g Phoenix industries has pulled off a miraculous recovery. Four years ago it was near bankruptcy. Today, it was announced a $1 per share dividend to be paid a year from now, the first dividend since the crisis. Analysts expect dividends to increase by $1 a year for another 2 years. After the third year dividends growth is expected to settle down to a more moderate longterm growth rate of 8%. If the firm's investors expect to earn a return of 16% on this stock, what must the price be
Answer:
Market Share price $ 31,12
Explanation:
The price of the stock will be the same as the present value of their dividends:
Year Dividend Presnet Value
First year $1,00 $ 0,8621
Second $2,00 $ 1,7241
Third $3,00 $ 2,5862
Total Value $ 5,1724
Now, we solve for the horizon value
3 x (1.08) / (0.16 - 0.08) = 40,50
And, as this is three year ahead we also discounted like the other dividends:
[tex]\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]
Maturity 40,50
time 3,00
rate 0,16
[tex]\frac{40,5}{(1 + 0,16)^{3} } = PV[/tex]
PV 25,95
And last, we add up the horizon with the other dividends:
5.17 + 25,95 = 31,12

The above activities are used by Departments P and Q as follows: Department P Department Q Account inquiry (hours) 400 800 Account billing (lines) 10,000 4,000 Account verification (accounts) 6,000 7,000 Correspondence (letters) 1,000 2,000 What is the cost per driver unit for the account inquiry activity? (Round all answers to two decimal places.) A. $29.72 B. $7.73 C. $7.84 D.
Answer:
A. $29.72
Explanation:
The calculation of cost per driver unit is shown below:-
Cost per driver unit = Indirect cost relating to account inquiry ÷ Allocation base relating to account inquiry
= $86,200 ÷ 2,900
= $29.72 per hour
Therefore for computing the cost per driver unit we simply divide the Indirect cost relating to account inquiry by allocation base relating to account inquiry.

Modern Flooring is considering a new product line. The new line would require $134,000 of fixed assets and net working capital of $24,000. The firm will apply straight-line depreciation to a zero salvage value over three years. The new line is expected to produce an operating cash flow of $35,000 the first year with that amount decreasing by 10 percent annually for two years before the new line will be discontinued. The fixed assets can be sold for $25,000 at the end of the project and all net working capital will be recovered. What is the net present value of the new line at a discount rate of 11.5 percent and a tax rate of 35 percent
Answer:
-51,784
Explanation:
Net present value can be calculated by first calculating the present values of operating cash flows each year and the sum up all the present values.
Year 0 1 2 3
Operating CF 35000 31500 28350
Fixed asset -134000
Net working capital -24000 24000

Year 3 = 1/(1.115)^3 = 0.721
The cost of equipment purchased by Bonita, Inc., on June 1, 2020, is $119,700. It is estimated that the machine will have a $10,500 salvage value at the end of its service life. Its service life is estimated at 7 years, its total working hours are estimated at 54,600, and its total production is estimated at 728,000 units. During 2020, the machine was operated 6,600 hours and produced 60,500 units. During 2021, the machine was operated 6,050 hours and produced 52,800 units. Compute depreciation expense on the machine for the year ending December 31, 2020, and the year ending December 31, 2021, using the following methods. (Round depreciation per unit to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25 and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 45,892.) 2020 2021 (a) Straight-line $ $ (b) Units-of-output $ $ (c) Working hours $ $ (d) Sum-of-the-years'-digits $ $ (e) Double-declining-balance (twice the straight-line rate)
Answer:
(a) Straight-line $ $
straight line depreciation expense = $109,200 / 7 = $15,600
depreciation expense 2020 = $15,600 x 7/12 = $9,100
depreciation expense 2020 = $15,600
(b) Units-of-output $ $
depreciation expense per unit of output = $109,200 / 728,000 = $0.15 per unit
depreciation expense 2020 = $0.15 x 60,500 = $9,075
depreciation expense 2020 = $0.15 x 52,800 = $7,920
(c) Working hours $ $
depreciation expense per working hour = $109,200 / 54,600 = $2 per working hour
depreciation expense 2020 = $2 x 6,600 = $13,200
depreciation expense 2020 = $2 x 6,050 = $12,100
(d) Sum-of-the-years'-digits
total years = 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 28
depreciation expense 2020 = $109,200 x 7/28 x 7/12 = $15,925
depreciation expense 2021 = ($27,300 - $15,925) + (109,200 x 6/28 x 7/12) = $25,025
(e) Double-declining-balance (twice the straight-line rate)
depreciation expense 2020 = $119,700 x 2/7 x 7/12 = $19,950
depreciation expense 2021 = ($34,200 - $19,950) + ($85,500 x 2/7 x 7/12) = $28,500
Explanation:
depreciable value = $119,700 - $10,500 = $109,200
useful life = 7 years
working hours = 54,600
production = 728,000 units

Determine the amount of tax liability in the following situations. In all cases, the taxpayer is using the filing status of married filing jointly. Use the appropriate Tax Tables or Tax Rate Schedules.
