Consider two neighboring island countries called Arcadia and Dolorium. They each have 4 million labor hours available per week that they can use to produce jeans, corn, or a combination of both. The following table shows the amount of jeans or corn that can be produced using 1 hour of labor.
Country Jeans (Pairs per hour of labor) Corn(Bushels per hour of labor)
Arcadia 5 10
Dolorium 4 16
Initially, suppose Arcadia uses 1 million hours of labor per month to produce corn and 3 million hours per month to produce jeans, while Dolorium uses 3 million hours of labor per month to produce corn and 1 million hours per month to produce jeans. Consequently, Arcadia produces 8 million bushels of corn and 48 million pairs of jeans, and Dolorium produces 15 million bushels of corn and 20 million pairs of jeans. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade goods, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consumes the amount of corn and jeans it produces.
Arcadia's opportunity cost of producing 1 pair of jeans is _____ of corn, and Dolorium's opportunity cost of producing 1 pair of jeans is _____ of corn. Therefore, ____ has a comparative advantage in the production of jeans, and ____ has a comparative advantage in the production of corn.
Answer:
Arcadia's opportunity cost of producing 1 pair of jeans is 2 bushels of corn, and Dolorium's opportunity cost of producing 1 pair of jeans is 4 bushels of corn. Therefore, Arcadia has a comparative advantage in the production of jeans, and Dolorium has a comparative advantage in the production of corn.
Explanation:
maximum production
jeans corn
Arcadia 20 40
Dolorium 16 64
initial production
jeans corn
Arcadia 15 10
Dolorium 4 48
Arcadia's opportunity costs:
jeans = 40 / 20 = 2 bushels of corn
corn = 20 / 40 = 0.5 pairs of jeans
Dolorium's opportunity costs:
jeans = 64 / 16 = 4 bushels of corn
corn = 16 / 64 = 0.25 pairs of jeans

Cynthia Co. exchanged Building 24 which has an appraised value of $4,800,000, a cost of $7,600,000, and accumulated depreciation of $3,619,000 for Building M belonging to Waterway Co. Building M has an appraised value of $4,560,000, a cost of $9,096,000, and accumulated depreciation of $4,747,000. The correct amount of cash was also paid. Assume depreciation has already been updated.
Prepare the entries on both companies' books assuming the exchange had no commercial substance.
Answer:
See the journal entries below.
Explanation:
In the Book of Cynthia Co.
Book value of Building 24 = Cost of Building 24 - Accumulated depreciation of Building 24 = $7,600,000 - $3,619,000 = $3,981,000
Gain on disposal of Building 24 = Building 24 an appraised value of - Book value of Building 24 = $4,800,000 - $3,981,000 = $819,000
Basis for Building M = Building M appraisal value - Gain on disposal of Building 24 = $4,560,000 - $819,000 = $3,741,000
Cash = Accumulated Depreciation of Building 24 + Basis for Building M - Cost of Building 24 - Gain on Disposal of Building 24 = $3,619,000 + $3,741,000 - 7,600,000 - $819,000 = $1,059,000
The journal entries will look as follows:
Accounts Title Debit ($) Credit ($)
Accumulated Depreciation 3,619,000
Building M 3,741,000
Cash 1,059,000
Building 24 7,600,000
Gain on Disposal 819,000
To record the exchange of Building 24 for Building M from Waterway Co.
In the Book of Waterway Co.
Building 24 = Building M cost + Cash - Building M depreciation = $9,096,000 + $1,059,000 - $4,747,000 = $5,408,000
The journal entries will look as follows:
Accounts Title Debit ($) Credit ($)

KB Homes is a nationwide home builder that develops entire communities of dozens and even hundreds of homes, in addition to, building custom homes for individual customers. While a Job Costing system is appropriate for the custom home building, their new controller is planning on using a Process Costing system for the large developments. She argues that because even large developments of 100 homes only offer three or four different floor plans and thus would be more efficient for tracking costs because of the homogeneity. Do you agree or disagree? Why?
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Yes, I do agree.
Reasoning:
The Argument of the new supervisors in favor of applying the technological calculation to large projects which have homogeneous buildings with 3-4 different floor plans is correct. There are no settings for buildings / dwellings with the same layout and all units go through the same processes and use the same funds. For major developments of a homogeneous nature, instead of creating works to make for each unit and cost collection separately for each unit, a process that costs each floor a plan as a separate product will be much easier and more efficient for control purposes.
