Answer:
The government budget deficit will cause the interest rate to rise, reducing both saving and investment.
Another effect will be the crowding-out of the loanable funds market to private investment. This is because a government in deficit will need to issue more debt in the market, taking up many funds that could have been otherwise invested in private companies.

At the beginning of June, Bezco Toy Company budgeted 24,000 toy action figures to be manufactured in June at standard direct materials and direct labor costs as follows: Direct materials $36,000 Direct labor 8,640 Total $44,640 The standard materials price is $0.6 per pound. The standard direct labor rate is $9 per hour. At the end of June, the actual direct materials and direct labor costs were as follows: Actual direct materials $33,400 Actual direct labor 8,000 Total $41,400 There were no direct materials price or direct labor rate variances for June. In addition, assume no changes in the direct materials inventory balances in June. Bezco Toy Company actually produced 21,600 units during June. Determine the direct materials quantity and direct labor time variances. Round your per unit computations to two decimal places, if required. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number. Direct materials quantity variance $ -3,600 Unfavorable Direct labor time variance $ -864 Unfavorable Feedback
Answer:
Direct material quantity variance = $1,000
Direct labor time variance = $224
Explanation:
Calculation of the direct materials quantity
Direct material quantity variance = Actual quantity at standard price - Standard Quantity at standard price
Direct material quantity variance = $33,400 - (($36,000/24,000) * 21,600
Direct material quantity variance = $$33,400 - ($1.5 * $21,600)
Direct material quantity variance = $33,400 - $32,400
Direct material quantity variance = $1,000
Calculation of direct labor time variances
Direct labor time variance = Actual labor time at standard cost - Standard labor time at standard cost
Direct labor time variance = $8,000- (($8,640/24,000) * $21,600
Direct labor time variance = $8,000 - (0.36) * $21,600
Direct labor time variance = $8,000 - $7,776
Direct labor time variance = $224
If the Fed lowers the interest rate, then A. only consumption expenditure decreases. B. only investment decreases. C. consumption expenditure decreases and investment increases. D. net exports will increase. E. both consumption expenditure and investment decrease.
Answer: D. net exports will increase.
Explanation:
Lower interest rates decrease the value of a currency because less investors will invest in it. This reduced currency value will mean that exports will become cheaper as they are quoted in the domestic currency. As the exports are cheaper, more countries will buy them leading to an increase in Net exports.
The city of New Orleans has 200 advertising companies, 199 of which employ designers of normal ability at a salary of $100,000 a year. The firms that employ designers of normal ability each collect $400,000 in revenue a year, which is just enough to ensure that each earns exactly a normal profit. However, the 200th company employs Janus Jacobs, an unusually talented designer. Because of Jacobs's talent, this company collects $1,000,000 in revenue a year.
Required:
a. How much will Jacobs earn?
b. What proportion of his annual salary will be economic rent?
c. Will the advertising company for which Jacobs works be able to earn an economic profit?
Answer:
a. $700,000
b. 6/7 or 85.7%
c. No they will not.
Explanation:
a. Jacobs will earn the normal salary that the other designers in the other companies are getting in addition to the incremental income he brings to the company as a result of his talents.
Incremental income = Revenue with Jacobs - Revenue without Jacobs
= 1,000,000 - 400,000
= $600,000
Jacobs earnings = Normal designer earnings + incremental income
= 100,000 + 600,000
= $700,000
b. Economic rent is the excess amount that the company is paying Jacobs over what it should normally cost to get a designer.
Normal cost of designer is $100,000. Company is therefore paying an economic rent of $600,000.
Proportion of Jacobs salary that is economic rent = [tex]\frac{Economic rent}{Jacobs annual earning}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{600,000}{700,000}[/tex]
= 6/7 or 85.7%
c. The company hiring Jacobs will not be making an economic profit because for them to make an economic profit they would have to be making more than the $400,000 that the other firms make. They cannot make this amount because for them to do so they would have to reduce the amount they pay Jacobs. If they do so, Jacobs would leave for greener pastures and then they would be making the same $400,000 that the rest are making.

