Tariff effects: An overview
Consider two hypothetical countries, Alagir and Ertil. Both countries produce iGadgets, and the price of iGadgets is lower in Alagir than in Ertil. If Alagir and Ertil open to trade, producers in would be more likely to lobby their government for an import tariff on iGadgets in order to protect themselves from foreign competition.
Which of the following statements about the effects of the tariff compared to free trade are correct?
A. In Alagir, workers in iGadget importing companies lose their jobs.
B. In Ertil, some workers at retail and shipping companies that import iGadgets lose their jobs.
C. In Ertil, consumers pay more for the domestic iGadgets.
D. In Ertil, workers in iGadget importing companies see more jobs available to them.
E. In Ertil, producers of iGadgets are willing to expand output.
Answer:
1. If Alagir and Ertil open to trade, producers in Ertil would be more likely to lobby their government for an import tariff on iGadgets in order to protect themselves from foreign competition.
Producers in Ertil would be at a disadvantage because people in Ertil would simply buy the lower priced iGadgets from Alagir so the producers in Ertil would lobby their Government for tariffs to protect them.
2.
B. In Ertil, some workers at retail and shipping companies that import iGadgets lose their jobs.If an import tariff is imposed, people will find the goods from Alagir more expensive and so will import less. The companies who did the shipping and retail of the goods from Alagir would have to let go of some people to save costs or because they would close down.
C. In Ertil, consumers pay more for the domestic iGadgets.With tariffs to protect them, the domestic producers in Ertil can charge higher prices.
E. In Ertil, producers of iGadgets are willing to expand output.With the tariff protecting them, the producers will be willing to expand output so that they can sell more iGadgets at the new higher price.
Two methods can be used for producing solar panels for electric power generation. Method 1 will have an initial cost of $550,000, an annual operating cost of $160,000 per year, and $125,000 salvage value after its three-year life. Method 2 will cost $830,000 with an annual operating cost of $120,000. and a $240,000 salvage value after its five-year life. The company has asked you to determine which method is better, but it Wants the analysis done over a three-year planning period. The salvage value of Method 2 will be 35% higher after three years than it is after five years. If the company's minimum attractive rate of return is 10% per year, which method should the company select?
Answer:
the company should choose method 1
Explanation:
Method 1 Method 2
Initial outlay $550,000 $830,000
operating costs (years 1,2,3) $160,000 $120,000
salvage value $125,000 $324,000
we must determine which alternative has the lowest present value:
method 1 = $550,000 + $160,000/1.1 + $160,000/1.1² + $160,000/1.1³ - $125,000/1.1³ = $550,000 + $145,455 + $132,231 + $120,210 - $93,914 = $853,982
method 2 = $830,000 + $120,000/1.1 + $120,000/1.1² + $120,000/1.1³ - $324,000/1.1³ = $830,000 + $109,091 + $99,174 + $90,158 - $243,426 = $884,996

