Explanation:
A consumer has $180 in monthly income to spend on two goods, D and G, where D is on the y-axis. The price of good D, PD is $6, and the marginal rate of transformation is -2. How many units of good G can be purchased if all income is used to purchase good G
Answer:
The number of units of good G that can be purchased if all income is used to purchase good G is 15 units.
Explanation:
Since D is on the y-axis, indicating G is on the x-axis, the formula for calculating the marginal rate of transformation (MRT) is given as follows:
MRT = - PG / PD …………………. (1)
Where:
MRT = Marginal rate of transformation = -2
PG = Price of good G = ?
PD = Price of good D = $6
Substituting the relevant values into equation (1) and solve for PG, we have:
-2 = - PG / $6
PG = -2 * (-6) = $12
Therefore, we have:
Number units of good G if all income is spent on it = Monthly income / PG = $180 / $12 = 15
Therefore, the number of units of good G that can be purchased if all income is used to purchase good G is 15 units.
Salge Inc. bases its manufacturing overhead budget on budgeted direct labor-hours. The variable overhead rate is $8.10 per direct labor-hour. The company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $74,730 per month, which includes depreciation of $20,670. All other fixed manufacturing overhead costs represent current cash flows. The direct labor budget indicates that 5,300 direct labor-hours will be required in September. The company recomputes its predetermined overhead rate every month. The pre-determined overhead rate for September should be:___.
a. $18.30.
b. $14.10.
c. $8.10.
d. $22.20.
Answer:
d. $22.20
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what the pre-determined overhead rate for September should be:
Using this formula
Predetermined overhead rate = Variable overhead rate per direct labor hour + Estimated fixed manufacturing overhead/Estimated direct labor hour
Let plug in the formula
Predetermined overhead rate=$8.10 + ($74,730/5,300)
Predetermined overhead rate= $8.10+$14.1
Predetermined overhead rate= $22.20 per direct
Therefore the pre-determined overhead rate for September should be:$22,20
Suppose you have $100 of endowment, and you are offered a chance to buy a lottery which costs $36. The lottery has 43% of chance to win a prize of $G, or you just lose and get nothing. Suppose your utility function on wealth is u(w)=w^1/2. What is the least prize size G that you will be willing to buy the lottery? (Round to the second digit after decimal point.)
Answer:
96.02
Explanation:
Lottery's Expected utility = [tex]\sqrt{100}[/tex] = 10
Income in good state = 100 - 36 + G = 64 + G
Income in bad state = 100 - 36 = 64
Probability in good state = 43%
Probability in bad state = 100% - 43% = 57%
Expected utility = Probability in good state x [tex]\sqrt{(64 + G )}[/tex] + Probability in bad state x [tex]\sqrt{64\\}[/tex]
10 = 43% x [tex]\sqrt{(64 + G )}[/tex] + 57% x 8
10 = 43% x [tex]\sqrt{(64 + G )}[/tex] + 4.56
10 - 4.56 = 43% x [tex]\sqrt{(64 + G )}[/tex]
5.44 = = 43% x [tex]\sqrt{(64 + G )}[/tex]
5.44 / 43% = [tex]\sqrt{(64 + G )}[/tex]
12.65 = [tex]\sqrt{(64 + G )}[/tex]
[tex]12.65^{2}[/tex] = [tex](\sqrt{(64 + G )})^{2}[/tex]
160.0225 = 64 + G
G = 160.0225 - 64
G = 96.0225
G = 96.02

The difference between a low-cost provider strategy and a focused low-cost strategy is Multiple choice question. the company's willingness to accept a lower profit margin. the uniqueness of the product or service. the size of the company's targeted buyer group. the length of the value chain.
Answer:
the size of the company's targeted buyer group.
Explanation:
Low cost strategies are used by sellers to gain more patronage of their products. It gives them competitive advantage of having low prices and this will in turn increase sales.
The low-cost provider strategy involves a reduction in prices of all the products a company sells in all locations while still making a profut. An appeal is made to a broad market to attract customers in mass.
The focused low-cost strategy on the other hand involves cost reduction in a targeted niche. It does not appeal to the broad market but rather to a specific customer profile.
So the difference between these two strategies is the size of the company's targeted buyer group.

Hi guys, I need your help to give your opinions about this one.
Example:
The experts on your island warn of a possible tsunami, but opinions are divided.
a. A quarter of the experts (group A) assume that a tsunami will certainly come.
b. Three quarters of the experts (group B) assume that the tsunami will come with a 10 percent probability.
Which professionals (group A or group B) would you like to believe more and why? Give reasons for your answer. And what are the consequences of this decision for your actions? And how do you deal with the risks of a wrong decision?
