We assume that in a village there are farmers, carpenters, and tailors, who provide the three essential goods: food, housing, and clothing. Suppose the farmers consume 2/5 of the food (produced by farmers), 1/3 of the housing (produced by carpenters) and 1/2 of the clothes (produced by tailors). The carpenter consumes 2/5 of the food, 1/3 of the housing, and 1/2 of the clothes. The tailors consume 1/5 of the food, 1/3 of the housing, and no clothes. Assume this is a closed Leontief model.

If we know that the tailors produce 560 units of clothes, then the farmers produce ___________units of food, and the carpenters produce_________ units of housing.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The farmers produce 746 units.

The carpenters produce 746 units.

Explanation:

Leontief model is a model of economics for whole country. It helps to understand the effects of increased production on the economy. In the given scenario the farmers, carpenters and tailor maintain a ratio in which they produce goods. The equilibrium condition will be Ap = p. The ratio of farmer, carpenter and tailor will be 4:4:3 to achieve the equilibrium. If the tailor produces 560 units then farmer will produce 560 * 4 /3 and carpenter will produce 560 *4/3.

Explanation:

For Your Understanding:

If the time period is single then use Cross-sectional data.

If their are multiple time periods then use time-series.

A. To determine whether or not the enrollment in higher education is increasing we will use time-series data because enrollment of students is a periodical event and occurs every year. So this means periodic study would be better with time-series data.

B. For comparing the current price of a gallon of gasoline across different gas stations in Los Angeles, CA: we are considering prices in a single time period. Thus the we will use cross-sectional data.

C. For finding see any differences in the average number of calories contained in school lunches served in each of the fifty states on December 1, 2015: we are considering a single time period. Thus we will use here cross-sectional data.

D. To find out the insect population and comparing them with insect population in a geographic region before and after insecticide was used: we will consider two time periods. As the time periods are more than one, hence we will use time-series data here.

A $2 million jumbo CD is paying a quoted 3.55 percent interest rate on 180-day maturity CDs. How much money will you have at maturity if you invest in the CD

Answers

Answer:

Maturity Value = $2,035,500

Explanation:

$2,000,000 are invested

Interest rate = 3.55 %

Time = 180 days

Maturity value = ?

Maturity Value = Amount invested * [1 +( interest * no of days to maturity/360)

Maturity Value = $2,000,000* [1 + (0.0355*180) /360)

Maturity Value = $2,000,000* [1 + (6.39/360)

Maturity Value = $2,000,000* [1 +  0.01775]

Maturity Value = $2,000,000 * 1.01775

Maturity Value = $2,035,500

Round your answer to two decimal places.Plan A %Plan B %Graph the NPV profiles for Plan A and Plan B and approximate the crossover rate to the nearest percent.Calculate the crossover rate where the two projects' NPVs are equal. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.%

Answers

Answer:

Project A:

initial outlay -$40 million

cash flows $6.39 million for 20 years

PV of cash flows = $6,390,000 x 9.1285 (PV annuity factor, 9%, 20 periods) = $58,331,115

NPV = -$40,000,000 + $58,331,115 = $18,331,115 ≈ $18.33 million

IRR = 15%

 

Project B:

initial outlay -$13 million

cash flows $2.91 million for 20 years

PV of cash flows = $2,910,000 x 9.1285 (PV annuity factor, 9%, 20 periods) = $26,563,935

NPV = -$13,000,000 + $26,563,935 = $13,563,935 ≈ $13.56 million

IRR = 22%

Crossover rate = 11.4%

I solved the cross over rate the following way:

project A       project B       difference

-40                    -13         -27

6,39  2,91   3,48

6,39  2,91   3,48

6,39  2,91   3,48

6,39  2,91   3,48

Using a financial calculator or excel spreadsheet, find the IRR of the difference and that is the crossover rate (discount rate at which both projects have the same NPV).

In the long run, a decrease in the money supply will
decrease real Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
decrease the price level.
increase real Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
increase the price level.

Answers

Answer:

decrease real Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

Explanation:

GDP represents the total value of a country output. The calculation of GDP using the expensive method is identical to that of the aggregate demand. Aggregate demand is the total of government spending, consumer spending, investment, and net exports. Therefore, GDP and aggregate demand are the same.

A decrease in the money supply leads to firms and households having less money to spend. Reduction in disposable income results in reduced consumer spending, which has adverse effects on aggregate demand. Therefore, reduced money supply results in a decline in consumer spending and reduced aggregate demand, leading to a reduction in a country's output.

Larner Corporation is a diversified manufacturer of industrial goods. The company's activity-based costing system contains the following six activity cost pools and activity rates:

Activity Cost Pool Activity Rates
Labor-related $7.00 per direct labor-hour
Machine-related $3.00 per machine-hour
Machine setups $40.00 per setup
Production orders $160.00 per order
Shipments $120.00 per shipment
General factory $4.00 per direct labor-hour

Cost and activity data have been supplied for the following products:

J78 B52
Direct materials cost per unit $6.50 $31.00
Direct labor cost per unit $3.75 $6.00
Number of units produced per year 4,000 100
Total Expected Activity J78 B52 Direct labor-hours 1,000 40
Machine-hours 3,200 30
Machine setups 5 1
Production orders 5 1
Shipments 10 1

Required:
Compute the unit product cost of each product listed above.

Answers

First, The unitary production cost J78 is = $15.95

Second The unitary production costB52 is = $45.4

How to Compute the unit Product Cost?

Firstly, we need to allocate overhead to each product that is:

Then Allocated MOH is = Estimated manufacturing overhead rate × Actual amount of allocation base

The cost and activity data of J78:

The Labor-related is = 7.00×1,000= 7,000

Then Machine-related is = 3.00×3,200= 9,600

After that Machine setups is = 40.00×5= 200

Then Production orders is = 160.00×5= 800

Then Shipments is = 120.00×10= 1,200

The General factory is = 4.00×1,000= 4,000

Therefore, The Total overhead is = $22,800

Then the Unitary overhead is = 22,800/4,000= $5.7

The cost and activity data of B52:

The Labor-related is = 7.00×40= 280

Then Machine-related is = 3.00×30= 90

After that Machine setups is = 40.00×1= 40

Then Production orders is = 160.00×1= 160

Then Shipments is  = 120.00×1= 120

After that General factory is = 4.00×40= 160

Therefore The Total overhead is = $850

Then Unitary overhead is = 850/100= $8.5

Now, we calculate the unitary production cost is:

The unitary production cost J78= 6.5 + 3.75 + 5.7= $15.95

The unitary production cost B52= 31 + 6 + 8.5= $45.4

Builders Corporation (Builders) is a general contractor. Builders wished to bid on a construction project and solicited bids from a variety of subcontractors. Four electrical subcontractors, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta, submitted bids to Builders. The bids were as follows: Alpha- $75,000; Beta- $85,000; Gamma- $90,000; Delta- $95,000. As Builders was preparing its bid on the construction project based upon the low bid submitted by Alpha, Builders’ president called Alpha and told him, "We won’t be able to do it with your present bid, but if you can shave off $5,000, I’m sure that the numbers will be there for us to get that project." Alpha responded, "No way! In fact, that bid we submitted was based on a $15,000 error; we can’t do it for a cent less than $90,000." Nevertheless, Builders submitted its bid for the construction project using Alpha’s original $75,000 bid. Builders was not awarded the construction job and subsequently sued Alpha. Alpha is liable for:________.

Answers

Answer:

Alpha is liable for nothing.

Explanation:

Builders requested Alpha to make a discount (which is considered a counteroffer) but Alpha rejected it. At this point there was no valid offer anymore, and luckily for Builders, they lost the bid. Since a counteroffer invalidates an original offer, Alpha didn't have any type of obligation with Builders to perform at $75,000. The new price between them was $90,000, take it or leave it. Builder's president made a mistake when he made his counteroffer and if they had won the contract, then they would have needed to look at the other offers.

Alpha is liable for nothing. A further explanation is below.

Builders asked Alpha for a discount, however, Alpha declined. At this moment, there's no longer a legitimate offer, as well as fortunately for Builders, they dropped the bid.

Because a counteroffer nullifies an earlier commitment, Alpha was under no duty to Contractors to execute at $75,000. They agreed on new pricing of $90,000, accept or reject it.This same president make mistake when before he submitted his counteroffer because if they will indeed have just been awarded the contract, they would've had to examine the other proposals.

Thus the statement above is correct.

During its first year of operations, Drone Zone Corporation (DZC) bought goods from a manufacturer on account at a cost of $55,000. DZC returned $8,500 of this merchandise to the manufacturer for credit on its account. DZC then sold $43,000 of the remaining goods at a selling price of $69,600. DZC records sales returns as they occur and then records estimated additional returns at year-end. During the year, customers returned goods that had been sold at a price of $7,300. These goods were in perfect condition, so they were put back into DZC’s inventory at their cost of $4,500. At year-end, DZC estimated $9,510 of current year merchandise sales would be returned to DZC in the following year; DZC estimates $5,800 as its cost of this merchandise.

Orange Inc., an orange juice producer with a current debt-to-equity ratio of 2, is considering expanding its operations to produce toothpaste. Unsurprisingly, the toothpaste industry faces a different set of risks than the orange juice industry. However, the executives at Orange Inc. observe that Paste Inc., a toothpaste company, has a cost of equity of 12%, a cost of debt of 6%, and a debt-to-value ratio of 40%. Orange Inc. plans to finance its expansion into toothpaste production with 50% debt and 50% equity. The cost of debt for Orange Inc. is also 6%, and the corporate tax rate is 25%. Solve for the discount rate that Orange Inc. should use when evaluating whether to go forward with the expansion Note: Orange Inc. does not want to use the Adjusted Present Value method.

