Suppose that the government immediately pursues an _____________ policy by increasing government purchases in response to the short-run economic impact of the higher oil prices.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to the blank space is: expansionary fiscal policy

Explanation:

Expansionary fiscal policy consists in either the increase of government purchases (fiscal spending), or the reduction of taxes, or both.

Expansionary fiscal policy is recommended when the economy is experiencing a downturn, and can be helpful in reducing the damage that the economic slump generates.

In the case of the question, higher oil prices for an importing country will result in less economic activity because this important fuel becomes more expensive, both for manufacturing, agriculture and services. For this reason, the government responds by increasing spending with the goal of reactivating the economy as soon as possible, and reducing the damange that was already done.

Banks often estimate inflation. You can see what they think inflation will be if you know how much they charge for loans and how much they expect to earn. Suppose the nominal interest rate is 7% and the real interest rate is 2%. Given these interest rates, the bank thinks inflation will be_________ %

Answers

Answer:

5%

Explanation:

To find the answer, we use the Nominal Interest Rate formula:

Nominal Interest Rate = Real Interest Rate + Inflation Rate

Now, we plug the amounts into the formula, and confirm that the answer is correct:

7% = 2% + 5%

As we can see, the nominal interest rate is the sum of the real interest rate and the inflation rate. Therefore, banks will estimate the nominal interest rate taking into account the expected inflation rate.

In the article, the graph labeled "Gas Guzzling" shows how the quantity demanded of gasoline varies each year. The graph depicts the quantity demanded that occurs at each year's equilibrium price. Therefore, the best way to interpret the numbers on the y axis is to assume that they represent an equilibrium when both the quantity of gas demanded and the quantity of gas supplied are the same. At this equilibrium, the price is the one that occurs at the intersection of the demand and supply curves.
We can turn to the textbook to understand why there were fluctuations in the quantity of gasoline sold over time. In particular, the textbook mentions several factors that shift a demand curve, as well as several factors that shift a supply curve. When either of these curves shifts, there will be a new equilibrium price and a new equilibrium quantity in the market.
Consider the following factor and indicate whether it increases or decreases the equilibrium price of gasoline and the equilibrium quantity of gasoline sold. In this problem, assume that gasoline is a normal good.

Choose one:
A. price increases and quantity increases.
B. price decreases and quantity increases.
C. price increases and quantity decreases.
D. price decreases and quantity decreases

Answers

Answer:

The correct answers are the options D and A. The demand curve shifts to the right and the price increases and the quantity increases.  

Explanation:

To begin with, the income of the consumers is a variable that only affects the demand and therefore that, as the gasoline is a normal good, when the income of the consumers increase then the quanitity demanded of the product will increase as well due to the fact that now the people have more money to use and when this happens the demand curve shifts to the right causing that the in the new equilibrium the price is higher and the quantity is higher as well too.

b. $4,500
c. $(4,736)
d. $34,500
e. $82,862

Answers

Answer:

Net Present Value = $3,304.069

Explanation:

To determine whether or not the investment was right, we will need to determine the net present value of the investment (NPV).

The NPV is the difference between the present value PV of cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good investment decision and a negative figure implies the opposite.

NPV of an investment(NPV)

NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of cash outflow

The cash inflow is an annuity.

PV of annuity= A× 1 -(1+r)^(-n)/r

A- Annual cash flow ,- 23,400 r - discount rate - 8%, number of years- 3

Present Value of cash inflow =23,400 × (1- (1.08)^(-3)/0.08 = 60,304.06

Initial cost = 57,000

Net Present Value = 60,304.06 - 57,000 = 3,304.069

Net Present Value = $3,304.069

Kindly note that a discount rate of 8% was used as it is the opportunity cost of capital for the investment.

Quantity Book 8.00 9.00 9.00 11.00
Budget 150.00 150.00 150.00 150.00

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The price consumption curve abbreviated PCC indicates graphically the changes in consumption of goods given changes in prices of the goods

The graph picture attached(please find attached) illustrates the decrease in consumption for wine as the price increases( the higher the price, the lower the demand), hence the downward sloping PCC curve. The other diagram B for book shows increase in quantity demanded even while price is constant causing a straight line not downward or upward sloping curve. This can happen as a result of other factors such as increase in quality of product or other factors. Also notice that we are working with the assumption that consumer's budget is constant so that it does not contribute as a factor for increase in demand

1. Accounts, Amounts, and Effects on the Accounting Equation:

Date        Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity

Jan. 3      Inventory $31,000 increased = Accounts Payable $31,000 increased + Stockholders' Equity

Jan. 27    Cash $31,000 decreased = Accounts Payable $31,000 decreased + Stockholders' Equity.

