1. Sharon, a newly engaged woman, saw an advertisement in a bridal magazine for a beautiful pearl necklace priced at $69.99 from Precious Jewelry. She thought the necklace would be a wonderful present for her bridesmaids, so she ordered 5 necklaces from Precious Jewelry. After a few weeks, Sharon received a letter, along with her returned check from Precious Jewelry. The letter stated that the jeweler was sorry they could not fill her order because they had been overwhelmed with so many requests that their supply of necklaces ran out very quickly.
a. List the 3 elements of an offer and describe each (in your own words).
b. Did Precious Jewelry make an offer when they placed the ad in the magazine? Did Sharon make an offer when she placed the order? Why or why not?
c. What will be the likely outcome if Sharon sues Precious Jewelry to force them to fill her order? Explain your answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. The three elements which make an offer valid are communication, commitment, and definite terms.  The communication of an offer happens between the offeror and the offeree and not with the general public, as depicted by the ad.  Commitment in an offer requires that Sharon and Precious Jewelry are identified as the involved parties and are committed to enter a valid contract.  Definite terms require no ambiguity.

b. Precious Jewelry did not make an offer when it placed the ad in the magazine.  The ad was an invitation to treat.  Sharon initiated the offer when she ordered for the jewelries.  At this point, Precious Jewelry could accept or reject the offer, depending on its capacity.

c. If Sharon sues Precious Jewelry to force it to fill her order, she does not have the good standing required to enforce specific performance of a contract because there is no basis for the existence of a contract between her and Precious Jewelry.  Moreover, Sharon’s offer was never accepted by Precious Jewelry and there was no consideration.

Explanation:

A valid contract will exist between Sharon and Precious Jewelry when the five elements of a contract are present.  These include valid offer, acceptance, mutual consent (or assent), consideration, and legality (including the capacity of the contracting parties).

b. GDP decreases by $25
c. GDP increases by $25
d. GDP does not change since the family is not from the U.S.

Answers

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year

GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export

Consumption spending includes spending by households on goods and services. Consumption spending includes :  

spending on durables - e.g. buying a laptop  

spending on nondurables - e.g. buying clothes, food

spending on services  - e.g. payment of hospital bill  

the purchase of a textbook by a student is an example of consumption spending on durable goods

Investment - It includes purchases of goods and services made by businesses in the production of goods and services

Government spending - It includes government consumption expenditure and gross investment.  The purchase of a new  limousine for the president is an example of consumption expenditure

Net export = export  - import

the purchase of hotdog constitutes consumption of non durable goods and this would increase US GDP by $25

Managers lead in a wide variety of situations and organizations and have various kinds of subordinates performing diverse tasks in a multiplicity of environmental contexts. Given the wide variety of situations in which leadership occurs, what makes a manager an effective leader in one situation (such as certain traits or behaviors) is not necessarily what that manager needs to be equally effective in a different situation. Contingency models of leadership take into account the situation or context within which leadership occurs. According to contingency models, whether or not a manager is an effective leader is the result of the interplay between what the manager is like, what he or she does, and the situation in which leadership takes place.

What is the effective annual interest rate of an investment that pays 14.75% per year with a compound frequency n= 2? (Answer percentage rounded to second decimal place).

Answers

Answer:

15.29%

Explanation:

r = Interest rate = 14.75%

m = Number of times compounding in a year = 2

Effective Annual Rate = (1 + r/m)^m - 1

Effective Annual Rate = (1 + 0.1475/2)^2 - 1

Effective Annual Rate = 1.07375^2 - 1

Effective Annual Rate = 1.1529390625 - 1

Effective Annual Rate = 0.1529391

Effective Annual Rate = 15.29%

So, the effective annual interest rate of the investment is 15.29%

(a) What is the working capital? ____________
(b) What is the current ratio? _____________

Answers

Answer:

Working capital = (Cash + Accounts receivable + Inventory + Other current assets) - Total current liabilities

