The correct answer is B) false.
GlobalTech is a leader in the design and development of mobile sensing technologies for the military market. With the military market stagnating, leadership has recognized but failed to capitalize on, exciting new growth opportunities in the commercial market.
It has been the opposite. GlobalTech has capitalized on the stagnancy of the military market to offer solutions to commercial applications that can be used by corporations, other government offices, and the citizens.
For instance, GlobalTech has open new markets in the medical industry, developing diagnosis applications that improve the chances to identify diseases on time.
GlobalTech is not alone in the business. It faces a fierce growing competition that is doing the same, that is why GlobalTech has to be a step ahead of the competition.

The Kreidler Kids company can produce swing sets for $1,000. Kendra wants a new swing set for her children and will pay $1,500 for it. Kendra finds the swing set she wants and pays $1,500 for it from the Kreidler Kids company. The Kreidler Kids company has
Answer:
The Kreidler Kids company has a producer surplus of $500.
Explanation:
Producer surplus can be described or calculated as the amount a producer is willing to supply or sell goods and the actual amount the supplier received.
For this question, the producer surplus can therefore be calculated as follows:
The amount Kreidler Kids company can produce swing sets = $1,000
The amount paid by Kendra for the the swing set = $1,500
Producer surplus = The amount paid by Kendra for the the swing set - The amount Kreidler Kids company can produce swing sets = $1,500 - $1,000 = $500
Therfore, the Kreidler Kids company has a producer surplus of $500.

a. (6 points) Why would you want to differentiate your product?
b. (8 points) How would you do it? How would your product differ? Please provide a specific product: a detailed explanation of your original product and how you would differentiate it. Please do not use the examples covered in class.
Question 2 (15 points)
Imagine that you own your business. It does not need to be the same as in other questions, you are allowed to pick a different firm or product. Imagine further that you or your consumers face an asymmetric information problem.
a. (5 points) Please explain in detail what this asymmetric information problem, and who is facing it (your firm or your consumers).
b. (10 points) Please explain how you solved this problem.
Question 3 (11 points)
Imagine that you own your business. It does not need to be the same as in other questions, you are allowed to pick a different firm or product.
a. (3 points) Think about your production process. Please explain the technology that you use in the production process.
b. (8 points) How do you think the technology that you use, affects the market structure and/or the demand of your product? Note that this question is NOT about how technology affects your production process, therefore, NOT about productivity, NOT about the cost structure.
Answer:
a. (6 points) Why would you want to differentiate your product?
Because differentiating your product is one of the two basic business strategies, the other one being reducing the price of the product. Differentiating your product allows you to gain competitiveness in a contested market.
b. (8 points) How would you do it? How would your product differ?
An product that can be differentiated is a yogurt. The market for yogurt is very competitive so differentiation is necessary. The yogurt could be flavored in less common ways: like saffron, kiwi or cucumber, and the technique could be adapted from Greek Yogurt to give a healthier style.
a. (5 points) Please explain in detail what this asymmetric information problem, and who is facing it (your firm or your consumers).
The problem of asymmetric information occurs when one party of the transaction has more information than the other party. In a typical business transaction, the managers of the firm have more information than consumers, so consumers would be facing the problem of asymmetric information.
b. (8 points) How do you think the technology that you use, affects the market structure and/or the demand of your product?
Technology can make the market structure more competitive or less, but it usually makes it more competitive. Technology also improves the productiviy and efficiency of the production process, which leads to costs reductions than pass through price. This in turn raises demands for the product.

