Quackenbush Widgets has developed a new type of widget that whistles, sings, and plays the accordion—making it unlike any other widget ever produced. Quackenbush wishes to grab a hold in the musical widget market before its competitors create similar products, so when it releases its new widget it prices it at only $250—even though most of its other widgets start at $350. Which pricing strategy does this example show?

1. Cost-plus pricing
2. Price penetration
3. Price skimming
4. Value pricing

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to this question is 2. Price penetration

Explanation:

price penetration is a method of pricing that involves setting a very low price to attract customers to buy a new product. It is a pricing strategy that is used to gain market share and customer base most especially for new product.

The price is set low with the view to entice consumer and gain more market share for new product.

Hence the action of Quackenbush Widgets  setting the price of its new widgets at only $250 even though others widgets starts from $350 is an example of a price penetration

A-$2,000.
B-$6,500.
C-$8,500.
D-$21,500.
E-$36,500.

Answers

Answer:

The factory's overhead cost is $8,500

Explanation:

First, you have to know what an overhead cost is; An overhead cost is the cost incurred in production that is not direct labor, direct material cost or all direct expenses on production. In this case, let us identify all the direct costs involved in production;

indirect labor = $6,500

property taxes on production = $800

heat, light and power = $1,000

insurance on plant equipment = $200

Therefore, total overhead cost = 6,500 + 800 + 1,000 + 200 =  $8,500.

McPupper Steel has products that can be sold as is for $13,000 as is, or could be reworked at a cost of $3,400 and sold for $16,000. What would be the incremental profit or (loss) of reworking and selling the products instead of selling them as is?

Answers

Answer:

It is more profitable to sell the product as it is.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

McPupper Steel has products that can be sold for $13,000, or could be reworked at a cost of $3,400 and sold for $16,000.

To calculate the convenience of continue processing the product, we need to deduct from the final selling price the rework costs and compare it to the original price.

Effect on income= 16,000 - 3,400= $12,600

It is more profitable to sell the product as it is.

A department adds all materials at the beginning of the process and incurs conversion costs uniformly throughout the process. For the month of July, there was no beginning work in process; 40600 units were completed and transferred out; and there were 20000 units in the ending work in process that were 30% complete. During July, $96960 materials costs and $97860 conversion costs were charged to the department.
The unit production costs for materials and conversion costs for July was _______.

Answers

Answer:

The unit costs for materials is $1.62 per unit

The unit costs of conversion costs  is $2.13 per unit

Explanation:

In determining the the unit production costs for materials and conversion costs, it is very important to calculate equivalent number of units applicable to materials as well as the one applicable to conversion costs

Equivalent units for materials

Completed units        40000 @100% complete    40000

Ending inventory        20000@ 100% complete   20000

                                                                                 60000

Equivalent units for conversion costs

Completed units 40000@100%                  40000

Ending inventory 20000 @ 30% complete  6000

                                                                         46000

unit production costs of materials=$96960/60000=$1.62 per unit

unit production costs of conversion costs=$97860/46000=$2.13 per unit

You are the supervisor of an employee who just learned that she did not receive the promotion she had anticipated. You call her into your office and ask her to discuss her reaction. What type of listening are you engaged in?
a. Casual listening
b. Listening for information
c. Intensive listening
d. Empathetic listening

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": Empathetic listening.

Explanation:

Empathetic listening is used in cases when people must be heard more than in a situation when two parties want to come up to a solution. Empathetic listening goes beyond active listening because it requires the listening party to put in the other party's shoes. Most often, empathetic listening has the mission of deeply understanding others' points of view.

