Sean is a baseball player who earns $890,000 per year playing for team X. If he weren't playing baseball for team X, he would be playing baseball for team Y and earning $660,000 per year. If he weren't playing baseball at all, he would be working as an accountant earning $90,000 per year. What is his economic rent as a baseball player?
Answer: The answer is given below
Explanation:
Economic rent is a payment to a factor of production that is in excess of the costs which are needed to bring the factor into production. It is the payment in excess of the opportunity cost.
Economic rent = Present opportunity - opportunity cost.
Sean is a baseball player who earns $890,000 per year playing for team X. If he weren't playing baseball for team X, he would be playing baseball for team Y and earning $660,000 per year. His economic rent in this case will be:
Economic rent = Present opportunity - opportunity cost.
= $890,000 - $660,000
= $230,000
If he weren't playing baseball at all, he would be working as an accountant earning $90,000 per year. His economic rent in this case will be:
Economic rent = Present opportunity - opportunity cost.
= $890,000 - $90,000
= $800,000

Assume Time Warner shares have a market capitalization of $40 billion. The company is expected to pay a dividend of $0.25 per share and each share trades for $40. The growth rate in dividends is expected to be 7% per year. Also, Time Warner has $20 billion of debt that trades with a yield to maturity of 9%. If the firm's tax rate is 40%, what is the WACC
Answer:
6.88%
Explanation:
cost of equity = (next period dividend / by price) + growth rate in dividends.
cost of debt = yield to maturity x (1 - tax rate)
WACC = weight of debt x cost of debt + weight of equity x cost of equity.
cost of equity = ($0.25 / $40) + 0.07
= 0.07625
cost of debt = 0.09 x (1 - 0.4)
=0.054
WACC = ($40Billion x 0.07625) / 60billion + ($20 billion x 0.054) / $60billion
= 0.05083 + 0.018
= 0.0688 or 6.88%

