Answer:
C. Demand for emergency care is relatively inelastic.
D. Supply of health care is limited.
E. Many people use Medicare and Medicaid.
Explanation:
The Law of Supply posits that when there is a low supply of a good relative to its demand, the price will be higher because the good will be more scarce therefore people will have to pay more to get it. This is why in a situation where the supply of Health Care is limited, the price of health care will be high.
The law of demand states that when there are a lot of people demanding a good relative to its supply, the price of the good will be high because again, the good is now more scarce. When many people are using Medicare and Medicaid, there are more people able to afford health care meaning that demand is increased. This will increase the price of health care.
When a good's demand is said to be inelastic, it means that when prices change, the change in demand is less than the change in price. Prices of such goods will not have the incentive to remain low and will generally rise because the demand will not change by much. If demand for emergency care is relatively inelastic, the price will rise because demand will not change by much.
Typically, low inflation is a sign of a healthy economy because it results from a steady rise in demand. a healthy economy because it results from a steady rise in supply. a struggling economy because it results from a steady fall in demand. a struggling economy because it results from a steady fall in supply.
Inflation is a general progressive increase in the price of goods and services in an economy. Hence each unit of currency buys fewer units of goods and services.
A healthy economy is one that has a steady rise in demand and supply. Inflation is the steady rise in prices over a time period and if you have taken a loan, and income is fixed it can lead to problems.Hence the option A is correct.

Bill currently uses his entire budget to purchase 5 cans of Pepsi and 3 hamburgers per week. The price of Pepsi is $1 per can, the price of a hamburger is $2, Bill's marginal utility from Pepsi is 4, and his marginal utility from hamburgers is 6. Bill could increase his utility by:
Answer:
INCREASE the consumption of Pepsi and REDUCE the consumption of Hamburger
Explanation:
Based on the information given we were told that Bill uses his whole budget to purchase the following :
5 cans of Pepsi
3 Hamburgers per week
And the following were the price:
Pepsi costs $1 per can
Hamburger cost $2
Bill marginal utility:
Pepsi 4
Hamburgers 6
Based on the above details this means that Bill could increase his utility by INCREASING Pepsi consumption and REDUCING hamburger consumption reason been that 5 cans of Pepsi costs $1 per can which will gives us income of $5 ($5×1) while 3 Hamburgers per week cost $2 which will give us income of $6 ($3×2) which typically means that the Hamburgers has more income that Pepsi.
Secondly since the marginal utility for Pepsi is 4 while that of Hamburgers is 6 which means that Hamburgers has higher MARGINAL UTILITY than that of Pepsi because the consumption of Hamburgers is higher than the consumption of Pepsi.
Therefore the best thing that Bill could do in order to increase his Pepsi utility is for Bill to increase Pepsi consumption and reduce hamburger consumption.

Tammy, a resident of Virginia, is considering whether to purchase a North Carolina bond, face amount $100,000, that yields 4.6% before tax. She is in the 35% Federal marginal tax bracket and the 5% state marginal tax bracket. Tammy is aware that State of Virginia bonds of comparable risk are yielding 4.5%. Virginia bonds are exempt from Virginia tax, but the North Carolina bond interest is taxable in Virginia. Which of the two options will provide the greater after-tax return to Tammy? Tammy can deduct all state taxes paid on her Federal income tax return
Answer:
It should purchase the Virginia Bonds.
Explanation:
As the bonds are from another State they will be subject to taxation from both, the state and the Federal Government:
We comparethe after-tax yields:
North Carolina
0.046 x (1 - 0.40) = 0.0276 = 2.76% after-tax
Virginia
0.045 x (1 - 0.35) = 0,02925 = 2.925% after-tax
As the bond within the state provides a better yields Tammy should purchase there.

Gil is a Baxley Co. salesman desperate to make quota by the end of year 3. On the afternoon of December 31, year 3, he convinces a longtime customer with excellent credit to sign a contract to accept delivery of Baxley Co.’s Widgetron Deluxe. Gil promises the customer a deep discount off the list price that they can ‘hash out later’ if the customer is 100% happy with the product. Gil does not tell the customer that the company’s policy in such cases is to offer the maximum discount of 30%. The customer states he will have to consult an astrologer and a groundhog to determine if he is happy with the product. Gil oversees the delivery that evening of the Widgetron Deluxe. Should the revenue from this sale be recognized in year 3? Why or why not?
Answer:
No, the revenue should not be recognized in year 3.
Explanation:
In this case, the client has a right to return the Widgetron Deluxe (the product sold). Apparently the client isn't even convinced that he wants to buy it and consulting an astrologer and a groundhog on whether he should keep it or not is not something normal. Gil didn't even tell the customer the price of the Widgetron Deluxe which makes things even more messy.
Revenue from this specific sale should only be recognized after the right to return expires or both the groundhog and the astrologer are happy with it.

