So here the investment should be make as the net present value comes in positive
Because there isn't one single measure of inflation, the government and researchers use a variety of methods to get the most balanced picture of how prices fluctuate in the economy. Two of the most commonly used price indexes are the consumer price index (CPI) and the GDP deflator.
The CPI for this year is calculated by dividing thecost of a given market basket of goods and services using this year’s prices by thevalue of all goods and services produced in the economy this year using the base year’s prices and multiplying by 100. However, the GDP deflator reflects only the prices of all goods and services produced domestically. Indicate whether each scenario will affect the GDP deflator or the CPI for the United States. Check all that apply.
a. A decrease in the price of a Waterman Industries deep-water reel, which is a commercial fishing product used for deep-sea fishing
b. An increase in the price of a Japanese-made television that is popular among U.S. consumers
Answer:
GDP deflator
CPI
Explanation:
The consumer price index measures the changes in price of a basket of good. It is used to measure inflation. Basket of goods includes goods produced within the country and outside the country.
CPI = (cost of basket of goods in current period / cost of basket of goods in base period) x 100
An increase in the price of a Japanese-made television that is popular among U.S. consumers will increase CPI
GDP deflator = (nominal GDP / real GDP) x 100
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
Nominal GDP is GDP calculated using current year prices while Real GDP is GDP calculated using base year prices. Real GDP has been adjusted for inflation.
A decrease in the price of a Waterman Industries deep-water reel, which is a commercial fishing product used for deep-sea fishing will decrease GDP deflator

Frank Corporation manufactures a single product that has a selling price of $25.00 per unit. Fixed expenses total $64,000 per year, and the company must sell 8,000 units to break even. If the company has a target profit of $19,000, sales in units must be:________.a. 9,648b. 8,760c. 10,375d. 10,560
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 10,375
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $25
Fixed cost= $64,000
Break-even point in units= 8,000
First, we need to determine the unitary contribution margin:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
8,000 = 64,000 / contribution margin per unit
contribution margin per unit8,000= 64,000
contribution margin per unit= 64,000 / 8,000
contribution margin per unit= $8
Now, the number of units to be sold to make a profit of $19,000:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (64,000 + 19,000) / 8
Break-even point in units= 10,375

Kurt has 25/50/25 auto insurance coverage. One evening he lost control of his vehicle, hitting a parked car and damaging a storefront along the street. Damage to the parked car was $9,000, and damage to the store was $20,300.
Required:
a. What amount will the insurance company pay for the damages?
b. What amount will Kurt have to pay?
Answer:
A. $25,000
B. $4,300
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine What amount will the insurance company pay for the damages
Using this formula
Insurance payment=(Claim amount, Policy limit)
Let plug in the formula
Insurance payment= $25,000
Therefore the amount that the insurance company will pay for the damages is $25,000
B. Calculation to determine What amount will Kurt have to pay
Using this formula
Personal liability=Claim amount - Insurance payment
Let plug in the formula
Personal liability=($9,000 + $20,300) - $25,000
Personal liability=$29,300-$25,000
Personal liability=$4,300
Therefore Kurt have to pay $4,300

Most labor economists believe that the supply of labor is a. less elastic than the demand, and, therefore, firms bear most of the burden of the payroll tax. b. more elastic than the demand, and, therefore, firms bear most of the burden of the payroll tax. c. more elastic than the demand, and, therefore, workers bear most of the burden of the payroll tax. d. less elastic than the demand, and, therefore, workers bear most of the burden of the payroll tax.
Answer:
d
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.
Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases
Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.
The supply of labour usually exceeds the demand for labour. So, the supply of labour is less elastic. as a result workers bear the burden of tax
Economists in general believe that supply of labor is a. less elastic than the demand, and, therefore, firms bear most of the burden of the payroll tax.
Why is the supply of labor less elastic?Even when employees change the amount they pay people, there will still be others who don't mind working at the new rate.
Supply of labor therefore doesn't change much when rates are changed. This allows employers to pass on payroll tax easily to workers.
In conclusion, option A is correct.

