Suppose the price index was 105 in 2017, 126 in 2018, and the inflation rate was lower between 2018 and 2019 than it was between 2017 and 2018. This means that
Answer:
These are the answers to the question:
a. the price index in 2019 was lower than 126.0.
b. the price index in 2019 was lower than 147.0.
c. the price index in 2019 was lower than 151.2.
d. the inflation rate between 2018 and 2019 was lower than 1.2 percent.
And this is the correct answer:
b. the price index in 2019 was lower than 147.0.
Explanation:
We can see that the price index rose by 21 units from 105 in 2017 to 126 in 2018.
If the inflation rate was lower between 2018 and 2019, it means that the price index rose by less than 21 units during this period.
Because 126 + 21 = 147, we can be certain that the price index in 2019 was lower than 147.
Lakeland Consulting purchased computer equipment for $10,000. Lakeland made a $2,000 down payment with the balance due within 90 days. The effect of the transaction is a(n): Multiple Choice Decrease in assets of $2,000, an increase in liabilities of $8,000, and an increase in owner's equity of $10,000
Answer:
Increase in assets of $8,000 and an increase in liabilities $8,000
Explanation:
The effect of the transaction is shown below with the help of the accounting equation
Liabilities + Owner equity = Assets
$8,000 + 0 = $8,000
($10,000 - $2,000)
Therefore from the above calculation, we can see that there is an increase in assets also there will be an increase in liabilities but no effect on stockholder equity
Consumption expenditures $800
Investment expenditures 200
Government purchases 300
Exports 100
Imports 200
Wages 800
Refer to Table above. Consider the data above (in billions of dollars) for an economy:
Gross domestic product (in billions of dollars) for this economy equals
A) $2,200.
B) $1,600.
C) $1,400.
D) $1,200
Answer:
GDP= $1,200
Explanation:
From the question above, we are given the following values
Consumption expenditure= $800
Investment expenditures= $200
Government purchases= $300
Imports= $100
Exports= $200
Wages= $800
Therefore the Gross Domestic Product(GDP) can be calculated as follows
GDP=Consumption+investment+government spending+(export-import)
= $800+$200+$300+($100-$200)
= $800+$200+$300+(-$100)
= $800+$200+$300-$100
= $1,200
Hence the Gross Domestic Product (in billions of dollars) for this economy is $1,200
A firm in a purely competitive industry is currently producing 1,200 units per day at a total cost of $700. If the firm produced 1,000 units per day, its total cost would be $450, and if it produced 700 units per day, its total cost would be $425. Instructions: Round your answers to 2 decimal places. a. What are the firm's ATC at these three levels of production
Answer:
Explanation:
The average total cost is calculated as the total cost divided by the number of outputs. The firm's ATC at these three levels of production will be:
1. 1,200 units per day at a total cost of $700.
ATC = Total cost/output
ATC = $700/1200
ATC = $0.58
2. If the firm produced 1,000 units per day, its total cost would be $450.
ATC = Total cost/output
ATC = $450/1000
ATC = $0.45
3. If it produced 700 units per day, its total cost would be $425.
ATC = Total cost/output
ATC = $425/700
ATC = $0.61

The Converting Department of Tender Soft Tissue Company uses the average cost method and had 2,900 units in work in process that were 70% complete at the beginning of the period. During the period, 36,500 units were completed and transferred to the Packing Department. There were 1,600 units in process that were 20% complete at the end of the period. a. Determine the number of whole units to be accounted for and to be assigned costs for the period. units b. Determine the number of equivalent units of production for the period. units
Answer:
a) Units to be accounted for
Completed and transferred out = 36,500 units
Closing inventory = 1600 units.
b) Total equivalent units 36,820
Explanation:
Under the weighted average method, the units completed and transferred out are not separated into opening inventory and newly introduced.
The units to be assigned cost would be as follows:
Completed and transferred out = 36,500 units
Closing inventory = 1600 units.
Equivalent units is the notional whole units which represent incomplete work and her use to assign costs between work-in-progress and completed units.t
Equivalent units= Degree of completion × units
Units units Equivalent units
Completed 36,500 36,500 × 100% = 36,500
Closing inventory 1,600 1,600 × 20% = 320
Total equivalent units 36,820
a) Units to be accounted for
Completed and transferred out = 36,500 units
Closing inventory = 1600 units.
b) Total equivalent units 36,820
Physical Units Work in process, beginning 0 Completed and transferred out 89000 Work in process, ending 6000 Materials are added at the beginning of the process. What is the total number of equivalent units for materials during the period?
Answer:
Total equivalent units= 95,000 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Work in process, beginning 0
Completed and transferred out 89,000
Work in process, ending 6,000
Materials are added at the beginning of the process.
Because the materials are added at the beginning of the process, the equivalent units are the same as units started and completed.
Total equivalent units= 89,000 + 6,000= 95,000 units

