Answer:
inflation
Explanation:
The inflation rate refers to the rate at which the general price level of the goods and services sold in a country increase from one period to another. Generally inflation is measured in a quarter or yearly basis. A low inflation rate, like the one experienced during the 1990s is generally considered good and healthy for an economy.
When the inflation rate is extremely high, at least 50% per month, it is defined as hyperinflation.
Consider whether each of the following events is likely to increase or decrease real GDP. In each case, do you think the well-being of the average person in society most likely changes in the same direction as real GDP?Why or why not?
a. A hurricane in Florida forces Disney World to shut down for a month.
b. The discovery of a new, easy-to-grow strain of wheat increases farm harvests.
c. Increased hostility between unions and management sparks a rash of strikes.
d. Firms throughout the economy experience falling demand, causing them to lay of workers.
e. Congress passes new environmental laws that prohibit firms from using production methods that emit large quantities of pollution.
f. More high school students drop out of school to take jobs mowing lawns.
g. Fathers around the country reduce their workweeks to spend more time with their children.
Answer:
a. A hurricane in Florida forces Disney World to shut down for a month.
Likely to decrease GDP because the economic activity of Disney World, which is part of GDP either as investment or consumption, is frozen for a whole month.
The average person will not likely feel the effects of the shutdown because as a percetange of the whole population, the amount of people who either work, or go to Disney World in a given month, is very small.
b. The discovery of a new, easy-to-grow strain of wheat increases farm harvests.
Likely to increase GDP because the harvest of wheat will be much larger, raising the value of that economic activity.
The average person is likely to benefit from this event because the larger wheat output means lower prices, and wheat is a food staple.
c. Increased hostility between unions and management sparks a rash of strikes.
Likely to decrease GDP because the companies involved in the strikes will stop their economic activity until an agreement is reached.
The average person will not feel the effects unless they are either part of the unions or part of the management of the firms involved.
e. Congress passes new environmental laws that prohibit firms from using production methods that emit large quantities of pollution.
Likely to decrease GDP because firms cannot replace their polluting methods for non-polluting ones very quickly. They will have to produce less.
The average person will feel the effects because the enviromental law comes from Congress, so is a federal law, applies nationally, and as a result, the number of firms affected is very large.
f. More high school students drop out of school to take jobs mowing lawns.
likely to increase GDP in the short-run, because students are now taking part of an economic activity. In the long-run, this is likely to decrease GDP because less educated people are less productive and thus, contribute less to GDP on average.
The average person will not feel any effects unless the number of high shcool drop outs is very large.
g. Fathers around the country reduce their workweeks to spend more time with their children.
likely to decrease GDP simply because fathers are now working less, and producing less. However, this could change if worker productivity goes up, and the fathers produce the same in less time.
Again, whether the average person feels the effects or not depends on the number of fathers that take this decision.
Your company rents computers to local businesses and schools. You have 1,600 computers with a book value of $163,000. As a result of changing technology, your computers are more difficult to rent so you must drastically reduce your rental price, which causes a decrease in estimated future cash flows. The fair value of the computers is estimated to be $123,500 because of their outdated technology. Your company should report an asset impairment loss of:
Answer:
Your company should report an asset impairment loss of : $39,500
Explanation:
Impairment loss is recognized when the Carrying Amount of an Asset exceed its Recoverable Amount.
Carrying Amount
Carrying Amount is the Cost of Asset less its Accumulated Depreciation
Carrying Asset of Computers = $163,000
Recoverable Amount
Recoverable Amount is the Higher of :
Value in Use of Asset orFair Value less Cost to Sale the AssetIn this case the Recoverable amount is $123,500
Analysis for impairment loss
Carrying Amount : $163,000 > Recoverable Amount : $123,500,
Thus we have an impairment situation.
Impairment loss is $39,500 ($163,000 - $123,500)
College education results in a positive externality for society. Explain whether the market failure that results from this externality is already being addressed with respect to college tuition in Texas.
