Answer:
b. Structural Unemployment
Explanation:
Structural unemployment exists due to a mismatch between jobseeker's skills and the currently available jobs in the market. This implies that the market has available job opportunities, but the current labor force may require retraining to take up the jobs effectively.
Advancements in technology may cause structural unemployment. In recent years, robots have been replacing unskilled workers. It means these workers must acquire skills through training to have a chance of getting hired elsewhere.
Determine the number of cycles per day and the production quantity per cycle for this set of vehicles:
Product /Daily Quantity
A, 20
B ,12
C, 4
D, 16
Determin the number of cycles.
Answer:
the number of cycles is 4
Explanation:
The computation of the number of cycles are presented below;
Product Daily Quantity Daily unit per cycle
A 20 20 ÷ 4= 5
B 12 12 ÷ 4= 3
C 4 4 ÷ 4= 1
D 16 16 ÷ 4= 4
hence, the number of cycles is 4
You purchase a $1,000 asset for $800. It pays $60 a year for seven years at which time you receive the $1,000 principal. Prove that the annual return on this investment is not 9 percent.
Answer:
Please check explanations for answer
Explanation:
Here, we want to prove that the ROI is not 9 percent per annum
The amount spent buying the item is $800
Now, there is $60 payment per year for 7 years
The total amount received as the total of payment per year after the 7 years will be;
7 * 60 = $420
Now, instead of the $800 paid initially, $1000 was returned as the principal
What this mean is that there is an extra $200 gain including the $420 that was paid earlier
So the total amount of gain on the investment is $200 + $420 = $620
Now, we proceed to calculate the percentage this was, relative to the amount invested
That would be;
620/800 * 100%
= 77.5%
So there was a 77.5% ROI
so the yearly return on this will be;
77.5%/7 = 11.07 which is approximately 11%
So the ROI is 11% and not 9%

Value added per employee is a financial measure of how much product was sold vs. how many employees worked during the
period. Is this statement true or false?
Congratulations! You won a prize in a contest! There are two choices: take the $500 prize today or wait one year and take the $500 prize a year from now. If the interest rate is 3%, compounded annually, how much interest would you be giving up if you took the prize a year from now?
Answer:
$15
Explanation:
The formula for calumniating compound interest is as below
A= P x ( 1 + r) ^1
For this case
A= Amount after one year
P = principal: $500
r= Interest rate 3% or 0.03
n = time in years: 1
A= $500 x ( 1 + 0.03) ^ 1
A = $500 x(1.03)
A= $500 x 1.03
A =$515
The interest missed is the future value - amount collected after one year.
=$515- $500
=$15

If you open an account that pays 3% interest, compounded annually, by depositing $10,000 today, then what is the value of the account in 20 years
Balance sheet and income statement data indicate the following:
Bonds payable, 6% (due in 15 years) $1,106,989
Preferred 8% stock, $100 par (no change during the year) $200,000
Common stock, $50 par (no change during the year) $1,000,000
Income before income tax for year $323,108
Income tax for year $96,932
Common dividends paid $60,000
Preferred dividends paid $16,000
Based on the data presented above, what is the times interest earned ratio (round to two decimal places)?
Answer:
the times interest earned ratio is 5.87 times
Explanation:
The computation of the times interest earned ratio is shown below:
Interest expense is
= Bonds payable × Interest rate
= $1,106,989 × 6%
= $66,419
Now
Times interest earned ratio is
= (Income before income tax for year + Interest expense) ÷ Interest expense
= ($323,108 + $66,419) ÷ ($66,419)
= 5.87 times
Hence, the times interest earned ratio is 5.87 times
Smith Company had the following on the dates indicated:
12/31/16 12/31/16
Total Assests $60,000 $330,000
Total Liabilities 35,000 25,000
Smith had no stock transactions in 2016; thus, the change in stockholders' equity for 2016 was due to net income and dividends. If dividends were $70,000, how much was Smith's net income for 2016? Use the accounting equation and the statement of retained earnings.
a. $220,000
b. $290,000
c. $150,000
d. $360,000
Answer: b. $290,000
Explanation:
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
Change in Assets = Change in liabilities + Change in Equity
560,000 - 330,000 = 35,000 - 25,000 + Change in equity
230,000 = 10,000 + Change in equity
Change in Equity = 230,000 - 10,000
= $220,000
Retained earnings = Change in equity + dividends
= 220,000 + 70,000
= $290,000

