What is the price elasticity of demand? How is it calculated? Question #2: The makers of academic books find that when they raise the price of the average book from $50 to $75, quantity demanded among students drops from 100 to 90. Among casual readers, quantity demanded drops from 80 to 40. a. Calculate the price elasticity of demand for each group. b. Is demand price elastic or price inelastic for each group? c. Using the determinants of demand, explain why there is a difference in elasticity for each group.
Answer:
a. Calculate the price elasticity of demand for each group.
PED for students = 0.2PED for casual readers = 1b. Is demand price elastic or price inelastic for each group?
PED for students = 0.2, price inelasticPED for casual readers = 1, unitary elastic demandc. Using the determinants of demand, explain why there is a difference in elasticity for each group.
Basically, students are required to buy academic books, so their preferences will be to buy them regardless of their price, that is why their PED is price inelastic. On the other hand, casual readers will compare the price of academic books to other books (competition) and have more options where to choose from, that is why their PED is higher.Explanation:
The price elasticity of demand shows us how a 1% change in price will affect the quantity demanded of a product.
PED = % change in Q demanded / % change in price
PED for students:
% change in Q demanded = (90 - 100) / 100 = -10% % change in price = (75 - 50) / 50 = 50%PED = -0.1 / 0.5 = -0.2 or |0.2| in absolute terms
PED for casual readers:
% change in Q demanded = (40 - 80) / 80 = -50% % change in price = (75 - 50) / 50 = 50%PED = -0.5 / 0.5 = -1 or |1| in absolute terms

Explanation:
a) Salinger Company
Data and Calculations:
Total factory overhead = $132,000
Direct labor hours (estimate) = 22,000
Predetermined factory overhead rate = Factory overhead divided by direct labor hours
= $132,000/22,000
= $6
b) Almerinda Company
Data and Calculations:
Total factory overhead = $1,750,000
Direct labor hours (estimate) = 500,000
Predetermined factory overhead rate = Factory overhead divided by direct labor hours
= $1,750,000/500,000
= $3.50
Harrington Company uses predetermined overhead rates to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs. The predetermined overhead rate is based on machine-hours in the Machining Department and direct labor cost in the Assembly Department. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates: Machining Assembly Direct labor hours 16,000 12,000 Direct labor cost $ 20,000 $ 15,000 Machine-hours 5,000 1,000 Manufacturing overhead $ 25,000 $ 30,000 What predetermined overhead rates would be used in the Machining and Assembly Departments, respectively?
Answer
Machining Department Assembly department
POAR = $5 per machine hour 200% of direct labor cost
Explanation:
Under absorption costing, overheads are charged to products using pre-determined overhead absorption rate. With this rate, overhead are included in the cost of every unit produced.
The rated is computed follows:
Predetermined overhead absorption rate (POAR)
= Estimated overhead for the period/Estimated activity level
Machining Department
POAR =25,000/ 5,000 machine hours=$5 per machine hour
Assembly department
PIAR = $30,000/15,000× 100 = 200% of labor cost
Corentine Co. had $169,000 of accounts payable on September 30 and $141,000 on October 31. Total purchases on account during October were $298,000. Determine how much cash was paid on accounts payable during October. On September 30, Valerian Co. had a $111,000 balance in Accounts Receivable. During October, the company collected $111,390 from its credit customers. The October 31 balance in Accounts Receivable was $106,000. Determine the amount of sales on account that occurred in October. During October, Alameda Company had $119,500 of cash receipts and $120,150 of cash disbursements. The October 31 Cash balance was $27,100. Determine how much cash the company had at the close of business on September 30.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. For the cash paid
= Opening balance of account payable + total purchase - ending balance
= $169,000 + $298,000 - $141,000
= $326,000
b. The sale amount on account should be equivalent to the ending balance of account receivable i.e. $106,000
c. The beginning cash balance is
Closing cash balance = beginning cash balance + cash receipts - cash disbursements
$27,100 = Beginning cash balance + $119,500 - $120,150
So, the beginning cash balance is $27,750
Direct materials $ 69,000 Direct labor $ 35,000 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 15,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead 28,000 Total manufacturing overhead $ 43,000 Variable selling expense $ 12,000 Fixed selling expense 18,000 Total selling expense $ 30,000 Variable administrative expense $ 4,000 Fixed administrative expense 25,000 Total administrative expense $ 29,000 Required: 1. With respect to cost classifications for preparing financial statements: a. What is the total product cost
Answer: $147,000

Total product cost will be:
Direct materials: 69,000
Add: direct labor: 35,000
Add: total manufacturing overhead: 43,000
Total product cost:
= 69000 + 35000 + 43000
= $147,000
Suppose we can divide all the goods produced by an economy into two types:
consumption goods and capital goods.
