Stinehelfer Beet Processors, Inc., processes sugar beets in batches. A batch of sugar beets costs $59 to buy from farmers and $2

1 to crush in the company's plant. Two intermediate products, beet fiber and beet juice, emerge from the crushing process. The beet fiber can be sold as is for $35 or processed further for $27 to make the end product industrial fiber that is sold for $47. The beet juice can be sold as is for $55 or processed further for $35 to make the end product refined sugar that is sold for $81. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company from processing the intermediate product beet juice into refined sugar rather than selling it as is?

Answer:

Financial disadvantage from further processing = $(9)

Explanation:

<em>A company should process further a product if the additional revenue from the split-off point is greater than than the further processing cost.  </em>

<em>Also note that all cost incurred up to the split-off point (the cost of crushing) are irrelevant to the decision to process further .  </em>

                                                                                                  $

Sales revenue after crushing                                                55                          

Sales revenue at the split-off point                                        <u>81</u>

Additional sales revenue                                                       26

Further processing cost                                                        <u> (35)</u>

Net income after further processing                                     <u> (9) </u>

Financial disadvantage from further processing = $(9)

<em>Kindly note that the allocated joint costs( cost of sugar and crushing) are irrelevant. This implies that whether or not the intermediate products are processed further the joint costs are irrelevant to the decision to process the beet juice further</em>.

Monty loaned his friend Ned $12,000 three years ago. Ned signed a note and made payments on the loan. Last year, when the remain
irinina [24]

Answer:

$ 6,600

Explanation:

Monty should $\text{includ}$e up to $\$ 8,100$ in the gross account but to an extent of the tax benefit in the previous year. Since the debt is a non-business debt, the amount of $\$ 9,000$ would be reported as the short term business capital loss.

In the previous year, Monty had a capital gain of $\$ 3,600$ and $\$33,250$ as taxable income.

Therefore, $ 3,600 + $ 3,000 = $ 6,600

So $ 6,600 out of $ 9,000 loss produced the tax benefit. Therefore, only $\$6,000$ can be included in the gross income of Monty for this year.

Double counting would occur if: a imports were subtracted from GDP. b inventories were added to the GDP calculation. c used good
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

c used goods were included in the GDP calculation

Explanation:

Gross domestic product is the sum of all final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year.

GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending + Investment spending + Government Spending + Net Export

If used goods are included in the calculation of GDP, it would be double counting because the good would have been included in the calculation of GDP when it was newly produced.

Which economic system is characterized by public ownership of the means of production, the pursuit of collective goals (rather t
Dennis_Churaev [7]

An economic system is characterized by public ownership of the means of production, the pursuit of collective goals (rather than market-oriented production), and centralized decision making is called "command economy (socialism)."

<h3>What is command economy (socialism)?</h3>

A form of command economy is socialism. The majority of the production factors, including land and capital goods, are owned and under the jurisdiction of the state.

Key features of command economy are-

  • A populist economic and political structure, socialism is founded on the common, collective, or public ownership of the means of production.
  • The equipment, resources, and manufacturing facilities utilized to create products that are intended to directly meet human needs are among those means of production.
  • The state uses central planning.
  • The state maintains centralized control over the production of products and services, as well as their prices and distribution.
  • While free-market economies have historically been identified with capitalism and democratic countries, command economies have historically been connected with socialist and communist countries.

Socialism the best economic system because-

  • Theoretically, socialism aims to create the greatest amount of common wealth through public benefits.
  • Since the government oversees the majority of societal activities, it can utilize resources, labor, and lands more efficiently.
  • Socialism lessens wealth disparity not only between different regions but also between all social classes and ranks.
