Answer: Somewhat less than 50%

Explanation:

Here is the complete question;

Suppose that a labor economist performs a statistical analysis on economywide worker wages using standard, measurable explanatory factors, such as job characteristics, years of schooling, and so forth. How much of the variation in worker wages can be accounted for by such measurable explanatory factors?

a. Somewhat less than 50%.

b. Somewhat more than 60%

c. Nearly 100%

d. About 0%?

The variables which are typically removed from the quantitative analysis of wages are those which cannot be directly measured, directly observed or normative in nature.

Chance plays a vital role in deciding ones wage, the type of job one applies for and gets, and the salary that can be gotten. Chance cannot neither be measured nor observed. Natural ability cannot also be quantified, observed or measured. These variables are also subject to normative judgement.

Based on this analysis, the measurable traits will account for less than 50% of total variation in the wages.

Answer:

This enables Fleet to reduce costs of regulatory compliance in relation to the security issue

Explanation:

When a company is exempt under the Securities Act of 1993,this implies that when issuing securities in the market place,the stock exchange ,the company is not required to produce audited financial statements.

Auditing financial statements sometimes cost fortunes especially when it is also required that one of the Big-4 professional firms is to be consulted.

By not requiring audited financials,the costs of audit is saved,hence cost of compliance with exchange rules is reduced overall

Answer:

Debit Insurance Expense 440

Credit Prepaid Insurace 440

Explanation:

Since on January 1, the company purchased a five year insurance policy for $2,200 that means we have to divide the insurance policy amount of $2,200 by the numbers of year which is 5 years .

Hence:

$2,200/5 years

=440

Therefore the adjusting entry at the end of the first year is:

Debit Insurance Expense 440

Credit Prepaid Insurace 440

Can an object accelerate if it's moving with constant speed? Yup! Many people find this counter-intuitive at first because they forget that changes in the direction of motion of an object—even if the object is maintaining a constant speed—still count as acceleration.Acceleration is a change in velocity, either in its magnitude—i.e., speed—or in its direction, or both. In uniform circular motion, the direction of the velocity changes constantly, so there is always an associated acceleration, even though the speed might be constant. You experience this acceleration yourself when you turn a corner in your car—if you hold the wheel steady during a turn and move at constant speed, you are in uniform circular motion. What you notice is a sideways acceleration because you and the car are changing direction. The sharper the curve and the greater your speed, the more noticeable this acceleration will become. In this section we'll examine the direction and magnitude of that acceleration.The figure below shows an object moving in a circular path at constant speed. The direction of the instantaneous velocity is shown at two points along the path. Acceleration is in the direction of the change in velocity, which points directly toward the center of rotation—the center of the circular path. This direction is shown with the vector diagram in the figure. We call the acceleration of an object moving in uniform circular motion—resulting from a net external force—the centripetal acceleration

Answer: $329.75

Explanation:

The one year subscription is $40 per year. It is estimated that the average age of current subscribers is 38 and they will leave on average to 78. This means that they will leave for,

= 78 - 38

= 40 years

Evans Ltd  average interest rate on long-term debt is 12% so this means that we can use that 12% as a discount rate for the cash-flow expected.

I have attached a Present Value Interest Factor of an Annuity table to this question. It helps calculate annuities faster.

The above can be treated as an annuity because the $40 is constant every year.

The present value of the $40 over 40 years can be calculated by,

= $40 * present value Interest Factor of an Annuity for 40 years at 12% (look at the table for where 40 years on the y axis intersects with 12% on the x axis)

= $40 * 8.2438 (this is the figure when it is not rounded off to 3 dp)

= $329.752

= $329.75

This shows that the lifetime flat fee of $480 is more profitable for Evans Ltd as opposed to the yearly subscription. They should therefore try to sell more of the lifetime contract with the flat fee.

Answer:

A. $10,000

B. $0

C. The unused losses may be carried forward to future tax years to reduce passive income in those years.

Explanation:

A. Calculate the amount of Walter's allowable deduction for rental house activities for 2017.

Excess of Walter's modified adjusted gross income before passive losses over $100,000 = $130,00 - $100,000 = $30,000

Allowable deductions = $25,000 - ($30,000 * 50%) = $10,000.

It should be noted that 50 cents, used as 50% above, for each dollar the tax payers modified adjusted gross income exceeds $100,000 is deducted from$25,000 to arrive at allowable deductions. However, there will not be allowable deduction in the case that the modified adjusted gross income is greater $150,000.

