Answer:
$2 billion
The amounts that would be included in GDP include the cost of hiring workers and the cost of cleaning up the spill.
1 billion + 1 billion = $2 billion
The negative effects of the oil spill would not be included in GDP because effects of population is not included in GDP.
Also, the value of the oil discovered would not be included in GDP because it was not sold in the current year.
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Net export = exports imports
When exports exceed import there is a trade deficit and when import exceeds import, there is a trade surplus.
Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:
services not rendered to oneself
Activities not reported to the government
illegal activities
sale or purchase of used products
sale or purchase of intermediate products
Nominal GDP is GDP calculated using current year prices while Real GDP is GDP calculated using base year prices. Real GDP has been adjusted for inflation.
X Manufacturing uses a normal cost system and had the following data available for 20x8: Direct materials purchased on account $148,000 Direct materials requisitioned 98,000 Direct labor cost incurred 127,000 Factory overhead budgeted 155760 Factory overhead incurred 137,800 Cost of goods sold 260,000 Beginning direct materials inventory 34,000 Beginning WIP inventory 70,000 Beginning finished goods inventory 55,000 Ending finished goods inventory 104,000 Overhead application rate, as a percent of direct-labor costs 118% Round your answers to the nearest dollar. Fill in the blank without $ or comma or period, e.g., 12345 What is the adjusted cost of goods sold assuming the over/under applied overhead is immaterial?
Answer:
Adjusted cost of goods sold = $247,940
Explanation:
Under / Over-applied overhead = Factory overhead incurred - Factory overhead applied
Under / Over-applied overhead = Factory overhead incurred - (Direct labor cost*Overhead application rate)
= $137,800 - ($127,000*118%)
Over-applied overhead = $137,800 - $149,860
Over-applied overhead = ($12,060)
Adjusted cost of goods sold = Unadjusted cost of goods sold - Over-applied overhead
Adjusted cost of goods sold = $260,000 - $12,060
Adjusted cost of goods sold = $247,940
Meyer & Smith is a full-service technology company. They provide equipment, installation services as well as training. Customers can purchase any product or service separately or as a bundled package. Container Corporation purchased computer equipment, installation and training for a total cost of $144,000 on March 15, 2021. Estimated standalone fair values of the equipment, installation, and training are $90,000, $60,000, and $30,000 respectively. Determine The transaction price allocated to equipment is The transaction price allocated to installation is The transaction price allocated to training is Express your answer as an integer without $ sign (Round all computations to the nearest dollar. For example, input "100,000" if your answer is $100,000.22).
Answer & Explanation:
If the services were sold separately, their total cost would be;
= 90,000 + 60,000 + 30,000
= $180,000
They were instead bundled together and sold for $144,000
The cost of the individual services will therefore be a proportion of this bundled price based on their proportion were they sold alone.
The transaction price allocated to equipment;
= (90,000/180,000) * 144,000
= $72,000
The transaction price allocated to installation;
= (60,000/180,000) * 144,000
= $48,000
The transaction price allocated to training;
= (30,000/180,000) * 144,000
= $24,000
Economic Order Quantity computes:
A: Cost of an order
B: Re-order level
C: Cost of stock
D: Optimum Order size
Answer:
D: Optimum Order size
Explanation:
Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is a formula applied in logistic and supply chain management to calculate a business's ideal order size. As the name suggests, the order EOQ provides an order quantity that makes economic sense.
Economies of scale suggest that a bigger order size is better because the business will save transport costs. However, ordering in large quantities increases the cost of holding stock. The economic order quantity strikes a balance between these two important factors.
You can buy a property today for $4 million and sell it in 6 years for $5 million. You will not earn any rental income on the property. Answer the following questions. a.) If the interest rate is 5%, what is the present value of the sales price? _____________ (4 pts) b.) Is this a good investment for you? Explain your answer ____________________________ _______________________________________________________________________(4 pts) c.) If the interest rate is 5%, what is the present value of the sales price if you also earned $200,000 in rental income each year? _______________________________________________(4 pts)
Answer:
a. Present value = $3,731,076.98
It is not a good investment because the present value of the sales price is less than the purchase price of the property. This means that purchasing the property would be unprofitable.
c. Present value = $4,746,215.40
Explanation:
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator
a. Cash flow each year from year 1 to 5 = 0
Cash flow in year 6 = $5,000,000
I = 5%
Present value = $3,731,076.98
It is not a good investment because the present value of the sales price is less than the purchase price of the property. This means that purchasing the property would be unprofitable.
c. Cash flow each year from year 1 to 5 = $200,000
cash flow in year 6 = $200,000 + $5,000,000 = $5,200,000
I = 5%
Present value = $4,746,215.40
To find the PV 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.

