Answer:
Productivy would go up only as long as some of the workers can become competent managers.
Explanation:
The problem with worker ownership of the means of production (the firm), which is what socialism is about, is that workers do not necessarily have managerial skill, and as result, are likely to be unable to run the company efficiently.
In case this does not happen, and the workers manage to run the company well, GDP would increase because productivity in the firm would rise. Inflation would likely fall down because more productivity means more output of goods and services, and inflation tends to have a inverse relationship with output (although it also depends on other variables like the rate of growth of the money supply).
Finally, another macroeconomic variable that would positively affected is employment rate, because a more efficient company would likely require new workers.
What is true regarding static budgets? Select one: a. It is the budgeted amount used to calculate standard costs. b. It is the budgeted amount used to calculate the actual costs. c. It is also called moving or nonstationary budgets. d. All of the above
Answer:
b. It is the budgeted amount used to calculate the actual costs.
Explanation:
Static budget is the budget which remains the same even if there is some changes made but the flexible budget do not remain the same.
Moreover, the static budget is the main budget that used to prepare the standard cost by considering the budgeted activity level
Therefore it is the budget in which the budgeted amount should be considered in order to determine the actual cost that helps to make the flexible budget
New Gadgets, Inc., currently pays no dividend but is expected to pay its first annual dividend of $4.90 per share exactly 7 years from today. After that, the dividends are expected to grow at 3.5 percent forever. If the required return is 11.3 percent, what is the price of the stock today
Answer:
Price of stock today =$33.045
Explanation:
The price of a stock using the dividend valuation model is the present value of the the future dividend expected from the stock discounted at the required rate of return.
This model would be applied as follows
PV of the first dividend =
Dividend in year 7 × (1+r)^(-n)
r- 11.3%, n- 7
PV = 4.90× 1.113^(-7) = 2.315
Dividend in year 8 and beyond
PV (in year 7 terms) =4.90× 1.035/(0.113- 0.035)= 65.019
PV of dividend in year 0
=PV in year 7 × 1.113^(-7)
=65.019 × 1.113^(-7) = 30.73
Price of stock today = 2.315+ 30.73 = 33.045
Price of stock today =$33.045

Company X uses the accounts receivable ageing approach to estimate bad debt expense. Please calculate the December 31, 2018 allowance for doubtful accounts using the following information: The estimated loss rate for uncollectibility for each category is as follows: Up to 30 days due 3%, Up to 31 to 60 days due 6% and Over 60 days due 10%.
Before the December 31, 2018 calculations were made the allowance for doubtful accounts had a $500 Debit balance in it. The balances in the December 31, 2018 accounts receivable ageing schedule are as follows:
Up to 30 days due $100,000
Up to 31 to 60 days due $40,000
Over 60 days due $20,000
Answer:
Company X
Calculation of the December 31, 2018 Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:
Accounts Receivable balances Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Up to 30 days due $100,000 $3,000 (100,000 x 3%)
Up to 31 to 60 days due $40,000 $2,400 (40,000 x 6%)
Over 60 days due $20,000 $2,000 (20,000 x 10%)
Total Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $7,400
Explanation:
The 2018 Uncollectible Expenses will be $7,900 ($7,400 + 500).
Using the ageing method, each class of account receivable balance is applied the estimated rate of uncollectible. Then, these are summed to give the amount estimated as the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for the year. The resulting figure is compared with the balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts to determine the amount of the Uncollectible Expenses which is taken to the income summary for the period.

A manufacturer that sells _ is most likely to employ personal selling.
A. Scissors with a safety attachment.
B. Generic tea at a low cost.
C. Private jets to people.
D. Packaged chips all over the world.
Answer:
C. Private jets to people.
Explanation:
Personal selling refers to a strategy in which the sales people meet with the customer to convince him/her to buy the product. This strategy is used when the goods of services are costly or technical. According to this, the answer is that a manufacturer that sells private jets to people is most likely to employ personal selling because it is an specialized and costly product that requires to meet the customer to be able to explain everything and encourage him/her to make the purchase.
The other options are not right because they are cheaper products and don't require the sales people to meet with the customer to be able to sell them.
A mandatory seatbelt law ends up raising the number of traffic fatalities if it lowers fatalities per accident from 0.10 to 0.07 while raising the number of accidents per period from 35,000 to any more than:_______
Answer: 50,000
Explanation:
The question shows that at the current number of accident per period which is 35,000, 0.1 fatalities are recorded.
If the new seat belt law reduces the fatality rate from 0.1 to 0.07, how many accidents would have to occur for the new law to match the previous fatality rate given the previous number of accidents.
Let the new number of accidents be x;
35,000 * 0.1 = 0.07 * x
3,500 = 0.07x
x = 3,500/0.07
= 50,000
At 50,000 accidents, the new law will cause the same amount of fatalities than before. Anything more than 50,000 would lead to more fatalities than before.

