GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Net export = exports – imports
When exports exceed import there is a trade deficit and when import exceeds import, there is a trade surplus.
Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:
1. services not rendered to oneself
2. Activities not reported to the government
3. illegal activities
4. sale or purchase of used products
5. sale or purchase of intermediate products
The accountant's work would be included in 2019's GDP
The chocolate purchase would be included in GDP as part of consumption expenditure
Tire is an intermediate good in this question and would not be included in GDP
The purchase of the shoe from Vietnam would have no effect on GDP because it decreases net export

Jake Fleming sells graphic card update kits for computers. Jake purchases these kits for $20 and sells about 250 kits a year. Each time Jake places an order, it costs him $25 to cover shipping and paperwork. Jake figures that the cost of holding an update kit in inventory is about $3.50 per kit per year. What is the economic order quantity
Answer:
60 Kits
Explanation:
Cost price (C) = $20/Kit
Yearly se (D) = 250 kit/year
Shipping cost / Ordering cost (Co) = $25
Holding cost (Ch) = $3.5/Kit-year
Economic order quantity = √2.D.Co / Ch
Economic order quantity = √2*250*25/3.5
Economic order quantity = √12500/3.5
Economic order quantity = √3571.4285
Economic order quantity = 59.7614305
Economic order quantity = 60 Kits

PROJECT FOCUS: One day, a sophisticated business man walks into the cafe and asks to speak to the owner. He introduces himself as Brawner Smith and says that he would like to talk to you in private. Brawner has just opened a local record store down the street and would like to purchase your customer lists from music events. Brawner is offering you a rather large sum of money for the e-mail addresses and phone numbers for all of the customers who have attended concerts at the cafe over the past five years. What do you do
Answer:
Explanation:
Solution
At first, we will determine that whether we have communicated to our customers in a past that we will keep their information confidential and never be sold to any other person or business for any future marketing. If we have made such communication, then we should take information confidential and do not give to others.Similarly, if there is no confidentiality communication made in a past, then we can put an offer towards Brawner. We offer him that instead of providing phone numbers and email to him, pay tome, we will email and call the customers and let them know about Brawner and local record store. So in case any customers want something, they will contact directly to you (Brawner) or his shop.
If there is a communication to customers or from customers that the data should be kept private and not shared with anyone, the café owner should not share it.
Decision making based theory:It's crucial to know how the data will be utilised and whether or not it will be shared with the owner of the record store.
Customers should be consulted before the data is shared, and the store owner's details and interest in them should be disclosed.
It makes good commercial sense to provide the data in exchange for money because the café owner has invested a significant amount of time, effort, and money in gathering the information.
An agreement can be reached with the store owner for the sharing of data with other businesses, limiting data usage and avoiding rivalry.

Dividing the annual deposit by the number of years before calculating the problem. Using a financial calculator to help solve the problem. Multiplying the number of years and the interest rate before calculating the problem. Multiplying the annual deposit and the number of years before calculating the problem.
Answer:
Multiplying the annual deposit and the number of years before calculating the problem.
Explanation:
An annuity can be defined as a sequence of payment that is typically made at equal intervals i.e at specific period of time.
Basically, annuity can be calculated using the compound interest formula. It is given by the mathematical expression;
[tex] A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]
Where;
A is the future value.
P is the principal or starting amount.
r is annual interest rate.
n is the number of times the interest is compounded in a year.
t is the number of years for the compound interest.
Additionally, the time period between each payment is called payment period.
The term of an annuity refers to the time from the beginning of the first payment made by an individual to the end of the last payment period.
A common error made when solving a future value of an annuity problem is multiplying the annual deposit and the number of years before calculating the problem.
M Corp. has an employee benefit plan for compensated absences that gives each employee 15 paid vacation days. Vacation days can be carried over indefinitely. Employees can elect to receive payment in lieu of vacation days. At December 31, 2021, M's unadjusted balance of liability for compensated absences was $35,400. M estimated that there were 200 total vacation days available at December 31, 2021. M's employees earn an average of $177 per day. After recording any necessary adjustment, in its December 31, 2021, balance sheet, what amount of liability for compensated absences is M required to report
Answer:
$35,400
Explanation:
Calculation for what amount of liability for compensated absences is M required to report
Using this formula
Liability for compensated absences=Total vacation days available at December 31, 2021 *Average wage per day
Let plug in the formula
Liability for compensated absences=200*$177 per day
Liability for compensated absences=$35,400
Therefore the Liability for compensated absences at December 31, 2021 will be $35,400

