It accepts all applicants and operates on both tuition and private donations. Although every resident places value on having an educated community, the school's revenues have suffered lately due to a large decline in private donations from the elderly population. Since the benefit that each citizen receives from having an educated community is a public good, which of the following would not be correct?
a. The free-rider problem causes the private market to undersupply education to the community
b. The govemment can potentially help the market reach a socially optimal level of education.
c. A tax increase to pay for education could potentially make the community better off.
d. The private market is the best way to supply education.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
The privately-owned school system in Smalltown generates positive externality to members of SmalltownA good has positive externality if the benefits to third parties not involved in production is greater than the cost. an example of an activity that generates positive externality is research and development. Due to the high cost of R & D, they are usually under-produced. Government can encourage the production of activities that generate positive externality by granting subsidies.
The free rider problem is a form of market failure. It occurs when people benefit from a good or service of communal nature and do not pay to enjoy these services.
The free rider has caused a decline in revenues and did not cause the private market to undersupply education to the community
rt, a $0.73 per share cash dividend was declared by the board of directors for it common stock. On 12/31, the date of declaration, there were 98,000 shares authorized, 59,000 shares issued, and 8,000 Treasury shares. On the date of the dividend declaration, what amount will Walmart record into their dividend account
Answer:
$36,792
Explanation:
Missing word "At Walmart, the board of directors declared a $0.73"
Outstanding stockholder = Issued stockholder - Treasury stock
Outstanding stockholder = 59,000 shares - 8,600 shares
Outstanding stockholder = 50,400 shares
Amount of Dividend = Declared per share cash dividend * Outstanding stockholder
Amount of Dividend = 50,400 shares * $0.73
Amount of Dividend = $36,792
So therefore, on the date of the dividend declaration, $36,792 shall be recorded by Walmart into their dividend account.
Which of the following statements is incorrect? Employment insurance compensation encourages longer job searches, which may lead to a better match between jobs and employees. Employment insurance compensation increases the opportunity cost of being unemployed. The typical employment insurance compensation is roughly one third of one's latest salary for up to 26 weeks. Demand and supply curves for labor are constantly shifting.

Employment insurance compensation increases the opportunity cost of being
unemployed.
Moody Farms just paid a dividend of $3.95 on its stock. The growth rate in dividends is expected to be a constant 5 percent per year indefinitely. Investors require a return of 14 percent for the first three years, a return of 12 percent for the next three years, and a return of 10 percent thereafter. What is the current share price
Answer:
$81.52
Explanation:
The current share price is the present value of future dividends as well as the present value of the terminal value of dividends beyond year 6 as shown thus:
Current dividend=$3.95
Year 1 dividend=$3.95*(1+5%)=$4.15
Year 2 dividend=$4.15*(1+5%)=$4.36
Year 3 dividend=$4.36*(1+5%)=$4.58
The required rate of return(discount rate) for the dividends in the FIRST 3 years above is 14%
Year 4 dividend=$4.58*(1+5%)=$4.81
Year 5 dividend=$4.81*(1+5%)=$5.05
Year 6 dividend=$5.05*(1+5%)=$5.30
The required rate of return(discount rate) for the dividends in the NEXT 3 years above is 12%
Terminal value of dividend=Year 6 dividend*(1+growth rate)/(rate of return-growth rate)
growth rate=5%
rate of return=10%(rate of return thereafter)
terminal value=$5.30*(1+5%)/(10%-5%)
terminal value=$111.30
current share price=$4.15/(1+14%)+$4.36/(1+14%)^2+$4.58/(1+14%)^3+$4.81/(1+12%)^4+$5.05/(1+12%)^5+$5.30/(1+12%)^6+$111.30/(1+10%)^6
current share price=$81.52

