The correct answer is B. Reduce interest rates
Explanation:
The GDP or gross domestic product is measured based on the amount of money products and services produced by a country cost. This concept is related to the amount of money people in a country spend on goods and services. Additionally, one of the ways to increase the GDP by motivating people to spend more money is if interest rates are reduced because if the interest rate is low (money people need to pay for a loan) consumers are more likely to request loans and use the money of these on goods and services. This increases the amount of services and goods and therefore has a positive impact on the GDP.
Consider two bonds, a 3-year bond paying an annual coupon of 5.90% and a 10-year bond also with an annual coupon of 5.90%. Both currently sell at a face value of $1,000. Now suppose interest rates rise to 9%. a. What is the new price of the 3-year bonds
Answer:
First bond new price= $921.53
Second bond new price =$801.05
Explanation:
a. Face value= future value= $1,000
Coupon rate= 5.90%
Coupon payment= 0.0590*1,000= 59
Time= 3 years
Yield to maturity= 9%
Enter the below in a financial calculator to calculate the present value of the bond:
FV= 1,000
PMT= 59
N= 3
I/Y= 9
The value obtained is 921.53.
Therefore, the new price of the bond is $921.53.
b. Face value= future value= $1,000
Coupon rate= 5.90%
Coupon payment= 0.0590*1,000= 59
Time= 10 years
Yield to maturity= 9%
Enter the below in a financial calculator to calculate the present value of the bond:
FV= 1,000
PMT= 59
N= 10
Interest rate per annum= 9
The value obtained is 801.05.
Therefore, the new price of the bond is $801.05.
Ralph Young was a commercial tour boat operator on the northern coast of Kauai, Hawaii. He was licensed by the state of Hawaii to operate his boat in Hanalei Bay. The U.S. Department of Transportation and the U.S. Coast Guard had also specifically granted Young an unrestricted license to operate his boats in Hanalei Bay. Hawaii subsequently passed a law that banned all commercial use of Hanalei Bay. The state refused to renew Young's state license and he was not allowed to operate his vessel under his federal licenses. Young filed a lawsuit against the state alleging that the state law that prohibited him from operating his boat conflicted with the federal law that authorized him to do so. What would be the court's most likely response to Ralph's lawsuit?
a. The court probably found that the state law was unconstitutional under the supremacy cause.
b. The court probably found that the state law was unconstitutional under the equal protection clause.
c. The court probably found that the state law was constitutional under the supremacy cause.
d. The court probably found that the state law was constitutional under the due process cause.
Answer:
The correct answer is option (a) The court probably found that the state law was unconstitutional under the supremacy cause.
Explanation:
Solution

The computer workstation furniture manufacturing that Santana Rey started in January is progressing well. As of the end of June, Business Solutions's job cost sheets show the following total costs accumulated on three furniture jobs
Job 602 Job 603 Job 604
Direct Materials $1,700 $3,100 $2,600
Direct labor 1,000 1,340 1,800
Overhead 500 670 900
Job 602 was started in production in May, and these costs were assigned to it in May: direct materials, $500; direct labor, $250; and overhead, $125. Jobs 603 and 604 were started in June. Overhead cost is applied with a predetermined rate based on direct labor costs. Jobs 602 and 603 are finished in June, and Job 604 is expected to be finished in July. No raw materials are used indirectly in June. (Assume this company’s predetermined overhead rate did not change over these months).
1. What predetermined overhead rate is used in June?
2. How much cost is transferred to finished goods inventory in June?
Answer:
1. 50%
2. $8,310
Explanation:
1. The computation of predetermined overhead rate is used in June is shown below:-
Predetermined overhead rate = Overhead Cost ÷ Direct labor Cost
= $125 ÷ $250
= 50%
2. The computation of cost is transferred to finished goods inventory in June is shown below:-
Job Raw Direct Overhead Total Cost transferred
material labor applied Cost to finished goods
602 $1,700 $1,000 $500 $3,200 $3,200
603 $3,100 $1,340 $670 $5,110 $5,110
604 $2,600 $1,800 $900 $5,300
Total
cost $7,400 $4,140 $2,070 $13,610 $8,310
The total cost is comprise of raw material, direct labor and overhead applied
And since Job 602 and 603 are finished in June so the same is to be considered and The job 604 is expected to finished in July so the same is not relevant
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
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.

