Answer:
a. relative costs of labor
Explanation:
The Heckscher-Ohlin theory explains Japan’s comparative advantage over Kenya as the result of differences in countries' relative costs of labor.
The Heckscher-Ohlin theory of comparative advantage predicts patterns of commerce and production based on the factors that a particular trading region's (country, state etc.) is endowed with or has in plentiful amount. The model is particular about the export of goods requiring factors of production that are plentiful in a particular region.
The four factors of production are land, labor, entrepreneur and capital. Of all the factors compared between Kenya and Japan, their relative labour cost is the only direct factor of production compared between them.
Two athletes of equal ability are competing for a prize of $10,000. Each is deciding whether to take a dangerous performance-enhancing drug. If one athlete takes the drug and the other does not, the one who takes the drug wins the prize. If neither take the drug they tie and split the prize.Both athletes know that the drug imposes a health risk of X dollars, meaning there are future health costs.Draw the 2 x 2 payoff matrix describing the decisions the athletes face.For what X (cost of health risks) is taking the drug the Nash Equilibrium? Explain in writing.Does making the drug safer thus lowering the costs of the risks (X) make the athletes better or worse off? Explain your answer in writing.
Answer:
The best option is when both athletes decide not to take drugs and each earns $5,000.
Explanation:
In a Nash equilibrium scenario:
Athlete 1's decision
take drug do not take drug
Athlete 2's $5000 - x/ $0 /
decision $5,000 - x $10,000 - x
take drug
do not $10,000 - x/ $5,000 /
take drug $0 $5,000
The best possible situation occurs when both athletes decide not to take the drugs. In this situation both athletes win $5,000. If both athletes decide to take the drug and charge the price, they will both earn $5,000 - X.
The Nash equilibrium should show the situation where both players win the most regarding the other player's strategy.
Assume that the custodian of a $450 petty cash fund has $62.50 in coins and currency plus $382.50 in receipts at the end of the month. The entry to replenish the petty cash fund will include:
Answer:
All receipts for petty cash A/c Dr. $382.50
Cash over and short A/c Dr. $5
To Cash A/c $387,50
(Being the replenish the petty cash fund is recorded)
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
We can calculate the total receipts and coins by using following formula:-
Total Receipts and Coin = Coins in Cash Fund + Currency Plus in Receipts = $62.50 + $382.50
= $445
Shortage of Petty Cash Account is
= Total Receipts and Coin - assume Custodian of a Petty Cash
= $445 - $450
= - $5
Journal Entry:-
All receipts for petty cash A/c Dr. $382.50
Cash over and short A/c Dr. $5
To Cash A/c $387,50
(Being the replenish the petty cash fund is recorded)
For recording this we debited the petty cash receipts as it increased the assets and credited the cash as it decreased the assets and the balancing is transferred to cash short and over
In the ultimatum game, one reason players don't choose the rational offer is A. they are worse off by taking the offer. B. that there are too many possible outcomes to reasonably consider. C. most people believe in reciprocity, and will therefore get even if the prosper treats them badly. D. that it is not a Nash equilibrium.
Answer:
C. Most people believe in reciprocity, and will therefore get even if the prosper treats them badly.
Explanation:
In recent times, this game has formed to be a great experimental tool to economists where a certain amount of money is been divided into two equal halves between the proposer and the other player. It is noted that at the end of repeatedly playing the game, ten times in their experiment, players almost always converges to the initial median effort level of four or five.
And in the other hand, a reasonable amount of players believe in reciprocity, and will therefore get even if the prosper treats them badly.
Most of this games and its forms have a set of Pareto ranked pure strategy Nash equilibria, one for each possible effort level.
KYG Instruments, a firm that produces manufacturing equipment for various industries, experiences an influx of new sales employees due to a recent expansion. Despite possessing a vast amount of sales experience, most of the new employees perform poorly. This is because the new recruits possess inadequate technical knowledge about the products sold by KYG. To address the issue, the HR department is considering implementing a training program. As part of the process, the HR department's first step should be to:
Answer:
Identify what the sales representatives will need to learn.
