The Sherman Antitrust Act: Multiple Choice was passed in 1800. All of these statements are true. was actively used by President Roosevelt in the early 20th century. no longer applies to business practices today.
Answer: Was actively used by President Roosevelt in the early 20th century.
Explanation:
The Sherman Act of 1890 was a law passed by Congress to target monopolies in the United States. At the time, Trusts had been in existence. Trusts were in effect monopolies because they worked by getting the largest stockholders to transfer their stock to a single trust and get profits from all companies in the trust. This Trust would then in effect control the industry as a monopoly.
To combat this, the Sherman Act enabled the Federal Government to go against Trusts and dissolve them. This was good news to President Theodore Roosevelt who ruled from 1901 to 1909. Roosevelt hated the anti-competitive tactics of the rich that ripped off the poor. He believed that this would bring about a revolution and he also hated them as the big corporations thought themselves above the law in his assessment.
Using the Sherman Act, he went against them with so much vigor that he earned the nickname, The Trust Buster. He started with a Trust controlled by J.P. Morgan called Northern Securities Company which was dissolved by the Supreme Court after the Attorney General under Roosevelt brought a suit against them.
A company purchased 400 units at $75 per unit. The company sold 385 units. what is the cost of goods sold and ending inventory
Answer:
Cost of goods sold $28,875
Ending inventory $1,125
Explanation:
Calculation for cost of goods sold and ending inventory
Cost of goods sold is calculated using this formula
Cost of goods sold=Sales units *Purchased per units
Let plug in the formula
Cost of goods sold=385 units *$75 per unit
Cost of goods sold=$28,875
Calculation for the ending inventory using this formula
Ending inventory=(Purchased units * purchased per unit) -Cost of goods sold
Let plug in the formula
Ending inventory=(400 units× 75 per unit) -$28,875
Ending inventory=$30,000-$28,875
Ending inventory=$1,125
Therefore the Cost of goods sold will be $28,875 while the Ending inventory will be $1,125

According to the World Banks's world development indicators, real gross domestic product (GDP) in sub-Saharan Africa in 2015 was about $1.65 trillion . What percentage of sub-Saharan Africa's real GDP is the E.U. emergency trust fund
Answer:
0.12%
Explanation:
According to the given situation, the computation of E.U. emergency trust fund as a percentage of sub-Saharan GDP is shown below:-
E.U. emergency trust fund as a percentage of sub-Saharan GDP is
= (Amount of Plans ÷ Real gross domestic product) × 100
= (2 billion ÷ 1.65 trillion) × 100
= 0.12%
Therefore for computing the E.U. emergency trust fund as a percentage of sub-Saharan GDP we simply applied the above formula.

The EOQ model assumes inventory: Multiple Choice can be delivered immediately upon order. is sold at a steady rate until it is depleted. will be available just as it is needed for production. is held at a constant level. has seasonal fluctuations.
Answer:
is sold at a steady rate until it is depleted
Explanation:
The EOQ means Economic order quantity that refers to a quantity which the company should purchase for its inventory
In this order quantity, the carrying cost and the ordering cost are equivalent to each other
Also we assume that the demand would remain the same and the inventory should be depleted at a fixed rate unless it reaches to a zero
Hence, the second option is correct
Break-Even Sales and Sales to Realize Income from OperationsFor the current year ended October 31, Friedman Company expects fixed costs of $14,300,000, a unit variable cost of $250, and a unit selling price of $380.a. Compute the anticipated break-even sales (units).unitsb. Compute the sales (units) required to realize income from operations of $2,405,000.units
Answer:
a. 110,000 units
b. 128,500 units
Explanation:
a. Compute the anticipated break even sales in unit
Break even point in unit = Total fixed cost / Contribution margin
Total fixed cost = $14,300,000
Contribution margin per unit = Unit selling price - Unit variable cost
= $380 - $250
= $130
Break even point in units = $14,300,000 / $130
= 110,000 units
b. Compute sales (units) required to realize income from operations of $2,405,000
Break even point + expected profits = (total fixed costs + expected profits) / Contribution margin
° total fixed cost + expected profits
= $14,300,000 + $2,405,000
= $16,705,000
°contribution margin per unit
= $380 - $250
= $130
Break even point + expected profits in unit
= $16,705,000 / $130
= 128,500 units
A person who enters into a contract when he or she is intoxicated can void the contract if the terms are obviously favorable to the other party.
a. true
b. false
Answer:
False.
Explanation:
A contract can be defined as an agreement between two or more parties (group of people) which gives rise to a mutual legal obligation or enforceable by law.
A person who enters into a contract when he or she is intoxicated cannot void the contract even if the terms are obviously favorable to the other party.
By law, an individual can void a contract entered into while under the influence of alcohol or intoxicated, only if he or she doesn't understand or comprehend the legal consequences binding on the parties involved in the contract.
Hence, a contract is legally binding and enforceable even if one of the parties was intoxicated at the time of its formation.

