Answer:
At constant prices, a $200 billion rise in government spending will increase Real GDP by 640 billion
and;
A $200 billion cut in taxes will increase real GDP by 580 billion
Explanation:
Government spending multiplier = 3.2
Tax multiplier = 2.9
Mathematically;
ΔY/ΔG = 3.2
ΔY/200 = 3.2
ΔY = 200 * 3.2
ΔY = 640 billion
Cut in taxes;
Tax multiplier = 2.9
ΔY/ΔT = 2.9
ΔY/200 = 2.9
ΔY = 2.9 * 200
ΔY = 580 billion
The Fine Point Company currently produces all of the components for its one product, an electric pencil sharpener. The unit cost of manufacturing the motor for this pencil sharpener is: Direct materials$1.75 Direct labor$1.65 Variable overhead$0.75 Fixed overhead$0.60 The company is considering the possibility of buying this motor from a subcontractor and has been quoted a price of $3.60 per unit. The relevant cost of manufacturing the motor to be considered in reaching the decision is:
Answer:
$4.15 per unit
Explanation:
The computation of the relevant cost of manufacturing the motor is shown below:
Relevant cost per unit = Direct material per unit + direct labor per unit + variable overhead per unit
= $1.75 + $1.65 + $0.75
= $4.15 per unit
For reaching the decision, we simply added the direct material per unit, direct labor per unit and variable overhead per unit so that the correct answer could arrive
The cost of doing business is most likely to be the lowest in:_______.
a. closed totalitarian states.
b. primitive or undeveloped economies.
c. open democratic societies.
d. countries where local laws and regulations set strict standards with regard to product safety, safety in the workplace, and environmental pollution.
e. countries that lack well-established laws for regulating business practice.
Answer:
C. Open democratic societies.
Explanation:
Generally, the cost of doing business is most likely to be the lowest in an open democratic societies.
An open democratic society is one that is characterized by a degree of freedom for the populace and as such, it gives the people the privilege of fairly competing for all resources.
In an open democratic society, there's ease of doing business because the government would ensure there's an enabling environment by virtue of laws, regulations, policies, SME loans, taxation etc. The open society being opposed to autocracy, ensures that the government is typically responsive and tolerant to every individual living in the country. This simply means that, fundamental human rights and all the necessary infrastructures or amenities such as power, water, transportation systems are readily available and accessible to all.
Consequently, the cost of doing business becomes low and more individuals would be willing to startup their business; investors are confident of investing in the economy because they believe in the system put in place in an open democratic society.
Clipper Corporation is considering an investment of $70,000 in a project that will generate annual net operating income of $12,950. If the division planning to make the investment currently has a return on investment of 20% and its manager is evaluated based on the division's ROI, will the division manager be inclined to request funds to make this investment
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
But before reaching any decision, first we have to find out the ROI for new investment which is
ROI of new investment = net operating income ÷ investment
= $12,950 ÷ $70,000
= 18.50%
Now
If investment taken place, then overall ROI is
= Total net operating income ÷ Total average operating assets
= ($380,000 + $12,950) ÷ ($2,000,000 + $70,000)
= 18.98%
As we can see that the overall ROI i.e 18.98% is less than the currently ROI i.e 20% so he should not recommend ROI as it is shows fallen
On October 1, Oriole Corporation’s stockholders’ equity is as follows.
Common stock, $7 par value $535,500
Paid-in capital in excess of par—common stock 30,000
Retained earnings 167,000
Total stockholders’ equity $732,500
On October 1, Oriole declares and distributes a 10% stock dividend when the market price of the stock is $14 per share.
Required:
a. Compute the par value per share (1) before the stock dividend and (2) after the stock dividend.
b. Indicate the balances in the three stockholders? equity accounts after the stock dividend shares have been distributed.
Answer:
a. Compute the par value per share (1) before the stock dividend and (2) after the stock dividend.
1) $7 per stock2) $7 per stockb. Indicate the balances in the three stockholders? equity accounts after the stock dividend shares have been distributed.
Common stock $589,050Paid-in capital in excess of par - common stock $83,550Retained earnings $625,400Explanation:
since it is a "small" stock dividend, it will be carried out at market value and not at par value.
the total number of stocks = $535,500 / $7 par value = 76,500 stocks
total transaction = 76,500 stocks x $14 x 10% = $107,100
the journal entry should be:
Dr Retained earnings 107,000
Cr Common stock 53,550
Cr Paid in capital in excess of par value 53,550
total common stock account = $535,500 + $53,550 = $589,050 / 84,150 stocks = $7 per stock
In January the price of dark chocolate candy bars was $2.00, and Aji’s Chocolate Factory produced 80 pounds. In February the price of dark chocolate candy bars was $2.50, and Aji’s Factory produced 110 pounds. In March the price of dark chocolate candy bars was $3.00, and Aji’s Factory produced 140 pounds.a. Calculate the price elasticity of supply for Aji's Chocolate Factory in February b. Calculate the price elasticity of supply for Aji's Chocolate Factory in March c. If Aji's Factory is nearly at full capacity of production in March, what will happen to Aji's Factory price elasticity of supply in April?
Answer:
a. Calculate the price elasticity of supply for Aji's Chocolate Factory in February
1.5 elasticb. Calculate the price elasticity of supply for Aji's Chocolate Factory in March
1.36 elasticc. If Aji's Factory is nearly at full capacity of production in March, what will happen to Aji's Factory price elasticity of supply in April?
If the company is producing at full capacity, then its price elasticity of supply will be perfectly inelastic even if the price increases. This is because any increase in price will not affect the quantity supplied because the company cannot increase it even if they wanted to.Explanation:
price elasticity of supply = % change in quantity supplied / % change in price
It measures the proportional change in the quantity supplied that producers will make given a 1% change in the price of their product.
PES February = [(110 - 80)/80] / [(2.5 - 2)/2] = 0.375 / 0.25 = 1.5
PES March = [(140 - 110)/110] / [(3 - 2.5)/2.5] = 0.273 / 0.2 = 1.36
An investor requires a 3 percent increase in purchasing power in order to induce her to lend. She expects inflation to be 2 percent next year. The nominal rate she must charge is about:__________.a) 1 percent.b) 2 percent.c) 3 percent.d) 5 percent.e) 7 percent.
Answer:
Nominal rate = 5%
Explanation:
Given:
Require rate = 3%
Inflation rate = 2%