A company operates in a perfectly competitive market, selling each unit of output for a price of $20 and paying the market wage of $360 per day for each worker it hires. In the following table, complete the column for the marginal revenue product of labor (MRP) at each quantity of workers.
Labor Output Marginal Product of Labor Marginal Revenue Product of Labor
(Number of workers) (Units of output) (Units of output) (Dollars)
0 0 - -
1 20 20
2 39 19
3 57 18
4 72 15
5 84 12
Answer: The answer is given below
Explanation:
The marginal revenue product of labor (MRPL) is an additional amount of revenue that a firm will make when it hires one additional employee. The formula and r calculating
MRPL = marginal product of labour x marginal revenue.
It should be noted that P = MC = MR. Therefore marginal revenue will be $20.
Therefore when:
MPPL = 0
MRPL = 0 × 20 = 0
MPPL = 20
MRPL = 20 ×20 = 400
MPPL = 19
MRPL = 19 × 20 = 380
MPPL = 18
MRPL = 18 × 20 = 360
MPPL = 15
MRPL = 15 × 20 = 300
MPPL = 12
MRPL = 12 × 20 = 240
Check the attached file for the table.
The completion of the column for the marginal revenue product of labor (MRP) is as follows:
Labor (Number of Output Marginal Product of Value of the
workers) (Units of output) Labor (Units of output) Marginal Product
of Labor (Dollars)
1 20 20 $400 (20 x $20)
2 39 19 $380 (19 x $20)
3 57 18 $360 (18 x $20)
4 72 15 $300 (15 x $20)
5 84 12 $240 (12 x $20)
The marginal revenue product of labor (MRPL) shows the additional amount of revenue the firm generates when it adds one additional employee to its labor force. It is the product from the multiplication of the marginal product of labor by the selling price of output.
Thus, according to the law of Marginal Revenue Product of Labor, the company will demand more labor until its MRPL equals the wage rate, that is at $360.

Galvatron Metals has a bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 6.3 percent and semiannual payments. The bond currently sells for $1,919 and matures in 17 years. The par value is $2,000 and the company's tax rate is 39 percent. What is the company's aftertax cost of debt?
Answer:
4.09%
Explanation:
For computing the after cost of debt we have to applied the RATE formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Present value = $1,919
Future value or Face value = $2,000
PMT = 2,000 × 6.3% ÷ 2 = $63
NPER = 17 years × 2 = 34 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV,type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying the above formula,
1. The pretax cost of debt is 3.35% × 2 = 6.70%
2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be
= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)
= 6.70% × ( 1 - 0.39)
= 4.09%

On January 1, the Matthews Band pays $65,800 for sound equipment. The band estimates it will use this equipment for four years and perform 200 concerts. It estimates that after four years it can sell the equipment for $2,000. During the first year, the band performs 45 concerts. Compute the first-year depreciation using the units-of-production method. g
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $14,355
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Original cost= $65,800
Number of units= 200
Salvage value= $2,000
During the first year, the band performs 45 concerts.
To calculate the annual depreciation under the units-of- production method, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in units]*units operated
Annual depreciation= [(65,800 - 2,000)/200]*45
Annual depreciation= $14,355

hence, Total direct labor cost=230*$56
Total direct labor cost=$12,880
Actual overhead applied cost=total required labour hours*Appliead overhead cost
hence, Actual overhead applied cost=230*$68
Actual overhead applied cost=$15,640
Therefore, Total estimated cost=$12,880+$15,640
Total estimated cost=$28,520
The total estimated cost for this job is $28,520
Which of the following accounts will only be found in the chart of accounts of a merchandising company? a. Accounts Payable b. Accounts Receivable c. Inventory d. Sales
Answer:
c. Inventory

A merchandising company is one that specialises in buying and reselling goods. Profit is made by selling goods at higher prices than they were bought.
Merchandising companies can be wholesale or retail businesses.
Because of the nature of their business merchandising companies usually make use of storage facilities to stock goods. This nesecitates the use of an inventory account to monitor inflow and outflow of goods.
Therefore inventory account is used only by merchandising companies
Answer:
The answer is C. Inventory
Explanation:
Meerchandising company is a company that buys goods(inventories) and resells them later at a price higher than the purchase price.
We have two types of merchandising companies:

EVA/MVA The financial statements reflect historical data, but managers' performance must be evaluated on the basis of values. To provide this information, financial analysts have developed two measures: Market Value Added (MVA) and Economic Value Added (EVA). Market Value Added represents the difference between the money stockholders have invested in the firm versus the cash they could receive if the firm were sold. The equation for MVA is:
Answer:
MVA = (Shares outstanding * Stock price) - Total common equity
Explanation:
Market value added is the excess of equity over its book value. It is the difference between money invested by stockholders and the cash they will receive if the company is sold. The higher MVA of a company means performance of the company management is good and is in the favor of stockholders.
Juggernaut Satellite Corporation earned $18.5 million for the fiscal year ending yesterday. The firm also paid out 40 percent of its earnings as dividends yesterday. The firm will continue to pay out 40 percent of its earnings as annual, end-of-year dividends. The remaining 60 percent of earnings is retained by the company for use in projects. The company has 2 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current stock price is $80. The historical return on equity (ROE) of 14 percent is expected to continue in the future.
What is the required rate of return on the stock?
Answer:
13.41%
Explanation:
Last Year: Earnings = $18,500,000
Shares Outstanding = 2,000,000
Earnings per share = Earnings / Shares Outstanding
= $18,500,000 / 2,000,000
= $9.25
Dividend per share, D0 = Earnings per share * Payout Ratio
Dividend per share, D0 = $9.25 * 40%
Dividend per share, D0 = $3.70
Retention Ratio = 60%
Return on Equity = 14%
Growth Rate, g = Return on Equity * Retention ratio
Growth Rate, g = 14% * 0.60
Growth Rate, g = 8.40%
Current Price, P0 = $80.00
Next Year: Dividend per share, D1 = D0 * (1 + g)
Dividend per share, D1 = $3.70 * (1 + 8.40%)
Dividend per share, D1 = $3.70 * 1.084
Dividend per share, D1 = $4.0108
Required Rate of Return = D1 / P0 + g
= $4.0108 / $80.00 + 0.0840
= 0.0501 + 0.0840
= 0.1341
= 13.41%

You just won a prize that will pay you $800 today and $500 a year for the next three years. Which is the correct formula for computing the present value as of today at 6 percent?
a. PV = $500/1.06 + $500/1.062+ $500/1.063
b. PV = $800 PV $800/1.06$500/1.06+$500/1.06 $500/1.06
c. PV =$800+ $500/1.06 $500/1.06+ $500/1.061
d. PV = $800(1.06)+ $500 +$500/1.06 $500/1.06
Answer:
Total PV= 800 + 500/1.06^1 + 500/1.06^2 + 500/1.06^3
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flows:
Cf0= $800
Cf1= $500
Cf2= $500
Cf3= $500
Discount rate= 6%
The $800 is received today, therefore, it is already its present value.
For the cash flow for the next three years, we need to use the following formula on each cash flow.
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
Total PV= 800 + 500/1.06 + 500/1.06^2 + 500/1.06^3

