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.

Hame and explain
of skills that should be possess by an entrepreneur
Answer:
1. Curiosity. Great entrepreneurs are tasked with identifying new problems, identifying potential niche opportunities, refactoring their existing business processes, and innovating. This necessitates a passion for various fields of study and business cases that are outside of one's comfort zone.
2. Time management. Prioritization, milestone definition, execution, and iteration are all critical. None of this would be possible without the proper project management and time allocation methodologies in place to complete the work.
3. Strategic thinking. Learning to break down a problem to its simplest components and identify growth opportunities. Inventive problem-solving and spotting the low-hanging fruit. Defining an MVP's scope and testing concepts in a short amount of time and on a tight budget.
AbbVie Pharmaceuticals (headquartered in Lake Forest, IL) has commenced a $80 million R&D project to develop a new drug to treat a rare disease. So far, it has spent $25 million of the $80 million, and preliminary results are positive. If the remaining $55 million is invested, the drug will certainly be completed and is expected to generate profit1 of $100 million (in present value) for AbbVie. Meanwhile, a research biologist at Northwestern has independently developed a treatment for the same disease. The scientist has offered to sell her invention to AbbVie for $2 million. Her drug would be just as effective as AbbVie’s drug, and would also generate profit of $18 million in present value.
Required:
a. Should AbbVie buy the drug for $2 million?
b. What is the most AbbVie should be willing to pay for the Illinois Tech researcher’s drug?
c. How would your answer change if the Illinois Tech biologist had developed her drug two years ago, before AbbVie started its own R&D project?
d. Suppose that Merck has also expressed interest in the biologist’s invention. If Merck buys the drug, there is a 50% chance that it will beat AbbVie’s drug to market. If that happens, suppose the profit of the second drug to market is zero. Now how much should AbbVie be willing to pay for the drug? How much should Merck be willing to pay?
Question Completion:
AbbVie Pharmaceuticals (headquartered in Lake Forest, IL) has commenced a $10 million R&D project to develop a new drug to treat a rare disease. So far, it has spent $6 million of the $10 million, and preliminary results are positive. If the additional $4 million is invested, the drug will certainly be completed and is expected to generate profit of $18 million in present value for AbbVie. Meanwhile, a research biologist at Illinois Tech has independently developed a treatment for the same disease. The scientist has offered to sell her invention to AbbVie for $2 million. Her drug would be just as effective as AbbVie’s drug, and would also generate profit of $18 million in present value.
Answer:
AbbVie Pharmaceuticals
a. AbbVie should buy the drug for $2 million.
b. The most AbbVie should be willing to pay for the Illinois Tech researcher's drug is $4 million. Luckily, this much is not demanded by the researcher.
c. If the Illinois Tech biologist had developed her drug two years ago, before AbbVie started its own R&D project, AbbVie could have paid an amount ranging from $2 million to $10 million.
d. Before Merck buys the drug, AbbVie should be willing to pay $2 million without further delays.
e. Merck should be willing to pay as much as $4 million.
Explanation:
a) Note that the introduction to the question was flawed. The mathematics do not add up. For this reason, I have worked with the more properly formulated question as shown in the Question Completion above.
b) Data and Calculations:
Projected cost of R&D = $10 million
Amount of the R&D cost spent already = $6 million
Remaining R&D cost to be spent = $4 million
Expected profit = $18 million
Cost of the offer by the research biologist = $2 million
Expected profit from the biologist's drug = $18 million
c) The conclusions above were reached because all the amounts are stated in present value terms.

Farmer Brown grows Number 1 red corn and would like to hedge the value of the coming harvest. However, the futures contract is traded on the Number 2 yellow grade of corn. Suppose that yellow corn typically sells for 90% of the price of red corn. If he grows 180,000 bushels, and each futures contract calls for delivery of 5,000 bushels, how many contracts should Farmer Brown buy or sell to hedge his position
Answer:
40 contracts
Explanation:
Calculation to determine how many contracts should Farmer Brown buy or sell to hedge his position
First step is to calculate how much The farmer must sell forward
Farmer must sell forward=180,000∗(1/0.90)
Farmer must sell forward= 200,000bushels of yellow corn.
Now let calculate the requires selling
Requires selling=200,000/ 5,000 bushels
Requires selling =40 contracts.
Therefore how many contracts should Farmer Brown buy or sell to hedge his position is 40 contracts.

