Suppose that Dmitri, an economist from a research institute in Texas, and Frances, an economist from a public television program, are arguing over saving incentives. The following dialogue shows an excerpt from their debate: Frances: I think it's safe to say that, in general, the savings rate of households in today's economy is much lower than it really needs to be to sustain an improvement in living standards. Dmitri: I think a switch from the income tax to a consumption tax would bring growth in living standards. Frances: You really think households would change their saving behavior enough in response to this to make a difference.Because I don't. The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to _____. Depite their differences, with which proposition are two economists chosen at random most likely to agree? A. Employers should not be restricted from outsourcing work to foreign nations. B. Central banks should focus more on maintaining low unemployment than on maintaining low inflation. C. Business managers can raise profit more easily by reducing costs than by raising revenue.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Difference in scientific judgementsA. Employers should not be restricted from outsourcing work to foreign nations.

Explanation:

The difference in opinion between these two is based on a difference between in scientific judgments because they believe that different things will happen in response to implementing a different form of taxes.

Regardless of what they think in the above regard, these economists are most likely to support the outsourcing of work if it is cheaper to do so because economists generally believe that the most efficient method of production should be undertaken.

When the price of Milk is $5 per gallon consumers demand 1,000 boxes of Boo Berry Cereal. When the price of milk increases to $5.50 per gallon consumers demand 700 boxes of Boo Berry Cereal.

Required:
a. What is the percentage change in the price of milk?
b. What is the percentage change in the quantity demanded for Boo Berry Cereal?

Answers

Answer: a. 10%

b. -30%

Explanation:

a. What is the percentage change in the price of milk?

Old price = $5.00

New price = $5.50

Percentage change = ($5.50 - $5.00)/$5.00 × 100

= 0.50/5.00 × 100

= 1/10 × 100

= 10%

Percentage change on price = 10%

b. What is the percentage change in the quantity demanded for Boo Berry Cereal?

Old quantity = 1000

New quantity = 700

Percentage change = (700 - 1000)/1000 × 100

= -300/1000 × 100

= -30%

The percentage change in the quantity demanded for Boo Berry Cereal is -30%.

A company ABC has contracted a third-party logistics company XYZ. Which one of the following functions is least likely to be provided by the third-party logistics company (XYZ) to ABC?

a. inventory control
b. customer service function (e.g., storing spare parts)
c. transportation of goods
d. warehouse management
e. production of components

Answers

Answer: Warehouse management

Since the company ABC contracted a third-party logistics company XYZ, some of the functions that can be provided by the third-party logistics company (XYZ) to ABC include:

• inventory control

• customer service function (e.g., storing spare parts)

• transportation of goods

• production of components

It should be noted that performing warehouse management is very unlikely. This simply means the oversight with regards to the operations in the warehouse such as receiving inventory, tracking inventory, managing shipping etc. This should be provided by ABC and not XYZ.

Answers

Answer:

1. Indication of financial statement to refer to when answering questions in the following table:

Question                                                   Financial Statement

How profitable has the firm been?         Income Statement

dividends to its shareholders?

2. If compensation for senior management is based on short-term performance of the firm, in the short run the firm is likely to:

a. Overstate its earnings

Explanation:

Company A's Income Statement shows its profit performance at different levels.  At one level is the gross profit, which shows the difference between the net sales or service revenue and the cost of sales/service.  At another level is the operating income, which is the income before interest and taxes.  The next important level is the net income, which is the profit after taxes.  This shows the earnings available for distribution to stockholders.  The Statement of Cash Flows classifies the cash flows generated into operating, investing, and financing activities, and shows the non-cash flow adjustments.

Output from a process contains 0.02 defective units. Defective units that go undetected into final assemblies cost $25 each to replace. An inspection process, which would detect and remove all defectives, can be established to test these units. However, the inspector, who van test 20 units per hour, is paid $8 per hour, including fringe benefits. Should an inspection station be established to test all units

Answers

Answer: Inspection station should be established.

Explanation:

Cost to company if defect is not detected:

= Cost to replace * percentage defects * number of units tested per hour

= 25 * 0.02 * 20 units

= $10 per hour

Inspector is paid $8 per hour.

