Answers

Answer 1

Answer: A. . The free movies as a distraction from the poor economy will likely raise interest rates as the government borrows more money to finance the purchase.

B. This policy will likely be accompanied by an impact lag as the policy takes time to make its way to the people.

E. Crowding-out will occur as individuals choose to rely on free movies instead of purchasing their own

Explanation:

We are informed that during a recession, the government borrows money to provide free movies as a distraction from the poor economy.

The effect of this is that there will be a likely increase in the interest rates because the government borrows more money to finance the purchase of tickets.

Also, due to the free movies, there'll be an impact lag as the policy will take time before it make its way to the people and there will also be crowding-out because the individuals will rely on free movies instead of purchasing their own.

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 January 1, 1999, Luciano deposits 90 into an investment account. On April 1, 1999, when the amount in Luciano’s account is equal to X, a withdrawal of W is made. No further deposits or withdrawals are made to Luciano’s account for the remainder of the year. On December 31, 1999, the amount in Luciano’s account is 85. The dollar-weighted return over the 1-year period is 20%. The time-weighted return over the 1-year period is 16%. Calculate X.

Answers

Answer:

X = 107.63

Explanation:

From the given information:

The amount of interest earned on this account will be:

= 85 + W - 90

= W - 5

However; the dollar weight return rate is:

[tex]\dfrac{(W-5)}{(90 - \dfrac{3}{4*W})} = 0.2[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{(W-5)}{(90 - 0.75W})} = 0.2[/tex]

W - 5 = 0.2(90 - 0.75W)

W - 5 = 18 - 0.15 W

W + 0.15 W = 18 + 5

1.15 W = 23

W = 23/1.15

W = 20

The time weighted return rate can be computed as:

[tex]0.16 = \dfrac{X}{90} \times \dfrac{85}{X-20} -1[/tex]

[tex]1+0.16 = \dfrac{X}{90} \times \dfrac{85}{X-20}[/tex]

[tex]1.16 = \dfrac{X}{90} \times \dfrac{85}{X-20}[/tex]

1.16×((90)(X-20)) = 85X

1.16 × (90X - 1800) = 85X

104.4X - 2088 = 85 X

104.4X - 85 X = 2088

19.4X = 2088

X = 2088/19.4

X = 107.628866

X = 107.63

4. Calculate the required rate of return for Manning Enterprises assuming that investors expect 3.5% rate of inflation in the future. The real risk-free rate is 2.5%, and the market risk premium is 6.5% Manning has a beta of 1.7, and its realized rate of return has averaged 13.5% over the past 5 years.

Answers

Answer: 17.05%

Explanation:

Given the variables available, the method to be used to calculate the required return is the Capital Asset Pricing Model with the formula;

Required Return = Nominal Risk-free rate + beta ( Market premium)

Nominal Risk-free rate =  real risk-free rate + inflation

= 2.5% + 3.5%

= 6%

Required Return = 6% + 1.7 ( 6.5%)

Required Return = 6% + 11.05%

Required Return = 17.05%

Gift property (disregarding any adjustment for gift tax paid by the donor): a.Has the same basis to the donee as the donor's adjusted basis if the donee disposes of the property at a gain. b.Has the same basis to the donee as the donor's adjusted basis if the donee disposes of the property at a loss, and the fair market value on the date of gift was less than the donor's adjusted basis. c.Has a zero basis to the donee if the fair market value on the date of gift is less than the donor's adjusted basis. d.Has no basis to the donee because he or she did not pay anything for the property.

Answers

Answer: Has the same basis to the donee as the donor's adjusted basis if the donee disposes of the property at a gain.

Explanation:

For a gifted property, it should be noted that the tax basis for a donee that is, the person who gets the gift will be identical to that of the donor, this is, the person that donates the gift in cases whereby the property is gotten as a gift.

Therefore, a gift property disregarding any adjustment for gift tax paid by the donor will have the same basis to the donee as the donor's adjusted basis if the donee disposes of the property at a gain.

