Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
a) Find the price supply equation. b) Find the price demand equation. c) Find the equilibrium price and quantity.
Solution:
a) A linear equation is in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope, y is a dependent variable, x is an independent variable, b is value of y at x = 0.
Let p represent the price and q represent the quantity. Hence we have the points (306, 0.31), (546, 0.79)
Using the formula:
[tex]p-p_1=\frac{p_2-p_1}{q_2-q_1}(q-q_1)\\ \\p-0.31=\frac{0.79-0.31}{546-306} (q-306)\\\\p=0.002q-0.302[/tex]
b) Let p represent the price and q represent the demand. Hence we have the points (459, 0.31), (439, 0.79)
Using the formula:
[tex]p-p_1=\frac{p_2-p_1}{q_2-q_1}(q-q_1)\\ \\p-0.31=\frac{0.79-0.31}{439-459} (q-459)\\\\p=-0.024q+11.326[/tex]
c) At equilibrium, price supply equation = price supply equation
0.002q - 0.302 = -0.024q + 11.326
0.002q + 0.024q = 11.326 + 0.302
0.026q = 11.628
q = 447.23 bushels
p = 0.002q - 0.302 = 0.002(447.23) - 0.302
p = $1.2

A customer hands you $3,850 in cash and would like to purchase 14 prepaid cards of
$275 each. The customer hands you the cash with an expired ID, and is expecting you to
process the transaction.
You must decline the transaction for the following reasons: (Select all that apply)
A customer may not purchase more than $2,000 in prepaid cards within a 24-hour period.
We do not sell prepaid cards.
The POS will prompt for customer ID for all prepaid card purchases.
Customer ID must be a valid (not expired) government issued photo ID (US or Canadian
issued driver's license, state ID, passport; US military ID, US Territory ID)
The customer appears to be purchasing prepaid cards just below the threshold where an ID
would be needed.
The customer is attempting to purchase more than the allowable number of gift cards in a
single transaction.
Answer:
You must decline the transaction for the following reasons:
A customer may not purchase more than $2,000 in prepaid cards within a 24-hour period.
Customer ID must be a valid (not expired) government issued photo ID (US or Canadian issued driver's license, state ID, passport; US military ID, US Territory ID)
Customers may not purchase more than $250 at the assisted check out (ACO).
Explanation:
A customer may not purchase more than $2,000 worth of prepaid products in one business day.
POS will prompt cashiers for an ID at $300:
POS will prompt cashiers to scan or manually enter a valid ID for purchases at $300.
Customers may not purchase more than 10 prepaid cards in one day.
Customers may not purchase more than $250 at the assisted check out (ACO).
Managing our prepaid card limits on a daily basis is run, similar to our money order process. The 2,000 daily limits for prepaid/gift cards is accomplished through a partnership with APPRISS.
Note :
The POS Register does not allow a single transaction over $2,000 to ensure CVS/pharmacy is in compliance with federal regulations.
Breaking up transactions to allow the purchase of more than $2,000
in prepaid products to one customer, couple or group is strictly against CVS/pharmacy policy and may result in disciplinary action up to, and including, termination of employment.
Alice and Bob entered into a forward contract some time ago. Alice has the long position, while Bob has the short position. The forward contract will mature in three months and has a delivery price of $40. The current forward price for the contract is $42. The three-month risk-free interest rate (with continuous compounding) is 8%. What is the value Bob's position?
Answer:
$ - 1.96
Explanation:
After three months, Alice (long the contract) can buy the underlying by paying the delivery price of $40 which is $2 less than $42 the long position would have to pay if the contract was entered today.
DATA
Delivery price = $40
The three-month risk-free interest rate (with continuous compounding) =8%.
The current forward price = $42
Solution
So based on the present situation, Alice would be in $2 profit at the end of 3 months and Bob would be in $2 loss
Present value of Bob's loss (with continuous compounding) = 2\times e^{-0.08\times 0.25}
Present value of Bob's loss (with continuous compounding) = $1.96
The value of Bob's position is $ - 1.96
When all of a firm's inputs are doubled, input prices do not change, and this results in the firm's level of production more than doubling, a firm is operating:
Answer: (B) on the downward-sloping portion of its long-run average total cost curve.
Explanation:
The downward-sloping portion of a company's Long Run Average Total Cost(LRATC) curve is the part where increasing returns to scale is witnessed.
This is because the costs that are incurred by the company leads to higher proportional output thereby reducing the average cost and pulling the LRATC down.
In this scenario, the inputs doubled and the firm's level of production more than doubled which means that with outputs increasing more than costs, the Average cost is reducing and the slope is downward sloping.

