If the college strictly enforces the rent ceiling of $250 a month, the on-campus housing market is
Answers
Answer: B. inefficient; the rent ceiling has no effect on the number of rooms rented
Explanation:
If the college strictly enforces the rent ceiling of $250 a month, the on-campus housing market is inefficient because the rent ceiling has no effect on the number of rooms rented.
An efficient market will see equilibrium supply meting equilibrium demand and this is not the case in this market because the supply seems to stay the same regardless of the demand.
This market is inefficient because supply does not react to the rent paid and is always the same. This is why a rent ceiling of $250 had no effect on the market in terms of supply. Efficient markets should see both supply and demand reacting to price so that a mutually beneficial equilibrium can be reached.

One spring afternoon Amanda was using a weight machines in the usual way (and the way she was showed how to use it), when the machine malfunctioned causing her serious injury. The company that made the machine, Musclematic, has known for the past year that this problem existed, but the company took no steps to warn people who owned or used these machines of the problem.
If Amanda files a lawsuit against Musclematic, the company might want to seriously consider:

c. Whether this suit will adversely affect other business relationships
d. The costs associated with litigating this claim
e. All of the other choices
Answers
Answer:
e. All of the other choices

In this instance Musclematic, has known for the past year that this problem existed, but the company took no steps to warn people who owned or used these machines of the problem.
So for any injury users have they will be liable.

- Whether this suit will adversely affect other business relationships
- The costs associated with litigating this claim
This is because they will most likely lose the case.

Because there isn't one single measure of inflation, the government and researchers use a variety of methods to get the most balanced picture of how prices fluctuate in the economy. Two of the most commonly used price indexes are the consumer price index (CPI) and the GDP deflator.
The GDP deflator for this year is calculated by dividing the____________________ using by_____________________________ the using___________ and multiplying by 100. However, the CPI reflects only the prices of all goods and services .
Indicate whether each scenario will affect the GDP deflator or the CPI for the United States.
a. A decrease in the price of a Chinese-made car that is popular among U.S. consumers.
b. An increase in the price of a Waterman Industries deep-water reel, which is a commercial fishing product used for deep-sea fishing, made in the U.S., but not bought by U.S. consumers.
Answers
Answer:
1. The GDP deflator for this year is calculated by dividing the Value of all goods and services produced in the economy this year using this year's prices by the Value of all goods and services produced in the economy in the base year using the base year's prices and multiplying by 100.
However, the CPI reflects only the prices of all goods and services bought by consumers.
2. a. A decrease in the price of a Chinese-made car that is popular among U.S. consumers. Affects CPI.
This affects CPI because the CPI reflects only the prices of goods and services purchased by customers.
b. An increase in the price of a Waterman Industries deep-water reel, which is a commercial fishing product used for deep-sea fishing, made in the U.S., but not bought by U.S. consumers. Affects GDP Deflator.
This is a good produced in the United States so it will affect the GDP Deflator as that deals with GDP.

If the costs of the legislation are concentrated among a few people instead of widespread among the population, those people will be willing to spend up to ___________ lobbying the Senate against the legislation. (Note: Assume that the benefits are widespread; therefore, you can ignore them in the calculations of the few who experience the costs.) The more widely spread are the benefits of the legislation, the _____________is the likelihood of lobbying for the legislation by those who will incur its benefits.
Suppose that, as before, the costs of the legislation are concentrated among a small group, but the benefits of the legislation are concentrated among another small group, and the Senate is responsive to lobbying. The people who will benefit from the legislation will be willing to spend on lobbying up to______________ , in which case the Senate will likely vote ___________ the legislation.
Answers
Answer:
Passing the legislation is INEFFICIENT, and if everyone in Romange shared equally in both its benefits and its costs, the Senate will vote AGAINST the legislation.
Costs are higher than benefits, so it should be rejected.If the costs of the legislation are concentrated among a few people instead of widespread among the population, those people will be willing to spend up to 34 MILLION lobbying the Senate against the legislation.
The more widely spread are the benefits of the legislation, the LOWER is the likelihood of lobbying for the legislation by those who will incur its benefits.
Sadly, when public goods tend to benefit everyone equally, people do not pay attention to them. One sad example, is the current state of the country's road system which is probably the worst among developed nations. Since everyone benefits form roads, everyone complains, but the vast majority of the people do not do anything but complain to themselves or their families when travelling. This is something that has been going on for decades now, and really very few people care. Even public health care, which is one of the most basic duties of a government is something that only a few really pay attention to. Only in Switzerland (which subsidizes and deducts all health spending), does a similar system works. In no other developed, or even in most developing nations would their citizens even consider not having 100% public health care.The________ of the message is based on the number of times an average person in the target market is exposed to a message.

