Answer: Yes it does
Explanation:
The investment advisors say that the market rarely declines three years in a row.
Since 1872, it has declined two years in a row 8 times and three years in a row, only twice.
This means out of 8 times, it declined twice. Percentage of times it declined was:
= 2 / 8 * 100%
= 25%
25% while not rare, is a good enough percentage to trust the advice of the investment advisors.

A company that makes shopping carts for supermarkets and other stores recently purchased some new equipment that reduces the labor content of the jobs needed to produce the shopping carts. Prior to buying the new equipment, the company used 6 workers, who together produced an average of 100 carts per hour. Workers receive $11 per hour, and machine cost was $40 per hour. With the new equipment, it was possible to transfer one of the workers to another department, and equipment cost increased by $12 per hour, while output increased by 4 carts per hour. a. Compute labor productivity under each system. Use carts per worker per hour as the measure of labor productivity. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)
Answer:
A. Labor productivity before=16 cart per workers-hour
Labor productivity After=26 cart per workers-hour
B. Multifactor productivity Before=0.94 carts per hour
Multifactor productivity before=0.94 carts per hour
Explanation:
A. Computation of labor productivity under each system
Labor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/6 workers
Labor productivity Before=16 cart per workers-hour
Labor productivity After=(100 carts per hour+4 carts per hour)/4 workers
Labor productivity After=(104carts per hour /4 workers
Labor productivity After=26 cart per workers-hour
B. Computation of the multifactor productivity under each system.
Multifactor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/(6 workers*$11 per hour)+$40 per hour
Multifactor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/($66 per hour+$40 per hour)
Multifactor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/$106 per hour
Multifactor productivity Before=0.94 carts per hour
Multifactor productivity before=(100carts per hour + 4carts per hour)/(4 workers * $11 per hour$)+($40 per hour+12 per hour)
Multifactor productivity before=(104carts per hour /(4 workers * $11 per hour$)+($40 per hour+12 per hour)
Multifactor productivity before=(104carts per hour /($66 per hour+$52 per hour)
Multifactor productivity before=(104carts per hour /118per hour
Multifactor productivity before=0.94 carts per hour

Because your patented Gidgit is starting to gain attention and investors are starting to show interest, the executive committee is considering becoming a publicly held company by selling the company to the government.
True
False
Answer:
False.
Explanation:
Patent can be defined as the exclusive or sole right granted to an inventor by a sovereign authority such as a government, which enables him or her to manufacture, use, or sell an invention for a specific period of time.
Generally, patents are used on innovation for products that are manufactured through the application of various technologies.
Basically, the three (3) main ways to protect an intellectual property is to employ the use of trademarks, copyright and patents.
In this scenario, Because your patented Gidgit is starting to gain attention and investors are starting to show interest, the executive committee is considering becoming a publicly held company.
Since Gidgit is patented it cannot be sold to the government because it is a registered intellectual property that cannot be used or sold without the approval or consent of the owner.
Aquatic Equipment Corporation decided to switch from the LIFO method of costing inventories to the FIFO method at the beginning of 2018. The inventory as reported at the end of 2017 using LIFO would have been $70,000 higher using FIFO. Retained earnings at the end of 2017 was reported as $880,000 (reflecting the LIFO method). The tax rate is 34%.
Required:
1. Calculate the balance in retained earnings at the time of the change (beginning of 2013) as it would have been reported if FIFO had been used in prior years.
2. Prepare the journal entry at the beginning of 2013 to record the change in accounting principle. (If no entry is required for a particular transaction, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

