According to new trade theory, trade, through its impact on economies of scale, is most likely to reduce the volume of the goods produced. decrease the variety of goods available to consumers. decrease the average costs of goods. inhibit first-mover advantages in all industries. benefit only nations that differ in resource endowments or technology.
Answer:
Option C (Decrease of the average cost of goods) seems to be the right response to the key statement.
Explanation:
NTT seems to be a compilation of business theories for world commerce, considering the role of size distribution rates of return as well as efficiency gains or effects on the network.And as per this theory, in addition to its effect on the economy of scale, trade or exchange is much more probable to reduce the total amount of goods and services.Other possibilities aren't related to something like the scenario in question. So option C seems to be the perfect solution.

Aliyah is preparing to expand her IT consulting company. The current market rate for IT professionals is $58,000 per year. Each employee she hires will also require a computer and equipment that costs $6,000 per employee annually. Hiring more employees means that Aliyah can provide consulting services to more clients each year. Each client Aliyah has will pay her $10,000 per year.The number of clients Aliyah can take on is dependent on the number of workers she hires and is depicted in the accompanying table.Use this information to calculate the marginal cost and the marginal benefit of hiring each worker.Number of workers Clients per year0 01 112 203 274 32a. The first worker's marginal cost is $__________.b. The first worker's marginal benefit is $__________.c. The second worker's marginal cost is $__________.d. The second worker's marginal benefit is $__________.e. The third worker's marginal cost is $__________.f. The third worker's marginal benefit is $__________.g. The fourth worker's marginal cost is $__________.h. The fourth worker's marginal benefit is $__________.i. Using the rational rule to maximize her economic surplus, Aliyah should hire _________ workers.
Answer and Explanation:
a. The first worker marginal cost is
= The current market rate for IT professional + computer and equipment costing
= $58,000 + $6,000
= $64,000 per year
b.The marginal benefit per worker for hiring first worker is
= Pay each client × number of clients
= $10,000 × 11 clients
= $110,000
c . The second worker marginal cost is
= The current market rate for IT professional + computer and equipment costing
= $58,000 + $6,000
= $64,000 per year
d The second worker marginal benefit is
= Pay each client × number of clients
= $10,000 × (20 clients - 11 clients)
= $90,000
e The third worker marginal cost is
= The current market rate for IT professional + computer and equipment costing
= $58,000 + $6,000
= $64,000 per year
f. The third worker marginal benefit is
= Pay each client × number of clients
= $10,000 × (27 clients - 20 clients)
= $70,000
g. The fourth worker marginal cost is
= The current market rate for IT professional + computer and equipment costing
= $58,000 + $6,000
= $64,000 per year
h. The fourth worker marginal benefit is
= Pay each client × number of clients
= $10,000 × (32 clients - 27 clients)
= $50,000
I. Aliyah will employ 3 workers, because the extra marginal gain to the worker is greater than the marginal cost. It implies the hiring worker's cost is less than the benefits they receive.
In economics terms, the marginal cost is the cost that is caused by a change in the total cost that arises because of the increase in the quantity produced, and the cost of producing the additional quantity. It is calculated as the change in the cost is divided by the change in quantity.
a. The first worker marginal cost is
= The current market rate for IT professionals + computer and equipment cost
= $58,000 + $6,000
= $64,000 per year
b.The marginal benefit per worker for hiring the first worker is
[tex]= \text{Pay each client} \times \text{number of clients}&= \$10,000 \times 11 \:clients\\&= \$110,000[/tex]
c . The second worker marginal cost is

Tiberius Manufacturing is considering two alternative investment proposals with the following data: Proposal X Proposal Y Investment $ 11 comma 600 comma 000 $ 480 comma 000 Useful life 5 years 5 years Estimated annual net cash inflows for 5 years $ 2 comma 320 comma 000 $ 95 comma 000 Residual value $ 54 comma 000 $ 24 comma 000 Depreciation method Straightminusline Straightminusline Required rate of return 14% 14% Calculate the accounting rate of return for Proposal Y. (Round any intermediate calculations and your final answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:
1.51%
Explanation:
The computation of the accounting rate of return is shown below:
Accounting rate of return = Average annual profit ÷ average investment
where,
Average annual profit is
= Estimated annual net cash inflows for 5 years - annual depreciation
= $95,000 - ($480,000 - $24,000) ÷ 5 years
= $95,000 - $91,200
= $3,800
And, the average annual investment is
= (Initial Investment + Scrap Value) ÷ 2
= ($480,000 + $24,000) ÷ 2
= $252,000
Now placing these values to the above formula
So, the accounting rate of return is
= $3,800 ÷ $252,000
= 1.51%

