Suppose the price for one gallon of gasoline rises from $3.50 to $4.00 and the price of one gallon of milk rises from $3.00 to $3.20 . If the CPI rises from 120 to 132, then people likely will buy:_________.
a. more gasoline and more milk.
b. more gasoline and fewer milk.
c. less gasoline and more milk.
d. less gasoline and fewer milk.
Answer:
c. less gasoline and more milk.
Explanation:
The increase in price of gasoline = $3.50 to $4
The increase in price of milk = $3 to $3.20
The increase in CPI = 120 to 132
Current price as per CPI of Gasoline should be = (132 /120) * $3.5 = ($3.85)
The price of milk considering the CPI = (132/120) * $3 = 1.1*3 = $3.3
Since the actual price of milk is lower than the price of $3.3. thus more of milk will be demanded. So option c. “less gasoline and more milk” is correct.
Sales associate A and sales associate B work for the same firm. They agree to divide their region into an eastern half and a western half; sales associate A will handle listings in the east, and sales associate B will handle listings in the west. Which statement is TRUE
Answer: C) The agreement does not violate antitrust laws.
Explanation:
Anti-trust laws in the United States are laws enacted at both federal and state level with the aim of protecting consumers by ensuring fair competition amongst firms. As such, these laws target things such as monopolies, price fixing and market allocation.
The sales associates are currently engaging in market allocation. However, this does not violate anti-trust laws because they work for the same firm and will be offering the same services and prices to people in either area and it is still the same firm covering both areas.
Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge beer consumers a tax. Before the tax, 10 billion cases of beer were sold every year at a price of $7 per case. After the tax, 5 billion cases of beer are sold every year; consumers pay $9 per case (including the tax), and producers receive $6 per case.
a. The amount of the tax on a case of beer is ($_____) per case. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is ($_____) per case, and the burden that falls on producers is ($_____) per case.
b. (True or False) The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been smaller if the tax had been levied on producers.
Answer:
$3
$2
$1
false
Explanation:
Tax is a compulsory sum levied by the government on goods and services. it increases the price of the good
Tax on a case of beer = amount consumers pay after the tax has been levied - amount producers receive = $9 - $6 = $3
Burden on consumers = amount consumers pay after the tax has been levied on the cases of beer - amount consumers pay before tax was levied on cases of beer = $9 - $7 = $2
Burden on producers = Tax on a case of beer - Burden on consumers = $3 - $2 = $1
false. producers are already being taxed

Suppose the federal government wishes to purchase goods and services valued at $200 billion today and finances these expenditures by raising taxes. According to some economists, this will lead to ▼ a lower a higher level of national consumption and ▼ a lower a higher level of national savings than if the expenditure had been financed by selling bonds left parenthesis borrowing right parenthesis. If the economy is operating at full employment and the federal government increases its borrowing, A. aggregate expenditures and real GDP will rise more rapidly. B. taxes will be raised immediately. C. the tax burden on future generations will be lessened. D. investment will be crowded out.
Answer:
lower national consumption, higher national saving;
D, investment will be crowded out.
Explanation:
If the Federal government is to purchase goods and services and taxes are to be used to finance the purchase, this can economically mean that the government will have to save more of the taxes collected and reduce how much it spends. This will mean that the government is not going to borrow funds to finance the purchase which is another option.
On the other hand, if the government was running at full employment and then increases its borrowing, it means that one or more sectors of the market economy will be affected due to the government's increased interference in another sector as it tries to raise funds for the purchase of goods and services. This also means that private investments will thin out to the barest minimum.

Suppose that the production of $500,000 worth of steel in the United States requires $100,000 worth of iron ore. The U.S. nominal tariff rates are 15 percent for steel and 5 percent for iron ore. Given this information, the effective rate of protection for the U.S. steel industry is approximately
Answer:
The effective rate of protection for the U.S. steel industry is approximately 17.5%
Explanation:
Mathematically, the effective rate of protection is calculated as follows;
e = (n-ab)/(1-a)
where n is the nominal tariff rate on the final product , a is the ratio of the value of the imported input to the value of the finished product and b is the nominal tariff rate on the imported input
Mathematically;
a = value of iron ore/value of steel = 100,00/500,000 = 1/5 = 0.2
From the question, we can see that nominal tariff rate for steel n = 15% = 15/100 = 0.15
The nominal rate for iron ore b = 5% = 5/100 = 0.05
So we substitute all of these into the equation of e above
e = {0.15-0.2(0.05)}/(1-0.2) = (0.15-0.01)/0.8 = 0.14/0.8 = 0.175 which is same as 17.5%

