Answer:
The growth rate of nominal GDP between 1995 and 2015 was 4.35%
Growth rate over a period is calculated as;
= 100 * (((Current variable/initial variable)^1/n) - 1)
= 100 * (((17,947 / 7,664) ^1/20) -1)
= 4.35%
Growth rate of the GDP deflator between 1995 and 2015 was 1.90%.
= 100 * (((109.8/75.3)^1/20) -1)
= 1.90%
Measured in 2009 prices, real GDP was $ 10,177.95 billion in 1995 and $ 16,345.17 billion in 2015.
Real GDP = (Nominal GDP / GDP Deflator) * 100
1995 = (7,664/75.3) * 100
= $ 10,177.95
2015 = (17,947/109.8) * 100
= $ 16,345.17
The growth rate of real GDP between 1995 and 2015 was 2.397% .
= 100 x (((16,345.17 / 10,177.95)^1/20) -1)
= 2.397%
The growth rate of nominal GDP between 1995 and 2015 was more than the growth rate of real GDP.
Nominal GDP growth was 4.35% whilst Real GDP was 2.397%.

Consider an economy that produces only chocolate bars. In year 1, the quantity produced is 3 bars and the price is $2. In year 2, the quantity produced is 5 bars and the price is $4. In year 3, the quantity produced is 7 bars and the price is $6.
Required:
Using year 1 as the base year, compute nominal GDP, real GDP, and the GDP deflator for each year.
Answer:
Nominal GDP in year 1 = $6
Nominal GDP in year 2 = $20
Nominal GDP in year 3 = $42
Real GDP in year 1 = $6
Real GDP in year 2 = $10
Real GDP in year 3 = $14
GDP deflator in year 1 = 100
GDP deflator in year 2 = 200
GDP deflator in year 3 = 300
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Nominal GDP is GDP calculated using current year prices while Real GDP is GDP calculated using base year prices. Real GDP has been adjusted for inflation.
Nominal GDP = quantity produced x current year price
Nominal GDP in year 1 = (3 x $2) = $6
Nominal GDP in year 2 = 5 x $4 = $20
Nominal GDP in year 3 = 7 x $6 = $42
Real GDP = quantity produced x base year price
Real GDP in year 1 = (3 x $2) = $6
Real GDP in year 2 = 5 x $2 = $10
Real GDP in year 3 = 7 x $2 = $14
GDP deflator = nominal GDP / Real GDP x 100
GDP deflator in year 1 = $6 / $6 x 100 = 100
GDP deflator in year 2 = $20 / $10 x 100= 200
GDP deflator in year 3 = $42 / 14 x 100 = 300

Suppose that, in a competitive market without government regulations, the equilibrium price of milk is $2.50 per gallon, and employees at grocery stores earn $21.50 per hour. Indicate the following whether each of the statements is an example of a price ceiling or a price floor and whether it results in a shortage or a surplus or has no effect on the price and quantity that prevail in the market.
a. There are many teenagers who would like to work at grocery stores, but the minimum-wage law sets the hourly wage at $25.00.
b. The government has instituted a legal minimum price of $2.30 per gallon for milk.
c. The government prohibits grocery stores from selling milk for more than $2.30 per gallon.
Explanation:
at price ceiling we have price set at a maximum level. it cannot be raised beyond this level. At binding price ceiling, price would be set to be lower than what is the equilibrium price level. a non binding price ceiling is set to be higher than equilibrium level.
At price floor, price is set to a particular minimum level. It cannot fall lower than this. At binding price floor, price is higher than equilibrium price' at non binding price floor, it is set to be lower than equilibrium price level.
this expalnation should help us to answer this question.
