Alternatives Airport at X Airport at Y
Buy land at X 6 -14
Buy land at Y -21 12
Buy land at X and Y -15 -2
Do nothing 0 0
probability 0.55 0.45
Payoff if you buy land at X = (0.55 x 6) + (0.45 x -) = -3
Payoff if you buy land at Y = (0.55 x -21) + (0.45 x 12) = -6.15
Payoff if you buy land at X and Y = (0.55 x -15) + (0.45 x -2) = -9.15
Payoff for doing nothing = 0
The best option is simply doing nothing. The risks are too high, the potential losses are very large and the benefits are really low.
1. Accrual accounting is used by the vast majority of companies. *
O
True
O False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
The accrual accounting system is one of the two methods of reporting or recording income and expenses. The other way is the cash system.
In the accrual method, income and expenses are accounted for when they were earned or incurred regardless of whether money changed hands. Sales are reported when goods are delivered, and the invoice is issued even if the customer has not paid.
The accrual system is the standard method of operating for many businesses, big and small. The accrual method matches revenue and income with the time of their respective economic events. The general accounting principles recommend the accrual accounting system for both the private and public sectors.

Alan inherited $100,000 with the stipulation that he "invest it to financially benefit his family." Alan and his wife Alice decided they would invest the inheritance to help them accomplish two financial goals: purchasing a Park City vacation home and saving for their son Cooper’s education.
Vacation Home Cooper’s Education
Initial investment $50,000 $50,000
Investment horizon 5 years 18 years
Alan and Alice have a marginal income tax rate of 32 percent (capital gains rate of 15 percent) and have decided to investigate the following investment opportunities.
Required:
Determine the two annual after-tax rate of return.
Answer:
the question is missing the information about potential investments, so I looked for a similar one:
5 Years 18 Years
Corporate bonds 5.75% 4.75%
(ordinary interest taxed annually)
Dividend-paying stock 3.50% 3.50%
(no appreciation and dividends are taxed at 15%)
Growth stock FV $65,000 FV $140,000
Municipal bond (tax-exempt) 3.20% 3.10%
Alan and Alice should invest in growth stocks since they yield the highest after tax return:
5 years:
FV of growth stocks = $65,000
taxable gain = $65,000 -$50,000 = $15,000 x 15% = $2,250
net gain = $15,000 - $2,250 = $12,750
to determine the yield rate we can use the future value formula:
62,750 = 50,000 x (1 + r)⁵
(1 + r)⁵ = 62,750 / 50,000 = 1.255
⁵√(1 + r)⁵ = ⁵√1.255
1 + r = 1.046
r = 4.6% after tax yield per year
18 years:
FV of growth stocks = $140,000
taxable gain = $140,000 -$50,000 = $90,000 x 15% = $13,500
net gain = $90,000 - $13,500 = $76,500
to determine the yield rate we can use the future value formula:
126,500 = 50,000 x (1 + r)¹⁸
(1 + r)¹⁸ = 126,500 / 50,000 = 2.53
¹⁸√(1 + r)¹⁸ = ¹⁸√2.53
1 + r = 1.053
r = 5.3% after tax yield per year
You are in the business of producing and selling snow shovels, and you need to determine how many shovels should be produced during each of the next four quarters to meet the following demands: 11,000 shovels in quarter 1; 48,000 shovels in quarter 2; 64,000 shovels in quarter 3; and 15,000 shovels in quarter 4.
Due to labor limitations, at most 65,000 shovels can be produced in any one quarter at a cost of $5/shovel. Additionally, a fixed cost of $30,000 must be paid for any quarter in which shovels are produced. You may assume that any shovels produced during a quarter can be used to satisfy demand for that quarter. At the end of the quarter, a holding cost of $0.50 per shovel in inventory is incurred. Currently, you have no shovels in inventory.
Required:
Formulate an integer-linear program to determine a production schedule that minimizes the sum of production and inventory costs over the next four quarters.
Answer:
Quarter Production
Q1 11000
Q2 62000
Q3 65000
Q4 0
This will generate lower production and inventory cost as it savesthe fixed cost of 30,000 if we produce in the fourth quarter.
Explanation:
First, we construct the formula for the relevant cost:
Holding Cost: $0.50 per shovel
$0.50 x 2 x (Q2-48,000) + $0.50 x (Q1-11,000) = Holding Cost Q2
$0.50 x 1 x (Q3-64,000) = Holding Cost Q3
First, the restrictions:
P1 P2 P3 P4 are Integer
P1 < 65,000
P2 < 65,000
P3 < 65,000
P4 < 65,000
Then, we have the inventory formulas:
I1 = P1 - S1
I2 = P2 + I1 -S2
I3 = P3 + I2 - S3
I4 = P4 + I3 - S4
The holding cost
H1 = I1 x 0.50
H2 = I2 x 0.50
H3 = I3 x 0.50
H4 = I4 x 0.50
The fixed cost
if P1> 0 then FC1 = 30,000
if P2> 0 then FC2 = 30,000
if P3> 0 then FC3 = 30,000
if P4> 0 then FC4 = 30,000
And last,the total cost:
FC1 + H1 +FC2 + H2 +FC3 + H3 +FC4 + H4 = Total Cost
This is the formula we want to minimize