Overhead Cost Pool Budgeted Overhead Cost Driver Estimated Cost Driver Level
Machine setups $120,000 # of setups 120 setups
Materials handling 104,400 # of barrels 8,700 barrels
Quality control 264,000 # of inspections 1,100 inspections
Other overhead cost 144,000 # of machine hours 12,000 machine hours
Total overhead $632,400
A current product order has the following requirements:
Machine setups 8 setups
Materials handling 606 barrels
Quality inspections 80 inspections
Machine hours 830 machine hours
Direct labor hour 336 hours
Using ABC, how much other overhead is assigned to the order?
a. $9,960.
b. $8,000.
c. $11,108.
d. $45,992.
e. $19,200.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the above information
Payroll = $432,000 ÷ 4,800 = $90 per hour
Setup = $120,000 / 120 = $1,000 per setup
Material handling barrel = $104,400 / 8,700 = $11.95 per barrel
Quality control inspection = $264,000 / 1,100 = $240 per inspection
Overhead = $144,000 / 12,000 = $12 per machine hour
Details of the current product requirement
8 setup = 8 × $1,000 = $8,000
606 barrels = 606 × $11.95 = $7,242
80 inspections = 80 × $240 = $19,200
830 machine hours = 830 × $12 = $9,960
336 labor hours = 336 × $90 = $30,240
Total overhead assigned to order = $74,642

Answer:
periodically pay a fixed rate of interest and receive a floating rate of interest.
Explanation:
The interest rate (rate of return) can be defined as the percentage of interest or dividends earned on money that is invested.
In Financial accounting, a return refers to the amount of profit generated by an investor on an investment over a specific period of time.
Basically, the interest rate which is typically expressed as a percentage of the initial costs of an investment can either be a gain or a loss on an investment. Therefore, a positive rate of return on an investment over a specific period of time, simply means that an investor is making a profit (gains) while a negative rate of return on an investment over a specific period of time, indicates that the investor is running at a loss.
By convention, a swap buyer on an interest rate swap agrees to periodically pay a fixed rate of interest and receive a floating rate of interest.
Lincoln, Inc., which uses a volume-based cost system, produces cat condos that sell for $140 each. Direct materials cost $22 per unit, and direct labor costs $15 per unit. Manufacturing overhead is applied at a rate of 280% of direct labor cost. Nonmanufacturing costs are $34 per unit. What is the gross profit margin for the cat condos
Answer:
43.57 %
Explanation:
The computation of the gross margin for the cat condos is given below:
Total Manufacturing Cost per unit is
= Direct materials + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead
= $22 + $15 + ( 280% of $15)
= $79
Now
Gross Profit is
= Selling price per unit - Total Manufacturing Cost per unit
= $140 - $79
= $61
And finally
Gross Profit Margin is
= (Gross Profit ÷ Selling Price ) × 100
= ($61 ÷ $140) × 100
= 43.57 %
Sorter Company purchased equipment for $330,000 on January 2, 2019. The equipment has an estimated service life of 8 years and an estimated residual value of $33,000 . Required: Compute the depreciation expense for 2019 under each of the following methods: Straight-line: $ fill in the blank 1 Sum-of-the-years'-digits: $ fill in the blank 2 Double-declining-balance: $
Answer:
1. Depreciation expense for 2019(Straight-line)= (Cost of the assets - Salvage value) / life of the assets
= ($330000 - $33000)/8
= $37,125