Answer:
In simple words, positive externalilty refers to the phenomenon under which an etity or an individual takes advanatage of any sctions made bo some other entity. Education helps to make individual build a strong character which further results in overall development of the society.
Free university education in Texas would be good for society in terms of quality education becoming cost effective to everyone and thus everyone would be able to sign up for college degree. This would end up making university education accessible to all and improve their standard of living.
However, on the other hand, free university education might make them take things for granted, and the seriousness of education would be significantly reduced. At the very same period, it will be very costly for the state to employ a professional faculty to provide education.
The debt ratio is used: Question 23 options: To measure the ratio of equity to expenses. To assess the risk associated with a company's use of liabilities. Only by banks when a business applies for a loan. To determine how much debt a firm should pay off. To determine how much debt a company should borrow.
Answer:
To assess the risk associated with a company's use of liabilities
Explanation:
The formula for debt =total liabilities/equity
It is evident from the formula above that debt ratio does not measure the ratio of equity to expenses, neither does it determine the amount of debt that could be borrowed.
In actual fact, it measures the risk inherent in making use of debt as a source of finance instead of equity.
Newport Printing paid a $2.50 dividend over the past year. During the coming year, the dividend is expected to rise by five percent, while the required return on stocks in this risk class is eleven percent. What is the value of Newport Printing
Answer: $43.75
Explanation:
The value of Newport Printing stock can be calculated using the Dividend Growth Model which uses dividends and a growth rate to calculate the value of stock.
Formula is,
P = D( 1 + g) / ( r - g)
P is the price of stock
D is the dividend
g is the growth rate
r is the required return.
P= 2.5( 1 + 0.05) / (0.11 - 0.05)
= 2.625/0.06
= $43.75
Which of the following is a major difference between Internet banks and traditional banks? The government does not regulate Internet banks. Traditional banks are prohibited from having ATMs. Internet banks have lower overhead costs. Traditional banks offer less personal care and attention to customers.
Answer:
Internet Banks have lower overhead costs.
Explanation:
Online Banks and traditional banks are basically the same with the main difference being that Internet Banks have lower overhead costs. These are costs on the income statement usually including accounting fees, advertising, insurance, interest, legal fees, labor burden, rent, repairs, supplies, taxes, telephone bills, travel expenditures, and utilities. Since Internet Banks do not need many physical locations they save on many of these overhead fees.
Which of the following statements is most correct? a. All else equal, if a bond’s yield to maturity increases, its price will fall. b. All else equal, if a bond is down graded by the rating agencies its yield to maturity will increase. c. If a firm has two bond issues that are identical except one is subordinate to the other, the subordinate issue will have a higher yield to maturity than the other issue. d. A B and C are correct. e. None of the above are correct
Answer: d. A B and C are correct.
Explanation:
A bond's price and it's Yield to Maturity (YTM) are inversely related such that when Yield to Maturity rises, the price of the bond falls. This is a because a higher YTM signifies that the bond is riskier so it will compensate by being cheaper.
If a bond is downgraded by Ratings agencies then it means that the bond is now riskier. As it is riskier investors will charge more interest for taking on the risk. The interest is the YTM and so it rises.
A Subordinate bond means that if the company were to go into bankruptcy for instance, the Subordinate bond would only be paid for after the bond that is not Subordinated. This means that there is a chance that Subordinate bond holders will not get anything from the liquidation of the company. Investors will therefore charge a higher YTM to cater for the risk that this happens.
Heinz Ketchup holds 54% of the U.S. ketchup market, and nine of every 10 restaurants feature Heinz ketchup. However, Heinz has learned that many restaurant owners simply refill Heinz bottles with cheaper ketchup, thereby capitalizing on the Heinz name without the cost. One restaurant owner explains, "It’s just ketchup. The customers don’t notice." There are no specific health regulations that apply, and owners are not breaking the law by refilling the bottles. Do you think this practice is ethical?
Answer:
No, not at all. The practice is NOT ethical.
Explanation:
So, from the question above let us take each statement one after the other.
