Assume that both labor and capital exhibit diminishing returns. Suppose you can hire an additional unit of labor for $10, and she can product 50 units. You could also buy an additional machine at the cost of $200, and that machine would allow you to produce 1000 units.
If your main concern is minimizing average cost, what should you do?
a) Buy the machine, because it will allow you to produce more
b) Nothing, because you are already minimizing cost
c) There is not enough information to make a legitimate response
d) Hire more labor, because it is cheaper

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

b) Nothing, because you are already minimizing cost

Explanation:

cost of producing one additional unit by hiring more workers = $10 / 50 units = $0.20 per unit

cost of producing one additional unit by buying the machine = $200 / 1,000 units = $0.20 per unit

Since labor exhibits a diminishing return, the next unit of labor will produce less than 50 units. This means that if you want to increase production, you should buy the machine.

Using the same logic, the previous units of labor were able to produce more than 50 units, which means that the average total cost was lower using labor than the machine. So if the company's concern is to minimize costs, then they are already doing so.

Brothern Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on the estimated machine-hours for the upcoming year. Data for the most recently completed year appear below: Estimates made at the beginning of the year: Estimated machine-hours 40,600 Estimated variable manufacturing overhead $ 6.54 per machine-hour Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead $ 944,762 Actual machine-hours for the year 36,700 The predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year was closest to:

Answers

Answer:

The predetermined overhead rate is 29.81 per machine hour

Explanation:

Fixed predetermine overhead rate = Estimated fixed manufacturing overhead / Estimated machine hour

Fixed predetermine overhead rate = $944,762 / 40,600

Fixed predetermine overhead rate = $23.27 per machine hour

Total predetermine overhead rate = Fixed predetermine overhead rate + Estimated variable manufacturing overhead

= $23.27 + $6.54

= 29.81 per machine hour

You write a call option on Google. The current price of one share of Google is $400, the option strike price is $410, and the option premium is $5 (all prices are per share). On the expiration day, the price of Google is $425. The following statement is true:
A) The call is in the money
B) your payoff is negative
C) your payoff is positive and equal to 10
D) A and B
E) A and C

Answers

Answer: E) A and C

Explanation:

A Call option is an option to buy a security at a certain price in future. The option is only exercised if the market price of the security is higher than the option price of the security. When this happens the Call is said to be in the money. On expiration day, the price of Google is $425 which is higher than the option price of $410 so the Call is in the money. Option A is correct.

The option premium is the amount paid for the option contract and so is an expense. Payoff is calculated as;

= Market Value - (Option Price + Option premium)

= 425 - ( 410 + 5)

= $10

Option C is correct as well.

Paragon Properties built a shopping center at a cost of $50M in year 2010. The company started leasing space in July of 2014. The land was purchased for $5M. Determine the depreciation charges through 2017 if the property was sold in November 2017.

Answers

Year = 2014  

Cost= $50 M - $5 M = $45 M

Rate =1.177%  

Depreciation= 1.177% * $45 M = $529,650

Year=2015

Cost = $45 M

Rate= 2.564%  

Depreciation= $45 M * 2.564% = $1,153,800

Year = 2016

Cost = $45 M

Rate =2.564%  

Depreciation= $45 M * 2.564% = $1,153,800

Year = 2017

Cost = $45 M

Rate =2.564%  

Depreciation= $45 M * 2.564% = $1,153,800

therefore, total depreciation= $1,153,800 + $1,153,800 + $1,153,800 + $529,650 = $3,991,050

Depreciation charges through 2017 = $3,991,050 .

The Depreciation charges through 2017, if property was sold in November 2017 will be $3,991,050.

Depreciation

In the following question we are provided with information as follows:

The Value of the Property in the year 2010 = $50M. The Company started leasing space in July of 2014.

Land was purchased for $5M, which means the Cost of property is now $50M - $5M = $45M. The Depreciation rate in 2014 is 1.17%,

Depreciation value in 2014 = $45M × 1.17 =Depreciation rate in 2016 = 2.5%, Depreciation value = $45M × 2.5% =  $529,650

Depreciation rate in 2015 = 2.5%, which give Depreciation value in 2015 = $45M × 2.5% =  $1,153,800.

Depreciation rate in 2016 = 2.5%, Depreciation value = $45M × 2.5% =  $1,153,800.