On January 1, Year 1, Hart Company issued bonds with a face value of $123,000, a stated rate of interest of 16 percent, and a five-year term to maturity. Interest is payable in cash on December 31 of each year. The effective rate of interest was 15 percent at the time the bonds were issued. The bonds sold for $127,123. Hart used the effective interest rate method to amortize the bond premium.
Prepare an amortization table.
Answer:
Find attached amortization table Hart Company bonds.
Explanation:
The amortization schedule starts with cash proceeds received from bondholders of $127,123,then adds interest expense to the cash proceeds using 15% effective interest rat i.e 15%*$127,123 and thereafter deducts interest payment which is 16% of face value i.e 16% *$123,000.

Under _________dividend reinvestment plan, the company gives any cash dividends that investors would have received in a bank, which acts as a trustee. The bank then uses the money to repurchase the company’s existing stock in the stock market. The bank then allocates the shares purchased to the participating stockholders’ accounts on a pro rata basis.
Answer:
Old Stock
Explanation:
The Dividend Reinvestment Plan is a platform where investors or shareholders in a company, reinvest the dividends they gained into more shares sold by the same company, most times without having to pay commissions.
Under the Old stock dividend reinvestment plan, an outside trustee, that is, a member of the board who is not an officer in the company, repurchases the company's existing shares in the stock market and then allocates the shares purchased among the stockholders. They sell the shares at market price. Most times, in order to encourage shareholders participation the company making the repurchase takes care of the commission fees.
Purchases Transactions Nieman Company purchased merchandise on account from Springhill Company for $9,900, terms 2/10, n/30. Nieman returned merchandise with an invoice amount of $2,400 and received full credit. a. If Nieman Company pays the invoice within the discount period, what is the amount of cash required for the payment? If required, round the answer to the nearest dollar.
Answer:
$7,350
Explanation:
The terms 2/10, n/30 indicates that the customer would get a 2% discount if the discount is made within 10 days. If the payment is not made in this period, the customer would have to pay the complete amount within 30 days. Taking this into consideration and as Nieman returned merchandise with an invoice amount of $2,400, you have to subtract this amount from the purchased they made:
$9,900-$2,400= $7,500
Then, you have to calculate the 2% of $7,500 to find the discount and subtract it from $7,500:
$7,500*2%= $150
$7,500-$150= $7,350
According to this, if Nieman Company pays the invoice within the discount period, the amount of cash required for the payment is: $7,350.
Given the following information, calculate the total annual tax liability of the homeowner market value of property: $537,500; assessed value of property: 60% of the market value, exemptions: $2,500; school district millage rate: 29.25 mills; county and township millage rate: 5.75 mills. a.$7,437.50 b.$11,287.50 c. $11,200.00 d.$188,125.00
Answer:
The total annual tax liability of the homeowner market value of property is $11,200.00 . The right answer is c
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
Market value of property= $5,37,500
Assessed value of property= 60% of the market value
Hence, Assessed value of property =$5,37,500*60% =$3,22,500
Exemption: $2500
Therefore,Assessed value =$3,22,500-$2,500 =$3,20,000
Schol district milleage rate= 29.25Mills
County and township milleage =5.75 Mills
Total rate of Mills =29.25+5.75=35 mills
Therefore, to calculate the total annual tax liability of the homeowner market value of property we would have to use the following formula:
Property tax amount= (Assessed value* Rate of mills/1,000,000)*1,000
Property tax amount= ($320,000*35/1,000,000)*1,000
Property tax amount= $11,200.00
The total annual tax liability of the homeowner market value of property is $11,200.00
How do Keynesians and classicals differ in their beliefs about how long it takes the economy to reach long-run equilibrium? What implications do these differences in beliefs have for Keynesian and classical views about the usefulness of antirecessionary policies? Classical economists think prices adjust _____ and that antirecessionary policies are _____, whereas Keynesian economists think the opposite.
Answer: Rapidly; Not Necessary
Explanation:
Keynesian Economists are of the believe that the Economy takes a fairly long time to reach a long run Equilibrium while Classical economists believe that it takes a shorter period of time. This has led to both classes of Economists having varying opinions when it comes to the need for Anti-recessionary Policies.
Anti-recessionary policies are implemented by the Government to try to get the economy back to the long run equilibrium as soon as possible and Keynesian Economists support this because the believe that if help is not given, the economy will take too long to adjust on its own. Classical Economists are against this and see no need for such policies because they maintain that the economy adjusts and reaches the Long run equilibrium rapidly meaning that such policies are not necessary and would just be a waste of resources as well as a way for the government to exert more influence on the economy which is another thing they are against as well.

