Assume the supply function of ice cream is written as: Qs = 100 + 20P - 5Pm, where Qs is the quantity supplied, P is the price of ice cream, and Pm is the price of milk ($/gallon). When the milk price is $10, the quantity supplied is 100. Suppose milk price decreased by 20% due to the policy change, how will the Qs change?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The Qs will increase by 460 units which also represents a 460% increase in Qs.

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculation of price of ice cream, P, when price is $10 and the quantity supplied is 100.

Given:

Qs = 100 + 20P - 5Pm ……………….. (1)

Where:

Qs = 100

P = ?

Pm = $10, or 10

Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for P, we have:

100 = 100 + 20P - (5 * 10)

100 = 100 + 20P - 50

100 - 100 + 50 = 20P

50 = 20P

P = 50 / 2 = 2.50

Step 2: Calculation of new Qs, Qs1, when milk price, Pm, decreased by 20%.

This implies that we have:

Qs1 = ?

P = 2.50

Pm = $10 * (100% - Percentage decrease in Pm) = $10 * (100% - 20%) = $8, or 8

Substituting the values into equation (1) in Step 1 above and Qs1 for Qs to calculate Qs1, we have:

Qs1 = 100 + (20 * 2.50) - (5 * 8)

Qs1 = 100 + 50 - 40

Qs1 = 110

Step 3: Calculation of change in the Qs when milk price, Pm, decreased by 20%.

Change in Qs expressed in unit = Qs1 - Qs = 110 - 100 = 10

Change in Qs expressed in percentage = ((Qs1 - Qs) / Qs) * 100 = ((110 - 100) / 100) * 100 = 10%

Therefore, the Qs will increase by 10 units which also represents a 10% increase in Qs.

Instead of investing a lump of sum of $25000,Brittany Royer decides to svae the money in a vault for 2years. Assuming the inflation being 2.5%per year,how much will her purchasing power decline in 2years

Answers

Answer:

$1265.63

Explanation:

Inflation is a persistent rise in the general price levels

Types of inflation

1. demand pull inflation – this occurs when demand exceeds supply. When demand exceeds supply, prices rise

2. cost push inflation – this occurs when the cost of production increases. This leads to a reduction in supply. Higher prices are the resultant effect  

Loss in purchasing value = future value of the amount saved - amount saved

The formula for calculating future value:

FV = P (1 + r)^n

FV = Future value  

P = Present value  

R = interest rate  

N = number of years

$25000 (1.025)² = $26.265.625

Amount lost = $26.265.625 - $25,000 = $1265.63

Best Brands Appliance Mart is getting ready for its annual Labor Day sale. There are two Best Brands stores, one in midtown Manhattan and another in Amityville. Merchandise is stored in two warehouses, one in Brooklyn and one in Baldwin. From experience in past years, the owners know the big mover during the sale is tablets. The Manhattan store needs 500, while the Amityville store will require 400. Each warehouse has 600 tablets in stock. It costs $1 and $2 to ship a tablet from Brooklyn to Manhattan and to Amityville, and $2 and $4 to ship one from Baldwin to Manhattan and Amityville. What is the best shipping strategy for getting the tablets from the warehouses into the stores to minimize the shipping cost?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

Assuming we represent x to be the tablets sent from Brooklyn to Manhattan

Thus, (500 - x) to be the tablets sent from Baldwin to Manhattan

Also, suppose we represent y to be the tablets sent from Brooklyn to Amityville

It implies that (400 - x) to be the tablets sent from Baldwin to Amityville

x ≥ 0 ; y ≥ 0  

⇒   500 - x ≥ 0  & 400 - y ≥ 0

The Shipping cost Z = 1(x) + 2(500-x) + 2(y) + 4(400-y)

Z = x + 1000 - 2x + 2y + 1600 - 4y

Z = x -2y + 2600

To minimize the shipping cost:

