Explanation:
External factors can directly impact the revision of a traditional sector.
Considering the retail sector as an example, we can see how it was impacted by new technologies such as the insertion of commercial activities in an online environment.
New technologies such as the internet are tools for interaction and information exchange where companies can prospect customers and create relationship marketing that promotes greater value and positioning for a company.
For a retailer who wants to remain competitive, it is important to adapt to new ways of making sales, reinventing and updating their payment, delivery, sales and marketing processes and systems.
The following data were reported by a corporation: Authorized shares 20,000 Issued shares 15,000 Treasury shares 3,000 The number of outstanding shares is:
Answer:
12,000
Explanation:
The following data was reported for an organisation
Authorized shares is 20,000
Issued shares is 15,000
Treasury shares is 3,000
Therefore, the number of outstanding shares can be calculated as follows
Number of outstanding shares= Issued stock-Treasury stock
= 15,000-3,000
= 12,000
Hence the number of outstanding shares is 12,000
A company that makes shopping carts for supermarkets and other stores recently purchased some new equipment that reduces the labor content of the jobs needed to produce the shopping carts. Prior to buying the new equipment, the company used five workers, who produced an average of 77 carts per hour. Workers receive $11/hour and machine cost was $47 per hour. With the new equipment, it was possible to transfer one of the workers to another department, and equipment cost increased by $14 per hour while output increased by four carts per hour.
a. Compute the multifactor productivity(MFP) (labor plus equipment) under the Prior to buying the new equipment. (Round to 4 decimal places)
b. Compute the % growth in productivity between the Prior and after buying the new equipment. (Round to 2 decimal places
Answer:
Multifactor productivity MFP before buying new equipment = 0.7549 carts/dollar cost
Growth in productivity between the Prior and after buying the new equipment. = 31.49%
Explanation:
Given that:
the number of workers before buying new equipment = 5
average cart production per hour = 77
worker's wage = $11
Cost of the machine = $47
After buying the new equipment;
number of worker is now = 4 since it is possible to transfer one of their worker to another department
average cart production per hour = $(77 +4) = $81
worker's wage = $11
Cost of the machine = $(47+14) = $61
The objective of this question is to "
a. Compute the multifactor productivity(MFP) (labor plus equipment) under the Prior to buying the new equipment.
Multifactor productivity MFP= Carts produced / (Labor cost + Equipment cost)
where;
Labor Cost = (Number of workers × Worker wage)
Multifactor productivity MFP = Carts produced / ((Number of workers × Worker wage) + Equipment cost)
We are to find just only the multifactor productivity(MFP) (labor plus equipment) under the Prior to buying the new equipment.
i.e before buying the new equipment.
Multifactor productivity MFP = 77/ (5 × 11) + 47)
Multifactor productivity MFP = 77/ (55+ 47)
Multifactor productivity MFP = 77/ (102)
Multifactor productivity MFP = 77/ (102)
Multifactor productivity MFP = 0.7549 carts/dollar cost
b. Compute the % growth in productivity between the Prior and after buying the new equipment. (Round to 2 decimal places
Growth in productivity = (Labor New productivity - Labor Old productivity) / Labor Old productivity] × 100
where;
Labor Productivity = Number of carts produced per hour / Number of workers
Labor Productivity (before buying new equipment) = 77/5
Labor Productivity (before buying new equipment) = 15.4 carts/worker/hour
Labor Productivity ( after buying the new equipment) = 81/4
Labor Productivity ( after buying the new equipment) = 20.25 carts/worker/hour
Growth in productivity = (20.25 - 15.40 /15.40) × 100
Growth in productivity = (4.85 / 15.40 )× 100
Growth in productivity = 0.3149 × 100
Growth in productivity = 31.49%
Assume that your roommate is very messy. According to campus policy, you have a right to live in an uncluttered apartment. Suppose she gets a $200 benefit from being messy but imposes a $100 cost on you. The Coase theorem would suggest that an efficient solution would be for your roommate to
Answer: b. pay you at least $100 but less than $200 to live with the clutter.
