There are no options included so I will give the answers as beat I can based on economic knowledge.

FISCAL policy is designed to shift the aggregate DEMAND curve by the federal government changing its SPENDING and TAXATION policies.

The government can influence the economy through fiscal policy. It does this by changing its taxation and spending policies to either increase economic growth or reduce overheating.

An EXPANSIONARY fiscal policy would attempt to speed up the economy by shifting this curve to the RIGHT. This would be accomplished by the government spending MORE than it took received in taxes. Such a policy would result in a budgetary DEFICIT .

With an expansionary policy, the government would increase it's spending such that it would be more than the taxation imposed. With the government spending more than they brought it from taxes, a budget deficit will result.

Such a policy would be employed to get the economy out of a RECESSION and fight the undesirable economic phenomenon of UNEMPLOYMENT.

When the economy is going through a recession, the economy will be facing a decline so in order to renew growth, the government would spend more to bring it out of a decline and therefore prevent or reduce unemployment.

Suppose you trade dollars and euros for a bank that has branches in Los Angeles and Frankfurt. You can electronically transfer the funds between the two branch locations at no cost, and trading commissions are negligible. The current dollar-per-euro exchange rate in Los Angeles is E$/EURLA=1.5653 , while in Frankfurt, it is E$/EURFR=1.586.

You can make a profit for the bank if you buy euros in _______ and sell them in _________.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Profit will be made by you for the bank if you buy the Euros in Los Angeles, and sell the Euros to customers in Frankfurt...

Buying in Los Angeles comes at a price of $1 = €1.5653, then going ahead to sell in Frankfurt means you get to sell it at a rate of $1 = €1.586

Although this is a very tiny difference, of 0.0207. The reality is that when you're doing a lot of tradings that involves currency, you tend to see the profit. If for example, a total of $1 million is traded, then the profit would be $20700, which we all can attest to the fact that it's a lot of money.

When a company uses a
allocation rate there is only one base for allocating all overhead costs to products or other cost objects.

Answers

Answer:

company-wide

Explanation:

Using a single company-wide allocation rate implies that only one cost driver (or cost base) is used to allocate all the overhead costs to the product units, batches, departments, or divisions, and other cost objects.  This single rate is the plant-wide or company-wide allocation rate.  It is opposed to the use of multiple allocation rates, where different rates are calculated and used to allocate overhead costs from different cool pools to the units or activities consuming the services.  The company-wide allocation rate is typical with traditional costing method, while the multiple allocation rates are used with ABC costing method.

Andy derives utility from two goods, potato chips (Qp) and Cola (Qc). Andy receives zero utility unless he consumes some of at least one good. The marginal utility that he receives from the two goods is given as follows:
Qp MUp Qc MUc
1 12 1 24
2 10 2 22
3 8 3 20
4 6 4 18
5 4 5 16
6 2 6 14
7 -2 7 12
8 4 8 10
Refer to Scenario, what is the total utility that Andy will receive if he consumes 5 units of potato chips (Qp) and no Cola drink (Qc)?

Answers

Answer:

TU = 40

Explanation:

Total utility is the sum of marginal utility obtained by consuming different units of the good. So at 5 units of potato chips (Qp) and 0 units of Cola drink (Qc) , we can find total utility by adding marginal utility till 5th unit of Qp.

[tex]Total utility = 12 + 10 + 8 + 6 + 4 \\ = 40[/tex]

Thus, total utility from 5 units of potato chips and no cola is 40 utils.

The total utility that Andy will receive if he consumes 5 units of potato chips (Qp) and no Cola drink (Qc) is 40.

The calculation is as follows:

= 12 + 10 + 8 + 6 + 4

= 40 utils

Therefore we can conclude that The total utility that Andy will receive if he consumes 5 units of potato chips (Qp) and no Cola drink (Qc) is 40.

Ralph, knowing that his son, Ed, desires to purchase a tract of land, promises to give him the $25,000 he needs for the purchase. Ed, relying on this promise, buys an option on the tract of land. Now Ralph wants to rescind his promise to Ed. Will Judy be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build, and will Ralph be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land. Can Ralph rescind his promise?

Answers

Answer:

(a) Yes, Judy will be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build. Therefore, Judy cannot rescind his promise to Liza.

(b) No, Ralph will NOT be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land. Therefore, Ralph can rescind his promise.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

(a) Judy orally promises her daughter, Liza, that she will give her a tract of land for her home. Liza, as intended by Judy, gives up her homestead and takes possession of the land. Liza lives there for six months and starts construction of a home. Now Judy wants to rescind his promise to Liza.

