The graph shows how a bilateral monopoly occurs in the market for singers in a small town. The bar has monopsony power because it is the only business requiring this type of labor. Meanwhile, the singer has monopoly power because there is only one good singer in town.
The supply and demand curves for the market show the amount of labor the bar is willing to buy at various wages and the amount of labor the singer is willing to supply at various wages. The marginal cost curve shows the cost of hiring additional labor, while the marginal revenue curve shows the income to the singer from providing additional labor. The equilibrium wage for the market will be the intersection of both curves. The bar will be willing to pay the singer this wage to maximize their profit.

Yukelson Company owns the building occupied by its administrative office. The office building was reflected in the accounts at the end of last year as follows:
a, Cost when acquired $412,500
b. Accumulated depreciation (based on straight-line depreciation, an estimated life of 50 years, and a $37,500 residual value) 60,000
During January of this year, on the basis of a careful study, management decided that the total estimated useful life should be changed to 30 years (instead of 50) and the residual value reduced to $22,500 (from $30,000). The depreciation method will not change.
Required:
1. Compute the annual depreciation expense prior to the change in estimates.
2. Compute the annual depreciation expense after the change in estimates.
3. What will be the net effect of changing estimates on the balance sheet, net income, and cash flows for the year?
Answer:
Yukelson Company
1. The annual depreciation expense prior to the change in estimates is:
= $7,500.
2. The annual depreciation expense after the change in estimates is:
= $13,000.
3. The net effect of changing estimates on the balance sheet, net income, and cash flows for the year:
Balance Sheet:
The accumulated depreciation will increase by $5,500, thus reducing the net book value of the building.
Net Income:
The net income will be reduced by $5,500.
Cash Flows:
No effect on cash flows because depreciation is not a cash flow item. The only adjustment will be when the net income is used to compute the cash flows.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost Building = $412,500
Estimated residual value = $37,500
Estimated useful life = 50 years
Accumulated depreciation = $60,000
Depreciable amount = $375,000 ($412,500 - $37,500)
Annual depreciation expense = $7,500 ($375,000/50)
Revised residual value = $22,500
Revised useful life = 30 years
Depreciable amount = $390,000 ($412,500 - $22,500)
Annual depreciation expense = $13,000 ($390,000/30)
A researcher was interested in the relationship between the number of texts sent in a day and the number of e-mails sent in a day by employees at a certain company. Using 15 data values, a 90 percent confidence interval for the slope of a regression model was found to be (2.31, 3.47). The researcher claims that the interval would have been narrower with a different sample size if all other things remained the same. Which of the following sample sizes would make the researcher's claim NOT true?
A. 14
B. 16
C. 20
D. 30
E. 100
Answer:
A. 14
Explanation:
the researcher claims that the width of the interval would have been smaller if the sample had been different, and in this case different refers to larger. The original sample included only 15 people, so in order to increase the data sample, you must include more than 15 people. That is why 14 doesn't make sense.
Which of the following is not a way to accomplish an activity cost reduction? a.improve operations so that the activity-base usage per unit is reduced b.use lower-cost materials c.change the classification of employees doing an activity so as to decrease the activity rate d.none of the above
Answer:
b. use lower-cost materials
Explanation:
In Accounting, costing is the measurement of the cost of production of goods and services by assessing the fixed costs and variable costs associated with each step of production.
Production costs can be categorized as;
1. Variable costs: these are costs that usually change with respect to changes in the level of production or output. Examples are direct labor, maintenance of equipment or machines, raw materials costs etc.
2. Fixed costs: these are the costs which are not directly related to the level of production or not affected by the quantity of output in an organization. Examples are rent, depreciation, administrative cost, research and development costs, marketing costs etc.
Some of the ways to accomplish activity cost reduction are;
I. The operations of a business firm should be improved in order to make the activity-base usage per unit to be reduced.
II. The classification of employees doing an activity should be changed so as to decrease the activity rate.

