Barriers to International Trade Countries often use various government regulations to manipulate the amount of goods and services imported from other countries. This activity is important because it will help you to understand the effects of trade protectionism on the overall international trading atmosphere. The goal of this exercise is to challenge your knowledge of the different types of international trade barriers. Select the barrier to international trade that each statement best describes. 1. A complete ban on trade with another country or a prohibition on trading specific types of products, services, or technology to another country 2. A customs duty or tax levied mainly on imports 3. The United States only allows a certain amount of aluminum sheet to come into the country from China 4. The United States recently raised taxes on all imported solar panels in order to attempt to make U.S.-made solar panels more competitive 5. A limit on the numbers of a product that can be imported 6. The United States does not export any materials to North Korea that may help North Korea bolster its nuclear program.
Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
1. Embargoes and sanctions
When a trade embargo or sanctions are in play, depending on the strength of the nation or International organisation that imposed it, countries are not allowed to trade with the country that is under an embargo. Sometimes the trade embargo can be on all products and sometimes just specific sectors are targeted. An example is the current United States embargo on Venezuela which targets their oil sector and as such most countries are avoiding buying Venezuelan oil.
2. Tariffs
This is a method of reducing the amount of a certain good imported from outside. Tariffs are usually introduced to protect the domestic producers and supplier in an economy and work by taxing imports or placing a customs duty on them. They are usually imposed when the imports are cheaper than domestic Production.
3. Import Quota
Another way to protect the domestic economy. In this scenario, a country allows the import of a certain good only up to an extent for a period which is usually a year. For instance, the United States in this scenario could say that in 2020 only 500 megatons of Aluminum are allowed into the country from China. After that, no more is allowed until 2021.
4. Tariff.
This is a Tariff and as earlier explained, is meant to protect the domestic producers by taxing imports that are cheaper.
5. Import Quota.
This is clearly an import Quota as earlier described because the country is limiting the amount of a certain good that can come into it.
6. Embargoes and Sanctions.
This is a clear example of an embargo. The United States is limiting the amount of goods exported to North Korea because they are under sanctions and embargoes. The United States and Western nations do not want to export anything to North Korea that could aid it's Nuclear Industry so it is a targeted embargo on their nuclear industry.
You expect to receive a payment of $600 one year from now. Answer the following questions and show your calculations:
A. The discount rate is 6%. What is the present value of the payment to be received?
B. Suppose that the discount rate rises to 7%. What is the present value of the payment to be received?C. What will cause the present value of a future payment to decline?
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
You expect to receive a payment of $600 one year from now.
A) Discount rate= 6%
We need to use the following formula:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 600 / (1.06)= $566.04
B) Discount rate= 7%
PV= 600 / (1.07)= $560.75
C) The future value of a certain cash flow declines when the interest rate (discount rate) increases or "n" (time) increases.

Suppose that you make a series of annual deposits into a bank account that pays 12% interest. The initial deposit at the end of the first year is $1,200. The deposit amounts increase by $600 in each of the next 5 years. How much would you have immediately after the 6th deposit
Answer:
$20,314.17
Explanation:
To find the 6th deposit, we use the future value formula for each yearly payment.
PV(1 + i) FV
FV (year 1) = $1200(1 + 0.12)5 = $2114.81
FV (year 2) = $1800(1 + 0.12)4 = $2832.33
FV (year 3) = $2400(1 + 0.12)3 = $3371.83
FV (year 4) = $3000(1 + 0.12)2 = $3763.2
FV (year 5) = $3600(1 + 0.12)1 = $4032
PV (year 6) = $4200
Total amount you will have after the 6th deposit is = $20,314.17
Two firms are planning to sell 10 or 20 units of their goods and face the payoff matrix illustrated to the right. What is the Nash equilibrium if both firms make their decisions simultaneously? What strategy does each firm use? A. The game does not have a Nash equilibrium. B. The Nash equilibria are for Firm 1 to produce 10 and Firm 2 to produce 20 and for Firm 1 to produce 20 and Firm 2 to produce 10. C. The Nash equilibrium is for Firm 1 to produce 20 and Firm 2 to produce 10. D. The Nash equilibrium is for Firm 1 and Firm 2 each to produce 10. E. The Nash equilibrium is for Firm 1 to produce 10 and Firm 2 to produce 20
Answer:
D. The Nash equilibrium is for Firm 1 and Firm 2 each to produce 10.
Explanation:
Firm 2
10 units 20 units
10 units 30 / 50 /
Firm 1 30 35
20 units 40 / 20 /
60 20
(firm 1 /
firm 2)
Firm 1's dominant strategy would be to sell 10 units with an expected payoff outcome = 30 + 50 = 80
Firm 2's dominant strategy would be to sell 10 units with an expected payoff outcome = 30 + 60 = 90
Since both firms have the same dominant strategy (to produce 10 units), there is a Nash Equilibrium where both firms produce 10 units and each one earns 30.

