Answer:
1.38; Elastic
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the Elasticity of labor supply (E)
Using this formula
Elasticity of labor supply (E) = (Change in hours worked / Average hours worked) / (Change in wage rate / Average wage rate)
Let plug in the formula
Elasticity of labor supply (E) = [(10 - 7) / (10 + 7)] / [$(65 - 50) / $(65 + 50)]
Elasticity of labor supply (E) = (3/ 17) / (15 / 117)
Elasticity of labor supply (E) =0.1765/0.1282
Elasticity of labor supply (E)=1.38
Therefore elasticity of Jakeâs labor supply between the wages of $50 and $65 per hour is approximately 1.38 which means that Jakeâs supply of labor over this wage range is ELASTIC
any traditional costing systems: Multiple Choice write off manufacturing overhead as an expense of the current period. combine widely varying elements of overhead into a single cost pool. produce results far superior to those achieved with activity-based costing. use a host of different cost drivers (e.g., number of production setups, inspection hours, orders processed) to improve the accuracy of product costing. trace manufacturing overhead to individual activities and require the development of numerous activity-costing rates.
Answer:
combine widely varying elements of overhead into a single cost pool
Explanation:
A Traditional cost system is the system where the overhead cost are allocated that depend upon the cost driver volume. It determined the overhead cost per unit by measuring the total overhead cost i.e. incurred and this is be divided by the number of units produced
So as per the given options, the above option should be considered
You buy a lottery ticket to a lottery that costs $10 per ticket. There are only 100 tickets available to be sold in this lottery. In this lottery there are one $455 prize, two $75 prizes, and four $20 prizes. Find your expected gain or loss. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Answer: Expected loss of $2.45
Explanation:
The expected gain is a weighted probability of the expected outcomes and their individual probabilities.
There is one $455 prize out of 100 tickets so the probability is: 1/100 = 0.01
There are two $75 prizes so the probability is: 2/100 = 0.02
There are four $20 prizes so the probability is: 4/100 = 0.04
There is a chance that you will lose the $10 and that probability is the :
= 1 - 0.01 - 0.02 - 0.04
= 0.93
Expected gain (loss) = (0.01 * 455) + (0.02 * 75) + (0.04 * 20) + (0.93 * -10)
= ($2.45)
A company is considering investing in a new machine that requires a cash payment of $38,198 today. The machine will generate annual cash flows of $15,904 for the next three years. What is the internal rate of return if the company buys this machine?
Answer:
Internal rate of return = 12%
Explanation:
Below is the calculation of internal rate of return:
The new machine requires cash payment = $38198
Annual cash flows = $15904
Time period = 3 years
First divide the cash payment with the annual cash flow and then look at the factor table to find the interest rate at 3rd year.
Factor = 38198 / 15904 = 2.40
Now look the value 2.40 in the table:
Thus Internal rate of return = 12%

Setting a passing score for whites at 80 out of 100 and a passing score of 60 out of 100 for minority applicants in an admission test is an example of race norming.
A. True
B. False
Answer: True
Explanation:
Race norming simply refers to the practice whereby two different cut off test scores are set for employment which is based on race. Race-norming, is also referred to as the within-group score conversion and it has to do with the adjustment of test scores in order to account for the ethnicity of the test-taker.
Since a passing score for whites was set at 80 out of 100 while a passing score of 60 out of 100 was set for the minority applicants, then it's an example of race norming.

