Answer:
decrease the units of labor
Explanation:
The marginal revenue product is basically the market price of the extra goods or services produced by employing one additional unit of resources (in this case labor). If hiring an additional unit of labor results in a higher MRP than the cost of labor, then the company will keep adding labor until the cost of labor is higher than the MRP generated by that unit of labor.
E.g. A worker earns $100 per day. He can produce 40 units and each unit is sold at $5. Since the MRP of labor is higher than the cost of labor, more workers will be hired. But eventually, a worker will only be able to produce 20 or less units (law of decreasing marginal returns), and the MRP will be less than the cost of labor. At that point, the worker will be fired.
Athlete Kalen wishes to retire at age forty-five and receive annual birthday payments of $40,000 beginning on his forty-fifth birthday. After his death, the payments on the anniversary of his birth should go to his heirs. In order for Kalen to be able to carry out his plan, he makes contributions to a savings account with a guaranteed annual effective interest rate of 4%. How much money will Kalen need to have accumulated at age forty-five, just prior to his first $40,000 birthday payment
Answer:
1,040,000
Explanation:
We can calculate the money will Kalen need to have accumulated at age forty-five by dividing the annual birthday payments by the effective interest.
DATA
Annual birthday payments = A = $40,000
Effective interest = i = 4%
Calculation
Value at age 45 = A / i + Co
Value at age 45 = (40000 / .04) + 40000
Value at age 45 = 1,040,000
Kalen will need to have accumulated money of 1,040,000 at age forty-five, just prior to his first $40,000 birthday payment.
Consider a budget line drawn with avocados on the vertical axis and tangerines on the horizontal axis. The consumer's income is $100, the price of avocados is $5, and the price of tangerines is $10. Suppose the consumer's income falls to $75.00, but the prices stay the same. The change in income produces a: Group of answer choices parallel shift inward of the indifference curves. new budget line which is steeper than the original one. parallel shift inward of the budget line. new budget line which is flatter than the original one.
Answer:
new budget line which is steeper than the original one.
Explanation:
I drew the both budget lines in order to show the effect of the decrease in income.
The new budget line shifts inward and it is slightly more steep than the original budget line because the consumer can only purchase 7 tangerines, he cannot purchase 7.5. This slight difference makes the slope steeper. The total possible quantity of avocados diminished by 25%, while the total possible quantity of tangerines diminished by 30%.

