Answer:
fall
rise
frictional
b. Improving a widely used job-search website so that it matches workers to job vacancies more effectively
Explanation:
A fall in the price of steel would reduce the profitability of producing steel for steel producing companies. Hence, the supply of steel would fall. as a result, less labour would be needed, so the demand for labour would fall.
A fall in the price of steel would reduce the cost of producing cars and thus increase the production of cars. as a result, more labour would be employed to make cars.
Frictional unemployment is when labour is unemployed between the time he leaves his current employment and time he finds another. by improving on the job search website, workers would be matched faster with available jobs, this frictional unemployment would decrease.

A company has average demand of 30 units per day. Lead time from the supplier averages seven days. Assume that the combined standard deviation of demand during lead time has been calculated and is equal to 20 units. One unit costs $10 and the inventory carrying cost is 25 percent. 1 standard deviation covers 84.13% 1.04 standard deviations covers 85% 1.28 standard deviations covers 90% 1.65 standard deviations covers 95% 1.96 standard deviations covers 97.5% 2 standard deviations covers 97.72% 2.33 standard deviations covers 99% 3 standard deviations covers 99.86% 6 standard deviations covers 99.99966% What is the reorder point for the company if it decides on a 99 percent service level?
Answer:
Re-order quantity = 256.6 or 257 units
Explanation:
We can calculate the reorder point for the company at 99% service level as follows
Solution
The Standard deviation of demand during lead time = sigma
Average daily demand = d
lead time = L
Standard deviation covered 99% = Z
DATA
Sigma =20 units
d= 30 units per day
L= 7 days
Z= 2.3
Calculation
Reorder quantity = (d x L) + (Z x sigma)
Reorder quantity = (30x7) + (2.33 x 20)
Reorder quantity = 210 + 46.6
Reorder quantity = 256.6 or 257 units
The manager of a bulk foods establishment sells a trail mix for $5 per pound and premium cashews for $15 per pound. The manager wishes to make a 75-pound mixture of both that will sell for $13 per pound. How many pounds of each should be used
Answer:
15 pounds of trail mix60 pounds of premium cashewsExplanation;
75 pounds of the mixture should be made so assuming the trail mix is x and the premium cashew is y, the following expression is formed;
x + y = 75
The selling price per pound is $13 so in total, sales should be;
= 75 * 13
= $975
5x + 15y = 975
Substitution can then be used;
x + y = 75
y = 75 - x
Then;
5x + 15y = 975
5x + 15 ( 75 - x ) = 975
5x + 1,125 - 15x = 975
-10x = -150
x = 15
y = 75 - 15
= 60
15 pounds of trail mix
60 pounds of premium cashews
Marsh Corporation purchased a machine on July 1, 2012, for $1,250,000. The machine was estimated to have a useful life of 10 years with an estimated salvage value of $70,000. During 2015, it became apparent that the machine would become uneconomical after December 31, 2019, and that the machine would have no scrap value. Accumulated depreciation on this machine as of December 31, 2014, was $295,000. What should be the charge for depreciation in 2015 under generally accepted accounting principles
Answer:
$191,000
Explanation:
The computation of straight line depreciation is shown below:-
Straight line Depreciation:
= (Book value - Salvage value) ÷ Remaining life
= ($1,250,000 - $295,000 - 0) ÷ (From 2015 to 2019)
= ($1,250,000 - $295,000 - 0) ÷ 5 year
= $191,000
Therefore for computing the straight line depreciation we simply applied the above formula.
A buyer purchased a new residence for $175,000. The buyer made a down payment of $15,000 and obtained a $160,000 mortgage loan. The builder of the house paid the lender 3% of the loan balance for the first year and 2% for the second year. This represented a total savings for the buyer of $8,000. What type of mortgage arrangement is this
Answer:
Buydown, is the right answer.
Explanation:
This is a buydown mortgage arrangement because in the buydown financing technique the buyer tries to take lower interest rates in the initial year of the loan period. Moreover, some mortgage lenders provide buydown discounts or points as part of their promotion. Secondly, the builder pays the initial payment to the mortgage institution that results in the lower buyer’s payment.
Company A has a patent with a book value of $500,000. At December 31, 2019, the fair value of the patent is determined to be $450,000. The expected future cash flows associated with the patent is $650,000. What amount of impairment should Company A record on this patent at 12/31/19?
Answer:
$50,000
Explanation:
A patent should be recorded at fair market value. When the book value of a patent is higher than its market value, then its book value should decrease. This decrease in the book value is called impairment.
In this case, the patent's book value is $500,000, but its market value is $450,000. The impairment loss = $500,000 - $450,000 = $50,000.

