Answer:
a. The desired fiscal stimulus is $35.0 billion.
b. The income tax cut is $36.8 billion.
c. The amount of government spending that would achieve the target is $35.0 billion.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
If the AD shortfall is $700 billion and the MPC is 0.95, Instructions: Enter your responses rounded to one decimal place.
a. How large is the desired fiscal stimulus?
b. How large an income tax cut is needed?
c. Alternatively, how much government spending would achieve the target?
The explantion of the answers is now provided as follows:
From the question, we have:
Aggregate demand (AD) shortfall = $700 billion
Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) = 0.95
a. How large is the desired fiscal stimulus?
To calculate the the desired fiscal stimulus, we need to first calculate the multiplier as follows:
Multipliers = 1 (1 - MPC) ................... (1)
Substituting the value into equation (1), we have:
Multipliers = 1 (1 - 0.95) = 1 / 0.05 = 20
The formula for calculating the fiscal stimulus is as follows:
Fiscal stimulus = AD shortfall / Multiplier ..................... (2)
Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:
Fiscal stimulus = $700 billion / 20 = $35.0 billion.
Therefore, the desired fiscal stimulus is $35.0 billion.
b. How large an income tax cut is needed?
This can be calculated using the following formula:
Income tax cut = Fiscal stimulus / MPC .............. (3)
Substituting the values into equation (3), we have:
Income tax cut = $35 billion / 0.95 = $36.8421052631579 billion
Rounding to one decimal place, we have
Income tax cut = $36.8 billion
Therefore, the income tax cut is $36.8 billion.
c. Alternatively, how much government spending would achieve the target?
The amount of increase in government spending that would achieve the target is the same thing as the desired fiscal stimulus already obtained in part a above.
Therefore, the amount of government spending that would achieve the target is $35.0 billion.

Assume General Electric Company agreed in May 2016 to construct a nuclear generator for NSTAR, a utility company serving the Boston area. General Electric Company estimated that its construction costs would be $960 million. The contract price of $1,200 million is to be paid as follows: $400 million at the time of signing; $400 million on December 31, 2016; and $400 million at completion in May 2017. General Electric incurred the following costs in constructing the generator: $384 million in 2016 and $576 million in 2017.
Required:
Compute the amount of General Electric's revenue, expense, and income for both 2016 and 2017, and for both years combined, under the cost-to-cost revenue recognition method. Enter dollar amounts in millions.
Answer:
date revenue costs
May 2016 $400
Dec. 2016 $400 $384 / $960 = 40%
May 2017 $400 $576 / $960 = 60%
Revenue recognized during 2016 = $1,200 x 40% = $480 million
Expenses recognized during 2016 = $384 million
Income recognized during 2016 = $480 - $384 = $96 million
Revenue recognized during 2017 = $1,200 x 60% = $720 million
Expenses recognized during 2017 = $576 million
Income recognized during 2017 = $720 - $576 = $144 million
Combined years:
Revenue recognized = $1,200 million
Expenses recognized = $960 million
Income recognized = $240 million

Last week, an investigative reporter for a major metropolitan newspaper discovered that the doctors conducting clinical trials of a new cancer treatment drug are also the principal shareholders in Cancer Solutions Inc. (CSI). CSI is the company developing and attempting to market the drug. Upon being interviewed by federal authorities, the doctors acknowledged their conflict of interest but reported that they were sold the shares at a 75% discount by CSI's chief financial officer. The CFO was concerned that CSI might not be able to meet its annual performance objectives and in turn pay his anticipated multimillion-dollar bonus.
Does an agency conflict exist between CSI's CFO and the company's shareholders?
a. Yes; CSI's CFO engaged in unethical conduct to manipulate the firm's short-term earnings and improve the likelihood of receiving his annual bonus.
b. Yes; the shares should not have been sold at a 75% discount, which is price discrimination.
c. No; professionals, such as doctors and professional money managers, would not participate in unethical activities.
d. No; in general, shareholders are satisfied with company officers engaging in any type of legal or illegal activity to ensure the chances of them receiving greater dividend payments.
Which of the following actions will help ease agency conflicts and better align managers' objectives with the firm's shareholder wealth?
a. Pay the manager a combination of salary and stock options (phased in over several years) that reward him or her for consistently increasing shareholder wealth.

