Answer:
1. decrease, $ 3 million, decrease, $ 15 million
2. TRUE
3. TRUE
Explanation:
1. The reverse requirement is given as r = 0.2
The money multiplier is [tex]$\frac{1}{r}=\frac{1}{0.2}=5$[/tex]
Now when the monetary base is changed by $3 million, then the total money supply will change by [tex]$\frac{3}{0.2}= \$ 15 \ mn$[/tex].
Of the $ 15 mn, the reverse will change by $ 15 mn x 0.2 = $ 3 mn.
If Fed sells the government bond of $ 3 million, then the money supply will reduce and the economy's reverses will decrease by $ 3 million and the money supply will decrease by $ 15 million.
2. TRUE
Now if the bank reduces the reserve ratio but he bank maintains excess reserves, then the money multiplier = [tex]$\frac{1}{(r+e)}=\frac{1}{0.15+0.05}=5$[/tex]
Therefore, the money multiplier will remain same, it will remain unchanged.
3. TRUE.
Since the money multiplier remains constant, the overall change in money supply will not increase. It remains the same.
Presented below is selected information for three regional divisions of Medina Company.
Divisions
North West South
Contribution margin $299,200 $499,600 $400,900
Controllable margin $139,500 $360,000 $211,500
Average operating assets $930,000 $2,000,000 $1,410,000
Minimum rate of return 12% 14% 9%
Required:
a. Compute the return on investment for each division.
b. Compute the residual income for each division.
Answer:
a. Return on investment = Controllable margin / Average operating assets
North Division:
= 139,500 / 930,000
= 15%
West Division:
= 360,000 / 2,000,000
= 18%
South:
= 211,500 / 1,410,000
= 15%
b. Residual income = Controllable margin - (Average operating assets * Minimum rate of return)
North division:
= 139,500 - (930,000 * 12%)
= $27,900
West division:
= 360,000 - (2,000,000 * 14%)
= $80,000
South division:
= 211,500 - (1,410,000 * 9%)
= $84,600

Latasha's Performance Pizza is a small restaurant in San Francisco that sells gluten-free pizzas. Latasha's very tiny kitchen has barely enough room for the two ovens in which her workers bake the pizzas. Latasha signed a lease obligating her to pay the rent for the two ovens for the next year. Because of this, and because Latasha's kitchen cannot fit more than two ovens, Latasha cannot change the number of ovens she uses in her production of pizzas in the short run.
However, Latasha's decision regarding how many workers to use can vary from week to week because her workers tend to be students. Each Monday, Latasha lets them know how many workers she needs for each day Of the week, In the short run, these workers are __________inputs, and the ovens are ___________ Inputs.
Answer: variable; fixed
Explanation:
In the short run, these workers are variable inputs, and the ovens are fixed Inputs.
In the short run, variable inputs in production can be changed to adapt to the changing economic conditions while fixed inputs cannot. In the long run however, all inputs are variable and so can be changed.
As this is the short run and the workers can be changed, they are the variable inputs.
The ovens however, cannot be changed so the ovens are the fixed inputs.

Given the description of the firm below, decide whether it applies to monopolistic competition, perfect competition, or both.
a. a firm that produces with excess capacity in the long run
b. a firm that has market power
c. a firm that sets greater than marginal
d. a firm that earns zero economic profit in the long
Answer:
Perfect Competition
d. a firm that earns zero economic profit in the long
In the long run, firms will keep entering and exiting the market in a perfect competition such that there will be no economic profit to be gained.
Monopolistic Competition
a. a firm that produces with excess capacity in the long run
b. a firm that has market power
c. a firm that sets price greater than marginal cost.
Monopolistic competition has excess capacity in the long run because their prices are set at a higher level than the marginal revenue. They are therefore producing more goods than they are selling leading to excess capacity.
Monopolistic competition has some form of market power as well because they get to set their own prices.