ANSWER AND EXPLANATION:
A). In consideration for her one-half interest in their personal residence, Kirby will transfer to Nell stock with a value of $200,000 and $50,000 of cash. Kirby's cost of the stock was $150,000, and the value of the personal residence is $500,000. They purchased the residence three years ago for $300,000.
ANSWER:
a) The transfer of the property is a __non negotiatiable___event.
b) Nell's basis for the stock is $150,000
c) Kirby's basis in the house is $300,000
Hints;
✓ From the question, it was stated at the onset of their agreement that ""Nell and Kirby are in the process of negotiating their divorce agreement". Hence it is a non negotiatiable event.
✓ from the question as well, Nell assumes ""Kirby's basis in the stock of $150,000, and Kirby's basis in
the house is $300,000." Hence, the basis for Nell and Kirby are $150,000 and $300,000 respectively.

The payments (qualify, do not qualify) as alimony and are (included in, excluded from) Nell's gross income as they are received.
ANSWER: The payments "Do NOT QUALIFY""as alimony and are "EXCLUDED FROM""Nell's gross income as they are received.
HINTS: As the payment is been received, it cannot be recorded as the Nell's gross profit ,and cannot be counted as alimony, reason behind this is that even if Nell should die,the payment continues.
Note that, alimony can be regarded as the payment that are to be paid from one of the couple to the other after divorce as part of finance support, usually ordered by court of law.
C). Nell is to have custody of their 12-year-old son, Bobby. She is to receive $1,200 per month until Bobby (1) dies or (2) attains age 21 (whichever occurs first). After either of these events occurs, Nell will receive only $300 per month for the remainder of her life.
$ X per month is alimony that is (included in, excluded from) Nell's gross income, and the remaining $ X per month is considered(child support, property settlement) and is (nontaxable, taxable) to Nell.
ANSWER: "$300 per month" is alimony that is" INCLUDED IN"" Nell's gross income, and the remaining $900 per month is considered "CHILD SUPPORT"child and is "NON TAXABLE to Nell.
HINTS:it was stated that Nell should receive $1200 monthly for Bobby's child support as well as alimony, out of this $900 goes for child support and $300 for alimony, provided that all the stated Condition stated in the question is followed duely.
A common step in the testing for accounts payable is to test subsequent disbursements for improper/proper inclusion/exclusion in year-end accounts payable CONCEPT REVIEW A common way to test accounts payable is to examine the check register after period end and make selections for testing. Items are selected and then examined for detail. A determination is then made to conclude whether the amount should have been a liability as of year-end and, if so, if it was recorded as such
1. When searching for unrecorded liabilities, the auditors consider transactions recorded__________year end.
2. Accounts payable __________can be mailed to vendors from whom substantial purchases have been made.
3. To gain overall assurance as to the reasonableness of accounts payable, the auditor may consider _________.
4. When auditors find unrecorded liabilities, before adjusting they must consider __________.
5 Auditiors need to consider_______ terms for determining ownership and whether a liability should be recorded.
Answer:
1. When searching for unrecorded liabilities, the auditors consider transactions recorded after year end.
Auditors consider transactions recorded after year end to determine if it was supposed to be recorded in the current period.
2. Accounts payable confirmation can be mailed to vendors from whom substantial purchases have been made.
As a way to keep a document trail, creditors from whom substantial goods were bought from can be mailed a confirmation.
3. To gain overall assurance as to the reasonableness of accounts payable, the auditor may consider ratios.
Ratios such as the Payables turnover can be used to evaluate the reasonableness of Accounts payable.
4. When auditors find unrecorded liabilities, before adjusting they must consider materiality.
They must consider if the adjustment is material or significant enough to record.
5 Auditiors need to consider shipping terms terms for determining ownership and whether a liability should be recorded.
Shipping terms need to be considered because they can tell who owns goods in transit and therefore if a liability is needed for them. Shipping terms such as FOB Shipping point mean that the business incurs the liability as soon as the seller ships the goods.
Suppose you receive at the end of each year for the next three years. a. If the interest rate is , what is the present value of these cash flows? b. What is the future value in three years of the present value you computed in (a)? c. Suppose you deposit the cash flows in a bank account that pays interest per year. What is the balance in the account at the end of each of the next three years (after your deposit is made)? How does the final bank balance compare with your answer in (b)?
Answer:
the question is missing the numbers, so I looked for a similar question:
Suppose you receive $100 at the end of each year for the next three years. a. If the interest rate is 8%, what is the present value of these cash flows? (Answer: $257) b. What is the future value in three years of the present value you computed in (a)? (Answer: $324.61) c. Suppose you deposit the cash flows in a bank account that pays 8% interest per year. What is the balance in the account at the end of each of the next three years (after your deposit is made)? How does the final bank balance compare with your answer in (b)?
a) PV = $100/1.08 + $100/1.08² + $100/1.08³ = $257.71
b) FV = $257.71 x (1 + 8%)³ = $324.64
c) FV = ($100 x 1.08²) + ($100 x 1.08) + $100 = $324.64
it is exactly the same as the answer for (b)

