An operation that closes due to an imminent health hazard can reopen only after getting approval from what agency?
Answer:
the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration)
Explanation:
The Food and Drug Administration is a federal agency, which is allowed under US law to prevent an operation from going on if it determines that an imminent health hazard still exists.
However, according to the FDA food code, "if immediate corrective action is taken, there is no "Imminent Health Hazard," meaning the operation can get approval from the agency to reopen.
Imminent Health Hazard means threat to life due to some product, procedure, events which need to stopped immediately. After FDA approval, operation can be restarted.
What do you mean by Imminent Health Hazard?FDA Food Code describes Imminent Health Hazard as the product, procedure, events that can posses threat or danger to life and requires immediate actions or suspension of action to prevent the loss.
The FDA(U.S. Food and Drug Administration) is the agency which looks after the Imminent Health Hazard. So when operations are ceased due to health hazard and after taking corrective measures and when no hazards are left, operations can be reopened after prior approval of FDA.
Therefore, it can be said that after FDA approval, operations can be started.

A parent transfers inventory with a cost of $25,000 to its subsidiary at a transfer price of $40,000. The subsidiary resold 50% of this transferred inventory to outsiders before year-end. For the current year consolidated financial statement, how much gross profit should be deferred by Consolidation Entry G
Answer: $7,500
Explanation:
The profit made from the transfer is;
= 40,000 - 25,000
= $15,000
The subsidiary however only managed to resell 50% of this. The Consolidated entry therefore will show that 50% of the inventory remains so profit will have to be deferred till it is sold. The amount deferred is;
= 15,000 * 50%
= $7,500

Which item from this financial statement appears on the next financial statement?
Net Income
Explanation:
For instance, Company XYZ reports the Net Income (net profit) from the Income Statement to the Statement of Retained Earnings. This second financial statement shows the distribution of profits to Company XYZ's stockholders. From this second statement, the company takes an item known as the Retained Earnings to the next statement called the Balance Sheet (a snapshot of financial position). The last statement usually prepared as part of financial reporting is the Statement of Cash Flows, which classifies the financial (cash) activities of the business into three: Operating, Investing, and Financing activities. The Statement of Cash Flows shows the cash inflows and outflows during a period.
Determine whether each statement describes the income effect, the substitution effect, or neither. Assume that all other variables are held constant. The price of lobster doubles, making Henri feel less wealthy. As a result, Henri buys fewer lobsters. The price of chicken falls by $0.75 a pound. Since chicken is now relatively less expensive than ground beef, Mary buys more chicken and less beef. The average price of a DVD falls by 15 percent. Tom buys more DVDs because his monthly movie budget can now stretch further. Model Planes Incorporated reduces production of its wooden plane product line. Jessica sees that the price of orange juice is higher this week. She decides to buy less orange juice and more apple juice because orange juice is relatively more expensive.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Income effect is when the demand for a particular good or service changes because the real income of the person has changed.
Substitution effect arises when there is a reduction in the sales for a good or service due to a price rise and therefore the consumers have switched to a cheaper alternative. For example, if the price of beef rises, the consumers may shift and purchase more of chicken.
Based on the above scenario, the following will then be:
• The price of lobster doubles, making Henri feel less wealthy. As a result, Henri buys fewer lobsters.
Income effect
Henry's real income has changed, he has more money and hence reduces the purchase for lobsters because he sees it as inferior good.
• The price of chicken falls by $0.75 a pound. Since chicken is now relatively less expensive than ground beef, Mary buys more chicken and less beef.
Substitution effect
Mary has moved to a cheaper alternative in this situation.
• The average price of a DVD falls by 15 percent. Tom buys more DVDs because his monthly movie budget can now stretch further.
Income effect
• Model Planes Incorporated reduces production of its wooden plane product line.
No effect
No effect here as it's neither income effect not substitution effect.
• Jessica sees that the price of orange juice is higher this week. She decides to buy less orange juice and more apple juice because orange juice is relatively more expensive.