The owner of a bicycle repair shop forecasts revenues of $212,000 a year. Variable costs will be $63,000, and rental costs for the shop are $43,000 a year. Depreciation on the repair tools will be $23,000. a. Prepare an income statement for the shop based on these estimates. The tax rate is 20%. b. Calculate the operating cash flow for the repair shop using the three methods given below: Now calculate the operating cash flow. Dollars in minus dollars out. Adjusted accounting profits. Add back depreciation tax shield.
Answer:
Sales Revenue 212,000
Variable Cost (63,000)
Rent Expense (43,000)
Depreciation Expense (23,000)
Income before taxes 83,000
Income tax expense (16,600)
Net Income 84,800
Cash from operating activities 107,800
tax-shield from depreciation 4,600
Explanation:
Cash flow from operations (indirect method)
net income 84,800 + depreciation expense = 107,800
The depreciation provides a tax shield as they are an accounting concept. The depreciation expense did not involve the outflow of cash but, it is a taxable deduction therefore generates a tax-shield.
23,000 x 20% = 4,600

Use the following information to answer the next 6 questions. Suppose you have $1000 side money. You have two options: spend this money today, or save it for the future. You are offered the following investment opportunity that if you lend the $1000 out today, you will receive $1200 dollars one year later. You think this is a good deal, accept it, and lend your money out. To keep a track of the price level, you check the Bureau of Labor Statistics webpage, and find that the CPI for today is 100. Your nominal interest rate from this investment is
Answer:
20%
Explanation:
The nominal interest rate is the interest rate that you receive for a deposit or an investment without considering any type of adjustment due to inflation.
nominal interest rate = [(future value / present value) - 1] x 100 = [($1,200 / $1,000) - 1] x 100 = 0.2 x 100 = 20%
If you want to calculate the real interest rate, you must adjust your nominal interest rate by the period's inflation rate.

Asset management ratios are used to measure how effectively a firm manages its assets, by relating the amount a firm has invested in a particular type of asset (or group of assets) to the amount of revenues the asset is generating. Examples of asset management ratios include the average collection period (also called the days sales outstanding ratio), the inventory turnover ratio, the fixed asset turnover ratio, and the total asset turnover ratio. Consider the following case: Polk Software Inc. has a quick ratio of 2.00x, $32,850 in cash, $18,250 in accounts receivable, some inventory, total current assets of $73,000, and total current liabilities of $25,550. The company reported annual sales of $100,000 in the most recent annual report. Over the past year, how often did Polk Software Inc. sell and replace its inventory
Answer:
Over the Past year the Polk Software Inc sold and replaced its inventory at 4.57x(times)
Explanation:
Value of inventory = Total current assets - Cash - Account receivable
Value of inventory = 73,000 - 32,850 - 18,250
Value of inventory = $21,900
Inventory turnover ratio = Sales/ Inventory
Inventory turnover ratio= $100,000 / $21,900
Inventory turnover ratio= 4.57 times
Over the Past year the Polk Software Inc sold and replaced its inventory at 4.57x(times)
Which of these Nonforfeiture Options continue a build-up of cash value?a. Waiver of Premiumb. Extended Termc. Reduced Paid-Upd. Cash Surrender
Answer:
Reduced Paid-Up
Explanation:
Nonforfeiture provision in insurance allows for a partial or full refund of premiums paid in case of non payment by the client over a period of time.
Refunds are made before the policy expires.
Reduced Paid-Up option allows the original death benefit to remain without future payments of premiums.
So when there is non payment of premiums over time the original amount going to the beneficiary remains and increases in value
The following amounts were reported by Howe Company before adjusting its immaterial overapplied manufacturing overhead of $16,000. Raw Materials Inventory $80,000 Finished Goods Inventory $120,000 Work in Process Inventory $200,000 Cost of Goods Sold $1,460,000. What is the amount Howe will report as cost of goods sold after it disposes of its overapplied overhead
Answer:
$1,444,000
Explanation:
Given the data as seen below,
Over applied manufacturing overhead = $16,000
Raw materials inventory= $80,000
Finished goods inventory = $120,000
Work in process inventory = $200,000
Cost of goods sold = $1,460,000
Therefore, the amount Howe will report as cost of goods sold after it disposes off its overhead applied will be;
= Cost of goods sold - over applied manufacturing overhead
= $1,460,000 - $16,000
= $1,444,000
