This data tells an economist that:________. a. the Macro Islands have an absolute advantage in producing fishing boats and the Micro Islands have an absolute advantage in producing guava jelly. b. the Micro Islands have an absolute advantage in producing fishing boats and the Macro Islands have an absolute advantage in producing guava jelly. c. the Macro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing fishing boats and the Micro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing guava jelly. d. the Micro Islands have a comparative in producing fishing boats and the Macro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing guava jelly. the Micro Islands have a comparative and absolute advantage in producing fishing boats.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is the option C: the Macro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing fishing boats and the Micro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing guava jelly.

Explanation:

To begin with the term of ''comparative advantage'' is refer to the quality of one country in comparison with another to produce in a better way, a more eficient way, a good. Therefore that when a country has a comparative advantage over another country it means that the first country can produce more of a good with less resources that the second country.

That is why, that the Macro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing fishing boats over the Micro islands due to the fact that there is a very little difference with the other country meanwhile the Micro Islands have a comparative advatange in the production of guava jelly due to the amount of goods that it can produce in the same amount of time with the great amount difference in comparison with the Macro Islands. Therefore that one country chooses to produce the good in which it is better in comparison with the other.

4. Will the bond proceeds always be less than the face amount of the bonds when the contract rate is less than the market rate of interest?

Yes, when the bond's interest rate is lower than the market rate, the bonds will be sold at a discount (less than face value). The market rate applicable to this bond issuance is the one used for similar bonds, so the market rate can change depending on the bond.

5. Compute the price of $37,282,062 received for the bonds by using the present value tables

the value of the bonds = PV of face value + PV of coupons

PV of face value = $40,000,000 / (1 + 4%)²⁰ = $18,255,478PV of annuity = $1,400,000 x PV annuity 4% for 20 periods = $1,400,000 x 13.59033 = $19,026,462

total value = $18,255,478 + $19,026,462 = $37,281,940

There is a small difference, $122, due to rounding errors from the annuity table. But the error is not significant, it represents only 0.0003% of the bonds' price.

Explanation:

issued $40,000,000 of 10-year, 7% bonds at a market (effective) interest rate of 8%, receiving cash of $37,282,062

coupon payment = $40,000,000 x 7% x 1/2 = $1,400,000

semiannual coupon paid December 31 and June 30

Discount on bonds payable $2,717,938 / 20 coupons = $135,896.90 ≈ $135,897 per coupon payment

How much is​ interest?

Answers

Answer:

a)

Balance of account at retirement = $237,281.83

b)

Total Deposited amount = $38,500

Interest Amount = $198,781.83

Explanation:

A fix periodic payments for the specific period of time is the annuity payment. Deposit of $1,100 per year in retirement account is annuity payment.

a)

We can calculate the balance of account on retirement by using following formula

Future Value of Annuity = P x ( 1 + r )^n - 1 / r

Where

P = Periodic payments = $1,100

r = 9%

n = 65 years - 30 years = 35 years

Placing values in the formula

Balance of account at retirement = $1,100 X ( 1 + 9% )^35 - 1 / 9%

Balance of account at retirement = $237,281.83

b)

Total Deposited amount = $1,100 x 35 = $38,500

Interest Amount = Balance of account at retirement - Total Deposited amount = $237,281.83 - $38,500 = $198,781.83

Minstrel Manufacturing uses a job order costing system. During one month, Minstrel purchased $201,000 of raw materials on credit; issued materials to production of $198,000 of which $27,000 were indirect. Minstrel incurred a factory payroll of $153,000, of which $37,000 was indirect labor. Minstrel uses a predetermined overhead application rate of 150% of direct labor cost. If Minstrel incurred total overhead costs of $180,000 during the month, compute the amount of under- or overapplied overhead:

Answers

Answer:

Underapplied overhead=  $6,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct labor= $153,000 - $37,000= $116,000

The predetermined overhead application rate= 150% of direct labor cost.

Actual overhead= $180,000

First, we need to allocate overhead:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 116,000*1.5= $174,000

Now, we can calculate the over/under allocation:

Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead

Under/over applied overhead= 180,000 - 174,000

Under/over applied overhead=  $6,000 underallocated

Boren Company reported the following information for the current year: Sales (625 units) $37,800, direct materials and direct labor $14,600, other variable costs $13,200, and fixed costs $6,000. "What is the company's break-even point in units?"

Answers

Answer:

Break-even point in units= 375 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales (625 units) $37,800

direct materials and direct labor $14,600

other variable costs $13,200

fixed costs $6,000.

