Answer:
1. 1,000 bushels of wheat
2. d) A situation where one country does not engage in trade with other
Explanation:
1 & 2. Autarky refers to a situation where a country does not engage in trade with other countries but rather relies on its own production capacities to feed the consumption in the country.
Autarkies in the current world are not a thing because countries trade with each other. Even North Korea trades with Russia, China and others.
In an Autarky situation therefore, the United States would only be able to consume the wheat that it produces itself which according to the question is 1,000 bushels of wheat.
Answer: 1. 1000 bushels of wheat.
2. A situation where one country does not engage in trade with other.
Explanation:
Autarky simply refers to an economy that's self sufficient and doesn't depend on other economies and doesn't trade with them.
1. The largest amount of wheat that the United States can consume every week will be 1000 bushels of wheat. This is because in autarky, nations won't engage in trading so whatever quantity of whameat that's produced will be consumed.
2. Autarky situation where one country does not engage in trade with other. Therefore, the correct option is D.
Because in many industries the cost of generating new ideas is so high, firms must charge a price ________ cost.a. equal to the marginalb. higher than the marginalc. lower than the marginald. equal to the average fixede. lower than the average fixed
Answer:
B. higher than the marginal
Explanation:
Marginal cost can be defined as the additional or extra cost that is being incurred by a company as a result of the production of an additional unit of a product or service.
Generally, marginal cost can be calculated by dividing the change in production costs by the change in level of output or quantity.
Because in many industries the cost of generating new ideas is so high, firms must charge a price higher than marginal cost in order to maximize profits or increase the amount of profits generated.

1. The company's profit margin is __________ percent.
2. The total asset turnover is __________ times.
3. The equity multiplier is __________ times.
4. Using the Du Pont Identity, the company's ROE is __________ percent.
Answer:
1. The company's profit margin is 13.4% percent.
profit margin = net income / net sales = $45,064 / $336,329 = 13.4%
2. The total asset turnover is 0.82 times.
asset turnover ratio = net sales / average assets = $336,329 / [($387,891 + $432,000)/2] = $336,329 / $409,945.50 = 0.82
3. The equity multiplier is 1.7 times.
equity multiplier = average total assets / average total equity = $409,945.50 / [($205,936 + $275,000)/2] = $409,945.50 / $240,468 = 1.70
4. Using the Du Pont Identity, the company's ROE is 18.68% percent.
ROE = profit margin x asset turnover x equity multiplier (or financial leverage) = 0.134 x 0.82 x 1.7 = 0.1868 = 18.68%
A tax system in which the tax rate on everyone's first $10,000 of income is 10 percent, the tax rate on everyone's second $10,000 of income is 15 percent, and the tax rate on all income over $20,000 is 25 percent is a(n):
Answer:
The appropriate response is "Progressive tax".
Explanation:
Progressive taxation appears to mean that the tax rate is higher for increased organizations as well as lower for low-income communities. Whenever the taxable income leads to higher, the above tax rate tends to increase. The approximately equal tax rate would be taxation that is set regardless including its up or down in tax liability.So that above is the correct answer.
Bikes and More just announced its next annual dividend will be $2.42 a share and all future dividends will increase by 2.5 percent annually. What is the market rate of return if this stock is currently selling for $22 a share?
Answer:
13.5%
Explanation:
market rate of return can be calculated with below expresion
Current Price = D / (K - g)
Where
Current Price = $22 a share
D= Dividend in coming Year
dividend = $2.42
K= rate of return
g =growth rate
22 = 2.42 / (K - 0.025)
Cross multiply we have
22(K - 0.025)= 2.42
Open the bracket we have
22k- 0.55=2.42
2.42 + 0.55= 22k
K = 2.97 / 22
= 0.135
= 0.135×100%
= 13.5%
Therefore, the market rate of return if this stock is currently selling for $22 a share is 13.5
An optimal procedure for organizations to accept projects is to specify a return on investment (ROI) and fund only projects that meet this criterion. A. True B. False
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Capital budgeting is needed in any project work as it entails the process and procedures taken in evaluation and selection of long-term investments that are consistent with the firm's goal of maximizing owner's wealth.
Normally, before a company invest or undergo any project, background work is done to know if the project will yet profit or no, feasibility study is carried out and things are put in place. If it is favourable for the firm and profit is high, firms may choose to invest after weighing the pros and cons (advantage and disadvantage) of the project before investment. So return of investment initial investment is not really considered when taking up a project as all project is done at their own risk.

