Answer:
Zero
Explanation:
When an economy runs in its potential manner, and the GDP with maximum potential is received, then the income distribution of the concerned economy is optimal.
Further, as per neoclassical model, if the economy is producing at potential GDP, that is the supply chain is 100% efficient, then then level of cyclical unemployment shall be 0%.
The neoclassical model is based on the study of supply and demand of products in the market, with the help of which income distribution, distribution of goods, and various other outputs is computed in this model.
Thus, when an economy is producing at potential level then the income distribution shall also be potential, accordingly cyclical unemployment shall be zero.
Creating economic value for shareholders while also creating social value is known as creating _____.
Answer:
Shareholder capitalism, is the right answer.
Explanation:
Shareholder capitalism is the right answer because in shareholder capitalism the main purpose is to change the value of the company. The motive of the firm is to engage all the company’s stakeholders in the process of economic value creation. However, during the value creation, a company not only serves its shareholders but it serves all the stakeholders as well. Thus in this way, it creates social values.
If nothing is stated to the contrary in terms of an auction, an auction is presumed to be ________.
Answer: with reserve
Explanation: If nothing is stated to the contrary in terms of an auction,an auction is presumed to be ________.
A)non-binding
B)a quasi-contract
C)without reserve
D)with reserve
E)an implied-in-law contract
An auction is presumed to be with reserve if nothing is stated to the contrary (in terms of an auction). What this means is that the seller is merely expressing or showing his intent to receive offers. In contrast, however, if an auction is without reserve, the lowest bid must be accepted by the auctioneer but if it is with reserve, the auctioneer may refuse to sell the item if he is not satisfied with the size of the highest bid.
The custom order will incur no variable selling expenses. However, due to a special logo needing to be embossed on each ball, the direct materials expense will increase by $10 per ball. How will the profit of the company increase or decrease if they decide to accept the offer
Answer:
Hi, the question you have provided is missing data concerning the current costs of manufacturing the cost object and the price of the special offer amongst other items.
However, I will break down the principles and steps that are used to determine the effect on profit if firm decides to accept the offer.
Principle :
An Incremental analysis of Revenues and Costs is used to evaluate the acceptance of an offer. Only accept offers that results in incremental profit. Incremental Profit = Incremental Revenue - Incremental Costs.
Incremental Revenue
The special offer comes with a price that is different from the current prices used by the firm. Get this price and use it to find incremental revenue as a result of accepting the offer.
Incremental Costs
The special offer usually does not affect the fixed cost of manufacturing and selling the product. These are head office costs and are incurred whether or not the offer existed.
Consider Fixed costs when and only when they arise due to acceptance of the offer.
Only the Variable Cost Manufacturing and Selling Costs for the units to be supplied are considered in this analysis. Also account for any increases of variable costs and variable cost items
For movement along the demand curve, from an old position to a new one, the price effect is quantifiable as
Answer:
This question is incomplete, the options are missing. The options are the following:
A) The old price times the change in quantity.
B) The old price times the new quantity.
C) The new price times the change in quantity.
D) The old quantity times the change in price.
And the correct answer is the option D: The old quantity times the change in price.
Explanation:
To begin with, the name of "Price Effect" refers to a concept known in economics as the situation where a consumer is affected by the change in the price that a good he plans to buy staying everything else constant. This effect is quantifiable as the old quantity times the change in price when we see the representation in a graphic due to the fact that when the demand curve moves the new position will be established by that new price that have affected the consumer given the same old quantity.

The thing true to them is that a charitable and marital deduction is allowed in computing the taxable transfers.
Lomack Company's bonds have a 8-year maturity, a 8% coupon, paid semiannually, and a par value of $1,000. The market interest rate is 5%, with semiannual compounding.What is the bond's price?A bond has an annual coupon rate of 3.5%, a face value of $1,000, a price of $1,125.1, and matures in 10 year.What is the bond's YTM?
Answer:
Bond Price = $1,196
YTM = 2.1000% or 0.0210
Explanation:
Given the maturity years = 8 years
Coupon rate = 8%
Par value = $1000
Market interest rate = 5%
Since there is semi annual compounding payment so the number of payments, N = 8 * 2 = 16
Half year interest rate = I/Y = 5/2 = 2.5
Annuity payment or PMT = 0.08 × 1,000/2 = 40
FV = 1,000
CPT PV
Present value, PV = -1,195.82504
Price = $1,196
PMT = 1,000 × 0.035 = 35
Future value, FV = 1,000
Present value, PV = -1,125.1
N = 10
CPT I/Y
Now, I/Y = 2.1000
YTM = 2.1000% or 0.0210
An online gambling site offers a first prize of $50000 and two second prizes of $20000 each for registered users when they place a bet. A random bet will be selected over a 24hour period. Two million bets are received in the contest. Find the expected winnings if you can place one registered bet of $1 in the given period.
Answer:
−0.955
Explanation:
Given the following :
Worth of placing a registered bet = $1
1st price = $50,000
2nd price = $20,000
Total bets received = 2,000,000
Net winning :
Winning - worth of placing a registered bet
Ist price = $50,000 - $1 = $49,999
2nd price = $20,000 - $1 = $19,999
Amount lost = - $1
number of losers = 2,000,000 - 3 = 1,999,997
Probability :
Probability = (required outcome / Total possible outcomes)
Number of 1st price winners = 1
Number of second price winners = 2
P(1st price) = 1 / 2,000,000
P(2nd price) = 2/ 2,000,000 = 1/ 1,000,000
Therefore ;
Net winning (x) - - 49,999 - 19,999 - - - (-1)
P(winning) p(x) - - 1/2mill - - 1/1mill-- 1999997/2mill
Expected winnings = sum of [(x) * p(x)]
= ($49,999 * 0.0000005) + (19,999 * 0.000001) +(-1 * 0.9999985)
= 0.0249995 + 0.019999 − 0.9999985
= 0.0449985 - 0.9999985
= - 0.955

