Answer:
-value of all goods and services produced in the economy this year
-this year's prices
-value of all goods and services produced in the economy this year
-the base year's prices
-bought by consumers
-the first scenario would have effect on the GDP deflator
-the second scenario would have effect on the GDP deflator
Explanation:
The GDP deflator is used in measuring inflation in the economy by measuring changes in prices of goods in the economy. It is used together with other indices such as consumer price index in arriving at a more accurate or balanced measurement of inflation I'm the economy. The GDP deflator would be affected above because it is more comprehensive in it's calculation or measurement as it doesn't take into account only a basket of goods and services like the Consumer price index does
Nissan’s all-electric car, the Leaf, has a base price of $32,780 in the United States, but it is eligible for a $7500 federal tax credit. A consulting engineering company wants to evaluate the purchase or lease of one of the vehicles for use by its employees traveling to job sites in the local area. The cost for leasing the vehicle will be $4200 per year (payable at the end of each year) after an initialization charge of $2500 paid now. If the company purchases the vehicle, it will also purchase a home charging station for $2200 that will be partially offset by a 50% tax credit. If the company expects to be able to sell the car and charging station for 40% of the base price of the car alone at the end of 3 years, should the company purchase or lease the car? Use an interest rate of 10% per year and annual worth analysis.
Answer:
Nissan's all-electric car, the Leaf
PV cost of Leaf Purchase = $16,529
PV cost of Leasing = $12,944.78
The company should lease the car.
Explanation:
a) Costs incurred to purchase the Leaf:
Base price $32,780
less Federal tax credit ($7,500)
Charging station 2,200
less 50% tax credit (1,100)
Cash paid $26,380
Sales value after 3 yrs (9,851) ( $26,380 - 40% of base discounted to PV)
Net PV Investment $16,529
b) Calculation of Discounted Present Values of Payments under Leasing, using online financial calculator:
PV (Present Value) $12,944.78
N (Number of Periods) 3.000
I/Y (Interest Rate) 10.000%
PMT (Periodic Payment) $4,200.00
Starting Investment $2,500.00
Total Principal $15,100.00
Total Interest $2,129.50
c) The purchase of the Leaf would involve a present value cost of $26,380 after deducting all the savings from tax. The 40% sales value of the car at the end of 3 years = $13,112 ($32,780 x 40%). When this sales value is discounted to PV of $9,851, the PV of the car investments becomes $16,529 ($26,380 - $9,851). On the other hand, leasing will cost in PV the sum of $12,944.78

A university bookstore buys mechanical pencils from a wholesaler. The wholesaler offers discount for large order quantity per shipment according to the following price schedule:
Order Quantity Price Per Unit
1 to 200 $4.00
201 to 1,000 $3.60
1,001 to 2,000 $3.40
2,001 and greater $3.25
The bookstore expects an annual demand of 2,500 units. It costs $10 to place an order, and the annual cost of holding a unit in stock is 30% of the unit’s procurement price. Determine the best order quantity.
Answer:
226 units
Explanation:
Formula : [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2 * Annual Demand * Ordering Cost}{Holding Cost}[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{\frac{2*2500*10}{0.3*3.25} }[/tex] = 226
The economic order quantity is the minimum amount of inventory that a seller must keep to demand and lower the holding cost. The reorder point is the inventory management system in which a certain level of inventory is set as a trigger for reordering the stock. Ordering cost is determined by the number of order placed.
The tri-star company currently use an old lathe that was purchase 2 years ago at $6000. This machine is being depreciatin on a MACRS five year (20%, 32%, 19%, 12%, 11%, 6%). The current market value for this machine is $3,000. The proposed new improved lathe cost $10,000 and additional installation fee of $1,000. The new lathe would require that inventories be increased by $800 and account receivable increase $600, but accounts payable would simultaneously increase by $700. Tri-Star's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 30%. What is the initial investment of company when evaluating the replacement of old lathe by the new one?
Answer:
$8,736
Explanation:
initial investment = capital expenditures (machine's purchase cost + installation costs) + any increase in working capital - disposal of old machine
capital expenditures = $10,000 + $1,000 = $11,000
after tax salvage value = market value + taxes on disposal
the current book value of the old machine = $6,000 - $1,200 - $1,920 = $2,880
taxes on salvage value = (book value - market value) x tax rate = ($2,880 - $3,000) x 30% = -$36
after tax salvage value = $3,000 - $36 = $2,964
net working capital = current liabilities - current assets
change in working capital = $800 + $600 - $700 = $700
initial investment = $11,000 + $700 - $2,964 = $8,736