Debbie promises to sell Brian a one of a kind baseball card for $1,000. Brian says that he does not have the money right now, but will have at it his next paycheck. Debbie gives Brian a signed written notice that the offer will stay open for two months. Does it the analysis change if Debbie is a merchant seller for this to be a firm offer under the UCC?
a. Yes, such offers are not reasonable.
b. Yes, such offers are voidable.
c. Yes, such offers are void.
d. Yes, the offeror must be a merchant, pursuant to the UCC definition of merchant.
e. Yes, such offers are only valid until the sun sets.
Answer:
d. Yes, the offeror must be a merchant, pursuant to the UCC definition of merchant.
Explanation:
The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) establishes that firm offers can only be made by merchants. They also apply only to the sale of goods, but the baseball card is a type of good.
The problem is that Debbie is not probably a merchant. In order for her to be considered a merchant, she would need to be in the business of buying and selling baseball cards on a regular basis.
Due to erratic sales of its sole product—a high-capacity battery for laptop computers—PEM, Inc., has been experiencing financial difficulty for some time. The company’s contribution format income statement for the most recent month is given below: Sales (12,800 units × $20 per unit) $ 256,000 Variable expenses 153,600 Contribution margin 102,400 Fixed expenses 114,400 Net operating loss $ (12,000 ) Required: 1. Compute the company’s CM ratio and its break-even point in unit sales and dollar sales. 2. The president believes that a $6,700 increase in the monthly advertising budget, combined with an intensified effort by the sales staff, will result in an $84,000 increase in monthly sales. If the president is right, what will be the increase (decrease) in the company’s monthly net operating income?
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales (12,800 units × $20 per unit) $256,000
Variable expenses 153,600 (12)
Contribution margin 102,400
Fixed expenses 114,400 Net operating loss $ (12,000 )
First, we need to calculate the contribution margin ratio and the break-even point in units and dollars:
Contribution margin ratio= unitary CM / Selling price
Contribution margin ratio= total CM / Sales
Contribution margin ratio= 102,400 / 256,000
Contribution margin ratio= 0.4
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 114,400 / (20 - 12)
Break-even point in units= 14,300
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 114,400 / 0.4
Break-even point (dollars)= $286,000
Now, we need to calculate the effect on the income of increasing the advertising budget:
Effect on income= increase in contribution margin - increase in fixed costs
Effect on income= 84,000*0.4 - 6,700
Effect on income= $26,900 increase

An automatic stabilizer:________
a) increases inflationary pressure during expansions.
b) increases the drop in disposable income during recessions and increases the jump in disposable income during expansions.
c) increases tax revenue relative to government spending throughout the business cycle.
d) decreases tax revenue relative to government spending throughout the business cycle.
e) reduces the drop in disposable income during recessions and reduces the jump in disposable income during expansions.
Answer:
E
Explanation:
Automatic stabilizers are stabilizers that adjust the economy automatically without the intervention of external agents . examples include progressive tax and transfer payments
In an expansion, progressive tax increases the tax paid and this reduces disposable income
In a contraction, tax paid is reduced and this increases disposable income
Automatic stabilizers contrasts with discretionary fiscal policies.
Discretionary fiscal policies are deliberate steps taken by the government to stimulate the economy in order to cause the economy to move to full employment and price stability more quickly than it might otherwise.
Discretionary fiscal policies can either be expansionary or contractionary
Expansionary fiscal policy is when the government increases the money supply in the economy either by increasing spending or cutting taxes.
Contractionary fiscal policies is when the government reduces the money supply in the economy either by reducing spending or increasing taxes
A 5-year treasury bond with a coupon rate of 8% (paid semiannually) has a face value of $1,000. What is the semiannual coupon payment
Answer:
$40
Explanation:
Coupon payment = Face value * Coupon rate * 1/2
Coupon payment = $1,000 * 8% * 1/2
Coupon payment = $1,000 * 0.08 * 1/2
Coupon payment = $40
So, the semiannual coupon payment is $40.

Consider two college roommates, one who smokes and one who does not. The smoker wishes to smoke in the room, and the nonsmoker dislikes smoking in the room. Suppose the smoker would be willing to pay $500 to be allowed to smoke in the room during the semester, and the nonsmoker would be willing to pay $600 to keep the room smoke-free. What should happen in the socially optimal outcome
Answer:
The socially optimal outcome is that there will be no smoking in the room.
Explanation:
The above answer is based on the willingness of the nonsmoker to ensure that no smoking happens in the room. For instance, the nonsmoker can pay off the smoker, paying $600 to dissuade him from smoking in the room. On the contrary, the smoker is only willing to cough out $500, which is less than $600, in order to smoke in the room. Under social optimality, the nonsmoker wins this game.
Suppose we have the following information concerning the printed magazine and digital magazine subscription markets:
Printed Magazine Subscription Price0=$20 Digital Magazine Subscription Quantity0=216 Printed Magazine Subscription
Price1=$13.40 Digital Magazine Subscription Quantity1=208 Question:
What is the cross-price elasticity of demand between printed and digital magazine subscriptions?
Answer:
Cross-price elasticity of demand between printed and digital magazine subscriptions is 8.91.
Explanation:
Percentage change in price of Printed Magazine Subscription = ((Printed Magazine Subscription Price1 - Printed Magazine Subscription Price0) / Printed Magazine Subscription Price0) * 100 = (($13.40 - $20) / $20) * 100 = -33%
Percentage change in quantity of Digital Magazine Subscription Quantity = ((Digital Magazine Subscription Quantity1 - Digital Magazine Subscription Quantity0) / Digital Magazine Subscription Quantity0) * 100 = ((208 - 216) / 216) * 100 = -3.7037037037037%
Cross-price elasticity of demand between printed and digital magazine subscriptions = Percentage change in price of Printed Magazine Subscription / Percentage change in quantity of Digital Magazine Subscription Quantity = -33% / -3.7037037037037% = 8.91
Note: The relationship between printed and digital magazine subscriptions is that they are substitutes because the cross-price elasticity between them is positive. That is, an increase in the price of printed digital magazine makes consumer to switch to and buy more of digital magazine which is a substitute.