Apr. 1      Cash $87,000 increased = Notes Payable $87,000 increased + Stockholders' Equity

June 13   Inventory $9,400 increased = Accounts Payable $9,400 increased + Stockholders' Equity

July 25   Cash $9,400 decreased = Accounts Payable $9,400 decreased + Stockholders' Equity.

Aug. 1     Cash $9,400 increased = Liability + Rent Revenue (Retained Earnings) $9,400 increased.

Dec. 31   Assets = Wages Payable $19,000 increased + Wages Expense (Retained Earnings) $19,000 decreased

Dec. 31   Assets = Interest Payable $1,305 increased + Interest Expense (Retained Earnings) $3,915 decreased

Dec. 31  Assets = Unearned Rent Revenue $3,525 increased + Rent Revenue (Retained Earnings) $3,525 decreased.

Quality of life is a hidden variable because it cannot be measured directly but must be inferred from measurable variables such as wealth, success, and environment.

Explanation:

Hidden variable: The term "hidden variable" is described as the proposition that specific "statistical models" of any physical systems, for example, Quantum mechanics are being incomplete inherently, and along with this the apparent randomness of a particular system is being dependent not on "collapsing functions" but instead it is due to any unmeasurable or unseen or hidden variables.

Larry Nelson holds 1,000 shares of General Electric's (GE) common stock. The annual stockholder meeting is being held soon, but as a minor shareholder, Larry doesn't plan to attend. Larry did not sell his shares but gave his voting rights to the management group running General Electric (GE). Larry must have signed a ________ that gives the management group control over his shares.
Larry also holds 2,000 shares of common stock in a company that only has 20,000 shares outstanding. The company's stock currently is valued at $47.00 per share. The company needs to raise new capital to invest in production. The company is looking to issue 5,000 new shares at a price of $37.60 per share. Larry worries about the value of his investment.
Larry's current investment in the company is_______. If the company issues new shares and Larry makes no additional purchase, Larry's investment will be worth_______.
This scenario is an example of_______. Larry could be protected if the firm's corporate charter includes a ________ provision.
If Larry exercises the provisions in the corporate charter to protect his stake, his investment value in the firm will become________.

Answers

Answer:

Larry must have signed a PROXY AGREEMENT that gives the management group control over his shares.

A proxy agreement is generally used for stockholders voting procedures, they basically grant another person the right to vote on behalf of another stockholder.

Larry's current investment in the company is $94,000.

= 2,000 stocks x $47 = $94,000

If the company issues new shares and Larry makes no additional purchase, Larry's investment will be worth $90,240.

company's new market value = (20,000 x $47) + (5,000 x $37.60) = $1,128,000

new stock price = $1,128,000 / 25,000 stocks = $45.12

= $45.12 x 2,000 = $90,240

This scenario is an example of STOCK DILUTION.

The stock price will lower because the increase in the company's value is less than proportional to the increase in the number of stocks.

Larry could be protected if the firm's corporate charter includes a PREEMPTIVE provision.

Preemptive rights give current stockholders the right to purchase more stocks (in case the company issues more stocks) before any outside investors.

If Larry exercises the provisions in the corporate charter to protect his stake, his investment value in the firm will become $112,800.

= [(5,000 / 10) x $37.60] + $94,000 = $18,800 + $94,000 = $112,800

In the aftermath of the global economic crisis that started to take hold in 2008, U.S. government budget deficits increased dramatically, yet interest rates on U.S. Treasury debt fell sharply and stayed low for quite some time. Does this make sense? Why or why not

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

the supply effect of large deficits should cause interest rates to go up. The economic crisis caused wealth and income to be lower

which brought about a depression inTreasury bond demand, corporate bond supply also fell the more as investment opportunities reduced. A greater leftward shift in the bond

supply curve than the rightward shift in the bond demand curve would bring about a rise in

bond prices and a reduction in interest rates. Because off the seriousness of the global crisis, the United States

treasury debt became safe for forms of investment, with relative risk falling and liquidity

for U.S. treasury debt rising.

This then increased the U.S. treasury bond demand, resulting into higher

bond prices and lower yields.

