If a country's nominal interest rate is zero, then Group of answer choices the country's economy is in a liquidity trap. monetary policy is likely to be very effective in stimulating the economy. exchange rates with other countries are likely to increase. exchange rates with other countries are likely to decline. the country's economy has achieved monetary equilibrium.
Answer:
the country's economy is in a liquidity trap.
Explanation:
A liquidity trap exists when interest rate are close to or equal to zero.
When there is a liquidity trap, expansionary monetary supply would not work because people would prefer to hold cash due to the believe that a negative economic event is about to occur e.g. deflation
When there is a liquidity trap, individuals prefer to save their monies rather than buy bonds
Liquidity trap was first discovered by John M. Keynes
Solutions to liquidity trap
1. Policies that would make savings less attractive
2, Increased government spending
Liquidity trap occurred in Japan in the 1990s and this led to a deflation
why do we have a graduated income tax?
In supply and demand theory, an increase in consumer income for a normal good will: A. Shift the demand curve in and to the left, lowering the equilibrium price but raising the equilibrium quantity. B. Shift the demand curve out and to the right, raising the equilibrium price and quantity. C. Shift the supply curve out and to the right, lowering the equilibrium price but raising the equilibrium quantity. D. Shift the supply curve in and to the left, lowering the equilibrium price and quantity. E. Shift the demand curve out and to the right, lowering the equilibrium price but raising the equilibrium quantity.
Answer:
b
Explanation:
Normal goods are goods that are goods whose demand increases when income increases and falls when income falls
If income increases, demand increases. the demand curve shifts to the right. This leads to an increase in equilibrium price and quantity

Required:
a. Compute cost of goods manufactured.
b. Compute cost of goods sold.
Answer:
a. $352,200
b. $372,100
Explanation:
The cost of goods manufactured
Consider only the manufacturing costs
Cost of goods manufactured = $122,200 + $69,200 + $17,600 + $113,100 + $34,000 + $13,300 - $17,200
=$352,200
Cost of goods sold
Add Cost of goods manufactured to the net of Finished inventory balance
Cost of goods sold = $47,900 $68,800 + $352,200 - $47,900
= $372,100

Howard Co.'s 2016 income from continuing operations before income taxes was $280,000. Howard Co. reported before-tax income on discontinued operations of $50,000. All tax items are subject to a 40% tax rate. In its income statement for 2016, Howard Co. would show which of the following line-item amounts for net income and income tax expense:
a. $213,600 and $117,600 respectively.
b. $356,000 and $318,800 respectively.
c. $117,600 and $213,600 respectively.
d. $232,000 and $269,200 respectively.
Answer:
$198,000 and $112,000 respectively
Explanation:
Income tax expense = Income from continuing operations before income taxes * Tax rate
Income tax expense = $280,000 * 40%
Income tax expense = $112,000
Net income = Income from continuing operations before income taxes - Income tax expense + (Before-tax income on discontinued operations * (1 - 40%)
Net income = ($280,000 - $112,000) + ($50,000 * 0.6)
Net income = $168,000 + $30,000
Net income = $198,000
Florissa's Flowers jointly produces three varieties of flowers in the same garden: tulips, lilies, and daisies. The flowers are all watered via the same irrigation system and all receive the same amount of water; daisies require three times as much as lilies, and the water required for tulips is about halfway between the amounts needed for daisies and lilies. Although the lilies and tulips receive more water than they need due to the joint irrigation process, they are not hurt by the overwatering. The joint production cost of the three varieties of flowers is about $30 per harvest. Every harvest yields 10 tulips, 20 lilies, and 20 daisies
Allocate the joint costs of production to each product using the physical units method.
Joint Product Flowers per Harvest Proportion Joint Costs Allocation
Tulip % $ $
Lily %

