Consider an imaginary economy that has been growing at a rate of 6% per year. Government economists have proposed a number of policies to increase the growth rate but first need to convince the president that the policies will pay off. To do so, they want to present a comparison of the number of years it will take for the economy to double, depending on the growth rate.
Using the rule of 70, determine the number of years it will take the economy to double at each growth rate.Growth rate(Percent Years Required to Double(nearest whole number of years)4 5 6
Answer:
11.67 years
Explanation:
The rule of 70 requires that in determining when the economy growth rate will double its current growth rate, the appropriate thing to do is divide 70 by the current growth rate of 6% per year.
The economy's growth rate of 6% has its percentage ignored when the calculation is carried out.
=70/6= 11.67
The current economy's growth rate would double in 11.67 years' time

A local unemployment office keeps track of the number of new claims filed each day. Based on data collected, it determines that the expected number of new claims filed per day is 2.4 with a standard deviation of 0.8688. Suppose that the office is open five days per week. The expected number of new claims filed per week at this office is ________________________ . A. 4.344 B. 10 C. 12 D. 7.4 E. 5.25
Answer:
C. 12
Explanation:
As the expected number of new claims filed per day is 2.4 and the office is open 5 days per week, to be able to find the expected number of new claims filed per week, you have to multiply the expected number of claims per day for the number of days that the office is open in a week:
Expected number of new claims filed per week= 2.4*5= 12
According to this, the answer is that the expected number of new claims filed per week at this office is 12.
The expected number of new claims filed per week at this office is option C. 12
Calculation of the expected number of new claimed:Since the expected number of new claims filed per day is 2.4 with a standard deviation of 0.8688.
So per week, there is 5 days
So, here the expected number should be
= 2.4*5
= 12
hence, option c is correct.

An investor has $19,000 to invest and believes that the IBM stock price is going to increase in the following 12 months from the current stock price of $200. Call options on IBM stock expiring in 12 months have a strike price of $207 and sell at a premium of $20 each. Assume that the stock price will be $268 per share after 12 months.
a. What will be the investor's rate of return if they buy 450 call options?
b. What will be the investor's rate of return if they buy 45 shares?
Answer:
a.305%
b.34%
Explanation:
If 450 options were bought,the investor would have invested just the amount paid for the options which is $9,000 ($20*450).
On exercising the option,the investor would gain per share the excess of market price over the option exercise price i.e 450*($268-$207)=$27,450.00
return on investment= 27,450/9000=305%
If the investor had bought the shares he would invested $9000 ($200*45)
By selling the shares for $268 return would $3,060 ($268-$200)*45
return on investment=$3,060/$9,000=34%
The Cheyenne Hotel in Big Sky, Montana, has accumulated records of the total electrical costs of the hotel and the number of occupancy-days over the last year. An occupancy-day represents a room rented out for one day. The hotel's business is highly seasonal, with peaks occurring during the ski season and in the summer. Month Occupancy- Days Electrical Costs January 3,250 $ 9,660 February 3,470 $ 10,185 March 3,660 $ 10,360 April 1,760 $ 6,160 May 1,350 $ 4,725 June 4,350 $ 11,575 July 3,280 $ 9,765 August 1,610 $ 5,635 September 700 $ 2,450 October 1,300 $ 4,550 November 1,640 $ 5,740 December 2,220 $ 7,770 Required:
1. Using the high-low method, estimate the fixed cost of electricity per month and the variable cost of electricity per occupancy-day. (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your Variable cost answer to 2 decimal places and Fixed cost element answer to nearest whole dollar amount)
2. What other factors other than occupancy-days are likely to affect the variation in electrical costs from month to month? (You may select more than one answer. Single click the box with the question mark to produce a check mark for a correct answer and double click the box with the question mark to empty the box for a wrong answer.)
Number of days present in a month.
Income taxes paid on hotel income.
Seasonal factors like winter or summer.
Systematic factors like guests, switching off fans and light
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the fixed cost and the variable cost of electricity per occupancy-day by using high low method is shown below:
The Variable cost of electricity per occupancy-day = (High electrical cost - low electrical cost) ÷ (High month occupancy days - low month occupancy days)
= ($11,575 - $2,450) ÷ (4,350 - 700)
= $9,125 ÷ 3,650
= $2.50 per occupancy days
Now the fixed cost equal to
= High electrical cost - (High month occupancy days × Variable cost per occupancy days)
= $11,575 - (4,350 × $2.50)
= $11,575 - $10,875
= $700
The other factors other than the occupancy days affect the variation in electrical costs from month to month is the number of days present in a month as it remains fixed with respect to the occupancy , seasonal factors like winter or summer as in the summer the electrical cost is high as compared in the winter season , and the Systematic factors like guests, switching off fans and light depend on their wish or as per usage.

