Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing olives in the two countries, you can tell that Spain has a comparative advantage in the production of olives and Germany has a comparative advantage in the production of rye.

Germany is able to produce more Rye if it is not producing olives meaning that they are more efficient in this giving them the comparative Advantage.

Spain is able to produce 2x more Olives than Germany for the same amount of Rye so they are more efficient in this manner.

2. Spain can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than 5 bushels of rye for each crate of olives it exports to Germany.

If Spain can get more bushels per Olives than it can produce on it's own then they will make a gain.

3. Similarly, Germany can gain from trade as long as it receives more than ⅒ or 0.1 crate of olives for each bushel of rye it exports to Spain.

Similarly if Germany can get more crates of Olives per Rye than it can produce then it makes a gain. For each Bushel of Rye, Germany can create 0.1 crate of olives. Should they get more than this 0.1 crate then they make a gain.

4. The amount of Rye being exchanged for Olives should be between 5 and 10 bushels.

a. 9 bushels of rye per crate of olives.

c. 8 bushels of rye per crate of olives

At both 8 and 9 bushels of Rye per Olive Crate Germany would be getting more Rye per crate of olive than they can produce on their own and similarly at both 8 and 9 bushes of Rye for olives, Spain would getting more bushels than they could have gotten if they gave up olives to produce Rye.

Answer:

(a) Determine the total and per-unit costs of manufacturing the Gas Cooker and Charcoal Smoker for the month, assuming all manufacturing overhead is assigned on the basis of direct labor dollars.

Gas Cooker:

total cost = $20,000 + $20,000 + $147,618 = $187,618

cost per unit = $187.62

Charcoal Smoker

total cost = $20,000 + $27,000 + $199,284 = $246,284

cost per unit = $61.57

(b) Determine the total and per-unit costs of manufacturing the Gas Cooker and Charcoal Smoker for the month, assuming manufacturing overhead is assigned using activity-based costing.

Gas Cooker:

total cost = $20,000 + $20,000 + $48,000 + $13,520 + $36,000 = $137,520

cost per unit = $137.52

Charcoal Smoker

total cost = $100,000 + $27,000 + $240,000 + $3,380 + $6,000 = $376,380

On December 31, 2014, Flint Corporation sold for $100,000 an old machine having an original cost of $180,000 and a book value of $80,000. The terms of the sale were as follows:
$20,000 down payment
$40,000 payable on December 31 each of the next two years
The agreement of sale made no mention of interest; however, 9% would be a fair rate for this type of transaction. What should be the amount of the notes receivable net of the unamortized discount on December 31, 2012 rounded to the nearest dollar? (The present value of an ordinary annuity of 1 at 9% for 2 years is 1.75911.)
a. $70,364
b. $90,364.
c. $80,000.
d. $140,728.

Answers

Answer:

a. $70,364

Explanation:

We must determine the present value of the notes receivable using the 9% discount rate.

PV of accounts receivable = $40,000 / 1.09 + $40,000 / 1.09² = $36,697.25 + $33,667.20 = $70,364.45

When a notes receivable is issued and carries no interests, you have to record the present value of the notes receivable in order to determine the amount that should be recorded as interest income in the future. In this case, interest income = $80,000 - $70,364 = $9,636

Classical economists contend that official measures of unemployment: Multiple Choice understate the problem due to the existence of discouraged workers. overstate the problem because most unemployment is voluntary. understate the problem due to involuntary part-time employment. overstate the problem because most unemployment is cyclical.

Answers

Answer: overstate the problem because most unemployment is voluntary.

Explanation:

Unemployment is a term that is used to refer to individuals who are looking for job but can not find a job.

Classical economists contend that official measures of unemployment

overstate the problem because most unemployment is voluntary.

According to the Classical economists, there is increase in employment because those seeking employment do not want to work for lower wages but will rather wait for high paying jobs and this therefore leads to overstating of the unemployment rate.

Answers

Answer:

The value of private savings plus public​ savings is $3,200

The value of the current account balance​ CA is $2,200

Explanation:

In order to calculate the value of private savings plus public​ savings we would have to make the following calculation:

Total saving = private saving+public saving

Total saving =GNP-Tax Collections​-Consumption+Tax Collections-Government Purchases

Total saving =$12,000-$1,200-$7,200+$1,200-$1,600

Total saving =$3,200

To calculate the value of the current account balance​ CA we would have to make the following calculation:

value of the current account balance​ CA=GNP-Consumption-Investment-Government Purchases

value of the current account balance​ CA= $12,000 - $7,200 -$1,000-$1,600

value of the current account balance​ CA= $2,200

has 10 percent coupon bonds on the market with 19 years to maturity. The bonds make semiannual payments and currently sell for 107.8 percent of par. What is the current yield on the bonds?

