Answer:
markets can produce inefficient outcomes.
Explanation:
Asymmetric information is when one party to a transaction has more information than the other party. It could be the buyer or seller that has more information
For example, if a person wants to purchase health insurance, he might not disclose the full information about his health status to the insurer. This might lead to underestimation of costs.
Also, a seller might not reveal to the buyer than the item about to be purchased is faulty.
Asymmetric information leads to inefficient outcome inn the market
Suppose that unskilled workers find it worthwhile to acquire skills when the wage differential between skilled and unskilled workers reach a certain threshold. Explain the effects on the supply of unskilled workers, the supply of skilled workers, and the equilibrium wage for the two groups.

Answer:
a. Short-run economic profit: $ 40,000 per lease.
Long-run economic profit: $ 0 per lease.
b. Landowners would gain $40,000 per plot each year due to higher rent for land
Explanation:
The short-run economic profit for a cotton farmer is:
Economic profit = Total revenue - Explicit costs - Implicit costs = $60,000 - $14,000 - $6,000 = $40,000 per lease.
Landowners would reap the long-term benefits of the scheme. Their income would rise by $40,000 per year per 120-acre plot because rent would rise from $10,000 to $50,000.
Unskilled labor is one of the most plentiful resources in emerging nations, and it is heavily utilized to support those nations' economic development. Therefore, the cost of this labor plays a significant role in the selection and layout of development projects.
What effects on the supply of unskilled workers?Saving Money – Although skilled workers may initially be paid more than unskilled workers, competent people will ultimately cost less for your company. Unskilled workers are more likely to need more training, commit errors while working, and maybe your client relationships.
If the minimum wage levels are low in comparison to average salaries, increasing the minimum wage that employers must pay has minimal effects on total hours worked (i.e., total jobs times hours per job).
Therefore, Any decrease in the labor force available to a market will result in higher salaries and higher employer costs.

jazz Corporation owns 10 percent of the Mitchell Corporation stock. Mitchell distributed a $10,000 dividend to Jazz Corporation. Jazz Corporations taxable income (loss) before the dividend income was ($2,000). What is the amount of Jazz's dividends received deduction on the dividend it received from Mitchell Corporation
Answer: $2,000
Explanation:
When a corporation owns less than 20% of another corporation, only 50% of the dividend it receives can be used as a deduction.
In this case, Jazz owns less than 10% of Mitchell and so can use 50% of $10,000 as a deduction:
= 50% * 10,000
= $5,000
However, Jazz incurred a loss of $2,000 which means that they will only need to deduct that $2,000 from the allowable $5,000.
Blue Co. had the following first-year amounts related to its $12,000,000 construction contract: Actual costs incurred and paid $ 3,000,000 Estimated remaining costs to complete 6,000,000 Progress billings 3,500,000 Cash collected 3,100,000 Assuming the contract qualifies for revenue recognition over time, what total amount (excluding cash) should Blue Co. recognize as current assets at year end
Answer:
$900,000
Explanation:
The computation of the total amount excluding cash is shown below:
But before that following calculations need to be done
% completion during the year is
= $3,000,000 ÷ ($3,000,000 + $6,000,000)
= 33.3333%
Now Total revenue to be recognized for the year is
= $12,000,000 × 33.33333%
= $4,000,000
Profit for the year is
= $4,000,000 - $3,000,000
= $1,000,000
Now Accounts receivables at the end of year is
= Billings - Collection
= $3,500,000 - $3,100,000 = $400,000
Now Cost and profits in excess of billings
= ($3,000,000 + $1,000,000) - $3,500,000
= $500,000
And, finally Total amount of current assets to be recognize at year end is
= $400,000 + $500,000
= $900,000
The manager of a T-shirt company is considering investing in a new embroidery machine that costs $8,500, and the depreciation rate is 6.5% per year. The expected increase in next year’s revenue as a result of the investment is $1,500. For what values of the interest rate (r) should the company make this investment? Specify the answer to two places beyond the decimal point. Any r below %.
Answer:
The interest rate will be "11.147%".
Explanation:
The given values are:
Cost of machine,
= $8500
Depreciation rate,
= 6.5%
Increase in income,
= $1500
Now,
⇒ [tex]Increase \ in \ income=Cost \ of \ machine\times \frac{R}{100}+ Cost \ of \ machine\times \frac{Depreciation \ rate}{100}[/tex]
On substituting the values, we get
⇒ [tex]1500=8500\times \frac{R}{100}+8500\times \frac{6.5}{100}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]1500=85R+552.5[/tex]
On subtracting "552.5" from both sides, we get
⇒ [tex]1500-552.5=85R+552.5-552.5[/tex]
⇒ [tex]947.5=85R[/tex]
⇒ [tex]R=\frac{947.5}{85}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]R=11.147[/tex]%

You and another project manager disagree over whether a team member should work on your team or on her team. You decide that the team member can work for the other project manager in the afternoon and the other project manager says it is OK for the team member to work for you in the morning. The truth is you both wanted this person fulltime. The conflict resolution approach you have both used is:
Answer:
A. Smoothing
Explanation:
The smoothing approach is a conflict resolution technique that occurs when the project manager seeks to resolve the conflict by seeking an agreement that is beneficial to everyone, that is, seeking to reach consensus on a certain situation to mitigate divergences and thus focus back to work and not conflict.
This technique is a quick solution for the resolution of conflicts that is generally effective in the short term, because the conflict, even if it exists, is left aside while there is a viable solution, such as what happened in the question, that despite the two managers want the team member working for him full time, each of the managers gave in to have the employee working part time for each one.