1. Taxable income of $62,449 that includes a qualified dividend of $560.
2. Taxable income of $12,932 that includes a qualified dividend of $322.
3. Taxable income of $144,290 that includes a qualified dividend of $4,384. (Round your intermediate computations to 2 decimal places and final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
4. Taxable income of $43,297 that includes a qualified dividend of $971.
5. Taxable income of $262,403 that includes a qualified dividend of $12,396. (Round your intermediate computations to 2 decimal places and final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
Answer:
1. Taxable income of $62,449 that includes a qualified dividend of $560.
tax liability = $1,975 + [12% x ($62,449 - $19,750)] = $7,098.88
2. Taxable income of $12,932 that includes a qualified dividend of $322.
tax liability = $12,932 x 10% = $1,293.20
3. Taxable income of $144,290 that includes a qualified dividend of $4,384.
tax liability = $9,235 + [22% x ($144,290 - $80,250)] + ($4,384 x 15%) = $23,981.40 ≈ $23,981
4. Taxable income of $43,297 that includes a qualified dividend of $971.
tax liability = $1,975 + [12% x ($43,297 - $19,750)] = $4,800.64 ≈ $4,801
5. Taxable income of $262,403 that includes a qualified dividend of $12,396.
tax liability = $29,211 + [24% x ($262,403 - $171,050)] + ($12,396 x 15%) = $52,995.12 ≈ $52,995
Explanation:
I used the 2020 tax bracket. Everyone earning over $78,750 but less than $488,850 must pay a 15% tax rate for their qualified dividends.
Lear Inc. has $940,000 in current assets, $420,000 of which are considered permanent current assets. In addition, the firm has $740,000 invested in fixed assets.
A. Lear wishes to finance all fixed assets and half of its permanent current assets with long-term financing costing 9%. The balance will be financed with short-term financing, which currently costs 5%. Lear’s earnings before interest and taxes are $340,000. Determine Lear’s earnings after taxes under this financing plan. The tax rate is 30%.