You need a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage to buy a new home for $320,000. Your mortgage bank will lend you the money at a 6.15 percent APR for this 360-month loan. However, you can afford monthly payments of only $1,600, so you offer to pay off any remaining loan balance at the end of the loan in the form of a single balloon payment.
How large will this balloon payment have to be for you to keep your monthly payments at $1,600? Please show and explain all work.

Answers

Answer:

$362,353

Explanation:

In order to answer this question I prepared an amortization schedule to determine the remaining principal balance at the end of the 30th year.

The problem with this loan is that the interests charged for the first month only are $1,640. This means that your monthly payment will not even cover the interest expense which means that the principal will grow month after month. After 360 months, your loan balance will increase from $320,000 to $362,353.

Answers

Answer:

C. $69,000

Explanation:

Computation of the cash paid for dividends during Year 2

First step is to calculate the difference in Retained earnings for Year 2 and Year 1

Retained earnings =$688,000-$582,000

Difference in retained earnings =$106,000

Second step is to calculate for the cash paid for dividends during Year 2

Using this formula

Cash paid dividend = Year 2 Net income- Retained earnings difference

Let plug in the formula

Cash paid dividend=$175,000-$106,000

Cash paid dividend =$69,000

Therefore the cash paid for dividends during Year 2 will be $69,000

Answer: Lowering international synergy and cost via the value chain matrix

Explanation:

Theodore Levitt came up with some assumptions facing opposing forces of reducing costs and adapting to local markets that international business people should be aware of which include;

On a global scale, customer needs are beginning to become homogeneous.People are willing to sacrifice their preferences for better quality products at a cheaper quality which gives Multinational Companies a chance to offer them better products than local producers due to their large sizes and Economies of scale.Having to supply the world can lead to Economies of scale in production and marketing due to the larger market.

Lowering international synergy and cost via the value chain matrix is not one of the assumptions espoused by Theodore Levitt and so is the correct answer.

If the Fed lowers the interest​ rate, then A. only consumption expenditure decreases. B. only investment decreases. C. consumption expenditure decreases and investment increases. D. net exports will increase. E. both consumption expenditure and investment decrease.

Answers

Answer: D. net exports will increase.

Explanation:

Lower interest rates decrease the value of a currency because less investors will invest in it. This reduced currency value will mean that exports will become cheaper as they are quoted in the domestic currency. As the exports are cheaper, more countries will buy them leading to an increase in Net exports.

Answers

Answer:

End inventory = $4,730

Cost of goods sold = $10,310

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided in the attached Microsoft word document before answering the question as follows:

a. Calculation of ending inventory

Number of units of Beginning inventory remaining unsold = 16 - 11 - 3 - 1 = 1 unit

Value of number of units Beginning inventory remaining unsold = 1 * $340 = $340

Number of units June 12 Purchase remaining unsold = 10 - 9 = 1 unit

Value of number of units June 12 Purchase remaining unsold = 1 * $330 = $330

Number of units of June 24 Purchase remaining unsold = 10 - 7 = 3 units

Value of number of June 24 Purchase remaining unsold = 3 * $320 = $960

Value of number of June 29 Purchase remaining unsold = 10 * $310 = $3,100

Therefore, End inventory is the addition of all the values of units remaining unsold as follows:

End inventory = $340 + $330 + $960 + $3,100 = $4,730

b. Calculation of cost of goods sold

June 7 cost of goods sold = 11 * $340 = $3,740

June 15 cost of goods sold = (3 * $340) + (9 * $330) = $3,990

June 27 cost of goods sold = (1 * $340) + (7 * $320) = $2,580

Cost of goods sold can therefore be calculated as follows:

Cost of goods sold = June 7 cost of goods sold + June 15 cost of goods sold + June 27 cost of goods sold = $3,740 + $3,990 + $2,580 = $10,310

Westbrook's Painting Co. plans to issue a $1,000 par value, 20-year noncallable bond with a 7.00% annual coupon, paid semiannually. The company's marginal tax rate is 25%, but Congress is considering a change in the corporate tax rate to 15%. By how much would the component cost of debt used to calculate the WACC change if the new tax rate was adopted

Answers

Answer:

The component cost of debt used to calculate the WACC will change by 0.70% if the new tax rate was adopted.

Explanation:

This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the component cost of debt used to calculate the WACC as follows:

CD = WD * PCD * (1 - t) ........................ (1)

Where;

CD = Component of cost of debt in WACC

WD = Weight of debt

PCD = Pretax cost of debt

t = tax rate

Note: Since information is provided for only the 20-year noncallable bond in the question, we assume that WD is 100% for simplicity purpose.

