In the simple Keynesian model, there are three simplifying assumptions. Among these assumptions is: __________
a. the price level is flexible no foreign sector
b. the price level is constant until
c. the economy reaches its full-employment level
d. the money supply always rises b and c
Answer: B and C
No foreign sector
The price level is constant until the economy reaches its full-employment level
Explanation:
Keynesian economics refers to the theory that relates to total spending in the economy and how it affects output, Inflation and employment in the economy.
Assumptions of the Keynesian Model include:
• No foreign sector as economy is closed.
• Demand creates its own supply.
• The aggregate price level is fixed. ...
• The price level is constant until the economy reaches its full-employment level
• No retained earnings etc.
A business manager finds that the building expense each month is completely uncorrelated with revenue levels. What should the business manager assume about this cost?
Answer:
The business manager should assume that the building expense is fixed.
Explanation:
Fixed costs are not correlated with the revenue levels. Within the relevant range, fixed costs remain constant. They do not vary with the activity levels as variable costs do. For example, a manufacturer must pay for rent, repairs and maintenance, and utility bills irrespective of the revenue levels at which it is operating. This is why the business manager always discovers that the building expense each month does not correlate with the revenue levels, unlike the product's variable costs.

When Simple Semiconductors was operating at the minimum efficient scale of 10,000–12,000 units per month, the firm's cost per unit was $45. However, when the output level was increased beyond 12,000 units, the cost per unit increased to $47. This increase was attributed to the wear-and-tear of the machinery, and complexities of managing and coordinating. What is this phenomenon known as?
a) minimum efficient scale
b) diseconomies of scale
c) experience curve effect
d) learning-curve effect
Answer:
b
Explanation:
Diseconomies of scale is when a firm increases its output and cost per unit increases. This occurs when a firm produces beyond its minimum efficient scale
The minimum efficient scale is the lowest point on the cost curve where a firm can produce its output at the lowest cost
Diseconomies of scale is the opposite of economies of scale. Economies of scale is when as output is increases, cost per output falls.
A firm presents a market value balance sheet and a book value balance sheet to prospective investors. What is wrong with using the book value version of the balance sheet in making a decision to invest in the company?A : The book value is based on comparative values.B : The book value is too low compared to market values.C : The book value is based on historical values.D : The book value represents sample values used in the sheet.
Answer:
c
Explanation:
ABC Company's production budget for October is based on 500 units. Standard unit cost for raw materials is $130 per unit ($10 per pound x 13 pounds per unit).
ABC's actual production in October= = 525 units.
The actual cost of materials used = $69,300 ($11 per pound x 12 pounds per unit).
Required:
a. Calculate the raw materials price variance for October. Is it favorable or unfavorable?
b. Calculate the raw materials usage variance for October. Is it favorable or unfavorable?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
a. Raw material price variance is
= (standard price - actual price) × actual quantity
= ($10 - $11) × ($69,300 ÷ $11)
= ($10 - $11) × 6,300
= $6,300 unfavorable
b. The raw material usage variance is
= (Standard quantity - actual quantity) × standard price
= (525 × 13 - 6,300) × $10
= $5,250 favorable
In this way it should be calculated
Twenty graduate students in business were asked how many credit hours they were taking in the current quarter. Their responses are shown as follows:
Student Number Credit Hours Student Number Credit Hours Student Number Credit Hours
1 2 8 8 15 10
2 7 9 12 16 6
3 9 10 11 17 9
4 9 11 6 18 6
5 8 12 5 19 9
6 11 13 9 20 10
7 6 14 13
Required:
a. Determine the mean, median, and mode for this sample of data. Write a sentence explaining what each means.
b. It has been suggested that graduate students in business take fewer credits per quarter than the typical graduate student at this university. The mean for all graduate students is 9.1 credit hours per quarter, and the data are normally distributed. Set up the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses, and determine whether the null hypothesis can be rejected at a 95 percent confidence level.
Answer:
Since the calculated value of t= -1.016 does not fall in the critical region t ≥ 1.729 we conclude that the mean for all graduate students is 8.5 and fail to reject the null hypothesis.
Explanation:
Student Credit Student Credit Student Credit
Number Hours Number Hours Number Hours
1 2 8 8 15 10
2 7 9 12 16 6
3 9 10 11 17 9
4 9 11 6 18 6
5 8 12 5 19 9
6 11 13 9 20 10
7 6 14 13
The mean is the value which gives the average value of all the data.It is obtained by adding the value and dividing it by the number of values.
x`= ∑x/n
x`=2 +8 +10+ 7+ 12 + 6+ 9 +11+ 9 +9 +6 + 6 +8 + 5+ 9 +11+ 9+ 10+ 6 + 13/20
x`= 8.3
Median is the middle value which divides the data into two equal halves.
