Answer:
A. Elasticity measure the change in quantity demanded that comes with a change in price. The elasticity formula is;
Elasticity = %change in quantity demanded / % change in price
0.4 = 20% / %change in price
%Change in price = 20%/0.4
= 0.5
= Increase price by 50%
= 50% * 5 = $2.50
Government should increase the price by $2.50 to make it $7.50.
B. Effect is larger 5 years from now
Effect will be larger 5 years from now than 1 year from now. This is because in 5 years the high prices would have forced smokers to look for more alternatives to smoking than in a year.
C. Teenagers have less income.
Teenagers likely have a higher price elasticity because they do not have the income to support an increase in the price of cigarettes so when the prices increase, they buy less than adults who are more likely to have an income stream.
Suppose that a country's economy is operating at an unemployment rate 6% higher than its natural rate of unemployment. Then a(n) __________ exists and government should _________.a. inflationary gap; increase spendingb. inflationary gap; decrease spendingc. recessionary gap; increase spendingd. recessionary gap; decrease spending
Answer:
c. recessionary gap; increase spending
Explanation:
When the country's economy is operating at an unemployment rate that is higher than its natural rate of unemployment, that means a lower level of consumer demand due to the fact that more number of people don't have jobs. Which in turn implies lower production level and thus lower GDP and thus causes a recessionary gap. In order to fill this recessionary gap the government should increase spending so as to boost money into the economy which will then boost consumer demand and thereby production level will increase and in turn will fill the gap.

Blue Spruce Corp. incurs the following expenditures in purchasing a truck:
Cash price $53,000
Accident insurance $3,800
Sales taxes $3,400
Motor vehicle license $100
Painting and lettering $400.
What is the cost of the truck?
Answer:
$56,800
Explanation:
The cost of the truck is calculated as;
= Cash price + Sales tax + Painting and lettering
Given that;
Cash price = $53,000
Sales tax = $3,400
Painting and lettering = $400
= $53,000 + $3,400 + $400
= $56,800
Therefore, cost of the truck is $56,800.
* Note
The expenditures for accident insurance and motor vehicle license will not be added to the cost of the truck.
Raven Company has a target of earning $71,200 pre-tax income. The contribution margin ratio is 16%. What amount of dollar sales must be achieved to reach the goal if fixed costs are $38,400
Answer:
$685,000
Explanation:
First and foremost, the formula for determining the contribution margin ratio can be used to determine the target dollars sales as shown below:
contribution margin ratio=contibution margin/sales revenue
contribution margin ratio=16%
contribution margin required=pretax income+fixed costs

Answer:
Playa, $10,000; Bahia, $18,500; Arco, $19,500.
Explanation:
Cash $33,000
Other assets $100,000
Total $133,000
Liabilities $50,000
Playa, capital (40%) $24,000
Bahia, capital (30%) $29,000
Arco, capital (30%) $30,000
Total $133,000
other assets sold for $80,000 resulting in a $20,000 loss
cash = $33,000 + $80,000 = $113,000
- liabilities ($50,000)
$63,000
- liquidation expenses ($15,000)
remaining cash $48,000
total loss = $20,000 + $15,000 = $35,000
partners' share of loss:
Playa = $14,000
Bahia = $10,500
Arco = $10,500
remaining capital accounts:
Playa = $24,000 - $14,000 = $10,000
Bahia = $29,000 - $10,500 = $18,500
Arco = $30,000 - $10,500 = $19,500

Classify each statement according to whether it will increase the equilibrium level of human capital investments or decrease the equilibrium level of human capital investments.
Answer:
Congress votes to double the amount of federally subsidized student loans - this will increase the equilibrium level of human capital investments because higher education is one of the most effective ways that people can use to increase their human capital.
There is a decrease in student learning capacities - decrease the equilibrium level of human capital investments because a lower learning capacity will prevent students from reaching their full potential.
Suburban families see a decrease in wealth due to a particularly poor performing sotck market - decrease because suburban families will have less income and wealth to spend, including expenditures in education and training.
The president signs into a law a bill that will reduce discrimination in the labor market - increase because workers that were previously kept from finding employment due to discrimination will now be able to obtain jobs and acquire working experience, this increases their human capital.
The natural talents and abilities of graduating high school students rise - increase because high school graduates have become more naturally skilled and this will help them through college and in their future jobs.

The State of Adaven issued $50 million of perpetual bonds in 1990. The bonds were issued in $100 denominations with an annual coupon interest rate of 5%. Determine the rate of return or current yield on these bonds if they are purchased at the current price of $40.a. 12.5%.b. 8.0%.c. 5.0%.d. 1.25%.
Answer: 12.5%
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that the State of Adaven issued $50 million of perpetual bonds in 1990 and that the bonds were issued in $100 denominations with an annual coupon interest rate of 5%.
The rate of return or current yield on these bonds if they are purchased at the current price of $40 will be calculated as:
= (5% × $100)/$40
= $5/$40
= 0.125 or 12.5%
What is the minimum nominal rate of return that you should accept if you require a 4% real rate of return and the rate of inflation is expected to average 3.5% during the investment period
Answer:
7.5%
Explanation:
real interest rate = nominal interest rate - inflation rate
nominal interest rate = real interest rate + inflation rate = 4% + 3.5% = 7.5%
inflation rate refers to the general increase in the price level while the real rate of return is the rate that investors seek after discounting inflation, i.e. the real gain of taking an investment.

