Answer:
The additional worker should be hired.
Explanation:
we need to calculate the marginal revenue product and than see if it is higher or lower than the marginal cost of hiring the extra worker.
MRP = MPP x price per unit sold = 4 units per hour x $9 per unit = $36 per hour
Marginal cost = $35 per hour
since the MRP ($36) is higher than the MC ($35), then the additional worker should be hired.
At the beginning of the year, Ann and Becky own equally all of the stock of Whitman, Inc., an S corporation. Whitman generates a $120,000 loss for the year. On the 189th day of the year, Ann sells her half of the Whitman stock to her son, Scott. Becky's stock basis is $41,300 How much of the Whitman loss belongs to Ann and Becky? In your computations, round any divisions to four decimal places. Round the final answer to the nearest dollar. Assume a 365 day year. Ann's share of Whitman's loss is $_______ and Becky's share of the loss is $______ However,______ loss is limited to $__________.
Answer:
1. Share of Ann's Loss: $31,048
2. Share of Becky's Loss: $60,000
3. Maximum Loss Allowed: $41,300
Explanation:
The total loss for the year is $120,000 and both Ann and Becky own 50% each.
1. Share of Ann's Loss:
Ann had ownership of Whitman Inc. for 189 days which means the 50% of the total loss would be further lessened by 189/365 factor.
Mathematically:
Ann's Loss = $1,20,000 * 50% * (189/365) = $31,048 Loss
2. Share of Becky's Loss:
This means that the share of loss for Becky would be = $120,000 * 50%
= $60,000
3. Maximum Loss Allowed:
As the stock basis is $41,300, hence the maximum loss for Becky would be $41,300.

the 360 degree feedback performance appraisal system tries to improve performance ratings by forcing managers to :
Answer:
Include information from a wide range of sources in their reviews.
Explanation:
Performance appraisal refers to the evaluation of employees' performance by the human resource managers in an organization. The 360-degree feedback performance appraisal system is a type of performance appraisal that sources information about an employee from various sources, which ranges from subordinates, lateral and supervisory sources. This implies that the manager seeks to gain insight about the employee from his fellow employees, from his supervisors, his subordinates, and sometimes from external sources such as the customers who interact with that employee on a daily basis.
Most managers use this system of appraisal for developmental purposes and evaluation of an employee's performance. Information sourced can then be used to help the employees improve on their skills or promote/demote them.
If $1000 was invested in government bonds in 1924, how much it will be worth in 1994 given that the bonds averaged 7% return per year?
Answer:
The total money in 1994 is $113989.392.
Explanation:
Present value of invested money (PV) = $1000
Total number of years for which the money is invested (n ) = 70 years
The interest rate (r ) = 7%
Now we have to calculate the total amount after 70 years when the invested money earns 7% interest rate.
The amount after 70 years.
[tex]= PV( 1 + r)^{n} \\= 1000 (1 + 0.07)^{70} \\= 113989.392 \ dollars.[/tex]

Therefore, the IRS should allow Quan to deduct :
Rent = $10,000,
Supplies = $5,000
Total = $15,000

Under which conditions, according to the Porter five-forces model, can a supplier group gain power?
a. When there is low differentiation by the supplier
b. When there is a lack of importance of the buyer to the supplier group
c. When there is not a dominance by a few suppliers
d. When the supplier group does not pose a threat of forward integration
Answer:
b. When there is a lack of importance of the buyer to the supplier group
Explanation:
According to Porter there are five forces that can cause rivalry in a production industry. These are supplier power, threat of new entrants, buyer power, threat of substitutes, and degree of rivalry.
Supplier power is when suppliers are able to benefit from the producers by increasing prices of inputs and gaining some industry profit. Since suppliers supply input and labour to the producer they have a greater control of there is lack of importance of the buyer to the supplier group.
This means that the supplier group has more control on price and quality it supplies to the buyer with buyer having little choice but to buy.
If however buyer is more important to the supplier it means they can control price and quality of inputs

How might an interactive leader like Mary Barra communicate a policy change that impacts all GM employees from executive-level managers to assembly line workers
Answer:
a. Create task forces at different levels of the organization that communicate the benefits of the policy change
c. Hold a series of town hall meetings to discuss the policy change and listen to employee concerns
d. Hold informal meetings with key managers, department heads, and staff employees to discuss the policy change to develop best practices for communicating the change to other employees
Explanation:
Creating a task force at different levels in GM whose sole purpose is to communicate the new policy change and all the effects it would have will ensure that employees at all levels have a better chance of learning of the changes.
Also by holding a series of Town Hall meetings where employees can voice concerns to Mary Barra and other top executives for clarification would be very useful in the drive to helping the employees learn more about the policy change because they will hear it "from the horse's mouth" so to speak.
Informal meetings with front-line and other leaders in the company about the change can go a long way in the information being disseminated as the leaders will take the information back to their subordinates and will be more informed as to how to clarify concerns they may have.

