To the extent that a firm is able to standardize its products across country borders, use the same or similar production facilities, and coordinate critical resource functions, the more likely it is to achieve optimum economies of scale. Group of answer choices
Answer: True
Explanation:
When a firm is able to use the same or similar processes across different countries to produce goods and services, they will get more adept at using them and will be able to acquire resources at a cheaper rate because they acquire the required resources in huge quantities.
This will lead to optimum economies of scale because costs would be saved from both knowing how to be more efficient across various nations and being able to acquire resources at the lowest prices.
A student is deciding whether to take an additional class or work extra hours. Which amounts are relevant to this decision
Answer:
a. Out-of-pocket costs
c. opportunity costs
Explanation:
Out of pocket costs are those that have to be incurred by the student for having to take the additional classes if there are any. This needs to be considered as they are a cost that the student will need to pay for to take the classes and therefore might need budgeting.
Opportunity costs are the returns offered by the next best alternative to the current decision being taken. In other words, the student needs to consider what will happen if they pick additional class over work and vice versa.

Gary Marks is paid on a monthly basis. For the month of January of the current year, he earned a total of $9,138. FICA tax for Social Security is 6.2% on the first $128,400 of earnings each calendar year and the FICA tax for Medicare is 1.45% of all earnings. The FUTA tax rate is 0.6%, and the SUTA tax rate is 5.4%. Both unemployment taxes are applied to the first $7,000 of an employee's pay. The amount of Federal Income Tax withheld from his earnings was $1,516.27. What is the amount of the employer's payroll taxes expenses for this employee
Answer:
$ 1,119.06
Explanation:
It is given that :
Gary Marks total earning = $ 9,138
The social security tax = 6.2%
The Medicare tax = 1.45%
We known, the FUTA and the SUTA must only be applied to the first $7000 earned from Gary's pay.
So, the employer's payroll taxes expenses = Social security + Medicare + FUTA + SUTA
= ($9,138 x 6.2%) + ($9,138 x 1.45%) + ($7000 x 0.6%) + ($7000 x 5.4%)
= 566.56 + 132.5 + 42 + 378
= $ 1,119.06
Therefore, the amount of the employer's payroll taxes expenses is $1,119.06
Jensen Company purchased a new machine on January 1, 2018, at a cost of $104,000. The company estimated that the machine has a salvage value of $8,000. The machine is expected to be used for 80,000 working hours during its 8-year life.
Compute depreciation using the Double-declining method for 2018:
Straight-line for 2018 and 2019, assuming a December 31 year-end.
unit of activity
depriciation
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $80,000
Salvage value= $8,000
Useful life= 8 years
To calculate the annual depreciation under the double-declining balance method, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]
2018:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(80,000 - 8,000) / 8]
Annual depreciation= $18,000
Now, the straight-line method:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (80,000 - 72,000) / 8
Annual depreciation= $9,000
It remains constant during useful life.
Finally, the units-of-activity method (suppose 15,000 hours):
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in hours]*hours operated
Annual depreciation= [(80,000 - 8,000) / 80,000]*15,000
Annual depreciation= $13,500
Depreciation refers to the reduction in the value of asset over time and such valued reduction are reflected in the Balance sheet at year ended.
Machine usage period is 3 month (1st October 2017 - 31st December 2017)Computing the Straight-line depreciation for 2017 and 2018
Depreciation for 2017 = (Cost - Salvage value) / Useful Life
Depreciation for 2017 = (104,000 - 8,000) /8
Depreciation for 2017 = $96,000 / 8
Depreciation for 2017 = $12,000 per year
For the 3 month, Depreciation for 2017 = $12,000*3/12 = $3,000
Depreciation for 2018 = (Cost - Salvage) / Useful Life
Depreciation for 2018 = ($104,000 - $8,000) /8
Depreciation for 2018= $96,00 ) /8
Depreciation for 2018 = 12000
Computing the Declining-balance using double the straight-line rate for 2017 and 2018
Useful life = 8 Year
Straight line Depreciation % = 1/8
Straight line Depreciation = 0.125
Straight line Depreciation = 12.50%
Depreciation Rate = 2 * 12.50
Depreciation Rate = 25%
Depreciation for Year 2017 = $104,000*25%*3/12
Depreciation Rate = $6,500
Depreciation for Year 2018 = ($104,000 - $6,500)*20%
Depreciation for Year 2018 = $24,375