At Davide Corporation, direct materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversions costs are uniformly applied. Other details include:
WIP beginning (60% for conversion) 17,500 units
Units started 114,500 units
Units completed and transferred out 111,700 units
WIP ending (30% for conversion) 20,300 units
Beginning WIP direct materials $22,300
Beginning WIP conversion costs $19,700
Costs of materials added $370,000
Costs of conversion added $280,000
What is the total cost of units completed and transferred out?
Answer and Explanation:
For materials
Equivalent completed units = Completed units + WIP ending
= 111,700 + 20,300
= 132,000 units
Cost of materials = Beginning WIP + Cost of materials added
= 22,300 + 370,000
= $392,300
Cost of material per units = 392,300 ÷ 132,000
= $2.97197
For conversions
Equivalent completed units = Completed units + WIP ending
= 111,700 + 20,300 × 30%
= 117,790 units
Cost of Conversion = Beginning WIP + Cost of conversion added
= 19,700 + 280,000
= $299,700
Cost of conversion per units = 299,700 ÷ 117,790
= $2.54436
Total cost of units completed and transferred out
= 111,700 × (2.97197 + 2.54436)
= $616,174
The environmental protection agency of a county would like to preserve a piece of land as a wilderness area. The current owner has offered to lease the land to the county for 20 years in return for a lump-sum payment of $1.1 million, which would be paid at the beginning of the 20-year period. The agency has estimated that the land would generate $110,000 per year in benefits to hunters, bird watchers, and hikers. Assume that the lease price represents the social opportunity cost of the land and that the appropriate real discount rate is 4 percent.
a. Assuming that the yearly benefits, which are measured in real dollars, accrue at the end of each of the 20 years, calculate the net benefits of leasing the land. Should the environmental protection agency pay for this piece of land?
b. Some analysts in the agency argue that the annual real benefits are likely to grow at a rate of 2 percent per year due to increasing population and county income. Recalculate the net benefits assuming that they are correct. Should the environmental protection agency pay for this piece of land?
Answer: Check explanation
Explanation:
a. For this scenario, it should be noted that the net benefits for the land lease will be equal to the present value of the benefits that are generated. This will be the annual benefit multiplied by the present value of annuity factor. This will be:
= $110,000 x 13.59
= $1,494,900
From the calculation, we can see that the lease price is less than the present value calculated, this implies that the transaction will incur a profit and should be undertaken.
b. For the growing annuity here, the calculation will be:
= [$110,000/(4% - 2%)] x [1 - [(1 + 2%)/(1 + 4%)]²⁰]
= [$110,000/2%] × [1 - (1 + 0.02)/(1 + 0.04)²⁰]
= $5,500,000 x 0.321833005
= $1,770,081.53
The environmental agency should pay for the piece of land as the present value calculated is higher.
Note that the present value of the annuity factor for 20 years at 4% = 13.59

On January 1, 2021, The Barrett Company purchased merchandise from a supplier. Payment was a noninterest-bearing note requiring five annual payments of $25,000 on each December 31 beginning on December 31, 2021, and a lump-sum payment of $150,000 on December 31, 2025. A 10% interest rate properly reflects the time value of money in this situation.
Required:
Calculate the amount at which Barrett should record the note payable and corresponding merchandise purchased on January 1, 2021.
Answer:
$187,908
Explanation:
Hint : Use time of Value techniques to calculate the price (today) : January 1, 2021.
Pmt = ($25,000)
n = 5
Fv = ($150,000)
i = 10 %
P/yr = 1
Pv = ?
Using a Financial Calculator, the price (today) that is the PV will be $187,907.87 or $187,908.
Thus the amount at which Barrett should record the note payable and corresponding merchandise purchased on January 1, 2021 will be $187,908.

You are invested in two hedge funds. The probability that hedge fund Alpha generates positive returns in any given year is 60%. The probability that hedge fund Omega generates positive returns in any given year is 70%. Assume the returns are independent. What is the probability that both funds generate positive returns in a given year? What is the probability that both funds lose money?
Answer:
42% and 12%
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
For Alpha Fund
Positive return = 60%
Lose money is
= 1 - 0.60
= 40%
For Omega Fund
Positive return = 70%
Lose money is
= 1 - 0.70
= 0.30
Also the returns are non-dependent
Now the positive return is
= 60% × 70
= 42%
And, the probability of lose money is
= 40% × 30%
= 12%