An engineer who is now 65 years old began planning for retirement 40 years ago. At that time, he thought that if he had $1 million when he retired, he would have more than enough money to live his remaining life in luxury. Assume the inflation rate over the 40-year time period averaged a constant 4.1% per year.a) What is the CV purchasing power of his $1 million at age 65

Answers

Answer:

The CV purchasing power of his $1,000,000 at age 65 is $200,433.74

Explanation:

The constant-value (CV) purchasing power of the $1 million is calculated using the following formula:

Current dollars = Future dollars / (1 + f)^n where

f = average inflation rate = 4.1% per year = 0.041

n = time period = 40 years

Future dollars = $1,000,000

Substituting these values in the above formula:

Current dollars = $1,000,000 / (1 + 0.041)^40

                         = $1,000,000 / 4.989

                         = $200,433.74

Hence, the CV purchasing power of his $1,000,000 at age 65 is $200,433.74.

If we assume that there is no fixed manufacturing overhead and the variable manufacturing overhead is $8 per direct labor-hour, what is the estimated unit product cost? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

$52

Explanation:

The complete question and the solution is attached in the pictures

Final answer:

The unit product cost includes only the variable manufacturing costs. Assuming one labor hour for one unit, the estimated unit product cost would be $8.00. Changes in the manufacturing time will directly affect the unit product cost.

Explanation:

The unit product cost under variable costing includes only the variable manufacturing costs. As stated, you don't have any fixed manufacturing overhead in this case, only a variable manufacturing overhead of $8 per direct labor hour. Hence, if it's assumed that one unit takes one labor hour to produce, then the estimated unit product cost would be $8.00. However, if a product takes more or less time to manufacture, the cost would be higher or lower respectively. For example, a product that takes 2 hours to manufacture would cost $16 under this system.

Barkoff Enterprises, which uses the high-low method to analyze cost behavior, has determined that machine-hours best explain the company's utilities cost. The company's relevant range of activity varies from a low of 600 machine hours to a high of 1,200 machine-hours, with the following data being available for the first six months of the year:

Month Utilities Machine Hours
January $8,700 800
February $8,360 720
March $8,950 810
April $9,360 920
May $9,625 950
June $9,150 900

Using the high-low method, the utilities cost associated with 1,110 machine hours would be _____.

Answers

Answer:

The utilities cost associated with 1,110 machine hours will be $10,505.

Explanation:

High Low method is a way to calculate the variable and fixed cost element of total cost using lowest level of activity and its cost and highest level of activity and its cost.

In this example The Highest activity of Machine hour is in the month of May and Lowest  activity is in February.

Using high low method:

Variable cost =  ( Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost ) / ( Highest activity - Lowest activity )

Variable cost =  ( Cost in May - Cost in February ) / ( Machine hours in May - Machine Hours in February)

Variable cost =  ( $9,625 - $8,360 ) / ( 950 - 720 )

Variable cost =  $1,265 / 230

Variable cost =  $5.50 per machine hour

Fixed Cost = $8360 - ( 720 x $5.5) = $8360 - $3960 = $4,400

Utility cost of 1110 units = $4,400 + ( 1,110 x 5.5 ) = $4400 + $6,105 = $10,505

The future of cities in the United States and in other countries will be determined by their ability to benefit from the _________________ and to minimize or counterbalance the ______________________.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": Economies of agglomeration; corresponding diseconomies.

Explanation:

Economies of agglomeration refer to a type of economy in which companies are located one close to another to take advantage of their core competencies. This economic structure typically helps businesses to reduce relocation and delivery costs increasing their profits but in some other cases, the costs could increase if some of the firms lost their economies of scale.

Thus, metropolises in the U.S. must find ways to boost the benefit of economies of agglomeration minimizing the negative effects of the diseconomies of scale in which some firms might fall.

The future of cities in the United States and in other countries will be determined by their ability to benefit from the economies of scale and to minimize or counterbalance the negative externalities.

 The term economies of scale refers to the cost advantages that enterprises obtain due to size, output, or scale of operation, with cost per unit of output generally decreasing with increasing scale as fixed costs are spread out over more units of output.

Cities can benefit from economies of scale in various ways, such as through more efficient public transportation systems, better use of infrastructure, and a larger pool of human capital.

These benefits can lead to increased productivity and economic growth, which are crucial for the future development of cities.

The future of cities is likely to be shaped by how effectively they can harness the advantages of being large population centers while also addressing and mitigating the adverse effects that come with urbanization.

By doing so, cities can become more sustainable, livable, and economically vibrant places.

The question is incomplete, it does not have total capacity for the four activities available but i will assume that the activities maximize consumption and shares it amongst themselves hence to get the consumption ratio from their total.

cutting hours 4000+5400 = 9400

Assembly Hours 2850 + 4650= 7500

Inspection hours 945 + 2430= 3375

Rework hours 150 + 450 = 600

consumption ratio = capacity per activity / total capacity per total activities

Net incomes before tax then divided into two portion Tax and net income after tax on the basis of tax percentage.

Net income before tax = Net income after tax + Tax

Net income before tax  = $60,000 + ( 60,000 x 25% / 75% ) = $60,000 + $20,000 = $80,000

Net income before tax  = Sales + other income - Cost of Sales - ( Operating Expenses)

$80,000 = Sales + $33,000 - $74,000 - ( $20,000 + $12,000 + $15,000 )

$80,000 = Sales - $41,000 - $47,000

$80,000 = Sales - $88,000

Sales = 80,000 + $88,000

Sales = $168,000

What type of adjustment is Completed services that were paid for six months earlier, $1,070? The Service Revenue unadjusted balance as of December 31 is $10,300. The Unearned Revenue balance as of December 31 is $11,600

Answers

Answer:

Unearned Revenue Balance   $10530

Service revenue Balance    $11370

Explanation:

given data

time = 6 month

Completed services  paid =  $1,070

Service Revenue unadjusted = $10,300

Unearned Revenue balance = $11,600

solution

Unearned Revenue

31-Dec     $11,600    

31-Dec  $1070  

Balance   $11,600 - $1070

Balance   $10530

and

Service revenue

31-Dec      $10,300    

31-Dec      $1070

balance    $10,300  + $1070    

Balance    $11370

 

Final answer:

The question concerns an accounting adjustment of Unearned Revenue, which occurs when a service paid for in advance has been completed. This kind of adjustment involves moving a specified amount from 'Unearned Revenue' to 'Service Revenue'. In this example, that amount is $1,070.

Explanation:

The adjustment being referred to in this scenario would be for Unearned Revenue. Unearned revenue, also known as deferred revenue, refers to payments received by a company for goods or services that have yet to be provided. In this instance, the service was paid for six months earlier but has just been completed. Therefore, an adjustment must be made to move the $1,070 from Unearned Revenue (a liability account) to the Service Revenue (an income statement account).

The entries will be as follows:
Debit (decrease) Unearned Revenue - $1,070.
Credit (increase) Service Revenue - $1,070.

So after this adjustment, the balances in the accounts would be,
Service Revenue unadjusted balance as of December 31, would be $11,370 ($10,300 + $1,070).
The Unearned Revenue balance as of December 31, would be $10,530 ($11,600 - $1,070).

Elaine is a secretary for a business. One day a customer comes in to file a new contract while Elaine is seated at her boss’s desk. The customer assumes Elaine is a person of authority, and Elaine is knowledgeable enough to help the customer file the contract.
Which response aligns best with this situation?

a) Enforceable via factor agent
b) Enforceable or unenforceable - no agency
c) Enforceable via employee agent
d) Enforceable or unenforceable w/ agency

Answers

Answer:

The answer is c:

Enforceable via employee agent

Explanation:

The definition of agency law deals with agent-principal relationships; that is a relationship where one party has the legal authority to act in place of another. Relationships that are commonly associated with agency law include employer-employee, administrator-decedent or executor, and guardian-ward.

Agreements that result in the formation of agency-type relationships can be implied or express, and both the principal and the agent can be an entity (such as partnership or corporation) or individual.

