Answer:
See explanation below
Explanation:
Here, when the price of guppy gummies increases by 5%, the quantity of raskels sold decreases by 4% and the quantity of cannes sold increases by 5%.
i.e, % change in price of guppy grummies = 5%
% change in quantity of raskels = -4%
% change in quantity of cannes = 5%
i) Find the Cross price elasticity of demand between guppy grummies and raskels. Use the expression below.
% change in quantity demanded of raskels / % change in price of guppy gummies
= -4% / 5%
= -0.8
Substitute goods have a negative cross price elasticity of demand. Since, the cross price elasticity of demamd here is negative, the goods are substitute.
It is recommended not to advertise raskels with guppy grummies
ii) Find the Cross price elasticity of demand between guppy grummies and cannes. Use the expression below.
% change in quantity demanded of cannes / % change in price of guppy gummies
= 5% / 5%
= 1
Complement goods have a positive cross price elasticity of demand. Since, the cross price elasticity of demamd here is positive, the goods complement each other.
It is recommended to advertise cannes with guppy grummies.
Annual production and sales level of Product A is 34,300 units, and the annual production and sales level of Product B is 69,550 units. What is the approximate overhead cost per unit of Product A under activity-based costing?
Answer:
$3.00
Explanation:
Calaculation of the approximate overhead cost per unit of Product A under activity-based costing:
The first step is to calculate for the Activity 1 allocated to Product A line which is :
$87,000 × 3,000/5,800
=$261,000,000/5,800
=$45,000
The second step is to calaculate for Activity 2 allocated to Product A line which is :
$62,000 × 4,500/10,000
$279,000,000/10,000
=$27,900
The third step is to calculate for Activity 3 allocated to Product A line which is :
$93,000 × 2,500/7,750
=$232,500,000/7,750
=$30,000
The total overhead allocated to Product A
$45,000+$30,000+$27,900
= $102,900
Overhead per unit of Product A: $102,900/Annual production of 34,300 units
= $3.00
Therefore the approximate overhead cost per unit of Product A under activity-based costing will be $3.00
On January 1, 20X1, Draper Inc. signed a five-year noncancelable lease with Thornhill Company for custom-made equipment. The lease calls for five payments of $161,364.70 to be made at the beginning of each year. The leased asset has a fair value of $900,000 on January 1, 20X1. There is no bargain purchase option, and ownership of the leased asset reverts to Thornhill at the lease end. The leased asset has an expected useful life of six years, and Draper uses straight-line depreciation for financial reporting purposes. Its incremental borrowing rate is 8%. Draper uses a calendar year for financial reporting purposes.
Required:
1. Under U.S GAAP would Draper classify this lease as a capital lease or as an operating lease? Explain.
2. Under IFRS would Draper classify this lease as a capital lease or as an operating lease? Explain.
Answer:
1. Under U.S GAAP the lease will be capital lease
2. Under IFRS it is leased under capital lease method.
Explanation:
1. In order to determine Under U.S GAAP if Draper classify this lease as a capital lease or as an operating lease we would to calculate the lease payable as follows:
lease payable=(Annual Payment*present value after interest and tax)/Fair value
lease payable=($161,364.70*800)/$900,000
lease payable=77.3%
Under U.S GAAP the lease will be capital lease because the lease term is for 5 years was more than 75% of economic life
2. Under IFRS the assets are mostly considered by its economic value, so it is leased under capital lease method.
Waterway Industries has equipment with a carrying amount of $2510000. The expected future net cash flows from the equipment are $2545000, and its fair value is $2043000. The equipment is expected to be used in operations in the future. What amount (if any) should Waterway report as an impairment to its equipment
Answer:
No impairment
Explanation:
Since the future net cash flows are still recoverable and they are higher than carrying amount, none needs to be reported
When a central bank increases bank reserves by $1, the money supply rises by more than $1. The amount of extra money created when the central bank increases bank reserves by $1 is called the money multiplier.
a. The money multiplier is generally greater than 1 because:
1. in a fractional-reserve banking system, each dollar bill is spent more than once (velocity is larger than 1), thereby increasing the money supply by more than $1.
2. in a fractional-reserve banking system, each dollar of reserves can support more than one dollar of deposits, thereby increasing the money supply by more than $1.
3. in a 100 percent reserve banking system, each dollar of reserves supports exactly one hundred dollars of deposits, thereby increasing the money supply by $100.