The capitalist economy comprises two forms of economic organization, the market mechanism operated by prices and the administrative mechanism of firms. a. The market mechanism is referred to as the "visible hand" while the administrative mechanism of firms is referred to as the "invisible hand". b. The market mechanism is referred to as the "invisible hand" while the administrative mechanism of firms is referred to as the "visible hand". c. The simultaneous operation of both "hands" means that the capitalist system is often referred to as an "ambidextrous organization". d. The notion of the capitalist economy as governed by market processes is a myth. In reality the global capitalist economy is controlled by large corporations.
Answer:
Option B: The market mechanism is referred to as the "invisible hand" while the administrative mechanism of firms is referred to as the "visible hand"
Explanation:
The invisible hand of the market mechanism is simply the known first form of the market as it is the point in which individuals and firms make independent decisions and well guided by market prices. Deliberate and conscious global planning is not needed in invisible hand market mechanism.
The visible hand market mechanism is also called administrative mechanism as it involves active planning in coordinating players.
Economic decisions are usually in the hierarchy that is the firm by managers and imposed through a hierarchy.
Steve Drake sells a rental house on January 1, 2019, and receives $100,000 cash and a note for $50,000 at 7 percent interest. The purchaser also assumes the mortgage on the property of $25,000. Steve's original cost for the house was $170,000 on January 1, 2011 and accumulated depreciation was $27,000 on the date of sale. He collects only the $100,000 down payment in the year of sale.
If Steve elects to recognize the total gain on the property in the year of sale, calculate the taxable gain.
Answer:
$32,000
Explanation:
The computation of the taxable gain is shown below;
Taxable gain on sale = Amount Realized - Adjusted Basis
where,
Amount Realized = Cash Received + Note received + Mortgage assumed by Purchaser
= $100,000 +$50,000 + $25,000
= $175,000
And, the adjusted basis is
= Original cost - Accumulated Depreciation
= $170,000 - $27,000
= $143,000
So, the taxable gain on sale is
= $175,000 - $143,000
= $32,000
The gain which is arise from purchasing the asset to the sale of the asset i.e difference in these amounts attract the taxable gain

A. $3.00
B. $3.80
C. $2.92
D. $2.31
Answer:
Option A is correct
Cost per equivalent unit for material - $3
Explanation:
Cost per equivalent unit = Total direct material cost / Total equivalent unit
Equivalent units of materials
Item Equivalent unit
Opening inventory 3000×0% = 0
Fully worked 8,500× 100% = 8,500
Closing inventory 1,500 ×100%= 1,500
Total equivalent units 10,000
Notes:
Fully worked represent the units started and completed in July
Fully worked = newly introduced units in July - Closing inventory in July
Fully worked = 10,000 -1500 = 8,500
Cost per equivalent unit = Total direct material cost / Total equivalent unit
= 30,000/10,000=$3
Cost per equivalent unit for material =$3
Krizun Industries makes heavy construction equipment. The standard for a particular crane calls for 14 direct labor-hours at $16 per direct labor-hour. During a recent period 1,000 cranes were made. The labor efficiency variance was $4,400 Unfavorable. How many actual direct labor-hours were worked
Answer:
14,275= actual hours
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The standard for a particular crane calls for 14 direct labor-hours at $16 per direct labor-hour.
During a recent period, 1,000 cranes were made.
The labor efficiency variance was $4,400 Unfavorable.
To determine the actual hours worked, we need to use the direct labor efficiency variance formula:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
-4,400= (14*1,000 - actual hours)*16
-4,400= 224,000 - 16actual hours
228,400/16= actual hours
14,275= actual hours

