Answer:
Seal Polymer Industries (SPI) can sue Med-Express in an Illinois court due to the minimum contacts doctrine. This is an actual court case that the North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in favor of SPI. The minimum contacts rule states that in order for a business to be sued in another jurisdiction it must have maintained minimum contacts with residents of that state. Minimum contacts may include making business with individuals or companies that reside in the other state, visiting the other state or incorporating in the other state. In this case, Med-Express made business with SPI, and SPI is a resident of Illinois.

What is the effect on real GDP of a $150 billion change in planned investment if the MPC is 0.65? $ nothing billion. (Enter your response rounded to the nearest whole number.)Consumption $1,200 2,100 3,000 Disposable Income $3,000 4,000 5,000 Given the consumption schedule in the table above, the marginal propensity to consume is:______a. 0.1b. 0.3c. 0.9d. 0.6
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the effect on real GDP is shown below:
change in GDP is
= Multiplier × change in investment
= 1 ÷ (1 - MPC) × change in investment
= 1 ÷ (1 - 0.65) × $150 billion
= 2 × $150 billion
= $300 billion
And, the marginal propensity to consume is
= Change in spending of consumer ÷ income change
= (2,100 - 1,200) ÷ (4,000 - 3,000)
= 900 ÷ 1,000
= 0.9
The NASDAQ stock market bubble peaked at 5,445 in 2000. Two and a half years later it had fallen to 1,285. What was the percentage decline?
Answer:
76.40%
Explanation:
Calculation for What was the percentage decline
Using this formula
Percentage decline=+Fallen stock market bubble-Peaked stock market bubble)÷Peaked stock market bubble
Let plug in the formula
Percentage decline=(1,285 - 5,445) ÷5,445
Percentage decline=-4,160÷5,445
Percentage decline=-0.7640*100
Percentage decline=-76.40%
Therefore the percentage decline will be -76.40%
A company currently using an inspection process in its material receiving department is trying to install an overall cost reduction program. One possible reduction is the elimination of one inspection position. This position tests items for which the probability of a material defect averages 0.01. By inspecting all items, the inspector is able to remove all defects. The inspector can inspect 50 units per hour. The hourly rate including fringe benefits for this position is $10. If the inspection position is eliminated, defects will go into product assembly and will have to be replaced later at a cost of $11 each when they are detected in final product testing.
Assume that the line will operate at the same rate (i.e., the inspection rate) if the inspection operation was eliminated.
a-1. If the inspector position is eliminated, what will the hourly cost of defects be? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Cost per hour $
a-2. Should this inspection position be eliminated based on costs alone?
Yes
No
b. What is the cost to inspect each unit? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Cost per unit $
c. Is there benefit (or loss) from the current inspection process? How much? (Input all amounts as positive values. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Hourly Per unit
(Click to select)LossBenefit $ $
Answer:
a-1. If the inspector position is eliminated, the defects will not be detected. These cost the company $11 to replace.
Defects per hour = 50 * 0.01 = 0.5 units
Cost per hour = 0.5 * 11 = $5.50
a-2. Based on costs alone, the inspection position should be eliminated. This is because the cost of having the Inspection position is $10 but it would only cost the company $5.50 if the position was not there so the cost of the inspection position is more than the cost incurred if it wasn't there.
b. = Inspection fees/ Units inspected per hour
= 10/50
= $0.50 per unit
c. Cost without Inspection is $5.50. With Inspection is $10.
Hourly Loss = 5.50 - 10
= -$4.50
Per unit loss = -4.50/50
= -$0.09

