Answer:
total costs plus a margin of profit.
Explanation:
The price of an item is calculated by including the total cost and profit margin.
Here total cost includes both fixed cost and the variable cost i.e to be incurred and without profit margin, no one could send their product. For maximising your profit and maintaining the price you have to lowered your production cost so that it can be met with the competitor price or it should be less than it
hence, the last option is correct
Assume that Clampett, Inc., has $390,000 of sales, $340,000 of cost of goods sold, $250,000 of interest income, and $230,000 of dividends. What is Clampett, Inc.'s excess net passive income
Answer:
Clampett, Inc.'s excess net passive income is $262,500.
Explanation:
First we need to calculate the Gross Receipt
Gross Receipt
Sales $390,000
Interest Income $250,000
Dividend $230,000
Gross receipts $870,000
25% of Gross receipt = $870,000 x 25% = $217,500
Now Calculate the passive income
Interest Income $250,000
Dividend $230,000
Passive Income $480,000
Now calculate the excess passive income
Excess passive income = Passive income - 25% of gross receipt
Excess passive income = $480,000 - $217,500 = $262,500
OJ's Orange Juice produces orange juice to sell in a competitive market.Given uncertainty in weather patterns, OJ has to determine how much juice to produce before knowing the competitive price. It is estimated that there is a 10 percent chance the competitive price will be $5 and a 90 percent chance the price will be $2. If the marginal cost of producing orange juice is MC(Q) = 2Q, then to maximize expected profits, OJ should produce:__________.a- 0.25 units. b- 2.5 units. c- 1.15 units. d- 0.9 units.
Answer:
c- 1.15 units.
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Expected price at 10 percent = $5 * 10% = $0.5
Expected price at 90 percent = $2 * 90% = $1.80
Total expected price (EP) = $0.5 + $1.80 = $2.3
Since profit is maximized when EP = MC, we have:
2.3 = 2Q
Q = 2.3 / 2 = 1.15
Therefore, OJ should produce 1.15 units to maximize expected profit. The correction is therefore c- 1.15 units.

A bond par value is $1,000 and the coupon rate is 4.3 percent. The bond price was $945.46 at the beginning of the year and $976.26 at the end of the year. The inflation rate for the year was 2.2 percent. What was the bond's real return for the year
Answer:
The bond's real return for the year was 5.49%
Explanation:
In order to calculate the bond's real return for the year we would have to calculate the following formula:
bond's real return for the year=(1+Nominal rate of return)/(1+Inflation) -1
According to the given data Inflation=2.2 percent
To calculate the Nominal rate of return we would have to calculate the following:
Nominal rate of return=(Selling price + Interest coupon - Purchase price)/Purchase price
According to the given data:
Selling price=$976.26
Interest coupon=$43
Purchase price=$945.46
Therefore, Nominal rate of return=($976.26 + $43 - $945.46)/ $945.46
Nominal rate of return=7.81%
Therefore, bond's real return for the year= (1+7.81%)/(1+2.2%) -1
bond's real return for the year=5.49%
The bond's real return for the year was 5.49%
1. Write about whether or not you believe productivity would go up, down, or stay the same in an enterprise where the workers are owners versus a traditional workplace. How would this affect GDP, inflation, and other macroeconomic variables
Answer:
Productivy would go up only as long as some of the workers can become competent managers.
Explanation:
The problem with worker ownership of the means of production (the firm), which is what socialism is about, is that workers do not necessarily have managerial skill, and as result, are likely to be unable to run the company efficiently.
In case this does not happen, and the workers manage to run the company well, GDP would increase because productivity in the firm would rise. Inflation would likely fall down because more productivity means more output of goods and services, and inflation tends to have a inverse relationship with output (although it also depends on other variables like the rate of growth of the money supply).
Finally, another macroeconomic variable that would positively affected is employment rate, because a more efficient company would likely require new workers.

