In a certain economy, when income is $500, consumer spending is $375. The value of the multiplier for this economy is 5. It follows that, when income is $510, consumer spending is:________

a. $166.75
b. $175.00
c. $151.25
d. $170.20

Answers

Answer:

The options are wrong, if consumer spending is $375 when income is $500, it has to be higher if income increases (it cannot be lower).

Consumer spending at $510 = $383

Explanation:

the economy's multiplier = 1 / MPS (marginal propensity to save)

5 = 1 / MPS

MPS = 1 / 5 = 0.2

MPC (marginal propensity to consume) = 1 - MPS = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8

consumer spending at $510 = consumer spending at $500 + [$510 - $500) x 0.8] = $375 + ($10 x 0.8) = $375 + $8 = $383

MPC measures how much consumer spending increases if total disposable income increases.

People are willing to pay more for a diamond than for a bottle of water because a. the marginal benefit of an extra diamond far exceeds the marginal benefit of an extra bottle of water. b. producers of diamonds have a much greater ability to manipulate diamond prices than producers of water have to manipulate water prices. c. the marginal cost of producing an extra diamond far exceeds the marginal cost of producing an extra bottle of water. d. water prices are held artificially low by governments, since water is necessary for life.

Answers

Answer:

the marginal benefit of an extra diamond far exceeds the marginal benefit of an extra bottle of water.

Explanation:

The paradox of value also known as the diamond–water paradox stares that although water is more useful than diamond because it is needed for survival, diamonds are more expensive than water. This is so because the marginal value of a diamond is higher than the marginal value of water.

d. is guaranteed by Article 3, section 3, of the Constitution.

Answers

Answer: b. must be respected if we are to function as complete, self-governing agents.

Explanation:

Privacy enables humans to be able to figure out who they are and what they want in life. By giving a person the right to privacy instead of interfering in their lives you are essentially giving them the power to make their own decisions and trusting them to do well with this right.

By respecting privacy therefore, humans are better able to function as complete and independent agents who can take charge of their own lives without having to worry about interference with the intent to influence.

A bond with a 7-year duration is worth $1,079, and its yield to maturity is 7.9%. If the yield to maturity falls to 7.75%, you would predict that the new value of the bond will be approximately:_____________.

Answers

Answer:

$1,087.27  

Explanation:

The new value of the bond is the new price of the bond calculated using yield to maturity of 7.75% instead of the original yield of 7.9% using excel pv formula provided thus:

=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

Before that we need to determine the pmt which is the annual coupon on the bond.

=pmt(rate,nper,-pv,fv)

rate is the original yield ot 7.9%

nper is the duration of 7 years

pv is the initial market price of $1,079

fv is the face value of $1000

=pmt(7.9%,7,-1079,1000)=$ 94.12  

The new price is computed thus:

=-pv(7.75%,7,94.12,1000)=$1,087.27  

T/F: Risk management, a formalized way of dealing with hazards, is the logical process of weighing the potential costs of risks against the possible benefits of allowing those risks to stand uncontrolled.

Answers

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Remember, risk can be weighted using certain parameters to see whether the potential costs of those risks is lower or higher than the possible benefits of allowing those risks to stand uncontrolled.

What makes this a "logical process of thinking" is the fact that it involves a careful mental evaluation of the risk, by asking the what ifs questions about the risk.

On January 1, 20x1, the ABC Corporation purchased 80% of the XYZ Company's voting stock for $3,000,000. The FMV of all of XYZ's stock was $4,025,000, and XYZ's net assets had a book value of $2,850,000; the fair values of XYZ's assets are equal to their book values, with the exception of land, which is $625,000 greater than its book value. Assuming that ABC Corporation used the acquisition method to prepare its consolidated balance sheet, how much goodwill was reported on the January 1, 20X1 consolidated balance sheet assuming that the "full goodwill" method is used?

