In Appellia, it takes 10 units of resources to increase its output of sugar from 12 tons to 13 tons, but 11 units of resources to increase output from 13 tons to 14 tons, and 12 units of resources to increase output from 14 tons and 15 tons, and so on. The need for increasing resources is an example of:________.
a. comparative advantage.
b. diminishing returns to specialization.
c. absolute advantage.
d. mercantilism Porter's diamond model.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

b. diminishing returns to specialization.

Explanation:

Diminishing returns is also called diminishing productivity. It states that as additional unit of input is used in production it will get to a stage where more of input will be required to maintain output levels.

If the same level of input is used it will result in reduction in output over time.

This is exemplified in this secanrio where it takes 10 units of resources to increase its output of sugar from 12 tons to 13 tons, but 11 units of resources to increase output from 13 tons to 14 tons, and 12 units of resources to increase output from 14 tons and 15 tons.

It takes more input to increase output by 1 ton

Trudy is Jocelyn's friend. Trudy looks after Jocelyn's four-year-old son during the day so Jocelyn can go to work. During the year, Jocelyn paid Trudy $4,180 to care for her son. What is the amount of Jocelyn's child and dependent care credit if her AGI for the year was $31,800

Answers

Answer:

The answer is $810

Explanation:

Solution

Child and dependent care credit is certain percentage of qualifying care expenses based on the adjusted gross income. The maximum qualifying amount of daycare expenses is $3,000 per qualifying person.

Now from this example, Jocelyn had paid $4,180 to take care of her son and so,the qualifying amount of care expenses will be $3,000.

Since GI for the year is $31,800, the child and dependent care credit will be 27% of the qualifying care expenses that is,. $3,000 * 27% = $810

A year ago, Kim Altman purchased 200 shares of BLK, Inc. for $25.50 on margin. At that time the margin requirement was 40 percent. If the interest rate on borrowed funds was 9 percent and she sold the stock for $34, what is the percentage return on the funds she invested in the stock

Answers

Answer:

69.83%

Explanation:

Calculation for Kim Altman percentage return on the funds she invested in the stock

Calculation for Kim’s own money =

$5100 x .4 = $2040

Caluculation for total Long Position =

$34 x 200 = $6800

Calculation for Interest Borrowed =

$3060 x .09 = $275.4

Total gain/profit =

$6800 - $5100 - $275.4

= $1424.60

Percentage on Return

= $1424.60 / $2040 = .6983

.6893x 100 = 69.83%

Therefore the percentage return will be 69.83%

Answers

Answer:

The cost of 216 million barrels of oil shipped is $ 12,960 million

Cost of ending work in process is $1,008 million

Explanation:

The total costs of oil production is computed thus:

                                                       $million

materials                                        6,000

conversion cost                             7,968

total cost                                       13,968

Production started                  244 million

Oil shipped                             216 million

ending work in process         28 million

total equivalent units=216 million+28 million*60%=216 million+16.8 million=232.8  million

Jasper and Crewella Dahvill were married in year 0. They filed joint tax returns in years 1 and 2. In year 3, their relationship was strained and Jasper insisted on filing a separate tax return. In year 4, the couple divorced. Both Jasper and Crewella filed single tax returns in year 4. In year 5, the IRS audited the couple’s joint year 2 tax return and each spouse’s separate year 3 tax returns. The IRS determined that the year 2 joint return and Crewella’s separate year 3 tax return understated Crewella’s self-employment income, causing the joint return year 2 tax liability to be understated by $12,700 and Crewella’s year 3 separate return tax liability to be understated by $7,350. The IRS also assessed penalties and interest on both of these tax returns. Try as it might, the IRS has not been able to locate Crewella, but they have been able to find Jasper. (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required.)

b. What amount of tax can the IRS require Jasper to pay for Crewella’s year 3 separate tax return?
Amount of Tax:__________________

Answers

Answer: a. $12,700

b. $0

Explanation:

a. As Jasper and Crewella Dahvill filed joint tax returns in Year 2, both of them are joint and severally liable for any errors that may arise in the filing. The IRS could not find Crewella but they could find Jasper and as he is liable as well, he will have to pay the full amount that Crewella understated their tax liability by.

b. In year 3, Jasper and Crewella Dahvill had a strained relationship and filed their returns separately. As a result Jasper is not liable for any errors that will arise from Crewella's tax returns filing including the understatement of tax liability.

Gretchen has just started as a fashion marketing intern for an up-and-coming design firm. When she came in, she was asked to work on a project identifying important events where celebrities might wear the fashions. She soon realized that this activity was part of _____________, directly related to marketing.

