Answer:
True
Explanation:
Multilevel marketing is a strategy that consists of creating a hierarchy of workers for product distribution, being very common companies of beauty products, essential oils, and other products that are easy to sell. The strategy works like this: the distributors buy the products of the companies to sell to the final customer, and thus they receive a percentage for the sale of the products. But there is a criticism about this strategy, which can be a pyramid scheme, when there is a greater intention of the company to recruit new distributors than to actually sell its products, because in a pyramid scheme the intention is always to profit to benefit those who are on the top. Generally, companies that operate in an illegal pyramid scheme have strong marketing aimed at recruiting people to purchase products for sale with promises of quick enrichment.
Because education has spillover benefits, the private market will: a. underallocate resources to education. b. overallocate resources to education. c. produce too much education. d. produce the socially optimum amount of education.
Answer: produce the socially optimum amount of education
Explanation:
Spillover benefits simply refers to the free benefits which are gotten by third parties due to the actions of other people.
In this case, because education has spillover benefits, the private market will produce the socially optimum amount of education. This is the equilibrium achieved based on the spillover effects from the education.
The output level that reflects all the costs and benefits associated with a transaction i.e. it is the equilibrium that would be achieved if the market outcome reflects the effect of externalities.
The Carter Corporation makes products A and B in a joint process from a single input, R. During a typical production run, 50,000 units of R yield 20,000 units of A and 30,000 units of B at the split-off point. Joint production costs total $90,000 per production run. The unit selling price for A is $4.00 and for B is $3.80 at the split-off point. However, B can be processed further at a total cost of $60,000 and then sold for $7.00 per unit. In a decision between selling B at the split-off point or processing B further, which of the following items is not relevant:a. $10,000) per production run b. $96,000 per production run c. ($42,000) per production run d. $36,000 per production run
Answer: $54,000 per production run
Explanation:
As we are dealing with the decision of whether or not to process the good further, the irrelevant cost would be the cost of producing product B from input R.
This is because this cost has already been incurred to produce product B and so is a sunk cost. Sunk costs are irrelevant to the decision to process further.
30,000 units of B were made from 90,000 units R so the cost of B is:
= 30,000 / 50,000 * 90,000
= $54,000

Ivan Knobel holds a well-diversified portfolio that has an expected return of 11.0% and a beta of 1.20. He is in the process of buying 1,000 shares of Syngine Corp at $10 a share and adding it to his portfolio. Syngine has an expected return of 13.0% and a beta of 1.50. The total value of Ivan's current portfolio is $90,000. What will the expected return and beta on the portfolio be after the purchase of the Syngine stock? a. 11.76%; 1.29 b. 10.64%; 1.17 c. 12.97%; 1.42 d. 12.35%; 1.36 e. 11.20%; 1.23
Answer:
e. 11.20%; 1.23
Explanation:
The computation of the expected return and the beta is shown below
For expected return
= ($10,000 ÷ ($10,000 + $90,000) × 13%) + (0.9 × 11%)
= ($10,000 ÷ $100,000 × 13%) + (0.9 × 11%)
= (0.1 × 13%) + (0.9 × 11%)
= 11.20%
And, the beta is
= ($10,000 ÷ 100,000 × 1.50) + ($90,000 ÷ 100,000 × 1.20 )
= 1.23
Suppose that Spain and Switzerland both produce beer and wine. Spain's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 4 brarrels of beer while Switzerland's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 10 barrels of beer.
By comparing the opportunity cost of producing wine in the two countries, you can tell that ____ has a comparative advantage int he production of wine and ___ has a comparative advantage in the production of beer.
Suppose that Spain and Switzerland consider trading wine and beer with each other. Spain can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives mroe that ___ of beer for each bottle of wine it exports to Switzerland. Similarly, Switzerland can gain from trade as long as it receives more than ___ of wine for each barrel of beer it exports to Spain.
Based on your answer to the last question, which of the folloiwing terms of trade ( that is, price of wine in terms of beer) would allow both Switzerland and Spain to gain from trade?
a. 6 barrels of beer per bottle of wine
b. 3 barrels of beer per bottle of wine
c. 9 barrels of beer per bottle of wine
d. 18 barrels of beer per bottle of wine
Answer:
Spain has a comparative advantage in producing wine. While, Switzerland has a comparative advantage in Beer.
Explanation:
Spain's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 4 barrels of beer while Switzerland's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 10 barrels of beer.
Spain has a lower opportunity cost of producing wine. Thus, we can say that Spain has a comparative advantage in producing wine.
Spain's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of beer is 1/4 barrels of wine while Switzerland's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of beer is 1/10 barrels of wine.
Switzerland has a lower opportunity cost of producing beer. Thus, we can say that Switzerland has a comparative advantage in producing beer.
Spain's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 4 barrels of beer. Thus, it can import more than 4 barrels of beer for each bottle of wine it produces and export to Switzerland. Thus, Spain can gain from trade as long as it receives more than 4 barrels of beer for each bottle of wine it exports to Switzerland.
Switzerland's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of beer is 1/10 barrels of wine. Thus, it can import more than 1/10 barrels of wine for each bottle of beer it produces and export to Spain. Thus, Switzerland can gain from trade as long as it receives more than 1/10 barrels of wine for each bottle of beer it exports to Spain.
The price of wine in terms of beer must be between 4 and 10. So it can be
either 6 barrels of beer per bottle of wine or 9 barrels of beer per bottle of wine.
Vince says that the present value of $500 to be received one year from today if the interest rate is 8 percent is more than the present value of $500 to be received two years from today if the interest rate is 4 percent. Terri says that $500 saved for two years at an interest rate of 3 percent has a larger future value than $500 saved for one years at an interest rate of 6 percent. a. Both Vince and Terri are correct. b. Only Vince is correct. c. Only Terri is correct. d. Neither Vince nor Terri is correct.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
To determine if Vince is right, we have to determine the present value of the amounts
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value of $500 to be received one year from today500 / 1.08 = $462.96
Present value of $500 to be received two years from today500 / (1.04^2) = $462.28
$462.96 > $462.28 Vince is right
To determine if Terri is right, we have to determine the future value of the amounts
The formula for calculating future value:
FV = P (1 + r)^n
FV = Future value
P = Present value
R = interest rate
N = number of years
500 x (1.03)^2 = $530.45
500 x (1.06) = $530
$530.45 > $530 Terri is right
they are both correct

