Most economists believe that real economic variables and nominal economic variables behave independently of each other in the long run. For example, an increase in the money supply, a _____________ variable, will cause the price level, a __________ variable, to increase but will have no long-run effect on the quantity of goods and services the economy can produce, a _____________ variable. The notion that an increase in the quantity of money will impact the price level but not the output level is known as___________________.

Answers

Answer:

nominal; nominal; real; the classical dichotomy.

Explanation:

Most economists believe that real economic variables and nominal economic variables behave independently of each other in the long run. For example, an increase in the money supply, a nominal variable, will cause the price level, a nominal variable, to increase but will have no long-run effect on the quantity of goods and services the economy can produce, a real variable. The notion that an increase in the quantity of money will impact the price level but not the output level is known as the classical dichotomy.

A nominal variable is the monetary value of a security such as bonds or stocks, without considering any change in price caused by inflation. It is also referred to as the par value or face value.

A real variable measures goods and services taking into consideration any change in price or that has been adjusted for inflation so as to allow comparison of goods with respect to another goods or services.

Hence, if the money supply is increased, it will cause an increase in the price of goods and services but will have no effect on the gross domestic product (GDP), which is known as the classical dichotomy.

On November 1, Jasper Company loaned another company $100,000 at a 6.0% interest rate. The note receivable plus interest will not be collected until March 1 of the following year. The company's annual accounting period ends on December 31. The amount of interest revenue that should be reported in the first year is:

Answers

Answer:

The amount of interest revenue that should be reported in the first year is $1,000

Explanation:

As we know Note receivable is a type of investment on which the Noteholder receives te interest over the note amount.

Value of Note = $100,000

Rate  = 6%

until 31 December only two months has been passed and the interest revenue of only 2 months will be recognized as follow

Interst Revenue = $100,000 x 6% x 2/12 = $1,000

So the interest revenue of $1,000 should be reported in the first year.

Consider a four-year project with the following information:
initial fixed asset investment = $470,000; straight-line depreciation to zero over the four-year life; zero salvage value; price = $30; variable costs = $20; fixed costs = $160,000; quantity sold = 77,000 units; tax rate = 30 percent.
1. What is the degree of operating leverage at the given level of output?
2. What is the degree of operating leverage at the accounting break-even level of output?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

1. The computation of the Degree of operating leverage is

= Quantity sold × (Price - Variable cost) ÷ (Quantity sold × (Price - Variable cost) - Fixed cost)

where,

Fixed cost = $160,000 + $470,000 ÷ 4

= $277,500

Now the degree of operating leverage is  

= 77000 × ($30 - $20) ÷ ($77,000 × ($30 - $20) - $277,500)

= 1.56

2. The Accounting Break-even level of output  is

The break even point is

= Fixed cost ÷ (Price - Variable cost)

= $277500 ÷ ($30 - $20)

= $27,750

As the degree of operating leverage could not be calculated as the denominator comes to zero

Units Unit Cost Total Cost April 1 inventory 330 $22 $7,260 April 15 purchase 380 26 9,880 April 23 purchase 290 29 8,410 1,000 $25,550 Required:Compute the April 30 inventory and the April cost of goods sold using the FIFO method.

Answers

Answer:

Ending inventory= $15,170

COGS= $10,380

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Units sold= 450

April 1 inventory= 330 units for $22

April 15 purchase= 380 units for $26

April 23 purchase= 290 units for $29

First, we need to calculate the number of units in ending inventory:

Ending inventory units= 1,000 - 450= 550 units

Now, to calculate the ending inventory under the FIFO (First-in, first-out) method, we need to use the cost of the last units incorporated into inventory.

Ending inventory= 290*29 + 260*26= $15,170

COGS= 330*22 + 120*26= $10,380

Jobs in which employees must frequently display emotions that oppose their genuine emotion require more emotional labor.
a) true
b) false

Answers

Answer:

a) true.

Explanation:

This statement is true, because emotions are feelings inherent to the human being, and therefore they also directly influence work, even though there is a posture geared more to the execution of reason due to professional posture than to emotions.

The ideal is therefore that there is a management aimed at creating an organizational culture aimed at the development of positive emotions, such as ethics, mutual respect, adequate communication, preservation of individual values, etc.

Emotions are capable of directly influencing the actions of employees, when they are positive they motivate and encourage the performance of productive work, when they are negative it can generate conflicts, demotivation, employee turnover, etc.