A firm currently sells $1,750,000 annually of an expensive product line. That firm is considering a similar, less expensive, discount line, and projects sales of $380,000. The discount line is expected to reduce sales of the expensive product line to $1,575,000. What is the incremental revenue associated with the discount product line?
Answer:
$175,000
Explanation:
A firm currently makes an amount of $1,750,000 annually from an expensive product line
The firm projects a sales of $380,000
The discount line is expected to cause a reduction in the sales of the expensive product line to $1,575,000
Therefore, the incremental revenue associated with the discount product line can be calculated as follows
= $1,750,000-$1,575,000
= $175,000
Hence the incremental revenue associated with the discount product line is $175,000

The market has an expected rate of return of 11.4 percent. The current nominal expected yield on U.S. Treasury bills is 4.3 percent. The inflation rate is 2.2 percent. What is the market risk premium? (round answer to whole number with two decimal points: i.e., use 1.23 percent instead of 0.0123)
Answer:
7.1%
Explanation:
According to the CAPM,
expected market return = risk free rate + market risk premium
11.4% = 4.3% + market risk premium
market risk premium = 11.4% - 4.3% = 7.1%
On November 1, Alan Company signed a 120-day, 10% note payable, with a face value of $27,000. What is the maturity value of the note on March 1
Answer: $27,900
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that on November 1, Alan Company signed a 120-day, 10% note payable, with a face value of $27,000.
The maturity value of the note on the note on March 1 will be the face value plus the interest. This will be:
= $27,000 + [($27,000 × 10%)/360 × 120]
= $27,000 + [($2700/360) × 120]
= $27,000 + ($7.5 × 120)
= $27,000 + $900
= $27,900
True or False: All other things being equal, firms exhibiting high degrees of operating leverage exhibit lower levels of business risk. This statement is: True False
Answer: False
Explanation:
Operating Leverage is used to measure how much a change in sales translates to a change in income. In general, a higher operating leverage means that a small change in sales leads to a higher change in income. This is quite risky because it shows that even a small error when forecasting sales can lead to a larger error in the cash flow that will be expected from the sales. This makes forecasting harder and increases business risk.
A mutual fund sponsor has three different income funds, holding AAA rated debt securities with similar maturities. Assuming that the expense ratios for the funds are identical, which fund would have the lowest yield from investment income?
Answer: C. Municipal Bond Fund
Explanation:
Municipal Bonds would be the fund with the lowest yield from investment income. This is assuming they are all AAA rated debt securities with similar maturities. This is because Municipal bonds are tax exempt and not very risky so their yields will be quoted as less as they do not have to compensate investors on tax losses.
Corporate Bonds are the riskiest of the options given so they will have the highest yield as they have to compensate for both risk and taxes.
Government Bonds are considered very low when it comes to risk but they are taxed by the Federal Government so have higher yields to compensate for tax.
Centore Inc. has provided the following data for the month of June. There were no beginning inventories; consequently, the direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead applied listed below are all for the current month. Work In Process Finished Goods Cost of Goods Sold Total Direct materials $ 650 $ 7,590 $ 24,860 $ 33,100 Direct labor 2,180 20,700 67,800 90,680 Manufacturing overhead applied 930 7,130 22,940 31,000 Total $ 3,760 $ 35,420 $ 115,600 $ 154,780 Manufacturing overhead for the month was underapplied by $3,000. The company allocates any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead among work in process, finished goods, and cost of goods sold at the end of the month on the basis of the overhead applied during the month in those accounts. The work in process inventory at the end of June after allocation of any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead for the month is closest to:
Answer:
$3,833
Explanation:
The computation of the work in process inventory after allocating the underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead for the month is shown below:
But before that we need to compute the amount i.e added which is given below
Amount added is
= Total work in process × manufacturing overhead underapplied ÷ total cost
= $3,760 × $3,000 ÷$154,780
= $72.88
Now the amount of work in process inventory at the end of June is
= $3,760 + $72.88
= $3,833
Cheryl's marginal rate of substitution between apples and bananas is four apples for one banana. If apples are on the vertical axis and bananas are on the horizontal axis, the slope of Cheryl's indifference curve is
Answer:
The correct answer is: -4 (minus four).
Explanation:
To begin with, the concept of "Marginal Rate of Substitution" indicates how much of a good a consumer is willing to sacrifice to obtain a unit more of another good without changing the total satisfaction of the consumer. Therefore that this term is explained as the difference between one good and the other and that is why that the concept comprehends the slope of the indifference curve. That is why that if Cheryl's MRS of apples for banas is four then she is willing to sacrifice four apples for one banana and that indicates that the slope of the indiference curve is minus four (-4) because the result is always negative because it shows the sacrifice.
When using the cost of production report to analyze the change in direct materials cost per equivalent unit compared to conversion cost per equivalent unit, an investigation may reveal that direct materials costs:_____.
a. will never decrease due to the way the cost is calculated.
b. will never increase due to the way the cost is calculated.
c. may increase or decrease between periods, depending on the fluctuation of the cost of the direct materials.
d. will only increase if conversion costs increase as well.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option C: May increase or decrease between periods, depending on the fluctuation of the cost of the direct materials.
Explanation:
To begin with, in the field of business a manager or an account would perfectly know that when using the cost of production report with the purpose to analyze the change in direct materials costs per equivalent unit compared to conversion cost per unit the investigation will reveal that the direct material costs may increase or decrease between periods, depending on the fluctuation of the cost of those materials due to the fact that the fluctuation mentioned will arise if the company starts using more direct material in the production so that means that the volumen will increase as well as the costs of it

