Answer: D. Upper income earners are big winners due to the fact that they can better exploit nonprice rationing devices.
Explanation:
The market is price rationing which means that when there is more demand than supply for a particular good, it would allocate that good based on price i.e. it will increase the price which would reduce demand and so those who can afford it will afford it.
Nonprice rationing devices (like discrimination) attempt to do this same thing but without using the price mechanism when measures like rent controls are in place.
This means that landlords will start to selectively pick tenants so that they will be sure that they will be paid because they will feel that lower income earners (who can now rent the property due to the rent control) will have a harder time paying. Upper income earners will therefore be big winners because they will get preferential treatment.
Newton Company currently produces and sells 5,000 units of a product that has a contribution margin of $6 per unit. The company sells the product for a sales price of $20 per unit. Fixed costs are $40,000. The company is considering investing in new technology that would decrease the variable cost per unit to $9 per unit and double total fixed costs. The company expects the new technology to increase production and sales to 10,000 units of product. What sales price would have to be charged to earn a $90,000 target profit assuming the investment in technology is made
Answer:
26
Explanation:
The computation of sales price is shown below:-
Particulars Amount
New Fixed Costs $80,000
($40,000 × 2)
Variable Cost per unit $9
Total variable cost on 10,000 Units $90,000
(10,000 × $9)
Total cost $170,000
Profit desired $90,000
Sales $260,000
Number of units 10,000
sales price per unit $26
For computing the sales price per unit we simply divide the number of units by sales price per unit.

Determine the amount of tax liability in the following situations. In all cases, the taxpayer is using the filing status of married filing jointly. Use the appropriate Tax Tables or Tax Rate Schedules.
1. Taxable income of $62,449 that includes a qualified dividend of $560.
2. Taxable income of $12,932 that includes a qualified dividend of $322.
3. Taxable income of $144,290 that includes a qualified dividend of $4,384. (Round your intermediate computations to 2 decimal places and final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
4. Taxable income of $43,297 that includes a qualified dividend of $971.
5. Taxable income of $262,403 that includes a qualified dividend of $12,396. (Round your intermediate computations to 2 decimal places and final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
Answer:
1. Taxable income of $62,449 that includes a qualified dividend of $560.
tax liability = $1,975 + [12% x ($62,449 - $19,750)] = $7,098.88
2. Taxable income of $12,932 that includes a qualified dividend of $322.
tax liability = $12,932 x 10% = $1,293.20
3. Taxable income of $144,290 that includes a qualified dividend of $4,384.
tax liability = $9,235 + [22% x ($144,290 - $80,250)] + ($4,384 x 15%) = $23,981.40 ≈ $23,981
4. Taxable income of $43,297 that includes a qualified dividend of $971.
tax liability = $1,975 + [12% x ($43,297 - $19,750)] = $4,800.64 ≈ $4,801
5. Taxable income of $262,403 that includes a qualified dividend of $12,396.
tax liability = $29,211 + [24% x ($262,403 - $171,050)] + ($12,396 x 15%) = $52,995.12 ≈ $52,995
Explanation:
I used the 2020 tax bracket. Everyone earning over $78,750 but less than $488,850 must pay a 15% tax rate for their qualified dividends.
g Time period is important in accounting. Companies need to report revenue and expenses on their income statement based on what they earned and incurred during the accounting period. Assume the company had invested $100,000 in an interest-bearing investment on September 1st of this year. The investment earns 6% interest, but the interest doesn't get paid out until the end of the first six months. What, if any, interest revenue should the company record on their December 31st year ending income statement of this year
Answer: $2,000
Explanation:
As the question says, companies need to report revenue and expenses on their income statement based on what they earned and incurred during the accounting period. This is the Accrual principle in accounting.
The company gets a return of 6% after a year but this return has to be reflected monthly as it earned.
In a year the return is;
= 6% * 100,000
= $6,000
The investment was made on September 1st so from then to December 31st is 4 months.