Substitution effect
The reduction in the quantity demanded of lobsters describes the income effect.
Mary substituting chicken for ground beef is an example of the substitution effect.
The increase in the quantity demanded of DVDs describes the income effect.
Reduction in the production of wooden plane does not describe the income or substitution effect.
The increase in the demand for orange juice is an example of the substitution effect.
The substitution effect when a change in the price of a good leads consumers to substitute the demand for the good with other goods. If the price of the good increases, consumers buy cheaper substitutes. If the price of the good declines, consumers reduce the consumption of the substitute and increase the demand for that good.
The income effect is when an increase in price lowers consumer's purchasing power, holding money income constant. This would lead to a fall in the quantity demanded of the good. When price decreases, purchasing power increases and consumers demand more of the good.

Rivera Company has several processing departments. Costs charged to the Assembly Department for November 2020 totaled $2,288,076 as follows. Work in process,November 1Materials $79,000Conversion costs 48,200$127,200Materials added 1,594,520Labor 225,800Overhead 340,556Production records show that 34,600 units were in beginning work in process 30% complete as to conversion costs, 662,700 units were started into production, and 24,100 units were in ending work in process 40% complete as to conversion costs. Materials are entered at the beginning of each process.
Answer:
Using the FIFO cost method:
beginning WIP 34,600 units
materials $79,000 (100% complete)
conversion $48,200 (30% complete, 70% remaining = 24,220 EU)
units started 662,700
materials added $1,594,520
conversion costs added $566,356
ending WIP 24,100
100% complete for materials
40% complete for conversion = 9,640 EU
units completed and transferred out = 34,600 + 662,700 - 24,100 = 673,200
units started and completed = 662,700 - 34,600 - 24,100 = 604,000
total equivalent units for the month:
materials 662,700
conversion = 24,220 + 604,000 + 9,640 = 637,860
total cost per EU:
materials = $1,594,520 / 662,700 = $2.4061
conversion = $566,356 / 637,860 = $0.8879
total = $3.294
cost of ending WIP:
materials = 24,100 x $2.4061 = $57,987
conversion = 9,640 x $0.8879 = $8,559.36 ≈ $8,559
total = $66,546
cost of units transferred out = $79,000 + $48,200 + $1,594,520 + $566,356 - $66,546 = $2,221,530
total units transferred out = 673,200
production cost per unit = $2,221,530 / 673,200 = $3.30
Which idea forms the basis of double-entry accounting?
A. For every single transaction, at least two accounts will be
affected.
B. For every single transaction, only assets will be impacted.
C. The assets of a business equal the stockholders' equity.
O D. The stockholders' equity in a business must equal the liabilities.
Answer:
A. For every single transaction, at least two accounts will be
affected.
Explanation:
Double-entry accounting is a record-keeping method where a transaction is recorded in a minimum of two accounts. There is no upper ceiling on the actual number of accounts that may be used in a transaction.
Every account has two columns, with debits on the left and credit entries on the right. The aggregate of the debit entries must equal the result of all credit entries. If this happens, the transaction has balanced. If not, the transaction is "out of balance."
For each of the following actions, identify whether the method of risk assessment motivating the action is due to the value at risk or the standard deviation of an underlying probability distribution.A. You buy life insurance (Standard Deviation / Value At risk)B. You hire an investment advisor who specializes in international diversification in stock portfolios. ((Standard Deviation / Value At risk)C. In your role as a central banker, you provide emergency loans to illiquid intermediaries. ((Standard Deviation / Value At risk)D. You open a kiosk at the mall selling ice cream and hot chocolate. (Standard Deviation / Value At risk)
Answer:
Value at Risk is used to measure just how much is expected to be lost resulting from an investment over a period of time.
Standard Deviation is used to measure the risk of volatility in the returns of investments. It can measure idiosyncratic risk which is the risk inherent in an investment.
