Consider two neighboring island countries called Arcadia and Dolorium. They each have 4 million labor hours available per week that they can use to produce jeans, corn, or a combination of both. The following table shows the amount of jeans or corn that can be produced using 1 hour of labor.
Country Jeans (Pairs per hour of labor) Corn(Bushels per hour of labor)
Arcadia 5 10
Dolorium 4 16
Initially, suppose Arcadia uses 1 million hours of labor per month to produce corn and 3 million hours per month to produce jeans, while Dolorium uses 3 million hours of labor per month to produce corn and 1 million hours per month to produce jeans. Consequently, Arcadia produces 8 million bushels of corn and 48 million pairs of jeans, and Dolorium produces 15 million bushels of corn and 20 million pairs of jeans. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade goods, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consumes the amount of corn and jeans it produces.
Arcadia's opportunity cost of producing 1 pair of jeans is _____ of corn, and Dolorium's opportunity cost of producing 1 pair of jeans is _____ of corn. Therefore, ____ has a comparative advantage in the production of jeans, and ____ has a comparative advantage in the production of corn.
Answer:
Arcadia's opportunity cost of producing 1 pair of jeans is 2 bushels of corn, and Dolorium's opportunity cost of producing 1 pair of jeans is 4 bushels of corn. Therefore, Arcadia has a comparative advantage in the production of jeans, and Dolorium has a comparative advantage in the production of corn.
Explanation:
maximum production
jeans corn
Arcadia 20 40
Dolorium 16 64
initial production
jeans corn
Arcadia 15 10
Dolorium 4 48
Arcadia's opportunity costs:
jeans = 40 / 20 = 2 bushels of corn
corn = 20 / 40 = 0.5 pairs of jeans
Dolorium's opportunity costs:
jeans = 64 / 16 = 4 bushels of corn
corn = 16 / 64 = 0.25 pairs of jeans
When you retire 35 years from now, you want to have $1.25 million. You think you can earn an average of 13.5 percent on your investments. To meet your goal, you are trying to decide whether to deposit a lump sum today, or to wait and deposit a lump sum 2 years from today. How much more will you have to deposit as a lump sum if you wait for 2 years before making the deposit
Answer:
$19,144.61
Explanation:
The first step would be to determine the present value of $1.25 million. After, the future value of that amount in 2 years has to be calculated
The formula for calculating future value:
P = FV / (1 + r)^n
FV = Future value
P = Present value
R = interest rate
N = number of years
$1.25 million / (1.135)^35 = $14,861.23
Now we find the future value using this formula :
FV = P (1 + r)^n
$14,861.23 x (1.135)^2 = $19,144.61
Aaron, clerical supervisor for a health maintenance organization, wants to hire the best person for the receptionist job. Ramona, his manager, is doubtful that the candidate Aaron has selected will be capable because she uses a wheelchair. Ramona is concerned that other workers will have to spend a lot of time helping the receptionist get in and out of the office for lunch, breaks, and so on. How can Aaron ensure that his candidate will be an asset to the firm?
Answer:
Explanation:
There are two things that Aaron can do to make sure of this. The first is to make the office wheelchair-friendly. Meaning installing ramps in the necessary places so that the candidate can easily traverse the office and get to and from the places she needs easily and by herself. The second thing that Aaron can do is make sure that the candidate's abilities are better than the other candidates. These skills will make her an asset because she will be able to bring insight and experience that the other candidates would never be able to.
Each of the following is a characteristic of a defined benefit retirement plan EXCEPT: Question 3 options: The plan assigns the risk of pre-retirement inflation, investment performance, and adequacy of retirement income to the employee. The plan specifies the benefit an employee receives at retirement. The plan has less predictable costs as compared to defined contribution plans. The law specifies the maximum allowable benefit payable from the plan is equal to the lesser of 100% of salary or $230,000 (2020) per year currently
Answer:
Each of the following is a characteristic of a defined benefit retirement plan EXCEPT:
The plan assigns the risk of pre-retirement inflation, investment performance, and adequacy of retirement income to the employee.
Explanation:
No. With a defined benefit retirement plan, the risk of pre-retirement inflation, investment performance, and adequacy of retirement income is never assigned to the employee. Instead, the employer bears this risk. The defined benefit plan always specifies the benefit to which an employee is entitled to at retirement. It also demands that the employee must work for a certain defined period to be entitled to this benefit. By its nature, the defined benefit plan provides a fixed and pre-established benefit for employees. This is why it is preferred by employees.

