The XYZ Manufacturing Co. uses a gain sharing plan that gives incentives to employees to finish products rather than to incentivize dollar savings. Therefore, this company measures productivity as the ratio of standard labor hours and actual labor hours. Which kind of gain sharing program does XYZ Manufacturing Co. use?


A) Improshare

B) Rucher

C) Scanlon

D) SVOP

Answer: The options are given below:

A. The proposal in which each side pays half the tax.

B. The proposal in which workers pay the entire tax.

C. The proposal in which employers pay the entire tax.

D. None of the proposals is better than the others.

The correct option is D. None of the proposals is better than the others.

Explanation:

From this question given above, we can see that the equilibrium quantity of labor, the amount that the employers will pay per hour after the tax, and the amount that the workers will take home do not depend on who will pay the tax.

Therefore, it does not matter which tax proposal given in the options above the government implements because none of the proposals is better than the others.

The best tax proposal would likely be one that either gives a tax credit to employers for hiring research assistants or involves a subsidiary wherein the government subsidizes part of the wage bill. This minimizes the share of tax an employer pays, encouraging the employment of more research assistants.

To make an informed decision we would need precise details about the three tax proposals. Regardless, the goal from the question is to minimize the share of tax paid by the employer for hiring research assistants without discouraging them. A tax proposal best suited for this likely involves a structure where the employer pays less or limited tax for hiring research assistants, shifting majority of the tax burden to other entities. This could be a tax credit for hiring research assistants so that the more research assistants they hire, the lower their net tax burden, or a subsidiary where government subsidizes a part of wage bill of research assistants.

Answer: B. i’m sorry, but the transfer disclosure statement covers all material facts that must be disclosed, and a person having aids is not a material fact, whether or not it would be applicable in this situation.

Explanation: According to the state law on transfer disclosure statement, all material facts that affect the value or desirability of the property must be disclosed to the buyer.

A fact will generally be deemed material if it has a significant and measurable effect on the value of the property.

Details that you do not need to be disclose include whether a prior occupant had Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) or whether someone died on the property.

The appropriate response the broker must give to Clark's query is both options b and c. The transfer disclosure statement covers all material facts, and the medical history of a previous tenant is not a material fact. Also, discussing the medical status of a previous tenant could infringe upon fair housing laws.

The appropriate legal response the broker must give to Clark’s query is d. both b and c.

This is because the transfer disclosure statement does cover all material facts that must be disclosed, and as per legal guidelines, the medical history of a previous resident, regardless of its nature, is not deemed a material fact that would influence the value or desirability of the property (option b).

In addition, discussing the medical status of a previous tenant could potentially infringe upon fair housing laws and civil rights, considering multiple federal and state regulations protect against this kind of discrimination. Hence, the broker is not permitted to answer this question (option c).

Answer:

D. the passage of time

Explanation:

Price elasticity of supply measures the responsiveness of quantity supplied to changes in price.

If quantity supplied is more responsive to changes in price , supply is elastic.

If quantity supplied is less responsive to changes in price, supply is inelastic.

The determinants of elasticity of supply are ;

The passage of time -in the long run, firms are usually able to expand or reduce production in response to changes in the market. Thus supply is more elastic in the long run. While, in the short run, supply is less responsive to changes in the market because in the short run most of the factors of production are fixed.

2. Number of producers

3. Ease of switching production.

The other options in the question determine the elasticity of demand.

I hope my answer helps you

The key determinants of price elasticity of supply are the passage of time and the availability of factors of production, from the options given the most appropriate is the passage of time.

The price elasticity of supply is a measure used in economics to show the responsiveness, or elasticity, of the quantity supplied of a good or commodity to a change in its price. The key determinants of the price elasticity of supply are the passage of time and the availability of factors of production, neither of which are directly mentioned among your options.

From the provided options, choice D, the passage of time, would be the most appropriate answer as it somewhat addresses the time-related ability of producers to alter their quantity supplied in response to a price change. Over time, for example, a firm can purchase more machines or hire more employees to increase production when prices rise.

A tax cut typically increases aggregate demand and may increase aggregate supply, leading to increased output, potential rise in price levels, and improved employment conditions, especially during recessionary periods.

