"Differences in income inequality between countries of similar income levels can primarily be attributed to:"
Answer:
skills biased technical change
Explanation:
the options were missing, so I looked for them:
Skills biased technical change takes place when skilled workers are favored over unskilled ones. This happens because the country's productive system requires a lot of skilled workers.
Income inequality is not generally the result of how intelligent a society or a person is, but instead where they are or where you were born. Humans have the capability of learning and prospering, but no one can do it all by themselves.
For example, rich countries that base their economies on exporting raw materials like Qatar have a very high GDP per capita ($69,688), but around 70% of the country's wealth is held by 10% of the population. Actually, the remaining 90% can be considered poor and live under very bad conditions. But Qatar's economy is based solely on exporting oil, it barely produces anything else.
Gelb Company currently manufactures 42,000 units per year of a key component for its manufacturing process. Variable costs are $6.25 per unit, fixed costs related to making this component are $87,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $84,500 per year. The allocated fixed costs are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys this component. The company is considering buying this component from a supplier for $3.70 per unit. Calculate the total incremental cost of making 42,000 units and buying 42,000 units. Should it continue to manufacture the component, or should it buy this component from the outside supplier?
Answer:
It is more convenient to buy the component.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production costs:
Variable costs are $6.25 per unit
fixed costs related to making this component are $87,000 per year
The company is considering buying this component from a supplier for $3.70 per unit.
We will take into account only the avoidable costs.
Make in-house:
Total cost= 6.25*42,000 + 87,000= $349,500
Buy:
Total cost= 42,000*3.7= $155,400
It is more convenient to buy the component.
the retained earnings account has a credit balance what is the correct closing entry for the expense accounts
Answer: A. Debit Income Summary $41,300; credit Expense accounts $41,300.
Explanation:
The Income summary account allows for closing entries to be done related to the company income. Revenue is to be credited to the account so that it increases at the end of the period.
Expenses are to be debited to reflect that they are reducing the balance on the Income summary account and should be credited to the expenses account to show that the expenses are being transferred from the expense account to the income summary account.

suppose the real rate is 1.9 percent and the inflation rate is 3.1 percent. what rate would you expect to see on a treasury bill?
Answer:
12.48%
Explanation:
The real rate is 1.9%
= 1.9/100
= 0.019
The inflation rate is 3.1%
= 3.1/100
= 0.031
Therefore the rate on the treasury bill can be calculated as follows
= (1+0.031)(1+0.019)-1
= (1.031×1.019)-1
= 1.1248-1
= 0.1248×100
= 12.48%
Hence the rate that is expected to be seen on the treasury bill is 12.48%

Serial bonds are bonds that mature at more than one date with the result that the principal amount is repaid over a number of periods.
A serial bond is a bond that has been structured in such a way that portions of the bonds will have to mature at regular intervals until the moment that the bonds have all matured.
Due to the fact that the bonds have to mature gradually with time for certain years, the bonds are typically used to finance projects.

tock has had returns of 16 percent, 23 percent, 15 percent, −11 percent, 30 percent, and −5 percent over the last six years. What are the arithmetic and geometric average returns for the stock?
Answer: arithmetic Average Return =11.33%
Geometric Average Return=10.33%
Explanation:
Returns per year
Year 1 16%
year 2 23%
year 3 15
year 4 -11%
year 5 30 %
year 6 -5%
Total = 68%
Arithmetic Average = Total returns 0f ( year 1 -6) / number of years

