Answer:
1. Using a method similar to that used to calculate the consumer price index, the percentage change in the overall price level is;
Value of market basket of the good in 2017
= (50 * 2) + (5 * 6)
= $130
Value of market basket of the good in 2018
= (70 * 2) + (6 * 6)
= $176
CPI in 2017
= 130/ 130 * 100
= 100
CPI in 2018
= 176 / 130 * 100
= 135.38
Percentage change
= (135.38 - 100)/100
= 35.38%.
2. Using a method similar to that used to calculate the GDP deflator, the percentage change of the overall price level is ;
Nominal GDP in 2017
= (50 * 20) + (5 * 60)
= $1,300
Nominal GDP in 2018
= (70 * 21) + (6 * 80)
= $1,950
Real GDP using 2017 prices
Real GDP in 2017
= (50 * 20) + (5 * 60)
= $1,300
Real GDP in 2018
= (50 * 21) + (5 * 80)
= $1,450
GDP deflator in 2017
= (Nominal GDP in 2020 / Real GDP in 2020) * 100
= (1,300 / 1,300) * 100
= 100
GDP deflator in 2021
= (Nominal GDP in 2021 / Real GDP in 2021) * 100
= (1,950 / 1,450) * 100
= 134.48
Percentage Change
= [(134.48 - 100) / 100] * 100
= 34.48%
3. Which of the following statements is correct
a. The inflation rate in 2018 is not the same using the two methods.
b. The GDP deflator allows the basket of goods and services to change.

Tammi’s Truck Stop sells Seat-o-Nails cushions, which are specially designed to keep drivers awake on the road. Her accessories supplier makes deliveries every Tuesday, at which times she can get as many cushions as she wants (the supplier’s truck carries a large number of cushions). The cushions cost $40 wholesale, and Tammi sells them for $65. She also uses a 35 percent interest rate to evaluate the cost of holding inventory. Today it is Tuesday, Tammi has 12 cushions in stock, and the supplier has just arrived. Assuming that the weekly demand is normally distributed with mean 35 and standard deviation 10, answer the questions below. (hint: use newsvendor model)How many cushions should Tammi buy if sales are lost when she runs out of stock during the week?Reconsider part (a) if unmet demand is not lost but it is back ordered, and it costs Tammi $12 to mail the cushion to the customer.
Answer:
Explanation:
(a) The cost of underage(Cu) will be the opportunity cost for lost sales which will be:
= 65 - 40
= 25
The cost of overage(Co) will be the holding cost which will be:
= 40 x 35%/52
= 40 × 0.35/52
= 40 × 0.0067308
= 0.269
The Critical ratio will be:
= Cu/(Cu + Co)
= 25/(0.269+25)
= 0.9894
For the optimal condition,
F(z) = Critical ratio = 0.9894,
therefore, z = normsinv (0.9894) = 2.30
Therefore, the optimal stock will be calculated as:
= Mean demand + (z × Stdev)
= 35 + (2.30 × 10)
= 35 + 23
= 58 units.
We should note that Tammi already has 12 cushions in stock, therefore the order quantity will be:
= 58 - 12
= 46 units
(b) Cu = 12
Co = 0.269
Critical ratio will be:
= Cu/(Co + Cu)
= 12 / (12 + 0.269)
= 0.9781
Therefore, z = normsinv(0.9781) = 2.0
Then, the optimal stock will be:
= 35 + (2.0 × 10)
= 35+20
= 55 units
We should note that Tammi already has 12 cushions in stock, therefore the order quantity will be:
= 55 - 12
= 43 units
Jacob is a participant in JJ's defined benefit plan. Jacob is 37 years old and earns $160,000. He has 4 years of service for purposes of the plan and has worked at the firm for 5 years. The plan provides a benefit of 1.5% for each year of participation. The plan has the least generous vesting schedule possible. Almost 70 percent of the accrued benefits are attributable to the fifteen equal owners, who have all been working at the company for decades. If Jacob were to leave today, what percent of his salary (as defined by the plan) could he expect to receive at normal retirement? a. 3.6%. b. 4.8%. c. 6.0%. d. 6.4%.
Answer:
d. 6.4%.
Explanation:
Even though 70% of the benefits are allocated to 15 key employees (and also co-owners), non-key employees must receive a minimum benefit.
This minimum benefit = 2% x the number of years in service (for the purpose of the plan) = 2% x 4 = 8%. But this minimum benefit is reduced depending on the % of vesting which in this case = 4 years /5 years = 0.8.
total benefit = 8% x 0.8 = 6.4%
After reading the article, select the statements that are correct. Choose one or more: A. The cost-of-living adjustment for 2020 is more than what it was in 2019. B. The former program trustee argues that the current inflation measure overcompensates seniors since it ignores the substitution effect. C. According to advocates for seniors, the 2020 COLA is not enough to compensate for rising healthcare costs. D.