The interest earned in this first year is therefore;
= 6,000 * 4/12 months
= $2,000
This is the interest revenue that should be recorded on the December 31st year ending income statement of the year.
Racket Corporation and Laocoon Corporation create Raccoon Corporation. Racket transfers $600,000 in assets for all of Raccoon's common stock. Racket distributes its remaining assets ($300,000) and the Raccoon common stock to its shareholder, Mia, for all her stock in Racket (basis $950,000) and then liquidates. Laocoon receives all the Raccoon preferred stock for its $400,000 of assets. Laocoon distributes its remaining assets ($300,000) and the Raccoon preferred stock to its shareholder, Carlos, for all his stock in Laocoon (basis $200,000) and then liquidates. What type of acquisition (if any) is this an example of?
Answer:
Type A reorganization
Explanation:
Type A reorganizations are known as statutory mergers or consolidations. This transaction involves 2 corporations, but one of them (Racket) will absorb the other one (Laocoon).
In this case, Mia doesn't have to recognize any loss or gain resulting from this merger, but Carlos has to recognize a gain equal to the remaining assets that were distributed ($300,000).

Selected transactions for the Sleezer Company are listed below.
1. Paid monthly utility bill.
2. Purchased new display case for cash.
3. Paid cash for repair work on security system.
4. Billed customers for services performed.
5. Received cash from customers billed in transaction 4.
6. Dividends paid to owners.
7. Incurred advertising expenses on account.
8. Paid monthly rent.
9. Received cash from customers when service was rendered.
Answer:
1. Paid monthly utility bill. - Decrease in assets and decrease in stockholders’ equity.
Cash (asset) will be used to pay the utility bill and this will reduce Net Income (stockholders equity).
2. Purchased new display case for cash. - Increase in assets and decrease in assets.
The new display will be a fixed asset so asset will increase but it will reduce the cash balance which is also an asset.
3. Paid cash for repair work on security system. - Decrease in assets and decrease in stockholders’ equity.
The repair work is an expense so it will reduce Net income(equity) and it will reduce cash as well.
4. Billed customers for services performed. - Increase in assets and increase in stockholders’ equity.
This will increase Accounts receivable (asset) and Net Income (equity).
5. Received cash from customers billed in transaction 4. - Increase in assets and decrease in assets.
This will reduce the Accounts receivable (asset) and increase Cash (asset). There will be no net effect.
6. Dividends paid to owners. - Decrease in assets and decrease in stockholders’ equity.
This will reduce Cash (asset) as it was used to pay the dividend. It will also reduce Retained earnings (equity).
7. Incurred advertising expenses on account. - Increase in liabilities and decrease in stockholders’ equity.
Accounts payable increases (liability) and Net income reduces (equity).
8. Paid monthly rent. - Decrease in assets and decrease in stockholders’ equity.
Cash (asset) will be used to pay the rent and this will reduce Net Income (stockholders equity).
9. Received cash from customers when service was rendered. - Increase in assets and increase in stockholders’ equity.
This will increase Cash (asset) and Net Income (equity).
Andy works at AZ Corporation. He has been working very hard and feels he deserves a pay hike. He wants to seek a meeting with Anna, the manager of AZ Corp., and ask for a raise. Since Anna is busy preparing for the annual board meeting, Andy decides to delay the meeting with Anna for a while. Which of the following dimensions to context influenced Andy's interaction with Anna? Group of answer choices The physical context The social context The chronological context The cultural context
The correct answer is C. The chronological context
Explanation:
The chronological context is related to the time during which a situation or communication occurs; this includes the age, year, season, month, day, etc. In the case presented, the chronological context is some days before the annual board meeting. Moreover, this condition of time is the one that makes Andy delay her meeting with Anna because she knows how busy is Anna during this time of the year, and based on this, she considers it is better to wait before asking her for a rise. According to this, the dimension that influences Andy is the chronological context.
