If the spending power of NAFTA consumers increased to $7.5 trillion and the NAFTA share changed to 17.5% of all combined spending power of NAFTA and the European Union, what is the increased spending power of the EU? Round to the nearest tenth of a trillion dollars
Answer: $35.3 trillion
Explanation:
NAFTA Spending power = $7.5 trillion
The spending power of the European Union will be denoted by E while the combined spending power will be denoted by E + N.
N = 17.5% of (E + N)
N = 17.5 / 100 (E + N)
100N = 17.5E + 17.5N
100N - 17.5N = 17 5E
82.5N = 17.5E
E = 4.7N
E = 4.7(7.5)
E = $35.3 trillion

________ is the process of going from present value to future value, whereas ________ is finding the present value of some future amount.
Answer:
Compounding
Discounting
Explanation:
Compounding is simply the process of moving forward or forsight along the timeline to know,get or determine a cash flow's value in the future that is its future value. If you must calculate a cash flow's future value, you must compound it. It is also said to be the converting from a earlier point to a later. It simply do not have to be future, but maybe/actually moving forward.it uses future value.
Discounting is the process of finding the approximate value today of a future cash flow . For one to calculate the value of a future cash flow at an earlier point in time, we must discount it. It is simply the converting of money from later point to earlier point. That is moving backwards.
Compounding is the process of going from present value to future value, whereas discounting is finding the present value of some future amount.
What is discounting and compounding?Compounding:
Compounding is merely defined as the process of moving forward or foresight along the timeline to know, get or ascertain a cash flow's value in the future that is its future value.
If a person need to compute the future value of a cash flow, he/she must compound it, and It's also referred to as converting from one point to another.
It doesn't have to be in the future, but it should be moving ahead and makes advantage of future worth.
Discounting:
Discounting is defined as the process of detecting the nearest value today of a future cash flow.
We must discount a future cash flow in order to evaluate its worth at a later point in time, and It is essentially the exchange of money from one point to another.
Therefore, the correct fill in the blanks are compounding and discounting.

MC TOOLS raw materials inventory policy is to keep in inventory 50% of next month production. Actual inventory is 260,000 pounds. May production is expected to be 510,000 units
REQUIRED:
CALCULATE DIRECT MATERIALS COST IN APRIL
Answer:
$1,143,000
Explanation:
materials per hammer = $9 x 0.5 pounds = $4.50
units sold during March = 500,000
units sold during April = 500,000 x 101% = 505,000
May's sales = 510,000
beginning inventory of finished goods in April = 190,000
beginning inventory of raw materials in April = 260,000
production schedule for April:
budgeted sales = 505,000
- beginning inventory = -190,000
+ desired ending inventory = 510,000 x 40% = 204,000
units to be produced during April = 519,000
materials required during April:
scheduled production = 519,000 hammers
raw materials required = 259,500 pounds
- beginning inventory = -260,000 pounds
+ desired ending inventory = 510,000 x 0.5 x 50% = 127,500 pounds
raw materials purchases 127,000 pounds
price per pound $9
raw materials expenditures during April = $1,143,000
Ahngram Corp. has 1,000 defective units of a product that cost $3.30 per unit in direct costs and $6.80 per unit in indirect cost when produced last year. The units can be sold as scrap for $4.30 per unit or reworked at an additional cost of $2.80 and sold at full price of $12.90. The incremental net income (loss) from the choice of reworking the units would be:________
a. $2,800.
b. $4,300.
c. $10,100.
d. ($2,800).
e. $0.
Answer:
If the units are reworked, income will increase by $5,800.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Number of units= 1,000
Sell as-is= $4.3
Rework cost= $2.8
Selling price= $12.9
Because the original cost will remain constant in both options, we will not take them into account.
Sell as-is:
Effect on income= 1,000*4.3= $4,300
Rework:
Effect on income= 1,000*(12.9 - 2.8)
Effect on income= $10,100
If the units are reworked, income will increase by $5,800.
Altug's Coffee Shop decides to install an automatic coffee vending machine outside one of its stores to reduce the number of people standing in line inside. Mehmet Altug charges $3.50 per cup. However, it takes too long for people to make change. The service time is a constant 1.50 minutes, and the arrival rate is 30 per hour (Poisson distributed).
a. The average wait time in the line _____minutes (round your response to two decimal places).
b. The average number of customers waiting in the line _____ customers (round your response to three decimal places)
c. Mehmet raises the price to? $5 per cup and takes 30 seconds off the service time?
However, because the coffee is now so expensive, the arrival rate drops to 24 per hour. The average wait time in the line _____minutes (round your response to two decimal places). The average number of customers waiting in the line _____ customers ?(round your response to three decimal places.
Answer:
a. Mean arrival rate = λ = 30
Service rate = μ= 60/1.50 = 40
Average wait time = λ / 2μ(μ - λ)
Average wait time = 30 / 2*40*(40-30)
Average wait time = 0.0375
The average wait time in minutes = 0.0375 hrs * 60 minutes = 2.25 minutes
b. The average number of customers = Lq = λ² / 2μ(μ - λ)
= 30² / 2*40*(40-30)
= 1.125
= 1.13
c. μ = 60 / (1.50−0.5) = 60
Average wait time = λ / 2μ(μ - λ)
Average wait time = 24 / 2*60*(60-24)
Average wait time = 0.0069
The average wait time in minutes = 0.0069 hrs * 60 minutes = 0.414 minutes
The average number of customers = Lq = λ² / 2μ(μ - λ)
= 24² / 2×60×(60−24)
= 0.1333
= 0.133