4. when a central bank increases bank reserves by $1, deposits are automatically increased by $1 as well, thereby increasing the money supply by $2.
The money multiplier is equal to 1 when:
1. reserves < deposits.
2. reserves > deposits.
3. reserves = deposits.
b. The initial money supply is $1,500, of which $700 is currency held by the public. The desired reserve-deposit ratio is 0.1. Calculate the increase in the money supply associated with increases in bank reserves of $10. What is the money multiplier in this economy? Assume that individuals do not change their currency holdings.
c. A general rule for calculating the money multiplier is:
1. 1/(deposit ratio-desired reserve).
2. 1/deposit ratio.
3. 1/desired reserve.
4. 1/(desired reserve-deposit ratio).
d. Suppose the Fed wanted to reduce the money multiplier, perhaps because it believes that change would give it more precise control over the money supply. In order to achieve its goal, the Fed would:
1. decrease the ratio of reserves to deposits.
2. increase reserve requirements.
3. increase the money supply.
4. decrease reserve requirements.
Answer: a. 2. in a fractional-reserve banking system, each dollar of reserves can support more than one dollar of deposits, thereby increasing the money supply by more than $1.
3. reserves = deposits.
b. $900.
Multiplier is 10
c. 4. 1/(desired reserve-deposit ratio).
d. 2. increase reserve requirements.
Explanation:
a. In fractional-reserve banking system, $1 of deposits can be used to create more than $1 in money supply as the money is continuously deposited into other bank accounts. This enables the money to keep increasing until it theoretically reaches a certain amount determined by the money Multiplier.
If the money Multiplier is equal to 1 which is a very rare occasion, this means that the amount required in reserves is equal to the deposits. $1 of deposits will yield a $1 in money supply increase.
b. The desired reserve-deposit ratio is 0.1. For every $1, 0.1 goes to reserves.
If bank reserves have increased by $10 then that means that deposits are,
0.1x = 10
x = $100
Deposits not in reserve are,
= 0.9 * 100
= $90
The money Multiplier can be calculated with the formula,
= 1/(desired reserve-deposit ratio)
= 1/0.1
= 10
Increase in money supply is therefore,
= $90 * 10
= $900
c. As earlier mentioned, option D is the general rule for calculating the money Multiplier.
= 1/(desired reserve-deposit ratio)
d. If the Fed increases the reserve requirement, the effect would be a reduction in the money supply because the denominator is now higher.
For instance, reserve requirement of 0.1 vs 0.2.
At 0.1, the money supply would be,
= 1/0.1
= 10
At 0.2, the money supply would be,
= 1/0.2
= 5
The higher the reserve requirement, the lower the Multiplier.
A company reports the following beginning inventory and two purchases for the month of January. On January 26, the company sells 350 units. Ending inventory at January 31 totals 150 units. Units Unit Cost Beginning inventory on January 1 320 $ 3.00 Purchase on January 9 80 3.20 Purchase on January 25 100 3.34 Required: Assume the periodic inventory system is used. Determine the costs assigned to ending inventory when costs are assigned based on the FIFO method.
Answer:
494.00
Explanation:
The computation of the cost assigned to ending inventory using the FIFO method is shown below:
Particulars Units Unit Cost Amount
Purchase on January 9 50 3.20 160.00
Purchase on January 25 100 3.34 334.00
Cost of Ending Inventory 150.00 494.00
Since there are 150 units in the ending inventory so we take 50 units at $3.20 and the rest 100 units at 3.34 so that the cost assigned to the ending inventory could come
Orange Corporation acquired new office furniture on August 15, 2018, for $130,000. Orange does not elect immediate expensing under § 179. Orange claims any available additional first-year depreciation. If required, round your answer to the nearest dollar.
a. Determine Orange's cost recovery for 2018
The office furniture is classified as a seven-year class of property for MACRS. If bonus depreciation is elected, Orange's deduction is
b. Determine Orange's cost recovery for 2018 if Orange decided to only use $52,000 of bonus depreciation and normal MACRS on the balance of the acquisition cost.
Answer:
Explanation:
a) The asset is purchased in 2018.
In 2018, bonus depreciation % has been increased from 50% to 100%. If bonus depreciation is elected Orange Corporation can deduct 100% of Purchase cost of $130,000.
The office furniture is classified as seven year class of property for MACRs. If bonus depreciation is elected Orange's deduction is $130,000
= $130,000
b) if Orange decides to use only $52,000 of bonus depreciation, it can claim depreciation (MACRS) on balance amount of acquisition cost.
Cost Recovery for 2018:
Bonus depreciation = $52,000
MACRS Depreciation [($130,000 - $52,000) * 14.29%]= $11,146.20
Hence, Cost Recovery for 2018 = Bonus depreciation + MACRS Depreciation
= $52,000 + $11,146.20
= $63,146 (rounded off to nearest dollar)