Depreciation rate in 2017 = 2.5%, Depreciation value = $45M × 2.5% =  $1,153,800.

Therefore, Total Depreciation value in 2017 =  $529,650 + $1,153,800 + $1,153,800 + $1,153,800  = $3,991,050

You want to have $12,500 in 10 years for a dream vacation. If you can earn an interest rate of .3 percent per month, how much will you have to deposit today?

Answers

Answer:

$8,778

Explanation:

To find the amount of money that you will have to deposit today, you have to use the formula to calculate the present value:

PV=FV/(1+i)^n

PV= present value

FV= future value= 12,500

i= interest rate= 0.003*12(to calculate the rate per year)= 0.036

n= number of periods of time= 10

PV=12,500/(1+0.036)^10

PV=12,500/1.424

PV=8,778

According to this, you will have to deposit today $8,778.

Maurer, inc.,has an odd dividend policy. The company has just paid a dividend of $2 per share and has announced that it will increase the dividend by $6 per share for each of the next five years, and then never pay another dividend. If yoy require a return of 10 percent on the company's stock, how much will you pay for a share today?

Answers

Answer:

Price of stock = $44.05

Explanation:

The price of a share can be calculated using the dividend valuation model  

According to this model the value of share is equal to the sum of the present values of its future cash dividends discounted at the required rate of return.  

To determine the price of the stock to , we calculate the present value for each of the dividend payable for the next five years and then sum them.

The formula below would help

PV = G× (1+r)^(-n)

PV = Present Value, r  required rate of return - 10%, n- the year, G- dividend payable in a particular year

Year                             PV of dividend

1            2+6 ×× 1.1^-1  = 7.27

2           10 ×   1.1^-2 = 8.26

3           12× 1.1^-3    = 9.02

4           14 × 1.1^-4   =9.56

5          16 × 1.1^-5     = 9.93

Total Present Value of dividend = 7.27 + 8.26  +9.02  +9.56  +9.93  = 44.05

Price of stock = $44.05

In 2008, the United States began to witness one of the worst recessions since the 1930s. The collapse of the housing bubble in 2006 led to a massive decline in real estate prices, affecting consumers and institutions, especially banking and financial entities. Severe liquidity shortfalls in the United States as well as other global markets led to a serious credit crisis. During the credit crisis of 2008–2009, several banks and other businesses went through a reorganization process or were forced to liquidate. Consider the following example:________.

In the mid 1980s, what emerging product market did a major foreign competitor capitalized on and Kodak miss due to a poor understanding of the company's core competency

Answers

Answer:

Kodak missed the digital camera revolution that it started.

Explanation:

According to history, Kodak's Steve Sasson was the first to invent a digital camera prototype in 1975.

But, Kodak relied on its past successes to the extent that it could not see beyond its shoulders.  Kodak spotted digital technology opportunity in its business, but it lacked the foresight to sharpen its core competency so that it could redefine the market and its business from a film producing and selling company to one that gives consumers the opportunity to share images online.  It lacked the competency to understand the emerging needs of its customers and woefully failed to invest rightly in digital technology.

On the other hand, Fuji created new opportunities for itself that were related to its core business by branching into magnetic tape optics, videotape, copiers, and office automation.  As a result, it overtook Kodak in market share while Kodak submerged into bankruptcy, from which it later emerged stronger better than it was before the bankruptcy but smaller.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The cost of the machine was $29,000. Its estimated residual value was $9,000 at the end of estimated 5-year life.

To calculate the depreciation expense, we need to use the following formula:

Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

Annual depreciation= (29,000 - 9,000)/5

Annual depreciation= $4,000

Angela has an annual contract with Stenbach Service Centre to provide property maintenance services; this includes lawn care, snow removal and parking lot maintenance. Angela spends, on average, 20 hours per week working at the company’s premises and is paid a flat amount monthly. She hires part-time workers, when necessary, to assist her. Angela does not have any other clients.

Angela uses her own small tools; however the company supplies and maintains a riding lawn mower and a snow plow for her use. Her contact at the company is Chris Moore, the Facilities Manager, who meets with her every Monday to discuss the work to be done that week. Chris approves Angela’s monthly invoices and submits them to Accounts Payable.

