Answer:
d. 5% increase in inflation and 3% increase in unemployment rate
Explanation:
Disinflation is a term that describes the slowing down of the rate of inflation. Disinflation will occur when inflation was rising at a high rate, and then it starts to rise at a decreasing rate. Disinflation may be a result of contractionary measures.
Disinflation is a positive situation in the economy because it represents a corrective measure. Inflation was rising at a high rate but has since started to slow down. Disinflation is different from deflation, which is a negative inflation rate. Inflation slowing from 5% to 3% is disinflation.

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
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

Stevenson Corporation acquires a one-year old building at a cost of $500,000 at the beginning of Year 2. The building has an estimated useful life of 50 years. However, based on reliable historical data, the company believes the carpeting will need to be replaced in 5 years, the roof will need to be replaced in 15 years, and the HVAC system will need to be replaced in 10 years. On the date of acquisition, the cost to replace these items would have been carpeting, $10,000; roof, $15,000; HVAC system, $30,000. Assume no residual value.
Required:
Determine the amount to be recognized as depreciation expense in Year 2 related to this building.
Answer:
$14,900
Explanation:
The computation of the amount recognized as a depreciation expense for the year 2 is shown below;
= Carpenting + roof + hvac system + building
= ($10,000 ÷ 5 years) + ($15,000 ÷ 15 years) + ($30,000 ÷ 10 years) + ($500,000 - $10,000 - $15,000 - $30,000) ÷ (50 years)
= $2,000 + $1,000 + $3,000 + $8,900
= $14,900

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
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.
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).
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
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.

$629,856 = $500,000 x (1 + i)¹⁰⁹⁵
(1 + i)¹⁰⁹⁵ = 1.259712
1 + i = 1.000210874
i = 0.000210874 = 0.0210874% per day or 7.7% annual
5) Let the interest rate in the third bank be r3=3.0000%, and you are considering saving your money for 3 years. The interest rate from the first bank that would make you indifferent between the first and third bank is
$500,000 x (1 + i)³⁶ = $547,087.14
(1 + i)³⁶ = 1.09417428
i = 0.2503128 per month = 3.05% annual
Assume the economy of Ucheland is currently at full employment. The government of Ucheland reduces the tax rate on household interest earnings.
a. What will happen to private savings in Ucheland?
b. Draw a correctly labeled graph of the loanable funds market, and show the effect of the change in private savings identified in part (a) on the equilibrium real interest rate.
Answer:
a) since the tax rate oh household interest earnings increases, the number of households that will save money will increase, and the households that were already saving money might increase the amount saved. As a result, private savings will increase in Ucheland.

A. Martine and Sons
B. Smith and Jones
C. Thorn and Thomas
D. Williams Attorneys
Answer: B. Smith and Jones
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the attorneys that provides the necessary experience to pursue her claim and would ensure the employee the lowest overall cost will be Smith and Jones.
From the question, we are informed that Smith and Jones specialize in worker's compensation legal issues and since the employee believes she was injured on the job due to unsafe situation, this implies that the employee would need to be compensated and therefore, the right attorney will be Smith and Jones. They are also cheap when compared to others.
During 2018, Raines Umbrella Corp. had sales of $810,000. Cost of goods sold, administrative and selling expenses, and depreciation expenses were $580,000, $90,000, and $135,000, respectively. 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
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
Value added per employee is a financial measure of how much product was sold vs. how many employees worked during the
period. Is this statement true or false?
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
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.