Explanation:
FedEx is the world's largest express transportation company. In addition to the world's largest fleet of all-cargo aircraft, the company has more than 650 aircraft and 58.000 vehicles and trailers that pick up and deliver packages. Assume that FedEx sold a delivery truck that had been used in the business for three years. The records of the company reflected the following:
Delivery truck cost $35,000
Accumulated depreciation $23,000
Required:
1. Give the journal entry for the disposal of the truck, assuming that the truck sold for
a. $12,000 cash
b. $12.400 cash
c. $11,500 cash
2. Based on the three preceding situations, explain the effects of the disposal of an asset.
Answer:
1-a. Debit Cash for $12,000; Debit Accumulated depreciation - Truck for $23,000; and Credit Equipment - Truck for $35,000.
1-b. Debit Cash for $12,400; Debit Accumulated depreciation - Truck for $23,000; Credit Gain on sale of equipment for $400; and Credit Equipment - Truck for $35,000.
1-c. Debit Cash for $11,500; Debit Accumulated depreciation - Truck for $23,000; Debit Loss on sale of equipment for $500; and Credit Equipment - Truck for $35,000.
2-a. The disposal the asset (Delivery truck) for $12,000 cash results into neither gain nor loss.
2-b. The disposal the asset (Delivery truck) for $12,400 cash results into a gain of $400.
2-b. The disposal the asset (Delivery truck) for $11,500 cash results into a loss of $500.
Explanation:
1-a. Give the journal entry for the disposal of the truck, assuming that the truck sold for $12,000 cash.
Gain or loss on the disposal of delivery truck = Cash - (Delivery truck cost - Accumulated depreciation) = $12,000 - ($35,000 - $23,000) = $12,000 - $12,000 = $0
Therefore, the journal entries will look as follows:
Particulars Debit ($) Credit ($)
Cash 12,000
Accumulated depreciation - Truck 23,000
Equipment - Truck 35,000
(To record the disposal of delivery truck.)
1-b. Give the journal entry for the disposal of the truck, assuming that the truck sold for $12,400 cash.
Gain or loss on the disposal of delivery truck = Cash - (Delivery truck cost - Accumulated depreciation) = $12,400 - ($35,000 - $23,000) = $12,400 - $12,000 = $400 gain
Therefore, the journal entries will look as follows:
Particulars Debit ($) Credit ($)
Cash 12,400
Accumulated depreciation - Truck 23,000
Gain on sale of equipment 400
Equipment - Truck 35,000
(To record the disposal of delivery truck.)
1-c. Give the journal entry for the disposal of the truck, assuming that the truck sold for $11,500 cash.
Gain or loss on the disposal of delivery truck = Cash - (Delivery truck cost - Accumulated depreciation) = $11,500 - ($35,000 - $23,000) = $11,500 - $12,000 = $500 loss
Therefore, the journal entries will look as follows:
Particulars Debit ($) Credit ($)
Cash 11,500
Accumulated depreciation - Truck 23,000
Loss on sale of equipment 500
Equipment - Truck 35,000
(To record the disposal of delivery truck.)
2. Based on the three preceding situations, explain the effects of the disposal of an asset.
2-a. The disposal the asset (Delivery truck) for $12,000 cash results into neither gain nor loss.
2-b. The disposal the asset (Delivery truck) for $12,400 cash results into a gain of $400.
2-b. The disposal the asset (Delivery truck) for $11,500 cash results into a loss of $500.

The building was completed and ready for occupancy on the first day of June. In determining the amount of interest cost to be capitalized, the weighted-average accumulated expenditures are
Answer:
$101,269.5
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the weighted-average accumulated expenditures
Weighted-average accumulated expenditures=$202,539* (3/12 + 2/12 + 1/12)
Weighted-average accumulated expenditures=$202,539*0.5
Weighted-average accumulated expenditures=$101,269.5
Therefore In determining the amount of interest cost to be capitalized, the weighted-average accumulated expenditures are $101,269.5

b. A currency is widely accepted in exchange for goods and services and therefore makes economic transactions easier.
c. A currency can be used to express the value goods and services that are both relatively expensive and goods and services that are relatively cheap.
d. People are willing to accept a currency in the future as compensation for debts accrued earlier
Answer:
d. People are willing to accept a currency in the future as compensation for debts accrued earlier
Explanation:
Money can be used to pay your current debts at a later date since $100 will still be $100 in the future. They might lose some of its value due to inflation, but they do not spoil or rot, and will probably be accepted in the future. imagine trying to pay an old debt with rotten tomatoes or an old cow.