Explanation:
The options are:
a. stop her messy habits or else move out.
b. pay you at least $100 but less than $200 to live with the clutter.
c. continue to be messy and force you to move out.
d. demand payment of at least $100 but no more than $200 to clean up after herself.
According to the Coase theorem, if a party has the rights to a property, then an efficient output level will be achieved when there is some sort of bargaining between the parties that are involved.
Since the roommate gets a $200 benefit from being messy but imposes a $100 cost on me, an efficient solution would be for my roommate to pay me at least $100 but less than $200 to live with the clutter.
A company is considering the purchase of new equipment for $57,000. The projected annual net cash flows are $23,400. The machine has a useful life of 3 years and no salvage value. Management of the company requires a 8% return on investment. The present value of an annuity of 1 for various periods follows:
Periods Present value of an annuity of 1 at 12%
1 0.8929
2 1.6901
3 2.4018
What is the net present value of this machine assuming all cash flows occur at year-end?
a. $30,000
b. $4,500
c. $(4,736)
d. $34,500
e. $82,862
Answer:
Net Present Value = $3,304.069
Explanation:
To determine whether or not the investment was right, we will need to determine the net present value of the investment (NPV).
The NPV is the difference between the present value PV of cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good investment decision and a negative figure implies the opposite.
NPV of an investment(NPV)
NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of cash outflow
The cash inflow is an annuity.
PV of annuity= A× 1 -(1+r)^(-n)/r
A- Annual cash flow ,- 23,400 r - discount rate - 8%, number of years- 3
Present Value of cash inflow =23,400 × (1- (1.08)^(-3)/0.08 = 60,304.06
Initial cost = 57,000
Net Present Value = 60,304.06 - 57,000 = 3,304.069
Net Present Value = $3,304.069
Kindly note that a discount rate of 8% was used as it is the opportunity cost of capital for the investment.
Assume the MPC is 0.8. Assuming only the multiplier effect matters, a decrease in government purchases of $100 billion will shift the aggregate demand curve to the:__________
a. left by $180 billion.
b. left by $500 billion.
c. right by $180 billion.
d. right by $400 billion.
Answer:
b. left by $500 billion.
Explanation:
Given marginal propensity to consume, MPC = 0.8
Marginal propensity to consume + Marginal propensity to save = 1
MPC + MPS = 1
0.8 + MPS = 1
MPS = 1-0.8
MPS = 0.2
Now, the government multiplier = 1/MPS
The government multiplier = 1 / 0.2 = 5
Total fall in aggregate demand = Government multiplier × Government purchases
= 5 ×100
= $500
Since there is a fall in spending so the aggregate demand curve will shift leftwards.
Therefore, the correct option is b. left by $500 billion.
If an investment center has a $90,000 controllable margin and $1,200,000 of sales, what average operating assets are needed to have a return on investment of 10%
Answer:
Average operating assets is $900,000
Explanation:
The formula for return on investment stated below is the starting for solving this question:
return on investment= Net operating income / Average operating assets
return on investment is 10%
net operating income is the same as controllable margin of $90,000
Average operating assets is the unknown
10%=90000/average operating assets
average operating assets=90000/10%
average operating assets=$900,000
At a price of $200, a cell phone company manufactures 300,000 phones. At a price of $150, the company produces 200,000 phones. What is the price elasticity of supply
Answer:
1.33
Explanation:
At a price of $200, a cell phone company manufactures 300,000 phones
At a price of $150, the company produced 200,000 phones
P1= $200 , Q1= 300,000 units
P2= $150 , Q2= 200,000 units
Price elasticity = change in quantity / change in price
Change in quantity= Q2-Q1/(Q2+Q1/2)
= 200,000-300,000/(200,000+300,000/2)
= -100,000/500,000/2
= -100,000/250,000
= -0.4
Change in price= P2-P1/(P2+P1/2)
= 150-200/(150+200/2)
= -50/(350/2)
= -50/175
= -0.3
Price elasticity= -0.4/-0.3
= 1.33
Hence the price elasticity is 1.33
The price elasticity of supply when the firm produces 200,000 at a price of $150 per cell phone will be 1.33. The price elasticity of supply is a concept of economics useful in calculation of efficiency in the organization.