The Dominican Republic is considering placing a room tax on Eco Hotels. The preliminary analysis requires them to calculate consumer and producer surplus before the tax. Below are the demand and supply equations for eco hotel rooms in the Dominican Republic.
Demand equation: Qd = 2500 - 5P
Supply equation: Qs = 1OP - 500
Calculate consumer surplus. Number
Calculate producer surplus.
Answer:
The consumer surplus is 225,000
The producer surplus is 112,500
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
Demand equation: Qd = 2500 - 5P
Supply equation: Qs = 1OP - 500
Therefore, the equilibrium is at demand equal to the supply
2500-5P=10P-500
15P=3000
P=200
Q=10P-500=10*200-500=1500
The inverse demand function is
P=500-0.2Q
Therefore, CS=0.5*(Pmax -Pe)*Qe
=0.5*(500-200)*1500
=225,000
The consumer surplus is 225,000
Regarding PS, maximum price or y-intercept of the demand curve
Pe and Qe are equilibrium price and quantity the inverse supply curve
P=50+0.1Q
PS=0.5*(Pe-Pl)Qe
Pl=y intercept of supply curve
PS=0.5*(200-50)*1500
=112,500
The producer surplus is 112,500
A notice is published stating that RMO 5% convertible preferred stock will be called at $60 per share. The preferred is convertible into 1/2 share of common and is selling in the market at $56 per share. RMO common stock is selling in the market at $110 per share. After the notice appears, the price of the preferred stock will most likely trade in the market at: _________.
Answer: d. A price near $60
Explanation:
The Preferred Stock was selling at $56 then a notice was circulated that RMO would be calling the stock at a price of $60.
This $60 is more than the current $56 and so this will need to reflect in the price of the stock. The adjustment will cause the Preferred stock to start trading near $60 as traders will seek to take advantage of the impending call by buying at a lower price and thus making a bit of profit when the stock is called at $60. The market will adjust to this because the Preferred stock will be perceived as undervalued. A price closer to the Call price will therefore become the new price to properly value the stock.
Trademark dilution laws: Select one: a. protect "distinctive" or "famous" marks from unauthorized uses even when confusion is not likely to occur. b. are intended at protecting consumers rather than focusing on protecting the investment of trademark owners. c. permit a company to quickly penetrate a foreign market without incurring the substantial financial and legal risks associated with direct investment. d. require the licensee to transfer any inventions it derives from the licensed technology to the licensor.
Answer:
a. protect "distinctive" or "famous" marks from unauthorized uses even when confusion is not likely to occur.
Explanation:
Trademark dilution laws are rules and regulations that seek to protect the trademarks of well known brands from unauthorized use by other brands, in such a way that the distinctive attribute of the trademark is minimized. Trademark dilution laws are meant to ensure that the main purpose for which a product's trademark is known is meant to stand out significantly in the mind of consumers.
Smaller companies might want to copy the trademark of famous brands for their products which might be different. These laws seek to prevent this act even if it may not cause confusion in the minds of consumers as to which brand owns a product.