Suppose a stock had an initial price of $56 per share, paid a dividend of $1.60 per share during the year, and had an ending share price of $66. What was the dividend yield and the capital gains yield?
Answer:
Dividend yield= 2.85%
Capital gain yield= 17.85%
Explanation:
A stock has an initial price of $56 per share
The dividend paid is $1.60 per share.
The ending share price is $66
The dividend yield can be calculated as follows
= $1.60/56
= 0.0285
= 2.85%
The capital gain yield can be calculated as follows
= $66-$56/$56
= $10/$56
= 0.1785
= 17.85%
The company has a target net income of $206,000. What is the required sales in dollars for the company to meet its target?
Complete Question:
Blue Spruce Corporation has collected the following information after its first year of sales. Sales were $1,600,000 on 100,000 units, selling expenses $240,000 (40% variable and 60% fixed), direct materials $514,000, direct labor $270,800, administrative expenses $280,000 (20% variable and 80% fixed), and manufacturing overhead $376,000 (70% variable and 30% fixed). Top management has asked you to do a CVP analysis so that it can make plans for the coming year. It has projected that unit sales will increase by 10% next year.
Requirement:
The company has a target net income of $206,000. What is the required sales in dollars for the company to meet its target?
Answer:
$2,747,200
Explanation:
We can calculate the target sales by using the following following formula:
Target Sales = (Fixed Cost + Target Net Income) / Contribution to Sales Ratio (Step1)
Here
Target Net Income is $206,000
Fixed Cost includes 60% of selling expenses $240,000 (100%), 80% of administrative expenses $280,000 (100%) and 30% of manufacturing overhead $376,000 (100%).
This means that:
Total Fixed Cost = 60% * $240,000 + 80% * $280,000 + 30% * $376,000
Fixed Cost = $144,000 + $224,000 + $112,800
Fixed Cost = $480,800
Contribution to Sales ration is 25%
By putting values in the above equation, we have:
Target Sales = ($480,800 + $206,000) / 25% = $2,747,200Step1: Find Contribution to Sales Ratio
As we know that:
Contribution to Sales Ratio = (Selling Price per Unit (Step2) - Variable Cost per Unit (Step3) ) / Selling Price per Unit
Here
Selling Price per unit is $16 per Unit
Variable Cost per Unit is $12 per Unit
Contribution Sales Ratio is 25%
By putting values, we have:
Contribution Sales Ratio = ($16 per Unit - $12 per Unit) / $16 per Unit
Contribution Sales Ratio = 25%
Step2: Find Selling Price Per Unit
Selling price per unit = Total sales / Total units = $1,600,000 / 100,000 Units
Selling price per unit = $16 per Unit
Step3: Find Variable Cost per unit
Here, the first thing that we would compute will be total variable cost and then we will calculate variable cost per unit.
Here
Total Variable Cost = (Selling expenses $240,000 * 40%) + (Direct Material Cost $514,000) + (Direct Labor Cost of $270,800) + (Administrative expenses of $280,000 * 20%) + (Manufacturing overhead $376,000 * 70%)
Total Variable Cost = ($240,000 * 40%) + ($514,000) + ($270,800) + ($280,000 * 20%) + ($376,000 * 70%)
= $96,000 + $514,000 + $270,800 + $56,000 + $263,200
Total Variable Cost = $1,200,000 for 100,000 Units
Variable Cost For single unit = $1,200,000 / 100,000 Units
Variable Cost per Unit = $12 per Unit

Suppose that the Federal Reserve wants to target a higher interest rate, the Federal Reserve would then:
Answer:
if the FED wants to increase interest rates, it will generally engage in a contractionary monetary policy. This means that it will decrease the money supply in the economy. A contractionary monetary policy takes place when the FED starts to sell US securities and that way it will take away money from the economy. But in order to make more people want to purchase the securities, it will generally increase the interest rates.

