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
Assume that a hypothetical economy with an MPC of 0.8 is experiencing severe recession. a. By how much would government spending have to rise to shift the aggregate demand curve rightward by $25 billion
Answer:
$5 billion
Explanation:
Calculation of how much would government spending have to rise
The MPC will be :0.8
First step
Using multiplier =1/1-0.8
=1/0.2
=5
Second step is to calculate the amount of the rise in government spending
=25/5
=$5 billion
Therefore the amount that the government spending would have to rise to shift the aggregate demand curve rightward by $25 billion will be $5 billion
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
What are some of the possible consequences of financial distress? I) Bondholders, who face the prospect of getting only part of their money back, will likely want the company to take additional risks. II) Equity investors would like the company to cut its dividend payments to conserve cash. III) Equity investors would like the firm to shift toward riskier lines of business.
Answer:

Hence, the third option is correct as the firm would shift to the riskier business lines
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].
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.

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
Aurora Corporation operated without insurance coverage for the first month of operations. Then, on February 1, the company paid the $4,800 premium on a two-year insurance policy with benefits beginning on that date. The company uses the accrual basis. How much insurance expense will be reported on the company's income statement for their first year ended December 31?

Insurance Expense $4,400 (debit)
Prepaid Insurance $4,400 (credit)
Insurance Expense Calculation = $4,800 × 11/ 12 = $4,400.
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.
A decrease in the discount rate: Group of answer choices leads to an increase in the interbank rate charged by commercial banks. causes an increase in the federal funds rate. increases reserve holdings of the commercial banks. lowers the cost of borrowing from the Fed. decreases the money supply.
Answer:
lowers the cost of borrowing from the Fed.
Explanation:
The discount rate is the rate that the Fed charges to commercial banks for overnight loans. This loans are only made when commercial banks have no other option, and represent one of the Fed's main functions: acting as lender of last resort.
When the Fed lowers the discount rate, commercial banks can access the Fed as lender of last resort at cheaper interest rates.
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.
Suppose the comedy club had a monopoly and a marginal cost of $7 per entrant. Suppose the club could perfectly price-discriminate. That is, it could charge each customer a different price equal to his or her maximum willingness to pay. How many tickets would the comedy club sell
Answer:
Seven
Explanation:
The correct answer to the given question is 7. The comedy club has a monopoly that is why the entrants are price discriminated and the maximum willingness to pay is charged by each customer. However the data shows that seven customers are willing to pay different prices for the entry to the comedy club. So the correct answer is 7 tickets which can be sold when price discriminating.
The management of Arnold Corporation is considering the purchase of a new machine costing $430,000. The company's desired rate of return is 10%.

However, the employer is not liable to compensate independent contractors for accidents as the duty of care is not upon the employer in the case of independent contractors which means that the independent workers are obliged to take all necessary precautions to avoid any injury because it will not be compensated by the employer. Thus, the employer is not liable to compensate independent contractors and option D is correct.
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

A person borrows $100,000 from the bank for 6 months at an annual simple interest rate of 5%, what steps do you take to determine how much principal and interest are due at the end of the 6 months to determine how much he/she needs to pay to the bank? Please describe how you would solve.

Simple interest is
= Principal × rate of interest × number of months ÷ (total number of months in a year)
= $100,000 × 5% × (6 months ÷ 12 months)
= $2,500
The total amount would she paid is
= Principal + interest
= $100,000 + $2,500
= $102,500