Most newly industrialized countries (NICs) have moved away from restrictive trade practices and instituted significant free market reforms. As a result, these countries have
Answer:
attracted both trade and foreign direct investment.
Explanation:
The free market reforms that took place in the newly industrialized countries (NICs) as in some Asian and Latin American countries, provided the attraction of foreign direct investment and increased trade.
This was due to the fact that lesser trade restrictions and free market reforms were significant incentives for foreign countries to seek investment opportunities in a country that could offer significant advantages, such as tax incentives, cheaper labor and conquering new markets. It also stimulated commercial activity by local and foreign investors, who saw new opportunities to implement activities locally that would bring competitive and economic advantage.
Two years ago, Kuley invested $20,900. She has earned and will earn compound interest of 7.8 percent per year. In 3 years from today, Nabax can make an investment and earn simple interest of 5.3 percent per year. If Nabax wants to have as much in 7 years from today as Kuley will have in 7 years from today, then how much should Nabax invest in 3 years from today
Answer:
$73306.46
Explanation:
Compound interest = Principal(1+rate/n)^nt
If Kuley invested $20900 and compound interest rate of 7.8% per year for 7 years then,
Compound interest in 7 years =$20900(1+7.8/12)^12×7
=$20900×1.7233= $36016.97
After 3 years, Nabax would have 4 years left to make what kuley made in 7 years
Kuley made compound interest of $36016.97-$20900= $15116.97
Nabax will invest for 4 years at simple interest rate of 5.3%
Simple interest = principal×time×rate/100
We substitute to get his needed amount(principal)
$15116.97=Principal×4×5.3/100
$15116.97= 21.2Principal/100
Cross multiply to make principal subject of the formula:
Principal= 1511697/21.2
Principal = $73306.46
Therefore Nabax needs to invest $73306.46 to get the same amount of return that kuley got in 7 years
Suppose there are three factories in Macroland and the following occurred in 2019: Metal, plastic and a car factory. Metal factory produces $200, plastic factory produces $500, and car factory produces $700, of its respective products. The metal factory sells all of its output to the car factory. The plastic factory sells $80 worth of plastic to the car factory, $20 to the government, and the rest to consumers. The Car factory exports $50 of its cars and sells the rest to consumers.
Required:
What is the GDP of Macroland in 2019?
Answer:
$1120
Explanation:
The computation of the GDP is shown below:
Y = C + I + G + X
Here Y denotes the GDP
C denotes the consumption = $500 - $80 - $20 = $400 and 700 - 50 = $650
I denotes the investment = $
G denotes the government purchase = $20
X denotes the net exports = $50
So,
Y = $400 + $650 + 0 + $20 + $50
= $1120
Assume you deposit $5,000 at the end of each year into an account paying 9.5 percent interest. a. How much money will you have in the account in 19 years
Answer: $242,567.27
Explanation:
The $5,000 is an annuity as it is being paid every year and is a constant amount.
The value in 19 years is the future value of this annuity:
Future value of annuity = Annuity * ( ( 1 + rate) ^ number of years - 1) / rate
= 5,000 * ( ( 1 + 9.5%)¹⁹ - 1) / 9.5%
= $242,567.27

Give an example of a successful or unsuccessful transformational leader. What if anything about the context (e.g., industry, marketplace, competition, time in history, etc.) do you believe assisted or hindered the person in their efforts to be successful
Answer:
Explanation:
One transformational leader that we can talk about was Martin Luther King Jr. who was an Activist and Minister who fought for American Civil Rights in the United States in the early 1950s. MLK jr. was both assisted and hindered by the time in history in which his efforts took place. This is because at the time African American Rights were almost non-existant and the Civil Rights movements were at an all time high. This means that MLK jr. was able to amass many followers as he was fighting to make the world a more equal place for everyone, but at the same time it was a time in history where racism was at an all time high as well. This hindered his efforts greatly and ultimately led to his death in 1968. Regardless, Martin Luther King Jr. made one of the biggest impacts in the Civil Rights movements in history as a transformational leader.
The Fed threw a lot of money at the financial crisis in 2008 to unfreeze credit markets and encourage economic activity.

Brandy’s Restaurant estimates that its total cost of providing Q meals per month is given by TC = 6,000 + 2 Q. If Brandy charges $4 per meal, what is its break-even level of output?
Answer: 3,000 meals
Explanation:
The 6,000 in this total cost formula represents the fixed costs of providing the Q meals per month.
The 2 represents the variable cost.
If a meal is $4, that means that the Contribution margin is:
= 4 - 2
= $2 per meal
The break-even level of output is:
= Fixed cost / Contribution margin per meal
= 6,000 / 2
= 3,000 meals

Allen Green is a single taxpayer with an AGI (and modified AGI) of $214,000, which includes $172,000 of salary, $26,200 of interest income, $10,400 of dividends, and $5,400 of long-term capital gains. What is Allen's net investment income tax liability this year, rounded to the nearest whole dollar amount
Answer:
$532
Explanation:
The income that is considered for NIIT is the (a) lesser of the net investment income or (b) the amount by which MAGI exceeds the applicable threshold.
a. $42,000 ($26,200 interest income + $10,400 dividends + $5,400 Long-term capital gains)
b. $14,000 ($214,000 - $200,000)
Note: MAGI threshold of $200,000 for single taxpayer is applicable before they fall under the NIIT bracket of 3.8% of tax.
Net Investment Income = $14,000
Net investment income tax liability = Net Investment Income * 3.8%
Net investment income tax liability = $14,000 * 3.8%
Net investment income tax liability = $532
So, Allen's net investment income tax liability this year is $532.