Explanation:
Before the laying out the plan of training the most important thing is that the HR department has to analyze and identify what are the skills that they must develop through the training program which will be as per the requirement of the firm. So in the KYG training program, the first step is to identify analyze the skill sets required for the sales representatives that would be taught them.

You Answered the horizontal summation of all the industry firms' individual supply curves. identifying the price at which each firm realizes its largest economic profit.
Answer: locating the intersection of the market demand and market supply curves.
Explanation:
Here is the complete question:
A perfectly competitive industry's market price is found by:
a. locating the intersection of the market demand and market supply curves.
b. the horizontal summation of all the industry firms' individual supply curves.
c. identifying the price at which each firm realizes its largest economic profit.
d. finding the point on the market demand curve where the largest number of units will be purchased.
A perfectly competitive market is a form of market that is characterized by many buyers and sellers, no transaction costs, undifferentiated products, no barriers to entry and exit, perfect information about price of a good etc. The total revenue for a firm in perfectly competitive market is calculated by multiplying the price and quantity.
The market price in perfectly competitive market is gotten and determined by interaction of the forces of the market demand and market supply. The market demand is the sum of the quantity demanded by the buyers at different prices.
McCoy’s Fish House purchases a tract of land and an existing building for $820,000. The company plans to remove the old building and construct a new restaurant on the site. In addition to the purchase price, McCoy pays closing costs, including title insurance of $1,200. The company also pays $10,400 in property taxes, which includes $7,200 of back taxes (unpaid taxes from previous years) paid by McCoy on behalf of the seller and $3,200 due for the current fiscal year after the purchase date. Shortly after closing, the company pays a contractor $41,000 to tear down the old building and remove it from the site. McCoy is able to sell salvaged materials from the old building for $5,600 and pays an additional $11,300 to level the land.
Required:Determine the amount McCoy’s Fish House should record as the cost of the land. (Amounts to be deducted should be indicated by a minus sign.)
Answer:
$875,100
Explanation:
The values given in the question are as follows
Purchase price of land= $820,000
Title insurance= $1,200
Property taxes= $10,400
Amont of tax due for the current fiscal year= $3,200
Back taxes= $7,200
Cost of removing the building= $41,000
Salvaged materials= $5,600
Amount used to level the land= $11,300
The cost of land for McCoy's fish house can be calculated as follows
Total cost of land= Puchase price of land+Title insurance+Back property taxes+Cost of removing the building+Level the land-Salvage materials
$820,000+$1,200+$7,200+$41,000+$11,300-$5,600
= $875,100
Hence the total amount McCoy fish house should record as the cost of land is $875,100
Carlin and Marley, an accounting firm, provides consulting and tax planningservices. For many years, the firm's total administrative cost (currently$270,000) has been allocated to services on this basis of billable hours toclients. A recent analysis found that 55% of the firm's billable hours to clientsresulted from tax planning services, while 45% resulted from consultingservices.The firm, contemplating a change to activity-based costing, has identifiedthree components of administrative cost, as follows:
Staff Support $200,000
In-house computingcharges 50,000
Miscellaneous officecosts 20,000
Total $270,000
A recent analysis of staff support found a strong correlation with the numberof clients served. In contrast, in-house computing and miscellaneous officecost varied directly with the number of computer hours logged and number ofclient transactions, respectively. Consulting clients served totaled 35% of thetotal client base, consumed 30% of the firm's computer hours, and accountedfor 20% of the total client transactions.
