Answer:

Equilibrium price would rise

Equilibrium quantity would fall

Explanation:

If the supply of peanuts falls, it would lead to a rise in the price of peanuts because the demand for peanuts woild exceed its supply.

The rise in price would increase the cost of production of peanut butter because peanut is an input in the production of peanut butter. This rise in cost would discourage suppliers and supply of peanut butter would fall. As a result equilibrium quantity would fall. As a result of a fall in supply of peanut butter, demand would exceed supply and equilibrium price would rise.

svetoff [14.1K]

PART A

Answer:

Insurance expense debit for 3,800

        Insurance prepaid credit for 3,800

Explanation:

a.- Prepaid Insurance. The Prepaid Insurance account has a $4,700 debit balance to start the year. A re- view of insurance policies and payments shows that $900 of unexpired insurance remains at year-end.

Step 1:  Currently equals to $4,700

Step 2: It should equal $900

In this Case: It is giving us the begining balance, and then it proceeds to tell us the ammount unexpired, which means the ending balance. So the <em>diference will be the adjuting entry</em>

Step 3: $4700 - $900 = $3,800

insurance expense debit for 3,800

  insurance prepaid credit for 3,800

PART B

Answer:

insurance expense 1040  debit

        prepaid insurance               1040credit

Explanation:

b.- Prepaid Insurance. The Prepaid Insurance account has a $5,890 debit balance at the start of the year. A review of insurance policies and payments shows $1,040 of insurance has expired by year-end.

Step 1: Curently equals to $5,890

Step 2: 5,890 - 1,040 expired portion = 4,850 unexpired portion

            The blaance should be 4,850

In this Case: It is giving us the begining balance, and then it proceeds to tell us the ammount expired, which means the adjusting entry. So the <em>diference will be the ending balance</em>

Step 3

The adjusting entry must be made for 1,040 which is the expired portion

insurance expense 1040  debit

       prepaid insurance               1040credit

PART C

Answer:

rent expense   4,000 debit

        prepaid rent                4,000 credit

Explanation:

C.- PrepaidRent. On September 1 of the current year, the company prepaid $24,000 for 2 years of rent for facilities being occupied that day. The company debited Prepaid Rent and credited Cash for $24,000.

Step 1 Current balance is 24,000

In this Case: It is giving us the begining balance, and then it proceeds to tell us <em>information about the contract,</em> which means <em>we are going to work to get the expired portion</em> and with that calculate the ending balance like on part B

Step 2 We are at December 31th the expired portion will be 4 months (September, October, November and December) so:

        24,000

-----------------------------   x 4 months expired = 4,000 expired portion

24 month of contract

24,000 - 4,000 = 20,000

<em>begining - expired = ending AKA "unexpired"</em>

<em>The balance should be equal to 20,000</em>

<em />

Step 3: the adjusting entry should be done for 4,000 which is the expired portion of the rent.

rent expense   4,000 debit

   prepaid rent                4,000 credit

liberstina [14]

Answer:

(A)

The total relevant cost would be: 495,000

Buy 15,000 x 35 = 525,000

It would be better to keep producing.

(B) relevant cost 495,000

Buy 525,000 - 150,000 = 375,000

In this scenario is better to buy the procuct, as this alternative will come with the 525,000 cost but 150,000 contribution margin in the new product

Explanation:

The relevant cost would be:

Direct Materials                         14

Direct labor                                10

Variable Overhead                     3

traceable fixed overhead          6

Total                                         33

15,000 x 33 = 495,000

<u>The depreciation is a sunk cost,</u> already incurred when the machine was purchased. Is not relevant to decide wether to produce or buy

The potencial new product would be opportunity cost:

It should be considered as a decrease in the cost of buy the product

You short sold 500 shares of Jasper stock at $41 a share at an initial margin of 60 percent. What is the highest the stock price
avanturin [10]

Answer:

Px = \frac{[(N*P) +(N*P*M1]/N}{1+ M2}

And if we replace we have this:

Px =\frac{[(500*41) +(500*41*0.6]/500}{1+ 0.4}

Px= 46.857 \ approx 46.86

So then the highest the stock price can go before you receive a margin call if the maintenance margin is 40 percent is $ 46.86.

See explanation below.

Explanation:

For this case we define the following notation:

N= 500 represent the number of stocks for JAsper

P = 41 represent the stock price

M1 = 60% = 0.6 represent the initial margin

Px represent the highest stock price the variable of interest for this case

M2= 40% or 0.4 represent the mainteneance margin

We can find the value of Px with the following formula on this case:

Px = \frac{[(N*P) +(N*P*M1]/N}{1+ M2}

And if we replace we have this:

Px =\frac{[(500*41) +(500*41*0.6]/500}{1+ 0.4}

Px= 46.857 \ approx 46.86

So then the highest the stock price can go before you receive a margin call if the maintenance margin is 40 percent is $ 46.86.