We can therefore proceed as follows:

a. CD When tax rate is 25%

Based on equation (1) and the assumption in the note, we have:

CD when t is 25% = Component of cost of debt in WACC = ?

WD = Weight of debt = 100%

PCD = Pretax cost of debt = 7%

t = tax rate = 25%

Substituting into equation (1), we have:

CD when t is 25% = 100% * 7% * (1 - 25%) = 5.25%

b. CD When tax rate is 15%

Based on equation (1) and the assumption in the note, we have:

CD when t is 15% = Component of cost of debt in WACC = ?

WD = Weight of debt = 100%

PCD = Pretax cost of debt = 7%

t = tax rate = 15%

Substituting into equation (1), we have:

CD when t is 15% = 100% * 7% * (1 - 15%) = 5.95%

c. the WACC change if the new tax rate was adopted

Change in WACC = CD when t is 15% - CD when t is 25% = 5.95% - 5.25% = 0.70%

Therefore, the component cost of debt used to calculate the WACC will change by 0.70% if the new tax rate was adopted.

ABC Company sells three products, X, Y and Z. The weighted average contribution margin for all three products is $3.05 per unit. ABC's total fixed costs are $35,000. Sales mix percentages are :

Answers

Answer:

Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The weighted average contribution margin for all three products is $3.05 per unit. ABC's total fixed costs are $35,000

With the information provided, we can only calculate the break-even point in units for the whole company using the following formula:

Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin

Break-even point (units)= 35,000/3.05

Break-even point (units)= 11,475

Now, imagine the following sales mix:

X= 0.25

Y=0.40

Z=0.35

We can determine the number of units for each product:

X= 11,475*0.25= 2,869

Y= 11,475*0.4= 4,590

Z= 11,475*0.35= 4,016

Break-even point Currently, the unit selling price of a product is $160, the unit variable cost is $120, and the total fixed costs are $725,000. A proposal is being evaluated to increase the unit selling price to $170.
A. Compute the current break-even sales (units).
B. Compute the anticipated break-even sales (units), assuming that the unit selling price is increased and all costs remain constant.

Answers

Answer:

A. 18,125 units

B. 14,500 units

Explanation:

Break -even is the level of activity where a firm neither makes a profit nor a loss.

Break-even sales (units) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit

                                        =  $725,000 ÷ ( $160 - $120)

                                        =  18,125 units

New Break-even sales (units) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit

                                                 =  $725,000 ÷ ( $170- $120)

                                                 =  14,500 units

A new operating system for an existing maching is expected to cost $786000 and have a useful life of six years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $230000 each year after deducting its straight line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $90000. Assume the company requires a 10% rate of return on its investments. Compute the net present value of each potential investment.

Answers

Answer:

NPV is $771,739

Explanation:

As we know that:

Net Present Value = Present Value of Cash inflow (STEP 1) - Present Value of Cash outflow

STEP 1. Present Value of Cash Inflow

Here

Present Value of Cash Inflow = Annuity of Annual Cash flow    - PV of Scrap Value

Annual Cash flow is $346,000 ($230,000  +   ($786,000 - $90,000)/6)

So

Annuity of annual cash inflow = $346,000 * Annuity Factor

Here

Annuity Factor for 6 years is 4.3553

Now this means that:

Annuity of annual cash Inflow = $346,000 *  4.3553 = $1,506,934

Present Value of Residual Value ($90,000 * 0.5645) = $50,805

Present Value of cash inflows                                        $1,557,739

Now putting values in the above equation, we have:

Net Present Value = $1,557,739   -    $786,000

Net Present Value = $771,739

During the current year, Cary and Bill incurred acquisition debt on their residence of $1,300,000 and a home equity loan of $200,000. On a joint tax return, what is the amount of their qualified acquisition debt and qualified home equity debt, respectively?

Answers

Answer:

qualified acquisition debt = $750,000

qualified home equity debt = $0

Explanation:

Qualified acquisition debt refers to the debt incurred to purchase or build your home. In this case, Cary and Bill are allowed to itemize the interests paid for up to $750,000 of the acquisition debt ($375,000 if filing separately). This limit was reduced due to the TCJA of 2017, and will remain in place until 2025. After 2025, the limit will return to the normal $1,000,000.

Certain amount of interests on qualified home equity loans will also return in 2025, but currently they are not deductible.