This procedure will also provide important data, and reintroduction and monitoring will be much easier.
Creating individual work, so that it is only more difficult to follow a work order, costs and to monitor a large number of work orders at a given moment, which can easily be avoided by adopting a process that costs money.
Therefore, the arguments put forward by the new controller are quite acceptable.

If you calculate GDP by adding together the final demands of consumers, business firms, the government, and foreigners (i.e., using the expenditure approach), GDP for this economy is ________$ billion. Given this information, the statistical discrepancy between national income and net national product, obtained when GDP is measured using the expenditure approach, is________ $ billion.
Answer:
A. $16,041 billion
B. $33 billion
Explanation:
A. Calculation to Determine what GDP for this economy is using the expenditure approach
Using this formula
GDP by expenditure method=C+I+G+X-M
Let plug in the formula
GDP by expenditure method= 6,300+2,300+4,521+3,120-200
GDP by expenditure method=$16,041 billions
Therefore GDP for this economy is $16,041 billion
B. Calculation to determine the statistical discrepancy.
First step is to calculate GDP at MP by income method
GDP at MP by income method=8,174+365+903+1,895+1,343+1,987+1,341
GDP at MP by income method=$16,008 billions
Now let calculate the Statistical discrepancy using this formula
Statistical discrepancy= GDP by expenditure method - GDP by income method
Let plug in the formula
Statistical discrepancy=$16,008-$16,041
Statistical discrepancy=$33 billions
Therefore the statistical discrepancy between national income and net national product, obtained when GDP is measured using the expenditure approach is $33 billion.

An engineering student has just finished the freshman year and has received an offer of $20,000 per year in a full-time job. with prospects of salary increasing 3 % per year until retirement after 33 years. If employment is taken, the student will likely not finish his engineering degree. Tuition and other costs are $10,000 next year, increasing at 7% per year. A starting salary of $45.000 could be expected upon graduation from the fouryear program. Salary increases in the engineering job are estimated at 4% per year until retirement after 30 years.
Required:
On the basis of economics alone, should the student take the job now or finish college? Analyze as two mutually exclusive alternatives and solve with present worth analysis. Interest rate is 7%.
Answer:
Since the $860,886.33 which is the present worth of net salary if he finishes his engineering degree is greater than the $357,788.81 which is the present worth of net salary if he does NOT finish his engineering degree, the student should finish college.
Explanation:
This can be dermined based on the following 3 steps:
Step 1: Calculation of present worth of net salary if he does NOT finish his engineering degree
This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present worth (PW) of a growing annuity as follows:
PWN = (P / (r - g)) * (1 - ((1 + g) / (1 + r))^n) .................... (1)
Where;
PWN = present worth of net salary if he does NOT finish his engineering degree = ?
P = Annual salary = $20,000
r = interest rate per year = 7%, or 0.07
g = growth rate of salary = 3% or 0.03
n = number of years = 33
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
PWN = ($20,000 / (0.07 - 0.03)) * (1 - ((1 + 0.03) / (1 + 0.07))^33)
PWN = $357,788.81
Step 2: Calculation of present worth net salary if he finishes his engineering degree
Calculation of the present worth of tuition and other costs
This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present worth (PW) of a growing annuity as follows:
PWT = (P / (r - g)) * (1 - ((1 + g) / (1 + r))^n) .................... (2)
Where;
PWT = present worth tuition and other costs = ?
P = Tuition and other costs next year = $10,000
r = interest rate per year = 7%, or 0.07
g = growth rate of tuition and other costs = 7% or 0.07
n = number of years = Number of years for engineering degree - One year already spent = 4 - 1 = 3
Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:
PWT = (10,000 / (0.07 - 0.07)) * (1 - ((1 + 0.07) / (1 + 0.07))^3)
PWT = undefined or 0
Note: The PWT is undefined because r = g here. Therefore, it should not be considered in the further analysis.
Calculation of the present worth of salary after graduation
This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present worth (PW) of a growing annuity as follows:
PWG = (P / (r - g)) * (1 - ((1 + g) / (1 + r))^n) .................... (3)
Where;
PWG = present worth of salary after graduation = ?