The grocery industry has an annual inventory turnover of about times. Organic Grocers, Inc., had a cost of goods sold last year of $; its average inventory was $. What was Organic Grocers' inventory turnover, and how does that performance compare with that of the industry? a) What was Organic Grocers' inventory turnover? nothing times per year (round your response to two decimal places). b) How does Organic Grocers' performance compare with that of the industry? It is ▼ the same as worse than better than the industry.
Answer:
Inventory turnover ratio= 10.5 times
Organic Grocers' performance is LOW compare with that of the grocery industry.
Explanation:
Computation of Inventory turnover ratio using this formula
Inventory turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory
Let plug in the formula
Inventory turnover ratio = $10.5 /$ 1 .00
Inventory turnover ratio= 10.5 times
Therefore Organic Grocers’s inventory turnover is 10.5 times
Based on the information given about grocery industry we were told that they had annual inventory turnover of 14 times while Organic Grocers’s based on the above calculation inventory turnover is 10.5 times which means that Organic Grocers’s performance is low when compared with grocery industry which had inventory turnover of about 14 times.
Therefore Organic Grocers' performance is LOW compare with that of the grocery industry.
Quantity of Tacos Total Utility Marginal Utility Quantity of Burritos Total Utility Marginal Utility 1 16 16 1 30 30 2 30 14 2 46 16 3 42 12 3 61 15 4 52 10 4 75 14 5 60 8 5 88 13 6 66 6 6 100 12 7 70 4 7 111 11 You go to a local resturant and are deciding how many tacos and burritos to order. The price of a taco is $2 and the price of a burrito is $3. You are really hungry and decide to spend no more than $28 in total for both tacos and burritos. If your utility schedule is like the one above, then how many burritos should you purchase
Answer:
The quantity of burritos that should be purchased is 6.
Explanation:
Note: The data in this question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question with the sorted data.
The explanation to the answer is now given as follows:
Also note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of ratios of Marginal Utility to Price for Taco and Burrito.
The quantity of burritos to purchase by determining the point at which the ratios of Marginal Utility to Price of Taco and Burrito are equal.
In economics, utility from two or more goods is maximized at a point where the ratios Marginal Utility to Price of the two or more goods are equal.
For Taco and Burrito in the attached excel file in red color, utility is therefore maximized where we have:
Marginal Utility of Taco / Price of Taco = Marginal Utility Burrito / Price of Burrito = 4.00
At this point, Quantity of Taco is 5 while Quantity of Burritos is 6.
At this point, the total budget of $28 is exhauted as it is equal to the total expenses on Taco and Burrico. This can be confirmed as follows:
Total expenses = (Quantity of Tacos * Price of Taco) + (Quantity of Burritos * Price of Burrito) = (5 * $2) + (6 * $3) = $10 + $18 = $28
Therefore, the quantity of burritos that should be purchased is 6.
tina is the sole owner of tina's lawn mowing, incorporated (TLM). In one year TLM collects $1,000,000 from customers to mow their lawns. TLM equipment depreciates in value by $125,000. TLM pays $600,000 to its workers who pay $140,000 in taxes on this income. TLM pays $50,000 in corporate income taxes and pays Tina a dividend of $150,000. Tina pays taxes of $60,000 on this dividend income. TLM retains $75,000 of earnings in the business to finance future expansion. How much does this economic activity contribute to each of the following
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
This is the remainder of the question:
How much does this economic activity contribute to GDP, NNP, National income, compensation of employees, Proprietors' Income, corporate profits, personal income, disposable personal income?
a. GDP – $1,000,000
The GDP is the value for the goods and services that a country sells. To loan customers lawns, Tina collects $1,000,000.
b. NNP – $875,000
NNP = GDP - Depreciation
= $1000000 - $125000
= $875000
c. National income – $875,000
d. Compensation of employees- $600,000
This is the amount paid by the company to its workers for work done as wages and salaries.
e. Proprietors’ income – $0
Because it is a Corporation, this will be $0.
f. Corporate profits – $275,000
This will be:
= $50,000 + $150,000 + $75000
= $275000
g. Personal income – $750,000
= NNP + Dividend - Profit
= $875000 + $150000 - $275000
= $750000
h. Disposable personal income – $550000
= $750000 - $60000 - $140000
= $550000
A worker age 40 wishes to accumulate a fund for retirement by making deposits of $1000 at the beginning of each year for 25 years. Starting at age 65 the worker retires, and plans to make annual withdrawals of $x at the beginning of each year, for 10 years, at which point the fund will be depleted. Assuming that all payments are certain to be made, find the amount of each withdrawal starting at age 65 to the nearest dollar, if the effective rate of interest is 8% for the first 25 years and 7% thereafter.
Answer:
$10,408.62
Explanation:
annual contribution $1,000
n = 25 years
i = 8%
FV annuity factor, 8%, 25 periods = 73.106
future value = $1,000 x 73.106 = $73,106
annual distribution = PV (at age 65) / PV annuity factor
i = 7%
n = 10
PV annuity factor, 7%, 10 periods = 7.0236
annual distribution = $73,106 / 7.0236 = $10,408.62

You purchased one silver futures contract at $3.15 per ounce. Assume the contract size is 5,000 ounces and there are no transactions costs. What would be your profit or loss at maturity if the silver spot price at that time is $3.34 per ounce
Answer:
$950
Explanation:
In this scenario, the profit or loss would be the difference in price between the selling and buying price of the asset, multiplied by the number owned of that asset. Therefore in this scenario, since you purchased the asset at a price of $3.15 per ounce and would be selling at a price of $3.34 per ounce we need to subtract these values and find the difference, then we multiply by the amount of the asset which is 5,000 ounces to find the loss or profit.
$3.34 - $3.15 = $0.19
$0.19 * 5000 = $950
Finally, we see that you made a profit of $950
Domingo Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. This month, the beginning inventory in the first processing department consisted of 2,200 units. The costs and percentage completion of these units in beginning inventory were: Cost Percent Complete Materials costs $ 7,300 50% Conversion costs $ 3,500 20% A total of 8,600 units were started and 7,900 units were transferred to the second processing department during the month. The following costs were incurred in the first processing department during the month: Cost Materials costs $ 160,500 Conversion costs $ 122,200 The ending inventory was 85% complete with respect to materials and 75% complete with respect to conversion costs. The cost per equivalent unit for materials for the month in the first processing department is closest to:
Answer: $16.19
Explanation:
Equivalent Units = Units completed and transferred + Ending Inventory completed
Ending Inventory = Beginning inventory + Units started into production - Units transfered to second processing department
= 2,200 + 8,600 - 7,900
= 2,900 units
Equivalent Units = 7,900 + (2,900 * 85%)
= 10,365 units
Cost per equivalent unit = Total Material Cost / Equivalent Units
= ( Beginning material cost + Material cost incurred during the month) / Equivalent Units
= (7,300 + 160,500) / 10,365
= $16.19