A check register shows a balance of $152.34. The bank statement shows that a check for $75.00 deposited by the account owner was drawn against insufficient funds and was returned. A charge for $2.00 was also deducted by the bank because of the return. Compute the adjusted cash balance of the check register.
Answer:
$150.34
Explanation:
The $75 check has been drawn against insufficient funds and has been returned so this check won't be included in the adjusted cash balance of the check register.
A charge for $2.0 will be deducted from the balance shown by the cash register above to calculate the adjusted cash balance of the check register.
Adjusted cash balance of the check register = $152.34 - $2
Adjusted cash balance of the check register = $150.34
Adelberg Corporation makes two products: Product A and Product B. Annual production and sales are 1,500 units of Product A and 1,500 units of Product B. The company has traditionally used direct labor-hours as the basis for applying all manufacturing overhead to products. Product A requires 0.4 direct labor-hours per unit and Product B requires 0.2 direct labor-hours per unit. The total estimated overhead for next period is $87,630. The company is considering switching to an activity-based costing system for the purpose of computing unit product costs for external reports. The new activity-based costing system would have three overhead activity cost pools--Activity 1, Activity 2, and General Factory--with estimated overhead costs and expected activity as follows:
Expected Activity
Activity Cost Pool Estimated Overhead Costs Product A Product B Total
Activity 1 $ 41,400 1,000 500 1,500
Activity 2 15,720 800 400 1,200
General Factory 30,510 600 300 900
Total $ 87,630
(Note: The General Factory activity cost pool's costs are allocated on the basis of direct labor-hours.)
The overhead cost per unit of Product B under the activity-based costing system is closest to:_________
a. $42.90
b. $9.10
c. $21.30
d. $63.92
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate for each activity:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Activity 1= 41,400/1,500= $27.6 per unit of activity
Activity 2= 15,720/1,200= $13.1 per unit of activity
General Factory= 30,510/900= $33.9 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead to product B:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Activity 1= 27.6*500= $13,800
Activity 2= 13.1*400= $5,240
General Factory= 33.9*300= $10,170
Total allocated overhead= $29,210
Unitary allocated overhead= 29,210/1,500= $19.47

It is important that marketers be able to identify which strategy a competitor is using so that they better understand how to position their own products and services. You will see a list of recent or potential strategic decisions made by large firms, and your job is to identify which type of strategy was used in each example.
While there are a variety of strategies across industries, most fall under four basic categories.
1. Market penetration strategies emphasize selling more existing products and services to existing customers.
2. Product development strategies involve creating new goods or services for existing markets.
3. Market development strategies focus on selling existing products or services to new customers. The targeted new customers could be a different gender, age group, or international market.
4. Finally, diversification strategies involve offering new products that are unrelated to the existing products produced by the organization.