The fees to the inspector are less than the cost of replacement so the Inspection station should be established as it saves costs.

d. this is always a true statement
e. although true for most of the times, there are several exceptions detailed in Canadian GAAP

Answers

Answer: d. this is always a true statement

Explanation:

Accounting is very important in decision making because it provides figures that are useful in planning for the future of an investment. The information provided from accounting analysis helps us determine the amount of cashflows as well as the timing and uncertainty of same.

This is done through various formulas such as Discounted cash flow analysis and Residual income measures. Accounting is therefore invaluable to the financial industry because without it, we would stand a far worse chance of planning for business projects.

In recent years, rules have tightened such that those who work for the U.S. government in trade negotiations are now restricted from working for lobbyists for foreign firms. Take the stance of either for or against that statement. Provide justification for your stance.

Answers

Answer: For this statement.

Explanation:

People will generally offer their loyalties to those who pay them the highest or who pay them at all and companies will typically be loyal to their country of origin.

What this means is that trade negotiators who work for lobbyists of foreign firms will typically want to advance the interests of the foreign firms when negotiating trade deals for the U.S. government.

This presents a problem because the foreign companies might want to negotiate a deal that favors their own countries over the United States so if trade negotiators that are on their side are the ones negotiating for the United States, the U.S. might not get a good enough deal.

Imagine for instance, a person negotiating a trade deal for the U.S. with China but the person works for lobbyists of Huawei. It is reasonable to assume that the person would want to advance the interests of China on behalf of Huawei. Restricting such a person from negotiating for the U.S. reduces such a possibility.

Borges Machine​ Shop, Inc., has a​ 1-year contract for the production of 225,000 gear housings for a new​ off-road vehicle. Owner Luis Borges hopes the contract will be extended and the volume increased next year. Borges has developed costs for three alternatives. They are​ general-purpose equipment​ (GPE), flexible manufacturing system​ (FMS), and​ expensive, but​ efficient, dedicated machine​ (DM). The cost data​ follow: ​

General-Purpose Equipment​ (GPE) Flexible Manufacturing System​ (FMS) Dedicated Machine​ (DM)
Annual contracted units 225,000 225,000 225,000
Annual fixed cost $125,000 $225,000 $480,000
Per unit variable cost $15.00 $14.00 $13.00

The option GPE is best when the contracted volume is below:__________

Answers

Answer:

For 225,000 units FMS is the best alternative.

For GPE: TC  

GPE  

[tex]= $100,000 + ($15.00\times 225,000)\\\\= $3,475,000[/tex]

For 0 units GPE has the lowest TC. The next lowest cost is FMS.

x = ($200,000-$100,000)/($15-$14) = 100,000  

Therefore, for 0 to 100,000 units GPE is the best alternative.

Explanation:  

Formula used:-

For 225,000 units FMS is the best alternative.

Total Cost (TC) = Fixed Cost (FC) + [Variable Cost (VC) x Annual Contract Units (ACU)]  

For GPE: TC  

GPE  

[tex]= $100,000 + ($15.00\times 225,000)\\\\= $3,475,000[/tex]

For FMS: TC  

FMS  

[tex]= $200,000 + ($14.00\times 225,000)\\\\= $3,350,000[/tex]

For DM: TC  

DM  

[tex]= $480,000 + ($13.00 \times225,000)\\\\= $3,405,000[/tex]

   

For 0 units GPE has the lowest TC. The next lowest cost is FMS. Comparing these two plans, let x be the no of units when the cost of both plans is the same.  

x = ($200,000-$100,000)/($15-$14) = 100,000  

Therefore, for 0 to 100,000 units GPE is the best alternative  

Similarly comparing FMS and DM to find x, we get  

x= ($ 480,000-$ 200,000)/($14-$13) = 280,000  

So, for the 225,000 and 280,000 range, FMS is the best alrernative.  

For greater than 280,000 DM is the best alternative.  