In 2018 the NFL football team, the Carolina Panthers, have an owner accused of sexual harassment. The fans’ demand for team jerseys has dropped with the scandal this year. At about the same time the cost to manufacture the jerseys in China increased by 20%. Describe what the new equilibrium price and quantity is like compared with the prior year’s Panthers’ jersey market before the scandal and increased manufacturing costs?
Question Completion with Options:
1. The demand curve shifted to the right, the supply curve shifted to the left, the equilibrium price and quantity increased from 2017
2. Supply and demand curves have shifted to the left and the equilibrium quantity has decreased from 2017 but it is impossible to determine the effect on the equilibrium price.
3. The demand curve shifted to the left, the supply curve shifted to the right, the equilibrium price and quantity increased from 2017 Od.
4. Supply and demand curves have shifted to the left and the equilibrium price and quantity for Panthers' jersey market has decreased since 2017.
Answer:
This is how the new equilibrium price and quantity are like compared with the prior year’s Panthers’ jersey market before the scandal and increased manufacturing costs:
2. Supply and demand curves have shifted to the left and the equilibrium quantity has decreased from 2017 but it is impossible to determine the effect on the equilibrium price.
Explanation:
The scenario presents a decrease in supply of the jersey caused by the increase in the cost of production by 20%. This is why supply shifted to the left. Based on this factor, price is supposed to increase but this does not reflect on the data because the scandal also dampened demand. No wonder demand also shifted to the left, resulting in further decrease. These two leftward shifts caused the equilibrium quantity to decrease. However, we cannot establish whether the price decreased as well because it is supposed to increase due to the increased production cost in China.
The key to using the cost-benefit principle is to think about _____ aspects of a decision. Group of answer choices only nonfinancial neither financial nor nonfinancial only financial both financial and nonfinancial

both financial and nonfinancial
Explanation:
The cost benefit analysis means the approach where we analyze the strength and weakness of the alternatives available and determine the optimal solution that help in accomplish the benefits.
So in order to use the cost-benefit principle here both financial and non-financial should be used
Therefore the last option is correct
During the phase of the history of U.S. government regulation called industry deregulation, government sought to a. protect competitors by creating new federal agencies to police industry activities. b. prevent chain stores from competing unethically with smaller local operators. c. prevent concentration of industrial power in the hands of a few. d. increase competition in industries such as telecommunications, utilities, and transportation. e. police the Internet and online services.
Answer:
Option d (increase.....................transportation) seems to be the right option.
Explanation:
This same fourth phase throughout the past decades of U.S. regulatory requirements started throughout the late 1970s as well as focuses primarily on industrial protectionism. Throughout that stage of development, the current regime has focused on increasing competitive advantage throughout sectors such as construction, utility services, transshipment as well as wealth management by deactivating an amount of regulation but rather allowing companies to diversify their business processes to developing companies.The interpretation of that same question has been characterized throughout the explanation paragraph below.
A financial analyst tells you that investing in stocks will allow you to double your money in 7 years. What annual rate of return is the analyst assuming you can earn
Answer:
10.4%
Explanation:
there are two ways that you can calculate this:
using the rule of 70, the annual interest rate = 70 / 7 = 10%
or
we can calculate it
2 = 1 x (1 + i)⁷
⁷√2 = ⁷√(1 + i)
1.104 = 1 + i
i = 0.104
i = 10.4%
the second way is more exact, so we should choose it
The Federal Reserve buys $14.00 million in Treasury securities. If the required reserve ratio is 5.00%, and all currency is deposited into the banking system, and banks hold excess reserves of 10%, then the maximum amount the money supply can increase is $ ______ million. (Insert your answer in millions; if you think the answer is $30 million, just enter 30. Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:
$93.33
Explanation:
The computation of the increase the maximum account in supply is shown below:
As we know that
Money multiplier = 1 ÷ (excess reserve ratio + required reserve ratio)
= 1 ÷ (0.05 + 0.10)
= 6.67
Now increase in money supply is
= $14 million ×6.67
= $93.33
The maximum amount the money supply can increase is $93.33
First step is to find the multiplier
Reserve= (Excess reserve ratio + Required reserve ratio)
Reserve = (0.05 + 0.10)
Reserve=0.15
Second step
Increase in money supply = $14 million/0.15
Increase in money supply= $93.33
Inconclusion the maximum amount the money supply can increase is $93.33

