Answer:
market forces would shift upwards or downwards
Explanation:
during a situation of high demand, supply would shift to the right in order to achieve more sales or in a situation of high supply the demand can be shifted to the right by decreasing prices. At low supply demand can be shifted leftwards by increasing prices and when demand is lower, supply falls due to lower sales
Market factors would change to the upside or downside would act to return the market to state of equilibrium at the new equilibrium position.
What do you mean by equilibrium?When economic forces are in balance, there is said to be an economic equilibrium. In the absence of outside influences, economic variables essentially hold true to their equilibrium levels. Market equilibrium and economic equilibrium are two different concepts.
The set of economic factors that the economy is normally driven toward by supply and demand and other conventional economic processes is known as economic equilibrium.
The concept of economic equilibrium can also be used to describe a wide range of elements, including interest rates or overall consumer spending.
The point of equilibrium denotes a theoretical state of rest where all economic activities that "should" occur have actually happened, given the initial conditions of all significant economic variables.
Economists who think of economic processes as akin to physical phenomena like velocity, friction, heat, or fluid pressure draw the notion of equilibrium from the physical sciences. Nothing else changes once a system's physical forces are in equilibrium.

Answer:
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.
Bramble Company reports the following operating results for the month of August: sales $325,000 (units 5,000); variable costs $212,000; and fixed costs $70,400. Management is considering the following independent courses of action to increase net income. Compute the net income to be earned under each alternative. 1.

Net income $ Which course of action will produce the highe
Answer
See below
Explanation:
Given the above information,
1. Increase selling price by 10% with no change in total variable costs or variable cost
Net income = Sales - Variable cost - Fixed cost -
10% increase in selling price = $325,000 × 10% = $357,500
Net profit = $357,500 - $212,000 - $70,400
Net profit = $75,100
2. Reduce variable costs to 60% of sales
Variable costs = $325,000 × 60% = $195,000
Net profit = Sales - Variable costs - Fixed costs
Net profit = $325,000 - $195,000 - $70,400
Net profit = $59,600
3. Reduce fixed costs by $18,000
Net profit = Sales - Variable costs - Fixed costs
Net profit = $325,000 - $212,000 - $18,000
Net profit = $95,000

Controllers $29.75
Fixed manufacturing overhead cost (total) $760,000
Variable selling and administrative expenses per unit:
Sprinklers $1.30
Valves $0.50
Controllers $3.41
Fixed selling and administrative expenses (total) $1,600,000
A) Determine the sales mix based on unit sales for each product.
B) Using the annual expected sales for these products, determine the weighted-average unit contribution margin for these three products.
C) Assuming the sales mix remains the same, what is the break-even point in units for these products?
Answer:
A.
Sales Mix is 23 : 74 : 3
B.
$567.17
C.
sprinklers = 95,726 units
valves = 303,826 units
controllers = 12,486 units
Explanation:
the sales mix based on unit sales for each product
sprinklers = 460,000 units
valves = 1,480,000 units
controllers = 60,000 units
this can then be expressed as :
460,000 : 1,480,000 : 60,000
expressed in lowest terms as :
23 : 74 : 3
the weighted-average unit contribution margin for these three products.
weighted-average unit contribution margin is the sum of contribution per units with the mix applied to each contribution margin.
unit contribution margin are
sprinklers = $12.54
valves = $3.25
controllers = $12.75
weighted-average unit contribution margin = $12.54 x 23 + $3.25 x 74 + $12.75 x 3 = $567.17
the break-even point in units for these products
break-even point in units = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit
= ($760,000 + $1,600,000) ÷ $567.17
= 4,162 units
Multiplying this with each mix we have :
sprinklers = 95,726 units
valves = 303,826 units
controllers = 12,486 units
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
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 $0.
Hurte-Paroxysm Products, Inc. (HP) of the United States exports computer printers to Brazil, whose currency, the reals (symbol R$) havebeen trading at R$3.40/US$. Exports to Brazil are currently 50,000 printers per year at the reals equivalent of $200 each. A strong rumor exists that the reals will be devalued to R$4.00/$ within two weeks by the Brazilian government. Should the devaluation take place, the exchange rate isexpected to remain unchanged for the foreseeable future. Based on this forecast, HP Products may either (1) maintain the same realprice and sell for fewer dollars, in which case Brazilian volume will not change, or (2) maintain the same dollar price, raise the realprice in Brazil to compensate for the devaluation, and experience a 20% drop in volume. Direct costs in the U.S. are 60% of the U.S. sales price.
Required:
a. What would be the short-run (one-year) impact of each pricing strategy?
b. Which do you recommend?
If HP maintains the same real price and same unit volume, what will be the firm's gross profits?
Answer:
Hurte-Paroxysm Products, Inc. (HP)
The short-run impact of each pricing strategy is as follows:
Alternative 1 Alternative 2
Reduce Price to $170 Maintain Price of $200
Gross profit $2,500,000 $3,200,000
Reduction in Gross Profit $1,500,000 $800,000
b. (2) maintain the same dollar price of $200, raise the real price in Brazil (to R$800 from R$680)to compensate for the devaluation, and experience a 20% drop in volume.
c. If HP maintains the same real price and same unit volume, the firm's gross profits will be $2,500,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Exchange rate = R$3.40/US$
Current exports of printers per year to Brazil = 50,000
US unit price of printer in dollars = $200
Brazil unit price of printer in R$ equivalent = R$680 ($200 * R$3.40)
Unit price of printer in R$ when reals is devalued = R$800 ($200 * R$4.00)
The reduced dollar price with devaluation, when real price is maintained = $170 (R$680/R$4.00)
Before Devaluation of Brazil's Real (R$):
Sales volume 50,000
Sales revenue $10,000,000 (50,000 * $200)
Direct costs 6,000,000 (50,000 * $120)
Gross profit $4,000,000
Alternative 1 Alternative 2
Reduce Price to $170 Maintain Price at $200
Sales volume 50,000 40,000 (50,000 * 80%)
Sales revenue $8,500,000 $8,000,000 ($200 * 40,000)
Direct costs 6,000,000 4,800,000 ($120 * 40,000)
Gross profit $2,500,000 $3,200,000 ($80 * 40,000)
Direct costs = $6m ($120 * 50,000) = $4.8m ($120 * 40,000)