Here in the given situation, since, Elaine is an employee of the business and knowledgeable enough to deal with the contract filing, it is implied that she is acting as an employee agent, that she can help the customer in filing the contract.

Final answer:

The contract is enforceable via Elaine as an employee agent, since she acted within the scope of her employment and the customer reasonably assumed she had the authority to file the contract on behalf of the company.

Explanation:

Considering the situation where Elaine, a secretary, is assumed to be a person of authority by a customer and helps the customer file a contract, the response that aligns best with this situation is enforceable via employee agent. As an employee of the company who is knowledgeable and has acted within the scope of her employment by helping a customer file a contract, it is implied that Elaine has the authority to perform such tasks. In legal terms, this concept is known as the 'apparent authority' or 'ostensible authority' where the actions of the employee bind the employer because the customer reasonably believed Elaine had the authority to act on behalf of the company.

Consider a $2,700 deposit earning 6 percent interest per year for 9 years. How much total interest is earned on the original deposit (excluding interest earned on interest)?

Answers

Answer:

Total interest earned on the original deposit=$403.593

Explanation:

Total Interest earned after 6 years using compound Interest:

[tex]FV=PV(1+i)^n[/tex]

Where:

PV is the deposit amount

i is the interest Rate

[tex]FV=\$2,700(1+0.06)^9[/tex]

FV=$4561.593

Total Interest earned after 6 years=FV-PV

Total Interest earned after 6 years=$4561.593-$2,700

Total Interest earned after 6 years=$1861.593

Total Interest earned after 6 years using single Interest:

Total Interest=$2,700*0.06*9

Total Interest =$1458

Total interest earned on the original deposit=Total Interest earned after 6 years-Total Interest

Total interest earned on the original deposit=$1861.593-$1458

Total interest earned on the original deposit=$403.593

Your cousin is currently 10 years old. She will be going to college in 8 years. Your aunt and uncle would like to have $ 105 comma 000 in a savings account to fund her education at that time. If the account promises to pay a fixed interest rate of 4.1 % per​ year, how much money do they need to put into the account today to ensure that they will have $ 105 comma 000 in 8 ​years?

Answers

Answer:

$76,134.84

Explanation:

Data provided in the given question

Future value = $105,000

Fixed interest rate = 4.1%

Number of years = 8

The calculation of present value is given below:-

= Future value ÷ (1 + rate of return)^number of years

= $105,000 ÷ (1 + 4.1%)^8

= $105,000 ÷ 1.379132002

= $76,134.84

Therefore, we simply applied the present value formula.

4. Consider the following information for a closed economy. Y = $12 trillion, C = $8 trillion, G = $2 trillion, Spublic = $-0.5 trillion and T = $2 trillion. 1. What is private savings for this economy? 2. What is investment spending for this economy? 3. What are the transfer payments for this economy? 4. Is there a government budget deficit or surplus for this economy? PreviousNext

Answers

Answer:

a. Private savings= $2.5 trillion

b. Investment = $2 trillion

c. Transfer payment = $0.5 trillion

d. The economy has a budget deficit of $0.5 trillion.

Explanation:

Y = $12 trillion

C = $8 trillion

G = $2 trillion

Spublic = $-0.5 trillion

T = $2 trillion

(a) Private Savings =Y + TR -C - T., where Y is GDP, TR is Transfer Payment, C is consumption expenditure and T are taxes. 

Private savings = 12 + 0.5 - 8 -2

Private savings = $2.5 trillion.

(b) Investment= Y - C - G

= 12 - 8 - 2

Investment= $2 trillion.

(c) Solve for Transfer payment(TR) by rearranging public saving: T-G-TR = S(public).

TR = T - G - S(public)

= 2 - 2 - (-.5)

= 0.5 trillion

The transfer payment is 0.5 trillion dollar.

