Eduardo has been reading about the use of drone technology in recent military conflicts and is not quite sure what to think. On the one hand, the use of drones means that military missions can be executed without putting American lives at risk. On the other hand, this very fact means that our political leaders might be quicker to resort to military solutions when other solutions might be available. Eduardo is also concerned about other effects of fully mechanized battle operations. For instance, unlike a human soldier, a drone can neither hear nor sympathize with a mother pleading for the life of her innocent child. Eduardo has decided to research the topic of military drones in more detail and write an essay in which he decides whether the use of drone technology is a positive or negative development in the history of American military action. Which type of argument will Eduardo be making?

a. Argument of fact
b. Argument of definition
c. Argument of evaluation
d. Policy argument

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

c. Argument of evaluation

Explanation:

Eduardo will be making a decision on "whether the use of drone technology is a positive or negative development in the history of American military action."  This is a judgement call.  And he will be determining whether or not drone usage is good or bad.  So this is purely an argument of evaluation.  The argument is not of fact or definition or a policy argument, but one in which he will establish his opinion on the issue of the use of drone technology in the military.

Answer:

Growing the country's economy Aiding in the creation of capital formation Managing and mitigating the risks

Explanation:

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.

• What are the advantages and disadvantages of owning versus outsourcing for each of these components (staff, computer servers, software licensing, and data storage)?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation below

Explanation:

Outsourcing simply involves the act of contracting our certain business activities and processes to third-party providers.  

Staff

When you outsource your staff, you can be able to save cots and use the freed capital for other things but the disadvantage would certainly be around the issue of confidentiality of business information.  

When you outsource computer servers, software licensing, and data storage, you would gain access to world-class capabilities because the third-party providers would likely provide them to meet their customers.  

There would also be shared risks as part of the benefits. The disadvantages could include loss of control. People who discourage outsourcing of these functions are of the opinion that third-party vendor cannot be able to match the level of responsiveness and levels of services that could be offered by an in-house team

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

Answers

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.

Bird Corp.'s trademark was licensed to Brian Co. for royalties of 15% of the sales of the trademarked items. 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.

Answers

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

Equipment    746,168 debit

    Lease Liability    723,668 credit

    Cash                     22,500 credit

April 1st, 2021 entry:

Interest expense    7,537 debit

Lease Liability       15,263 debit

         Cash              22,800 credit

Explanation:

We will assume a 750,000 sales revenue per quarter. As this was their historical and expected value:

750,000 x 3% = 22,500 per quarter

Now, we solve for the present value of the lease payment:

[tex]C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate}(1+r) = PV\\[/tex]

C 22,500

time 40 (10 years x 4 quarter per year)

rate 0.01 (4% annual / 4 quarters)

[tex]22500 \times \frac{1-(1+0.01)^{-40} }{0.01}(1+0.01) = PV\\[/tex]

PV $746,168.2419

we subtract the first payment of 22,500

lease liability reocrded in the enrty: 723.668

As lease sales were 760,000

lease payment: 760,000 x 3% = 22,800

less expected of 22,500 = 300 additional interest expense

interest expense: 723,668 x 0.01 = 7,237 + 300 = 7,537

amortization on lease liability: 22,800 -7,537 = 15,263

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.

Answers

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

The Titanic Shipbuilding Company has a noncancelable contract to build a small cargo vessel. Construction involves a cash outlay of $273,000 at the end of each of the next two years. At the end of the third year the company will receive payment of $650,000. Assume the IRR of this option exceeds the cost of capital. The company can speed up construction by working an extra shift. In this case there will be a cash outlay of $595,000 at the end of the first year followed by a cash payment of $650,000 at the end of the second year. Use the IRR rule to show the (approximate) range of opportunity costs of capital at which the company should work the extra shift.

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.

Answers

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.

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

Answers

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%

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.

