economic services.
capital goods.
Answer:
economic services.
Explanation:
An economy is a function of how money, means of production and resources (raw materials) are carefully used to facilitate the demands and supply of goods and services to meet the unending needs or requirements of the consumers.
Hence, a region's or country's economy is largely dependent on how resources are being allocated and utilized, how many goods and services are to be produced, what should be produced, for whom they are to be produced for and how much money are to be spent by the consumers to acquire these goods and services.
Basically, there are four (4) main types of economy and these are;
I. Mixed economy.
II. Free market economy.
III. Traditional economy.
IV. Command economy.
A service provided by a business to the final user is known as economic services.
Basically, economic services are considered to be intangible, inconsistent and perishable in nature. Thus, some examples of economic services are banking, hospitality, transportation, telecommunication, marketing, legal, rentals, insurance, security, public relations, etc.
Assume that you manage a risky portfolio with an expected rate of return of 15% and a standard deviation of 31%. The T-bill rate is 5%.
Stock A 26%
Stock B 33%
Stock C 41%
A client prefers to invest in your portfolio a proportion (y) that maximizes the expected return on the overall portfolio subject to the constraint that the overall portfolio's standard deviation will not exceed 20%.
a. What is the investment proportion, y?
b. What is the expected rate of return on the overall portfolio?
Answer:
a. 64.52%
b. 11.45 percent
Explanation:
we solve for the standard deviation of the full portfolio. the standard deviation will not be more than 20 percent.
this is given as
y * 31 percent
20% = y * 0.31
0.20 = 0.31y
y = 0.20/0.31
y = 0.64516
= 64.52 percent
b. The expected rate of return
= (1- 64.52%)*0.05+0.6452*15percent
= 0.3548*0.05+0.09678
= 0.11452
= 11.45 percent
this is the expected rate of return on the overall portfolio
The gain or loss from retirement of debt is reported under cash flows from operating activities on the statement of cash flows using the indirect method.
a. True
b. False

Juanita worked hard all year so that she could go to nursing school the following year. She put her savings into a mutual fund that paid a nominal interest rate of 4 percent a year. The CPI was 252 at the beginning of the year and 257 at the end of the year. What was the real interest rate that Juanita earned?
Answer:
1.98%
Explanation:
Inflation rate = (CPI at the end of the year / CPI at the beginning of the year) - 1
(257 / 252) - 1 = 0.01984 = 1.984%
(1 + nominal interest rate) = (1 + inflation rate) (1 + real interest rate)
1.04 = 1.01984 x (1 + real interest rate)
(1 + real interest rate) = (1.04 / 1.01984) - 1 = 1.98%
The Real Option Inc. is considering a new project. It believes that each year it would be able to sell 15 units at a $300,000 per-unit after-tax profit (i.e., per-unit operating cash flow) for the next five years. A $14.8 million initial investment will be required at the beginning of the project. The appropriate discount rate is 16 percent.
Required:
Calculate the base-case NPV of this project.
Answer:
NPV = $10.708 million
Explanation:
The base case NPV is that calculated by discounting the after-tax cash flow by the cost of equity based on asset beta. The base-case NPV does not consider the financing effect of the any particular finance source used to fund the project.
NPV = PV of cash inflow - Initial outlay
After-tax cash flow = 300,000×15= 4.5 million
PV of cash inflow = cash inflow × A × (1- (1+r)^(-n)/r
4.5 ×( 1- (1.16^-5)/0.16= 25.508 million
NPV = PV of cash inflow - Initial outlay
NPV = 25.508 million - 14.8 million
NPV = $10.708 million