To calculate the break-even points in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Unitary selling price= 37,800/625= $60.48

Unitary varaible cost= (13,200 + 14,600)/625= $44.48

Break-even point in units= 6,000/ (60.48 - 44.48)

Break-even point in units= 375 units

Elaborate on two instances at the workplace where "silence is golden " may be applicable.

Answers

Answer:

"Silence is golden" teaches that it is not everytime that somebody must say something.  At times, it is better to keep quiet and listen to others and the environment instead of talking meaninglessly.

At the workplace, it is better to apply this "silence is golden" rule instead of asking or making unrelated questions or comments.  Relevance is important in communication.  Off-handed revelations can be offsetting and can damage one's character, if left unchecked.  If you want to ask a question in any situation, please ensure that the question is related to the topic under discussion.  If you want to make a comment during departmental meetings, first make the comment in your head and evaluate its relevance to the subject being discussed.  After your evaluation, you may discover it was not necessary to ask the question or make the comment, then withdraw it.  Do not fall into the habit of asking irrelevant questions or making unnecessary comments because you want your voice to be heard.  We learn more from listening to others than from talking.

Another instance were "silence is golden" is when you are under emotions.  Hold yourself in check at such moments and do not allow yourself to ask questions or make comments that will hurt the feelings of those around you.  Some people are sentimental and will not appreciate nor excuse such remarks.  Hold your tongue.  Cry if you must, but do not voice out your emotions without control.  People do not easily forget such remarks even though they realize that you were emotionally charged.  Let your peace reign in your heart.

Explanation:

A workplace is not the most appropriate place to voice out some thoughts.  You must recognize your purpose of being there in the first instance: to work and earn a living.  So, simply do that.  Do not be known as a talkative.

Units started into production during the year totaled 150,000 units. A total of 140,000 units were completed during the year. The ending work in process, 25% complete, was comprised of 20,000 units. What was the number of equivalent units using the FIFO method

Answers

Answer:

Equivalent units= 145,000 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The beginning work in process, 70% complete, was comprised of 10,000 units. Units started into production during the year totaled 150,000 units. A total of 140,000 units were completed during the year. The ending work in process, 25% complete, was comprised of 20,000 units.

We need to use the following structure:

Beginning work in process = beginning inventory* %incompleted

Units started and completed = units completed - beginning WIP

Ending work in process completed= Ending WIP* %completed

=Number of equivalent units

Beginning work in process = 10,000*0.3= 3,000

Units started and completed = 140,000 - 3,000= 137,000

Ending work in process completed= 20,000*0.25= 5,000

=145,000 units

Answers

Answer:

Gwinnett's profits for the year will decrease by $1,000

Explanation:

total costs for normal 14,000 cases:

Variable manufacturing cost $294,000 / 14,000 = $21 per caseFixed manufacturing cost $56,000 Variable selling and administrative cost $42,000 Fixed selling and administrative cost $38,000total = $430,000

the incremental revenue of selling 1,000 cases to the school district = $23 x 1,000 = $23,000

the incremental costs for producing and selling 1,000 more cases:

variable manufacturing costs = $21 x 1,000 = $21,000variable S&A costs = $3 x 1,000 = $3,000total incremental costs = $24,000

incremental revenue - total incremental costs = $23,000 - $24,000 = -$1,000

Answer:

Effect on income= $1,000 decrease

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Unitary variable costs:

Variable manufacturing cost= $294,000/14,000= $21

Variable selling and administrative= $42,000/14,000= $3

Special offer= 1,000 units for $23

Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will not take into account the fixed costs:

Effect on income= 1,000*(23 - 24)= $1,000 decrease

Nick’s Novelties, Inc., is considering the purchase of new electronic games to place in its amusement houses. The games would cost a total of $592,000, have an fifteen-year useful life, and have a total salvage value of $59,200. The company estimates that annual revenues and expenses associated with the games would be as follows: Revenues $ 300,000 Less operating expenses: Commissions to amusement houses $ 70,000 Insurance 66,000 Depreciation 35,520 Maintenance 90,000 261,520 Net operating income $ 38,480
Required:
1a. Compute the pay back period associated with the new electronic games.
1b. Assume that Nick’s Novelties, Inc., will not purchase new games unless they provide a payback period of five years or less. Would the company purchase the new games?
No
Yes
2a. Compute the simple rate of return promised by the games. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place. i.e. 0.123 should be considered as 12.3%.)
2b. If the company requires a simple rate of return of at least 8%, will the games be purchased?
No
Yes

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

1a. The computation of the payback period is shown below:

Payback period = Initial investment ÷ Cash inflow

where,

Initial investment is $592,000

And, the cash flow is

= Depreciation expense + net operating income

= $35,520 + $38,480

= $74,000

So, the payback period is

= $592,000 ÷ $74,000

= 8 years

1b. As we can see that the payback period is of 8 years but the given payback period is 5 years so the company should not purchased the new games

2a. The computation of the simple rate of return is shown below:

Payback period =  Net operating income ÷ Initial investment

                           = $38,480 ÷  $592,000

                           = 6.5%

2b. As we can see that the simple rate of return is 6.5% but the given simple rate of return is minimum 8% so the company should not purchased the new games

The calculation is as follows:

1a. The computation of the payback period is given below:

Payback period = Initial investment ÷ Cash inflow

Here,

Initial investment is $592,000

And, the cash flow is

= Depreciation expense + net operating income

= $35,520 + $38,480

= $74,000

Thus , the payback period is

= $592,000 ÷ $74,000

= 8 years

1b. Since the payback period is of 8 years but the given payback period is 5 years due to this the company should not purchased the new games.

2a. The calculation of the simple rate of return is given below:  

Payback period =  Net operating income ÷ Initial investment  

                          = $38,480 ÷  $592,000  

                          = 6.5%

2b. Since the simple rate of return is 6.5% but the given simple rate of return is minimum 8% due to this the company should not purchased the new games.

Bergstrom accepted the return of merchandise by a customer. The merchandise had been sold on account, and payment had not been received on the date of return. The returned goods retailed for $400, but cost Bergstrom only $300. The appropriate journal entry for Bergstrom is:

Answers

Answer:

Debit Sales Return and allowances $400

Credit Accounts receivable $400

Explanation:

In the given scenario the sale was made on account. That means that no money was collected for the transaction.

So we do not consider the $300 it would cost Bergstrom.

When a good is sold on account, the accounts receivable is debited for the sale amount ($400). As the customer pays the money owed the account is credited to balance it up.

In this case however the good is being returned. So we will debit the Sales Return and Allowance account to recognise the returned item.

Accounts receivable is credited to remove the credit sale since the product has been returned.

You just won the $87 million Ultimate Lotto jackpot. Your winnings will be paid as $2,900,000 per year for the next 30 years. If the appropriate interest rate is 6.2 percent, what is the value of your windfall

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

In order to calculate the value of your windfall we would have to calculate the following formula:

Value of windall=P×[1-(1÷(1+r)^n)]÷r

According to the given data we have the following:

Interest rate per annum=6.20%

Number of years=  30

Number of compoundings per per annum=1

Payment per period (P)=$2,900,000

Therefore, Value of windall=$2,900,000×(1-(1÷(1+6.2%)^30))÷6.2%

Value of windall=$39,078,091.71

The value of your windfall is $39,078,091.71

Arthur sustained an injury to his back. Arthur claimed the injury was suffered at work and filed a claim for workers' compensation benefits. The employer opposed this claim, saying the injury, if real, was the result of a congenital condition. In accordance with the statute, a hearing was held before the Workers' Compensation Board, which ruled against Arthur. Arthur became disgusted with the hearing officer and the proceedings because Arthur felt that the hearing officer did not like him. Arthur has consulted an attorney seeking to sue for workers' compensation benefits. An appeal is available within the agency, but Arthur wants to go directly to court because he feels that the agency appeal would be useless. Discuss the merits of this strategy.

Answers

Answer: Arthur can't bring a lawsuit to help overturn the ruling of the Worker’s Compensation Board,

Explanation:

From the question, Arthur got a back injury and Arthur claimed that the injury was suffered at work and therefore filed a claim for workers compensation benefits while the employer opposed this claim, by saying that the injury was due to a congenital condition.

A hearing was held before the Workers' Compensation Board, and the board ruled against Arthur. Arthur became disgusted and wants to go directly to the court because as he feels an agency isn't worth it.

The merits of this strategy are that

Arthur can't bring a lawsuit in order to help overturn the findings the Worker’s Compensation Board made, because Arthur failed to exhaust the available administrative remedies he had. Therefore, the lawsuit will not be successful and would therefore not be heard by the courts.

Kansas Enterprises purchased equipment for $76,000 on January 1, 2021. The equipment is expected to have a ten-year service life, with a residual value of $7,200 at the end of ten years. Using the straight-line method, depreciation expense for 2021 would be:

Answers

Answer:

The depreciation expense for 2021 would be: $6,880

Explanation:

Straight line method charges a fixed depreciation charge over the life of asset.

Depreciation Charge = (Cost - Residual Value) / Number of Estimated Useful life

                                   = ($76,000 - $7,200) / 10

                                   = $6,880

The amount of depreciation is charged at fixed amount of $6,880 for each of the years that this asset is in use in the business.

