Explanation:
Solution
Many state bar affiliations have looked to make their advertising guidelines increasingly rigid, apparently in light of the fact that the picture of the legal calling has been enduring lately.
This example tries to clarify these changes endeavors by looking at whether bar affiliations are reacting to requests of individuals as exhibited by mentalities towards advertising, just as by their advertising practices.
For example let us take the case of law firm Bates where U.S Preeminent Court choices are not having their expected impacts and that advertising by legal advisors is misdirecting and compounding, making an atmosphere ready for change
Then again, the choices may be having their expected impacts of driving down costs and permitting youthful firms/lawyers to look for customers all the more adequately.
Utilizing study information of little firm legal advisors accumulated in four states before the change development got a lot of consideration, the proof recommends neither of these clarifications represents endeavors to make advertising progressively troublesome.
The little firm legal counselors, those suggested to profit by Bates and ensuing choices, have not changed their conduct in any calculable way.
Most advertising is in the business catalog and costs practically nothing, also mentalities toward advertising are not especially ideal.

Closet Links Clothing Company provided the following manufacturing costs for the month of June. Direct labor cost $ 132 comma 000 Direct materials cost 83 comma 000 Equipment depreciation (straightminusline) 20 comma 000 Factory insurance 18 comma 000 Factory manager's salary 10 comma 000 Janitor's salary 3 comma 000 Packaging costs 19 comma 800 Property taxes 16 comma 000 From the above information, calculate Closet Link's total variable costs.
Answer:
Closet Link's total variable costs is $234,800
Explanation:
Given:
Direct labor cost = $ 132,000
Direct materials cost = $83,000
Equipment depreciation (straight-line) = $20,000
Factory insurance = $18,000
Factory manager's salary = $10,000
Janitor's salary = $3,000
Packaging costs = $19,800
Property taxes = $16,000
Total variable costs = Direct materials cost + Direct labor cost + Packaging costs
= $83,000 + $132,000 + $19,800 = $234,800
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.

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 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.
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.
Bonita Industries’s cost of goods sold is $460000 variable and $260000 fixed. The company’s selling and administrative expenses are $340000 variable and $400000 fixed. If the company’s sales is $1700000, what is its net income?
Answer:
$900,000
Explanation:
I assume the question should be what is the Contribution margin? because the Formula for deriving Net Income is Contribution margin - Fixed costs which does not relate to the question above
Contribution Margin= Sales - Variable (Cost of Goods Sold) - Variable selling and administrative expenses
CM= $1700000 - $460000 - $340000
CM=$900,000
The contribution margin is $900,000
A type of entity that must have one general partner and at least one limited partner. b. A type of entity in which owners are "members". c. A type of entity in which all owners are jointly and severally liable for the entity's debts. d. A type of entity in which there can be only one owner.
Answer: a) Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)
b) Limited Liability Company (LLC)
c) General Partnership
d) Sole Proprietorship
Explanation: Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) - A type of entity that must have one general partner and at least one limited partner.
Limited Liability Company (LLC)- A type of entity in which owners are "members".
General Partnership - A type of entity in which all owners are jointly and severally liable for the entity's debts.
Sole Proprietorship - A type of entity in which there can be only one owner.
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
planes that seat 320 passengers and cost $200 million each, planes that seat 250 passengers and cost $125 million each, and Lockheed planes that seat 275 passengers and cost $200 million each. You are the purchasing manager of an airline company and have a spending goal of $2,900 million for the purchase of new aircrafts to seat a total of 4,480 passengers. Also, you must buy twice as many Lockheed airplanes as Airbus planes. How many of each type of airplane should you order
Answer:
As Boing is much better in the cost per seat It will purchase from Boing and only to fullfil the requirement
1 airbus 320 seat $ 200
18 boing 4500 seat $ 2,250
2 loockheed 550 seat $ 400
Total 5,370 seat $ 2, 850
Explanation:
Airbus 320 seat $ 200M
Boeing 250 seat $ 125 M
Lockheed 275 seat $ 200 M
We need to get 4,480 seats with a budget of 2,900 millions plus the composition requirement of twice as many Lockheed as Airbus:
Those we will purchase an Airbus and two Lockheed to get the requirement of twice as many Lockheed as Airbus
The rest of the budget will be expended on Boeing
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!
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.
the cost object(s) of the activity-based costing method is(are): Multiple Choice The unit of product. The production departments of the company. The production activities of the company. The production activities in the first stage and the unit of product in the second stage. The unit of product in the first stage and the production activities in the second stage.
Answer: d. The production activities in the first stage and the unit of product in the second stage
Explanation:
Activity based Costing is primarily a method of assigning indirect costs like administrative expenses to the goods and services manufactured by a company by basing it on the activities of the company.
With Activity Based Costing, the company aims to figure out how much these aforementioned activities cost first and then calculating the cost per unit in the second stage by assigning cost per level of activity.

Answer:
1. 8.56%
2. 18.74%
3. 14.22%
4. 10.85%
Explanation:
Effective annual rate = (1 + periodic interest rate) ^m - 1
M = number of compounding per year
1. (1 + 0.083 / 4 ) ^ 4 - 1 = 0.085619 = 8.56%
2. ( 1 + 0.173 / 12)^ 12 - 1 = 0.187399 = 18.74%
3. (1 + 0.133 / 365)^ 365 - 1 = 0.1422 = 14.22%
4. For continuous compounding = e^r - 1
e = 2.7182818
e^0.103 - 1 = 0.108491 = 10.85%

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.
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)

Ellie is an internal Consumer Insights researcher for JumpBab, a company that makes children's game Apps for smart devices. In her research of marketing trends, she observes that the downloads for her Apps is positively related to the per capita consumption of goat cheese; and negatively related to the number of engine failures of Ford Fiesta cars in the USA. Excited at finding these interesting relationships between these variables, she declares to her Marketing Manager that "JumpBab should include mentions goat cheese in all our marketing communications, but really stay away from Ford Fiesta cars!" Despite the statistical soundness of the data, Ellie's Marketing manager scoffs at her suggestion. This is likely because:
Answer: a. Ellie has most likely tapped into an illusionary correlation in her data.