Gasoline is considered a final good if it is sold by a a. gasoline station to a bus company that operates a bus route between San Francisco and Los Angeles. b. pipeline operator to a gasoline station in San Francisco. c. gasoline station to a motorist in Los Angeles. d. All of the above are correct.
Answer:
c. gasoline station to a motorist in Los Angeles.
Explanation:
A final good is a good that is used by the consumer to satisfy current wants and it is not used to produce another good.
Gasoline would be used by the fuel station in San Francisco to generate cash by selling it. So it is not a final good.
The bus company uses the fuel as an input needed to generate cash. It is not a final good to the bus company.

Quisco Systems has 6.6 billion shares outstanding and a share price of $18.41. Quisco is considering developing a new networking product in house at a cost of $498 million. Alternatively, Quisco can acquire a firm that already has the technology for $913 million worth (at the current price) of Quisco stock. Suppose that absent the expense of the new technology, Quisco will have EPS of $0.74.
A. Suppose Quisco develops the product in house. What impact would the development cost have on Quisco’s EPS. Assume all costs are are incurred this year.and are treated as an R&D expense. Quisco’s tax rate is35%, and the number of shares outstanding is unchanged.
B. Suppose Quisco does not developthe product in house but instead acquire the technology. What effect would the acquisition have on Quisco’s EPS thisyear?
C. Which method of acquiring the technology has a smaller impact on earning? Is this method cheaper?Explain.
Answer:
A) EPS will decrease by $0.05 to $0.69
B) EPS will decrease by $0.01 to $0.73
C) The impact on EPS is smaller if the company is acquired. This doesn't mean that it is cheaper to do it that way, but since the EPS is very low, any significant increase in costs will result in steep reduction of EPS. The cheapest way would be to issue new stocks to cover the expenses of developing the new technology.
Explanation:
6.6 billion shares outstanding and a share price of $18.41, current EPS $0.74, total current earnings = $4,884 million
in house development = $498 million will reduce net earnings by $498 x 65% = $323.7 million or $0.05 per share
EPS = $0.74 - $0.05 = $0.69
if Quisco decides to acquire the company, then total shares will increase by $913,000,000 / $18.41 = 49,592,613 shares
total outstanding shares = 6,600,000,000 + 49,592,613 = 6,649,592,613 shares
EPS = $4,884,000,000 / 6,649,592,613 = $0.73

Answer:
Preferred Stock Common Stock
(dividend per share) (dividend per share)
Year 1 $1.50 $0.75
Year 2 $0.60 $0.00
Year 3 $2.40 $1.05
Explanation:
For Year 1:
Total dividend distributed = $75,000
Preferred shareholders' dividend = $50 * 25,000 * 3% = $37,500
Preferred shareholders' dividend per share = $37,500 / 25,000 = $1.50
Common stockholders' dividend = Total dividend distributed - Preferred shareholders' dividend = $75,000 - $37,500 = $37,500
Common stockholders' dividend per share = $37,500 / 50,000 = $0.75
For Year 2:
Total dividend distributed = $15,000
Dividend payable to preferred shareholders = $50 * 25,000 * 3% = $37,500
Dividend paid to preferred shareholders = $15,000
Preferred shareholders' dividend per share = $15,000 / 25,000 = $0.60
Preferred shareholders' dividend carried forward = Dividend payable to preferred shareholders - Total dividend distributed = $37,500 - $15,000 = $22,500
Common stockholders' dividend = $0
Common stockholders' dividend per share = $0
For Year 3:
Total dividend distributed = $112,500
Total dividend paid to preferred shareholders = $37,500 + Preferred shareholders' dividend carried down from Year 2 = $37,500 + $22,500 = $60,000
Preferred shareholders' dividend per share = $60,000 / 25,000 = $2.40
Common stockholders' dividend = Total dividend distributed - Total dividend paid to preferred shareholders = $112,500 - $60,000 = $52,500
Common stockholders' dividend per share = $52,500 / 50,000 = $1.05
On average, 5% of credit sales has been uncollectible in the past. At year-end, before adjusting entries, the Accounts Receivable balance is $100,000 and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance is $500 (credit). Net credit sales during the year were $150,000. Using the percentage of credit sales method, the ending balance in the "Allowance for Doubtful Accounts" is
Answer: $7500
Explanation:
The following can be deduced from the question:
Accounts Receivable balance= $100,000
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = $500
Net credit sales = $150,000.
Percentage-of-sales approach states that the amount of bad debt expense that is recognized by a company will be calculated as a percentage of the credit sales that are generated during the current accounting period.
Using the percentage of credit sales method, the ending balance in the "Allowance for Doubtful Accounts" will be:
= Net credit sales × percentage of credit sales uncollected in the past
= $150,000 × 5%
= $150,000 × 0.05
= $7500

