Answer:
D. the combinations of output and the interest rate where the goods market is in equilibrium.
Explanation:
The IS curve means investment-savings curve.
The IS curve is the combinations of output and the interest rate where the goods market is in equilibrium.
It is a curve which shows the different combinations of income (Y) and the real interest rate (r) such that the market for goods and services is in equilibrium.
This means that, every point on the IS curve is an income/real interest rate pair (Y,r) such that the demand for goods is equal to the supply of goods(Qs=Qd) or equivalently, the desired national saving is equal to desired investment.
Answer:
d. the combinations of output and the interest rate where the goods market is in equilibrium.
Explanation:
British economist John Hicks was the first to introduce the IS-LM model in 1937, where IS stands for Investment-Savings and LM stands for Liquidity preference-Money supply. It is a Keynesian macroeconomic model that gives the relationship between the market for economic goods (Investment-Savings) and the money market (Liquidity preference-Money supply). The IS-LM model is a graphical representation of Keynesian economic theory.
The IS curve represents the combinations of output and the interest rate where the goods market is in equilibrium. When there's an increase in government spending, the IS curve would shift to the right on the graph.
Also, when there's an increase in the interest rate, it causes investment spending to decrease as the IS curve shifts to the left with respect to economy.

Answer:
The value of "[tex]\bold{q_1=2.5}[/tex]".
Explanation:
Given value:
[tex]U= Max \ q_1^{0.8} \ q_2^{0.2}\\\\[/tex]
Differentiate the above equation with respect of [tex]q_1[/tex], which will give [tex]MUq_1[/tex] as follows:
[tex]MUq_1= q_2^{0.2}(\frac{0.2}{q_1^{0.8}})\\\\[/tex]
[tex]=0.2(\frac{ q_2^{0.2}}{q_1^{0.8}})[/tex]
Differentiate the equation with respect of [tex]q_2[/tex], which will give [tex]MUq_2[/tex] as follows:
[tex]MUq_2= q_1^{0.8}(\frac{0.8}{q_1^{0.8}})\\\\[/tex]
[tex]=0.8(\frac{ q_1^{0.8}}{q_2^{0.2}})}{}[/tex]
for balancing the equation
[tex]\frac{MUq_1}{P_1}=\frac{MUq_2}{P_2}\\\\\frac{MUq_1}{MUq_2}=\frac{P_1}{P_2}\\\\[/tex]
[tex]\frac{0.2(\frac{ q_2^{0.2}}{q_1^{0.8}})} {0.8(\frac{ q_1^{0.8}}{q_2^{0.2}})}}= \frac{8}{4}\\\\\frac{(\frac{ q_2^{0.2}}{q_1^{0.8}})} {4(\frac{ q_1^{0.8}}{q_2^{0.2}})}}= \frac{2}{1}\\\\\frac{(\frac{ q_2^{0.2}}{q_1^{0.8}})} {(\frac{ q_1^{0.8}}{q_2^{0.2}})}}= 8\\\\\frac{q_2}{q_1}=8\\\\q_2=8q_1\\\\[/tex]
Calculate the value of [tex]q_1[/tex] and [tex]q_2[/tex] as follows:
[tex]100 =p_1q_1+P_2q_2\\\\100= 8q_1+4(8q_1)\\\\100=8q_1+32q_1\\\\100=40q_1\\\\q_1=\frac{100}{40}\\\\q_1=2.5[/tex]
[tex]q_2=8q_1\\\\\therefore q_1=2.5\\\\q_2=8\times 2.5\\\\q_2=20.0\\\\q_2=20[/tex]

Required: Steve Queen and Chelsy Bernard formed a partnership, dividing income as follows: Annual salary allowance to Bernard of $88,920. Interest of 5% on each partner's capital balance on January 1. Any remaining net income divided to Queen and Bernard, 1:2. Queen and Bernard had $96,000 and $93,000, respectively, in their January 1 capital balances. Net income for the year was $156,000. How much is distributed to Queen and Bernard
Answer:
Queen = $126,640
Bernard = $42,410
Explanation:
2,530 answers
Remaining profit = $156,000 - $88,920 - ($96,00,000 + $93,000) X 7%
Remaining profit = $53,850
Queen: $88,920 + ($96,000 X 7%) + ($53,850 X 1/3)
Queen= $126,640
Bernard: ($93,000 X 7%) + ($53,850 X 2/3)
Bernard = $42,410
In each of the following cases, calculate the accounting break-even and the cash break-even points. Ignore any tax effects in calculating the cash break-even. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

