Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
1. Embargoes and sanctions
When a trade embargo or sanctions are in play, depending on the strength of the nation or International organisation that imposed it, countries are not allowed to trade with the country that is under an embargo. Sometimes the trade embargo can be on all products and sometimes just specific sectors are targeted. An example is the current United States embargo on Venezuela which targets their oil sector and as such most countries are avoiding buying Venezuelan oil.
2. Tariffs
This is a method of reducing the amount of a certain good imported from outside. Tariffs are usually introduced to protect the domestic producers and supplier in an economy and work by taxing imports or placing a customs duty on them. They are usually imposed when the imports are cheaper than domestic Production.
3. Import Quota
Another way to protect the domestic economy. In this scenario, a country allows the import of a certain good only up to an extent for a period which is usually a year. For instance, the United States in this scenario could say that in 2020 only 500 megatons of Aluminum are allowed into the country from China. After that, no more is allowed until 2021.
4. Tariff.
This is a Tariff and as earlier explained, is meant to protect the domestic producers by taxing imports that are cheaper.
5. Import Quota.
This is clearly an import Quota as earlier described because the country is limiting the amount of a certain good that can come into it.
6. Embargoes and Sanctions.
This is a clear example of an embargo. The United States is limiting the amount of goods exported to North Korea because they are under sanctions and embargoes. The United States and Western nations do not want to export anything to North Korea that could aid it's Nuclear Industry so it is a targeted embargo on their nuclear industry.

Explanation:
Suppose that banks are less able to raise funds and so lend less. Consequently, because people and households are less able to borrow, they spend less at any given price level than they would otherwise. The crisis is persistent so lending should remain depressed for some time.
Refer to Financial Crisis. In the long run, if the Fed does not respond, the change in price expectations created by the crisis shifts:
a) short-run aggregate supply right.
b) aggregate demand right.
c) aggregate demand left.
d) short-run aggregate supply left.
Answer:
The correct answe is: d) short-run aggregate supply left.
Explanation:
In this regard, one can observe an existing problem of banks that are less able to raise funds and therefore lend less. This cycle leads to less capital inflow, due to the reduced amount of assets in the budget.
Therefore the expected scenario is the behavior of the cumulative curve of the source in the short term moving to the left, due to the decrease in the growth of the investment pattern.
Great Harvest Bakery purchased bread ovens from New Morning Bakery. New Morning Bakery was closing its bakery business and sold its two-year-old ovens at a discount for $697,000. Great Harvest incurred and paid freight costs of $33,500, and its employees ran special electrical connections to the ovens at a cost of $4,700. Labor costs were $36,300. Unfortunately, one of the ovens was damaged during installation, and repairs cost $4,700. Great Harvest then consumed $870 of bread dough in testing the ovens. It installed safety guards on the ovens at a cost of $1,470 and placed the machines in operation.Prepare a schedule to show the amount at which the ovens should be recorded irn Great Harvest's Equipment account.
Answer: The answer is given below
Explanation:
The schedule showing the amount recorded goes thus:
Particulars Amount($)
Purchase price 697000
Freight costs 33500
Electrical connection 4700
labor costs 36300
Bread dough used in testing oven
870
Safety Guards 1470
Total cost of equipment = 773840
The repairs cost 4700 is excluded because it is not a normal cost of the installation, therefore, it should be recorded as an expense in the income statement.