(b) Ralph, knowing that his son, Ed, desires to purchase a tract of land, promises to give him the $25,000 he needs for the purchase. Ed, relying on this promise, buys an option on the tract of land. Now Ralph wants to rescind his promise to Ed.

Will Judy be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build, and will Ralph be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land. Can Ralph rescind his promise?

Explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:

Each of the two cases will be decided based on the principle promissory estoppel.

Promissory estoppel refers to the legal principle that states that despite that there us formal consideration attached to a promise, it is still enforceable by law if the promise from the promisor makes the promisee to rely on the promise to his subsequent detriment.

(a) Will Judy be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build?

Yes, Judy will be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build.

The is because Liza has relied on the promise from Judy to her subsequent detriment by giving up her up her homestead and already starts construction of a home. Since the Judy promise from Judy induces the action of Liza that is reasonably expected by Judy, he cannot rescind his promise to Liza.

(b) Will Ralph be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land. Can Ralph rescind his promise?

No, Ralph will NOT be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land.

This is because there is Ed has not taken any definite and substantial action to justify that he has relied on the promise from Ralph to his subsequent detriment. It may not be possible to construe the purchase of an option on the tract of land by Ed as a definite and substantial action. Therefore, Ralph can rescind his promise.

Van Frank Telecommunications has a patent on a cellular transmission process. The company has amortized the $26.10 million cost of the patent on a straight-line basis since it was acquired at the beginning of 2017. Due to rapid technological advances in the industry, management decided that the patent would benefit the company over a total of six years rather than the nine-year life being used to amortize its cost. The decision was made at the end of 2021 (before adjusting and closing entries.

Required:
Prepare the appropriate adjusting entry for patent amortization in 2013 to reflect the revised estimate.

Answers

Answer:

Original Cost = $26.10

Annual Amortization (Old) = $26.10 / 9 years

Annual Amortization (Old) = $2.9 million

Amortization till Date (2017 - 2021) = $2.9*4 = $11.6 million

Unamortized Value = $26.10 million - $11.6 million

Unamortized Value = $14.5 million

Remaining Life = 6 - 4

Remaining Life = 2 Years

New Amortization = Unamortized Value/Remaining Life

New Amortization =  $14.5/2

New Amortization = $7.25 million

Finerly Corporation sells cosmetics through a network of independent distributors. Finerly shipped cosmetics to its distributors and is considering whether it should record $220,000 of revenue upon shipment of a new line of cosmetics. Finerly expects the distributors to be able to sell the cosmetics, but is uncertain because it has little experience with selling cosmetics of this type. Finerly is committed to accepting the cosmetics back from the distributors if the cosmetics are not sold. How much revenue should Finerly recognize upon delivery to its distributors

Answers

Answer:

The amount of revenue Finerly should recognize upon delivery to its distributors is $0.

Explanation:

From the question, the following two very important points can be observed:

1. Finerly expects the distributors to be able to sell the cosmetics, but is uncertain because it has little experience with selling cosmetics of this type.

2. Finerly is committed to accepting the cosmetics back from the distributors if the cosmetics are not sold.

Since there is an uncertainty that the the distributors will be able to sell the cosmetics and Finerly is committed to accepting them back from the distributors if they are not sold, these imply that the amount of sales revenue cannot be known or reasonably estimated until when the distributors actually sell the cosmetics.

Therefore, the amount of revenue Finerly should recognize upon delivery to its distributors is $0.

A) Benny has a valid claim and can sue the state because he can establish all of the elements of a prima facie case.
B) Benny cannot file a claim for age discrimination under the ADEA because he is a state employee.
C) Benny is a state employee and must file his claim pursuant to the Older Workers' Benefit Protection Act.
D) Benny does not have a claim for age discrimination under the ADEA as he was replaced by an employee who is older than 30.

Answers

Answer: B. Benny cannot file a claim for age discrimination under the ADEA because he is a state employee.

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, since Benny lives in a state that has not waived sovereign immunity, thus simply means that Benny cannot file a claim for age discrimination under the ADEA because he is a state employee.

