Answer:
Contraction
Explanation:
Contraction is when the level of economic activities in a country goes down. There is decreased productivity in the country, as indicated by a decline in the GDP value. At contraction, the economy will experience a drop in real incomes, retail sales, and industrial production. The unemployment rate begins to rise steadily as companies stop hiring while other lay-off workers due to reduced demand.
Pitt Enterprises manufactures jeans. All materials are introduced at the beginning of the manufacturing process in the Cutting Department. Conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the manufacturing process. As the cutting of material is completed, the pieces are immediately transferred to the Sewing Department. Information for the Cutting Department for the month of May follows.
Work in Process, May 1 (54,000 units, 100% complete for direct materials, 35% complete with respect to conversion costs; includes $78,500 of direct material cost; $42,050 of conversion costs).
Units started in May 233,000
Units completed in May 208,000
Work in Process, May 31 (79,000 units, 100% complete for direct materials; 15% complete for conversion costs).
Costs incurred in May
Direct materials $391,440
Conversion costs $401,900
Required:
If Pitt Enterprises uses the FIFO method of process costing, compute the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion costs respectively for May.
Answer:
cost per equivalent unit : materials = $1.37 and conversion costs = $1.78.
Explanation:
Please note that we have to use FIFO costing method
Calculation of the Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Materials and Conversion Costs
1. Raw Materials
To finish Beginning Work In Process (54,000 × 0%) 0
Started and Completed ((233,000 - 54,000) × 100%) 179,000
Ending Work In Process (79,000 × 100%) 79,000
Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Materials 258,000
1. Conversion Cost
To finish Beginning Work In Process (54,000 × 65%) 35,100
Started and Completed ((233,000 - 54,000) × 100%) 179,000
Ending Work In Process (79,000 × 15%) 11,850
Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Conversion 225,950
Calculation of the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion costs.
Unit Cost = Current Period Costs ÷ Equivalent units of production
1. Raw Materials
Unit Cost = $391,440 ÷ 258,000
= $1.37
2. Conversion Cost
Unit Cost = $401,900 ÷ 225,950
= $1.78
If national income is $5,000 billion, compensation of employees is $1,105 billion, proprietors’ income is $1,520 billion, corporate profits are $490 billion, and net interest is $128 billion, then rental income is equal to
Answer:
Rental income = $1,757 billion
Explanation:
National income is defined as the value of goods and services that a nation produces within a financial year.
Therefore it is made up of all economic actives that the nation is involved in.
The gross domestic product is a measure of the national income.
The formula for national income is given below
National income = employees compensation + proprietors' income + corporate profits + rental income +net interest
5,000 billion = 1,105 billion + 1,520 billion + 490 billion + rental income + 128 billion
Rental income = 5,000 billion - 3,243 billion
Rental income = $1,757 billion
Daily demand for a certain product is normally distributed with a mean of 138 and a standard deviation of 13. The supplier is reliable and maintains a constant lead time of 7 days. The cost of placing an order is $17 and the cost of holding inventory is $0.40 per unit per year. There are no stock-out costs, and unfilled orders are filled as soon as the order arrives. Assume sales occur over 358 days of the year.
Your goal here is to find the order quantity and reorder point to satisfy a 73 percent probability of not stocking out during the lead time.
a. To manage inventory, the company is using
Continuous review system
Periodic review system
b. Find the order quantity. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
Order quantity books
c. Find the reorder point. (Use Excel's NORMSINV() function to find the correct critical value for the given α-level. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "z" value to 2 decimal places and final answer to the nearest whole number.)
Reorder point
Answer:
A. Continuous review system
B. Order quantity = 2,049 Books
C. Reorder point=987
Explanation:
a. In order To manage inventory, the company is using what is called Continuous review system
b. Calculation to find the order quality
Using this formula
Order quantity = √((2DS)/H)
Let plug in the morning
Order quantity=√ ((2 x 49,404 x 17)/0.40)
Order quantity = 2,049 Books
(138*358=49,404)
C. Calculation for reorder point
First step is to find the σL
73 % S.L. - z = 0.613
Using this formula to find the σL
σL = (Lσ^2)
Let plug in the formula
σL=√(7(13)^2)
σL= 34.39
Second step is to find the Reorder point using this formula
R = d bar(L) + zσL
Let plug in the formula
Reorder point = (138)(7) + 0.613(34.39)
Reorder point = 966+21
Reorder point=987