We run a delivery service, and we believe our firm has market risk equally between that of UPS and FedEx. We know the following about these 2 firms:______.
Stock Price per share # shares outstanding Market Value of Debt
UPS $65 0.7 billion $ 5 billion
FedEx $55 250 million $ 3 billion
We also have the following data on the securities of these firms:_______.
Beta E Beta D
UPS 0.8 0
FedEx 1.1 0.1
Assume that our firm has risk-free debt with market value $20 million and equity with market value $450 million. Assume that taxes are not relevant. Please estimate our firm’s equity beta
Answer:
The answer is "0.85 "
Explanation:
In order to locate a beta of the company, we must find the average beta of unlevered UPS and FedEx and find a levered beta of the company.
Price Outstanding shares(Billion) Market valu of equity(Billion) Market value of debt(billions) D/E Ratio
UPS 65 0.7 45.5 5 0.1099
FedEx 55 0.25 13.75 3 0.2182
[tex]Unlevered \ beta= \frac{levered \ beta}{(1+((1- tax rate)\times(\frac{Debt}{Equity})))}[/tex]
taxes desn't matter , given in the question so, assumed to be 0
[tex]Unlevered \ beta \ for \ UPS= \frac{0.8}{1+(1-0)\times (0.1099)}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{0.8}{1+(1)\times (0.1099)}\\\\= \frac{0.8}{1+(0.1099)}\\\\= \frac{0.8}{1.1099}\\\\=0.72[/tex]
[tex]Unlevered \ beta \ for \ FedEx= \frac{1.1}{1+(1-0)\times (0.2182)}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{1.1}{1+(1)\times (0.2182)}\\\\= \frac{1.1}{1+(0.2182)}\\\\= \frac{1.1}{1.2182}\\\\=0.90[/tex]
[tex]Average \ Unlevered \ beta = \frac{0.72+0.90}{2}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{1.62}{2}\\\\=0.81[/tex]
[tex]\text{levered beta of the delivery service firm }= unlevered \ beta \times(1+(1-taxes) \times (\frac{debt}{equity}))[/tex]
[tex]= 0.81 \times (1+(1-0)\times (\frac{20}{450})\\\\= 0.81 \times (1+(1)\times (0.04)\\\\= 0.81 \times (1+(0.04)\\\\= 0.81 \times (1.04)\\\\=0.85[/tex]

Amanda is a twenty-four year old student. For two years Amanda has been going to gym and using weight equipment, stationary bicycles, and step machines to improve muscle tone. One spring afternoon Amanda was using a weight machines in the usual way (and the way she was showed how to use it), when the machine malfunctioned causing her serious injury. The company that made the machine, Musclematic, has known for the past year that this problem existed, but the company took no steps to warn people who owned or used these machines of the problem.
If Amanda files a lawsuit against Musclematic, the company might want to seriously consider:
a. How this litigation will affect its goodwill
b. Whether or not a settlement with Amanda is a viable option
c. Whether this suit will adversely affect other business relationships
d. The costs associated with litigating this claim
e. All of the other choices
Answer:
e. All of the other choices
Explanation:
Product liability is the responsibility that a company bears for injury caused by its products as a result of a defect.
In this instance Musclematic, has known for the past year that this problem existed, but the company took no steps to warn people who owned or used these machines of the problem.
So for any injury users have they will be liable.
If Amanda files a lawsuit against Musclematic they will have to consider:
- How this litigation will affect its goodwill
- Whether or not a settlement with Amanda is a viable option
- Whether this suit will adversely affect other business relationships
- The costs associated with litigating this claim
This is because they will most likely lose the case.

Connors Corporation acquired manufacturing equipment for use in its assembly line. Below are four independent situations relating to the acquisition of the equipment. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
A. The equipment was purchased on account for $25,000. Credit terms were 2/10, n/30. Payment was made within the discount period and the company records the purchases of equipment net of discounts.
B. Connors gave the seller a noninterest-bearing note. The note required payment of $27,000 one year from date of purchase. The fair value of the equipment is not determinable. An interest rate of 10% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation.
C. Connors traded in old equipment that had a book value of $6,000 (original cost of $14,000 and accumulated depreciation of $8,000) and paid cash of $22,000. The old equipment had a fair value of $2,500 on the date of the exchange. The exchange has commercial substance.
D. Connors issued 1,000 shares of its nopar common stock in exchange for the equipment. The market value of the common stock was not determinable. The equipment could have been purchased for $24,000 in cash.
Required:
For each of the above situations, prepare the journal entry required to record the acquisition of the equipment.