What is Oligopoly?A market structure known as an oligopoly has a limited number of enterprises, none of which can prevent the others from having a large impact. The market share of the major companies is calculated using the concentration ratio.
A market with a monopoly has only one producer, a duopoly has two businesses, and an oligopoly has three or more businesses. The maximum number of firms in an oligopoly is unknown, but it must be low enough so that each firm's actions have a significant impact on the others.
In the past, oligopolies have existed in the steel industry, the oil industry, the railroad industry, the tire industry, grocery store chains, and the wireless industry. An oligopoly can prevent new competitors from entering the market, stifle innovation, and raise prices, all of which are detrimental to consumers.

Slack Inc. borrowed $400,000 on April 1. The note requires interest at 12% and principal to be paid in one year. How much interest is recognized for the period from April 1 to December 31? a. $0. b. $48,000. c. $32,000. d. $36,000
Answer:
D.$36,000
Explanation:
Calculation for How much interest is recognized for the period from April 1 to December 31
First step is to find the 12% of the amount that was borrowed which is $400,000
$400,000×12%
=$48,000
Now let calculate for the amount of interest that is recognized from April 1 to December 31
Interest =$48,000×3/12
Interest =$12,000
Hence,
Interest =$48,000-$12,000
Interest=$36,000
Therefore the amount of interest that is recognized from April 1 to December 31 will be $36,000
Suppose that a museum of modern art discovers the following: adults are willing to pay $20 per ticket to see a Monet exhibit. Students are willing to pay less; 60% of students have WTP of $15, and 40% are willing to pay up to $10. There are no marginal costs to allowing more viewers into the museum. The museum manager decides to set the regular price at $20, and offer a student discount. What discount should it offer?
Answer:
50%
Explanation:
From the question we have here
If adults would pay 20$
Out of a 100% students:
60% would pay 15
40% would pay 10
If regular price = 20$
We are required to find discount
Discount = (20 - 10)/20 x 100
Discount = 0.5 x 100
Discount = 50%
The museum should offer 50percent discount.
Disturbed Corp. needs to raise $57 million to fund a new project. The company will sell shares at a price of $23.70 in a general cash offer and the company's underwriters will charge a spread of 7.5 percent. The direct flotation costs associated with the issue are $725,000 and the indirect costs are $445,000. How many shares need to be sold?
Answer: 2653438 shares
Explanation:
From the information given in the question, the following can be deduced:
The share price will be:
= $23.70 × (1 - 7.5%)
= $23.70 × (1 - 0.075)
= $23.70 × 0.925
= $21.9225
The money that will be raised will be:
= 57,000,000 + 725,000 + 445,000
= $58,170,000
The number of shares that are needed to be sold will be:
= $58,170,000/$21.9225
= 2653438 shares