Suppose that Karen deposits $500 into her checking account at the bank. The reserve requirement for Karen's bank is 12%. Assume the bank does not want to hold any excess reserves of new deposits.A. Use this information to complete the table below to show how the bank's assets and liabilities change when Karen deposits the $500.Assets LiabilitiesChange in reserves: Change in deposits:Change in loans: B. Why are deposits considered liabilities for a bank?a) Deposits must be kept as reserves at the Federal Reserve.b) Deposits can be withdrawn at any time.c) Deposits can be loaned out by the bank.d) Deposits pay interest to the owner.
Answer and Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
a.)
Assets Amount($) Liabilities Amount($)
Change in reserves ($500 ×12%) 60 Change in deposits 500
Change in loans ($500 - $60) 440
B) Customers can withdraw the amount of the money at any time from the bank whenever they have a need for money and at that time this is the liability of the bank to pay that amount to the customer which he wants from their savings. This is the reason that deposits are considered as liabilities for the bank. So option (b) is correct.
ovar Inc., a U.S. multinational, began operations this year. Jovar had pretax U.S. source income and foreign source income as follows: U.S. source income $ 600,000 Foreign source income—Country O 100,000 Total $ 700,000 Jovar paid $50,000 income tax to Country O. Compute Jovar's U.S. tax liability if it takes the foreign tax credit.
Answer:
$204,000
Explanation:
Computation of Jovar's U.S. tax liability
First step isnto determine the U.S precredit tax.
34%×$700,000
=$238,000
U.S Precredit tax = $238,000
Second step is to calculate the foreign tax credit.
Therefore the Credit is limited to:
$238,000 * 100/700
= $34,000.
Hence:
$238,000-$34,000
=$204,000
Therefore Jovar's U.S. tax liability if it takes the foreign tax credit will be $204,000
Garcia Company issues 10%, 15-year bonds with a par value of $240,000 and semiannual interest payments. On the issue date, the annual market rate for these bonds is 8%, which implies a selling price of 117 ¼. The effective interest method is used to allocate interest expense. 1. Using the implied selling price of 117 ¼, what are the issuer's cash proceeds from issuance of these bonds? 2. What total amount of bond interest expense will be recognized over the life of these bonds? 3. What amount of bond interest expense is recorded on the first interest payment date?
Answer:
1. Cash proceed is $281,400.
2. Total bond interest expenses over the bond llife is $318,600.
3. Bond interest expense on first interest payment date is $11,256.
Explanation:
1. Using the implied selling price of 117 ¼, what are the issuer's cash proceeds from issuance of these bonds?
Selling price = 117 ¼ / 100 = 1.1725
Cash proceed = Bond face value * Bond selling price = $240,000 * 1.1725 = $281,400.
2. What total amount of bond interest expense will be recognized over the life of these bonds?
Total interest payment = $240,000 * 10% * 15 = $360,000
Total repayment = Total interest payment + Bond par value = $360,000 + $240,000 = $600,000
Total bond interest expenses over the bond llife = Total repayment - Cash proceed/Amount borrowed = $600,000 - $281,400 = $318,600
3. What amount of bond interest expense is recorded on the first interest payment date?
Bond interest expense on first interest payment date = Cash proceed * Annual market rate on issue date * (6/12) = $281,400 * 8% * 0.5 = $11,256
You are considering purchasing stock in Canyon Echo. You feel the company will increase its dividend at 3.6 percent indefinitely. The company just paid a dividend of $3.71 and you feel that the required return on the stock is 12 percent. What is the price per share of the company's stock?
Answer:
$45.76
Explanation:
Next dividend = Dividend just paid * (1 + Dividend growth rate) = $3.71 * (1 + 0.036) = $3.84356
Using the formula for the dividend discount model, we can calculate he price per share of the company's stock as follows:
Stock price = Next dividend / (Required return - Dividend growth rate) = $3.84356 / (0.12 - 0.036) = $45.76
Therefore, the price per share of the company's stock is $45.76.