Direct labor hours (plan based on output) 4,000
Machine hours (actual) 21,600
Machine hours (plan based on output) 21,000
Fixed overhead $101,200
Variable overhead $214,000
Nanjones’ variable overhead spending variance for November was:
a. $6,000 favorable.
b. $2,000 favorable.
c. $14,000 unfavorable.
d. $6,000 unfavorable.
Answer:
Variable manufacturing overhead spending variance= $2,000 favorable
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 2,400,000 / 240,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $10 per machine hour
To calculate the variable overhead spending variance, we need to use the following formula:
Variable manufacturing overhead spending variance= (standard rate - actual rate)* actual quantity
Variable manufacturing overhead spending variance= (15 - 214,000/21,600)*21,600
Variable manufacturing overhead spending variance= $2,000 favorable
The Nanjones' variable overhead spending variance for November is a. $6,000 favorable.
Data and Calculations:
Planning Data Actual Data Variances
Annual November November
Fixed overhead $1,200,000 $100,000 $101,200 $1,200 U
Variable overhead $2,400,000 $220,000 $214,000 $6,000 F
Direct labor hours 48,000 4,000 4,200 200 U
Machine hours 240,000 22,000 21,600 400 F
Thus, the Nanjones' variable overhead spending variance for November is the difference between planned expenses and actual expenses, which is $6,000 ($214,000 - $220,000) favorable.

Consider an economy described by the following equations:
Y=C+I+G
C=120+0.8×(Y−T)
I=500−50×r G=150
T=125
where Y is GDP, C is consumption, I is investment, G is government purchases, T is taxes, and r is the interest rate. If the economy were at full employment (that is, at the natural rate of output), GDP would be $2,850.
Identify the equation(s) each of the following statements describes.
a. It is a function of disposable income.
b. It depends on the interest rate.
The marginal propensity to consume in this economy is:____________ .
Suppose the central bank's policy is to adjust the money supply to maintain the interest rate at 3%, so r = 3. When the interest rate is 3%, GDP is __________$ .
GDP at an interest rate of 3% is the full-employment level.
a. True
b. False
Assuming no change in monetary policy, (a decrease, an increase) in government purchases by ____ would restore GDP to the full-employment level. (Note: Assume that such change in fiscal policy has no crowding-out effect.) Assuming no change in fiscal policy, (a decrease. an increase) in the interest rate by ___ would restore GDP to the full-employment level.
Answer:
Consumption c is a function of disposable income
Investment I is a function of interest rate
Marginal propensity to consume equals 0.8
If this 3, I = investment
= 500-(3*50)
= 500-150
= 350
We have Y= C+I+G
Y = 120+0.8(Y-125)+350+150
Y = 120+0.8Y-100+350+150
Y-0.8Y = 120-100+350+150
0.2Y = 520
Y = 520/0.2
Y = 2600
GDP and interest rate falls below full employment
If there is no change in monetary policy an increase in government purchases by 50dollars takes gdp back to full employment
If no change in fiscal policy when interest rate decreases by 1.4% God goes back to full employment.

