Suppose most people regard emeralds, rubies, and sapphires as close substitutes for diamonds. Then DeBeers, a large diamond company, has a. less incentive to advertise than it would otherwise have. b. more control over the price of diamonds than it would otherwise have. c. less market power than it would otherwise have. d. higher profits than it would otherwise have.
Answer: less market power than it would otherwise have.
Explanation:
Following the information given that most people regard emeralds, rubies, and sapphires as close substitutes for diamonds, then it can be infered that DeBeers, a large diamond company, will have less market power than it would otherwise have.
Since the company has less market power due to other substitutes in the market, there'll be less ability for the company to fix price since customers can easily move to other products and purchase them.
With so many workers habituated to using mobile devices for so much of their work, should company management develop apps for influencing subordinates? Explain your reasoning.
Answer:
This is not a yes or no answer.
The action of leadership/management would depend on their assessment of the impact of the habit on the results being delivered by the workers.
The questions to ask are:
Does the use of the mobile phone for their work reduce or increase productivity?Does what are the advantages? are there disadvantages?What would developing an app achieve for management?Explanation:
In trying to influence workers who are already habituated or accustomed to a particular way of doing things, it is best practice to study the culture and establish what its advantages are. This can then be compared to its demerits. If the demerits clearly and consistently present risks that make of no relevance the advantages, the leader(s) must move to correct such a risk.
So assuming that using mobile phones makes ICT risks (such as loss of company data, loss of company data, risk of unauthorised access etc) even more pronounced, whether or not the app is the best solution will depend on the total cost of that solution to the company weighed against other options.
Other options could simply be
- looking for an already existing app
- banning the using of mobile phone for office work using etc
- re-establishing the use of laptops as the preferred work tool
In any of the above scenarios, the leadership will succeed in influencing its workers positively if it:
plays its part well as a cultural shift role modelbecomes an arbiter of the policies modifying changes affecting work styleencourages the new workstyle by rewarding those that embrace it openly manage change by ensuring that there is a training platform that helps ease the transition into the new work style.Cheers
You run a hospital with 100 rooms. Fixed daily cost is $935.00 which includes staff salary, property charges, maintenance etc. Variable cost per room is $10.00 which includes cleaning, equipment rentals, utility cost etc. which is incurred only when the room is full. You charge $77.00 per room per day. You sold 40.00 rooms today, how much profit/loss did you earn for today.
Answer: $1,745
Explanation:
Profit ( loss) = Sales - Fixed costs - Variable costs
Sales = Rate per room * number of rooms rented
= 77 * 40
= $3,080
Variable costs = 40 * 10 per room
= $400
Profit (loss) = 3,080 - 935 - 400
= $1,745
MFI Inc. has a beta of . If the expected market return is percent and the risk-free rate is percent, what is the appropriate required return of MFI (using the CAPM)? Using the CAPM, the appropriate required return of MFI is 14.74%. (Round to two decimal places.)
Answer: 14.38%
Explanation:
Required return using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is:
= Risk free rate + Beta * (Expected market return - Risk free rate)
= 6.5% + 1.05 * (14% - 6.5%)
= 6.5% + 7.875%
= 14.38%
The partners share profits and losses in the ratio of 5:3:2, respectively. The partners agreed to dissolve the partnership after selling the other assets for $50,000. On dissolution of the partnership, Janet should receive:
Answer:
$30,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount received by Janet is given below:
Loss on sale of other assets is
= $150,000 - $50,000
= $100,000
Share of Janet in loss is
= $100,000 × 5 ÷ 10
= $50,000
So,
Janet revised capital balance is
= $80,000 - $50,000
= $30,000
Framjam Sports Equipment produces basketballs at its factory in Kentucky and soccer balls at its factory in Illinois. At its current annual rate of production, the cost of producing basketballs is $70,000 and the cost of producing soccer balls is $45,000. If the firm consolidates production at a single location, the annual cost of production will be $100,000. What is the degree of economies of scope in this case?
Answer:
0.15
Explanation:
The computation of the degree of economies of scope in this case is given below:
(cost of producing basketballs + cost of producing soccer balls - annual cost of production) ÷ annual cost of production
= ($70,000 + $45,000 - $100,000) ÷ $100,000
= 0.15

Down and Out Co. operates an executive placement service for corporate executives displaced by corporate restructuring. Its monthly total cost of cases is given by TC = 25 Q 1/2 + 2,500; the average cost at a caseload of 25 attempted placements per month is:
Answer:
The average cost at a caseload of 25 attempted placements per month is 105.
Explanation:
The total cost function given in the question first correctly stated as follows:
TC = 25Q^1/2 + 2,500 ................ (1)
A caseload of 25 attempted placements implies that:
Q = 25
Substitute Q = 25 into equation (1), we have:
TC = (25 * 25^(1/2)) + 2,500 = 2,625
The average cost (AC) can now be calculated as follows:
AC = TC / Q = 2,625 / 25 = 105
Therefore, the average cost at a caseload of 25 attempted placements per month is 105.

