Answer:
E. decreasing marginal benefit.
Explanation:
The law of diminishing marginal utility can be explained as whenever there is rise in the supply of particular goods/services, then the marginal utility falls. Utility in Economics can be regarded as Satisfaction derived from particular goods/services.
Therefore, in the case of the question, point that each glass of lemonade consumed on a hot day brings lower and lower levels of satisfaction is known as the principle
decreasing marginal benefit. Because as the consumption of the lemonade increases, marginal utility gotten from
every added units taken will start reducing like that.
Corporation A has the following returns for the past three years: 7 percent, 13 percent, and 10 percent. Assume each year return had the same probability (weights of 1/3 each). Calculate the expected return
Answer:
10.00%
Explanation:
The expected return is the weighted average of all the returns recorded thus far wherein the probability of each return occurring is used as the weight of each return as shown below:
Expected return=sum of (weight* value of return)
Expected return=(7%*1/3)+(13%*1/3)+(10%*1/3)
Expected return=0.023333333 +0.043333333 +0.033333333
Expected return=10.00%

Answer: $18500
Explanation:
The income from operations for the rail divisions will be calculated thus:
For the rail division,
Sales = $91800
Cost of goods sold = $45500
Direct operating expense = $27800
Income from operations:
= $91800 - $45500 - $27800
= $18500
Hanover Glassware produces crystal serve ware and uses process costing. At the start of May, 2,300 units were in process. During May, 11,000 units were completed and 2,000 units were in process at the end of May. The units in process at the end of May were 80% complete with respect to material and 30% complete with respect to conversion costs. Other information is as follows: Work in process, May 1: Direct material $28,800 Conversion costs 48,000 Costs incurred during May: Direct material $198,000 Conversion costs 242,000 How much is the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials during May?
Answer:
$18.00
Explanation:
First calculate the equivalent units of production with respect for direct materials.
Ending Work In Process (2,000 × 80%) = 1,600
Completed and transferred out (11,000 × 100%) = 11,000
Equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials = 12,600
Then, calculate the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials
Cost per equivalent unit = Total Cost ÷ Total Equivalent Units
= ($28,800 + $198,000) ÷ 12,600
= $18.00
The following account balances were listed on the trial balance of Edgar Company at the end of the period: AccountBalance Accounts Payable$31,600 Cash 49,900 Common Stock 35,000 Equipment 16,000 Land 47,500 Notes Payable 62,500 The company’s trial balance is not in balance and the company’s accountant has determined that the error is in the cash account. What is the correct balance in the cash account?
Answer: $65,600
Explanation:
Debits should equal credits
Debits = Cash + Equipment + Land
= 49,900 + 16,000 + 47,500
= $113,400
Credits = Accounts Payable + Common stock + Notes Payable
= 31,600 + 35,000 + 62,500
= $129,100
The difference will be added to the Cash account where the error is from.
= 49,900 + (129,100 - 113,400)
= $65,600
Roose, Inc. reported revenue of $92 million and incurred total expenses of $84 million. The total expenses included cost of goods sold of $50 million, salaries and other administrative expenses of $9 million, $11 million of interest paid on a building's mortgage, and $14 million of depreciation. Assuming Roose is subject to the interest expense limitation, what amount of interest expense can the business deduct in the current year
Answer:
Roose, Inc.
The business can deduct $9.5 million in the current year.
Explanation:
Revenue = $92 million
Expenses allowed = 73 million ( $84 - $11 million for interest expense)
Adjusted taxable income before interest = $19 million
50% of adjusted taxable income = $9.5 million
Disallowed interest expense in the current year = $1.5 million
The interest expense allowed (deductible) is 50% for 2019 and 2020, as amended by the CARES Act) of the taxpayer's adjusted taxable income.
A bank offers 8.00% on savings accounts. What is the effective annual rate if interest is compounded semi-annually?Percentage Round to: 4 decimal places (Example: 9.2434%, % sign required. Will accept decimal format rounded to 6 decimal places (ex: 0.092434))
Answer:
Effective Annual Rate = 8.1600%
Explanation:
The effective annual rate the interest rate that is adjusted for compounding over a given period of time. It is given by the formula:
[tex]r = (1+\frac{i}{n})^n -1\\where:\\r = effective\ annual\ rate\\i = nominal\ interest\ rate\ = 8.00\% = 0.08 \\n = number\ of\ compounding\ periods\ per\ year\ = 2\ (semi-annually)[/tex]
[tex]r = (1+\frac{0.08}{2})^2 -1\\r = (1\ +\ 0.04)^2 - 1\\r = (1.04)^2 - 1\\r = 1.0816 - 1\\r = 0.0816\\r = 8.1600 \%[/tex]