Mcmurtry Corporation sells a product for $250 per unit. The product's current sales are 13,600 units and its break-even sales are 10,608 units. The margin of safety as a percentage of sales is closest to:
Answer:
22%
Explanation:
Margin of Safety is the amount by which sales can fall before making a loss.
Margin of Safety = Expected Sales - Break-even Sales ÷ Expected Sales
= (13,600 - 10,608) ÷ 13,600
= 0.22 or 22%
A Corporation has two divisions: the South Division and the West Division. The corporation's net operating income is $26,900. The South Division's divisional segment margin is $42,800 and the West Division's divisional segment margin is $29,900. What is the amount of the common fixed expense not traceable to the individual divisions
Answer:
$45,800
Explanation:
Common fixed expense not traceable to the individual divisions = South division's divisional segment margin + west division's divisional segment - corporation's net operating income
Common fixed expense not traceable to the individual divisions = $42,800 + $29,900 - $26,900
Common fixed expense not traceable to the individual divisions = $45,800
Assume the bonds below have the same term and principal and that the state or local government that issues the municipal bond has a good credit rating. Which list has bonds correctly ordered from the one that pays the highest interest rate to the one that pays the lowest interest rate
Answer:
b. corporate bond, U.S. government bond, municipal bond
Explanation:
If we assume that the bonds have the similar time period and the principal amount so the bond that pays the highest interest to the bond that pays the lowest interest rate is described below:
The ranking can be done
Corporate bond - highest interest rates
Municipal bonds - lowest interest rates
The same is to be considered
Therefore the option b is correct
You are invested in two hedge funds. The probability that hedge fund Alpha generates positive returns in any given year is 60%. The probability that hedge fund Omega generates positive returns in any given year is 70%. Assume the returns are independent. What is the probability that both funds generate positive returns in a given year? What is the probability that both funds lose money?
Answer:
42% and 12%
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
For Alpha Fund
Positive return = 60%
Lose money is
= 1 - 0.60
= 40%
For Omega Fund
Positive return = 70%
Lose money is
= 1 - 0.70
= 0.30
Also the returns are non-dependent
Now the positive return is
= 60% × 70
= 42%
And, the probability of lose money is
= 40% × 30%
= 12%
Last month Empire Company had a $35,280 profit on sales of $287,000. Fixed costs are $68,040 a month. By how much would sales be able to decrease for Empire to still break even
Answer:
sales might decrease by $287,000 - $189,000 = $98,000 and the company will still break even
Explanation:
gross profit = net income + fixed costs = $35,280 + $68,040 = $103,320
COGS = total sales - gross profit = $287,000 - $103,320 = $183,680
contribution margin ratio = $103,320 / $287,000 = 36%
break even point in $ = $68,040 / 36% = $189,000
sales might decrease by $287,000 - $189,000 = $98,000 and the company will still break even

Full question attached
Answer and Explanation:
Answer and explanation attached
SY Manufacturers (SYM) is producing T-shirts in three colors: red, blue, and white. The monthly demand for each color is 3,487 units. Each shirt requires 0.75 pound of raw cotton that is imported from the Luft-Geshfet-Textile (LGT) Company in Brazil. The purchasing price per pound is $1.55 (paid only when the cotton arrives at SYM's facilities) and transportation cost by sea is $0.70 per pound. The traveling time from LGT’s facility in Brazil to the SYM facility in the United States is two weeks. The cost of placing a cotton order, by SYM, is $186 and the annual interest rate that SYM is facing is 32 percent of total cost per pound.
a. What is the optimal order quantity of cotton? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
Optimal order quantity pounds
b. How frequently should the company order cotton? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Company orders once every months
c. Assuming that the first order is needed on 1-Jul, when should SYM place the order?
17-Jun
1-Jul
15-Jul
d. How many orders will SYM place during the next year? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Number of orders times
e. What is the resulting annual holding cost? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
Annual holding cost $ per year
f. What is the resulting annual ordering cost?
Annual ordering cost $
g. If the annual interest cost is only 5 percent, how will it affect the annual number of orders, the optimal batch size, and the average inventory?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. The optimal order quantity can be calculated as:
= √2DS/H
where
D = 3 × 12 × 3487 × 0. 75
= 94149
Total cost incurred during purchase
= $1.55 + $0.70
= $2.25
Setup cost (S) = $186
Holding cost
= 32% × $2.25
= 0.32 × $2.25
= $0.72
Optimal order quantity
= √(2 × 94149 × 186)/0.72
= 6974.50
b. This will be calculated as:
Annual demand / EOQ
= 94149/6974.50
= 13.50
The company should order cotton 13.5 times per year.
c. Since the first order is needed on 1-July and lead time is 2 weeks, SYM should place the order before 17th June.
d. This will be:
= Annual demand / EOQ
= 94149/6974.50
= 13.5 orders
e. The resulting annual holding cost will be:
= 0.72 × (6974.50/2)
= 0.72 × 3487.25
= $2510.82
f. The resulting annual ordering will be:
= 94149/6974.50 × $186
= 13.5 × $186
= $2511