Azule Co. manufactures in two sequential processes, cutting and binding. The two departments report the information below for a recent month. Cutting Binding Beginning work in process Transferred in from cutting dept. $ 1,200 Direct materials $ 1,095 2,862 Conversion 3,650 3,800 Costs added during March Direct materials $ 13,740 $ 9,332 Conversion 18,300 19,475 Transferred in from cutting dept. 17,395 Transferred to finished goods 31,000 Determine the ending balances in the Work in Process Inventory accounts of each department.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the ending balance in the work in process inventory for each department is shown below:
For Cutting department
= Direct material + conversion + cost added for direct material + cost added for conversion - transferred in from cutting department
= $1,095 + $3,650 + $13,740 + $18,300 - $17,395
= $19,390
And, for binding department
= Transferred in from cutting department Direct material + conversion + cost added for direct material + cost added for conversion - transferred to finished goods
= $1,200 + $2,862 + $3,800 + $9,332 + $19,475 - $31,000
= $5,669

Calculation of Ending Units
Beginning Inventory 955
Add Production 2,390
Total Available for Sale 3,345
Less Sales (3000)
Ending Inventory 345
Variable Costs Calculations
Product Cost = Variable Manufacturing costs
= $25 + $20 + $1
= $46
Cost of Sales = units sold x product cost
= 3,000 x $46
= $138,000
Absorption Cost Calculation
Product Cost = Variable Manufacturing costs
= $25 + $20 + $1 + ($64,530 / 2,390)
= $25 + 20 + $ 1 + $27
= $73
Cost of Sales = units sold x product cost
= 3,000 x $73
= $219,000

Smelling of Tulips, Inc., a perfume company, estimated its short-run costs using a U-shaped average variable cost function of the form and obtained the following results. Total fixed cost (TFC) at S.T. Inc. is $1290. Adjusted R Square 0.809 Coefficients Standard Error t Stat P-value Intercept 47.66 3.29 14.49 0.0001 Q -4.67 0.72 -6.48 0.0000 Q^2 0.26 0.03 7.79 0.0000 a. What level of output (Q) is associated with the minimum AVC
Answer:
The level of output (Q) is associated with the minimum AVC is 8.98.
Explanation:
The following sorted data are given in the question:
Adjusted R Square 0.809
Coefficients Standard Error t Stat P-value
Intercept 47.66 3.29 14.49 0.0001
Q -4.67 0.72 -6.48 0.0000
Q^2 0.26 0.03 7.79 0.0000
From the regression results above, the regression equation for AVC can be obtained as follows:
AVC = Coefficient of intercept + Coefficient of Q * Q + Coefficient of Q^2 * Q^2 …………. (1)
Substituting the relevant values into equation (1), we have:
AVC = 47.66 – 4.67Q + 0.26Q^2
Differentiate AVC with respect to Q, equating it to 0, and solve for Q, we have:
dAVC/dQ = -4.67 + (2 * 0.26)Q = 0
4.67 = 0.52Q
Q = 4.67 / 0.52
Q = 8.98
Therefore, the level of output (Q) is associated with the minimum AVC is 8.98.
Summersville Production Company had the following projected information for the current year: Selling price per unit $150 Variable cost per unit $90 Total fixed costs $300,000 What level of sales dollars is needed to obtain a target before-tax profit of $75,000
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 6,250
Explanation:
Giving the following formula:
selling price per unit $150
Variable cost per unit $90
Total fixed costs $300,000
Desired profit $75,000
To calculate the number of units to be sold, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (300,000 + 75,000) / (150 - 90)
Break-even point in units= 6,250
In its first year, Barsky Corporation made charitable contributions totaling $30,000. The corporation's taxable income before any charitable contribution deduction was $250,000. In its second year, Barsky made charitable contributions of $15,000 and earned taxable income before the contribution deduction of $300,000. Assume neither year is 2020. Required: Compute Barsky's allowable charitable contribution deduction and its final taxable income for its first year. Compute Barsky's allowable charitable contribution deduction and its final taxable income for its second year
Answer:
Year 1:
total income before charitable contributions = $250,000
limit on charitable contributions = $250,000 x 10% = $25,000
taxable income after charitable contributions = $250,000 - $25,000 = $225,000
charitable contributions carried forward = $30,000 - $25,000 = $5,000
Year 2:
total income before charitable contributions = $300,000
limit on charitable contributions = $300,000 x 10% = $30,000
taxable income after charitable contributions = $300,000 - $15,000 - $5,000 = $280,000

