Answer:

D) cause the quantity demanded to exceed the quantity supplied of rental housing.

Explanation:

A price ceiling is a binding government regulation in which it puts a cap on the price landlords can charge tenants to rent their properties. If this happens, there could be a rapid significant increase in the demand of apartments. This would lead  to excess demand that the existing  supply cannot meet , creating a shortage. The property owners may also choose to not rent their apartment at that lower price driving the supply even lower.

Solution 1

Answer:

A. If desks are a complementary good for desk lamps, the price of desks decreases.

D. If income increases and desk lamps are inferior goods.

E. If floor lamps are substitute goods for desk lamps, the price of floor lamps increases.

Explanation:

In order to increase the demand of the desk lamps, the options A, D and E seem suitable.

If desks are a complementary good for desk lamps, the price of desks decreases. People would buy more desks which would lead to an increase in lamp sales.

If income increases and desk lamps are inferior goods. that would mean that lamps are a cheaper commodity and is in income range.

If floor lamps are substitute goods for desk lamps, the price of floor lamps increases. This would lead to shift in demand from floor lamps to desk lamps.

Solution 1

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Inelasyic Demand i.e Change in price has no effect on demand

basic necessity  goods such as: food, cloths, shelter etc are inelastic in demand because change in price will not affect the consumer behavior. due to decrease in price consumers will not start eating too much and vice versa.

2. Elastic Demand i.e change in price has significant effect on demand

Question
"Elliott Credit Corp. wants to earn an effective annual return on its consumer loans of 17.1 percent per year. The bank uses daily compounding on its loans. What interest rate is the bank required by law to report to potential borrowers?" (Use 365 days a year. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Solution 1

Answer:

APR 15.79% compounding daily

Explanation:

The bank will annunce the annual percentage rate which is equivalent to the effecte annual return

(1+apr/m)^m = 1 + r_e\\(1+apr/365)^365 = 1+0.171\\apr = (\sqrt[365]{1.171} -1) \times 365

APR = 0.157892225 = 15.79%

Solution 2

Answer:

15.79%

Explanation:

r_{e} = EAR = (1 + \frac{r}{m}) ^{m} - 1

where r_{e} = EAR = Annual Rate of Return = 0.171

m = Number of compounding periods per year = 365

r = APR = ?

r = APR = m [(1+EAR)^{\frac{1}{m} }  -1]

r = APR = 365 [(1+0.171)^{\frac{1}{365} }  -1]

r = APR = 365 [1.00043258  -1]

r = APR = 365 [0.00043258]

r = APR = 0.15789

r = APR = 15.79%

Hence the Interest Rate required by the bank to report to potential borrowers is 15.79%

Question
"Finlon Upholstery, Inc. uses a job-order costing system to accumulate manufacturing costs. The company’s work-in-process on December 31, 2001, consisted of one job (no. 2077), which was carried on the year-end balance sheet at $156,800. There was no finished-goods inventory on this date. Finlon applies manufacturing overhead to production on the basis of direct-labor cost. (The budgeted direct-labor cost is the company’s practical capacity, in terms of direct-labor hours, multiplied by the budgeted direct-labor rate.) Budgeted totals for 20x2 for direct labor and manufacturing overhead are $4,200,000 and $5,460,000, respectively. Actual results for the year follow. Direct material used $5,550,000 Direct labor 4,350,000 Indirect material used 63,000 Indirect labor 2,860,000 Factory depreciation 1,740,000 Factory insurance 59,000 Factory utilities 830,000 Selling and administrative expenses 2,160,000 Total $17,612,000 Job no. 2077 was completed in January 2002; there was no work in process at year-end. All jobs produced during 2002 were sold with the exception of job no. 2143, which contained direct-material costs of $154,000 and direct-labor charges of $85,000. The company charges any under- or overapplied overhead to Cost of Goods Sold category. Using the above information, do the following:1. Calculate the company’s predetermined overhead application rate.2. Calculate the additions to the work-in-process inventory account for the direct material used, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead.3. Calculate the finished-goods inventory for the 12/31/02 balance sheet.4. Calculate the over-applied or under-applied overhead at year-end.Explain if it is appropriate to include selling and administrative expenses in the cost of goods sold category.
Solution 1

Answer:(1) $1.3 per direct labour cost, (2) $15,360,000 (3) ($82,200) (4) $11,957,000, it is appropriate to include selling and administrative expenses in the cost of good sold because it is the cost incurred when the goods were sold.

Explanation:

Budgeted Manufacturing overhead Cost / Budgeted Total unit in the Allocation Base

= 5,460,000 /4,200,000

= $1.3 per direct labour cost

To calculate the addition to work in process inventory

$

Raw materials. 5,550,000

Direct Labour. 4,350,000

Allocated manufacturing overhead 5,460,000

-------------------

Work in process inventory. 15,360,000

----------------------

calculate the addition to work in process inventory

$

Beginning work in process inventory. 156,800

Job no 2143 (Direct materials $154,000, Direct Labour $85,000,) 239,000

-------------

Finished good Inventory (job no 2077) (82,200)

----------

To calculate the over applied overhead or under applied overhead

POAR = Budgeted Manufacturing overhead / Budgeted Direct Labour

= 5,460,000/ 4,200,000

= $1.3 per direct labour × actual activity

= 1.3 × 4,350,000 = 5,655,000

Overhead absorbed = 5,655,000

Actual Overhead incurred - Overhead Absorbed

= 17,612,000 - 5,655,000

= $11,957,000

It is appropriate to include selling and administrative expenses in the cost of good sold category because it is the cost incurred when the goods were sold.

Accumulated Depreciation & Proceed from Sale Calculation:

Year 1:

Depreciation Expense = $14,000

Year 2 New Book Value = $28,000 - $14,000

Year 2 New Book Value = $14,000

3 Months in Year 2:

Pro Rated Depreciation Expense for Used Truck

= New Book Value x Rate x No. of months used/Total No. of months in year

= $14,000 x 50% x 3/12

= $1,750

Accumulated Depreciation = $14,000 + $1,750

Accumulated Depreciation = $15,750

Net Value of Used Truck = Book Value - Accumulated Depreciation

Net Value of Used Truck = $28,000 - $15,750

Net Value of Used Truck = $12,250
