Protective effect refers to the wasted resources due to production of good at a higher cost. Consumption effect refers to the loss to consumer due to higher price that leads to less consumption.
Should the home country be "large" relative to the world, its imposition of a tariff on imports would lead to an increase in domestic welfare if the terms-of-trade effect exceeds the sum of the protective effect plus consumption effect
Assume the Macro Islands can produce 25 fishing boats or 150 jars of guava jelly in one hour. The Micro Islands can produce 30 fishing boats or 300 jars of guava jelly in the same time period. This data tells an economist that:________. a. the Macro Islands have an absolute advantage in producing fishing boats and the Micro Islands have an absolute advantage in producing guava jelly. b. the Micro Islands have an absolute advantage in producing fishing boats and the Macro Islands have an absolute advantage in producing guava jelly. c. the Macro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing fishing boats and the Micro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing guava jelly. d. the Micro Islands have a comparative in producing fishing boats and the Macro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing guava jelly. the Micro Islands have a comparative and absolute advantage in producing fishing boats.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option C: the Macro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing fishing boats and the Micro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing guava jelly.
Explanation:
To begin with the term of ''comparative advantage'' is refer to the quality of one country in comparison with another to produce in a better way, a more eficient way, a good. Therefore that when a country has a comparative advantage over another country it means that the first country can produce more of a good with less resources that the second country.
That is why, that the Macro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing fishing boats over the Micro islands due to the fact that there is a very little difference with the other country meanwhile the Micro Islands have a comparative advatange in the production of guava jelly due to the amount of goods that it can produce in the same amount of time with the great amount difference in comparison with the Macro Islands. Therefore that one country chooses to produce the good in which it is better in comparison with the other.

A decrease in operating expenses would have which of the following effects on a company's profit margin? Multiple Choice There is not enough information given to determine the effect. Net profit margin would increase. Net profit margin would decrease. Net profit margin would remain unchanged.
Answer: Net profit margin would increase.
Explanation:
A company's net profit margin is the Net Profit divided by Revenue. Net Profit is derived by subtracting some expenses and liabilities from the Revenue such as Cost of Goods as well as operating expenses.
If operating expenses were to reduce therefore, there would be less subtractions from the revenue. The would translate to a higher Net Profit and when that is then divided by the Revenue, it will give a higher Net Profit Margin.

A. Calculate the growth rate in dividends.
B. Calculate the expected dividend yield .
C. Assuming the calculated growth rate is expected to continue, you can add the dividend yield to the expected growth rate to get the expected total rate of return. What is the stock
Answer:
A. the growth rate in dividends = 7.00%
B. Expected dividend yield = 4.67%
C. Stock's xpected total rate of return = 11.67%
Explanation:
A. Calculate the growth rate in dividends
Current dividend growth rate = (Current year dividend - Previous year dividend) / Previous year dividend
Therefore,
Year 2 dividend growth rate = ($1.1449 - $1.07) / $1.07 = 0.0700, or 7.00%
Year 3 dividend growth rate = ($1.2250 - $1.1449) / $1.1449 = 0.0700, or 7.00%
This shows that;
Year 2 dividend growth rate = Year 3 dividend growth rate = 7.00%
B. Calculate the expected dividend yield
Dividend yield = Dividend per share / Market price per share
Therefore,
Expected dividend yield = Expected dividend per share in year 3 / Expected market price per share in year 3 = $1.2250 / $26.22 = 0.0467, or 4.67%
C. Assuming the calculated growth rate is expected to continue, you can add the dividend yield to the expected growth rate to get the expected total rate of return. What is the stock
Note: The complete statement is "What is this stock’s expected total rate of return?"
Stock's xpected total rate of return = Growth rate + Expected dividend yield in 3 = 7.00% + 4.67% = 11.67%.

2/ (0.12-0.05)= $ 33.33
=2/0.07
=$28.57
Therefore the amount I should be prepared to pay for the stock today will be $28.57

Answer:
Whelan, Inc.
The cash flow to stockholders for the year is $159,000, representing the cash dividends paid during 2019.
Explanation:
Cash flow to stockholders is the amount of cash that a company pays out to its shareholders, usually in the form of cash dividends. Mainly, cash flows to stockholders in two major ways: dividends and stock price increases when shares are sold. Dividends are cash flows to stockholders from the company. These are usually determined by the board of directors. Stock price increases are cash flows to stockholders from the stock exchange market.

