A monopolist that practices perfect price discrimination has the same deadweight loss triangle as the single-price monopolist.
a) true
b) false
Answer:
The correct answer is the option B: False.
Explanation:
To begin with, the price discrimination strategy refers to a technique used by the companies in order to charge different prices to the different consumers regarding the fact of how much would they be able to pay for the product. When it comes to monopolies, a perfect price discrimination strategy would try as best as possible to capture the majority of the zone known as the "consumer surplus". And that is why that a company with a perfect price discrimination would face a small deadweight loss area due to the fact that with that strategy of price the monopolist will absorve as much as possible of that area becuase the triangle is half consumer surplus and half producer surplus.
Which of the following does not represent an outflow of cash and therefore would not be reported on the statement of cash flows as a use of cash?
a. purchase of noncurrent assets
b. purchase of treasury stock
c. discarding an asset that had been fully depreciated.
Answer:
The answer is C.
Explanation:
Discarding an asset that had been fully depreciated is the correct answer. No exchange of cash was involved in this unlike the purchase of non current asset(which is a cash outflow under investing activities) and the purchase of treasury stock (which is a cash outflow under financing activities).
Discarding a fully depreciated asset only is a non cash transaction.

Jason has a loan that requires a single payment of $6,000 at the end of 3 years. The loan's interest rate is 10%, compounded semiannually. How much did Jason borrow? (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
Answer:
Jason borrowed $4,4,77.29
Explanation:
In order to calculate this, let we will use the formula for the future value on an invested amount, semiannually, yielding interest at a certain interest rate. This is done as follows:
[tex]FV\ =\ PV(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{(n\times t)}[/tex]
where:
FV = future value = $6,000 (loan repayment)
PV = present value = amount borrowed = ??
r = interest rate = 10% = 10/100 = 0.1
n = number of compounding periods per year = 2
t = time = 3 years
[tex]6,000\ =\ PV(1+\frac{0.1}{2} )^{(2\times 3)}\\6,000\ =\ PV(1+ 0.05)^{6}\\6,000\ =\ PV(1.05)^{6}\\6,000\ =\ PV (1.340096)\\diving\ both\ sides\ by\ 1.340096\\PV = \frac{6,000}{1.340096} \\PV = \$4,477.29[/tex]
Therefore, Jason borrowed $4,4,77.29
Winston contracts to sell a plot of land called Blackacre to Paris for $500,000. Winston breaches the contract and Paris sues him. Blackacre's reasonable market value at the time of the breach was $525,000. Paris can recover: Group of answer choices only $25,000.
Answer:
Correct Answer:
C) only $25,000.
Explanation:
In the case between Blackacre and Paris over the piece of land, the value recoverable will be the difference between the original value of the land the the newest value of the land when the breach of contract occurs. Hence, the only amount recoverable by Paris would be $25, 000.

Cost of common stock: Whitewall Tire Co. just paid a $1.60 dividend on its common shares. If Whitewall is expected to increase its annual dividend by 2 percent per year into the foreseeable future and the current price of Whitewall common shares is $11.66, what is the cost of common stock for Whitewall
Answer:
Cost of common stock for Whitewall is 16.00%
Explanation:
Ke = D1 / Price +g
D1 = Ke (Price + g)
D1 = $1.60 * (1+0.02)
D1 = $1.60 * (1.02)
D1 = $1.632
Ke = D1 / Price +g
We solve for Current dividend to derive the Cost of common stick
Ke = 1.632 / (11.66) + 2%
Ke = 1.632 / 11.66 + 0.02
Ke = 0.139966 + 0.02
Ke = 0.159966
Ke = 15.9966%
Ke = 16.00%
On January 1, the listed spot and futures prices of a Treasury bond were 95.4 and 95.6. You sold $100,000 par value Treasury bonds and purchased one Treasury bond futures contract. One month later, the listed spot price and futures prices were 95 and 94.4, respectively. If you were to liquidate your position, your profits would be a Group of answer choices $125 profit. $1,060.50 loss. None of the options are correct. $125 loss. $1,062.50 profit.
