Answer:
A. Opportunity cost exists only for goods with monetary values.
Explanation:
Fundamentally, these are costs in economics used in analysis of a project, and it can also be used for calculation of cost benefits. It is generally known to measure or do all calculation that deals with the current and also forgone alternatives in any condition but this is mainly in economics where it is mostly used.
It is said that when a person buys two or more items, the concept of opportunity cost applies even though she can afford to buy both items and also known to be the best alternative. Here also, cost is notified as foregone opportunity.
Tanesha sells homemade candles over the Internet. Her annual revenue is $64,000 per year, the explicit costs of her business are $17,000, and the opportunity costs of her business are $22,000. What is her accounting profit
Answer:
The answer is $47,000
Explanation:
Accounting profit profit doesn't consider opportunity cost. So the value for opportunity cost will be left out. It is Economic profit that considers opportunity cost.
Accounting profit = revenue - cost(explicit cost which is all cost involved in directly running the business e.g cost of sales, electricity cost, wage etc.)
Revenue = $64,000
Explicit cost = $17,000
Therefore, Accounting profit is
$64,000 - $17,000
=$47,000

MGM Resorts Incorporated is expected to grow at an exceptionally high rate over the next 2 years due to the success of Macau casino. Growth in dividends is expected to be 20% for the next 2 years before reverted back to a constant rate of 4% that is expected to continue indefinitely. If MGM Resorts’ paid a $1.20 dividend yesterday (D0=$1.20) and the stock is valued according to a required rate of return of 14%, what is the value of a share of MGM Resorts stock today?
Answer:
The value of a share of MGM Resorts stock today will be $16.42
Explanation:
In order to calculate the value of a share of MGM Resorts stock today we would have to calculate the following steps:
Step-1, Dividend for the next 2 years
Dividend per share in Year 0 (D0) = $1.20 per share
Dividend per share in Year 1 (D1) = $1.4400 per share [$1.20 x 120%]
Dividend per share in Year 2 (D2) = $1.7280 per share [$1.4400 x 120%]
Step-2, Share Price in Year 2
Dividend Growth Rate after Year 2 (g) = 4.00% per year
Required Rate of Return (Ke) = 14.00%
Share Price in Year 2 (P2) = D2(1 + g) / (Ke – g)
= $1.7280(1 + 0.04) / (0.14 – 0.04)
= $1.7971 / 0.10
= $17.97 per share
Step-3, The Current Stock Price
As per Dividend Discount Model, Current Stock Price the aggregate of the Present Value of the future dividend payments and the present value the share price in year 2
Year Cash flow ($) PVF at 14.00% Present Value of cash flows ($)
[Cash flows x PVF]
1 1.4400 0.877193 1.26
2 1.7280 0.769468 1.33
2 17.97 0.769468 13.83
TOTAL 16.42
Hence, the value of a share of MGM Resorts stock today will be $16.42
The perfectly competitive firm's short-run supply curve is the Group of answer choices upward-sloping portion of its average total cost curve. horizontal portion of its marginal revenue curve. portion of its average variable cost curve that lies above the average fixed cost curve. upward-sloping portion of its marginal cost curve. portion of its marginal cost curve that lies above its average variable cost curve. Next
Answer:
Portion of its marginal cost curve that lies above its average variable cost curve.
Explanation:
This is explained to be the portion of its marginal cost curve because marginal gross benefits exceeds marginal cost, the firm can earn greater profits by increasing its output.
These profits are been maximized by choosing to supply the level of output where its marginal revenue equals its marginal cost. When this revenue is below the said marginal cost, money is lost, and consequently, it must reduce its output. Profits are however utilized when the firm chooses the level of output where its marginal revenue equals its marginal cost.
If Home Depot was correct in that it was not discriminating, but simply filling positions consistent with those who applied for them (and very few women were applying for customer service positions), given your reading of this chapter, was the firm guilty of discrimination? If so, under what theory?
Answer:
Yes and the theory is stereotyping
Explanation:
In a workplace women are subjected to gender stereotyping.
Stereotyping is when there is a wrong belief or idea about people based on they look on the outside.
Most times this is a wrong belief or partially true. It is a form of prejudice because how the person is on the outside is not a true definition of who they are.