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

Ending inventory assuming weighted-average cost would be (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round weighted-average unit cost to four decimals if necessary. Round your answer to the nearest dollar amount):a. $737.b. $694.c. $817.d. $752.
Answer:
Ending inventory assuming weighted-average cost would be $737
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
Date Transaction Number of Units Unit Cost Total
Apr. 1 Beginning inventory 550 2.33 $1,281.5
Apr. 20 Purchase 310 2.68 $830.8
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

Morrow Corporation had only one job in process during May—Job X32Z—and had no finished goods inventory on May 1. Job X32Z was started in April and finished during May. Data concerning that job appear below: Job X32Z Beginning balance $ 5,800 Charged to the job during May Direct materials $ 9,100 Direct labor $ 2,800 Manufacturing overhead applied $ 4,800 Units completed 180 Units in process at the end of May 0 Units sold during May 80 In May, overhead was overapplied by $380. The company adjusts its cost of goods sold every month for the amount of the overhead that was underapplied or overapplied. Required: 1. Using the direct method, what is the cost of goods sold for May?
Answer:
Cost of goods sold is $9,620
Explanation:
First step prepare the Cost of Goods Manufactured Account
Direct materials $ 9,100
Direct labor $ 2,800
Manufacturing overhead applied $ 4,800
Total Manufacturing Costs $16,700
Add Opening Work In Process $ 5,800
Less Closing Work In Process $ 0
Cost of Goods Manufactured $22,500
Next we need to calculate the cost of goods sold as follows :
Opening Finished Goods Inventory $0
Add Cost of Goods Manufactured $22,500
Less Closing Finished Goods Inventory ($12,500)
Cost of goods sold $10,000
Less Over-applied Overheads ($380)
Adjusted Cost of goods sold $9,620
Finished Goods Inventory = $22,500 × 100/180
= $12,500
Thus Cost of goods sold is $9,620
(c) One recent cost analysis report indicates that electricity from hydroelectric power can be produced for about $0.05 per kWh , while electricity from conventional coal-fired power plants can be produced for an average of about $0.11 per kWh . Calculate the percent change in the cost of electricity for a typical house resulting from a switch between conventional coal-fired power plants to hydroelectric power. Show your work.
Answer: 54.5%
Explanation:
Hydroelectric power is said to cost $0.05 per kWh to produce. A typical house uses 10,900 kWh in a year so in a year it would cost,
= 0.05 * 10,900
= $545
Coal-fired Electricity can be produced at a cost of $0.11 per kWh so a typical house would cost,
= $0.11 * 10,900
= $1,199
Percentage change in the cost using Coal-fired as a base is,
= (1,199 - 545)/1,199
= 0.5455
= 54.5%
54.5% is the percent change in the cost of electricity for a typical house resulting from a switch between conventional coal-fired power plants to hydroelectric power.
Answer:
The percent change in the cost of electricity from coal-fired to hydroelectric power = 54.5% reduction.
Explanation:
a) The cost of coal-fired power = $0.11 per KWh
b) The cost of hydroelectric power = $0.05 per KWh
c) The reduction or savings = $0.06 ($0.11 - $0.05) per KWh
d) The % change is therefore = $0.06/$0.11 x 100 = 54.5%
e) The implication is that it will cost a typical house 54.5% less when it switches from coal-fired power plants to hydroelectric power. The house will be paying $0.06 less per KWh.
The balanced scorecard measures financial and nonfinancial performance of a business. The balanced scorecard measured four areas. Identify one of the following that is not included as a performance measurement.
1. Internal Process
2. Employees
3. Innovation and learning
4. Financial
Answer:
2. Employees
Explanation:
The balanced scorecard is a standard used by managers in organizations to account for the progress made in the running of the business. 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.
When using capital rationing, unfunded proposals a.may be reconsidered if funds later become available. b.are discarded for purposes of decision making for all future plans. c.are always considered to be unacceptable. d.None of these choices are correct.
