b. A Venezuelan-style economic collapse would be less likely in a mixed economy like the United States because
a. corruption is less likely when economic power is more diffused.
b. private industry has strong financial incentives to produce efficiently.
c. mixed economies like the United States usually have a more equal distribution of income.
d. inflation is always low in a mixed economy.
Answer:
a. corruption is less likely when economic power is more diffused. b. private industry has strong financial incentives to produce efficiently.Explanation:
Venezuela is a planned / command economy which means that the government directs production of goods and services in the country. This can lead to corruption as those in government would become quite powerful and engage in activities that would make them richer at the expense of the nation because they will have the required access to do so.
As the government directs most things, there is less private industry and competition. With a lack of competition, companies will not see the need to compete and would end up being inefficient.
These are what happened in Venezuela.

High-Low Method:
February 17,500 5,700
July 14,500 4,920
Difference 3,000 780
Variable cost per unit = $780/3,000 = $0.26
Total variable cost at February figures = $4,550 (17,500 * $0.26)
Total fixed costs at February figures = $1,150 ($5,700 - $4,550)
Operating cost equation = $0.26x + $1,150
Operating cost at a volume of 16,000 = $1,150 + $0.26 * 16,000
= $1,150 + 4,160
= $5,310
Sheffield Corp. assigned $1601000 of accounts receivable to Pharoah Company as security for a loan of $1344000. Pharoah charged a 2% commission on the amount of the loan; the interest rate on the note was 9%. During the first month, Sheffield collected $404000 on assigned accounts after deducting $1480 of discounts. Sheffield accepted returns worth $5400 and wrote off assigned accounts totaling $11910. The amount of cash Sheffield received from Pharoah at the time of the assignment was

Ann lives in Princeton, New Jersey, and commutes by train each day to her job in New York City (20 round trips per month). When the price of a round trip goes up from $10 to $20, she responds by consuming exactly the same number of trips as before, while spending $200 per month less on restaurant meals. Does the fact that her quantity of train travel is completely unresponsive to the price increase imply that Ann is not a rational consumer

National defense is a good that is non excludable and nonrival in consumption. Suppose that, instead of national defense being paid with tax dollars, national defense is paid by voluntary contributions from (potentially) all individuals within Latvia.
Alan, who is a Latvian citizen, must decide whether he wants to contribute to the national defense budget Further, suppose that there are a total of 10 citizens, including Alan. For the optimal amount of safety, each citizen should pay $10. Every $1 contributed (by anyone) to the national defense, leads to increased security, which each person values at $0.25. This means that every dollar spent on defense is worth $2.50 to Latvia as a whole.
Suppose that, instead of relying on voluntary contributions, the government simply levies a tax of $10 on each person to pay for national defense. How much better or worse off would Alan be if everyone (including himself) were taxed $10 instead of contributing voluntarily?
If Alan is worse off, be sure to put a negative sign in front of the number.
Answer:
Alan is better off by $15
Explanation:
the number of citizens in latvia = 10
if citizens were levied $10 each, total amount
= 10*10
=$100
each persons valuation = 100*0.25
= $25
$25 is also Alans valuation sice he is a part of this population.
since he contribited $10, his net gain would be
$25.00 - $10.00
= $15.00
Alan is better of by $15 in the tax system.

Two important group outcomes or consequences of the interactive
process that unfolds between a leader, follower, and the situation
include:
Answer:
task performance and group maintenance.
Explanation:
Leadership can be defined as a process which typically involves motivating, encouraging and inspiring employees working under an individual to be innovative and create positive changes that will foster growth and enhance the success of a business firm or company in the future.
This ultimately implies that, beyond an individual possessing the traits or qualities of a leader, leadership in itself is a process that revolves around the activities or happenings between the leader and those who he or she is leading, which are the followers. Thus, leadership is simply a continuous process and it's transactional in nature because it occurs between a leader and the followers.
A leader can be defined as an individual who is saddled with the responsibility of controlling, managing and maintaining a group of people under him or her.
Some types of power expressed by leaders are referent power, coercive power, etc.
Hence, two important group outcomes or consequences of the interactive process that unfolds between a leader, follower, and the situation include task performance and group maintenance.
Leaders are saddled with the responsibility of ensuring that the follower performs his or her duties or tasks as stated in the contract and to foster cohesion among the various team members.

Assume that a company cannot determine the market value of equipment acquired by reference to a similar purchase for cash. Explain how the company determines the cost of equipment purchased by exchanging it for each of the following 3 items: Bonds having an established market price. Bonds that do not have an established market price. Common stock not having an established market price. Similar equipment having a determinable market value.
Solution :
Let us suppose that a company cannot predict the market value of an equipment that acquired by the reference to the similar purchase for the cash. Thus the company finds cost of purchased of the equipment by exchanging :
-- the market price of the bonds when they have an established price in the market.
-- the market price of the bonds when the common stocks does not have a established market price.
-- market price of the equipment when the similar kind of an equipment have a determinable value in the market.