Does Angela have a contract of service or a contract for service with Stenbach Service Centre As the company’s Payroll Supervisor, explain to Chris the process and factors you used to make your decision.

Answers

Answer:

Angela and Stenbach Service Centre

Contract for Service and Contract of Service:

1. Angela has a contract for service.

2. Factors used to decide whether a contract is for service or of service:

a) Employment terms are slightly different from business contract terms.

b) Employees are paid Wages and Salaries, while contractors are paid fees.

c) Employees do not submit monthly invoices for payment, but contractors do.

d) Angela fills tax forms for herself and remits the taxes, so she is self-accounting with respect to her income taxes, unless withholding taxes like Sales taxes.  An employee's income tax is deducted from her salary before payment and the company remits the taxes to the IRS.

Explanation:

The agreement between Angela, a self-employed individual, and Stenbach Service Centre is a contract for service.   A contract of service is an employment contract between Stenbach Service Centre, the employer, and the Payables Supervisor, an employee, for example.  Essentially, Angela can be described as an outsourcer for services vendor or service provider to Stenbach Service Centre, an outsourcer of service company.  Angela is engaged for a fee to carry out property maintenance services, including lawn care, snow removal, and parking lot maintenance.  She is an independent contractor with Stenbach.  She does not need to work on any day and she can subcontract her work by hiring others to help her discharge the service.  An employee, like Chris, cannot hire another person to discharge his responsibilities and must work on designed days.

Another important difference is that Angela submits monthly invoices for actual work done.  An employee does not have to submit an invoice in order to be paid for work done.  Angela's invoices will not be of the same amount from one month to the other, unlike Chris' whose salary pay sheet may be static in amount from month to month.

Answer:

-value of all goods and services produced in the economy this year

-this year's prices

-value of all goods and services produced in the economy this year

-the base year's prices

-bought by consumers

-the first scenario would have effect on the GDP deflator

-the second scenario would have effect on the GDP deflator

Explanation:

The GDP deflator is used in measuring inflation in the economy by measuring changes in prices of goods in the economy. It is used together with other indices such as consumer price index in arriving at a more accurate or balanced measurement of inflation I'm the economy. The GDP deflator would be affected above because it is more comprehensive in it's calculation or measurement as it doesn't take into account only a basket of goods and services like the Consumer price index does

Dorpac Corporation has a dividend yield of 1.3 %1.3%. Its equity cost of capital is 7.4 %7.4%​, and its dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate. a. What is the expected growth rate of​ Dorpac's dividends? b. What is the expected growth rate of​ Dorpac's share​ price?

Answers

Answer:

(A) 6.1%

(B) 6.1%

Explanation:

Dorpac corporation has a dividend yield of 1.3%

Its equity cost of capital is 7.4%

(a) The expected growth rate of Dorpac dividend can be calculated as follows

= Equity cost of capital-Dividend yield

= 7.4%-1.3%

= 6.1%

(b) Since the dividend is expected to grow at a constant growth rate then, the expected growth rate of Dorpac's share price is 6.1%

Mary buys an annuity that promises to pay her $1,500 at the end of each of the next 20 years. The appropriate interest rate is 7.5%. What is the value of this 20-year annuity today?

Answers

Answer:

PV= $15,291.74

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Annual cash flow= $1,5000

Number of years= 20

Interest rate= 7.5%

To calculate the present value, first, we need to determine the future value using the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual cash flow

FV= {1,500*[(1.075^20) - 1]} / 0.075

FV= $64,957.02

Now, we can calculate the present value:

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

PV= 64,957.02/(1.075^20)

PV= $15,291.74

If Takeoff withdraws a $100 bill from his checking account and Quavo deposits another $100 bill in his saving account how much will M1 and M2 change

Answers

Answer:

M2 Will be unchanged

while M1 will decrease by $100

Explanation:

M1 will be the cash and coins + checking account + traveler check (it is consideread near-money)

Takeoff Transactions is whitin the M1  metric. Quavo transactions is not included thus, M1 decrease by 100

While M2 includes M1 and it adds the saving deposits thereofre, Quavo operation is included in this concept so we get:

-200 from takoff + 100 from Quavo = zero

No change arise from the combination of this transactions.