I would believe group A more
because, as we know "Precaution is always better an cure"
If I stay more cautious about it, there are less chances of the tsunami to cause a severe harm. If I don't stay much cautious, according to group B, and in case if their prediction goes wrong, I'll be in serious danger.
I chose group A because
even if the tsunami ain't powerful enough, I would be glad I was careful enough for it and it'll help me in future if I face another situation like this again
The consequences if I chose group B would be :
well, if I would have chose B, I won't have taken any Precautions at all
I won't have been careful enough
and in case their prediction went wrong, I would have to suffer high losses.
I hope it helps.... Have a great time ahead!
E-Eyes has a new issue of preferred stock it calls 20/20 preferred. The stock will pay a $20 dividend per year, but the first dividend will not be paid until 20 years from today. If you require a return of 9.75 percent on this stock, how much should you pay today
Answer:
You would pay approximately $35.00 today
Explanation:
The cost of the stock at the beginning of the year 20
= 20/9.75%
= 20/0.0975
= 205.13 dollars
We find the current price of the stock
= Fv/(1+r)^n
= 205.13/(1+9.75%)¹⁹
= 205.13/1.0975¹⁹
= 205.13/5.86
= $35.00
From this calculation you have to pay 35 Dollars today.
Consider the telecommunications, networking, and wireless technologies you use today as a consumer and student. Does your comfort level with changes in these technologies in your personal life influence how comfortable you would be with adapting to new technologies in the workplace? Why or why not?
Answer:
Yes, people´s comfort level with changes in technology in their personal lives has a great influence over how comfortable they can be with adapting to new technologies in the workplace.
Explanation:
Telecommunications, networking, and wireless technologies are used regularly by most students, as those who are in studying years have grown with those technologies already developed. However, the rapid changes in technology that are common these days can become quite overwhelming, as they require users to constantly readapt to them. For example, our use of email has changed so much in the past years, with so many new lines of communication and new softwares that one has to learn how to use. And the more we get used to readapting, the more comfortable we can be when those changes become part of the workplace. It´s important to be prepared and to have the proper training to ensure the effective use of technology in such a fast-paced technological era.
a T-bill money market fund that yields a sure rate of 4.6%. The probability distributions of the risky funds are: Expected Return Standard Deviation Stock fund (S)166%Bond fund (B)70%The correlation between the fund returns is 0.0800. What is the Sharpe ratio of the best feasible CAL
Answer:
The Sharpe ratio of the best feasible CAL is 0.3167.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete as some data are omitted. The complete qustion is therefore provided before answering the question. See attached pdf file for the complete question.
Risk-free rate = Sure rate of the T-bill money market fund = 4.6%, or 0.046
Sharpe ratio of a fund = (Expected return - Risk-free rate) / Standard Deviation …………. (1)
Using equation (1), we have:
Sharpe ratio of Stock fund = (16% - 4.6%) / 36% = 0.3167
Sharpe ratio of Bond fund = (7% - 4.6%) / 30% = 0.08
Since Sharpe Ratio of Stock Fund (S) is higher than Sharpe Ratio of Bond Fund (B), this implies that the best option is to invest in Stock Fund (S).
Therefore, the Sharpe ratio of the best feasible CAL is 0.3167.
Consider single-server Q with LIFO (last-infirst-out) services. Suppose that three customers show up at times 5, 6, and 8, and that they all have service times of 4. When does customer 2 leave the system?
a. 3
b. 9
c. 13
d. 17
e. 19a
Answer:
d. 17
Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
Here the time started i.e. t=0
Therefore there was no customer upto t=5 hour
At t=5
The client first came and as there was no other customer available so we begins service to customer 1
Now
As service off is 4 hour so service to client 1 will end at
t=9 hour.
Also mid-time at t = 6
That means the client 2 came and at t = 8 the client 3 came.
Now at t = 9 the service begins for client 3 and end at t = 13 ( 9 + 4)
At t=13 hour, so after four hours it should be 17

1a. Assume the company uses absorption costing. Determine its product cost per unit.
1b. Assume the company uses absorption costing. Prepare its income statement for the year under absorption costing.
2a. Assume the company uses variable costing. Determine its product cost per unit.
2b.
Assume the company uses variable costing. Prepare its income statement for the year under variable costing.
Answer:
1a. Product cost per unit if absorption costing is used by the company is $82 per unit.
1b. Net operating income if absorption costing is used by the company is $774,000.
2a. Product cost per unit if variable costing is used by the company is $72 per unit.
2b. Net operating income if variable costing is used by the company is $694,000.