Compute depreciation expense on the machine for the year ending December 31, 2020, and the year ending December 31, 2021, using the following methods. (Round depreciation per unit to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25 and final answers to decimal places, e-g. 45,892.)
2020 2021
(a) Straight-line
(b) Units-of-output
(c) Working hours
(d) Sum-of-the-years'digits
(e) Double-declining-balance (twice the straight-line rate) $
Answer:
(a) Straight-line
depreciable value = $107,100 - $6,300 = $100,800
depreciation expense per year = $100,800 / 7 = $14,400
depreciation expense 2020 = $14,400
depreciation expense 2021 = $14,400
(b) Units-of-output
depreciable value = $107,100 - $6,300 = $100,800
depreciation expense per unit = $100,800 / 630,000 = $0.16
depreciation expense 2020 = $0.16 x 59,400 = $9,504
depreciation expense 2021 = $0.16 x 51,800 = $8,288
(c) Working hours
depreciable value = $107,100 - $6,300 = $100,800
depreciation expense per working hour = $100,800 / 50,400 = $2
depreciation expense 2020 = $2 x 6,480 = $12,960
depreciation expense 2021 = $2 x 5,940 = $11,880
(d) Sum-of-the-years' digits
depreciable value = $107,100 - $6,300 = $100,800
depreciation expense 2020 = $100,800 x 7/28 = $25,200
depreciation expense 2021 = $100,800 x 6/28 = $21,600
(e) Double-declining-balance (twice the straight-line rate)
depreciation expense 2020 = $100,800 x 2/7 = $28,800
depreciation expense 2021 = $72,000 x 2/7 = $20,571

(a) Find the amount needed at maturity to generate $1,350 per month interest, if they can get 7 % interest compounded monthly.
(b) Find the monthly payment that they would have to make into an ordinary annuity to obtain the future value found in part (a) if their money earns 9 % and the term is twenty years.
Answer:
(a) The amount needed is $192,000.
(b) The monthly payment is $150.98.
Explanation:
Note: There are errors in this question. The correct question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Susan and Bill Stamp want to set up a TDA that will generate sufficient interest at maturity to meet their living expenses, which they project to be $1,200 per month. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)
(a) Find the amount needed at maturity to generate $1,200 per month interest, if they can get 7.25% interest compounded monthly.
(b) Find the monthly payment that they would have to make into an ordinary annuity to obtain the future value found in part (a) if their money earns 9.75% and the term is twenty years.
The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:
(a) Find the amount needed at maturity to generate $1,200 per month interest, if they can get 7.25% interest compounded monthly.
This can be calculated using the following future value formula:
FV = P / i ........................... (1)
Where;
FV = Amount needed at maturity = ?
P = Monthly payment or amount to generate monthly = $1,200
i = monthly interest rate = Annual interest rate / 12 = 7.25% / 12 = 0.075 / 12 = 0.00625
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
FV = $1,200 / 0.00625 = $192,000
Therefore, the amount needed is $192,000.
(b) Find the monthly payment that they would have to make into an ordinary annuity to obtain the future value found in part (a) if their money earns 9.75% and the term is twenty years.
This can be calculated using the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:
FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (2)
Where,
FV = Future value = $192,000
M = Monthly payment = ?
r = Monthly interest rate = 9.75% / 12 = 0.0975 / 12 = 0.008125
n = number of months = 25 years * Number of months in a year = 25 * 12 = 300
Substituting the values into equation (2) and solve for M, we have:
$192,000 = M * (((1 + 0.008125)^300 - 1) / 0.008125)
$192,000 = M * 1271.65920375075
M = $192,000 / 1271.65920375075
M = $150.98
Therefore, the monthly payment is $150.98.
Suppose the demand function for good X is given by: where is the quantity demanded of good X, is the price of good X, and is the price of good Y, which is related to good X. Using the midpoint method, if the price of good X is constant at $10 and the price of good Y decreases from $10 to $8, the cross price elasticity of demand is about:_________
Answer:
Quantity demanded is -0.4
Explanation:
Quantity demanded is -0.4 if the prices decline from $8 to $10. The cross price elasticity is the change in quantity demanded for the goods when the price of other goods changes. The price change can be minor and the quantity demanded change can be high.
Imprudential, Inc., has an unfunded pension liability of $573 million that must be paid in 20 years. To assess the value of the firm’s stock, financial analysts want to discount this liability back to the present. If the relevant discount rate is 6.6 percent, what is the present value of this liability?
Answer:
$159.59 million
Explanation:
The present value of the liability is the future value of the obligation which in this case is $573 million discounted at the 6.6% appropriate discount chosen by the analyst as shown below:
PV=FV/(1+r)^n
PV=the present value of the obligation=the unknown
FV=$573 million
r=discount rate=6.6%
n=number of years before the liability becomes due=20
PV=$573 million/(1+6.6%)^20
PV=$573 million/1.066^20
PV=$573 million/3.590410405
PV=$159.59 million
Johnson Company calculates its allowance for uncollectible accounts as 10% of its ending balance in gross accounts receivable. The allowance for uncollectible acccounts had a credit balance of $10,000 at the beginning of 2021. No previously written-off accounts receivable were reinstated during 2021. At 12/31/2021, gross accounts receivable totaled $166,700, and prior to recording the adjusting entry to recognize bad debts expense for 2021, the allowance for uncollectible accounts had a debit balance of 18,300.

