Answer:
b contractionary monetary policy will be effective.
Explanation:
Inflation occurs when excess money is used to buy goods, that is price of basket of goods rises. It results from a decline in the value of money.
Central banks are tasked with control of a country's economy and rising inflation needs to be reduced.
To do so the Central Bank uses contractionary monetary policies aimed at reducing money in circulation.
The rationale is that the more scarce money is the more the demand for it, and in turn the more value it will have.
Contractionary monetary policies includes increase in interest rate to make lending more expensive, and selling of government bonds to the public in order to mop up excess cash

You own a portfolio that has $1,600 invested in Stock A and $2,700 invested in Stock B. Assume the expected returns on these stocks are 11 percent and 17 percent, respectively. What is the expected return on the portfolio
Answer:
the expected return on the portfolio is 14.77%
Explanation:
The computation of the expected return on the portfolio is shown below:
The expected return is
= ($1,600 ÷ $4,300) × 11% + ($2,700 ÷ $4,300) × 17%
= 14.767 %
= 14.77%
The $4,300 comes from
= $1,600 + $2,700
= $4,300
hence, the expected return on the portfolio is 14.77%
The same is considered

A plant manager wants to know how much she should be willing to pay for perfect market research. Currently there are two states of nature facing her decision to expand or do nothing. Under favorable market conditions the manager would make $100,000 for the large plant and $5,000 for the small plant. Under unfavorable market conditions the large plant would lose $80,000 and the small plant would make $0. If the two states of nature are equally likely, how much should she pay for perfect information
Answer:
She should pay $25,000 for perfect information.
Explanation:
Since it is assumed that the two states of nature are equally likely, we therefore have:
P1 = Probability favorable market condition = 50%, or 0.5
P2 = Probability of unfavorable market condition = 50%, or 0.5
For large plant, we have:
Amount to make under favorable market condition = $100,000
Amount to make unfavorable market condition = -$50,000
Therefore, we have:
Expected value of the amount to make from large plant = (P1 * $100,000) + (P2 * (-$50,000)) = (0.5 * $100,000) + (0.5 * (-$50,000)) = $25,000
For small plant, we have:
Amount to make under favorable market condition = $5,000
Amount to make unfavorable market condition = $0
Therefore, we have:
Expected value of the amount to make from small plant = (P1 * $5,000) + (P2 * $0) = (0.5 * $5,000) + (0.5 * $0) = $2,500
Decision
Expected value of the amount to make from large plant = $25,000
Expected value of the amount to make from small plant = $2,500
Since the expected value of the amount to make from large plant of $25,000 is larger than the expected value of the amount to make from small plant of $2,500, this implies that the maximum the plant manager can make is $25,000.
Therefore, she should pay $25,000 for perfect information.

TB MC Qu. 10-63 (Static) ABC Corporation makes a product that uses a ... ABC Corporation makes a product that uses a material with the following direct material standards: Standard quantity 3.8 pounds per unit Standard price $4.00 per pound The company produced 7,300 units in November using 28,710 pounds of the material. During the month, the company purchased 30,800 pounds of the direct material at a total cost of $117,040. The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased. The materials quantity variance for November is:
Answer:
the materials quantity variance for November is $3,880 unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of the materials quantity variance for November is shown below:
As we know that
Material Quantity variance is
= Standard Price × (Actual Quantity used - Standard Quantity)
= $4 × (28,710 - (7,300 units × $3.8 per pound))
= $4 × (28,710 - 27,740)
= $3,880 unfavorable
hence, the materials quantity variance for November is $3,880 unfavorable

It should be noted that according to IRS, 50% of the expenses on business meals will be deducted by tax payers when some conditions are met such as:
• Expenses incurred shouldn't be costly or extravagant.
• Expenses are necessary.
• Expenses on meal were incurred separately from expenses on entertainment.
• The taxpayer was present there when the expenses were incurred.
Based on the above,
a. The amount that Stork can deduct will be:
= 50% × $2200
= 0.5 × $2200
= $1100
b. If there was no bona fide business discussion either preceding or after the event, the deduction will be $0 because in such case, no expenses were incurred on food or entertainment.

