If a business is using factors of production 100% efficiently, the plot will be on the curve. However, most business efficiency falls inside the
curve. Why is this?
A. They are not making efficient use of their factors
of production.
B. They are making over 100% efficient use of their
factors of production.
C. They are making inequitable use of their factors
of production.
Answer: A. They are not making efficient use of their factors of production.
Explanation:
Production Possibilities Curve helps in capturing opportunity cost and scarcity when an economy produces two goods or services.
It should be noted that the points on the interior of the PPC simply means that the economy is inefficient. The points on the PPC implies that the economy is efficient, while the points beyond the PPC simoky means that they are unattainable.
Based on the question, the production points inside the curve simply implies that the economy isn't producing at its comparative advantage, and therefore, they are not making efficient use of their factors of production.

a woman sells her home for $450 000. she had purchased it for $300 000 and has lived there for 3 years. how much will she owe to IRS due to the gain on the sale?
Answer: $0
Explanation:
As a single homeowner, you are allowed to sell your house and get a $250,000 exemption on capital gains tax so long as you had stayed in the house for 2 years or more out of the last 5 years.
The woman in question has stayed in her home for 3 years when she sold it so she qualifies for the exemption.
Her capital gain is:
= Selling price - cost price
= 450,000 - 300,000
= $150,000
This is less than the exemption of $250,000 so the woman will be totally exempted from capital gains tax.
No amount will be gained by the woman
The amount that every house owner is exempted to gain is $250,000
The woman sold her house for $450,000
She purchased the house for $300,000
The gain can be calculated as follows;
$450,000-$300,000
= $150,000
This amount is less than $250,000 hence there is no gain

Which of the following is a disadvantage of the balanced-scorecard approach? Question 8 options: It fails to link the strategic vision to responsible parties within the organization. It fails to translate the vision into measureable operational goals. It provides limited guidance for designing and planning business processes. It provides limited guidance about which metrics to choose.
Answer:
It provides limited guidance about which metrics to choose.
Explanation:
A balance scorecard can be defined as a performance metrics used for measuring and assessing the quality of performance of a company.
In Business management, the four (4) performance metrics of a balance scorecard includes the following; customer, learning and growth, internal business processes, and financial.
Thus, it should be used to determine whether or not the operations of a business is in synchronization with its vision statement and values.
However, a disadvantage of the balanced-scorecard approach is that it provides limited guidance about which performance metrics to choose.
In reality, different situations or issues that are experienced by a business firm require the use of different metrics and techniques to solve them. As a result, a balance scorecard can't give a direct solution to a problem and as such it's highly dependent on the effectiveness and ability of a manager.
A bond par value is $1,000 and the coupon rate is 6.3 percent. The bond price was $946.86 at the beginning of the year and $984.56 at the end of the year. The inflation rate for the year was 2.1 percent. What was the bond's real return for the year
Answer:
8.36%
Explanation:
The computation of the real rate of return is given below:
Coupon amount = $1,000 × 6.3% = $63
Return on price is
= $984.56 - 946.86
= $37.7
Now
Nominal rate of return =( (63 + 37.7) ÷ 946.86 ) × 100
= 10.64%
And, finally
Real rate of return = (1+ nominal return) ÷ (1+inflation) - 1
= (1.1064 ÷ 1.021) - 1
= 8.36%

