The measurement of the Aggregate Supply
Curve takes into account all goods and
services and their corresponding average price
level. What is the label for the Y-Axis?
A. average income
B. maximum price level
C. average price level
Answer:
C; Average Price Level
Explanation:
Here, we want to get what is on the label of the y-axis
The aggregate supply curve is simply a plot of the average price level against the real GDP( gross domestic product)
From this definition, we can see that we have the average price level on the y-axis and we have the real GDP on the x-axis
The money supply increased, and the AD curve did not shift to the right. This is consistent with the:________
a) monetarist transmission mechanism when there is a liquidity trap.
b) Keynesian transmission mechanism when there is a liquidity trap.
c) monetarist transmission mechanism when there is interest-insensitive investment.
d) Keynesian transmission mechanism when there is either a liquidity trap or interest-insensitive investment.
Answer:
b) Keynesian transmission mechanism when there is a liquidity trap.
Explanation:
Since the interest rate is so low, the public will have no incentive to deposit their cash into a bank or invest it in a company. This is a situation where the public will hold to their cash becasue they feel that a negative interest rate is possible. This type of situation could occur if the real interest rate is 0 and the public believes that the possibility of deflation exists and they will be better of by holding to their money.
RJR Nabisco recently experienced a market reevaluation due to a number of tobacco lawsuits. The firm has a bond outstanding with 15 years to maturity, and a coupon rate of 8 percent, with interest being paid semiannually. The required yield to maturity has risen to 16%. What is the price of the RJR Nabisco bond? a) $1,000 b) $804 c) $767 d) $550
Answer:
d) $550
Explanation:
The computation of the price of the RJR bond is given below;
Given that
Future value assume be $1,000
NPER = 15 × 2 = 30
PMT = $1,000 × 8% ÷ 2 = $40
RATE = 16% ÷ 2 = 8%
The formula is shown below:
=-PV(RATE,NPER,PMT,FV,TYPE)
After applying the above formula, the present value is $550
Lewis Co. sold merchandise to AdCo for $60,000 and received $60,000 for that sale one month later. One week prior to receiving payment from AdCo, Lewis made a $10,000 payment to AdCo for advertising services that have a fair value of $7,500. After accounting for any necessary adjustments, how much revenue should Lewis Co. record for the merchandise sold to AdCo?
Answer:
$57,500
Explanation:
Calculation to determine how much revenue should Lewis Co. record for the merchandise sold to AdCo
Using this formula
Revenue=Transactions price-(Payment to advertisement -Fair value)
Let plug in the formula
Revenue=$60,000-($10,000-$7,500)
Revenue=$60,000-$2,500
Revenue=$57,500
Therefore the amount of revenue that Lewis Co. should record for the merchandise sold to AdCo is $57,500
Determine whether each of the following statements is true, false or uncertain, and brieflyjustify your answer (a few sentences). No credit will be given for unsupported answers.1. The optimal tariff for a large open economy is 0.2. Multinational firms are important primarily in labor-intensive industries.3. Horizontal FDI is more likely to occur when trade costs are low but plant-level economiesof scale are high.4. For a small open economy, import tariffs and import quotas have identical effects onprices, welfare, and import levels.5. The median voter theory has been very successful at explaining actual trade policyoutcomes.
Answer:
1) False
2) Uncertain
3) False
4) False
5) True
Explanation:
1) Optimal tariff for a Large open economy is not zero ( 0 ) and this is because a large open economy has control over interest rates both domestically and in a larger scale, and its engaged in exports and imports trades with other economies of the world. hence its Optimal tariff should be > 0
2) The Importance of Multinational firms primarily in labor-intensive industries is Uncertain because Multinational firms can have a positive effect on labor by providing them with better wages and it can also affect labor negatively by laying off incompetent workers in the long run
3) Horizontal FDI is less likely to occur when the trade costs are low but plant-level economies of scale are high because lower trade costs will lead to a vertical FDI and not horizontal FDI
4) In an open economy the effects of import tariffs and import quotas does not have same effect on prices and import levels . reduction in import quota reduces import levels while increase in tariffs affects pricing of goods and services
5) True because increase in inequality and a country's endowment been held constant will raise trade barriers in a capital abundant economy and vice versa for less capital abundant economy .

