A good with a vertical supply curve and a declining demand curve has an equilibrium price of $20. the setting of a legally-binding minimum price. Consumer surplus and producer surplus combined decrease.
If the supply curve is vertical, all prices receive the same quantity of supply from the supplier. The shipping quantity won't alter despite the price modification. As a result, supply is entirely inelastic and has no price elasticity.
If the supply curve is vertical, the supply will always be the same regardless of the market price. Old manuscripts, rare stamps, and antique coins are examples of goods that cannot be increased or decreased. The supply curve for these goods is vertical. For instance, the area of land in the world can be considered fixed.

At the beginning of 2020, Beerbo acquired a mine for $970,000. Of this amount, $100,000 was ascribed to the land value (the remaining portion was ascribed to the mine). Surveys conducted by geologists have indicated that approximately 12,000,000 units of ore appear to be in the mine. Beerbo incurred $170,000 of development costs associated with this mine prior to any extraction of minerals. It also determined that the fair value of its obligation to prepare the land for an alternative use (when all of the minerals have been removed) is $40,000. During 2020, 2,500,000 units of ore were extracted and 2,100,000 of these units were sold. What is the amount extracted in 2020
Answer:
$225,000
Explanation:
Depletion rate = [Mine cost - Land value + Obligation to prepare the land for an alternative + Development cost] / Total number of ore extracted
Depletion rate = [$970,000 - $100,000 + $40,000 + $170,000] / $12,000,000
Depletion rate = $1,080,000/$12,000,000
Depletion rate = $0.09
Amount extracted in 2020 = Unit of ore extracted in 2020 / Depletion rate
Amount extracted in 2020 = 2,500,000 units * $0.09
Amount extracted in 2020 = $225,000

Suppose two types of firms wish to borrow in the bond market. Firms of type A are in good financial health and are relatively low risk. The appropriate premium over the risk-free rate for lending to these firms is 2%. Firms of type B are in poor financial health and are relatively high risk. The appropriate premium over the risk-free rate for lending to these firms is 6%. As an investor, you have no other information about these firms except that type A and type B firms exist in equal numbers.
A. At what interest rate would you be willing to lend if the risk-free rate were 6%?
B. Would this market function well? What type of asymmetric information problem does this example illustrate?
Answer:
A. I would be willing to lend at average rate of 10%
B-1. No, this market will not function well.
B-2. This example illustrates an adverse selection problem.
Explanation:
A. At what interest rate would you be willing to lend if the risk-free rate were 6%?
Appropriate interest rate for type A firm bond = Premium over the risk-free rate of Type A firm + Risk-free rate = 2% + 6% = 8%
Appropriate interest rate for type B firm bond = Premium over the risk-free rate of Type B firm + Risk-free rate = 6% + 6% = 12%
Average rate = (Appropriate interest rate for type A firm bond + Appropriate interest rate for type B firm bond) / 2 = (8% + 12%) / 2 = 10%
Since the probability of any of the two firms is equal and I do not have the knowledge of which type of firm they are dealing with, I would be willing to lend at average rate of 10%.
B-1. Would this market function well?
No, this market will not function well.
The reason is that the average rate of 10% is higher than the Appropriate interest rate for type A firm bond of 8%. This would make the type A firm to withdraw from the market and only type B firm will be left in the market.
B-2. What type of asymmetric information problem does this example illustrate?
This example illustrates an adverse selection problem. This is because after type A firm which is a desirable leaves the market, only type B firm which is the less desirable firms will be willing to borrow. This makes the quality of the market to detoriorate.

You run a construction firm. You have just won a contract to build a government office building Building it will require an investment of $10 million today and $5 million in one year. The government will pay you $20 million in one year upon the building's completion. Suppose the cash flows and their times of payment are certain, and the risk-free interest rate is 10%. What is the NPV of this opportunity? b. How can your firm turn this NPV into cash today?
Answer:
$3.64 million
The Npv can be turned into cash by borrowing $18.18 million today and paying back in one year time with the $20 million that would be paid
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-10 million
Cash flow in year 1 = $20 million - $5 million = 15 million
I = 10%
NPV = 3.63 million
The Npv can be turned into cash by borrowing $18.18 million today as the present value of 20 million is 18.18 million
20 million / 1.10 = 18.18 million
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

