Answer:
A)not negate the logical basis for trade in the Ricardian model.
Explanation:
Trade can be regarded as basic economic concept which involves the buying as well as selling of goods and services, having a compensation that is been paid by a buyer to a seller.
The Ricardian model can be regarded as model that incorporates the standard assumptions of a perfect competition. This model in it's simplest form give assumption of two countries that are producing two goods, but uses one factor of production, the goods here are usually assumed to be identical, or to be homogeneous, within as well as across countries. It should be noted that when there is higher wage, there will be greater number of workers that are willing to work and vice versa, which defined the relationship between wages and productivity. productivity gives the
measurement of how efficiently labor
is been utilized when producing goods and services.
It should be noted that If labor productivities were exactly proportional to wage levels internationally, this would not negate the logical basis for trade in the Ricardian model.
On December 31, 2018, a company had assets of $34 billion and stockholders' equity of $28 billion. That same company had assets of $50 billion and stockholders' equity of $12 billion as of December 31, 2019. During 2019, the company reported total sales revenue of $27 billion and total expenses of $25 billion. What is the company's debt-to-assets ratio on December 31, 2019
Answer:
131.6%
Explanation:
Total assets is $50 billion
Liabilities = 50-stock holder equity which is $12 billion
= 50-12
= $38 billion
Therefore the debt to assets ratio can be calculated as follows
= 50 billion/38 billion
= 1.3157×100
°= 131.6
Hence the debts to assetsrayion is 131.6%

The Preference share are currently valued at £76, with a par value of £100 and an 8% dividend. The Hellman Industries is in the 40% marginal Tax bracket. a. Find the Pretax cost of Debt,
Question Completion:
a. Find the Pretax cost of Debt, cost of preference, and ordinary shares.
b. Calculate Hellman Pre- tax and after Tax WACC.
Answer:
Hellman Industries
a) Pretax cost of debt = Yield on bonds = 8.3%
b) Cost of Common equity
= 11.77%
c) Cost of preferred stock
= 10.53%
d) Pre-tax WACC
= 10.3%
e) After-tax WACC
= 8.93%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Weight of Common stock = 50%
Weight of Preferred stock = 10%
Weight of Debts (Bonds) = 40% (100% - 50% - 10%)
Market return on common stock = 11.4%
Risk-free return (treasury bills yield) = 4%
Beta = 1.05
Average yield to maturity of Hellman semiannual coupon bonds = 8.3%
Market price of Preferred stock = £76 per share
Par value of Preferred stock = £100
Dividend rate of Preferred stock = 8%
Dividend per share = £8 (£100 * 8%)
Cost of Preferred stock = £8/£76 * 100 = 10.53%
Marginal tax rate = 40%
a) Pretax cost of debt = Yield on bonds = 8.3%
After-tax cost of debt = 8.3% (1 - 0.4) = 4.98%
b) Cost of Common equity, Re = Risk Free Rate + Beta x (Market Return - Risk Free Rate) = 4% + 1.05 x (11.4% - 4%)
= 4% + 1.05 * 7.4%
= 4% + 7.77%
= 11.77%
c) Cost of preferred stock = Dividend per share/Price * 100
= $8/$76 * 100
= 10.53%
d) Pre-tax WACC = 50% * 11.77% + 10% * 10.53% + 40% * 8.3%
= 5.885 + 1.053 + 3.32
= 10.258
= 10.3%
e) After-tax WACC = 50% * 11.77% + 10% * 10.53% + 40% * 4.98%
= 5.885 + 1.053 + 1.992
= 8.93%

A fire destroyed a large percentage of the financial records of Carter Health System. You have the task of piecing together information to prepare a financial report. You find the profit margin to be 5.4 percent. If sales were $4 million on total assets of $2 million, and the amount of debt financing was $800,000, what was Carter's return on equity (ROE)?
a. 21.6%.
b. 25.8%.
c. 13.8%.
d. 18.0%.
e. 19.2%.
Answer:
d. 18.0%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what was Carter's return on equity (ROE)?
First step is to calculate the Net income
Net income = sales * profit margin
Net income= 4 million * 5.4%
Net income= 216000
Second step is calculate the Equity
Equity = total assets - debt
Equity= 2000000 - 800000
Equity= 1200000
Now let determine the ROE
ROE = Net income/Equity
ROE= 216000/1200000
ROE= 18%
Therefore Carter's return on equity (ROE) is 18%

