You are choosing between two goods, X and Y, and your marginal utility from each is as shown in the table above. If your income is $9 and the prices of X and Y are $2/unit and $1/unit, respectively, what quantities of each will you purchase to maximize utility?

Answers

Answer 1

The quantities of good X and good Y that would be bought to maximize the utility value would be:

C). X - 2; Y - 5

Marginal Utility

"Marginal Utility" is defined as the extra utility or contentment received by a customer on the purchase of an extra unit of a good.

Given that,

Income [tex]=[/tex] $[tex]9[/tex]

Price of good X [tex]=[/tex] $[tex]2 /unit[/tex]

Price of good Y [tex]=[/tex] $[tex]1/unit[/tex]

Units of X    [tex]MU_{X}[/tex]             Units of Y            [tex]MU_{Y}[/tex]    

 1                10                       1                       8

 2                 8                        2                       7

 3                 6                       3                       6

 4                 4                        4                        5

 5                  3                        5                        4

 6                  2                        6                       3

We know that,

For maximum utility

[tex]= MU_{X} /Price of X = MU_{Y} /Price of Y[/tex]

So,

[tex]10/2 = 5/1[/tex]

[tex]2[/tex] × [tex]2 + 5[/tex] × [tex]1 = 9[/tex]

2 units of X and 5 units of Y gives maximum utility at the given income with a total utility of $48.

Thus, option C is the correct answer.

Answers

Answer:

1-a. Total Contribution margin is $210,000 and Net operating income is $28,000.

1-b. Degree of Operating Leverage = 7.50

2-a. The expected percentage increase in net operating income for next year is 150%.

2-b. Expected amount of Net Operating Income is $70,000.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Magic Realm, Inc., has developed a new fantasy board game. The company sold 15,000 games last year at a selling price of $20 per game. Fixed costs associated with the game total $182,000 per year, and variable costs are $6 per game. Production of the game is entrusted to a printing contractor. Variable costs consist mostly of payments to this contractor.

Required:

1-a. Prepare a contribution format income statement for the game last year.

1-b. Compute the degree of operating leverage.

2. Management is confident that the company can sell 18,000 games next year (an increase of 3,000 games, or 20%, over last year). Given this assumption:

a. What is the expected percentage increase in net operating income for next year?

b. What is the expected amount of net operating income for next year? (Do not prepare an income statement; use the degree of operating leverage to compute your answer.)

Explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:

1-a. Prepare a contribution format income statement for the game last year.

The contribution format income statement for the game last year can be prepared as follows:

Magic Realm, Inc.

Contribution Income Statement

For Last Year

Details                               Total ($)       Per Unit ($)  

Sales                                 300,000              20

Variable cost                    (90,000)              (6)

Contribution margin         210,000               14

Fixed expense                 (182,000)

Net operating income     28,000  

1-b. Compute the degree of operating leverage.

Degree of Operating Leverage = Contribution Margin / Operating Income = $210,000 / $28,000 = 7.50

2-a. Management is confident that the company can sell 18,000 games next year (an increase of 3,000 games, or 20%, over last year). Given this assumption: What is the expected percentage increase in net operating income for next year?

Since:

Degree of Operating Leverage = Percentage change in Operating Income / Percentage change in Sales

Substituting the relevant values, we have:

7.50 =  Percentage change in Operating Income / 20%

Percentage change in Operating Income = 7.5 * 20% = 150%

Therefore, the expected percentage increase in net operating income for next year is 150%.

2-b. Management is confident that the company can sell 18,000 games next year (an increase of 3,000 games, or 20%, over last year). Given this assumption: What is the expected amount of net operating income for next year? (Do not prepare an income statement; use the degree of operating leverage to compute your answer.)