When evaluating an investment, the MNC should consider the ____________ cash flows generated by the project.
a. total
b. variable
c. incremental
d. fixed
Answer: c. Incremental
Explanation:
Simply put incremental cashflow is the additional cashflow that accrues to a company when it takes on a new project. The Multinational company should therefore consider this when they are accepting a project.
If the new project has a positive incremental cashflow, it will add to the cashflows of the company and so should be initiated as opposed to those with negative incremental cashflows.
The current carrying value of Marigold’s $811000 face value bonds is $806000. If the bonds are retired at 105, what would be the amount Marigold would pay its bondholders?
Answer:
$846,300
Explanation:
since the face value of the bonds is $806,000 and they are retired at 105, the company will pay $806,000 x 1.05 = $846,300
the journal entry to record this transaction would be:
Dr Bonds payable 806,000
Dr Premium on bonds payable 5,000

Downing Company issues $4,000,000, 8%, 5-year bonds dated January 1, 2020 on January 1, 2020 (ten periods). The bonds pay interest semiannually on June 30 and December 31. The bonds are issued to yield 5%. What are the proceeds from the bond issue?
Answer:
$4,525,123.84
Explanation:
The computation of the proceeds from the issuance of the bond is shown below:
Given that
Face Value of Bonds = $4,000,000
Annual Coupon Rate = 8%
So, Semiannual Coupon Rate = 4%
So, Semiannual Coupon = 4% × $4,000,000
= $160,000
Time to Maturity = 5 years
So, Semiannual Period = 10
And,
Annual Interest Rate = 5%
So, Semiannual Interest Rate = 2.5%
Now the proceeds from the issuance of the bond is
= $160,0000 × PVIFA(2.5%, 10) + $4,000,000 × PVIF(2.5%, 10)
= $160,000 × 8.752064 + $4,000,000 × 0.78120
= $1,400,330.23 + $3,124,793.61
= $4,525,123.84
Waterway Industries purchased machinery for $905000 on January 1, 2017. Straight-line depreciation has been recorded based on a $52000 salvage value and a 5-year useful life. The machinery was sold on May 1, 2021 at a gain of $13000. How much cash did Waterway receive from the sale of the machinery?
Answer:
$ 178,733
Explanation:
From January 2017 when the machinery was acquired till May 1 2021 when it disposed of, depreciation would have been charged for full years 2017,2018,2019 and 2020 while 2021 depreciation would only be for 4 months.
Annual depreciation=cost-salvage value/ useful life
annual depreciation=($905000-$52000)/5=$170,600
depreciation for 4 years=$170,600*4=$682,400
depreciation for 4 months=$170,600*4/12=$56,867
accumulated depreciation=$682,400+$56,867=$739,267
carrying value=cost-accumulated depreciation= $905000- $739,267 =$165,733
gain on disposal=cash proceeds-carrying value
$13000=cash proceeds-$165,733
cash proceeds=$165,733 +$13000=$ 178,733
To this day, many companies believe that service is a cost rather than a revenue producer. Why might they hold this view? How would you argue the opposite view?
Answer: Difficulty involved in tracing the link between service and financial returns.
Explanation:
Many companies believe that service is a cost rather than a revenue producer due to the following reasons;
- There is this difficulty in tracing the link between service and financial returns.
- Profits are not directly linked to service provided most times, so it seems as though the service rendered was a cost rather than a revenue
- When service is rendeded most times, the results are not seen immediately, as it would require time to get tvalue and profit for what was done.

How much of these cash outflows will McKinney Enterprises expense?
Answer: $527,000
Explanation:
Salaries to authors = $347,000
Fees to contracted editors = $180,000
Copyrights obtained = $83,000
Purchase of a new printing warehouse = 1.3 million
Upgrade of current printing equipment = $560,000
McKinney Enterprises expense will be:
= Salaries to authors + Fees to contracted editors
= $347,000 + $180,000
= $527,000

Answer:
the number of units purchased in September is 33,000 units
Explanation:
The computation of the number of units purchased in September is shown below:
= September sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
= 31,000 + 41,000 × 20% - 31,000 × 20%
= 31,000 + 8,200 - 6,200
= 33,000 units
This is the answer but the same is not provided in the given options
hence, the number of units purchased in September is 33,000 units

Paul Corporation reported net income of $260,000 during the current calendar year. The company had 10,000 common shares outstanding on January 1 and sold an additional 6,000 shares on July 1. What is the company’s basic EPS?
Answer:
the company’s basic EPS is $37.14
Explanation:
Basic Earnings per share = Earnings attributable to holders of common stock ÷ Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks
Step 1 : Calculation of Earnings attributable to holders of common stock
This is given. It is the Net Income during the current year of $260,000
Step 2 : Calculation of Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks
