A deposit multiplier is maximum amount of money that can be created for each unit of reserve. It is key requirement for maintaining economy's basic money supply. The simple deposit multiplier is 1 / rr * change in R. Deposit multiplier is the inverse of reserve ratio. The higher the reserve ratio the lesser will be the deposit multiplier. Reserve ratio is the minimum amount of money that must be kept in the deposit.
Consider the market for minivans (Some would describe a minivan as a family car). Looking at the two statements, which one is true and which one is false? Then again, are they both true or both false? Statement 1: People decide to have fewer children. The demand curve for minivans will shift to the right. Statement 2: The stock market crashes lowering people’s wealth (Hint: Minivan would be considered a normal good). The demand curve for minivans will shift to the right.
Answer:
both statements are false
Explanation:
if People decide to have fewer children, there would be less demand for minivans as a result the demand curve would shift to the left.
also, if The stock market crashes lowering people’s wealth and minivans are normal goods, the demand for minivans would fall and the demand curve would shift to the left.
A leftward shift signifies a fall in demand while a rightward shift signals a rise in demand
Normal goods are goods that are goods whose demand increases when income increases and falls when income falls

A small Canadian firm that has developed some valuable new medical products using its unique biotechnology know-how is trying to decide how best to serve the European Union. Its choices are given below. The cost of investment in manufacturing facilities will be a major one for the Canadian firm, but it is not outside its reach. If these are the firm's only options, which one would you advise it to choose? Why?
a. Manufacture the product at home and let foreign sales agents handle marketing.
b. Manufacture the product at home and set up a wholly owned subsidiary in Europe to handle marketing.
Answer:
Correct Answer:
a. Manufacture the product at home and let foreign sales agents handle marketing.
Explanation:
For the small Canadian company, manufacturing the product at home (Canada) would afford them the opportunity to protect their new medical product from piracy. Also, they would be able to receive tax incentives from their government as well file for patent of their new innovation.
The foreign agent would strictly be focused on the marketing of the finished product without having access to the detailed information of the product.

Which of the following will cause an increase in the supply of a product?
A.)production increases
B.)establishment of new companies
C.)both a and b
D.)neither a or b
Answer:
C.)both a and b
Explanation:
when production increases more unit of goods will be produced. when more number of goods will be produced, more will be available for supply in market.Hence, we can say that production increase cause an increase in the supply of a product.
When new company companies establishes for production of a same same type of product, the production of product will increase when product production is measured altogether for the product and hence number of product in the market will increase and hence the supply of product will increase. Hence, we can say that establishment of new companies cause an increase in the supply of a product.
Thus, option C both a and b is the correct answer.

Sterling Hotel uses activity-based costing to determine the cost of servicing customers. There are three activity pools: guest check-in, room cleaning, and meal service. The activity rates associated with each activity pool are $8.00 per guest check-in, $20.00 per room cleaning, and $4.00 per served meal (not including food). Julie Washington visited the hotel for a 7-night stay. Julie had 6 meals in the hotel during the visit. Determine the total activity-based cost for Washington's visit during the month. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
Answer:
Total cost= $172
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
guest check-in= $8 per guest check-in
room cleaning= $20 per room
meal service= $4 per served meal
Julie Washington visited the hotel for a 7-night stay. Julie had 6 meals in the hotel during the visit.
To calculate the total cost, we need to use the following formula:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
guest check-in= 8*1= 8
room cleaning= 20*7= 140
meal service= 4*6= 24
Total cost= $172

A machine costing $57,000 with a six-year life and $54,000 depreciable cost was purchased January 1. Compute the yearly depreciation expense using straight-line depreciation.
Answer:
$9,000
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense using the straight-line method is shown below;
= (Purchase value of machinery - residual value) ÷ (estimated useful life)
= $54,000 ÷ 6 years
= $9,000
The depreciation cost is the cost which is come after considering the salvage value and the same is to be considered
Hence, the depreciation expense is $9,000
King enterprises has an Total Asset Turnover ratio of 5.0, Profit margin of 3%, and a ROE equals to 18%. What is the firm's equity mulitplier (Total Asset/Equity)? Use DuPont Analysis.
Answer: 1.2
Explanation:
The DuPont Analysis is a method of calculating the Return on Equity by using various other ratios. It shows the relatiosnhips between variables in a firm and can help the firm know which areas to target to improve ROE.
Using the DuPont Analysis, the Return on Equity is;
ROE = Profit Margin * Asset Turnover * Equity Multiplier
18% = 3% * 5 * Equity Multiplier
18% = 0.15 * Equity Multiplier
Equity Multiplier = 18%/0.15
Equity Multiplier = 1.2
On January 1, Beckman, Inc., acquires 60 percent of the outstanding stock of Calvin for $54,480. Calvin Co. has one recorded asset, a specialized production machine with a book value of $10,000 and no liabilities. The fair value of the machine is $78,000, and the remaining useful life is estimated to be 10 years. Any remaining excess fair value is attributable to an unrecorded process trade secret with an estimated future life of 4 years. Calvin’s total acquisition date fair value is $90,800.
At the end of the year, Calvin reports the following in its financial statements:
Revenues 65,550 Machine 13,590 Common stock 10,000
Expenses 29,250 Other assets 27,710 Retained earnings 31,300
Net income 36,300 Total assets 41,300 Total equity 41,300
Dividends paid 5,000
Required:
Determine the amounts that Beckman should report in its year-end consolidated financial statements for noncontrolling interest in subsidiary income, noncontrolling interest, Calvin’s machine (net of accumulated depreciation), and the process trade secret.
Answer:
Beckman noncontrolling interest in subsidiary income $10,520
Calvin Machine (net of accumulated depreciation) $71,200
Explanation:
To calculate noncontrolling interest in subsidiary's income;
Revenue $65,550
Expenses $39,250 (29,250 + $6,800 + $3,200)
Net Income $26,300
Noncontrolling percentage = 40%
NonControlling Income = $10,520
Depreciation of Machine = [tex]\frac{Fair value of Machine - Book value}{estimated useful life}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{78,000 - 10,000}{10 years}[/tex] = 6,800 per annum
Amortization of trade secrets = [tex]\frac{Fair Value Total - Machine value}{Useful life}[/tex]
Amortization of trade secrets = [tex]\frac{90,800 - 78,000}{4 years}[/tex]
= 3,200
The Suds Corporation has just suffered significant losses of revenue for three quarters in a row, and the shareholders are furious. Much of the loss can be attributed to the board's decision to change from their traditional lager beer to a lighter and smoother brew. Unfortunately, the new recipe alienated current customers and failed to bring in new customers. Although Suds has announced that it will return to its original product, the shareholders are claiming the board violated its fiduciary duty of care, and they are suing the directors personally for their significant losses. What must the shareholders prove to win their lawsuit
Answer and Explanation:
The fiduciary duty of care also called duty of care is the fudicaiary responsibility that requires board directors of a company to act and make decisions in good faith, having the best interest of the company in mind. This duty(whether written or implied) makes board directors responsible in ensuring that decisions made for the company are sound, ethical and legal.
In the above example, board directors of the suds corporation may have not performed this duty as required but this would depend on thorough investigation to ascertain the method and process by which the decision was arrived on. For instance, we are sure the decision was legal and also ethical(as they were only out to improve on company products and increase revenue likewise), we are not sure however of the soundness of this decision. This leads us to investigate the processes and results obtained from enquiring/researching on this new product decided on by the board. Therefore was it sound according to these results and processes. This is where evidence of a breach of duty by the board may be found
Suppose that on January 1, the cost of borrowing French francs for the year is 18%. During the year, U.S. inflation is 5%, and French inflation is 9%. At the same time, the exchange rate changes from FF 1 = $0.15 on January 1 to FF 1 = $0.10 on December 31. What was the real U.S. dollar cost of borrowing francs (real interest rate in U.S.) for the year?
Answer:
-25.08%.
Explanation:
Given that, during the year, the franc devalued by (0.15 - 0.10)/0.15 = 33.33%.
Then, the nominal dollar cost of borrowing French francs, therefore, was 0.18(1 - 0.3333) - 0.3333 = -21.33%.
Thus, for each dollar's worth of francs borrowed on January 1, it cost only $1 - $0.2133 = $0.7867 to repay the principal plus interest.
Also, with U.S. inflation of 5% during the year, the real dollar cost of repaying the principal and interest is $0.7867/1.05 = $0.7492.
Subtracting the original $1 borrowed, it shows that the real dollar cost of repaying the franc loan is -$0.2508 or a real dollar interest rate of -25.08%.
Suppose investors can earn a return of 2% per 6 months on a Treasury note with 6 months remaining until maturity. The face value of the T-bill is $10,000. What price would you expect a 6-month maturity Treasury bill to sell for?
Answer:
Price of treasury bill = $9,803.92
Explanation:
The price of the treasury note would be the present value of the future receivable on maturity discounted at the rate of return of 2% per six-month.
The formula is FV = PV × (1+r)^(n)
PV = Present Value- ?
FV - Future Value, - 10,000
n- number of years- 1/2
r- interest rate - 2%
PV = 10,000 × (1.02)^(-1)
PV = 9,803.92
Price of treasury bill = $9,803.92
Ben has $500 in his savings account and the bank pays an interest rate of 10 percent a year. The inflation rate is 6 percent a year. The government taxes the interest that Ben earns on his deposit at 20 percent. Calculate the nominal after-tax interest rate and the real after-tax interest rate that Ben earns.
Answer:
Nominal after-tax interest rate = 8%Real After-Tax Interest Rate = 2%Explanation:
The Nominal rate is 10%
Inflation rate is 6%
And Tax rate is 20%
Nominal after-tax interest rate
= Nominal rate (1 - tax rate)
= 10% ( 1 - 0.2)
= 8%
Real After-Tax Interest Rate
= Nominal after-tax interest rate - inflation rate
= 8% - 6%
= 2%
Worley Company buys surgical supplies from a variety of manufacturers and then resells and delivers these supplies to hundreds of hospitals. Worley sets its prices for all hospitals by marking up its cost of goods sold to those hospitals by 5%. For example, if a hospital buys supplies from Worley that had cost Worley $100 to buy from manufacturers, Worley would charge the hospital $105 to purchase these supplies.
For years, Worley believed that the 5% markup covered its selling and administrative expenses and provided a reasonable profit. However, in the face of declining profits Worley decided to implement an activity-based costing system to help improve its understanding of customer profitability. The company broke its selling and administrative expenses into five activities as shown below:
Activity Cost Pool (Activity Measure) Total Cost Total Activity
Customer deliveries (Number of deliveries) $ 500,000 5,000 deliveries
Manual order processing (Number of manual orders) 248,000 4,000 orders
Electronic order processing (Number of electronic orders) 200,000 12,500 orders
Line item picking (Number of line items picked) 450,000 450,000 line items
Other organization-sustaining costs (None) 602,000
Total selling and administrative expenses $ 2,000,000
Worley gathered the data below for two of the many hospitals that it serves—University and Memorial (both hospitals purchased a total quantity of medical supplies that had cost Worley $30,000 to buy from its manufacturers):