Locate the website of any company that publishes a corporate social responisbility report (also referred to as a sustainability report). Describe three nonfinancial performance measures included in the report. Why do you think the company publishes this report
Answer:
Employee turnover
Customer complains
Repairs and warranty claims
Explanation:
Corporate social responsibility is an important part which is included in financial statements. The companies report their attitude towards the betterment of society and ensure that there is no harm to the society and environment by the business activities. Non financial measures are important as they are contributors to business success. Employees turnover should not be high as it indicates the customers that business is not motivating its employees and retaining skilled employee is difficult for the business.
Assume that Sonic Foundry Corporation has a contractual debt outstanding. Sonic has available two means of settlement. It can either make immediate payment of $2,600,000, or it can make annual payments of $300,000 for 15 years, each payment due on the last day of the year.
Which method of payment do you recommend, assuming an expected effective interest rate of 8% during the future period?
Answer:
Present value - Immediate payment = $2,600,000
Present value - installments = 2,567,843.61
Based on the comparison of present value for both options, Sonic Foundry Corporation should choose option 2 which is annual payments of $300000 for 15 years as it has a lower present value as compared to immediate payment.
Explanation:
We will first need to calculate the present value of the option with payments in installments for 15 years. To calculate the present value, we will use the formula for present value of annuity ordinary as the payments qualify as ordinary annuity.
The payments qualify as ordinary annuity as the payments are of equal amount, are made after equal intervals of time and are for a limited time period and made at the end of the period. The formula for present value of ordinary annuity is attached.
Present value - Option 2 = 300000 * [(1 - (1+0.08)^-15) / 0.08]
Present value - Option 2 = $2,567,843.606 rounded off to $2,567,843.61
The present value of option 1 which is immediate payment is equal to the payment amount as it is made today and it is $2,600,000.
Based on the comparison of present value for both options, Sonic Foundry Corporation should choose option 2 which is annual payments of $300000 for 15 years as it has a lower present value as compared to immediate payment.

Using a method similar to that used to calculate the consumer price index, the percentage change in the overall price level is__________
Using a method similar to that used to calculate the GDP deflator, the percentage change of the overall price level is ____________ Which of the following statements is correct? Check all that apply.
a. The inflation rate in 2018 is not the same using the two methods.
b. The CPI allows the basket of goods and services to change.
c. The GDP deflator holds the basket of goods and services constant.
Answer:
1. 52.17%
2. 50.41%
3. a. The inflation rate in 2018 is not the same using the two methods
Explanation:
1.
We are to calculate the % change in overall price level
Market basket:
Year 2017 = (30x2) + (8x4)
= 60 +32
= $92
Year 2018 = (50x2) + (10x4)
= 100+40
= $140
Cpi in 2017 = market basket in this year/market basket in base year x 100
= 92/92 x 100
= 100
Cpi in 2018
= 140/92 x 100
= 152.17
% change = 152.17 - 100 / 100
= 0.5217 x100
= 52.17%
2.
Nominal gdp in year 2017 = (20x30) +(40x8)
= 920 dollars
Real gdp in same year = 920 dollars
Gdp deflator (2018) = nominal/real x 100
= 920/920 x 100
= 100
Real gdp (2018) = (25*30) + (60x8)
= $1230
Nominal gdp(2018) = 25x50 + 60x10
= $1850
Gdp deflator = 1850/1230 x 100
= 150.41
% change in overall price level = 150.41-100/100
= 0.5041 x 100
= 50.41%
3. Using the 2 methods inflation rate in 2018 is not the same. The cpi's rate of inflation holds basket of goods to be fixed. Gdp deflator allows a fluctuation (it changes)