On December 1, 2021, Coronado Industries exchanged 48000 shares of its $10 par value common stock held in treasury for a used machine. The treasury shares were acquired by Coronado at a cost of $45 per share, and are accounted for under the cost method. On the date of the exchange, the common stock had a fair value of $60 per share (the shares were originally issued at $35 per share). As a result of this exchange, Coronado's total stockholders' equity will increase by
Answer:
$2,880,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what Coronado's total stockholders' equity will increase by
Increase in total stockholders' equity =[(48000*45)-(48000 * (60-45))]
Increase in total stockholders' equity =$2,160,000+$720,000
Increase in total stockholders' equity =$2,880,000
Therefore the total stockholders' equity will increase by $2,880,000
Management of Mittel Company would like to reduce the amount of time between when a customer places an order and when the order is shipped. For the first quarter of operations during the current year the following data were reported:
Inspection time 0.2 days
Wait time (from order to start of production) 17.0 days
Process time 3.1 days
Move time 0.9 days
Queue time 4.2 days
Required:
a. Compute the throughput time. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
b. Compute the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for the quarter.
c. What percentage of the throughput time was spent in non–value-added activities?
d. Compute the delivery cycle time.
e. If by using Lean Production all queue time during production is eliminated, what will be the new MCE?
Answer:1.
a)Through put time =8.4days
b)The manufacturing cycle efficiency =36.9%
c)percentage of the through put time spent on non–value-added activities =63.1%
d)Delivery time =25.4days
e) The New manufacturing cycle efficiency =73.8%
Explanation:
1. The through put time is given as
Process time + Inspection time + Move time+Queue time
Through put time=3.1 + 0.2 + 0.9 + 4.2
Through put time=8.4days
2. The manufacturing cycle efficiency
,is given as
Process ÷Through put time
manufacturing cycle efficiency
, =3.1/8.4=0.369=36.9%
3. The manufacturing cycle efficiency
, is 36.9%
Thus percentage of the throughput time spent in non–value-added activities is given as
1 - 36.9% = 63.1%
4.The delivery cycle time is calculated as
Wait time + through put time
Delivery cycle =17.0 + 8.4 = 25.4 days
5. The New manufacturing cycle efficiency is calculated as
Process ÷through put time
But the new through put time =8.4 -4.2=4.2
New manufacturing cycle efficiency =3.1 / 4.2 = 0.7380
=73.8%

Sunland Company reports the following operating results for the month of August: sales $300,000 (units 5,000); variable costs $223,000; and fixed costs $70,800. Management is considering the following independent courses of action to increase net income. Compute the net income to be earned under each alternative. 1. Increase selling price by 10% with no change in total variable costs or sales volume. Net income $enter a net income if the selling price is increased by 10% 2. Reduce variable costs to 56% of sales. Net income $enter a net income if the variable costs are reduced to 56% of sales 3. Reduce fixed costs by $18,000. Net income $enter a net income if the fixed costs are reduced by $18,000
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given selling price per unit = $300,000/5,000 units = $60
1. Increase selling price by 10% with no change in total variable costs or sales volume
Selling price = $60 × 1.1 = $66
Sales revenue = $66 × 5,000 units = $330,000
Increase in sales revenue = $330,000 - $300,000 = $30,000
Here, as costs remains the same, Net income will increase as much as the increase as sales revenue which is $30,000
2. Reduce variable cost to 56% of sales
New variable cost = $330,000 × 56% = $184,800
Saving in variable cost = $223,000 - $184,800 = $38,200
Here, as the fixed cost and sales revenue remains the same, net income will increase as much as the saving in variable cost which is $38,200
3. Reduce fixed cost by $18,000
As the variable cost and sales revenue remains the same, net income will increase as much as the savings in fixed cost which is $18,000

Explanation:
The market demand curve in perfect competition is found by A. the interaction of supply and demand at the individual firm and consumer levels. B. horizontally summing the demand curves of the individual consumers. C. utility maximizing behavior of the "representative consumer." D. horizontally summing the supply curves of the individual firms in the industry.
Answer:
b
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
the demand curve is a graph of the quantity demanded on the vertical axis and the price on the horizontal axis. it is downward sloping
market demand curve is the aggregation of demand curves
Because goods are identical, market demand curve can be determined by horizontally summing the demand curves of the individual consumers