Superior Inc. is starting a new project. It plans to develop an online platform that allows for 3D printing of online purchases. This would effectively reduce the online purchases' delivery times to minutes. It expects this new product to be a great success and bring rapidly growing profits in the first few years. After that, it expects the competition to kick in which will reduce the growth of annual profits. The dividends on Superior Inc.'s shares will be growing accordingly. Here is the exact schedule of expected future dividends:
Most recently paid dividend is $4.
Expected annual growth rate of dividends for the first 3 years is 50%.
Expected annual growth rate of dividends after that is 10%.
Discount rate for this company is 15%.
Required:
Calculate the price per share of stock of Superior Inc.
Answer:
P0 = $216.18147448015 rounded off to $216.18
Explanation:
The dividend discount model (DDM) can be used to calculate the price of the stock today. DDM calculates the price of a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under DDM is,
P0 = D1 / (1+r) + D2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + Dn / (1+r)^n + [(Dn * (1+g) / (r - g)) / (1+r)^n]
Where,
D1, D2, ... , Dn is the dividend expected in Year 1,2 and so on g is the constant growth rate in dividends r is the discount rate or required rate of return
P0 = 4 * (1+0.5) / (1+0.15) + 4 * (1+0.5)^2 / (1+0.15)^2 +
4 * (1+0.5)^3 / (1+0.15)^3 + [(4 * (1+0.5)^3 * (1+0.1) / (0.15 - 0.1)) / (1+0.15)^3]

In recent years, exports have accounted for approximately 12% of GDP, while imports have more than tripled to over 15% of GDP. Which of the following help to explain the increase in international trade and finance since the 1950s?
a. Better high-speed rail lines.
b. An increasing number of import quotas.
c. Services such as web conferencing and teleconferencing that facilitate international meetings.
d. International trade agreements that lower tariffs and import quotas.
Answer:
a. Better high-speed rail lines.
c. Services such as web conferencing and teleconferencing that facilitate international meetings.
d. International trade agreements that lower tariffs and import quotas.
Explanation:
Better high-speed rails have improved the speed and capacity to carry goods across countries thereby enabling imports to be done with more ease. This has increased both the exports to and imports for other countries.
Information Technology has also grown to the point where international meetings can be had online which means that trade agreements and contracts can be completed quickly and with more convenience so more trade is happening between companies in the U.S. and other nations.
Also international trade agreements like the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), have lowered tariffs such that it is cheaper to both export and import than it was so both measures grew.
In the sales comparison approach, how is the appropriate unit of comparison chosen?
a. Price per square foot is always used.
b. Price per square foot is used except for hotels, for which the price per room is used.
c. It depends on the appraisal problem. The appraiser should apply all appropriate units of comparison, explain differences in wide variation in the results, and choose the most reliable unit.
d. It depends on the extent to which each comparable property differs from the subject property.
Answer:
c. It depends on the appraisal problem. The appraiser should apply all appropriate units of comparison, explain differences in wide variation in the results, and choose the most reliable unit.
Explanation:
The three (3) main methods used for the valuation or appraisal of real-estate properties are;
I. Income approach.
II. Cost approach.
III. Sales comparison approach.
A sales comparison approach can be defined as a real-estate appraisal technique that is typically based on comparing a property to other recently sold real-estate properties with similar characteristics. Thus, this appraisal method or technique requires that the real-estate property being appraised should be in current use and fall within the same area or locality as the other recently sold real-estate properties.
In the sales comparison approach, the appraised property should mimic the market behavior of other real-estate properties sold recently.
Troy Engines, Ltd., manufactures a variety of engines for use in heavy equipment. The company has always produced all of the necessary parts for its engines, including all of the carburetors. An outside supplier has offered to sell one type of carburetor to Troy Engines, Ltd., for a cost of $36 per unit. To evaluate this offer, Troy Engines, Ltd., has gathered the following information relating to its own cost of producing the carburetor internally:
Per Unit 20,000 Units Per Year
Direct materials $17 $340,000
Direct labor 10 200,000
Variable manufacturing overhead 2 40,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead, traceable 9 180,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead, allocated 12 240,000
Total cost $50 604,000