Kelly received a $60,000 salary during 2017. Her federal income tax withholding rate was 20%, and the Social Security base amount for 2017 was $118,500.What is the total amount that her employer should have withheld in 2017?
A. $15,390
B. $16,590
C. $15,979
D. $6,849
Answer: B. $16,590
Explanation:
The FICA tax rate which is the combined Social Security and Medicare rate for 2017 was 7.65%.
Assuming a base of $118,500 this means that you are taxed on your first $118,500 in earnings.
Kelly only made $60,000 so the tax rate will apply to her $60,000.
Adding that to the 20% that she is due to pay on Federal Income tax the total amount her employer withheld was,
= (60,000 * 20%) + (60,000 * 7.65%)
= 12,000 + 4,590
= $16,590
Option B is correct.
A water utility is planning to construct a grease treatment facility so that local haulers will not have to transport grease to a city 550 km away. The facility will cost $400,000 to build and $160,000 per year to operate. Benefits to the haulers and restaurant owners (through reduced costs) are expected to be $250,000 per year. If the facility will have a 10-year life, the B/C ratio at 6% per year is closest to:
Answer:
The B/C ratio at 6% per year is closest to 1.17
Explanation:
In order to calculate the B/C ratio at 6% per year we would have to make first the following calculations:
Present Worth(PW) of annual operating cost (excel formula) =PV(0.06,10,160000,0) = $1,177,613.93
PW of annual benefit (excel formula) =PV(0.06,10,250000,0) = $1,840,021.76
Present cost (at beginning of project) = $400,000
Therefore, to calculate the B/C ratio at 6% we would use the following formula:
B/C ratio at 6%=PW of benefits-PW of disbenefits/Initial cost+PW of operating and maintenance-PW of salvage value
B/C ratio = ($1,840,021.76 - 0)/($400,000 - $1,177,613.93) = 1.17
Geoffrey, Suzanne, Jay, and Emma are college roommates. They're trying to decide where the four of them should go for spring break: Las Vegas or Vail. If they order the tickets by 10:00 PM on February 1, the cost will be just $500 per person. If they miss that deadline, the cost rises to $1,200 per person.
The following table shows the benefit (in dollar terms) that each roommate would get from the two trips.
Roommate Benefit from Las Vegas Benefit from Vail
Geoffrey $600 $1,300
Suzanne $850 $850
Jay $900 $700
Emma $1,100 $650
The roommates tend to put off making decisions. So, when February 1 rolls around and they still haven't made a decision, they schedule a vote for 9:00 PM that night. In case of a tie, they will flip a coin between the two vacation destinations.
The roommates will get the most total benefit if they choose to go to .
Given the individual benefits each roommate receives from the two trips, which trip will each roommate vote for? Fill in the table with each roommate's preferred location, assuming that a given roommate will abstain if he or she has no preference.
Roommate Vote
Emma
Jay
Suzanne
Geoffrey
Under majority rule, the roommates will vote to go to . Therefore, majority rule leads to an economically outcome.
Suppose Emma misses the vote, leaving Geoffrey, Suzanne, and Jay to figure out where they're going to go.
Geoffrey and Jay argue for their preferred destinations, but Suzanne offers to vote with Geoffrey if Geoffrey will vote on her side in an upcoming class election. This is an example of:________.
Answer: Please refer to explanation
Explanation:
1. The roommates will get the most total benefit if they choose to go to ________.
To answer this, you add the total benefit they could all get from going to either Las Vegas or Vail.
Las Vegas
= 600 + 850+ 900 + 1,100
= $3,450
Vail
= 1,300 + 850+ 700 + 650
= $3,500
The room mates in total will get a higher benefit if they choose to go to Vail.
2. Which location will each pick based on their benefits.
Emma gets a higher benefit if they go to Las Vegas so they will pick that.
Jay gets a higher benefit if they go to Las Vegas as well so they will pick that.
Suzanne will abstain as both places give them the same benefit.
Geoffrey gets a higher benefit if they go to Vail so they will pick that.
3. Under majority rule, the roommates will vote to go to ________ .
They will vote to go to Las Vegas because Emma and Jay will vote for it, Suzanne will abstain and Geoffrey will vote for Vail meaning 2 votes out of 3 for Las Vegas.
4. Therefore, majority rule leads to an economically _______ outcome.
Inefficient outcome because in total they will get a smaller benefit going to Las Vegas as opposed to Vail.5. This is an example of:________.
Logrolling
Logrolling is a practice by which people promise to mutually support each other at different times. Simply speaking, one will support the other in exchange for the other supporting the one at some later period in time. This is the deal that Suzanne offer Geoffrey.
Suppose that a 1-year zero-coupon bond with face value $100 currently sells at $90.37, while a 2-year zero sells at $77.15. You are considering the purchase of a 2-year-maturity bond making annual coupon payments. The face value of the bond is $100, and the coupon rate is 9% per year. a. What is the yield to maturity of the 2-year zero?(Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)
Answer:
The yield to maturity on the 2 year-zero coupon bond is 13.85% as computed in the explanation section below
Explanation:
The yield to maturity on the 2-year-zero coupon bond can be computed using the rate formula in excel as shown thus:
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
nper is the number of annual coupon payments which is 2
pmt is the amount of annual coupon payment which is zero since it is a zero coupon bond
pv is the current price of the bond which is $77.15
fv is the face value of the bond which is $100
=rate(2,0,-77.15,100)=13.85%

Since the new products were introduced, average costs rose dramatically. The vendor is experiencing:________.
A. Economies of scope.
B. Diseconomies of scope.
C. Economies of scale.
D. Diseconomies of scale.
The correct answer is B. Diseconomies of scope
Explanation:
In businesses, diseconomies of scope occur when costs increase when two or more products are produced by the same business. This means it is cheaper and more efficient for a business to specialize in a few products rather than focusing on diverse products. This occurs in the case presented because the production of turkey dogs and ham sandwiches increased the costs, which shows it is more efficient for the business to specialize in a few products. Thus, this vendor is experiencing diseconomies of scope.