Answers

Answer: $440000

Explanation:

Fair market value = $4025000

Book value of asset = $2,850,000

Land value = $625,000

The value of the goodwill will be

(Fair market value - book of asset - land value) × 80%

= ($4,025,000 - $2,850,000 - $625,000) × 80%

= 550000 × 80%

= 550000 × 0.8

= $440,000

The environmental protection agency of a county would like to preserve a piece of land as a wilderness area. The current owner has offered to lease the land to the county for 20 years in return for a lump-sum payment of $1.1 million, which would be paid at the beginning of the 20-year period. The agency has estimated that the land would generate $110,000 per year in benefits to hunters, bird watchers, and hikers. Assume that the lease price represents the social opportunity cost of the land and that the appropriate real discount rate is 4 percent.a. Assuming that the yearly benefits, which are measured in real dollars, accrue at the end of each of the 20 years, calculate the net benefits of leasing the land.b. Some analysts in the agency argue that the annual real benefits are likely to grow at a rate of 2 percent per year due to increasing population and county income. Recalculate the net benefits assuming that they are correct.c. Imagine that the current owner of the land was willing to sell the land for $2 million. Assuming this amount equaled the social opportunity cost of the land, calculate the net benefits if the county were to purchase the land as a permanent wildlife refuge. In making these calculations, first assume a zero annual growth rate in the $110,000 of annual real benefits; then assume that these benefits grow at a rate of 2 percent per year.

Answers

Answer: The answer is given below

Explanation:

Here , we are going to apply the present value of annuty formula.

a. Social Opportunity cost = $1.1 Million

The Yearly cash flows = $110,000

Time (n) = 20 years

The Discount rate (R) = 4%

Net benefits= Present value of cash inflows - the intial socail opportnity cost

Net benefits= Yearly cash flow × (1 - 1/(1+R)^n) / R - 1100000

Net benefits = 110000 × (1 - 1/1.04^20)/0.04 - (1100000)

= $394936

b. We will use the formula for present value of an annuity with the growth rate in benefits as 2 percent.

Firstly, dg= (0.04 - 0.02)/ (1+0.02)

= 0.01961

PV(benefits) = [($110,000)÷ (1+0.02)][1-(1+dg)-20]/dg]

= $1,770,045

NPV = $1,770,045 - $1,100,000= $670,045

Assume that Amazon.com has a stock-option plan for top management. Each stock option represents the right to purchase a share of Amazon $1 par value common stock in the future at a price equal to the fair value of the stock at the date of the grant. Amazon has 5,600 stock options outstanding, which were granted at the beginning of 2017. The following data relate to the option grant.
Exercise price for options $38
Market price at grant date (January 1, 2017) $38
Fair value of options at grant date (January 1, 2017) $6
Service period 5 years
A. Prepare the journal entries for the first year of the stock-option plan. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts.)
B. Prepare the journal entries for the first year of the plan assuming that, rather than options, 700 shares of restricted stock were granted at the beginning of 2017
C. Now assume that the market price of Amazon stock on the grant date was $46 per share. Prepare the journal entries for the first year of the plan assuming that, rather than options, 700 shares of restricted stock were granted at the beginning of 2017.

Answers

Answer:

See the journal entries and explanations below:

Explanation:

A. Prepare the journal entries for the first year of the stock-option plan.

We first calculate the Compensation Expense as follows:

Compensation Expense = (Number stock options outstanding * Fair value of options at grant date) / Service period = (5,600 * $6) / 5 = $6,720.

Note: There is no journal entry for January 1, 2017.

The journal entry for December 31, 2017 is as follows:

Date                  Details                                   Dr ($)           Cr ($)          

31 Dec. 2017    Compensation Expense        6,720

                         Paid-in Capital - Stock Options                6,720

                         To record compensation expenses for 2017.              

B. Prepare the journal entries for the first year of the plan assuming that, rather than options, 700 shares of restricted stock were granted at the beginning of 2017.

We first calculate the following:

Unearned Compensation at January 1, 2017 = Number of option * Exercise price = 700 * $38 = $26,600

Common stock at January 1, 2017 = Stock par value * Number of option = $1 * 700 = $700

Compensation Expense at December 31, 2017 = January 1, 2017 Unearned Compensation / Service period = $26,600 / 5 = $5,320

The journal entries will be as follows:

Date               Details                                     Dr ($)              Cr ($)        

31 Jan. '17    Unearned Compensation       26,600

                    Common stock                                                   700

                    Paid-in Capital in excess of par                   25,900

                   To record unearned compensation on January 2017.    