[tex]\left \{ 500-x \geq 0 \ \implies \ x\leq 500}} \atop {400-y \geq 0 \ \implies \ y\leq 400}} \right.[/tex]

Thus, by replacing the coordinate values (x,y) into Z, we have:

Point    Coordinates(x,y)    Value of Z (shipping cost)

0             (0,0)                             0

A             (0,400)                     1800

B             (500,400)                 1300

C             (500,0)                      2100

Hence, the minimum cost is 1300.

x = 500 units   and  y = 400 units

6. Guillermo and Nora adopted a little boy in 2020 and incurred a total of $18,000 qualified adoption expenses. Their modified AGI is $220,000. What is the amount of adoption credit they can take

Answers

Answer:

Guillermo and Nora

The amount of adoption credit that they can take is limited to:

= $14,300 in 2020.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Modified AGI of Guillermo and Nora = $220,000

Total amount of qualified adoption expenses incurred in 2020 = $18,000

Limit of adoption credit available to the couple in 2020 = $14,300

Lost adoption expenses = $3,700 ($18,000 - $14,300)

b) The couple will not be able to take adoption credit amounting to $3,700 because the amount they spent on adoption expenses exceeded the adoption credit limit for 2020.

In the interest formulas, a simple interest can be used in any of the single payment formulas as long as the 'n values correspond to the interest period?
A) True
B) False

Answers

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Apart from simple interest, compound interest can be used for single payments

the formula for compound interest is : future value - present value

The formula for calculating future value:

FV = P (1 + r)^n

FV = Future value  

P = Present value  

R = interest rate  

N = number of years  

The formula for simple interest : amount x time x interest rate

Assume that 1000 is to be received in 2 years at the interest rate of 10%

Simple interest = 1000 x 2 x 0.1 = 200

Compound interest

1000 x (1.1)^2 = 1210

1210 = 1000 = 210

The number of estimated hours for computing the fixed overhead application rate totaled 37,500 hours.

Required:
a. Prepare a variable overhead analysis.
b. Prepare a fixed overhead analysis.

Answers

Answer:

A. Variable overhead price variance 3400 U

Variable overhead efficiency variance 60000 F

Variable overhead cost variance 56600 F

B. Fixed overhead price variance 34000 U

Production volume variance 28000 U

Fixed overhead cost variance 62000 U

Explanation:

a. Preparation of a variable overhead analysis.

Variable overhead price variance = 3400 U

Calculation for Variable overhead efficiency variance

First step is to calculate the Actual input at standard rate

Actual input at standard rate = (34100*30)

Actual input at standard rate= 1023000

Second step is to calculate the Standard rate

Standard rate = 1083000/36100

Standard rate=30

Now let calculate Variable overhead efficiency variance

Variable overhead efficiency variance = (1083000-1023000)

Variable overhead efficiency variance = 60000 F

Calculation for Variable overhead cost variance

Variable overhead cost variance = (60000-3400)

Variable overhead cost variance= 56600 F

Therefore the variable overhead analysis will be:

Variable overhead price variance 3400 U

Variable overhead efficiency variance 60000 F

Variable overhead cost variance 56600 F

b. Preparation of a fixed overhead analysis.

Fixed overhead price variance = 34000 U

Calculation for Production volume variances

First step is to calculate Actual input at standard rate

Actual input at standard rate= 34100*30

Actual input at standard rate= 1023000

Second step is to calculate Fixed overhead actual

Fixed overhead actual= 1810400-(1023000+3400)

Fixed overhead actual= 784000

Third step is to calculate Budgeted fixed overhead

Budgeted fixed overhead = (784000-34000)

Budgeted fixed overhead = 750000

Fourth step is to calculate Fixed overhead applied

Fixed overhead applied= (750000/37500)*36100

Fixed overhead applied= 722000

Now let calculate Production volume variance

Production volume variance = (750000-722000) Production volume variance= 28000 U

Calculation to determine Fixed overhead cost variance

Fixed overhead cost variance = (28000+34000) Fixed overhead cost variance= 62000 U