An office supply store open 5 days a week must determine the best inventory policy for boxes of copier paper. Weekly demand is nearly constant at 250 boxes and when orders are placed, then entire shipment arrives at once. The cost per box is $22 and the inventory holding cost is 30%. Orders are placed at a cost of $40 each, including preparation time and communication charges, and the lead time is 2 days. a. Find the optimal order quantity. b. What is the reorder point
Answer:
a. 295 boxes
b. 100 boxes
Explanation:
The level at which ordering and storage costs are at minimal is known as the optimal order quantity.
optimal order quantity = √(2×Annual Demand×Ordering Cost per Order) / Holding Cost per unit
Therefore,
optimal order quantity = √((2×250×52×$22) / ($22 × 30%))
= 294.39 or 295 boxes
Reorder point is the point at which the order should be placed to obtain additional inventories.
Reorder Point = Lead Time × Usage during the lead time
Therefore,
Reorder Point = 2 days × (250 boxes ÷ 5 days)
= 100 boxes
The optimal order quantity is 295 boxes and the reorder point is 100 boxes.
From the information given, the optimal order quantity will be:
= √(2 × Annual Demand × Ordering Cost per Order) / Holding Cost per unit
= √[(2×250×52×$22) / ($22 × 30%)]
= 295 boxes
The Reorder Point will be calculated thus:
= Lead Time × Usage during the lead time
= 2 days × (250 boxes / 5 days)
= 100

The bond has a coupon rate of 6.11 percent, it makes semiannual payments, and there are 2 months to the next coupon payment. A clean price of $977 and the par value is $1,000. What is the invoice price?
Answer:
$997.37
Explanation:
For computing the invoice price first we have to determine the accrued interest which is shown below:
Accrued interest is
= Par value × coupon rate × remaining months ÷ total months
= $1,000 × 6.11% × 4 months ÷ 12 months
= $20.37
Now
Invoice price is
= Clean price + Accrued interest
= $977 + $20.37
= $997.37
You have $130,000 to invest in a portfolio containing Stock X and Stock Y. Your goal is to create a portfolio that has an expected return of 14.6 percent. Stock X has an expected return of 12.8 percent and a beta of 1.30, and Stock Y has an expected return of 7.8 percent and a beta of 1.05. a. How much money will you invest in Stock Y? (Do not round intermediate calculations. A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign.) b. What is the beta of your portfolio? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 3 decimal places, e.g., 32.161.)
Answer:
Let X be the amount invested in stock A
Let 1-X be the amount invested in stock B
Expected rate = (Required rate of X* X) + (Required ratebof Y * (1-X))
0.146 = (0.128 * X) + (0.078 * (1-X))
0.146 = 0.128X + 0.078 - 0.078X
0.146 - 0.078 = 0.128X - 0.078X
X = 0.068/0.05
X = 1.36
Amount to be invested in Stick X = $130,000 * 1.36
= $176,000
Amount to be invested in Stock Y = (1-X) * Available amount
= (1-1.36) * $130,000
= $46,800
Therefore, the amount to be invested in Stick Y = -$46,800
Calculation of the portfolio beta
bp = w1b1 + w2b2 + ........ + wnbn
bp = (1.36*1.3) + ((-0.36) * 1.05)
bp = 1.768 - 0.378
bp = 1.29
Therefore, the portfolio beta is 1.39
Carter Motor Company, claims that its new sedan, the Libra, will average better than 23 miles per gallon in the city. Assuming that a hypothesis test of the claim has been conducted and that the conclusion is to reject the null hypothesis, state the conclusion:__________.
a. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean is less than 23 miles per gallon.
b. There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean is less than 23 miles per gallon.
c. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean is greater than 23 miles per gallon.
d. There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean is greater than 23 miles per gallon.
Answer: c. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean is greater than 23 miles per gallon.
Explanation:
When doing a research, there are 2 Hypothesis one must come up with which are the Null Hypothesis and the Alternative hypothesis.
The Null Hypothesis should state that there is no relationship between the variables which in this case would mean that new sedan, the Libra, will not average better than 23 miles per gallon in the city.
The Alternative Hypothesis on the other hand affirms the belief of the researcher which in this case is that new sedan, the Libra, will average better than 23 miles per gallon in the city.
As the null hypothesis was rejected by the evidence, it means that indeed the Libra mean is greater than 23 miles per gallon.
The work within one state of a team's Kanban board is being completed at varying times, sometimes running faster and sometimes slower than the next state. What could resolve this issue
Answer:
A buffer state should be put in place between the two states to resolve this issue
Explanation:
A buffer would function such that when it is fast it won't be use but when it is slow a big portion of it is engaged or used balance the time