Midland Petroleum is holding a stockholders’ meeting next month. Ms. Ramsey is the president of the company and has the support of the existing board of directors. All 12 members of the board are up for reelection. Mr. Clark is a dissident stockholder. He controls proxies for 42,001 shares. Ms. Ramsey and her friends on the board control 52,001 shares. Other stockholders, whose loyalties are unknown, will be voting the remaining 24,998 shares. The company uses cumulative voting.
Required:
a. How many directors can Mr. Clark be sure of electing?
b. How many can Ms Rmasey be sure of electing
c. How many votes could clark have if he had all the uncommitted votes
d. Does that give him control?
e. If nine directors were to be elected, and Ms. Ramsey and her friends had 70,001 shares and Mr. Clark had 48,001 shares plus half the uncommitted votes, how many directors could Mr. Clark elect?
Answer:
Midland Petroleum
a. Mr. Clark can be sure of electing = 4 directors
b. Ms Ramsey can be sure of electing = 5 directors
c. If Mr. Clark had all the uncommitted votes, he can elect = 7 directors
d. With 7 directors, he has control.
e. Mr. Clark can elect (60,50/143,000 * 9) = 4 directors.
Explanation:
Board members = 12
Mr. Clark control = 42,001 shares or 35.295%
Ms. Ramsey control = 52,001 shares or 43.698%
Undecided shareholders = 24,998 shares or 21.01%
Total shareholding = 119,000 shares or 100%
Mr. Clark can elect = 35.295% of directors = 4
Ms. Ramsey can elect = 43.698% of directors = 5
Other shareholders can elect = 21.01% of directors = 3
New shareholding:
Ms. Ramsey and friends = 70,001 shares
Mr. Clark and half uncommitted votes = 60,500 (48,001 + 12,499)
Half of the other uncommitted votes = 12,499
Total votes = 143,000
Mr. Clark can elect (60,50/143,000 * 9) = 4 directors.

CAM charges for retail leases in a shopping mall must be calculated. The retail mall consists of a total area of 2.8 million square feet, of which 800,000 square feet has been leased to anchor tenants that have agreed to pay $2 per rentable square foot in CAM charges. In-line tenants occupy 1.3 million square feet, and the remainder is a common area, which the landlord believeswill require $8 per square foot to maintain and operate each year. If the owner is to cover total CAM charges, how much will in-line tenants have to pay per square foot?
Answer:
$3.08 per square foot
Explanation:
Calculation for how much will in-line tenants have to pay per square foot
First step is to find the common area
Common area = 2,800,000−800,000−1,300,000 Common area= 700,000
Second step is to find Common area operating costs
Common area operating costs = 700,000×8
Common area operating costs= $5.6 million
Third step is to find the Operating costs charged to in-line tenants
Operating costs charged to in-line tenants = 5,600,000−800,000×2
Operating costs charged to in-line tenants = 4,000,000
Last step is to calculate the In-line CAM charges using this formula
In-line CAM charges=Operating costs charged to in-line tenants -In-line tenants square feet
Let plug in the formula
In-line CAM charges = 4,000,000 ÷ 1,300,000
In-line CAM charges= $3.08
Therefore the amount that in-line tenants have to pay per square foot will be $3.08 per square foot.
There are 3 factories on the Momiss River. Each emits 2 types of pollutants, labeled P1 and P2, into the river. If the waste from each factory is processed, the pollution in the river can be reduced. It costs $1500 to process a ton of factory 1 waste, and each ton processed reduces the amount of P1 by 0.10 ton and the amount of P2 by 0.45 ton. It costs $1000 to process a ton of factory 2 waste, and each ton processed reduces the amount of P1 by 0.20 ton and the amount of P2 by 0.25 ton. It costs $2000 to process a ton of factory 3 waste, and each ton processed reduces the amount of P1 by 0.40 ton and the amount of P2 by 0.30 ton. The state wants to reduce the amount of P1 in the river by at least 30 tons and the amount of P2 by at least 40 tons.

