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

During Year 2, SCS recognized $2,000,000 in revenue, included in the $10,000,000 total revenue estimate.Calculate the required amortization for Year 2 (Hint: calculate using both methods, choose the greater number)
Answer:
$180,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the required amortization for Year 2
(1)Using Percentage-of-revenue method
Percentage-of-revenue method=($2,000,000/$10,000,000)*$900,000
Percentage-of-revenue method= 20% *$900,000
Percentage-of-revenue method= $180,000
(2) Using Straight-line method
Straight-line method=$900,000 × 1/5 × 9/12
Straight-line method= $135,000
Therefore based on the above calculation the required amortization for Year 2 will be $180,000 using The percentage-of-revenue method reason been that the method help to produces higher amortization of the amount of $180,000.

Answer:
A. Return on equity 7.5%
B. Dividend yield 3.03%
C. Earnings per share $0.22
D. Price-earnings ratio 45
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine the Return on equity
First step is to calculate the Average stockholders equity using this formula
Average stockholders equity = ( Beginning stockholders equity + Ending stockholders equity)/2
Let plug in the formula
Average stockholders equity= (2,240+2000)/2
Average stockholders equity= $2,120 millions
Now let calculate the Return on equity using this formula
Return on equity=Net Income / Average stockholders equity
Let plug in the formula
Return on equity=159 / 2,120
Return on equity= 7.5%
B. Calculation to determine the Dividend yield
Using this formula
Dividend yield=Dividend per share / Stock price
Let plug in the formula
Dividend yield=0.30/ 9.90
Dividend yield= 3.03%
C. Calculation to determine the Earnings per share
Using this formula
Earnings per share=Net Income / Average shares outstanding
Let plug in the formula
Earnings per share=159/ 720
Earnings per share= $0.22
D. Calculation to determine Price-earnings ratio
Using this is formula
Price-earnings ratio=Stock price / Earnings per share
Let plug in the formula
Price-earnings ratio=9.90 / 0.22
Price-earnings ratio= 45

Management of Mittel Company would like to reduce the amount of time between when a customer places an order and when the order is shipped. For the first quarter of operations during the current year the following data were reported:
Inspection time 0.2 days
Wait time (from order to start of production) 17.0 days
Process time 3.1 days
Move time 0.9 days
Queue time 4.2 days
Required:
a. Compute the throughput time. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
b. Compute the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for the quarter.
c. What percentage of the throughput time was spent in non–value-added activities?
d. Compute the delivery cycle time.
e. If by using Lean Production all queue time during production is eliminated, what will be the new MCE?
Answer:1.
a)Through put time =8.4days
b)The manufacturing cycle efficiency =36.9%
c)percentage of the through put time spent on non–value-added activities =63.1%
d)Delivery time =25.4days
e) The New manufacturing cycle efficiency =73.8%
Explanation:
1. The through put time is given as
Process time + Inspection time + Move time+Queue time
Through put time=3.1 + 0.2 + 0.9 + 4.2
Through put time=8.4days
2. The manufacturing cycle efficiency
,is given as
Process ÷Through put time
manufacturing cycle efficiency
, =3.1/8.4=0.369=36.9%
3. The manufacturing cycle efficiency
, is 36.9%
Thus percentage of the throughput time spent in non–value-added activities is given as
1 - 36.9% = 63.1%
4.The delivery cycle time is calculated as
Wait time + through put time
Delivery cycle =17.0 + 8.4 = 25.4 days
5. The New manufacturing cycle efficiency is calculated as
Process ÷through put time
But the new through put time =8.4 -4.2=4.2
New manufacturing cycle efficiency =3.1 / 4.2 = 0.7380
=73.8%

Explanation:
Gilberto Company currently manufactures 90,000 units per year of one of its crucial parts. Variable costs are $3.20 per unit, fixed costs related to making this part are $100,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $87,000 per year. Allocated fixed costs are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys the part. Gilberto is considering buying the part from a supplier for a quoted price of $4.40 per unit guaranteed for a three-year period. Calculate the total incremental cost of making 90,000 and buying 90,000 units. Should the company continue to manufacture the part, or should it buy the part from the outside supplier?
Answer:
Part 1
total incremental cost of making 90,000 units = $388,000
total incremental cost of buying 90,000 units = $396,000
Part 2
There is a cost advantage of $8,000 of making than buying, therefore the company should continue to manufacture the part.
Explanation:
total incremental cost of making 90,000 units
Variable costs are ($3.20 x 90,000 units) $288,000
Fixed Costs $100,000
Total $388,000
total incremental cost of buying 90,000 units
Purchase Price ($4.40 x 90,000 units) $396,000
Total $396,000
Decision :
There is a cost advantage of $8,000 of making than buying, therefore the company should continue to manufacture the part.