ANSWER: The data collected is NOT an appropriate representation that can be used to determine how much you should sell your house.
EXPLANATION: A house is evaluated by the contents which were used to build it. For instance a house built with a bricks can not be of the same value with a wood or block house, even though they have the same pattern.
Because the data does not show the values of the contents of the house, which are: walls, pattern, designs, how many stirs, roof, and interior quality, it cannot be used to determine the price you should sell your house.
Also, looking at the data gotten, you can understand that this houses has been sold according to the contents that made up the building, because some old builder were sold more costlier than some new buildings, and some building with a much bigger square feet were sold in a lower price when compared to some buildings with a smaller square feet
17. A global strategy for a company would include a. Products tailored to local tastes and needs, with local sourcing. b. A standardized product available without any local responsiveness. c. Patents and copyrights that are designed to promote maximum innovation. d. All of the above.
Answer: b. A standardized product available without any local responsiveness.
Explanation:
A global strategy refers to when a company aims to expand across the globe. One of the strategies is known as Standardisation.
This is a policy where the company that hopes to expand decides that it wants to make a standard product that is the same the world over. By not making it available without local responsiveness ( differentiating it by adding local features to it), the company signals that they want their product to be the same around the world.
It is very useful to some companies such as Apple which has the iPhone around the world with no local customisation and Dominoes Pizza which aims to have their pizza taste the same the world over.
James would like to deposit enough money in a savings account to have $8,000 at the end of year 3. Assuming the investment will earn 5% compounded annually, what amount should James deposit in the savings account today
Answer:
$6910.70
Explanation:
At the end of each year, the account balance will be 1.05 times the value at the beginning of the year. Thus, at the end of year 3, the value is 1.05^3 times the original value.
$8000 = (deposit)×1.05^3
deposit = $8000/1.05^3 ≈ $6910.70
James should deposit $6910.70 today.
Is it reasonable to expect that managers can measure their social and environmental performance on the same level as they measure their financial performance with a triple bottom line?
Answer:
The correct answer is: No, it is not reasonable to expect that managers can measure their social and environmental performance on the same level as they measure their financial performance.
Explanation:
To begin with, the concept known as triple bottom line refers exactly to the measuring of the the financial, social and environemental performances from part of an organization. However, it is not posible to measure them in the same way, due to the fact that they are very different terms with different factors. Therefore that in order to measure one of them there will be an unique way of doing it that can not be copy in order to measure the other. That is why if the organization want to measure the financial performance it will look into the numbers but with the social or environmental performance it can not do that.

Rough Stuff makes 2 products: khaki shorts and khaki pants for men. Each product passes through the cutting machine area, which is the chief constraint during production. Khaki shorts take 15 minutes on the cutting machine and have a contribution margin per pair of shorts of $16. Khaki pants take 24 minutes on the cutting machine and have a contribution margin per pair of pants of $32. If it is assumed that Rough Stuff has 4,800 hours available on the cutting machine to service a minimum demand for each product of 3,000 units, how much will profits increase if 100 more hours of machine time can be obtained?
Answer:
$8,000
Explanation:
khaki shorts khaki pants
machine minutes per unit 15 24
contribution margin per unit $16 $32
CM per machine minute $1.067 $1.33
minimum demand 3,000 3,000
machine minutes required 45,000 72,000
total machine minutes available 288,000
total machine minutes remaining 171,000
production 0 7,125
total production 3,000 10,125
total contribution margin $48,000 $324,000
if 100 more machines hours are added, then production time increases by 6,000 minutes which can be used to produce 250 more khaki pants. Contribution margin will increase by 250 x $32 = $8,000
I calculated contribution margin per minute, but you could also calculate contribution margin per hour to determine which product is more profitable. Contribution margin per hour for shorts = $64, and for pants = $80. The answer will not change.

Zeke Company sells 26,900 units at $16 per unit. Variable costs are $9 per unit, and fixed costs are $38,100. The contribution margin ratio and the unit contribution margin, respectively, are
Answer:
Contribution margin ratio= 0.4375
Contribution margin= $7
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Zeke Company sells 26,900 units at $16 per unit. Variable costs are $9 per unit, and fixed costs are $38,100.

Contribution margin ratio= contribution margin/ selling price
Contribution margin ratio= 7/16
Contribution margin ratio= 0.4375

Insurance companies facilitate the transfer of risk from Multiple Choice those who have a low-risk tolerance to those with high risk-tolerance. insurance policyholders to the government. those who have a high-risk tolerance to those with low risk-tolerance. the insurance companies' owners to the insurance policyholders.
Answer:
Those who have a low-risk tolerance to those with high risk-tolerance.
Explanation:
In Insurance, risk tolerance refers to the willingness of an individual or organization to take a risk in business transactions in order to get a potentially positive reward.
Simply stated, risk tolerance in insurance is the willingness of an insured individual to increase his or her Self-Insured Retentions (SIRs) or deductibles by the insurer. For instance, the high risk associated with investments such as stocks, high-yield bonds, is often perceived by investors to be worth the higher reward such investment brings.
Insurance companies facilitate the transfer of risk from those who have a low-risk tolerance to those with high risk-tolerance. The transfer of risk in insurance refers to the process whereby an individual or entity pay premiums to an insurer for the purpose of mitigating potential losses or liabilities.
Generally, insurance companies across the globe charge millions of their customers (insured) premiums every year. This gives them the privilege of having a pool of cash which can be used to cover the cost of losses and destruction to the asset of a small fraction or percentage of its customers.
This simply means that, since insurance companies collect premium from all of their customers for losses which may or may not occur, so they can easily use this cash to compensate or indemnify for losses incurred by those having high risk.
