Saving and net flows of capital and goods In a closed economy, saving and investment must be equal, but this is not the case in an open economy. In the following problem, you will explore how saving and investment are connected to the international flow of capital and goods in an economy. Before delving into the relationship between these various components of an economy, you will be asked to recall some relationships between aggregate variables that will be useful in your analysis
Recall the components that make up GDP. National income (Y) equals total expenditure on the economy's output of goods and services. Thus, where C consumption, I investment, G government purchases, X exports, M imports, and NX net exports: Y _________
Also, national saving is the income of the nation that is left after paying for Therefore, national saving (S) is defined as:
S _________
Rearranging the previous equation and solving for Y yields Y Plugging this into the original equation showing the various components of GDP results in the following relationship:
S ________
since net exports must equal net capital outflow (NCO, also known as net foreign investment) This is equivalent to S-

Explanation:
A department adds raw materials to a process at the beginning of the process and incurs conversion costs uniformly throughout the process. For the month of March, there were 5,000 units in the beginning work in process inventory; 70,000 units were started into production in March; and there were 25,000 units that were 60% complete in the ending work in process inventory at the end of March. What were the equivalent units of production for conversion costs for the month of March
Answer:
75,000 equivalent units
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What were the equivalent units of production for conversion costs for the month of March
First step is to calculate completed and transferred units
Completed and transferred units =5,000 + 70,000 − 25,000
Completed and transferred units = 50,000
Now let determine the equivalent units for direct materials cost
Using this formula
Equivalent units for direct materials cost =100% of the completed units + 100% of the ending inventory
Let plug in the formula
Equivalent units for direct materials cost= (50,000 × 100%) + (25,000 × 100%)
Equivalent units for direct materials cost=50,000+25,000
Equivalent units for direct materials cost=75,000
Therefore the equivalent units of production for conversion costs for the month of March is 75,000
Quality Motor Company is an auto repair shop that uses standards to control its labor time and labor cost. The standard labor cost for a motor tune-up is given below: Standard Hours Standard Rate Standard Cost Motor tune-up 2.50 $38.00 $95.00 The record showing the time spent in the shop last week on motor tune-ups has been misplaced. However, the shop supervisor recalls that 58 tune-ups were completed during the week, and the controller recalls the following variance data relating to tune-ups: Labor rate variance $ 450 F Labor spending variance $ 500 U Required: 1. Determine the number of actual labor-hours spent on tune-ups during the week. 2. Determine the actual hourly pay rate for tune-ups last week.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1
Labor efficiency variance = Labor spending variance+Labor rate variance
= $450 + $500
= $950U
Now as we know that
Labor efficiency variance = SR × (AH-SH)
950 = $38 × (AH - 58 × 2.50)
950 = $38 × (AH - 145)
25 = AH - 145
AH = 145 + 25
= 170
Actual labor hours = 170 hours
2
Labor rate variance = AH × (SR-AR)
450 = 170 × ($38 - AR)
2.65 = 38 - AR
AR = 38 - 2.65
= $35.35
Mr. and Mrs. Underhill operate a hardware store in a jurisdiction that levies both a sales tax on retail sales of tangible personalty and an annual personal property tax on business tangibles. The personal property tax is based on book value as of December 31. This year, Mr. and Mrs. Underhill purchased $840,000 of inventory for their store.a. Are Mr. and Mrs. CS required to pay sales tax on the purchase of the inventory?b. How can Mr. and Mrs. CS minimize their personal property tax by controlling the timing of their inventory purchases?A. Minimize inventory on hand as of December 31.
B. Minimize inventory on hand as of March 31.
C. Minimize inventory on hand as of December 1.
D. Minimize inventory on hand as of April 30.
Answer:
a). No.
b). Minimize inventory on hand as of December 31.
Explanation:
As per the details provided, the Underhill couple is not eligible to pay any kind of sales tax while purchasing the inventories for their business. This is because the inventories are not purchased for resale. The sales tax that is levied on the final good(sold to the consumer) includes the tax on inventories indirectly as well. Therefore, charging sales tax on inventories when bought would lead to double tax on a single good. Thus, the answer would be 'No' i.e. option a.
As per the second question, in order to minimize the property taxes the couple requires to 'decrease their purchases associated with inventory on approaching December 31st.' This is due to the rule of 'First In and First Out.' If the inventories on 31st December is restricted, the taxes would be applied on property accordingly but if there's a huge stock, the higher amount of taxes would be levied depending on the property that is being used for the business. Thus, option b is the correct answer.

