Hector was prosecuted following police seizure of 80 pounds of drugs from his airplane. The seizure was held to be unlawful, the evidence was sup- pressed, and the suit against Hector was dismissed. He sued the government officials involved in his arrest and prosecution to recover $3,500 in bail bond expenses, $23,000 in attorney's fees, and $2,000 in travel costs. The district court held he could not recover the costs incurred during the criminal prosecution. Hector appealed. Can he recover the costs? (Hector v. Watt, 235 F.3d 154, 3rd Cir. (2000)]

Answers

Answer:

Hector will lose.

Explanation:

If someone suffers an illegal search or seizure, he/she can recover any costs associated with that incident, e.g. property damage, injuries (both physical or to their reputation, lawyers, etc.). But if the illegal search actually results in some criminal evidence being discovered, then you cannot recover any costs.  Anything seized illegally will be dismissed, but the reward is not going to jail even if they committed a crime, they get no money back.

Why only ask for a refund of his lawyer's fees, he should also ask for a refund for the value of the drugs? This lawsuit is absolutely ridiculous.

Consider a simple example economy where there are two goods, coconuts and restaurant meals (coconut-based). There are two firms. A coconut producer collects and sells 10 million coconuts at $2.00 each. The firm pays $5 million in wages, $0.5 million in interest on an old loan, and $1.5 million in taxes to the government. We also know that 4 million coconuts are sold to the public for consumption, and 6 million coconuts are sold to the restaurant firm, which uses them to prepare meals. The restaurant sells $30 million in meals. The restaurant pays $4 million in wages and the government $3 million in taxes. The government supplies security and accounting services and employs only labor, and government workers are paid $5.5 million, collected in taxed by the government. Finally, consumers pay $1 million in taxes to the government in addition to the taxes paid by the two firms.

Required:
a. Compute GDP for this simple economy using the product approach.
b. Compute GDP for this simple economy using the expenditure approach.
c. Compute GDP for this simple economy using the income approach.

Answers

Answer:

1) GDP using product Approach ; Market value of all goods and services produced

= Coconut + Restaurant meal

= 10 million*$2 + ($30 million - $6 million*$2) as 6 million coconuts are sold to restaurant as raw materials so to avoid double counting.

= $20 million + $30 million - $12 million

= $38 million

2) Expenditure Approach : Consumption + Investment + Government Expenditure + Net Exports  

= $4 million * $2 + $30 million + $5.5 million

= $8 million + $30 million + $5.5 million

= $43.5 million

3) Income Approach : Wages + Rent + Interest + Profit

= $5 million + $0.5 million + $1.5 million +$3 million + $4 million + $1 million

= $15 million

Answers

Answer: $56,040,000

Explanation:

Here is the question:

1.Under the current policy of using a network of sales agents, calculate the Bonita Beauty Corporation's break-even point in sales dollars for the year.

Sales = $75,000,000

Less: variable cost = $75,000,000 + ($75,000,000 × 8%) = $31,500,000 + $6,000,000 = $37,500,000

Contribution margin = $37,500,000

Fixed cost = 10,260,000 + 10,260,000 + 7,500,000 = $28,020,000

Operating income = $11,130,000

Contribution margin = 0.5

Break even point in sales will now be:

= Fixed cost/contribution margin ratio

= $28,020,000/0.5

= $56,040,000

One of the disadvantages of the sole proprietorship is related to the fact that the amount of equity capital that can be raised to finance the business is limited to the owner's personal wealth. ____________ is about determining how the firm should finance or pay for assets. The risk manager monitors and manages the firm's risk exposure in financial and commodity markets and the firm's relationships with insurance providers. Privately held, or closely held, corporations are typically owned by a small number of investors, and their shares are not traded publicly.

Answers

Answer:

The missing word is: Financial Risk

Explanation:

To begin with, the name of "Financial Risk" is used in the field of business and finances in order to explain that the companies, and also the government, have to find a way to determine how the firm will finance itself so that they could pay for all the assets they own. Moreover, this financial term implicates the loss of the money that can happen when the company needs to invest in assets and the operations may not go right. So that is why that it is a concept used to understand the danger that the organization has when it comes to acquire the assets and pay for them.

Gina made a down payment on a motorcycle. What incentive did she have for making a down payment?
O A tax break
O A higher loan rate
O A less secure loan
O A reduced time in debt

Answers

Because Gina made a down payment on a motorcycle, an incentive that she have for making such down payment is a reduced time in debt.

What do we mean by down payment?

