Consider the economy of Athenia. In 2018, Athenia has a GDP of $100 billion and a net national debt of $50 billion. Over the next 5 years, Athenia experiences economic growth, increasing its GDP to $120 billion in 2023. During the same 5 year period, the net national debt increases to $55 billion. Calculate Athenia's debt ratio for 2018 and 2023.
Answer:
2018 50 %
2023 45.8%
Explanation:
Calculation for Athenia's debt ratio for 2018 and 2023
Calculation for 2018 Athenia’s debt ratio using this formula
2018 Athenia’s debt ratio=2018 Net national debt/2018 GDP
Let plug in the formula
2018 Athenia’s debt ratio= ( $50 billion/$100 billion)
2018 Athenia’s debt ratio =50 %
Calculation for 2023 Athenia’s debt ratio Using this formula
2023 Athenia’s debt ratio=2023 Increase in Net national debt/2023 Increase in GDP
Let plug in the formula
2023 Athenia ‘s debt ratio ($55 billion/$120 billion )
2023 Athenia ‘s debt ratio=45.8%
Therefore Athenia's debt ratio for 2018 will be $50% and 2023 will be 45.8%
A perfectly competitive firm should shut down immediately in order to incur only fixed costs whenever the price is
Answer:
This question is incomplete, the options are the following:
a) Higher than the average total cost.
b) Higher than the average variable cost.
c) Lower than the break-profit point.
d) Lower than the average variable cost.
And the correct answer is the option D: Lower than the average variable cost.
Explanation:
To begin with, a perfect competitive firms works in a market that has an homogeneous product as well as a lot of sellers and consumers so therefore that they are all price takers given the forces of the market and their interactions. Moreover, in the proper graphic of the perfect competition market the different cost curves and the incomes curves will show how the market behaves according to the quantities and the prices given for those quantities. So the firm will always have to shut down the production when in the graphic the price is lower than the average variable cost given the fact that from that point down the firm will not be able for cover the fixed costs.

If you had a business that was growing but you needed a rather large infusion of cash to expand the business to meet demand (if you don't the demand will likely be met by competitors or open the door to new competitors) which type of financing would you choose and why? There is also the possibility of equity (stock) financing. The key is that if we finance a business by selling stock (equity financing) we give up some or a lot of control over the business.
Answer:
I would choose equity financing.
Explanation:
The reason is that in the first stages of a business, it is hard to obtain debt financing, even if the company is growing, because financial institutions assess risk, but also corporate perfomance in terms of liquidity, profitability, and efficiency, and these assessments may not be good enough in a young company for a financial institution to approve the loan.
For this reason, equity financing becomes a better alternative, even if some control of the company has to be given away. In order to reduce such control loss, a mix of common stock and preferred stock could be issued, with preferred stock holders having more entitlements to dividends, but no entitlements to corporate control.
A stock has an HPR of 9%. The expected dividend yield is 3%.
a. True
b. False
The expected price appreciation is 12%.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
b. False
Explanation:
holding period return = [dividends received + (ending value - initial value)] / initial value
9% = [dividends received + (ending value - initial value)] / initial value
dividend yield = dividend / ending value
3% = dividend / ending value
price appreciation = (ending value / initial value) - 1
1.12 = ending value / initial value
ending value = 1.12 initial value ⇒ WE REPLACE IN THE HPR ANN DY FORMULAS
3% = dividend / 0.12 initial value
dividend = 0.36 initial value
9% = [dividends received + (1.12 initial - initial value)] / initial value
9% = dividends received + (0.12 initial value / initial value)
9% = dividends received + 12%
9% = 0.36 initial value + 12%
-3% = 0.36 initial value ⇒ THIS CANNOT BE TRUE, SO THE QUESTION MUST BE FALSE

Amy is considering investing in a project that is expected to return $75,000 five years from now. How much is she willing to pay for this investment if she wants a 10% return
Answer:
$46,569.10
Explanation:
The worth of the project today is the present value of the return expected in 5 years using the interest rate of return of 10% as the discount rate as computed below:
PV=FV/(1+r)^n
PV=today's worth of the project which is unknown
FV=future amount expected=$75,000
r=interest rate=10%
n=the time before the return is received=5 years
PV=$75,000/(1+10%)^5
PV=$75,000/(1.1)^5
PV=$75,000/1.61051
PV=$46,569.10