(a) Many teenagers would like to work but minimum wage is set at 25.00 we have Price floor, Binding
(b) Government instituted legal minimum price of a gallon of milk at $2.30 we have Price floor, Non-binding
(c) if the Government prohibits from selling milk for more than $2.30 per gallon then we have Price ceiling, Binding

Julie Brown is a single woman in her late 20s. She is renting an apartment in the fashionable part of town for $1,000 a month. After much thought, she's seriously considering buying a condominium for $175,000. She intends to put 20 percent down and expects that closing costs will amount to another $5,000; a commercial bank has agreed to lend her money at the fixed rate of 6 percent on a 15-year mortgage. Julie would have to pay an annual condominium owner's insurance premium of $560 and property taxes of $1,000 a year (she's now paying renter's insurance of $550 per year). In addition, she estimates that annual maintenance expenses will be about 0.5 percent of the price of the condo (which includes a $30 monthly fee to the property owners' association). Julie's income puts her in the 25 percent tax bracket (she itemizes her deductions on her tax returns), and she earns an after-tax rate of return on her investments of around 4 percent.
Required:
a. Evaluate and compare Julie’s alternatives of remaining in the apartment or purchasing the condo.
b. Working with a friend who is a realtor, Julie has learned that condos like the one that she’s thinking of buying are appreciating in value at the rate of 3.5 percent a year and are expected to continue doing so. Would such information affect the rent-or-buy decision made in a?
c. Discuss any other factors that should be considered when making a rent-or-buy decision.
d. Which alternative would you recommend for Julie in light of your analysis?
Answer:
a. Julie should continue live in her own apartment.
b. She should then purchase the condo
c. Home maintenance cost and tax benefit.
d. She should live in her own apartment and rent the condo after purchase.
Explanation:
Buying cost of condo $175,000
Loan interest amount $8,400 [ $175,000 * 80% * 6%]
Insurance premium $10 [560 - 550]
Property taxes $1,000
Maintenance expense $875 [$175,000 * 0.5%]
Total additional cost per year $10,280
If Julie plans to buy the condo she will have to incur additional cost of $10,280 per annum.
b. If the price of condo increases by 3.5% per year then she should consider buying the condo.

Answer:
Growing the country's economy Aiding in the creation of capital formation Managing and mitigating the risksExplanation:
The Financial system is very important because it helps grow the economy of the country. They do this by creating capital when they transfer funds from those who have it (savers) to those who need it (borrowers). These borrowers will then use it to invest in projects that will grow the economy.
The Financial system also works to manage and mitigate risk because they have experience in such areas and are able to discern which projects to go after to avoid or properly manage risk.
Consider the experiments. Experiment 1: A study is done to determine which of two fuel mixtures allows a rocket to travel farther over a period of time. Rocket A, which requires additional equipment to keep it stable, is used to test one fuel mixture, and rocket B is used to test the other. Both rockets are identical aside from their mass. The results indicate that rocket B traveled farther than rocket A over the same period of time. Experiment 2: A double-blind experiment is performed to test whether a new drug is effective in lowering blood pressure. A random sample of subjects with high blood pressure is assigned to two groups. One group receives the new drug and the other group does not. Neither group is permitted to take any other medications during the experiment or to change their lifestyles in any way. The results of the experiment show that the drug is effective in lowering blood pressure.
Identify the experiment in which confounding occurs and the reason for its occurrence.
a. Neither experiment has a confounding variable.
b. Experiment 1 has a confounding variable related to the fuel mixtures. Varying the fuel mixture could skew the results of the study and should be kept constant.
c. Experiment 2 has a confounding variable related to the type of experiment. A double-blind experiment may increase the risk of the placebo effect and possibly skew the results.
d. Experiment 1 has a confounding variable related to the mass of the rockets. Any variation in mass may cause a discrepancy in the distance traveled.
e. Experiment 2 has a confounding variable related to the subjects used. Choosing a sample of subjects with high blood pressure instead of individuals with different blood pressure levels may confuse the results.
Answer:
d. Experiment 1 has a confounding variable related to the mass of the rockets. Any variation in mass may cause a discrepancy in the distance traveled.
Explanation:
Both experiments have confounding variables. But the reasons given for the occurrence of the confounder in experiment 2 do not justify (c) and (e) as correct answers. By definition, confounders are factors other than the independent variable that cause differences in outcome. For experiment 1, the different masses of the two rockets affect the independent variable (fuel mixture) being studied, and actually cause the discrepancy in the distance traveled as indicated in answer (d). Other examples of confounders are placebo, weather, age, and experimenter bias which a double-blind can eliminate.

