Answer:
The answer is The U.S has a negative net exports with Australia and trade deficit with Australia
Explanation:
Net exports is the difference between the total value of a nation's exports and the nation's imports.
Net exports are positive when exports are greater(Australia)than imports and negative when exports are less than imports(The U.S). Also, positive net export number indicates a trade surplus, while a negative number means a trade deficit.

Suppose that in 2017, a typical U.S. student attending a state-supported college bought 10 textbooks at a price of $110 per book and enrolled in 30 credit hours of coursework at a price of $350 per credit hour. In 2018, the typical student continued to purchase 10 textbooks and enroll in 30 credit hours, but the price of a textbook rose to $120 per book, and the tuition price increased to $390 per credit hour. The base year for computing a "student price index" using this information is 2017.
Required:
What is the value of the student price index in 2017? In 2018? Show your work.
Answer:
2017 Price Index is 1002018 Price Index is 111Explanation:
The Price Index for any given Base year is always 100. 2017 is staed to be the base year so it's price index is 100.
2018
The Student Price Index can be calculated using the formula;
SPI = [tex]\frac{cost of basket of goods in the year of interest}{Cost of the basket of goods in the base year} * 100[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{(10 * 120) + (30* 390)}{(10 * 110) + (30 * 350)}[/tex] * 100
= [tex]\frac{12,900}{11,600} * 100[/tex]
= 111.21
= 111
During the month of July, Clanton Industries issued a check in the amount of $934 to a supplier on account. The check did not clear the bank during July. In preparing the July 31 bank reconciliation, the company should:
Answer: deduct the check amount from the bank balance
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that during the month of July, Clanton Industries issued a check in the amount of $934 to a supplier on account but the check did not clear the bank during July.
Since we are told that the check did not clear the bank in July, when preparing the July 31 bank reconciliation, the company should make sure that the amount on the check is deducted from the balance of the bank.
According to the liquidity premium theory of the term structure of interest rates, if the one-year bond rate is expected to be 4%, 5%, and 6% over each of the next three years, what is the interest rate on a three-year bond if the liquidity premium on a three-year bond is 0.5%
Answer:
Interest rate on the a three year bond =5.5%
Explanation:
one-year bond rate expected = 4%, 5%, 6% for the next three years
liquidity premium on a three year bond = 0.5%
number of years = 3
The interest rate on the a three year bond can be calculated as
= liquidity premium + ( summation of bond rates for the next three years/number of years )
= 0.5 + ( (4+5+6)/3)
= 0.5 + ( 15/3)
= 0.5 + 5 = 5.5%
The specifications for a plastic liner for a concrete highway project calls for thickness of 5.0 mmplus or minus±0.10 mm. The standard deviation of the process is estimated to be 0.02 mm.  
The upper specification limit for this product​ = ? mm ​(round your response to three decimal​places).
The lower specification limit for this product = ? mm (round to three decimal palces)
The process capability index (CPk) = ? (round to three decimal places)
The upper specification lies about ? standard deviations from the centerline (mean thickness)
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Upper specification limit is
= 5 + 0.1
= 5.1 mm
Lower specification limit is
= 5- 0.1
= 4.9 mm
The process cabability index is
= min(USL - mean ÷ 3 × standard deviation , mean - LSL ÷ 3 × standard deviation)
= min((0.1 ÷ 3 ×0.02) , (0.1 ÷ 3 × 0.02))
= min(1.67,1.67)
= 1.67
Since Upper specification is 5.1 mm
And, the Mean line is 5 mm
So, the upper specification lies at a distance for
= 5.1 - 5
= 0.1 mm
Standard deviation is 0.02 mm
Hence, upper specification lies at
= 0.1 ÷ 0.02
= 5
This standard deviation from the means

Price Manufacturing assigns overhead based on machine hours. The Milling Department logs 1,800 machine hours and Cutting Department shows 3,000 machine hours for the period. If the overhead rate is $5 per machine hour, the entry to assign overhead will show a:
Answer and Explanation:
The Journal entry is shown below:-
Work in progress Dr, $24,000
To Manufacturing Overhead $24,000
(Being the overhead assigned is recorded)
For recording this we debited the work in process as it increased the assets and credited the manufacturing overhead for assigning the overhead
Working note
Overhead amount = (Milling Department + Cutting department) × Overhead rate
= (1,800 + 3,000) × $5
= $4,800 × $5
= $24,000
g "If a product sells for $22, variable costs are $12 and fixed costs are $280,000, what would total sales have to be in order to break-even?"
Answer:
$616,061
Explanation:
The computation of the break even sales is shown below:
As we know that
Break even point = (Fixed expenses) ÷ (Profit volume Ratio)
where,
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable expense per unit
= $22 - $12
= $10
And, Profit volume ratio = (Contribution margin per unit) ÷ (selling price per unit) × 100
So, the Profit volume ratio = (10) ÷ (22) × 100 = 45.45%
And, the fixed expenses is $280,000
Now put these values to the above formula
So, the value would equal to
= ($280,000) ÷ (45.45%)
= $616,061