To guard against your premature death, you want to purchase a life insurance policy that will replace $58,000 of your annual income until your child is 20 years old. How much life insurance should you purchase, if you assume a 3% inflation rate
Answer:
assuming the interest rate is = 15% the life insurance should you should purchase = $497854.0773
Explanation:
Given that :
Annual income receipt = $58000
Assumption:
If we assume that the inflation rate π = 3% = 0.03
Also , let assume that the interest rate is = 15% = 0.15 since it is not given too
Then the effective interest rate = [tex]\dfrac{ (i-\pi)}{(1+\pi)}[/tex]
the effective interest rate = [tex]\dfrac{ (0.15-0.03)}{(1+0.03)}[/tex]
the effective interest rate = [tex]\dfrac{ (0.12)}{(1.03)}[/tex]
the effective interest rate = 0.1165
the effective interest rate = 11.65%
Since n = [tex]\infty[/tex]
The Principal amount of how much life insurance should you purchase is;
= Annual income receipt/the effective interest rate
= $58000/ 0.1165
= $497854.0773
Abey Kuruvilla, of Parkside Plumbing, uses 1,210 of a certain spare part that costs $26 for each order, with an annual holding cost of $24. a) Calculate the total cost for order sizes of 25, 40, 50, 60, and 100 (round your responses to two decimal places).
Answer:
Annual demand(D) = 1,210
Ordering cost(S) = $26
Annual holding cost (H) = $24
With the order quantity(Q) = 25,
Total cost = Holding cost + ordering cost
= [(Q/2)H] + [(D/Q)S]
= [(25/2)24] + [(1210/25)26]
= $300 + $1258.4
= $1558.4
With the order quantity(Q) = 40,
Total cost = Holding cost + ordering cost
= [(Q/2)H] + [(D/Q)S]
= [(40/2)24] + [(1210/40)26]
= $480 + $786.5
= $1266.5
With the order quantity(Q) = 50,
Total cost = Holding cost + ordering cost
= [(Q/2)H] + [(D/Q)S]
= [(50/2)24] + [(1210/50)26]
= $600 + $605
= $1205
With the order quantity(Q) = 60,
Total cost = Holding cost + ordering cost
= [(Q/2)H] + [(D/Q)S]
= [(60/2)24] + [(1210/60)26]
= $720 + $524.33
= $1244.33
With the order quantity(Q) = 100,
Total cost = Holding cost + ordering cost
= [(Q/2)H] + [(D/Q)S]
= [(100/2)24] + [(1210/100)26]
= $1200 + $314.6
= $1514.6

c. $39600.
d. $2,926.00.
e. $962.19.
Answer:
a. $295.81
Explanation:
Total market value = (310 * 10.2) + (260 * 20.4)
Total market value = 3,162 + 5,304
Total market value = 8466
Joint cost allocated to L on basis of value
= [ (310 * 10.2) / 8,466] * 792
= (3,162 / 8,466) * 792
= $295.81
A couple thinking about retirement decide to put aside $3,000 each year in a savings plan that earns 8% interest. In 5 years they will receive a gift of $10,000 that also can be invested. a. How much money will they have accumulated 30 years from now
Answer:
Total future value= $408,334.38
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A couple thinking about retirement decide to put aside $3,000 each year in a savings plan that earns 8% interest. In 5 years they will receive a gift of $10,000 that also can be invested.
First, we will determine the future value of the annual deposit investment. We need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {3,000*[(1.08^30) - 1]} / 0.08
FV= $339,849.63
Now, for the $10,000:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 10,000*(1.08^25)
FV= $68,484.75
Total future value= 339,849.63 + 68,484.75
Total future value= $408,334.38

If Ben invests $3500 at 4% interest per year, how much additional money must he invest at 5 1 2 % annual interest to ensure that the interest he receives each year is 4 1 2 %
Answer:
Additional $1,750 must be invested by Ben.
Explanation:
Note: The question is not complete as some dots are omitted. The question is therefore given correctly before answering it as follows:
If Ben invests $3500 at 4% interest per year, how much additional money must he invest at 5 1/2 % annual interest to ensure that the interest he receives each year is 4 1/2 %.
The question is now answered as follows:
From the question, we have:
Initial amount invested = $3,500
Interest rate on initial amount invested = 4%, or 0.04
Interest amount from initial amount invested = Initial amount invested * Interest rate on initial amount invested = $3,500 * 4% = $140
Let y represents the additional amount to invest. Therefore, we have:
Interest rate of additional amount invested = 5 1/2% = 5.5% = 0.055
Interest amount from additional amount invested = y * Interest rate of additional amount invested = y * 0.055 = y0.055
Total interest amount = Interest amount from initial amount invested + Interest amount from additional amount invested = $140 + y0.055
New amount invested = Initial amount invested + y = $3,500 + y
Interest rate of new amount invested = 4 1/2% = 4.5% = 0.045
Interest amount from new amount invested = New amount invested * ($3,500 + y) * 0.045 = $157.50 + y0.045
Since total interest amount must equal interest amount from new amount invested, we equate the two and solve as follows:
Total interest amount = Interest amount from new amount invested
$140 + y0.055 = $157.50 + y0.045
We can now solve for y as follows:
y0.055 - y0.045 = $157.50 - $140
y0.01 = $17.50
y = 17.50 / 0.01
y = $1,750
Therefore, additional $1,750 must be invested by Ben.