A. You buy life insurance. Value At risk.
Insurance has to do with Value at Risk to measure how much would have to be paid out.
B. You hire an investment advisor who specializes in international diversification in stock portfolios. Standard Deviation.
Diversification is based on the risk of stock volatility and is done to reduce idiosyncratic risk so this has to do with Standard deviation.
C. In your role as a central banker, you provide emergency loans to illiquid intermediaries. Value At Risk.
These illiquid intermediaries might be unable to pay back so the assessment needs to find out how much could potentially be lost.
D. You open a kiosk at the mall selling ice cream and hot chocolate. Standard Deviation.
These products will be sold in alternating seasons to ensure profitability is maintained. The idiosyncratic risk of selling only one of these was therefore targeted making this an example of Standard Deviation based risk assessment.
Agreement and disagreement among economists Suppose that Yakov, an economist from a research institute in Texas, and Ana, an economist from a school of industrial relations, are arguing over health insurance. The following dialogue shows an excerpt from their debate:
Ana: A popular topic for debate among politicians as well as economists is the idea of providing government assistance for health benefits.
Yakov: I think it is oppressive for the government to tax people who take care of themselves in order to pay for health insurance for those who are obese.
Ana: I disagree. I think government funding of health insurance is useful to ensure basic fairness. The disagreement between these economists is most likely due todifferences in values.
Despite their differences, with which proposition are two economists chosen at random most likely to agree?
A. Immigrants receive more in government benefits than they contribute in taxes.
B. Having a single income tax rate would improve economic performance.
C. Rent ceilings reduce the quantity and quality of available housing.
Answer: C. Rent ceilings reduce the quantity and quality of available housing.
Explanation:
Economists for all their differences will most likely agree that Rent Ceilings reduce the quality and quantity of available housing.
This is because it lowers the incentive for landlords to improve their housing if they know that they cannot charge enough to benefit from this improvement.
Landlords will also build lower quality housing or not go into housing construction at all because the rent ceiling might mean that they are not making enough return to pay for the construction of the house.
Hilary sells bottled water from a small stand by the beach. On the last day of summer vacation, many people are on the beach, and Hilary realizes that she can make a lot more money this day if she hires someone to walk up and down the beach selling water. She finds a college student named Edison and makes him the following offer: They'll each sell water all day and split their earnings (revenue minus the cost of water) equally at the end of the day. Hilary knows that if they both work hard, Edison will earn $90 on the beach and Hilary will earn $240 at her stand, so they will each take home half of their total revenue: If Edison shirks, he'll generate only $60 in earnings. Hilary does not know that Edison estimates his personal cost (or disutility) of working hard as opposed to shirking at $30. Once out of Hilary's sight, Edison faces a dilemma: work hard (put in full effort) or shirk (put in low effort).In terms of Edison's total utility, it is worse for him to ____(work hard or shirk). Taking into account the loss in utility that working hard brings to Edison, Hilary and Edison together ___ (are or are not) better off if Edison shirks instead of working hard.Hilary knows Edison will shirk if unsupervised. She considers hiring her good friend Carrie to keep an eye on Edison. The most Hilary should be willing to pay Carrie to supervise Edison, assuming supervision is sufficient to encourage Edison to work hard, is ____ .
a. 55.
b. 30.
c. 25.
d. 20.It turns out that Hilary's friend Carrue is unavilable that day, so Hilary cannot find a reliable person to watch Edison. Which of the following arrangements will ensure that Edison works hard without making Hilary any worse off than she is when Edison shirks?A. Pay Edison $20, regardless of how many bottles of water he sells.B. Allow Edison to keep 75% of the revenue from the bottles of water he sells instead of 50%.C. Allow Edison to keep 57% of the revenue from the bottles of water he sells instead of 50%.D. Make Edison promise to work hard.
Answer:
A)In terms of Edison's total utility, it is worse for him to shirk. Taking into account the loss in utility that working hard brings to Edison, Hilary and Edison together are better off if Edison shirks instead of working hard.