Answer:
None of the options are correct.
Explanation:
We start by calculating the net change of the treasury bond position.
= $95,125 - $95,000
= $125
The long treasury bond position gains $125 after a month.
We will also calculate the net change of the treasury bond futures contract.
= $94,125 - $95,187.50
= -$1,062.50
Therefore, Net profits is;
= $125 - $1,062.50
= -$937.50
Rent expense of $3,000 is allocated to Department A and Department B based on square footage. Department A has 5,000 square feet and Department B has 2,500 square feet.
The dollar amount of rent expense allocated to Department B is:_______
Answer:
$1,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the Dollar amount of rent expense allocated to department B
Using this formula
Expense allocated to Department B= Rent expense allocated to Department A and B* Department B square feet/Department A and Department B Square foot
Let plug in the formula
Expense allocated to department B =$3,000*2,500/5,000+2,500
Expense allocated to department B= $3,000 * 2,500 / 7,500
Expense allocated to department B =$7,500,000/7,500
Expense allocated to department B= $1,000
Therefore the Dollar amount of rent expense allocated to department B will be $1,000
1. What are Regional Trading Blocs (RTBs)? Explain the 4 types of RTBs, making sure that the difference(s) between them is/are clearly stated as we move from one level to another. Discuss three (3) each of the advantages and disadvantages of the European Union to a named member country.
Answer:
Trading blocks are groups of countries who form trade agreements between themselves. Trading blocks can include
Free trade areas – elimination of tariffs between economies in the trading block
Customs union – free trade area + a common external tariff with non-members
Economic union/Single market – Customs union + common rules and regulations.
Different types of trading blocks
free-trade-customs-union
Trading blocks have become increasingly influential for world trade.
They have advantages in enabling free trade between geographically close countries. This can lead to lower prices, increased export potential, higher growth, economies of scale and greater competition.
However, it can lead to compromise as countries pool economic sovereignty. Also, the move to free trade tends to create winners and losers – with some domestic industries losing out to lower-cost imports.
Examples of Global trading blocks
Free_Trade_Areas
Free trade areas
European Union – The most integrated trading block. The EU27 have free trade and common regulations and are part of a customs union.
NAFTA – North Atlantic Free Trade Association. A free trade area between Canada, US and Mexico
ASEAN Free Trade Area Free trade area in South East Asia founded 1992. Includes: Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar and Cambodia.
SAFTA South Asia free trade area based around the Indian sub-continent. Includes Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
Mercosur – a southern American trading block formed in 1991. Includes full members of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. With associate members including Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador. Developed from free trade area to become customs union.
African Union 55 countries of the continent of Africa. Created to forge closer political and economic ties. It has aspirations to become a free trade area.
Difference between free trade area and customs union
A customs union has a common external tariff on imports. This means that it doesn’t matter which country the imports enter – because all countries have the same import tariff. This means there doesn’t need to be internal checking on ‘Rules of origin‘. For example, if imports from Africa enter Spain then if goods travel across the border from Spain to France, there is no need to check whether goods are paying the correct import tariff – because the import tariffs are all the same.
A disadvantage of joining a customs union is that a country is not able to pursue its own independent trade deals. However, since trade deals are complicated and take several years, there is an advantage to negotiating trade deals as part of a regional trade block – rather than separate individual countries.
Advantages of trading blocks
Tariff removal leads to trade creation – lower prices for consumers and greater opportunity for exporters.
Increased trade enables increased specialisation – which gives benefits of economies of scale (lower average costs from increased output)
gravity-theory
Catch-up effects. Countries joining a rich trading block can benefit from inward investment and increased trade opportunities. Countries in Eastern Europe have made considerable progress in catching up with average income levels in Western Europe.