If the government regulates a natural monopolist to produce the allocatively efficient level of output, it will require the monopolist to set a price that is:
a. equal to its marginal cost and grant a subsidy to cover the loss
b. equal to its average total cost and levy a tax on the excess profit
c. greater than its marginal cost and levy a tax on the excess profit
d. greater than its marginal cost but that minimizes the deadweight loss
e. greater than its average total cost but that minimizes the deadweight loss
Answer:
a. equal to its marginal cost and grant a subsidy to cover the loss
Explanation:
In a competitive market there is allocative efficiency non fixing of prices.
The price of commodity is equal to it's marginal cost.
A socially optimal level of output is produced thereby demand will equal marginal cost.
A monopolist however will not set price that is equal to marginal cost normally. Instead they will less goods at a higher cost and charge higher price on it.
If a government wants to regulate a monopoly the best option will be for the monopolist to set a price equal to its marginal cost and government grant a subsidy to cover the loss

Anderson Co. issued a $40,216, 60-day, discounted note to National Bank. The discount rate is 10%. At maturity, assuming a 360-day year, the borrower will pay:_____.a. $40,216.b. $39,546.c. $40,886.d. $49,500.
Answer:
a. $40,216
Explanation:
Discounted Loan note does not have any periodic interest payment obligation. It is issued at a discounted value that gradually accumulates the face value of the loan note at the time of maturity.
Issuance price can be calculated as follow
Discounted value = Face value / ( 1 + periodic interest rate )^ numbers of periods
Placing values in the formula
Discounted values = $40,216 / ( 1 + 10%/360 )^60
Discounted values = $39,551.38
After 60 days accreud interest will be
Interest = $39,551.38 x ( ( 1 + 10%/360 )^60 - 1 ) = $664.62
Borrower will pay = $39,551.38 + $664.42 = $40,216
Which of the following statements regarding the differences between management and leadership is not true
Incomplete question. The options read;
a. A manager always has the ability to influence others; a leader may not.
b. A manager has a formal title and authority.
c. A leader may either be a manager or a nonmanager.
d. All managers perform four major functions: planning, organizing, leading, and controlling.
Answer:
c. A leader may either be a manager or a nonmanager.
Explanation:
it is not true that a leader may be either be a manager or a nonmanager as the very essence of leading involves managing/motivating others into action.
Hence, a leader should have the ability to manage people, although having the ability to manage does not mean that a leader would always have the ability to influence others, because others may easily refuse to be influenced by a leader than when dealing with a manager.
Suppose a State of California bond will pay $1,000 eight years from now. If the going interest rate on these 8-year bonds is 5.4%, how much is the bond worth today?
a. $651.60
b. $684.18
c. $718.39
d. $754.31
e. $792.02
Answer: $651.60
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that a State of California bond will pay $1,000 eight years from now and that the going interest rate on these 8-year bonds is 5.4%.
The worth of the bond today will then be:
FV = $1000
N = 8
I/Y = 5.4% = 0.054
We would use the formula:
= FV / (1+r)^(-N)
= $1000 / (1+0.054)^8
= $651.60
Firms are more likely to accept a special order for one of their products at a reduced price if: ________
a. Excess capacity exists
b. The order is small
c. The buyer plans to compete in the markets of the firm's regular customers
d. All costs are variable
Answer:
a. Excess capacity exists
Explanation:
The law of supply states that, all things being equal (ceteris paribus), an increase in the price of product or service causes an increase in the quantity of the product that will be supplied. An increase in price causes the supply curve to slope upward, therefore, giving producers of goods and service providers, an incentive to supply more quantity of their products and vice-versa.
Also, the demand for goods and services has an effect on the quantity of goods and services provided by the producers or suppliers, all things being equal. Hence, an increase in the demand for a product would result in an increase in price, thereby causing the producers to supply more quantity in order to maximize profits.
For instance, an electronic gadget company will manufacture more television sets if the price of those television increase.
Hence, firms are more likely to accept a special order for one of their products at a reduced price if excess capacity exists.
This ultimately implies that, when a company has more goods in its inventory or its stocks are in excess, the company will be willing to accept special orders from its customers.
Suppose you want to save in order to purchase a new boat. Take the APR to be 4.8%. You want to have $13,000 toward the purchase of a boat in three years. How much do you need to deposit each month
Answer:
Monthly deposit= $336.46
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Future Value (FV)= $13,000
Number of periods= 12*3= 36 months
Interest rate= 0.048/12= 0.004
To calculate the monthly deposit, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (13,000*0.004) / [(1.004^36) - 1]
A= $336.46

