For each company, calculate the gross profit ratio.
Answers
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the gross profit ratio for each company is shown below:
As we know that
Gross profit ratio is
= Gross profit ÷ sales revenue
= (Sales revenue - cost of goods sold) ÷ sales revenue
For henry
= ($38,000 - $13,000) ÷ ($38,000)
= 66%
For grace
= ($41,000 - $27,880) ÷ ($41,000)
= 32%
For James
= ($46,000 - $27,600) ÷ ($46,000)
= 40%

Hillary graduates from law school and gets a position in a law firm. At the same time the price of hamburger falls while other food prices have stayed the same. She notices that she buys less hamburger than she did before. Is she violating the law of demand?
Answers
Answer:
no, since other things are not held constant, including her income
Explanation:
The law of demand states that price has an inverse relationship with quantity demanded of a good. As price increases the demand reduces, and as price decreases quantity demanded increases.
However this is true when all other factors reman constant.
In the given scenario the price of hamburger has fallen but Hilary buys less of it. This looks like a violation of the law of demand, but her income has changed so the law of demand may not hold here.
All factors do not remain constant.
Hilary's behaviour can be explained by the concept income effect. Where an increase in income leads to the consumer buying more of expensive goods than cheaper ones.
Roberta transfers property with a tax basis of $495 and a fair market value of $546 to a corporation in exchange for stock with a fair market value of $356 in a transaction that qualifies for deferral under section 351. The corporation assumed a liability of $190 on the property transferred. What is the amount realized by Roberta in the exchange
Answers
Answer: $546
Explanation:
The amount realized by Roberta in the exchange will be gotten through the addition of the fair value of the stock that was acquired to the liability that's assumed by the corporation. This will be:
Fair value of stock acquired = $356
Add: Liability assumed by corporation = $190
Amount realised = $356 + $190 = $546
Chen Company's Small Motor Division manufactures a number of small motors used in household and office appliances. The Household Division of Chen then assembles and packages such items as blenders and juicers. Both divisions are free to buy and sell any of their components internally or externally. The following costs relate to small motor LN233 on a per unit basis.
Fixed cost per unit $5.20
Variable cost per unit $10.81
Selling price per unit $34.55
Assuming that the Small Motor Division has excess capacity, compute the minimum acceptable price for the transfer of small motor LN233 to the Household Division. (Round answer to 2 decimal places.)
Minimum transfer price $ per unit
Assuming that the Small Motor Division does not have excess capacity, compute the minimum acceptable price for the transfer of the small motor to the Household Division. (Round answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answers
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
1. If the small motor division has excess capacity,
Minimum transfer price = Variable cost + Opportunity cost
Variable cost per unit = $10.81
Add:
Opportunity cost per unit = $0.00 (Because the company has sufficient excess capacity)
Minimum transfer price = $10.81
2. If the small motor division has excess capacity,
Minimum transfer price = Variable cost + Opportunity cost
Variable cost per unit = $10.81
Add:
Opportunity cost per unit = $23.74 (As the company has no excess capacity, contribution lost is the opportunity cost)
Minimum transfer price = $34.55
N.B
Contribution lost = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
= $34,55 - $10.8 = $23.74
Indicate the correct statement about the effect of the Reynolds number on the character of the flow over an object. If the Reynolds number is low enough, then the effect of viscosity is so:___.
a. high that there is a region near the plate where the fluid is stationary.
b. increases, then the size of the region around the object that is affected by viscosity increases.
c. is high enough, then the effect of viscosity is negligible and the fluid flows over the plate without sticking to the surface.
d. increases, then the extent of the region around the object that is affected by viscosity decreases.
Answers
Answer: d. increases, then the extent of the region around the object that is affected by viscosity decreases.
Explanation:
Viscosity simply refers to the measure of the resistance of a fluid to a flow. The Reynolds number helps in the prediction of flow patterns.
If the Reynolds number increases, then the extent of the region around the object that is affected by viscosity decreases.
Mt Kinley is a strategy consulting firm that divides its consultants into three classes, associates, managers, and partners. The firm has been stable in size for the last 20 years, ignoring growth opportunities in the 90s, but also not suffering from a need to down-size in the recession. Specifically, there have been – and are expected to be – 200 associates, 60 managers, and 20 partners. The work environment at Mt Kinley is rather competitive. After 4 years of working as an associate, a consultant goes "either up or out", i.e. becomes a manager or is dismissed from the company. Similarly, after 6 years a manager either becomes a partner or is dismissed. The company recruits MBAs as associate consultants, no hires are made at the manager or partner level. A partner stays with the company for another 10 years (total of 20 years with the company). How many new MBA graduates does Mt Kinley have to hire every year? What is the probability that an incoming MBA graduate would make partner at Mt Kinley?
Answers
Answer:
1. 50 consultants per year
2. 4%
Explanation:
1. Calculation to determine How many new MBA graduates does Mt Kinley have to hire every year
Using this formula
Flow Rate of associates= Inventory / Flow Time
Let plug in the formula
Flow Rate of associates = 200 consultants / 4 years
Flow Rate of associates= 50 consultants per year
Therefore the numbers of MBA graduates that Mt Kinley have to hire every year is 50 consultants per year
2. Calculation to determine the probability that an incoming MBA graduate would make partner at Mt Kinley
First step is to calculate the Flow Rate of managers using this formula
Flow Rate of manager= Inventory / Flow Time
Let plug in the formula
Flow Rate of manager = 60 consultants / 6 years
Flow Rate of manager =10 consultants per year
Second step is to calculate the flow rate of partner using this formula
Flow rate of partner = Inventory/ Flow time
Let plug in the formula
Flow rate of partner = 20/10
Flow rate of partner = 2 partners per year
Third step is to calculate the probability of becoming a manager
Probability (Manager) = 10/50
Probability (Manager) = 20%
Fourth step is to calculate Probability of becoming a partner
Probability (Partner) = 2/10
Probability (Partner) = 20%
Now let calculate the probability that an incoming MBA graduate would make partner at Mt Kinley
Probability of MBA graduate becoming a partner = 20% x 20%
Probability of MBA graduate becoming a partner = 4%
Therefore the probability that an incoming MBA graduate would make partner at Mt Kinley is 4%

