Suppose the government decides that every family should own its own home. To bring this about, the government decides to subsidize the home-construction industry by giving the home-construction companies $10,000 for every house that they build. As a result of this,
Answer: the supply curve of new houses would shift rightward, since builders would be willing to produce and sell more houses at each given price.
Explanation:
Since the government decides to subsidize the home-construction industry by giving the home-construction companies $10,000 for every house that they build, then the supply curve of new houses would shift rightward, since builders would be willing to produce and sell more houses at each given price.
Builders will be willing to produce more houses because they'll intend to get the $10000 given by the government and this will be a source of motivation. Therefore, the supply curve will shift to the right.

How long must one wait (to the nearest year) for an initial investment of $1,000 to triple in value if the investment earns 8% compounded annually
Answer:
t = 14 years
Explanation:
The computation of the time period is shown below:
As we know that
Future value = Present value ×(1 + rate of interest)^time period
$3,000 = $1,000 × (1 + 0.08)^time period
3 = 1.08^time period
Now multiply log to both sides
So,
lof(3) ÷ log(1.08) = t
t = 14 years

Explanation:
Supply chain management can be defined as the effective and efficient management of the flow of goods and services as well as all of the production processes involved in the transformation of raw materials into finished products that meet the insatiable want and need of the consumers.
Generally, the supply chain management involves all the activities associated with planning, execution and supply of finished goods and services to the consumers.
Some of the service providers in the supply and logistics chain management are;
1. Common (public) carrier: a transportation service provider that handles shipments on a case-by-case basis i.e based on the type of shipment, without entering into long-term agreements or contracts.

A low-cost leader can translate its low-cost advantage over its rivals into superior profit performance by
Answer:
either using its low-cost edge to underprice competitors and attract price sensitive buyers in large enough numbers to increase total profits or refraining from price-cutting and using the low-cost advantage to earn a bigger profit margin on each unit sold.
Explanation:
Competitive advantage is the edge that a firm has over others in the same industry that results in higher profit margins for them.
One of the importance competitive advantages is price advantage.
This results from the firm being a low cost leader. Their cost of production is low enough for them to attract customers that are price sensitive leading to increased profits.
Also they can underprice their competitors or earn profit margins on the reduced cost of production per unit
Answer:
The low-cost leader can try to underprice the rest of the competition in order to attract more customers. Lower prices should increase total sales volume which will help to increase profits by offsetting fixed costs and increasing the total contribution margin. This strategy can be used as long as the firm is able to produce under economies of scale.

Skipper’s Pet Products was started by Steve to sell a range of dog food and treats made from fish. Due to fish being a very perishable product, different methods are used to preserve the life and quality of the product. Arguably, the best method, albeit the most labour intensive and time-consuming, is to dry the fish over several days. This process maintains the nutritional content of the fish, which is often lost using other methods, and it is this that enables Skipper’s to offer a product with a clear USP.
The company is based in Steve’s hometown of Grimsby and he is proud of the local fishing heritage. The fish used in Skipper’s products is sourced from the docks in Grimsby or nearby Hull. Steve says the location of the business means that raw materials and qualified labour are easy to source.
Skipper’s Pet Products have lots of competition, but the competitors buy low quality fish
in China and cook the treats at high temperatures which removes some nutrients so they
are not high quality, healthy dog treats like Skipper’s treats.
The company website allows Skipper’s to sell their dog treats to customers all over the UK. The website sales are increasing each month and generate a larger profit margin than Skipper’s sales to pet shops.
question: Evaluate whether locating Skipper’s close to raw materials was the most important
factor Steve should have considered when choosing a location for his business.
You should use your knowledge of the business as well as the information provided
Answer: Yes it was
Explanation:
When considering where you should set up location, it is best to look at the cost of locating your business from various perspectives such as raw material acquisition, transport to suppliers, transport to customers and accessibility.
Depending on the business, some factors would have to be given more weight. In the above scenario, raw material acquisition and transport from suppliers should be given a higher weight because the goods are perishable and so costs would be high if the location is too far from the source of the fish.
Given that technology has made it easier to sell from many places, transport to customers is not as major a factor as transport to suppliers. The most important factor to focus on for this business therefore is raw material acquisition and by locating the company so close to the source, the cost to acquire the raw material from suppliers was heavily reduced so this was the best option.
A train traveling from State A to State B went off the tracks in State C, causing the death of 90 passengers on the train. The relatives of many of the deceased passengers filed a wrongful death action against the train company in the federal district court for State C seeking $100,000,000 in damages. The relatives currently are citizens of 15 states, including one who is a citizen of State D. Approximately 35 percent of all the relatives of deceased passengers are citizens of State A, more than any other state. The train company is incorporated and has its principal place of business in State D. The company operates trains in 46 states. Does the court have diversity jurisdiction to hear this claim
Answer: Yes, because more than 75 individuals died in a single accident, at least one plaintiff is not a citizen of State D, and the defendant resides in a state other than State C.
Explanation:
It should be noted that according to the Multiparty, Multiforum Trial Jurisdiction Act of 2002, in.a case whereby there's a civil action from a single accident, such that at least 75 people died in an accident, only one plaintiff is required to be of diverse citizenship in order for the court to have diversity jurisdiction.
From the question, 90 people died which even exceeded the required 75 people. Also, at least one plaintiff is not a citizen of State D. Lastly, the defendant lives in a state other than State C.
Maben Company was started on January 1, Year 1, and experienced the following events during its first year of operation: Acquired $30,000 cash from the issue of common stock. Borrowed $40,000 cash from National Bank. Earned cash revenues of $48,000 for performing services. Paid cash expenses of $25,000. Paid a $1,000 cash dividend to the stockholders. Acquired an additional $20,000 cash from the issue of common stock. Paid $10,000 cash to reduce the principal balance of the bank note. Paid $53,000 cash to purchase land. Determined that the market value of the land is $75,000.
Answer:

Record the preceding transactions in the horizontal statements model. Also, in the Cash Flows column, classify the cash flows as operating activities (OA), investing activities (IA), or financing activities (FA).
The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
Note: See the attached excel file for the the horizontal statements in which the transactions are recorded.
From the attached excel file, we have:
Assets = Cash + Land = $49,000 + $53,000 = $102,000
Liabilities = Notes Payable = $30,000
Shareholders' Equity = Common Stock + Retained Earnings = $50,000 + $22,000 = $72,000
Liabilities + Shareholders' Equity = $30,000 + $72,000 = $102,000
Therefore, the accounting equation holds as follows:
Assets = Liabilities + Shareholders' Equity = $102,000
Also note that no figure is recorded for "Determined that the market value of the land is $75,000" because it does affect the horizontal statement since an asset must be recorded at the historical cost.

Answer: Finance Lease
Explanation:
There are two main types of leases which are operating leases and finance leases. Operating leases work much like an asset being rented so no ownership is passed from the person leasing to the leasee.