Joan filed her individual income tax return 4½ months after it was due. She did not request an extension of time for filing. Along with her return, Joan remitted a check for $750, which was the balance of the taxes she owed with her return. Disregarding interest, calculate the total penalties that Joan will be required to pay, assuming the failure to file was not fraudulent
Answer:
$187.50
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the total penalties that she will be required to pay
Based on the information if she remitted a check for the amount of $750 the total penalties that she will be required to pay, if it was assumed that the failure to file was not fraudulent will be calculated as:
Total penalties=[$750*(5%*5)]
Total penalties=$750*0.25
Total penalties= $187.50
Therefore the total penalties that she will be required to pay is $187.50

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

A. 1300 Favorable
B. $7,200 UnFavorable
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine the variable factory overhead controllable variance
First step is to calculate the Budgeted rate of variable overhead
Budgeted rate of variable overhead = $50,600/22,000
Budgeted rate of variable overhead= $2.3per hour
Second step is to calculate the Standard variable overhead for actual production
Standard variable overhead for actual production = 23,000 x $2.3
Standard variable overhead for actual production = $52,900
Now let calculate the Variable factory overhead controllable variance using this formula
Variable factory overhead controllable variance = Standard variable overhead - Actual variable overhead
Let plug in the formula
Variable factory overhead controllable variance= $52,900 - ($86,400 - 34,800)
Variable factory overhead controllable variance= 1300 Favorable
Therefore Variable factory overhead controllable variance is 1300 Favorable
B. Calculation to determine the fixed factory overhead volume variance.
First step is to calculate the Predetermined fixed overhead rate using this formula
Predetermined fixed overhead rate = 34,800/29,000
Predetermined fixed overhead rate = $1.20 per hour
Second step is to calculate the Fixed overhead applied
Using this formula
Fixed overhead applied = Standard hours x Standard rate
Let plug in the formula
Fixed overhead applied= 23,000 x $1.20
Fixed overhead applied= $27,600
Now let calculate the Fixed overhead volume variance using this formula
Fixed overhead volume variance = Fixed overhead applied - Budgeted fixed overhead
Let plug in the formula
Fixed overhead volume variance= $27,600 - 34,800
Fixed overhead volume variance= $7,200 UnFavorable
Therefore The Fixed overhead volume variance is $7,200 UnFavorable
If the toothpaste market is monopolistically competitive, product differentiation would not take the form of: production of many varieties of toothpaste, including those with whitening agents. quality differences among the various brands. setting the price of the product well below the price charged by the rivals. differentiation in the locations where certain toothpastes are available.
Answer:
setting the price of the product well below the price charged by the rival
Explanation:
A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopoly has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants
When firms are earning positive economic profit, in the long run, firms enter into the industry. This drives economic profit to zero
If firms are earning negative economic profit, in the long run, firms leave the industry. This drives economic profit to zero
in the long run, only normal profit is earned
If a monopolistically competitive sets price below competitors, losses would be made. So, there is no incentive to do this

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
In June 2015, the unemployment rate declined to 5.3 percent from 5.5 percent in May. The labor force participation rate also declined from May to June, from 62.9 percent to 62.6 percent. If the labor force participation rate had remained unchanged from May to June, the unemployment rate for June 2015 would be
Answer: A. greater than 5.3 percent because the value in the numerator of the formula for the unemployment rate would increase more than the value in the denominator.
Explanation:
The unemployment rate is calculated by dividing the number of those who are unemployed but actively seeking employment by the labor force.
= Unemployed / Labor force
If the labor force participation rate had remained unchanged then that would mean that the denominator for the unemployment rate did not change while unemployment did.
The unemployment rate will therefore be greater than 5.3% because the numerator which is the unemployment figure, would have increase more than the denominator.
