Explanation:

Here is the complete question:

friend and fellow student shares her employment experience over the last 12-week summer break. It took her one full week to find a job. She started on the first day of week two and was able to keep her job for the remaining eleven weeks. Use this information to answer the following three questions, assuming the unemployment rate is not changing:

1. Calculate the rate of job finding (f) for the summer, using an average rate per week. Enter this value in the box below. Note that if f is the rate of job finding, then the average spell of unemployment is (1/f).

The value of f is:

2. Calculate the rate of job separation (s), using an average rate per week. Enter this value into the box below. Note that if s is the rate of job separation, then the average length of employment is (1/s).

The value of s is:

3. Calculate the natural rate of unemployment (U) using the above results and enter this value in the box below.

The natural rate of unemployment (in percent) is

1. From the question, we can see that it was said that took her one full week to get a job over the last 12 week summer break. The unemployment rate will be 12.

The value of f is: 12

2. From the question, the average length of the employment is 11/12 weeks. The rate of job separation will be: s = 12weeks ÷ 11 weeks

s = 1.090

The value of s is: 1.090

3. The natural rate of unemployment will be:

U = s/(s+f)

= 1.090/(1.090 + 12)

= 1.090/13.090

= 0.08327

At the beginning of the period, a company reported $100,000 of common stock, $10 par; and $50,000 paid-in capital in excess of p
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

$50,000

Explanation:

To calculate the amount of cash that the company received from selling common stock during the year 2 we can use the following formula:

cash received = (common stock year 2 - common stock year 1) + (paid in capital in excess of par year 2 - paid in capital in excess of par year 1) =  

cash received = ($110,000 - $100,000) + ($90,000 - $50,000) = $10,000 + $40,000 = $50,000

Answer:

Since there is not enough room here, I used an excel spreadsheet to answer the question.

Assets increased by $8,440

Stockholders' equity increased by $8,440

Revenues increased by $8,440

Cash flows increased by $6,040

Explanation:

The accounting equation: Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity, basically represents how the double entry accounting system works. One side (assets) must always be equal to the other side (liabilities + stockholders' equity).

Greenwood Company manufactures two products—14,000 units of Product Y and 6,000 units of Product Z. The company uses a plantwide
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Greenwood Company

1. Company's plantwide overhead rate = $57

2. Allocation of Manufacturing overhead based on plantwide overhead rate:

Product Y = $57 * 9,000 = $513,000

Product Z = $57 * 3,000 =  $171,000

3. Activity rate for the Machining activity cost pool = $20 per MHs.

4. Activity rate for the Machine Setups activity cost pool = $500 per setup.

5. Activity rate for the product Design activity cost pool = $42,000 per product.

6. Activity rate for the General Factory activity cost pool = $25

7. The batch-level activity = Machine setup

8. The product-level activity = Product Design

9. Using the ABC system, Manufacturing overhead cost assigned to Product Y = $447,000

10. Using the ABC system, Manufacturing overhead cost assigned to Product Z = $237,000

11. Using the plantwide overhead rate, the percentage of the total overhead costs allocated to product Y and Product Z is:

Product Y = 75% ($513,000/$684,000 * 100)

Product Z = 25% ($171,000/$684,000 * 100)

12. Using the ABC system, the percentage of the Machining costs assigned to Product Y and Product Z is:

Product Y = 80% ($160,000/$200,000 * 100)

Product Z = 20% ($40,000/$200,000 * 100)

13. Using the ABC system, the percentage of the Machine Setups cost assigned to Product Y and Product Z is:

Product Y = 20% ($20,000/$100,000 * 100)

Product Z = 80% ($80,000/$100,000 * 100)

14. Using the ABC system, what percentage of the product design cost assigned to Product Y and Product Z is:

Product Y = 50% ($42,000/$84,000 * 100)

Product Z = 50% ($42,000/$84,000 * 100)

15. Using the ABC system, what percentage of the General Factory cost assigned to Product Y and Product Z is:

Product Y = 75% ($225,000/$300,000 * 100)

Product Z = 25% ($75,000/$300,000 * 100)

A company is currently selling 10,000 units of product monthly for $40 per unit. The unit contribution margin is $27. The compan
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

The company should accept the idea because profit will increase by $24,000.

Explanation:

A company is currently selling 10,000 units of product monthly for $40 per unit.

The unit contribution margin is $27.

The company believes that spending $50,000 per month on advertising will allow them to increase the selling price to $45 and that sales will increase by 750 units per month.

The unit contribution margin is the difference between selling price and variable cost per unit.

An increase in the selling price of $5 will cause the contribution margin to increase by $5, from $27 to $32.

Profits is the product of contribution margin and number of output.

At initial price, the profit was

= 10,000\ \times\ \$ 27

= $270,000

At the new price the profit will be

= 10,750\ \times\ \$ 32  - $50,000

= $344,000 - $50,000

= $294,000

The increase in profit

= $294,000 - $270,000

= $24,000