What is the annual after-tax cash flow to debt holders under each plan in Q7?
A. Debt holders get $0 mil. under the unlevered plan vs. 1.2 mil. under the levered plan
B. Debt holders get $1.2 mil. under the unlevered plan vs. 0.66 mil. under the levered plan
C. Debt holders get $0 mil. under the unlevered plan vs. 0.66 mil. under the levered plan
D. Debt holders get $0 mil. under the unlevered plan vs. 0.6075 mil. under the levered plan
Answer:
D. Debt holders get $0 mil. under the unlevered plan vs. 0.6075 mil. under the levered plan
Explanation:
interests paid to debt holders = $13,500,000 x 10% = $1,350,000
generally, interest revenue is taxed as ordinary revenue = corporate income tax rate (if debt holder is a business) or personal income tax (if debt holder is an individual).
under the first plan, debt holders get nothing because there is no outstanding debt since the company is an all equity firm.
under the second plan, if the personal tax rate on interest income is 55%, which is really high, the debt holders will earn $1,350,000 x (1 - 55%) = $607,500
You purchased a bond 69 days ago for $891.26. You received an interest payment of $24.00 56 days ago. Today the bond’s price is $884.89. What is the holding period return (HPR) on the bond as of today?
Answer:
1.97%
Explanation:
The formula to calculate the holding period return is:
HPR=(Income generated+(ending value-initial value)/Initial value)*100
Income generated= $24
Ending value= $884.89
Initial value= $891.26
HPR=(24+(884.89-891.26)/891.26)*100
HPR=(24+(-6.37)/891.26)*100
HPR=(17.63/891.26)*100
HPR=0.0197*100
HPR= 1.97%
According to this, the holding period return (HPR) on the bond as of today is 1.97%.

Salary expense was 15.5% of sales this year. If sales this year are $1,300,000 and are forecasted to be $1,500,000 next year, what is forecasted salary expense next year if all expenses maintain a constant percent of sales?
Answer:
Salary expense next year=$232,500
Explanation:
The ratio of expense to ales is an important which helps in the management and control overhead.
We can be predict the Salary expense using the information given about the relationship between salary expense and sales .
If salary expense is 15.5% of sales, then Salary expense this year =
15.5% × 1,300,000=$201,500
Salary expense next year = 15.5% × foretasted sales next year
= 15.5% × 1,500,000 = $232,500
We use 15.5% because the relationship between the expenses and the sales in proportion is expected to remain the same
Salary expense next year=$232,500

You decide to borrow $100,000 at the riskless interest rate, and you then invest all $300,000 ($200,000 of your own cash and the $100,000 borrowed cash) in the market index fund. Calculate the expected return and standard deviation of this investment portfolio
You have $200,000 of cash. The riskless interest rate is 3%. The market index fund has an expected return of 10% and a standard deviation of 20%
You decide to borrow $100,000 at the riskless interest rate, and you then invest all $300,000 ($200,000 of your own cash and the $100,000 borrowed cash) in the market index fund. Calculate the expected return and standard deviation of this investment portfolio
Answer:
The expected return of this portfolio = 13.50%
standard deviation of this portfolio = 30.00%
Explanation:
From the information given:
The percentage of riskless = -100000/200000
The percentage of riskless = -0.50%
Now; the investment in market index = 1.50%
The expected return of this portfolio = 1.50 × 10% + ( - 0.5 ×3 %)
The expected return of this portfolio = 1.50 × 0.1 - 0.5 × 0.03
The expected return of this portfolio = 0.15 - 0.015
The expected return of this portfolio = 0.135
The expected return of this portfolio = 13.50%
standard deviation of this portfolio = the investment in market index × market index standard deviation
standard deviation of this portfolio = 1.50 × 20%
standard deviation of this portfolio = 30.00%
For each scenario, identify which argument is being used to justify trade protectionism.
Argument:
1. Job creation argument
2. National Security argument
3. Infant industry argument
a. Politicians in a small nation want to impose tariffs on foreign food because they believe the nation is too dependent on foreign producers.
b. Lobbyists argue that by prohibiting the importation of manufactured goods, the domestic manufacturing industry will create thousands more jobs.
c. Brazil imposes high tariffs for computer imports so small, domestic manufacturers can develop the technology needed to compete with foreign competitors.
d. Lobbyists argue that raising import tariffs on foreign oil will lead to more domestic jobs in the domestic energy industry.
Answer:
a. Politicians in a small nation want to impose tariffs on foreign food because they believe the nation is too dependent on foreign producers.
2. National Security argumentThis argument is generally used on high tech products, but it is sometimes used to support other industries that are considered essential and very important for a country. The problem is that it always results in higher domestic prices benefiting only a few.
b. Lobbyists argue that by prohibiting the importation of manufactured goods, the domestic manufacturing industry will create thousands more jobs.
1. Job creation argumentUnder this policy, politicians think that they can substitute imports by local products which would favor the trade balance and also generate jobs. The problem is that domestic prices might be very high and consumers will be forced to pay those high prices. Also, other economies can retaliate and the country's exports might be negatively affected.
c. Brazil imposes high tariffs for computer imports so small, domestic manufacturers can develop the technology needed to compete with foreign competitors.
3. Infant industry argumentThis argument is used by politicians that claim that infant industries (or recent, new industries) need to be protected in order to be able to function, prosper and grow. The problem with this argument is that industries operate under a bubble and consumers are charged very high prices for obsolete technology.
d. Lobbyists argue that raising import tariffs on foreign oil will lead to more domestic jobs in the domestic energy industry.
1. Job creation argumentAgain, under this policy, politicians think that they can substitute imports by local products which would favor the trade balance and also generate jobs. The problem is that domestic prices might be very high and consumers will be forced to pay those high prices.