01 Dec. '17   Compensation Expense            5,320

                    Unearned Compensation                                5,320

                   To record compensation expenses for 2017.                  

C. Now assume that the market price of Amazon stock on the grant date was $46 per share. Prepare the journal entries for the first year of the plan assuming that, rather than options, 700 shares of restricted stock were granted at the beginning of 2017.

We first calculate the following:

Unearned Compensation at January 1, 2017 = Number of option * Exercise price = 700 * $46 = $32,200

Common stock at January 1, 2017 = Stock par value * Number of option = $1 * 700 = $700

Compensation Expense at December 31, 2017 = January 1, 2017 Unearned Compensation / Service period = $32,200 / 5 = $6,440

The journal entries will be as follows:

Date               Details                                     Dr ($)              Cr ($)        

31 Jan. '17    Unearned Compensation       32,200

                    Common stock                                                   700

                    Paid-in Capital in excess of par                    31,500

                   To record unearned compensation on January 2017.    

01 Dec. '17   Compensation Expense            6,440

                    Unearned Compensation                                6,440

                   To record compensation expenses for 2017.

b. decrease in exports in the economy.
c. increase in imports in the economy.
d. leakage in spending in the economy.

Answers

Answer:

d. leakage in spending in the economy.

Explanation:

In the economy firms spend money on labour, input, and business expansion. While in the personal household there is spending on food, rent, and other expenses.

When money is taken out of this cycle and not used for a particular purpose then it is considered to be a leakage.

Leakages include taxes savings and imports.

Savings occurs when an individual has excess income and decides to reserve some for a future use. This fund does not have a particular use in the economy so it is considered to be a leakage.

Sizing and cutting 3,948,000 168,000 machine hours
Stitching and trimming 1,479,725 78,500 labor hours
Wrapping and packing 333,000 30,000 finished units
Compute the activity-based overhead rates using the following budgeted data for each of the activity cost pools.
Activity-based overhead rates
Designing $ per designer hour
Sizing and cutting $ per machine hour
Stitching and trimming $ per labor hour
Wrapping and packing $ per finished unit

Answers

Answer:

Designing =  $32.50 per designer hour

Sizing and cutting =  $23.50 per machine hour

Stitching and trimming =  $18.85 per labor hour

Wrapping and packing = $11.10 per finished unit

Explanation:

The Activity Based Overhead Costing involves calculation of cost driver rate for each activity center.

Cost Driver Rate = Cost of Activity / Number of Times that Activity is Performed

Designing = $455,000 / 14,000

                 = $32.50

Sizing and cutting = $3,948,000 / 168,000

                              = $23.50

Stitching and trimming = $1,479,725 / 78,500

                                      = $18.85

Wrapping and packing = $333,000 / 30,000

                                      = $11.10

Which of the following statements is true? In market equilibrium:

a. There are uncomsummated wealth destroying transactions
b. There are unconsummated value creating transactions
c. None of these
d. There are no unconsummated wealth creating transactins

Answers

Answer: d. There are no unconsummated wealth creating transactions

Explanation:

In an equilibrium, a price has been reached that everyone is satisfied with. This is why there are no unconsummated wealth creating transactions.

The market has managed to bring together people who are want a certain good more than they will pay for it and sellers who value the good less than they will receive for it. The Equilibrium therefore sets a price that is fair on both these people which will mean that they will not be able to unfairly trade with one another. The person who values the good more than they can pay will be able to pay the person who values the goods less than they will receive. Equilibrium has brought them to a middle ground.