=30% unfavorable
On August 20th, one of your employees comes to you with a vacation request. The employee’s available vacation time expires on September 1st, however she wants to take her vacation between September 20th through the 25th.
She asks you to submit her vacation request to the corporate office for the week prior to September 1st, and wants you to not schedule her for the days between the 20th and 25th, and she wants her "vacation" pay for those days.
Would you do it? Why? or Why Not?
Answer:
No
Explanation:
Her vacation is expired and therefore invalid. Also she is requesting for a pay during this period which counters Amy form of sympathy for this employee. However, depending on the relationship the employee has with her employer, there might be a compromise especially if the employee really does need the vacation as she may be burned out or may have postponed vacation till expiration for the interest of the company

A department adds materials at the beginning of the process and incurs conversion costs uniformly throughout the process. For the month of July, there was no beginning work in process; 39000 units were completed and transferred out; and there were 19000 units in the ending work in process that were 30% complete. During July, $87000 materials costs and $89400 conversion costs were charged to the department. The unit production costs for materials and conversion costs for July were:_________
Materials Conversion Costs
$2.77 $1.55
$2.04 $1.50
$3.09 $2.27
$1.60 $1.50
Answer:
Unit Production Cost for Materials = $1.5 per unit
Unit Production Cost for Conversion cost = $2 per unit
Explanation:
Materials Conversion
Beginning WIP 0 0
Started and Completed 39,000 39,000
Ending WIP (19,000*30%) 19,000 5,700
Equivalent Units 58,000 44,700
Cost Incurred $87,000 $89,400
Unit Production Cost for Materials = Cost / Equivalent units
Unit Production Cost for Materials = $87,000 / 58,000
Unit Production Cost for Materials = $1.5 per unit
Unit Production Cost for Conversion cost = Cost / Equivalent units
Unit Production Cost for Conversion cost = $89,400 / 44,700
Unit Production Cost for Conversion cost = $2 per unit
Assume Merck (MRK) just announced that its next dividend will be $2, paid one year from now (you just missed the prior annual dividend). You expect the dividend will grow (after the $2 dividend) by 3% per year forever. Your required return is 10%. What are you willing to pay for a share of Merck stock
Answer:
$28.57
Explanation:
Current price = D1/(Required return-Growth rate)
D1 (Next dividend) = $2
Required return = 10% = 0.1
Growth rate = 3% = 0.03
Current price = $2/(0.1-0.03)
Current price = $2 / 0.07
Current price = $28.57143
Current price = $28.57
Hence, i will be willing to pay $28.57 for a share of Merck stock.

Brief Exercise 14-08 Ziegler Corporation reports net income of $380,000 and a weighted-average of 200,000 shares of common stock outstanding for the year. Compute the earnings per share of common stock.
Answer:
$1.9
Explanation:
The computation of the earning per share is shown below:
Earning per share is
= Net income ÷ Weighted number of oustanding shares
= $380,000 ÷ 200,000 shares
= $1.9
By simply divide the net income from the Weighted number of oustanding shares, the earning per share could be determined
Hence, the earning per share is $1.9
Sheridan Company sells radios for $50 per unit. The fixed costs are $445000 and the variable costs are 60% of the selling price. As a result of new automated equipment, it is anticipated that fixed costs will increase by $65000 and variable costs will be 50% of the selling price. The new break-even point in units is:
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 2,600
Explanation:
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Fixed costs= $65,000
Contribution margin per unit= 50*0.5= $25
Break-even point in units= 65,000/25
Break-even point in units= 2,600
Alternative price indexes
Because there isn't one single measure of inflation, the government and researchers use a variety of methods to get the most balanced picture of how prices fluctuate in the economy. Two of the most commonly used price indexes are the consumer price index (CPI) and the GDP deflator. The GDP deflator for this year is calculated by dividing the_____using______by the_____using_____and multiplying by 100. However, the CPI reflects only the prices of all goods and services.
Indicate whether each scenario will affect the GDP deflator or the CPI for the United States.

