Suppose labor demand and supply are represented by the equations Demand: LD = 100 − 2W, Supply: LS = 2W. a. Find the equilibrium wage and employment level. b. Explain why $30 cannot be the market clearing wage. c. Suppose 5 workers are hired at a wage of $30. Show an example where an exchange can occur that is beneficial to multiple people. How much economic rent is generated by this transaction? d. If workers earn economic rent, does that mean they are being overpaid? e. Suppose all hiring in this market must be done through a union and the union has limited the supply of labor to 40 units. What wage will emerge in this market? How much economic rent have the employed members of the union gained? How much economic rent has been lost due to the limitation on union labor?
Answer:
Labor Demand and Supply
a) Equilibrium Wages = $25 and Equilibrium employment level = 2
b) $30 cannot be the market clearing wage. At $30 labor supply will outstrip labor demand. In that situation, there is no equilibrium of labor supply and demand.
c) If 5 workers are hired at a wage of $30, the wage bill will be equal to $150 ($30 * 5) and the 5 workers will be receiving an economic rent of $5 each ($30 - 25). The total economic rent is $25 ($5 * 5).
d) If workers earn economic rent, it does not mean that they are being overpaid. It simply means that they are being paid above the equilibrium wage.
e) The total wage will be $1,200($30 * 40). The total economic rent gained by the employed union members is $200 ($5 * 40). The economic rent lost by limitation on union labor cannot be quantified with the given information.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Demand: LD = 100 − 2W
Supply: LS = 2W
Equilibrium wage and employment level exist where Demand = Supply
i.e. LD = LS = 100 - 2W = 2W
Therefore 2W = 100 - 2W
= 4W = 100
= W = 100/4
= W = 25
Equilibrium Wages = $25
Equilibrium employment level = 2
b) Economic rent is the additional or extra income which a resource earns or generates over the normal earnings as a result of being put to use in its present form. This means that the extra income could be lost without jeopardizing the deployment of the resource to some productive use.
In fund A, $100,000 accumulates at an annual nominal rate of interest j compounded semiannually to $130,666.52 in 4 years. In fund B, $100,000 accumulates at an annual nominal rate of discount k compounded quarterly to $154,531.82 in 5 years. In fund C, $100,000 accumulates at an annual effective rate of interest j in year one and an annual effective rate of interest k in year 2. What is the balance in fund C at the end of year 2?
Answer:
at the end of year 2, the balance of fund C = $116,639.23
Explanation:
to determine the nominal semiannual interest rate j we can use the future value formula:
$130,666.52 = $100,000 x (1 + j)⁸
(1 + j)⁸ = $130,666.52 / $100,000 = 1.3066652
⁸√(1 + j)⁸ = ⁸√1.3066652
1 + j = 1.034000004
j = 0.034000004
effective annual interest j = (1 + 0.034000004)² - 1 = 0.069156 = 6.9156%
to determine the nominal quarterly interest rate k we can use the future value formula:
$154,531.82 = $100,000 x (1 + k)²⁰
(1 + k)²⁰ = $154,531.82 / $100,000 = 1.5453182
²⁰√(1 + k)²⁰ = ²⁰√1.5453182
1 + k = 1.022
k = 0.022
effective annual interest k = (1 + 0.022)⁴ - 1 = 0.090946828 = 9.094682805%
at the end of year 1, the balance of fund C = $100,000 x (1 + 6.9156%) = $106,915.60
at the end of year 2, the balance of fund C = $106,915.60 x (1 + 9.094682805%) = $116,639.23