One of the growers is excited by the price increase caused by the blight because he believes it will increase revenue in this market. As an economics student, you can use elasticities to determine whether this change in price will lead to an increase or decrease in total revenue in this market.Using the midpoint method, the price elasticity of demand for soybeans between the prices of
Full question attached
Answer:
Not elastic
Explanation:
The formula for demand elasticity= percentage change in quantity/percentage change in price
Therefore demand elasticity = Q2-Q1/Q2+Q1/2/P2-P1/P2+P1/2
Using graph of demand attached
= 12-15/12+15/2/21-15/21+15/2
= -3/27/2/6/36/2
=-2/9/1/3
=-2/3
=-0.67
Elasticity is less than one and so demand is inelastic
Item X is a standard item stocked in a company's inventory of component parts. Each year the firm, on a random basis, uses about 1,600 of item X, which costs $25 each. Storage costs, which include insurance and cost of capital, amount to $6 per unit of average inventory. Every time an order is placed for more of item X, it costs $12. a. Whenever item X is ordered, what should the order size be
Answer:
80 quantities
Explanation:
to get the order size of the item, we have to use this formula
[tex]optimal quantity = \sqrt{\frac{2DS}{H} }[/tex]
From this formula above,
D = annual demand = 1600
s = set up cost= 12
h = holding cost = 6
[tex]\sqrt{\frac{2*1600*12}{6} }[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{6400} \\=80[/tex]
from this solution above, the order size should be 80 quantities

You are given the following data on US Treasury. The maturity date is May 15, 2041. The asked yield-to-maturity is 2.128%. The coupon rate is 2.35%. You agree to buy the bond June 21, 2021. Assume T 2. Par is $1,000. What is the clean (flat) price
Answer:
$1,035.84
Explanation:
Number of years to maturity (Nper) = 20
Annual Coupon payment (PMT) = 1000*2.35% =$23.50
Payment at maturity (FV) = $1000
Yield to maturity (Rate) = 2.13%
Using the MsExcel Present value function
Clean(flat) price = PV(Nper, PMT, FV, Rate)
Clean(flat) price = PV(20, 23.50, 1000, 2.13%)
Clean(flat) price = 1035.8436
Clean(flat) price = $1,035.84

If the price of a good increases, _____________. The demand curve _________________ . If the number of buyers in the market increases, ________________. The demand curve ____________.
Answer:
1. Quantity demanded decreases
2. Shift to the left
3. Quantity demanded increases
4. Shift to the right
Explanation:
If the price of a good increases, QUANTITY DEMANDED DECREASES, The demand curve SHIFT TO THE LEFT.
If the number of buyers in the market increases, QUANTITY DEMANDED INCREASES. The demand curve SHIFT TO THE RIGHT.
This is based on the law of demand which states under normal circumstances, the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded, and the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded.
A demand curve moves to the right when there is an increase in quantity demanded, while the demand curve also moves to the left when there is a decrease in quantity demanded.

Skyline Florists uses an activity-based costing system to compute the cost of making floral bouquets and delivering the bouquets to its commercial customers. Company personnel who earn $180,000 typically perform both tasks; other firm-wide overhead is expected to total $70,000. These costs are allocated as follows:
Bouquet Production Delivery Other
Wages and salaries 60% 30% 10%
Other overhead 50% 35% 15%
Riverside anticipates making 20,000 bouquets and 4,000 deliveries in the upcoming year. The cost of wages and salaries and other overhead that would be charged to each bouquet made is closest to:
a. $12.50.
b. $7.15.
c. some other amount.
d. $8.75.
e. $13.75.
Answer:
b. $7.15
Explanation:
Cost of wages & salaries per bouquet = [($180,000*60%) + ($70,000*50%)] / 20,000
Cost of wages & salaries per bouquet = ($108,000 + $35,000) / 20,000
Cost of wages & salaries per bouquet = $143,000 / 20,000
Cost of wages & salaries per bouquet = $7.15
So, the cost of wages and salaries and other overhead that would be charged to each bouquet made will be $7.15.

Rickett Corporation had a favorable direct-labor efficiency variance of $6,000 for the period just ended. The actual wage rate was $0.50 more than the standard rate of $12.00. If the company's standard hours allowed for actual production totaled 9,500, how many hours did the firm actually work
Answer:
Actual Quantity= 9,000 hours
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct-labor efficiency variance= $6,000 favorable
Standard rate= $12.00.
Standard quantity= 9,500
To calculate the actual hours worked, we need to use the following formula.
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
6,000 = (9,500 - Actual Quantity)*12
6,000= 114,000 - 12Actual Quantity
12Actual Quantity = 108,000
Actual Quantity= 9,000 hours

The spot price of an investment asset that provides no income is $32.10 and the risk-free rate for all maturities (with continuous compounding) is 6.25%. What is the 4-year forward price? Answer with two decimal digits accuracy. Example: 52.12
Answer:
$41.22
Explanation:
Forward price = Spot price*(1 + Risk free rate)^Time of contractContinuous compounding rate = e^(0.0625) = 1.06449445892 = 1.0645
Forward price = $32.10 * (1.0645)^4
Forward price = $32.10 * 1.28405215218
Forward price = $41.2180741
Forward price = $41.22
So, the 4-year forward price is $41.22.

Market efficiency is probably the most controversial concept in finance. Even recent winners of the Nobel Prize in Economics come down on opposite sides of the issue. Nonetheless, it is important for you to grapple with this idea. It has very important practical implications for investment decisions, including (especially) for your personal investment decision. In particular, should you pursue active or passive strategies
Answer:
Active strategies should be pursued when the market is more volatile, with larger fluctuations over a shorter period of time, that require a more active management of a portfolio, in order to take advantage of fast changing positions in different assets, and also in order to avoid possible losses due to staying in particular positions for too long.
Passive strategies is more long-term focused, and should be pursued when the economy is more stable. Passive strategies should be analyzed carefully before execution because once the passive investment is made, the idea is to keep the position for a long period of time instead of buying and selling constantly as in a active strategy.