In this scenario women are made to feel they were not on the same level as male counterparts during promotions, hiring, and payment.
This prejudice was explained by home Depot to be based on experience. They said most women had experience as cashiers so the could only fill roles like cashier, customer care, and clerk
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 20X9, the city of Moorhead constructed a new courthouse that was budgeted to cost $5,000,000. Moorhead used a capital projects fund to account for the construction activities. In July of 20X8, a bid was accepted from Diamond Construction to build the courthouse for $4,800,000. On June 15, 20X9, Diamond completed construction and submitted a bill to the city for $4,900,000. The city accepted the bill and paid Diamond the entire amount owed, except for a 10 percentage retainage. On the statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balance prepared for the capital projects fund for the year ended June 30, 20X9, expenditures should be reported at
Answer:
Expenditures should be reported at $4,900,000
Explanation:
According to the given data On June 15, 20X9, Diamond completed construction and submitted a bill to the city for $4,900,000.
As city already accepted the bill and identified the liability, which they have to pay in case construction meets all the agreed requirement. 10% is just retention to deduct only if work not as per agreed terms and requirement
Hence, The expenditure will be recorded at actual amount spent for construction irrrespective of budget or retention amount.
So, so expenditures will be $4,900,000
Gretchen has just started as a fashion marketing intern for an up-and-coming design firm. When she came in, she was asked to work on a project identifying important events where celebrities might wear the fashions. She soon realized that this activity was part of _____________, directly related to marketing.
Answer:
A push-pull strategy
Explanation:
The Push strategy is an aspect of marketing where the marketer aims at taking his products directly to a target audience. This is done so as to stimulate the interest of the consumer in that particular product. Developing brands tend to employ this strategy to showcase themselves to the consumer in hopes of getting them attracted to their products. This is the strategy which the up-and-coming design firm is trying to employ when they seek to identify important events where celebrities might wear the fashions. They engage in this activity because they want to showcase their designs to the target audience- the celebrities.
Pull strategy is the opposite of this strategy as customers are now aware of the reputation of the brand and then seek them out on their own.
Botswana Electronics Company (BEC), is contemplating a research and development program encompassing eight major projects. The company is constrained from embarking on all of the projects by the number of available scientists (40) and the budget available for the projects ($300,000). What are the resource requirements and the estimated profit for each project?
Explanation:
Note that we are told that Botswana Electronics Company (BEC) is constrained because of the number of available scientists (40) and the budget available for the projects ($300,000). Since this is an Electronics production company much of the needed resources includes metals, cables, power, as well as specialised workforce.
Using conservative estimates for the eight project, the profit for each project should be $37,500 b($300,000/8)
During the year, Lillie rented her vacation home for three months and spend one month there. Gross rental income from the property was $5,000. Lillie incurred the following expenses: mortgage interest, $3,000; real estate taxes $1,500; utilities, $800; and depreciation, $4,000. Compute Lillie's allowable deductions for the vacation home.
Answer:
$8,100
Explanation:
The home was rented for more than 14 days, you must pay taxes for the rental income
Since Lille used the house for more than 15 days herself, limits her deduction. The home cannot be treated as rental home nor personal use vacation home.
total days used = (30 x 3) + 30 = 120 days
rental days = 90/120 = 75% (this doesn't apply to mortgage interest nor real estate taxes, they are still 100% deductible)
mortgage interest and real estate taxes still qualify as personal expenses = $3,000 + $1,500 = $4,500
utilities and depreciation will be deducted only 75% = ($800 + $4,000) x 75% = $3,600
total deductions = $4,500 + $3,600 = $8,100
An inexperienced accountant for Ayayai Corp. showed the following in the income statement: income before income taxes $250,000 and unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities (before taxes) $85,000. The unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities and income before income taxes are both subject to a 25% tax rate. Prepare a correct statement of comprehensive income.
Answer:
Ayayai Corp.
Statement of Comprehensive Income
For the Year Ended xxx, 202x
Net income $187,500
Other comprehensive income:
Unrealized gain on AFS securities $85,000
Comprehensive income $272,500
Explanation:
In order to prepare a statement of comprehensive income we first need to determine net income after taxes = $250,000 x (1 - 25%) = $187,500
Unrealized gains or losses are not taxed until they are actually realized (either make profit or lose money).