B. As an alternative. Lear might wish to finance all fixed assets and permanent current assets plus half of its temporary current assets with long-term financing and the balance with short-term financing. The same interest rates apply as in part a. Earnings before interest and taxes will be $340,000. What will be Lear's earnings after taxes? The tax rate is 30%.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
A. Current assets = permanent current assets + temporary current assets
Temporary current assets:
= $940,000 - $420,000
= $520,000
Short-term interest expense:
= 5% × [$520,000 + ½ ($420,000)]
= 5% ($520,000 + $210,000)
= 5% × ($730,000)
= 0.05 × $730,000
= $36,500
Long-term interest:
= 9% × [$740,000 + ½ ($420,000)]
= 9% × ($740,000 + $210,000)
= 9% × $950,000
= 0.09 × $950,000
= $85,500
Total interest expense:
= $36,500 + $85,500
= $122,000
Earnings before interest and taxes $340,000
Less: Interest expense = $122,000
Earnings before taxes = $218,000
Less: Taxes (30%) = $65,400
Earnings after taxes = $152,600
B. Short term interest expense:
= $260,000 × 5%
= $260,000 × 0.05
= $13,000
Long term interest expense:
= ($740,000 + $420,000 + $260,000) × 9%
= $1,420,000 × 0.09
= $127,800
Total interest expense:
= $13000 + $127800
= $140,800
Earnings before interest and taxes $340,000
Less: Interest expense = $140,800
Earnings before taxes = $199,200
Less: Taxes (30%) = $59760
Earnings after taxes = $139440

Answer:
$15.76
Explanation:
beginning WIP 500 units
materials 85% complete, so 15% added during the period (EUP during current month = 75 units)
conversion costs 55% complete, so 45% added during the period (EUP during current month = 225 units)
units started 7,000
units transferred out 6,100
units started and transferred out = 6,100 - 500 = 5,600 (EUP = 5,600 units)
ending WIP 1,400 units
materials 60% complete (EUP = 840 units)
conversion costs 50% complete (EUP = 700 units)
materials cost for the month = $102,700
total EUP for the month = 6,515 units
total cost per EUP for materials = $102,700 / 6,515 = $15.7636 ≈ $15.76

Answer:
0.80
Explanation:
The computation of the debt to equity ratio is shown below:-
Total debt = Current Liabilities + Long - term liabilities
= $200,000 + $40,000
= $240,000
Total Equity = Shareholders’ equity = $300,000
Now,
Debt to equity ratio = Total Debt ÷ Total Equity
= $240,000 ÷ $300,000
= 0.80
2) If a country, like the US, can produce all of the goods and services needed by
their citizens, why would they want to specialize in producing only some products
and trade with other countries for other products wanted by their citizens?
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Specialization means a company or country concentrating on producing few commodities. In practice, a state or company will focus on the products it can produce more efficiently. It means focusing on goods they can manufacture at a lower cost compared to other countries.
The USA can specialize in the goods and services it can produce at a lower cost than other nations. It can then export these products to other countries at competitive prices. For products that are costly to manufacture in the USA, it is prudent to import them from countries that can produce them at lower costs.
Some products manufactured in other countries at a lower cost may be sold in the USA at fair prices than when produced in the USA.

Who designed the Parthenon?
At the beginning of the month, the Painting Department of Skye Manufacturing had 24,000 units in inventory, 80% complete as to materials, and 20% complete as to conversion. The cost of the beginning inventory, $32,650, consisted of $26,400 of material costs and $6,250 of conversion costs. During the month the department started 119,000 units and transferred 126,000 units to the next manufacturing department. Costs added in the current month consisted of $283,440 of materials costs and $562,825 of conversion costs. At the end of the month, the department had 17,000 units in inventory, 30% complete as to materials and 15% complete as to conversion. If Skye Manufacturing uses the weighted average method of process costing, compute the costs per equivalent unit of materials and conversion respectively for the Painting Department.
Answer:
Materials $2,36
Conversion $4,43
Explanation:
Weighted-Average:
completed + ending WIP
(there is not differenciation between completed and started and completed)
Equivalent units Materials: 126,000 + 17,000 x 30% = 131,1 00
Conversion: 126,000 + 17,000 x 15% = 128,55 0
Material Equivalent cost:
283,440 + 26,400 = 309,840
$309,840 / 131,100 = 2,3633867
Conversion Equivalent cost:
562,825 + 6,250 = 569,075
569,075 / 128,550 = 4,4268767

Answer:
Michelin sells tires to Nissan to install on their 2019 Sentras that are produced and sold in the United States.
Not included in the GDP since tires are a component of new cars, they are not a final product.American consumers import $3.5 billion of woven apparel from Bangladesh.
Included in the GDP as imports, which reduce total net exports (NX).The U.S. government spent $523.1 billion on national defense.
Included in the GDP as government spending (G).Entrepreneur and Shark Tank investor Barbara Corcoran purchases 15% of Cousins Maine Lobster food truck company for $55,000.
Not included int he GDP since sale of stocks or ownership stakes at businesses are not considered final goods or services.During the next two months, General Cars must meet (on time) the following demands for trucks and cars:
month 1—400 trucks, 800 cars;
month 2—300 trucks, 300 cars.