An income tax rate cut will most likely increase aggregate demand and have an indeterminate effect on aggregate supply. However, the typical assumption in the short term is that aggregate supply may remain unchanged or increase slightly if the tax cuts positively affect the incentives for production. Therefore, the most likely answer is A) increase; increase. When a government tax cut occurs, it typically leads to an increase in consumption demand since individuals retain more of their earnings. This increased consumption demand can shift the aggregate demand (AD) curve to the right. For example, if aggregate demand becomes higher by 50 at every price level due to a tax cut, the new equilibrium in the market would be at a point where the aggregate demand and aggregate supply intersect at a higher quantity of output.

This shift in equilibrium will lead to an increase in output, reflecting economic growth. The price level might rise as well, although this effect can be muted during a recession since the economy is not at full employment. An increase in output typically correlates with an increase in employment, as more labor is often required to produce a higher quantity of goods and services.

During recessionary periods, such as the 2001 recession, tax cuts are often used to stimulate the economy. They shift the AD curve to the right, which can result in increased real GDP and reduced unemployment, without significant inflationary pressure, especially when the economy operates below its potential output.

A) increase; increase, An income tax rate cut will most likely increase aggregate demand and increase aggregate supply.

Aggregate Demand (AD): An income tax cut increases the disposable income of consumers. With more disposable income, consumers are likely to spend more on goods and services. Therefore, an income tax cut will most likely increase aggregate demand.

Aggregate Supply (AS): A tax cut can also positively affect producers. With lower tax rates, businesses have more money to invest in capital, hire more workers, or reduce prices, which can increase the quantity of goods and services supplied at every price level.

Answer:

$95,000 will be taxed at 25% and $40,000 will be taxed at 15%

Explanation:

(See attachment below for Long-term capital gains tax rate)

Depending on income and marital status, the long-term capital gains tax rates are 0%, 15% and 20% respectively.

Bridget is single and her realised gain is $135,000

Out of which $95,000 is unrecaptured Section 1250 gain.

The capital gain attracts 15%

(See attachment below)

The capital gain is calculated as

$135,000 - $95,000 = $40,000

The $95,000 will be taxed at 25% under the unrecaptured Section 1250 gain.

According to these figures, Oak has more equivalent units of production for materials and fewer equivalent units of production for conversion costs than Maple.

Explanation:

The equivalent production unit is an indication of a manufacturer's work on the produced units, which are partially finished at the close of the accounting period. In addition the completely loaded units and the partially filled units are entirely fitted out.

The number of partially completed units x percentage of completion = equivalent units of production.

Oak : 58,000 x 65% = 37,700

Equivalent units of production = 37,700

Maple: 61,200 x 60% = 36,600

So, Oak has more equivalent units of production for materials and fewer equivalent units of production for conversion costs than Maple.

Purchases / Inventory         $11,000

Promissory Note Payable                  $11,000

Explanation:

Promissory note is a signed document which contains a written promise for payment of stated amount to specific person or bond holder on demand or specified date.

In this case the purchases are made and a promissory note of $11,000 is signed for 45 days at 8% annual rate.

This entry will be recorded as the purchases or Inventory are debited and as promissory note is a short term liability so, promissory note payable is credited resulting increase in inventory as well increase in current liability.

Answer:

The maximum amount allowable is $5716.

Explanation:

The depreciation rate at the MARCS table for the 7 years in recovery period is  14.29%. Which means that the most depreciation that is deductable is 14.29% of the depreciation basis.

The maximum amount of the depreciation amount = $40,000 * 14.29% = $5716

The maximum depreciation deduction for an asset with a depreciable basis of $40,000, placed in service under the 7-year recovery class with the half-year convention, is $5,716 for the year 2019.

The question asks about calculating the maximum depreciation deduction for an asset with a depreciable basis of $40,000, placed in service on May 15, 2019, belonging to the 7-year recovery class with the half-year convention applying, excluding the election to expense and bonus depreciation.

Under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS), which applies to the 7-year property class and utilizes the half-year convention, the first-year depreciation rate is 14.29%. Therefore, for 2019, the calculation would be $40,000 (depreciable basis) * 14.29% = $5,716 as the maximum depreciation deduction for 2019.

This calculation uses the MACRS depreciation tables designed for different property classes. It divides the asset's life into recovery periods and applies a specific percentage each year, which in the case of 7-year property and the half-year convention for the first year of service is 14.29%.