A protective put strategy is Multiple Choice a long call plus a short put on the same underlying asset. None of the options are correct. a long put plus a long call on the same underlying asset. a long put plus a long position in the underlying asset. a long put plus a short call on the same underlying asset.
Answer:
a long put plus a long position in the underlying asset.
Explanation:
A protective put strategy is a long put plus a long position in the underlying asset. It is a risk management strategy that makes use of options contracts which are employed by investors to protect or guard their investments against a potential loss in stocks or assets such as commodities, indexes and currencies. The protective put strategy helps to mitigate or limit risk associated with buying stocks for the first time.
Generally, the value of the underlying asset is anticipated to decrease by the buyers while the value of the underlying asset is anticipated by sellers of call options to also decrease.
Hence, considering the prospective option holder, when the exercise price is higher, it means that the call options are worth less. Also, when the exercise price is higher, it means that the put options are worth more.

Nevertire Ltd purchased a delivery van costing $52,000. It is expected to have a residual value of $12,000 at the end of its useful life of 4 years or 200,000 kilometers. Ignore GST.
Required:
a) Assume the van was purchased on 1 July 2019 and that the accounting period ends on 30 June. Calculate the depreciation expense for the year 2019–20 using each of the following depreciation methods
straight-line.
diminishing balance (depreciation rate has been calculated as 31%).
units of production (assume the van was driven 78,000 kilometers during the financial year).
b) Record the adjusting entries for the depreciation on 30 June 2021 using a diminishing balance method.
c) Show how the van would appear in the balance sheet prepared at the end of year 2 using the Straightline method.
Answer:
a.
Straight line method
This method gives a uniform depreciation figure over the lifetime of the asset. Formula is,
= ( Cost - Residual Value) / Useful life
= (52,000 - 12,000) / 4
= $10,000
Diminishing Balance Method
This method applies depreciation at a faster rate so that the assets depreciates faster in it's earlier years.
Formula is,
= Cost * Depreciation rate
= 52,000 * 31%
= $16,120
Units of Production
This method depreciates based on the usage of the asset vs the total capacity of the asset. Assuming the van was driven 78,000 kilometers during the financial year
Formula is,
= (( Cost - Residual value) * units for the year) / Estimated production capacity
= ((52,000 - 12,000)*78,000)/200,000
= 3,120,000 / 200,000
= $15,600

May 15 26 10 260 26 10 260
May 24 39 11 429 26 11 286
Total 93 941 80
1) Weighted average unit cost = 941/93 = $10.118
FIFO method
2)Ending inventory (93-80)*11 =$ 143
FIFO method assumes that the first set of inventory are the first to be sold
LIFO method
LIFO assumes that the last set of inventory are the first to be sold
Goods Sold Cost Total
39 11 429
26 10 260
15 9 135
Ending Inventory = (93-80)*9 = $117
Average Cost Method
Ending Inventory = 13 * 10.118 =$131.534
During April, the production department of a process manufacturing system completed a number of units of a product and transferred them to finished goods. Of these transferred units, 60,000 were in process in the production department at the beginning of April and 240,000 were started and completed in April. April's beginning inventory units were 60% complete with respect to materials and 40% complete with respect to conversion. At the end of April, 82,000 additional units were in process in the production department and were 80% complete with respect to materials and 30% complete with respect to conversion.
1. Compute the number of units transferred to finished goods.
2. Compute the number of equivalent units with respect to both materials used and conversion used in the production department for April using the weighted-average method.
Answer:
a) Units transferred = 218,000 units
b)
Equivalent units of material 283,600
Equivalent units of conversion cost 283,600
Explanation:
a) units transferred out
Units transferred = opening inventory + newly introduced - closing inventory
= 60,000 + 240,000 - 82,000= 218,000
Units transferred = 218,000 units
Equivalent units for material
Items units Equivalent units
Transferred out 218,000 100%×218,000 218,000