This can be calculated as follows:

Change in Net Operating Income = 150% * $28,000 = $42,000

Expected amount of Net Operating Income = Current Net Operating Income + Change in Net Operating Income = $28,000 + $42,000 = $70,000

Miltmar Corporation will pay a year-end dividend of $4, and dividends thereafter are expected to grow at the constant rate of 4% per year. The risk-free rate is 4%, and the expected return on the market portfolio is 12%. The stock has a beta of 0.75. What is the intrinsic value of the stock

Answers

Answer:

$66.67

Explanation:

according to the constant dividend growth model

price = d1 / (r - g)

d1 = next dividend to be paid

r = cost of equity

g = growth rate

According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)

required return = 4% + 0.75 ( 12% - 4%) 10%

4/ 0.1 - 0.04 = $66.67

Illumination Corporation operates one central plant that has two divisions, the Flashlight Division and the Night Light Division.

Actual usage for the year by the Flashlight Division was 1400 hours and by the Night Light Division was 600 hours. If a single-rate cost-allocation method is used, what amount of operating costs will be allocated to the Night Light Division

Answers

Answer:

Allocated operating costs= $576,000

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the predetermined operating costs allocation rate:

Predetermined operating costs allocation rate= total estimated operating costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined operating costs allocation rate= (480,000 / 3,000) + 800

Predetermined operating costs allocation rate= $960 per hour

Now, we can allocate overhead to Night Light Division:

Allocated operating costs= Predetermined operating costs allocation rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated operating costs= 960*600

Allocated operating costs= $576,000

On December 30, 2017, the Board of Directors of Blue Manufacturing, Inc. committed to a plan to discontinue the operations of its Owl division. Blue estimated that Owl's 2018 operating loss would be $750,000 and that the fair value of Owl's facilities was $450,000 less than their carrying amounts. The estimate for the 2018 operating loss turned out to be correct. Owl's 2017 operating loss was $1,000,000, and the division was actually sold for $400,000 less than its carrying amount in 2018. Blue's effective tax rate is 35%. In its 2017 income statement, what amount should Blue report as loss from discontinued operations

Answers

Answer:

$942,500

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what amount should Blue report as loss from discontinued operations

Using this formula

Loss from discontinued operations=[(Operating loss+Fair value)*Tax rate]

Let plug in the formula

Loss from discontinued operations=[($1,000,000+ $450,000)* (100% - 35% tax rate)]

Loss from discontinued operations=$1,450,0000*65%

Loss from discontinued operations= $942,500

Therefore what amount should Blue report as loss from discontinued operations is $942,500

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

A bond’s (face value) is generally $1,000 and represents the amount borrowed from the bond’s first purchaser.

A bond issuer is said to be in (default) if it does not pay the interest or the principal in accordance with the terms of the indenture agreement or if it violates one or more of the issue’s restrictive covenants.

A bond contract feature that requires the issuer to retire a specified portion of the bond issue each year is called a (sinking fund provision).

A bond’s (call provision) gives the issuer the right to call, or redeem, a bond at specific times and under specific conditions.

The face value is the dollar value of a security, or a stock's original cost. Default means when the bond issuer doesn't agree with the stated terms of the bond.

To purchase a used automobile, you borrow $10,000 from Loan Shark Enterprises. They tell you the interest rate is 1% per month for 35 months. They also charge you $200 for a credit investigation, so you leave with $9,800 in your pocket. The monthly payment they calculated for you is $385.71/month.
If you agree to these terms and sign their contract, what is the actual APR (annual percentage rate) that you are paying?

Answers

Answer:

The actual APR (annual percentage rate) that you are paying is 12.69%.

Explanation:

The actual annual percentage rate (APR) can be calculated using the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) formula as

follows:

APR = (((Fees + Interest accrued) / Principal / n) * Number of months in a year) * 100 ……………… (1)

Where;

APR = ?