Assume that Cheong's fixed costs are unavoidable and that Cheong will not be able to use the excess capacity in any profitable manner. If Cheong decides to outsource, monthly operating income will ___
Answers
Answer: Monthly operating income will decrease by $5400.
Explanation:
Volume = 1200 units per month
Variable cost per unit = $11.50 per unit
Fixed costs = $10,000 per month
Since Cheong decides to outsource, the monthly operating income will be calculated thus:
= Volume × (Cost of ready made units - Variable cost per unit)
= 1200 × (16 - 11.50)
= 1200 × 4.50
= $5400
Therefore, the monthly operating income will decrease by $5400.

Assume the following for the town of Boone: The town has a total population of 60,000 people, of which 2,000 are under 16 years of age or are institutionalized; 4,000 are full-time students who are not employed and are not seeking work; and 50,000 are employed. The rest of the people are out of work but have been actively seeking work within the past four weeks. What is Boone's unemployment rate?
Answers
Answer:
Unemployment rate= 7.4%
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the labor force. The labor force is the sum of employed people and unemployed people over 16 actively looking for work.
Labor force= 60,000 - 2,000 - 4,000= 54,000
Now, we can calculate the unemployment rate, using the following formula:
unemployment rate= (unemployed people / labor force)*100
unemployment rate= (4,000/54,000)*100
unemployment rate= 7.4%

b. The economy has $100 in the form of 100 pieces of $1 bills.
Calculate the velocity of money for both situations.
1B.) For a country A, the GDP growth rate is 8 percent and inflation is 4 percent. If the velocity of money remains constant, what is the change in real money balances?
Answers
Answer:
a. 5
b. 5
1B. 8%
Explanation:
a. MV = PY
Money Supply * Velocity of money = Price level * Real GDP
100 * V = 5 * 100
100V = 500
V = 5
b. Velocity = 5
It will not change because the money supply for both questions is the same = $100.
1.B. Change in real money balances = 8%
The change in real money balances will be the same as the GDP growth rate if velocity is constant.

