Jane has $500 a week to spend on clothing and food. The price of clothing is $25 and the price of food is $10. The clothing and food pairs in Jane's choice set include ________ units of clothing and ________ units of food.
Answer:
12
20
Explanation:
Here are the options to this question :
A. 10, 10
B) 25, 5
C) 12; 20
D) 16, 8
If Jane buys 10 units of clothing and 10 units of food : (10 x $25) + (10 x $10) = $350. This doesn't maximise his income
If Jane buys 25 units of clothing and 5 units of food : (25 x $25) + (5 x $10) = $675. This is greater than income
If Jane buys 12 units of clothing and 20 units of food : (12 x $25) + (20 x $10) = $500. This maximises income
If Jane buys 16 units of clothing and 8 units of food : (16 x $25) + (8 x $10) = $480. This doesn't maximise his income
The United States' economy is growing at a faster rate than the economy of its trading partner, the United Kingdom. As a result, the rate of American inflation is increasing.Draw correctly labeled graphs to show how the increase in inflation will affect the supply of the U.S. dollar and demand for the British pound in the foreign exchange market.Based on the scenario, what will happen to the value of the U.S. dollar
Answer:
If the U.S. economy fast paced growth causes inflation to rise, this will make the value of the U.S. dollar go down, because more U.S. dollars will be needed to buy the same amount of goods and services (including foreign currency) since what inflation causes is a loss of purchasing power of the currency.
For this reason, international investors will demand less U.S. dollars in the foreign exchange market, including British investors.
While the supply of U.S. dollars will continue to grow (because inflation is primarily caused by a rise in the money supply) demand will continue to fall, both against the British pound, and other currency. This will further lower the value of the U.S. dollar in the foreign exchange market, while appreciating the British Pound at the same time.
Nickel Inc. bought $500,000 of 3-year, 6% bonds as an investment on December 31, 2017 for $530,000. The investment receives interest annually and Nickel uses straight-line amortization. On May 1, 2018, the issuer retired $100,000 of the bonds at 116. As a result of the retirement, Nickel will report a:
Answer:
the gain would be reported i.e. $10,778
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
The Value of 100000 bonds is
= $530,000 ÷ $500,000 × 100,000
= $106,000
Now
Premium amortization in 4 month is
= $7,000 ÷ 36 months × 4 months
= $778
Now
Carrying value on may 1, 2018 is
= $106,000 - $778
= $105,222
Now
Retirement value is
= 100,000 × 1.16
= 116,000
So,
Gain on retirement is
= 116,000 - 105,222
= $10,778
Hence, the gain would be reported i.e. $10,778

Problem 3. A company wants to forecast demand for June using a two period weighted moving average with weights of .6 (for May) and .4 (for April). Calculate the forecast for June. Jan 100 Feb 150 Mar 200 Apr 500 May 800 June
Answer:
June forecast = 680
Explanation:
Since we are required to use two period weighted moving average, the forecast for June can be calculated using the following formula:
June forecast = (April figure * Weight for April) + (May figure * Weight for May) ....... (1)
Where;
April figure = 500
Weight for April = 0.4
May figure = 800
Weight for May = 0.6
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
June forecast = (500 * 0.4) + (800 * 0.6) = 200 + 480 = 680
When trade barriers began to fall, what was the motivation for much of the foreign direct investment by non-U.S. firms
Answer:
The motivations were all the advantages that the U.S. market offers.
These advantages are many, because the U.S. is a developed country, with a very large population, and a robust legal system that protects private property, including the property of non U.S. firms that invest in the country.
For these reasons, once trade barriers began to fall, many non U.S. firms took advantage of the new opportunities, and started to invest in the U.S. market.

ear, Inc. generates a $100,000 net operating loss in the current year. Plum, Inc. generates $500,000 of taxable income. Compute the current year tax if Pear and Plum do/do not file a consolidated return.
Answer:
Consolidated=$84,000
Not consolidated= $105,000
Explanation:
Computation for the current year tax if Pear and Plum do/do not file a consolidated return.
Computation for Consolidated
Taxable income = ($500,000 - $100,000) x 21%
Taxable income =$400,000×21%
Taxable income = $84,000
Computation for Not consolidated
Not consolidated= $500,000 x 21%
Not consolidated= $105,000
Therefore the current year tax if Pear and Plum do/do not file a consolidated return will be :
Consolidated=$84,000
Not consolidated= $105,000
What is meant when economists say that the US economy has a higher safe speed limit than it had previously
Answer:
When economists say that the US economy has a higher safe speed limit than it had previously, it means that:
Overheating the US economy does not produce high inflation.
Explanation:
The US economy is being overheated through rapid economic expansions. Some of these expansions are engendered by rapid technological changes. The US government also often indulge in aggressive economic expansions by ensuring maximum employment and capacity utilization. But these measures have been found to not distort the economy with high inflation rates. As a result, an economist can conclude that "the US economy has a higher safe speed limit than it had previously."

Suppose the local government imposes an annual lump-sum tax per plant.How will the average fixed cost, average variable cost, average total cost, and marginal cost curves faced by a steel manufacturer be affected
Answer:
The Tax is a lump-sum which means that it does not change by output. It is therefore a fixed cost.
Average Fixed Cost ⇒ INCREASE
The new tax would increase the fixed costs which would lead to an increase in the average fixed costs.
Average Variable Cost ⇒ UNCHANGED
The tax is a fixed cost not a variable cost which means variable costs will not be affected.
Average Total cost ⇒ INCREASE
Fixed costs is a part of total cost and if that increases, the total cost will have to increase as well.
Marginal Cost ⇒ UNCHANGED
As the cost that changed is a fixed cost, the total cost will not change as a result of more production so marginal cost will not change.

What is dividend ?A corporation's payout of profits to its shareholders is known as a dividend. A corporation is able to distribute a portion of its profit as a dividend to shareholders when it generates a profit or surplus.
Any remaining funds are seized and reinvested in the company (called retained earnings). A corporation is typically not allowed to pay a dividend out of its capital; therefore, both the current year's profit and the retained earnings from prior years are eligible for distribution.
If the company has a dividend reinvestment plan, the amount can be paid by the issuance of more shares through share repurchase. Alternatively, distribution to shareholders can be made in cash. The distribution may occasionally consist of assets.
A shareholder's dividend is considered their own income and could be liable to income tax (see dividend tax). This income is taxed in various ways depending on the jurisdiction.