(d) To know whether there's budget surplus or not, we find the budget balance = T - G - TR

= 2 - 2 - 0.5

= -0.5 trillion.

This shows that there's a budget deficit of 0.5 trillion dollar.

Up-Town Express processed 89,233 packages this month. If this is 36.5% less than last month, how many packages did they process last month?A) 30,997

B) 38,567

C) 140,524

D) 130,230

Answers

Answer:

X=140.524.4≅140,524 Packages

Correct option is C (140,524)

Explanation:

Given Data:

Up-Town Express processed =89,233 packages this month

Less than last month=36.5%=0.365

Required:

Packages did they process last month=?

Solution:

Let say X is the number of Packages they process last month.

Equation from above data:

89233+0.365X=X

89233=X-0.365X

0.635X=89233

X=89233/0.635

X=140.524.4≅140,524 Packages

Correct option is C (140,524)

The number of packages Up-Town Express processed last month, we calculated the original amount before a 36.5% decrease that resulted in 89,233 packages this month. The calculation shows that last month, they processed option C. 140,524 packages.

To calculate the number of packages Up-Town Express processed last month given that they processed 89,233 packages this month, which is 36.5% less than last month.

To find the original number of packages processed last month, we can see this situation as a percentage decrease problem.

As 89,233 is 63.5% (100% - 36.5%) of the previous month's amount, we can set up a proportion to solve for the original amount.

Let x be the number of packages processed last month. So we have:

63.5% of x = 89,233 packages

To convert 63.5% to a decimal, we divide by 100: 63.5% = 0.635

Therefore:

0.635 × x = 89,233

To find x, divide both sides by 0.635:

x = 89,233 / 0.635

x = 140,524 packages

So the correct answer is C) 140,524, representing the number of packages processed by Up-Town Express last month.

Suppose an economist tests the theory that when the price of leather increases, fewer pairs of shoes are produced. He observes more shoes being produced when the price of leather increases. At the same time, a new production technology allowed for more shoes to be produced in less time.
He:

a. has confused association and causation.
b. cannot test his theory because his observations violate the ceteris paribus assumption.
c. used normative economics to answer a positive question.
d. built a model with too many variables.

Answers

Answer:

b. cannot test his theory because his observations violate the ceteris paribus assumption

Explanation:

As per the law of supply, when price of an input rises, quantity supplied of a good falls, keeping other factors affecting supply as constant (ceteris paribus).

Leather and Shoes are complimentary goods in the sense that leather serves as an input for the product i.e shoes. So if the price of leather rises, production of shoes would fall, keeping other factors constant.

When the price of an input rises, the quantity supplied falls, keeping other factors affecting supply as constant.

In the given case, the price of inputs has increased and yet the production of shoes has increased owing to an advancement in the technology. Technology is a different determinant of quantity supplied and considered as an other factor affecting supply.

Final answer:

The economist's observations were affected by an unnoticed variable - the new production technology. Therefore, the economist could not accurately test his theory about the relationship between the price of leather and shoe production due to violating the ceteris paribus assumption.

Explanation:

The economist in your question is trying to test the theory that when the price of leather increases, fewer pairs of shoes are produced. However, he observes the opposite. He observes an increase in shoe production when the price of leather increases. His observations may not necessarily be incorrect, but he has failed to consider a critical assumption in economics, called the ceteris paribus assumption.

This assumption implies that 'all other things being equal.' In reality, the economist identified that a new production technology was introduced which allows for more efficient production. Therefore, when trying to assess the impact of leather price increases on shoe production, not all things remain unchanged. As a result, the correct answer to your question would be: b. he cannot test his theory because his observations violate the ceteris paribus assumption.

Adams Enterprises’ noncallable bonds currently sell for $1,120. They have a 15-year maturity, an annual coupon of $85, and a par value of $1,000. What is their yield to maturity? 5.84% 6.15% 6.47% 6.81% 7.17%

Answers

Answer: 7.17%

Explanation:

Given,

YTM = ?

