Answer: c. small changes in economic growth rate lead to large GDP changes over time.
Explanation:
If there is even a small change in the rate at which the economy is growing, this increase will increase by even more the year afterward and then even more as time goes on. This is because the interest is being compounded overtime.
Look at the future value formula that shows compounding for instance:
Future value = Amount * (1 + rate) ^ number of periods
Assume even a change of 2% in the growth rate. In 30 years, this rate would have increased the economy by:
= 1 * ( 1 + 2%)³⁰
= 1.81
Which is a rate of:
= 1.81 - 1
= 81%
What started off as only 2% became 81% in 30 years. This is what compounding does.

For a certain item, the cost-minimizing order quantity obtained with the basic EOQ model is 350 units, and the total annual inventory (holding and order) cost is $1050. What is the inventory holding cost per unit per year for this item
Answer: $3 per unit per year
Explanation:
Inventory holding cost per unit for this item is:
= Total Annual inventory carrying cost / Average inventory
Total Annual inventory carrying cost = Total annual inventory / 2
= 1,050 / 2
= $525
Average inventory = EOQ / 2
= 350 / 2
= 175 units
Inventory holding cost per unit = 525 / 175
= $3 per unit

Actual fixed overhead $305,000
BFOH $300,000
Actual production in units 16,000
Standard hours allowed for actual units produced (SH) 64,000
Required:
a. Calculate the fixed overhead spending and volume variances.
b. Calculate the fixed overhead spending variance.
c. Calculate the total fixed overhead variance.
Answer:
a. Fixed overhead spending variance:
= Actual fixed overhead - Budgeted Flexible overhead
= 305,000 - 300,000
= $5,000 Unfavorable
Fixed overhead volume variance:
= (Standard fixed overhead rate (SFOR) per direct labor hour * Standard hours allowed for actual units produced ) - Budgeted Flexible overhead
= (5 * 64,000) - 300,000
= $20,000 favorable
b. Fixed overhead spending variance:
= Actual fixed overhead - Budgeted Flexible overhead
= 305,000 - 300,000
=$5,000 Unfavorable
c. Fixed overhead variance:
= (Standard fixed overhead rate (SFOR) per direct labor hour * Standard hours allowed for actual units produced ) - Actual fixed overhead
= (5 * 64,000) - 305,000
= $15,000 favorable

Explanation:
Schweser Satellites Inc. produces satellite earth stations that sell for $95,000 each. The firm's fixed costs, F, are $2.5 million, 50 earth stations are produced and sold each year, profits total $500,000, and the firm's assets (all equity financed) are $4 million. The firm estimates that it can change its production process, adding $4.5 million to assets and $380,000 to fixed operating costs. This change will reduce variable costs per unit by $12,000 and increase output by 15 units. However, the sales price on all units must be lowered to $88,000 to permit sales of the additional output. The firm has tax loss carryforwards that render its tax rate zero, its cost of equity is 16%, and it uses no debt. What is the incremental profit
Answer:
Schweser Satellites Inc.
The incremental profit is:
= $845,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Selling price of Satellite Earth Station = $95,000 each
Total sales revenue = $4,750,000 ($95,000 * 50)
Fixed costs, F = $2.5 million
Annual production and sales units = 50 units
Total profits = $500,000
Total contribution = $3 million ($2.5 m + $500,000)
Variable costs = $1,750,000 ($4,750,000 - $3,00,000)
Variable cost per unit = $35,000 ($1,750,000/50)
Assets = $4 million
Equity = $4 million
Additional assets = 4.5 million
Additional fixed operating costs = $380,000
New assets = 8.5 million
Fixed operating costs = $2.88 million
Variable cost reduction per unit = $12,000
New variable cost per unit = $23,000 ($35,000 - $12,000)
Production and sales units = 65 (50 + 15)
New selling price per unit = $88,000
Cost of equity = 16%
Tax rate = 0%
Profit under new arrangements:
Contribution per unit = $65,000 ($88,000 - $23,000)
Total contribution margin = $4,225,000 ($65,000 * 65)
Fixed operating costs = $2,880,000
Net operating profit $1,345,000
Incremental profit = $845,000 ($1,345,000 - $500,000)
A company changes from the straight-line method to an accelerated method of calculating depreciation, which will be similar to the method used for tax purposes. The entry to record this change will include a
Answer: c. credit to Accumulated Depreciation.
Explanation:
When using the accelerated method of depreciation, depreciation amounts are higher in the earlier years unlike the straight-line method where depreciation is constant throughout the life of the asset.
The difference between the depreciation according to Straight-line and depreciation will be sent to the accumulated depreciation account as a credit to reflect the change and the depreciation for the period.