Fees = Credit investigation charged = $200

Principal = Amount borrowed = $10,000

Total accrued amount = Principal * (1 + (Monthly interest rate * Number of months of loan tenure)) = $10,000 * (1 + (1% * 35)) = $13,500

Interest accrued = Total accrued amount - Principal = $13,500 - $10,000 =$3,500

n = Number of months of loan term = 35

Number of months in a year = 12

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

APR = (((200 + 3500) / 10000 / 35) * 12) * 100

APR = 12.69%

Therefore, the actual APR (annual percentage rate) that you are paying is 12.69%.

Zeibart Company purchases equipment for $225,000 on July 1, 2016, with an estimated useful life of 10 years and expected salvage value of $25,000. Straight-line depreciation is used. On July 1, 2020, economic factors cause the market value of the equipment to decline to $90,000. On this date, Zeibart examines the equipment for impairment and estimates $125,000 in future cash inflows related to use of this equipment.

Required:
a. Is the equipment impaired at July 1, 2020?
b. If the equipment is impaired on July I, 2020, compute the impairment loss and prepare a journal entry to record the loss.

Answers

Answer:

a. Yes, the equipment is impaired at July 1, 2020.

b. Impairment loss is $20,000. And the journal entries are as follows:

Debit Impairment loss for $20,000

Debit Accumulated depreciation for $80,000

Credit Equipment for $100,000

Explanation:

a. Is the equipment impaired at July 1, 2020?

This can be determined as follows:

Annual depreciation = (Cost - Salvage value) / Estimated useful life = ($225,000 - $25,000) / 10 = $20,000

Accumulated depreciation till July 1, 2020 = Annual depreciation * Number of years from July 1, 2016 to July 1, 2000 = $20,000 * 4 = $80,000

Net book value at July 1, 2020 = Cost - Accumulated depreciation till July 1, 2020 = $225,000 - $80,000 = $145,000

Equipment recoverable amount = Estimated future cash inflows related to use of the equipment = $125,000

Since the net book value of $145,000 is greater than the recoverable amount of the equipment of $125,000, this implies that the equipment is impaired at July 1, 2020.

b. If the equipment is impaired on July I, 2020, compute the impairment loss and prepare a journal entry to record the loss.

Accumulated depreciation till July 1, 2020 = $80,000

Estimated future cash inflows related to use of the equipment = $125,000

Fair market value = $90,000

Recoverable amount = Higher of estimated future cash inflows related to use of the equipment or Fair market value = $125,000

Net book value at July 1, 2020 = $145,000

Impairment loss = Net book value at July 1, 2020 - Recoverable amount = $145,000 - $125,000 = $20,000

The journal entries will then look as follows:

Date                  Details                                     Debit ($)         Credit ($)

Splish Company uses a periodic inventory system. For April, when the company sold 650 units, the following information is available. Units Unit Cost Total Cost April 1 inventory 310 $34 $ 10,540 April 15 purchase 420 41 17,220 April 23 purchase 270 44 11,880 1,000 $39,640 Compute the April 30 inventory and the April cost of goods sold using the FIFO method.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the ending inventory and cost of goods sold using FIFO method as follows:

Given that

Total goods available for sale = 1000

Units sold = 650

Based on the above information

The Ending inventory  is

= 1000 - 650

= 350

Now 350 units comprise of 270 units of April 23 and the remaining 80 units would be of April 15

SO,

Ending inventory value is

= 270 × 44 + 80 × 41

= $15,160

ANd,

Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available for sale - Ending inventory

= $39,640 - $15,160

= $24,480

You own a house that you rent for $1,275 per month. The maintenance expenses on the house average $235 per month. The house cost $226,000 when you purchased it 4 years ago. A recent appraisal on the house valued it at $248,000. If you sell the house you will incur $19,840 in real estate fees. The annual property taxes are $2,850. You are deciding whether to sell the house or convert it for your own use as a professional office. What value should you place on this house when analyzing the option of using it as a professional office?