Capital goods, such as machinery, equipment, and computers, are goods used to produce other goods. Suppose a technological advance occurs that affects the production of consumption goods but not capital goods. If a technological advance occurs that affects the production of consumption goods but not capital goods, then the production possibilities frontier will:_______.
Answer: C. shift outward along the consumption goods axis.
Explanation:
The Production Possibilities Frontier is used to graph the optimal production quantities of 2 types goods in an economy given the limited resources in the economy.
This means that the frontier represents the combination of both goods can be produced given available resources and if one produces more of one good they would have to give up producing some of the other good.
If there was a technological advance that could increase the amount of consumption goods given the same resources then the PPF would shift outward along the consumption good axis to reflect this.
Bratt's Bed and Breakfast, in a small historic New England town, must decide how to subdivide (remodel) the large old home that will become their inn. There are three alternatives: Option A would modernize all baths and combine rooms, leaving the inn with four suites, each suitable for two to four adults. Option B would modernize only the second floor; the results would be six suites, four for two to four adults, and two for two adults only. Option C (the status quo option) leaves all walls intact. In this case, there are eight rooms available, but only two are suitable for four adults, and four rooms will not have private baths. Below are the details of profit and demand patterns that will accompany each option. Which option has the highest expected value?Annual profit under various demand patterns Capacity p Average pA (Modernize all) $90,000 .5 $25,000 .5B (Modernize 2nd) $80,000 .4 $70,000 .6C (Status Quo) $60,000 .3 $55,000 .7
Answer:
Option B (Modernize 2nd) has the highest expected value which $74,000.
Explanation:
Note: The data in the question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before anwering the question as follows:
Annual profit under various demand patterns
Capacity p Average p
A (Modernize all) $90,000 .5 $25,000 .5
B (Modernize 2nd) $80,000 .4 $70,000 .6
C (Status Quo) $60,000 .3 $55,000 .7
The explanation to the answer is now provided as follows:
The expected value is estimated as the addition of the multiplication of each possible outcomes by the probability of occurrence of each outcome.
The expected value for each of the options in the question can therefore be estimated using the following formula:
Expected value = (Capacity * p of Capacity) + (Average * p of Average)
This formula is therefore applied to each options as follows:
Option A expected value = ($90,000 * 0.5) + ($25,000 * 0.5) = $45,000 + $12,500 = $57,500
Option B expected value = ($80,000 * 0.4) + ($70,000 * 0.6) = $32,000 + $42,000 = $74,000
Option C expected value = ($60,000 * 0.3) + ($55,000 * 0.7) = $18,000 + $38,500 = $56,500
Based on the calculations above, Option B (Modernize 2nd) has the highest expected value which $74,000.

Mr. Smith would like to run for a Senate seat in Massachusetts. He is 49 years old and has been a citizen of the United States all his life. He lives in New York and is registered to vote in that state. He owns a house in Massachusetts and visits there occasionally. His business is in Albany, New York. Can Mr. Smith run for the Massachusetts Senate seat? Why or why not?
Answer: No. Mr. Smith cannot run for the Massachusetts Senate seat
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Mr. Smith is 49 years old, a United States citizen and that he would like to run for a Senate seat in Massachusetts. He lives in New York and is registered to vote in that state.
It should be noted that Mr Smith isn't a resident of Massachusetts and therefore, he cannot run for Senator as he's not registered there but rather he registered in New York. Assuming he registered in New York, then he can be a senator there but he isn't registered there, therefore he can't.
The objective of maximizing value for the shareholders provides an important theme in corporate finance. This objective is not without criticism. Which of the following is NOT a criticism. Select one: a. The objective is blind to social and ethical costs associated with value maximization. b. The objective does not well account for the fact that managers are naturally inclined to act in their own best interests, which are not always in line with that shareholders. c. It assumes that accrual based profits are superior to cash flows. d. It assumes some level of market efficiency.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Agency conflicts arises when the objectives of managers isn't aligned with that of shareholders.