Explanation:
Mcewan Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. The company based its predetermined overhead rate for the current year on 48,000 direct labor-hours, total fixed manufacturing overhead cost of $307,200, and a variable manufacturing overhead rate of $2.80 per direct labor-hour. Job X941, which was for 50 units of a custom product, was recently completed. The job cost sheet for the job contained the following data:
Total direct labor-hours 300
Direct materials $600
Direct labor cost $6,400
Required:
Calculate the selling price for Job X941 if the company marks up its unit product costs by 20%.
Answer:
$234.24 per unit
Explanation:
The computation of the selling price for Job X941 is shown below:
But before that following calculations need to be determined
The Predetermined overhead rate is
= Variable overhead per DLH + Fixed overhead per DLH
= $2.80 + ($307,200 ÷ 48,000)
= $9.2 per DLH
Now the Total cost of Job X941 is
= Direct materials + Direct labor + Overhead applied
= $600 + $6,400 + (300 × $10)
= $9,760
And, finally
The Selling price per unit of Job X941 is
= Unit product costs × 120%
= ($9,760 ÷ 50) × 120%
= $234.24 per unit
Johnson and Gomez, Inc. is a small firm involved in the production and sale of electronic business products. The company is well known for its attention to quality and innovation.
During the past 15 months, a new product has been under development that allows users improved access to e-mail and video images. Johnson and Gomez code named the product the Wireless Wizard and has been quietly designing two models: Basic and Enhanced. Development costs have amounted to $183,000 and $264,000, respectively. The total market demand for each model is expected to be 41,000 units, and management anticipates being able to obtain the following market shares: Basic, 20 percent; Enhanced, 15 percent. Forecasted data follow.
Basic Enhanced
Projected Selling Price $350.00 $450.00
Per-unit productions costs:
Direct material 43.00 69.00
Direct labor 23.00 31.00
Variable overhead 37.00 49.00
Marketing and advertising (fixed but avoidable) 196,000 305,000
Sales commissions* 15% 10%
*Computed on the basis of sales dollars.
Since the start of development work on the Wireless Wizard, advances in technology have altered the market somewhat, and management now believes that the company can introduce only one of the two models. Consultants confirmed this fact not too long ago, with Johnson and Gomez paying $34,600 for an in-depth market study. Sales salaries (excluding commission) will be $86,000 no matter which product is sold. The marketing and advertising costs indicated for each product are incurred only if that product is sold. Other fixed overhead is expected to be the same, regardless of which product is introduced.
Required:
1. Compute the unit contribution margin for both models. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
2. Which of the following should be ignored in making the product-introduction decision? (You may select more than one answer.)
a. Development costs
b. Market study
c. Marketing and Advertising
d. Fixed manufacturing overhead
e. Variable manufacturing overhead

If a firm offers a service that is valuable, rare, and costly to imitate, but a substitute exists for the service, the firm will: a. achieve competitive parity. b. have a competitive disadvantage. c. have a temporary competitive advantage. d. gain a sustainable competitive advantage.
Answer:
c. have a temporary competitive advantage
Explanation:
In this case, it is correct to say that the company has a temporary competitive advantage, as there is a substitute for its valuable, rare and expensive service to imitate.
The company gained a competitive advantage in the market for being the only one to offer that service, which by the attributes confer barriers of entry for new competitors, but when there is a substitute for the service and that have the same characteristics, it is correct to say that the company it will lose its competitive advantage in a matter of time, because with more competitors in the market it is common for there to be some loss of market share, so in this case it is ideal for the company to adapt and seek new attributes to innovate, generate more value for consumers and so seek a differential that will guarantee you a higher position in the market.
ohn joined the military during his senior year in high school with a deferred reporting date.

Answer: a. Boot camp is the military's version of employee orientation.
Explanation:
To become an employee in a company, it is standard practice for the employer to give the employee an orientation so that they may be able to perform better at their jobs because they would know what is expected of them and how to go about achieving this.
This is the same for the military. When they send recruits to boot camps, they are doing their version of employee orientation because the recruit will learn what Uncle Sam expects from them and how they are to accomplish these tasks.

Complete the statements below regarding how this information will be reported by the corporations and Barbara for the current year.
Since C corporations are separate taxable entities, Cassowary Corporation will report the operating income and tax-exempt income. An S corporation is a tax reporting entity. Therefore, Barbara will report ordinary business income of $________ and tax-exempt interest income of $________ .
Answer:
$ 48,000
$3,200
Explanation:
Since C corporations are separate taxable entities, Cassowary Corporation will report the operating income and tax-exempt income. An S corporation is a tax reporting entity. Therefore, Barbara will report ordinary business income of $ 48,000 and tax-exempt $ 3,200.
Reason -
Business income = 120,000×40%
= [tex]120,000.\frac{40}{100}[/tex]
= $48,000
⇒Business income = $48,000
Tax-exempt = 8,000×40%
= [tex]8,000.\frac{40}{100}[/tex]
= $3,200
⇒Tax-exempt = $3,200

Crowding-out is the notion that:_________
a. Since tax revenues vary directly with GDP, a rise in the level of GDP will increase the budget surplus and limit expansion
b. Deficit financing will increase the demand for money, increase the interest rate, and reduce the level of investment spending in the economy
c. The standardized budget is the best indicator of whether a budget deficit crowds out investment
d. The actual budget is the best indicator of whether a budget deficit crowds out saving
Answer:
B
Explanation:
The theory of crowding out is that as government spending and borrowing increases, the demand for money would increase. This would lead to an increase in interest rate. As a result, the level of investment spending would decline. The theory submits that increased government spending would drive down private spending