A coffee manufacturer is interested in whether the mean daily consumption of regular-coffee drinkers is less than that of decaffeinated-coffee drinkers. A random sample of 50 regular-coffee drinkers showed a mean of 4.35 cups per day. A sample of 40 decaffeinated-coffee drinkers showed a mean of 5.12 cups per day. Assume the population standard deviation for those drinking regular coffee is 1.20 cups per day and 1.36 cups per day for those drinking decaffeinated coffee. Perform an appropriate test at the 1% level of significance. Use the critical value approach.Compute the p-value.
Answer:
The P-Value ≅0 (zero).
Explanation:
From the given data we have
Regular coffee drinkers sample size = n1 = 50
Decaffeinated-coffee drinkers sample size = n2= 40
Regular coffee drinkers sample mean= x1 = 4.35
Decaffeinated-coffee drinkers sample mean = x2= 5.12
Regular coffee drinkers population standard deviation = σ1 = 1.2
Decaffeinated-coffee drinkers population standard deviation = σ2= 1.36
1) Formulate null and alternate hypothesis
H0: u1≥ u2 Ha: u1 < u2
The null hypothesis is that the mean of the regular coffee drinkers is greater or equal to the mean of decaffeinated-coffee drinkers
against the claim
the mean daily consumption of regular-coffee drinkers is less than that of decaffeinated-coffee drinkers.
2) The test statistic is
z= x1-x2/ sqrt( σ1 ²/n1 + σ2²/n2)
Putting the values
z = 4.35- 5.12/ sqrt( 1.44/50 + 1.8496/40)
z= -5.44
3) The significance level is 0.01
The critical region is Z < -2.33
4) Since the calculated value of z= -5.44 is less than the z ∝= -2.33 we reject H0.
5) the P-value can be calculated using the calculator.
The P-Value is < 0.00001.
P= 0
Which means that the claim is accepted that the mean of the regular coffee drinkers is less than the mean of decaffeinated-coffee drinkers.
Grib Corporation uses a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor cost to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs. The predetermined overhead rates for the year are 200% of direct labor cost for Department A and 50% of direct labor cost for Department B. Job 436, started and completed during the year, was charged with the following costs: Department A Department B Direct materials $50,000 $10,000 Direct labor ? $60,000Manufacturing overhead $80,000 ?The total manufacturing cost assigned to Job 436 was:_________A) $360,000B) $390,000C) $270,000D) $480,000
Answer:

Dept B $60,000
Manufacturing Overheads
Dept A $80,000
Dept B ($60,000 x 50%) $30,000
Total $270,000
Therefore,
The total manufacturing cost assigned to Job 436 was $270,000.
Suppose the economy of the large country of Hendrix is currently experiencing economic growth and has a trade deficit. Consider the possible effects of this economic growth on the trade balance and place them in the appropriate category. 1. Likely to occur during economic growth and increase the trade deficit 2. Likely to occur during economic growth and decrease the trade deficit 3. Not likely to occur during economic growth imports increase a. imports decrease b. government borrowing increases c. private savings decrease d. private savings increase e. government borrowing decreases
Answer:
1. Likely to occur during economic growth and increase the trade deficit - imports increase
Economic growth increases the living standard of people because it raises the average income. People often use this income to buy goods from abroad in case demand is not met by domestic firms.
2. Likely to occur during economic growth and decrease the trade deficit - d. private savings increase
Private savings increase during economic growth because people enjoy a higher disposable income. A share of this private savings are invested abroad, where foreigners use this capital to import goods from the original country, decreasing the trade deficit.
3. Not likely to occur during economic growth - c. private savings decrease
Private savings usually increase during times of economic growth for the reasons explained above.
Chris Ellis newsstand, just outside the Smithsonian subway station in Washington, DC, usually sells 120 copies of the Washington Post each day. Chris believes the sale of the Post is normally distributed, with a standard deviation of 15 papers. He pays 60 cents for each paper, which sells for $1.25. The Post gives him a 30-cent credit for each unsold paper. According to this given information optimal stocking out probability is:_______
Answer:
31.58%
Explanation:
We have the following information
Daily number = 120
Standard deviation = 15
Amount paid = 60 cents = 0.60dollars
What he gets for the unsold = 0.30 dollars
Undercoverage = Cu = 1.25-0.60 = 0.65
Over coverage = Co = 0.60 - 0.30 = 0.30
In stock probability = Cu/Cu + Co
= 0.65/0.65+0.30
= 0.65/0.95
= 0.6842
The optimal stocking out probability = 1- 0.6842
= 0.3158
= 31.58%
At Blossom Company, events and transactions during 2020 included the following. The tax rate for all items is 20%. (1) Depreciation for 2018 was found to be understated by $148000. (2) A strike by the employees of a supplier resulted in a loss of $124000. (3) The inventory at December 31, 2018 was overstated by $199000. The effect of these events and transactions on 2020 income from continuing operations net of tax would be
Answer:
$99,200
Explanation:
Calculation to determine The effect of these events and transactions on 2020 income from continuing operations net of tax would be
Using this formula
Effect income from continuing operations net of tax=Strike loss amount-(Strike loss amount*Tax rate )
Let plug in the formula
Effect income from continuing operations net of tax=$124,000 - ($124,000 × .20)
Effect income from continuing operations net of tax=$124,000-$24,800
Effect income from continuing operations net of tax=$99,200
Therefore The effect of these events and transactions on 2020 income from continuing operations net of tax would be $99,200
A monopolistic competitor wishing to maximize profit will select a quantity where marginal cost equals demand. marginal revenue equals marginal cost. marginal cost equals average cost. marginal revenue equals average cost. If a firm is producing a quantity where marginal revenue exceeds marginal costs, the firm should existing levels of production in order to
Answer:
marginal revenue equals marginal cost.expand; increase profitabilityExplanation:
A monopoly would seek to maximize its profit at a point where marginal revenue will equal marginal cost because at this point, resources are being fully and efficiently utilized. If more cost was incurred to produce then marginal cost would exceed marginal revenue and lead to losses.
The same goes for the firm producing at a quantity where marginal revenue is larger than marginal cost. They should expand their production levels so that their marginal cost equals marginal revenue as this will increase profitability.

