Suppose that in a competitive market without government regulations, the equilibrium price of a hamburger is $7 each.
Complete the following table by indicating whether each of the statements is an example of a price ceiling or a price floor and whether it is binding or nonbinding.
Statement Price Control Binding or Not
Due to new regulations, fast-food restaurants that would like to pay better wages in order to hire more workers are prohibited from doing so.
The government prohibits fast-food restaurants from selling hamburgers for more that $5 each.
Answer:
Price Ceiling regulations prohibit the price of a good or service from being higher than a set price known as the Price Ceiling.
Price Floor regulations prohibit the price of a good or service from being lower than a set price known as the Price floor.
When either Price Ceiling or Floor is said to be nonbinding, it means that it does not affect the market/ equilibrium price of the good or service.
Binding Ceilings or Floors affect the market/ equilibrium price.
Due to new regulations, fast-food restaurants that would like to pay better wages in order to hire more workers are prohibited from doing so. BINDING PRICE CEILING.
The Fast-food restaurants cannot pay above a certain amount which makes this a Price Ceiling. It is binding because the Market wants to pay higher wages to hire more people but cannot therefore the price ceiling is having an effect on the equilibrium price.
The government prohibits fast-food restaurants from selling hamburgers for more that $5 each. BINDING PRICE CEILING.
Fast-food restaurants are not allowed to sell above the set price of $5 which makes this a price ceiling. It is Binding because the equilibrium price is $7 which means that fast-food restaurants are forced to sell below the equilibrium price therefore this Price ceiling affects the equilibrium price.
Answer:
See Below..
Explanation:
1. Due to new regulations, fast-food restaurants that would like to pay better wages in order to hire more workers are prohibited from doing so.
Price Ceiling and Binding
In the labor market, minimum wage laws are an example of a price floor while a cap on wages is an example of a price ceiling. Moreover, the impact of the minimum wage laws depends on the skill and experience of the worker. In this case, new regulations restrict fast-food restaurants from increasing wages and, thus, attracting more workers. This binding price ceiling causes a shortage of workers in this labor market.
2. The government prohibits fast-food restaurants from selling hamburgers for more that $5 each.
Price Floor and Binding
A price ceiling is a legal maximum on the price at which a good can be sold. Therefore, prohibiting fast-food restaurants from selling hamburgers for more than a particular price is an example of a price ceiling. A binding price ceiling is a price ceiling that is set below the equilibrium price. Because the equilibrium price is $7 each for hamburgers, a legal maximum price of $5 is a binding price ceiling. A binding price ceiling will ultimately cause a shortage, while a non-binding price ceiling has no effect on the equilibrium price and quantity.

If annualized interest in the U.S. and France are 9% and 13%, respectively, and the spot value of the French franc is $0.1109, then at what 180-day forward rate will interest rate parity hold
Answer:
0.1130 FF/$
Explanation:
Spot value = 0.1109 FF/$
Interest rate in US for 180 days = 9%*180/365 = 0.044384
Interest rate in France for 180 days = 13%*180/365 = 0.06411
Forward rate = Spot value*(1+Interest rate in US)/(1+Interest rate in France)
Forward rate = 0.1109*(1+0.06411)/(1+0.044384)
Forward rate = 0.1109*(1.06411/1.044384)
Forward rate = 0.1109* 1.018888
Forward rate = 0.1130 FF/$

