6. Limitations of GDP Although GDP is a reasonably good measure of a nation's output, it does not necessarily include all transactions and production for that nation. Which of the following scenarios are either not accounted for or measured inaccurately by either the income or the expenditure methods of calculating GDP for the United States? Check all that apply. The quality of goods available to consumers The costs of air and water pollution Expenditures on federal highways The value of babysitting services, when the babysitter is paid in cash and the transaction isn't reported to the government When a U.S. company purchases and imports wood from Brazil to use to build new houses within the United States, this purchase increases the component of GDP while also net exports by the same amount. Therefore, the purchase of wood from Brazil causes in US GDP. g

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a.

The quality of goods available to consumers The costs of air and water pollution The value of babysitting services, when the babysitter is paid in cash and the transaction isn't reported to the government

b. investment; decreases; no overall change

Explanation:

a. GDP only measures goods that have monetary value so when a good cannot be properly quantified in terms of cash, it is difficult to account for it in GDP. Also, even if the good has monetary value for the Government was unaware of it, they will be unable to use it in the calculation of GDP.

For these reasons, the quality of goods available to consumers, the costs of air and water pollution and the value of babysitting services, when the babysitter is paid in cash and the transaction isn't reported to the government will not be a part of GDP calculation.

b. When a U.S. company purchases and imports wood from Brazil to use to build new houses within the United States, this purchase increases the investment component of GDP while also decreasing net exports by the same amount. Therefore, the purchase of wood from Brazil causes no overall change in US GDP.

Purchasing raw materials for use in production is considered Investment by GDP. However, since it was imported it will reduce Net Exports which means that the transaction would cancel itself out in the GDP calculation as it would both increase investment and decrease Net exports by the same amounts.

XYZ Corporation has a 6 1/2% convertible bond outstanding that is convertible into 40 shares of common stock. The bond is currently selling in the market at 85 ($850) and the common stock is selling at 21. The XYZ Corporation is offering its existing bondholders a new straight (nonconvertible) bond paying 6 1/2% that matures at the same time as the convertible bond. The effect of the successful completion of the proposal would be to:_________
a) Reduce interest costs
b) Reduce potential dilution
c) Have no effect on interest costs
d) Increase dilution

Answers

Answer:

b) Reduce potential dilution

c) Have no effect on interest costs

Explanation:

Since in the question it is mentioned that the corporation is offering its existing bondholders for paying 6 1/2% this matured at the same time just like the convertible bond.

So here if the proposal is completed so the impact would be reduction in the potential dilution also it would not have impact on the effect on the interest rate and the same is to be considered

Answers

Answer:

Marketing Research Process

The correct sequence is:

1. defining the problem, analyzing the situation, getting problem-specific data, interpreting the data, solving the problem

Explanation:

A good market research process requires a clear definition of the research problem.  This definition is required to focus the research efforts on the identified problem.

Secondly, the situation must be analyzed to enable the development of a good marketing  plan, which is the fulcrum of the research.

The third stage is the collection of relevant data that are problem-specific because only relevant data can solve the research questions.

At the fourth stage, the carefully selected and collected data are then analyzed and interpreted in order to create understanding of the issues and help point to solutions based on findings.

Finally, the need to put the identified solutions into action becomes imperative.  Information discovered during the research must be put into action to resolve the problem.

Meyer & Smith is a full-service technology company. They provide equipment, installation services as well as training. Customers can purchase any product or service separately or as a bundled package. Container Corporation purchased computer equipment, installation and training for a total cost of $144,000 on March 15, 2021. Estimated standalone fair values of the equipment, installation, and training are $90,000, $60,000, and $30,000 respectively. Determine The transaction price allocated to equipment is The transaction price allocated to installation is The transaction price allocated to training is Express your answer as an integer without $ sign (Round all computations to the nearest dollar. For example, input "100,000" if your answer is $100,000.22).

Answers

Answer & Explanation:

If the services were sold separately, their total cost would be;

= 90,000 + 60,000 + 30,000

= $180,000

They were instead bundled together and sold for $144,000

The cost of the individual services will therefore be a proportion of this bundled price based on their proportion were they sold alone.

