Maria is very proud of herself for having $3,000 in her savings account that pays 3 percent interest. She currently has a balance of $1,800 on her credit card account that charges 18 percent interest. Maria thinks she is making a wise financial decision by keeping her money in her savings account instead of paying off her credit card balance. What financial principle from Chapter One would you use to give her good advice

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: b. mind games and your money

Explanation:

This falls under Mental accounting where our minds play games with our money by dividing them into various accounts and uses based on our emotions.

Sunk costs play a big part in this because we get so attached to the accounts we have put a lot of effort in while neglecting those we have not or do not want to think about. Maria here is proud of her savings account so much so that she does not see the detrimental effect of not paying off the credit card debt which is rising rapidly.

Her savings account is now a sunk cost and she doesn't realize. This principle can help advise her so she understands the games her mind is playing on her and fix it before the damage gets worse.

Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge wine producers a tax. Before the tax, 30,000 bottles of wine were sold every week at a price of $6 per bottle. After the tax, 25,000 bottles of wine are sold every week; consumers pay $8 per bottle, and producers receive $5 per bottle (after paying the tax). The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is $ per bottle. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $ per bottle, and the burden that falls on producers is $ per bottle. True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been smaller if the tax had been levied on consumers. True False

Answers

Answer:

The amount of tax is:

= Price paid by consumers - Price received by producers

= 8 - 5

= $3

Burden on consumers:

= Price after tax - Price before tax

= 8 - 6

= $2

Burden on Producers:

= Amount received before tax - Amount received after tax

= 6 - 5

= $1

The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been smaller if the tax had been levied on consumers. ⇒ FALSE.

Tax effects are the same regardless of if levied on consumers directly or on producers.

Eddie is a production engineer for a major supplier of component parts for cars. He has determined that a robot can be installed on the production line to replace one employee. The employee earns $20 per hour and benefits worth $8 per hour for a total annual cost of $58,240 this year. Eddie estimates this cost will increase 6% each year. The robot will cost $16,500 to operate for the first year with costs increasing by $1500 each year. The firm uses an interest rate of 15% and a 10-year planning horizon. The robot costs $75,000 installed and will have a salvage value of $5000 after 10 years. Should Eddie recommend that purchase of the robot

Answers

Answer:

Eddie should recommend the purchase of the robot.

Explanation:

This can be determined using the following 3 steps:

Step 1: Calculation of the present worth (PW) of the cost of one employee

This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the the present value (PV) of a growing annuity as follows:

PWE = (P / (r - g)) * (1 - ((1 + g) / (1 + r))^n) .................... (1)

Where;

PWE = Present worth of the cost of one employee = ?

P = first or this year annual cost = $58,240

r = interest rate = 15%, or 0.15

g = annual growth rate of cost of the one employee = 6%, or 0.06

n = number of years = 10

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

PWE = ($58,240 / (0.15 - 0.06)) * (1 - ((1 + 0.06) / (1 + 0.15))^10) = $360,654.33

Step 2: Calculation of the present worth (PW) of the cost of the robot

This can be calculated using the following formula:

PWR = C + ((P / (r - g)) * (1 - ((1 + g) / (1 + r))^n)) - (SV / (1 + r)^n) .................... (2)

Where;

PWR = Present worth of the cost of the robot = ?

C = cost of installing the robot = $75,000

P = first year cost of operating the robot = $16,500

r = interest rate = 15%, or 0.15

g = annual growth rate of cost of operating the robot = Annual increase in cost / P =  $1500 / $16,500 = 0.0909090909090909

n = number of years = 10

SV = Salvage value = $5,000

Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:

PWR = $75,000 + (($16,500 / (0.15 - 0.0909090909090909)) * (1 - ((1 + 0.0909090909090909) / (1 + 0.15))^10)) - (SV / (1 + 0.15)^10) = $188,227.75

Step 3: Recommendation

PWE = Present worth of the cost of one employee = $360,654.33

PWR = Present worth of the cost of the robot = $188,227.75

Since present worth of the cost of the robot of $188,227.75 is lower than the present worth of the cost of one employee of $360,654.33, Eddie should recommend the purchase of the robot.

