None of the above
Explanation:
To an economist, money has the following characteristics
1. It is a means of exchange
2. It is regarded as a unit of account
3. Money can also be defined as a store of value.
Therefore to an economist, money is not synonymous with income, wealth, credit and salary.
So the last option answers the question.
Kawamura, a careful utility maximizer, consumes peanut butter and ice cream. Assume that both peanut butter and ice cream are normal goods and that diminishing marginal utility applies to both goods. Right after he achieves the utility-maximizing level of consumption of the two goods, the price of peanut butter falls. After he adjusts to this event, the marginal utility of peanut butter goes _____ and that of ice cream goes _____.
Answer:
The marginal utility of peanut butter goes down and that of ice cream goes up.
Explanation:
The substitution effect states that when the price of a product falls, it will lead to a rise in the quantity demanded of the product as buyers will buy more of the product that is now relatively cheaper.
And as more of a good is bought, its marginal utility falls. And as less of a product is bought, its marginal utility increases.
Based on the above explanation therefore, the marginal utility of peanut butter goes down and that of ice cream goes up after Kawamura adjusts to the event.
This is because as more of peanut butter is bought due to the fall in its price, its marginal utility falls. And as less of ice cream is bought as it is now relatively more expensive, its marginal utility increases.

An investor sells 100 shares short at $43. The sale requires a margin deposit equal to 60 percent of the proceeds of the sale. The company paid a cash dividend of $1 per share. If the investor closed the position at $38, what was the percentage earned or lost on the investment
Answer:
15.5%
Explanation:
We first calculate the beginning value of the investment
= 43$x100 = 4300
We find ending value = $38x100 = 3800
We find dividend = $1x100 = $100
Profit therefore = 4300-3800-100 = 400
Investment = 60% x 4300= 2580
ROI = 400/2580 = 0.1550 = 15.5%
Therefore calculated percentage = 15.5%

Suppose that the turkey industry is in long-run equilibrium at a price of $5 per pound of turkey and a quantity of 400 million pounds per year. Suppose that WebMD claims that a protein found in turkey will increase your expected lifespan by 2 years. WebMD's claim will cause consumers to demand _____________turkey at every price.
Answer:
The "WebMD's claim will cause consumers to demand ______more_______turkey at every price."
Explanation:
Consumers will tend to demand more turkey in order to increase their expected lifespan by 2 years by consuming more of the protein found in turkey as claimed by WebMD. This implies that there will a new equilibrium as the old equilibrium shifts outward to match the increased demand by consumers of turkey. This claim may trigger demand and supply to exceed the annual 400 million pounds equilibrium at $5 per pound.
Midyear on July 31st, the Digby Corporation's balance sheet reported: Total Liabilities of $102.335 million Cash of $8.040 million Total Assets of $165.097 million Retained Earnings of $35.132 million. What was the Digby Corporation's common stock
Answer:
$27.63 million
Explanation:
Total equity = Common stock + Retained earnings
Common stock = Total equity - Retained earnings
Common stock = (Total assets - Total liabilities) - Retained earnings
Common stock = ($165.097 million - $102.335 million) - $35.132 million
Common stock = $62.762 million - $35.132 million
Common stock = $27.63 million
IPS Corp. will upgrade its package-labeling machinery. It costs $850,000 to buy the machinery and have it installed. Operation and maintenance costs, which are $11,000 per year for the first 3 years, increase by $1000 per year for the machine's 10-year life. The machinery has a salvage value of 12% of its initial cost. Interest is 25%. What is the future worth of cost of the machinery
Answer:
The future worth of cost of the machinery is –$8,227,391.25.
Explanation:
The value of an amount of money at a particular interest rate at some point in the future is referred to as future worth.
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the future worth of cost of the machinery.
In the attached excel file, the discounting factor for each year is calculated as follows:
Discounting Factor = (100% + Interest)^Remaining years ………………. (1)
Where:
Interest = 25%
Remaining years = 10 – Number of current year
In the attached excel file, we have:
Total future worth = (8,227,391.25) = –$8,227,391.25
Therefore, the future worth of cost of the machinery is –$8,227,391.25.