Due to the objective of maximising value for shareholders, managers might be induced to engage in aggressive accounting practices in order to present a higher profits than might actually exist. This practice is unethical. This places more emphasis on profits than cash flows.

Harris Company must set its investment and dividend policies for the coming year. It has three independent projects from which to choose, each of which requires a $3 million investment. These projects have different levels of risk, and therefore different costs of capital. Their projected IRRs and costs of capital are as follows: Project A: Cost of capital = 18%; IRR = 21% Project B: Cost of capital = 14%; IRR = 11% Project C: Cost of capital = 7%; IRR = 10% Harris intends to maintain its 35% debt and 65% common equity capital structure, and its net income is expected to be $6,288,000. If Harris maintains its residual dividend policy (with all distributions in the form of dividends), what will its payout ratio be? Round your answer to two decimal places. %
Answer:
Dividend payout ratio = 37.98%
Explanation:
Residual dividend policy means where a company uses residual equity to fund dividend payments.
We will accept Project A & C because Project B has lesser IRR than its Cost of Capital
Total investment = $3,000,000 * 2
Total investment = $6,000,000
Dividends = Earnings - Investment
Dividends = $6,288,000 - 65%*($6,000,000)
Dividends = $6,288,000 - 0.65($6,000,000)
Dividends = $6,288,000 - $3,900,000
Dividends = $2,388,000
Dividend payout ratio = Dividend / Total earnings
Dividend payout ratio = $2,388,000 / $6,288,000
Dividend payout ratio = 0.379771
Dividend payout ratio = 37.98%
A multiconcept restaurant incorporates two or more restaurants, typically chains, under one roof. Sharing facilities reduces costs of both real estate and labor. The multiconcept restaurants typically offer a limited menu compared to full-sized, stand-alone restaurants. For example, KMAC operates a combination Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC)/Taco Bell restaurant. The food preparation areas are separate, but orders are taken at shared point-of-sale (POS) stations. If Taco Bell and KFC share facilities, they reduce fixed costs by 30 percent; however, sales in joint facilities are 20 percent lower than sales in two separate facilities. What do these numbers imply for the decision of when to open a shared facility versus two separate facilities
Answer: The Multiconcept restaurant is beneficial to both restaurant chains
Explanation:
If they share resources then they are saving 30% in fixed costs even though they are losing 20% in sales.
If the losses in sales are subtracted from the savings in fixed costs, it means that both Taco Bell and KFC are benefitting by 10%.
This shows that the decision to open a shared facility versus two separate facilities is beneficial to both restaurants on a net benefits basis as the savings in fixed costs from sharing facilities outweighs the losses in sales probably resulting from not offering a full menu.

Jeff Kaufmann’s machine shop sells a variety of machines for job shops. A customer wants to purchase a model XPO2 drilling machine from Jeff’s store. The model XPO2 sells for $180,000, but Jeff is out of XPO2s. The customer says he will wait for Jeff to get a model XPO2 in stock. Jeff knows that there is a wholesale market for XPO2s from which he can purchase an XPO2. Jeff can buy an XPO2 today for $150,000, or he can wait a day and buy an XPO2 (if one is available) tomorrow for $125,000. If at least one XPO2 is still available tomorrow, Jeff can wait until the day after tomorrow and buy an XPO2 (if one is still available) for $110,000. There is a 0.40 probability that there will be no model XPO2s available tomorrow. If there are model XPO2s available tomorrow, there is a 0.70 probability that by the day after tomorrow, there will be no model XPO2s available in the wholesale market. Three days from now, it is certain that no model XPO2s will be available on the wholesale market.a. What is the maximum expected profit if Jeff makes the purchase today?b. What is the maximum expected profit if Jeff makes the purchase tomorrow?c. What is the maximum expected profit if Jeff makes the purchase two days from now?d. What is the maximum expected profit if Jeff makes the purchase three days from now?e. What should Jeff do?
Answer:
a) If Jeff purchases today, then he can expect to earn $30,000.
b) If Jeff decides to wait and try to purchase tomorrow, his expected profit is $22,000.
c) If Jeff decides to wait even more and buy the day after tomorrow, then his expected profit is $8,400.
d) Three days form now there will be no XPO2 available, so his profit is $0.
e) Jeff should purchase the XPO2 today and earn $30,000.
