b. An increase in the price of a Waterman Industries deep-water reel, which is a commercial fishing product used for deep-sea fishing, made in the U.S., but not bought by U.S. consumers.

Answers

Answer:

1. The GDP deflator for this year is calculated by dividing the Value of all goods and services produced in the economy this year using  this year's prices by the Value of all goods and services produced in the economy in the base year using the base year's prices and multiplying by 100.

However, the CPI reflects only the prices of all goods and services bought by consumers.

2. a. A decrease in the price of a Chinese-made car that is popular among U.S. consumers. Affects CPI.

This affects CPI because the CPI reflects only the prices of goods and services purchased by customers.

b. An increase in the price of a Waterman Industries deep-water reel, which is a commercial fishing product used for deep-sea fishing, made in the U.S., but not bought by U.S. consumers. Affects GDP Deflator.

This is a good produced in the United States so it will affect the GDP Deflator as that deals with GDP.

Consider a second-price, sealed-bid auction with a seller who has one unit of the object which he values at s and two buyers 1, 2 who have values of v1 and v2 for the object. The values s, v1, v2 are all independent, private values. Suppose that both buyers know that the seller will submit his own sealed bid of s (and will keep the item if bid s wins), but they do not know the value of s. The buyers know that the seller must submit his bid before seeing the buyer’s bids and they know that the seller will actually run a second price auction with the three bids he has: his own bid and the two buyer’s bids. Each buyer knows his own value but not the other buyer’s value.

Now suppose that the seller opens the bids from the buyers and then submits his own bid after seeing the bids from the two buyers. The seller runs a second price auction with these bids in the sense that the object is awarded to the highests bidder (one of the two buyers or the seller) and that bidder pays the second highest bid. Now is it optimal for the buyers to bid truthfully; that is, should they each bid their true value? Give a brief explanation for your answer.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Given that this is a second price bid auction whereby the second highest bid is the price that the highest bidder pays for the item up for auction sale, so that b1>b2 then b1 gets item for the price of b2.

Truthfulness of true value is the dominant strategy here which means each player should aim to be truthful with their bid regarding their true value regardless of what other bidders are bidding. Therefore truthfulness of value is the optimal strategy with the best payoff for bidders

Snoblo, a manufacturer of snowblowers, sells four models. The base model, Reguplo, has demand that is normally distributed, with a mean of 10,000 and a stand deviation of 1,000. The three other models have additional features, and each has demand that is normally distributed, with a mean of 1,000 and a standard deviation of 700. Currently all four models are manufactured on the same line at a cost of $100 for Reguplo and $110 for each of the other three models. Reguplo sells for $200, whereas each of the other three models sells for $220. Any unsold blowers are sold at the end of the season for $80. Snoblo is considering the use of tailored sourcing by setting up two separate lines, one for Reguplo and one for the other three. Given that no changeovers will be required on the Reguplo line, the production cost of Reguplo is expected to decline to $90. The production cost of the other three products, however, will now increase to $120.

Payton Inc. reports in its Year 7 annual report, sales of $6,544 million and cost of goods sold of $2,618 million. For next year, you project that sales will grow by 3% and that cost of goods sold percentage will be 1 percentage point higher. Projected cost of goods sold for Year 8 will be:

Answers

Answer:

The projected cost of goods sold is $2,763 million

Explanation:

The computation of the projected cost of goods sold for the year 8 is shown below:

The Projected cost of goods sold is

= ($6,544 × 1.03 × ($2,618 ÷ $6,544) + 1%)  

= ($6,740  × (0.40 + 1%)

= $6,740 × 0.41

= $2,763 million

Hence, the projected cost of goods sold is $2,763 million

The same is to be considered

If the expected sales volume for the current period is 9,000 units, the estimated the beginning inventory is 200 units and the desired ending inventory is 300 units, calculate the production budget for the current period.Group of answer choices9,0008,9008,7009,100

Answers

Answer:

Production= 9,100 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales= 9,000 units

Beginning inventory= 200 units

Desired ending inventory= 300 units

To calculate the budgeted production for the period, we need to use the following formula:

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Production= 9,000 + 300 - 200

Production= 9,100 units

Tom Cruise Lines Inc. issued bonds five years ago at $1,000 per bond. These bonds had a 20-year life when issued and the annual interest payment was then 13 percent. This return was in line with the required returns by bondholders at that point as described below:
Real rate of return 4 %
Inflation premium 5
Risk premium 4
Total return 13 %
Assume that five years later the inflation premium is only 3 percent and is appropriately reflected in the required return (or yield to maturity) of the bonds. The bonds have 15 years remaining until maturity. Use Appendix B and Appendix D.

Answers

Answer:

$1,161.23

since the coupon rate is higher than the market rate, the bonds will be priced at a premium

Explanation:

In order to calculate the current market price of the bonds we can use the yield to maturity formula:

YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]

YTM = 11%n = 15 yearscoupon = $130face value = $1,000

0.11 = {130 + [(1,000 - market value)/15]} / [1,000 + market value)/2]

0.11 x [1,000 + market value)/2] = 130 + [(1,000 - market value)/15]

0.11 x (500 + 0.5M) = 130 + 66.67 - 0.067M

55 + 0.055M = 196.67 - 0.067M

0.122M = 141.67

M = 141.67 / 0.122 = $1,161.23

4. Make the journal entry to record the accrual of Moonwalk's payroll tax expense for Wallace's total earnings.

Answers

Answer:

1. Gross Pay = Salary + Bonus

= (13,600 * 12) + (15% * (13,600 * 12))

= 163,200 + 24,480

= $187,680

2.Wallace 2016 Payroll = Gross Pay - Deductions

Deductions

= FICA-Social security tax + FICA-Medicare tax + Federal income tax + State income tax + Charity Fund contribution + Life insurance contribution

= (6.2% x 117,000) +  (1.45% x 187,680) + {(952 x 12) + 3,672} + {(150 x 12) + 90} + (3% x 187,680) + (50 x 12)

= 7,254 + 2,721.36 + 15,096 + 1,890 + 5,630.40 + 600

Robert needs his daily fix of coffee in the mid-afternoon and visits different coffee shops that will give him as much utility as possible, given his $20/month food budget. On Monday, the Blue Coffee Shop was selling espresso shots for $3 each and Robert added 3 shots to his cappuccino. By Friday, the Purple Coffee Shop offered espresso shots for $2 each, while all other prices remained the same, so Robert was bold and added 4 espresso shots to his hot beverage.

Required:
Given this information, plot Robert's demand curve for espresso shots.

Answers

Answer:

I drew Robert's demand curve for espresso shots assuming that it was a linear curve since the information contained in the question is limited to that.  

A demand curve generally is downward sloping, since an increase in price will usually result in a higher quantity demanded (at least for normal goods).  

In a large open economy , an investment tax credit raises the real interest rate, __________ the trade balance, and __________ net capital inflow.

Answers

Answer:

The correct approach will be "decreases, decreases."

Explanation:

The investment tax incentive helps corporations to exclude a portion of the expense including its investment towards taxes. This raises disposable income unintentionally. This increase in household inflation rate is contributing to something like an increase in the rate of trade.As either the significance of the domestic country's currency, export industries decreasing trend as well as imports rise, resulting throughout a decline throughout the terms of payment. The capital flows grow and indeed the outflow declines even as actual interest rates go up, the decline in net investment output.

A machine was purchased for $35,500, having a useful life of 10 years, and a residual value of $6,000. Compute the annual depreciation expense using the straight-line method.

Answers

Answer:

Annual depreciation= $2,950

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A machine was purchased for $35,500, having a useful life of 10 years, and a residual value of $6,000.

