Answer: reduced by $80 billion
Explanation:
An expansionary gap is when the actual output is more than the potential output. From the question, we are told that an economy is operating with output $400 billion above its natural level, and fiscal policymakers want to close this expansionary gap and that the central bank agrees to adjust the money supply to hold the interest rate constant, so there is no crowding out.
We are also given the marginal propensity to consume is 4/5, and told that the price level is completely fixed in the short run.
To close the expansionary gap, the government would need to reduce its spending. To solve this, we have to calculate the multiplier. This will be:
Multiplier = 1/(1 - MPC)
= 1/(1 - 4/5)
= 1/1-0.8
= 1/0.2
= 5
Therefore, the government expenditure or spending will be reduced by:
= $400 billion/5
=$80 billion
Maple Leaf Foods (MLF) is concerned about the potential for listeria contamination of its packaged meat products. Consumers cannot observe whether or not items are contaminated before they choose to purchase. If a single contaminated package is found, MLF voluntarily recalls every package that was produced in the same facility within two months of the contaminated item, at great cost to the firm. This action is an example of
Answer: government regulation
Explanation:
The above scenario is a form of government regulation. We are informed that Maple Leaf Foods (MLF) is concerned about the potential for listeria contamination of its packaged meat products and that in situations whereby a single contaminated package is found, MLF voluntarily recalls every package that was produced in the same facility within two months of the contaminated item, Eben though it comes at great cost to the firm.
The government is trying to protect the people from using contaminated products thereby in such as scenario, when a contaminated one is found, the goods have to be recalled so that people won't continue buying it.
The following materials standards have been established for a particular product: Standard labor- hour per unit of output 3.3 hours Standard labor rate $16.15 per hour The following data pertain to operations concerning the product for the last month: Actual hours worked 6,300 hours Actual total labor cost $103,635 Actual output 2,000 units What is the labor rate variance for the month
Answer:
The labor rate variance for the month = $1890
Explanation:
Given values:
Standard labor hour per unit = 3.3 hours
Standard labor rate = $16.15 per hour
Actual hours worked = 6,300
Actual total labor cost = $103,635
Actual output = 2,000 units
Now, we calculate the labor rate variance with the help of given information. Below is the calculation of Labor rate variance.
Labor rate variance = ( Actual labor cost) – (Standard rate × Actual hours)
= 103635 – (16.15 × 6,300)
= $1890

The Troy Co. has the following information available: Total fixed costs $400,000 Expected sales (units) 100,000 Selling price per unit $10.00 Contribution margin per unit $7.50 Tax rate 30% What is the after-tax net income
Answer:
Net operating income= 245,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total fixed costs $400,000 Expected sales (units) 100,000 Selling price per unit $10.00 Contribution margin per unit $7.50 Tax rate 30%
We need to determine the after tax income:
Contribution margin= 100,000*7.5= 750,000
Fixed costs= (400,000)
EBIT= 350,000
Tax= 350,000*0.3= (105,000)
Net operating income= 245,000

Using the 1% rule-of-thumb, a rental property that gererates $1,000 per month in gross rents could potentially be a very good deal if it were listed for a sale price of A. $150,000 B. $185,000 C. $120,000 D. $75,000
Answer: $75,000
Explanation:
The 1% rule of thumb in real estate is used to evaluate the price of properties. It states that the monthly rent must be 1% or more of the purchase price of the property.
The higher the percentage of the rent over 1% the better.
In the above the best answer would be $75,000 because;
= 1,000/75,000 * 100
= 1.33%
The $1,000 is above 1% of $75,000 and so would be a very good deal.

Depreciation for Partial Periods Bar Delivery Company purchased a new delivery truck for $45,000 on April 1, 2019. The truck is expected to have a service life of 10 years or 150,000 miles and a residual value of $3,000. The truck was driven 12,000 miles in 2019 and 20,000 miles in 2020. Bar computes depreciation expense to the nearest whole month. Required: Compute depreciation expense for 2019 and 2020 using the following methods: (Round your answers to the nearest dollar.) Straight-line method 2019 $ 2020 $ Sum-of-the-years'-digits method 2019 $ 2020 $ Double-declining-balance method 2019 $ 2020 $ Activity method 2019 $ 2020 $ For each method, what is the book value of the machine at the end of 2019
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchasing price= $45,000
Useful life= 10 years
Salvage value= $3,000
Activity base= 150,000 miles
The truck was driven 12,000 miles in 2019 and 20,000 miles in 2020.
We need to calculate the depreciation expense for 2019 and 2020.
Straight-line method:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
General= (45,000 - 3,000)/10= $4,200
2019:
Depreciation= (4,200/12)*9= $3,150
Book value= 45,000 - 3,150= 41,850
2020:
Depreciation= $4,200
Book value= $37,650
Double-declining balance:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]
2019:
Depreciaiton= [(2*4,200)/12]*9= $6,300
Book value= 35,700
2020:
Depreciation= 2*[(35,700/10)]= $7,140
Book value= 35,700 - 7,140= $28,560
Activity-based:
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in miles]*miles operated
2019:
Depreciation= [(45,000 - 3,000)/150,000]*12,000= $3,360
Book value= 45,000 - 3,360= $41,460
2020:
Depreciation= 0.28*20,000=$5,600
Book value= 41,460 - 5,600= $35,860

AllCity, Inc., is financed 36 % with debt, 14 % with preferred stock, and 50 % with common stock. Its cost of debt is 5.7 %, its preferred stock pays an annual dividend of $ 2.45 and is priced at $ 29. It has an equity beta of 1.13. Assume the risk-free rate is 2.4 %, the market risk premium is 7.3 % and AllCity's tax rate is 35 %. What is its after-tax WACC? g
Answer:
WACC is 7.84%
Explanation:
First we need to calculate the after-tax cost of debt
Cost of Debt (after Tax) = Pre-tax cost of debt ( 1 - Tax rate )
Cost of Debt (after Tax) = 5.7% x ( 1 - 35% ) = 3.705%
Now calculate the cost of preferred share
Cost of preferred share = Dividend on Preferred share / Market value of preferred share
Cost of preferred share = $2.45 / $29 = 0.0845 = 8.45%
Now calculate the cost f equity
Cost of equity = Rf + Beta x Market risk premium
Cost of equity = 2.4% + 1.13 x 7.3%
Cost of equity = 2.4% + 8.249%
Cost of equity = 10.649%
Now use following formula to calclulate the WACC
WACC = ( Cost of Equity x Weight of common stock ) + ( Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt ) + ( Cost of preferred share x weight of preferred share )
WACC = ( 10.649% x 50% ) + ( 3.705% x 36% ) + ( 8.45% x 14% )
WACC = 5.3245% + 1.3338% + 1.183%
WACC = 7.8413%

Sunny corporation reported the following results for december: Description AmountNumber of units sold 800 unitsSelling price per unit $500 per unitCost of goods sold per unit (all variable) $250 per unitVariable selling expense per unit $45 per unitFixed selling expense $22,100Variable administrative expense per unit $32 per unitFixed administrative expense $15,400 The gross margin for December is:
Answer:
The gross margin for December is: 0.5%.
The Gross margin of an organisation or business measure the extent by which its income exceeds the costs it incurs in producing its goods and or services.
The gross margin is measured in percentages. The higher the percentage of this margin, the higher the effectiveness of the company's management in deriving value from every dollar invested.
Explanation:
To arrive at Gross Margin, one is required to subtract the total cost of goods sold from total revenue for the period and dividing that number by revenue. That is:
Gross Margin (GM) = [tex]\frac{Revenue-Cost of Goods Sold}{Revenue}[/tex]
Step I - Calculate Revenue
This is given as the total amount of goods sold which is:
800 x $500 = $400,000
Step II - Calculate Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold per unit is given as
$250 per unit.
Total Cost of Goods sold therefore is
800 x $250 = $200,000
Step III - Calculate Gross Margin
= [tex]\frac{400,000-200,000}{400,000}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{200,000}{400,000}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] or 0.5%