Item15 0.3 points eBookPrintReferences Check my work Check My Work button is now enabledItem 15Item 15 0.3 points Corporation Q, a calendar year taxpayer, has incurred the following Section 1231 net gains and losses since its formation in 2015. 2015 2016 2017 Section 1231 gains $ 14,800 $ 5,700 0 Section 1231 losses (13,000 ) (9,000 ) $ (3,100 ) Net gain or (loss) $ 1,800 $ (3,300 ) $ (3,100 ) In 2018, Corporation Q sold only one asset and recognized a $4,000 Section 1231 gain. How much of this gain is treated as capital gain, and how much is ordinary
Answer:
$4,000 is treated as a capital gain and then reduced by the un-offset net losses in 2016 ($300) and 2017 ($100) to arrive at net capital gain of $3,600 ($4,000 - 300 - 100). $0 of the amount is treated as an ordinary income.
Explanation:
Section 1231 gain arises when an asset (real property or depreciable business property) is sold for more than its current tax basis. The gain is regarded as a capital gain and taxed at the lower capital gain rates and not as ordinary income.
Section 1231 property are assets used in trade or business and held by the Taxpayer for more than one year. A gain on the sale of Section 1231 business property is treated as a long-term capital gain.
Find the mean, median and mode for the above set of data
Answer:
a. Mean = 35.2 ≈ 35
b. Median = 35.6 ≈ 36
c. Mode = 36.6 ≈ 37
Step-by-step Explanation:
==>Given:
Class of ages in yrs
No. of cases of each class = f
Midpoint of each class = x
Product of midpoint and no. of cases of each class = fx
==>Required:
a. Mean
b. Median
c. Mode
==>SOLUTION:
a. Mean = (Σfx)/Σf
Σf = sum of no. of cases = 5+10+20+22+13+5 = 75
Σfx = 47.5+195+590+869+643.5+297.5 = 2,642.5
Mean = 2,642.5/75 = 35.2 ≈ 35
b. Median = Lm + [((Σf/2) - Cfb)/fm]Cw
Our median is between the 37th and the 38th term, which can be found in the class interval 35-44. This is our median class.
Lm = Lower class boundary of the median class = lower limit of the Medina class + upper limit of the class before the median class ÷ 2 = (35+34)/2 = 34.5
Σf/2 = 75/2 = 37.5
Cfb = Cumulative frequency of class before the median class = 5+10+20 = 35
fm = frequency of the Medina class = 22
Cw = Class width = upper class boundary - lower class boundary = 44.5-34.5 = 10
Median = 34.5 + [(37.5-35)/22] × 10
= 34.5 + [2.5/22] × 10
= 34.5 + [25/22]
= 34.5 + 1.1
= 35.6 ≈ 36
c. Mode = Lm + [∆¹/(∆¹+∆²)]Cw
Modal class = (35-44) [i.e. the class with the highest frequency, which is where our mode falls in]
Lm = lower class boundary of the modal class = lower limit of the modal class + upper limit of the class before the modal class ÷ 2 = (35+34)/2 = 34.5
∆¹ = difference between the frequency of the modal class & the frequency of the class before the modal class = 22 - 20 = 2
∆² = difference between the frequency of the modal class & the frequency of the class after the modal class = 22 - 13 = 9
Cw == Upper class boundary - Lower class boundary = 44.5 - 34.5 = 10
Mode = 34.5 + [2/(2+9)] × 10
= 34.5 + [2/11] × 10
= 34.5 + [20/11]
= 34.5 + 1.8
Mode = 36.6 ≈ 37
Juanita is deciding whether to buy a skirt that she wants, as well as where to buy it. Three stores carry the same skirt, but it is more convenient for Juanita to get to some stores than others. For example, she can go to her local store, located 15 minutes away from where she works, and pay a marked-up price of $103 for the skirt:
Determining opportunity cost Juanita is decidin
Store Travel Time Each Way Price of a Skirt