B. Calculate the amount of Walter's allowable deduction for the partnership losses for 2017.

Walter is eligible for allowable deduction for the partnership losses for 2017. Therefore, Walter's allowable deduction for the partnership losses for 2017 is $0.

C. What may be done with the unused losses, if anything?

1. The unused losses may be carried forward to future

2. tax years to reduce passive

3. income in those years.

Therefore, this can be joined together as follows:

The unused losses may be carried forward to future tax years to reduce passive income in those years.

Dr bad debt expense                           $ 22,050.00  

Cr allowance for doubtful accounts                          $ 22,050.00  

Explanation:

The estimated balance of uncollectible debts is the accounts receivable of $570,000 multiplied by 4.5% which is the  rate of uncollectible debt given in the question.

Estimated balance of uncollectible debt=$570,000*4.5%=$ 25,650.00  

The adjusting entries required to record bad debts as per the amount computed above is the estimated balance of uncollectible of $ 25,650.00  minus the debit balance of $3,600 already in the unadjusted balance in allowance for doubtful debts.

adjusting amount=$ 25,650.00-$3,600.00=$ 22,050.00

Answer:βB =0.9147=beta of new investment

Explanation:

Total investment= $130,000 + $49,000=  $179,000

Using

Portfolio beta(βp) = wA × βA + wB × βB

Where βp is the portfolio beta coefficient,

wA is the weight of the first investment,

βA is the beta coefficient of first investment;

wB is the weight of the second investment,

βB is the beta coefficient of second investment

but weight of investment is  stock value/ total investment x 100

wA= 130,000/ 179,000X 100=72.63%

WB= 49,000/179,000 X100=27.374%

Portfolio beta(βp) = wA × βA + wB × βB

1.18=(72.63%*1.28)+(27.374% XβB  )  

1.18=0.9296+0.27374βB  

βB i=(1.18-0.9298)/0.27374

βB =0.9147=beta of new investment

Answer:

c. price multiplied by quantity sold

Explanation:

The total revenue is the amount of money that a company earns from selling products and services. As it is the quantity that a business received from its sales, it is calculated by multiplying the price of a product for the number of units sold. According to this, the answer is that the total revenue is defined as price multiplied by quantity sold.

Answer:

Annual deposit= $770.22

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

PV= 5,000

FV= 9,000

i= 0.09

n= 3

First, we need to calculate the final value of the first $5,000. We will use the following formula:

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV= 5,000*1.09^3

FV= 6,475.15

Now, we calculate the annual deposits for the difference:

Investment difference= 9,000 - 6,475.15= 2,524.85

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

Isolating A:

A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}

A= (2,524.85*0.09) / [(1.09^3)-1]

A= $770.22

Answer:

Horses - 0.75 - normal

Clubs- 0.875 - inferior

Diamonds - 1.75 - normal

Diamond is a luxury good

Explanation:

Income elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in income of the consumer.

Income elasticity of demand = percentage change in demand / percentage change in income

Income elascitiy for horses = 12% / 16% =

Income elasticity of demand for spades = 14% / 16% = 0.875

Income elasticity of demand for diamonds 28% / 16% = 1.75

A normal good is a whose demand increases when income increases and falls when income falls.

An inferior good is a good whose demand increases when income falls and whose demand falls when income increases.

Horses and diamonds are normal goods because the demand for the goods increases with income while clubs are inferior goods because the demand for the goods falls when income rises.

A luxury good is a good whose demand rises more than the rise in income. The demands for diamonds increase more than the increase in income, so diamonds are luxury goods.

The journal entry to record the impairment of the loss is shown below:

Loss on impairment Dr $3,670,800  

         To Accumulated depreciation - Equipment $3,670,800

(Being the loss on impairment is recorded)

For recording this we debited the loss on impairment as it increased the losses and credited the accumulated depreciation as it increased the balance of accumulated depreciation

Answer:

Total allocated overhead= $2,081,094

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

For 2017, the company had 11,300 orders and used 51,200 machine hours, and labor hours totaled 491,000

Overhead rates for each activity:

Ordering and receiving= $7.22 per order

Food processing= $7.79 per machine hour

Packaging= $3.26 per labor hour

To allocate overhead, we need to use the following formula:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Ordering and receiving= 7.22*11,300= $81,586

Food processing= 7.79*51,200= $398,848

Packaging= 3.26*491,000= $1,600,660

Total overhead= $2,081,094

Answer: $1,600

Explanation:

The training hours per employee can be calculated by multiplying the Employee Training hours by the cost of training per employee.