On average, workers in Australia can produce 3 units of agriculture output or 9 units of manufacturing output per day. In Guyana, workers can produce 4 units of agriculture or 8 units of manufacturing output per day.
1. What is the opportunity cost of agricultural output in Canada? units of manufacturing output?
2. What is the opportunity cost of agricultural output in Guyana? units of manufacturing output?
Answer:
3 UNITS OF MANUFACTURING OUTPUT
2 units of manufacturing output?
Explanation:
Opportunity cost or implicit is the cost of the option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives.
the opportunity cost of agricultural output in Australia = manufacturing output per day / agricultural output
= 9/3 = 3
the opportunity cost of agricultural output in Guyana = manufacturing output per day / agricultural output
= 8/4 = 2
Houston-based Advanced Electronics manufactures audio speakers for desktop computers. The following data relate to the period just ended when the company produced and sold 41,000 speaker sets:
Sales $3,362,000
Variable costs 840,500
Fixed costs 2,310,000
Management is considering relocating its manufacturing facilities to northern Mexico to reduce costs. Variable costs are expected to average $20.00 per set; annual fixed costs are anticipated to be $1,986,000.
Required:
1. Calculate the company’s current income and determine the level of dollar sales needed to double that figure, assuming that manufacturing operations remain in the United States.
2. Determine the break-even point in speaker sets if operations are shifted to Mexico.
3. Assume that management desires to achieve the Mexican break-even point; however, operations will remain in the United States.
4. If variable costs remain constant, by how much must fixed costs change?
5. If fixed costs remain constant, by how much must unit variable cost change?
6. Determine the impact (increase, decrease, or no effect) of the following operating changes.
A) Effect of an increase in direct material costs on the break-even point.
B) Effect of an increase in fixed administration costs on the unit contribution margin.
C) Effect of an increase in the unit contribution margin on net income.
D) Effect of a decrease in the number of units sold on the breakeven point.
Answer:
1. $211,500 and $3,644,000
2. 32,033 speaker sets (Mexican)
3. 32,033 speaker sets (Mexican required Break even)
4. $323,954 decrease
5. $11,11 decrease
6. Determining Effects :
A. decrease
B. no effect
C. increase
D. no effect
Explanation:
Part 1
a
Income = Contribution (Sales - Variable Costs) - Fixed Costs
therefore,
Income = $3,362,000 - $840,500 - $2,310,000 = $211,500
b
Double the figure of income = $211,500 x 2 = $423,000
Sales to achieve target profit = Target Profit + Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution Margin
where,
Contribution Margin = Contribution (Sales - Variable Costs) ÷ Sales
= ($3,362,000 - $840,500) ÷ $3,362,000
= 0.75
therefore,
Sales to achieve $423,000 profit = ($423,000 + $2,310,000) ÷ 0.75
= $3,644,000
Part 2
Break even point (speaker sets) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit
where,
Fixed Cost = $1,986,000
Contribution per unit = ($3,362,000 / 41,000) - $20.00 = $62.00
therefore,
Break even point (speaker sets) = $1,986,000 ÷ $62.00
= 32,033 speaker sets
Part 3
Mexico :
Break even point (speaker sets) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit
where,
Fixed Cost = $1,986,000
Contribution per unit = ($3,362,000 / 41,000) - $20.00 = $62.00
therefore,
Break even point (speaker sets) = $1,986,000 ÷ $62.00
= 32,033 speaker sets
United States :
Break even point (speaker sets) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit
where,
Fixed Cost = $2,310,000
Contribution per unit = ($3,362,000 / 41,000) - ($840,500 / 41,000) = $61.50
therefore,
Break even point (speaker sets) = $2,310,000 ÷ $61.50
= 37,561 speaker sets
Part 4
Break even point (speaker sets) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit
where,
US Fixed Cost = $2,310,000
Fixed Cost Required = Unknown
Contribution per unit = $82.00 - $20.00 = $62.00
therefore,
Fixed Cost = Breakeven Point x Contribution per unit
= 32,033 speaker sets x $62.00
= $1,986,046
Change in Fixed Costs = $323,954 decrease ($2,310,000 - $1,986,046)
Part 5
Break even point (speaker sets) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit
where,
US Fixed Cost = $2,310,000
US Contribution per unit = $82.00 - $20.00 = $62.00
Contribution per unit = $82.00 - V = Unknown
therefore,
Contribution per unit = Fixed Costs ÷ Breakeven point
= $2,310,000 ÷ 32,033 speaker sets
= $73.11
Variable Cost = Selling Price - Contribution per unit
= $82.00 - $73.11
= $8.89
Change in Variable Cost = $11,11 decrease ($20.00 - $8.89)

