FIRST SCENARIO: The economy has taken a turn for the worse. The president believes the government should get the economy moving

again. According to the president, the problem is that markets are flawed and they do not protect consumers. Therefore, the government should study the problem, decide what must be produced, and pass laws that require individuals and businesses to follow the government’s informed advice.
Opponents of the president see a different world. They say central planners do not have enough information to organize an economic system. Markets may seem chaotic, but prices act as signals and respond quickly to fragmented information in a dynamic economy. These price signals provide consumers, businesses, and resource owners with the information they need to coordinate action. In addition, incentives matter. Government programs often create incentives that have unintended consequences. The economy will grow if we stay the course.

SECOND SCENARIO: The Save Our Jobs Coalition is working to pass a law that would penalize businesses that move jobs overseas. In addition, the law would require tariffs to be imposed on imported goods that are cheaper than similar goods made in the United States. Many corporations and small businesses are in favor of raising tariffs.

Opponents of the proposed law believe freer trade promotes economic progress because it makes more sense to buy goods from a country that makes them less expensively and use the country‟s resources to make other products. A tariff may save jobs in a particular industry, but other jobs will not be created. Furthermore, prohibiting American companies from having operations overseas means the companies will be reluctant to hire people domestically and will lay off highly paid workers in their quest to cut costs.

THIRD SCENARIO: Business lobbyists believe the current government is anti-business. They also think competition is making it difficult to make a profit. They believe it’s time for the government to help businesses through subsidies and incentives for consumers to buy their products. They also want the government to suspend antitrust laws and make new rules and regulations that would make it more difficult for small businesses to compete unfairly with large, well-established corporations. According to the lobbyists, helping business will improve everyone’s lives.

FOURTH SCENARIO: “Stop Government Now” is a group that believes there is no legitimate role for government except providing for police and fire protection. Members believe almost all governmental functions should be privatized. Markets should not be regulated. Members say markets may be greedy, but free markets make us all more moral.

Primara Corporation has a standard cost system in which it applies overhead to products based on the standard direct labor-hours
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

1. Predetermined overhead rate

= Total fixed overhead cost for the year / Budgeted standard direct labor hour

Predetermined overhead rate = $530,400 / 68,000

Predetermined overhead rate

= $7.8 per direct labor hour

2. i. Fixed overhead budget variance

= Actual fixed overhead - Budgeted fixed overhead

= $521,000 - $530,400

= $9,400 favourable

ii Fixed overhead volume variance

= Budgeter fixed overhead - Fixed overhead applied to work in process

= $530,400 - (66,000 × $7.8)

= $530,000 - $514,800

= $15,200 unfavorable

Primo Industries collected $105,000 from customers in 2019. Of the amount collected, $25,000 was for services performed in 2018.
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

a. $33,000.

b. $36,000.

Explanation:

Net income is calculated as sales minus cost of goods sold, selling, general and administrative expenses, operating expenses, depreciation, interest, taxes, and other expenses. It is also called net earnings.

Now, Cash accounting recognizes revenue and expenses only when money changes hands, but accrual accounting recognizes revenue when it's earned, and expenses when they're billed (but not paid).

a. 2014 Cash-basis net income:

Primo Industries collected $105,000 from customers in 2019

Primo Industries also paid $72,000 for expenses in 2019

=105,000-72,000

=$33,000

b. 2014 accrual-basis net income.

=(105,000-25000+40000)-(72000-30000+42000)

=120000-84000

=$36,000