To begin with, in the business management field the concept known as "Matrix structure" or matrix management as well is refered to the dynamic way of organizating the company that has the characteristic of having the employees of the business answering directly to two or more superiors of leaders instead of just one. Therefore that in this type of organizational structure sometimes the matters of certain departments tend to interfere or collide with the objectives of others. That is the main reason why it does violates the principle of unity-of-command described in the organizational theory.
A local distributor for a national tire company expects to sell approximately 10,160 tires of a certain size and tread design next year. Annual carrying cost is $14 per tire and ordering cost is $76. The distributor operates 287 days a year.
a. What is the EOQ
b. How many times per year does the store reorder?
c. What is the length of an order cycle?
d. What is the total annual cost if the EOQ quantity is ordered?
Answer:
Following are the solution to the given points:
Explanation:
Given:
[tex](D) = 10,160\ tires / year\\\\(H) = \$14 / tire\\\\(S) = \$76\\\\work\ days\ number = 287 \ \frac{days}{year}[/tex]
For point a:
[tex]EOQ = \sqrt{(\frac{2DS}{H})}[/tex]
[tex]=\sqrt{(\frac{2\times 10,160\times 14 }{14})}\\\\=\sqrt{({2\times 10,160})}\\\\=\sqrt{20320}\\\\=142.548[/tex]
For point b:
Calculating the order of number of per year [tex]= \frac{D}{EOQ}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{10,160}{142.548}\\\\=71.27\approx 71[/tex]
therefore, the reorded store 71 times per year
For point c:
Calculating the order cycle length [tex]= (\frac{EOQ}{D}) \times \text{work days number in a year}[/tex]
[tex]= (\frac{142.548}{10,160}) \times287\\\\= 0.0140\times287\\\\=4.018[/tex]
For point d:
[tex]\text{Total annual cost = carrying cost + ordering cost}[/tex]
Carrying cost:
[tex]= (\frac{EOQ}{2}) \times H \\\\= (\frac{142.548}{2}) \times 14 \\\\= 71.274 \times 14 \\\\= \$997.836 \approx 998\\\\\[/tex]
Ordering cost:
[tex]= (\frac{D}{EOQ}) \times S \\\\ = (\frac{10160}{142.548}) \times 76 \\\\ = 71.274\times 76\\\\ = \$5416.824\\\\[/tex]
[tex]\therefore\\\\\text{Total annual cost = Carrying cost + Holding cost}[/tex]
[tex]=998+5416.824\\\\=6414.824[/tex]

BK Books is an online book retailer that also has 10,000 "bricks and mortar" outlets worldwide. You are a risk-neutral manager within the CorporateFinance Division and are in dire need of a new financial analyst. You onlyinterview students from the top MBAprograms in your area. Thanks to yourscreening mechanisms and contacts, the students you interview ultimately dif-fer only with respect to the wage that they are willing to accept. About 5 per-cent of acceptable candidates are willing to accept a salary of $60,000, while95 percent demand a salary of $110,000. There are two phases to the inter-view process that every interviewee must go through. Phase 1 is the initialone-hour on-campus interview. All candidates interviewed in Phase 1 are alsoinvited to Phase 2 of the interview, which consists of a five-hour office visit.In all, you spend six hours interviewing each candidate and value this time at$750. In addition, it costs a total of $4,250 in travel expenses to interview each candidate. you are very impressed with the first interviewee completing both phases of bk books’s interviewing process, and she has indicated that her reservation salary is $110,000. should you make her an offer at that salary or continue the interviewing process? explain.
Answer: Therefore, we should make her an offer at that salary
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question,
Lowest salary = $60,000
Highest salary = $110,000
Expected Benefit = 5% × ($110,000 - $60,000) = 5% × $50,000 = $2500
The cost of conducting another interview will be:
= cost of time + cost of travel
= $750 + $4250
= $5000
Since the cost of conducting the additional interview is more than the expected benefit, therefore the interviewee should be hired rather than continuing the interviewing process.
Therefore, we should make her an offer at that salary.