Answers

Answer:

4.62%

Explanation:

we need to calculate the yield to maturity of the bond:

YTM = [coupon + (face value - market value)/n] / [(face value + market value)/2]

coupon = $50face value = $1,000market value = $1,078n = 38 semiannual payments

YTM = [$50 + ($1,000 - $1,078)/38] / [($1,000 + $1,078)/2]

YTM = $47.95 / $1,039 = 4.615 ≈ 4.62%

The bid-ask spread exists because of _______________. A. market inefficiencies B. discontinuities in the markets C. the need for dealers to cover expenses and make a profit D. lack of trading in thin markets

Answers

Answer:

C. the need for dealers to cover expenses and make a profit

Explanation:

In the market for securities there are two pricing of securities.

The ask price is the price at which the buyer is willing to purchase a security.

The ask price or the offer price is price at which the seller of a security is willing to sell it. Ask price can be firm or negotiable.

Bid ask spread is the difference between the highest amount a buyer is willing to buy a security and the lowest price at which a seller is willing to sell it.

This spread exists because dealers need to cover expenses and make a profit

"In your opinion, how has social media affected customer service in a broad sense? Provide evidence that supports your opinion."

Answers

Explanation:

Social media directly impacted the relationship between consumer and company.

First, you need to consider how the internet and social media are widely used by thousands of people around the world as a way to connect with others and exchange information.

Realizing this phenomenon, companies decided to use social media as a way to interact with their customers and attract more audiences. Social media works as a space where the construction of the relationship takes place more instantly and a little less formally, which allows for more in-depth interaction and the creation of a valuable relationship between company and customer.

Through the social media it is possible that the time of an answer for example is drastically reduced, which alters the consumer perception in a positive way.

It is also possible that companies use social media as a tool to improve relationship marketing, which is the creation of value for the customer through content, photos and posts, which generate engagement, approximation, loyalty and connection with consumers.

CDB stock is currently priced at $80. The company will pay a dividend of $4.57 next year and investors require a return of 10.8 percent on similar stocks. What is the dividend growth rate on this stock

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 5.09%

Explanation:

The model used in this question is the Dividend Discount Model and it is one of the methods used in determining the price of stock. Here, the price of stock had already been determined. We are looking for one of the variables (growth rate) used in determining the price.

The formula for determining price of stock is:

Po = D1/r - g

Where Po is the price of stock

D1 is the dividend for next year

r is the rate of return

g is the dividend growth rate

$80 = $4.57/0.108 - g

Cross multiply:

8.64 - 80g = 4.57

80g = 8.64 - 4.57

80g = 4.07

g = 4.07/80

g =0.05088

g = 5.09%

Answer:

Suppose the world price of cotton falls substantially. The demand for labor among cotton-producing firms in Texas will DECREASE. The demand for labor among textile-producing firms in South Carolina, for which cotton is an input, will INCREASE. The temporary unemployment resulting from such sectoral shifts in the economy is best described as STRUCTURAL unemployment.

Structural unemployment is a non voluntary type of unemployment and it occurs because the skills of the workers are not the ones needed by the employers. In this case, labor that was used for producing cotton in Texas is no longer needed due to shifts in the world price of cotton.

Suppose the government wants to reduce this type of unemployment. Which of the following policies would help achieve this goal? Check all that apply.

railway cabooses just paid its annual dividend of 1.70 per share. The company has been reducing the dividends by 11.3 percent each year. How much are you willing to pay today to purchase stock in this company if your required rate of return is 12 percent?

Answers

Answer:

8.24

Explanation:

According to the given situation, the computation of purchase stock is shown below:-

Purchase price = Dividend in paid in next year ÷ (required rate of return - Growth rate)

= (1.70 ÷ (1 - 0.113)) ÷ (0.12 - (-0.113))

= 1.92 ÷ 0.233

= 8.24

Therefore for computing the purchase price we simply applied the above formula.

Tom and Suri decide to take a worldwide cruise. To do so, they need to save $15,000. They plan to invest $2,500 at the end of each year for the next six years to earn 9% compounded annually. Calculate the future value of the investment. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, and PVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer: $18,808.25

Explanation:

There is a constant cashflow of $2,500 making this an annuity.

The future value of the $2,500 paid every year for 6 years at 9% will be;

Future value of Annuity = 2,500 * Future Value of Annuity factor, 6 periods, 9%) (refer to attached table)

= 2,500 * 7.5233

= $18,808.25

The future value of the amount is more than the amount they would require.

b. $343,343
c. $382,667
d. $394,767
e. $367,100

Answers

Answer:

d. $394,767

Explanation:

For computing the amount of deposit at the end we need to apply the future value formula i.e to be shown in the attachment

Given that,  

Present value = $0

Rate of interest = 7.5% ÷ 12 months = 0.625%

NPER = 25 years × 12 months = 300 months  

PMT = $450

The formula is shown below:

= -FV(Rate;NPER;PMT;PV;type)

So, after applying the above formula, the future value is $394,767

Marshall has received an inheritance and wants to invest a sum of money today that will yield $5,400 at the end of each of the next 10 years. Assuming he can earn an interest rate of 5% compounded annually, how much of his inheritance must he invest today

Answers

Answer:

$3,315.13

Explanation:

To determine the amount of inheritance Marshall should invest today, we have to calculate the present value of $5,400.