Eben though the Age Discrimination in the Employment Act protects workers that are 40 years and above and Benny is 57 years, it should be noted that in the states whereby sovereign immunity hasn't been waived, the state employees cannot due their employers as they're barred from doing so.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

I. Natural Rate of Unemployment (NU).

II. Frictional unemployment rate (FU).

III. Structural unemployment rate (SU).

IV. Actual unemployment rate (AU).

V. Cyclical unemployment rate (CU).

Wesley, who is single, listed his personal residence with a real estate agent on March 3 of the current year at a price of $390,000. He rejected several offers in the $350,000 range during the summer. Finally, on August 16, he and the purchaser signed a contract to sell for $363,000. The sale (i.e., closing) took place on September 7. The closing statement showed the following disbursements:

Real estate agent's commission $21,780
Appraisal fee 600
Exterminator's certificate 300

b. Wesley's adjusted basis for the new residence is ___________
c. Assume instead that the selling price is $800,000.
Wesley's recognized gain is _____________, and his adjusted basis for the new residence is __________

Answers

Answer:

a. Wesley's recognized gain on the sale is $0.

b. Wesley's adjusted basis for the new residence is $325,000

c. Assume instead that the selling price is $800,000.

Wesley's recognized gain is $326,520, and his adjusted basis for the new residence is $325,000.

Explanation:

Wesley's actual gain = $363,000 - $21,780 - $600 - $300 - $800 - $200,000 = $139,520, but it can all be excluded using section 121.

If the selling price is $800,000;

Wesley's actual gain = $800,000 - $21,780 - $600 - $300 - $800 - $200,000 = $576,520, but he can exclude $250,000, so his recognized gain = $326,520

Due to better internet job searching websites, the job finding rate increases in the recent years. In a survey studying the job finding rate in Jan 2019, 420 out of 10,000 unemployed workers report that they found jobs. In the same period of time, a similar survey studying employment status reports that 29 out of 10,000 employed workers left their jobs. What is the steady unemployment rate

Answers

Answer:

6.46%

Explanation:

Job finding rate (F) = Rate at which the unemployed people get job

Job Separation rate (S) = Rate at which the employed people loose their job

Steady state level of unemployment = Ratio of Unemployed people to the Total labor (i.e U/L)

Formulae used to calculate the steady state level of unemployment is: U/L = S / S + F

Where F =  (420/10,000)*100 = 4.2%

Where S = (29/10,000)*100 = 0.29%

Steady unemployment rate (U/L) = 0.29 / (0.29 + 4.2)

Steady unemployment rate (U/L) = 0.29 / 4.49

Steady unemployment rate (U/L) = 0.0646

Steady unemployment rate (U/L) = 6.46%

A firm has current assets that could be sold for their book value of $22 million. The book value of its fixed assets is $60 million, but they could be sold for $90 million today. The firm has total debt with a book value of $40 million, but interest rate declines have caused the market value of the debt to increase to $50 million. What is this firm's market-to-book ratio

Answers

Answer:

the firm market to book ratio is 1.48

Explanation:

The computation of the market to book ratio is shown below:

The Market values is

= $22 million + $90 million - $50 million

= $ 62 million

And, the Book values is

= $22 million + $60 million - $40 million

= $42 million

Now the firm market to book ratio is

= $62 million ÷ $42 million

= 1.48

Hence, the firm market to book ratio is 1.48

Determine aggregate expenditures (AE) in this economy when real GDP (Y) is equal to $1,500 billion, $2,000 billion, and $2,500 billion.
When Y = $1,500 billion, AE =
billion.
When Y = $2,000 billion, AE =
billion
When Y = $2.500 billion, AE =
billion.

Answers

Answer:

a) When Y = $1,500 billion, AE =$1050 billion

b)When Y = $2,000 billion, AE = $1400 billion

c) When Y = $2.500 billion, AE =$1750 billion

Explanation:

As we know,

Yd = Y- T

Y = national income (or GDP)

T = Tax Revenues = 0.3Y

a) When Y = $1,500 billion, AE = $1,500 -0.3*$1,500 = $1050 billion

b) When Y = $2,000 billion, AE =$2,000 - 0.3*$2,000 = $1400 billion

c) When Y = $2.500 billion, AE = $2.500 - 0.3 * $2.500 = $1750 billion

Assuming the economy to operate in equilibrium, the aggregate expenditure model explains that GDP is equal to the Aggregate expenditure. Therefore, the solutions are:

Y = $1,500 billion, AE = $1,500 billion.Y = $2,000 billion, AE = $2,000 billion.Y = $2,500 billion, AE = $2,500 billion.