Answer:
Fredonia Barber Shop
a. Variable costs per haircut = $4.40
Total monthly fixed costs = $8,910
b. Break-even point in units = 1,350
Break-even point in sales dollars = $14,850
Net income with 1,670 haircuts = $2,120
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Fixed costs:
Wages of barbers per month = $6,900 ($1,380 * 5)
Manager's allowance per month = $535
Advertising per month = $270
Rent per month = $1,010
Utilities per month = $160
Magazines per month = $35
Total fixed costs per month = $8,910
Ivanhoe currently charges $11 per haircut.
Variable costs per haircut:
Commission per haircut = $3.75
Barber supplies per haircut = $0.50
Utilities per haircut = $0.15
Total variable costs per unit $4.40
Contribution margin per haircut = $6.60 ($11 - $4.40)
Contribution margin ratio = 0.6
Break-even point in units = $8,910/$6.60 = 1,350
Break-even point in sales dollars = $8,910/0.6 = $14,850
Net income assuming 1,670 haircuts for a month:
Sales revenue = $18,370 ($11 * 1,670)
Variable costs = 7,340 ($4.40 * 1,670)
Contribution $11,030
Fixed costs 8,910
Net income $2,120

Berkeley Corporation has a policy of furnishing new automobiles to the athletic department of the local university. The automobiles are used for short periods of time by the extremely popular head basketball coach. When the automobiles are returned to Berkeley Corporation, they are sole to regular customers. The owner of Berkeley Corporation maintains that any such cars held for more than one year should qualify as Sec. 1231 property. Do you agree?
Answer:
Berkeley Corporation
No. I do not agree with the owner of Berkeley Corporation.
Vehicles or automobiles are section 1245 property and not section 1231.
Explanation:
The IRS regards Section 1231 properties to include buildings, machinery, land, timber, and other natural resources, unharvested crops, cattle, livestock, and leaseholds that are held in a business or trade for at least one year. They are used in trade and not for sale.

Your company sponsors a 401(k) plan into which you deposit 8 percent of your $65,000 annual income. Your company matches 50 percent of the first 3 percent of your earnings. You expect the fund to yield 8 percent next year. Assume you are currently in the 31 percent tax bracket.
Required:
a. How many dollars did you invest out of your salary in your 401(k) plan this year?
b. What is your one-year return?
Answer:
a. $6,669
b.85.87%
Explanation:
Annual income = $65000
Employee deposit = 8%
= 65000*8%
= $5200
Tax rate given = 31%
Tax savings = $5200*31%
Tax savings= 1/$1,612
Net employee cost = $5200 - $1612
Net employee cost=$3588
Employer deposit = 65,000 * 50% * 3%
Employer deposit= $975
Total employee and employer investment = $5200 + $975
Total employee and employer investment= $6175
Given yield rate = 8%
a) Calculation to determine How many dollars did you invest out of your salary in your 401(k) plan this year
Using this formula
Total investment at end of year 1 = $6,175*(1+yield)
Let plug in the formula
Total investment at end of year 1=$6,175*1.08
Total investment at end of year 1= $6,669
Therefore How many dollars did you invest out of your salary in your 401(k) plan this year is $6,669
b) Calculation to determine your one-year return
Using this formula
One year return = (Year end investment - Employee net cost) / Employee net cost
Let plug in the formula
One year return= ($6,669 - $3588) / $3588
One year return=$3,081/$3,588
One year return= 0.8587*100
One year return= 85.87%
Therefore your one-year return is 85.87%