The option GPE is best when the contracted volume is below 100,000 units  

The option FMS is best when the contracted volume is between 100,000 and 280,000 units (enter your response as a whole number)  

The option DM is best when the contracted volume is over 280,000 units (enter your response as a whole number)

Explanation:

Computation for the Work-in-Process transferred to the finished goods warehouse on April 30

Using this formula

Work-in-Process transferred to finished goods warehouse=Work-In-Process Inventory, April 1+(Direct materials used in production+Direct labor costs incurred +Manufacturing overhead costs)-Work-In-Process Inventory, April 30

Let plug in the formula

Work-in-Process transferred to finished goods warehouse=$270 + ($195 + $370 + $320) - $245

Work-in-Process transferred to finished goods warehouse=$270 +$885-$245

Work-in-Process transferred to finished goods warehouse= $910

Therefore the Work-in-Process transferred to the finished goods warehouse on April 30 is $910

In recent years, the IRS has been inundated with taxpayer calls and has redesigned its phone service as well as posting answers to frequently asked questions on its website (The Cincinnati Enquirer, January 7, 2010). According to a report by a taxpayer advocate, callers using the new system can expect to wait on hold for an unreasonably long time of 14 minutes before being able to talk to an IRS employee. Suppose you select a sample of 50 callers after the new phone service has been implemented; the sample results show a mean waiting time of 12 minutes before an IRS employee comes on line. Based upon data from past years, you decide it is reasonable to assume that the standard deviation of waiting times is 10 minutes. Use a = 0.05.

a. State the hypotheses.

b. What is the p-value (to 4 decimals)?

c. Using a = 0.05, can you conclude that the actual mean waiting time is significantly less than the claim of 14 minutes made by the taxpayer advocate

Answer:

A) Null hypothesis; H0: μ ≥ 14

Alternative hypothesis; Ha: μ < 14

B) P-value ≈ 0.0793

C) The p-value is less than the significance value and thus we will fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the evidence is not sufficient to reject the claim that the actual mean waiting time is significantly less than the claim of 14 minutes made by the taxpayer advocate

Explanation:

We are given;

Population mean time; μ = 14

Sample mean time; x¯ = 12

Population size; n = 50

Standard deviation; σ = 10

A) Let's state the hypotheses;

Null hypothesis; H0: μ ≥ 14

Alternative hypothesis; Ha: μ < 14

B) Let's first find the test statistic from the formula;

z = (x¯ - μ)/(σ/√n)

z = (12 - 14)/(10/√50)

z = -1.41

From online p-value from z-score calculator attached using; z = -1.41: α = 0.05 and one tailed hypothesis, we have;

P-value ≈ 0.0793

C) The p-value is less than the significance value and thus we will fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the evidence is not sufficient to reject the claim that the actual mean waiting time is significantly less than the claim of 14 minutes made by the taxpayer advocate

Durango Co. has cash receipts of $120,000 and total cash disbursements of $112,000. Durango Co. started with a beginning cash balance of $4,000 and desires an ending cash balance of $8,000. Durango Co. can borrow money in $1,000 increments. How much debt can Durango Co. repay and still meet its desired cash requirement?

Answers

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Form the above, we can compute Durango Co loan repayment as seen below;

= Beginning cash balance + Cash receipts - total cash disbursement

= $4,000 + $120,000 - $112,500 = 11,500

Ending cash balance = $8,000

Then,

= $11,500 - $8,000

= $2,500

It therefore means that Durango Co. can repay $2,500 and still meets its desired cash requirement

Imagine you own a food truck that sells gourmet vegan tacos. You rely on many suppliers, all of which also supply their goods to your competitors (other food trucks in the area). For some items, like paper plates and napkins, you have several suppliers. For other items, like extra-firm tofu, you rely on a single supplier. What is an industry analysis most likely to suggest?
a) The power of suppliers is relatively high for some items and relatively low for others. You should find other suppliers of extra-firm tofu so that you have a more diverse supply
b) The power of suppliers is high overall, because you have so many of them You need to consolidate to fewer suppliers, so you have more bargaining power
c) The power of suppliers is relatively low since you work with so many of them. However, you should have your tofu supplier also supply your paper plates and napkins so that you have a more diverse supply of these paper products
d) None of the above Ос.