During the meeting, Carlos has been emphasizing the importance of the change, and trying to persuade employees to accept the transition. He also thinks losing employees may be acceptable if they cannot accept the change. According to Lewin’s force field analysis model, Carlos behaviors reflect his effort to facilitate the ______ process.
Answer:
During the meeting, Carlos has been emphasizing the importance of the change and trying to persuade employees to accept the transition. He also thinks losing employees may be acceptable if they cannot accept the change. According to Lewin’s force field analysis model, Carlos's behaviors reflect his effort to facilitate the change process.
Explanation:
Lewin's Force Field Theory has a three-stage theory, the Unfreezing, Change, and the Refreezing stages. This theory talks about how organizations are pushed toward change by driving forces.
This desired change starts by unfreezing the behaviors that are not wanted, in other words, Carlos would make employees see the need to embrace change for the company to move forward. While the Change theory talks about the transition to that desired behavior and the actual change is implemented. Finally, the Refreezing theory aims to make the change permanent as people tend to easily go back to behaviors they have been used to because employees may resist change due to their desire to remain in their comfort zones. Behaviors of employees could point to the driving and restraining forces in an organization.

A 10,000 par value bond with coupons at 8%, convertible semiannually, is being sold three years and four months before the bond matures. The purchase will yield 6%convertible semiannually to the buyer. The price at the most recent coupon date, immediately after the coupon payment, was 5,640.Calculate the market (quoted) price of the bond.
Answer:
$9,124.94
Explanation:
the clean price of the bond two months ago was $5,640.
Currently, interest rate have changed and the price of the bond has changed:
the semiannual yield is 4%, that means that the bimonthly yield = 1.04 = (1 + r)³
1 + r = 1.0132
r = 0.0132
the current price of the bond:
PV of face value = $10,000 / (1 + 0.0132)²⁰ = $7,693.01
PV of coupon payments = ($300 x {[1 - (1 + 0.04)⁻⁶] / 0.04}) / (1 + 0.0132)² = $1,572.64 / (1 + 0.0132)² = $1,531.93
minus accrued interests (dirty price) = $300 x 1/3 = $100
Market value of bond = $9,124.94

Given the following production plan, use a chase production strategy to compute the monthly production, ending inventory/(backlog), net requirements and required workforce levels. A worker can produce 100 units per month. Assume that the beginning inventory in January is 2200 units, and the firm desires to have 1000 units of inventory at the end of December. Month Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sept Oct Nov Dec Demand 15,400 13,250 9,000 9,700 14,650 16,000 22,400 23,100 19,050 17,400 14,000 12,300 What month requires the most workers
Answer:
The month with the higher of workers required is August.
Explanation:
To calculate the number of workers required, we need to use the following formula:
Number of workers= (production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory) / 100
Jan= (15,400 + 1,000 - 2,200) / 100= 142
Feb= (13,250 + 1,000 - 1,000) / 100= 133
Mar= 9,000 / 100= 90
Apr= 9,700 / 100= 97
May= 14,650 / 100= 147
June= 16,000 / 100= 160
July= 22,400 / 100= 224
August= 23,100 / 100= 231
Sept= 19,050 / 100= 191
Oct= 17,400 / 100= 174
Nov= 14,000 / 100= 140
Dic= 12,300 / 100= 123
The month with the higher of workers required is August.

d) 22578.86 yen
e) 248 yen
Explanation:
a) Determine for A little leaguer
At year 15 the NPV annual profit for each customer will fall below 100. hence the lifetime value for each customer will be calculated as :
= ( 9733 / ( 1 + 0.1 ) 15 ) - 10000 = 8848.32 yen
b)Determine for A summer slugger
At year 7 the NPV annual profit for each customer will fall below 100. hence The lifetime value for each customer will be calculated as
= ( 1906 / ( 1 + 0.1 ) 7 ) - 10000 = 1732.95 yen
c) calculate for An elite Ballplayer ( when MBC places ad )
At year 12 the NPV annual profit for each customer will fall below 100. Hence the lifetime value for each customer will be calculated as
=( 13547.31 / ( 1 + 0.1 ) 12 ) - 60000 = 13487.95 yen
d) calculate for An Elite Ballplayer ( when MBC purchases the list )
At year 12 the NPV annual profit for each customer will fall below 100. Hence the lifetime value for each customer will be calculated as

