Japanese officials are considering a new tariff on imported pork products from the United States in an attempt to reduce Japan’s reliance on U.S. pork. Due to political pressure, the U.S. International Trade Representative’s (ITR) office is also considering a new tariff on imported steel from Japan. Officials in both Japan and the U.S. must assess the social welfare ramifications of their tariff decisions. Reports from a reliable think-tank indicate the following: If neither country imposes a new tariff, social welfare in Japan’s economy will remain at $4.8 billion and social welfare in the United States will remain at $44 billion. If both countries impose a new tariff, welfare in the United States declines 0.5 percent to $43.78 billion and welfare in Japan declines by 0.8 percent to $4.76 billion. If Japan does not impose a tariff but the United States does, projected welfare in Japan is $4.66 billion while welfare in the United States is $44.2 billion. Finally, if the U.S. does not impose a tariff but Japan does, welfare is projected at $43.66 billion in the United States and $4.85 billion in Japan. Determine the Nash equilibrium outcome when policy makers in the two countries simultaneously but independently make tariff decisions in a myopic (one-shot) setting. Is it possible for the two countries to improve their social welfare by "agreeing" to different strategies? Explain

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The following is the Nash equilibrium between the United States and the Japanese Nation, as well as the payoff:

                                                                     Japanese Nation

                                               Tariff (billion)              No Tariff (billion)

                          Tariff                 $43.78 , $4.76             $44.2 , $4.66

United States            

                         No Tariff            $43.66 , $4.85            $44 , $4.8

From the Nash equilibrium; the United States implements Tariffs and the Japanese Nation also implements Tariff with the outcome ($43.78, $4.76) as the dominant strategy each for the United States and Japanese Nation:

(to implement tariff).

By agreeing to adopt No tariff, the two nations may be able to increase their social welfare.

On the other hand, the decision to implement no tariffs relies on the event being performed indefinitely,  thereby utilizing trigger methods when the interest rate is very low.

Schell Company manufactures automobile floor mats. It currently has two product lines, the Standard and the Deluxe. Suppose that Schell has conducted further research into its overhead and potential cost drivers. As a result, the company has compiled the following detailed information, breaking total overhead into three cost pools:
Activity Cost Pools Cost Driver Cost Assigned to Pool Quantity/Amount Consumed by Standard Floor Mat Line Quantity/Amount Consumed by
Deluxe Floor Mat Line
Material handling
Number of moves

Total Overhead Assigned
3. Determine the amount of overhead Schell will assign to the Deluxe product line. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
Total Overhead Assigned

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1. The activity rate for each cost pool is

Material handling ($2,300) ÷ (50 + 50) = $23.00

Quality Control ($8,763) ÷ ($570  + 700) = $6.90

Machine Maintenance ($14,360)  ÷ (3,090 + 4,090) = $2.00

2    

Total overhead assigned to the standard floor mat line is

= $23 × 40 + $6.9 × 570 + $2 × 3,090

= $1,150 + $3,933 + $6,180

= $11,263.00

3    

Total overhead assigned to deluxe product line

= $23 × 50 +  $6.9 × 700 + $2 × 4,090

= $1,150 + $4,830 + $8,180

= $14,160.00

Business rules are helpful to all types of organizations, as they classify an organization's objective, they are a guide that specifies the running of business everyday activities as they clearly show every detail. Business rules provide the best approach to business operations. Business rules allow the designer to know the scope of the data, as the designer would get to know the data stored in the database. From the question above, It is also true that some business rules act as a communications tool between users and designers, as the users get to have an understanding of what is needed, and the designers would also get to know their own role. Business rules must be simplified for everyone in an organization so the rules could be interpreted by everyone, and be followed too.

The desired ending cash balance is $30,600. To attain its desired ending cash balance for January, the company should borrow:

Answers

Answer:

Company should borrow = $15200

Explanation:

Below is the calculation for the borrowing amount:

Cash balance at the beginning = $18600

Add - Cash receipts = 186000

Less- Cash disbursements = (189200)

Budgeted cash balance = 18600 + 186000 - 189200 = 15400

Borrowing will be = Ending cash - 15400

Borrowing will be = 30600 - 15400

Borrowing will be = $15200

Company should borrow = $15200

how van an oligopoly cause market failure (8)​

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

An oligopoly can cause market failure because companies that form the oligopoly do not allow other companies to enter and compete in the market. This action limits consumers to choose from a variety of options, including quality, the best price, and service.

Often, oligopoly associates the strongest or more powerful companies in order to wipe out other minor competitors. They want to establish a dominant presence that affects prices and consumers participation.

Oligopoly practices result in inefficiency and instability in the market. That is why oligopolies are not good for the economy.

The automobile industry is mostly associated with an oligopoly.

When a market is controlled by just a few numbers of companies, but none of them is above the others, we are talking about an oligopoly. They can collude intentionally or not, to establish prizes and to not let other companies compete with them.

Francisco leased equipment from Julio on December 31, 2021. The lease is a 10-year lease with annual payments of $159,000 due on December 31 of each year beginning December 31, 2021. The present value of the lease payments is $1,006,192. Francisco's incremental borrowing rate is 14% for this type of lease. The implicit rate of 12% is known by the lessee. What should be the balance in Francisco lease liability at December 31, 2022

Answers

Answer: $789855

Explanation:

Initial liability = $1,006,192

Less: Payment = $159,000

Liability = $847192

× Implicit rate 12%

Interest = 12% × $847192 = $101663

Then, reduced balance will be:

= Payment - Interest

= $159,000 - $101663

= $57337

Therefore, Francisco lease liability at December 31, 2022 will be:

= $847192 - $57337

= $789855

Birmingham Bolt, Inc., has been approached by one of its customers about producing 800,000 special-purpose parts for a new home product. The customer wants 100,000 parts per year for eight years. To provide these parts, Birmingham would need to acquire a $500,000 new production machine. The new machine would have no salvage value at the end of its eight-year life. The customer has offered to pay Birmingham $7.50 per unit for the parts. Birmingham’s managers have estimated that, in addition to the new machine, the company would incur the following costs to produce each part:

Direct labor $2.00
Direct material $2.50
Variable 2.00
Total $6.50

In addition, annual fixed out-of-pocket costs related to the production of these parts would be $20,000.

a. Compute the net present value of the machine investment, assuming that the company uses a discount rate of 9 percent to evaluate capital projects.
b. Based on the NPV computed in (a), is the machine a worthwhile investment? Explain.
c. In addition to the NPV, what other factors should Birmingham’s managers consider when making the investment decision?

Answers

Answer:

Birmingham Bolt, Inc.

a. The net present value of the machine investment = ($57,214.47).

b. Based on the computed NPV in (a), the machine is not a worthwhile investment.  Birmingham will lose $57,214.47 from the investment.

c. In addition to the NPV, the other factors that Birmingham’s managers  should consider when making the investment decision are:

1. the probability of reducing the variable costs per unit of production by achieving productivity efficiencies.

2. whether the price could be reviewed upward with the customer.

3. whether there will be increased demand for the product in the future.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Special-purpose parts for a new home product = 800,000 parts

Annual requirement of the parts = 100,000

Period of contract = 8 years

Discount rate = 9%

Initial investment in production machine = $500,000

Price offer per part = $7.50

Annual sales revenue from parts = $750,000

Variable costs;

Direct labor      $2.00

Direct material $2.50

Variable           $2.00

Total                $6.50                     $650,000

Contribution margin                      $100,000

Annual fixed costs                          $20,000

Annual net cash inflow                  $80,000

PV of annual cash inflows = $442,785.53

NPV = ($57,214.47) ($442,785.53 - $500,000)

N (# of periods)  8

I/Y (Interest per year)  9

PMT (Periodic Payment)  80000

FV (Future Value)  0

Results

PV = $442,785.53

Sum of all periodic payments = $640,000.00

Total Interest = $197,214.47

c. If the price of backpacks rose by 20% the quantity demanded would fall by _______ and revenue for the backpack industry would ________.