The maintenance expense (paid at the end of the year) on a machine, with 6 years of useful life, is expected to be (in constant dollars of year 0) $5,000 during the first year and to increase (in constant dollars) $500 each year for the following five years. The average inflation rate for the next 6 years is calculated to be 3%. What is the equivalent equal annual maintenance cost (in actual dollars) for the machinery if the interest rate is 8%
Answer: $1387.5
Explanation:
Given data:
Useful life of the machine = 6years
Inflation for the 6years period = 3%
Interest rate = 8%.
Cost of maintenance = $5000
Yearly increments = $500 for five years.
Solution:
Total cost of maintenance for five years
= cost of maintenance + yearly increments x 5
= $5000 + $500(5)
= $5000 + $2500
= $7500.
Interest rate on the machinery = 8%
= 0.08 x $7500
= $600
Inflation rate
= 0.03 x 7500
= $225
Equal yearly maintenance cost
= $7500 + $600 + $225/ 6
= $8325/6
= $1387.5
M Corp. has an employee benefit plan for compensated absences that gives each employee 15 paid vacation days. Vacation days can be carried over indefinitely. Employees can elect to receive payment in lieu of vacation days. At December 31, 2021, M's unadjusted balance of liability for compensated absences was $32,400. M estimated that there were 200 total vacation days available at December 31, 2021. M's employees earn an average of $162 per day. In its December 31, 2021, balance sheet, what amount of liability for compensated absences is M required to report
Answer:
$28,200
Explanation:
There are 200 vacation days available as at December 31, 2021.
The liability compensated absences will be the amount that M Corp. owes employees should they take those 200 vacation days.
Amount of liability = Number of total vacation days * Wage per day
Amount of liability = 200 * 141 per day
Amount of liability = $28,200
Your firm has a credit rating of BBB. You notice the credit spread for 5yr maturity BBB debt is 1.1% or 110 basis points. Your firm's 5yr debt has a coupon rate of 6% with annual payments. You see that new 5yr Treasury bonds are being issued at par with a coupon rate of 2.6%. What should the price of your outstanding 5yr bonds be per $100 face value?
a. $110.33.b. $115.75.c. $123.71.d. $112.54.
Answer:
Bond Price = $110.3260609 rounded off to $110.33
Option A is the correct answer.
Explanation:
To calculate the price of the bond today, we will use the formula for the price of the bond. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is an annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and annual interest rate in the market will be,
Coupon Payment (C) = 100 * 0.06 = $6
Total periods (n) = 5'
i or market interest rate = 2.6% + 1.1% = 3.7%
We use the market interest rate for BBB rated bonds in the calculation. The market rate can be found by taking the risk free rate and adding the credit spread for BBB rating bond in this case. The market rate comes out to be 3.7%
The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.
Bond Price = 6 * [( 1 - (1+0.037)^-5) / 0.037] + 100 / (1+0.037)^5
Bond Price = $110.3260609 rounded off to $110.33
Cantlay, Inc., earns pretax book net income of $800,000 in 2019. Cantlay acquires a depreciable asset that year, and first-year tax depreciation exceeds book depreciation by $80,000. Cantlay reported no other temporary or permanent book-tax differences. The pertinent U.S. Federal corporate income tax rate is 21% and Cantlay earns an after-tax rate of return on capital of 8%. What is Cantlay’s current income tax expense for the year?
Answer: $151,200
Explanation:
The Tax depreciation exceeds book depreciation so this excess will have to be removed from the income before tax is calculated as it is tax deductible.
Current Income Tax = (Pretax book income - Excess tax depreciation) * Income tax rate
= (800,000 - 80,000) * 21%
= $151,200
The rate of economic growth per capita in France from 1996 to 2000 was 1.9% per year, while in Korea over the same period it was 4.2%. Per capita real GDP was $28,900 in France in 2003, and $12,700 in Korea. Assume the growth rates for each country remain the same.
Compute the doubling time for France’s per capita real GDP.
Compute the doubling time for Korea’s per capita real GDP.
What will France’s per capita real GDP be in 2045?
What will Korea’s per capita real GDP be in 2045?
Answer:
Per capita real GDP was $28,900 in France in 2003, and $12,700 in Korea. Assume the growth rates for each country remain the same. 1. Compute the doubling ... remain the same. 2. For Korea, the doubling time will be 72 ÷ 4.2 = 17.1years 3. ... Same with the above, there are 42yrs between 2003 and 2045.
Per capita real GDP was $28,900 in France in 2003, and $12,700 in Korea. We use the rule of 70. The doubling time for France’s per capita real GDP is 70/1.9 = 36.8 years, so France's GDP will double in 2040. Explanation:
Sampson Industries has an annual plant capacity of 70,000 units; current production is 59,000 units per year. At the current production volume, the variable cost per unit is $26.00 and the fixed cost per unit is $4.80. The normal selling price of Sampson's product is $41.00 per unit. Sampson has been asked by Caldwell Company to fill a special order for 7,000 units of the product at a special sales price of $20.00 per unit. Caldwell is located in a foreign country where Sampson does not currently operate. Caldwell will market the units in its country under its own brand name, so the special order is not expected to have any effect on Sampson's regular sales. Read the requirementsLOADING.... Requirement 1. How would accepting the special order impact Sampson's operating income? Should Sampson accept the special order? Complete the following incremental analysis to determine the impact on Sampson's operating income if it accepts this special order. (Enter a "0" for any zero balances. Use parentheses or a minus sign to indicate a decrease in contribution margin and/or operating income from the special order.) Incremental Analysis of Special Sales Order Decision Total Order (7,000 units) Revenue from special order $140,000 Less expenses associated with the order: Less: Variable manufacturing cost 182,000 Contribution margin $(42,000) Less: Additional fixed expenses associated with the order – Increase (decrease) in operating income from the special order
Answer:
Sampson Industries
1. How would accepting the special order impact Sampson's operating income?
The acceptance of the special order will decrease Sampson's operating income by $42,000.
2. Should Sampson accept the special order?
No. Sampson should not accept the special order. It does not make any contribution in reducing the fixed costs. Instead, it decreases the net income. Special orders should be accepted when they add to the contribution in defraying the fixed costs, even if they do not add to the net income.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Annual plant capacity = 70,000 units
Current production = 59,000
Variable cost per unit = $26.00
Fixed cost per unit = $4.80
Normal Selling price per unit = $41
Special order = 70,000
Price of special order = $20
Incremental Analysis of Special Sales Order Decision
Total Order (7,000 units)
Revenue from special order $140,000
Less expenses associated with the order:
Less: Variable manufacturing cost 182,000
Contribution margin $(42,000)
Less: Additional fixed expenses associated with the order –
Increase (decrease) in operating income from the special order ($42,000)