"In a Real Estate Limited Partnership, the general partner refinances an existing $5,000,000 mortgage on a $10,000,000 property to the original amount of $8,000,000. The interest rate on both mortgages is the same. The purpose of this action by the General Partner is to:"
Answer:
Increase interest deductions for the limited partners.
Explanation:
In the given scenario the general partner refinances an existing $5,000,000 mortgage on a $10,000,000 property to the original amount of $8,000,000. The interest rate on both mortgages is the same.
Refinancing a loan means that more money is disbursed to the borrower before the termination of the loan.
When a loan is refinanced at the same interest rate the borrower pays more interest.
For example if the mortgage remains at $5,000,000 the interest paid on this principal will be lower.
When the loan is refinanced to $8,000,000 at the same Interest rate the interest paid will be higher because principal is higher.
So the general partner aims to increase the amount of interest paid.
A Scrum Master is frustrated that her team finds no value during Iteration retrospectives, and the team has asked that she cancel all future ones. Which two specific anti-patterns are most likely present within the team’s retrospectives? (Choose two.)
Answer:
These two anti-patterns are most likely present within the team's retrospectives:
First, Team A members are not acquiring new knowledge and gaining experience. This anti-pattern discourages the team and makes the iteration retrospectives valueless. Team A members are supposed to be learning and gaining experience during the iteration retrospectives. But, once this is not being achieved, the members will likely not value the continued iteration retrospectives.
Two, the iteration retrospectives may become some ritualized formats that never change. There is no current or life in any static object or meeting. The Scrum Master should ensure that the iteration retrospectives are not just her retrospectives but the groups', otherwise, the retrospectives may become mere rituals for the team members to listen up to their master. The Scrum Master must establish a culture of trust so that the team can focus on improvements of the Scrum process.
Explanation:
The role of the scrum master is to ensure that the team lives agile values and principles and follows the agreed processes and practices. She must be able to clear team obstacles and establish an enabling and effective team environment.
Anti-patterns are those obstacles or problems that may arise to prevent the team from achieving its goals, making team members to view the iteration retrospectives as valueless exercises.
Scrum is an agile product development framework that emphasizes team formation, teamwork, and an effective team environment. This ensures that project development is handled in iterative processes with the team members regularly reflecting on their experiences during the daily scrum meetings in order to make adjustments for the achievement of their project goal.
The anti-patterns that are present within the teams' retrospectives are:
A. the team identifies improvements but is not allowed to address them, and
B. the team doesn't identify and commit to improvement items for how they do their work.
A scrum master is a person who performs scrum in the organization. it is the practice where people have the capability to identify complex problems, solve them, and deliver them in good quality.
An iteration retrospective is known as a process in which all the team members gather together for the discussion of the result of various iterations.
In the given case, the two anti-patterns are:
A. The team has identified the improvements but they are not allowed to address them. It is a process under the scrum that the team has the right to identify, rectify, and work on the improvements. When the team is not allowed to address the improvemets therefore they thought that the iteration process is not necessary.
B. The team does not identify and commit improvements and work upon them. This can be taken as a fault of the scrum managers or the scrum team for neglecting the team.
Therefore, options band B are correct.

