Answer:
b. GDP that has been corrected for inflation
Explanation:
Real gross domestic product (GDP) can be described as a macroeconomic measure that has been adjusted for inflation in order to show the value of goods and services produced in an economy in a particular.
Real GDP is expressed in base-year prices and this is the reason it is usually refereed to as constant dollar GDP, constant price GDP or inflation-corrected GDP because it adjusts for changes in prices due to inflation.
Therefore, the correct option is b. GDP that has been corrected for inflation.
Note that Real GDP is different nominal GDP. Unlike the real GDP, Nominal GDP refers to GDP that is evaluated at current market prices without adjuting or correcting for changes in prices due to inflation.
, a doctor from the local hospital, is a friend of Fran, the owner of a candy store. Every day, Ed spends about five minutes in Fran’s candy store during his breaks, looking at the candy and usually buying one or two candy bars. One afternoon Ed goes into Fran’s store, looks at the candy and picks up a $1 candy bar. Fran is busy talking and checking out another customer so to avoid interrupting, Ed merely waves the candy bar at Fran without saying a word as he is walking toward the door. Fran smiles but keeps talking to the customer as Ed walks out. Based upon the information given, as well as making your own assumptions...do Ed and Fran have a contract? If so, what type of contract is it? Is it enforceable? Why or why not.
Answer:
- Yes,
- Bilateral, Implied contract which is enforceable.
Explanation:
Note, both parties consented to a contract even though it was an informal setting. Remember, certain gestures were used by Ed to show contract acceptance, There's also valid consideration since the value of the exchange is known; which is a candy bar for $1.
Fran thus understands that Ed will pay for the candy later since he saw the sign, this also makes it a bilateral contract (between two parties only). The contract is also enforceable since it is legal to sell candies.

If two different fuel sources (e.g., coal and natural gas) are perfect substitutes in the long-run production of energy. How will a profit maximizing firm choose between these two inputs
Answer:
The firm would choose the input with the lower cost.
Explanation:
Perfect subsituites are goods that can be used in place of one another. If the price of one good rises, the demand for the other good increases.
A profit maximising firm would aim to use the cheapest input available, so in the long run when all inputs of production are variable, the firm would choose the less expensive input.

Explanation:
Here is the complete question:
Beth Caldwell is in the payroll accounting department of Acerill Films. An independent contractor of the company requests that Social Security and Medicare taxes be withheld from future compensation. What advice should Beth offer?(You may select more than one answer).
a. The independent contractor should complete Form W-4 to authorize FICA tax withholding.
b. These would not be withheld by the company.
c. As an independent contractor they would be responsible for their own payments.
An independent contractor is someone that has his or her won personal business but still does work for other organizations or businesses. Is should be noted that independent contractors should not be considered to be part of the workers in the organization they work for.
Beth Caldwell should not take taxes out of the payments that will be paid to the person because he is responsible for his or her won payment and normally, they pay the self employment tax which is just like paying for social security and Medicare taxes.
Preferred stock valuation TXS Manufacturing has an outstanding preferred stock issue with a par value of $68 per share. The preferred shares pay dividends annually at a rate of 9%. a. What is the annual dividend on TXS preferred stock? b. If investors require a return of 4% on this stock and the next dividend is payable one year from now, what is the price of TXS preferred stock? c. Suppose that TXS has not paid dividends on its preferred shares in the past two years, but investors believe that it will start paying dividends again in one year. What is the value of TXS preferred stock if it is cumulative and if investors require a(n) 4% rate of return?
Answer:
a. Annual dividend on TXS preferred stock is $6.12 per share.
b. The price of TXS preferred stock is $153 per share.
c. The value of TXS preferred stock if it is cumulative and if investors require a(n) 4% rate of return is $164.77 per share.
Explanation:
These can be calculated as follows:
a. What is the annual dividend on TXS preferred stock?
The formula for calculating the annual dividend on preferred stock is given as follows:
Annual dividend on preferred stock = Par value of preferred stock * annual dividend rate
Since we have the following for TXS:
Par value of preferred stock = $68 per share
Annual dividend rate = 9%
Therefore, we have:
Annual dividend on preferred stock = $68 * 9% = $6.12 per share
Therefore, annual dividend on TXS preferred stock is $6.12 per share.
b. If investors require a return of 4% on this stock and the next dividend is payable one year from now, what is the price of TXS preferred stock?
