During the second quarter of Year 1, Barbara's Bakery purchased furnishings (7 year property) at an original cost of $15,000. She did NOT take bonus depreciation or Section 179 expense in the year of purchase. Due to other asset purchases in Year 1, the mid-quarter convention is being used for calculating the depreciation on the furnishings. If Barbara sells the furnishings in October of Year 4 how much can she deduct for depreciation in the year of sale
Answer:
$1,571
Explanation:
MACRS mid-quarter convention for assets placed into service in the second quarter:
year depreciation %
1 17.85%
2 23.47%
3 16.76%
4 11.97%
5 17.85%
Since Barbara sold the asset before the year's end, she must calculate the depreciation expense using a percentage of total depreciation per year:
depreciation for year 4 = asset's value x 21/24 half months x 11.97% = $1,571.06 ≈ $1,571

Explanation:
Southern Imports is an all-equity firm with a beta of 1.32. The firm is considering a new project that entails less risk than its current operations and thus management feels that the firm's beta should be lowered by .18 when assigning a discount rate to this project. The market rate of return is 9.4 percent and the risk-free rate is 2.8 percent. What discount rate should be assigned to this project
Answer:
The answer is "10.32%".
Explanation:
The actual beta firm =1.32
if new beta reduced by 1.8
beta firm= 1.14(1.32-1.8)
market return= 9.4%
risk-free return=2.8%
formula:
[tex]\to \text{Discount rate= risk} +beta \times (return-risk)}[/tex]
[tex]=2.8+1.14(9.4-2.8)\\\\=10.32%[/tex]
At a sales volume of 44,000 units, Thoma Corporation's sales commissions (a cost that is variable with respect to sales volume) total $585,200. To the nearest whole cent, what should be the total sales commission per unit at a sales volume of 46,300 units
Answer: $13.30 per unit
Explanation:
Thoma Corporation Sales Commission per unit;
= Total Sales commission/ Sales volume
= 585,200/44,000
= $13.30
For a sales volume of 46,300 units, the commission per unit will be the same $13.30 per unit as this cost is variable with respect to sales volume.

Novak Corp. developed the following information about its inventories in applying the lower of cost or market (LCM) basis in valuing inventories: Product Cost Market
A $139000 $146000
B 98000 93000
C 195000 198000
If Novak applies the LCM basis, the value of the inventory reported on the balance sheet would be:________
a. $442000
b. $432000
c. $437000
d. $427000
Answer: $427,000
Explanation:
Based on the Generally Accepted Accounting principles, to solve this question, the inventory have to be recorded based on the lower cost or net realizable value. This will therefore be:
A = $139,000
B = $93,000
C = $195,000
The value of the inventory reported on the balance sheet would be:
= $139,000 + $93,000 + $195,000
= $427,000

Which of the following statements would be most likely to minimize expected fixing costs? a. A machine should always be calibrated at the midpoint between the upper and lower spec limits. b. A machine should be calibrated closer to the upper spec limit than the lower spec limit if the cost of fixing output that is too high is greater than the cost of fixing output that is too low. c. A machine should be calibrated closer to the lower spec limit than the upper spec limit if the cost of fixing output that is too high is greater than the cost of fixing output that is too low.
Answer: c. A machine should be calibrated closer to the lower spec limit than the upper spec limit if the cost of fixing output that is too high is greater than the cost of fixing output that is too low.
Explanation:
If the cost of fixing output that is too high is greater than the cost of fixing output that is too low then it make sense to calibrate the machine closer to the lower spec limit.
This way if the machine produces less output than is required, it can be fixed at a lower cost than if the machine had been set to the upper spec and produces output that is too high.

How are productive resources
allocated among people and
businesses in the United States?
Answer:
see below
Explanation:
America is a good example of a free-market economy. In this type of market, productive resources are allocated through the interaction of a willing buyer and a willing seller. In a market economy, Mutual beneficial exchange of resources through trade is relied upon to solve economic problems. An Individual's self-interest is viewed as a benefit to society.