Basically, a down payment refers to the cash that the buyer pays upfront in a transaction and other large purchases. These payment are typically a percentage of the purchase price and can range from as little as 3% to as much as 20%

Here, she intends to purchase that motorbike on credit and by making a down-payment, she is reducing the amount she needs to borrow to buy the bike. So, a reduced loan amount means that Gina will require less to repay which implies that the interest to be paid will reduce.

Pham can work as many or as few hours as she wants at the college bookstore for $12 per hour. But due to her hectic schedule, she has just 15 hours per week that she can spend working at either the bookstore or other potential jobs. One potential job, at a café, will pay her $15 per hour for up to 6 hours per week. She has another job offer at a garage that will pay her $13 an hour for up to 5 hours per week. And she has a potential job at a daycare center that will pay her $11.50 per hour for as many hours as she can work.

If her goal is to maximize the amount of money she can make each week, how many hours will she work at the bookstore?

Answers

Answer:

4 hours

Explanation:

For Pham to maximize her income, she must consider the jobs with the highest per-hour earnings first. She has 15 hours to work. Her priorities should be as below.

Work at the cafe for 6 hours for $15 per hourWork at the garage for 5 hours  for $13 per hourWork at the books store for 4 hours for $12 per hour

A  total of 15 hours. Pham can work at the book store for 4 hours per week to maximize her income.

Pham will have to work 4 hour per week at the bookstore to maximize her pay.

Given data

Total number of hours available per week = 15 hours

Cafe will pay her $15 per hour up to 6 hoursGarage offers $13 per hour up to 5 hoursDycare Centre offers $11.50 per hours for as long as she can work

Out of the potential job, only the cafe and garage centre pay is more than the pay of bookstore

Hence, in order to maximize the amount of money, Pham have to devote 6 hours at the cafe, 5 hours at the garage centre and remaining 4 hours at bookstore,

In this way, the amount of money she will receives will be at maximum.

Working at Cafe she will make $15 * 6 = $90 Working at Garage centre she will make $13 * 5 = $65Working at Bookstore she will make $12*4 = $48

Total amount she will earn = $90 + $65 + $48

Total amount she will earn = $203

Therefore, Pham will have to work 4 hour per week at the bookstore to maximize her pay.

= Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin ratio

= ($3,600) ÷ ($7.2 ÷ $16)

= $3,600 ÷ 0.45

= $8,000

1. Rosa Green estimates the cost of future projects for a large contracting firm. Rosa uses precisely the same techniques to estimate the costs of every potential job and formulates bids by adding a standard profit markup. For some companies, to which the firm offers its services, there are no competitors also seeking their business, so Rosa's company is almost certain to get these companies as clients. For these jobs, Rosa finds that her cost estimates are right, on average. For jobs where competitors are also vying for the business, Rosa finds that they almost always end up costing more than she estimates.

a. True
b. False

2. Rosa is less likely to win the jobs where she underestimates the costs, causing her to experience the winner's curse.

a. False
b. True

Answers

Answer:

1) a. True

Rosa is almost always right when she knows that her company is a monopoly, i.e. has no competition, but is generally wrong when her company has to compete with other contractors. It is simple, a monopolist can decide which markup percentage to use, and can use a really high one, but when competition exists, markups are not so high and profits not so abundant. That is why she almost always gets it wrong when having to deal with other competitors.

2) a. False

The winner's curse usually happens when someone wins a bid over some contract or asset, but then they realize that the actual price of the contract or asset was lower than the bid. E.g. in an auction, two people are fighting over to see who buys an antique car which increases the price of the car way beyond the real market value. But it can also happen to a company that offers very low prices, and then after they won a contract, cannot perform properly because their actual costs are higher.

When a company makes an offer, they are certain about the price of the contract and they should know the value of the services or goods that they are offering. If Rosa underestimates her costs, and prepares her offer using unrealistically low costs, then she will probably win the bid but end up losing money.

Bernie and Phil's Great American Surplus store placed an ad in the Sunday Times stating, "Next Saturday at 8:00 A.M. sharp 3 brand new mink coats worth $5,000 each will be sold for $500 each! First come, First served." Marsha LufMin was first in line when the store opened and went directly to the coat department, but the coats identified in the ad were not available for sale. She identified herself to the manager and pointed out that she was first in line in conformity with the store's advertised offer and that she was ready to pay the $500 price set forth in the store's offer. The manager responded that a newspaper ad is just an invitation to negotiate and that the store decided to withdraw "the mink coat promotion." Review the text on unilateral contracts in Section 12(b) of Chapter 12. Decide.

Answer:

This technique is called "bait and switch", it is illegal and is considered false advertising. A seller cannot falsely advertise a product and then simply say that they do not have it on stock. It is a type of sales fraud and it is prohibited by the Lanham Act.

