Answer:
a. Output gap for 2017 = –0.66%
b. Output gap for 2018 = 0.27%
c. From 2017 to 2018, the output gap became more positive.
Explanation:
The following are given in the question:
Year Potential GDP Real GDP
2017 $18.17 trillion $18.05 trillion
2018 $18.51 trillion $18.56 trillion
To calculate output gap in percentage form, the following formula is used:
Output gap = ((Real GDP - Potential GDP) / Potential GDP) * 100 ......... (1)
Therefore, we have:
a. Calculate the output gap for 2017. %
Using equation (1), we have:
Output gap for 2017 = ((18.05 - 18.17) / 18.17) * 100 = –0.66%
b. Calculate the output gap for 2018. %
Using equation (1), we have:
Output gap for 2018 = ((18.56 - 18.51) / 18.51) * 100 = 0.27%
c. From 2017 to 2018, the output gap became more .
Since the output gap in 2017 is negative while the output gap in 2018 is positive; this implies that from 2017 to 2018, the output gap became more positive.
Suppose that Federal Reserve policy leads to higher interest rates in the U.S.
If the U.S. is a closed economy in the short run, real GDP will _________ increase stay the same decrease .
If the U.S. is an open economy real GDP will _______ increase stay the same decrease by ________ more than in a closed economy the same amount as in a closed economy less than in a closed economy .
Answer:
If the U.S. is an open economy real GDP will decrease by more than in a closed economy.
Explanation:
Federal fund rate is the rate of depository fund which banks pay overnight. The rise in fed will cause the banks to pay more interest on the mandated reserve. If the interest rates are increased the real GDP will decrease because there will be reduced investments, less spending and consumption which leads to declined net exports. These all factors lead to decline in the Real GDP of U.S.
Kier Company issued $700,000 in bonds on January 1, Year 1. The bonds were issued at face value and carried a 4-year term to maturity. The bonds have a 6.50% stated rate of interest and interest is payable in cash on December 31 each year. Based on this information alone, what are the amounts of interest expense and cash flows from operating activities, respectively, that will be reported in the financial statements for the year ending December 31, Year 1
Answer: Interest expense = $45500
Cash outflow = $45500
Explanation:
Based on the information that were given in the question, the amounts of interest expense and cash flows from operating activities, that will be reported in the financial statements for the year ending December 31, Year 1 will be calculated thus:
Interest expense = $700,000 × 6.50%
= $700,000 × 0.065
= $45500
The interest expense of $45500 will be reported on December 31, Year 1 in the income statement and will also be reported in the cash outflow as well. Therefore,
Interest expense = $45500
Cash outflow = $45500

Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the allocation rates:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Machine setup= 21,600/540= $40 per setup
Machine repair= 1,260/31,500= $0.04 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate costs to Job 971:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Machine setup= 40*30= $1,200
Machine repair= 0.04*15,000= $600

uestion 31 Oriole Company has the following inventory data: July 1 Beginning inventory 114 units at $19 $2166 7 Purchases 399 units at $20 7980 22 Purchases 57 units at $22 1254 $11400 A physical count of merchandise inventory on July 30 reveals that there are 190 units on hand. Using the LIFO inventory method, the amount allocated to cost of goods sold for July is $3686. $3914. $7486. $7714.
Answer:
$7,714
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of good sold under LIFO method is shown below
But before that following calculations need to be done
Goods sold = Beginning inventory + Purchases - Ending inventory
= 114 + (399 + 57) - 190
= 380 units
Now 380 units sold would include 57 units of July 22 purchases and balance i.e. (380-57) 323 units of July 7 purchases
So, cost of goods sold
= (57 × 22) + (323 ×20)
= $7,714

Logan Township acquired its water system from a private company on June 1. No receivables were acquired with the purchase. Therefore, total accounts receivable on June 1 had a zero balance. Logan plans to bill customers in the month following the month of sale, and 70% of the resulting billings will be collected during the billing month. In the next following month, 90% of the remaining balance should be collectable. The remaining uncollectible amounts will relate to citizens who have moved away. Such amounts are never expected to be collected and will be written off.
Water sales during June are estimated at $4,000,000, and expected to increase 30% in July. August sales will be the same as July sales.