Answer:
A) may be reconsidered if funds later become available.
Explanation:
Capital rationing is a strategy used by businesses (firms, companies, organisations, investors etc) in restricting the number of investments or projects that a company can presently undertake. The projects chosen are those that have the greatest potential to bring in the highest marginal profit to the business. In this strategy, companies prioritise and delve into projects that have a high rate of returns on investments much more readily than projects with a lesser rate of return on investment (ROI).
Unfunded proposals refers to projects or propositions that did not make the cut for the capital released or were not considered as 'great profit opportunities' to be invested into at the present time based on the current strategy (capital rationing). Unfunded proposals are good ideas (as no business deliberately wants to make a loss) but they were not considered by the management to be investments to delve into immediately for various reasons (ranging from low ROI to low funds to wrong timing etc.)
Knowing this, we will therefore see that under the right circumstances, unfunded proposals could be picked up again and invested into.
As such, Option A (unfunded proposals may be reconsidered if funds later become available) is the correct answer

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

Manhattan Enterprises manufactures cookware sets and sells the sets to department stores. Manhattan expects to sell 2,400 cookware sets for $200 each in April and 3,500 cookware sets for $215 each in May. Sales are 15% cash and 85% on account. Compute the total budgeted sales for May. Group of answer choices
Answer:
Budgeted sales ($)= $752,500
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Manhattan expects to sell 2,400 cookware sets for $200 each in April and 3,500 cookware sets for $215 each in May.
To calculate the budgeted sales, we need to use the following formula:
Budgeted sales ($)= number of units sold*selling price per unit
Budgeted sales ($)= 3,500*215= $752,500
Answer:
752,500
Explanation:
An article presents a study that investigated the effect of varying the type of fertilizer on the height of certain Mediterranean woody tree species. In one experiment, three samples, each consisting of ten trees, were grown with three different fertilizers. One, the control group, was grown with a standard fertilizer. Another was grown with a fertilizer containing only half the nutrients of the standard fertilizer. The third was grown with the standard fertilizer to which a commercial slow-release fertilizer had been added. Following are the heights of the trees after one year.
Height Fertilizer Control 17.9 12.2 14.9 13.8 26.1 15.4 20.3 16.9 20.8 14.8 Deficient 7.5 74 13.8 116 115 17 132 129 176 9.5 Slow-releasel 19.8 20.3 16.1 179 124 12.5 174 19.9 27.3 14.4
a) If you want to construct a hypothesis to test for heights of the trees, state your null and alternative hypothesis.
b) Is the experiment a factorial balanced CR design?
c) What is the degree of freedom of treatment sum of square and error sum of square? If SSTrt and SSE is given: SSTrt=192.374 SSE=439.389, what is the value of your test statistics?
d) Compute the SST?
e) We get a p-value of 0.007 and we have significance level 0.05 for this case, state your conclusion of the test.
Answer:
Explanation:
a.
The experiment under study from the article involves a single factor fertilizer type, at three levels.
Hence, this is a completely randomized design with p=3 treatments.
Assuming :
[tex]\mu_ 1 ; \mu_2 \ and \ \mu_3[/tex] are mean heights for three types of fertilizer. Therefore, the null and alternative hypotheses are:
Null hypothesis:
[tex]H_o : \mu_ 1 = \mu_2 \ = \ \mu_3[/tex] ( i.e all type of population mean heights for three different fertilizers f are equal )
Alternative hypothesis:
[tex]H_1 :\mu_ 1 \neq \mu_2 \ \neq \ \mu_3[/tex] ( at least one of the fertilizer is not equal )
b.
This is a completely randomized design as p=3 treatment means are compared, where treatments are randomly assigned to the experimental units.
c.
[tex]SSTr(df)=p-1 \\ \\ =3-1 \\ \\=2, \\ \\ df(SSE)=n-p \\ \\ =30-3 \\ \\ =27 \\ \\ MSTr=SSTr/df(SSTr) \\ \\=192.374/2 \\ \\ =96.187; MSE=SSE/df(SSE) \\ \\ =439.389/27 \\ \\ =16.2737 \\ \\ F=MSTr/MSE \\ \\ =96.187/16.2737 \\ \\ =5.91[/tex]
d.
