A new minor league baseball stadium is opening soon and the owner is only allowing local, family-owned restaurants to sell within the park. Two hotdog vendors are set to sell within the stadium: (i) The HOT Dog and (ii) Ballpark Frankies. The Baseball park necessitates that the vendors set their prices at the beginning of each season and then hold the price constant during the games that occur that season. The fans are not sensitive to the quality of the hotdog, just the price. The two vendors have every inclination to stay in the ballpark for the life of their firms, so imagine that this will be an infinitely repeated game. Based on relative prices, the potential payoffs for the season are listed below: The HOT Dog Ballpark Frankies Low Price High Price Low Price $10,000 , $10,000 $90,000 , -$3,000 High Price -$3,000 , $90,000 $20,000 , $20,000 Given the high current interest rate of 10%, The HOT Dog is considering to post a high price in the inaugural season and hope that Ballpark Frankies follows as well with a high price of their own. Evaluate if this is a risky strategy for The HOT Dog.
Answer:
This is a very risky strategy for The HOT Dog.
Explanation:
Seeing as how they must keep the price continuously throughout the season, if Frankies' sets a low price, The HOT Dog will lose almost all of their business.

CP borrows 48% of all capital needed, and the borrowing rate is 13.4%. In the 1st year, 25% of the principal borrowed will be paid back. The throughput rate for in-process test samples has increased the capacity of the lab, saving a net of $X per year. In this 1st year, depreciation is $362,000 and taxable income is $329,000.
Required:
a. What is the gross income or annual savings?
b. Determine the income tax for the 1st year assuming a marginal tax rate of 40%.
c. What is the after-tax cash flow for the 1st year?
Answer:
Chevron Phillips (CP)
a. The gross income or annual savings is:
= $804,846.
b. The income tax for the 1st year assuming a marginal tax rate of 40% is:
= $131,600.
c. The after-tax cash flow for the 1st year is:
= $559,400.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations;
Cost of new laboratory equipment = $1,770,000
Borrowed capital = $849,600 ($1,770,000 * 48%)
Borrowing rate = 13.4%
Borrowing interest expense for the first year = $113,846
Depreciation = $362,000
Taxable income = $329,000
Gross savings = $X
$X = $804,846 ($113,846 + $362,000 + $329,000)
Income tax for the 1st year:
Marginal tax rate = 40%
Taxable income = $329,000
= $131,600 ($329,000 * 40%)
After-tax Cash Flows for the 1st year:
Gross savings = $804,846
Interest expense 113,846
Depreciation 362,000
Taxable income $329,000
Income tax 131,600
Net income $197,400
Cash Flows:
Net income $197,400

Blues Inc. manufactures jeans in the cutting and sewing process. Jeans are manufactured in 40-jean batch sizes. The cutting time is 5 minutes per jean. The sewing time is 20 minutes per jean. It takes 2 minutes to move a batch of jeans from cutting to sewing. a. Compute the value-added, non-value-added, and total lead time of this process. Value-added lead time fill in the blank 1 minutes Non-value-added lead time fill in the blank 2 minutes Total lead time fill in the blank 3 minutes b. Compute the value-added ratio. Round to one decimal place.
Answer:
a. Value added time = Cutting time + Sewing time
Value added time = 5 minutes + 20 minutes
Value added time = 25 minutes
Non-value added time = Total within batch wait time + Move time
Non-value added time = [25 minutes * (40 - 1) + 2 minutes
Non-value added time = 977 minutes
Total lead time = Value added time + Non-value added time
Total lead time = 25 minutes + 977 minutes
Total lead time = 1,002 minutes
b. Value added ratio = Value added time / Total lead time
Value added ratio = 25 minutes / 1,002 minutes
Value added ratio = 0.02495
Value added ratio = 2.5%