You invested $1,400 in an account that pays 7 percent simple interest. How much more could you have earned over a 20-year period if the interest had compounded annually
Answer:
$4,017,56
Explanation:
The Future Value is the amount that you would have earned over the 20year period. This will be greater than the amount of the initial investment due to the interest compounded.
The Future Value (FV) is calculated as follows :
PV = - $1,400
I = 7 %
N = 20
P/yr = 1
PMT = $0
FV = ?
Using a financial calculator to in put the values as shown, the Future Value will be $5,417.56.
The Total Interest on this Investment was $4,017,56 ($5,417.56 - $1,400).
In order to accurately assess the capital structure of a firm, it is necessary to convert its balance sheet figures to a market value basis. KJM Corporation's balance sheet as of today is as follows: Long-term debt (bonds, at par) $10,000,000 Preferred stock 2,000,000 Common stock ($10 par) 10,000,000 Retained earnings 4,000,000 Total debt and equity $26,000,000 The bonds have a 4.0% coupon rate, payable semiannually, and a par value of $1,000. They mature exactly 10 years from today. The yield to maturity is 12%, so the bonds now sell below par. What is the current market value of the firm's debt
Answer:
$5,412,000
Explanation:
The semi annual interest = $20
Periods (n) till maturity are 10*2 = 20
Discounting rate is 12%/2 = 6%
Principal amount is $1,000
Market Value = 20 * PVIFA (20,6%) + 1,000 * PVIF (20,6%)
Market Value = 20 * 11.4699 + 1,000 * 0.3118
Market Value = 229.398 + 311.8
Market Value = 541.198
Market value = $541.20
Number of bonds = 10,000,000/1,000
Number of bonds = 10,000
Current market value = Number of bonds * Market value
Current market value = 10,000 * 541.20
Current market value = $5,412,000

United Parcel Service, Inc. (Ticker: UPS (Links to an external site.)) estimates its cost for a distribution center at $18.63 million. Management has decided to invest $1.1 million a quarter to fund the project. Assuming that the firm can earn a return of 6.25 percent, compounded quarterly, on its savings, how long does the firm have to wait before expanding its operations
Answer:
It will take 182.44 quarters to reach $18,630,000.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Future Value= $18,630,000
Initial Investment= $1,100,000
Interest rate= 0.0625/4= 0.01563
To calculate the time required to reach the objective, we need to use the following formula:
n= ln(FV/PV) / ln(1+i)
n= ln(18,630,000 / 1,100,000) / ln (1.01563)
n= 182,44
It will take 182.44 quarters to reach $18,630,000.

Kahn Company paid $240,000 to purchase a machine on January 1, Year 1. During Year 3, a technological breakthrough resulted in the development of a new machine that costs $300,000. The old machine costs $100,000 per year to operate, but the new machine could be operated for only $36,000 per year. The new machine, which will be available for delivery on January 1, year 3, has an expected useful life of four years. The old machine is more durable and is expected to have a remaining useful life of four years. The current market value of the old machine is $80,000. The expected salvage value of both machines is zero.
Required:
Based on this information, recommend whether to replace the machine. Support your recommendation with appropriate computations.
Answer:
Yes, the machine should be replaced
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Particulars old Machine New machine
Purchase price $300,000
Less:
Salvage value -$80,000
Operating cost $400,000 $144,000
($100,000 × 4 ) ($36,000 × 4)
Total cost $400,000 $364,000
So, the financial advantage is
= $400,000 - $364,000
= $36,000
Since there is a financial advantage of $36,000 so the old machine should be replaced with the new machine