Gary Sirota sees the proposed Bajagua Project as a win-win scenario for the public due to the larger treatment capacity of the proposed plant and the lower cost per gallon. How might Serge Dedina respond
Answer:
the private sector should never build a plant, regardless of benefits, because water is a public resource that needs public oversight
Explanation:
The win-win situation refers to the situation in which each one is happy as a result that arrives is best and beneficial for the company
Since in the question, it is mentioned that there is a win-win scenario as there is a larger treatment for the public at a lower cost per gallon
Therefore by this, the private sector should never develop that plant i.e water as it is a resource that is consumed by the public irrespective of their benefits

Q-mart failed to include inventory that was kept in a separate warehouse in its 12/31 end-of-the-period inventory count. Consequently, the ending inventory on 12/31 was understated on the balance sheet. Explain how this error will effect the income statement. (Check all that apply.)
Answer:
If the ending inventory was understated, that means that the cost of goods sold will be overstated. If the cost of goods sold was overstated, then net profits were understated.
Explanation:
Imagine a company that sells shoes:
It bought 100 shoes at $100 each during the whole year and their ending inventory was 10 units. This means that cost of goods sold was (100 - 10) x $100 = $9,000. But someone discovered 5 pairs in some shelf that were not included in the ending inventory, then the real ending inventory was 15 units = $1,500 and not $1,000. That also means that the cost of goods sold was $8,500, not $9,000. Lower costs = higher profits.
Answer:
Explanation:
The current year's cost of goods will be too high
The current year's income will be too low
A typing instructor builds a regression model to investigate what factors determine typing speed for students with two months of instruction. Her regression equation looks like: Y' = 11 + 7x1 + 5x2 + 3x3 where: Y' = typing speed in words per minute; x1= hours of instruction per week; x2= hours of practice per week; x3 = hours of typing per week necessary for school or work;
Answer:
The range that has a 95.45% probability that that student's typing speed will be in two months is [49.5, 65.5].
Explanation:
The compete question is:
A new student is taking 2 hrs of typing instruction per week, will practice 5 hrs per week and must type 2.5 hours per week for work. If the standard error of the estimate is 4, within what range do we have a 95.45% probability that that student's typing speed will be in two months?
Solution:
The regression equation formed by the typing instructor to investigate what factors determine typing speed for students with two months of instruction is as follows:
[tex]Y' = 11 + 7x_{1} + 5x_{2} + 3x_{3}[/tex]
Here,
Y' = typing speed in words per minute
x₁ = hours of instruction per week
x₂ = hours of practice per week
x₃ = hours of typing per week necessary for school or work
Compute the value of Y' for the given values of x₁, x₂ and x₃ as follows:
[tex]Y' = 11 + 7x_{1} + 5x_{2} + 3x_{3}[/tex]
[tex]=11+(7\times 2)+(5\times 5)+(3\times 2.5)\\=11+14+25+7.5\\=57.5[/tex]
So, the typing speed of this student in words per minute is 57.5.
The range providing the (1 - α)% prediction interval for values of Y' is:
[tex]Y=[Y'\pm t_{\alpha/2, (n-2)}\times SE][/tex]
Since the data selected is for 2 months the sample size is too large.
The critical value of t is 2.
Compute the range as follows:
[tex]Y=[Y'\pm t_{\alpha/2, (n-2)}\times SE][/tex]
[tex]=[57.5\pm 2\times 4]\\\\=[57.5\pm 8]\\\\=[49.5, 65.5][/tex]
Thus, the range that has a 95.45% probability that that student's typing speed will be in two months is [49.5, 65.5].
Mountain Gear has been using the same machines to make its name brand clothing for the last five years. A cost efficiency consultant has suggested that production costs may be reduced by purchasing more technologically advanced machinery. The old machines cost the company $360,000. The old machines presently have a book value of $136,000 and a market value of $28,000. They are expected to have a five-year remaining life and zero salvage value. The new machines would cost the company $260,000 and have operating expenses of $19,000 a year. The new machines are expected to have a five-year useful life and no salvage value. The operating expenses associated with the old machines are $46,000 a year. The new machines are expected to increase quality, justifying a price increase, and thereby increasing sales revenue by $26,000 a year. Select the true statement.
A. The company will be $44,000 better off over the 5-year period if it replaces the old equipment.
B. The company will be $72,000 better off over the 5-year period if it keeps the old equipment.
C. The company will be $33,000 better off over the 5-year period if it replaces the old equipment.
D. The company will be $28,000 better off over the 5-year period if it replaces the old equipment.
Answer:
C. The company will be $33,000 better off over the 5-year period if it replaces the old equipment.
Explanation:
keep old machine:
operating expenses = $46,000 x 5 = $230,000
new machine:
purchase cost $260,000 - $28,000 = $232,000
operating expenses = $19,000 x 5 = $95,000
increase in revenue $26,000 x 5 = $130,000
if new machine is purchased, operating costs decrease by $135,000, revenues increase by $130,000, but investment outflows increase by $232,000 ⇒ $135,000 + $130,000 - $232,000 = $33,000