Which of the following is true? In a one-shot game, a collusive strategy always represents a Nash equilibrium. A subgame perfect equilibrium occurs when each player is doing the best he can regardless of what the other player is doing. Each Nash equilibrium is a subgame perfect equilibrium. Correct! Every subgame perfect equilibrium is a Nash equilibrium.
Answer: Each Nash equilibrium is a subgame perfect equilibrium.
Explanation:
The Nash Equilibrium in a game is the outcome of which neither of the players would want to deviate from because they are making the highest payoff that they can given the other player's possible choice and leaving this outcome would result in a lower payoff.
In every subgame that is based on the original game therefore, the Nash equilibrium represents the perfect equilibrium for the players as it is giving the highest payoff given the circumstances.
The Distance Plus partnership has the following capital balances at the beginning of the current year: Tiger (50% of profits and losses)$70,000Phil (40%) 40,000Ernie (10%) 55,000 Each of the following questions should be viewed independently. If Sergio invests $60,000 in cash in the business for a 25 percent interest, what journal entry is recorded
Answer:
Cash A/c (Dr) $60,000
Sergio Capital A/c (Cr) $41,250
Tiger Capital A/c (Cr) $9,375
Phil Capital A/c (Cr) $7,500
Ernie Capital A/c (Cr) $1,875
(To record admission of new partner)
Explanation:
The total investment by Sergio is $60,000 in cash will be debited in the journal entry recorded. His interest in the business is 25% which would be credited. So, first we calculate the total investment already made by the partners which is $165,000 (70,000 + 40,000 + 55,000).
Now, Sergio's investment is 25% of the total share of investment made by the partners which accounts to $41,250 (165,000 * 25%). This amount will be credited as Sergio Capital A/c.
The difference $18,750 (60,000 - 41,250) will credited in the capital A/c of other partners which would be divided proportionately to their business share. As done below:
Tiger Capital A/c - $9,375 (18,750 * 50%)
Phil Capital A/c - $7,500 (18,750 * 40%)
Ernie Capital A/c - $1,875 (18,750 * 10%)
Efficient private provision of pure public goods is difficult because too much will be demanded as each consumer is forced to buy his or her own units of the public good too little will be demanded because private provision leads to higher marginal costs than public provision. too much will be produced as fi rms compete with each other for the public’s dollars. too little will be demanded as, individually, consumers choose not to pay the full cost of units of the good.
Answer:
too little will be demanded as, individually, consumers choose not to pay the full cost of units of the good.
Explanation:
Factors of production can be defined as the fundamental building blocks used by individuals or business firms for the manufacturing of finished goods and services in order to meet the unending needs and requirements of their customers.
The four factors of production are;
I. Land: this refers to the natural resources and raw materials extracted from the ground or grown in the soil e.g oil, gold, rubber, cocoa, etc.
II. Labor (working): this is the human capital or workers who are saddled with the responsibility of overseeing and managing all the aspects of production.
III. Capital resources: it includes the physical assets used for production of goods and services such as equipment, money, plant, etc.
IV. Entrepreneurship: it is intellectual capacity required to drive a business and the skills to develop an idea into a money making venture (business).
These four (4) factors of production when combined effectively and efficiently are used for the manufacturing or production of goods and services that meets the unending requirements or needs of the consumers.
Circular flow model is an economic model that is used by economists to show or demonstrate how money, goods and services move from one economic agent to another such as producer, workers, wholesaler, retailer and consumers (households).
An efficient private provision of pure public goods is difficult because too little will be demanded as, individually, consumers choose not to pay the full cost of units of the good.
Geralt of Rivia is an independent contractor who specializes in monster-killing. His unique skills have earned him the bargaining power to sell his services at a high price to those willing to pay for the removal of infestations of fire elementals, rock trolls, royal wyverns, or the like. Geralt specializes only in hard-to-kill monsters, however, leaving the likes of basiliks and harpies, monsters lower on the totem pole, to less sophisticated monster slayers.
Given these facts, based on the Generic Business Strategies framework, we might say that Geralt occupies the_______ (1) quadrant of the framework.
When Geralt takes a contract from a rich village seeking his aid, they represent a/n _______(2)
Geralt often buys potions and elixirs from various alchemists to help his fighting ability. However, he can make these potions and elixirs himself if he has the time. If he were to do this instead of buying from the alchemists, this would constitute a form of________ (3)
When Geralt takes a contract, it usually requires about a week of planning and preparation, which includes trips to the armorer, time spent making alchemical concoctions that protect him during the confrontation with the monster(s), and the staking out of ideal fighting ground when the battle occurs. As such, Geralt ofter has to choose between contracts, sometimes accepting one contract while forgoing the opportunity to pursue another contract. As we have discussed, this decision constitutes a_________ (4).
Now, let's say that Geralt is governed by a neutral "Council of Witchers" that ensure that those who purchase Geralt's services (e.g., rich villages or principalities plagued by monster infestations) are well-served, and that Geralt spends their gold in ways that work toward the removal of the targeted monsters which these clients have paid to have removed.
We might say that this "Council" serves as Geralt's role in this arrangement. Geralt, in turn, serves as the ______(5) and that the purchasers of Geralt's services, such as rich villages, represent the________ (6) in this arrangement. х (1) differentiation (2) buyer х (3) forward integration (4) tradeoff (5) management х (6) party __________(7) agent
Answer: 1. Differentiation focus
2. Buyer
3. Backward Integration
4. Trade off
5. Board of directors
6. Principal
7. Agent
Explanation:
1. Geralt is using Differentiation focus strategy as it gives the customers a product which they believe is superior than other similar products although the price if the product is higher than others. The product is unique from other products.
2. When Geralt takes a contract from a rich village seeking his aid, they represent a buyer.
3. If Geralt makes the potions and elixirs himself if he has the time rather than buying from the alchemists, this would constitute a form of backward integration. This is because he's expanding his role by taking up a task that's being completed previously in the supply chain.
4. Since Geralt has to choose between contracts, this is a trade off. Trade occurs when we've to choose between alternatives. In this case, we forgo some at the expense of others.
5. Based in the information given, Geralt serves as the board of director.
6. Those who buy Geralt's services, such as rich villages, represent the Principal.
7. Geralt serves as the agent. He's the one negotiating contracts and supplying what's needed.
The production department in a process manufacturing system completed 80,000 units of product and transferred them to finished goods during a recent period. Of these units, 32,000 were in process at the beginning of the period. The other 48,000 units were started and completed during the period. At period-end, 17,500 units were in process.
Prepare the department’s equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials under each of the three separate assumptions using the FIFO method for process costing.
During its first year of operations, Silverman Company paid $15,085 for direct materials and $10,200 for production workers' wages. Lease payments and utilities on the production facilities amounted to $9,200 while general, selling, and administrative expenses totaled $4,700. The company produced 6,050 units and sold 3,700 units at a price of $8.20 a unit. What is the amount of finished goods inventory on the balance sheet at year-end
Answer:
$13,395
Explanation:
Finished Goods Inventory = Production Cost x Ending Units / Units Produced
where,
Production Cost is Calculated as :
Consider only production costs.
Production Cost = $15,085 + $10,200 + $9,200 = $34,485
Ending Units = 6,050 units - 3,700 units = 2,350 units
Units Produced = 6,050 units
therefore,
Finished Goods Inventory = $34,485 x 2,350 units/ 6,050 units = $13,395