In order for this situation to be considered legal, the seller must have advertised and sold a certain amount of coats, but it didn't sell any. I.e. the seller runs out of stock because it already sold the 3 coats.

This activity is important because any business that offers multiple product lines to multiple market segments is faced with the task of making the product/market decisions and prioritizing those decisions. Products and market segments that are growing quickly and are very profitable should get more attention and resources than a product and market segment that does not show as much potential.
Once a marketing manager creates a market-product grid, they must select which segments to target. To do this, the marketing manager should use several criteria in assessing the different segments. Those criteria include: market size, expected growth, competitive position, cost of reaching the segment, and the compatibility with the organization's objectives and resources.
The goal of this exercise is to demonstrate your understanding of the market-product development process by analyzing a gift shop's markets and products.
Read the case below and then answer the questions that follow as you consider its markets and product offerings.
A small local gift shop recently marked its 25th anniversary of being in business. Over that time, the owners have continually changed the products sold in its store to reflect changes in the market. From the early days of selling small gift-type items such as figurines and collectibles, the store now offers a more eclectic mix of merchandise that includes Vera Bradley purses and inexpensive jewelry, as well as items that could be classified as "gift-type" products and merchandise that is best described as "collectibles."
However, the demographics of the store's market, as well as the needs of that market, seem to be changing. There has been an influx of younger customers (20s and 30s) into the area, which has brought the average age of the area down by 9.8 years. This rapidly growing segment doesn't seem interested in buying the same collectibles that their parents bought. Many older residents (60s and 70s) have been leaving the area for retirement. The older customers are still buying the collectibles, but are also buying gifts for children and grandchildren for holidays and special occasions. Indeed, while sales of merchandise aimed at the younger customers have grown 30 percent, sales to the older crowd have been flat. And the younger group has now passed the older segment in terms of the size of the population. While there are other stores in the area selling similar merchandise, this gift shop has managed to get an exclusive on the Vera Bradley line, which has been popular with the younger customers. The owners of the gift shop are considering which market segment should be the focus of their attention and limited resources. This is an especially critical decision because of the limited space in the store and the need to add fixtures for carrying some of the collectible items that are coming on the market.
Based on the limited information in the case, which market segment is larger?
a) the over-80 segment
b) all segments are the same size
c) the 60s and 70s segment
d) the 20s and 30s segment

Answers

Answer:

d) the 20s and 30s segment

Explanation:

The case clearly states "And the younger group has now passed the older segment in terms of the size of the population."

Besides the fact that there are more younger people than older people in the area, the demographic of the store's customers is changing also: "... sales of merchandise aimed at the younger customers have grown 30 percent, sales to the older crowd have been flat.".

We can imply that the store's largest market segment is young people in their 20s and 30s.

Apply What You’ve Learned - Managing Credit Cards and ConsumerLoans
Scenario: You are 30 years old, married, have two children, and household income (take-home pay) of$3,500 per month. Your credit and consumer debt is as follows:_______.
• Car loan, 6% interest rate, $10,000 balance, $295 per month
• Department store card, 28% interest rate, $600 balance, minimum payment 5% of balance
• Discover Card, 12% interest rate, $2,000 balance, minimum payment 2% of balance
• VISA Card, 13% interest rate, $3,000 balance, minimum payment 2% of balance

• MasterCard 2, 14% interest rate, $0 balance, minimum payment 2% of balance
• Gasoline card, 21% interest rate, $300 balance, minimum payment 5% of balance
Assume all credit cards will assess a $35 late fee and ongoing penalty interest of 8% above the currentrate if you miss a payment. Your recent VISA card statement came with a blank cash advance check(for up to $10,000) with terms of 23.99% APR and a fee of 3% if you use it. Your recent MasterCard 2statement came with a balance transfer oFer (up to $4,000) with no fee and 0% APR for 12 months,after which the normal interest rate applies. You recently found an incorrect amount charged on yourVISA card from a store you frequent often. You’d like to come up with a plan to eliminate all of yourcredit card debt.

Answer:

1) In general, is it a good idea to make only minimum payments on your credit cards?

No, the small payment requirement is mathematically guaranteed to keep you in debt for many years.

All you have to do is analyze the interest rates charged by the credit card companies and it is really difficult for any investment to match those interest rates.

2) Assuming you have $1,500 in your budget this month with which to pay down your credit cards, how much should you pay on each card?

I would start with the cards that charge the highest interest rates. I would pay the full balance of the department store card and the gasoline card = $600 + $300 = $900

Since I have $600 left, I would then pay the minimum payments for the cards that charge the least interest rates. I would pay $40 to Discover card and $60 to VISA.