Monopoly in the competitive environment a. is enjoyed by few organizations as sole suppliers of a good or service. b. is typical of public utilities -- even more so now than twenty years ago. c. cannot be achieved temporarily even through the use of patents and similar legal devices. d. is the logical extension of a firm's control of its production and labor resources. e. is, all in all, the most common type of competition in the U.S. market.
Answer:
b
Explanation:
and services.
An example of a monopoly is a utility company
A natural monopoly occurs due to the high start-up costs or a large economies of scale.
Natural monopolies are usually the only company providing a service in a particular region
Because the demand curve for a monopoly is downward sloping, marginal revenue is less than price. As prices fall, more units of the product are bought.
In a monopoly When the average cost is falling, the marginal cost lies below the average cost. If the government sets price to be equal to marginal cost, which lies below the average cost, the monopoly would incur losses.
In the last few decades the car manufacturing sector has found it difficult to compete with foreign car imports. High labor costs is one of the main reasons economist site as the lack of competitiveness for the car manufacturing industry. If there was modest inflation, how could it possibly help the car manufacturing industry in the United States compete with foreign car manufacturers?
a. The consumers of the cars have increased purchasing power.
b. Business loans would cost less for the U.S. car manufacturers.
c. It could allow real wages to downwardly adjust more easily.
Answer: c. It could allow real wages to downwardly adjust more easily.
Explanation:
When there is modest inflation, companies in the car manufacturing industry can simply decide not to increase nominal wages. This would lead to a fall in real wages as inflation would ensure that the nominal wages are less than they were worth before.
This decrease in real wages will allow the companies in the industry to reduce labor costs in real terms and become more competitive with the foreign manufacturers.
ABC Company's production budget for March is 32,000 units. Budgeted fixed overhead is $64,000. ABC's standard fixed overhead application rate is $2 per machine hour and each unit is allowed a standard of 1 hour of machine time. Actual fixed overhead for March is $67,000 Actual production in March is 36,000 units. To calculate its standard fixed overhead application rate, ABC divided its budgeted (units/overhead) by its budgeted (units/overhead)
Answer:
Overheads by its budgeted units.
Explanation:
Given that
Budgeted fixed overhead = $64,000
Budgeted output = 32,000 units
We know that
Standard fixed overhead application rate is
= Budgeted fixed overhead ÷ Budgeted output
= $64,000 ÷ 32,000
= $2 per unit
So, Overheads by its budgeted units.
Agreements between an exporter and an agent and agreements between an exporter and a distributor are called distribution contracts.
a. True

The price of a basket of goods is $2000 in the U.S. If purchasing power parity holds, and the dollar buys two units of some country’s currency, then how many units of foreign currency does the same basket of goods cost in that country?
Answer:
4000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine how many units of foreign currency does the same basket of goods cost in that country
Based on the information given we were told that the PRICE OF A BASKET OF GOODS is the amount of $2000 in which the dollar buys TWO UNITS of some country’s currency, now let determine HOW MANY UNITS of foreign currency does the same basket of goods cost in that country
Using this formula
Units of foreign currency=Basket of goods price*Some country’s currency units
Let plug in the formula
Units of foreign currency=$2,000* 2 units
Units of foreign currency=4,000 units
Therefore the number of units of foreign currency that the same basket of goods cost in that country is 4,000
The price of a basket of goods is $2000 in the U.S. If purchasing power parity holds, and the dollar buys two units of some country’s currency, then how many units of foreign currency does
The net income reported on the income statement of Cutler Co. was $2,460,000. There were 50,000 shares of $18 par common stock and 20,000 shares of $5 preferred stock outstanding throughout the current year. The income statement included a gain on discontinued operations of $300,000 after applicable income tax.
a. Determine the per-share figure for common stock for income before discontinued operations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
$ per share
b. Determine the per-share figure for common stock for net income. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
$ per share
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The earning per share is
= (PAT - income tax discontinued operations - Preference dividend) ÷ number of common stock
= ($2,460,000 - $300,000 - (20,000 × $5)) ÷ (50,000 shares)
= $41.2 per share
b. The earning per share is
= (PAT - Preference dividend) ÷ number of common stock
= ($2,460,000 - (20,000 × $5)) ÷ (50,000 shares)
= $47.2 per share
Glaston Company manufactures a single product using a JIT inventory system. The production budget indicates that the number of units expected to be produced are 186,000 in October, 194,500 in November, and 191,000 in December. Glaston assigns variable overhead at a rate of $0.70 per unit of production. Fixed overhead equals $143,000 per month. Compute the total budgeted overhead for October.
Answer:
Budgeted overhead (October)= $273,200
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production= 186,000 in October
Predetermined variable overhead= $0.70 per unit.
Fixed overhead equals $143,000 per month.
To calculate the budgeted overhead for October, we need to use the following formula:
Budgeted overhead (October)= 0.7*186,000 + 143,000
Budgeted overhead (October)= $273,200
Your broker suggests that the stock of DUH is a good purchase at $25. You do an analysis of the firm, determining that the recent $1.40 dividend and earnings should continue to grow indefinitely at 5 percent annually. The firm's beta coefficient is 1.3, and the yield on Treasury bills is 1.4 percent. If you expect the market to earn a return of 8 percent, what is your valuation of DUH
Answer:
The correct answer is "$28.03".
Explanation:
The given values are:
Good purchase,
= $25
Dividend,
= $1.40
Annually earning,
= 5%
Beta coefficient,
= 1.3
Treasury bills,
= 1.4%
Now,
= [tex]1.4+1.34\times 8-1.4[/tex]
= [tex]1.34\times 8[/tex]
= [tex]10.244[/tex] (%)
hence,
The fair value will be:
= [tex]1.4\times \frac{1.05}{.10244}-.05[/tex]
= [tex]28.03[/tex]
Absolutely, the proposal including its brokerage must be adopted because as fair market value was almost $25.
The price of crude oil rose to over $100 per barrel in early 2013. What would we expect to see happen to the supply of plastic, which is produced using crude oil
Answer: The supply of plastic will decrease.
Explanation:
Supply simply means the amount of goods and services that a seller is willing to sell at a particular price and a given time period.
It should be noted that one determinant of supply is cost of raw material. Since there's an increase in the price of crude oil which is used in making plastic, there'll be a reduction in the number of plastic that can be produced, therefore, the supply of plastic will reduce.