Mrs. Eller's corporate employer has a cafeteria plan under which its employees can receive a $3,000 year-end Christmas bonus or enroll in a qualified medical reimbursement plan that pays up to $3,000 of annual medical bills. Mrs. Eller is in a 24 percent tax bracket, and her medical bills average $2,300 each year.
a. Should Mrs. Eller choose the cash bonus or the nontaxable fringe benefit? (Ignore any payroll tax implications.)
b. Does your answer change if Mrs. Eller is in the 12 percent tax bracket?
Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation is shown below;
Cash bonus after tax is ($3,000 × (1 - 0.24) $2,280
And, non taxable fringe benefit is $2,300
So here he should use the nontaxable fringe benefit
b. Yes answer would be changed
Cash bonus after tax is ($3,000 × (1 - 0.12) $2,640
And, non taxable fringe benefit is $2,300
hence, the same is to be considered
In one sentence, briefly explain why a secretary must finalise his or her minutes in the shortest possible time after a meeting has ended
Answer:
Every set of minutes should include basic information about the meeting, starting with the meeting type -- committee or general -- and the time and date at which it started. The secretary should also record the names of all parties present as well if any members were excused from the meeting before it opened. If members arrive late to the meeting, note the time at which they arrived. In addition, if a proxy represents a member or a quorum of members, such as the case of a shareholder's meeting, the minutes should reflect his presence. The secretary should also record the time at which the meeting adjourns

Which one of the following statements is TRUE? a. If a company has a classified board, fewer board seats are filled each year. b. A classified board is one in which an announcement requesting applications for board members appears in the newspaper. c. One tool of corporate governance is choosing a good investment banker. d. A classified board is one in which the board members serve anonymously. e. In a classified board, it is easier for dissidents to gain representation since fewer seats are up for election each year.
Answer:
The true statement about a classified board is:
a. If a company has a classified board, fewer board seats are filled each year.
Explanation:
If Company A has a classified board of directors, it implies that it has a structure that enthrones continuity and stability, enables some portion of the directors to be elected each year, and ensures that different directors have different terms to serve the company. Depending on their classifications, some directors serve one or two years, some three or four years, some five or six years, and others servicing seven or eight years. This type of structured board staggers the board membership, helping to save the company from unintended takeover bids, and ensuring stability and continuity.

Net operating income $1,797,500 $1,899,875 $2,036,310
2. The difference in the operating incomes for January, February, and March under variable costing and absorption costing is due to the way the fixed cost per month is accounted for in cost of goods sold and ending inventory. With variable costing, all variable costs are included, while absorption includes both variable and fixed manufacturing costs. This makes the ending inventory of variable costing to be carried forward to the next period while absorption costing includes every fixed cost as period costs.

