Answer:

This situation represents an example of the time-inconsistency problem because the policymakers are likely to change their minds in the future, and either impose rent control to new housing as well, or to abolish all rent control laws.

In the first situation, the policymakers would be swayed by those arguing against the policy exception for new housing, while in the latter, the policymakers would simply find out that the policy is ineffective.

Answer:

$4.24287 million per year

Explanation:

Missing question:  The swap will call for the exchange of 1 million euros for a given number of dollars in each year.

For structured three separate forward contracts of the exchange of currencies, the forward price could be found as follows

Forward exchange rate * $1 million error = Dollar to be received

Year 1 = 1.50*(1.04/1.03) * 1 million euros

Year 1 =  1.514563106796117 * 1 million euros

Year 1 =    $1.5145 million

Year 2 = 1.50*(1.04/1.03)^2 * 1 million euros

Year 2 = 1.529267602978604 * 1 million euros

Year 2 = $1.5293 million

Year 3 = 1.50*(1.04/1.03)^3 * 1 million euros

Year 3 = $1.5441 million

The number of dollars each year is determined by computing the present value:

= 1.5145 / 1.04 + 1.5293 /(1.04)^2 +1.5441 / (1.04)^3

= 1.45625 + 1.41392 + 1.3727

= $4.24287 million per year

Answer:

The limited partner is authorized to make business decisions on behalf of the general partners.

Explanation:

A limited partner also knows a silent partner. The limited partner enjoys limited liability to the debts of the business. They are called silent partners because they do not participate in running the business affairs. A limited partner contributes capital to the partnerships and allows the general partner to manage the business affairs.

Since a limited partner enjoys limited liabilities to the partnership's debts, they are not allowed to make business decisions. The general partners with unlimited liabilities run the business and make all the decisions.

Answer: d.Move us along the perimeter of the PPC

Explanation:

The Production Possibilities Curve (PPC) is used to demonstrate the concept of scarcity and trade-offs by showing different combinations of output of two goods give certain resources.

As the goods use the same resources, increasing the output of one good reduces the output of the other. The PPC therefore shows the optimal level of resource utilization. If production is efficient, it will follow this optimal level by moving along the perimeter of the PPC.

1. After the 50% taxes on your capital gain, your capital gain reduces to $300.

2. The inflation cost that you have experienced by paying a capital gain tax is c. wealth redistribution.

Wealth redistribution can occur when a part of a taxpayer's earnings is paid in taxes.  The inflation costs witnessed in the scenario are not shoe-leather costs, tax distortions, or money illusion.

Data and Calculations:

Earnings per year = $200,000

Increase in earnings = 3%

Investment in Microsoft stock = $6,000

Proceeds from sale of investment = $6,600

Short-term capital gains = $600 ($6,600 - $6,000)

Assumed tax rate on the capital gains = 50%

Capital gain after taxes =$300 ($600 x (1 - 50%)

Thus, your net capital gain (after the deduction of capital gains tax of 50%) is $300.

Direct labor rate variance= $3,915 unfavorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard labor rate $14.40 per hour

Actual hours worked 8,700 hours

Actual total labor cost $129,195

To calculate the direct labor rate variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity

Actual rate= 129,195/8,700= 14.85

Direct labor rate variance= (14.4 - 14.85)*8,700

Direct labor rate variance= $3,915 unfavorable

Answer:

a = 7 hours is the time must be allowed to maximize the utility of a typical Marbellite.        

Explanation:

Note: Some corrections in the questions

Wrong Utility function is = uſm, b, B) = m + 166 – 62 – B/50,

Correct Utility function = u ( m, b, B) = m + 16[tex]b^{}[/tex] - [tex]b^{2}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{b}{50}[/tex]

Data Given:

Marbella residents = 101

Utility Function = u ( m, b, B) = m + 16[tex]b^{}[/tex] - [tex]b^{2}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{b}{50}[/tex]

where m = amount of maccaroni (Kg)

b = hours spend on beach

B = total person-hours spent on beach

Each residents has an income of 10$ per day

maccaroni costs = 1$ per kg

Required = How many hours per day should they allow in order to maximize the utility of a typical Marbellite ?

Solution:

In order to find the required statement, we need to find the value of [tex]b^{}[/tex] from the utility function.