3 312.5 units
Cash break-even
Case Break-even
1 = 13,861.38
2 = 8125
3 = 312.5
Explanation:
Accounting break even is computed as
Break-even = (total fixed cost + depreciation ) /selling price - variable cost per unit
Case
1 = (7,000,000 + 1,250,000)/(2,800- 2,295)= 11386.13861
2 (65,000 +160,000)/(51-43 ) unit = 28125
3 (1,800 + 700)/ (12- 4)= 312.5
Cash break even
Under here only cash based fixed cost would be used , depreciation would be ignored. This is so because it is not a fixed cost .
Break-even = (total fixed cost ) /selling price - variable cost per unit
1 = (7,000,000 )/(2,800- 2,295)= 13,861.38
2 (65,000 )/(51-43 ) unit = 8125
3 (1,800 + 700)/ (12- 4)= 312.5

A decrease in the interest rate results in:______.
1. a greater opportunity cost of investment and so planned investment spending increases.
2. a smaller opportunity cost of investment and so planned investment spending decreases.
3. a smaller opportunity cost of investment and so planned investment spending increases.
4. a greater opportunity cost of investment and so planned investment spending decreases.
Answer:
3. a smaller opportunity cost of investment and so planned investment spending increases.
Explanation:
Opportunity cost is defined as the foregone alternative when a person undertakes an activity. For example going to work is the opportunity cost of staying at home to rest.
Opportunity cost is weighed against activity to be undertaken.
In this instance the opportunity cost of investment is the alternative foregone by investors.
As interest rate decreases it makes investment attractive because the cost of doing business decreases. This make other alternatives less attractive (smaller opportunity cost).
Investment now increases.
The monetary regulation agencies use interest rate a tool to either boost or reduce investment. The higher the interest rate th lower investment, and vice versa
Brickhouse is expected to pay a dividend of $2.90 and $2.36 over the next two years, respectively. After that, the company is expected to increase its annual dividend at 3.4 percent. What is the stock price today if the required return is 10.8 percent?
Answer:
$31.40
Explanation:
Value of stock is the sum of present value of all the dividends associated with stock in future.
We will use the following formula to calculate the present values of dividends
Present Values = P x ( 1 + r )^-n
First year = $2.90 x ( 1 + 10.8% )^-1 = $2.62
Second year = $2.36 x ( 1 + 10.8% )^-2 = $1.92
First we need to calculate the value of stock at year 2 and discount it to year 0.
After second year = [ $2.36 x ( 1 + 3.4% ) / ( 10.8% - 3.4% ) ] x ( 1 + 10.8% )^-2 =$26.86
Now add all the present values of dividend below to determine the value of stock.
Value of stock = $2.62 + $1.92 + $26.86 = $31.40
Majka Company was started on January 1, Year 1. During Year 1, the company experienced the following three accounting events: (1) earned cash revenues of $29,500, (2) paid cash expenses of $13,500, and (3) paid a $1,800 cash dividend to its stockholders. These were the only events that affected the company during Year 2016.
a. Create an accounting equation and record the effects of each accounting event under the appropriate general ledger account headings.
b. Prepare an income statement, statement of changes in stockholders’ equity, and a balance sheet dated December 31, 2016, for Majka Company.
c. Explain why the income statement uses different terminology to date the income statement than is used to date the balance sheet.
Answer:
Majka Company
a) Accounting equation to record effects of each event:
1. Assets (Cash) increased $29,500 = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings) increased $29,500.
2. Assets (Cash) decreased $13,500 = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings) decreased $13,500.
3. Assets (Cash) decreased $1,800 = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings) decreased $1,800.
b) Income Statement, Statement of Changes in Stockholders' Equity, and a Balance Sheet dated December 31, 2016:
1) Income Statement for the year ended December 31, 2016:
Sales $29,500
Expenses ($13,500)
Net Income $16,000
Dividend ($1,800)
Retained Earnings $14,200
2) Statement of Changes in Stockholders' Equity:
Retained Earnings b/f $0
Net Income $16,000
Dividend ($1,800)
Retained Earnings $14,200
3. Balance Sheet as at December 31, 2016:
Assets:
Cash ($29,500 - 13,500 - 1,800) $14,200
Liabilities + Equity:
Equity: Retained Earnings $14,200
c) Reason for different terminology to date income statement and balance sheet:
Income statement is prepared for an accounting period. It covers a specified period, while a balance sheet is prepared as at an accounting date. This means that one can prepare a balance sheet daily, or even after each transaction. But, an income statement covers a period of time, say a month, a quarter, or six months, or a year, as the case may be.
Explanation:
Income Statement, Changes in Equity, and the Balance Sheet are important financial statements, which a business prepares to report its financial performance (results), the changes that occur in owners' equity, and the financial position respectively.
John has an auto which is covered for collision losses subject to a $250 deductible. Kate's auto also has collision coverage but her deductible is $500. How would a $2,000 collision loss be paid if it occurs when John borrows Kate's car because his car is in the shop for repairs?
Answer:
Kate policy will pay 1500 dollars while Johns policy will pay 250 dollars
Explanation:
kates policy will pay 1500 dollars while johns policy will pay 250 dollars.
Since Kates deductible is 500 dollars, this deductible will be subtracted from the 2000 dollars collission loss that occurred when John borrowed her car. which gives $1500. therefore her policy will get to pay 1500 dollars. while johns policy will have to pay $250

