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 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
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.

Explanation:
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
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.
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
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.

Explanation:
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.

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.

You are the manager of two plants (factories) in Mexico that manufacture shoes. The combined monthly output of both plants is to be 10,000 pairs of shoes. How you would best divide this output of 10,000 pairs of shoes between the two plants. You may make your arguments in words with the aid of diagrams, i.e., without the use of math. On the other hand, if you are comfortable with math (calculus), the following additional information may be made use of by you. The cost function of Plant 1 is C1 = a1Q1 + a2Q12 + Q13and that of Plant 2 is C2 = b1Q2 + b2Q22 + Q23, where Q1 and Q2 denote, respectively, the outputs of Plant 1 and Plant 2.
Answer:
Explanation:
The purpose of allocating the output of the shoes is to diminish the total cost of production. The process is achieved by assigning a pair of shoes that requires production at the factory with a marginal lower cost of the two plants. Afterward, the firms will have to equate the marginal cost of production across the two firms.
For firm 1:
The cost of production [tex]c_1 = a_1Q_1 ^2 +a_2Q_1^2+Q_1^3[/tex]
Differentiating with respect to [tex]Q_1[/tex] to determine the marginal cost;
For firm 1, the Marginal cost [tex]MC_1 = a_1 +2a_2Q_1+3Q_1^2[/tex]
For firm 2; the marginal cost [tex]MC_2 = b_1 +2b_2Q_2+3Q_2^2[/tex]
Equating both from above:
[tex]a_1 +2a_2Q_1+3Q_1^2 = b_1 +2b_2Q_2+3Q_2^2[/tex]
Recall that:
[tex]Q_1 = 10000 - Q_2[/tex]
Thus, we can replace the value of [tex]Q_1[/tex] into the above equation to determine the value of [tex]Q_2[/tex] in terms of [tex]a_1, a_2, b_1, b_2[/tex] by applying a quadratic formula.
Assuming we knew the values of [tex]a_1, a_2, b_1, b_2,[/tex] we can estimate the numerical value of [tex]Q_2[/tex], then replace it into the equation [tex]Q_1 = 10000 – Q_2[/tex] to find the numerical value for [tex]Q_1[/tex].
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.
Required:
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.
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

300,000
160,000
Finished goods inventory
190,000
150,000
During 2020, $800,000 of raw materials were purchased, direct labor costs amounted to $670,000, and manufacturing overhead incurred was $640,000.
Dolan Company's total manufacturing costs incurred in 2020 amounted to
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 and Explanation:
The matching is as follows:
1. Deferred revenue - the cash would be received in the present period and the same would be reported as a revenue for the future period
2. Accrued expense - It would be recorded as an expense for a present period but the cash would be paid in the future
3. Prepaid expense - The cash is paid or the obligation is to the pay the cash in the present period but the expense would be recorded in the future period
4. Accrued revenue - the revenue is recorded in the present period but the cash would be collected in a future period
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