Susie buys two goods: rounds of golf and massages.Suppose that the price of a round of golf is $20 and the price of a massage is $30.In a typical week,Susie will play two rounds of golf,getting 20 units of satisfaction from the second round.She normally buys three massages each week,with the third giving her 30 units of satisfaction.If she were to buy a fourth massage in a week,it would give her 20 units of satisfaction.If the price of massages is reduced to $15,which of the following outcomes might we expect to occur?
A) Susie would leave her consumption choices unchanged because of diminishing marginal utility in the consumption of massages.
B) Susie would buy more massages and fewer rounds of golf,as predicted by the income effect.
C) Susie would buy more massages and more rounds of golf,as predicted by the substitution effect.
D) Susie would buy more massages and fewer rounds of golf,as predicted by the substitution effect.
Answer:
D) Susie would buy more massages and fewer rounds of golf,as predicted by the substitution effect.
Explanation:
Let's check the utility that Susie gets from consuming these products.
The second round of golf gives her 20 units of satisfaction at $20 = 20/20 = 1
The third massage gives her 30 units of satisfaction at $30 = 30/30 = 1
But now the price the price for massage has come down to $15. The ratio of their prices would be
20/15 = 1.333

A) $ -0-
B) $ 70,000.
C) $140,000.
D) $245,000.
Answer:
B) $ 70,000.
Explanation:
Debt service expense
Debt service expense is the interest expense incurred to avail the debt services from another entity.
Debt service expense can be calculated using the following formula
Debt service expense = Face value of Bonds x Interest rate x Semiannual fraction
Where
Face value of bonds = $3,500,000
Interest rate = 4%
Semiannual fraction = 6 / 12 = 1/ 2
placing values in the formula
Debt service expense = $3,500,000 x 4% x 1/2
Debt service expense = $70,000
High-Low Method The manufacturing costs of Ackerman Industries for the first three months of the year follow: Total Costs Units Produced January $1,900,000 20,000 units February 2,250,000 27,000 March 2,400,000 30,000 Using the high-low method, determine (a) the variable cost per unit and (b) the total fixed cost. a. Variable cost per unit $fill in the blank 1 b. Total fixed cost $fill in the blank 2
Answer:
A. $50 per unit
B. $900,000
Explanation:
(a) Computation for the variable cost per unit using this formula
Variable cost per unit=(Total cost at highest level-Total cost at lowest level)/(Highest level-Lowest level)
Let plug in the formula
Variable cost per unit=(2,400,000-1,900,000)/(30,000-20,000)
Variable cost per unit=500,000/10,000
Variable cost per unit=$50 per unit
Therefore The Variable cost per unit will be $50 per unit
B. Computation to determine the Total fixed cost
Total fixed cost=2,400,0000-(50*30,000)
Total fixed cost=2,400,0000-1,500,000
Total fixed cost=$900,000
Therefore The Total fixed cost will be $900,000
Becton Labs, Inc., produces various chemical compounds for industrial use. One compound, called Fludex, is prepared using an elaborate distilling process. The company has developed standard costs for one unit of Fludex, as follows: Standard Quantity Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Direct materials 2.50 ounces $ 28.00 per ounce $ 70.00 Direct labor 0.50 hours $ 13.00 per hour 6.50 Variable manufacturing overhead 0.50 hours $ 3.60 per hour 1.80 $ 78.30 During November, the following activity was recorded relative to production of Fludex: a. Materials purchased, 13,500 ounces at a cost of $361,800. b. There was no beginning inventory of materials; however, at the end of the month, 2,900 ounces of material remained in ending inventory. c. The company employs 21 lab technicians to work on the production of Fludex. During November, they worked an average of 140 hours at an average rate of $11.50 per hour. d. Variable manufacturing overhead is assigned to Fludex on the basis of direct labor-hours. Variable manufacturing overhead costs during November totaled $4,400. e. During November, 4,200 good units of Fludex were produced . Required: For direct materials: a. Compute the price and quantity variances. (Round your "price per ounce" answers to 2 decimal places. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).) b. The materials were purchased from a new supplier who is anxious to enter into a long-term purchase contract. Would you recommend that the company sign the contract?
Answer:
A. Materials price variance 16,200 F
Materials quantity variance 2,800 U
B. Yes
Explanation:
A. Computation for the price and quantity variances For direct materials
Calculation for Materials price variance
Materials price variance=361,800-(13,500*28)
Materials price variance=361,800-378,000
Materials price variance=16,200 FAVOURABLE
Calculation for Materials quantity variance
First step is to calculate Actual materials used
Actual materials used=13,500-2,900
Actual materials used=10,600
Now let compute the Materials quantity variance
Materials quantity variance=28*(10,600-4,200*2.5)
Materials quantity variance=2,800
UNFAVORABLE
Therefore the price will be 16,200 FAVOURABLE and quantity variances will be 2,800 UNFAVORABLE For direct materials
B. Based on the above calculation I Would recommend that the company sign the contract because Materials variance is Favorable

Required:
Assume the company uses absorption costing. Determine its product cost per unit.
Answer:
Unitary costs= $91
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct materials per unit $54
Direct labor per unit $20
Variable overhead per unit $6
Fixed overhead for the year $506,000
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
Unitary costs= (506,000 / 46,000) + 54 + 20 + 6
Unitary costs= $91