You've observed the following returns on Crash-n-Burn Computer's stock over the past five years: 10 percent, -10 percent, 17 percent, 22 percent, and 10 percent. Suppose the average inflation rate over this period was 1.5 percent and the average T-bill rate over the period was 3 percent.
a. What was the average real return on Crash-n-Burn's stock?
b. What was the average nominal risk premium on Crash-n-Burn's stock?
Answer:
Crash-n-Burn Computers
a. The average real return on Crash-n-Burn's stock is:
= 8.3%
b. The average nominal risk premium on Crash-n-Burn's stock is:
= 6.8%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Average inflation rate = 1.5%
Average T-bill rate = 3%
Returns on stock:
Year 1 = 10%
Year 2 = -10%
Year 3 = 17%
Year 4 = 22%
Year 5 = 10%
Total returns = 49%
Average returns = Total returns/number of years
= 9.8% (49%/5)
Average real returns
= Average returns on the stock minus the inflation rate
= 8.3% (9.8% - 1.5%)
Average nominal risk premium = return on the stock minus the return on the T-bill
= 9.8% - 3%
= 6.8%
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
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

The market consensus is that Analog Electronic Corporation has an ROE of 9% and a beta of 1.70. It plans to maintain indefinitely its traditional plowback ratio of 2/3. This year's earnings were $3.6 per share. The annual dividend was just paid. The consensus estimate of the coming year's market return is 15%, and T-bills currently offer a 5% return. a. Find the price at which Analog stock should sell. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
$7.95
Explanation:
The computation of the price at which the stock should sell is shown below;
But before we need to determine the following calculations
Sustainable growth rate, g is
= ROE × b
= 9% × (2 ÷3)
= 6%
Now
Cost of Equity = Rf + beta × (Rm - Rf)
= 5% + 1.70 ×(15% - 5%)
= 22%
Now finally the Price is
= D1 ÷ (r - g)
= $3.6 × 1 ÷ 3 × (1 + 6%) ÷ (22% - 6%)
= $7.95
The market consensus is that Analog Electronic Corporation has an ROE of 9% and a beta of 1.65. It plans to maintain indefinitely its traditional plowback ratio of 2/3. This year's earnings were $2.8 per share. The annual dividend was just paid. The consensus estimate of the coming year's market return is 14%, and T-bills currently offer a 6% return. a. Find the price at which Analog stock should sell. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. Calculate the P/E ratio.
Answer:
a.
P0 = $7.49494949492 rounded off to $7.49
b.
P/E ratio = 2.67676767676 times rounded off to 2.68 times
Explanation:
a.
The constant growth model of dividend discount model (DDM) can be used to calculate the price of the stock today. DDM calculates the price of a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under constant growth DDM is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)
Where,
D0 * (1+g) is the dividend expected in Year 1 or next year g is the constant growth rate in dividends r is the discount rate or required rate of returnWe first need to calculate the values for D0, g and r.
D0 can be calculate by multiplying the earnings per share by (1 - Plowback Ratio)
D0 = 2.8 * (1 - 2/3)
D0 = $0.93333333333 rounded off to $0.93
To calculate the value of g, we need to multiply the ROE by the Plowback ratio.
g = 0.09 * 2/3
g = 0.06 or 6%
To calculate the value of r, we will use the CAPM equation.
r = risk free rate + Beta * (Market return - risk free rate)
r = 0.06 + 1.65 * (0.14 - 0.06)
r = 0.192 or 19.2%
P0 = 0.93333333333 * (1+0.06) / (0.192 - 0.06)
P0 = $7.49494949492 rounded off to $7.49
b.
The P/E ratio can be calculated by dividing the price per share by the earnings per share.
P/E = 7.49494949492 / 2.8
P/E ratio = 2.67676767676 times rounded off to 2.68