Jamison Company has two service departments and two producing departments. Square footage of space occupied by each department follows: Custodial services 2,600 feet General administration 4,600 feet Producing Department A 9,600 feet Producing Department B 9,600 feet 26,400 feet The department costs of Custodial Services are allocated on a basis of square footage of space. If Custodial Services costs are budgeted at $54,000, the amount of cost allocated to General Administration under the direct method would be:
Answer:
$0
Explanation:
Under the direct method of cost allocation, each and every service department cost would be distributed to the producing department that depend upon the square footage of space. Also the service of service department would be used by the other service department would not be considered.
So here the custodial service cost would be distributed to the producing department A and producing department b and no cost would be distributed to the general admin department
Hence, the $0 would be allocated
Firm ML, a non-corporate taxpayer, exchanged residential rental property plus $15,000 cash for 20 acres of investment land with a $200,000 FMV. ML used the straight-line method to compute depreciation on the rental property.
a. Assuming that ML's exchange was negotiated at arm's length, what is the FMV of the rental property?
b. If the adjusted basis of the rental property is $158,000, compute ML's realized and recognized gain. What is the character of the recognized gain?
c. Compute ML's basis in the 20 acres of investment land.
Answer:
A) $215,000
B) realized gain = $57,000
recognized gain = $15,000
C) $158,000
Explanation:
cash exchanged with the rental property ( boot ) = $15,00
A) Assuming ML's exchange is done at arm's length
FMV of property = $200,000 + $15,000 = $215,000
B) Taking adjusted basis of rental property = $158,000
ML's realized gain = FMV of property at arm's length - adjusted basis
= $215000 - $158000 = $57,000
ML's recognized gain = $15,000
The character of the recognized gain is that it will be lower of the boot amount or realized gain and this is because no gain or loss is registered/recognized in the transaction ( exchange ) except with the boot received
C) Determine ML's basis in the 20 acres of investment land
= $158,000