The City Transit Authority (CTA) is trying to decide between railcars manufactured by French Corp and Japan Rail Car. The French Corp cars cost more to buy initially, but they are expected to last for 10 years. The Japan Rail Car cars are cheaper initially, but they will wear out in 6 years. The cash flows related to each of the choices are presented below. If the CTA’s cost of capital is 8 percent, which type of car should the CTA buy? Support your answer.
Answer: The Japan Rail Car should be purchased
Explanation:
To find the answer we can use the Net Present Cost. By calculating the total net present value of the total costs involved in both projects, the cheaper alternative can then be chosen.
The cash-flows for both projects are constant so an annuity can be used to calculate them.
Please refer to the annuity table attached.
The French Corp Car
It will cost $275,000 originally and then $10,000 every year after that. The cost of capital is 8%. The goal is to find the present value of all the cost. That can be done by,
= (275,000) + PV of Annuity of $10,000 for 10 year and cost of capital 8% p.a. (look at the table for the intersection of 10 years and 8%)
= 275,000 + 10,000 (6.710)
= 275,000 + 67,100
= $342,100
The Japan Rail Car
It will cost $195,000 originally and then $15,000 every year after that. The cost of capital is 8%. Using the same method,
= (195,000) + PV of Annuity of $15,000 for 6 year and cost of capital 8% p.a. (look at the table for the intersection of 6 years and 8%)
= 195,000 + 15,000(4.623)
=195,000 + 69,345
= $264,345
The Japan Rail Car costs less in terms of total cost over its period of operation and so should be the one purchased by the CTA.

Is the market's expectation of the return on the 3-year bond greater or less than yours? Greater Less rev: 09_14_2018_QC_CS-134332
Answer:
Explanation:
a.) What do you expect the rate of return to be over the coming year on a 3-year zero-coupon bond? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "%" sign in your response.)
Expect the rate of return to be over the coming year on a 3-year zero-coupon bond = 6.1%
b) Under the expectations theory, what yields to maturity does the market expect to observe on 1- and 2-year zeros at the end of the year?(Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Omit the "%" sign in your response
Yields to maturity does the market expect to observe on 1-year at the end of the year = (1+5.1%)^2/(1+4.1%) - 1 = 6.11%
Yields to maturity does the market expect to observe on 1-year at the end of the year = 6.11%
Yields to maturity does the market expect to observe on 2-year at the end of the year = ((1+6.1%)^3/(1+4.1%))^(1/2) - 1
= 7.11%
Yields to maturity does the market expect to observe on 2-year at the end of the year = 7.11%
2b) Is the market's expectation of the return on the 3-year bond greater or less than yours?

Concord Corporation had a 1/1/20 balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of $36500. During 2020, it wrote off $30500 of accounts and collected $8600 on accounts previously written off. The balance in Accounts Receivable was $780000 at 1/1 and $940000 at 12/31. At 12/31/20, Concord estimates that 5% of accounts receivable will prove to be uncollectible. What should Concord report as its Allowance for Doubtful Accounts at 12/31/20
Answer:
$32,400
Explanation:
According to the situation for computation of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts at 12/31/20 first we need to find out the actual balance which is shown below:-
Actual balance = Beginning Balance of Allowance + Amount reinstated - Amount written off + Uncollectible account expenses
= $36,500 + $8,600 - $30,500
= $14,600
Ending balance of Allowance = Balance of accounts receivables × Accounts receivable percentage at 12/31 - Actual balance
= $940,000 × 5% - $14,600
= $47,000 - $14,600
= $32,400
Therefore for reaching the ending balance of allowance we simply applied the above formula.

Based on this information, the balance in the A. Apple, Capital account reported on the Statement of Owner's Equity at the end of the month would be:
A. $31,400.
B. $39,200.
C. $31,150.
D. $40,175.
E. $30,875.
Answer: D. $40,175
Explanation:
The balance in the Capital account reported on the Statement of Owner's Equity will include the Capital contributions of Andrea Apple to the business as well as the Net income from operations also known as Retained Earnings.
The Net Income for the month will be revenue less expenses.
Revenue
$5,700 cash and $2,750 on account for services provided in January.
Revenue is therefore,
= 5,700 + 2,750
= $8,450
Expenses
Expenses include the rent paid of $1,500 and the $275 paid for January Utilities.
= 1,500 + 275
= $1,775
Net Income = Revenue - Expenses
Net Income = 8,450 - 1,775
Net Income = $6,675
The Capital that Mr. Apple brought into the business refers to anything he contributed to the business whether in cash or otherwise.
The Capital therefore is,
- The $13,500 cash and the $20,000 worth of equipment.
The Capital Mr. Apple brought into the business is therefore,
= 13,500 + 20,000
= $33,500
The balance on the capital account will therefore be,
= Capital + Net Income
= 33,500 + 6,675
= $40,175
Option D. is correct.