The products are evolving and getting more features into it. They needs to marketed differently in order to make the customers aware of the new features, add-ons. In this case, it is better to reposition the products.
If the potential customers belong to the same segment, display comparable characteristics, and choose the same product qualities consistent with their segment, then which condition for the ideal market segment approach should be used
Answer: internally homogenous
Explanation:
Since the potential customers belong to the same segment, display comparable characteristics, and choose the same product qualities that are consistent with their segment, then the condition for the ideal market segment approach which should be used is the internally homogeneous.
On the other hand, if the potential customers are in different segments, have different characteristics, and choose different product qualities, then the externally homogeneous will be ideal.

Lieutenant Commander Data is planning to make his monthly (every 30 days) trek to Gamma Hydra City to pick up a supply of isolinear chips. The trip will take Data about three days. Before he leaves, he calls in the order to the GHC Supply Store. He uses chips at an average rate of seven per day (seven days per week) with a standard deviation of demand of two per day. He needs a 98 percent service probability.
Required:
If he currently has 35 chips in inventory, how many should he order? What is the most he will ever have to order?
Answer:
219.57 units
Explanation:
Given :
Daily demand, d = 7 per day
Standard deviation, = 2 per day
Service probability = 98%
Total number of days per week = 7
Lead time , L = 3 days
On hand inventory, I = 35
Now calculating the optimal order quantity by using the given formula,
[tex]$q=d(T+L)+ z \ \sigma_{r+L}-I$[/tex] .............(i)
First, we will find out the value of [tex]$\sigma_{r+L}$[/tex] and z.
Therefore,
[tex]$\sigma_{r+L}=\sqrt{(30+3)(2)^2}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\sqrt{132}$[/tex]
= 11.48
Now the value of z can be found out from the z-table,
Z value for 98% service level = 2.054
Now putting the value of [tex]$\sigma_{r+L}$[/tex] and z in equation (i), we get,
[tex]$q=d(T+L)+ z \ \sigma_{r+L}-I$[/tex]
= (7)(30+3)+(2.054)(11.48) - 35
= 231 + 23.57 - 35
= 219.57 units
So the optimal number of the units required to be order = 219.57 units

Compute the projected selling expense to be reported on the selling expense budget for the manager for month ended June 30.
a) $8,600.
b) $11,652.
c) $8,652.
d) $5,768.
e) $8,768.
Answer:
Total selling expense= $8,768
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $700
Sales for June in units= 400*1.03= 412
Fixed selling expense= $3,000
Sales commission= 2%
We need to calculate the total commission sales:
Total sales revenue= 700*412= $288,400
Total commission= 0.02*288,400
Total commission= 5,768
Now, the total selling expense:
Total selling expense= 5,768 + 3,000
Total selling expense= $8,768
While under contract to play professional basketball for the Philadelphia 76ers, Billy Cunningham, an outstanding player, negotiated a three-year contract with the Carolina Cougars, another professional basketball team. The contract with the Cougars was to begin at the expiration of the contract with the 76ers. In addition to a signing bonus of $125,000, Cunningham was to receive under the new contract a salary of $100,000 for the first year, $110,000 for the second, and $120,000 for the third. The contract also stated that Cunningham "had special, exceptional and unique knowledge, skill and ability as a basketball player" and that Cunningham therefore agreed the Cougars could enjoin him from playing basketball for any other team for the term of the contract. In addition, the contract contained a clause prohibiting its assignment to another club without Cunningham’s consent. In 1971, the ownership of the Cougars changed, and Cunningham’s contract was assigned to Munchak Corporation, the new owners, without his consent. When Cunningham refused to play for the Cougars, Munchak Corporation sought to enjoin his playing for any other team. Cunningham asserts that his contract was not assignable. Was the contract assignable? Explain.
Answer:
Billy Cunningham and the Cougars
The contract was not assignable to another club.
But, the contract (assets and liabilities) can be inherited by a successor entity using the same club, the Cougars.
Explanation:
The contract was not assigned to another club, despite the change of ownership of the Cougars. Interestingly, the contract between Cunningham and Carolina Cougars was inheritable with the change of ownership of the Cougar Club from the formers owners, Carolina Cougars, to the new owners, Munchak Corporation. The clause prohibiting the contract's assignment to another club without Cunningham's consent was not violated.