Red Blossom Corporation transferred its 40 percent interest to Tea Company as part of a complete liquidation of the company. In the exchange, Red Blossom received land with a fair market value of $637,500. The corporation's basis in the Tea Company stock was $302,500. The land had a basis to Tea Company of $672,500. What amount of gain does Red Blossom recognize in the exchange and what is its basis in the land it receives
Answer: $335,000 gain recognized and a basis in the land of $637,500
Explanation:
We should realise that this is a taxable exchange, therefore, the amount of gain that Red Blossom recognize in the exchange will be the difference between the fair market value of $637,500 and the corporation's basis in the Tea Company stock which was $302,500. This will be:
= $637500 - $302500
= $335000
Its basis in the land will be the value of the fair value which will be $637500
When a firm declares bankruptcy, Group of answer choices the claims of preferred shareholders are honored before those of the common shareholders. the maximum that shareholders can lose is their original investment in the firm's stock. bond holders have claim to what is left from the liquidation of the firm's assets after paying the shareholders. the maximum that shareholders can lose is their original investment in the firm's stock AND the claims of preferred shareholders are honored before those of the common shareholders. the owners of common stock are the first in line to receive their claims on the firm's assets.
Answer:
the maximum that shareholders can lose is their original investment in the firm's stock AND the claims of preferred shareholders are honored before those of the common shareholders.
Explanation:
Bankruptcy may be defined as the legal proceedings that involves a person or a business where the person or the business firm is not able to repay the debts that are outstanding. When a firm or a person files a bankruptcy, there is an automatic stay put by the court that blocks the debts.
In case of bankruptcy the different shareholders of the firm losses a maximum of their original investment that they have done in the firm while purchasing the stocks. And also the claims of the preferred shareholders are being honored first than those of common shareholders.

A sole proprietor in the 37% tax bracket pays her 16-year-old son a reasonable salary of $14,000 for services performed for the proprietorship. Compute the family's income tax savings if the son has no other income and takes a $12,400 standard deduction.
Answer: $5020
Explanation:
The family's income tax savings if the son has no other income and takes a $12,400 standard deduction will be calculated as:
Explanation:
Tax savings from deduction = ($14,000 × 37%) = $5180
Less: Tax on child's taxable income = 10% × ($14,000 - $12,400) = 10% × $1600 = $160
Family's income tax savings = $5180 - $160 = $5020

Marigold Corp. uses the periodic inventory system. For the current month, the beginning inventory consisted of 477 units that cost $65 each. During the month, the company made two purchases: 715 units at $68 each and 364 units at $70 each. Marigold Corp. also sold 1197 units during the month. Using the LIFO method, what is the amount of cost of goods sold for the month?
Answer:
COGS= $81,770
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning inventory= 477 units that cost $65 each.
Purchases:
715 units at $68 each
364 units at $70 each.
Units sold= 1,197
To calculate the cost of goods sold under the LIFO (last-in, first-out) method, we need to use the cost of the lasts units incorporated into inventory:
COGS= 364*70 + 715*68 + 118*65
COGS= $81,770
Sarafiny Corporation is in the process of preparing its annual budget. The following beginning and ending inventory levels are planned for the year. Beginning Inventory Ending Inventory Finished goods (units) 30,000 80,000 Raw material (grams) 60,000 50,000 Each unit of finished goods requires 3 grams of raw material. The company plans to sell 770,000 units during the year. How much of the raw material should the company purchase during the year
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Raw materials purchased is computed as;
Raw material purchase = Ending inventory + required for production - beginning inventory
= 50,000 + ((80,000 + 770,000 - 30,000) × 3) - 60,000
= 50,000 + 2,460,000 - 60,000
= 2,450,000 grams
Consider two $10,000 face value corporate bonds. Bond A is currently selling for $9,980 and matures in 15 years. The Bond B sells for $9,350 and matures in 3 years. a) Calculate the current yield as a percentage to 2 decimal places for both bonds if both have a coupon rate equal to 5%. Bond A % Bond B % b) Calculate the yield to maturity as a percentage to 2 decimal places for both bonds if both have a coupon rate equal to 5%. Bond A % Bond B % Which current yield is a better approximation of the yield to maturity, A or B
Solution :
Current yield of the Bond if the bonds are selling at a price of $ 9980.
Current yield = annual coupon amount / current selling price
Current yield [tex]$=\frac{10000 \times 5\%}{9980}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{500}{9980}$[/tex]
= 0.0501
= 5.01 %
The current yield of a bond if the bonds are selling at $ 9350
Current yield = annual coupon amount / current selling price
Current yield [tex]$=\frac{10000 \times 5\%}{9350}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{500}{9350}$[/tex]
= 0.0535
= 5.35 %