You have a portfolio that is invested 16 percent in Stock A, 36 percent in Stock B, and 48 percent in Stock C. The betas of the stocks are .61, 1.16, and 1.45, respectively. What is the beta of the portfolio

Answers

Answer:

Beta= 1.2112

Proportion= 0.16

Beta= 0.61

Stock B:

Proportion= 0.36

Beta= 1.16

Stock C:

Proportion= 0.48

Effective Annual Yield is 7.09%

Explanation:

The Effective Annual Yield can be calculated as under:

Effective Annual Yield =    (1    +    YTM / n)^n     - 1

Here,

YTM is 6.97%

n is 12/6 for semi annual coupon payments

By putting values, we have:

Effective Annual Yield =    (1   +   6.97% / 2)^2    - 1

Gitano Products operates a job-order costing system and applies overhead cost to jobs on the basis of the direct materials uses in production (not on the basis of raw materials). Its predetermined overhead rate was based on a cost formula that estimated $126,000 of manufacturing overhead for an estimated allocation base of $90,000 direct material dollars to be used in production. The Company has provided the following data for the just completed year:

Purchase of raw materials $138,000
Direct Labor Cost $86,000

Manufacturing Overhead Costs:

Indirect Labor $122,600
Property Taxes $8,900
depreciation of equipment $15,000
Maintenance $15,000
Insurance $10,000
Rent, building $35,000

Beginning Ending
Raw Materials $25,000 $15,000
Work in Process $49,000 $39,000
Finished Goods $74,000 $59,000

Required:
a. Compute the predetermined overhead rate for the year.
b. Compute the amount of underapplied or overapplied overhead for the year.
c. Prepare a schedule of cost of goods manufactured for the year. Assume all raw materials are used in production as direct materials.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

1. The computation of the predetermined overhead rate is shown below;

Predetermined Overhead Rate is

= Estimated Manufacturing Overhead ÷ Estimated Allocation Base × 100

= $126,000 ÷ $90,000

= 140%

2. Now the  amount of underapplied or overapplied overhead is

But before that we need to find out the overhead applied and overhead incurred  which is

= (Opening Value of Direct Material + Purchase of Direct Material - Closing Value of Direct Material) × Predetermined Overhead Rate

= ($25,000 + 138,000 - $15,000) × 140%

= $207,200

Now the Overhead Incurred is

Indirect Labor $122,600

Property Taxes $8,900

depreciation of equipment $15,000

Maintenance $15,000

Insurance $10,000

Rent, building $35,000

Total            $206,500

So, the overhead over applied is

= $207,200 - $206,500

= $700

c. Now the schedule of cost of goods manufactured is presented below:

Opening Raw Material  $25,000

Add Purchases of Raw Material $138,000

Less Closing Stock of Raw Material -$15,000  

Direct Material Used               $148,000

Add:

Direct Labor                            $86,000

Manufacturing Overhead Applied $207,200

Total Manufacturing Costs  $441,200

Add Opening WIP                         $49,000  

Less Closing WIP                        -$39,000

Cost of Goods Manufactured $451,200

Minor Company installs a machine in its factory at the beginning of the year at a cost of $135,000. The machine's useful life is estimated to be 5 years, or 300,000 units of product, with a $15,000 salvage value. During its first year, the machine produces 64,500 units of product. Determine the machines' first year depreciation under the double-declining-balance method.

Answers

Answer:

Annual depreciation= $48,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchasing price= $135,000

Salvage value= $15,000

Useful life= 5 years

To calculate the depreciation expense under the double-declining method, we need to use the following formula:

Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]

Annual depreciation= 2*[(135,000 - 15,000) / 5]

Annual depreciation= $48,000

These financial managers and corporate officers were criticized for having large salaries. This is mainly because during the financial crisis the stocks of these companies plummeted while compensation was still exorbitant. Compensation was supposed to be an incentive given to talent for maximizing the overall value of the firm through their work. Since this is not being done by the shareholders and officers then they should not be enjoying these compensations.

Globus Autos sells a single product. 8 comma 3008,300 units were sold resulting in $ 84 comma 000$84,000 of sales​ revenue, $ 24 comma 000$24,000 of variable​ costs, and $ 18 comma 000$18,000 of fixed costs. If Globus reduces the selling price by $ 1.10$1.10 per​ unit, the new margin of safety​ is: (Round any intermedary calculations to the nearest​ cent.)

Answers

Answer:

$59,000

Explanation:

We will first determine the variable cost per unit

= $24,000/300

= $80

Contribution margin percentage =

$280 - ($80 - $1.10)/$280

= 0.72

= 72%

New break even point = $18,000/72%

= 25,000

Old break even point =

($280 - $80)/280

= 0.71

= 71%

= $18,000/71%

= $25,352

Margin of safety = $84,000 - $25,000

= $59,000

Answers

Answer:

40 books revenue is maximized

Explanation:

Profit is maximized where Marginal cost equals Marginal Revenue. The revenue is maximized where 40 books are sold for the price of $16. The marginal revenue at this point equals the marginal cost. Profit will be maximized for the ABC Books if it sells 40 books at the price of $16 per book. Here Marginal cost is $10 and marginal revenue is also $10. This is profit maximizing point.

Your great aunt left you $15,000 when she died. You can invest the money to earn 6.5% per year. If you spend $2,100 per year out of this inheritance, how long will the money last? Try to use an appropriate annuity formula, and make sure to clearly state any assumptions you make.