PV = FV (1 + r)^-n

FV = Future value = $5,400

P = Present value

R = interest rate 5%

N = number of years 10

$5400(1.05^-10) = $3,315.13

Cindy's current year adjusted gross income (AGI) is $300,000 and her current year total tax liability is $60,000. Her immediate prior year AGI is $200,000 with a total tax liability of $40,000. To avoid an underpayment interest penalty, what is Cindy's minimum required total tax payment amount for the current year

Answers

Answer:

The answer is $44,000

Explanation:

Solution

Given that

Now

Present/current year AGI = $300000

Present /current year tax liability = $60000

Prior year AGI = $200000

Prior year tax liability = $40000

Thus

As per Tax rule or applying the Tax rule

If Adjusted gross income(AGI) of prior year is below $250000 then the minimum required tax payment in the current year in order to avoid interest penalty is lower of

(1) 90% of present /current year tax (liability) or

(2) 110% of prior year tax liability

So

Because the prior year AGI is $200000 which is lower than $250000, in order to avoid interest penalty, the minimum required payment amount of tax liability in current/present year is lower of

(1) 90% of current year tax liability of $60000

Then

$60000 *90% = $54000

Or

(2)110% of prior year tax liability of $40000

$40000 ×110% = $44000

Hence, minimum required total tax payment amount for the current year is $44,000

In response to the financial crisis that began in 2007, the government began to bail out banks deemed "too big to fail." Critics of this action argued that this would create the prospect of future bailouts and encourage banks to be fiscally irresponsible in the future. This illustrates

Answer:

The moral hazard problem

Explanation:

Moral hazard problem is defined as a situation where a party gets involved in a risky venture knowing that another party will incur the cost of failure.

For example if a borrower knows that he can take borrowed funds and default easily, he will tend to not pay back because the lender will bear the loss.

During the the financial crisis that began in 2007, the government began to bail out banks deemed "too big to fail."

This created fiscal irresponsibility in banks that knew if they are at risk of failing they will be bailed out by the government.

On January 1, the Matthews Band pays $65,800 for sound equipment. The band estimates it will use this equipment for four years and perform 200 concerts. It estimates that after four years it can sell the equipment for $2,000. During the first year, the band performs 45 concerts. Compute the first-year depreciation using the units-of-production method. g

Answers

Answer:

Annual depreciation= $14,355

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Original cost= $65,800

Number of units= 200

Salvage value= $2,000

During the first year, the band performs 45 concerts.

To calculate the annual depreciation under the units-of- production method, we need to use the following formula:

Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in units]*units operated

Annual depreciation= [(65,800 - 2,000)/200]*45

Annual depreciation= $14,355

Webby Inc. is a web development company. Webby’s monthly production function for developing websites is given in the table below. Webby pays $4,000 a month in rent for office space and equipment. It pays each programmer $3,000 a month. There are no other production costs. Fill in the table of production costs.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the filling of the given table for the production cost is shown in the attachment below:

As we know that

Total cost = Fixed cost + variable cost

Average fixed cost = fixed cost ÷ websites

Average Variable cost = Variable cost  ÷ websites

Therefore the average total cost is

= Average fixed cost + average variable cost

The marginal cost is

= Change in total cost ÷ change in quantity

These formulas are used to complete the table as given below.

Kramer Manufacturing produces blenders. Its total fixed costs are​ $30,000. Its variable costs are​ $55.00 per blender. As production of blenders increases​ (within the relevant​ range), fixed costs will

Answers

Answer:

As the production of blenders increases, unitary fixed costs decreases.

Explanation:

Its total fixed costs are​ $30,000. Its variable costs are​ $55.00 per blender.

On unitary bases, variable costs remain constant. On the contrary, fixed costs vary at a unitary level. Now, the same amount of costs is divided by a larger number of units.

As the production of blenders increases, unitary fixed costs decreases.

E6-23 (similar to) Aunt Betty Bakery reported net sales revenue of $ 59 comma 000 and cost of goods sold of $ 17 comma 000. Compute Aunt Betty's correct gross profit if the company made either of the following independent accounting errors. a. Ending merchandise inventory is overstated by $ 4 comma 000. b. Ending merchandise inventory is understated by $ 4 comma 000.

Answers

Answer:

a. Ending merchandise inventory is overstated by $4,000.

net sales revenue of $59,000

cost of goods sold of $17,000 + $4,000 = $21,000

gross profit = $38,000

Since ending inventory was overstated, it means that COGS were understated.

b. Ending merchandise inventory is understated by $4,000.

net sales revenue of $59,000

cost of goods sold of $17,000 - $4,000 = $13,000

gross profit = $46,000

Since ending inventory was understated, it means that COGS were overstated.
