On December 1, 2021, Coronado Industries exchanged 48000 shares of its $10 par value common stock held in treasury for a used machine. The treasury shares were acquired by Coronado at a cost of $45 per share, and are accounted for under the cost method. On the date of the exchange, the common stock had a fair value of $60 per share (the shares were originally issued at $35 per share). As a result of this exchange, Coronado's total stockholders' equity will increase by
Answer:
$2,880,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what Coronado's total stockholders' equity will increase by
Increase in total stockholders' equity =[(48000*45)-(48000 * (60-45))]
Increase in total stockholders' equity =$2,160,000+$720,000
Increase in total stockholders' equity =$2,880,000
Therefore the total stockholders' equity will increase by $2,880,000
Cityscape Hotels has 200 rooms available in a major metropolitan city. The hotel is able to attract business customers during the weekdays and leisure customers during the weekend. However, the leisure customers on weekends occupy fewer rooms than do business customers on weekdays.
Thus, Cityscape plans to provide special weekend pricing to attract additional leisure customers. A hotel room is priced at $180 per room night. The cost of a hotel room night includes the following:
Cost Per Room Night (at normal occupancy)
Housekeeping service................................................................$ 23
Utilities............................................................................................7
Amenities........................................................................................3
Hotel depreciation.........................................................................55
Hotel staff (excluding housekeeping)............................................42
Total....................................................................................$130
The special weekend price is proposed for $120 per room night. At this price, it is anticipated that average occupancy for the weekend (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) will increase from 30% to 50% of available rooms.
A. What is the contribution margin for a room night under the normal pricing if only the hotel depreciation and hotel staff (excluding housekeeping) are assumed fixed for all occupancy levels?
B. Determine the contribution margin for a room night under the proposed weekend pricing.
C. Prepare a differential analysis showing the differential income for an average weekend between the existing (Alternative 1) and discount (Alternative 2) price plan.
D. Should management accept the proposed weekend pricing plan? Explain.

In the aftermath of the BP oil spill in 2010, the Associated Press interviewed an engineering professor at the University of California, Berkeley for his take on what could have led to such a disaster. According to this professor, the BP spill falls into the category of disasters that result when an organization, because of overconfidence and incompetence, simply ignores warning signs. Was this a rational decision
Answer:
BP Oil Spill in 2010
The decision by BP to ignore the warning signs was not a rational decision.
Explanation:
A rational decision-making process employs a structured or logical process to the act of decision-making. Its pillars include logic, objectivity, and analysis. A rational decision-making process does not favor subjectivity and individual insight but relies more on the insight obtained from data analysis. The claim of the professor is a rational one because it is based on objective evidence.
The nations of Pamland and Lillytonia can produce two goods, DVD
players and wheat. In a single year, Pamland can produce 150 DVD players
or 300 bushels of wheat and Lillytonia can produce 200 DVD players or
600 bushels of wheat. Which of the following deals would Pamland and
Lillytonia be willing to accept? *
A) There are no deals for trade that Lillytonia would be willing to accept because
Lillytonia could make more of both goods.
B) Lillytonia sells 1/4 bushels of wheat to Pam and gets 1 DVD player in return.
C) Lillytonia sells 4 bushels of wheat to Pam and gets 1 DVD player in return.
D) Lillytonia sells 2.5 bushels of wheat to Pam and gets 1 DVD player in return.
D) Lillytonia sells 2/5 bushels of wheat to Pam and gets 1 DVD player in return
Answer:
The best deal would be option B) that is
Lillytonia sells 1/4 bushels of wheat to Pam land and gets 1 DVD player in return.
Explanation:
STEP 1
The output of DVD per unit of labor for Pamland = 150.
The output of Bushels of wheat per unit of labor for Pamland= 300.
The output of DVD per unit of labor for Lillytonia = 200.
The output of Bushels of wheat per unit of labor for Lillytonia= 600.
STEP 2
To calculate the comparative advantage, we use the following formula:
Comparative Advantage = DVD Output / Wheat Output
STEP 3
In Pamland, the opportunity cost, or the comparative advantage, of DVD is
300 / 150 = 2 bushels of wheat.
The opportunity cost of wheat in Pamland is 120/ 300 = 0.5 DVDs.
In Lillytonia the opportunity cost, or comparative advantage, of DVD is 600/200 = 3 bushels of wheat, while
The opportunity cost of wheat in Lillytonia is 200/600 = 1/3 or 0.33333 DVDs
STEP 4
As is clear from the calculations, Pamland should produce more wheat because it has the lower opportunity cost during production 2 against 3 for Lillytonia. Conversly, Lillytonia has the lowest opportunity cost for the production of DVD clocking 1/3 against a higher 1/2 for Pamland.
The countries should therefore trade in such a way that Pamlan is selling it's Wheat while Lillytonia is selling it's DVDs.
STEP 5
Given that Pamland's 2 bushels of wheat will cost it 0.5 DVDs, 4 bushels will thus cost it 1 DVD. It is impracticable (in any case) to have 1/2 of a DVD player.