g You have been hired to value a new 25-year callable, convertible bond with a par value of $1,000. The bond has a coupon rate of 6 percent, payable annually. The conversion price is $180 and the stock currently sells for $42.10. The stock price is expected to grow at 10 percent per year. The bond is callable at $1,200; but based on prior experience, it won't be called unless the conversion value is $1,300. The required return on this bond is 8 percent. What value would you assign to this bond
Answers
Answer:
The value that would be assigned to this bond is $1,209.36.
Explanation:
From the question, we have:
n = Number of years = 25
FV = Future value = $1,000
PMT = Coupon payment = Coupon rate * FV = 6% * $1000 = $60
r = required return rate = 8%, or 0.08
CP = Conversion price = $180
P = Current selling price = $42.10
t = number of years the bond will be called = ?
PV = [(PMT / r) * (1 - (1 / (1 + r)^n))] + (FV / (1 + r)^n) = [(60 / 0.08) * (1 - (1 / (1 + 0.08)^25))] + (1000 / (1 + 0.08)^25) = $786.50
Therefore, we have:
PV = Current value of the bond = $786.50
CR = Conversion ratio = FV/CP = 1000 / 180
CV = Conversion value = P * CR = $42.10 * (100 / 180) = $23.39
CCP = Current conversion price = CV = $23.39
CPB = Conversion price at which Bond will be called = $1,300
Therefore. we have:
CCP * CR^t = CPB ................... (1)
Substitute relevant values into equation (1) and solve for t, we have:
$23.39 * (1000 / 180)^t = $1,300
23.39 * 5.56^t = 1,300
5.56^t = 1,300 / 23.39
t = ln(1,300 / 23.39) / ln(5.56)
t = 2.34 years
Therefore, we have:
Value assigned to the bond = PV = [(PMT / r) * (1 - (1 / (1 + r)^t))] + (CPB / (1 + r)^t) = [(60 / 0.08) * (1 - (1 / (1 + 0.08)^2.34))] + (1300 / (1 + 0.08)^2.34) = $1,209.36
A municipal power plant uses natural gas from an existing pipeline at an annual cost of $10,000 per year. A new pipeline would initially cost $35,000, but it would reduce the annual cost to $4000 per year. Assume an analysis period of 20 years and no salvage value for either pipeline. The interest rate is 7%. Using the equivalent uniform annual cost (EUAC), should the new pipeline be built
Answers
Answer: EUAC of new pipeline of $7,303.75 is less than the $10,000 of old pipeline so new pipeline should be built.
Explanation:
Equivalent Uniform Annual cost can be calculated as:
= Reduction in annual cost + (Initial Cost/ Present value interest factor of annuity, 7%, 20 years)
= 4,000 + (35,000 / 10.5940)
= 4,000 + 3,303.75
= $7,303.75

The management of Wheeler Company has decided to develop cost formulas for its major overhead activities. Wheeler uses a highly automated manufacturing process, and power costs are a significant manufacturing cost. Cost analysts have decided that power costs are mixed. The costs must be broken into their fixed and variable elements so that the cost behavior of the power usage activity can be properly described. Machine hours have been selected as the activity driver for power costs. The following data for the past eight quarters have been collected:
Quarter Machine Hours Power cost
1 20000 26000
2 25000 38000
3 30000 42500
4 22000 37000
5 21000 34000
6 18000 29000
7 24000 36000
8 28000 40000
1. Prepare a scattergraph by plotting power costs against machine hours. Does the scattergraph show a near relationship between machine hours and power cost?