Answer:
B. The former program trustee argues that the current inflation measure overcompensates seniors since it ignores the substitution effect.C. According to advocates for seniors, the 2020 COLA is not enough to compensate for rising healthcare costs. D. Elizabeth Warren has proposed using a new inflation measure that outpaces the current one used.Explanation:
The article is, ''Social Security checks to rise modestly amid push to expand benefits '' by Associated Press.
Blahous is a former program trustee who believes that the current inflation adjustment rate at which Social security is increasing is overcompensating seniors because it does not take into account that seniors could be switching to buying cheaper products which is the Substitution effect.
Advocates and the seniors themselves have complained that the 2020 COLA is not enough to meet their current needs especially given the rising cost of healthcare.
Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders both proposed using a new measure for inflation that will adequately compensate the seniors because it outpaces the current one used.
Brown's, a local bakery, is worried about increased costs particularly energy. Last year's records can provide a fairly good estimate of the parameters for this year. Wende Brown, the owner, does not believe things have changed much, but she did invest an additional $3,000 for modifications to the bakery's ovens to make them more energy efficient. The modifications were supposed to make the ovens at least 20% more efficient. Brown has asked you to check the energy savings of the new ovens and also to look over other measures of the bakery's productivity to see if the modifications were beneficial. You have the following data to work with:
Last Year Now
Production (dozen) 1,500 1,500
Labor (hours) 340 320
Capital Investment ($) 15,000 18,000
Energy (BTU) 3,200 2,800
Energy productivity increase =_______________
Capital productivity increase=_______________
Labor productivity increase = _______________
Answer: a. 12.5%
b. -16.67%
c. 5.88%
Explanation:
a. Energy Change will be:
(Production x 12)/Energy
Last year : (1500 × 12)/3200
= 5.625loaves/BTU
Now : (1500 × 12)/2800
= 6.42857 loaves/BTU
Percent Change will be:
= [6.42857 - 5.625]/6.42857 × 100
= 12.5%
b. Capital productivity increase will be:
= Production x 12)/Capital investment
Last year : (1500 × 12)/15000
= 1.2loaves/BTU
Now : (1500 × 12)/18000
= 1 loaves/BTU
Percent Change will be:
= (1-1.2)/1.2 × 100
= -16.67%
b. Labor Change:
Last year : (1500 × 12)/340
= 52.94 loaves/labor hour
Now : (1500 × 12)/320
= 56.25 loaves/labor hour
Percent Change:
= (56.25 - 52.94/56.25) × 100
= 5.88%
Energy Productivity Last year is
= Output ÷ Energy
= 15000 ÷ 3000 doz/BTU
= 5 dozen/BTU
Energy Productivity Now
= Output ÷ Energy
= 15000 ÷ 2800
= 5.3571 dozen/BTU
Thus, Increase % = (5.3571-5) ÷ 5 × 100 = 7.14%
Energy Productivity increase is 7.14%
Capital Productivity Last year = Output ÷ Capital
= 15000 ÷ 15000 doz/$
= 1 dozen/$
Capital Productivity Now = Output ÷ Capital
= 15000 ÷ 18000
= 0.8333 dozen/$
Thus, Increase % = (0.8333-1) ÷ 1 × 100
= -16.67%
Capital Productivity increase is -16.67%
Labour Productivity Last year = Output ÷ Labour
= 15000 ÷ 360 doz/hour
= 41.6667 dozen/hr
Labour Productivity Now = Output ÷Labour
= 15000 ÷320
= 46.8750 dozen/hr
Thus, Increase % = (46.8750-41.6667) ÷41.6667*100
= 12.50%
Labour Productivity increase is 12.50%

