Deciding to Buy. Dave and Diane Starr of New Orleans, Louisiana, both of whom are in their late 20s, currently are renting an unfurnished two-bedroom apartment for $1,200 per month, plus $230 for utilities and $34 for insurance. They have found a condominium they can buy for $170,000 with a 20 percent down payment and a 30-year, 6.5 percent mortgage. Principal and interest payments are estimated at $860 per month, with property taxes amounting to $150 per month and a homeowner's insurance premium of $900 per year. Closing costs are estimated at $4,200. The monthly homeowners association fee is $275, and utility costs are estimated at $240 per month. The Starrs have a combined income of $90,000 per year, with take-home pay of $5,800 per month. They are in the 25 percent tax bracket, pay $225 per month on an installment loan (ten payments left), and have $39,000 in savings and investments outside of their retirement accounts. (d) Available financial information suggests that mortgage rates might increase over the next several months. If the Starrs wait until the rates increase 1/2 of 1 percent, how much more will they spend on their monthly mortgage payment

Answer:

No.This is because the contract is on specially manufactured sweaters which both parties agreed on.

Explanation:

A contract can be described as a spoken or written agreement that is legally binding between two or more parties relating to sales, rendering of services, tenancy, employment, and among others. The aim of a contract is to ensure that each party to the contact performs his duty and their rights are protected.

From the definition above, it obvious that a contract can be spoken or written. Therefore, Helen's contract does not have to be in writing for her to enforce it since they both agreed on the agreed to make specially manufactured sweaters.

Answer:

D. $ 2 comma 408

Explanation:

Margin of safety is the contribution over break-even point which make the profit for the business. It is the actual margin from which the business is safe from loss.

Sales Price = $3.44 per unit

Variable cost = 0.05 per unit

Break-even point = 3,600 per unit

Expected sale = 4,300 per unit

Margin of safety sales volume = Total Sales - Break-even point

Margin of safety sales volume = 4,300 - 3,600 = 700 units

Margin of Safety in dollars = 700 units x 3.44 = $2,408

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": ​Make the customers less sensitive to the price.

Explanation:

There are several reasons that could make products become elastic or inelastic. Reputation typically makes goods and services be considered inelastic. These types of products do not see a change in their quantity demanded in front of changes in price.

Thus, if a Swiss watch company promotes their history of superior craftsmanship is attempting to aware consumers about its watch quality and reputation so if they decide to increase prices consumers will be less sensitive to the change.

The correct answer is d) All of the above.

The correct answer is d) All of the above.

When a Swiss watch company advertises its history of superior craftsmanship, it can have multiple effects on the demand for the product. First, it can make the demand for the product less elastic, meaning that consumers are less likely to be sensitive to price changes. This is because the craftsmanship and reputation of the company create a perception of high quality, which can make consumers willing to pay higher prices. Second, it can make the customers less sensitive to the price, as they value the craftsmanship and uniqueness of the product, which differentiates it from other watches in the market. Lastly, advertising the history of superior craftsmanship can assist the company with differentiating their product from competitors, as it highlights the company's expertise and reputation in producing high-quality watches.

Net income from Rita's Business                              0

The Deduction allowed Rita is $7,400 a totla of the home office expenses and the home operating expenses

Note that there was no expense subtracted for the Tier 3 expenses this is because Rita's income had reduced to $0 and there was nothing to subtract from

B)  What is Rita's AGI for the year?

The AGI is the Rita's reported AGI of $60,000 + $0 which is the net calculated income from her business. So her AGI remains $60,000.

Final answer:

To calculate Rita's home office expense deduction, use the actual expense method by calculating the total home-related office expenses and the percentage of the home office area in relation to the total home area.

Explanation:

Rita can calculate her home office expense deduction using the actual expense method. Here are the steps:

For Rita's specific case, the assumed total home area is not provided, so the calculation cannot be completed.

Answer:

Sales price variance= $10,596.6 unfavorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The following static budget based on sales of 1,820 kits was prepared for the year.

Sales $87,000

Assume that Concord Sports sold 1,827 volleyball kits during the year for $42 per kit.

First, we need to calculate the standard selling price:

Standard selling price= 87,000/1,820= $47.80

The sales price variance is calculated as follow:

Sales price variance= actual sales revenue - actual sales at the standard price

Sales price variance= (1,827*42) - (1,827*47.8)= $10,596.6 unfavorable

The sales price variance for Concord Sports, based on actual sales of 1,827 kits at $42 per kit, is -$10,590.60. This negative variance indicates that the actual selling price was lower than the budgeted price.

