In response to the economic crisis in 2008, President Merkel "highlighted in her speech what the German government has already done: a financial sector rescue package worth up to €500 billion, and a proposed stimulus package of tax breaks [on income] and spending measures aimed at triggering investments of up to €50 billion over the next two years." Which parts of the stimulus plan will increase labor supply?
Answer:
Chancellor Merkel's proposed stimulus consisted of two parts:
a financial rescue package worth €500 billion (which I personally believe only helped bankers but didn't increase labor supply)tax breaks and investment measures worth €50 billionThe only part of the stimulus package that would actually help to increase labor supply is the last part, which also is the smallest part, since it should have increased investments. When investment increases, the interest rates decrease and aggregate demand increases. As aggregator demand increases, the demand for labor also increases. An increase in the demand for labor results in higher wages, which in turn increases labor supply until an equilibrium is reached.
Governments generally rescue financial institutions arguing that they are really important to the economy, but what is really amazing and repeats itself all over the world is that the same governments favor free markets. When small businesses fail, governments do not care, and small businesses represent 99% of America's companies. Governments only start caring when rich people lose money, since free market rules only apply to them when they favor them. If free market rules do not favor the rich, they are bad and governments intervene.
Use the net FUTA tax rate of 0.6% on the first $7,000 of taxable wages. Queno Company had FUTA taxable wages of $510,900 during the year. Determine its: (Round your answers to two decimal places.) a. gross FUTA tax $ . b. FUTA tax credits (assuming no penalties) $ . c. net FUTA tax

Suppose the most you would be willing to pay to have a freshly washed car before going out on a date is $8.00. The smallest amount for which you would be willing to wash someone else's car is $5.50. You are going out this evening and your car is dirty. How much economic surplus would you receive from washing it
Answer:
1. The most you would be willing to pay for having a freshly washed car before going out on a
date is $6. The smallest amount for which you would be willing to wash someone else's car is
$3.50. You are going out this evening, and your car is dirty. How much economic surplus
would you receive from washing it?
The economic surplus from washing your dirty car is the benefit you receive from doing so ($6)
minus your cost of doing the job ($3.50), or $2.50.
2. To earn extra money in the summer, you grow tomatoes and sell them at the farmers' market
for 30 cents per pound. By adding compost to your garden, you can increase your yield as

money as possible, how many pounds of compost should you add?

6 131.5 0.50 0.5 0.15 6.45 - 0.35
The benefit of adding a pound of compost is the extra revenue you’ll get from the extra tomatoes
that result. The cost of adding a pound of compost is 50 cents. By adding the fourth pound of
compost you’ll get 2 extra pounds of tomatoes, or 60 cents in extra revenue, which more than
covers the 50-cent cost of the extra pound of compost. But adding the fifth pound of compost
gives only 1 extra pound of tomatoes, so the corresponding revenue increase (30 cents) is less than
the cost of the compost. You should add 4 pounds of compost and no more.
3. Residents of your city are charged a fixed weekly fee of $6 for garbage collection. They are
allowed to put out as many cans as they wish. The average household disposes of three cans of
garbage per week under this plan. Now suppose that your city changes to a "tag" system. Each
can of refuse to be collected must have a tag affixed to it. The tags cost $2 each and are not
reusable. What effect do you think the introduction of the tag system will have on the total
quantity of garbage collected in your city? Explain briefly.
In the first case, the cost is $6/week no matter how many cans you put out, so the cost of
disposing of an extra can of garbage is $0. Under the tag system, the cost of putting out an extra
can is $2, regardless of the number of the cans. Since the relevant costs are higher under the tag
system, we would expect this system to reduce the number of cans collected.
Explanation:
What is the coupon rate for a bond with 3 years until maturity, a price of $1,053.46, and a yield to maturity of 6%? Interest is paid annually.
Answer:
Coupon rate is 8%
Explanation:
We can ascertain the coupon rate by first of all determine the amount of coupon with pmt excel function below:
=pmt(rate,nper,-pv,fv)
rate is yield to maturity of 6%
nper is the number of coupons before maturity i.e 3 annual coupons in three years
pv is the current market price of $1,053.46
fv is the par value of $1,000
=pmt(6%,3,-1053.46,1000)=80
Coupon rate=pmt/face value=80/1000=8%
An investor buys a 10-year, 7% coupon bond for $1,050, holds it for 1 year, and then sells it for $1,040. What was the investor's rate of return?
Answer:
The answer is 5.71%
Explanation:
Solution
Given that
Coupon rate = 7%
Bond = $1050
Sale of the bond = $1040
n = 10 years, n = 1 year
Now we find the investor's rate of return
Thus
Coupon payment = 7%* 1000
=70
1050 = 70/(1+r) + $1,040/(1+r)
r= 5.71%
Therefore the rate of return of the investor is 5.71%
or
Rate of return = (P1-P0+ Interest ) /P0
= (1040 -1050 + 70 )/1050
= .0571 or 5.71%

