12. Problems and Applications Q12 A drought around the world reduces the total revenue that farmers receive from the sale of grain if demand is . Why would a drought only in Kansas most likely reduce the total revenues that Kansas farmers receive? A drought in Kansas is not significant enough to affect the worldwide price of grain. A drought in Kansas would significantly lower the worldwide price of grain. A drought in Kansas would significantly raise the worldwide price of grain.
Answer:
Elastic
A drought in Kansas would significantly raise the worldwide price of grain
Explanation:
Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes. If there's a small change in price, there's a greater change in quantity demanded.
If there's a drought in kansas, the amount of grains produced would fall. This would make grains scarce and increase the price of grain. If the elasticity of demand for grain is elastic, the price increase would lead to a reduction in quantity demanded. As a result, the revenue received by farmers would fall.

The overall economic performance of developing countries is expected to outpace that of the United States over the coming years. A customer that wishes to profit from this should receive which recommendation and accompanying risk disclosures?
A.
The customer should be recommended a special situations fund, as long as the customer is willing to assume regulatory risk and market risk
B.
The customer should be recommended a specialty fund, as long as the customer is willing to assume credit risk and extension risk
C.
The customer should be recommended an emerging markets fund, as long as the customer is willing to assume political risk and exchange rate risk
D.
The customer should be recommended a sector fund, as long as the customer is willing to assume unsystematic risk and market risk
Answer: C. The customer should be recommended an emerging markets fund, as long as the customer is willing to assume political risk and exchange rate risk
Explanation:
In order to take advantage of the opportunity that presents itself from developing countries outpacing that of the US in years to come, the customer should invest in an Emerging Markets fund. This fund invests in securities from the more rapidly developing countries like China and Brazil so the customer will be poised to take advantage of the opportunities offered by this.
However, they should be wary of Exchange rate risks as their currencies are not as strong as the US dollar and can be unstable.
They also need to worry about political instability as quite a lot of developing countries do not have strong democracies and Economic decisions are influenced by political decisions a bit too much.
Suppose the most you would be willing to pay to have a freshly washed car before going out on a date is $8.00. The smallest amount for which you would be willing to wash someone else's car is $5.50. You are going out this evening and your car is dirty. How much economic surplus would you receive from washing it
Answer:
1. The most you would be willing to pay for having a freshly washed car before going out on a
date is $6. The smallest amount for which you would be willing to wash someone else's car is
$3.50. You are going out this evening, and your car is dirty. How much economic surplus
would you receive from washing it?
The economic surplus from washing your dirty car is the benefit you receive from doing so ($6)
minus your cost of doing the job ($3.50), or $2.50.
2. To earn extra money in the summer, you grow tomatoes and sell them at the farmers' market

6 131.5 0.50 0.5 0.15 6.45 - 0.35
The benefit of adding a pound of compost is the extra revenue you’ll get from the extra tomatoes
that result. The cost of adding a pound of compost is 50 cents. By adding the fourth pound of
compost you’ll get 2 extra pounds of tomatoes, or 60 cents in extra revenue, which more than
covers the 50-cent cost of the extra pound of compost. But adding the fifth pound of compost
gives only 1 extra pound of tomatoes, so the corresponding revenue increase (30 cents) is less than
the cost of the compost. You should add 4 pounds of compost and no more.
3. Residents of your city are charged a fixed weekly fee of $6 for garbage collection. They are
allowed to put out as many cans as they wish. The average household disposes of three cans of
garbage per week under this plan. Now suppose that your city changes to a "tag" system. Each
can of refuse to be collected must have a tag affixed to it. The tags cost $2 each and are not
reusable. What effect do you think the introduction of the tag system will have on the total
quantity of garbage collected in your city? Explain briefly.
In the first case, the cost is $6/week no matter how many cans you put out, so the cost of
disposing of an extra can of garbage is $0. Under the tag system, the cost of putting out an extra
can is $2, regardless of the number of the cans. Since the relevant costs are higher under the tag
system, we would expect this system to reduce the number of cans collected.