The transaction price allocated to equipment;

= (90,000/180,000) * 144,000

= $72,000

The transaction price allocated to installation;

= (60,000/180,000) * 144,000

= $48,000

The transaction price allocated to training;

= (30,000/180,000) * 144,000

= $24,000

An American currency dealer has good credit and can borrow either $1,000,000 or €800,000 for one year. The one-year interest rate is i$ = 2% in the U.S. and i€ = 6% in the euro zone, respectively. The spot exchange rate is $1.25 = €1.00 and the one-year forward exchange rate is $1.20 = €1.00. Show how you can realize a certain dollar profit via covered interest arbitrage.

a. Borrow $1,000,000 at 2%; trade $1,000,000 for €800,000 at the spot rate; invest euros at i€= 6%;translate euro proceeds back to dollars at the forward rate of $1.20 = €1.00. Gross proceeds will be $1,017,600.
b. Borrow $1,000,000 at 2%; trade $1,000,000 for €800,000 at the spot rate; invest euros at i€= 6%;translate euro proceeds back to dollars at the forward rate of $1.20 = €1.00. Net profit will be $17,600.
c. Borrow €800,000 at i€= 6%;translate euros to dollars at the spot rate, invest dollars in the U.S. at i$ = 2% for one year; translate dollars back to €850,000 at the forward rate of $1.20 = €1.00. Net profit will be €2,000.
d. Borrow €800,000 at i€= 6%;translate euros to dollars at the spot rate, invest dollars in the U.S. at i$ = 2% for one year; translate dollars back to €848,000 at the forward rate of $1.20 = €1.00. Net profit will be $2,400.

Answers

Answer:

c. Borrow €800,000 at i€= 6%;translate euros to dollars at the spot rate, invest dollars in the U.S. at i$ = 2% for one year; translate dollars back to €850,000 at the forward rate of $1.20 = €1.00. Net profit will be €2,000.

Explanation:

borrow 800,000€ today and purchase $1,000,000

invest the $1,000,000 and get $1,020,000 in one year

purchase back $1,020,000 / $1.20 = 850,000€

pay your loan resulting in a = 850,000€  - (800,000€ x 1.06) = 850,000€  - 848,000€ = 2,000€ gain

if you borrow $1,000,000 and purchase 800,000€

invest 800,000€ and get 848,000€ in one year

purchase back 848,000€ x 1.2 = $1,017,600

pay your loan back = $1,017,600 - ($1,000,000 x 1.02%) = $1,017,600 - $1,020,000 = -$2,400 loss

Hudek Inc., a manufacturing Corporation, has provided the following data for the month of July. The balance in the Work in Process inventory account was $20,000 at the beginning of the month and $10,000 at the end of the month. During the month, the Corporation incurred direct materials cost of $50,000 and direct labor cost of $22,000. The actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred was $58,000. The manufacturing overhead cost applied to Work in Process was $56,000. The cost of goods manufactured for July was:

Answers

Answer:

$138,000

Explanation:

The computation of cost of goods manufactured for July is shown below:-

Cost of goods manufactured for July = Opening work in progress + Direct material + Direct labor + Manufacturing cost - Closing work in progress

= $20,000 + $50,000 + $22,000 + $56,000 - $10,000

= $148,000 - $10,000

= $138,000

Therefore for computing the cost of goods manufactured for July we simply applied the formula.

X Manufacturing uses a normal cost system and had the following data available for 20x8: Direct materials purchased on account $148,000 Direct materials requisitioned 98,000 Direct labor cost incurred 127,000 Factory overhead budgeted 155760 Factory overhead incurred 137,800 Cost of goods sold 260,000 Beginning direct materials inventory 34,000 Beginning WIP inventory 70,000 Beginning finished goods inventory 55,000 Ending finished goods inventory 104,000 Overhead application rate, as a percent of direct-labor costs 118% Round your answers to the nearest dollar. Fill in the blank without $ or comma or period, e.g., 12345 What is the adjusted cost of goods sold assuming the over/under applied overhead is immaterial?

