higher
eleanor
Darnell
Explanation:
A person has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other people.
A person has absolute advantage in the production of a good or service if it produces more quantity of a good when compared to other people
Darnell produces more quantities of Barley and Alfafa when compared to Eleanor. Darnell has a comparative advantage in the production of both commodities
Darnell's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of alfalfa = Barley produced / alfalfa produced = 40 / 8 = 5
Eleanor's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of alfalfa = 28 /7 = 4
Eleanor has a lower opportunity cost in producing alfalfa, thus she has a comparative advantage in producing alfalfa and Darnel has a comparative advantage in the production of barley
Superior Company has provided you with the following information before any year-end adjustments: Net credit sales are $131,750. Historical percentage of credit losses is 3%. Allowance for doubtful accounts has a credit balance of $400. Accounts receivables ending balance is $43,500. What is the estimated bad debt expense using the percentage of credit sales method
Answer:
$3,553
Explanation:
Credit losses = Net credit sales × Historical percentage of credit losses
= $131,750 × 3%
= $3,953
Allowance for doubtful account has a credit balance of $400
The estimated bad debt expense can therefore be calculated as:
Bad debt expense = Credit losses - Allowance for doubtful accounts credit balance
= $3,953 - $400
= $3,553
Hence, the estimated bad debt expense using the percentage of credit sales method is $3,553
Burns Industries currently manufactures and sells 11,000 power saws per month, although it has the capacity to produce 26,000 units per month. At the 11,000-unit-per-month level of production, the per-unit cost is $46, consisting of $30 in variable costs and $16 in fixed costs. Burns sells its saws to retail stores for $71 each. Allen Distributors has offered to purchase 4,100 saws per month at a reduced price. Burns can manufacture these additional units with no change in its present level of fixed manufacturing costs. Using an incremental analysis approach, Burns should consider accepting this special order only if the price per unit offered by Allen is at least: Multiple Choice $16. $46. $71. $30. qizket
Answer:
Selling price= $30
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Unitary cost:
Variable= $30
Fixed= $16
Number of units= 4,100
Normally, when there is unused capacity and a new customer asks for a reduced price, the fixed cost should not be taken into account when calculating the selling price. The company benefits from increasing its sales, acquiring a new customer, and perhaps getting some discounts from suppliers in the variable components.
The lower price that the company accepts is the one that equals the unitary variable cost. In this case:
Selling price= $30
Jessie purchased land as an investment on January 12, 2015 for $80,000. On January 31, 2020, Jessie sold the land for $33,000 cash. In addition, the purchaser assumed the mortgage of $70,000 on the land. What is the amount of the realized gain or loss on the sale
Answer:
$23,000 gain
Explanation:
In the given scenario the initial cost of purchase of the land by Jessie was $80,000
She finally sold the land for $33,000 cash and the purchaser also assumed a mortgage of $70,000.
That is a total sale price of 33,000 + 70,000 = $103,000
The gain on this transaction will be 103,000 - 80,000 = $23,000
Since part of the payment is in mortgage the gain is a long term capital gain for Jessie
On December 31, 2017, Dow Steel Corporation had 730,000 shares of common stock and 43,000 shares of 9%, noncumulative, nonconvertible preferred stock issued and outstanding. Dow issued a 5% common stock dividend on May 15 and paid cash dividends of $530,000 and $82,000 to common and preferred shareholders, respectively, on December 15, 2018.
On February 28, 2018, Dow sold 60,000 common shares. Also, as a part of a 2017 agreement for the acquisition of Merrill Cable Company, another 24,000 shares (already adjusted for the stock dividend) are to be issued to former Merrill shareholders on December 31, 2019, if Merrill's 2019 net income is at least $630,000. In 2018, Merrill's net income was $760,000.
In keeping with its long-term share repurchase plan, 2,000 shares were retired on July 1. Dow's net income for the year ended December 31, 2018, was $2,750,000. The income tax rate is 40%.
As part of an incentive compensation plan, Dow granted incentive stock options to division managers at December 31 of the current and each of the previous two years. Each option permits its holder to buy one share of common stock at an exercise price equal to market value at the date of grant and can be exercised one year from that date. Information concerning the number of options granted and common share prices follows:
Date Granted Options Granted Share Price
(adjusted for the stock dividend)
December 31, 2016 20,000 $ 32
December 31, 2017 15,000 $ 41
December 31, 2018 18,500 $ 40
The market price of the common stock averaged $40 per share during 2018.
On July 12, 2016, Dow issued $500,000 of convertible 10% bonds at face value. Each $1,000 bond is convertible into 50 common shares (adjusted for the stock dividend).
Required:
Compute Dow's basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2018. (Enter your answers in thousands.)
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Dow's basic earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2018 will be:
= Net Income - Preference Dividend / Basic Number of Shares
= ($2,750,000 - $82,000) / (730,000 × 1.05) + (60,000 × 10/12 × 1.05) - (2,000 × 6/12)
= $2,668,000 / 818,000
= $3.26
Therefore, Dow's basic earnings per share is $3.26.
Dow's diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2018 will be:
First we calculate the number of shares which will be:
= (20,000 × $32) / $40
= $6,40,000 $40
= 16,000 Shares
Solving further, the diluted earnings per share for the year will be:
= $2698000 / 888000
= $3.04
The diluted earnings per year is $3.04
Harrods PLC has a market value of £136 million and 4 million shares outstanding. Selfridge Department Store has a market value of £38 million and 2 million shares outstanding. Harrods is contemplating acquiring Selfridge. Harrods’s CFO concludes that the combined firm with synergy will be worth £194 million, and Selfridge can be acquired at a premium of £10 million. a. If Harrods offers 1.2 million shares of its stock in exchange for the 2 million shares of Selfridge, what will the stock price of Harrods be after the acquisition?
Answer:
the stock price after the acquisition is $37.30
Explanation:
The computation of the stock price after the acquisition is given below:
= Worth of combined synergy ÷ (outstanding shares = harrods shares)
= £194 million ÷ (4 million + 1.2 million)
= £194 million ÷ 5.2 million shares
= $37.30 per share
hence, the stock price after the acquisition is $37.30