The price elasticity refers to the price undergone with the comparison of two different prices and two different rates of production at given price and predetermined period.
The price elasticity of supply however relates to the change in response by the cost and production by a change in cost of production per unit and the supply that is effected at such price being offered.The calculation of price elasticity in this case can be easily calculated with the information provided in the query above. [tex]\rm Quantity\ at\ price\ of\ 200\ per\ unit=\ 300000[/tex][tex]\rm Quantity\ Produced\ at\ 150\ per\ unit=\ 200000[/tex]We know the formula that the price elasticity of supply is obtained by dividing the difference of change in price divided by change in quantity produced.[tex]\rm Price\ Elasticity\ of\ Supply= \dfrac{Change\ in\ Quantity}{Change\ in\ Price}[/tex]Putting the values in the equation we get, [tex]\rm Change\ in\ price= \dfrac{150-200}{\dfrac {150+200}{2}}[/tex][tex]\rm Change\ in\ Price= -0.3[/tex]Now calculating Change in quantity[tex]\rm Change\ in\ Quantity= \dfrac{200000-300000}{\dfrac {200000+300000}{2}}[/tex]We get,

Suppose that Second Republic Bank currently has $150,000 in demand deposits and $97,500 in outstanding loans. The Federal Reserve has set the reserve requirement at 10%.
Reserves=__________
Required Reserves=___________
Excess Reserves=__________
Answer:
Reserves= $52,500
Required reserves= $15,000
Excess reserves= $37,500
Explanation:
The Second republic bank has $150,000 in demand deposits
They also have $97,500 in outstanding loans
The reserves can be calculated as follows
Reserves= deposits-loans
= $150,000-$97,500
= $52,500
The required reserves can be calculated as follows
Required reserves= deposits × reserve ratio
= $150,000×10/100
= $150,000×0.1
= $15,000
The excess reserves can be calculated as follows
Excess reserves= reserves-required reserves
= $52,500-$15,000
= $37,500
Hence the reserves, required reserves and excess reserves are $52,500, $15,000 and $37,500 respectively

Compute the contribution margin per package and the contribution margin ratio. Begin by identifying the formula to compute the contribution margin per package. Then compute the contribution margin per package. (Enter the amount to the nearest cent.)
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Unitary variable expenses= $ 0.80
Selling price per unit= $ 1.60
First, we need to calculate the unitary contribution margin:
Unitary contribution margin= selling price - unitary variable cost
Unitary contribution margin= 1.6 - 0.8
Unitary contribution margin= $0.8
Now, the contribution margin ratio:
contribution margin ratio= contribution margin / sellig price
contribution margin ratio= 0.8/1.6
contribution margin ratio= 0.5
The Sunflower, Inc makes and sells tasty hamburgers for $8 per unit with a unit variable cost of $6. All sales are for cash and the variable costs are paid immediately. The company has budgeted the following data for November:
Sales 20000 units
Cash,Beginning Balance $34,000
Selling and administratie(of which depreciation $5,000) $53,000
If necessary, the company will borrow cash from a bank on the first day of November. Assume that the borrowing can be made in any (exact) amount, but bears interest at 2% per month. The November interest will be paid in cash during November. What is the closest amount of cash that must be borrowed on November 1 to cover all cash disbursements and to obtain the desired November 30 cash balance?
Answer:
Amount to be borrowed is around $7,140
Explanation:
All the sales are cash sales
Total number of units produced and sold 20,000 units
Selling price is $8
Cash receipt on account on sales is 20,000 * $8 = $160,000
Variable cost per unit is $6
Total number of units produced and sold = 20,000 unit
Cash to be paid is $20,000 * $8 = $120,000
Calculation of Ending cash balance without considering Loan amount

Oriole Company had $197,000 of net income in 2019 when the selling price per unit was $152, the variable costs per unit were $90, and the fixed costs were $571,800. Management expects per unit data and total fixed costs to remain the same in 2020. The president of Oriole Company is under pressure from stockholders to increase net income by $99,200 in 2020.