Answers

Answer:

Adjusted cost of goods sold = $247,940

Explanation:

Under / Over-applied overhead = Factory overhead incurred - Factory overhead applied

Under / Over-applied overhead = Factory overhead incurred - (Direct labor cost*Overhead application rate)

= $137,800 - ($127,000*118%)

Over-applied overhead = $137,800 - $149,860

Over-applied overhead = ($12,060)

Adjusted cost of goods sold = Unadjusted cost of goods sold - Over-applied overhead

Adjusted cost of goods sold = $260,000 - $12,060

Adjusted cost of goods sold = $247,940

Assume you transfer the $6,500 balance from your existing credit card and make no subsequent payments. How much interest will you owe at the end of the first year? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

Total interest paid = $606.63

Explanation:

First calculate the monthly payment for first six months

Monthly interest for first 6 months =.006/12=.0005

= 6500*(1.0005)^6

=6519.52

Interest rate for next six months

=17.37%/12=1.45%

(1.0145)^6=1.090054

=6519.52*(1+.0145)^6

=7106.63

Total interest paid = 7106.63-6500  

Total interest paid = 606.63

Economic Order Quantity computes:

A: Cost of an order

B: Re-order level

C: Cost of stock

D: Optimum Order size​

Answers

Answer:

D: Optimum Order size​

Explanation:

Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is a formula applied in logistic and supply chain management to calculate a business's ideal order size. As the name suggests, the order EOQ provides an order quantity that makes economic sense.

Economies of scale suggest that a bigger order size is better because the business will save transport costs. However, ordering in large quantities increases the cost of holding stock. The economic order quantity strikes a balance between these two important factors.

A father and mother are planning a savings program to put their daughter through college. Their daughter is now 8 years old. She plans to enroll at the university when she is 18 and it should take her 4 years to complete her education. Currently, the cost per year (for tuition, etc.) is $16,200, but a 2 percent inflation rate in these costs is forecasted. The cost for each year of college will be withdrawn when she turns 18, 19, 20, and 21. The daughter received $13,000 at age 4 and another $2,900 at age 6 from her grandmother; this money, which is invested in an account earning 7.5 percent interest compounded annually, will be used to help meet the costs of the daughter's education. The rest of the costs will be met by money the parents will deposit in the savings account. They will make 4 equal annual deposits to the account, with the first deposit being made today on her 8th birthday and the last one being made on her 11th birthday. These deposits will also earn 7.5 percent interest compounded annually. How large must each deposit (from the parents) be in order to put the daughter through college

Answers

Answer:

$4,102.57

Explanation:

we must first calculate the future costs of college:

cost of college year 1 = $16,200 x (1 + 2%)¹⁰ = $19,747.71

cost of college year 2 = $19,747.71 x 1.02 = $20,142.66

cost of college year 3 = $20,142.66 x 1.02 = $20,545.51

cost of college year 4 = $20,545.51 x 1.02 = $20,956.42

in order to determine how much money does the family need to have before college starts we must discount the cost of college by 7.5%:

PV cost of college year 1 = $19,747.71

PV cost of college year 2 = 20,142.66 / 1.075 = $18,737.36

PV cost of college year 3 = $20,545.51  / 1.075² = $17,778.70

PV cost of college year 4 = $20,956.42  / 1.075³ = $16,869.09

total = $73,132.86

the future value of the grandmother's deposits:

$13,000 x (1 + 7.5%)¹⁴ = $35,781.77

$2,900 x (1 + 7.5%)¹² = $6,907.16

total = $42,688.93

that means that you will need to save $73,132.86 - $42,688.93 = $30,443.93 by the time your child turns 18

you will make 4 deposits and their future value will be:

deposit x 1.075¹⁰ = 2.0610D

deposit x 1.075⁹ = 1.9172D

deposit x 1.075⁸ = 1.7835D

deposit x 1.075⁷ = 1.6590D

total = 7.4207D

yearly deposit = $30,443.93 / 7.4207 = $4,102.57

If the interest rate is 5%, what is the present value of the sales price if you also earned $200,000 in rental income each year? _______________________________________________(4 pts)

Answers

Answer:

a. Present value = $3,731,076.98

It is not a good investment because the present value of the sales price is less than the purchase price of the property. This means that purchasing the property would be unprofitable.

c. Present value = $4,746,215.40

Explanation:

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

a. Cash flow each year from year 1 to 5 = 0

Cash flow in year 6 = $5,000,000

I = 5%

Present value = $3,731,076.98

It is not a good investment because the present value of the sales price is less than the purchase price of the property. This means that purchasing the property would be unprofitable.

c. Cash flow each year from year 1 to 5 = $200,000

cash flow in year 6 = $200,000 + $5,000,000 = $5,200,000

I = 5%

Present value = $4,746,215.40

To find the PV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

Leo Consulting enters into a contract with Highgate University to restructure Highgate’s processes for purchasing goods from suppliers. The contract states that Leo will earn a fixed fee of $25,000 and earn an additional $10,000 if Highgate achieves $100,000 of cost savings. Leo estimates a 50% chance that Highgate will achieve $100,000 of cost savings. Assuming that Leo determines the transaction price as the expected value of expected consideration, what transaction price will Leo estimate for this contract?