Zach attended Champion University during 2014-2018. He lived at home and was claimed by his parents as a deduction during the entire duration of his education. He incurred education expenses of $21,000 during college of which $3,780 was paid for by scholarships. To finance his education, he borrowed $12,500 through a federal student loan program and borrowed another $8,500 from a local lending institution for educational purposes. After graduation, he married and moved with his spouse to a distant city. In 2019, he incurred $1,250 of interest on the federal loans and $850 on the lending institution loan. He filed a joint return with his spouse showing modified AGI of $122,500. What amount of student loan interest can Zach and his spouse deduct in 2019, if any
Answer:
$1722
Explanation:
incurred expenses = 21000
scholarship amount = 3780
interest on federal loan = 1250
interest on lending institution = 850
Education expenses:
21000 - 3780
= $17220
= $17220/21000
= $0.82 = 82%
the interest incurred would be:-
intereston federal loan + interest from lending institution
= $1250 + $850
= $2100
$2100 * $850
= $1722

3. Continuous review inventory control is being applied to purchase motors for an electric fan manufacturer. Demand is uniformly distributed between 500 and 600 motors per week. Each order costs $250 to prepare, place and receive. Motors cost $2.75/unit and the holding cost rate is 1% per week. Management proposes using the EOQ order quantity and setting reorder points to ensure a 97% fill rate. Find the imputed(implied) cost of a shortage and the expected number of shortages per year.
Answer:
The expected no. of shortage will be "0.27".
Explanation:
The given values are:
Ordering cost,
O = $250
Holding cost (i),
= 1% (per week)
= 52% (a year)
Cost of goods (C),
= $2.75
The average annual demand is:
[tex]=\frac{600+500}{2}\times 52 \ weeks[/tex]
[tex]=28600 \ units[/tex]
Now,
⇒ [tex]EOQ=\sqrt{(2\times D\times \frac{O}{C}\times i)}[/tex]
[tex]=\sqrt{2\times 18600\times \frac{250}{2.75}\times 52 \ percent}[/tex]
[tex]=\sqrt{10000000}[/tex]
[tex]=3162.27[/tex]
In a year, the number of orders will be:
⇒ [tex]\frac{D}{EOQ}=\frac{28600}{3162.27}[/tex]
[tex]=9.04 \ i.e., \ 9 \ orders[/tex]
Demand mean will be:
= [tex]\frac{500+600}{2}[/tex]
= [tex]550 \ units \ Demand \ SD[/tex]
= [tex]max[\frac{(Upper \ limit - Mean)}{3} , \frac{(mean-lower \ limit)}{3} ][/tex]
= [tex]max [\frac{50}{3} ,\frac{50}{3} ][/tex]
= [tex]16.66 \ units[/tex]
So, in a year, the expected number of the shortages will be:
⇒ [tex]Number \ of \ orders \ in \ a \ year\times fill \ rate[/tex]
⇒ [tex]9\times (1-97 \ percent)[/tex]
⇒ [tex]0.27[/tex]
What is a "Halo effect?" Review Later This bias occurs when decision makers seek out evidence that confirms their previously held beliefs, while discounting or diminishing the impact of evidence in support of differing conclusions. This is the overreliance on an initial single piece of information or experience to make subsequent judgments. Once an anchor is set, other judgments are made by adjusting away from that anchor, which can limit one’s ability to accurately interpret new, potentially relevant information. This is an observer’s overall impression of a person, company, brand, or product, and it influences the observer’s feelings and thoughts about that entity’s overall character or properties. It is the perception, for example, that if someone does well in a certain area, then they will automatically perform well at something else regardless of whether those tasks are related. This bias occurs when a person overestimates the reliability of their judgments. This can include the certainty one feels in her own ability, performance, level of control, or chance of success.
Answer:
Option C (This is an observer's......related) is the right option.
Explanation:
This would be the individual's evaluation of such an individual, business, brand as well as commodity by an observer, and then it affects the thoughts and emotions including its observer about either the personal appearance including its object. It is a belief that just because someone performs well enough in a certain area, independently of those same activities required, they will naturally do well in another one.All those other decisions also aren't linked to the circumstance issued. So, the solution is indeed the right one.