In what ways can succession planning be regarded as a type of contingency planning?
Answer & Explanation: A contigency plan refers to a plan to achieve an outcome other than in the usual plan. A succession planning involves identifying and developing new leaders who can easily replace exisiting leaders when the need arises.
Succession planning is a type of contingency plan as its goal is to accomodate the transfer of ownership/ managerial roles to a successor should the owner become disabled, dies or unable to operate business.
For example, a business owner may plan to transfer ownership of his business to his child but dies prematurely. Having already identified several successors, as a contingency plan one of them can run the business until the child mentioned in the will becomes of age and able to take over. This ensures the going concern of the business.

Additionally, the firm will sell 500,000 shares of new common equity at $18.10 per share. Next year's expected dividend is $0.24 per share. 40% tax rate. Given this information, what is the incremental change in AFN for Compuvac going from the first pass to the second pass?
Answer:
Incremental change in AFB would be $ 480,000
Explanation:
(a) Debt = $ 4,000,000
Interest on debt = 10%
Therefore, Interest outgo on debt = 10% of Debt
=10% of $4,000,000
=$ 400,000
(b) Dividend payable = $0.48 per share(given)
No of shares = 500,000 (given)
Therefore, Outgo on account of dividend = $ 0.48 /share * no of shares
=$0.48 * 500,000
=$240,000
(c) Given, that tax in second would be $160,000 lesser. i.e., outgo would actually be lesser to that extent
Therefore, incremental AFN = (a)+(b)-(c) = $ 400,000 + $ 240,000 - $160,000 = $480,000
Incremental change in AFB would be $480,000

WACC for higher risk projects combined with lower risk project will reduce the overall risk exposure. The projects with high risk might also provide high rate of return but volatility will be high for such projects. Those projects are selected which has rate of return higher than WACC. The project A has high risk but its rate of return is 15% which is 3% higher than in its WACC. The project B has average risk with rate of return 12% while the WACC is 10%. The project D should be selected because it has low risk with rate of return 9% which is 1% higher return than the cost of capital.

The trustee’s costs total $281,250, and the firm has no accrued taxes on wages. The debentures are subordinated only to the notes payable. If the firm goes bankrupt and liquidates, how much will each class of investors receive if a total of $2.5 million is received from the sale of the assets?
Answer:
The investors will receive $343,750
Explanation:
In order to calculate the amount each class of investors receive we would have to calulate first the Balance available for Investors as follows:
Balance available for Investors=Total funds received -Trustee’s cost
Balance available for Investors=$2,500,000 -$281,250
Balance available for Investors =$2,218,750
Therefore, Balance available for stock holder=Balance available for Investors-Payment to Accounts payable-Notes Payable-Subordinated debentures
Balance available for stock holder=$2,218,750 - $375,000 -$750,000 - $750,000
Balance available for stock holder= $343,750
The investors will receive $343,750
On November 10 of the current year, Flores Mills sold carpet to a customer for $9,000 with credit terms 4/10, n/30. Flores uses the gross method of accounting for cash discounts. What is the correct entry for Flores on November 17, assuming the correct payment was received on that date
Answer:
Dr cash $8,640
Dr sales discount $360
Cr accounts receivable $9,000
Explanation:
First and foremost , it is noteworthy that receiving payment on 17 November means that customer paid within the stipulated discount period of ten days, hence entitled to a 4% discount off the purchase price.
Cash received=$9,000*(1-4%)=$ 8,640.00
Discount allowed=$9,000-$ 8,640=$360
As a result of the above computations, the cash account would be debited with $8,640 while sales discount is debited with $360.
The accounts receivable is debited with the full purchase price of $9,000