Total Cost Production (units) April $119,400 281,300 May 92,000 162,800 June 99,000 238,000 Using the high-low method, the variable cost per unit and the total fixed costs are a.$0.41 per unit and $27,351 b.$4.14 per unit and $5,470 c.$2.30 per unit and $5,470 d.$0.23 per unit and $54,701
Answer:
The correct answer is D.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total Cost Production (units)
April $119,400 281,300
May 92,000 162,800
June 99,000 238,000
To calculate the variable cost per unit and the total fixed cost, we need to use the following formula:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (119,400 - 92,000) / (281,300 - 162,800)
Variable cost per unit= $0.231
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 119,400 - (0.231*281,300)
Fixed costs= $54,701
Over a certain period, large-company stocks had an average return of 12.34 percent, the average risk-free rate was 2.53 percent, and small-company stocks averaged 17.25 percent. What was the risk premium on small-company stocks for this period
Answer: 14.72%
Explanation:
Risk premium is the amount of return that an investment provides over the risk free return of the market. This is to cater for the higher risk that an investor would incur for investing in the stock.
Risk premium for small company stocks = Average return for small stocks - Risk free rate
= 17.25% - 2.53%
= 14.72%

You wish to retire in 20 years, at which time you want to have accumulated enough money to receive an annual annuity of $30,000 for 25 years after retirement. During the period before retirement you can earn 11 percent annually, while after retirement you can earn 13 percent on your money. What annual contributions to the retirement fund will allow you to receive the $30,000 annuity
Answer:
$3,425.08
Explanation:
The computation of the annual contributions to the retirement fund is shown below:
The Present value of the annuity is
= $30,000 × [1 - (1 ÷ (1 + 13%)^25)] ÷ 13%
= $219,899.55
Now
Future value of annuity = P×[(1+r)^n-1]÷r
$219,899.55 = P×[(1+11%)^20-1]÷11%
Hence, Annual contribution required, P = $3,425.08

The managerial accountant at Fast and Mean Manufacturing reported that the organization contains an automated production line to manufacture and produce its products for consumers to enjoy in the marketplace. The managerial accountant reported that the company uses the high-low method to estimate the costs in the new budget. The managerial accountant reported the following information: Month Total Machine-Hours Total Costs January 250,000 $5,500,000 February 248,000 $5,260,000 March 249,000 $5,400,000 April 248,000 $5,220,000 May 238,000 $5,180,000 June 230,000 $5,130,000 Compute the slope of the mixed cost, or the variable cost per unit of activity. Compute the vertical intercept, or the fixed cost component of the mixed cost. What is the mixed cost equation
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
1. Compute the slope of the mixed cost, or the variable cost per unit of activity.
Variable cost per unit will be:
= (Total Cost at the highest level-l - total cost at the lowest level) / (Highest activity level - lowest activity level)
= (5500000 - 5130000)/(250000 - 230000)
= 370000/20000
= $18.50
2. Compute the vertical intercept, or the fixed cost component of the mixed cost.
The fixed cost will be:
= Total cost - Variable cost
= $5,500,000 - (25,000 × $18.50)
= $5,500,000 - $4,625,000
= $875,000
3. What is the mixed cost equation
Mixed Cost equation will be:
= Fixed Cost + (Variable cost per unit × Total Units of activity )
= 875000 + (18.75 × x)
Y = 875000 + 18.75x
If fixed costs are $1,464,000, the unit selling price is $220, and the unit variable costs are $114, what are the break-even sales (units) if fixed costs are increased by $46,400? a.11,399 units b.21,374 units c.17,099 units d.14,249 units
Answer:
d.14,249 units
Explanation:
Break-even sales (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit
Where,
Contribution per unit = Unit Selling Price - Unit Variable Cost
= $106
therefore,
Break-even sales (units) = ($1,464,000 + $46,400) ÷ $106
= 14,249
thus,
the break-even sales (units) if fixed costs are increased by $46,400 is 14,249 units.
Show what happens to the firm's output choice and profit if the price of the product falls from $52 to $42. If the market price falls from $52 to $42, then the firm's output will decrease or increase from _____units to _____ units. (Enter your responses using integers.)
Answer: The firm's output will therefore decrease from 9 units to 8 units.
Explanation:
This firm most likely operates in a competitive market where price is the same as marginal revenue.
In such a market, firms will try to maximize output by selling at a level where Price is equal to Marginal cost and if they cannot get here, they try to make them as close as possible so long as marginal cost does not exceed price.
As this is the case, when the price was $52, the closest Marginal cost that isn't higher than price was $45 for an output level of 9 units.
If the product falls to $42, the closest marginal cost that isn't higher than the cost is $38 for 8 units.
The firm's output will therefore decrease from 9 units to 8 units.