The student asked: 'Calculate the sales price variance for Concord Sports, given actual sales of 1,827 kits at a price of $42 per kit.'

To calculate the sales price variance, we use the following formula: Sales Price Variance = (Actual Selling Price - Budgeted Selling Price) x Actual Quantity Sold.

Here's the step-by-step calculation:

Sales Price Variance is therefore -$10,590.60.

The given cross-price elasticity signifies that Qdoba and Chipotle burritos are substitute goods. Thus, when Qdoba burritos' price increases by 10%, Chipotle will likely sell 8% more burritos.

In economic terms, the cross-price elasticity of demand measures how the quantity demanded of one good responds to a change in the price of another good. In this case, the cross-price elasticity between the demand for Chipotle burritos and the price of Qdoba burritos is 0.8. This means when the price of Qdoba burritos increases by 10%, the demand for Chipotle burritos increases by 8%. This is because these two goods are substitutes - when the price of Qdoba burrito increases, consumers switch to Chipotle burritos because it is relatively cheaper.

https://brainly.com/question/33762697

#SPJ3

After Qdoba increases the price of its burritos by 10%, and given that the cross-price elasticity between Chipotle and Qdoba is 0.8, Chipotle will sell 8% more burritos, as calculated using the cross-price elasticity formula.

The student's question involves the concept of cross-price elasticity of demand, which measures the responsiveness of the quantity demanded for one good when the price of another good changes. In this particular case, Chipotle and Qdoba are substitute goods, which means they have a positive cross-price elasticity. If the cross-price elasticity between demand for Chipotle burritos and the price of Qdoba burritos is 0.8 and Qdoba increases its prices by 10%, we can use the formula:

Cross-price elasticity of demand = (% change in quantity demanded for Good A) / (% change in price of Good B)

By rearranging the formula: (% change in quantity demanded for Chipotle burritos) = (cross-price elasticity) imes (% change in price of Qdoba burritos)

Plug in the values: (% change in quantity demanded for Chipotle burritos) = 0.8 imes 10% = 8%

Therefore, Chipotle will sell 8% more burritos as a result of Qdoba's 10% price increase.

Answer:

Assuming Simon’s AGI is $40,000.

Gambling losses are only deductible to the extent of gambling winnings. Thus,Simon cannot deduct any of the $4,300 gambling losses. The $3,160 transportation expenses are also nondeductible as they are deemed to be personal expenses. The $2,650 broker management fees are deductible as investment fees (miscellaneous itemized deductions subject to the 2% AGI floor), and the $1,030 tax return fees are also deductible as miscellaneous itemized deductions subject to the 2% AGI floor.

Thus, $2,650 + $1,030 – (2% x $40,000 AGI) = $2,880 deduction

Complete Question:

Mexico's largest cement manufacturer, Cemex, has become a global powerhouse in the cement and construction industry.It currently controls 60 percent of the cement industry in Mexico (Hill 2009).Cemex's success is a result of a combination of efficient technology such as radio transmitters, satellites, and computer hardware that allow the company to anticipate changes in supply and demand and reduce waste.  

Cemex's success is also a result of an attempt to dominate the industry by acquiring and buying out competitors worldwide in order to expand.  

Reread the Management Focus on Cemex and then answer the following questions:

a) Which theoretical explanation, or explanations, of FDI best explains Cemex’s FDI?

b) What is the value that Cemex brings to the host economy? Can you see any potential drawbacks of inward investment by Cemex in an economy?

Explanation:

a) I think Cemex's philosophy of internalisation perfectly illustrates that, instead of licensing it took the initiative to penetrate other markets, Cemex has acquired in-house cement firms and has become a global powerhouse.  The text book discusses that companies often choose foreign direct investment as a policy to penetrate foreign markets, rather than authorising (Hill 2008). The internalisation principle. The state-of - the-art technologies Cemex employs would not make selling the company's "technological know-how" the best way to protect it (Hill 2009).

b) Cemex, the world's third largest cement firm, has 60% control over the powerhouse in Mexico.  

The focus of Cemex is on the efficient production and service of the consumer. Sales receivers, as are consumers, have been paid. Such competitive advantages are the main benefits that Cemex gives to host countries. Cemex acquires companies, and then moves technologies, management and marketing skills to new units and improves their performance. Several purchased businesses were taken back to full production and the work opportunities in the host country were improved.

Final answer:

Cemex's FDI is best explained by the Market Power Theory. Cemex brings value to the host economy through job creation, technology transfer, and increased competition, but there can be potential drawbacks as well.