                                                      Expense             Expense

1. Suppose the Kenyan shilling (KS) is currently traded at KS 1.4/$.The Ethiopian Birr (EB) is traded at E B1.39/$.Ignoring transaction costs: A. Determine the KS/EB exchange rate consistent with these direct quotations

Answers

Answer:

The answer is KS 1.01/EB.

Explanation:

This is an example of a cross rate.

Cross rate refers to an exchange rate between two currencies that is calculated based on the exchange rate of each of the two currencies to a third currency.

For this question, the cross rate KS/EB will be estimated by reference the US dollar which is third currency. This can be calculated by simply dividing the KS 1.4/$ by the E B1.39/$ as follows:

KS/EB = 1.4 / 1.39 = 1.01

That is, the answer is KS 1.01/EB.

Estos zapatos se llaman ________. los huaraches los zarapes los elotes las vicuas This is not a make-believe world in a science fiction novel. It's a 46,000 square mile nation hanging off the east coast of China. It is one of the poorest nations in the world and it is armed with nuclear weapons. It is North Korea. Immediately to the south lies a nation with one of the world's richest economies. About one-third of all phones and TVs are made here. The people of this nation are among the world's most educated. Unemployment is low, job security is high, and workers in this nation enjoy the highest salaries in Asia. It is South Korea. The people of this nation share origins with their northern neighbor, but they have since grown far apart. The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (known to Westerners as North Korea) was founded in 1945 after World War II. Their neighbor at the end of the Korean Peninsula, South Korea or the Republic of Korea, was established at the same time. These two nations have an unusual history. For one thing, they have technically been at war since 1950. Though they were born at the same time, these two countries had different parents. The United States supported South Korea in its infancy. China and the Soviet Union supported North Korea. The U.S. and the Soviet Union may have ended World War II as allies, but they had different ways of organizing their societies. The U.S. is a capitalist country. That means that some people are rich and some people are poor. Resources are distributed unevenly. Business are owned by private entities. The Soviet Union claimed to have a communist system. That means that everybody supposedly gets the same. Resources are distributed more evenly. Business are owned in "common" by the government. These two superpower nations raised North and South Korea in their own images. The two Koreas went to war in 1950. The North attacked and took over much of South Korea. But the United States jumped in and pushed the North Koreans back to the Chinese border. Then China got involved and pushed the Americans and South Koreans back. The nations agreed to a ceasefire. Millions of people were dead and the living returned to their original boundaries. The war never officially ended, though combat has ceased for the most part. After the war, South Korea was one of the poorest nations in the world. In 1960 the average citizen made $79 a year. The country did not have a lot of natural resources to sell, but they did have many hardworking people. During the 1960s, the country began manufacturing labor-intensive products. Selling these products to people in other nations made South Korea rich. They now have one of the largest and most thriving economies in the world. As of 2012, the average South Korean citizen makes around $32,020 a year. The economy of North Korea is dramatically different. Since it's birth in the 1940s, North Korea has been one of the most secluded countries in the world. They promote an idea of self-reliance that they call Juche. Under this idea, they do little to no trading with other nations. Up until the 1980s, they received large cash infusions from China and the Soviet Union. But the Soviet Union fell apart in the 80s and became separate capitalist countries, of which Russia is largest. Without the Soviet contributions, North Korea entered a long period of famine that lasted through the 90s. Food was hard to come by and some estimate that millions of people starved to death. Still, the country persisted when much of the world thought that it would fall apart. Not only did they survive, they managed to build a nuclear arsenal during this time. North Korea and South Korea share a border. Since they are locked in state of perpetual war, it's not a regular boarder with a simple checkpoint. The border they share is known as a "demilitarized zone." A demilitarized zone is supposed to be free from military installations. Yet, the Korean Demilitarized Zone is the most heavily militarized border in the world. Both nations have their biggest guns lined-up on the divide and pointed at the other side. It is literally the opposite of what the phrase "demilitarized zone" implies. Some day Korea may be unified again. It seems unlikely now, but stranger things have happened. Yet, even if they did unify, how could these very different societies acclimate to one another? They have grown in different directions. One country is among the wealthiest, the other amongst the poorest. The average North Korean male is estimated to be five-inches shorter than a South Korean (some suspect because of malnutrition). With such big differences, will they ever be able to see eye to eye?::::read the passage and answer the question::;; "In what ways have the two Koreas grown apart?