If Jason did not want to support Gina’s plan solely because of the unpleasant consequences associated with approving a deal absent shareholder consent, he would be on the ______ level of Kohlberg’s theory.
Answer:
Preconventional
Explanation:
Lawrence Kohlberg was an American psychologist that postulated a theory on the stages of moral development.
According to him the stages of moral development are pre-conventional, conventional, and post-conventional.
In the pre-conventional people follow standard set of rules and are afraid to break the rules because of the consequences.
Conventional stage is where moral standards are internalised and reasoning is influenced by the group one belongs to.
Post-conventional stage is where choices are based on individual principle.
In this scenario Jason did not want to support Gina’s plan solely because of the unpleasant consequences associated with approving a deal absent shareholder consent. This is the pre-conventional stage

For a two-stock portfolio, what would be the preferred correlation coefficient between the two stocks?
Answer:
-1
Explanation:
The correlation coefficient can range from -1 to 1. It measures how one stock (or security) reacts to any change in the price of performance of another stock (or security). When the correlation is -1, it means that there is no relationship between how the stocks will perform, i.e. they are completely uncorrelated.
With reference to the job characteristics model, which of the following defines task identity?a. the degree to which a job requires completion of a whole and identifiable piece of work.b. the degree to which work activities generate direct and clear information about performance.c. the degree to which a job provides the worker freedom in scheduling and procedured. the degree to which a job has an impact on the lives or work of other peopleE) the degree to which a job requires a variety of different activities
Answer:
a. The degree to which a job requires completion of a whole and identifiable piece of work
Explanation:
According to job characteristics model, what motivates an employee to be productive is the task he or she is asked to perform. Ideally, when a task is somewhat challenging, such would motivate the worker to exert his or her energy hence perform well on the task whereas a non challenging task wears down an employee's performance.
The model states that there are five core job characteristics that would show how a job is likely to affect the behaviors and attitude of employees. They are task identity, task variety, feedback, autonomy and task significance.
Therefore, according to the model, task identity is the degree to which a job requires completion of a whole and identifiable piece of work.

Holding other factors constant, if bad weather destroys the annual crop for carrots, it causes the supply curve for carrots to
Options:
a. Shift to the left, causing the prices of carrots to rise
b. Shift to the left, causing the prices of carrots to fall
c. Stay the same
d. The supply curve does not shift. Only the demand curve shifts.
Answer:
a. Shift to the left, causing the prices of carrots to rise
Explanation:
Indeed, going by the law of supply and holding all other factors constant, we would expect the supply curve to shift to the left, which implies that there would be an increase in the price of carrots.
What this means is that because there are now fewer carrots in the market as a result of the effects of the bad weather, there would be scarcity and so sellers would increase prices.
Under the FINRA Conduct Rules, a broker-dealer may charge a customer all of the following services except:_______.a. collection of dividends on margin securities.
b. safekeeping of securities.
c. appraisals of securities in a customer portfolio.
d. distributing proxies to holders of securities in margin account.
Answer:
distributing proxies to holders of securities in margin account
Explanation:
Proxies are voting materials on shares that are given by the issuer of the shares to the brokerage that is holding the shares.
Proxies are paid for by the issuer and not the customer.
A broker is allowed to charge for various services rendered. For trading and market related services the 5% rule holds, while for other clerical services such as collection of dividends, safe keeping appraisal of securities, and transfer of securites.
Charges must be fair and reasonable.