Teal Company is constructing a building. Construction began on February 1 and was completed on December 31. Expenditures were $3,420,000 on March 1, $2,280,000 on June 1, and $5,700,000 on December 31. Teal Company borrowed $1,900,000 on March 1 on a 5-year, 10% note to help finance construction of the building. In addition, the company had outstanding all year a 12%, 5-year, $3,800,000 note payable and an 11%, 4-year, $6,650,000 note payable. Compute avoidable interest for Teal Company. Use the weighted-average interest rate for interest capitalization purposes
Answer:
$418,790
Explanation:
Computation for the avoidable interest for Teal Company using the weighted-average interest rate for interest capitalization purposes
First step is to calculate the Expenditure for the year
Expenditure for the year
Mar-01 $3,420,000*10/12=$2,850,000
Jun-01 $2,280,000 *7 12=$1,064,000
Dec-31 $5,700,000*0/ 12=$ -
Total $ 11,400,000 $3,914,000
Second step is to compute the Weighted Average rate of all debt
Weighted Average rate of all debt:-
$3,800,000*12%=$456,000
$6,650,000*11%=$731,500
Total $10,450,000 $1,187,500
Weighted Average rate of all debt=($1,187,500 / $10,450,000)
Weighted Average rate of all debt = 11.36%
Now let compute the avoidable interest
AVOIDABLE INTEREST
$3,914,000
Less:$1,900,000*10%=$190,000
Balance$ 2,014,000*11.36% =$228,790
($3,914,000-$1,900,000=$ 2,014,000)
Avoidable Interest =$418,790
($190,000+$228,790)
Therefore the avoidable interest for Teal Company using the weighted-average interest rate for interest capitalization purposes will be $418,790