The environmental protection agency of a county would like to preserve a piece of land as a wilderness area. The current owner has offered to lease the land to the county for 20 years in return for a lump-sum payment of $1.1 million, which would be paid at the beginning of the 20-year period. The agency has estimated that the land would generate $110,000 per year in benefits to hunters, bird watchers, and hikers. Assume that the lease price represents the social opportunity cost of the land and that the appropriate real discount rate is 4 percent.
a. Assuming that the yearly benefits, which are measured in real dollars, accrue at the end of each of the 20 years, calculate the net benefits of leasing the land. Should the environmental protection agency pay for this piece of land?
b. Some analysts in the agency argue that the annual real benefits are likely to grow at a rate of 2 percent per year due to increasing population and county income. Recalculate the net benefits assuming that they are correct. Should the environmental protection agency pay for this piece of land?
Answer: Check explanation
Explanation:
a. For this scenario, it should be noted that the net benefits for the land lease will be equal to the present value of the benefits that are generated. This will be the annual benefit multiplied by the present value of annuity factor. This will be:
= $110,000 x 13.59
= $1,494,900
From the calculation, we can see that the lease price is less than the present value calculated, this implies that the transaction will incur a profit and should be undertaken.
b. For the growing annuity here, the calculation will be:
= [$110,000/(4% - 2%)] x [1 - [(1 + 2%)/(1 + 4%)]²⁰]
= [$110,000/2%] × [1 - (1 + 0.02)/(1 + 0.04)²⁰]
= $5,500,000 x 0.321833005
= $1,770,081.53
The environmental agency should pay for the piece of land as the present value calculated is higher.
Note that the present value of the annuity factor for 20 years at 4% = 13.59
Tara Foods of Georgia produces a wide range of peanut butters and food extracts, but does not sell any of its output under its own brand name.Tara evidently produces __________ .
Answer:
Middlemen's brands

You are considering starting a company that manufactures racing bicycles. You are planning on financing your firm 40% equity and 60% debt. You estimate that your upfront costs will be $5M, and that you will earn an EBIT of $1M per year for the next 12 years. Lightning Bolt Bikes makes racing bicycles similar to the ones that you wish to manufacture. They have a CAPM equity beta of 1.9 and a debt to equity ratio of 0.7. The tax rate for both firms is 35%, the riskless rate is 3%, and the expected return on the S&P500 is 15%. Cost of Debt is 6%
Part A (5 points). What is the asset beta of Lightning Bolt Bikes?
Part B (5 points). What is your unlevered cost of equity?
Part C (5 points). What is your firm’s equity beta?
Part D (10 points). What is your firm’s weighted average cost of capital?
Part E (5 points). What is the NPV of your proposed bicycle company using the WACC method?
Answer and Explanation:
1. Asset beta measures company's risk or volatility of return in assets without the effect of leverage financing or debt.
Asset beta= Equity beta / 1+(1-tax rate) *debt / equity
2. Unlevered cost of equity measures the returns on assets without the effect of debt
Unlevered cost of equity = Risk free return + Asset Beta * (Expected market return - Risk free return)
3. Equity beta measures security prices' volatility to change in the market
4. Weighted average cost of capital is the weighted average cost or average cost of all capital sources employed by the company in financing it's assets
Weighted Average cost of capital = Cost of Equity * proportion of equity + Cost of debt after tax rate * proportion of debt
Expected return in CAPM= Risk free return +asset beta *market return -risk free return
Carol wants to invest money in a 6% Certificate of Deposit (CD) that compounds semiannually. Carol would like the account to have a balance of $50,000 five years from now. How much must Carol deposit to accomplish her goal
Answer:
the present value is $37,230.10
Explanation:
The computation of the present value is shown below:
As we know that
Future value = Present value × (1 + rate of interest)^time period
$50,000 = Present value × (1 + 0.06 ÷ 2)^5 × 2
$50,000 = Present value × (1.03)^10
$50,000 = Present value × 1.343
So, the present value is $37,230.10
hence, the present value is $37,230.10
We simply applied the above formula

A company has total equity of $2,160, net working capital of $240, long-term debt of $1,070, and current liabilities of $4,500. What is the company's net fixed assets?
Answer:
$2,990
Explanation:
A company's fixed asset consist of its plants and machineries, motor vehicles , buildings etc.
To get the company's net fixed asset, we would subtract the networking capital from total equity and add up long term debt.
Therefore,
Net fixed asset = $2,160 total equity - $240 working capital + $1,070 long term debt
= $2,990
Hence net fixed asset is $2,990