The bank has a remote disbursement center in Florida.a. If Neon Light Company has $3.20 million per day in collections and $1.24 million per day in disbursements, how many dollars will the cash management system free up? (Enter your answer in dollars not in millions (e.g., $1,234,567).) Freed-up funds $b. If Neon Light Company can earn 10 percent per annum on freed-up funds, how much will the income be? (Enter your answer in dollars not in millions (e.g., $1,234,567).)
Answer:
a. The amount of dollars will the cash management system free up is $10,220,000
b. The income will be of $1,022,000
Explanation:
a. According to the given data in order to calculate the amount of dollars will the cash management system free up we would have to make the following calculation:
Freed-up fund = $3,200,000 * 3 + $1,240,000 * 1/2
Freed-up fund = $10,220,000
The amount of dollars will the cash management system free up is $10,220,000
b. To calculate the income If Neon Light Company can earn 10 percent per annum on freed-up funds we would have to make the following calculation:
Interest on freed-up cash = $10,220,000 * 10%
Interest on freed-up cash=$1,022,000
The income will be of $1,022,000

The Winston Company estimates that the factory overhead for the following year will be $1,250,000. The company has decided that the basis for applying factory overhead should be machine hours, which is estimated to be 50,000 hours. The total machine hours for the year were 54,300. The actual factory overhead for the year was $1,375,000. a) Determine the total factory overhead amount applied. b) Calculate the over or under applied amount for the year. c) Prepare the journal entry to close factory overhead into Cost of Goods Sold.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated factory overhead= $1,250,000.
Estimated machine-hours= 50,000 hours.
The total machine hours for the year were 54,300. The actual factory overhead for the year was $1,375,000.
First, we need to determine the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 1,250,000/50,000= $25 er machine hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 25*54,300= $1,357,500
Finally, we calculate the under/over allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 1,375,000 - 1,357,500
Under/over applied overhead= $17,500 underapplied
Cost of goods sold 17,500
Manufacturing overhead 17,500
Zachary Manufacturing Company has an opportunity to purchase some technologically advanced equipment that will reduce the company’s cash outflow for operating expenses by $1,287,000 per year. The cost of the equipment is $9,187,846.67. Zachary expects it to have a 11-year useful life and a zero salvage value. The company has established an investment opportunity hurdle rate of 15 percent and uses the straight-line method for depreciation. (PV of $1 and PVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
Required:
a. Calculate the internal rate of return of the investment opportunity. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
b. Indicate whether the investment opportunity should be accepted.
1. Internal Rate of Return
2. Should the investment opportunity be accepted?
Answer:
IRR = 8%
Don't accept the project
Explanation:
The internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.
IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator:
Cash flow in year 0 = -9,187,846.67
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 11 = 1287000
IRR = 8%
Because the IRR is less than the hurdle rate, the project shouldn't be accepted.
To find the IRR using a financial calacutor:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.