In 2010, real GDP was $13.2 trillion and nominal GDP was $14.6 trillion. What was the GDP deflator for that year?a. 9.6% lower b. 9.6% higher c. 10.6% lower . d. 10.6% higher
Answer:
d. 10.6% higher
Explanation:
Given that;
Real GDP = $13.2 trillion
Nominal GDP = $14.6 trillion
GDP deflator = (Nominal GDP/Real GDP)× 100)
Hence,
GDP deflator = (14.6 / 13.2 ) × 100
GDP deflator = 110.6%
Thus,
= 110.6 - 100
= 10.6% higher

You have been texting with your friends trying to make plans for this evening. Your best friend Jocelyn is not sure if she will finish her homework in time to come out, but if she does, she wants to go to a new restaurant on the north end of town that you've both been wanting to try. Another group of friends is going to a restaurant on the south end of town, but you've already been to this restaurant and it was only okay. Overall, you would prefer to go to the restaurant with Jocelyn. But if Jocelyn isn't coming out, you would rather hang out with your friends than stay home. No one is returning your calls, but you need to get on the subway and head into town if you want to do anything this evening. You have to decide whether to head north or south. What can we say about a potential dominant strategy in this game?

In the case of the scenario above, it is possible to affirm that the dominant strategy is to go north because the statement provides information that the general, you prefer to go to the northern restaurant with Jocelyn, so this is configured as the correct option, regardless if the Jocelyn may or may not go, because in a dominant strategy what matters is to choose the most useful option for you, regardless of the actions of third parties.
Rent expense in Volusia Company's 2016 income statement is $420,000. If Prepaid Rent was $70,000 at December 31, 2015, and is $95,000 at December 31, 2016, the cash paid for rent during 2016 is:_________
Answer:
$445,000
Explanation:
The rent in Volusian company income statement for 2016 is $420,000
The prepaid rent is $70,000 at December 31 2015 and $95,000 at December 31 2016
Therefore the cash paid for rent in 2016 can be calculated as follows
= $420,000+($95,000-$70,000)
= $420,000 + $25,000
= $445,000
Anna Garden recently opened her own basketweaving studio. She sells finished baskets in addition to selling the raw materials needed by customers to weave baskets of their own. Unfortunately, owing to space limitations, Anna is unable to carry all varieties of kits originally assembled and must choose between two basic packages.
The Basic Kit includes undyed, uncut reeds (with dye included) for weaving one basket. This basic package costs Anna $16 and sells for $30. The second kit, called Stage 2, includes cut reeds that have already been dyed. With this kit the customer need only soak the reeds and weave the basket. Anna produces the Stage 2 kit by using the materials included in the Basic Kit. Because she is more efficient at cutting and dying reeds than her average customer, Anna is able to produce two Stage 2 kits in one hour from one Basic Kit. (She values her time at $18 per hour.) The Stage 2 kit sells for $36.
Prepare an incremental analysis for Anna's basket weaving studio.
Answer:
Stage 1 kit Stage 2 kit Differential amount
Selling price $30 $36 $6
Materials cost ($16) ($16) $0
per unit
Additional labor $0 $18/2 = ($9) ($9)
cost per unit
Contribution margin $14 $11 ($3)
per unit
Anna will lose $3 for every Stage 2 kit that she sells. Only if he is able to sell a much higher quantity of Stage 2 kits would it be worth it, but under current conditions Anna should focus on selling Stage 1 kits.