Machine hours (actual) 21,600
Machine hours (plan based on output) 21,000
Fixed overhead $101,200
Variable overhead $214,000
Nanjones’ variable overhead spending variance for November was:
a. $6,000 favorable.
b. $2,000 favorable.
c. $14,000 unfavorable.
d. $6,000 unfavorable.
Answer:
Variable manufacturing overhead spending variance= $2,000 favorable
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 2,400,000 / 240,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $10 per machine hour
To calculate the variable overhead spending variance, we need to use the following formula:
Variable manufacturing overhead spending variance= (standard rate - actual rate)* actual quantity
Variable manufacturing overhead spending variance= (15 - 214,000/21,600)*21,600
Variable manufacturing overhead spending variance= $2,000 favorable
The Nanjones' variable overhead spending variance for November is a. $6,000 favorable.
Data and Calculations:
Planning Data Actual Data Variances
Annual November November
Fixed overhead $1,200,000 $100,000 $101,200 $1,200 U

For example, in 2012, each of the 80 billion pieces of advertising brought 21 cents in revenue, compared to 42 cents for first-class mail. Which word could best replace revenue in this sentence
Answer:
Returns
Explanation:
Returns on an investor is the amount of profit or gain an outlay of cash is able to bring at the end of a period.
Rate of returns on invested funds is used as a yardstick by potential investors in deciding which enterprise to fund.
In the given instance where each of the 80 billion pieces of advertising brought 21 cents in revenue, a better replacement for the word revenue is return.
So returns of funds invested on each piece of advertising is 21 cents.
Answer: income
Explanation:
synonym for revenue
Carving Creations jointly produces wood chips and sawdust used in agriculture. The wood chips and sawdust are actually by-products of the company’s core operations, but Carving Creations accounts for them just like normally produced goods because of their large volumes. One jointly produced batch yields 3,000 cubic yards of wood chips and 10,000 cubic yards of sawdust, and the estimated cost per batch is $21,400. However, the joint production of each good is not equally weighted. Management at Carving Creations estimates that for the time it takes to produce 10 cubic yards of wood chips in the joint production process, only 2 cubic yards of sawdust are produced.
Given this information, allocate the joint costs of production to each product using the weighted average method.
Joint Product Allocation
Sawdust _____$
Wood chips _____
Totals _____ $
Answer:
Carving Creations
Joint Product Allocation
Sawdust _____$ 12,840 ($0.428 * 30,000)
Wood chips _____ $8,560 ($0.428 * 20,000)
Totals _____ $21,400
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Wood chips = 3,000 cubic yards
Sawdust = 10,000 cubic yards
Estimated batch cost = $21,400
Weight assigned to wood chips production = 10
Weight assigned to sawdust production = 2
Weighted Allocation of the joint costs:
Wood chips = 3,000 * 10 = 30,000
Sawdust = 10,000 * 2 = 20,000
Total weighted units = 50,000
Allocation rate based on weights = $21,400/50,000
= $0.428
Joint Product Allocation
Sawdust _____$ 12,840 ($0.428 * 30,000)
Wood chips _____ $8,560 ($0.428 * 20,000)
Totals _____ $21,400
This activity is important because any business that offers multiple product lines to multiple market segments is faced with the task of making the product/market decisions and prioritizing those decisions. Products and market segments that are growing quickly and are very profitable should get more attention and resources than a product and market segment that does not show as much potential.
Once a marketing manager creates a market-product grid, they must select which segments to target. To do this, the marketing manager should use several criteria in assessing the different segments. Those criteria include: market size, expected growth, competitive position, cost of reaching the segment, and the compatibility with the organization's objectives and resources.
The goal of this exercise is to demonstrate your understanding of the market-product development process by analyzing a gift shop's markets and products.
Read the case below and then answer the questions that follow as you consider its markets and product offerings.
A small local gift shop recently marked its 25th anniversary of being in business. Over that time, the owners have continually changed the products sold in its store to reflect changes in the market. From the early days of selling small gift-type items such as figurines and collectibles, the store now offers a more eclectic mix of merchandise that includes Vera Bradley purses and inexpensive jewelry, as well as items that could be classified as "gift-type" products and merchandise that is best described as "collectibles."
However, the demographics of the store's market, as well as the needs of that market, seem to be changing. There has been an influx of younger customers (20s and 30s) into the area, which has brought the average age of the area down by 9.8 years. This rapidly growing segment doesn't seem interested in buying the same collectibles that their parents bought. Many older residents (60s and 70s) have been leaving the area for retirement. The older customers are still buying the collectibles, but are also buying gifts for children and grandchildren for holidays and special occasions. Indeed, while sales of merchandise aimed at the younger customers have grown 30 percent, sales to the older crowd have been flat. And the younger group has now passed the older segment in terms of the size of the population. While there are other stores in the area selling similar merchandise, this gift shop has managed to get an exclusive on the Vera Bradley line, which has been popular with the younger customers. The owners of the gift shop are considering which market segment should be the focus of their attention and limited resources. This is an especially critical decision because of the limited space in the store and the need to add fixtures for carrying some of the collectible items that are coming on the market.
Based on the limited information in the case, which market segment is larger?
a) the over-80 segment
b) all segments are the same size
c) the 60s and 70s segment
d) the 20s and 30s segment