Wells Technical Institute (WTI), a school owned by Tristana Wells, provides training to individuals who pay tuition directly to the school. WTI also offers training to groups in off-site locations. Its unadjusted trial balance as of December 31, 2017, follows. WTI initially records prepaid expenses and unearned revenues in balance sheet accounts. Descriptions of items a through h that require adjusting entries on December 31, 2017, follow.
Additional Information:
a. An analysis of WTI's insurance policies shows that $2,807 of coverage has expired.
b. An inventory count shows that teaching supplies costing $2,433 are available at year-end 2017.
c. Annual depreciation on the equipment is $11,227. Annual depreciation on the professional library is $5,614.
d. On November 1, WTI agreed to do a special six-month course (starting immediately) for a client. The contract calls for a monthly fee of $2,900, and the client paid the first five months' fees in advance. When the cash was received, the Unearned Training Fees account was credited. The fee for the sixth month will be recorded when it is collected in 2018. On October 15, WTI agreed to teach a four-month class (beginning immediately) for an individual for $2,619 tuition per month payable at the end of the class. The class started on October 15, but no payment has yet been received. (WTI's accruals are applied to the nearest half-month; for example, October recognizes one-half month accrual.) WTI's two employees are paid weekly. As of the end of the year, two days' salaries have accrued at the rate of $100 per day for each employee. The balance in the Prepaid Rent account represents rent for December.
Answer:
The question is incomplete, it is a really long question actually. I believe that you want to check if the adjusting entries were properly done.
a. An analysis of WTI's insurance policies shows that $2,807 of coverage has expired.
Dr Insurance expense 2,807
Cr Prepaid insurance 2,807

b. An inventory count shows that teaching supplies costing $2,433 are available at year-end 2017.
Dr Teaching supplies expense (amount on trial balance - $2,433)
Cr Teaching supplies (amount on trial balance - $2,433)
You do not need to record $2,433, you need to record the difference between the balance of teaching supplies and the ending inventory.
c. Annual depreciation on the equipment is $11,227. Annual depreciation on the professional library is $5,614.
Dr Depreciation expense 16,841
Cr Accumulated depreciation, equipment 11,227

A Corporation sells a single product for $20 per unit. Last year, the company's sales revenue was $300,000 and its net operating income was $24,000. If fixed expenses totaled $96,000 for the year, the break-even point in unit sales was: A) 12,000 units B) 9,900 units C) 15,000 units D) 14,100 units
Answer:
A) 12,000 units
Explanation:
For computing the break even point in units sales first determine the variable cost which is shown below:
= Sales revenue - fixed expenses - net operating income
= $300,000 - $96,000 - $24,000
= $180,000
And, the variable cost per unit is
= $180,000 ÷ ($300,000 ÷ $20)
= $12
Now the break even point is
= Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= $96,000 ÷ ($20 - $12)
= 12,000 units
If a company paid $6,000 in advance for a year's worth of insurance, how
much money would need to be adjusted after one month?
O A. $500
B. $6,000
O C. $1,000
O D. $3,000
Answer:
A.
Explanation:
because 500x12 = 6,000 if you need to pay 500 every month then you need to pay 6,000 every year because they are 12 months each year and 500x12 = 6,000

Intangible Assets and Goodwill: Amortization and Impairment In early 2011, Bowen Company acquired a new business unit in a merger. Allocation of the acquisition cost resulted in fair values assigned as follows:
Intangible Asset Fair Value Estimated Value
Customer lists $400,000 5 years
Developed technology 640,000 10 years
Internet domain name 1,040,000 Indefinite
Goodwill 4,960,000 Indefinite
The goodwill is assigned entirely to the acquired business unit. Impairment reviews at the end of 2011 and 2012 did not identify any impairment losses. After the business suffered a downturn during 2013, the year-end impairment review yielded the following information: Customer lists are estimated to have undiscounted future cash flows of $200,000 and discounted future cash flows of $144,000.
The internet domain name is estimated to have undiscounted future cash flows of $800,000 and discounted future cash flows of $600,000. The acquired business unit has a fair value of $13,600,000, a carrying amount of $14,800,000, and the fair value of its identifiable net assets is $11,360,000.