Scholars have noted each of the following elements that explain the importance of conferences EXCEPT:
a. The conference is the crucial unit in shaping and regulating intercollegiate athletics because it can have more impact on shaping athletic policies than the NCAA does.
b. Conferences demand that schools and their leaders pay more attention to conference issues than to those of national governing bodies like the NCAA.
c. The conference is the locus where a small group of institutions in voluntary association agree to work together, to compete while showing some sign of mutual respect and comparable academic standards.
d. Conferences allow schools with similar concerns to form leagues with rules that operationalize their common philosophy and put their athletes and coaches in social circumstances where they will be dealing with people and similar expectations and constraints.
Answer:
b.
Explanation:
Conferences demand that schools and their leaders pay more attention to conference issues than to those of national governing bodies like the NCAA. Issues need to be chosen by its importance to the vast majority. If the issue that is affecting the vast majority of the population revolves around external factors such as those of a national governing body then those are the issues that the conference should revolve around. The conference needs to adapt to what is most important always.
Round Hammer is comparing two different capital structures: An all-equity plan (Plan I) and a levered plan (Plan II). Under Plan I, the company would have 180,000 shares of stock outstanding. Under Plan II, there would be 130,000 shares of stock outstanding and $1.925 million in debt outstanding. The interest rate on the debt is 8 percent, and there are no taxes. a. If EBIT is $400,000, what is the EPS for each plan
Answer:
Explanation:
Under Plan I, the EPS would be calculated as:
= EBIT / Shares of stock outstanding
= $400,000 / 180,000 shares
EPS = $2.22
Under Plan II, the EPS will be calculated as thus:
We should note that the EBIT in this case will be reduced by interest payment. This will be:
= $400000 - 8% (1.925 million)
= $400000 - 0.08($1,925,000)
= $400,000 - $154000
= $246,000
Then, the EPS for plan II will be calculated as:
EPS = $246,000 / 130,000 shares
EPS = $1.89

Explanation:
Osborn Manufacturing uses a predetermined overhead rate of $ 19.70 per direct labor- hour. This predetermined rate was based on a cost formula that estimates $265,950 of total manufacturing overhead for an estimated activity level of 13,500 direct labor-hours. The company actually incurred $260,000 of manufacturing overhead and 13,000 direct labor-hours during the period.
Required:
1. Determine the amount of underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead for the period.
2. Assume that the company's underapplied or overapplied overhead is closed to Cost of Goods Sold. Would the journal entry to dispose of the underapplied or overhead increase or decrease the company's gross margin? By how much?
Answer:
1. $3,900
2. $3900
Explanation:
Required:
1. Calculation to Determine the amount of underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead for the period.
Applied overhead = 19.70*13,000
Applied overhead = 256,100
manufacturing overhead = 260,000-256,100
manufacturing overhead= underapplied by $3,900
2. Assume that the company's underapplied or overapplied overhead is closed to Cost of Goods Sold. Would the journal entry to dispose of the underapplied or overhead increase or decrease the company's gross margin? By how much
The gross margin would decrease by the amount of $3900
George secured an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) loan to help finance the purchase of his home 5 years ago. The amount of the loan was $350,000 for a term of 30 years, with interest at the rate of 9%/year compounded monthly. Currently, the interest rate for his ARM is 3.5%/year compounded monthly, and George's monthly payments are due to be reset. What will be the new monthly payment
Answer:
$1,680
Explanation:
during the first 5 years, the monthly payment will = $2,816.18
I prepared an amortization schedule. After the 60th payment, the principal owed = $335,580
the new monthly payment considering that the interest rate fell significantly to 3.5% = $1,680
calculation to determine the monthly payment:
present value of the loan = monthly payment x PVIFA
monthly payment = present value / PVIFA
PVIFA, 0.29167%, 300 periods = 199.7501
monthly payment = $335,580 / 199.7501 = $1,680
In each of the following cases, determine how supply or demand shifts and how the equilibrium changes.
a. Smartphones: Microchips used in smartphones become less costly to produce. As a result, the
supply of
supply of and demand for
demand for
smartphones increase(s), causing the equilibrium price to rise, fall, or remain unchanged