Annual Coupon, C = $85

Par Value, F = $1000

Current Bond Price, p = $1120

Maturity Year, n = 15

The yield to maturity is 7.17% from the data given in the question above. We will use the yield to maturity formula which stated as YTM = C + [(F-P)/n] / [(F+P)/2] where YTM is the yield to maturity,

C is the annual coupon,

F is the par value,

p is the current bond price, and

n is the maturity year.

YTM = 85 + [(1000-1120)/15] / [(1000+1120)/2]

YTM = 7.17%

Explanation:

The unused capacity ordinarily will not change the fixed component of cost but will increase the variable cost hence the net income increase or decrease is know as net contribution margin. However, given the fixed cost as a unit cost, it will be affected by the offer of accepted.

Net income is the result of sales less cost where the cost is made of the fixed and variable portions.

Net income increase/(decrease)

= 23.1 (3800) - 3800(17.9 + 8)

Heath Food Corporation’s bonds have 7 years remaining to maturity. The bonds have a face value of $1,000 and a yield to maturity of 8%. They pay interest annually and have a 9% coupon rate. What is their current yield?

Answers

Answer:

8.55%

Explanation:

For computing the current yield first we have to determine the present value by applying the present value formula which is shown below:

Given that,  

Future value = $1,000

Rate of interest = 8%

NPER = 7 years

PMT = $1,000 × 9% = $90

The formula is shown below:

= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)

After solving this, the present value is $1,052.06

Now the current yield is

= PMT ÷ PV

= $90 ÷ $1,052.06

= 8.55%

Final answer:

The current yield of the bond is 8%.

Explanation:

The current yield is the annual interest payment of a bond divided by its current market price. In this case, the bond has a coupon rate of 9% and a face value of $1,000. The yield to maturity is 8%. Since the bonds pay interest annually, the annual interest payment is -

= $1,000 * 9%

= $90.

To find the current yield, we need to determine the current market price of the bond. We can use the following formula:

Current yield = Annual interest payment / Current market price.

Rearranging the formula, we get:

Current market price = Annual interest payment / Current yield.

Substituting the values, we have:

Current market price

= $90 / 8%

= $1125.

Therefore, the current yield of the bond is $90 / $1125, which equals 8%.

Requirement 4. Zeke​'s top management is deciding whether to embark on a $ 190 comma 000 advertising campaign. The marketing firm has projected annual sales volume to increase by 18​% as a result of this campaign. Assuming that the projections are​ correct, what effect would this advertising campaign have on the​ company's annual operating​ income?

Answers

Answer: It will increase the company's annual operating income by 18%.

Explanation: Operating income is an accounting and finance term which is known as the total amount generated by a business Organisation after the total costs that are associated with the operations and the tax have been deducted from the total revenue generated during the period under review.

AN OPERATING INCOME CAN BE CALCULATED YEARLY OR ANNUALLY (ANNUAL OPERATING INCOME).

The higher the operating income the higher the profit margin earned by the business Organisation.

Final answer:

An advertising campaign increasing sales by 18% would boost the company's operating income to $16,400 from $15,000.

Explanation:

To determine the effect of the advertising campaign on the company's annual operating income, we need to consider the increase in sales volume and its impact on revenue, as well as any associated costs.

First, we calculate the increase in revenue resulting from the increase in sales volume:

Increase in revenue=Initial sales × Percentage increase

Then, we calculate the impact of the advertising campaign on the operating income:

Impact on operating income =Increase in revenue −Advertising campaign cost

Impact on operating income=Increase in revenue−Advertising campaign cost

Profit = Revenue - Costs

Given: Existing Profit = $15,000, Increase in Sales = 18%

New Profit after Advertising = Existing Profit + (18% * Existing Profit) - $190,000

Therefore, the company's annual operating income would be $16,400.