Answer:
Baxter Company
Baxter Company
Income Statement
For the year ended December 31
Sales revenue $1,075,000
Cost of goods sold 755,252
Gross profit $319,748
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Normal production units = 9,000
Units sold at $125 per unit = 8,600
Ending inventory = 400
Sales revenue = $1,075,000 (8,600 * $125)
Standard: 5 yards per unit at $6.30 per yard
Standard: 2.25 hours per unit at $15.00
Standard: variable overhead $1.05 per unit
Standard: fixed overhead $211,500 (budgeted and actual amount)
Cost of production:
Direct materials (43,240 yards at $6.25 per yard) = $270,250
Direct labor (19,100 at $14.90 per hour) = 284,590
Total factory overhead incurred = 235,500
Total cost of production = $790,340
Units produced = 9,000
Cost per unit = $87.82
Cost of goods sold = 8,600 * $87.82 = $755,252
Cost of ending inventory = 400 * $87.82 = $35,128
Laura is an investor and a limited partner in a limited partnership. Two years after she becomes a limited partner, Laura thinks that the general partners are not doing a very good job managing the affairs of the limited partnership and participates in the management of the limited partnership. While she is participating in management, a bank loans $1 million to the limited partnership, believing that Laura is a general partner. If the limited partnership defaults on the $1 million loan, which of the following holds well?
A. Laura has unlimited personal liability as a limited partner.
B. Laura is personally liable as the bank, in good faith, thought she is a general partner.
C. Laura's liability is restricted to the value of her capital investment in the partnership.
D. Laura is not personally liable as she is a limited partner on paper.
Answer
Option B. Laura is personally liable as the bank, in good faith, thought she is a general partner
Explanation:
Limited Partnership (LP)
This is Business entity that exists in line with state statutes that gives limited liability to some of its members who called limited partners.
RULPA
This is simply called Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act. It is the model for Limited Partnership legislation in most states.
Limited Partner
This is a part or member of a limited partnership.it is that individual who is not involved in controlling the business and whose liability is limited to amount invested in the business.
General Partner
It is simply a member in a limited (or general) partnership who controls the business and has unlimited personal liability.
In the above scenario, Laura will be taken as a general partner and will be held personally accountable or liable for the loan, and also along with the general partners of the limited partnership.The rule of RULPA gives the right for a limited partner to be involved in the management of the partnership’s affairs and not losing the limited liability if the limited partner has been formally employed by the partnership to be an executive of the partnership.
Renaissance Creations restores antique stained glass windows. All jobs generate some breakage or improper cuts. This scrap can be sold to stained glass hobbyists. Renaissance Creations expects to incur approximately 45,000 direct labor hours during 2013. The following estimates are made in setting the predetermined overhead rate for 2013:
One job that Renaissance Creations completed during 2013 was a stained glass window of the Pierce family crest that took 125 hours, and direct labor is invoiced at $20 per hour. Total direct material cost for the job was $890. Scrap that was generated from this job was sold for $93.
a. What was the predetermined overhead rate (set on the basis of direct labor hours) for 2013?
b. What was the cost of the Pierce stained glass window?
c. Prepare the journal entry to record the sales value of the scrap from the Pierce stained glass window.
d. Assume instead that only certain jobs generate scrap. What was the cost of the Pierce stained glass window?
Answer:
hello your question has some missing information attached below is the missing information
answer :
a) $7
b) $4265
c) attached below
d) $4192
Explanation:
a) determine the predetermined overhead rate
= Total estimated overhead / estimated direct labor hour
Total estimated overhead = $315,000
estimated direct labor hour = 45,000
hence predetermined overhead rate = 315,000 / 45,000 = $7
b) calculate the cost of the Pierce stained glass window
Direct material cost = $890
number of labor hours = 125
direct labor cost = $20 per hour
predetermined overhead rate = $7
∴cost of glass window = [ ( 890 + ( 125 * 20 ) + ( 125 * 7 ) ] = $4265
c) Journal entry used to record sell of scrap
Account name
cash $93
manufacture overhead $93
d) assuming only some jobs generate scrap
first we will calculate the overhead rate per hour
= ( $297000 + $25200) / 45,000 = $7.16
∴ Total cost of pierce stained glass window
= [ (direct material cost + number of labor hours ) + number of labor hours ( predetermined overhead rate ) ] - $93
= $4285 - $93 = $4192

Break-even analysis can be used by a firm that produces more than one product, but:
a. the results are estimates, not exact values.
b. the firm must allocate some fixed cost to each of the products.
c. each product has its own break-even point.
d. the break-even point depends upon the proportion of sales generated by each of the products.
e. None of these statements is true.
Answer:
d. the break-even point depends upon the proportion of sales generated by each of the products.
Explanation:
Breakeven analysis is the method used to determine the number of units a firm must sell at a specific price to cover all costs. It is a concept that allow business owners or financial experts to determine and know what they need to sell either on a monthly or annual (yearly) basis, in order to be able to cover the costs of doing the business.
Basically, it helps us to determine the amount of revenue required for the smooth operation of a business, amount of money needed to cover both fixed and variable costs. Using the breakeven analysis, production costs can be categorized as;
1. Variable costs: these are costs that usually change with respect to changes in the level of production or output. Examples are direct labor, maintenance of equipment or machines, raw materials costs etc.
2. Fixed costs: these are the costs which are not directly related to the level of production or not affected by the quantity of output in an organization. Examples are rent, depreciation, administrative cost, research and development costs, marketing costs etc.
Break-even analysis can be used by a firm that produces more than one product, but the break-even point depends upon the proportion of sales generated by each of the products.
On November 15, 2018, X Corp., an accrual basis taxpayer, enters into a contract which will provide the corporation with the use of manufacturing equipment for the 5 year period beginning on December 1, 2018. X Corp. paid $100,000 for the 5-year period on December 1, 2018. How much, if any of the payment can X Corp. deduct in 2018
Answer: $20000
Explanation:
Since $100,000 is paid for the contract which will provide the use of manufacturing equipment for 5 years, the payment that can be deducted for each of the 5 years will be an equal payment.
Therefore, the payment that X Corp. can deduct in 2018 will be:
= $100,000 / 5
= $20000