To calculate the depreciation expense under the straight-line method, we need to use the following formula:

Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

Annual depreciation= (35,500 - 6,000) / 10

Annual depreciation= $2,950

Suppose there is a policy debate over whether the United States should impose trade restrictions on imported ball bearings:________.
Domestic producers of ball bearings send a lobbyist to the U.S. government to request that the government impose trade restrictions on imports of ball bearings. The lobbyist claims that the U.S. ball-bearing industry is new and cannot currently compete with foreign firms. However, if trade restrictions were temporarily imposed on ball bearings, the domestic ball-bearing industry could mature and adjust and would eventually be able to compete in the world market.
Which of the following justifications is the lobbyist using to argue for the trade restriction on ball bearings?
A. Infant-industry argument
B. Saving-domestic-jobs argument
C. Using-protection-as-a-bargaining-chip argument
D. National-security argument
E. Unfair-competition argument

Answers

Answer:

A)Infant-industry argument

Explanation:

We are informed about a Supposed policy debate over whether the United States should impose trade restrictions on imported ball bearings. Whereby

Domestic producers of ball bearings send a lobbyist to the U.S. government to request that the government impose trade restrictions on imports of ball bearings.

In the case whereby, The lobbyist claims that the U.S. ball-bearing industry is new and cannot currently compete with foreign firms, the justifications the lobbyist was using to argue for the trade restriction on ball bearings is Infant-industry argument.

Infant-industry argument can be regarded as an economic rationale that provides protection for new industries that are yet to reach a certain economic scale like the existing industries, this theory offer protection to this new/developing industry from some form pressure as well as their products that can emerge from compitition from other mature industries.

At January 1, 2021, Cafe Med leased restaurant equipment from Crescent Corporation under a nine-year lease agreement. The lease agreement specifies annual payments of $29,000 beginning January 1, 2021, the beginning of the lease, and at each December 31 thereafter through 2028. The equipment was acquired recently by Crescent at a cost of $207,000 (its fair value) and was expected to have a useful life of 13 years with no salvage value at the end of its life. (Because the lease term is only 9 years, the asset does have an expected residual value at the end of the lease term of $94,113.) Crescent seeks a 12% return on its lease investments. By this arrangement, the lease is deemed to be an operating lease.

Required:
a. What will be the effect of the lease on Cafe Med's earnings for the first year (ignore taxes)?
b. What will be the balances in the balance sheet accounts related to the lease at the end of the first year for Café Med (ignore taxes)?

Answers

Answer:

Café Med

a. Café Med's earnings for the first year will be reduced by $58,000 (Operating lease expense for January 1 and December 31, 2021).

b. In Café Med's Balance Sheet, at the end of the first year, there will be a liability balance or Lease Expense Payable of $29,000 for the balance due to be paid on December 31, 2021.

Explanation:

Lease annual payments = $29,000

First payment date = January 1, 2021

Subsequent payment dates = December 31, 2021 to 2028.

Period of lease agreement = 9 years < 75% (9/13)

Cost of equipment to Crescent = $207,000

Lifespan of equipment = 13 years

Residual value at end of the lease term = $94,113

b) Café Med will recognize this lease arrangement as an operating lease.  This is based on periodic rental payment on a straight-line basis, which is recorded as an operating lease expense.  The liability arising will be for unpaid rentals at the end of the accounting period.

A company has total equity of $2,160, net working capital of $240, long-term debt of $1,070, and current liabilities of $4,500. What is the company's net fixed assets?

Answers

Answer:

$2,990

Explanation:

A company's fixed asset consist of its plants and machineries, motor vehicles , buildings etc.

To get the company's net fixed asset, we would subtract the networking capital from total equity and add up long term debt.