Teller Co. is planning to sell 900 boxes of ceramic tile, with production estimated at 870 boxes during May. Each box of tile requires 44 pounds of clay mix and a quarter hour of direct labor. Clay mix costs $0.40 per pound and employees of the company are paid $12.00 per hour. Manufacturing overhead is applied at a rate of 110% of direct labor costs. Teller has 3,900 pounds of clay mix in beginning inventory and wants to have 4,500 pounds in ending inventory.

Required:
What is the total amount to be budgeted for manufacturing overhead for the month?

Answers

Answer:

Budgeted overhead= $2,877.6

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct labor required:

Production= 870 units

Direct labor hours= 870*0.25= 218 hours

Direct labor cost= $12 an hour

Manufacturing overhead is applied at a rate of 110% of direct labor costs.

To calculate the allocated overhead for the period, we need to use the following formula:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Direct labor cost= 218*12= $2,616

Allocated MOH= 1.1*2,616= $2,877.6

At first, it might seem that valuable commodities, such as cattle or lead bars, might be good forms of money. What makes paper money preferable to these alternatives

Answers

a) It is less likely to be stolen.

b) It has more intrinsic value than cattle or lead bars.

c) It is divisible (unlike cattle) and easily portable (unlike lead bars).

And the correct answer is the option C: It is divisible (unlike cattle) and easily portable (unlike lead bars).

To begin with, the current paper money that is used nowadays has a lot of benefits in comparison with those other material valuable commodities due to the fact of all the characteristics that the paper money has. In addition, this currency is much more divisible than those other due to the fact that a one hundred dollar paper could turn into two fifty dollars papers. Besides, the paper money is much more portable than those others and the person could even carry more value in paper money than the same value but with those other commodities. And finally, the paper money is much more liquid than those other goods, so that indicates that is extremely easy to exchange for other thing, while the other options are not.

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

Explanation:

Proportion= 0.16

Beta= 0.61

Stock B:

Proportion= 0.36

Beta= 1.16

Stock C:

Suppose you inherited $275,000 and invested it at 8.25% per year. How much could you withdraw at the end of each of the next 20 years

Answers

Answer:

$28,533.5

Explanation:

Principal value (PV) = $275,000

Time = 20 years

Rate = 8.25%

Present Value = P ((1-(1+R)^-n) / r)

275,000 = P ((1- (1 + 0.0825)^-20) /.0825)

275,000 x .0825 = P (1-(1/1.0825)^20)

22687.5 = P ((1.0825^20 - 1) / (1.0825 ^20))

22687.50 = P (4.8816 - 1 / 4.8816)

22687.5 = P (3.886 / 4.8816)

22687.5 = p(0.7951)

P = 22687.5 / 0.7951

P = $28533.5

Answers

Answer:

Supply, shift in , rise fall

the demand, shift in, fall ,fall

supply , shift out fall, rise

the demand , shift out rise rise

the demand shift in fall fall

Explanation:

If the wages of factory worker increases, it becomes more expensive to hire workers, the cost of production increases and the demand for labour would fall. as a result, production would fall and the supply of tablets would fall. a decrease in supply leads to an inward shift of the supply curve. as a result of the fall in supply, quantity would fall and there would be a rise in price.

Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of another good. If the price of notebooks falls, it becomes cheaper to purchase notebooks, so the quantity demanded of notebooks would rise and the demand for tablets would fall since it is cheaper to buy a tablet. the demand curve for tablets would shift in as a result of the fall in demand. As a result, price and quantity of tablets would fall.

Increase in the number of manufactures would lead to an increase in supply. this would cause a rise in the supply of tablets. when there is a rise in supply, the supply curve shifts out, prices fall and quantity increases.

the new game would increase demand for tablets because people would be interested in playing the game. as a result of the rise in demand, the demand curve would shift out, the quantity would rise and prices would rise

A complement is a good that is consumed together with another good. if the price of apps rise, it would become more expensive to buy apps as result the demand for tablets would fall. the demand curve would shift in and price and quantity would fall

When Supply, shift in, rise fallThen the demand, shift in, fall, fallAfter that supply, shift outfall, riseThen the demand, shift out the rising riseThen the demand shift in fall fallDemand and supply

When the wages of factory worker increases, it becomes more expensive to hire workers, also the cost of production increases, and also the demand for labor would fall. as a result, when the production would fall also the supply of tablets would fall. when a decrease in supply leads to an inward shift of the supply curve. Although as a result of the fall in supply, the quantity would fall, and also there would be a price rise.

When Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of another good. also If the price of notebooks falls, it becomes cheaper to purchase notebooks, so the quantity demanded of notebooks would rise, and also the demand for tablets would fall since it is cheaper to buy a tablet. the demand curve for tablets would shift in as a result of the fall in demand. So As a result, the price and also the number of tablets would fall.

When Increase in the number of manufacturers would lead to an increase in supply. this would cause a rise in the supply of tablets. when there are a rise in supply, the supply curve shifts out, prices fall, and also quantity increases.

When the new game would increase demand for tablets because people would be interested in playing the game. So as a result of the rise in demand, the demand curve would shift out, the quantity would rise and also prices would rise

Thus A complement is a good that is consumed together with another good. if the price of apps rises, it would become more expensive to buy apps as a result the demand for tablets would fall. Then the demand curve would shift in and price and also quantity would fall

Specialized automation:

Fixed Costs = $9,000 / month

Variable Cost / Unit = $2

General automation:

Fixed Costs = $3,000 / month

Variable Cost / Unit = $5

First, we need to structure the costs formula:

Specialized automation:

Total cost= 9,000 + 2x

x= production

General automation:

Total cost= 3,000 + 5x

x= production

To calculate the indifference point, we need to equal both formulas:

9,000 + 2x = 3,000 + 5x

6,000=3x

2,000= x

The indifference point is 2,000 units.

Finally, we need to calculate which process is more convenient for 3,000 units:

Specialized automation:

Total cost= 9,000 + 2*3,000= $15,000

General automation:

Total cost= 3,000 + 5*3,000= $18,000

The Borio Company had an asset with an $8 book value and a $7 market value; it decided to distribute the asset as a property dividend. Journal entries were made to adjust the property to market value and declare the dividend. Indicate the combined effect on the Net Income and Total Assets, respectively:

Answers

Answer:

The net income will decrease and also the total assets will also decrease

Explanation:

Here, we want to know the combined effect on net income and total assets of company that made a decision of distributing assets as a property dividend.

As the asset value is down the entry is asset (credit) and loss on asset (debit)

This will effect the net income as it will come down and total assets value also come down

The liability of a manufacturer or seller for handing over a defective commodity into the hands of the consumers is known as the product liability. The responsibility for handing over the defective product that causes injuries lies with the retailers of the product who are a part of the distribution chain. The law requires that the good sold to the consumer meets the ordinary expectations of the consumer. If the consumer's ordinary expectations aren't met due to an unexpected defect or danger, the consumer may ask for monetary damages.

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of the activity rate is shown below:

                       (a)                         (b)                      (a ÷ b)

Activity            Estimated            Expected         Activity rate

Cost Pool        Overhead Cost   Activity

Labor-related   $52,000            8,000                 $6.50

                                                   direct labor-hours

Machine-related $15,000           20,000              $0.75

                                                    machine-hours

Machine setups 42,000              1,000 setups      $42

Production orders 18,000           500 orders         $36

Product testing  $48,000            2,000 tests        $24

Packaging           $75,000          5,000 packages  $15

General factory   108,800           8,000                 $13.60

                                                     direct labor-hours

Total                   $358,800

b. The company predetermined overhead rate is shown below:

= Total estimated overhead cost ÷ direct labor hours

= $358,800 ÷ 8,000 direct labor hours

= $44.85

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

F Mining has $6 million in sales, its ROE is 20%, and its total assets turnover is 3.2x. The company has 40% equity financed (i.e., equity multiplier is 2.5). What is its net income? (DuPont analysis)

Answers

Answer:

$0.15 million

Explanation:

The formula for ROE can be used as a stepping stone to determining the value of net income:

ROE=Profit margin*Total asset turnover*Equity multiplier

ROE is 20%

total asset turnover is 3.2

equity multiplier is 2.5

20%=profit margin*3.2*2.5

20%=profit margin*8

profit margin=20%/8=2.5%

The formula for profit margin can now be used to determine net income.

profit margin=net income/sales

2.5%=net income/$6 million

net income=$6 million*2.5%

net income=$0.15 million