2) If a country, like the US, can produce all of the goods and services needed by
their citizens, why would they want to specialize in producing only some products
and trade with other countries for other products wanted by their citizens?
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Specialization means a company or country concentrating on producing few commodities. In practice, a state or company will focus on the products it can produce more efficiently. It means focusing on goods they can manufacture at a lower cost compared to other countries.
The USA can specialize in the goods and services it can produce at a lower cost than other nations. It can then export these products to other countries at competitive prices. For products that are costly to manufacture in the USA, it is prudent to import them from countries that can produce them at lower costs.
Some products manufactured in other countries at a lower cost may be sold in the USA at fair prices than when produced in the USA.

The cost of equipment purchased by Bonita, Inc., on June 1, 2020, is $119,700. It is estimated that the machine will have a $10,500 salvage value at the end of its service life. Its service life is estimated at 7 years, its total working hours are estimated at 54,600, and its total production is estimated at 728,000 units. During 2020, the machine was operated 6,600 hours and produced 60,500 units. During 2021, the machine was operated 6,050 hours and produced 52,800 units. Compute depreciation expense on the machine for the year ending December 31, 2020, and the year ending December 31, 2021, using the following methods. (Round depreciation per unit to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25 and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 45,892.) 2020 2021 (a) Straight-line $ $ (b) Units-of-output $ $ (c) Working hours $ $ (d) Sum-of-the-years'-digits $ $ (e) Double-declining-balance (twice the straight-line rate)
Answer:
(a) Straight-line $ $
straight line depreciation expense = $109,200 / 7 = $15,600
depreciation expense 2020 = $15,600 x 7/12 = $9,100
depreciation expense 2020 = $15,600
(b) Units-of-output $ $
depreciation expense per unit of output = $109,200 / 728,000 = $0.15 per unit
depreciation expense 2020 = $0.15 x 60,500 = $9,075
depreciation expense 2020 = $0.15 x 52,800 = $7,920
(c) Working hours $ $
depreciation expense per working hour = $109,200 / 54,600 = $2 per working hour
depreciation expense 2020 = $2 x 6,600 = $13,200
depreciation expense 2020 = $2 x 6,050 = $12,100
(d) Sum-of-the-years'-digits
total years = 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 28
depreciation expense 2020 = $109,200 x 7/28 x 7/12 = $15,925
depreciation expense 2021 = ($27,300 - $15,925) + (109,200 x 6/28 x 7/12) = $25,025
(e) Double-declining-balance (twice the straight-line rate)
depreciation expense 2020 = $119,700 x 2/7 x 7/12 = $19,950
depreciation expense 2021 = ($34,200 - $19,950) + ($85,500 x 2/7 x 7/12) = $28,500
Explanation:
depreciable value = $119,700 - $10,500 = $109,200
useful life = 7 years
working hours = 54,600
production = 728,000 units
Deepa Dalal opened a free-standing radiology clinic. She had anticipated that the costs for the radiological tests would be primarily fixed, but she found that costs increased with the number of tests performed. Costs for this service over the past nine months are as follows:
Month Radiology Test Total Cost
January 2,800 $135,500
February 2,600 $135,060
March 3,100 $175,000
April 3,500 $170,600
May 3,400 $176,900
June 3,700 $186,600
July 3,840 $174,450
August 4,100 $195,510
September 3,450 $85,300
1) Compute the cost formula for radiology services using the high-low method.