Yong produces silk and polyester fabrics. Management has compiled the following unit selling price and unit cost information for the fabrics: Yong uses the same weaving machine to make both types of fabric. It takes 0.5 hours to make 1 yard of polyester fabric and 0.75 hours to make 1 yard of silk fabric. The machine can be operated a total of 5,000 hours per year. What is the contribution margin per machine hour for silk?
Answer:
$9.05
Explanation:
the information about prices and costs is missing, so I looked it up:
contribution margin per yard for silk = $18 - $4.10 - $2.70 - $3.51 - $0.90 = $6.79
contribution margin per yard for polyester = $10.20 - $0.80 - $2.90 - $3.77 - $0.60 = $2.13
contribution margin per machine hour:
silk = $6.79 x 1/0.75 = $9.05
polyester = $2.13 x 1/0.5 = $4.16
Torrid Romance Publishers has total receivables of $2,800, which represents 20 days’ sales. Total assets are $73,000. The firm’s operating profit margin is 5.9%. Find the firm's ROA and asset turnover ratio. (Use 365 days in a year. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
ROA=4.13
Asset turnover ratio = 0.70 times
Explanation:
1.Computation for ROA
Using this formula
ROA=Net income/Total assets
First step is to find Day's sales in receivables before calculating for the sales amount
Day's sales in receivables = Numbers of days in a year/Total receivables days sales
Let plug in the formula
Day's sales in receivables = 365 / 20
Day's sales in receivables = 18.25times
Now let find the Sales amount using this formula
Sales= Day's sales in receivables× Total receivables
Let plug in the formula
Sales = 18.25 times × $2,800
Sales=$51,100
Second step is to find the Net income
Using this formula
Net income =Percentage of Operating margin× Sales amount
Let plug in the formula
Net income=5.9%×$51,100
Net income =$3,014.90
Now let find the ROA using this formula
ROA=Net income/Total assets
Let plug in the formula
ROA=$3,014.90/$73,000
ROA=0.0413×100
ROA=4.13%
Therefore ROA will be 4.13%
2. Computation for asset turnover ratio
First step is to calculate for the Receivables turnover
Using this formula
Day's sales in receivables = Numbers of days in a year/Total receivables days sales
Let plug in the formula
Day's sales in receivables = 365 / 20
Day's sales in receivables = 18.25times
Second step is to find the Sales amount using this formula
Sales= Day's sales in receivables× Total receivables
Sales = 18.25 times × $2,800
Sales=$51,100
Now let calculate for the Asset turnover ratio using this formula
Asset turnover ratio = Sales / Total assets
Let plug in the formula
Asset turnover ratio= $51,100 / $73,000
Asset turnover ratio= 0.70 times
Therefore asset turnover ratio will be 0.70 times

Suppose one U.S. dollar can purchase a half pound of strawberries in the United States. After converting dollar to pesos, one U.S. dollar can now purchase a full pound of strawberries in Mexico. These values represe:_________.
Answer:
The answer is:
a real exchange rate
Explanation:
The last word in the question seems to be incomplete, I am assuming that the intended word is "represent".
Real Exchange Rate (RER), also known as Real Effective Exchange Rates (REER) is an exchange rate that compares the relative price of the two countries' consumption baskets (what the average consumer buys and its price indicates how much consumers pay for it). It gives information beyond the nominal exchange rate or the relative prices of two currencies. In this example, the RER between the U.S dollar and the Mexican Pesos is used to determine what the U.S. dollar can buy in Mexico, as compared to what that same amount can buy in the U.S. This helps to tell us if a currency is undervalued or overvalued.

(1-b) Did the current ratio improve or worsen over the three year period? (2-a) Compute the acid-test ratio for each of the three years. (2-b) Did the acid-test ratio improve or worsen over the three year period?
Answer:
1a. Current ratio = Current assets / Current Liabilities
Current year = $224,517 / $120168 = 1.88 : 1
1 years ago = $175,652 / $70,310 = 2.50 : 1
2 years ago =$134,088 / $44,840 = 2.99 : 1
1b. The Current ratio worse over three years period
2a. Acid test ratio = (Cash + Investment + Account Receivables) / Current liabilities
Current year = ($29,328 + $0 + $83,351) / $120,168 = 0.94 : 1
1 year ago = ($32,285 + $0 + $57,663) / $70,310 = 1.28 : 1
2 year ago = ($34,323 + $0 + $45,764) / $44,840 = 1.79 : 1
2b. The Acid test ratio are worse over three years period