September 470 4,050
October 350 3,300
November 340 3,160
December 320 3,030
A) To calculate the fixed and variable costs, we need to use the following formulas:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (4,470 - 2,820) / (520 - 300)
Variable cost per unit= $7.5
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 4,470 - (7.5*520)
Fixed costs= $570
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 2,820 - (7.5*300)
Fixed costs= $570
B)
Total cost= 570 + 7.5x
x= hours of mantainance
C) x= 590
Total cost= 570 + 7.5*590
TC= $4,995
D) x= 600
Total cost= 570 + 7.5*600
TC= $5,070

On January 1, the Matthews Band pays $66,600 for sound equipment. The band estimates it will use this equipment for five years and perform 200 concerts. It estimates that after five years it can sell the equipment for $2,000. During the first year, the band performs 55 concerts. Compute the first-year depreciation using the units-of-production method.
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $17,765
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Original cost= $66,600
Number of units= 200
Salvage value= $2,000
During the first year, the band performs 55 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= [(66,600 - 2,000)/200]*55
Annual depreciation= $17,765
Due to use, wear and tear, the monetary worth of an object decreases with time. Depreciation is the term used to describe this reduction.

Assume that you are 30 years old today, and that you are planning on retirement at age 65. You expect your salary to be $42,000 one year from now and you also expect your salary to increase at a rate of 5% per year as long as you work. To save for your retirement, you plan on making annual contributions to a retirement account. Your first contribution will be made on your 31st birthday and will be 8% of this year's salary. Likewise, you expect to deposit 8% of your salary each year until you reach age 65. Assume that the rate of interest is 9%. The present value (PV) (at age 30) of your retirement savings is closest to
Answer:
$50,855.62
Explanation:
I prepared an excel spreadsheet to determine the yearly contributions to the plan and their future value.
once you reach 65 years, your retirement account should have $1,038,165. Now we need to determine the present value = $1,038,165 / (1 + 9%)³⁵ = $50,855.62
Firm L has debt with a market value of $200,000 and a yield of 9%. The firm's equity has a market value of $300,000, its earnings are growing at a rate of 5%, and its tax rate is 40%. A similar firm with no debt has a cost of equity of 12%. Under the MM extension with growth, what is Firm L's cost of equity?
Answer:
Firm L's cost of equity is 13.2%
Explanation:
In order to calculate Firm L's cost of equity we would have to calculate the following formula:
Firm L's cost of equity=Unlevered cost of equity+D/E*( Unlevered cost of equity-cost of debt)*(1-tax rate)
D/E = debt/equity
D/E = $200,000/$300,000
D/E=0.6666
Therefore, Firm L's cost of equity= 12%+0.6666*(12%-9%)*(1-0.4)
Firm L's cost of equity=13.2%
Firm L's cost of equity is 13.2%

Rick prepared financial statements for MegaCorp knowing that it was going to use his statements to apply for a loan with Big Bank. When Big Bank turned MegaCorp down, it applied to Fourth Bank for a loan. MegaCorp presented the statements prepared by Rick to Fourth Bank which gave the company a loan. It was discovered that Rick was negligent in preparing the statements, and Fourth Bank sued Rick. Under which of the following tests is Rick liable?
a. Ultramares doctrine
b. Foreseeable doctrine
c. Restatement doctrine
d. Both the foreseeable doctrine and the Restatement doctrine
Answer:
The correct answer is the option D: Both the foreseeable doctrine and the restatement doctrine.
Explanation:
On the one hand, the foreseeable doctrine dictates that there is a limit in the liability of party for those acts that he has done and that carry a risk of foreseeable harm. Therefore that this point of view establishes that a reasonable person would be able to understand and so to know when a certain action would bring certain damages to another party.
On the oher hand, the restatement doctrine establishes that there are a set of treatises on legal subjects that primarily are looking for to inform judges and lawyers about general principles of common law. And therefore that those treatises will help both the judge and the lawyers at the time of the trial when the person has to go to court.

On October 1, 2018, Holt Company places a new asset into service. The cost of the asset is $120000 with an estimated 5-year life and $30000 salvage value at the end of its useful life. What is the book value of the plant asset on the December 31, 2018, balance sheet assuming that Holt Company uses the double-declining-balance method of depreciation
Answer:
$108,000
Explanation:
For computing the book value first we have to determine the depreciation expense using the double declining method which is shown below:
First we have to find the depreciation rate which is shown below:
= One ÷ useful life
= 1 ÷ 5
= 20%
Now the rate is double So, 40%
In year 1, the original cost is $120,000, so the depreciation is $48,000 after applying the 40% depreciation rate
Now the 3 months depreciation i,e (Oct 1 to Dec 31)
= $48,000 × 3 months ÷ 12 months
= $12,000
So, the book value is
= Purchase cost - depreciation expense
= $120,000 - $12,000
= $108,000

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.