Answer:
The amount of administrative cost chargeable to tax planning services would decrease by $32,500
Note: Kindly find an attached copy of the complete question below
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
In this example, the total cost of administrative charged to tax planning services is given as =$270,000 * 55%
=$148,000
Now,
The activity based cost system is shown below:
Cost Amount Cost driver Consulting Tax planning
Staff support 200,000 No of clients served 35% 65%
In house com-
puting charges 50,000 Computers hrs logged 30% 70%
Misc office
Cost 20,000 No of clients
Transaction 20% 80%
Total $270,000
Thus,
Activity Workings Allocated to tax planning services
Staff support 200,000 * 65% 130,000
In house Comp-
uting Charges 50,000 * 70% 35,000
Misc office costs 20,000 * 80% 16,000
The total cost
allocated $181,000
So, the change in amount allocated to tax planning services under this system is = $181,000-$148,500
= $32,500
A mortgage note payable with a fixed interest rate requires the borrower to make installment payments over the term of the loan. Each installment payment includes interest on the unpaid balance of the loan and a payment on the principal. With each installment payment, indicate the effect on the portion allocated to interest expense and the portion allocated to principal.
Portion Allocated to Interest Expense Portion Allocated to Payment of Principal
a. Decreases, Increases
b. Increases, Increases
c. Increases, Decreases
d. Decreases, Decreases
Answer: a. Decreases, Increases
Explanation:
With each installment paid, the interest expense goes down while the principal repayment goes up. This is because the amount of Principal reduces with every payment therefore the interest is charged on a lesser figure.
For example, assume $10,000 is to be paid per month on $100,000 mortgage with a 10% rate.
The first time the 10% is charged on $100,000 it will give $10,000 and since the payment is $10,000, all of it will be considered interest.
The second time the 10% is charged it will be charged on $90,000 (100,000 - first payment of $10,000) instead which will.mean interest payment is now only $9,000 (10% of $90,000). The difference of $1,000 ($10,000 payable every month and interest of $9,000) will be Principal repayment.
The third time around then, the amount left is $80,000. Interest payment will be $8,000 and Principal repayment becomes $2,000.
And so on and so forth.
You plan to borrow $ 4 comma 000 from a bank. In exchange for $ 4 comma 000 today, you promise to pay $ 4 comma 160 in one year. What does the cash flow timeline look like from your perspective? What does it look like from the bank's perspective?
Answer:
Please check the attached image for the diagram
Explanation:
I would be borrowing $4000 from the bank. I would be $4,000 richer and the bank would have $4000 less.
In one year, I would be paying the bank $4160. So I would have $4160 less and the bank would be $4160 richer.
A negative sign indicates cash outflow and a positive sign indicates a cash inflow.
I hope my answer helps you.

The balanced-budget multiplier is a measure of the short-run change in aggregate output caused by equal changes in government purchases and taxes. Ignoring any supply-side or long-run effects, if the government simultaneously increases both taxes and government spending by $100 billion, what is the expected short-run impact on GDP? Group of answer choices GDP does not change. GDP increases by less than $100B. GDP decreases by less than $100B. GDP increases by $100B. GDP decreases by $100B.
Answer: GDP increases by $100B
Explanation:
The Balanced Budget Multiplier is used to.measure the effect of a simultaneous increase in Government Spending and Taxes on the Economy.
While Classical Theorists believed that they cancel each other out, Keynesian Economists went about proving that this was not the case.
They showed that an increase in Government Spending had a ripple effect that was not curtailed by increasing taxes.
What they found out was that, increasing Government Spending at the same rate as taxes led to a rise in National income that was the same as the amount that Government Spending increased by.
This means that an increase in Government Spending and tax of $100 billion will lead to an increase in Income of $100 billion as well which will be translated into the GDP.
The UCLA transportation economist Donald Shoup developed a formula to explain the rational maximum cruising time for parking. Calculate the cruising time elasticity (i.e., the point elasticity using calculus) with respect to the price (p). At a price of p=5 and m=12, what is the elasticity of c with respected to p? At this point, how will a 1% increase in p alter the maximum cruising time? Refer to the elasticity you calculated.