Explanation:
a. Straight Line depreciation : ( Cost of asset - Salvage Value ) / Useful Life
Depreciation : ( 25,000 - 3,000 ) / 5 years = 4,400
b. Units of Production : ( Cost of Asset / Total Machine units ) * Usage per year
Year 1 : ( 25,000 / 10,000 ) * 2,000 = $5,000
Year 2 : ( 25,000 / 10,000 ) * 3,000 = $7,500
Year 3 : ( 25,000 / 10,000 ) * 2,000 = $5,000
Year 4 : ( 25,000 / 10,000 ) * 2,000 = $5,000
Year 5 : ( 25,000 / 10,000 ) * 1,000 = $2,500
c. Double declining Method : Cost * declining percentage
Year 1 : 25,000 * 50% = 12,500
Year 2 : 25,000 * 25% = 6,250
Year 3 : 25,000 * 12.5% = 3,125
Year 4 : 25,000 * 6.25% = 1,562.5
Year 5 : 25,000 * 3.125% = 781.25

Explanation:
P3-uZ Company produces leather sandals. The company employs a standard costing system and has the following standards in order to produce one pair of sandals:
Standard quantity Standard price
Direct materials 2 leather strips ?? per strip
Direct Labor 2.5 hours $12 per hour
Variable overhead 2.5 hours ?? per hour
During May, P3-uz used 16,300 leather strips in the production of sandals. P3-uz had no beginning inventories of any type for May. At May 31, P3-uz had 600 leather strips remaining in its direct materials inventory.
P3-uz Company reported the following variances for May:
Direct material price variance $40,525 favorable
Direct labor rate variance $27,560 unfavorable
Total direct labor variance $37,240 favorable
Variable overhead spending variance $9,280 unfavorable
Variable overhead efficiency variance $60,480 favorable
Required:
Calculate P3-uz's direct material quantity variance for May.
Answer:
Direct material quantity variance for May = (16,300 - (2 * Actual number of sandals produced in May)) * 9.84
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete as total cost of leather strips purchased and direct labor are both omitted. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
P3-uZ Company produces leather sandals. The company employs a standard costing system and has the following standards in order to produce one pair of sandals:
Standard quantity Standard price
Direct materials 2 leather strips ?? per strip
Direct Labor 2.5 hours $12 per hour
Variable overhead 2.5 hours ?? per hour
During May, P3-uz purchased leather strips at a total cost of $124,250 and had direct labor totaling $154,760. During May, P3-uz used 16,300 leather strips in the production of sandals. P3-uz had no beginning inventories of any type for May. At May 31, P3-uz had 600 leather strips remaining in its direct materials inventory.
P3-uz Company reported the following variances for May:
Direct material price variance $40,525 favorable
Direct labor rate variance $27,560 unfavorable
Total direct labor variance $37,240 favorable
Variable overhead spending variance $9,280 unfavorable
Variable overhead efficiency variance $60,480 favorable
Required:
Calculate P3-uz's direct material quantity variance for May.
The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:
Actual total quantity = Number of strips of leather used in production = 16,300
Number of strips of leather purchased = Actual total quantity + Number of leather strips remaining in its direct materials inventory = 16,300 + 600 = 16,900
Actual price per strips = Total cost of leather strips purchased / Number of strips of leather purchased = $124,250 / 16,900 = $7.35
Direct material price variance = (Standard price – Actual price) * Actual quantity ................... (1)
Substituting the relevant values into equation (1) and solve for Standard price, we have:
$40,525 = (Standard price - 7.35) * 16,300
$40,525 = (Standard price * 16,300) - (7.35 * 16300)
(Standard price * 16,300) = $40,525 + (7.35 * 16300)
Standard price = ($40,525 + (7.35 * 16300)) / 16,300
Standard price = $9.84
Therefore, we have:
Direct material quantity variance for May = (Actual total quantity - (Standard quantity * Actual number sandals produced)) * Standard price ................. (2)
Substituting the relevant values into equation (2) and solve for Standard price, we have:
Direct material quantity variance for May = (16,300 - (2 * Actual number of sandals produced in May)) * 9.84 ............... (3)
Therefore, equation (3) gives the Direct material quantity variance for May since the question is silent on the Actual number of sandals produced produced in May.

why is having insurance important ?
Answer:
Explanation:
Because nothing is worth risking when you can have someone back you up. If something ever happens to you that you can't afford, insurance companies will have your back. If your house gets destroyed in a hurricane, you can recover the exact value of the house if you have insurance. However, if you don't have insurance, you bascially just lost your house. You can have insurance for many things such as car insurance, life insurance, health insurance.