Answer:
True
Explanation:
A loan commitment of $4.43 million with an up-front fee of 60 basis points and a back-end fee of 35 basis points. The take-down on the loan is 40 percent. Calculate the total fees you will pay on this loan commitment.
Answer:
Total fees paid = $2,700,085
Explanation:
Given:
Loan Amount = $4,430,000
Up-Front basis fee = 60 points
Back-end fee = 35 points
Take down = 40 %
Computation:
Up-Front basis fee = $4,430,000 x 0.0060
Up-Front basis fee = $26,580
Back-end fee = $4,430,000 x 0.0035
Back-end fee = $15,505
Take down amount = $4,430,000 x 40%
Take down amount = $1,772,000
So
Total fees paid = [$4,430,000 - $1,772,000] + $26,580 + $15,505
Total fees paid = $2,700,085
A positive externality a. results in an optimal level of output. b. is a benefit to the producer of the good. c. is a benefit to someone other than the producer and consumer of the good. d. is a benefit to the consumer of the good.
Answer:
c. is a benefit to someone other than the producer and consumer of the good.
Explanation:
In the production process an externality is the effect of the activities not the business on the society. This can be positive or negative.
A positive externality is one in which the consumption not a produced good results in benefit to a third party other than the producer or consumer.
For example if car buyers decide to walk more often than drive it will reduce pollution in the society. This is a positive benefit to the society at large.

You know that the return of Cullumber Cyclicals common shares is 1.0 times as sensitive to macroeconomic information as the return of the market. If the risk-free rate of return is 2.40 percent and market risk premium is 5.71 percent, what is Cullumber Cyclicals’ cost of common equity capital?
Answer:
8.11%
Explanation:
Cullumber Cyclicals beta = 1 since its sensitive to macroeconomic information (the whole market) is 1.
cost of equity (Re) = risk free + (beta x market premium)
Re = 2.4% + (1 x 5.71%) = 2.4% + 5.71% = 8.11%
Since the beta is 1, this specific stock should perform exactly like the market.
Graduating from college two years ago, Marshall lives a solidly middle-income lifestyle. He’s paying his student loans, his rent, and all of his other expenses on-time. He has 6 credit cards open already, each of which he signed up for because of introductory perks like 0% interest for the first year, free airline miles, and 20% off his first month’s purchases at his favorite store. He pays his full balance each month and stops using the card once the initial features expire. He wants to open a 7th card that’s offering free one-way flights to the Caribbean; he has enough money saved to pay for the return flight and other aspects of the vacation.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
You forgot to include the question. Here we just have a statement, but no question at all.
Maybe you wanted to add an opinion or you need to say if this individual needs an extra credit card.
If that is the case, then we can comment on the following.
No. Marshall doesn't need an extra credit card. He already has six, another one could be a burden to his financial record.
Marshall is doing well. He lives a solidly middle-income lifestyle. He’s paying his student loans, his rent, and all of his other expenses on-time. There is no reason to incur more debt with another credit card.
Plus the fact that the other six cards pay 0% interest for the first year, free airline miles, and 20% off his first month’s purchases at his favorite store. But all of that is going to change after the first year and interests are coming.
Until today, he has been strict in paying his full balance each month and he is responsible enough to stop using the card once the initial features expire. Although he desires to take a vacation using the advantages of another credit card, he has to be disciplined and refrain to get it. Six cards are too many for the way of life and the job he has. The moment he loses control of the use of the credits and gets into debt, plus interests, problems are going to raise.