1-b. Yes, the scattergraph show a near relationship between machine hours and power cost.
2. The power cost formula using the high and low points is as follows:
Total power cost = -7000 + (1.65 * Machine hours)
3-a. The power cost formula using the method of least squares is as follows:
Total power cost = 6454 + (1.21 * Machine hours)
3-b. R² = Coefficient of determination = 0.8969, or 89.69%
Explanation
1-a. Prepare a scattergraph by plotting power costs against machine hours.
Note: See the attached photo for the a scattergraph by plotting power costs against machine hours.
1-b. Does the scattergraph show a near relationship between machine hours and power cost?
Note that Scattergraph is interpreted by looking by looking for trends in the data as there is movement from left to right.
From the attached a scattergraph, it can be observed that there is an uphill pattern as there is a movement from left to right. This indicates that there a near positive relationship between power costs against machine hours.
Therefore, the scattergraph show a near relationship between machine hours and power cost.
2. Using the high and low points (i.e., the high-low method), compute a power cost formula.
2-a. Calculation of variable cost elements
Variable cost per machine hour = (Highest Power Costs - Lowest Power Costs) / (Highest machine hours – Lowest machine hours) = (42500 - 26000) / (30000 - 20000) = 1.65 per hour
2-b. Calculation of fixed cost elements
Total power cost = Total Fixed Cost + Total Variable Cost ................. (1)
Where;
Total Variable Cost = Variable cost per machine hour * Machine hours ……….. (2)
Substitute equation (2) into equation (1), we have:
Total power cost = Total Fixed Cost + (Variable cost per machine hour * Machine hours) ……………………. (3)
Using highest machine hours and substitute relevant values into equation (3), we have:
42500 = Total Fixed Cost + (1.65 * 3000)
42500 = Total Fixed Cost + 49,500
Total Fixed Cost = 42500 - 49,500
Total Fixed Cost = -7000
2-c Computation of a power cost formula
Substituting Variable cost per machine hour = 1.65 and Total Fixed Cost = -7000 into equation (3), we can compute the power cost formula as follows:
Total power cost = -7000 + (1.65 * Machine hours) ………………. (4)
Equation is the power cost formula.
3. Use the method of least squares to compute a power cost formula. Evaluate the coefficient of determination.
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculations of Total of Machine Hours (x), Power cost (y), xy, x^2, and y^2.
Since Σ = Total of or summation of, we can therefore obtain the following from the attached excel file:
Σx = 190,800
Σy = 282,500
Σxy = 6,878,400,000
Σx² = 4,666,540,000
Σy² = 10,188,250,000
N = Number of quarters = 8
3-a. Use the method of least squares to compute a power cost formula
Step 1: Calculation of variable cost per rental return
To calculate the variable power cost per machine hour, the following formula is used:
Variable power cost per machine hour = (NΣxy − ΣxΣy) /((NΣx²) − (Σx)²) ……………… (5)
= (Σxy – (1/8)ΣxΣy) /((Σx²) – (1/8)(Σx)²)
=(6,878,400,000 – ((1/8) * 190,800 * 282,500)) / (4,666,540,000 – ((1/8) * 190,800²))
Substituting the relevant values into equation (5), we have:
Variable cost per rental return = ((8 * 6,878,400,000) - (190,800 * 282,500)) /((8 * 4,666,540,000) - 190,800²)
Variable power cost per machine hour = 1.21
Step 2: Calculation of quarterly fixed power cost
This can be calculated using the following formula:
Fixed Cost per quarter = {Σy - (Variable power cost per machine hour * Σx) / N ....... (6)
Substituting the relevant values into equation (6), we have:
Fixed Cost per quarter = (282,500 - (1.21 * 190,800)) / 8
Fixed Cost per quarter = 6,454
Step 3: Computation of the power cost formula
Substituting Variable cost per machine hour = 1.21 and Total Fixed Cost = 6,454 into equation (3) in part 2 above, we can compute the power cost formula as follows:
Total power cost = 6454 + (1.21 * Machine hours) ………………. (4)
Equation (4) is the power cost formula.
3-b. Evaluate the coefficient of determination.
This can be evaluated using the following formula:
R² = Coefficient of determination = (NΣxy – ΣxΣy) / ((NΣx² - (Σx)²) * (NΣy² - (Σy)²))^0.5 ……….. (5)
Substituting the relevant values into equation (5) we have:
R² = ((8 * 6,878,400,000) – (190,800 * 282,500)) / (((8 * 4,666,540,000) – 190.800²) * ((8 * 10,188,250,000) – 282,500²))^0.5
R² = 0.8969, or 89.69%
As a result of a thorough physical inventory, Sheridan Company determined that it had inventory worth $320800 at December 31, 2020. This count did not take into consideration the following facts: Herschel Consignment currently has goods worth $46300 on its sales floor that belong to Sheridan but are being sold on consignment by Herschel. The selling price of these goods is $74900. Sheridan purchased $22000 of goods that were shipped on December 27, FOB destination, that will be received by Sheridan on January 3. Determine the correct amount of inventory that Sheridan should report.
Answers
Answer:
Sheridan Company
The correct amount of inventory that Sheridan should report is:
= $367,100
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
December 31 Inventory based on physical inventory = $320,800
Goods held on consignment by Herschel = 46,300
December 27, FOB destination goods ($22,000) 0
Correct amount of inventory that Sheridan should report $367,100
b) Goods on consignment are generally the property of the consignor (supplier) and not the consignee's (retailer's). Therefore, they must appear in the balance sheet of the consignor. Goods on FOB destination remain the property of the supplier until they reach the buyer's destination. This is why it is not included above.
The East Asian financial crisis of the 1990s: Showed how trade partners are unreliable Made countries stop investing in China since India was experiencing an economic boom and was opening up. Forced countries in the region to import more and export less. Was not caused by financial contagion Was associated with moral hazard and fixed exchange rates
Answers
Answer:
The East Asian Financial Crisis of the 1990s:
Was associated with moral hazard and fixed exchange rates.
Explanation:
The countries which suffered adverse distress from the financial crisis were Indonesia, South Korea, and Thailand. The financial meltdown followed the collapse of the hot money bubble, whereby high interest rates and fixed foreign exchange rates were pegged to the U.S. dollars by these mostly exporting countries. The practice largely favored these Asian exporters until the bubble burst, starting from July of 1997. And the consequences and lessons now remain Economics and History topics.