GHI Corporation, a California corporation, has a six-person board. At a regular board meeting, only two directors attend. No notice was sent to any of the directors. The two attending call directors Alice and Bob and put them on a conference call. The four talk about the corporation buying Blackacre and then all agree to a resolution for GHI to buy Blackacre from Third Party. The Bylaws of GHI state that an action of the board requires the consent of a majority of the directors present at a meeting, and that a quorum is a majority of the authorized directors.
Select one:
a. the purchase is authorized because a quorum was present and a majority of those present approved the action.
b. the purchase is not authorized, since all real estate transactions require shareholder approval
c. the purchase is not authorized because prior written notice must be sent to each director
d. the purchase is not authorized because a quorum was not present at the board meeting
e. Two of the above are correct.
Answer:
a. the purchase is authorized because a quorum was present and a majority of those present approved the action.
Explanation:
going by the bye laws of GHI state, board action requires that majority of the members of the board are present and give consent in the meeting. here in this question, we have a 6 member board. Although only two of the board members are physically present, through conference call Alice and Bob increased the number to 2 when they joined in. Therefore the number of board members at this meeting is 4, then the requirement has been met. So since this 4 agreed to the purchase, it is authorized and valid since a quorum was present and a majority of them agreed to the action. option a is correct
The correct statement is a. the purchase is authorized because a quorum was present and, a majority of those present approved the action.
The quorum required by the Bylaws of GHI is for a majority of directors to be present, and in this case, four directors were present (two physically and two by conference call).
The Bylaws of GHI specify that every action of the directors should be supported by a majority present at a meeting. We can conclude that the purchase is authorized by the majority (100%).
Thus, the purchase of Blackacre by GHI is authorized.

The nominal interest rate in the U.S. is 5% and the nominal interest rate in Canada is 3%. The spot value of the U.S. dollar is 1 ($/Canadian dollar) and the forward rate is 1.2 ($/Canadian dollar). Which of the following is not true?A. The interest parity condition does not hold.
B. The dollar is likely to appreciate in spot markets.
C. Money will flow into the Canada.
D. The dollar is trading at a forward discount.
Answer: B. The dollar is likely to appreciate in spot markets.
Explanation:
First find the forward rate using the forward rate formula:
Forward rate = Spot rate * (1 + Interest rate of Canada) / (1 + Interest rate of US)
= 1 * ( 1 + 3%) / (1 + 5%)
= 0.980952
= 0.98
The forward rate according to the formula is less than the forward rate that is trading.
This means that the U.S. dollar is trading at a forward discount and when this happens, the dollar will not appreciate in the spot markets because it is scheduled to be discounted in the forward market.
Lin Corporation has a single product whose selling price is $134 per unit and whose variable expense is $67 per unit. The company’s monthly fixed expense is $31,750. Required: 1. Calculate the unit sales needed to attain a target profit of $8,450. (Do not round intermediate calculations.) 2. Calculate the dollar sales needed to attain a target profit of $9,700.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed cost= $31,750
Unitary contribution margin= 134 - 67= $67
To calculate the number of units to be sold, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit
Desired profit= $8,450
Break-even point in units= (31,750 + 8,450) / 67
Break-even point in units= 600
Now, the desired profit is $9,700; we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point (dollars)= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= (31,750 + 9,700) / (67/134)
Break-even point (dollars)= 41,450 / 0.5
Break-even point (dollars)= $82,900

Maplewood Co. uses process costing to account for the production of canned energy drinks. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. Cost per equivalent unit has been calculated to be $4.00 for conversion costs and $3.00 for materials. 2,000 units were in beginning inventory (100% complete for materials, 80% for conversion). 8,000 units were started and completed during the period. Ending inventory still in process was 4,000 units (100% complete for materials, 40% forconversion). The value of ending inventory using the FIFO method would be:______.
A. $18,400.00B. $23,133.20C. $31,933.20D. $65,000.00
Answer:
A. $18,400.00
Explanation:
The computation of the value of ending inventory using the FIFO method would be shown below:
Value of ending inventory = Materials + Conversion costs
where,
Materials = (4000 units × 100%) × $3 per unit
= $12,000
And,
Conversion costs = (4000 units × 40%) × $4 per unit
= $6,400
So, the ending inventory is
= $12,000 + $6,400
= $18,400

Ryan bought a stock three years ago for $6 a share. Today, June 22, the stock is selling for $72 a share. Ryan is afraid that the price will fall and does not want to lose his profits so he places a stop-loss order to sell at $70. The stock sells between $71 and $75 throughout the remainder of the day on June 22. On the morning of June 23, the stock opens at $9 a share based on rumors of a possible bankruptcy due to inappropriate accounting procedures. Which one of the following statements is true concerning this situation?
a. Ryan was able to sell his stock for $70 a share thereby protecting his profits.
b. Ryan's stock was sold for $9 a share causing him to lose most of his profits.
c. Ryan still owns his shares of stock since his order was never executed at the $70 price.
d. Ryan received a call from the specialist asking him what he wanted to do about his order.
Answer:
B) Ryan's stock was sold for $9 a share causing him to lose most of his profits.
Explanation:
Stop loss order means the limit the loss to the extent investor has opted. Since Ryan placed a stop loss order at $70, so, when the price of the stock starts at $9, the stock would be sold at $9 because it is the next available price to what he placed a stop loss order.
So, the Answer is Ryan stock is sold for $9 a share causing him to lose most of his profits.

