A country produces melons and wheat. 1.) Using the 3-point curved line drawing tool, draw a representative PPC for this country. Label it 'PPC'. 2.) Using the point drawing tool, show a production point that is efficient. Label it 'A'. 3.) Using the point drawing tool, show a production point that is attainable but not efficient. Label it 'BE'. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects.
Answers
Answer:
1.) Using the 3-point curved line drawing tool, draw a representative PPC for this country. Label it 'PPC'.
I have attached a picture below. It shows a simple possibilities frontier for a country that can produce up to 16 units of melons and wheat.
2.) Using the point drawing tool, show a production point that is efficient. Label it 'A'
Producition points that are efficient are any points on the curve. Producing 16 melons and 0 wheat is efficient because all economic resources are being used to produce the maximum amount of a good that is possible. Producing 8 melons, and 8 units of wheat is also efficient for the same reason.
3.) Using the point drawing tool, show a production point that is attainable but not efficient.
Any point inside the curve would be inefficient because resouces would be used to produce less than the maximum amount possible. For example, if 15 units of wheat are produced, but less than one unit of melon is produced, then, there is inefficiency, because 1 unit of melon should be produced in that case.

A company purchased 10 units for $5 on January 3. It purchased 10 units for $7 each on February 28. It sold 10 units on March 1. If the company uses the last in, first out (LIFO) inventory costing method, what is the dollar amount for ending inventory on the December 31 balance sheet, assuming that the company uses a perpetual inventory system
Answers
Answer:
The dollar amount for ending inventory using the last-in-first-out method of inventory valuation is $50
Explanation:
Using LIFO,last-in-first-out method of inventory valuation,items received last into the store are deemed to be sold first, hence the sales of 10 units on March 1 was the inventory purchased on February 28, leaving the items of inventory purchased on January 3 as closing inventory
value of closing inventory using LIFO=10*$5=$50
6. Limitations of GDP Although GDP is a reasonably good measure of a nation's output, it does not necessarily include all transactions and production for that nation. Which of the following scenarios are either not accounted for or measured inaccurately by either the income or the expenditure methods of calculating GDP for the United States? Check all that apply. Funds spent by city governments to renovate their buildings The value of babysitting services, when the babysitter is paid in cash and the transaction isn't reported to the government The costs of air and water pollution The variety of goods available to consumers When a U.S. company purchases and imports automotive parts from Canada to use to build cars within the United States, this purchase increases the component of GDP while also net exports by the same amount. Therefore, the purchase of automotive parts from Canada causes in US GDP.
Answers
Answer:
The value of babysitting services, when the babysitter is paid in cash and the transaction isn't reported to the government
The costs of air and water pollution
The variety of goods available to consumers
It increases investment spending by businesses
Decreasing net export
No change
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the sum of the goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year.
Gross domestic product calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending + Investment spending + net export + government spending
Items not included in the calculation of GDP:
1. Intermediate goods
2. Externalities e.g. pollution
3. Measures of welfare available to individuals
4. Transactions not reported to the government.
Funds spent by city governments to renovate their buildings are included in GDP as part of investment spending.
Purchase of automative parts would be included in GDP as part of investment spending. So investment spending would rise. Also, it would be recorded as an import and import is a negative function of GDP and thus net export would decrease . As a result, the increase in investment spending would be offset by the decrease in net export and there would be no change in GDP

Investments - Dixon (w.4.) 102,053
(To record sales of investment in Dixon Company.)
Workings:
w.1. Total value of investment in Dixon Company = (3,600 * $51) + $95 = $183,695
w.2. Dividend revenue = 3,600 * $0.95 = $3,420
w.3. = Cash = (2,000 * 41) - $75 = $81,925
w.4. Value of investment in Dixon = ($183,695 / $3,600) * 2,000 = $102,053
w.5. Loss on sale of investment = w.3. - w.4. = $102,053 - $81,925 = $20,128

A worker can choose high (H) or low (L) effort. If the worker chooses high effort, she incurs a personal cost of 1. In this case, output is high with probability one. If the worker chooses low effort, she incurs a personal cost of 0. In this case, output is low with probability one. When output is high, the firm receives revenue of O and zero otherwise. Can the same outcome be achieved when effort is unobservable?
A. Yes, because the firm would find it wothwhile to pay the bonus for high effort.
B. No, because for any bonus offered, the worker will claim to have exerted high effort.
C. No, because the firm has to pay the bonus based on output.
D. Yes, because effort can be perfectly inferred from output, which is observable.
Answers
Answer:
B. No, because for any bonus offered, the worker will claim to have exerted high effort.
Explanation:
This question required some basic reasoning about how human beings function. We all like to receive things from others, and if they are free (or without cost or effort) the more we like them. And we all believe that good things should happen to us and that we are entitled to receive good things. That is the basic reason why jealousy and envy exist.
Now, back to our case. If the company simply hands out bonuses to everyone regardless of their personal effort, every single worker will be convinced that they really deserve the bonus. Even if the worker didn't even try to do his best or didn't do anything right at all, he/she will be convinced that they deserve the bonus. Each and every single worker will claim that the reason they are receiving the bonus is due to their work. Everyone will say that they worked hard and their work was good.
Imagine this happened at school. One day, the teacher decides to give As to half the class in alphabetical order (or any other random way). The half that got the As will believe that they deserved the As while the other half will be very unhappy. If everyone got As, then everyone will be convinced that thy got As because they deserved them.