Answer:
The above elasticity suggests that by raising the curb parking price by 10% reduces the time drive are willing to cruise by only 7.1%. also the increase of curb pricing would make elasticity greater that shows that curb park pricing by 1% reduces the drivers that are willing to cruise by only 2.3 %
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Now, when we look at the papers designed by the economists for the various formulas of calculating elasticity related to six factors examples like, the price of off street parking, the price of fuel, the number of person or individuals in a car, the price of curb parking, time value, we would notice that the formula for calculating cruising time elasticity with that of curb parking price is stated below:
E = - p/(m-p)
E = -5/12-5
E = -5/7
=-0.714
The above elasticity states that by raising the curb parking price by 10% reduces the time drive are willing to cruise by only 7.1%
Now,
The new elasticity = -7/(10-7)
=-7/3
=-2.33 or 2.33%
It suggests that the increase of curb pricing would make elasticity greater that shows that curb park pricing by 1% reduces the drivers that are willing to cruise by only 2.3 %

The monthly salaries for December and the year-to-date earnings of the employees of Bush Consulting Company as of November 30 follow. Determine the amount of social security tax to be withheld from each employee’s gross pay for December. Assume a 6.2 percent social security tax rate and an earnings base of $122,700 for the calendar year. (Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
The social security tax rate for the employees is show below
Thus, for the employee 3 = 10709 + 117799 = 128, 508 which is above the base
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Employee: 1 2 3 4
December Salary : $9900 $10,000 $10709 $10,000
Year of date earnings
Through November 30: $99,000 $70,000 $117799 $100000
Social sec taxable
Earnings December: 9900 10,000 4901 10,000
Social security tax 6.2%: 613.80 620 304 620
Now,
For the employee 3 = 10709 + 117799 = 128, 508 which is above the base
Thus,
$128,508 - $122, 700
=5808 ( this earning is not taxable)
Hence, 10709 -5808 = 4901 (this is a taxable earning).
Concord Company, a machinery dealer, leased manufacturing equipment to Mays Corporation on January 1, 2017. The lease is for a 7-year period and requires equal annual payments of $26,143 at the beginning of each year. The first payment is received on January 1, 2017. Concord had purchased the machine during 2016 for $75,000. Collectibility of lease payments is reasonably predictable, and no important uncertainties surround the amount of costs yet to be incurred by Concord. Concord set the annual rental to ensure an 8% rate of return. The machine has an economic life of 8 years with no residual value and reverts to Concord at the termination of the lease.
Compute the amount of the lease receivable.
Answer:
$ 146,998.94
Explanation:
The applicable formula in this case is the present of annuity due.The amount of annual lease rental needs to be stated to present value equivalence by discounting all future cash flows of lease rentals to today's equivalent worth.
PV=PMT*(1/i-1/i(1+i)^n)*(1+i)
i is the rate of return of 8% OR 0.08
n is the number of years which is 7
PMT is the yearly lease rental of $26143
PV=26143*(1/0.08-1/0.08(1+0.08)^7)*(1+0.08)
PV=26143*(1/0.08-1/0.137106)*(1+0.08)
PV=26143*(12.5-7.293629941 )*(1.08)
PV=26143*5.206370059 *1.08
PV= 146,998.94
Each of the following are classified as a noncash investing or financing activity except:
a. retirement of debt by issuing stock
b. reissuing treasury stock
c. purchase of long-term assets by issuing bonds
d. purchase of noncash assets by issuing equity
Answer: b. reissuing treasury stock
Explanation:
Investing Activities in the Cashflow Statement refer to transactions that have to do with the buying and selling of Capital Goods such as Fixed Assets. It also refers to investments in other company bonds and stock.
Financing has to do with how the firm finances it's operations. These include long term debt and stock related transactions.
When these transactions are non-cash, it means quite rightly that no cash was exchanged and instead something else for exchanged instead of cash. For example, A non-cash Investing and Financing activity would be the purchase of long-term assets by issuing bonds.
In this question, option B being the reissuance of Treasury Stock is not a non-cash transaction. Treasury Stock is the company's own stock that it required from the market. By reissuing it, they will be doing so with cash involved. That is, people will buy the reissued shares and pay cash for them thus making it a Cash Financing Activity.