a. Current Ratio = current assets / current liabilities = 190,000 / 153,000 = 1.24
b. Acid-test ratio = (current assets - inventory) / current liabilities = (190,000 - 50,000) / 153,000 = 0.92
c. Times interest earned = EBIT / interest expense = 65,000 / 8,000 = 8.13
d. Inventory turnover = COGS / inventory = 90,000 / 50,000 = 1.8
e. Total asset turnover = net sales / total assets = 210,000 / 525,000 = 0.4
f. Operating profit margin = operating income / total sales = 65,000 / 210,000 = 0.31
g. Days in receivables = (accounts receivables / total sales) x 365 = (30,000 / 210,000) x 365 = 52.14 days
h. Operating return on assets = operating income / total assets = 65,000 / 525,000 = 0.12
i. Debt ratio = total liabilities / total assets = 273,000 / 525,000 = 0.52
j. Fixed asset turnover = total sales / fixed assets = 210,000 / 335,000 = 0.63
k. Return on equity = net income / total equity = 45,030 / 252,000 = 0.18
Robert G. Flanders Jr., the state-appointed receiver for Central Falls, RI, said his city's declaration of bankruptcy had proved invaluable in helping it cut costs. Before the city declared bankruptcy, he said, he had found it impossible to wring meaningful concessions out of the city's unions and retirees, who were being asked to give up roughly half of the pensions they had earned as the city ran out of cash.
True or False
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Missing question: The ability to declare bankruptcy increased the disagreement value of the city during negotiation with the unions
Alternatives available to an agreement determine the terms of an agreement. If bankruptcy is been declared in a situation where the cities can manipulate and evade much of their pension obligations owed to unions, such scenarios gives the city a much better alternative, if the favorable agreement with the city's unions and retirees emerge.

Etxuck327 Inc. sells a particular textbook for $39. Variable expenses are $28 per book. At the current volume of 49,000 books sold per year the company is just breaking even. Given these data, the annual fixed expenses associated with the textbook total:
Answer:
539,000.00
Explanation:
As per the contribution margin analysis concept, the break-even point is obtained by dividing fixed cost by contribution margin per unit.
For Etuck327,
The selling price is $39
Variable expense is $28
Break-even in units is 49,000 books.
Contribution margin per unit = selling price - variable costs
=$39- $28
=$11
if Break-even = fixed cost/ contribution margin per unit, then
49,000= fixed cost / 11
fixed costs = 11 x 49000
Fixed costs = 539,000.00

= 3,638.25 - .148 totwrk - 11.13 educ + 2.20 age n = 706, R2 = .113.
If someone works five more hours per week, by how many minutes is sleep predicted to fall? Is this a large tradeoff?
(iv) Discuss the sign and magnitude of the estimated coefficient on educ.
(v) Would you say totwrk, educ, and age explain much of the variation in sleep? What other factors might affect the time spent sleeping? Are these likely to be correlated with totwrk?
Use the data in SLEEP75.RAW from Biddle and Hamermesh (1990) to study whether there is a tradeoff between the time spent sleeping per week and the time spent in paid work. We could use either variable as the dependent variable. For concreteness, estimate the model
sleep =β0+ β1totwrk+u, where sleep is minutes spent sleeping at night per week and totwrk is total minutes worked during the week.
(i) Report your results in equation form along with the number of observations and R2. What does the intercept in this equation mean?
(ii) If totwrk increases by 2 hours, by how much is sleep estimated to fall? Do you find this to be a large effect?
Answer:
1. I²1 will have a negative sign
This is because the more work the adults do, the less sleep they will utilize.
2. The sign of i²2 is likely to be negative. This is because due to the demands placed on them, more educated people are likely to sleep less. Also, general as age increases some people sleep less. While some others sleep more as it increases. So i²3 is a bit complicated to judge.
3. Using the data
^sleep = 3638.24-0.148toteork-11.13educ + 2.20age
N = 706 r² = 0.113
We will convert 5 hours to minutes = 60x5 = 300
Coefficient of totwork = 0.148
O.148x300 = 44.4 minutes
In a week approximately 45 minutes of less sleep is not too much a change.