Time = 5 years
Rate = 12% at 96 with interest payable on January 1
Discount on issue =500000 × (1 - 0.96) = 20000
Annual discount amortization= 20000/5 = 4000
Interest payable = 500000× 12% = 60000
From the information given in the question; we can have a journal entry to determine the what the straight-line method will include.
So, let have a look at the table below:
Discount on issue 20000

a. Compute 2014 cash-basis net income.
b. Compute 2014 accrual-basis net income.
Answer:
a. $33,000.
b. $36,000.
Explanation:
Net income is calculated as sales minus cost of goods sold, selling, general and administrative expenses, operating expenses, depreciation, interest, taxes, and other expenses. It is also called net earnings.
Now, Cash accounting recognizes revenue and expenses only when money changes hands, but accrual accounting recognizes revenue when it's earned, and expenses when they're billed (but not paid).
a. 2014 Cash-basis net income:
Primo Industries collected $105,000 from customers in 2019
Primo Industries also paid $72,000 for expenses in 2019
=105,000-72,000
=$33,000
b. 2014 accrual-basis net income.
=(105,000-25000+40000)-(72000-30000+42000)
=120000-84000

Global Services is considering a promotional campaign that will increase annual credit sales by $570,000. The company will require investments in accounts receivable, inventory, and plant and equipment. The turnover for each is as follows: Accounts receivable 3 times Inventory 6 times Plant and equipment 1 time All $570,000 of the sales will be collectible. However, collection costs will be 3 percent of sales, and production and selling costs will be 70 percent of sales. The cost to carry inventory will be 6 percent of inventory. Depreciation expense on plant and equipment will be 5 percent of plant and equipment. The tax rate is 30 percent. a. Compute the investments in accounts receivable, inventory, and plant and equipment based on the turnover ratios. Add the three together.
Answer:
The investments in accounts receivable, inventory, and plant and equipment based on the turnover ratios would be the following:
Accounts receivable is $190,000
Inventory is $95,000
Plant and equipment is $570,000
The Total would be of $855,000
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
Global Services is considering a promotional campaign that will increase annual credit sales by $570,000.
Therefore, in order to calculate the the investments in accounts receivable, inventory, and plant and equipment based on the turnover ratios we would have to make the following calculations:
Accounts receivable=$570,000/3=$190,000
Inventory=$570,000/6=$95,000
Plant and equipment=570,000/1=$570,000

The yield to maturity (YTM) on 1-year zero-coupon bonds is 7% and the YTM on 2-year zeros is 8%. The yield to maturity on 2-year-maturity coupon bonds with coupon rates of 14% (paid annually) is 7.9%. a. What arbitrage opportunity is available for an investment banking firm? The arbitrage strategy is to buy zeros with face values of $ 140 and $ 1140 , and respective maturities of one year and two years. b. What is the profit on the activity? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
(a) The arbitrage strategy is to buy zeros with face values of $140 and $1,140 and respective maturities of one and two years, and simultaneously sell the coupon bond.
(b) The profit on the activity equals $0.72 on each bond.
Explanation:
The price of the coupon bond = 140 × PV(7.9%, 2) + 1000 × PV(7.9%, 2)
= 140 × (1-(1/1.079)^2)/0.079 + 1,000/1.079^2
= $1,108.93
If the coupons were withdrawn and sold as zeros individually, then the coupon payments could be sold separately on the basis of the zero maturity yield for maturities of one and two years.
[140/1.07] + [1,140/1.08^2] = $1,108.21.
The arbitrage strategy is to buy zeros with face values of $140 and $1,140 and respective maturities of one and two years, and simultaneously sell the coupon bond.
The profit on the activity equals $0.72 on each bond.