Working capital = ($7.2 + $14.4 + $18.0 + $11.1) - $24.8

Working capital = $50.7 - $24.8

Working capital = $25.9

b. Current ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

Current ratio = $50.7 / $24.8

Current ratio = 2.04 : 1

Tarnopol Learning Services​ (TLS) offers tutoring to high school​ students, college​ students, and adults returning to school.​ TLS's major product offerings include academic​ tutoring, standardized test​ preparation, and admissions consulting. Demand for standardized test​ preparation, which accounts for the majority of​ TLS's revenues, peaks before the most popular test dates. Demand for admissions consulting peaks late in the​ year, just before application deadlines. Demand for tutoring services varies less than demand for other TLS​ services, but it is highest near the end of academic semesters. Staff shortages during these times have been a persistent problem. In​ response, TLS is considering whether to​ 1) recruit and train a greater number of temporary workers during peak demand​ times; or​ 2) partner with a tutoring and testing outsourcing firm that would provide services to TLS customers using the TLS brand.

Answers

Answer:

Oligopoly

Explanation:

An oligopoly can be defined as a market structure comprising of a small number of firms (sellers) offering identical or similar products, wherein none can limit the significant influence of others.

Hence, it is a market structure that is distinguished by several characteristics, one of which is either similar or identical products and dominance by few firms.

The characteristics of an oligopolistic market structure are;

I. Mutual interdependence between the firms.

II. It's a market that is typically controlled by many small firms.

III. Difficult entry to new firms.

In this scenario, four major breakfast cereal companies share a majority of the cereal market (identical or similar products) such as Kellogg, Post, General Mills, and Quaker. Thus, this is an example of an oligopoly.

The CEO of Kwikee Shoppe, a chain of convenience stores, believes that some of his managers aren’t making decisions as effectively as they could. He has hired you as a consultant to analyze the types of bias that could be causing poor decisions. If you can identify the biases that may cloud their judgment, then they can be made aware of these tendencies so they can improve their performance. You gather data about Kwikee Shoppe managers’ most recent decisions.
Stella is in charge of the western region, and she has a strong track record of opening new stores that perform well and closing stores that could not contribute satisfactorily to the bottom line. Lately, however, many of her new stores have had below average performance, and she has closed some stores that probably could have been turned around by putting a different store manager in charge, advertising more, or offering more specials on popular products. Nonetheless, Stella knows that she is great at her job. Which of the following would not be a way for Stella overcome this bias?
A. Consult with other regional managers for their opinion before closing stores.
B. Before closing a store, replace the manager with one from a successful store and revisit the decision in 90 days.
C. Create a checklist of items to ask before closing stores, providing weights to each item based on their importance.
D. Focus on the stores that she closed that would not have improved with a different manager in place, additional advertising, or sales.

Answer:

Kwikee Shoppe

The way that Stella would overcome this bias is:

D. Focus on the stores that she closed that would not have improved with a different manager in place, additional advertising, or sales.

Explanation:

The other listed actions would enable Stella to overcome her personal bias, which may be clouding her sense of judgment.  The focus on the stores that she had closed would only puff her ego instead of reducing bias.  To focus on the past when Stella is proud of her achievements cannot allow her to objectively review the situation in order to improve on her decisions and performance.

Two years ago, Kuley invested $20,900. She has earned and will earn compound interest of 7.8 percent per year. In 3 years from today, Nabax can make an investment and earn simple interest of 5.3 percent per year. If Nabax wants to have as much in 7 years from today as Kuley will have in 7 years from today, then how much should Nabax invest in 3 years from today

Answers

Answer:

$73306.46

Explanation:

Compound interest = Principal(1+rate/n)^nt

If Kuley invested $20900 and compound interest rate of 7.8% per year for 7 years then,

Compound interest in 7 years =$20900(1+7.8/12)^12×7

=$20900×1.7233= $36016.97

After 3 years, Nabax would have 4 years left to make what kuley made in 7 years

Kuley made compound interest of $36016.97-$20900= $15116.97

Nabax will invest for 4 years at simple interest rate of 5.3%

Simple interest = principal×time×rate/100

We substitute to get his needed amount(principal)

$15116.97=Principal×4×5.3/100

$15116.97= 21.2Principal/100

Cross multiply to make principal subject of the formula:

Principal= 1511697/21.2

Principal = $73306.46

Therefore Nabax needs to invest $73306.46 to get the same amount of return that kuley got in 7 years

Suppose Jacques and Kyoko are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action Left or Right. The payoff matrix that follows shows the payoff each person will earn as a function of both of their choices. For example, the lower-right cell shows that if Jacques chooses Right and Kyoko chooses Right, Jacques will receive a payoff of 5 and Kyoko will receive a payoff of 3.