From the Attached document, the Baldwin company does 80 hours of training for employees.

The Training costs per Employee is;

= 80 * 20

= $1,600

If the Baldwin Company organizes 80 hours of training for each employer in a given year, and the training cost per hour for an employee is $20, it implies that the training costs per employee would be $1,600 ($20 x 80).

Data and Calculations:

Training costs per employee per hour = $20

Training hours per employee in a year  80 hours

Total training costs per employee in a year = $1,600 ($20 x 80)

Thus, the Baldwin Company spends $1,600 per employee in training them so that employee turnover would be reduced while productivity improves.

Answer:

a. Mean = 35.2 ≈ 35

b. Median = 35.6 ≈ 36

c. Mode = 36.6 ≈ 37

Step-by-step Explanation:

==>Given:

Class of ages in yrs

No. of cases of each class = f

Midpoint of each class = x

Product of midpoint and no. of cases of each class = fx

==>Required:

a. Mean

b. Median

c. Mode

==>SOLUTION:

a. Mean = (Σfx)/Σf

Σf = sum of no. of cases = 5+10+20+22+13+5 = 75

Σfx = 47.5+195+590+869+643.5+297.5 = 2,642.5

Mean = 2,642.5/75 = 35.2 ≈ 35

b. Median = Lm + [((Σf/2) - Cfb)/fm]Cw

Our median is between the 37th and the 38th term, which can be found in the class interval 35-44. This is our median class.

Lm = Lower class boundary of the median class = lower limit of the Medina class + upper limit of the class before the median class ÷ 2 = (35+34)/2 = 34.5

Σf/2 = 75/2 = 37.5

Cfb = Cumulative frequency of class before the median class = 5+10+20 = 35

fm = frequency of the Medina class = 22

Cw = Class width = upper class boundary - lower class boundary = 44.5-34.5 = 10

Median = 34.5 + [(37.5-35)/22] × 10

= 34.5 + [2.5/22] × 10

= 34.5 + [25/22]

= 34.5 + 1.1

= 35.6 ≈ 36

c. Mode = Lm + [∆¹/(∆¹+∆²)]Cw

Modal class = (35-44) [i.e. the class with the highest frequency, which is where our mode falls in]

Lm = lower class boundary of the modal class = lower limit of the modal class + upper limit of the class before the modal class ÷ 2 = (35+34)/2 = 34.5

∆¹ = difference between the frequency of the modal class & the frequency of the class before the modal class = 22 - 20 = 2

∆² = difference between the frequency of the modal class & the frequency of the class after the modal class = 22 - 13 = 9

Cw == Upper class boundary - Lower class boundary = 44.5 - 34.5 = 10

Mode = 34.5 + [2/(2+9)] × 10

= 34.5 + [2/11] × 10

= 34.5 + [20/11]

= 34.5 + 1.8

Mode = 36.6 ≈ 37

Answer: A. 1) Adequate enough

2) Combined together

3) Big in size

4) Absolutely essential

b. 3) “That was unfinished”

Explanation:

A. Redundancies in phrases refer to the repetition of words with the same or similar meanings which gives off the impression of saying the same things twice. All the options listed are therefore redundancies.

By saying something is Adequate which means that it is sufficient for something one does not again need to include enough because it is the same as sufficient as well.

By also saying Combined, one has already inferred that something was brought together. Including together again is redundant because the together is already in the definition of combined.

Big in size is another redundancy because when a person describes something as Big, they are already referring to the size of the thing in question. Adding in size is therefore not needed.

Finally, the Absolutely in the phrase makes the phrase redundant. When something is said to be essential it means that it is absolutely needed or crucial. To say something is Absolutely Essentially is like saying something is an Essential Essential.

B. The Johnson report had already been said to contain incomplete data. To go on to say that the data is Unfinished is a redundancy because by saying that it is incomplete it means that the data is by definition Unfinished. Removing the “That was unfinished” bit fixes the sentence.

Answer: D. $40,175

Explanation:

The balance in the Capital account reported on the Statement of Owner's Equity will include the Capital contributions of Andrea Apple to the business as well as the Net income from operations also known as Retained Earnings.

The Net Income for the month will be revenue less expenses.

Revenue

$5,700 cash and $2,750 on account for services provided in January.