Equipment feller buncher, which is a
commercial forestry machine made in
the U.S. but not bought by U.S. consumers.
Answer and Explanation:
The consumer price index refers to an index in which the prescribed market cost of goods & services by the prices years from the base year prices of the prescribed market basket and then it is multiplied by 100.
But the Gross Domestic Inflator would be represented when the all types of prices of goods and services generated domestically
An increase in the price refelected the GDP deflator
And, the decrease in the price of treewood represents CPI

The product, the Killer X3000, will cost $900,000 to develop up front (year 0), and you expect revenues the first year of $800,000, growing to $1.5 million the second year, and then declining by 40% per year for the next 3 years before the product is fully obsolete. In years 1 through 5, you will have fixed costs associated with the product of $100,000 per year, and variable costs equal to 50% of revenues.
A. What are the cash flows for the project in years 0 through 51
B. Plot the NPV profile for this nvestment using discount rates from 0% to 50% in 5% increments.
C. What is the project's NPV if the project's cost of capital is 10%?
D. Use the NPV profile to estimate the cost of capital at which the project would become unprofitable; that is, estimate the project's IRR or calculate it using the data.
Initial investment $900,000
Revenues vear 1 $800,000
Revenues vear 2 $1,500,000
Revenues decline years 4000
Fixed costs vears 1-5 $100,000
Variable costs 50%
Answer:
F= (900,000)
F1= 300,000
F2 = 650,000
F3 = 350,000
F4 = 170,000
F5 = 62,000
NPV at 10% $327487
IRR 20.587%
Explanation:
F0 -900,000
revenues variable cost fixed cost net flow
F1 800,000 -400000 -100,000 = 300,000
F2 1,500,000 -750000 -100,000 = 650,000
F3 900000 -450000 -100,000 = 350,000
F4 540000 -270000 -100,000 = 170,000
F5 324000 -162000 -100,000 = 62,000
NPV at 10%:
For each cashflow, we apply the discount of a lump sum formula
[tex]\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]
And add them together for the net present value
[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}Year&$cashflow&PV\\0&-900,000&-900,000\\1&300,000&272,727\\2&650,000&537,190\\3&350,000&262,960\\4&170,000&116,112\\5&62,000&38,497\\Total&&327487\\\end{array}\right][/tex]
We solve for the IRR using the excel IRR formula
we list the cashflow and use IRR to select them.
Firms often seek to borrow money to expand their capital stock, and the price they pay for the money is the interest rate. What happens to quantity of money demanded if the interest rate increases
Answer:
When interest rate rises, the quantity of money demanded reduces
Explanation:
As interest rate increases firms seeking to borrow money for capital stock expansion are likely not going to go ahead with it. The reason is simply because, interest rate and money demanded have an inverse relationship. As interest rate rises money demanded falls because it means that for any amount of money borrowed the interest rate attached to it is higher making the cost of borrowing heavier on the borrower.
What term means an explosive and seemingly uncontrollable inflation in which money loses value rapidly and may even go out of use? A. deflation B. hyperinflation C. stagflation D. maginflation
Answer:
hyperinflation
Explanation:
Hyperinflation is a term in economics that denotes an out-of-control, rise in prices of goods and services . When the inflation rate is rapidly rising, say by more than 50% per month, then it is a case of hyperinflation.
Hence, hyperinflation is an explosive and seemingly uncontrollable inflation in which money loses value rapidly and may even go out of use.