Problem 10-4 Partnership Formation (LO 10.2) Elaine's original basis in the Hornbeam Partnership was $40,000. Her share of the taxable income from the partnership since she purchased the interest has been $70,000, and Elaine has received $80,000 in cash distributions from the partnership. Elaine did not recognize any gains as a result of the distributions. In the current year, Hornbeam also allocated $1,000 of tax-exempt interest to Elaine. Calculate Elaine's current basis in her partnership interest. $fill in the blank 1 1,000
Answer:
$31,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine Elaine's current basis in her partnership interest
Using this formula
Elaine's current basis= Value of original basis + (interest purchased - Cash received) + Tax exempt interest
Let plug in the formula
Elaine's current basis= $40,000 + ($70,000 - $80,000) + $1,000
Elaine's current basis= $40,000 - $10,000 + $1,000
Elaine's current basis= $31,000
Therefore Elaine's current basis in her partnership interest is $31,000
Neville is a lawyer at a large law firm where he earns a salary of $170,000 per year. He is thinking of leaving the firm to set up his own law office. To do this, he would need to invest $140,000 of his savings, which currently earns 5% in interest each year. He estimates that if he starts a law office, his annual revenue will be $510,000, and his explicit financial costs will be $300,000. How much would Neville earn in economic profits or losses if he starts his own law office
Answer:
$33,000
Explanation:
Economic profit = accounting profit - implicit cost
Accounting profit= total revenue - explicit cost
Explicit cost includes the amount expended in running the business. They include rent , salary and cost of raw materials
Implicit cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives
Accounting profit = $510,000 - $300,000 = $210,000
Implicit costs = amount he would forgo as salary in the large law firm and interest he would lose on his investment
Interest he would lose on his investment = 0.05 x 140,000 = $7000
Implicit cost = $170,000 + $7000 = $177,000
Economic profit = $210,000 - $177,000 = $33,000
Maui Resort Inc. determined that the balance in its deferred tax asset account on December 31, 2020, was $50,000. Management reviewed all available positive and negative evidence to estimate that 30% of the deferred tax asset was more likely than not to be realized. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets has a December 31, 2020, unadjusted balance of $4,000 (credit).
Required:
Record the entry to adjust the allowance on December 31, 2020.
Answer:
Maui Resort Inc.
Journal Entry:
December 31, 2020:
Debit Loss from Unrealizable DTA $31,000
Credit Allowance for Unrealizable DTA $31,000
To record the loss from unrealizable DTA and increase the balance to $35,000 (credit).
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
December 31, 2020 Deferred Tax Asset (DTA) = $50,000
Estimate of realizable DTA = 30% of $50,000 = $15,000
Allowance for unrealizable DTA for 2020 = 70% of $50,000 = $35,000
Loss from unrealizable DTA = $31,000 ($35,000 - $5,000)
b) Like the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, the DTA Valuation Allowance is a contra-account to the Deferred Tax asset Account. It shows the amount of the deferred tax asset with a more than 50% probability of being lost or unutilized in the future as a result of the non-availability of sufficient future taxable income.
Bank Sohar declares the profit for the year ended 2019-20. They makes profit:
a.
When bank Sohar asset is less than the liability
b.
When their rate of interest on loan is greater than the deposit rates
c.
When their bank liability is greater than their assets
d.
When their rate of interest on loan is less than the deposit rates
Answer:
Option B
Explanation:
A bank makes profit when it gets more returns on the loan given as compared to the interest given on the deposited money.
Hence, option B is correct. In case A and C liability is greater than asset and hence this situation does not signify a profitable situation.
Also, option D is just the opposite of option B (profitable situation).

Job 412 was one of the many jobs started and completed during the year. The job required $9,500 in direct materials and 35 hours of direct labor time at a total direct labor cost of $10,400. If the job contained four units and the company billed at 70% above the unit product cost on the job cost sheet, what price per unit would have been charged to the customer
Answer:
The appropriate answer is "$8,457,50".
Explanation:
The given values are:
Direct material cost,
= $9,500
Direct labor cost,
= $10,400
Units completed in job 412,
= 4
Now,
The total cost for completion of job 412 will be:
= [tex]Direct \ materials \ cost + Direct \ labor \ costs[/tex]
On substituting the values, we get
= [tex]9,500 + 10,400[/tex]
= [tex]19,900[/tex] ($)
Unit produced cost will be:
= [tex]\frac{19,900}{4}[/tex]
= [tex]4,975[/tex] ($)
70% of unit produced cost will be the profit margin, then
= [tex]70 \ percent\times 4,975[/tex]
= [tex]3,482.50[/tex] ($)
hence,
The price charged to the customer will be:
= [tex]Unit \ product \ cost + Profit \ margin[/tex]
On substituting the values, we get
= [tex]4,975 + 3,482.50[/tex]
= [tex]8,457,50[/tex] ($)