4. We are to discuss the sign and magnitude of estimated education
More education indicates less sleeping time. This is obvious given the sign of the variable educ. It is negative, but it's effect is quite small. Magnitude is -11.13.
So as education increases by 1 year, expected sleeping time decreases by 11.13 minutes weekly.
5. R² is 0.113. the 3 predictor variables gives us 11.3% of total variations in sleep and rest. 88.7% is unexplained.
Some factors that might also affect it are general health, number and age of children are factors that could correlate with totwork
A remotely located air sampling station can be powered by solar cells or by running an electric line to the site and using conventional power. Solar cells will cost $12,600 to install and will have a useful life of 4 years with no salvage value. Annual costs for inspection, cleaning, etc. are expected to be $1,400. A new power line will cost $11,000 to install, with power costs expected to be $800 per year. Since the air sampling project will end in 4 years, the salvage value of the line is considered to be zero. At an interest rate of 10% per year, which alternative should be selected on the basis of a future worth analysis?
Answer:
Since the total future worth of running an electric line of $19,353.42 is less than the total future worth of solar cells is $24,132.22, it implies that it will be cheaper to run an electric line than to use solar cells. Therefore, running an electric line should be selected.
Explanation:
The future worth analysis refers to an act of determining what the the worth of present amount of money or stream of money invested at an interest rate will after in some period or years to come.
To determine which one to select between solar cells and running an electric line, the we need to calculate the future worth of both and compared as follows:
a. Calculation of future value of solar cells
Calculation of future worth of $12,600 installation cost
FW of $12,600 = PW of $12,600 * (1 + r)^n ................ (1)
Where;
FW of $12,600 = Future worth of $12,600 installation cost = ?
PW of $12,600 = Present worth of $12,600 installation cost = $12,600
r = interest rate = 10%, or 0.10
n = number of years = 4
Substitute the values into equation (1), we have:
FW of $12,600 = $12,600 * (1 + 0.10)^4
FW of $12,600 = $12,600 * 1.4641
FW of $12,600 = $18,447.66
Calculation of future worth of annual costs for inspection, cleaning, etc. of $1,400
The future worth of annual costs for inspection, cleaning, etc. of $1,400 can also be calculated using the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:
FW of $1,400 = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (2)
Where,
FW of $1,400 = Future value of Annual costs for inspection, cleaning, etc. of $1,400 =?
M = Annual costs for inspection, cleaning, etc. = $1,400
r = interest rate = 10%, or 0.10
n = number of years = 4
Substitute the values into equation (2), we have:
FW of $1,400 = $1,400 * (((1 + 0.01)^4 - 1) / 0.01)
FW of $1,400 = $1,400 * 4.060401
FW of $1,400 = $5,684.56
Calculation of total future worth of solar cells
This is calculated by simply adding the FW of $12,600 and FW of $1,400 as follows:
Total future worth of solar cells = FW of $12,600 + FW of $1,400 = $18,447.66 + $5,684.56 = $24,132.22
Therefore, the total future worth of solar cells is $24,132.22.
b. Calculation of future value of running an electric line
Calculation of future worth of $11,000 installation cost
FW of $11,000 = PW of $11,000 * (1 + r)^n ................ (3)
Where;
FW of $11,000 = Future worth of $11,000 installation cost = ?
PW of $11,000 = Present worth of $11,000 installation cost = $11,000
r = interest rate = 10%, or 0.10
n = number of years = 4
Substitute the values into equation (3), we have:
FW of $11,000 = $11,000 * (1 + 0.10)^4
FW of $11,000 = $11,000 * 1.4641
FW of $11,000 = $16,105.10
Calculation of future worth of expected annual power costs of $800
The future worth of expected annual power costs of $800 can also be calculated using the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:
FW of $800 = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (4)
Where,
FW of $800 = Future value of expected annual power costs of $800 =?