Gander, Inc. is considering two projects with the following cash flows: Year Project X Project Y 0 ($100,000) ($100,000) 1 40,000 50,000 2 40,000 0 3 40,000 0 4 40,000 0 5 40,000 250,000 Gander uses the payback period method of capital budgeting and accepts only projects with payback periods of 3 years or less. a. If the projects are presented as stand-alone opportunities, which one(s) would Gander accept
Answer: Project X
Explanation:
Project X payback period:
Payback period if the inflow is constant = Investment amount / Annual inflow
= 100,000 / 40,000
= 2.5 years
Project Y payback period:
= Year before payback + Amount remaining / Cash inflow in year of payback
Project Y makes no inflows from year 2 to 4 and brings in a substantial amount in year 5. Year before payback must be 4 years therefore.
Amount remaining = 100,000 - 50,000 in first year
= $50,000
= 4 + 50,000 / 250,000
= 4.2 years
Project X will be chosen as its payback period is less than 3 years.

four years ago, a person borrowed $10,000 at an intereate rate of 8% compounded annually and agreed to pay it back in equal payments over a ten-year period. This same person now wants to pay off the reaminaing amount of the loan. How much should this person pay
Answer:
$5,063.95
Explanation:
Missing word "Assume he has just made the fourth payment."
Borrowed Amount = $10,000
Interest rate (Compounded annually) = 8%
Number of Payments = 10
Calculating Monthly Payment using the MS-Excel PMT Function
Annual Payment = PMT(Rate, Nper, -PV)
Annual Payment = PMT(8%, 10, 10000)
Annual Payment = $1,490.30
Calculating Present Value of 4 payments using the MS-Excel PV Function
Present Value = PV(Rate, Nper, -PMT)
Present Value = PV(8%, 10, -1,490.30)
Present Value = $4,936.05
So, the remaining balance of borrowed amount he should pay is $5,063.95 ($10,000 - $4,936.05).

Resources of economic value owned by the company
Explanation:
An asset is a resource controlled by the entity (company or business) and from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity as a result of having this entity.
Assets can be divided into non-current and current assets. Non current assets are assets that are expected to be retained by the business for at least a year while current assets are assets that are constantly changing during the course of the business's activities.
Megan Company has fixed costs of $429,450. The unit selling price, variable cost per unit, and contribution margin per unit for the company's two products are provided below. Product Selling Price Variable Cost per Unit Contribution Margin per Unit Q $320 $150 $170 Z 220 180 40 The sales mix for products Q and Z is 50% and 50%, respectively. Determine the break-even point in units of Q and Z. If required, round your answers to the nearest whole number. a. Product Q fill in the blank 1 units b. Product Z fill in the blank 2 units
Answer:Break-even point (units)= 4,090units ,
a. Product Q -2,045 units
b. Product Z -2,045 units
Explanation:
Given
Product Selling Price Variable Cost per Unit Contribution Margin per Unit Q $320 $150 $170
Z 220 180 40
Using the formulae
Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin
But weighted Q contribution: $170 x 50% = $ 85
weighted Z contribution: $ 40 x 50% = $ 20
Total Mix contribution(Weighted average contribution margin)=$105
Break-even point (units)= $429,450/ $105
Break-even point (units)= 4,090units
Now, for each product:
Q= 4,090units x 50%= 2,045 units
Z= 4,090units x 50%= 2,045 units
Therefore,
a. Product Q -2,045 units
b. Product Z -2,045 units
Penny decided that the interest shown by the East Rutherford, N.J., Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Alliance justified further research and the creation of a projected income statement as part of an evaluation of the feasibility of starting a business. She found a small industrial space she could rent for $1,000 per month. She estimated her initial need for employees to be a total of four, whom she would pay $10 an hour. A 40-hour work week was planned. She also budgeted $500 a week to pay herself. Assume everyone, including Penny, works 52 weeks per year. Her expenses associated with payroll (e.g., social security, unemployment insurance, fringe benefits) amounted to 20% of total compensation. Other expenses were estimated as:
Answer:
Total Annual Expense = $173040
Explanation:
Note: This question is incomplete and lacks the data and instruction for the question to solve it. I have retrieved its data from the internet. However, I will be solving this by using the data to find out the expenses portion of an annual income statement.
Solution:
Data Given:
Rent = $1000 of a month
Owner Salary = $500 per week
Employee Wages = $10 an hour
Total employees = 4
Working hours = 40 hours work week
Working weeks in year = 52 weeks.
Payroll Expense = 20% of the total compensation
Shipping = $250/week
Insurance = $50/week
Office Supplies = $25/week
Acct/Legal = $50/week
Utilities = $200/week
Misc = $100/week
Following is the expenses portion of an annual income statement for Penny blossoms:
Rent = $1000 x 12 = $12000
Owner Salary = ($500 x 4) x 12 = $24000
Employee Wages = $10 an hour = (10 x 40) x 52 x 4 = $83200
Payroll Expense = 20% of the total compensation = 20% x ($83200 + $24000) = $21440
Shipping = $250/week = (250 x 4) x 12 = $12000
Insurance = $50/week = (50 x 4) x 12 = $2400
Office Supplies = $25/week = 25 x 4 x 12 = $1200
Acct/Legal = $50/week = 50 x 4 x 12 = $2400
Utilities = $200/week = 200 x 4 x 12 = $9600
Misc = $100/week = 100 x 4 x 12 = $4800
Total Expense is the sum of all annual expenses.
Total Expense = $173040
g Because of the downward sloping demand curve, a monopolist can increase its revenue is by ________. Group of answer choices only increasing price on its goods only decreasing price on its goods increasing or decreasing price of its good. charging the maximum price
Answer:
only increasing price on its goods
Explanation:
A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry. there are usually high barriers to entry of firms. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
An example of a monopoly is a utility company
A natural monopoly occurs due to the high start-up costs or a large economies of scale.
Natural monopolies are usually the only company providing a service in a particular region
Because the demand curve for a monopoly is downward sloping, marginal revenue is less than price. As prices fall, more units of the product are bought.
In a monopoly When the average cost is falling, the marginal cost lies below the average cost. If the government sets price to be equal to marginal cost, which lies below the average cost, the monopoly would incur losses