Jay Seago is suing the manufacturer of his car for $3.5 million because of a defect that he believes caused him to have an accident. The accident kept him out of work for a year. The company has offered him a settlement of $700,000, of which Jay would receive $600,000 after attorneys’ fees. His attorney has advised him that he has a 50% chance of winning his case. If he loses, he will incur attorneys’ fees and court costs of $75,000. If he wins, he is not guaranteed his full requested settlement. His attorney believes that there is a 50% chance he could receive the full settlement, in which case Jay would realize $2 million after his attorney takes her cut, and a 50% chance that the jury will award him a lesser amount of $1 million, of which Jay would get $500,000. Using decision tree analysis, decide whether Jay should proceed with his lawsuit against the manufacturer.
Answer:
Since the expected value is higher for not suing ($600,000), then Jay should not sue. The expected value of the best case scenario in case of suing is only $500,000 and in the expected value of the worst case scenario is -$37,500.

2014 ending inventory was overstated by $25,000, but it was too late to correct the financial statements. Which of the following describes the effect of the inventory error on the 2014 financial statements?A. Net income and stockholders' equity are both understated.
B. Net income is understated and stockholders' equity is correct.
C. Net income and stockholders' equity are both overstated.
D. Net income and stockholders' equity are both unaffected.
Answer:
C. Net income and stockholders' equity are both overstated.
Explanation:
In the income statement , ending inventory is deducted from the addition of the beginning inventory and net purchases to arrive at the cost of goods sold. Therefore, the cost of goods can be stated as an equation stated as follows:
Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + Net purchases - Ending inventory
From the above equation, it can be observed that if the ending inventory is overstated, cost of goods sold will be understated by that amount.
Since gross income is determined by deducting cost of goods sold from the net sales, an understated cost of goods sold will result in an overstated gross income and subsequently overstated net income.
Since net income is one of the components of the stockholders' equity, an overstated net income will leads to an overstated stockholders' equity.
Therefore, the correct option is C. Net income and stockholders' equity are both overstated.
Holdup Bank has an issue of preferred stock with a $6 stated dividend that just sold for $93 per share. What is the bank's cost of preferred stock

If a small electric automobile manufacturer is able to gain the social return generated by its electric motor, its demand for financial capital would
Answer: shift to the left
Explanation:
The social return helps in comparing the value of benefits and the costs to achieving the benefits. The social return is the ratio of net present value of the benefits in comparison to the net present value of the investment or the costs to getting the benefits.
In this case, if a small electric automobile manufacturer is able to gain the social return generated by its electric motor, it would decrease the demand for financial capital which simply means that the demand for financial capital will shift to the left. This shift to the left is as a result of the gain in its social return gotten by the electric motor.

Answer:
The answer is B. Increasing
Explanation:
An increasing-cost industry is an industry whose costs for production increase as more companies compete.
Why is this so? - This is because each new company in the industry increases its demand for supplies and factors needed for production.
A decreasing‐cost industry is one where costs of production reduces as the industry expands.
At the beginning of the year, Ann and Becky own equally all of the stock of Whitman, Inc., an S corporation. Whitman generates a $120,000 loss for the year. On the 189th day of the year, Ann sells her half of the Whitman stock to her son, Scott. Becky's stock basis is $41,300. How much of the Whitman loss belongs to Ann and Becky
Answer:
Becky's loss = $60,000
Ann's loss = $31,068
Explanation:
Assuming a 365 day year, the loss allocation should be as follows:
Ann (then Scott) 50% x $120,000 = $60,000Becky 50% x $120,000 = $60,000From the 50% that corresponds to Ann:

Answer:
This is an example of barter
Explanation:
Barter in trade, is a term used to describe a system of exchange where goods and services are exchanged for other goods or services directly. It is used most often in international trading, when there is a financial crisis, or when currency is unstable.
Barter is advantageous when money is in short supply, and when traders cannot afford to store a short supply of money, especially during hyperinflation.
However, there are some challenges with barter, which includes:
that both parties might not have what each other need in goods (double coincidence of wants), there is no common measure of value and indivisibility of certain goods when only half the worth is to be exchanged.
Mountain Lake Corporation's accounting records show the following at year-end December 31, 2014:
Purchase Discounts $7,230 Beginning Inventory $32,660
Freight-In 8,730 Ending Inventory 29,170
Freight-Out 12,260 Purchase Returns and Allowances 4,190
Purchases 164,250
Assuming that Mountain Lake Corporation uses the periodic system, compute the cost of goods purchased and cost of goods sold.
1. Cost of goods purchased$=?
2. Cost of goods sold$=?
Answer:
Cost of goods purchased= $161,560
Cost of goods sold= $165,050
Explanation:
1. Cost of goods purchased (net) = Purchases - Purchase discount - purchase returns and allowances + Freight in
= $164,250 - $7,230 - $4,190 + $8,730
=$161,560
2. Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + Net purchase - Ending inventory
= $32,660 + $161,560 - $29,170
= $165,050

Answer:
The required adjusting entry at the end of year 3 will include a debit to:
Supplies Expenses Account of $43,500 ($8,000 + 50,000 - 14,500), and a credit to Supplies Account in the sum of $43,500.
Explanation:
Adjusting entries are made at the end of an accounting period to bring the accounts in line with the accrual concept, which requires that expenses and revenue should be recognized in the period they are incurred or earned.
This implies that transactions should not be based solely on when cash is received or payment made. Expenses incurred but not yet paid should be recognized in the accounts of the period. Revenue earned but not yet received in cash should be accounted for in the period when the revenue is earned. Expenses paid in advance should not be recognized in determining net income. Revenue collected but not yet earned should not be included in the period's accounts for determining net income. Finally, non-cash expenses (depreciation) should be recognized in the period they are incurred.
Initially, Eleanor earns a salary of $200 per year and Darnell earns a salary of $100 per year. Eleanor lends Darnell $50 for one year at an annual interest rate of 16% with the expectation that the rate of inflation will be 5% during the one-year life of the loan. At the end of the year, Darnell makes good on the loan by paying Eleanor $58. Consider how the loan repayment affects Eleanor and Darnell under the following scenarios. Scenario 1: Suppose all prices and salaries rise by 5% (as expected) over the course of the year. In the following table, find Eleanor's and Darnell's new salaries after the 5% increase, and then calculate the $58 payment as a percentage of their new salaries. (Hint: Remember that Eleanor's salary is her income from work and that it does not include the loan payment from Darnell.) Value of Eleanor's new salary after one year The $58 payment as a percentage of Eleanor's new salary Value of Darnell's new salary after one year The $58 payment as a percentage of Darnell's new salary Scenario 2: Consider an unanticipated increase in the rate of inflation. The rise in prices and salaries turns out to be 14% over the course of the year rather than 5%. In the following table, find Eleanor's and Darnell's new salaries after the 14% increase, and then calculate the $58 payment as a percentage of their new salaries. Value of Eleanor's new salary after one year The $58 payment as a percentage of Eleanor's new salary Value of Darnell's new salary after one year The $58 payment as a percentage of Darnell's new salary An unanticipated increase in the rate of inflation benefits______ and harms_____ .
Answer:
Scenario 1: Suppose all prices and salaries rise by 5% (as expected) over the course of the year. In the following table, find Eleanor's and Darnell's new salaries after the 5% increase, and then calculate the $58 payment as a percentage of their new salaries.
Eleanor's new salary = $200 x 1.05 = $210
Darnell's new salary = $100 x 1.05 = $105
the $58 payment represents:
$58 / $210 = 27.62% of Eleanor's new salary
$58 / $105 = 55.24% of Darnell's new salary
Scenario 2: Consider an unanticipated increase in the rate of inflation. The rise in prices and salaries turns out to be 14% over the course of the year rather than 5%. In the following table, find Eleanor's and Darnell's new salaries after the 14% increase, and then calculate the $58 payment as a percentage of their new salaries.
Eleanor's new salary = $200 x 1.14 = $228
Darnell's new salary = $100 x 1.14 = $114
the $58 payment represents:
$58 / $228 = 25.44% of Eleanor's new salary
$58 / $114 = 50.88% of Darnell's new salary
An unanticipated increase in the rate of inflation benefits Darnell and harms Eleanor.

