Suppose that there are 10 million workers in Canada and that each of these workers can produce either 2 cars or 30 bushels of wheat in a year.

Required:
a. What is the opportunity cost of producing a car in Canada? What is the opportunity cost of producing a bushel of wheat in Canada? Explain the relationship between the opportunity costs of the two goods.
b. Draw Canada’s production possibilities frontier. If Canada chooses to consume 10 million cars, how much wheat can it consume without trade?
c. Now suppose that the United States offers to buy 10 million cars from Canada in exchange for 20 bushels of wheat per car. If Canada continues to consume 10 million cars, how much wheat does this deal allow Canada to consume? Should Canada accept the deal?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A) Opportunity Cost = 1/15 or 0.067 car per wheat

B) PPC downward sloping concave curve, with cars & wheat axis intercepts = 20 & 300 (resp). 15M bushels consumption with 10M cars

C) 1 Car : 20 bushels wheat is not beneficial deal

Explanation:

A) Opportunity Cost is the cost of next best alternative foregone while choosing an alternative.

As 20 million cars or 300 million bushels wheat can be produced, opportunity cost of a bushel wheat is 20 M /300 M ie 0.067 units car .  

B) Production Possibility curve curve shows 2 product combinations, that an economy can produce with given resources & technology. Given fixed resources & technology, goods are inversely related & so curve downward sloping. And, it is concave due to increasing Marginal Opportunity Cost.

Canada's PPC is downward sloping concave curve, with intercept = 20M on axis of cars & intercept = 300M on axis of wheat. If Canada consumes (& produces) 10 million cars, it can consume 15M bushels of wheat

C) Domestic Car : Wheat trade off ratio is = 20M : 300M ie 1: 15 . So, Trade of 20 bushels wheat per car is not beneficial for Canada. As, it is higher than domestic sacrifise ratio of 15 bushels wheat per car.

Smith had no stock transactions in 2016; thus, the change in stockholders' equity for 2016 was due to net income and dividends. If dividends were $70,000, how much was Smith's net income for 2016? Use the accounting equation and the statement of retained earnings.

a. $220,000
b. $290,000
c. $150,000
d. $360,000

Answers

Answer: b. $290,000

Explanation:

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

Change in Assets = Change in liabilities + Change in Equity

560,000 - 330,000 = 35,000 - 25,000 + Change in equity

230,000 = 10,000 + Change in equity

Change in Equity = 230,000 - 10,000

= $220,000

Retained earnings = Change in equity + dividends

= 220,000 + 70,000

= $290,000

If Investment A has an effective annual rate (EAR) that is greater than Investment B's EAR, it is possible for Investment A's annual percentage rate (APR) to be less than Investment B's APR.

a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer: True

Explanation:

It is indeed possible for Investment A's annual percentage rate (APR) to be less than Investment B's APR but the only way that Investment A can have a higher EAR is if it has more compounding periods in the years.

For instance, assume Investment A has an APR of 25% to be compounded daily and Investment B has an APR of 26% to be compounded semi-annually, their EARs would be:

EAR A = (1 + 25%/365)³⁶⁵ - 1

= 28.4%

EAR B = (1 + 26%/2)² - 1

= 27.7%

Proving that APR can be less but EAR will be more.

In addition, the company had an interest expense of $91,000 and a tax rate of 21 percent. (Ignore any tax loss carryforward provisions and assume interest expense is fully deductible.) Suppose the company paid out $55,000 in cash dividends. If net capital spending and net working capital was zero, and if no new stock was issued during the year, what is the net new long-term debt

Answers

Answer:

$6,000

Explanation:

The computation of the net new long term debt is as follows:

But before that following calculations to be done:

Sales $810,000

Less: COGS ($580,000)

Less: S&A Expenses ($90,000)

Less: Depreciation ($135,000)

EBIT $5,000

Less: Interest ($91,000)

Taxable Income ($86,000)

Less: Taxes(21%) $0

Net Income(loss) ($86,000)

Now

OCF = EBIT + Depreciation - Taxes

= $5,000 + $135,000 - $0

= $140,000

Change in NWC = Net capital spending = Net new equity = 0

Cash flow from assets = OCF - Change in NWC - Net capital spending

= $140,000 - $0 - $0

= $140,000

Cash flow to stockholders = Dividends - Net New Equity

= $55,000 - $0

= $55,000

Cash flow to creditors = Cash flow from assets - Cash flow to stockholders

= $140,000 - $55,000

= $85,000

Cash flow to creditors = Interest - Net new LTD

$85,000 = $91,000 - Net new LTD

So,

Net new LTD is

= $91,000 - $85,000

= $6,000

A firm has provided you with the following information:

Output 30
Variable Cost $1,900
Fixed Cost $120
Marginal Cost $50
Price $50

a. What is the firm's short-run profit if they produce using the MC=MR rule?
b. What is the firm's short-run profit if they produce nothing?
c. What will be the firm's production decision in the short-run?

1. Shutdown
2. Exit
3. Operate

Answers

Answer:

(a) Output produced = 30 , Price = $50

Total revenue = Output produced * Price = 30 units * $50 = $1,500

Total Cost= Variable cost + Fixed cost = $1900 + 120 = $2020

At profit maximization or loss minimization point, MR = MC.