Calculate (a) the accounts receivable period, (b) accounts payable period, (c) inventory period, and (d) cash cycle for the following firm. (Use 365 days a year. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 1 decimal place.) Income Statement Data: Sales $ 5,000 Cost of goods sold 4,200 Balance Sheet Data: Inventory $ 550 Accounts receivable 110 Accounts payable 270
Answer:
a. Accounts receivable period:
= Accounts receivable turnover ratio * 365 days
= (Average accounts receivable / Sales) * 365
= (110 / 5,000) * 365
= 8.0 days
b. Accounts Payable period:
= Accounts payable turnover ratio * 365
= (Average accounts payable / Cost of goods sold) * 365
= (270 / 4,200) * 365
= 23.5 days
c. Inventory period:
= Inventory turnover ratio * 365
= (Average inventory / Cost of goods sold) * 365
= (550 / 4,200) * 365
= 47.8 days
d. Cash cycle:
= Inventory period + Accounts receivables period - Accounts payable period
= 47.8 + 8 - 23.5
= 32.3 days

Social responsibility theories:________
a. Are generally classified as modern ethical versions of Utilitarianism
b. Determine the moral worth of an action regardless of their consequences
c. Are largely precise legalistic formulations
d. Classify corporate social responsibility as typically the corporation engaging in community and civic affairs in a prudent manner.
Answer:
a. Are generally classified as modern ethical versions of Utilitarianism
Explanation:
It is correct to say that social responsibility theories are generally classified as modern ethical versions of utilitarianism, due to the fact that utilitarianism can be understood as an ethical doctrine whose premise is that moral agents must act to promote the greatest amount of good -be.
In this case, the moral agents are the companies, which currently assume a much larger role than just profitable entities, there is a social demand for companies to have corporate social responsibility, that is, to promote well-being and contribute with the community where they operate, through actions that minimize environmental impacts, social programs, community support, etc.
Kragan Clothing Company manufactures its own designed and labeled athletic wear and sells its products through catalog sales and retail outlets. While Kragan has for years used activity-based costing in its manufacturing activities, it has always used traditional costing in assigning its selling costs to its product lines. Selling costs have traditionally been assigned to Kraganâs product lines at a rate of 70% of direct materials costs. Its direct materials costs for the month of March for Kraganâs "high-intensity" line of athletic wear are $395,000. The company has decided to extend activity-based costing to its selling costs. Data relating to the "high-intensity" line of products for the month of March are as follows.
Activity Cost Pools Cost Drivers Overhead Rate Number of Cost Drivers Used per Activity
Sales commissions Dollar sales $0.05 per dollar sales $940,000
AdvertisingâTV Minutes $300 per minute 230
AdvertisingâInternet Column inches $10 per column inch 2,000
Catalogs Catalogs mailed $2.50 per catalog 62,400
Cost of catalog sales Catalog orders $1 per catalog order 8,750
Credit and collection Dollar sales $0.03 per dollar sales $940,000
Requied:
Compute the selling costs to be assigned to the "high-intensity" line of athletic wear for the month of March (1) using the traditional product costing system (direct materials cost is the cost driver), and (2) using activity-based costing.
Answer:
1. $276,500
2. $328,950
Explanation:
1. Computation for the selling costs to be assigned to the "high-intensity" line of athletic wear for the month of March using the traditional product costing system
Traditional product costing = $395,000 * 70%
Traditional product costing = $276,500
Therefore the selling costs to be assigned to the "high-intensity" line of athletic wear for the month of March using the traditional product costing system is $276,500
2. Computation for the selling costs to be assigned to the "high-intensity" line of athletic wear for the month of March using activity-based costing
Activity based costing :
Sales commissions ($940,000*$0.05) $47,000
Advertising - TV (230*$300) $69,000
Advertising - internet (2,000*$10) 20,000
Catalogs (62,400*$2.50) $156,000
Cost of catalog sales (8,750*$1) 8,750
Credit and collection ($940,000*$0.03) $28,200
Selling cost $328,950
Therefore the selling costs to be assigned to the "high-intensity" line of athletic wear for the month of March using activity-based costing is $328,950
Solutions Inc. signs a 10-year lease for a building owned by Property Inc. that is appropriately classified as an operating lease by both the lessee and lessor. Lease payments are $150,000 per year. The building has an estimated useful life of 30 years with no salvage value. Assume that the building has a fair and carrying value of $2,000,000 at the commencement of the lease, what amount would Property Inc. recognize in its income statement (ignoring taxes) for the year ended December 31, 2020
Answer: $83,333
Explanation:
Amount Property will recognize in income statement:
= Lease revenue - Depreciation
Depreciation:
= (Fair value - salvage) / useful life
= (2,000,000 - 0) / 30
= $66,667
Amount recognized in income statement:
= 150,000 - 66,667
= $83,333
Chrzan, Inc., manufactures and sells two products: Product E0 and Product N0. Data concerning the expected production of each product and the expected total direct labor-hours (DLHs) required to produce that output appear below: Expected Production Direct Labor-Hours Per Unit Total Direct Labor-Hours Product E0 340 9.4 3,196 Product N0 1,200 8.4 10,080 Total direct labor-hours 13,276 The company is considering adopting an activity-based costing system with the following activity cost pools, activity measures, and expected activity: Estimated Expected Activity Activity Cost Pools Activity Measures Overhead Cost Product E0 Product N0 Total Labor-related DLHs $ 298,390 3,196 10,080 13,276 Production orders orders 57,587 500 600 1,100 Order size MHs 581,866 5,200 4,900 10,100 $ 937,843 The activity rate for the Order Size activity cost pool under activity-based costing is closest to:
Answer:
Order size= $57.61 per machine hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Order size:
Estimated total overhead= $581,866
Estimated total machine hours= 10,100
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Order size= 581,866 / 10,100
Order size= $57.61 per machine hour

