A. increase in equilibrium wage, W, and increase in equilibrium quantity of labor, L, employed.

B. an increase in W and a decrease in L.

C. A decrease in W and a decrease in L.

D. A decrease in W and no change in L.

E. None of the above.

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed costs= $20,000

Unitary variable cost= $17

Selling price= $28 per unit.

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 20,000 / (28 - 17)

Break-even point in units= 1,818 units

Now, the profit for 1,500 units:

Loss= 1,500*11 - 20,000= -$3,500

Answer:

A) terms of a sales contract may be modified without additional consideration.

Explanation:

Generally speaking, common law applies to everybody in an equal manner, i.e. the law is the same for everyone. While UCC rules vary depending if the parties involved are merchants or not. UCC has two standards, one that applies to merchants and another one that applies to everyone else.

Common law applies to all contracts that are not covered by UCC rules. UCC rules only apply to the sale of goods and this doesn't include money or securities. Under UCC rules, new consideration is not a requirement to modify an existing contract. E.g. a buyer places an order for 3,000 units, but the seller only has 2,000 units available. The seller can send the 2,000 units and if the buyer accepts them, a new contract is formed.

Answer:

$5,340

Explanation:

Gayne's corporation contribution margin ratio is 18%

= 18/100

= 0.18

The fixed monthly expenses is $51,000

The company sales for the month is $313,000

Therefore, the net operating income can be calculated as follows

= (Contribution margin ratio×sales)-fixed expenses

= (0.18× $313,000)- $51,000

= $56,340-$51,000

= $5,340

Hence the best estimate of the company's net operating income is $5,340

Answer:

The Federal Reserve has been at times biased in favor of the financial industry, because they have often put inflation targeting above the need to reduce unemployment when executing monetary policy. Besides, the financial industry has often been rescued by massive loans from the Fed.

However, the Federal Reserve has also acted in favor of reducing unemployment, specially during recessions, by expanding the money supply through a policy known as quantitative easing.

In conclusion, we can say that the Fed tends to be biased in favor of the financial industry, but not at all times.

Answer:

Explanation:

given that

principal P=  $10,000

final amount A= $18,000

time t= 10 years

To find the annual rate we will use the formula below and solve for r

[tex]r = [(\frac{A}{P} )^\frac{1}{t} - 1][/tex]

Substituting our data into the expression and solving for r we have

[tex]r = [(\frac{18000}{10000} )^\frac{1}{10} - 1]\\\\r = [(1.8 )^\frac{1}{10} - 1]\\\\r = [(1.8 )^0^.^1 - 1]\\\\r = [(1.8 )^0^.^1 - 1]\\r={1.06054-1}\\\\r= 0.06054[/tex]  

Calculate rate of interest in percent

r = 0.06054* 100

r=  6.054% per year

Answer:

a. the earnings per share  is $2.28

b. the price-earnings ratio is 5.96 times

c. the dividends per share  is $0.25

d. the dividend yield is 1.84%

Explanation:

a. the earnings per share

Earning per share is the net earning of the company against each outstanding share.

Earning per share = Net Income / Numbers of Outstanding shares

Earning per share = $502,000 / ($5,500,000/$25)

Earning per share = $502,000 / 220,000 = $2.28

b. the price-earnings ratio

Price earning ratio determines the impact of net income on market value of the share.

Price earning Ratio = Market Pice of stock / Earning per share

Price earning Ratio = $13.60 / $2.28

Price earning Ratio = 5.96

c. the dividends per share

Dividend per share is the value of dividend paid to each outstanding common share.

Dividend per share = Dividend declared / Numbers of outstanding shares

Dividend per share = $55,000 / 220,000 shares

Dividend per share = $0.25 per share

d. the dividend yield.

Dividend yield is the ratio of dividend per share and Market price per share.