Equivalent units of material 283,600
Equivalent units of conversion cost 283,600
The MoMi Corporation’s cash flow from operations before interest and taxes was $5.6 million in the year just ended, and it expects that this will grow by 5% per year forever. To make this happen, the firm will have to invest an amount equal to 16% of pretax cash flow each year. The tax rate is 35%. Depreciation was $380,000 in the year just ended and is expected to grow at the same rate as the operating cash flow. The appropriate market capitalization rate for the unleveraged cash flow is 12% per year, and the firm currently has debt of $7.3 million outstanding. Use the free cash flow approach to value the firm’s equity. (Round answer to nearest whole number. Enter your answer in dollars not in millions.)
Answer:
Value of the firm = $ 43155000
Value of the firm's equity = $ 35855000
Explanation:
The objective of this question is to determine the value of the firm and the value of the firm's equity
Cash flow from operations =( 5.6 million + 5% of 5.6 million ) = 5880000
Depreciation = ( 380000 + 5% of 380,000 ) = 399000
Taxable income = 5880000 - 399000 = 5481000
Net income (after tax) = ( 5481000 - 35% of 5481000 ) = 3562650
Cash flow from operations (after tax) = 3562650 + 399000 = 3961650 ( which is the depreciation, being non-cash expense)
However, The Free cash flow available = Cash flow from operations (after tax) - Income from investment
= 3961650 - ( 5600000 × 16% × 1.05)
= 3961650 - 940800
= 3020850
Value of the firm = Free cash flow available / (Capitalization rate - Growth rate)
Value of the firm = 3020850 / 0.12 - 0. 05
Value of the firm = 3020850 / 0.07
Value of the firm = $ 43155000
Value of the firm's equity = Total value of firm - Value of debt of firm
Value of the firm's equity = $ 43155000 - $ 7300000
Value of the firm's equity = $ 35855000

a. Present one recent instance (within the last 50 years only) whereby a language, custom or national culture has been lost or diminished by the elimination or blurring of an existing border via globalization. (Please select non-U.S. examples)
b. By extension, how have global oligopolies benefited from the decrease in local competition?
Answer: 1. A. China in Zambia
B. Increased Market Share
Explanation:
A. China in Zambia
For years now many have worried about Chinese influence in China and what they view as subtle attempts by China to engage in modern day Colonialism through methods such as Predatory Loaning practices.
One glaring example is that of Zambia.
There are several ways in which the Chinese have established a foothold in Zambia and are making the country lose its sovereignty and national culture.
1. Loans for Infrastructure
China has invested massively in Zambia which is a big Copper exporter to enable them mine and capture the Copper that Zambia has for use in production in China. In the last 6 years, Zambia has embarked on over 29 projects all funded by about $9 billion in Chinese loans. With such loans being owed, the amount of Chinese influence will be great.
2. Small Scale Entrepreneurs
Chinese people have emigrated to Zambia in droves and some of them have started street level businesses also called Chinese Shops where they sell every day goods ranging from AA batteries to bicycles. These put pressure and compete with local Entrepreneurs who might not be able to get those goods as cheaply as the Chinese can from China. This as well as the importation of Chinese goods and services to feed the Chinese people involved has led to Zambian adopting Chinese foods and goods for themselves as well.
3. Political Interference
With such a huge investment in Zambia, many have noted with concern that China often meddles in the politics of the Southern African nations by picking candidates that will be more friendly to their Economic aspirations. This directly leads to a loss of sovereignty as well as an erosion in the independence of the national culture.
2. Oligopolies refer to firms that exist in an industry that has very few competitors and with the less competitions have a chance to make huge profits. Getting into the industries they operate in can be quite difficult due to high start-up costs as well as already well established competition. These include industries like the Motor and Aeroplane manufacturing industries.
As a result of Globalization, these companies have spread across the globe and as they are already established, they have the unique opportunity to charge less for their goods due to Economies of Scale. This allowed them to discourage local manufacturers in the newer companies they came to which could not hope to compete with such giants. This enabled the Oligopolies to capture the market share that the local competitors gave up thereby increasing the market share of these Oligopolies and by extension their Profitability.
Alanco, Inc. manufactures a variety of products and is currently manufacturing all of their own component parts. An outside supplier has offered to sell one of those components to Alanco. To evaluate this offer, the following information has been gathered relating to the cost of producing the component internally:
Direct Materials $4
Direct Labor $6
Variable Manufacturing Overhead $2
Fix Manufacturing Overhead, Traceable* $5
Fix Manufacturing Overhead, Common but Allocated $8
Total Cost $25.00
Supplier Price = $21
Units Per Year = 12,000
Fix manufacturing overhead, traceable is composed of two items:
Depreciation of Equipment: 30%
Supervisor Salary: 70%
Assuming the company has no alternative use for the facilities now being used to produce the component, complete the following analysis to determine if the outside supplier's offer should be accepted.
Based on this analysis, write an if statement to determine if Alanco should make or buy the component.
Alanco should ............. the component.