On January 1, 2021, Peach Corporation issues $600,000, 5-year, 7% bonds at par. Interest is paid semiannually on January 1 and July 1. Peach Corporation uses the straight-line method of amortization. The company's fiscal year ends on December 31. Which of the following statements about the journal entry for these bonds on July 1, 2021 is TRUE?
a. The entry decreases assets and increases stockholder's equity
b. The entry increases expenses and increases assets.
c. The entry decreases net income and increases liabilities
d. The entry decreases assets and stockholder's equity
Answer:
The correct option is d. The entry decreases assets and stockholder's equity.
Explanation:
Since interest is paid semiannually on January 1 and July 1, that means cash has to be paid on July 1, 2021 as interest on bond.
Since cash is a current asset, that means the the payment of cash as intetest enxpen on July 1, 2021 will decrease asset.
Since the amount of interest expense on bond paid July 1, 2021 will reduce net income which is one of the elements of stockholder's equity, the entry will also therefore decrease the stockholder's equity.
Therefore, the correct option is d. The entry decreases assets and stockholder's equity.
Companies may use a special bank account solely for the purpose of paying employees, by depositing an amount equal to the total employees' net pay into the account each pay period and drawing the employees' payroll checks on the account. This account is a(n):_________
a) Payroll bank account.
b) Federal depository bank account.
c) Payroll register account.
d) Employee's Individual Earnings account.
e) Employees' bank account.
Answer:
A) Payroll bank account.
Explanation:
A payroll account can be regarded as
separate bank account that is been set up strictly for payroll. To avoid lumping all the expenses of the business in an account, the employee wages will be paid using the payroll bank account.
net wages of the employee will only be deposited in this account.It should be noted that Companies may use a special bank account solely for the purpose of paying employees, by depositing an amount equal to the total employees' net pay into the account each pay period and drawing the employees' payroll checks on the Payroll bank account.
A worker may prefer to be treated as an independent contractor (rather than an employee) for which of the following reasons:____________
a. Work-related expenses of an independent contractor are deductible for AGI.
b. All of the self-employment tax is deductible for income tax purposes.
c. A Schedule C does not have to be filed.
d. Avoids the overall limitation (50%) as to business meals.
e. None of these choices are correct.
Answer: a. Work-related expenses of an independent contractor are deductible for AGI.
Explanation:
Independent Contractors are allowed to deduct the expenses they incur while contracting, from the AGI (Annual Gross Income).
This therefore reduces the taxes that the contractors have to pay unlike with employees who will have to pay income tax and cannot deduct much from work.

Dividends declared and paid 4,660
Compute the following:
(a) Income from operations -
(b) Net income -
(c) Comprehensive income
(d) Retained earnings balance at December 31, 2020 -
Answer:
a. $131,880
b. $167,310
c. $156,050
d. $151,390
Explanation:
(a) Income from operations
Income from Operations is Income resulting from Primary Trading Activities of the Company.
Income from Operations = Gross Profit + Operating Income - Operating Expenses
where,
Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold
= $334,910 - $149,030
= $185,880
thus,
Income from Operations = $185,880 - $54,000 = $131,880
(b) Net income
Income resulting from Primary and Secondary Trading Activities of the the Company.
Net income = Income from Operations + Non Operating Income - Non Operating Expenses
= $131,880 + $32,710 + $9,080 - $6,360
= $167,310
(c) Comprehensive income
Income from both Continuing and Non - Continuing Activities.
Comprehensive income = Net income + Non - Continuing Activities
= $167,310 - $11,260
= $156,050
(d) Retained earnings balance at December 31, 2020
The Income remaining after distributions to shareholders have been made.
Retained earnings = Comprehensive income - Dividends
= $156,050 - $4,660
= $151,390