Bridgeport Inc. wishes to accumulate $1,092,000 by December 31, 2030, to retire bonds outstanding. The company deposits $168,000 on December 31, 2020, which will earn interest at 10% compounded quarterly, to help in the retirement of this debt. In addition, the company wants to know how much should be deposited at the end of each quarter for 10 years to ensure that $1,092,000 is available at the end of 2030. (The quarterly deposits will also earn at a rate of 10%, compounded quarterly.) (Round factor values to 5 decimal places, e.g. 1.25124 and final answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 458,581.)
Answer: $9,479
Explanation:
The number of periods = 10 years * 4 quarters = 40 periods
Interest per quarter = 10%/4 = 2.5%
$168,000 has been deposited. The value of this cash after 10 years is;
= 168,000 ( 1 + 2.5%) ^ 40
= $451,090.72
Out of $1,090,000, the amount remaining is;
= $1,090,000 - 451,090.72
= $638,909.28
They need to deposit an annuity per quarter to get to $638,909.28.
Future Value of Annuity = Annuity * ([1 + I]^N - 1 )/I
638,909.28 = Annuity * [(1+0.025)^40 - 1] /0.025
638,909.28 = Annuity * 67.40255
Annuity = 638,909.28/67.40255
= $9,479

Determining the true cash balance, starting with the unadjusted book balance
Nickleson Company had an unadjusted cash balance of $7,176 as of May 31. The company’s bank statement, also dated May 31, included a $67 NSF check written by one of Nickleson’s customers. There were $1,239 in outstanding checks and $255 in deposits in transit as of May 31. According to the bank statement, service charges were $35, and the bank collected an $600 note receivable for Nickleson. The bank statement also showed $14 of interest revenue earned by Nickleson.
Required:
Determine the true cash balance as of May 31. (Hint: It is not necessary to use all of the preceding items to determine the true balance.)
True cash balance
Answer: $7,688
True Cash balance = Unadjusted cash balance + Interest earned + Note received from Nickleson by bank - NSF (Non-sufficient funds) check - bank charges
= 7,176 + 14 + 600 - 67 - 35
= $7,688
Outstanding checks and deposits in transit do not need to be accounted for as they are already included in the unadjusted book balance.
You work for a marketing firm that has just landed a contract with Run-of-the-Mills to help them promote three of their products: splishy splashies, frizzles, and cannies. All of these products have been on the market for some time, but, to entice better sales, Run-of-the-Mills wants to try a new advertisement that will market two of the products that consumers will likely consume together. As a former economics student, you know that complements are typically consumed together while substitutes can take the place of other goods.
Run-of-the-Mills provides your marketing firm with the following data: When the price of splishy splashies decreases by 5%, the quantity of frizzles sold increases by 4% and the quantity of cannies sold decreases by 5%. Your job is to use the cross-price elasticity between splishy splashies and the other goods to determine which goods your marketing firm should advertise together.
Complete the first column of the following table by computing the cross-price elasticity between splishy splashies and flopsicles, and then between splishy splashies and kipples. In the second column, determine if splishy splashies are a complement to or a substitute for each of the goods listed. Finally, complete the final column by indicating which good you should recommend marketing with splishy splashies.
Relative to Splishy Splashies
Cross-Price Elasticity of Demand Complement or Substitute Recommend Marketing with Splishy Splashies
Flopsicles
Kipples
Answer:
cross-price elasticity formula = % change in quantity demanded of good X / % change in price of good Y
cross-price elasticity of demand between splishy splashies and frizzles (or is it flopsicles?) = 4% / -5% = -0.8, complement goods. When the cross price elasticity is negative, then the goods complement each other.
cross-price elasticity of demand between splishy splashies and cannies (or is it kippies?) = -5% / -5% = 1, substitute goods. When the cross price elasticity is positive, then the goods substitute each other.
If you are about to launch a marketing campaign for splishy splashies, then you should include frizzles in it.

