As a result, the number of flu vaccines available in the United States market decreased by 48 million doses. This was nearly half of the total supply of vaccines in the market. Required:
a. Shift the appropriate curve or curves to show this dramatic change in the market for flu vaccines.
b. use a supply and demand diagram to illustrate the impact of this event on the market to vaccines in the United States. What impact will this have on the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity in the U. S. vaccine market?

If a firm plans to issue new stock, flotation costs (investment bankers' fees) should not be ignored. there are two approaches to use to account for flotation costs. the first approach is to add the sum of flotation costs for the debt, preferred, and common stock and add them to the initial investment cost. because the investment cost is increased, the project's expected return is reduced so it may not meet the firm's hurdle rate for acceptance of the project. the second approach involves adjusting the cost of common equity as follows: . the difference between the flotation-adjusted cost of equity and the cost of equity calculated without the flotation adjustment represents the flotation cost adjustment. quantitative problem: barton industries expects next year's annual dividend, d1, to be $1.90 and it expects dividends to grow at a constant rate g = 4.3%. the firm's current common stock price, p0, is $22.00. if it needs to issue new common stock, the firm will encounter a 6% flotation cost, f. assume that the cost of equity calculated without the flotation adjustment is 12% and the cost of old common equity is 11.5%. what is the flotation cost adjustment that must be added to its cost of retaine

Harwood company uses a job-order costing system that applies overhead cost to jobs on the basis of machine-hours. the company's predetermined overhead rate of $2.50 per machine-hour was based on a cost formula that estimates $240,000 of total manufacturing overhead for an estimated activity level of 96,000 machine-hours. required: 1. assume that during the year the company works only 91,000 machine-hours and incurs the following costs in the manufacturing overhead and work in process accounts: compute the amount of overhead cost that would be applied to work in process for the year and make the entry in your t-accounts. 2a. compute the amount of underapplied or overapplied overhead for the year and show the balance in your manufacturing overhead t-account. 2b. prepare a journal entry to close the company's underapplied or overapplied overhead to cost of goods sold.
