McQuilkin and Copan adopt different positions toward capitalism and socialism. Which author is more favorable to free market capitalism
Answer:
Paul Copan
Explanation:
Dr. Robertson McQuilkin can be considered a very biblical man, and as such, would always favor socialism more than free market capitalism. His phrase "Capitalism is for freedom, socialism is for equality" and the fact that he believed in a strict following of the Bible, you make him a more socialist person.
Dr. Paul Copan is also a very religious man, but his views are less extreme than Dr. McQuilkin's. He is more pragmatic and argues in favor of religion from a more neutral or agnostic point of view. He even argues that religious beliefs and economics are not mutually exclusive.

"A couple wants to invest for the college education of their 2 children, currently ages 1 and 3. They estimate they will need to start using the funds to pay for college in 15 years. The BEST recommendation is to invest in:"
Answer: b. 10 year treasury notes
Explanation:
All options listed are backed by the US Government so the couple will not have to worry about any of these options not paying them in time for their kids to go for college.
The best option would be the 10 year Treasury notes because the other options either mature way sooner than the 15 required years ( treasury bills mature in a year) or after the required 15 years ( 20 and 30 year treasury bonds).
When the 10 year note matures in 10 years, the proceeds if not enough, can be further invested in a 5 year note thereby ensuring that the payment for college will be received in 15 years.
The demand curve for the product of a firm in a competitive market is ________, and the demand curve for the product of a monopolist is ________. Group of answer choices
Answer: Perfectly elastic; Downward sloping
Explanation:
The demand curve for the product of a firm in a competitive market is Perfectly elastic, and the demand curve for the product of a monopolist is Downward sloping.
The demand curve for products in a perfectly competitive market is a horizontal line indicating that it is perfectly elastic. The reason for this being that the demand curve is also the price that the market has decided to sell a product at and if any seller was to deviate from this price, their demand would drop.
In a Monopoly however, the demand curve to downward sloping to indicate that customers will demand more products if prices are lower. This is why monopolies usually have to reduce prices to make more revenue.
List the five ways that contractual obligations may come to an end.
Answer:
1. Fulfillment of the contractual obligations by both parties.
2. Deliberate breach of contractual terms.
3. Prior written agreement to terminate the contract at a certain time.
4.When the contractual obligations are impossible to perform by a party
5. When a party discovers fraudulent activities or deceit within the contract.
Explanation:
1. The first way that a contractual obligation can come to an end is once they have been fulfilled by both parties. Once this happens, both parties are free from the contract and no longer owe each other any other obligation.
2. Once a party begins to break the terms of the contractual agreement, this can be seen as a breach of contract. Once this happens, the other party is no longer obliged to fulfill his/her own obligations within the contract.
3. Some contracts have a written agreement that describes situations in which the contract would be terminated automatically. This could be during pre-agreed conditions such as a global economic melt-down or a pandemic. Once these conditions are present, both parties can now be free of contractual obligations.
4. Once it is noticed that the obligations are actually impossible to perform, a party will definitely have to terminate the contract.
5. Once fraudulent activities are discovered within the terms of a contract by any party, the party is free to rescind the contract at any time. This could be lies, misinformation, and other misrepresentations of items within the contract.

The amortization of bond premium on long-term debt should be presented in a statement of cash flows (using indirect approach for operating activities) as a(n):________.
A. Deduction from net income.
B. Addition to net income.
C. Financing activity.
D. Investing activity.
Answer:
Option A: deduction from net income
Explanation:
Bonds are usually known as loans and most times also as IOUs.
Most times, bonds when they are been sold at a discount or premium, the interest expense for that duration/ period will not be the same as it differ from the change in cash resulting from payment of interest expense.
And also, If premium is amortized, the interest expense that is been included in income determination is not that big like the interest paid or becoming payable in the period. Due to the cash outflow is larger than the deduction in arriving at net income, a deduction from net income is necessary to know cash provided by operating activities usually when using the indirect approach of presenting cash flows from operating activities.

Palmer Company has $5,000,000 of 15-year maturity bonds outstanding. Each bond has a maturity value of $1,000, an annual coupon of 12.0%. The bonds can be called at any time with a premium of $50 per bond. If the bonds are called, the company must pay flotation costs of $10 per new refunding bond. Ignore tax considerations ⎯assume that the firm's tax rate is zero.The company's decision of whether to call the bonds depends critically on the current interest rate on newly issued bonds. What is the breakeven interest rate, the rate below which it would be profitable to call in the bonds?
Answer:
11.6%
Explanation:
the total cost of calling the bonds = ($50 + $10) x ($5,000,000 / $1,000) = $300,000
the bonds' coupon payment = $5,000,000 x 12% = $600,000
the company should call the bonds only if it is profitable, and the savings are equal or higher than the costs
cost of calling the bonds ≤ number of years x (coupon - rate) x total bonds
$300,000 = 15 x [$600,000 - (rate x $5,000,000)]
$300,000 / 15 = $600,000 - (rate x $5,000,000)
$20,000 = $600,000 - (rate x $5,000,000)
rate x $5,000,000 = $580,000
rate = $580,000 / $5,000,000 = 0.116 = 11.6%