To determine whether the goal of stable prices is being achieved, the Federal Reserve monitors the ________; to determine whether the goal of maximum employment is being achieved, the Federal Reserve monitors ________.
Answer:
Core PCE deflator inflation rate;
the Output gap
Explanation:
Goals of Monetary Policy
There are several goals of monetary policy. They includes maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates. Usually in the long run, the above goals works in harmony and empower each other, but in the short run, they might be in conflict. The main goal of this policy is price stability as it is the source of maximum employment and moderate long-term interest rates.
The Fed has two possible instruments:they includes;
1. Monetary base
2. Federal funds rate
Output Gap
When this gap is positive, an inflationary gap, the inflation rate increases drastically or accelerate. This will make the Fed to consider raising the federal funds rate. It is said that If the output gap is negative, a recessionary gap, inflation might ease. Thereby making the Fed to consider lowering the federal funds

Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
the cost of paper is not included because it is an intermediate good and not a final good.
An intermediate good is a good that is used in the production of the final good.
If it is added to GDP, it would result in double counting
The value of GDP in this simple economy is $159.
A gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
The formula for GDP is Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Note that "the cost of paper is not included because it is an intermediate good and not a final good and an intermediate good is a good that is used in the production of the final good"
The value of GDP = Cost of books - Cost of paper
The value of GDP = 342 - 183

A manufacturing firm has a marketable permit that currently allows for 150 tons of emissions. However, the marketable permit is shrinkable and the firm will only be allowed 100 tons of emissions next year. The manufacturing firm projects that its optimal emissions next year will be 160 tons. It is the best interest of the manufacturing firm to purchase permits allowing for _______ tons of emissions.
Answer: 60
Explanation:
Since we are given the information that the firm will only be allowed 100 tons of emissions next year while the manufacturing firm projects that its optimal emissions next year will be 160 tons, then it will be in the best interest of the manufacturing firm to purchase permits allowing for (160 - 100) = 60 tons of emissions.
The correct answer is 60 tons of emissions.
Davis-Bell Corporation has an activity-based costing system with three activity cost pools - Machining, Setting Up, and Other. The company's overhead costs have already been allocated to the cost pools and total $5,800 for the Machining cost pool, $4,700 for the Setting Up cost pool, and $7,500 for the Other cost pool. Costs in the machining cost pool are assigned to products based on machine-hours (MHs) and costs in the Setting Up cost pool are assigned to products based on the number of batches. Costs in the Other cost pool are not assigned to products. Data concerning the two products are below: MHs Batches Product Z7 3,800 700 Product K9 6,200 300 Total 10,000 1,000 Calculate activity rates for each activity cost pool using activity-based costing. Determine the amount of overhead cost that would be assigned to each product using activity-based costing.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is given below:
Calculation of Activity Rates
Cost Pool Cost Driver Cost Activity Rate
Machining Machine Hours $5800 $0.58 (5800 ÷ 10000)
Setting Up Batches $4700 $4.70 (4700 ÷ 1000)
Calculation of Overhead Cost to each Product:
Particulars Product Z7 Product K9 Total
Machining $2204 ($0.58 × 3800) $3596 ($0.58 × 6200) $5800
Setting Up $3290 ($4.7 × 700) $1410 ($4.7 × 300) $4700
$5494 $5006 $10500

= [16720 ÷ 0.077] × 0.708
= 153737
Now
value of Firm = 31054 + 153737
= $184791
The inventory turnover ratio: Multiple Choice Is used to analyze collectability. Is used to measure solvency. Reveals how many times a company sells its merchandise inventory during a period. Reveals how many days a company can sell inventory if no new merchandise is purchased. Calculation depends on the company's inventory valuation method.
Answer: Reveals how many times a company sells its merchandise inventory during a period.
Explanation:
The Inventory Turnover Ratio is used to measure how often a company is able to sell off all its inventory within a single period. The higher this is, the better because it means that the company has a high sales rate and is incurring low storage costs since the inventory does not stay with them for long.
It is important to use this ratio relative to the type of industry it is being applied to however. For instance, a car dealership would be expected to have a lower inventory turnover ratio than a grocery store so comparing them using this ratio would be inaccurate.