Marin operates a manufacturing business, and this year the three-year-old van she used in the business was destroyed in a fire. The van was originally purchased for $23,000 and the adjusted basis was $5,425 at the time of the accident. Although the van was worth $6,300 at the time of accident, insurance only paid Marin $1,575 for the loss. What is the amount of Marin's casualty loss deduction
Answer: $3850
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Marin operates a manufacturing business, and this year the three-year-old van she used in the business was destroyed in a fire. We are further told that the van was originally bought for $23,000 and the adjusted basis was $5,425 at the time of the accident and that although the van was worth $6,300 at the time of accident, insurance only paid Marin $1,575 for the loss.
The amount of Marin's casualty loss deduction will be the difference between the adjusted basis and the amount paid to Marin by the insurance company for the loss. This will be:
= $5425 - $1575
= $3850
10) Financial intermediaries can substantially reduce transaction costs per dollar of transactions
because their large size allows them to take advantage of
Answer: D) economies of scale.
Explanation:
Economies of scale refers to when an entity is able to reduce its total costs as quantities of the good causing the costs increase.
Financial Intermediaries such as Commercial banks, Mutual funds, Investment banks etcetera have a lot of funds available for trade which they use to execute large trades. As a result, the costs on average are lower or them per transaction as opposed to traders executing with lower volumes. For example, when purchasing shares they will be able to negotiate better fees with stockbrokers because they are buying a lot of shares as opposed a single buyer trading.
ACME Inc. has decided on a 10for1 reverse stock split. If the firm currently has 40,000,000 shares outstanding, how many shares will be outstanding after the stock split?
Answer:
$4,000,000 Shares
Explanation:
Calculation for how many shares will be outstanding after the stock split
Using this formula
Outstanding Shares after stock split =Shares outstanding ÷Reverse stock split
Let plug in the formula
Outstanding Shares after stock split =$40,000,000÷10
Outstanding Shares after stock split =$4,000,000 Shares
Therefore the amount of shares that will be outstanding after the stock split will be $4,000,000
Zhao Co. has fixed costs of $403,200. Its single product sells for $183 per unit, and variable costs are $120 per unit. If the company expects sales of 10,000 units, compute its margin of safety in dollars and as a percent of expected sales.
Answer:
Margin of safety in dollars = $658800
Margin of safety percentage = 0.36 or 36%
Explanation:
The margin of safety in dollars is the number of revenue that a business earns in excess of its break even level of revenue. Thus, the formula for the margin of safety in dollars is,
Margin of safety in dollars = Revenue at current sales level - Revenue at break even sales level
We must first determine the level of sales at the break even point.
The break even point in dollars can be calculated as follows,
Break even in dollars = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio
Where,
Contribution margin ratio = (Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit) / Selling price per unit
Break even in dollars = 403200 / [(183 - 120) / 183]
Break even in dollars = $1171200
Margin of safety in dollars = (10000 * 183) - 1171200
Margin of safety in dollars = $658800
Break even point in units = 1171200 / 183 = 6400 units
Margin of safety as a percentage of expected sales is,
Margin of safety percentage = (10000 - 6400) / 10000
Margin of safety percentage = 0.36 or 36%
Aloha Inc. has 8 percent coupon bonds on the market that have 11 years left to maturity. If the YTM on these bonds is 10.22 percent, what is the current bond price
Answer:
The answer is $85.73
Explanation:
N(Number of periods) = 11years
I/Y(Yield to maturity) = 10.22 percent
PV(present value or market price) = ?
PMT( coupon payment) = $8
FV( Future value or par value) = $10
We are using a Financial calculator for this.
N= 11; I/Y = 10.22 ; PMT = 8; FV= $100; CPT PV= -85.73
Therefore, the market price of the bond is $85.73
Dartford Company reported the following financial data for one of its divisions for the year; average investment center total assets of $4,100,000; investment center income $700,000; a target income of 12% of average invested assets. The residual income for the division is:
Answer:
$208,000
Explanation:
Calculation for Dartford Company residual income
Using this formula
Residual income=Investment center income -(Target income percentage of average invested assets ×Average investment center total assets)
Let plug in the formula
Residual income =$700,000-(12%×$4,100,000)
Residual income =$700,000 - $492,000
Residual income =$208,000
Therefore The residual income for the division is: $208,000
1. Which of the following measures is an evaluation of a firm's ability to pay current liabilities?
A. Acid-test ratio.
C. Both (a) and (b).
B. Current ratio.
D. None of the above
Answer:
B. Current ratio
Current ratio is a comparison of current assets to current liabilities, calculated by dividing your current assets by your current liabilities.