A farmer's market where sixty farmers come weekly to sell the produce they grow in their gardens is an example of monopolistic competition. True or False
Answer:
The given statement is "False".
Explanation:
Monopolistic competition has become a category of imperfectly competitive markets because too many production companies promote goods that vary widely from everyone else and however aren't mutually complementary. A company has taken as it were the costs incurred by some of its competitors as well as chooses to disregard the influence of its exchange rates mostly on rates of several other companies.Then the above obvious response is the right on
There are four resources and four jobs to be done. Assume there must be one-to-one matching between jobs and resources. The time required for each resource to do each job is as follows:
Job (Hours)
Resource A B C D
1 5 8 7 7
2 4 9 5 9
3 6 9 8 7
4 7 6 6 9
What is the optimal assignment of resources to jobs?
Multiple Choice
1 to A; 2 to C; 3 to B; 4 to D
1 to B; 2 to D; 3 to C; 4 to A
1 to C; 2 to B; 3 to A; 4 to D
1 to D; 2 to B; 3 to C; 4 to A
1 to A; 2 to C; 3 to D; 4 to B
Answer:
1 → A ; 2 → C ; 3 → D ; 4 → B
Explanation:
From the given information, the table can be better structured as follows:
Job (Hours)
Resource A B C D
1 5 8 7 7
2 4 9 5 9
3 6 9 8 7
4 7 6 6 9
From the table, the allocation of resources is based on the minimum number of jobs i.e. time(hours) required to do all four tasks appropriately.
These are 1 → A ; 2 → C ; 3 → D ; 4 → B
Then, the time taken by this process is = (5 + 5 + 7 + 6)
= 23 hours
At December 31, 2021, Hull-Meyers Corp had the following onvestments that were purchased during 2021, its first year of operations
Hoi Chong Transport, Ltd., operates a fleet of delivery trucks in Singapore. The company has determined that if a truck is driven 105,000 kilometers during a year, the average operating cost is 11.4 cents per kilometer. If a truck is driven only 70,000 kilometers during a year, the average operating cost increases to 13.4 cents per kilometer.(The Singapore dollar is the currency used in Singapore.)
Requirement 1:
Using the high-low method, estimate the variable and fixed cost elements of the annual cost of the truck operation. (Round the variable cost per kilometer to 3 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
Variable cost per kilometer $
Fixed cost per year $
Requirement 2:
Express the variable and fixed costs in the form Y = a + bX. (Round the variable cost per kilometer to 3 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
Y = $ + $ X
Requirement 3:
If a truck were driven 80,000 kilometers during a year, what total cost would you expect to be incurred? (Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
Total annual cost $
Work done so far:
HIGH :11.4 * 105,000 = 1,197,000
LOW: 13.4 * 70,000 = 938,000
Total Variable cost = 105,000 * 7.4 = 777,000
Fixed cost = 1,197,000 - 777,000 = 420,000
Answer:
1. $0.074 km
2. Total cost = $4,200 + 0.074x
3. $10,120
Explanation:
The computation of the fixed cost and the variable cost per hour using high and low method is seen below
Variable cost per hour = (High operating cost - Low operating cost) ÷ (High driven in kilometers - Low driven in kilometers),
Where,
High operating cost = 105,000 km × 11.4%
= $11,970
Low operating cost = 70,000 km × 13.4%
= $9,380
Hence,
= ($11,970 - $9,380) ÷ (105,000 km - 70,000 km)
= $2,590 ÷ 35,000 km
= $0.074 per km
Now, the fixed cost equal to
= High operating cost - (High driven in kilometers × Variable cost per km)
= $11,970 - (105,000 km × $0.074 )
= $11,970 - $7,770
= $4,200
2. The equation is as seen below;
Y = a + bx
Therefore,
Total cost = $4,200 + 0.074x
3. Y = a + bx
= $4,200 + 0.074 × 80,000
= $4,200 + $5,920
= $10,120
During 2021, its first year of operations, American Laminating Corporation reported an operating loss of $120 million for financial reporting and tax purposes. The enacted tax rate is 25%. In 2019, American reported a pretax accounting income of $40 million and applies a net operating loss carryforward up to 80% of taxable income. Which of the following is incorrect?
a. Income tax payable in 2018 is zero.
b. Net loss in 2018 is $79 million.
c. The deferred tax asset balance at the end of 2018 is $21 million.
d. The deferred tax asset balance decreases in 2019.
e. Income tax expense in 2019 is zero.
Answer: e. Income tax expense in 2019 is zero.
Explanation:
There will still be an income tax in 2019 so the above statement is incorrect.
American applies net operating loss carryforward up to 80% of taxable income which means that their taxable income is:
= 40,000,000 * ( 1 - 80%)
= $8,000,000
Income tax expense for 2019:
= 25% * 8,000,000
= $2,000,000
If workers demand and receive higher real wages as a result of successful wage push, the cost of production __and the aggregate supply curve shifts
Select one:
a. falls; left
b. rises; left
c. falls, right
d. rises; right
= rises; left
Answer:
b. rises; left
Explanation:
Wage is the amount incurred in compensating workers for their services. It is a major expense for producers. Wage is one of the inputs in the manufacturing process; producers need labor services to continue operating. An increase in wages raises the production cost of the finished goods.
An increase in the cost of production may limit the quantity of output from the producers. As production cost increase, producers will require additional funds to finance the high production costs. Since resources are scarce in every industry, producers may opt to lower their output to avoid incurring high costs. A decrease in the production volume shifts the aggregate supply curve to the left.
5) Clark Imports sold a depreciable plant asset for cash of $35,000. The accumulated
depreciation amounted to $70,000, and a loss of $5,000 was recognized on the sale. Under
these circumstances, the original cost of the asset must have been:
Answer:
$110,000
Explanation:
For depreciation, a loss or gain is realized by subtracting the selling price from the book value. Accumulated depreciation is the total amount that has been deducted as depreciation amount.
I.e., profit or loss = selling price - book value
In this case, a loss of $5000 was realized, the selling price was $35,000. The book value must have been $40,000.
$35,000 - $40,000 = - $5,000
The original cost will be the book value + depreciation amount
=$40,000 +$70,000
=$110,000
Suppose that Yakov, an economist from a university in Arizona, and Ana, an economist from a nonprofit organization on the West Coast, are arguing over saving incentives. The following dialogue shows an excerpt from their debate:
Kyoko: I think it' safe to say that, in general, the savings rate of households in today's economy is much lower than it really needs to be to sustain an improvement in living standards.
Jacques: I think a switch from the income tax to a consumption tax would bring growth in living standards.
Kyoko: You really think households would change their saving behavior enough in response to this to make a difference? Because I don't.
The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to _________
a. differences in scientific judgments
b. differences between perception versus reality
c. differences in values
Answer: a. differences in scientific judgments
Explanation:
Economists generally argue about most policies due to the different schools of thought that they adhere to.
These schools of thought are influenced by scientific judgements they believe to be the most applicable to the economies of nations. This difference in opinion between these two is most likely because they follow different schools of thought with differences in scientific judgements.
You want to purchase your first house. A conventional mortgage will require a credit score of approximately 630. Your credit score is 560. You need to increase it by 70 points to get to 630. If you increase your score by 12% per year, how many years will it take to lift your score to 630?
Answer:
1.1 years
Explanation:
The currents credit score is 560
the credit score is increasing by 12% per year is
=12% of 560
=12/100 x 560
=0.12 x 560
=67.2
The required increase is 70 points
the years it will take = 70 points /67.2 points
=1.041 years