Actual Overhead = $ 215,000
Difference = Predetermined Overhead - Actual Overhead
= 241,500- $ 215,000= 26,500 Under applied
We find the difference between actual overhead and applied overhead to find the underapplied ( overapplied overhead. If the actual overhead is less than applied overhead it is underapplied. But if the actual overhead is greater than applied overhead it is over applied.

Answer:
$80.50
Explanation:
Calculation of Cost-sharing amount :
Using this formula
Allowed charges *out-of-network coinsurance percent
Where:
Allowed charges =$230.00
Out-of-network coinsurance percent =35%
Hence,
$230.00 * .35
= $80.50
Therefore the Cost-sharing amount will be $80.50
A company currently makes a component used in production. The per unit costs incurred to make the component include: Direct materials: $5; Direct labor: $2; Overhead: $4; Total cost: $11. Twenty-five percent of the overhead costs are considered incremental. The company can purchase the component from another source for $10. The company should do which of the following?
A. The company should not make the components because incremental costs are $2 less than the purchase price.
B. The company should make the components because incremental costs are $2 less than the purchase price.
C. None of above
Answer:
The company should make the components because incremental costs are $2 less than the purchase price.
Explanation:
To solve this we would have to calculate the cost of making each unit of the component.
= Direct Labour + Direct Material + Overhead*
25% of Overhead is said to be Incremental. Overhead is 4. This means that 25% of 4 is the Marginal Cost of production. i.e, the cost per unit.
= 25% * 4
= (25/100) x 4
= 1
We would charge $1 per unit to overhead costs.
Therefore, the cost of making each unit of component
= $5 + $2 + $1 = $8
Since the cost of purchasing each unit of component is $10. Then the company has to produce the component because it is less with a difference of $2.
$10 - $8 = $2
Determine which moral standard of social responsibility the business is observing.
Vivian’s company is considering building a huge new department store in a small town. The community argues that the store will disrupt local commerce and harm local business owners. Vivian argues that the store will save money for customers and bring more jobs to the community. Assume both arguments are true.
a. Stakeholder Theory Moral Standard
b. Profit-Maximizing Moral Standard
c. Indeterminable
d. Corporate Citizenship Moral Standard
e. Moral Minimum Standard
Answer:
The correct answer is the option A: Stakerholder theory moral standard
Explanation:
To begin with, the stakerholder theory states that there are a group of people whose interest must be taken as the major responsibility that the company must accomplish. This group comprehends the owners, the investors, the consumers, the suppliers, etc. Those are the stakeholders. Therefore that in the case where Viviana's company states that the store will save money, taking care of the interest of the consumers, and bring more jobs, taking care of the interest of the locals around the company is putting the interesent of the stakeholders first. And when the community argues that it will disrupt local commerce they states that the company is only focusing in the interest of the investors and owners. That is why, in both sides the stakerholders are benefited.
Answer:
Indeterminable
Explanation:
Q- Vivian's company is considering building a huge new department store in a small town. The community argues that the store will disrupt local commerce and harm local business owners. Vivian argues that the store will save money for customers and bring more jobs to the community. Assume both arguments are true. "
A- Indeterminable because assuming both arguments are true. We can not determine who is right because building a new department store creates job opportunities and saves money, but it also harms local business owners.
NOTE-But if Vivian's argument is true then it is stakeholder moral theory.
Select Indeterminable if both arguments are true assumed.
Three different companies each purchased trucks on January 1, 2018, for $62,000. Each truck was expected to last four years or 250,000 miles. Salvage value was estimated to be $2,000. All three trucks were driven 80,000 miles in 2018, 55,000 miles in 2019, 51,000 miles in 2020, and 70,000 miles in 2021. Each of the three companies earned $53,000 of cash revenue during each of the four years. Company A uses straight-line depreciation, company B uses double-declining-balance depreciation, and company C uses units-of-production depreciation. Answer each of the following questions. Ignore the effects of income taxes.
Calculate the net income for 2021? (Round "Per Unit Cost" to 3 decimal places.)