Current ratio is an evaluation of a firm's ability to pay current liabilities. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
What is an current ratio?The current ratio is a liquidity ratio that measures a company's ability to pay short-term or one-year obligations. It explains to investors and analysts how a company can maximise its current assets on its balance sheet in order to pay off its current debt and other payables.
A current ratio that is comparable to or slightly higher than the industry average is generally regarded as acceptable. A lower current ratio than the industry average may indicate a greater risk of distress or default. Similarly, if a company's current ratio is very high in comparison to its peer group, it indicates that management may not be utilising its assets efficiently.
Therefore, current ratio is the correct answer.

Required information Going on a Business Trip to China Business professionals who are high in cultural intelligence possess skills and attributes to work effectively with members of other cultures. They respect, recognize, and appreciate cultural differences; possess curiosity and interest in other cultures; avoid inappropriate stereotypes; adjust conceptions of time and show patience; manage language differences to achieve shared meaning; understand cultural dimensions; establish trust and show empathy across cultures; approach cross-cultural work relationships with a learner mind-set; and build co-cultures of cooperation and innovation. In this exercise, you evaluate the experiences of an operations manager going to China to examine factories and potentially take bids for some of your company's operations. You will notice differences in communication across cultures and analyze the interactions in terms of cultural intelligence and the following cultural dimensions: individualism and collectivism, egalitarianism and hierarchy, future orientation, assertiveness, and humane orientation. Read the case below and answer the questions that follow. Recently, senior managers at Judith Carey's company concluded that some of the company's operations needed to be produced in lower-wage locations for the company to stay profitable. They placed Judith in charge of learning about options in China, a country she had never visited. After several months of making contacts via phone and email, Judith traveled to China to meet some potential manufacturers. She brought two of her staff members along with her on the trip. She also asked Mei, one of the company's sales representatives in China, to join the group and act as an interpreter. Mei had joined the company's sales department in China two years ago. Because she gained a marketing degree in a Canadian university, Mei's English was excellent. The first stop on the trip would be with representatives of the Shunde Manufacturing (SDM) Company, a potential manufacturer for the company's line of dolls. After a long plane trip and a sleepless night at a hotel in Shanghai, Judith started the first day of work in China tired and slightly disoriented. Her team first met the company's president, Bo Chen, and seven other men from SDM for lunch. Judith was seated next to the company's president for the duration of the two-hour lunch, which included course after course of foods Judith had never seen or eaten before. Judith sampled most of the dishes but was clearly uncomfortable. During the meal, the company president asked Judith, "Ms. Carey, what are your impressions of China?" Judith replied, "Well, Bo, I don't really know too much. I'm not quite used to the air here, with all of the pollution. Of course, I've always known about the one-child policy, but not much else. Do you think the policy is fair?" Bo stated, "China and America must solve their problems in their own ways." Then, he talked about the final dish for the meal—a fish. He explained that ending the meal with the fish had special symbolism in China and signaled a prosperous future for their relationship. Near the end of lunch, Bo told Judith, "We'll meet for dinner and a reception later at 6 p.m. I've arranged a tour for you this afternoon. Several of our staff members will take you for a walk along the river, to some beautiful Chinese gardens, and to the Shanghai Museum." Judith was a bit dismayed. She wasn't really in the mood for touring. Rather, she wanted to get down to business, but she obliged for the afternoon tour. During the tour, Judith asked Mei, her interpreter, "What should I do this evening to make sure we can talk about business?" Mei replied, "Tonight, you should make friends with President Chen. Give him a nice toast in front of his employees. Enjoy the wonderful food. Tomorrow you can talk about business." That evening, Judith and her team were taken to a large private room at a restaurant. The SDM Company was now represented by more than 20 employees. Judith and Bo spent most of the dinner discussing family and professional experiences. Judith enjoyed the food, gave a toast mentioning "future cooperation" and thanking "President Chen for his hospitality," and even sang karaoke when invited. The next day, Judith arrived at the company's headquarters. She and her team discussed options for a partnership with SDM representatives for the duration of the day. At the end of the day, both parties agreed to continue their conversations in approximately one month. The first day of the visit is largely spent with lavish banquets and events. Which of the following cultural dimensions can best explain this situation? A-future orientation B-assertiveness C-egalitarianism and hierarchy D-individualism and collectivism
Answer:
The answer is D. individualism and collectivism
Explanation:
Individualism and collectivism looks at the relationship the individual has with others. In high individual ranking, individuality and individual rights are paramount within the society. Judith is from the US where society appreciates a more individualistic attitude and relatively loose bonds with others. On the other hand, Bo is from China where people are integrated from birth into strong cohesive in-groups and the extended family – grandparents, uncles and aunts – is protected in exchange for unquestioned loyalty.