A steel rolling mill can produce I-beams at the rate of 20 tons per week. Customer demand for the beams is 5 tons per week. To produce the I-beams, the mill must go through a setup that requires changing to the required rolling patterns. Each setup costs the mill $10,000 in labor and lost production. The I-beam cost the mill $2,000 per ton and has an inventory holding rate of 25 percent. Assume the plant operates for 50 weeks in a year. Using Microsoft Excel, calculate the following:
a) the optimal production batch size of the mill.
b) The maximum (highest) inventory level at the plant
c) The annual inventory holding cost
d) The annual setup cost of the plant
e) The annual product cost f) Total Annual Inventory Cost (TAIC)
Answer:
A) 114 tons
C) $22800
D) $22807.02
Explanation:
Given Data:
annual holding cost (H) = 25% * $2000
setup cost (s) = $10000
production rate = 20
weekly demand = 5 tons
first we have to calculate the Annual demand , holding cost and the usage rate:
Annual demand = 5 tons * 52 weeks
= 260 tons
Holding cost (H) = 25% * $2000
= $500
Usage rate = (production rate) / (customer demand)
= 20 / 5 = 4 tons
A) Optimal production batch size of the mill
Qp = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2DS}{H} } * \sqrt{\frac{P}{P-u} }[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2*260*10000}{500} } * \sqrt{\frac{20}{20-4} }[/tex]
= 114 tons
C) The annual inventory holding cost
Annual holding cost
= [tex]\frac{Imax}{2} * H[/tex]
Imax = ( Qp / P ) (p-u)
= (114 / 20 ) ( 20 - 4 )
= 91.2 tons
therefore Annual holding cost : = ( 91.2 / 2) * 500 = $22800
D) Annual setup cost of the plant
= [tex]\frac{D}{Qp} * S[/tex]
D = 260
Qp = 114
S = $10000
hence Annual setup cost of the plant
= (260/114) * 10000
= $22807.02
A client heard through its hotline that John, the purchases journal clerk, periodically enters fictitious acquisitions. After John creates a fictitious purchase, he notifies Alice, the accounts payable ledger clerk, so she can enter them in her ledger. When the payables are processed, the payment is mailed to the nonexistent supplier’s address, a post office box rented by John. John deposits the check in an account he opened in the nonexistent supplier’s name.

a. Define fraud, fraud deterrence, fraud detection, and fraud investigation.
b. List four personal (as opposed to organizational) fraud symptoms, or red flags, that indicate the possibility of fraud. Do not confine your answer to this example.
c. List two procedures you could follow to uncover John’s fraudulent behavior. (CIA Examination, adapted)
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. Fraud is a criminal deception by someone which is done for either personal or financial gain.
Fraud deterrence is when the likely causes of fraud are identified and removed so as to prevent fraud from occuring.
Fraud detection are the activities that are done so as to prevent money or any other thing from being gotten by false pretenses.
Fraud investigation has to do with using investigative skills and accountability in order to know if fraud has taken place.
b. Fraud symptoms that indicate the possibility of fraud include:
1. Accounting and analytical anomalies
2. Tips and complaint
3. Extravagant lifestyle
4. Unusual behavior
c. The procedures that could be done to uncover John’s fraudulent behavior are:
• Stock reconciliation: This will help show the fictitious acquisitions. Since no receipt are given for the goods, this will help in the detection of the fraud.
• Alice should verify the details such as the address, phone number and name attached to the purchase and find a way of tracking it.

Orange Inc., an orange juice producer with a current debt-to-equity ratio of 2, is considering expanding its operations to produce toothpaste. Unsurprisingly, the toothpaste industry faces a different set of risks than the orange juice industry. However, the executives at Orange Inc. observe that Paste Inc., a toothpaste company, has a cost of equity of 12%, a cost of debt of 6%, and a debt-to-value ratio of 40%. Orange Inc. plans to finance its expansion into toothpaste production with 50% debt and 50% equity. The cost of debt for Orange Inc. is also 6%, and the corporate tax rate is 25%. Solve for the discount rate that Orange Inc. should use when evaluating whether to go forward with the expansion Note: Orange Inc. does not want to use the Adjusted Present Value method.