Explanation:
Ethical issues are mostly complicated for businesses that operate in the global economy because different cultures have different norms and values.
Consider the following four investments. a)You invest $3,000 annually in a mutual fund that earns 10 percent annually, and you reinvest all distributions. How much will you have in the account at the end of 20 years
Answer: $171,825
Explanation:
As you invest the same base amount as well as every distribution you receive, this can be said to be an annuity due to the amount being the same and the interest being compounded.
The value at the end of 20 years would be the future value of this annuity and is calculable as follows:
= Annuity * ( ( 1 + rate) ^ number of period - 1) / rate
= 3,000 * ( ( 1 + 10%)²⁰ - 1) / 10%
= $171,824.998
= $171,825
On January 1, 2021, Red Inc. issued stock options for 250,000 shares to a division manager. The options have an estimated fair value of $7 each. To provide additional incentive for managerial achievement, the options are not exercisable unless divisional revenue increases by 6% in three years. Red initially estimates that it is probable the goal will be achieved. Ignoring taxes, what is compensation expense for 2021
Answer: $583,333
Explanation:
Compensation expense for 2021 = Total compensation / Vesting period
Total compensation:
Assuming the goal given is probable, the total compensation is:
= Number of shares * fair value
= 250,000 * 7
= $1,750,000
Vesting period = number of years goal is to be in effect = 3 years
Compensation expense 2021 = 1,750,000 / 3
= $583,333

The real interest rate is 3 percent, the inflation rate is 2 percent, and the tax rate on nominal interest is 25 percent. What is the true income tax rate on interest income? Why does inflation increase the true tax rate on interest income?
Answer:
True income tax on interest income:
= Tax on interest income / Real interest rate
Tax on interest income = Tax rate * Nominal interest
= 25% * (3% real rate + 2% inflation)
= 25% * 5%
= 1.25%
True income tax:
= 1.25% / 3%
= 41.67%
Why does inflation increase the true tax rate on interest income?
It is because tax is computed on the nominal interest rate as shown above. Nominal rates are affected by inflation such that when inflation rises, nominal rates rise as well which would lead to taxes being higher because they are now based on a higher figure.
Consider the following information about production in quarter 1 of 2019. Firm T produces 600 tires at a cost of $28 each, and sells 580 tires to Firm B at a cost of $39 each.Firm B produces 290 bicycles at a total cost of $330 each, and sells 280 bicycles to consumers for $400 each. In this simple economy, what is the value of inventory investment
Answer:
$3,860
Explanation:
Value of stock at the end of Firm T:
Firm T has stock of 20 tires at the end of the year
The cost price is $28 per tire
Value = Closing stock * Cost price of each tIres
Value = 20 * $28
Value = $560
Value of stock at the end of Firm B:
Firm B has stock of 10 bicycles at the end of the year
The cost price is $330 each
Value = Closing stock * Cost price of each bicycle
Value = 10 * $330
Value = $3,300
Value of the inventory investment = Value of stock at the end of Firm T + Value of stock at the end of Firm B
Value of the inventory investment = $560 + $3,300
Value of the inventory investment = $3,860

Job order versus Process Costing Which of the following industries would typically use job order costing, and which would typically use process costing? Steel manufacturing Business consulting Web designer Computer chip manufacturing Candy making Designer clothes manufacturing
Answer:
Job order versus Process Costing
Industries using job order costing:
Business consulting
Web designer
Designer clothes manufacturing
Industries using process costing:
Steel manufacturing
Computer chip manufacturing
Candy making
Explanation:
In job order costing, the manufacturer tracks its prime costs to individual products or jobs. This means that the costs of each job can be computed separately because costs are traced to each job. Under process costing, the prime costs are tracked to the department or process or batch, and not to individual products or jobs.
The basic premise of unrelated diversification is that:
a. the least risky way to diversify is to seek out businesses that are leaders in their respective industry.
b. the best companies to acquire are those that offer the greatest economies of scope rather than the greatest economies of scale.
c. the best way to build shareholder value is to acquire businesses with strong cross-business financial fit.
d. any company that can be acquired on good financial terms and that has satisfactory growth and earnings potential represents a good acquisition and a good business opportunity.
e. the task of building shareholder value is better served by seeking to stabilize earnings across the entire business cycle than by seeking to capture cross-business strategic fits.
Answer: d. any company that can be acquired on good financial terms and that has satisfactory growth and earnings potential represents a good acquisition and a good business opportunity.
Explanation:
Unrelated diversification refers to the addition of a subsidiary to a company so as to penetrate new markets and make more income.
When a company is deciding on a company to acquire, it will choose one that can be acquired relatively cheaply or at least at a fair value give its assets as well as one that has good growth prospects and potential to earn returns that will increase the returns of the purchasing company.
Unrelated diversification values favorable acquisitions and growth potential over industry leadership or strategic fits for shareholder value. Therefore, option d is correct.
Unrelated diversification refers to a corporate strategy where a company enters into businesses that are unrelated or have little overlap with its current operations or industry.
It involves expanding into new and distinct markets or industries that are not directly related to the company's existing products or services.
The aim of unrelated diversification is to spread business risk, tap into new sources of revenue, and achieve growth by entering unrelated markets.
This strategy often involves acquiring or starting businesses that may offer different growth opportunities or have synergistic potential, despite lacking strategic or operational connections to the existing core business.
Therefore, option d is correct.