ABC company has just purchased a life truck that has a useful life of 5 years. The engineer estimates that maintenance costs for the truck during the first year will be $1,000. As the truck ages, maintenance costs are expected to increase at a rate of $300 per year over the remaining life. Assume that the maintenance costs occur at the end of each year. The firm wants to set up a maintenance account that earns 12% interest per year. All future maintenance expenses will be paid out of this account. How much does the firm have to deposit in the account now
Answer:
Total amount to be invested today =$1,706.432
Explanation:
The first maintenance cost would occur a year from now, then the Present value will be equal to :
PV = 1,000 × 1.12^(-1)
PV = 892.857
The rest of the maintenance cost represents an annuity .
We will determine the PV of the annuity of $300 discounted at 12% per annum starting in year 2
PV = A × 1- (1+r)^(-n)
A- 300, r= 12%, n= 4
PV in year 1 = 300 × 1 - (1.12)^(-4)= 911.204804
PV in year 0= F × (1+r)^(-n)
= 911.204804 × 1.12^(-1)= 813.57
Total amount to be invested today = 813.57 + 892.85=1706.43
Total amount to be invested today =$1,706.432

Internal Controls for Bank Lending
Pacific Bank provides loans to businesses in the community through its Commercial Lending Department. Small loans (less than $100,000) may be approved by an individual loan officer, while larger loans (greater than $100,000) must be approved by a board of loan officers. Once a loan is approved, the funds are made available to the loan applicant under agreed-upon terms. Pacific Bank has instituted a policy whereby its president has the individual authority to approve loans up to $5,000,000. The president believes that this policy will allow flexibility to approve loans to valued clients much quicker than under the previous policy.
Answer the following True or False questions related to the scenario.
1. All loans have the same element of risk, so it doesn't matter if the loan is large or small.
2. Allowing the bank president to have sole authority to grant large loans is fine since he or she is president.
3. Large loans present greater risk in the event of default, therefore you should have more than one person involved in making the decision to grant a large loan.4. Having one person grant loans is good internal control.
Answer:
1. False
The higher the figure, the higher the risk. Kindly note that loans are usually insured against default. The higher the amount insured, the higher the premium payable as insurance on such amounts.
2. False
It does not make for good internal control to have one person regardless of their position to have the final say on loans of great magnitude such as $5 Million. This can quickly degenerate into a situation where the officer involved is tempted to abuse that power. It makes for good corporate governance and risk management to ensure that the board is responsible for loans of such magnitude.
3. True
If a bank lost $100 in a thousand places, from loan default, that translates to a loss of $100,000. This relatively is large however it is small and will have less impact that a loss of a million dollars in 3 places. That's $ 3,000,000.
As already indicated, it makes for good loan disbursement governance, to ensure that there is at least two persons involved in the risk acceptance criteria (RAC) evaluation and loan disbursement process.
4. False
Separation of duties is the foundation of good internal control. It allows for greater objectivity. It is also key to carefully select signatories to loan disbursements. They have to be people of impeccable character and the company must exercise proper risk management to ensure that every protocol such as opportunity that may create the impulse or inclination to breach policy is removed completely.

An investment is expected to generate annual cash flows forever. The first annual cash flow is expected in 1 year and all subsequent annual cash flows are expected to grow at a constant rate annually. We know that the cash flow expected in 4 years from today is expected to be $7500 and the cash flow expected in 5 years from today is expected to be $9000. What is the cash flow expected to be in 2 years from today?
Answer:
$5,208
Explanation:
First we need to calculate the growth rate using following formula
Growth Rate = (Final Value - Initial Value) / Initial Value
Placing Values in the formula = ($9,000 - $7,500) / $7,500 = $1,500 / $7,500 = 0.2 = 20%
As the cash flow in growing on constant rate of 20%. We need to calculate the prior years cash flow using following formula.
Cash Flow after growth = Current Cash flow ( 1 + growth rate)
Year 3 cash flow
$7,500 = Cash Flow of Year 3 ( 1 + 20% )
Cash Flow of Year 3 = $7,500 / 120%
Cash Flow of Year 3 = $6,250
Year 2 cash flow
$6,250 = Cash Flow of Year 2 ( 1 + 20% )
Cash Flow of Year 3 = $6,250 / 120%
Cash Flow of Year 3 = $5,208
Suppose that, in a competitive market without government regulations, the equilibrium price of rental cars is $58 per day.Complete the following table by indicating whether each of the statements is an example of a price ceiling or a price floor and whether it is binding or nonbinding.Statement Price Control and Binding or NotThe government prohibits car-rental companies from renting out rental cars for more than $87 per day. Price Control (Price Ceiling Or Price Floor)?_______ Binding or Not Binding?_______Due to new regulations, car-rental companies that would like to pay better wages in order to hire more workers are prohibited from doing so. Price Control (Price Ceiling Or Price Floor)?_______ Binding or Not Binding?_______The government has instituted a legal minimum price of $87 per day for rental cars. Price Control (Price Ceiling Or Price Floor)?_________ Binding or Not Binding?_______
Answer:
1. Price ceiling non binding
2. Price ceiling, binding
3. Price floor binding
Explanation:
A price ceiling is when the government or an agency of the government sets the maximum price for a good or service.
Price ceiling is binding if it is set below equilibrium price.
A price floor is when the government or an agency of the government sets the minimum price for a good or service.
Price floor is binding when it is set above minimum price.
If equilibrium price is $58 and the maximum price set by the government is $87. This is a price ceiling but it is not binding because it is above equilibrium price.
If the minimum price is $87. It is an example of A price floor and it is binding because it is set above equilibrium price.
If car rentals want to pay their workers more but can't do it because of new regulations, I it means it's a price ceiling and it is binding.