Answers

Answer:

The transaction price would Leo estimated for this contract is $30,000

Explanation:

The computation of the transaction price is shown below:

= (Fixed fee + additional amount) × chance + fixed fee × chance

= $35,000 × 50% + $25,000 × 50%

= $17,500 + $12,500

= $30,000

hence, the transaction price would Leo estimated for this contract is $30,000

Charles Lackey operates a bakery in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Because of its excellent product and excellent location, demand has increased by 25% in the last year. On far too many occasions, customers have not been able to purchase the bread of their choice. Because of the size of the store, no new ovens can be added. As a staff meeting, one employee suggested ways to load the ovens differently so that more loaves of bread can be baked at one time. This new process will require that the ovens be loaded by hand, requiring additional manpower. This is the only thing to be changed. The bakery makes 1,500 loaves per month with a labor productivity of 2.344 loaves per labor-hour, how many workers will lackey need to add?

Answers

Answer:

It would take is one worker to finish it. The further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

The given value are:

Complete loaves for every hour of labor  

= 2.244

Each employee who works every month.  

= 160 hours

Monthly output of one worker will be:

= [tex]Total \ loaves\times Total \ hours[/tex]

= [tex]2.344\times 160[/tex]

= [tex]375.04 \ loaves[/tex]

The increased competition, as we know, seems to be "25%" of 1,500 loaves every month.

= [tex]1500\times 25 \ percent[/tex]

= [tex]375[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{375}{375.04}[/tex]

= [tex]0.99[/tex]

Throughout preparation around for job to be completed, Lackely would need to employ another worker although one worker's monthly output is equivalent to 375.04 loaves as well as the minimum additional loaves every month becomes 375, so what it would take is one worker to finish it.

June 1 Beginning inventory 17 units at $15 each June  12  Purchase 5 units at $19 each June 20 Sale 14 units at $37 each  = $518June 24 Purchase 11 units at $23 each June 29 Sale 13 units at $37 each = $481

Cost of goods sold under FIFO (first in, first out):

June 20 sale = 14 units x $15 = $210

Inventory on hand:

June 1 Beginning inventory 3 units at $15 each June  12  Purchase 5 units at $19 each

June 29 sale = (3 units x $15) + (5 units x $19) + (5 units x $23) = $255

Inventory on hand:

June 24 Purchase 6 units at $23 each

Total COGS = $465

Ending inventory = $138

Gross profit = ($518 + $481) - $465 = $534

Cost of goods sold under LIFO (last in, first out):

June 20 sale = (5 units x $19) + (9 units x $15) = $230

Inventory on hand:

June 1 Beginning inventory 8 units at $15 each

June 29 sale = (11 units x $23) + (2 units x $15) = $283

Inventory on hand:

June 1 Beginning inventory 6 units at $15 each

Total COGS = $513

Ending inventory = $90

Gross profit = ($518 + $481) - $513 = $486

As organizations expand into global markets, business communicators need to become aware of their own culture and how it differs from other cultures. Cultural awareness allows professionals to communicate successfully with other cultures and to navigate the intercultural challenges of a globalized business world. The first step in overcoming intercultural obstacles is understanding the trends that drive globalization.
Identify the trend illustrated by the following example.
A U.S. retailer of high-tech products looks to open stores in Russia where there has been a surge in demand for smartphones and tablet computers.
A) Favorable trade agreements
B) Robust middle-class growth
C) Transportation advancements

Answers

Answer:

Option C (Robust middle-class growth) seems to be the correct option.

Explanation:

We will construct a convincing hypothesis of middle-class development by culling through canonical academics as well as contemporary scholars. Stable demand, confidence, political stability, and a collection of respectable, forward-looking liberal as well as proto-capitalist practices are the main structures of middle-class-led growth.  

Some other possibilities given weren’t connected to the instance given. So, the solution here is the best one.