Office salaries 222,000
Depreciation 165,000
Interest expense 10,075
Total expenses $1,184,575
Net income $765,425
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Selling price per unit = $25
Forecast sales units:
January 40,000
February 60,000
March 50,000
Total sales for the quarter = 150,000 units
Sales revenue = $3,750,000 (150,000 * $25)
Cost of goods sold = $12 per unit
Cost of goods sold = $1,800,000 (150,000 * $12)
Commission = 10% of sales dollars
Commission = $375,000 ($3,750,000 * 10%)
Rent = $17,000 per month (Total for quarter = $51,000)
Advertising = 11% of sales dollars
Advertising = $412,500 ($3,750,000 * 11%)
Office salaries = $74,000 per month (Total for quarter = $222,000)
Depreciation = $55,000 per month (Total for quarter = $165,000

A firm produces and sells two products, Plus and Max. The following information is available relating to setup costs (a part of factory overhead): Plus Max Units produced 200 16,000 Batch size (units) 10 400 Number of setups 20 40 Direct labor hours per unit 5 5 Total direct labor hours 1,000 80,000 Cost per setup$1,080 Total setup cost$64,800 Using number of setups as the activity base, the amount of setup cost allocated to each unit of product for Plus and Max, respectively is:Multiple Choice$21.60; $.54.$60.00; $60.00.$108.00; $2.70.$54.00; $27.00.$200.00; $16,000.00
Answer:
Apportioned set-up cost
Plus =$21,600
Max=$43,200
Explanation:
Activity-based costing is a form of absorption costing where overheads are charged to product using cost drivers.
Under this method, overheads are first analyzed and categorized by the activities responsible for them and then charged to product based on the amount of benefits enjoyed using cost drivers.
The cost driver in this scenario is the number of set-ups
Activity rate per driver is calculated as:
Activity overhead for the period / Total cost drivers for the period
So, we can apply this formula to the scenario above:
Set-up overhead= $64,800
Total set-ups for the period = 20 + 40 = 60
Overhead cost per set-up = $64,800/60=1,080
Set-up cost allocation:
Plus - 20 × 1,080=$21,600
Max- 40 × 1,080=$43,200
Apportioned set-up cost
Plus =$21,600
Max-=$43,200

Grouper Inc. has completed the purchase of new Dell computers. The fair value of the equipment is $675,803. The purchase agreement specifies an immediate down payment of $164,000 and semiannual payments of $63,101 beginning at the end of 6 months for 5 years. What is the interest rate, to the nearest percent, used in discounting this purchase transaction?
Answer:
The interest rate, to the nearest percent, used in discounting this purchase transaction 8%.
Explanation:
The interest rate can be calculated using the following RATE function in Excel:
Interest rate = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv,type)*n .............(1)
Where;
nper = number of periods = number of years to maturity * number of semiannual in a year = 5 * 2 = 10
pmt = semiannual payments = $63,101 = 63101
pv = present value = fair value balance = fair value - immediate down payment = $675,803 - $164,000 = $511,803 = 511803
fv = future value = desired cash balance after last payment = 0
type = when payments are due (0 = end of period. 1 = beginning of period) = 0
n = number of compounding period per year = number of semiannual in a year = 2
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Interest rate = RATE(10,63101,-511803,0,0)*2 .................. (2)
Inputting =RATE(10,63101,-511803,0,0)*2 into an excel sheet (Note: as done in the attached excel file), the Interest rate is obtained as 8.00%.
Therefore, the interest rate, to the nearest percent, used in discounting this purchase transaction 8%.
JoeFit, Inc. is using the basic FOQ model to manage its inventory for K2 microprocessors. The setup cost per order is $200 and the inventory carrying cost is $0.05 per chip per year. Suppose the company is placing the optimal order quantity in each order and the resulting total annual setup and carrying costs are $32,000. What is the annual demand of the K2 microprocessors
Answer:
51.2 million
Explanation:
The computation of the annual demand is shown below:
As we know that the total annual setup cost and the carrying cost would be equivalent to EOQ
Since the total annual setup cost & carrying cost is $32,000
So, for each it would be $16,000
Now
Total number of orders is
= $16000 ÷ $200
= 80 orders
And, Total inventory carrying cost = 0.05 × (EOQ ÷ 2)
$16000 = 0.05 × EOQ ÷ 2
$32000 ÷ 0.05 = EOQ
EOQ = 640000 units
Now
Total demand = 640000 × 80
= 51200000
= 51.2 million
The annual demand for the K2 microprocessors is 51.2 million.
The total annual setup and carrying costs are $32,000, therefore, the value of each will be:
= $32000/2
= $16000.
The total number of orders will be:
= 16000/200 = 80 orders
The economic order quantity will be:
16000 = 0.05 × (EOQ/2)
EOQ = 32000/0.05
EOQ = 640000
The total demand will be:
= 640000 × 80 = 51.2 million
In conclusion, the annual demand of the K2 microprocessors is 51.2 million.