Explanation:
1a. Assume the company uses absorption costing. Determine its product cost per unit.
Fixed overhead per unit = Fixed overhead for the year / Units produce for the year = $420,000 / $42,000 = $10
Product cost per unit = Direct materials per unit + Direct labor per unit + Variable overhead per unit + Fixed overhead per unit = $48 + $18 + $6 + $10 = $82
Therefore, product cost per unit if absorption costing is used by the company is $82 per unit.
1b. Assume the company uses absorption costing. Prepare its income statement for the year under absorption costing.
Note: See number 1b of the attached excel file for the income statement for the year under absorption costing.
From number 1b of the attached excel file, we have:
Net operating income = $774,000
Therefore, net operating income if absorption costing is used by the company is $774,000.
2a. Assume the company uses variable costing. Determine its product cost per unit.
Product cost per unit = Direct materials per unit + Direct labor per unit + Variable overhead per unit = $48 + $18 + $6 = $72
Therefore, product cost per unit if variable costing is used by the company is $72 per unit.
2b. Assume the company uses variable costing. Prepare its income statement for the year under variable costing.
Note: See number 2b of the attached excel file for the income statement for the year under variable costing.
From number 2b of the attached excel file, we have:
Net operating income = $694,000
Therefore, net operating income if variable costing is used by the company is $694,000.
Pharoah Industries collected $106,000 from customers in 2019. Of the amount collected, $24,200 was for services performed in 2018. In addition, Pharoah performed services worth $39,400 in 2019, which will not be collected until 2020. Pharoah Industries also paid $72,800 for expenses in 2019. Of the amount paid, $29,100 was for expenses incurred on account in 2018. In addition, Pharoah incurred $41,500 of expenses in 2019, which will not be paid until 2020.
Required:
a. Compute 2018 cash-basis net income.
b. Compute 2018 accrual-basis net income.
Answer:
A. $33,200
B. $35,000
Explanation:
A. Computation for 2018 cash-basis net income
2018 cash-basis net income = $106,000 - $73,800
2018 cash-basis net income= $33,200
Therefore 2018 cash-basis net income is $33,200
(b) Computation for 2018 accrual-basis net income
2018 accrual-basis net income = ($106,000 - $24,200 + $39,400) - ( $73,800 - $29,100 + $41,500))
2018 accrual-basis net income= $121,200 - $86,200
2018 accrual-basis net income= $35,000
Therefore 2018 accrual-basis net income is $35,000

You company requires that all projects yield a return of 12%. You’re the head of a project team developing a new product. The initial investment needed is $500,000 and the expected cashflows from this project will be 70,000 for the next 10 years. Will your project be approved, (generates a return higher than 12%). What cashflow would be required to get your project approved?
Answer:
initial investment = $500,000
10 cash flows of $70,000
Present value of cash flows = 5.65022 * $70,000 = $395,515.40
NPV = -$500,000 + $395,515.40 = -$104,484.60
The project should be rejected.
In order to approve the project, the cash flows should = $500,000 / 5.65022 = $88,492.13. With these cash flows the NPV = $0.

At this price and quantity, both consumers and suppliers of butter in the wholesale market go home satisfied.
You consider buying a share of stock at a price of $12. The stock is expected to pay a dividend of $1.60 next year, and your advisory service tells you that you can expect to sell the stock in 1 year for $14. The stock's beta is 1.2, rf is 15%, and E[rm] = 25%. What is the stock's abnormal return?
Answer:
3%
Explanation:
The computation of the abnormal return of the stock is shown below:
= Rf + Beta (Rm - Rf)
= 15% + 1.2 (25% - 15%)
= 15% + 12%
= 27%
Now actual return is
=[ $1.60 + ($14 - $12)] ÷ $12
= 0.3
= 30%
ANd, finally the abnormal return is
= 30% - 27%
= 3%
What is the initial selling price needed to obtain a target profit of $50,000 using the manufacturing cost markup method
Answer:
$15 per unit
Explanation:
Note "The full question is attached as picture below"
Markup = (Fixed Costs + Desired Profit) / Units produced
Markup = ($300,000 + $150,000 + $50,000) / 50,000
Markup = $500,000 / 50,000 units
Markup = $10 per unit
Variable cost per unit = Variable cost / Quantity
Variable cost per unit = ($200,000 + $50,000) / 50,000
Variable cost per unit = $5 per unit
Sales price = Variable cost + Markup
Sales price = $5 per unit + $10 per unit
Sales price = $15 per unit
So, the initial selling price needed to obtain a target profit of $50,000 using the manufacturing cost markup method is $15 per unit.