Explanation:
selling price $180,000
buys today, then profit = $180,000 - $150,000 = $30,000buys tomorrow, then profit = $180,000 - $125,000 = $55,000 x 40% = $22,000if he buys the day after tomorrow, then profit = $180,000 - $110,000 = $70,000 x 40% x 30% = $8,400if he waits 3 days, then his profit is $0 because there are no XPO2s available.FreshProduce is a family-owned grocery store that sells organic and locally grown food and fresh produce. There is only one check-out station with one cashier. It takes the cashier on average 5 minutes to check out a customer. The standard deviation of the check-out time is also 5 minutes. On average, there are 6 customers per hour. The standard deviation of the inter-arrival time is 10 minutes. What is the utilization of the process? Group of answer choices 25% 50% 75% 100%
Answer:
50%
Explanation:
The time taking to check a customer is 5 minutes, hence the processing time is 5 minutes.
There are 6 customers per hour that is 1 customer per 10 minutes, therefore the inter arrival time is 10 minutes.
The utilization is the ratio of the processing time to the arrival time, it is given by the formula:
Utilization = Processing time / inter arrival time
Utilization = 5 minutes / 10 minutes = 0.5
Utilization = 50%
You wish to retire in 14 years, at which time you want to have accumulated enough money to receive an annual annuity of $17,000 for 19 years after retirement. During the period before retirement you can earn 8 percent annually, while after retirement you can earn 10 percent on your money. What annual contributions to the retirement fund will allow you to receive the $17,000 annuity? Use Appendix C and Appendix D for an approximate answer, but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods.
Answer:
Annual contribution = $5873.06
Explanation:
First we will find the present value at the time of retirement and then we will find the annual contribution during the years of working. Below is the calculation to find the present value
Present value at the time of retirement = Annuity (P/A, r, n)
Present value at the time of retirement = $17000 (P/A, 10%, 19)
Present value at the time of retirement = $17000 (8.365)
Present value at the time of retirement = $142205
Now find the annual contribution:
Annual contribution = Future value (A/F, r, n)
Annual contribution = 142205 (A/F, 8%, 14)
Annual contribution = 142205(0.0413)
Annual contribution = $5873.06
S&L Financial buys and sells securities which it classifies as available-for-sale. On December 27, 2021, S&L purchased Coca-Cola bonds at par for $965,000 and sold the bonds on January 3, 2022, for $968,500. At December 31, the bonds had a fair value of $960,000, and S&L has the intent and ability to hold the investment until fair value recovers. What pretax amounts did S&L include in its 2021 and 2022 net income as a result of this investment
Answer:
2021= $0 gain/loss
2022= $3,500 gain
Explanation:
S and L financial buys and sells securities
On December 27, 2021 S&L purchased coca-cola bonds at par for $965,000
The bonds were sold for $968,500 at January 3 2022
At December 31, the bonds had a fair value of $960,000
Since the amount of fair value has reduced greatly below the value at which it was bought on December 31 then, this implies that there will be no gain/loss that will be recognised in the earnings
Therefore,
The Pretax amount that S&L include in its net income as a result of this investment in 2021 is
= $0 gain/loss in earnings
The pretax amount that S&L include in its net income as a result in this investment in 2022 is
= $968,500-$965,000
= $3,500 gain
g In Lizzie Shoes’ experience, gift cards that have not been redeemed within 12 months are not likely to be redeemed. Lizzie Shoes sold gift cards for $19,500 during August 2021. $5,000 of cards were redeemed in September 2021, $3,390 in October, $3,080 in November, and $2,380 in December 2021. In 2022 an additional $1,250 of cards were redeemed in January and $680 in February. How much gift card revenue associated with the August 2021 gift card sales would Lizzie get to recognize in 2021 and 2022?
Answer:
2021
Due to the Accrual principle in Accounting, the revenue for 2021 will be the gift cards that were earned (redeemed) in 2021.
= 5,000 + 3,390 + 3,080 + 2,380
= $13,850
2022
Any gift cards that have not been redeemed within 12 months are not likely to be redeemed so the remaining gift cards can be said to be redeemed in 2022 which would mean that the revenue in 2022 is;
= 19,500 - 13,850
= $5,650

Miller Corporation has a premium bond making semiannual payments. The bond has a coupon rate of 8 percent, a YTM of 6 percent, and 12 years to maturity. The Modigliani Company has a discount bond making semiannual payments. This bond has a coupon rate of 6 percent, a YTM of 8 percent, and also has 12 years to maturity. Both bonds have a par value of $1,000. What is the price of each bond today? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Price of Miller bond $ 1169.36 Price of Modigliani bond $ 847.53 If interest rates remain unchanged, what do you expect the price of these bonds to be 1 year from now? In 3 years? In 7 years? In 11 years? In 12 years?