PWD Incorporated is an Illinois corporation. It properly included, deducted, or excluded the following items on its federal tax return in the current year: Item Amount Federal Treatment Illinois income taxes $ 33,361 Deducted on federal return Indiana income taxes $ 18,480 Deducted on federal return Ohio Commercial Activity Tax $ 3,992 Deducted on federal return Illinois municipal bond interest $ 9,984 Excluded from federal return Indiana municipal bond interest $ 15,100 Excluded from federal return Federal T-note interest $ 2,492 Included on federal return PWD's federal taxable income was $104,000. Calculate PWD's Illinois state tax base.
Answer:
PWD's Illinois state tax base = $168,449
Explanation:
DATA
Illinois income taxes = $33,361
indiana income taxes = $18,480
Illinois municipal bond interest = $9,984
Indiana municipal bond interest = $15,100
Federal T-note interest = $2,492
Federal taxable income = $104,000
PWD's Tax Base = ?
Solution
PWD's Illinois Tax base can be calculated as follows
Formula
Illinois state tax base = Federal taxable income+Indiana income taxes+Illinois income taxes+Indiana municipal bond interest – federal t-note interest
Illinois state tax base = $104,000 + $18,480 + $33,361 + $15,100 - $2,492
PWD's Illinois state tax base = $168,449
_____ innovation involves making slight modifications to existing products in an effort to distinguish a product from the competition.
Answer:Continuous
Explanation:
"Given the fact that both the Navy and the Air Force regularly fly pilotless aircraft for surveillance and combat missions, the idea of a driverless fork truck seems somewhat of a no-brainer. Why not pilotless cargo aircraft such as FedEx and UPS? Why not semi-trucks moving intercity without drivers? How would your answer differ if we had high-ways that were dedicated to truck-only traffic, either on an exclusive or time-allocated basis? Where do you think the concept of probotics will eventually end up? "
Answer:
If we had highways available to truck-only traffic then the question will need to contemplate on is if the truck-only highways will enable only driver less trucks or the conventional trucks as well.
Also humans are susceptible to error. while machines usually follow strict rules.
These two different methods to driving and could cause problems and also accidents. the only method accomplish driver less trucks is to ensure truck-only highways exclusive to driver less trucks.
The idea of robotics and automations will keep growing. we may have, automated vehicles on the road in the next 20 years.
Similarly automation is set to change our home, roads, cars and how we do business today.
Explanation:
Solution
There are different reasons why we do not see driver less fork truck or pilot less cargo aircraft. but the key reasons behind them can be is stated below:
(1)Technology: The technology behind driver less truck or pilot less aircraft are still very fresh. This implies that the use of this technology is extremely high. at some point it may even include national security concern. this is the reason why the technology is not available openly to public and business organization cannot use them for their customers.
(2)Safety: Pilot less aircraft for surveillance carries a particular risk. we need to know that the workmanship of Navy and Air Force is part of these risk. Thus, the normal everyday jobs like businesses and operations do not take such high risk.
A pilot less aircraft’s crash could result in damage to lives and property and brings other issues. with the new technology the risks we go higher and best not used for mass/public consumption.
(3)Regulations: Any new design of operation often needs the government approval. Driver less cars as of now are only at its initial stage of creation. But, before this becomes a common mode of transportation, the government consent may be required.
The infrastructure needs to be present for such vehicles. These requires a lot of effort and preparation, which is not available at the moment.
Now
If we had highways assigned to truck-only traffic then the question will still be if the truck-only highways will permit only driver less trucks or the conventional trucks as well.
The problem is if we mix them. humans are liable to error and also capable of improvisation. while machines do follow strict rules. these two different methods to driving and could cause confusion and also accidents. the only way to accomplish driver less trucks is to ensure truck-only highways exclusive to driver less trucks.
The idea of robotics and automations will keep growing. we may have, automated vehicles on the road in the next 20 years (in some countries). Similarly automation is set to change our home, roads, cars and how we run business today.
For Instance, in future we could be living in a completely automated house, being taken to work by automated public/private transport and even travelling to other countries in a pilot less airplanes.
The average American’s real income today is about four times what it was in _________.

Answer:
The average American’s real income today is about four times what it was in 1960. Average lifetime lengths have increased by 12%, the number of hours worked per week has decreased by 17% , and homes have more than doubled in size.
Explanation;
Economic data shows that Americans make on average, about 4 times what they were making in real income in 1960 due to exponential economic growth.
At the same time, Americans are also living a longer life by 12% on average than in 1960 when the life expectancy was around 70 years. Today it is around 78 years.
Americans are also working fewer hours than their 1960 counterparts because where in 1960 they worked for an average of 50 hours a week, recently that number hovers around 40 hours a week.
Houses built are also larger than they were in the '60s as income has increased and preferences have changed.
Minor Electric has received a special one-time order for 1,200 light fixtures (units) at $18 per unit. Minor currently produces and sells 6,000 units at $19.00 each. This level represents 75% of its capacity. Production costs for these units are $24.00 per unit, which includes $16.00 variable cost and $8.00 fixed cost. To produce the special order, a new machine needs to be purchased at a cost of $800 with a zero salvage value. Management expects no other changes in costs as a result of the additional production. If Minor wishes to earn $1,600 on the special order, the size of the order would need to be:
Answer:
the size of the special order should be 1,200 in order to generate profits of $1,600
Explanation:
special order 1,200 units at $18 per unit = $21,600
current spare capacity 2,000 units
relevant production costs:
variable costs $16 per unitadditional fixed costs $800total relevant costs = ($16 x 1,200) + $800 = $20,000
profits generated by special order = $21,600 - $20,000 = $1,600
with this special order (1,200 units) you can make $1,600 in profits
