Answer:
Longer periods of unemployment for their workers.
Explanation:
Unemployment is when people who are willing and able work do not have jobs
Types of unemployment
structural unemployment is an unemployment that occurs as a result of changes in the economy. These changes can be as a result of changes in technology, polices or competition. Structural unemployment tends to be permanent.
Frictional unemployment: the period of time a person is unemployed from the period he leaves his current job and the time he gets another job. Eg. when a real estate agent who leaves a job in Texas and searches for a similar, higher-paying job in California.
Voluntary unemployment: e.g. worker at a fast-food restaurant who quits work and attends college.
Cyclical unemployment: it occurs as a result of fluctuations in the economy. Unemployment would be high in a downturn and low in a boom
If a government gives generous unemployment insurance programs, there would be less incentive to find jobs because one of the main reasons why people would want to work is to have money. If the government provides generous pay to the unemployed, there would be less motivation to work and unemployment increases

In its 2001 annual report, investors of Adelphia Communications were startled to find a footnote to its financial statements that reported the company had guaranteed as much as $2.7 billion in loans to a private entity owned by CEO John Rigas and his family. As a result of the footnote, Adelphia lost more than 50 percent of its market value in little more than a week.
Required:
Explain why you think the market value of Adelphia fell so dramatically with the footnote disclosure that the company had guaranteed loans to an entity owned by the company's CEO and his family
Answer:
Explanation:
The transaction of $2.7 billion as a loan lender to a private corporation controlled by the CEO John Rigas plus his family suggests a significant likelihood of asset theft and fraudulent activity. The misappropriation of assets is a sign of a company's financial instability. It implies that people in charge of administration are not using the firm's profits to maximize shareholders' wealth, but rather are advancing the interests of only one shareholder.
As soon as the news reaches the investors, a reasonable investor would sell his stock holdings and divest from the firm. As a result of the bulk of investors' divestment, stock prices have dropped by more than 50% in a week in Adelphia Communications.
WatchNU is a company that designs and manufacturers drones for military use. The supply manager is getting ready to renegotiate the contract with the security service provider that it uses for its offices and manufacturing plant. Three suppliers responded to the RFP for security services for the next three years. The current security services provider, SecureIT quoted $945,000 per year. Two suppliers that have not been used by WatchNU in the past quoted $1,048,000 and $1,056,000 respectively. The supply manager is also analyzing the costs associated with insourcing security services rather than using a supplier as a way to reduce costs and provide greater control over security. The salary and benefits for a full-time security services manager is estimated to be $99,000. Other fixed costs are estimated to be $29,000/year. Three security guards are needed 24 hours/day, 365 days per year. The salary and benefits for the security guards is $34/hour.
Required:
What are the costs to insource the security services?
Answer:
Variable Cost $893,520
Fixed Cost $128,000
Total Cost $1,021,520
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the costs to insource the security services
VARIABLE COST
Using this formula
Variable cost =Total Quantity of Output x Variable Cost Per Unit
Let plug in the formula
Variable cost =3* ($34/hour x 24 hours/day x 365 days per year)
Variable cost = $893,520
FIXED COST
Using this formula
Fixed cost=Salary and Benefits for a full time security service manager+Other Fixed Costs
Let plug in the formula
Fixed cost=($99,000) + ($29,000)
Fixed cost= $128,000
TOTAL COST
Using this formula
Total Cost = Variable Cost + Fixed Cost
Let plug in the formula
Total Cost=($893,520) + ($128,000)
Total Cost= $1,021,520
Therefore the costs to insource the security services will be:
Variable Cost $893,520
Fixed Cost $128,000
Total Cost $1,021,520

Purchases Budget in Units and Dollars Budgeted sales of The Music Shop for the first six months of 2010 are as follows: Month Unit Sales Month Unit Sales January 130,000 April 200,000 February 170,000 May 180,000 March 190,000 June 250,000Beginning inventory for 2010 is 40,000 units. The budgeted inventory at the end of a month is 40 percent of units to be sold the following month. Purchase price per unit is $6. Prepare a purchases budget in units and dollars for each month, January through May.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the purchase for each month, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Purchases January:
Production= 130,000
Desired ending inventory= (170,000*0.4)= 68,000
Beginning inventory= (40,000)
Total purchase in units= 158,000
Total purchase cost= 158,000*6= $948,000
Purchases February:
Production= 170,000
Desired ending inventory= (190,000*0.4)= 76,000
Beginning inventory= (68,000)
Total purchase in units= 178,000
Total purchase cost= 178,000*6= $1,068,000
Purchases March:
Production= 190,000
Desired ending inventory= (200,000*0.4)= 80,000
Beginning inventory= (76,000)
Total purchase in units= 194,000
Total purchase cost= 194,000*6= $1,164,000
Purchases April:
Production= 200,000
Desired ending inventory= (180,000*0.4)= 72,000
Beginning inventory= (80,000)
Total purchase in units= 192,000
Total purchase cost= 192,000*6= $1,152,000
Purchases May:
Production= 180,000
Desired ending inventory= (250,000*0.4)= 100,000
Beginning inventory= (72,000)
Total purchase in units= 208,000
Total purchase cost= 208,000*6= $1,248,000

