Answer:
Yes, a macroeconomist would be interested in how individual consumers respond to an increase in taxes on gasoline
Explanation:
The responses registered knowingly or unknowingly by the individuals affected by changes in certain taxes are largely identical to each other. This is because the majority of people who are anyway affected by such changes belong to the middle class. It is from the responses of multiple individuals, the mood of the entire society in line with the changes in the taxes can be speculated. Most of the time, it is seen that an unprecedented increase in the tax levied over a common commodity affects the middle class negatively. Whereas, on the other hand, a decrease in the same provides them relief to some extent. Hence, the responses of individuals collectively form the response of an entire society that is subjected to changes in taxes, clearly attracting the attention of a macroeconomist." If a 1 percent increase in price results in less than a 1 percent decrease in quantity demand, demand is: "
Answer:
inelastic
Explanation:
when we are measuring hte price elasticity of demand (PED), we calculate it by dividing the ]% change in quantity by the % change in price.
If the price of a product increases by 1%, and the quantity demanded changes in a smaller %, the PED is < 1, so it is inelastic. If the price of a product increases by 1%, and the quantity demanded changes in a larger %, the PED is > 1, so it is elastic. If the price of a product increases by 1%, and the quantity demanded changes in same 1%, the PED is = 1, so it is unit elastic.The outstanding bonds of Tech Express have a face value of $1,000 and mature in 10 years. They are currently priced at $989. These bonds have a 6 percent coupon and pay interest annually. Ten-year Treasury bonds are currently yielding 3.4 percent. If the firm’s tax rate is 28 percent, what is the firm's after-tax cost of debt? (round answer to whole number with two decimal points: i.e., use 1.23 percent instead of 0.0123)
Answer:
the firm's after-tax cost of debt is 4.43 %.
Explanation:
Cost of Debt is the return required by providers of debt capital to the company.
First Determine the yield of the Tech Express bonds, r
Pv = - $989
pmt = $1,000 × 6.00 % = $60
p/yr = 1
n = 10
Fv = $1,000
r = ?
Using a Financial Calculator, the yield of the Tech Express bonds, r is 6.1505 %.
Therefore,
Cost of Debt = Interest × ( 1 - tax rate)
= 6.1505 % × ( 1 - 0.28)
= 4.43 %

Low Fly Airline is expected to pay a dividend of $7 in the coming year. Dividends are expected to grow at the rate of 15% per year. The required return is 30%. What is the intrinsic value of the stock?
Answer:
Intrinsic value of the stock = $46.67
Explanation:
D1 = $7
Required return = 30%
Growth rate = 15%
Intrinsic value of the stock = D1 / (Required return - Growth rate)
Intrinsic value of the stock = $7/(0.3 - 0.15)
Intrinsic value of the stock = $7 / 0.15
Intrinsic value of the stock = $46.67
Consider the following per unit data for Jennifer Company, a seller of tables and chairs: What is the weighted-average unit contribution margin for Jennifer Company?
Answer:
$28 per unit
Explanation:
since the information is missing, I looked for similar questions:
contribution margin per chair = $50 - $35 = $15
contribution margin per table = $200 - $120 = $80
sales mix: 4 chairs + 1 table
contribution margin per sales mix = (4 x $15) + $80 = $140
weighted average contribution margin = $140 / 5 = $28

The minimum wage is an example of a Group of answer choices price ceiling. price door. price wall. price floor.
Answer:
price floor
Explanation:
A price ceiling is a limit that is established by the government that determines the highest price that can be charged for a product or service.
A price floor is a control that is established by the government that determines the lowest price for a product or service.
According to this, the answer is that the minimum wage is an example of a price floor because it determines the minimum amount that a company can pay to a worker.
The other options are not right because a price ceiling establishes the highest price for a product and price door and price wall are not price controls.

At the end of the fiscal year, the usual adjusting entry for depreciation on equipment was omitted. Which of the following statements is true?
a. Total assets will be understated at the end of the current year
b. The balance sheet and income statement will be misstated but the statement of owner's equity will be correct for the current year.
c. Net income will be overstated for the current year.
d. Total liabilities and total assets will be understated.
Answer:
c. Net income will be overstated for the current year.
Explanation:
Depreciation is defined as the reduction in the value of an asset over the period of it's useful life.
The deductions are calculated and taken out of the asset value on the balance sheet.
The adjusting entry for depreciation at the end of year is a debit to Depreciation Expense and a credit to Accumulated depreciation.
If this entry is no passed it means that Depreciation Expense is not recognised for that year.
Net income will be overstated because generally expenses will be understated.