Lisa loves her job as an executive recruiter for a large hospital located in Dallas, Texas. Part of Lisa's job requires her to gather industry information, collaborate with partners, compare competitors, and tap into the knowledge of prospective employees, partners, and customers. Which of the below would Lisa use to perform her job?
A. Interactivity metrics
B. Source code
C. Network effect
D. Collective intelligence

Answers

Answer:

D. Collective intelligence.

Explanation:

Collective intelligence is a concept under sociology, it refers to the process whereby groups of individuals or employees act or work collectively in ways that seem intelligent.

This simply means that, when intellectuals interact and sometimes compete with their colleagues, qualitative information are shared among the team and thus, they solve problems collectively as team members.

Hence, collective intelligence accords the team a greater chance to proffer solutions to problems, than they would have done if they were working independently and individually.

Since, Lisa's job requires her to gather industry information, collaborate with partners, compare competitors, and tap into the knowledge of prospective employees, partners, and customers.

Lisa should use collective intelligence to perform her job.

Answer: Disintermediated entitles or newcomers take on new Intermediary roles

Explanation:

Disintermediation refers to, for example, stockbrokers who only execute trade manually being left behind because of the development of online transactions.

Car sales per day, X 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
Number of days 6 8 22 20 15 16 13
A) Give the probability density function of X.
B) Compute the expected value of A". Explain its meaning.
C) Compute the variance and standard deviation of X.
D) Find the expected value and variance of a function Y = 5 + 12X.

Answers

Answer: The answer has been provided and attached.

Explanation:

Based on the attached diagram, there will be 3.3 sales per day.

The variance will be 2.95.

Since standard deviation is the square root of variance, the standard deviation will be:

= ✓2.95

= 1.72

The expected value and variance of a function Y = 5 + 12X will be:

Expected value = 44.6

Variance = 424.8

Christie and Jergens formed a partnership with capital contributions of $250,000 and $350,000, respectively. Their partnership agreement calls for Christie to receive a $55,000 per year salary. Also, each partner is to receive an interest allowance equal to 10% of a partner's beginning capital investments. The remaining income or loss is to be divided equally. If the net income for the current year is $119,000, then Christie and Jergens's respective shares are:

Recall that:

Christie and Jergens created a partnership with capital contributions of = $250,000 and $350,000

The contract terms enables Christie to receive an amount of = $55,000 per salary

An interest allowance is received by both of them equal to =10%

The net income of the Present year = $119,000

Thus,

We find the respective shares of both partners which is stated as follows :

Christie's net income = $59,500

Jergen's net income = $59, 500

The total for both is =$119,000

Masters Corp. issues two bonds with 20-year maturities. Both bonds are callable at $1,050. The first bond is issued at a deep discount with a coupon rate of 4% and a price of $580 to yield 8.4%. The second bond is issued at par value with a coupon rate of 8.75%.
a. What is the yield to maturity of the par bond? Why is it higher than the yield of the discount bond?
b. If you expect rates to fall substantially in the next two years, which bond has the higher expected rate of return?
c. In what sense does the discount bond offer "implicit call protection"?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

a)

The YTM of the bond at par value is equals to its coupon rate, 8.75%. Other things being equal, this 4% coupon rate bond will be more eye-catching as the coupon rate is lower than the current market yields, and its price is far below the call price. So, if yields drop, capital gains on the bond will not be restricted by the call price.

b)

If an investor foresees that yields will fall considerably, the 4% bond proposes a better expected return.

c)

Implicit call protection is offered in the sense that any likely fall in yields would not be nearly enough to make the firm consider calling the bond. In this sense, the call feature is almost irrelevant

Billy owns one share of Disney stock. He purchased the share 3 years ago for $15. Disney stock is currently trading for $30 per share. The stock has paid the following dividends over the past three years: year 1, $1.00; year 2, $2.00; year 3, $3.00. What is the compounded rate of return (IRR) that Billy has earned on his investment

Answers

Answer:

35.8%

Explanation:

purchase price 3 years ago $15, so CF₀ = -15

CF₁ = $1

CF₂ = $2

CF₃ = $3 + $30 = $33

using an excel spreadsheet (or you can also a financial calculator), you must determine the internal rate of return (IRR) = 35.8%

the IRR is the interest rate where NPV = 0, or the future cash flows equal the investment amount
