A country has been in existence for only two years.
In the first year, receipts were $1.0 million and outlays were $1.5 million.
In the second year, receipts were $1.5 million and outlays were $2.0 million.
At the end of the second year, the government had issued debt worth______
Answer:
-1.0 million
Explanation:
the debt issued in the second year is equal to the sum of the excess of revenues over outlays
in year 1, debt = $1.0 million - $1.5 million = $-0.5 million
In year 2, debt = $1.5 million - $2.0 million = $-0.5 million
$-0.5 million + $-0.5 million = -1.0 million
"Manson Industries incurs unit costs of $8 ($5 variable and $3 fixed) in making an assembly part for its finished product. A supplier offers to make 12,400 of the assembly part at $6 per unit. If the offer is accepted, Manson will save all variable costs but no fixed costs. Prepare an analysis showing the total cost saving, if any, Manson will realize by buying the part. (Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).)"
Answer:
There is negative saving on total cost when it buys = -$12400
Explanation:
Per unit fixed costs = $3
Per unit variable costs = $5
Total cost of an unit = $8
Offer by supplier = 12400 units at $6 per units.
First calculate the amount when it makes:
Variable cost = 12400*5 = 62000
Fixed costs = 12400*3 = 37200
Total cost when it makes = 62000 + 37200 = $99200
First calculate the amount when it buys:
Fixed costs = 12400*3 = 37200
Purchase price = 12400*6 = $74400
Total cost when it buys = 37200 + 74400 = $111600
Since the total cost of buying is greater, so it should make the part.
However, the total cost saving when it makes the part = Total cost when it buys -Total cost when it makes
= $111600-$99200
= $12400
There is negative saving on total cost when it buys = -$12400
A broker represents a seller but is currently working with a buyer to find a home. Assuming that no statute has replaced the traditional common law of agency, which of these correctly identifies the parties in this relationship?
Answer:
A). The broker is the seller's agent; the buyer is the broker's customer.
Explanation:
The first statement most aptly identifies the two different parties in this given relationship. The broker is the seller's agent as he would represent him and assist him in listing his properties for sale as per the terms set by him. This would help the seller in receiving the best price for his property and also in ensuring all the legal requirements to be met in time. The buyer is the broker's customer as he assists him in providing a variety of housing options to choose from according to his needs and requirements. Thus, the broker is representing both the buyer and the seller distinctively. Hence, option A is the correct answer.
You have just been put in charge of a project that is already executing. While reviewing the project documentation, you discover that there is no WBS and you are approached by team members to add new components. You discover that there should be a WBS for the project. What is the BEST thing to do
Answer:
Stop project work and create the WBS, and don’t let work continue until it’s created
Explanation:
The WBS refers to the Work breakdown structure in which the work is divided into many parts so that it is easy for each one to work upon it as it does not the pressure for only one person. It's better to divide the work so that it would be completed within a prescribed time

Lenny's Landing has a net Section 1231 gain in the current year of $12,000. In the previous five years, there are $3,000 in unrecaptured Section 1231 losses. How will Lenny's gain be taxed in the current year
Answer:
As the $3,000 is unrecaptured losses, it will be carried forward to this year and would be set off against the current year's capital gains.
Explanation:
The previous year unrecaptured loss of $3000 will carried forward and would be set off against the capital gains of $12,000. The gain for the year can be calculated as under:
Capital Gain for the year = Gain Before unrecaptured losses - Carried Forward Losses
By putting values, we have:
Capital Gain for the year = $12,000 - $3,000 = $9,000
The resultant $9,000 would be the capital gain for the year.

How much potential money could be created from a new deposit of $2,000 and with a reserve ratio of 10%? How would it affect the ability of bank to create money if the reserve ratio decreased to 5%?
Answer:
To calculate the effect of the bank's ability to create money with a decrease in reserve ratio.
Given:
New deposits= $2000, Reserve ratio= 10 percent
To calculate the money multiplier= 1/10%= 1/0.1= 10
To calculate the money that was created we multiply the multiplier by the new deposits.
Therefore: 10*2000= $20,000
To calculate the amount created when the reserve ratio is 5%
To calculate the money multiplier= 1/5%= 1/0.05= 20
Therefore the money created will be 20*2000= $40,000
Based on $20000 extra gained, a decrease in the reserve ratio to 5% will lead to an increase in the capacity f the bank to make more money.

However, Leslie refuses to transfer the title, claiming the oral contract is not enforceable. This contract is:
Answer:
c. enforceable, because Willis has partially performed the oral contract and made improvements on the land.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete as it does not include the options. The complete question is therefore presented before answering the question as follows:
Willis and Leslie orally agree to the sale of a parcel of land for $50,000: one-half payable now as a down payment; one-half payable in 30 days at the time of closing when the title will be transferred. The buyer, Willis, is to have possession immediately. Willis pays Leslie $25,000, takes possession of the land, and starts building a house. At the time of closing, Willis has made a substantial beginning on the house. However, Leslie refuses to transfer the title, claiming the oral contract is not enforceable. This contract is:
a. enforceable, because the statute of frauds does not apply to this interest in land.
b. unenforceable, because there is no writing signed by Leslie.
c. enforceable, because Willis has partially performed the oral contract and made improvements on the land.
d. unenforceable, because the parol evidence rule applies.
The explanation to the answer is therefore given as follows:
An enforceable contract can be described as an oral or written agreement relating to employment, sales, or tenancy between two or more parties that can be imposed in a court of law.
If there is a permission by the law to enforce a contract, the obligation of the assenting parties to the contract is the execution of the agreement.
From the question, the contract is enforceable based on two facts: first, the contract is an oral agreement to the sale of a pacel of land between Wills and Leslie; and second, the oral contract has been executed to some extent by Will since he has made improvements on the land.
Therefore, the correct answer is option c. enforceable, because Willis has partially performed the oral contract and made improvements on the land.

When we take taxes into account, MM's 1958 Proposition could no longer hold, and the capital structure can be essential because of:____________.
a. higher operating income from lower dividends.
b. interest tax shield.
c. higher tax rates on retained earnings than on debt.
d. lower tax rates on dividends than on debt.
Answer:
MM's 1958 PropositionWhen we take taxes into account, MM's 1958 Proposition could no longer hold, and the capital structure can be essential because of:
b. interest tax shield.Explanation:
The propositions of Miller and Modigliani are that a firm's market value does not depend on the capital structure and the cost of equity increases as the percentage of debt increases.
But, when taxes are accounted for, MM's Propositions are no longer tenable, because debts provide interest tax shield and the market value of a firm is impacted by debts' interests and the tax shield that interests provide. Tax burden is reduced with interests on debts. This increases the Earnings per share, an important element in the valuation of a firm's market value.
The cause due to which capital structure is significant as per MM's 1958 proposition would be:
B). Interest tax shield.
MM's 1958 PropositionThe propositions made by MM i.e. Miller and Modigliani state that the value of a specific firm must not rely upon the capital structure it possesses.
They rather laid emphasis on calculating the worth by deducting that the tax shield is being displayed due to the interests received on the debts owned by the company.
This leads the firms to release their burden of taxes by shielding it through debts and as a result, the income increases. Therefore, this element must be involved while calculating the value of the firm.
Thus, option B is the correct answer.
