Answer:
Following are the responses to the given question:
Explanation:
Please find the complete question.
Yes, value exists. Their price is lower and therefore more competition and benefit are higher. Its value is reduced. Further competition among producers leads to higher production and lower prices. Further good product feedback will increase profitability after their use by consumers. Based on buyers' requirements, drugs can also be added. The drawback is that the output and performance depend more on the producer. Initially, the gain can be very low due to lower prices. Because they are typically replicas of premium products, a distinctive identity becomes difficult to have. Besides, customers get less trust and this problem is worse from the outset.

Concord uses the periodic inventory system. For the current month, the beginning inventory consisted of 7400 units that cost $10.00 each. During the month, the company made two purchases: 3000 units at $11.00 each and 11900 units at $11.50 each. Concord also sold 12800 units during the month. Using the FIFO method, what is the ending inventory
Answers
Answer:
$109,250
Explanation:
FIFO assumes that the units to arrive first, will be sold first. Therefore, inventory valuation is based on later or recent prices.
Step 1 : units in ending inventory
Ending Inventory = units available for sale - units sold
= 9,500
Step 2 : inventory value
Ending Inventory = 9,500 x $11.50 = $109,250
In the free enterprise system, or market economy, individuals are responsible for
being informed and making careful decisions.
True of False
Answers
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Free Enterprise system or market economy is where the individuals have the chance to make decisions on their own. This means that there are no government restrictions.
In this type of economy, the desires of the consumers and the profit-making goals of the producers help in determining what will be produced. In the same manner, the decision on how to produce will be determined by the Labour and the management.
To sum it up, this system allows the individual to decide on the purchasing of goods, the selling of the product, the hiring of Labour, and the type of structure they want to work on, giving them full freedom and responsibility to make decisions.
Clothing Company wants to produce a new line of light weight winter coats. They currently have 2 models of winter coats: a medium weight winter coat and a heavy weight winter coat. They currently sell 55,500 medium weight winter coats each year at a price of $250 per coat. They currently sell 80,200 heavy weight winter coats each year at a price of $320 per coat.

Consider a monopoly where consumers are currently consuming where the marginal utility is 10 units of utility for the good. The price of the product is $5. The marginal cost of producing the good is $2.00. Then consider perfectly competitive firms where consumers are currently consuming where the marginal utility is 20 units of utility for the perfectly competitive product. The price of the product is $10. At current production levels, the marginal cost of producing the good is $10.
Required:
a. Calculate the marginal utility per dollar spent by consumers in a monopolistic industry.
b. Calculate the consumer marginal utility per dollar of marginal cost for the monopoly.
Answers
Answer and Explanation:
a. The marginal utility per dollar spent in a monopolistic industry is
= Marginal utility ÷ Price
= 10 ÷ 5
= 2 utils per dollar
b. The consumer marginal utility per dollar for the monopoly is
= Marginal utility ÷ Marginal cost
= 10 ÷ 2
= 5 utils per dollar
hence by using the above formulas, the above answers should be considered
Staples Corporation would have had identical income before taxes on both its income tax returns and its income statements for the years 2020 through 2023 except for a depreciable asset that cost $120,000. The asset was 100% expensed for tax purposes in 2020. However, for accounting purposes the straight-line method was used (that is, $30,000 per year). The accounting and tax periods both end December 31. There were no deferred taxes at the beginning of 2020. The depreciable asset has a four-year estimated life and no residual value. The tax rate for each year was 25%. Pretax GAAP income amounts for each of the four years were as follows:
Year Pretax GAAP Income
2020 $230,000
2021 250,000

2020 Tax Taxable Income = $110,000 ($230,000-$120,000)
GAAP Taxable Income = GAAP minus Annual Depreciation
b) Tax Taxable Income = GAAP income of $230,000 minus 100% depreciation ($120,000) for the first year and 0% for the remaining years. This gives rise to temporary differences in 2020 between the calculated tax payable and the tax expense for the following years. While in the first year, there arose a tax liability, this is offset in subsequent years.

Problems and Applications Q2 Indicate whether each of the following transactions represents an increase in net exports, a decrease in net exports, an increase in net capital outflow, or a decrease in net capital outflow for the United States. Transaction Net Exports Net Capital Outflow Increase Decrease Increase Decrease The Sony pension fund buys a bond from the U.S. Treasury. A worker at a Sony plant in Japan buys some Georgia peaches from an American farmer. An American buys a Toyota. An American investor buys a controlling share in a South Korean electronics firm.
Answers
Answer:
The Sony pension fund buys a bond from the U.S. Treasury. ⇒ Decrease in Net Capital Outflow
Net Capital outflow is calculated by subtracting investments made by foreign entities in the United States from investments made by American entities in other countries. The Sony pension fund in this scenario, invested in the U.S. which would therefore reduce the Net capital outflow.
A worker at a Sony plant in Japan buys some Georgia peaches from an American farmer. ⇒ Increase in Net Exports
Net exports is calculated by subtracting the goods brought into the United States from other countries (imports) from those goods sold by the U.S. to other countries (exports). This scenario shows an increase in exports so Net exports will increase.
An American buys a Toyota. ⇒ Decrease in Net exports
An American buying a Toyota means they imported it so Net exports will go down.
An American investor buys a controlling share in a South Korean electronics firm. ⇒ Increase in Net Capital Outflow
Here cash is leaving the United States for an investment in another country so as per the definition above, Net Capital outflow is increasing.