A company has long-lived tangible assets with a cost of $3.5 million; its Accumulated Depreciation account has a balance of $1.1 million. Which of the following statements is correct?
A. The book value of long-lived assets is $2.4 million.
B. The market value of long-lived assets is $3.5 million.
C. The carrying value of long-lived assets is $3.5 million.
D. The resale value of long-lived assets is $2.4 million
Answer:
A. The book value of long-lived assets is $2.4 million.
Explanation:
Given data :
The cost of the long-lived tangible assets = $ 3.5 million
Amount of depreciation account = $ 1.1 million
Therefore, the book value of the long lived asset is defined as the cost of the asset minus the accumulated depreciation.
i.e., Book value = 3.5 - 1.1
= $ 2.5 million
Thus the correct option is option (A).
When interest is compounded continuously, the amount of money increases at a rate proportional to the amount S present at time t, that is, dS/dt=rS, where r is the annual rate of interest.
a) Find the amount of money accrued at the end of 5 years when $6000 is deposited in a savings account drawing 534% annual interest compounded continuously. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
b) In how many years will the initial sum deposited have doubled? (Round your answer to the nearest year.)
c) Use a calculator to compare the amount obtained in part a) with the amount S=6000(1+14(0.0575))5(4) that is accrued when interest is compounded quarterly. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
Given that;
A = P(1 + r/n)^nt
Where;
P= $6000
r = 5 3/4%
t = 5 years
n= 1
A = 6000(1 + 0.0575)^5
A= $ 7935
b) What time will A become $12,000
12000 = 6000(1 + 0.0575)^t
12000/6000 = (1 + 0.0575)^t
2 = (1 + 0.0575)^t
Take logarithm of both sides
log2 = t log(1 + 0.0575)
t= log2/log(1 + 0.0575)
t= 0.3010/0.0243
t = 12 years
c) when compounded quarterly;
S= 6000(1 + 1/4(0.0575))^(5)(4)
S= $7982
The amount when interest is compounded quarterly is higher than when it is compounded annually because the interest increases as the number of compounding periods increases.
How much increase in net worth (equity) would a market basis balance sheet show over a cost basis if Land was purchased for $1,000,000, is currently valued at $5,500,000 and capital gains taxes are 10%
Answer: $4,050,000
Explanation:
Increase in net worth shows the after tax gain that the person got after the land in question increased in value.
= (Current value - Purchase price) * ( 1 - tax rate)
= (5,500,000 - 1,000,000) * (1 - 10%)
= 4,500,000 * 0.90
= $4,050,000
You purchased an automobile a year ago for $10,000. Its current market price is $6,000, and the expected market value one year from now is $4,000. If the interest rate is 10 percent, how much will it cost you to keep the car for an additional year (over and above operation and maintenance costs)
Answer: $2600
Explanation:
From the information given, the cost price of the automobile is $10000 but the current market price is $6000. If the automobile is old now for $6000 and the money is kept in a bank for.one year at an interest rate of 10%, then the interest gotten on it will be:
= $6000 × 10% × 1
= $600
In a situation whereby the automobile is sold the following year, then the price will be $4,000 and I will get $4,000. Therefore, the cost for keeping the car for an additional year will then be:
= (Current price - Future price) + Interest amount
= ($6,000 - $4,000) + $600
= $2,600.
A machine costing $56,894 with a 6-year life and $51,236 depreciable cost was purchased January 1. Compute the yearly depreciation expense using straight-line depreciation. Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.
Answer:
$8539
Explanation:
Depreciation is a method of expensing the cost of an asset.
Yearly deprecation expense =depreciable cost / useful life
depreciable cost = cost of the machine - salvage value
51,236 / 6 = $8539.33
8539
To round off to the nearest dollar, look at the first number after the decimal, if it is less than 5, add zero to the units term, If it is equal or greater than 5, add 1 to the units term.

Radison Enterprises sells a product for $114 per unit. The variable cost is $63 per unit, while fixed costs are $741,285. Determine (a) the break-even point in sales units and (b) the break-even point if the selling price were increased to $120 per unit. a. Break-even point in sales units fill in the blank 1 units b. Break-even point if the selling price were increased to $120 per unit
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $114
Unitary variable cost= $63
Fixed costs= $741,285
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 741,285 / (114 - 63)
Break-even point in units= 14,535
Now, the break-even point if the selling price is $120:
Break-even point in units= 741,285 / (120 - 63)
Break-even point in units= 13,005
Alieia Boat Company manufactures 10 luxury yachts per month. A navigation system is included in each yacht. Alieia Boat manufactures the navigation system in-house but is considering the possibility of outsourcing this function. At present, the variable cost per unit is $300, and the fixed costs are $38,000 per month. If it outsources the security system, fixed costs could be reduced by half, and the vacant facilities could be rented out to earn $3000 per month of rental income. What is the maximum contract cost that Alieia should pay for outsourcing?
a) any cost lower than $2500 per unit
b) any cost lower than $2200 per unit
c) any cost lower than $300 per unit
d) any cost lower than $3800 per unit
Answer:
a) any cost lower than $2500 per unit
Explanation:
total avoidable costs = ($300 * 10) + ($38,000 / 2) + $3,000 = $25,000
total number of navigation systems prodcued per month = 10
avoidable cost per navigation system = $25,000 / 10 = $2,500
this means that th e comapny could pay up to $2,500 per navigtion system provided by an extrenal supplier

The sales Price formula is given as
= Cost price × (1 +r)³
1080000 = 1660000 × (1+r)³
1,080,000/1,660,000 = (1+r)³
0.65 = (1 + r)³
Annual rate of return r will now be:
= 0.6506^⅓ - 1
= -13.35%