Weight of debt ; Wd = 40%
Weight of equity; We = 1 - 40% = 0.6
Pretax discount :
We * Ke + Wd * Kd
0.6 * 0.12 + 0.4 * 0.06 = 0.096
For orange :
Weight of debt (Wd) = 50% = 0.5
Weight of Equity (We) = 50% = 0.5
Cost of debt (Kd) = 6% = 0.06
Tax rate (r) = 25% = 0.25
Cost of Equity (Ke) :
Pretax discount + 1(pretax discount - cost of debt)
0.096 + 1(0.096 - 0.06)
0.096 + 0.096 - 0.06 = 0.132
WACC: for orange Inc.
We * Ke + Wd * Kd * ( 1 - tax rate)
0.5 * 0.132 + 0.5 * 0.06 * (1 - 0.25)
0.5 * 0.132 + 0.5 * 0.06 * 0.75
0.066 + 0.0225
= 0.0885
= 0.0885 * 100%

Eggz, Inc., is considering the purchase of new equipment that will allow the company to collect loose hen feathers for sale. The equipment will cost $430,000 and will be eligible for 100 percent bonus depreciation. The equipment can be sold for $48,000 at the end of the project in 5 years. Sales would be $279,000 per year, with annual fixed costs of $48,000 and variable costs equal to 35 percent of sales. The project would require an investment of $27,000 in NWC that would be returned at the end of the project. The tax rate is 21 percent and the required return is 8 percent. Calculate the NPV of this project. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) NPV
Answer:
NPV = $91,412.60
Explanation:
initial outlay = $430,000 (equipment cost) + $27,000 (increase in net working capital) = $457,000
revenue per year (without considering depreciation) = {[$279,000 x (1 - 35%)] - $48,000} x (1 - 21%) = $105,346.50
additional revenue generated by bonus depreciation = $430,000 x 21% = $90,300
after tax salvage value = $48,000 x (1 . 21%) = $37,920
Cash flow year 0 = -$457,000
Cash flow year 1 = $105,346.50 + $90,300 = $195,646.50
Cash flow year 2 = $105,346.50
Cash flow year 3 = $105,346.50
Cash flow year 4 = $105,346.50
Cash flow year 5 = $105,346.50 + $37,920 + $27,000 = $170,266.50
discount rate = 8%
using a financial calculator, NPV = $91,412.60
What can you conclude about a firm in the short run from its marginal product numbers as its output approaches capacity production
Answer: Law of Diminishing returns would apply
Explanation:
The Law of Diminishing returns is used to describe the phenomenon where after a certain level of input, the output produced no longer increases at an increasing rate but instead starts increasing at a decreasing rate.
For instance;
Labor Output
2 4
4 8
6 16
8 20
10 22
Notice how at first the output increased by 4 then by 8 but then started increasing by 4 and then by 2. This is the Law of Diminishing Marginal returns and a reality that normally faces a firm in the short run as its output approaches capacity production.
What are the nominal and effective costs of trade credit under the credit terms of 3/10, net 30? Assume a 365-day year. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.
Answer:
Nominal cost of trade credit = [Discount percentage / (100- Discount Percentage) ] * [ 365 Days / (Credit's Outstanding - Discount Period) ]
Nominal cost of trade credit = 3/97 * 365/30 - 10
Nominal cost of trade credit = 3/97 * 365/20
Nominal cost of trade credit = 0.030928 * 18.25
Nominal cost of trade credit = 0.564436
Nominal cost of trade credit = 56.44%
Effective cost of trade = (1 + Periodic rate)^n - 1
Periodic rate = 0.03 / 0.97 = 0.3093
Periods/year = 365 / (30-10) = 18.25
Effective cost of trade = (1 + 0.3093)^18.25 - 1
Effective cost of trade = (1 .3093)^18.25 - 1
Effective cost of trade = 1.74354232297 - 1
Effective cost of trade = 0.74354232297
Effective cost of trade = 74.35%
Answer:
nominal cost of credit = 56.44% ;EAR = 74.35%
Explanation:
1.nominal cost of credit =
"(discount rate /1 - discount rate )" or part 1
multiply by "365/(days the credit is outstanding -discount days )" or part 2 .Thus ,nominal cost of credit= (0.03/1-0.03 )*(365 /30 -10)= part 1* part 2 = 0.030928*18.25=56.44%
2.EAR =[ (1 - "part 1 ") ^("part 2") ] - 1= [ (1+0.030928)^18.25 ] -1 =1.74348 -1 = 0.74348 or 74.348% or 74.35%