Answer:
Total purchase= $109,000
Explanation:
To calculate the budgeted purchases, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Budgeted purchase:
Production= 125,000*0.8= 100,000
Desired ending inventory= 41,500
Beginning inventory= (32,500)
Total purchase= $109,000
Management of Carla Vista Home Furnishings is considering acquiring a new machine that can create customized window treatments. The equipment will cost $199,550 and will generate cash flows of $104,750 over each of the next six years. If the cost of capital is 13 percent, what is the MIRR on this project
Answer:
MIRR = 27.85%
Explanation:
Below is the calculations:
The cost of equipment, Present value = $199550
Generate cash flow each year = $104750
Time = 6 years
Now find the future value of annual cash flow = 104750 (F/A , 13%, 6)
The future value of annual cash flow =104750 x 8.3227
The future value of annual cash flow = $871802.825
Now find the MIRR = (871802.825 / 199550)^(1/6)-1
MIRR = (4.3688)^(1/6)-1
MIRR = 27.85%
A 13-year, 6 percent coupon bond pays interest semiannually. The bond has a face value of $1,000. What is the percentage change in the price of this bond if the market yield to maturity rises to 6.7 percent from the current rate of 5.5 percent
Answer: -10.14%
Explanation:
Original Price of bond:
Interest is paid semiannually so some variables need to be adjusted:
Period = 13 * 2= 26 semi annual periods
Coupon = 6% * 1,000 * 0.5 = $30 per period
Yield = 5.5% / 2 = 2.75%
Price = $1,046
Price after yield increases to 6.7%
Period = 13 * 2= 26 semi annual periods
Coupon = 6% * 1,000 * 0.5 = $30 per period
Yield = 6.7% / 2 = 3.35%
Price = $939.88
Percentage change = (939.88 - 1,046) / 1,046
= -10.14%

Why might some firms voluntarily pay workers a wage above the market equilibrium, even in the presence of surplus labor
Answer:
a. Paying higher wages can reduce a firm's training costs. b. Higher wages attract a more competent pool of workers. d. Paying higher wages helps workers to be healthier in some developing countries.Explanation:
Paying higher than average wages will help a company retain staff who would appreciate being paid so much. There will therefore be less workers leaving the company which means that there would be no need to train new staff.
Higher wages also attracts more competent workers because competitive wages attract better talent who would want to work for a company that adequately compensates them for their higher skillset.
Developing countries tend to have low minimum or rather low equilibrium wage rates in order to get companies to employ more people. This usually does not reflect the economic situation in he country so paying above this rate will ensure that the employees are better taken care of which would leave them healthier.

2.Dr Land $163,478
Dr r Land Improvement $54,493
Dr Building $145,314
Cr Cash $363,285
Explanation:
1. Calculation to Allocate the total cost among the three assets
First step is to Add up all expenditure costs Total Expenditure costs =$198,000+$66,000+$176,000
Total Expenditure costs =$440,000
Second step is to divide each expenditure up by the total amount
Land=($198,000/$440,000= 0.45)
Land improvement=($66,000/$440,000= 0.15)
Building=($176,000/$440,000= 0.40)
Now let Allocate the total cost among the three assets
Land=0.45* $363,285
Land = $163,478
Land improvement=0.15*$363,285
Land Improvement=$54,493
Building=0.40*$363,285
Building=$145,314
Total $363,285
($163,478+$54,493+$145,314)
Therefore the total allocation cost among the three assets is:
Land $163,478
Land Improvement $54,493
Building $145,314
2. Preparation of the journal entry to record the purchase
Dr Land $163,478

What can organizations do to keep rewards individualized enough to meet various employee needs (needs theory) while trying to ensure that everyone feels that all the different rewards are fair (equity theory)
Answer:
The best way to go about this is to design and operate and rewards system that recognizes individual needs as summarized and proposed by David McClelland.
The theory of equity on the other hand speaks to the perception of how input is compensated for in relation to those of others. Human beings (workers) will come with varying degrees of skills and input.
So to customize rewards in such a way that it recognizes unique contributions in an equitable way, one must first decide what key skills will be required for each job and which jobs are required to achieve organizational goals and objectives.
Explanation:
The Needs Theory by David Mclelland summarizes individual needs into three. They are:
Achievement AffiliationPowerA balanced reward system will have financial and non-financial benefits. some of the non-financial benefits will be tailored to have the above components.
- Achievement: An example of this is - Opportunity for higher assignments
- Affiliation: The need to belong to a strong Employer brand
- Power: This answers the question about whether or not one will become more influential as they progress with the company
The equity theory will guide the business owner in ensuring that all selected metrics of input are classed and priced accordingly.
The usual form of input include but are not limited to:
Ability Adaptability Commitment Determination Education Effort Enthusiasm Experience Flexibility Hard Work Loyalty Personal sacrifice Skill Support from co-workers and colleagues Time Tolerance Trust in supervisorsEquity sometimes is difficult to achieve due to issues with capacity on the part of the company. Best practice, however, is to recognize equity first from the perspective of standard industry practice, then match or exceed such offering by a combination of Financial and Non-Financial rewards that are based on the strength of the organization.
Another strategy is for organizations to adapt it's reward systems to Achievement Based Compensation. This type of compensation instead of focusing on the inputs listed above focuses on results.
In this case, expected results and capacity to deliver and subsequent rewards on same are discussed and agreed upon.
Minimum requirements are also defined ahead of time. Under this kind of structure, equity is achieved, and individual needs are recognized.