A. cost-of-carry is paid
B. gain on the long position equals loss on the short position
C. observed futures price equals observed spot price
D. hedgers make money
Answer:
C.
Explanation:
Convergence property strictly implies that on the delivery day the observed futures price equals the observed spot price. In the markets these two prices must converge, If this does not happen, then this creates an arbitrage opportunity which ultimately brings with it the possibility for a risk-free profit, which is the act of buying an asset and immediately selling the same asset for a higher price.
A natural monopoly exists when a single seller experiences ____________ average total costs than any potential competitor.
Answer:
lower
Explanation:
A natural monopoly appears when there are high entry costs like large infrastructure costs or economies of scale where a company can provide the products at a lower costs than others which provides a big advantage to the firm in the market and makes it difficult for any potential competitor to be able to compete. According to that, the answer is that a natural monopoly exists when a single seller experiences lower average total costs than any potential competitor as this represents a barrier for the competitor to be able to enter the market.

Answer:
9.6%
Explanation:
Tennill incorporation has an investment of $1,400,000
Sales is $4,480,000
Fixed expenses is $1,657,600
The first step is to calculate the contribution margin ratio
= 40/100×4,480,000
= 0.4×4,480,000
= 1,792,000
The variable cost can be calculated as follows
=Sales-CM
= 4,480,000-1,792,000
= 2,688,000
Net profit = Sales-Fixed cost-Variable cost
= 4,480,000-(1,657,600+2,688,000)
= 4,480,000-4,345,600
= 134,400
Therefore the ROI can be calculated as follows
= Net profit/investment × 100
= 134,400/1,400,000 × 100
=0.096×100
= 9.6%
Hence the return on investment for this year's investment opportunity considered alone is closest to 9.6%
Minor Electric has received a special one-time order for 600 light fixtures (units) at $8 per unit. Minor currently produces and sells 3,000 units at $9.00 each. This level represents 75% of its capacity. Production costs for these units are $9.00 per unit, which includes $6.00 variable cost and $3.00 fixed cost. To produce the special order, a new machine needs to be purchased at a cost of $550 with a zero salvage value. Management expects no other changes in costs as a result of the additional production. If Minor wishes to earn $850 on the special order, the size of the order would need to be:
Answer:
700 units
Explanation:
Calculation for the what the size of the order will be.
Using this formula
Unit to sell= Total additional fixed costs + desired profit / Contribution margin per unit=
Let plug in the formula
Units to sell=$550 + $850 / (8-6)
Units to sell= $1,400/2
Units to sell=700 units
Therefore the size of the order will be 700 units
Which one of the following statements is correct? A) The lessor is primarily concerned with returning the asset at the end of the lease term without incurring any additional charges. B) The lessor is primarily concerned about the use of the asset. C) If a computer manufacturer leased computers it built to others, it would be engaging in leveraged leasing. D) A firm should always purchase, rather than lease, any asset that has a projected positive salvage value at the end of the relevant period of use. E) Lessors provide a source of financing for lessees.
Answer: E) Lessors provide a source of financing for lessees.
Explanation:
A Lease is a form of financing because in financing, an entity provides funding in the form of assets whether cash or otherwise to another entity to allow them use to operate their business. The entity that was provided with funding will then pay a periodic payment as a way to pay off the funding.
This is what happens in leases. The Lessor is the owner of the asset and they lease it to the Lessee who then uses it and pays a periodic amount to the Lessor for using the asset.
The ONE correct statement about lessors, lessees, and leasing, is E) Lessors provide a source of financing for lessees.
A lease is a source of financing business activities. Returning or using the asset is not a concern of the lessor. The lessee and not the lessor engages in leveraged leasing. We cannot conclude that a firm should always purchase an asset with positive salvage value. Sometimes, a firm needs to lease its equipment or building.
Thus, the correct statement about lessors, lessees, and leasing, is Option E.

The total market value of General Motors (GM) is $10 billion. GM has a market value of $7 billion of equity and a face value of $12 billion of debt. What are the weights in equity and debt that are used for calculating the WACC? A. 0.7, 0.3 B. 0.3, 0.7 C. 0.35, 0.65 D. cannot be determined
Answer:
A
Explanation:
The market value of equity and debt are used in calculating the weights when determining WACC
Total market value = market value of debt + market value of equity
$10 billion = 7 billion + market value of debt
market value of debt = $3 billion
weight of debt = $3 billion / $10 billion =0.3
weight of equity = $7 billion / $10 billion = 0.7

Answer: GDP data that has been adjusted for changes in the price level
Explanation:
Real GDP refers to the Nominal GDP adjusted for inflation. Nominal GDP calculates the value of final goods and services in the Economy by using the price levels of that year so if inflation has occurred, comparing it to previous years would be inaccurate.
The Real GDP would use the price levels of a base year to calculate the GDP of the current year so that the effect of inflation may be negated and the real growth of the economy can be seen.
