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 1

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.

Rob consumes two goods, x and y. He has an allowance of $50 per week and is not endowed with either of the goods. If the price of good x increases and his substitution and income effects change demand in opposite directions.

a. good x must be a Giffen good.
b. good x must be an inferior good.
c. WARP is violated.
d. good x must be a normal good.
e. There is not enough information to judge whether good x is a normal or inferior good.

Answers

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Inferior good is a good whose demand decreases when income increases

The substitution effect looks at the change in price of a good relative to other goods.  When the price of good x increases, rob should increase consumption of good y and reduce that of good x if it were a normal good

The income effect looks at how a change in price affects real disposable income

PowerTrain Sports Inc. manufactures and sells two styles of All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs), the Mountain Monster and Desert Dragon, from a single manufacturing facility. The manufacturing facility operates at 100% of capacity. The following per-unit information is available for the two products:

Mountain Monster Desert Dragon
Sales price $5,400.00 $5,250.00
Variable cost of goods sold 3,285.00 3,400.00
Manufacturing margin $2,115.00 $1,850.00
Variable selling expenses 1,035.00 905
Contribution margin $1,080.00 $945.00
Fixed expenses 485 310
Income from operations $595.00 $635.00

Sales unit volume 5,000 4,850

Required:
a. Prepare a contribution margin by product report. Calculate the contribution margin ratio for each.
b. What advice would you give to the management of PowerTrain Sports Inc. regarding the relative profitability of the two products?

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. The contribution margin ratio for Mountain Monster will be:

Revenue = 5400 × 5000 = 27000000

Variable cost of goods sold = 3285 × 5000 = 16425000

Manufacturing margin = 2115 × 5000 = 10575000

Variable selling expense = 1035 × 5000 = 5175000

Contribution margin = 1080 × 5000 = 5400000

Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Revenue = 5400000/27000000 = 0.2 = 20%

The contribution margin ratio for Desert Dragon will be:

Revenue = 5250 × 4850 = 25462500

Variable cost of goods sold = 3400 × 4850 = 16490000

Manufacturing margin = 1850 × 4850 = 8972500

Variable selling expense = 905 × 4850 = 4389250

Contribution margin = 945 × 4850 = 4583250

Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Revenue = 4583250/25462500 = 0.18 = 18%

b. What advice would you give to the management of PowerTrain Sports Inc. regarding the relative profitability of the two products?

The Mountain Monster line provides the (larger) total contribution margin and the (larger) contribution margin ratio. If the sales mix were shifted more toward the (Mountain Monster) line, the overall profitability of the company would increase.

One investor is trying to derive the implied discount rate by comparing an annuity and an annuity due. Assume that the future value of the annuity is $49,081.00, and the future value of the annuity due is $52,169.00. All the other information regarding these two investments are similar, what's the implied discount rate

Answers

Answer:

the  implied discount rate is 6.29%

Explanation:

The computation of the implied discount rate is shown below;

= (Future value of an annuity due ÷ future value of annuity) - 1

= ($52,169 ÷ $49,081) - 1

= 6.29%

Hence, the  implied discount rate is 6.29%

The endpoint method computes the percent change as a percent of the starting value.

a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer: True

Explanation:

Endpoint elasticity measures the price change and demand during the endpoint of the change. It uses a simple formula for the calculation of the price and the demand relationships. The formula is:

= (D2 - D1)/D1 ÷ (P2 - P1)/P1

where,

D2 = new demand

D1 = initial demand

P2 = new price

P1 = initial price.

The statement that "The endpoint method computes the percent change as a percent of the starting value" is true.

Analysts estimate that a bond has a 40 percent probability of being priced at $950 and a 60 percent probability of being priced at $1,050 one year from today. The bond is also callable at any time at $1,010. What is the expected value of this bond in one year?
A) $1,000
B) $980
C) $1,010
D) $995
E) $986

Answers

Answer:

E) $986

Explanation:

The computation of the expected value of the bond in one year is shown below;

= (Probability × Price of bond) + (Probability × Callable price bond)

= (0.4 × $950) + (0.60 × $1,010)

= $986

Hence, the expected value of the bond in one year is $986

Therefore the correct option is E.

Required:
1. Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate.
2. During the year, Job P90 was started, completed, and sold to the customer for $3,900. The following information was available with respect to this job: Direct materials $ 1,794 Direct labor cost $ 1,287 Machine-hours used 86
Compute the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job P90.

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (3,760,000 / 235,000) + 2

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $18 per machine hour

Job P90:

Direct materials $ 1,794

Direct labor cost $ 1,287

Machine-hours used 86

We need to allocate overhead costs:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 18*86= $1,548

Total manufacturing costs= 1,548 + 1,794 + 1,287

Total manufacturing costs= $4,629

An accurate assessment of a company's cost structure and customer value proposition requires that managers Multiple choice question. examine current accounting data. evaluate the specific value chain activities under their control. understand the value system for the entire industry. separate their activities from those of their distribution channel allies.

