Answer:
A)Infant-industry argument
Explanation:
We are informed about a Supposed policy debate over whether the United States should impose trade restrictions on imported ball bearings. Whereby
Domestic producers of ball bearings send a lobbyist to the U.S. government to request that the government impose trade restrictions on imports of ball bearings.
In the case whereby, The lobbyist claims that the U.S. ball-bearing industry is new and cannot currently compete with foreign firms, the justifications the lobbyist was using to argue for the trade restriction on ball bearings is Infant-industry argument.
Infant-industry argument can be regarded as an economic rationale that provides protection for new industries that are yet to reach a certain economic scale like the existing industries, this theory offer protection to this new/developing industry from some form pressure as well as their products that can emerge from compitition from other mature industries.
Robert G. Flanders Jr., the state-appointed receiver for Central Falls, RI, said his city's declaration of bankruptcy had proved invaluable in helping it cut costs. Before the city declared bankruptcy, he said, he had found it impossible to wring meaningful concessions out of the city's unions and retirees, who were being asked to give up roughly half of the pensions they had earned as the city ran out of cash.
True or False
Answer: false
Explanation:
The alternative to the term of agreement is the declaration of bankruptcy, in which the cities can extract their pensions, it gives a much better alternative. It also increases the bargaining powers of the members of the city. It will help in extracting concessions from the government. It also increases the disagreement value of the city.
Swifty Company purchased equipment for $256,800 on October 1, 2020. It is estimated that the equipment will have a useful life of 8 years and a salvage value of $12,000. Estimated production is 48,000 units and estimated working hours are 20,400. During 2020, Swifty uses the equipment for 600 hours and the equipment produces 1,000 units.
Required:
Compute depreciation expense under each of the following methods. Swifty is on a calendar-year basis ending December 31.
a. Straight-line method for 2020 $enter a dollar amount.
b. Activity method (units of output) for 2020 $enter a dollar amount.
c. Activity method (working hours) for 2020 $enter a dollar amount.
d. Sum-of-the-years'-digits method for 2022 $enter a dollar amount (e) Double-declining-balance method for 2021
Answer:
a. Straight line method.
Depreciation per annum = ($ 256,800 - $12,000 ) / 8 = $ 30,600.
Depreciation for 2020 = $ 30,600 * ( 3 /12 ) = $ 7,650.
b. Units of output
Depreciation per unit = ( $ 256,800 - $ 12,000 ) / 48,000 = $ 5.1
Depreciation for 2020 = 1,000 * $ 5.1 = $ 5,100.
c. Working hours.
Depreciation per hours = ( $ 256,800 - $ 12,000 ) / 20,400 = $ 12
Depreciation for 2020 = 600 * $ 12 = $ 7,200.
D. Sum of digits method
Sum of years = 8 ( 8 +1 ) / 2 = 36.
Year - 1 used ( 3 / 12 = 0.25)
Year-2 used ( 12 / 12 = 1 )
Remaining ( 8 - 1 - 0.25 = 6.75)
Depreciation for 2022 = ($ 256,800 - $ 12,000 ) * ( 6.75 / 36 )
Depreciation for 2022 = $ 45,900.
e. Double declining balance
Depreciation rate = 200 / 8 = 25 %.
Depreciation for 2020 = $256,800 * 25 % * (3 /12)
Depreciation for 2020 = $16,050.
Depreciation for 2021 = ( $256,800 - $ 16,050) * 25%
Depreciation for 2021 = $60,188.

Consider an economy that produces only chocolate bars. In year 1, the quantity produced is 3 bars and the price is $4. In year 2, the quantity produced is 4 bars and the price is $5. In year 3, the quantity produced is 5 bars and the price is $6. Using year 1 as the base year, compute nominal GDP, real GDP, and the GDP deflator for each year.
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
The nominal GDP is the market value of goods within a country adjusted for price change.
Nominal GDP for year 1 = Total market value of goods at current price = 3 bars × $4 = $12
Nominal GDP for year 2 = Total market value of goods at current price = 4 bars × $5 = $20
Nominal GDP for year 3 = Total market value of goods at current price = 5 bars × $6 = $30
The real GDP is the market value of goods within a country at current price.
Real GDP for year 1 = Total market value of goods at base year price = 3 bars × $4 = $12
Real GDP for year 2 = Total market value of goods at base year price = 4 bars × $4 = $16
Real GDP for year 3 = Total market value of goods at base year price = 5 bars × $4 = $20
GDP deflator is the ratio of nominal GDP to real GDP multiplied by 100.