On January 1, Year 1, Milton Manufacturing Company purchased equipment with a list price of $37,000. A total of $4,000 was paid for installation and testing. During the first year, Milton paid $6,000 for insurance on the equipment and another $700 for routine maintenance and repairs. Milton uses the units-of-production method of depreciation. Useful life is estimated at 100,000 units, and estimated salvage value is $8,000. During Year 1, the equipment produced 14,000 units. What is the amount of depreciation for Year 1
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $4,620
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchasing price= $37,000
Installation= $4,000
Milton uses the units-of-production method of depreciation. Useful life is estimated at 100,000 units, and the estimated salvage value is $8,000. During Year 1, the equipment produced 14,000 units.
First, we will determine the total cost consisting of the purchasing price and all costs to make the equipment operable.
Total cost= 37,000 + 4,000= $41,000
Now, to calculate the depreciation expense, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in units]*units produced
Annual depreciation= [(41,000 - 8,000)/100,000]*14,000
Annual depreciation= $4,620

Joe has just moved to a small town with only one golf course, the Northlands Golf Club. His inverse demand function is pequals=140140minus−22q, where q is the number of rounds of golf that he plays per year. The manager of the Northlands Club negotiates separately with each person who joins the club and can therefore charge individual prices. This manager has a good idea of what Joe's demand curve is and offers Joe a special deal, where Joe pays an annual membership fee and can play as many rounds as he wants at $2020, which is the marginal cost his round imposes on the Club. What membership fee would maximize profit for the Club? The manager could have charged Joe a single price per round. How much extra profit does the Club earn by using two-part pricing? The profit-maximizing membership fee (F) is $nothing. (Enter your response as a whole number.)
Answer: $1800
Explanation:
Here is the correct question:
Joe has just moved to a small town with only one golf course, the Northlands Golf Club. His inverse demand function is p=140-2q, where q is the number of rounds of golf that he plays per year. The manager of the Northlands Club negotiates separately with each person who joins the club and can therefore charge individual prices. This manager has a good idea of what Joe's demand curve is and offers Joe a special deal, where Joe pays an annual membership fee and can play as many rounds as he wants at $20, which is the marginal cost his round imposes on the Club. What membership fee would maximize profit for the Club? The manager could have charged Joe a single price per round. How much extra profit does the Club earn by using two-part pricing? The profit-maximizing membership fee (F) is $nothing. (Enter your response as a whole number.)
Answer:
p = 140 - 2q
The profit-maximizing membership fee will be equal to total surplus
Therefore, the number of rounds that Joe played will be,
P = MC
20 = 140 - 2q
2q = 140 - 20
2q = 120
q = 120/2
q = 60
Total surplus = 1/2 × (vertical intercept of the demand curve - marginal cost) × the quantiy of rounds.
Total surplus = 1/2 × (140 - 20) × 60
= 1/2 × 120 × 60
= 3600
Therefore, the maximum membership fee will be = $3600.
If the firm charge Joe a single price , then the rounds provided will be such that MR = MC
Total revenue = price × quantity
TR = (140 - 2q) × q
TR = 140q - 2q²
MR = dTR/dQ = 140 - 4q
We then equate MR = MC
140 - 4q = 20
4q = 140 - 20
4q = 120
q = 120/4
q = 30
P = 140 - 2q
P = 140 - (2 × 30)
P = 140 - 60
P = 80
Therefore, the profit if a single price is charge will be:
= TR - TC = pq - MC×q = (P-MC)×Q
= (80-20) × 30
= $1800
Therefore, the increase in the profit by two-par pricing will be:
=Membership fee - Profit of single price charge
= $3600 - $1800
= $1800
Firms HD and LD are identical except for their level of debt and the interest rates they pay on debt—HD has more debt and pays a higher interest rate on that debt. Based on the data given below, what is the difference between the two firms' ROEs? Applicable to Both Firms Firm HD's Data Firm LD's Data Assets $200 Debt ratio 50% Debt ratio 30% EBIT $40 Interest rate 12% Interest rate 10% Tax rate 35%
Answer:
2.41%
Explanation:
The difference between the two firms' ROEs is shown below:-
Particulars Firm HD Firm LD
Assets $200 Debt ratio 50% Debt ratio 30%
EBIT $40 Interest rate 12% Interest rate 10%
Tax rate 35%
Debt $100 $60
Interest $12 $6
($100 × 12%) ($60 × 10%)
Taxable income $28 $36
($40- $12) ($40 - $6)
Net income $18.2 $22.1
$28 × (1 - 0.35) $36 × (1 - 0.35)
Equity $100 $140
($200 - $100) ($200 - $60)
ROE 18.2% 15.79%
($18.2 ÷ $100) ($22.1 ÷ $140)
Taxable income = EBIT - Interest
Net income = Income - Taxable income
Equity = Assets - Debt
ROE = Net income ÷ Equity
Difference in ROE = ROE Firm HD - ROE Firm LD
= 18.2% - 15.79%
= 2.41%
So, for computing the difference between the two firms' ROEs we simply deduct the ROE firm LD from ROE firm HD.