And it can be done by applying the partial differentiation on the utility function.

u ( m, b, B) = m + 16[tex]b^{}[/tex] - [tex]b^{2}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{B}{50}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{du}{dm}(m,b,B)[/tex] = [tex]\frac{dm}{dm}[/tex] +16[tex]b^{}[/tex] - [tex]b^{2}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{B}{50}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{du}{dm}(m,b,B)[/tex] = 1

[tex]\frac{du}{db}(m,b,B)[/tex] = 1m +16[tex]\frac{db}{db}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{db}{db}[/tex][tex]b^{2}[/tex] -[tex]\frac{B}{50}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{du}{db}(m,b,B)[/tex] = 16- 2[tex]b^{}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{du}{dB}(m,b,B)[/tex] = 1m +16b- 2[tex]b^{}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{dB}{dB}[/tex][tex]\frac{B}{50}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{du}{dB}(m,b,B)[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{50}[/tex]

Solving the above equations, we will get b.

b = 7 hours

Hence, a = 7 hours is the time must be allowed to maximize the utility of a typical Marbellite.        

Answer: B. There is $19,000 available for additional investments.

Explanation:

Cash Receipts both Estimated and available

= Beginning balance + budget receipts

= 6,000 + 81,000

= $87,000

Cash payments

= 44,000 + 34,000 + 15,000

= $93,000

Additional financing required = Cash receipts - Cash payment - minimum cash balance

= 87,000 - 93,000 - 13,000

= -$19,000

Answer:

a. earnings per share is RM1.60.

b. the price-earnings ratio is 12.50.

c. the dividends per share is RM0.50 and the dividend yield is 2.50%.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

The following information was taken from the financial statement of Fine Resources for December 31 of the current year:

Ordinary shares, RM20 par value (no change during the year) was RM5,000,000

Preferred 10% stock, RM40 par (no change during the year) was RM2,000,000

The net income was RM600,000, and the declared dividends on the ordinary shares were RM125,000 for the current year.

The market price of the ordinary shares is RM20 per share.

Required:

Calculate for ordinary shares related to:

a. earnings per share

b. the price-earnings ratio

c. the dividends per share and the dividend yield

The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

a. earnings per share

This can be calculated as follows:

Earnings per share = (Net income – Preferred dividend) / Number of ordinary shares …………… (1)

Where;

Net income = RM600,000

Preferred dividend = Preferred share value * 10% = RM2,000,000 * 10% = RM200,000

Number of ordinary shares = Total value of ordinary shares / Ordinary share per value = RM5,000,000 / RM20 = 250,000

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Earnings per share = (RM600,000 – RM200,000) / 250,000 = – RM200,000 / 250,000 = RM1.60

b. the price-earnings ratio

This can be calculated as follows:

Price-earnings ratio = Market price per share / Earnings per share = RM20 / RM1.60 = 12.50

c. the dividends per share and the dividend yield

Dividends per share = Ordinary shares dividend declared / Number of ordinary shares = RM125,000 / 250,000 = RM0.50

Dividend yield = Market price per share / Dividends per share = RM0.50 / RM20 = 0.025, or 2.50%

                   Sales                                                                      1,059

                   To record cash over and short for the day.                            

Working:

w.1:    Cash over and short = Cash recorded - Actual cash collected  = $1,059 - $1,050 = $9

Answer and Explanation:

Here we choose between the making and buying decision

The making cost is

= Direct material per unit + direct labor per unit + variable manufacturing overhead per unit

= $4 + $4 + $3

= $11

And, the buying cost is $14.20

So Cruise company should make the part and save the $3.20 cost i.e. come from

= $14.20 - $11

= $3.20

Explanation:

Capital expenditure is an expense incurred by the business to maintain its fixed assets with an objective to increase its efficiency. Any additions and improvements in fixed assets is an capital expenditure.

City inspection is required to evaluate the working condition of the asset and any fees paid for it, is a capital expenditure.

Interest payment on construction bonds, lease rental payments of assets and mortgage interest on asset is a liability payable in intervals and all they are operating expense and not considered to be capital expenditure.

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As the price of the property is $546,000 which is purchased by don and his son

So individually they paid an amount of

= $546,000 ÷ 2

= $273,000

Now the amount paid by Don is $330,000

And, his son paid $216,000

As it can be seen that amount paid by don is more than the 50% of the property value so this represents that this is a taxable gift to his son

Now the gift in the don hands would be

= $330,000 - $216,000

= $114,000

The $15,000 would not be taxable

So, the taxable gift would be

= $114,000 - $15,000

= $99,000