Determine cost of goods sold for X-mart, assuming that beginning inventory was $5,000. Net purchases were $20,000 and ending inventory was $9,000. Multiple choice question. $16,000 $24,000 $20,000 $6,000 g

Answers

Answer:

$16,000

Explanation:

Beginning inventory is $5,000

Net purchases is $20,000

Ending inventory is $9,000

Therefore the cost of goods sold can be calculated as follows

= (5,000+20,000)-9,000

= 25,000-9,000

= 16,000

Hence the cost of goods sold is $16,000

Henkes Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on the estimated labor-hours for the upcoming year. At the beginning of the most recently completed year, the company estimated the labor-hours for the upcoming year at 54,000 labor-hours. The estimated variable manufacturing overhead was $7.90 per labor-hour and the estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead was $961,200. The actual labor-hours for the year turned out to be 56,300 labor-hours. Required: Compute the company's predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

$17.80 per labor-hour

Explanation:

Predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted Fixed Overheads ÷ Budgeted Activity

                                                  = $961,200 ÷ 54,000 labor-hours

                                                  = $17.80 per labor-hour

Predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year is $17.80 per labor-hour.

Suppose that there are two types of employees: Narutos and Sasukes. Employers cannot distinguish between the two types during a job. interview, but they value Narutos more because everyone is more productive around them. Assume that the value of a Sasuke-type employee is $10 and the value of a Naruto type is $20. Also assume that the cost of education for a Sasuke is 2.5y and the cost of education for a Naruto is 2y, where y is years of education. If Narutos make up 25% ofthe population:
a. What is the pooling equilibrium wage?
b. What values of y will lead to a separating equilibrium?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

The average wage is expected to be paid to both workers since it is difficult tot distinguish between the two types.

w_s = 10

w_N = 20

ω_s = 2.5y

ω_N = 2y

proportion of N types (λ) = 0.25

proportion of S types (1-λ) = 0.75

Thus, the pooling wage = λ_Nw_N + λ_Sw_S

= (0.25 × 20) + (0.75 × 10)

= 5.0 + 7.5

= $12.5

(b)

The separating equilibrium can be computed as follows:

N-type ( High type) : w_N- w_S > ω_N

= 20 - 10 > 2y

2y < 10

y < 5

For an S-type (low type); the cost of education needs to be greater than the increment in wages if the education is acquired.

w_N- w_S > ω_S

If education is acquired, S-type will get wages as of N-types

Thus;

20-10 <2.5y

10 < 2.5y

y > 4

Hence, the value of y= (4,5)

A small firm intends to increase the capacity of a bottleneck operation by adding a new machine. Two alternatives, A and B, have been identified and the associated costs and revenues have been estimated. Annual fixed costs would be $40,000 for A and $30,000 for B; variable costs per unit would be $10 for A and $12 for B; and revenue per unit would be $15 for A and $16 for B.
a) Determine each alternative’s break-even point in units.
b) At what volume of output would the two alternatives yield the same profit?
c) If expected annual demand is 12,000 units, which alternative would yield the higher profit?

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Alternative A:

Fixed costs= $40,000

Variable cost per unti= $10

Revenue per unit= $15

Alternative B:

Fixed costs= $30,000

Variable cost per unti= $12

Revenue per unit= $16

First, we need to calculate the break-even point in units using the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Alternative A= 40,000 / (15 - 10)

Alternative A= 8,000

Alternative B= 30,000 / (16 - 12)

Alternative B= 7,500  

To calculate the indifference point in units, we need to determine the net income equations:

Alternativa A= 5*x - 40,000

Alternative B= 4*x - 30,000

x= number of units

We equal both formulas and isolate x:

5x - 40,000 = 4x - 30,000

x = 10,000

The indifference point is 10,000 units.

Finally, the higher income for 12,000 units:

Alternativa A= 5*12,000 - 40,000= $20,000

Alternative B= 4*12,000 - 30,000= $18,000

For 12,000 units the best option is alternative A.

You are an employee of an US firm that produces personal computers in Thailand and then exports them to the US and other countries for sale. The personal computers were originally produced in Thailand to take advantage of relatively low labor costs and a skilled workforce. Other possible locations considered at that time were Malaysia and Hong Kong. The US government decides to impose punitive 100% ad valorem tariffs on imports of computers from Thailand to punish the country for administrative trade barriers that restrict US exports to Thailand. How should your firm respond? What does this tell you about the use of targeted trade barriers?

Answers

Answer:

In the short-run, I will encourage my firm to export the computers to Canada first, directly from Thailand.  From Canada, the computers can be exported into the USA.  But this is not the long-term solution.  There will be need to find another country in which production will be cost-effective and from which the goods can be exported directly into the USA.

Another approach would be to engage in lobbying, within acceptable rules, the governments of Thailand and the US to end the administrative barriers.