Suppose that fixed costs for a firm in the automobile industry (start-up costs of factories, capital equipment, and so on) are $5 billion and that variable costs are equal to $17,000 per finished automobile. Because more firms increase competition in the market, the market price falls as more firms enter an automobile market, or specifically P = 17,000 + (150/n), where n represents the number of firms in a market. Assume that the initial size of the U.S, and the European automobile markets are 300 million and 533 million people, respectively.
a. Calculate the equilibrium number of firms in the U.S. and European automobile markets without trade.
b. What is the equilibrium price of automobiles in the United States and Europe if the automobile industry is closed to foreign trade?
c. Now suppose that the United States decides on free trade in automobiles with Europe. The trade agreement with the Europeans adds 533 million consumers to the automobile market, in addition to the 300 million in the United States. How many automobile firms will there be in the United States and in Europe combined? What will be the new equilibrium price of automobiles?
d. Why are prices in the United States different in (c) than in (b)? Are consumers better off with free trade? In what ways?
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that:
[tex]P =17000+(\dfrac{150}{n})[/tex]
where;
P = the price and;
n is the number of firms.
Now, Recall that:
[tex]AC = \dfrac{F}{Q}+C = \dfrac{F}{\dfrac{S}{n}}+C[/tex] [tex](for \ Q = \dfrac{S}{n})= n \times \dfrac{F}{S} + C[/tex]
where:
AC = average cost
F = fixed cost
Q = output of firm C
C = variable cost (The marginal cost is determined by variable costs and is influenced by fixed costs.)
S = The automobile sector's demand in each nation
But since avg. cost per unit, as well as the price, are just the same;
Then;
AC= P
[tex]17000+(\dfrac{150}{n})= n \times \dfrac{F}{S}+C --- (1)[/tex]
So, S is now worth $300 million in the United States.
Then, we get the value of n for the United States by replacing the values of S, F, and C in equation (1).
By solving:
n = 3
Similarly, S is valued at $53 million in Europe.
We get the estimated value of n for Europe by replacing the necessary values in equation (1).
Thus, by solving:
n = 4
Hence;
In the United States, the equilibrium number of companies is 3.
In Europe, the equilibrium number of firms is 4.
B)
Replacing the values for n in the equation:
[tex]P = 17000 +( \dfrac{150}{n})[/tex] we can determine the value of P in the United State:
[tex]P_{US} = 17000 + ( \dfrac{150}{3})[/tex]
= $17050.
Similarly, replacing the value for n in the equation;
[tex]P = 17000 +( \dfrac{150}{n})[/tex] we can determine the value of P in Europe
i.e.
[tex]P_{E} = 17000 + (\dfrac{150}{4})[/tex]
= $17037.50
C)
S is worth $833 million in the United States and Europe combined.
i.e (300 million + 533 million).
Replacing the values for S, F, and C in equation (1);
By solving;
The estimated value of n for both the United States and Europe is n = 5
However, replacing the value for n in the equation below, we have:
[tex]P = 17000 + ( \dfrac{150}{n})[/tex]
[tex]P = 17000+(\dfrac{150}{5})[/tex]
= $17030
Thus, the new equilibrium price of automobiles = $17030
D) Automobile prices have dropped to $17,030 per vehicle for both countries as a result of free trade. As a result, after the exchange is opened, customers would have to pay a reduced amount for an automobile purchase. Not only that but after the exchange, customers in each country have a wider range of products to choose from.
The amount of brands in the United States has increased from three to five, while in Europe it has increased from four to five. As a result, trade benefits customers in both countries.
Max wanted to open a pizza and sub restaurant. He compared purchasing a well-known franchise to opening his own restaurant as a small business. Which of the following would be a disadvantage to the franchise option? • Max will be able to use the business model provided by the franchise. • Max will have many competitors that offer pizzas and similar Italian fast food. • Max will have to use his savings and borrow some money to start his business. • Max will have to use the franchise's pizza sauce instead of his family recipe
Answer:
Max will have to use his savings and borrow some money to start his business
Explanation:
Max will be able to employ the franchise's offered business plan.A marketing concept that can be used by an organization as a strategy for business expansion is franchising. Hence option B is correct .
What was Franchise ?Where applicable, a franchisor grants a franchisee a license to use all or part of its operational methods, intellectual property, business model, brand, and rights to market and sell its branded goods and services. In exchange, the franchisee agrees to pay certain fees and adhere to specific requirements, usually outlined in a franchise agreement.
The word "franchise" is Anglo-French in origin, deriving from the French verb "francer," which means "to be free." Instead than expanding through acquisition, the franchisor's utilization of a franchise system is an alternate corporate growth approach.
Chains of stores controlled by corporations. For the selling and distribution of goods and services, a franchise system business growth plan reduces the franchisor's capital investment and liability risk.
Particularly in the conventional structure where the franchisee is an individual, franchising is rarely an equal partnership.