is NOT part of the enterprise environmental factors?
✓
A) Lessons learned from previous projects
B) The work authorization system
C) Government and industry standards that affect your project
D) Knowledge of which departments in your company typically work on projects
Answer: A) Lessons learned from previous projects
Explanation:
Enterprise Environmental Factors (EEF) refers to all environmental factors that have a say in whether a project is successful or not. They include both internal factors such as company infrastructure, knowledge and capability (departments with the knowledge on project design and implementation) and internal project authorization systems as well as external factors such as Government standards and market conditions.
Lessons learned from previous projects, while important, are not included in this list and are not Enterprise Environmental Factors.
As a firm buys more capital and less labor, the marginal physical product of capital __________ and the marginal physical product of labor __________, assuming the law of diminishing marginal returns has set in for each factor.
Answer:
As a firm buys more capital and less labor, the marginal physical product of capital ___decreases_______ and the marginal physical product of labor ___increases______, assuming the law of diminishing marginal returns has set in for each factor.
Explanation:
In Economics, the law of diminishing returns states that when one production input is increased while the other input is held constant, the marginal production per the increasing input will decrease relatively to the marginal production of the fixed input.
Effectively, this economic law recognizes that increasing one input while allowing the other inputs to be constant will produce diminishing increase in total output. This law is also called the principle of diminishing marginal productivity. It is very helpful in decision making to enable management balance production inputs in order to achieve maximum outcomes.
One problem that communication, learning, and employee involvement have in minimizing resistance to change is that they:__________.
Answer: D. Are Time Consuming
Explanation:
Communication, Teaching employees and involving them in policies are very useful tools in reducing employee resistance to trade but they can be quite time consuming. Having to communicate explain every change to employees, why it is to be done and how it will be of benefit will take time that could have been spent producing results.
Also involving them in key decision making can have the same temporal effect because the decisions will have to go through more people than before to be approved. The process will become more bureaucratic.

The Silver Corporation uses a predetermined overhead rate to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs. The predetermined overhead rate is based on labor cost in Department A and on machine-hours in Department B. At the beginning of the year, the Corporation made the following estimates: Department A Department B Direct labor cost $ 60,000 $ 40,000 Manufacturing overhead $ 90,000 $ 45,000 Direct labor-hours 6,000 9,000 Machine-hours 2,000 15,000 What predetermined overhead rates would be used in Department A and Department B, respectively?
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Department A:
Direct labor cost= $60,000
Manufacturing overhead= $90,000
Department B:
Manufacturing overhead= $45,000
Machine-hours= 2,000
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Department A:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 90,000/60,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.5 per direct labor dollar
Department B:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 45,000/2,000= $22.4 per machine-hour

Explanation:
Preparation of the appropriate journal entry
Since we were told that kayakers pay the sum of $3,000 at $150 each, by adding to the $4,000 that was already paid in advance on July 30 this means we have to record the transaction by Debiting Cash with the amount of (3,000); Crediting Deferred Revenue with the amount of (4,000) and Crediting Service Revenue (Clinic) with the amount of (7,000)
Note that the credit side of the transaction which is Deferred Revenue of 4,000 -Service Revenue (Clinic) of 7,000 will give us (3,000)
Journal entry
Dr Cash (3,000)
Cr Deferred Revenue (4,000)
Cr Service Revenue (Clinic) (7,000)
Short-run aggregate supply is down sloping because producers supply less at higher prices. is up sloping because producers supply less at higher prices. shows how much Americans are willing and able to consume at each price level. shows the various amounts that producers are willing and able to produce at each price level. is up sloping because consumers demand more at higher prices.
Answer:
The correct answer is the fourth option: Shows the various amounts that producers are willing and able to produce at each price level.
Explanation:
To begin with, the concept of the "aggregate supply" represents in the economy field the total amount of output, understood as goods and services, that producers are willing and able to produce and sell at a stated price level in a certain amount of time. This term also involve three different time situations in which the short run aggregate supply curve is the one that is upward sloping because there is a relationship between the amount of the output that the sellers want to sell and the price of it.