Dividend Yield = Dividend Per share / Market price per share

Dividend Yield = $0.25 / $13.60 = 0.0184 = 1.84%

Answer:

A. What is the company's cost of preferred equity?

B. What is the company's cost of common equity?

C. What is the company's WACC?

Explanation:

20% debt ⇒ after tax cost of debt 3.76%

20% preferred stock ⇒ 8.42%

60% common equity ⇒ 11.45%

in order to determine the after tax cost of debt we must first determine the yield to maturity of debt:

approximate YTM = {37.5 +[(1,000 - 1,150.78)/40]} / [(1,000 + 1,150.78)/2] = 33.7305 / 1,075.39 = 3.3166% x 2 = 6.2732%

after tax cost of debt = 6.2732% x 0.6 = 3.76%

cost of preferred stocks = 8 / (100 x 0.95) = 8 / 95 = 8.42%

cost of equity (Re) = 2.45% + (1.8 x 5%) = 2.45% + 9% = 11.45%

WACC = (60% x 11.45%) + (20% x 8.42%) + (20% x 3.76%) = 6.87% + 1.684% + 0.752% = 9.306% = 9.31%

Answer:

The deal to receive $30000 is better.

Explanation:

To find the better deal we need to calculate the present value of $30000 and then compare it with the amount $25000. If the amount is greater than the $25000, then the amount should be received after the 2 years.

The given time period (n )= 2

Interest rate (r ) = 8%

The amount received after 2 years = $30000

[tex]\text{Present value of money} = \frac{Future \ value}{(1 + r)^n } \\= \frac{30000}{(1+0.08)^2} \\= $25720.16[/tex]

Since the amount is more than $25000 so the deal to receive the money after 2 years will be better.

Answer: sell covered calls

Explanation:

A retired customer that has a portfolio of blue chip stocks is looking to supplement his retirement income. An appropriate recommendation would be to sell covered calls.

It should be noted that a covered call is a financial transaction that takes place when a call option is sold by an investor even though the investor still owns part of the security based on what's sold.

Answer: ∑Tₓ = 201.222

time required to complete the last two units is 201.222 minutes

Explanation:

Given that,

total time required to four units is 600 hours,

Learning curve applied is 75% and from the learning curve coefficient table, total time factor to complete four units at 75% learning curve is 2.946

so

∑Tₙ = T₁ × total time factor

{ ∑Tₙ is total time required to complete all the units which is 600 hrs, T₁ is Time for first unit, total time factor = 2.946 }

we substitute

∑T₄ = ∑T₁ × total time factor

600 = ∑T₁ × 2.946

∑T₁  = 600/2.946

∑T₁  = 203.666 minutes

Now to get the total time required to complete 6 units, we say:

∑T₆ = ∑T₁ × total time factor

Note that total time factor at this point changes;

( from the learning curve coefficient table, total time factor to complete 6 units at 75% learning curve is 3.934)

so we substitute

∑T₆ = 203.666 × 3.934

∑T₆ = 801.222

Now to find how long should it take them to finish the last two units, we say

∑Tₓ = ∑T₆ - ∑T₄

∑Tₓ = 801.222 - 600

∑Tₓ = 201.222

Therefore time required to complete the last two units is 201.222 minutes

The time required to complete the last two units is 201.222 minutes

Given data

Total time required to four units is 600 hours

Learning curve applied is 75% and 75% learning curve is 2.946

∑Tₙ = T₁ × total time factor

{ ∑Tₙ is total time required to complete all the units which is 600 hrs, T₁ is Time for first unit, total time factor = 2.946 }

we substitute

∑T₄ = ∑T₁ × total time factor

600 = ∑T₁ × 2.946

∑T₁  = 600/2.946

∑T₁  = 203.666 minutes

Now to get the total time required to complete 6 units, we say:

∑T₆ = ∑T₁ × total time factor

so we substitute

∑T₆ = 203.666 × 3.934

∑T₆ = 801.222

Now, we will find how long should it take them to finish the last two units

∑Tₓ = ∑T₆ - ∑T₄

∑Tₓ = 801.222 - 600

∑Tₓ = 201.222

In conclusion, the time required to complete the last two units is 201.222 minutes

Answer:

Differential revenue from further processing = $4.05

Explanation:

A business should process further a product if the additional revenue from the split-off point is greater than than the further processing cost.  

Also note that all cost incurred up to the split-off point are irrelevant to the decision to process further .i.e $36 irrelevant to the decision to process further

The differential revenue if the desk is processed further would be the difference between the additional revenue from further process and the further processing cost.

                                                                                  $

Sales price after the split-off point                         75

Sales price at the split-off point                               65

Additional sales revenue                                         10

Further processing cost                                       (5.95)

Differential revenue from further processing        4.05

Differential revenue from further processing = $4.05

Answer:

B) Propensity to buy.