If overhead is applied using traditional costing based on direct labor hours, the overhead application rate is:
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Explanation:
If overhead is applied using traditional costing based on direct labor hours, the overhead application rate is:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
For example:
Total estimated overhead= $150,000
Allocation base= direct labor hours
Estimated Total number of direct labor hours= 10,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 150,000/10,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $15 per direct labor hour

Sheridan Company pays all salaried employees on a biweekly basis. Overtime pay, however, is paid in the next biweekly period. Sheridan accrues salaries expense only at its December 31 year end. Data relating to salaries earned in December 2020 are as follows: Last payroll was paid on 12/26/20, for the 2-week period ended 12/26/20. Overtime pay earned in the 2-week period ended 12/26/20 was $24000. Remaining work days in 2020 were December 29, 30, 31, on which days there was no overtime. The recurring biweekly salaries total $444000.
Assuming a five-day workweek, Sheridan should record a liability at December 31, 2020 for accrued salaries of:_________.
a. $266400
b. $290400
c. $133200
d. $157200
Answer:
d. $157,200
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount that Sheridan should record a liability at December 31, 2020 for accrued salaries
Liability for accrued salary=$24,000 + ($444,000 ÷ 10 days × 3)
Liability for accrued salary=$24,000+$133,200
Liability for accrued salary= $157,200
Therefore the amount that Sheridan should record a liability at December 31, 2020 for accrued salaries will be $157,200

Answer:
b. E-mail facilitates collaboration between people in remote locations; however, when collaboration requires the exchange of large data files, it is often easier to use web-based collaboration software.
d. E-mail can be an efficient way to communicate, and it makes communicating across time zones much easier.
Explanation
Sentence B is correct because it employs the use of a semicolon to separate two independent clauses. The use of the conjunction, however, helps to separate two sentences that have opposite connotations.
Sentence D is correct because the conjunction, and, was used appropriately to add a second thought to the sentence. The comma was also used correctly as it spliced the sentence and was immediately followed by the conjunction, and.

Explanation:
a) 111 millions shares x $0.50 = $55.5 millions
c)
111 millions x $18 per share x 6% = 119.88 millions
660,000 x $18 = 11.88 millions
net: 119.88 - 11.88 = 108 millons on shares
$108 millons / $18 per share = 6,000,000 shares
d)
111 + 6 new shares = 117 shares
$117 x $0.50 = $58.5 millons
f) 3-2 split gives 3 shares for every 2 shares
117 x 3/2 = 175.5 millons
175.5 millions x 0.35 per share = 61.425 million cash dividends
Tommy is from a small town and quit high school to get married. He and his wife have five kids, and his wife stays home with the children. Tommy is a hard worker and strives to provide for his family, although his skills are limited. Tommy has been a butcher for his entire career. He has been with his present company, a large retail grocer, for the past six years performing the same job. There are twelve people in the meat department, and each one specializes in cutting certain types of meat. Tommy's job is to cut ribeye steaks. Cutting ribeye steaks is very precise and requires holding and using a knife in the same way every day. This requirement has started to cause Tommy pain in his right hand. Although Tommy still likes his work, he is getting a little bored of the repetition and is bothered by the pain.
The quality of Tommy’s work has not suffered, but the store managers can tell that he is getting bored. What could they do to keep him better engaged?
a. Purchase special ergonomic mats to help with the pain associated with standing on the hard floor every day.
b. Motivate Tommy by giving him feedback about how skilled he is in cutting ribeye and explain that customers visit the store for his custom steaks.
c. Offer Tommy more money because he is so good at cutting meat.
d. Cross train the employees in the meat department, so beef cutters can learn how to cut pork and vice versa.
e. Administer a work personality quiz to Tommy to see if there is another area in the store where he could move to, such as the produce department.
Answer: d. Cross train the employees in the meat department, so beef cutters can learn how to cut pork and vice versa.
Explanation:
Since the quality of Tommy’s work has not suffered, but the store managers can tell that he is getting bored, the thing that could be done to keep him better engaged is to cross train the employees in the meat department, so beef cutters can learn how to cut pork and vice versa. Cross training helps the workers in the company appreciate the workers of others in other department and shows workers flexibility.