Explanation:
Which of the following would most directly affect the purchasing power of benefits paid on a fixed annuity?
A) Guaranteed minimum payout.
B) Economic inflation.
C) Interest rates
D) Company investment performance
The purchasing power of benefits on a fixed annuity is directly affected by economic inflation, which reduces the value of money over time. Therefore, option B is correct.
In the context of fixed annuities, inflation refers to the general increase in prices of goods and services over time, leading to a decrease in the purchasing power of money.
Inflation erodes the value of annuity payments, as the fixed benefit amount remains constant while the cost of living rises.
This means that over time, the annuity payments may not be sufficient to meet the same level of expenses. Managing inflation risk becomes crucial in maintaining the long-term purchasing power of annuity benefits, ensuring that they can adequately cover future expenses despite the impact of rising prices.

A foundation was endowed with $15,000,000 in July 2010. In July 2014, $5,000,000 was expended for facilities, and it was decided to provide $250,000 at the end of each year forever to cover operating expenses. The first operating expense is in July 2015, and the first replacement expense in July 2014. If all money earns interest at 5% after the time of endowment, what amount would be available for the capital replacements at the end of every fifth year forever
Answer:
$2,274,639.75
Explanation:
Endowment on July 2010 = $15,000,000
Endowment amount on July 2014 = $15,000,000 (1+0.05)^4 - Expenditure on facilities
= $15,000,000 (1.2155) - $5,000,000
= $18,232,500 - $5,000,000
= $13,232,500
Amount to be set aside for operation expenses = $250,000/0.05 = $5,000,000
Amount available for capital replacement = $13,232,500 - $5,000,000 = $8,232,500
5-years effective interest rate = (1+0.05)^5 - 1 = 0.2763
Annual available for capital replacements every fifth year forever = $8,232,500 (0.2763) = $2,274,639.75
The amount that would be available for the capital replacements at the end of every fifth year forever is $2,274,513.93.
Endowment amount:
Endowment amount=[$15,000,000 (1+0.05)^4]- $5,000,000
Endowment amount=[$15,000,000 (1.21550625)] - $5,000,000
Endowment amount= $18,232,594- $5,000,000
Endowment amount= $13,232,594
Capital replacement:
Capital replacement = $13,232,594- ($250,000/0.05)
Capital replacement = $13,232,594 - $5,000,000
Capital replacement = $8,232,594
Effective interest rate :
Effective interest rate = (1+0.05)^5 - 1
Effective interest rate = (1.05)^5 - 1
Effective interest rate = 0.2762815625
Every Fifth year Capital replacements:
Every Fifth year Capital replacements= $8,232,594 ( 0.2762815625)
Every Fifth year Capital replacements=$2,274,513.93
Inconclusion the amount that would be available for the capital replacements at the end of every fifth year forever is $2,274,513.93.

Bridget drinks three soda during a particular day. The marginal benefits she enjoys from drinking the third soda. a. can be thought of as the total benefit Bridget enjoys by drinking three sodas minus the total benefit she would have enjoyed by drinking just two sodas. b. determines Bridget's willingness to pay for the third soda. c. is likely different from the marginal benefit provided to Bridget by the second soda.
