Answer and Explanation:

Insider trading compromises the integrity of the market because insider investors have non-public information about the stocks of the company that could very much impact the value of the stock of the company. In other words, an insider knows what the public doesn't know about a company and it allows him an unfair advantage to trade the stocks of the company using this information and make large unusual profit. This could lead to market collapse as investors are no longer encouraged to invest seeing that they can't trust that the market is transparent and trustworthy(they don't have all the important information that would affect the company)

Answer:

a. Government - highly  Inelastic

b. producers - Somewhat elastic

c. consumers and producers -   Highly elastic  

d. consumers - Highly elastic

Inelastic demand is that which does not changes with the change in the price of any product.

Government oriented demand remains constant irrespective of pricing and hence it is highly inelastic while in case of producers and consumers, the demand may vary depending on the substitute availability in the market

Answer: producer - highly elastic

Consumers and producers - somewhat elastic
Consumers - highly inelastic

government- none

When approaching a multiple-choice question, it's essential to first eliminate answer choices that are obviously incorrect or "silly." Hence th statement is true .

Doing so will increase your chances of selecting the correct answer from the remaining options.

To begin, carefully read the question stem and identify any clues or keywords that might help you narrow down the possible answers. Then, review each answer choice and eliminate any that are blatantly wrong, based on your knowledge of the subject matter or common sense.

For example, if you are taking a math test and the question asks you to solve for x in the equation 2x + 5 = 13, you can quickly eliminate answer choices such as -5 or 50, which are clearly impossible solutions.

It's important to note that eliminating "silly" answer choices is just the first step in the process of solving a multiple-choice question. After you've narrowed down the possibilities, you'll need to carefully consider each remaining option and choose the one that best fits the question stem.

Answer:

The answer is B.

Explanation:

The correct option is B. - federal withholding income tax.

Pension liability is the amount of money that a company or government at any level(federal or state) has to account for in order to make future pension payments. It is a future payment that a company or government is obligated to pay its retired employees.

They take into considerations:

1. Their employees turnover

2. Their employees life expectancy

3. Their employees compensation level.

Federal tax level is not the issue because the payment is futuristic and federal tax can change.

Explanation:

The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).

Unitary production variable cost= 60 + 40 + 10

Unitary production variable cost= $110

Now, the income statement:

Sales= 300*8,400= 2,520,000

Total variable cost= 8,400*(110 + 30)= (1,176,000)

Total contribution margin= 1,344,000

Fixed manufacturing overhead= (180,000)

Fixed selling and administrative= (780,000)

Net operating income= $384,000

Finally, the break-even point in units:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units=  960,000 / (300 - 140)

Break-even point in units= 6,000

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information;

The required probability needed to carry out is P(32000<X<42000);

Given that:

mean [tex]\mu[/tex] = 40000

standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] = 5000

Using the standard normal distribution;

[tex]P(32000 <X<42000) = ( \dfrac{x - \mu}{\sigma} <Z< \dfrac{x - \mu}{\sigma})[/tex]

[tex]P(32000 <X<42000) = ( \dfrac{32000 - 40000}{5000} <Z< \dfrac{42000 - 40000}{5000})[/tex]

[tex]P(32000 <X<42000) = ( -1.6<Z<0.4)[/tex]

Here, the region of the area lies between -1.60 and 0.40

∴

P(320000 < X < 40000) = P(Z<0.40) - P(Z< -0.40)

From Z tables;

P(320000 < X < 40000) =  0.6554 -0.0548

P(320000 < X < 40000) = 0.6006

P(320000 < X < 40000) = 60.06%

Explanation:

Willingness to pay is the highest amount a consumer is willing to pay for a good or service. A consumer would purchase a good as long as price is equal to or less than their willingness to pay.

Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.

Consumer surplus = willingness to pay – price of the good

People would purchase a good as long as consumer surplus is positive or zero

Answer:

Relative-price changes, like inflation, can cause price pressure in an economy. Relative-price changes are not a monetary phenomenon. They arise in market economies as individual prices adjust to the ebb and flow of the supply and demand for various goods. Relative-price movements convey important information about the scarcity of particular goods and services. A rising relative price indicates that demand is outstripping supply (or that supply is falling behind demand), while a falling relative price denotes just the opposite. A rising relative price induces consumers to conserve on the good in question and to look for substitutes. A rising relative price also, by increasing profit opportunities, entices producers to bring more of the good in question to market.

In this way, relative-price changes—no matter how uncomfortable they are for consumers or producers—transmit vital information necessary for the efficient allocation of resources throughout any market economy. Inflation, by contrast, contributes no information useful to our consumption, production, or labor choices. If anything, inflation can temporarily distort vital relative-price signals, leading people to make unsound economic choices. It can even cause people to shift their time and resources away from activities that foster production and long-term economic growth to activities intended to protect their wealth rather than expand it.

The NOT CORRECT statement is:

b. Larger total undiscounted profits from the project over the project's life.

Explanation:

The MACRS (Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System) apportions larger depreciation expense in the earlier years of the asset's life, as it attempts to depreciate higher cost in those earlier years than the later years.  This implies that the accounting profits in the early years can only be smaller and the undiscounted profits cannot be larger over the project's life.