Answer:
Hello your question is incomplete below is the complete question
Company XYZ closed at $53.02 per share with a P/E ratio of 14.02 .
Answer :
A) $3.79
B) underpriced
Explanation:
Given data:
Closing price ( price per share ) = $53.02
P/E ratio = 14.02
A ) How much earnings per share
Earnings per share = price per share / (P/E) ratio
= 53.02 / 14.02 = $3.79
B) To check if the stock is overpriced, underpriced or about right
i) At P/E ratio = 12
Earnings per share = 53.02 / 12 = $4.43
Earning yield = ( earning per share / market value ) * 100
= ( 4.43 / 53.02 ) * 100 = 8.33%
ii) At P/E ratio = 13
Earnings per share = 53.02 / 13 = $4.09
Earning Yield = ( earning per share / market value ) * 100
= (4.09 / 53.02 ) * 100 = 7.69%
iii) At P/E ratio = 14
Earnings per share = 53.02 / 14 = $ 3.8
Earnings yield = ( earning per share / market value ) * 100
= ( 3.8 / 53.02 ) * 100 = 7.14%
The average of the earning yield given P/E ratio is 12-14
= ( 8.33 + 7.69 + 7.14 ) % / 3 = 7.72%
while The earning yield given P/E ratio is 14.02
= ( earning per share / market value ) * 100
= ( 3.79 / 53.02 ) * 100 = 7.12%
Therefore the stock is underpriced

is total cost of production can be fixed cost +variable cost
Answer:
degree of operating leverage= 4.9
Explanation:
To calculate the degree of operating leverage, we need to use the following formula:
degree of operating leverage= Total contribution margin / operating income
Total Contribution margin= 1,750*(40*0.7)= $49,000
Operating income= 49,000 - 39,000= $10,000
degree of operating leverage= 49,000/10,000
degree of operating leverage= 4.9

Mathias Corporation manufactures and sells wire rakes. The rakes sell for $20 each. Information about the company's costs is as follows.
Variable manufacturing cost per unit $6
Variable selling and administrative cost per unit 2
Fixed manufacturing overhead per month $300,000
Fixed selling and administrative cost per month 600,000
Required:
a. Determine the company's monthly break-even point in units.
b. Determine the sales volume (in dollars) required for a monthly operating income of $1,200,000.
c. Compute the company’s margin of safety if its current monthly sales level is $2,500,000.
d. Estimate the amount by which monthly operating income will increase if the company anticipates a $100,000 increase in monthly sales volume.
Answer:
a. 75,000 units
b. $1,700,000
c. 0.40 or 40 %
d. $60,000
Explanation:
Break-even point is the level of activity where a firm neither makes a profit nor a loss.
Break-even point (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit
Where,
Contribution per unit = Unit Selling Price less Variable Costs per unit
= $20 - $6 - $2
= $12.00
Therefore,
Break-even point (units) = ($300,000 + $600,000) ÷ $12.00
= 75,000 units
Sales (dollars) to reach target profit = (Fixed Costs + Target Profit) ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio
Where,
Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution ÷ Sales
= $12.00 ÷ $20.00
= 0.60
Therefore,
Sales (dollars) to reach target profit = ($300,000 + $600,000 + 1,200,000) ÷ 0.60
= $1,700,000
Margin of Safety = (Sales level - Break-even Sales level) ÷ Sales level
= ($2,500,000 - $1,500,000) ÷ $2,500,000
= 0.40 or 40 %
Calculation of Incremental Monthly Operating Income
Incremental Sales $100,000
Less Incremental Variable Costs (5,000 × $8) ($40.000)
Incremental Contribution $60,000
Less Incremental Fixed Costs $0
Incremental Operating Income $60,000