Suppose there are only two firms that sell smartphones: Flashfone and Pictech. The following payoff matrix shows the profit (in millions of dollars) each company will earn, depending on whether it sets a high or low price for its phones.
Pictech Pricing Pictech Pricing
High Low
Flashfone Pricing High 11,11 3,15
Flashfone Pricing Low 15,3 9,9
For example, the lower-left cell shows that if Flashfone prices low and Pictech prices high, Flashfone will earn a profit of $15 million, and Pictech will earn a profit of $3 million. Assume this is a simultaneous game and that Flashfone and Pictech are both profit-maximizing firms.
If Flashfone prices high, Pictech will make more profit if it chooses a _____ price, and if Flashfone prices low, Pictech will make more profit if it chooses a _____ price.
If Pictech prices high, Flashfone will make more profit if it chooses a _____ price, and if Pictech prices low, Flashfone will make more profit if it chooses a _____ price.
Considering all of the information given, pricing low _____ a dominant strategy for both Flashfone and Pictech.
If the firms do not collude, what strategies will they end up choosing?
(i) Flashfone will choose a low price, and Pictech will choose a high price.
(ii) Both Flashfone and Pictech will choose a high price.
(iii) Flashfone will choose a high price, and Pictech will choose a low price.
(iv) Both Flashfone and Pictech will choose a low price.
The game between Flashfone and Pictech is an example of the prisoners' dilemma
(i) True
(ii) False
Answer:
A. Low
Low
B. Low
Low
C. Pricing low is a dominant strategy for both firms.
D. (iv) Both Flashfone and Pictech will choose a low price.
E. True
Explanation:
Game theory looks at the interactions between participants in a competitive game and calculates the best choice for the player.
Dominant strategy is the best option for a player regardless of what the other player is playing.
Nash equilibrium is the best outcome for players where no player has an incentive to change their decisions.
If either firm prices high, the best strategy for the other firm is to charge low. This is because the firm that charges low earns a profit of 15 which is the highest amount of profit that can be earned in this case. If the other firm also charges low, it would earn a profit of 9 which is less than 15
If either firm prices low, the best strategy for the other firm is to charge low. Its this strategy that yields the highest profit for the firm in this case. If the other firm a charges high, it would earn a profit of 3 which is less than 9.
If both firms do not collude (they do not agree on the price to sell), the best strategy is to price low because the payoffs of pricing low (15,9) is greater than the payoff of pricing high (3,11).
It is a prisoners dilemma because the nash equilibrium is not the best option for either firms. The best strategy is colluding and keeping the price high. Hence it is a prisoners' dilemma

An equipment costing $60,000 is being evaluated for a production process at Don Jones Co. The expected benefits per year is $4,500 and estimated salvage value is $20,000. Determine the rate of return the company can get in this equipment proposal. Equipment life
Answer:
Rate of return= 11.25%
Explanation:
The accounting rate of return is the average annual income expressed as a percentage of the average investment.
The simple rate of return can be calculated using the two formula below:
Accounting rate of return
= Annual operating income/Average investment × 100
Average investment = (Initial cost + scrap value)/2
Average annual income = Total income over investment period / Number of years
Average investment = (60,000 + 20,000)/2= $40,000
Average annual income is already given as = 4,500
Rate of return = 4500/40,0000 × 100 = 50%
Rate of return= 11.25%
The rate of return the company can get in this equipment proposal is 5.63%.
Given information
initial cost = 60000
Salvage = 20000
t = 20 yrs
Annual benefit = 4500
Let I be our rate of return, then Present worth at I% equals 0.
Present worth = -60000 + 4500*(P/A,i%,20) + 20000*(P/F,i%,20) = 0
4500*(P/A,i%,20) + 20000*(P/F,i%,20) = 60000
Divide both side by 500
9*(P/A,i%,20) + 40*(P/F,i%,20) = 120
Using the trail and error method
When I = 5%, 9*(P/A,i%,20) + 40*(P/F,i%,20) = 127.23547
when I = 6%, 9*(P/A,i%,20) + 40*(P/F,i%,20) = 115.70148
Using interpolation
I = 5% + (127.23547-120)/(127.23547-115.70148) *(6 - 5)
I = 5% + 0.6273%
I = 5.6273%
I = 5.63%
In conclusion, the rate of return the company can get in this equipment proposal is 5.63%.