Use the following information to answer the question below:
Acquirer purchases 100% of target by issuing $100 million in new debt to purchase target shares, carrying an interest rate of 10%
Excess cash is used to help pay for the acquisition
Acquirer expects to be able to close down several of the target company’s old manufacturing facilities and save an estimated $2 million in the first year
Target PP&E is written up by $25 million to fair market value
Investment bankers, accountants, and consultants on the deal earned $30 million in fees
Which of the following adjustments would be made to the pro forma income statement?
a) Advisory fee expense of $30 million
b) Depreciation expense increase due to PP&E write-up
c) Pre-tax synergies of $2 million
d) All of the above

Answers

Answer:

d) All of the above

Explanation:

Pro forma income statements are basically estimated or expected income statements which do not necessarily comply with US GAAP norms (are not useful in legal terms), but should reflect future outcomes.

In this case, Acquirer didn't simply decide to purchase Target and carried the operation immediately. The process is long and complicated and many times companies negotiate fair values and future cash flows. If you analyze the acquisition process of Whole Foods by Amazon it is very interesting. After negotiations Amazon paid 4 times the capitalization value of Whole Foods.

Before the actual process ends, Acquirer should present a pro forma statement and it must include all the relevant issues about the merger. They already know how much the transaction will cost, what actions will be taken to increase profits and any other major event.

Spaceley’s Sprockets has just developed a new product. George Jetson, the Head of Product Development, feels that the product is a winner, but he also feels it would be an even better product if waited six more months for further development before launching. Unfortunately, Spaceley’s closest competitor, Cogsley Cogs, has a similar product in the development pipeline. George feels that if he launches the product now to get a head start on Cogsley, he has a 50% chance of achieving a high level of sales, a 30% chance of a medium level of sales, and a 20% chance of a low level of sales. If he waits, he has a 30% chance of a high level of sales, and a 70% chance of a medium level of sales, with no chance of a low level of sales. High sales represents 100,000 units, medium sales represents 65,000 units, and low sales represents 10,000 units. If his objective is to maximize his expected number of units sold, what should George do and how many units would he be expected to sell

Answers

Answer:

George should  wait for six more months for further development before launching.

Total units expected to be sold by this time is 75500 units

Explanation:

when launched early

Spaceley has : 50% of high level sale, 30% chance of medium level sale

20% chance of low level sale

When launched late

Spaceley has : 30% of high level sale, 70% of medium level sale, o% of low level sale

while

High sales = 100000

Medium sale = 65000

low level sale = 10000

A) when launched early

50% * 100000 = 50000

30% * 65000 =   19500

20% * 10000 =   2000  

Total sales = 71500 units

B) when launched  after 6 months

30% * 100000 = 30000

70% * 65000 =  45500

Total sales = 75500 units

George should  wait for six more months for further development before launching.

Total units expected to be sold by this time is 75500 units

Answers

Answer:

Following are the solution to the given point:

Explanation:

In point a:

Sum of:

= ($89,000 + $3,000)

= $92,000  

Modified foundation= -$80,000  

A real profit= $12,000  

Gain (boot received) recognised = $3,000  

Tanya's West Coast Changed Base:  

Fair Market  = $89,000  

Posted benefit:

= ($ 12,000- $ 3,000)

=  $ 9,000  

Adjusted Base =$80,000  

In part b:

Realized benefit calculation:  

Sum of =  $92,000

Modified Base =$72,000 + $3,000 = $75,000  

A real profit= $17,000    

gain was accepted = $0  

Changed base of Martin to the West Coast:  

Fair Market = $92,000  

Gain deferred  = ($17,000-$0) = $ 17,000  

Adjusted Base  = $75,000

In point c:

Recognized benefit from Martin:  

Value = $1,20,000  

Base adjusted= $ 75,000  

actual gain = $45,000  

Gain  Recognized= $45,000

In point d:

Tanya has little effect mostly on selling by Lisa of an eastern seaboard ground. There is no supposed selling care among Lauren and Tanya after selling property on the eastern seaboard since they are unrelated parties.

In point e:

sum of = $92,000.

Tanya 's acceptable basis is $80,000 ($89,000-($12,000-$3,000)).

actual benefit = $ 12,000  

gain benefit = $3,000  

Since the trade is deemed a non-taxable trade, $3,000 is recognized of the total $12,000 benefit. Its ground earned is $80,000 adjusted.