Explanation:

a) The best theoretical explanation of Cemex's Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is the Market Power Theory. Cemex's FDI allowed them to gain a competitive advantage over local firms and establish a dominant position in the host economy. By acquiring local cement companies, they were able to control a significant portion of the market and influence prices.

b) The value that Cemex brings to the host economy includes job creation, technology transfer, and increased competition. However, there can also be potential drawbacks such as the exploitation of natural resources, environmental concerns, and negative impacts on local businesses.

Cost figures arise from the production function and factor payments in a company's manufacturing process. Costs are affected by labor, materials, overhead, and can be influenced by changes such as wage negotiations. Understanding economies of scale and revising costs due to fixed cost changes or wage increases are key to business decision-making.

The origin of cost figures in the provided scenario can be attributed to the production function and factor payments within a manufacturing process. Specifically, these costs emerge from the inputs required to produce goods, including labor, materials, and overhead expenses. The production function can be exemplified by the number of widgets produced per worker, reflecting labor productivity. A change in the factor payments, such as a union-negotiated wage increase, can influence the production method by possibly prompting a shift towards more capital-intensive production with reduced labor input.

Understanding economies of scale is crucial when analyzing the cost figures. A plant's average production cost decreases as it scales up production due to the spreading of fixed costs over a larger quantity of goods. This is evident from a scenario where plants producing higher volumes enjoy a lower average cost per unit.

When considering changes in fixed costs or wages, such as a reduction from $14,000 to $12,000 or an increase in labor wages from $16 to $20 per hour, it is essential to revisit and adjust the costs of production accordingly to determine the impact on the business's decision to continue operations or modify its production strategy.

Variable Costs = $11 / unit

Selling Price = $24 / unit

[tex](P-VC)*n-FC = 0\\(24-11)*n-75,000 = 0\\n=5,769.2\ units[/tex]

Rounding up to the next whole unit, the break-even points for proposal A and B, respectively, are 5,455 and 5,770 units.

Answer:

(1) The preference of the Chinese firms to expand through outright purchase which aides them to retain key positions in order to have a firm control on the business.

(2) Chinese companies are ready to take more risk than American companies

(3) Chinese companies are more interested in opportunities to provide growth and innovation.

Explanation:A Joint venture business is  a business organisation owned by two or more persons or organisations who pull resources together in order to achieve a common goal.

The resources pulled together can be in the form of finance, expertise,infrastructures etc, a joint venture business is also another form of merger known commonly with profit making organisations.

Differences in regulation, culture, market access, IP concerns, government support, risk perception, and market maturity influence American joint ventures in China and Chinese acquisitions in the U.S.

Several factors contribute to the difference in market entry strategies between American companies in China and Chinese companies in the United States:

1. Regulatory Environment : China's regulatory environment historically favored joint ventures as a means for foreign companies to enter the market, with the Chinese government often mandating local partnerships for certain industries. Conversely, the U.S. has generally had more open regulations regarding foreign ownership, allowing Chinese firms to acquire companies outright.

2. Cultural Differences : Chinese business culture tends to prioritize relationships and long-term partnerships. Joint ventures can be seen as a way to build trust and establish connections with local partners. On the other hand, American business culture often values independence and control, which may lead U.S. companies to prefer full ownership when expanding abroad.

3. Market Access : China's vast market and potential for growth may incentivize American companies to enter through joint ventures to gain quicker access and local expertise. Conversely, Chinese companies entering the U.S. market may have sufficient resources to directly acquire companies to gain immediate market share.

4. Intellectual Property Concerns : Some American companies may be wary of sharing intellectual property and proprietary technology in joint ventures in China, opting instead to retain full control through acquisitions in the U.S. market where intellectual property protection is generally stronger.

5. Government Support and Subsidies : Chinese government support and subsidies for overseas acquisitions, particularly for strategic industries, may encourage Chinese companies to pursue outright acquisitions in the United States as a means of expanding their global footprint.

6. Risk Management : American companies may perceive joint ventures in China as riskier due to concerns about regulatory changes, intellectual property theft, and potential conflicts with local partners. Acquiring companies outright in the U.S. may be seen as a more straightforward way to mitigate these risks.

7. Market Maturity : The maturity of the market also plays a role. China, being a developing market, might require closer collaboration and knowledge-sharing through joint ventures. In contrast, the U.S. market is more mature, and Chinese companies may find it easier to acquire existing businesses rather than starting from scratch.

These factors, among others, shape the differing strategies employed by American companies in China and Chinese companies in the United States.