Kaye Co. issued $7 million face amount of 5%, 10-year bonds on April 1, 2013. The bonds pay interest on an annual basis on March 31 each year. Required: a. Assume that market interest rates were slightly lower than 5% when the bonds were sold. Would the proceeds from the bond issue have been more than, less than, or equal to the face amount?
Answer:
By extracting the information
Bond issued= 7 million
Maturity period= 10 years
Risk free or Interest rate = 5%
As the market interest value is lesser than 5% of the stated interest rate, thus the bond will be sold for more than its face amount. The lesser the discount rate or market interest rate, the greater the present value of the associated cash flow with the bond becomes. Buyer are ready to pay a premium for getting more interest than they may perhaps get in the marketplace intended for a bond of parallel risk and maturity.

Suppose that General Motors Acceptance Corporation issued a bond with 10 years until maturity, a face value of $ 1 comma 000, and a coupon rate of 7.5 % (annual payments). The yield to maturity on this bond when it was issued was 6.3 %. Assuming the yield to maturity remains constant, what is the price of the bond immediately before it makes its first coupon payment?
Answer:
$1,159.22
Explanation:
to determine the price of the bond immediately after it pays its first coupon:
YTM = {coupon rate + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]
0.063 = {75 + [(1,000 - market value)/9]} / [(1,000 + market value)/2]
0.0315 x (1,000 + x) = 75 + [(1,000 - x)/9]
31.5 + 0.0315x = 75 + 111.11 - 0.1111x
0.0315x + 0.1111x = 154.61
0.1426x = 154.61
x = 154.61 / 0.1426 = $1,084.22
the price of the bond immediately before it makes its first coupon payment = $1,084.22 + $75 = $1,159.22

b. Inflation has been consistently high for several years.
c. The company has a large amount of interest payments related to other outstanding loans.
d. The company has state-of-the-art automated equipment which enhances the efficiency of its operating process.
Answer:
A Banker's Analysis of an Automotive Company for Loan
Most important consideration in determining grant of loan:
c. The company has a large amount of interest payments related to other outstanding loans.
Explanation:
The large amount of interest payments related to other outstanding loans means that the automotive company is highly leveraged. To grant a bank loan will have added leverage risk.
In analyzing the request for a loan, a bank should consider the borrowing company's credit history. With so much in interest payments, the company has already borrowed heavily. The banker should consider the application of the past debts. Were they used in investments or for working capital purposes or to repay liabilities and shareholders.
The banker also needs to review the cash flow history with line with the above, to know how the past debts have been applied, as already stated above. In reviewing the cash flow history, the projections of the company should be tested for sustainability. "Has the company been meeting its past projections?" is a relevant question to understand.#
Lastly, the banker should also consider the existence of collateral for the loan, especially given that the company is highly leveraged. Are there unencumbered assets that can serve as collateral in case of default?

E-Eyes just issued some new preferred stock. The issue will pay an annual dividend of $13 in perpetuity, beginning 11 years from now. If the market requires a 6 percent return on this investment, how much does a share of preferred stock cost today
Answer:
The cost of preferred stock today is $114.14
Explanation:
To calculate the cost of preferred stock today, we first need to determine the cost of each share of preferred stock 11 years from now when it starts paying dividends and then discount it back to today's value.
The preferred stock pays a constant dividend and after equal interval of time for an indefinite period. Thus, it is like a perpetuity. The present value of perpetuity is,
Present value = Dividend / r
Where,
r is the required rate of return
Value Year 11 = 13 / 0.06
Value Year 11 = 216.6666667
The present value is,
Present value = 216.6666667 / (1+0.06)^11
Present value = $114.137 rounded off to $114.14
"A customer buys 10M of Allied Corporation 8 1/4% debentures, M '34, at 90 on Thursday, Oct 9th. The interest payment dates are Feb. 1st and Aug. 1st. The trade settled on Monday, October 13th. The amount of the next interest payment will be:"
Answer: $412.50
Explanation:
10M bonds refers to bonds that are valued at $10,000.
The interest payment on these debentures are twice in a year meaning that they are semi-annual.
The interest paid is 8 1/4% which is 8.25%.
The interest paid is therefore;
= 8.25% * 10,000
= $825
Interest is stated at an annual rate so this figure is for the year but the interest is to be paid semi-annually;
= 825/2
= $412.50

In a simple economy (assume there are no taxes, thus Y is disposable income), the consumption function is Upper C equals 1000 plus 0.9 Upper YC = 1000 + 0.9Y.
Thus, autonomous consumption is _________ nothing and the marginal propensity to consume is ______________.
A consumer whose income increases by $100 will increase consumption by $ ____________.
Answer:
Autonomous consumption is $1,000 and the marginal propensity to consume is 0.9.
A consumer whose income increases by $100 will increase consumption by $90.
Explanation:
Given C = 1000 + 0.9Y
Autonomous consumption refers to consumption expenditure of consumers that does not depend on income. Therefore, autonomous consumption is therefore the consumption expenditure made by the consumers when they do not have income or when income is zero (i.e. when Y = 0).
Substituting for Y = 0 into the consumption function, we can obtain autonomous consumption is follows:
Autonomous consumption = 1000 + (0.9 * 0) = 1,000
The marginal propensity to consume refers to the proportion of the increase in disposable income that is spent on the consumption of goods and services by a consumer. From the consumption function, the marginal propensity to consume is 0.9.
Since marginal propensity to consume is 0.9, a consumer whose income increases by $100 will therefore increase consumption by $90 (i.e. $100 * 0.9 = $90).