b. ALS medical research funds: The ALS ice bucket challenge goes viral, leading to greater awareness of the benefits of and need for ALS research. As a result, the
supply of
supply of and demand for
demand for
ALS research increase(s), causing the equilibrium price (or opportunity cost) of such research to
rise
fall
rise, fall, or remain unchanged
and the equilibrium quantity to
fall
rise, fall, or remain unchanged
rise
Explanation:
A. When microchip used in smartphones become less costly to produce, the supply of smartphones are going to increase, causing a fall in equilibrium price and a rise in equilibrium quantity.
since one of the resources used to make smartphones has become cheaper, more smartphones would be produced, raising its supply, increased supply causes fall in price and rise in equilibrium quantity.
B. since the ALS bucket challenge went viral, supply and demand for research would increase, causing equilibrium price or opportunity cost to either rise or remain unchanged. the equilibrium quantity will then rise, fall or remain unchanged
Consider how health insurance affects the quantity of health care services performed. Suppose that the typical medical procedure has a cost of $100, yet a person with health insurance pays only $20 out of pocket. Her insurance company pays the remaining $80. (The insurance company recoups the $80 through premiums, but the premium a person pays does not depend on how many procedures that person chooses to undergo.) Consider the following demand curve in the market for medical care.
1. Based on the given demand and supply, the given transportation problem is
________?
2. Before finding the initial solution, a dummy_____________ should be introduced.?
3. The total cost of the optimal solution =____________?
Answer:
hello your question has some missing part attached below is the missing demand curve
Answer :
1) the quantity of health procedures Individuals will demand is greater than the optimal quantity ( 20 procedures )
2) quantity of medical procedure
3) $200
Explanation:
1) Based on the given demand and supply, the given transportation problem is the quantity of health procedures Individuals will demand is greater than the optimal quantity ( 20 procedures )
2) A dummy quantity of medical procedure should be introduced
3) Total cost of optimal solution
optimal quantity of medical procedure ( Qd) * price of medical procedure(Qp)
= 20 * 100
= $200
You are given the following information concerning a noncallable, sinking fund debenture: Principal: $1,000 Coupon rate of interest: 7 percent Term to maturity: 15 years Sinking fund: 4 percent of outstanding bonds retired annually; the balance at maturity If you buy the bond today at its face amount and interest rates rise to 13 percent after two years have passed, what is your capital gain or loss
Answer:
Capital loss of $257.38
Explanation:
Use the following formula to calculate the capital gain or (loss).
Capital Gains / (Loss) = Current Price - Purchase price
As two year have been passed and we need to calculate the current price of the debenture using the following formula
Use the following formula to calculate the price of the bond
Price of the bond = [ C x ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n ) / r ] + [ F / ( 1 + r )^n ]
Where
F = Face value = $1,000
C = Periodic coupon payment = 7% x $1,000 = $70
r = Periodic interest rate = 13%
n = Numbers of periods = 15 years - 2years = 13 years
Placing values in the formula
Price of the bond = [ $70 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 13% )^-13 ) / 13% ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 13% )^13 ]
Price of the bond = $538.46 + $204.16 = $742.62
Purchase price = $1,000
Placing values in the capital gain or (loss) formula
Capital Gain / ( Loss ) = $742.62 - $1,000
Capital Gain / ( Loss ) = ($257.38)

2. Management by exception
A. means that only unfavorable differences will be investigated.
B. means that material differences will be investigated.
C. means that all differences will be investigated.
D. causes managers to be buried under voluminous paperwork.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the total manufacturing cost is shown below:
As we know that
Total manufacturing cost is
= Direct raw material used + direct labor cost + manufacturing overhead cost
= ($260,000 + $800,000 - $310,000) + $670,000 + $640,000
= $2,060,000
2. The management of exception means examining the financial and operational business results and considered the issues that faced by the company by having attention on it. ALso it considered teh differences arise from the expected amount
So here means that non-favorable difference would be investigated or material difference would be investigated

Answer:
Corporate governance - The oversight of a public corporation by its board of directors
Corporate Social Responsibility - Businesses living and working together for the common good and valuing human dignity
Ethics - Bullying may not be illegal, but many companies have enacted policies prohibiting such incivility and abusive behavior in the workplace
The International Organization for Standardization - Created a variety of standards that help organizations gain international acceptance of their practices and outcomes.

Corporate Social Responsibility "is a management concept whereby companies integrate social and environmental concerns in their business operations and interactions with their stakeholders"(UNIDO).
Corporate governance "is the system by which companies are directed and controlled. Boards of directors are responsible for the governance of their companies. The shareholders' role in governance is to appoint the directors and the auditors and to satisfy themselves that an appropriate governance structure is in place" (ICAEW).
Ethics basically refer to moral principles. These are principles enacted by companies to minimize unacceptable behavior in the workplace.
The International Organization for Standardization creates a variety of standards that help organizations gain international acceptance of their practices and outcomes.
Velocity, a consulting firm, enters into a contract to help Burger Boy, a fast-food restaurant, design a marketing strategy to compete with Burger King. The contract spans eight months. Burger Boy promises to pay $87,000 at the end of each month. At the end of the contract, Velocity either will give Burger Boy a refund of $29,000 or will be entitled to an additional $29,000 bonus, depending on whether sales at Burger Boy at year-end have increased to a target level. At the inception of the contract, Velocity estimates an 80% chance that it will earn the $29,000 bonus and calculates the contract price based on the expected value of future payments to be received. At the start of the fifth month, circumstances change, and Velocity revises to 60% its estimate of the probability that it will earn the bonus. At the end of the contract, Velocity receives the additional consideration of $29,000.