Green Thumb Nursery has 32,000 shares outstanding at a market price of $62.15 per share. The earnings per share are $3.15. The firm has total assets of $315,000 and total liabilities of $186,000. Today, the firm announced a share repurchase for $75,000 of its stock. What is the earnings per share after the repurchase?
Answer:
$3.27
Explanation:
Earnings = Earnings per share * Number of stock outstanding
Earnings = $3.15 * 32,000 shares
Earnings = $100,800
Number of shares repurchased = $75,000 / $62.15
Number of shares repurchased = 1206.75784393
Number of shares repurchased = 1,207
Number of stock outstanding = 32,000 - 1,207
Number of stock outstanding = 30,793
Earnings per share after the stock repurchase = Earnings / Number of stock outstanding
Earnings per share after the stock repurchase = $100,800 / 30,793
Earnings per share after the stock repurchase = $3.2734712435
Earnings per share after the stock repurchase = $3.27
Suppose a company wants to structure its assets and liabilities such that its equity is unaffected by interest rate risk. To accomplish that objective, which of the following must the company do?
a. The duration of its liabilities must be longer than the duration of its assets.
b. The duration of its liabilities must equal the duration of its assets.
c. The duration of its liabilities must be shorter than the duration of its assets.
Answer: b. The duration of its liabilities must equal the duration of its assets
Explanation:
Since the company wants to structure its assets and liabilities such that its equity is unaffected by interest rate risk, then the duration of its liabilities must equal the duration of its assets.
It should be noted that when the duration of its liabilities is shorter than the duration of its assets, the duration gap is positive and when there's a rise in interest rate, the worth of assets will be affected more.
When duration of its liabilities is longer than the duration of its assets, the duration gap is negative and when there's a rise in interest rate, the worth of liabilities will be affected more.
Finally, when the duration of its liabilities is equal the duration of its assets, its equity is unaffected by interest rate risk.
The following data were taken from the records of Menendez Company:
Current assets $5,000

Group of answer choices.
A. the supply curve, resulting in a lower equilibrium price.
B. the supply curve, resulting in a higher equilibrium price.
C. the demand curve, as consumers try to economize because of the shortage.
D. the demand curve, resulting in a price ceiling in the market.
Answer:
B. the supply curve, resulting in a higher equilibrium price.
Explanation:
In this scenario, a severe freeze has damaged the Florida orange crop. Thus, the impact on the market for orange juice will be a leftward shift of the supply curve, resulting in a higher equilibrium price.
An equilibrium price can be defined as the price at which the quantity of goods demanded is equal to the quantity of goods supplied.
Additionally, the equilibrium price is generally said to be stable because at this price, the quantity of goods or services demanded is equal to the quantity of goods or services supplied to the consumers.

A bond issued by Vodafone has a coupon rate of 6.15% with semiannual payments, a par value of $1,000,and remaining maturity of exactly 25 years. The bond is currently trading at a price in the market that reflects a yield to maturity for the bond of 3.86%. What is the current value of the bond
Answer:
$1,365.15
Explanation:
Coupon rate = 6.15%
Par Value = 1000
Years = 25
Coupon = 30.75
No of the periods = 50 (25*2)
Semi YTM = 1.93% (3.86%/2)
Price = PV(Semi YTM, No of the periods, -Coupon, -Par Value)
Price = PV(1.93%, 50, -30.75, -1000)
Price = $1,365.15
So, the current value of the bond is $1,365.15.

MSI has been approached by a fourth-grade teacher from Portland about the possibility of creating a specially designed game that would be customized for her classroom and environment. The teacher would like an educational game to correspond to her classroom coverage of the history of the Pacific Northwest, and the state of Oregon in particular. MSI has not sold its products directly to teachers or school systems in the past, but its Marketing Department identified that possibility during a recent meeting.
The teacher has offered to buy 1,000 copies of the CD at a price of $5 each. MSI could easily modify one of its existing educational programs about U.S. history to accommodate the request. The modifications would cost approximately $500. A summary of the information related to production of MSI’s current history program follows:
Direct materials $ 1.50
Direct labor 0.60
Variable manufacturing overhead 2.25
Fixed manufacturing overhead 2.00
Total cost per unit $ 6.35
Sales price per unit $ 12.00
Required:
1. Compute the incremental profit (or loss) from accepting the special order.
2. Should MSI accept the special order?
Yes
No
3. Suppose that the special order had been to purchase 1,000 copies of the program for $4.50 each. Compute the incremental profit (or loss) from accepting the special order under this scenario.
4. Suppose that MSI is operating at full capacity. To accept the special order, it would have to reduce production of the history program. Compute the special order price at which MSI would be indifferent between accepting or rejecting the special order. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
1. The incremental profit from accepting the special order is $150.
2. Yes, MSI should accept the special order. This is because it will increase profit by $150.
3. The incremental loss from accepting the special order is $350.
4. The special order price at which MSI would be indifferent between accepting or rejecting the special order is $12.50 per unit.
Explanation:
Note that only variable costs are relevant to making decision on a special order. That is, fixed cost is not relevant. Therefore, we have:
Total variable cost per unit = Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead = $1.50 + $0.60 + $2.25 = $4.35.
We then proceed as follows:
1. Compute the incremental profit (or loss) from accepting the special order.
Incremental profit (or loss) = ((Special order price per unit - Total variable cost per unit) * Units of special order) - Modification cost = (($5 - $4.35) * 1,000) - $500 = $150
Therefore, the incremental profit from accepting the special order is $150.
2. Should MSI accept the special order?
Yes, MSI should accept the special order. This is because it will increase profit by $150.
3. Suppose that the special order had been to purchase 1,000 copies of the program for $4.50 each. Compute the incremental profit (or loss) from accepting the special order under this scenario.
Incremental profit (or loss) = ((Special order price per unit - Total variable cost per unit) * Units of special order) - Modification cost = (($4.50 - $4.35) * 1,000) - $500 = ($350), or –$350
Therefore, the incremental loss from accepting the special order is $350.
4. Suppose that MSI is operating at full capacity. To accept the special order, it would have to reduce production of the history program. Compute the special order price at which MSI would be indifferent between accepting or rejecting the special order. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
This can be calculated as follows:
Modification cost per unit = Modification cost / Units of special order = $500 / 1,000 = $0.50
Special order price = Regular price + Modification cost per unit = $12 + $0.50 = $12.50 per unit
Therefore, the special order price at which MSI would be indifferent between accepting or rejecting the special order is $12.50 per unit.