(3) Activity-based.
Year 1 depreciation expense = $7,000
Year 1 depreciation expense = $7,600
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Speedy Delivery Company purchases a delivery van for $32,000. Speedy estimates that at the end of its four-year service life, the van will be worth $6,000. During the four-year period, the company expects to drive the van 130,000 miles. Actual miles driven each year were 35,000 miles in year 1 and 38,000 miles in year 2.
Required:
Calculate annual depreciation for the first two years of the van using each of the following methods.
(1) Straight-line.
(2) Double-declining-balance.
(3) Activity-based.
The explanation of the answers is now given as follows:
(1) Straight-line.
Depreciable amount = Cost of the delivery van – Salvage value = $32,000 - $6,000 = $26,000
Annual depreciation rate = 1 / Number of useful years = 1 / 4 = 0.25, or 25%
Year 1 depreciation expense = Depreciable amount * Annual depreciation rate = $26,000 * 25% = $6,500
Year 2 depreciation expense = Depreciable amount * Annual depreciation rate = $26,000 * 25% = $6,500
(2) Double-declining-balance.
Note: The salvage value is taken care of in the computation of the depreciation expense for the last useful year under the double-declining-balance method.
Therefore, we have:
Cost of the delivery van = $32,000
Annual depreciation rate = Straight line annual depreciation rate * 2 = 25% * 2 = 50%
Year 1 depreciation expense = Cost of the delivery van * Annual depreciation rate = $32,000 * 50% = $16,000
Book value at the end of year 1 = Cost of the delivery van - Year 1 depreciation expense = $36,000 - $16,000 = $16,000
Year 2 depreciation expense = Book value at the end of year 1 * Annual depreciation rate = $16,000 * 50% = $8,000
(3) Activity-based.
Depreciable amount = Cost of the delivery van – Salvage value = $32,000 - $6,000 = $26,000
Depreciation rate = Actual miles driven each year / Expected driven miles for four years ……….. (1)
Depreciation expense for each year = Depreciable amount * Depreciation rate …………… (2)
Using equations (2), we have:
Year 1 depreciation expense = $26,000 * (35,000 / 130,000) = $7,000
Year 1 depreciation expense = $26,000 * (38,000 / 130,000) = $7,600

An oligopolistic market structure is distinguished by several characteristics, one of which is difficult entry because barriers are significant. What are some other characteristics of this market structure? Check all that apply. Market control by a few large firms Either homogeneous or differentiated products Interdependence among firms Neither interdependence nor dependence among firms Market control by many small firms
Answer:
Market control by a few large firms Either homogeneous or differentiated products Interdependence among firmsExplanation:
An Oligopolistic market structure is very concentrated which means that it is controlled by a few large firms who can decide to collude to influence market prices.
There is interdependence among the firms as the pricing decision of one firm affects the rest because it could either increase or decrease the market share that each firm enjoys. e.g. if one firm charges a lower price and the other firms don't, the lower price company will gain market share.
The goods sold in this market are either homogeneous or differentiated products which is why there is so much interdependence because products can be substituted.

Universal Foods has a debt-to-value ratio of 36%, its debt is currently selling on a yield of 8%, and its cost of equity is 12%. The corporate tax rate is 40%. The company is now evaluating a new venture into home computer systems. The internal rate of return on this venture is estimated at 13.4%. WACCs of firms in the personal computer industry tend to average around 14%.
a. What is Universal's WACC? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
WACC
b. Will Universal make the correct decision if it discounts cash flows on the proposed venture at the firm's WACC?
A. Yes
B. No
c. Should the new project be pursued?
A. Yes
B. No
Answer:
A. 9.41%
B. No
C. No
Explanation:
a. Calculation to determine Universal's WACC
Using this formula
rEquity = (D / V) × (1 - Tc)rDebt + (E / V) × rEquity
Let plug in the formula
rEquity= 0.36× (1 - 0.40)(0.08) + (1 - 0.36) × 0.12
rEquity=0.36×(0.60)(0.08)+(0.64)×0.12
rEquity=(0.36×0.048)+0.0768
rEquity=0.01728+0.0768
rEquity=0.0941*100
rEquity=9.41%
Therefore Universal's WACC is 9.41%
b. No. Based on the above calculation the Universal would not make the correct decision if it discounts cash flows on the proposed venture at the firm's WACC reason been that it is above the company WACC.
c. No. The new project should not be pursued reason been that the INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN( IRR ) is lower than the required discount rate of 14% and it tend to have a negative NET PRESENT VALUE (NPV).
Anna Conda purchased a new Toyota Tundra pickup truck for $45,000 and financed $41,000 with a 5 year, 3.5% loan. Following the format of the loan disclosure statement, answer the following question. What is the total of all of the loan payments made?
Answer:
Anna Conda
The total of all the loan payments made is
= $48,708.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of the new Toyota Tundra pickup truck = $45,000
Loan to finance the purchase of the truck = $41,000
Period of loan = 5 years
Interest rate on the loan for financing the purchase = 3.5%
Future Value Factor at 3.5% for 5 years from a FV table = 1.188
Future Value of the loan = $41,000 * 1.188 = $48,708
The total interest on the loan = $7,708 ($48,708 - $41,000)
Based on the available data, the total of all of the loan payments made would be:
$48,708.According to the given question, we need to find the total of all the loan payments which have been made by Anna Conda based on her purchase of a new Toyota Tundra and her repayment plan.
As a result of this, we can see that we would use the available data to make the necessary calculations which would be first listed out as:
Price of the truck= $45,000
Loan gotten= $41,000
Time duration of loan= 5 years
Interest rate= 3.5%
Future Value at 3.5% for 5 years would be= 1.19
Therefore, the FV of the loan would be $41,000 x 1.19 = $48,708