A database management system (DBMS) can be defined as a collection of software applications that typically enables computer users to create, store, modify, retrieve and manage data or informations in a database. Generally, it allows computer users to efficiently retrieve and manage their data with an appropriate level of security.
A data dictionary can be defined as a centralized collection of information on a specific data such as attributes, names, fields and definitions that are being used in a computer database system.
In a data dictionary, data elements are combined into records, which are meaningful combinations of data elements that are included in data flows or retained in data stores.
This ultimately implies that, a data dictionary found in a computer database system typically contains the records about all the data elements (objects) such as data relationships with other elements, ownership, type, size, primary keys etc. This records are stored and communicated to other data when required or needed.
A law can be defined as the system of principles, regulations and rules established by legislature, that is adopted in a community, society or country to regulate the actions of its citizens, members or employees.
Thus, law is a tool used by the judiciary, lawyers, individuals, organizations, and even government to ensure everybody is well behaved, non-criminal and civil in their actions. Therefore, a law creates the foundation for ethical behavior and orderliness in a society.
Data disposal laws require businesses to destroy customer data and maintain reasonable security procedures to guard against theft. Thus, any customer data collected by a business firm should be protected securely and discarded when no longer in use.

NPV = $302,387
PV of cash flows = $1,552,387
Amount invested = $1,250,000
Explanation:
Average rate of return = net income / amount invested
Net income = cash flow - depreciation
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
1,250,000 / 8 = 156,250
Net income = $312,500 - 156,250 = $156250
(156250 / $1,250,000) x 100 = 12.50%
Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows
Payback period = Amount invested / cash flow
$1,250,000 / $312,500 = 4 years
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-1,250,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 8 = $312,500
I = 12%
NPV = $302,387
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

c. the average length of time between when a firm pays cash to purchase its initial inventory and when it sells that product
d. the average length of time between when a firm originally purchases its inventory and when it sells the product produced from that inventory
Answer:
he average length of time between when a firm pays cash to purchase its initial inventory and when it receives cash from the sale of the product produced from that inventory
Explanation:
A firm's cash cycle measure the time required for a company to go from cash paid (used in its operations) to cash received (as a result of operations)
It is an example of a liquidity ratio
Liquidity ratios measure the ability of a firm to meet its short term obligations
Cash cycle = days of inventory on hand + days of sales outstanding - number of days of payable
the shorter the cash cycle, the more liquid the firm is and the better for the firm