Prepaid insurance $0, and Insurance expense $4,200.c. Prepaid insurance $2,100, and Insurance expense $2,100.d. Prepaid insurance $3,675, and Insurance expense $525.
Answer:
d. Prepaid insurance $3,675, and Insurance expense $525.
Explanation:
Preparation of the journal entry to determine which of the following account balances are correct after adjusting entries have been made
Based on the information given the account balances that are correct after adjusting entries have been made will be PREPAID INSURANCE $3,675, and INSURANCE EXPENSE $525.
First step is to calculate the amount the company pay per month
Amount pay per month=$4,200/24 months

On April 30, 2009, Tilton Products purchased machinery for $88,000. The useful life of this machinery is estimated at 8 years, with an $8,000 residual value. Assume that in its financial statements, Tilton Products uses straight-line depreciation and rounds depreciation for fractional years to the nearest month. Total Accumulated Depreciation on this machinery at the end of 2010 will be:
Answer:
$16,667
Explanation:
Annual Depreciation = (Original Value - Residual Value) / Useful Life
Annual Depreciation = ($88,000 - $8,000) / 8
Annual Depreciation = $10,000 [Depreciation for 2010 = $10,000]
Depreciation for 2009 = $10000 * 8/12
Depreciation for 2009 = $6,667
Total Accumulated Depreciation = $10,000 + $6,667
Total Accumulated Depreciation = $16,667
So, the total accumulated depreciation on this machinery at the end of 2010 will be $16,667.
Rudd Clothiers is a small company that manufactures tall-men's suits. The company has used a standard cost accounting system. In May 2017, 11,250 suits were produced.

Compute the total, price, and quantity variances for (1) materials and (2) labor. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125.)
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
1. The total, price, and quantity variances for materials will be:
Actual Production = 11250
Standard Quantity of Direct Material Required per unit = 8
Standard Quantity of Direct Material required (SQ) = 11250*l × 8 = 90000
Standard Price per Yard (SP) = 4.4
Actual Direct Material (AQ) = 90500
Actual Price per Pound (AP) = 4.15
Total Material Variance:
= (SP × SQ) - (AP × AQ)
= (4.40 × 90000) - (4.15 × 90500)
= 396000 - 375575
= 20425
Direct Material Price Variance:
= AQ × (SP - AP)
= 90500 × (4.40 - 4.15)
= 90500 × 0.25
= 22625 Favourable
Direct materials quantity variance:
= SP × (SQ - AQ)
= 4.40 × (90000 - 90500)
= 4.40 × -500
= -2200 Unfavourable
2. The total, price, and quantity variances for labor will be:
Actual Production = 11250
Standard Hours Required per unit = 1.2
Standard Hours required (SH) = 11250 × 1.20 = 13500
Standard Rate per Hour (SR) = 13.4
Actual Hours required (AH) = 14250
Actual Rate per Hour (AR) = 14.1
Total Labour Variance:
= (SR × SH) - (AR × AH)
= (13.40 × 13500) - (14.10 × 14250)
= 180900 - 200925
= -20025 Unfavourable
Dircet Labour RateVariance:
= AH × (SR - AR)
= 14250 × (13.40 - 14.10)
= 14250 × -0.7
= -9975 Unfavourable
Direct Labour efficiency variance:
= SR × (SH - AH)
= 13.40 × (13500 - 14250)