You have been given this probability distribution for the holding-period return for KMP stock: Stock of the Economy Probability HPR Boom 0.30 18 % Normal growth 0.50 12 % Recession 0.20 – 5 % What is the expected holding-period return for KMP stock?
Answer: 12.4%
Explanation:
The Expected return for a stock is the summation of all the returns given the probability of all market conditions.
Expected Return = ∑(Probability of return * return)
= (0.30 * 18%) + (0.50 * 12%) + (0.20 * 5%)
= 0.054 + 0.06 + 0.01
= 0.124
= 12.4%
On January 1, you sold short one round lot (that is, 100 shares) of Four Sisters stock at $21 per share. On March 1, a dividend of $2 per share was paid. On April 1, you covered the short sale by buying the stock at a price of $15 per share. You paid 50 cents per share in commissions for each transaction. What is the value of your account on April 1?
Answer:
The value of your account on April 1 is $300
Explanation:
Proceed from short sales
Sales proceed = $2,100 ($21 * 100 shares)
Less Commission= $50 ($0.50 * 100 shares)
Proceeds = $2,050
Dividend payment
= 100 shares * $2
=$200
Total Cost of buy back
Buy back= $1,500 ($15 * 100 shares)
Add commission= $50 ($0.50 * 100 shares)
Total cost = $1,550
Value of Account on April 1
Proceed = $2,050
Less Dividend payment = $200
Less Total cost of buy back= $1,550
Value of Account = $300
Therefore, the value of your account on April 1 is $300
Polly Smith, a supervisor at Kroger's, was recently evaluated by her subordinates. Their responses indicated that Polly uses Theory X assumptions when dealing with employees. For example, one of the comments indicated that she treats employees as if they:_______.
a. naturally like work.
b. will work toward goals they are committed to.
c. have little ambition.
d. have the potential to accomplish the organization's goals.
e. seek out and accept responsibility.
Answer:
c. have little ambition.
Explanation:
Theory X is a theory that refers to people's behavior at work and suggests that managers tend to think that people are not motivated and don't like to work, avoid responsibility, don't have ambition and because of that, they have to be rewarded or punished to complete their job. According to that, the answer is that for example, one of the comments indicated that she treats employees as if they have little ambition because theory X says that managers have a negative opinion of people.
The other options are not right because they all refer to theory Y in which managers tend to have a positive view of their workers and think that they like their work, are motivated and are willing to take responsibility.