The Dividend Valuation Model(DVM) is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the value of an asset is the sum of the present values of the future cash flows would that arise from the asset discounted at the required rate of return.
This model would be applied as follows:
Year Present Value ( PV)
1 3 × 1.3 × 1.1^(-1) = 3.5454
2 3 × 1.3^2 × 1.1^(-2) = 4.1900
3 3 × 1.3^3 × 1.1^(-3) = 4.9519
Total 12.6874
Year 4 and beyond
This will be done in two steps
Step 1
D× (1+g)/k-g
3 × 1.3^4/(0.1-0.08)
=428.415
Step 2
Present Value in year 0
=428.415 × 1.1^(-3) = 321.87
Total present value = 12.6874 + 321.87 = 334.56

Magic Realm, Inc., has developed a new fantasy board game. The company sold 48,500 games last year at a selling price of $61 per game. Fixed expenses associated with the game total $873,000 per year, and variable expenses are $41 per game. Production of the game is entrusted to a printing contractor. Variable expenses consist mostly of payments to this contractor. Required: 1-a. Prepare a contribution format income statement for the game last year. 1-b. Compute the degree of operating leverage. 2. Management is confident that the company can sell 60,625 games next year (an increase of 12,125 games, or 25%, over last year). Given this assumption: a. What is the expected percentage increase in net operating income for next year? b. What is the expected amount of net operating income for next year? (Do not prepare an income statement; use the degree of operating leverage to compute your answer.)
Answer:
1a.
Contribution format income statement for the game last year
Sales ( 48,500 games × $61) $2,958,500
Less Variable Expenses ( 48,500 games × $41) ($1,988,500)
Contribution $970,000
Less Fixed Costs ($873,000)
Net Income / (loss) $97,000
1b. 10.00
2a. 250%
2b. $339,500
Explanation:
Contribution Income Statement : Shows Separately the Variable Costs and Fixed Cost
Degree of operating leverage = Contribution / EBIT
= $970,000 / $97,000
= 10.00
Increase in net operating income = Degree of operating leverage × Percentage Increase in Sales
= 10.00 × 25%
= 250%
Expected amount of net operating income = Last Year`s net operating income × 3.5
= $97,000 × 3.5
= $339,500
Explain how the Federal Reserve Board can increase or decrease the money supply using each of the following tools: reserve requirements, open-market activities, and discount rates
Answer:
Reserve requirements – Reserve requirement increases to decrease the money supply or vice versa.
Open-market activities – the Fed sell the securities to reduce money supply or purchase it to increase the money supply.
Discount rates – Decrease the discount rate to increase the money supply or vice versa.
Explanation:
The Federal Reserve increases or decreases the money supply by using various tools. So in the case of the reserve requirement, the bank increases the percentage of reserve requirement if the Fed wants to decrease the money supply and to increase the money supply it reduces the reserve requirements. In the case of open market operations, the Fed sells securities and bonds in the market in order to reduce the supply of money or to decrease the supply of money it buys the securities from the market.
In the case of a discount rate, the Fed reduces the discount rate to increase the money supply because reducing the discount rate will induce the banks to give more loans. But to decrease the money supply, the Fed increases the discount rate because an increase in the discount rate reduces the ability of banks to give loans.

In 2017, Costello Company performs work for a customer and bills the customer $10,000; it also pays expenses of $3,000. The customer pays Costello in 2018. If Costello uses the accrual-basis of accounting, then Costello will report:_____
a. revenue of $10,000 in 2018.
b. revenue of $10,000 in 2017.
c. net income of $7,000 in 2018.
d. expenses of $3,000 in 2018.
Answer: revenue of $10,000 in 2017
Explanation:
Accrual basis of accounting is a method that is used in accounting whereby the revenue or expenses have to be recorded when the transaction is made and not when the payment dor the transaction is made or received.
Since we are told that Costello Company performs work for a customer and bills the customer $10,000 in 2017, therefore if Costello uses the accrual-basis of accounting, then Costello will report revenue of $10,000 in 2017.