Fill in the missing numbers in the following income statement:
Sales $645,000
Costs 346,500
Depreciation 97,200
EBIT $
Taxes (35%)
Net income $
Required:
a. What is the OCF?
b. What is the depreciation tax shield?
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
EBIT = Sales - Cost - Depreciation
= $645,000 - $346,500 - $97,200
= $201,300
Taxes = EBIT × 35%
= $201,300 × 35%
= $70,455
Net income = EBIT - Taxes
= $201,300 - $70,455
= $130,845
1. OCF
= Net income + Depreciation
= $130,845 + $97,200
= $228,045
2. Depreciation tax shield
= Depreciation × Tax rate
=$97,200 × 35%
= $34,020

What would be the net annual cost of the following checking accounts?
a. Monthly fee, $2.75; processing fee, 50 cents per check; checks written, an average of 30 a month. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Input the amount as a positive value.)
For this one, I got $213.
b. Interest earnings of 4 percent with a $450 minimum balance; average monthly balance, $600; monthly service charge of $20 for falling below the minimum balance, which occurs five times a year (no interest earned in these months). (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Input the amount as a positive value.)
Not sure how to do this one exactly.
Answer: $86
Explanation:
Net Annual cost is:
= Total service charge - Interest earned
Total service cost = Service charge * Number of months
= 20 * 5
= $100
Interest earned = Average monthly balance * interest rate * Remaining months
= 600 * 4% * (12 - 5 months) / 12 months
= 600 * 4% * 7/12
= $14
Net Annual cost:
= 100 - 14
= $86

name the institution that makes it possible for investors to buy and sell shares in South Africa
Answer:
Johannesburg Stock Exchange
Explanation:
An investor, who had $75,000 to contribute, was choosing between a boutique and a local shoe shop. After careful deliberation, the investor chose the boutique. In the first year, the boutique generated enough profit to pay the investor $15,000 (an agreed percentage of profits to be paid to the investor). The investor found out that if he had invested in the local shoe shop he would have received $9,000 (an agreed percentage of profits to be paid to the investor).
The investor's economic profit was:________
Answer:
$6000
Explanation:
Economic profit = accounting profit - implicit cost
Implicit cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives
accounting profit = 15,000
Implicit cost = 9000
15,000 - 9000 = $6000
If a well-diversified portfolio of stocks has an expected return of 15% when the expected return on the market portfolio is 10%, then:_____
a. Treasury bills are offering a 7% yield.
b. The portfolio beta is greater than 1.0.
c. The portfolio beta equals 1.67.
d. The investor's portfolio contains many defensive stocks.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
Systemic risk is measured by beta. The higher beta is, the higher the systemic risk and the higher the compensation demanded for by investors
Market beta is represented by 1. If a portfolio has a beta that is higher than 1, it means that it is more risky than the market portfolio and investors would demand a higher return than the market portfolio
With the CEO and driver of the company—Howard Schultz—stepping down as the company’s unquestioned leader, do you expect Starbucks to change its foreign market entry strategy in any way?
Answer:
The short answer to that is No, Starbucks will not change its foreign market entry strategy.
Explanation:
The reasons are as follows:
did Howard Schultz lose his shares when he stepped down? This is highly unlikely and according to the rules of corporate governance may depend on his contract. So stepping down as the chairman does not necessarily translate to losing control. Corporations such as Starbucks: don't just up and change direction. Strategies are usually vetted by the board of directors. Whoever the majority shareholder is (corporate person or individual) will always have a say regarding the expansion of the business. Howard Schultz has stepped down in 2018. At that time, Starbucks had a total of 28,000 stores in 77 countries. Currently, there are 15,000 in 50 countries. This reduction didn't happen because Howard stepped down but because of the recent pandemic which hit the globe in 2020.Cheers
Ken's home has a replacement value of $200,000. Ken insured the home for $150,000 under an unendorsed Homeowners 3 policy. The roof of Ken's home was damaged by a windstorm. The replacement cost of the damaged roof is $16,000. The actual cash value of the loss is $12,000. How much will Ken receive from his insurer to settle this claim
Answer: $15,000
Explanation:
Using a Homeowners 3 policy, Ken will get the higher amount out of two amounts which are:
The actual cash value of the damaged area. An amount calculated as follows:= (Amount of Insurance cover on home / 80% of Replacement Cost) * Cost of Repair to damaged area.
The actual cash value is $12,000
The second amount is:
= (Amount of Insurance cover on home / 80% of Replacement Cost) * Cost of Repair to damaged area.
= 150,000 / (80% * 200,000) * 16,000
= 0.9375 * 16,000
= $15,000
Ken will receive the higher amount of $15,000.