M = Expected annual power costs = $800
r = interest rate = 10%, or 0.10
n = number of years = 4
Substitute the values into equation (4), we have:
FW of $800 = $800 * (((1 + 0.01)^4 - 1) / 0.01)
FW of $800 = $800 * 4.060401
FW of $800 = $3,248.32
Calculation of total future worth of running an electric line
This is calculated by simply adding the FW of $11,000 and FW of $800 as follows:
Total future worth of running an electric line = FW of $11,000 + FW of $800 = $16,105.10 + $3,248.32 = $19,353.42
Therefore, the total future worth of running an electric line is $19,353.42.
c. Conclusion
Since the total future worth of running an electric line of $19,353.42 is less than the total future worth of solar cells is $24,132.22, it implies that it will be cheaper to run an electric line than to use solar cells. Therefore, running an electric line should be selected.
Calloway Company recorded a right-of-use asset of $790,000 in a 10-year finance lease. The interest rate charged by the lessor was 10%. The balance in the right-of-use asset after two years will be:
Answer:
$632,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of balance in the right of use asset after two years is shown below:
Balance in right of use asset after 2 years is
= Recorded value - ((Recorded value × rate of interest) × number of years)
= $790,000 - (($790,000 × 10%) × 2)
= $790,000 - ($79,000 × 2)
= $790,000 - $158,000
= $632,000
hence, the balance is $632,000
f Europe has a real GDP growth rate of 5%, and the United States has a real GDP growth rate of 6%, while money growth in Europe is 7%, and money growth in the United States is 5%, what would the monetary exchange rate model predict for exchange rates in the long run
Answer:
the dollar will appreciate by 3% against the euro
Explanation:
long run change in the exchange rate = (growth rate money supply Europe - growth rate money supply US) - (growth rate real GDP Europe - growth rate real GDP US) = (7% - 5%) - (5% - 6%) = 2% - (-1%) = 2% + 1% = 3%
This is a very simplistic approach to the monetary exchange rate model, but since we are given only this information, it's all that we can use.
Seiko’s current salary is $85,000. Her marginal tax rate is 32 percent and she fancies European sports cars. She purchases a new auto each year. Seiko is currently a manager for an Idaho Office Supply. Her friend, knowing of her interest in sports cars, tells her about a manager position at the local BMW and Porsche dealer. The new position pays only $75,000 per year, but it allows employees to purchase one new car per year at a discount of $15,000. This discount qualifies as a nontaxable fringe benefit. In an effort to keep Seiko as an employee, Idaho Office Supply offers her a $10,000 raise. Answer the following questions about this analysis.
Problem 12-41
Part a a. Assuming it has a 21 percent marginal tax rate, what is the annual after-tax cost to Idaho Office Supply to provide Seiko with the $10,000 increase in salary?
Answer:
$7,900
Explanation:
Calculation for the annual after-tax cost
Additional salary = $ 10,000
Marginal tax rate=21%
First step is to find the income tax benefit
Income tax benefit = $ 10,000 x 21%
Income tax benefit= $ 2,100
Second step is to find the Annual after tax cost of additional salary
Annual after tax cost of additional salary = $ 10,000 - $2,100
Annual after tax cost of additional salary = $7,900
Therefore the annual after-tax cost will be $7,900

Royalties are payable semiannually on March 15 for sales in July through December of the prior year, and on September 15 for sales in January through June of the same year. Bird received the following royalties from Brian:
March 15 September 15
20X4 $5,000 $7,500
20X5 6,000 8,500
Brian estimated that the sales of the trademarked items would total $30,000 for July through December 20X5. In Bird's 20X5 Income Statement, the royalty revenue should be:______.
a. $13,000.
b. $14,500.
c. $19,000.
d. $20,500.
