Scenario 34-1. Take the following information as given for a small, imaginary economy: When income is $10,000, consumption spending is $6,500. When income is $11,000, consumption spending is $7,250. Refer to Scenario 34-1. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) for this economy is

Answers

Answer:

0.75

Explanation:

Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) is the change in consumption due to change in income

Change in consumption = $7,250 - $6,500 = $750

Change in income = $11,000 - $10,000 = $1,000

MPC = Change in consumption / Change in income

MPC = 750 / 100

MPC = 0.75

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

For Year 1

Average inventory = (Beginning inventory + Ending inventory)÷ 2

= ($64,000 + $80,000) ÷ 2

= $72,000

Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold  ÷ Average inventory

= $606,000 ÷ 72,000

= 8.4 times

Days in inventory = 365 ÷ Inventory turnover ratio

= 365 ÷ 8.4

= 43.5 days

For Year 2

Average inventory = (Beginning inventory + Ending inventory) ÷ 2

= ($80,000 + $72,000) ÷ 2

= $76,000

Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold ÷ Average inventory

= $500,800 ÷ 76,000

= 6.6 times

Days in inventory = 365 ÷ Inventory turnover ratio

= 365 ÷ 6.6

= 55.3 days

A manager's need to exert tight controls on subordinates (span of control) is most accurately captured by which of the following statements?
A. Control will decrease as the manager gets to higher levels in the organization and work becomes less standardized.
B. Control is generally the same in almost all organizations.
C. Control will clearly increase as subordinates need less supervision.
D. Control will decrease as new employees join the company.

Answers

Answer:

b

Explanation:

The phrase Control will decrease as the manager climbs to higher levels in the organization and work becomes less standardized best describes a manager's need to exert tight controls on subordinates (span of control).

Thus, option A is correct.

What is the ideal span of control?

For all businesses, assessing the scope of control is a useful health check. Organizations can easily identify potential areas for improvement or issue areas by visualizing spans and layers. The number of employees directly under management is referred to as the span of control. The number of subordinates that a supervisor or manager in an organization can effectively and efficiently supervise is referred to as the span of control.

A manager with five direct reports, for instance, has a span of control of five. As long as it is considered in the context of the company's organizational structure, having too many or too few direct reports is a useful indicator of how effective an organization is.

For more information about the span of control refer to the link:

g When a court awards custody of a child to one parent and not the other, this is an example of: Group of answer choices all of the answers are correct monetary relief monetary damages equitable relief

Answers

Answer:

equitable relief

Explanation:

A court refers to an enclosed space such as a hall or chamber where legal practitioners (judges, lawyers or attorneys and a jury) converge to hold judicial proceedings.

A lawyer refers to an individual who has obtained a law degree and is saddled with the responsibility of giving legal advice, initiate and execute lawsuits for his or her clients. These legal practitioners are saddled with the legal responsibility of listening to evidence and give a verdict about legal cases.

An equitable relief also referred to as equitable remedy can be defined as judicial remedies granted to an aggrieved person by a court of equity, requiring that the other party act or refrain from indulging in a specific act because ordinary legal remedies couldn't provide the aggrieved party sufficient (adequate) restitution for an offense commited against him or her. Thus, an equitable relief (remedy) is an injunction granted by a court of equity requiring a party to a contract to either act (mandamus or specific performance) or refrain from indulging in a particular act.

In this context, when a court of competent jurisdiction awards or grants custody of a child to one parent rather than awarding it to the other, this is an example of equitable relief.

In conclusion, an equitable relief or remedy is typically a nonmonetary judgement granted by a court of equity when ordinary legal remedies fail to provide sufficient (adequate) restitution to an aggrieved party.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Pinacle Corp. budgeted $242,600 of overhead cost for the current year.

Estimated machine hours= 51,060 hours

To calculate the predetermined overhead rate, we need to use the following formula:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate=  242,600 / 51,060

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $4.75 per machine hour

You are an investment manager and one of your clients is a famous soccer player. She is promised to be paid $5million three years from now. What is the present value of this cash flow today

Answers

Answer:

$4,153,268.86

Explanation:

The below is missing from the question:

Your discount rate for real cash flows is 5% APR, compounded monthly and you are expecting inflation of 1.2% per year (APR, annual compounding).

We need to convert the real interest rate to an effective annual rate as shown thus:

EAR=(1+APR/n)^n-1

APR=5%

number of times interest is compounded annually=12

EAR=(1+5%/12)^12-1

EAR=5.12%

Nominal Discount rate = [(1+ Real Discount rate)*(1+Inflation Rate)] - 1

Nominal Discount rate =(1+5.12%)*(1+1.2%)-1

Nominal discount rate=6.38%

Present value=future value/(1+nominal discount rate)^3

future value=$5,000,0000

nominal discount rate=6.38%

n=3 years

PV=$5,000,000/(1+6.38%)^3

PV= $4,153,268.86

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is c) least Squares Dummy Variable (LSDV).