Answer: The correct answer is 4. debit supplies expense, $3,500; credit supplies, $3,500.

Explanation: Since at the end of June, the inventory of the supply indicated $3,000 on hand, it implies that $3,500 had already been expensed (utilized) by White Laundry Company. This has to be taken out to operating expenses, in terms of passing the accounting journals, from the asset (inventory) where the total amount of $6,500 was posted.

Final answer:

The adjusting entry necessary for the White Laundry Company on June 30 is to 4. debit Supplies Expense for $3,500 and credit Supplies for $3,500, reflecting the used supplies as an expense.

Explanation:

The White Laundry Company needs to make an adjusting entry on June 30. The company started with $6,500 of supplies and ended with $3,000. The difference, which is $3,500, represents the amount of supplies that has been used up and should be recorded as an expense. Therefore, the correct adjusting entry to record the used supplies as an expense is to debit Supplies Expense for $3,500 and credit Supplies for $3,500. This is because in accrual accounting, expenses are recognized when they are incurred, not necessarily when they are paid. Hence, the adjusting entry should reflect the reduction in supplies and the corresponding increase in expenses.

Answer:

10%

Explanation:

Since the bond is selling at a discount, it means that the coupon rate is blow the market rate, so the actual rate must be higher. Since there is only one option with an interest rate above 9%, we must check to see if it works.

10% yearly interest rate = 5% semiannual interest rate

we must determine the PV of the 20 coupons paid and the face value at maturity.

to calculate the PV of the 20 coupons ($45 each) we can use an excel spreadsheet and the NPV function with a 5% discount rate: PV of the coupons = $560.80

the PV of the face value in 10 years = $1,000 / 1.05²⁰ = $376.89

the present value of the coupons and the bond at maturity = $560.80 + $376.89 = $937.69. The PV using a 5% semiannual rate is very similar to $937.75, and since the question asked us to round up to the nearest whole percent, we can assume it is correct.

Answer:

A) a reduction of the carrying value of the investment

Explanation:

Under the equity method, the investor company cannot record dividends as revenue, it must record them as a reduction of the carrying value of their investment. Under the equity method, the value of the investment decreases with cash dividends. This transaction involves only a change between assets, investment decreases while cash increases, no additional revenue is recorded.

Answer:

The answer is B.

Explanation:

Economic profit is the difference between total revenue and both explicit cost and implicit cost. i.e Total revenue - explicit cost - implicit cost.

Explicit cost is also known as accounting cost. They are the cost that are directly related to the production of goods and services while implicit cost is the opportunity cost of chosen to produce the goods and services.

In perfectly competitive market, firms continue to enter the when economic profit is still positive (with this, they are generating normal profit) but cease to enter when the profit drops to zero(with this, they are making loss)

So therefore, firms will enter until economic profits are zero.

Answer:

There are two possible explanations for why the manufacturers lost money by leasing cars:

If the residual value was calculated correctly, then the car manufacturers should have changed their method of selling the returned cars, and probably should sell them directly.

Final answer:

The manufacturer was losing money because the auction price of the returned cars was less than the calculated residual value.

Explanation:

The manufacturer was losing money on the car leasing program because the auction price of the returned cars was, on average, $480 less than the residual value set for the cars. This means that when the customers decided to keep the cars and pay the residual value, the manufacturer had overestimated the value of the cars, leading to a loss.

For example, if the new car price was $10,000, the residual value would be $6,000 (60% of $10,000). However, the manufacturer was only able to sell the returned car for an average of $5,520 at the auction, resulting in a loss of $480.

Therefore, the manufacturer was losing money because they were unable to sell the returned cars at a price that covered the calculated residual value.

Answer:

Unemployment rate = 5.697%

Labor force participation rate = 66.786%

Explanation:

Given:

Labor force = 149.2 million

Number of employment = 140.7 million

Working-age population = 223.4 million

Unemployment rate = ?

Labor force participation rate = ?

Computation of Number of Unemployed:

Number of Unemployed = Labor force - Number of employment

Number of Unemployed = 149.2 million - 140.7 million

Number of Unemployed = 8.5 million

Computation of Unemployment rate:

Unemployment rate = 8.5 million  / 149.2 million  

Unemployment rate = 5.697%

Labor force participation rate = number in labor force / adult population

Labor force participation rate = 149.2/223.4  = 0.66786

Labor force participation rate = 66.786%

Final answer:

The unemployment rate in June 2004 was calculated to be 5.7%, and the labor force participation rate was found to be 66.8% using the given data.