2) Calculate the predicted cost of radiology services for October for 3,500 tests using the formula found in Requirement 1.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the fixed and variable cost under the high-low method, we need to use the following formulas:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (195,510 - 135,060) / (4,100 - 2,600)
Variable cost per unit= $40.3
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 195,510 - (40.3*4,100)
Fixed costs= $30,280
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 135,060 - (40.3*2,600)
Fixed costs= $30,280
Now, the total cost for 3,500 tests:
Total cost= 30,280 + 40.3*3,500
Total cost= $171,330
Assume that you inherited some money. A friend of yours is working as an unpaid intern at a local brokerage firm, and her boss is selling securities that call for 4 payments of $80 (1 payment at the end of each of the next 4 years) plus an extra payment of $1,000 at the end of Year 4. Your friend says she can get you some of these securities at a cost of $900 each. Your money is now invested in a bank that pays a 10% nominal (quoted) interest rate but with quarterly compounding. You regard the securities as being just as safe, and as liquid, as your bank deposit, so your required effective annual rate of return on the securities is the same as that on your bank deposit. You must calculate the value of the securities to decide whether they are a good investment. What is their present value to you?
Answer: The securities are a good investment as their Present Value of $925.17 is greater than their cost of $900.
Explanation:
First calculate the Effective annual rate of return;
= (( 1 + r/n)^n) - 1
= ((1 + 10%/4 ) ^ 4 ) - 1
= 10.38%
The present value of the security is;
= (80 / 1.1038 ) + (80 / 1.1038 ^ 2) + (80 / 1.1038 ^ 3) + (80 / 1.1038 ^ 4 ) + (1000 / 1.1038 ^ 4 )
= $925.17

Which of the following is the best example of an ethical statement?
Answer:
Ethical dilemmas are situations in which there is a difficult choice to be made between two or more options, neither of which resolves the situation in a manner that is consistent with accepted ethical guidelines. When faced with an ethical dilemma, a person is faced with having to select an option that doesn’t align with an established code of ethics or societal norms, such as codes of law and religious teachings, or with their internal moral perceptions of right and wrong. Explore ethical dilemma examples to see how you might handle these difficult situations.
Explanation:
Ethical Dilemma Situations
Ethical dilemmas occur all too frequently in everyday life. There is rarely a clear answer regarding right and wrong. Instead of being able to rely on external standards, people have to rely on their morals and values to navigate such situations. A storytelling approach, as introduced by Lawrence Kohlberg in the 1930s, is often used to encourage people to think through possible outcomes and consequences of ethical dilemmas.
This is one of the most extreme moral dilemma examples, as well as an ethical dilemma. The choice is between actively causing one person’s death or allowing people (including oneself) to die. Someone following a utilitarian approach to ethics would likely choose to eliminate the person who is stuck, as this philosophy is based on choosing actions that result in the greatest good for the greatest number of people. Someone who focuses primarily on the sanctity of each individual life, however, would not consider harming the person who is stuck to be a viable option.
Following the Rules
One of the most important characteristics of an effective leader is treating people equitably. This involves fairness and consistency, including regards to applying the rules to everyone equally. What should a coach do when a few superstar players get caught breaking rules that should lead to their suspension from the team immediately before a big game that is very important to the team?
If the star players don’t play, there is a good chance the team will lose. If the team has to win this game to advance to the championship game, should that affect the coach’s decision?
If the coach doesn’t apply appropriate consequences to the actions of the players who broke the rules, what lesson are those players learning? Will they continue to break rules?
What about the other players who do follow the rules. Will they learn that the rules are just suggestions and feel like they don’t need to comply in the future?
What if one of the players who broke the rules will miss a chance to be seen by professional scouts if he doesn’t play in the game?
What if the team’s school will earn a large amount of money from television coverage of the big game if the team goes to the championship?
What if the coach is set to earn a big bonus or significant pay increase if the team advances to the championship game?
Coaches are responsible for winning, but they’re also responsible for setting an appropriate example of leadership for players and treating all team members fairly. What may seem to be an obvious choice between right and wrong at first glance is really much more complicated.
A tough decision must be made between two or more solutions in an ethical dilemma when neither of them answers the issue in a way that complies with generally recognized ethical standards.
What is ethical dilemma?In philosophy, ethical dilemmas—also known as ethical paradoxes or moral dilemmas—arise when an agent must choose between two competing moral obligations, none of which takes precedence.