Answers

Answer:

The money will last for approximately 10 years.

Explanation:

Assuming the withdrawal to spend $2,100 is made at the end of each year, the relevant formula to use is therefore the formula for calculating the present value (PV) of an ordinary annuity as follows:

PV = P * [{1 - [1 / (1 + r)]^n} / r] …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PV = Present value of the inheritance left by your great aunt = $15,000

P = yearly withdrawal = $2,100

r = interest rate = 6.5%, or 0.065

n = number of years the money will last = ?

Substitute the values into equation (1) and solve for n as follows:

15,000 = 2,100 * [{1 - [1 / (1 + 0.065)]^n} / 0.065]

15,000 / 2,100 = {1 - [1 / 1.065]^n} / 0.065

7.14285714285714 = [1 - 0.938967136150235^n] / 0.065

7.14285714285714 * 0.065 = 1 - 0.938967136150235^n

0.464285714285714 = 1 - 0.938967136150235^n

0.938967136150235^n = 1 - 0.464285714285714

0.938967136150235^n = 0.535714285714286

Loglinearize both sides, we have:

n * log 0.938967136150235 = log 0.535714285714286

n = log 0.535714285714286 / log 0.938967136150235

n = -0.271066772286538 / -0.0273496077747564

n = 9.9112 years, or approximately 10 years

Therefore, the money will last for approximately 10 years.

You have a portfolio worth $63,500 that has an expected return of 13.3 percent. The portfolio has $16,900 invested in Stock O, $24,700 invested in Stock P, with the remainder in Stock Q. The expected return on Stock O is 18.1 percent and the expected return on Stock P is 11.3 percent. What is the expected return on Stock Q

Answers

Answer:

Return on Stock Q is 11.85%

Explanation:

Investment in Q = ($63,500 - $16,900 - $24700)

Investment in Q =21900

Portfolio return = Respective return * Respective investment weight

13.3= (16900 / 63500 * 18.1%) + ( $24,700 / $63,500 * 11.3% ) + ( $21900 / $63,500 * Return on Q)

13.3 =  4.817165354 + 4.39533071% + (21900 / 63500*Return on Q)

13.3 = 9.21259843% + (21900 / 63500*Return on Q)

Return on Q = (13.3% -9.21259843%) *63500/21900

Return on Q = (4.08740157 * 2.899543379)

Return on Q = 11.85159816%

Return on Q =11.85%

April 23 purchase= 290 units at $29

To calculate the ending inventory, first, we need to determine the number of units in ending inventory:

Ending inventory in units= 330 + 380 + 290 - 450= 550 units

Ending inventory FIFO= 290*29 + 260*26= $15,170

COGS= 330*22 + 120*26= $10,380

Beth works for a large corporation that has managers for every department who employees report to. Which type of management decision making system does this company use

Answers

Answer:

vertical decision-making system

Explanation:

Based on this scenario it seems that Beth's company is using a vertical decision-making system. This is a hierarchical organization system in which management passes information from the top of the hierarchy/pyramid down to the bottom. This system is made up of many layers, while each layer has upper management that supervises the employees at that level. Such as in this case where the employees are reporting to the managers within their departments.

A and B are substitute goods and are priced the same. A complementary good of A increases in price while the price of the same complentary good for B remains the same. According to the law of demand, with everything else being equal, what will happen to the demand of A

Answers

Answer:

The demand for A will decrease

Explanation:

If A and B are substitute goods it means either A and B can be used in the place of the other as they satisfy same needs. Two goods are said to be complementary goods if the use of 1 of the goods requires the use of the other. For example if good A was a car, it's complementary good will be petrol.

Since A and B can be substituted for each other, if the price of a Complementary good for A increases, the demand for A will decrease because the law of demand says that higher prices causes decrease in demand. People will rather buy good B whose complement remains the same in price since it is cheaper.

By the 1800s, it was clear that the Age of Sugarthat combination of enslavement, factories, and global tradewas replacing the Age of Honey, when people ate local foods, lived on the land of their ancestors, and valued tradition over change. Sugar was the product of the slave and the addiction of the poor factory workerthe meeting place of the barbarism of overseers such as Thomas Thistlewood and the rigid new economy. And yet, for that very reason, sugar also became the lynchpin of the struggle for freedom. When we talk about Atlantic slavery, we must describe sugar Hell; and yet that is only part of the story. Africans were at the heart of this great change in the economy, indeed in the lives of people throughout the world. Africans were the true global citizensadjusting to a new land, a new religion, even to other Africans they would never have met in their homelands. Their labor made the Age of Sugarthe Industrial Agepossible. We should not see the enslaved people simply as victims, but rather as actorsas the heralds of the interconnected world in which we all live today. And indeed, it was when the enslaved Africans began to speakin words and in actionswhen Europeans began to see them as human, that the Age of Sugar also became the Age of Freedom.