Isabel, a calendar-year taxpayer, uses the cash method of accounting for her sole proprietorship. In late December she received a $20,000 bill from her accountant for consulting services related to her small business. Isabel can pay the $20,000 bill anytime before January 30 of next year without penalty. Assume her marginal tax rate is 37 percent this year and next year, and that she can earn an after-tax rate of return of 8 percent on her investments
Required:
a. What is the after-tax cost if Isabel pays the $19,000 bill in December?
b. What is the after-tax cost if Isabel pays the $19,000 bill in January?
c. Based on requirement a and b, should Isabel pay the $19,000 bill in December or January?
Answer:
A. $11,970
B. $11,890
C. January
Explanation:
a. Calculation for the after-tax cost if Isabel pays the $19,000 bill in December
After-tax cost=$19,000 - ($19,000 x 37%)
After-tax cost= $19,000 - $7,030
After-tax cost= $11,970
Therefore the after-tax cost if Isabel pays the $19,000 bill in December will be $11,970
b. Calculation for the after-tax cost if Isabel pays the $19,000 bill in January
First step is to calculate the cost before taxes
Cost before taxes = $19,000 - ($19,000 x 8%/12) Cost before taxes= $19,000 - $127
Cost before taxes= $18,873
Now let calculate the After-tax cost
After-tax cost = $18,873 - ($18,873 x 37%)
After-tax cost= $18,873 - $6,983
After-tax cost = $11,890
Therefore the after-tax cost if Isabel pays the $19,000 bill in January will be $11,890
c. Based on the above calculation for both a and b, Isabel should pay the amount of $19,000 bill in January reason that it has the lowest cost of debt of the amount of $11,890 compare to December which has the cost of debt of the amount of $11,970.

1) Consider the single factor APT. Portfolio A has a beta of 1.7 and an expected return of 19%. Portfolio B has a beta of .6 and an expected return of 15%. The risk-free rate of return is 11%. If you wanted to take advantage of an arbitrage opportunity, you should take a short position in portfolio __________ and a long position in portfolio
Answer:
A, B.
Explanation:
E(r) = Rf + beta (Risk premium on factor)
PORTFOLIO A
19% = 11% + 1.7(RP)
19% - 11% = 1.7(RP)
(RP) = 0.08/1.7
(RP) = 0.047059
(RP) = 4.706%
PORTFOLIO B
15% = 11% + 0.6(RP)
15% - 11% = 0.6(RP)
(RP) = 0.04/0.6
(RP) = 0.06667
(RP) = 6.667%
As risk premium is lower in case of portfolio A, the correct strategy is Short Position in Portfolio A and Long Position in Portfolio B

A rational buyer will: buy a product until the marginal benefit of consuming the product is less than the price of the product. buy the product only when the marginal benefit of consuming the product is twice as much as the price of the product. not consider costs versus benefits when purchasing a product. keep buying a product until marginal benefit equals price.
Answer:
keep buying a product until marginal benefit equals price
Explanation:
A rational consumer would continue to consume a product until the marginal benefit of the last unit consumed equal marginal cost. At this point, utility is maximised.
For example, if the price of a bottle of water is $4. The utility you derive from the first bottle is 6. So you consume one more bottle, the utility you derive from the second bottle is 5. you buy a third bottle. The utility you derive from the 3rd bottle is 4. At this point utility is maximised and you should stop consuming more water
If you consume a 4th bottle, the utility you would derive from it would be 3 utils. This doesn't make sense because you are paying more for the bottle when compared to the utility you would derive from it
Problem 4-8 Sales and Growth [LO2] The most recent financial statements for Alexander Co. are shown here: Income Statement Balance Sheet Sales $ 42,950 Current assets $ 17,580 Long-term debt $ 37,070 Costs 35,550 Fixed assets 68,350 Equity 48,860 Taxable income $ 7,400 Total $ 85,930 Total $ 85,930 Taxes (21%) 1,554 Net income $ 5,846 Assets and costs are proportional to sales. The company maintains a constant 35 percent dividend payout ratio and a constant debt-equity ratio. What is the maximum dollar increase in sales that can be sustained assuming no new equity is issued
Answer:
$3,621.96
Explanation:
ROE = Net income/Equity * 100
ROE = 5846/48860*100
ROE = 11.9648%
Dividend payout ratio = 35%
Retention Ratio = 1 - 35% = 65%
Sustainable growth rate = (ROE*b)/(1-ROE*b)
Sustainable growth rate = (11.9648%*0.65)/(1- (11.9648%*0.65%))
Sustainable growth rate = 8.43%
Therefore, Maximum Dollar Increase in sales = Sales * Sustainable growth rate = 42,950 * 8.43% = $3,621.96