The marketing manager at a local chain supermarket is testing the effectiveness of four advertising strategies (Factor A) on sales, and runs the advertising over a two-week period. It is suspected that sales also differs by store locations because of differing customer traffic; therefore, the stores were blocked on location (Factor B). The manager wants to understand how sales depends upon advertising strategy and location using a two-way ANOVA without interaction. The sales (in $1000s), along with column, row, and overall means, are displayed below. How many degrees of freedom are there for factors A and B, respectively
Answer:
Option B (11) seems to be the correct response.
Explanation:
The given question is incomplete. Please find attachment of the complete query.
As we know, from the given output or outcome
i.e., N = 12

You sold short 400 shares of a stock for $60 per share. Your broker’s initial margin requirement is 60%. The broker’s maintenance margin requirement is 35%. You initially want to put up as little capital (money) as possible to support the short sale.
A.) How much capital must you have in your account before you can make the short sale?
B.) If the stock price goes to $70 per share, will you receive a margin call? Show your work to support your answer.
C.) If one year later you covered your short position at $52 per share, what rate of return will you receive on your investment if the company’s stock that you shorted paid total dividends of $0.50 per share during the time you held the stock short? Assume there are no broker transaction charges.
Answer:
A) $14400
B) No margin call will be received because the balance in the margin account is > balance required in the maintenance margin account
C) 23.61%
Explanation:
A) capital that you must have
number of shares short * per share value * margin requirement
= 400 * 60 * 60% = 14400
B) If the share goes up to $70 per share
No margin call will be received because the balance in the margin account is > balance required in the maintenance margin account
First we have to calculate the balance in the margin account
= 14400 - 400*( change in share price)
= 14400 - 400 ( $10 ) = 10400
next we calculate the amount that is supposed to be in the maintenance margin account
= 400 * 70 * 35% = 9800
C ) calculate rate of return
first we calculate the gain on covering = number of shares * ( change in price par share)
= 400 * ( 60 - 52 ) = 3200
next we calculate total dividend received
= $0.5 * 400 = 200
Total gain = 3200 + 200 = $3400
Hence the rate of return
=( total gain / capital )* 100
= ( 3400 / 14400 ) * 100
= 23.61%

Johnson Company calculates its allowance for uncollectible accounts as 10% of its ending balance in gross accounts receivable. The allowance for uncollectible accounts had a credit balance of $30,000 at the beginning of 2021. No previously written-off accounts receivable were reinstated during 2021. At 12/31/2021, gross accounts receivable totaled $500,000, and prior to recording the adjusting entry to recognize bad debts expense for 2021, the allowance for uncollectible accounts had a debit balance of 55,000. Required: 1. What was the balance in gross accounts receivable as of 12/31/2020
Answer:
Incomplete question is "2. What journal entry should Johnson record to recognize bad debt expense for 2021? 3. Assume Johnson made no other adjustment of the allowance for uncollectible accounts during 2021. Determine the amount of accounts receivable written off during 2021 4. If Johnson instead used the direct write-off method, what would bad debt expense be for 2021?"
1. Gross accounts Receivable = Allowance Account balance at beginning / 10%
= $30,000 / 10%
= $300,000
2. Year Account Title Debit Credit
2021 Bad debt expense $105,000
($500,000*10% + $55,000)
To Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $105,000
3. Accounts receivable written off = Beginning balance of Allowance Account - Ending Balance of Allowance account
= $30,000 - (- $50,000)
= $30,000 + $50,000
= $80,000
4. Bad debt expense for 2021 (direct write off method) = Amount written off = $80,000

