14. Two alternative measures of the overall level of prices are a. the inflation rate and the consumer price index. b. the inflation rate and the GDP deflator. c. the GDP deflator and the consumer price index. d. the cost of living index and nominal GDP
Answer:
c. the GDP deflator and the consumer price index.
Explanation:
Two alternative measures of the overall level of prices are the GDP deflator and the consumer price index.
The GDP deflator can be defined as a measure of the changes in prices for all of the finished goods and services produced domestically in an economy in a particular period of time, usually a year. This simply means that, the gross domestic product deflator measures the inflation in an economy.
Consumer price index (CPI) can be defined as a measure of the aggregate or average changes in price level of a weighted market basket of finished goods and services that consumers purchased over a specific period of time. The CPI is also a measure of the inflation in an economy over a specific period of time.
All of the following statements about GDP are false except Group of answer choices Higher GDP reflects more equal distribution in the economy. Higher the real GDP, happier is the economy. Higher GDP reflects higher economic growth of an economy. Higher GDP reflects better access to education.
Answer:
Higher GDP reflects higher economic growth of an economy
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Net export = exports – imports
When exports exceeds import there is a trade deficit and when import exceeds import, there is a trade surplus.
Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:
1. services not rendered to oneself
2. Activities not reported to the government
3. illegal activities
4. sale or purchase of used products
5. sale or purchase of intermediate products
6. Measures for calculating happiness. so higher GDP doesn't indicate higher happiness
Trina's property is listed with Avalon Homes. The market is a little slow, and Trina's listing is a high-end home, where sales are even slower. She's had several showings, but no offers. The term of the listing agreement is nearly over. What happens when the termination date is reached?
Answer: Listing expires and terminated
Explanation: In the scenario above, Avalon homes only serves to aid the sale of Trina's property and as such will not be held liable for any offense if the property isn't sold within the listing period. Avalon homes isnt responsible for either the slow nature of market at the time or the fact that Trina's property belongs to the high end category which often takes even more time to get a buyer for. Therefore, once the contract period of Trina's listing is reached, the listing expires and it's terminated unless another listing contract is struck between both parties.

Jones Electric Motors uses a Kanban system to make motors for several garage door companies in the southeastern United States. The daily demand for motor housings used in manufacturing is 100 units. The average waiting time for a container of parts is 0.2 day. The processing time for a container of housings is 0.1 day, and a container holds 5 housings. If Jones wishes to use a 10% policy variable, how many containers are needed
Answer:
7 kanban containers are required
Explanation:
Given the following information :
Average Waiting time for containers = 0.2 days
Average processing time = 0.1 days / container
Daily usage (Demand rate) = 100 per day
Container capacity = 5 housings
Policy variable ( Alpha) = 10% = 0.1%
The required number of Kanban containers required by Jones Electric Motor can be calculated thus :
[Number of containers(x) * container size] = (Demand rate (waiting time + processing time)*(1 + alpha))
x * 5 = (100 * (0.2 + 0.1)*(1 + 0.1))
5x = [100 * (0.3)*(1.1)]
5x = [100 * 0.33]
5x = 33
x = 33 / 5
x = 6.6 containers
x = 7

Consider the following payoff matrix facing two criminals. A: Confess A: Not Confess B: Confess A: 20yrs, B: 20yrs A: 50yrs, B: 2yrs B: Not Confess A: 2yrs, B: 50yrs A: 10yrs, B: 10yrs Their options are to confess or not to confess. Given this information:
Answer:
Both A and B have dominant strategies
Explanation:
Consider 2 players "A" and "B" in the specified game. Here, row player is "B" and column player is "A." If "B" chooses "Confess" then "Not Confess" is the optimal choice for "A," because 50 > 20, likewise if "B" chooses "Not Confess," then "Not Confess" is the optimal choice for "A," as 10 > 2. Therefore, we can see that the "Not Confess" is the dominant "A" strategy Similarly we can prove that the prevailing technique for "B" is "Not Confess" too.
Hence, we can see that both player 's approach is successful and from the above explanation, the 2nd option is correct.

a. $70.75 per unit.
b. $47 per unit.
c. $58 per unit.
d. $81.75 per unit.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Each glove requires $22 of direct materials and $18 of direct labor. Variable manufacturing overhead cost is $7 per unit and fixed manufacturing overhead cost is $19,000 in total.
There are two methods to calculate the unitary production costs. The variable costing method and the absorption costing method.
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).
Variable costing method:
Unitary product cost= 22 + 18 + 7= $47
Absorption costing method:
Unitary fixed costs= 19,000/800= 23.75
Unitary product cost= 47 + 23.75= $70.75