1) Prepare the journal entry to record revenue each month for the first four months of the contract.
2) Prepare the journal entry that the Velocity Company would record after four months to recognize the change in estimate associated with the reduced likelihood that the bonus will be received.
3) Prepare the journal entry to record the revenue each month for the second four months of the contract.
4) Prepare the journal entry after eight months to record receipt of the cash bonus.
Answer:
Accounts Receivable (Dr.) $87,000
Bonus receivable (Dr.) $29,000
Service Revenue (Cr.) $116,000
Explanation:
Expected Value at contract inception is :
($87,000 * 8 months + $29,000) * 80% = $580,000
($87,000 * 8 months - $29,000) * 20% = $133,400
Total = $713,400
$725,000 / 8 = $89,175
The service revenue is estimated to be 116,000 if there is no probability estimate. When the expected value is incorporated the service revenue will be $89,175.

Given the following demand and supply equations determine the market equilibrium price and quantity. QD=30-3p. As=10-5p. Where Q is quantity and P is price
Answer:
Equilibrium price, p = 2.5
Equilibrium Quantity, Q = 22.5
Explanation:
The equation is:
Qd = 30 - 3p
Qs = 10 + 5p
At equilibrium, Quantity demanded equals quantity supplied
Equate Qd = Qs to find equilibrium price
30 - 3p = 10 + 5p
30 - 10 = 5p + 3p
20 = 8p
p = 20/8
P = 2.5
Substitute equilibrium price into Qd and Qs equation to find equilibrium Quantity
Qd = 30 - 3p
= 30 - 3(2.5)
= 30 - 7.5
= 22.5
Qs = 10 + 5p
= 10 + 5(2.5)
= 10 + 12.5
= 22.5
Therefore,
Equilibrium price, p = 2.5
Equilibrium Quantity, Q = 22.5

We need to place a large order for bulbs for our solar kits. As you know, we import these bulbs from Japan. I have been watching the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Japanese yen very carefully. The current exchange rate is $1 to 106.94 yen. However, sources tell me that the exchange rate is expected to be $1 to 115 yen very soon. Do you want me to place the order now or wait until the exchange rate changes?
Please advise how you want me to proceed.
Select an option from the choices below and click Submit.
A. Wait and place the order when the exchange rate changes.
B. Place the order now
Answer:
B. Place the order now.
Explanation:
Why wait until the exchange rate changes? When is that going to be? The best reaction would be to place the order when it is needed and not to speculate on the exchange rate. Waiting until the exchange rate changes against Japan makes the prices of goods and services cheaper for foreign purchasers. But, the wait could be endless.

Whether to pay a lawmaker for giving a speech at your company is an ethical
dilemma that deals with
O A. lobbying

D. gift giving
Answer: B
Explanation:
what is the most important law after starting a business
Scenario
You are the marketing analyst for Better Beans Coffee Company, which has nine stores nationwide. The company wants to build two additional stores. Your executive team has decided that rather than expand to new markets, they want Better Beans to begin opening additional stores in existing markets. While this will create cannibalization in the short term, it will create marketing and operating efficiencies as more stores are opened in each city.
As a scrappy and growing startup, Better Beans does not yet have access to complex marketing analytics software. Fortunately, you are an expert at gathering market data from inside and outside the company and crunching accurate numbers with nothing more than an Excel spreadsheet.
You have been tasked with calculating the two best markets for opening an additional store. You have already calculated two things that allow you to estimate the net additional revenue in each market ueafter adding a second store:
Revenue for a second store in each market
The revenue lost from estimated cannibalization at the first store.
Important note: Due to the high investments already made in existing stores, management has specified that any market where cannibalization is 25% or more should be eliminated from consideration.
Ignoring cannibalization rates for now, what two markets have the highest net revenue increases when adding a second store?
A. Dallas and Portland
B. Los Angeles and Orlando
C. Chicago and Dallas
D. Orlando and Dallas
E. Los Angeles and Portland
What two markets should be chosen for a second store based on management's criteria that the cannibalization rate for the existing store should be less than 25%? Note: Cannibalization rates and net revenue increase amounts need to be considered when making this determination.
A. Los Angeles and Orlando
B. Atlanta and Houston
C. Atlanta and Portland
D. Los Angeles and Portland
E. Los Angeles and Houston

b) Cannibalization results from the reduction in sales revenue when a company introduces another similar product or store in an existing market. Before making decisions based on cannibalization, management should study the market dynamics and set measurable criteria for making the choice to go for cannibalization or preservation of an existing market. One of the best criteria for deciding on cannibalization is the net revenue from the second product or store after cannibalization.