Margin = (Income*100/Revenue) = $105600*100/$1006000 = 10.50%
Turnover = (Turnover/Assets) = $1006000/$419800 = 2.4 times
ROI = (income*100/assets) = 105600*100/419800 = 25.15%
Residual Income = (105600-419800*12%) = $55224

Revenues = $298200*1 = $298200
Operating income = $298200*14% = $41748
Operating assets = $298200
Margin = 14%
Turnover = 1 times
ROI = (income*100/assets) = $41748*100/$298200 = 14%
Residual Income = (41748-298200*12%) = $5964
DIVISION Z
Revenues = $635083.33 * 3 = $1905250
Operating income = $104900
Operating assets = (104900-28690)*100/12 = $635083.33
Margin = (Income*100/Revenue) = $104900*100/$1905250 = 5.51%
Turnover = 3 times
ROI = (income*100/assets = 5.51% * 3 = 16.53%
Residual Income = $28690
s). Marty has been offered an injury settlement of $15 comma 000 payable in 5 years. He wants to know what the present value of the injury settlement is if his opportunity cost is 3.5 %. (The opportunity cost is the interest rate in this problem.) What if the opportunity cost is 7.5 %? What if it is 11.5 %?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the present value in each situation is as follows:
As we know that
Present value = Future value ÷ (1 + rate of interest)^time period
When the rate is 3.5%, the present value is
= $15,000 ÷ (1 + 3.5%)^5
= $12,630
When the rate is 7.5%, the present value is
= $15,000 ÷ (1 + 7.5%)^5
= $10,448.38
And, When the rate is 11.5%, the present value is
= $15,000 ÷ (1 + 11.5%)^5
= $8,703.96
In 20X4, Bosh Corporation had income of $60,000 using absorption costing. Beginning and ending inventories were 13,000 and 8,000 units, respectively. The fixed manufacturing overhead cost was $4.00 per unit. What was the net income using direct/variable costing
Answer:
Net income under variable costing $80,000
Explanation:
The computation of the net income using direct/variable costing is shown below:
Net income under absorption costing $60,000
Add fixed cost under applied $20,000
Net income under variable costing $80,000
Working
Beginning inventory 13000
Less ending inventory -8000
Decrease in inventory 5000
Now under applied inventory $20,000
Workman Software has 11 percent coupon bonds on the market with 19 years to maturity. The bonds make semiannual payments and currently sell for 108.3 percent of par. a. What is the current yield on the bonds
Answer:
10.16%
Explanation:
Coupon amount = 11% * 1000
Coupon amount = $110
Price of bond = 1000*108.3%
Price of bond = $1,083
Current yield = Coupon amount / Price of bond
Current yield = $110 / $1,083
Current yield = 0.1015697
Current yield = 10.16%
So, the current yield on the bonds is 10.16%.
Suppose the ABC bank has excess reserves of $3,000 and checkable deposits of $50,000. If the reserve requirement is 20 percent, what is the size of the bank's actual reserves?
a. $53,000
b. $13,000
c. $10,000
d. $7,000
Answer:
b. $13,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the size of the bank's actual reserves
Using this formula
Actual reserves size=Excess reserves+(Checkable deposits*Reserve requirement)
Let plug in the formula
Actual reserves size=$3,000+(.20*$50,000)
Actual reserves size=$3,000+$10,000
Actual reserves size=$13,000
Therefore the size of the bank's actual reserves is $13,000