3. $28,300
4. $28,300
Explanation:
1. Calculation for What was the balance in gross accounts receivable as of 12/31/2020
Balance in gross accounts receivable as of 12/31/2020=$10,000/ 10%
Balance in gross accounts receivable as of 12/31/2020 = $100,000
Therefore the balance in gross accounts receivable as of 12/31/2020 will be $100,000
2. Preparation of the journal entry that Johnson should record to recognize bad debt expense for 2021
2021
Dr Bad debt expense $34,970
Cr Allowance for uncollectible account $34,970
(10%*$166,700 + $18,300)
3. Calculation to Determine the amount of accounts receivable written off during 2021
2021 Accounts receivable written off = $10,000 - (-$18,300)
2021 Accounts receivable written off= $28,300
Therefore the amount of accounts receivable written off during 2021 will be $28,300
4. In a situation where Johnson used the direct write-off method, what would bad debt expense be for 2021 will be $28,300 calculated as : [$10,000 - (-$18,300) ]
=$28,300
Therefore the Bad debt expense under direct write off method will be $28,300

Beth, an employer, wants to hire someone for a strenuous job that requires a great deal of training, which will take place over the course of several years. The applicant who appears most qualified is 58 years old; however, Beth is concerned that the applicant will not be able to handle the physical demands of the position in the long run. Further, she is concerned that the applicant will only continue working for several more years before she retires. Does Beth hire the applicant anyway
Answer:
Beth should not hire the applicant.
Explanation:
Based on common hiring practices, Beth should not hire the applicant. Mainly due to the applicant's age. It costs a company a large amount of money to properly train an employee in order to have them be as efficient as possible when working for the company. This is regardless of their current experience, therefore if a candidate is as old as this particular candidate and is already thinking of retiring then it will be a waste of company resources to hire the individual candidate. Instead, Beth should go for someone with the same experience/skills but will instead be with the company for the long term.

Sue views hot dogs (H) and hot dog buns (B) as perfect complements in her consumption, and the corners of her indifference curves follow the 45-degree line: H-B. Suppose the price of hot dogs is $5 per package (8 hot dogs), the price of buns is $3 per package (8 hot dog buns), and Sue's budget is $48 per month. What is her optimal choice under this scenario?
A. 6 packages of hot dogs and 6 packages of buns.
B. 6 packages of hot dogs and 8 packages of buns.
C. 8 packages of hot dogs and 8 packages of buns.
D. 8 packages of hot dogs and 6 packages of buns.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
a budget constraint is the total amount of goods and services an individual can buy given the price of the products and the income of the consumer.
Sue is constrained by her income. Thus, she must spend within $48
The equation for this is :
$5H + $3B = $48
where
H = hot dogs
B = Hot dog buns
(5 x 6 ) + (3 x 6 ) = $48

• Who will produce it?
• For whom will it be produced?
In which type of economy are these decisions made solely by the
government?
A. Mixed
B. Free
C. Command
D. Traditional
Answer:
C. Command
Explanation:
In a command economy, the government owns and controls all the factors of production. All the factors of production are owned and controlled by the government. The government does all the productions through its agencies.
The government prepares central economic plans that guide the country's economic activities. The central plans indicate what goods and services will be produced, their quantities, and prices. The plans also dictate how distributions will be done in the country.

Lincoln Company purchased merchandise from Grandville Corp. on September 30, 2021. Payment was made in the form of a noninterest-bearing note requiring Lincoln to make six annual payments of $4,400 on each September 30, beginning on September 30, 2024. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Round your final answer to nearest whole dollar amount.) Required: Calculate the amount at which Lincoln should record the note payable and corresponding purchases on September 30, 2021, assuming that an interest rate of 9% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation.
Answer: $16,613
Explanation:
As the noninterest-bearing note required Lincoln to make six annual payments of $4,400, this is an annuity because it is a constant figure.
The amount that should be recorded is the present value of this amount.
Present value of annuity = Annuity * ( 1 - ( 1 + rate) ^ -no. of periods) / rate
= 4,400 * ( 1 - ( 1 + 9%)⁻⁶) / 9%
= $19,738
This present value is for September 30, 2023. It needs to be discounted further to September 30, 2021.
= 19,738 / (1 + 9%)²
= $16,613
. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) can be defined as: I. The sum of all incomes while adjusting for indirect business taxes and foreign incomes. II. The market value of goods and services sold in an economy in some time period. III. The total market value of final goods and services produced in an economy in some time period.
Answer:
The total market value of final goods and services produced in an economy in some time period.
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Net export = exports – imports
When exports exceed import there is a trade deficit and when import exceeds import, there is a trade surplus.
Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:
1. services not rendered to oneself
2. Activities not reported to the government
3. illegal activities
4. sale or purchase of used products
5. sale or purchase of intermediate products
B) Suppose that regular raises at your job allow you to increase your annual payment by 5% each year. For simplicity, assume this is a nominal rate, and your payment amount increases continuously. How long will it take to pay off the mortgage
Answer:
Time period required to pay off the mortgage = 18 years
Explanation:
Note: This question is incomplete and lacks necessary data to solve. But I have found that necessary data on the internet, which I have written down and solved the question accordingly.
Data Missing:
Buying Cost of House = $320000
Interest rate = 7%
Annual Mortgage Payment = $25525.8
Now, we are required to calculate the time period required to pay off the mortgage.
Solution:
Data Given:
Increase in annual payment percentage = 5%
So,
Formula:
P = C[tex]e^{A-i}[/tex] + C[tex]e^{2(A-i)}[/tex] + C[tex]e^{3(A-i)}[/tex] + ........ + C[tex]e^{n(A-i)}[/tex]
Where,
P = Buying Cost of House = $320000
i = interest rate = 7% = 0.07
A = Increase in annual payment percentage = 5% = 0.05
C = Annual Mortgage Payment = $25525.8
P = C[tex]e^{A-i}[/tex] + C[tex]e^{2(A-i)}[/tex] + C[tex]e^{3(A-i)}[/tex] + ........ + C[tex]e^{n(A-i)}[/tex]
In this formula, we have all the required things expect the value of n, which we have to calculate.
n = Time period required to pay the mortgage.
So,
$320000 = 25525.8 [tex]e^{0.05 - 0.07}[/tex] + 25525.8 [tex]e^{2(0.05 - 0.07)}[/tex] + 25525.8 [tex]e^{3(0.05 - 0.07)}[/tex] + ..... + 25525.8 [tex]e^{n(0.05 - 0.07)}[/tex]
Taking 25525.8 common,
320000 = 25525.8 ( [tex]e^{-0.02}[/tex] + [tex]e^{-0.04}[/tex] + [tex]e^{-0.06}[/tex] + .... + [tex]e^{-0.02n}[/tex] )
320000/25525.8 = ( [tex]e^{-0.02}[/tex] + [tex]e^{-0.04}[/tex] + [tex]e^{-0.06}[/tex] + .... + [tex]e^{-0.02n}[/tex] )
12.536 = ( [tex]e^{-0.02}[/tex] + [tex]e^{-0.04}[/tex] + [tex]e^{-0.06}[/tex] + .... + [tex]e^{-0.02n}[/tex] )
Taking e common:
12.536 = [tex]e^{-0.02 -0.04 - 0.06 + .... -0.02n}[/tex]
Taking Ln to solve for n, we get:
n = 17.89
n ≈ 18
n = 18 years
Hence, Time period required to pay off the mortgage = 18 years
At December 31, Year 1, Kale Co. had the following balances in the accounts it maintains at First State Bank:
Checking account #101 $175,000
Checking account #201 (10,000)
Money market account 25,000
90-day certificate of deposit, due 2/28/Y2 50,000
180-day certificate of deposit, due 3/15/Y2 80,000