Revenue is therefore,

= 5,700 + 2,750

= $8,450

Expenses

Expenses include the rent paid of $1,500 and the $275 paid for January Utilities.

= 1,500 + 275

= $1,775

Net Income = Revenue - Expenses

Net Income = 8,450 - 1,775

Net Income = $6,675

The Capital that Mr. Apple brought into the business refers to anything he contributed to the business whether in cash or otherwise.

The Capital therefore is,

- The $13,500 cash and the $20,000 worth of equipment.

The Capital Mr. Apple brought into the business is therefore,

= 13,500 + 20,000

= $33,500

The balance on the capital account will therefore be,

= Capital + Net Income

= 33,500 + 6,675

= $40,175

Option D. is correct.

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

Here, when the price of guppy gummies increases by 5%, the quantity of raskels sold decreases by 4% and the quantity of cannes sold increases by 5%.

i.e, % change in price of guppy grummies = 5%

% change in quantity of raskels = -4%

% change in quantity of cannes = 5%

i) Find the Cross price elasticity of demand between guppy grummies and raskels. Use the expression below.

% change in quantity demanded of raskels / % change in price of guppy gummies

= -4% / 5%

= -0.8

Substitute goods have a negative cross price elasticity of demand. Since, the cross price elasticity of demamd here is negative, the goods are substitute.

It is recommended not to advertise raskels with guppy grummies

ii) Find the Cross price elasticity of demand between guppy grummies and cannes. Use the expression below.

% change in quantity demanded of cannes / % change in price of guppy gummies

= 5% / 5%

= 1

Complement goods have a positive cross price elasticity of demand. Since, the cross price elasticity of demamd here is positive, the goods complement each other.

It is recommended to advertise cannes with guppy grummies.

4. Each share of common stock gives the stockholder the ownership rights to vote at stockholder meetings, share in corporate earnings, keep the same percentage ownership when new shares of stock are issued, and share in assets upon liquidation.

A. True B. False

5. The number of issued shares is always greater than or equal to the number of authorized shares.

A. True B. False

6. A journal entry is required for the authorization of capital stock.

8. Publicly held corporations usually issue stock directly to investors. The trading of capital stock on a securities exchange involves the transfer of already issued shares from an existing stockholder to another investor.

A. True B. False

9. The market price of common stock is usually the same as its par value.

A. True B. False

10. Retained earnings is the total amount of cash and other assets paid in to the corporation by stockholders in exchange for capital stock.

A. True B. False

Explanation:

1) Corporation management means that experts can be hired as managers.  On the other hand, the managers may not act in the best interest of the owners, even though, they are legally required to do so.

2) Limited liability of stockholders, government regulations, and additional taxes are the major disadvantages of a corporation.  Limited liability of stockholders may be a disadvantage to non-stockholders, but it is an advantage for stockholders, who will not be required to contribute more money to offset liabilities of the corporation in the event of liquidation.  Since corporations are distinct persons in law, they also need to be regulated and taxed as separate persons.  So, this is not a disadvantage.  It is only a consequence of being separate entity, like all individuals.

3) Organization costs include legal payments, state and federal registration, and incorporation fees, promotions, and charges associated with the underwriting of stocks and bonds. Organization costs can be classified as assets on the company's balance sheet.

4) A share in a company's stock accords some rights on the holder as itemized above.

5) The number of issued shares may be equal to or less than the authorized shares.  Some companies do not issue all the shares that they are authorized to issue at the same time.

6) Authorization of capital stock does not require a journal entry.  A memorandum record of the authorization is instead maintained to show the number of authorized capital shares and the par value.

Answer: Elasticity is 1.05

False

Explanation:

The Price Elasticity of Demand which measures how demand for goods change in relation to a change in price is calculated by the following formula,

Elasticity of demand = % change in Quantity ÷ % change in Prices

The Midpoint method is a method of estimating price percentage change by dividing the change in price by the AVERAGE of the new price and the old price.

The average of the changes are,

= (2.75 + (2.75 - 0.25))/2

= (2.75 + 2.5)/2

= 2.625

The Midpoint method gives a chance in price of,

= (2.75 - 2.65 )/ 2.625

= 9.5%

The Elasticity is therefore,

= Elasticity of demand = % change in Quantity ÷ % change in Prices

= 10% / 9.5%

= 1.05

According to this, the Transit Authority's revenue will not rise when Fair increases because the Elasticity is quite close to 1. An elasticity of 1 means that when fares increase, people using trains decrease by almost the same amount so revenue remains the same.