P = Starting salary = $45,000
r = interest rate per year = 7%, or 0.07
g = growth rate of salary = 4% or 0.04
n = number of years = 30
Substituting the values into equation (3), we have:
PWG = ($45,000 / (0.07 - 0.04)) * (1 - ((1 + 0.04) / (1 + 0.07))^30)
PWG = $860,886.33
Step 3: Decision
Present worth of net salary if he does NOT finish his engineering degree = $357,788.81
Present worth of net salary if he finishes his engineering degree = present worth of salary after graduation = $860,886.33
Since the $860,886.33 which is the present worth of net salary if he finishes his engineering degree is greater than the $357,788.81 which is the present worth of net salary if he does NOT finish his engineering degree, the student should finish college.
Why is prioritization an important skill to practice as a student?
Prioritization allows us to make decisions about what is important so we can know what to focus on and what's not as important. Being able to discern tasks that are necessary from those that we should do is crucial. Prioritization is a critical skill to have, but can take some practice to achieve.
White Company has two departments, Cutting and Finishing. The company uses a job-order costing system and computes a predetermined overhead rate in each department. The Cutting Department bases its rate on machine-hours, and the Finishing Department bases its rate on direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates:
Cutting Finishing
Direct labor-hours . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6,000 30,000

Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour . . . . . . ....$2.00 ______
Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour . . . . . _____ $4.00
Required:
Compute the predetermined overhead rate to be used in each department.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:
For Cutting department
= Variable manufacturing overhead per machine hour + (Total fixed manufacturing overhead ÷ machine hours)
= $2 + ($264,000 ÷ 48,000)
= $2 + $5.50
= $7.50
For finishing department
= Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labour + (Total fixed manufacturing overhead ÷ direct labor hours)
= $4 + ($366,000 ÷ 30,000)
= $4 + $12.20
= $16.20

Jill Angel holds a $200,000 portfolio consisting of the following stocks. The portfolio's beta is 0.88. Stock Investment Beta A $50,000 0.50 B $50,000 0.80 C $50,000 1.00 D $50,000 1.20 Total $200,000 If Jill replaces Stock A with another stock, E, which has a beta of 1.45, what will the portfolio's new beta be
Answer:
1.11
Explanation:
Calculation for what will the portfolio's new beta be
First step is to Calculate the weight of each investment
Stock E $ 50,000 / $ 2,00,000
Stock E= 0.25
Stock B $ 50,000 / $ 2,00,000
Stock B= 0.25
Stock C $ 50,000 / $ 2,00,000
Stock C = 0.25
Stock D $ 50,000 / $ 2,00,000
Stock D = 0.25
Now let calculate the portfolio new beta
Weight Beta
Stock E 0.25* 1.45 = 0.36
Stock B 0.25 * 0.80 = 0.20
Stock C 0.25* 1.00 = 0.25
Stock D 0.25 * 1.20 = 0.30
Total 1.11
(0.36+0.20+0.25+0.30)
Therefore portfolio's new beta will be 1.11
Stanislaw Timber Company owns 9,000 acres of timberland purchased in 2009 at a cost of $1,400 per acre. At the time of purchase, the land without the timber was valued at $400 per acre. In 2010, Stanislaw built fire lanes and roads, with a life of 30 years, at a cost of $84,000. Every year, Stanislaw sprays to prevent disease at a cost of $3,000 per year and spends $7,000 to maintain the fire lanes and roads. During 2011, Stanislaw selectively logged and sold 700,000 board feet of timber, of the estimated 3,500,000 board feet. In 2012, Stanislaw planted new seedlings to replace the trees cut at a cost of $100,000.
Instructions
a. Determine the depreciation expense and the cost of timber sold related to depletion for 2011.
b. Stanislaw has not logged since 2011. If Stanislaw logged and sold 900,000 board feet of timber in 2022, when the timber cruise (appraiser) estimated 5,000,000 board feet, determine the cost of timber sold related to depletion for 2022.