Mr. Isaac is lending Gh₵20000 to Mr Hayford, to be repaid over five years. Mr Isaac would like to effect a policy on Mr Hayford’s life to cover the loan should Mr Hayford die. Mr Hayford would like to insure Mr Isaac’s life just in case he dies and the beneficiaries of his will insist that the loan be repaid early.
(a) What is the extent of insurable interest in each case?
(b) Consider any necessary action if the loan was later repaid earlier than anticipated what happens to the policy?
Answer:
To answer the question (a), one must first understand the concept of Insurable Interest.
A policyholder is said to have an insurable interest in a subject matter whenever the subject matter of a contract provides some financial gain to them and would lead to a financial loss if damaged, destroyed, stolen or lost.
For example, if I purchase a car for my use for $10,000, theft of or damage to that car will translate to financial loss to me. Therefore, I have an insurance interest in the car. This qualified me to Insure the car against loss arising from any form of insurable damage, or theft.
In question (a) there are two cases.
Case I - Mr Isaac would like to effect a policy on Mr Hayford’s life to cover the loan should Mr Hayford die.
Mr Isaac, in this case, has full insurable interest on Mr Hayfords life. If Mr Hayford dies, Mr Isaac will be put in a financial loss to the tune of Gh₵20000.
Case II - Mr Hayford would like to insure Mr Isaac’s life just in case he dies and the beneficiaries of his will insist that the loan be repaid early.
Mr Hayford does an insurable interest on Mr Isaac's life. This insurable interest arises due to the possibility (as given in the question) that Isaacs family have the power to request for the loan earlier than it ought to have been paid.
The insurable interest arises because paying back the loan earlier than anticipated, may put Mr Hayford in financial distress and may lead to financial and economic loss. If the loan is meant for the running of his business, the business may fold up, and he may forfeit all the assets of the business.
In a real-life scenario, this can all be prevented by ensuring that the terms of the loan are documented in a contract which must be ratified by both parties. In this contract, clauses preventing the lender from cutting short the tenure of the loan can be inserted. This is less expensive and easier to administer.
(b) In each of the cases above, if the loan is paid back earlier than anticipated:
i. Under duress from the family: The provision of the policy protecting the interest of Mr. Hayford kicks in and makes good the loss to mitigate it and terminates afterwards.
ii. By volition by Mr Hayford: The policy terminates immediately as the insurable interest he has on Mr Isaac's life becomes extinct.

Solve accepted a 60-day, 9 percent note from Pete Houghton in settlement of his past-due account for $6,000. On April 9, Westwood Company discounted the note at the First National Bank. The bank charged a discount rate of 12 percent. What is the amount of the proceeds
Missing information:
The note was accepted on March 10
Answer:
$6,029.10
Explanation:
in order to answer the question, I assumed a 360 day year, so 60 days = 2/12 of a year
the note's value on maturity date = principal + accrued interest = $6,000 + ($6,000 x 9% x 2/12) = $6,000 + $90 = $6,090
bank charges = note's value on maturity date x discount rate x 30 days = $6,090 x 12% x 1/12 = $60.90
net proceeds = $6,090 - $60.90 = $6,029.10

A perfectly elastic demand function A. shows that a consumer is willing to pay any amount for the product. B. has a marginal revenue that is always decreasing. C. is characteristic of an individual firm operating in a perfectly competitive market. D. shows that the individual firm can increase sales by lowering the price of output.
Answer:
C. is characteristic of an individual firm operating in a perfectly competitive market.
Explanation:
Demand is perfectly elastic if the coefficient of elasticity is infinite. It means thay consumers would only buy at one price. Once that price changes, demand falls to zero.
A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply.
If a seller decides to increase the price of his good in a perfect competition, demand falls to zero and reducing price woild lead to losses.

Target profit is $100,000; fixed overhead costs are $120,000 and fixed selling and administrative costs are $50,000. If total variable cost is $675,000, the markup percentage to the variable cost using the variable cost method is %. Round your answer to the nearest whole percent
Answer:
40%
Explanation:
The markup percentage to the variable cost using the variable cost method can be obtained by dividing the addition of the target profit and total fixed cost by the total variable cost as follows:
Total fixed cost = Fixed overhead costs + Fixed selling and administrative costs = $120,000 + $50,00 = $170,000
The markup percentage to the variable cost = (Target profit + Total fixed cost) / Total variable cost = ($100,000 + $170,000) / $675,000 = $270,000 / $675,000 = 0.40, or 40%.
Therefore, the markup percentage to the variable cost using the variable cost method is 40%.