Explanation:

There is no single economy that benefits from trade restrictions. Therefore, every effort should be made to reduce, to the barest minimum, all forms of trade barriers, which stunt economic growth and development.  Give and take, in the spirit of competition, should be encouraged at all times.

Answer:

A)The Null hypothesis ; H0 : u ≤ 69

The Alternate hypothesis ; H1 : u ≥ 69

B) The recruiting center claim is found at 5% significance level

C) ( 69.9488, 71.4512 )

Explanation:

A) Identify the null and alternate hypothesis

since the recruiting center is trying to test if the average height of the year's recruit is > 69.  hence

The Null hypothesis ; H0 : u ≤ 69

The Alternate hypothesis ; H1 : u ≥ 69

B) Determine if the recruiters find support from the given claim at the 5% significance level

 As a single tailed test we will calculate the mean and standard deviation first using MS excel

 mean ( X ) = 70.7

 standard deviation ( s ) = 3.02

next we will calculate the test statistic using the formula below

 t = [tex]\frac{X-u}{s/\sqrt{n} }[/tex]   = [tex]\frac{70.7-69}{3.02/\sqrt{64} }[/tex]   = 4.503

next we will determine the P-value using MS excel

t = 4.503 , n = 64

df ( degree of freedom ) = n - 1   ( for a one tailed test )

                                        = 64 - 1 = 63

hence the p-value at 63 degree of freedom = 0.0000148 ( using MS excel )

The p - value < significance level  hence Null hypothesis is rejected while Alternate hypothesis is accepted.

The recruiting center claim is valid at 5% significance level

C)  using sample data to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the average

The 95% confidence interval for the mean value u = ( 69.9488, 71.4512 )

Therefore The claim made is a reasonable one

"Insurance is a waste of money. If and when you suffer a financial loss because of an

accident or some other event, you can pay for it from your savings account."

Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Explain your position.

Answers

Answer:

disagree

Explanation:

As a personal opinion I strongly disagree with this statement. This is because for the majority of the people on Earth that live day to day with their finances, an accident can completely wreck them financially. A simple car, house, or health accident can cost thousands of dollars in loss or even hundreds of thousands. Most people would not have 10% of that in a savings account. Therefore, Insurance can be extremely helpful and in most cases cover the entirety of the accident which can (in a way) give you a second chance.

Harold Manufacturing produces denim clothing. This year, it produced 5,000 denim jackets at a manufacturing cost of $45 each. These jackets were damaged in the warehouse during storage. Management investigated the matter and identified three alternatives for these jackets. Jackets can be sold as is to a secondhand clothing shop for $6 each.Jackets can be disassembled at a cost of $32,000 and sold to a recycler for $12 each.Jackets can be reworked and turned into good jackets. However, with the damage, management estimates it will be able to assemble the good parts of the 5,000 jackets into only 3,000 jackets. The remaining pieces of fabric will be discarded. The cost of reworking the jackets will be $102,000, but the jackets can then be sold for their regular price of $45 each.Required:1. Calculate the incremental income.

Answers

Answer:

ALTERNATIVE 1 $30,000

ALTERNATIVE 2 $28,000

ALTERNATIVE 3 $33,000

Explanation:

Calculation for the incremental income

ALTERNATIVE 1 Sell as it is

Incremental revenue $30,000

(5,000*$6)

Incremental costs $0

Incremental Income $30,000

ALTERNATIVE 2 Disassemble and sell to recycler

Incremental revenue $60,000

(5,000*$12)

Incremental costs $32,000

Incremental Income $28,000

ALTERNATIVE3 Rework and turn into good jackets

Incremental revenue $135,000

(3,000*$45)

Incremental costs $102,000

Incremental Income $33,000

Therefore based on the above calculation the company should choose ALTERNATIVE 3 of the amount of $33,000


When originally purchased, a truck costing BD 23.000 had an estimated useful life of 8 years and an estimated salvage value of BD 3,000. After 4 years of
straight-line depreciation, the ascet's total estimated useful life was revised from 8 years to 6 years and there was no change in the estimated salvage valoe. The
depreciation expense in year 3 cquals:
ABD 5,000
O & BD 5.750.
O CBD 2.875.
ODBD 2,500.

Answers

Answer:

d. BD 2,500

Explanation:

Accumulated Depreciation through the end of year 4 = [ Asset's cost - Salvage Value) / Estimated Useful Life] * Years Elapsed

= [(23,000 - 3,000)/8] * 4

= BD 10,000

Depreciation in Year 3 = [Asset's cost - Salvage Value - Accumulated Depreciation] / Remaining Estimated Useful Life

Depreciation in Year 3 = [23,000 - 3,000 - 10,000] / 4

Depreciation in Year 3 = 10,000 / 4

Depreciation in Year 3 = BD 2,500

Now,

As the present worth is low in Method B, so Method B should be used.