Sean, Yvette, and Bob are the only voters in a small society and are considering whether to publicly finance a project.
Indicate in the following table what each individuals vote would be and whether the public project will be funded
Name Marginal Cost Marginal Benefit Vote
Sean $100 $108
Yvette $100 $12
Bob $100 $125
Total $300 $245
If this same project were taking place in the private sector, a firm ________ fund the project.
In private markets, decisions to provide goods or services to the market are generally made if marginal benefits ________ marginal costs. in comparison, the decisions to provide goods and services by governments are made through _______. as a result, governments may approve projects whose costs _________ their benefits.
Answer:
1. a. Average Tax rate = 130/2,000 = 6.5%
Marginal Tax Rate = (130 - 0)/ (2,000 - 0) = 6.5%
b. Average Tax rate = 650/10,000 = 6.5%
Marginal Tax Rate = [tex]\frac{650-130}{10,000-2,000}[/tex] = 6.5%
c. Average Tax rate = 1,300/20,000 = 6.5%
Marginal Tax Rate = [tex]\frac{1,300-650}{20,000-10,000}[/tex] = 6.5%
d. Average Tax rate = 6,500/100,000 = 6.5%
Marginal Tax Rate = [tex]\frac{6,500-1,300}{100,000-20,000}[/tex] = 6.5%
2. The tax rates shown in this table are: Proportional
Proportional Taxes take the same percentage of income across all income groups.
3. A. True
4. Sean and Bob would both vote yes as the Marginal Benefit of the project exceeds their marginal cost but project will not be funded in the end as the Total Marginal Cost exceeds Total Marginal benefit. Sean and Bob may want to pay but Yvette will not.
5. If this same project were taking place in the private sector, a firm would not fund the project.
6. In private markets, decisions to provide goods or services to the market are generally made if marginal benefits exceed marginal costs
7. As a result, governments may approve projects whose costs exceed their benefits.
Sharon transfers to Russ a life insurance policy with a cash surrender value of $30,000 and a face value of $100,000 in exchange for real estate. Russ continues to pay the premiums on the policy until Sharon dies 7 years later. At that time, Russ has paid $14,000 in premiums, and he collects the $100,000 face value. How much of the proceeds, if any, are taxable to Russ?
Answer: $56,000
Explanation:
When a life insurance policy is transferred the taxable amount at death is the value of proceeds that the policy gives less the Cash surrender value and the premiums that have already been paid by the formula;
Taxable Proceeds = Total Proceeds received - (Cash Surrender Value + Premiums paid)
Taxable Proceeds = 100,000 - (30,000 + 14,000)
Taxable Proceeds = $56,000

A 20-year maturity bond with par value $1,000 makes semiannual coupon payments at a coupon rate of 8%. Find the bond equivalent and effective annual yield to maturity of the bond if the bond price is $950. (Round your intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
The bond equivalent yield to maturity = 8.52%
The effective annual yield to maturity of the bond = 8.71%
Explanation:
Here, we start with calculating the yield to maturity YTM using the financial calculator
To find the YTM, we need to put the following values in the financial calculator:
N = 20*2 = 40;
PV = -950;
PMT = [8%/2]*1000 = 40;
FV = 1000;
Press CPT, then I/Y, which gives us 4.26
So, Periodic Rate = 4.26%
Bond equivalent yield = Periodic Rate * No. of compounding periods in a year
= 4.26% * 2 = 8.52%
effective annual yield rate = [1 + Periodic Rate]^(No. of compounding periods in a year) - 1
= [1 + 0.0426]^2 - 1 = 1.0871 - 1 = 0.0871, or 8.71%

Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that during the 1990s, the economy of the United States was experiencing long-run economic growth, low unemployment, and a stable inflation rate.
The reason for this is due to an increase in aggregate demand and short-run aggregate supply. This two factors will lead to the long run economic growth which the United States experienced.