Assume that direct labor is a variable cost. The special order would have no effect on the company's total fixed manufacturing overhead costs. The customer would like modifications made to product S47 that would increase the variable costs by $2.00 per unit and that would require an investment of $15,000.00 in special molds that would have no salvage value. This special order would have no effect on the company's other sales. The company has ample spare capacity for producing the special order. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of accepting this special order should be:
Answer:
$5,370
Explanation:
Missing word: "A customer has requested that Lewelling Corporation fill a special order for 2,100 units of product S47 for $26 a unit. While the product would be modified slightly for the special order, product S47's normal unit product cost is $19.20:
Direct materials $5.70, Direct labor 3.00, Variable manufacturing overhead 2.80, Fixed manufacturing overhead 7.70, Unit product cost $19.20"
Incremental analysis
Incremental revenue (2100*26) $54,600
Incremental cost
Direct material (2100*$5.7) $11,970
Direct labor (2,100*$3) $6,300
Variable manuf. overhead (2,100*$80) $5,880
Additional cost (2100*$2.00) $4,200
Special molds $15,000
Total incremental cost $49,230
Incremental profit (loss) $5,370
The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of accepting this special order should be $5,370.

Cook Company processes and packages frozen seafood. The year just ended was Cook's first year of business and they are preparing financial statements. The immediate issue facing Cook is the treatment of the direct labor costs. Cook set a standard at the beginning of the year that allowed two hours of direct labor for each unit of output. The standard rate for direct labor is $27 per hour. During the year, Cook processed 60,000 units of seafood for the year, of which 4,800 units are in ending finished goods. (There are no work-in-process inventories). Cook used 123,500 hours of labor. Total direct labor costs paid by Cook for the year amounted to $3,087,500.
Required:
a. What was the direct labor price variance and the direct labor efficiency variance for the year?
b. Assume Cook writes off all variances to Cost of Goods Sold. Prepare the entries Cook would make to record and close out the variances.
c. Assume Cook prorates all variances to the appropriate accounts. Prepare the entries Cook would make to record and close out the variances.
Answer:
Cook Company
a. The direct labor price variance and the direct labor efficiency variance for the year:
Direct labor price variance = (Actual rate - Standard rate) * Actual hours
= $247,000 Favorable
Efficiency variance = (Actual hours - Standard hours) * Standard rate
= $94,500 Unfavorable
b. If all variances are written off to the Cost of Goods Sold:
Journal Entries:
Debit Work in Process $247,000
Credit Direct labor variance $247,000
To record the favorable direct labor price variance.
Debit Direct labor variance $94,500
Credit Work in Process $94,500
To record the unfavorable direct labor efficiency variance.
Debit Direct labor variance $152,500
Credit Cost of Goods Sold $152,500
To close the direct labor price variance.
c. The appropriate accounts are not indicated, though they should be Raw materials, Work in Process, and Cost of Goods Sold. However, the ratios are not given for prorating.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Standard direct labor hours per unit = 2
Standard rate per direct labor hour = $27
Production units = 60,000
Ending Finished goods = 4,800
Cost of goods sold units = 55,200
Actual direct labor hours used = 123,500
Standard hours = 120,000 (2 * 60,000)
Actual direct labor costs = $3,087,500
Actual direct labor price = $25 ($3,087,500/123,500)
Standard direct labor costs = $3,240,000 (120,000 * $27)
a. The direct labor price variance and the direct labor efficiency variance for the year:
Direct labor price variance = (Actual rate - Standard rate) * Actual hours
= ($25 - $27) * 123,500
= $247,000 Favorable
Efficiency variance = (Actual hours - Standard hours) * Standard rate
= (123,500 - 120,000) * $27
= $94,500 Unfavorable
b. If all variances are written off to the Cost of Goods Sold:
Analysis of Journal Entries:
Work in Process $247,000 Direct labor variance $247,000
Direct labor variance $94,500 Work in Process $94,500
Direct labor variance $152,500 Cost of Goods Sold $152,500
($247,000 - $94,500)

Brief Exercise 18-5 a1-a2 Ivanhoe Corp. has collected the following data concerning its maintenance costs for the past 6 months. Units Produced Total Cost July 18,700 $39,712 August 33,344 50,016 September 37,512 57,310 October 22,924 40,126 November 41,680 77,629 December 39,596 64,604 (a1) Compute the variable cost per unit using the high-low method.
Answer:
a, the variable cost per unit using the high-low method is $1.65
Explanation:
a. The computation of the variable cost per unit using the high low method is shown below:
= (HIgh cost - low cost) ÷ (high units - low units)
= ($77,629 - $39,712) ÷ (41,680 units - 18,700 units)
= ($37,917) ÷ (22,980 units)
= $1.65
Hence, the variable cost per unit using the high-low method is $1.65
The same would be considered by applying the above formula so that the correct value could come