Clementine Company makes skateboards. They prepare master and flexible budgets and then perform variance analysis after the budget plan period elapses. Their data is as follows: Budget Actual Selling price per unit $96 $104 Variable cost per unit $52 $55 Quantity sold 996 1,024 What is the Clementine's volume variance for SALES? If the variance is unfavorable put a minus sign in front of your answer. Enter your answer without commas or decimals.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Sales volume variance is the difference between Budgeted quantity and actual quantity sold, multiplied by the standard profit margin. Standard profit margin is the excess of Budgeted selling price over actual selling price
Therefore,
Clementine's sales volume variance
= (BQ - AQS) × Standard profit margin
= (996 - 1,024) × ($96 - $52)
= -28 × -$44
= $1,232 F

Days to Sell
Answer:
Current Ratio 1.05
Receivable turnover days 129 days
Days to collect 2.83
Inventory Turnover days 38 days
Days to sell 9.61
Explanation:
Current Ratio : Total Current Assets / Total Current Liabilities
Current Ratio : 8,250,030 / 7,830,300 = 1.05
Receivable turnover days : ( Accounts Receivable / Total Sales ) * 365 days
Receivable turnover days : ( 4,730,000 / 13,340,300 ) * 365
Receivable turnover days : 129 days
Days to collect : 365 days / Accounts receivable turnover days
Days to collect : 365 / 129 days = 2.83
Inventory turnover days : ( Inventory / Cost of goods sold ) * 365
Inventory turnover days : ( 938,360 / 8,914,195 ) * 365
Inventory turnover days : 38 days
Days to sell : 365 days / Inventory turnover ratio
Days to sell : 365 / 38 days = 9.61
Suppose the economy is experiencing a recession. The output gap is hovering at −7%, causing higher than normal unemployment. Using the Fed model, complete the following passages to compare and contrast how monetary policy and fiscal policy can impact the economy. a. The Federal Reserve can reduce the to stimulate greater output and employment. The federal government can increase to help ease the recession. b. If both monetary and fiscal policy are used, the MP curve will shift , and the IS curve will shift to the . Both shifts will increase , and t
Answer:
a. The Federal Reserve can reduce the interest rates to stimulate greater output and employment. The federal government can increase government spending to help ease the recession.
The Fed can reduce interest rates by engaging in expansionary monetary policy that would then make it easier to borrow funds for investment. The Federal government can also increase spending as this will put more money into the economy to help it start moving again.
b. If both monetary and fiscal policy are used, the MP curve will shift downward, and the IS curve will shift to the right. Both shifts will increase income.
If both monetary and fiscal policy are used, companies will start producing again and hiring more people which will shift the Marginal Productivity curve downward. The IS curve will also shift to the right and both to these are indicators of an increase in income.

You have 40 years left until retirement and want to retire with $5 million. Your salary is paid annually, and you will receive $50,000 at the end of the current year. Your salary will increase at 3 percent per year, and you can earn a 10 percent return on the money you invest. If you save a constant percentage of your salary, what percentage of your salary must you save each year?
Answer:
16.67%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what percentage of your salary must you save each year
First step is to calculate the Annual savings
Annual savings=$5 million*[(10%-3%)/(1+0.1)^40-(1+0.03)^40]
Annual savings=$5 million*0.07/(1.1^40-1.03^40)
Annual savings=$8333.88
Now let determine the percentage of the salary you must save each year
Proportion of savings=$8333.88/$50,000
Proportion of savings=0.1667*100
Proportion of savings=16.67%
Therefore the percentage of your salary that you must save each year is 16.67%