The remaining $500 would be used to pay MasterCard 1 card and lower its balance.

A company has total equity of $2,160, net working capital of $240, long-term debt of $1,070, and current liabilities of $4,500. What is the company's net fixed assets?

Answers

Answer:

$2,990

Explanation:

A company's fixed asset consist of its plants and machineries, motor vehicles , buildings etc.

To get the company's net fixed asset, we would subtract the networking capital from total equity and add up long term debt.

Therefore,

Net fixed asset = $2,160 total equity - $240 working capital + $1,070 long term debt

= $2,990

Hence net fixed asset is $2,990

In both the United States and France, the demand for haircuts is given by QD=300−10P . However, in the United States, the supply is given by QS=−300+20P , while in France, the supply is given by QS=−33.33+6.67P .

Required:
a. What are the equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries?
b. What are the new equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries?

Answers

Answer:

a. P = 20 and Q = 100 in the United States; and also P = 20 and Q = 100 in France.

b. P = 23.33 and Q = 166.70 in the United States; and P = 26 and Q = 140 in France.

Explanation:

Note: The part b of the requirement is not complete. The entire question is therefore represented with the complete pat b before answering the question as follows:

In both the United States and France, the demand for haircuts is given by QD=300−10P . However, in the United States, the supply is given by QS=−300+20P , while in France, the supply is given by QS=−33.33+6.67P .

Required:

a. What are the equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries?

b. Suppose that the demand for haircuts in both countries increases by 100 units at each price, so that the new demand is QD = 400 - 10P. What are the new equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries?

The explanation to the answers is now provided as follows:

a. What are the equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries?

In economics, an equilibrium occurs at point where the quantities demanded is equal to the quantities supplied.

Let Q denotes equilibrium quantity and P denotes equilibrium price, the equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries can therefore be calculated as follows:

In the United States

QD =300 − 10P

QS= −300 + 20P

Since at equilibrium, QD = QS, we can therefore solve for P by equating the two equations above as follows:

300 - 10P = −300 + 20P

300 + 300 = 20P + 10P

600 = 30P

P = 600 / 30

P = 20

To obtain equilibrium quantity, we substitute P = 20 into any QD and QS since at equilibrium QD = QS. Using QD, we have:

Q = 300 – 10(20)

Q = 300 – 200

Q = 100

Therefore, P = 20 and Q = 100 in the United States.

In France

QD = 300 − 10P

QS= −33.33 + 6.67P

Since at equilibrium, QD = QS, we can therefore solve for P by equating the two equations above as follows:

300 - 10P = −33.33 + 6.67P

300 + 33.33 = 6.67P + 10P

333.33 = 16.67P

P = 333.33 / 16.67

P = 20

To obtain equilibrium quantity, we substitute P = 20 into any QD and QS since at equilibrium QD = QS. Using QD, we have:

Q = 300 – 10(20)

Q = 300 – 200

Q = 100

Therefore, P = 20 and Q = 100 also in France.

b. Suppose that the demand for haircuts in both countries increases by 100 units at each price, so that the new demand is QD = 400 - 10P. What are the new equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries?

In the United States

QD = 400 − 10P

QS= −300 + 20P

Since at equilibrium, QD = QS, we can therefore solve for P by equating the two equations above as follows:

400 - 10P = −300 + 20P

400 + 300 = 20P + 10P

700 = 30P

P = 700 / 30

P = 23.33

To obtain equilibrium quantity, we substitute P = 20 into any QD and QS since at equilibrium QD = QS. Using QD, we have:

Q = 400 – 10(23.33)

Q = 400 – 233.30

Q = 166.70

Therefore, P = 23.33 and Q = 166.70 in the United States.

In France

QD = 400 − 10P

QS= −33.33 + 6.67P

Since at equilibrium, QD = QS, we can therefore solve for P by equating the two equations above as follows:

400 - 10P = −33.33 + 6.67P

400 + 33.33 = 6.67P + 10P

433.33 = 16.67P

P = 433.33 / 16.67

P = 25.99 = 26

To obtain equilibrium quantity, we substitute P = 20 into any QD and QS since at equilibrium QD = QS. Using QD, we have:

Q = 400 – 10(26)

Q = 400 – 260

Q = 140

Therefore, P = 26 and Q = 140 in France.