An example of economies of scope is: Group of answer choices Google utilizing its information processing capabilities to provide data analysis services to other firms. The 200,000 unit production threshold for GM to make a profit on a car model. Decreasing per unit costs given increased unit production. Increasing per unit costs given increased unit production. None of the available answers.
Answer:
Google utilizing its information processing capabilities to provide data analysis services to other firms.
Explanation:
Many people confuse economies of scope with economies of scale. Economies of scope result when producing 2 or more different goods or services together is cheaper than producing them separately. While economies of scale refers to decreasing unit costs as the total output increases.
In the example above, Google already processes information for itself, and it is using that information to sell services to other companies. By producing both services together, the production costs lower.
At a local business school, there is a toasted submarine sandwich process that uses a conveyor-fed oven. ( See picture below) Alice is the sole operator of the sub making process. In the first step of the process, she spends 2 minutes putting various ingredients in the sub. Then, she puts the sub on a conveyor belt and, over a period of 12 minutes, the conveyor moves the sub from the beginning of the oven to the end of the oven, fully toasting it. After the sub comes out of the oven, Alice spends 1 minute slicing the sandwich and putting it in a box. At most, 5 subs can fit in the oven at once. The toasting time in the oven does not depend on the number of subs in the oven.
Required:
a. Draw a process-flow chart for the sandwich-making process.
b. Calculate the hourly capacity of this sandwich-making process.
c. Suppose another employee is hired to do the slicing and boxing, and Zeynep now only loads the sandwiches with the right ingredients. What is the hourly capacity of this process with the additional employee?
Answer:
b. 20 sandwiches
c. 25 sandwiches
Explanation:
1. I added this diagram of the flow chart as an attachment
2.
Hourly capacity of sandwich making process:
Time it makes to 1 sandwich: 2 + 12 + 1 = 15
The time alice spends when making one sandwich = 2 + 1 = 3
oven uses 12 minutes to process one sandwich, so in 12 minutes, alice can can make 12/3 sandwiches = 4
The Oven can take 5 subs at a time,
So in one hour, the making process
= 60/3 = 20 sandwiches
3.
To calculate Hourly capacity with additional employee:
Alice takes 2 minutes
Additional employees takes 1 minute
Oven uses 12 minutes to make one sandwich
It's only after every 2 minutes Alice can put one sandwich. The oven can take only 5 sandwiches.
So in an hour:
Since oven can take 5
Sandwiches at a time, therefore one sandwich takes,
12 / 5 = 2.4 minutes.
In 1 hour number we have number of processed sandwich as
60 / 2.4 = 25
At hourly capacity with additional employees we have 25 sandwiches
Air conditioning for a college dormitory will cost $2.1 million to install and $170,000 per year to operate at current prices. The system should last 19 years. The real cost of capital is 9%, and the college pays no taxes. What is the equivalent annual cost
Answer:
$404,634
Explanation:
the formula that we can use to calculate equivalent annual costs is:
EAC = asset price x {discount rate / [1 - (1 + discount rate)⁻ⁿ]} + annual maintenance costs
EAC = $2,100,000 x {0.09 / [1 - (1.09)⁻¹⁹]} + $170,000
EAC = $2,100,000 x {0.09 / [1 - (1.09)⁻¹⁹]} + $170,000 = $234,634 + $170,000 = $404,634
EAC is basically the cost of using an asset during its lifetime. We are determining the cost per year, assuming that they are all equal.

Answer:
Van Frank Telecommunications
December 31, 2016:
Debit Amortization Expense - Patent $4,400,000
Credit Accumulated Amortization-Patent $4,400,000
To record the revised amortization expense for the year.
Explanation:
Data and Calculations:
Patent's value on January 1, 2012 = $19,800,000
Patent's assessed lifespan = 9 years
Amortization expense for each year on straight-line = $2,200,000 ($19,800,000/9)
Accumulated Amortization for Patent = $6,600,000 (for 3 years)
Net book value of patent = $13,200,000 ($19,800,000 - $6,600,000)
Revised lifespan = 6 years
Revised amortization expense per year = $4,400,000 ($13,200,000/3)
After visiting several automobile dealerships, Richard selects the used car he wants. He likes its $10,000 price, but financing through the dealer is no bargain. He has $2,000 cash for a down payment, so he needs an $8,000 loan. In shopping at several banks for an installment loan, he learns that interest on most automobile loans is quoted at add-on rates. That is, during the life of the loan, interest is paid on the full amount borrowed even though a portion of the principal has been paid back. Richard borrows $8,000 for a period of four years at an add-on interest rate of 11 percent. What is the total interest on Richard’s loan? What is the total cost of the car? What is the monthly payment? What is the annual percentage rate (APR)?
Answer:
A. $3,520
B. $13,520
C. $240 monthly
D. 21.55%
Explanation:
A. Calculation for the total interest
Using this formula
Interest = (Principal) (Rate) (Time)
Let plug in the formula
Interest = (8000)(.11)(4)
Interest = $3,520
B. Calculation for the total cost of the car
Using this formula
Total Cost = Down Payment + Principal amount Borrowed + Interest amount
Let plug in the formula
Total Cost = $2,000 + $8,000 + $3,520
Total Cost = $13,520
C. Calculation for the monthly payment
Using this formula
Monthly Payment = (Principal amount Borrowed + Total interest amount ) / Total number of payments
Monthly Payment = ($8,000 + $3,520) / 48
Monthly Payment=$11,520/48
Monthly Payment=$240 monthly
Note 4-year * 12 months will give us 48months
D. Calculation for the annual percentage rate (APR) using this formula
APR= (2 × n × I) / [P × (N + 1)]
Let plug in the formula
APR = (2 × 12 × $3,520) / [$8,000 × (48+1)]
APR =$84,480/$8,000×49
APR=$84,480/$392,000
APR=0.2155×100
APR= 21.55%

Farr Corp. purchased a new delivery van on January 1, 2020 and chose to use the double declining balance depreciation method. The van cost $48,000 with an estimated life of five years and a $12,000 salvage value. After the year end adjustment, how much accumulated depreciation would be recorded on the van at December 31, 2021
Answer:
$30,720
Explanation:
First, we will calculate the depreciation for 2020.
Depreciation for 2020 = ($48,000 cost - 0) × 40%
= $19,200
Depreciation for 2021 = ($48,000 cost - $19,200 depreciation 2020) × 40%
= $11,520
Accumulated depreciation at the end of 2021
= $11,520 + $19,200
= $30,720
The value of $30,720 will be recorded as accumulated depreciation on the value of the van at December 31, 2021.
• Note, the asset's annual depreciation will be 20% of the depreciation cost since its useful life is 5. It will however be 40% since we are using the double declining balance method.
