This involves increasing net profit and as this is done, return on investment is increased and cash flow is also increased.
Throughput can be defined as the rate by which money is being generated by the system through sales.
Inventory is all amount of money that is currently in the system. It is all the amount of money that has been invested in buying things which the system has intentions of selling.
Operational expense is all amount of money that has been spent by the system in trying to turn inventory into throughput.
Compared to traditional definitions they are almost basically with the same meaning.
Explain which of the following items are money in the U.S. economy. Discuss your answers in terms of three functions of money. 1. US $100 2. Euro 3. Mona Lisa painting 4. American Express credit card
Answer:
$100
Mona Lisa painting
Explanation:
To start with, I will list the 3 primary functions of money, which are;
store of value,
unit of account, and
medium of exchange.
Going by the above, I would say that 2 of the 4 options presented before us are money, why so?
A $100 bill is definitely money, no much explanation is needed here, because it's used daily as a means of exchange between people
2. Euro is not a form of money in the US. While it is a form of money in many other places, it's not in the US because it doesn't satisfy the "medium of exchange" criteria of function of money. Euro can not be spent in a store or anywhere in the country, without it having been first exchanged into dollars
3. Mona Lisa painting, part of the functions of money is to store value, and I believe very much, a painting is a good store of money in that regard.
4. American Express credit card is not a form of money because unlike money
being used essentially, to pay for goods and services directly, a credit card is more or less, a store of wealth that is lent by the bank

Stormer Company reports the following amounts on its statement of cash flow: Net cash provided by operating activities was $37,500; net cash used in investing activities was $13,800 and net cash used in financing activities was $17,700. If the beginning cash balance is $6,900, what is the ending cash balance?
a) $75,900.
b) $62,100.
c) $40,500.
d) $6,000.
$12,900.
Answer:
e. $12,900
Explanation:
Given that:
Net Cash provided by operating activities = $37,500
Net Cash used in investing activities = $13,800
Net Cash used in financing activities = $17,700
Beginning cash balance = $6,900
Stormer company's ending balance would be;
= Beginning cash balance + Net cash provided by operating activities - Net cash used in financing activities - Net cash used in investing activities
= $6,900 + $37,500 - $17,700 - $13,800
= $12,900
A car's price is currently $20,000 and is expected to rise by 4% a year. If the interest rate is 6%, how much do you need to put aside today to buy the car one year from now
Answer:
the amount need to put aside is $19,623
Explanation:
The computation of the amount need to put aside is shown below;
= (Current car price × (1 + expected rise percentage)) ÷ (1 + rate of interest)
= ($20,000 × 1.04) ÷ 1.06
= $19,623
hence, the amount need to put aside is $19,623
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

Professional Properties is considering remodeling the office building it leases to Heartland Insurance. The remodeling costs are estimated at $3.4 million. If the building is remodeled, Heartland Insurance has agreed to pay an additional $820,000 a year in rent for the next 5 years. The discount rate is 15 percent. What is the benefit of the remodeling project to Professional Properties? A) -$651,233 B) -$489,072 C) $5,214 D) $128,399 E) $311,417
Answer:
A) -$651,233
Explanation:
The computation of the benefit generated of the remodelling project is shown below:
If we considered the discounted rate i.e. 15% for 5 years of $820,000 so its present value would be $2,748,767 ($820,000 × 3.3521)
And, the predicted cost is $3,400,000
So here the cost is there instead of the benefit of
= $2,748,767 - $3,400,000
= -$651,233
Hence, the correct option is A