If the price of Yoo-hoo is $2 in New York and $1 in St. Petersburg, Russia (after converting the rubles to dollars), you might expect: Group of answer choices
Answer: A) people to buy Yoo-hoo in St. Petersburg and sell it in New York until the price was the same in each country
Explanation:
As the Yoo-hoo is cheaper in St. Petersberg than in New York, this presents an arbitrage opportunity to buy cheap and sell higher. People will therefore buy from St.Petersberg at the price of $1 and then sell it in New York for $2 thereby making a 100% profit.
Once this happens more and more people will start doing this which would lead to an increase in demand for St. Peterberg Yoo-Hoos. According to the Law of Demand, when demand rises, the price will rise as well so the price in St. Petersberg will keep rising till it gets to the same amount in New York thereby dissuading people from buying to take advantage of the opportunity.
Broadway Inc. is considering a new musical. The initial investment required is $880,000. Every year, the free cash flow from the project is expected to be $80,000, continuing forever (Hint: think about a perpetuity).
a. What is the NPV of the project?
b. In fact, the annual cash flow of $80,000 is an expected value: there is a 50% chance that annual cash flow will be $180,000 and a 50% chance that it will be -$20,000. What is the expected NPV of the project if the company cannot abandon the project?
c. What is the true NPV of the project if the company can abandon the project after the first year?
d. What is the value of the option to abandon?
Answer:
Broadway Inc.
a. NPV of the project:
= $120,000 ($1,000,000 - 880,000)
b. Expected NPV of the project if the company cannot abandon the project:
= $120,000 ($1,000,000 - 880,000)
c. True NPV if the company can abandon the project after the first year:
= NPV = $74,080 - $880,000
= -$805,920
d. Value of the option to abandon:
= NPV = $74,080 - $880,000
= -$805,920
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Initial investment cost = $880,000
Assumed cost of capital = 8%
Expected annual free cash inflow = $80,000 in perpetuity
NPV = PV of Cash inflows minus PV of Cash outflows
PV of a perpetuity = Expected Annual Cash Inflows divided by cost of capital
= $80,000/0.08
= $1,000,000
$80,000 * 0.926 = $74,080
NPV = $74,080 - $880,000
= -$805,920
b) Broadway's Present Value of its perpetual annual cash inflow is calculated by dividing the cash inflow by the rate of interest, which is the cost of capital.
1) A firm sells 1,000 units per week. Suppose the average variable cost is $40, and the average cost is $95.
In the short run, the break-even price is _______. In the long run, the break-even price is _______.
2) Suppose the firm charges a price of $110 per unit.
In the short run, should they continue to produce or shut down?
In the long run, should they continue to produce or shut down?
Answer:
q , 2. m,n (9,9)
Yes it will.produced
In the short run, the break-even price can be calculated by adding the average variable cost to the average cost.
So the short-run break-even price would be $40 + $95 = $135 per unit. This means that the firm needs to charge at least $135 per unit to cover all its costs and avoid losses in the short run.
In the long run, the break-even price is determined by the average cost alone. So the long-run break-even price would be $95 per unit. This implies that the firm needs to charge at least $95 per unit to cover all its costs and achieve zero economic profit in the long run.
In the short run, if the firm charges $110 per unit and the break-even price is $135, it means that the firm is not covering all its costs and is incurring a loss of $25 per unit. In this scenario, it would be advisable for the firm to shut down in the short run, as continuing to produce and sell at a price lower than the break-even price would result in further losses.
In the long run, the firm should evaluate its options based on its ability to adjust its cost structure. If the firm can find ways to reduce its average cost below $110 per unit, then it may be profitable to continue producing. However, if the firm is unable to lower its costs sufficiently, it may be more prudent to shut down in the long run to avoid sustained losses. The decision will depend on the firm's ability to adapt and improve its cost efficiency.

In the month of March, Crane Salon services 590 clients at an average price of $120. During the month, fixed costs were $21,312 and variable costs were 60% of sales. (a) Determine the total contribution margin in dollars, the per unit contribution margin, and the contribution margin ratio. Contribution margin in dollars $ Contribution margin per unit $ Contribution margin ratio %
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales= 590 units
Selling price= $120
Unitary variable cost= 120*0.6= $72
Fixed costs= $21,312
First, we need to calculate the total contribution margin:
Total contribution margin= 590*(120 - 72)
Total contribution margin= $28,320
Now, the contribution margin per unit:
Unitary contribution margin= 120 - 72= $48
Finally, the contribution margin ratio:
contribution margin ratio= contribution margin / selling price
contribution margin ratio= 48/120
contribution margin ratio= 0.4

During periods of rising prices, LIFO will produce the a.highest ending inventory. b.highest net income. c.lowest cost of goods sold. d.highest cost of goods sold.
Answer:
d.highest cost of goods sold.
Explanation:
LIFO means last in first out. It means that it is the last purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.
During periods of rising prices, LIFO will produce the lowest ending inventory because what would be ending inventory would be the inventory earlier purchased at lower prices.
Because cost of goods would be higher due to rising prices, net income would be the lowest

Expectations of inflation are always greater than actual inflation along the long-run Phillips Curve.
A. True
B. False
Answer:
True.
Explanation:
The statement is “True” because the Philip curve is the curve that exhibits the relationship between the inflation or price level and unemployment. If inflation rises, then unemployment falls. If inflation falls, then unemployment rises. This happens because there is a negative relationship between inflation and unemployment. However in the long run the Philip curve is a verticle line parallel to the inflation axis and that shows there is no trade-off. Thus the option A is correct.