Conclusion :

The depreciation expense for 2021 would be: $6,880

Management of Mittel Rhein AG of Köln, Germany, would like to reduce the amount of time between when a customer places an order and when the order is shipped. For the first quarter of operations during the current year the following data were reported: Inspection time 0.3 days Wait time (from order to start of production) 14.0 days Process time 2.7 days Move time 1.0 days Queue time 5.0 days
1.Compute the throughput time.
2. Compute the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for the quarter. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
3. What percentage of the throughput time was spent in non–value-added activities? (Enter your answer as a percentage (i.e., 0.12 should be entered as 12).)
4.Compute the delivery cycle time.
5. If by using Lean Production all queue time during production is eliminated, what will be the new MCE? (Round your percentage answer to 1 decimal place (i.e., 0.123 should be entered as 12.3).)

Answers

Answer:

1. The throughput time is 9 days

2. The MCE is 0.30

3. 70% of the throughput time was spent on non-value added activities.

4. The delivery cycle time is 23 days

5. The New MCE is 67.5%

Explanation:

1. To calculate the throughput time we would have to use to make the following calculation:

throughput time=process time+inspection time+movie time+queue time

throughput time=2.7+0.3+1+5

throughput time=9 days

2. To calculate the MCE we would have to use to make the following calculation:

MCE=value added time/throughput time

MCE=2.7/9=0.30

3. MCE is 30% which means that out of the total throughput time, time spent on value added activities was 30%. Thus it means that 70% of the throughput time was spent on non-value added activities.

4. To calculate the delivery cycle time we would have to use to make the following calculation:

delivery cycle time=wait time+throughput time

delivery cycle time=14+9=23 days

5. To calculate the new MCE we would have to use to make the following calculation:

New MCE=value added time/throughput time

New MCE=2.7/4

New MCE=67.5%

1. Based on the information given the throughput time is 9 days.

2. The manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for the quarter is 30%.

3.  The percentage of the throughput time is 70%.

4. The delivery cycle time is 23 days.

5. The New MCE is 68%.

1. Throughput time

Throughput time = Process time + Inspection time + Move time + Queue time

Throughput time= 2.7 +0.3+ 1.0 + 5.0

Throughput time=9 days

2. Manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE)

Manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) = Value-added time / Throughput time

Manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) = 2.7 /9

Manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE)=30%

 

3. Non-value-added activities

Non-value-added activities  = 100% - 30%

Non-value-added activities = 70%

4. Delivery cycle time

Delivery cycle time = Wait time + throughput time

Delivery cycle time = 14.0 + 9.0

Delivery cycle time = 23 days

5. New MCE

New MCE = Value-added time / Throughput time

New MCE=2.7/(0.3+2.7+1.0)

New MCE  2.7 / 4

New MCE =67.5%

New MCE =68% (Approximately)

Answers

Answer:

$460

Explanation:

The following information was reported from Marshall Grocery delivery service report

Labor rate per hour= $20

Rate per hour= $25.80

Materials markup= 23%

Target profit margin= 20%

The material markup for a job that will use 100 labor hours and $2,000 of materials is calculated as follows

Materials markup= Materials × percentage

= $2,000×23/100

= $2,000×0.23

= $460

Hence the materials markup is $460

Piper's Pizza sold baking equipment for $25,000. The equipment was originally purchased for $72,000, and depreciation through the date of sale totaled $51,000. What was the gain or loss on the sale of the equipment

Answers

Answer:

The gain on disposal is of $4000

Explanation:

To calculate the gain or loss on disposal, we first need to calculate the Carrying value, also known as the Net Book Value, of the asset at the time of sale. The Carrying value is calculated using the following formula,

Carrying Value or NBV = Cost - Accumulated depreciation

Carrying Value or NBV = 72000 - 51000  

Carrying Value or NBV = $21000

If the asset is sold for more than its carrying value, there is a gain on disposal. If it is sold for less than its carrying value, there is a loss on disposal.

As the asset was sold for $25000 which is more than its carrying value of $21000, there is a gain on disposal.

Gain on disposal = 25000 - 21000   = $4000 Gain

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales $382,500 (units 5,100 $75 per unit)

variable costs $245,000 (48.04 per unit)

fixed costs $98,000.

Option 1:

Increase selling price by 16%.

New selling price= 75*1.16= 87

Sales= 5,100*87= 443,700

variable costs= (245,000)

fixed costs= (98,000)

Net income= 100,700

2. Reduce variable costs to 59% of sales.