Bryan Inc. produces a specialty top-quality juice machine. The product, the JM50, requires four processes to be completed. Specifically, these processes are exterior construction, pulp filter insertion, painting, and packaging. Each process is performed at separate workstations with different completion rates: Exterior construction can manufacture 100,000 juicer exteriors per day. Pulp filter insertion can install 25,000 filters every 6 hours. Painting can decorate 3,000 juicers every half hour. Packaging can package 5,000 juicers per hour. The plant operates 24/7, 24 hours a day every day of the week. How many JM50 machines can Bryan Inc. manufacture per month (assume an average 30-day month)

Answers

Answer:

3,000,000 juicers

Explanation:

Maximum numbers per workstation in 30 days:

Exterior construction = 100,000*30 = 3,000,000

Pulp filter = 25,000*24/6*30 = 3,000,000

Painting = 3,000*24/0.5*30 = 4,320,000

Packaging = 5,000*24*30 = 3,600,000.

The lowest of the numbers above is 3,120,000 and that means that Bryan inc. can manufacture 3,000,000 juicers.

Distance Is this not 2? I got 2 and it was wrong Read the story and answer the questions with full sentences.Whatever hour you woke there was a door shutting. From room to room they went, hand in hand, lifting here, opening there, making surea ghostly couple.Here we left it, she said. And he added, Oh, but here too! Its upstairs, she murmured. And in the garden, he whispered Quietly, they said, or we shall wake them.But it wasnt that you woke us. Oh, no.Theyre looking for it; theyre drawing the curtain, one might say, and so read on a page or two. Now theyve found it, one would be certain, stopping the pencil on the margin. And then, tired of reading, one might rise and see for oneself, the house all empty, the doors standing open, only the wood pigeons bubbling with content and the hum of the threshing machine sounding from the farm.What did I come in here for? What did I want to find? My hands were empty. Perhaps its upstairs then? The apples were in the loft. And so down again, the garden still as ever, only the book had slipped into the grass.But they had found it in the drawing room. Not that one could ever see them. The window panes reflected apples, reflected roses; all the leaves were green in the glass. If they moved in the drawing room, the apple only turned its yellow side.Yet, the moment after, if the door was opened, spread about the floor, hung upon the walls, pendant from the ceilingwhat? My hands were empty. The shadow of a thrush crossed the carpet; from the deepest wells of silence the wood pigeon drew its bubble of sound. Safe, safe, safe, the pulse of the house beat softly. The treasure buried; the room . . . the pulse stopped short. Oh, was that the buried treasure? A moment later the light had faded. Out in the garden then? But the trees spun darkness for a wandering beam of sun. So fine, so rare, coolly sunk beneath the surface the beam I sought always burnt behind the glass. Death was the glass; death was between us; coming to the woman first, hundreds of years ago, leaving the house, sealing all the windows; the rooms were darkened. He left it, left her, went North, went East, saw the stars turned in the Southern sky; sought the house, found it dropped beneath the Downs. Safe, safe, safe, the pulse of the house beat gladly. The Treasure yours.The wind roars up the avenue. Trees stoop and bend this way and that. Moonbeams splash and spill wildly in the rain. But the beam of the lamp falls straight from the window. The candle burns stiff and still. Wandering through the house, opening the windows, whispering not to wake us, the ghostly couple seek their joy. Here we slept, she says. And he adds, Kisses without number. Waking in the morning Silver between the trees Upstairs In the garden When summer came In winter snowtime The doors go shutting far in the distance, gently knocking like the pulse of a heart.Nearer they come; cease at the doorway. The wind falls, the rain slides silver down the glass. Our eyes darken; we hear no steps beside us; we see no lady spread her ghostly cloak. His hands shield the lantern. Look, he breathes. Sound asleep. Love upon their lips.Stooping, holding their silver lamp above us, long they look and deeply. Long they pause. The wind drives straightly; the flame stoops slightly. Wild beams of moonlight cross both floor and wall, and, meeting, stain the faces bent; the faces pondering; the faces that search the sleepers and seek their hidden joy.Safe, safe, safe, the heart of the house beats proudly. Long years he sighs. Again you found me. Here, she murmurs, sleeping; in the garden reading; laughing, rolling apples in the loft.