What is the aggregate expenditure model?

The aggregate expenditure model explains the relationship between GDP and planned spending. The model states that:

[tex]\rm GDP = Planned \:spendings[/tex]

Therefore the Aggregate expenditure for the real GPDs is:

Y = $1,500 billion, AE = $1,500 billion.Y = $2,000 billion, AE = $2,000 billion.Y = $2,500 billion, AE = $2,500 billion.

What are the weighted-average accumulated expenditures?

Answers

Answer:

$8,395,833

Explanation:

Calculation to determine What are the weighted-average accumulated expenditures

Weighted-average accumulated expenditures

=($6,400,000 × 10/12) + ($5,250,000 × 7/12) + ($8,650,000 × 0/12)

Weighted-average accumulated expenditures=$5,333,333+$3,062,500+0

Weighted-average accumulated expenditures=$8,395,833

Therefore the weighted-average accumulated expenditures will be $8,395,833

MedTech Corp. stock was $55.25 per share at the end of last year. Since then, it paid a $0.45 per share dividend. The stock price is currently $62.50. If you owned 500 shares of MedTech, what was your percent return

Answers

Answer:

Percentage Return = 0.13936651584  or  13.936651584%  rounded off to 13.94%

Explanation:

To calculate the return percentage, we need to take the total return provided by the share in form of both dividends and capital gains. The total yield or return for the holding period can be calculated as follows,

Percentage Return = [Dividend + P1 - P0] / P0

Where,

P1 is price todayP0 is the purchase price

Percentage Return = [0.45 + 62.50 - 55.25] / 55.25

Percentage Return = 0.13936651584  or  13.936651584%  rounded off to 13.94%

Game Theory and Strategic Choices -- End of Chapter Problem You have developed a new computer operating system and are considering whether you should enter the market and compete with Microsoft. Microsoft has the option of offering their operating system for a high price or a low price. Once Microsoft selects a price, you will decide whether you want to enter the market or not enter the market. If Microsoft charges a high price and you enter, Microsoft will earn $30 million and you will earn $10 million. If Microsoft charges a high price and you do not enter, Microsoft will earn $60 million and you will earn $0. If Microsoft charges a low price and you enter, Microsoft will earn $20 million and you will lose $5 million. If Microsoft charges a low price and you do not enter, Microsoft will earn $50 million and you will earn $0. Construct a payoff table and find the Nash equilibrium if you and Microsoft both make your decisions simultaneously.
In a simultaneous move game, Microsoft will and you will:___________

Answers

Answer:

Microsoft will choses High price and you will choose to enter the market .

Explanation:

The Nash equilibrium

                                                           You

                                                enter                     Don't enter

Microsoft  high price          ( $30 , $10 )              ( $60 , $0 )

Microsoft  low price            ( $20, -$5 )               ( $50, $0 )

From the Nash equilibrium the best time for you to enter the market is when Microsoft Charges a high price

While the best time for Microsoft is when it charges a high price and you do not enter the market

But considering Simultaneous Move game : Microsoft will choses High price and you will choose to enter the market .

Here is the payoff table:

                Enter          Don't enter  

High          30, 10         60,0

Low           20, -5        50, 0

In a simultaneous move game, Microsoft will charge a high price and you will enter the market.

Game theory studies how participants in a competitive market make the best choice for themselves.  

Nash equilibrium is the best outcome for participants in a competitive market where no player has an incentive to change their decisions.

If I enter the market, I can either earn $10 million or lose $5 million. If I don't enter the market, I would earn nothing. The best strategy for me is to enter the market because $5 million is greater than 0.

If Microsoft charges a high price, it can either earn $30 million or $60 million. If the firm charges a low price, it would earn either $20 or $50 million. The best strategy is to charge a high price.

Recently, some college alumni started a moving service for students living on campus. They have 3 employees and are debating hiring one more. The hourly wage for an employee is $30 per hour. An average moving job takes 4 hours. The company currently does 3 moving jobs per week, but with one more employee, the company could manage 5 jobs per week. The company charges $100 for a moving job.

b. The value of that merginal product is ______.
c. The moving service should moving jobs ______- hire another worker.

Answers

Answer: a. 2

b. $200

c. Should not

Explanation:

a. The new employee's marginal product of labor is ______.

This will be:

= 5 - 3

= 2 moving jobs

b. The value of that marginal product is ______..