Explanation:
Comparative advantage in economics is the ability of an individual or country to produce a specific good or service at a lower opportunity cost better than another individual or country.
The comparative advantage gives a country a stronger sales margin than their competitors as they are able to sell their specific products or render their peculiar services at a lower opportunity cost.
Also, the principle of comparative advantage asserts that countries can become better off by specializing in what they do best.
This simply means that, any country applying the principle of comparative advantage, would enjoy an increase in output and consequently, a boost in their Gross Domestic Products (GDP).
Hence, comparative advantage in production is achieved by having a lower opportunity cost of producing a good relative to that of other countries.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2020, was $1,160,000. What should be Twin Rivers' 2020 earnings per common share, rounded to the nearest penny
Answer:
$3.03
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What should be Twin Rivers' 2020 earnings per common share,
Using this formula
Earnings per common share=
Net Income for 2020/Weighted Average Shares Outstanding
Let plug in the formula
Earnings per common share=$1,160,000/ [(350,000 x 8/12) + (450,000 × 4/12)]
Earnings per common share=$1,160,000/(233,333+150,000)
Earnings per common share=$1,160,000/383,333
Earnings per common share= $3.03
Therefore What should be Twin Rivers' 2020 earnings per common share is $3.03

Logistics Solutions provides order fulfillment services for dot merchants. The company maintains warehouses that stock items carried by its dot clients. When a client receives an order from a customer, the order is forwarded to Logistics Solutions, which pulls the item from storage, packs it, and ships it to the customer. The company uses a predetermined variable overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. In the most recent month, 190,000 items were shipped to customers using 8,300 direct labor-hours. The company incurred a total of $29,050 in variable overhead costs. According to the company’s standards, 0.03 direct labor-hours are required to fulfill an order for one item and the variable overhead rate is $3.55 per direct labor-hour. Required: 1. What is the standard labor-hours allowed (SH) to ship 190,000 items to customers? 2. What is the standard variable overhead cost allowed (SH × SR) to ship 190,000 items to customers? 3. What is the variable overhead spending variance? 4. What is the variable overhead rate variance and the variable overhead efficiency variance?
Answer:
1. Standard labor hour allowed 5,700 Hour
2. Standard variable overhead cost allowed $20,235
3. Variable overhead spending variance 8,815 U
4. Variable overhead rate variance 415 F
Variable overhead efficiency variance 9230 U
Explanation:
1. Calculation to determine the standard labor-hours allowed
Standard labor hour allowed = 190,000*.03
Standard labor hour allowed= 5,700 Hour
Therefore the Standard labor hour allowed is 5,700 Hour
2. Calculation to determine the standard variable overhead cost allowed
Using this formula
Standard variable overhead cost allowed=Standard quantity of labour hours allowed*Standard variable overhead rate
Let plug in the formula
Standard variable overhead cost allowed = 5,700*3.55
Standard variable overhead cost allowed = $20,235
Therefore the Standard variable overhead cost allowed is $20,235
3. Calculation to determine the variable overhead spending variance using this formula
Variable Overhead Spending Variance=Standard Cost- Actual Cost
Let plug in the formula
Variable overhead spending variance = 20,235-29,050
Variable overhead spending variance = 8,815 U
Therefore the Variable overhead spending variance is 8,815 U
4. Calculation to determine the variable overhead rate variance
Using this is formula
Variable overhead rate variance
=(Standard Rate*Actual Hour)-Actual cost
Let plug in the formula
Variable overhead rate variance = (3.55*8300-29050)
Variable overhead rate variance= 415 F
Therefore the variable overhead rate variance is 415 F
Calculation to determine variable overhead efficiency variance
Using this formula
Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance=
(Standard Hours - Actual Hours ) x Standard Rate
Let plug in the formula
Variable overhead efficiency variance = (5700-8300)*3.55
Variable overhead efficiency variance = 9230 U
Therefore the Variable overhead efficiency variance is 9230 U
I would like you to analyze our current pricing scheme on our Chevy Tahoe in the Southwest region and give me a recommendation on how we can maximize our revenue. I am interested in maximizing our revenue in order to be able to finance the upgrading of our dealership intranet. Our sales department has estimated the following semiannual demand Q = 25,000 - 1.25PTAH + 1.5PSEQ. Notice that we have included the impact that the Toyota Sequoia has on our Tahoe demand as it currently is our principal rival in the geographic region. We are currently charging $42,500 for our base Tahoe and we notice that Toyota is currently charging $50,000 for its base Sequoia. Let me know what price you would recommend to maximize our revenue as I am hoping there is room to bring our price point more in line with the Sequoia.