20. The consumer price index was 120 in 2013 and 126 in 2014. The nominal interest rate during this period was 8 percent. What was the real interest rate during this period? A) 3 percent B) 2 percent C) 3.3 percent D) 5.2 percent E) 12.8 percent
Answer: 3%
Explanation:
To calculate the real interest rate, it should be noted that the inflation rate is needed and this can be calculated using the consumer price index as:
= [(126-120)/120] × 100
= 6/120 × 100
= 5%
Real interest rate will now be:
= Nominal Rate - Inflation Rate
= 8% - 5%
= 3%

Analyzing Unearned Revenue Disclosures
The following disclosures (excerpted) are from the August 28, 2016, annual report of Costco Wholesale Corporation.
Revenue Recognition: We generally recognize sales, net of estimated returns, at the time the member takes possession of merchandise or receives services. When we collect payment from customers prior to the transfer of ownership of merchandise or the performance of services, the amount recieved is generally recorded as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets until the sales or service is completed. Membership fee revenue represents annual membership fees paid by our memberships. We account for membership fee revenue, net of estimated refunds, on a deferred basis, whereby revenue is recognized ratably over the one-year membership period.

(a) Which of the following statements best explains in layman terms how Costco accounts for the cash received for its membership fees?
Because Costco does not know how many of its members will continue to the end of the year, cash received from members is recorded as a liability and recognized as revenue only at year-end.
When it receives cash, the company records it as a current liability. Then, it recognizes revenue evenly over the year.
The company records revenue when the cash is received.
Because Costco has a refund policy, the company records revenue when the cash is received, less an allowance for expected membership terminations.

The current portion of long-term debt should
a. be paid immediately
b.not be separated from the long-term portion of debt
c. be reclassified as a current liability
d. be classified as a long-term liability
The current portion of long-term debt should be classified as a long-term liability. Thus, option (d) is correct.
What is debt?
The phrase “debt” refers to the money that one can borrow. Debt is the cash raised by issuing bonds or debentures.
A company's ability to pay off a long-term debt's current component within a year is represented by this number. So, a sum of this magnitude that is due in the next 12 months shouldn't be listed as a long-term liability.
Therefore, option (d) is correct.