Eastern Motors Auto Dealership wanted to estimate the average CLV over a 5 year time horizon of a customer who purchases a new vehicle. The average vehicle sells for $25,500 and has a margin of 9%. Based on historical averages, 81% of people buying a new vehicle at Eastern will return for service 8 times over the next 5 years. Though it varies considerably, Eastern generates approximately $122 in margin on each service visit after accounting for parts and direct labor costs. What would be the value of a service loyalty program that increased the average number of visits by 2 (over 5 years) and increased the probability that a new vehicle purchaser would return for service by 5 percentage points (e.g. from 75% to 80%) on a per customer basis
Answer:
the average profit from selling a car = $25,500 x 9% = $2,295
the average profit from providing 1 service = $122
customer lifetime value = (Annual profit per customer x customer relationship in years) - customer acquisition cost
the current CLV = $2,295 + ($122 x 8 x 81%) = $3,085.56
if you are able to increase the probability of using the company's maintenance services by 5% (from 815 to 86%), then the new CLV = $2,295 + ($122 x 8 x 86%) = $3,134.36
the difference = $3,134.36 - $3,085.56 = $48.80
Theoretically, you can spend up to $48.80 in the service loyalty program. But this analysis is incomplete, since providing a good service should also increase the possibility of selling a new car to the same customer after 5 years. This should extend the customer relationship for many years. E.g. that has been a major factor in the success of Honda and Toyota.
In 2017, John opened an investment account with Randy Hansen, who held himself out to the public as an investment adviser and securities broker. John contributed $200,000 to the account in 2017. John provided Randy with a power of attorney to use the $200,000 to purchase and sell securities on John’s behalf. John instructed Randy to reinvest any gains and income earned. In 2017, 2018, and 2019, John received statements of the amount of income earned by his account and included these amounts in his gross income for these years. In 2020, it was discovered that Randy’s purported investment advisory and brokerage activity was in fact a fraudulent investment arrangement known as a Ponzi scheme. In reality, John’s account balance was zero, the money having been used by Randy in his scheme.
Required:
Identify the relevant tax issues for John.
Answer:
The relevant tax issues are as follows:
- Is the loss a theft loss or an investment loss?
- Is the loss subject to either the personal loss limits or the limits on itemized deductions?
- How is the amount of the loss determined?
- In which year can the loss be taken?
- Is there a way to receive a tax benefit for the full amount of income recognized in prior years?
The irrelevant tax issue is:
- Did John have other casualty or theft losses within the last five years?
Explanation:
In this scenario John invested and provided Randy with a power of attorney to use $200,000 to purchase and sell securities on his behalf.
The earnings were to be reinvested, but John realised in 2020 that Randy was running a Ponzi scheme and his account was zero.
As John will most likely not be possible a casualty loss may be allowed.
Since the loss happened in 2017 when he invested the theft loss will be deducted in that year.
He will be able to deduct his losses under 165.
Deductions are allowed for losses in a tax year that is not covered by insurance.
Losses that can be claimed are limited to:
- Losses in business or trade
- Losses in transactions for profit
- Losses as a result of theft, fire, storm, or shipwreck.

Turco Products uses a job order cost system. The following debits (credits) appeared in Work-in-Process Inventory for September: Description Amount September 1 Balance $ 70,200 For the month Direct materials 421,200 For the month Direct labor 262,600 For the month Factory overhead 315,120 For the month To finished goods ( 832,000 ) Turco applies overhead to production at a predetermined rate of 120 percent based on direct labor cost. Job 9-27, the only job still in process at the end of September, has been charged direct labor of $35,100. Required: What cost amount of direct materials was charged to Job 9-27?
Answer: $159,900
Explanation:
Work in Process balance for the year = 70,200 + 421,200 + 262,600 + 315,120 - 832,000 (finished goods)
= $237,120
This means that Job 9-27 accounts for the total cost of $237,120
The costs to Job 9-27 are;
237,120 = Direct labor + Direct Materials + Factory Overhead
237,120 = 35,100 + Direct materials + (35,100 * 120%)
Direct Materials = 237,120 - 35,100 - (35,100 * 120%)
= $159,900