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :
(a) Find the present and future value of an income stream of $8000 per year for a period of 10 years if the interest rate, compounded continuously, is . Round your answers to two decimal places.
Present value ___
Future value ___
b). How much of the future value is from the income stream? How much is from interest? Round your answers to two decimal places.
The amount from the income stream is __
The amount from the interest is ___
Solution :
Since the interest is compounded continuously, the formula used is :
[tex]$P=\int_0^{m} s(t)\ e^{-rt}\ dt$[/tex]
P = present value, B = future value
[tex]$B=Pe^{rt}$[/tex]
Given :
S = $ 8000, r = 4% = 0.04, m = 10
[tex]$P=\int_0^m \ 8000. e^{-0.04t} \ dt$[/tex]
[tex]$P=\int_0^{10} \ 8000. e^{-0.04t} \ dt$[/tex]
According to the fundamental theorem of calculus,
[tex]$\int_a^b f(x) = F(b) -F(a)$[/tex]
[tex]$\int e^{ax}\ dx = \frac{e^{ax}}{a}$[/tex]
[tex]$P=\int_0^{10} \ 8000. e^{-0.04t} \ dt$[/tex]
[tex]$P=8000 \times \left[ \frac{e^{-0.04t}}{-0.04}\right]^{10}_0$[/tex]
Uploading the limits,
[tex]$P=\frac{8000}{-0.04} \times \left[ e^{-0.04 \times 10} - e^{-0.04 \times 0} \right]$[/tex]
P = -200000 [-0.32967]
P = 65935.99
Therefore, Present value, P = $65936
[tex]$B=Pe^{rt}$[/tex]
[tex]$B=65936 \times e^{10 \times 0.04}$[/tex]
[tex]B= 98364.9[/tex]
So, future value , B = $ 98365
Amount of the future value from the income stream,
[tex]$=\int_0^m s(t) \ dt$[/tex]
[tex]$=\int_0^{10} 8000 \ dt$[/tex]
[tex]$=8000 \times [t]_0^{10}$[/tex]
= 8000 x 10
= $ 80000
Simply, S(t) x t = 8000 x 10 = $ 80,000
The difference between the future value and the value of future value from the income stream provides the future value from the interest.
B - 80,000 = 98,365 - 80,000
So, the future value from the interest = $ 18,365

The testator signed the will in the presence of his father, and asked his father to sign the will as a witness, which his father did. The testator then showed the will to his adult son, told him that the signature on the will was his, and asked his son to sign the will as a witness as well. The testator's will devised $100,000 to his adult son, with the remainder of the testator's estate passing to his other two sons in equal shares. When the testator died, the will was offered for probate. The testator was survived by the father, the adult son, and the other two sons. As witnesses, the father and the son are asked to testify to the facts concerning the execution of the will. Should the testator's will be admitted to probate?

Gilberto Company currently manufactures 84,000 units per year of one of its crucial parts. Variable costs are $2.90 per unit, fixed costs related to making this part are $94,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $81,000 per year. Allocated fixed costs are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys the part. Gilberto is considering buying the part from a supplier for a quoted price of $4.10 per unit guaranteed for a three-year period. Calculate the total incremental cost of making 84,000 and buying 84,000 units. Should the company continue to manufacture the part, or should it buy the part from the outside supplier
Answer:
Cost to make $337,600
Cost to make $344,400
The company should make the product
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the total incremental cost of making 84,000 and buying 84,000 units
COST TO MAKE
Relevant per unit Relevant fixed cost Total relevant cost
Variable cost per unit $2.90 - $243,600(84000*$2.90)
Fixed manufacturing costs - $94,000 $94,000
Cost to make $337,600
($243,600+$94,000)
COST TO BUY
Relevant per unit Relevant fixed cost Total relevant cost
purchase per unit $4.10 - $344,400[$4.10*84000]
Cost to make $344,400
Based on the above calculation the cost of buying is higher than the cost of making therefore the company should MAKE the product.

Suppose the economy is self-regulating, the price level is 210, the quantity demanded of Real GDP and the quantity supplied of Real GDP in the short run both equal $9.7 trillion, and the quantity supplied of Real GDP in the long run is $10.2 trillion. Given all of this information, we can conclude the economy ________________ in short run equilibrium and that the price level in the long run equilibrium will be ______________ than 210.
Answer: is; less than
Explanation:
An economy is said to be in short-run equilibrium in a scenario whereby the aggregate amount of output that is demanded is equal to the aggregate amount of output that is supplied. In this situation, the quantity demanded of Real GDP and the quantity supplied of Real GDP in the short run both equal $9.7 trillion, therefore, the economy is in short run equilibrium.
Since the quantity supplied of Real GDP in the long run is $10.2 trillion which is higher than the $9.7 trillion supplied in the short run, then there'll be a reduction in the price level in the long run equilibrium as thus will be less than 210.

Mystery shoppers can also be hired by a company to check out the affairs of another company the same way they would the company hiring them. They would then be paid for their services.