A firm has a managerial cost of $120 and charges a price of $40. the lerner index for this firm is:_______A. 0.20. B. 0.50. C. 0.33. D. 0.75.
Answer:
B. 0.50
Explanation:
Lerner index = (price - marginal cost) / price
I guess that the question wasn't copied correctly, since it shouldn't say managerial costs, instead it should say marginal costs. And to be honest, marginal costs should either be $10 or $20, not $120 if the sales price is only $40.
Assuming a marginal cost of $20, then the Lerner index = ($40 - $20) / $40 = $20 / $40 = 0.5
The Lerner index measures the markup over marginal costs.

Explanation:
Why might these sources of individual values not prove very helpful when making complex business decisions
Answer:
The first part of the question is missing:
"We all learn values from sources such as family, religion, and school. Why might these..."
To be honest, most of the time business decisions are not clean cut ethical or unethical, even if you are not doing anything wrong or illegal. When you are doing business you will try to make the largest possible profit and money doesn't just appear from no where, if you earn money, you will be taking it away from someone else. In the best case scenario, you will be giving that customer a higher perceived value than the cost of your product or service, so everyone wins.
But many times, not everyone wins. E.g. you manage a construction company and you will bid for a project, hopefully you will win and make money, but others will lose. Empathy is good for marketing, but very bad for finances.
When thousands of jobs are replaced not by Chinese workers, but instead by computers and robots, it's just bad luck for the unemployed. When large stores like Sears go bankrupt while Amazon surges, good for Amazon, bad for Sears.

A company issues a ten-year bond at par with a coupon rate of 6.5% paid semi-annually. The YTM at the beginning of the third year of the bond (8 years left to maturity) is 8.6%. What is the new price of the bond
Answer:
$880.31
Explanation:
For computing the new price of the bond we need to apply the present value formula i.e to be shown in the attachment
Given that,
Assuming Future value = $1,000
Rate of interest = 8.6% ÷ 2 = 4.3%
NPER = 8 years × 2 =
PMT = $1,000 × 6.5% ÷ 2 = $32.5
The formula is shown below:
= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)
So, after applying the above formula, the present value is $880.31

Answer:
In the airline industry, consolidation among fuel providers serving airport facilities would be considered as ____ factor in the five forces model of competition.
c. an increase in the bargaining power of suppliers of a critical input
Explanation:
When the fuel providers consolidate their businesses, they increase their bargaining power. The airlines' bargaining power has been reduced with the consolidation. While it is easier to negotiate with a single service or product provider, the divide and rule approach which the airlines can employed has been eroded with the consolidation. The fuel supplier, as one organization, is able to determine prices and available of this critical resource for the airlines.

g The financial friction: Group of answer choices is equal to zero when the economy is in its long-run equilibrium.
Complete Question:
The financial friction:
O is equal to zero when the economy is in its long-run equilibrium.
O is negative in Japan.
O lowers the borrowing rate below the nominal federal funds rate.
O is equal to the rate of inflation.
O is lower in uncertain economic situations.
Answer:
The financial friction:
O is equal to zero when the economy is in its long-run equilibrium.
Explanation:
Financial friction is the difficulty that one encounters in financial transactions. It includes the total time, effort, money, and tax effects of the process of gathering information and concluding a transaction such as the buying of a stock or the borrowing of money.
When an economy is in the long-run equilibrium it naturally implies that aggregate demand equals aggregate supply. And at this equilibrium, the long-run marginal cost curve is equal to the long-run average cost curve. There is, therefore, no profit or loss. Financial friction representing the cost of making a transaction equals zero because the suppliers of economic activities will not make any profit or loss.

A year of unusually good rainfall has made it cheaper to irrigate farmlands. However, a popular new diet has persuaded some consumers to stop eating vegetable oil, a product often made from canola. What impact have these two changes had on the equilibrium price and quantity sold of canola?
Answer:
1)Price has decreased and the effect on quantity cannot be determined
Explanation:
As of good rainfall there is a rise in supply of canola that means the shifting o feh supply curve could be right also the demanded for the vegetable oil would decline that means the demand is falling so the demand curve would shift to the left
Therefore, the equilibrium would fall but it is unable to figure out whether the quantity would rise or not without considering the elasticities of the demand and the supply curve
Hence, the correct option is 1

Answer;
Cost of goods manufactured = Cost of finished goods available for sale - Beginning inventory of finished goods.
Cost of goods sold = Cost of finished goods available for sale - Ending finished goods
a. Cost of goods manufactured = Cost of finished goods available for sale - Beginning inventory of finished goods.
331,000 = a - 64,900
a = 331,000 + 64,900
= $395,900
