A business is considering a cash outlay of $880,000 for the purchase of land, which it intends to lease for $200,000 per year. If alternative investments are available that yield a 15% return, the opportunity cost of the purchase of the land is:___________.
a. $102,000.
b. $132,000.
c. $200,000.
d. $175,000.
Answer:
b. $132,000
Explanation:
Opportunity cost is an economic term for expressing cost in terms of foregone alternatives. From the above, we can infer that the company is considering a cash outlay of $880,000 for the purchase of land which it could lease for $200,000 per year and the alternative investment would bring in return 15% yield.
It therefore means that the opportunity cost for the purchase of land would be;
= Initial cash outlay × yield returns
= $880,000 × 15%
= $132,000
The opportunity cost of the purchase of the land is $132,000
Short Company purchased land by paying $22,000 cash on the purchase date and agreed to pay $22,000 for each of the next seven years beginning one-year from the purchase date. Short's incremental borrowing rate is 10%. On the balance sheet as of the purchase date, after the initial $22,000 payment was made, the liability reported is closest to: (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, and PVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
Answer:
The liability reported is closest to $107,105.21.
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV = Present value or the the liability reported =?
P = Annuity payment = $22,000
r = Student's desired return rate = 10%, or 0.10
n = number of years = 7
Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:
PV = $22,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.10))^7) / 0.10)
PV = $22,000 * 4.86841881769293
PV = $107,105.21
Therefore, the liability reported is closest to $107,105.21.
The three main methods that can be used to achieve the efficient use of a common resource are:___________.
A. property rights, production quotas, and ITQs
B. taxes, production quotas, and ITQs
C. property rights, marketable permits, and vouchers
D. property rights, production quotas, and marketable permits
Answer:
Option A:property rights, production quotas, and ITQs
Explanation:
A Common Resources is known simply as a resource for which rights are held in common by a group of individuals who has no exclusive ownership right. With common resources, property rights are not well-defined and are non-exclusive. In a common resource, an individual has the right to use the resource, but not to change its form or transfer it to other individuals. The policies that helps to improve efficiency include: production quotas, individual transferable quotas and property right.
Production quotas is simply an upper limit to the quantity of a good that may be produced legally.
An individual transferable quota is a production limit that is given to an individual who is free to transfer the quota to another person.
By the assignment of property rights, common property becomes private property.

In planning for your retirement, you have decided that you would like to be able to withdraw $60,000 per year for a 10 year period. The first withdrawal will occur 20 years from today.
a. What amount must you invest today if your return is 10% per year?
b. What amount must you invest today if your return is 15% per year?
Answer:
a. $66,309
b. $24, 333
Explanation:
In both scenarios, the Cash Flows are uneven. thus we need to be careful the way we use the Time Value of Money. What we will be looking for is the Net Present Value - the Initial cost of the Investment.
Step 1
The summary of cash flows for this project can be shown as follows :
Year 0 = ? (to be calculated)
Year 1 to Year 19 = 0
Year 20 to Year 30 = $60,000
Step 2
Using the CFj Function of the Financial calculator, we can then calculate the Net Present Value as :
Part a
$0 CFj
19 Nj
$60,000 CFj
10 Nj
10 % I/YR
Shift NPV = $66,309
Part b
$0 CFj
19 Nj
$60,000 CFj
10 Nj
15 % I/YR
Shift NPV = $24,333
Compared with supermarkets, the product mix for vending machines is: __________.
a. the same
b. wider and deeper
c. wider and deeper
d. shallower and narrower
e. narrower and deeper
Answer:
d. shallower and narrower
Explanation:
Product width basically refers to how many different product lines are sold, and obviously a supermarket sells hundreds of product line, while a vending machine generally sells soft drinks or snacks, which is only 1 product line.
The product depth refers to the amount of products sold, and a supermarket is much larger than a vending machine so it can sell many more products.
A drawback of countertrade is that it fails to enable firms to finance an export deal. it is detrimental to the economy of the importing country. developing nations have trouble raising the foreign exchange necessary to pay for imports. it does not allow firms to invest in an in-house trading department dedicated to arranging and managing deals. it may involve the exchange of poor-quality goods that cannot be disposed of profitably.
Answer: it may involve the exchange of poor-quality goods that cannot be disposed of profitably.
Explanation:
Countertrade is a form of trade that typically occurs in international trade when rather than exchanging goods or services for foreign exchange, the goods are being exchanged for another good. It is just like a bartee system.
It should be noted that a disadvantage of this is that it may involve the exchange of poor-quality goods that cannot be disposed of profitably. This is because when a particular country has a low quality good, the counter can use the opportunity to exchange the low quality goods with another country during the counter trade.
A stock is currently selling for $79 per share. A call option with an exercise price of $83 sells for $3.95 and expires in three months. If the risk-free rate of interest is 2.8 percent per year, compounded continuously, what is the price of a put option with the same exercise price? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer: $7.37
Explanation:
The price of a put option with the same exercise price would be calculated as:
C + Xe^-rt = P + S
It should be noted that in the formula above,
P = Put option price
C = price of call option
S = stock price
X = exercise price
r = interest rate
t = time
We then slot in the values which will be:
= 3.95 + 83e^-2.8% × 3/12 = P + 79
P = 3.95 + 83e^-2.8% × 3/12 - 79
P = 3.95 + 82.42 -79
= $7.37
Chancellor Ltd. sells an asset with a $1 million fair value to Sophie Inc. Sophie agrees to make six equal payments, each to be paid one year apart, commencing on the date of sale. The payments include principal and 6% annual interest. Compute the annual payments. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) $166,651. $203,351. $135,252. $191,852.
Answer:
$191,852
Explanation:
The computation of the annual payment is shown below
Given that
Loan Amount (P) = $1,000,000
Annual Interest Rate (r) = 6.00% per year
Loan Period (n) = 6 Years
Now
The Annual Lona Payment is
= [P × {r × (1 + r)^n}] ÷ (1 + r)^n - 1
= [$1,000,000 x {0.06 x (1 + 0.06)^5}] ÷ [(1 + 0.06)^6 - 1]
= $191,851.5363
= $191,852
Hence, the annual payment is $191,852