acc 340 Checkers uses the periodic inventory system. For the current month, the beginning inventory consisted of 7,200 units that cost $12 each. During the month, the company made two purchases: 3,000 units at $13 each and 12,000 units at $13.50 each. Checkers also sold 12,900 units during the month. Using the LIFO method, what is the ending inventory
Answer:
$113,700
Explanation:
Last in first out (LIFO) is an inventory management method, in which the cost of the most recent product bought are the first to be charged to expenses.
With regards to the above question, we'll have;
Inventory sold = (12,000 × $13.5) + (900 × $13) = $173,700
Ending inventory = [7,200 × $12] + [(3,000 - 900) × $13]
Ending inventory = $86,400 + $27,300
Ending inventory = $113,700
Therefore, the ending inventory using LIFO is $113,700
The internal rate of return method is not subject to the limitations of the net present value method when comparing projects with different amounts invested because:_____.
A. The internal rate of return is expressed as a percent rather than the absolute dollar value of present value.
B. The internal rate of return is expressed as an absolute dollar value rather than the percent of net present value.
C. The internal rate of return reflects the time value of money rather than the absolute dollar value of present value.
D. The internal rate of return is expressed as an absolute dollar value rather than the time value of money used in net present value.
E. The internal rate of return is expressed as a percent rather than the accrual income method used in net present value.
Answer: A. The internal rate of return is expressed as a percent rather than the absolute dollar value of present value.
Explanation:
The internal rate of return is used in calculating the rate of return for the investment of a company. During the calculation, external factors like cost of capital, inflation, risk free rate are all excluded.
The internal rate of return method is not subject to the limitations of the net present value method when comparing projects with different amounts invested because it's expressed as a percent rather than the absolute dollar value of present value..
Macroeconomic is the branch of economics that focuses on ?
Answer:
economic principles affecting entire countries
Explanation:
Suppose the demand function for good X is given by: Q_dx = 15-0 5P_x - 0.8 P y where Q_dx is the quantity demanded of good X, P_x is the price of good X, and P_y is the price of good Y, which is related to good X. a. Using the midpoint method, if the price of good Y is $10 and the price of good X decreases from $5 to $3, what is the price elasticity of demand for good X? Is the demand elastic, unitary elastic, or inelastic? b. Good X and Good Y are related as c. Using the midpoint method, if the price of good X is $10 and the price of good increases from $8 to $10, the cross price elasticity of demand is about
Answer:
a. Price elasticity of demand for good X is -0.80; and the demand is inelastic.
b. Good X and Good Y are related as complements.
c. The cross price elasticity of demand is about -2.57%.
Explanation:
Note: There is an error in the demand function for good X. This is therefore corrected by restating the function as follows:
Q_dx = 15 - 0.5P_x - 0.8 P_y …………………………… (1)
a. Using the midpoint method, if the price of good Y is $10 and the price of good X decreases from $5 to $3, what is the price elasticity of demand for good X? Is the demand elastic, unitary elastic, or inelastic?
From the question and equation (1), we have:
Old price of good X = Old P_x = $5
New price of good X = New P_x = $3
New quantity demanded of good X = New Q_dx = 15 - (0.5 * 3) - (0.8 * 10) = 5.50
Old quantity demanded of good X = New Q_dx = 15 - (0.5 * 5) - (0.8 * 10) = 4.50
Ordinarily, the formula for calculating the price elasticity of demand is as follows:
Price elasticity of demand = Percentage change in quantity demanded of good X / Percentage change in price of good X ................ (1)
Where, based on the midpoint formula, we have:
Percentage change in quantity demanded of good X = {(New quantity demanded of good X - Old
quantity demanded of good X) / [(New quantity demanded of good X + Old quantity demanded of good X) / 2]} * 100 = {(5.50 - 4.50) / [(5.50 + 4.50) / 2]} * 100 = 20%
Percentage change in price = {(New price of good X - Old price of good X) / [(New price of good X + Old Price of good X) / 2]} * 100 = {(3 - 5) / [(3 + 5) / 2]} * 100 = -25%
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Price elasticity of demand for good X = 20% / -25% = -0.80
Therefore, the price elasticity of demand (based on the midpoint formula) when price decreases from $5 to $3 is -0.80.
Since the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand for good X i.e. |-0.80| is less than one, the demand is inelastic.
b. Good X and Good Y are related as
From equation (1) above, the coefficient P_Y is -0.80 which shows that it has a negative sign.
The negative sign indicates Good X and Good Y are related as complements. This implies that as price of Good Y falls, the quantity demand of Good X increases.
c. Using the midpoint method, if the price of good X is $10 and the price of good Y increases from $8 to $10, the cross price elasticity of demand is about
From the question and equation (1), we have:
Old price of good Y = Old P_y = $8
New price of good Y = New P_y = $10
New quantity demanded of good X = New Q_dx = 15 - (0.5 * 10) - (0.8 * 10) = 2
Old quantity demanded of good X = New Q_dx = 15 - (0.5 * 10) - (0.8 * 8) = 3.60
Ordinarily, the formula for calculating the cross price elasticity of demand is as follows:
Cross price elasticity of demand of goods X and Y = Percentage change in quantity demanded of good X / Percentage change in price of good Y ................ (2)
Where, based on the midpoint formula, we have:
Percentage change in quantity demanded of good X = {(New quantity demanded of good X - Old
quantity demanded of good X) / [(New quantity demanded of good X + Old quantity demanded of good X) / 2]} * 100 = {(2 - 3.60) / [(2 + 3.60) / 2]} * 100 = -57.1428571428572
Percentage change in price of good Y = {(New price of good Y - Old price of good Y) / [(New price of good Y + Old Price of good Y) / 2]} * 100 = {(10 - 8) / [(10 + 8) / 2]} * 100 = 22.2222222222222
Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:
Cross price elasticity of demand of good X and Y = -57.1428571428572 / 22.2222222222222 = -2.57142857142857
Rounding to 2 decimal places, we have:
Cross price elasticity of demand of good X and Y = -2.57
Therefore, the cross price elasticity of demand is about -2.57%.
Note: This confirms that the relationship between Good X and Good Y is complement because the cross-price elasticity between them is negative. That is, an increase in the price of Good Y makes consumer to buy less of Good X which is a complement.

