Assume US GAAP to answer this question. In 2017, $2 million in wages were earned and no cash wages were paid. In 2018, $8 millio

Answer: a. Liabilities increased by $1.0 million in 2018

Explanation:

In 2018, $9 million was used to settle the wage debt of 2017 and the remainder was used to settle the wages in 2018.

The money remaining in cash after the wage settlement was:

= 9,000,000 - 2,000,000 - 8,000,000

= -$1,000,000

This means that $1,000,000 of wages was not settled in 2018 which means that this would have to go to the Wages Payable account to signify that the company owes wages.

This account is a liability account so liabilities in 2018 would increase by $1,000,000.

Clam gulch is a very popular clamming beach in alaska. on good low tides, clammers can easily gather 60 clams (the state limit).

Ahat [919]

The way economists would probably explain the wastage of this clam resource is by saying that clams are free goods and are therefore subject to the tragedy of the commons effect. The tragedy of the commons effect is a theory in economics, postulated by the Victorian economist William Forster Lloyd.

The tragedy of the commons effect describes a condition within a shared-resource system where each user act freely according to their own self-interest, but their collective actions ends in the depletion or spoilage of that resource, thus having a negative impact on the common good of all users. In this case, commons is taken to refer to the clam resources.

Ms. BK is a self-employed architect who earns $205,000 annual taxable income. For the past several years, her tax rate on this i

scoray [572]

Answer:

a.- 20,500 less tax collected

b.- 1,750 less tax collected

c.- 26,750 less tax collected

Explanation:

under a static forecast:

205,000 x (0.35-0.25) = 205,000 x 0.1 = 20,500

The government will collect 20,500 less dollars from Ms BK's

under a flexible forecast:

205,000 x 35% - 280,000 x 25% = 71,750 - 70,000 = 1,750

It will loss tax revenue for $1,750

205,000 x 35% - 180,000 x 25% = 71,750 - 45,000 = 26,750

A process that produces computer chips has a mean of .04 defective chip and a standard deviation of .003 chip. The allowable var

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

a) 0.667

b) Yes

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Mean = 0.04 chip

Standard deviation, s = 0.003 chip

Lower Specification Limit, LSL = 0.034

Upper Specification Limit, USL = 0.046

Now,

a) Capability Index = ( USL - LSL ) ÷ ( 6 × s )

Capability Index = ( 0.046 - 0.034 ) ÷ ( 6 × 0.003 )

= 0.667

b) Cpk = min( [( USL - Mean) ÷ ( 3s ) , ( Mean - LSL) ÷ ( 3s ))

Cpk = min( ( 0.046 - 0.04) ÷ (3 × 0.003 ), ( 0.04 - 0.034 ) ÷ ( 3 × 0.003 ))

Cpk = min( 0.667, 0.667 )

Therefore,

Cpk = 0.667

as Cp and Cpk are equal

Hence, it is ideal condition and process is capable

If a competitive firm is currently producing a level of output at which profit is not maximized, then it must be true that a. ma

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

a. Marginal revenue exceeds marginal cost.

Explanation:

Note: The words "profit is not maximized" have been interpreted as, "the firm at current level of output earns profits, but not maximum profits it can earn." The answer provided herein is based upon this assumption.

Marginal revenue (MR) refers to the addition to total revenue when an additional unit of output is sold.

Similarly, marginal cost (MC) refers to the addition to total cost of production, when an additional unit is produced.

For an optimal level of production, and as a condition for profit maximization under perfect competition,

MR = MC and the marginal cost should increase post the level of output at which MR = MC.

If a competitive firm operates at a level wherein profits are not maximized, but the firm does earn profits, it indicates the stage of production wherein the marginal revenue exceeds the marginal cost.

Thus, as firm produces more and more units of output, it would reach a stage wherein marginal revenue would equal marginal costs and profits shall be maximized.