a. Large number of buyers
b. Standardized good
c. Full information (not all participants know all the information, but most is available if they search for it)
d. No transaction cost
e. Participants are price takers
Explanation:
No market provides full information to all participants. The closest you can get are some markets where commodities are traded and the price is set be certain exchange institutions. E.g. the Chicago Mercantile Exchange sets the price of agricultural commodities in the US, and most trading companies follow that price but variations still exist (even though they are minimum).
It is not possible for all the consumers of gasoline, haircuts or bicycles to know the exact price of all the goods the services since the price varies from one seller to another. Even if they are part of a retail chain, the price varies. Full information only exists in theoretical models, it doesn't exist in the real world.

At $0.31 per bushel, the daily supply for wheat is 306 bushels, and the daily demand is 459 bushels. When the price is raised to $0.79 per bushel, the daily supply increases to 546 bushels, and the daily demand decreases to 439 bushels. Assume that the price-supply and price-demand equations are linear. a. Find the price-supply equation.
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
a) Find the price supply equation. b) Find the price demand equation. c) Find the equilibrium price and quantity.
Solution:
a) A linear equation is in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope, y is a dependent variable, x is an independent variable, b is value of y at x = 0.
Let p represent the price and q represent the quantity. Hence we have the points (306, 0.31), (546, 0.79)
Using the formula:
[tex]p-p_1=\frac{p_2-p_1}{q_2-q_1}(q-q_1)\\ \\p-0.31=\frac{0.79-0.31}{546-306} (q-306)\\\\p=0.002q-0.302[/tex]
b) Let p represent the price and q represent the demand. Hence we have the points (459, 0.31), (439, 0.79)
Using the formula:
[tex]p-p_1=\frac{p_2-p_1}{q_2-q_1}(q-q_1)\\ \\p-0.31=\frac{0.79-0.31}{439-459} (q-459)\\\\p=-0.024q+11.326[/tex]
c) At equilibrium, price supply equation = price supply equation
0.002q - 0.302 = -0.024q + 11.326
0.002q + 0.024q = 11.326 + 0.302
0.026q = 11.628
q = 447.23 bushels
p = 0.002q - 0.302 = 0.002(447.23) - 0.302
p = $1.2
Ballou Corporation declared a cash dividend on December 13, 2018, payable on January 10, 2019. By mistake, the company failed to make a journal entry in December 2018. The effect of this error on the financial statements as of December 31, 2018 were:_____.
a. retained earnings was overstated and liabilities were understated.
b. retained earnings was overstated and cash were understated.
c. retained earnings and liabilities were both understated.
d. retained earnings and liabilities were both overstated.
Answer: a. retained earnings was overstated and liabilities were understated.
Explanation:
Dividends are paid from the Retained Earnings so when a company announces a dividend, that dividend is to be deducted from the Retained earnings. As this was not done, the Retained earnings at year end are overstated.
As the dividends are not paid immediately, they become liabilities. With the relevant entries not made, the dividends were not recorded as liabilities which makes liabilities understated.