In its 2016 income statement, Jacobsen would report income from continuing operations of:
Answer:
Jacobsen Corporation
Income from continuing operations of $621,000 will be reported.
Explanation:
The income from continuing operations is the same thing as the operating income. It is the pre-tax income that is reported on Jacobsen Corporation's income statement for the year ended December 31, 2016. The tax rate of 30% is applied on this figure to obtain the income tax expense for the year. But, for Jacobsen that has other unusual items, these are taken into consideration before the income tax is imputed to obtain the after-tax income.
One measure of ____ is the extent to which the work of the department affects the final output of the organization.
Answer:
Centrality
Explanation:
Remember, a less central organization means more freedom. However, when the work of the departments in an organization can adversely affects the final output of the organization it tells us how central the organization is.
This Implies that the organization is following a structured system in which flexibility is not possible, and as a result any issues at other departments might affect output.
An estimated demand curve does not necessarily match actual data perfectly because A. it is not possible to accurately calculate the coefficients of the curve. B. demand is unpredictable. C. some factors that are not measured or observed may affect the curve. D. the random error term has too large of a range.
Answer:
C. some factors that are not measured or observed may affect the curve.
Explanation:
a lot of unforeseen circumstances might occur. these occurrences would not be measured in the estimated demand curve. this would lead to the estimated demand curve not matching the actual demand curve.
for example, the factors affecting the demand for bread are ; price, income, price of a substitutes. these are included in estimating the demand curve for bread. Assume that a study comes out stating that bread is harmful to the health.this reduces the demand for bread. this study wasn't anticipated and included in estimating the demand curve. as a result, the actual data would differ from the estimated data
A growing population encourages economic growth as it creates a larger workforce. Suppose a surge in immigration increases a country's total population and its overall economic output increases. As a result, the country's real GDP increases from $304,000 to $316,500. What is the percent change in real GDP
Answer:
4.11%
Explanation:
the percentage change in real GDP = [(new real GDP - old real GDP) / old real GDP] x 100 = [($316,500 - $304,000) / $304,000] x 100 = 4.11%
Generally a surge in immigration will result in both higher nominal and real GDP, but what should be more important is how real GDP per capita changes. If real GDP per capita increases, then the inflow was positive and made the economy grow for better. If real GDP per capita decreases, even if total real GDP increases, then the economy is not doing better.

You have just turned 40 years old and are trying to decide who much money to put into your retirement plan. The plan works as follows: Every dollar in the plan earns 7% per year. You cannot make withdrawals until you retire on your sixty-fifth birthday. After that point, you can make withdrawals as you see fit. You decide that you will plan to live to 95 and work until your turn 65. You estimate that to live comfortably in retirement, you will need $250,000 per year starting at the end of the first year of retirement and ending on your 95th birthday. You already have $200,000 in the retirement plan. You will contribute the same amount to the plan at the end of every year that you work, starting next year. How much do you need to contribute each year to fund your retirement
Answer:
$31,886.09
Explanation:
years until retirement = 65 - 40 = 25 years
interest earned 7%
retirement age 65
expected life span after retiring = 95 - 65 = 30 years
financial needs during retirement $250,000 per year
current account balance $200,000
we must first determine how much money you will need when you are 65:
present value = $250,000 x 12.409 (PV annuity, 30 years, 7%) = $3,102,250
your $200,000 will be worth $200,000 x (1 + 7%)²⁵ = $1,085,486.53 in 25 years
so you need $3,102,250 - $1,085,486.53 = $2,016,763.47 extra
using the FV formula for an annuity:
$2,016,763.47 = payment x 63.249 (FV annuity, 25 years, 7%)
payment = $2,016,763.47 / 63.249 = $31,886.09
Suppose that on Valentine's Day, the demand for both roses and greeting cards increases by the same percentage amount. However, the price of roses increases by more than the price of greeting cards. Based on this information, you can conclude that the supply of Valentine's card:_______.
Answer:
The correct answer is: the supply of the greeting cards is less elastic than the one of the roses.
Explanation:
To begin with, the elasticity show how much the price and the quantity are related by indicating the variation that happens to one of them when the other changes. Therefore that the supply of the greeting cards is less sensitive to price because when the quantity demanded increased the price did not change as much as the roses due to the fact that the sellers were not encourage as much as the sellers of the roses to produce more and therefore to increase the price of the cards. So to sum up, when the price changed the sellers were not encourage to increase the production of the cards as much as the production of the roses because of its elasticity.
Answer:
the supply of the greeting cards is less elastic than the one of the roses.