Therefore fixed overhead analysis will be:

Fixed overhead price variance 34000 U

Production volume variance 28000 U

Fixed overhead cost variance 62000 U

Time value of money calculations can be solved using a mathematical equation, a financial calculator, or a spreadsheet. Which of the following equations can be used to solve for the future value of an ordinary annuity?
1) PMT x {1 – [1/(1 + r)nn]}/r
2) PMT x {[(1 + r)nn – 1]/r}
3) FV/(1 + r)nn
4) PMT x {[(1 + r)nn – 1]/r} x (1 + r)

Answers

Answer:

b.  PMT x {[(1 + r)nn – 1]/r}

Explanation:

The formula that should be calculated for the future value of an ordinary annuity is shown below:

= PMT × {[(1 + r)^n - 1] ÷ r}

Here

PMT denotes the coupon payment

r denotes the rate of interest

n denotes the time period

So as per the given situation, the option b is correct

D) Lebeaux's absorption costing income statement would show a gross margin of $330,000.
E) Lebeaux's absorption-costing income statement would show a gross margin of $145,000.

Answers

Answer:

B) Lebeaux's variable costing income statement would show a contribution margin of $330,000.

Explanation:

See below the Statements that are produced under Absorption and Variable Costing methods.

Absorption Costing

Sales revenue                                                        $750,000

Less Cost of goods sold :

Variable portion                           $370,000

Fixed portion                                  $110,000      ($480,000)

Gross Profit                                                            $270,000

Variable Costing

Sales revenue                                                                           $750,000

Less Variable Costs :

Variable portion - Cost of Sales                          $370,000

Variable selling and administrative costs            $50,000   ($420,000)

Contribution                                                                              $330,000

therefore,

The only correct statement is : Lebeaux's variable costing income statement would show a contribution margin of $330,000

Suppose a newly elected president cuts taxes by 20 percent: i. Assuming that the money supply is held constant, what are the new equilibrium interest rate and income

Answers

Answer: hello your question has some missing information below is the missing information

An economy is initially described by the following equations:

C = 80 + 0.8(Y – T)

I = 120 –5r

M/P = Y – 25r

G = 100

T = 100

M = 2,700

P = 3

answer :

equilibrium interest rate ( r ) = 5.6%

equilibrium level of income = 1040

Explanation:

a) New equilibrium interest rate

T = 100 - 20/100 ( 100 ) = 80

Y = C + I + G

   = 80 + 0.8( y - 80 ) + 120 - 5r + 100

   = 236 + 0.8y - 5r

y  = 1180 - 25r  ------ ( 1 )

M/P = Y - 25r = 2700 / 3

y = 900 + 25r ------- ( 2 )

equate;  equation ( 1 ) and equation ( 2 )

1180 - 25r = 900 + 25r

∴ r = 5.6%

b) Equilibrium level of Income

To determine Equilibrium level of income we will use equation2

Y = 900 + 25(5.6)  = 1040

XYZ Company uses a weighted-average process costing system. All materials at XYZ are added at the end of the production process. Equivalent units for materials at XYZ would be equal to:

Answers

Answer:

Equivalent units for materials at XYZ would be equal to the addition of units in beginning work in process and the units started.

Explanation:

A weighted-average process costing system refers to a process costing system in which expenses are averaged out and applied evenly to both units transferred out and units in ending work in process.

An equivalent unit of production is a measurement of the amount of work done by a manufacturer on partially completed units of output at the end of a fiscal period. In general, fully completed units and partially completed units are expressed as fully completed units.

When a weighted-average process costing system is being used, the equivalent units is obtained as the addition of units in beginning work in process and the units started.

Therefore, equivalent units for materials at XYZ would be equal to the addition of units in beginning work in process and the units started.