Part 2
Inventory = $31,250
revenues = $163,750
expenses = $93,750
gross profit = $70,000
Explanation:
inventory = Purchases - Cost of sales
= $125,000 - $93,750
= $31,250
revenues = Sales to Customers paid up or not
= $163,750
expenses = Cost of sales
= $93,750
gross profit = Sales - Cost of sales
= $163,750 - $93,750
= $70,000

Cost of Building = $4,626,960
Explanation:
Note: "The options attached to the question are incorrect because its belongs to another question entirely and this can be seen as attached as picture below"
1. Cost of Land = Purchase Value + Cost Incurred to Tear Down two Buildings - Salvage + Legal Fees + Title Insurance Cost + Assessment Cost
Cost of Land = $1345000 + $116000 - $8100 + $5500 + $3900 + $9500
Cost of Land = $1,471,800
2. Cost of Building = Architect's Fees + Liability Insurance Cost + Excavation Cost + Contractor's Payment + Interest Cost
Cost of Building = $46900 + $4200 + $15860 + $4300000 + 260000
Cost of Building = $4,626,960

For each of the three independent situations below determine the amount of the annual lease payments. Each describes a finance lease in which annual lease payments are payable at the beginning of each year. Each lease agreement contains an option that permits the lessee to acquire the leased asset at an option price that is sufficiently lower than the expected fair value that the exercise of the option appears reasonably certain.
Situation 1 Situation 2 Situation 3
Lease term (years) 5 10 4
Lessor?s rate of return 10% 11% 9%
Fair value of leased asset $62,000 $421,000 $186,000
Lessor?s cost of leased asset $51,000 $421,000 $146,000
Bargain purchase option:
Option price $11,000 $51,000 $23,000
Exercisable at end of the year: 5 5 3
Required:
Determine the annual lease payments for each situation:
Answer:
a. The annual lease payment for Situation 1 is $12,774.47.
b. The annual lease payment for Situation 2 is $71,486.40.
c. The annual lease payment for Situation 3 is $57,412.37.
Explanation:
The annual lease payments can be calculated using the formula for calculating loan amortization as follows:
P = (A * (r * (1 + r)^n)) / (((1+r)^n) - 1) .................................... (1)
Where,
For Situation 1
P = Annual lease payments = ?
A = Fair value of leased asset = $62,000
r = interest rate = Lessor’s rate of return = 10%, or 0.01
n = Number of years of lease term = 5
Substituting all the figures into equation (1), we have:
P = ($62,000 * (0.01 * (1 + 0.01)^5)) / (((1+0.01)^5) - 1)
P = $12,774.47
Therefore, the annual lease payment for Situation 1 is $12,774.47.
For Situation 2
P = Annual lease payments = ?
A = Fair value of leased asset = $421,000
r = interest rate = Lessor’s rate of return = 11%, or 0.11
n = Number of years of lease term = 10
Substituting all the figures into equation (1), we have:
P = ($421,000 * (0.11 * (1 + 0.11)^10)) / (((1 + 0.11)^10) - 1)
P = $71,486.40
Therefore, the annual lease payment for Situation 2 is $71,486.40.
For Situation 3
P = Annual lease payments = ?
A = Fair value of leased asset = $186,000
r = interest rate = Lessor’s rate of return = 9%, or 0.09
n = Number of years of lease term = 4
Substituting all the figures into equation (1), we have:
P = ($186,000 * (0.09 * (1 + 0.09)^4)) / (((1 + 0.09)^4) - 1)
P = $57,412.37
Therefore, the annual lease payment for Situation 3 is $57,412.37.
The FOMC is presented with data and analysis showing that the output gap has gone from nearly 0 to large and negative. Additionally, inflation is 1.2% instead of the target rate, 2%. a. Using the floor framework, the FOMC is likely to influence interest rates by the interest rate it pays on excess reserves and its overnight borrowing from financial institutions. b. Additionally, the FOMC is likely the discount rate.
Answer:
A. decreasing
B. decrease
Using the floor framework, the FOMC is likely to influence interest rates by the interest rate it pays on excess reserves and decreasing its overnight borrowing from financial institutions. Additionally, the FOMC is likely decreasing the discount rate.
What is FOMC?The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System is in control of the discount rate and reserve requirements, while the Federal Open Market Committee is in charge of carrying out open market activities.
The FOMC is in charge of setting interest rate targets and controlling the money supply. The Fed has historically been motivated by two objectives: first, to maintain stable prices; and second, to achieve full employment.
When the Federal Open Market Committee raises interest rates, the economy and stock markets are impacted because borrowing costs for households and businesses might go up or down.
Thus, the answers are written above.