Answer: Chính phủ sẽ can thiệp bằng cách dùng gói cứu trợ và nới lỏng thuế cho cá nhân, hộ gia đình, và các doanh nghiệp

Explanation:  gói cứu trợ cho hộ gia đình, các kinh doanh nhỏ, vừa và cả lớn để kích thích nền kinh tế, tăng tổng nguồn cung của đất nước đó. Mặt khác, các cá nhân, hộ gia đình cũng sẽ tăng nhu cầu khi được cứu trợ thêm lương và các khoản chi tiêu khác, giúp nền kinh tế hoạt động trở lại trong đại dịch. Bên cạnh đó, các thuế cũng được giảm xuống để thu hút  cá nhân, doanh nghiệp, và các ngành công nghiệp khác đầu tư vào nguồn nhân lực, cơ sở hạ tầng, cũng từ đó tạo thêm được nhiều việc làm cho nhiều công nhân. Chính Phủ cũng có thể đầu tư số tiền vào các dịch vụ công như là xây dựng đường xá, cầu vượt, giúp tăng thêm việc làm và nguồn thu nhập cho người dân, dẫn đến việc hiệu ứng nhân đôi kép. Tất cả những việc này sẽ giúp cho nền kinh tế của một quốc gia hồi phục nền kinh tế bằng sự can thiệp của Chính Phủ và nới lỏng thuế.

Answer:

12.5%

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the current yield or cost of the preferred stock

First step is to determine the Preference dividend.

Dividend yield= Preference dividend/Market price

9%= Preference dividend/100

Preference dividend=9%*100

Preference dividend=$9

Now let determine the cost of the preferred stock

Using this formula

Cost of preference stock= (Preference dividend/Current market price)×100%

Let plug in the formula

Cost of preference stock=($9/72)×100%

Cost of preference stock=12.5%

Therefore the current yield or cost of the preferred stock is 12.5%

Answer:

GDP deflator

CPI

Explanation:

The consumer price index measures the changes in price of a basket of good. It is used to measure inflation. Basket of goods includes goods produced within the country and outside the country.

CPI = (cost of basket of goods in current period / cost of basket of goods in base period) x 100

An increase in the price of a Japanese-made television that is popular among U.S. consumers will increase CPI

GDP deflator = (nominal GDP / real GDP) x 100

Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year

Nominal GDP is GDP calculated using current year prices while Real GDP is GDP calculated using base year prices. Real GDP has been adjusted for inflation.

A decrease in the price of a Waterman Industries deep-water reel, which is a commercial fishing product used for deep-sea fishing will decrease GDP deflator

Explanation:

Answer and Explanation:

The calculation is given below:

a. The debt ratio is

= Total liabilities ÷ total assets

= $148,000 ÷ $270,000

= 0.5 times

b. The debt/equity ratio is

= Debt ÷ equity

= $148,000 ÷ ($270,000 - $148,000)

= $148,000 ÷ $122,000

= 1.21 times

c. The times interest earned ratio is

= earning before interest and taxes ÷ interest expense

= $81,000 ÷ $17,000

= 4.76 times

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Using the Six Sigma DMAIC process, I will explain what I would do in each step of the process to improve the sales.

DMAIC stands for Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and control.

What I would do first is, of course, define the nature of the problem. To define exactly what is the root of the drop in sales in the hotel. That would allow me to establish proper goals and define a strategy to implement. If a need to do surveys to customers or unsatisfied clients, I would do that. Listening to customer feedback would provide the necessary information.

Then, I have to measure the performance of my employees. Monitoring and evaluate the productivity of the people who work in the organization.

I have to analyze if the productivity ratio of each employee to know if they are performing to the maximum of their capabilities.

In this case, I could use a Pareto chart or the 80-20 rule, to assess productivity in the company.

I have to pay attention to the causes of poor performance and poor quality service. There is an interesting analysis called Root Cause Analysis (RCA) that can be useful in this case.

Once identified and eliminated the root or causes of the problems, then it comes de Improve the process to enhance the performance in every area of the organization. I would have to get people on the same page and focus on one problem at a time to doing things right.

Another model that could be useful in this scenario would be Design of Experiments, commonly known as DOE, which helps resolve complex issues

Finally, the control of everything implementation and solution to confirm it has been established the right way with the desired results. This could be part of the continuing Quality Control process- The poke yoke system would be a good option to be contemplated.

Answer:

the contribution to overhead as a percent of sales is 16.16%

Explanation:

The computation of the  contribution to overhead as a percent of sales is given below;

Sales $198,000

Less: Cost of goods sold $137,500

Less: Direct Expenses $28,500

Contribution $32,000

Now the percentage should be  

= $32,000 ÷ $198,000

= 16.16%

Hence, the contribution to overhead as a percent of sales is 16.16%

Answer:

The correct option is a. $7.50.

Explanation:

Note: The data in this question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question with the sorted data.

The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:

Activity-based costing is a costing system that involves identifying an organization's activities and assigning the cost of each activity to all products and services based on actual consumption.

Based on the data in the question, a haircut requires ​one units each of Hair Washing and Conditioning, while it requires zero unit of each of Chemical Treatment and Styling.

Therefore, we have:

Cost of services for a haircut = (Units of Hair Washing * Rate of Hair Washing) + (Units of Conditioning * Rate of Conditioning) = (1 * $4.00) + (1  $3.50) = $4.00 + $3.50 = $7.50

Therefore, the correct option is a. $7.50.