Since the company charges $100 for a moving job, the value of the marginal product will be:

= 2 × $100

= $200

c. The moving service should moving jobs ______- hire another worker

Marginal cost of moving 2 jobs will be:

= $30 × 4 × 2

= $240

Since the marginal cost is more than the marginal product, the company should not hire another worker.

Explanation:

Lily Company sells automatic can openers under a 75-day warranty for defective merchandise. Based on past experience, Lily estimates that 4% of the units sold will become defective during the warranty period. Management estimates that the average cost of replacing or repairing a defective unit is $20. The units sold and units defective that occurred during the last 2 months of 2020 are as follows:

Months Units Sold Units Defective Prior to December 31
November 37,300 746
December 39,300 491

Required:
a. Prepare the journal entries to record the estimated liability for warranties and the costs incurred in honoring 1,237 warranty claims.
b. Determine the estimated warranty liability at December 31 for the units sold in November and December.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

In November month:

Estimated defective units:

= Estimated Percentage  to be defective units × Units sold

= 4% × 37,300

= 1,492

The Estimated cost of repairing defective units is  

= Estimated defective units × Estimated cost of repairing the defective unit

=  1,492 × $20

= $29,840

In December month:

Estimated defective units:

= Estimated Percentage to be defective units × Units sold

= 4% × 39,300

= 1,572

The Estimated cost of repairing defective units:

= Estimated defective units × Estimated cost of repairing the defective unit

=  1,572 × $20

= $31,440

Now the Total estimated liability is  

= $29,840 + $31,440

= $61,280

The Journal entries are as follows:

(a) Warranty expenses A/c   Dr. $61,280  

       To Estimated warranty payable                $61,280

(Being warranty expense is recorded)

Estimated warranty payable A/c    Dr. $24,740

          To Cash/ Material consume                                     $24,740

(being cash paid is recorded)

(b) The estimated warranty liability is $61,280

Answers

Question Completion with Options:

a. A lack of diversification in fund A as compared to fund D.

b. Different benchmarks used to evaluate each fund’s performance.

c. A difference in risk premiums.

Answer:

The difference in rankings for Funds A and D is most likely due to:

a. A lack of diversification in fund A as compared to fund D.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Fund   Treynor Measure Rank   Sharpe Ratio Rank

A                           1                                 4

B                           2                                3

C                          3                                 2

D                          4                                 1

b) The Sharpe ratio and the Treynor measure are two financial performance ratios that measure the risk-adjusted rate of return of an investment. Specifically, the Sharpe ratio helps investors to understand an investment's return profile when compared to its risk profile.  On the other hand, the Treynor ratio measures the excess return generated for portfolio risk per unit.  

In conclusion, the Sharpe ratio appears to be a better measure with  a portfolio that is not properly diversified, while the Treynor ratio works better with a well-diversified portfolio.

Annie earns $15 per hour babysitting. How many hours will it take her to earn $60? You are designing a package for 200 g of snack food that is sensitive to oxygen, and fails when it absorbs 120 ppm of oxygen (by weight). Marketing tells you it wants the snack to be in a plastic pouch measuring 6 inches by 6 inches (ignore seems), so it will have a total surface area available for permeation of 72 in(6" x 6" x 2 sides). You need to recommend an appropriate plastic material for this product, to provide a minimum of 70 days shelf life. Follow these steps: a. Calculate the allowable oxygen gain, in cm at STP. (5 pts) b. At this point, you do not know the material you will use, so you do not know the permeability coefficient or the thickness. The better the barrier the plastic you choose, the thinner the material can be to provide the appropriate barrier. Rather than simple trial and error, a sensible approach is to solve for the ratio of P/L that is required. We can solve the basic permeability equation for this ratio: P = 9 At Ap L Use the information you have to determine the required value for P/L, expressing your answer in cm/(100 in? d atm). (5 pts) c. Use the information in the textbook (chapters 4 and 14 or in another reliable source; provide reference if you have used chapter 4, 14 or any other source) on oxygen permeability coefficients for various polymers to select a polymer that would be suitable, and calculate the required thickness. (Be sure this is reasonable; for example, if the required thickness is more than 20 mils, you need to choose a different polymer!) Note that chapter 4 presents these values in the units you used in (b) while chapter 14 presents values with different units, so unit conversion would be required. In your answer, state the material you have chosen, its oxygen permeability coefficient, and the minimum thickness you recommend. (Be sure to express the thickness with no more than one decimal place.) Obviously, there is more than one solution to this problem, but you only need one.