an investment that in today's dollars returns 12% of your investment in year 1, 18% in year 2, 11% in year 3, and the remainder in year 4. Rounded to two places, what is the Duration of this investment
Answer:
3.17 years
Explanation:
We can calculate the duration of Investment by duration formula,
Duration= Sum of (PV of each cashflow x year)
PV of each cash flow can be understood as Dolar return % given in the Question.
Year1 Year2 Year3 Year4
Duration= (12% x 1) + (18% x 2) + (11% x 3) + (59% x 4)
Duration= 0.12 + 0.36 + 0.33 + 2.36
Duration= 3.17 years
Note: (100%-12%-18%-11%)59% can be calculated as the remainder of 100% after deducting each year's %.

Every year, the U.S. Census Bureau conducts an income survey of about 60,000 American families carefully selected to represent the whole population. The data collected help to measure income inequality in the economy. Which of the following causes the census data to inaccurately measure income inequality?
a) Very few people move from one income quintile to another over the years.
b) Higher-income families tend to have more persons to support.
c) In-kind transfers do not add to people's incomes but are counted as income.
Answer:
c) In-kind transfers do not add to people's incomes but are counted as income.
Explanation:
In the given scenario the aim of the census is to measure income inequality in the population selected.
If however the amount of income earned by individuals is not estimated accurately the results of the study will be inaccurate.
In kind transfers are usually goods and services that a person gets for free of at a reduced rate. They are not considered to be income.
When in kind transfers are counted as income and do not actually add up to income, we cannot get a true picture of income of participants of the income survey.
People who have low income but high in kind transfers will be considered high income earners which is not true.
Chen Company's account balances at December 31, 2017 for Accounts Receivable and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts are $800,000 debit and $1,500 credit. Sales during 2017 were $2,750,000. It is estimated that 1% of sales will be uncollectible. The adjusting entry would include a credit to the allowance account for:___________.
A) $29,000.
B) $27,500.
C) $26,000.
D) $8,000.
Answer:
B) $27,500.
Explanation:
The computation of the amount credited to the allowance account is shown below:
= Sales during the 2017 year × estimated uncollectible percentage
= $2,750,000 × 1%
= $27,500
By multiplying the sales with the estimated uncollectible percentage we can get the amount credited to the allowance account and the same is to be considered
Hence, the correct option is B
n the kinked demand curve model, competitors: A. ignore any price change by a rival firm. B. ignore any price increase and match any price decrease by a rival firm. C. match any price increase and ignore any price decrease by a rival firm. D. follow any price change by a rival firm.
Answer:
B. ignore any price increase and match any price decrease by a rival firm.
Explanation:
The kinked demand curve model is used by economists to provide information about the monopolistic and oligopolistic market.
Under oligopoly, the kinked demand curve shows that price aren't flexible for a long period of time. The kindred demand curve is associated with a demand curve that isn't a straight line but has varying elasticity for both lower and higher prices in the economic market.
Hence, organizations operating in an oligopolistic market ensure their market shares are maintained and well protected. Thus, an oligopolist would lower it's selling price if its competitors in the market lower their selling price. However, he or she ignores any price increase by his or her competitors.