When all of a firm's inputs are doubled, input prices do not change, and this results in the firm's level of production more than doubling, a firm is operating:
Answers
Answer: (B) on the downward-sloping portion of its long-run average total cost curve.
Explanation:
The downward-sloping portion of a company's Long Run Average Total Cost(LRATC) curve is the part where increasing returns to scale is witnessed.
This is because the costs that are incurred by the company leads to higher proportional output thereby reducing the average cost and pulling the LRATC down.
In this scenario, the inputs doubled and the firm's level of production more than doubled which means that with outputs increasing more than costs, the Average cost is reducing and the slope is downward sloping.
Mr Store who runs his photocopy business working 8 hours per day process 100 scripts. He estimates his labour cost to be € 9 per hour. Also he has estimated that the total material cost for each script is approximately € 2; while the daily expenses are €28. Calculate the multifactor productivity. In an effort to increase the rate of the photocopy process to 150 scripts, he decides to change the quality of ink thus raising the mate- rial cost to € 2.5 per day. Is the new productivity better than before? If Mr Store would like to increase the photocopy process to 150 scripts without sacrificing the initial multifactor productivity, by what amount has the material costs to be increased?
Answers
Answer:
A) 0.33 scripts per euro
B) The new productivity is worse than the old productivity
C) 0.333 euros per script
Explanation:
number of hours worked per day = 8
number of scripts processed per day = 100
Labor cost per hour = 9 euros
Total labor cost per day = 9 * 8 = 72 euros
material cost per script = 2 euros
Total material cost per day = 2 * 100 = 200 euros
daily expenses = 28 euros
A) Calculate the multifactor productivity
= output / Total cost
Total cost = ( 72 + 200 + 28 ) = 300
= 100 / 300
= 0.33 scripts per euro
B ) compare the old and new productivity
Old productivity = 0.33 scripts / euro
new multifactor productivity
= output / Total cost
Total cost = (8*9)+(150*2.5)+28 = 475
= 150 / 475
= 0.3158 scripts per euro
hence the new productivity is worse than the old productivity
C ) using the initial multifactor productivity of 0.333
calculate the target total cost = output / multifactor of productivity
= 150/0.333
= 450 euros
hence Material cost = (450 - 8*9-28)/150
= 2.33 euro per script
So, the material cost will be increased by = 2.33 euros - 2
euros
= 0.333 euros per script

Answer:
the present value is $37,230.10
Explanation:
The computation of the present value is shown below:
As we know that
Future value = Present value × (1 + rate of interest)^time period
$50,000 = Present value × (1 + 0.06 ÷ 2)^5 × 2
$50,000 = Present value × (1.03)^10
$50,000 = Present value × 1.343
So, the present value is $37,230.10
hence, the present value is $37,230.10

1. Compute the company’s CM ratio and its break-even point in both unit sales and dollar sales.
2. The president believes that a $6,800 increase in the monthly advertising budget, combined with an intensified effort by the sales staff, will result in an $89,000 increase in monthly sales. If the president is right, what will be the effect on the company’s monthly net operating income or loss?
3. Refer to the original data. The sales manager is convinced that a 10% reduction in the selling price, combined with an increase of $31,000 in the monthly advertising budget, will double unit sales. What will the new contribution format income statement look like if these changes are adopted?

Answers
Answer:
1. Compute the company’s CM ratio and its break-even point in both unit sales and dollar sales.
CM ratio = 211,200 / 528,000 = 39.96%
break even point in $ = 235,200 / 39.96% = $588,588
break even point in units = 588,588 / 40 = 14,714.7 ≈ 14,715 units
2. The president believes that a $6,800 increase in the monthly advertising budget, combined with an intensified effort by the sales staff, will result in an $89,000 increase in monthly sales. If the president is right, what will be the effect on the company’s monthly net operating income or loss?

operating profit = $50,177.60
4. Refer to the original data. The Marketing Department thinks that a fancy new package for the laptop computer battery would help sales. The new package would increase packaging costs by $0.60 cents per unit. Assuming no other changes, how many units would have to be sold each month to earn a profit of $4,100?
variable expenses per unit = $24.016 + $0.60 = $24.616
contribution margin per unit = $40 - $24.616 = $15.384
break even point + $4,100 gains = 239,300 / 15.384 = 15,555.122 ≈ 15,556 units
5. Refer to the original data. By automating, the company could reduce variable expenses by $3 per unit. However, fixed expenses would increase by $55,000 each month.
a) contribution margin per unit = $18.984
break even point = 290,200 / 18.984 = 15,286.56 ≈ 15,287 units

fixed expenses = $266,200
operating profit = $50,177.60
4. variable expenses per unit = $24.016 + $0.60 = $24.616