GDP deflator in year 1 = (Nominal GDP in year 1 / Real GDP in year 1) × 100 = ($12/$12) × 100 = 100
GDP deflator in year 2 = (Nominal GDP in year 2 / Real GDP in year 2) × 100 = ($20/$16) × 125 = 100
GDP deflator in year 3 = (Nominal GDP in year 3 / Real GDP in year 3) × 100 = ($30/$20) × 100 = 150
Suppose that, in a competitive market without government regulations, the equilibrium price of milk is $2.50 per gallon, and employees at grocery stores earn $21.50 per hour. Indicate the following whether each of the statements is an example of a price ceiling or a price floor and whether it results in a shortage or a surplus or has no effect on the price and quantity that prevail in the market.
a. There are many teenagers who would like to work at grocery stores, but the minimum-wage law sets the hourly wage at $25.00.
b. The government has instituted a legal minimum price of $2.30 per gallon for milk.
c. The government prohibits grocery stores from selling milk for more than $2.30 per gallon.
Explanation:
at price ceiling we have price set at a maximum level. it cannot be raised beyond this level. At binding price ceiling, price would be set to be lower than what is the equilibrium price level. a non binding price ceiling is set to be higher than equilibrium level.
At price floor, price is set to a particular minimum level. It cannot fall lower than this. At binding price floor, price is higher than equilibrium price' at non binding price floor, it is set to be lower than equilibrium price level.
this expalnation should help us to answer this question.
(a) Many teenagers would like to work but minimum wage is set at 25.00 we have Price floor, Binding
(b) Government instituted legal minimum price of a gallon of milk at $2.30 we have Price floor, Non-binding
(c) if the Government prohibits from selling milk for more than $2.30 per gallon then we have Price ceiling, Binding
Assume that on January 1, 2012, a parent company acquired a 70% interest in a subsidiary's voting common stock. On the date of acquisition, the fair value of the subsidiary's net assets equaled their reported book values except for machinery and equipment, which had a fair value of $480,000 and a reported book value of $250,000. The machinery and equipment had a 5 year remaining useful life and no salvage value. The following are the highly summarized pre-consolidation income statements of the parent and subsidiary for the year ended December 31 , 2013:
Income Statement Parent Subsidiary
Revenues $2,160,000 $288,000
Equity income 60,200

At Davide Corporation, direct materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversions costs are uniformly applied. Other details include:
WIP beginning (60% for conversion) 17,500 units
Units started 114,500 units
Units completed and transferred out 111,700 units
WIP ending (30% for conversion) 20,300 units
Beginning WIP direct materials $22,300
Beginning WIP conversion costs $19,700
Costs of materials added $370,000
Costs of conversion added $280,000
What is the total cost of units completed and transferred out?
Answer and Explanation:
For materials
Equivalent completed units = Completed units + WIP ending
= 111,700 + 20,300
= 132,000 units
Cost of materials = Beginning WIP + Cost of materials added
= 22,300 + 370,000
= $392,300
Cost of material per units = 392,300 ÷ 132,000
= $2.97197
For conversions
Equivalent completed units = Completed units + WIP ending
= 111,700 + 20,300 × 30%
= 117,790 units
Cost of Conversion = Beginning WIP + Cost of conversion added
= 19,700 + 280,000
= $299,700
Cost of conversion per units = 299,700 ÷ 117,790
= $2.54436
Total cost of units completed and transferred out
= 111,700 × (2.97197 + 2.54436)
= $616,174

Determining the true cash balance, starting with the unadjusted book balance
Nickleson Company had an unadjusted cash balance of $7,176 as of May 31. The company’s bank statement, also dated May 31, included a $67 NSF check written by one of Nickleson’s customers. There were $1,239 in outstanding checks and $255 in deposits in transit as of May 31. According to the bank statement, service charges were $35, and the bank collected an $600 note receivable for Nickleson. The bank statement also showed $14 of interest revenue earned by Nickleson.
Required:
Determine the true cash balance as of May 31. (Hint: It is not necessary to use all of the preceding items to determine the true balance.)
True cash balance
Answer:
True Cash Balance $7,688
Explanation:
The computation of the true cash balance is shown below:
Unadjusted Cash Balance as of May 31 $7,176
Add: Interest Earned $14
Note Collected by Bank $600
Less: NSF check ($67)
Less Bank charges ($35)
True Cash Balance $7,688
Hence, the true cash balance is $7,688 and the same is to be considered
The following model is a simplified version of the multiple regression model used by Biddle and Hamermesh (1990) to study the tradeoff between time spent sleeping and working and to look at other factors affecting sleep:
sleep = β0 + β1totwrk + β2educ + β3age + u,
where sleep and totwrk (total work) are measured in minutes per week and educ and age are measured in years. (See also Computer Exercise.)