During each month, at most 1,000 vehicles can be produced.
Each truck uses 2 tons of steel, and each car uses 1 ton of steel.
During month 1, steel costs $400 per ton; during month 2, steel costs $600 per ton.
At most, 1,500 tons of steel may be purchased each month (steel may only be used during the month in which it is purchased).
At the beginning of month 1, 100 trucks and 200 cars are in inventory. At the end of each month, a holding cost of $150 per vehicle is assessed. Each car gets 20 mpg, and each truck gets 10 mpg. During each month, the vehicles produced by the company must average at least 16 mpg.
Formulate an LP to meet the demand and mileage requirements at minimum cost (include steel costs and holding costs).
Answer:
the formulation of the given linear program is,
Minimize
z = 400S1 + 600S2 + 150 ( LT1 + LT2 + LC1 + LC2)
Subject to the constraints
T1 + C1 ≤ I000
T2 + C2 ≤ 1000
2T1 + C1 = S1
2T2 + C2 = S2
100 + T1 = 400 + LT1
LT1 + LT2 = 300 + LT2
200 + C1 = 800 + LC1
LC1 + C2 = 300 + LC2
S1,S2 ≤ 1 500
4C1 - 6T1 ≥ 0
4C2 - 6T2 ≥ 0
All variables ≥ 0
Explanation:
Firstly;
Let T1 be number of trucks to be produced in month 1 and T2 be number of trucks to be produced in month 2.
Let C1 be number of cars to be produced in month 1 and C2 be number of cars to be produced In month 2.
Let S1 be tons of steel used in month 1 and S2 be tons of steel used in month 2.
Let LT1 be number of trucks in inventory at the end of month 1 and LT2 be number of trucks In inventory at the end of month 2.
Let LC1 be number of cars in inventory at the end of month 1 and LC2 be number of cars in inventory at the end of month 2.
Now the objective is to minimize the cost, so
z = [(cost of steel during month 1)(tons of steel used in month 1)] + [(cost of steel during month 2)( tons of steel used in month 2)] + [(holding cost at the end of each month )(trucks and cars in inventory at the end of each month)]
= 400S1 + 600S2 + 150 ( LT1 + LT2 + LC1 + LC2)
Thus, the objective function Is, Minimize
z = 400S1 + 600S2 + 150 ( LT1 + LT2 + LC1 + LC2)
Constraint1 Each month, the production capacity of the vehicle is 1000 vehicles.
Number of trucks produced in month 1 + number of cant produced in month 1 ≤ 1000
T1 + C1 ≤ 1000
Number of trucks produced in month 2 + number of cars produced in month 2 ≤ 1000
T2 + C2 ≤ 1000
Constraint2 Each month. each truck uses 2 tons of steel and each car uses 1 ton of steel.
[(Tons of steel used to produce truck in month 1) + (tons of steel used to produced cars in month 1)] = S1
2T1 + C1 = S1
[(Tons of steel used to produce truck in month 2) + (tons of steel used to produced cars in month 2)] = S2
2T2 + C2 = S2
Constraint3 At the beginning of month 1, 100 trucks are in inventory.
[100 trucks at the beginning are in inventory +
number of trucks produced in month 1] = [400 trucks are demanded in month 1 + number of trucks in inventory at the end of the month 1]
100 + T1 = 400 + LT1
[trucks at the beginning of month 2 in inventory + number of trucks produced in month 2 ] = [300 trucks are demanded in month 2 + number of trucks in inventory at the end of the month 2]
LT1 + T2 = 300 + LT1
Constraint 4 At the beginning of month 1, 200 cars are in Inventory
[200 cars at the beginning are in inventory + number of cars produced in month 1] = [800 cars are demanded in month 1 + number of cars in inventory at the end of the month 1]
200 + C1 = 800 + LC1
[cars at the beginning of month 2 in inventory + number of cars produced in month 2 ] = [300 cars are demanded in month 2 + number of cars in inventory at the end of the month 2]
LC1 + C2 = 300 + LC2
Constraint 5 At most, 1,500 tons of steel can be purchased each month.
