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

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.

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!
Skolits Corp. issued 20-year bonds 2 years ago at a coupon rate of 8.9 percent. The bonds make semiannual payments. If these bonds currently sell for 110 percent of par value, what is the YTM
Answer:
The YTM is 7.85%
Explanation:
Since 20 year bonds were issued 2 years ago,
Time to Maturity = 18 years
Coupon Rate = 8.9%
Lets assume that the par value of the bond is $100
The bonds make semi-annual payments,
Therefore, number of periods = 18 × 2 = 36
Semi-annual Coupon =( 8.9% × 100 ) / 2 = $4.45
Current Value of Bond = 110% of par value = 1.1 × 100 = $110
YTM is the discount rate which makes the present value of all the future cash flows equal to the current value of the bond, that is $110 , which means
110 = [tex]4.45/(1+r)^1[/tex] + [tex]4.45/(1+r)^2[/tex] + ... + [tex]4.45/(1+r)^{35[/tex] + [tex]104.45/(1+ r)^{36[/tex]
where, r is YTM/2
r = 3.927%
Therefore, YTM = 3.927 × 2 = 7.85%
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)

By deciding to expand your operations and construct a new pipeline across the state of Virginia, the CEO is adding to the country's GDP
2. Reducing unemployment: Expanding operations and construct a new pipeline across the state of Virginia, the CEO will create new employments because more hands will be needed for the expansion.
C. increasing the investment part of GDP. The components of GDP are Consumers' consumption, firms' investment, government expenditure, exports and imports. The expansion and the new investment (construction new pipeline) will increase the firms' investment component or variable.
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

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.

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.

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.