Explanation:
We first remove the non.monetary concepts from the net income.
Then we adjust for the change in working capital which are the increase and decrease in the current assets and liabilities account
Increase in asset and decrease in liabilities represent cash outflow
while the opposite is true when an asset decrease(convert to cash) or a liability increase (delay of the payment)
Dividends Paid Calculation:
Beginning R/E 685 + 3,180 Income - Ending R/E 830 = 3,035

On October 31, 2018, your company's records say that the company has $20,419.93 in its checking account. A review of the bank statement shows you have three outstanding checks totaling $8,912.25, and the bank has paid you interest of $27.14 and charged you $22.00 in service charges. The bank statement dated October 31, 2018 would report a balance of: (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer: $29337.32
Explanation:
The following can be reduced from the question:
Balance as per company's ledger = $20,419.93
Add the outstanding checks= $8912.25
Add interest = $27.14
Less the fee charged by the bank = $22.00
The bank statement dated October 31, 2018 would report a balance of:
=($20,419.93 + $8912.25 + $27.14) - $22.00
= $29337.32

a. Journalize the issuance of the note on January 1, 2018
b. Journalize the first payment on December 31, 2018
Answer:
Dr cash $120,000
Cr Notes payable $120,000
Dr interest expense $2,400
Dr notes payable $30,000
Cr cash $32,400
Explanation:
The issuance of the notes payable of $120,000 means that White Corporation's cash inflow has increased by $120,000 while its corresponding loan obligation has also gone up by the same amount.
On 31 December 2018,White Corporation would need to repay $30,000 principal plus interest of $2,400 ($120,000*2%).The interest payment is debited to interest expense while $30,000 repayment is debited to notes payable and cash is credited with the total of $32,400
A company produces a single product. Variable production costs are $13.50 per unit and variable selling and administrative expenses are $4.50 per unit. Fixed manufacturing overhead totals $51,000 and fixed selling and administration expenses total $55,000. Assuming a beginning inventory of zero, production of 5,500 units and sales of 4,350 units, the dollar value of the ending inventory under variable costing would be:
Answer:
$15,525
Explanation:
Calculation for ending inventory under variable costing
Using this formula
Units in ending inventory = Units in beginning inventory + Units produced −Units sold
Thus,
= 0 units + 5,500 units −4,350 units
= 1,150 units
Formula for Value of ending inventory under variable costing
= Unit in ending inventory × Variable production cost
= 1,150 units × $13.50 per unit
= $15,525
The Baldwin company will continue to train their existing workforce at their current level to help reduce turnover and improve productivity next year. Employee training costs $20 per hour. How much would their training costs per employee be to the nearest dollar
Answer: $1,600
Explanation:
The training hours per employee can be calculated by multiplying the Employee Training hours by the cost of training per employee.
From the Attached document, the Baldwin company does 80 hours of training for employees.
The Training costs per Employee is;
= 80 * 20
= $1,600
If the Baldwin Company organizes 80 hours of training for each employer in a given year, and the training cost per hour for an employee is $20, it implies that the training costs per employee would be $1,600 ($20 x 80).
Data and Calculations:
Training costs per employee per hour = $20
Training hours per employee in a year 80 hours
Total training costs per employee in a year = $1,600 ($20 x 80)
Thus, the Baldwin Company spends $1,600 per employee in training them so that employee turnover would be reduced while productivity improves.