Suppose that the market portfolio is equally likely to increase by 24% or decrease by 8%. Security "X" goes up on average by 29% when the market goes up and goes down by 11% when the market goes down. Security "Y" goes down on average by 16% when the market goes up and goes up by 16% when the market goes down. Security "Z" goes up on average by 4% when the market goes up and goes up by 4% when the market goes down. The expected return on security with a beta of 0.8 is closest to: 3.2% 6.4% 0.0% 7.2%
Answer:
The expected return on security with a beta of 0.8 is closest to 7.2%.
Explanation:
This can be determined as follows:
Since the return of security Z remains at 4% despite the change in the market, security Z is the risk-free asset.
Note that a risk free asset is an asset which its returns does not change with change in the market.
Using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula, we have:
Er = Rf + (B * MPR) ............................................ (1)
Where;
ER = Expected return = ?
Rf = Risk-free rate = Rate of return of security z = 4%
B = Beta = 0.8
MPR = Market risk premium = Expected return on the market rate - Risk-free rate
Expected return on the market rate = (50% * 24%) + (50% *(-8%)) = 8%
Therefore, we have:
MPR = 8% - 4% = 4%
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have
Er = 4% + (0.8 * 4%)
Er = 0.072, or 7.2%
Therefore, the expected return on security with a beta of 0.8 is closest to 7.2%.
If the distribution of water is a natural monopoly, then (i) multiple firms would likely each have to pay large fixed costs to develop their own network of pipes. (ii) allowing for competition among different firms in the water-distribution industry is efficient. (iii) a single firm can serve the market at the lowest possible average total cost. Group of answer choices
Answer:
The question is incomplete, the options are missing. The options are the following:
A) (i) and (iii) only.
B) (ii) and (iii) only.
C) (i) and (ii) only.
D) (iii) only.
And the correct answer is the option D: (iii) only.
Explanation:
To begin with, the concept known as "Natural Monopoly" is understood to be the structure of market in where the organization that is considered to be a natural monopoly is the only seller in the market it is because the company has huge economies of scale and due to that reason it will naturally gain the whole market and the other companies will not be able to compete and will exit the market. So therefore that when there is a natural monopoly a single firm can serve the market at the lowest possible average total cost.
All of the following are important emergency management planning principles EXCEPT FOR: A. Planning must be community based, representing the whole population and its needs. B. Planning is fundamentally a process to manage risk. C. Planning should be flexible enough to address both traditional and catastrophic incidents. D. Planning results in unique plans for every type of threat or hazard.
Answer:
Correct Answer:
A. Planning must be community based, representing the whole population and its needs.
Explanation:
In any given situation, there maybe need to manage and mitigate the threat, hazards caused by an individual. This mitigation would be done through planning in-order to over come it. And, also, the planning could be individual based or group based (Community type of planning).
Answer:
D. Planning results in unique plans for every type of threat or hazard.
Explanation:
Emergency Management Plans are those measures developed ahead of time to handle emergencies. These plans are developed to handle activities that are prone to risks. Examples include natural disasters and cybercrimes. When making these plans, care should be taken to ensure that they embrace a 'whole-of-community' approach. This entails a careful analysis of the different categories of people that can be affected by these disasters as well as the specific locations where they can occur in the community. The methods developed should also be flexible enough to handle both local crises as well as very severe crisis.
It is important to note that unique plans cannot be developed for every type of hazard, rather common capabilities should be identified which can be applied to all hazards.

B) by charging a higher price to consumers whose demand is more elastic. C) by charging a lower price to consumers whose demand is more elastic. D) by charging the same price to all consumers.
Answer:
C) by charging a lower price to consumers whose demand is more elastic.
Explanation:
A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry. there is usually high barriers to entry of firms. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
An example of a monopoly is an utility company
Price discrimination is when a seller sells the same good at different buyers in different markets.
A seller should sell a good at a higher price to the consumer with a less elastic demand and at a lower price to the consumer with the more elastic demand so as to maximise revenue.

Iggie took a university teaching job as an assistant professor in 1980 at a salary of $15,000. By 2011, she had been promoted to full professor, with a salary of $70,000. If the price index was 82 in 1980 and 225 in 2011, then what is Iggie's 2011 salary in 1980 dollars
Answer:
$25,511.11
Explanation:
Iggie's salary in 1980 dollars = (salary / 2011 price index) x 1980 price index = ($70,000 / 225) x 82 = $25,511.11
The price index shows us how much the value of money has changed over time. In this case, $82 in 1980 could purchase X goods. In 2011, you would need $225 in order to be able to purchase the same amount of X goods.
A company purchased equipment and signed a 4-year installment loan at 10% annual interest. The annual payments equal $10,600. The present value of an annuity factor for 4 years at 10% is 3.1699. The present value of a single sum factor for 4 years at 10% is .6830. The present value of the loan is:
Answer:
$33,600.94
Explanation:
the present value of the loan = annuity payment x annuity factor = $10,600 x 3.1699 = $33,600.94
we can check that this amount is correct by:
first payment = $10,600 - ($33,600.94 x 10%) = $7,239.91
principal balance after first payment = $33,600.94 - $7,239.91 = $26,361.03
second payment = $10,600 - ($26,361.03 x 10%) = $7,963.90
principal balance after second payment = $26,361.03 - $7,963.90 = $18,397.13
third payment = $10,600 - ($18,397.13 x 10%) = $8,760.29
principal balance after third payment = $18,397.13 - $8,760.29 = $9,636.84
fourth payment = $10,600 - ($9,636.84 x 10%) = $9,636.32
principal balance after fourth payment = $9,636.84 - $9,636.32 = $0.52 (rounding error)
Shaw Company engages Maya Company to produce a large machine, install the machine, and train their employees on the machine. The machine, installation, and training are distinct, and Maya determines that the contract includes three separate performance obligations. The machine, installation, and training typically cost $800,000, $100,000, and $100,000 respectively when each is provided in a separate contract. Shaw and Maya agree to a total contract price of $920,000. How much of the contract price should Maya allocate to the machine, installation, and training, respectively?
Answer:
Explanation:
Cost
Machine - 800,000
Installation - 100,000
Training - 100,000
Total cost - 1,000,000
Contract price - 920,000
Using ratio to allocate the prices , we have
a)Machine price = cost of machine / total cost * total contract price
800,000/1,000,000*920,000 = 736,000
b) Installation price =cost of installation / total cost * total contract price
100,000/1,000,000*920,000 = 92,000
c) Training price = cost of training / total cost * total contra t price
100/1,000,000 * 920,000 = 92,000
736,000+92,000+92,000= =920,000