Answer:
1. c. is more equal but less efficient for society
2. All of the above
Explanation:
1. When taxes reduce the income going to the wealthy and instead redistributes it to the poorer members of society, it increases equality because the poorer members will have some form of income to bridge the gap between them and the rich. However, this may not be good for the efficiency of the society. This is because increasing the income on the wealthier will both reduce the income they have for investment as well as their willingness to work knowing that they will lose some of their rewards to taxes. These 2 things will reduce the output of the society thereby hurting its efficiency.
2. Marginal benefit in terms of production for instance is the extra benefit gained from producing one extra good. It can therefore be calculated by subtracting the total benefit of all the other produced goods from the total benefits of all produced goods including the additional one. In the same way, the marginal benefit of Bridget drinking the third soda can be thought of as the total benefit Bridget enjoys by drinking three sodas minus the total benefit she would have enjoyed by drinking just two sodas.
The marginal benefit that Bridget will get from drinking the third soda will indeed determine what she will pay for it. If she feels that it costs more to her than what she will benefit, she will not buy.
As more of a good is consumed, the marginal benefit decreases in general and is almost never the same. For Bridget therefore, the marginal benefit of the third soda is likely different from the marginal benefit provided to Bridget by the second soda.

There are zero coupon bonds outstanding that have a YTM of 5.97 percent and mature in 19 years. The bonds have a par value of $10,000. If we assume semiannual compounding, what is the price of the bonds
Answer:
market price = $1,104.20
Explanation:
yield to maturity of zero coupon bonds = (face value / market price)¹/ⁿ - 1
YTM = 5.97%n = 19 x 2 = 38face value = $10,000(face value / market price)¹/ⁿ = YTM + 1
face value / market price = (YTM + 1)ⁿ
market price = face value / (YTM + 1)ⁿ
market price = $10,000 / 1.0597³⁸ = $10,000 / 9.0563 = $1,104.20
Suppose that a baseball player eligible for free agent status signs a contract with a new team that promises to pay him $100,000 more than his current team for each of the next three years. Assuming the discount rate is 6 percent, what is the maximum the current costs of moving could be and still have this investment be worthwhile?
Answer:
Maximum current cost = $267,301.19
Explanation:
The maximum current costs of his moving would be worth of the $100,000 annuity in today's dollars, that is the present value.
The present value of the annuity would be determined as follows:
PV = A × (1- (1+r)^(-n) )/ r
Annual cash flow, n- number of years, r-rate of interest
A- 100,000, r- 6%, n- 3
PV - 100,000 × (1- 1.06^(-3))/0.06
PV = $ 267,301.19
Maximum current cost = $267,301.19
State the immediate effect of each of the following actions on M1 and M2: Instructions: If there is no change in M1 or M2, enter zero as your response. a. Barry writes his plumber a check for $200. The plumber takes the check to the bank, keeps $50 in cash, and deposits the remainder in his savings account. M1 declines by $ 0 . M2 does not change by $ 0 . b. Maureen deposits the $1,000 from her CD in a money market mutual fund. M1 does not change by $ 0 . M2 does not change by $ 0 . c. Sylvia withdraws $50 in cash from her savings account. M1 rises by $ 0 . M2 does not change by $ 0 .
Answer:
M1 is a measure of money that includes the most liquid of cash instruments such as physical cash, checkable deposits, and traveler's checks.
M2 is the next level in the money hierarchy and includes M1 along with less liquid instruments such as savings deposits, certificates of deposits, as well as money market funds.
a. Barry writes his plumber a check for $200. The plumber takes the check to the bank, keeps $50 in cash, and deposits the remainder in his savings account.
M1 declines by $150.
Barry's Checkable deposit was reduced by $200 and only $50 remained as cash with the plumber with the rest going to a savings account. that $50 is the only M1 measure left as savings do not fall under M1.
M2 does not change
Both M1 and savings fall under M2 so this does not change.
b. Maureen deposits the $1,000 from her CD in a money market mutual fund.
Both M1 and M2 do not change.
Neither CDs nor Money Market Mutual funds fall under M1 so it is not affected.
Both CDs and Money Market Mutual funds fall under M2 so it is not affected as well.
c. Sylvia withdraws $50 in cash from her savings account.
M1 rises by $50
Cash increased by $50 and cash is an M1 measure so M1 will increase by $50.
M2 does not change.
Both the Savings Account and M1 are part of M2 so M2 does not change.