In case of b, c, d ,e volatility is less than that of original stock You are hired by the Council of Economic Advisors (CEA) as an economic consultant. The Chairperson of the CEA tells you that she believes the current unemployment rate is too high. The unemployment rate can be reduced if aggregate output increases. She wants to know what policy to pursue to increase aggregate output by $500 billion. The best estimate she has for the MPC is 0.5. Which of the following policies should you recommend? Why?
A) increase government purchases by $200 billion B) increase government purchases by $250 billion C) cut taxes by $200 billion D) cut taxes by $200 billion and to increase government purchases by $200 billion
Answer:
Council of Economic Advisors (CEA)
I would recommend this policy to increase aggregate output:
B) increase government purchases by $250 billion
Explanation:
To increase aggregate output (GDP) by $500 billion, in order to reduce the unemployment rate, government, given the best estimate for the MPC as 0.5, it would be to increase government purchases by $250 billion. The MPC is the marginal propensity to consume.
By increasing government purchases by $250 billion, the ripple effect would ginger industries to generate more output, thereby increasing the factors that affect aggregate output. These actions would then increase aggregate output by more than $500 billion. This choice is made because government spending is funded from taxes, making government unable to cut taxes.
Economists define aggregate output as "the sum of all the goods and services produced in an economy over a certain period of time." Aggregate output is an economy's total productivity or GDP (Gross Domestic Product). The factors that determine aggregate output include household wealth, consumer and business expectations, capacity utilization, monetary policy, fiscal policy, exchange rates, and foreign GDP.
The equation for calculating aggregate output, which expands the GDP by showing price level, is given as "Y = Y ad = C + I + G + NX tells us that aggregate output (or aggregate income) is equal to aggregate demand, which in turn is equal to consumer expenditure plus investment (planned, physical stuff) plus government spending plus net exports (exports – imports)."
"An investor wishes to buy a new issue of U.S. Government agency bonds. You recommend that the customer purchase Federal Home Loan Bank bonds with a 20 year maturity. An investor who purchases the new issue of Federal Home Loan Bank bonds can expect to pay:"
Answer: A. Par
Explanation:
While US Government bonds are usually sold at auction which means a price different from Par, Federal Agency bonds operate much like Corporate Bonds in their selling procedure. They engage a group of Underwriters called a Selling group which can be made up of large banks and brokers.
These underwriters will then handle everything that have to do with the sale and sell it to the public. Like a Corporate listing, they get a commission from this.
Because of this direct sale by the Underwriter to the public, the Public is most likely to get the offering at Par.
The rate of economic growth per capita in france from 1996 to 2000 was 1.9% per year, while in korea over the same period it was 4.2%. Per capita real GDP was $28,900 in france in 2003, and $12,700 in korea. Assume the growth rates for each country remain the same.
1. Compute the doubling time for France’s per capita real GDP.
2. Compute the doubling time for Korea’s per capita real GDP.
3. What will France’s per capita real GDP be in 2045?
4. What will Korea’s per capita real GDP be in 2045?
Answer:
36.83 years
16.85 years
$63,710.88
$ 71,490.43
Explanation:
We can use the nper formula in excel to compute the doubling time for the capital real GDP of both countries
=nper(rate,pmt,-pv,fv)
FV is the future real GDP which $28,900*2=$57,800 for France while that of Korea is $25,400 ($12,700*2)
PV is the present real GDP
rate is the economic growth rate of 4.2% in Korea and 1.9% in France
France=nper(1.9%,0,-28900,57800)= 36.83
Korea=nper(4.2%,0,-12700,25400)= 16.85
In 2045 ,which is 42 years from now the real GDP are shown thus:
=fv(rate,nper,pmt,-pv)=fv(1.9%,42,0,-28900)=$63,710.88
=fv(rate,nper,pmt,-pv)=fv(4.2%,42,0,-12700)=$ 71,490.43

2 brothers, Joe and Bob get equal dollar amounts of securities as a gift. Joe immediately sells his securities and deposits the money to a bank account. On the other hand, Bob keeps his securities positions and holds them in a brokerage account. After 5 years, Joe has $10,000 in his bank account, while Bob has $30,000 in his brokerage account. The $20,000 difference between the account balances is explained by:
Answer:
Opportunity cost
Explanation:
The opportunity cost Bob's brother Joe $20,000. Remember, the term Opportunity cost refers to the cost (loss in this context) incurred when one forgoes an alternative best option–holding them in a brokerage account, in place for a less beneficial one.
Thus, Bob chose the best alternative over his brother.