Maple Aircraft has issued a convertible bond at 4.75% interest due 2020. The market price of the convertible is 93% of face value (face value is $1,000). The conversion price is $45. Assume that the value of the bond in the absence of a conversion feature is about 63% of face value. How much is the convertible holder paying for the option to buy one share of common stock?
Answer:
The convertible holder paying for the option to buy one share of common stock is $13.63
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
Value of convertible bond=93%*1,000=$930
Value of straight bond=63%*1,000=$630
Value of warrants=$300
Hence, number of warrants per bond=$1,000/$45
number of warrants per bond=22
Therefore, price of one warrant=$300/22
price of one warrant=$13.63
The convertible holder paying for the option to buy one share of common stock is $13.63
On June 30, 2011, Cole Inc., exchanged 3,000 shares of Stone Corp. $30 par value common stock for a patent owned by Gore Co. The Stone stock was acquired in 2009 at a cost of $80,000. At the exchange date, Stone common stock had a fair value of $45 per share, and the patent had a net carrying value of $160,000 on Gore's books. Cole should record the patent at:
Answer:
$135000
Explanation:
Cole should record the patent at $135000. The intangible asset is recorded at the price at which it was purchased. Net carrying value of $160000 in the books of seller is not useful.
At the time of purchase of intangible asset, the fair value of stone stock exchanged was $45.
So the patent cost is =
3000 shares × $45 per share = $135000.
Cole should record the patent at this value.
You are upgrading to better production equipment for your firm's only product. The new equipment will allow you to make more of your product in the same amount of time. Thus, you forecast that total sales will increase next year by 16 % over the current amount of 102 comma 000 units. If your sales price is $ 19 per unit, what are the incremental revenues next year from the upgrade?
Answer:
$310,080
Explanation:
Incremental revenue refers to the additional revenue generated by a certain project or activity. In this case, your sales should increase by 16% from 102,000 units to 118,320 units. Total revenue will increase from $1,938,000 (= 102,000 x $19) to $2,248,080 (= 118,320 x $19).
The incremental revenue = $2,248,080 - $1,938,000 = $310,080
You recently received a letter from Cut-to-the-Chase National Bank that offers you a new credit card that has no annual fee. It states that the annual percentage rate (APR) is 16 percent on outstanding balances. What is the effective annual interest rate?
Answer:
Effect Annual rate of return =17.22%
Explanation:
The Effective annual rate of return is the equivalent rate earned where compounding is done frequently at period or interval less than a year.
EAR = (1+r/m)^n× m - 1
EAR - Equivalent annual rate of return, r- annul rate of return, n-number of years
r= 16/12 =1.333%, n= 1 m= 12 (note there are 12 months in a year)
EAR = (1+0.16/12)^(1×12) - 1
EAR = 1.0133^12 - 1 = 0.1722
EAR 0.1722 × 100 = 17.22%
Effect Annual rate of return =17.22%
What is fixed and variable cost?
Answer:
Okay, so fixed costs are costs that are consistant in their price (buildings, rent, machinery, etc.). Variable costs are costs that change based on production (wages, materials, utilities, etc.).

Explained above.
You have $13,000 to invest in a stock portfolio. Your choices are Stock X with an expected return of 13 percent and Stock Y with an expected return of 8 percent. Assume your goal is to create a portfolio with an expected return of 11.45 percent. How much money will you invest in Stock X and Stock Y
Answer:
You should invest $8,970 in stock X and $4,030 in stock Y.
Explanation:
These can be estimated as follows:
PER = (ERX * wX) + (ERY * wY) ....................... (1)
Where,
PER = Portfolio expected return = 11.45%, or 0.1145
ERX = Expected return of X = 13%, or 0.13
ERY = Expected retun of Y = 8%, or 0.08
wX = Weight of X = ?
wY = Weight of Y = 1 - wX = ?
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
0.1145 = [0.13 * wX] + [0.08 * (1 - wX)]
0.1145 = 0.13wX + [0.08 - 0.08wX]
0.1145 = 0.13wX + 0.08 - 0.08wX
0.1145 - 0.08 = 0.13wX - 0.08wX
0.0345 = 0.05wX
wX = 0.0345 / 0.05
wX = 0.69
Since wY = 1 - wX
Therefore,
wY = 1 - 0.69
wY = 0.31
Total amount to invest = $13,000
Investment in stock X = Amount to invest * 0.69 = $13,000 * 0.69 = $8,970
Investment in stock Y = Amount to invest * 0.31 = $13,000 * 0.31 = $4.030
Therefore, you should invest $8,970 in stock X and $4,030 in stock Y.