The Toronto Maple Company (TMC) produces maple syrup and syrup based products. During the current period, the firm's Production Department started production of 210,000 gallons of syrup. During the period, the firm completed and transferred 205,000 gallons to the Shipping Department. The firm ended the period with 12,500 gallons in ending inventory. All direct materials costs are added at the beginning of the production cycle. Weighted-average costing is used by the company. Part 1 (4 points): What were the equivalent units for conversion costs for the period if the beginning inventory was 75% complete as to conversion costs and the ending inventory was 40% complete as to conversion costs
Answer:
Equivalent units of production= 210,000 units
Explanation:
The weighted average method blends the costs and units of the previous period with the costs and units of the current period.
We need to use the following formula:
Units completed in the period + Equivalent units in ending inventory WIP (units*%completion) = Equivalent units of production
Equivalent units of production= 205,000 + (12,500*0.4)
Equivalent units of production= 210,000 units
Faux Stamp company contemplating the acceptance of a special order has the following cost behavior, based on production of 10,000 units. The company is currently operating at 70% of its manufacturing capacity. A customer wants to purchase 2,000 units at a special unit price of $25. The normal price per unit is $50. Direct materials are $4 per unit, direct labor is $10 per unit, variable overhead is $8 per unit, and fixed overhead is $60,000 total. Perform an incremental analysis to determine the effect on net income if the special order is accepted, and decide whether management should accept the special order. What is the impact on net income if you accept the order?
Answer:
Management should accept the order because it increases net income by $6,000.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Number of units= 2,000
Unit selling price= $25
Direct material= $4
Direct labor= $10
Variable overhead= $8
Because it is a special order and there is unused capacity, we won't take into account the fixed costs.
To calculate the effect on income, we need to use the following formula:
Effect on income= number of units*unitary contribution margin
Effect on income= 2,000*(25 - 4 - 10 - 8)
Effect on income= $6,000 increase
Management should accept the order because it increases net income by $6,000.

2. Technical Differences
Answer:
Cultural and Technical Differences Between Markets
a. Cultural
b. Cultural
c. Cultural
d. Technical
e. Technical
Explanation:
1. Cultural Differences: Cultural differences are the unique beliefs, behaviors, languages, practices, and expressions arising from differences in ethnic, racial, or national origins. For example, if the researcher is not versed in the local language, the research instruments or the researcher's answers will require translation.
2. Technical Differences: These differences arise from educational, legal, scientific, engineering, and business practice differences. For example, the "street signs may be unreadable" because there are no updated maps.

Answer:
A business owner pays for rent and equipment at their office ⇒ FIXED COSTs since the amount of rent paid should be the same year after year
An airline considers the costs of serving food and beverages to its passengers ⇒ VARIABLE COSTS since the cost of serving food will increase as the number of passengers increase, or will decrease if the number of passengers decrease
A company considers the costs it pays to its employees ⇒ VARIABLE COSTS since the number of employee can vary and the number of hours worked can also vary
A clothing manufacturer buys new machines for its factory ⇒ FIXED COSTS since the machines are depreciated at a predetermined rate that doesn't depend on the factory's output