The formula for calculating the price of preferred stock is given as follows:
Price of preferred stock = Dividend per share / Preferred stock required rate of return
Since for TXS, we have
Dividend per share = $6.12 per share
Preferred stock required rate of return = 4%, or 0.04
Therefore, we have:
Price of preferred stock = $6.12 / 0.04 = $153 per share
Therefore, the price of TXS preferred stock is $153 per share.
c. Suppose that TXS has not paid dividends on its preferred shares in the past two years, but investors believe that it will start paying dividends again in one year. What is the value of TXS preferred stock if it is cumulative and if investors require a(n) 4% rate of return?
Cumulative preferred stock implies that unpaid previous dividends can be carried forward as arrears to when the dividend is paid.
Since TXS has not paid dividends on its cumulative preferred shares in the past two years, but will start paying dividends again in one year implies that preferred stockholders will receive the dividends in arrears of one year together with the next dividend payment.
Based on this, we have
TXS preferred stock value = PV of two dividends + Preferred stock price
PV of two dividends = Present value of two dividends in arrears to paid now = M / (1 + r)^n
Where,
M = 2 * Annual dividend on TXS preferred stock = 2 * $6.12 = $12.24
r = 4%, or 0.04
n = 1 year
Therefore, we have:
PV of two dividends = $12.24 / (1 + 0.04)^1 = $11.77
Since from part b. preferred stock price is $153 per share, we therefore have:
TXS preferred stock value = $11.77 + 153 = $164.77 per share
Therefore, the value of TXS preferred stock if it is cumulative and if investors require a(n) 4% rate of return is $164.77 per share.
As per the question, the TXS company has outstanding preferred stock issues with a value that is parred USD 68 per share and prefers to pay the dividend at an annual rate of 9%.
Thus the yearly dividend of the TXS on preferred stock is a. total dividend on TXS stock is of $6.12 per share. If the investors gained four percent on this stock and next is made payable 1 year from now, then the prices of TXS stock will be $153/share. If the TXS is not being paid then the preferred share for the two-year period is total and if investors require at 4% rate of return which is at $164.77 per share.Learn more about the TXS Manufacturing has an outstanding.

Bay City uses the purchases method to account for supplies. At the beginning of the year the City had no supplies on hand. During the year the City purchased $600,000 of supplies for use by activities accounted for in the General Fund. The City used $400,000 of those supplies during the year. Assuming that the city maintains its books and records in a manner that facilitates the preparation of the fund financial statements, at fiscal year-end the appropriate account balances related to supplies expenditures and supplies inventory would be
Answer:
Supplies Expenditure $600,000
Supplies Inventory $200,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the appropriate account balances related to supplies expenditures and supplies inventory :
Supplies Expenditure will be $600,000 because during the year purchased of $600,000 supplies were made.
Therefore Supplies Expenditure will be $600,000
Supplies Inventory will be:
Purchased supplies $600,000
Less used supplies $400,000
Balance =$200,000
Therefore Supplies Inventory will be $200,000
A group of investors has formed SandInn Corporation to purchase a small hotel. The price is $200,000 for the land and $800,000 for the hotel building. If the purchase takes place in June, com- pute the MACRS depreciation for the first three calendar years. Then assume the hotel is sold in June of the fourth year, and compute the MACRS depreciation in that year also.
Answer:
1. Land is not to be depreciated under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) depreciation schedule.
The Building however will be depreciated over a period of 39 years as it is considered an place of business and not a residential property.
The depreciation for such assets is 1.3% in year 1 and 40, and 2.6% for the years in-between.
Year 1 = 1.3% * 800,000
= $10,400
Year 2 = 2.6% * 800,000
= $20,800
Year 3 = 2.6% * 800,000
= $20,800
The total for the first 3 years is,
= 10,400 + 20,800 + 20,800
= $52,000
2. Depreciation in Year 4
= 800,000 * 2.6%
= $20,800
Williamson Industries has $7 billion in sales and $2 billion in fixed assets. Currently, the company's fixed assets are operating at 90% of capacity. What level of sales could Williamson Industries have obtained if it had been operating at full capacity
Answer: Williamson industries would have obtained $7.78 billion in sales
Explanation: According to the question, the company is having a total of $2 billion in fixed assets. The fixed assets are currently operating at 90% (0.9) of its total capacity. At his level, the company is able to achieve a sales figure of $7 billion. The implication is as follows;
Fixed assets (at 100%) = 2 billion
Fixed assets (at 90%) = 2 * 0.9
Fixed assets (at 90%) = 1.8
If the company utilizes $1.8 billion to achieve a $7 billion sales figure, then operating at full capacity (100%) would yield the following;
7/x = 90/100
(Where x equals sales level at 100% capacity)
7/x = 0.9
Cross multiply
x = 7/0.9
x = 7.7777...