There are currently 2,500 shares outstanding and the tax rate is 34 percent. What will be the percentage change in EPS if the economy has a strong expansion?
Which of the following is an example of competitive parity? A firm provides wall clocks that its consumers value more than other wall clocks. A firm sells wall clocks at a lower price than its competitors. A firm produces a similar number of wall clocks at a similar cost as its competitors. A firm manufactures higher-quality wall clocks than its competitors.
Answer:
A firm produces a similar number of wall clocks at a similar cost as its competitors.
Explanation:
Competitive parity, as the name implies, is a situation in which a firm has a similar good or service to that of its competitors. These similarities can manifest in quality, cost, or both.
Im this case, if a firm produces a similar quantity of wall clocks, and sells them at a similar price, then, this firm has a competitive parity with its competitors.
The cost to manufacture one unit of Killian Audio Products' best-selling hearing aid, the Zone, is $67.50. The CFO of the company determines that if the company expands the output of its biggest U.S. plant by 20 percent, the unit cost would be only $42.50. This analysis is based on the concept of
Answer:
Economies of scale
Explanation:
Economies of scale refers to reducing total costs per unit by increasing total output. All companies have certain fixed costs, some companies have higher fixed costs than others, but they always exist. When you are producing something, the cost equation is production costs = variable costs per unit + average fixed costs per unit.
Variable costs vary directly with output, while fixed costs do not, e.g. salaries can be fixed, depreciation, rent, interests, etc. The higher the output, the lower the average fixed cost per unit.
Also, sometimes variable costs can also decrease as total output increases. E.g. you can get higher discounts for purchasing larger quantities of materials and supplies.
Which of the following are true?
a. The NPV is the net value created by investing in an asset. The NPV is only as good as the inputs. The NPV does account for all cash flows as well as time value of money.
b. The IRR is the rate of return an investor would earn on an asset they held to maturity if they could reinvest alll cash flows received in an asset with the same return (i.e. the reinvestment rate assumption of the IRR). The IRR does account for all cash flows.
c. Payback is the amount of time to recover the initial investment. No discounting occurs and all cash flows after the payback period are not accounted for. The rule is intuitive and used by small business owners.
d. All of the above are accurate
e. None of the above are accurate.
Answer:
c. Payback is the amount of time to recover the initial investment. No discounting occurs and all cash flows after the payback period are not accounted for. The rule is intuitive and used by small business owners
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested. The NPV does account for all cash flows as well as time value of money.
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested . The IRR does account for all cash flows.
The discounted payback period discounts cash flows
PLEASE HELP Create a graph to show the effect (shortage or surplus) of raising the minimum wage. Discuss why these issues do or do not affect your claim(My claim is that we should raise minimum wage). Include the appropriate labels for your graph such as: price quantity supply demand surplus or shortage
Answer:
Raising the minimum wage has the effect of producing an excess supply of workers, because the wage is set at a price where supply of workers is higher than the demand of firms for hiring them, and since the wage is not allowed to go any lower, this excess supply remains unsolved.
This situation affects low-skilled workers in particular, and those who are not as productive to be paid the minimum wage, are essentially left out of the labor market.
Demand and supply are the two important factors of the market that determines the economic activities as well as the production and distribution series of the firms.
Demand has an inverse relationship with price and price has a positive relationship with supply. When the price of the quantity goes high, the demand for the quantity decreases, and the supply increases with the increase in price.
In the case of the laborers and the wage. The availability of the labor or the demand of the labor is more and the supply is less, the wages will be high and on the other hand, when the labor will be less demanded and the supply is more, the wages will be less. This is also the minimum higher wage policy of the firms.
The graph has been attached below to analyze the surplus supply.

A coupon bond that pays semiannual interest is reported in the Wall Street Journal as having an ask price of 116% of its $1,000 par value. If the last interest payment was made 3 months ago and the coupon rate is 5.90%, the invoice price of the bond will be _________.
Answer:
1,172.50
Explanation:
Calculation for the invoice price
Since Semiannual is 6 month and the last interest payment was made 3 months ago that means we would have 3 months left.
Using this formula
Invoice price = Flat rate + Accrued interest
let plug in the formula
Invoice price = 1.16(1,000) + 25.00(3/6)
Invoice price=1,160+12.5
Invoice price=1,172.50
Therefore the invoice price will be 1,172.50

The balance sheet of ABC reports total assets of $400,000 and $450,000 at the beginning and end of the year, respectively. The return on assets for the year is 10%. What is ABC's net income for the year?
Answer:
ABC net income for the year is $42,500
Explanation:
Beginning total assets = $400,000
Ending total assets = $450,000
Average total assets = Beginning total assets + Ending total assets ÷ 2
= ($400,000 + $450,000) ÷ 2
= $425,000
Return on assets = 10%
Therefore,
Net income ÷ Average total assets = Return on assets
Net income = Return on assets × Average total assets
Net income = 0.1 × Average total assets
= $425,000 × 0.1
= $42,500
A higher return on assets (ROA) means that the company is more efficient and more productive in controlling its balance sheet to generate profits.
What is a Return on Assets (ROA)?The term return on assets (ROA) refers to a financial measure that shows how much a company makes a profit compared to the total amount of its assets.