Therefore,

Net fixed asset = $2,160 total equity - $240 working capital + $1,070 long term debt

= $2,990

Hence net fixed asset is $2,990

University Printers has two service departments Maintenance and Personnel and two operating departments Printing and Developing. Management has decided to allocate maintenance costs on the basis of machine-hours in each department and personnel costs on the basis of labor-hours worked by the employees in each.
The following data appear in the company records for the current period:
Maintenance Personnel Printing Developing
Machine-hours ? 455 455 2,590
Labor-hours 315 ? 294 1,491
Department direct cost 11,000 $23,000 $25,000 $23,000

Hector was prosecuted following police seizure of 80 pounds of drugs from his airplane. The seizure was held to be unlawful, the evidence was sup- pressed, and the suit against Hector was dismissed. He sued the government officials involved in his arrest and prosecution to recover $3,500 in bail bond expenses, $23,000 in attorney's fees, and $2,000 in travel costs. The district court held he could not recover the costs incurred during the criminal prosecution. Hector appealed. Can he recover the costs? (Hector v. Watt, 235 F.3d 154, 3rd Cir. (2000)]

Answers

Answer:

Hector will lose.

Explanation:

If someone suffers an illegal search or seizure, he/she can recover any costs associated with that incident, e.g. property damage, injuries (both physical or to their reputation, lawyers, etc.). But if the illegal search actually results in some criminal evidence being discovered, then you cannot recover any costs.  Anything seized illegally will be dismissed, but the reward is not going to jail even if they committed a crime, they get no money back.

Why only ask for a refund of his lawyer's fees, he should also ask for a refund for the value of the drugs? This lawsuit is absolutely ridiculous.

Janet enjoys eating jelly sandwiches and drinking milk. She is particular about proportions, though: For every jelly sandwich she eats, she must drink exactly one glass of milk, and vice versa. Janet can purchase the jelly for her sandwiches in two jar sizes: 20 ounces and 40 ounces. Janet cares only about the total amount of jelly she has available and not at all about the jar size. In other words, she's just as happy with two 20-ounce jars as she is with one 40-ounce jar.
In this scenario, jelly sandwiches and glasses of soda are:___________
a. perfect complements
b. perfect substitutes
c. neither complements or susitutes)

Answers

The correct answer is A. Perfect complements

Explanation:

Janet eats jelly sandwiches and milk together; in this context, jelly and milk are complements because these are consumed together. Indeed, every time Janet consumes jelly she consumes milk. Moreover, these are perfect complements because the demand and consumption of both increases or decreases together proportionally. This is because if Janet eats 2 sandwiches this also duplicates the amount of milk she consumes (two glasses of milk). In the same way, this affects the demand for jelly and milk because if Janet drinks more milk she will need to buy more jelly.

If a particular good or product is consumed togetherly is said to be the perfect counterpart. Economically also the consumer uses products in a fixed proportion like cereal and milk are the perfect complementary example.

The correct answer is:

Option A. perfect complements

This can be explained as:

Jelly and milk are paired as they both are utilised togetherly in a combination.

Whenever Janet will eat jelly she will drink milk too.

The demand is proportionate to each other as jelly in the sandwich will be eaten whenever she will have milk and vice versa.

Therefore, this scenario shows perfect complements.

What was the intrinsic value of SmileWhite Co. stock when the analyst was evaluating the stock (that is in year 2008)

Answers

Answer: $28.96

Explanation:

Using the Dividend discount model, the intrinsic value will be a sum of the present values of the dividends in addition to the present value when the dividends become constant.

First use CAPM to calculate the required return

= Risk free rate + Beta * (market return - risk free rate)

= 4.5% + 1.15 * (14.5% - 4.5%)

= 16%

The required return will be used to discount the dividends.

2009 dividends = 1.72 * 1.12 = $1.93

2010 = 1.93 * 1.12 = $2.16

2011 = 2.16 * 1.12 = $2.42

Dividends grow at 9% from 2011

Stock terminal value in 2011 = (2.42 * 1.09) / (16% - 9%) = $37.68

[tex]= \frac{1.93}{1.16} + \frac{2.16}{1.16^{2} } + \frac{2.42}{1.16^{3} } +\frac{37.68}{1.16^{3}}\\\\= 28.959397679[/tex]

= $28.96
