elasticity of supply Rajiv is a college student who lives in Chicago and does some consulting work for extra cash. At a wage of $40 per hour, he is willing to work 7 hours per week. At $50 per hour, he is willing to work 10 hours per week. Using the midpoint method, the elasticity of Rajiv's labor supply between the wages of $40 and $50 per hour is approximately , which means that Rajiv's supply of labor over this wage range is .
Answer:
PES = 1.59 elastic
Explanation:
Price elasticity of supply = percentage change in quantity supplied / percentage change in price
% change in quantity = (Q2 - Q1) / [(Q2 + Q1) / 2] = (10 - 7) / [(10 + 7) / 2] = 3 / 8.5 = 35.29%
% change in price = (50 - 40) / [(50 + 40) / 2] = 10 / 45 = 22.22%
PES = 35.29% / 22.22% = 1.59 elastic

A company paid its annual dividends of $5.39 per share last week. The company expects to grow its dividends at the rate of 5.0 percent per year for four years, after which the dividends are expected to remain constant at the level of $7.13 per share per year in perpetuity. If investors require a rate of return of 11.5 percent on this company's stock, what should be the price of one share of this stock today
Answer: $58.7
Explanation:
The price of one share of this stock today will be calculated thus:
Dividend of year 1= $5.39(1 + 0.05) = $5.66
Dividend of Year 2 = $5.39(1 + 0.05)² = $5.94
Dividend of Year 3 = $5.39(1 + 0.05)³ = $6.24
Dividend of Year 4 = $5.39(1 + 0.05)^4 = $6.55
We then calculate the value at year 4 which will be:
= $7.13 / 0.115 = $62
The price will then be:
Price = $5.66 / (1 + 0.115) + $5.94 / (1 + 0.115)² + $6.24/ (1 + 0.115)³ + $6.56 / (1 + 0.115)^4 + $62 / (1 + 0.115)^4
= $58.7

Explanation:
Lindsey Company uses activity-based costing. The company has two products: A and B. The annual production and sales of Product A is 5,000 units and of Product B is 2,000 units. There are three activity cost pools, with estimated total cost and expected activity as follows: Estimated Expected Activity Activity Cost Pools Overhead Cost Product A Product B Total Activity 1 $ 24,000 200 800 1,000 Activity 2 $ 36,900 750 150 900 Activity 3 $ 63,000 1,000 800 1,800 The overhead cost per unit of Product A under activity-based costing is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the activities rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Activity 1= 24,000 / 1,000= $24 per activity unit
Activity 2= 36,900 / 900= $41 per activity unit
Activity 3= 63,000 / 1,800= $35 per activity unit
Now, we can allocate costs to product A:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Activity 1= 24*200= $4,800
Activity 2= 41*750= $30,750
Activity 3= 35*1,000= $35,000
Total allocated costs= $70,550
Finally, the unitary cost:
Unitary cost= 70,550 / 5,000= $14.11

a. What is the company’s net income/loss for 2018? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a positive value.)
b. What is the company's operating cash flow? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
a. The net income or loss for the year 2018 is
Sales $763,000
Less: COGS $462,000
Less: A&S expenses $103,000
Less: Depreciation $148,500
EBIT $49,500
Less: Interest $73,800
Taxable income -$24,300
Less: Taxes(22%) $0
Net income(loss) -$24,300
Net loss = $24,300
b. The operating cash flow is
OCF = EBIT + Depreciation - Taxes
= $49,500 + $148,500 - $0
= $198,000
A stock expects to pay a dividend of $5.49 per share next year. Dividends are expected to grow at 20 percent per year for the following three years. Thereafter, the dividend growth rate is expected to be 3.5 percent per year forever. Investors require a rate of return of 12 percent on this stock. Calculate the annual dividend expected to be paid by the stock nine years from today (D9).
Answer:
The annual dividend expected to be paid by the stock nine years from today (D9) is $11.27 per share.
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculations of annual dividends expected to be paid the stock for Years 1 to 9.
In the attached excel file, the following formula is used:
Current year dividend = Previous year dividend * (100% + Growth rate)
From the attached excel file, the annual dividend expected to be paid by the stock nine years from today (D9) is $11.27 per share (Note: see the bold red color under the Year's 9 Current Year Dividend).

The national employment rate is 72%
The National unemployment rate will be 8%
What is unemployment?
Situation of unemployment refers to the situation when there is a lack of job opportunities and more qualified individuals or candidates seeking job opportunities with their willingness.
The national employment rate helps individuals to know the ratio of employment in the country whereas the national unemployment rate helps to determine the rate of unemployed in the country.
Calculation-
I. The national employment rate
= (employed people / total populations)*100
= (72000,000/ 1,00,000,000)*100
= 72%
II. National unemployment rate
= (unemployed persons/number of persons in the labor force)*100
=(8,000,000 / 1,00,000,000)*100
=8%
Therefore, the rate of employment is 72% whereas the unemployment rate is 8%.