Corresponding to an output level of 30, MR=MC =$50

Note: Price is constant at $50. So, the marginal revenue will be $50 at each level of output

Profit = Total revenue - Total Cost.

Profit = $1500 - $2020

Profit = -$520.

The firm's short-run profit is -$520 if they produce using MR=MC.

(b) If a firm produces nothing, then a firm has to bear a fixed cost of $120. It means there is a loss of $120 or a profit of -$120. So, short-run profit is -$120 if they produce nothing.

(c) In the short run, if the firm produces then bear a loss of $520. if a firm produces nothing then bear a loss of $120. So, it is better to shut down the production in the short run in order to minimize the loss of the firm.

Sally received $78,300 of compensation from her employer and she received $540 of interest from a corporate bond. What is the amount of Sally's gross income from these items?

Answers

Answer: The amount of sally's gross income from these items is $78,300

Explanation:

Information provided from the question;

Amount received from employer as compensation = $78,300

Amount received as interest from a corporate bond = $540

Therefore, the amount of Sally's gross income from these items is $78,300

Give an example of one good or service produced in the United States using the command model. Justify your example using research (where did you find this).

Answers

Answer:

An example of production under the command system in the United States is that of the production of roads and passable roads throughout the nation. In this case, it is the production of a public service, and as such it is controlled by the government in all stages of its production: from the identification of the need, through the tender, the construction authorization and the supervision of the results, everything is controlled by the government. This implies that individuals or private companies cannot by their own initiative create this type of road, but rather depend exclusively on the will of the government.

If workers demand and receive higher real wages as a result of successful wage push, the cost of production __and the aggregate supply curve shifts

Select one:
a. falls; left
b. rises; left
c. falls, right
d. rises; right

= rises; left​

Answers

Answer:

b. rises; left

Explanation:

Wage is the amount incurred in compensating workers for their services. It is a major expense for producers. Wage is one of the inputs in the manufacturing process; producers need labor services to continue operating. An increase in wages raises the production cost of the finished goods.

An increase in the cost of production may limit the quantity of output from the producers. As production cost increase, producers will require additional funds to finance the high production costs. Since resources are scarce in every industry, producers may opt to lower their output to avoid incurring high costs. A decrease in the production volume shifts the aggregate supply curve to the left.

Hoi Chong Transport, Ltd., operates a fleet of delivery trucks in Singapore. The company has determined that if a truck is driven 105,000 kilometers during a year, the average operating cost is 11.4 cents per kilometer. If a truck is driven only 70,000 kilometers during a year, the average operating cost increases to 13.4 cents per kilometer.(The Singapore dollar is the currency used in Singapore.)
Requirement 1:
Using the high-low method, estimate the variable and fixed cost elements of the annual cost of the truck operation. (Round the variable cost per kilometer to 3 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
Variable cost per kilometer $
Fixed cost per year $
Requirement 2:
Express the variable and fixed costs in the form Y = a + bX. (Round the variable cost per kilometer to 3 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
Y = $ + $ X
Requirement 3:
If a truck were driven 80,000 kilometers during a year, what total cost would you expect to be incurred? (Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
Total annual cost $
Work done so far:
HIGH :11.4 * 105,000 = 1,197,000
LOW: 13.4 * 70,000 = 938,000
Total Variable cost = 105,000 * 7.4 = 777,000
Fixed cost = 1,197,000 - 777,000 = 420,000

Answers

Answer:

1. $0.074 km

2. Total cost = $4,200 + 0.074x

3. $10,120

Explanation:

The computation of the fixed cost and the variable cost per hour using high and low method is seen below

Variable cost per hour = (High operating cost - Low operating cost) ÷ (High driven in kilometers - Low driven in kilometers),

Where,

High operating cost = 105,000 km × 11.4%

= $11,970

Low operating cost = 70,000 km × 13.4%

= $9,380

Hence,

= ($11,970 - $9,380) ÷ (105,000 km - 70,000 km)

= $2,590 ÷ 35,000 km

= $0.074 per km

Now, the fixed cost equal to

= High operating cost - (High driven in kilometers × Variable cost per km)

= $11,970 - (105,000 km × $0.074 )

= $11,970 - $7,770

= $4,200

2. The equation is as seen below;

Y = a + bx

Therefore,

Total cost = $4,200 + 0.074x

3. Y = a + bx

= $4,200 + 0.074 × 80,000

= $4,200 + $5,920

= $10,120

As you learned more and more about the complexity of the HRM role, what do you view as the most challenging aspect of HRM in the international context? How do you view the impact of expatriates on your role in HRM?

Answers

Answer:

The interpretation including its question would be characterized in the explanatory segment elsewhere here.

Explanation:

(a)

The cultural divide is perhaps the most compelling as that of the complexities of corporation dramatically change in something like a foreign environment. Besides example, a thumbs-up gesture, which would be a complimentary sign throughout the West as well as the US, seems to have a different meaning in several other cultural groups and therefore is construed as bad-mannered throughout Asian countries like Thailand, whereby the significance has been less than that of trying to stick someone's hard to both the West.

(b)

The negative effect of ex-pats mostly on the position of HRM would be that individuals start making the importance of HRM so much enlightening. The HR seems to be essential for safeguarding expatriates and then for the HR to safeguard foreign nationals, this should understand the ways of foreign residents such that the HR could even start educating other staff mostly on cultural values of migrants.