You are evaluating investments in U.S. equities and Mexican equities. Your stock analysts anticipate that U.S. equities will appreciate 9% over the next year. Mexican equities are expected to rise by 15%. Your foreign exchange analyst expects the exchange rate for Mexican pesos, MP, to change from $0.14286/MP to $0.142015/MP. In U.S. dollar terms, what rate of return do you expect to earn on your Mexican equity investment
Answer:
14.32%
Explanation:
We have the investment sum of 100 dollars
We convert to mexican pesos
100x0.14286
= 700 MP
700 mexican pesos invested on equities gets 25% return
Redeemable amount after a year = 700 x (1+15%)
= 805
After a year money gotten back in dollars
805 x 0.142015
= 114.32 dollars
Net return = 114.32 - 100 = 14.32
Expressed in percent = 14.32%

Suppose the price is $6 per sheet of plywood. Suppose the price falls to $4 per sheet of plywood.How much of the increase in consumer surplus was additional consumer surplus for the people who would have bought plywood at $6 anyway.
Answer:
"$2,500" is the appropriate answer.
Explanation:
The question given seems to be incomplete. Below there is a attachment of full question is provided.
The given values are:
Plywood's price,
= $6 per sheet
Price falls,
= $4
Now,
At price $6, the consumer surplus will be:
= [tex]0.5\times 1000\times (10-6)[/tex]
= [tex]0.5\times 1000\times 4[/tex]
= [tex]2,000[/tex] ($)
When price falls, the consumer surplus will be:
= [tex]0.5\times 1500\times (10-4)[/tex]
= [tex]0.5\times 1500\times 6[/tex]
= [tex]4,500[/tex] ($)
Hence,
The increase in consumer surplus will be:
= [tex]4500-2000[/tex]
= [tex]2,500[/tex] ($)

Koczela Inc. has provided the following data for the month of May: Inventories: Beginning Ending Work in process $ 28,000 $ 23,000 Finished goods $ 57,000 $ 61,000 Additional information: Direct materials $ 68,000 Direct labor cost $ 98,000 Manufacturing overhead cost incurred $ 74,000 Manufacturing overhead cost applied to Work in Process $ 72,000 Any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead is closed out to cost of goods sold. The cost of goods manufactured for May is:
Answer:
COGS= $241,000
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the cost of goods manufactured with allocated overhead:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 28,000 + 68,000 + 98,000 + 72,000 - 23,000
cost of goods manufactured= $243,000
Now, we determine the cost of goods sold:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory
COGS= 57,000 + 243,000 - 61,000
COGS= $239,000
Finally, we close the under/over applied overhead to COGS:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 74,000 - 72,000
Underapplied overhead= $2,000
We need to debit COGS and credit overhead:
COGS 2,000
Manufacturing overhead 2,000
COGS= 239,000 + 2,000
COGS= $241,000

On December 1, 2021, Keenan Company, a U.S. firm, sold merchandise to Velez Company of Canada for 150,000 Canadian dollars (CAD). Collection of the receivable is due on February 1, 2022. Keenan purchased a foreign currency put option with a strike price of $0.97 (U.S.) on December 1, 2021. This foreign currency option is designated as a cash flow hedge. Relevant exchange rates follow:
Date Spot Rate Option Premium
1-Dec-18 $0.97 $0.05
31-Dec-18 $0.95 $0.04
1-Feb-19 $0.94 $0.03
Required:
Compute the fair value of the foreign currency option at February 1.
Answer:
Keenan Company (U.S.) and Velez Company (Canada)
The fair value of the foreign currency option at February 1 = $4,500.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Value of merchandise sold to Velez Company = CAD 150,000
Collection date of the receivable = February 1, 2022
Strike price of foreign currency put option purchased by Keenan = US$0.97
Relevant exchange rates follow:
Date Spot Rate Option Premium
1-Dec-21 $0.97 $0.05
31-Dec-21 $0.95 $0.04
1-Feb-22 $0.94 $0.03
The fair value of the option is based on the the change that has occurred in the Spot Rates from December 1, 2021 to February = $0.03 ($0.97 - $0.94)
Therefore, the fair value = 150,000 * $0.03 = $4,500
A Rhode Island company produces communion wafers for churches around the country and the world. The little company produces a lot of wafers, several hundred million per year. When in production, the process produces wafers at the rate of 48 per second. During this production process the wafers must spend 5 minutes in an oven and then 10 minutes passing through a cooling tunnel.
Required:
How many wafers does the cooling tube hold on average when in production?
Answer: 28,800 wafers
Explanation:
Number of wafers held on average in cooling tube during production:
= Rate of production for one wafer * Time in cooling tube
= 48 seconds * (10 minutes * 60 secs)
= 48 * 600
= 28,800 wafers