Ward Doering Auto Sales is considering offering a special service contract that will cover the total cost of any service work required on leased vehicles. From experience, the company manager estimates that yearly service costs are approximately normally distributed, with a mean of $150 and a standard deviation of $25.
a. If the company offers the service contract to customers for a yearly charge of $200, what is the probability that any one customer’s service costs will exceed the contract price of $200?
b. What is Ward’s expected profit per service contract?
Answer:
a. The probability that any one customers service costs will exceed the contract price of $200 is 0.0228
b. Warda expected profit per service contract is $50
Explanation:
a. In order to calculate the probability that any one customers service costs will exceed the contract price of $200 we would have to calculate first the z value as follows:
z=x-μ/σ
z=$200-$150/$25
z=2
Therefore, probability that any one customers service costs will exceed the contract price of $200 is p(x>$200)=p(z>2)
=1-p(z≤2)
=1-0.9772
=0.0228
The probability that any one customers service costs will exceed the contract price of $200 is 0.0228
b. To calculate Warda expected profit per service contract we would have to make the following calculation:
Warda expected profit per service contract=service charge per contract-expected cost
Warda expected profit per service contract=$200-$150
Warda expected profit per service contract=$50
Warda expected profit per service contract is $50

The solution of the stock price is shown below:-
Stock price = Next year dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - Growth rate)
= $3.23 ÷ (12% - 3.6%)
= $38.45
So, we have solved the stock price with the help of above formula.
Assume that on January 1, 2015, a parent purchases a subsidiary with a book value of stockholders’ equity of $1,000,000 for $1,500,000. To finance the purchase, the parent issues 50,000 shares of its $1 par common stock having a market value of $30 per share and exchanges those shares with the sub’s stockholders for all of the sub’s voting shares that they own. At the date of acquisition, the sub’s book values approximated fair values except for two items. PP&E was undervalued by $200,000 and the sub had developed a patent internally that the parent estimates had a fair value of $175,000. The expected useful life of the patent is 10 years and the PP&E has a remaining useful life of 20 years. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the first year after the acquisition, the sub reported sales of $1,500,000; COGS was $900,000 and operating expenses were $390,000. The sub also paid a dividend of $31,500 to the parent. Using the Equity Method to account for the business combination both at, and subsequent to, the acquisition, determine the allocation of the excess fair value and make the appropriate journal entries to record the acquisition and 2015 activity.

Harvey is planning to file a case against a petrochemical giant that has a plant in his town. The petrochemical plant is dumping toxic wastes into its surrounding areas. Harvey is mobilizing the residents of the town, all of whom have suffered from various health problems due to the activities of the plant. Which of the following would be of most help to Harvey and the other residents?
A. Affirmative defense
B. Class action
C. Demurrer
D. Directed verdict
Answer:
B. Class action
Explanation:
In this scenario, Harvey is planning to file a case against a petrochemical giant that has a plant in his town because the petrochemical plant is dumping toxic wastes into its surrounding areas. Sequel to this, Harvey is mobilizing the residents of the town, all of whom have suffered from various health problems due to the activities of the plant.
Hence, a class action would be of most help to Harvey and the other residents.
In Law, a class action is a type of lawsuit in which a collective group of people (plaintiffs) having similar injuries or suffering similar damages caused by a particular company's product or action sue the defendant on behalf of a larger group. This simply means that, the group of people (plaintiffs) have a common interest as a result of sharing similar actions from an event.
Hence, the larger group that is being represented by Harvey is referred to as the "class" in business law.
Additionally, it is required by law that the class attest to the fact that they were affected by the actions of the petrochemical plant (defendant).

Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
First, compare the present values (PV) of all the expenses of all the investments to make an investment decision.
Given the formula of PV = ((C1/(1+r)1) + ((C2/(1+r)2) + ((C3/(1+r)3) +…….+ ((Cn/(1+r)n) + present value of investment – present value of the salvage value
Where, Cn equals to the expense incurred in the nth period and r is the rate of interest per period.
Therefore, for Machine A, present value of the expenses is
= ((1600/(1+0.20)1) + ((1600/(1+0.20)2) + 15,000 – ((3000/(1+0.20)2)
= 1333.33 + 1111.11 + 15000 – 2083.33
= 15361.11
For Machine B, present value of the expenses is
= ((400/(1+0.20)1) + ((400/(1+0.20)2) + ((400/(1+0.20)3) + ((400/(1+0.20)4) + 25,000 - ((4000/(1+0.20)2)
= 333.33 + 277.77 + 25,000 – 2777.77
= 22833.33
Therefore, it is shown that, Machine A is the least cost alternative and should be selected.
Even though most corporate bonds in the United States make coupon payments semiannually, bonds issued elsewhere often have annual coupon payments. Suppose a German company issues a bond with a par value of €1,000, 23 years to maturity, and a coupon rate of 3.8 percent paid annually. If the yield to maturity is 4.7 percent, what is the current price of the bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
Bond Price = 875.0948 euro rounded off to 875.09 euro
Explanation:
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to first calculate the coupon payment per period. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is an annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,
Coupon Payment (C) = 1000 * 0.038 = 38 euro
Total periods (n)= 23
r or YTM = 0.047 or 4.7%