The 6.3 percent, semi-annual coupon bonds of PE Engineers mature in 13 years and have a price quote of 99.2. These bonds have a current yield of ________ percent, a yield to maturity of ________ percent, and an effective annual yield of ________ percent.
Answers
Answer:
Current yield is 6.35%
YTM is 6.40%
Effective annual yield is 6.50%
Explanation:
Current yield =coupon amount/price=6.3%*$1000/$1000*99.2%=6.35%
Yield to maturity can be computed using excel rate formula as below:
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
nper is the number of coupon payments of the bond which is 13*2
pmt is the annual coupon=6.3%*$1000=$63/2=$31.5
pv is the current price=99.2%*$1000=$992
fv is the face value of $1000
=rate(13*2,31.5,-992,1000)=3.20%
Semiannual yield =3.20%
annual yield=3.20%*2=6.40%
effective annual yield=(1+YTM/2)^2-1
effective annual yield=(1+6.40%/2)^2-1=6.50%

Explanation:
We can say the Optimal combination of inputs can be expressed as the ratio of marginal productivity of labor to the marginal productivity of capital is equal to the ratio of price of labor(wage) to the price of capital(RENT).
Lets denote:
marginal productivity of labor = MPL
marginal productivity of capital = MPC
Wage= W
Rent= R
Then the formula will be
[tex]\frac{MPL}{MPC}=\frac{W}{R}[/tex]

Lipman Auto Parts, a family-owned auto parts store, began January with $10,300.00 in cash. Management forecasts that collections from credit customers will be $11,400.00 in January and $14,800.00 in February. The store is scheduled to receive $5,000.00 in cash on a business note receivable in January. Projected cash payments include inventory purchases ($13,000.00 in January and $13,600.00 in February) and operating expenses ($2,700.00 each month). Lipman Auto Parts’ bank requires a $10,000.00 minimum balance in the store’s checking account. At the end of any month when the account balance dips below $10,000.00, the bank automatically extends credit to the store in multiples of $1,000.00. Lipman Auto Parts borrows as little as possible and pays back loans in quarterly installments of $2,000.00, plus 4 percent interest on the entire unpaid principal.

Sparky Corporation uses the FIFO method of process costing. The following information is available for February in its Molding Department: Units: Beginning Inventory: 34,000 units, 100% complete as to materials and 55% complete as to conversion. Units started and completed: 119,000. Units completed and transferred out: 153,000. Ending Inventory: 34,500 units, 100% complete as to materials and 35% complete as to conversion. Costs: Costs in beginning Work in Process - Direct Materials: $52,000. Costs in beginning Work in Process - Conversion: $57,850. Costs incurred in February - Direct Materials: $349,625. Costs incurred in February - Conversion: $608,150. Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of materials.
Answers
Answer:
The cost per equivalent unit of materials is $2.28
Explanation:
The Concept of Equivalent units measures the number of units complete to the extent of the input elements added during production.
The FIFO method in Process costing Accounts for Costs only incurred during the Manufacturing Period. Also, The Opening Work In Process is Assumed to be completed first.
The First Step is to Calculate the Total Equivalent Units of Production for Raw Materials :
To finish Opening Work In Process (34,000 × 0%) = 0
Started and Completed ((153,000 - 34,000) × 100% ) = 119,000
Closing Work In Process (34,500 × 100%) = 34,500
Total Equivalent Units of Production = 153,500
The Next and Final Step is to calculate the cost per equivalent unit of materials.
Cost per equivalent unit = Total Cost During the Current Period / Total Equivalent Units of Production
= $349,625 / 153,500
= $2.2776872
= $2.28 (2 decimal places)
Conclusion :
The cost per equivalent unit of materials is $2.28
If your risk-aversion coefficient is A = 4.4 and you believe that the entire 1926–2015 period is representative of future expected performance, what fraction of your portfolio should be allocated to T-bills and what fraction to equity? Assume your utility function is U = E(r) – 0.5 × Aσ2
Answers
Answer:
=> fraction of the portfolio that should be allocated to T-bills = 0.4482 = 44.82%.
=> fraction to equity = 0.5518 = 55.18%.
Explanation:
So, in this question or problem we are given the following parameters or data or information which are; that the utility function is U = E(r) – 0.5 × Aσ2 and the risk-aversion coefficient is A = 4.4.
The fraction of the portfolio that should be allocated to T-bills and its equivalent fraction to equity can be calculated by using the formula below;
The first step is to determine or Calculate the value of fraction to equity.
Hence, the fraction to equity = risk premium/(market standard deviation)^2 - risk aversion.
= 8.10% ÷ [(20.48%)^2 × 3.5 = 0.5518.
Therefore, the value for fraction of the portfolio that should be allocated to T-bills = 1 - fraction to equity = 1 - 0.5518 =0.4482 .

The board is not legally required to meet any duty of care requirements. 4. The board is not meeting its duty of care to shareholders.
Answers
Answer:
1. The board is meeting legal requirements but not its duty of care to shareholders.
Explanation:
During a Board of Directors meeting with CFO all conversations will be about strengthening the company and the organization's shareholders. Shareholders are also considered the entity's owners, so it is very important to comply with all the legal provisions in addition to increasing shareholders.
In this given situation, the board meets with CFO and asks in compliance with accounting standards, but asks little more about how the project aims to achieve the company's mission and strategy. Mission and plan describe the company's vision alongside the company's owners(shareholders) vision and benefits.
hence, the correct option is 1.