b. If there was no bona fide business discussion either preceding or after the event, the deduction will be $0 because in such case, no expenses were incurred on food or entertainment.
The company budgeted for production of 2,400 units in June, but actual production was 2,500 units. The company used 19,850 pounds of direct material and 980 direct labor-hours to produce this output. The company purchased 21,700 pounds of the direct material at $6.70 per pound. The actual direct labor rate was $19.20 per hour and the actual variable overhead rate was $1.80 per hour.
The company applies variable overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased.
The variable overhead efficiency variance for June is: _________
a. $36 U
b. $36 F
c. $40 U
d. $40 F
Answer:
d. $40 F
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what The variable overhead efficiency variance for June is
First step is to calculate the SH
SH = 2,500 units × 0.4 hour per unit
SH= 1,000 hours
Now let calculate the Variable overhead efficiency variance
Using this formula
Variable overhead efficiency variance = (AH - SH) × SR
Let plug in the formula
Variable overhead efficiency variance= (980 hours - 1,000 hours) × $2 per hour= (-20 hours) × $2 per hour
Variable overhead efficiency variance= $40 F
Therefore Variable overhead efficiency variance is $40 F

Answer:
Other things equal, this would lead to:
an increase in interest rates of home repair loans as the demand for those loans increased.
Explanation:
With an increase in the demand for house repair loans, as a result of the devastation wrought by the hurricane, the rate of interest on loans normally increases with demand. The concept of scarcity of loanable funds (or limited resources) is the root cause of this increase in house loan rate. The reverse becomes the case when there is a decrease in demand.

The market demand curve in perfect competition is found by A. the interaction of supply and demand at the individual firm and consumer levels. B. horizontally summing the demand curves of the individual consumers. C. utility maximizing behavior of the "representative consumer." D. horizontally summing the supply curves of the individual firms in the industry.
Answer:
b
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
the demand curve is a graph of the quantity demanded on the vertical axis and the price on the horizontal axis. it is downward sloping
market demand curve is the aggregation of demand curves
Because goods are identical, market demand curve can be determined by horizontally summing the demand curves of the individual consumers

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Only projects with a positive NPV should be accepted. A project with a negative NPV should not be chosen because it isn't profitable.
When choosing between positive NPV projects, choose the project with the highest NPV first because it is the most profitable

Should I tell my parents I'm adopted?
Answer: Yes
Explanation:
It is important, when telling them about their adoption, to help them understand that they were born first—and that all children, adopted or not, are conceived and born in the same way. The birth came first, then the adoption. Waiting until adolescence to reveal a child's adoption to him or her is not recommended. “Halloween is the beginning of the holiday shopping season. That’s for women. The beginning of the holiday shopping season for men is Christmas Eve.”

Jacques lives in Miami and runs a business that sells guitars. In an average year, he receives $793,000 from selling guitars. Of this sales revenue, he must pay the manufacturer a wholesale cost of $430,000; he also pays wages and utility bills totaling $301,000. He owns his showroom; if he chooses to rent it out, he will receive $15,000 in rent per year. Assume that the value of this showroom does not depreciate over the year. Also, if Jacques does not operate this guitar business, he can work as a financial advisor, receive an annual salary of $50,000 with no additional monetary costs, and rent out his showroom at the $15,000 per year rate. No other costs are incurred in running this guitar business.
Identify each of Jake's costs in the following table as either an implicit cost or an explicit cost of selling guitars.
Implicit Cost Explicit Cost
The wages and utility bills that Jake pays
The salary Jake could earn if he worked as an accountant
The wholesale cost for the guitars that Jake pays the manufacturer
The rental income Jake could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom
Complete the following table by determining Jake's accounting and economic profit of his guitar business.
Profit (Dollars)
Accounting Profit
Economic Profit
Answer:
Explicit Costs
The wages and utility bills that Jake pays
The wholesale cost for the guitars that Jake pays the manufacturer
Implicit costs
The salary Jake could earn if he worked as an accountant
The rental income Jake could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom
Accounting profit = $62,000
economic profit = $-3000
Explanation:
Explicit cost includes the amount expended in running the business. They include rent , salary and cost of raw materials
Implicit cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives. Jacques forgoes the opportunity to earn a salary and rent out his showroom when he started his business
Accounting profit= total revenue - explicit cost
$793,000 - ($430,000 + $301,000) = $62,000
Economic profit = accounting profit - implicit cost
$62,000 - (50,000 + 15,000) =$-3000