A small nation of 10 people idolizes the TV show The Voice. All they produce and consume are karaoke machines and CDs, in the following amounts:
Karaoke Machines CDs
Quantity Price(Dollars) Quantity Price (Dollars)
2020 20 50 60 5
2021 21 70 80 6
Using a method similar to that used to calculate the consumer price index, the percentage change in the overall price level is_____________ . (Note: Use 2020 as the base year, and fix the basket at 2 karaoke machines and 6 CDs.) Using a method similar to that used to calculate the GDP deflator, the percentage change of the overall price level is_____________ . (Note: Again, use 2020 as the base year.) Which of the following statements is correct? Check all that apply.
a. The inflation rate in 2021 is not the same using the two methods.
b. The CPI allows the basket of goods and services to change.
c. The GDP deflator holds the basket of goods and services constant.
Answer:
The inflation rate is different using the two methods as the rate of inflation calculated by the CPI holds basket of goods and services constant while the GDP deflator allows it to change.
Explanation:
i. Value of market basket of the good in 2020 = ($50*2) + ($5*6) = $130
Value of market basket of the good in 2021 = ($70*2) + ($6*6) = $176
CPI in 2020 = ($130 / $130) * 100 = 100
CPI in 2021 = ($176 / $130) * 100 = 135.38
Thus, The percentage change in overall price level is = [(135.38 - 100) / 100) * 100 = 35.38%
ii. Nominal GDP in 2020 = ($50 * 20) + ($5 * 60) = $1300
Nominal GDP in 2021 = ($70 * 21) + ($6 * 80) = $1950
Real GDP in 2020 = ($50 * 20) + ($5 * 60) = $1300
Real GDP in 2021 = ($50 * 21) + ($5 * 80) = $1450
GDP deflator in 2020 = (Nominal GDP in 2107 / Nominal GDP in 2107) * 100 = ($1300 / $1300) * 100 = 100
GDP deflator in 2021 = (Nominal GDP in 2108 / Nominal GDP in 2108) * 100 = ($1950 / $1450) * 100 = 134.48
Thus, the percentage change in overall price level is = [(134.48 - 100) / 100) * 100 = 34.48%
McKinney & Co. estimates its uncollectible accounts as a percentage of credit sales. McKinney made credit sales of $1,500,000 in 2019. McKinney estimates 2.5% of its sales will be uncollectible. At the end of the first quarter of 2020, McKinney & Co. reevaluates its receivables. McKinney’s management decides that $8,500 due from Mangold Corporation will not be collectible. This amount was previously included in the allowance account. On April 23, 2020, McKinney & Co. receives a check from Mangold Corporation for $8,500.
Required:
Prepare the journal entry to record the write-off for Mckinney.
Answer:
Debit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for $8,500;
Credit Accounts Receivable for $8,500.
Explanation:
The journal entry to record the write-off for Mckinney will look as follows:
McKinney & Co.
Journal Entry
Account title and explanation Dr ($) Cr ($)
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 8,500
Accounts Receivable 8,500
(To record uncollectable amount due from Mangold Corporation.)
Note that since the management of McKinney decided that $8,500 due from Mangold Corporation will not be collectible, this implies that the Accounts Receivable will reduce by that amount. Therefore, the entries to make to show the reduction in the amount of account receivale by $8,500 is to Debit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for $8,500 and Credit Accounts Receivable for $8,500.
A company has the following aging schedule of its accounts receivable with the estimated percent uncollectible:______.
Age Group Amount Receivable Estimated Percent Uncollectible
Not yet due $ 175,000 4 %
0-60 days past due $ 40,000 10 %
61-120 days past due $ 10,000 30 %
More than 120 days past due $ 5,000 60 %
Assuming the balance of Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts is $3,000 (credit) before adjustment, which of the following would be recorded in the year-end adjusting entry?
Answer: $14,000
Explanation:
Estimated Uncollectible = (4% * 175,000) + ( 10% * 40,000) + ( 30% * 10,000) + (60% * 5,000)
= 7,000 + 4,000 + 3,000 + 3,000
= $17,000
The credit balance on the Allowance account will be used to account for some of the uncollectibles. The remaining amount will be the year-end adjusting entry;
= 17,000 - 3,000
= $14,000
Suppose that France and Austria both produce rye and wine. France's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 4 bushels of rye while Austria's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 10 bushels of rye. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing wine in the two countries, you can tell that __________ has a comparative advantage in the production of wine and __________has a comparative advantage in the production of rye.
Suppose that France and Austria consider trading wine and rye with each other. France can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than __________of rye for each bottle of wine it exports to Austria. Similarly, Austria can gain from trade as long as it receives more than __________of wine for each bushel of rye it exports to France.
Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following prices of trade (that is, price of wine in terms of rye) would allow both Austria and France to gain from trade?
a. 7 bushels of rye per bottle of wine
b. 4 bushels of rye per bottle of wine
c. 1 bushel of rye per bottle of wine
d. 11 bushels of rye per bottle of wine
Answer:
France has comparative advantage in production of wine
Austria has comparative advantage in production of rye.
4 bushels of rye for each bottle of wine
1 bottle of wine for each bushel.
b. 4 bushel of rye per bottle of wine.
Explanation:
France has comparative advantage in producing wine as it has opportunity cost of 4 bushels per bottle of wine. Austria has comparative advantage in producing bushels as it has opportunity cost of 10 bushels per bottle of wine. The both countries can gain advantage if they agree for 4 bushels per wine.
