Answer:

Marginal Product:

The marginal product of an input that is being used in the production process of a good or services is the extra output generated by using the extra unit of that input. Alternatively, the marginal product is the output generated by the last unit of the input added only.

Explanation:

  1. Diminishing marginal returns means that as you adds more units of that input, the marginal product declines. That is, each additional of extra unit of the input results in decreased and less additional output. For example, the marginal product of labor usually decreases as the amount of labor increases because there is a fixed amount of capital used in the short run, so when labor increases, the capital per unit of labor decreases, which results in each and every extra working being less productive than the previous one.
  2. Dis-economies of scale, whereas, results in an increase in the average cost of production as the number of units increases. That's why diminishing marginal returns refers to production, and dis-economies of scale refers to the average cost. Dis-economies of scale often happened because the production levels get high, there is less management on each employee, resulting in each employee having less motivation to work as hard due to lack of production making it hard to notice that change.So, it may results in the average worker's productivity decreasing, causing the per-unit cost to rise.

2. Your grandfather placed $5,000 in a trust fund for you. In 12 years what will be the worth of the savings. If the estimated r
Shkiper50 [21]

With compound interest on a principal of $5,000.00 at a rate of 8% per year compounded 1 time per year over 12 years is $12,590.85.

<h3>Compound interest</h3>

Given Data

  • Principal = $5,000
  • Time = 12 years
  • Rate = 8%

Assuming a compounded interest approach

A = P + I where

P (principal) = $5,000.00

I (interest) = $7,590.85

Calculation Steps:

First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 8/100

r = 0.08 rate per year,

Then solve the equation for A

A = P(1 + r/n)nt

A = 5,000.00(1 + 0.08/1)(1)(12)

A = 5,000.00(1 + 0.08)(12)

A = $12,590.85

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

everyone is willing to pay the taxes to receive the benefits.

Explanation:

Taxation can be defined as the involuntary or compulsory fees levied on individuals or business entities by the government to generate revenues used for funding public institutions and activities.

The different types of tax include the following;

1. Income tax: a tax on the money made by workers in the state. This type of tax is paid by employees with respect to the amount of money they receive as their wages or salary.

2. Property tax: a tax based on the value of a person's home or business. It is mainly taxed on physical assets or properties such as land, building, cars, business, etc.

3. Sales tax: a tax that is a percent of the price of goods sold in retail stores. It is being paid by the consumers (buyers) of finished goods and services and then, transfered to the appropriate authorities by the seller.

A Lindahl equilibrium can be defined as an economic state in which there is a production of an optimal quantity of public goods and the cost of these goods is shared in a fair manner among everybody. It was developed by Erik Lindahl.

In a Lindahl equilibrium everyone is willing to pay the taxes to receive the benefits.

Inventory, by                           Per Unit    Net Realizable

Product Category  Quantity     Cost              Value

Tools:

Hammers                  100         $5.00          $5.50

Saw                          200          10.00            9.00

Screwdrivers           300           2.00            2.60

Paint products:

1-gallon cans          500           6.00             5.00

Paint brushes         100            4.00            4.50

Required:

1. Determine the carrying value of inventory at year-end, assuming the lower of cost or net realizable value (LCNRV) rule is applied to (a) individual products, (b) product categories, and (c) total inventory.

2. Assuming inventory write-downs are common for Almaden, record any necessary year-end adjustment amount for each of the LCNRV applications in requirement 1.

Answer:

<h3>Almaden Hardware Store</h3>

1. The carrying value of inventory at year-end, assuming the lower of cost or net realizable value (LCNRV) rule is applied to

(a) individual products:

= $5,800

(b) product categories:

= $6,050

(c) total inventory:

= $6,080

2. Inventory write-down as a line item in the income statement, for each of the LCNRV applications for:

(a) individual products:

Debit Cost of goods sold $700

Credit Inventory $700

To record the inventory write down based on LCNRV.

(b) product categories:

Debit Cost of goods sold $450

Credit Inventory $450

To record the inventory write down based on LCNRV.

(c) total inventory:

Debit Cost of goods sold $420

Credit Inventory $420

To record the inventory write down based on LCNRV.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Inventory, by                           Per Unit    Net Realizable  LCNRV  Inventory

Product Category  Quantity     Cost             Value                           Value

Tools:

Hammers                  100         $5.00          $5.50             $5.00       $500

Saw                          200          10.00            9.00               9.00        1,800

Screwdrivers           300           2.00            2.60                2.00         600

Paint products:

1-gallon cans          500           6.00             5.00               5.00      2,500

Paint brushes         100            4.00            4.50                4.00         400

Inventory amount (LCNRV rule applied to individual products)  $5,800

Inventory amount (LCNRV rule applied to product categories)

Tools: Cost value = (100 * $5) + (200 * $10) + (300 * $2) = $3,100

          NRV value = (100 * $5.50) + (200 * $9) + (300 * $2.60) = $3,130

LCNRV = $3,100 for tools

Paint products: Cost value = (500 * $6) + (100 * $4) = $3,400

                         NRV value =  (500 * $5) + (100 * $4.50) = $2,950

LCNRV = $2,950 for paint products

Total LCNRV = $6,050 ($3,100 + $2,950)

Inventory amount (LCNRV rule applied to total inventory):

Cost value = (100 * $5) + (200 * $10) + (300 * $2) + (500 * $6) + (100 * $4)

= $6,500

NRV value = (100 * $5.50) + (200 * $9) + (300 * $2.60) + (500 * $5) + (100 * $4.50) = $6,080

Year-end Adjustments for each of the LCNRV applications in requirement 1:

(a) individual products:

Cost of Inventory =   $6,500

LCNRV =                      5,800

Inventory write down  $700

(b) product categories:

Cost of Inventory =   $6,500

LCNRV =                      6,050

Inventory write down  $450

(c) total inventory:

Cost of Inventory =   $6,500

LCNRV =                      6,080

Inventory write down  $420

Exercise 14-8 Presented below are three independent situations. (a) Oriole Co. sold $1,970,000 of 12%, 10-year bonds at 102 on J
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

$116,230

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the amount of interest expense to be reported on July 1, 2017, and December 31, 2017.

First step is to find the Cash interest on the Bond calculated as:

Cash interest on the Bond = 1,970,000*12%*6/12 = $118,200

Second step is to find the Premium on Bonds Payable calculated as :

Note that (102%-100%)=2%

Hence,

Premium on Bonds Payable = 1,970,000*0.02 = 39,400

The third step is to find the Semiannual bond Premium Amorixed for both July 1, 2017, and December 31 calculated as :

Semiannual bond Premium Amorixed = 39,400/(10*2)

Semiannual bond Premium Amorixed = 39,400/20

Semiannual bond Premium Amorixed = 1,970

The last step is to calculate Interest expenses for the both July 1, 2017, and July 1, 2017, and December 31 using this formula

Interest Expenses = Cash interest - Premium amortized

Let plug in the formula

Interest expenses = 118,200-1,970 = $116,230

Therefore the amount of interest expense to be reported on July 1, 2017, and December 31, 2017 will be $116,230
