Explanation:

Every country operate in a different yet similar system of both political and social affairs. In terms of political differences, some countries have parliamentary governments while some countries like the US have presidential governments.

Regardless of how each country operate politically, most of the operational system of these countries are embedded in democracy and the general welfare of its citizens. The differences occur because of these operational systems of each country. They could differ in policies, reforms or laws which are based on the interests of its people and the nation.

In economic terms, the differences occur when governments prioritize what economic policies or model they choose to implement. Economic systems of a country change according to the need of the times. For instance,  China initially, after its independence, chose to remain a closed economy until it reformed its policies in 1978 to finally open up the country.

Legal systems of countries differ from one another as every country use a civil law system based on its cultural, social, political and historical circumstances. For instance, in US each state has the power to establish its own legal procedures while in some country, every state must follow a uniform civil code.

As we know the political economy refers to both the political and economic systems of a country, management practice of national differences is important to taken into account before securing economic relations with another country. Management practice of national differences helps in finding favorable economic and political systems around the world for a country to make both economic and political partnership with.

Answer:

This is an example of barter

Explanation:

Barter in trade, is a term used to describe a system of exchange where goods  and services are exchanged for other goods or services directly. It is used most often in international trading, when there is a financial crisis, or when currency is unstable.

Barter is advantageous when money is in short supply, and when traders cannot afford to store a short supply of money, especially during hyperinflation.

However, there are some challenges with barter, which includes:

that both parties might not have what each other need in goods (double coincidence of wants), there is no common measure of value and indivisibility of certain goods when only half the worth is to be exchanged.

Answer:

a.

2.5%

b.

2.45%

Explanation:

The approximate real rate of return can be derived from nominal rate of return formula given below:

nominal rate of return=real rate of return+inflation rate

real rate of return=nominal rate of return-inflation rate

real rate of return= 4.7%-2.2%=2.5%

The exact real rate of return can be derived from exact real rate of return formula given below

real rate of return=(1+nominal rate of return)/(1+inflation rate)-1

real rate of return=(1+4.7%)/(1+2.2%)-1

real rate of return=1.02446184 -1=2.45%

Answer:

4. Resources.

Explanation:

In this scenario, Mark and Joseph are junior photographers with Iclick Studios. Both of them are professional and sincere. However, Mark is recognized as the top performer among Iclick's entry-level employees. This was possible because he acquired the license to use the latest photo editing application, while Joseph did not. According to the performance formula, the resources acquired helped Mark achieve this feat.

Resources in economics can be defined as a set of tangible assets or materials that are used for the production of goods or used for the rendering of services that meets the insatiable needs of people at a specific period of time.

In Economics, resources can either be any of the four (4) factors of production and these are;

1. Land.

2. Entrepreneurship.

3. Labor.

4. Capital.

In this context, Mark is the top performer among Iclick's entry-level employees because he acquired the license to use the latest photo editing application (a scarce but desired resources), while his colleague, Joseph did not.

Answer:

Margin in Dee's account when she first purchase the stock is $8,000

The total value of stock purchased = $40 × 300 shares = $12,000

Since the amount borrowed from the broker is $4,000. Therefore, Dee's margin will be calculated as;

= Total purchase price - Net borrowing

= $12,000 - $4,000

= $8,000

Answer:

If the division is operating at full capacity and selling all the units that it produces, then it must treat the other division as a normal customer, so the selling price should be the same ($160 per unit). The company is currently making $110 in profits per unit sold (= $160 - $30 - $20 = $110).

If the division sold their products at a lower price, they would be losing money, and no division wants to lose money in order to benefit another division and make them earn higher profits.

If the division was operating below full capacity, then it could sell their products at a lower value.

Answer:

Hello from your question there is a mix up of the figures for the BTCF AFTER 2 years and the BTCF given in the table so i would work with the value contained in the table i.e ( 25579  )

answer : 71052

Explanation:

Declining balance amount can be expressed/calculated using this formula a

[tex]\frac{1.5}{N} ; d_{k} = B ( 1 - k )^{k-1} (R ) ;\\ Bv_{k} = B ( 1 - R )^{k}[/tex]    also R = 1.5 / 5 = 0.3 , k = 2 years

therefore Bv[tex]_{2}[/tex] = 20000 ( 1 - 0.3 [tex])^{2}[/tex] = 9800

Mv = 25579

Recapturing depreciation = Mv - Bv = 25579 - 9800 = 15779

BTCF is calculated as = ( capital investment + GI - expense incurred )

TI = GI - Expense - Depreciation + Depreciation recapture + capital gain

ATCF = BTCF - taxes

taxes = TI (l)

The future worth of the after-tax cash flow at the end of Year 2

Fw = -20000(f/p,12%,2) + 36600(f/p,12,1) + 35880 + 19268

= -20000(1.2544) + 36600(1.1200) + 55148 = 71052

Answer:

The margin of safety in dollars is $611,200 and the margin of safety percent is 32%

Explanation:

In order to calculate the margin of safety in dollars and as a percent of expected sales If the company expects sales of 10,000 units we would have to calculate the following:

margin of safety in dollars=Margin of Safety units*sold price

sold price=$191 per unit

Margin of Safety units = Sales - Breakeven units

sales=10,000 units

Breakeven units = Fixed cost/Contribution margin per unit

B reakeven units= $455,600/($191-$124) =

B reakeven units= 6800

Margin of Safety units =10,000 - 6.800

Margin of Safety units =3,200

Therefore, Margin of Safety in dollars = 3,200*$191

Margin of Safety in dollars =$611,200

Margin of Safety percent=Margin of Safety units/sales

Margin of Safety percent= 3,200/10,000

Margin of Safety percent=32%

The margin of safety in dollars is $611,200 and the margin of safety percent is 32%

Answer:

Project Net Present Value = $943,724.89

Explanation:

The NPV is the difference between the PV of cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good investment decision and a negative figure implies the opposite.  

NPV of an investment:  

NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of cash outflow    

PV of cash inflow=   $375,000 ×1.07^(-1) + (475,000×  1.07^(-2)+ 425,000× 1.07^(-3) + 500,000 × 1.07^(-4) = 1,493,724.889

Initial cost = 550,000

NPV = 1,493,724.88  - 550,000 = 943,724.89

Project Net Present Value = $943,724.89

The available options are:

a. would; between 1,000 and 1,800; more than 100

•b. would; greater than 1,800; more than 100

•c. would not; less than 1,000; less than 300

•d. would not; between 1,000 and 1,800; less than 100

Answer:

•b. would; greater than 1,800; more than 100

1.  Would

2.  Greater than 1,800

3.  More than 100

Explanation:

Given that, Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) is a term that describes the measure of market concentration and is often used to assess the market competitiveness, most specifically during the pre- and post Mergers and Acquisitions transactions.

Also, it should be noted that, as a general rule, mergers that increase the HHI by more than 200 points in highly concentrated markets raise antitrust concerns.

Thus, a 100% market share, equates to Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) 10,000. However, since all the five firms are of equal sizes of Market shares then, the HHI is calculated as:

= 100%/ 5 firms = 20% each

= 20² + 20² + 20² + 20² + 20²

= 400 + 400 + 400 + 400 + 400

= 2000 (this is greater than 1800)

Then, since it is two firms that are merging,

The HHI is calculated as:

= 20² + 20²

= 400 + 400

= 800 ( an increase of 400, which is more than 100)

Hence, suppose an industry consists of five equal-sized firms. Two of the firms plan to merge. The merger WOULD raise anti-trust concerns at the Justice Department given that the Herfindahl index before the merger was GREATER THAN 1800 and the merger would cause the Herfindahl index to rise by MORE THAN 100.

Answer:

Cost of preferred stock=5.17%

Explanation:

A preferred stock entitles its investor to a fixed amount of dividend for the foreseeable future. The dividend payable by a preferred stock is similar to a perpetuity. Hence, the price of the stock would be the same as the present value of the dividend payable for the foreseeable future.

A preferred stock entitles its owner to a fixed amount of dividend. It is calculated as follows:

Cost of preferred stock = (Preference dividend/stock price ) × 100

Preference dividend = Coupon rate × Nominal value

DATA

Coupon = 4.80%

Nominal Value = 100

Stock price =  $92.78

Preference dividend = 4.80% × 100=4.8

Cost of preferred stock = 4.8/92.78×  100 = 5.17%

Cost of preferred stock=5.17%

Answer: Combination of allowing backorder for short-term demand surges and building anticipation inventories.

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the Driftbuster Sno-Mobile repair company has a seasonal demand for its service, and there is a general shortage of skilled Sno-Mobile mechanics in its region.

Based on the situation above, the planning choice is to allow backorder for short-term demand surges and build anticipation inventories. Since demand is seasonal, it's vital for the company to build anticipation inventories. It's also important for the company to create orders for short term surges.

Answer:

income elasticity is less than one - water

 income elasticity is greater than one - designer handbag

Explanation:

Normal goods are goods whose demand increases when income increases and falls when income falls.

When income elasticity is less than one it is known as inelastic demand and when income elasticity is greater than one, it is known as elastic demand,

necessity goods are examples of goods with inelastic demand. for example, water. one cant do without water as it is needed for survival. if income increases, there would be little or no change in quantity demanded

luxury goods typically have an elastic demand. as income increases, more of the good would be demanded. an example of a luxury good is a designer handbag

Answer:

The required adjusting entry at the end of year 3 will include a debit to:

Supplies Expenses Account of $43,500 ($8,000 + 50,000 - 14,500), and a credit to Supplies Account in the sum of $43,500.

Explanation:

Adjusting entries are made at the end of an accounting period to bring the accounts in line with the accrual concept, which requires that expenses and revenue should be recognized in the period they are incurred or earned.