In order to calculate the amount of money needed to maintain a standard of living 20 years from now, you attempt to calculate an FV (20 years from now) of today's living expenses. What would be most appropriate for you to use as the interest rate?
Money market rate
Expected inflation rate
Average market rates of return
Average market return + inflation

Answers

Answer:

Expected inflation rate

Explanation:

Expected Inflation rate would be the most appropriate rate to use as interest rate in the calculation because it gives a somewhat accurate picture of how prices will behave in the coming years, and therefore, of how cost of living will evolve, and how much money will be needed to maintain your living standards 20 years from now.

Expected inflation is never a completely accurate measure though, and it can be sensitive to economic or political shocks, so it should be used with caution and keeping that in mind.

Lemon Corporation purchased a truck at the beginning of 2017 for $109,200. The truck is estimated to have a salvage value of $4,200 and a useful life of 120,000 miles. It was driven 21,000 miles in 2017 and 29,000 miles in 2018. What is the depreciation expense for 2017

Answers

Answer:

the depreciation expense for 2017 is $18,375

Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense for 2017 is shown below:

= (Truck cost - salvage value) ÷ useful life in miles × driven miles in year 2017

= ($109,200 - $4,200) ÷ 120,000 miles × 21,000 miles

= $18,375

Hence, the depreciation expense for 2017 is $18,375

Suppose that the turkey industry is in long-run equilibrium at a price of $5 per pound of turkey and a quantity of 400 million pounds per year. Suppose that WebMD claims that a protein found in turkey will increase your expected lifespan by 2 years. WebMD's claim will cause consumers to demand _____________turkey at every price.

Answers

Answer:

The "WebMD's claim will cause consumers to demand ______more_______turkey at every price."

Explanation:

Consumers will tend to demand more turkey in order to increase their expected lifespan by 2 years by consuming more of the protein found in turkey as claimed by WebMD.  This implies that there will a new equilibrium as the old equilibrium shifts outward to match the increased demand by consumers of turkey.  This claim may trigger demand and supply to exceed the annual 400 million pounds equilibrium at $5 per pound.

The boyish financial whiz he celebrated his 33rd birthday Jan. 11 listened as his 51-page report was read aloud to the nations solons at Federal Hall, at the intersection of Wall and Broad Streets. The document, dense with complex financial detail, left congressmen speechless. They wont stay that way for long. Hamiltons basic point is simple enough: States, like individuals, who observe their engagements that is, pay their debts are respected and trusted. But two of Hamiltons ideas about how the United States should pay its debts are sure to be controversial. Polls and economists call Hamiltons rst idea Assumption. The U.S. government took on a load of debt during the Revolutionary War. So did each of the 13 states. Some states have paid their debts off; others notably Massachusetts, lately the scene of Shays Rebellion are still struggling. Hamilton wants the U.S. government to assume all the state debts, and pay them off along with the national debt, to avoid the collision and confusion of different repayment schemes. Hamiltons second idea is Non-Discrimination. The largest class of creditors is Revolutionary War soldiers and officers, who were paid in certificates, or IOUs. (Military unhappiness with IOUs nearly caused a mutiny at Newburgh in 1783.) Over the years, many vets sold their certificates at a discount, in return for ready cash. Should the government discriminate between brave soldiers who hung on to their IOUs, and shrewd investors who snapped them up? Hamilton says no: fooling with the terms of repayment now would be a breach of contract. Where will the U.S. governments money come from? According to Sec. Hamilton, from tariffs and from an excise tax on distilled spirits. Investors have been guessing about Hamiltons intentions for months. New York is buzzing with rumors of ships and coaches full of money, headed for the South and the frontier to buy up the certificates of veterans who are clueless about what is happening in the nations capital. Critics will surely latch on to such stories to attack Sec. Hamiltons program. The man to watch: Rep. James Madison (Virginia) Sec. Hamiltons friend and ally during the ght to ratify the Constitution, but now said to be disturbed by both Assumption and NonDiscrimination. At the same time, Sec. Hamilton has powerful allies, none more powerful than his old boss, President George Washington.