Answer:

(C) Pass-through grant

Explanation:

A pass-through grant occurs when a recipient of a grant is allowed by the government to provide funding to other recipients. Funds are received and passed along to other recipients.

The party that receives funding from the pass-through entity is called the subrecipient.

This usually occurs when government lacks the structure to effectively push grant initiatives.

In this instance when states provide funds to the city for onward delivery to not for profit organisations, the city is acting as a pass-through entity.

The correct option is B,$20 million

Explanation:

Goodwill =Purchase consideration less fair value of net assets acquired

Purchase consideration is $100 million

Fair value of net assets is $80 million, the replacement value

Goodwill=$100 million -$80 million

Goodwill=$20 million

Provided the replacement value was not given, the book value of $70 million would have been a proxy for the fair value,hence giving a goodwill of $30 million($100 million less $70 million)

Option D is wrong because goodwill is not the same as book value of assets

To correct Francis Equipment Co.'s accounts at December 31, necessary adjusting entries need to be made for the cash receipts and disbursements recorded in January.

To correct Francis Equipment Co.'s accounts at December 31, we need to make the necessary adjusting entries for the cash receipts and disbursements recorded in January. For the cash receipts, we need to subtract the $360 cash discounts given from the accounts receivable and add it to the cash sales. Thus, the entries wil be -

1. Revenues                                        Debit       $ 28,000

Answer:

Options A and B is the correct answer

Explanation:

Rent Control Acts create both long-term and short-term problems are created by rent control acts.

The Rent Control Act in the short-run results in a shortage of rental units. However, in the long-run, the impact of these Acts is more serious.

With no change in rent, the incentive for owners to sustain the quality of rental units and thus charge higher rent gets banished.

As to this, they do not maintain their units properly, and the result of this is a decline in the quality of rental units in the long-run.

Secondly, scarcity of rental units gives rise to various non-price rationing methods that owners use to allocate their rental units.

Thus, options A and B is the correct answer.

The common long-run outcomes that result when cities prevent landlords from charging market or commercial rents are A. The quality of rental housing units falls, and B. Non-price methods of rationing emerge.

Rent Controls discourage landlords from buying, building, and maintaining houses that are of the highest quality. Market forces may indeed play against the poor, especially when monopolies develop. It is the responsibility of the government to check monopolistic tendencies in the market. Using Rent Controls to achieve this is counter-productive.

Landlords rent out housing units to make profits. This profit motive is good in a market-driven economy. Fraudulent profiteering should be discouraged. When cities control rents, it does not increase the supply of rental units nor encourage black markets to develop.

Thus, the long-run outcomes when cities prevent landlords from charging market rents through Rent Controls are a reduction in quality and the use of non-price methods for rationing rental units.

Case 1 = $9,420

Case 2 = 0

Explanation:

Determining the amount of impairment loss is given below:-

Case 1

Impairment loss = Amortized cost - Fair value

= $41,640 - $32,220

= $9,420

Case 2

Impairment loss = Amortized cost - Fair value

= 91,800 - $102,220

= 0

Since, the fair value is higher than Amortized cost so the value of Impairment loss in case 2 is 0.

The impairment loss is

The calculation is as follows:

Impairment loss = Amortized cost - Fair value

= $41,640 - $32,220

= $9,420

Impairment loss = Amortized cost - Fair value

= $91,800 - $102,220

= 0

As the fair value is more than amortized cost therefore the value of Impairment loss in case 2 is 0.

Therefore we can conclude that

Correctly ignored a sunk cost.

Explanation:

In economics a sunk cost is one that an individual has already paid for and cannot recover. For example when payment is made for rent it is no longer recoverable.

In this instance Eric has already bought a $50 ticket that is nonrefundable, nonexchangeable, and nontransferable. This is a sunk cost.

Eric wants to go to the concert with Ginny who he wanted to date for a long time.

He will correctly ignore the sunk cost of going to the play because any more time spent on the play will not help recover the $50 already spent.

Answer:

The average receivables balance is $29,589

The Receivables turnover is 6.08 times

Explanation:

Dome Metals has credit sales of $180,000 yearly and the average collection period of 60 days.

The average collection period = 365 days/Receivables turnover ratio = (365 days x average account receivables)/Credit Sales

Average account receivables = (The average collection period x Credit Sales)/365 = (60 x $180,000)/365 = $29,589

Receivables turnover ratio= 365/The average collection period = 365/60 = 6.08 times

The average receivables balance for Dome Metals is $29,605.26, and the receivables turnover is 6.08.