Based on this analysis, wrie an if statement to determine if Alanco should make or buy the component. Alanco should the _____________component
Answer:
If the company decides to purchase the component from the outside supplier, its operating income will decrease by $66,000 per year. Therefore, Alanco should keep producing the component.
Explanation:
cost of producing the component (per unit):
direct materials $4
direct labor $6
variable manufacturing overhead $2
fixed manufacturing overhead, traceable $5 (non avoidable $1.50)
fixed manufacturing overhead, not traceable $8
total cost per unit = $25
units per year = 12,000
price offered by supplier $21 per unit
alternative A alternative B differential

purchase cost $0 $252,000 ($252,000)
avoidable man.
costs $186,000 $0 $186,000
total $186,000 $252,000 ($66,000)
if the company decides to purchase the component from the outside supplier, its operating income will decrease by $66,000 per year.
Based on the make or buy analysis, Alanco Inc. should continue to manufacture the 12,000 components annually.
It will save $66,000 if it makes the components internally but loses the same amount if it buys it from the outside supplier.
Data and Calculations:
Relevant / avoidable costs:
Direct Materials $4
Direct Labor $6
Manufacturing Overhead $2
Supervisor's salary $3.5 ($70% x $5)
Variable manufacturing cost per unit = $15.50
Supplier Price = $21
Units Per Year = 12,000
Total relevant cost of production = $186,000 ($15.50 x 12,000)
Total relevant cost of outside purchase = $252,000 ($21 x 12,000)
Difference in cost = $66,000 ($252,000 - $186,000)
Thus, Alanco should continue to manufacture 12,000 units of the components annually instead of buying from the supplier.

The Fed intervened aggressively following the 2008 failure but remained largely inactive for several years following the 1930 failure. C.

Answer: 1. B. The Fed did not want to be viewed as rewarding the poor business decisions of the bank's managers.
2. D. The Fed feared that assisting Lehman Brothers would increase the extent of moral hazard in the financial system.
3. B. The Fed intervened aggressively following the 2008 failure but remained largely inactive for several years following the 1930 failure.
Explanation:
1. In 1930 when the Great Depression was at it's early stages, the Central Bank could have done some things that would have reduced it's impact on the world but they remained passive and did little. One of the reasons was that there was a lack of cohesion between the Fed Districts and some of the directors subscribed to the "liquidationist" which meant that companies that engaged in adverse financial decisions be allowed to fail to as to prune the financial system and make it better. This contributed to the failure to help the Bank of the United States.
2. The Fed did not want to be seen as aiding Moral Hazard when they refused to bail out the Lehman Brothers in 2008. The Lehman Brothers had engaged in very risky transactions that brought it to ruin in 2008 and the Central Bank did not want to encourage the precedent of saving Banks that did so. Moral Hazard is when a risky action is engaged in by a company or person because they will not pay for the risk if things go awry. For example, a person with car insurance might drive more recklessly because they know that if the car crashes, the insurance will cover it. This is what the Fed did not want to encourage. A situation where Banks would engage in risky actions knowing that the Fed would back them up.
3. In the 1930s during the Great Depression, the Fed did not do enough to stem the depression because there was not coordination amongst the districts. They could not agree on a way forward and so did little. They even admitted their failure when in 2002, a member of the Board of Governors called Ben Bernanke said they could have done more.
In 2008 though, the Fed stepped in to help the economy get back on track. They reduced Interest rates and poured money into the economy through various ventures that helped the American public amongst others. Their actions ensured that the 2008 financial crises did not last as long as the Great Depression.
