Answer:
COGS= $124,500
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Finished goods inventory, April 1 $ 31,300
Finished goods inventory, April 30 25,500
Total cost of goods manufactured 118,700
To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to use the following formula:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory
COGS= 31,300 + 1$118,700 - 25,500
COGS= $124,500

When dealing with tangible products, consistency is usually measured in terms of:_____.
A. Features.
B. Attributes.
C. Systems.
D. Defects.
Answer:
D. Defects
Explanation:
In order to meet the unending needs and wants of consumers, to satisfactorily provide products that meets their requirements, tastes or preferences various manufacturing companies use five (5) main methods of production, and these are; labour-intensive production, mass production, batch production, capital-intensive production and job production.
Generally in Economics, the question of how goods are produced, determines how resources are combined in the production of goods.
This ultimately implies that, before a manufacturer produce its goods it determines the amount of resources that are available. These resources that are to be combined for the purpose of production of goods are entrepreneur, land, labor, and capital, which are generally referred to as the four (4) factors of production.
A tangible product refers to any product that can be physically touched by the end users or consumers such as electronic gadgets, bread, furniture, cooking utensils, etc.
When dealing with tangible products, consistency is usually measured in terms of defects. Any goods (products) manufactured by a company that is consistently devoid of defects such as broken parts or missing parts is generally considered to be of high quality and as such consumers would feel safe to use or buy such tangible products at all times.
According to the rational-actor model, as the benefits of an activity rise a. we should observe fewer people undertaking the activity, because when benefits rise, costs usually rise by more. b. we should observe more people undertaking the activity. c. it is hard to predict how people will react, because some people are often irrational. d. the costs will rise too. e. none of the above
Answer: b.we should observe more people undertaking the activity
Explanation:
The rational actor model follows the theory of rational choice which believes that the behavior of individual actors make up the social behavior on the society and that the individual actors are all making their own individual decisions.
It should be noted that when there's an increase in the benefits of an activity, this will lead to more people enjoying the benefit as there will be more players.
Therefore, the correct option is B
Consider a production function that only uses labor as its variable input, and all other inputs are fixed. Within this procution, it is optimal to hire labor units in the short run as long as:______.
1) value marginal product of labor is greater than wage.
2) marginal product of labor is less than product price.
3) average product of labor is greater than wage.
4) value marginal product of labor is less than product price.
Answer:
1) value marginal product of labor is greater than wage.
Explanation:
In the case when the labor is considered to be the variable input while the other inputs are considered to be fixed
So, the equation would be
VMPL = MPL x Output price
where,
VMPL = Function of labor demand
And, in the short run, the hiring is the optimum as bigger as VMPL as it is more than or equivalent to the wage rate
Therefore the correct option is 1.
How can parties that have unequal bargaining power negotiate meaningfully,
without one party taking advantage of the other?
Answer:
Through Collaborative bargaining
Explanation:
Parties that have an unequal bargaining power can negotiate meaningfully, without one party taking advantage of the other through the method known as collaborative bargaining. In collaborative bargaining, both the involved parties listen to each other’s claims and issues and then collaborate to come to a consensus. There is transparency in the overall bargaining process and hence there is very less probability that one party is taking advantage of the other party.

Suppose the interest rate on your car loan is 19.00% and the inflation rate is 18.00%. Calculate the real interest rate
Answer:
1%
Explanation:
The real interest rate is the interest rate adjusted for inflation. It is the rate after accounting for inflation. The real interest rate is the difference between the inflation rate from the quoted(nominal )interest rate.
real interest rate = quoted interest rate - inflation rate
=19% - 18%
=1%

You borrow $10,000 today at a nominal rate of 5%; inflation for the past 10 years has been exactly 2%. Today, inflation instantly rises to 7% and stays that way for the duration of your loan. Based on the above information, ceteris paribus (all else equal), today: Group of answer choices
Here is the answer choice to the question
a. the real rate of interest on your loan is 14%.
b. the real rate of interest on your loan was previously 10% and is now 35%.
c. the real rate of interest on your loan is now –2%.
d. you will pay the lender back exactly $9,500.
e. you will pay the lender back exactly $10,700
Answer:
C. the real interest rate on your loan is now -2%
Explanation:
The real interest rate of can be gotten by subtracting the nominal interest rate from the inflation rate from nominal interest rate
Inflation rate = 7%
Nominal interest rate= 5%
= 5 percent - 7 percent
= -2%
The real interest rate can be defined as the rate of interest an investor, saver or lender is going to receive after they have allowed for inflation.
Suppose 1-year T-bills currently yield 7.00% and the future inflation rate is expected to be constant at 2.00% per year. What is the real risk-free rate of return, r*
Answer:
Real risk-free rate of return = 5.00%
Explanation:
r* = T-Bill yield - IP
Real risk-free rate of return = T-bills currently yield - Inflation rate
Real risk-free rate of return = 7.00% - 2.00%
Real risk-free rate of return = 5.00%

1.Provide definitions of throughput, inventory and operational expense given in The Goal. How do they compare with traditional definitions
Answer:
The Goal:
This involves increasing net profit and as this is done, return on investment is increased and cash flow is also increased.
Throughput can be defined as the rate by which money is being generated by the system through sales.
Inventory is all amount of money that is currently in the system. It is all the amount of money that has been invested in buying things which the system has intentions of selling.
Operational expense is all amount of money that has been spent by the system in trying to turn inventory into throughput.
Compared to traditional definitions they are almost basically with the same meaning.
In 2019, Waterway Industries sold 3000 units at $250 each. Variable expenses were $165 per unit, and fixed expenses were $780000. The same variable expenses per unit and fixed expenses are expected for 2020. If Waterway cuts selling price by 4%, what is Waterway's break-even point in units for 2020?
a) 9559
b) 9176.
c) 10000.
d) 10400.
Answer:
d) 10400.
Explanation:
The computation of the break even point in units is shown below:
Break even point in units is
= Fixed cost ÷ contribution margin per unit
= $780,000 ÷ ($250 × 96% - $165)
= $780,000 ÷ ($240 - $165)
= $780,000 ÷ $75
= 10,400 units
hence, the correct option is d. 10,400 units

One of the draw backs of the profitablity index as a criteria for judging whether to accept a capital investment project is that:_______
Answer:
It might lead to over-optimistic projections
Explanation:
In simple words, the problem with using profitability index as the index criteria lies with the procedure of estimating it. In order to consider the business situation, the organisational finance group requires to settle with the corporation supervisors.
Leadership may be too enthusiastic about their assignment, so forecasts for cash flow may be too substantial. Consequently, in predicting the profitability index, there may be an uptrend prejudice.
You are depositing $1,500 in a retirement account today and expect to earn an average return of 6.5 percent on this money. How much additional income will you earn if you leave the money invested for 50 years instead of just 40 years?
Answer:
$16,335.90622
Explanation:
The computation of the additional income earned is shown below:
For 40 years
Future value = Present value × (1 + rate of interest)^number of years
= $1,500 × (1 + 0.065)^40
= $18,624.1118
For 50 years
Future value = Present value × (1 + rate of interest)^number of years
= $1,500 × (1 + 0.065)^50
= $34,960.01802
Now the additional amount is
= $34,960.01802 - $18,624.1118
= $16,335.90622

Why does the adoption of new technology tend to increase supply?
Answer:
New technology allows firms to produce at a lower cost. As a result, as firms adopt a new technology, their cost curves shift downward. Market supply increases, and the market supply curve shifts rightward. With a given demand, the quantity produced increases and the price falls.
If the Fed has an interest-rate target, meaning they want to control the interest rate at a specific rate such as 4%, why will an increase in the demand for reserves lead to a rise in the money supply?
Answer:
A rise in demand for reserves will shift the demand for reserves curve to the right which will cause a rise in interest rates. The Fed will then have to act to reduce this interest rate because they would prefer that it remained at the specific rate as mentioned.
To do this they will embark on Open Market Operations aimed at increasing money supply as this will reduce interest rates by increasing the supply of reserves because it will shift the supply curve for reserves to the right. The new equilibrium will be a lower interest rate.
The relevant Open Market Operation will be the buying of bonds from the public.