In this example, Dome Metals has annual credit sales of $180,000 and an average collection period of 60 days. To determine the average receivables balance, divide the annual credit sales by the turnover rate (365/60 = 6.08). So, $180,000/6.08 results in an average receivables balance of $29,605.26.

Next, to compute the receivables turnover, we take the annual credit sales and divide them by the average accounts receivable. This means that Dome Metals' receivables turnover is 6.08.

By creating unrealistic or unachievable goals, we only make it more difficult for us to succeed, and the failiure that will inevitably follow can be damaging to our confidence. Therefore, when establishing goals, it is important that we are realistic.

In the context of scoring 25 goals in a soccer game, self-improvement strategies should be focused on enhancing existing skills and addressing areas of need, keeping the goal realistic. Practice, feedback, and self-reflection can aid in achieving this. The process requires patience and commitment.

The approach of self-improvement based on individual strengths and needs involves setting realistic goals and continually assessing progress on these goals. In the context of your goal to score 25 goals in a soccer game, it is critical to evaluate this target against your current abilities and the opportunities you will have in the game. The target should be challenging but realistic.

Improvement strategies might focus on enhancing your current strengths, like speed or accuracy, and addressing areas of need, such as endurance or team coordination. These strategies can include deliberate practice, receiving feedback, and self-reflection. Whatever the strategy, remember that self-improvement is a gradual and ongoing process that requires patience and commitment.

Answer: C - $30,000

Explanation: Johnston Company wants to double production of Product X from 1,000 units to 2,000 units.

The variable manufacturing cost per unit is $10. The variable non manufacturing cost per unit is $20.

The selling price per unit is $50

To increase production by 1000 units

Total cost is $10 + $20 = $30

Total incremental cost = 1,000 * $30= $30,000

Answer:I personally think Lisa should accept the offer from Albemarle Express as a Programmer Analyst because annual pay is more in this offer. There is a high chance of career growth than starting from scratch and trying to make your way up like in the first offer.

Explanation:The first offer would be too demanding and it should be the one which has more pay than the second offer , considering the fact that Lisa would be creating the whole department from scratch and working alone. This second opportunity is the best more salary than the first offer , less demanding but with a higher opportunity for growth.

Lisa Jameson has to choose between a position at Pembroke Boats, offering her to lead an entire IT department, and a higher-paying role at Albemarle Express with career growth but potential job security risk.

Lisa Jameson is considering two job offers with different roles and benefits. The first offer is from Pembroke Boats, which gives her the opportunity to create an IT department and operate as an information coordinator. Although this might provide her with more responsibility and control, it comes with the challenge of establishing new systems alone. The second offer from Albemarle Express is for a programmer-analyst position, with a higher salary and a clear path for career advancement to systems analyst, but comes with the uncertainty of potential company acquisition. When making her decision, Lisa must weigh factors such as salary, career growth, job security, work environment, and personal career goals.

Moreover, Lisa should also consider where she would prefer to live, the company culture, and whether she is looking for a start-up like experience at Pembroke Boats or a more structured role at Albemarle Express. This decision can significantly affect her career trajectory and job satisfaction. Seeking advice from current or former employees and mentors in the field could also provide valuable insights. Ultimately, it is her personal and professional priorities that will guide her decision.

Answer:

The question is not complete, below is the complete question:

Compute the cost per equivalent unit (processing costing step 4)

At the end of October, Cranston Bottling’s mixing department had “Total cost to account for” of $739,731. Of this amount, $271,596 related to direct material costs, while the remainder related to conversion costs. The department had 52,230 total equivalent units of direct materials and 45,450 total equivalent units of conversion costs for the month.

Compute the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and the cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs.  

Answers:

a. cost per equivalent unit for direct material = $5.2

b cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs = $10.3

Explanation:

To calculate the cost per unit of a material, we have to determine the total costs, the total units produced, then divide the total costs by the total units.

In this example, there are two costs of interest; cost for direct materials and cost for conversion.

Total cost = cost of direct material + conversion cost = $739,731

cost for direct material = $271,596

∴ conversion cost = Total cost - cost of direct material

= 739,731 - 271,596 = $468,135

Next, we are told the units for each of the costs;

total unit of Direct materials cost= 52,230

total unit of conversion cost = 45,450

Finally to get the cost per equivalent unit, we will divide the total costs each by their respective total units;

cost per equivalent unit for direct material = cost for direct material ÷ total units of direct material cost

= 271,596 ÷ 52230 = $5.2

cost per equivalent for conversion cost = total conversion cost ÷ total units of conversion cost

= 468,135 ÷ 45,450 = $10.3