In September 2008, the IRS changed tax laws to allow banks to utilize the tax loss carryforwards of banks they acquire to shield their future income from taxes (prior law restricted the ability of acquirers to use these credits). Suppose Fargo Bank acquires Covia Bank and with it acquires $ 74$74 billion in tax loss carryforwards. If Fargo Bank is expected to generate taxable income of $ 10$10 billion per year in the future, and its tax rate is 30 %30%, what is the present value of these acquired tax loss carryforwards given a cost of capital of 8 %8%?
Answer:
The present value of these acquired tax loss is $15.81 billion
Explanation:
We can shield $ 10 billion for the next 7 years and $4 billion in the 8th year
Given the tax rate = 30%
Years 1 - 7, tax savings = $ 3 billion
Year 8, tax savings = $1.2 billion
Present value (PV) = 3 × [tex]\frac{1}{0.08} \{1-\frac{1}{1.08^7} \}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1.2}{1.08^8}[/tex]
= 3 × 12.5(1-0.58) + 0.648
= 3 × 5.25 + 0.648
= 15.75 + 0.648
= $ 15.81 billion
Therefore, the present value of these acquired tax loss is $15.81 billion

Chuck, a single taxpayer, earns $69,000 in taxable income and $27,100 in interest from an investment in City of Heflin bonds. (Use the U.S tax rate schedule.) Required: How much federal tax will he owe
Answer: $10,970
Explanation:
I have attached the US Tax rate Schedule to this question.
Note that the Interest Earned from the investment are Tax Free because it is from an Municipal bond and those are tax free.
The only figure to calculate tax on is therefore the income of $69,000.
According to the Schedule. If an individual makes between $40,126 and $85,525, they are to pay $4,617.50 plus 22% of the income over $40,125.
That means then that Chuck's tax rate is,
= 4,617.50 + 22% * ( 69,000 - 40,125)
= 4,617.50 + 22% * 28,875
= $10,970
He owes $10,970 in Federal Taxes
The total dollar value of bison killed from Huntington Forest is f(b)=42b-1.1b^2, where b is the number of bison killed. The marginal cost of killing bison is 0. What is the optimal bison-killing tax (per bison) to avoid the tragedy of the commons in this forest?
Answer: 20.99
Explanation:
The optimal bison-killing tax is 20.99
Before the optimal bison-killing tax (per bison) is gotten, we had to calculate the optimum amount of killing first which is represented by b.
After b has been gotten, the value of b was 19.1 and this was slotted into the tax in order to get the value of t.
The analysis and explanation has been attached below
Patterson Brothers recently reported an EBITDA of $5.5 million and net income of $1.5 million. It had $2.0 million of interest expense, and its corporate tax rate was 40%. What was its charge for depreciation and amortization
Answer:
Depreciation & amortization = $1 million
Explanation:
The EBITDA is the earning of the company before interest, tax and depreciation and amortization deduction.
To calculate the Net Income from EBITDA, we subtract the charges for depreciation, amortization, interest and taxes.
Thus, net income is,
Net income = EBITDA - Depreciation & amortization - Interest - Tax
The tax is deducted from EBT which is earnings before tax. It is calculated by deducting the depreciation & amortization and interest from EBITDA. Thus, after deducting tax from EBT, we get net income. We can say that if tax is 40% it means that tax is 40% of EBT and net income is the remaining 60% of EBT.
Thus, if 60% of EBT is 1.5 million, then total EBT is,
EBT = 1.5 / 0.6 = $2.5 million
So, tax is = 2.5 * 0.4 = $1 million
Plugging in the values available in the net income formula,
1.5 = 5.5 - Depreciation & amortization - 2 - 1
1.5 + Depreciation & amortization = 5.5 - 3
Depreciation & amortization = 2.5 - 1.5
Depreciation & amortization = $1 million
E. Preslay Company prepares monthly financial statements and uses the gross profit method to estimate ending inventories. Historically, the company has had a 40% gross profit rate. During June, net sales amounted to $200,000; the beginning inventory on June 1 was $60,000; and the cost of goods purchased during June amounted to $90,000. The estimated cost of E. Preslay Company's inventory on June 30 is
Answer:
$30,000
Explanation:
The computation of the estimated cost of ending inventory is shown below:
As we know that
Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + Cost of goods purchased - ending inventory
where,
Cost of goods sold is
= Net Sales - gross profit
= $200,000 - $200,000 × 40%
= $200,000 - $80,000
= $120,000
Beginning inventory is $60,000
Cost of goods purchased is $90,000
So, the ending inventory is
$120,000 = $60,000 + $90,000 - ending inventory
Hence, the ending inventory is $30,000
The cost of goods sold refers to the cost which is directly related to the goods sold or created i.e direct material, direct labor, etc