A manufacturing company preparing to build a new plant is considering three potential locations for it. The fixed and variable costs for the three alternative locations are presented below.
a. complete a numeric locational cost-volume analysis
b. Indicate over what range each of the alternatives A, B, C is the low-cost choice
c. Is any alternative never perferred? Explain
Cost A B C
Fixed ($) 2,500,000 2,000,000 3,500,000
Vaiable ($ per unit) 21 25 15
Answer:
Explanation:
Total cost is equal to fixed cost (the cost that does not vary with the amount of products manufactured) + variable cost
Fixed cost in this case, is the cost of building a new plant in either location.
The volume of production of this manufacturing company should be given but since it is absent, we will assume a uniform volume which is 50 units. This is quantity or number of products manufactured.
From the information provided in the question, we can derive the total cost function for each location.
Location A
TC = $2,500,000 + $21Q
Location B
TC = $2,000,000 + $25Q
Location C
TC = $3,500,000 + $15Q
Testing the level of total cost for each location, we can use the uniform quantity of 50 units. This will fetch the following levels of total cost for the locations:
Location A - $2,501,050
Location B - $2,001,250
Location C - $3,500,750
From this, we can tell the costliest location is LOCATION C. The low-cost choice is LOCATION B.
If in actual fact, the quantity of products produced in each location is different, not uniform, use the different quantities to calculate the total cost of producing at each location.
According to supply-side fiscal policy, increasing tax rates on wages and profits will: Group of answer choices result in higher unemployment and inflation. reduce both unemployment and the price level. lower the price level but raise unemployment. increase the real output as well as the price level.
Answer:
The correct answer is the third option: lower the price level but raise unemployment.
Explanation:
To begin with, supply-side fiscal policies are the ones that tend to benefit the supply that an economy puts with the purpose of increasing it believing that the raise of it will cause an increase in the level of production of the economy. Secondly, if tax rates on wages and profits increase then the firms will have less income in order to hire more workers to produce more and therefore that the level of unemployment will increase. And if the unemployment increases then the price level will decrease due to the fact that the firms will not have many workers to pay and therefore they will lower the prices in order to sell more because of its low costs regarding wages
The First National Bank of Nelsonville has no excess reserves when a new deposit of $10,000 is made. The required reserve ratio for all banks is 5 percent. How much is the largest possible increase in checking account balances throughout the entire banking system
Answer:
$950
Explanation:
Reserve ratio is defined as the percentage amount of deposit that a bank is instructed by the governing central bank to keep as cash reserve. This is used to control the money supply in the economy as the the check - able amount that are subjected to withdrawal is limited to the funds available after the reserve ratio has been considered.
Workings
New deposit - $10,000
Required reserve ratio - 5%
No existing excess ratio as at the time of deposit.
Reserve ratio - 5%*10000 = 50
Increase in checking account = 1000-50
= $950
The Wilson Company purchased $35,000 of merchandise from the Poole Wholesale Company. Wilson also paid $2,800 for freight costs to have the goods shipped to its location.Which of the following statements regarding the necessary entries for the transactions is true? Wilson uses a perpetual inventory system.
A. Total debits to the inventory account would be $37,800.
B. Total debits to the inventory account would be $35,000.
C. Transportation-in would be debited for $2,800.
D. Total debits to the inventory account would be $2,800
Answer:
Option A, total debits to the inventory account would be $37,800, is correct
Explanation:
The cost of the merchandise inventory to Wilson Company is the cost of the inventory purchased and the freight-in cost.
In other words, the amount to be recognized in merchandise inventory account is the sum of both amounts i.e $35,000+$2800=$37,800
This would be debited to merchandise inventory and $2,800 would be credited to the cash account while $35,000 is credited to accounts payable