Answers

Answer:

A push-pull strategy

Explanation:

The Push strategy is an aspect of marketing where the marketer aims at taking his products directly to a target audience. This is done so as to stimulate the interest of the consumer in that particular product. Developing brands tend to employ this strategy to showcase themselves to the consumer in hopes of getting them attracted to their products. This is the strategy which the up-and-coming design firm is trying to employ when they seek to identify important events where celebrities might wear the fashions. They engage in this activity because they want to showcase their designs to the target audience- the celebrities.

Pull strategy is the opposite of this strategy as customers are now aware of the reputation of the brand and then seek them out on their own.

The owner of a small firm has just purchased a personal computer, which she expects will serve her for the next two years. The owner has been told that she "must" buy a surge suppressor to provide protection for her new hardware against possible surges or variations in the electrical current, which have the capacity to damage the computer. The amount of damage to the computer depends on the strength of the surge. It has been estimated that there is a 3% chance of incurring 350 dollar damage, 5% chance of incurring 250 dollar damage, and 12% chance of incurring 100 dollar damage from a surge within the next two years. An inexpensive suppressor, which would provide protection for only one surge, can be purchased. How much should the owner be willing to pay if she makes decisions on the basis of expected value

Answers

Answer:

$35

Explanation:

The computation of the expected value is shown below;

As we know that  

= Estimated chance of damage percentage × dollar damage + Estimated chance of damage percentage × dollar damage + Estimated chance of damage percentage × dollar damage

= 3% × $350 + 5% × $250 + 12% × $100

= $10.5 + $12.5 + $12

= $35

We simply multiplied the estimated chance of damage percentage with the dollar damage and then added the other two so that the expected value could arrive

Only the demand curve shifts. c. ​Shift to the left, causing the prices of carrots to fall d. ​Stay the sam

Answers

Answer: a. ​Shift to the left, causing the prices of carrots to rise

Explanation:

The bad weather destroyed the annual crop of carrots. This will reduce the supply for Carrots. A reduction in supply forces the Supply Curve to shift to the left and assuming the demand curve remains the same, the new supply curve will intersect the demand curve a higher equilibrium price.

This is done to obey the Rules of Supply that when a good is scarce, it is more expensive.

Notice how the supply curve shifted left in the diagram and prices rose.

A company purchased 10 units for $5 on January 3. It purchased 10 units for $7 each on February 28. It sold 10 units on March 1. If the company uses the last in, first out (LIFO) inventory costing method, what is the dollar amount for ending inventory on the December 31 balance sheet, assuming that the company uses a perpetual inventory system

Answers

Answer:

The dollar amount for ending inventory using the last-in-first-out method of inventory valuation is $50

Explanation:

Using LIFO,last-in-first-out  method of inventory valuation,items received last into the store are deemed to be sold first, hence the sales of 10 units on March 1 was the inventory purchased on February 28, leaving the items of inventory purchased on January 3 as closing inventory

value of closing inventory using LIFO=10*$5=$50

To a greater or lesser degree, many governments can be considered pragmatic nationalists when it comes to foreign direct investment (FDI); this means it has both benefits and costs. FDI can benefit a host country by bringing capital, technology, and jobs, and it can also have a negative effect on a country's balance of payments. Accordingly, government policies are shaped by a consideration of these costs and benefits of FDI.
Home countries can adopt policies designed to both encourage and restrict FDI. Host countries try to attract FDI by offering incentives and try to restrict FDI by dictating ownership restraints and requiring that foreign multinational enterprises (MNE) meet specific performance requirements.

The products that the companies founded by FDI are producing could have been products that the Host Country used to import. Now that the goods are being made in the Host Country, there will be no need for imports.

e-increase in direct and indirect employment

The companies founded by FDI in the Host Countries will create employment for people in the company which is direct employment. Many auxiliary services such as drivers and caterers as an example will also spring up to take care of these newly employed folk thereby creating indirect employment.

i-transfer of new technology

The Company formed from FDI will bring with them technology from the Home Country that could be very beneficial to the Host Country.

Host Country Costs.

- Outflow of earnings from a foreign subsidiary

The Companies established through FDI will send some of their profits back to their home Countries. This means that the earnings would leave the Host Country instead of being reinvested in them.

d-loss of economic independence

These FDI companies tend to get very influential and powerful in the Host Country and can sometimes dictate policies. This would mean the companies have significant control over the resources of the Host Country which will lead to a loss of Economic independence. This is the main reason most people believe that China is interested in Africa.

g-loss of local Entrepreneurship

These companies created by FDI will bring with them better technology and capital that will enable them to be very competitive in the local Economy. This will discourage local Entrepreneurs who do not have the economic nor the financial backing to challenge the companies without making huge losses.