Answers

Answer: $228,160

Explanation:

The value that should be placed on this house when analyzing the option of using it as a professional office will be the value of the net proceeds from selling the house and this will be:

= Value of house - Real estate fees

= $248000 - $19840

Next : find the percentage of the observation that lie within 1,2 and 3 std from the mean

For one(1) std from the mean the interval = ( 40.884, 94.626 )

percentage of observation = 665 / 992 = 67.04

For two(2) std from the mean; The interval = ( 14.013 , 121.497 )

percentage of observation = 946 / 992 = 95.36%

For three(3) std from the mean ; The interval = ( -12.858, 148.368 )

percentage of observations = 991 / 992 = 99.90%

The percentages from the above calculations indicates the validity of the normality assumption

C) Obtain the interquartile rage for the data and use these statistics to evaluate the validity of the normality assumption

using MINITAB

since the data are assumed Normal; Ratio = [tex]\frac{IQR}{S} = 1.3[/tex]

std (s) = 26.871,   IQR( interquartile range ) = 37

Next check if     IQR / S will be = 1.3

= 37 / 26.871 = 1.377 ( This validates the normality assumption )

You work for a large electronics distributor. Your job is to provide training and to be a troubleshooter and consultant for users of the company's local area network. In the past, your job has required you to spend a lot of time travelling from building to building to assist users. Now, however, you have a utility program called LANSCAPE that lets you monitor the activities of any user who is logged in. You can see exactly what is being displayed on the user's screen, and can even take over the session if you need to. Your boss tells you, in confidence, that she suspects one or more employees of dealing with illegal drugs on company premises. She has no proof but suspects that they are using the phone and maybe even the computer to make deals. She asks you to monitor the employees and to provide her with a log of all the computer activities of the suspected employees.
1. What are the ethical considerations involved?
2. What are the legal considerations with what you are being asked to do?
3. Your boss asks you to install LANSCAPE on the workstation in her office so she can randomly check on the suspects and gather evidence. What are the ethical considerations involved?
4. What are the legal considerations with installing the software on your boss’s computer?

Answers

Answer: $263,000

Explanation:

Based on the information given, the finished goods inventory on September 30 will be calculated as:

= Begining inventory + Transfers in - Transfers out.

Prepare a statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020, using the indirect method.

Answers

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020 using the indirect method.

Cash flow from operating activities:

Net loss = $12,000

Adjustment to reconcile net loss with cash flows from operating activities:

Depreciation = ($20,000 + $10,000 - $13,000) = $7,000

Loss on sale of land = $2,000

Increase in accounts receivable = ($20,000)

Increase in prepaid expense = ($5,000)

Increase in accounts payable = $6,000

Net cash used in operating activities = ($12,000)

Cash flow from investing activities

Sale of land = ($40,000 - $18,000 - $2,000) = $20,000

Sale of equipment = $5,000

Net cash generated by investing activities = $25,000

Cash flow from financing activities

Retirement of bond = ($12,000)

Proceeds from issuance of bonds = $20,000

Net cash used by financing activities = $8,000

Net increase in cash = $6,000

Add: beginning cash balance = $31,000

Ending cash balance = $37,000

Workings

• Calculation of depreciation

The accumulated depreciation at the end of the year 2020 = ($20,000)

Hence;

Accumulated depreciation at the end of the year 2020 = ($13,000)

Increase in accumulated depreciation during 2020 = $20,000 - $13,000 = $7,000

Add: accumulated depreciation on equipment sold during 2017 = $10,000

Total depreciation expense for 2020 = $7,000 + $10,000 = $17,000

• Calculation of proceeds from sale of land:

Cost of land = $40,000 - $18,000 = $22,000

Loss on sale of land = $2,000

Therefore,

Proceeds from sale of land = cost of land sold - loss on sale of land

= $22,000 - $2,000

= $20,000

• Calculation of issuance of bonds payable during 2020

The bonds payable at the end of year 2019 = $19,000

Hence,

Bonds payable at the end of year 2020 = $27,000

Retirement of bonds during year 2020 = $12,000

Therefore,

Bonds issued during 2020 = $27,000 + $12,000 - $19,000 = $20,000