x ≈ 7.78
Therefore, if Williamson Industries had been operating at full capacity, it would have obtained a sales level of $7.78 billion

You want to go to grad school 3 years from now, and you can save $5,000 per year, beginning one year from today. You plan to deposit the funds in a mutual fund which you expect to return 9% per year. Under these conditions, how much will you have just after you make the 3rd deposit, 3 years from now
Answer:
$16,390.50
Explanation:
For computing the amount after you make the 3rd deposit we need to use the future value formula i.e to be shown in the attachment
Provided that,
Present value = $0
Rate of interest = 9%
NPER = 3 years
PMT = $5,000
The formula is shown below:
= -FV(Rate;NPER;PMT;PV;type)
So, after applying the above formula, the future value is $16,390.50

Agency conflicts between managers and shareholders An agency relationship can degenerate into an agency conflict when an agent acts in a manner that is not in the best interest of his or her principal. In business, these conflicts most frequently involve the enrichment of the firm's executives or managers (in the form of money and perquisites or power and prestige) at the expense of the shareholders. This usurping of shareholder wealth is most likely to occur when shareholders do not have sufficient information about the decisions and actions being made by the firm's management. Consider the following scenario and determine whether an agency conflict exists: Daniel owns Daniel's Tantalizing Tees, a T-shirt shop in a small college town in Kansas. With a staff of three part-time employees, Daniel operates the business in accordance with his personal goals, dreams, and capabilities.
Does Daniel have an agency conflict to deal with?
A. No; by having part-time, as opposed to full-time, employees, Daniel is prevented from experiencing an agency conflict.
B. Yes; as both the owner and operator of Daniel's Tantalizing Tees, Daniel has created the necessary agency relationship through which an agency conflict can exist.
C. No; as both the owner and operator of Daniel's Tantalizing Tees, Daniel has not created the necessary agency relationship through which an agency conflict can exist.
D. Yes; there is always an inherent conflict of interest between owners and operators (managers). Consider the following scenario and determine whether an agency conflict exists: Five years ago, Li created a plant-care business that grew, stocked, and maintained fresh plants in office buildings throughout Denver. Over time, The Green Zone Inc. (TGZ) has grown from a proprietorship into a corporation, now reaching far beyond Denver. To finance and support this growth, TGZ issued shares that were sold to TGZ employees, Li's family members, and selected outsiders. Li is TGZ's chairman of the board of directors and CEO, but he is no longer the largest shareholder. At the latest annual meeting, two mutually exclusive proposals were placed on the ballot for discussion and vote. The first was put forth by Li and TGZ's management team, and the second was proposed by a small group of other shareholders. Both groups are adamantly opposed to the other group's proposal, even though both proposals would likely have the same effect on TGZ's value and riskiness.
Does an agency conflict exist between TGZ's management and the small group of opposing shareholders?
A. Yes; an agency relationship exists, and an agency relationship always gives rise to agency conflicts, regardless of the actual behavior of the participants.
B. Yes; any conflict or disagreement between the firm's managers and its shareholders constitutes an agency conflict.
C. No; although an agency relationship exists between TGZ's management-including Li as TGZ's chairman and CEO and the firm's shareholders-there is no agency conflict, because no expropriation or wasting of the shareholders' wealth has occurred.
D. No; Li was the original owner of TGZ, so he would always be sensitive to the concerns of the firm's current owners (shareholders) and would not engage in an agency conflict. For the past 40 years, companies have attempted to attract, retain, and encourage managers by developing attractive compensation packages. These compensation packages have also been intended to reduce potential agency conflicts between these managers and the firm's shareholders. In the best interest of shareholders, compensation packages should be structured in a way such that managers have an incentive to maximize the____value of the company's common stock price. Great Fortunes Baking Company's stockholders are mostly individual investors, and there is relatively little institutional ownership. If several pension and mutual funds were to take large positions in Great Fortunes Baking Company's stock, direct shareholder intervention would be likely to motivate the firm's management. Katz Investment Group's stock price is currently trading at $20 per share. The consensus among market analysts is that the stock should trade for $27.5 per share, given the amount, timing, and riskiness of the company's dividends. Is Katz Investment Group more or less likely to receive a hostile takeover bid?