(1). "Heinz Ketchup holds 54% of the U.S. ketchup market, and nine of every 10 restaurants feature Heinz ketchup"
DEDUCTION FROM (1): this shows that Heinz Ketchup is a popular brand in the United States of America.
(2). " Heinz has learned that many restaurant owners simply refill Heinz bottles with cheaper ketchup, thereby capitalizing on the Heinz name without the cost. One restaurant owner explains, "It’s just ketchup. The customers don’t notice." There are no specific health regulations that apply, and owners are not breaking the law by refilling the bottles"
DEDUCTION FROM (2): What these other restaurants owners are doing is purely CHEAT that is "refill Heinz bottles with cheaper ketchup". CHEATING IS UNETHICAL!
Hemming uses a periodic inventory system. Assume that ending inventory is consists of 45 units from the March 14 purchase, 75 units from the July 30 purchase, and all 100 units from the October 26 purchase.

Required:
Hemming uses a periodic inventory system. Assume that ending inventory is consists of 45 nits from the March 14 purchase, 75 units from the July 30 purchase, and all 100 units from the October 26 purchase. Using the specific identification method calculate the (a) cost of goods sold and (b) the gross profit.
Answer:
a) Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available for sale minus ending inventory = $18,750 - $4,675 = $14,075
b) Gross profit = Sales - Cost of goods sold
= $35,200 - 14,075 = $21,125
Explanation:
a) Sales:
Jan. 10 Sales, 150 units at $40 = $6,000
Mar. 15 Sales, 300 units at $40 = 12,000
Oct. 5 Sales, 430 units at $40 = 17,200
Total sales = $35,200
b) Determination of Ending Inventory:
March 14 purchase 45 units x $15 = $675
July 30 purchase 75 units x $20 = $1,500
October 26 purchase 100 units x $25 = $2,500
Total cost of Ending Inventory $4,675
c) Specific Identification Method:
These inventory costing methods are used to ascertain the cost of goods sold and the ending inventory values. Using periodic inventory, the valuation is done at the end of the period. They are FIFO (First-In-First-Out) method, LIFO (Last-In-First-Out) method, weighted average method, and specific identification method. These methods can be applied under perpetual inventory system or periodic inventory system. The difference is in the timing of the valuation activity.

The Ethics of Care recognizes that human relationships are often asymmetrical and tries to incorporate this fact into the view by claiming that moral responsibility is partially determined by how vulnerable a person is in a relationship.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Care means meeting the needs of ourselves and others. Ethics of care involves practising virtues as it maintain relationship and promote the well-being of those who give and receive care in social relations. It is hinged on the theory of what makes an action right or wrong.
Ideally, ethics of care is inspired to take care of the less privilege, the dependants and vulnerable. It place relevance on relationships, responsibility, concern over traditional rule. Ethics of care recognize that human relationships are not similar or do not perfectly match up hence incorporate this fact into the view and claiming that moral duty is partially determined by how vulnerable a person is in a relationship.
While ethics of care seems to place emphasis on social well being of vulnerable, yet it has being a foremost part of ethical issues among professionals such as medical practitioners.
g Suppose the banking system has $100,000 in outstanding deposits and actual reserves of $50,000. Using the simple money multiplier formula (i.e., individuals hold no cash), if the required reserve ratio is 40%, the maximum possible amount that the banking system can now add to the money supply is:Group of answer choices$15,000$20,000$25,000$40,000
Answer: $25,000
Explanation:
The Money Multiplier allows us to calculate how much money banks can create in an economic given a certain reserve ratio.
The formula is;
Money Multiplier = 1 /reserve ratio
= 1/ 0.4
= 2.5
The reserve ratio is 40% which means the bank should be holding 40% of deposits as reserves.