Gravity theory of trade suggests that trade with countries in close proximity is the most important due to lower transport and similar cultural and economic ties.
Gives small countries a greater say in global trade agreements
Increased competition. The removal of tariffs creates greater choice for consumers. Therefore domestic firms have a greater incentive to cut costs to remain competitive.
Disadvantages of trading blocks
Joining a customs union may lead to increased import tariffs – which leads to trade diversion. For example, when the UK joined the EEC customs union, it required higher import tariffs on imports from former Commonwealth countries. This led to switch in demand towards higher-cost European countries and caused loss of business for Commonwealth countries
Increased interdependence on economic performance in other countries in trading block. If Eurozone goes into recession, it will affect all countries in the Eurozone. However, this is almost inevitable even if countries are not formally in a trading block due to a close relationship between trade cycles in different countries.
Determine the value-added, non-value-added, and total lead times, and the value-added ratio under the present and proposed production approaches. If required, round percentages to one decimal place. Present Approach Proposed Approach Value-added time 23 min 23 min Non-value-added time 1,582 min 105 min Total lead time 1,605 min 1,605 min Value-added ratio (as a percent) 14 % 21 %
Answer:
Hello some parts of your question is missing attached below is the missing part
Answer : value added times : 30 minutes , 30 minutes
non-value added times: 1210 minutes, 130 minutes
Total lead times : 1240 minutes, 160 minutes
value added time as a ratio: 2.4%, 18.8%
Explanation:
Given data:
production batch sizes = 40 units
process step 1 = 6 minutes
process step 2 = 10 minutes
process step 3 = 6 minutes
process step 4 = 8 minutes
Determining : The value added, non-value added , total lead times and value added ratio under the present and proposed production approaches
UNDER PRESENT PRODUCTION APPROACH
Th value added time:
= summation of all process times = (6+10+6+8) = 30 minutes
Non-value added time:
= Value added time *(Batch size -1) + move time between each step
= 30*39+8*5
= 1170 +40 = 1210 minutes
total lead time :
= value added time + non-value added time
= 30 + 1210 = 1240 minutes
value added time as a percentage/ratio
(value added time / total lead time) * 100
= 30 / 1240 * 100 = 2.4%
UNDER PROPOSED PRODUCTION APPROACH
value added time :
= summation of all process times = (6+10+6+8) = 30 minutes
Non-value added time :
= Value added time *(Batch size -1) + time between each step
= 30*4+2*5 = 120 + 10 = 130 mins
total lead time :
= value added time + non-value added time = 30 +130 = 160 mins
value added time as a percentage/ratio:
(value added time / total lead time ) * 100
= (30 / 160) * 100 = 18.8%
Suppose that hypothetically there are only two countries in the world: Japan and South Korea Now suppose that at the end of year 2, Japan has positive net exports of $20 billion against South Korea. In addition, Japan has earned $1 billion in interest from its South Korean assets over the course of year 2. Question: What are the respective balances for the current account, and the financial and capital account for Japan at the end of year 2
Answer:
i) $21 billion
ii) $0
iii) $0
Explanation:
GIVEN DATA : ( two countries )
At the end of year 2
net exports = $20 billion for Japan
Interest earned from assets = $1 billion for Japan
i) The balances for the current account for Japan
export value + interest earned from assets
= $20 billion + $1 billion = $21 billion
ii) Financial account for Japan
Financial account for Japan will be zero because there is no increase or decrease in number of its assets within the given period
iii) capital account for Japan
Capital account of Japan will will have a zero balance. this is because Capital account is used to record foreign investments, local investment and the reserve account as well. and there was no investment captured within the given time that was made by Japan
Lisa loaned $6,000 to her brother several years ago. In the current year, she determines that the loan is uncollectible. Lisa also has a $4,000 long-term capital gain in the current year from a stock sale. How much of the $6,000 loan can Lisa use/deduct in the current year g