Answers

Answer:

elastic

16%

32%

decrease

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price  

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.  

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.  

Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases  

Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.

f. If $16,000 of dividends had been declared and paid during the year, what was the January 1, 2019, balance of retained earnings?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of the total current asset is shown below

= Account receivable + cash + supplies + merchandise inventory

= $33,000 + $9,000 + $6,000 + $31,000

= $79,000

b The total liabilities and owners equity is

= Account payable + long term debt + common stock + retained earnings

= $23,000 + $40,000 + $10,000 + $59,000

= $132,000

c. The earnings from operations is

Sales revenue $140,000

Less cost of goods sold $90,000

Gross profit $50,000

add: service revenue $20,000

Less depreciation expense $12,000

Less supplies expense $14,000

Operating income $44,000

d. The net income is

Holtzman Clothiers's stock currently sells for $38 a share. It just paid a dividend of $1.5 a share (i.e., D0 = $1.5). The dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 4% a year.

Required:
a. What stock price is expected 1 year from now?
b. What is the required rate of return?

Answers

Answer:

b 6.87%

a 56.53

Explanation:

according to the constant dividend growth model

price = d1 / (r - g)

d1 = next dividend to be paid

r = cost of equity

g = growth rate

38 = (1.5 x 1.04) / (r - 0.04)

38 (r - 0.04) = 1.092

r - 0,04 = 0.0287

r = 6.87%

1.5 x (1.04^2) / 6.87 - 4 = 56.53

Emily and Betsey are economists. Emily thinks that the wealthiest 10 percent of the U.S. population should be taxed a rate higher than the rest of society because they can better afford it. Betsey thinks that everyone should be taxed at the same rate because that is the fairest scenario and the wealthy should not be penalized for their success. In this example, Emily and Betsey:______

Answers

Answer: b. have different normative views about tax policy.

Explanation:

Economists follow different theories and principles on how the world should be so most times they will disagree with each other on key issues such as taxation and government intervention in markets.

Emily and Betsy both believe in different taxation policies which means that they have different views on how people should be taxed in an economy with one of them believing in a proportional tax regime (Betsey) and the other believing in a progressive tax regime (Emily).

Mercury Company has only one inventory pool. On December 31, 2021, Mercury adopted the dollar-value LIFO inventory method. The inventory on that date using the dollar-value LIFO method was $201,000. Inventory data are as follows:


Year Ending Inventory at Year-End Costs Ending Inventory at Base Year Costs
2019 $260,400 $248,000
2020 347,300 302,000
2021 350,400 292,000

Required:
Compute the inventory at December 31, 2019, 2020, and 2021, using the dollar-value LIFO method.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The cost index can be calculated as follows:

In 2019:

= 260400/248000

= 1.05

In 2020:

= 347300/302000

= 1.15

In 2021:

= 350400/292000

= 1.2

Inventory Layers converted to the base cost

12/31/20   201000            ÷        1               =           201000

12/31/20  260400            ÷        1.05          =           248000

12/31/20   347300            ÷        1.15           =            302000

12/31/20    350400           ÷        1.2            =            292000

As you move from job shop towards continuous process: A. Your capital intensity decreases B. Your volume decreases C. Your customization ability decreases D. Your throughput decreases E. None of the above

Answers

Answer: C. Your customization ability decreases.

Explanation:

Job Shops are able to customize products and services because they manufacture products on a small scale and usually for individual job orders whereas continuous processing is more large scale and the products are more homogeneous.

As one move from a job shop to a continuous process, they will find that they would be unable to customize products as much as they could before because they would be producing a higher volume of goods and so would not have the time to be customizing the products as much.