Answers

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

Managers must be able to determine whether their workers are doing an effective and efficient job, with a minimum of errors and disruptions. They do so by using a performance appraisal, an evaluation that measures employee performance against established standards in order to make decisions about promotions, compensation, training, or termination. Managing effectively means getting results through top performance. That's what performance appraisals at all levels of the organization are for—including at the top, where managers benefit from review by their subordinates. In the 360-degree review, management gathers opinions from all around the employee, including those under, above, and on the same level, to get an accurate, comprehensive idea of the worker's abilities.

a. True

a. True

Explanation:

This system of performance review is a 360-degree review or feedback process where a given employee receives inputs on her performance (or other criteria such as behaviors, competencies and results achieved) from different employees with varying working relationships and at different levels.  The idea is to ensure that the employee's performance is not partial or biased.  Using this system, the employee who may be a manager will have her performance reviewed by employees below, above, and on the same level with her.

The following model is a simplified version of the multiple regression model used by Biddle and Hamermesh (1990) to study the tradeoff between time spent sleeping and working and to look at other factors affecting sleep:

sleep = β0 + β1totwrk + β2educ + β3age + u,

where sleep and totwrk (total work) are measured in minutes per week and educ and age are measured in years. (See also Computer Exercise.)

(i) If adults trade off sleep for work, what is the sign of β1?

(ii) What signs do you think β2 and β3 will have?

(iii) Using the data in SLEEP75.RAW, the estimated equation is

= 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?

Answers

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

g you are eligible for a 30 year fixed rate home mortgage with 3.6% interest rate what is the maximum loan you can get

Answers

Answer:

the maximum loan is $379,417

Explanation:

The computation of the maximum loan is shown below:

As we know that

Maximum Loan = Present Value of all monthly Payments

=  $1,725 × PVAF(0.3%,360 months)

= $1,725 × [1- (1+0.003)^-360] ÷ 0.003

= $1,725 × 219.9517

=  $379,417

hence, the maximum loan is $379,417

Here the interest rate is divided by 12 and the months should be multiplied by 12 as this is the case of monthly basis

Consider a multifactor model with two factors. A well-diversified portfolio (Portfolio P) has a beta of 0.75 on factor 1 and a beta of 1.25 on factor 2. The risk premiums on the factor 1 and factor 2 are 1% and 7%, respectively. The risk-free rate of return is 7%. What is the expected return on portfolio P, according to a two-factor model

Answers

Answer: 16.5%

Explanation:

Expected Return on portfolio P will be calculated as:

= Rf + (Beta1 × F1) + (Beta2 × F2)

where,

Rf = Risk Free rate

F1 = risk premium on Factor1

F2 = risk premium on Factor2

Expected Return will now be:

= 7% + (0.75 × 1%) + (1.25 × 7%)

= 7% + 0.75% + 8.75%

= 16.5%

The expected return on portfolio P, according to a two-factor model will be 16.5%.

Answer:

16.5%

Explanation:

A multi-factor model can be used to explain either an individual security or a portfolio of securities. It does so by comparing two or more factors to analyze relationships between variables and the resulting performance.

DATA

Risk Free rate  = Rf = 7%

risk premium on Factor1  = F1 =  1%

Beta (Factor 1) = 1.25

risk premium on Factor2  = F2 = 7%

Beta (Factor 1) = 2

Expected Return = Rf + (Beta1 x F1) + (Beta2 * F2)

Expected Return = 7% + (0.75 x 1%) + (1.25 x 7%)

Expected Return = 0.07 + 0.0075 + 0.0875

Expected Return = 0.165 or  16.5%

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?

Answers

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

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?

Answers

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.

Answers

Answer:

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

Which section of a CAR Residential Purchase Agreement is a provision divided into three sections: mediation, arbitration of disputes, and additional terms?

Answers

Answer: Appraisal contingency and Removal.

Explanation:

The appraisal contingency, is a kind of CAR residential purchase agreement, which allows a buyer to back out of the deal if the house appraises for less than the already agreed-upon value. and the loan contingency, this term lets the buyer back out if he/she can't get their loan approved for the said purposes.

The section of a car residential purchase agreement that separates it into three sections would be:

Section 9C

The section titled 9C functions to separate the property purchase provisions into three varied divisions. These divisions include mediation followed by arbitration of disputes, and the external terms that fulfill the remaining ones.The other options are present in order to fulfill if either of them fails to resolve the dispute.

Thus, "section 9C" is the correct answer.

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:

Answers

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