Consider the following stock price and shares outstanding data: Stock Name Price per Share Shares Outstanding (Billion) Lowes $28.80 1.53 Wal-Mart $47.90 4.17 Intel $19.60 5.77 Boeing $75.00 0.79 If you are interested in creatinga value-weighted portfolio of these four stocks, then the percentage amount that you would invest in Lowes is closest to: A) 25% B) 11% C) 20.0% D) 12% E) 8%
Answer:
B) 11%
Explanation:
We need to determine the total amount to invest in all the stocks in the first place as computed below:
Lowes= $28.80*1.53=$44.06
Wal-Mart=$47.90*4.17=$199.74
Intel=$19.60*5.77 =$113.09
Boeing=$75.00*0.79=$59.25
Total amount invested in the portfolio=$44.06+$199.74+$113.09+$59.25
Total amount invested in the portfolio=$416.14
Lowes' portion of the portfolio=amount invested in Lowes/total portfolio amount
Lowes' portion of the portfolio=$44.06/$416.14
Lowes' portion of the portfolio=11%
Consuela is a business analyst for her company. She is working from home and on a video conference with several other team members. Her video conferencing client displays a message indicating that the quality of her connection is unstable. What is the most likely problem
Answer: c) Latency between her VPN client removing encryption and making it available to the video-conferencing client is causing poor performance.
Explanation:
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is used to protect the identity of people online as it encrypts a person's data and uses different servers to allow them browse the web and with a different IP address from the user's original IP address that way it appears as though the user is somewhere else in the world than they actually are.
In doing this however, VPNs might give slow speeds due to the latency that develops as the VPN encrypts and decrypts data for use. In this case, the VPN latency in decrypting the video call for Consuela to see it is slowing down the speed of the Video conferencing client.

How do different careers in the human services relate to one another
It has been argued that the traditional model of a full-service, lead advertising agency is becoming obsolete. Discuss the changes occurring in the industry and how they are affecting the traditional lead agency model.
Answer:
It can be argued that the traditional leading full-service advertising agency model is becoming obsolete by the emergence of new technologies and communication tools such as social media. The relationship between company and consumer is no longer something more mechanized and distant to become more direct and personal, this was made possible by the very characteristics of social media, which are fast and integrative communication tools, which humanized and brought companies closer to consumers, making relationship marketing a great advantage in the quest for value creation and market positioning.
Therefore, after companies have immersed themselves in social media, communication is faster and more instantaneous, in addition to being cheaper, it does not require so much elaborate advertising effort, but content that engages its potential audience, generates value and focuses on building relationships . So advertising is really just a construction of the real connections that consumers want to have with the company, its values, objectives and mission.
Burnham Brothers, Inc. has no retained earnings since it has always paid out all of its earnings as dividends This same situation is expected to persist in the future. The company uses CAPM to calculate its cost of equity and its target capital structure consists of common stock, preferred stock, and debt. Which of the following events would reduce its WACC?
a. The flotation costs associated with issuing new common stock increase.
b. The company's beta increases.
c. Expected inflation increases.
d. The market risk premium declines.
Answer: d. The market risk premium declines.
Explanation:
The Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) takes into account the cost of equity and debt which means that if either of these costs increase, the WACC will increase as well and if any decrease, WACC will follow suit.
Market risk premium is used in the calculation of the cost of equity when using CAPM in the following manner:
= Risk free rate + Beta * Market risk premium
As can be inferred from the above formula, if the market risk premium declines, a lower cost of equity will result which would then reduce the WACC as well.
Assuming that periodic inventory records are kept, the ending inventory on a LIFO basis is Group of answer choices $16,440. $17,160. $17,880. $16,640. None of these answer choices are correct.
Answer:
$16,440.
Explanation:
Please find attached the data used in answering this question
LIFO means last in first out. It means that it is the last purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.
the ending inventory would consist of earlier purchased goods
total sales is 20800
total purchases = 26,000
ending inventory = 26,000 - 20800 = 5200
this price of the ending inventory = 3200 x 3.2) + (2000 x 3.1) = $16,440.
Elliott Credit Corp. wants to earn an effective annual return on its consumer loans of 15.7 percent per year. The bank uses daily compounding on its loans. What interest rate is the bank required by law to report to potential borrowers
Answer:
the rate of interest needed to report to the potential borrower is 14.59%
Explanation:
The computation of the rate of interest needed to report to the potential borrower is given below:
= ((1 + rate of interest per year)^(1 ÷ number of days in a year) - 1) × number of days in a year
= ((1 + 15.7%)^(1 ÷ 365) -1) × 365
= 14.59%
hence, the rate of interest needed to report to the potential borrower is 14.59%