Answer:
$0
Explanation:
Data provided in the question
Loaned amount several years ago = $6,000
Long term capital gain = $4,000
Based on the above information
Lisa is not in the position to subtract the loss from the loan i.e. uncollectible as according to the Internal revenue service (IRS) it is mentioned that if the loan is given to a brother the same is treated as a gift
So, the amount would be $0
The following data were reported by a corporation: Authorized shares 38,000 Issued shares 33,000 Treasury shares 12,500 The number of outstanding shares is:
Answer:
20,500 shares
Explanation:
Authorized shares= 38,000
Issued shares= 33,000
Treasury shares= 12,500
Therefore, the number of outstanding shares can be calculated as follows
Outstanding shares= Issued shares-Treasury shares
= 33,000-12,500
=20,500
Hence the number of outstanding shares is 20,500

At the beginning of the current year, both Doug and Amelia each own 50% of Amaryllis Corporation (a calendar year taxpayer). In July, Doug sold his stock to Kevin for $140,000. At the beginning of the year, Amaryllis Corporation had accumulated E& P of $240,000 and its current E & P is $280,000 (prior to any distributions). Amaryllis distributed $300,000 on February 15 ($150,000 to Doug and $150,000 to Alfred) and distributed another $300,000 on November 1 ($150,000 to Kevin and $150,000 to Alfred). Kevin has dividend income of:_______
a. $150,000.b. $140,000.c. $110,000.d. $70,000.e. None of the above.
Answer:
Kevin has dividend income of:_______
a. $150,000.
Explanation:
Kevin became a 50% shareholder of Amaryllis in July. So, Kevin is entitled to receive 50% of any distributions made by Amaryllis from the July date. Since Amaryllis distributed $300,000 on November 1, Kevin will receive a dividend income equivalent to $150,000 from Amaryllis. The remaining 50% goes to his partner in business. Kevin could not be entitled to the distribution made on February 15, by which date he was not yet a shareholder of Amaryllis.
In what way did Henry Ford’s use of the assembly-line method of production represent an advance in technology in automobile manufacturing?
Answer: a. It allowed workers to specialize on specific tasks and become more productive.
Explanation:
The Assembly line method of production that Henry Ford initiated at his plant was a technological game changer as it enabled workers to assemble cars faster and this mass produce Ford cars at a cheaper rate for the masses.
The Assembly line worked by putting workers at various stages of the assembly line where they would focus on installing only one or a few parts into the prospective vehicle. This way they were able to focus on that specific task, become more adept at it and thus become more productive.

Mojo Mining has a bond outstanding that sells for $2,120 and matures in 18 years. The bond pays semiannual coupons and has a coupon rate of 6.66 percent. The par value is $2,000. If the company's tax rate is 40 percent, what is the aftertax cost of debt?
A. 3.96%
B. 6.24%
C. 5.82%
D. 3.66%
E. 3.45%
Answer:
D. 3.66%
Explanation:
For computing the after tax cost of debt we need to apply the RATE formula i.e to be shown in the attachment
Given that,
Present value = $2,120
Future value or Face value = $2,000
PMT = $2,000 × 6.6% ÷ 2 = $66.60
NPER = 18 years × 2 = 36 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after solving this,
1. The pretax cost of debt is 3.05% × 2 % = 6.10%
2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be
= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)
= 6.10% × ( 1 - 0.40)
= 3.66%

Company FM2 must pay 100,000 in 4 years. In order to fully immunize from changes in interest rate, the company invests in a 3 year zero coupon bond that matures for 45,000 and a 5 year zero coupon bond that matures for X. The actuary for Company FM2 determined that their portfolio fully immunized their ability to meet their obligations at the current interest rate i. Calculate i.
Answer:
5. 11.1%
Explanation:
the options for this question are missing:
5%7.8%10%10.5%11.1%I prepared the following equation:
$100,000 = $45,000(1 + i)³ + x(1 + i)⁵
There is something that we must remember about zero coupon bonds, and that is that they are sold in thousands. This equation is complex, but there is an easier way to solve it. We can plug in the options to determine which % will result in a possible answer.