Answer:
a) IRR
IRR = 9%
b)
Since the IRR is less than the hurdle rate , the project should be rejected. An IRR with higher than the hurdle rate implies that the project would decrase the wealth of ths shareholders
Explanation:
IRR = a% + ( NPVa/(NPVa + NPVb)× (b-a)%
NPV = PV of annual savings - initial cost
PV of annual savings = A× (1- (1+r)^(-n) )/r
A- annual savings in operating cost , r- rate of return, n- number of years
NPVa
PV of annual savings = 1,287,000 × (1- 1.15^(-11))/0.15= 6,735,787.15
NPV = 6,735,787.15 - 9,187,846.67.= 2,452,059.52
NPVb
PV of annual savings = (1,287,000 × (1- 1.03^(-11))/0.03=11908127.23
NPV b = 11908127.23 -9187846.67 =2720280.564
IRR = 3% + ( 2720280.564 /(2720280.564 +2,452,059.52) )× (15-3)%
IRR = 9%
Since the IRR is less than the hurdle rate , the project should be rejected. An IRR with higher than the hurdle rate implies that the project would decrase the wealth of ths shareholders
Six equal annual contributions are made to a fund, with the first deposit on December 31, 2019. Required: Using the future value tables, determine the equal contributions that, if invested at 10% compounded annually, will accumulate to a fund of $30,000 on December 31, 2024.
Answer:
The answer is $3,888.22
Explanation:
This is an annuity due because the cash flow is being done on the first day of each period.
Annuity is a fixed sum of money paid to or receceived from someone or business every year.
Future Value(FV) = $30,000
Interest rate(i or I/Y) = 10%
Number of years(N)= 6 years
Annuity (PMT) = ?
Using a Financial calculator to solve it (Texa BA II Plus )
Annuity (equal contributions) will be $3,888.22
In developing a marketing plan, the section on goals and objectives defines the parameters by which the firm will measure actual performance. In this respect, the goals and objectives section is tied closely to the __________ section of the marketing plan.
Answer:
Evaluation and control
Explanation:
The goals and objectives section shows the things that the company wants to accomplish. As the statement indicates that the section on goals and objectives defines the parameters by which the firm will measure actual performance, we can infer that this refers to the evaluation and control section because this part of the marketing plan includes the measurements that will help you evaluate if the objectives can be accomplished, the performance standards to which the indicators are compared and the actions to take if the goals are not achieved. According to this, the answer is that in this respect, the goals and objectives section is tied closely to the evaluation and control section of the marketing plan.