B) $20
C) Allow Edison to keep 57% of the revenue from the bottles of water he sells instead of 50% (c)
Explanation:
If Edison works hard he will earn = $90
If Harry work hard he will earn = $240
They will both take home : (90 + 240) / 2 = 330 /2 = $165 each
If Edison shirks he will earn = $60
therefore the total revenue = 60 + 240 = 300
They will both take home : 300 / 2 = $150 each
A)In terms of Edison's total utility, it is worse for him to shirk. Taking into account the loss in utility that working hard brings to Edison, Hilary and Edison together are not better off if Edison shirks instead of working hard.
B) The most Hilary should be willing to pay Carrie
should be : Amount earned without shirking - Amount earned with shirking
= $165 - $150 = $15 the closest answer in the option is $20
C) . Allow Edison to keep 57% of the revenue from the bottles of water he sells instead of 50%

Indicate which activities of Stockton Corporation violated the rights of a stockholder who owned one share of common stock.
a. Paid the stockholder a smaller dividend per share than another common stockholder.
b. Did not allow the stockholder to make decisions regarding hiring and firing employees.
c. Rejected the stockholder's request to vote via proxy because she was home sick.
d. The company did not provide all stockholders with timely financial reports.
e. In liquidation, paid the common shareholder after preferred stockholders were already paid.
Answer:
a. Paid the stockholder a smaller dividend per share than another common stockholder.
c. Rejected the stockholder's request to vote via proxy because she was home sick.
d. The company did not provide all stockholders with timely financial reports.
Explanation:
A shareholder is a person that has contributed to the equity of a company and holds shares as evidence of ownership.
Shareholders have right to recieve equal dividend as other common shareholders. There can only be a difference in dividend payouts when the other person has more shares.
They also have the right to vote via proxy in cases where they are not available. The proxy is duly appointed by the shareholder.
The company is also mandated to provide timely financial reports to all stockholders.
Shareholders however are not involved in daily running of the business. So they have no say in hiring and firing of employees.
Also common shareholders are paid dividend after preference share holders have been settled by the company.
The first budget customarily prepared as part of an entity's master budget is the _____ budget. a.cash b.production c.sales d.direct materials purchases

We assume that in a village there are farmers, carpenters, and tailors, who provide the three essential goods: food, housing, and clothing. Suppose the farmers consume 2/5 of the food (produced by farmers), 1/3 of the housing (produced by carpenters) and 1/2 of the clothes (produced by tailors). The carpenter consumes 2/5 of the food, 1/3 of the housing, and 1/2 of the clothes. The tailors consume 1/5 of the food, 1/3 of the housing, and no clothes. Assume this is a closed Leontief model.
If we know that the tailors produce 560 units of clothes, then the farmers produce ___________units of food, and the carpenters produce_________ units of housing.
Answer:
The farmers produce 746 units.
The carpenters produce 746 units.
Explanation:
Leontief model is a model of economics for whole country. It helps to understand the effects of increased production on the economy. In the given scenario the farmers, carpenters and tailor maintain a ratio in which they produce goods. The equilibrium condition will be Ap = p. The ratio of farmer, carpenter and tailor will be 4:4:3 to achieve the equilibrium. If the tailor produces 560 units then farmer will produce 560 * 4 /3 and carpenter will produce 560 *4/3.
You are considering a project which will provide annual cash inflows of $4,921, $5,700, and $8,000 at the end of each year for the next three years, respectively. What is the present value of these cash flows, given a 9 percent discount rate?
Answer:
Total PV= $15,489.73
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flows:
1= $4,921
2= $5,700
3= $8,000
Interest rate= 9%
To calculate the present value, we need to use the following formula on each cash flow:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV1= = 4,921/1.09= 4,514.68
PV2= 5,700/1.09^2= 4,797.58
PV3= 8,000/1.09^3= 6,177.47
Total PV= $15,489.73