A stock has a market price of $25 and a standard deviation of returns of 24 percent. The $25 call option matures in 4 months and the risk-free rate is 2.89 percent. N(d1) is .555198 and N(d2) is .500096. What is the value of the call option per share of stock
Answer:
$334.38
Explanation:
Use the following formula to calculate the value of call option
Value of call option = ( N ( [tex]d_{1}[/tex] ) S ) - N ( [tex]d_{2}[/tex] ) K [tex]e^{rt}[/tex]
Where
S = $25
N(d1) = 0.555198
N(d2) = 0.500096
K = 25
r = 2.89%
t = 4/12 = 0.3333
Placing values in the formula
Value of call option = ((0.555198 x $25 ) x $25) - ( 0.500096 x $25 ) x 1.00967891
Value of call option = $346.99875 - $12.62340
Value of call option = $334.37535
Value of call option = $334.38
Bakers are much ___________ likely to supply pastries to the market if property rights are not enforced. In the presence of market failures, public policy can improve economic efficiency. Classify the source of market failure in each case listed.
a. A manufacturing plant dumps chemical waste into a nearby river, poisoning the water supply for a small town downstream.
b. A single public utilities company is responsible for supplying electricity for an entire state. As a result, the utilities company can set the price of electricity.
Answer: more; externality; market power.
Explanation:
Bakers are much (more) likely to supply pastries to the market if property rights are not enforced.
a. A manufacturing plant dumps chemical waste into a nearby river, poisoning the water supply for a small town downstream. - Externality
Externality, refers to the benefit s or costs that someone else incurs based on the economic decision of another person. In this case, this is a negative externality as the small town bears the cost of the production activities of the company.
b. A single public utilities company is responsible for supplying electricity for an entire state. As a result, the utilities company can set the price of electricity - Market power
Market power is when a firm is able to dictate the price and can then raise the price. This brings about the reduction in output as well. Since the single public utilities company is responsible for supplying electricity for an entire state, the company is enjoying monopoly power or market power.
A company's beginning Work in Process inventory consisted of units that were 90 % complete with respect to direct labor A total of were finished during the period and remaining in Work in Process inventory were 40 % complete with respect to direct labor at the end of the period . Using the weighted average method the equivalent units of production with regard to direct labor were :
Answer: 109,800 units
Explanation:
Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Direct Labor can be calculated as:
= Units completed during the period + Equivalent ending Work in Process Inventory (1)
Equivalent ending Work in Process Inventory = 32,000 ending units * 40% completion with respect to direct labor
= 12,800 units
EUP direct labor = 97,000 + 12,800 (1)
= 109,800 units

10. Crowding out effect Suppose economists observe that an increase in government spending of $13 billion raises the total demand for goods and services by $52 billion. If these economists ignore the possibility of crowding out, they would estimate the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) to be . Now suppose the economists allow for crowding out. Their new estimate of the MPC would be than their initial one.
Answer:
Explanation:
Effect of crowding out:
The crowding out phenomena describes the economic phenomena in which an increase in government public spending leads to reduced or perhaps may eliminate of private investment.
Multiplier:
The multiplier represents the ratio of income to investment change.
Given that:
$13 billion increase in government spending will lead to a $52 billion
The rise in demand for goods & service will be the value of multiplier which is
= 52/13
= 4
To determine the multiplier using the formula:
Multiplier = 1 /( 1- MPC)
4 = 1/(1 - MPC)
4 (1 - MPC) = 1
(1- MPC) = 1/4
-MPC = 0.25 - 1
MPC = 0.75
Marginal propensity to consume = 0.75