= 100,000 * 40%
= $40,000
Yet they are holding $50,000. They are holding $10,000 more than required. Should they release that $10,000 then they will create;
= 10,000 * money Multiplier
= 10,000 * 2.5
= $25,000

Polk Software Inc. has a quick ratio of 2.00, $29,475 in cash, $16,375 in accounts receivable, some inventory, total current assets of $65,500, and total current liabilities of $22,925. The company reported annual sales of $500,000, and cost of goods sold equal to 75% of sales in the most recent annual report. Over the past year, how often did Polk Software Inc. sell and replace its inventory?
Answer:
Inventory Turnover = 19.08 times
Inventory Days = 19.13 days
Explanation:
Polk Software Inc.
Quick ratio 2.00,
Cash $29,475
Accounts receivable $16,375
Inventory= ?= $19650
Total current assets $65,500
Total current liabilities $22,925
Annual sales $500,000,
Cost of Goods Sold 75% of sales= $375,000
Quick Ratio = Current Assets - Inventory/Current liabilities
Quick Ratio *Current liabilities= Current Assets - Inventory
2* $22,925= $65,500- Inventory
45850 = $65,500- Inventory
$65,500-45850= Inventory
Inventory = $19650
Inventory Turnover = Cost Of Good Sold/ Average Inventory
We take the current inventory as the average inventory
Inventory Turnover = $ 375,000/ 19650= 19.08 times
Inventory Turnover tells us that how often the inventory is converted to sales.
High inventory turnover means how often inventory is converted to sales .
Inventory Days = 365/inventory Turnover = 365/19.08 = 19.13 days
Inventory days means the average number of days the company holds ints inventory before it is sold.

ABC Appliance offers a warranty requiring an annual fee. The warranty may be purchased at the time of sale or at any time within the first year after the appliance was purchased. The warranty fee after the date of purchase is twice the time-of-purchase fee. When asked why the fee was higher after the date of purchase, ABC's president said, "Buying a warranty is voluntary. We've noted that those who buy the warranty after the purchase date have a greater need for service." Charging the same rate or a lower rate after the date of purchase would expose ABC to what problem that also impacts private insurers?
Answer: adverse selection
Explanation:
Adverse selection is a situation whereby the sellers possesses information that the buyers do not have. It may also be the other way round whereby the buyers have information which the sellers don't have regarding the quality of a product.
There is information failure between both parties; typically, it's usually the sellers who has more information. Therefore, base on the scenario above, charging same rate or lower rate after the date of the purchase would expose ABC to adverse selection problems.
The Fed has decided to expand the money supply, leading to lower interest rates.

According to the information in the survey, the unemployment rate is:_______
Answer:
27%
Explanation:
Number of Persons in the Household = 90
Neither Employed Nor Unemployed
Children Under 16 =10Disabled = 5Retired =10Stay at Home Parents = 5Full Time Students over the age of 16= 5Total =35
Unemployed
10 people had no job but were looking for jobs5 people who wanted a job but were not looking for a job.Total =15Employed
35 people had full-time jobs5 had part-time jobsTotal =35+5=40
Total Labour Force = Unemployed +Employed = 40+15 =55
Unemployment Rate = (Unemployed People / Total Labor) x 100
=15/55 X 100
=27%
According to the information in the survey, the unemployment rate is: 27%
If a fixed asset, such as a computer, were purchased on January 1 for $2,061 with an estimated life of 5 years and a salvage or residual value of $159, the journal entry for monthly expense under straight-line depreciation is

Orrick Company reported total assets of $4,200,000, total liabilities of $700,000, and total equity of $3,500,000 at the end of the year and total sales of $15,000,000 during the year. The company's debt-to-equity ratio (stated in a percentage rounded to one decimal point) is _____. 0.2% 0.5% 2.0% 20.0%
Answer:
The correct option is 20.0%
Explanation:
debt to equity ratio considers the total liabilities of a company as percentage of its equity stockholders' value.
Total liabilities in this case is $700,000 compared to total equity of $3,500,000.
company's debt-to-equity ratio=$700,000/$3,500,000=20.0%
The debt-to-equity ratio should not be confused with debt-to-assets ratio,which has a different formula altogether.