b) The balance sheet shows the balances of assets, liabilities and equity at the end of an accounting period. It derives its name from the accounting equation, which states that assets = liabilities + equity. This equation implies that the two sides always balance each other.
1. A manager uses the following equation to predict monthly receipts: Y=450+10t time in weeks and y = receipts.) What is the forecast for July 14th if t=4 is the fourth week in January and t = 6 is February 14th of the same year (assume there are 4 weeks in each month)?
a. 690
b. 710
c. 730
d. 750
2. A major reason that decision making is often not such a rational process is that there are: Suppose we have H0:µ1= µ2 versus HA: µ1 ≠ µ2, with level of significance of α =.05 and critical values of zα/2 = ± 1.96, and the computed Test Statistics value of Z = -1.07. What is our decision?
Answer:
1. 690
2. Do not reject the null hypothesis.
Explanation:
1. Month t
At the end of Feb 6
March 4
April 4
May 4
June 2
14th of July 2
Total 24
Therefore on 14th July, t = 24
Forecast: Y = 450+10t = 450 + 10*24 = 450+240 = 690
2. Options are "a. Reject the null hypothesis. b. Do not reject the null hypothesis. c. Take a larger sample. d. Reserve judgment"
In general, if test statistic is more extreme than the critical values at given level of significance then we reject the null hypothesis otherwise we do not reject the null hypothesis.
Here, test statistic for the given two tailed test is Z = -1.07 and critical value at level of significance α = 0.5 is ± 1.96 . Since -1.96<Z<1.96, we can say that we do not reject Null Hypothesis as the test statistic is not extreme than the critical value at given level of significance.
M. K. Gallant is president of Kranbrack Corporation, a company whose stock is traded on a national exchange. In a meeting with investment analysts at the beginning of the year, Gallant had predicted that the company’s earnings would grow by 20% this year. Unfortunately, sales have been less than expected for the year, and Gallant concluded within two weeks of the end of the fiscal year that it would be impossible to report an increase in earnings as large as predicted unless some drastic action was taken. Accordingly, Gallant has ordered that wherever possible, expenditures should be postponed to the new year—including canceling or postponing orders with suppliers, delaying planned maintenance and training, and cutting back on end-of-year advertising and travel. Additionally, Gallant ordered the company’s controller to carefully scrutinize all costs that are currently classified as period costs and reclassify as many as possible as product costs. The company is expected to have substantial inventories at the end of the year.
1. Why would reclassifying period costs as product costs increase this period’s reported earnings?
2. Do you believe Gallant’s actions are ethical? Why or why not?

Jamie is considering leaving her current job, which pays $75,000 per year, to start a new company that develops applications for smartphones. Based on market research, she can sell about 50,000 units during the first year at a price of $4 per unit. With annual overhead costs and operating expenses amounting to $145,000. Jamie expects a profit margin of 20 percent. This margin is 5 percent larger than that of her largest competitor, Apps. Inc.
a. If Jamie decides to embark on her new venture, What will her accounting cost be during the first year of operation? Her implicit costs? Her opportunity costs?
Accounting costs: $_____
Implicit costs: $_____
Opportunity costs: $_____
b. Suppose that Jamie's estimated selling price is lower than originally projected during the first year. How much revenue would she need in order to earn positive accounting profits? Positive economic profits?
Revenue needed to earn positive accounting profits: $______
Revenue needed to earn positive economic profits:
Answer:
Follows are the solution to the given points:
Explanation:
For point A:
Cost with accounting=The actual manufacturing expenditures or spendings that appear on expensive sports or record of a company= [tex]\$ 145,000[/tex]
[tex]\text{Costs = gross pay} = 50000 \times 4 - 1.2 \times1,45,000 = 26000\\\\{ total \ cost = 120 \% \ of\ 145,000}[/tex]
Cost opportunity=75,000
Total revenue required besides positive accounting benefits=cost of accounting =145000
Income to create positive economic benefits=cost of accounts + implied cost
[tex]= 145000+26000=171000[/tex]
For point B:
Income required to make positive profit in accounts = 145,000 more than the accounting costs
Revenue necessary to earn positive profit = 220,000 more than opportunity cost