In Year 1, in a project to develop Product X, Lincoln Company incurred research and development costs totaling $10 million. Lincoln is able to clearly distinguish the research phase from the development phase of the project. Research-phase costs are $6 million, and development-phase costs are $4 million. All of the IAS 38 criteria have been met for recognition of the development costs as an asset. Product X was brought to market in Year 2 and is expected to be marketable for 5 years. Total sales of Product X are estimated at more than $100 million.
Required:
a. Determine the impact research and development costs have on Lincoln Company's Year 1 and Year 2 income under (1) IFRS and (2) U.S. GAAP.
b. Summarize the difference in income, total assets, and total stockholders' equity related to Product X over its five-year life under the two different sets of accounting rules.
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Data Given:
Research and Development Cost = $10 million
Research Phase Cost = $6 million
Development Cost = $4 million
Total Sales of Product X are estimated at more than = $100 million
Solution:
a.
1. IFRS:
Research cost of $6 million have been expensed in year 1 in case of IFRS.
Whereas, for year 2 developmental cost is reported as assets and amortization is recorded on the asset which is the 5th part of the developmental cost of $4 million.
$4,000,000/5 = $800,000
2. U.S. GAAP:
Under U.S. GAAP in year 1, total of $10 million have been expensed including both research and development cost.
Under U.S. GAAP in year 2, however, there is no asset reported and all the costs are expensed in year 1 hence, no impact on the income statement.
b.
Income: In year 1 under IFRS, income will be higher by $4 million ($10-$6)million before the implication of tax.
But for year 2 to year 5:
In case of IFRS, income will be lowered due to the amortization on the deferred development cost. It will decrease by $800,000.
The total assets and stock holder's equity under IFRS will be higher by the following amounts each of the years.
Year 1 $4,000,000
Year 2 $3,200,000
Year 3 $2,400,000
Year 4 $1,600,000
Year 5 $800,000
The above amount is decreased by $800,000 each year because of the amortization of asset.

Entries for Issuing Bonds and Amortizing Premium by Straight-Line Method Smiley Corporation wholesales repair products to equipment manufacturers. On April 1, Year 1, Smiley Corporation issued $20,000,000 of five-year, 9% bonds at a market (effective) interest rate of 8%, receiving cash of $20,811,010. Interest is payable semiannually on April 1 and October 1.
a. Journalize the entry to record the issuance of bonds on April 1, Year 1. For a compound transaction, if an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.
b. Journalize the entry to record the first interest payment on October 1, Year 1, and amortization of bond premium for six months, using the straight-line method. (Round to the nearest dollar.) For a compound transaction, if an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.
c. Why was the company able to issue the bonds for $20,811,010 rather than for the face amount of $20,000,000?
The market rate of interest is the contract rate of interest.
Answer:
a. Journal Entry Debit Credit
Cash $20,811,010
Bonds Payable $20,000,000
Premium on Bonds Payable $811,010
(To record the issuance of bonds on April 1)
b. Journal Entry Debit Credit
Interest expense $818,899
Premium on Bonds payable $81,101
(811,010/5 * 6/12)
Cash $900,000
(To record the first interest payment on October 1,
Year 1, and amortization of bond premium)
c. Company can issue at price 20,811,010 instead of 20,000,000 because coupon rate of company is higher than the effective rate of interest so company is able to issue the bonds have been issued at a premium.