The Mini-Case "Pay-for-Delay Agreements" states that some incumbent producers of drugs with expiring patents paid potential generic producers to delay entry into the market. Why were incumbents willing to offer enough to potential entrants to make them delay entry? How will the 2013 Supreme Court decision allowing potential legal action against the companies affect this calculation? Incumbents were willing to offer enough to potential entrants to make them delay their entry to A. increase market competition. B. eventually deter entry completely. C. charge a monopoly price. D. produce generic drugs. E. lower fixed costs.
Answer: charge a monopoly price
Explanation:
Patents provide an exclusive right to the firm in the production and sale of a drug. This provides the firm exclusive market power to decide the price and the quantity and therefore the firm is able to charge a monopoly price and also earn monopoly profits.
When an existing patent expires and the generic producers enter the market, the price reduces due to an increase in the supply of the erstwhile patented drug. This will reduce the monopoly profit of incumbent producers. Therefore, they will seek to deter the entry of generic drug makers in order to safeguard their monopoly profits and price.
Therefore, incumbents were willing to give enough to potential entrants so as to make them delay entry to charge a monopoly price.
The effect of the 2013 Supreme Court decision allowing legal action against these companies is increase in the cost of pay-for-delay agreements and also reduce incumbent profits from these agreements.

Step 5: Calculate the selling price for Job 407
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Markup on job cost 75%
Milling Assembly
Machine-hours 60,000 3,000
Direct labor-hours 8,000 80,000
Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 390,000 $500,000
Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour $2.00
Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour $3.75
Job 407:
Milling Assembly
Machine-hours 90 4
Direct labor-hours 5 20
Direct materials $800 $370
Direct labor cost $70 $280
1) We need to calculate the total overhead costs:
Milling= 390,000 + 2*60,000 + 3.75*8,000= $540,000
Assembly= 500,000 + 2*3,000 + 3.75*80,000= $806,000
2) Now, the predetermined overhead rate per department:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
For Milling we will use machine hours as allocation base:
Milling= 540,000/60,000= $9 per machine hour
For Assembly, we will use direct labor hours:
Assembly= 806,000/80,000= $10.075 per direct labor hour
3) We need to allocate overhead to Job 407
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Milling= 9*90= $810
Assembly= 10.075*20= $201.5
Total overhead= $1,011.5
4) Total cost= (800 + 370) + (70 + 280) + 1,011.5
Total cost= $2,531.5
5) Finally, the selling price:
Selling price= 2,531.5*1.75= $4,430.125
Graphical Designs is offering 20-20 preferred stock. The stock will pay an annual dividend of $20 with the first dividend payment occurring 20 years from today. The required return on this stock is 5.10 percent. What is the price of the stock today?
Answer:
$ 152.35
Explanation:
The stock price today can be computed by first determining the future value of the dividend in perpetuity ,then discounting that to present value.
Value in perpetuity=dividend/required return
dividend is $20
required return is 5.10%
value in perpetuity=$20/5.10%=$392.16
The price of the stock today is the present value of the value in perpetuity
PV=FV*(1+r)^-n
FV is $392.16
r is the required return of 5.10%
n is the number of years involved,which is 19,it is 19 because counting from today till the next next years would be first day of the next twenty years
price=$392*(1+5.10%)^-19=$ 152.35

Which one of the following describes the total overhead variance?
A. The difference between what was actually incurred and the flexible budget amount.
B. The difference between what was actually incurred and overhead applied.
C. The difference between the overhead applied and the flexible budget amount.
D. The difference between what was actually incurred and the total production budget
Answer:
B. The difference between what was actually incurred and overhead applied.
Explanation:
This could be simply as the difference of what was actually incurred and overhead that was been applied or it could be the difference between the amount that would be absorbed into the cost/unit of the actual units of a certain commodity been produced, and the actual cost of the fixed overheads.
This could be seen in a certain number of labor hours taken to manufacture a an amount of product, as it may differ significantly from the standard or budgeted number of hours of the work been done.
Gustavson Corporation uses the direct method to allocate service department costs to operating departments. The company has two service departments, Administrative and Facilities, and two operating departments, Assembly and Wholesaling. Administrative costs are allocated on the basis of employee hours and Facilities costs are allocated on the basis of space occupied. The total Wholesaling Department cost after the allocations of service department costs is closest to which value:
a. $337,530b. $331,090c. $340,240d. $340,426
Answer:
C) $340,240
Explanation:
Service Department Operating Department
Administrative Facilities Assembly Wholesaling
Departmental costs $26,840 $59,400 $183,430 $321,190
Employee time (hours) 4,000 2,000 29,000 15,000
Space occupied - sq ft 2,000 2,000 30,000 6,000
total administrative costs = $26,840
total employee hours = 29,000 + 15,000 = 44,000
administrative cost per employee hour = $26,840 / 44,000 = $0.61
total facilities costs = $59,400
total square feet = 30,000 + 6,000 = 36,000
administrative cost per employee hour = $59,400 / 36,000 = $1.65
total Wholesaling Department cost = $321,190 + ($0.61 x 15,000) + ($1.65 x 6,000) = $321,190 + $9,150 + $9,900 = $340,240

Total 860 $2,112.3
Therefore, Weighted avearge cost = $2,112.3/860= $2.4562
Ending inventory units = 860-560 = 300
Therefore, Ending inventory assuming weighted-average cost=300*2.4562=$737
Ending inventory assuming weighted-average cost would be $737

A buyer submitted an offer with a deposit on a property on June 1. The offer included the condition that it must be accepted within 48 hours. The sellers were out of town, however, and could not be contacted until June 6. At that point, the sellers eagerly signed and returned the purchase agreement; but now the buyer says he does not want the property any longer and is demanding the return of his deposit. A court would rule that:
Answer:
a. the deposit should be returned to the buyer
Explanation:
Based on the information that has been provided it can be said that the court would most likely rule that the deposit should be returned to the buyer . This is because is the contract includes a deadline and it passes, the offer is automatically terminated. Therefore, since this is the case in this situation the sellers' acceptance after the deadline would not be considered valid, and the buyer's deposit needs to be returned.