After graduating law school Amy has to start repaying her $110,000 in loans. Assuming the annual interest rate is 7.5% over a 20 year repayment period, what will be the monthly loan payments?
a. $886.15
b. $458.34
c. $899.18
d. $906.93
Answer:
monthly payment= $886.15
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
PV= $110,000
i= 0.075/12= 0.00625
n= 12*20= 240
To calculate the monthly payment, we need to use the following formula:
monthly payment= (PV*i) / [1 - (1+i)^(-n)]
monthly payment= (110,000*0.00625) / [1 - (1.00625^-240)]
monthly payment= $886.15

Do you agree or disagree with the following statements
a. The demand curve facing a monopolistic competitor in a market where all producers charge different prices becomes less elastic when it engages in international trade
b. According to the gravity equation, countries closer to each other trade more
c. The only gain from trade in monopolistic competition in trade is lower prices
d. The closer to 1 the index of intra industry trade is, the greater the difference between exports and imports of the same goods.
Answer:
a. The demand curve facing a monopolistic competitor in a market where all producers charge different prices becomes less elastic when it engages in international trade - Disagree
This statement is not true. If a monopolistic competitor engages in international trade, it will meet more competition, meaning that the audience (demand) that it has is more sensitive to prices, because they have more options available.
b. According to the gravity equation, countries closer to each other trade more - Agree
The gravity equation tells us that the volume of international trade is correlated with geographical proximity and economic size. That is to say, the closer and larger two economies are, the more international trade they engage with each other.
c. The only gain from trade in monopolistic competition in trade is lower prices - Disagree
Gains are the most important in lower prices, but there are also gains in competitiveness and quality.
d. The closer to 1 the index of intra industry trade is, the greater the difference between exports and imports of the same goods. - Disagree
An index of intra industry trade of 1 indicates that the country imports and exports roughly the same amount for a particular type of goods (the goods that belong to that industry). Hence, the statement is not true.
Barlow owns the surface rights for Canyon Ranch, but does not own the subsurface rights. Dusty owns the subsurface rights. Canyon Ranch includes a house, a bunkhouse, and two barns, which are damaged when Dusty is excavating for minerals under the surface. Most likely responsible for the damage is:________.
A) Dusty.
B) Barlow.
C) Dusty and Barlow.
D) no one.
Answer:
A) Dusty.
Explanation:
Generally, when you are dealing with property rights and any damages that occur to real property, the individual that possesses the oldest structure can sue other individuals that damage his/her structure by building or developing a new one.
E.g. in many cities, buildings or even homes tend to be built right next to other homes or buildings (specially in down town areas). If you are building a house right next to an existing house and the walls are damaged because because you dug to build a basement, then you are responsible and liable for the damages even if you never invaded the other property.
Discuss a prominent environmental or sustainability practice employed by a company that you believe has been forward thinking and successful in their efforts. How have their policies impacted the company, society, and the environment?
Explanation:
Sustainability is an increasingly recurrent issue on the world stage, which directly affects companies and the way their resources are used. Society increasingly demands that companies be environmentally responsible, as a way of protecting today's society and future generations, since natural resources are scarce and we depend on them for quality of life.
One company we can cite as an example is GOOGLE, a world-renowned company that promotes its environmental responsibility through its communication channels and adopts sustainable practices like the one announced in 2019, which until 2020 the company will not emit carbon in its products and in 2022 all hardware products used in the company will be made of recyclable materials.
Environmental policies have a positive impact on society as a whole, bringing the issue to the fore and making more and more people responsible for exercising sustainability. For the company, we can highlight the reduction of waste in the production process, adding continuous organizational improvement and better positioning of the company. in the market and for stakeholders.