Suppose the economy begins with output equal to its natural level. Then there is an increase in consumer confidence and households attempt to consume more for a given level of disposable income.
answer :
Attached below
Explanation:
IS-LM modeling curves intersects and it also defines the value of r and Y where r ( rate of interest ) Y( output level )
The AS-AD modeling is in equilibrium where aggregate demand curve and short run and long run aggregate supply curves intersects each other defining P and Y
p ( price level ) , Y ( output level )
Note : Increase in aggregate demand shifts IS outward , raises interest rate and output level
Question 9 Suppose money invested in a hedge fund earns 1% per trading day. There are 250 trading days per year. What will be your annual return on $100 invested in the fund if the manager allows you to reinvest in the fund the 1% you earn each day
Answer:
1103.22%
Explanation:
The value of the investment at the end of the year assuming 250 trading days per year can be computed the future value formula provided below:
FV=PV*(1+daily return)^n
PV=initial investment=$100
daily return=reinvestment rate=1%
n=number of trading days in a year=250
FV=$100*(1+1%)^250
FV=$ 1,203.22
Annual return=( 1,203.22/$100)-1
Annual return=1103.22%
An Engel curve:________.
A. slopes upward for normal goods and downward for inferior goods.
B. slopes upward for inferior goods and downward for normal goods.
C. slopes downward for both normal and inferior goods.
D. slopes upward for both normal and inferior goods.
Answer:
A. slopes upward for normal goods and downward for inferior goods.
Explanation:
In the case of Engle curve it plots the relationship between income and demand for a good.
In the case of the normal goods, as the income rises the demand also rises while on the other hand in the case of inferior goods, the income rises the demand false
So it sloped upward for the normal goods and slop downwards for the inferior goods
The annual commissions per salesperson employed by a manufacturer of light machinery averaged $40,000 with a standard deviation of $5,000. What percent of the sales persons earn between $32,000 and $42,000?
A) 60.06%.
B) 39.94%.
C) 34.13%.
D) 81.66%.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
From the given information;
The required probability needed to carry out is P(32000<X<42000);
Given that:
mean [tex]\mu[/tex] = 40000
standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] = 5000
Using the standard normal distribution;
[tex]P(32000 <X<42000) = ( \dfrac{x - \mu}{\sigma} <Z< \dfrac{x - \mu}{\sigma})[/tex]
[tex]P(32000 <X<42000) = ( \dfrac{32000 - 40000}{5000} <Z< \dfrac{42000 - 40000}{5000})[/tex]
[tex]P(32000 <X<42000) = ( -1.6<Z<0.4)[/tex]
Here, the region of the area lies between -1.60 and 0.40
∴
P(320000 < X < 40000) = P(Z<0.40) - P(Z< -0.40)
From Z tables;
P(320000 < X < 40000) = 0.6554 -0.0548
P(320000 < X < 40000) = 0.6006
P(320000 < X < 40000) = 60.06%
At the beginning of the period, the Assembly Department budgeted direct labor of $60,500 and property tax of $26,000 for 5,500 hours of production. The department actually completed 6,800 hours of production. Determine the budget for the department, assuming that it uses flexible budgeting. $ fill in the blank 1
Answer:
Total cost= $100,800
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Property tax= $26,000
Direct labor= $60,500
Number of hours= 5,500
Property tax is a fixed cost. We need to calculate the hourly rate for direct labor:
Hourly rate= 60,500 / 5,500
Hourly rate= $11
Now, the flexible budget:
Fixed cost= 26,00
Variable cost= 11*6,800= 74,800
Total cost= $100,800