You are an executive with an internet merchandizing company. Azzamon Inc. You have been assigned the task of analyzing whether to add a new warehouse in Atlanta or in Boston. A consulting firm whom you paid $100 K to do a study has narrowed the choice down to these two cities. You currently have two other warehouses in other cities. You must decide whether the following is relevant or irrelevant to the decision of where to locate the warehouse? Consultant Fee: Relevant Irrelevant
Answer:
Azzamon Inc.
Consultant Fee:
Irrelevant.
Explanation:
The consultant fee is not relevant to the decision of where to locate the warehouse. It is like a sunk cost that has already been incurred. The two cities recommended by the consultant will be considered based on their relevant statistics and data and not based on the fee paid to the consultant. A relevant cost impacts the decision at hand. One relevant cost for making a decision of this nature is the cost of installing facilities at the locations.

In June 201X, a six-month call on XYZ stock, with an exercise price of $22.50, sold for $12.30. The stock price was $27.27. The risk-free interest rate was 3.9 percent. How much would you be willing to pay for a put on XYZ stock with the same maturity and exercise price
Answer:
Price of Put = $ 7.1037
Explanation:
Put-Call Parity:
Price of Call + Exercise Price / (1 + Risk-free rate)^T = Price of Put + Stock Price
Price of Call = $12.30
Exercise Price = $22.50
Stock Price = $27.27
Risk-free rate = 3.9%
Time period = 6 months or 0.5 year
Now insert the values:
Price of Call + Exercise Price / (1 + Risk-free rate)^T = Price of Put + Stock price
12.30 + 22.50 / (1 + 3.9%)^0.5 = Price of Put + 27.27
12.30 + 22.50 / 1.019313 - 27.27 = Price of Put
Price of Put = 12.30 + 22.0737 - 27.27
Price of Put = $ 7.1037

The benefits of portfolio diversification are highest when the individual securities have returns that Group of answer choices Are counter-cyclical Vary indirectly with the rest of the portfolio Are uncorrelated with the rest of the portfolio Vary directly with the rest of the portfolio
Answer:
Are uncorrelated with the rest of the portfolio
Explanation:
Portfolio diversification is the process of holding different asset and security classes in order to minimise the non systemic risk of the portfolio
Non systemic risk are risks that can be diversified away. they are also called company specific risk. Examples of this type of risk is a manager engaging in fraudulent activities.
The highest benefit of diversification is when the securities are uncorrelated
Correlation is a statistical measure used to measure the relationship that exists between two variables.
1. Positive correlation : it mean that the two variables move in the same direction. If one variable increases, the other variable also increases.
For example, there should be a positive correlation between quantity supplied and price
When there is a positive correlation, the graph of the variables is upward sloping
2. Negative correlation : it mean that the two variables move in different direction. If one variable increases, the other variable decreases.
For example, there should be a negative correlation between quantity demanded and price
When there is a negative correlation, the graph of the variables is downward sloping
3. Zero correlation : there is no relationship between the variables
As an economy recovers from a recession, the observed level of labor productivity tends to decline. Why?
A. The marginal product of labor declines as new workers enter the expanding work force.
B. The total product increases during the recovery, but the number of workers declines.
C. The marginal product of labor increases at a slower rate than the decline in employment.
D. The total product remains the same during the recovery, but the number of workers declines.
Answer:
Answer is C. The marginal product of labor increases at a slower rate than the decline in employment.
Explanation:
As an economy recovers from a recession, the observed level of labor productivity tends to decline, Why? Because the marginal product of labor increases at a slower rate than the decline in employment.
As an economy recovers from a recession, the observed level of labor productivity tends to decline because the marginal product of labor increases at a slower rate than the decline in employment. Thus option(C) is correct.