(B) The real cost is increasing. (C) The real cost is decreasing. (D) The price index must be known to answer this question.
Answer:
(C) The real cost is decreasing.
Explanation:
1 + real rate = (1 + nominal rate)/(1+ inflation)
So, with existence of inflation, real rate cost will be decreasing after each period. After each period, it will be found out by dividing with inflation rate in the way shown above and added multiplicatively.
(Algo) Analyzing Special-Order Decision [LO 7-2, 7-3]
Mohave Corp. makes several varieties of beach umbrellas and accessories. It has been approached by a company called Lost Mine Industries about producing a special order for a custom umbrella called the Ultimate Shade (US). The special-order umbrellas with the Lost Mine Company logo would be distributed to participants at an upcoming convention sponsored by Lost Mine. Lost Mine has offered to buy 2,900 of the US umbrellas at a price of $27 each. Mohave currently has the excess capacity necessary to accept the offer. The following information is related to the production of the US umbrella:
Direct materials $ 12.00
Direct labor 6.00
Variable manufacturing overhead 8.00
Fixed manufacturing overhead 2.50
Total cost $ 28.50
Regular sales price $ 35.00
Required:
1. Compute the incremental profit (or loss) from accepting the special order.
2. Should Mohave accept the special order?
Answer:
Because there is unused capacity, and the effect on income is positive, the offer should be accepted.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Lost Mine has offered to buy 2,900 of the US umbrellas for $27 each.
Production costs:
Direct materials $ 12.00
Direct labor 6.00
Variable manufacturing overhead 8.00
Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will not take into account the fixed costs.
Unitary production cost= $26
Net effect on income= 2,900*(27 - 26)
Net effect on income= $2,900 increase
Because there is unused capacity, and the effect on income is positive, the offer should be accepted.
ABC Corp. received a 3-month, 8% per year, $1, 500 note receivable on December 1. The adjusting entry on December 31 will include a:___________ a) debit to interest Revenue of $10 b) credit to interest Receivable of $20 c) credit to interest Revenue of $30 d) debit to interest Receivable of $10
Answer:
Option D is the correct answer.
d) debit to interest Receivable of $10
Explanation:
Under the accrual basis or principle of accounting, we match the revenue with the expenses and record the transactions in the period to which they relate to rather than when the cash is paid or received. This means that the interest receivable that is accrued for time period relating to this year should be recorded as a revenue in the current period and as an asset under interest receivable as it will be received in the next period.
Thus, the interest on the note relating to 1 month of December will be recorded as follows,
Interest Revenue = 1500 * 0.08 * 1/12 = 10
31 Dec 2021

1. Why does Sutherland argue that businesses need to think about the small stuff rather than the big, splashy things?
2. Why do you think the small stuff makes such a difference for businesses?
3. Think about the business and products that you use or are familiar with. What is one "small stuff" that you could change or improve on one of them to make it more functional or better? Describe the product/service and the change that you would make.
Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers. For that reason, the answers may have inaccuracies in accuracy, but I hope it helped you.
1. Because little things are the basis for big things to happen. The little things are the details, which we often overlook, but which are extremely important for the smooth running of a company. Big, flashy things can be positive factors, but these things need to be composed of details that are small things that bring great results and need to be considered carefully.
2. Because they are unnoticed, but active. When we do not pay attention to them, they act without administration and regulation and can assume very disadvantageous positions, so it is necessary to note and regulate them to act according to the necessary control.
3. My mom runs a handbag store and runs events every season to showcase new trends. The event is a great thing, but it is full of small things (the details) that are of great importance for the success of the event. Among these small things, one that I would like to change is the cooling of the environment. As we live in a hot climate, we need to cool our warehouse during the event. We use fans, but I recognize that this detail should change and that change would bring more customers. That's because the fan messes up the customers' hair, making them uncomfortable. This is a small thing, but very important.