Required:
a. Compute the number of units sold in 2019.
b. Compute the number of units that would have to be sold in 2020 to reach the stockholders’ desired profit .
c. Assume that Oriole Company sells the same number of units in 2020 as it did in 2019. What would the selling price have to be in order to reach the stockholders’ desired profit level?
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Net income= $197,000
Selling price per unit= $152
Unitary variable cost= $90
Fixed costs= $571,800
Desired profit= 99,200 + 197,000= $296,200
First, we need to calculate the number of units sold:
Contribution margin per unit= 152 - 90= $62
Total contribution margin= net income + fixed costs
Total contribution margin= 197,000 + 571,800= $768,800
Units sold= total contribution margin / unitary contribution margin
Units sold= 768,800/62= 12,400 units
Now, to determine the number of units to be sold, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profir) / contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (571,800 + 296,200) / 62
Break-even point in units= 14,000 units
Finally, we need to determine the selling price for 12,400 units and the desired profit of $296,200.
12,400= 868,000 / (selling price - 90)
-1,116,000 + 12,400selling price= 868,000
12,400 selling price = 1,984,000
selling price= $160
A corporation has 50,000 shares of $25 par stock outstanding. If the corporation issues a 3-for-1 stock split, the number of shares outstanding after the split will be a.50,000 shares b.100,000 shares c.150,000 shares d.16,666 shares
Answer:
Option C
Number of shares outstanding after split = 150,000 units
Explanation:
A stock split occurs where a company creates additional shares in units such the total nominal value of the outstanding shares remains the same. With a stock split, the total outstanding shares increases without a change in the total nominal value while the nominal value per share reduces.
Total shares before the split = 50,000
Total outstanding shares after split
= 50,000 × 3 = 150,000
Number of shares outstanding after split = 150,000 units
Lynda Jones College Plan On her 10th birthday Linda Jone's parents decide to deposit $4,000 in a 529 account for their daughter to go to college. They intend to put an additional $4,000 in the account each year on her 11th, 12th, ..., 17yh birthdays. Assume all account balances will earn 8% per year. On Lynda's 18th, 19th, 20th, and 21st birthdays, her parents will withdraw $20,000 to pay for Linda's college education. Questions: Is the $4,000 savings per year sufficient to cover the anticipated college expenses? Is Linda's 529 account underfunded? What should be the annual deposit in Lynda's 529 account to cover entirely her tuition and fees? What will be the PV of Lynda's college tuition on her 18th birthday? Summarize the results of your analysis and provide your recommendation in this quizz. Create a spreadsheet and submit it in you Drop Box.
Answer:
Is the $4,000 savings per year sufficient to cover the anticipated college expenses?
No, since the maximum withdrawal per year (for 4 years) earning an 8% interest rate is $12,846.23. Her parents will be $7,153.77 short every year.Is Linda's 529 account underfunded?
Yes, her account will have $42,548 when she turns 18 and that isn't enough to cover her college expenses.What should be the annual deposit in Lynda's 529 account to cover entirely her tuition and fees?
$6,227.51What will be the PV of Lynda's college tuition on her 18th birthday?