Assume the following cost of goods sold data for a company: 2018$1417000 20171204000 20161018000 If 2016 is the base year, what is the percentage increase in cost of goods sold from 2016 to 2018
Answer:
39.19%
Explanation:
2018 $1,417,000
2017 $1,204,000
2016 $1,018,000
if 2016 was the base year, then the % from 2016 to 2018 = ($1,417,000 - $1,018,000) / $1,018,100 = 39.19%
we can also calculate the % increase from 2016 - 2017 and from 2017 - 2018 in a similar manner:
2016 to 2017 increase = ($1,204,000 - $1,018,000) / $1,018,100 = 18.27%
2017 to 2018 increase = ($1,417,000 - $1,204,000) / $1,204,100 = 17.69%
A monetarist would argue that a. prices are inflexible. b. wages are inflexible. c. changes in M in the short run can cause Real GDP to fall. d. large changes in M could be offset by changes in V and not cause changes in P.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option C: changes in M in the short run can cause Real GDP to fall.
Explanation:
To begin with, the monetarist economists are the one that support the idea of not having any intervention from the government regarding the economy and moreover they are the ones whose ideology focus mainly in the money, as it name indicates. Therefore that when the government decides in the short run to increase the amount of the money supply then the monetarists argue that the action done by them will cause the Real GDP to fall because of the high inflation that it will cause the increase of the money supply and consequently low demand, etc.
Suppose that the average annual malpractice cost is $50,000 for reckless doctors and $1,000 for careful doctors. If half of an insurance company's insured doctors are reckless, the company will earn zero economic profit if the price of insurance is $______nothing. If careful doctors are not willing to pay more than $5,000 for insurance, the price required for zero economic profit is $_______nothing.
Answer:
1. $25,500
2. $50,000
Explanation:
Company will earn zero economic profit if the price is $25,500
Insurance price = (50% x $50,000) + (50% x $ 1,000)
Insurance price = $25,000 + $500
Insurance price = $25,500
If the careful doctors are not willing to pay more than $5,000 for insurance then I am afraid reckless doctors will take the insurance with price of $50,000
Torque Manufacturing forecasts that its production will require 600,000 tons of bauxite over its planning period. Demand for Torque's products is stable over time. Ordering costs amount to an average of $15.00 per order. Holding costs are estimated at $1.25 per ton of bauxite. If Torque uses an inventory quantity of 3,000 tons, what will be the total annual cost of inventory
Answer:
Total annual cost of inventory is 4875.
Explanation:
The demand for bauxite by Torque manufacturing (A) = 600000 tons.
It is given that the demand is stable.
The average ordering cost of bauxite (O) = $15 per order.
The cost of holding to bauxite (CP) = $1.25 per ton.
The economics order quantity (EOQ) = 3000
The total annual cost of inventory = ordering cost + inventory cost
[tex]\text{Total annual cost} = \frac{A}{EOQ} \times O + \frac{EOQ}{2} \times CP \\[/tex]
[tex]\text{Total annual cost} = \frac{600000}{3000} \times 15 + \frac{3000}{2} \times 1.25 = 4875[/tex]

By itself this transaction a. increases U.S. imports and decreases U.S. net exports. b. increases U.S. imports and increases U.S. net exports. c. increases U.S. exports and decreases U.S. net exports. d. increases U.S. exports and increases U.S. net exports.
Answer:
Option “D” increases (rise) U.S. exports and increases U.S. net exports.
Explanation:
Option “D” is correct because when the United Kingdom hire a firm in the U.S. that means the export of the U.S has increased and import of the United Kingdom has increased. The net export is the amount that comes after subtracting the import from export so an increase in U.S. export will show the increase in U.S net export.

Overhead costs for the year $100,000 per year
Variable overhead 200,000 per year
Fixed overhead Units produced this year 25,000 units
Units sold this year 19,000 units
Ending finished goods inventory in units 6,000 units
Compute the cost per unit using absorption costing Cost per unit of finished goods using: Absorption costing Cost per unit of finished goods
Determine the cost of ending finished goods inventory using absorption costing
Answer:
Unitary production cost= $42
Ending inventory= $252,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct materials $ 13 per unit
Direct labor $ 17 per unit
Fixed overhead costs for the year= $100,000 per year
Variable overhead= 200,000 per year
Units produced this year 25,000 units
Ending finished goods inventory in units 6,000 units
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
First, we need to calculate the unitary fixed and variable cost:
Unitary overhead= (100,000 + 200,000)/25,000= $12
Unitary production cost= 13 + 17 + 12= $42
COGS= 19,000*42= $798,000
Ending inventory= 6,000*42= $252,000