The kinked demand curve model helps them to understand how to protect and expand their market share.
Arizona Crystal is a distributor of feldspar, amethyst and other mystically powerful types of crystals. The owner of Arizona Crystal, Geri Moonbeam, is proud to be a part of the movement that is contributing to the higher spirituality of the world. Geri buys crystals from local collectors and then ships them out to wholesalers throughout the country. Geri pays cash for the crystals, but she extends credit to the wholesalers. As the business has grown, problems have arisen. When Geri buys more crystals than she can sell, inventory increases and cash flow problems arise. When Geri doesn’t buy enough crystals, then she can’t fill orders and that creates problems with her customers. She needs to base her buying decisions on accurate forecasts of the demand for crystals so she can avoid these problems. After consulting her tarot cards, Geri visits a friend from El Paso, Texas, who channels for a Wall Street tycoon who didn’t survive the crash of 1929. He recommends that, since she only has twelve months of data, she should try using a moving average or exponential smoothing forecasting model. So Geri contacts you. She provides you with data on the number of crystals (in thousands) ordered during each of the past twelve months and asks you to help her develop a forecasting model. 8.

A short forward contract that was negotiated some time ago will expire in three months and has a delivery price of $40. The current forward price for three-month forward contract is $42. The three month risk-free interest rate (with continuous compounding) is 8%. What is the value of the short forward contract?
Answer:
-$1.96 is the value.
Explanation:
The contract gives obligation to sell for $40 when a forward price negotiated today would give one obligation to sell for $42.
The value of contract is present value of
40 - 42= -$2
The rate is at 8%
8%= 0.08
3 months= 3/12= 0.25 years
The present value can be calculated as
Value of present contract= -2e^(0.08 x 0.25)
Value of present contract= -$1.96
Ivory Corporation, a calendar year, accrual method C corporation, has two cash method, calendar year shareholders who are unrelated to each other. Craig owns 35% of the stock, and Oscar owns the remaining 65%. During 2019, Ivory paid a salary of $100,000 to each shareholder. On December 31, 2019, Ivory accrued a bonus of $25,000 to each shareholder. Assuming that the bonuses are paid to the shareholders on February 1, 2020, compute Ivory Corporation's 2019 deduction for the above amounts.
Answer:
$225,000
Explanation:
Computation for Ivory Corporation's 2019 deduction for the above amounts.
In a situation where a Corporation uses the accrual method such Corporation cannot in any way claim a deduction for an accrual with respect to a related party reason been that the recipient have to reports the amount as income.
Therefore Ivory Corporation cannot deduct the $25,000 bonus which was attributable to Oscar because Oscar is the related party until the year 2018.
Ivory Corporation should go ahead and deduct in 2017 the salary payments which is been made to each shareholder plus the accrued bonus to Craig, or $225,000
Salary of $100,000 + Salary of $100,000 + $25,000 bonus
$225,000
A friend and fellow student shares her employment experience over the last 12-week summer break. It took her one full week to find a job. She started on the first day of week two and was able to keep her job for the remaining eleven weeks. Use this information to answer the following three questions, assuming the unemployment rate is not changing: 1. Calculate the rate of job finding (f) for the summer, using an average rate per week. Enter this value in the box below. Note that if f is the rate of job finding, then the average spell of unemployment is (1/f).
Answer: 1. 12. 2. 1.090. 3. 0.08327
Explanation:
Here is the complete question:
friend and fellow student shares her employment experience over the last 12-week summer break. It took her one full week to find a job. She started on the first day of week two and was able to keep her job for the remaining eleven weeks. Use this information to answer the following three questions, assuming the unemployment rate is not changing:
1. Calculate the rate of job finding (f) for the summer, using an average rate per week. Enter this value in the box below. Note that if f is the rate of job finding, then the average spell of unemployment is (1/f).
The value of f is:
2. Calculate the rate of job separation (s), using an average rate per week. Enter this value into the box below. Note that if s is the rate of job separation, then the average length of employment is (1/s).
The value of s is:
3. Calculate the natural rate of unemployment (U) using the above results and enter this value in the box below.
The natural rate of unemployment (in percent) is
1. From the question, we can see that it was said that took her one full week to get a job over the last 12 week summer break. The unemployment rate will be 12.