Answer:
a. Depreciation expense = Cost/Life = $84,000/30 = $2,800 per year
b. Cost of timber sold = Per arce - Land value = $1,400 - $400 = $1,000
Timber value = Cost of timber sold * Acre = $1,000 * 9,000 acres = $9,000,000
Land value = Timber value/Estimated Board feet * Sold Board feet = 9,000,000/3,500,000 * 700,000 = $1,800,000
Total Cost of timber sold = Timber value - Land value = $9,000,000 - $1,800,000 = $7,200,000
Depletion = Timber value * [Total Cost of timber sold+Replacement cost/Estimated Board feet]
Depletion = $900,000 * $7,200,000+$100,000/5,000,000
Depletion = $900,000 * 1.46
Depletion = $1,314,000

February 31,000 $585
March 34,000 $610
Required:
What is the fixed portion of Jacob's maintenance expense, rounded to the nearest dollar?
a. $283
b. $327
c. $258
d. $541
Answer:
b. $327
Explanation:
The computation of the fixed portion is shown below:
But before that variable maintenance expense per direct labor is
= ($610 - $585) ÷ (34000 hours - 31000 hours)
= $0.00833 per direct labor hour
Now
Total variable expense for 34,000 hours is
= $0.00833 × 34000
= $283
And, finally Fixed portion is
= $610 - $283
= $327
Consider how health insurance affects the quantity of health care services performed. Suppose that the typical medical procedure has a cost of $100, yet a person with health insurance pays only $20 out of pocket. Her insurance company pays the remaining $80. (The insurance company recoups the $80 through premiums, but the premium a person pays does not depend on how many procedures that person chooses to undergo.) Consider the following demand curve in the market for medical care.
1. Based on the given demand and supply, the given transportation problem is
________?
2. Before finding the initial solution, a dummy_____________ should be introduced.?
3. The total cost of the optimal solution =____________?
Answer:
hello your question has some missing part attached below is the missing demand curve
Answer :
1) the quantity of health procedures Individuals will demand is greater than the optimal quantity ( 20 procedures )
2) quantity of medical procedure
3) $200
Explanation:
1) Based on the given demand and supply, the given transportation problem is the quantity of health procedures Individuals will demand is greater than the optimal quantity ( 20 procedures )
2) A dummy quantity of medical procedure should be introduced
3) Total cost of optimal solution
optimal quantity of medical procedure ( Qd) * price of medical procedure(Qp)
= 20 * 100
= $200
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) can be defined as: I. The sum of all incomes while adjusting for indirect business taxes and foreign incomes. II. The market value of goods and services sold in an economy in some time period. III. The total market value of final goods and services produced in an economy in some time period. III only I and II only I, II and III II and III only I and III only
Answer:
I and III only
Explanation:
The full form of GDP is Gross domestic product. It is the sum of all the income at the time when the business taxes i.e. indirect and the foreign incomes would be adjusted also it is a sum total of market value of the goods and services i.e. final generated in an economy for a time period
Therefore the I and III statements are true
An article in The Globe and Mail, February 16, 2002, reported that IBM used the $300 million proceeds of a sale of one of its business units to reduce operating expenses in its fourth quarter 2001 income statement. This added about 8 cents per share to its fourth quarter earnings. As a result, IBM beat analysts' forecasts by 1 cent per share.
IBM defended its treatment by claiming that buying and selling businesses is a normal business practice, and that most of the sale proceeds related to intellectual property that it had developed. The article quotes a Merrill Lynch analyst as saying, "Our only concern is that the company could have done more to call out the magnitude of the transaction." According to the article, IBM's share price fell by 4% as a result of this news.
While not mentioned in this article, the SEC opened a preliminary inquiry into IBM's accounting practice, expressing concerns that IBM had let it be known that the reason for its higher operating earnings was tight cost controls, rather than the sale proceeds. This inquiry was subsequently dropped, but the SEC issued a bulletin reminding firms to report gains or losses on asset sales separately from operating costs.
Required
Explain why IBM's share price dropped following the Merrill Lynch analyst's comment and the news of the SEC's preliminary inquiry.
Answer:
The sale of business units are one time events that should not be common. If the only way that IBM can show profit is by selling business divisions, in a very short time it will run out of divisions to sell. A company's intrinsic value is given by its cash flows, especially the operating cash flow.
A firm now operates as a C-Corporation. The firm has earnings before taxes of $433,743 per year and pays out all its net earnings as dividends. The firm has a corporate tax rate is 24 percent. The firm has only one owner who faces a personal income tax rate of 27 percent. What is the spendable income for the owner of the C-Corporation
Answer:
The Spending income for the owner of the C-Corporation is:
= $240,641.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Earnings before taxes = $433,743
Corporate tax rate = 24%
Corporate tax expense = 104,098 ($433,743 * 24%)
Net Earnings after taxes = $329,645
Dividends paid out = $329,645
Retained earnings = $0
Taxable income for the owner of the C-Corporation = $329,645
Income tax rate for the owner of the C-Corporation = 27%
Income tax for the owner of the C-Corporation = $89,004 ($329,645 * 27%)
Spending income for the owner of the C-Corporation = $240,641
b) The owner of this C-Corporation cannot avoid double taxation at the corporate and individual levels. To avoid this, the owner can choose an S-Corporation.