Answer:
Miller-bond:
today: $ 1,167.68
after 1-year: $ 1,157.74
after 3 year: $ 1,136.03
after 7-year: $ 1,084.25
after 11-year: $ 1,018.87
at maturity: $ 1,000.00
Modigliani-bond:
today: $ 847.53
after 1-year: $ 855.49
after 3 year: $ 873.41
after 7-year: $ 918.89
after 11-year: $ 981.14
at maturity: $ 1,000.00
Explanation:
We need to solve for the present value of the coupon payment and maturity of each bonds:
Miller:
[tex]C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\[/tex]
C 80.000
time 12
rate 0.06
[tex]80 \times \frac{1-(1+0.06)^{-12} }{0.06} = PV\\[/tex]
PV $670.7075
[tex]\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]
Maturity 1,000.00
time 12.00
rate 0.06
[tex]\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.06)^{12} } = PV[/tex]
PV 496.97
PV c $670.7075
PV m $496.9694
Total $1,167.6769
In few years ahead we can capitalize the bod and subtract the coupon payment
after a year:
1.167.669 x (1.06) - 80 = $1,157.7375
after three-year:
1,157.74 x 1.06^2 - 80*1.06 - 80 = 1136.033855
If we are far away then, it is better to re do the main formula
after 7-years:
[tex]C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\[/tex]
C 80.000
time 5
rate 0.06
[tex]80 \times \frac{1-(1+0.06)^{-5} }{0.06} = PV\\[/tex]
PV $336.9891
[tex]\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]
Maturity 1,000.00
time 5.00
rate 0.06
[tex]\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.06)^{5} } = PV[/tex]
PV $747.26
PV c $336.9891
PV m $747.2582
Total $1,084.2473
1 year before maturity:
last coupon payment + maturity
1,080 /1.06 = 1.018,8679 = 1,018.87
For the Modigliani bond, we repeat the same procedure.
PV
[tex]C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\[/tex]
C 30.000
time 24
rate 0.04
[tex]30 \times \frac{1-(1+0.04)^{-24} }{0.04} = PV\\[/tex]
PV $457.4089
[tex]\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]
Maturity 1,000.00
time 24.00
rate 0.04
[tex]\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.04)^{24} } = PV[/tex]
PV 390.12
PV c $457.4089
PV m $390.1215
Total $847.5304
And we repeat the procedure for other years

Vista Vacuum Company has the following production information for the month of March. All materials are added at the beginning of the manufacturing process. Units Beginning inventory of 3,300 units that are 100 percent complete for materials and 30 percent complete for conversion. 15,100 units started during the period. Ending inventory of 3,300 units that are 11 percent complete for conversion. Manufacturing Costs Beginning inventory was $20,100 ($10,500 materials and $9,600 conversion costs). Costs added during the month were $30,400 for materials and $48,500 for conversion ($27,100 labor and $21,400 applied overhead). Assume the company uses Weighted-Average Method. Required: 1. Calculate the number of equivalent units of production for materials and conversion for March. 2. Calculate the cost per equivalent unit for materials and conversion for March. 3. Determine the costs to be assigned to the units transferred out and the units still in process.
Answer:
1. Calculate the number of equivalent units of production for materials and conversion for March.
EUP for materials:
units completed + ending WIP = 15,100 + 3,300 = 18,500
EUP for conversion costs:
units completed + ending WIP = 15,100 + (3,300 x 11%) = 15,136.3
2. Calculate the cost per equivalent unit for materials and conversion for March.
total cost of materials = $10,500 + $30,400 = $40,900
total conversion costs = $9,600 + $48,500 = $58,100
cost per EUP for materials = $40,900 / 18,500 = $2.2108 per EUP
cost per EUP for conversion costs = $58,100 / 15,136.3 = $3.8385 per EUP
3. Determine the costs to be assigned to the units transferred out and the units still in process.
cost of transferred out units = 15,100 x ($2.2108 + $3.8385) = $91,344.43
cost of WIP = ($40,900 + $58,100) - $91,344.43 = $7,655.57