S1 ≤ 1,500
S2 ≤ 1,500
Constraint 6 Each month, vehicle produced by company must average at least 16mpg.
[{{(mpg of trucks)(number of trucks produced in month 1)} + {(mpg of cars)(number of cars produced in month 1)}} / {(number of trucks produced in month 1 ) + ( number of Cars produced in month 1)}] ≥ 16
(10T1 + 20C1 / T1 + C1) ≥ 16
4C1 - 6T1 ≥ 0
[{{(mpg of trucks)(number of trucks produced in month 2)} + {(mpg of cars)(number of cars produced in month 2)}} / {(number of trucks produced in month 2 ) + ( number of Cars produced in month 2)}] ≥ 16
(10T2 + 20C2 / T2 + C2) ≥ 16
4C2 - 6T2 ≥ 0
Therefore, the formulation of the given linear program is,
Minimize
z = 400S1 + 600S2 + 150 ( LT1 + LT2 + LC1 + LC2)
Subject to the constraints
T1 + C1 ≤ I000
T2 + C2 ≤ 1000
2T1 + C1 = S1
2T2 + C2 = S2
100 + T1 = 400 + LT1
LT1 + LT2 = 300 + LT2
200 + C1 = 800 + LC1
LC1 + C2 = 300 + LC2
S1,S2 ≤ 1 500
4C1 - 6T1 ≥ 0
4C2 - 6T2 ≥ 0

On March 2, 2015, Best Buy co. announced that it planned to repurchase up to $1 billion of its common shares. The company also announced on that day that an increase in its quarterly dividend from $0.19 to $0.23 per share, and a one-time special dividend of $0.51 per share. The special dividend resulted from a windfall legal settlement related to manufacture of liquid crystal displays it had sold. Which method of returning capital to investors (repurchases, regular dividends, special dividends) do you think is viewed by shareholders most favorably, and why
Answer:
Follows are the solution to this question:
Explanation:
The company sold the quantum dot produce will have a huge amount of money in the company, shareholders may have differing opinions to use that money the holds the surplus. As capital becomes kept, this hardly increases the value of a business or takes the investors through their pockets.
Position of the investor on (repurchasing, earnings)
Payout and buyback of shares are considered a factor influencing shareholders' interest and some factors are based on investor interest.
Current income source
Many investors can only be the source of revenue for such investors so that they'd prefer to have a regular dividend. Then the more current revenue you earn its most beneficial is a unique dividend. Share buybacks as an opportunity to share in order to collect large sums of cash.
Productive investments value
Those who become shareholders that must increase the asset's lengthy-term price, — for example stock values by companies investing in positive NPV ventures and in this case increase the interest of existing investors.
Improved future dividend
Just after the purchase of shares in share price issuance, a number of shares will be limited, and effective dividends rise per share. It means that an investor will acquire a further equity interest in the business by buying back preferred stock.
Focused on the hypotheses of dividends, repurchases, or portion share price plus repurchases, there are many mainly three opinions.
Many people would prefer the $0.51 dividend payment as a sum of money that was received in the case of a dividend. And at the same time, there will be an idea that the dividends must be paid regularly as well as the remaining cash must buy safely.
QUESTION 8 of 10: You are counting your competitors in town. This number is a(n):
a) Irrational number
b) Integer
c)Imaginary number
d) None of the above
Answer:B; Integer
Explanation:Integer is like a whole number(1,2,3,4, etc) it cannot be decimals. Since there can’t be 2.5 people, the answer is B- Integers
While counting the competitors in town, integers will be used. This number is an integer because the counting of people can never be done in an irrational or integer form. Therefore, B is the correct option.
What is an integer?An integer is a whole number in itself. An integer can be zero, a negative digit, or a positive digit as well. The examples of integers are 1,2,3,4,5,0, -1,-2, -3, -4, -5 and so on.
The irrational numbers or integers cant be used for counting or measuring human beings whether the integers can be used to so. Integers are used in various ways in our daily life. Such as measuring temperatures and our money on debit cards and credit cards.
Integers will be utilized to count the local rivals. Since counting persons can never be done in an irrational or integer form, this quantity is an integer. B is therefore the best choice.