Answer:
a. $13,000
Explanation:
Calculation for what royalty revenue should be
First step is to find the estimated amount for the second half of the year
Royalties for the second half =
15%*$30,000
Royalties for the second half= $4,500
Now let Compute for the total royalty revenue
Total royalty revenue for 20X5=$8,500+$4,500
Total royalty revenue for 20X5=$13,000
Therefore the royalty revenue should be $13,000

One-year Treasury securities yield 4.85%. The market anticipates that 1 year from now, 1-year Treasury securities will yield 5.2%. If the pure expectations theory is correct, what is the yield today for 2-year Treasury securities
Answer:
5.025%
Explanation:
When we assume that the pure expectations theory is correct, then we are assuming that there is no risk premium involved. The formula to determine the yield for the 2 year treasury security:
(1 + i)² = (1 + 4.85%) x (1 + 5.2%)
(1 + i)² = 1.0485 x 1.052
(1 + i)² = 1.103022
√(1 + i)² = √1.103022
1 + i = 1.050248542
i = 0.050248542 = 5.025%
Deferral adjustments are needed when the business:
a. Pays cash after the expense has been incurred.
b. Unanswered pays cash before the expense has been incurred.
c. Unanswered receives cash after the revenue has been generated.
d. Unanswered receives cash before the revenue has been generated.
Answer:
The correct answers are the options B and D: Pays cash before the expense has been incurred. And receives cash before the revenue has been generated.
Explanation:
To begin with, in the accounting field the term of "Deferral Adjustments" refers to those that the accountant does when they postpone the report of it in the income statement until a later period, so that means that when an event happens they might decide to postpone the report of that particular transaction doing what it is called "defer". Moreover, the two most common cases when the accountants use this technique are the ones choosen from the options, the cases B and D.

Marketing by the Numbers: Pricey Sheets
Many luxury sheets cost less than $200 to make but sell for more than $500 in retail stores. Some cost even more consumers pay almost $3,000 for Frett'e "Tangeri Pizzo king-size luxury linens. The creators of a new brand of luxury linens, called Boll & Branch, have entered this market and are determining the price at which to sell their sheets directly to consumers online. They want to price their sheets lower than most brands but still want to earn an adequate margin on sales. The sheets come in a luxurious box that can be reused to store lingerie, jewelry, or other keepsakes. The Boll & Branch brand touts fair trade practices when sourcing its high-grade long staple organic cotton from India. Given the cost information below, refer to Appendix 2: Marketing by the Numbers to answer the following questions.
Cost/King-size Set
Raw Cotton $28.00
Spinning/Weaving/Dyeing $12,00
Cut/Sew/Finishing $10,00
Material Transportation $3,00
Factory Fee $16,00
Inspection and Import Fees $14,00
Ocean Freight/Insurance $5,00
Warehousing $8,00
Packaging $15,00
Promotion $30,00
Customer Shipping $15,00
10-13 Given the cost per king-size sheet set above, and assuming the manufacturer has total fixed costs of $500,000 and estimates first year sales will be 50,000 sets, determine the price to consumers if the company desires a 40 percent margin on sales.
10-14 If the company decides to sell through retailers instead of directly to consumers online, to maintain the consumer price you calculated in the previous question, at what price must it sell the product to a wholesaler who then sells it to retailers? Assume wholesalers desire a 10 percent margin and retailers get a 20 percent margin, both based on their respective selling prices.
Answer:
10-13 Given the cost per king-size sheet set above, and assuming the manufacturer has total fixed costs of $500,000 and estimates first year sales will be 50,000 sets, determine the price to consumers if the company desires a 40 percent margin on sales.
variable cost per unit = 28 + 12 + 10 + 3 + 16 + 14 + 5 + 8 + 15 + 30 + 15 = $156
average fixed cost per unit = $500,000 / 50,000 units = $10
total cost per unit = $166
desired profit margin = 40%, so total costs must be 60% of selling price
selling price = $166 / 60% = $276.67 ≈ $277 per unit
10-14 If the company decides to sell through retailers instead of directly to consumers online, to maintain the consumer price you calculated in the previous question, at what price must it sell the product to a wholesaler who then sells it to retailers? Assume wholesalers desire a 10 percent margin and retailers get a 20 percent margin, both based on their respective selling prices.
retailers' margin = $277 x 20% = $55.40
selling price to retailers = $277 - $55.40 = $221.60
wholesalers' margin = $221.60 x 10% = $22.16
selling price to wholesalers = $221.60 - $22.16 = $199.44 per unit
