Consider the following financial statement information for the Hop Corporation:
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Operating cycle = 59.29 days

Cash cycle = 26.1115 days

Explanation:

From the information given:

\text{Beginning Inventory \$16,284} \\ \\ \text{Beginning Accounts receivable 11,219} \\ \\ \text{Beginning Accounts payable 13,960} \\ \\ \text{Ending Inventory $19,108} \\ \\ \text{Ending Accounts receivable 13,973} \\ \\ \text{Ending Accounts payable 16,676} \\ \\ \text{Net sales \$219,320} \\ \\ \text{Cost of goods sold 168,420} \\ \\

\text{Ending Inventory \$19,108} \\ \\ \text{Ending Accounts receivable 13,973} \\ \\ \text{Ending Accounts payable 16,676} \\ \\ \text{Net sales \$219,320} \\ \\ \text{Cost of goods sold 168,420} \\ \\

To start with:

\text{Average inventory = } \dfrac{Beginning \ value +Ending \ value}{2} \\ \\ =\dfrac{ 16,284 + 19,108} {2} \\ \\ = \dfrac{35,392}{ 2} \\ \\ = \$17,696

\text{Average receivable }=\dfrac{ Beginning value + Ending value }{ 2} \\ \\ =\dfrac{ 11,219 + 13,973 }{2} \\ \\ =\dfrac{ 25,192 }{ 2} \\ \\= \$12,596 \\ \\

\text{Average payable }= \dfrac{Beginning \ value + Ending\  value}{  2} \\ \\ = \dfrac{13,960 + 16,676 }{2} \\ \\= \dfrac{30,636}{2} \\ \\ = \$15,313

\text{Days of inventory outstanding} = \dfrac{Average \  inventory }{ Cost  \ of  \ goods \  sold  } \times 365  \\ \\ \dfrac{= 17,686}{ 168,420} \times 365 \\ \\ = 0.105\times 365 \\ \\= 38.329 \ days

\text{Days  \ of  \ receivable \  outstanding }= \dfrac{Average  \ receivable }{ sales }\times 365 \\ \\ \dfrac{= 12,596 }{ 219,320} \times 365 \\ \\ = 0.0574 \times 365 \\ \\= 20.951 \  days

\text{Days of payable outstanding} = \dfrac{Average payable}{cost of goods sold} \times 365 \\ \\ = \dfrac{15,313 }{ 168,420} \times 365 \\ \\ = 0.0909 \times 365 \\ \\= 33.1785 days

\text{Operating Cycle = Days of inventory outstanding + Days of receivable outstanding} \\ \\ = 38.339 + 20.951 \\ \\ = 59.29 days

\text{Cash Conversion Cycle = Operating cycle - Days of payable outstanding} \\ \\ = 59.29 - 33.1785 \\ \\ = 26.1115 days \\ \\

A principle under which the intent to form a contract will be judged by outward, objective facts as interpreted by a reasonable
andriy [413]

Answer:

Objective Theory

Explanation:

The Objective theory states that the intent to form a contract will be judged by outward objective facts such as the words and actions of the party instead of the secret, subjective intentions. This theory replaced the Subjective theory in the late nineteenth century. The former theory was of the opinion that the meeting of minds, which translates to the unexpressed intentions of the party would form a basis for interpreting the intent to form a contract.

The objective theory is important as it advocates freedom to a fair hearing, freedom of contract, and personal independence or sovereignty.

During its first year of operations, the McCormick Company incurred the following manufacturing costs:_______. Direct materials,
notka56 [123]

Answer:

Net income= $432,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed overhead, $224,000.

The company produced 28,000 units, and sold 19,000 units, leaving 9,000 units in inventory at year-end.

Income calculated under variable costing is determined to be $360,000.

The difference between absorption costing and variable costing method is that the first one includes the fixed manufacturing cost in the unitary production cost. <u>Some of the fixed overhead is allocated into ending inventory increasing the net income for the period.</u>

Unitary fixed overhead= 224,000/28,000= $8

Fixed overhead in ending inventory= 8*9,000= $72,000

Net income= 360,000 + 72,000= $432,000

For each of the following scenarios, identify the number of firms present, the type of product, and the appropriate market model
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Number of Firms - many

Type of Product - differentiated

Market Model - monopolistic competition

Number of Firms - many  

Type of Product - standardised  

Market Model - perfect competition

Number of Firms - few  

Type of Product - standardised  

Market Model - oligopoly

Number of Firms - one

Type of Product - unique

Market Model - monopoly

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.   In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit.  If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.  

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.  

A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopoly has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.

An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants  

A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry. there are usually high barriers to entry of firms. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.

An example of a monopoly is a utility company

An Oligopoly is when there are few large firms operating in an industry. While, a monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry.

Oligopolies are characterised by:

  • price setting firms  
  • profit maximisation
  • high barriers to entry or exit of firms
  • downward sloping demand curve

Assume that the market is perfectly competitive. If the cost function for John's Shoe Repair is �(�) = 100 + 10� − �) + 3 4 �4,
kirill [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

C(q) = 100+10q-q^2+(1/3)q^3

To find the firm marginal cost function:

Take the derivative with respect to q

MC = 10 - 2q + q^2

Assuming that the market price is p , then the profit maximising condition is:

MR = MC

p = 10 - 2q + q^2

The short-run supply curve is the marginal cost curve that lies above the average variable cost.

The average variable cost is:

AVC =VC/Q

AVC = (10q-q^2+(1/3)q^3)/Q

AVC = 10 - q + (1/3)*q^2

So, the short-run supply curve is:

SRS = 10 - 2q + q^2 if p > 10 - q + (1/3)*q^2