A market has four individuals, each considering buying a grill. Assume that grills come in only one size and model. Martina considers herself a grill-master, and finds a grill a necessity, so she is willing to pay $400 for a grill. Javier is a meat-lover, honing his grilling skills, and is willing to pay $350 for a grill. Kamal wants to impress his friends with his vegetable grilling skills and is willing to pay $320 for a grill. Lina loves grilled shrimp and thinks it might be cheaper in the long run if she grills her own shrimp instead of eating out at a restaurant, so she is willing to pay $200 for a grill. If the market price of grills is $300, who will participate in the market?
Answer:
Martina
Javier :
Kama
Explanation:
The people that would participate in the market are those whose willingness to pay is higher than the market price for the grill.
The willingness to pay is the highest amount a person would be willing to pay for a good
Martina : $400 > $300 would participate
Javier : $350 > $300 would participate
Kama : $320 > $300 would participate

You receive a credit card application from Shady Banks Savings and Loan offering an introductory rate of .6 percent per year, compounded monthly for the first six months, increasing thereafter to 17.5 percent compounded monthly. Assume you transfer the $6,500 balance from your existing credit card and make no subsequent payments. How much interest will you owe at the end of the first year? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
Total interest paid = $606.63
Explanation:
First calculate the monthly payment for first six months
Monthly interest for first 6 months =.006/12=.0005
= 6500*(1.0005)^6
=6519.52
Interest rate for next six months
=17.37%/12=1.45%
(1.0145)^6=1.090054
=6519.52*(1+.0145)^6
=7106.63
Total interest paid = 7106.63-6500
Total interest paid = 606.63

Your company has a line of credit through a local bank. The bank requires a 6% compensating balance and charges 12% on the amount borrowed against the line. If the company needs $100,000 to purchase inventory, find the amount it should borrow, and calculate the effective annual rate on the loan (b) You’ve worked out a line of credit arrangement that allows you to borrow up to $100 million at any time. The interest rate is 0.4 percent per month. In addition, 5% of the amount that you borrow must be deposited in a non-interest bearing account (i.e. a compensating balance). Assume that your bank uses compound interest on its line of credit loans. What is the effective annual rate (EAR) on the loan? W
Answer:
A) 19.15%
B) 68.53%
Explanation:
as it requires 6% of compensating balance the company you ask for:
$100,000 / (1 - 6%) = 106.382,98
Now we solve for the effective rate.
106,382.98 x (1 + 0,12) = 100,000 x (1 + r)
r = 119.148,93/100,000 - 1 = 0,1914893
B) we do the same procedure as the previous one

Leo Consulting enters into a contract with Highgate University to restructure Highgate’s processes for purchasing goods from suppliers. The contract states that Leo will earn a fixed fee of $25,000 and earn an additional $10,000 if Highgate achieves $100,000 of cost savings. Leo estimates a 50% chance that Highgate will achieve $100,000 of cost savings. Assuming that Leo determines the transaction price as the expected value of expected consideration, what transaction price will Leo estimate for this contract?
Answer:
The transaction price would Leo estimated for this contract is $30,000
Explanation:
The computation of the transaction price is shown below:
= (Fixed fee + additional amount) × chance + fixed fee × chance
= $35,000 × 50% + $25,000 × 50%
= $17,500 + $12,500
= $30,000
hence, the transaction price would Leo estimated for this contract is $30,000

An American currency dealer has good credit and can borrow either $1,000,000 or €800,000 for one year. The one-year interest rate is i$ = 2% in the U.S. and i€ = 6% in the euro zone, respectively. The spot exchange rate is $1.25 = €1.00 and the one-year forward exchange rate is $1.20 = €1.00. Show how you can realize a certain dollar profit via covered interest arbitrage.
a. Borrow $1,000,000 at 2%; trade $1,000,000 for €800,000 at the spot rate; invest euros at i€= 6%;translate euro proceeds back to dollars at the forward rate of $1.20 = €1.00. Gross proceeds will be $1,017,600.
b. Borrow $1,000,000 at 2%; trade $1,000,000 for €800,000 at the spot rate; invest euros at i€= 6%;translate euro proceeds back to dollars at the forward rate of $1.20 = €1.00. Net profit will be $17,600.
c. Borrow €800,000 at i€= 6%;translate euros to dollars at the spot rate, invest dollars in the U.S. at i$ = 2% for one year; translate dollars back to €850,000 at the forward rate of $1.20 = €1.00. Net profit will be €2,000.
d. Borrow €800,000 at i€= 6%;translate euros to dollars at the spot rate, invest dollars in the U.S. at i$ = 2% for one year; translate dollars back to €848,000 at the forward rate of $1.20 = €1.00. Net profit will be $2,400.
Answer:
c. Borrow €800,000 at i€= 6%;translate euros to dollars at the spot rate, invest dollars in the U.S. at i$ = 2% for one year; translate dollars back to €850,000 at the forward rate of $1.20 = €1.00. Net profit will be €2,000.
Explanation:
borrow 800,000€ today and purchase $1,000,000
invest the $1,000,000 and get $1,020,000 in one year
purchase back $1,020,000 / $1.20 = 850,000€
pay your loan resulting in a = 850,000€ - (800,000€ x 1.06) = 850,000€ - 848,000€ = 2,000€ gain
if you borrow $1,000,000 and purchase 800,000€
invest 800,000€ and get 848,000€ in one year
purchase back 848,000€ x 1.2 = $1,017,600
pay your loan back = $1,017,600 - ($1,000,000 x 1.02%) = $1,017,600 - $1,020,000 = -$2,400 loss