Demarco and Janine Jackson have been married for 20 years and have four children who qualify as their dependents (Damarcus, Janine, Michael, and Candice). The couple received salary income of $100,000 and qualified business income of $10,000 from an investment in a partnership, and they sold their home this year. They initially purchased the home three years ago for $200,000 and they sold it for $250,000. The gain on the sale qualified for the exclusion from the sale of a principal residence. The Jacksons incurred $16,500 of itemized deductions, and they had $3,550 withheld from their paychecks for federal taxes. They are also allowed to claim a child tax credit for each of their children. However, because Candice is 18 years of age, the Jacksons may only claim the child tax credit for other qualifying dependents for Candice. (Use the tax rate schedules.)
Comprehensive Problem 4-55 Parts-c through f
a. What would their taxable income be if their itemized deductions totaled $28,000 instead of $16,500?
b. What would their taxable income be if they had $0 itemized deductions and $6,000 of for AGI deductions?
c. Assume the original facts but now suppose the Jacksons also incurred a loss of $5,000 on the sale of some of their investment assets. What effect does the $5,000 loss have on their taxable income?

Answers

Answer:

a. Taxable income = $80,000

b. Taxable income = $77,600

c. Taxable income = $80,600

Explanation:

Taxable income refers to the amount of income that is used to determine the amount of tax that will be paid to the government by an individual or firm in given year. The taxable income is arrived at after all the relevant addition and allowable deductions have been made.

The requirements are therefore answered as follows:

a. What would their taxable income be if their itemized deductions totaled $28,000 instead of $16,500?

Note: See part a of the attached excel file see the effect on taxable income.

The itemized deductions total of $28,000 instead of $16,500 makes the taxable income to be $80,000.

In the attached excel file, the following calculations is used:

Qualified business income deduction = Qualified business income * Parentage of deduction allowed = $10,000 * 20% = $2,000

b. What would their taxable income be if they had $0 itemized deductions and $6,000 of for AGI deductions?

Note: See part b of the attached excel file for the calculations of the taxable income.

This makes the taxable income to be equal to $77,600.

c. Assume the original facts but now suppose the Jacksons also incurred a loss of $5,000 on the sale of some of their investment assets. What effect does the $5,000 loss have on their taxable income?

Note: See part c of the attached excel file for the calculations of the taxable income.

The loss of loss of $5,000 on the sale of some of their investment assets incurred by the Jacksons is capital loss.

For tax purposes, capital loss of can be deducted as a loss on tax return by tax payers with a maximum of $3,000 to be deducted per year.

Therefore, the Jacksons will deduct $3,000 as a capital loss from their tax return, and the effect of this is to reduce the taxable income by $3,000.

This makes the taxable income to be equal to $80,600.

A deposit of $10,000 is made a year from now, a second deposit of $10,000 is made at the end of the year 5, and a deposit of $3000 is made at the end of year 8. The account earns 6% interest. You want to withdraw an equal amount, X at the end of each year for the next 10 years. What is the amount of X if the goal is to empty the account

Answers

Answer:

$4068.77

Explanation:

We calculate the Future value of all the three deposits at the end of year 8

FV = CF1 *(1+r)^8-1 + CF5*(1+r)^8-5 + CF8 * (1+r)^8-8

FV = 10000 *(1+0.06)^7 + 10000*(1+0.06)^3 + 3000 * (1+0.06)^0

FV = 15,036.30 + 11,910.16 + 3,000

FV= $29,946.46

We have to calculate the annuity payments that have a Present value = $29,946.46

PV = PMT * 1-(1+r)^-n / r

PV = 29,946.46, PMT= ?, r = 6%, n = 10

29,946.46 = PMT * 1-(1+0.06)^-10 / 0.06

29,946.46 = PMT * 1 - 1.06^-10 / 0.06

29,946.46 = PMT * 1 - 0.558395 / 0.06

29,946.46 = PMT * 0.441605 / 0.06

29,946.46 = PMT * 7.36008

PMT = 29,946.46/7.36008

PMT = 4068.768274257889

PMT = $4068.77

Thus, amount of X is $4068.77 if the goal is to empty the account.

To protect consumers from unfair credit practices, credit laws were established

Answers

Answer:

true

Explanation:

"It started with the Consumer Credit Protection Act of 1968, when Congress moved to shield consumers and their financial records from abuse. In the years following, other laws refined consumer rights, spelling out how the government can access bank customers’ information, how banks treat borrowers and the way banks handle customer deposits.

It all came to a head after the Great Recession in 2008, and out of that, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was formed, a new government agency dedicated to protecting consumers.

Today, there are countless laws, acts and regulations designed to protect consumers. The sheer number of laws can be overwhelming, but it is important that consumers understand their basic rights, so they can identify when those rights have been violated."