Barton Industries expects next year's annual dividend, D1, to be $2.00 and it expects dividends to grow at a constant rate g = 4.2%. The firm's current common stock price, P0, is $20.00. If it needs to issue new common stock, the firm will encounter a 4.5% flotation cost, F. What is the flotation cost adjustment that must be added to its cost of retained earnings? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answers
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
The flotation cost adjustment that must be added to its cost of retained earnings will be calculated thus:
= Expected dividend / [Current price × (1 - Floatation cost)] + Expected growth rate
= 2.00/[20.00 × (1 - 4.5%)] + 4.2%
= 2.00 /[20.00 × (1 - 0.045)] + 0.042
= 2.00 / (20.00 × 0.955) + 0.042
= (2.00/19.10) + 0.042
= 0.104712 + 0.042
= 0.146712
New cost of equity = 14.67%
You didn't give the cost of equity calculated without the flotation adjustment. Let's assume that this is maybe 11%, the floatation on adjustment factor = 14.67% - 11% = 3.67%

Answers
Answer:
c. It depends on the appraisal problem. The appraiser should apply all appropriate units of comparison, explain differences in wide variation in the results, and choose the most reliable unit.
Explanation:
The three (3) main methods used for the valuation or appraisal of real-estate properties are;
I. Income approach.
II. Cost approach.
III. Sales comparison approach.
A sales comparison approach can be defined as a real-estate appraisal technique that is typically based on comparing a property to other recently sold real-estate properties with similar characteristics. Thus, this appraisal method or technique requires that the real-estate property being appraised should be in current use and fall within the same area or locality as the other recently sold real-estate properties.
In the sales comparison approach, the appraised property should mimic the market behavior of other real-estate properties sold recently.

Answers
Answer:
inflation rate - The difference between the real interest rate and the nominal. The term that indicates why most people need to be incentivized to save
Inflation rate is the general increase in the price of goods and services within an economy over time. The real interest rate is the nominal interest rate minus inflation rate. Inflation incentivizes people to save, because if they save, they can invest their money at an interest rate higher than inflation, otherwise, their money will end up losing value.
savings rate - The percentage of disposable income that is kept as personal savings
Savings rate is simply the percentage of income that is left for saving. If a person earns 1,000 and saves 200, the savings rate is 20%.
interest rate - The reward a saver expects on loaned funds
The interest rate is the price of borrowing. The loaner accepts to give temporary control of his or her money to another person, in exchange for an extra payment, the interest rate.
dissaving - The result of consumption exceeding income over a particular period
Dissaving occurs when people spend more than they earn. Dissaving can be very harmful not only for household economies, but also for the economy as a whole, because it does not allow investment to flourish, and could lead to actual destruction of wealth via overconsumption.

Quantitative Problem: Barton Industries expects that its target capital structure for raising funds in the future for its capital budget will consist of 40% debt, 5% preferred stock, and 55% common equity. Note that the firm's marginal tax rate is 25%. Assume that the firm's cost of debt, rd, is 9.0%, the firm's cost of preferred stock, rp, is 8.2% and the firm's cost of equity is 11.6% for old equity, rs, and 11.9% for new equity, re. What is the firm's weighted average cost of capital (WACC1) if it uses retained earnings as its source of common equity
Answers
Answer: 9.49%
Explanation:
Formula for WACC:
WACC = (Cost of Equity * Weight of equity) + [(Cost of debt * weight of debt) * (1 - tax rate)] + (Cost of Preference share * weight of preference share).
As we are using retained earnings, this is not a new stock issue so the relevant cost of equity to use is the old one.
WACC = (11.6% * 55%) + [(9% * 40%) * (1 - 25%)] + (8.2% * 5%)
= 9.49%
The economy is in long-run equilibrium. Technological change shifts the long-run aggregate supply curve $120 billion to the right. At the same time, government purchases increase by $30 billion. If the MPC equals 0.8 and the crowding-out effects are $30 billion, we would expect that in the long run. (C)
a. real GDP would be higher but the price level would be lower
b. both real GDP and the price level would be lower
c. real GDP would be higher but the price level would be the same
d. both real GDP and the price level would be higher
Answers
Answer:
C. Real GDP would be higher but the price level would be the same
Explanation:
Real gdp would get to be higher as long run aggregate supply goes up. Prices would go down because as long run aggregate supply goes up, aggregate demand does not experience the same proportional increase. As long run aggregate supply goes up, short run aggregate supply falls backwards.

There is an investment with the discount rate of 6 %. What should be the present value of the investment if we want to get a net cash flow of $17500;
a) After 1 year
b) After 2 years
Answers
Answer:
a. $16,509.434
b. $15,574.94
Explanation:
The computation of the present value in each case is as followS:
As we know that
Present Value = Future Value ÷ (1+ rate of interest)^number of years
a. AFter one year
= $17,500 ÷ (1 + 0.06)^1
= $16,509.434
b. After 2 years
= $17,500 ÷ (1 + 0.06)^2
= $17,500 ÷ 1.1236
= $15,574.94
Hence, the present value after one year and 2 years is $16,509.434 and $15,574.94 respectively