A definition that is similarly comparable describes ethical situations as ones where there is no right decision to be made.
Taking credit for other people's efforts is one example of an ethical conundrum. Giving a customer a subpar product so you can profit. using insider information for personal gain.
A moral (ethical) dilemma is a circumstance in which there is a choice to be made, a decision to be made, an act or action to be taken, a solution to be found, and there may be an unpleasant problem involved.
There are many different kinds of moral quandaries, but the following categories best describe the most prevalent ones:
Epistemic and ontological dilemmas are listed first, followed by self-inflicted and externally imposed dilemmas, obligation dilemmas, prohibition dilemmas, and dilemmas involving a single agent and multiple agents.

After graduating, you might decide to start a small business. As discussed in this chapter, owners of any business need to know how to calculate the cost of their products. In fact, many small businesses fail because they don't accurately calculate their product costs, so they don't know if they are making a profit or losing money—until it's too late.Suppose that you decide to start a landscape business. You use an old pickup truck that you've fully paid for. You store the truck and other equipment in your parents' barn, and you store trees and shrubs on their land. Your parents will not charge you for the use of these facilities for the first two years, but beginning in the third year they will charge a reasonable rent. Your mother helps you by answering phone calls and providing customers with information. She doesn't charge you for this service, but she plans on doing it for only your first two years in business.In pricing your services, should you include charges for the truck, the barn, the land, and your mother's services when calculating your product cost?InstructionsWrite a response indicating your position regarding this situation. Provide support for your view.
Answer:
When the value of the service ends, it will be necessary to include the charges for the truck, the granary and the land. It is not necessary to include your mother's service charges, as she is not charging for the service.
Explanation:
Setting up your own business can be quite a big challenge and you need a lot of control and planning so you don't have to lose money. One of the biggest challenges of becoming an entrepreneur is to price the service performed. As was said in the question above, many people do not know how to place a value on the service produced, mainly because they are unable to identify the expense for service production.
In summary, the expense to produce the service must take into account all charges related to any element necessary to perform the service. Thus, we can consider that in the case shown in the question above, it will be necessary for you to include expenses with the truck (gasoline, repairs, exchange of parts, etc.), with the rent of the granary, with the rent of the land and with the gratification of any employee. Since your mother is not charging for her services, this charge should not be included, however, your mother will only be in this service for two years. If the person replacing your mother charges for the service, this should be added to the cost.
A manufacturing company produces products 1, 2, and 3. The three products have the following resource requirements and produce the following profit:
Profit Labor (hr/unit) Material (lb/unit) Profit ($/unit)
1 5 4 $3
2 2 6 5
3 4 3 2
At present, the firm has a daily labor capacity of 240 available hours and a daily supply of 400 pounds of material. Management has developed the following set of goals, arranged in order of their importance to the firm:
1. Because of recent labor relations difficulties, management wants to avoid underutilization of normal production capacity.
2. Management has established a satisfactory profit level of exist500 per day.
3. Overtime is to be minimized as much as possible.
4. Management wants to minimize the purchase of additional materials to avoid handling and storage problems.
Required:
Formulate a goal programming model (multi-criteria model) to determine the number of each product to produce to best satisfy the goals.
di+, di- are the deviation variables for i-th objectives.
Product_1, product_2, product_3 are respectively the products 1,2 and 3 to be produced in a day. Those are the Standard variables
goal: (1/400)*d4+ (2/240)*d3+ (3/500)*d2-+ Min (4/240)*d1-
variables are equal or bigger than zero
400 = 5*product_1 + 6*product_2 + 3*product_3 - d4- + d4+
240 = 5*product_1 + 2*product_2 + 4*product_3 - d3- + d3+
240 = 5*product_1 + 2*product_2 + 4*product_3 + d1- - d1+
500 = 3*product_1 + 5*product_2 + 2*product_3 + d2- - d2+