Goods available for sale                   $1,195,000  

Cost-to-retail percentage                  0.78 (in working note)

Less: Net sales                                  $860,000

Retail Estimated ending

inventory                                            $335,500  ($1,195,000 - $860,000)

At cost Estimated ending

inventory                           $261,690

Cost-to-retail percentage is

= 936,000 ÷ 1,200,000

= 0.78

Estimated ending inventory at cost is

335,500 × 0.78

= 261,690

A university bookstore buys mechanical pencils from a wholesaler. The wholesaler offers discount for large order quantity per shipment according to the following price schedule:
Order Quantity Price Per Unit
1 to 200 $4.00
201 to 1,000 $3.60
1,001 to 2,000 $3.40
2,001 and greater $3.25
The bookstore expects an annual demand of 2,500 units. It costs $10 to place an order, and the annual cost of holding a unit in stock is 30% of the unit’s procurement price. Determine the best order quantity.

Answers

Answer:

226 units

Explanation:

Formula : [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2 * Annual Demand * Ordering Cost}{Holding Cost}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{\frac{2*2500*10}{0.3*3.25} }[/tex]  = 226

The economic order quantity is the minimum amount of inventory that a seller must keep to demand and lower the holding cost. The reorder point is the inventory management system in which a certain level of inventory is set as a trigger for reordering the stock. Ordering cost is determined by the number of order placed.

The Pennington Corporation issued a new series of bonds on January 1, 1985. The bonds were sold at par ($1,000); had a 12% coupon; and mature in 30 years, on December 31, 2014. Coupon payments are made semiannually (on June 30 and December 31). a. What was the YTM on January 1, 1985?

Target ROI is 19% Invested Capital is $569,512 Full Cost per unit $1,124 Expected sales volume is 959 units. If the company prices each unit to earn the target ROI, what amount of profit would be added to the cost of each unit?

Answers

Answer:

The amount of profit to be added to the cost of each unit = $112.83

Explanation:

Profit is the difference between the selling price per unit and full cost per unit. To determine the the amount of profit to be added , we will divide the total return on invested capital by the number of units to be produced and sold. This is given below as follows:

Target return = ROI (%) × Invested capital

                     = 19% × 569,512 = 108,207.28

Profit per unit = Total return/Number of units

                   = $108,207.28 /959 units

                   = $112.83 per unit

Selling price per unit = Full cost per unit + profit per unit

                                = 1,124 + 112.83 = 1,237.66  (this is not required anyway)

The amount of profit to be added to the cost of each unit = $112.83

The amount of profit that would be added to the cost of each unit is $112.83 that should be come after calculating the target return.

Calculation of the amount of profit:

Before that the following calculations need to be done

Target return = ROI (%) × Invested capital

= 19% × 569,512

= 108,207.28

Now

Profit per unit = Total return/Number of units

= $108,207.28 /959 units

 = $112.83 per unit

hence, The amount of profit that would be added to the cost of each unit is $112.83.

Which three parts of this excerpt from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death" highlight the suggestion that the powerful and wealthy in the story are insensitive toward the outbreak of the disease and those who are suffering?The "Red Death" had long devastated the country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was its Avatar and its sealthe redness and the horror of blood. There were sharp pains, and sudden dizziness, and then profuse bleeding at the pores, with dissolution. The scarlet stains upon the body and especially upon the face of the victim, were the pest ban which shut him out from the aid and from the sympathy of his fellow-men. And the whole seizure, progress and termination of the disease, were the incidents of half an hour.But the Prince Prospero was happy and dauntless and sagacious. When his dominions were half depopulated, he summoned to his presence a thousand hale and light-hearted friends from among the knights and dames of his court, and with these retired to the deep seclusion of one of his castellated abbeys. This was an extensive and magnificent structure, the creation of the prince's own eccentric yet august taste. A strong and lofty wall girdled it in. This wall had gates of iron. The courtiers, having entered, brought furnaces and massy hammers and welded the bolts. They resolved to leave means neither of ingress nor egress to the sudden impulses of despair or of frenzy from within. The abbey was amply provisioned. With such precautions the courtiers might bid defiance to contagion. The external world could take care of itself. In the meantime it was folly to grieve, or to think. The prince had provided all the appliances of pleasure. There were buffoons, there were improvisatori, there were ballet-dancers, there were musicians, there was Beauty, there was wine. All these and security were within. Without was the "Red Death."It was towards the close of the fifth or sixth month of his seclusion, and while the pestilence raged most furiously abroad, that the Prince Prospero entertained his thousand friends at a masked ball of the most unusual magnificence.