You have the following rates of return for a risky portfolio for several recent years. Assume that the stock pays no dividends. Year Beginning of Year Price # of Shares Bought or Sold 2011 $50.00 100 Bought 2012 $55.00 50 Bought 2013 $51.00 75 Sold 2014 $54.00 75 Sold What is the geometric average return for the period?
Answers
Answer:
The geometric average return for the period 2.60%.
Explanation:
Note: The data in this question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question with the sorted data.
Also note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the return for each year.
In the attached excel file, return is calculated using the following formula:
Return = (Current year price - Previous year price) / Previous year price
The formula for calculating the geometric average return is given as follows:
Geometric average return = [(1 + R1)(1 + R2)(1 + R3)...(1 + Rn)]^(1/n) – 1 ……….. (1)
Where;
Ri = Return over the years I, where i = 1, 2, 3, …. n
n = number of years = 3
R1 = 2012 return = 0.10
R2 = 2013 return = -0.0727272727272727
R3 = 0.0588235294117647
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Geometric average return = ((1 + 0.10)(1 - 0.0727272727272727)(1 + 0.0588235294117647))^(1/3) – 1
Geometric average return = (1.10 * 0.927272727272727 * 1.0588235294117647)^(1/3) – 1
Geometric average return = 1.07999999999999^0.333333333333333 - 1
Geometric average return = 1.02598556800602 - 1
Geometric average return = 0.02598556800602 = 0.0260, or 2.60%
Therefore, the geometric average return for the period 2.60%.

Brazil has a population of about 210 million, with about 150 million over the age of 15. Of these, an estimated 25 percent, or 37.5 million people, are functionally illiterate. The typical literate individual reads only about two nonacademic books per year, which is less than half the number read by the typical literate U.S. or European resident. Answer the following questions solely from the perspective of new growth theory:
Which of the following best explains the implications of Brazil's literacy and reading rates for its growth prospects in light of the key tenets of new growth theory.
A. Since economic growth is driven by international trade in technology and capital, if Brazil opens its borders, its literacy and reading rates will improve as the country experiences economic growth.
B. Since the development of human capital is an important determinant of economic growth, Brazil's literacy and reading rates suggests its potential economic growth rate is lower.
C. Since it has been demonstrated that technological advancement and not human capital is the key determinant of economic growth, Brazil's literacy and reading rates should not affect its potential economic growth rate.
D. Since technologically advanced physical capital is necessary for economic growth, Brazil's literacy and reading rates suggests its economic growth rate will be lower because there are not enough skilled workers to operate sophisticated machinery.
Answers
Answer:
B. Since the development of human capital is an important determinant of economic growth, Brazil's literacy and reading rates suggests its potential economic growth rate is lower.
Explanation:
According to the New Growth Theory, it is both human desire and capital the factors that drive economic growth the most.
A literate population that does not read a lot means a lower level of human capital for Brazil, which in turn means that Brazil has a lower potential for economic growth. In order to increase economic growth, the Brazilian government should promote readership among its population.

Please discuss the following two scenarios: Both scenarios consist of a loan of $1000 on Jan.1 - to be paid back on Dec. 31. A is the lender and B is the debtor.
Scenario 1: On Nov. 7th, A calls B to see how he is doing. B says he is not doing well. A asks if B will be able to pay the $1000 on Dec. 31. B says probably not. A asks how much B will have and B says about $700. A tells B to pay him $700 on Dec. 31 and that he will not owe him the additional $300. A puts it in writing. On Dec. 31, B pays the agreed upon $700. Then on January 15th, A calls B and tells him that he wants the additional $300.
Scenario 2: Same situation, but on the Nov. 7th phone call, A tells B to pay him the $700 now and then he will not owe him the additional $300. It is put in writing. B pays $700 on Nov. 7th. Then on January 15th, A calls B and tells him that he wants to additional $300. In which scenario can A get the additional $300.
In which scenario can A get the additional $300? It could be in both scenarios, neither or one of them. What do you think?
Answers
Answer:
Neither
Explanation:
When A creates a deal of B paying only $700 now or on 31st December with a written commitment that he will not owe $300, it means A has decided to write off the $300. Had A not created any written document and just asked B to pay $700 now and then later on reminded and demanded $300 it would have been fine. A would still be legally right in maintaining that B still owes the balance $300.
However, giving a written commitment of waving off the $300 on payment of $700 now or by 31st Dec which B accepts and also adheres to by paying means that B has fulfilled the new agreement. As A has only floated the new agreement, he cannot go back from his own statements.