As the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) increases, the spending multiplier: Increases, decreases, stays the sameIf the marginal propensity to consume is 0.70, then, assuming there are no taxes or imports, the multiplier is: (Note: round to the nearest tenth)Given the multiplier that you calculated, what is the total impact on spending when there is a $1,000 increase in government spending?
Answer:
(a) As the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) increases, the spending multiplier Increases.
(b) Multiplier is 3.30.
(c) Total impact on spending is $3,300.
Explanation:
(a) As the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) increases, the spending multiplier: Increases, decreases, stays the same.
In economics, the higher the MPC, the higher the spending multiplier.
Therefore, as the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) increases, the spending multiplier Increases.
(b) If the marginal propensity to consume is 0.70, then, assuming there are no taxes or imports, the multiplier is: (Note: round to the nearest tenth).
This can be calculated as follows:
Multiplier = 1 / (1 - MPC) = 1 / (1 - 0.70) = 1 / 0.30 = 3.33333333333333
Rounding to the nearest tenth, we have:
Multiplier = 3.30
(c) Given the multiplier that you calculated, what is the total impact on spending when there is a $1,000 increase in government spending?
Total impact on spending = Increase in government spending * Multiplier = $1,000 * 3.30 = $3,300
The spending multiplier rises as the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) rises. 3.30 is the multiplier. The total financial impact is $3,300.
What is the total impact on spending?(a) The spending multiplier grows, declines, or remains constant when the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) increases.
The higher the MPC, the higher the spending multiplier in economics.
As a result, the spending multiplier rises as the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) rises.
(b) If the marginal propensity to consume is 0.70, the multiplier is: assuming no taxes or imports (Note: round to the nearest tenth).
Computation:
[tex]\text{Multiplier} = 1 / (1 - MPC) \\= 1 / (1 - 0.70) \\= 1 / 0.30 \\= 3.33333333333333[/tex]
If we round to the nearest tenth, we get: a 3.30 multiplier
(c) Given the multiplier you computed, what is the total impact on spending when government spending is increased by $1,000?
[tex]\text{Total impact on spending = Increase in government spending} \text{ x } \text{Multiplier}\\ = $1,000 \text { x } 3.30 = $3,300[/tex]

A project that cost $80000 with a useful life of 5 years is being considered. Straight-line depreciation is being used and salvage value is $5000. The project will generate annual revenues of $24350. The annual rate of return is:_______
a. 17%
b. 50.3%
c. 16%
d. 15%
Answer:
22%
Explanation:
Net income = Annual cash flow - Depreciation
Net income = 24350 - (80,000-5,000 / 5)
Net income = 24350 - 15,000
Net income = $9350
Average investment = Beg. value + End. Value / 2
Average investment = 80,000 + 5,000 / 2
Average investment = $42,500
Annual rate of return = Net income / Average investment * 100
Annual rate of return = $9350 / $42,500 * 100
Annual rate of return = 0.22 * 100
Annual rate of return = 22%
Answer:Annual Rate of Return =22%
The correct option is not given
Explanation:
Annual Rate of Return = Net Income / Average Investment x 100
Net Income= Annual Cash flow - Depreciation
Straight-line depreciation =Cost - salvage value / useful years
= 80,000 - 5,000 / 5
75,000/5= $15,000
Net Income=$24,350 - $15,000
=$9,350
Average Investment= Initial investment + salvage value / 2
$80,000 + 5000 / 2
= $85,000/ 2
$42,500
Annual Rate of Return =$9, 350/ $42,500 x 100
= 0.22 x100
=22%
In September 2008, the stock market fell sharply and continued to perform poorly due to the financial crisis. How did this change impact GDP in the economy?
Answer:
Many people's wealth is held in stocks and as the price of stocks collapsed, they lost wealth.
Imagine that this happened to you. One day you are rich and that affects your spending habits. In a matter of few days or weeks, you lose a large portion of your wealth. So now, you are less rich or even poor. So your spending habits will be altered, i.e. you will spend less.
If you consider the economy as a whole, aggregate demand will fall, resulting in a decrease of aggregate supply, and an overall decrease of the GDP.

Bank reserves are $200, the public holds $1000 in currency, and the reserve-deposit ratio is 20%. What is the Value of Bank Deposits? What is the Money Supply? Suppose that the Fed sells $50 worth of bonds in an "open market sale." Assuming that the public does not wish to change the amount of currency it holds, what is the new money supply after this open market purchase? Please enter your answers as numerical responses (ie. 100 or $100 not "One Hundred Dollars")
Answer:
What is the Value of Bank Deposits?
bank deposits = bank reserves / required reserve ratio = $200 / 20% = $1,000
What is the Money Supply?
money supply = bank deposits + currency held by the public = $1,000 + $1,00 = $2,000
Suppose that the Fed sells $50 worth of bonds in an "open market sale." Assuming that the public does not wish to change the amount of currency it holds, what is the new money supply after this open market purchase?
if the FED sells $50 worth of bonds, money supply will decrease by $50 x (1 / 20%) = $50 x 5 = $250
total money supply = $2,000 - $250 = $1,750