Assume that the. Top level management team has accepted your recommendation how can their effectiveness be evaluated three months after implementation
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although the question provides no context or references, we can say that if the top-level management team has accepted your recommendation their effectiveness can be evaluated three months after implementation in the following way.
The recommendation needs to establish some goals that have to be accomplished in the short, medium, and long-range. After the first three months, you establish your exéctations and you should have included your KPIs or Key Performance Indicators in order to do the proper evaluation and knowing if the recommendations were valid or attainable. Lack of goals or KPIs to evaluate the recommendation would end up complicating the evaluation process.

Suppose the following transactions occur during the current year:
1. Rajiv orders 40 cases of beer from a Dutch distributor at a price of $40 per case.
2. A U.S. company sells 200 transistors to a Spanish company at $15.00 per transistor.
3. Yakov, a U.S. citizen, pays $1,100 for a computer he orders from Dellosoft (a U.S. company).
Complete the following table by indicating how the combined effects of these transactions will be reflected in the U.S. national accounts for the current year.
Amount
Consumption
Investment
Government Purchases
Imports
Exports
Net Exports
Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
Answer:
Consumption - $2,700
Investment - $0
Government Purchases - $0
Imports - $1,600
Exports - $3,00
Net Exports - $1,400
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) - $4,100
Explanation:
1. Consumption.
Consumption is the amount of goods and services consumed in the economy in a given period by citizens themselves. Things such as beer and laptops fall under here.
The consumption for the above economy are the computer purchased as well as the beer.
Adding them up would be,
= 1,100 + (40* 40)
= 1,100 + 1,600
= $2,700
Consumption is $2,700
Investment refers to the amount of money that private citizens spend on either investments or on Capital projects such as buildings. There are none here so the answer is $0.
Government Purchases are straightforwardly the transactions that involved the Government paying for goods and services. There are no such transactions here either so the answer is $0.
Imports are goods and services purchased from a foreign company by a consumer in the local Economy. From the above scenario there is a purchase from a Dutch Distributor. This is an import.
Imports are therefore,
= $40 * 40 cases of beer.
= $1,600.
Exports are goods and services that are bought by a foreign company from the local Economy. From the above there is an Export of 200 transistors to Spain.
That means that the exports in the Economy total,
= 200 * $15
= $3,000
The Net Exports are calculated by Subtracting Imports from Exports.
= 3,000 - 1,600
= $1,400
The Gross Domestic Product is a very important Economic measure that calculates the amount of goods and services produced in an Economy within a given period which is usually a year. The goods must be finished goods as intermediate goods would results in an overestimation due to Double Counting.
The formula for the GDP calculation is,
= C + G + I + X - M
Where,
C is Consumption
G is Government Spending
I is Investment and
X - M is Net Imports
GDP = 2,700 + 0 + 0 + 1,400
GDP = $4,100

Answer:
B. We are going to take action in response to recent market fluctuations.
D. Janice, please implement the performance measure we discussed last week.

A company has a process that results in 1,300 pounds of Product A that can be sold for $13.00 per pound. An alternative would be to process Product A further at a cost of $13,600 and then sell it for $23.00 per pound. What is the additional profit (loss) that would result from processing the product further?
Answer:
If the company process further the units, income will decrease by $600.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A company has a process that results in 1,300 pounds of Product A that can be sold for $13.00 per pound.
An alternative would be to process Product A further for $13,600 and then sell it for $23.00 per pound.
We need to determine the result of further processing the product.
Sell as-is:
Effect on income= 1,300*13= $16,900 increase
Continue processing:
Effect on income= 1,300*23 - 13,600= $16,300
It is more profitable to sell the units before further processing.
Suppose a stock sells for $1,200 and pays no dividends. At the end of one year, the stock’s price decreases to $1,000. What is the dollar return on an investment in this stock? $200.00 -$0.17 -$200.00
Answer:
ROI= -$200
Explanation:
Rate of return is also called return on investment. It measires the increase or decrease relative to initial cost of investment.
For example if $500 was invested in a business and eventually it brings in a profit of $20 the return on the initial investment will be the $20 profit. If however there is a loss it will result in a negative return on investment.
In this scenario the stock does not pay any dividends and initial cost was $1,200
To get the return on investment
ROI= Final investment amount - Initial investment amount
ROI= 1,000 - 1,200
ROI= -$200

Just like a driver would need indicators to explain the progress made in his journey, managers also use key indicators to monitor the progress made by the company. The four key indicators employed by managers are;
1. Internal Process
2. Customer Perspective
3. Innovation and learning
4. Financial perspective.
The financial perspective is very important to the managers, and the other three indicators have a telling effect on the level of financial progress made by the organization.