Acceptance. Amy Kemper was seriously injured when her motorcycle was struck by a vehicle driven by Christopher Brown. Kemper’s attorney wrote to Statewide Claims Services, the administrator for Brown’s insurer, asking for "all the insurance money that Mr. Brown had under his insurance policy." In exchange, the letter indicated that Kemper would sign a "limited release" on Brown’s liability, provided that it did not include any language requiring her to reimburse Brown or his insurance company for any of their incurred costs. Statewide then sent a check and release form to Kemper, but the release demanded that Kemper "place money in an escrow account in regards to any and all liens pending." Kemper refused the demand, claiming that Statewide’s response was a counteroffer rather than an unequivocal acceptance of the settlement offer. Did Statewide and Kemper have an enforceable agreement? Discuss.
Answer:
In the clarification section down, the definition including its concern is mentioned.
Explanation:
In terms of strategy, two important components necessarily entail an "Agreement."
Offer AcceptanceStep 1: Approval + Bid = Agreement
Step 2: Agreement + Enforceability = Contract.
Throughout water to establish a legal Arrangement or Contract, those would be the two underlying equations to be met. Going to come to something like the case's reality, The counsel for Kemper addressed to Statewide Claims Management, Brown's insurance company agent, calling for "all the premium money something which Mr. Brown seems to be under his insurance contract." Statewide decided to send the document and perhaps freedom of the individual to Kemper throughout reaction to the aforementioned request, however, they pointed to Kemper's current requirement that she should put money during an emergency fund concerning anything and everything outstanding liens.Kemper disagreed with all of the above assumptions as well as denied the proposal, arguing that perhaps the response from Nationwide was a counteroffer. If we correctly examine the aforementioned situation, without even any discussion, we will realize that it is indeed a pure "Counter Bid." Why whenever the offender becomes encouraged with just 2 choices, YES/NO, whenever an Offeror makes an object to something like the Offeree. and then when the promise offers a conditional response, it destroys the initial offer so it corresponds to Counter Offer.In quite a similar manner, the Nationwide reaction to Kemper's letter here alone leads to "Counter Bid" and becomes an Absolute acceptance, but not. i.e., there is no approval of an invitation, and no deal remains.There is, however, no "Acceptance" to either the original Bid, and therefore no binding mediation agreements between Nationwide and Kemper have been established.

Answer:
James did not like the fact that he had no input in his productivity goal. Because of this, his Goal acceptance was low and he did not take it as seriously as if he had set the same goal himself.
Goal acceptance refers to the willingness of an individual to receive or consent internally to a certain goal. It is usually higher when the individual is contributes to the setting of the goal and it is low here as James did not have any input into it.
Carol always tries extremely hard to reach her performance goal. She takes it personally when she falls short, which rarely happens because she is so dedicated to reaching it. Carol's Goal commitment is high.
Goal commitment refers to how much dedication and effort a person puts into meeting an objective. Carol puts a lot of effort into achieving her goals so her Goal commitment is high.
After organizational and subsidiary goals are set, each manager meets with each subordinate to explain the unit goals to the subordinate. Together the two determine how the subordinate can contribute to the unit's goals most effectively. This is called Management by objectives.
Management by Objectives is a type of management that works by making sure that employees understand the goals that management set. It works by management and employees working together to find out how best employees can meet the goals set.
3. Continuous review inventory control is being applied to purchase motors for an electric fan manufacturer. Demand is uniformly distributed between 500 and 600 motors per week. Each order costs $250 to prepare, place and receive. Motors cost $2.75/unit and the holding cost rate is 1% per week. Management proposes using the EOQ order quantity and setting reorder points to ensure a 97% fill rate. Find the imputed(implied) cost of a shortage and the expected number of shortages per year.
Answer:
The expected no. of shortage will be "0.27".