Issue $15 million in debt, pay $5 million to shareholders Issue $10 million in debt, pay $20 million to shareholders
Issue $20 million in debt, pay $8 million to shareholders

Answers

Answer:

Appropriate Rate = 8.85%

Explanation:

Given the following :

Paste Inc,

cost of debt (Kd) = 6% = 0.06

Cost of Equity Ke = 12% = 0.12

Weight of debt ; Wd = 40%

Weight of equity; We = 1 - 40% = 0.6

Pretax discount :

We * Ke + Wd * Kd

0.6 * 0.12 + 0.4 * 0.06 = 0.096

For orange :

Weight of debt (Wd) = 50% = 0.5

Weight of Equity (We) = 50% = 0.5

Cost of debt (Kd) = 6% = 0.06

Tax rate (r) = 25% = 0.25

Cost of Equity (Ke) :

Pretax discount + 1(pretax discount - cost of debt)

0.096 + 1(0.096 - 0.06)

0.096 + 0.096 - 0.06 = 0.132

WACC: for orange Inc.

We * Ke + Wd * Kd * ( 1 - tax rate)

0.5 * 0.132 + 0.5 * 0.06 * (1 - 0.25)

0.5 * 0.132 + 0.5 * 0.06 * 0.75

0.066 + 0.0225

= 0.0885

= 0.0885 * 100%

= 8.85%

Prior to safely smoking meat for food preservation, what must an operation have?

Answers

smoking and curing
brxwtse

An operation must have a variance from regulatory authorities prior to smoking meat safely for food preservation.

A variance is simply an official permit that allows entities to do something that is ordinarily forbidden by regulation. Food safety methods that often require a variance include the smoking of food as a method of preservation but not as a flavor enhancer; and more often than not, follows a strict HACCP (hazard analysis critical control point).

Therefore, if an operation (business or organization) intends to smoke food as a preservative method during food processing, they need to seek and gain variance from the local regulatory authority.

The contract drawings prepared by the architect are generally not specific enough to facilitate accurate fabrication of the materials involved. Therefore, to produce the necessary materials for a project, subcontractors and suppliers must provide ________________________ to amplify/clarify the contract drawings.

Answers

Answer:

construction specifications

Explanation:

Construction contracts must always include construction specifications. These specifications refer to what materials, installations and specialized labor is required to perform correctly the building process.

Architects are paid for their blueprints, i.e. their designs. Sometimes an architect can recommend certain materials that fit his/her design, but the contractor is responsible for carrying on the actual construction.

The contractor has to specify which materials will be used and how the construction process will be carried out. E.g. it is not the same to build a house with luxurious materials like expensive floors and ceilings than a normal house.

Eggz, Inc., is considering the purchase of new equipment that will allow the company to collect loose hen feathers for sale. The equipment will cost $430,000 and will be eligible for 100 percent bonus depreciation. The equipment can be sold for $48,000 at the end of the project in 5 years. Sales would be $279,000 per year, with annual fixed costs of $48,000 and variable costs equal to 35 percent of sales. The project would require an investment of $27,000 in NWC that would be returned at the end of the project. The tax rate is 21 percent and the required return is 8 percent. Calculate the NPV of this project. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) NPV

Answers

Answer:

NPV = $91,412.60

Explanation:

initial outlay = $430,000 (equipment cost) + $27,000 (increase in net working capital) = $457,000

revenue per year (without considering depreciation) = {[$279,000 x (1 - 35%)] - $48,000} x (1 - 21%) = $105,346.50

additional revenue generated by bonus depreciation = $430,000 x 21% = $90,300

after tax salvage value = $48,000 x (1 . 21%) = $37,920

Cash flow year 0 = -$457,000

Cash flow year 1 = $105,346.50 + $90,300 = $195,646.50

Cash flow year 2 = $105,346.50

Cash flow year 3 = $105,346.50

Cash flow year 4 = $105,346.50

Cash flow year 5 = $105,346.50 + $37,920 + $27,000 = $170,266.50

discount rate = 8%

using a financial calculator, NPV = $91,412.60

If annualized interest in the U.S. and France are 9% and 13%, respectively, and the spot value of the French franc is $0.1109, then at what 180-day forward rate will interest rate parity hold

Answers

Answer:

0.1130 FF/$

Explanation:

Spot value = 0.1109 FF/$

Interest rate in US for 180 days = 9%*180/365 = 0.044384

Interest rate in France for 180 days = 13%*180/365 = 0.06411

Forward rate = Spot value*(1+Interest rate in US)/(1+Interest rate in France)

Forward rate = 0.1109*(1+0.06411)/(1+0.044384)

Forward rate = 0.1109*(1.06411/1.044384)

Forward rate = 0.1109* 1.018888      

Forward rate = 0.1130 FF/$
