Homer deposited $3,000 this morning into an account that pays 5 percent interest, compounded annually. Bart also deposited $3,000 this morning at 5 percent interest, compounded annually. At the end of each period, Homer will withdraw his interest earnings and put into a new account that pays 8 percent interest, compounded annually. Given this, which one of the following statements is true?

a. ​Barb will earn more interest the second year than Andy.
b. ​Andy will earn more interest in year three than Barb will.
c. ​Barb will earn more interest the first year than Andy will.
d. ​Andy will earn compound interest.
e. ​After five years, Andy and Barb will both have earned the same amount of interest.

Answer:

The answer is "Option a".

Explanation:

In this question, each year Barb pays back the interest received. It will add depth to its principle during the first year. In this, the actual case, the interest for $3000 at  5% for the first year = $150, would be added to $3 000, and $31,50. In the second year, Barb should gain a 5% interest on $3150. Throughout the case of Andy, the second principle will be $3000 like it was at the end of the first year. Thus, Barb's second year is going to have more interest.

Consider two neighboring island countries called Bellissima and Dolorium. They each have 4 million labor hours available per week that they can use to produce jeans, rye, or a combination of both. The following table shows the amount of jeans or rye that can be produced using 1 hour of labor.


Jeans Rye

(Pairs per hour of labor) (Bushels per hour of labor)

Bellissima 8 16
Dolorium 5 20

Initially, suppose Bellissima uses 1 million hours of labor per week to produce jeans and 3 million hours per week to produce rye, while Dolorium uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce jeans and 1 million hours per week to produce rye. Consequently, Bellissima produces 8 million pairs of jeans and 48 million bushels of rye, and Dolorium produces 15 million pairs of jeans and 20 million bushels of rye. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade goods, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consumes the amount of jeans and rye it produces.

Felicidad's opportunity cost of producing 1 pair of jeans is (1/2 bushel, 1/4 bushel, 2 bushel, 4 bushel) of corn, and Bellissima's opportunity cost of producing 1 pair of jeans is (1/2 bushel, 1/4 bushel, 2 bushel, 4 bushel) of corn. Therefore, (Bellissima, Felicidad) has a comparative advantage in the production of jeans, and (Bellissima, Felicidad) has a comparative advantage in the production of corn.

Suppose that each country completely specializes in the production of the good in which it has a comparative advantage, producing only that good. In this case, the country that produces jeans will produce _____ million pairs per month, and the country that produces corn will produce _____ million bushels per month.

1. Compute (a) the cost of goods purchased and (b) the cost of goods sold.

You are an industry analyst for the telecom sector. You are analyzing financial reports from two companies: tt & t Inc. and Phonez Corp. corporate tax for both firms is 35%. Your associate analyst has calculated and compiled, in the following table, a list of important figures you need for the analysis:

TT &T Inc. Phonz Crop.
EBIT $175,000 $124,600
Depreciation $70,000 $49,840
Total operating capital $1,029,000 $802,900
Net investment in operating capital $490,000 $259,000
WACC 8.84% 11.50%

In your analysis, you want to look for several characteristics-one of them being the return on invested capital (ROIC). Using the information available, complete the following statements:

TT&T inc. has a ______________free cash flow than Phonez Corp. does. The net operating profit after tax (NOPAT) for tt&t inc. is___________, whereas the NOPAT for Phonez Corp. is_________. TT&T inc. has a return on invested capital of_________, whereas, Phonez Corp. has a return on invested capital of___________

Your inference from the analysis is that both firms are in a high-growth phase, and their growth will be profitable. Considering your analysis, which of the following statements is true?

a. If ROIC is less than the rate of return that investors require, which is the weighted average cost of capital (WACC), then the firm is adding value.
b. If ROIC is greater than the rate of return that investors require, which is the weighted average cost of capital (WACC), then the firm is adding value.

We know that most decisions are in part, based on expectations of the future. Suppose we have two people who are trying to decide whether to consume today (assume it is currently January 2008) or save for the future and consume one year later, in January 2009. One person, let's call him Joe, is basing his decision on the ex-ante real rate of interest like most of us do. The other person who has a crystal ball, we'll call her Crystal, can see exactly what the actual rate of inflation is going to be and thus, has perfect foresight and bases her decision on the ex-post real rate. Look at the difference in the ex-ante and ex-post real rates you calculated in #25 and # 26 above. Who would be more likely to save and who would be more likely to spend? A. Both Joe and Crystal are savers. B. Both Joe and Crystal are spenders. C. Crystal saves, Joe spends. D. Crystal spends, Joe saves.

SNC is considering working with Nutrilife on a half-size contract for its herbal nutraceutical product line, with an incremental sales benefit to the top line of $2 million (a one-time 20% increase).

Considering the following labor markets. A slightly different feature of labor markets is that employees are the suppliers of labor and firms are the demanders of labor. Assuming an identical inward shift of the demand curve, which market will cause a higher level of unemployment due to the demand shift, as measured by the number of jobs lost due to the demand shift (not the absolute number of jobs)? Note: We are assuming we are in an industry with market power. While this is not necessarily the best assumption for a labor market, it is reasonable in the presence of a strong labor union.

JV, a corporation, was formed in 2013 to design and manufacture electric cars. JV is 60 percent owned by AutoCo (a car manufacturer) and 40 percent owned by ElectricCo (a developer of electric car technology). The decision-making authority of JV is equally shared between AutoCo and ElectricCo: the board of directors of JV is comprised of two members appointed by AutoCo and two members appointed by ElectricCo. JV’s board of directors (1) set the annual budgets; (2) responsible for the hiring, firing, and compensation of management; and (3) approve all material contracts. As part of the agreement, all cars produced by JV will bear AutoCo’s logo and will be sold at AutoCobranded auto dealers.

AutoCo is an established car manufacturer that has been producing cars in the United States for the past century. To meet governmental mandates of lowering emissions and increasing the fuel economy of its fleet, AutoCo has been evaluating various ways to enter the electric vehicle market. AutoCo does not currently have viable technology for the production of electric cars. ElectricCo was established by professors that developed cutting-edge battery technology for electric cars. Although ElectricCo has not produced electric cars in a mass market, the battery technology is tested and highly valued. AutoCo and ElectricCo jointly formed JV to produce electric cars for the mass market. JV benefits from ElectricCo’s proprietary technology and AutoCo’s manufacturing expertise and access to credit markets and distribution channels.

JV is financed with 30 percent equity and 70 percent debt. When JV was formed, ElectricCo did not have access to sufficient cash at inception to fund its equity interest. To purchase its equity interest, ElectricCo received a loan from AutoCo. The debt financing was obtained in the form of a credit facility from a third-party bank. For the bank to provide debt to JV, it required that AutoCo guarantee the loan.

Required:

a. Is JV a variable interest entity (VIE)?
b. Which entity, if any, should consolidate JV?