The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $820,000, and it would cost another $17,500 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be sold after 3 years for $604,000. The MACRS rates for the first three years are 0.3333, 0.4445, and 0.1481. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $15,500. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $338,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell's marginal tax rate is 25%. (Ignore the half-year convention for the straight-line method.) Cash outflows, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest dollar.
a. What is the Year 0 net cash flow?
b. What are the net operating cash flows in Years 1, 2, 3?
c. What is the additional Year 3- cash flow (i.e. after tax salvage and the return of working capital)?
d. If the project's cost of capital is 12%, should the machine be purchased?
Answer:
a. What is the Year 0 net cash flow?
-$820,000 - $17,500 - $15,500 = -$853,000
b. What are the net operating cash flows in Years 1, 2, 3?
Operating cash flow year 1 = {[$338,000 - ($837,500 x 1/3)] x (1 - 25%)} + ($837,500 x 1/3) = $323,292
Operating cash flow year 2 = {[$338,000 - ($837,500 x 0.4445)] x (1 - 25%)} + ($837,500 x 0.4445) = $346,567
Operating cash flow year 3 = {[$338,000 - ($837,500 x 0.1481)] x (1 - 25%)} + ($837,500 x 0.1481) = $284,508
c. What is the additional Year 3- cash flow (i.e. after tax salvage and the return of working capital)?
= $62,031 + [($604,000 - $62,031) x 0.75] + $17,500 = $486,008
d. If the project's cost of capital is 12%, should the machine be purchased?
using a financial calculator, NPV = $260,373, so the project should be accepted
Olympic Sports has two issues of debt outstanding. One is a 5% coupon bond with a face value of $33 million, a maturity of 10 years, and a yield to maturity of 6%. The coupons are paid annually. The other bond issue has a maturity of 15 years, with coupons also paid annually, and a coupon rate of 6%. The face value of the issue is $38 million, and the issue sells for 90% of par value. The firm's tax rate is 30%.
a. What is the before-tax cost of debt for Olympic? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
b. What is Olympic's after-tax cost of debt? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below
a. For before tax cost of debt
But before that following calculations need to be determined
For Bond 1:
Face value = $33,000,000
Coupon payment = 0.05 × $33,000,000 = $1,650,000
The Price of the bond is
= Coupon × [ 1 - 1 ÷ ( 1 + r)^n] ÷ r + FV ÷ ( 1 + r)^n
= $1,650,000 × [ 1 - 1 ÷ ( 1 + 0.06)^10] ÷ 0.06 + $33,000,000 ÷ ( 1 + 0.06)^10
= 1,650,000 × 7.360087 + 18,427,027.64
= $30,571,171.196
For Bond 2:
Price = 0.9 × $38,000,000
= $34,200,000
Now
Coupon = 0.06 × $38,000,000
= $2,280,000
Now before tax cost of debt is
Given that
PV -$34,200,000,
FV $38,000,000,
N 15,
PMT $2,280,000
The formula is shown below:
= RATE(NPER,PMT, PV,FV,TYPE)
After applying the above formula, the Before tax cost of debt of bond is 7.1053%
Now
Total market value is
= $34,200,000 + $30,571,171.196
= $64,771,171.19
And,
finally
Before tax cost of debt for olympic is
= ($30,571,171.196 ÷ 64,771,171.19) × 0.06 + ($34,200,000 ÷ 64,771,171.19) × 0.071053
= 0.028319 + 0.037517
= 0.0658 or 6.58%
b)
And,
After tax cost of debt is
= 0.0658× ( 1 - 0.3)
= 0.0461 or 4.61%

2. How is CrudeOil violating its core value of treating oth-
ers with respect? What are some ways it could reincor-m
porate this core value into its organizational culture??
Answer:
1. Describe the organizational culture at CrudeOil. How does it contribute to the current situation?
Jim treated all of the employees with intimidating behavior based on productivity levels and not moral or ethical concepts. His leadership style is coercive and demands immediate compliance. If this style were summed up in one phrase, it would be "Do what I tell you." In my opinion, it should be avoided because it can alienate employees and create a hostile work environment.