The answer is 11.1%, since the other options resulted in numbers which are not even close to a thousand.
$100,000 = $45,000(1.111)³ + x(1.111)⁵
$100,000 = $61,709.88 + 1.2763x
$38,290.12 = 1.2763x
x = $38,290.12 / 1.2763 = $30,000
Factor Co. can produce a unit of product for the following costs: Direct material $ 8.40 Direct labor 24.40 Overhead 42.00 Total costs per unit $ 74.80 An outside supplier offers to provide Factor with all the units it needs at $43.40 per unit. If Factor buys from the supplier, the company will still incur 70% of its overhead. Factor should choose to:
Answer: Buy since the relevant cost to make it is $46.45.
Explanation:
given data:
Direct material = $ 8.40
Direct labor = 24.40
Overhead = 42.00
Total costs per unit = $ 74.80
had to complete the question.
Multiple Choice
Buy since the relevant cost to make it is $63.85.
Make since the relevant cost to make it is $46.45.
Buy since the relevant cost to make it is $46.45.
Make since the relevant cost to make it is $33.40.
Buy since the relevant cost to make it is $33.40.
Solution:
Relevant cost to consider = Direct Material + Direct labor + (Overhead * 30%)
= $8.70 + $24.70 + ($43.50 * 30%)
= $46.45
Answer:
The units should purchased from the outside supplier.
Explanation:
production costs:
Direct material $8.40
Direct labor $24.40
Overhead $42.00
Total costs per unit $74.80
avoidable costs = $8.40 + $24.40 + (30% x $42) = $45.40
unavoidable costs = $74.80 - $45.40 = $29.40
costs of purchasing from outside vendor = $43.40 + $29.40 = $72.80
since the total costs of purchasing the unit from an outside vendor are lower than the total production costs, then they should buy them from the outside supplier.
Sheridan Company has several outdated computers that cost a total of $18200 and could be sold as scrap for $6200. They could be updated for an additional $3000 and sold. If Sheridan updates the computers and sells them, net income will increase by $9000. What amount would be considered sunk costs
Answer:
$18200
Explanation:
Sunk cost is cost that has already been incurred and cannot be recovered. It should not be considered when making future decisions.
The computers costs $18200. This amount has already been incurred and it cannot be recovered.
1. A research project began with the selection of women who had recently had abdominal surgery. The project matched those women with controls and continued with measurements of abdominal muscle strength for both groups every three months for a year. This project was: A. Prospective study B. Retrospective study C. Experimental study D. Cross sectional study
Answer:
Abdominal rectus diastasis is a condition where the abdominal muscles are separated by an abnormal distance due to widening of the linea alba causing the abdominal content to bulge. It is commonly acquired in pregnancies and with larger weight gains. Even though many patients suffer from the condition, treatment options are poorly investigated including the effect of physiotherapy and surgical treatment. The symptoms include pain and discomfort in the abdomen, musculoskeletal and urogynecological problems in addition to negative body image and impaired quality of life. The purpose of this review was to give an overview of treatment options for abdominal rectus diastasis.
Results: The first treatment step is physiotherapy. However, evidence is lacking on which regimen to use and success rates are not stated. The next step is surgery, either open or laparoscopic, and both surgical approaches have high success rates. The surgical approach includes different plication techniques. The recurrence and complication rates are low, complications are minor, and repair improves low back pain, urinary incontinence, and quality of life. Robotic assisted surgery might become a possibility in the near future, but data are still lacking.
Conclusions: Evidence on what conservatory treatment to use is sparse, and more research needs to be done. Both open and laparoscopic surgery have shown positive results. Innovative treatment by robotic assisted laparoscopic surgery has potential, however, more research needs to be done in this area as well. An international guideline for the treatment of rectus diastasis could be beneficial for patients and clinicians.