Time 0 1 2 3
Project A -25,000 15,000 20,000 20,000
Project B -25,000 11,000 11,000 11,000
Answer:
Project A should be better and should be accepted because it produces a higher EAA of $7,732.5746
Explanation:
NPV = PV of cash inflow- Initial cost
PV of cash inflow = 15,000×1.12^(-1) + 20,000×1.12^(-2) + 20,000×1.12^(-3)=43,572.33
NPV = 43,572.33 -25,000 =18572.33965
EAA= NPV /Annuity factor
= 18572.339/2.401831268 = 7732.57468
Project B
PV of annuity = A× (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r
= 11,000× (1-1.12^(-4))/0.12=33410.84281
NPV = 33410.84281 - 25,000= 8410.842813
EAA = 8410.842/3.03734 =2769.139
Project A should be better and should be accepted because it produces a higher EAA of $7,732.5746
You are trying to price two bonds that have the same maturity and par value but different coupon rates. Both bonds mature in 8 years and at maturity both bonds return the par value of $1,000. One bond has a coupon rate of 4% and a yield to maturity of 4%. The other bond has a coupon rate of 5% and a yield to maturity of 4%. What is the absolute value of the difference between the prices of these two bonds
The difference between the prices of the two bonds is $67.33.
What is the bond?A bond is a type of fixed-income mechanism that conveys a loan made by an investor to a borrower. A bond could be considered as an I.O.U. between the lender and borrower that contains the elements of the loan and its payments.
The formula of bond pricing:
[tex]\rm{Bond Price}=C\times\dfrac{1-(1+r)^n}{r}+ \dfrac{F}{(1+r)^n}[/tex]
Where,
C= Coupon Rate, r = Maturity Rate, F= par value, n= Number of year.
Computation of final value of the bond:
Bond 1:
According to the given information,
Coupon rate(C)= 4%,
Maturity rate(r) = 4%,
Par value of the bond(F)= $1,000
Apply the given values in the above formula:
[tex]\rm{Bond Price}=C\times\dfrac{1-(1+r)^n}{r}+ \dfrac{F}{(1+r)^n}\\\\\\\rm{Bond Price}=4\%\times\dfrac{1-(1+4\%)^8}{4\%}+\dfrac{\$1,000}{(1+4\%)^8}\\\\\\\rm{Bond Price}=\$1,000.[/tex]
Therefore, the bond price is $1,000.
Bond 2:
According to the given information,
Coupon rate(C)= 5%,
Maturity rate(r) = 4%,
Par value of the bond(F)= $1,000
Apply the given values in the above formula:
[tex]\rm{Bond Price}=C\times\dfrac{1-(1+r)^n}{r}+ \dfrac{F}{(1+r)^n}\\\\\\\rm{Bond Price}=5\%\times\dfrac{1-(1+4\%)^8}{4\%}+\dfrac{\$1,000}{(1+4\%)^8}\\\\\\\rm{Bond Price}=\$1,067.33.[/tex]
Therefore, the difference between the prices of these two bonds is :
[tex]\text{Difference}= \text{Bond 1-Bond2}\\\\\text{Difference}= \$1,000-\$1,067.33\\\\\text{Difference}= 67.33[/tex]

You have just purchased a U.S. Treasury bond for $747.25. No payments will be made until the bond matures 5 years from now, at which time it will be redeemed for $1,000. What interest rate will you earn on this bond
Answer:
6% interest rate
Explanation:
The equation you should use is just a variation of the PV formula:
r = (FV/PV)1/t -1
r = ($1000/$747.25)1/5 - 1
r = 6% interest rate
The interest rate i will eventually earn on this bond is 6%
Changes in the job market, such as significant expansion or reduction within a particular career field, causing large numbers of people to move up or down the class ladder would characterize ________________ mobility.
Answer:
social
Explanation:
Social mobility refers changes in an individual's social economic class within a stratification system. A social stratification system is the way society ranks individuals and families according to the social status. A person's or a family's social status is generally determined by wealth or power (or both).
When a person moves up the social ladder (stratification system) it means that they are improving their status and society generally perceives them as more valuable. E.g. Serguei Brin went from being a Russian immigrant to an extremely wealthy and powerful person after Google was a success. That is a clear example of a person moving up the social ladder.
People can also lower their social class when they lose their jobs and go through severe economic hardships.
purchased equipment on January1, 2018,for $ 27 comma 419.Suppose Duck Pond Golf Club Sold the equipment for $ 19 comma 000 on December 31 comma 2019.Accumulated Depreciation as of December31, 2019,was $ 12 comma 186.Journalize the sale of the equipment, assuming straight-line depreciation was used.
Answer:
31 December 2019
Cash 19000 Dr
Accumulated depreciation 12186 Dr
Equipment 27419 Cr
Gain on disposal 3767 Cr
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation method charges a constant depreciation expense through out the useful life of the asset.
To calculate the gain or loss on disposal/sale of an asset like this, we need to first determine the book value or carrying value of asset on that day.
Carrying value = Cost - Accumulated depreciation
Carrying value = 27419 - 12186
Carrying value = $15233
Gain or (loss) on disposal = Cash/Sale proceeds - Carrying Value
Gain or (loss) on disposal = 19000 - 15233
Gain or (loss) on disposal = $3767 Gain