Paradise Travels is an all-equity firm that has 6,000 shares of stock outstanding at a market price of $34 a share. The firm's management has decided to issue $40,000 worth of debt and use the funds to repurchase shares of the outstanding stock. The interest rate on the debt will be 7 percent. What are the earnings per share at the break-even level of earnings before interest and taxes? Ignore taxes.
Answer:
$2.38
Explanation:
Number of shares purchased
= $40,000 / $34
= $1,176
EBIT / 6,000 = [EBIT - ($40,000 * 0.07)] / (6,000 - 1176)
EBIT / 6,000 = (EBIT - $2,800) / 4,824
4,824 EBIT = 6000 EBIT - $16,800,000
1,176 EBIT = $16,800,000
EBIT = $14,285.71
Earning per Shares at Break-even level of earning
= [EBIT - ($40,000 * 0.07)] / (6,000 - 1,176)
= ($14,285.71 - $2,800) / 4,824
= $11,485.71 / 4,824
= $2.38
Pat is a rich boy whose parents supply him with every conceivable necessity of life. While still a minor, Pat buys a coat on credit from a men's store for $5,000. After wearing the coat for a while, Pat decides that it bores him and that he would like to disaffirm. Which of the following is most likely to be true? Assume that Pat is still a minor.
A. Pat can disaffirm the contract, but the store will sue him for deceit.
B. Pat cannot disaffirm the contract, and he is liable for the full price of the coat ($5,000).
C. Pat cannot disaffirm the contract, but he is liable only for the reasonable value of the coat.
D. Pat can disaffirm the contract, and he must return the coat.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Generally speaking, a minor may disaffirm a contract at any time during minority or for a reasonable time after the minor comes of age. When a minor disaffirms a contract, all property that he or she has transferred as consideration can be recovered -- even if it was subsequently transferred to a third party. But to say something is disaffirm is to say it never exsited so therefore the store would be able to sue.
Offshore oil-drilling operations entail an unavoidable risk of an oil spill, but importing oil on tankers presently entails an even greater such risk per barrel of oil. Therefore, if we are to reduce the risk of an oil spill without curtailing our use of oil, we must invest more in offshore operations and import less oil on tankers.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument above.
A) Tankers can easily be redesigned so that their use entails less risk of an oil spill.
B) Oil spills caused by tankers have generally been more serious than those caused by offshore operations.
C) The impact of offshore operations on the environments can be controlled by careful management.
D) Offshore operations usually damage the ocean floor, but tankers rarely cause such damage.
E) Importing oil on tankers is currently less expensive than drilling for it offshores.
Answer:
A) Tankers can easily be redesigned so that their use entails less risk of an oil spill.
Explanation:
The option that if true most seriously weakens the argument above is: tankers can easily be redesigned so that their use entails less risk of an oil spill because the statement says that importing oil on tankers entails a greater risk of an oil spill than offshore oil-drilling and the option chosen directly talks about that and says that the tankers can easily be redesigned to decrease the risks of an oil spill which goes against the argument given.
The other options are not right because the options B and C support the argument given. Also, options D and E doesn't talk about oil spill which is the topic on the argument presented.
Refer to Scenario 15-2. Which of the following statements is most likely to be true? (i) New entrants to the market know they will have a smaller market share than PPCo currently has. (ii) PPCo is most likely experiencing rising marginal cost. (iii) PPCo is a natural monopoly. (iv) PPCo is most likely experiencing declining average total cost.
Answer: (i), (iii) and (iv)
Explanation:
PPCo is able to provide the entire needs of the county and and has been in operations for a few years gaining loyal customers and controlling the market. Any company that will want to come in will have to fight them for market dominance and as such will have a smaller market share than PPCo.
As PPCo is meet the demands of everyone in the county, they are most likely experiencing Economies of Scale. This means that they are making more revenue thereby driving total cost down as the fixed costs remain the same but Revenue climbs. This classifies them as a Natural Monopoly because Natural Monopolies experience Economies of Scale and declining average total costs.