Haver Company currently produces component RX5 for its sole product. The current cost per unit to manufacture the required 69,000 units of RX5 follows. Direct materials $ 5.00 Direct labor 9.00 Overhead 10.00 Total costs per unit $ 24.00 Direct materials and direct labor are 100% variable. Overhead is 80% fixed. An outside supplier has offered to supply the 69,000 units of RX5 for $19.00 per unit. Required: 1. Determine the total incremental cost of making 69,000 units of RX5. 2. Determine the total incremental cost of buying 69,000 units of RX5. 3. Should the company make or buy RX5
Answer:
It is cheaper to make the units in-house. The company will save $207,000.
Explanation:
Giving the following formula:
Production:
Direct materials $ 5.00
Direct labor 9.00
Varaible overhead= 10 - 8= $2
Total fixed overhead= (10*0.8)*69,000= $621,000
Direct materials and direct labor are 100% variable.
Overhead is 80% fixed.
An outside supplier has offered to supply the 69,000 units of RX5 for $19.00 per unit.
I will assume that none of the fixed overhead is avoidable.
First, we need to calculate the incremental cost of making 69,000 units. As it is incremental, we will take into account only the variable costs:
Make in-house:
Total variable cost= 69,000*(5 + 9 + 2)= $1,104,000
Now, the total cost of buying:
Buy:
Total cost= 69,000*19= $1,311,000
It is cheaper to make the units in-house. The company will save $207,000.

Stephen Company had the following partial list of account balances at year-end: Accounts Receivable: $9,000 Cost of Goods Sold: $34,100 Sales Revenue: $57,200 Accounts Payable: $7,500 Sales Discounts: $1,600 Merchandise Inventory: $5,900 Operating Expenses: $8,400 Sales Returns and Allowances: $4,300 The amount of Gross Profit shown on the income statement would be: A) $ 26,200 B) $ 8,800 C) $ 17,200 D) $ 8,200 E) $ 11,300
Answer:
The correct option is C) $17,200.
Explanation:
The amount of Gross Profit shown on the income statement can be calculated as follows:
Net sales revenue = Sales Revenue - Sales Discounts - ales Returns and Allowances = $57,200 - $1,600 - $4,300 = $51,300
Gross profit = Net sales revenue - Cost of Goods Sold = $51,300 - $34,100 = $17,200
Therefore, the correct option is C) $17,200. That is, the amount of Gross Profit shown on the income statement would be $17,200.
If Apple uses the variable cost method to set selling prices and plans a markup of 200% of variable costs, what is the expected selling price per unit of this new phone? 2. Assume that Apple is a "price taker" and the market sales price for this type of phone is $800 per unit. Compute Apple’s target cost if the company desires a profit of 60% of sales price.
Question Completion:
Assume Apple is designing a new smartphone. Each unit of this new phone is expected to require $230 of direct materials, $10 of direct labor, $20 of variable overhead, and $20 of variable selling and administrative costs.
Answer:
Apple
1. The expected selling price per unit of this new phone is:
= $860.
2. Apple's target cost if the company desires a profit of 60% of the sales price is:
= $320.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Method of setting prices = 200% Markup on Variable Cost
Direct materials cost per unit = $230
Direct labor cost per unit = $10
Variable overhead cost per unit = $20
Variable selling and administrative cost per unit = $20
Total variable cost = $280
Markup = $560
Expected selling price = $840
Selling price per unit = $800
Target profit of sales price = 480
Target cost = $320
= $800 * (100 - 60)
= $320

Determine which one of these three portfolios dominates another. Name the dominated portfolio and the portfolio that dominates it. Portfolio Blue has an expected return of 13 percent and risk of 17 percent. The expected return and risk of portfolio Yellow are 19 percent and 15 percent, and for the Purple portfolio are 18 percent and 22 percent. multiple choicePortfolio Purple dominates portfolios Blue and Yellow.Portfolio Blue dominates portfolios Yellow and Purple.Portfolio Yellow dominates portfolios Blue and Purple.
Answer: Yellow dominates portfolios Blue and Purple.
Explanation:
Portfolio Yellow has a higher expected return than either portfolio Blue or Portfolio Purple which means that if we were evaluating the portfolios on return alone, Portfolio Yellow would dominate the other two.
However, we need to adjust for risk. The portfolio with the lowest standard deviation is the less riskier one of the three. That portfolio is Yellow which means that Yellow has both a higher expected return and a lower risk. It would therefore dominate the rest.