Normal costing refers to the actual cost of direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead applied. This cost is calculated by using a predetermined annual overhead rate.
Direct costs are expenses involved in producing goods or providing services and indirect costs are general expenses that are involved in operating.
The statement about normal costing which is not true is ''Direct costs are traced using an actual rate, and indirect costs are allocated using a budgeted rate''
Hudek Inc., a manufacturing Corporation, has provided the following data for the month of July. The balance in the Work in Process inventory account was $20,000 at the beginning of the month and $10,000 at the end of the month. During the month, the Corporation incurred direct materials cost of $50,000 and direct labor cost of $22,000. The actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred was $58,000. The manufacturing overhead cost applied to Work in Process was $56,000. The cost of goods manufactured for July was:
Answer:
$138,000
Explanation:
The computation of cost of goods manufactured for July is shown below:-
Cost of goods manufactured for July = Opening work in progress + Direct material + Direct labor + Manufacturing cost - Closing work in progress
= $20,000 + $50,000 + $22,000 + $56,000 - $10,000
= $148,000 - $10,000
= $138,000
Therefore for computing the cost of goods manufactured for July we simply applied the formula.
As organizations expand into global markets, business communicators need to become aware of their own culture and how it differs from other cultures. Cultural awareness allows professionals to communicate successfully with other cultures and to navigate the intercultural challenges of a globalized business world. The first step in overcoming intercultural obstacles is understanding the trends that drive globalization.

Lovely Company offers a 2-year warranty on its product and as of 1/1/2018 Lovely’s warranty liability had an overall balance of $415. During 2018 Lovely sold 1,600 units of inventory at a selling price of $125 per unit and repaired 62 units under warranty at a total repair cost to Lovely of $740. When accounting for warranty cost, Lovely studies prior year customer claims as well as projected labor and material costs and for 2018, Lovely estimated that 4% of the units sold in 2018 would break over the 2-year warranty period at an estimated repair cost of $12.50 per unit. What amount should Lovely report at 12/31/2018 as warranty liability
Answer:
$475
Explanation:
the summary journal entry to record sales revenue and warranty expense during 2018:
Dr Cash 200,000
Cr Sales revenue 200,000
Dr Warranty expense 800
Cr Warranty liability 800
The journal entry to account for actual warranty costs:
Dr Warranty liability 740
Cr Cash (or wages payable or inventory) 740
the December 31, 2018 balance of warranty liability = initial balance + warranty liability associated to 2018 sales - incurred warranty costs = $415 + $800 - $740 = $475
XYZ Corporation has a 6 1/2% convertible bond outstanding that is convertible into 40 shares of common stock. The bond is currently selling in the market at 85 ($850) and the common stock is selling at 21. The XYZ Corporation is offering its existing bondholders a new straight (nonconvertible) bond paying 6 1/2% that matures at the same time as the convertible bond. The effect of the successful completion of the proposal would be to:_________
a) Reduce interest costs
b) Reduce potential dilution
c) Have no effect on interest costs
d) Increase dilution
Answer:
b) Reduce potential dilution
c) Have no effect on interest costs
Explanation:
Since in the question it is mentioned that the corporation is offering its existing bondholders for paying 6 1/2% this matured at the same time just like the convertible bond.
So here if the proposal is completed so the impact would be reduction in the potential dilution also it would not have impact on the effect on the interest rate and the same is to be considered

Spaceley’s Sprockets has just developed a new product. George Jetson, the Head of Product Development, feels that the product is a winner, but he also feels it would be an even better product if waited six more months for further development before launching. Unfortunately, Spaceley’s closest competitor, Cogsley Cogs, has a similar product in the development pipeline. George feels that if he launches the product now to get a head start on Cogsley, he has a 50% chance of achieving a high level of sales, a 30% chance of a medium level of sales, and a 20% chance of a low level of sales. If he waits, he has a 30% chance of a high level of sales, and a 70% chance of a medium level of sales, with no chance of a low level of sales. High sales represents 100,000 units, medium sales represents 65,000 units, and low sales represents 10,000 units. If his objective is to maximize his expected number of units sold, what should George do and how many units would he be expected to sell
Answer:
George should wait for six more months for further development before launching.
Total units expected to be sold by this time is 75500 units
Explanation:
when launched early
Spaceley has : 50% of high level sale, 30% chance of medium level sale
20% chance of low level sale
When launched late
Spaceley has : 30% of high level sale, 70% of medium level sale, o% of low level sale
while
High sales = 100000
Medium sale = 65000
low level sale = 10000
A) when launched early
50% * 100000 = 50000
30% * 65000 = 19500
20% * 10000 = 2000
Total sales = 71500 units
B) when launched after 6 months
30% * 100000 = 30000
70% * 65000 = 45500
Total sales = 75500 units
George should wait for six more months for further development before launching.
Total units expected to be sold by this time is 75500 units