2 5,6,6,6,6, 7,8 ,8, 9,9, 9,9 ,9 ,10, 10,11,11, 12 , 13
For even number
Median = n/2=10 th.
Here the 10th value is 9 when the data is arranged in ascending order.
Mode=9
Mode gives the repeated value .
Let the hypotheses be
H0 : u = 8.5 vs Ha: u ≥ 8.5
The mean for all graduate students is 8.5
against the claim that
The mean for all graduate students is greater than 8.5
The sample mean x`= 8.5 and standard deviation s= 2.64
Putting in the test statistic
t= x`- u / s/ √n
t= 8.5-9.1/2.64/√20
t= -0.6/2.64/4.472
t= -1.016
The critical region for alpha = 0.05 for one tailed test with n-1= 2-0-1= 19 degrees of freedom is t ≥ 1.729
Since the calculated value of t= -1.016 does not fall in the critical region t ≥ 1.729 we conclude that the mean for all graduate students is 8.5 and fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Lang Warehouses borrowed $178,960 from a bank and signed a note requiring 8 annual payments of $28,819 beginning one year from the date of the agreement. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Required: Determine the interest rate implicit in this agreement. (
Answer: 6%
Explanation:
The annual payments can be considered to be annuity payments as they are constant. The amount borrowed can be considered the present value of the annuity.
Present value of annuity = Annuity * Present value interest factor of annuity, 8 years, %?
178,960 = 28,819 * Annuity factor
Annuity factor = 178,960 / 28,819
= 6.20979
To find out the interest rate, look at the Present Value of Annuity table and go to the 8 period column. Look for 6.20979. The interest rate that intersects with this factor is the interest rate implicit in this agreement.
That rate is 6%.
Strong, Inc., bundles two kinds of service activities into a single $6,000 fixed-price contract, yielding two distinct performance obligations, A and B. Each activity has a stand-alone selling price of $3,200. Obligation A is satisfied immediately upon contract signing. Obligation B is satisfied evenly over an eight-month period. After the date of contract signing and the satisfaction of obligation A, two months have passed. Cumulatively, how much revenue should Strong, Inc., recognize by the end of the second month
Answer:
the revenue recognized is $3,750
Explanation:
The computation of the revenue that recognized by the end of the second month is given below:
= $6,000 ÷ $6,400 × $3,200 + $6,000 ÷ $6,400 × $3,200 × 2 months ÷ 8 months
= $3,750
The $6,400 comes from
= $3,200 + $3,200
= $6,400
Hence, the revenue recognized is $3,750
The expected average rate of return for a proposed investment of $5,610,000 in a fixed asset, using straight-line depreciation, with a useful life of 20 years, no residual value, and an expected total net income of $16,830,000 over the 20 years is (round to two decimal points). a.15.00% b.30.00% c.1.50% d.60.00%
Answer:
b.30.00%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what the expected total net income of $16,830,000 over the 20 years is
Expected total net income =($16,830,000/20)/($5,610,000/2)*100
Expected total net income=$841,500/$2,805,000
Expected total net income =30.00%
Therefore the expected total net income of $16,830,000 over the 20 years is 30.00%

Bond Long will pay $1 in 20 years with a discount interest rate of 5% and Bond Short will pay $1 in 5 years with a discount interest rate of 10%. Which bond has the higher present value
Answer:
Bond short has higher present value.
Explanation:
Below is the calculation of present value:
Present value calculation of bond long.
Future value = $1
Time = 20 years
Present value = Future Value (P/F, n, r)
Present value = 1 (P/F, 20, 5%)
Present value = 1 x 0.376
Present value = 0.376
Present value calculation of bond short.
Future value = $1
Time = 5 years
Present value = Future Value (P/F, n, r)
Present value = 1 (P/F, 5, 10%)
Present value = 1 x 0.376
Present value = 0.6209
Bond short has higher present value.
Zigzag Manufacturing has just hired a new controller, Leslie Demorest. During her first week on the job, Leslie was asked to establish a budget for operating expenses in 2019. Since Leslie was not yet familiar with the operations of Zigzag Manufacturing, she decided to budget these expenses using the same procedures as the prior controller. Therefore, in order to establish a budget for operating expenses, Leslie started with actual operating expenses incurred in 2018 and added 3.8%. Leslie based this percentage on inflation as measured by the consumer price index.
Required: Comment on the effectiveness of Leslie’s budgeting strategy.
Answer:
Zigzag Manufacturing
The Effectiveness of Leslie Demorest's Budgeting Strategy
The strategy of adjusting the previous year's operating expenses with inflation is not an effective way of strategic budget planning. Leslie's budgeting strategy does not take advantage of forecasts of unexpectedly good performance and fails to provide any reaction that can occur when there are downturns in cash flow.
An effective budgeting strategy should provide the standard for the effective use of financial resources of Zigzag Manufacturing in its business operations. There are no clear goals to be achieved and an evaluation of how the goals will be achieved through the budget implementation.