Answers

Answer:

understand the value system for the entire industry.

Explanation:

An industry value chain can be defined as a physical representation of all of the activities and processes undertaken by a company or business firm for the manufacturing of goods and services, especially starting with the purchase of raw materials, manufacturing of finished goods and then ending with the delivery of the finished goods (products) to the market and consumers through a supply chain.

Generally, an accurate assessment of a company's cost structure and customer value proposition requires that managers completely understand the value system for the entire industry.

This ultimately implies that, a manager must ensure that the industry value chain comprises of the costs, margins of suppliers, value-creating activities and processes, and forward channel partners (allies).

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.  

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator  

Only projects with a positive NPV should be accepted. A project with a negative NPV should not be chosen because it isn't profitable.  

When choosing between positive NPV projects, choose the project with the highest NPV first because it is the most profitable.

Project A  

Cash flow in year 0 = -$110,000

Cash flow in year 1 - 5 =  $20,000

Cash flow in year 6 = $20,000 +  $8,600 = 28,600

I = 16%

NPV = $-32775.48

Project B  

Cash flow in year 0 = -$110,000

Cash flow in year 1 - 5 =  $68,000

Cash flow in year 6 = $68,000 + $110,000 = $178,000

I = 16%

NPV = $185,710.69

Project B should be chosen because its NPV is positive

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

Lease Plan Effectively Manages DiversityThe term, glass ceiling, was used to represent an absolute barrier or solid roadblock that prevented women from advancing to higher-level positions. The ceiling resulted in women finding themselves stuck in lower-level jobs, ones that did not have profit and loss responsibility, and jobs with less visibility, power, and influence. This scenario is changing. This case illustrates the impact motivated leadership and changing company policies can have on gender diversity in the workplace. Per the United States Department of Labor, compared to women comprising 21 percent of the workforce in 1920, women comprised nearly half of the workforce in the United States in 2013, making gender diversity issues more and more important. This activity asks you to identify and apply your knowledge of such aspects of diversity.Read the case below and answer the three questions that follow.In 2003, the representatives of Lease Plan USA's top customers were mostly women, as was most the company's employees. However, men represented a large majority of top managers at the company, reflecting the old-boys network type culture that dominated the fleet industry. New leadership decided to change this and provided career counseling to women, revised reward systems to focus on performance instead of seniority, and replaced some existing managers. Two years ago, only one of seven top executives were a woman. Now, three of the top eight executives are women.The company's new chief executive claims that these changes are motivated by strategy rather than political correctness. He says, "Lease Plan doesn't build anythingOur sustainable competitive advantages are people." Lease Plan now also implements a development program catered specifically for female employees. The program includes skills assessments, career guidance, communications, brand building, and panel discussions with female executives from other companies.Lease Plans efforts have yielded very positive results in a short period. For example, a 2006 survey showed that 35 percent of women agreed that "management supports my efforts to manage my career," which was improved the following year to 47 percent. A growing percentage of women also feel that their opportunities are growingincreased to 30 percent from 22 percent.Gerri Patton, Director of Client Activation, says the program helped her become more confident and outspoken. The 23-year Lease Plan veteran encourages her female subordinates to apply. "I wish I would have done that program 10 or 15 years ago," she says. "There's no telling where I would be...The sky would've been the limit."After reading the case please answer three multiple questions below:1) According to Eagly and Carli, and also supported by subsequent data analysis by the textbook authors, women have broken through the glass ceiling. Based on what you have read in the case, which of the following trends in gender diversity appears to be most supported by the outcomes of Lease Plans program changes?Educational attainmentwomen earned the majority of bachelors and masters degrees from 2006 through 2012.Increases in seats on boards of directorsin Fortune 550 firms up to 16.6 percent in 2013 from only 9.6 percent in 1995.Leadership positionsin educational institutions in 2010, women represented 18.7 percent of college presidents and 29.9 percent of board members.Court Appointmentsin federal court in 2013, women received 32 percent and 30 percent respectively of appointments to federal courts of appeals and US district court judge positions.None of these2) Which of Thomass generic action options for managing diversity is most illustrated in the case?suppressisolatedenyinclude/excludetolerate3) Based on the information in the case, which of the following barriers and challenges to managing diversity that were identified in the text appear to have been present at Lease Plan?an unsupportive or hostile work environmentpoor career planninglack diversity in senior managementinaccurate stereotypesdifficulty in balancing career and family issues Cierto o falso?Guayaquil's official song is called Cancin al nueve de octubre.TrueFalse What group of numbers are 1, 3, 9, 27 What is the slope of the line formed by (7,1) and (-3,3)?