Explanation:

Dummy variables can be used in dynamic panel data models to explain the effect of each individual unit of a cross section that is unobserved but accurately characterizes the model of relation. The individual effect is assumed to be fixed across time in each individual in the least squares dummy variable (LSDV) estimation. If the unobserved effect and the explanatory variables are correlated, the assumption of fixed effects gives more exact estimators than the assumption of random effects.

Therefore, the most suitable method, if income is correlated with the unobserved family effect is least Squares Dummy Variable (LSDV).

This implies that the correct option is c) least Squares Dummy Variable (LSDV).

Suppose that there is no third-party payer in the medical care market in Uganda in 1955. Suppose that in 1960, health insurance companies begin operations in Uganda. All else being equal, what does supply and demand analysis predict will happen in the medical care market in 1960

Answers

Answer: b. Total expenditures will increase

Explanation:

Medical insurance reduces the amount that people have to pay to get health related services. Ugandans from the year 1960 can be expected to pay less for medical services as a result.

If people are able to pay less for a good or service, the normal thing that they would do would be to demand more of that good and service because it is more affordable. Total expenditure in the medical field will increase as a result.

The following labor standards have been established for a particular product: Standard labor hours per unit of output 4.4 hours Standard labor rate $ 17.70 per hour The following data pertain to operations concerning the product for the last month: Actual hours worked 6,200 hours Actual total labor cost $ 110,360 Actual output 1,300 units Required: a. What is the labor rate variance for the month? b. What is the labor efficiency variance for the month?

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

To calculate the direct labor rate variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity

Direct labor rate variance= (17.7 - 17.8)*6,200

Direct labor rate variance= $620 unfavorable

Actual rate= 110,360/6,200= $17.8

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (1,300*4.4 - 6,200)*17.7

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $8,496 unfavorable

It's clear that the lives of many creative artists are being transformed by digital technology. But competing schools of thought cite the very same technology in support of strikingly different conclusions.

One group, for example, says the ability to widely distribute the best performers' products at low cost portends a world where even small differences in talent command huge differences in reward. That view is known as the "winner take all" theory.

In contrast, the "long tail" theory holds that the information revolution is letting sellers prosper even when their offerings appeal to only a small fraction of the market. This view foresees a golden age in which small-scale creative talent flourishes as never before.

Long-tail proponents often portray best-selling entertainment as lowest-common-denominator compromises whose only real advantage is lower cost made possible by large-scale distribution and sales. If technology makes scale less important, they argue, people will turn to the more idiosyncratic offerings that they really prefer. In principle, at least, this creates exciting new possibilities for small-scale sellers.

In practice, however, winner-take-all effects still appear to dominate. Long-tail proponents predict that the least-popular offerings should be capturing market share from the most popular. But as Anita Elberse, a professor at the Harvard Business School, recounts in her 2013 book "Blockbusters", the entertainment industry's experience has been the reverse. Digital song titles selling more than one million copies, for example, accounted for 15 percent of sales in 2011, up from 7 percent in 2007. The publishing and film industries experienced similar trends.

What's happening? One possibility is that today's tighter schedules have made people more reluctant to sift through the growing avalanche of options confronting them. Still, the growing market share of top sellers doesn't invalidate the promise of small-scale creative energy. Using big data, producers can now take aim at highly idiosyncratic buyers, and online searches help many such buyers find just the quirky offerings they're seeking.

Answer and Explanation:

Artists' lives have been changed by digital technology. This has created different schools of thought such as the "winner take all" theory, which claims that delivering high quality products at low cost will create a world where small differences in talent demand large differences in reward, and the "long tail"  theory, who claims that digital technology is creating a small portion of sellers that the market will adapt to, promoting low-cost products. These two theories are effective in different realities. However, the existence of both proves the change that programming and technology has been showing in entertainment and in the market.

According to the passage, there are two main schools of thought.

The first is the Winner take all school of thought which is of the opinion that digital technology which provides the opportunity to widely distribute the best performers' product at low cost where little differences in talent could translate to huge rewards in the market.

The second is the long tail  school of thought which posits that sellers are large beneficiaries even when they control a little market share.

Anita Elberses' 2013 book "Blockbuster" reveals that a reverse trend was observed in the entertainment industry which could also be said about the publishing and film industries.

It is worthy to note that although there is an exponential growth in available options, buyers can use online search to streamline the product they wish to buy.

One or two pegged-out actors sought him and borrowed a little of the little that he had; a few others came when he had nothing at all. His partners, quarreling among themselves and feeling that they had done him an injustice, remained religiously away.