If Lynda's parents want to cover her college expenses, they need to have $66,242 on her 529 account.Explanation:
Lynda's 529 account will have the following balance when she is 18:
future value = annual payment x annuity factor (FV annuity factor, 8%, 8 periods) = $4,000 x 10.637 = $42,548
her parents will make 4 withdrawals:
present value = annual withdrawal x annuity factor (PV annuity factor, 8%, 4 periods)
maximum annual withdrawal = $42,548 / 3.3121 = $12,846.23
required balance = $20,000 x 3.3121 = $66,242
annual payment = $66,242 / 10.637 = $6,227.51

Calculate the EAR for First National Bank and First United Bank. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) EAR First National % First United %
Answer:
For First National Bank = 15.05%
For first United bank = 14.92%
Explanation:
The computation of EAR for First National Bank and First United Bank is shown below:-
Effective annual rate EAR = (( 1 + i ÷ n)^n) - 1
as
I indicates the annual interest rate
n indicates the number of the compounding period
For First National Bank
Annual interest rate i = 14.1%
Effective annual rate EAR is
= ((1 + 0.141 ÷ 12)^12) - 1
= 1.1505 - 1
= 0.1505
or
= 15.05%
For first United bank
Effective annual rate EAR is
= (( 1+ 0.144 ÷ 2)^2) - 1
= 1.1492 -1
= 0.1492
or
= 14.92%
What is the current yield for a Bond with a $1,000 par value bond, a 3% annual coupon rate that matures in 5 years, if the opportunity cost is 7%
Answer:
$836
Explanation:
market interest rate = 7%
in order to determine the current price of the bond we must add the present value of face value + coupon payments:
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 7%)⁵ = $712.99
PV of coupon payments = $30 x 4.1002 (PV annuity factor, 7%, 5 periods) = $123.01
current market price = $712.99 + $123.01 = $836
Stellar Company uses a periodic inventory system. For April, when the company sold 600 units, the following information is available. Units Unit Cost Total Cost April 1 inventory280$31$ 8,680 April 15 purchase4503716,650 April 23 purchase 270 40 10,800 1,000 $36,130 Compute the April 30 inventory and the April cost of goods sold using the LIFO method.
Answer:
inventory - $13,120
cost of goods sold - $23,010
Explanation:
LIFO means last in first out. It means that it is the last purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.
the cost of goods sold would be taken from the cost of the newest purchases.
April 23 purchase 270 x 40 = $ 10,800
600 - 270 = 330
April 15 purchase ; 330 x $37 = $12,210
cost of goods sold = $12,210 + $ 10,800 = $23,010
Inventory = the remaining part of the April 15 purchase and beginning inventory
450 - 330 = 120 x $37 = $4440
$4440 + 8,680 = $13,120

In the aftermath of the global economic crisis that started to take hold in 2008, U.S. government budget deficits increased dramatically, yet interest rates on U.S. Treasury debt fell sharply and stayed low for quite some time. Does this make sense? Why or why not
Answer and Explanation:
the supply effect of large deficits should cause interest rates to go up. The economic crisis caused wealth and income to be lower
which brought about a depression inTreasury bond demand, corporate bond supply also fell the more as investment opportunities reduced. A greater leftward shift in the bond
supply curve than the rightward shift in the bond demand curve would bring about a rise in
bond prices and a reduction in interest rates. Because off the seriousness of the global crisis, the United States
treasury debt became safe for forms of investment, with relative risk falling and liquidity
for U.S. treasury debt rising.
This then increased the U.S. treasury bond demand, resulting into higher
bond prices and lower yields.

Vibrant Company had $970,000 of sales in each of three consecutive years 2016–2018, and it purchased merchandise costing $535,000 in each of those years. It also maintained a $270,000 physical inventory from the beginning to the end of that three-year period. In accounting for inventory, it made an error at the end of year 2016 that caused its year-end 2016 inventory to appear on its statements as $250,000 rather than the correct $270,000.

The Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1993 modified the 1986 passive loss restrictions by allowing individuals who materially participate in rental real estate to deduct rental losses from other income. To qualify, how much time must a person devote to personal services to real property trades or business during a tax year
Answer:
The answer is "50%"
Explanation:
Modify the state budget Act of 1974 to boost the FY in 1994 and 1995. It is the maximum federal debt quantity and also to set these other quantities for FY 1996 to 1998. Repudiates in the 1994 and 1995 boundaries on consumption spending.
In the Act of 1993, it modifies the 1986 active losses restrictions so, that it allowed rental damages from other revenues to also be deducted from persons who significantly participated such rental properties.
The person may allocate 50% to his time towards services rendered throughout a tax year from the business.
Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) allow people to shelter some of their income from taxation. Suppose the maximum annual contribution to such accounts is $5,000 per person. Now suppose there is an increase in the maximum contribution, from $5,000 to $8,000 per year.
a. This change in the tax treatment of saving causes the equilibrium interest rate in the market for loanable funds to _ and the level of investment spending to _.
b. An investment tax credit effectively lowers the tax bill of any firm that purchases new capital in the relevant time period. Suppose the government repeals a previously existing investment tax credit.
The repeal of the previously existing tax credit causes the interest rate to _______ and the level of investment to ________.
c. Initially, the government's budget is balanced, then the government responds to the conclusion of a war by significantly reducing defense spending without changing taxes.
This change in spending causes the government to run a budget __________ which ________ national saving. This causes the interest rate to ________ and the level of investment spending to _______
Answer:
a. Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) allow people to shelter some of their income from taxation. Suppose the maximum annual contribution to such accounts is $5,000 per person. Now suppose there is an increase in the maximum contribution, from $5,000 to $8,000 per year.
This change in the tax treatment of saving causes the equilibrium interest rate in the market for loanable funds to _decrease and the level of investment spending to increase_.
b. An investment tax credit effectively lowers the tax bill of any firm that purchases new capital in the relevant time period. Suppose the government repeals a previously existing investment tax credit.
The repeal of the previously existing tax credit causes the interest rate to ___increase____ and the level of investment to ___decrease_____.
c. Initially, the government's budget is balanced, then the government responds to the conclusion of a war by significantly reducing defense spending without changing taxes.
This change in spending causes the government to run a budget ___surplus_______ which ___increases_____ national saving. This causes the interest rate to ___decrease_____ and the level of investment spending to __increase_____
Explanation:
Interest rate decreases with increased savings and this results to increased investment as funds are available at affordable costs. The situation is reversed when the savings are decreased, since the interest rate will increase as there are less savings for investment purposes.
There is a continuous interaction between taxation, savings, government spending, inflation, and investment versus interest rates. This means that interest rates also reflect these factors put together. This why in both fiscal and monetary policies, governments try to strike some balance in order to direct the economy towards desired targets. For example, when the government wants to stimulate the economy, it works to reduce interest rates in order to encourage investments, but this also lowers the propensity to save and encourages the propensity to spend, which trigger inflation and increases interest rate as an aftermath. And this seems to be an endless vicious or virtuous circle, depending on what is achieved by the monetary and fiscal measures in operation.
Marin Inc. issues $2, 084, 300 of 10% bonds due in 13 years with interest payable at year-end. The current market rate of interest for bonds of similar risk is 11%. What amount will Marin receive when it issues the bonds? (Round factor values to 5 decimal places, e.g. 1.25124 and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 458, 581.) Amount received by Marin when bonds were issued $________________
Answer:
$1,943,618.62
Explanation:
the current market price of the bond = present value of the face value + present value of coupon payments
present value of face value = $2,084,300 / (1 + 11%)¹³ = $536,736.96
present value of coupon payments = $208,430 x 6.7499 (annuity factor, 11%, 13 years) = $1,406.881.66
market value of the bonds = $1,943,618.62

Sheridan Company had a 40 percent tax rate. Given the following pre-tax amounts, what would be the income tax expense reported on the face of the income statement?
Sales revenue $ 500,000
Cost of goods sold 300,000
Salaries and wages expense 40,000
Depreciation expense 55,000
Dividend revenue 45,000
Utilities expense 5,000
Extraordinary loss 50,000
Interest expense 10,000
a. $54,000
b. $34,000
c. $36,000
d. $16,000
Answer:
a. $54,000
Explanation:
The computation of income tax expense reported on the face of the income statement is shown below:-
Income before tax = Sales revenue + Dividend revenue - Cost of goods sold - Salaries and wages expenses - Depreciation expenses - Utilities expenses - Interest expenses
= $500,000 + $45,000 - $300,000 - $40,000 - $55,000 - $5,000 - $10,000
= $135,000
Income tax expenses = Before Income tax × Income tax rate
= $135,000 × 40%
= $54,000