Answer: Net Pension liability of $42 million
Explanation:
Net Pension Asset (Liability) = Ending Plan Assets - Ending PBO
Ending PBO = Beginning PBO + Service Cost + Interest cost + Loss on PBO - Retiree benefits paid
= 820 + 74 + 41 + 9 - 77
= $867
Net Pension Assets (Liability) = 825 - 867

Arona Corporation manufactures canoes in two departments, Fabrication and Waterproofing. In the Fabrication Department, fiberglass panels are attached to a canoe- shaped aluminum frame. The canoes are then transferred to the Waterproofing department to be coated with sealant. Arona uses a weighted-average process cost system to collect costs in both departments. All materials in the Fabrication Department are added at the beginning of the production process. On July 1, the Fabrication Department had 30 canoes in process that were 20% complete with respect to conversion cost. On July 31, Fabrication had 20 canoes in process that were 40% complete with respect to conversion cost. During July, the Fabrication Department completed 70 canoes and transferred them to the Waterproofing Department. What journal entry should Arona make to record the completion of the production process by the Waterproofing Department?
Answer:
Arona Corporation
Journal Entry:
Debit Finished Goods Inventory $
Credit Work in Process - Waterproofing Department $
To transfer 70 canoes to the finished goods inventory.
Explanation:
Arona Corporation makes this entry to transfer 70 canoes to the finished goods inventory account in order to record the completion of the production process by the Waterproofing Department. The Work in Process of the Waterproofing Department is credited with the value of 70 canoes multiplied by their unit costs. Then the Finished Goods Inventory is debited to record the transfer. These entries show that the Waterproofing Department is not indebted to the organization having completed its assignment.

Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Order size:
Estimated activity cost= $585,866
Estimated machine hours= 10,900
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 585,866/10,900
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $53,75 per machine hour
Identify and discuss two or three ways in which poor application of HR strategies (see exhibit "Consequences of Career Planning" in the Content section) would create negative employee consequences.
Answer:
Poor recruiting would lead to a poor staff, that is not competent enough to carry out the daily activities of the organization.
Poor economic compensation leads to unmotivated employees who are likely to seek other job opportunities at the first chance. Poorly-compensated employees could also be a factor that keeps competent prospects from seeking the company.
Finally, poor in-job-training can lead to poor performance, even from otherwise competent employees. This is because even if a employee has very good skills and experience, each job is different, and has specific demands, and for this reason, in-job training is always necessary.

What must their annuity (A) be in order to make it to their vacation if the interest rate is 8.25% compounded weekly.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Monthly saving= $200
Future value= $9,384.44
Number of years= 3
a) To calculate the Future Value, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {2,400*[(1.11^3) - 1]} / 0.11
FV= $8,021.04
b) To calculate the semiannual deposit, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= semiannual deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
i= 0.15/2= 0.075
n= 3*2= 6
A= (9,384.44*0.075) / [(1.075^6) - 1]
A= $1,295.47
c) i= 0.1375/4= 0.0344
n= 3*4= 12
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= quarterly deposit
A= (9,384.44*0.0344) / [(1.0344^12) - 1]
A= $644.89
d) i= 0.115/12= 0.0096
n= 3*12= 36
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= monthly deposit
A= (9,384.44*0.0096) / [(1.0096^36) - 1]
A= $219.46
e) i=0.0825/52= 0.0016
n= 3*52= 156
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= weekly deposit
A= (9,384.44*0.0016) / [(1.0016^156) - 1]
A= $53.01

Merchandise costing $1,600 is sold for $2,600 on terms 2/30, n/60. If the customer pays within the discount period, what amount will be reported on the income statement as net sales and as gross profit?
Answer:
Net sales $2,548 and gross profit $948
Explanation:
2/30 means a 2% discount if payment is made within 30 days. Since the customer paid within the discount period,
net sales will be
The discount amount = 2% of $2600
=2/100 x $2600
=0.02 x $2600
=$52
Net sales:
= $2600 - $52
=$2,548
The gross profit will be the selling price- purchase price.
=$2,548 - $1,600
=$948