1. Less likely
2. More likely
Answer:
1. C. No; as both the owner and operator of Daniel's Tantalizing Tees, Daniel has not created the necessary agency relationship through which an agency conflict can exist.
For an agency problem to exist, the owners and the managers must be two different sets of people. If they are the same person, then practically speaking, they cannot usurp their own wealth.
2. C. No; although an agency relationship exists between TGZ's management-including Li as TGZ's chairman and CEO and the firm's shareholders-there is no agency conflict, because no expropriation or wasting of the shareholders' wealth has occurred.
Indeed there is an Agency relationship in effect because some shareholders are not in management. However, it cannot be said that there is a agency conflict because there is no evidence shown that shareholder wealth is being expropriated.
3. Intrinsic
The Intrinsic value of a stock is the value that an investor believes the stock is worth. A Manager should therefore get incentives that will inspire them to take investor perception of stock high. When this happens it increases shareholder wealth primarily through capital gain.
4 ... direct shareholder intervention would be more likely to motivate the firm's management.
Institutional Investors such as Pension and Mutual funds usually have more say in a company as they represent several shareholders and have expertise in the field. Should they get involved, their direct intervention would motivate the firm's management.
5. More likely
If investors believe that the stock should be trading for higher than it actually is, this is incentive to try to lay their hands on the stock to take advantage of this undervaluation. They would be able to offer the current shareholders more money than what it is currently worth which will most likely get them the shares they want. This is classified as a Hostile takeover.
A business received an offer from an exporter for 10,000 units of product at $13.50 per unit. The acceptance of the offer will not affect normal production or domestic sales prices. The following data are available: Domestic unit sales price $21 Unit manufacturing costs: Variable 12 Fixed 5 What is the amount of the gain or loss from acceptance of the offer
Answer:
Effect on income= $15,000 increase
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A business received an offer from an exporter for 10,000 units for $13.50 per unit.
Unit manufacturing costs:
Variable 12
Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will not take into account the fixed costs.
Effect on income= number of units*unitary contribution margin
Effect on income= 10,000*(13.5 - 12)
Effect on income= $15,000 increase

Fill in the following table by calculating the official unemployment rate and the U-4 measure of labor underutilization.
9.05 9.05
9.64 9.64
9.70 9.70
9.95 9.95
13.91 13.91
14.60 14.60
The official unemployment rate and the U-4 measure of labor underutilization are two different measures of joblessness in the economy.
Excluding discouraged workers from the official unemployment rate may cause the official rate to (overstate/understate) the true extent of underemployment.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the official unemployment rate is shown below:
Official unemployment rate is
= Unemployed workers ÷ (Unemployed + employed) × 100
= 13,863,000 ÷ (13,863,000 + 139,323,000) × 100
= 9.05%
Now for the U-4 is
= (Unemployed workers + discouraged workers) ÷ (Unemployed + employed + discouraged workers) × 100
= (13,863,000 + $993,000) ÷ (13,863,000 + 139,323,000 + $993,000) × 100
= 9.64%
Therefore for exclduing the discouraged workers it may cause the offical rate to understate the underemployment true extent
Roman Mfg.'s July production involved actual direct labor costs of $41,514 for 3,400 direct labor hours. The budget for the July level of production called for 3,500 direct labor hours at $12.20 per hour, using a standard cost system.
1. Roman's labor rate variance for July is ____________
2. Roman's labor efficiency variance for July is _______________
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Roman Mfg.'s July production involved actual direct labor costs of $41,514 for 3,400 direct labor hours. The budget for the July level of production called for 3,500 direct labor hours at $12.20 per hour.