Suppose Masahiro wants to replace an existing printer with a new high-speed copier. The existing printer was purchased ten years ago at a cost of $15,000. The printer is being depreciated using straight-line basis assuming a useful life of 15 years and no salvage value (i.e., its annual depreciation is $1,000). If the existing printer is not replaced, it will have zero market value at the end of its useful life. The new high-speed copier can be purchased for $24,000 (including freight and installation). Over its 5-year life, it will reduce labor and raw materials usage sufficiently to cut
annual operating costs from $14,000 to $8,000. It is estimated that the new copier can be sold for $4,000 at the end of five years; this is its estimated salvage value. The old printer’s current market value is $2,000, which is below its $5,000 book value. If the new copier is acquired, the old printer will be sold to another company. The company’s marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 40%, and the replacement copier is of slightly below average risk. Net working capital requirements will also increase by $3,000 at the time of replacement. By an IRS ruling, the new copier falls into the 3-year MACRS class. The project’s cost of capital is set at 10.5%.Under the MACRS system, the pre-tax depreciation for the equipment is:
Year 1 = $7,900; Year 2 = $12,800; Year 3 = $6,600; Year 4 = $1,680; Year 5 = $0
Compute the initial investment outlay, operating cash flow over the project’s life, and the terminal-year cash flows for Masahiro’s replacement project. Then determine whether the project should be accepted using NPV analysis

A stock has a market price of $25 and a standard deviation of returns of 24 percent. The $25 call option matures in 4 months and the risk-free rate is 2.89 percent. N(d1) is .555198 and N(d2) is .500096. What is the value of the call option per share of stock
Answer:
$334.38
Explanation:
Use the following formula to calculate the value of call option
Value of call option = ( N ( [tex]d_{1}[/tex] ) S ) - N ( [tex]d_{2}[/tex] ) K [tex]e^{rt}[/tex]
Where
S = $25
N(d1) = 0.555198
N(d2) = 0.500096
K = 25
r = 2.89%
t = 4/12 = 0.3333
Placing values in the formula
Value of call option = ((0.555198 x $25 ) x $25) - ( 0.500096 x $25 ) x 1.00967891
Value of call option = $346.99875 - $12.62340
Value of call option = $334.37535
Value of call option = $334.38

Sahar starts with $114 and then pays $46 for a new my Phone. For an additional $21 she can fully insure her phone against all damage. Sahar figures that there is a 25% chance she will completely ruin her phone by dropping it, after which she would definitely pay the $60 to replace it. Her utility is given by u(c)=ln c, where c includes the total value of her cash and of her phone. What is Sahar's expected utility if she buys the insurance? Please round your answer to the two digit to the right of decimal point.
Answer:
4.53 dollars
Explanation:
beginning amount = 114 dollars
. purchase amount = 46 dollars. the question says the phone can be fully insured against theft with 21 dollars.
114 - 21 = 93
from the question we have been told that Sahar's utility function is given by
u(c) = lnc
we take the natural logarithm of 93
u(c) = ln93
u(C) = 4.53 dollars
so Sahars expected utility if she buys the insurance is 4.53 dollars
One of these demand and supply diagrams holds within it the concept of economic efficiency for laptop computers. The shaded triangular shape represents consumer surplus, which demonstrates that the equilibrium price in the market was less than what many of the consumers were willing to pay. The equilibrium price for laptop computers is $800 and the equilibrium quantity is 700 laptops.
Required:
Draw the shaded triangular area that represents the area of consumer surplus of laptop computers.
Answer:
The shaded triangular area in the attached photo represents the area of consumer surplus of laptop computers.
Explanation:
Note: See the attached photo for the shaded triangular area that represents the area of consumer surplus of laptop computers.
Consumer surplus on a supply and demand chart represents the area that is bound by the y-axis or price-axis on the left, the demand curve on the right, and a horizontal line where y or price equals the current market price (in this, $800).
Therefore, the shaded triangular area in the attached photo represents the area of consumer surplus of laptop computers.

Guardian Inc. is trying to develop an asset-financing plan. The firm has $430,000 in temporary current assets and $330,000 in permanent current assets. Guardian also has $530,000 in fixed assets. Assume a tax rate of 30 percent. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)
a. Construct two alternative financing plans for Guardian. One of the plans should be conservative, with 90 percent of assets financed by long-term sources, and the other should be aggressive, with only 56.25 percent of assets financed by long-term sources. The current interest rate is 12 percent on long-term funds and 5 percent on short-term financing. Compute the annual interest payments under each plan.