Juanita makes $16 an hour at work. She has to take time off work to purchase her skirt, so each hour away from work costs her $16 in lost income. Assume that returning to work takes Juanita the same amount of time as getting to a store and that it takes her 30 minutes to shop. As you answer the following questions, ignore the cost of gasoline and depreciation of her car when traveling.
Complete the following table by computing the opportunity cost of Juanita's time and the total cost of shopping at each location.

Assume that Juanita takes opportunity costs and the price of the skirt into consideration when she shops. Juanita will minimize the cost of the skirt if she buys it from the:_________.
Answer:
Juanita should purchase the skirt at the store across town because the total economic cost will be lowest.
Explanation:
three options:
local store 15 minutes away and a price of $103across town 30 minutes away and a price of $89neighboring city 1 hour away and a price of $63Juanita makes $16 per hour at her work, and her purchase decision includes the opportunity cost of lost wages:
total economic cost:
local store = $103 + [1/4 hours x 2 (round trip) x $16] = $111across town = $89 + [1/2 hours x 2 (round trip) x $16] = $105neighboring city = $63 + [1 hour x 2 (round trip) x $16] = $95Juanita should purchase the skirt at the store across town because the total economic cost will be lowest ($105)
Opportunity costs are the benefits lost or extra costs incurred for choosing one activity or investment over another alternative. Economic costs include both accounting costs and opportunity costs.

Suppose that there is a French shipbuilder that imports American made aluminum for parts in its ships. The French shipbuilder needs to purchase aluminum from the American producer for $100,000. Question: At the equilibrium exchange rate, how much does it cost to purchase $100,000 worth of aluminum from the American producer
Answer:
€67,000
Explanation:
The computation o the cost is shown below:
But before that first we have to determine the exchange rate at which the quantity demanded equal to quantity supplies
As we can see that from the table $1.5 per euro exchange rate, the quantity demanded equal to quantity supplied
That means € 1 = $ 1.5
So,
$1 = € 1 ÷ 1.5
So,
Euro exchange rate = €0.67 per dollar
Now
Worth of exchange is
= $100,000 × € 0.67 per dollar
= €67,000

To calculate the operating activities section of cash flows for each of the given cases,
we use the Indirect method formula
Net cash flow from operating actvities = Net Income + Non-Cash Expenses – Increase in Working Capital
Net cash flow from operating actvities =Net Income +/- Changes in Assets & Liabilities + Non-Cash Expenses
Net cash flow from operating actvities = Net Income + Depreciation + Stock Based Compensation + Deferred Tax + Other Non Cash Items – Increase in Accounts Receivable – Increase in Inventory + Increase in Accounts Payable + Increase in Accrued Expenses + Increase in Deferred Revenue
Following the formulae above, we can determine what expense should be added or subtracted to give the operating activities of cash flow below as

2. Total Salaries & wages For May $ 88500
3. Total Travel Expenses for May $21,000
4. Other Expense $ 36,000
5. Operating Income $ 65,500
Explanation:
Given
Adger Corporation
Fixed Element Variable Element Actual Total
per Month per Customer Served for May
Revenue $5,000 $160,000
Employee Salaries
& wages $50,000 $1,100 $88,000
Travel expenses $600 $19,000
Other expenses $36,000 $34,500
There were 35 customers.
Revenue = $5000 per customer
We can easily calculate as we have been given the number of customers and the variable element of expense per customer.
1. Total Revenue in May = 5000 * 35= $ 175,000
Variable Salaries & wages = $ 1100 per customer
Total Variable Salaries & wages = $ 1100 *35= $ 38500
2. Total Salaries & wages For May = Variable + Fixed
= $ 38500 + $50,000= $ 88500
Travel expenses = $600per customer
3. Total Travel Expenses for May = $ 600 *35= $21,000
4. Other Expense = Fixed Expenses = $ 36,000 ( there are no variable expenses)
5. Operating Income= Revenue - Employee Salaries - Travel Expenses
= $ 175,000- $ 88500 - $ 21,000= $ 65,500
Other expenses are included in the net income statement not operating income statement.
Every organization needs some degree of flexibility and standardization. True False Being overly committed to following rules can harm an organization and keep it from growing. True False Every organization needs either a degree of ________ to adapt to new situations or some degree of ________ to make routine tasks and decisions as efficient and effective as possible. standardization; flexibility culture; vision flexibility; standardization structure; design
Answer:
1. True: Every organization needs some degree of flexibility and standardization.
2. True: Being overly committed to following rules can harm an organization and keep it from growing.
3. flexibility; standardization.
Explanation:
It is really important and necessary that all organization have some degree of flexibility and standardization. Every organization is expected to be flexible, in order to be able to effectively manage potential changes or challenges that arises in business. They should also be standardized, by having proper policies, strategies and structure for the purpose of running the business smoothly and efficiently.
However, if an organization is overly committed to following rules, this can cause harm to it's business operations and thereby hindering its growth and development.

Sam was injured in an accident, and the insurance company has offered him the choice of $25,000 per year for 15 years, with the first payment being made today, or a lump sum. If a fair return is 7.5%, how large must the lump sum be to leave him as well off financially as with the annuity
Answer:
The lump sum be of $237,228.84
Explanation:
In order to calculate how large must the lump sum be we would have to use and calculate the formula of Present value of annuity due as follows:
Present value of annuity due=(1+interest rate)*Annuity[1-(1+interest rate)^-time period]/rate
Present value of annuity due=(1+0.075)*$25,000[1-(1.075)^-15]/0.075
Present value of annuity due=$25,000*9.489153726
Present value of annuity due=$237,228.84(Approx)
The lump sum be of $237,228.84

a. Compute the par value per share (1) before the stock dividend and (2) after the stock dividend.
1) $7 per stock2) $7 per stockb. Indicate the balances in the three stockholders? equity accounts after the stock dividend shares have been distributed.
Common stock $589,050Paid-in capital in excess of par - common stock $83,550Retained earnings $625,400Explanation:
since it is a "small" stock dividend, it will be carried out at market value and not at par value.
the total number of stocks = $535,500 / $7 par value = 76,500 stocks
total transaction = 76,500 stocks x $14 x 10% = $107,100
the journal entry should be:
Dr Retained earnings 107,000
Cr Common stock 53,550
Cr Paid in capital in excess of par value 53,550
total common stock account = $535,500 + $53,550 = $589,050 / 84,150 stocks = $7 per stock