During the current year, Tucker had the following personal casualty gains and losses (after deducting the $100 floor):
Asset Holding Period Gain or (Loss)
Asset 1 18 months ($26,300)
Asset 2 2 months 15,780
Asset 3 3 years 32,875
Required:
What are the tax consequences of these items to Tucker?
Answer:
$22,355 will be taxed as long term capital gains
Explanation:
First of all, casualty gains or losses result from events that are not business related, e.g. your house burnt down. Casualty gains occur when an insurance company or another third party pays for the damage that resulted from a casualty loss. If the reimbursement is larger than the asset's basis, an involuntary conversion gain results. Involuntary conversion gain or net casualty gains are taxed as long term capital gains if the holding period is more than 1 year.
Tucker's net casualty gains = ($15,780 + $32,875) - $26,300 = $22,355
Since capital gains taxes are lower than ordinary income taxes, Tucker will have to pay between either 0%, 15% or 20% as capital gains tax rate.

Globalization forces small businesses to compete worldwide. The result of globalization is that operation manager (OM) or owner must do which of the following to stay competitive:
Answer:
- Making sure the cost of their asset management is as low as possible
- Maximize their product delivery
- Making sure that their price of operation is efficient
- making sure price of their product is competitive
Explanation:
Due to globalization, businesses are forced to compete on foreign markets that they might not be familiar with. In such situations, lowering cost of production while maintaining the quality of their products is the best thing that they can do to maintain a healthy profit margin. This can be done by lowering the cost that they need to make maintenance of their assets and minimizing the cost they need to acquire materials.

Helen Martin is interested in buying a five-year zero coupon bond with a face value of $1,000. She understands that the market interest rate for similar investments is 8.5 percent. Assume annual coupon payments. What is the current value of this bond
Answer:
the current value of the bond is $665.05
Explanation:
The computation of the current value of the bond is shown below:
Current Value = Face value ÷ ( 1 + rate of interest)^time period
= $1,000 ÷ (1 + 0.085)^5
= $1,000 ÷ (1.085)^5
= $1,000 ÷ 1.503657
= $665.045423
= $665.05
hence, the current value of the bond is $665.05
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

The manufacturing process used to make a wide variety of highly customized products typically in small quantities as small as one is a:_____
Answer:
"Job Shop" would be the appropriate solution.
Explanation:
A workshop seems to be a small enterprise or organization that makes unique items within one person at the same time. It is a production unit that deals in tailor-made including custom-built components in limited amounts. Under that same production or manufacturing economy, a large number of products are manufactured with smaller quantities requiring a remarkable setup as well as production measures.The investor is worried that the beta of his portfolio is too high, so he wants to sell some stock C and add stock D, which has a beta of 1.0, to his portfolio. If the investor wants his portfolio to have a beta of 1.72, how much stock C must he replace with stock D
Answer: $36,000
Explanation:
First calculate the individual weights for the different stocks as this will help with the calculation of beta.
Total amount invested = 16,000 + 48,000 + 96,000 = $160,000
Stock A weight = 16,000/160,000 = 10%
Stock B weight = 48,000/160,000 = 30%
Stock C weight = 96,000/160,000 = 60%
Stock D is to be bought by replacing some of stock C which means that the weight of stock C in the new beta calculation will be exactly less than 60% by the weight of D.
Assuming the weight of d is x, beta is;
Portfolio beta = ∑(weight of stock * beta)
1.72 = (10% * 1.3) + (30% * 1.8) + ((60% - x) * 2.2) + ( x * 1)
1.72 = 0.13 + 0.54 + 1.32 - 2.2x + x
1.72 = 1.99 - 1.2x
1.2x = 1.99 - 1.72
x = (1.99 - 1.72) / 1.2
x = 0.225
Weight of stock D will be 0.225 which is how much of stock C will have to be sold.
The amount of stock C that should be replaced by D is therefore;
= 160,000 * 0.225
= $36,000