Total 20,900 $425,484
OUTPUTS
Completed and transferred 15,600 $302,952
Ending Work in Process 5,300 $90,185
Total 20,900 $393,137
Explanation:
Note : I will use the FIFO method for this question since the information given is only suitable for this method.
Assembly Department
First, calculate the equivalent units of production with respect to materials and conversion costs :
1.Materials
To finish Opening Work In Process (4,100x0%) = 0
Started and Completed ((15,600 - 4,100) x100%) = 11,500
Ending Work In Process (5,300x 100%) = 5,300
Equivalent units with respect to materials = 16,800
2.Conversion costs
To finish Opening Work In Process (4,100x60%) = 2,460
Started and Completed ((15,600 - 4,100) x100%) = 11,500
Ending Work In Process (5,300x 80%) = 4,240
Equivalent units with respect to conversion costs = 19,840
Next, calculate the total costs with respect to materials and conversion costs :
1. Materials
FIFO method only accounts for costs incurred during the period
Costs Incurred during the period = $124,320
Total Material costs = $124,320
2. Conversion Costs
FIFO method only accounts for costs incurred during the period
Costs Incurred during the period ($140,000 + $98,420) = $238,420
Total Conversion costs = $238,420
Next, calculate the cost per equivalent unit of materials, conversion costs and in total
1. Materials
Cost per equivalent = Total Costs / Total Equivalent Units
Therefore,
Cost per equivalent = $124,320/ 16,800
= $7.40
2. Conversion Costs
Cost per equivalent = Total Costs / Total Equivalent Units
Therefore,
Cost per equivalent = $238,420/ 19,840
= $12.02
3. Total
Total unit cost = materials unit cost + Conversion unit cost
= $7.40 + $12.02
= $19.42
Finally, calculate the total cost of units completed and transferred out and units still in process
1. units completed and transferred out
Total cost = units completed and transferred out x total unit cost
= 15,600 units x $19.42
= $302,952
2. units still in process
Total cost = material costs + conversion costs
= 5,300 x $7.40 + 4,240 x $12.02
= $90,184.80

Iris did not file her 2019 tax return until May 23, 2020. She is due a $530 refund. Iris's failure-to-file penalty is:
Answer: $0
Explanation:
The tax return failure-to-file penalty is only levied when a person is supposed to pay taxes with the penalty being levied on the tax amount due.
If however, it is a tax return that is due, there is no late filling penalty because a penalty will not be charged on a refund. This is also the official position of the IRS. Iris therefore will suffer no failure-to-file penalty.

Mansfield, Inc., has two production departments, Assembly and Packaging. The company uses a job-order costing system and computes a predetermined overhead rate in each production department. The predetermined overhead rate in the Assembly Department is based on machine hours (MHs) and it is based on direct labor-hours (DLHs) in the Packaging Department. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates:
Assembly Packaging
Direct labor-hours 5,200 62,000
Machine-hours 68, 400 11,900
Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $390,000 $419,000
Variable manufacturing overhead per DLH $ 3.75
Variable manufacturing overhead per MH $ 3.00 Knowledge Check 01
Required:
What is the estimated total manufacturing overhead in the Assembly Department?
a) $595,200
b) $651,600
c) $809.000
d) $1,246,700
Answer:
Total manufacturing overhead= $595,200
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The predetermined overhead rate in the Assembly Department is based on machine hours (MHs).
Assembly
Machine-hours 68, 400
Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $390,000
Variable manufacturing overhead per MH $ 3.00
To calculate the total estimated overhead cost for the Assembly department, we need to calculate the total variable manufacturing overhead:
Total varaible overhead= 3*68,400= $205,200
Now, the total manufacturing overhead:
Total manufacturing overhead= 390,000 + 205,200
Total manufacturing overhead= $595,200

2.
a.
The gain is reported as a realized gain in the income statement after operating income for the period.
b.
The loss is reported as a realized loss in the income statement after operating income for the period.
Explanation:
1.
We need to calculate the depreciation for the 3 months of 2016.
Depreciation for the period = ( ( Initial cost -Residual Value ) / Useful life ) x Time Fraction = ( ( $45,500 -$3,000 ) / 5 ) x 3/12 = $2,125
Book Value on April 1, 2016 = Book Value on December 31, 2015 - Depreciation for 2016 = $11,500 - $2,125 = $9,375
Accumulated Depreciation = Initial cost - Book value = $45,500 - $9,375 = $36,125
Now compare The bok value o sale price to calculate the gain or losss
a.
Gain = Sale Value - Book value = $11,125 - $9,375 = $1,750
b.
Loss = Book Value - Sale value = $9,375 - $7,525 = $1,850