Consider the simple 3-station assembly line illustrated below, where the 2 machines at Station 1 are parallel, i.e., the product only needs to go through one of the 2 machines before proceeding to Station 2. Station 1 Machine A has a capacity of 3 units per hour; Station 1 Machine B has a capacity of 3 units per hour; Station 2 has a capacity of 5 units per hour; Station 3 has a capacity of 10 units per hour What is the bottleneck time of this process
Answer:
The bottleneck time for this process is 20 minutes.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Station Capacity per hour Time required per unit
1 A 3 20 minutes (60/3)
1 B 3 20 minutes (60/3)
2 5 12 minutes (60/5)
3 10 6 minutes (60/10)
Total demand for the process = 38 minutes (20+12+6)
b) The bottleneck is the station that requires the longest time for its outputs to be processed. The bottleneck in this process is given by Station One, requiring 20 minutes to meet output requirements through either machine A or machine B. The bottleneck constitutes a constraint on the process capacity to achieve results.
Bing Book Bindery has identified two activity cost pools: printing, with an activity driver of batches processed, and binding, with an activity driver of direct labor hours. For the coming quarter, total factory overhead of $140,000 is split such that 65% is allocated to printing and 35% is allocated to binding. Bing makes two types of books: hard cover and soft cover. During the quarter, it expects to produce 5,200 hard cover books and 12,000 soft cover books. Hard covers are produced in batch sizes of 100 and soft covers are produced in batch sizes of 300. A hard cover book requires 0.75 hours of direct labor, while a soft cover book requires 0.25 hours. What is the overhead allocation to soft covers for printing

Isaac Inc. began operations in January 2021. For some property sales, Isaac recognizes income in the period of sale for financial reporting purposes. However, for income tax purposes, Isaac recognizes income when it collects cash from the buyer's installment payments. In 2021, Isaac had $621 million in sales of this type. Scheduled collections for these sales are as follows:
2021 $61 million
2022 121 million
2023 131 million
2024 152 million
2025 156 million
$621 million
Assume that Isaac has a 25% income tax rate and that there were no other differences in income for financial statement and tax purposes. Ignoring operating expenses and additional sales in 2022, what deferred tax liability would Isaac report in its year-end 2022 balance sheet?
a. $128 million.
b. $59 million.
c. $104 milion.
d. $8 million.
Answer:
$109,750,000
Explanation:
Note: Options provided in the question belong to similar question but different numbers
Deferred Tax liability = (Revenue from specific sales in 2021 - Cash received against it up to 2022) * Tax rate
Deferred Tax liability = ($621 million - $61 million - $121 million) * 25%
Deferred Tax liability = $439 million * 25%
Deferred Tax liability = $109,750,000
When the government imposes an excise tax in a market with a downward-sloping demand curve and an upward-sloping supply curve: _________.
a. consumer surplus falls, producer surplus falls, and a deadweight loss occurs.
b. consumer surplus falls.
c. producer surplus falls.
d. a deadweight loss occurs.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Tax is a compulsory sum levied on the price of goods and services. It increases the price of goods and services
Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.
Consumer surplus = willingness to pay – price of the good
Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least price the seller is willing to sell the product
Producer surplus = price – least price the seller is willing to accept
If tax increases the price of the good, consumer surplus would reduce
For example, willingness to pay is $20, price before tax is $5 and price after tax is $10. consumer surplus becomes $10 when it was $15 initially
Tax reduces the amount that would be received by the seller. This reduces consumer surplus.
Deadweight loss is the decrease in quantity demanded as a result of tax. Because tax increases price, the quantity demanded would reduce
An increase in the price of a good will cause suppliers / producers to__________the amount of the good (quantity supplied). the
Answer:
increase

[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Campus Stop, Inc., is a student co-op. Campus Stop uses a perpetual inventory system. The following transactions (summarized) have been selected for analysis: a. Sold merchandise for cash (cost of merchandise $152,070). $ 275,000 b. Received merchandise returned by customers as unsatisfactory (but in perfect condition) for cash refund (original cost of merchandise $800). 1,600 c. Sold merchandise (costing $9,000) to a customer on account with terms n/30. 20,000 d. Collected half of the balance owed by the customer in (c). 10,000 e. Granted a partial allowance relating to credit sales the customer in (c) had not yet paid. 1,800 Compute the gross profit percentage. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
Answer: 45%
Explanation:
First calculate the sales:
= Cash sales + credit sale
= 275,000 + 20,000
= $295,000
Terms on credit sale was 2/10 n/30 and they paid half in time($10,000) but a partial allowance of $1,800 was granted:
Net sales would be:
= Sales - sales returns - sales discount
= 295,000 - 1,600 - (10,000 * 2%) - 1,800
= $291,400
COGS = 152,070 + 9,000 - 800
= $160,270
Gross profit percentage = (Sales - Cost of goods sold) / Sales
= (291,400 - 160,270) / 291,400 * 100%
= 45%