Assume that this law holds for Quincy with ice cream and pretzels. Quincy decides to eat less ice cream and more pretzels. As a result:_______.
A. Quincy's marginal utility of ice cream decreases, and his marginal utility of pretzels increases.
B. Quincy's marginal utility of both ice cream and pretzels decreases.
C. Quincy's marginal utility of both ice cream and pretzels increases.
D. Quincy's marginal utility of ice cream increases, and his marginal utility of pretzels decreases.
Answer: 1. a. As a person consumes more and more of a certain good, the addition to total satisfaction decrease.
2. D.Quincy's marginal utility for ice cream increases and his marginal utility for pretzels decreases.
Explanation:
Diminishing marginal utility implies that one gains extra satisfaction from the consumption of an extra unit of a particular good but that as one continue to consume, there'll be dissatisfaction because the extra unit consumed will not bring more satisfaction like the former ones.
For example, if one is thirsty and buys water, an extra unit will at first give satisfaction but more extra water will not be as satisfying like the first one.
If Quincy eats less ice cream and more pritzels, the marginal utility for ice cream will increase as she'll get more satisfaction because she only consumed less while for pritzels, the satisfaction will reduce if she takes an extra.
The sticky-price theory of the short-run aggregate supply curve says that if the price level rises by 5% while firms were expecting it to rise by 2%, then some firms with high menu costs will have:________.
Answer:
to keep their prices the same
Explanation:
Remember, having a higher Menu cost implies that such a firm would suffer more if it adjusted its prices.
So the sticky-price theory makes the assumption that a firm that notices an increase in the prices of their products would keep their prices low out of fear that doing so would result in losses for the firm if demand changes negatively.
Income generated by sales of foreign-produced goods in U.S. markets flows to foreign producers of these goods, and thus this income is subtracted from U.S. GDP.
a. True
b. False
Answer: True
Explanation:
Foreign produced goods being sold in the United States are considered to be Imports. Imports are a leakage to the GDP of a nation as they represent income which flows out of the economy to other countries.
For this reason this income is subtracted from US GDP.
Indeed the Expenditure method accounts for this by deducting it from US Exports.
Owners of a local restaurant are concerned about their ability to provide quality service as they continue to grow and attract more customers. They have collected data from Friday and Saturday nights, their busiest times of the week. During these time periods about 75 customers arrive per hour for service. Given number of tables and chairs, and the typical time it takes to serve a customer, the owners estimate they can serve on average about 100 customers per hour. Use Exhibit 5.6. During these nights, are they in the zone of service, the critical zone, or the zone of nonservice?
Answer:
the critical zone
Explanation:
So, we have the following information or data from the question/problem, they are:
=> In order to improve on the restaurant service and give more quality, customers data were collected in from Friday and Saturday nights which happens to be the local restaurant's busiest times of the week.
=> From the data collected it was shown that 75 customers arrive per hour for service.
=> After getting the data above the owners of the local restaurant estimated that they can serve on average about 100 customers per hour.
In order to improve on the restaurant service and give more quality, the utilization rate must be calculated. Therefore the utilization rate is arrival rate divided by service rate that is to say;
The utilization rate = arrival rate/ service rate.
The utilization rate = 75/100 = 0.75 = 75%.
The next step is to draw the diagram showing the relationship between rate of service utilization and service rate.
So, from the graph we have that with the 75%, the zone that it falls to is the CRITICAL ZONE.
a. Why do some price controls help create black markets?
b. What is a black market you have personally seen?
Answer:
Price ceiling creates black markets
Price ceiling is when the government or an agency of the government sets the maximum price of a good or service. Price ceiling is binding if it is set below equilibrium price.
When a binding price floor is established, producers would earn less profits and as a result they would stop selling their products in the free markets. This would lead to scarcity and a result a black market can emerge. Goods would be sold at a higher price in the black markets than it would in the free markets.
So, black markets can arise as a result of price ceiling and the need of producers to earn higher profits
b. During the war, when there was a rationing of meat. Farmers declared less animal births to authorities and sold the undeclared livestock in the black market.
Also, in less developed countries e.g. Nigeria, when there is scarcity of fuel. Black markets arise where fuel are sold for higher prices
Explanation:
Suppose that real GDP grew more in Country A than in Country B last year.
a. Country A must have a higher standard of living than country B.
b. Country A's worker productivity must have grown faster than country B's.
c. Both of the above are correct.
d. None of the above are correct.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
Nominal GDP is GDP calculated using current year prices while Real GDP is GDP calculated using base year prices. Real GDP has been adjusted for inflation.
The standard of living is calculated as real GDP / population. Even though the real GDP of country A grew faster than country B, country A's population might be higher than country B's making its standard of living lower.
To make a conclusion that the growth of country A's worker productivity grew faster, it must be assumed that population grew at the same rate in both countries
A project that will last for 10 years is expected to have equal annual cash flows of $103,900. If the required return is 8.4 percent, what maximum initial investment would make the project acceptable? Multiple Choice $638,392.96 $595,833.43 $1,534,047.75 $655,213.49 $684,772.10
Answer:
PV= $684,772.1
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A project that will last for 10 years is expected to have equal annual cash flows of $103,900. If the required return is 8.4 percent.
First, we need to calculate the future value of the cash flows:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual cash flow
FV= {103,900*[(1.084^10) - 1]} / 0.084
FV= $1,534,047.75
Now, we can determine the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 1,534,047.75 / (1.084^10)
PV= $684,772.1
Rust Pipe Co. was established in 1994. Four years later the company went public. At that time, Robert Rust, the original owner, decided to establish two classes of stock. The first represents Class A founders' stock and is entitled to twelve votes per share. The normally traded common stock, designated as Class B, is entitled to one vote per share. In late 2010, Mr. Stone, an investor, was considering purchasing shares in Rust Pipe Co. While he knew the existence of founders’ shares were not often present in other companies, he decided to buy the shares anyway because of a new technology Rust Pipe had developed to improve the flow of liquids through pipes. Of the 1,900,000 total shares currently outstanding, the original founder's family owns 52,725 shares. What is the percentage of the founder's family votes to Class B votes? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
34.25%
Explanation:
Votes per share = 12
Shares owned = 52725
Now we are to calculate the total value of the total number of of votes
Total votes = votes per share * shares owned
= 12*52725
Total = 632700
Value of votes of class B
Total shares outstanding - founders family shares
= 1900000 - 52725
= 1847275
The question requires us to calculate percentage of the founder's family votes to Class B votes
632700/1847275
= 0.3425
= 34.25%