2. How is CrudeOil violating its core value of treating others with respect?
What are some ways it could reincorporate this core value into its organizational culture? “The company’s core value is to treat everyone with respect”. Employees and supervisors, in my experiences, often treat colleagues in harsh and unethical manners only as far as the victim allows it to happen. Financial and reputational harm are questionable and unethical behaviors and organizational policies must be clearly established to reincorporate this value into its culture.
3. If Madison cannot report her problems to her immediate supervisor, what are some other ways she can handle the situation?
I would suggest for Madison to seek advice from a trusted professional, such as the HR compliance officer to verify the actions are inappropriate, if so, Madison needs to learn what process is available for voicing her concern to a higher level. Jim’s behavior is clearly unethical, but many of these behaviors are less clear and occur in complex situations. The most complicated situations often involve employees who witness what is, or appears to be, unethical behavior and are unsure how to respond, especially if job security is on the line...
This is some of it
Jim's leadership abilities breached CrudeOil's fundamental value of treating others with respect because he frequently treats coworkers harshly and unethically.
What are the three main uses of crude oil?Petroleum-based products are used to power vehicles, heat buildings, and generate energy. Plastics, polyurethane, solvents, and countless more intermediate and finished commodities are produced by the petrochemical industry, which is a part of the industrial sector.
Jim's activities should therefore be addressed by top management in order to reintegrate this key principle into the organizational culture. Additionally, they could offer a variety of training to their staff, particularly those in higher positions, to inform them on correct management and leadership skills as well as the significance of adhering to the company's code of ethics.

Bassett Corporation has two production departments, Milling and Customizing. The company uses a job-order costing system and computes a predetermined overhead rate in each production department. The Milling Department's predetermined overhead rate is based on machine-hours and the Customizing Department's predetermined overhead rate is based on direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the current year, the company had made the following estimates:
Machining Customizing
Machine-hours 17,000 15,000
Direct labor-hours 3,000 6,000
Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $102,000 $61,200
Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour $1.70
Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour $4.10
During the current month the company started and finished Job T268. The following data were recorded for this job:
Job T268: Machining Customizing
Machine-hours 80 30
Direct labor-hours 30 50
Direct materials $720 $380
Direct labor cost $900 $1,500

a. $6,763.40
b. $7,440.00
c. $4,831.00
d. $1,932.40
Answer:
a. $6,763.40
Explanation:
The computation of the selling price is shown below:
But before that the predetermined overhead rate is
For machining
= ($102000 ÷ 17,000) + $1.70
= $7.7 per machine hour
For fabrication
= ($61200 ÷ 6000) + $4.10
= $14.30 per labour hour
Now the selling price is
Direct material ($720 + $380) $1,100
Direct labor ($900 + $1,500) $2,400
Machining department overhead (7.7 × 80) $616
Fabrication department overhead (50 × 14.3) $715
Total manufacturing cost $4,831
Markup 40% $1,932.40
Selling price $6,763.40
Which of the statements is the best description of inflation? The prices of only consumer goods are increasing. The price of all goods and services have increased proportionately. The price of all goods and services in the economy are increasing. Real GDP is rising. An increase in the overall price level has occurred.
Answer:
An increase in the overall price level has occurred.
Explanation:
Inflation can be defined as the persistent general rise in the price of goods and services in an economy at a specific period of time.
Mathematically, inflation is given by the formula;
Inflation = Nominal interest - Real interest rate
Hence, the best description of inflation is an increase in the overall price level has occurred.
Additionally, economics can be classified into two (2) main categories, namely;
1. Macroeconomics can be defined as the study of behaviors, performance and factors that affect the entire economy. Hence, it focuses on aggregate phenomena such as price level, economic growth, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), inflation, unemployment and national income levels with respect to the central bank, demand or supply shocks, government policies, aggregate spending and savings.
2. Microeconomics can be defined as the study of the effect of price and quantity levels through interactions between individual buyers and sellers in various markets. Simply stated, it focuses on analyzing or evaluating the decisions of consumers (buyers) and those of firms (sellers) such as methods of production, pricing; and the manner in which government policies affect those decisions.
Hence, macroeconomic is a kind of externalities that affects the levels of unemployment, inflation, or growth in the economy as a whole.