Perdue Company purchased equipment on April 1 for $43,470. The equipment was expected to have a useful life of three years, or 6,480 operating hours, and a residual value of $1,350. The equipment was used for 1,200 hours during Year 1, 2,300 hours in Year 2, 1,900 hours in Year 3, and 1,080 hours in Year 4.
Required:
Determine the amount of depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, and Year 4, by (a) the straight-line method, (b) units-of-output method, and (c) the double-declining-balance method.
Note: FOR DECLINING BALANCE ONLY, round the multiplier to four decimal places. Then round the answer for each year to the nearest whole dollar.
Answer:
a. Straight-line method.
Year Depreciation expense ($)
1 10,530
2 14,040
3 14,040
4 3,510
b. Units-of-production method.
Year Depreciation expense ($)
1 7,800

c. Double-declining balance method
Year Depreciation expense ($)
1 21,735
2 14,490
3 4,830
4 1,065
Explanation:
(a) the straight-line method
Note: See part a of the attached excel file for the depreciation schedule for Straight-line method.
In the attached excel file, the depreciation rate used for the Straight-line method is calculated as follows:
Straight line depreciation rate = 1 / Estimated useful life = 1 / 3 = 0.3333, or 33.33%
(b) units-of-output method
Note: See part b of the attached excel file for the depreciation schedule for units-of-production method.
(c) the double-declining-balance method.
Note: See part c of the attached excel file for the depreciation schedule for double-declining-balance method.
In the attached excel file, the depreciation rate used for the Double- declining-balance method is calculated as follows:
Double-declining depreciation rate = Straight line depreciation rate * 2 = (1/3) * 2 = 0.666667, or 66.6667%
Note:
Under this double-declining-balance method, the depreciation expenses for Year 4 is calculated by deducting the residual value of $1,350 from the Year 4 Beginning depreciable amount (i.e. $2,415 - $1,350 = $1,065). The residual value of $1,350 therefore represents the book value at the end of Year 4.

A synchronous decrease in energy prices and an increase in government spending will result in:
A) increases in output and a decrease in the price level in the long run.
B) Increase in short run aggregate supply and in aggregate demand
C) Increase in long run aggregate supply and a rightward shift in aggregate demand
D) A leftward shift in short run aggregated supply
E) Decrease aggregate demand and increase short run aggregate supply
Answer:
B) Increase in short run aggregate supply and in aggregate demand
Explanation:
In the case when there is a rise in the government spending so it would be increases aggregate demand. As AD curve shifts to the rightward, that rise the level of the price and increase in GDP.
On the other hand, if there is a decreasing in energy prices so it decreased the production cost, which rise aggregate supply. As AS curve shifts rightward, due to this it decrease the price level and increase the GDP.
So, The net impact is a definite increase in GDP, but the impact on price level is non-certain. As price level of the short run is non-certain, so we are not able to predict long run impacts.
A synchronous decrease in energy prices and an increase in government spending will result in "increases in output and a decrease in the price level in the long run". The correct option is A.
A synchronous decrease in energy prices reduces production costs for businesses which is leading to an increase in short-run aggregate supply.
At the same time, an increase in government spending stimulates economic activity and boosts aggregate demand. As a result, both short-run aggregate supply and aggregate demand increase.
In the short run, this combination of factors can lead to an expansion in output and potentially a decrease in the price level due to the downward pressure on production costs.
Therefore, the correct option is A.