(i) If adults trade off sleep for work, what is the sign of β1?
(ii) What signs do you think β2 and β3 will have?
(iii) Using the data in SLEEP75.RAW, the estimated equation is
= 3,638.25 - .148 totwrk - 11.13 educ + 2.20 age n = 706, R2 = .113.
If someone works five more hours per week, by how many minutes is sleep predicted to fall? Is this a large tradeoff?
(iv) Discuss the sign and magnitude of the estimated coefficient on educ.
(v) Would you say totwrk, educ, and age explain much of the variation in sleep? What other factors might affect the time spent sleeping? Are these likely to be correlated with totwrk?
Use the data in SLEEP75.RAW from Biddle and Hamermesh (1990) to study whether there is a tradeoff between the time spent sleeping per week and the time spent in paid work. We could use either variable as the dependent variable. For concreteness, estimate the model
sleep =β0+ β1totwrk+u, where sleep is minutes spent sleeping at night per week and totwrk is total minutes worked during the week.
(i) Report your results in equation form along with the number of observations and R2. What does the intercept in this equation mean?
(ii) If totwrk increases by 2 hours, by how much is sleep estimated to fall? Do you find this to be a large effect?
Answer:
1. I²1 will have a negative sign
This is because the more work the adults do, the less sleep they will utilize.
2. The sign of i²2 is likely to be negative. This is because due to the demands placed on them, more educated people are likely to sleep less. Also, general as age increases some people sleep less. While some others sleep more as it increases. So i²3 is a bit complicated to judge.
3. Using the data
^sleep = 3638.24-0.148toteork-11.13educ + 2.20age
N = 706 r² = 0.113
We will convert 5 hours to minutes = 60x5 = 300
Coefficient of totwork = 0.148
O.148x300 = 44.4 minutes
In a week approximately 45 minutes of less sleep is not too much a change.
4. We are to discuss the sign and magnitude of estimated education
More education indicates less sleeping time. This is obvious given the sign of the variable educ. It is negative, but it's effect is quite small. Magnitude is -11.13.
So as education increases by 1 year, expected sleeping time decreases by 11.13 minutes weekly.
5. R² is 0.113. the 3 predictor variables gives us 11.3% of total variations in sleep and rest. 88.7% is unexplained.
Some factors that might also affect it are general health, number and age of children are factors that could correlate with totwork

Seiko’s current salary is $85,000. Her marginal tax rate is 32 percent and she fancies European sports cars. She purchases a new auto each year. Seiko is currently a manager for an Idaho Office Supply. Her friend, knowing of her interest in sports cars, tells her about a manager position at the local BMW and Porsche dealer. The new position pays only $75,000 per year, but it allows employees to purchase one new car per year at a discount of $15,000. This discount qualifies as a nontaxable fringe benefit. In an effort to keep Seiko as an employee, Idaho Office Supply offers her a $10,000 raise. Answer the following questions about this analysis.
Problem 12-41
Part a a. Assuming it has a 21 percent marginal tax rate, what is the annual after-tax cost to Idaho Office Supply to provide Seiko with the $10,000 increase in salary?
Answer:
$7,900
Explanation:
Calculation for the annual after-tax cost
Additional salary = $ 10,000
Marginal tax rate=21%
First step is to find the income tax benefit
Income tax benefit = $ 10,000 x 21%
Income tax benefit= $ 2,100
Second step is to find the Annual after tax cost of additional salary
Annual after tax cost of additional salary = $ 10,000 - $2,100
Annual after tax cost of additional salary = $7,900
Therefore the annual after-tax cost will be $7,900

A remotely located air sampling station can be powered by solar cells or by running an electric line to the site and using conventional power. Solar cells will cost $12,600 to install and will have a useful life of 4 years with no salvage value. Annual costs for inspection, cleaning, etc. are expected to be $1,400. A new power line will cost $11,000 to install, with power costs expected to be $800 per year. Since the air sampling project will end in 4 years, the salvage value of the line is considered to be zero. At an interest rate of 10% per year, which alternative should be selected on the basis of a future worth analysis?
Answer:
Since the total future worth of running an electric line of $19,353.42 is less than the total future worth of solar cells is $24,132.22, it implies that it will be cheaper to run an electric line than to use solar cells. Therefore, running an electric line should be selected.
Explanation:
The future worth analysis refers to an act of determining what the the worth of present amount of money or stream of money invested at an interest rate will after in some period or years to come.