It could be done at that date when the retirement is done in a constructive way also the bond terms that are left
Therefore both options should be recognized
Hence, the correct option is c.
Last year there was no change in either the raw materials or the work in process beginning and ending inventories. However, finished goods, which had a beginning balance of $25,000, increased by $15,000. If the manufacturing costs incurred totaled $600,000 during the year, the cost of goods available for sale must have been:_______.
a. $585,000
b. $600,000
c. $610,000
d. $625,000
Answer:
d. $625,000
Explanation:
cost of goods available for sale = cost of goods manufactured during the current period + finished goods inventory at the beginning of the period
cost of goods manufactured during the current period = $600,000finished goods inventory at the beginning of the period = $25,000cost of goods available for sale = $600,000 + $25,000 = $625,000
cost of goods sold = cost of goods available for sale - ending inventory = $625,000 - $40,000 = $585,000
Use the information for the question(s) below. Rosewood Industries has EBIT of $450 million, interest expense of $175 million, and a corporate tax rate of 35% If Rosewood had no interest expense, its net income would be closest to:___________ a. $430 million b. $160 million c. $290 million d. $405 million
Answer:
$180 million
Explanation:
Net income is calculated as;
= (EBIT - Interest expense)(1 - tax)
Given that;
EBIT = $450 million
Interest expense = $175 million
Tax = 35%
Net income = (450 - 175)(1 - 0.35)
Net income = (275)(0.65)
Net income = $178.75
Net income = $180 million approximated.
Rosewood's net income is closest to $180 million.
Scubapro Corporation currently has 500,000 shares of common stock outstanding and plans to issue 200,000 more shares in a seasoned equity offering. The current shareholders have pre-emptive rights on any new issues of common stock by Scubapro Corporation. How many shares would an investor who currently has 20,000 shares, have the right to buy if she exercises her pre-emptive right?A) 200,000 shares.
B) 120,000 shares.
C) 20,000 shares.
D) 12,000 shares.
E) 8,000 shares.
Answer:
Scubapro Corporation
The investor who currently has 20,000 shares has the right to buy this number of shares, if she exercises her preemptive right:
E) 8,000 shares.
Explanation:
Data and Calculations:
Outstanding common stock = 500,000
Planned issue of additional shares = 200,000
Proportion of new issue to outstanding = 0.40 (200,000/500,000)
For an investor with 20,000 shares, she has the right to buy 8,000 (20,000 * 0.40) additional shares.

Credit Losses Based on Accounts Receivable At December 31, Schuler Company had a balance of $364,900 in its Accounts Receivable account and a credit balance of $4,200 in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts account. The accounts receivable T-account consisted of $370,000 in debit balances and $5,100 in credit balances. The company aged its accounts as follows:
Current $303,000
0-60 days past due 42,000
61-180 days past due 17,000
Over 180 days past due 8,000
$370,000
In the past, the company has experienced credit losses as follows: 1% of current balances, 5% of balances 0-60 days past due, 15% of balances 61-180 days past due, and 40% of balances over six months past due. The company bases its allowance for doubtful accounts on an aging analysis of accounts receivable.
Required:
a. Prepare the adjusting entry to record the allowance for doubtful accounts for the year.
b. Show how Accounts Receivable (including the credit balances) and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts would appear on the December 31 balance sheet.
Answer:
a. First calculate the adjusting entry to record allowance.
Uncollectible for the year is;
= (303,000 * 1%) + (42,000 * 5%) + (17,000 * 15%) + (8,000 * 40%)
= $10,880
Adjusting entry = Uncollectable amount - Credit balance on allowance
= 10,880 - 4,200
= $6,680
DR Bad Debt Expense $6,680
CR Allowance for Doubtful accounts $6,680
b.
Current Assets:
Accounts Receivable $370,000
Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts ($10,880)
$359,120
Current Liabilities
Customers Overpayments $5,100
The current liability above arises from the credit balance of $5,100 in the Accounts receivable account. Accounts Receivable should have a debit balance so if a credit balance occurs it is an overpayment by a customer.
Betz Company's sales budget shows the following projections for next year:
Sales in Units: 1st Quarter = 60,000; 2nd Quarter = 80,000; 3rd Quarter = 45,000; 4th Quarter = 55,000
Inventory at the beginning of the year was 18,000 units. The finished goods inventory at the end of each quarter is to equal 30% of the next quarter's budgeted unit sales. How many units should be produced during the first quarter?
a) 24,000
b) 48,000
c) 66,000
d) 72,000
Answer:
c) 66,000
Explanation:
Calculation for How many units should be produced during the first quarte
Using this formula
Amount of Units produced = Ending inventory + Units sold + Beginning inventory
Let plug in the formula
Amount of Units produced= (30% × 80,000) + 60,000 − 18,000
Amount of Units produced= 24,000 + 60,000 − 18,000
Amount of Units produced=$66,000
Therefore the units that should be produced during the first quarter will be $66,000