Explanation:
A machine with a useful life of six years and a residual value of $3,000 was purchased at the beginning of year 1 for $30,000. The machine was sold for $15,000 on April 1 in year 4. a. What was the book value of the machine at the end of year 3 assuming the straight-line method of depreciation is used
Answer:
Book value= $16,500
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Useful life= 6 years
Purchase value= $30,000
Residual value= $3,000
First, we need to calculate the annual depreciation using the straight-line method:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (30,000 - 3,000) / 6
Annual depreciation= $4,500
Now, the accumulated depreciation at the end of year 3:
Accumulated depreciation= 3*4,500= $13,500
Finally, the book value:
Book value= purchase price - accumulated depreciation
Book value= 30,000 - 13,500
Book value= $16,500

Blaster Corporation manufactures hiking boots. For the coming year, the company has budgeted the following costs for the production and sale of 30,000 pairs of boots.
Budgeted Costs Budgeted Costs per Pair Percentage of Costs Considered Variable
Direct materials $ 630,000 $ 21 100 %
Direct labor 300,000 10 100
Manufacturing overhead
(fixed and variable) 720,000 24 25
Selling and administrative
expenses 600,000 20 20
Totals $ 2,250,000 $ 75
Required:
a. Compute the sales price per unit that would result in a budgeted operating income of $900,000, assuming that the company produces and sells 30,000 pairs. (Hint: First compute the budgeted sales revenue needed to produce this operating income.) Assume that the company decides to sell the boots at a unit price of $121 per pair.
b-1. Compute the total fixed costs budgeted for the year.
b-2. Compute the variable cost per unit.
b-3. Compute the contribution margin per pair of boots.
b-4. Compute the number of pairs that must be produced and sold annually to break even at a sales price of $121 per pair.
Answer:
a. Sales volume = (Fixed costs + Target income) / Contribution margin per unit
Fixed costs = ( Percentage of fixed Selling and Admin expenses) +
Percentage of fixed Manufacturing expenses
= 600,000 * 80% + 720,000 * 75%
= 480,000 + 540,000
= $1,020,000
30,000 units = (1,020,000 + 900,000) / Contribution Margin per unit
Contribution margin per unit = 1,920,000/30,000
= $64
Sales per unit = Contribution margin per unit + Variable cost per unit
Variable Cost per unit = 21 + 10 + (24*25%) + (20 * 20%)
= $41
Sales per unit = 64 + 41
= $105 per unit
b - 1. Fixed costs = ( Percentage of fixed Selling and Admin expenses) + Percentage of fixed Manufacturing expenses
= 600,000 * 80% + 720,000 * 75%
= 480,000 + 540,000
= $1,020,000
b - 2. Variable Cost per unit
= Direct materials + Direct Labor + variable percentage of Manufacturing overhead cost per unit + variable percentage of Selling and administrative per unit
= 21 + 10 + (24*25%) + (20 * 20%)
= $41
b - 3. Contribution margin = Selling price - Variable cost
= 121 - 41
= $80
b - 4. Breakeven Point = Fixed Cost / Contribution margin
= 1,020,000/80
= 12,750 units

Calculation for Current ratio
First step is to Calculate the Total current assets :
Cash $130,000
Accounts receivables $100,000
Inventory $110,000
Prepaid insurance $60,000
Total current assets (a) $400,000
Second step is to Calculate the Total current liabilities :
Accounts payable $140,000
Salaries and wages payable $20,000
Total current liabilities (b) $160,000
Now let find the current ratio using this formula
Current ratio = Total current assets / Total current liabilities
Let plug in the formula
Current ratio =$400,000 / $160,000
Current ratio =2.50 : 1
Therefore the Current ratio will be 2.50 : 1