To determine which one to select between solar cells and running an electric line, the we need to calculate the future worth of both and compared as follows:
a. Calculation of future value of solar cells
Calculation of future worth of $12,600 installation cost
FW of $12,600 = PW of $12,600 * (1 + r)^n ................ (1)
Where;
FW of $12,600 = Future worth of $12,600 installation cost = ?
PW of $12,600 = Present worth of $12,600 installation cost = $12,600
r = interest rate = 10%, or 0.10
n = number of years = 4
Substitute the values into equation (1), we have:
FW of $12,600 = $12,600 * (1 + 0.10)^4
FW of $12,600 = $12,600 * 1.4641
FW of $12,600 = $18,447.66
Calculation of future worth of annual costs for inspection, cleaning, etc. of $1,400
The future worth of annual costs for inspection, cleaning, etc. of $1,400 can also be calculated using the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:
FW of $1,400 = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (2)
Where,
FW of $1,400 = Future value of Annual costs for inspection, cleaning, etc. of $1,400 =?
M = Annual costs for inspection, cleaning, etc. = $1,400
r = interest rate = 10%, or 0.10
n = number of years = 4
Substitute the values into equation (2), we have:
FW of $1,400 = $1,400 * (((1 + 0.01)^4 - 1) / 0.01)
FW of $1,400 = $1,400 * 4.060401
FW of $1,400 = $5,684.56
Calculation of total future worth of solar cells
This is calculated by simply adding the FW of $12,600 and FW of $1,400 as follows:
Total future worth of solar cells = FW of $12,600 + FW of $1,400 = $18,447.66 + $5,684.56 = $24,132.22
Therefore, the total future worth of solar cells is $24,132.22.
b. Calculation of future value of running an electric line
Calculation of future worth of $11,000 installation cost
FW of $11,000 = PW of $11,000 * (1 + r)^n ................ (3)
Where;
FW of $11,000 = Future worth of $11,000 installation cost = ?
PW of $11,000 = Present worth of $11,000 installation cost = $11,000
r = interest rate = 10%, or 0.10
n = number of years = 4
Substitute the values into equation (3), we have:
FW of $11,000 = $11,000 * (1 + 0.10)^4
FW of $11,000 = $11,000 * 1.4641
FW of $11,000 = $16,105.10
Calculation of future worth of expected annual power costs of $800
The future worth of expected annual power costs of $800 can also be calculated using the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:
FW of $800 = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (4)
Where,
FW of $800 = Future value of expected annual power costs of $800 =?
M = Expected annual power costs = $800
r = interest rate = 10%, or 0.10
n = number of years = 4
Substitute the values into equation (4), we have:
FW of $800 = $800 * (((1 + 0.01)^4 - 1) / 0.01)
FW of $800 = $800 * 4.060401
FW of $800 = $3,248.32
Calculation of total future worth of running an electric line
This is calculated by simply adding the FW of $11,000 and FW of $800 as follows:
Total future worth of running an electric line = FW of $11,000 + FW of $800 = $16,105.10 + $3,248.32 = $19,353.42
Therefore, the total future worth of running an electric line is $19,353.42.
c. Conclusion
Since the total future worth of running an electric line of $19,353.42 is less than the total future worth of solar cells is $24,132.22, it implies that it will be cheaper to run an electric line than to use solar cells. Therefore, running an electric line should be selected.
One-year Treasury securities yield 4.85%. The market anticipates that 1 year from now, 1-year Treasury securities will yield 5.2%. If the pure expectations theory is correct, what is the yield today for 2-year Treasury securities
Answer:
5.025%
Explanation:
When we assume that the pure expectations theory is correct, then we are assuming that there is no risk premium involved. The formula to determine the yield for the 2 year treasury security:
(1 + i)² = (1 + 4.85%) x (1 + 5.2%)
(1 + i)² = 1.0485 x 1.052
(1 + i)² = 1.103022
√(1 + i)² = √1.103022
1 + i = 1.050248542
i = 0.050248542 = 5.025%

Answer: A
Be able to produce top-quality goods and services
If a specific economy has extra capital resources available, be able to produce more goods and services needed and wanted by society.
What is an economy?An economy is a region where products and services are produced, distributed, traded, and consumed. It is generally understood to be a social domain that places an emphasis on the behaviors, discourses, and tangible manifestations connected to the creation, utilization, and management of finite resources.
One's culture, values, education, technological advancement, history, social organization, political structure, legal system, and natural resources are all major determinants of an economy's processes.
These elements determine the parameters and conditions under which an economy operates in addition to providing background and content. In other words, the economic realm is a social domain made up of connected human behaviors and exchanges that cannot exist independently.
