Answer:
Trend (T): This is a secular trend, which refers to the movement across time.
Cycle (C): These are cyclical swings that correspond to seasonal but not periodical variations.
Seasonal (S): These are seasonal shifts represented by seasonal variations.
Irregular (I): These are irregular variations, which are a different type of nonrandom cause of series variations.
Explanation:
A time series is a collection of data points that have been indexed (or listed or graphed) in chronological sequence.
The difference between the components can explained as follows:
Trend (T): This is a secular trend, which refers to the movement across time. A trend in data is a pattern that demonstrates the movement of a series to progressively higher or lower values over time. To put it another way, a trend can be seen when the time series has a rising or decreasing slope. A trend usually lasts for a short period of time before dissipating; it does not occur again.
Cycle (C): These are cyclical swings that correspond to seasonal but not periodical variations. The term cycle refers to recurring fluctuations in time series that persist longer than a year, sometimes up to 15 or 20 years. In terms of amplitude and length, these variations aren't regular. The majority of business time series show some form of cyclical or oscillatory fluctuation.
Seasonal (S): These are seasonal shifts represented by seasonal variations. Seasonal fluctuation may be present in time series data. Seasonal variation, often known as seasonality, refers to cycles that occur on a regular basis over time. Seasonal variation refers to a recurring pattern within each year, though it can also refer to patterns that repeat across any specified period.
Irregular (I): These are irregular variations, which are a different type of nonrandom cause of series variations. The polar opposite of a regular time series is an irregular time series. The data in the time series is organized in a chronological order, however measurements may not occur at regular intervals. The operator may produce unexpected or suboptimal results if the time series is erratic.

Eddy Jones Pottery produces serving bowls among other items. If they reengineer their automated equipment, a serving bowl can be formed in just 1.5 min instead of 2.5 min. If Eddy Jones Pottery uses the reengineered equipment, how many more bowls could they produce in one 8-hr shift
Answer and Explanation:
Old equipment=2.5 mins per serving bowl
New equipment=1.5 mins per serving bowl
With old equipment, in one hour Eddy Jones can produce 60/2.5= 24 serving bowls
With new equipment, in one hour Eddy Jones can produce 60/1.5= 40 serving bowls
With old equipment, in 8 hours Eddy Jones can produce 24*8=192 serving bowls
With new equipment, in 8 hours Eddy Jones can produce 40*8=320 serving bowls
Therefore in 8 hours with new equipment Eddy Jones will produce 320-192= 128 more serving bowls than with old equipment.

Your grandparents put $10,200 into an account so that you would have spending money in college. You put the money into an account that will earn an APR of 4.19 percent compounded monthly. If you expect that you will be in college for 4 years, how much can you withdraw each month?
Answer:
Monthly withdrawal = $ 231.17 per month
Explanation:
Below is the calculation:
Deposit amount in the bank = $10200
Interest rate earned by the deposit = 4.19%
Monthly interest rate = 4.19% / 12 = 0.34917%
Number of periods = 4 years x 12 = 48
Amount in the account = Monthly withdrawal x (P/A, 0.34917%, 48)
10200 = Monthly withdrawal x 44.12246
Monthly withdrawal = 10200/44.12246
Monthly withdrawal = $ 231.17 per month

Because poor people are likely to have adequate healthcare, guaranteeing everyone in society the best healthcare would likely equality. Paying laid-off workers unemployment benefits until they find a new job will likely efficiency because this would their effort searching for a job. Which of the following provides an explanation for your answers regarding efficiency?
a. People will work more hours than is optimal.
b. There will likely be insufficient job openings.
c. Too many workers will want to become medical doctors.
d. People may over consume healthcare and reduce their effort when searching for a job
Answer:
1. Because poor people are less likely to have adequate healthcare, guaranteeing everyone in society the best healthcare would likely increase equality.
2. Paying laid-off workers unemployment benefits until they find a new job will likely increase equality and decrease efficiency.
3. d. People may over consume healthcare and reduce their effort when searching for a job
Even though guaranteeing the poor adequate healthcare will work to increase equality, it will lead to a situation where healthcare might be overconsumed as too many people will be going to seek medical services because they can now afford it.
If people get unemployment benefits, their immediate needs will be taken care of and they will probably see less of a need to go out and search for a job as a result.
Oltman Corporation uses a predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs. The Corporation has provided the following estimated costs for next year:
Direct materials $25,000
Direct labor $22,000
Advertising expense $15,000
Rent on factory building $13,500
Sales salaries $28,000
Depreciation on factory equipment $6,500
Indirect materials $10,000
Insurance on factory equipment $12,000
Oltman estimated that 40,000 direct labor-hours and 20,000 machine-hours would be worked during the year. The predetermined overhead rate per machine-hour will be:___________
a) $1.05 per machine hour
b) $1.00 per machine hour
c) $2.10 per machine hour
d) $1.60 per machine hour
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $2.1 per machine hour
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the estimated total overhead:
Total estimated overhead= Rent on factory building + Depreciation on factory equipment + Indirect materials + Insurance on factory equipment
Total estimated overhead= 13,500 + 6,500 + 10,000 + 12,000
Total estimated overhead= $42,000
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= 42,000 / 20,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $2.1 per machine hour