describe the difference between real gdp and nominal gdp.
Answer:
You Should study :))
Explanation:
Possible misstatements that may occur during the cash receipts process result from cash receipts being received, but not recorded (which could facilitate embezzlement). A control technique that is used to mitigate the risk of such misstatements is to segregate the duties of the accounts receivable department, general ledger accounting records, and cash receipts. The employee who completed each duty is required to sign his/her initials, and evidence of this has been provided for you in the Accounts_Receivable file. In each transaction, proper segregation of duties is accomplished when no two duties have been completed by the same person. Use IDEA and the information from Roger Company Accounts_Receivable file to determine in which transactions segregation of duties was not properly implemented.
Answer:
There should be strong internal controls implemented and segregation of duties in the finance department.
Explanation:
There is lack of internal controls present in the company which may lead to fraud or errors. The employees assigned to record the transaction are not recording all the cash receipts and are missing some of the cash receipts which can cause errors during reconciliation. The sub divisions of finance department must be segregated and there should be a supervisor who should be responsible to review all the work done by these departments.

║⇒⇒⇒P (F/O)= 0.4⇒⇒ P (O∩F)= 0.24
The marginal Probability of the two firms
P (A)= 0.4
P (O)= 0.6
Where P (A) is the probability of Abercrombie firm
P (O) is the probability of Olson firm
The conditional probabilities are given by
P (S/A)= 0.7
P (F/A)= 0.3
Where P (S/A) is the conditional probability of Success of Abercrombie firm
P (F/A) is the conditional probability of failure of Abercrombie firm
Similarly
P (S/O)= 0.6
P (F/O)= 0.4
P (S/O) is the conditional probability of Success of Oslon firm
P (F/O) is the conditional probability of failure of Oslon firm
The probability table is given by

On December 31, Year 3, Alpha Company had an ending balance of $200,000 in its accounts receivable account and an unadjusted (current) balance in its allowance for doubtful accounts account of $300. Alpha estimates uncollectible accounts expense to be 1% of receivables. Based on this information, the amount of uncollectible accounts expense shown on the Year 3 income statement is:______.
a. $2.300.
b. $2200.
c. $1700.
d. $2.000.
Answer:
c. $1700.
Explanation:
The computation of the uncollectible account expense is shown below:
= Account receivable × estimated percentage - unadjusted balance
= $200,000 ×1% - $300
= $2,000 - $300
= $1,700
hence the uncollectible account expense is $1,700
Hence, the correct option is c.

Answer:
Vacation Destinations
1. The bonds were issued at a discount.
2. The original issue price of the bonds is: $32,512,829 ($9,28.94 per $1,000).
3. Face Amount is: $35,000,000
4. The stated annual interest rate is 6%.
5. The market annual interest rate is 7%.
6. The Total cash paid for interest, assuming the bonds mature in 10 years is $21,000,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Face value of bonds = $35,000,000
Interest rate = 6% ($1,050,000/$35,000,000 * 100) x 2
Discounted value $32,512,829
Discounts = $2,487,171
Amortization of discounts during the first interest payment = $87,949
Amortization of discounts during the December 31, 2021 interest payment = $91,027
Original issue price = $9,28.94 ($32,512,829/35,000)
Market annual interest rate = ($1,137,949/$32,512,829 * 100) * 2 = 7%
Total cash paid for interest = $1,050,000 * 10 * 2 = $21,000,000
Portions of the bond amortization schedule appear below:
