Answer:
$142,800
Explanation:
Calculation for the estimated loss on the inventory from the fire, using the gross profit method.
First step is to find the Cost of Goods available for sale
Cost of Goods available for sale = $180,000+$156,000
Cost of Goods available for sale= $336,000
Second step is to find the cost of Goods Sold
Cost of Goods Sold = $236,000 - 30%
Cost of Goods Sold = $165,200
Third step is to find the Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of ending inventory = $336,000 - $165,200
Cost of Goods Sold = $170,800
Last step is to calculate the Estimated loss from fire using this formula
Estimated loss from fire= Cost of Goods Sold - Estimated usable damaged goods
Let plug in the formula
Estimated loss from fire= $170,800 - $28,000
Estimated loss from fire= $142,800
Therefore the estimated loss on the inventory from the fire, using the gross profit method will be $142,800

Simplex Company has the following estimated costs for next year:Direct Materials $15,000Direct Labor $55,000Sales Commissions $75,000Salary of Production Manager $35,000Indirect Materials $5,000Advertising Expense $11,000Rent on Factory Equipment $16,000Simplex estimates that 10,000 direct labor and 16,000 machine-hours will be worked during the year. If overhead is applied on the basis of machine-hours, the overhead rate per hour will be:
Answer:
$3.5 per machine hour.
Explanation:
Per the above, we will need to calculate first Estimated manufacturing overhead , which is given as;
Estimated manufacturing overhead = Salary of production supervisor + Indirect materials + Rent on factory equipment
= $35,000 + $5,000 + $16,000
= $56,000
Predetermined overhead rate
= Estimated manufacturing overhead / Estimated machine hours
= $56,000 / 16,000 hours
= $3.50 per machine hour
The fact that one should not add or subtract money unless it occurs at the same point in time is an illustration of what concept
Answer:
B. Time value of money
Explanation:
A) Economy of scale
B) Time value of money
C) Pareto principle
D) Marginal return
Time value of money is a concept which illustrate that one should not add or subtract money unless it occurs at the same point in time.
Time value of money is also known as present discounted value. The time value of money illustrate that people will prefer to receive an amount of money today rather than receive the same amount of money at a later time (future).
This is because money tends to increase in value over a period of time though interest rate. For example, if a person receives $100 today and deposit the money in a savings account at 5% interest rate quarterly. The $100 of today will be worth more than than a $100 of next year because of the compounded interest rate.
If the marginal propensity to consume is equal to 0.85, then a $500 increase in disposable income leads to a:
The question is incomplete. The complete question is stated below.
If the marginal propensity to consume is equal to 0.85, then a $500 increase in disposable income leads to a:
a. $400 increase in consumption spending
b. $75 increase in consumption spending
c. $425 increase in personal saving
d. $75 increase in personal saving
Answer:
If a $500 increase causes an increase of $425 in consumer spending, the rest of $75 is the increase in personal saving. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The marginal propensity to consume or MPC is the percentage of the additional income that will be used for consumption spending. It is a concept that is used to calculate how much of an increase in income will be used in consumption and saving. The formula to calculate MPC is,
MPC = Change in consumer spending / Change in income
0.85 = Change in consumer spending / 500
500 * 0.85 = Change in consumer spending
Change in consumer spending = $425
If a $500 increase causes an increase of $425 in consumer spending, the rest of $75 is the increase in personal saving.

A) Supply of corn will increase and the price of corn will fall
B) Supply of corn will decrease and the price of corn will rise
C) Demand curve for corn will decrease and the price of corn will fall
D) Demand curve for corn will increase and the price of corn will rise
Answer:
B) The Supply of corn will decrease and the price of corn will rise.
Explanation:
Option B is correct because the drought has damaged the corn crops. Therefore, this will affect the supply of corn in the market. Moreover, the damage of corn crops will shift the supply curve leftwards and this shift in the supply curve will push the prices upwards. Thus, the damage of corn crops will increase the prices due to a decrease in its supply.

Explanation:
Movie stars such as Salma Hayeck, Samuel L. Jackson, Dwayne Johnson, and Jennifer Lawrence are paid millions of dollars per movie, which can take as much as 6 months of full-time work for an actor. By contrast, doctors and nurses earn considerably less over the same time period. Why might this be? While the supply of (major film stars OR doctors and nurses) is small and relatively fixed in the short run, the demand for (the average doctor or nurse OR movies featuring these film stars) is quite large globally. By contrast, the marginal benefit of the services provided by (major film stars OR doctors and nurses) is relatively low, although the total benefit is quite high. This illustrates the diamond-water paradox. True or False
Answer:
False
The diamond-water paradox is illustrated by stating that the marginal benefit of the services provided by doctors and nurses is relatively lower than the marginal benefit of the services provided by major film stars. This implies that the supply of doctors and nurses is larger than the demand while the demand for major film stars is larger than the supply.
Explanation:
The marginal utility derived by film consumers from major film stars is higher than the marginal utility derived by patients from doctors and nurses. This is because consumers of the services of major film stars are willing to pay more for the services than consumers of the services of doctors and nurses. Though health is more crucial to life than films, but consumers place more utility value on films than they do on their health, especially after attaining the basic sound health. This actually explains the diamond water paradox, where consumers value diamond and are willing to pay more for diamond than they are willing to pay for life-sustaining water. In a layman's language, people are more willing to value the satisfaction they derive from one more additional film than they are to value the satisfaction they derive from additional healthcare. That means that people only care for the basic in healthcare. But, they can stake more to acquire more diamond.
Economic value added (EVA) is A) the difference between the return on assets and the opportunity cost of capital times the capital base. B) ROA × ROE. C) a measure of the firm's abnormal return. D) largest for high-growth firms.
Answer: A) the difference between the return on assets and the opportunity cost of capital times the capital base.
Explanation:
The Economic Value Added (EVA) is a metric that is used to find out the economic profit that a company has made.
It is calculated by subtracting the return on assets from the opportunity cost of capital and then adjusting it by the capital base which means that it essentially shows much more the company made than it was required to make based on the capital it invested.
If the figure is positive it means the company mad more than expected which is economic profit. The reverse holds true.

Explain how aggregate demand changes when the government increases taxes by $100 billion. Aggregate demand ______.
Answer: D. decreases by less than $100 billion because the tax multiplier is negative
Explanation:
If the Government were to increase taxes then it would reduce the amount of money for spending (disposable income) that people have to be able to buy goods and services.
As a result they will buy less goods and services but this would be less than the $100 billion tax imposed on them because the effect of the tax multiplier is negative.
Tax Multiplier = -Marginal Propensity to Consume / (1 - MPC)

"3. For this question only, assume that on January 2, 2018, Pops, Inc. acquired 192,000 shares of Son Corp. at a cost of $10 per share. At what amount should the Investment in Son be reported on Pops’ December 31, 2018 balance sheet?"
Answer:
The investment in Son Corp. should be reported on Pops' December 31, 2018 balance sheet at $1,920,000 ($10 * 192,000).
Explanation:
There is no indication that the fair price of the shares of Son Corp. has changed from its original cost of $10. Therefore, the investment in Son Corp. can only be reported on the balance sheet of Pops' at the cost price on acquisition. But, assuming that the price has fluctuated over the period, the investment would have been valued at the current market price multiplied by the number of shares.

A 20 percent decrease in the price of breakfast cereal leads to a 30 percent increase in the quantity of cereal demanded. As a result:_________A. total revenue will decrease. B. total revenue will increase. C. total revenue will remain constant. D. the elasticity of demand will increase
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded
Price elasticity = 30% / 20% = 1.5
Demand is elastic. If price is reduced, the quantity demanded would increase and total revenue would increase
As a result of the quantity demanded increasing at a higher rate than the fall in price, the result would be B. total revenue will increase.
When a price decrease is such that the percentage it decreased by is less than the percentage the quantity demanded increased by, the total revenue will increase.
For instance:
Assume a company is selling 10 units of a product for $1. Total revenue:
= 10 x 1
= $10
If price decreases by 20% and quantity demanded increases by 30%, the company would be selling 13 units at $0.80:
= 13 x 0.80
= $10.40
Total revenue has increased.
In conclusion, this scenario would lead to an increase in total revenue.

Equity= common stock - dividend + revenue-expenses incurred
= $25,000-$5,000+$68,000-$32,000
= $20,000+$36,000
= $56,000
Therefore the company's assets can be calculated as follows
= $24,000 + $56,000
= $80,000
Hence the total company's assets is $80,000