Assume that your stock of sales merchandise is maintained based on the forecast demand. If the distributor's sales personnel call on the first day of each month, compute your forecast sales by each of the three methods requested here. ACTUAL June 135 July 170 August 200 a. Using a simple three-month moving average, what is the forecast for September? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. Using a weighted moving average, what is the forecast for September with weights of 0.20, 0.30, and 0.50 for June, July, and August, respectively? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Simple 3 month moving average = 168.33
Weighted moving average = 178
Explanation:
a) Simple 3 month moving average = (W1+W2+W3) / 3
Simple 3 month moving average = (135 + 170 + 200) / 3
Simple 3 month moving average = 168.33
b. Weighted moving average = ((W1 * D1) + (W2 * D2) + (W3 * D3)
Weighted moving average = 135*0.20 + 170*0.30 + 200*0.50
Weighted moving average = 27 + 51 + 100
Weighted moving average = 178

You are ready to buy a house, and you have $25,000 for a down payment and closing costs. Closing costs are estimated to be 4% of the loan value. You have an annual salary of $48,000 (monthly income $4000) , and the bank is willing to allow your monthly mortgage payment to be equal to 25% of your monthly income. The interest rate on the loan is 7.2% per year with monthly compounding (.6% per month) for a 30-year fixed rate loan. How much money will the bank loan you
Answer:
The bank will loan you $147,321.36.
Explanation:
The amount the ban will loan can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV = Present value of the of loan or the amount the bank will loan you =?
P = Monthly mortgage payment = Monthly salary * 25% = $4,000 * 25% = $1,000
r = Monthly interest rate = 7.2% / 12 = 0.072 / 12 = 0.006
n = number of months = 30 years * 12 months = 360
Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:
PV = $1,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.006))^360) / 0.006)
PV = $1,000 * ((1 - (1 / 1.006)^360) / 0.006)
PV = $1,000 * ((1 - 0.99403578528827^360) / 0.006)
PV = $1,000 * ((1 - 0.116071859187515) / 0.006)
PV = $1,000 * (0.883928140812485 / 0.006)
PV = $1,000 * 147.321356802081
PV = $147,321.36
Therefore, the bank will loan you $147,321.36.
Real estate construction is a volatile process determined by the interaction of the user, developer and capital markets. What factors affect the volatility of real estate construction and commercial and residential real estate development
Answer:
Real estate market is a unique business in a sense that each product is different and each product has a different value, e.g. two houses with identical blueprints are different due to location and by how well they have taken care off. Another aspect that makes real estate so special is that generally it represents its owners largest asset. Unless you are very wealthy, your house is usually your most valuable possession.
Real estate markets are very volatile. They might be increasing at a rapid pace and then suddenly everything collapses. Remember the great recession back in 2007? Any change in capital markets affects directly the real estate market, even though they are not directly related. E.g. interest rates increase, real estate suffers.
Since construction costs include many items that are not interchangeable, they are highly volatile. They include thousands of different parts that are not necessarily standardized or are not purchased in bulk. E.g. cars also contain thousands of parts, but each car has the same parts (parts are interchangeable). You cannot take a house's wall and place it another house, but you can take a car's wheel and use it in another car.

"Suppose that a worker in Lago can produce either 5 units of oats or 20 pounds of tuna per year, and a worker in Abuta can produce either 20 units of oats or 5 pounds of tuna per year. There are 20 workers in each country. No trade occurs between the two countries. Lago produces and consumes 50 units of oats and 200 pounds of tuna per year while Abuta produces and consumes 200 units of oats and 50 pound of tuna per year. If trade were to occur, Lago would trade 60 pounds of tuna for 60 units of oats. If Lago now completely specializes in tuna production, how many pounds of tuna could it now consume along with the 60 units of imported oats?"
Answer:
140 pounds of tuna
Explanation:
Lago
opportunity cost of producing 1 unit of oat = 20 / 5 = 4 pounds of tunaopportunity cost of producing 1 pound of tuna = 5 / 20 = 0.25 units of oatAbuta
opportunity cost of producing 1 unit of oat = 5 / 20 = 0.25 pounds of tunaopportunity cost of producing 1 pound of tuna = 20 / 5 = 4 units of oatLago should produce tuna while Abuta should produce oat. If they specialize:
total production of tuna = 20 x 20 = 400 pounds total production of oat = 20 x 20 = 400 unitsLago trades 60 pounds of tuna in exchange for 60 units of oat, so it will have 140 pounds of tuna and 60 units of oat in total.

The lid slipped off one of the boxes, and I realized it was full of photocopied plans from our latest prototype. Sheâs not on the development team, so thereâs no reason she should have these documents. Iâm not sure what, if anything, I should do about this. Before sending the message, it occurs to you that your e-mail will probably be forwarded to the legal team. What will you need to change to make the message appropriate for both your supervisor and the legal team?
Answer:
I Will have to give more specific information including dates and names
Explanation:
This message is going to be sent to the supervisor and also the legal team. So it is very necessary that more specific details are provided concerning the circumstances I witnesses. It would be good to provide Dates, names and Even possible conversations that occurred. This will be a form of evidence and with the information I have given, there may be further investigations and the supervisor may decide to take further and necessary action.

Which of the following is true? Group of answer choices An excise subsidy has only a substitution effect since the subsidy artificially lowers the price of the subsidized good causing the consumer to increase consumption of the good, but no income effect. An excise subsidy increases consumption of a good by the same quantity as does a cash transfer but at a lower cost to the government. An excise subsidy has an income effect since the subsidy increases the consumer’s income but no substitution effect. An excise subsidy has both an income and a substitution effect which causes the consumption of the subsidized good to rise.
Answer:
An excise subsidy has only a substitution effect since the subsidy artificially lowers the price of the subsidized good causing the consumer to increase consumption of the good, but no income effect.
Explanation:
The above is true due to the fact that the consumption of goods increases. This could have been reduced had it been that, there was never any excise subsidy on those goods.
The price elasticity of demand for gizmos is known to be (disregarding the negative sign). If sellers of gizmos increase their prices, total revenue from gizmo sales will
Answer:
C. rise.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete as some data are missing. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
The price elasticity of demand for gizmos is known to be 0.2 (disregarding the negative sign). If sellers of gizmos increase their prices, total revenue from gizmo sales will:
A. fall.
B. stay the same.
C. rise.
D. There is not enough information to determine the change in revenue.
The explanation to the answer is now given as follows:
The price elasticity of demand can be described as the degree of responsivess of quantity demanded of a commodity to a change in the price of that commodity.
The price elasticity of demand is calculated as the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price.
The three major categories of price elasticity of demand and their effect on revenue are as follows:
a. Elastic: Price elasticity of demand is said to be elastic when its absolute value is greater than one (i.e. Ep > 1). This implies that the percentage change in quantity demanded is greater than the percentage in price. That is, the quantity demanded is more responsive to any change in price. As there is negative relationship between price and quantity demanded for a normal good, an increase in price will make the percentage fall in the quantity demanded to be higher than the percentage increase in price. This will therefore result in a fall in total revenue.
b. Unitary: Price elasticity of demand is said to be unitary when its absolute value is equal to one (i.e. Ep = 1). This implies that the percentage change in quantity demanded is equal the percentage in price. That is, the quantity demanded is equally responsive to any change in price. As there is negative relationship between price and quantity demanded for a normal good, an increase in price will make the percentage fall in the quantity demanded to be equal to the percentage increase in price. This will make the total revenue to remain the same.
c. Inelastic: Price elasticity of demand is said to be inelastic when its absolute value is less than one (i.e. Ep < 1). This implies that the percentage change in quantity demanded is less than the percentage in price. That is, the quantity demanded is less responsive to any change in price. As there is negative relationship between price and quantity demanded for a normal good, an increase in price will make the percentage fall in the quantity demanded to be less than the percentage increase in price. This will therefore result in a rise in total revenue.
Based on the explanation above, the price elasticity of demand for gizmos falls into category c. This implies that it is inelastic because its absolute value of 0.2 is less than 1. Therefore, the correct option is C. rise. That is, total revenue from gizmo sales will rise If sellers of gizmos increase their prices.