To calculate the direct labor efficiency and rate variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (3,500 - 3,400)*12.2
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $1,220 favorable
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Actual rate= 41,514/3,400= $12.21
Direct labor rate variance= (12.20 - 12.21)*3,400
Direct labor rate variance= $34 unfavorable
2. (20 points) A couple plans to purchase a home for $320,000. Property taxes are expected to be $1,200 per year while insurance premiums are estimated to be $1400 per year. Annual repair and maintenance are estimated at $1,950. An alternative is to rent a house of about the same size for $2,150 per month [approximate using $25,800 per year]. If an 8.0% return before-taxes is the couple's minimum rate of return, what must the resale value be 10 years from today for the cost of ownership to equal the cost of renting
Answer:
$371,200
Explanation:
For the computation of annual price escalation first we need to follow some steps which are shown below:-
Future value of payment if the property purchased is
= Property taxes + Insurance premium + Annual repair and maintenance
= $1,200 + $1,400 + $1,950
= $4,550
Future value = (1 + K)^n
= (1 + 0.08)^10
= 2.158924997
or
= 2.16
Future value of annuity factor = (1 + K)^n -1 ÷ K
= ((1 + 0.08)^10 - 1) ÷ 0.08
= 1.158924997
÷ 0.08
= 14.487
Future value of the cost of property = Purchase amount of a home × Future value
= $320,000 × 2.16
= $691,200
Future value of recurring cost = Future value of payment if property purchased × Future value of annuity factor
= $4,550 × 14.487
= $65,915.85
Total value of payment = Future value of the cost of property + Future value of recurring cost
= $691,200
+ $65,915.85
= $75,7115.85
Future value of the payment in property taken on rent
The Total value of the payment in 10 year when the property taken on rent = Amount using per year × Future value of annuity factor
= $25,800 × 14.487
= $373,764.6
The amount incurred in both the methods will be the same if the property can be sold = Total value of payment - Total value of the payment in 10 year when the property was taken on rent
= $75,7115.85 - $373,764.6 0
= 383351.25
finally,
The annual price escalation = Future value of the cost of the property - Purchase amount of home
= $691,200 - $320,000
= $371,200
Universal Exports is expected to pay the following dividends over the next four years: $8, $4, $2, and $2. Afterwards the company is not expected to pay anything ever again. If the required return is 15 percent, what is the maximum that you would be willing to pay for a stock of Universal today
Answer:
Maximum price to be paid for the stock = $12.43
Explanation:
The Dividend Valuation Model is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the worth of an asset is the sum of the present values of its future cash flows discounted at the required rate of return.
Hence the value of the stock would be the present value of its future dividend discounted at 15%
Year PV of dividend
1 8 ×1.15^(-1)
2 4 × 1.15^(-2)
3. 2 × 1.15^(-3)
4 2 × 1.15^(-4)
PV of dividend = (8 ×1.15^-1) + (4 × 1.15^-2) + (2 × 1.15^ -3) + (2× 1.15^-4) = 12.439
Maximum price to be paid for the stock = $12.43
Economists believe that many or even most mergers (or acquisitions) between two purely vertically related firms will not have negative impacts on consumers and may benefit consumers. Other than economies of scale or scope that is also present with horizontal mergers, what might explain this often-favorable view of vertical mergers
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
Vertical merger is a business term, that describes the acquisition of one or more firms by another firm, in which the firms involved are not in direct competition.
In other words, it is a situation where by, a firm acquires a supplier or distributor. A vertical merger, is considered to result to reduced cost and increment in productivity of the firm that acquires other firm.
Benefits of Vertical Merger.
1. Operational Improvements: one of the benefits vertical mergers, is in operational improvements, such that, as the reduction in cost, the delay in delivery of supplies will be greatly reduced or outrightly eliminated. It could also created avenue or marketing opportunity in supplying materials to competitors or other firms
2. Financial Synergies: this implies that, vertical merger could increase the company access to capital, funds, or credit facility from banks, which can be used in smooth running of the firm.
3. Management Efficiencies: vertical merger can leads to reduction in the cost and running of executives, such that, the inefficient personnels are removed and at the same time, increase the overall operations and commun of the excutives.
Blossom Distribution Co. has determined its December 31, 2020 inventory on a LIFO basis at $962000. Information pertaining to that inventory follows: Estimated selling price $1000000 Estimated cost of disposal 38000 Normal profit margin 118000 Current replacement cost 882000 Blossom records losses that result from applying the lower-of-cost-or-market rule. At December 31, 2020, the loss that Blossom should recognize is
Answer:
The answer is $118,000
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Now
The selling price estimated is = $1,000,000
Less: Cost of disposal = $38,000
Less: Normal profit margin = $118,000
The net realizable value = $844,000
The market value of inventory is lesser of Net realizable value
Thus
The net realizable value = $844,000
The cost of replacement = $225,000
The Market value of inventory greater of the above) = $844,000
Inventory is valued at cost or market value which ever is low
Then
Cost = $962,000
The market value = $844,000
Hence
The value of Inventory (lesser of the above) = $844,000.
Now,
The loss = $962,000 - $844,000
= $118,000
Therefore, At December 31, 2020, the loss that Blossom should recognize is $118,000