Revenues, Expenses, and Cost of Goods Sold are closed to which of the following accounts:_________
A) Income Summary
B) Retained Earnings
C) Other Income
D) Dividends
E) None of the Above
Answer: A) Income Summary
Explanation:
The Income Summary account is used to compile temporary accounts before posting them to capital accounts. Revenues, Expenses and Cost of Goods are temporary accounts which will be compiled in the Income summary account.
The Income summary account has a debit and a credit side with income going on the credit side and expenses going on the debit side. If the credit side is higher than the debit side then profits have been made. The reverse is true.
An entrepreneur founded his company using $200,000 of his own money, issuing himself 200,000 shares of stock. An angel investor bought an additional 100,000 shares for $200,000. The entrepreneur now sells another 400,000 shares of stock to a venture capitalist for $1 million. What is the post-money valuation of the company?
Answer:
the post money valuation of the company is $1,750,000
Explanation:
The computation of the post money valuation is shown below:
Given that
Value of 400,000 shares is $1 million.
So,
The Value of 1 share is
= $1 million ÷ 400,000
= $2.5
And,
Total number of shares is
= 400,000 + 200,000 + 100,000
= 700,000
Now
Total value of shares is
= $2.5 × 700,000
= $1,750,000
hence, the post money valuation of the company is $1,750,000

When dealing with tangible products, consistency is usually measured in terms of:_____.
A. Features.
B. Attributes.
C. Systems.
D. Defects.
Answer:
D. Defects
Explanation:
In order to meet the unending needs and wants of consumers, to satisfactorily provide products that meets their requirements, tastes or preferences various manufacturing companies use five (5) main methods of production, and these are; labour-intensive production, mass production, batch production, capital-intensive production and job production.
Generally in Economics, the question of how goods are produced, determines how resources are combined in the production of goods.
This ultimately implies that, before a manufacturer produce its goods it determines the amount of resources that are available. These resources that are to be combined for the purpose of production of goods are entrepreneur, land, labor, and capital, which are generally referred to as the four (4) factors of production.
A tangible product refers to any product that can be physically touched by the end users or consumers such as electronic gadgets, bread, furniture, cooking utensils, etc.
When dealing with tangible products, consistency is usually measured in terms of defects. Any goods (products) manufactured by a company that is consistently devoid of defects such as broken parts or missing parts is generally considered to be of high quality and as such consumers would feel safe to use or buy such tangible products at all times.

Allison Corp. has just issued nonconvertible preferred stock (cumulative) with a par value of $20 and an annual dividend rate of 4.25%. The preferred stock is currently selling for $18.75 per share. What is the annual yield or return (r) on this preferred stock
Answer:
4.5%
Explanation:
Calculation for the annual yield or return (r) on this preferred stock
Using this formula
PVper = PMT / r
Where,
PVper =$18.75
PMT =(4.25%*$20)=0.85
Let plug in the formula
$18.75 = 0.85 / r
r = 0.045*100
r= 4.5%
Therefore the annual yield or return (r) on this preferred stock will be 4.5%
If a portfolio of the two assets has an expected return of 7 percent, what is its beta? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 3 decimal places, e.g., 32.161.)
Answer:
the beta of the portfolio is 0.562
Explanation:
The computation of the beta is shown below:
As we know that
Expected return of portfolio = return of stock × weightage of stock + return of risk free asset × weightage of risk free asset
7% = 11% × weightage of stock + 2.4% × (1 - weightage of stock)
weightage of stock = 0.535
Now Beta of portfolio is
= 1.05 × 0.535
= 0.562
hence, the beta of the portfolio is 0.562
Menard quit his high school teaching job, which paid $60,000 per year, to start a business that prepares students for the SAT exam. His first year in business generated the following revenues and costs: Menard's economic cost of SAT preparation is $____. 20,000 15,000 105,000 100,000
Answer: $105,000
Explanation:
Maynard's economic cost is the sum of both his implicit and explicit costs.
Explicit costs are the normal accounting costs of running a business which in this case are supplies and employee salaries.
Implicit costs are the opportunity costs which means that this is the benefit foregone from another alternative for the current decision one has made. In this case that would be the $60,000 Menard could have been making from his high school teaching job had he not quit to prepare students for the SATs.
Economic costs;
= Explicit + Implicit costs
= 30,000 + 15,000 + 60,000
= $105,000
Many firms offer substantial rebates by mail or coupons for discounts at the point of sale. The people who use the rebates or coupons have ______ than the people who don't use them.
a. greater price sensitivity.
b. less price sensitivity.
c. inverted price sensitivity.
d. the same price sensitivity.
Answer:
a. greater price sensitivity.
Explanation:
Price sensitivity can be defined as a measure of the degree to which the selling price of a product affects the purchasing behavior of a customer.
This ultimately implies that, a price sensitive customer is impacted negatively by the price of a product and as such would be stuck between making the decision of whether to buy or not buy the product.
Hence, when customers are paying the bill themselves, they are likely to be more price sensitive because they are solely responsible for the payment. Therefore, it's an innate nature of human to be less sensitive to the price of goods and services when it's another person paying for them or say when sharing the cost.
In this scenario, many firms offer substantial rebates by mail or coupons for discounts at the point of sale. Thus, the people who use the rebates or coupons have greater price sensitivity than the people who don't use them.