Explanation:
The given values are:
Ordering cost,
O = $250
Holding cost (i),
= 1% (per week)
= 52% (a year)
Cost of goods (C),
= $2.75
The average annual demand is:
[tex]=\frac{600+500}{2}\times 52 \ weeks[/tex]
[tex]=28600 \ units[/tex]
Now,
⇒ [tex]EOQ=\sqrt{(2\times D\times \frac{O}{C}\times i)}[/tex]
[tex]=\sqrt{2\times 18600\times \frac{250}{2.75}\times 52 \ percent}[/tex]
[tex]=\sqrt{10000000}[/tex]
[tex]=3162.27[/tex]
In a year, the number of orders will be:
⇒ [tex]\frac{D}{EOQ}=\frac{28600}{3162.27}[/tex]
[tex]=9.04 \ i.e., \ 9 \ orders[/tex]
Demand mean will be:
= [tex]\frac{500+600}{2}[/tex]
= [tex]550 \ units \ Demand \ SD[/tex]
= [tex]max[\frac{(Upper \ limit - Mean)}{3} , \frac{(mean-lower \ limit)}{3} ][/tex]
= [tex]max [\frac{50}{3} ,\frac{50}{3} ][/tex]
= [tex]16.66 \ units[/tex]
So, in a year, the expected number of the shortages will be:
⇒ [tex]Number \ of \ orders \ in \ a \ year\times fill \ rate[/tex]
⇒ [tex]9\times (1-97 \ percent)[/tex]
⇒ [tex]0.27[/tex]
A small nation of 10 people idolizes the TV show The Voice. All they produce and consume are karaoke machines and CDs, in the following amounts: Karaoke Machines CDs Quantity Price Quantity Price (Dollars) (Dollars) 2020 20 50 60 5 2021 21 70 80 6 Using a method similar to that used to calculate the consumer price index, the percentage change in the overall price level is . (Note: Use 2020 as the base year, and fix the basket at 2 karaoke machines and 6 CDs.) Using a method similar to that used to calculate the GDP deflator, the percentage change of the overall price level is . (Note: Again, use 2020 as the base year.) Which of the following statements is correct
Answer:
1. Using a method similar to that used to calculate the consumer price index, the percentage change in the overall price level is;
Value of market basket of the good in 2020
= (50 * 2) + (5 * 6)
= $130
Value of market basket of the good in 2021
= (70 * 2) + (6 * 6)
= $176
CPI in 2020
= 130/ 130 * 100
= 100
CPI in 2021
= 176 / 130 * 100
= 135.38
Percentage change
= (135.38 - 100)/100
= 35.38%.
2. Using a method similar to that used to calculate the GDP deflator, the percentage change of the overall price level is ;
Nominal GDP in 2020 = (50 * 20) + (5 * 60) = $1,300
Nominal GDP in 2021 = (70 * 21) + (6 * 80) = $1,950
Real GDP using 2020 prices
Real GDP in 2020 = (50 * 20) + (5 * 60) = $1,300
Real GDP in 2021 = (50 * 21) + (5 * 80) = $1,450
GDP deflator in 2020 = (Nominal GDP in 2020 / Real GDP in 2020) * 100 = (1,300 / 1,300) * 100 = 100
GDP deflator in 2021 = (Nominal GDP in 2021 / Real GDP in 2021) * 100 = (1,950 / 1,450) * 100 = 134.48
Percentage Change = [(134.48 - 100) / 100] * 100
= 34.48%
What are the major objectives of macroeconomics? Write a brief definition of each of these objectives. Explain carefully why each objective is important?
Answer:
Some of the major objectives of macroeconomics are:
Economic growth: more specifically, non-inflationary, sustainable economic growth, in order to raise the living standards of the people by increasing the production of goods and services.Low inflation: inflation is the general rise in the price level of goods and services of a economy within a period of time. High inflation has shown to be damaging to the economy, and this is why one of the most important macroeconomic goals is to keep inflation low.Low unemployment: unemployment is very damaging for both individuals and society. Unemployed people are likely to be unable to live by themselves. Maintaining unemployment low is one of the most important macroeconomic objectives and it often conflicts with the goal of keeping inflation low, at least in the short-term.Balanced Budget: macroeconomists try to advise governments to keep low levels of debt, and to not spend too much more than they earn from tax revenue, public entreprise profits, and other sources of public income.