Kale classifies investments with original maturities of three months or less as cash equivalents. In its December 31, Year 1, balance sheet, what amount should Kale report as cash and cash equivalents?
Answer:
$240,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of cash and cash equivalent is as follows;
Amount of cash and cash equivalents is
= Money market account + 90-day certificate of deposit + Checking account for 101 - Checking account for
= $25,000 + $50,000 + ($175,000 - $10,000)
= $25,000 + $50,000 + $165,000
= $240,000
Economists develop models to A. capture every detail of the real world. B. justify the assumptions they make about%E2%80%8B people's behavior. C. make their arguments more realistic. D. help us understand economic phenomena in the real world.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
An economic model is a caricature of reality. It allows users to observe, understand and predict economic phenomena. Economic models don't capture every detail of the real world
Examples of economic models include :
the production possibility frontierthe Keynesian IS/LM modelthe Mundell-Fleming model.The Production possibilities frontiers is a curve that shows the various combination of two goods a company can produce when all its resources are fully utilised.
The PPC is concave to the origin. This means that as more quantities of a product is produced, the fewer resources it has available to produce another good. As a result, less of the other product would be produced. So, the opportunity cost of producing a good increase as more and more of that good is produced.
Mohawk Machining, which uses a process-costing system, adds material at the beginning of production and incurs conversion cost evenly throughout manufacturing. The following selected information was taken from the company's accounting records: Total equivalent units of materials: 8,000 Total equivalent units of conversion: 7,400 Units started and completed during the period: 6,500 On the basis of this information, the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion is:_____.
A- 80%.
B- 70%.
C- 60%. - 40%.
D- some other percentage not listed above.
Answer:
C. 60%
Explanation:
Equivalent unit of Materials = 8,000.00
Equivalent unit of Conversion = 7,400.00
Units started and completed = 6,500.00
Since Materials are entered in the beginning it means that out of 8000 Units of Materials 6500 units are in Units started and completed and remaining 1500 Units are in Closing inventory. It also means that 1500 units are in Closing Inventory of Conversion and Equivalent production of conversion part of 1500 Units are 900 Units (7400-6500).
Let % Completion be x
X% of 1500 = 900
X = 900*100/1500
X = 60%.
AudioCables, Inc., is currently manufacturing an adapter that has a variable cost of $0.60 per unit and a selling price of $1.20 per unit. Fixed costs are $14,000. Current sales volume is 30,000 units. The firm can substantially improve the product quality by adding a new piece of equipment at an additional fixed cost of $6,000. Variable costs would increase to $0.75, but sales volume should jump to 50,000 units due to a higher-quality product. a. What is the current profit and proposed profit of the sales of AudioCables
Answer:
The answer is "$4,000 and $2,500"
Explanation:
Formula:
[tex]\text{Profit = Sales - Total cost}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{\text{Selling price}}{unit} \times \text{volume of Sale} - ( \text{Fixed cost} + \frac{\text{Variable cost}}{unit} \times \text{volume of Sale})[/tex]
[tex]= 1.20 \times 30000 - ( 14,000 + 0.6 \times 30,000)\\\\= 36,000 -( 14,000 + 18,000)\\\\= 36,000 - 14,000 - 18,000 \\\\= 36,000 - 32,000 \\\\= \$ 4,000[/tex]
The scenario was revised by installing new audio connection equipment:
The volume of revised sales[tex]= 50,000[/tex]
Fixed cost updated [tex]= \$ 41,000 + \$ 6,000 = \$ 20,000[/tex]
Cost of the updated component [tex]= \frac{\$ 0.75}{unit}[/tex]
Unchanged purchase price/unit [tex]= \frac{\$ 1.2}{unit}[/tex]
[tex]= 1.2 \times 50,000 -(20,000 + 0.75 \times 50,000)\\\\= 60,000 -(20,000 + 37,500)\\\\= 60,000 -(57,500)\\\\= 60,000 -57,500 \\\\ =2,500[/tex]
Audio cable sales are actually profiting = 4,000
Proposal for audio cable sales profit = 2,500