Explanation:
An effective budget should be able to forecast and track revenues and expenses, which are received and incurred in pursuit of business goals and projections. An effective budget ensures that those who implement the projections contained in the budget remain motivated. The idea of adjusting previous expenses with inflation is not an effective budgeting strategy.
actor Co. can produce a unit of product for the following costs: Direct material $ 8.60 Direct labor 24.60 Overhead 43.00 Total product cost per unit $ 76.20 An outside supplier offers to provide Factor with all the units it needs at $48.40 per unit. If Factor buys from the supplier, the company will still incur 60% of its overhead. Factor should choose to:
Answer:
Relevant cost to make = Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable overhead
Relevant cost to make = $8.60 + $24.60 + $43.00 (1-60%)
Relevant cost to make = $8.60 + $24.60 + $17.20
Relevant cost to make = $50.40
Outside supplier cost ($48.40) < Relevant cost to make ($50.40). So, Factor should choose to buy because the relevent cost is less than outside supplier cost.
A small firm builds television antennas. The investment in plan and equipment is $200,000. The variable cost per television antenna is $500. The price of the television antenna is $1000. How many television antennas would be needed for the firm to break even
Answer:
Break-even quantity is 400 units.
Explanation:
Below is the calculation for the number of television antennas:
At break-even, the firm's total revenue is equal to the total cost.
Cost of investment (fixed cost) = $200000
Variable cost = $500
Pirce of television antenna = $1000
At break-even, TR = TC
(P x Q) = (TFC + TVC)
1000Q = 200000 + 500Q
10000Q-500Q = 200000
500Q = 200000
Q = 200000 / 500
Q = 400 units
Thus break-even quantity is 400 units.
We are given the following information for the Pettit Corporation.
Sales (credit) $3,549,000
Cash 179,000
Inventory 911,000
Current liabilities 788,000
Asset turnover 1.40 times
Current ratio 2.95 times
Debt-to-assets ratio 40%
Receivables turnover 7 times
Current assets are composed of cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable, and inventory.
Calculate the following balance sheet items:
a. Accounts receivable.
b. Marketable securities.
c. Fixed assets.
d. Long-term debt.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
a. Accounts receivables
= Sales / Receivables turnover
= $3,549,000 / 7x
= $507,000
b. Marketable securities
= Current assets - (Cash + Accounts receivable + Inventory)
Where;
Current asset = Current ratio × Current liabilities
Current asset = 2.95 × $788,000
Current asset = $2,348,240
Hence,
Marketable securities
= $2,348,240 - ($179,000 + $507,000 + $911,000)
= $2,348,240 - $1,597,000
= $751,240
c. Fixed assets
Total assets = Current assets + Fixed assets
$2,535,000 = $2,348,240 + Fixed assets
Fixed assets = $2,535,000 - $2,348,240
Fixed assets = $186,760
d. Long term debt
= Total debt - Current liabilities
Where,
Total debt = Debt to assets × Total assets
= 40% × ($3,549,000 / 1.40)
= 40% × $2,535,000
= $1,014,000
Hence,
Long term debt
= $1,014,000 - $788,000
= $226,000

what is the effect on market when suppliers under invest in their businesses
Answer:
Low supplyScarcityLow economic growthExplanation:
When suppliers under invest in their business, they will end up having the capacity to only produce less than the market requires. Should this happen, supply will be reduced in the market which would lead to relative scarcity all else being equal.
For economic growth to happen, there must be increasing production in an economy so if suppliers are under investing and production is low, there might be low or no economic growth.
If the shadow price for a resource is 0 (the allowable increase is 1000) and 150 units of the resource are added what happens to the optimal solution
Answer:
The answer is "No change"
Explanation:
The optimal solution is a feasible alternative where the optimal solution reaches its highest (or lowest) values, including most profit and the price is lower. There is no other viable solution with an objective function that is universally ideal. Whenever the resource regression coefficient is 0, the best solution would not be changed.

When 30-year-old Lindsay was in a coma for 3 months, her friend Corey had the legal authority to handle her personal, financial, and medical affairs. Why did Corey have the legal right to do this? A. Corey was her life insurance agent. B. She had chosen Corey as her executor. C. Corey was named as her guardian. D. Corey had designated power of attorney.
Answer:
The correct answer is C. Corey was named as her guardian.
Explanation:
A legal guardian is a person appointed by a guardianship authority or a district court to represent a principal in matters where he or she is unable to control his or her own interests or manage his or her affairs himself or herself for other reasons, usually health. A legal guardian cannot act as such in matters where he or she and the principal could have a conflict of interest. Thus, in short, the guardian has the power to make decisions by and for the principal, without requiring the consent of the principal, who consents to his actions by means of a prior mandate.