Where do the resources come from to continue to expand the production of watermelons
Explanation:
A production of watermelons or any agrarian resource, needs specific resources to continue expanding production, because unlike an organization that produces durable goods, a company that produces watermelons needs more than machines and equipment, it primarily needs a farm with ideal land for planting and growing watermelons.
The resources also come from government subsidies, workers, equipment, investments, etc.
Squid Roe, Inc.'s $48,000 sushi bar was originally expected to be used for eight years with no residual value. Depreciation on the bar was $6,000 per year for the past two years. In the third year, management changed the estimated life of the bar to be a total of only six years instead of eight. What should Squid Roe do?
Answer:
Squid Roe should change annual depreciation expense to $9,000 per from year 3 through year 6.
Explanation:
The depreciation expense will have to change from year 3 through year 6 as a result of change from eight years to six years as follows:
Asset cost = $48,000
Depreciation expense for first two years = $6,000 * 2 = $12,000
Net book value after 2 years = Asset cost - Depreciation expense for first two years = $48,000 - $12,000 = $36,000
Remaining years after 2 years = 6 - 2 = 4
New annual depreciation expense = Net book value after 2 years / Remaining years after 2 years = $36,000 / 4 = $9,000
Therefore, Squid Roe should change annual depreciation expense to $9,000 per from year 3 through year 6.
Blasto, Inc., operates several mines. At one, a typical batch of ore run through the plant yields three products: lead, copper, and manganese. At the split-off point, the intermediate products cannot be sold without further processing. The lead from a typical batch sells for $50,000 after incurring additional processing costs of $15,350. The copper is sold for $94,000 after additional processing costs of $11,500, and the manganese yield sells for $65,000 but requires additional processing costs of $17,150. The joint costs of processing the raw ore, including the cost of mining, are $155,000 per batch.
Required:
Use the estimated net realizable value method to allocate the joint processing costs. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Lead Copper Manganese
Approximate sales value at split-off
Percent of total sales values at split-off % % %
Cost allocation
Answer:
joint processing costs allocated to lead = $32,550
joint processing costs allocated to copper = $77,500
joint processing costs allocated to manganese = $44,950
Explanation:
lead can be sold at $50,000 but needs further processing worth $15,350, so net realizable value = $50,000 - $15,350 = $34,650
copper can be sold at $94,000 but needs further processing worth $11,500, so net realizable value = $94,000 - $11,500 = $82,500
manganese can be sold at $65,000 but needs further processing worth $17,150, so net realizable value = $65,000 - $17,150 = $47,850
total realizable value = $165,000
total joint processing costs = $155,000
allocation rate of processing cost = $155,000 / $165,000 = $0.939393 per dollar of net realizable value
joint processing costs allocated to lead = $0.939393 x $34,650 = $32,550
joint processing costs allocated to copper = $0.939393 x $82,500 = $77,500
joint processing costs allocated to manganese = $0.939393 x $47,850 = $44,950
Shapland Inc. has fixed operating costs of $500,000 and variable costs of $50 per unit. If it sells the product for $75 per unit, what is the break-even quantity?
Answer: 20000
Explanation:
Fixed Operating cost = $500,000
Variable cost = $50 per unit
Selling price = $75 per unit
Break Even Quantity can be calculated as:
Fixed Cost/Unit contribution margin
= 500,000/(75-50)
= 500,000/25
= 20,000

Answer:
1. A company had net sales of $760,200 and cost of goods sold of $547,400. Its net income was $19,340. The company's gross margin ratio equals:______
c. 28.0%.
2. The monetary unit assumption means that all companies doing business in the United States must express transactions and events in US dollars.
A. True
3. Paid-in capital is the total amount of cash and other assets the corporation receives from its stockholders in exchange for its stock.
A. True
Explanation:
Gross profit margin is calculated by dividing the gross profit by the sales and multiplying by 100. In this case, the gross profit is $212,800 ($760,200 - $547,400). The amount, $212,800, then divided by $760,200 and multiplied by 100 to obtain approximately 28%.
The dollar is the monetary unit for all business transactions conducted in the United States. The accounting assumption behind the monetary unit means that all transactions conducted in the United STates are reported in dollars.
Henri earned a salary of $50,000 in 2001 and $70,000 in 2006. The consumer price index was 177 in 2001 and 265.5 in 2006. Henri's 2006 salary in 2001 dollars is:_______.a. $105,000.00. b. $46,666.67. c. $35,000.00. d. $61,950.00
Answer: $46666.67
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Henri earned a salary of $50,000 in 2001 and $70,000 in 2006 and that the consumer price index was 177 in 2001 and 265.5 in 2006.
For us to calculate Henri's 2006 salary in 2001 dollars, we have to multiply Henri's 2001 real salary by the price in 2001. This will be:
= (70000/265.5) × 177
= $46666.67