The value of f is: 12
2. From the question, the average length of the employment is 11/12 weeks. The rate of job separation will be: s = 12weeks ÷ 11 weeks
s = 1.090
The value of s is: 1.090
3. The natural rate of unemployment will be:
U = s/(s+f)
= 1.090/(1.090 + 12)
= 1.090/13.090
= 0.08327
Data collected from the economy of Pokerville reveals that a 16% increase in income leads to the following changes:
• A 12% increase in the quantity of horses demanded.
• A 14% decrease in the quantity of clubs demanded.
• A 28% increase in the quantity of diamonds demanded.
Compute the income elasticity of demand for each good and use the dropdown menus to complete the first column in the following table.
Good Income Elasticity of Demand Normal or Inferior Good
Horses
Spades
Aces
Which of the following three goods is most likely to be classified as a luxury good?
a. Aces
b. Spades
c. Horses
Answer:
Horses - 0.75 - normal
Clubs- 0.875 - inferior
Diamonds - 1.75 - normal
Diamond is a luxury good
Explanation:
Income elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in income of the consumer.
Income elasticity of demand = percentage change in demand / percentage change in income
Income elascitiy for horses = 12% / 16% =
Income elasticity of demand for spades = 14% / 16% = 0.875
Income elasticity of demand for diamonds 28% / 16% = 1.75
A normal good is a whose demand increases when income increases and falls when income falls.
An inferior good is a good whose demand increases when income falls and whose demand falls when income increases.
Horses and diamonds are normal goods because the demand for the goods increases with income while clubs are inferior goods because the demand for the goods falls when income rises.
A luxury good is a good whose demand rises more than the rise in income. The demands for diamonds increase more than the increase in income, so diamonds are luxury goods.

Lehi City has designated an internal service fund as the single fund to account for its self-insurance activities. Most of the insured activities such as the police department, fire department, and general government functions are accounted for in the General Fund. What is the maximum amount that can be charged to expenditure in the General Fund related to the self-insurance activities
Answer: c)The actuarially determined amount necessary to cover claims, expenditures, and catastrophic losses.
Explanation:
The Expenditure on the account related to self - insurance activities refers to the amounts that will be deducted from the fund for anything insurance related.
The insurance is meant to cover the claims and unlikely events of catastrophies. Therefore when those things do occur it will be deducted from the service fund to cover those things.
Those along with expenses incurred to maintain the fund will be considered expenses and that is the maximum amounts that can be deducted from the fund.
Taggart Technologies is considering issuing new common stock and using the proceeds to reduce its outstanding debt. The stock issue would have no effect on total assets, the interest rate Taggart pays, EBIT, or the tax rate. Which of the following is likely to occur if the company goes ahead with the stock issue?
a. The ROA will decline.
b. Taxable income will decrease.
c. The tax bill will increase.
d. Net income will decrease.
e. The times interest earned ratio will decrease.
Answer:
Option c. is correct
Explanation:
A stock is an investment that denotes an ownership share in a company. Purchasing a company’s stock means purchasing a small piece of that company that denotes a share.
In the given question, if the company goes ahead with the stock issue that would not affect total assets: the interest rate Taggart pays, EBIT, or the tax rate then the tax bill will increase.
Analyzing Accounts Receivable Changes The comparative balance sheets of Sloan Company reveal that accounts receivable (before deducting allowances) increased by $15,000 in 2013. During the same time period, the allowance for uncollectible accounts increased by $2,100. If sales revenue was $120,000 in 2013 and bad debts expense was 2.5% of sales, how much cash was collected from customers during the year?
Answer:
Cash was collected from customers during the year was $ 104,100
Explanation:
Sales revenue = $120,000
Bad debt expense = 2.5% of sales
Therefore, Bad debt expense = $120,000 x 2.5% = $3,000
Thus, allowance for uncollectible accounts should have increased by $3,000. But it increased by $2,100.
Therefore, uncollectible accounts receivable of $900 ($3,000 - $2,100) were written off during that year.
Cash collected from customers = Sales revenue - Increase in accounts receivable - Uncollectible accounts written off
= $120,000 - $15,000 - $900
= $104,100
