Which of the following,if true,would most likely undermine the argument that Sweet Leaf Tea should implement a corporate-level strategy of vertical integration?A) Sweet Leaf Tea lacks the facilities or knowledge to produce the raw ingredients for its beverages.B) Market research suggests that Sweet Leaf Tea customers primarily purchase only one flavor of tea.C) Most loyal customers of Sweet Leaf Tea purchase the beverage at neighborhood convenience stores.D) Sweet Leaf Tea has decided to lower its prices by replacing cane sugar with corn syrup in some of its beverages.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct Answer:

A) Sweet Leaf Tea lacks the facilities or knowledge to produce the raw ingredients for its beverages.

Explanation:

Vertical integration is a strategy whereby a company owns or controls its suppliers, distributors or retail locations which helps to control its product value and supply chain associated with the product it is selling.

Also, vertical integration benefits companies by allowing them to control process, reduce costs and improve efficiencies of the product. Since Sweet Leaf Tea Company lacks the facilities or knowledge to produce the raw ingredients for its beverages, it would definitely undermine its ambition.

On June 2, Year 1, Tory, Inc. issued $500,000 of 10%, 15-year bonds at 98.8. Interest is payable semiannually on June 1 and December 1. Discount at issuance was $6,000. Tory uses the straight-line method to amortize the discount, which does not differ materially from GAAP in this instance. On June 2, Year 5, Tory retired half of the bonds at 98. What is the net amount that Tory should use in calculating the gain or loss on retirement of debt

Answers

Answer:

$247,800

Explanation:

Discount on bonds payable = $6,000

The discount on bonds payable should be amortized during the 30 coupon payments = $6,000 / 30 = $200

Only 4 years have passed until the partial redemption of the bonds, $200 x 8 = $1,600 of the discount on bonds payable had been amortized. The carrying value of the bonds = $500,000 - ($6,000 - $1,600) = $495,600

Since 50% of the bonds are being retired, the net amount used to calculate the retirement = $495,600 / 2 = $247,800

Sectoral shifts, frictional unemployment, and job searches Suppose the world price of steel falls substantially. The demand for labor among steel-producing firms in Pennsylvania will _____. The demand for labor among automobile-producing firms in Michigan, for which steel is an input, will _____. The temporary unemployment resulting from such sectoral shifts in the economy is best described as _____ unemployment.
Suppose the government wants to reduce this type of unemployment. Which of the following policies would help achieve this goal? Check all that apply.
a. Taxing the price of placing a resume or posting a job opening on a job-search website
b. Improving a widely used job-search website so that it matches workers to job vacancies more effectively
c. Increasing the benefits offered to unemployed workers through the government's unemployment insurance program

Answers

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.

Answers

Answer:

The question is not complete, below is the completed question:

The wage rate for widget makers is currently $25 per hour and Ajax hires 20 widget makers. If the wage rate were decreased to $20, what would happen to the marginal revenue product for labor at Ajax?

A) It would remain the same.

B) It would increase since Ajax's demand for labor curve will shift.

C) It would increase since the price of widgets would decrease.

D) It would decrease since Ajax will hire more workers.

Answer:

The correct answer is:

It would decrease since Ajax will hire more workers. (D)

Explanation:

Marginal Revenue Product for Labour (MRPL) is the extra labour generated when an extra worker is employed. In this case, since the wages decreased from $25 to $20, Ajax will hire more workers, because it can afford to pay more workers, meanwhile, the extra labour generated on the employment of an extra worker will decrease. The MRPL is used by firms to determine the number of labour to employ since they have to employ the right amount of labour to maintain profit and prevent diminishing returns associated with excess labour employment.

Thomas Company has a sales budget for next month of $1,000,000. Cost of goods sold is expected to be 25 percent of sales. All goods are paid for in the month following purchase. The beginning inventory of merchandise is $50,000, and an ending inventory of $64,000 is desired. Beginning accounts payable is $160,000.
For Thomas Company, the ending accounts payable should be:
A. $341,000
B. $356,000
C. $314,000
D. $414,000

Answers

Answer:

$264,000

Explanation:

Calculation for the ending accounts payable

First step is to find the cost of goods sold

Using this formula

Cost of goods sold=Sales budget * Sales percentage

Let plug in the formula

Cost of goods sold=$1,000,000*25%

Cost of goods sold=250,000

Second step is to calculate for the ending accounts payable

Using this formula

Ending accounts payable=Ending inventory + Cost of goods sold - Beginning inventory

Let plug in the formula

Ending accounts payable= $64,000 + $250,000 - $50,000

Ending accounts payable= $264,000

Therefore the Ending accounts payable will be $264,000

A BD application is received by the State Administrator for a new broker-dealer subsidiary of a British securities firm. The application includes the disclosure that the parent firm was suspended from membership on the London Stock Exchange 4 years ago because of unauthorized trading by its Singapore branch. The State Administrator:_______.