If the average propensity to consume is 0.75, and the marginal propensity to consume is 0.70, if income rises by $4,000, consumption will increase by _____. (Remember when we use APC versus MPC. Use only one for this question).
Answer:
$2,800
Explanation:
The computation of the increase in consumption is shown below:
= Marginal propensity to consume × rise in income
= 0.70 × $4,000
= $2,800
Hence, the consumption would be increased by $2,800
We simply applied the above formula i.e. marginal propensity to consume is multiplied with the rise in income so that the correct answer could come

Crane Company identifies three activities in its manufacturing process: machine setups, machining, and inspections. Estimated annual overhead cost for each activity is $140,000, $240,000, and $54,000, respectively. The cost driver for each activity and the estimated annual usage are number of setups 2,000, machine hours 24,000, and number of inspections 1,200. Compute the overhead rate for each activity. Machine setups $ per setup Machining $ per machine hour Inspections $ per inspection
Answer:
1. $70 per set up
2. $10 per machine hour
3. $45 per inspection
Explanation:
With regards to the above,
Compute the overhead rate for
1. Machine set ups
= Estimated annual overhead cost / Estimated annual Number of setups
Estimated annual overhead costs = $140,000
Estimated annual Number of setups = 2,000
= $140,000 / 2,000
= $70 per set up
2. Machining
= Estimated annual overhead costs / Estimated annual Machine hours
Estimated annual overhead costs = $240,000
Estimated annual Machine hours = 24,000
= $240,000 / 24,000
= $10 per machine hours
3. Inspection
= Estimated annual overhead costs / Estimated annual number of inspections
Estimated annual overhead costs = $54,000
Estimated annual number of inspections = 1,200
= $54,000 / 1,200
= $45 per inspection

All against Common Sense. Back in mid 80s, the US economy was very bad. It was much worse than it is now. At that time, to the surprise of many people, US automakers raised the prices of their cars. The common sense says that when the sales are slow, we lower prices and offer better deals to customers. Why do you think that the US car manufacturers increase the prices?
Answer:
Explanation:
This most likely happened because in the 80's the economy was so bad that even by lowering their prices the middle-class families would still not be able to afford to buy a car. The only individuals able to afford a car would be those who are wealthy. Therefore, by increasing prices and targetting wealthy individuals, the US car manufacturers could become profitable with much fewer sales and prevent the manufacturing plant from going under. Since wealthy individuals would not mind much the increased prices because they can still afford it without making much of a dent in their wealth.
