Answer:
Explanation:
1. Megan takes 3 hours to brew a gallon of root beer and 2 hours to make a pizza.
If she makes a pizza therefore, that is 2 hours that could have been used to make a gallon of root beer. However, it takes 3 hours to make a complete gallon so in those 2 hours only;
= 2/3 gallons would have been made
2. Susan takes 7 hours to brew a gallon of root beer and 5 hours to make a pizza.
Like Megan above, the 5 hours that would be used for Pizza would have gone towards making a gallon of beer. If it takes 7 hours to make a gallon then those 5 hours would have made;
= 5/7 gallons of root beer.
3. Absolute Advantage: Megan
The person with the absolute advantage is the person that can produce more goods with the same amount of costs. Megan can make more pizza in a smaller amount of time than Susan so she has Absolute advantage.
Comparative Advantage: Megan
The person with a Comparative advantage is the one that has the lowest opportunity cost when producing a good. Megan again has a lower opportunity cost with an opportunity cost of 2/3 gallons.
If this is on Odyssey then its Helping
Answer: Increase in demand
Explanation: Change in demand occurs when factors affecting demand other the its price changes. While, a change in quantity demanded occurs when the price of the good changes other things constant. Since, jones cola and tucker cola are substitutes to each other. A rise in the price of jones cola will shift demand towards tucker cola. This, will lead to a rightward shift in the demand curve for tucker cola and an increase in demand for tucker cola.
Answer:
Unfavorable (increases taxable income).
Explanation:
$200,000-$50,000=$150,000Unfavorable (increases taxable income)
Book income would be $150,000 less than taxable income because the company increased its reserve for warranties by $200,000 and then went ahead to deduct $50,000 on its tax return related to warranty payments made during the year which is why the impact on taxable income compared to pretax book income of the book-tax difference that results from these two events will be $150,000 Unfavorable (increases taxable income).
a. Prepare the entry to correct the prior year's depreciation, if necessary.
b. Prepare the entry to record depreciation for 2021.
Answer:
a. Prepare the entry to correct the prior year's depreciation, if necessary.
b. Prepare the entry to record depreciation for 2021.
Explanation:
purchase cost of machinery $66,000
estimated useful life 8 years
estimated salvage value $4,400
depreciation has been recorded using the previous basis during the first 5 years, but now the estimated useful life was extended to 10 years and the salvage value = $4,950
depreciation expense per year (during first 5 years) = ($66,000 - $4,400) / 8 = $7,700 per year
accumulated depreciation up to year 5 = $7,700 x 5 = $38,500
the carrying value of the asset on January 1, 2021 = $66,000 - $38,500 = $27,500
the new depreciation expense per year = ($27,500 - $4,950) / 5 = $4,510
depreciation expense for 2021:
Dr Depreciation expense 4,510
Cr Accumulated depreciation - machinery 4,510
Receivables 50,000 Notes Payable To Bank 20,000
Inventories 150,000 Total Current Liabilities $50,000
Total Current Assets $210,000 Long-Term Debt 50,000
Net Fixed Assets 90,000 Common Equity 200,000
Total Assets $300,000 Total Liabilities And Equity $300,000
The new owner thinks that inventories are excessive and can be lowered to the point where the current ratio is equal to the industry average, 2.5x, without affecting sales or net income. If inventories are sold and not replaced (thus reducing the current ratio to 2.5x); if the funds generated are used to reduce common equity (stock can be repurchased at book value); and if no other changes occur, by how much will the ROE change? What will be the firm’s new quick ratio?
Answer:
The firm's new quick ratio is 2.9
Explanation:
The current ratio is calculated as
Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities
2.5 times = (Cash + receivables + Inventories ) / (Accounts payable + Other current liabilities)
2.5 = ($10,000 + $50,000 + Inventories) / $50,000
$60,000 + inventories = $125,000
Inventories = $65,000
Therefore, $85,000 worth of inventories were sold off.
If the funds generated are used to reduce the common equity that is by repurchasing the equity at book value.
Hence, the common equity amounts to $115,000
Calculating the ROE before the inventory is sold off:
ROE = Net income / Stockholder's equity
= $15,000 / $200,000
= 0.075 or 7.5%
Calculating the ROE after selling off the inventory:
ROE = $15,000 / $115,000
= 0.13 or 13%
The firm's new quick ratio is
Quick ratio = (Current assets - Inventories) / Current liabilities
= ($210,000 - $65,000) / $50,000
= 2.9

Explanation:
Government needs to fill gap of $64 billions
for economist A
Tax multiplier is 2 so in order to fill a output gap of 64 billions, cut taxes by 64/ 2 = 32 billion
tax have to cut by $32 billions
govt spending multiplier is 8, so spendinh has to increase by 64/8=$8 billions.
for economist B
Tax multipler is 8 so to fill a output gap of 64 billions, cut taxes by 64/ 8= 8 billion
tax have to cut by $8 billions
govt spending multiplier is 4, so spending has to increase by 64/4=$16 billions.
⇒This means that Economist C likely believes that:
- Tax cuts induce investment spending and improve workers incentives.This is because cutting the taxes gives an incentive to the workers to work more.
⇒ A rise in government spending completely crowds out private sector spending, because increased govt spending increases the interest rate, hence private spending is crowded out.