Individuals, companies, organizations, or governments all qualify as economic actors. When two persons or organizations agree on the value or price of the good or service being exchanged, which is typically stated in a particular currency, an economic transaction takes place.

Consider an economy that produces only chocolate bars. In year 1, the quantity produced is 3 bars and the price is $2. In year 2, the quantity produced is 5 bars and the price is $4. In year 3, the quantity produced is 7 bars and the price is $6.
Required:
Using year 1 as the base year, compute nominal GDP, real GDP, and the GDP deflator for each year.
Answer:
Nominal GDP in year 1 = $6
Nominal GDP in year 2 = $20
Nominal GDP in year 3 = $42
Real GDP in year 1 = $6
Real GDP in year 2 = $10
Real GDP in year 3 = $14
GDP deflator in year 1 = 100
GDP deflator in year 2 = 200
GDP deflator in year 3 = 300
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Nominal GDP is GDP calculated using current year prices while Real GDP is GDP calculated using base year prices. Real GDP has been adjusted for inflation.
Nominal GDP = quantity produced x current year price
Nominal GDP in year 1 = (3 x $2) = $6
Nominal GDP in year 2 = 5 x $4 = $20
Nominal GDP in year 3 = 7 x $6 = $42
Real GDP = quantity produced x base year price
Real GDP in year 1 = (3 x $2) = $6
Real GDP in year 2 = 5 x $2 = $10
Real GDP in year 3 = 7 x $2 = $14
GDP deflator = nominal GDP / Real GDP x 100
GDP deflator in year 1 = $6 / $6 x 100 = 100
GDP deflator in year 2 = $20 / $10 x 100= 200
GDP deflator in year 3 = $42 / 14 x 100 = 300
Composing powerful paragraphs is essential when striving for clear communication. Familiarize yourself with basic paragraph elements, various paragraph patterns, and strategies for building coherence.
Use the following paragraphs to answer the questions that follow.
Paragraph A: Last week, three of our Xcite executives closed a lucrative merger deal with Editionplus. The merger will add more than 500 accounts to our business and will increase our profits by 39 percent in less than a year. Additionally, the executives met with several Editionplus product designers and agreed on three new computer prototypes that we will produce during the next five years. This means we will expand our business to both Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
Paragraph B: Employee reaction has been mixed about our recent plans to expand to Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Many Xcite employees are concerned that the Los Angeles site will not have the same relaxed corporate environment as the current site. However, this is not the case: The relaxed corporate environment at the San Francisco site will be replicated in Los Angeles. The culture we have developed works for the company and our employees, and we don't plan to change it. Human resources executives are already interviewing San Francisco employees so they can capture and replicate the culture with ease.
Paragraph C: The leadership at the Xcite San Francisco site has been phenomenal during the last ten years. Everyone in senior-level positions has worked his or her way up the corporate ladder and has contributed greatly to the company's success. This team has increased our profits by 6 percent, expanded office space, hired additional IT support, and strengthened our IT infrastructure. These are just a few of this leadership team's many accomplishments. In the next two months, a new leadership team will be formed for the Los Angeles site. This team will consist of transferred employees from the San Francisco site. We will be offering many of you a chance to be part of this move. Additional training will be required for all who are transferring, and moving costs will not be covered. Xcite looks forward to opening another location with excellent products, high profits, and 100 percent employee and customer satisfaction.

Etxuck327 Inc. sells a particular textbook for $39. Variable expenses are $28 per book. At the current volume of 49,000 books sold per year the company is just breaking even. Given these data, the annual fixed expenses associated with the textbook total:
Answer:
539,000.00
Explanation:
As per the contribution margin analysis concept, the break-even point is obtained by dividing fixed cost by contribution margin per unit.
For Etuck327,
The selling price is $39
Variable expense is $28
Break-even in units is 49,000 books.
Contribution margin per unit = selling price - variable costs
=$39- $28
=$11
if Break-even = fixed cost/ contribution margin per unit, then
49,000= fixed cost / 11
fixed costs = 11 x 49000
Fixed costs = 539,000.00
Tom and Betsy, who are married filing jointly, reported a standard deduction of $24,000 on their 2018 tax return. They paid $500 to the state for income taxes in 2018. In 2019, they received a $125 refund of state taxes paid in 2018. What is the amount that Tom and Betsy need to report on their 2019 tax return?
Answer:
$0
Explanation:
Since Tom and Betsy didn't itemize their deductions in 2018 (they chose the standard deduction), they didn't include the state taxes in their tax filing. Since the state taxes were not used by Tom and Betsy to reduce their federal income taxes, then any refund will not be included in their current income. Only if state taxes are used to lower federal taxes, do taxpayers need to include any refund.