This implies that transactions should not be based solely on when cash is received or payment made.  Expenses incurred but not yet paid should be recognized in the accounts of the period.  Revenue earned but not yet received in cash should be accounted for in the period when the revenue is earned.  Expenses paid in advance should not be recognized in determining net income.  Revenue collected but not yet earned should not be included in the period's accounts for determining net income.  Finally, non-cash expenses (depreciation) should be recognized in the period they are incurred.

Answer:

Explanation:

Since not much information has been provided, the two most likely reasons as to why this has not been done would be the following,

One would be that the supervisor did not understand your request due to language barriers that you are not accustomed to since this is your first time working in an Indian office.

The Second most likely reason is that it is not the supervisors job to move your office furniture around. The supervisor is a higher position than manager and his primary responsibility is to look over your performance and make sure that you are doing what you have been hired to do.

Answer:

Effect on income= 4,289.25 increase

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Units sold= 7,525

Tax rate is 43 percent.

Increase in the selling price= $1

If all costs remain constant, we need to calculate the increase in contribution margin and the tax effect.

Effect on income:

Contribution marin= 7,525*1= 7,525

Tax= 7,525*0.43= (3,235.75)

Effect on income= 4,289.25 increase

Answer:

Element 1 = 4.17 Observed time

Element 2 = 1.77 Observed time

Element 3 = 3.33 Observed time

Element 4 = 2.8 Observed time

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the observed time (OT) for each element

Based on the information given we have 4 Element and 6 Cycle for Element 1,3 and 4 while Element 2 has 3 cycle

First step is sum up each element cycle i.e addition of cycle 1 to cycle 6

Element Cycle 1 Cycle 2 Cycle 3 Cycle 4 Cycle 5 Cycle 6

1. 4.1 +4.0 +4.6 + 4.1 +4.1 + 4.1 = 25

2. - 1.5 - 2.4 - 1.4 =(1.5+2.4+1.4)=5.3

3. 3.2 +3.2 +3.8 +3.2+ 3.3 +3.3= 20

4. 2.7 +3.0 +2.7 +2.8 +2.8+ 2.8 = 16.8

Now let find the Observed time by dividing the figure that was sum up for each of the element by the numbers of cycle that each element has.

OBSERVED TIME

Element Cycle 1 Cycle 2 Cycle 3 Cycle 4 Cycle 5 Cycle 6

1. 4.1 +4.0 +4.6 + 4.1 +4.1 + 4.1 = 25/6= 4.17 Observed time

2. - 1.5 - 2.4 - 1.4 =(1.5+2.4+1.4)=5.3/3=1.77 Observed time

3. 3.2 +3.2 +3.8 +3.2+ 3.3 +3.3= 20/6= 3.33 Observed time

4. 2.7 +3.0 +2.7 +2.8 +2.8+ 2.8 = 16.8/6=2.8 Observed time

The question is about the observed time cycles of 4 given elements.

OT of each cycles will be added together for each element. and divided by total number of cycles for each element.

1 4.1+4.0+4.6+4.1+4.1+4.1 = 25 / 6 = 4.17

2 -1.5 -2.4 -1.4 = 5.3 / 3 = 1.77

3 3.2+3.2+3.8+3.2+3.3+3.3 = 20 / 6 = 3.33

4 2.7+3.0+2.7+2.8+2.8+2.8 = 16.8 / 6 = 2.8

Each elements total cycle OT is added and then it is divided with each elements relevant number of cycles and this as a result provides the answer to the question

Answer:

The demand forecast for the four quarters of the year of 17 is

Demand for winter of year 17 = 83.96 million kWh

Demand for spring of year 17 = 115.92 million kWh

Demand for summer of year 17 = 148.13 million kWh

Demand for fall of year 17 = 74.37 million kWh

Explanation:

The North Dakota Electric Company estimates its demand trend line by the following equation.

[tex]D = 77 + 0.43Q[/tex]

Where Q is the sequential quarter number.

The multiplicative seasonal factors are as follows:

winter = 0.8

spring = 1.1

summer = 1.4

fall = 0.7

We are asked to find the forecast for the four quarters of the year of 17.

Since the quarter numbers are sequential,

Q =  1 + 16×4

Q = 65 for winter of year 17

Q = 66 for spring of year 17

Q = 67 for summer of year 17

Q = 68 for fall of year 17

Demand Winter year 17:

[tex]D = 77 + 0.43(65) = 104.95 \times 0.8 = 83.96[/tex]

Demand Spring year 17:

[tex]D = 77 + 0.43(66) = 105.38 \times 1.1 = 115.92[/tex]

Demand Summer year 17:

[tex]D = 77 + 0.43(67) = 105.81 \times 1.4 = 148.13[/tex]

Demand Fall year 17:

[tex]D = 77 + 0.43(68) = 106.24 \times 0.7 = 74.37[/tex]

Therefore, the demand forecast for the four quarters of the year of 17 is

Demand for winter of year 17 = 83.96 million kWh

Demand for spring of year 17 = 115.92 million kWh

Demand for summer of year 17 = 148.13 million kWh

Demand for fall of year 17 = 74.37 million kWh