Explanation:

Calculating Unemployment Rate and Labor Force Participation Rate

To calculate the unemployment rate, we need the number of unemployed individuals and the total labor force. The formula for the unemployment rate is:

Unemployment Rate = (Number of Unemployed / Labor Force) × 100

From the given data for June 2004:

Employment = 140.7 million

Labor Force = 149.2 million

Working-Age Population = 223.4 million

First, let's calculate the number of unemployed:

Number of Unemployed = Labor Force - Employment = 149.2 million - 140.7 million = 8.5 million

Now, we calculate the Unemployment Rate:

Unemployment Rate = (8.5 million / 149.2 million) × 100 = 5.7%

Next, to calculate the labor force participation rate, we use the labor force and the adult working-age population:

Labor Force Participation Rate = (Labor Force / Working-Age Population) × 100

Labor Force Participation Rate = (149.2 million / 223.4 million) × 100 = 66.8%

Therefore, the unemployment rate for June 2004 is 5.7% and the labor force participation rate is 66.8%.

Answer:

$57,000

Explanation:

We know because of the accounting equation that assets are equal to liabilities + stockholders equity, therefore, stockholders equity are equal to $45,000 if assets are $60,000 and liabilities are $15,000.

If revenues were $48,000 and expenses were $30,000, the difference $18,000 is added to the stockholders' equity value, which is now equal to $63,000 ($45,000 + $18,000).

We then add the $9,000 worth of shares that were issued, and now we have a stockholder's equity value of $72,000.

Finally, we substract the $15,000 of dividends paid to reach the final figure of $57,000 ($72,000 - $15,000).

Answer:

May; cannot do anything

Explanation:

In the short run, the aggregate supply curve will react to price level, which means it is upward sloping rather than vertical. If the price level increases, quantity supplied will increase. If the price level decreases, the quantity supplied will decrease.

Answer:

Economists who view the AS curve as upward-sloping believe that changes on the demand side CAN result in changes in Real GDP in the short run. Economists who view the AS curve as vertical believe that government changes from the demand side CANNOT DO ANYTHING to raise Real GDP in the short run.

Explanation:

In the short run, the aggregate supply (AS) curve is upward sloping because most input prices are fixed in the short run. So a change in the aggregate demand will cause the AS curve to change in the short run. If the demand increases, the aggregate supply will increase, and vice versa.

On the long run, input prices are not fixed, so the AS curve is vertical and any changes in the aggregate demand will not affect it.

Answer:

Performance

B

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to state in what way was a contract on a land purchase deal was discharged.

Firstly, we need to understand what is meant by the term contract discharge. What is meant by the term contract discharge refers to what has happened when the main obligations of a contract has ended.

It refers to the termination of a contractual agreement between two or more parties who are involved in the contract deal.

Now, to terminate a contract, there may or there may not be the fulfillment of all obligations which are in the contractual agreement. What this means is that a contractual agreement can end even without total execution of the conditions that are stipulated in the contractual agreement.

What we are trying to say here is that there is an absolute difference between the discharge and termination of a contract agreement.

The discharge and termination of a contract deal can be through: performance, fraud, breach or even agreement.

In this question we are concerned with discharge by performance. A discharge by performance occurs when the parties involved in the contractual agreement discharge their duties in the contract agreement which naturally brings the contract agreement to an end

Answer:

$7,825.78

Explanation:

In this question we use the Present value formula that is shown in the attachment below:

Given that,  

Future value = $10,000

Rate of interest = 8.2%  ÷ 12 months = 0.683333%

NPER = 3 years  × 12 months = 36 months

PMT = $0

The formula is shown below:

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

So, after solving this, the amount of deposit today is $7,825.78

Celesta Frank needs to deposit $7,690.06 today to have $10,000 in 3 years assuming an annual interest rate of 8.2% compounded monthly.

To determine the amount Celesta needs to deposit today, she has to use the formula for calculating the present value in finance. The present value (PV) is calculated as follows: PV = FV / (1 + r/n) ^ (nt), where:

Therefore, the amount Celesta needs to deposit today can be calculated as: PV = 10000 / (1 + 0.082/12)^(12*3) = $7,690.06