Question 5 of 30
2 Points
Which of these is most likely to lead to an increase in wages?
A. A government with a budget surplus
B. The use of an assembly line
C. Outsourcing and offshoring
D. The formation of a labor union
Answer:
D. The formation of a labor union
Explanation:
The formation of a labor union will likely lead to an increase in wages because of two main reasons:
Labor unions engage in collective bargaining with employers, and this negotiations usually result in higher wages.Labor unions often restrict the labor supply that enters a particular market: they only allow unionized workers to get the jobs of the industry, and/or keep the labor supply artificially low in other to push wages to rise. This is because, the fewer workers in an industry, the scarcer they are, and the higher their wages become.1. Consider the following information about three stocks: State of Economy Probability of State of Economy Rate of Return If State Occurs Stock A Stock B Stock C Boom .25 .21 .36 .55 Normal .60 .17 .13 .09 Bust .15 .00 −.28 −.45 a. If your portfolio is invested 40 percent each in A and B and 20 percent in C, what is the portfolio expected return? The variance? The standard deviation? b. If the expected T-bill rate is 3.80 percent, what is the expected risk premium on the portfolio? c. If the expected inflation rate is 3.50 percent, what are the approximate and exact expected real returns on the portfolio? What are the approximate and exact expected real risk premiums on the portfolio?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. For expected return
As we know that
Expected return = Probability × Rate of return
The same formula applies for all of the given stock
For Boom it is
= 0.4(0.21) + 0.4(0.36) + 0.2(0.55)
= 0.33
For Normal it is
= 0.4(0.17) + 0.4(0.13) + 0.2(0.09)
= 0.13
For Bust
= 0.4(0.00) + 0.4(-0.28) + 0.2(-0.45)
= - 0.20
So, the expected rate of return is
= 0.25(0.33) + 0.60(0.13) + 0.15(-0.20)
= 0.1305
Now the variance is
= 0.25 × (0.33 - 0.1305)^2 + 0.60 × (0.13 - 0.1305)^2+ 0.15 × (-0.20 – 0.1305)^2
= 0.053
Now the standard deviation is
= [0.053]^1/2
= 0.23
b. Risk premium is
= E(Rp) – Rf
= 0.1305 - 0.038
= 0.0925
c. Expected real return is
= 0.1305 - 0.035
= 0.0955
The Expected real risk premium is
= risk premium - inflation rate
= 0.0955 - 0.035
= 0.0605
We simply applied the above formulas

The company XOXO is specialized in producing treadmills. The company allocates manufacturing overhead based on direct labor hours. XOXO estimated a total of $4,600 of manufacturing overhead that can be dispatched on all jobs. Moreover, the total direct labor hours that has been recorder during the period raises up to 460 hours. Job 12 consists of 30 sets of treadmills. The company’s records show that the following direct costs were requisitioned for Job 12: • Electronic parts: 40 units at $20 per unit • Plastic: 10 kilograms at $10 per kilogram • Labor hours: 60 hours at $25 per hour Requirement: 1. Calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead (MOH) rate.
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $10 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The company allocates manufacturing overhead based on direct labor hours.
Estimated a total overhead= $4,600
Direct labor hours= 460
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 4,600/460= $10 per direct labor hour

confidence interval does not include zero, HUD can conclude that the average size of a newly constructed house in 2010 is not different from the average size of a newly constructed house in 2000.
Answer:
B. Because the
95
%
confidence interval does not include zero, HUD can conclude that the average size of a newly constructed house in 2010 is different from the average size of a newly constructed house in 2000.
Explanation:
Here,
Null and alternative hypotheses are:
H0: u1 = u2
H1: u1 ≠ u2
Calculate test statistics:
[tex] t = \frac{x'1 - x'2}{\sqrt{\frac{(n_1 - 1) (\sigma_1)^2 + (n_2 - 1)(\sigma_2)^2}{n_1 + n_2 - 2} * (\frac{1}{n_1} + \frac{1}{n_2})}} [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{2180 - 2390}{\sqrt{\frac{(14)(300)^2 + (11)(320)^2)}{15 +12 - 2} * (\frac{1}{15} + \frac{1}{12})}} [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{-210}{\sqrt{\frac{(1260000) + (1126400)}{25} * (0.15)}} [/tex]
[tex] t = -1.7549 [/tex]
At 95% confidence interval, find t observed:
Significance level = 100% - 95% = 5% = 0.05
Degrees of freedom = 15 + 12 - 2 = 25
[tex] t_o = t_\alpha_/_2_, _d_f = t_0_._0_5_/_2_, _2_5 = t_0_._0_2_5, _2_5 = 2.06 [/tex]
T calculated = -1.76
T observed(critical) = -2.06
Since t calculated is bigger than t critical, reject null hypothesis H0.
Because the
95
%
confidence interval does not include zero, HUD can conclude that the average size of a newly constructed house in 2010 is different from the average size of a newly constructed house in 2000.

When the price increases by 30% and the quantity demanded drops by 10%, the price elasticity of demand is: quizet
Answer:
0.33 inelastic
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
10% / 30% = 0.33
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one .

A portfolio has 30% of its value in IBM shares and the rest in Microsoft (MSFT). The volatility of IBM and MSFT are 35% and 30%, respectively, and the correlation between IBM and MSFT is 0.5. What is the standard deviation of the portfolio
Answer:
30.51%
Explanation:
The computation of the standard deviation is shown below:
Data provided in the question
Weightage in IBM = 30% = WI
Weightage in MFST = 100 - 30% = 70% = WM
The Volatility in IBM = 35% = VI
The Volatility in MFST = 30% = VM
Correlation = 0.5 = C
Based on the above information
The standard deviation is
[tex]= \sqrt{(VI^2\times WI^2) + (VM^2 \times WM^2) + (2 \times VI \times WI \times VM \times WM \times C)}[/tex]
[tex]= \sqrt{(0.35^2\times 0.30^2) + (0.35^2 \times 0.70^2) + (2 \times 0.35 \times 0.30\times 0.30 \times 0.70 \times 0.5)}[/tex]