Answers

Answer:

B. Can deny registration based on the suspension by the foreign regulator.

Explanation:

Section 204 of the  Uniform Securities Act part H1 states that if an applicant has been convicted of the violation of the laws of a foreign jurisdiction governing or regulating any aspect of the securities and banking business within the past five years or has been the subject of an action meted by any of these bodies such as being denied, suspended, or revoked the right to do business as a broker-dealer, agent or investment banker by a self-regulatory organization or any organization acting under the securities act, the State Administrator reserves the right to by order, deny, suspend or revoke his application.

The Uniform Securities Act was formed to regulate and receive applications from interested applicants on securities on the state level. In the question above, since the applicant was suspended from membership on the London Stock Exchange 4 years ago because of unauthorized trading by its Singapore branch, the Administrator would be acting within his rights if he denied the registration.    

A 9% coupon bond with an ask price of 100:00 pays interest every 182 days. If the bond paid interest 112 days ago, the clean price of the bond would be

Answers

Answer:

$100

Explanation:

The computation of the clean price is shown below:

As we know that

Clean Price = Dirty Price − Accrued Interest

where,

Dirty price is

= Ask price + Accrued interest

The ask price is $100

And, the accrued interest is

= $100 × 9% × 112 days ÷ 360 days

= $2.74

Now the dirty price is

= $100 + $2.74

= $102.74

Therefore the clean price of the bond is

= $102.74 - $2.74

= $100

Or we can say that the ask price equivalent to the clean price of the bond as both are the quoted prices

Answers

Answer:

C. Has a relatively small effect on the aggregate-supply curve.

Explanation:

Cut in tax rates has it various views by a lot of economist, government officials and also the masses in general. In the view of a reasonable amount of economists, cut in rate of taxes are seen to have a relatively small effect on the aggregate supply curve.

While this aggregate supply curve is known to be the total supply of goods and also services produced by an economy in an overall period. This term can also be referred to as total output in some cases. This curve is seen to have effects on variables which ranges from the size and quality of labor to technological innovations, an increase in wages and a whole other variables too.

Consider the equation of exchange MV=Py. If money stock rises and velocity and output are constant, prices go ______. If money stock rises and prices and output are constant, velocity goes ______.

Answers

Answer:

1.  Up

2.  Up

Explanation:

Quantity theory of money is a theory that describes the relationship between the money supply and price level in an economy, indicating that the relationship is directly proportional to one another.

Also, the theory indicated that when money stock rises and prices and output are constant, then there is higher inflation rates, which then results to increase in the rates of velocity.

Hence, Considering the equation of exchange MV=Py.

Then, If money stock rises and velocity and output are constant, prices go UP. If money stock rises and prices and output are constant, velocity goes UP as well.

U.S. consumption increases by $500, U.S. net exports decline by $500, and U.S. GDP remains the same.

Answers

Answer:

D

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

The purchase increases consumption spending on durable goods by $500. Also, because the good is imported, imports increase by $500. Import in a negative function of net export. Net export decrease by $500.

the increase in consumption cancels out the decreases in net export, so GDP remains the same

Given that total spending for a certain household will always include a base amount of $1000/month, and that additional spending is equal to half of any income earned, we can predict total household spending with a model y=b+mx, where::_______

a. x represents income earned.
b. y represents income earned.
c. b = 1/2.

Answers

Answer:

a. x represents income earned

Explanation:

Using the model, which is the equation of a line or regression model.

y = mx + c

The base amount of $1000 which is always included is constant, this represents c, the intercept.

x in the equation is the independent variable, which is the income earned, and dictates the change in the amount spent y

m = 1/2 which dictates the proportion of the income earned that is spent.

y = the amount which is spend

Sunland Real Estate Company management is planning to fund a development project by issuing 10-year zero coupon bonds with a face value of $1,000. Assuming semiannual compounding, what will be the price of these bonds if the appropriate discount rate is 9.8 percent?

Answers

Answer:

$384.141

Explanation:

Given the following :

Discount rate (r) = 9.8%

Semi-annual compounding

Face value = $1000

Period (t) = 10 years

Price of zero-coupon bond (P) :

Face value / ( 1 + r)^t

r =. 9.8%, compounded semianually

r = (9.8 / 100) = 0.098 / 2 = 0.049

Period (t) = 10 * 2 = 20

P = 1000 / (1 + 0.049)^20

P = 1000 / 1.049^20

P = 1000 / 2.6032

P = 384.14062

P = $384.141 ( 3 decimal places)