Answer:
needs to be more spefic
Explanation:
For each of the regions, use the midpoint method to identify whether the supply of this good is elastic or inelastic. Region Elastic Inelastic Between W and X Between Y and Z True or False: For high levels of quantity supplied where firms have reached near maximum capacity, supply becomes less elastic because firms may need to invest in additional capital in order to increase production further.
Answer:
a-1. Elasticity of supply between W and X is elastic.
a-1. elasticity of supply between Y and Z is inelastic.
b. The statement is true.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question.
The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:
a. For each of the regions, use the midpoint method to identify whether the supply of this good is elastic or inelastic.
The midpoint formula is as follows:
Elasticity of supply = ((Q2 - Q1)/ (Q2 + Q1) /2) / ((P2 - P1) / (P1 + P2) /2) ……… (1)
Using equation (1), we have:
a-1. Between W and X
Q2 = 25
Q1 = 10
P2 = 20
P1 = 15
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Elasticity of supply between W and X = ((25 - 10)/ (25 + 10) /2) / ((20 - 15) / (15 + 20) /2) = 3
Since 3 which is the calculated elasticity of supply between W and X is greater than 1, this implies that elasticity of supply between W and X is elastic.
a-2. Between Y and Z
Q2 = 90
Q1 = 80
P2 = 180
P1 = 90
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Elasticity of supply between Y and Z = ((90 - 80)/ (90 + 80) /2) / ((180 - 90) / (180 + 90) /2) = 0.18
Since 0.18 which is the calculated elasticity of supply between Y and Z is less than 1, this implies that elasticity of supply between Y and Z is inelastic.
b. True or False: For high levels of quantity supplied where firms have reached near maximum capacity, supply becomes less elastic because firms may need to invest in additional capital in order to increase production further.
This statement is true.
This is because, from part a above, it can be observed that elasticity of supply between W and X when quantity is low is elastic but the elasticity of supply between Y and Z when the quantity is high is inelastic. Therefore, it is true that for high levels of quantity supplied where firms have reached near maximum capacity, supply becomes less elastic because firms may need to invest in additional capital in order to increase production further.
If you encounter a process that has limited flexibility, shorter lead times, and cheaper products, customization most likely is occuring:
Answer: late in the supply chain
Explanation:
Assemble to order refers to a strategy whereby the products ordered by customers are manufactured quickly while they are customizable to an extent
Even though the basic parts of the product are manufactured already, they're not yet assembled until an order comes in.
If a process that has limited flexibility, shorter lead times, and cheaper products, customization most likely is occuring late in the supply chain.
In a situation where a process with limited flexibility, shorter lead times, and cheaper products, customization of the product or service will most likely occur D. Late in the Supply Chain
Given the process's limited flexibility and shorter lead times, customization, which is a process that tailors a product or service to meet specific customer's or market's demands, cannot occur early, at every step of the Supply Chain, or before procurement of raw materials.
Thus, customization occurs later in the Supply Chain when the goods are about to be delivered to the customer because delivery and satisfying customers or the market are the ultimate goals of any Supply Chain management.

Robot uses competitive analysis processs to collect data on what their competitors are doing. Which of the following is not a test does the company puts each competitor's robot through?
A. Drop.
B. Lab.
C. Edge.
D. Straight line.
E. Box.
Answer:
Drop
Explanation:
Competitive Analysis
This is commonly refered to as a form of research review and final evaluation of one's competitors. It is beneficial due to the fact that the information you obtained/known can help you to be based on your competitor weaknesses
When starting this analysis, always you set up expectations that can be achieved so that one's team has enough time to fully research, analyze, and share their findings.
Competitive analysis, as a part of your business planning, is a means by which an individual believes that their business will survive and thrive competitively in the market because the individual has full attachment to current competitors and one's potential competition too. Putting the robot through a drop test is not correct as it may destroy it.
To what extent are moral ideas reflect society around us, and to what extent are we free to think for ourselves about moral matters?
Answer:
Moral ideas reflect society through collective behaviors that are presented by a large part of the population. These behaviors determine how far we are free to think about moral issues, as there is a social pressure that we associate our thoughts within this collective behavior.
Explanation:
Moral ideas determine what is right and wrong within society. This makes the population organize to act and behave in accordance with these oral ideas, collectively, always encouraging what is considered correct, good and progressive. This type of concept limits the freedom of individuals to think for themselves and reach their own conclusions about moral issues and social behavior, because there is pressure for the moral ideas accepted by most members of the population to be accepted without debate. For this reason, issues such as homosexuality, abortion, euthanasia, among others, are sources of criticism for a social minority, which decides to take a stand on these issues in a way contrary to the positing revealed as a moral idea by the majority of society.