Therefore The numbers of cards that should be used to govern this production is 6
Jason, Ellen and Frank are business partners. Each of them handles a separate area of the partnership's business. They periodically have partners' meeting where they report to each other on the financial status of their areas and discuss potential new business. Jason's area of business has recently become extremely profitable, and Ellen and Frank are so happy with the new financials that they have not closely questioned Jason about the details especially since the partners continue to receive an equal share of the business profits each of them brings in. Ellen and Frank are shocked when the FBI comes to the office one Friday afternoon and arrest Jason. The FBI also informs Ellen and Frank that the office equipment is being seized and the partnership bank accounts have been frozen. Which of the following is a correct statement of the law?
a. Both Ellen and Frank can face criminal prosecution because the business was operated as a partnership.
b. Ellen and Frank will not be liable for Frank's conduct because Frank independently operated his area of the business.
c. Ellen and Frank should immediately file a Notice of Dissociation so that they will not be liable for Jason's conduct.
d. By not closely questioning Jason about his area of the business, Ellen and Frank will be seen to have ratified Jason's partnership operations.
Answer:
d. By not closely questioning Jason about his area of the business, Ellen and Frank will be seen to have ratified Jason's partnership operations.
Explanation:
Because Ellen and frank are partners with Jason, they would also both be liable for Franks conduct because the three of them are business partners and have shared profits equally in Jasons area of the business without paying attention to details about the source of the profit. This would make it seem like they were in agreement and accomplices with Jason.
The Cluck-Cluck Corp. starts the year with a beginning inventory of 480 units at $23 per unit. The company purchases 590 units at $40 each in February and 560 units at $24 each in October. Cluck-Cluck sells 240 units during the year. Cluck-Cluck has a periodic inventory system and uses the FIFO inventory costing method. What is the amount of cost of goods sold
Answer:
the amount of the cost of goods sold is $5,520
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of goods sold is shown below;
= Unit sold × beginning inventory cost per unit
= 240 units × $23
= $5,520
By multiplying the unit sold with the beginning inventory cost per unit we can get the cost of goods sold
Hence, the amount of the cost of goods sold is $5,520

Yolo Company, which has excess capacity (i.e. it doesn't have to give up producing and selling products in the normal market if it accepts a special order), received a special order for 4,500 units at a price of $16 per unit. Currently, production and sales are anticipated to be 11,000 units without considering the special order. Budget information for the current year follows. Sales $ 231,000 Less: Cost of Goods Sold 165,000 Gross Margin $ 66,000 Cost of goods sold includes $44,000 of fixed manufacturing cost. If the special order is accepted, the company's income will:
Answer:
$22,500 increase
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Variable cost per unit is
= ($165,000 - $44,000) ÷ 11,000 units
= $11
And, the Sales price per unit is $16
So, the Profit per unit is
= $16 - $11
= $5 per unit
Now the company income would be
= 4,500 units × $5 per unit
= $22,500 increase
Hence, the company income would be increased by $22,500

The equipment has a zero disposal value. In a senior management meeting, Maria Lopez, the management accountant at Sanchez Corporation, makes the following comment, "Sanchez can increase its profitability by closing down the Rhode Island store or by adding another store like it."
1. By closing down the Rhode Island store, Sanchez can reduce overall corporate overhead costs by $44,000. Calculate Sanchez’s operating income if it closes the Rhode Island store. Is Maria Lopez’s statement about the effect of closing the Rhode Island store correct? Explain.
2. Calculate Sanchez’s operating income if it keeps the Rhode Island store open and opens another store with revenues and costs identical to the Rhode Island store (including a cost of $22,000 to acquire equipment with a one-year useful life and zero disposal value). Opening this store will increase corporate overhead costs by $4,000. Is Maria Lopez’s statement about the effect of adding another store like the Rhode Island store correct? Explain.

Assume that a profit-maximizing firm which competes in a purely competitive product industry has only two factor inputs, labor and capital, and that resource prices remain constant. This firm finds that the marginal revenue product of labor (MRP) when divided by the price for labor (MRC) is less than one. The firm also finds that the marginal revenue product for capital (MRP) when divided by the price (MRC) is greater than one. If this firm wishes to produce the same amount of output with these two resources, but minimize the cost of output, this firm must employ:________
a. less labor and more capital
b. more capital
c. more labor and capital
d. less labor
e. more labor and less capital
Answer: a. less labor and more capital
Explanation:
When the Marginal Revenue Product of Labor (MRP) is divided by the price for labor (MRC), the result is less than 1. This means that for every dollar spent on labor, labor produces less than a dollar. The labor is therefore not efficient.
This is the reverse for capital where the marginal revenue product for capital (MRP) when divided by the price (MRC) is greater than one which means that for every dollar investment in capital, more than a dollar is made.
As capital is more efficient, it would make sense to invest more in capital whilst reducing the investment in labor as this would lead to more gain for the company.

Answer:
its cost is least in terms of alternative goods that might otherwise be produced
Explanation:
Comparative Advantage
This is simply explained as when an individual has an opportunity cost of performing a task is lower than the other individuals opportunity cost that is it is more efficient. It is the usual fundamental basis for international trade.