Explanation:

In answering the question "Which customers are most likely to click on my online ads and purchase my goods?" you are most likely to use the propensity to buy.

Propensity to buy in marketing is a predictive model, which is used to measure or determine the chances of a customer being willing to buy a particular product.

In this scenario, to determine the likelihood of a customer clicking on an online advert and purchasing a seller's goods, after visiting a website or receiving promotional information about, it is ideal to use the propensity to buy analytic approach.

Answer: Free Rider

Explanation:

Non-excludable goods refers to public goods that are free to the public to use such goods and therefore there is no restriction to the  consumption of non-excludable goods because every single individual  has the right to access and consume it  For example,  Public parks, roads, and public infrastructures.

A non excludable good can overtime have a negative result in a community, because such good need to be constantly maintained so as to continue to be beneficial and  therefore may require small token of fair share among its consumers but there would always be some individuals who are referred to as Free Riders  who would rather use the good without paying for it and in the long run cause the good to not be adequate for all or difficult  to be maintained at its best resulting to failure in the provision of the non excludable public goods.

the free rider problem can be solved by

1. Government's intervention to subsidize the public good through fair distribution of tax, using the pay as you earn method .

2. Overused non excludable good can be privatized, ensuring that people who consume it, contribute to ts maintenance.

Answer:

a. Quality of a Solution 20% (x) Acceptability of the Solution 80%

Explanation:

We say that a solution is effective i.e 100%, when it has a 20% of its quality and 80% of its acceptability.

A solution is effective when it has a 100% effect. The application of a solution to a problem which yields 100% effect is said to be effective and acceptable.

The scale used is the relationship given as:

Effectiveness of a solution = Quality of a Solution 20% (x) Acceptability of the Solution 80%

Answer:

25.8%

Explanation:

A company gross profit is $129,650

The net sales is $502,900

Therefore, the gross margin ratio can be calculated as follows

Gross margin ratio= gross margin /net sales

= $129,650/$502,900

= 0.258×100

= 25.8%

Hence the gross margin ratio is 25.8%

Answer: a. 2.44%

b.  0.001070%

Explanation:

Given: The  returns from an asset are normally distributed with

[tex]\mu=\text{ 13.6 percent and }\sigma=\text{43.86 percent.}[/tex]

Let x be the percentage value of return.

a. Double in value in a single year i.e. 100% return.

z-value = [tex]\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{100-13.6}{43.86}=1.97[/tex]

Required probability = Right-tailed probability for Z = 1.97

= 0.0244   [By p-value calculator]

= 2.44%

b. Triple in value in a single year i.e. 200% return.

z-value = [tex]\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{200-13.6}{43.86}=4.25[/tex]

Required probability = Right-tailed probability for Z =4.25

=  0.0000107    [By p-value calculator]

Answer:

gross profit ratio = (total revenue - cost of goods sold) / total revenue

I looked for the missing information:

year                    total sales                   cost of goods sold

2012                    $7,175                            $4,365

2013                    $8,052                           $5,140

2014                    $8,268                           $5,370

a)

gross profit ratio:

2012 = ($7,175 - $4,365) / $7,175 = 39.16%

2013 = ($8,052 - $5,140) / $8,052 = 36.16%

2014 = ($8,268 - $5,370) / $8,268 = 35.05%

b)

since the gross profit margin ratio is decreasing every year, we can assume that it will keep decreasing in 2015. Using linear regression, the slope is -0.02055. So the estimated gross profit margin ratio for 2015 = 34.33%

estimated cogs (first four months of 2015) = $527 billion x (1 - 34.33%) = $346.08 billion

estimated gross profit (first four months of 2015) = $527 billion x 34.33% = $180.92 billion

The question is incomplete:

If the poverty trap were made even more difficult to overcome because a working mother will have extra expenses like transportation and child care that a non-working mother will not face, then:_______.

a. she will have a powerful incentive to work more than one job.

b. the family better off than if she did not work at all.

c. her economic grains from working will be even smaller.

d. The future is even more attractive.

Answer:

c. her economic grains from working will be even smaller.