g A stock will issue a dividend of $20 one year from today. Dividends will shrink by 3% per year for the next two years after that, and then remain constant forever. Find the current price of one share of this stock, given an effective annual rate of 6%.
Answer:
Current price = $341.943
Explanation:
The Dividend Valuation Model is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the worth of an asset is the sum of the present values of its future cash flows discounted at the required rate of return.
PV dividend in year 1 = 20 × 1.03^(-1)= 19.41747573
PV of dividend in year 2 = 97%× 20 × 1,03^(-2)= 18.28636064
PV of dividend in year 3 = 97%× 97%× 20× 1.03^(-3) = 17.22113575
PV of dividend from year 4 and beyond
This will be done in two steps
PV (in year 3 terms
(97%× 97%× 20× 1.03^(-3))/0.06 =313.6333333
PV in year o terms
PV = A/r
A= 313.63, r = 6%
313.63× 1.03^(-3)= 287.0189291
Price of stock = 19.41 +18.28 + 17.221 + 17.221= 341.943
Current price = $341.943
General Discussion Questions What should business leaders take away from this scandal? What could Wells Fargo have done differently to avert this cultural meltdown? Practice of Ethical Leadership Questions Modeling Character and Values: What values did Stumpf model to Wells Fargo employees? What impact might that have on the culture of Wells Fargo? Encouraging Ethical Conduct: What behaviors can leaders model in order to encourage ethical behavior in their organization? Designing Ethical Systems: Wells Fargo did have some systems in place, like the ethics hotline, to report unethical behavior, but it didn’t work. Why do you think that is? What steps can leaders take to design systems that encourage ethical behavior rather than unethical behavior?

(b) Convene a meeting of senior managers to provide them with appropriate guidelines so as not to repeat such incidents.
(c) Instruct senior managers to advise their juniors to refrain from any such aggressive sales practices.
(d) Investigate to determine the extent of impact of aggressive sales practices as on 2004 and take remedial actions against those who are engaged in such activities.
(e) Promote the whistle-blower method of instantaneous reporting of an incident by anyone who has witnessed such an incident.
(f) Reward employees having honesty, integrity and moral values.
Practice of Ethical Leadership Questions

(f) Encourage employees to report incidents of unethical practices.
(g) Reward honest and hardworking employees.
Well Fargo’s system of ensuring Ethical System within the bank, such as ethics hotline to report unethical behavior did not work because, the top management, led by the CEO did not pay any importance to prevention of unethical practices. Rather, they steered in an organized and structured manner to promote unethical practices.
Leaders can take the following steps to design systems that encourage ethical behavior:
(a) The top leaders must “think ethics”, “speak ethics” and “act ethics”. This is the top most fundamental step in the direction of designing systems to encourage ethical behavior.
(b) Matters on “what is ethical and what is not ethical” must be circulated across the organization.
(c) Periodic briefing must take place from the top management to the junior most employees in a structured and organized manner.
(d) Encouragement on reporting (whistle-blowing) incidents of unethical practices must be given.
(e) System of rewarding honest and hardworking employees must be put in place.
Consider two countries, Alpha and Beta. In Alpha, real GDP per capita is $6,000. In Beta, real GDP per capita is $9,000. Based on the economic growth model, what would you predict about the growth rates in real GDP per capita across these two countries
Answer:
The growth rate of real GDP per capita will be higher in Alpha than it is in Beta
Explanation:
If we are to based on the economic growth model, what I would predict about the growth rates in real GDP per capita across ALPA and BETA is that when both countries are been compared with one another The growth rate of real GDP per capita will be higher in Alpha than it is in Beta because the Alpha real GDP per capita is said to be $6,000 while Beta real GDP per capita is said to be $9,000 which means growth rate of real GDP per capita will be much more higher in Alpha than it is in Beta.