[tex]SST=SSTr+SSE \\ \\ =192.374+439.389\\ \\ =631.763[/tex]
e.
Given that the p-value is 0.007 and F = 5.91
Also;
p-value 0.007 is less than the level of significance 0.05.
Thus ; we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is difference in mean of all types of the fertilizers.
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.
2-B. A farmer estimates that if he harvests his soybean crop now, he will obtain 1,000 bushels, which he can sell at $3.00 per bushel. However, he estimates that this crop will increase by an additional 1,200 bushels of soybeans for each week he delays harvesting, but the price will drop at a rate of 50 cents per bushel per week; in addition, it is likely that he will experience spoilage of approximately 200 bushels per week for each week he delays harvesting. When should he harvest his crop to obtain the largest net cash return, and how much will be received for his crop at that time
Answer:
the farmer should wait for two weeks in order to be able to obtain 3,000 bushels and sell then at $2 per bushel, total revenue $6,000
Explanation:
time to harvest bushels price revenue
today 1,000 $3 $3,000
1 week 2,000 $2.50 $5,000
2 weeks 3,000 $2 $6,000
3 weeks 4,000 $1.50 $6,000
4 weeks 5,000 $1 $5,000
5 weeks 6,000 $0.50 $3,000
net increase per week = +1,200 bushels - 200 bushels = 1,000 bushels
Market efficiency Financial theorists have identified two different types of efficiency in financial markets. The first, informational efficiency, contributes to the existence and strength of the other, economic efficiency. The degree of informational efficiency exhibited by a market refers to the types of information incorporated into the prices observed in the market and the speed with which prices adjust when new relevant information is released into the market. Markets are said to exhibit one of three levels of informational efficiency: weak-form efficiency, semistrong-form efficiency, or strong-form efficiency. At any level, a market’s informational efficiency is likely to be stronger when there is a number of market participants receiving and analyzing relevant security and market information in search of the most profitable investments. The potential for a security to generate returns is what generates a profitable investment, since these returns result from price increases and decreases that are larger than they should be based on the riskiness of the investment. True or False: The degree of economic efficiency observed in a market is strongly influenced by the degree of informational efficiency that exists in the same market. False True
Answer: 1. Large
2. Abnormal
3. True
Explanation:
1. At any level, a market’s informational efficiency is likely to be stronger when there is a Large number of market participants.
When there is a larger number of participants, this means that there is a large number of people able to acquire and analyse information about securities and the financial markets.
As a result of this, information is more wide ranging and easily available such that they market has very good information efficiency.
2. The potential for a security to generate Abnormal returns is what generates a profitable investment.
When a security is potentially able to generate abnormal returns, there is a chance of making very profitable returns if those returns are higher or lower than estimated. When returns are estimated, these are usually reflected in the market price already because they are expected, when the returns are better or worse than expected though, this means that the prices were wrong therefore giving a chance of a positive gain on the security.
3. True.
Information efficiency is very important in the market. It can mean the difference between the market being manipulated and used for unfair gains and the market being used fairly by all. Information efficiency gives every market player the same Opportunity to find out about a security and act accordingly instead of select people taking advantage of hidden Opportunities.
Shipments of product X from a plant to a wholesaler are made in lots of 600 units. The wholesaler's average demand for product X is 150 units per week. Lead time from plant to wholesaler is 4 weeks. The wholesaler pays for the shipments when they leave the plant. What is the total of the wholesaler's cycle inventory and pipeline inventory?
Answer:
The total of the wholesaler's cycle inventory and pipeline inventory is 900 units.
Explanation:
In order to calculate the total of the wholesaler's cycle inventory and pipeline inventory we would have to make the following calculations:
Cycle inventory=lot size/2 = 600 / 2
Cycle inventory= 300 units
Pipeline inventory=leadtime*average demand=4*150
Pipeline inventory=600 units.
Therefore, Total Cycle + Pipeline inventory = 300 + 600
Total Cycle + Pipeline inventory =900 units
The total of the wholesaler's cycle inventory and pipeline inventory is 900 units.