A toll on a congested road is in essence a. an interstate highway subsidy. b. a corrective tax. c. a hidden tax. d. a gasoline tax.
Answer:
b. a corrective tax.
Explanation:
Taxation can be defined as the involuntary or compulsory fees levied on individuals or business entities by the government to generate revenues used for funding public institutions and activities.
There are three (3) types of taxation used by the government, these are;
1. Progressive taxation: it involves charging individuals having higher incomes a higher percentage of their total income.
For instance, Citizen X pays 30% on $70,000 and Citizen B pays 10% on $45.000.
2. Proportional taxation: it involves charging both lower and higher income earners equally in proportion to their income.
For instance, Citizen A pays 20% on $50,000 and Citizen B pays 20% on $36,000.
3. Regressive taxation: it involves charging individuals with low incomes a higher percentage of their total income and vice-versa.
For instance, Citizen A pays 15% on $50,000 and Citizen B pays 20% on $36,000.
A corrective tax can be defined as a type of taxation imposed by the government on its citizens to correct negative externalities such as facilities, services or amenities that have socially harmful effects or capable of causing damages to the people.
Hence, a toll on a congested road is in essence a corrective tax.
A toll on a congested road is considered a corrective tax as it aims to correct market inefficiencies by discouraging excessive use and reducing congestion, while also generating revenue for infrastructure maintenance and improvements. Therefore, option a is correct.
A toll on a congested road is considered a corrective tax. It is implemented to correct market inefficiencies by discouraging excessive use of the road and reducing congestion.
By charging a toll, the aim is to internalize the negative externalities associated with congestion and encourage more efficient use of the road network.
Additionally, the revenue generated from the toll can be used for infrastructure maintenance and improvements. Thus, a toll on a congested road serves as a corrective measure to address congestion issues while also generating revenue.

For each of the following situations, identify (1) the case as either (a) a present or a future value and (b) a single amount or an annuity, (2) the table you would use in your computations (but do not solve the problem), and (3) the interest rate and time periods you would use. (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) a. You need to accumulate $10,000 for a trip you wish to take in four years. You are able to earn 8% compounded semiannually on your savings. You plan to make only one deposit and let the money accumulate for four years. How would you determine the amount of the one-time deposit? b. Assume the same facts as in part (a) except that you will make semiannual deposits to your savings account. What is the required amount of each semiannual deposit? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) c-1. You want to retire after working 40 years with savings in excess of $1,000,000. You expect to save $4,000 a year for 40 years and earn an annual rate of interest of 8%. Will you be able to retire with more than $1,000,000 in 40 years?
Answer:
a. The present value of a future value of $10,000 is $7,310.
b. The present value of an annuity for a future value of $10,000 is $1,043.54.
c. Yes, you will retire with $1,036,226.07 .
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Future value = $10,000
Interest - 8% compounded semiannually
Period of investment = 4 years
Using the present value table, the discount factor of 0.731, the future value of $10,000 is $7,310
b) You will need to contribute $1,043.54 at the beginning of each period to reach the future value of $10,000.00.

Explanation:
If an investor has a fixed investment horizon, what type of security can be used to minimize both the price risk and the reinvestment risk?
Answer:
A zero coupon treasury bond
Explanation:
A zero coupon treasury bond having a maturity period matching the investment horizon of an investor can minimize both price risk and reinvestment risk. Reinvestment risk in case of a bond refers to reinvestment of the cash flows from the bond at a return close to current investment rate of return. As a zero coupon treasury bond do not pay any coupon payment, it won't carry any reinvestment risk.
The bond holder in case of a zero coupon treasury bond, receives a guaranteed payment at maturity of the bond. This payment is equal to face value or par value of the bond. Price risk (increase or decrease in a bond value due to interest rates) matters if a bond is sold before maturity.. However, on selling a bond at its maturity, price risk won't matter as the payment will be equal to face or par value.
how long will it take 13,000 to grow to 18,000 if the investment earns at the interest rate of 3% compunded monthly
Answer:
130 months
Explanation:
The computation of the time period is shown below:
Given that
Present value = $13,000
Future value = $18,000
PMT = $0
RATE = 3% ÷ 12 = 0.25%
The formula is shown below:
= NPER(RATE;PMT;-PV;FV;TYPE)
The present value comes in positive
After applying the above formula, the time period is 130 months
Therefore the time that should be needed is 130 months
Some club members want to increase membership dues by $7.00.Other club members want to increase them by $3.00.They have reached an impasse on the issue,so they decide to split the difference and raise the dues by $5.00.What type of conflict style did the group use?
A) Accommodating
B) Collaborating
C) Competing
D) Avoiding
E) Compromising
Answer:
Option E (Compromising) would be the correct choice.
Explanation:
A conflict mediation method of consensus attempts to discover a reason to reasonably pleasing parties and from both sides of the debate. When it becomes more necessary to optimize a compromise than for the conclusion to always be perfect, a deadline is fast approaching, even at such an ongoing crisis, because you need a workable measure only for the moment, such style might be suitable to be using.The other choices aren't relevant to the situation presented. Because otherwise, that is the right answer.