Answers

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Because there are plenty of suppliers for some goods, the food truck owner is more powerful in this case than the suppliers. Here the power of suppliers is low

For the other goods with only a single supplier. the supplier has more powerful than the taco seller. here the power of supplier is high. If the supplier increases price, the taco seller would most likely have an inelastic demand and would be at the mercy of the supplier

thus, the  power of suppliers is relatively high for some items and relatively low for others.

A recent news story reported that the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries is expected to decrease the supply of oil next summer. Summer is traditionally a time of increased demand for oil because of vacation travel. What would be the combined effect of these two events on the summer market for gasoline?
a) an unpredictable change in the price and a decrease in the quantity
b) an unpredictable change in both the price and the quantity
c) an increase in the price and an unpredictable change in the quantity
d) an increase in the price and the quantity

Answers

Answer:

Option "C" is the answer.

Explanation:

Option "C" is the answer.

The decrease in the supply of oil will shift the supply curve leftwards. Similarly, the increases in the demand will shift the demand curve rightwards. The leftwards shift in the supply and rightward shift in the demand curve will result in an increase in price but the change in quantity can not be predicted because the magnitude of change will depend on the shift in the curves.

Martin Company manufactures a powerful cleaning solvent. The main ingredient in the solvent is a raw material called Echol. Information concerning the purchase and use of Echol follows:

Purchase of Echol Echol is purchased in 15-gallon containers at a cost of $115 per container. A discount of 2% is offered by the supplier for payment within 10 days, and Martin Company takes all discounts. Shipping costs, which Martin Company must pay, amount to $130 for an average shipment of 100 15-gallon containers of Echol.

Use of Echol The bill of materials calls for 7.6 quarts of Echol per bottle of cleaning solvent. (Each gallon contains four quarts.) About 5% of all Echol used is lost through spillage or evaporation. In addition, statistical analysis has shown that every 41st bottle is rejected at final inspection because of contamination.

Required:
a. Compute the standard purchase price for one quart of Echol.
b. Compute the standard quantity of Echol (in quarts) per salable bottle of cleaning solvent.
c. Using the data from (1) and (2) above, prepare a standard cost card showing the standard cost of Echol per bottle of cleaning solvent.

Answers

Answer: a. $1.90

b. 8.2 quarts

c. $15.58

Explanation:

a. Compute the standard purchase price for one quart of Echol.

Cost per 15 gallon container = $115

Less: Cash discount= 2% × $115 = $2.30

Net cost = $115 - $2.30 = $112.70

Add: Shipping cost = $139/100 = $1.30

Total cost = $112.70 + $1.30 = $114

Number of quarts per container = (15 × 4) = 60

Standard cost per quart = $114/60 = $1.90

b. Compute the standard quantity of Echol (in quarts) per salable bottle of cleaning solvent.

Content per bill of materials = 7.6 quart

Add: Allowance for evaporation and spillage = 8.0 - 7.6 = 0.4 quart

Add: Allowance for rejected unit = 8.0/40 = 0.2 quarts

Standard quantity of Echol per salable bottle of cleaning solvent = 7.6 + 0.4 + 0.2 = 8.2 quarts

c. Using the data from (1) and (2) above, prepare a standard cost card showing the standard cost of Echol per bottle of cleaning solvent.

This will be:

= 8.2 quart × $1.90 per quart

= $15.58

The marginal seller is the seller who Group of answer choices cannot compete with the other sellers in the market. would leave the market first if the price were any lower. can produce at the lowest cost. has the largest producer surplus.

Answers

Answer:

would leave the market first if the price were any lower.

Explanation:

Utility can be defined as any satisfaction or benefits a customer derives from the use of a product or service.

Thus, any satisfaction or benefits a customer derives from the use of a product or service is generally referred to as a utility.

In Economics, The law of diminishing marginal utility states that as the unit of a good or service consumed by an individual increases, the additional satisfaction he or she derives from consuming additional units would start decreasing or diminishing as the units of good or service consumed increases.

A marginal seller refers to an individual or business firm that is most willing to sell his or her goods and services at a price that is typically equal to their economic cost while forfeiting producer surplus.

A producer surplus is the amount a buyer is willing to pay for a good minus the cost of producing the good.

Hence, a marginal seller is the seller who would leave the market first if the price were any lower.