Hastings Corporation is interested in acquiring Vandell Corporation. Vandell has 1 million shares outstanding and a target capital structure consisting of 30% debt; its beta is 1.10 (given its target capital structure). Vandell has $8.67 million in debt that trades at par and pays an 7.3% interest rate. Vandell’s free cash flow (FCF0) is $1 million per year and is expected to grow at a constant rate of 6% a year. Both Vandell and Hastings pay a 40% combined federal and state tax rate. The risk-free rate of interest is 6% and the market risk premium is 7%. Hastings Corporation estimates that if it acquires Vandell Corporation, synergies will cause Vandell’s free cash flows to be $2.5 million, $3.2 million, $3.5 million, and $3.57 million at Years 1 through 4, respectively, after which the free cash flows will grow at a constant 6% rate. Hastings plans to assume Vandell’s $8.67 million in debt (which has an 7.3% interest rate) and raise additional debt financing at the time of the acquisition. Hastings estimates that interest payments will be $1.5 million each year for Years 1, 2, and 3. After Year 3, a target capital structure of 30% debt will be maintained. Interest at Year 4 will be $1.465 million, after which the interest and the tax shield will grow at 6%. Indicate the range of possible prices that Hastings could bid for each share of Vandell common stock in an acquisition. Round your answers to the nearest cent. Do not round intermediate calculations.
The bid for each share should range between $ ______ per share and $ _______ per share.

Answers

Answer:

$40.79 per share and $52.90 per share

Explanation:

Cost of Debt (Kd) = Wd * Rd (1 - T)

Cost of Debt for Vandell Corporation is $7.30 * (1 - 0.40) = 4.38%

Cost of Equity (Ke) = Rf + [tex]\beta[/tex] * Rp

Cost of Equity for Vandell Corporation is 6 + 1.10 * 7 = 13.70%

Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) = Wd * Kd + We * Ke

Cash Flow of Firm = $2.5m + $3.2m + $3.5m + $3.57m = $12.77

Weight of Equity = $8.94

WACC = 30% * 4.38% + 70% * 13.70% = 10.9%

CashFlows after discounting synergy will be = $40.79

suppose dave's discount merchandise inventory account showed a balance of 8000 before the year end adjustments. The physical count of goods on hand totaled 7400. Dave uses a perpetual inventory system. To adjust the accounts, which entry would the company make

Answers

Answer:

Cost of goods sold DR 600

Merchandise inventory CR 600

Explanation:

A perpetual inventory system is a method of inventory management that is used in order to records real-time transactions of received or sold stock. In this system, based on the information provided the company would make the following entry

Cost of goods sold DR 600

Merchandise inventory CR 600

This is because there is a difference on physical goods on hand of 600, meaning that they sold that amount throughout the year. Which is made as a Cost of Goods Sold entry. The company also needs to enter the amount of goods that have been acquired by a distributor, wholesaler, or retailer from suppliers which would be the same.

During the year, Lillie rented her vacation home for three months and spend one month there. Gross rental income from the property was $5,000. Lillie incurred the following expenses: mortgage interest, $3,000; real estate taxes $1,500; utilities, $800; and depreciation, $4,000. Compute Lillie's allowable deductions for the vacation home.

Answers

Answer:

$8,100

Explanation:

The home was rented for more than 14 days, you must pay taxes for the rental income

Since Lille used the house for more than 15 days herself, limits her deduction. The home cannot be treated as rental home nor personal use vacation home.

total days used = (30 x 3) + 30 = 120 days

rental days = 90/120 = 75% (this doesn't apply to mortgage interest nor real estate taxes, they are still 100% deductible)

mortgage interest and real estate taxes still qualify as personal expenses = $3,000 + $1,500 = $4,500

utilities and depreciation will be deducted only 75% = ($800 + $4,000) x 75% = $3,600

total deductions = $4,500 + $3,600 = $8,100

Answers

Answer:

$84,360.00  

Explanation:

The cash balance at the end of the year is simply total cash receipts minus total cash payments which is further analyzed below:

Cash receipt from sales=total sales-accounts receivable=$250,000-$18,900=$ 231,100.00  

Cash paid for merchandise purchase=purchases-accounts payable=$96,000-$27,000=$69,000

Salaries paid     $12,700

Cash from  owners is $14,000

cash from borrowing is $14,000

interest paid is $3800

insurance paid is $7,800

Tax paid=(sales-purchases-salaries paid-insurance cost(one year)-interest paid)*tax rate

insurance for one year=$7800*1/2=$3,900

tax paid=($250,000-$96,000-$12,700-$3,800-$3,900)*40%=$53440

Cash balance=$231,100-$69,000-$12,700+$14,000-$14,000-$3800-$7800-$53440=$84,360.00