Explanation:

The poverty trap is a situation in which having more income results on losing benefits. In this case, the poverty trap is more difficult to overcome because a working mother will have a salary but this results on her having additional expenses that she would not have if she was not working and this decreases the benefits she gets by having a job. Because of that, the answer is that her economic grains from working will be even smaller.

The other options are not right because she won't have an incentive to work more than one job because that would increase expenses like child care, the family won't be better as a result of the additional expenses and because of that, the future won't be more attractive.

Answer:

c. her economic grains from working will be even smaller.

Explanation:

In economics, the poverty trap refers to certain circumstances that make it very difficult for a poor person to become middle or upper class, or increase their income even if they continue to fall under the poverty line.

Imagine a situation where you work for a very low salary, and besides that, you must spend a large portion of your salary paying for transportation and childcare costs. The gains resulting from your work will decrease compared to a situation where you worked in a business that was located at a walking distance and childcare services were provided for free. The economic equation is simple, the higher the costs, the less the profit.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

Indigo Corporation had the following tax information.

Year      Taxable Income         Tax Rate               Taxes Paid

2015        $294,000                  35%                       $102,900

2016         332,000                    30%                        99,600

2017          399,000                    30%                       119,700

In 2018, Indigo suffered a net operating loss of $487,000, which it elected to carry back. The 2018 enacted tax rate is 26%.

The objective is to prepare the Indigo's entry to record the effect of the loss carryback.

The Income  Tax Refund Receivable = Taxable income(2018) × Tax rate(2018) + ( net operating loss - Taxable income(2018) )  × Tax rate(2018)

(332000 × 30%)+(476000-332000) × 30%

The Income  Tax Refund Receivable =  (332000 × 0.30)+(476000-332000) × 0.30

The Income  Tax Refund Receivable = 99600 + 144000× 0.30

The Income  Tax Refund Receivable = 99600 + 43200

The Income  Tax Refund Receivable = 142800

Therefore, Indigo Corporation ENtry can be prepared as follows:

Account titles                                        Debit          Credit

Income Tax Refund Receivable          142800

Benefit Due to Loss Carryback                             142800

To record the effect of the loss carryback

Answer:

52%

Explanation:

Calculation for Ant’s awareness level be next year

First step

Based on the information given Ant current awareness level is 78% and we are told that Ant loses 1/3 of its awareness each year. Hence we are going to first calculate for Ant Starting awareness using this formula

Starting Awareness=Currently awareness level *(1-1/3 of awareness each year)

Starting Awareness=78%*2/3

Starting Awareness=52%

Second Step

Based on the information given we were told that the first one million dollars results in a 26% increase in awareness.This means that we are going to find the percentage of the awareness after promotion using this formula:

Awareness after promotion = Starting Awareness +increase in awareness

Awareness after promotion=52% + 26%

Awareness after promotion= 78%

The last step is to find the what Ant’s awareness level will be next year using this formula

Awareness level next year = Awareness after promotion * 2/3

Awareness level next year = 78%*2/3

Awareness level next year= 52%

Therefore Ant’s awareness level next year will be 52%

Answer:

a. How much of the total sales revenue is expected to be paid in​cash?

b. How many customer transactions does the company expect in​January?

c. How much of the total sales revenue is expected to be paid with credit​ cards?

d. How many customer transactions will be paid for by customers using credit​cards?

e. When budgeting for​ January's operating​ expenses, how much should the restaurant expect to incur in credit card transaction​fees?

f. How much of the total sales revenue is expected to be paid with debit​ cards?

g. How many customer transactions will be paid for by customers using debit​cards?

h. When budgeting for​ January's operating​ expenses, how much should the restaurant expect to incur in debit card transaction​fees?

i. How much money will be deposited in the​ restaurant's bank account during the month of January related to credit and debit card​ sales? Assume the credit and debit card issuers deposit the funds on the same day the transactions occur at the restaurant​(there is no processing​ delay).

j. What is the total amount of money that the restaurant expects to deposit in its bank account during the month of January from​ cash, credit​ card, and debit card​ sales? Again assume the credit and debit card issuers deposit the funds on the same day that the transaction occurs.

Explanation:

total sales $285,000 / $15 = 19,000 customers

credit card fees = (11,400 x $0.60) + ($171,000 x 2%) = $10,260

debit card fees = (3,800 x $0.55) + ($57,000 x 1%) = $2,660