Answer is complete and correct
Total Revenue
University $ 31,500
Memorial $ 31,500
Answer:
Worley CompanyComputation of Total Revenue from University and Memorial:
Total Cost = $38,541.00
Mark-up (5%) $1,927.05
Total Revenue $40,468.05
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Activity Cost Pool (Activity Measure) Total Cost Total Activity
Customer deliveries (Number of deliveries) $ 500,000 5,000 deliveries
Manual order (Number of manual orders) 248,000 4,000 orders

Electronic order (Number of electronic orders) 200,000 12,500 orders
processing
Line item picking (Number of line items picked) 450,000 450,000 line items
Other organization-sustaining costs (None) 602,000
Total selling and administrative expenses $ 2,000,000
Data on University and Memorial Hospitals:
Activity Measure University Memorial
Number of deliveries 10 25
Number of manual orders 0 30
Number of electronic orders 15 0
Number of line items picked 120 250
Activity Rates:
Customer deliveries (Number of deliveries) $ 500,000/5,000 = $100
Manual order (Number of manual orders) 248,000/4,000 = $62
processing
Electronic order (Number of electronic orders) 200,000/12,500 = $16
processing
Line item picking (Number of line items picked) 450,000/450,000 = $1
Other organization-sustaining costs (None) 602,000
Cost of Selling and Administrative Expenses to the two hospitals:
Activity Measure University Memorial Total Total Cost
Number of deliveries 10 25 35 $3,500
Number of manual orders 0 30 30 $1,860
Number of electronic orders 15 0 15 $240
Number of line items picked 120 250 370 $370
Total Selling and Administrative Expenses $5,970
Cost of medical supplies = $30,000
Selling and administrative expenses = $5,970
Fixed costs = $2,571
($5,970/$1,398,000 x $602,000)
Total Cost = $38,541
Mark-up (5%) $1,927.05
Selling price $40,468.05
b) The case stated that both University and Memorial had purchased a total quantity of medical supplies that had cost Worley $30,000 to buy from its manufacturers. This implies that each hospital did not buy supplies that had cost Worley $30,000 for each. Based on this assumed fact from the case, the total revenue that Worley would collect from the two hospitals after keying in the selling and distribution and head office fixed costs, to get a total cost of $38,541.00 and adding the 5% markup, the revenue that Worley would receive would be $40,468.05 ($38,541 x 1.05).

Suppose output is $35 billion, government purchases are $10 billion, desired consumption is $15 billion, and desired investment is $6 billion. Net foreign lending would be equal to
Answer:
Net foreign lending would be equal to $4 billion.
Explanation:
This can be computed using the formula for computing the total output of an open economy as follows:
Y = C + G + I + NX .................................. (1)
Where;
Y = Total Output = $35 billion
C = Desired consumption = $15 billion
G = Government purchases = $10 billion
I = Desired investment = $6 billion
NX = Net foreign lending = ?
Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for NX, we have:
$35 = $15 + $10 + $6 + NX
$35 - $15 - $10 - $6 = NX
NX = $4 billion
Therefore, net foreign lending would be equal to $4 billion.

You own two different energy drink brands with similar elasticities: "Blue Cow" and "600 minute energy." If you reduce the price on "Blue Cow", you can only increase your total sales if
Answer: b. Prices for “600 minute energy” are reduced
Explanation:
The drinks have similar elasticities so they are substitutes. This means that reducing the price of one will cause people to demand less of the other drink. By reducing the price of "Blue Cow", there will be less demand for "600 minute energy".
To increase total sales therefore, the effects of the decrease in the price of Blue Cow must be counteracted. To do so, the price of 600 minute energy must be reduced as well. This way people will demand the two drinks more. This reduction will draw in people buying other drinks apart from these 2 thereby increasing total sales.