a. 6.00 years.
b. 1.99 year.
c. 6.05 years.
d. 12.10 years.
e. 3.01 years.
Answer:
e. 3.01 years
Explanation:
Cost of Asset = $57,000
Net annual cash Inflow = Net Income after Tax + Depreciation
Net annual cash Inflow = $9,425 + $9,500
Net annual cash Inflow = $18,925
Payback Period = Cost of Asset (Investment) / Net annual cash Inflow
Payback Period = $57,000 / $18,925
Payback Period = 3.01188904
Payback Period = 3.01 years

Bakers are much ___________ likely to supply pastries to the market if property rights are not enforced. In the presence of market failures, public policy can improve economic efficiency. Classify the source of market failure in each case listed.
a. A manufacturing plant dumps chemical waste into a nearby river, poisoning the water supply for a small town downstream.
b. A single public utilities company is responsible for supplying electricity for an entire state. As a result, the utilities company can set the price of electricity.
Answer: more; externality; market power.
Explanation:
Bakers are much (more) likely to supply pastries to the market if property rights are not enforced.
a. A manufacturing plant dumps chemical waste into a nearby river, poisoning the water supply for a small town downstream. - Externality
Externality, refers to the benefit s or costs that someone else incurs based on the economic decision of another person. In this case, this is a negative externality as the small town bears the cost of the production activities of the company.
b. A single public utilities company is responsible for supplying electricity for an entire state. As a result, the utilities company can set the price of electricity - Market power
Market power is when a firm is able to dictate the price and can then raise the price. This brings about the reduction in output as well. Since the single public utilities company is responsible for supplying electricity for an entire state, the company is enjoying monopoly power or market power.

Use a spreadsheet function to compute the MACRS depreciation schedule. Show the depreciation taken (=sum ()) as well as the PW of the depreciation charges discounted at the MARR%. If money is worth 10%m which one of the following three methods of depreciation would be preferable? (a) Straight line method), (b) double declining balance method, (c) MACRS method.
Answer:
Earthmoving Equipment Company
The preferable method of depreciation based on the Present Worth is:
(a) Straight line method
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of equipment = $150,000
Estimated useful life = 5 years
Salvage value = $50,000
Depreciable amount = $100,000 ($150,000 - $50,000)
Annual Depreciation:
Straight-line method = $20,000 ($100,000/5)
Double-declining-balance method rate = 40% (100%/5 * 2)

The price of Microsoft is $30 per share and that of Apple is $58 per share. The price of Microsoft increases to $39 per share after one year and to $42 after two years. Also, shares of Apple increase to $66 after one year and to $71 after two years. If your portfolio comprises 100 shares of each security, what is your portfolio return over year 1 and year 2? Assume no dividends are paid.
A) 19.32%, 7.62%
B) 28.01%, 8.38%
C) 23.18%, 11.43%
D) 22.22%, 13.71%
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
The total portoflio value at the time of purchase will be:
= (100 × $30) + (100 × $58)
= $3000 + $5800
= $8800
Total Portoflio Value after 1 Year will be:
= (100 × $39) + (100 × $66)
= $3900 + $6600
= $10500
Total Portoflio Value after Year 2 will be:
= (100 × $42) + (100 × $71)
= $4200 + $7100
= $11300
Portfolio Return (Year 1) will now be:
= (10500 - 8800)/8800 × 100
= 1700/8800 × 100
= 19.32%
Portfolio Return (Year 2) will be:
= (11300 - 10500)/10500 × 100
= 800/10500 × 100
= 7.62%

Suppose that a firm is currently maximizing its short-run profit at an output of 50 units. If the current price is $9, the marginal cost of the 50th unit is $9, and the average total cost of producing 50 units is $4, what is the firm's profit
Answer:
$250
Explanation:
Profit = Total revenue - Total cost
Profit = ($9*50 units) - ($4*50 units)
Profit = $450 - $200
Profit = $250
Thus, the firm's profit will be $250.