Answer:
Net Income Calculation for 2021
Company A Company B Company C
Revenue $53,000 $53,000 $53,000
Less Depreciation Expense ($15,000) ($0.00) ($16,800)
Net Income / (Loss) $38,000 $53,000 $36,200
Explanation:
Company A
Depreciation Expense (Straight line) : (Cost - Salvage Value) / Number of Useful Life
2021 = ($62,000-$2,000) / 4
= $15,000
Company B
Depreciation Expense (Double Declining Balance) : 2 × SLDP × BVSLD
SLDP = 100/ 4
= 25%
2018 = 2 × 25% × $62,000
= $ 31,000
2019 = 2 × 25% × ($62,000 - $ 31,000)
= $ 15,500
2020 = 2 × 25% × ($62,000 - $ 31,000 - $ 15,500 )
= $ 7,750
2021 = 2 × 25% × ($62,000 - $ 31,000 - $ 15,500 - $ 7,750 )
= 0
In 2021 depreciation will only be allowed where:
Book Value = Salvage Value
Test to see if Book Value has fallen below Salvage Value :
Cost $62,000
Less Accumulated depreciation $54,250
Book Value $ 7,750
Company C
Depreciation Expense (units-of-production) : (Cost - Salvage Value) × Period`s Production / Total Expected Production
2021 = ($62,000-$2,000) × 70,000/ 250,000
= $16,800

Artville is deciding whether to purchase a new statue for the center of town. The statue will cost the city $17,000 and will only be purchased if the costs are covered. The city is asking for households to help cover the cost of the statue, but households are not forced to contribute. Instructions: Enter your answer as a whole number.
Required:
a. If households are asked to contribute $5 each to help cover the cost of the statue, how many households will need to contribute?
b. If the population of Artville is 4,000 households, of which 3,000 households are expected to free ride, will the city be able to afford the statue if it charges each household $14?
Answer:
a. 3,400 households
b. No
Explanation:
a. The computation of the number of families is shown below:-
Total Cost = No.of families contributing × Amount each family contributing
$17,000 = No of families × 5
Number of families = $17,000 ÷ 5
= 3,400 households
b. According to the question, it is mentioned that Artville 's population is 4,000 of which 3,000 households are expected to travel freely, which means that these 3,000 people will not pay for the statue and the entire burden of the statue 's cost will fall on the left amount 1,000.
Total cost = No of households contributing × Amount each household pays
= 1,000 × $14
= $14,000
We may conclude that we will not be able to buy this statue because the sum raised is only 14,000, although we need $17,000 to buy the statue. To this question, the answer is "No".
Sales of Granite City Products Inc. have been on a steady decline for the last 12 months. A market research study conducted revealed that the product of Granite City Products Inc. can be sold only for $420 as opposed to the current market price charged of $520 per unit.

For computation of the target operating income first we need to find out the profit per unit which is shown below:-
Profit per unit = Sales Price × Sales percentage
= $420 × 30%
= $126
Target Operating Income = Profit per unit × Annual Sales Target
= $126 × 280 units
= $35,280

Wildhorse Corporation has retained earnings of $677,000 at January 1, 2020. Net income during 2020 was $1,510,000, and cash dividends declared and paid during 2020 totaled $82,000. In addition, an error was discovered: land costing $87,000 (net of tax) was charged to maintenance and repairs expense in 2019. Determine the ending retained earnings balance for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Answer:
$2,192,000
Explanation:
Adjusted January 1, 2020 retained earning = January 1, 2020 retained earning + Error (Land cost) = $677,000 + $87,000 = $764,000
Retained earning for 2020 = Net income during 2020 - Dividends declared and paid during 2020 = $1,510,000 - $82,000 = $1,428,000
December 31, 2020 retained earnings = Adjusted January 1, 2020 retained earning + Retained earning for 2020 = $764,000 + $1,428,000 = $2,192,000.
Therefore, the ending retained earnings balance for the year ended December 31, 2020 is $2,192,000.