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question
Beaver Company used a predetermined overhead rate last year of $2 per direct labour hour based on an estimate of 25,000 direct labour hours to be worked during the year. Actual costs and activity during the year were:
Actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred = $47,000
Actual direct labour hours worked = 24,000
What was the under- or overapplied overhead last year?
Answer:
1,000 overapplied
Explanation:
Beaver company made use of a predetermined overhead rate last year
$2 per direct labour hour on an estimate of 25,000 direct labour hours
The actual costs during the year is $47,000
The actual direct labour hours was 24,000
Therefore, the over or underapplied for last year can be calculated as follows
= (24,000×2)-47,000
= 48,000-47,000
= 1,000 overapplied
Hence, the overhead last year was 1,000 overapplied

In public stock companies, which of the following expectations of principals is most likely to lead to principal-agent problems?A) The expectation that the agent will follow the country's laws and regulationsB) The expectation that the agent will go above and beyond the call of dutyC) The expectation that the agent will reconnect economic and social needsD) The expectation that the agent will act in the principal's best interest
Answer:
C
Explanation:
The principal-agent problem is the conflict of interest that occurs between the principal and the agent. The principal expects the agent to act in his best interest but this might not be the case as the agent might pursue his own personal interest to the detriment of the principal.
For example, an agent might take on a project that has a negative NPV because he wants to increase the amount of project he handles so he would appear more important. This would be at the detriment of the principal but an advantage to the agent
Which of the following is not a characteristic of a change agent that would cause resistance to change?
a. lack of tact
b. failure to legitimize change
c. respecting existing cultural traditions
d. autocratic leadership style
Answer:
respecting existing cultural traditions
Explanation:
Resistance to change is being unwilling to change to new circumstances. It can be very disruptive especially in a work environment. Employees can show resistance to change in such situations where the leadership is autocratic, lack of tact, and failure to legitimize change.
A situation whereby cultural traditions in existence are being respected, it would be a more favorable work condition. Therefore option c is the answer.
A trend line has been fitted to a company's annual sales. The trend is given by yt = 50 + 5t, where t is the time index (t = 1, 2, . . . , n) and yt is annual sales (in millions of dollars). The implication of this trend line is that sales are expected to increase:________.
A. by exactly 5 percent every year.
B. by an average of $5 million per year.
C. by $5 million every year.
D. by an average of 5 percent per year.
Answer:

In an era of particularly low interest rates, which of the following bonds is most likely to be called? A. zero-coupon bonds B. coupon bonds selling at a discount C. Coupon bonds selling at a premium D. floating-rate bonds
Answer: coupon bonds selling at a premium
Explanation:
A premium bond is simply a bond that is being traded at a higher level than it's par value. A bond will typically trade at a premium when such bond gives an
interest rate which is above the current interest rates that is being offered for new bonds.
Therefore, in an era of particularly low interest rates, coupon bonds selling at a premium is most likely to be called.

If the marginal propensity to consume is 0.30 , what is the multiplier, assuming there are no taxes or imports
Answer:
Multiplier or k = 1.428571429 rounded off to 1.43
Explanation:
A change in consumer income leading to an increased consumer spending based on the Marginal propensity to consume or MPC can have a much larger effect in the economy due to the multiplier. A multiplier is the is the amount of new income that is generated form an addition of extra income.
The marginal propensity to consume or MPC is the percentage of the additional income that will be used for consumption spending. The formula to calculate the multiplier, also denoted as k, is:
k = 1 / (1 - MPC)
k = 1 / (1 - 0.3)
k = 1.428571429 rounded off to 1.43
Replacing obsolete components piece by piece rather than changing the entire product is made possible because of ______.
Answer:
modular design
Explanation:
Modular design is when the faulty part of a system or process is being repaired in a piecemeal instead of replacing the whole system so that they can be more efficient. These means that the faulty parts are broken into smaller units and then rearranged to a larger unit hence increase efficiency. The idea here is not to replace the whole system but to fix or repair or change the faulty area.
Where modular design is adopted by a firm, there would be improvement and consistency in terms of whatever systems or products a firm might be engaging in.