Kyoko
Left Right
Jacques Left 4, 4 6, 3
Right 5, 4 5, 3

The only dominant strategy in this game is for ___________ to choose ______________. The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Jacques chooses _______________ and Kyoko chooses ______________.

Answers

Answer:

The only dominant strategy in this game is for Kyoko to choose Left. The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Jacques chooses Right and Kyoko chooses Left.

Explanation:

A dominant strategy is strategy that makes a player better off regardless of the strategy of his opponents in a game.

From the payoff matrix, it can be observed that, when Jacques plays Left, Kyoko will also play Left because 4 > 3. But, when Jacques plays Right, Kyoko will still play Left because 4 > 3. This indicated that Kyoko will always play Left no matter what Jacques plays. As a result, the dominant strategy for Kyoko is Left.

On the other hand, when Kyoko plays Left, Jacques will play Right because 5 > 4. But when Kyoko plays Right, Jacques will play Left because 6 > 5. This shows that Jacques does not have any particular strategy that make him better off. As a result, Jacques does not have a dominant strategy.

Based on the above analysis, we have:

The only dominant strategy in this game is for Kyoko to choose Left. The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Jacques chooses Right and Kyoko chooses Left.

Its annual common fixed expenses are $113,000. Required: Prepare a contribution format income statement segmented by product lines.

Answers

Answer:

The net profits are as follows:

Total Company = $647,200

Weedban = $161,605

Greengrow = $485,595

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel for the contribution format income statement segmented by product lines.

In the attached excel file, the following formula is used:

Allocation of common fixed expenses to Weedban = (Units of Weedban / (Units of Weedban + Units of Greengrow)) * Common fixed expenses = (41,500 / (41,500 + 24,000) * $113,000 = $71,595

Allocation of common fixed expenses to Greengrow = (Units of Greengrow / (Units of Weedban + Units of Greengrow)) * Common fixed expenses = (24,000 / (41,500 + 24,000) * $113,000 = $41,405

From the attached excel file, the net profits are as follows:

Total Company = $647,200

Weedban = $161,605

Greengrow = $485,595

Answers

Answer: True

Explanation:

When a firm is able to use the same or similar processes across different countries to produce goods and services, they will get more adept at using them and will be able to acquire resources at a cheaper rate because they acquire the required resources in huge quantities.

This will lead to optimum economies of scale because costs would be saved from both knowing how to be more efficient across various nations and being able to acquire resources at the lowest prices.

valued at $850,000 by a real estate expert. The president of the company is questioning the accuracy of the firm’s latest balance sheet because it shows a book value of $550,000 for the building. How would you explain this situation to the president

Answers

Question Completion:

A building owned by Hopewell Company was recently valued at $850,000 by a real estate expert.

Answer:

Book Value and Fair Value

There is a difference between the book value and the fair value of an asset.  The book value is based on the asset's historical cost. The fair value is the current market price of the asset.  In reporting long-term assets, the acceptable basis is the historical cost or the cost of acquiring the asset. This cost is further reduced by annual depreciation charges.  The fair value is not often the acceptable basis for reporting long-term assets unless the entity is no longer a going concern or the asset has suffered an impairment loss.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculation:

Fair value by a real estate expert = $850,000

Suppose there is a simple one good economy that only produces spinning rims. In 2015, the economy was able to produce 1 million sets of spinning rims at an amazing price of $500 per set. In 2016, the economy was able to produce 1 million sets of spinning rims at a price of $1,000 per set. By what amount did real GDP increase between 2015 and 2016 in the simple one good economy

Answers

Answer: 0

Explanation:

Firstly, we will calculate the nominal value in 2015 which will be:

= $500 x 1 million

= $500 million

The nominal value in 2016 will be:

= $1000 x 1 million

= $1 billion

Real GDP will be the price of the base year multiplied by the quantity of the current year which will be:

= $500 million x 1 million sets

= $500 million

Therefore, the increase in real GDP is zero.