"You wrote a piece of software that does a better job of allowing computers to network than any other program designed for this purpose. A large networking company wants to incorporate your software into its systems and is offering to pay you $516,000 today, plus $516,000 at the end of each of the following six years, for permission to do this. If the appropriate interest rate is 6 percent, what is the present value of the cash flow stream that the company is offering you? (Round factor values to 4 decimal places, e.g. 1.5215 and final answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25.)"
Answer: $3,053,326.80
Explanation:
Constant payments are annuities so the $516,000 annual payment is one.
Seeing as you will get a payment of $516,000 today, that is the present value of that first payment. The total present value therefore will be that first $516,000 plus the present value of the annuity discounted at 6% for 6 years.
Present value of Annuity = Annuity * Present value interest factor for 6%, 6 years.
= 516,000 * 4.9173
= $2,537,326.80
Present Value of cashflow;
= 516,000 + 2,537,326.80
= $3,053,326.80

Gael Corporation is comparing two different capital structures, an all-equity plan (Plan I) and a levered plan (Plan II). Under Plan I, the company would have 185,000 shares of stock outstanding. Under Plan II, there would be 135,000 shares of stock outstanding and $2.29 million in debt outstanding. The interest rate on the debt is 5 percent and there are no taxes. Use M&M Proposition I to find the price per share. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) What is the value of the firm under each of the two proposed plans? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to the nearest whole dollar amount, e.g., 32.)
Answer:
The value of firm under both plan is $8,473,000
Explanation:
All equity plan share Outstanding = $185,000
Plan II Number. of shares outstanding = $135,000
Debt = $2,290,000
Price per share = Amount of debt issued/(No of shares in all Equity-no of shares in debt plan)
Price per share = $2,290,000/($185,000 - $135,000)
Price per share = $2,290,000 / $50,000
Price per share =$45.8
Value of firm under Equity plan = Number of shares * Price per share
Value of firm under Equity plan = 185000 shares * $45.8
Value of firm under Equity plan = $8,473,000
Levered plan = (Number of shares*Price per share) + Debt
Levered plan = (135,000 * $45.8) + $2,290,000
Levered plan = $6,183,000 + $2,290,000
Levered plan = $8,473,000
Hence, the value of firm under both plan is $8,473,000

Accounts Debit Credit Cash Accounts Receivable Prepaid Insurance Office Supplies Land Building Accumulated DepreciationBuilding Equipment Accumulated DepreciationEquipment Accounts Payable Salaries Payable Unearned Revenue Mortgage Payable Baker, Capital Baker, Withdrawals Service Revenue Salaries Expense Depreciation ExpenseBuilding and Equipment Supplies Expense Insurance Expense Utilities Expense Total There were no new capital contributions during the year. After the closing entries are posted, what is the balance in Baker, Capital?
Answer: $163,300
Explanation:
Baker, Capital = Beginning Capital + Net Income - Drawings
Net Income = Service revenue - Salaries - Supplies - Insurance - Utilities - Depreciation for Building and Equipment
= 275,000 - 64,000 - 11,000 - 14,600 - 18,000 - 5,600
= $161,800.
Baker Capital = 24,500 + 161,800 - 23,000
= $163,300

If Stellar estimates that 8% of its receivables will prove to be uncollectible.
Required:
Prepare the December 31, 2020, journal entry to record bad debt expense.
Answer: See attachment
Explanation:
The following can be gotten from the question:
Account receivable = $393,100
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = $3,490
Since Stellar estimates that 8% of its receivables will prove to be uncollectible. This will be:
= ($393,100 × 8%) - $3490
= $31448 - $3490
= $27958
